Its Firtt HoTcmmt Is Thts Distnet Anouc the Craft for the Ehort Day. Yesterday witnessed the initial move ment in this district among tbe miners for the eight-hour day. Pully 3,000 people were present iu the grove at Mansfield to liear addresses on the eight-hour day. A parade, participated in by a general turnout of the miners of the locality, took place in the forenoon, and at 1:30 o'clock Vice Presi dent "William Barker called tbe meeting to order. There were present on the platform the Hon. IT. B. Hysell, Speaker of the Ohio House ot liepresentatives; President Jnhn B. Bae, General Secretary Robert Watchoru, President Hugh McLaughlin, Secretary Bobert Boyd, General Organizer Peter Wise. Ben Bowden and "William Mc Qnaid, Secretary of Committee of Arrange ments, and Peter McCurdy. Excellent music was furnished at inter vals by the Banksville Brass Band and Mansfield Union Cornet Band. The day "as a general holiday, and the grove was lighted up by groups of some of Mansfield's fairest, who took no little interest in tbe proceedings. Chairman Barker called the meeting to order, and introduced President John B. 31ae, of the United Mine "Workers' organi sation, who said: A PRELIMINARY SPEECH. Jlr. chairman ana Gentlemen. I am here onlv as a sort of preliminary to Indi cate what lice fie distinguished speakers who lll follow me will take. There is the Hon.N.R. "Eyscll. Speaker of the Ohio Houe of Repre sentatives, who will talk to you of the political aspect of the question we are all here to speak to you about; there is General Secretary Watchorn, who will tell jou about the condi tion of the organization, and there is General Organizer Peter Wise, who ill speak to Ger man brothers in the tongue they best are used to. I am pleased to see such a large gathering as is assembled here to-day, because it is an in dication of a better appreciation and a more prowiug interest In movements appertaining to the welfare of the craft than has been exhib ited by the public, and characterized the miners of this district, any time during the 15 Sears with which I hare been acquainted with them. Well, you all know why we are assembled here to-day. You know we are here to discuss the question of eight hours as the longest time which any miner should work. This movement for eight hours is niakimr more progrpss than any other movement iu any other time has ever done. It is Generally understood that working men are devoting too much time to labor; are doing too much of it,and not bestowmgenough time to their functions as members of society and as American citizens. What we have to discuss is how to bring abont as good results in onr trade as have been attained in others. Ifow.it may startle you when I say that I am not in favor of elpnt hours ror miners. lam cot; because I am certain that eight hours Is too long for the miner to toil tinder the conditions under which he has to labor. When jou compare the labor of the miner with that performed by other trades, the diner should not work more than seven hours a dav, and perhaps only six. When the condi tions under which he plies his avocation are considered; when you remember the impure air, the absence of sunliebt and tbe confined space and physical discomforts which he has to endure, the work-time of the miner sbonld 'Q from one-third to one-fourth less than the hours worked by trades under the free air of hca en and God's beneficent sunlight 1IAED TO AVOID. The miner is accused of grumbling and other immoralities during lis spare time, and the charge is made that he is given to drinking, but how can he help these things when, with nervous system unstring, he leaves his narrow working place for tbe few brief hours of re laxation he has before returning to the minor Tou all know how your wives and your mothers feel the long hours you have to work. You know bow they have to be up early and in bed late to keen pace with jour wants and requirements, and you know that bv the so much you i ourselves personally benefit Dy the reduction in your workinc time by the so much more will your families benefit in freedom from care, anxiety and the worry incidental to tho long hours tlicy nnwEhare to keep pace with yours. The other day, at Broad Top, an operator said to uc: .mi movement oi yours win onlynrlng injury on the working class." I asked; "How sof ' For answer, he pointed to a number of boys and men who wore gamDling nearby tinder a tree. "Is that allf 1 asked him. "And Is it not enough?" he replied. I told him it fuppliedme witua good argument in favor of the eight-hour movement I told him the men had gone through a hard day's work, and abso lutely required some stimulant and some re laxation as a relief to their toik I argued that with shorter hours the men would go direct to their homes, would seek other amusement, and benefit by the opportunity for improvement and reasonable pleasures which their present long hours bebar them from. I will not discuss this Doint any further, as thero are others to follow me. but will proceed to speat to you about organization. Thero is no doubt about the steps in advance roado by the orcamzation. A few years ago such a meeting as this could not be held. A great change has taken place, and that change is reflected in tho countenances of the men I Bee around me. It is no holidav look, but the outward sign of the bonds of brbtherlv fceliig which bind the craft together and impel them to pull all together." in unison and harmony. This standing together and pulling together is accomplULlng wonderful results all oer the country. But the effort must be maintained organized labor must uuil tojether; there must be no seesawim and pulling against each other. 2Iclhods of orcamzation have chanced, and those new methods must be understood cad paid heed :n. Inev must be learned and lrtcuupto. When 1 was a boy we onlycamo locether when tomethlrz turned up, and the meeting g-neraliy ended in a fight. You all understand tho meaninc and purposes of or ganization, and you all know how much Im portance is attached to the methods which have been adopted for the furtherance of your Interests. TIIBEE COURSES OF ACTION. In your organization there are three courses ef action. The first is conciliation; the second, arbitration, and the third, strike. The concil iatory method is adopted to bring about better results than any of tbe others. By adopting a conciliatory tono harmony is engendered and Xigbt-thinking men are mors inclined to listen to statements in a case where a conciliatory manner is used. A study of tbe labor problem lias shown that more results have been attained bv tho conciliatory policy than by any other. "Tho arbitration board is the next steo, after a conciliatory policy has failed. Men have been accused of trying to please both sides and pleasing neither, and sometimes with trying to please me uuus "And with giving too much to the bosses," said voice. "I have known too much to be given to tbe men. The United Mine Workers of America hare bad many cases of this kind. Offense lias been given on many occasions, hut the results bare generally come out right. In time arbi tration will drive strike out of the field alto gether. When the time comes to strike, you must see to it yon are prepared to strike with a vengeance. Bnt don't always use the rod.

It is a fact that already tbe laited Mine Workers of America are makinr Veadsrf aljItrldM In nuabis they already com- I mand respect, and are getting to the point of havinc their forces concentrated, and with such things their efforts must bo successful. The Chairman then introduced a German gentleman, who addressed the meeting in his native language. He wished his identity re tained. General Secretary Bobert Watctoorn next spoke as follows: Jlr. Chairman and Gentlemen: T nndaNtnn tlint thnflrftt SDCSker WaS tO give a sort of preliminary report, which would go before the more substantial meal which the distinguished gentleman (Jlr. Bysel!). who will presently follow, is to furnish. In this event I hare to express my pltrfor them, and to trust tfeat- tftali- nqHannn wnttlH nnlliVO their CanaCl- ty. I will not, anyhow, take up much of your time. Thisafternoon was dedicated to the dis cussion of debt hours. The fact was there was already too much talking about It and not enough action. I think it was Horace Greeley who said that the "best way to resume is to re sume." THE BEST WAY TO DO IT. The best way to work eight hours is to work eight hours, and your organization has it in its power to say what time you shall work as well as any trade in the country. It is very certain that you will nerer get eight hours by talking about it, or listening to other people talking about it. And more especially will you not get eight hours if you gire ear to what your em ployers say on the question. For downright rascality there are no employers in this country who can compare with the coal barons of this continent. They are apt with their excuses to keep you and your family down to tbe greatest degree they can. Tbey say they hare competi tion with gas here, electric light there, and if you take their word for the conditions of the business you will haro improved yonr position just abont the time when Gabriel is preparing to blow the last trumpet. We, as a craft, have determined to turn a deaf ear to such argu. menu and to work out our own salvation. There are certain conditions under which this can be done. The first is you must hare thorough confi dence in your leaders. I do not say this be cause I am an official of your organization, but because I too well recognize that unless you hare that confidence in the integrity, unselfish ness and determination of your leaders to work for your interests, you will nerer get eight hours. Let us, on the contrary, hare full and complete confidence in one another, and 1 can safely promise you that before the Ieares are green again you will be in the enjoyment of an eight-honr working day. There must be an united bond between us, and we must get up early and go to bed late, and hustle to tbe best of our ability to achieve this. You must pre pare yourselves to snffer inconveniences yon nave not so lar naa to, ueiore jou auuuiapusu jour purpose; hut. men, is it not wen worm striving forf You must see what these ease lovinc gentlemen who go down to Harrisburg to represent jou are doing. You must see whether they go down there altogether in your Interests, or whether they do not regard your business and your interests as capable of look ing after themselves. The last Legislature passed a measure to prevent coal barons in the anthracite regions from employing any man as a miner who was not capable of taking care of himself and his fellows. Tbey can't now go to Castle Garden and employ any chance stranger who comes alone. Why cannot that measure be enforced in the bituminous regions? Are not our lires as precious as the lives of those who are protected by law in tbe anthracite recions? When jou go to tbe polls ask your candidates the question: How are you going to rote?" and according to tbe answer you will know how to cast vour ballots. Tbe first thing you bare to do is to get this law applied to Western Penn sylvania, and when you hare done this you will hare accomplished more than 1,000 'meetings such as this. You will hare prevented Instances like Punxsutawney and Irwin from occurring, where poor deluded wretches, who one moment were grinding organs on tbe streets of New York are the next put to work In mines to their own danger and mat of every man around them. OPPOSITION CERTAIN. You must look for opposition from your em ployers. They will always antagonize you. But yon can get even with them by looking to your organization. Look within your own numbers. You have among you many men who are only good union men when the band plays. Men who pander to tbe boss and court his smile. He is our enemy, and his own, for the smile of tbe boss won't feed him or his children. Better let such men stand in hon estly with their fellows, contribute their mite to tbe eight-hour movement; think for tbemsolves, act for themselves, and in time they will be earning a fair remuneration, as do the miners of other lands, and maintain their character as American citizens, American mechanics, and freemen. General Organizer Peter Wise delivered an earnest address in berman on the advan tages of oreamzlng, paying attention tolegis tive matters, and advising Germans to nat uralize for the benefits derived frem the privileges ot citizenship. Tbe Hon. N. R. Hysell, who followed, begged to be excused from making a lengthy address as tbe present condition of his health debarred him from the effort The speaker said that politics used to be consid ered tbe science of government, and proper government that which afforded the greatest good to the greatest number. Bnt nowadays is considered to mean that which will produce the greatest good to the individual who addressed them. As be had nothing to expect Irom the people of Pennsylvania, his remarks would be taken as without any in dhidual bearing. He agreed with Mr. "Watchorn that those who had ballots to cast in the fall shonld have a fall and complete understanding with those gentlemen who expected to imbody their views in the Legis lature. They had a right to exact tbe greatest amount of labor from their repre sentatives, and they had the power to re tarn men who would carrv ont their views. Mr. Hysell said he did not believe any man would deny the constitutionality of a law enforcing eight hours as a working day. It might be termed a bad law, but none who will say it is not within the Constitution. The last time he addressed them he extended a hope that all coal miners would soon be found fighting under the same banner, and be was glad to-day to thank God it was so at last Mr. Hysell went over the ground of the physical condition of the miner and his mental inactivity, due to long working hours, and conclnded by saying that they re quired to pall together for eight hours a day, eight hours for play and eight hours for any thing else they wanted. Mr. McQuaid moved the speakers a vote of thanks, which was passed with acclamation. President Gompers wrote regretting his ina bility to be present, as did Vice President William Martin, both of the American Fed eration oi Labor. TTAT.T 4 THOUSAND TTJBNED AWAY. The Fourteenth Free Organ Recital Attended by nnJ.inmeDe Throne. Half a thousand people unable to even gain admittance to Carnegie Hall, yester day afternoon, testified to the attractions of the fourteenth organ recital given by City Organist Wales. Those who, more fortu nate, secured seats, were delighted by a programme made up with the view of pleas ing all tastes. There were touches of opera and flavors ot Mozart and King Louis XIIL of France, with a representation of modern composers. But chief in the performance was the vo cal mnsic contributed by Misses Belle Ham ilton and Allie Emerson, of Beaver Falls, former pupils of Mr. Amos Whiting, but now of the Boston Conservatory of Music. Their full and rich soprano voices were dis played in a dnet and two solo numbers each, with a carefully graduated organ accompani ment, and lond plaudits were showered upon them. Mr. F. L. Todd, of Oakland, Cal., played a cornet solo very smoothly. The possibilities of enlarging the hall will be discussed, with such crowds unable to find accommodation. WAITTED TJT SANDF0ED. Patrick Gllloil Goins Back In Company With n Deputy Sheriff. Deputy Sheriff Theodore Miller, of Sand ford, Conn., passed through the city last evening, having in charge Patrick Gilfoil. Gilfoil is wanted in Sanford for the at tempted murder of James Fitzgerald. He was arrested, but skipped his bail, and was recaDtured in Bcllaire. The deputy stated that in company with another man Gilfoil attacked Fitzgerald on a public rosd, and tbe pair attempted to pound Fitzgerald's head into the ground with stones. The victim was left supposed to be dead, but he is still living, though in a very critical condition. Gilfoil wss not pleased with the prosDect of going back, and he hung his head while the deputy talked abont him.

TJpj PARE EAILWAY FIGHT Snit Entered Against tbe Squirrel Hilf Companv for TEARING UF THE CITY PROPERTY. Big Oil Gusher in Chartiers Township Starts a Legal Eow. L STOEI OP A DAI IN THE'COUET BOOMS A bill in equity was filed yesterday by the City of Pittsburg against (the Squirrel Hill Bailroad Company and James Benny, receiver. The bill outlines that the de fendant company Is engaged in laying1 rail road tracks on the private property of the city.known as Schenley Park, and at points that would prove injurious to the purpose for which the park is intended, and that it is done without the consent and against tbe protest of the city. The defendants, it is claimed, also threaten to take a part of Joncaire and Eralich streets and to hold them for the purposes of operating theirrailroad. Althouchthe Coun cils, by ordinances, granted the company tbe right of way over the streets named, nevertheless the company abandoned and surrendered the same, and as a result the city expended large sums of money in re pairing and making safe for public travel and use those streets, believing that the company would make no further effort to enter on them. That even if the company has the lawful right to use the streets ft mutt be done in conformity with the estab lished grade and in a manner reasonably safe and secure that such highways may be safe for travel. The plarntiff claims further that the com pany is proceeding with the work in a manner that will render tbe streets prac tically useless for public purposes. They are laying, it is claimed, crossties on the snrface and placing the tracks on them, and such work, when completed, will leave the railroad from 8 to 10 inches above the sur face of the streets, thereby making a public nuisance. Fralich street is now the main entrance to Schenley Park, and is constantly used, and, therefore, the plaintiff asks an injunction to restrain the defendants, engineers, con tractors and workmen from entering on these portions of the citv property to lav I tracks or operate a railroad, and also to re strain them irom laying tracks on any por tion of the public highways of the city in such a manner as to interfere with the free and full use of the public The bill was accompanied by affidavits from Superintendent of Highways Andrews and Street Commissioner Paislev as to the protests of the city and the lack of attention which had been paid to these protests. Judge Magee granted a preliminary in junction and fixed Tuesday, August 19, for a hearing. AH OH, WELL HAKES B0TJBLE. Salt Entered Agalami the Owners ef the Bis Chartlers Gnsher. Isadore Coblens yesterday filed a bill in equity against S. D. Bobison, Charles W. Bobison, Arthur Kennedy, W. B. Sewell and Michael Beck, the owners of the big gusher in the Chartiers field. Mr. Coblens states that Beck is the owner of the laud in Stowe township which the other defendants leased and struck oil on. In 18S6 he asserts he leased from Beck the oil and gas rights on the land in question. Operations were to be commenced and one well finished within a year. If he failed to do this he was to cay to Beck $100 per year until the expiration of his lease. For reasons of his omn Coblens did not bore any wells. He now stands ready and willing to pay the 5100 per year penalty for not doing so, but claiming that Beck, intending to defraud him and lease the land for a higher price.'did not demand it Instead he leased it to the other defendants, who are obtaining oil in large quantities. He only heard of this action a week ago, and demanded his rights, which were re fused. He now asks the Court to appoint a receiver to onerate the wells, have the de fendant account to him for the oil already obtained, and restrain them from any fur ther operations on the land. AH TJraAHE MOTHEE-ra-lAW. Her Present Protector Petitions Another to Care for Hrr. A petition was filed in the Quarter Ses sions Court yesterday by Homer L. McGaw asking for a rule on Dr. Samuel H. Bryant, of No. 1712 Sidney street, Southside, to compel him to support Mrs. Mary Bryant, bis mother, and tbe mother of Mr. McGaw's wfe. He stated that Mrs. Bryant is a widow, 77 years of age, and is poor and un able to work. For two years she has been insane, and requires constant attention. Her children are: Dr. Bryant, of Siduey street; Joseph W. Bryant, of Chartiers township; Sarah A. Plnnkett, of Merrimac street; James M. Bryant, of Benwood, W. Va., and the wife of the petitioner. Of the children within the jurisdiction of the Court, he states. Dr. Bryant is the only one of sufficient ability to relieve and main-, tain his mother, the others not being able. The petitioner, with whom Mrs. Bryant now Is, has kept her for over nine years at his own expense. He now asks the Court to order Dr. Bryant to support her. The Court issued a rule on Dr. Bryant to show cause why he should not support his mother. THREE WIVES WA2TT DIV0ECES. They Aro Dissatisfied With Their Husbands, and Want to be Free. Mrs. Dora Ecke yesterday sued for a di vorce from Herman C. Ecke, alleging that, she had received snch indignities as to com pel her to leave her husband. Mrs. Emma D. Marford also sued for a divorce from Franklin Marford, making the same allega tions. In the divorce case of Catharine Lauben geiger against Gottleib Laubengeiger, a rule was issued on the husband to show cause why he shonld not be attached for contempt in refusing to obey an order of Conrt directing bim to allow bis wife for support and counsel tees pending the suit. BLAMES IT FOB HIS FALL. A Telegraph Llnerann Soei tbe Pennsylvania Company for Damages. Dennis F. Breslia, a telegraph lineman, yesterday entered snit against the Pennsyl vania Company for $5,000 damages. Bres lin states that he was employed by the com pany as a lineman, and on June 19, 1889, he fell from a pole at New Brighton, breaking his arm and receiving permanent injuries. The accident, he asserts, was due to tbe steps on the pole being placed too far apart, thus making the ascent and descent ot the pole dangerous work. It was while trying to place his foot on one of the steps that he fell and was hurt. Rcloftscd on Ball. William Johnston, Charles Ganst and George Kelson, who were indicted as acces sories to the murder of John O'Hara by TJIysses Weoins, were released yesterday on bail. Johnston and Kelson were held in $500 each and Ganst in $1,000 for trial. Allowed to Give Ball.

CHARGES FOR READING PITTSBURG LETTERS AND PAMPHLETS. A Queer Itemized Account Interesting Feature In Connection With n Peculiar Will How the Charges Rolled Up Suggestion to American Solicitors Earopenn Pnuper Labor Qnrstloned. John D. Shafer, Esq., has filed in the office of Begister ol Wills, a testamentary document, in which there is some legal bookkeeping which reads queerly in this country, where lawyers lump their demands for service. A gen tieman of Irish extraction died in Allegheny City some time ago, leavinga will with several codicils attached, and it became necessary, before probate, to send the instrument to .Londonderry, Ireland, for tbe pnrpose of taking testimony, there being some people there interested in the device and the American trustee declining to ac cept the bnrden imposed upon him, Mr. Shafer sent the instrument to a London derry solicitor and the latter lately made his report, accompanied by an itemized ac count of his charges and other expenses. Mr. Shafer sent a paper book, in which the Su preme Court of Pennsylvania had laid down the mode of proceeding. The account is made out according to law and is in pounds, shillings and pence substantially as follows, tbe verbiage being omitted: Perusing letter of Mr. Shafer Perusing same to Notary Public,. Attending Notary Public. Perusing 23-page pamphlet... Writmc letter to Mr. , Shafer..

One interview, for in stance, with the notary was for the purpose of getting directions lor the substitution of the District Begister of Londonderry for the Principal Begister. Another cbarg'e was for writing a letter to ascertain whether it were necessary to get the American Con sul's signature to authenticate proceedings. Another was to learn whether tbe expenses of the commission should be paid-out of the estate of the Amencnn decedent. One charge is explained as necessary to make ar rangements for a meeting frustrated by tbe July holiday of certain officials, and another was for tbe purpose of arranging a personal interview with two witnesses. It is suggested that it some American lawyers were required to render au itemized account of services they would not foreel as many appointments as they do. While some lawyers are very strict in the observ ance of appointments, others act as though clients were all people of leisure who en joyed themselves awaiting the convenience of their legal advisers. There is one item in the Irish barrister's account which reads queerly, the charge of $10 24 for reading a 22-page pamphlet. That is something more than three times what the same wonld cost in Pennsylvania to have written out on a typewriter. That charge doesn't smack of the pauper labor we hear of in Europe.

How Some Rapidly-Growing Western Cities Are Constructed. OBSERVATIONS OP A TRAVELER. Helena a Town With Ho Visible Means of Support, bnt Boasting a POPULATION MADE OP MILLIONAIRES A Dispatch man made a little trip to the West, recently, and the following are some of the things he noted: It is surprising bow many tourists are to be found scattered over tbe West during the summer, the only time when the majority of people have to travel, and when it is the most disaereeable. They come from all parts of the country, and ou any of the through trains it' frequently happens that almost every State in the Union is repre sented. The fast express, trains are always crowded, and the Western passenger de partments certainly yield well during the hot weather. Standing at St. Paul the traveler is at the gateway to the great Northwest, the most attractive as well as one of the richest portions of the Western United States. Across the country for 2,000 miles stretches the Northern Pacifio Bailroad to Portland, Ore. This is the line that Henry "Villard worked so hard to build, and then afthe supreme moment, through financial losses, was forced to unfasten his grip on tbe Presi dency. It is a solidly-built railroad, and has been largely instrumental in the incep tion and growth of numerous towns that have already, in a few short years, taken their places in the rank of cities. Chief among these towns are Helena, Spokane Falls, Seattle, Tacoma and Portland. OP MAKVELOUS GEOWTH. It is marvelous how these places have grown in recent years, and to-day a healthy, energetic rivaly exists between the three Pacific coast cities for the business suprem acy. Tacoma and Seattle hold each other about even, bnt Portland, being the oldest, is the largest and most substantial of the three. I arrived in thi beautiful city early in tbe morning, and went up on the Heights to secure a view of the nlace fn its night clothes. Off in tbe distance was Mt. Hood, with its summit resting in the clouds, and below me at the foot of tbe hill was the Columbia river, winding in and out between tbe mountains. Its banks are lined with salmon canneries, and at certain times in the year its waters are full of tbe nets and traps of fishermen. Tbe Colnmbia is, indeed, one of the prettiest streams in America. torn Jfortland to the Pacific ocean it averages over two miles wide, and at its mouth it is much broader. It is navigable to Portland for vessels of any size afloat to-day, and this puts the latter on the same looting as Tacoma and Seattle, that are located on Puget Sound. I met a very intelligent man in that very early walk, who was not a native bnt entirely familiar with the territory. Said he: "Without doubt Portland will be the Chicago of the Pacific coast It was not Lake Michigan that made the Windy City, but its railroads. To-dav Portland is the railroad center on the Northwest coast, and it has a richer farming country to support it than either Seattle or Tacoma, but you couldn't make the people in either of these places see it in that light" A CITY ON STILTS. . Since Seattle was ravaged by the severe fires of last winter the people have started in to rebuild tbe town on a better basis, but even now it is a city built on stilts. Many of the business houses are standing on props instead of solid stone foundations. A peculiar worm is gnawing at the vitals of these wooden supports, hewing them out and sapping their strength. The time is not far distant, so they tell me, that these buildings are liable to fall, unless something is done to maintain their upright and rectangular positions. Tacoma has grown to be a good sized city, and on every band are evidences of pros perity. Modern imnrovements have been introdnced with a lavish hand, though to au Eastern man there is mnch about all these cities that is primitive. But it is the peo ple that make a country, after all. It is surprising bow many bright, energetic young fellows live in tnese places, ana how tbey can puff up the merits of their respective habi tations. In their opinions there is nothing like the West, and above all, the particular town in which they live. They talk West, sleep it, eat it, verily, pray" it, and the Eastern man who take's exception to their remarks and cites surpassing cases in the East is not wanted. Indeed, it is surprising how the "tenderfoot" falls into their way of thinking, and unconsciously finds him self blowing up the country with the en thusiastic natives. He never saw such tim ber in all his life as that which adorns the Cascade range in the State of Washington. For five hours or more the passengers on the Northern Pacific fast express, after leaving Tacoma coming East, sees nothing but the fairiest trees until the mountains are past, and after that a long stretch of sandy plain, dotted with sage bushes, only greets the eye. Should yon happen to meet with a temperature of 107, as I did, you can't help feeling that you struck the fiery furnace at last. IN A BETTEE TEEBITOEY. When Helena is reached a better territory looms up, and from that place, over to Si. Paul, the country is fair to look at, with the exception of the Montana and Dakota "Bad Lands," and these are always interesting to the tourist. For some miles along the Yellowstone river you see one canyon for mation after another. The whole country is broten up into crested bnttes, and not a few of them resemble a citv set on a hill. This is the leading pe culiarity of the Bad Lands that first attracts the notice of travelers. People imagine they, sometimes see the remains of a delunct city'in tbe moon, but the man who cannot clearly make out old towers, embattled walls, and the remains of ancient honses on some of these buttes is gifted with little im agination and defective eyes. More than one passenger on any train is heard to re mark abont tbe wonderful resemblance of some of these Bad Land formations to an old city. Helena is another city in the Northwest that is on tbe rise. It has grown rap idly in tho last few years, and its people are the most loyal to its merits that can be met anywhere along the railroad. The man who pronounces the name of Helena with the accent on the E bad better hare his life heavily insured be fore he makes the break. If the natives permit him to live after the innocent act it would be pronounced a miracle. But for all that, the people of Helena are bright and energetic, and it is seldom one meets anywhere a more desirable and entertaining class. A CITY OP MILLIONAIEES, Helena's population consists principally of millionaires. Years ago tbey shoveled up their wealth in the gulches which have now become the principal streets of the town. Even now, in digging cellars they throw out gold, but the inhab itants find it elsewhere in such Paying quantities that they take no notice of it One mau remarked that it costs too much at present to separate it from tbe im purities. Helena claims to have more millionaires to the square inch than any other town, in proportion to population, in the country, ttieir claim will nave to be conceded There are not less than 40 of this kind of men living in the town. Within the past few years thev have bnilt elegant residences out of the Montana granite, and there tbey I 1890. are living in regal luxury and splendor. They have their grip on every good thing in the State and the trend of money in Montana is always Helenaward. The town has no visible means of support There are no manufactories, and the mines in the neighborhood are no longer worked to any great extent. The tourist wonders at first whence came the magnificent rows of honses and the apparent opulence of every body, but if he stays aronnd for a time and is observant he will soon discover that the whole State pays tribnte to its capital. Those who go to Helena are always told the story of Last Chance Gulch. A com pany of miners in the early days had pros pected in vain, and broken in spirit and pocket, tbey concluded to give up their weary search for gold. Alter they had camped for the nigbt, one of the men in sheer desperation was digging in the ground, absent-mindedly, with a stick, and thinking ot the dear ones at home, when suddenly a bright spot caught his eye. He pulled it out; it was a nngget The rest is easily told, and they all made fortunes. BRIGHT DREAMS BLIGHTED. Two Northumberland County Girls Come to PltuburK to See Iilfo Their Protector Vanlihen and Leaves Them In Want Will be Sent Home This Morning. Effie and Mamie Breed, two sweet-faced girls from Milton, Northumberland county, will leave for their homes this morning sat isfied that life in a great city has not the brilliant charms they dreamed. The one is 18 years old and dark, the other 17 and fair. Both think that the summer song of their existence has gotten mixed up with a chill ing blast, and they are willing to bid fare well forever to bright shops and electric lights and only leave their record as a'warn ing to country girls not to come to the city without a responsible protector. Both the girls are well dressed and their parents are well-to-do. A brakeman on the Pittsburg and Western and a friend of the family induced the girls to come to Pitts burg under, his protection. They arrived here early in Jul v and took a room at tbe residence ot Mr. Scott, on Monterey street, Allegheny. They took their meals at a boarding bouse on the same street, Corry saring he would be responsible for every thing The girls failed to get work and the brakeman failed to produce any coin. The boarding bouse keeper howled for money, but none was forthcoming. She then went to Alderman Braun, of Allegheny, to make a charge of conspiracy against the girls. As soon as the Magistrate saw the girls he refused to take the information, but took the girls. He did not know what to do with them, as they had no money, and he has paid their bills out of bis own pocket for several days. In the meantime be referred their case to Agent O'Brien of the Humane Society. After considerable work transportation was seenred for them, and they will be sent back home this morning. THE0WN 0VEE A BLTTTF. An Accident on Spring; HUI Which alar Cause One Death. Mrs. Henry Turner and her daughter Mary fell over a bluff on Spring Hill, Alle gheny, yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Turner had her spine injnred and the daughter is not expected to lire. Mr. Turner is a mar ket gardener on Spring Hill, and his wife and daughter started out to dispose of some oi the produce. Tbey tried to stop their horse in front of the house of Mrs. Koehler, near the foot of Spring street. The horse commenced to back, and in an instant horse, wagon and occupants were rolling down the bluff to Vinter street, a distance of 60 feet. The wagon struck Mrs. Turner, seriously injuring her back and spine, while the poor girl was crushed under the weight of the dying horse. Dr. P. W. Heron was summoned, and the mother and daughter were removed to Mrs. Koehler's home. The mother recov ered somewhat, but the girl began vomiting blood, and it 1b feared she cannot recover. Both of the women were terribly bruised. They say they will sue the city for dam ages. The place where the accident oc curred is terribly dangerous. Vinter street runs up Spring Hill from East street and Spring street starts from it about a tnird ot the distance up, and takes a zig-zag course along the brow of the bill. It is little more than a mountain path, being only about ten feet wide, and absolutely unprotected. At the point where the accident happened there is a sheer descent of 60 feet to Vinter street, and from there it is abont 100 feet down to East street. Along its whole length Spring street is unprotected, al though in some places the bluffs are over 100 feet high. THE JEWELS WEEE FOUND. Clever Ruse of a Wheeling Girl to Escape With Stolen Property.

J.IJ u READY FORTHE TEST, Reports That the Span of tbe Ohio Connect ing Railroad Bridge Will bo Swans? To Day Finishing Touches A Trestle Ac cident Yesterday Thousands Interested In the .Work. It is thought in Manchester that tbe chan nel span of the big Ohio Connecting Bail road bridge is to be swung into position on the piers at 5 o'clock this morning. It had been announced that the work would be done ou Tuesday, but some people say the company desires not to have a crowd witness the performance. As this is tbe first time an attempt of this kind was ever made on so large a scale, people say the company is afraid some accident may happen to mar the proceedings. The finishing touches were put to the preparations yesterday, and last night everything seemed in readiness for the tugs to i pullthe big span out into the deep water. The nine large barges that were built especially for the work were all in position under the high trestle-work on which the span rests. Dnring the day, while the men were at work, a small part of the trestling gave way under the great weight upon it This was speedily and easily repaired, and thus far the proceeding has been eminently successful. It thesurmise be true that the span of the bridge is to be swung to-day, the operation will be viewed by thousands of people. The span is built of heavy angle iron, and is about 523 feet long and 20 feet high. It weighs about 915 tons. It is now on a trestle 72 feet high, that is built above the nine barges. This trestle weighs about 1,000 ton?. The total weight on the barges is 1,915 tons, and their carrying capacity about 6,000 tons. The span "is calculated to be strong enough to carry two of the heaviest freight trains and many tons more. It will be pulled into positiou by three or four steamboats, and the barges will then be sunk, leaving the span resting on the piers. KKLTF.VED OF A DHEilMA.
