miESSZm w SRTr -THE' 'PITTSBURG "DISPATCH, TUESDAY SEPTEMBER, 30? 1890. ninmri if DELAY OF THE LAW. Hundreds of Cases Crowding the Calendar Beyond the Power of the Courts to Clear Away. SOME OF THE REMEDIES SUGGESTED SeTeral Lawjers Who Think There Wonld be Tlenty of Work for at Least Two More Judges. THE LIQUOE LICENSE GKIKD A BIG DEAG Beits Tilt Grow Musty Before Thry Eire Ch-ace to Beach a Heirmg. There is considerable complaint, not only among lawyers, but more particularly among clients, that justice is snail-paced, and that important suits that should in the interest of business reach conclusions, drag along until they are musty and until wit nesses die or co West. Complaint is made in the East that the Supreme Court is over worked or, at least, it is a long time in getting vital questions disposed of. Judge Jlitchcll 13 quoted as saying that for a remedy the county Common Fleas Judges might be formed into Circuit Courts ol Be view, with limited jurisdiction, and thus relieve the Supreme Court of consideration of many of the 1,000 or more cases that it is required yearly to consider. It is held that the Supreme people have not time to properly consider all the work brought be fore them tor review. , A Supreme Court Justice is quoted in opposition to this plan. His remedy is to limit the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court to cases involving more than S500. He was opposed to the plan of creating a circuit court of review, which Senator Shull, of Monroe county, intimated might be formed by the next Legislature. OKE WAT OUT OF IT. The Supreme Justice quoted proposed that in smaller cases than the ones suggested, where principles involved were important, appeals might be allowed and the Supreme Court authorized to issue writs calling for all the evidence and papers, and decide whether they should or should not be re opened. He said the Supreme Court did not slight small cases, and gave as m uch consideration to them as to more important ones. The Supreme Court of the United States only considers about 400 cases a year, though it has nine judges, while the Su preme Court of Pennsylvania passes on about 1,000 with but seven judges on the bencb. Pittsburg lawyers do not seem to be greatly exercised about this phase of legal procedure, but some of them do complain of delays, or rather of slow progress in our county courts. "W. B. Eodgers scouted the claim that the Supreme Court wore itself out in the consideration of small cases, and though he didn't say it, his manner seemed to indicate that he thought the Supreme 'Court didn't put itseif out greatly under the consideration oi its work. But many Pittsburg lawyers do chafe un der the vexatious delays in getting their cases considered in the Common Pleas. No. 1 is all the time a year behind, and No. 2 is not much better, since the duty of presiding in the bearing of applications for license to sell liquor has been put on it, and Judge Collier sat all summer hearing cases in the Criminal Court, and this branch occupies more lime irom year to year. EXPERIENCE OP TWENTT YEAKS. Charles A. Fagan, Esq., is about tbe best authority to be had on this subject, as his 20 years' service in this department enables him to speak from personal knowledge. He states that the Quarter Sessions now re quires a constant session to be able to keep up with its work, and it cannot be charged altogether to Justices of the Peace sending trivial cases to court in order to secure costs, as now a Justice ot the Peace can secure his costs withont sending up a case. Mr. Fagan suggests that as a consti tutional amendment would be necessary to cieate a separate Criminal Court, the matter might be bridged by having two more Com mon Pleas Judges added, so that the court could grind unceasingly. He also states that one cause of the increase of business in the Criminal Court is tbe constant influx of foreigners in tbis city, and says all anyone need do to be convinced is to examine the criminal calendar and observe the. nomen clature. The number of names ending in "ski" is astonishing, and so long as Pitts burg is the Mecca of foreigners seeking work it is not likely to be much better. Mr. Fagan lurther observes that while the Legislature has been taking especial pains to perlect the machinery of the Pittsburg city government, there has been nothing of consequence in the way of increise in the County Court department Though the count 's population has doubled in 20 years, there are no more judges on the bench nor clerks in the Quarter Sessions department than there were in 1870. Some 2,500 cases are tried in a year, while in Philadelphia, where the operating force of the Criminal Court is double tbat of Allegheny county, there are but about 3,000 cases tried, only 25 per cent more than here. UEED OF TWO MORE JUDGES. C. C. Dickey, Esq., agreed with Mr. Fa gan, and with his view as to remedy, the appointment of two more Common Pleas Judges. "William Eeardon, Esq., did not appear to think there was any necessity for more Judges. He said that Judge Ewing's plan saved litigants time and expense. He makes it a point to ascertain how long a trial is likely to last, and should it be a day or three days, clients, witnesses and ali others interested are dismissed for that time. This is a vast improvement on the ordinary prac tice of kecpinga "cloud ofwitnesses""hover ing round tne court rooms a week or more, as is often the case. The idea will suggest itself to many people that if petty criminals convicted in the Quarter Sessions were made to serve their time sweeping the streets or breaking stone in public on the county roads, the Quarter Sessions would be relieved of several hundred cases each year perhaps a thou sand. In cases where the sentence is a certain number of days to jail, the convict's wages might be paid to bis family, if the county have no need of the money. It not infrequently happens tbat the jailing of a law breaker sends his family to the poor house. MURDER IS CHARGED. Some Starling Revelations In the Death of Jnrnca fcolnn. Some wonderful developments were found yesterday in the case ot James Nolan, who was supposed to have been killed by a train on the Ft. Waajneroad at Verner station Saturday night. There is scarcely a doubt that he was murdered, and .Nick Cougblin is In tbe Alle gheny lockop charged with the murder, while tbe police are looking far a man with a black mustache who Is supposed to behis accomplice. Cnes of murder were beard abont the place In the evening, and the engineer of the only train that passed that point does not know of his train having struck any person. The body was found 40 feet from where the blood stains were discovered. ...... Nolan was last seen In company with Congh lm and another man at Sweeny's saloon, on Ca'S avenue. At 11 o'clock Conghlin told a relative of Nolan's tbat be had seen Nolan jnst a lew minutes before. On instructions from Coroner McDowell Detective Kornman made tbe arrest. SEEKING AMERICAN TRADE. A REPUBLICAN WHO WAS KEPT IN OFFICE BY CLEVELAND. The Ex-Conml at Barcelona Trying to Get Americans to Export lo Spain A Market Tlint is Reelected A Line of Steamers deeded. Fred Kcheuch, of Lafayette, Ind., was at the Duquesne yesterday. For 17 consecu tive years Mr. Schench was the American Consul at Barcelona, in Spain, and about three weeks ago resigned. He is now con nected with a leading Spanish house, and is attempting to get Americans interested in trading with Spain. He claims there are many articles tbat could be exported, and the Span iards would be glad to receive them. Mr. Schench savs that uuring bis stay In Barcelona, which is one of tbe principal ports of entry on the Mediterranean Sea, that the exports of the United States received at tbat port increased from J7.000.000 to $15,000,000. Barcelona is tbe only manufacturing town of any consequence in the country. He is anxions to see American machinery exported to Spain. For this reason be visited Park Bros. fc Co. and several other Pittsburg iron and steel manufacturers yesterdav. He left for New York last evenine and will return to this city in three weeks. He is in love with Barcelona and enjoyed his residence there. The bull rights commence during May and ore kept up all summer. Mr. Schench thinks that the American peo ple should establish a line of steamers running to Spain. It used to make him decidedly weary as Consul to see about two American vessels carrying the flag appear at Barcelona in a year, while tbe ships ot tbe Germans and English abounded. Ho declares that even one steamer to Barcelona from New York in a month would pay abundantly, and It wouldn't be lone before the number would be increased, and they would be going every two weeks. Tho lino o steam ers conld be established by private enterprise withont tbe aid of subsidies from the Govern ment. In return the Spanish have little to ex port outside of the products of tbe country which nould be chiefly raisins, almonds, nuts and fruits. AGAINST TEE TARIFF. Sir Edcnr Watts Thinks tbe Policy Will Soon Have to be Reversed. Sir Edgar Watts, of London, England, ac panicd by his wife and two daughters, arrived last evening and registered at the Duquesne. Mr. Watts is a member ot the Iron and Steel Institute, but be said that he would not remain here for it, preferring to read in tbe papers after It was over what they had said. His time is too valuable. Mr. Watts Is a wealthy ship owner and coal operator. He has considerable money invested inMiddlefborougb. Ky., where he is erecting a steel plant. He saystbe money he has placed in America has paid him well and yielded more than it would have in En gland. The recent strikes in England, he says, have increased the price of coal about 30 per cent, while the wages of the men who do piece work have gone up 60 per cent. The miners are in the habit of working not more than six hours per day. and tbe operators don't like it. Tbey would be glad to see tbe eigbt-honr or any other system adopted, provided the men would agree to work that many hours per day, but the millers insist on making eight hours the maximum, and then working less as they may feel like it. Mr. Watts is dead set against the tariff, and thinks the Americans will be compelled in a Ie years to reverse the policy or loss their trade. He admits it will help his steel plant in the Sontb, bnt he prefers to take a broader view than a personal one of the situation. Mr. Watts will remain here for several days, and then go to Middlesboroucu, PITTSBURG'S WONDERFUL GROWTH And Some oI"tbe Wayn In Which It Blight bs Incrensed. Ex-Manager J. H. Flagler, of the National Tube Works, is one of tbe men who thinks that Pittsburg has grown wonderfully and has a sreat future before it. He doesn t approve of anything that partakes of the Western boom idea, but he thinks such plans as have been proposed in The Dispatch are excellent, and if energetic men in the Chamber of Commerce could be interested, they would be willing at stated times to publicly discuss subjects tbat would pertain to the improvement of tbe city. He believes the people would attend, and the habit of holding such meotings would grow on them. He was glad to see that the people are awakening to their possibilities. Mr. Flagler states that if Pittsbnrgers bad been more enterprising in tbe past, there would be fewer iron towns around tbe city than there are. Pittsburg, however, in his opinion is a great city, ana the iron and steel delegates from Europe will have their eyes opened when they gel here. THE INJUNCTION GRANTED. Sir Hnttman Afraid n Democrntlc Cob crewman Will be Elected. H. w. Hartman, of Beaver Falls, went east last evening. He stated tbat Judge Wickbam bad granted an injunction for the Union Water Company against the Enterprise Oil Company to prevent the latter from rnnninc fait water into the rivr. This is the beginning of a red hot legal fight. Mr. Hartman had jnst heard tbat the Demo crats had nominated Mr. Gillespie, of Mercer county, for Congressman. He was afraid that it wonld resnlt in his election. He will cut Into McDowell's vote in bis own bailiwick, and, with T. W. Phillips in tbe field, the contest would probably end with another Democratic Con gressman from this State. He bitterly de plored the three-cornered fight. THE REPORT ADOPTED. Tbe Committee From the Cunmber of Commerce Will Look After the Gneili. The adoption of tbe report of the Committee on Transportation and Railway Mails was the principal feature of the meeting of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday. Tbe report concurred with the New York Produce Exchange and the Memphis Cotton Exchange in a matter relating to an objectionable feature in a uniform bill of lading. As the railroads have eliminated tbe objectionable clause tbe matter has been satisfactorily adjusted. Tbe same committee reported on a communication from tbe Central Hoard of the National Com mercial Travelers' Association in relation to the support of the chamber in securing mail boxes at railway stations. Tbe superintendent was instructed to address the Hon. A, G. Carntb, at Washington, and express the ap proval of the chamber for tbe establishment of tbe boxes at stations where tbev would be under the care of some responsible person. Mr. Morrison Foster then offered the following: "Whereas, The representatives of the Iron and Steel Institute of Great Britain, tbe Ger man Iron and Steel Institute, tbe American Institute of Mining Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the United States Association of Charcoal Iron Workers, and tho United States Iron and Steel Associa tion are expected to arrive in Pittsburg on Wednesday, October 8, and remain here four davs. "Resolved, Tbat a committee of four mem bers be appointed, of which the President of the chamber shall be chairman, to represent the Chamber of Commerce and co-operate with other committees in doing honor and extend ing hospitality to these distinguished visitors." Mr. Foster said the visitors would naturally ask if we bad a chamber of rommerce or board of trade, and In learning we had. wonld natur ally expect some recognition from that body. By the appointment of a little committee Each recognition wonld be mde. Tbe resolution was adopted, and the Secre tary was Instructed to communicate with Chair man Abbot, of the committee to receive tho visitors, telling him of the action of the cham ber. President Scbmertz appointed Morrison Foster, E. Wenthcimer and Rev. Dr. James Allison on tbe committee. A GOODLY OFFERING. Report of tbe Socletr for tbe Improve ment of tho Poor.

N0,TBANKr0U,JHA'AM Common Council Does'Kot Jump With Eagerness at Mrs. Schenley's OFFER OF A MEW PAEK ENTRANCE. Tho Ordinance Covering Pawnbrokers ii Passed Finally. v BIGHTS OP WAT FOE ELECTBIC BOADS Councils met yesterday afternoon, and the lower branch acted as if they were not par ticularly in love with Mrs. Schenley's offer of 19 acres of land for a park entrance for $75,000. Mr. Bigham, from the Committee on Parks, presented the ordinance, hut raised the point that the articles of agree ment with Mrs. Schenley should be printed with the ordinance, and on that account thought that the m&tter should be laid over. Mr. MacGonigle wanted to indefinitely postpone. He thought that enough money had been spent on parks until the streets in. the East End were fit to travel over. Chil dren and women were dying from, diseases springing from the poor streets. Mr. Flinn agreed with Mr. MacGonigle. The park was a luxury,' and there were yet many necessities to be procured. He, as a member from the Sonthside, could not vote to buy a park entrance he would never use while workmen in bis ward were compelled to carry lanterns when going to their work at night Mr. W. A. Magee spoke, of the rates of the land offered. It made no difference to the gentlemen who had spoken; they could get on a railroad and go whercthey pleased; the poor man couldn't But he could go to this park for 5 cents. It would be a mistake to refuse this option, and it would be re gretted in years to come. INDEFINITELY POSTPONED. - The motion to indefinitely postpone con sideration of the ordinance was carried by a vote of 19 ayes to 14 noes. Controller Morrow, in speaking of the matter, said that the motion to indefinitely postpone, if it was not reconsidered at the next meeting of Councils, would result in de ferring any further action untiL.tbe new Coun cil organized next April. After the Schenley Park ordinance was de feated Mr. Magee made several motions to adjourn, bnt failed to secure' a majority, and Common Council kept on doing business. The pawnbrokers' ordinance was taken "tin. and. although it was vigorously opposed by Mr. McGee. it was passed by a voto of 37 to 2, Messrs. McGee and Shannon voting in the neg ative. Mr. Robertson, Chairman of the Committee on Corporations, presented to Select Council the following ordinances, which were passed under a suspension of ibe rules and concurred In bv Common Conncil: Granting rights of way to the Duquesne Electric Railroad along Ells worth. Wilberlorce, Penn, Sheridan, Broad and Highland avennes; granting rights of way to the Larimer Avenne Railroad, with the priv ilege of selling or leasing its franchise, along Union to Broad, to Frankstown, to Lincoln, to Mayflower street, provided the Citizens' Trac tion Company agrees to tbe use of Broad street by this company; granting right of way to the Howe Street Railroad, with leave to sell or leae Its franchise, along Howe to Emerson, to Arabella, to Denniston. to Walnut, to College; granting ricbts of way to tbe Union Lino 8treet Railroad Company, a feeder of the Birmingham line, along Brownsville to Washineton, to Al len, to Second, to Asteroid, to Washington, to Brownsville, to Carson. , The ordinance granting Rea & Co. tbe right to lay a switch track on Try street, from First to Second avenues, which has been under con sideration in the Select branch for nearly two years, was passed by a bare majority of one. BEIMBURSING THE CHIEF. Mr. Keating offered a joint resolution auth orizing the Controller to Issue .a warrant of S1.32S 25 in favor of E. M. Bigelow to reimburse him for expense incurred by his trip to London for tbe purpose of receiving Mrs. Schenley's offer of land for the park entrance and tbe Carnegie Library site. The resolution explains that Mr. Bigelow invited Messrs. James B. Scott and T. D. Carnahan, Esq., to accompany and assist him, and their expenses are Included in the amount asked for. The resolution was referred to the Finance Committee. Tbe following ordinances were passed finally in Select Council' Authorizing the Chief of the Public Safety Department to purchase prop erty in the Twenty-flrst ward for garbage fur nace purposes: authorizing the construction of sewers on Woolslayer alley and Monr street: Aurelia street, from Landwehr street to Den niston avenue: Lexington avenue, from Penn avenne to Reynolds street; Plnm allev, from Forty-eighth to Fiftieth streets: Euclid'street, f rora Jarkson to Margaretta streets; Wright's alley, from South Twenty-fourth to South Twenty-fifth streets; Shakespeare street and Bennett's alley; grading, paving and curbing Atlantic avenne, from Penn avenue to Liberty street: lorley street, from Friendship avenue to Pearl street: grading Rose street, from Devil liers to Addison streets; relocating Thirty-third street, irom Penn avenue to Liberty street: vacating portion of an alley in the Twenty-first ward; opening Lexington avenue from Penn avenue to Reynolds street; Windom street from Brownsville avenne to tbe Twenty-seventh ward line; Kent alley from Fifty-second to McCandless streets; Fifty-fourth street from Keystone to Celandine streets; Duncan street from Station avenue to Fifty-second street; Spring alley from Thirty-second to Thirty third streets; Wick street from Colwcli to Reed streets; Wright's alley from South Twentieth to South Twenty-flrst streets: Syl van avenue from a point 250 feet east of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to a point 400 feet eastward; Cabinet alley from.

Tbe privilege of using tho lecture ball one morning each weeK tor a school of art and architecture was given to Mrs. O. D. Thompson, Mrs. John H. Rlcketsoii and a nnmber of other ladies. A proposition for the exctnsivc right of pub lishing the catalogue for Carnegie Free Library was submitted by Nellis fc Cbrijty. The prop osition was affirmatively recommended to a committee with power to act. Tbe intention is to furnish 2.000 neatly-bound catalogues to tbe city free of charge. It was also announced that the election for assistants in the library will not be held for at least a-month or two. AWAY WITH TOIX BOADS A Proposition to Open and Widen Federal Street Throogh the Hill. A sub-committee of the Allegheny Committee on Surveys met last night to consider the open ing and widening of the various toll roads. For the Perrysvllle Plank Road Company, D. F. Henry offered their road from the first toll gate to tbe forks of the Saw Mill run plank road for $14,000. From there to the city line, a distance of 1,400 feet, the road is owned by tb e Butler Plank Road Company. The idea is to widen tbe street to 60 or 80 feet, and make it a continuation of the Federal, street extension. City Solicitor Elpliinstone will give an opin ion in the matter at tbe meeting of the general committee to-night. Included in this will be tbe fact that the city can buy both the Brighton and tbe Saw Mill run roads at the price for wbicb they were condemned a nnmber ot years ago. Tbe price of tbe Saw Mill run road at tbat time was 25.000. The intention is to do away with all tbe toll roads. Tbe- snb-com-mlttee will simply make a general report to the committee. , Mb.

Weetlnir of tbe Fitt.bnrgr Bsptlit Auocla t'on Menn Considered of Promoting; tho Best Interests ol Christian Work In This Section More Money Needed In pursuance to action taken at the last Baptist Conference, a meeting of delegates from the churches comprising the Pittsburg Baptist Association Was held in the Fourth Avenne Church yesterday. The meeting was h,eld to consider ways and means to promote the best interests of the wotk in this field.. Moderator A. B. Campbell, of McKeesporl, presided, and abont 50 dele gates were present , The Key. T. H. Chapman, Chairman of the Missionary Board, presented a report. It showed that this year they were expend ing double tbe amount ever expended before. The increased outlay of money was to aid new churches which. In consequence of the nnmber ot new towns and the rapidly Increasing popu lation of the city, were springing up all around. Duquesne, Jeannette, Charleroi and other places were mentioned. The amount this year exceeded 2,000, and never before was it over from JL000 to $1,200. As a resnlt the board rec ommended that action be taken to have the contributions increased. The report was dis cussed and a resolution adopted to the effect that appeals would be made to all the congre gations in tbe association that their contribu tions be increased. A congregational meeting in the interest of tbe same movement was beld in tbe church last evening. The Rev. W. A Stanton, of the Shady Avenue Baptist church, presided and a large number were present The Rev. Mr. King and Rev. Mr. Kramer conducted tbe devotional exercises. Tbe Rev. Mr. Chapman spoke of the outlay required for new churches springing np as a result ot the rapid growth of the cities and tbe number of new towns. New fields were thns created and money must be spent to keep up the work. Rev. Mr. Applegartb. pastor of tho Fourth Avenue cbnrcb, preached tbe sermon of the evening. He showed tbat the function of the church was to take up and do that which Jesus Christ bad commenced and taught, and it should be undertaken willingly and with grace, which would make the hardest task pleasant If it was for Christ's sake. He closed with an appeal to all to give their aid to tbe work not only with prayers and tears bnt with their money. ACCIDENTAL INJURIES, Fingers Sawed Off; Limbs Broken and Other Painful Mlhhap.

Tho lien Supposed to Have Been Imported Under Contract. MANI INDUSTRIAL ITEMS IN BKIEF Immigrant Inspector E. D. Layton went to Jeannette yesterday to investigate a re port that abont 100 more Belgian glass blow ers had arrived there and had been pnt to work on the new No. 3 tank at tbe Cham-bers-McKee glass factory. In the morning, while Mr. Layton was seated in bis office engaged on his reports to the Treasury Department, a well-known glass worker, who is not a member of L. A. 300, called and said the Belgians had ar rived at Jeannette and some of them had already been pnt to worK. He said the men arrived on Friday night last and nearly everyone had a tag in his hat, showing that tbey came over in one of the Bed Star Line steamers. The man who made the report said he was standing at the station on Fri day night when the men got off the train. None of them conld talk English and all had very little baggage. They wire not ac companied by women, which fact showed that they had left their families behind them. Upon their arrival they were met at the station by several of their countrymen, who condncted them to boarding bouses, so the informant said. i infobmed the inspector At the time of their arrival the gentle man did not think they were window work ers, and as he is not in that branch of the business, he did not know of the scarcity of window men in Jeannette. On Saturday be told a nnmber of friends of tbe arrival of the men in tbe town, and tbey advised him to report tbe matter to Inspector Layton. This he did yesterday. In sneaking of the matter prior to his de parture Mr. Layton said: "I am going to Jeannette to investigate the report and if the Belgians arrived there It will not take long to ascertain whether or not they were brought over by contract. If tbe law has been violated, there will bo no "monkey business.' as in tbe last case, bnt somebody will surfer. In view of the hubbub raised over the other uit,I aid not think Chambers & McKee.or the officials of the Window Glass Workers' Association, would knowingly violate the law. I unaferstand tbe demand for men caused by the third tank cannot be sued, owing to tne scarcity of skilled labor In the window business r.ll over the conntry. I do not care to pnt myself in the position of wanting to tell the Window Glass Workers' Association how to run the union, hut I think tbe best thing 1c could do Is to allow more American boys to learn the trade. Tbe bnsiness is increasing, year by year, and It is not at all probable that the supply will exceed the demand. I do not believe In having foreigners in this country working at trades commanding high wages arid snuttmg out American ooys. uu noirignr., and if there has been a recent violation of the contract labor law it will be brought to light. "I have jnst returned from the Union station where I saw abont 75 or SO Swedes on tbe em I grant train. Almost every day there are several hundred emigrants at the station abont noon, bound for the northwest. One thing I notice particularly, is that a better class ot foreigners is now coming Into the country. The Swedes I saw to-day. were big, tine looking, healthy men and women, tbe kind of people tbat make good residents of this country, DON'T WANT TO BE SEEN. "Another thing 1 found, and one that is not generally known. Is tbat the Italians that come into this city do so unobserved. Theytblnk tbe Americans do not want them in tbis city, and if they can come in nnder cover of night, they do so. I thought tbe Italians had quit coming altogether, as I had not noticed them among tbe dally arrivals at tbe station. I mentioned this to one of tbe train hands one day, and be explained it by saying tbat when they came in large crowds most of them were ticketed to a way station, say Greensbnrg. They get off tbe train there, and come into tlid city on local train. I scarcely believed tbat until I investigated and found out that the In formation was currect. "Another thing I notice is that the Slavs are called Hungarians, and tbe low-down serfs of the former race are willing to saddle all their misdoings on Hungary. The majority ofpeo ple do not know the difference between Hun garians and Slavs, and call tbem all by one name. A Slav is no more a Hungarian than a Canadian is a United States citizen." BOYCOTTING STOVE F0UHDKRS. The Federation ol.Lnbor Take n Hand In the rtnulnoM. Circulars were received in this city yesterday from Samnel Gompers, President of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, in regard to a boy cott on the product ot tbe Michigan Radiator Company, of Detroit Mich., and the Rochester Co-Operatlve Stove Company, wbicb, he says, are trying to break up tbe molders' unions. The organization of manufacturers known as the Defense Association, it Is claimed, are back of the movement, and in the circular Mr. Gompers says: "If there are some wage-workers so recreant to their trusts and duty as to take the places ot their fellow-workmen engaged in an honest struggle, there is still another weapon left to us which we can bring into effective play if we are but true to ourselves. These firms manifest a desire to antagonize and are defiant of the power of labor to either win fair conditions or honorable treatment; hence we call upon yon to do all in your power and indnce our fellow workmen and sympathizers witn our movement to transfer their purchases in tbis class of goods to concerns or business bouses more in clined to accord fair and honorable treatment to the just and reasonable demands of organ ized labor." FBOM THE BELLEVEKNON FIELD, Tbe Philadelphia Compnny'a Big Main Brought In, nnd There's Plentr of Gas. The Philadelphia Company's new big main from the Bellevernon field was completed yes terday, and the gas was turned into it for tbe first time. The company says the supply will be good hereafter, no matter how heavy the de mandjs. This will be good news to people who had turn off all tbe gas in tbeir bonses Sunday In order to get enougn to cook dinner. The Sonthside bad more gas than they knew what to do with. Over In Allegheny the situation is different The Pittsburg Forgo and Iron Compahy, at Verner station, was compelled to shut down its mill vesterday on account of a shortage of gas. The furnaces in the mill nave been arranged to burn manufactured gas, and tbey can use the new fuel at 4S hours' notice. FRICTION AMONG MILL MEN. An OldTronblo to be Reopened In Cxrnegle'a Lower Union 3111'. At several of the next meetings of Ever Faithful No. SI, Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, In Carnegie, Fhipps & Co.'s Twenty-ninth street mill, an important matter will come up. It will be relative to a permanent and independent location of Cen tral Lodge No. 6. This lodge was composed of the heateri and rollers of iron and steel workers in tbe Pltts bure district before tbe Amalgamated Associ ation was organized. The old members have refused to give up their .charter, and have simply beld themselves as a branch of tbe organization, with headquarters at the Twenty ninth street mill. Their action has caused much friction in consequence. ANOTHER TRADES COUNCIL Pattern Makers, nloldera and machinists Want R Local Bead Orsnnlzntlnii. A general meeting of pattern makers, mold ers and machinists was beld last night at No. 102 Fourth avenue, the object being to form a kind of local head 'organization or Trades Council, composed ot the three crafts named above. A scheme is on foot to amalgamate the three unions off molders. Tbe trade is now repre sented in L. A. 1030, Local Union No. IS and tbe Brotherhood. It is claimed if tbe three consolidate It will benefit the craft, as not one ot the three unions control the trade. An Advance nt Uomeitcnd.

Tbe new scale gives the employes an advance of 6 31-100 cents on tbe ton. FREE RIVER NAVIGATION, RESULT OF A VOTE'AT THE EXPOSITION YESTERDAY, A Lnrce Majority In Favor of Improving the Allegheny Many Good Reasons Given Large Crowd nt tbe Paint Show Some Coming Features. The resnlt of the vote at The Dispatch headquarters in the Exposition last night proved withont a donbt that pnblie opinion is in iavor of "slackwatering and making navigable" the Allegheny river. There were only eight votes cast in the negative, while the ayes went down on tbe book with astounding regularity. Some of the affirmative reasons given were: "Think it practicable and will add to the general improvement in many branches of business and commerce;" "because ot its being purely beneficial;" "will certainly cheapen transportation;" 'It will bring with it wealth and prosperity." Some of the negative reasons were: "It will interfere witb the Monongahela river;" "tbe coal pool bas dissolved." To-day's voting topic Is: "Should a Citizens' Committee be organized to present Pittsbprg's natural advantages to outside manufactur ers J" The attendance at the Exposition continues to be large, and if the crowds increase propor tionately the building will not bold tbe people the last few weeks.

A MYSTERIOUS WORD That Bothers Visitor to the Exposition to Understand It Meaning. Visitors to the Exposition have been bothered considerably to know the exact significance of a word beard in thelower part of the main building very often. Wbat does He-No mean, and how is He-No tea different from other teas? The answearis easy enougb: He-No is a name applied to only pure tea. It is well known by all people tbat there is gross adulteration in teas, due largely to a lack of knowledge on the part of con sumers as to the real color and appearance of pure tea. There is only one brand of tea all comes from the same bush, and hyson, young hyson, etc., are but different sizes of grains. He-No tea is jnst the pnre tea with out being colored, or the leaves rolled into fancy shapes. It is jnst such tea as is used in China, and if people wish a pure .article they may be assured that in He-No they have it F. fc V. OUGAN. 8. Hamilton fc Co., No. Ol and 93 Fifth Avenne. This is virtually a new exhibit since the arrival of the Farrand & Votev pipe organ, the several reed organs and tbe new pianos to replace those sold, and it is all better than ever. Mr. Hamilton has tbe only pipe organ in the whole building at his stand and it is creating a sensation. Tne bass is full, rich, sonorous, and the upper registers are clear, pnre and-ol great carrying quality; rather, they possess that indescribable something to be found only in a pipe organ, for no other instrument in the world is so com prehensive, none other capable of producing such effects, and visitors find that this particular tone is the oue they would like to hear in tbeir own church. Those who find a pipe organ a little too am bitious are taking in the fine points of the reed organs in this same display, while under all circumstances the superiority and charms of the Decker Bros, and Knabe pianos make it impossible for musicians to do without one or the other, and those that cannot play. but want music, take in' the delights of those lovely music boxes, and those inter ested in bands or orchestras find among the small instruments "just tbe ideal one" they want. Who has all these musical instrn ments? Why, Mr. S. Hamilton, 91 and 93 Fifth avenue. THE INVALID'S FRIEND. Stevens Aojunt ible Cbnlr Co. When the Exposition nsed to be held at Smoky Island one of the chief exhibits was the Stevens chair. Crowds would stand entertained by the half hour when a deft operator wonld rapidly change tbis chair into its many forms, delighting the people hugely and making them go through light ning calculations as to how soon they could buy one. History repeats itself, for the same performance is carried on now that they exhibit this year; for have one of these comfortable, convenient articles they will, whether or no. Indeed, they are right, for no home is complete without one. They tempt to be an invalid in order to have a valid excuse for lounging in one. Visitors also appreciate the large line of library and office desks and chairs. J. F. MacuVr, 135 Filth Avenne, Is kept constantly employed measuring the visitors to the Exposition for their new fall and winter snits, selected from tbe fine stock of desirable goods now on view at this loca tion. Styles and materials harmonize par ticularly well this season, which makes them so much more becoming and satisfac tory to the wearer; and when you add to this superior workmanship and stylish cut and moderate prices yon have covered the whole ground. It seems a pretty long list of advantages, and your best method of probing the matter is to visit 135 Fifth ave nue and look, ask and inquire for your selves, and make a note of it, that you need a new fall overcoat, and order it with your other other suits', as in men's clothing it is not judicious to deal with different houses, that is, for those who can afford to be well dressed. Hopper Bros. 6c Co., 307 Wood Sr. The characteristic enterprise and energy of this firm, so delightfully manifested in their beautiful exhibit, is even more fully emphasized by a visit to their warerooms, where a stock of nsefnl and ornamental things fills the four vast floors from the en trance to the remotest corner of top story; furniture, carpets, stoves, kitchen ware, china, lamps everything, even to a Davis sewing machine. They are prepared and competent to fit ud your homes throughout in the most tasteful, nseful and economical manner. WHAT TO BUY In Fnr.

EXPOSITION PEOPLE LEAVE, And Call atKIrber Bros. After viewing the splendid sights at the Exposition most of the visitors (who mean bnsiness) call at H. Kleber & Bro.'s,506 Wood street, and select one of their superior pianos and organs. Tbey know in their hearts that to make a tine show is one thing and to give people the very finest instru ments at the price of tbe common second class goods is quite another thing. The Messrs. Kleber & Bro. enjoy the fullest con fidence of the public, and whether they ex hibit or not. whether they hold forth on the principal business street of Pittsburg, Wood street, or tu .uiamonu ur irm bucjf, jig pnblio will seek them out and congratulate themselves that tbey have ionnd ont the place which is utterly safe and reliable, and above the sharp tricks ot new houses which have come in at tbe eleventh hour, and which have to rely upon tbecrednlityof the public to get rid of their goods nsing elnbs and other knock-down arguments to bull doze their callers into buying their inferior wares articles which the Kleber Bros, had long since rejected as unworthy oi being as sociated with their honorable record and name. Such pianos as Steinway's, Con over's, Opera, Gabler, Emerson, and organs such as the great Vocations, Earhnff dust proof and Burdett, cannot be duplicated in this country.. Klebers' give an 8-year war rantee and sell on easy time payments. OPENING ANNOUNCEMENT. Onr Grand Holiday Dliplny of Japanese Ware. Beginning Wednesday, Octo ber 1.

The manufacturers of Carpets have given notice to the trade that orders for future delivery will be accepted ONLY AT. VALUE AT TIME OF DELIVERY. They claim they are forced to take this step on account of the probable passage of the McKinley Tariff Bill, which, as framed, will necessitate an advance of from 5 to 20 cents per yard throughout the list. Manufacturers of yarns will make no contracts for future delivery except at extraor dinary advances over present prices. We laid in an nnusnally heavy stock of all grades last summer, and will run it- all ont at tbe very low prices now ruling at this, the LARGEST EXCLUSIVE CARPET AND CURTAIN HOUSE WEST OF NEW YORK CITY.
