HEE3 fS'rT7WI""n ' 'ism- s THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, TUESDAY. JULY ' 29. 1S90. I ? i I SOMETHING TO BOOT Mayor Gourley Figures That the Poor Farm Property Will Sell for More Than Enough TO PAT FOR A J.J5W INSTITUTION A Financier Sees Onlj a Fair Profit for the - Syndicate if it's Offer is Accepted. CHIEF ELLIOTT TEEI WELL SATISFIED. Ke Tsiaks a Cit7 Hospital Can be Gotten Oat of the DeaL Mayor Gourley is watchinz the sale of the Poor Farm. He is cot prepared to state just what the property is worth, as be says that in his own real estate deals he has sot been remarkably successful. He gen erally paid too high a price for the property, and when he was ready to sell there was not a great margin of profit for him. In talking of the matter yesterday after noon he said: "There is one point I am determined upon, and will press to the best of my ability and power. The proceeds pf the sale of the Poor Farm must be sufficient to purchase a new site and erect a suitable building. I will not consent to haTe the citizens of Pittsburg taxed to make np a deficit. "While the Mayor was talking Mr. H. S. A. Stewart, a prominent real estate dealer, and a director in the Freehold Bank, and Mr. A. F. Keating walked into the Mayor's office and joined in the conversation. A FAIR OFFER. Mr. Stewart thought that Black &Baird's bid of $132,100 was a fair one. He admitted that they would probably make a profit, but not an extraordinary one. He figured on cutting np the property into lots 25x150 feet. Allowing for streets and alleys, each lot would represent a depth of 192 feet. This would give a lot frontage to the acre of 230 feet, which at the price bid by Black & Baird, would represent a first cost of 512 60 per foot front, or 5315 per lot of 25 feet front. These lots, in Mr. Stewart's es timation, should aTerage, taking the entire plan, 5500 a lot, leaving a margin of 5185 per lot. Prom this is to be deducted the interest on the money paid for the portion of the property reserved by the city for three ears; the cost of plotting the land, clerical work, etc, the usual expenses of a real estate business, advertising, making a deed for each separate lot, and in many cases making out mortgages for a large portion of the purchase money. JfOT irjfDEfG MONET. Altogether Mr. Stewart considered that while Black & Baird's offer was a good business venture, it was cot exactly finding money, as it would require considerable capital and business tact to bring to a suc cessful conclusion. He said it would be from three to five years before all the prop erty could be disposed of, and during that time the money invested in the farm wonld be tied up. The Mayor asked Messrs. Stewart and Keating for information as to the cost of a new building with the latest improvements. He thought tne building should be erected with a view to the future, but to this Mr. Keating demurred. He held that with the rapid improvements being made in every branch of the industrial arts and sciences, a bnilding erected now would be antiquated in ten years' time. He tbonght the best war wonld be to put up a building in such & manner that additions could be made to it in the future as the necessity arose. Prom his experience, and in this be was corrobor ated bv Mr. Stewart, he thought that from 5150,000 to 5200,000 would put up a magnifi cent bnilding entirely adapted to the needs of a City Poor Farm, this sum including the furnishings. BOOMING A SITE. Mr. Stewart then mentioned the fact that he was interested in the sale of a site for the farm near Parnassus. It is in "Westmore land county and 19 miles from this city. He wanted 5700 an acre, or 5186,000 for the whole tract The land, he claimed, was ex cellent for firming, had bounteous springs and a river front of about a third of a mile. He further said that all the brick needed for the new building could be made on the farm at a very low price. He was confident that if the board visited the property they would become en amored of it Mr. Stewart stated that he had refused an option of 5750 an acre tor it The city was good and sure pay, and that was a great featcre in a real estate transac 1 tian. Mr. Stewart Knows the farm is un derlaid with coal, and thinks there is nat ural gas there also. Chief Elliot, Chiet of the Department of Public Charities, and the man who has the most to say about the sale of the Poor Farm, is well satisfied with the bids made. although he would be only too hap py to get more for it if he could. He said: "Forty years ago the city paid 59,000 for the Poor Farm property, but circumstances have arisen which have caused a remarkable increase in. its valne, and the city is now offered 5132,000 for it PLEASAXTLT SUKPEISED. "I was greatly astonished when we opened the bids on Saturdav, for I did not expect to get 3n offer for over 5350,000. With this sum the city can pay 5200,000 for the right kind of a location for the new farm, erect magnificent buildings with ample accomo dations and all the latest improvements, and still have 540,000 or 550,000 Iert This xaousy might be put Aside as a nucleus for a fund for the erection of "a city hospital, which is greatly needed. "With this amount on hand the city wonld be justified in com mencing this work. Mr. C. L. Magee, in speaking a few days since of the 6ale of the Poor Farm property, said he favored its purchase for a manufac turing site, as he thought it would inure to the benefit of the city as well as the county at large. He held that wherever a manu facturing establishment is located dwellings will naturally follow, and if the farm prop erty was sold for this purpose, it would not belong until the rural land around it would be solidly built up. LOOKING FOE ASSESSMENTS. Among the different sites offered the city for a Poor Farm are mentioned those of JohnT. Hay, on the Yough, at 5600 an acre, and the Bamsey farm, on the Monon gahela, owned by J. W. Kuhn. These are probably assessed in some other names, as the township assessors' books in town ships thereabouts do not show them. The land offered by Black & Baird, some 20 miles up the Mocongahela river, 250 acres at $750 pen acre, is the Wylie tract. It is assessed at 555 and 595 an 'acre on the authority of a gentleman connected with the Court House. Mr. Baird did some figuring ou the bid his firm had made tor the Poor Farm, and he said that at 5000 a lot there would not be much money in the affair. He talked as though he thought 5132,100 was rather too large for a sate margin. Some say that Black & Baird will take 5600 an acre for the "Wylie tract, baton this head Mr. Baird did not enlarge. Will Hear Billr Sunday. Williamsburg will have an opportunity to morrow of bearing W. A Sunday, the well known baseball player and member of tbe Allegheny National League club. Mr. Snnday is an earnest Christian, and takes part in de votional exercises in nearly every city he plays In. He is to deliver a short address in tbe Williamsburg Reformed Presbyterian Church to-morrow evening. AN ENGLISHMAN'S VIEWS. Jerome Voit Spcnks of Encland's Terror They l'eor the BIcKlnler Bill Will Pass be Semite Blaine's Moves CrenteGrcat Consteruitlon. Aboard the limited last night was Jerome "West, an Fnglishmanby birth and a cosmo politan by circumstances. He owns prop erty in New Zealand, Arizona and in En gland. His holdings of property in Arizona are extensive and for fear that some time he might be compelled to dispose of his lands because of bis foreign birth, he became an American citizen some rears ago by holding a residence In Now York City. He is now on tils way to Arizona. In Sheffield, England, he Is interested in one of the large cutlery manufactories. When asked concerning tbe condition of affairs In England lie replied: "All England is stirred npover the McKin ley bill and this is especially trno of the cutlery makers. We feel almost convinced tbe bill will pass tbe Senate as it came from the House. It will undoubtedly be disastrous to English interests. American cutlery is atreaflyciving ns a bard Qgbt in this country. Tbe McKInley bill has also exercised a number of tho other brancbes of trade in England. Some of tbem have passed resolutions concerning it. and I fear they will be but a further spur to urge tbe Senate to pass it. "The condition of affairs in America is favor able to a high tariff. Tbe country must levy a tax on imports to pay tbo enormous pension rolls and tho other expenses of the Govern rnent. In England it would not do for wo have to import our raw material and our food. In America it appears necessary and we do not hope for a reasonably low American tariff for many years. ir we cannot fight Americans on their own ground we will contest every Inch on tbe outside. .Much fear is felt in England over tbe growth of trade between the United States and the South American countries. That is caused by Blame and in fact be is tho only American England is afraid of and bis reciorocity scheme is causing much consterna tion." A CUT IH A TEAB. Gllt-Eilcrd Prices for Lands That Were rnrma a. Frvr Month Abo. E. C. Darley and W. T. Case, iron men of Louisville, Ky.. are at the Duquesne. Mr. Darley is a representative of the firm of J. P. Witberow Co., furnace builders, and is en raced in constructing eight furnaces at vari ous places In Kcntncky, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. He says the growth of the South is far beyond the wildest booms of the West and yet it seems not so much a boom as a steady growth. -One third of those States." said he, "are now laid out in lots not town lots,but city lots. They no longer sell by the lot, but by the foot front. At ;he last auction of ground at Mid dlesborouch. on tbe border between Kentucky and Tennessee, the sales of tbe day amounted to SbOS.COO. Tbey shut down then and refused to sell any xnbrc lots. Tbe highest price paid wasHIO per foot front. Middlesborough is a town only ten months old, and has a popula tion now of 5,000 inhabitants. It has two iron furnaces and one 300 basic steel plant under construction." On politics Mr Darley said that while he was partly a Democrat and partly a Republi can, be believed tbe force bill would be a good tbinclor tbe South. Tbe better class of men, he said, did not oppose it, and the idea of a boycott was ridiculous. He did not believe there was any danger of the negroes coming in power, although they were strong enough to carry tbe elections in some places. The negroes, said he, will not stick together as well as white men, and he will sell his vote rather than cast bis ballot to smt himself. Tbe force bill wonld give a full ballot and would not do any harm." NOW THE ACCEPTED TIME, September 4 and October 4 Important Dates to Would-Be Voters. If yon feel like saving the country, or at least tbe State, this fall, it is about time you should look to your qualifications, as a scrutiny may save you trouble. Your name may not be on the registry assessor's list. Assessors are re quired to expose those lists at polling places not later than next Monday, and, as even voters of long standingmay not be on those lists, they should examine them, and omissions will De rectified by tbo assessors. If you have moved latelv, or intend moving before September 4, it will be well to visit tbo assessor and see that your credentials are as sured by registry before that date, as it is the last day for assessment. A naturalized citizen should take his papers along, as an assessor or a judge of election is not obliged to accept such naturalization on faith. October 4 is the lait day for naturalization in time for voting at next election, and papers declarative of inten tion must also be shown an assessor before the applicant's name can be recognized in the registry. Persons between 21 and 22 vears of age can "vote on age," as it is expressed without pay ment ot poll tax, but such must also be assessed.

The other inmates are girls about 20 years of age. The men either feigned inability to speak English or refused to talk.

They state that Biddan broke bis leg in trving to get away, and think he cannot be far off. "WILL HAVE A GOLDEN FRONT. Points on the New Theater From a Phila delphia Architect. Pittsburg architects are in the midst of a busy season and J. D. Allen, an expert from Philadelphia, now stopping at tbe Hotel Schlosser, has been engaged to prepare the plans for the new Duauesne Theater.

AD06P0DBD CERTAIN The Humane Society to Meet To-Day and Discuss Some Measures FOE CHIEF BUOWxYS APPE0TA1. It Will Freely Contribute Money to Help fay the Expenses. WHAT MEMBERS THINK OP THE IDEA A dog pound, where stray canines may be incarcerated before their spirits are wafted to the great beyond and their carcasses con verted into fertilizer, is now a certainty. No more will the dull-eyed yellow cur, after masticating a tempting bit of 25-cent beef, loaded with strychnine, stagger through the streets, with the appearance of being on a three-story jag. The,plans of the Humane Society for the solution ef the dog question have about -matured, and as soon as the necessary legislation can be en acted the dog pound will be established. The regular meeting of the Humane So ciety will be held to-day, and the report of Agent O'Brien in regard to the disposition to be made of the surplus curs will be read. The agent has written letters to the humane societies in halt a dozen, cities, asking for copies of their laws in regard to the killing of summer curs. Mr. O'Brien has also been in consultation with a number of others, and in his report will recommend the establish ment of a dog pouud. Frank "W. Smith, Esq , the solicitor of the society, will meet Chief Brown, of the Department of Public Safety, to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock, and talk over the matter. Mr. Smith wants a ponnd. Chiet Brown Is of the same opin ion in regard to the disposition of the dogs, and the members of the society coincide with tbe views of Mr. Smith. "Willi. SEE IT'S SUPPORTED. If necessary, tbe members of the society say they will subscribe enough money to assist in tbe maintenance of the institution. The expenses will be met by the receipts from the redemption of dogs, and if there is a deficit the society will meet it. At the meeting to-day Agent O'Brien will make a reDort in the case of Police Officer Fred Ludwig, who was charged and given a bearing before Alderman Reilly yesterday for poisoning a dog owned by Ernest Scbwartz walder, of No. 493 Fifth avenue, a week ago yesterday. The officer. In company witn Ser geant Berry, of the Eleventh ward station bouse, went into Schwartzwalder's stable at 6.50 o'clock on tbe morning of tbe 21st, and while the Sergeant was looking at some pups, the officer, it mi supposed, gave a button to tbe mother of tbe litter. William Ferris, Annie Evans and Eegene Schwartzwalder. the owner of the dog. testified to seeing the officer pet and fondle the animal. One of tbe witnesses also saw a package of something in the officer's hands, bnt did not see him in the act of giving the dog anything ont of the packace. The doc was in perfect health 10 minutes before tbe officer went near It, and 10 minutes afterward it developed symp toms of poisoning. Tbe animal was in such agony that it bad to be shot. All tbe testimony against the officer was merely circumstantial, and nothing positive developed. President Eaton and Azent O'Brien were present at the hearing, and although evervbody believed tbe officer guilty, tbe Alderman had to discbarge bim. Mr. Ludwig was defended by Assistant City Solicitor Clar ence Burleigh, and swore that he did not poison Schwartzwalder's dog. In addition to this he swore that be had not poisoned any dogs at all, and he beloncs to the First police district. When Attorney Smith was asked if he would appeal and take the case to court be said: 'While we are certain that Ludwig killed the dog, we have no positive evidence against mm ana cannot mane out a conviction. The dog was chained on tbe prem ises of the owner, and we do not think tho police officer carried out his instruc tions in regard to killing dogs at large. We cannot do anything under the present laws and want the latter amended. We have no objections to ridding the streets of the thou sands of stray dogs running at large, bnt we do object to the Inhuman method of poisoning them. We think the dogs could be killed with out inflicting unnecessary torture upon tbe animals, and we will soon have a way of doing it in a decent and humane way." "What do tou propose to do about itf" THE PLAN" PROPOSED. "Well, tbe society will meet to-morrow and take steps to establish a dog ponnd. to be un der the direction ot tbe Department of Fnblic Safety. I will have a conference with Chief Brown at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning, and we will outline what shall be done. Mr. Brown admits that poisoning or shooting dogs is not the most humane way ot getting ria oi mem, ane lie is willing to do anything that will be an improvement on tbe present system. He thinks a dog pound is a good thing, and I do not think the ex penses would be heavy. Tbe dogs could be taken up and kept in a safe place for 24 hours, and if not claimed by tbe owners, they could be drowned. If a dog is taken np and redeemed by his owner, the latter should be compelled to pay SI or $2. as the fine may be. I am sure this money would be sufficient to pay tbe expenses of tbe institution, and if it not, tbe Society will make np the deficiency." "Would you have tbe police officers do the work of catching the dogs and bringing them to thepoundf" "No. I would rnn the business after the plan pursned in New York. 1 would have regular dog catchers, with nets, go through the streets and pick up every canine found running at large without a muzzle. The animals should be carted to the pound in a wagon, and tbe salaries of tbe catchers would be paid cut of the redemption money. Better still, tbe fall master could do tbe work. He could keep the animals alive in a shed, and at the expiration of the allotted time, put them in a cage and drown them. This plan would obviate tbe necessity of carting tbe dead car casses through the streets from the pound to tbe fallmaster's. I think tbe latter IB the proper man for the work, and the pound sbould be connected with bis establishment." President Eaton, of tbe society, was asked what he would do about permanently stopping tbe poisoning of dogs by tbe police officers. He said: "We will certainly fight the thing, and do everything in our power to stop tbe inhuman work. I think, after tbe meeting to-morrow, we will have a pan for the establishment of a pound, and the dogs will be put to death without writhing in tbo agonies or poison. We want to see tbe surplus dogs disposed of, but do not want them made to suffer. Mr. Brown is with us, and a pound is now an assured thing. ' SOMETHING IN VIEW. Mrs. II. Lee Mason, President of the Do mestic Training School and a prominent mem ber of the Humane Society, was seen at her residence on Ellsworth avenue, and wbllo averse to being interviewed for publication, said: ' "Wo will get reports to morrow, and after the matter is discussed we will adopt something for tbe approval of Chief Brown, in tbe way of a dog ponnd. Mr. Brown treated our committee with tbe utmost courte sy, and we are sure be wants to do what is right about the matter. We want a placo wbere the- dogs may be kept for a short time.anaunot reclaimed, then put to death as early as possi ble. I wonld favor killtnc tbem by ras. and do I not think tbey should be poisoned or shot," "What do you minK oi tne upino lonostaogs atBattersea, London?" "I think it an excellent idea, and was much pleased with the article about it in The Dis patch. Such an institution wonld be agreat thing here, but Pittsburg Is not as large a city as London by any means." The Duquesne Kennel Clnb, composed of well-known sportsmen of this city, has taken up tbe matter and will co-operate with the Humane Society for better measures to dis pose of tbo animals. Tbe club bas adopted the following resolutions: "First Tbis club believes tbe general order recently issued by tho Department of Public Safety for the destrnctlon of dogs to be wrong ful and illegal, and denounces tbe manner and methods pursued by tbe officers in executing tnose oruera aa uuui urum ana cowaraiy. h BEQUEST FOB A POUND. Second This club requests the city author ities to establish a ponnd, wherein dogs run ning at largo and lawfully taken shall be re tained; and that public notice shall be given and reasonable time allowed to owners to re deem dogs so taken; and that dogs unclaimed shall be put to death in the most hnmano man nerpossible. "Third That this club will assist, and. in vites the co-operation of everv one in the pros ecution of all persons, official or private, who may be guilty of unlawfully killing or injuring any dog whatsoever." The case against Officer Bagley for shooting a small terrier, owned by J. B. Ehler.a butcher, at tbe corner of Gist and Forbes streets, was also heard by Alderman Reilly yesterday. The latter reserved his decision, probably on account of the fact that the dog is still alive, and the officer being a poor marksman. BARNUM'S B1G-EUSINESS, OVER THIRTY THOUSAND PEOPLE ATYES TEBDAY'8 PERFORMANCE. Great Numbers Tnrnod Away Last Night A City Under Canvas Standing; Knee Deep In Money Death of Ono of Diana's Baby Cabs. Streets leading to the Exposition grounds, Allegheny, were filled with people last night pushing and crowding in their eager haste to get to tbe circus grounds. An immense throng gathered at the entrance, and in a short time the tents of Barnum & Bailey's "greatest show" were packed with people. Seven teen thousand men, women and children crowded under the hugo canvas. Rising from the lowest seats on the ground to the topmost boards, the vast auditorium was black with people, while thousands moved around the hip podrome. Outside, at the entrance, lively scenes were enacted. Shortly before 8 o'clock the edict went forth that no one else could be admitted to the show excepting those holding numbered reserve seat tickets. It is a cast-iron Barnum law to refuse admittance after the tents are full, in order to preserve order and properly pro vide for tbe comfort of tbe early comers. Thou sands, who had purchased the requisite paste board, clamored for entrance, but It was too lato. It was an aggravating circumstance, bnt the unfortunates who were turned away fared better than a great crowd inside, who, on ac count of the seats being all occupied, stood in the hlonodrome and tbe rings, and were forced ont of the tent by tbe police. About 14,000 witnessed tbe afternoon per formance yesterday. Merritt Young, the quickest cashier in tbe world, worked like a Turk In tbe ticKot wagon. His deft fingers moved like lightning. Silver and greenbacks passed in at the hole would be instantly brushed back on tbe floor of tbe wagon. At night, when the great rush was over. Young stood up to his knees In silver and greenbacks. Before the "greatest show on earth" leaves for other pastures new Barnum & Bailey will spell Pittsburg thus, "lil Dorado" for they are making money hand over fist in the territory of tbe twin cities. A detailed criticism of the circus proper and Imre Kiralfy's "Nero'' will be found in another column. Last evening the news flashed among the cirens employes that one of tbe lion cubs, recently born, had given up tbe ghost and was now far away In the happy hunting grounds, wbere "greatest shows on earth and stupen dous menageries" are not billed for any per formances.

Officer Smith saw the women standing in, front of the house, when Mrs. Lauler, who is very large and muscular, knocked her sister down and jumped on her. The officer started on a run, but Mrs. Lanier threw her sister in the house and locked the door. The officer burst the door in and found Mrs. Lauler Kneeling on her sister and doing her best to choke her tn death. Tbe women were put in tbe patrol wagon and taken to Central station, Mrs. Lan ier making several attempts on tbe way to beat ber sister. Mrs. Lauler was put In a cell, and at once Sroceeded to tear her dress into strips, and anged herself to the bars of her cell. She was promptly cut down by Detective Coulson, but was still violent until threatened with a straightjacket, when she quieted down. NATUBAZ GAS EXPLODES.

The train, of ten coaches, was on the way lo Aliquippa, with a party bound for the cork cutter's picnic. The trouble commenced by the men insnlting several ladies, who called upon the conductor to protect them. Con ductor McCloskey, who had charge of the special, told the man to desist from making any further disturbance or he would be compelled to eject him from the train. This put, a stop to the row for a time, bnt the crowd adjourned to the car ahead and resumed their disorderly actions. This car W3S filled with ladies and children, who became terror-stricken and fled from the car. t One of the gang, who gave his name as Charles Coats, pulled the bell rope, and the train came to a standstill. The conductor came back to ascertain the cause for stop ping the train, and upon being informed that Coats pulled he bell rope he immedi atelo seized hold of him and ejected him from the train. The signal was given to start again, but the train did not move far before the bell rope was pulled again, and for the second time the train stopped. THE CONDUCTOR BEATEN UP. Coats got aboard the train again, and when Conductor McCloskey attempted to once more put him off, the friends of Coats seized him and beat him badly. The train's crew came rushing to the conductor's assist ance, but they were powerless, as the infuriated crowd outnumbered them. The crew got in side the car, which by this time was deserted by the other passengers, and attempted to stop the row, Tbe mob sailed in and beat the crew so badly tbat they narrowly escaped being murdered. The train was ordered not to procede any further, but the rioters objected to this, and insisted upon the train movibg on, and when this was refused they threatened to clean out tbo whole train. Ther,e were not many people on the train who were in sympathy with the crew, and they condemned the action of the conductor. Whisky bottles were very conspicuous, and tbe mob began to load up while the train stopped. The engineer refused to take the train out, as tbe drunken mob was continually pulling at the bell rope. The train bad arrived at Sbannopm at 12 o'clock, and one hour had elapsed in which time the mob was In complete control of tbe train. A lady, who occupied a seat In tbe sec ond coach, in which the crew and rioters fought swooned, and it was with great diffi culty that she was resuscitated. After a delay of one hour and a half another attempt was made to put the men off the train. bnt it was useless, as tbe crowd was too large for tbe six train men. A freight train arrived at this time, and Conductor McCloskey, rein forced by tbe freight crew, made another at tempt to rout the mob. They were repulsed by the rioters, who drew revolvers, and threatened to kill any one who attempted to molest tbem again. The Conductor went to the station and tele graphed to the Southslde for a sqnad of police men. His request was granted as soon as a special train of two cars could be made up. A MAIL TRAIN BELAYED. Train No. 13, which carried the mails, arrived at Shannopin about this time and was delayed until the officers arrived from Pittsburg. The gang heard that a number of officers had started down, and tbey made for the river. This was about 4 P. St., and the special train bearing tbe policemen was due at Shannipin. It arrived just as the men were running away, and the officers gave chase. The rioters had a good start, and reached the river bank in time to secure four skiffs which were tied up along the shore. All hut three of the mob succeeued in escaping in this way. Tbe officers called upon the men to come back, a demand which tbe fugitives did not heed. The policemen opened fired on them with their revolvers, but failed to shoot any of them, as tbey bad reached midstream. They had taken all the boats on the bhannopin side of the river, and conse seqnently the officers had to give up tbe chase. rlhe three men who figured most conspicu ously in tbe affair were secured and band cuffed by tbe officers. Tbev were taken back to tbe train and locked up in a car. Some of tbe rioters made for tbe woods wben it became known that the train was on the way with police. Several policemen were sent to the woods, but failed to overtake the fugitives. Word was sent to Allegheny to arrest the men on their - arrival there, as it was supposed they would board a train on the Ft. Wayne road on the opposite side of the Ohio river from Shannopin. The excursion train and the mail nulled out after being laid up tor about three hours and a half. Special Officer Cook, of tbe Lake Erie road, went down to the picnle grounds at Ali quippa, and learned the names of nearly all the mob. Tbe three men captured gave their names as John O'Neil. Jerry Carter and Charles Coats, at tbe police station, wbere they were charged with rioting. A SUSPECTED HUBDEBEB CAUGHT. He Says He Was Never at Cfaarlerol, bnt His Story Don't Hans. William Fields, colored, was arrested yester day by Detective Shore on suspicion of being the murderer of Harry Scott, colored, at Cbarleroi Saturday. Both men were laborers at the glass works, and during a quarrel Scott was struck over the bead with a club and killed. Sunday night Inspector McAleese re ceived a telegram from the police at Charleroi asking him to arrest, if found, a man answering Fields' description. The latter was located yesterday and taken to Central station by De tective Shore. Wben questioned he said he was from Me Keesport and that he had never been at Lock No. 4 or Charleroi. When he was searched, however, a railroad ticket was found in his pocket for a ride from Lock No. 4 to RIsher. Tbe ticket had been issued at Lock No. 4, wbere Fields had said he haa never been. He was locked up and message sent to Mack Watkin". Chief of Police at Charleroi. He re plied to hold Fields and be would send an offi cer for him. TAKING TIME BY THE F0BEL0CK.

The Associated Bodies Hold Their First Convention Here. TWEN1T-EI6HT STATES IN TOUCH. Conference Committees Will be Estab lished in EYerr CItj. THE APPEBHTICE MATTER TO BE FIXED. The first annual Convention of the United Association of Journeymen Plumbers, Gas Fitters, Steam Fitters and Helpers opened its initial session - yesterday morning in Plumbers' Hall, on "Water streeet. There were present about 80 delegates, represent ing 28 States and 44 local unions. F. J. Quinlan, of Boston, President of tbe Asso ciation, called the meeting to order. The other officials are: First Vice President, H. T. McGhan, Colorado; Second Vice Presi dent, M. F. Dolan, New York; Third Vice President, A. J. Bowman, Eiehmond, Va.; Secretary Treasurer, Bichard A. O'Brien, "Washington, D. C; Executive Board, John M. Haupt, Baltimore, Md.; John F. Mur Phy, " "Washington, D. C; E. B. Joyce, Kansas City, Mo.; P. H. Gleason, Brook lyn, N. Y. Very little more than the oiganizing of the various committees was accomplished during the day. The organization was formed in October of last year, as a result of a convention in Washington of delegates from 23 local unions, who met, independent of the bodies to which they had originally been affiliated, and decided to form an association which would embrace members of the craft throughout the United States and Canada. OF EAP1D GROWTH. The new body began its active existence in January of this year, and since then has grown rapidly. It owes allegiance to neither of the great labor organizations, and it Is said that the association will, in all its transactions, act Independently of both tbe Knight of Labor and tbe Federation of Labor. One of the most important matters which will eventuate from the convention will be the formation of a Board of Conference in each city, to which all disputes between employers and employes will be referred. The board will comprise three or four members of the Em ployers Association and a similar number of employes. Brooklyn which has been termed the banner city of tbe association already has its Conference Committee, and another has been established in Washington. HAS NO TJSE FOB STEIKES. The association is totally opposed to strikes, and through tbe establishment of these con ference committees it expects to promote un varying harmony between tbe man who has money to pay for labor and the man who has his labor to sell. An equally important sub ject to come under the consideration of the convention is tbat of tbe apprentice system. It has been suggested tbat tbe boys be bound for five years; tbo first two years to carry tbe tradesman's tools, the next to be assigned to some man for instruction, tbe fourth to work in the shop, and the last to work at out-of-doors job under tbe direction of the foreman. The ranging scale of wages would also be fixed. The question of hours will also be toncbed upon, as well as the rate of pay. It will be sought to equalize these over tbe country. In Boston the men work nine hours for S3 60 per day; In New X"ork. Brooklyn and St. Louis, eight hours for the same rate, and in Baltimore longer hours for Ie3 pay. In Denver SI is tbe rate for eight hours' work. Tbe convention will continue to-day and two subsequent days. Tbe arrangements for the reception hare been already pnblisbed. HABDLY THOUGHT CBEDIBLE, Local Compositors Won't Favor Iho Admis sion of Non-UnlonUts In the IC of L.J Intelligence comes from New York that an effort is being made there to organize non-union compositors into the Knights of Labor- In this city tbe compositors, as a body, are organized within Local Union 1630 of the Knights ot Labor, and, with the exception of 15 or 20, are also members of Typographical Union No. 7. Tbey do not believe tbat anything of the sort will, however, transpire. Tbey giire the New York officials of tbe order credit for possessing more discretion than to antagonize tbe wbole body of tho craft over the country by admitting non-union printers within tbe organization. Members of Local Assembly 1650 are very clear tbat any such action on the part of the officials concerned will result in significant action here. Master Workman Evans has written to Philadelphia for information in the matter. NINE H0TJES FOE THE TBADE. The Machinists to Make a Formal Demand Angnil 1. At a meeting of the Executive Committee of Ltlie Brotherhood of Machinists, the National Association of Machinists and the Amalga mated Association of Engineers last night It was unanimously agreed that a demand fur nine hours to constitute a day's work for tbe entire craft should be made on tbe first of August, to go into effect on tbe 11th.
