THE PrCTSBTJEG DISPATCH, SUNDAY. AUGUST 31, - 1890. F' r r i PRINTED UPON ICE, Tho Peculiar Manner in Which Some Coiftict-Made Goods are Stamped According to Law. TEN PEISOHEES EVER AT YYOBK Ttrnlns Oat Twelve Tons of Artificial Ice Daily to Help Snpply Pittsburg and Yieinity. A BEHIND THAT CIN'I BE HALF MET. 'How Distilled VTater I Made Into a Lcisry If In mates of the Woikhouse. Prisons an; newly always associated with the w.ords cold and dampness, vet one would hardly thlnt of making ice in a workhouse. But they do, and, strange as it may sound, coming from a place where so much wicked sets is confined, it is absolutely pure. How many Pittsburgers have used the ice which once bore this stamp: : Convict Mass. : : isoa : t AlXEGHENr cowtt : ': WoEKnoTjat : 'Every one is apt to say he never did nor ever wonld, and, should some one tell him his iceman bought his ice at the workhouse, would throw up his hands in horror. Yet a great many wholesale dealers in Pittsburg and elsewhere get their ice from Claremont, but before it has been in their hands many lours the stamp has disappeared, as the mark is made by placing a warm stamp on the ioe and melting the ice, thus letting the letters stand out about an eighth of an inch from the surface. BOW ICE IS MADE. A Dispatch reporter called at the work .. house, yesterday, and watched the convicts 'at work while Superintendent Warner ex plained the modus operandi, from post to finish. On being told the object of the visit, Superintendent Warner led the visitor through the great iron doors, which opened as if by magic to his voice, yet which shut out the. world from the prisoners bs effectually as the tower did Henry IV. from London. , After passing three of the doors, which clanged harshly behind the Superintendent -and his guest, making a strange feeling of solitude creep over the latter, they reached a building about 100 feet long and 50 wide, near the center of the workhouse yard where the ice is made. It is divided into two rooms; one in which the ice is made, con taining the machinery and tanks, while in the other are the store and packing depart ments. At the left, as one enters the building, are the condensers, boilers and engine, be fore which stood the convict engineer, dressed, like all the other convicts, in brown jeans trousers, hickory shirt and dark cap, who looked up for a moment to see who would possibly enter behind those bars voluntarily. WORK ON A PLATFOBM. In the back of the room, extending the entire length, and half way across it, is what at first looks like an enourmouB plat form, about four and a half feet hi eh, from the right of which is a chute leading to the entrance of the packing room. On this platform is another convict, whose business It is to draw the ice from the tank beneath, and at the foot of the chute are three who pack the ice, or load and stamp it. Under the platform is an enormous tank, filled with salt water, and through which run iron pipes. The top of the platform is made up of 24 trap doors, similar to the doors of an ordinary ice chest, each of which opens into the tank below. Ten convicts are employed at ice making. They are divided into two forces of five each, who succeed each other every 12 hours, so that the work goes on night and day, turning out 12 tons of ice every 24 hours, save from 5 o'clock Saturday" alternoon until Monday morning at 7 o'clock, when the works are shut down. The tank contains 48 galvanized iron re ceptacles, each 38 inches deep, 14 inches in breadth and 14 inches wide. These are filled with distilled water, which, after 48 hours, will have turned to ice. The superintend ent, after explaining each move, said: "I do not yet perfectly understand the process, but this is all I know: Aqua Ammonia is boiled by steam and raised, in a boiler, to a pressure of 180 pounds, from which it is conveyed to a converter through iron pipes in which it is compressed to a liquid. It ii then passed through cooling tanks, and after it has been drawn into the pipes which run through the salt water in the large tank, the pressure is withdrawn, and the liquid ammonia turns at once to gas, thus expand ing in a ratio of 1 to 100, and this expansion generates the cold which freezes the dis tilled water in the galvanized iron recepta cles. WHO BUYS THE ICE. "As soon as one receptacle of water has been turned to ice, which is done after 48 hours, it is taken ont and taken into the packing room. Each cake of ice is li inches square and 34 inches long, weighs 223 pounds, and is as clear as crystal. The ice is sold to wholesale dealers in Pittsburg and -as far east as Westmoreland county, at (8 a ton. Beside this, it is sent to Dixmont, Xforganza and other public institutions. "lhe cost of making the ioe is compara tively small, as the only expense is (300 a Tear, which is spent in buying ammonia. The plant," continued the Superintendent, as he led the way back, "is far too small, as we have had more ordersjthan we could pos sibly fill, and if the natural ice is as scarce scxt winter as it was last, I shall try to have the plant enlarged." "Doesn'' the stamn fade out?" (JWhyi I essppose it does, but that is not any bulmtss. They are on when they leave the place, and that is all the law requires." As the Snoerintendent made that remark a guard looked up with anything but a pleased expression on his cadaverous count enance, and which, if read aright, might have said: "I'll get even with you yet By having the Superintendent take you through I lose the fee of a quarter, which we always get for showing visitors through' the works." BOTANISTS TO MEET. The Opening Meeting; et tbe Fall Beasoa, Thursday Evening-. A meeting of the Botanical Society of Western Pennsylvania will be held Thurs day evening, September 4, at 7:30 o'clock, "in the parlors of the Pittsburg Library.

'The sew Castle Sbannon incline, whioh started running Monday, has again stopped, owing to a breakdown in the machinery. It may tate a month to repair the damage. Something has gone wrong with the ma chinery and caused a stoppage a number of times. Engineers say that tbe double en clnes can never bo made to work success fully. If such is the case it will cause a j great loss to tbe incline company. A RUNAWAY ELECTRIC CAR. Dashes Down Gradr, Overturns a Bdrbt and Breaks Tbroash tho Unllrond fcSntetr Gales Funic Among the Passengers Two Persons Seriously Hart. An accident iu which a carload of pas sengers were nearly dashed to death oc curred about 6 o'clock-yesterday evening at the Sandusky street crossing of the West Penn Railroad. Electric car No. 124 of the Pleasant Valley line got beyond the motor man's control while rounding the corner of Ohio and Sandusky streets and ran down the steep grade at a terrifio rate of speed. The motor man applied the brakes but faMed to check tbe car's speed. The passengers became panic-stricken and made a rush for the door. The conductor prevented several ladies from jumping off the runaway car, which must have been going at the rate of 30 miles an hour. As the car neared Stockton ave nue the motormen saw that a collision was imminent with a carriage and a buggy, which stood at the railroad crossing wait ing lor a . passing train to pass. He motioned 'for tbe driver to pull off, which was done barely in time to escape coming in contact with tne electric car. In the buggy .which stood nearest the safety gates was seated Miss Annie McCleary, of Duquesne Heights, and Harvey Ferguson, of No. 9 River avenue, a boy about IS years old. The occupants tried to jump from the buggy, but before they succeeded the car struck tbe buggy and hurled it around against the gates, smashing through the frail barrier. The car continued on, with the buggy sliding along the street and pnshed the vehicle np alongside the moving train. Luckily tbe train bad not got started fairly well, having just lett the depot one square below. The speed of the car had been checked somewhat in colliding with the buggvand stopped on the north track. Tbe shrieks of the lady passengers in the car were terrible, and tbe male passengers could not restrain their fears and made frantic efforts to get out of the cars, which did not allay the ladies' fears in the least. The train was stopped and the car also came to- a standstill in striking the train. Miss McCleary had her left arm and right leg broken iu attempting to pet ont of the bug$y. She was carried into the under taking rooms of Perry Charles, at the cor ner of Stockton avenue, and was removed later to tbe Allegheny General Hospital. Young Ferguson, in some unaccountable manner, had one of his ears taken off and got badly used np otherwise. The motor man refused to proceed with the car, and gave himself up at the Allegheny Mayor's Office, but was released shortly afterward, when it was learned that tbe injuries of the lady and boy were not serious. M05EY FOE THE COT. Toronto Proposes to Sell Street Hallway Franchises to the Highest Bidder. . A secret committee from Toronto, Canada, representing that city, was in Pittsburg yes terday looking into the relations that exist between the street railways and the munici pality. In the party were Miles Vbkes, Chairman; C. Sproatt, Assistant City Engi neer, and Prank Denton, a Toronto lawyer. Mr. Yokes explained that tbe charters of the Toronto street railways would expire next year, and tbe city has no desire to grant franchises without getting some re turns. A proposition has been made for the city to lay the. road bed and sell out the privilege of building any kind of a road to the highest bidder, provided that the rapid transit is the object to be at tained. The street roads now pay the city 250,000 a year outside of the regular taxes, and there are 78 miles of track. The committee has been in several East ern cities, and went West last evening. They had long interviews with Colonel Andrews, of the Pleasant Valley line, and Vice President George Rice, of the Du quesne traction. They were well pleased with the local roads, but thought that the city didn't get enough for its valuable priv eleges. W0HT LET THEM WORK. The Bnlldlng Trades Council Declares That Union Hen SInst Leave the Exposition, The Building Trades Council met last night and decided that union men cannot work at the Exposition building so long as non-union men are engaged there. The question was taken up soon after the council met and was strongly discussed. Finally a resolution was passed in which the council indorsed the action of tho union men in re fusing to work with non-union men, and de cided that all union men now working there are violating the rules and regulations of their organizations. A second resolution was adopted in which the council requested all union men to cease working at the Exposition building immediately and remain away from it nntil the non-union men employed in the build ing are withdrawn or are made union men. A third resolution censuring Painters' Union No. 10 lor permitting its members to return to work, pending the action of the Council, was also adopted. Delegates were admitted to the Council from the Mosaic Encaustic Tile Layers'Na tional Union No. 2, from the Stone Builders Union and from the Plumbers' Gas and Steam Fitters' Union. HIT WITH A HATCHET. A Man's Wife Administers a Striking Ee proof to Her Protector. Yesterday was pay day, and Philip Saul, of Welsh way, Sonthside, decided to cele brate the event. It took a good deal of beer, but at last be was in a condition to de clare that he was a king, and finally, as the stage of hilarity worked off, he wandered to his home and sought to enjoy a blissful sleep, free from care. He says that his wife objected to his actions, and, while he was lying on the bed, she hit him on the head with a hatchet Tbe scuffle that followed brought Officer Dave Smith to the spot, and in a few mo ments Saul was giving his pedigree to the Sergeant at the station house. Dr. William Stewart examined hirhead. It looked like raw beefsteak, but the prisoner was so drunk he could not realize his condition. After a while he commenced to think that be was hurt, and the last heard of him he was calling, "Shay, doctor," until the sta tion bouse resounded with his cries. AMEEICUS DELEGATES HUBTLUTQ.

Two Deaths From tho Same Cause Within a Month In One Family. Coroner McDowell and Superintendent M. J. Dean are investigating the death of Violet M. Grant, 4 months old, who was reported as having been smothered at ber parents' home in Scotch Bottom, Twenty third ward.

Office, 720 Penn street, Pittsburg, Pa. s&su FARMERS BOPED IN By Yery Smooih-Tongued Swindlers Who Insured Their Lives, PEOHISIKG A PAYMENT IN CASH. The Money Was Paia Down,, and thfl Vic tims ire Seeking Justice. A WHOLESALE glSTEM OP SWINDLING A wholesale system of defrauding farm ers has come to light in the section of coun try surrounding Pair Haven, on the Castle Shannon Railroad. This time the woful tale treats of the rascally transactions of life insurance agents, who have succeeded in fleecing a large number of the well-to-do and intelligent agriculturists. Their money has gone, an d their only consolation has been a reverie on the "eussedness" of somo men, after the style of the old farmer in Will Carlton's "Lightning Rod Dispenser." The gang has been at work for the past three weeks, and in that time has made a good haul. The victims are all located some distance from either a railway or a telegraph office. The swindlers have been carefnl in the selection of their subjects, and have rarely failed to push their schemes through. A man who gives his name as W. D. Xing has been operating in, the section of the country surrounding Whitehall and Pair Haven. He is a glib talker of prepossess ing appearance, and from descriptions given a slick swindler. His plan has been to represent an insur ance company, and insure the lives of the farmers and their wives. By a payment of 25 cash as an initiation fee, and an agree ment to pay $1 per month until death, the victims are given the choice of accepting ?1,000 cash payment or 52,000 'at death. The advantages offered by the former pro position were invariably accepted and the $25 paid over. The agent has now dis appeared and the inveigled farmers hay waited in vain for their cash payment MAD ESOUGH TO LYNCH HIM. The farmers are aroused, and swear vengeance against the smooth-tongued in dividual that has been the cause of their troubles. The feeling has run so high that any straneer appearing in the neighborhood is looked on with suspicion, and the chain attached to the collar of the watch dog is at once unfastened. The farmers say that if the rascal is seen in the neighborhood he will get a taste of justice that may not be just agreeable or exactly according to popu lar methods. Mr. Andrew Humpe, a well-to-do farmer living east of Pair Haven, is one of the victims. He has a fine farm, and was prob ably spotted as a good person to approach on money matters. When first touched on the subject Mr. Hampe did not feel dis posed to tell of his part in the transactions, but at last he acknowledged that he was one of the victims. After a little chat he said he was willing to do all in his power to aid in catching the rascals. Iu recounting his experiences, Mr. Hampe said: "It was about fonr weeks ago that the agent, as he called himself, visited my house. He was dressed in a natty black suit, and appeared to be a very business sort of a fellow. He was well informed and a good talker, and, after a chat on current events, proceeded to unfold his scheme of life insurance. At first I told him that I did not need to insure my life, as I was a member of several lodges, and that my wife would not suffer if I was called away from this world. "He said that he represented the Penn sylvania Insurance Company. It was or ganized in 1883, and as sound as a dollar, having 100,000 members, and 'owned the State.' He seemed very anxious to have me join. Tbe rules of the company forbade admitting single persons. He said the older members would later induce single men to join their ranks. PLAN OP THE LAYOUT. "The plan of the company was to charge $25 initiation fee, and 51 a month during life. On payment of 525 and a promise to pay $1 a month the holders of the policies would receive (1,000 within eight days, or $2,000 at death. In case of sickness a sick benefit of $9 a week was also assured. "At last I was prevailed upon to takeout a policy, and chose the cash payment. I' was assured that the 51,000 would be sent me by mail. He also told me that the large number of those who chose the post mortem payment, and the large number of lapseJ-on such, enabled the company to do a good business. He said a collector wonld call for the assessments. I paid him the $25 and he drew up a lengthy agreement which I made oath to and signed. I don't know what the document contained, as I did not read it. He gave me the following receipt for my cash payment of f 25: "JUI.Y2SLA.D.189i. "Received of Mr. Andrew Hampe the initia tion fee In fall to the Ap. of tbe TT. W. M., Ap. to receive all benefits in class ., com mencing on July SO, A D. 1890. "W. D. Knto, "Traveling Officer, Sixth District of Pennsyl vania." . SOME OTHER VICTIMS. " Mr. Hampesaid that King also wanted to insnre his wife, but he thought he would wait and see whether he got his money first. He says that it he should meet Mr. King he would feel inclined to make the end of him then and there. Henry Stalz and Albert Kuntz, two other farmers living in the same neighborhood, have had the same experience as Mr. Hampe, and it is said that there are any number in the same fix. Some of the farmers and, in fact, all of them have been ashamed to tell of their experience in being "taken in," and this fact has made the work of the alleged insurance agents all the more easy. Work Got a Little Black. Some 50 carpenters ana painfers were laid off from the Port Wayne shops, Allegheny, yesterday. The reason assigned by the management was that work was beginning to slacken after the summer activity. Giving- Them a Benefit.

Wife to Shift for Herself and Leave Him Alone. Sergeant McQuaid, of the Sonthside po lice station, had a characteristic interview with a Polish prisoner named Peter Schinski, last night. Schinski was 'arrested for dis orderly conduct, and after his arrival at the station house, the Sergeant went to the cell door, pad in hand, tcask him the usual questions. The following dialogue took place: "Have you a wife?" "I did have, but I haven't got any now." "Why don't you live with her?" "No, I did, but I concluded it was cheaper to live alone and let her go." "Didn't you have any trouble with her?" "No. Didn't I just tell you I decided that she cost me too much and I told her to leave, and she did? That's all there is in it." The man while talking was very frank in manner. By inquiry it was found that the practice was not an uncommon one among the Poles for the men and women to go their separate ways when the man finds that the woman's company Is no longer desirable.

CAR WHEEL W0BKSL0CATINGHEEB Labor Day Will Witness a Big Demonstra tion of the Trades NEW PA1HT W0BKS IU ALLEGHENY CHI Pittsburg is every day becoming more widely known and recognized as the center of great manufacturing enterprises. She not alone originates great works ot her own, every year adding to ber wealth and popu lation, but attracts capital . from outside for investment in her projects. Eastern men especially are beginning to recognize that to keep pace with the growth of trade they jnust be in the midst of it, and they are not slow to see that New York is no longer the magnet around which manufacturing enter prises cling. The newest accession to the list of manu facturing works proposed to be located in the district is the Peckham Car Wheel Com pany, of New York, whose works are at Kingston, on the Hudson. A;coutrolllng stockholder in the concern, Mr. John Hunter, Jr., has been here for some time past examining localities and obtaining data on suitable sites. He was favorably im pressed with a site near Duquesne, and also with one in the -city. Before leaving he positively stated that the company has de cided to locate a plant near Pittsburg. The operations Of this company has so in creased as to compel it to look for larger quarters than it now' possesses. The plant to be erected here will cost about $100,000, including the cost of the site. The works will be extensive, covering about ten acres and furnishing employment for 1,000 men. Mr. Hunter was greatly impressed with the facilities for transportation which this city possesses, and also with the advantages at tached to the use of natural gas, which he believes is an important factor in the de velopment of the district He has returned East to lay his report before the Board of Directors, and within a short time it is ex pected negotiations will be on foot for the purchase of ground.

A Supposed rostal Employe Who Changed the Beading of Checks. il'EEAN WARNS LOCAL BANKERS., "The Union National and Pennsylvania Be- lieved of Small Sum A K0YJ31 METHOD OP GETT15G MO-fET There is a very slick individual some where in the Postoffice Department or out ot it, either in the railway mail service or in the local office, who is bound to come to griei sooner or later. He has hit on rather a novel idea of getting money from bankers in an illegitimate way, or it is the old story of a man trying to earn his living without working for it A circu lar of warning to cankers from Postmaster McKean fell into the hands of a reporter yesterday, and gave the first inkling of the fellow's clever but simple method of work. When the postmaster was shown his circular and asked for information he 'was almost par alyzed, for he well knew it had not leaked out through his department. He frankly stated that he transacted the business of his office with the department,and said he never talked about matters that would best serve the ends of justice by keeping quiet in hopes that the rascal might be caught WABNINO TO BANKBBS. s The circular was sent to The Dispatch by a local banker, who wished to warn his brethren in the country districts. uIt .reads thus, as it comes from the postoffice: To Bankers: I desire to call your attention to the fact that within tbe past month two hankers In this city have paid checks which were originally drawn to the order of out-of-town firms. Tbe checks in each instance were altered and falsely made payable to bearer. In each of these cases the letters which contained the checks In question are supposed to have been deposited in tbe mails. I have, therefore, to request that you will causa to be carefully scrutinized all checks presented for payment drawn to an individual or firm and made payable to bearer. In the case of a check from "Pay to the order of," tho words "the order ot" will be stricken out and tho words "or bearer." added after tbe name with an attempt to Imitate tbe hand writing In the body of the check. Tbls was successfully worked In one Instance. In tbe other where the check was printed "or bearer," the lines in ink tbronzb the word "bearer," and the word "order" were successfully removed with acid. Please note carefully a description of any one presenting checks which appear to have been altered in the manner described. TWO OP THEM CAUGHT. The two banks in question are the Union Hational and the Pennsylvania, out in Law renceville. The first cashed a check that had been doctored for $72 SO. In this case tbe word "bearer"had been crossed ont with two lines by the maker.and the word "order" placed over it "Order" was scratched out and the lines carelullr removed, leaving it read "to bearer." All such checks in any bank are cashed without identification o'f the person being required. , The Pennsylvania Dank was touched for (262 in a similar way. Both banks were re lieved abont a month apart, showing that the fellow is still at work. The postoffice inspectors and detectives are at work on the case and hope to soon jerk up the of fender. dive Me an Old House Where Z Can Vssl Safe. Purchasers put more faith in the honesty and judgment of that old and trnsted music house of H. HIeber & Bro. than in anyone else. An instrument coming from Elebers' store, be it a Stelnway. Conover Gabier or Opera piano, or a Burdett or Parhuff organ is always preferred, for the opinion of Mr. KJeber is looked upon as final and con clusive. Hundreds of people have made the remark: "Oh, I wish 1 had called on you first and bought an instrument of you," and then they beg the Elebers to take the piano or organ, which they bought elsewhere off their hands and exchange for the superior ones at the latter place. Klebera' prices are $25 to $50 lower than those oi other dealers, and their terms of payment are easier. , ' While other dealers sit around complain ing of hard times, the Elebers are kept as busy as bees.
