A. M. Byers' Belief That the Mo Kinlev Bill Will FaiL, MOEE TALK ABOUT A DARK HORSE The political situation in the Twenty third Congressional district is assuming a warlike aspect, judging from tho character of opinions set forth yesterday by leading Bepublicans. There is an evident lack of harmony among the prominent iron men of Allegheny, and in interviews with well known people last night, the important fact was divulged that the successful Repub lican might be a dark horse, one whose name is a yet unknown, but who will serve as a potent factor in uniting the dissenting elements. "Of the two candidates who are now be fore the people," said, Mr. A. J. Byers to a Dispatch reporter, "I think there are no just grounds whatever of comparison between Colonel Stone and Mr. Shiras. The Colonel is by far the better man. He is self-made, was TJnited States District Attorney, made a reputation at the bar, and was in the army, whereas Shiras distinguished himself by a Tery unfortunate dash when he tried to Inmeach Judge "White. This is one of the most important districts in Pennsylvania. Bhiras is too young, and lacks experience to properly represent it. It requires a man who possesses an adequate knowledge of the manufacturing business. I doubt whether Mr. Shiras knows the difference between a foundry and a rolling mill. IiOOKING FOB JL TIGHT. "Now, since they say the Senate will alter, amend, cut and tear the McKinley bill so the lower House won't know it, they may havevto fight it all over again, and we must have a representative in Washington who will cuard onr interests. The tariff requires constant watching, hence the im portance of having a man there who is equal to the occasion. I am for a man who has had experience in the iron manufacturing business, and, since there is none in the field jnst now who is thoroughly posted, I shall Tote for Stone in preierence to Shiras, be cause I believe the Colonel knows more about the iron industry than Shiras." Mr. James H. Lindsay was asked for his views on the matter. He is hinted at as one of the Congressional possibilities, and may loom up at the coming primaries as a dark horse. "I am not in a position to state decidedly whom I will support in the race," he said in a non-committal manner, "but it seems to me common sense would dictate the selection of Colonel Stone. He is older than Shiras and more experienced. He is better capable of coping with the questions affect ing the manufacturing interests of the dis trict Ton know there isn't a ton of tin plate turned out in this county and that in dustry should be loitered, in order to give more employment to our people. "WOTJXD BENEFIT IBON MEN. "The manufacture of tin plate will also greatly benefit the iron trade, as iron enters ,- .largely into its composition. I will vote for " 'Stone," because I think he will take care of that industry." Mr. Charles C. Scaiie, another prominent iron man, said: "There is considerable wind rustling to the effect that Mr. Shiras is not capable of filling the position of Representa tive from this district, bnt the breeze will soon simmer down. Shiras is my man. I expect he will have strong opposition, but, with the support of new friends added to that which he had when he ran against Bayne, I think he will win." Several other iron men were seen who for merly figured in Bayne's canvass and came over "to 'Shiras when the Colonel dropped out They express displeasure at the pros pect of a "disagreement in the Republican ranks, and are evidently in favor of nomin ating some candidate who will satisfy all, and thus avoid a factional fight in the party. KSrOTTS XO DA.EK HOUSE. "The Twenty-third district of Pennsyl vania calls for a Representative who is thoroughly and accurately posted on the manufacturing industries of this section of the State." said Mr. W. D. Porter, "and of the candidates who have been men tioned for the place, I think Colonel Stone is best fitted to be honored with the nomination. I have no knowledge of any other man being spoken of as a prob able dark horse." "I fail to see the point in Mr. Byers' op position to me,"said Mr. Shiras, last merit "He lavs great stress on the question of age. but I think that is far-fetched. I have stated my views on the tariff question, and think I stand on the right plat'orm. My list of iriends includes well known manu facturers, and I have the indorsement of a large number of thepeople at large." hontooth mar elated. They Are Terr Well Pleased nt tbe Retold of Late Primaries. Headquarters to be devoted to the guberna torial candidacy ot Major E. A. Montooth were opened yesterday in tbe large room on the second floor over the Baltimore and Ohio office, corner of Fifth avenne and Wood street. The interior is gay with flags, tricolored streamers and portraits, and the windows are decorated. Walter S. Ashworth is in charge. A meeting of tbe citizens' genera committee, organized in Major Montootb's interest, Is called to be held at 8 o'clock this afternoon, at the new headquarters. Captain Batchelor requests a fall attendance. The Montootb workers are elated. Tbeyhave received word that Anderson, Taylor and Thompson, of Washington county, are for 11 on tooth, in creasing his strength to S3. Fayette and Somerset are expected to add 5 next Saturday. ELPHUJSTONE FOB LUTDSAY. The Latest Bicbmond In the Field Backed by Another. James H. Lindsay, the senior member of the Iron firm of Lindsay i McUntcheon, and Pres ident of the Select Council of Allegheny, a res ident of the Fifth ward of Allegheny, was last night said to be a candidate for tbe Congres sional nomination. Mr. Lindsay himself has not yet declared his intention. Attorney George Elphinstone, himself con sidered to be a possibility, last evening declared that be was for Mr. Lindsay. Wnltlnc to Hear From Farter. Chairman W. D. Porter, of the Republican County Committee, has expressed his opinion that the second primaries in the Twenty-third Congressional district should not be held until September. It is still undecided whether Attorney Porter or Jndge Gripp will be tbe Chairman of the new committee. Tbe Third ward Magistrate is waiting anxiously for Mr. Porter's decision whether he will stand lor tbe Congressional nomination or run again for the Chairmanship. Postponed lie Campaign Woik. The County Democracy, at a short meeting last night, turned over to its officers all the ar rangements for the annual nicnic, which is held during August. All campaign work was voted postponed until after the Bute Conven tion. Didn't Find tbe Money!" Charles Coleman, colored roustabout on the steamer Andes, was arrested yesterday by De tective Robinson on a charge of stealing $25 from a bunk-mate. Two dice which belonged to the bunk-mate were fonnd in Coleman's pocket, bnt the money was not there. Borne Doubt .About It. Chief J. O.

Census Report of tbe Thirty-Sixth Ward Complete An Increase of 30 Per Cent In Ten Years-Jnst 3,606 Residents of the Ward. . t The first ward to report its census figure to Supervisor Oliver is the Thirty-sixth, Temperanceville. There are but three pre cincts in the ward. The total population is reported to bo 3,606. Tho census of 1880 gave Temperaneeville 2,768 inhabitants. Tne increase in ten years is a very little more than 30 per cent The figures here are something of a disappointment, but that ward has not grown anything like as rapidly asmost of tbe wards of Pittsburg; The enumerators report that they found many vacant housss in the Thirty-sixth ward. , Seventeen enumerators finished their work and turned in their books yesterday. Many of them declare that, were tbe work to be done again, they would not accept the position of enumerator for less than $10 a day. Those who hare finished are exceedingly glad, and are now wondering when they will receive their One of the inspectors of the Fifth ward, a young man named McKelvey, who lives at No. 62 Wylie avenue, had almost completed his precinct last Saturday evening when a Are broke out in bis house and his papers were all burned. The work must be done over, but Mc Kelvey is probably discouraged, as he has not yet appeared at the Supervisor's for a nsw set of Wants. He will think there is something In unlucky numbers, as bis number on the list of enumerators was 13. He has tbe second pre cinct of the Fifth ward, which is tbe thirteenth precinct in the city, beginning with the first precinct of the First ward. The precinct Is a bard one to work, containing many Italians and other unlearned people, and there is no extra pay for such a contingency. TTTTR TITLE IS CLEAR. Jndge Ewlng Decided Mrs. Schenley Hal a Fee Simple in Her Property. According to a decision delivered by Judge Ewlng in 1SS0, which afterward was confirmed by tbe Supreme Court, Mrs. Schenley has a fee simple title to her property in Pittsburg; that is she owds it absolutely and can sell It at her pleasure. Judge Ewlng decided that the neglect of the trustees to turn over the prop erty daring the lifetime of Mrs. Croghan, tho mother of Mrs. Schenley, did not In any way prejudice Mrs. Schenlev's title. Tbe Judge also ordered Trustee O'Hara, who now raises the point, to sign a deed turning over to Mrs. Schenley any right he might have in tbe prop erty as trustee. Mr. Thomas D. Carnahan, one of tho attor neys, said yesterday that Mr. O'Hara's claim came in the nature of sour grapes. The bill Introduced In tbe House by Con gressman Oates, ot Alabama, lorbidding aliens to hold lands in the United States, is about tbe same in principle as the one brought before the Pennsylvania Legislature bv Represent, tive Robinson, of Allegheny. The latter bill never became a law. Mr. Oates in his speech referred to the Schenley estate in Pittsburg. An effort was made yesterday to get an expression from some ot tbe people interested in the estate as to what they thought of the bill, but they declined to talk. Mr. Torrens, the agent, smiled pleasantly, and said he hadn't anything to say. Mr. ft. D. Carnahan, tbe attorney for the estate, has been ill for more than a month, and his son stated that be was not concerned in the matter. THAT SAME OLD SXOEY. Tbe Water Snpply of the Sonthilde Hilltop Resident Again Cat Off. About 7 o'clock last night the hilltop resi dents on the Soutbslde found that no water wonld run from their hydrants. No one could find what was the matter, and another famine was thought to be at band. At tbe hilltop pumping station it was fonnd that the pumps were not working, and the engineer sala that be did not know what was the matter. At the river pnmping station it was fonnd that the large pump had played out Tbe en gineer was working with mignt and mam to keep the pressure up with one of the small pumps, but could not, and soon the water in tbe bill reservoir was pumped out and the hill top engines bad to stop for lack of water. Late last night a large force of men were work ing on the large pump, and hope to get it in shape by this morning. SMOTHERED IN REC0ED3, Transcribers In tbe County Recorder1 OMcs Six Weeks Behind. The condition of backwardness of work In the County Recorder's office at present is a strong argument in favor of the curtailment crusade begun by tbe Bar Association. The SO tran scribers are six weeks behind with their work, and the accumulation of deeds and mortgages awaiting transcribing is becoming mountain ous. Allowing fire a day to a transcriber, there must be near 6,000 awaiting the writers. It is also a testimony to the enormous amount of business transacted ot late in real estate. The like was never known in this county before, and it shows no diminution as yet The man who takes tbe censns record of mortgages, and what they represent, has a task before him large enongh to appal a dozen men.

JL Wood, who r , . . , Welcomed the Tis- ed ln 18MS Hon. entirely within the comprehension of the ordinary layman. Articles were read yesterday, and others are coming, touching on new systems that will not entirely revolutionize the methods of the past, but still be an improvement on the age when medical systems were sadly ut of joint The result of these readings nnd discussions will be the adoption of new methods that will prove of lasting benefit to the human race, and mayhap add another star to the constellation of American innova tions, which have led the Tan in the realm of useful discoveries.

AS IKTKEESTnrO PAPEB. Dr. Wagoner, of Johnstown, followed with a paper of absorbing interest in reference to the memorable flood. Dr. Edward Jackson, of Philadelphia, gave a short account of tbe recent meeting at Nashville, Tenn., of the American Medical Association, which he said had been even more successful than nsnal. Dr. W. B. Atkinson reported the adding of the Somerset County, Pa., Society to the member ship list of the State Society. The President appointed Drs. C. N. Early, Q. W. Allen and C. Lange as a committee on unfinished business. A letter of regret from Dr. J. L. Stewart was received stating his inability to attend on account of having left for Europe. Tbe following resolutions were adopted, on the original motion of Dr. Edward Jackson, of Philadelphia: That hereafter every motion directing an ex penditure of funds shall appropriate a definite amount, ana that all propositions not accom panied by such an estimate shall be referred to the Publication Committee. That tbe Committee on Publication be released from the necessity of publishing a list of the regis tered physicians and graduates of each county society. v That tbe same action be taken with regard to the publication of the programme of each meet ing.

The Committee on Medical Examination met at the Schlosser to discuss the introduction into tbe Legislature of a bill calling for a committee to exercise supervision over the issuing of licenses to graduates of medical colleges, THE AFTEBNOON SESSION.

Dr. Mays argued that it was neither contagious or infectious. A discussion followed this paper, which was taken part in by Dr. J. C. Wilson, Dr. Awl and others, who took odds with Dr. Mays, and thought that the disease was, to a certain ex tent, contagious, and could be transmitted from one to another. Dr. J. M. Batten, ol Pittsburg, read the next paper, which was his experience in 340 techni cal cases. Dr. WJlllam rj. Bane, of Pittsburg, and Dr. J.

PRESIDENT lITJBDOCn'S ADDBESS. At last night's meeting a large number were present bnt the spacious hall was not filled. On the stage were seated past Presidents Drs. T. Green, A. M. Pollock and Mowry. Dr. J. B. Murdoch, president of the society and speaker of tbe evening, was introduced and was well received. Dr. Murdoch opened by Btatlng that last year at the meeting ot the society, details of tbe Johnstown disaster were coming in, resolutions were being adopted that emptied the treasury and the society adjourned Its meeting. The history of medical societies, he said, has no brighter page than tbe extension of help and sympathy to suffering brethren. Continuing be said that every year advances of the medical profession were made and a yearly pilgrimage was made Remarks as to the general character and origin of medicine with its dark past and ancient his tory were made and tbe necessity of adding study and training to its natural powers were added to. The danger of utilizing quacks and tbe value of the services of real and regular physicians was explained, followed by an ex planation of the valuable services to medical science of Harvey, Parry, Hunter, McDowell, Portland, James and others. Tbe speaker mentioned the effect of legisla tion regarding the profession, asserting that it was a failure, and recommending the abroga tion of restrictive laws, holding that the sooner the medical profession is rid of the legislative Ideas governing it the better The profession, however, should keep its skirts clear ot any ir regular practice of any description. The bear ers of the speaker were given advice bidden beneath the cloak of mirth in numerous anec dotes related by Dr. Murdoch. His address was tbe only one of the evening, and was preceded and followed by selections by 10SGEST GIBDER EYER HADE. One 105 Feet Long Turned Out by the Key stone Bridge Company A Bis Job to Transport It Hovr tbn Uoadu Propose to Carry Ir. The Keystone Bridge Company has just completed a girder tor the new City Hall of San ITrancisco, which if the largest ever made in the United States, to far as tbe members of the .firm know. It is 3.05 feet long and weighs 70 tons. In di ameter it is 5 feet by 3. A con tract for two girders was given to the company last November, and they bave been working on It ever since. The materials for the second one are now being prepared. The girders are in tended for the ground floor of the building. Tbe great problem now is to transport it to the Pacific coast Tbe Chicago and North western and Union Pacific roads bave under taken the job, Tbe long monster yesterday was lying on three of the largest freight cars obtainable on tbo Allegheny tracks. Mr. E. H. Utley, tbe freight agent for Carnegie, Phlpps A Co., stated that It was necessary to pnt in ad ditional trusses to distribute the weight evenly on the three cars. As the cars are constrncted tbe weight of the girder fell on the centers, and the cars would hardly stand the strain. Mr. Utley thinks that the way it is placed in tho cars will allow it to go around the curves all right The nsnal plan for shlpplugglrders is to carry them In pieces and have the plates Tlv ited together at the place of destination. The company was afraid tbey didn't have tbe facil ities on the Pacific coast to do tbe riveting. The second one will not be bnilt until they can see whether or not It can be transported. The average car in the west will carry about 15 tons, and Mr. Utley says shonld anything happen to either or the three cars the road would have some trouble to replace them. T0HS0EIAL TOTOISTS OH THETR TBAVELS. Knighu of the Razor Joining the Begin to tbe Seaside. "The great wave ot humanity that Is rolling toward the seaside resorts are taking with it not only our customers, but the barbers them selves," said Mr. Will, one of Pittsburg's pop ular tonsorial artists, last night while hishands traveled deftly through the barbigerous ap pendages of a victim in tho chair. "If you notice recent issues of Tux Dispatch you will see dozens of advertisements for barbers. Many of the 'profesh' are preparing to leave for Atlantic City and other places, where thou sands of mortals cursed with beards will require their services, and consequently there are va cancies at home." Mr. W. J. Schmidt of Allegheny, spoke as follows on the subject while chasing a razor through a rich crop of stubbles: "This Is the busiest time of the year for the barber trade, and at present there is considerable demand for good men wbo can handle the tools, but tbey are not all to be had, because our experts are now making a bee line for the ocean resorts, where custom is big and business booming. However, we won't all go; some of us will stay in tbe city, pent with that sweet contentedness of EDirit which is born of love for home. Nextr CCharles Nnnge, of Federal street Allegheny, said: "Yes, it's the seaside resorts that catch the journeymen barbers In tbe summer. They go there as much for the fun of it as for tbe mouey that's In it Tbey 'most always come home broke at tbe end of the season," HE HAD A HEW HAT. Why si Young Man far Awhile Waeahe Obseryed of All Observers. An Instance of the irony of fate in the minor matter of life was noted on Smithfield street yesterday afternoon. The time was 6:30, and the busy thoroughfare was at its bnslest A young man, well dressed and good-looking, was passing briskly along, opposite City Hall. That he was satisfied with his appearance was evident from the approving side-long glances he ever and anon cast' at his own reflection in the big plate glass windows of the stores. In bis hand he carried a hat wrapped in paper. On his head was an obviously new hat, light in hue and jaunty in shape. The that suited the young man and he knew It A bevy of eiggling schoolgirls looked at the young man and bis hat and giggled louder, and remarked, "Ho has a newtbat." A newsboy said the same thing. Ho overheard a sedate old lady remark to ber companion, "That yonng man has just bought a hat." Dozens ot passers-by rung the changes on tbe speech to tbe mystification of the young man. When he reached borne he no donbt dlscovereed the reason.

Amalgamated Association Worrying Over ' the Ear Mill Scale. STONECUTTERS MAI 8TEIO AGAIH. The only plant at which sheet tin is being manufactured in North dr South America was put in operation this week at the TJnited States Iron and Tin Plate Works- at Demmler station. Third ward, McKeesport The fact that this company has for the last 10 or 12 years been paying nearly $30,000, 000 annually to foreign countries, and that not a sheet of tin was being made on this continent, urged the firm, particularly Mr. Cronemeyer, one of the members, to make strenuous efforts toward securing a protec tive tariff sufficiently high to enable them to compete with the cheap labor of foreign manufacturing cities; their labors have been crowned with partial success, as the clause in the McKinley bill protecting tin plate has passed tbe House and bids fair to pass the Senate. If such" action be taken many mills for manufacturing .the product will likely spring into existence. In anticipation of the measure becoming a law, the firm has placed the plant in ope ration, and it is understood that even if tin plate Is not protected, they will endeavor to continue the manufacture. They have put In a much improved process by Ieyshon A Bona, of Tipton. England. The gentleman and one of his sons have been in McKeesport for the past couplo of weeks, personally superintending tbe introduction ot the plant which has been S laced In successful operation. Xhe process ere to fore used consisted of five operations, two dlpplctrs in grease and three in tin. By "the new process the same results are obtained in one operation, by inserting a sheet in a solution of tic and palm oil.

OH THE BAB MUX SCALE The Amalgamated Association Btrnck m Snail's Gait Yesterday. Yesterday's session of the Amalgamated As sociation was entirely consumed in a discus sion of tbe bar mill scale, and it was not com pleted when the convention adlonrned. The base of the scale, 70 cents per ton for rolling and heating on a 2-cent card, was settled, but tbe qualifying clauses on extras proved a snag for the convention. The members seemed to want to display their oratorical aDility yester day, and more talk than work was done. Presi dent Weibe said there were a good many changes proposed in the scale, but he refused to say if any material advances were included In the changes. As stated a few days ago in The Dispatch, the Eastern manufacturers will be presented with a scale this year providing for an advance in wages over what the "men there are now paid. The scale proposes an increase of 60 cents per ton in all departments. It is not thought there will be any difficulty experi enced with the Eastern manufacturers. 8I05EGT7TTEBS DT TE0TOLE. The Frospeots Are for n Renewal of Their Recent Difficulty. The prospects are for a renewal of the stone cutters' strike. Yesterday was the first payday for the men since the settlement of tho diffi culty, and it is said three of Alex Boggs & Don's men 'William Rae, James Shea and John C. Davidson did qot receive the advance of 4 cents per hour. The men went to the firm, and Rae and Shea got the advance, bnt David son was told he would not receive the extra pay. The matter was reported to the Stone Cut ters' Association of Allegheny county last night and a vote was taken, ordering Beggs' men to strike to-day, in case the difficulty is not settled to the satisfaction of Mr. Davidson. There are 180 men employed by Alex Beggs & Bon and the firm has a number of large build ings on hands, the Bindley block on Seventh avenue among others, so that it ts not likely the men will be allowed to strike. HE. YEAGEE DEHIEfl IT. Rumor of the Sale of the Colombia Iron and Steel Company. A report comes from Unlontown that the Columbia Iron and Steel Company, whose offices are in this city, has been sold to an En glish syndicate for S1,S50,000. Ibis, it is said, is an outrageously high price, and on this ac count the report can hardly ne credited with any foundation. It is a fact nevertheless, that tbe English capital which bought the jEtn and Standard mills in Wheeling has been float ing about this section waiting for a chance to light on another mill, for tbe past month or so. Mr. O. Yeager, president of the company, was seen at his office on First avenne yesterday, and when asked abont the report said: "It is a lie. Tbe works bave not been sold, and I would be only too glad if somebody would come along and offer us that sum for the plant" BEOBQAmziKO THE C0MPAHY.

Mr. Bnak Say It I Improved Methods That Will Help tbe Granger. .Dncle Jerry Rusk, Secretary of Agrleilture, passed through the city last evening with bis family. He was taking them to Wisconsin to spend the summer. Speaking of the Farmers' Alliance, he said: "There is some restlessness among tbe farmers, and they have some griev ances. After the war, when crops and prices were good, they made money and were happy. At that time the Industries were being organized and legislation for their benefit was passed. The farmer then was so satisfied with himself that he paid no attention to what was going. Of late the crops bavo not been so good, and it Is a fact that the farmers haven't been making much money. They saw that tbe industries of tbe country had been helped by legislation, and they now demand relief and a similar remedy. These organizations of fasfiers will do no harm. When they come to understand the situation I think they will see that it is not legislation that wilt help them so much as tho adoption of improved farming methods. Their success in the future will depend to a large extent on their own activity. "The Farmers' Alliance is the strongest in the South, and no doubt it will have somo effect on the Democratic party. Most of the political leaders in the South are agriculturists, and they will look out lor a remedy. The South is developiqg rapidly with the amount of capital pnt Into the country. In the West not as many acres of the publio lands have been taken up this year as in former years on ac count of tbe fallnre of cron and the general depression in farming. Bnt this won't last for ever, and now that the granger Is stirred up ha will look out for his own interests." AEBSSXED VC dSCUCSAXL A Former Pittsburg Railroader Said to be Short la His Accounts. B.

The Mad Leap of a Maniac "Who Es caped From Mercy Hospital. 8TEAIGHT DOWN A HUSDEED FEET. Eetened by a Fire Captain Lowered on tha End of ft Loot; Eope. AWEDL STRUGGLE WITH THE LUNATIC A maniac yesterday jumped over the high cliff above the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad, and lodged halfway down in some shrubbery. In attempting to rescue him, Captain George W. King, of No. 3 Engine Company, had a desperate struggle. About 3'o'clock yesterday afternoon an In sane inmatedf Mercy Hospital, whose name is said to be Clarke, went out for a walk with a sister. His name could not be learned cer tainly, as the authorities at the hospital re fused to give it. The Mother Superior said that the man's sister had requested the sup pression of the name, and she- was herself averse to revealing it, as he belonged to a good family and had numerous rela tives in the city. She said, however, that he had a brother in the Insane asylum, and that he was undoubtedly crazy. "He ought not to be here," she said. "He ought to be in Dixmont" She said that he was in a quiet mood yesterday afternoon, and hit sister begged so hard to allow him to take a walk with her that the Mother Superior finally consented. OVEB THE PBEC1PICE. It appears from what the sister said after her return that she told her brother, dnring the walk, that the family intended to have him sent to Dixmont. This aroused his worst phase. He broke away, and, running a few feet along Bluff street, jumped over the fence and disappeared down the preci pice. At that point, about half way between Stevenson and Magee streets, the cliff is a Perpendicular line of rocks for 100 feet down. Then there Is a sloping ledge, where soil hat pthered and given root to grass and shrub bery. This ledge Is not over 20 feet and slopes at an angle of about 35 from tbe horizontal. Below it there Is another sheer fall for 100 feet to the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio Ball road, Jnst east of the tunnel. The screaming sister, when she ran to the edge of the cliff and looked over, and the peo ple above and below, who either heard ber or saw the leap, discovered the young man lodged on tbe grassy slope, clinging to some bushes, lying prostrate on the sward. Ha had jumped fully 100 feet He might be dead. Noon above or below could tell. There was no path leading to the place where he lay, and no one knew bow to rescue him. Thoso above thought that along ladder, such as firemen use to reach tbe top of a high building, might reach him. Word was telephoned to City Hall, and Chief Evans ordered truck A, located in Engine house No. 8, on Seventb avenue, to go at ones to tbe north end of the Tenth street bridge. ONLY ONE 'WAT TO BEACH HIM. Captain King turned out the ladder truck, and in a few minutes they were on Second avenue, below where the maniac lay stunned on tbe ledge. It was seen at once tbat tbe lad der, at its longest extension, would not reach the man. Chief Evans, Bnilding Inspector Hoffman, Captain King and three truckmen ascended to the top of the Fort Pitt Incline, taking with them one of the trnck ropes. They went to the point where tbe man had jumped over. Captain King volnnteered to go down.' The rope was fastened abont his waist and he was lowered over the precipice. As ho neared the place where the maniac lay the fellow aroused and cried out, "Keep away from me or , I will kill you." Cantain Kin? made a lumn at thn man 'mi Clatched him by the throat Xhe fellow was not strong, being a rather slender man, but he fought desperately. King loosened tbe noose around bis waist and threw it over his prisoner, thus inclosing them both in the same tight em brace. Then he called to be drawn up. As tbey ascended up tbe face of the jagged rocky cliff a terrible struggle proceeded. The crazy man tried to reach King's throat but the Captain held him off with his strong arms. It seemed like an hour to the Captain until they were hauled to the top, and the maniao was seized by many strong hands. The crowds collected below and above cheered lustily when the rescue was complete. Tbe esoaped inmate was taken back to tbe cell in tbe hospital. One of Bis ankles had been severely wrenched by the fall and had swollen greatly, but otherwise be seemed to be uninjured. The marvel of all who saw the act is tbat ho was not killed by bis mad leap over the rocks. A Traveling Man's Experience. F. S. Verbeck, who represents the type foundry ot Messrs.

The semi-annual conference of the western end of the Pittsburg diocese was held yester day in the episcopal residence. The matter of granting absolution to parents sending their children to public schools came up for discus sion. The subject took np the time of the priests most of the afternoon, and a free inter change of views was freely given. Papers were read on the subject but nothing could be done. At the Council of Baltimore It was de cided not to grant absolution in these cases, but a great many pastors bave been governed by circumstances In this matter. The matter of having an examining board appointed for tne purpose ot examining all nuns who become teachers in parochial schools, cams up, and was discussed In an Informal way. After the conference the permanent organi zation of the Priest's Mutnal Aid Society was formed. The following named members of the clergy were elected officers of the association! President Bt. Rev.
