TO KEEP COOL
A- Variety of Ways of Forgetting That
This "is the Hottest Summer
We're Had for Two Years.

Deaths Last Week

In the bright halcyon dog days of cummer
the question or keeping cool is one in which
everybody is interested. If some'one with
the welfare of common humanity at heart
would discover some means of keeping the
body below the boiling point on such days as
yesterday he would not have to work for a
living, and could enjoy life in a manner
now known only by the cool ice dealer or
the owner of a first-class soda water foun
tain. Yesterday was the hottest day of the year.
The mercury in the thermometer owned by
the Signal Service with rapid strides
jumped up until it registered 94 degrees.
Instead of asking each other if it was hot
enough pedestrians stopped, and, while
mopping their brows, asked: "How are
you going to keep cool?" "With a view oi
ascertaining this desirable information a
representative of The Dispatch called
upon Dr. J. Guy HcCandless, City Physi
cian and Register of Yital Statistics. The
doctor was found in his office in his shirt
sleeves, and looked as comfortable as it he
had been reclining in a hammock in a re
frigerator. "When questioned he said:
2OT SO HAED TO DO.
"It is the easiest thing in the world to
keep cool, after you know how. After
coming in from the hot street I divest my
self of part of my dotting, and allow my
body to cool off. It is impossible to be as
cold as an iceberg in summer time, but if
people follow my Instructions they would
not only keep cool, but would preserve their
health and prevent trouble. You will
notice that I .keep my house closed and
dark. It is hotter outside than inside a
house in rammer time, and when the win
dows are kept closed, the hot air is kept out
of the house.
"In the first place, I believe in dressing
"coolly and giving the closest personal at
tention to cleanliness. Contrary to popular
supposition, I do not think that people
should wear flannels. A flannel shirt is not
cool. It will absorb moisture, but it is not
as cool as silk or muslin. Popular opinion
is in favor of flannel, but the reason for it is
because it is on a wave of popularity. If I
was going out to play baseball or tennis I
1 Jould put on a flannel shirt. After per
aip1ring I would take it off, and after a bath
don a linen shirt. Instead of flannel or
cotton underwear I would advise people to
wear silk, if they C3n.
"Keep out of the hot sun as much as you
can, and if you must be out protect the
head. A good scheme is to carry an um
brella over the head while walking along a
istreet where there is no shade. If you caD't
jt an umbrella, a cabbage leaf "or a wet
sponge carried under the crown of the bat
will do as well. The cabbage leaf keeps
the effects ot the sun from the head and
allows the blood to circulate more freely.
The practice oi taking stimulating drinks
should be discontinued during excessively
warm weather, as it is not advisable. Cool,
acidulated beverages are the best. Boot
beer is not a bad summer drink, and lemon
ades and acid phosphates, if not too cold,
cool off the blood.
HEAT BAISIKG THE DEATH I.IST.
"I have just finished my report of the
mortality in the two cities for the past week,
and find it is greater than anr week before
within my recollection. People do not pay
any attention to their diet. They should
eat nothing indigestible, or any unripe
fruit. If. the system is kept in good con
dition, the effects of this hot weather would
not be felt so much. Last week we had 124
deaths, and in the corresponding week of
1889, we only had 114. There were two
fatal sunstrokes, 21 cases of choleraic diar
rhoea and five cases of diarrhoea indirectly
caused by the warm weather. There were
also ten cases of typhoid fever. The deaths
were distributed as bllows: In the old
city, 28; East End, 52; Southside, 32, and
in the different institutions, 12.
"In this kind ot weather parents should
be careful about the kind of water their
children drink. Many youngsters die from
diarrhea, and the cause can be traced di
rectly to bad water. Of the 124 deiths the
put week, 49 wcie children under 1 vear.
The death rate is 2G.8 per 1,000 persons.'"
A visit was paid to the Signal Service
Observer's office, where Observer Stewart
was lound trying to find a cool wave some
where, and head it in the direction of this
city. Mr. Stewart said: "It is the hottest
day of the year, but thank God and the
Signal Service, it will be cooler to-morrow.
The reports show rain in the South and
Northwest, and it will probably strike us
by to-morrow. This is the warmest day we
had since July 10, last year, when the mer
cury crawled up to 93 degrees. At 8 o'clock
last evening it was 84. At midnight the fluid
dropped to 80, and at 6:45o'clock itascended
again, until it reached 85. At 8 o'clock it
took a tumble, and dropped to 82, and three
hours iater was found at 91. We chased it
another point, and at noon found the mer
cury at 92. At 1 o'clock it was boiling and
sizzling at 94, and was trying to go higher.
At 2 a. reel was taken in the sails, and it
dropped to 92.5. Three hours later it was
climbing upward again, and reached the 93
degree stage. The humidity of the atmos
phere was about 4C per cent when the mer
cury was at its highest point
HOTTM THAN LAST YEAR,
"Last year the hottest day was in July,
when it got up to 93. The minimum was
53. On the 8th of Julv, last vear, it was
90; the 9th, 93, and the 10th, 93. The hot
test day in 188S was on June 20, when it
registered tne same as to-day 94. On the
corresponding day of that year, it was away
down to 85; on the 9tu it dropped to 75, anil
on the 10th to 83. The year preceding was,
9th, 88; 9th, 83, and 10th, 81. The hottest
period in 18S7 was trom July 12 to 22. On
the 17th the people baked, with the ther
mometer at 10L The hottest day we have
had since the establishment of the station
was July 10, 1881, when it jumped up to
102.7."
Coroner McDowell was caught on Fifth
avenue trying to look comfortable under the
hot sun and the strain of his official duties.
The warm weather lias increased the busi-
ess of tne ofcice, and the Coroner has to
"hustle to keep pace with it. He said:
"The best way 1 know to keep cool is to
get p piece ot ice and suck it. I do not
thini: cold ice-water thrown into the stom
ach is a good thing, and the use of liquors
should be avoided. Beer heats the Body
and is liable to put it at such a temperature
that death may result at anv moment dur
ing the heated part of the day. If one can
do without drinking at all, it is a good
th in it, and is the safest way to carry one
through the hot spell. Acids and phosphates
I do not think are advisable to ftke to cool
the blood."
Thomas M. Marshall, the well-known at
torney, was seen on the streets yesterday
arrayed ia a long linen duster that reached
to his heels. It was buttoned tight, and
irhat clothes he had under it could not (be
seen. He said he was comfortable, and that
HOW
the proper way to keep cool is to dress cool.
Too much clothing, he said, was the cause
of all the misery.
Gariett Crossan, the finest looking officer
on the force, who keeps the flies and other
nuisances moving on Fifth avenue, said:
"The best way to keep cool is to stay on the
shady side of the street and keep on the
move. I do not stop long enough to get
warm, and I always feel comfortable. If
people would keep ont of the sun and not
drink intoxicating liquors they would not
get warmed up so much."
The gripmeu and conductors on the Fifth
avenue cable cars keep cool by drinking
spring water that comes up out of the
ground on the Vandergrift place, on Fifth
avenue, at the head of Shady lane. Al
most every car.going ont and coming in,
6tops there, while the crew refreshes itself.
WAYS TO KEEP COOL.
EVERYBODY HAS HIS OWN METHOD OF
BEING COMFORTABLE.
Some Think Flannel Should be Worn, While
Oilier Consider Them Too Warm Cool
Drlnus Recommended A Craisdo
Aealnat Black Straw Hats.
How to keep cool was the question with
all yesterday. It was a hard problem.
Fanning was one way to cut the Gordian
knot. The palm leaves fluttered everywhere,
but the exertion of keeping them going only
heated one the more. A river of lemonade
and other cooling drinks flowed all day
long, but the fight against the heat con
tinued in all its torture.
Was there no way to keep cool? This
was the query that led a Dispatch re
porter to search the city yesterday, high aud
low, for some philosophical genius who could
satisfactorily solve the problem. The devices
encountered for keeping cool were as many
and 7aried as the flowers lu May. There was
no general method. The man who knew one
plau by wbicn everybody could keep cool was,
unfortunately, one of those unlucky individ
uals who missed getting aboard the ark.
The mass of people who hugged the shady
side of the street ero comparatively comfort
ablo, but there was no escape trhen crossing the
budges. They seemed to fairly fry in the heat
of the cooking sun. The Allegheny shone
with the reflection of the fierce rajs. As even
ing came on there was a grateful change. The
ceutlv moaninz river, flowinir lichtly alone- In
the dim shade of the gloaming, had a codling
charm in tho tone of its sonc that attracted
thousands. The moon, rising In her splendor,
mirrored her face In the refreshing waters,
while the newly born breezes, sighing with soft
cadence, lulled the throbbing cities to shadowy
sleep.
WATER ON THE WHISTS.
The first man encountered was James Kerr,
Jr., the Smithfield street druggist, who un
wound a whole list of cooling processes. Here
they are: "1 find one of the most pleasant and
effective methods is to pour water on the
w rist. Every two minutes all the blood of the
system passes through the two arteries leading
to the band, and when you wet the wrist you
naturally cool the whole body. Another way
is to bold a piece of ice in the hand, which has
the same effect. Don't drink ice water. If
taken in excessive quantities it will paralyze
me action oi me ner es oi me aigestive organs
and produce a shock that will end in death.
Keep a little piece of ice in the mouth. All
thirst is actually In the throat, and is more
effectively quenched by the melting of the ice."
Dr. Jo-cpli Dickson was next interviewed,
and the following information elicited: "Don't
wear black straw hats. Black goods of any
kind concentrate the heat directly on tho
brain. Many Italian laborers wear dark
head-gear, and consequently are attacked with
sunstroke. If the head is kept cool little an
noyance will be felt from the heat. Crimped
sweat-bands are the best thing out for the lin
ing of hats, for the reason that an undercurrent
oi air lias tree access to the cranium and is an
excellent ventilator. In regard to drinking ice
v-ater, no one who takes much exercise should
Indulge in such a cold drink, and especially
mill men, who should drink nothiug colder than
hydrant water."
George Elphinstonc, Allegheny's City At
torney was) found in his office, the conven
tional coat and vest discarded, and supplanted
by a linen offico coat. He said: "Before the
setting of auotber sun you can count on mo
getting a flannel shirt. I am after comfort,
and I think that is the best way to Keep cool,"
VEGETABLES BECOJIMENDED.
Dr. C. C. Wiley was asked in regardto this
all-Important question of the day. He said:
"To keep cool, particular attention must be
paid to what we eat Vegetables are the most
wholesome food that a person can take in
warm weather. In regard to clothing, avoid
anything that is cumbersome or binding to the
body. '1 he underclothing should be light and
of a'w oolly substance, as that is the best for the
purpose of absorbing th. perspiration. 1 have
found that one can enjoy a ventaDle Cressons
Springs right at home by a light indulgence in
w atermelon. It is a cool and refreshing me
dicinal agent."
Mr. Doyle, formerly of Delmonico's, New
York, now at tho Hotel Schlosser. spoke in this
vein: "In New York,where there are numerous
seaside resorts close at hand, one can take a
boat ride to keep cool. In Pittsburg I think the
best thing is a cool drink in lieu of an ocean
excursion."
Manager B. H. Johnston, of the Exposition,
was met on the avenue shielding himself from
the sun by an umbrella, He said: "There is
no reason-why the ladies should enjoy a monop
oly of the umbrella In hot weather. That use
ful article looks as well in the hands of a 'hor
rid man' on warm days as It does in the fairer
ones of a lady. It is certainly the best kind of
a salcguard against tuo heat oc the sun. Why
should you permit the burning rays to beat
down on your head when an umbrella will keep
them off so welll"
UOT QUITE HOT ElfOUdH.
"Is it hot enough for your was beard asked
of Dr. Thomas V. Shaw.
"No; if it was hotter the heat would paralyze
such cranks as those who ask If it is hot
enough."
"How can one keep coolT"
"If we could take off our flesh and sit in our
bones I expect we could keep cool." Then the
doctor proceeded to throw a little more practi
cal light on tho matter. His talK was full of
interesting points in the way of cooling secrets,
and before he was through the reporter thought
be detected even the thermometer falling.
"The w hole secret of remaining cool' Bald
he, "is to keep the sweat glands open. This is
in line with the principle involved in making
ice cream. The manufacture of that popular
refreshment depends not directly on the closo
proximity of the ice surrounding the cream,
but on tho melting of the ice. You understand
the beat required to melt the Ice is drawn from
the cream, and finally the cream is deprived of
all warmth and is frozen. It is the same with
pouring a few drops of ether on the band. The
liquid is quickly evaporated by the animal beat
ot the body, and. if yon take notice, the hand
w ill feel very cool on tho spot where the liquid
was poured. Exactly the same with the cool
ing of the perspiration. By moderate exercise
the s eat glands will bo encouraged to hoalthy
action, and if light woolen or silk under
garments are worn, the perspiration will be
readily absorbed, while yon do not experience
any genuine discomfort.''
Dr. Mundorff said that the best drink in sum
mer is water, as it carries off the beat and does
not produce heat, as will beer or any such stim
ulant. Dr. M. A. Arnholt said apollanarls water or
lemonade with alittlo claret in it were good
summer drinks. The claret acts as a mild
stimulant and also as an astringent.
NOT ONE FATALITY.
People Excrclslnc More Frecauttona Against
he Heat.
Thomas Tierney, John Adley, Patrick Fla
herty and Mike Haggerty were all overcome by
beat yesterday at noon while coaling the
steamer Sam Brown, at Brown's landing. In the
Ohio river, near tbo foot of Main street. West
End. They were removed to their homes in
tho First ward. Their conditions is not serious.
John Moon,who works at tho Black Diamond
Steel Works, was overcome by the beat, and
was compelled to lay off from work. He was
taken to bis borne in East Liberty.
All of the Southside mills shut down last
night, and but a few heats were made during
tho day. Tbo men say it was tbo worst day
tbev have met with for years.
Three horses owned by W. A. Nimlck, of the
Southside, dropped dead front the heat yester
day. Four other cases were also reported on
the Southside.
1IVEBY MEN AEE CAUTIOUS.
Tbcy Will Not Allow Hone to
Hani
Heavy Loads During the Day.
Charles F. Jahn, of the livery Arm or Burns
fc Jabn, in speaking of the warm weather yes
terday, said: "We bad many orders to-day for
coupes and other heavy vehicles, but refused
them, on acconut of the weather being so se
vere on horses. We cannot afford to allow our
horses to go out under the broiling sun, only
with a cry light load. It is better to keep the
stock in the stable and refuse the business than
kill the horses.
"We try to work our horses as easily as pos
sible, and only allow the llcbt rigs out. Another
thing, ne do not allow the horses to drink
water while out. After coming into the stable
the animals' throats are parched, but tbey are
not watered nntil tbcy aro cooled off. If this
precaution was not taken tbey would founder,
and probably die in this weather."
JUST A BIT ANXIOUS.
little Washington's Brave Attempt
to Get a Kew Move on Itself
ISN'T A GLITTEEIKG SUCCESS.
The Tuba Works Thej Labored so Hard to
Secure Hasn't Started Dp.
THEI WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT G01KG.
The glory of "Little 'Washington" has de
parted. For five years she boasted that she
was the oil producing center of the world,
but lately that honor has departed to other
fields. The oil output has fallen off very
considerably and no new wells arc drilling.
The drillers have left for Allegheny county
and the "West Virginia fields, and many of
the industries which always accompany the
oil production have followed them. The
citizens of the historic old borough used to
point with pride-to the drillers, and say to
strangers, "Those are oil men." But the
oil men, apparently, have left the place for
ever, and the only things they can now
point ont to strangers are the college and
the students who attend it.
THEY LOOKED AHEAD.
The wise ones of the town foresaw that
the oil boom must have an end by and by.
and they thonght to start another one in
their midst by establishing some manufact
uring enterprise and investing their money
in an undertaking, which seemingly prom
ised them surer, if not so abundant, divi
dends. A prominent gentleman of "Wash
ington, in speaking of the matter yesterday,
said:
"While they were looking around for the
new boom, a "man named "W. P. Tyler, of
Boston, appeared in "Washington, and be
an to talk to them about his Boston tube
mill, which was seeking a new location in
the "West. He represented to the Washing
ton people that the New England iron
works conld no longer compete with those
of Western Pennsylvania, on account of
natural gas and other advantages enjoyed
by manufacturers here, and that his com
pany would movo 'its entire tube manufact
uring plant to Washington if the business
men would give it inducements in the shape
of money, land and fuel.
GEASPED IT AT ONCE.
"The people immediately took up with
the scheme of Air. Tyler, and did all that
he asked toward giving the enterprise a
start. Mr. John Howden, a prominent
citizen and wealthy real estate man, solic
ited money from the business men of the
place, and succeeded in securing $JO,000.
This money was subscribed by A. B. Cald
well, A. M. Brown, John Slater, James
Kuntx, E. F. Acheson. James X. Mitchell, L. J.
Jones, Winfleld Mclllvain, Isaac .Mitchell,
Jonathan Allison, and other w ell-known busi
ness men of the place.
'Twenty acres of ground wore purchased
from John Hass, one mile north of Washing
ton, and everything that could be done to in
sure tho success of the undertaking was at
tempted. With the $50,000 Mr. Tyler has
erected a small mill, but not one-tenth as large
as what the Washington peoplo who out
their cash into the venture expected.
Ho bas bad a little machinery put into
the building, but it is so very small In quantity
tnat ii tne same numuor oi pieces were lateu
out of the least Pittsburg mill they wouldn't
be missed. The works were to be ready to be
gin the manufacture of the celebrated Boston
locomotive tubing and other kinds of tuoing in
May; but May and June have gone by, aud
July Is wastine away, and still there are no en
couraging signs that;the mill will soon have its
wheels set ia motion.
NOW QUITE SKEPTICAL.
"The gentlemen who have invested in the en
terprise are growiug exceedingly skeptical
about the materialization of tho tubing busi
ness, and fear they will never see tubes manu
factured there. Tho Washington gentlemen
have recently learned that Mr. Tyler had tailed
in business a number of times in New England,
aud naturally they are becoming exceedingly
anxious as to the outcome of the venture.
"Beside furnishing the money, the Washing
ton people were to furnish natural gas
free of cost to the works. A switch
has been built from the Chartiers Val
ley, Railroad to the works, and connection
will also be made with tho Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad."
A few days ago Mr. Tyler had his picture
taken in a croup of workmen, with a crowbar
in bis hands. This plebeianism docs not accord
with the Washington people's idea of a presi
dent. Their notion of a president is derived
from that of the college President, who is
never seen without a coat, who does no menial
employment, and who knows more about Greek
roots tbau crowbars.
When the mill will be started, no one can tell,
yet Tyler always says, when he is asked, 'in ten
days." The people have no substantial assur
ance that it will be running during 1890, if at
all, yet they are still willing to regard pationce
as a virtue a little longer, and see what will
turnup.
WILL SELL TEE CATTLE,
The Lnrnmio Company May Blake Enough
to Par II" Debts.
Ex-Collector John Dowten, of Greene county,
was in the city yesterday. Mr. Dowten stated
that it was the intention to sell all tbe stock
and effects of tbe Laramie Cattle Company on
account of the drouth unless it should rain
very soon. It depended very mnch he said on
whatprice3 tbe cattle would bring to decido
whether the company would come out of its
financial troubles all right or not. The officers
are entirely hopeful, and as the winter has
been exceedingly favorable,the condition of the
embarrassed company has materially improved.
He hoped all concerned would yet be able to
get out of the hole in which they were placed.
The ex-collector said be was taking no inter
est in politics, and he was not posted on the
political situation.

For each dog killed tbe officer gets a fee of
60 cents, providing the brute is not provided
with the regulation collar and muzzle.
GETTING DOWN TO WOBK.
Glass Salesmen Expect to See Buyer
Flock to the City.
Tho crop of glass salesmen at the Monon
eahela House grew rapidly yesterday. The
addition has swelled tbe number to 20 or more,
and by to-morrow it will be up to 30. Tbo
buyers from a distance have commenced to
come in, but a rood crowd is expected to-day.
The drummers state that tbe season is yet too
young to predict what business will be done,
but so far the prospects are fair. Last summer
the trade did not come up.to expectations, and
some of the salesmen argue that there should
be a good demand for glas3 this year.

Favorable replies to a number of invita
tions to the coming Allegheny celebration
were reported at last night's meeting of the
Semi-Centennial committee. .Mr. Easton,
a representative of the Allegheny Turn
Verein, was granted a place in the first di
vision ior some 500 little girls, whom tho
organization.proposc having out in wagons

announced also that arrangements bad been
made to provide Ice water all along the route
ot tbe parade for tbe marchers.
David Hunter, Marshal of the Third Divis
ion, and who also bad charge of the night dis
play, reported that the Westinghouse Companv
notified him that it is going to begin at once to
Erepare its disnlav, and assured him It would
e not only the finest thing of the kind ever
seen in the country, but tbe finest ever at
tempted in all the world. He said he could
turn on the lights in all the towers to-day, if
need be. but proposed to postpone It until the
night of tho 17th for a grand surprise. Mr.
I'ease had told him bo intended to show the
town something grand and novel in tho way of
electrical displays. Mr. Sheplar, of the County
Building assured him he also would give a dis
play from the Court House-To-day
a request will bo handed to Mayor
Gourlcy, asking him to issue a proclamation to
the merchants of this city asking them to close
their stores on the 17th, and the judges of the
county courts will be asked to adjourn for the

Mr. Snyder reported that a largo number of
Catholic societies would turn out, and Mr.
Stockman reported securing the tents of the
schools for use In the park. In view of the
fact that Thomas Sample declined to servo as
marshal of the first division. Dr. H. K. Beatty
was elected to the position. Dr. M. B. Riddle,
of the Western Unlversitv, was elected an
additional orator for tbe mass meeting.
A proposition was received from Mr. K.
Kerr who desired the sanction of the com
mittee to bold an atbletio exhibition of field
sports, races, jumping, tbrowine weights, etc.,
but the committee thought it wonld detract
from the interest of the mass meeting which
would have to be held at the same time.
Mr. J. O. Home tendered a gift to the com
mittee of a case of bdnting ior purposes of
decorating, and Mr. J. M. Schaefer, a manu
facturing jeweler, exhibited a souvenir -medal
which bo asked tbe committee to adopt of

understood that their errand was to inform
Chief Bigelow that Mr. Carnegie's visit to Mrs.
Schenley had been productive of good results,
and the main ball of tbe new Carnegie Library
would bo located near the entranco to tho
Scbeuley Park. The information -partook of
an official character, as tbe news was published
some weeks ago in The Dispatch in a cable
gram from London.

Over 1,500 Glosses of. Fizz Sold at One
House Yesterday.
Mr. A. E. Byers, the Market street druggist,
who has an extensive sale for soda water and
other cooling beverages, had some difficulty
yesterday supplying the demands of the public
for something to allay its thirst. Two clerks
were kept busy from early morn until mid
night decocting the liquids. Mr. Byers estl?
mated that he bad supplied over 1.500 people
during the day. The majority of tbe people
drank plain soda without any syrups.
Tho popular taste differs, Mr. Byers said.
One hot day it will run to plain soda and phos
phates, while at other times many people con
fine their drinkins: to syrups mixed with soda.
About 1,200 glasses per day is tbe average dur
ing excessively warm weather. On Sundays,
before Mr. Wlshart got in bis work, as high as
2,500 glasses of soda were sold at this place.

SITUATION THE SAME AT H'EEESFOBT
The following letter from the Pleasant
Valley Company in regard to the discharged
employes was received at the headquarters
of D. A, 3, K. of L., yesterday:
Pittsbueo, July 7, 1890.
Laura A. PowelL Secretary D. A. 3:
Madam Your communication was pre
sented to the Board of Directors at tbeir meet
ing to-day, and a resolution offered to reinstate
the discharged men, which resolution was
voted upon and defeated by a vote of I to 3.
Respectfully, W. H. Graham,
Secretary.
This the Master Workman expected as
the result of his efforts to have 12 discharged
conductors and motormen,who bad been dis
charged for joining the IC of L., reinstated.
The three directors who voted to reinstate
the men were Arthur L. Kennedy, S. C.
Greer and Secretary Graham. Those who
voted in the majority were K. H. King, O.
P. Scaifc, Colonel James Andrews and
William Eosoberg. Secretary Graham was
the most strenuously opposed to President
Henry's action, and did all in his power to
have the men reinstated. Ho said yesterday
the matter brought out a pretty lively discus
sion in tbe board meeting, and consumed more
time than all the other business combined.
Master Workman Erans is not satisfied with
the result, and will not let the matter rest yet
awhile. Miss Powell, the secretary, thinks
great inconsistency bas been displayed by
President Henry and bis Board of Directors.
Said she: "These mon wero discharged simply
because they dared to join a secret organiza
tion. President Henry himself and a majority
of his board are members of secret societies
and five of tho men discharged belong to tbe
same order to which lio belongs.
Master Workman Evans says Colonel Stone
bas not gamed much by lesigning bis position
on the board. Said be: "Colonel Stone bas
resigned, but he is still in this fight, and yon
can depend on it, the labor people will not tor
get him for leaving the board at a time be
could havo been of some use to us."
Colonel Stone was seen last evening. He
said he had resigned before ho knew tbe com
munication had been received from the
Knights of Labor, and it was not to escape do
ing them a favor that he did reign. Master
Workman Evans is not ready to state what his
next step in the matter will be.
DEPENDING OK THE SCALE.
Manufacturers Aro Responsible for tbe Con
dition of Trade.
William Martin, Secretary of tho Amal
gamated Association and First Vice President
of the American Federation of Labor, arrived
home from New York yesterday, where he bad
been attending a meeting- of the Executive
Board of tbe latter organization. On, tba train
between New York and Philadelphia, Mr.
Martin met several Eastern manufacturers,
among whom were Mr. DlsStOn, the noted saw
manufacturer.
Mr. Dlsston, with the others, had been in
New York inquiring Into tho various sources
of consumption, and wero pleased to find an
unusual healthy condition of trade. An early
settlement of the wages question would insure
to the manufacturers a rush of orders from the
start that is hkely to contiuue tbe entire
season. Mr Disston expressed himself as very
much gratified at tbe amicable way tbe scale is
being settled, and says that on this point alone
depends the condition of business for tbe year.
If the manufacturers refuse to sign the scale,
the people who have tbe large contracts to
place will be scared out.
BOTH SIDES GIVEN.
Positions of Firm and Workmen on
tbe
McKcesport Muddle.
"I see no probability that our company will
sign the scale," said an official of the National
Tuba Works Company yesterday. On the
other hand, President Welhe and the men
insist on an acceptance of their scale. This is
the position the McKeesport muddle bas been
in for several days, and something looking
toward a settlement is expected to develop
very soon.
Tbe position of the firm is. that if they sign
the scale they agree to an unlimited number of
things, while the Amalgamated Association
agrees to nothing. The association officials
claim that if they allow tbe firm to have their
way, it opens a door through which other man
ufacturers will want to pass next year. How
ever. It is thought tho firm's proposition will
ho accepted.
General Manager Converse and Mr. Pierce
aro still in the East, and until they return
nothing deaalta will ho done.
'PAINTEB'S BOYS ABB"HBM.

Nor Let Others Do So.
The boys who are on a strike at Painter's
mill held a meeting yesterday and decided that
work should not be resumed until their de
mands for an advance of 10 cents per day are
granted.
The strike practically cripples the work In
the cotton tie and hoop iron departments, and
as new boys would not be allowed to work, did
tbey so desire, the older employes think the
chances are in favor of the strikers.

'-' TWO SIDES TO A STORY,
Patrick Monlon, of Braddock, Tells In
spector McAleese Thnt He is a Wroneed
Maj Ills Wire's Statement Puts a
Different Phase on the Matter.
Inspector McAleese had a peculiar case
before him yesterday. A week ago Patrick
Manion, of Braddock, called on Inspector
McAleese and said that' he desired his as
sistance in finding the whereabouts of his
wife who, he said had deserted him several
months ago. He ' described himself as a
man who had been imposed upon kby his
wife, who had left him with four little chil
dren whom he was forced to place in an
asylum. He was a hard-woiking man, he
Informed the Inspector, aud bad always pro
vided a comfortable home. He said that he
would like to have the police look np his wife,
who was living in the down-town district some
where, he felt confident.
Inspector McAleese was Impressed favorably
with the man's story and promised to give the
matter bis attention. Mrs. Manion was located
In a Ferry street residence, employed as a do
mestic. She was taken to the Central station
where she told berside of tho case to Inspector
Mrs. Manion said It was true that she had
left her husband several months ago. but It was
because her life with him had become intoler
able. She worked hard to aid insupportinc
her children, and received In return frequent
severe beatmes from her husband. It was not
true, she declared, that she had left him with
the care or four helpless children, becanse
when she bad made up her mind to make ber
own living, she had herself placed tbe children
In an asylum. She showed the Inspector where
her teeth had been knocked out, and said that
she bad not gone away from ber husband until
his brutal treatment bad compelled her to
do so.
A couple of hours after she was brought to
the station her husband dropped in and was
made a target of by Inspector McAleese. He
had gained some now points, and rather stag
gered Manion by his intimate knowledge of bis
family afTairs. Manion stood bis ground for
awhile, but as the Inspector's questions be
came hotter ho got contused and finally stopped
amazed. Inspector McAleese told blm that he
ought to be locked up himself and ordered him
to leave the station.
Mrs. Manion was not placed under arrest, but
was too much afraid of her husband to go back
to the place where she bad been living for fear
be might follow and beat her. She bad no
other place to go and for tbe night was given a
bed in Matron Brennan's room.

for the last year her kidneys were very
much affected with terrible pain and also
had inflammatory rheumatism in both of
her shoulders to that she was not able to move
her arms. At first she tried all kinds ot
remedies which were recommended, and
then I employed three of the best physicians,
who gave very little encouragement, in fact
one gave herupalItogether,sayingthere was
no cure for her. Her brother recommended
your valuable Banner's Genuine Essence of
Health very highly, and by using seyeral
bottles she improved right along, the well
ing all left.-appetite is good and gaining in

A BIG HALF MILLION.
Census Eeturns Give Allegheny
County 543,000 Inhabitants,
HOW THE EUEAL DISTRICTS GREW.
PitUburg Fail3 to Quits Touch the 240,000
Hark.
QUICK GE0WTH OF MIFFLIN TO WKSHIP
The census in this -"district is nearly con
cluded, and Supervisor Oliver is awaiting
the returns of the last dozen enumeraiors.
As soon as these come ia ha will close up
his ofiice an thankfully wash his hands
of the census.
Supervisor Oliver was figuring up the
results of the census yesterday alternoon,
ana prepared estimates which will be within
a very few of the official returns. The
county contains just about 43,000 inhabi
tants, the increase since the last census being
Si and a fraction per cent. Outside the twin
cities the increase has been C2.3 per cent.
Pittsburg, it is feared, will not reach the
210,000 mark, but Allegheny has introduced
herself as a second class city with 105,000.
Pittsburg's increase in the past ten years
was over 62 per cent, but Allegheny City
made a very poor showing, her increase
being at the rate of but 33 per cent.
The figures show a remarkable increase
in the county outside the two cities. That
they would grow was only to be expected,
but that a region that was supposed to be
given up to agriculture, should make such
giant strides is wonderful. It is not so
strange, however, when it is remembered that
all the good manufacturing sites in the two
cities were appropriated at an early stage of
the game. As tbe business of these firms
grew and newmes started, other sites had to
be found, and there being; no room in tbe cities
these firms were crowded out Into the rural
districts.
A case in point is that of the Carnegie, Phipps
& Co.'s mill at Homestead, in Mifflin township.
In 1E80 the entire population of the township
was 6,483. Now It has 18.S00 Inhabitants, of
which Homestead contributes 7,90a
Mr. Oliver bas leceived a communication
from Superintendent Porter in which tbelatter
states that tbo accounts of tbe enumerators are
being audited and paid as fast as possible. The
work of paying them off has already com
menced. POPULATDia THE ZOO.

land county.
Mr. Bigelow bas purchased, for delivery at
Schenley Park next month, 20 pare bred South
Down sheep, and he is going to Washington
county next week to inspect a flock of pure
Shropshire sheep. The South Downs are a
beautiful animal, having long pure white wool
and black- nose and feet. The Shropshire Is
also a handsome breed of sheep.
Mr. Bigelow thinks the sheep will add an at
tractive feature to the park scenery.
Obstructed tbe Highway.
William Gallaway, conductor of car No. 117,
on the Penn avenue line, made information
yesterday before Alderman Leslie against
Philip Demmer, a driver for the Wainwright
Brewing Company, for maliciously and willfully
obstructing the highway. Demmer gave bail
and will have a hearing on Thursday.
Tbe driver was in tbe habit of turning his
wagon-across tbe street car tracks and refusing
to move until he had unloaded his beer.
Drew Dp a Wagon.
Some time ago tbe employes engaged In
building the Ninth street bridge drove some
piles in tbe river, necessary for their work.
One of these piles was drawn out yesterday and
attached to it was a wagon. The pile had
been driven through the wheels, and the greater
portion of tbo vehicle was still clinging to it.
The wagon is supposed to be a relic of the
Johnstown flood.
A Promising Excursion.
Tho merchants' excursion to Atlantic City by
way of the iiuray Caverns, to be given by
Percy F. Smith, of the Pennsylvania Grocer,
promises to be well attended. A number have
already secured tickets, and Mr. Smith says
there will be a good crowd. The itinerary of
tbe trip was issued yesterday.
Sooted Her Neighbor's Clothes.
Mrs. Ella Wills yesterday preferred a charge
of malicious mischief agatnst'Mrs. John Graff,
