BATOfiDAI'S 1'ITHI LABOE ITEMS
Among the hundreds of picnics that hare
heen held at Eock Point, there never was
such a one as that held there yesterday by
the Amalgamated Association. The
Committee ot Arrangements had
counted on having 10,000 people out, but
early in the morning trains iaden with'
thousands of prospective excursionists leit
Pittsburg, "Wheeling, Bellairc, New Cas
tle, Steubenville, Youngstown, Ashtabula
nnd Cleveland, and when all
arrived it was estimated that
no less than 18,000 to 20,000 people were on
the grounds. Tbe weather was threatening
at times, but old Sol had too much consider
ation for the picnickers to spoil their pleas
lire, and not a drop of rain fell the entire
day.
Tne delegates to the Amalgamated Asso
ciation met at 9 o'clock. After roll call
they lormed in marching order, and, headed
by the Select Knights Band, marched to the
"Union station. Trains comprising 150 cars,
and carrying 8,000, left the Union depot in
side of three hours. Many of the members
took their families.
THE DAY'S EXJOYMEXTS.
At Bock Point no set programme was pur
sued. The people rushed into the grounds
and scattered back over the hills, across the
Beaver river and up the Connoquencssing
st will. Some fished; others played games.
Some put in the whole day on the grounds,
swinging, dancinc, ndin on the roller
1-o.istcr or "flying dutchmau;" others sti oiled
no the ramble to the falls and viewed
the beautiful scenery along the Connoque
jiessmg. There was an attempt at a game
of ball, but no man in all that throng could
be induced to assume the responsibility of
umpiring the game, and it was abandoned.
There were fakirs of every description on
the ground. There weie also pickpockets
and other crooks there. A man named Wil
son, from Xcw Castle, had a gold watch
stolen from him in the afternoon.
Considering the vast number present, it is
probably not lair to say the crowd was a
disorderly one. The committee had made a
rule that there should be no drinking on the
ground, but the rnle was like a good many
of the Ten Commandments.
A FEW OK THEIR MUSCLE,
There were also a number of fights toward
evening. One occurred across the Beaver
river, opposite the grounds, in which "Will
iam Cugan, of Youngstown, had his head
and face badly cut and part of one ear
bit off. During the afternoon a quarrel
arose between two men over a woman. One
of the men drew a knife and threatened to
stab the first one who came near him. He
held the fort for a while, but got into
another rumpus and was pretty badly used
np himself.
There was a great deal of difficulty in
getting the crowd away from the Point.
Trains were scheduled to run every half
hour from i until 8:30 p. M., nut owing to
some disarrangement of railroad affairs no
train left the grounds for any point from 5
to 8 o'clock. The Pittsburg excursionists
did not get home until after 11 o'clock last
night.
The convention will meet again to-morrow
morning at 9 o'clock, to continue the
discussion of the scale. Xow that tne
price for boiling has been reaffirmed, it is
not thought the convention will waste much
time over the remainder of the scale.
THT. piMttmR' RTKTKT. SETTLED.
A Compromise Effected at n Conference
Committee Medina Yesterday.
The tinners" strike was settled yesterday,
and the men vill return to wort to-morrow
morning. A meeting of the strikers will be
held this afternoon for the purpose of re
ceiving the report of their Conference Com
mittee as to the terms of settlement. This
information could not be obtained from
either side yesterday, but it is understood
that the employers made great concessions.
At a meeting of the master tinners, it was
decided to call another conference with the
strikers and make some overtures to them.
The strikers' committee was notified, and
both sides came together at 2 o'clock. Tne
meeting was held in the rooms of the Build
ers' Exchange, in the Benshaw bnilding,
and, after a stubborn ficnt on both sides, the
matter was amicably adjusted. The confer
ence did not adjourn until supper time, and
after the strikers had left Mr. John Mcllroy,
of the Masters' Conference Committee, said:
"The strike has been settled satisfactorily
to both sides and the men will go to 'work
on Monday morning. I cannot say what
the terms were, but concessions were made
on both sides. The terms will be satisfac
tory to all the employers and the strikers
will meet to-morrow to ratify the action of
their committee. There is not any question
at all but that the men will go to work and
everybody will be glad of it. We are away
back in our work, but hope to catch up
soon."
The strike was inaugurated May 1 and
was for an advance of wages. Some of the
master tinners signed the scale, but the ma
jority of them, who were bound by an agree
ment not to do so, stocfc out and went so far
as to do all the work they could themselves.
Building operations were stopped in a great
many places, and out in the East End there
are a number of honses waiting for the
tinners to do their part of the job. In half
a dozen or more places families have been
kept out of their houses on account of the
tinners refusing to work until they got what
thev asked for.

The
Knights of Labor Again Secure a
Foothold In ItlcKeeiport.
TheXnightsof Labor ha veagain sccureda
foothold in McKeesport among the iron
workers. About three years ago the order
had about 1,000 members in the National
Tube Works, but the strike ot '87 killed
three of the local assemblies, and the other
one lapsed about six months later.
Ex-District Master Workman Boss, of D.
A. No. 3, Kniehts of Labor, was in Mc
Keesport last night and organized an as
sembly among the National Tube Works
employes. When the latter were on strike
a few months ago, they saw the necessity of
an organization. The officials of the com
pany also admitted that had the plant been
organized, the last strike for an increase of
wages could not have occurred.
The new local assembly starts off with
several hundred members. It has not been
given a name yet and will not until the
charter is received from tne general head
quarters next week. This makes three
assemblies in the growing joung city.
The Arbitration Committee appointed to
investigate the wages paid in other mills, is
still at work. It is not known yet what
their decision will be. Whatever it is, the
company will abide by the decision, and if
higher wages are paid anywhere else, it will
advance its employes to the same standard.
INVESTIGATING ITGAWS CASE.
A Meeting of the Snb;Comm!ttee Will be
Held Friday Night.
A meeting of the sub-committee of the
Trades Council committee, appointed to in
vestigate the charges against Homer L. Nc
Gaw in the Jcannette case, will probably be
held on Friday evening next to submit the
tesmuny for submission to the general com
mittee. The sub-committee has in its possession a
great amount ot testimony damaging to Mr.
McGaw. When the report is made the
members bay thev will spring a sensation
that will staitle the labor world. One ot the
committee men stated yesterday that, among
other evidence, they found that Mr. McGaw
approached James Campbell's attorneys and
asked for a settlement. The committee is
also preparing statements from newspaper
offices in regard to the threats made by Mr.
McGaw as to what he would do if anything
about the 55,000 settlement was published.

ARBEITEK ZETTUNG QUITS.
The German Labor Pnper Assigns After on
VnremnneratlTB Existence.
The German labor paper, after a brief,
spirited and nnremunerative struggle with
the world, gave up the ghost yesterday and
decided to close out its business. The paper
was started about a year ago for the purpose
of advocating the rights of the German
workingmen. The following tale of woe
from the court records tells the story:
A deed of assignment of the property of
the German Workingmen's Publishing Com
pany, proprietors ot the Arbeiter Zeitung,
to Lorenz Blattaer for the benefit of creditors,
was filed yesterday in the Recorder's office.
To Blow In Next Week.
Carnegie's Furnace C, at Bessemer, which
has teen undergoing repairs lor the past
three months, will be blown in next week.
The furnace has been relined and many im
provements made. Furnace I, one of tho
new stacks, will be completed and blown in
some time in August.
Contrncis for Pipe Coverings.
C. H. Yannostrand, Secretary of the
Chalmers-Speuce Company, of New York,
who has been in the city for a few days, left
yesterday for his home. While in Pitts
burg he closed a number of contracts with
local concerns for asbestos pipe coverings.
UNANIMOUSLY IN FAVOR.
Tho Bar Association Adopts the Deed and
Mortgage Itovislon.
Harvey Henderson, John G. Bryant and
John A. Evans, Esqs., the committee ap
pointed to procure deed and mortgage forms,
reported their work to the Bar Association
yesterday. The report and forms recom
mended were adopted without division.
Mr. Henderson stated that no reform can
be effected unless the majority of toe bar co
operate, and the Bar Association will work
to a man to overcome the prejudice of those
who object. As the binding power of the
new forms isfully equal to that of the old,
and as the elimination should save taxpayers
many tnousaaus oi uoiiara, nesiae contribut
ing to security in examination of title,
there does not seem to be the smallest possi
ble reason why any one should make objection.
COULDN'T BE PROYED.
Detective Walkup's Charges Against
Major Wvman Fall Through.
YERT FEW WITNESSES ON HAND,
And
the Evidence Adduced of Such, a
Hearsay Character That
COL. ECHOLS HAS THE CASE DISMISSED
The hearing beiore Alderman Beilly yes
terday afternoon in the case of Mayor
James G. Wyman, of Allegheny, charged
by Isaac H. "Walkup with perjury in taking
the oath of office, collapsed very speedily.
Colonel J. B. Echols appeared for the prose
cutor and the defendant was flanked by
Thomas M. Marshall, W. D. Porter, Frank
Bennett and J. S. Ferguson, all ot whom
took a hand at intervals.
For some reason the witnesses for the
prosecution, of which there were said to be
many, were not discernible. President
Hunter, of Allegheny Common Council,
was first called, hut did not respond.
Colonel Echols stated that the constable had
not been able to find him, and snggested
that this wasn't material, but Mr. Marshall
was not disposed to yield the point, and the
prosecutor was then sworn, it being agreed
that Hunter's lapse might be allowed to
rest for the present, but Mr. Marshall said
he would not agree thatthe swearing should
be taken for granted.
In answer to interrogatories fired at him
from all the defendant's counsel, but mainly
from Mr. Marshall, Mr. Walkup stated
that he represented in the prosecution a
number of the best citizens of Allegheny.
To this Mr. Marshall responded: "I'm one
of them, and you don't represent me."
After some chaffing, Mr. Walkup said Louis
Koemer told him he (Koemer) had been
promised a position by Mayor Wyman and
had carried money lor him. William
Scott, a moulder, ditto; H. C. Koehrner,
ditto. He is an agent for the Barnes Safe
and Lock Company.
WHAT HE HAD HEARD.
Witness had gotten considerable informa
tion from Robert Eberhardt, an ex-policeman,
who said be got $25. A man named
Taylor, a newspaper writer, had also fur
nished Walkup with information. He
further testified that Albert Hetzel told
him he had seen money paid to men
in Beitler's saloon, on West Diamond
street, Allegheny. John H. Lotta had told
witness he (Lotta) had received money and
the promise of a position as a detective by
Wyman. Bobert Boggs had told witness of
bavin; seen Harry Miller get 518 or $20 in
Alderman MnKelvey's office. Miller said
he "was broke, and would have to see Jim."
Walkup did not know but that it might
have been a loan, or lor work done. The
recipient had asked the crowd to drink after
he got the money. Edward Hesser eave
witness some bogus tax receipts that Hesser
said Wyman had used Hesser said he had
gotten them from John Miiby, who said
people had voted on them.
Several specimens of the receipts were ex
hibited, and Mr. Marshall said in comment,
"This is all moonshine," and continued
comment on them at considerable length in
the disparaging manner incident to such
proceedings.
After a time Walkup resumed and said
that Michael Coon had told him he (Coon)
had received $10 from Wyman, at which
Coon broke through the crowd and de
nounced the statement as false. Mr. Coon
was somewhat excited, but Chief of Police
Murphy exerted repression, and Coon was
turned out, shrieking, "You shan't mis
represent me; that's a lie," etc
BEEE FOB A CLUBF.OOM.
Walkup kept on in the even tenor of his
wav, and stated that Marty Oliver had told
him that "Jim Wyman sent six kegsot beer
to Baeder's clubroom and $5 lor the use of
the room. I heard the sane from a man
named Smith. Andy Montgomery, of the
Filth or Sixth ward, told me that his friends
went to see Jim, aod be promised him a
position, and he was all right up to within
30 minutes before Wyman announced his
appointments. David Morrison, of the Sec
ond ward, said he had been promised the
position of ordnance officer."
Mr. Marshall Is there any law against
making promises?
Colonel Echols The witness is not an ex
pert. Witness, continuing Lou Koemer told
me he had delivered $25 to Mr. Paffenbach,
and the same amount to Councilman George
Schad. William Scott told me he got
money from Wyman, who told him to do
what "he could with it to buy drinks for
the boys.
Mr. Marshall You carry on a detective
business, do you, Mr. Walkup?
"Yes, sir."
"You got a compensation for your work?"
"Not yet."
"Well, you were promised something?"
"Well, 1 understood X would receive
pay.
"How much $300 or $500?"
"Oh, no; nothing like that "
"Well, did you do all this work for
nothing?"
"No, I got my expenses."
"From whom?"
"L K, Stayton."
"How much', and when did he give it to
you?"
HOW HE WAS PAID.
"He gave me $10 on February 26, $10 on
March 1, $5 on March 7, $3 and $5 a few
davs later. I don't remember the dates, $3
on'March 17, $5 on the 19th. $3 on the 21st,
$5 on Mav 6, $10 on May 9. $5 on May 10,
$5 on May 15, $6 on May 17. $5 on Mav 20,
$5 50 on May 24, 820 on May 26, and $20 on
June 3."
"Was anvbody else present but yourself
and Mr. S'tayton when he gave you this
money?"
"Yes, sometimes."
"Who beside Mr. Stayton was on this
finance' committee?"
"Well, Mr. S. S. D. Thompson may have
been one."
"Did you never see any others there?"
"Yes, sir: it was at the office of Mr. Stay
ton, on Fourth avenue, and sometimes I saw
a Mr. Bowan, whose son is a lawyer; a Mr.
Fisher. W. J. Kountz, a Mr. Taylor and
Louis Koemer, beside some two or three
others I do not know."
"Have you not received money from sport
ing people at times for Keeping your hauds
off their houses gambling houses I mean?"
"No, sir; I deny the charge."
"You play poker, Mr. Walkup?"
"Yes; I have played with Mr. Murphy."
Mr. Murphy replied that he was never
"skinned" by the witness.
Mr. Marshall asked witness if he had not
told that he was to get $300 in case be "oust
ed" Mr. Wyman. He said he might have
said so. Mr. Marshall said: "Butnowyou
say you were not promised that?"
"No, sir. I was not. If I said so, I did
it for a purpose."
"Then you deliberately circulated a lie
for a purpose?"
WOULD BE TAKEN CABE OF.
Mr. Marshall then asked him what he had
been promised in case he accomplished his
end.
"I was not promised any money, but was
told I would be taken care of."
Mr. Marshall You never struck John
Newell for cash?
Walkup No, sir.
Ex-County Detective William C. Lang
hurst was nextsworn, and denied that he
had been promised money or office for secur
ing Wvman's election.
William Baeder, William Braun and
Harry Miller were called as witnesses by
the prosecution, but did not answer and
could not be found on the premises,. and
this so disgusted Colonel Echols that he
felt like making a speech, and after a brief
conference with Walkup, said: "X5r
Honor, I wish to make a statement right
here. I am not interested in this case, per
sonally and only took it alter I had been
told that the case was ready for
prosecution. I was urged to take It
to hurry up the matter of Mr. Wyman's
guilt or innocence, and which could be
done more speedily by a criminal suit than
by the civil one that promises to be long
drawn out. I see as well as you all do that
there is nothing in this charge, I only con
sented to go into it lor a cash consideration
tendered me by a number of Allegheny
citizens. There is no use in going farther
with it, and I hereby wash my hands of the
entire matter."
The Alderman announced that the suit
was dismissed. Mayor Wyman was ten
dered a reception by his friends, and some
clapping of hands and cheering were heard.
J. S. Ferguson, Esq., furnished the
dessert by announcing that the civil suit
was on the eve of being withdrawn.
,-,n
21AULU XU UJSA Wfllljiiv.ia.
The matter was considerably discussed
subsequently among lawyers, and the gen
eral opinion was the same as that expressed
by J. D. Watson, viz.: That prosecutions
for violation of Article 7 of the State Con
stitution will never be effective so long as
the person bribed is subject to the same pun
ishment as the briber, as they cannot be
made out It was suggested that :f the per
son bribed were given immunity and given
half of a considerable fine imposed on the
briber, elections would either become pure
in a short time or there would be a rattling
of dry bones that would scare active poli
ticians out ol the field.
Commissioner Shafer, when asked what
Scott Ferguson meant by stating that the
civil contest would soon peter out, elevated"
his eyebrows and there was a merely per
ceptible shrug of his shoulders as he replied
that he had nothing to say.
CONSTABLES IN SCHOOL.
They Take Possession to Prevent Ibo Build
ing; Being Torn Down.
The vicinity of the Duquesne, First
ward, school, still had an hostile appearance
yesterday, although no actual violence took
place. The School Board evidently had
none too much faith in the protestations of
the contractors in charge, for yesterday
morning thev again called at Alderman
Donaboe's office and requested the attend
ance of a squjd of constables to prevent any
further work ot destruction on the school
property.
The Alderman supplied the constables
who went down at once and took possession,
remaining on the ground all day, though no
attempt to resume work on the disputed
wall was made.
A BETTER BRANCH OFFICE.
Lock Boxes to be Provided for the Mall
Service In the East Esd.
Stephen Collins, Superintendent of Mails,
went to Philadelphia last evening to see the
Yale Lock Company about putting in new
boxes in the East End Postoffice. Mr. Col
lins stated that- the office would soon be
moved from its present location to the East
End bank building. Lock boxes will be
put in, and an office is to be fitted up in nice
style. There are about 35,000 people in that
part of the city receiving mail from the
branch office, and they deserve to have
better accommodations.
Postmaster McKean is determined to im
prove the service wherever it can be done.
A Word Abont Diamonds.
For many years E. P. Roberts & Sons
have done the largest diamond business in
the city, and their trade in this branch
seems to be constantly increasing. They
buy all their goods direct from the im
porter, and handle only the finest quality of
gems. One advantage they have over the
other dealers is, they mount all their gems
in their own factory on the premises. This,
with the fact that they buy their goods in
large quantities at close prices, enables them
to offer diamonds and precious stones at
lower prices than they are generally sold.
If youknoit nothing about diamonds go
to E. P. Roberts & Sons and thev will sell
you the best possible goods for the money,
with an absolute guarantee as to quality.

inquiry into his young wife's death.
Connelly, who is employed at Moorhead,
McCleane & Co.'s mill, lived with his wife
in two rooms on the third floor of a house on
Boston street, near the Soho schoolhonse.
Shortly alter 7 yesterday morning neighbors
heard a shriek, and rushing into Connelly's
kitchen, found Mrs. Connelly, in her night
dress, lying dead on the floor, while her
husband was bending over her and implor
ing her to speak to him. Connelly stated
that the shooting was accidental.
THE HUSBAND ABBESTED.
Officer Sullivan was called, and arrested
Connellv. The Flobert rifle which fired the
fatal shot was found in the room. The bul
let had entered the woman's breast and
caused an internal hemorrhage. The neigh
bors state that Connelly and his wife, who
had been married about seven months, ap
peared to be on very affectionate terms, and
bad never been heard to quarrel.
Mrs. Connelly, whose maiden name was
Maggie Daly, her parents living at Sharps
burg, was 23 years. Connelly married Mag
gie to obtain his freedom from jail.
Connelly, after being placed in the Four
teenth ward station, made the follow
ing statement for publication.
CONNELLY'S STOBT.
I have been at homo for the past two weeks
suffering with a burned leg. last evening I
told Steve Grlifen. the son of my landlord, that
cats were killing his pigeons, and if he would
loan hit rifle to me I would try and shoot the
cats. He brought the rifle to rny rooms last
night and one cartridge. The rifle Is a small
one, known as the "Ulobert." The cartridge
was in the gun at the time, and I left it on the
dming room table over night. In the morning
I started ontin the back yard with tne rifle,
and after a time returned to the house, and In
passing my wife who was preparing kindling
in the yard for the breakfast fire, 1 playfully
struckherwith the butt of the gun on the thigh.
She reached upand caught the barrel of the gun
and pulled It toward her. The gun at the time
was at half cock, and I had no thought it would
go off in that condition. The bullet entered
her right breast. I Helped her into our rooms
and placed her in a, rocking chair and then
called Mrs. Gnffen, who resides in the same
house with me. When Mrs. Griff en came we
placed my wife on the floor with a pillow under
her head, and she only lived a few minutes
after she received the wound. She was unable
to speak, only in a mumbling way.
A HAPPY COUPLE.
'When asked it he had had any dispute
with his wile, Conuelly said: "She was as
good a wife to me as any man would want,
and from the day wo were married, seven
months ago, there his not been a cross word
passed between us."
Coroner McDowell impaneled a jury and
viewed the body and then adjourned the in
quest until to-morrow morning. Dr. J. Guy
McCandless made a post mortem examina
tion and then the remains were removed to
the home of the dead woman's parents at
Sharpsburg'.

their pockets, as it were, amazed at onr unprecedented success. Oar ambition is
not satisfied since we have surpassed all competitors we mean to distance all;
