Senator Stanford Accused of Ettaling the Ihnsder ot a Local Etfonntr. A new party in politics ! A parly that is to supersede the two old parties and lead Bien by new ideas, along new grooves, to something more Dearly akin to the misty millennium I A party with a Hew Idea that settles the present national monetary question and solves the domestic economy riddle in a way that the old masters seldom dreamed or and less seldom ever thought of a near realization ! The present genera tion has grown so familiar with the names Democrat and Republican, and what these names are supposed to represent, that the very thought of breaking down the barriers appears something startling. But Pittsburg has somewhat of a revolu tionary reputation in political matters. The Republican party was swaddled in the Iron City, and ever since that period great political ideas in Pittsburg have not been known to be bound around with iron hoops. Will Pittsburg be the cradle of"another great national party? The movement is on foot, and already it has taken shape in one Pittsburg man's brain. It has not as yet made much headway among the voters, but the originator of the New Idea contem plates calling a general convention-in Pitts burg at no distant day, where men of all political faiths and shades of political thought may assemble and interchange ideas, with the view of striking out along a new political highway, regardless of present po litical lines. amount of wealth can be -put into the shape of working capital; that luture ruinous reaction in money and business confidence may be greatly averted; mat tbe rates ot mtereston money i may be reduced. By issuing land mort gages upon a certain traction of the valua tion of agricultural land, in place ot the present bond system, the problem would be solved. The borrower, paying a small per centum per annum, would thus give a cir culation self-regnlating in Volume; would place the ibaterial where most needed, viz.: in the Middle and "Western States and South, and would stimulate manufactures and agriculture." '"What kindof a system would you 'then advise in place of the present banking sys tem, to conlorm with this New Idea?" 'Before replying to that question, let me first state the distinction between a Treasury and a Bank. A Treasury receives and pays out money; a Bank loans money and fur nishes accommodations to its patrons accord ing to its rules. Now, then, to convey an intelligible understanding of how the New Idea may be worked out, and how a nation al banking system in accordance with it may be established, I wouH advocate some such plan as this: A NATION'S BANK CONTEMPLATED. 4 OHE THOUSAND "TONS A Day Will be the Increased Outprit of Pig Iron in This District INCLUDING THE NEW MENACES. The Disparity in the ,Py of Different Branches of Ironworkers. , RECEIVING ENCOURAGEMENT. The outline of the new scheme has al ready been formulated by its original pro moter, who has bronght it to the attention of several national politicians at Washington, and others, with the result, he says, that he has received encouragement and an offer from a Pittsburg Congressman to embody the New Idea in'a bill, and introduce it on the floor of the House of Representatives. With the originator, the lines on which he proposes that the new infant political party shall travel are not new one. He brought them to the attention of legislators . as long as 15 years ago. At that time they were considered, he says, in advance of the age. Since then the progress of political events has brought those relics again to the front, and legislators have proposed them, I or some slight modifications of them, as a I solution ot many oi the national questions that are agitating both Democrats and Re publicans. The originator of this New Idea is Mr.W. B. Freid, of the Atlas Paint Company, Allegheny. Hearing that 3Ir. Freid was preparing a pamphlet and contemplating to launch again his New Idea into the politi cal world, a Dispatch reporter called upon him yesterday and asked him as to his intentions, and for an outline of the formu lation upon which it was proposed to base the new political party which, it was said, he would endeavor to form. NOT NEW WITH" HIM. "Yes, I am drafting a short synopsis of the political foundation of a new national party," said Mr. Freid. "It is not a new scheme with me. I held the same ideas 15 years ago, and the Pittsburg papers and other papers in the country took notice of them then. But the ideas were then thought to be too advanced for the age, and I let the matter drop. I have watched the political pot since then, and saw that the drift was strictly toward .the ideas I ad vanced 15 years ago, until Senator Stan ford, of California, took them up last March and passed them off as the evolution of his own brain." Here Mr. Freid dived into an inner re cess in his desk; and drew forth a bundle containing copies of Pittsburg and other newspapers, of the year 1876. Reference was made to the papers editorially, to Mr. Freid and his opinion. Mr. Freid was then living in Sewickley. "Those are the opinions which I hold to day," continued Mr. Freid. "I have confi dence in them; they have stood the test of time, and financiers are coming to see their worth." "Do you now intend to make them a basis for a new political party?" "I do. And in this I am acting under the advice ot the National Executive Com mittee of the Farmers' Alliance. I antici pate the calling of a general convention at Pittsburg in the near future for the purpose of organizing the American National party, or by some other name to be known, of the adherents to this great cause, and of those who may be susceptible to any convincing arguments whicn may be offered in its favor. ADVANCED IDEAS EXPECTED. "I believe that such a convention of minds may be called together, which will result in the promulgation of sgme ad vanced ideas on our national monztary question and political economy. I believe that the State of Pennsvlvania will be found to be the great keystone of support to the 'new cause,' which may soon wax strength and vigor and be given a broad and grand heritage." "Briefly, Mr. Freid, what is the platform on which the new American National party will stand?" "The platform is simply this I call it The New Idea that agricultural land is the proper basis for our national' currency and banting. In these United States we need no longer board up millions ot gold and silver as a surplus in onr treasury on which to base our paper currency; we need so longer use gold, .silver or any other com modity which shall be required to be placed into disuse for this purpose, and so deprive the world from'any other useful requirements and deminds it tuay supply. Because wealth thus employed will require remuneration to that extent for which it is valuable for other purposes, consequently burdening our commerce unnecessarily to jukt that extent. Agricultural land will furnish a basis for a circulating medium ad equate to the demands of the time. "We may establish a sin.le standard measurement of valnes (the gold Interna tional standard.), without requiring the presence or possession of that commodity. When a detailed plan of the New Idea has been laid out the rates of interest for the nee "1 money for commercial purposes will be lowered. " Then the New Idea will result in constant tendency toward equalizing the individual share of the wealth produced by Ubor." ITS EFFECT ON THE BANKS. ' "How would the New Idea effect the pres ent banking institutions of the country?" 'It would supply their place In all their necessary requirements and point of use fulness. The greatest issue before the peo ple to-dsv it the monetary question. Its most probable solution is now recognized by many to be In a national tanking and cur rency based on agricultural land. I urge that in this way a. system can be brought into use br which a general single gold standard of valuation can 1m established; that ft greater "First The enactment by Congress of such laws as will provide for the founding and establishing ot the Nation's Bank of the United States of America, to be a branch of the United States Treasnry. to be a Bank of issue, and to be established at the Capital of the "United States. This Nation's Bank shall have through Congress the control of the issues and loans of the Goverment; it shall be the parent institution to a system of banks and currency to be established throughout the domain of the United States of America. "Second That laws, or a system of laws, shall be enacted creating and governing the same, and which shall, provide for the issu ing of a national currency to banking insti tutions which may oe established within the bounds of any StMe or province within the domain oi the United States, in accord ance with the United States laws so enacted, authorizing, permitting and govern ing the same. "Third That the conditions of such United States laws' shall be such as will reguiate the management and protect the issue of currency sufficiently and fully, and guarantee the redemption of the same to the holders. "Fourth That such laws shall be made allowing any State or province within the domain of the United btates, that shall have enacted such laws within those States or provinces conforming with the requirements of the general United States laws, the right to avail themselves of the privileges offered by the general law to such chartered institu tions. "Fifth That each State or province shall be held responsible tor any losses arising from currency loaned to such institutions within its bounds, according to law. "Sixth That this currency be issued to such banking institutions upon one-third the agricultural value of land, upon a mortgage executed against registered land held by associated members of such banking institutions, upon one-third of its gold value, to be unincumbered and to be a first lien against it. Snch lo;fns shall be made tor a term of 33J years, and in payment of which such currency, or gold, gr silver bullion at its gold value, of at least 3 per cent per annum be required, and when fully and regularly paid for that length of time (that is to say, 33 annual payments ot 3 per cent each) shall constitute'tull pay ment for debt and interest, and shall cancel the mortgage obligation so held by the na tion's bank against the sub-banking insti tutions. SO TAX ON CIECDLATION. "Seventh That no tax UDon the circula tion shall be reqnired, so Ion; as there' are revenues from custom duties on imports, against which to defray the expenses of con ducting the national institution. "Eighth That the institutions within the States and provinces shall be composed only of owners of agricultural land, who shall have jointly organized under a charter granted by their State and be sheld indi vidually and jointly liable tor onv losses which may occur' to the Government by reasons of fraud or defective title, or error, or wrong valuation of land upon which money may have been loaned to them, and for all sums obtained by them until paid. "Ninth That district examiners of titles and appraisers be appointed, and a schedule of fees for same be fixed, to be paid by the, organizers oi said institutions for the ex amination ol titles, appraisements and cer tificates; that every safeguard possible be plared around the institutions to protect the Government as well as the depositors and stockholders. "Tenth That the currency be made a legal tender for all debts, taxes and dues ex cept custom duties and interest upon the public debt; that the further coinage of the silver dollar be discontinued: that the bonded debt of the United States be paid and cancelled as rapidly as possible and practicable." "Would not such an institution as the Natiou's Bank, as you describe it, open up avenues for speculative purposes in many centers?" "Not at all. The effect would be to fur nish working capital throughout the coun try and in the "West and South, where most needed and where the most tafe, the most profitable fields for loans are now found by many of the leading insurance and trust companies of the present. The Nation's Bank plan would satisfy the demands that are being made for a banking system in con nection with the present postal svstem. Its beneficial effects may be imagined from the results which have come from the economi cal and well conducted building and loan associations now almost innumerable throughout many parts of the country. ' uo STRnrcENCY of money. "A stringency of money would not be created; the volume of currency would be self-regulating and self-adjusting, and not subject to continual tinkering by Congress; the obligations against the securities held bv the Government would be constantly growing less and safer by small annual pay ments, instead of increasing. The present capital would be met where it stands, taking nothing from it, allowing holders of it to employ it, like other commodities, to the best advantage possible in the line ot pro duction. The result would be a greater general good fortune, and a larger share of the necessaries and comforts of life falling to the share of each individual. Domestic and national commerce and exchanges upon a gold basis may be performed without call ing into actual use a' single dollar's worth, possibly, thus deuioi etiziug gold to that ex tent Gold and silver may be forced into the arts, where they belong, instead of lying idle in vaults fur ages. Land, is.a fixed security; it produces end yields as much, when used as a security, as when it is nojj it is, therefore, more economical." "But have not other securities been pro posed as a basis for a national currency and banking system?" "Xes, there have been several; but they cannot stand the light of day. The Nation's Bank plan cannot be equaled bv substitut ing the storks oi the pre-ent national banks or by miner railroad stocks, bonds and other securities; or by the Sub-Treasury plan of the Government issuing money at a small rate of iuterest upon grain, provisions and produce stored in Government storehouse; or by the limited or unlimited coinage of the silver dollar; or by the unwise use of real estate; or even by the -plan, 'as lately pro- Iiosea by Senator Stanford, of California, to end money to farmers at 2 per cent. "By the Nation's Bank plan labor would be more in demand by capital, as produc tion wonld be the chief means of increasine wealth; capital Unemployed would become unproductive." In conclusion, Mr. Fried said that he would prosecute the question, with a vie? of calling forth the opinions of others on the subject who may be better fitted to handle the question, to that it may be thoroughly ventilated for the benefit ot those who de sire to hear other's opinions in comparison with their own upon the subject, and who have so urged hitn to proceed. This will be the object of the general convention, which he proposes calling together at an early date in Pittsburg. As an expedient politi cal financial measure, he saya the plan is bound to win. BEOTHEEH00D PAINTEE3 TO COKYfcNE Some interest attaches to 'the fact that more blast furnaces have been erected, or are nearing completion, in this district this year than at any time previous. In all, seven new fnrnaces have been projected; of thesej two ate in blast, viz: 3Th.e Cliutop, on the Southside, and FjtrnaceH, at Brad dock. Furnace I, also at Braddock,"-will be blown in about the end of the 'month, and Isabella No. 3 willTollow soon after. Elizabeth No. 3 will go :n about the, same time, and the two furnaces being' erected'.at McKeesport for the Monongahela Furpace Company, complete the lot The capacity of five of these will be 200 tons every 24 "hours; one 150" tons -per.day, and one 109 tons per day.. These new fur naces will bring up the 'number. in the dis trict to 25, with a capacity, when all are in blast, of about 4,000 tons peVdav Of 'this total the 11 owned by Carnegie Bros, & Co. will yield about 2,200 tons.cr more than half. The present capacity 'oi the district is about 3,000 tons a day, 'opwhlch 700 tons is mill pig, and the rest -Bessemer, In other words, toward the epdflf' the year the district will be producing1 1,090 'tons a' day more pig than formerly, or an increase oyer last year of 33J4 per cent " ' WELCOME TO PUDDLERS. If the increase in the production of pig results in a diminution of theh'ard qualities it will be very welcome to puddier?." It is claimed that the ueeof hard iron is on .the increase; not so much as a matter of choice or price, but as a matter of necessity,' Hard iron is held to be the result of 'rawing, the furnaces to keep up with the 'demand, 'but the hard iron used in the mills in this' vi cinity is not so much the product of the furnace owned by the mill owners astbejn ierior metal sold by outside "brokers and which mill owners are compelled to buy to keep up with the demand. 'This inferior metal is mixed with the ordinary, run, and is the cause of the differences which crop up between puddlers and proprietors, .j . It is therefore an interesting question, alike to .puddlers and manufacturers. whether the additional output already al luded to may prove sufficient to run mills without the necessity of buyingfrbm outside sources, and more especially the 'inferior grades, which some broKers are- coninfis- sioned to handle. I It is whispered that the constant 'use of hard metal in many miils'.over the country is likely to result in a similar disagreement as to price and quality which agitated 'the Ameiicau Iron Works ptfddlers recently. The time allowed under this year's Amal gamated scale for five heats on'a 'single fur nace is 8 hours and 45 minutes; bnt in some mills the heats cannot be gofin under 9, 10 and even 11 hours. In the Kensington Mill of Lloyd Sons & Co, a puddier was 11 hours " on five heats. Jn this district Shoenberger's mill is held. up- asva pattern to others. The firm is- very careful in making its metal, and it only-buys from outside when its two furnaces fail to supply enough metal. In this mill five beats iu eight hours is the rule Is it not.distin guished by those acquainted with the senti ments of the iron workers' that a great deal of dissatis'action exists regarding the hard boiling and piece questions as disposed of by the lait convention? The' puddlers' dele gates were instructed to ask'for an advance of 50 cents, or $6 for boiling, with the un derstanding that iu some mills the finishers would not ask for an advance this year. The wishes ot the puddlers were not con ceded, but, on the contrary, the finishers obtained nearly every 'change they de manded. ' WHAT THEY CAN EARN. It is claimed that while the manufacturers were willing to concede a 55 rate for boiling they were not ready to let the Tate operate equally as to the finishers., A puduler's wages on 2,500 pounds of muck iron at the present rate, $5 50 per. 2,240 pounds, is 6 14. Of this, one-third 'anil 5 per cent goes to his helper. TceJicaters, wtio are amone the lowest paid of the'finisbers.'earn from $6 to 7 per day at 70 cents a ton, ten tons to a furnace being the average.day'a work. The heater bas not to divide with any one. The heater bas anothery advantage, in that if he puts piles weighing- more than 160 pounds in his lurnace the" firm supplies extra help. These two occupations are the hardest in a mill, and it' is claimed that the most skill is required at the puddling furnace. The figures just eiven'go to show that the most skilled man 'recieves xhe least pay. t In comparison to these- figures are the wages earned by the rollers on large trains where heavy plate and structural iron' is rolled. In 1888. at 80 cents a ton two snoh rollers received $9,605 tor their year's work. In the same two mills the average wage. of the puddier was about $810. ' - In another mill where four -rollers work on 18 and 20-inch trains, (bey received last year over $26,000. A bar. roller,.at 70,cents a ton, and taking 20 tons as-antaversige day's work, makes $14 a .day. But -of this he pays his rougherup .21 cents a' ton and another man $2 25 a day, -which leaves him $7 lor the day's work. From what is under stood of the sentiment of the workers, there seems to be a disposition to take the equalization of the wagesjrates into their own hands, and treat with the- manufactur ers independently of the association. How far this sentiment reaches it is bard to say. but it is rumored that in one large -mill withiu this vicinity the menwere ready for revolt it a majority of the lodge could have been obtained. ' It is said that the difficulties made drag along throughout the year, righting them selves wherever they can Without' conflict ing with the work of trie-convention, but it is promised that the next 'assemblage of workers will make a radical change ia the fixing of scales. course, still remain in "the Kniihtj in a mixed assembly. Mr. Elliott safd that a similar fight was on in New York, Balti more, Rochester and other towns. In. each each organization thad its own shops. ' Mr. Thompsou'said that they looked for a harmonious convention. .The difference which was mentioned in The Dispatch as existing between two local unions was a personal one, and not.of any serious import. There always had been more or less jealousy between the Allegheny and Pittsburg locals. The convention, owing to the important business to be brought up before it, would last four or five days. "The organization was only four years old, but its member ship was steadily increasing. There were 175 locals over the country, and the reason why they were not represented was because they were' still young anil the financial Question was as "vet an txnportflnfc nn These were content to allow the others to legislate for them, especially as no law could be made of altered without a two thirds vote of the whole Tody of members.

An Aged nnd Noted Divine Passes Away Be Wan Almost Four Scare, and Had Quite a History Brief Starr of HU lAtt. The Methodist Protestant; Church has lost one of its most able and efficient minis ters in the death of Bev. James Bobison, one of the early organizers of the church. He died at his late residence, No. 84 Col well street, yesterday afternoon at the age of 78 years. The venerable divine has not been actively engaged in tho ministry for a nnmber of Years, his last charge being the First Methodist Protestant Church on Fifth avenue. He was born in Fayette countv, June 16, 1812, and at the age of 14 he joined the church. He had a longing to become a minister, and' studied at the Mead ville College for several years to prepare himself for his subsequent duties. He was ordained a minister when the restriction laws governed, and was successful in or ganizing the Southside, the Second Pitts burg, First Allegheny, Idlewood and Bell view churches. He remained in charge of each of these churches until they became self-sustaining. He was a man known for his many deeds of charity and will be en deared by many who have received assist ance at his hand. The deceased minister was a cousin of ex Governor Pierpont, of Virginia, who was nrjpointed Chief Executive of that State by President Lincoln during the reconstruction period. Duriug the war the Methodist Ghurch was not outspoken against slavery, and through the influence of the deceased it openly declared itself as anti-slavery. After Mr. Bobison bad advocated the suf frages of the colored man for months with out success, by perseverance and with strong will power, with which he was credited, he succeeded in brinitine the church ont on this question. He was married and had several children. The only one that now survives him is Mrs. John Pogue, of Eldefs ville, 'Washington county. Bev. Mr.Bobison was acknowledged to be an able pulpit orator and talked interestingly. He leaves a wife to mourn the loss of a Christian man and loving husband. CALLS THE IDEA UTOPIAN. Concresiman Dafzell Sayi the Scheme for Trenvurr Loans If Abunrd. Congressman John Dalzell returned to "Washington last evening after a few days spent in visiting his sick boy. In the course of a few minutes' chat while waiting his train be said, owing to the strong fight made by the Farmers' Alliance against the Georgia representatives, that be did not think any of them, with- the exception of Crisp, would be again retnrned. He said that the proposition of the Alliance to ,establish a sub-treasury to loan out money to the farmers on the security of their standing crops was altogether Utopian, and was perfectly impracticable. He said that a spirit of unrest seemed to be per meating the people of industrial nations abroad, nnd more especially England. He said that the Socialist ideas which were creeping into the army and constabulary of the latter country, while not ot sufficient moment to create uneasiness, was still worthy of inquiry into the cause.

He said that trie' matter was one purely for the local unions, and "was not for the general bo"dy. He said that an effort would be made to absorb the latter painters within the'Brbtherhood. 'He did not think any strong opposition would be offered by the Knights because they'were so much the weaker body,'beipg about 45 or so in number.

Yesterday was one of the most successful days in the history of Valley Camp, and the crowds that thronged the grounds and filled the pretty auditorium were well repaid for their journey to and lrom the camp by the eloquent discourses delivered by Bev. "W. G. Williams, D. D., of Columbus, O., who occupied the pulpit both morning and after noon, and by thevening service, at which Bev. C. V: "Wilson officiated. Bev. Dr. "Williams is not a stranger to many Pittsburgers, and during bis addresses a number of familiar faces were recognized in the audience, of friends who embraced the opportunity offered at the close of each service to renew old acquaint ance and extend congratulations to the former President of the Allegheny College, at Meadville, who resigned his position to accept the pastorate of the handsomest church in Ohio, the Broad Street Methodist, of Columbus, that by his efforts has in creased its membership to such an extent as to make an assistant pastor necessary. THE WOENING SERMON. For the morning service Dr. "Williams ' selected as a text a portion of the epistle to the Hebrews, xiii., 8:. "Jesus Christ is the same yestetday, to-day, yea, and for ever," and in brief, said: "That verse alone should thrill the conscience ot every Christ ian man or woman. I cannot see how any man, Christian or not, could read it un moved. Jesus Christ, with all that means to the Christian heart, is just the same through all ages. There must 'be more ways than one by which we can know Jesus Christ Certainly there is one way by which we can know Him. "When He was on earth He could be recognized by human eyes, and donbtless we have all, at times in our lives, considered Peter and John highly privileged persons, because . they walked with Him and talked with Him. In my mind Jesus was very beautiful; a beauty of nobility and parity in all its grandeur that must have been manifest, Dut after all how little can be read from the appearance of a person? Of the inward workings of their hearts, how partial, one-sided and imperfect is character reading! The disciples them selves did not know Jesus until he left the physical guise, and one thing is certain the knowledge of Jesus Christ referred to in the text is.not that obtained from the physical Impressions. Blessed are they who nave not seen and yet believe. ONE'S fiest ideas. "Our first ideas of Jesus are generally of a benevolent man, with a kindly face and a forgiving heart; with mature years, the Christ of the intellect takes the place. The historical person, grand arid magnificent, the name that is upon all tongues, in all books. The man that writers, artists and sculptors seek inspiration from, and endeavor, in their various methods, to depict that even the profane man calls upon with each breath. rom this period we pass into the creeds, doctrines and dogmas in which scholar op poses scholar, .and denominations oppose denominations, and find still the Christ of the intellect, which is not the unchanging Christ, as we all know. It is the Christ that, when we are weary, heartsick nn'd heavy-laden, charms our fears and bids us cease our sorrows; that rifts the clouds and sends light and contentment and peace to our sorrowing heart; that is the Christ re ferred to, and He must be seen with the eyes offaitb. No man's eye has ever seen, noear-uias -ever 'heard, the Christ of the heart, of the soul." '- The afternoon address was based upon the Ministry of Jesus Christ on Earth, and was supplementary to the one delivered in the morning. It abounded with earnestness and eloquence. The singing was an especially enjoyable feature of the services, and elicited hearty commendations for Bev. C. M. Miller, who directed, and the choir, which included Mrs. T. J. Leak, Misses Clara Smith, Matilda George, Kate McMannis, Miss Owens, Miss Freeman, Mrs. Will Price, Mrs, George Bushfield, Mrs. M. E. Johnston; Messrs. Kinnear, Louder, nnd Headland, with Miss Ella Jackson as accompanist. Apropos of the singing and Bev. C. M. Miller, it is highly probable that his earnest voice and helpful presence will be missed from next year's campmeeting services, as a distant city is desirous of enlisting his ser vices in its welfare. At the annual meeting ot the Valley Camp stockholders, Saturday evening, the following officers wereelected: John Ramsey, Vice President; John B. Stewart, Secretary; Mr, William Freeman, Treasurer, and Mr. McCabe resident superintendent of the grounds. The election of a President was postponed, but the general impression is that Mr. J. H. Nobbs will occupy that position, as William Sampson, who has been President tor 15 years, resigned, thinking a change advisable, and feeling that he could no,longer devote the time necessary to the position. The- meetings will clo;e this evening, with Bev. C. If. Miller in the pulpit. SELLING THE FARM. THE DEPARTMENT OF AWARDS TO SET TLE THE'MATTEB TO-DAY. " A Good OOVr for the Property Carnegie Brothers fc Co. Will Not Knlio on Their Bid A Beat Estate Man Who Tblnki the Price la Too Hlsb. The Department of Awards will meet this morning to transact some important busi ness, among it being the sale of the old Poor Farm and the purchase of a new site. It is probable that Black & Baird's bid or $432, 000 for the old Poor Farm will be accepted, and that the Stewart property at Parnassus, which is offered at $186,000, will be pur chased for the new location. Mayor Gourley has arrived at the conclu sion that Black & Baird's bid is a fair one, and in this view he is supported by Vice President W. L. Abbott, of the firm of Carnegie Bros. & Co. Mr. Abbott, in speaking of the matter, said that the opinion of his firm on the valne of the propertv was best expressed by their bid of $417,000. Tbey had offered all they thought it was worth, and if the bids were reopened they would not increase the amount. Mr. Ab bott said that only a portion of the property would be suited to manufacturing purposes, and tbey already had from 10 to 14 acres of urfocenpied land adjoining the Homestead works. The firm's offer for the larm was notymade with a view to meeting immediate wants, but with an eye to tbe lntute and tho probable growth of the works. Mr. A. W. Mellon, of Mellon & Sons, thinks the bid is too high. He was asked by Black & Baird to join with them in the oia, oui auer an examination ne declined, because he did not think there would be much profit in tbe deal. This conclusion he arrived at after investigating tbe price at which Homestead lots are held. There may be some discussion in the De partment of Awards over the purchase of the Stewart farm. All the members of the Board are delighted with the place, but Mayor Gourley still meditates on the ques tion oi price, ue does not hesitate to say, however, that it is, everything considered, by far the best and cheapest site presented.

SEEI0US DISTURBANCES SATURDAY SINNERS deceive Their Punishment at the Sunday Morning Hearing A Large Nnmber of Caiea of the Uaanl Order Assaulted a Cripple Hungarians and a Keg of Beer.

Dan Hogan and Will iam Jones got 30 days apiece for abusing their wives. Mayor Wyman had 56 cases to dispose of at tbe hearing in Allegheny. John Kellv. the "young man who threatened to stab Uthcer Kennedy, was fined $25 and costs; Michael Fredrick and six Hungarian com panions were arrested early on Sunday morning at Woods' Bun house. The Hun garians bad a keg of beer on tap and were acting in a very disorderly manner. They were fined $25 and costs eaob, which they managed to pay. The rest of the cases were oi the common order. Magistrate Succop, of the Southside, went to the Lotus Camp, Etje, Saturday, and ar ranged with Maciitrate Gripp to hold the regular Sunday morning hearings in hrs district. When Judge Gripp arrived at the Twenty-eighth ward station house yesterday morning he found awaiting his considera tion a cutting affray that lacked little of re sulting in murder. The affair occurred about 1 o'clock Sunday morning. The nrisoner was John Vasnuth. He had stabbed his father Truman Vasouth, in the forehead, cutting a large vein that almost resulted iu death from loss of blood. The son and his young wife have for some time been living in the same house with young Vasouth's parents, on South Twenty-eighth street. The young man said that his parents did not seem to realize that be was not a bay, but his own master, and treated him with a harshness bordering on brutality. KNOCKED DOWS BY HIS PA. A little alter 12 o'clock Saturday night, the young man says, his father attacked him while in the latter's house. His father's blow felled him to the floor. His mother entered the room at that moment and struck her son a blow on the head with a beer glass. When he saw that both were beating him he drew his pocket knife and stabbed blindly. The blow struck his father in the forehead. The blood flowed freely, and the old man fell to the floor n a swoon. The daughter-in-law hurried for a doctor. When Dr. Mennig arrived he said the wound was seri ous, and if the flow of blood had been left unchecked five minutes longer death would have resulted. An hour.after the hearing the wounded man persisted in being taken to the station house by his wife and the two asked that the charge against their son be withdrawn, say ing that they would pay all costs. Their pleadings were .in vain, however, as the young man had been sent to jail. . ANOTHEE SOtrXHSIDE BOW. At about the same time that the above row was going on, another seeneof violence was being enacted on the South Eighteenth street extension,- in me nouse occupied by John Snyder. Snyder .had invited a num ber ol friends to drink beer with him. During the evening a fight was started, and Snyder threw the keg of beer out of the window, and then bustled out his friend. Andy Snyder, one or the guests, testified at the hearing that John Snyder threw him down some stone steps, breaking his leg and injuring his back. He is now at the South side Hospital, When the officers attempted to place Sny der in the patrol wagon, someone threw'a stone, striking Officer Hagerling on the back of the neck. Three men were arrested on suspicion of doing the latter act. Thev were Nick Cotswory, John Esidor and Ennie Groban. At the hearing John Sny der was fined $25 and costs for disorderly conduct, and is now'in jail on the charge of assault and battery on Andv Snvder. Tbe three other men were fined $3 each and costs.
