7.-. THE ' PITTSBURG DISPATCH, .FRIDAY.' OCTOBER 8. 1S90. 2 ripwy '?s!m!Wr-ir mp? V ft porter and beer imported in ball: hare been increased 15 cents per gallon, and I judge the sale will be limited in the future. Who is to pay the advance? It is hard to say, but I think it will mostly be by the retailer. The advances are not very great, and the retailer can hardlv increase his price. He may, though, give a smaller glass than formerly, especially of beer from the cask. Selling bottled beer, be must stand the in crease himself, as he can bardlv tax his cus tomer? the additional cent. The customer -wouldn't pav it. The duty on still wines will help the sale of California wine', which, if thev only had the age, are better than the imported article, being purer. I don't think any effect will be immediately felt. Importers will, I think, sell their present stock at the old rates. I know I shall. I don't think importers have stocked up beyond their requirements in view of a change in the tanfl." WHAT "WIIiIi BE AFFECTED. Sigmund Roedelheim, of Adler, Bocdel heiin & Co. The new tariff on brandies and spirits will not affect these liquors to any extent; the increase is not large enough. It is very likely, thoutrb, that California wines and brandies will be used to a mucn greater extent than formerly. They are a better drink than much that is sold as im ported wine. The high-priced imported stuff will be bought by the rich people, who don't care what price they pay. The ma jority of the people prefer a drink of good rye to all the imported drink tou can set up, so the increased prices will not much aflect the public in reneral. In fact, I can't see how the trade will be much affected any way. The retailers will have to stand the increase, and they will likely get even by giving their customers a smaller drink. They needn't do so, as they make big profits as it is, and can afford not to raise the nnce or dimmish the quantity they now sell. "Wholesalers will take advantage of the new rates and advance the prices accord ingly. I should say they would raise their prices at once. There has been a good deal of speculation, and importers hold large stocks." T. D. Casey Anyone who wants to drink champagne will have to pay more for it, but otb" drinks will probably be replaced by liquors and wines of home manuueture. California wine is a purer drink than im ported wines, and It will go into greater consumption. Xative liquors will replace the oreign article to a great extent, as re tailers will not be able to get more for their drinks than at present, and will not handle so much o: them in iuture. I don't think the consumer will be affected at all by the new tanfi, as the increase is not very con siderable after all. OT OVERSTOCKED. There have not been any large stocks im ported in view of the increase, and there has not been much speculation on the result of the action of Congress. I think importers will tate advantage of the new law and sell their present stock at ennanced figures. Some of tuem will find it very hard to get their stocks out of bond betore February 1 next, when the duty on what they now hold will be enforced. Ed. V Forter, of the Diamond, said: "Re tailers will probably have to-suffer from the increased duties. The increase is so small that no extra price can be charged. How will re tailers get even? Very likely by adulterating the liquors they hare to pay higher prices for. This is the oalv wa they can do so exceptlnc by selling smaller glasses. But here again they will suffer, as customers will not reflect on the higher cost to the retailer when helping them selves to a drink. Bottled beer and beer im ported in casks cannot be adulterated, and on tucn arlnkstne retailer win iiaveio suna me increase, as it is so small he cannot tax the cus tomer. The increased dntyon beer in casks is 15 cents per gallon That would amount to an ad vance of about 1 cent a glass on beer now sell mgat 10 cents. If a retailer were to ask his customer to pa 11 cents for the drink lie w ould only be laughed at, so, you see. he must stand it. 310KE GOOD WOEDS FOE ROME WINES. "Imported brandies and still wines are not to be compared to the California product, which only require age to be as good, besides being more wholesome. The advance on champagne is not a matter that interests the general public Terj much." feaid Georce W. Mashey "The increase in imported stuff will have to be borne by the retailer and not by the customer. When you spread the additional cost over a number of single drinks the increase is so small that there is no room for a hizber price by retail. The increase will stand on the retailer about three quarters of a cent or a cent a glass, and he can not charce his customer the odd cent. He wouldn't pay 1L Some dealers may try and get e en bj lessening the size of the drink and pro viding a smaller class but I inteud continuing in the old way. I don't know what the others mavilo. I don't think there has been much stocking up by retailers in anticipation of having to pay higher prices for their liquor." Ph. Hamberccr, the wholesaler in Diamond Eqnarc, tLought the consumer wonld be com pelled to tand the increase on spirituous and vinous liquors. The increase on champagne is so trivial that the consumer will not be obliged to pa it unless he purchases in bulk. 1 be retailer will be the loser by the new law, unless he gives a smaller quantity or an in ferior article to een up on Max fcchamberjr said- "Those who drink foreign liquors will not mind paying the frac tional increase, as indulgences iu those bever ages is confined to the wealthy." A. Guckenheimer thought that the consumer would be compelled to make up the difference between the existing prices and that which the new tariff will establish. Mr. Ilenziehauscn, of Schnltz t Renzie hausen. said 1 received a letter from Burke t Go- the importers of Bass' ale. to-day, which stated that the increased tariff duties would not affeet their article materially, and it could be retailed at present prices " K. Andnes-cn thinks that fastidious persons who drink foreign liquors will be compelled to pay the increase. "American gin will be in greater demand under the tariff," he added. Mr. Holdcn, tue Federal street druggist, said that the ncreasc on bay rum wonld not affect its sale in the least. He said the barbers never used the imported article in their business, but instead, a preparation that everv druggist can make. Uhe sale of imported bay rum, he ttatcd, was with the wealthy. PREPARED FOR IT. ALL THE HOTELS HAVE BIG STOCKS OF tLIQUORS ON HAND. Cuainnacne Will be Advanced to S4 Per Qunri California Winea M?y Come Into Grnrinl Use Home Trade 3Iny be Ben efited by the Advance. Regular old champagne drinkers will have to pav more for their Mumm's extra dry. and the jingle of more silver will be heard accompanying the pop of a bottle of Pommery Sec. It is gratifying to common people, however, that the price of beer will remain the same and the quality and quan tity of the free lunch will not diminish to any great extent Champagne now selling for Jl 75 and S3 75 for pints and Quarts repectively, will jump to J2 and 4. Brandies and spark ling wines will also go up, and the theater goer "who goes out to see a man" between the acts and looks at lum orerapintof Bjss ale need not be surprised if the price of his favorite beverage goes np with the cork. A tour of the hotels was made yesterday, ami the proprietors asked what effect the Mc Kinle bill would have on the price of liquors. The first place visited was the Monongabela House, where Charles Homes, one of the pro prietors and a partner in the firm of W. H. Holmes fc Son, was accosted. Mr. Holmes said: "We took time bv the forelock, so to speak, and while the bill was being framed we laid in a big stock tf champagne, which I think will be the only article any change will be made in. Some of the wholesale lianor dealers are push ing the price up now. but as we have a big stock on hand we will stick to the old figures until it runs out. Good champagne retails now at $1 To per pint, and It will be advanced to J or course other liqnors will be effected and they will cost the jobbers and importers more, but as far as the consumer is concerned 1 do not think there will be much change. J. B. Schlosser. pronnetor of the Hotel Bcblosser It is pretty nearly time California wines were being generally introduced, and the advance in the tariff mil give the borne mar ket an impetus. The prices of imported cham pagne will have to advance, as there is little profit in the business now. We sell quarts for $3 75, and at a dinner must furnish ice, service, etc. After the cost of everything is taken into consideration thcro Is but a small martin of profit left, and the price must necessarily in crease. People who Indulge in cbampagne only now and then may object to paying the increased rate, and then they will buy Califor nia wines. As far as the eplcnres are con cerned, it will make no difference: they will drink as much at JJ per quart as they would at 3 7a. William H. Crosby, Hotel Anderson If the prices go np on us and everybody else makes a corresponding increase, we will have to do the r-auie, but we will not advance anything until we are compelled to. As tar as the general trade at the bar is concerned there will be no increase, and the glasses will not be made any smaller. The majority of people drink bier, anyhow, so it will make little difference to them whether the man that drinks champagne pays more lor it or not. We have a big stock cf champagne enough to run ns until next July, so on see we are prepared for the advance. William Witherow. Hotel Duquesne There is a very small margin of pront on champagne now, and the advance In tariff will necessarily make an advanco to the consumer. As far as the regular drinkers of extra drv are con cerned it will make no difference. A man that lives high and has champagne with his meals can afford it. and he will pay $10 a qnart, if necessary, to get it. A few drinks may be ad vanced at our bar, bnt the increase will not amount to much. As there will be no change in the price of domestic goods, some people mat patronize home Industry in preference to foreign-made articles. At the Seventh Avenne it was also stated the prices would be advanced slightly when the present stocks are exhausted, but only on the goods advanced in the tariff schedule. CIGARS TO COST MONEY. IMPORTERS HAVE LOOKED IN AT CUBA TO SOME PURPOSE, Bnt Domestic Mnnnfnclure Will Profit by It Supnr Will Remain at Current Bate UntI ifac First of Next April. Quincy Robinson, of the Fifth avenue cigar store, returned from New York yester day, where he had rone to purchase im ported cigar for his trade As to the effects of the McKinley bill Mr. Kobisou said: "I went East with the intention of buy ing all the cigars I could, but I found it was impossible to secure any, as everybody is laying in a supply and the importers are almost out of stock. The increased price goes into effect on next Monday and then cigars that are now sold at wholesale for 594 per 1,000 will cost $112 to Silo. This will ad vance the retail price on Henry Clay's from two for a quarter to 15 cents straight, and the lament guods will go for 20 cents. There has been a good deal of speculation gn inc on over the result of the tariff bill which will slightly effect the cigar bust ncs. Men had gone to Cnba and purchased all the tobacco possible, and had it rushed into cigars by indifferent workmen, so that they now have in New York a lot of Inferior im ported cigars that will go on the market at a Ence that will not be as high as the fine goods, ut will make the speculators lots of money." Heymer Brothers, the Wood street Importers, find things In abont the same shape as did Mr. Kouison in JNew 1 ort. Mr. neymer saia: "We buy the Henry Clay chrars in Havana at 50 per thousand. Under the old bill wo paid $12 50 per thousand and 2 50 per pound import dnty, thus making about S5 per thou sand, exclusive of freighr. consul and Custom House Tees. Tlio new bill adds $2 per pound, or an advance of from 815 to $25 per thousand. We have been wholesaling the goods at 95 a thousand, anil this Increased tariff will raise the price to 112 to 115 per thousand. We can not tell just what the advance will be all around, as the Sumatra wrapper has an in crease of $4 50 per pound, and we don't know just how it will effect the prices. We have a consignment of clears on the road, and are hop inc that they mav get into the Custom Honse before the law goes into effect. Another ship ment we have ordered I know will be too late, and we will have to pay the advanced tariff." Mr. H. P. Dllworth & Co., merchandise brokers, drew attention to a notice yesterday form Clans Spreckles that the new sugar tariff will not go into effect until April I, 1891, six months hence. There is a very general im pression among the public that it is operative on the 8th ins t. Some people think It just possible that the reduction may not accrue to the benefit of the consumer, bnt to the dealer, and they argue that in justice, the dealer is entitled to the benefit to be derived from the reduction of the duty, as for 20 years at least, he has handled sweet for nothing. Many dealers are happy if they can get out wnoie on sugar, as tne small fraction of a cent supposed profit is evaporated wuue tne stun is on nis nanus, itcianers whose sales are large enough to enable them to buy at jobbing rates can make a small profit, but small dealers are fortunate if they save their bacon. According to Messrs. Dilworth's advices the status quo ante will be maintained, more or less, for the next six months. A SUIT FOB $10,000 DAMAGES To be Filed To-Day Against Alexander Bradley and Booth & Fllnti. The papers in a suit for damages will be filed this morning iu the Prothonotary's office by Alex. M. Watson, Arcb IL Rowand and J. D. Watson, as Attorneys for George Little, who is the plaintiff in the complaint. The defendants named in the statement are Alexander Brad ley, the wealthy iron master and financier, and Booth & Flinn. the contractors, already too well known to fame to need further particular ity of identification. The amount sued for is 310,000. It seems that Mr. Little, who is a pri vate watchman out Center avenue, while walk ing along the sidewalk of that thoroughfare on the evening of September 2 last suddenly stum bled and fell into the open trench that bad been dug some time during the day across the sidewalk for the purpose or laying some gas or water pine into a row of Mr. Bradley's houses. Mr. Little was badly hurt, sustaining injuries to bis left leg and shoulder that are feared will disable blm, more or less, for life. He further claims that the contract ors named above, who had the work in hand, failed either to cover the dangerous trench with boards, or to have a lantern displayed to warn passengers of the excavation. In addi tion to that, be states that neither Mr. Bradley nor the contracting firm had complied with the city ordinance requiring persons to first take out permits to ooen streets and sidewalks for the purpose of making gas or water connec tions with the street mains. HIS H0N0E WENT TO BED EASLT. Mayor Gonrley I Very Tired or the Poor Fnrm Complication. Mayor Gourley had a conference yesterday with Controller Morrow and W. W. Thomson. Esq., attorney for Mr. Staub, the man who is fighting the Poor Farm sale. His Honor, in viaw of the fact that the city will be a heavy loser in interest on the purchase money mort gage, by the delay in consummating the deed occasioned by the appeal to the Supreme Court, wanted the appellant's bond for tbe nominal sum of 500 increased to 50,000. The interview was long and apparently unsatisfac tory to tbe Mavor, and he went home shortly after, and at 6.30 p. M. was in bed. Inquiry at his residence elicited the information that tbe Mayor was not sick, but was not well enough to talk about the Poor Farm. There was some talk in City Hall yesterdav about the probability of a mandamus being asked for to compel the Mayor to sign the deed, but sneb action is improbable, and it is very doubtful it the courts would consider the application.

Sensitive Peoplo Feel HurtOver It, and Denounce the Publication of the , Book as an Outrage. HOTEL TISIT0BS CAUGHT ON THE FIT. The Hoitelries Overrun With the Bash ef Stnagen Into Town List Night There are two sides to every question, and there is naturally another side to the re ports sent out from Johnstown in regard to the book published and sold in the Cone maugh Valley, containing the names and amounts given each flood sufferer by.the Board of Inquiry. Bobert Murphy, the well-known Johnstown attorney, says "the other side" has not been given, and while he has no personal interest in the matter, he made a statement yesterday for the benefit of those whose feelings have been hurt by the publication of the book. He says the reports of its sale have been greatly over drawn, and instead of 5,000 copies being sold on "the go," les than half that number was disposed of. Mr. Murohy was at the Monongahela House yesterday, accompanied by his 'wife, and was found in company with his brother Edward, who is in the coal business in this city. In speaking of the publication of the book, Mr. Murphy said: "The stories sent ont by a certain correspondent in Johns town have been greatly exaggerated, and instead of doing any good, they have caused the outside world, who gave freely to the relief fund, to think that the gentlemen composing the Board of Inquiry and those who received a greater amount than others, are robbers and thieves. JIASr WHO FEETj HUET. "It would have been better if the names had not been published, for the reason that there were a great many sensitive people left penniless by tbe flood, and they do not care to have a monument in the shape of a book, bear witness to the fact and 'keep it constantly before tne eyes of the world, that they accepted the people's charity. There was, not such a great demand for the book, either. I do not think that 2,500 copies were disposed of. The peoplo of Johnstown haven't a great amount of money to dispose of for books, and yon know that one copy will travel a great way if the people want to read it. "I know one man whodidn't get a cent from the Board of Inquiry or any person, who offered to buy up the whole edition ot the book before it was scattered'broadcastto tbe world. This is an indication of the feeling of repugnance the thinking class had against the publication. No one for an in stant would entertain a thought of there being no mistakes made by the board. At such a time and such a place it was a physi cal Impossibility to prevent some people from getting more money than they were entitled to under the schedule, and it was only natural for the board to err. THE PBEOAtniOKS TAKEK. "The gentleman used every possible means at their command to ascertain how much money each applicant should get, 'and If somebody got more than another person, it was not tbe fault of tbe board. I am' satisfied they did tbeir duty, and those who would not apply for a cent thought the same thing. ? "I do not think there was any collusion between the Board of Inquiry and the Belief Commission. There seems to have been some friction between the two bodies, and nobody can find out what relation thev bore each other. Mr. Scott says the members of the board were agents of the commission, and violated the trnst they held by giving out the data for tbe book. He says tbe information in tneir possession shonld have been treated as confidential, and it was unjust to those who had been paid different amounts to publish their names. "Taking it altogether, while a number of people got more than others, there is no feeling of Indignation, such as a certain correspondent has tried to make the world believe." SATED BY A BTJBBEB BAND. A Property Holder Who Tried to Escape on a Technicality. "Yes," said a city official yesterday, "a simple rubber band once saved tbe city of Pittsburg $387. It was some years ago, just after the Board of Viewers had been made a permanent institution. The law provided that all ordi. nances ror street improvements shonld be re ferred to this board, and by it returned to Councils with the board's report attached to it. We bad j ust paved a down-town alley, and one property holder was assessed SS67, He did not deny tbe justice of the assessment, bnt slmnlv declared that be would not pay it if he could get out or it. The case was tiled before Judge Ewing, and it was soon aoparent that the plaintiffs cause was based- simply upon tbe technicality that the viewers' report was not attached to the ordinance. I was a witness and testified that the report and tbe ordinance were returned to Councils folded within each other, and a rubber band around both. That will do,' said Judce Ewing. that little rubber band just saves the city. The plaintiff is non-suited.' "You may rest assured that after that the viewers' report and the ordinance were firmly riveted together. We took no more chances on rubber bands." A EOUTHSIDE COHBINATIOrT To Prevent Farther Park Purchases Unt'l Titer Get Free Bridges. Sonthslde conncilmen arevtalklng of holding a meeting to organize- a solid opposition to the purchase of the Schenley Park entranco until tbe Sonthslde is given free bridges and other needed improvements. Councilman Kirk O. Bingham says: "Heretofore Sonthslde conn cilmen have not stnek together. If they had we should have had free bridges long ago. Our peoplo think other parts of tbe city are getting more than their sharp, and I know some of our councilmen are sorry they 'ever accepted Mr. Carnegie's offer. It not oplv increases 'city taxes $10,000 a year to maintain it, buf they are trying to place it out at Schenley Park, where none but East End residents cap get at it. The Sonthsiders think tbe library should be located down town, where it would be bandy f br every body." A Drominent city official says tba opposition does not amount to anything, as the Sonthslde has but 13 members in Select and 14 in Common Conncil, and are not united. He farther said that the Sonthslde receives annually m public improvements more than It pays in taxes. HAPPY DUBOTG THE'LAY.' A Chicago Man Who la Lost In Plltlburg After 6 O'clock P. M. A young business man from Chicago who re cently located here had this to say about Pitts burg yesterday: "How Hike this city during the business hours, bnt after 6 o'clock In the evening it Is torture. Tbe people work hard all day, and retire to their homes s soon as it gets dark. I am a social brnte, and like sociability: Tbe places of legitimate amusement at a small cost are lacking, and this state of affairs should be changed. i , , "Chicago and Pittsburg have many things In common. I believe I prefer Pittsburg during business hoars, but give me tbe Windy City in the evening." DHOTI KEEP TAEFY THESE, Bnt There Wits a Tooth Present Who Conld DIcet the Demand. t . A youth ot this city, of a tenderness.- desir able only in asparagus, was given- rather a severe lesson, yesterday afternoon. He had been leaning over the connter in a popular eat ing establishment, annoying the young lady in charge, for some minutes, by absurd compli ments and remarks "that, to his narrowed vision, passed as wit, when in rpshed an urchin with the query: "Do you keep taffy kereT" "No, we don't," replied the distustcdmaideD, "but this young mart can supply you with an unlimited quantity." HE CAME WITH DAD. Country Cousins Who Take Their Tlmo to See tho SIffliM. "It takes our country cousins some time to see the elephant," said Detective Shore last evening. "I was at the Union depot to-day looking for a runaway boy with a light suit, straw bat and dark blue eyes, and ran against one who answered the description. I began talking to him, and he said he had come to town with 'dad,' so I knew ho wasn't the boy I wanted, unless 'dad' had also run away. The boy said they bad cpme to town to visit the Ex position, but 'dad' was busy all the afternoon, and they had deferred tbeir visit until to-morrow. They wanted to spend the whole day at the show." "You would bo surprised." continued the detective, "to see the number of persons who take advantage ot the reduced railroad rates during the Exoositlon to come to Pittsburg on business, and a large amount of money must pe brought to the city in this way. I stood near the ticket taker at the gate. In about an hour last evening at least 30 persons presented ex cursion tickets to which the exposition coupon was still attached, showing they bad not visited the big show." . . C0IS WEBS AT A PBEHTUlt. Every Hotel In tbe City Packed From Base ment to Altlc Hundreds of strangers swarmed into the city last night, and as a result every hotel was packed from basement to attic At the Mo noneabela, Seventh Avenue andAnderson peo ple were turned away, it being impossible at tbe Seventh Avenne to accommodate somo of them, even with cots. All the depots were also prettv well crowded last night with people golnc to and from their homes and the city. The Exposition and the races were responsible for the large influx ot visitors. EXPECTED TO SEE SAUSAGE MADE. An Altercntlon on a Train That Did Not Result Falnllr. There was a lively set-to on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Hallway Wednesday evening at Montom Junction between a conductor and a passenger, Walter Stewart. The latter had forgotten to get off until alter the train started, and pulled tbe bell rope as a veto on further progress pro tempore. The passenger had a little boy with him, and as he and the boy and the conductor were all jumbled up between two trains, people held their breath in horror for a time, expecting to see some sausage made. THE MELODRAMATIC BARONET. Something Abont the Personnel of the Hero ofllie London Pol co Conns Ills Ameri can Trip. Tbe Sir Thomas Freake, whose adventures in hand-cuffing and outwitting a rival is tbe affections of a fair one to whom Freake was paying court, were reported in the special cablegrams to The Dis patch yesterday, appears to be pretty well known in this country. Several Pitts burgers said yesterday that they remembered Freake with his son and two companions visit ing the city in the fall of 1SSS. He came over on the steamer Servia for a trip through the United States. He is a man of about SO, to judge from bis looks, and rather heavy in his bearing, not at all ostentatious, and the least person In tbe world who wonld be looked upon to appear in such an affair as reported. One who was a passenger on the vessel with Freake, tells an amusing story of the subserviency of some Engflshmen tn titles. It was proposed to have, as usual, an enter tainment for tbe benefit of English sailors' home. By way of parenthesis it may be stated tbat while Americans are tbe chief contrib utors, it is always tbe Euglish and not tbe American sailors who are recognized in these beneficiary affairs. Judge Coolev, tbe famous constitutional lawyer of Michigan was aboard. Some of the committee getting up tbe concert suggested Judge Cooley as President, but a couple of English commercial travelers, who were on the committee, regarded this as some thing "altogether out of place, yon know." The reason they gave was that Sir Thomas Freake. being a member of the nobility, shonld have precedence. Freake and his party had been keeping quite visibly to themselves. They had never spoken to any of the Amer icans or even to tbe English plebeians on board, so it did not seem why they should have any precedence over so amiable a man as Judge Cooley, who was affable to everybody. Bnt the countrymen or Sir Thomas, who were on the committee, carried their point, and invited him to preside.' That. was the only time they bad a chance to speak to him. With grS'at .gcrofl sense be declined, telling them that he could not speak ten words ana would be entirely out of place on tbe occasion. The Freakes, father and son and two companions, who were rather rough looking, but stalwart fellows, stayed a few days in New York, then came through Pittsburg to the Wet. They looked more like farmers going to settle on a ranch than fops or heroes of such a melodrama as Is reported from London. DEATH OF MBS. V0EGTLY. A Weil-Known Aged Alleeneny Lady Passes Qnletlr Awni. Shortly after 8 o'clock last evening Mrs. Elizabeth Voegtly, nee Stelner, widow of the late Mathlas Voegtly.wbo died in 1884 and aunt of N. H. Voegtly. ex-member of tho Legisla ture, died at tbe family residence foot ot Troy Hill road. She was a remarkable woman and is the last ot the original Voegtly family that settled In Allegheny City. She came to this country from Switzerland In 1831 and married Mathlas Voegtly August 9, 1832. They bad no children. On tho 9th ot August, 1SS2, they celebrated their golden wedding. Since her husband's death Mrs. Voegtly has almost always kept her bed. She was stout and resolute and despite many physical ail ments she bore up under pain bravely until death relieved her at tbe age ot 86 years. She was a member of tbe First German Evan gelical Church of Allegheny, known as Voegt ly's Church. COST OF M0BE ELECTBICITY. Allegheny Gn Committee Considering the Extension of the Light Hunt.

An Electrical Air Line Prom Xetr Tork to Liverpool Promised. VOLCANIC EB0FT10NS IN PITTSBURG Prof. C. A. Johnson, "the well-known professional astronomical lecturer, editor and proprietor of the British Lion, pub lished at Hamilton, Ont.," amused an audi ence of eight at the colored Methodist Epis copal Church, at the corner of Fulton and Clark streets, last evening, to say nothing of theinstruction he gave his auditors. The lecturer made some most surprising state ments, which, coming from any other source, would immediately be branded as false, but as the professor's reputation is so great and his fame world-wide, the fulfill ment of his predictions only need be looked forward to. The professor may be slightly off on dates, but if he doesn't know what he is talking about no one else does. His very slim audi ence can easily be explained. Tbe profes sor's hundreds of friends donbtless looked upon the subject of "Thunder in its Se cret Places" as a very dangerous one to handle during such weather, fearful that tbe thunder might leave its "secret biding place" and sweep down upon the little church and exterminate those who had the temerity to question its right to a "secret hiding place," or, at any rate, to give it away. Their fears were unfounded, how ever, or perhaps the crowd was too small for thunder to condescend to tackle. WHAT IT BRISTLED 'WITH. Notwithstanding the extremely small audience, Prof. Johnson gavp his lecture, and it bristled with good points and eulogies of his own great mind. "Some people may think it is lightning, and not thunder, that kills," said the lee turer, "Franklin and Herschel advanced this idea, but they are not my equals. I am superior in Intellect to either of them. I have demonstrated beyond a doubt tbat it is the thunder that does the damage. Scientists say lightning causes tbe injuries, but 1 come to the rescue, and prove that it Is thunder tbat the people want to keep away from. A man is often killed when there is no lightning. When in war a cannon is discharged, is it the flash or tbe noise tbat klllsT ' Why, any one knows that it is neither, but tho ball. So in a thunder storm, neither the noise nor the flash hurts anyone, it is the thunder-bolt. You have read of the church that was set on fire and several people killed. No noise was beard; no flash was seen, but a ball of fire as large as the moon was seen to pass over the town. "Why, my Iriends," continued Prof. Johnson, "It Is acknowledged by all that It is dangerons to whistle, or run or ride fast during an elec trical storm. Even one must not walk against tbe storm, or he is In danger. This question oi lightning is a vexed one, and I could expect no one but myself to unravel it. I have made my self famous by my discoveries in this line, and other great scientists are dan to grovel at my feet and learn from what I have to say. JTOT OF THE OLD SCHOOL "At my home, in Hamilton, I have an Im mense telescope which I brought from England, at a cost of 1,500, that I might study the heavenly bodies from my astronomical observ atory. I am not a man of the old astronomical school. My ideas are advanced. It is my mission to upset the old theories, and establish a new set of ideas. "I cannot see why the sun wonld not be con sumed in 20 years, if it were not for tbe fiery meteors that fall into it from time to time. That is a grand idea, to be sure! It is not my Intention to frighten you. I merely want to give you some surprising statements. I can give you more ideas in IS minutes than any man can in an hour. Why. sir, 15 months hence, these grand bills surrounding your beautiful city will be convulsed in a terrible explosion. It can't be avoided! An immense Volcano will appear in an instant, and there will be an opening a quarter of a mile long, from which fire and smoke will issue, and which will occasion a terrible loss ot life aud damage to property. I am here to warn you, and to tell you tbe signs to watch for. Fierce looking comets will sweep across tbe sky, and hundreds of shooting stars will be seen. Rivers "will overflow and men will become sick and giddy. "Within the next six months the photo grapher can sit in Allegheny and take the pic ture of a man in this church. This will be done by the wonderful electricity. Why, gen tlemen, six months from now an electrical air line will connect New Vork and Liverpool, and tbe distance can be traveled in just 8 hours, 13 minutes and four seconds. Wonderful I To yon it may bo surprising, but to one of my mind it can easily be seen through. ALLOWED A PEEDICTTOH-. "Allow me to make another prediction, my good frionds," said the professor, and as no one was ablo to deny blm tbat privilege, he went on. "Five years from uow the gastric juices will potrude through the human being, and as man can live always on nothing but air, iu the morning a man can get up, and, walking out in the bright sunshine, take a good whiff of air and be satisfied all day. "Now, my friends, I bave given you a sur prising lecture; a truly wonderful lecture! And in closing, I want to thank ail the subscribers of the Jlntish Lion who were kept away by tbe inclement weather. The president of the evening, the Rev. Mr. Watson, was called npon to make a few re marks in closing, and, in the course of his talk, said, regarding tho statement of the Professor about living on air: "That all sounds very wel 1, but for me, I much prefer a larce, juicy steak."

ONE LOCAL LESS. THE PAINTERS WITHDRAW FROM THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR And Go Into the American Federation of Labor Brlcklitjen Will Next Receive Attention From the Baildlng Trades and Then the Snlesmen. Local Assembly 1397, of the Knights of Labor, in District 3, no longer exists. Its members surrendered their charter last night, turned in tbeir books and some $1,000 into the head office, shook the dutt from oQ their feet, and were at once received within the fold, of the American Federation of Labor ns a Local Union of -the Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators. Sic transit gloria of the Knights or labor. Tbe assembly numbered sixty odd men, in cluding among them some of tbe best known and best trained journeymen in the district, and parent, as it was, tn tbe present locals of tbe Brotberhood.it bad to succumb to tbe strength and influence of its own offspring. It was tbe oldest in the district, being founded in 1879, and had the enviable record of brimnng up the wages of its members from JI 50 to $3 50 without ever losing a strike. And thus the curtain falls on the drama of the "Rival Painters." from all accounts the cnrtaln will rise agiln on a different play in wbich the Building Trades Conncil and tbe Bricklayers' Inter national Union will undertake the leading roles. The federated building trades have, in short, determined flashed by its victory over the Knights, donbtless that all the trades In any way connected with tbe erection of build ings, shall come within tbe federation. The bricklayers are in tbe double position ot being tbe only trade not in tno Federation, and as well being prevented by their constitution from doing so. The bricklayers bave a small matter of $30,000 behind them, and will not throw any difficulty in the way ot the Council's firing the first gnu. TheBuildlneTradeV Conncil areal so credited with declaring that the salesmen in the large store", who are now organized In tho Knights, shall pack up and get as tbe painters did. It is not claimed tbat salesmen hae anv connec tion with the building trades, excepting that, by a stretch of tbe imagination, they can bo regarded is such by working inside a building.

Samuel Gomncrs, President of the American Federation of Labor, will arrive on Saturday morning and wdl make the presentation. P. J. McGuire will be present if possible, and Secre tary Chris.

Lumber Merchant Gardner Falls a Victim to Train Kobbers, Who HOLD HIM UP IN ALLEGHENY CITY. A Hot Fursntt After 'the Thief, Who Escapes Under the Cars. TIIE STEUGGLU ON TUE KAE PLATF0EAI J. K. Gardner, of the lumber firm of Hall, Gardner & Co, of Eidgeway, was the victim of an exciting train robbery in Al legheny last evening, aud his pocketbook, containing over $10,000 in casb. checks and notes ,is now among the has-beens. Mr. Gardner had been down to East Liv erpool on business, nnd the Cleveland and Pittsburg train, due in Allegheny at 8 JO p. M., on which he returned, was crowded with people who had been attending the Teemer Hanlan boat race. As tbe train neared Washington avenue itelackenednp, a num ber of persons jumped from their seats, and several shouted "Allegheny." Mr. Gard ner being unable to locate the train in dark ness naturally supnosed that it was running into the depot, and also got up and walked into the aisle, pre paratory to disembarking. At this mo ment a rnsh was made and Mr. Gardner felt a hand pass over bis bosom.. The gen tleman had traveled before, and at once felt for his pocketbook, which he expected to find in the inside pocket of his vest; but it wasn't there. Mr. Gardner looked in his seat, thinking the book might have dropped out of bis pocket. Not finding it he at once started ror the man he suspected ot robbing him. Tbe latter, however, had reached the rear nlatform, and there Mr. Gardner seized him by the slmulder. "What do you want with meT" asked tbe thief. "1 want you, and I want my pocketbook," replied Sir. Gardner. The thief at once broke away, jumped to the track, although the train was still running prettv fast, and Mr. Gardner followed him. Tbe thief started on 'a run back along the tracks and had gone abont 20 yards when the train stopped. Tbe thief then dived under neath the car and escaped. Mr. Gardner got aboard of the train, rode Into Allegheny and at once notified the police of the two cities of the loss he had sustained. Both detective forces were put to work on the case and expect to get tho thief verv shortly. Air. Gardners pocketbook contained J1W In cash, the balance of the 810,000 being made up by checks, notes and a draft for $1,000 from tbe Second National Bank of Pittsburg npon a New York bank. Among the checks were two drawn by W. L. Smith dc Co. in favor of Hall. Gardner & Co. npon tbe Potter Bank, ot East Liveipool. for $130 and $1,000 respectively: a check for $1,000 drawn on tbe same bank by S. C. Williams & Co.. and a number of nutes from these and other firms ranging from 5110 to $300. The firm of Hall, Gardner & Co. Is composed ot tho victim of the robberv, W. Jf. Hyne and the Interest of tbe John G. Hall estate. Tho lumber forest of the firm is in Elk county, 15 miles from Ridgeway. The firm does a large business, especially in tbe neighborhood of Pittsburg. A TIMELY IMPE0VEMEKT. ThuMnch-Abiued UrowniTllIo Rond Being Paved With Ugonler Block. The Brownsville Road Company is now mak ing an improvement tbat will be tho source of much satisfaction among Sonthsiders. The road between the tracks of the electric road is being paved with fire brick and Ligonier block. Tbe work has already been completed from Mr, Oliver to South View Place, and material Is on the ground for tbe remainder or the road. Tbe Improvement will cost about $10,000. Tbe liverymen on the Sonthslde are greatly pleased with the movement on the part of tho company. Last winter the road was in such a condition tbat scarcely a funeral got np tbe bill without getting stuck in the mud. There has 'been a great deal of complaint recently against the company, the most of which seems to have been unwarranted, inasmuch as the improvement has been in progress for several weeks.
