A large number of pilgrims, partly dressed
in the Nomad costume, in their trarels
across the arid desert, yesterday struck the
oasis of Pittsburg. At the famous water
ing place, called by the ancients Ye Monon
gahela, they stopped for rest and drink.
Their tongues were so parched that they
concluded to dismount lrom their camels
and partake of the hospitality of the people
of the desert.
The strange looking people, dressed in
their fez caps and wearing large badges of
honor, were members of the Ancient Arabic
Order of the Knights ol the Mystic Shrine
of North America. They did not look as
though they had traveled over the sands
of the desert and drank sparingly of
tepid water out of goat skins. They
were sleek and fat, and had every
appearance of holding close communion
with the good things of this world. In ad
dition to being used to good living, they
looked like personages of wealth and brains.
To sum them tip in a few words, it may be
truthfully said that it is seldom such an im
posing body of men assemble under one
roof.

A VERY PECULIAR STORY
TOLD BY A MAN FOUND UNDER THE FT.
WAYNE BRIDGE.
Joseph Tincent Claim to Hare Been Robbed
bv His Own Brother Falls lo Find Ills
Aunllnnt't Snppoed Hiding Place He
May be Insane.
About 8 o'clock Saturday night Officer
Martin found a man lying tinder the Fort
"Wayne railroad bridge, and sent him to the
Twelfth ward station. About midnight the
man woke up and called to the Sergeant
Then he said his name was Joseph Vincent
and that he had been drugged and robbed of
$150 cash and a gold watch and chain worth
5200.
Vincent told Lieutenant Teeters that he
had been robbed by his twin brother Alf.
Vincent and a man named Edward Kersan.
Some time ago he and his brother were em
ployed as chemists in Cnicago. His brother
is said to have forged a check for $500
and disappeared. Later Vincent paid
the amount of the check and
stopped proceedings against his brother. In
their leisure moments Vincent and his
brother experimented considerably with ex
plosives. Associated with tbem in some ot
these experiments was Ed Kersan. One
night a large sale robbery was perpetrated,
and Kersan was sent to the Jolief Peni
tiary, where he served a sentence for com
mitting the robbery. .
Vincent said he'eame here with his sister
for the purpose of getting his brother to re
turn to Chicago with them and reform. He
said he and his sister had been staying in
Allegheny with a iriend named Conners.
Shortly after arriving here he discovered his
brother, and the latter agreed to return to
Chicago if Vincent would bring the money
to him under the Railroad bridge Saturday
night between 7 and 8 o'clock. Vincent went
to the place with the money and met
his brother, who had a bottle of sarsapa
rilla Vincent took a big drink of this, and
immediately his head began to whirl. Be
fore he lost consciousness he felt himself
grabbed by two men, and that was all he re
membered until he woke up in the station
with his pocketbook and valuables missing.
Lieutenant Teeters took Vincent to the
bridge, where they found the pocket book
Vincent had lost. He then told the Lieu
tenant that his brother and Kersan had
been staying ir some box cars over on
the Pittsburg and "Western Bailroad sidin?
in Allegheny. He had met both several
evenings before, when they wanted to induce
him to go down into the well at tbe pump
house of Brown's mill, but Vincent sus
pected they meant mischief and refused to
go. Lieutenant Teeters then took him over
to Allegheny, when they searched for Vin
cent's brother and Kersan, but failed to find
them. Lieutenant Teeters thinks Vincent
is the the man who attempted to commit
suicide in Cleveland a few weeks ago. The
would-be suicide told a similar tale to the
Cleveland authorities that Vincent related
to Lieutenant Teeters, about his sister being
in Allegheny with a friend named Conners.
At that time Conners was interviewed and
admitted being acquainted with Vincent,
The case is a remarkably unsatisfactory
one, and the police think there is eitheir
something big to be developed in connection
with it, or else Vincent is insane.
A PATBIOTIC FOUETH.
Arrangements Completed for tbe Parnde of
Catholic Societies.
The Pioneer Diocesean Council of th
American Federation of Catholic Societies
held a meeting last night in the Knights of
St George Hall, Penn avenue, to further
the arrangements for the Catholic demon
stration ou tbe Fourth of July, which are
about completed. The Montooth Band
will meet the Executive Board
and march to Lawrenceville. All societies
from Lawrenceville and towns in that part
o! the county will form at Stanton avenue
and Butler street The announcement of
the place of formation ot the main column
and route will be made in a few days by
Chief Marshal Joseph A. Skelley. The
parade will be reviewed from a stand at the
Cathedral by Be v. Father "Wall.
The Declaration of Independence will be
read in all the Catholio orphan asylums of
the two cities.
THAT SOUTHSnu: CONTEST.
A Farther Explanation of the Disagreement
la the Twenty-Fifth Ward.
Relative to the differences in the Third
district of the Twenty-fifth ward, Mr. Joseph
A. Winterhalter, the McWilliams delegate,
emphatically denies that the board signed
J. Yr". Southitt's certificate, as stated in
yesterday's issue. Mr. "Winterhalter says
only one inspector was sworn Mr. E. A.
McSwiggan. The sworn inspector signed
Mr. Winterhalter's certificate, which he
exhibits as proof of his claim. He is confi
dent of Mr. McWilliams' success.
Mr. Winterhalter has also in his possession
the following statement: "In consequence
ol J. AY. Douthitt's inspector refusing to
serve on the board with the judge agreed
upon by both parties, no election has been
held in the Third district. Twenty-fifth
ward. (Signed) Jasper Boyle, Judge.
E. A. McSwiggan, Inspector."
DISSATISFIED GIRLS
Leave the Bethesda Home and Sny They
Will Not Return.
Cora Timothy and Maggie Collins ap
peared at the Central station last night and
stated that they had left theBetnesda Home,
of which they were the only inmates, and
would not return. The girls were sent
to the Home about a week ago,
having been taken out of a house that
does not bear a good character. The girls
declared that they were overworked at the
Home, and got nothing but their board tor
their labor. They could get employment as
domestics, and had determined to live re
spectable lives.
As Inspector McAleese, was not in, the
girls went to stay overnight at the house ot
a friend, but said they would return in the
morning and have the matter settled.
Assaulted With a Sandbar.
Albert Johnson, a young colored man,
was arrested yesterday afternoon by Lieu
tenant Alexander in Allegheny for disord
erly condnct Word was sent to the Mayor's
office that Johnson had taken possession of
a court off West Diamond street, and was
terrifying the residents. Lieutenant Alex
ander, on investigation, learned that John
son had assaulted a woman with a sandbag.
1 Broke an Axle.
Car Nov 46 of the Pittsburg Traction line
broke an axle at Boup street last night, and
delayed travel for some time.
TEXAS ALL TORN UP
Over the Way in Which Census Enu
merators Didn't Enumerate.
SOME GOOD WORDS FOE MONTOOTH
From a Candidate for the Shoes of Mayor
Fltler, of Philadelphia.
A MAN WHO PINED FOE SODA "WATEE
J. B. Ashley, a real estate agent of Ft
"Worth, Tex., and one of the prominent
business men of that, town, arrived in the
city yesterday morning, and is registered at
the Monongahela. He is a "Shriner" and
has been journeying to the annual meetings
for the past six or seven years. He says
Texas is all torn up over the faulty way in
which the census has been taken, and in
many cities and towns indignation meetings
protesting against the way the enumerators
did not work.
The articles in The Dispatch about the
faulty work evidently reached Mr. Ashley,
as be was hot under collar when the census
was mentioned. He did not need any
coaching, and it was the first thing about
which he began to talk. In speaking ot it
he said:
"The whole thing is a blankety blank
farce. Out in Texas the work is not half
done, and in many towns the reports will
contain about one-half of the people, and
the other half will not be in it' The thing
became so bad in Ft "Worth that the Board
of Trade called a meeting to protest against
the work of the enumerators. This meeting
was held, and after the speeches a call was
made upon those who had made the ac
quaintance of the enumerator for their
respective districts. Out of 134 men
4 of them stoodjup and said their names
had been taken. The other 130 had not
even heard of the enumerators being at their
houses. It is an outrage the way the work
has been done, but it is all the fault of the
system. It is nonsensical to ask a man to
go around with a list of 30 questions, and
give him 2 cents for asking all of them.
When the report is completed it will not be
worth the paper it is printed on. I have
seen it stated that the reports will show
fewer people in the country in 1890 than
there were in 1880, and I pretty nearly be
lieve the report is true. If the questions
were cut down to about five or six, compe
tent men could be secured who would do
the work right"
TO CABBY EET0LVEES.
Colonel Streator Recommends an Improve
ment in tho National Guard.
James B. B. Streator, Lieutenant Colonel
of the ""enth Begiraent, of Washington, Pa.,
is at tue Monongahela. The Colonel is at
tending the meetings of the Mystic Shrine,
and, as is well known, is an enthnsiast on
National Guard matters. He has a scheme
to improve the service by equipping the
commissioned officers with revolvers. He
and Major Hazletthave written to Adjutant
General Hastings about the matter, and
something will probably be done this sum
mer. Colonel Streator said:
"At present the officers of the guard have
nothing but their sabres, and while they
may be good enough in some case, what use
would tbey be against a club? II any part
of the guard was ordered out to suppress a
riot, the officers would have nothing to de
fend themselves but their sabres, which are
more ornamental than useful. I claim that
the officers of the guard, with the staff and
line officers, armed with revolvers, could
quell any riot The Pittsburg officers think
some regulation of this kind should be
made."
Colonel Streator and Major Hazlett are
experts with the revolver, aud last week the
former put a large hole'in a counterfeit dol
lar at a distance of 13 yards, and repeated
the performance through a piece of card
board a half dozen or more times. The
Tenth Regiment will leave for Mt Gretna
on the night of the 18th prox., with a full
complement of men.
PDflKG FOB SODA WATEB.
FlttibnrB Compared With Grnnd Rapids
Horace Phillips Getting: Better.
B. D. Butler, city editor of the Da ily
Democrat, of Grand Bapids, Mich., and son
of Bev. Thomas D. Butler, pastor of the
East Liberty Disciples' Church, is in the
city. He was disgusted yesterday at not
being able to purchase a glass of soda water
and had to stake bis thirst with old Monon
gahela water. Mr. Butler is not a Sabbath
breaker, but holds liberal views about the
observance of the day. He thinks closing
up soda water fountains is next to shutting
off pure air, and said the contrast between
Pittsburg and -the city he came from was
remarkable. While he was walking around
town with his tongue sticking out, the peo
ple of his own city were out on the lake
side viewing a ball game. A Sunday game
is a big thing in -Grand Bapids, and every
body goes to the grounds after being to
chnrch.
Mr. Butler is well acquainted with Horace
Phillips, ex-manager of the Allegheny
League club, and in speaking of him said :
"Horace is gradually recovering from his
stroke, and his mind is growing clearer each
day. He still talks in an incoherent man
ner, and it is easily seen he is not right yet
He is living with his wife at the residence
of his father-in-law, Dr. J. G. Saunders, in
Grand Bapids, aud his brother intends to
start him in business as soon as he is cured."
DESTEOTED HEB IDEALS.
A Little Girl's Opinions of Royalty and Its
Belongings Upset.
A portly citizen who has been for some
time touring in England descended from
the Eastern train yesterday afternoon, and
was at once surrounded by a horde of
laughing youngsters, his promising off
spring. Alter the first greetings were over
a little one shrieked: "Oh, did you see the
Queen, papa?" Paterfamilias admitted the
soft impeachment "And did she wear her
crown?" "Well, no," murmured papa,
"she had on a very dingy black bonnet"
"Ob, how queerl" said the little inquirer,
with a disappointed air. "But her ermine
sown and jewels didn't she have them?"
"Why, no," sadly replied papa, "she only
wore a black cloak, and dress to match."
The little girl almost cried. This was a
regular black cross drawn across her gor
geous ideas ot the Queen's apparel. However,
she brightened up lor a lat question, "Ob,
papa." she cried, "the Queen had her white
horses at any rate, hadn't she?" AlasI de
nial came again. It seemed that the Queen
had only one horse, and that no great snakes
of a quadruped. Big tears stood in the wee
maiden's brown eyes. Her belief in royalty
and its pomp had been cruelly shattered.
DBUHK EVEBT SIX M0KTHS.
A Pecallnr Tale Told by Ex-Sollcttor
General George A. Jenks.
Ex-Solicitor General George A. Jenks,
of Brookvillc, was at tbe Seventh Avenue
Hotel last evening, on his way home from
the West, where he has been practicing
law for two weeks. He was in a ruminat
ing mood and would not talk politics, but
was telling stories about the tastes of differ
ent people for drink. He told a tale of a
Southerner who was appointed to a posi
tion in Mexico, and said:
"He was a peculiar man, and about every
six months he would, after taking a bath,
don a new suit of clothes and then start out
on a drunk. Everything about him would
be new, and after being shampooed and
rubbed down, be would go out and drink
until he could hold no more. 'Alter being
on a drwk for several weeks, he would
brace up and be all right until the next six
months, when he got drunk again. It came
every six months, and nothing could stop
him. On one of his sprees he got bad Mexir
can whisky, and it killed him. His wife
was a good woman, and had nursed him
through all his drunks, but this was his last
Funny way of enjoying one's self, isn't it"
THINKS THEY ABE DEAD.
President Do Armltt Son There Is Mo Hope
for the Dnnbar Dliaera.
W. P. De Armitt, President of the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company,
went East last evening on business. He
says there is no donbt about the fate or the
Dnnbar miners, and thinks all the men are
dead. Mr. De Armitt said: "I am afraid
those poor fellows are dead, and it is a vain
hope that they are still living. I would
like to think the men will be taken out all
right, bnt everything is against them. The
fire in the mine had a tremendous draft, and
spread through every passage.
"It the men crept into an empty chamber
it would only be a matter of time until the
flames reached tbem. If they escaped the
fire they could not exist until this time.
The water in the mine is so impregnated
with sulphur that the men could not drink
it, and unless they could get a mule or some
thing else tq eat they wonld starve. I do not
take any stock in the stories that the men
may be on the wrone track and going
further away lrom the imprisoned men. The
mining engineers on the ground know what
they are doing and have maps of the mine to
guide them."
GOOD WOEDS FOB M0UT00TH.
One of Philadelphia's Candidate for Mnyor
on the Political Oatloob.
Edwin S. Stuart, of Philadelphia, can
didate for Mayor of the Quaker City, on
the Bepublican ticket, was at the Monon
gahela House yesterday. He is a member
of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted
Masons, and one of the best fellows in the
eastern end of the State. He has not form
ally announced his candidacy yet, but "is
in it," and, it is said, will be Mayor Fitter's
successor.
Mr. Stuart has been away from home a
week, and on this account pleaded ignor
ance of tbe political situation in Philadel
phia county. He said: "Delamater seems
to be the man down East, but I do not know
what has been going on in my absence.
Hastings is a good man and seems to have a
big following. Your man. Major Montooth,
has many friends down East, and for that
matter has them all over the State. He
ought to get the solid support of the dele
gates from Allegheny county, and there is
no doubt at' all but he will. He is a brainy
man and would make a good executive."

SWEPT BYA STORM.
Considerable Damage Done by Yes
terday's Midsummer Zephyr.
PART OP A BRIDGE CARRIED AWAf
Electric Car Travel Stopped by a Flash of
Lightning.
A BOLT STEIKES AN ALLEKT0W5 HOUSE
A severe storm from tbe southwest struck
this city at 5 o'clock last evening. The
wind blew a perfeot hurricane and the rain
fell in torrents. For a time many nervous
people were alarmed, but while considerable
damage and annoyance was caused by the
storm, no fatalities have been reported.
While the storm was at its height part of
the false-work on the upper side of the
Smitbfield street bridge was swept away. A
lumber barge was torn from its moorings at
the Baltimore and Ohio yards and dashed
against the false-work, carrying away the
newly erected frame around the central
arch and occasioning the fall of the iron
"traveler." The barge itself also sunk. The
engineers are positive that the amount of
damage done munt be nearly $4,000.
Mr. McGuire narrowly escaped being
struck by the falling "traveler." He states
that in order to save his lite, he was obliged
to leap some seven feet on the second stage
of the false-work.
EXCITING BTJMOBS. v
A large crowd collected on the spot after
the accident, and tbe engineers found much
difficulty in keeping the throng from press
ing in upon them, while they were engaged
in rnttinf the hanering beams from the
bridge. This event will considerably delay
the work on the bridge.
A report had been circulated that some
one was drowned, and the excitement was
very great among the bridge passengers,
who soon collected and swelled into a crowd.
The charge of negligence is laid at the
door of the barge owner for not mooring his
cralt sufficiently.
The large flagstaff on the front of the roof
of the Monongahela wax blown down. The
flag caught in tbe telegraph wires, and, be
ing wet, was charged with electricity. One
of the colored porters took hold of it, and as
he received the force of tbe current, the
whites of his eyes rolled up and the man was
nearly scared white. He was asked to try to
disengage the flag, but one dose was enough,
and he beat a hasty retreat
IIGHTNING'S FREAKS. JJ
The home of a man named Lighthill, in
Allentown, was struck by lightning and
considerably damaged. The upper portion
of the tront was shattered, and mantels and
furniture through the house were demol
ished. The family, however, were entirely
unhurt, but severely shocked.
There was a temporary stoppage of traffio
on the Southside Suburban Electric road
last evening. The checkage was caused by
lightning during yesterday's storm. A car
was traveling past the second tollhouse
when the lightning struck the overhead
wires and brought it to a 'stop. None of the
passengers were injured, but the motor was
entirely disabled. ' The lightning ran into
the power bouse and did some damage to tbe
machinery, but all was set aright and travel
resumed in a short space of time. Tbe dis
abled motor was replaced by another.
OUT IN LAWEENCEVILLK.
The wind did considerable damage out
Penn avenue and Butler street yesterday
afternoon. Trees were uprooted and tele
graph poles blown down, and other damage
done. On Smallman street, between Twenty
first and Twenty-second streets, a derrick
was blown down that was being used in the
construction of a galvanizing iron mill,
owned by D. J. Wagner." The Duildiug was
damaged to the extent of 500.. On Penn
avenue, beyond Forty-fourth street tele
graph poles were felled by the force of the
storm, and the wires entangled in a confused
mass.
The cable lines suffered considerably on
account of the storm. There was not half
the usual Sunday night travel on the roads.
In the afternoon, while tbe storm was at
its bight, a horse attached to a buggy be
came frightened at the loud peals of thun
der and became unmanageable. At the
corner of Twenty-fourth street and Penn
avenue the horse collided with a cable car,
throwing tbe occupants out, a lady and
gentleman named Frazier. The lady sus
tained painful injuries about the head in
the collision. She was carried into
Stuckey's drug store, where she received
medical attention, and tben removed to her
home on Main street
THE STOBJI IN ALLEGHENY.
"Vivid flashes of lightning that nothing
but the descending deluge could have
quenched, followed by heavy peals of thun
der, raised dread apprehension among the
citizens of Allegheny last evening, when
the storm struck that city.
The fierce wind played havoc in some
places. Tall trees lining tbe parks bent
and swayed before the terrific gusts and were
in imminent danger of falling against the
adjoining buildings. Two large trees on
Sherman avenue, unable to withstand the
strain, snapped and in an instant crashed to
the ground, fortunately falling in the park,
where no damage was done. The wind tore
away the awning before Kuhl's millinery
store on Federal street, but no other acci
dents of that nature were reported.
The storm raged furiously on the Perrys
ville road. A tall tree was blown down and
fell directly over Mr. Milvy, who was driv
ing along in a buggy. He was not seriously
hurt, but had a narrow escape froni being
crushed to death.
Fell From Hli Bicycle.
While riding along the Butler plank
road, on a bicycle, Uriah Tinker, of Main
street, fell and received very serious injuries
about the head. He remained unconscious
for some time, in the middle of tbe road. A
farmer happened along and had Mr. Tinker
removed to his house, where he was given
restoratives.

RESTS BYHIS BROTHER.
A CHRISTIAN BURIAL CHOSEN BY A
PITTSBURG CHINAMAN.
Ho Didn't Want a Benthen Faneral Ser
vices Over tho Bier at the Second Pres
byterian Chnrch Interment at Unlondalo
Cemetery Last of a Romance.
Yesterday afternoon the Christian burial
of a Chinaman took place from the Second
Presbyterian Church, Penn avenue and
Seventh street The remains of tbe deceased,
Yee Soon Wah, were placed before the altar
in the Sunday school room. Many were
present, including tbe representatives of the
Chinese school of the Eighth street Ee
formed Presbyterian Church, representa
tives of the class in Dr. Sproull's Beformed
Church, and about 40 friends of the de
ceased. The services over the bier occu
pied almost an hour. They were
conducted in English, and were opened by
a hymn. The Misses Lillie and Tudie
Goshorn, Nora Douglas, Nettie Hays,
Agnes McCann, Margaret Sutherland and
Margaret Sheridan formed the choir. Bev.
Dr. Sutherland read several appropriate
selections from the Scriptures, and made a
short address on John iiid6, "God so loved
the world that He gave His only begotten
Son that whosoever believed in Him should
not peish, but have everlasting life."
Superintendent Edwin G. Gray then gave a
review of Yee's life and conversion.
He said that seven years ago Yee Soon
Wah and his brother, Yee Sid Wah,
left their native land for America. Two
years later Yee Sid Wah was run over
and killed by a cable car. His broth
er's tragic death influenced Yee Soon
Wah to embrace Christianity, and as, a re
sult of bis active work was elected delegate
to the coming Sabbath School convention by
his fellow Chinese pupils of the Sabbath
school of the Second Presbyterian Church.
About four moths ago he was missed
from the class, and on making inquiries
Superintendent Gray found him lying upon
a hard cot in a comfortless room in the rear
of the laundry where he worked. Yee Soon
Wah was taken to the West Penn Hospital,
where good care revived him; but when he
went to work again for a short period he
was stricken down, and death followed on
Friday last
When death drew neer Mr. Gray told Yee
that he could either have a Christian or a
heathen burial, but that the church would
not countenance a mixture of both. Yee
said be preferred to have a Christian burial,
and desired to be laid beside his brother
beneath the green sod in TJniondale.
The services closed with a prayer and hymn.
This concluded, tbe Chinese present, with
the teachers of the Sunday school, followed
the hearse to the TJniondale Cemetery,
where, alter a short prayer by Mr. S. B.
Sloan, of the Eighth Street Presbyterian
Church, the remains of Yee Soon Wah were
interred and left to mingle with the dust of
his brother.
FELL SOWN THE MOUNT.
The Sad Plight or a Man Who Missed His
Footing la the Dark.
Yesterday morning about 2 o'clock the
officer on duty at the Southside station of
the Panhandle Bailroad heard moans pro
ceeding from Sycamore street, at the foot of
Mt Washington, in the rear of the station.
He notified Officers Schnck and Allstadt,
who investigated and found a man in an un
conscious condition lying in the waterway
that skirts the foot of tbe hill. His head
and face were terribly cut and swollen, his
clothing was badly torn and be appeared to
be bruised from bead to foot He was re
stored to consciousness through the officers'
efforts, and to them he said that he
did not know how he had
been injured or how he got into
the peculiar situation where he was found.
He gave the name of John Doyle, of Madi
son avenue, Allegheny, but later said bis
home is in Washington, Pa. He had been
on Mt. Washington during the night, and
is thought to have attempted to walk down
tbe steep hillside by way of a path that
leads down from near the residence of Super
intendent Awl, of the Monongahela In
cline. "
He was removed to the Homeopathic Hos
pital in the patrol wagon. At the hospital

ous. One leg is sprained, and he sustained

NEW LABOR PROBLEM.
Tbe Short-Hour Flan is a Menace to
Northern Manufacturers,
0WIKGT0 CHEAP SOUTHERN LABOR
Eesolutions of Brass Workers on the Death
of Mr. Kobinson.
MEETING OF M1XEE3 AND TBASEE8
General Master Workman Powderly. of
the Knights of Labor, thinks he has dis
covered what will prove to be a
strong menace to Northern manufacturers.
While theNorthern workmen are endeavor
ing and succeeding in many instances to se
cure shorter hour;, the Northern manufact
urers are trving to solve the question:
"What will the labor organizations do to
keep the factory hands of tbe South from
working 10 to 15 hours a day?" The mat
ter has been brought to tbe attention of Mr.
Powderly by a Cincinnati manufacturer,
who says he is willing to operate his fac
tory on the short-hour plan, bnt he cannot
afford to do so as long as Southern factories
have the advantage of short wages and long
hours. Mr. Powderly1 has written a letter
on the subject, which was received in the
city yesterday, in which he says:
me. powderly surprised.
"I was already aware of the fact that the
field of factory operations had been widened
and developed wonderfully within the past
five vears; but when I passed through tbe
South last November I could not help but
notice the great change in the appearance
of tbe country and the work-day life of the
inhabitants. In the iron and coal belts of
the Sonth the change is even more marked,
for rolling mills, blast furnaces and iron
foundries have been put in operation, and
with an inexhaustible supply of coal and
iron within speaking distance of the mills,
with good railroad facilities and with plenty
of determination, money and push, the peo
ple who operate these concerns are reaching
out to take the-market that the Pennsyl
vania rolling mills and blast furnaces once
felt so secure in possessing.
willing to tvohk cheaply.
"They get fuel and cotton cheap, and
right at the door of tbe mill; workmen are
not so independent as in tbe North, and
they are willing to work as long as they can
stand on their legs, and at low wages. Man
ufacturers can, therefore, afford to sell their
product much cheaper than Northern man
ufacturers. If the Northern, Eastern and
Middle States find themselves forced to lower
the standard of wages to successfully com
pete with the South, who will receive wages
enough to buy what is manufactured? Tbe
only solution of the problem is to raise the
standard of labor in the South, and the
manufacturers must assist in accomplish
ing it."

Stained GIan Window In Xmmaaael
Cbareb, Allegheny A Pltubarger'a Gift'
In Memory of a Friend.
During the past week there was placed ia
tbe north end of Emmanuel Church Alle
gheny, a costly window, the gift 0f Mr.
James B. D. Meeds, Treasurer of the Dol
lar Savings Bank, as a memorial of his af
fectionate regard for the late Malcom Hay
Esq., who, at the time of his death, was the
attorney of the Dollar Savings Bank, as
well as First Assistant Postmaster General
under Cleveland's administration. The
work was executed by the Tiffany Glass
Company, of New York, and was designed
specially by their artist alter an inspection
of the interior of the church. It consists of
three panels, the center being somewhat the
larger, each about 12 feet high and three
feet wide, the whole being filled with the
finest staiued glass.
There is no painting or enameling, but all
the color is in the glass itself, and in some
places two thicknesses are emploved to pro
duce the desired tone. Tbe design consists
of a center panel, containing a jeweled
cross, with a peacock in each of the lower
sections, made by the upright and the arms
the symbolism being the seven-hued rain
bow which surrounds the throne ot God in
St John's vision. In the space above the
arms are two disks of opalescent glass. The
head of the window contains a vase, out of
which springs a vine with clusters of grapes,
the whole snrmounted by a brilliantly
jeweled crown.
The side windows are simple in design,
being filled with graceful scrollwork, en
closed in columns of opalescent glass and
heavily studded with jewels, while the half
circular heads are gorgeously decorated
with vases, out of which spring vines with
grape clusters. The effect of the whole win
dow is strikingly fc.illiant while the har
mony of color is something very pleasing
the design unique. It is understood that
the cost was about $1,100.
In the center panel there is an inscription
as follows: "This window is erected to the
memory of the late Malcom Hay, Esq., by
J. B. D. Meeds, of Pittsburg, as a testi
mony to his personal worth and as a memo
rial of long and affectionate friendship."
