CAMERON AID QUAY
To Meet in Pittsburg To-Day and
Confer About the Present Po
litical Situation.
QUIET WORK DOSE BY C. L MAGEE
Puts Him in a Position Where He 'Will
HaTe a Strong Following in the
Ucxt Lesislature.
CASIEKOK EEADY TO DEAL WITH HIM.
Ex-Steriff Gtfy Declines md Ctjtain Crtjs i Hcmhuted
for Congress.
Senator J. D. Cameron arrived in the
city last evening, as announced, and regis
tered at the Duquesne. lie was met at the
depot by Chief Brown and Collector "Warm
castle. .Anions his other callers during the
evening were C. L. Magee, County Chair
man Porter and Samuel JF. Barr, of
Maine, his father's old private secretary.
Mr. Cameron was willing to talk socially,
but wished it to be distinctly understood
that he was not to be interviewed, and under
no circumstances would he consent to speak
for publication. Under these circum-rtanc-s
the reporter had no iurther use for
the Senator, and some quiet investigations
on the outside were made
CAMERON ASD HIS FEXCES.
Senator Cameron wants to succeed him
self. Be makes no secret of the fact that he
is here to fix up his fences in this part of
the State. Itecently he put into the cam
paign $100,000, it has been fiequently pub
lished, but w hen he discovered that he was
being traded rig In and left for Delarnater,
he put Cooper in command of his funds at
headquarters.
Senator Cameron has made another dis
covery within the past week, and that is
that Mr. C. L. Magee has not been asleep.
"While Quay was at Washington Mr. Magec
wns at worl. in "Western Pennsylvania
putting in the field candidates for the Leg
islature friendly to himself. Andrews and
Delarnater were so interested in themselves
and their own fights that thev didn't find
out until it was too late what Mr. Magee
was iing. If the next Legislature is lle
tmblican Mr. Magee will have considerable
influence with it. He will have at least a
solid representation from Western Pennsyl
vania, while the Eastern members will be
divided between Quay and Cameron. The
upshot will be that Mr. Magee will have
the -ngest lollowing.
THE TWO SENATORS TO CONFER.
Senator Cameron now realizes that Mr.
Magee is a factor in his future success, so he
held a Ions conference with him last even
in c. Senator Quay will be in the city
to-day, aim Senator Cameron will meet him
at tbe Seventh Avenue Hotel.
II is stated that the only condition on
which Mr. Magee will support Cameron is
that the latter will dump the other Senator.
It is true lie started in the campaign in
trmpathv with the junior Senator, but as
tht situation has changed mightily, those
who are best posted claim that he will deal
with Mr. Magee as his only hope. If this
be so, then Mr. Cameron's friends in the
Legislature will stand by tbe Pittsburg
leader, and this will increase Mr. Macee's
strength in the State. Some very interest
ing developments can be expected between
now and the election day.
Senator Quay, while here to-day, will
meet tns County Chairmen in the western
part of the State, whom he has called in.
They wiil receive their instructions concern
ing the conduct o: the fight, and beside be
ins: handed cimpaigu documents lor dis
tribution, will get something more substan
tial as well.
KEEPING UP THE EXCITEMENT.
Independent Republican 3Iast Meetings
Being Arranged for This Week.
Chairman Ayres, of the Independent Repub
lican Committee on Meetings and Speakers
has arranged for a number of meetings of Re
publicans who are for Pattison, to be held this
weeK. On Thursday evening a meeting will be
held in the Eleventh ward schoolhouse; in tbe
Hancock fchoolhouse a meeting fur the Kiftb.
Seventh and Eighth wards will be held; also
revcral other meetings, for which places have
not been definitely secured. On Friday night
the Independent Republicans of tlie Thirteenth
ward will meet at the Thirty-third street
schoolhouse, and on Saturday night meetings
will be held at Morns Hull, Hazeliood: at the
old freight depot at hharpsburg: at tbe Oak
land fcuool. Fourteenth ward. Pittsburg, and
probably at Wilkmsburg and other points in
the county.
The speakers will include Thomas M. Mar
shall, ox-Senator Emery. W. S. Pier, Colonel
John I). Wallace. James JJalpb. John D. Mat
ton. Thomas Patterson and Thomas Grundy.
Among the callers at headquarters yesterday
was Councilman O. G. Jones, of McKee-port.
He says there is no doubt about what McKees
piiit will do and predicts that his ward, the
Third, inch has a Republican majority of 207,
will give Pattison a majority.
Coins Lovelj, of Latrobe, who went into
Iiynder's htate convention and then tola how
Chairman Andrews furnished money to run it,
wa another caller. He says Pattison will have
a big majority in Westmoreland, and that
Ryuder will get only one vote in the whole
count.
WALLACE IS W0EKDTG.
He Says tho Kcpnblicans Realize Tliey Are
on tho Defensive.
Ex-Scnaior William A Wallace was a pas
senger on tho limited last evening, bound for
Chicago on a business trip. Ho has recovered
from bis resent illness and when he comesback
from the Windy City will do some good work
for Pattison. In speaking of the situation Mr.
Wallace said: "I am not as well posted as I
would like to be, but I don't think the Demo
crats ever had a better chance to win in the
State than they have now. Tho conditions are
very peculiar, but what amuses me is that
the Republican leaders did not size up tho
situation long before they did. They are jnst
beginning to icaiize that they are on the
deifiisive. and, as a result of the change in their
tactics, I notice that they are more hopefnl this
week. The slump from the Republican partv
n larger than they imagine, but Pattison's suc
cess depends on two things: to get tbe full
Democratic votpoutatthc polls, and that tbe
Rcnublican disaffection is big enough to over
come the normal majority. If the Democrats
are properly organized all over the State. I
don'i ee why they should not be successful.
"Philadelphia fs a f uuny city. The Democrats
there will vote without any organization, pro
vided they think they have half a chance. I
cannot sax et how the right in Randall's dis
trict wiil affect the Democratic vote."
HOPES FOE M-KINLEY.
General Hastings Thinks the Major Will be
Elected.
General D. H. Hastings came over from Mc
Ktnlcy's distuct yesterday, where he had been
speaking some good words for the Major, and
registered at the Duquesne. He left for Kit
tanning in the afternoonto resume his work on
the stump for Delarnater and will continue un
til the campaign closes.
Speaking of McKicley's chances he said: "I
really believe the Major will be elected. The
Republican-, will vote tor him. and there are a
great many Democrats, who thongn thev differ
Horn him. yet take pride in him as their'Repre
scntativc. There are others who think it
wan't f.iir to fix his district against him, and
thee influences aie helping McKlnlev-
"As ior Pennsylvania. Delarnater will be
elected with a good majority. The prospects
look better every day. 1 have been over a con
siderable portion of the State, ana I think I
know the feeling "
KAHTIN Off DECK AGAIK.
Ho Claims Delarnater Will Get a Majority of
0,000 In Lancaster.
E. X. JIvtin, of Lancaster, whose frequent
and mvsterions visits to Pittsburg have become
tho subjee; of comment, was here again yester
day. Ho declines to state his business, bnt
those who know s7 his missions are political.
He went over to Beaver yesterday afternoon to
sea Senator Quay.
Mr. Martin Bays there Is no trouble anywhere
in the State, and that Lancaster county will
give Delarnater a majority of 9,000. He claims
tho ii. dependent movement is much ex
aggerated. CREPS IS THE MAN.
Ex-Sheriff John Guffy, of Greensburg, Kom
inated. Hut He Declined the Honor
Democrats Hope to Knock Ont Colonel
Huff-The Farmers in line.
The Democratic conferees in the Twenty
first Congressional district, composed of
Westmoreland, Jefferson, Indiana and Arm
strong counties, met at the Seventh Avenue
Hotel yestcrdayand unanimously nominated
Sheriff John Guffy, of Greensburg, for Con
gress on the first ballot The other candidates
were Captain Jacob Creps, Indiana: Ed
ward J. Graff, of Blalrsville. and Mr. Wilson,
of Jefferson connty. Mr. Guffy declined the
nomination, and Captain Creps was then
selected. He is the regulaily nominated
candidate, as well ot the labor clement and
Farmers' Alliance in tbe district, which makes
him a very strong man topntin tbencld.
Mr. Guffy's family objected to his once more
entering into active politic8, and this is one
reason why he declined to run. In his speech
declining the nomination he gives another con
sideration which influenced him, as follows:
"I thank jou sincerely. In my judgment it is
not by anv means an uncertain mark of honor
and regard to be selected the Democratic can
didate for Congress in the Twenty.flrst dis
trict. I, like each of the other can
didates piesented for yonr consider
ation, am a Democrat, who considers
his party second only to his God. 1 secured
the nomination from thehandsof my West
moreland constituency after a vigorous cam
paign. It i gratlf ymg to realize that our party
is harmoniously at -rork for success, save pos
sibly a few of ihe prominent business and pro
fessional ones in Westmoreland county who
are associated in business with Colonel
Huff, who recently received the nom
ination as a Republican candidate.
These men are not without money, and I have
no hesitancy in saying they would use their
means to encompass my defeat. To go as far
as I can to secure tbe support of these men for
the whole Democratic ticket, 1 una it ray amy
to decline with renewed thanks tbe favor you
have so generously conferred on me. I assure
you that I will wore as industriously for the
success ol the candidate you may name as J
would for my own election."
J. M. Guffy, who took an active interest in
the canvass, said after the meeting: "I really
think my brother could have been elected in
the di-trict, bnt politics Is a slavish business
and his family didn't want him to run.
Resides. there are a few promi
nent Democrats in Westmoreland county,
who. under the cloak or personal
grievances against the Sheriff, would turn in
and work for Colonel Huff. Now. haying a
candidate against whom they had nothing per
sonal, I want to see If they will
help to elect lutu. I would have
none of my friends do anything that
would interfere with Pattison's success.
I feel sure he will be elected Governor, and
with a rood fight I think Colonel Creps can
win in this district. This is the inside, in a nut
shell. There must be no Internecine fights, and
Pattison will be the next Governor."
Captain Creps is a farmer, and one of tbe
leading members of the Farmers' Alliance.
The conferees claim that he will receive the
solid support of the grangers, and that he will
be a very hard man to defeat.
The conferees of Jefferson county were R.
A. Somiiieryille, W. S. Smatbers and J. K.
Brown; Indiana county. Dr. J. 11. Carson. S. C.
Thompson and W. H. Porter; Armstrong
county, Austin Clark. J. S. Smith and W. E.
Noble; Westmoreland, O. P. Sbupe, James
White and Charles Harvey.
HOW HE FIGUHES.

jority Will lie Light.
Governor Beaver was in the city for a short
time last evening. Ho came from Wheeling,
where he had been attendinga meeting of the
Presbyterian Church, He has been out of the
State for a week, but has already made several
speeches for Delarnater. He expects to spend
a week in Ohio stumping the Slate for the Re
publican Committee. McKinley asked him to
conio and say a word In his district, but he had
made his promise to the committee first, and
will go where they send him.
Tho Governor thinks that the situation has
improved in Pennsylvania, and there is no
doubt about the result. He finally admitted
that Delarnater would be elected, but with a
reduced majority.
BTJHOES OF BIG BOODLE
lteing Brought to Pittsliurc; to Moke Sets on
tlie Election.
Stories of large election bets were floating
around the corners last evening, but the gleams
of 3 ellow-backcd gold certificates did not dazzle
by their frequency.
Police Magistrate Leslie said he heard that a
man from Ueaver passed through Lawrence
vllle yesterday with 30,000 in currency with
which to enforce his political sentiments, and
which, (the $50,000, not his entimcnts)he hoped
to double. Mr. Leslie did not say positively
who the Beaver man was for, but intimated
that tbe money was to back Delarnater.
The Beaver man cnnld not be found last even
ing, and he may havo been sandbagged and
robbed at the Forks of the Road.

The Hole in His Arm Was Caused by a Bolt
Piercing It.
Detective Steel, of Allecbeny, was detailed
by Coroner McDowell jesterday to investigate
tbe death of William Shay, who was killed at
Lindsay and McCutcbeon's mill on Sunday.

Gilford, of Boston. "I am on the way," he
said. to stump Bynum's district for him. 1
don't care whether the Democrats will pay my
expenses or not.
"I like the Congressman, because he was tbe
only man who had tbe nerve to stand up
against Reed and call him a liar. Bynum

Big Democratic Meeting at Clarion.
A big Democratic and Republican Pattison
meeting was held at Clarion last night, at which
Colonel John W. Echols, of this city, and a
number of other prominent speakers made
stirring addresses.
THE CIGABS WEBE TOO GOOD.
Alexander Killlan Secured His First Peni
tentiary Sentence by an Accident.
Alexander Killian, who has been convicted
ot the murder of Mrs. Rudort at Tarentnm,was
first arrested in Pittsburg nnder peculiar cir
cumstances. About 15 years ago Detective Sol
Coulson was walking dorn Eighth street about
midnight, when he met Killian and another
man. Killian's coat was bulged out by a bun
dle be was trying to conceal.
"What have you got there?" asked Coulson.
"Oh, we were playing seven-up in a saloon
and we won a few cigais."
"That so? Well, I guess I'll take a smoke on
you," said tbe detective.
Coulson took a cigar, lit it, and after pulling
on it for a minute decided that it was a pretty
good cigar, in fact, too good for a prize in a
seven-up game, and promptly arrested both
men.
The next day Coulson met City Ganger Mar
tin, the now deceased father of tbe Clerk of
Common Council.
"Have a cigar." said Coulson. "You'll find it
a good one." and he handed Mr. Martin one of
the stolen weeds.
Mr, Martin lit tbe cigar, inhaled its fragrance
critically, pondered a moment, and then asked:
"Where did you get tbat cigar?"
"Ob. I took them off a couple of crooks last
night."
"I thought so. That is a special biandtbat I
have brought to this city for myself. My house
was burglarized last night, and tbe only plun
der the thieves secured was a box of those
cigars."
Mr. Martin's evidence secured Killian his
first sentence of four years to tbe penitentiary.

ELOQUENT ADDRESS OF WELCOME
And a Splendid Response by the Bight Key.
Dr. AlcClarren.
THE BROTHERHOOD OP ST. ANDREWS
Beaut:ful and imposing ceremonies,
splendid music, and brilliant, soul-stirring
addresses, characterized the opening meet
ing of the Missionary Council of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, at Trinity,
last night.
The services began with the processional
entrance of the bishops and rectors, headed
by the sumliced choir, marching to the
music of the organ swelling forth the en
chanting notes of "We March to "Victory."
The regular service of the Episcopal Church
followed, and was participated in by the
large audience. The evening's lesson read
was the tenth chapter of Paul's epistle to the
Bomans. Gounod's grand anthem, "Lovely
Appear," was sung as an offertory, the choir
doing full justice to the work of the com
poser and more than pleasing the audience
by the manner of the rendition. Bishop
Whitehead made the address of welcome in
his most happy manner, and during tbe
course of his remarks, said:
"As 1 come forward, my dear brethren, 1 feel
that a universal sentiment needs no expression.
It goes without saying that we have a most cor
dial welcome to extend our guests. Why
should we have made such arrangements and
preparations for their coming?
THE SUN SHINES IN riTTSBUKG.
"Pittsburg bas bung under a cloud, and our
, friends of the East and of the West have
thought until now that tho sun was quite in
visible. But they have found tbat they can see
the length of a block and can discern faces
where they excepted to be compelled to feel
for tbem. I am glad to say that notwithstand
ing tho darkness of to-day, tbe sun .shines
sometimes, and uhen you go away from among
ns we want you to feel that if there is no sun
shine in the sky there is sunshine in our hearts.
Putsburg has a reputation for hospitality.
Heretofore many of onr friends have made
this a place to stou and eat as they were pass
ing through to the East or to the West, But
we want tbem to find this a good place to stop
and to receive our welcome.
"Bear brethren. e are glad to have you
here, lor you may learn from us. We are
prouu ot our city, ot its past history and its
great Industries. Another icason we are glad
ynuarebcie: Because we need yon; weneod
information for study you give our hearts. We
need yon ior our pockets. There Is plenty of
money in Pittsburg if it were spent aright; and
we want you, through our minds and our
hearts, to reach our pockets. We want news
of tlio kingdom of God, so that Pittsburg may
hereafter be known as libera! in carrying the
gospel to tbe uttermost parts of the earth. We
need you to show our other churches and
brethren that this church is full of the mission
ary spirit and bas a great deal to tell of our
work, .nut l can only say as aia one oi oia,
you have done well that j'ou have come."
The Rt, Rev. William E. McClarren, D. D.,
responded for the visiting, bishops.
"It affords me great pleasure," said he. "to
come nut to you who have so warmly received
us. You need not be told that it is character
istic of the once Smoky City to give a hearty
welcome, a welcome in all that the word
signifies.
WHY THEY HAVE COME HERE.
"We are well come, not only to receive your
hospitality, but to wake up our own minds in
tbe work of spreading the gospel. We are
glad to be here, not only to receive your wel
come, but we wish to warm our own hearts in
order that we can increase and intensify tho
zeal of mission work, unless we choose to fall
back. We come here in this community of
warm hearts that we can learn tbe pulsations
of our own hearts in missionary zeal, and, while
accepting your generous welcome. I reel that
this is eminently an age in which the things of
God absorb the attention of men. It is no
longer an age of doubt nor an -age of unbelief.
We have passed the dark hours, and I believe
tbat the twentieth century will witness tilumphs
for the cross not known since the time ol Christ
The signs are for a revived zeal in mission
work corresponding with the revived church
zeal.
"Japan is not a pagan land, but is advanced
in civilization. They are our equals in intelli
gence to-day and are in many was our peers.
All they need to give them their true glory to
day is the sign of the cross in their mid-t. The
nations of the Orient have families equal tbe
average American i amuy. inoy nave Beauti
ful homes and all they want is the full glory of
Jesus Christ tbat Japan may answer back to
the more enlightened countries to-day.
"My friends, I only learned this afternoon
thatl was to answer your splendid address of
welcome. I did not leel equal to the occasion
but finally succumbed to the demands of your
Bishop and tbe telephone and promised a word
in response to your most splendid welcome."
(.- SECUKED A GOOD SUBSTITUTE,
he Rt. Rev. Dr. Langford was the gentle
man who was to have secured Mr. James L.
Houghtelinc, of Chicago, to address the meet
ing. That he failed was no lault of his, but tbe
announcement that tbe young man could not
appear caused great regret on tbe part of tho
audience. However, tho reveiend gentleman
did his best, and succeeded in "recuring a
splendid substitute to fill up tbe gap In the
procramme leit by the absence of Mr. Hough
teling, in the person of Mr. Smead. of Cincin
nati, who is a co-laborer with the other gentle
man. In Introducing Mr. Smead, Dr. Langford
said:
"Ono of the chosen speakers for this evening
was that brilliant young layman from Chicago
known as tbe originator and organizer of the
St. Andrews Brotherhood. For the past few
dajs he has been in Philadelphia attending the
annual meeting of this organization, and bad
hoped to be here and I bad hoped to seo him
here. It was my privilege to be in attendance
at that meeting in Philadelphia. Interesting
were its proceedings, noble in spirit and lofty
tbe enthusiasm. Mr. Hongliteling, to his great
regret, was required to hasten back: to Chicago
and he could not attend this meeting. But I
found one of his co-laborers, Mr. Smead, of
Cincinnati, who bas consented to be with tis
and tell ot that great Brotherhood of St.
Andrews. I am quito sure you will all welcome
Mr. Smead."
Mr. Smead mounted the platform, and it re
quired no great length of time lo prove that ho
was prepared to very ably fill the place ot bis
friend from Chicago. Said he:
"When Dr. Langford camo to me In Pnila
delphia I emphatically declined, as I thought it
reqnlred some one better suited to tell of the
glorious woik of the Brotberbooa of St. An
drews. That brotherhood was organized sev
eral vcars ago in Chicago by 12 young men.
That same year another chapter was organ
ized. In 1SS6 there were 26 chapters and 600
members, and to-day there are 413 chapters and
6,500 mcmbeis.
KULES OF SERVICE AND PRAYER.
"We havo only two rules. Tbey are rules of
service and prayer: To pray dailyfor the spread
of tbe Kingdom of Christ and to strive to bring
young men into our Bible schools. We work
entirely with the Bishops and rectors, and if
onr work is not to their entire satisfaction, one
word will, cause us to suspend the chapter in
that parish.
"Wo bad a most remarkable convention. To
find 5M men of every profession, from Califor
nia to Maine and from the gulf to the la"kes, all.
working together with one aim in view is, I
say. truly wonderful. AH' seeking to find an
answer to the question. Mow can I learn to
makerasplfa better soldier for Christ. We
want nnlv men who will do their own duty, and
we usually put men on probation before they
become members. In a. New York chapter
they had an applicant, and tbey told htm he
must go nut and bring In a man lo tho Bible
school. Tbe next Sunday this new pupil did
not appear, but the applicant for membership
persisted tbat he had promised. Tbe result
was the same on the second Sunday. But tbe
third Sunday tbeyoung man appeared with his
new Bible class scholar, and when .asked how
he got him, replied that be bad, moved down
with him and they then came cogether. Tbls is
the way the Brotherhood of St. Andrews
works.
'1 heard here to-night that Pittsburg has
more money than she can spend aright. When
ever you give alms give yourself. Remember
tbe story of tbe good Samaritan. First give
yourself, then give your money is the lesson of
the Brotherhood of St. Andrews."
The address of the Right Rev. Dr. Abiel
Leonard, Missionary Bishop of Nevada and
Utah, was looked forward to as the feature of
tbe evening, as he is In the midst of the church
mission work. In the course of his address Dr.
Leonard Baid.
GLAD THE COLLECTION WAS MADE.
"I feel vastly relieved that tbe collection
bas been taken up. Your Bishop warned
me that I should not feel badly if. during
my address, people got up and began to
leave.becausetbey will have to catch the trains,
1 told him to have the collection taken np be
fore I began speaking and I feel. "better for It,
Last year we celebrated our first century as a
church in America, and to-night U the first tlni
n the new centnry that we have assembled in
missionary council. I have been studying
statistics. In 1833 only $25,000 was appropriated
for missionary work and !at year oyer $300,OUi)
was raised. From 1SSU to 1890 our communicant
list swelled twelve-fild."Thespeaker continued
his address at some length and made many in
teresting and instructing points, chief among
which was that the candidates for the ministry
does not reach tho number required to fill va
cancies caused by death and old age.

LAOOF CONFIDENCE
Spoiled tho New York Swindlers'
Green Goods and Sawdust Game.
LAMBS WHO PKOYEDTREACHEEOOS
Storj of W. E. Harrison, Who Helped to
Capture the Ennkoists.
HOW IIE WORKED THEM FOR EYIDENCE
It's the same old racket of selling green
goods and delivering sawdnst or some other
equally valuable article.
The special telegram in The Dispatch
of Sunday in regard to the arrest ot the
New York sharpers who were holding ont
inducements for denizens of McKeesport
and other towns to buy green goods, caused
quite an excitement iu tbat suburb of Pitts
burg, and from appearances it would not be
surprising if some of the people there had
not been so slick as their neighbors, and
were really caught by the scheme. At any
rate, some did not seem surprised when the
story came out, and seemed to know more of
the working of the scheme than others.
This is not the first time that the racket
had been tried there, but with what success
no one, of course, will tell. Mr. William
E. Harrison, who materially aided in cap
turing the swindlers, has received circulars
of this character quite a number ol times,
and it was only by accident that he fell
into the idea of pulling the string on the
slick ones. He is Vice President of the
First National Bank, of KcKeesport, aud
also proprietor of a boot aud shoe store.
Mr. A. W. Smith, a carriage manufacturer,
also received a letter on the same day as did
Mr. Harrison, and that added to its little
mite in tbe tricking of the swindlers.
HOW MR. HARRISOK WASN'T CAUGHT.
A Dispatch reporter went to McKees
port yesterday and secured Mr. Harrison's
story ol how he assisted in the capture of the
New Yorkers. It was in September tbat
he received the first letter, and it was signed
by "B. C. Warwick," of 404 West Forty-third
street. New York. This letter offered induce
ments to a man who wanted to make a lortone
out of a small investment, and suggested that
Jl, (2, $5 and 310 bills were about the denomina
tion to catch the McKeesporters. The letter
also contained a clipping from a paper giving
an account of tbe robbery of some United
States Treasury Department plates, and gave
the impression that the money was made from
these plates, and could be handled without
great danger.
Mr. Harrison was told to telegraph for
further information, if be meant business.
He showed this letter to Mr. J. L. Devlnney,
and as the latter was going to New York that
day, be took with him tbe missive and tbe one
received by Mr. Smith, and thus the ball was
started rolling that finally put the bars up be
fore tbe swindlers.
Soon after this Mr. Harrison was requested
to telegraph to tbe address auove mentioned,
and a detective was at the office ready to watch
tbe message go out. But tbe address bad been
changed, and the message was lost track of.
However. "Warwick" soon answered in a let
ter, with a new name and address, telling Mr.
Harrison tbe price of their money, and giving
other information. He closed by conjuring
him to co to New York immediately and close
negotiations, or some other McKeesporter
would get tho gold mine. This letter was also
sent to the New York authorities.
ALL THE EVIDENCE NECESSARY.
Saturday a letter was received from Anthony
Comstock, asking that tbe next letter received
from Warwick be sent to bim unonened, to
save the trouble of needing other witnesses.
Everything was In readiness for tbe raid, but
Mr. Comstock wanted full evidence in his
bands. However, it became necessary to make
the raid immediately, and no other letters were
received. Mr. Harrison did not know that ihe
arrest bad been made until he saw Ihe DIS
PATCH of Sunday He said yesterday that he
had been of the opinion tbat bad be cared to
deal in tho matter ho Mould have received
counterfeit money. He had had no idea tbat
it was sawdust that was to be delivered, but it
was all tbe same to him, as he didn't caro to
purchase either.
Mr. Smith says that tbe "money" thev of
fered him was a little higher than that they'
wanted to sell Mr. Harrison. Tho former was
offered a fine collection ot S3, $10 and 20 bills,
hut as they wero of no use iu tbe carriage bus
iness, be decided not to invest.
It is tbe opinion among McKeesporters tbat
when another confidence game is worked tbe
hunkoists will look for people with more con
fiding natures.
NOT IN THE BUSINESS FOR TROPIT.
Mort May, of New Castle, denies that he was
in the green goods business for profit, but says
he went into it to trap the men up. He is a
Canadian shoemaker and bas resided In New
Castle. Yesterday he made the following state
ment: "In September I received a letter addressed to
M. E. May. .Newcastle. 1'a. When I opened the
letter I lotuid a crisp new 2 bill, with a note, stat
ing that the writer, wl o signed his name ns S.
Rogers, anil irave Ills address as Ao. Go2 Ninth
avenue. New York, had In his possession plates
Molcn lroui the United States Government Print
lug Ollice, from which the sample bill liao been
struck, and tbat the not&'was so perfect that It
could not fall to pass even before the eyes of an
expert.'
Tbe letter also stated that thecompany repre
sented bv the writer had been cugaged in fur
nishing paper to tbe Government, and, although
a counterfeit, there was no possible way by
which the bill could be detected as such, as
both plates and paper were genuine. Rogers
also stated that they could furnish me with
10,000 in hills similar to the one in tbe letter
for S100."
The 82 bill ho received in the letter is still in
his possession. It is of ihe series of 1S90 and is
numbered 1,197.375. It is undoubtedly a genuine
bill, and was sent out simply as an inducement
to get people to correspond. May says he an
swered the letter and arranged the interview
simply to trap the green goods men, and, hav
ing bad business in Philadelphia, he arranged
that Rogers, or some other membcrof the gang,
should meet him there. At Philadelphia he
put np at tbe Eagle Hotel, and was introduced
to one of tbe swindlers, who took him to an
other hotel somo distance away, and up to a
third story room, where other samples ot the
green goods were shown to him. Ho says the
mouev was put up iu $100 packages, and there
were 81 and J2 bills. q
DISTURBED AT A CRITICAL TIME.
May opened one of tho packages and ex
amined its contents and asked for other pack
ages to look at. Jnst then there was a knock
at tho door, and the man who was exhibiting
tbe goods showed signs of agitation and whis
pered to May to take what he wanted and run.
He did not take tbe goods, but came home, and
arterward wrote for the gang to meet him in
Pittsburg, where, lie say.-, he intended to have
tbem arrested. May denies that he ever wrote
tbe letters which appeared In the papers, and
he says be never came from Philadelphia to
Pittsburg with any such persons, or had any
thing to do with the satchel.

DISPLACING NATURAL GAS,
MOORHEADS USING X COMBINATION OF
SLACK AND STEAM.
It Has Been a Success So Far and May be
Generally Introduced Employes Quit
on Account of Noiso Made by tho Escape
Pipe Other Labor Items.
Moorhead Bros. & Co. are still experi
encing a great deal of inconvenience in their
puddling department with an insufficient
supply of gas. The work is still continued
on the change ot hour system. The night
turn commences in the afternoon and the
day turn a little before midnight. In this
way there is not much time lost, but the
menare continually asking the change back
to the regular time of going to work. An
effort is again being made to supply this de
partment with nitrogen gas, better known as
slack and steam.
A pipe bas been connected with the main
battery of boilers, and two furnaces are using
this kind of fuel now. with abont a halt a
dozen more to be connected this week. In
opder to supply all tbe furnaces It Will be
necessary to erect another battery ot boilers
for a full supply of steam. If the system will
be enforced and continued it will no doubt be
a saving to the firm, as the gas companies'
charges aro said to be excessive. With the
nitrogen gas it is said tbat It will not require
more than 30 bushels of slack to produce one
ton of iron, which wonld make tbe cost little
more than half that of gas. Tbe department
has 32 qonble and single furnace', from which
10.000 gross tons of mnck iron will baye been
made at the end of the year if the mill can be
continued in operation, making tbe expense for
gas alone upward of S21,000for one year.
Two years ago the firm tried the same thing,
but it was not satisfactory enough to be con
tinued. The only objection the me" have is
the noise made from tbe escape pipe at every
furnace, which will be so great ibat tbey can
not bear eacb other's voice. Some of them
say if it is fully introduced they will look for
work elsewhere. A few have already gone to
work In other mills.
STILL WORKING IN SECRET.
The Locomotive Engineers Will Go to
Johnstown With Their Wives.
The Convention of the Brotherhood of Rail
road Engineers continued its sessions yester
day, and will probably not adjourn for ten days

At the engineers' meeting resolutions were

National Officers of the American Flints
Have to Fat Up $25,000.
The office of the American Flint Glass Work
ers' Union In this city yesterday looked like
the shipping room of a large printing establish
ment. Secretary Dillon was busily engaged
mailing copies of tbe new constitution and by
laws adopted at the July convention, to the
different local unions, to be distributed to the
6,700 members in the organization.
About, the most important change in the con
stitution of tbe organization is in the section
referringto bonds to be given by the President,
Secretary and Treasurer. These officers are
custodians of the resistance fund ana the
amount of their bonds have been incieased
from $15,000 to S25.000 eacb. The resistance
fnnd is to sustain any of the members in case of
strikes, and at tbe rate of 1 per cent of each
member's earnings eacb pay day it is rapidly
growing. It is proposed to raise abont f200.(KX)
and the "flints" will not only.be one of the most
conservative, as it now i, but one of tbe richest
labor organizations in the world.

PASSED FROM EARTH.
A Familiar Figure That Will be Seen No
More Death of Harvey F. Bollman in
His Steamboat-Like House Some of His
Peculiarities.
A quiet, familiar figure, and a rather re
markable one, passed away in Allegheny
yesterday, in Harvey V. Bollman, who died
ip a house remarkable also for its archi
tecture, situated on Woods' run. Mr. Boll
man was an intellectual man. and also one of
force and of good family, but his addiction to
tbe inebriating cup prevented him from occu
pying tbo place in tbe world be would other
wise .have taken. He dressed much in the
fashion of a feudal lord of a past age, and did
many strange things that his death calls to re
membrance. Harvoy Bollman was born in Philadelphia in
1807, or thereabouts, being in bis 8itb year. His
family was of Hanover, and one of his uncles,
Louis Bollman, was a correspondent of Hum
boldt, tbe scientist. South American and Mex
ican correspondence of 1S03, being in Harvey's
possession. Another uncle. Dr. Eric Bollman,
assisted in tbe rescue of General Lafayette
from the Austrian fortress of Olmnntz, In 1793.
Harvey Bollman served a mercantile appren
ticeship to the firm of Kurzland & Llghtner.
and was subsequently bookkeeper and for
warding clerk in the employ of Riddle & For
sytho, from 1821 to 182a He then took service
with Louis Hutchinson, father of James A.
Hutchinson, and eventually became a partner
of the latter, the connection lasting nntil 1837.
In 1841 the firm of Bollman & Garrison,
founders, owned and occupied tho ground now
covered by the postoffice and City Hall. That
year Mr. Bollman went to Enrope. and when he
returned devoted himself to business with such
effect that inlSOO he was able to retire, and be
again went to Europe for a time, but be cams
back and finally settled down on a piece of
land, GO acre, be had bought on Woods' run
in 1S34 for S1.60UL He bought other gronnd in
the vicinity, but subsequently sold a part to
tbe late William Dillwortb. The GO-acre farm
had belonged to a messenger of tbe Bank of
Pittsburg, and was sold at auction in tbe Court
House by Barney Hubley. auctioneer. As
Bollman stepped out of "the Old Seaton
House" he made the S1.G00 bid, and went away
and did not know for some time that tbe prop
erty had bpen kcocked down to him.
The name is as familiar in Pittsburg, owing
to the prominence In business circles of its
owner, as bas been tho figure of tbe deceased
on tbe portico of bis residence on the New
Brighton road. Henry L. Bollman, a cousin,
was President of tho Merchants and Manu
facturers' Bank for many years, and two of bis
sons are now members or tbe firm of Fulton,
Bollman fe Co., cordage works. Water street.
Henry L. Bollman is "till in the flesh, and lives
in anrai uaronna. me lateiiugn a. Fleming,
ex-Sheriff of this county, was married to a
niece of Harvey, and she has a brother living
in Monongahela City.
Harvey never married, and his housekeeper
not only presided over his household affairs,
but since be became blind transacted all bis
business under a power of attorney, and piloted
him through the city when he wished to movo
abroad. Their appearance attracted attention
at all times. He was tall anil slender, but
muscular, and wore a beard of 38 years' growth,
plaited and confined by a ring and earned un
der his vest. It was somo three feet long. He
made a vow in 1S43 that he would never shave
nntil General Scott was elected President, and
fidelity to that vow kept tbe razor off his race
fr life. His summer vesture was a long bine
coat and white pantaloons. He lost bis sight
about a duzen years ago. His seven-room
cottage on Woods' run. New Brighton road,
was surrounded by a piazza, and suggested tbe
appearance of an Obio river steamboat, to all
passers.

THE LADY AST) HZE DEESS.
An Interesting Qnestlon to Promenaders at
Issue In n Suit for Damages.
The right of a lady to promenade tbe streets
without tearing her dress, which right Hon. A.
C. Robertson so ably defended in Councils,
was tbe question at issue in a snit before Al
derman McMasters yesterday. The suit was
brought by Mrs. Fannie E." Pogne against the
city of Pittsburg and Contractor Timothy
Scanlon to rccoYerfthe value of a dress.
Mrs. Pogue testified that as she was passing
the corner of Seventh avenue and Grant street,
where the Bindley Hardware Company's build
ing was in the course of erection on May 11,
the wind blew her dress against a pile of debris,
and was so badly torn tbat she bad to go im
mediately to a store and purchase anew one.
John D. Watson, Esq., Mrs. Pogne's attor
Sey testified that shortly alter the damage was
done he had gone to the place named, and had
lomidtbe sidewalk occupied by piles of old
Ipmber covered with nails and faggled edges;
that be bad notified the contractor, but had re
ceived no answer from him, and nad then peti
tioned Councils, and had Deep advised by the
city officials to bring suit
The city ordinance prohibiting the use of the
sidewalks tor the purpo.e of piling on their
o'ns .materials was also offered in evidence,
and the defendant, Mr. Scanlon. admitted that
he had piled boards on tbe sidewalk, bet only
n.MLe..excatlo.?,,ile'not 0 the curb side.
His witness. Mr. Schultz. of the Hl-bways De
partment, however, said that old lumber, or
