Stone, Esq., who wag not a candidate at the primaries, and who had not complied with the rules, the observance of which conld alone Eire him standing as a candidate; therefore Resolved, That we hereby repudiate and con demn tbe mode of Mr. Stone's nomination as subversive of the fundamental principles of representative government, destruction of party unity, and wholly Irregular and void. Resolved, That in condemnation of the no lalmess of tbe methods by which tbe so-called nomination was brought about, and in vindica tion of the richt of the people to choose tbelr own public servants, we call upon the County Executive Committee to order new primaries and a new convention to fill tbe vacancy which exists under the rules. We demand this not onlv as a right, but as the best method of Indicating Rood faith in politics, preservinc the party orcanization, and avoiding all possible risk of having this great protection center rep resented in Congress bv a free trade Democrat. Resolved, further. That a committee consist ing of John W. Chalfant. H. W. Oliver, Jr.. J. H. Ricketson. A. E. W. Painter. A. JL Brers, Isaac Kline, J. B. Scott. J. H. Hampton, W. G.

TWO SETS OF BESOIiUTIOSS. "W. M. Gibbs, of Sewickley, then pre sented tbe following, and moved that it be adopted: WHEREAS, The declination of tbe Republi can nomination for Congress in tbe Twenty third district by Colonel W. A. Stone, leaves a vacancy in the ticket for that district; there fore. Resolved. That primary meetings be held on the 6th day of September, between the hours of 4 and 7 o'clock P. Ji to elect delegates, to a convention to be held on Tuesday, the 9th day of September, 1S90, to nominate a Republican candidate for Congress for the Twenty-third Congressional district, subject to the rules and regulations of tbe Republican Executive Com mittee. Henry M. Lone, the broker, a resident of leet township, offered the following as a substitute for tbe resolution of Mr. Gibbs: Agreeably to the expressed wishes ot the rep resentatives of the Twenty-third Congressional district in mass meeting assembled and agree able to the publicly expressed voice of many of tbe mdivinual voters of said district, believed to be a majority, the following resolutions are presented for the consideration of the Republi can County Committee: Resolved. That the Republican primary elec tion for Congressman in the Twenty-third dis trict shall be held on Saturday, August SO, 1890, and that at said election tbe electors be and are hereby authorized to vote for tbe candidate direct. The judges ot said election shall meet at tbe Common Council chamber. Allegbeny.on Tuesdav, September 2, and announce the vote for each candidato voted for at said primary elections. The candidate having received the greatest number of votes shall then and there be proclaimed tho Republican nominee for said office of representative in Congress for said Twentv-third district. Resolved. That all rules or parts of rules gov erning tbe Republican County Committee con flicting with tbe above resolution be and the same are for the time being suspended. Mr. Long said: "I move that botb the res olution of Mr. Gibbs ana the substitute lay over for ten days, as required by the rules." SO FZBS02UX ISTKBESX IN IT. , Mr. C. Iu Magee said: "While having Iro personal interest, as a resident of tbe Twenty-third district, in tbe condition of affairs there, I have the interest that every Republican in this county has in having tbem settled and settled satisfactorily to the Republicans of that district. The 'amend ment offered by Mr. Long is in clear viola tion of the rules already adopted by this committee. The resolution offered by Mr. Gibbs strikes me as meeting the case fairly. We would have had a very uncom fortable state of affairs in the Twenty-third district had Colonel Stone held to the nom ination given him by tbe Congressional con vention. He relieved the situation in that district, acting as a good Republican, re manding the question back to the people of that district; and that is what the meeting in Carnegie Hall asked should be done. I am heartily in favor of the resolution offered by Mr. Gibbs. I think it meets tbe case. The object that Mr. Long wants to get at is a fair and uncontested nomination in that district, and that is what we all want; and I think that will be accomplished by the original resolution." SICK OF THE DELEGAT3 SYSTEM. Mr. Long said: "At the meeting of citi zens of the district the resolution was unani mously adopted asking this committee to authorize the election to be so held atthe next primary as to give the people the right to vote for the candidate direct. This reso lution conflicts with the present rules, but my motion is to let it lie over ten days, so that the rules will be complied with. So far as I have heard the expression of the people of Allegheny since that meeting, they are sick to death of the delegate sys tem. Xo person can run lor office in Alleghenv county unless he is blackmailed until he "hasn't a dollar left. The delegate Evstem is an abomination. We ask for a direct vote. Mr. Magee and I are after the same purpose: that is, harmony in the Be pnblican party." Applause. Councilman A. C. Jiobprtson raised s point of order that the committee could not ,designate the Crawford county system for a 'part of Allegheny county and not for the whole. He said. "I am as much interested in the Crawford county system as Mr. Long, bat this is not the time to raise that ques tion." A UNANIMOUS BEQUEST. Mr. Long maintained that the committee could give the Twenty-third district the Crawford county system because tbe rest of tbe county had held primaries and made nominations. "This," he said, "will be in the nature of an experiment for the Twenty third district, and wchave unanimouslv, as far as I have beard any expression, asked you to permit ns this time to vote lor our candidates direct" Chairman Porter declared that the motion of Mr. Long was in direct violation of the rules of the committee, and ruled it out of order. Mr. Long declined to appeal. Tbe resolution of Mr. Gibbs was adopted without a negative vote. Somebody asked whether tbe wording of the resolution meant that the September primaries must be held under tbe rules now in force. Mr. Magee said: "The committee has adopted rules for the government of the party. There are several candidates for the nomination, and I think it is only fair that the candidates should have notice what the rules are under which they must make their canvass. Of course, it is competent for this committee to amend the rules at any time. You cannot bind the committee not to change the rules." Mr. Long moved that the Committee on Rules be asked to consider the adoption of the Crawford county system for primary elections. Mr. Magee seconded the motion, and it carried. THE KEEB-RUTAN CONTEST. A SPECIAL COMMITTEE WILL TAKE TES TIMONY. Resolutions Introdoced That Cnnsed Con siderable Comment Tbe Time at Which Ibe Report 1 to be Mnde Slajor Mon tooth Highly Extolled and Cheered. All that the committee was called upon to consider concerning the Congressional con test having been disposed of, the meeting was ready to take up the other Northside bone of contention, the Senatorial nomina tion in the Forty-second district. Mr. Wilson, of Allegheny, presented the following: Wheeeas. A convention to nominate a can didate for State feenatar in the Forty-second Senatorial district was duly called by the Re publican County Executive Committee, and in pursuance of said call, said convention met in Common Council chamber of Allegheny City, on Tuesday, Jnne 3. 1S90. at 10 o'clock A. K., and proceeded to the discharge of its duty, to nominate a candidate for Senator in said dis trict, and Whereas, During said proceedings a dispute arose over tbe organization and action of said convention, and , Whereas. A portion of the delegates elected to the said convention withdrew trom the hall wherein said convention was being held, and Is alleged to have organized a convention, and nominated a candidate for State Senator in said district, therefore POWEBS OP THE COMMITTEE. Resolved, That a committee of fire, be p- j pointed by the Chair with authority to examine witnesses under oath in relation thereto, and that committee shall first be sworn to conduct this investigation fairly and impartially, that the officers of said convention as well as the officers of the body of delegates that withdrew therefrom be required to certify and deliver to the secretary of this committee, for tbe use of the special committee, tho rolls, credentials of delegates, and all records of proceedings of their respective bodies, on or before Thursday, Jnne 19. 1890. That said special committee be and are here by directed to report-to this general committee on Saturday, June 2S. 1890, and that a special meeting of this body be held at 2 o'clock F. ir on the said date to consider the report. Mr. Magee Said: "One of the gentlemen claiming to be the Republican nominee for Senator is out of the city nod out of the State, aud I would suggest to the gentleman who offered that resolution that the time for the report to the general committee be ex tended to July 19." This amendment was accepted by Mr. Wilson. HAD TO WITHDRAW IT. Mr. Morris moved to amend that the com mittee to investigate be composed of five member, two to be named by "Mr. Neeb, two by Mr. Rutan, and the" four to select a fifth. Afterward Mr. Morris withdrew this motion at the request of Mr. Magee. The resolution of Mr. Wilson was adopted. Mr. Flinn moved the appointment of a sub-committee or five to fill any vacancies jn the Executive Committee which may exist alter Saturday, June 28. Adopted. Captain Samuel D. Hubley presented a resolution extolling Major E. A. Montooth for his military and civil accomolishments, and declariug it to be the sense of the com mittee that Allegheny county, which had never had a Governor of the Commonwealth and yet gave the largest majority 'for Presi dent Harrison of any county in the Repub lic, was entitled to have the nomination conferred upon its favorite son. The resolu tion was saluted with applause, and was adopted unanimously. The committee adjourned until Saturday, July 19. "WITH AN EYE OH FAYETTE. Chairman Andrews Entertains Qnlte a Num ber of Local Politicians. W. H. Andrews, Chairman ot the Bepub lican State Central Committee, came to Pittsburg yesterday morning, and spent the day, until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, at the Seventh Avenue Hotel. He came here, apparently, to be in a position to re ceive quick news by wire from Somerset and Payette counties", and send quick news in return. Soon after his arrival be re ceived three Fayette county politicians, who had a briel conference with him and then departed to reach home before the pri maries were opened at 4 o'clock. Soon afterward Mr. Andrews had the pleasure of meeting two of tne delegates from Alle gheny county to the State Convention, Wal ter & Lyon and Nathan S. Williams. These two gentlemen arc from Legislative districts which did not instruct lor Mon tooth. The first lieutenant for Senator Delama ter was also visited by Collector Warmcas tle, aud another visitor was Richard S. Quay, who has received one of the Legisla tive nominations in Beaver county. Mr. Quay congratulated Mr. Andrews because the Republicans of Crawford county had nominated him for State Senator, and Mr. Andrews congratulated Mr. Quay because the Republicans ol Beaver county had nom inated him for Representative. Smiles and cigars were exchanged. Beyond these com pliments no political gossip was exchanged. Mr. Quay conversed charmingly about the black bass in the Beaver river, while Mr. Andrews went into ecstacies over the trout in Oil creek. Another visitor was Editor Bloss, of the Titusville Herald. Mr. Andrews said to the reporters who called upon him that he believed Mr. Selaniater would be nominat ed for Governor, but beyond that he did not care to discuss politics except to remark that he always liked Henry Clays, but would not throw a Reina Victoria over bis shoulder. At 2 o'clock he boarded a. train for the marshy wilds of Craw.'ord county. THE GUBERNATORIAL CAMPAIGN. Major Montoolh'n Headquarters a Terr Bus? Plnce, Nowadays The Montooth headquarters, at the corner ot Fifth and Wood, were busy yesterday. A large amount of literature is being sent out. Only eight working days intervene before the State Convention, and the work ers are active. Encouraging news last even ing from Fayette and Somerset put the people about headquarters in a good humor indeed. The committee desires to receive to-morrow the names of all who wish to go to Harrisburg. The amount of fare depends upon the number who will go. Harry S. Paul, treasurer of the com mittee, has been receiving contributions, some of the checks being accompanied by the warmest encomiums of Major Montooth. Mr. Paul is willing to receive more at his office, corner of Smithfield street and Seventh avenue. There will be a meeting of the general committee at 3 o'clock to-morrow alternoon. Captain Batchelor desires a full attendance. The Swedish local journal, Our JTeto Home, has lor several weeks been taking a vote of its subscribers as to their choice for Governor.

Some Lively Pntllson-Wnllaco Contests Booked for Snmrdny. There will be several lively contests at' the Democratic primaries next Saturday, between the adherents of Wallace aud Fattison. The First Legislative district, in Allegheny, is conceded to Patti son. In the Second district, which is composed of the lower half of Allegheny, there will be a brisk contest. The gentlemen running as PattUon delegates to the State Convention are Lee Frazier, of the Sixth ward, and Frederick J. Manley, of tbe Eleventh ward; while the Wallace candidates are Attorney Henry Meyer, of the Second ward, and William H. Cullers, or the Filth ward. John L. Sullivan, of Beaver avenue, ex presses the opinion that four out of five Allegheny Democrats are for Pattison. On the other side, the Wallace people express the opinion that the popularity of Mr. Meyer will carry the district. The Third district in Pittsburg will pre sent a lively fight, with the chances ap parently in favor of Wallace, while the Fourth district is conceded to Walljce, through ,tlie influence of Magistrate Mc Kenna. The Filth will send three Pattison aud three Wallace delegates. The three other districts will be fighting ground. M'KAY DIDN'T GET OFT. Sent to Jail by Alderman DIcMnstera on a Charge of Perjury.

S&Stt THE Hundreds of Sick Persons Flocking From All Farts of tbe United States to Troy Hill. SEEKIKG RELIEF FEOH PAIN At tbe Hands of a Catholic Priest,' Worth $3,000,000, Who Prescribes With- ' out Fee or Eeward. HIS MEDICINES INDORSED BI DOCTOES. Interviews With Deaf, Dnmb, -Blind and Otherwise Afflicted People Who Hare Been Cared, The blessing and healing of the sick were continued yesterday at the church ol Father Mollinger on Troy Hill. A majority of the visitors have departed for their homes, but there yet remain a great many who are stay ing to consult with Father Mollinger. The venerable priest is exhausted from , the work he has done in the past few days. He remained in his house all morn ing, taking a much-needed rest. People by the score were met by a Dispatch reporter and told of the wonderful cures he had af fected. Nearly every one enconntercd had a story to tell of the relief received from some disease with which they were afflicted when they came here. The boarding honses are still taking care of a great many people. While visiting the boarding house of Mrs. Boebmig, the reporter met a lady name!! Broman, from Galion, O., who brought her little daughter. Gertrude, with her, to be treated by Father Mollinger. The child is 4 years old. At the age of 2 years she was stricken with fever which deprived her of hearing and speech, and for two years not the faintest sound has been heard from the little one's mouth, and she has never ap peared to hear any noise that was made near her. After being unsuccessful with the treatment of several skilled physicians of Cincinnati, Mrs. Broman, who is not a Catholic, was prevailed upon by her friends to bring the little girl here for treatment, A child's speech eksoteed. Five days ago the little girl was unable to make any verbal noise, and yesterday the people in the boarding house heard the lit tle one making a noise as if trying to ex press something. Of course, the child could not talk, as she was only in her second year when the disease came upon her, but she made sounds with her voice that the mother claimed not to ' have heard from the little one for two years. The little girl also gave "signs that she again possessed the sense of hear ing. A small bell was rung, behind her. and she immediately turned 'around, and looked at it iu an amazed manner. Mrs. Broman firmly believes that the child was cured through tbe influences of Father Mollinger. The little girl is a perfect bcanty and has a very intelligent face. Yesterday she was taught to call for her mamma, 'and evinced other signs that the power ot speech and hearing was restored to her. Mrs. Gaffney, of Conneaut, Ashtabula county, O., said: "I came here a year ago so badly nffected with rheumatism that I had to be carried upon a stretcher, and I was treated by Father Mollinger. How you see me to-day as lively as a cricket." Mrs. Bnehmig, the boarding house keeper, con firmed tbe lady's statement in every par ticular Mr. J. B. Corey, of Baltimore, an insur ance man, said: "I have had considerable trouble with my right leg. About a year ago, while walking through my bouse with my slioes off, I stepped upon a pin and re ceived a sligh; scratch. I did not pay any particular attention to what I thought a mere scratch, but in less than a month I experienced a numbness in my leg, and later it affected me so that a needle could be put in any part of my right foot and I would not feel it. The leg was soon of no service to me and remained stiff. I came here, and NOW I CAN WALK. The numbness has entirely left me, and I am sensitive to the touch of anything, now." Mr. Carey could not account for the cure. The bes't surgeons had given up all hope of ever making his limbs of any use to'him. He had heard of the wonderful healing powers of Father Mollinger, and at first was skeptical as to whether the venera ble priest could cure him. He is now fully convinced, and is willing to bear testimony to the wonderful work. Peter McMahon, ot New York, said: "I have been troubled for a long time with in digestion. I consulted a number ot doctors, without avail. On Friday I took some medicine prescribed by Father Mollinger. and I do not have the least trouble now. My appetite is all right again." Several ot the boarders were ready to Touch for this last statement Patrick Morrissey, a merchant from St, Paul, Minn., said: "I have been troubled with rheumatism of the heart for five years. I have been treated by several physicians, who pronounced my 'case incurable. I camehere a week ago in order to have a consultation with Father Mollinger. He prescribed for me, and now I have felt the good effects of the medicine, and to-day it does not trouble me iu the least." THE BLIND MADE TO SEE. Mrs. Culp, of Chicago, wife ot a broker, said: "I have had detective sight for three years. I had a fever and came near losing my life at the time. Many specialists with whom I have consulted did me no good and my frieuds advised me to come here and consult Father Mollinger. I am not a Catholic, but I know of some cures that he made of some friends of mine, and I concluded to come here and consult him. I could not discern anything without the assistance of a strong pair of glasses. I could not even walk ont without tbem. I got a prescription from Father Mollinger, and received the blessing on St. Anthony's day. To-day 1 can read a paper witnout glasses." A paper was given tbe lady, and she read it unhesitatingly. Mrs. S. C. Moran, ot Canajoharie, N. Y., said: "I have been troubled for a year or so with a bad cold in my lungs, from which I could obtaid no relief. I have acted under the directions of Father Mollinger, and the hoarseness which long troubled me has now disappeared." SIAN3T SIMILAB CASES. These were only a few of the cures effected and reported. Blind people, those who were incapacitated from walking aud people who were bereft of their reason have been re . ported cured. They traveled many miles and their trouble has been re warded, all state, whether by the faith that the people place in Father Mollinger, who invokes the aid of the Almighty in curing them, or the medium which he is so able to prescribe, re lieves them of pain and cures tbem of dis eases that have baffled the most skillful practitioners. Some of them go so far as to, offer to take affidavits to the effect that they have been cured by the aid of the priest. He claims not to make any cures of his own power. He invokes the'aid of God in guiding him in his work. He thinks nothingbeyond the ordinary line of diseases has been cured by him. INDOBSED BY PHTSICIANS. A druggist in Allegheny, where a great many prescriptions have been filled, says: "Father Mollinger certainly prescribes medicines that are adapted to tbe cases. A great man v physicians who have a high re gard for him as a physician, aud concede him to be well up in medical science, give prescriptions the same as he does. They hold his knowledge of medicine . in so Hen esteem that in many, cases PITTSBURG DISPATCH, they refer back to some cases in which Father Mollinger has prescribed medicines that have been successful. And he is only actuated by a spirit of doing what is just to these that have been nnfortunate. He receives no compensation of any kind for this work. The people to whom he gives advice are at liberty to pay what they choose, or nothing at all, just as it suits them, He is not dependent on the contributions be receives, as he is re ported to be worth at least $3,000,000." Father Mollinger will give advice to-morrow to the people who yet remain. There are at least 300 visitors from all parts of tbe United States vet here who have not con sulted him, and who do not wish to leave without doing so. KILLED BY A CABLE CAR, Little Jamrt Slonig-oraery Crntbed on the PKUbnrr Traction Bond An Exciting Runnwny People Who Hod Limbs Broken In Accidents Yesterday. James Montgomery, a boy about 8 years old, was knocked down by a cable car near the market house yesterday afternoon and so badly injured that he died a few hours after ward. Gripman John Allen was placed under arrest. Dr. Kirker's horse got scared at a bicycle yesterday and ran away, smashing the buggy before he was caught. John Kohler, a little boy livingon Thirty third street, fell from a "merry-go-round" yesterday. He suffered a fraction of the collar bone. Jerry Gloss, employed at Price's foundry on Filth avenue, was oiling one of the shalts yesterday morning when his vest naught in a pulley, throwing bim around tbe shaft. But luckily the vest was torn off and he was thrown violently to the floor, breaking his right leg at tbe knee and badly injuring his, head. He was removed to his home on Kirkpatriek street. Two men narrowly escaped death about noon yesterday on Sixth street, near the bridge. Mr. Craig, brother of Joseph Craig, the well-known oil man, was driying into tbe city from Allegheny. He had a team of spirited colts, aud suddenly there was a crash that startled everybody passing by. Two frisky bronchos attached to one of Gusky's wagons came down tbe street on a run, and one ot the wheels brought up against Mr. Craig's Chadwick cart with a shock that threw him headlong into the street, and also knocked the negro driver of the broncho team from his scat Both teams of horses were caught before they bad a chance to rnn off, while the two drivers picked themselves up. Fortunately they were not badly hurt, Alex J. Hughes, a laborer, fell a distance of 35 feet into a stone quarry back of Polish Hollow. He was badly hurt, andmay not live. He was carrying some dinner pails over tbe hill when he lost his balance. J. Carpie's horse ran away in the West End yesterday, and knocked down young Bobb, breaking hi3 leg. The wagon was demolished. William Chantlcr, 23 years old, was run over by a train on the Panhandle, at Mans field, on Friday night, and died yesterday morning from the effects of his injuries. The correct name of the boy who was killed by being run over by his father's sand wagon in Allegheny yesterday was Joseph Pohn. James M. Caldwell, a Pittsburg lawyer, was thrown from a horse in Mansfield yes terday. His head was badly cut. FOB NEGLECT AND CBTJELTY. A DrlnUIns Fnther Becomes Repentant and Slgni the Pledge. Superintendent M. J. Dean, of the Anti Cruelty Society, was instrumental yester day in having two persons arrested in Law enceville and lodged in tbe Seventeenth ward police station. Michael Mundy, a puddler by trade, lives in Hatfield. He is charged with cruelty and neglect of his wife and two children, it being alleged that he spends his money for ,liquor and comes home frequently in an intoxicated condition. When in this state " it is alleged he abused his, wife and children' In a very crnel manner. Jmnay was ar rested on a similar charge not long since, and was given a hearing before Alderman Warner. He there became repentant and took fhe pledge to abstain from drinking liquor for one year. The other case is that of Mrs. Eckstein, of No. 421 Ella street. She is charged with crnelty and neglect of her children. She is the mother of six children, and it is said that all the money she receives from her husband, who is a hard working man, is ex pended for drink, and that her family suf fers from the want of this misused money, and frequently is cruelly treated. FOUGHT FOB TEE CHILD. A Separated Conple Clnib, nnd tbe Hnaband SncR tho Wife. Mrs. Sarah Plate was the defendant in a suit before Alderman Saccop last night, in which she was charged by her husband, Charles L. Plate, with assault and battery and disorderly conduct. The story related by the plaintiff is that be and his wife have not lived together for some time by mutual consent. Their one child, a boy, has been in the rare of his father, but a few days ago Mrs. Plate called at the house where her husband and little son are located and at tempted to take the child away. He refused to go, when she tried to take the boy away in spite of the father's protests. At this stage the parents appeared to have lost sight of the object of their dispute, and began to fight with each other. Mrs. Plate is alleged to have soon grown tired of fight ing with her tongue, and picking up a good sized stone attacked her opponent, and beat him severely about the bead and face. This movement speedily terminated the affair, and was the foundation for the suits. Tbe magistrate held Mrs. Plate for court on the charge of assault, and imposed a light fine on the other. A SIGNBOABD WAB. Criminal and Civil .'nils Entered by n Dentist nnd an Optlcnl Company. Dentist Charles S. Scott and the Fox Optical Company, represented by Manager B. B. Wallace, are having a lively sign board war. Mr. Scott leased No. 624 Penn avenue to the optical company, and they at at once put up glowing signs on the build ing, which Mr. Scott as promptly proceeded to tear down. After the signs had been replaced and torn down several time?, Mr. Wallace made an information before Alder man O'Brien charging Mr. Scott with ma licious mischief. The latter was arrested, and gave bail for a hearing to-morrow. - Mr. Scott then filed a bill in equity against the Fox Optical Company, in which he asks that the defendants be restrained from putting up signs, as' it depreciated the value of tbe property. A hearing was fixed for Tuesday. HE WAS SOBER AND STEADY, And This Is Why tbe Frlenda of Geo. Hall Wander Where Ho 1. The relatives and friends of George Hall, of the Twelfth ward, are anxious about his whereabouts. Hall is 38 years of age, and was a millworker at Carnegie's Twenty ninth street mill until two weeks ago. He was a man of steady habits, and had laid by considerable money. After quitting work at Carnegie's, he left for New Castle to ac cept a position at Witherrow'a foundry there. Since then nothing has been heard of him by his relatives.

A Surprisingly Large Number Em ployed at Manual Labor, C0HTEART TO THE STATE LAW. Some Interesting Information and Sug gestions Adduced BI THE STATE BOKEAU OP STATISTICS The question of child labor is In a state of agitation just now in industrial circles. W. H. Martin, Factory Inspector for the State, when here a few days ago seems to have found a surprisingly large number of children employed in mills and factories, who are employed contrary to law. When Inspector Barker, who represents the Gov ernment, was here several weeks since, he reported a number of establishments where he thought it would be necessary to enforce the provisions of the law. Immigrant In spector Bobert Layton, in speaking of the matter yesterday, said: "The question involving the employment of children in mills and factories is a broad one, aud depends entirely on the conditions and circumstances surrounding the child's life. There can be no harm in( putting a child of 14 years of age or over, to work, provided he has had a reasonable oppor tunity to get the foundation for an educa tion, and he is not overworked to tbe detri ment of his health. If a widow left with out means of support has children capable of earning a livelihood for her, they ought to be put to work. If parents are niggardly, or the father spends his boy's earnings for liquor and deprives him of his education, the employment of such a child ought to be stopped. The hours of labor ought to be shortened. The theory giving eight hours for labor, eight for sleep and eight for rest aud enjoyment, is a fair and just division of the 24 hours allotted to man, and no child, of whatever circumstances, should be com pelled to work longer than that. GENEBAIi LEGISLATION NEEDED. "Labor organizations are making two mistakes just now. This thing of asking for special legislation is all wrong. We don't want class legislation as against any other class. What-we do want is general legisla tion that will place us on an equality with all other men. We don't need better ap prentice systems, and too much time is wasted trying to improve on the present systems. The days are past when men learn all departments of a trade. Where is the shoemaker who wants a boy to learn the trade? Modern machinery has changed things so that tbe practical machinist of to-day wonld not have known anything about his trade 2j or 30 years ago. The laboring classes will only be benefited when employer and employe are brought closer together and made to understand each other's conditions. One trouble now is the employes have lost confidence with the employers. If men talk about striking, manufacturers raise the cry of dullness in trade and their ina bility to pay ah advance. The next day or two their men go ont and the firm pays them what they ask. More common hon esty on both sides will be of incalculable value to the labor question." SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED. Prof. Bolles, Chief of the State Bureau of Industrial Statistics, sent 600 blanks from Harrisburg to the principal labor organiza tions, Knights of Labor and trade organiza tions, for distribution among workingmen of the State, embodying the following ques tions: Ought children be employed in factories or mills'' Ought tbey be employed in any case; for ex ample, whon their motner is a widowf At what age sboalit their employment begin 7 State the effects or consequence to children and parents of employing them. For example, would parent work less if their children were employed? Effect on health, education, etc., of children. Ought the honrs of a day's labor be short enonT If so, in what trades and occupations, ana how much? Ongbt the working day be uniform in all trades, occupations, etc? What legislation, if any, ought to be enacted for the improvement ana benefit of the work ing classes? How ougbtthe apprenticeship system be car ried on? What laws, what regulations, what condnct; in general, what course, of action either by em ployed or employers, or both, would be the bestfor the prosperity and happiness of both? To the question whether children should be employed in factories or mills a large majority of the 78 persons who wrote to the Bureau of Industrial Statistics answered that tbey should not be thus engaged under 14 years of age. A few said under 12, and some 15 and 16. One workingmau replied that children should be kept at school until they are 21, and the State should see that any poor child born in it should have all the educational advantages of those having wealthy parents. NOT A SOTJKCE OF WEALTH. Another wrote that it could not be a source of wealth to the country to have chil dren employed and have able-bodied men and Women'remain idle. Another said that by the employment of children grown per sons are deprived of employment and that the employment of children impairs their health and results in a weaker race every generation. One who answered in the nega tive added that if we wished to preserve our liberties, "the schoolroom is the place for children." One who put himself on record as against the employment of a child under 15 years of age said the morals, the body aud the mind are stunted by enforced labor in tender years. Another declared that child labor was a menace to the intelligence of the country from the fact that as soen as a boy is large enough to do any work he is put to it and kept trom school. One workingmau answered in the affirmative, because "in Philadelphia", the city of homes, an un skilled laborer cannot, on his own individ ual earnings, afford to occupy a suitable house and rear his family and' live as an American citizen shonld live." Several answered that there could be no objection to the employment of children provided that due regard was bad for their health and safety. Another replied that in many factories boys' labor was an important factor and in many instances absolutely nec essary. BADICALLT DIYEBSE VIEWS. The qnestion, ought they (children) to be employed in any case; for example, when their mother is a widow, elicited radically diverse answers. Many replies justified their employment, but others said it was the duty of the State to take care of the widows and see that their offspring was properly educated before being put to work in factories aud mills. , One who answered in the negative said tbe curse of a just God must sooner or later fall on anycountry or people who will per mit any child born among them to be set to work without an education. Another wrote that it was his private opinion that widows were pre-eminently able to take care of themselves. Another suggested a general fund for the maintenance of indigent widows and children until the latter are able to work, when they, shonld be obliged to reim burse tbe State by paying a percentage of their earnings until the debt was entirely liquidated. One declares that females should not be employed under any circum stances, as the man shonld be the only bread-winner. Most of those who were asked to state the effects or consequences to children and parents by the employment of tbe former answered that the health of the children is undermined and many of them fail to-se' cure a proper education, and others added that it involved the contraction of vices be cause of bad associations. As to the effect of the employment of children in factories and mills on their parents a wide diversity of opinion was represented in the answers, some stating that I the parents would work less and others that it would not hare that effect. IN FAVOB OP EIGHT HOTJBS. The lubmlMion of the qnestion, "Ought s' 1S90. the hours of a day's labor be shortened," developed a strong sentiment in favor of eight hours. One suggested greater restric tions on immigration, ''otherwise steamship companies would be the chief gainers by a rednctlon of hours." One opposed a reduc tion of hours unless a national law to that effect was passed. Another suggested that the shortening of working time would create a demand for a larger number of em ployes, and improve their health and in crease their prosperity. One answered that the matter should be settled between the employer and tbe employed, and should be governed by the amount of compensation. The effect of a reduction of hours would be a few hours' work and low salaries, while many want high wages and nothing to do. The question, "Ought the working day be uniform in all trades, etc." mystified many of those who attempted to reply to it. Some answered that it should be uniform if practicable, but many of them thought uni formity wonld be difficult to reach. One said: ""Bosh! Wait till the millenium comes, and tben ask that question." Among the answers to the question, "What legislation, if any, ought to be en acted tor the improvement and benefit of the working classes?" are the following: SOME OP THE SUGGESTIONS. The factory Inspection law should be en forced; employes should be paid weekly; taxes should bo placed on land values and no work of State or city shonld be done by contract. Give us free trade. A State Board of Arbitration: make the em ployment of American citizens compulsory on alienate, national or municipal work; Aus tralian system of voting; abolition of store or der system. The State to print and furnish all text books for schools. The prices for the necessaries of life shonld be fixed by law. Corporations to be prohibited from watering stock; all surplus over 5 per cent on capital in vested to be paid into tbe State treasnrv; tbe abrogation of all conspiracy laws; United States to condnct all railroad, telegraph and tele phone business. As capital without labor will consume Itself, therefore labor should have a reasonable share of tbe profit it produces. Enforce what laws we hare now and tbey will remedy tbe complaints of the many wage workers In their families. A law taxing all income above a reasonable amount, so that the taxes on tbe poor man's home are as light as possible; a law to severely pumsli all trusts and combinations that gamble on the necessaries of life. Keep a good stiff tariff on all articles that can be produced in America. Proper sanitary laws providing for inspection of tenement houses and their surronndings; contract labor ought to be abolished, and con victs should be employed In improving the water ways of the State and roads in boroughs and townships. The State to control all mines, and operate them for the benefit or tbe people. Prohibiting tho traffic of Intoxicating drinks as a beverage: the encouragement of proper co operative enterprises. COMEULSOBY EDUCATION. A compulsorv edncation law for children nntil they are ll years of age; prohibiting the bringing of detectives from other States to force workingmen to submit to injustices at the point of rifles and that the State settle all such matters without the Interference of Pinker ton's men. A rednctlon of the salaries of connty and State officers proportioned to the decline in prices of farm prodncts and labor and the abolition of railroad passes. Monopolies and monopolistic privileges should by abolished. Repeal existing tariff laws and pass an act of Congress restricting the immigration to this country of foreign workmen, thus giving to the workingmen of this country the advantages which the manufacturers now enjoy: namely, of bnying where there is free competition and selling wbere competition has been shut out. Compelling employers to pay women the same wages as men for similar work and making tbem responsible for injuries cansed by the carelessness or ignorance of their agents or themselves. We don't want any more laws, but we do want more justice. A law should be passed compelling employers to recognize labor unions. Many suggestions were made as to bow tbe apprentice system should be carried on, but from tbem it would be difficult to evolve an improvement on the existing condition ' of things. The question as to how the prosperity and happiness of employer and employe could be best subserved, elicited elaborate replies, five of which follow: SHOULD SET AN EXAMPLE. Employers shonld set the example of "doing as they wonld be done by," and that would do away with the feeling of discontent that is born ot being despised and causes employes to act dishonestly. I know of nothing which breeds so much ill feeling between employer and employed as tbe indifference the former shows when work Is BCa&rcc The inauguration of a system of profit sharing. A great deal better feeling would exist were employer and employed to become better ac quainted and they were on speaking and social terms, wbere business or pleasure should bring them in contact. . Until some restrictions are placed on whole sale immigration the workingmen of this coun try will never have Instice done tbem. Arbitration is suggested as the best means ot settling disputes between employer and em ployed bv many who answered the Chief of In dustrial Statistics questions. D02TT WANT TO MOVE. The Sldevrnlk Stand Proprietors In Alle gheny Kick Foreigner Must Give Way to Farmers Tho Curbstone Business Men Are Terr Indignant. Since the Allegheny Market Committee declared that the curbstone and sidewalk stands at the market house must go, and the space occupied at present by Italians and other foreigners be given to farmers and producers of garden stuff, there has been some tall kicking by the 'street merchants who must shortly pull up stakes and hie them to more favorable parts. During a lull in business last night the sidewalk salesmen could be heard discuss ing the matter among themselves, and from the dark looks of their faces and tbe low tones in which they spoke, they are pot very pleasantly disposed toward the officials who are determined to oust tbem. "I have been a citizen of this ward for over ten years," said H. Lazarus, one of the notion dealers; "always kept my st3nd clean aud cannot see why I am to be knocked out of my living." Clerk Hastings was interviewed, and he threw some light on tbe matter. "This is tbe first time in about 17 years," he said, "that we have decided to stop the foreigners from doing business on the market side walks, and on Monday they must all go. Tbe reason for this is more be cause they block the sidewalk, and it is a great nuisance, especially on Saturday nights. We intend to give the farmers and producers a chance to keep, stands. They will do business only in the morning, so that the sidewalks will be clear through the day and at night, when travel is heavy." MISSED FEOm'hIS HOME.

A TEA6EDT IS OHIO REVEALED B a Quarrel Between a Conple in an Alderman's Office. THE ST0EI C0SPIEMED IN C0LUMBBS Salvatore Tero, an Italian, was taken from a train at the Union depot, Columbus, O., on tbe night of. June 12, 1889, and con veyed to St. Francis Hospital in a patrol wagon. An examination by hospital phy sicians developed the fact that Tero was .suffering from a gunshot wound in the right eye and a fracture ot the skulL He was registered on the records of the institution as a married man, 24 years of age, his resi dence being at Gloucester, O., about two miles north of Bishopville, Athens county. Tero said he was a railroader, and had been in this country but three years. Tero suffered fearful agonies for 10 days, during which time the good Sisters in charge of tbe hospital ministered tojbim faithfully, and did all in their power to relieve his sufferings. The physicians finally decided as a last resort to perform an operation upon Tero, with the bare possibility of saving his life. DIED under the knife. The operation was too much for tbe already exhausted strength of the wounded man, and he died under the knife on June 22, just 10 days after his atrival in the hospital. No friend' of the deceased claim ing the body, it was turned over for dissec tion to the students oi the college in which the hospital is located. The condition of tbe injured man when re ceived at St. Francis Hospital was- such as to preclude the officials obtaining any in formation from Tero as to the circumstances attending the infliction of the wounds. These facts were obtained yesterday from the records of the hospital and from the Sis ters in charge, in compliance with a tele gram from Pittsburg asking for information of the death of a man who is supposed to have received his death wound at Bishop ville, O. The manner in which the story of a murder was developed is a peculiar one and resnlted from a quarrel between a hus band and wife in Larrenccville. Yesterday morning Mrs. Louisa Scott, a young colored woman living on Fayette alley near Thirty-fourth street, swore out a warrant before Alderman Doughty, charg ing her husband with assaulting her be cause she refused to give bim money. The man was arrested, and at the hearing the couple began to quarrel, and finally the woman told her husband she was tired of bim and was going to give him away, aud then and there accused him of murder. A TALE OF IITTRDEK. Mrs. Scott then told the following story to the Alderman: "About a year ago Mr. Scott and myself were residing at Bishop ville, Athens county, O. One night my husband was out oi money and asked an Italian to give him some. The Italian re fused, and Scott went into the house and soon returned with a heavily loa'ded shot gun. When he caught sight of the Italian he raised the weapon to his shoulder and fired. The load took effect in the Italian's breast, and he was pioked up and afterward taken to the hospital at Columbus, O. He died there about ten days afterward. The place became too warm for us, and we fled from Bishopville to elude the officers. Several months ago we came to Pittsburg, and have lived here since." Mrs. Scott told her story in a straight forward manner, and herhnsband displayed much uneasiness during Its relation. Will iam Scott is about 32 years old, of medium statue, and does not look like a man of strong passions. He was committed to jail for court in default of $500 bail on the charge of assault and battery. Alderman Doughty has sent word to the Bishopville authorities of the accusation made by Mrs. Scott against her husband, and the matter will be thoroughly investi gated. Dr. J. A. Stout, who was attending phy sician at St. Francis Hospital, in Colum bus, at the time of Tero's death, was seen late last night by The Dispatch's Columbus correspondent. The doctor stated when Tero came to the hospital an other man was with him aud told the follow ing story: Tero was a railroader and livedat Bishopville in the same vicinity with a colored man who was a miner by trade. The colored man borrowed 51 35 from Tero, and after he had the money several weeks and did not pay any of it back, Tero met the colored man on a highway one Sunday afternoon and asked him for the money. The colored man invited him to his home saying he would pay it back with interest Tero according to the invitation went to the home of his friend and was met at the door. The colored man excused himself aud went to the room returning in a few moments with a shot gnn in his linnd. Without any notice whatever be raised the gun and shot the Italian, thus paying back the money which he owed. It seems that Tero was a poor man and little or no attention was paid to his death. A crowd of miners carried the body to Glouster, where it was put on a train and sent to Columbus. Dr. Stout says at tbe time Tero was at the hospital he made an effort to have the matter investigated, but without success. The post mortem was held when from 12 to 15 shot were found a number of whichare in the possession of one of tbe physicians. They were removed from the brain. Dr. Stout describes tbe sufferings of the man as having been intense. Communicated. 1 Daniel McWilllams, The candidate for County Commissioner, was born in Allegheny county, December 31. 1843. He was educated in the public schools, and later worked as a coal miner and as a heater in a sheet mill. Va the xlla of April, 1861, five days after Fort Sumter was urea upon, ne ennstea as a private in Company D, Eighth Begiment, Pennsyl vania Reserves, and served faithfully with that gallant regiment, never missing an en gagement or any kind of duty until he was carried off the field of South Mountain, Sep tember 14, 1862, where he was twice severe ly wounded. These wounds made him a cripple for life, thereby preventing him from following his trade. To better fit himself for tbe active duties of life he took a course of atudiei at Duff's College. In 1887 Mr. McWilliams was nominated and elected County Commissioner, being the regular candidate on the Democratic ticket. During his term the plans and contract for th nw flnnrt House and jail went into effect, which are a credit to the people of Alleghenv countv aud a triDUte to tne lore sight of the Commissioners. He served faithfully aud with entire satisfaction to the taxpayers, and if re-elected, he will con tinue to deserve their approval. The Judges ot the county all speak in the highest terms of Mr. McWilliams as a citi zen and an official. When named as a candidate, one of them said he was the best Commissioner the connty has had for 20 years; that he Was always on duty, courteous and obliging. Silks reduced. Black goods reduced.
