r. ft k I I PATTISON IS ON TOP He Has Fourteen of the Twenty-One Delegates to the State Conven tion From the County. ALL CLOSE DISTRICTS CARRIED. McWilliams and Boyle Assured of the - dominations for County -Commissioners, if Two ire Earned. SEXaTOE QUA! SEES LOCAL LEADERS. t Be Haintalns Bis Faith in the Selection of George Wallace Delimiter. The Democratic primaries were held last evening, trom 5 to 7 P. at. The contests in the county were for delegates to the County Convention, as between Daniel McWilliams and Dennis J. Boyle for County Commis sioner, and for the Legislative district con ventions between the Pattison and Wallace delegates. TJp to midnight Commissioner McWill iams had received returns from districts which cave him 53 delegates. In these re turns he had carried the First ward, the Twenty-ninth and the Thirty-first solidly. His chief strength came from the boroughs and townships. He carried Beltzhoover, Knoxville, Braddock, Wiikinsbnrg, Brush ton, Edgewood and Osborne boroughs and Bterrett township. Returns were received from no other places outside of the two cities. Dennis J. Boyle, up to 12 o'clock, had re ceived assurances that his delegates had been elected in 123 districts. He carried solidly the Fourth, Filth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth. 2Jinth, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thir teenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Twenty first, Thirtieth. Thirty-third, Thirtv fourth and Thirty-sixth wards. In Allegheny 15 districts reported delegates for him, and he has besides Elizabeth, Greentreeand Mill Tale boroughs and Union township. TWO OTHKE CANDIDATES. Alexander "Wilson, the wholesale tobac conist, who is a resident of the Eleventh ward of Allegheny, claims to haTe carried 32 districts in Allegheny and three in Pitts burg. James Tallan, of this city, has car ried, as far as claimed, only the seventh pre cinct of the Sixth ward and the third of the Second ward. The two other districts of the Second ward went for Mc Williams. In the second district of the Second ward J. K. P. Duff was elected for lie Williams with out an opposing rote. The Democratic leaders agree that the convention on Tuesday must nominate two candidates for County Commissioner. Boyle and McWillianis will probably be the ticket, and they will fight itout at the polls. It is expected by Democrats themselves that onlyne will be elected. Many of the Boyle men are for McWilliams lor the second nominee, and many McWilliams men declare themselves secondly for Boyle. The indications last night were that the delegation to the State convention at Scran- ton would stand id lor Jfattison, lor Wall ace and 1 for Black. The returns received indicate the election of the following from the several Legislative districts: how it looks sow. FirstFrank Fertig and Frank Suehr, Pattison. Second Lee Frasher and Fred J. Man ley, for Pattison. Third Joseph Stokely and John Dunn, Jr., for Wallace. Fourth Charles Anderson and Alderman John Burns, for Wallace. Fifth Charles A. Fagan and Patrick Joyce, for Pattison; James M. Gufiy, Ed Wainwright and Patrick Foley, for Wal lace, and Thomas Mullen, for Black, but for Pattison if Black is not a candidate. Sixth John W. Snee, J. E. Moran and B. M. McKinney, for Pattison. Seventh R. S. McCntcheon and Dr. Albert Hare, for Pattison. Eighth L.F. Holtzman and William A. Kelly, for Pattison. Some of the Democratic leaders maintain that Allegheny county is entitled to 22 delegates, although the figures do not bear this out. If 22 are allowed, either the Fourth or the Seventh district will be al lowed the extra delegate. The third dele gate from the Seventh district, in that event, win ue xjt. v onnston. BECErVTXG THE EETTJES8. Last night Mr. Boyle received his returns at the County Democracy, while Mr. Mc Williams' headquarters were established at 2fo. 140 Fifth avenue. Mr. Wilson was located at the Girard House, in Alleghenv. Each of thse three places was thronged with Democrats who brought returns. Many friends of Boyle, who believed that they could control the convention, declared in lavor of the nomination of only one can didate for County Commissioner. This, twlliani J. Brennen said, would be con Jnry to the rules of the party. Y ""aere will be a contest from the First let of the First ward, where Matt anaugh was delegate tor McWilliams . Frank Murray "for Boyle. Separate .maries were held and the convention .ill be called upon to decide. There was a split in the Third district of the Twenty-fifth ward. Joseph A. Winter halter was the McWilliams delegate, and John W. Douthitt was up for Boyle. Win terhalter claims that the inspector, a Dout hitt man, would neither take the oath nor allow any other person to be elected in his place. The result was that no person voted and the board signed a certificate for Douthitt. SOLID TOE SHALE. On the south side of the river delegates were chosen favorable to J. B. Shale for Congress in the Twenty-fourth Congres sional district. In McKeesport, Mr. Shale polled a large vote, and the delegates from there are for William A. Kelley, the Patti son representative to the State "Convention. Daniel McWilliams carried McKeesport solidlv. AJAX JONES' DBEAM. A Visionary Folltlca! Mate Causes HIi Mind to lie Perturbed. Ajax Jones, the colored Demosthenes of Pittsburg, has had a vision, and his spirit is troubled thereat. He is an ardent Mon tooth man. and therefore his spirit grieves and he re uses to be comforted, even when confronted with the old adage that "Dreams go by contrairics." Ajax retired to his couch on Friday night after spending the day in de'tly scraping the chins ot a number of our best citi zens. His mind was full of politics, and he sldmbered uneasily. Suddenly the wall of his chamber disappeared, and in its place he saw a scroll inscribed as follows: President Speaker Reed. Secretary of htate Baync Governor Quay. Lieutenant Governor Stone. Assistant Postmaster General Hastings. United btates Senator Fitter. Ajax would like to know what this por tends. THE MONTOOTH E00MEES. How They Will Go Down to UarrlibnrK Next Toeedny Morning.

One of thenf was heard to say: "Major Montooth will not accept second place with Delamater; yon can put that down for a fact" The thorough understanding that has existed between Major Montooth and General Hast ings since tne commencement of the cam paign i significant, and may bear fruit be fore the convention closes. A telegram was received last night from Harrisburg, stating that the Pennsylvania Railroad had decided to sidetrack the train of the Pittsburg Mon tooth delegation at a cross street one square from the Union depot This will give the members of the partr the use of their train and accommodations superior to most of the hotels. Tickets will be readr at headquarters to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock. The fare is $7 60 both ways, in cluding sleeper and the use of sleeper in Harrisburg.

A CHUDBEITS FEAST. The Jnbllee Committee Makes Excellent Ar rnngcnieut for the Day. The proposed children's jubilee in Alle gheny was considered yesterday afternoon at a special meeting of the Board of School Control, who have charge of tbe matter. The jubilee is arranged to take place on the 27th inst. It was decided that the ground heretofore used by tbe schools should be assigned to them this year.

FATHER MOLLINQEE'S ILLNESS. The Tenernble Priest Not Nearly Bo Sick an Ilna Been Reported. The members of Father Mollinger's church, on Troy Hill, were much alarmed over the reported serious illness of their pastor yesterday. Much consternation was caused among the congregation, as they feared that he would . not live. At tne home of the venerable priest, it was stated that his illness was serious, but not such as to cause alarm among the people. Father Mollinger was over burdened by attending to all the visitors who flocked "to Troy Hill on St. Anthony's Day to receive his advice. Dr. King, of Arch street, who is attend ing the venerable divine, stated at a late hour last night that the priest's condition had improved during tbe night, that he had been overworked and in conseqnence had to take some rest and recuperate his strength. MUSICAL CHARMS. The Allesheny Free Organ Recitals Becom ing; Popular. Music hath charms, and the attentive au dience that followed Mr. Wales through his excellent renditions ot popular airs at yes terday afternoon's free .organ recital in Car negie Hall, Allegheny, manifested deep in terest in the diflerent numbers. Public taste is awakened to a keen appreciation of the favotite selections played on the beauti ful organ, and interest is increasing in the weekly recitals. Next Saturday afternoon tbe entertain ment will be replete with attractive features and music lovers will find a pleasure resort in tbe music hall. KO LOSS WITHOUT SOKE GAIN. Dnnnona Captured from an Unlicensed rd dler Given to the Hospital. Last Tuesday Inspector McKelvy, of the Soutbside police district, arrested an Italian peddler who had no license. The latter had two bunches o: bananas and three boxes of lemons as his stock of trade, and when bis case was disposed of went without them. The fruit was kept at tbe station until yesterday when hey were given to the Soutbside Hospital and the inmates are now munching banauas and quenching their thirst with lemonade at the Italian's expense.

The Family of Thomas Pryle Think His Death Mysterious. NO CAUSE GIVEN AT THE INQOEST. A Former Sonthside Resident Found, Dead in Bed at Sharpsburg, WITH HARKS OK HiS HEAD AND THROAT The borough of Sh'arpsburg is consider ably excited over the sndden and mysterious death there, on Friday, of Thomas Pryle, a resident of the Sonthside until a short time ago, and whose parents still live in Whar ton's row, on Sidney street, near Twenty fifth street His wife and parents are led to believe that there has been foul play, and freely express this view of tbe case, though, as yet, there is no positive evidence that such is the case, and all is mystery. Thomas Pryle was well known among mill men on the SouthBide, where he has worked in several mills. Some little, time since he secured work at the Elba Iron Works, in Sharpsburg, as a "drag-down," and boarded at the house of Mr. Sul livan. Thursday night he went to bed apparently as well as usual, and Fridav moraine was found dead. An inquest was held by Alderman Baird, who had been deputized by Coroner Mc Dowell to perform this duty. Yesterday the body was brought to the home of his father, on the Soutbside. BUEIED BENEATH MXSTKRY. This tells a part of the story, and there'is yet that that may never be told. At the in quest Mr. Sullivan said that be and the deceased had taken a walk early in the even ing, and that Pryle was perfectly sober. Tliey came home, and Prvle sat in the yard for a few moments and then went to bed about 8:30 o'clock. He appeared rather quiet in his demeanorbut nothing out of the ordinary was suspected. Mr. Sullivan's little boy went to bed in the same room about 7:30 o'clock. About 3 o'clock in the morning Mr. Sullivan went to call Pryle and found him partly out of, bed and clinging to the 1)edpostj dead. How long he had been in that position was a mysterv, as the little boy knew nothing of what had taken place. After hearing a number of witnesses, a verdict of "death from causes unknown" was rendered, and the relatives of the de ceased, over on the Sonthside, were notified to take charce of the body. E. A. Ward, the Southside undertaker. brought the body to the house of Pryle's parents. On an examination it was found lhat the forehead, close to the hair, was crazed, and had several little indentations in it, which Mr. Pryle, Sr., said look as though they were imprints of hob-nail shoes. When the body was viewed last night Mr. and Mrs. Pryle also pointed to a bruise on .the top of the head and the left eye that they said was black and blue, as though from a blow. HABD TO DETERMINE. However, at the time the corpse was seen, though the eye was black and blue, as Irom a blow, it was hard to determine tor a cer tainty, owing to the advanced state of de composition of tbe body. They also said that there were marks on the throat, as though made by fingers. The family was strongly of the opinion that there had been foul play, though they knew not how to account lor it. Undertaker Ward was not satisfied with the appear ances of the corpse, either, and finally Dr. E. A. Mundorff was called in to make an examination. The body had swelled and decomposition was very rapid, it being badly discolored. This" fact, with other mysterious things, had led Mr. Ward to think as he did. u Dr. Mundorff was seen last night. He said be was told that the man bad had fits after drinking hard, and he thought from what he saw and learned that the man had died in convulsions. The appearance of the muscles and other conditions pointed to the fact, together with the position in which the man was found. He said he found the bruises, on the head, but they may have been caused' by a fall during the night while in a fit SOT AT ALL CONTENTED. The family declares that the deceased was sober at the time of his death, and late last night still persisted that things did not look right, though they made no direct charge. The coffin was closed up last night, and the body will be buried to-day in St. Michael's Cemetery. Coroner McDowell says that as the man died outside ot the city, no bnrial permit was necessary, so tbe body, without further examination unless other arrangements are made will be consigned to the earth. The members of tbe family are not satisfied, and a further investigation will probably be made by them. THE LAW FOE IT. Where the Officlalii Get Tbelr Authority for Enforcing, the Peddlers' License. Thirty-three peddlers' licenses were taken out yesterday, among tbe applicants being a number of agents forfiustallment houses. Chief Brown does not expect any trouble, as the law under which the officials are acting is well defined. Tbe authority is given them under an act of Assembly which be came a law June 10, 1831, and reads as fol lows: No person or persons shall be employed, en caged or concerned in tbe business or employ ment of hawking, peddling or selling croduce or merchandise, or either or any ot them, wlthm the limits of any city of the second or third class within this Commonwealth without bavlng previously taken oat a license; and if any person or persons shall go from bouse to house within the limits of such cities to sell or offer or expose for ute such articles, or any of them, without having paid such snm or tarns as may be fixed by ordinance or Councils of such cities into the treasury thereof and re ceived a license therefor, the person or persons so off enaintr shall forfeit and pay for each and every offense the sum of Sol), to be recovered summarily before tbe Major of such city wherein the offense slialj have been com mitted, provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed so as to prohibit farmers, gtrdeners or dairymen from selling tbe products of their own farms, gardens or dairies. NOT ENOUGH TO DECIDE. The Grand Army Committee Postpone Talk Aboat n Parade. " The Grand Army Executive Committee met in City Hall yesterday afternoon to de cide whether Grand Army Day would be celebrated with a street parade this year or 'observed simply by holding campfires iu various parts of the city. There was not a lull attendance of the committee, and the members did not feel like assuming the whole responsibility in the matter, so tbey decided to call a meet ing ot the general Grand Army Day Com mittee of the two cities, to take place iu Common Council Chamber Saturday after noon, July 19, at 3 o'clock. 'The question will then be decided. CASES FOB THE C0H0NEB. A Mao Drops Dead nnd a Doy Dies From an Accldeat. Daniel Herman, aged 40 years, dropped dead at his boarding house, No. 263 Forbes street, yesterday afternoon at 2:15 o'clock. Death was caused by heart failure. The deceased formerly worked at Moothead's mill. The Coroner will investigate. Alfonto Dabruzzo, a 15-year-old Italian boy who had been engaged as a water car rier with a gang of men at Sloops' Ferry, on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Hailroad, died at the West Penn Hospital yesterday from injuries received on Friday by being struck by a train. A verdict of accidental death wit Tendered by tbe Coroner's jury. PITTSBURG DISPATCH, NOT AN OUTING. THE ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT FOR MILL TARY DUTIES ALONE. New Roles of Conduct at Jilt. Gretna No Ladles to be Allotved In the Camp at Nlflit Visitors and Their Meats What -Is Thought ol It All. Ladies will not be allowed to 'remain in camp over night at the division encamp ment at Mt. Gretna this summer, and the entertainment of visitors will be curtailed as far as possible. By commaud of Brigadier General Snowden, Assistant Adjutant General North hss issued circular No. 1, marked "confidential," in regard to the regulations of camp. In the circular he says that while ladies and children are always welcome, it has been found their presence is detrimental to military dis cipline. He says: "In encampments here after to be held, they will not be permitted to remain over night." In regard to rations, the circulars read that their consumption by visitors and others has led to complaints from the men. To entertain a visitor at table hereafter it will be neceisary to ob tain the consent of the Captain or First Sergeant. Colonel T. J. Hudson, Commandant ol theartillery service of the State, was seen yesterday, and when asked about the cir cular, said: "At the last encampment at Mt. Gretna, three years ago, I had consider able trouble on this accoaut, and am glad to see General Snowden take the matter up. I had a nutnberot complaints from the men about not getting enough to eat, and in my report to the Adjutant General I recom mended that some measures be taken to stop the abuse. We get so much money every year to run the Guard, and so many rations are issued to so many meu. When a number of visitors are run in every day and eat up the provisions, the supply will of course run short about the last two or three days. I also recommended prohib iting ladies in the camps after night. We are always glad to see them during the day, but when they stay over night their hus bands, or brothers, as the case may be, have to attend to their wants and comforts. This detracts from the military duties. The la dies have been provoked at me for my ac tion, but I did it in the best interests of the service. The idea ot holding camps each summer is to give the men instruction in military life, and it is not an annual out ing." Colonel N. M. Smith, commander of the Eighteenth Begiment, said: "I think it-is an excellent idea, and as far as the Eigh teenth's camp is concerned, the order will be enforced to tbe letter. The regiment had had iewer ladies in camp at night than any other regiment in the State at the last division encampment. The presence of ladies puts a restraint on the soldiers' free dom of intercourse off duty." Captain William M. Awl, of the Eigh teenth, said: "Our regiment has alwavs tried to impress on the men the advisability of leaving the ladies at home. They are Eeriectly welcome to come during the day, ut a soldiers' encampment at night is not the proper place lor ladies. There is no doubt that their presence in the camp has a good effect on the men, but it is contrary to military discipline." WE'LL ALL BE SATISFIED WITH THE COMPLETE RETURNS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY. Sir. Oliver Cnrefnlly Compnrlna" the Returns With Data li Ills Possession A Contrn arina and 70-Year-Old Twins An Ob stinate Hungarian In Jail. Census Supervisor Oliver said yesterday that the returns were coming in rapidly and the work was generally very well done. He is comparing the returns with the last cen sus, with recent voting lists and with tbe directory, and he is confident that very few persons are being missed, and that tbe resi dents of Allegheny county will be very well satisfied when the totals are pub lished. Further than this he-would not say.1 One enumerator made his returns Friday, but said he was afraid he might have missed some people in large boarding houses, where he bad been put off from time to time. He was ordered to inform the keep ers of these houses that they must obtain the necessary information Irom their board ers and hare it in readiness for the enumer ator or be prosecuted. Tbe enumerator ob tained 100 additional names, making an in crease of 8 per cent in bis returns. Mr. Oliver is investigating all the cases reported of persons who have been missed by the census, but finds in nearly every case that the enumerator has obtained the infor mation in good shape. An Allegheny enumerator yesterday ran against a man who claimed to be 100 years old. nud another enumerator discovered 70-year-old twins. John Slezak, a Hungarian, is in jail, where he can reflect on his obstinacy in re fusing to answer the census questions. The information was made by George Lawless, a census enumerator of Braddock, before United States Commissioner McCandless. It was shown at the hearing yesterday after noon that Slezak refused to ansner even when interrogated by an interpreter. He was committed to jail for a further hearing to-morrow. This is the first case in this district where a man has been sent to jail for persistent obstinacy in dealing with census enumerators. GOOD FOB THEIE CUSTOMERS. A Fight Between Two Electric Companies Cols lbs Rates. The advent of a new electric light com pany into Wilkinsburg has been nofc with out benefit to the business men and others who use electricity for lighting purposes. The new company commenced by cutting the rates. Now the East End Company, that heretofore had the monopoly of the business, has retaliated by putting their price at 60 per cent lower than their regular charges. This affects only the private consumers, the Wilkinsburtr Company having the con tract for the street illumination of tbe borough. The East End Company is making yearly contracts at its reduced rates, and a very pretty fight between tbe corporations is imminent. The East End Company has also removed the charge of 25 cents a month for the use of the meter. OH A SKETCHING T0UB. A Party of New York Art Stndents Going; to Makr Pictures. A party of New York art students were in the Union depot last night, busily identi fying valises and mysterious bundles of no particnlar shape, which undoubtedly con tained any amount of paint boxes, easels and other sketching necessaries. Mr. Frank Duncan was the huip m 'iiiver of tbe party. He said, while twirling a pair of very fierce mustaches: "'i- -aui j ..iiu here, or rather make this city our headquarters for a day or two. Then we will eo up the Pitts burg and Western and sketch a little on the Ohio borders." The following' are the names of the stu aents: J. H. Edmundson, W. Schwartz, O. D. McKenzie, Arthur Moran, David Moran, F. Duncan, Edgar Devigne and John D. Pearce. HABD TO MATTK A CHOICE. Over' 100 Applicants to Fill 31 Police Positions In Alleghenr. Last night Mayor Wyman, of Allegheny, stated that he had signed the ordinance granting the city 31 additional policemen, but just when he would make the appoint ments he could not state. There are now over 100 applicants for the 31 positions, and new applications were coming in at the rate of five per hour. It will take some time to make the selections. 1200-Galllnft-er's-llOG Penn Ave. Guns, gum, gtfns, guns, guns, guns, at Gallinger's, 1200 and 1106 Penn are. wsa STJNPAT. JTHSTE. 22. TO SETTLE STRIFES. Interesting Matters to Come Before the Jaly Session of D. A. 3. DEATH OP MR. EGCLES E0BINS0N. Manufacturers ire Satisfied With the Amalgamated Scale. A MACHINE FOE DEC0EATING GLASS The regular quarterly'meeting of D. A. 3, K. ofL., will be held on Wednesday, July 16, at 101 Fifth avenue. It will be one of the most important meetings in the history ot the district. Among other things to be considered is the trouble on the Pleasant "Valley road, which still remains unsettled. AH the efforts of the K. ol L. officials have failed to secure recognition from President Henry. The difficulty between the Musical Union and tbe professional musiciaus, which is hanging fire yet, will likely be considered, as will also some plan whereby the trades represented in two diflerent organizations can work in harmong with each other. Tbe reports will show that while a few small local assemblies have withdrawn, the Dis trict has made great advances during the quarter, and is at present in a good financial standing. The brass molders and brass finishers of L. A. 2003 and 1710 will hold a meeting at 2 o'clock this al ternoon at K. of L. Hall, No. 101 Fifth avenue, to take appropriate action on the death of Mr. Bobinson. Some of the assemblies which lelt D. A. 3, are returning to tbe organization. A lit tle over two years ago, all of the assemblies composed of cigarmakers withdrew from the district and formed a National Trades dis trict. Local Assembly 1374 went out and joined the National d istrict, wi th the idea that by concentrating their lorces in one organi zation tbey could more successfully combat the wroners to which they claimed to be sub jected. They now feel it more beneficial to be in D. A. 3 and are recorded on the books ot General Secretary Hayes as having with drawn from the National district and at tached'to D. A. 3. The ac'ion of the boiler makers in the direction of shorter hours will be indorsed, and other important business will be trans acted. Master Workman Evans expects to have very resnectable reports as the result of his first quarter's work. DEATH OF ECCXES B0BINS0K. The Well-Known Lnbor nnd Temperance Ijcadcr Passes Avray. Eccles Bobinson, one of the best known temperance lecturers and labor leaders in the city, died unexpectedly at his home on Washington avenue, Allegheny yesterday. The deceased was nearly 40 years old, and was the grandson of the late General William Bobinson, the first white man born in Alle gheny. Mr. Bobinson was well educated, and his father. William O'Hara Bobinson, intended he should enter a pro fession. In early life, however, he expressed a determination to learn a trade and served an apprenticeship as a brass molder. He followed this occupation for a number of years. He soon became identified with the labor question, and was at the head of the half-holiday movement for molders which was conceded by the majority of the bosses. Later he discovered the plan was injuring the business of the employers and he in duced the men to give it up. When the brass molders left tbe Knights of Labor Mr. Bobinson went with them and was made the first National Master Work man of their union. He was elected as a delegate to D. A. 3, in 1887, and in 18S8 was elected Worthy Foreman of that organiza tion under John F. tDoyle, Master Work man. Mr. Bobinson represented the Pitts burtr Tube Works strikers before the Arbi tration Committee a few years ago, and won the strike for the men The last work he did as a labor advocate was to fill the posi tion of associate editor o( the Commoner and Glasstcorker, which he did in an able and creditable manner. He was a bright, genial gentleman, a fluent orator and ns a temperance advocate, held meetings in a number of cities throughout the country. He was associated with Francis Murphv for two years, and did much effective work in the temperance line. He stumped the State of Indiana for Harrison, and was credited by Chairman Huston with being one of the most effective workers in the last campaign. The deceased leaves a wife and and child. SETTLED THE STEEL SCALE. Manufacturers Satisfied With Iho Demands of tbo Amalgamated Blen. The Amalgamated Association settled the steel wage scale yesterday. The men in the steel departments wanted a 10 per cent ad vance this year, and their demands created a pretty warm discussion in the convention. The scale was finally settled satisfactory. As for the Western iron scale the manu facturers appear to be pleased, and the indi cations are that the document will be signed without any difficulty. Several manu ac turers have already told members of the as sociation they would sign. Under the rules of the Amalgamated Association it must be sinned by July 15. It is now about settled that tbe convention will adjourn next Wednesday. HEW TBADE DEPABTUBE. Chambers-McKre Adding- Another Branch to Their Grenl Factory. The Chambers-McKee Company has put in a Tilghman & Matthewson sand blast machine, with which they propose to ob scure and decorate glass. Sand and gravel and an oscillating table has heretofore been used fpr this purpoie at a few of the fac tories, but the process is of necessity very crnde and primitive. The sand blast machine will be a new trade departure. It will expand the glass industry and improve the quality of glass made. It will also be an advantage to dealers in giving them this class of eoods from first hands at manufacturers' prices. Heard Bio re Testimony. The Committee ot Investigation on the Jeannette case met again last night and took some more testimony on the matter.

Tbey Make Life Sad in O'Hara and Shaler Townships nnd on Brnnot Island Form ers Organize to Vigorously Protect Themselvrs In the Future. For several Sundays past tbe farmers of O'Hara and Shaler townships have been greatly annoyed by crowds of people who seek the country Irom city wards. LastSundav a crowd of toughs had a pitched battle with a Shaler township farmer, who ordered them off his premises, and were only persuaded to leave by tbe application of a pitchfork to defensive purposes. The grangers have formed an organization to resist the appro priation of their lands to picnic purposes, and lively times are expected if the tres passers make their usual Sunday trips, to day. In an interview, one of the farmers said yesterday: "We have stood these pic nic parties for several years, and each sea son they grow worse. Formerlv they asked permission :to use our land, but now they camp out, tap their beer, and assault us if we remonstrate. Why. only last Sundav a mob of these people nice and respectable looking they were, too camped in my pas ture, and milked three cows. -When I ob jected one of them drew a revolver, and said thev would go when they got ready. In view of these actions we have agreed to stand by one another, and the gangs to morrow will strike a pretty big snag." Brunot Island lurnishes a parallel case, though the farmers there consfder that they have an added grievance in that they pay Allegheny City for police protection, which they do not get. They say the grievance has been greatly aggravated and extended since work began on the Ohio Biver Connecting Bailway bridge, as it attracts many people. Toughs, male and female.and the latter the toughest, take possession of whatever mav suit them, and care nothing for meum et tuum, and all the inhabitants of the island would be un able to dislodge them. The island is a part of the Ninth ward of Allegheny, and pays taxes for several things of which they can not partake, but the people insist that they should at least have two or three po lice on the island to assist them in keeping city savages in order, if not ofl private property, and for that matter, all is private except the strip occu pied by the bridge company. Last Sunday night the Isbmaelitcs were caught in the the violent storm, but they coolly took pos session of the Herron Hill Shooting Club's quarters. The islanders would doubtless be almost willing to allow the club to shoot ou Sunday if its members would agree to pep per the vandalic hordes that congregate on that day. TAKEN BY BTOBJI. Sonthsldo Police Onlcers Mobbed While Trying to Arrest Two Disorderly Men. Inspector McKelvey and Special Officer Corrigan had a lively experience about 10 o'clock last night in an attempt to arrest Frank Cregan and J. B. Davis on Carson street, near South Twenty-fourth street. The officers were strolling along Carson street when Cregan met Davis and struck him a blow in the face, which was auswered in kind. Be fore they had time to gat well under way Officer Corrigan had seized Cregan and the Inspector was performing the same duty to ward Davis. Corrigan had no difficulty in taking his man to a patrol box and putting him into the wagon when it arrived. He was scarcely in the wagon however, before he leaped over the hand rail and started up the street at a dead run. He was soon recaptured by Special Officer Corrigan. As soon as the inspector had placed Davis nnder arrest he and his prisoner were sur rounded by several people who laid hold of him. In the tugging and pulling he was shoved all over the sidewalk and finally into the entrance to an alleyway. At this place his prisoner had been carried away bodily and tbe entrance blocked. In the scuffle that had taken place for the possession of the inspector's prisoner, Mrs. Hearbe had pulled and, hauled the inspector around, thrown dirt and gravel into his face and struck officer Lewis in the face with a stick, cutting his mouth severely. Davis was recaptured a short time after by Inspector McKelvey, and just following it came the arrest ol George Hearbe, who had taken a band in the scuffle. Half an hour later Mrs. Hearbe came into the station to negotiate for the release ot her son and was also placed under arrest. KHIOHTS COMIKG TO T0WJT. The Advance Guard or the Mystle Shrine Council Is Arriving. Mr. Henry Owenson, a member of Banm Temple, Knights of the Mystic Shrine, and Mr. Jacob J. Gougb, of Al-Koran Temple, the same order, arrived in town last night, and are at the Seventh Avenue Hotel. They have come to attend the Grand Im perial Council, and expect the rest ot tbe Al-Koran and Baum Temples to-morrow. Past State Councilor Evans, of Aleppo Temple, is at the Duquesne, but will prob ably remove to the Monongahela to-morrow, as nearly ten of the same temple are staying in the riverside house. FAILED TO TAKE WASHING. Mis. Brown Arrested on the Soma Charge for Which Her lint band staffers. The police raided the disorderly house of Matilda Brown, colored, in the rear of No. 37 Washington street, last night, capturing, tbe proprietress and seven inmates, fonr men and three women, one of the latter, Bertha Landon, being a white woman. The hnsband of Mrs. Brown is now in the workhouse for running a speak-easy at the same house. Business and Pleasure Combined. C. H. Booth, the pig iron manufacturer, of Toungstown, was in town all yesterday. Mr. Booth laughingly put aside all shafts of inquiry. If he had worn some of bis own pig iron as armor he could not have been more impervious to their assaults. "I am here on business," he admitted; "hut then it is my own business, don't you see? The pleasure part of the trip, however, is the main part with me." gnys Be Stole n Shirr. ' Joseph Shipukiuskl charged Frank Pnefski, be ore Alderman Warner with disorderly conduct yesterday. Pnefski was arrested, and after giving bail he entered a charge of larceny of a shirt against Shipu kinskl. The latter was in turn arrested and gave bail. Both hearings will be beld Tues day.

SOME MOKE OE THESE PLACES LOCATED One hundred and twenty Italian laborers arrived in Pittsburg yesterday. About 60 had come direct from Italy, and the others were railroad laborers whose, jobs had been completed, and came to town to look for work. They billeted themselves on the dif ferent Italian lodeing houses. There was no difficulty in obtaining quarters. Men who sleep anywhere from four to 12 in a bed don't grumble at having another sleeper crowded in. Detective McTighe, who probably knows as much or more about this city than any other one man, says that over 500 Italians arrived herein the past week. "It is only about 12 or 13 years ago," said Detective McTighe last night, "when there were but 15 Italians in this city, and they were very respectable people, belonging to an entirely diflerent class to those who are now coming here iu droves. It was' not until natural gas became such an important factor in Western Pennsylvania and created a de mand for thousands of laborers that Italians came here in such numbers. There is a peculiar feature about them, too. They always live in colonies and drive every other nationality out of the neighborhood. Virgin alley, Tunnel street. High street and other streets on the hill used to be occupied by respectable Irish. Now the Italians are in fnll possession." NO LACK OP POWEB. Inspector McAleese, in talking last even ing aDout the necessity or purifying these Italian plague spots, pointed out the fol lowing section of the law relating to the powers of Boards of Health: In case of pestilence or epidemic disease, or of dancer from anticipated or impending pesti lence or epidemic disease, or in case tbe sani tarv condition of the city should be of such a character as towarrantlt.it shall be tbe duty of tbe Board of Health to take seen measures and to do and order and cause to be 4006 such acts for the preservation of tbe public health (though not herein or elsewhere authorized) as It may in good faith declare the public salety and health demand. "There is no question," said Inspector McAleese, "that these places threaten the city with pestilence, and immediate aad string remedies should be applied at once. Their existence in tbe midst of a population ot halt a million human beings is an out rage upon tbe rights ot good citizens. The lower class of Italians who immi grate to this country do not add anything to its wealth or strength. They spend far les for living expenses than the Chinese, and tbe latter are infinitely bet ter citizens. The Chinese are cleanly in their personal habits, and are quiet and generally law abiding. As soon as an Italian has saved $300 or $100, and he can generally do that in less than two years, be puts the'money in his pocket and returns to his native country to live for the balance of his days." Detective Bendle, the speak-easy expert, knows something about the average Italian lodging house, as he has assisted in raiding several of them where liquor fs illegally sold. He says that at No. 112 Third ave nue over 100 Italians find shelter and rest. In three rooms on Hijrh street 130 ot these people give themselves over to sweet dreams of their vine-clad hills and breathe carbonic acid gas all night. Close to the Central station, off Diamond street, is a little alley that thousands of per sons pass daily without noticing it except by sense of smell. The police estimate that 100 Italians have their household gods set up therein. A,KAPID BOAS TO FORTUNE. In one court off Tunnel street a census enumerator obtained 350 uames, and it is hard to tell how many more he might have found if his stomach had been stronger. On Fourth avenue recently an Italian rented two rooms at $4 a month. If the Board of Health doesn't interfere pretty soon this man's fortune will rival that of Jay Gould's, as he has taken 60 lodgers at $1 a week each, thus making a clear profit ot $2,832 a year from two rooms. At Homewood. there is a cabin 20x40 feet, in which 150 Italians cook, eat and sleep. It is a pleasant Sabbath sight to watch 150 men baking, each one making enough rye bread to last him until the next Sunday. There are many, perhaps hundreds, of similar plague spots in the city, and the police are looking them up in order that they may be able to assist tbe Board of Health when it makes a move against them.
