t. BIGHT II THE PARK A Street Bail way Up Panther Hollow and Through a Tunnel Will Land Visitors Amid the BEAUTIES OFMRS.SCHENLErS GIFT Details of the Host Wonderfal Piece of Engineering Ever Attempted m Pittsburg. THREE-CEXT FAKES ARE KOW ASSURED. Silt-Edged Prices Asked for the Squirrel Hill Electric Eoart Franchises. A project is on foot, which it Is expected will soon be carried out, to reach Schenley Park without running cars where they will scare horses, or over any of the magnificent drives of that great resting place for the people. The nlan is to land people in the center of the park without disturbing any boar or anything. This work will be ac co""i.ishedby a motor road up Panther Hollow to the bluff, then, by a tunnel, to some central point in the park, probably near the present location of the menagerie. Prom there the passengers will step from the car into an elevator, and, without the leastjar.be landed right among the trees and green grasses of Schenley Park. A number of PittsbtTg capitalists are pushing the scheme. Consultations have been held, surveyors have been over the route, at-d in a ten- davs a charter is to be asked for. As it is at present, the long, tortuous climb over even the smooth roads makes one tired before the beauties of the pirk are reached. Only the wealthy can afford to drive, but by this means any one can reach the park in half the time that the finest blooded horses conld get there. The fare, it is understood, will be only 5 cents, and the novelty of the underground ride, and then the sudden rising to the surface will make the scene more like "Wonderland. ALL ABE I'lCTTTHESQUE. Bat tint is not all. Each of the entrances to Panther hollow has a picturesque beauty of its own. There are three routes under consideration. One is to cone down Co quet street and enter into Panther hollow by a tunnel under the Junction railroad. This route would bring the line right past the bluff on which the Carnegie Library is to be erected. Another war is to come up Boundary street from Second avenue. This would also necessitate a tunnel under the Junction railroad. The third is the most magnificent of all. By it the hollow is to be reached by a bridge from Oakland ave nue, which will sning 100 feet above the little run, and cross the Junction road at an elevation of about 30 feet. From there, by an easy grade, it would strike Panther hollow about 600 feet be yond. The bridge will be a beauty in itself, and the library and the handsome grounds which surround it will spread out like a panorama belore the passengers. Looking westward, the scene will be almost as grand. Panther hollow is three-quarters of a mile in length, tts wonders are unnum bered. The wild seenery of rocks and leap ing water will be undisturbed, as the road will be built on trestle work. SOMETHING Or THE TTTKXCL. The tunnel will be less than 1,000 feet in length, and will be nearly 20 feet wide at the base. It will be perfectly water tight, and arc lights will dispel the gloom through out the whole length. A well 20 feet in di ameter will be sunk at the end of the tun nel, and in that elevators are to be run to carry the people to the surface, where a handsome station and waiting room will be erected. But that is not all. The real beauties of Pantcer hollow can only now be seen at the rhk of one's neck. The new road will have platforms erected at short distances along the itiute, where people can get off and wan der through the dark places ot the Jgorge, and for their accommodation steps leading up to the brow of the bluff will be erected. The cost of the road proper, by either the Boquet or Boundary street entrance, it is calculated, will be about 150,000. If the bridge is erected from Oakland avenue the cost will be increased 525,000. The latter is the shortest route, and undeniably the mosf picturesque. At present it is iooked upon as the most favorable one by the persons in terested in the scheme. Beyond this addition to its wonders, the park is to be made the greatest in America. Conservatories are to be built, fountains and lakes will be constructed, the zoological gar dens win soon cease to oe a joke, ana will assume the proportions of a wonder. a scene or beauty:. The place will be made one scene of beauty, and with its fairylike underground entrance it will be the greatest park in the world. There is also just now great activity on the part of the Squirrel Hill Electric S'treet Railway Company. An army of men is at work on the grading. The bridges are being constructed, and one span of the iron work is almost completed. Contractor Mc Kibben was out looking over the work him self yesterday. He thinks the road has a bright future. He said: "Wc have our rights clear now. and the road will be built as fast as possible. The Pittsburg Traction Company does not own this road. At least at noon to-day it did not. The road has not been offered to that corporation, but, of course, it can be bought Already 90,000 have been ex pended on it, and if I had the money, I would like to buy it in at twice that figure. Our line runs through one corner of Schen ley Park, and therefore the route has a greater value. It would be impossible to eccure such franchise as we hold now. Our line runs rieht under the Carnegie Library site, which adds another feature of value to it Ye the road would be a bargain at 5180,000." THREE-CENT FARES SOON. In this connection it shonld be stated that the prospect for 3-cent Tares is brighter now than ever before. The directors of the Pittsburg Traction road met at the Wash ington street power house yesterday and passed a resolution empowering Presi dent George W. Elkins to reduce the fare to 3 cents when he thought it was accessary. Mr. P. A. B. Widener left a ' under the impression last evening .s would be done as soon as the Du c Traction bejjins operations. He took ilit opportunitv to deny that his road would be sold out to the Du quesne, and that there was no truth in the report that the Pittsburg Traction was in a scheme to consolidate all the street roads in the city. They had inspected the read, and would leave for Chicago this morning. The names of those in the party appeared in The Dispatch of yesterday. Ex-Secretary Whitney was expected, but he is jll, and without him the faithful Dan La i jont wonld not pnt in appearance. The ' gentlemen in the syndicate are thinking of cutting the fares iu Chicago to three cents. Will Build 200 Houses. At the second saleof lots at Charlcroi, yes terday, $35,000 worth were sold, and about 815,000 changed hands on the outside. The company has decided to build 200 houses on the Lill for their workmen. The building operations will coos be commenced. JUMPED FROM THE BBIDrjE. A Drunken Man Plunge Headlong From the Point Mrnctnrr. Barney Collins, a laborer, jumped off the Point bridge into the Monongabela river about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The jump was a foolish freak, and the man was uninjured. Collins and two companions were standing near the bridge, when one of the latter snatched Collins' belt and put it around his waist Collins wanted to fight, but the third companion acted as peacemaker, and wanted to give him 25 cents. Collins refused this, and his com panion offered him ?1. Collins then said lie could jump from the highest steeple in the city for the dollar, and wanted to wager another dollar that he could make good his assertion. One of the other men bantered him to jump from the Union bridge, and the trio started across. When about 30 yards from the water's edge. Collins leaped up on the railing, and before his companions could say anything, jumped off into the river. The tall was about 80 feet, and before strik ing the water Collins turned over once or tiwee. He alighted feet first on the water, and after floundering aronnd awhile he was rescued by persons in a skiff. As usual with drunken men be was unhurt POSTPONED POB A WEEK. Another Itonnd In the Famous Allegheny Senatorial Contest. The contestants in the Neeb-Rutan con tent had another round yesterday. The com mittee met in the office of Water Assessor George Miller,and,after skirmishing around for quite awhile, it adjourned and took pos session of the Board of Viewers' private oSice, where a veil of secrecy was thrown around the doors and windows in addition to the blinds. Chairman Witherow presented a letter irom Mr. Rutan explaining his position in the contest Mr. Neeb was in the rotunda waiting to be called before the committee, but it adjourned without calling on him. Secretary Miller refused to give up the letter or say what it contained. The sub stance of its contents it was afterward found was to the effect that Butan delegates had been bought outright byNeeb's friends. Another meeting, which will be the last, will Ue held Wednesday next MINERS DECLARE WAS. President Rno Thinks tbe Mlnlnc Rate Will bo Advanced 3 Cents Per Ton. President John B. Eae, of the United Miners, was in the city for a short time yesterday on his way to Columbus. He just came from Armstry, in the Allegheny Mountains, where the difficulty with the men was satisfactorily arranged. Mr. Kae said that all negotiations with the Irwin operators were now off, and he would meet the Executive Board at Colum bus to-day, when they would decide on some plan to fceep tbe company from mak ing anv monev until they came to terms. He expected also that at the conference of miners and operators to be held at Altoona, September 10, that the dead work scale would be satisfactorily fixed and that the rate of running would be advanced 5 cents per ton.

Tvsn MANY MEN OF MARK Coming O'er the Sea This Month to Accept the Hospitality of Our "MAGNATES OF IRON AKD STEEL. British and Foreign Engineers Will Bold Conventions Here. SOME OF THE DISTINGUISHED GDESTS The International Convention of Iron and Steel Manufacturers and Specialists, which will be held in this country in October next, is attracting much attention. Elabor ate preparations have been going on in the cities which will be visited by the congress for some time past In Pittsburg, the final arrangements for the entertainment have just been completed. The Reception Com mittee has done its work, and may expect to give the visitors as fine a reception as they have met with. The programme is appended lower down. The engineers and iron manufacturers on thisside of the water have long desired to is sue a call for an international meeting to be held in this country. They desired an op portunity of returning the courtesies ex tended to the American engineers who vis ited foreign countries in 1880. Some months ago the council of the American Tnstitute of Mining Engineers, in connection with other kindred bodies in this country, extended an invitation to the Iron and Steel Institute of Great Britain to hold its annual session simultaneously with their own on this side. The invitation was accepted with enthu siasm. Similar invitations were issued to other European societies, who readily re turned acceptances. As as result the meet ing, the first of its kind held in this country, 'will be attended by the greatest engineers and the foremost men in the iron and steel industries in the world. WHEJT THEY TVILTj AEBIVE. The guests will arrive at tbe end of the current month and make the Park Avenue Hotel, New York, their headquarters.

BIUsj to Come Up at tbe Opening on Mon dny Next A Batch of (street Improve ment! Chief Bigclotv on Schenley Park, and Other Dinners. Both branches of Councils will meet on Monday, and the influential Councilman, after his period of cessation of city work, will buckle on his spurs stamped with the seal of the city and wade in to startle the community. He will endeavor to make his constituents think he is nn indnstrions offi cial, knowing how to fulfil the trust reposed in him, and will flash up ordinances, mak ing a bluff at everything in sight. He starts in with the best of intentions, but there is a place paved with good resolutions. The Committee on Public Works met yes terday afternoon to act upon a lot of new ordinances which will come up for consider ation at the meeting of Councils next Mon day. The following were affirmatively recommended: Ordinances for sewers on Hancock street, from Ridge to Thirty-third; Hailman street, from Howe to Marchand; Spring alley, from Thirty-third to Thirty-ty-fourth streets; Sheridan street, from a point 300 feet west to Stanton avenue; Bry ant street, Hiehland and Negley avenues; Garden and Keller allevs, from Forty-second to Eortv-foarth streets; McKee place, irom a point 960 feet wcstjto Wilmot street; Cabot wav fromSouth Fifth to South Sixth streets; Mulberry alley, from Twentieth to Twenty-second streets; Craig street, from Center avenne to the south line of the Aspiu wall property. Ordinances ior opening Lafayette street, from Woodlawn to Melancthon streets; Glosser alley, irom Kirpatrick street to A. Dair's property line; Dresden alley, Irom McCandless to Thirty-third streets; Hays street, from Euclid to Negley avenues. Ordinances for grading, repairing and curbing Beitler street, from South Highland avenue to Shakespeare street; Monnion alley, from Howley to Main streets; Howley street, from Canoe alley to Main street; Lex ington street, from Penn avenue to Beynolds street; Beed street, from Soho street to Cen ter avenue. Outside of the street improvements there will be very little new business offered to Councils. There are very few old ordi nances hanging on since the last meeting. Both branches held special meetincs and cleared up everything in sight. The Finance Committee will report that tbe printing ap propriation of 15,000 is exhausted and a resolution will be introduced to transfer $5,009 from the contingent fund. The large number of street improvements having to be printed caused the exhaustion of the appro priation. Chairman Robertson, of the Southside Water Committee, will have something to report as the result of the investigations of the committee. The latter will recommend measures of relief for the people on that side of the river, and not only give them a larger quantity, but purer water than the mixture now furnished. Chief Bigelow will also have something to present on his Schenley Park scheme, but refuses to say what it is at present. The Board of Viewers will report on the opening of Forbes street and the location of tbe Haight's run sewer. HAD A EEGULAB LOVE FEAST. 'Squire Han del Betarni Once More to the County Democracy Fold. Tbe County Democracy held a love feast last night The occasion had been planned to arrange for a fitting celebration of the anniversary of the founding of the club, September 23, but interest was enhanced by the retnrn of the prodigal son, 'Squire Herman Handel, whose love grew cold some months ago, causing him to backslide and join the Bandall Club. Since then be has "seen the error of his ways," and when he came back last night, not only did the County Democracy kill the fatted calf, but in a body fell on the genial 'Squire's ample neck and wept tears of joy. The Democratic candidates for Jury Com missioner were present, and from harmony to harmony the numbers ran. Money was freely poured out to make the anniversary a success, and some progress made toward ar rangements for the October musicale. It was announced that September 23 should be the date for the commencement of active campaign work, which is to have no inter mission from that time until 7 o'clock P. il. on the day of election.

ITS ATTITDDE IS UNALTERABLEi Applications for Wdrk Pouring in From All Oyer the Country TO FILL THE SHOPS IN THREE JI0NTHB So many contradictory reports have been circulated regarding the attitude of the Westinghouse Company toward its ex-employes, and respecting the number of men who are now employed in the different branches, that an inquiry was set on foot yesterday to put i the matter beyond any further doubt. At the machine company's offices, on Twenty-fifth street. Manager Balph Baga ley was found within, having returned on Monday from ajVacation trip. He very obligingly submitted to queries on the sub ject, and afforde'd the representative of TnE Dispatch full opportunity of seeing for himself that the statements made were true. Mr. Bagaley wished this, and obligingly conducted the visitor through the shops, and placed tbe letters of application under his inspection. Asked regarding tbe position which the company had assumed, Mr. Bagaley said : I attended, about two weeks ago, the only conference that has been held, or that will be held regarding the strike. I returned irom Bradford expressly to attend it. It was held in Mr. Westinghouse's private office, in his presence, and was a conference oi the managers of the various "Westing bouse companies. It was the opinion 'of all present, WHAT "WAS DECIDED. First That we were now paying the high est average wages of anyone engaged in onr business in this country, and therefore I presume, in tbe world. In addition to the higher wages, our men had many comforts and conveniences which were not provided in other shops. Secondly That we were necessarily forced to meet the competition of our competitors in all parts of the country, who paid lower wages than we have been paying. In so far .as the "Westinghouse Machine Com pany is concerned (whose business consists exclusively of building steam engines), we must meet the competition of practically every village, town and city in the United States. Thirdly That, rather than concede the foolish demand for ten hours' pay for nine hours' work, it would be more profitable to retire from business altogether, or certainly to move one or two ot the establishments to Eastern cities, where an abnndance of bet ter average skilled labor is to be had, at much lower w?ges thanprevail in Pittsburg. Fourthly That no further conferences or consultations would be necessary, inasmuch as we all decided on the policy herein out lined as a finality. Continuing, Mr. Bagaley said: "Happily, no such course as that of moving any of the establishments Eastward now seems to be necessary. This comnany's normal force consists of 530 men, y'About 180 of these (apparently in the belief that we were so overwhelmed with orders that we could not afford to shut down) struck, and were promptly paid off and discharged by the company. Alter running for a wees or ten days, our snperintendent put the foundry force on half-time, so that the product of that department would not accumulate more rapidly tban the machine shop department could take care of it. BRIGHT MEK AND DOTS. "Of the 180 men who struck in the ma chine shop department, a very large propor tion are not machinists at all, and have never served their apprenticeship. They were simply bright men and boys, whom we educated for our special work, and paid ' them about double the wages which the same men and boys are competent to earn in other establishments. This fact they will soon learn to their sorrow." "How many men are at work?" "We have at work to-day, in this depart ment, 78 good men. "We have 20 others, whose applications have been investigated, who have been found satisfactory and have been accepted, and will consequently be put to work. We have on file applications for far more men than we need. Doubtless, however, many of.tbese men are not skilled in our particular kind of work. No doubt many others are unsuitable for employment in any establishment. "We cannot employ a man on his own say so alone; hence, each application receives careful investigation by us. Every mail brings us a large number of new applications, and it is my honest conviction that in 90 days' time we can fill three such establishments as ours and the electric company's with acceptable work men." ""What about the old hands?" "As regards our old workmen, I will re peat to you what I said yesterday, that is: Some of them, namely, the mischief breeders, will never again find employment in our works. Those wbo simply made a mistake, and were foolish enough to believe that any one could afford to grant a demand which is wrong in principle, such as ten hours' pay for nine hours' work (assuming that they are otherwise acceptable and un objectionable men) may be taken back at the old wages and at the old honrs of labor, providing their positions are not filled by other applicants. SOME COULD COME BACK. "Already more than one-half of our old men in the machine shop department have lost their positions permanently, and those who do not apply at once will unquestion ably lose theirs Jbefore October 1. "We, of course, would rather have some of our old boys back at their places, for many reasons, than to educate an entire new force as we have educated our old workmen in the past. But our old hands must not be foolish enough to think that they will be allowed to bring this company's business to a stand still. If our old men, who are unobjection able, apply at once I have no doubt our superintendent will reinstate them, but if thejr do not apply promptly they must not henceforth feel badly when they see their good places filled by new men who are willing to worK. Of cousre, when we once pnt a'man to work and he proves satisfac tory We intend to maintain him at all hazard's, and it is then too late for one of our old! workmen to ask to be reinstated in that position, and he must therefore count himself out." "What can .yot tell me regarding the situation of affairs at the "Westinghouse Electric Company's works?" "It wonld tnot be proper for mo to give you any information on that subject. You should applyjto the officers of that company. I will say, however, that we have already turned over al number of applications to them from men who seemed more suitable for their work than for ourown; and as soon as our own lore has been completed, we intend thereafter to turnover the applica tions which are pouring in on us irom every part of the country, which with their own, will certainly soon enable them to complete their force." "It has been published that machinists have been notified inall parts of the country not to accept employment at your estab lishment." SIMPLY A SrjBPBISE. "I have seen the published statements to this effect, but it the Machinists' Union in this city have notified pebrde in other cities at all, we see no evidence of it whatever. The number of applications for situations from all parts of the country simply sur prises us." "What is your opinion regarding the va rious shops that have conceded the machin ists' demands in Pittsburg?" "My opinion is that these shop hare sim ' 3. 1S90" ply conceded the demand temporarily as the easiest course out of the difficulty. The ma jority of them have accepted contracts which they are forced to fill under penalty. It is my opinion that just as soon asibe present flurry and the present unusual demand for labor is past, all of these shops will imme diately come back to 10 hours' work for 10 hours' pay; or, failing in this, they will shut down altogether." "Have no large or important establish ments conceded the demand for 10 hours pay for nine hours' work?" "None have, to my knowledge, -with the exception of Jones & Laughlins (limited) and Mackintosh, Hemphill & Co., both of whom, I presume, have contracts on hand which mnst be filled at any cost and withont much regard to tbe principles Involved. In so-far as tbe railroad shops and locomotive shoos are concerned, none of tnese have been asEced for 10 hours' pay for nine hours' work, to my knowledge, and if they be, I predict you will find they will take the same action precisely that we have. Any other course with us would mean ultimate bank ruptcy. Our business does not run by 'fits and starts,' as many shops do. Our works run continuously and regularly. WOULD MEAN A LOSS. "Our margin of profit is very small, and to grant such a demand as the present wonld simply mean- the taking away Irom our stockholders theirsole inducement foroperat ing the business. Our contracts with agents for our product are so drawn as to en able us to stop indefinitely in the event of strikes or disturbances ot any kind; hence, it is purely a question with us, whether it is more profitable to run or to stop. "It seems to me unfortunate, that as soon as a little prosperity makes itself apparent in the country, the workingmen, who derive the greatest benefit from it, should imme diately set to work to do what they can to dissipate it. Prosperity means confidence, and both are timid and volatile. Nothing dissipates them quicker than labor troubles. At the electric company's offices, Garri son alley, it was stated that 200 men were employed. Neither Mr. Pease nor Mr. Schemer could be found to verity the state ment. At the gas fuel company's shops, one or two men were seen about, bnt the plant was idle. SIHTfCK OK STBIKES. The Stove Moldera Have Made Demands Which Will be Discussed. The stove molders, composing the L M. TJ. No. 14, put in their last day of work yesterday at the old scale of wages. On Saturday last they submitted their new scale to the manufacturers, in which a de mand for an increase of 15 per cent is made. They agreed to work at the old wages until yesterday, but notified the bosses that they would refuse to work longer until after their demand had been considered. All the stove manufacturers in this part of the State have been asked for the increase, which will be discussed by both employer and employe at Bissell's foundry, in Alle gheny, to-morrow. OUTSIDE AHD INSIDE ALIKE. A Scheme to Flatter Honse Externally on the Present Internal Flan. Mr. Fred Lingenfelser said yesterday that exterior plaster work on houses to resemble stone might soon become popular. The plaster was rendered on a ground work of lathing as at present on the inside of build ing and could be made as durable as stone work. The system could be applied alike to wooden, fra'me, iron or stone buildings. It had been already tried and found effective. It is said that a company may be formed to undertake work on this plan. SOKE BIG OUTPUTS. The Edcnr Thompson and Dnqaesne Mill Turning Oat Steel In a Hurry.

Tbe masters decided to withdraw their de mand for exclusive work and the men all turned in to work yesterday morning. Flint Gins Scale.

Purchasers put more faith in the honesty and judgment oi that old and trusted music house of H. Kleber & Bro. than in anyone else. An instrument coming from Klebers' store, be it a Steinway, Couover, Gabler or Opera piano, or a Burdett or Earhnfi organ is always preferred, for the opinion of Mr. Kleber is looked upon as final and con clusive. Hundreds of people have made the remark: "Oh, I wish I had called on yon first and bought an instrument of you," and then they beg tbe Klebers to take the piano or organ wnich they bought elsewhere off their hands and exchange for the supe rior ones at the latter place. Klebers' prices are $25 to $50 lower than those of other dealers, and their terms of payment are easier. While other dealers sit around complain ing of hard times, tbe Klebers are kept as husv as bees. Don't fail to call at Klebers', 506 Wood street, Pittsburg, Pa. A Popular Krmedr, Mr. John Keown, the worthy postmaster at Keown, Allegheny county. Pa., says: "Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy sells better than any other." The reason of this is be cause it'ean always be depended npon. Let any one troubled with a severe cold give it a trial, and they will find that the first dose will relieve the lungs and make breathing easier, and that its continued use will free the system of all symotoms ot the cold. The promptness and certainty of this remedy in the relief and cure of colds, has won for it many sincere friends, and made it very pop ular. "wsu Very btrllsh and Durable.
