n;-i & t t i I i TALE OF THE FL n n n s To bo ExhaustiTely Told in the Book to be Published This Fall by the Belief Commission. MUCH OP THE MANUSCRIPT READY. The Only Illustrations to le Maps Showing the Peculiar Topography of the State. BUT OXE EDITION TO BE PDBLISHED, And Qaten Victoria Mar Han to Head One Kot a B t Better Brand Than Any Other. Prof. John Bach McMaster, of the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadel phia, will arrive in the city to-day, with some of the manuscript of the proposed "History of the -Johnstown Disaster," which he is compiling for the Flood Belief Commission of Pennsylvania, His visit to the city is for the pnrpose of consultation vrith three of the members of the commis sion, Messrs. James B. Scott, Reuben Milfer and S. S. Marvin, who reside in this city, regarding the already prepared manuscript, and to secure additional data for the com pletion of the book, which will be presented to the public early this fall, and which will be a very exhaustive account of the Johns town flood, its whys and wherefores, and a graphic description of the various other cities affected by the flood, beside a general account of the receipts and disbursements of money handled by the Belief Committee at that time. In an interview with Mr. Scott, yesterday afternoon, concerning the proposed publica tion, he said: 'The book is the -result of the general demand all over the country and the world, in fact for a definite accu rate account of the terrible catastrophe. Scientittsand students have been verymuch interested, in both the cause and effect, and have evinced an earnest desire to know abont it, and then, as a historical occurrence in which all humanity is interested, it is worthy the publication. KOT ITS PBOTEGE. " Tounnderstand," continued Mr. Scott, 'that this book is sot the protege of the Pittsburg Belief Committee, though it is abont to present to the public a pamphlet which will embody all that has been pub lished in its other report, beside a de tailed account of every penny received and expended by the committee before it became merged into the Flood Commission, and all contributions made after thst, with the corresponding disbursements. In the first report made by the Citizens Belief Committee, the Treasurer, Mr. W. B. Thompson, did not go into details regard ing his accounts, and consequently this new book will be issued shortly, with a full list of all contributors and contributions, a report that entailed considerable labor on Mr. J. B. Kremer, but will be more satis factory to the public" "Was the public dissatisfied with the first report?" was the natural inquiry. "No, no, the public wasn't; not in the least; but come who contributed and whose names were not in the list were inclined to think they should have been. You know, people all like to see their names in print. Three of the members ot the Citizens' Belief Committee, however, Mr. Miller, Mr. Marvin and my self are also members of the Flood Commis sion, and as such we are interested in this larger and more conclusive publication, and are able to give definite information regard ing Johnstown and the surrounding coun try, for even after the Flood Commission swallowed up the Citizens' Belief Commit tee, the Philadelphia Belief Committee and various other self-constituted committees, we remained in the vicinity of Johnstown and continued our labors there, and I was given a very peculiar office that of "Dicta tor,' a name which the papers yet occasion ally apply to me, but a position that enabled me to learn a great deal regarding the evento of that ill-fated time. MOKE THAI? iOKXSTfiXTK. "The new book will proht by my knowl edge and by the knowledge possessed by Mr. Miller and Mr. Marvin in a general way. It will not deal exclusively with Johns town, bnt will embrace the whole State of Pennsylvania, its topography, its liabilities to and conditions that would lead to floods. The Government will give us much valued information concerning the State, gained from surveys, and the book will enter largely into facts that have no immediate relation to previously published reports; into the causes of the great phenomena, and the character of the flood, and will also cover in entirety all the cities and towns in the Eastern part of the State that were" affected by it." "Who will do the illustrating for the volume?" "There wilt be no illustrations except maps, and they will be designed to show the physical condition and formation of the State, as well as the course of the overflow." 'How large will the hrst edition beY "It will be a first, last, and only edition that we will have published, and we will all be glad to get through with that; as to how large it will be, I am not prepared to eay. We intend ascertaining the number of public libraries, educational institutions, and public institutions of all sorts wherein we might think it advisable to dace a vol ume for the benefit of the reading public, and the result of that search, combined with the number we may viish to distribute else where, will be the basis upon which we will calculate for the edition. This is not a money-making scheme, you see, so one edition will be sufficient." "How are the new books to be bound?" VVU.Ii STAND BOUGH WEAB. "That is not decided upon as yet We, of course, intend to submit the book in good, substantial bindings that will stand wear and tear." "Is it not true that some books are to be very handsomely bound and presented to Queen Victoria and the other titled digni taries across the water who contributed largely to the fund?" "I am not positive abont that I don't .know as any o. the books will be more hand somely bound than the rest, nor am I certain that there will not be some special copies. Of course it would be impossible for every person who contributed a dollar or more to be presented with a book, but Mrs. Victoria may be so honored and she may not It is probable, however, that she will, but you don't want to say so until it is fnlly decided, if you wish to keep up The Dispatch's reputation for veracity. About the size of the book, it is likewise difficult to answer, but necessarily It will be a large volume. The list of contribu tions from the various cities alone makes an imposing manuscript I do not know just when it will be issued, fori do not know how lone a book has to remain in the printer's hands, this being the first literary production 1 have ever been interested in personally, but we are pushing the work as rapidly as possible. When it is issued, and the Grand View Cemetery, together with the memorial hospital that is to be erected in Johnstown have both reached a state of completion, then the Flood Belief Commission will consider its work ended and disband. It Will be tome months be fore the various branches of the work we are engaged in will be entirely completed, but no time is being lost A PBETTY SPOT. "We are making a lovely spot of the lot in the Grand View Cemetery which the commission purchased tor the resting place of the unknown bodies that were buried in impromptu graves. Seven hundred and fifty bodies have been removed to the cem eterv, and each one has a marble marker to the "grave, upon which is engraved the word 'Unknown.' It is an imposing sight, as well as a pathetic one, those long rows of graves with tne little while headstones, similar to the Union soldiers' graves in other cemeteries. It is our intention to erect a very handsome large monument to the memory of the poor nameless unfor tunates and a very commodious, elegantly appointed hospital, as you know, in memory ot the many who lost their lives. These projects" are all carried on with the surplus contributions by the Flootf Belief Commission, that since the death of Judge H. H. Cummin, of Williamsport, consists of the following named gentlemen: James A. Beaver, Chairman;; Bobert C. Ogden, Benben Miller, Edwin H. Fitler, Francis B. Beeves, S. S. Marvin, Thomas Dolan, James B. Scott, John Y. Huber, J. C. Bomberger, treasurer, and J. B. Kremer, secretary. A COLD PIPE LINE. Composition and Fnrpjiea of the New Al IrsliouT Cooling Company Operations to bo Commenced na Soon n Possible Cool Llquldn for Customers. The secrecy so long maintained about the members of the Pennsylvania Cooling Com pany, of Allegheny, was broken yesterday by Superintendent Edward Armstrong, of the Allegheny Water Works. The com- pany was formed to use one of Mr. Arm strong's patents for distributing cooling liquids to the houses in Allegheny, by means of pipes. The idea is to do away with the use of ice. The company had in troduced an ordinance Into Councils granting it the right to lay pipe lines over various streets, but the ordinance was referred bacfc to the Committee on Streets and Sewers, by Com mon Conncil. During all the discussions noth ing conld be learned on the outside as to who composed the company. Andrew J. Lawrence, of Spronll & Lawrence, is at the head of the scheme, as President ot the Pennsjlvanla Cooling Comoany. Reese C, Tannebill. the contractor, is Vice President. William A. Ford, of the Ben Franklin Insur ance Company, is the Secretary, and Charles Hctzel. of the Second National Bank, is Treas urer. . , In speaking ot the fntnre of the company. Mr. Armstrong said: "We intend to commence operations just as soon as we got our or dinance through. If it had passed we would have had our plant iroiiig in 60 days. We do not know just how big a plant wo will need. That will depend on the terri tory we will cover. The cooling liquids will be made by the ordinary ice macuines. The change to liquids 'Hill be made after the Ice machines have done their wort, with our process a plant of the capacity of 200 tons of ice a day will give us results which would equal 00 tons per day. I don't know where the main plant will be located, as we have several sites in view. We do not need an immense plant to start with, bnt wo can easily add to it as onr territory increases."

A CALIFORNIA STREET CAR FLYER Incomlnz Trains Bringing Sporting Men From All Points. HOTEL ASD DEPOT COKYERSATIMS. Sporting men from the four cardinal points of the compass came in yesterday, on all the railroad lines centering in Pittsburg, and set their baggage down at the numerous hotels. They were out for fun barrelsof it. In the dining rooms, in the lobbies, in the corridors, there was one topic that was on the tongues ot all. Everybody was talking "horse." It was nothing but races at break fast, "Homewood speed trials" at dinner, and the same thing at the 6upper table. "Horse racing has a peculiar charm for many business men," remarked A. J. Mc Donald, clerk at the Hotel Schlosser. "When they grow rusty in the gruesome cares of business, they go to the races to tear themselves away Ironi the thralldom of toil. How do you do, gentlemen?" he remarked nleasantlr. as Messrs. G. W. Wilson and Charles E. Shoup registered from Franklin, Pa. "Wake you at C? Certainly! Sound the bell promptly, to give you a 'go,' so you can take a few hours' spin round thexity and size it up before you go down the Homewood stretch." LOADED WITH TIPS. A party of the "boys" seated in front of the Seventh Avenue, last night, filled the atmosphere with "tips" and "pointers" from the turf. During a lull in the con versation, a gentleman well known as one of the best posted in trotting circles, spoke up. "Not long ago," he said, "I was driving a trot ter in a 2.30 race, when I tumbled to the fact that another fellow was 'ringlnc,' that is, he had a 220 horse entered in the 2.30 race, under an assumed name. That game is often tried by sharpers. Nobody suspected bis scheme, and! did not say anything. The decisive heat was to come oft, and, knowing that his horse was faster than any of the rest, the sharper went around taking all the bets be could get. I methimand went him a cool hundred that his horse would lose the race. He took me up. When the bell rang for the heat to begin wo drove down the stretch together and got the word to co. All I could do was to hold his wheel till we passed the half-mile pole. Than I showed him a trick that was worth two of his. lheld my whipstock down against the flying spokes of the rapidly revolving sulky wheels. It made a horrible racket. The sharper's horse lumped aside In terror, reared and plunged and broke, and while bis driver was holding him in to get him down to a trot, my little mare, who was trained to the spoke racket, SAILED SERENELY PAST and poked her nose under the wire ft'St, a winner. The sharper could not squeal, without I taking the chances of exposing himself, so he I .1 ux M1UnB 111-a a llttln man " Talking abont tricks of tho tnrf," said another, "a gentleman was going through the streets of San Franci-co once, when he was struck by the gait of a street-car horse. He thought ho sawgood points In him, bought the horse and trained him till he trotted a mile at a 220 clip. The fiver' was entered in a race, and the fight 'lay between him and another horse. Somehow the opposition 'got on' to the fact that this horso had yanked a street car, nnd they hatched up a scheme. When the final beat came off the two leaders came down the home stretch, neck and neck. Suddenly the opposition driver jingled a little bell under his seat. The street car horse heard It, and, remembering old times, stopped with a suddenness that nearly threw his driver off the sulky." "Did he lose the raceT" asked a bystander. "Why, the band played then, and I left," and before the boys conld lynch him he had faded down the street, singing softly, "Nobody knows, nobody knows." THE BA1IP1AYEB Iff THE LOBBY.

JULY 29, SETTLED THE STRIKE. Tho American Iron Works Affair Arranged in Conference. WORK TO BE SHORTLY RESUMED. Green Glass Men to Ask 10 Per Cent Ad vance on Beer Bottles. THE JAENEGIE PLANTS UNLAEGED As a result of a conference held last even ing between the interested parties in the American Iron Works difficulty a complete seltlementof the matter has ensued. The firm was represented by William Jones and Manager C. Shivcly, and there were also prcseut representatives from the different departments, and Secretary William Mar tin, of the Amalgamated Association. The latter gentleman took occasion to point out that, practically, the puddling de partment in the works had two sides to it, or in other words, that since there are two separate trains of muck rolls, one-half of the furnaces were supplying one train, irrespec tive of what the other might be doing. Thus, Mr. Martin argued, the mill was practically two mills, and so with 45 fur naces to a train of rolls, 33 furnices would jconstitute a "majority of the furnaces" under clause 3 of the present scale. As It was improbable that more than one-half this num ber would be working on hard mixture at a time, this reading of the scale would give the men an opportunity of appealing under tho With this view the committee of the men and Tia firm (-rA.ri- A verbal agreement or mu tual understanding as to the reading of clause 8 of the scale has thus been arrived at without affecting the scale as signed. Previously to the conference referred to, Mr. Martin visited meetings of the men interested and explained to them the construction of tho clause, as given. The explanation was received with satisfaction, and the opinion was openly expressed that if the matter had been placed in that light earlier the men would not have struck work. The agreoment was reached too late in the evening to allow of the men turning in to-day, but they will probably resume to morrow or Thursday. The lodges concerned in the matter will meet to-day to ratify the agreement of their repre sentatives at the conference. In all respects other than tho construction of the "majority" phrase in. clause 3, the clause, and scale gener ally, stand. Vm BOTTLE BLOWERS. Green Glass Workers to Demand 10 Per Cent Increase on This Ware. Trouble ahead for green bottle manufactur ers seems to be one outcome of the Baltimore Convention of the Green Glassblowers. The statement 13 a bit premature, inasmuch as the scale for the ensulhg year has not yet been presented to the manufacturers; but sufficient of the intentions of the workers leaked out yesterday to warrant the assertion. When manufacturers receive the scale, as they will In a week or so, they will fina embodied in it a de mand for an increase in the price of beer and pop bottles of 10 per cent. Ihls demand does not seem large, but it will prove enongb. If sus tained, to create the biggest kind of a rumpu3 in the trade. More especially will this district be affected because beer and pop bottles comprise the bulk of the work in that line. That the manu facturers will not entertain the demand is a certainty. The conditions of the trade during the past'yoar have been none of the best, and it is claimed that to concede 10 per cent on present prices would be to cat off the little're mainlng profit. Should the men persist in the demand, a lengthened fight would doubtless ensue, and with the result, perhaps, of increasing the num ber of non-union factories in tbo country. The green bottle workers have not added to their strength, numerically, during the past year. Several honses have been lost to organized labor, and a bait may be called before any strnggle or a new scale is entered upon. The number of union green bottle blowers in the conntry is about 1.200; non-union, about 600. The fact that manufacturers are beginning to advertise for apprentices may be taken as In one sense a kind of preparation for the season. Louis Arlington, of Masslllon, O., has been re-elected President of L. A. 143.K. of L..which comprises all of the green glass blowers of the United States and Canada. INCREASING THE OUTPUT. New.Bar Rolls at Carnegie's Twenty-Ninth Street Mill. A new three-high train of bar rolls is now being placed in Carnegie, Phipp3 A Co.'s Twenty-ninth street mill, making the capacity nearly double. They take the place of tho old .two-high. The change to larger and heavier rolls was necessary in order to roll all kinds of material for heavy railway car supplies. In connection with it a larger new beating fur nace is being built in place of the old one. This was also necessary In order to increase the output. The new open hearth Bessemer converting department of seven furnaces, which is being added to the Bessemer mill at Homestead, is nearly completed. When lighted up, with those that have been supplying the plant, the daily capacity of raw basic and Bessemer steel will bo over 1,000 tons per day. The finished output of the four iron and steel mills of the Carnegie firm will be very near 3,000 tons per day. When this output Is reached, which will be beforo long, the firm will hive to buy from 600 to 00 tons of metal and all kinds of old iron and steel per day to supply them, because their blast furnaces, when all in blast, tnrn out of pig Iron but a little over 2,000 tons per day. Their present output is about 1,700 tons per day. Adding to Their Capncllr. The Allegheny Bessemer Steel Company, of Duquesne.is erecting eight additional steel soak ing pits. The capacity of the existing pits, eight in number, is insufficient to work the output of the converting mill. The St. Clnlr Rond Running.

MAGISTRATE LESLIE NOTICES A RAPID DECREASE IN ROWDYISM. The Tonali Elmnt Cowed bv tbo Prompt! tnde of the Police Two Instances Given Sadden Action Follows n Threat of Discharge Caught Bcloro Morning. Police Magistrate Leslie, during a visit to Mayor Gourley yesterday, spoke of the decadence of rowdyism in Pittsburg daring the past two or three years. Mr. Leslie has been Alderman and Police Magistrate of of the 'Seventeenth ward for many years. The Lawrenceville district used to have the reputation ol being a very hard section of the city, and bloody fights were every-day incidents., Mr. Leslie jaid: "It is remarkable how fast the Pittsburg plug-ugly is disappearing. There is not one-third of the arrests made in tho city that there used to be, notwithstand ing the increased efficiency of the police force. Rowdyism appears to be going out of fashion, there Is less drinking and a wonderful decrease in drunkenness. If this change continues there will soon be little or nothing for the Police Magistrates to do. The tough element appears to be thoroughly cowed by the promptness with which tbo police follow up any outrage." This statement was called forth by a refer enco to thn arrest of the Brittain boys, who beat Joseph Stroup, and David Malton, who as saulted Airs. .Liucy Jenkins on oaiuruuy mm. There was considerable hustling done to make the latter arrest. The police in the Twelfth ward were taking matters very easily on Sun day, and had not caught the man when In spector McAleese heard of the occurence In the evening. Then there waB a grand shaking up. The Inspector jumped into his buggy and drove to the Twelftb ward station, where ho stated very earnestly that nnless the man was under arrest before morning, the city payroll would cease to bo of interest to some members of the force. When the inspector got down to the station honse yesterday morning, Malton was under arrest. Sensible Hints for Summer. To the many hundreds of families who do not find it convenient to leave the city for the summer months the following hints will be found valuable. Avoid exposure to the sun as tar as possible; do as little cooking as you can, thereby keeping your honse and yourself cool, and the best summer drink by all odds is buttermilk. Cover your floors with cool and clean matting, hang lace cur tains to your windows, thereby letting in the air and keeping out the flies, and where cur tains are not used hang window shades that will exclude the light and heat. During the day wear a neat gingham dress and for evening put on a cool satine wrapper, bathe every day and get your hosiery, underwear, fans, etc., from Arthur Schondelmver & Co.. who have mattings at 8c and 10c per yard, lace curtains at $1 a pair and upward, window shades at 25c apiece and upward, ginghams, percales and satines from lOo to 25c per yard.

MOfiE FIRE ENGINES Needed as Reserves, in tho Alle gheny City Fire Department. SDPT. ARMSTRONG'S SUGGESTIONS. t lb.8 Present'liuinber Inadequate to Control a Big Confligration. A SCHEME TO TY0EK IH VOLUNTEERS The Elver avenue fire of Thursday night has stirred up all Allegheny to the fact that the city has inadequate fire protection. It was onl the favorable wind that saved blocks from being devastated. Although the men held the fire in check, it was only becanse the wind was at their backs, blow ing the fldmes toward the river instead of to the World's Museum and Federal street. As it was, one engine broke down and was rendered useless. Yesterday Superintendent Armstrong, of the water works, aired his views od the matter. He thinks Allegheny should have reserve engines. He said: "Allegheny is as liable to a big fire as Pittsburg. The city is full of fire traps.and yet we have only eight engines to depend upon, while in Pittsburg they can call ont 20 engines. 'There is just as much necessity here as In Pittsburg for a reserve force of engines. For 15,000 the city could add four more engines to be used as reserves. We would not need to form new fire companies. At a fire where tbey would be needed there would be plenty of citi zens to handle tbem. A regular flremau could be spared to direct the citizens, and tbey could operate under the Fire Chief just the same as the paid denartxnent does. The stokers on each of the enzines are able to act as engineers, or they should be able. "In this way the engines would not cost the city each year much more than tbe Interest on the investment. People might say citizens would not act as firemen, but that is nonsense. All a fireman needs is common sense Intelli gence A citlztn mat not be as good as a trained fireman, but under the direction of a drilled man they would be almost as effective. The great thing is to nit a fire low. Wnen the stream Is thrown on In a soray it Is converted into steam and is of no benefit, while if it is struck solldlv below, tbe bulk of water will have more effect, and the steam rising up wl.1 aid in extinguishing tbe fire. "Besides this tbo engines may be disabled and the reserves can be run in and take their places. On Thursday night the Eureka engine broke down. It was not because the machine was not good, but any engine Is liable to break. We have reserve enitines in every otber de partment, and as a milter of safety Allegheny City should bave at least four fire engines for an emergency. Special Low Prices on Ladles' Blonse Waist.
