The best time to see the pictures is during the 1 day when the throng is not so great, and a better licht can be secured. General Manager Johnston has placed j flaring notices on the walls requesting tL people not to touch the pictures with urn- brellas and fans. Visitors also are asked not "i to eat popcorn and peanuts in the art gal lery. To associate eating with painting the Exposition directors think is decidedly out of place. Last year it was carried on to a considerable extent, and those who broueht , lunches frequently ate them while admiring. ' some paiuting. Physiologists claim, how ever, that the surroundings should be pleas ant at the table, though it is a rarity to turn au art gallery into a restaurant In one rom last evening the electric lights were not burning. Of the pictures that could be viewed two seemed to attract the most attention. The "Giant Trees" and "The Last Appeal." Both of these paint ings are very costl v and were much admired. "The Last Appeal" in particular touched the hearts of many. It represents a beauti lul and innocent oung girl with delicate features turning her face to the executioner and making one more appeal for her life. Behind her is the man kneeling humbly MP7j T A i U 'mmw ; jQM$ .'-- - '-i-. i: i : "vvrti t's-jr ". l1 -y' 'i.i'iL-liifii Tryxng the Graphovhone. who has charge o the lagots. and in the foreground is the Mayor of the town with the symbol of his office and the leader of an army, surrounded bv someol his retainers. Those who visited the gallery last evening agree with the Exposition people that the display is by all odds one of the finet t, it indeed not the finest, ever ex hibited in Pittslfurg. Mr. A. S. Wall, who assisted m hanging the pictures, and is very much interested in the growth ot art liere, thinks the display will do much in cultivating taste for the beautiful. SCHOOL CHILDREN'S WORK. YOUNGSTERS SURPRISE OLD TIMERS WITH COPYBOOK ART. Teachers Bnsy All Dny Gettlns the Beauti ful xpecimeos of Chtrocnpny In rince All ike schools Contributed to the Ex hlbti. The school children of Pittsburg walked off with a prize at the Paris Exposition lor their clever work in crayon and drawing. Last May they commenced to prepare their exhibit for the Pittsburg show, and a most creditable one it is. Superintendent Luckey, Miss Ilalston and several otner teachers were bnsy yesterday putting the specimens on the wall. There are too many for the space allotted, and theje will be ar arranged on tables. Last night Prof. An drews and Assistant Secretary Logan took great pleasure in showing vhat the Pitts burg schools can do. More than one per son was greatly surprised, and the display reflects much credit on both teachers and pupils. The High School, normal department and 37 u aid schools are contributors. It is all done in pencil, the High School exhibit consisting of crayon drawing. All sorts of figures autf objects have been carefully drawn. Beside these 18 large books show ing the penmanship in the schools are on the tables. There are some remarkably good specimens written by the younger children. Superintendent Luckey states that the children these days are taught to write at the same time when they commence to learn their letters, and in the future the smart people will not be recognized by their wretched cnirogranhy. In the zoological line the students of the High School have made a very creditable collection of insects. A large herbarium has been prepared of local plants and flow ers. Mr. Luckey and General Manager Johnston, who saw the Paris display, claim that the present one is out of sight, and no comparison can be made, Superintendent Luckey is immensely pleased with what the children have accomplished. He hopes ome day to see them at work making clay models, which is more difficult. POPULAR TOPICAL BALLOTS. HUNDREDS OF VOTE ON THE ALL-NIGHT CAR SUBJECT.

The ratio of "noes" was about one in a hundred. A number of visitors from outside cities voted. Under one vote is the note, "ANew Xork cable company only procured their right oi way from the city by promising to run all-night cars. It was also noticeable . that a good many workingmea waited for their turn to vote "yes," olten remarking, "I have had to walk home after work and know how it goes." Those who voted "no" gave as reasons that it would encourage persons to keep late hours when thev ought to be in bed. They further said they never had any use for all-night cars.

Mr. Brendt Finds n Ulan Dead In Ills House. Coroner McDowell was called again yes terday to clear a mystery surrounding a death in Braddock. So far only a part of the veil has been lifted. On Tuesday evenine a handsome German applied for aid at the house of the Rev. Mr. Brendt, who is pastor of the German Lu theran Church of that place. The minister was away, but his wjfe, with her character istic hospitality, received the man. He was a handsome fellow about 26 years old and fairly well dressed. He wanted a sapper and lodging, and was civen both. Nothing was noticed wrong with the man except that he appeared tired. Yesterday morning the man did not get up, and when the minister went to see what was the mat ter he found the man dead. Mrs. Brendt remembered that she had not asked the man's name. The Coroner was notified and went at once to investigate. An autopsy was ordered and the fact that the man died of varioloid was developed. Up until late last night the remains were not identified.

HE WANTS HIS MONET A City Bookseller Arrested ori a Charge of Larceny By Bailee BY 0KE OP HIS FORMER EMPLOYES Tbe Defendant Famishes Bail and Then Leaves His Hotel AND IS K0T EXPECTED. TO EETUEN P. L. Kunz, the senior member of a con cern located at No. 533 Wood street, and dealers in subscription books, is under ball for a hearing before Magistrate Succop this morning on a charge of larceny by bailee. The charge is.made by Mrs. Elenora Wal ters, whose son, W. H. Walters, was em ployed by Kunz a collector for several months. The story related by Mrs. Wal ters, when she made the information, indi cated that she regarded Kunz & Co. as the proprietors of a swindle. Last March her son secured a position as collector. He was required to place $25 in the hands of Eunz & Company, as a guarantee of honesty. He had met with an accident in Oliver & Roberts' wire mill, by which he had lost one haud and his mother earned the money necessary to secure his position. When he paid the $25 he was given the following receipt: COPY OP THE BKCEIPT. New York MANtTFAcruRiNp Co. l Subscription Booksellers, Pittsburo. Pa.. March 16, 189a 1 Received of W. H. Walter, minor, twenty five dollars, as security for collecting, to be re f undedwithln ten days after his services have ceased. New York MANTFAcrrKiua Compant. PerK. Tbe trouble lies in the fact that although young Walters' services ceased several weeks ago, his mother has been unable to secure the return of her hard-earned money. After making several unsuccessful at tempts to get the forfeit, Mrs. Walters brought both a civil and criminal suit Armed with a warrant earlv 'yesterday morning, Constable Sherran, called on Mr. Kunz at his office ou Wood street The officer savs that upon his first call, Mr. Kunz denied he was the gentleman wanted. Sherran then went for Mr. Walters who identified Kunz. The latter was then arrested and taken to Magistrate Succop's office, where he wanted to have his wile's name accepted as bail, but the magistrate said that would not do. A commitment was made out, and on the way to jail Knnz met a friend who kept him lrom being locked up. In explaining his business to the constable, Kunz said the New York Manufacturing Company had become de funct some time ago, and that he knew nothins abont it His firm has only been in existence a short time, and yet Mrs. Walters says he is the same man who hired her son for the New York Manufacturing Company. r KUXZ NOT IN TOWS. A call was made at the boy's home, 'No. 319 Carson street, last niebt, but he was not at home. A man named Yeager, Mrs. Walters' landlord, said he knew of the boy's tronble, and had heard him say that Kuuz & Co. were not the most agreeable people to work for. A call was made at the Merchant's Hotel, Water street, where Kunz and his wife had been stopping. Mr. Hutchinson, the proprietor, said Kunz had left yesterday morning and had not re turned. He had no idea where the mau had gone to, bnt he paid his bill before leaving. Magistrate Succop said last night there is no doubt in his mind that tbe concern is sbacy. Other persons have called on him wanting to make similar charges against the same firm, bnt he always refused to take the suits, thinking it not worth while. The 'Squire also says that an action was brought against the same firm about a yearago, but that the cases never amounted to anything. No one coold be found last night who knew anything about Kunz. and whether or not he will be at the hearing this morning re mains to be seen. KOBE WOBK FOB COUNCILS.

Coroner McDowell Declares the B, Kond Not Responsible. (fcO. Coroner McDowell and the jury in the case of the train wrecked at Osceola en the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad two veeks ago, by, which three men were killed, visited ihe scene of the accident yesterday after noon, and after making a carefnl view of the three miles passed over by the train after it first struck the obstrnction ori the track before it was overturned, adjoored until this morning at 10 o'cloek, when'the case will probably be concluded. The only testimony taken yesterday was that of Night Operator Lydon, At Bissel station, a few miles beyond where the acci dent occurred. He disapproved tbe theory that has been advanced that the ties across the rails had been dropped from a passing construction train by testifying that at 8:35 that night a passenger train had passed over the line and had met with no obstruction. Afterward, shortly beloro the time of the accident, two through freight trains passed over on the same track, and there was not a car carrying railroad ties in either train. There was not a construction train of any kind passed over the line between Pittsburg and Bissel from 8 o'clock that evening to the time of the accident, and the obstrnction of the track had been done within three quarters of an hour before the accident oc curred. The Coroner considers this evidence con clusive, when considered with the result of his investigation of yesterday and the testi mony heretofore presented. There is yet no clew to tbe perpetrators of the plot, and a verdict will probably be rendered charging the crime to a person or persons unknown. CHICAGO'S MATOB'S VIEWS. He Sara the Force BUI Is Mot Favorably Considered There. The Hon. D. C. Cregier, Mayor of Chicago, accompanied by Mrs. Cregier, arrived in the city yesterday en route to New York on a pleasure tour. Mayor Cregier talked of Chicago and her people, he said: "The people of Chicago are not taking much interest in anything of a public nature at present outside of tbe World's Fair, and opinions differ widely as to the location of the world's exhibit. While not engaged discussing the probable site for the fair, thev give some thought to the questions uppermost in the minds of peo ple in every section. They do not take kindlv to the force bill, from what I have heard. The leading business men of our city pro nounce it to be one of tbe most radical and unconstitutional measures ever introduced in the Senate, and believe that Kit is passed, it will materially affect tbe business relations that now exist between the Northern and Southern States. "I think that the bill, if passed, will un questionably put the conntry in the same position as European nations which are governed by nnscrupulous rulers. It is so rabid that I don't see how any fair-minded man, with the nation's welfare at heart, could conscientiously advocate it I believe that tariff reform will ultimately be broqght about Tbe condition and opinions of American people demand that material changes be made on tariff duties." AKOTHEB PHASE OF IT. Policeman Schnfer'a Superior Offlcor Up holds Ills Action. Captain Stewart, of the Sonthside, said last night that Officer Shafer had been fully justified in shooting at Elkins, the man he had the fight with on Mt Washington. The officer had a warrant for Eikius, who was wanted on a charged of disorderly con duct During the fiht; between the two men Elkins bit the points from two of Shafer's fingers. Captain Stewart says Shafer is one of the best officers on the force and if the people of Mt Washington had been given the true version of the fracas, they would not have gone to the trouble of getting up a petition lor his removal.

SOME ' BKEAK AWAY Employes of the Westinghonse Elec tric Company Decide THAT THEY WOK'I FIGHT LONGER, Sat the Machinists Remain Firm in Their Original Demands. OTHER BRANCHES STILL OS STRIKE. The Westinghonse Electric Company's strike has reached the end, bnt there is no change at tbe machine company's plant. ' The Executive Committee of the striking employes of the Electric and Manufacturing Company, which had charge of the strike, met yesterday morning at 8:30 o'clock at their nsual meeting place in Strawberry alley. There was a full attendance. Dis cussion at once centered around the senti- Iments of the company as expressed In the interview with Manager Kalpn isagaiey, ot 'the machine company, and which appeared in The Dispatch yesterday. The statement was accepted as outlining positively and clearly the attitude of the managers of the various branches with re gard to the position taken by the men form erly in their employ, and was regarded iu the nature of an official deliverance on the question. The prospects, conditions, and outlook of the strike were freely canvassed, and, as a result ot the meeting the general Bentiment ended in agreeing that they had "been whipped in a fair fight" as the mem bers expressed. The chairman of the meet ings, Mr. Charles M. Mason, insisted on sur rendering command at once, rather than later, 1fa disorganized force, saying that tbe number of men who had gone back had brokenjthe strike. He therefore recom mended the committee to declare the strike off. The committee acquiesced, and it was done at 9 o'clock, with the exception of as far is the detail department was concerned. They reserved their decision until they should meet in the afternoon. When the result of the deliberation became known, the em ployes dropped down to ihe offices in Garri son alley and began to make terms for them selves. Some of them were rejected, while a good many got piomises of work and others were taken back. The detail department held a meeting at 5 o'clock in Jefferson Hall, Allegheny. There was a majority of the instrument and tool makers present. A sub-committee was sent to Foreman Philip Lang, asking if they might be reinstated as a body. Mr. Lang replied in effect that no man was pro scribed. ''Let each man," he said, "stand in his position to-morrow morning, and I or Mr. Sass will wait upon him and designate work or tell him when he can come back to work, as owing to the delay things had got ten into some contusion and it would take a few days to straighten out matters." This reply the sub-committee reported at another meeting held last night in Alle gheny. The decision of the meeting could not be obtained. Chairman Kirk, of tbe Execntive Com mittee of the machinists' organization, was asked for a statement He said: "The ac tion of the Electric Company's men was taken without notifying or consulting me. We have had nothing to do with their break ing away. So iar as tbe machinists in which I include the instrument makers are concerned, there will be no compromise. The strike is still on and, so far as I see, will remain on. There are some people collect ing money without proper credentials. No one should pay money on books which have not my signature as chairman." BBITI8H INSTITUTE BECEPTION. Farther List of Members Omitted In Yes terday's Account.

It Will be Located at New Porto se and a Pltlsbarffer Is In If. The old town of New Portage, O., will within a short time be ranked amodg the foremost of manufacturing places in the Buckeye State. Tbe sudden elevation of the town is due to a number of capitalists, who have selected that place for the location of a large boiler works, a blast furnace and a rolling mill, which will be operated by a syndicate or stock company known as the Sterling Manufacturing Company, with O. C. Bar bour,, of New York, President; Allan M. Sterling, Secretary and Treasurer, and Thomas J. Deegan, of James P. Witherow & Co., General Manager. The organization has a paid in capital of 5500,000. The company is a reorganization of the. defunct International Boiler Company. The company negoti ited for the purchase of a. tract of land at New Castle, but found that an English syndicate had gobbled all tbe available manufacturing sites at that place. Tbe company contemplates erecting a tnhe works to be operated in conjunction With the other plants. SEDUCED TO NINE H0UBS Is the Dnj Work In tbe Ptnnsv Shops, bat the Men Bllck. Master Mechanic Schafer, of the Pennsyl vania Bailroad Company shops, yesterday caused a notice to be posted in the works in forming the men that from to-day the hours ot labor would be reduced to nine hours. A general kick has ensued in consequence. The men are paid by the hour, and don't appreciate losing an hour's wages every day. The machinists and boiler makers at once notified the master mechanic that they would not work to-day, an'd the other employes held meetings last night and discussed what action theyt should take. What the out come will be.is not said. STILL BOBBING TIP SEBENELY. SSSSSB Homer DIcGaw Appear at ilia Tristlng-, ' Bnt Not Hli Opponents. Last evening- was set for another seance in the McGaw case. Mr. McGaw was noti fied to be at the office on Smithfield street, near Fifth avenue, but, on arriving there with his witnesses found the place in dark ness. On inquiry it was found that the senance was to be held at No. 41 Fifth ave nne. Here Mr. McGaw, accompanied by his attorney, L. K. Porter, Esq., and wit nesses, put in an appearance. This was the third time of asking, but neither Mr. Campbell, Mr. Cotton nor others on the opposing side put in an ap pearance, and alter waiting over an honr, Mr. McGaw and his friends went their way. No one seems to know when this wild goose chase will end. McGaw has showed up every time he has been notified, but his op ponents have held aloof. CLOSING THE LOOP-HOLE. The Factory Law Blur be Amended by the Next IieiElsIatnrr. At tbe next session of the Legislature a number of changes in the present factory law will be asked for. The greatest loop hole for the evasion of the law, and which practically makes the law a dead letter; is section 14, which provides that : No person or firm or corporation employing less than ten persons who are women or chil dren shall be deemed a factory, manufacturing or mercantile establishment, within the mean ing of this act. It is under this section that nnscrnpnlous employers thrive, by engaging women and children under age" to do work that the spirit of the law, and common humanity forbids them from doing, i There is a gen eral opinion that this section of the law should be repealed, and there are indica tions that a movement will be placed on foot to have the matter remedied by tbe next Legislature. Another phase of the question sought to be remedied is with re gard to the division of the districts and the location of tbe inspectors. The State is at present divided into three districts. The section of the State west of the Allegbenies comprises one division aud is apportioned between two persons. One is Assistant In spector Baker, who resides at Corry, Pa., and Mrs. Leslie, whose home is at Titus ville. In a.u interview printed in The Dis patch on Monday last, Mr. William Mar tin was emphatic in declaring that such a large industrial center as Pittsburg should have inspectors familiar with the locality, and that, generally, inspectors shonld re side where their works mostly lie. This sentiment found general endorsement yes terday among labor leaders spoken with on the subject TBACTION HEN THANKFUL. Citizens' Line Employes Get More Par and Better Working; Hoars. The Dispatch some time ago referred to the fact that the Citizens' Traction line em ployes were agitating for a reduction in hours.

Yesterday the pay of the grip men was raised from 2 25 to 82 40, and that of the conductors from $2 to 82 20. Tbe time schedule was also rearranged. The "swingers" who formerly were the first out in the morning and the last home at night, will now be relieved at 9 o'clock. The arrangement gives general satisfaction to the men.

September a Last night at 6 o'clock, on a farm IG miles south of Doland, while on the straw stack at the threshing machine, Peter Peterson was in stantly killed by a bolt of lightning from. an almost clear sky. The stack was about 15 feet high. As the bolt struck the stack a flame ascended six feet and 't left a hole the size of a barrel from the top to the bot tom of the stack. Peterson was found dead on the stack with his clothing torn off. The deadly fluid apparently struck the top of his head, tore the hair and skin from his head, ran down his body, tore off the skin and left the body bleeding all over, with several holes torn ont of the flesh. Hin clothing was ripped offandlaybyhis side burning. Stranger yet, the straw stack apparently did not burn. Extending Their Lines.
