REBELLION AT HID,
Workingmen Threaten Active War
on Dirt and Are Preparing for
an Organized Attack.
THEY WAST ACHAKCE TO BE'TIDT,
And Are Willing to Stand Their Share
of the Expense Ifecessarj to
lnangnrate a Eeform.
PITTSBURG A WAT BEHIlfD THE EAST.
Several Ssclal Clnbs and Library Associations
Discuss Wars and Means.
There is jnstnow a revolution brewing
among the workingmen of the tiro cities.
A feeding is manifest which promises to
end in open rebellion or a long straggle and
series of arbitration meetings belore tbe re
form is brought about This is not a labor
dispute or a question of bread and butter.
Employers and employes are not embroiled
in a bitter warfare. Instead, from pres
ent indications, they trill walk hand in
hand, and together seek a solution of the
question.
The rebellion is against dirt, and the
leaders are champions of cleanliness. Their
watchword is ".Next to Godliness is Clean
liness." In short Thb Dispatch's agitation of
the wash and toilet room reform for mills
and factories has created such a feeling
among workingmen that it is probable that
the asked-for boon will he introduced in
many workshops ere long.
A number of clubs, whose members be
long to the large army of toilers, at the
rolls, the workshop, or factory, have signi
fied their intention to bring the matter be
fore the separate organizations at the first
meeting and see what can be done in the
matter.
AM. FA YOB THE BEFOKM.
As an initiatory more all the members of
all clubs visited yesterday were quick in
the assurance that everyone was heartily in
favor of the reform. Farther, they war
ranted the statement that their organizations
were ready to farther any move that would
lead to the establishment, by their employ
ers, of wash and toilet rooms. They have
not had an opportunity to hold any meet
ings on the subject, or discuss ways and
means, bnt will do so, and may co-operate
with the manufacturers to set the reform
going.
The above deductions are the result of a
tour yesterday of a large number of clubs
adjacent to mills and factories, and by talks
with numerous Knots ot wortcmgrnen, a
major portion being on the Southside. Few
men were found wbo had not read The
Dispatch articles. It was further found
that the men had got past the stage of de
claring that washrooms were a good thing,
and had been discussing among themselves
the means of bringing about the change.
The Mechanics' Library Association, of
Brownstown, is one of the oldest associa
tions in the city. It has about 175 members,
composed ot mill men, glas&workers and
numbers in other trades and vocations.
Lawyer W. J. Brennen, President of the
club, was chosen EDokesman by the men,
when a visit was paid to the room last night.
He said:
"The sentiment of all the club members is
with The Dispatch in its endeavor to
have wash and toilet rooms added to the
mills and factories."
"5Tes, everyone of us are in favor of it,
from the start," added another member.
EFFECT OF SUEEOUKDINGS.
Continuing Mr. Brennen said: "Envir
onments have a great effect on a man's
manners as well as morals. If facilities
were afforded for keeping clean, it could
not but have a still greater influence with
the men, for as cleanliness is next to Godli
ness, it also leads to Godliness, and self-respect
ib a great step in that direction."
Something was spoken about a declara
tion of the club' stand on the question by
a member, and it was decided that nothing
could be said of what the organization will
do to help the move until a meeting is held
and the subject talked over. Some solution
may then be workeG out, either In the way
of petitions, committees to wait on the dif
ferent manufacturers or some other means
not yet formulated.
Mr. Brennen said: "Pittsburg is away
behind on the wash-room question. In the
East and some parts of the West all the fac
tories are supnlied with toilet rooms. In
Cincinnati, for instance, tbe Globe Boiling
Hills are supplied with -toilet rooms. The
men not living in the immediate vicinity
changed their clothes before and after
work. "Washbowls are arranged along one
side of the room, and on the other side are
hooks for the men to hang their clothes on.
All tbe workingmen, including puddlers
and those ofeach department, take advan
tage of the rooms.
"It is also noticeable in tbe East
that men seen working in the
mills and factories with their old
oily clothes on would hardly be recognized
on the street, so tidy did thevlook. Again,
girls that were seen with old wrappers on
and old shoes, appeared on the street
dressea in a manner that would make one
proud of them."
Up on Carson street, near Jones & Laugh
lins' mill office, a group of men was found
chatting. Among the number were Will
iam A. Carney, Vice President of the
Amalgamated Association; "William Rob
erts, ex-Vice President, and Trustee Pierce,
of the same organization. Mr. Carney said
be did not doubt that the men would fall
in with any move that might be
made to induce the manufacturers to put
in wash rooms. It would be a capital
thing.
ANOTHER SUGGESTION.
In addition to having therooms,he added,
it would be a good idea tohaveajani
itor, or janitors, to dry clothes that are wet
and keep the rooms in order. Each man
could furnish his own towel, and the men
might arrange to co-operate with the firm
in paying the running expenses of the es
tablishments. Mr. Boberts thought that the reform
could hardly be introduced into tbe puddle
department, as the men are in the habit of
washing in the nearest pool of water, and
hurrying home. However, it might become
popular after the rooms had been introduced
for awhile. The men at Jones & Laugh
lins' and Wharton's are given five minutes
of the firm's time to washln, and bring their
own towels. Many also bring clothes; but
have no proper place to dress and make
their toilet
The Xantha Club has CO members, many
of them glass men. The men are all in
favor of it, and at a meeting of the club it
will be decided what shall be done to
have their places of work supplied. Au
thority was given to say that the club is
ready for and were looking to an adoption
of the wash and toilet room system.
The Twilight Social has fifty members.
One of the number said that if the question
was put to a vote of tbe club everv one
would say, "Hurrah for toilet rooms."
The Toung Men's Literary Society has
thirty-six members. Only a few could be
seen last night, so that an expression of
opinion as to the club'a stand could not be
obtained. However, it was assured that the
members are heartily in favor of tbe adop
tion of wash and toilet rooms.
The Amity Social Club is also on the side
of cleanliness and wash rooms, and the mat
ter will be brought up at the next meeting.

Tradition tells us it was the dog who said,
"I'll take your part," when he robbed the
cat or her portion of the dinner, and it is
the Humane Society that is taking the dog's
part now, as manifested at yesterday's meet
ing of the directors when the proposed
pound became the chief topic of discussion.
The committee of ladies that waite'd on
Chief Brown last week made their report.
It was received and a vote of thanks ten
dered them. Thanks were also extended to
Chief Brown for bis promptness in rescind
ing his order for the slaughter.
Alter the ladies' report had been adopted
a resolution instructing the society's solici
tor, F. v Smith, Esq.. as to theirviews on
the establishment, management and main
tenance of the temporary pound that they
hope to have provided, was adopted.
They want to have a temporarv pound
provided where all dogs miming at large
during the so called dog days are to be
taken and kept for a limited number of
davs, to be agreed upon at the conference
between Solicitor Smith and Chief Brown.
A stated sum will be charged the owners of
dogs thus captured before they can be re
leased. If the dogs are not redeemed by
their owners after a certain number of days'
detention, any other person will be privi
leged to ao so upon payment of the amount
to be fixed. Should the time for keeping
the dogs go by, then they are to be subjected
to painless death.
The Humane Society directors believe
that such a pound would be self-sustaining,
but in case it proves otherwise, the society
pledges itself to supply the deficit. -
A resolution condemning tbe use or the
overhead check rein was also passed, with
the recommendation that all persons now
using it cease out of sympathy for their
horses.

the society. Charles H. Stewart was ap

The big thermometer in the-Signal Serv
ice office at the ton of Schmidt-Fridav
building bobbed up and down most erratic
ally yesterday. At 4 o'clock it was at the
86 notch: half an hour later it marked 72;
at 5 o'clock it made another jump and ran
up to 79. It remained about stationary at
that figure until 8 o'clock, when it dropped
to 78. The shower which fell during the
afternoon did not cool the atmosphere to a
great extent, although the thermometer
showed a fall of several degrees. Twenty
eightone hundredths of an inch of rain fell.
Two years- ago yesterday the maximum
temperature was 86, the same as at i o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Last year, on the 28th,
the thermometer stood at 82 for the maxi
mum, 4 degrees less than vesterdav. On
the 27th, 30th and 31st of July, last year,
the temperature was 87, 78 and 79 respect
ively. The hottest day last year was July

Johnstown Citizens Dissatisfied With tbe
Flood Commission's Returns.
Captain H. H. Jluhn, of Johnstown, was
a guest at the Seventh Avenue Hotel last
evening. The Captain was at the head of
the commissary department there prior to
the time tbe State took charge, and then
after the State withdrew. He said there
was considerable dissatisfaction there over
the report of the Flood Commission. "They
think," said he. "that in justice to the
persons who contributed the money a more
detailed report should have been given.
The report is only a list of summaries and
does not tell where the money went
"There is still a balance of 70,000, and
we need bridges there. To expend that
money for bridges would give good results
and save the people from a iarge amount of
taxation."

An Allegheny 9Ian Charged With Neglecting
Ills Fnmilr.
Crnelty and neglect was charged against
Henry Drexel, a waiter in the Morning Star
cafe on Wood street, Pittsburg, before
Mayor Wyman yesterday afternoon by
Humane Agent Berryman. Drexel lives
with his wife, a pair of ll-months-old twins
and a 5-year-old stepson in the rear of 217
Federal'street. It is alleged that his wife
leaves her babies in the Day Nursery while
she and her little son go out to work, and
Drexel takes their money to buy liquor.
Becently Mrs. Drexel bought some furni
ture on the installment plan. Drexel sold
it for 540 and spent 539 for liquor, giving his

the colored man arrested Monday afternoon,
identified him as being one of the crowd at

ing to do with the murder.
Fields at first denied ever having been at
Charleroi, but admitted yesterday that the
reason he lied was because of lear. The

Are Expected.
HEARINGS 70 BE HELD T0-H0EK0W
There is considerable mystery surround
ing the arrests of Eli Dunn and William
Harrison, two men apprehended yesterday
for complicity in supposed hnilding and
loan association frauds. The two men are
confined in the Central station, and .the
police are looking for Mr. Sefton, the senior
partner, who had been previously arrested,
but was released on 51,000 bail.
The police officials, it seems; have noth
ing more than the mere supposition that the
men are crooked, and nothing of a criminal
nature can so far be turned np against them.
Whether the scheme is a swindleor not re
mains to be seen; and while the investiga
tion 'is going on The Dispatch will give
both sides of the matter.
Tbe bearings in the cases will be held be
fore Alderman McKenna, at 3 o'clock to
morrow afternoon. The charge against the
men is conspiracy, and an attempt will be
made to show that they conspired against
the stockholders. Detective Shore, who is
working on the case, was at the office of the
firm yesterday most of the day, and found
that the company was doing business with a
great many people, particularly in Alle
gheny. While the managers of the local
company were ruminating in Central
station, quite a number of people called and
wanted'to pay money. When told that the
thing was a swindle they refused to believe
it and wanted to put their money .in any
how. One man had 5100 which he wished
to deposit for stock, and was' quite angry
at not being able to do so.
HISTORY OP THE BUSINESS.
The firm name was Sefton &3)unn, and
for the past six weeks have been dorng busi
ness at room No. 22, corner of Market and
Water streets. They claimed to be the
Pittsburg representatives of the National
Capitol Building and Loan Association,
which is chartered and operated under the
laws of Illinois. In the circulars of the
concern the depositories are given as the
Provident Life and Trust Company-of Phil
adelphia, and the Chicago National Bank
of Chicago, III. Tbe officers of the National
Association are men ot high standing in the
communities where they reside and do busi
ness. Tbe Pittsburg agency has about 20
sub-agents in the small towns surrounding
Pittsburg, and it is said they have been
rolling in the business at an alarming rate.
The stockholders of the association were
given stock in tbe shape of a beautiful gilt
edged bond, upon which was attached a
golden ieal. There was nothing suspicious
looking about the bond, which read as fol
lows: This certifies that In consideration of the
membership fee and monthly Installments and
a full compliance with the terms contained in
the charter and by-laws of this assopiation,
which are hereby refened to and made a part
of this contract, , of Pittsburg,
county ot Allegheny ana State of .Pennsyl
vania, is a shareholder in the National Capitol
Building and Loan Association, and the said
association will pay to the said shareholder, his
heirs, executors, administrators or assigns the
sum of 3100 for each share held by liim when
tbe shares of this series have reached a mature
value of 100 each.
A PBETTY BOND.
The bond is signed by the President and
secretary ot tbe association, and.alter turn
ing over his money to the officers "the stock
holder is given the certificate to negotiate a
loan if he needs it On the top ot the face
of the bond is a beautiful picture of the
Capitol at Washington. Alfred Downing
is President and the other officers named
are well known men of stability.
The hearings in the casus will be heard by
Alderman McKenna to-morrow afternoon,
and by that time, it is expected, Sefton will
be captured. The plaintiffs are Mary Me
dially, Frank Newman and Bebecca
Lapsley. Mr. Newman has a Teceipt show
ing that he paid 525 cash for tbe dnes on ten
shares of stock for the first three months.
Additional informations have been made by
GeorgeSmith and Julia Malley. When asked
what he thought of the supposed swindle
last night. Assistant Superintendent of
Police O'Mara said: "We think it is a
gigantic swindle and it is worse than tbe
Louisiana lottery. The world is full of
suckers yet, and they are ready to invest in
anything that promises to yield a big return
for what is put into it It is probable that
the National Gas Company itself is all right,
but the officers who were in. charge of the
Pittsburg branch are not models of honesty
by anymeans,and I think they were not only
flimming the people, but the" company a's
well. They agreed to loan money to stock
holders to build houses, but when the time
came to get the money tbe officers of the
company said they could not give it They j
claimed to nave a capital slock ot 52,000,
000, and investigation shows that they
haven't a cent If they were the authorized
agent of the Chicago concern, I think the
head officers ot tbe organization would try
to get them out on bail."
EXPECTING MORE COMPLAINTS.
Inspector McAleese said: "I supposed
the firm has swindled hundreds of people
and by to-morrow I expect to have scores
of 'complaints from people wbo have been
victimized. Four more informations have
been made since 7 o'clock. The National
'Company is probably all right, but there is
no question, but the men we have arrested
are swindlers."
Messrs. Dunn and Harrison say if any
money was collected from the prosecutors,
it was done bysub-agenfs and the reports
had not been sent to the Pittsburg, office.
Tbey say the association does not issue stock
after the application has been made, for
some weeks or months, as it takes con
siderable time to look up the titles to the
property, upon which they are asked, to
loan money.
The circulars say the .association was
incorporated under the laws of -Illinois and
.registered under the laws of Pennsylvania,
with an authorized capital ot tzu.UUU.UUU.
Thefollowing is a copy of a telegram re
ceived? by Mr. Sefton from the Chicago
office: ,

Loan Society, Chicago.
THEY ALLEGE PEESECUTION.
A reporter for The Dispatch last even
ing talked with an agent ot a foreign build
ing and loan association, which has recently
invaded this territory, in the hope of obtain
ing a plain statement of the aims, methods
and scope of the organizations. Said he:
There is a certain element in focal building
and loan circles, egged on by the, banking and
insurance Interests, which Is determined to
contest the progress of tbo national associa
tions inch by inch. Tbey have the advantage
of being on the ground, while tbe national
headquarters is remote. Thev have it their
own way now, but in future the battle ground
will be In tbe legislature of the.varlous States,
and there it will be an open fight on its merits.
The people made the national associations, and
tbe people will demand their rights in spite, of
the Jealous bankers and their catspaws. Build
ing and loan associations interest the frugal
and tb temperaterbut the banking and insur
ance people do not take kindly to profit sharing
unless it be on the Vanderbilt or Gould plan of
distribution.
Of course the agents of national aisoclatlong
may act indiscreetly; but it was and is the aim of
the founders to secure only fit and competent
men to gather into one fund tbe vast number
of smausavings and invest the same where
good security and a fair rate of interest can lie
obtained. For Its own protection ths ctmnixa.
don may irsftue to loan money ezeept la com 1
mnnitles where a certain number of share
holders are to be found, who can act as a local
board in passing securities, but It gathers and
husbands tbe swings of the masses in all sec
tions of the country, with some restrictions.
OPERATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
The local associations naturally feel the en
croachments of the Nationals. Tbey borrow
and lend In the same community andlocal Dros
perity or adversity or variation in rates of in
terest, affects if both ways. On tbe other hand
the foreign associations select especial fields
for their work. The organization wbich is at
present under a clond is a leeitimato concern,
being on tbe roster of tbe official organ of tho
National Building and Loan Associations. The
one 1 represent operates in Pennsylvania under
a State license, being chartered under the strict
law of IllinoK The State license gives stock
holders and the State government legal rights
and supervision. All our home officials are
bonded In the sum of $10,000. Our
local treasurer is bonded in tbe sum
of 55,000. We place no loans in the South or in
Western towns ot less than 3.000 inhabitants.
Our organization has 600 stockholders in Pitts
burg. McKeesporters carry 900 shares and we
have loaned 13,100 there in the past ten davs.
Homesteaders carry 215 shares, Braddock 300
and Bellevue 150. We work nnder tbe same
rnles as local associations, bnt we only loan GO
per cent of the value of the property, which
rqust first be approved by three appraisers after
a local attorney has examined the title. The
stockholders finally pass npon the loan, and if
objection be made. It is withdrawn.
OEIOIN AND DEVELOPMENT.
It seems rather strange that Pennsylva
nia, the home of building and loan associa
tions, cannot boast of a national concern.
The reporter was shown the roster of na
tional associations, as published in the
National Building and Loan Herald, of
Minneapolis. It contains the names of 125
concerns, and only one located in the new
State of Washington is labeled "doubt
ful." 15ut Pennsylvania is not represented.
Chicago claims 12, among them the one
which now figures in the police courts here.
The. following facts, gleaned from the of
ficial organ, shows the origin and rapid de
velopment of these concerns:
The national application of the permanent
building and loan plan originated in Minnesota
fire years ago. Locals originated in England
in 1782 and were transplanted to America in
aoii. xno urst national company wig incor
porated in Minneapolis in IfiiS. In 1SS9 there
were 40 in operation, 10 of which were in Min
neapolis and i In St Paul, lo-day there are 120
in force, out of possibly 125 that have been in
corporated. STARTLING STATISTICS.
All parts ot the country are now represented,
except New England and the States of Penn
sylvania and Ohio. At tho present rate of in
crease there will be 250 In operation by New
Year's. From such data as the organ of the
associations has been able to command, these
associations can lay claim to the following
record nf growth to date (April 1890):
Members 300,030
bbsres In tall 3,000,000
Paid-up capital (assets) ? 15,000,000
Contributing capital (annual) 45,000,000
Subscribed capital.... 130.000,000
Tbe above shows the wonderful growth of
the national movement Statistics also show
that tbe local societies have exhibited their
greatest growth since the advent of the
Nationals.
In commenting on the growth of the move
ment, the journal quoted says:
The figures given in the foregoing table will
probably not be high enough to suit some
tastes, but they are safe. A certain company
advertised not long ago: "We can loan 85.000
a month." Their receipts to-day are SH0.1O0 a
month, ana this is not the largest in point of
membership.
RUNNING THE GAUNTLET.
Continuing its comments, the official
journal says:
The pioneers Jn the national movement are
now going through much tho same experience
that tbe early apostles of life insurance were
subjected to, with tbe additional disadvantages
of having a much stronger ana better organ
ized army of business rivals arrayed against
them. While it may be true that some of the
national associations have been started by in
experienced men. and that a few of these asso
ciations are .still managed by designing and
none too honest individuals, yet It must be
remembered that tbey are mutual companies
nnder the law, and that tbe power of such as
are availing themselves of tbe statutes framed
and license granted to mutual building and
loan associations, for improper purposes, can
be wrested from them and their adventurous
careers cut short.
FRANK SCHULER'S LUCK.
Romance of a Poor Young Man, nnd How
He Came to Strike the BulI's.Ere A
Case Where Fortune Alights Where It
Wns Iienst Expected.
Prank Schuler was the son ofa "poor but
honest parents." He married, as most
successful men do, and "with a heart for
any fate" rented a farm, in company with
another man, from a man named Johnston,
a short distance up Chartiers creek. They
toiled from the "balmy effulgence of early
morn" until "the sentinel stars set their
watch in the sky," but without getting ahead
in the world. They were market gardeners,
and sold their product in the Diamond
Market, contriving to keep body and soul
together,thougb the cohesion between the two
was not very strong.
At length, Want, constantly looking in
the door, drove Friendship out at the win
dow, and the partners disagreed. Their
divergence at length became so strong that
Frank proposed a dissolution, proposing
either 4o buy for or sell at $1,000. His part
ner chose to buy, and Schuler took the
$1,000, and with it made the first payment
on tbe Quinn farm, of 70 acres, at Forest
Grove. His acquaintances said he was
crazy, as the land was too poor for brick
making unless fertilizer were used. Be
side, Schuler bad no capital to stock it, and
there were no buildings on it.
In short, it was suppossd he had thrown
his 51,000 away. What he thought is not
recorded, but the near future had something
big on tap for Schuler. Before the second
payment was due Vandergrift struck the
famous Andy Young well, within a few feetof
one corner of Schuler's purchase. Prank
wasn't so dazed, but that he was still able
to drive a bargain, and in a few days he
leased thirty acres, three-sevenths ot his
purchase, to the Gillespies, oil borers, for
50,000 bonus, 1,500 more than he was to
pay for the entire tract, and the customary
royalty, leaving iony acres lor future con
sideration. The lessees have been fairly
successful, and Schuler's share of tbe out
put is worth 57G a day. He isn't taking
time to comment on the fickleness of for
tune, and his acquaintances say that his
luck hasn't flustered him to the extent of
turning a hair. ,
But pictures are not complete without
shadows as well as lights, and some of the
Quinn heirs are said to be chewing the cud
of disappointment It is related that some
wanted to sell the ancestral acres and others
didn't, and that one of the former, in par
ticular, would not let the matter rest until
the farm was disposed of. It is said that
after all expenses, legal and otherwise, were
paid, this particular heir had coming to him
20.
STRUCK SOME PAY DIET.
More Material Progress In tbo Carr-rfelf-fer

The supply of water on Boyd's Hill has

loud complaints are forthcoming. Water

KICK OF A CORYPHEEs
Nero's Pretty Balled Girls Promise
Lively Times for Kiralfy.
THREATEN TO STRIKE AT ONCE.
One of tho English Maidens Tells of Foor
ray and Many Fines.
SPIES WHO WATCH THEIR ETEEI MOTE
As John Xi. Sullivan would say, "Dey is
touzh times for the high kickers in de ballet,
seel" Irare Kiralfy's great spectacular,
"Nero." is the backbone of Barnum &
Bailey's circus. It is the attraction of the
show that draws the crowds. Its success is
greatly due to the 80 girls who compose the
ballet and the chorus. They are nearly all
English maidens, who are bright
eyed, fair-skinned and pretty. But,
alas I they have learned a
a kick never taught them by the great
Kiralfy, and which is more powerful than
the flash of pink silk hose, if not so enter
taining. They claim they are poorly paid,
tyrannized over, unjustly fined andnotgiven
proper accommodations.
For these reasons the girls are on the
verge of revolt. Two of them left yester
day, One will break her contract with the
"only greatest show on earth" at Wheeling,
to-morrow, and probably several more will
keep these company. At Zanesville, O.,
the whole ballet now expects to refuse to
per.'orm.
NOT THE 'WOEE: OP A DAT.
The girls now employed have spent their
lives in the business, and yet it took months
of work to bring them to the stage of per
fection in gronping that has made Kirally's
"Nero" famous. Their places could not be
filled for weeks.
Tbe causes of their dissatisfaction were
gleaned yesterday by a .Dispatch reporter,
wbo was fortunate enough to have an
audience with a half dozen of the girls.
They were talking of their grievances.
There were some American girls in another
group. They had just returned from the
scene of Nero's feast. One, who spoke for
the party, said:
"We came to America with the under
standing we were to be well treated. Mr.
Kiralfy only directs our movements, and is
paid a salary by Mr. Barnum. All our
contracts are made with Mr. Bailey. We
English ballet girls were to get $7 SO a
week and our expenses. The chorus girls
are paid 10 a week. The Italian girls re
ceive 12 a week, while the American dan
cers only get 6. The wardrobe mistress is
always "piling up expenses on us, and then
we have to pay 1 a month for the care nf
our luggage. Iu no opera company do they
ever make any charge for luggage. They
even charge us 5 cents apiece for each
month's slip of stands.
"But this is not half of our trouble,"
cried the indignant girl. "We are watched
every minute by spies and fined outrage-
nnaii im imarinmw as wall ao vail rifFaneaa
UU4II) , liUUIUUlj U (TVS a t IVIli VUUVi
I will admit that in a party of 80 girls some
of them are not all they should be. some
rule is necessary, but it is not conducted
that way. We English girls all like
a mug of beer after the show,
but none ever become influenced by its
effects. Yet we are fined frequently for tak
ing a glass. For not wearing a head-dress
wc have been fined 2 for each offense. Our
fines eat up our salaries. I know one girl
who has been with the company since Octo
ber and has only drawn one full week's sal
ary in all that time. Another, only a child,
was insulted a few days ago, and in her
rage threw her head-dress, which is worth
only about 25 cents, on the floor and tramped
on it. For that her whole salary was with
held. NOT MR. BAILEY'S FAULT.
"These fines cannot be attributed to Mr.
Bailey. He has employed a man named
Harvey to look after our baggage, and he
does this work. I suppose in order to re
tain his position he must find some errors,
and they never lose anything by the time
he has told them to Mr. Bailey. He lirtens
and orders the girl fined a week's pay.
"Society cries down the immoralities of
circus women. Our English dancers are all
good girls, but they cannot do without pin
money. Many of them have mothers and
sitters in Britain, whom tbey support
Every week they send back so much money,
to buy bread for the rest at home. Cut off
that supply, and what are they to do? To
leave one without a cent is not encouraging
to morality.
"We had a strike once belore," she con
tinued. "When we came here we were
promised hotel accommodations for Sun
days and at all two days' stands. We were
not giveu those accommodations, but had to
live in the cook tent. At Birmingham,
Ala., we were flooded out, and still we were
not taken to hotels. At Louisville, Ky.,
we had a similar experience, and we re
fused to eat breakfast or to go to the cook
tent. Mr. Bailey came to see us and we all
declared we would not go on that day unless
we were provided with proper lodgings.
Our demand was granted and we have en
joyed hotel fare ever since. The manage
ment has no legal right to fine us, and unless
the fines are remitted not a satin slipper
will be lifted at Zanesville."
LOCKING HORNS AGAIN.
Mayor Gourley nnd Cblcf Elliot Mar Came
Together Tbe Former Looking Oat far
Taxpayers Tbe Old Poor Farm Must
Fay for the New One.
Mayor Gourley is determined that the tax
payers of the city will not have to pay for
the new city farm about to be purchased.
He will insist upon a written report from
Chief Elliot, giving the result of the latter's
calculations as to the cost of a new farm.
The Mayor and chiefs of the city depart
ments had intended to go out yesterday to
look at one or two of tbe sites offered for
the new farm, but, owing to tbe absence of
Chief Brown, the trip was abandoned.
It is not likely that the trips will be made
until to-morrow or Friday morning. It is
tbe intention to devote one day to examining
eaoh site, and it will probably take a week
to inspect all the property proposed. Mayor
Gourley made a very emphatic statement in
regard to the sale of the old Poor Farm yes
terday. Said he:
"I understand from reliable authority that
Chief Elliot has been In communication for
the past three months with builders, archi
tects and others whose opinions were valua
ble, with a view of finding out what it will
cost to build the new Poor Farm buildings
with all the latest improvements and con
veniences, according to Mr. Elliot's wishes.
In that time Mr. Elliot has no doubt se
cured figures as well as facts that he can
safely estimate from. I have had no sucu
opportunity to secure a foundation for cal
culation on the subject, but in a mattter of
so much importance as this I must have
something to show me how to act intelli
gently, and I propose to insist upon a writ
ten statement irom Chief Elliot, giving me
the result of his efforts in that direction. I
have been told that snch buildings as Mr.
Elliot desires can be built for 200,000 or
less. If he submits a statement to me show
ing that he can, with the proceeds of the
sale of the old farm, buy a new farm of
double the size of the old one. located
on a river front, and good farming land,
and can then be put up the proper build
ings and improvements complete without
drawing upon the people for one cent more
of money, then I will give mv consent to
the sale, and not until then. ' I do not say
this because I have any doubts as to Mr.
Elliot's honesty in the matter. I believe
him to be scrupulously honest and fair."
In view of the trouble that has existed
between the Mayor and Chief Elliot since
the former's election, ft is a little doubt
ful if Mr. Elliot will relish this peremp
tory order. Those who understand their
relations are watching with interest to see

A COUNTRY FAIR
UNDER THE AUSPICES OF A SEWICKLEY
SOCIETY.
A Pronounced Success Tho Prize Winners
nnd What Thev Ilecelved Pretty May
pole Dances Tbe Other Amusements of
an Enjoyable Evening.
An attraction that called forth all of
Sewlckley's 400, and a great many of Pitts
burg's society people who are still in the
city, and necessitated gorgeous decorations,
was the "Country Fair" that, with its prim
itive races and greased pole, afforded no
end of meriment and fun to those in attend
ance, and netted a snug little sum of money
for the treasury of the Athletic Association.
With the primitiveness of the sports, how
ever, the resemblance to a country fair
ceased.But rural or not rural, a most enjoy
able time was had by all, ot which the races
and contests were not the least important
feature.
Indeed, it was a very excited crowd that
closed up about the race tracks, and it re
quired some powerful and energetic talking
by Mr. Frank Osburn, tbe master of cere
monies, to indnce them to Etnnd back and
allow the contestants room, and it was with
considerable pride that Messrs. uames a.
Bankins andK. B. Ivory received the gold
quoits and watch chain awarded them for
tbe finest quoit pitching, while Mr. W. D.
Seymour was loudly applauded as he re
ceived the little red wheelbarrow for the
most rapid manipulation of a larger sized
one, and a huge watermelon for winning
the sack race.
Mr. G. K. Wright was presented with a
tiny tin horn, which it will not be necessary
tor him to blow, as everyone saw his airy
flight into space that proclaimed him the
highest jumper.
Mr, John Grady, as champion of the ob
stacle race, was given a banjo, and in the
three-legged race Messrs. B. P. Nevin and
Charles I. Doyle, as winners, were pre
sented with silver mounted canes.
The egg race was won by Mr. H. Page
Warden, who received an ocarina as a
memento.
Mr. Joseph McDonald, in the hurdle
race, was proclaimed victor and was crowned
with a blue and white silk jockey cap,
while Mr. H. Page Warden received a silk
tennis sash in the 100-yard dash, in which
he occupied but 10 3-8 seconds.
Master George Gordy, lor the difficult
feat of climbing the greased pole in three
minutes, received his half bushel of peanuts,
and immediately left the field and pole of
his contest, closely followed by the other five
contestants and any number of over-affectionate
companions, whose interest in him
was absorbing.
During the entire evening the A. E. Mc
Caull Brass Band discoursed the most de
lightiul music, and Prof. Tony White gave
several exhibitions of his famous Punch and
Judy show.
The Committee of Arrangements con
sisted of Miss Elizabeth Dickson, Mrs.
Bobert J. Cunningham, Miss Irene McVey,
Mr. Frank M. Hutchinson, Mr. H. Page
Warden, and Mr. George C. Hutchinson.
The Maypole dancers, who were drilled by
Miss Mary H. Chaplin, were Misses Ethel
Standish, Hannah Kevin, Belle' Baldwin,
Maizy Madeira, Sophia Moore, Marv Chap
man and Masters Fred McMullen, J. Knox
Cain, Harry Atwood, William McVey,
Harbaugh Moore, Theodore Nevin, Eugene
Murray and Charles Murray.
A BIG TIME EXPECTED.
Preparations Afoot for the Comics Conven
tion of Germnn Catholics A Torchlight
Parade of 10,000 Men to be One Feature
of tbe Meeting-.
One of the largest church conventions ever
held in Pittsburg will convene here Septem
ber 22, and continue in session four days.
The convention is that of the German Cath
olic Central Association of America. From
COO to 600 German Catholic priests are ex
pected to attend, and as many more lay
delegates irom all tbe churches in the coun
try of that denomination. The four high
Bishops of the association will be present,
also the distinguished Dr. Leiber, of Berlin,
Germany, who is a member of the German
Reichstag, and who became famous several
years since by his successful opposition to
Bismarck in the latter's arbitrary treatment
of the German Empire. Many other dis
tinguished personages will attend.
The German Catholic Priests' Association
of Allegheny county has control of all the
arrangements for the meeting. A feature of
the convention will be a torchlight parade
on the second evening. It is expected that
10,000 persons will join in the celebration.
Bev. Father Bernard, of St. Michael's
Church, Southside, has complete charge of
the parade arrangements, and is already re
ceiving notices of the number of men each
church can turn out. St. 'Augustine's
Church, of Lawrenceville, held a meeting
Sunday, and made preparations to turn out
nearly 2,000 men for the demonstration, and
decided to organize on Friday night an es
cort club. Encouraging reports have been
received from other churches which indicate
that the parade will assume large dimen
sions.
At the convention itself many questions
of vital importance to the government and
perpetuation of the German Catholic Church
of America will be discussed; also statistics
showing the growth of the church and other
matters" of interest. In Pittsburg, Alle
gheny, Millvale and Sharpsburg there are
22 German Catholic churches, all of which
are now engaged in making arrangements
for the entertainment of the delegates. The
place for holding the convention has not
yet been selected.

THE FOESIEE MADE BITE THE DOST.
He Will Have a Hearini; Before Judge
. Gripp, With His Antagonist.
APPELLATION OP CUUHP EESENTED
A "scrap" not devoid of amusing features
took place yesterday morning between John
Burke, tbe stenographer, and Baiph Sims,
the well-known civil engineer, employed by
the city! It occurred on a Fifth avenue
cable car, and had for its referee J. A.
Hardy, the Smithfield street jeweler. The
three men were arrested and will have a
hearing this morning.
Mr. Bnrke resides on Forbes street, be
yond Magee, and Mr. Sims lives in Oak
land. The latter boarded the car vesterdav
morning at Meyran avenne, and it was
loaded to the guards when he got on. He
accordingly squeezed himself on to the plat
form and did not complain about the
crowded condition of the car. Under the
circumstances some people would want the
whole platform, with a daily paper,
a 10-cent cigar and a shave, for
his S cents, but Mr. Sims was content with
his lot, and began to wonder how soon the
Duquesne Traction Company wonld begin
running cars, so as he could enjoy his ride
to and from the office and his residence.
WHY HE GKUJIBLED.
At Stevenson street Mr. Burke jumped on
tbe car, and by this time the latter was
crowded to the utmost limit, and Mr. Burke
had to content hitnselt with standing with
one foot on the bumper on the rear end of
the car. In a few minutes he squeezed one
foot onto the platform of the car, and with
his body pointing to the four winds of
heaven, he managed to stick to the car, all
the while grumbling at the overcrowded con
dition of the conveyance.
At Congress street some of the nassengers
alighted from the car and Mr. Burke
grappled for a better hold. It was as hot
inside the car as a natnral gas furnace, and
despite the proddings from the conductor
nobody would "move forward." Mr. Burke
wanted several passengers to go inside the
car so as to allow him to get a breathing
place to stand, but it was not their day to
move. Among the non-movers, was Mr.
Sims, who kicKed against being pushed by
Mr. Burke. The latter became exasperated,
and by way of a pleasantry, politely in
formed Mr. Sims that he was a chump. The
engineer denied the allegation and dis
claimed any relationship to a chump, when
Mr. Burke reiterated his remarks, saying
that Sims was two chumps. The plural
number was more than Mr. Sims could stand,
and he retorted in like language.
KNOCKED FBOM THE CAB.
This aroused Mr. Burke's ire, and he
raised his right arm to smite Mr. Sims.
The latter hasn't been carrying poles and
chains all his life for nothing, and notwith
standing the crowded condition of the car,
he swnng around and planted a blow with
his fist on Mr. Burke's mouth. The sten
ographer keeled over and fell from the car
to tbe middle of the street on his back, while
the red fluid gushed from the cut in his
mouth. He pluckilv jumped on the car
again after scrambling to his feet, and made
for his antagonist. The conductor and
others interfered, and both men were separ
ated.
Bnrke remained on the car and came
down town. TJpon reaching Smithfield
street ne ran over to tbe poitomce corner,
and, accosting Officer Charles Grimes,
wanted tbe latter to arrest Sims. The offi
cer thought tbe proceeding unnecessary,and
did not want to do so. Burtce persisted, and
tbe officer took tbe three men, Messrs.
Sims, Burke and Hardy, to the Central sta
tion. Burke demanded that Sims be placed
behind the bars, bnt the officer refused his
request. Judge Gripp was present, and,
after hearing tbe case, bound the three men
over for a hearing this morning. Mr.
Hardy had nothing to do with the case,
but was taken along as a witness.
ORE SATS ACCIDENTS.
Injuries to Body nod I.I nub, bat None With
Direct Fatal Results.
Lawrence Hartztl, 28 South Eleventh

Kiralfy's spectacle of "Nero." Fully as
large an audience filled the tents in the

Yesterday morning great excitement was
created when a score of men on the circus
grounds indulged in a free-for-all fight,
started by Driver Itiley. George Stayles

mained in durance vile until 10 P. 31., when
they were released on a forfeit left by tho
