DUEL IH MIDSTREMI
A Fierce Combat "Waged Between
Boatmen on the Placid Bosom of
the Monongahela Eiver.
SKIFF AKD OUTKIGfGER IN BATTLE.
The HeaTier Craft Upset bj the Timorous
Onslaught of Its Crew Upon
the Enemj.
AN ALARM BR1XGSBOATSTO THE BESCUB
- Ihe Half-Drcwnta Combatant Eefases to Dlrnlre His
Beaton for Enfijlng in the Fray.
A duel on the riverl That was the strange
scene -witnessed by scores of people yester
day afternoon. The perilous drama was en
acted on the placid bosom of the Mononga
hela, not far from the Panhandle bridge.
A young man was lazily sculling down
stream, aud had advanced his stiff near the
bridge, when a long outrigger shot out from
the south side bank and made as though to
run him down. The propeller of the second
boat was a tall, muscular person, dressed in
stylish rowing costume. As he pulled into
midstream he gave utterance to a fierce yell,
and shouted something which could not
be distinguished on shore. Meanwhile the
young fellow in the skiff had swung around,
and was making straight for the newcomer.
It became plain to the onlookers that the
men meant mischief. He in the outrigger
never slackened speed, but bore down upon
the skiff, glancing over his shonldernow and
again to note the distance between himself
and his apparent enemy. The outrigger
would have pierced the smaller craft but
that the bow of the latter was turned just in
time.
A VICIOUS ATTACK.
. As I', was the outrigger went skimming
past, and tbe man in the skiff, rising to his
feet, aimed a blow with one of the sculls at
the head of the baffled antagonist. The blow
fell short, however, and the scull meeting no
resistance flew from its wielder's hand into
the river. An attempt was made to recover
it, but in vain. "With a wild whoop the
outrigger man acain charged upon the now
almost helpless skiff. As he did so, some of
the people on the bank recognized him as
one George Hiller. a clerk in one of the
Carson street drygoods stores. Miller's op
ponent put out his remaining scull, and
pushed the bow of the advancing boat from
its course, so that the skill' was but slightly
grazed in the collision.
Again Miller got his outrigger round and
once more urged it forward to the fight.
Then the other man saw that the time for
action had come. He rose to his feet and
awaited the attack with poised scull. "When
Miller's sharp bows had got within two leet
of his boat he drove his oar down upon
them with might and main. But the stroke
proved a luckless one. Miller's prow was
driven under water, but speedily righted
itself, while the skiff keeled over and
dumped its occupant into tbe Monongahela.
TOOK A MEAS ADVANTAGE.
The young man clung to his upturned
skiff and tried to get her straight, batlliller
took a mean advantage of the catastrophe to
belabor his unfortunate adversary across
the shoulders with his sculls. Thns engaged
the strange party drifted down the current,
followed by tbe curious eyes of scores of
people.
Finally, Miller seemed to have glutted
his vengeance, for he ceased beating the
overturned skiffman, and placing his sculls
once more in the rowlocks, began to pull up
stream in a direction slanting toward the
spot from whence he had started. Having
reached shore he leaped ont, handed over
his boat to a friend and hastily donning an
overcoat made good his escape.
The upset skiff was in the meantime drift
ing swiitly with its living burden, but the
alarm had been carried down stream and two
boats were ready to stop its lurther progress.
This was accomplished with some difficulty,
and the dripping sculler rescued. Messrs.
J. Elliott, Thomas Brown .and W. Bice
were the rescuers. They tried to
induce the young man to tell
his name, or the canse of the
extraordinary fight on the river; but all
their efforts were unavailing. He ob
stinately refused to give any information,
and scarcely thanked the men that had
saved him from a damp voyage to Cincin
nati. "When his clothes had been dried in
the Pittsburg and Cincinnati wharf boat he
hastened to Smithfield street and took a car
for tbe Southside.
The police have been notified of the event,
and Miller's arrest is looked for.

A VIEW OF THE ROMANTIC BEAUTIES OF
SCHENLEY PARK.
Mayor Courier's Little Mlshnp A Tramp
That Was Foil .of Incident How tho
Work of Improvement is Prosrreslns
A Member of tbe Party Lost la tbe
Wilds.
Chief Bigelow, of the Department of Pub
lic "Works, yesterday gave nearly a score of
newspaper men a carriage drive and a ro
mantic tramp through the wilds of Bchenley
Park. Mayor Gourley and T. Holmes Mil
ler accompanied the party irom City Hall,
and James McKnight, who has charge of
tho workmen engaged in the park, joined the
tourists at tbe park. Tbe party occupied five
carriages and left City Hall at 3 o'clock.
The entrance to tho park was made by way of
Boquet street, down tbe valley across Four
Mile Run, past tbe ruins of the comatose Squir
rel Hill Railway, and by a long, winding road
to the summit of tho highest hill in tbe park.
From this point the party enjoyed the grand
viow which may bo had in everv direction. In
one direction tho spectatorbeboldsHerronHill
reservoir, and to its right Bloomfield,
with the big stono tower of the Alle
gheny Ccmeiery in the distance. Toward
the cast the spires of the East End, farther to
the right the rolling bills up the Monongahela,
and to tbe south tbe green heights across the
river, present a beautiful panorama. A cooling
breeze blowing over tbe hills, waving the tree
tops and the tall rye, fanned tbe brows of the
lookers and increased their appreciation of the
scene's glories.
A KOSIAKTIC GLADE.
Through Scbenlcy Park, from east to west,
there is a deep valley, whose steep sides are
heavily wooded. This is Panther Hollow, and
the walk down that rough glade was the princi
pal event of the day. The carriages were left
at a deserted house which stands near the head
of the glade. Tbe members of the party were
led into an old springhouse where they drank
pure cool water bubbling np from the stones.
On tbe hillside above this bouse is a log cabin
without doors or windows. Here, Chief Bigelow
said, a romance about George Washington
would fit well. The party was grouped in front
of tbe cabin and photographed. Then they began
the descent of the cullr. AlcKnirht leading the
way. Although tbe way as romantic it was
toilsome. Tbe explorers climbed down steep
green banks, over logs, through underbrush
and over rocks and pools, here and there slip
ping on mossv stones and splashing into the
turbulent rill flowing down the bottom of the
sbadtd glade. There are numerous neat water
falls and embowered nooks which lovers like.
No one met with serlons mishap, bnt there
were narrow escapes. The Major took a header
from a slippery stone and plunged into a pool,
only his umbrella saving blin from a headlong
fall. Another unfortunate toppled off a rotten
log across the stream, and went into water
above his knees Tbe tramp was over a balf
mile long, and when the western end of the
valley was readied it was discovered that one
member of the party, an old soldier, bad been
lost somewhere. No one was sufficiently
venturesome to return for him. and it was
voted that be knew how to find bis way home.
A GOOD PEDESTRIAN.
After a climb up a long bill tho carriages
were again reached. Chief Bigelow proved
himself to be a pedestrian. He was as fresh at
the end as at tbe start, while many others were
blowing like hippopotami. The party was
driven to tbe farm bouse near the eastern
border of tbe park, where the bears, the eagle
and other curiosities were kept. A lad work
ing in tbe park wrestled with the larger bear
for tbe amusement of the visiters, and tbe car
nages then drove to Forbes avenue and re
turned to the city.
Two hundred workmen are now engaged in
making roads through tbe park, clearing up
and burning rubbish, cutting crass, etc Some
of the roads aro only temporary, to enable
working teams to reach various parts of tbe
415-acre tract. Chief Bigelow was busy during
tbe af tornoon explaining tbe details of his im
provements;" pointing out the location of the
high iron bridge which is to eros the ravine
north or the Dark and provide a driveway from
St. Pierre street, indicating tbe course of tbe
speeding track around one of the hills, and
showing where other drives and ornamental
feature would be constructed. Work is going
on rapidly. By July i the park will be in good
condition for driving.
A CASE OF CH0LEBA IK B0H0.
Prem'.nent Physicians Soy It la Not Asiatic
and Is Not Contagions.
Dr. J. A. McKibben was on Tuesday called to
No. 3 Seneca street to examine Miss G.
Griffith, a young lady who was in a state of
almost utter prostration. After two hours'
labor the doctor succeeded in reviving his
Satient. Ho reportedthe case to tbe Health
urean yesterday afternoon as one of sporadio
cholera. During a. conversation last evening
Dr. McKibben said: "Ibis is merely sporadic
cholera. It is not in tho least contacions. it
sometimes, however, is an epidemic, but no
other cases ot the kind have been reported,
and 1 think that the cholera will cease with
Miss Griffith."
Dr. C W. Dulles, editor of the Medical aud
Surgical Mecord, does not believe that this is
a case of cholera. Numbers of precisely sim
ilar cases hd been reported from all over the
United States, but in not one case did the post
mortem point to cholera as the cause of death.
If Miss Griffith bad been residing in Pittsburg,
it was quite patent that she had not cholera.
If, however, she had come hither from Asia or
Kgjrpt, she might be so affected. Several other
phrsiclans ere interviewed, and all were satis
fied tbat no case of cholera could exist in this
city just now.
Miss Griffith's parents contradict the story
that she is afflicted with a genuine case of
cholera.

TO CHANGE THE BASE.
Amalgamated Association Majce3 an
Important Move on the Scale.
THE BAR MILL SCALE ADOPTED.
Boiler Makers Heet, bnt Refuse to Gire Ont
Their Demands.
GRIST OP A DAT IN LABOR CIRCLES
The Convention of tbe Amalgamated As
sociation yesterday took up the bar mill
scale and it was completed. The reason the
scale was not settled on Tuesday was on ac
count of a discussion which arose over the
second clause in the extras, providing that
catching shall be paid five-eighths of the
price paid for rolling on a bar mill. An
other snag was struck when clause No. 6
was read. It necessitated a reconsideration
of clause 1 in order to introduce a substitute
covering the two clauses. Several amend
ments were submitted. They were dis
cussed at length, some being tabled, others
voted on and lost and a few finally adopted.
The scale was adopted at the afternoon session.-
The price for boiling, as stated in
The Dispatch yesterday, on a 2-cent card
is 70 cents per ton. The extras were all
adopted after being subjected to modifica
tions. The guide mill scale was next np, and as
it is of considerable length and a more com
plicated scale than almost any otb.er, it is
not likely to be disposed of until this after
noon or possibly to-morrow.
A XTJMBEE OF CHANGES.
The present base price on a 2-cent card is
straight ?2 90 per ton. It is said this price
will be reaffirmed, but there will be a large
number of changes in the remainder of the
scale. This scale provides for the wages to be
paid for rolling nut iron, channel Iron, 1"
iron, angles, clip or wagon strap and hame iron.
Tbe roughers and catchers are using this and
otber scales to test tbelr strength in tbe con
vention, with a view to preparing for their con
test for an advance for themselves.
President Weihe has been given the power to
appoint two delegates from each depart
ment of the the iron mills West who
shall meet during the year, with the Presi
dent, for tbe purpose of endeavoring to base
tho iron scale on somo other one or moro
products than bar iron. It has become
chronic among Ironworkers to complain of not
getting their fair share of profits aocrning
from an improved trade; that while nearly
every other iron product in tho iron schedule
has advanced, bar iron, on which the Amal
gamated Association scales are based, stands
still, hence the appointing of tho committee re
ferred to. The importance of such a commit
tee can readily be seen, as it may hare the
effect of changing tbe entire scale next year.
BUSINESS AND PLEAStTKE.
Arrangements have been made for the dele
gates to go to Homestead this evening. They
will go on a special train on tho P. & L. E.
road, leaving tho station at 6.30. They will be
received at Homestead by a local committee
and escorted to the steel works, where they
will be met by a committee of mill manage
ment. After being shown through the works
the delegates will be escorted by the Union
Cornet Band to the Opera House, where a re
past will be served. A musical and literary en
tertainment will follow.
D. Armstrong, delegate from Cleveland, and
William McNamara, of the Republic Iron
Works, will deliver humorous addresses. Tho
subiect of Mr. McNamara's address will be,
The Average Delegate." Addresses will also
be made by William Carney and J. C. Gillgel
lon. BBADD0CK WISE MTT.L TO CLOSE,
Extensive Improvements to bo Made Daring
tbe (Shot Down.
The Eraddnck Wire Company at Rankin will
close down tbelr mills abont the first week of
July, to give their employes their annual rest.
Heretofore it has lasted from three to four
weeks, but tbe repairs that had to be made did
not consume more than a few days' time. This
year important improvements are to be made
that will last several weeks. As soon as the
mill closes down, the two old heatlns furnaces
in the rod mill will be torn down, and three
larger ones on a more improved scale will go
np. Other overhauling and remodelings will
be made in this department.
Tbe compan's sale of wire rods will necessa
rily not be as large as heretofore, as more than
the increased supply of SO per cent more wire
furnished by tbe extra fnrnace will be needed
to run the nail mill. Had it been the desire of
tbe company to have kept up their large mar
ket for wire rods, with tbe addition of tbe sup
ply for both wire and nail mills, it would be
necessary to make an entire change and en
largement of tbe rod mill, as three fnrnaces
will run it to its highest capacity. The em
ployes of this mill always require a rest during
the hot spell, as they do not bavo tbe chance at
other times on account of a crowding of orders.
The wire drawers and rollers in the rod mill
need it especially.
GETTING NEW TESTIMONY.
The Jeannette Invemicntlng Committee Not
Qnlto Ready to Report.
The committeo appointed by the Central
Trades Council to investigate the Jeannette
case will meet to-morrow. Some Interesting
evidence has been collected during the week
and will be presented to the committee.
It was expected that the committee wonld be
ready to report to tbe Trades Council Saturday
evening, but this will be impossible, as new
sources of information have come into their
possession within tbe past few days that re
quire a thorough investigation.

SALTATION W0KK IN INDIA,
ARMY MISSIONARIES DELIVER LECTUJE3
IN HOMESTEAD.
Booth Tucker Tells of III Straggle In the
Hot Climate He Clnlms 200,000 Con
vertsA nnddhlst Proselyte Gives HI
Experience.
Booth Tucker, or Fakeer -Singh, the
name conferred upon him by the natives of
India, lectured at tbe Grand Opera House,
Homestead, last night at a meeting of the,
Salvation Armv, on his experiences as a
missionary in India. His remarks were
highly entertaining. He related graphically
the incidents attending his work aftiong the
inhabitants ot that country. He was ac
companied by Lord Ratna Pal a, who
for many years was a Bud
dhist priest at Bengal. He spoke in
his native tongue, and tbrongh the interpreta
tion of Booth Tucker, he related the story of
his conversion to Christianity. Previous to bis
conversion he said he taught a religion of idol
atry to the natives of Bengal. It was the cus
tom in tbe country from which he came to kill
people wbo did not concnr with the Buddhist.
niPBESSED BY COSTUME.
At tho opening of the meeting the audience
all joined in singing a song praising tho Lord to
the tune of "Rock a Bye, Baby." After which
Captain Kantanella, a native of Ceylon, told
of life there. The speaker was remarkably
well educated, and spoke very entertainingly
for a black man, who until recently conld not
speak the English laneuage. He also was a
worshiper of images. He said that tho sight
of the Salvation missionaries dressed in the
costume of hi native country inspired hlin to
adopt tbeir religion. Since joining with the
Salvationists be thought that his soul was
saved.
Somo moro music was rendered, and Fakeer
Singh, or Booth Tncker.of London, entertained
the audience with an interesting talk ot tho
customs of India, About 20 years ago he lived
In Ltfndon and possessed considerable wealth.
He had a large house and many servants. Ou
joining the army he conceived the Idea of send
ing ont missionaries to India. He was the first
to start out, and after meeting with many ad
versities ho finally succeeded in converting
somo of the priests. After these bad been se
cured it was not so hard to continue in tbe
work. It was not tho natives of India that
prevented tbe Salvation Army from doing any
work, he said, bnt tbe Americans and English
residing throughout the country. About 100,000
foreigners live in India, and were largely In
strnmental in preventing him from converting
the Hindoos.
SALTATIOKIST MISSION woek.
At the present time there are 131 missionaries
engaged all over India, advocating the canse
of the Salvationists. Tbe population ot India,
he said, was abont 250,000,000, and in addition to
the missionaries sent out from this country 175
Hindoos were doing good service among the
people. He exhibited a small bowl called
a lotor. This bowl was used by the natives be
fore eating to wash ont the mouth with water.
He sald.lt was highly amusing to see the mis
sionaries who came to that country and try to
adopt tbe manners ot tbe Hindoos. The lotor
was considered a very holy cup. and to allow it
to touch the mouth was an unpardonable of
fense. Tbe cup was held above the head and
tbe water poured into tbe mouth. Tbe inex
perienced visitor would Invariably pour the
water down inside of his shirt.
Fakeer Singh was Governor of Bengal in the
service of Her Majesty for several years. He
speaks the language of the Hindoos very flu
ently, and dresses in the garb of India, which
consists of a long flowing dress of red and
white, and a large tnrban hat of silk which sur
mounts the head.
Marshall B. Booth told of tho growth of the
army In the United States. It is estimated that
9450 people attend tbe meetings on Sunday
thronghout this country.
J0VEN1LE COTTING AFFRAY.
Boys Get Into n Fight With a 10-Yenr-Old
Polish Lad and the Latter Stabs One
With a Pocket Knlte.
Tbe neighborhood in the vicinity of
South Tenth street was considerably excited
yesterday over a juvenile cutting affray and
fight between a Polish youth of 10 years and
three other boys.
After school had let ont at noon Eddie
Nlckolos, Willie Hntcbinson and Eddie Murphy
started for home. When tbey reached the
head of South Ninth street tbey say tbat
Mike Selboskl, a Polish boy, 10 years old,
grabbed Eddie Nlckolos' hat. Tbe boys got
into a fight over the matter, and Selboski
ran into the house with the hat.
Nickolos followed, and says that
be saw Selboski have something lu his hand,
and just as he got inside Selboski stabbed him
twice with a knife over the left eye. Nickolos
ran ont of tbe house with the blood streaming
from his wounds. When he got home it was
found tbat tbe cuts were not of necessity seri
ous, bnt one gash jnst missed tbe eyeball by a
trifle.
Mrs. Nlckolos entered anIinformatlonhefora
Alderman Beinbauer against the Polish boy,
and shortly after the affair Constable Langen
bacher went down to arrest Selboski, but his
mother wonld not give him.up. At last he en
tered the bouse, and alter a vigorous search
found tbe boy biding under a bed in tbe attic
After tbe bearing Mrs. Nickslos withdrew tbe
charge, saying tbat tbe boy was too young to
suffer the consequences of so rash an act. and

A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Two Women In Allegheny Burned to Death
by Natural Gns.
Last evening Mrs. Kipp, aged 67 years, and
her daughter Lizzie, 17 years- old, died in tbe
Allegheny General Hospital, after suffering
great agony from burns.
About noon yesterday Mrs. Kipp and her
daughter went into the cellar of their honse.
No. 19 Pike street. They struck a match, and
immediately an explosion followed that tore
the clothing from tbeir bodies, and burned the
flesh horribly. Pbysiclans were summoned
and temporary relief afforded until tbe suffer
ing victims were taken to the hospital.
An examination of the cellar showed no
damage, except blistered paint on tbe walls.
There is no natural gas in the house. It is sup
posed tbe fluid leaked from the pipes in the
street and was filtered into the cellar. Being
devoid of odor Its presence was not detected.
The gas company set men to work to find the
leak, and they are tearing up tbe street to dis
cover tho break.

ARRESTED ffl JAIL.
Strangely Mixed Case of David Mc
Kay and Mrs. Miranda Palmer.
qwthey reyealedthemselyes
DiTorceylarcenj, Alleged Perjury and As
sault and Battery.
A WIFE'S Sp LEADS TO TW0AEKESTS
A rather queer case was developed yester
day in Alderman Monasters' office, in
volving perjury, shop-lifting, divorce and
assault and battery.
On December 23, 1889, informations were
made before Alderman McMastera by three
merchants, charging Miranda Palmer with
shop-lifting. The most interesting suit was
brought by Fleishman & Co. They alleged
that the woman entered their store carrying
a basket, in which they suspected her of
concealing stolen goods. She was stopped,
but while some of the employes of the store
were examining her basket the woman es
caped. After tho warrants for her were
issued she could not be found, and it was
thought that she had gone away from the
city. It was learned by Constable Hemer
that she had served a term in the work
house for shop-lilting, and had been several
times in the county jail.
Then another character was introduced
into the story. It is David McKay, a young
blacksmith; who lived on Penn avenue,
near Rebecca street. He and his wife, who
had not been married long, recently ap
peared in Common Pleas Court No. 1 as the
chief parties in a divorce suit.
FEKJUEY CHAEOED.
Mrs. McKay alleges that her husband, in
order to prevent her from securing a di
vorce, committed perjury while on the wit
ness stand. McKay and his wife had not been
living together for some time, and it was im
possible, when it was desired to find him for
perjury, to learn his abiding place.
David and Miranda, it seems, had been
neighbors in tbe Twentieth ward. They re
vealed tbeir residence andfell into tbo clutches
of tbe law. On Tuesday the widow made an
information before Magistrate McKenna,
charging McKay with assault and battery. It
then came out that tbey bad been dwelling in
one house on Fifty-fonrth street. In the
neighborhood Miranda Palmer, the widow,
was known as Mrs. McKay. David and she
had dwelt together no more peacefully than
had David and his legal wife. Magistrate Mc
Kenna caused tbe arrest of the blacksmith
and sent bim to jail t6 await a bearing.
Mrs. McKay and her friends learned yester
day of McKay's Incarceration and they made
inquiries concerning the woman who had ac
cused him. It was learned tbat she was
Miranda .f aimer, lor whom Constable Helner
naa neia tnree warrants tor neany sixmomus.
FOUND IJf JAIL.
Dr. W. J. Morris, of Lawrencevtlle, a friend
of Mrs. McKay, visited Alderman McMastera'
office and made an information against David
McKay, accusing him ot perjury. Tho warrant
was served on tbe defendant in jail, and tbe
hearing was fixed for next Monday.
Constable Heiner then secured warrants for
Miranda Palmer, and going to Lawrenceville
he found her at the house where she and Mc
Kay had lived, on Fifty-fourth street. She was
committed to jail under 1900 bail, and her hear
ing was fixed for next Wednesday. She is a
comely widow, and used to live on Federal
street in Allegheny.
PURE WATER FOB ALLEGHENY.
Tbe Committee Ponders Long nnd Deeply
on tbe Question.
For some time past the citizens of Allegheny
have made freqnent complaints of tbe poor
drinking water tbat is supplied to the city, and
earnestly demanded some action to be taken in
tbe matter that will lead to securing pure and
healtby water.
Last night the Allegheny sub-water commit
tee beld a long and protracted meeting, and for
nearly three hours discussed the question. Tbo
proposition to extend the water main np the
river to Nine Mile Island is about decided on,
but tbe difference between tbe members of tbe
committee now seems to be orr tho advisability
of putting in a water filter at that point. Nu
merous maps and plans of tbe proposed exten
sion were exhibited before the committee at its
meeting last night, bnt tbo opinions of the
members were at such great variance that it
was decided to leave the entire matter to tho
general committee at a meeting to be called
next week.
M0BE SPEAK-EASY BATDS.
Forty-Three Informations Mado Against
Proprietors Before Alderman Gripp.
Inspector McAleese yesterday lodged in

A BIXL FOB A BAS3.
Mr. Larkln's Bis Fish Story Knocked Oat
by a Cold-Blooded Dealer.
Last Tuesday James J. Larkin went down to
McKce's Rocks to fish. Ho was very success
ful, for when he returned to the city in the
evening he exhibited to his envious friends a
seven-pound black bass. Now a seven-ponnd
bass is a fish worth catching. Tbe fish was laid
out in a downtown restaurant and to the
assembled crowd Mr. Larkin told an interest
ing story ot the catch. The fish was exceed
ingly gamey in the water and struggled des
perately. It required ten minutes to land after
it was hooked, and Mr. Larkin had to call two
men to bis assistance. It was tbe largest bass
caught In tho river for several years. .
Yesterday afternoon one of Mr. Larkln's
associates in the City Assessor's offleo discov
ered on that gentleman's desk a bill from a fish
dealer at McKee's Rocks, reading: "To one
black bass, 7 lbs., 70 cents."
CHABGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT.
One Partner la a Coffee Honse Comes Back
at the Other for a Settlement.
W. H. Weaver was arrested yesterday on a
charge of embezzlement preferred against him
before Alderman Reilly by J. C. Dollman.
It was alleged by Dollman that recently he
and Weaver went into the coffee-house busi
ness on Robinson street, Allegheny. Dollman
put in $80. which he claims Weaver misused.
He asserted tbat Wearer purchased about $5
worth of old ntensils for the house, and made
out receipts showing the expenditure of $160.
He could not seenre a settlement and entered
suit. Weaver gave bail for a hearing Friday.
Changed His Mind.
During our State Fair a large fleshy gen
tleman came into our drugstore and was
suffering intensely from pain in the stomach,
caused by a change ot water aud diet. He
called for ginger and brandy. The latter
we could not supply, we therefore recom
mended Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. He replied that he had
no faith in any patent medicines, bnt finally
conclnded to take a dose. In a short time
he returned and bought a bottle. The first
dose relieved him. We have a large sale of
it, mostly to commercial travelers and to

OYSTERS IN SUMMER.
Perhaps Ion Had Better Satiate
Yourself This Month, as the
BIVALYELAWMAYBB EKFROCED.
They Are Not Good Articles of Diet Between
July 30 and in jnst 31.
flOWDEAIiEUS FEEL AB0DT THE MATTER
Epicures whose specialty is the oyster may
be required between the end of this month
and September 1, to content themselves with
the cove oyster, as the raw article may not
be in the Pittsburg market between the
dates named. In 1873 an act was passed ex
empting the oyster irom spoliation during
June, July and August Thp legislators
did not seem to be impressed with the
ancient belief that the bivalve is only fit for
food during the months that have an K in
their orthography. They thought as the
seasons have been set back a month that
Sol would not enervate the shellfish in Hay.
Tbe law has never been enforced in this
city, and some dealers did not know there
was one. It imposes a fine of $100 on the
first conviction, and subsequently the Judge
can add six months' imprisonment if he see
fit. A dealer in Philadelphia was fined
twice, once in 1873 and then in 1871, and
the second time warned by the Judge not
to get back, but after that the law became a
dead letter nntil now.
DEALERS TAKE ACTION.
The wholesale dealers and planters have
decided that during July and August there
should be no oysters sold in Philadelphia.
It was agreed not to enforce the law during
this month in order to give dealers a chance
to work off stocks and get ont of the business
without loss.
A tour among dealers convinced the tour
ist that the business was of small import
ance during the hot months in this city.
Possibly because of their distance from salt
water Pittsburgers as a rule find the clam a
very good substitute, and as it is a summer fish
their taste is good if not fashionable. There
are bnt two dealers in the city wbo do any sum
mer business of consequence and tbey both ex
press tbo hope tbat tbe law will be inforced, as
tbey say it will relieve them of a troublesome
business, lu which there is not only no profit,
but often loss. Most people wbo keep them do
it merely to hold otber trade.
Mr. J.B. Hemmerle said ho supposed he
might continue to sell under tbo original pack
age decision, bnt had rather not do It, He gets
his summer oysters from New York, as Vir
ginia and Maryland do not allow any oysters
taken after the 15th of Anril. and in the
Potomac the dredzers are not allowed to work
before tbe 15th ot October. Tbe planters are
not even allowed to harvest tbeir own oysters,
as tbe interest is too great to allow it to be im
periled, as It might be by poachers, wbo would
bo incited to defy the law when they saw pro
prietors of oyster nurseries making money.
NO BESTRICTION IN NEtV YOKE.
Now York does not place any restriction on
people wbo cultivate the oyster, and they not
only supply the cities contiguous to Manhattan
