WT mg"mzW" mmwM THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH. THURSDAY. .SEPTEMBER 25. 1S9CT MANY MORE MILLS, Pittslmrs is a Healthy Child That Increases Steadily in Growth Tear by Year in the EXTENT OF ITS IROK INDUSTRY. Manufacturers Expending Thousands Dollars Jnst Sow in. Enlarging Their Plants of WHILE KEW WORKS WILL GO UP IN TIME Ecrr McKeesport Will Profit Froa tit Erection of u OH Kill Betelt. It is always interesting to cote the im provements and changes being effected in local mills, especially when these are in the line of enlargement, increased trading facili ties and consequent additional employment of labor. The largest extensions to plants in prog ress in the district are at the works of the Kational Tube Company at McKeesport. The cost of improvements there when com pleted will reach a total of $750,000. To their lour rolling mills, with their 110 paddling furnaces, will shortly beadded a fifth, larger than those in operation. The old Alikanna Mill, near Steubenville, O., which the com pany leased over two years ago, and have tince purchased, will be torn down and re built at McKeesport, This will add one more mill to the Pittsburg district, and make the number in the Mahoning Valley one less. The mill was built in 1872 with 25 furnaces and 2 trains of rolls, but was not constantly in operation. It was idle alto gether from 18S2 to 1888, and since then only muck bar has been turned out. "When re built at McKeesport it will hare 45 single and donblc furnaces, a set of 3 high muck and 4 trains of finishing rolls for the manu facture of skelp iron only. This will be a great boom for McKeesport, as fully 3,000 more men will find employment at the new plant TO MAKE ITS OWlf PIG. The company at present buys nearly all the skelp iron made for the market in mills in the city and vicinity. It buys daily over 400 tons of muck bar and skelp iron, and half a dozen firms make more or less pig iron for the company right along. "With one ex ception it buys more pig iron than any other firm. The two new furnaces, each with a daily capacity of 200 tons, will be blown in about the end of the year. Forces of la borers are now employed in unloading ore, coke and limestone, and there will be a stock of somewhere about 500,000 tons of material on the ground by the time the fur naces are ready. The Vesuvius mill of Moorhead Brothers & Company, which has four trains of rolls and nine heating furnaces, is to be enlarged by two new furnaces. One of these is now in'progress and when completed it will have four furnaces to supply the large traiu of plate rolls, something that no other train of rolls in iny of the Pittsburg mills has got. The bar rolls will have three furnaces, something exceptional, and the 28-inch trains will have 2. The daily capacity will exceed 150 finished net tons, the output at present being 140 gross tons. The operations of this mill go to show the big demand for pipes. Since August of 1885 the mill has been running ""on pipe iron alone, and has produced some where about 150,000 gross tons. The mill has old all this output and has orders for another 25,000 tons of the same grade of iron. AKOTHER FIEM KEACIUXG OtTT. The Pennsylvania Tube Works are also expending a big sum of money in improve ments. The company has secured all the available property in the neighborhood and the works will be extended at a cost of 550, 000. A new furnace has been erected where the offices stood and new offices put up else where. Two new furnaces, butt and skelp ing, have just been lighted up and several more will he added to the lap weld depart ment. The fuel gas plant is in course of erection. Subterranean flues, 2 feet and 3 leet in diameter, will extend from the pro ducers to the furnaces. As has been already slated in The DisrATCir the company is determined to make its own gas to obviate the stoppaee which were so frequent owing to the uncertainty in the supply of natural gas. These works have a capacitv of 400 tons ol wrought iron pipes daily, turned out from five lap and six butt weld turnaces. Across the street lrom the Pennsylvania Tube "Works the Pittsburg Tube Works Company are buying all tbe saleable prop erty in its neighborhood, with a view ot en larging the plant Several of the old build ings have been torn down and the vacant space is at present being used as a storage yard. The two new reducing furnaces in Park Bros. & Co.'s Black Diamond mill are nearly completed, at a cost of about $1,000 each. This company has a big demand to attend to at present Some 6,000 tons of material are stored in the yards, about one hali of whicii are ends irom steel rail mills. The old mil! office has been torn down and a brick building is in course of erection. A STEW FEEIGIIT YARD. Nearly a year ago it was stated in these columns that the Baltimore and Ohio Bail road Company had purchased the property on which the old Pennsylvania Forge stands. As the company was in no hurry to occupy the ground no change was made'in the mill. This mill was a built as a sheet mill in 1813, and for a great many years was tbe leading sheeting iron mill in Western Pennsylvania. Since 1887, wnen the finishing mill was burnt out, muck bar alone has been turned out The railroad company has at length given notice ot its intention to use the ground, and the unii win ue uiuveu to luansneiu earlv in the spring, ami re-erected on the same scale as prior to 18S7. The bridge over the mill will be taken down, and the low lands to the river's edge filled in. At the eastern end ol the property a railroad bridge will extend from the main line across Second avenue down into the yards, which will be laid with siding. These Improvements will give the company about another half mile of car accommodation. In addition tu these extensions of the capacities of old mills, the district will see the advent of several new plants before another summer hag come and gone. These will include a plant for tne manufacture of tin plate make of machinery; another blast furnace and rolling mill; the location ol an Eastern car wheel works in this vicinity, and the erection, in all probability of two or three tin plate works. Pittsburg is a pretty good-sized child as she is, but she has not done growiug yet by any means. BEADY W. FINLEY DEAD, The Well-Known Young; Bookkeeper Dies in Ireavrr, Ci larndo. A telegram was received io the city yester day annonnclng the death of Brady Wllklns Fiiiley at Denver, CoL, Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock. Mr. Finley was one of the best known young men of tbe city. Ho has been with the First National Bank for the past 20 years, and was at tbe time of his death in his S6th year. The cause of his death was lung trouble.

Snperlnlendent Dean and Alderman Werner Sent on a Wild Goose Chose Mrs. Ed ward HngbeV Sinngfl Delusion She Thought Her Husband Wain Prisoner. An instance of how apparently sane an in sane perron can be was shown last night at Alderman Werner's office. The case was that of Mrs. Edward F. Hughes, the wife ot the well-known Forty-third street contractor, who had sued her husband for ill treating his children and attempting to -poison her self. She told her story so clearly that both the Alderman and Superintendent Dean, ot the Anti-Cruelty Society, were duped. More than that, she has even had medical ex perts analyzing articles.of loud in order to de velop a poison mystery.' Mr. Dean learned of the true state of affairs and had the hearing stayed yesterday. Ths circumstances which led to this are as follows: On Monday last Mr. Hughes appeared before -Magistrate Leslie, of the Seventeenth ward, and made affidavit that his wife was in sane. He had accompanying him Dr. C. C. Wilev. of No. 81Z Penii avenue and Dr. C V. Marquis, of No. 1SS Forty-third street who also test i lied to the insanity of Mrs. Hughes. A tne insanity ot -Mrs. uugnes. certificate for her removal and admission to St Francis Hospital was made out An attempt was then made to take Mrs. Hushes to the hos pital, but she resisted so strenuously that the effort Mas abandoned and Mr. Hughes left lor Butler county, where he was working for the Pittsburg and Western Kail road. Before leav ing, however, he requested Dr. Marquis to give his wife special attention, and if bts wife wonld suhmit to private treatment to prevent If pos sible her removal to the hospital. In conse a nance of this. Dr. Marquis called on Mrs. iughes' jesterday. and has almost persuaded her to receive treatment Dr. Wiley was called on and stated that he had attended Mrs. Hncr.es for a long time since. He says she is suffering from delusional or hysterical insanity, imagining that her hus band and his relatives have conspired against ber to do her injury, ana that her husband had attempted to poison her and her children. Dr. Wiley stated thatMrs. Hughes had brought him some apples and coffee a short time since and asked him to analyze them, stating that her husband had put poison in them. An analysis was made, but no trace ot poion conld be found. On several other occasions Mrs. Hughes called on Dr. Wiley and related the most improbable tales, and also brought more articles for analysis. Mr. Hughes will return" from Butler to-day and make an effort to persuade his wife to re ceive private treatment. IT HEAHS FEEE LICENSES. A Law and Order Opinion of the Excise Donrd Pirject. A bill to provide for an excise board to re lieve the Judges from the duty of granting or refusing licenses, will come up before the next Legislature. It has caused widespread com ment, and already the Law and Order Society has begun to strike at it In an interview on Tuesday Lewis D. Vail, tne Philadelphia so licitor for tbe Law and Order Society, bitterly denounced the project as amove toward free liquor. Yesterday William Yost Esa.. the Pitts burg attorney for that organiza tion, was interviewed and said: "An excise board would mean free licenses. It would but tighten the grip of the liquor men on the State. In counties where there is a prohibition majority it would work, but where there is prohibition now and the matter is evenly divided everything would be thrown to the whisk- men. In Philadelphia and Alle gheny counties it nould mean nnlimited licenses. The whisky men would combine and put up money, while we could only fight them with sentiment and charity. We learned a good lesson in the amendment campaign. We learned then that sentiment would nut swing heelers, but money would. We are not able to put up the money, and if the license poner is taken out of the courts the liquor men Mill control everything. "Excise boards have alwavs been l failnrA They grant license to evervone who applies. What we want is to have the Brooks law made more stringent and also to have the granting of wholesale licenses at the discration of the court" BEBOILDING AN ANCIENT EDIFICE. The Old Covennntrr Church in Wilklnsbnrg to he Kcplice'. The oldest church in Wilkinsburg the Re formed Presbyterian, or Covenanter is soon to be pulled down. It is an old-fashioned brick building on South street and was erected in the early forties. Thus, for nearly half a cen tury it has been in constant use as a place of worship, and children that attend It now point to pews where their grandparents sat long be fore the present generation of youngsters was born. In tbe graveyard surrounding the church lie the bones of many who assisted in building the church, and whose names are lemembered as those of the pioneers of Wilkinsburg and ad jacent borongbs. Others have been removed to ueuiah, Homewood, and other cemeteries within tbe last 12 months. It is tbe purpose to sell part of the burial ground in building lots and to put up a ban d some new church on the remainder. The con gregation has been working very hard for the pat three weeks in getting subscriptions, and have already raised $1,600. There will be enter tainments during the winter, all the proceeds of winch are to go into the building fund. The congregation expect to break ground for the new church early in the spring.

S. Mulhern Gives His Seasons for Resigning Prom the THIRTY-SEVENTH STREET CHURCH. A Trustee Says There Was a String to the Hesitation. TROUBLE IN A BAPTIST C0NGEEGATI0N Eev. D. S. Mulhern, pastor of the Thirty seventh Street Baptist Church, has resigned, because, as he puts it, be was bossed too much. An endeavor had been made to keep the resignation and its acceptance from the general public, but it has finally leaked out The Thirty-seventh Street Church has one of the largest and wealthiest congrega tions in Lawrenceville. The pastor's resig nation was offered and accepted at tbe con clusion of the morning services on Sunday the 14th inst Mr. Mulhern was interviewed yesterday on the causes which led to bis resignation. The gentleman deplored the fact that the matter had gained publicity, and then went on to say that a few persons in the church had endeavored to deprive him of the right to exercise his privileges and had become altogother too officious, and he therefore deemed it best, in justice to all parties, to relinquish his position. "The reason events repeat themselves so often in the history of nations," Mr. Mul hern said, "is because the fountain-head of the evil was never removed. The great rebellion will never be repeated for the reason that slavery, the cause which led to it, has been crushed; but had this not been done we might have another Civil War. Churches are very much like nations, and events in their history oiten repeat them selves. COMPELLED TO DESIGN". "For many years there has been trouble in the Thirty-seventh Street Church, much to the regret of its members aud members of all other denomi nations in this part of the city. There are some excellent Christians In the church, and it grieves them that these disgraceful scenes are repeated. I have no doubt but that tbe public by this time is in full sympathy with the members and wonder why the disturbing elements are not eliminated in tbe interest of peace. Ministers have given up their homes and moved here to take charge of the church only to find that they are to be made the tools of a few, and after a short reign they tender their resignations. Such an experience make religion a laughing stock to those who judge It, not by its inherent principles, but by the con duct of those who shamefully abuse its teach ings. After serving the congregation faith fully for eight months, I was compelled to re sign as tbe only means or straightening mat ters out" Atthis point Mr. Mulhern expressed indig nant surprise that true Christians did not stand by true pastors, and put to rout the vulgar spirii wmen, ue saia, predominates in tne church. Mr. Mulhern continued: "I was induced to succeed Rev. J. K. Cramer, who held the posi tion for a year, and was then glad to get out or it I found tbe church in a condition not cqnaled by that In which I leave it, but my ceaseless enerpv in wpll rlninr rnnlrl nnt hn brooked by this vulgar spirit which will rule or ruin. After doing all I could to merit tbe approbation of the congregation I gave up in disgust my work having met with the disapprobation of the "few." I tendered my resignation to the congregation, and out of over 200 present seven voted, four to accept and three to reiect The rest of. the congregation was undecided and many were in tears, but 1 was persistent In toy desire, and took the action of the meeting as final. After the vote had been taken, one of my friends moved a reconsideration, b'lt I discountenanced this, and I told them I would resign whether they willed that way or not W. F. Maxon. Treasurer of tbe Board of Trustees.moved that my resignation be accepted, and he and three others voted in the affirmative, and those not voting were understood, under tbe Baptist rules, to be in favor of the motion. A DIBECT DENIAL. Mr. Maxon was seen at his residence and asked if there was any trouble in the church, bnt replied in the negative. He said Mr. Mul hern did not give any reason for resigning, nor has he given the three months notice which is required in the Baptist Church. Mr. Maxon continued: "It Is customary for a minister to give due notice, but when Mr. Mulhern ten dered his resignation he stated that it would take effect on tbe last Sunday of this month, and last Sunday substituted Rev. Thomas Lord, nf Allegheny, in the pulpit" When Mr. Maxon was informed that the pas tor resigned because he had been "bossed." he laughed and said: "Why, he had as much latitude as could be consistently given him and no one, to my knowledge, has interposed any remonstrance to anything he ever did. Mr. Mulhern is a friend of mine, and lam really sorry be has taken this method to air his griev ances. A gentleman very prominent in the church, and whose veracity is beyond question, told me that Mr. Mulhern bad come to him while both were attending a funeral, shortly after his resignation, and said he did not want to resisrn. and regretted that he had taken the step." "Do you mean that he tendered his resignation with a string attached to itT" "Yes; exactly so," replied Mr. Maxon. "His Insinuations are without tbe slightest founda tion, and any member of tbe congregation will stand by me when I make the assertion that the statements embodied in the Interview are falsehoods. His remarks tend directly to place the Board of Trustees In a very unenvi able position, and I voice the sentiments of tbe other members of the church when I state that his charges are untrue, and no ono else will be worse off by his Indiscreetness than himself. He is GOING TO HIS OWN FUNERAL in making such broad assertions. I have bad a very high regard for Rev. Mr. Mulhern, and no ono esteemed his friendship better than myself, but the episode will alter my opinion greatly. His resignation will not make any perceptible change in our congregation. I don't think that he can draw away a single person from the church. When he offered his resignation and stated that he would not servo any longer we believed him to be acting in good faith, and as further evidence that he wanted his duties to cease immediately he gave the congregation no Intimation as to what be intended tu do." Mr. Thomas Chapin. President of the Board of Trustees, said he thought Mr. Mulhern had been Indiscreet in charging the board with' dis courtesy. "Ho received the same compensa tion for his services as did Rev. J. K. Cramer, and it was paid to him regularly every month." said Mr. Chapin. "The church is in as flour ishing a condition in rcc.rd to membership and financial standing as when Mr. Cramer was pastor, and no better." Previous to Mr. Mulhern' taking charge of the Thirty-seventh Street Church he had calls from several other places, among others tho Calvary Baptist Church at Homestead. At ono time he was pastor of a large church in New York, and during his 20 years in the ministry has conducted a number of chnrcbes iu that State, some of which he founded. CUBING THE TOBACCO HABIT. A Kovol Way to Brenk Boys of Smokies; Clear Stomp. An instance In which the very popnlar toby reacted against itself and its future sale is re ported from Allegheny. Some three little youngsters from the Home for the Friendless were guilty of purloining and smoking tbe cigar stumps as found in tbe parks. The matron, Mrs. Speer. decided upon a rather novel way of breaking up the habit Calling them all into her 'room one day last week, she said: "Boys, l don't wish you to smoke cigar stumps they are so very unclean. When you want cigars como to me and ask for them. I really 'wish to be good, to you,' and as if to prove her assertion the wise llttlo woman presented them each with a genuine toby in all its longness and vileness. They smoked and suffered until Mrs-Speer says she was actually frightened over the he roic measures she bad resorted to and tbe he roic results accomplished. Bnt tbe cure was effected; the boys abjure the tobies and the stumps. Resumed Bulling;. Tbe puddling department at Howe, Brown & Ca's mill started up yesterday. Tbe depart ment had been idle for a week, partly for re pairs and owing to a shortage of gas. all lovers ot delicacies use Angostura I Bitters to secure a good digestion. Tissu 1 A TOUrTOFJNSPECTION. , NEW JERSEY PARTIES LOOKING AT THE ELECTRIC LINES. President Word, of tbe Newark Rapid Transit Company, Says He Considers Electricity Superior to Cable Hoods There Will be Rapid Improvements. A party of 79 gentlemen arrived at the Monongahela House yesterday registering from Newark, East Orange, Orange and West Orange, N. J. The. gentlemen are the guests of the Newark Rapid Transit Street Railway Company, and came to Pittsburg to inspect the electrio lines in operation here. The party includes officials of the company, newspaper men, attorneys and the Essex County Road Commissioners. Yesterday morning the Pleasant Valley line was inspected, in the afternoon the Second Avenue line was looked over, and in the evening tbe majority of the party went to thd Exposition. John A. Beecher, Esq., counsel for the Essex County Road Commissioners, said: "Essex county is built something after the manner of Allegheny, the four cities being lined with curves and steep grades. We were surprised at the ease with which loaded cars were taken up the hills and over tbe heavy grades in Alle gheny. A grade or a hill alone is not so bad, but It is difficult to find a motive power that will surmount both obstacles at the same time. Tbiiwcflnd is done by the electric lines here. The Essex County Road Board has control of 43 miles of telporzed roads, over which this and other companies want tbe Drhllege of operating electric lines, and we came here for the purpose of Inspecting the lines in operation so that we would have some idea of tbe work ings of such a system." Elias a. Ward, President of tho company, is a capitalist, interested in numerous extensive enterprises. He is a banker, leather manufac turer, street car man. etc He said last even ing: "Myself and officers of the Transit Com pany have traveled in all parts of tbe country inspecting the different systems of electric roads and we have decided that the Pleasant Valley line is the best Iu operation. Wo now have seven miles of electric lines in operation, have fran chises to build as much moro and hope to get a franchise for about 10 miles as a result of this trip. The tendency of rapid transit is going to ward electricity which is much cheaper than cable. We started out with the cable ideabut fell back to electricity. Electric lines will im prove and tho overhead wires will eventually go. The entire plaqt will not be lost, however, bnt will merely have to bo improved." Y0TING ON THE CHANGE. Intense Irterest Developing; In the Jr. O. U. A. M. Ballet. Tbe political tactics resorted to in the pres ent Gubernatorial campaign "are completely discounted by methods now being used to af fect the result of the vote on tbe change of name ot the Junior Order of United American Mechanics. The voting properly commenced last night, and it will coutinue until next Tuesday evening. There is an immense amount of interest stirred up in the matter. There are 18.000 members in Allegheny county, and it is believed that more than 10.000 votes will be cast for the now name Order, United Americans. Within the last day or two the subordinate councils have been flooded with a lot ot litera ture which local officials claim is misleading and is calculated to prevent members from using calm judgment in the matter and vot ing for tbe new name. Sons of Liberty and Colonel J C. Hull councils gave unanimous votes last night for the new name. Allegheny council was divided. Welcome, Gas City and Valley Forge councils also voted last night The councils that will vote to-night are South side. Acme, Twin City, Colonel J. B. Clark, William Thaw, General Putnam, Troy Hill. Sumner, Laurel, Sherwood, Lincoln and Hazel Glen. TO CHANGE THE GRADE. A Fight May be Made on Account of the Aiken Avenue Improvement. The city engineer was to have had a consul tation with Contractor Booth and M. A. Wood ward, Esq., yesterday afternoon, relative to the changing of the grade of Aiken avenue, in front of Mr. Woodward's property, which ex tends from Fifth avenne to tbe proposed ''Ara bella street. In order to get a good grade at this point the city engineer had a fill ot about two feet made, and as the Woodward property is several feet higher, he thinks the grade' fair, Mr. Woodward, however, claims that his property will be badly damaged by tbe estab lished grade and threatens to sue for damages unless tbe change is made. As the grading has already been done, tbe curb set and tbe street made ready for putting down tbe pavement, a change in the grade now will be very expensive nii iuo cuy engineer oujects to tne cnange. The conference was not productive of results, owing tp the C. Engineer's failure to aopear, and the meeting will bo held to-day. Meantime Mr. Booth had promised to suspend operations on the street pending an agreement AN EXEMPLARY CONCESSION. What the IT. K. Porter Company Purposes Dolne for Its Employe. Tho following notice posted in the Fiftieth street works of the H. K. Porter Company is self-explanatory.

With the exception of tho question as to vthat name the organization should have, every point was passed upon quickly and without debate. In that case, however, some objected to the name of Youths' Societies, because that would excludo the married men from be coming members. However, the matter was at last settled to the effect that all married men already belonging to a society shall have the same right as the single men, but that in the future, n hen new societies were founded only single men would be permitted to become active members. Thus was the organization of the 34 societies, representing probably a total membership of 10,000 Catholic young men from all over the Union definitely founded. The resolutions prepared at the executive meeting with tbis object read as follows: "In view ot tbe proceedings at the German Catholic Congress in Coblenz, Germany, and with tbe conviction that a well-defined organi zation of tbe German Catholic youth in the United States uill be. not only a means to fos ter religion and morality, but also a necessity to oppose tbe heresy of many people; therefore, belt ENCOURAGING SOCIETIES. "Resolved, By the fourth German Catholic Congress, assembled in Pittsburg, that it is the wish of the congress that in every German Catholic parish in tbis country young men's so cieties be founded for such aims as will he best for local needs. That in the German Catholic centers of tbe United States a centralization of such local societies be effected, under such regulations as may be suited to the surround ings and circumstances. That the central or ganization, which docs already exist (tbe one In Chicago), be offered the thanks of tbis congress for its zealous work in its circles, and that its constitution be recommended as an example to be emulated." The officers of the new Central Union were then elected as follows: Mr. G. Heldman. of Chicago, President; Mr. P. Wansbach, of St Louis, Vice President: Mr. Nicholas Simon, of Chicago, Secretary; Mr. Fred It Locffier, of Allegheny City, Treasurer. This bnemess bad just been concluded when the door ol tho rink was opened and all the most prominent dignitaries of the German Ro man Catholics In this country entered, greeted by the enthusiastic cheers of all those alreadv in the hall. There were the Rt Rev. Bishop Flasch. of Lacrosse, Wis.; the Rt Rev. Bishop Held, of Charleston: S. C: the Rt Rev. Bishop Katzer, of Green Bay, Wis. They had just atrived in the city, and as sevcial of them bad not been expected to nrr-oar at all, the surprise afforded more than ordinary pleasure. The Rev. gentlemen were accompanied by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Raae macher, of Nasbville.and Dr. E. Lieber, of Berlin, Germany. Tho Rev. Father Otten Immediately called upon the dignitaries and asked them to say something encouraging to the young men In honor of the successful formation of ths Cen tral Union. They all kindly responded. Dr, Lieber said: A HISTORICAL LANDMARK. "My dear young friends of Yonng America. Tbe fact that I am fortnnate enough in having the honor of standing before you and being able to congratulate you upon this grand achievement, is one of the finest surprises that I could have possibly asked for on my journey to this country. And that it was destined to take place within the hospitable walls of Pitts burg, will marK the Iplace as a historical land mark in the annals of German Catholicism in the United States. Believe me I am proud of you, young men, and when my eyes glance over the many rows of manly countenances here I feel it within me that you will never forget your duty of standing by the motber chnrcb, of retaining yonr love lor German traditions, and of promulgating Catholicism all over tho States." This speech was received with deafening cheers and a regular volley ot hurrahs for the great German politician. Then followed the Rt. Rev. Bishop Haid. who is Hell known In Pittsburg as having been the Abbot of St. Vin cent's Convent for many years, in fact as he said himself, "1 nas born in Pennsylvania and I am croud of it" The Rt Rev. Bishop Flasch mado a short ad dress also, and then lihibop Katzer was called upon. He declined at first, but finally said "Some time ago I made an address in Milwau kee, and sincol do not care much for speech making, because, on that occasion. I displeased a certain secret order to such an extent that some of Its members promised to watch mo wherever I went over the country." "A great honor," interrupted Dr. Lieber. "However, my dear young men. I am glad to see that you havo formed this Central Union and I havo no doubt it will prove of great ad vantage to our boly Catholic Church." Bisliop Rademacher pronounced his blessing upon the new society and tbe meeting of the young men was declared closed. THE PINAL CEREMONIES. The final session of the Fourth German Catholic Congress then entered upon its busi ness. A very pleasant incident occurred at tbe commencement of proceedings. Mr. C. W. Jaegle, of the BeobacMer, stepped upon the platform and, approaching Dr. Lieber, handed him a beautiful bouquet of flowers in the name of the German Catholics uf Pittsburg and Al legheny upon the occasion of the twenty fourth anniversary of his wedding day. The distinguished doctor acknowledged the com pliment in a neat speech. Business being resumed, resolutions were drawn up and submitted. There were six. Tbe first contained protestations against the sup pression and indignities heaped upon tbe Pope, The second was a demand that the education of tho children bo left to their parents, and that tbey should bo permitted perfect freedom In givtcg them -their education whatever way tbey saw fit. In the third the Congress pro fessed to entertain perfect obedience to the Constitution and to the laws of tbe United States, but in all religious matters they desire and mean to retain their nndlvided allegiance io mu tuyu. an uig luurm resolution they expressed their sympathy for the German language, preferring to use wherover it was practicable, but still tbey are not averse to the English tongue where the circumstances demand its usage and application. Tbe fifth contained expressions of pleasure at the establishment of the,Uentral Union of tbe American German Catholic Youths Union, and in the sixth tbe Congress congratulated the German Center party upon the success tbey had achieved in Germany in tbe Koltur kampi, and tbey also thanked Dr. Lieber for having honored them with his visit Tbis closed the afternoon session. THE AIMS Or EDUCATION. The evening session was attended by twice as many people as could obtain admittance to tbe Central Rink. Mr. Carl Flttell. of St Louis; spoke on the subject of "Parochial Schools." The aims of education," be said, "according to tbe teaching ot the Catholic Church, is identi cal with tbe end for which we were created. The infidel, who believes neither in God nor in a future life, to attain which is the ultimate end of onr creation, is well satisfied to furnish his children with a common school learning. Paying very little attention, however, to religious or moral training. The Catholic Church teaches the necessity and superiority of religious over secular education. The parochial schools, therefore, have for their chief aim. the preservation and strengthening of the Catholic faith and morals, without, however, neglecting tbe training in such other branches as are nec essary to aid the pupil in gaining a livelihood. Experience teaches that religion lightens the work of the pupils, so that with the extra work of studying the Christian doctrine in connec tion with tho other branches, tbey succeed in the latter practically as well as pupils of the pnhlic schools." He nas followed by Mr. N. Gonner. editor of the Luxemburg Gazette and the Iowa, of Mil waukee, who mac1 o a few remarks on "Church Architecture." AN ARCHITECTURAL POEM. Mr. Gonner asserted that there ,1s only one style of architecture really suitable for a Cath olic church, and this he described as the Ger man style of Gothic architecture which flour ished in the Fatherland, especially at the be. ginning of tbe thirteenth century. He also favored the symbolical; in fact' he said: "A church should be a poem from the foundation W the spire. The Rt Rev. Bishop Held, O. S. B., of North Carolina, spoke about tbe fiercest persecution the church has suffered In modern times by the so-called "Kulturkampf" In Germany, and abontlts consequences for tbe United States. "As to tho Inflnsnrn p-rorolsetl UDun this Coun try by tbe 'Kultnrkampj' in Germany."said the Kev. speaker, "the limited time will permit me only to give a few outlines. AH religious and many secular priests were exiled from their Fatherland, In order to follow their religious calling they bad to emigrate; some went to Holland, others to England, to Bavaria, South America or into tbe African and Asiatic missions; but probably the majority went to tho United 8tates. Tne crying want of German priests in this country had been keenly felt for years: it is said, that thou sands of Catholic Germans in this country have fallen away from their faith for want of priests that could talk to them In their native tongue. This want has been supplied to a great extent in consequence of Bismarck's "Kulturkampf." Besides, many conscientious Catholics, fearing they could not in the Fatherland raise their chil dren in the Catholic faith for want of priests, and religious teachers, emigrated to tbis coun try. And so tbe Cburcb in America got many good members, the United States many good citizens. In consequence of Germany's 'Knl turkampf,' " E. B. Gri-se, Esq., of New York City, spoke about the Raphael's Society in that city, aud tbo good it did for poor immigrants. DR. LIBBER'S ADDRESS. Next followed the speech of the evening from the lips of Dr. Lieber. Tbe immense aadience waited patiently for his appearance, and his rising to address them was the signal for a prolonged round of applause. When it had snbsided tbe gnest from o'er the seas began. "Whom the Lord wishes well. He sends into the wide, wide world" is tbe first line of a well known German song which tbe distinguished guest of tbe convention used as his introduc tion to tbe audience. Then he spoke of the rapid growth of America since be was here be fore, two years ago. From tbis be launched into the main part of bis address, which was composed of a general resume of all the addresess preceding his. He complimented the Pittsburg German Catholics upon their grand efforts and wonderful success In making so fine a display on Monday night He eulogized Bishop Katzer, of Wisconsin, for his stand against tbe Bennett law. Then be paid a tribute to BishopPhelan and Vicar Gen. cal Wall as the heads of the Pittsburg dioceso, the seat of tbe present congress. From tbis be contmncd and paid a grand tribu'e to Pope Leo XIH. and in this connection ho touched upon the question, "Can a Roman Catholic be a good Republj. cauT" He answered by saving that this is a universal question asked by Catholics everywhere with a slight change, according to the form of government under wtich they lived. In Germany tbey ask: Are you a good Monarchist, a good Imperialist? T say," said the doctor, "a good Catholic is bound to be a good republican, because the Church teaches him to obey the laws ot tbe State in which he lives as well as he believes in the law3 of Rome. Talking of the Parochial school I will not add anything to that which was stated already so well by Mr. Zittel this evening. I will only say, what you have, keep, and certainly under no cirenmstance allow yourself to be moved to exebange yourParochiai schools for the public school. 1 am sneaking from mv own exnerienca at home. What would we not give in Germany if we could have our Parochial schools back agalnl I know it will take another war of hard and desperate fighting, perhaps more severe struggling than through the Kulturkaupf. And now that you have these schools will you give them up?" Cries of "No! Not, Not" THE CHURCH'S JEWELS. "The public schools are an Injustice to the CatholIc'Church. The Catholic Church is the foundation and tbe origin of all modern knowl edge, wisdom and education. Where would be the grand treasures of the classical ages if tne priests and monks ot the Roman Catholic Church had not preserved them? Now, my dear friends, in the parochial schools you have a jewel of matchless benefit to tbe Roman Catholic Church, to your children, and to the future of your children. Therefore, whatever you do, retain them at all hazards." President Bruenlng again returned thanks to the guest. Vicar General Muhlslenen. of St. Louis, announced that be was tbe happy bearer of tbe Pony's blessing upon the concress: that the Holy Father had intrusted him with that message a few weeks ago in Rome. It was also announced that Bishop Flash, of La Crosse, Wis., had expressed bis wish to be tbe Protec tor of the newly-found Central Union of tbe American German Ronrau Catholic Youths. Then tho maonnerchor sang "Great God, Thee We Praise," and tho proceedings of tho Con gress were brought to a close. n Tho Review.

Washington County Dairymen Get Before the Bar of Justice FOR ADULTERATING THEIR GOODS. Panhandle Employes Suspected of Tamper ing With the Milk. 1I0EB CASES MAI FOLLOW SH0ETLI Milk Inspector McCutcbeon has opened a warfare upon Washington county dairymen who ship milk to this city, forsellingadalter ated milk. Yesterday evening six of them bad a hearing before Magistrate Succop, of tho Southside, and it is said that more will follow. On Saturday, August 30, Mr. McCutcbeon visited the Panhandle depot, on the South side, where all the Washington county milk Is delivered, and inspected a lot of the cans. He fnnd tbe entire sbipment belonging to John Oftleinan standing at a temperature ot 48 with the gravity averaging S2P. This was 8 per cent below the standard required by tbe law, and tbe milk, amounting to 23 gallons, was thrown ont The milk of A. W. Miller, of Houston ville. was tested ana found to be II per cent be low the requirements. J. F. Webster, of Mur ray Hill, had 12 gallons condemned, as the test showed it to lack 10 per cent of being within the bounds of what Is considered pure milk. George Trautman. of Noblcstown, bad 3f gallons, the gravity of which stood at 81. J. A. Cowden had 12 gallons which stood at 78. Wm. Auger also had a lot condemned. At the hearing last evening tbe defendants all swore that tho milk had left their respective places in a pure condition, and if it was adul terated, it must have been tampered with along the way. Mr. Miller said the train-men along the road sometimes drank milk from tbe cans and filled them up with water, and the farmers have made complaints about the mat ter to tbe railway company. Mr. McCutcbeon suggested that the farmers Insist on the com pany to put detectives on tbe road for their own protection, if tbis is the case, as no matter how the 'adulteration comes about if it is proven to exist the owners of the milk are held responsible. One or two of the defendants endeavored to find some way in which it would have been possible for the milk to become adulterated without it being done by them personally. One suggested that the cans might not have been perfectly tight and while tbe milk was cooling It might have taken water. Mr. McCutcheon could not see now this could occur, as it would not be likely that all the cans belonging to any one man would leak. All of the defendants but William Anger, were fined 810 and costs. The latter was dis charged upon tbe payment of costs. Mr. Mc Cutcheon said after the hearing that he thought there would be more cases from the same district before long. Besuilfvins Schenley Pnrk. Chief Clerk Joseph Bingaman, of the De partment of Public Works, returned yesterday morning from his trip to New England, where bo went in the interest of Schenley Park. He returned with many new ideas in regard to beautifying tbe landscape, and tbe park will profit by his trip. Clare in a Critical Condition. Patrick Clare, the ex-constable, who fell over the bluff near the Tenth street Dridge, was taken to tbe Homeopathic Hospital yesterday, and is now lying there In a critical condition. BIBER 2 EASTDN.
