' s THE' PITTSBTJKG- DISPATCH, TUESDAY. JUNE- 8. 1890. t -ii!toF' - " ' r 7&.- -t-;-- m NEAR 260 The Estimated Present Popu lation of Pittsburg BY THE NEW DIBECTQBY. Allegheny Expected to Show Up With at Leasi 115,000. A GREAT GROWTH IN TEN TEARS Mr. J. P. Diffenbacher is in the swim. He has gotten out his revised edition of the Pittsburg, Allegheny. Sharpsburg and Etna Directory for 1890 16 days ahead of time, and it is now being delivered as fast as it can be gotten from the bindery. Some people, however, will be forced to wait for some time after others are served, as the city is supplied section by section, system being neoessaryin order to work expedi tiously. There are "sermons in stones, books in running brooks," and there is considerable statistical sncculency in jb. directory, and Sir. Diffenbacher emphasizes it in this cen sus edition. The book this year is set in nonpareil type, instead of brevier, as here tofore. The size of the book is thus dimin ished, making it much more convenient for handling, but the change cost the maker considerably more money, reducing the profit sharply. It is also bonnd with a tight back, so that it will lie flat when opened. The back is also ot Russia leather instead of skiver or sheep, as heretofore. This makes the book stronger, and it will stand more handling, as the cover will not come loose. The growth of the city rendered the book from year to year more and more bulky.and condensation in some shape had become an unavoidable necessity. SOIIE XETV tVBKTKI.ES. There are some new features introduced that will recommend themselves on sight to the most obtuse. For instance, the surname is given and then "dittoed" thus: " ", and all one has to do is to follow down the initial or Christian names, which run al phabetically as of yore, but, striking the eye at first glance, are much more readily found. Another marked improvement is the publication of a person's business and residence together. For instance, take John Smith. Heretofore, if he be longed to the firm of Johnston, Smith & Co., you found the firm name in one place and John Smith's name and residence in another. In the present edition it would run thus: "Smith, John, of Smith, John ston & Co., 1125 Carson street; h. 64 Du qnesne way." So you get to know all you want of Mr. Smith without looking first for his name and then for his firm, or vice versa. As a rule the same is trne of the disposition of bookkeepers and other prominent em ployes in firms, place of residence and busi ness both given in the same connection. The paper of this year's book is of better quality than that formerly used. - THE POPULATION OP PITTSBTJEO. The general directory, exclusive of the classified business list, contains 109,908 names, an increase of 3,000 for the year. Mr. Diffenbacher's estimate of the population of the two cities is 375,000, 260,000 in Pittsburg and 115,000 in Allegheny. This he obtains by multiplying the number ot names se cured for directory purposes by 4, instead of ii or 6, as is generally done. Thus his estimate can be taken as a very conservative one. Then, there are 10,000 more in Sharpsburg and Etna, and were McKeesport, Braddock, Sewickley, and for that matter, the county, ss it is so often remarked if should be, added to the city, Pittsburg would take the rank she should have instead of figuring in the census among a number of cities of much less importance. This will be more ap parent after the census returns are pub lished, as the boroughs have increased in population at a rate appreciated by but few beside those who live in them. GEOWTH OF TEX TEAKS. The directory of 1880, covering the same territory, contained 61,400 names. This is an increase of 80 per cent in population in ten years, notwithstanding the removal of large .manufacturing firms to Jeannette, "Wilmerding, Beaver Falls and to a score of "Western towns. which have not only carried away thousands oi men. but their families as well, which secessions, if pooled, would make of themselves a city of respectable size. It is a testimony to substantial growth that not only is the population departed not missed, but'the increase of 12,000 for the year is at a rate never dreamed of in past decades. This year's directory contains 1,076 pages, while last year's had 1,339 pages, but the present is more than equal to 1,500 of last year's pages. The present book is accom panied by a map of the two cities, wbich shows Scbenley Park and 165 new street locations and extensions. The printing was i' done by Stevenson & Foster, and the bind- r, ing by William G. Johnston & Co. Thedi- rectory is equal in appearance, style, ar rangement, etc, to any other in the country. There are some lights as well as shadows in directory making, and some amusing things are culled from reports of some name takers. It would seem that some who applied to Census Superintendent Oliver had an ex ceedingly brief apprenticeship under Mr. Diffenbacher. One had found a man whose surname was Benjamin. The canvasser, however, became twisted in some war in syllabification, and brought in the name of " Ben Jimmon." Such canvassers were invited to call at the paymaster's desk forthwith. some SKcnun spelling. One spelled Pittsbursr, "Pitts-Burg." Another found a "Muck smith." The rather plentiful name McKnight, was given in as "McNight" A man named Kohne cave his name and the style of his firm. The canvasser got his orthography iu the first place from the owner of the name and got it correctly, but concluded to give it variety, and in the designation of the firm it flashed up " Chone & Co." There was much of this kind of jvork, but these speci mens will suffice. People whose surnames begin with W in creased more than those whose names begin with any other letter in the alphabet, the additions being 426. M follows closely, the additions being 420. The great Smith family and its cognates, Schmid, Schmidt, Schm'it, Schmith, Schmitt, Smidt, Smit and Smyth, seem to have been either derelict in the matter of building up population or to have joined the hegira to those points which have lately set up in manufactnring. GWAB11S IEOM THE HIVES. There are really swarms from the parent hive, for, though some ot the companies have imported mechanics from Europe, the majority depended on taking their old workmen with them, and a resident of the Sonthside who keeps an eye on its changes and knows nearly all its old population, states that acres ot houses have been emptied by the removal of one large factory, but refilled so quickly by newcomers that only one well acquainted with the sec tion would observe the change. In some localities, a year or two ago, he knew almost every face in some blocks where now he recognizes but few, and he is no longer greeted by friendly dogs, as of yore, so that the departed population seems not only to have taken its household deities with it, bnt everything that once attached It to the spot. The ceaseless surge of popu lation rolls over these districts, and in a short time the departed will only be remem bered by immediate relatives and close friends. MIDLAND RAILROAD SOLD. The Nevr Trunk Llae to Chicago May Now be Ballt It Will be 60 Miles Shorter Tbnn Any of Ibo Olhera The Property Sold Cheap. The old rumor that the PittsDurg and "Western Railway would be part of a trunk line to Chicago became tangible yesterday by the sale of the American Midland road to the Pittsburg. Akron and Western. The following special from Findlay, O., last night tells the story: At the door of the United States Court room, Toledo, to-day, Marshal B. F. Wade sold the railroad known originally as the Xew York, Mahoning and Western, and more recently as the American .Midland. The road is 23 miles long. W. A. Lynch, ot Canton, O., bid 5110,000, and the road was knocked down to him. Mr. Lynch said tho purchase was for W. C. Dornin. of New York, bnt as he Is Interested in the Pittsbnrg, Akron and Western it is sus pectcd the purchase of the Midland was in the interest of the owners of that line, which Andrew Carnegie, the Pittsburg iron million aire, is in. The object of the purchase Is to construct a grand trunk line between Pittsburg and Chica go, wnicn win do fe least w miles suut tci uuu any other route. The company will have to build connections from Akron to Findlay, and work on this is already in progress. From findlay, the Midland will be used to Ft, Wayne, and from that city a new line is to be built into Chicago. Ibis will make one ot the best lines ever built across Ohio, and this filace will be on a great east and west trunk ine. The trials and tribulations which the New York, Mahoning and Western and the Midland haTe undergone for thetwo years past are now at an end. The property, at the selling price, is consid ered very cheap, as it is worthnearly.it not quite, the amount of the claim on it, about $200,000. BASING ATTEMrT AT BESCUK Charles Colgate's Deiperate Attack Upon Officers to Free His Friends. Charles Colgate made an effort to rescse a conple of friends from two policemen and a con stable on Fifth avenue last night; and as a re sult landed in Central station. Laura Mar shall, Ettie Wilson and John Hunter were in jail and tal.cn out for a hearing before Alder man Bell last ovening on charges of larceny and receiving goods stolen from the house of Ma mie Roddick. The parties are all colored. For some reason the bearing did not take place, and the prisoners were sent back to jail the two women in charge of Constable White, and Hunter in charge of Of ficers Bagley and Harris, also colored. When the officers and prisoner reached the corner of Fifth avenue and Ross street. Charles Colgate, a friend of Hunter and the Marshall woman, went to Hnnter's rescue and with a threaten ing gesture ordered the officers to release him. Officer Bagley immediately drew his revolver and warned Colgate, who left at once, bnt re turned before the party reached the jail en trance and made a dash at Constable White, who had charge of the two women. Wben he got .near enough Colgate struck a terrific blow at White, but the latter neatly dodged the olowand it landed on the head of Laura Marshall. The woman dropped as if shot and Colgate started on a rnn down Ross street to Diamond, where he turned up to Old avenue. The officers started in pursuit and Officet Geo'go Wagner, who had been at tracted to the scene, finally captured the fugi tive on Boyd street, Colgate was sent to Cen tral station and will have a bearing this morn ing. The Marshall woman was not seriously hurt, though she had to be carried, in an un conEuons condition, into the jaiL DHL IN THE PENITENTIARY. Typhoid Fever Carries OfT n Young Con vict.

GEHHAN SOLDIERS ORGANIZE. A Charter Issned Yesterday to the Frater nity of Arms. A charter was granted yesterday to the Ger man Fraternity of Arms of Pittsburg and Alle gheny.

The so ciety was organized in December. 1SS7, and on account of having some trouble with a certain element in the organization, who pulled out and wanted to take along the name, it was de cided to apply for a State charter, so as to be enabled to protect its interests. A PROTEST FROM CITIZENS. Dlnch Opposition Exists to tho Straightening of Webster Avenue. A meeting of the property holders of the Eighth, Eleventh and Thirteenth wards was held last night in the Eleventh ward school house, to take action on the question of object ing to the assessment for straighteningWebster avenue from Fulton to Robert streets. After some discussion it was decided to engago an attorney to protect the interests of the proper ty holders; that the persons present constitute themselves a committee to present a petition to councils protesting against tho btraightening of the thoroughfare. FOUNDED ON RUMOR. Ex-Mayor Allen, ofSi. Louis, Doesn't Know Anything About Noble's Resignation. Ex-Mayor George W. Allen, of St. Louis, is at the Dnqnesne. He said he knew Secretary Noble very well, and had heard rumors that be intended to resign, but that was all he knew about it. He thought It possible, if the Secretary bad been offered the position of attorney for a Western road with a big salary attached, that be would resign to accept iu Death of Mrs. General Hnys. Mrs. Anna A. Hays, widow of tbe Gen eral Alexander Hays, died at her residence in Sewickley late last evening.

CAN'T ST0PTHE WORK The Dnqnesne Traction Company's Line May Take Another Route IP THE SUPREME COURT STEPS INj A Sadden Hearing in the Cose to he Held In Harn$bur To-Day. TE0DBLE GETTING 1M0 WILKINBBDEG Attorneys D. T. Watson, Charles H. Mc- Kee and George C. Wilson leit last night for Harrisburg, to argue the injunction suit of the Pittsburg Traction Company against the Dnqnesne Traction Company, which will come up before the Supreme Court to day. It was stated yesterday, among the lawyers who are familiar-with the workings of such cases, that the decision of the Su preme Court will probably be in favorof the Duquesne Company, and if it is not, it does not matter. The Duquesne Company is still pursuing the even tenor of its way, and the work of constructing the line is going on day and night. It was not expected that the case would come up before the Supreme Court so soon, and the attorneys were somewhat surprised yesterday when they received telegrams or dering them to be present to argne the case at Harrisburg to-day. They lost no time getting ready, and left last night on the 8:10 train. Mr. Wilson, the attorney for the Pittsburg Company, was very glum and would say little about the case. OMLY A MATTEB OF FOEM. The other attorneys were hopeful of suc cess, and said there was no question about tho result. Mr. Watson, who has been suc cessful all through the fight made against his company by the Pittsburg Company, said it was only a matter of form to go to Harrisburg. The decision of tbe Supreme Conrt will be that the lower court is sustained and the Pittsburg Company has no case against the Duqujsne line. In speaking of the matter. Vice Presi dent George Rice, of tbe Duquesne Company, said yesterday: rue case is coming up sooner tnan we ex pected, but there is no question about the re sult. The Supreme Court got through the list earlier than it supposed, and has called the case for to-morrow. Our attorneys will be on band, and it goes without saying that the Dnqnesne Company will be successfnl. Tbe Attorney General of the State, and the Pittsburg courts have decided we have the right to put down our line, and we propose to do it. No matter what is done, tbe work of building the road will go on uninterruptedly. If we cannot go over the Ellsworth avenue and Craig street ronte to East Liberty we will find another out let. There is no question about the necessity of another line to the East End. Tho people want it, and we propose to give it to them. We will hare our cars running to Wilklnsburg by fall, and will make better time than the cable cars." MAT TAKE ANOTHEE BOTJTE. It is authoritatively stated that in the event of the Supreme Conrt reversing the decision of the lower court and Attorney General Kirk patrick and issue an injunction restraining the Duquesne Company from operating on Craig street and Ellsworth avenue, the electric com pany will abandon tbat route and go to Wilklnsburg via Barton street, wltbont run ning on Craig street at all. The suit of tho Pittsbnrg Company is to keep its formidable rival off Craig street. The route of the Du quesne Company is now out Forbes street to Craig, then through its own property to Ells worth avenue. If It is shut out of Craig street it will run out Forbes street, across the high bridge over the Junction Railroad to Barton street. From Barton street the line will be con structed to Howe street, wbich paral lels Fifth avenue, and is tbe first street below that thoroughfare, and runs from Aiken avenue to Festival street. Tbe line will then run along Howe street to Denniston avenue, and thence to Fifth ave nue aud Wilklnsburg. This route Is as short, but not as straight as via Craig street and Ells worth avenne, and on account of not much traffic on the streets the electric cars would make better time. When Vice President Rice was asked about the new ronte he said: MK. BICE'S POINTED TALK. "We have a charter covering the route you speak of, and of course if tbe injunction suit was decided against ns we would run our cars tbat way. It really does not matter to us what is done, but. as I said before, there is no question about the decision. It is as easy to go over one route as it is over tbe other. When e said we were going to build an electric road to Wilklnsburg we meant it. and are determined to carry out our promise. The construction of our line at this end has progressed as far as Bono, and we are pushing it as fast as we can. We are waiting in some places for the city to put down water pipes, so it will not become necessary to tear np our tracks after we get them down. This interferes with us to some ex tent." There has been some difficulty arranging for tbe entry of the new electric road into WilMnsburg, owing to the refusal of the Penn sjlvania Railroad to allow the road to cross its tracks at Penu avenue at grade. The Dnqnesne Company have the right of way into Wilklns burg, but could not overcome the objections of the railroad company. Now there is a project on foot for grading down Penn avenue so as to make a tunnel under the railroad tracks with a clear height of SO feet, so that a load of hay can pass through. It is believed an amicable division of tho expense between the Pennsylva nia Railroad and the Duquesne Company will be consummated. A FEROCIOUS DOG Tho Cause of a Shooting Affray In Bellz hooyer Lnst Night. A ferocious dog. a man with a revolver and a boy with a stone succeeded in making things lively in Beltzhoover last tiight. Charles Dun can, of Fourth avenue, owns the dog, And William Ostroski, a boy of 16, objected to hav ing the dog bark at him, and before ho passed the honse picked up a stone. Duncan told him if he threw the stone he would shoot, Tbe dog aid not wjit to have the stone thrown, and flew out at tbe boy. Ostroski claims that Duncan shot at him sev eral times, and late last night made an infor mation against him before Alderman Succop. Ostroski says he thinks Duncan must have shot himself in the hand, as his coat was bloody where Duncan grabbed him. A Policeman In Trouble. Messrs. Baden, McGeary and McCauley were appointed at last night's meeting of the Alle gheny Police Committee to investigate George Kane's complaint against Officer Robert Immer. Kane alleges tbat Immer threatened to shoot bim last month. Examining lhe Boxes. attorneys Brennen and Bennett and Master John Shaffer yesterday commenced to exam ine tbe billot boxes in the Stayton-Wyman contested election case. About half the boxes were examined, and the work will be continued to-day. Prof. Andrews Re-Elected. The Sixteenth Ward School Board reorgan ized last evening, and elected Samuel Andrews principal. The other teachers will be selected' on the third Friday in this month. WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING. Some Who Travel, Borne Who Do Nor, and Others Who Talk. W. A. Sipe, Esq., is keeping bachelor's ball at bis residence at Bnghtwood, P. & L. E. R. R. He keeps a colored man. who is chief cook and bottle washer of the establishment. Mrs. Slpe and her sons are spending the sum mer in Denver. Among the passengers on the eastern express last evening were Judge Kwing, Colonel Andrews, A. Y. Lee, D. C. Herbst, James A. Chambers and Colonel Willis J. Hullngs. of Oil city. Most of them were bound for New York. Thomas H. Morgan, lieutenant of No. 3 engine bouse, has resigned his position. Mr. Morgan has been connected with tbe fire de partment for the past ten years, and leaves It to go into other business. Herman Holmes, traveling passenger agent of the Louisville and Nashville road, is registered at tbe Seventh Avenne Hotel. Tho genial bustler always makes things bum when be comes to Pittsburg. Mrs. Victor Nusbaum and son, who bave been visltiog Mrs. Nusbaum's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leopold Einstein, of 311 East Ohio street, Allegheny, left for their home in Cleve land yesterday. Judge Sherman and wife, of Washing ton, passed through Pittsbnrg yesterday for Cleveland, where tbey were going to bury a son. Tbe Judge is a brother of the Senator and Gen eral Sherman. .buss .a. xena nouei, oi w incnester, Va is visiting the family of Mr. J. F, Dlffen- I naeher. a4 Emsworth. - WAKT THE SAME CHANCE. Chicago Lines to St. Paul Demand tho Lake Differentials Getting No Freight From This Terrllory-A Lively Unto Wnr Is Possible. The Chicago lines to SI. Paulhave asked the Eastern roads to give them the same dif ferentials on freight Irom this territory that the lake people now secure. A differential of 10 cents on the first two classes and 5 cents on tbe other three per 100 pounds Is the advan tage that tbe navigators now bold over the rail roads. For example, tho iron rate from Pitts burg to St Paul by rail is 25 cents; by lake it is 20 cents. The result is tbat during the sum mer all the freight from this territory to the NorthweBt goes by way of the lakes, and the lines west of Chicago are left out in tbe cold. The Lake Shore road, also, not baying a line from Pittsburg to Cleve land, is not getting any of the business, and this line is one of the heavy kickers against the discrimination. Last Monday the local freight agents wrestled with the problem at Mr, Means' office of tbe Panhandle. Dut thev couldn't com to any conclusion. They then decided to meet the Youngstown and Buffalo committees on June 6 at Niagara to confer about It. The agenti of tbe Western lines say tbey do not ask for the lake differentials, but they would like tolto see them reduced to a minimum The Northwestern road has its own line from lake points to St. Paul, and this road is not par ticularly Interested, in fact would prefer to see present rates maintained. From what could be learned some ot the local freight men are fear ful tbat if the request is granted that the lake lines will start a rate war tbat would be disas trous. The navigators are in a position to carry freight at much lower rates than the railroads, and the latter have no particular desire to stir them up. ALEGHENY WTLL CELEBRATE If it Can Secnro that 83,000 It Wants Councils io Give. Th'e general committee haying In charge the arrangements for tbe celebration of the semi centennial of Allegheny met last night and gave the exclusive privilege of publishing the official programme of the celebration, together with a complete history of the city, to Charles Wllhelm. Mr. Stockman, of the committee, reported that music for the occasion would cost 1,600 and invitations 100. Ho was authorized to make the contracts. It was decidod tbat the whole committee will wait upon the Finance Committee of Councils, at the meeting of the latter next Friday evening, and ask for the $5,000 appropriated by Councils toward defray ing tbe expenses of the celebratl6n, TAKING THE CENSUS. Supervisor Oliver's Little Army Commenced nn Active Campaign Yesterday. Th'e 'census enumerators commenced work yesterday. There are still two vacancies in the ranks. One man was sick and tbe heart of an other failed him, and be declined at the last moment to take the oatb. Many of the enu merators ran against snags, and dropped into Census Supervisor Oliver's office to get further information. Mr. Oliver said yesterday that where persons refused to answer the questions on tbe list the enumerators would so report, and the matter -be turned oyer to the Department of Justice. xne enumerators nave no power to make arrests. DROPPED FROM THE FORCE. Officer John Adlcy, Colored, Dismissed for Ungentlemnnly and Abusive Conduct. Yesterday afternoon Patrolman John Adley, colored, who was charged with improperly treating George Massey, also colored, had a bearing before the Peiice Board, consisting of Chief Brown and tbe three police inspectors. It was shown that Adley went into a barber shop and used abusive language toward Massey and afterward arrested the old man, handling him with considerable roughnes. The decision of the board was that be should be dismissed from tbe force, and his name was taken off the roll at once. ASKING FOR A NAMESAKE. Mayor Ganrley Writes to Secretary Tracy Abont Crnlser No. C.

What the Iron and Steel Workers Will Demand for Next Year. i NO DIFFICULT! IS EXPECTED. Efforts May he Made to Have tha, Glass fforkBrs' Case Heopened. JOSEPH I. ETANS' OFFICIAL REPORT The Wage Committee of the Amal gamated Association completed its work last evening at 5 o'clock, and the scale went into the hands of Secretary Martin, who was given instructions to put it in shape for presentation to the convention, which meets to-day. The provisions of the new scale are guarded with great secrecy by the members ot the Wage Committee. They will not even give information to members of the association, lest it leak ont before being presented to the convention. With all their secrecy, however, they could not prevent some points from gaining circulation. It is known that many changes will be made in the scale, and the most important of these is the advance to be asked for in boiling. This was not decided upon by the Wage Committee individually. A member of the committee said last evening that an expression-had been secured from every subordinate lodge, and the committee was compelled to be governed -by the wishes of the majority. THINK THEY CAN AFFORD IT. The estimated growth and development of the iron trade, given in various talks with manufacturers in connection with the census, as printed in THE DISPATCH, has proven an impetus for tbe men to push their demands with greater zeal. They are confident tbe manufacturers can afford to pay an advance, and they say tbey will not ask tor anything the manufacturers cannot pay. If the scale as reported to the convention is adorned, 6 will be asked for boiling on a 2-cent card, and 87 23 on a 3, with 60 cents extra per tOD for boiling half pig iron and half pot metal and stove plate. Other extras will De charged, ranging from 25 cents to SI, for castings and runners over 75 pounds to the piece, and for hot ore fix. There will be more "extras" in tbe scale this year than usual, owing to the admission of laborers and common mill hands, who must be provided for. There is expected to be a lively light over tbe differences between the roughers and catchers and rollers. The roughers and catchers receive $2 60 and 3 per day for seven and eight heats, respect ively. They are asking for a more equal di vision of the wages paid the rollers. Some rollers make as much as J9 per ton, according to the gauge, and the rongbers and catchers regard this as unfair. There will also be a demand for an advance in all departments of steel mills. The men here want a 10 per cent advance all around in every department. Tbey will ask for this, and will compromise tbe matter on the adootion of a sliding scale, to be governed during the year by the ptice of steel. BASIS OF THE CLAIM. It is claimed tbat steel has advanced more than 3 per ton during the last year, and the men have received no benefit of this advance. Many of the manufacturers are already Slacking up in anticipation oi trouDie. some of the men spoken to expressed themselves as believing tbe manufacturers would not sign tbe scale, and are beglning a dullness in trade to prevent an advance being asked. "But." said one of tbem, "we will make our demands, strike or no strike, and what is more, we will get about everything we ask for. We have no manufacturers' committee to deal with any more. We deal directly with tbe firms, and it is much more satisfactory. I don't believe there will be any difficulty. Tbe annual cry of the manufacturers is tbat tbey will not sign the scale, but they always come around in the end." The Amalgamated has an increased advan tage this year, in a largely increased member ship, which adds to its strength. Last year there were not more than 200 delegates present, while this year there will bo at least 250, which shows an Increase in membership of from 5,000 to 8,000. Aside from this, tbe association is backed up by an enormous treasury, which enables it to stand very firm. A MOST IMPOETANT MEETING. This will be one of the largest and most Important conventions ever held by the associa tion. It is not probable that President Weihe will be re-elected, owing to his repeated refusals tn serve another term. Should this prove the case, an entire change of the execu tive department of tbe association will possibly follow. There are several candidates for tbe pssition of President. The convention will be called to order this morning in New Turner Hall, Forbes street. Tbe first thing on the programme is the bearing and disposing of contested seats. This will likely consume the greater part of tho day, so tbat it is very probable tbe Wage Committee will not be able to report before to-morrow morning. The delegates came in yesterday and last night by tbe score, and most of them are quartered at the Central, St. Charles and Home Hotels. Arrangements have been completed for the mammoth picnic at Rock Point, next Saturday. It is expected 8,000 will be present. GBEAT GAME 01" PBEEZE-OTJT. Journeymen and Mmtcr Tinners Either Belting or Binding. "There will not be a union tinner working in the city to-morrow." It is strange that both sides involved in the present strike should be working on the same line, but the above was the almost universal expression that greeted tbe reporters yesterday as they visited journey men and master tinners. The master tinners say they have forced out the 60 men wbo were at work, so as to cut off the supDly of money to the supply fund con tributed by them. On tbe other hand, the journeymen say tbey are calling their men off to prevent the masters from getting their pressing work done. Tbey have been out five weeks, and they say they ran stay out five more before feeling tbe effects of tbe strike. The master tinners will appoint a new arbitration committee Friday night. STONECUTTERS ABE ITEM, Tbe Strikers Appoint n Committee to Meet the Blniter Cotters. The stonecutters of the two cities quit work yesterday and bave decided to stay out until they get an advance of 4 cents per hour. A meeting was held in Neidar's Hall. Hast street, Allegheny, over which William Wright pre sided and Charles Scberer acted as secretary. A committee was appointed to confer with the master stonecutters for the purpose of arrang ing the difficulty. The stonecutters are affiliated with the Stone cutters' Union of Pennsylvania, and also the newly organized Building Trades Council, of this city, and they expect to ft In. It is expected the matter will be adjusted in a day or two. HEW GLASSHOUSE AT IBWIJT. Twenty Acrea of Land Offered for a Mam moth Plate Work Site. Eastern capitalists have been in Irwin con ferring with tho North Irwin Land Company concerning the locating of a mammoth plate glassworks in , North Irwin. The local com pany having offered them 20 acres of land on which to erect their works, with gas and water at very low rates, it is very probable-that they will locate here. The plant when completed will coyer seven acres and employ between 600 and 800 men. DO HOT INTEND TO STRIKE. Hotel Walters Say Tbey Have Been Grossly misrepresented. The statements made in some of tbe papers yesterday that tbe hotel waiters would strike was most emphatically denied by tbe waiters. As stated previously in The Dispatch, the waiters will not strike until tbey are organized, and they will not strike at all except as a last resort. The waiters have never said they intended to strike, but they do want more wages and will make their demands in the proper manner. He Won Anjwny. A meeting of Union No. 15. Painters and Decorators, was held last night to elect dele gates to the Convention of Painters and Decor, ators to be held in Pittsburg in August, The meeting was exciting, the fight being to defeat M. P. Carrick. Tne"vote for the canaldatea was as follows: M. P. Carrick, 122; D. W. Luker, 112; C. J. Donnell, 47; W. B. Rowland, 63. Tbe Tnblea Turned. Tbe situation at the Oak Hill mine of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company, at Turtle Creek, is becoming serious. The com pany Is about to begin improvements that will take three months to complete, during which time the mines will remain closed. WANT THE CASE-JtEOPENED." MR. EVANS' OFFICIAL REPORT ON THE JEANNETTE GLASSWORKERS. He Asserts Important Testimony Was With held and Points Ont Peculiarities of the Case Believes tbe Court's Baling to bo Bad Law. It was reported in the city last evening that a new move is about to be made, lead ing to a reopening of the investigation of the Jeannette glassworkers' case. In this connection the following U a complete copy of the official report presented to the Cen tral Trades Councillast Saturday night by Master Workman Evans, of D. A. 3, K. of L., and which was accepted and unanimously ap- uiuiuu oy me council: .. ,. Pittsburg, May 2, 1830. io the Officer and Members or the Central Trades Council of Western 1'ennsylTanla: ..VB'"I'Mior As the committee appointed by this body to "place In the hands of the proper au thorities" the case or the imported glaia workers, and to assist In the prosecution of the nartles charged with a violation of tbe law, It becomes Incumbent on me to present to you this, my final Acuuru Let me say at tbe ontaet that I have received much abuse, both verbally and In tbe press, by the accused and their adnerents. for tbe action I have taken as President of your body and as your committee In the case, these Individuals forget ting or ignoring the fact that it was by the action of tho counsel of tbe accused tbat 1 became the frosecutor. However, when 1 endeavor to assist n the enforcement or laws Intended to benefit all organized labor, I care but little for the abuse ot those charged with their violation, and believe I will be able to snrvfte it. In the prosecution of the case, tbe clrcnm stances naturally compelled me to rely exclu sively on tbe attorneys In tbe case, Messrs. L.yon and Erennan. Tbe case was a hard one to man age, for tbe reason that the prosecution was com pelled to rely largely on the accused to prove the charge, as well as tbe men wbo were Importer!, lhe latter are In this country, and had tbey testi fied, as we believe they should. I have reason to think that thev believed they would eet but little chance to make a livelihood at their regular voca tion. It Is a notorious fact that one of these men made an affidavit that be came here on con tract; arterward be made another In which be denied the first, and yet no effort was made to Im peach theveracityofthlswitness. Allof thelm ported men were not subprenaed. Why, I know not. Home of them undoubtedly had money ad J?,nce, j t0 '"em. and thit money was collected on tbis side of the water. I learn that many of them are scattered throughout tbe country, which fact seems to me to De In itself suspicious. THE BULES OP EVIDENCE. The cause of the miscarriage of this suit may be in some measure attributed to the rules of evi dence, so-called, one of which provides tbat a man shall swear to tell "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." but when a man starts to tell tho whole truth be Is suddenly brought to a dead halt, bv being Informed that tbe "rules of evidence" do not permit It. The failure of the prosecution Is mainly, ir not wholly, attributable to tbe rulings of the learned Jndge, who asserts that a contract, to come within the meaning of the enactment must be actually made by the parties accused, with the lmDorted Dartles on foreign soil. pnt!rlv nrpr. looking that portion of the law which refers to Implied contracts, and in fact entirely killing the law. We had reason to expect a conviction In tbe case. Inasmuch as the Solicitor of tbe Treasury. Mr. Hepburn, has declared In a lengthy, exhaus tive and careful opinion that these men were Fosltlvely brought here In violation 01 the law. n this he was ably supported by Attorney Gen eral Miller, who was so positive of the violation that on the evidence submitted to him ordered tbe prosecution to be brought. I desire at this time to refer briefly to another feature of the case, viz: The convenience of man's memory while under oath. One of the witnesses wrote, or had written, a defense of bis action in assisting in the Importation of these men. He cansed the publication of this defense in tbe offlclaljournal of bis organization some months ago. When asked If the article was correct, be asserted tbat ha could not swenr to It unless be had the original manuscript. He aud other witnesses had conveniently mislaid or de stroyed documents which the prosecution deemed important, but such papers as tbey desired were either mislaid or destroTed. The peculiarities of this affair would cover en tirely too much space and so I will leave that part oi me sunjeci. I assert, though not a lawyer, that the evidence submitted In this case proved beyond doubt our position that these men were brought here in vio lation of the law. Here again we are met with a barrier. U e believe the ruling of the Court to be bad law, but we are forbidden an appeal to the Supreme Court, lly some singular law or rule of the United States Courts no appeal can be taken where the sum Involved does not reach fiCOO. In this instance the suit was for one man's importa tion, tbe penalty being (1,000. Why, then, may I inquire, was not the suit brought for two, three, four or fire? HIS EECOMMEIfDATIOirS. I present to you tbe official report for the fore noon's proceedings, the cost of which is 113, and which I ask you to pay. 1 also recommend that you procure tbe official proceedings of the after noon's session, which Id eludes the JudsVs charge. It may be valuable hereafter. I notice with some pleasure that Mr. Kerr, of Pennsylvania, has offered a resolution In the House of Kepresentatlves to Investigate the en tire affair, and I sincerely hope there will be no halt until tbe entire facts nre laid bare, and to this end this body should hold Itself ready to as sist at any and all times. I have purposely left to the last the disagreeable part of this subject. Homer L. McUaw and Ueneral William Blakely are charged with at tempting to smother this case before coming to trial, for a given sum of money. ou have ap pointed a committee to investigate and that com mittee should txert every power at the command of honest men to pursue tbe Investigation to an honest conclusion. In this tbey should be heartily and vigorously supported and I pledge myself to aid tbem by every means In my power. I leave the subject now with a clear conscience. I have made some new enemies, and have made some old ones more bitter. 1 bave nothing to re- Sct. I believed a law Intended for the benefit of nor had been violated. 1 still believe It. and will until we are accorded a hearing before the United Mates Supreme Court. Having volunta rily assumed the duties ol a delegate to this body and accepted the position of your President, 1 could and would not decline to perform royhonest duty demanded by you. 1 have made new friends and cemented old friendships. For this 1 am thankful. So far as this affair Is concerned I have the friendship of all 1 care for. Respectfully sub mitted. Joskfu L. EVahb. Tbe rumor afloat last night was to the effect that tbe Council had asked for a special officer to be sent from Washington to come to Pitts burg and investigate the case. Joseph L. Evans wben asked about it; said: "we are quietly waiting to see what tbe result will be in the Kerr case. If the bill presented to Con gress goes through all right, and the investiga tion is made, it will be satisfactory to us. I do not know of any officer coming here." A. A. OF. I. AND S. W.

Lunatic Eacapea From a Chicago Asylum nnd Tramps to Pittsburg. Yesterday a man walked into tbe office of the Department of Charities, dropped lntojt chair with an air of comfort, greeted Examiner Hoff man familiarly and waited for a recognition. Mr. Hoffman looked at bim for a moment, when the caller said cheerfully: "Guess you don't know me, eh!" "Guess not," laconically replied tbe exam iner. Tm Nugent.

In answer to questions he said he bad gone to Chicago with bis family after he left the farm. His wife had bim confined in a Chicago hospit al for tbe insane, but it did not compare favor ably with the Pittsburg resort and bo made bis escape some time ago, working bis way by easy stages to tbis city, expecting to go back to the Poor Farm.
