ALL IN GOOD HUMOR
Boih Parties to the Great Political
Duel Claim to be in the
Yery Best of Spirits.
INDEPENDENTS VERY SANGUINE..
Eepnblicans a Little Short of Funds,
but Confident of Success,
evertheless.
BEICB PEEDICTS II'KINLEI'S DEFEAT.
Cicpuga Hiss Heetmgt Held Tirotghcit tie City Lut
Erecmg.
The local Independent Eepnblicans are
full of enthusiasm. At their headquarters,
yesterday, reports were received from 19
wards, townships and boroughs. One man
reported that in his precinct frozfl 75 to 100
Republicans would vote lor Pattison.
Prof. S. B. McLean sent in it communica
tion, in which he says: "If all the wards in
Allegheny county do as well as the Fif
teenth, the county will give Kohert E. Pat
tison a good majority. I have a list of good
Republican citizens and soldiers who will
not only rote, bnt will work hard for the
election or Pattison."
An Allegheny City official crossed the
river yesterday and Doured out his plaint to
The Dispatch. He said: "Why, look at
the Sixth ward. I am assured by people
who are in a position to know, that the ward
will go for Pattison.- That ward is almost
three to one Republican, and tne only time
it ever elected a Democrat was :n the case of
a Tery popular young fellow who was run
ning for Councils, and he only cot there by
his friends civiirg him what they expected
would merely be a complimentary vote. If
the Sixth ward, Allegheny, goes back on
us, where will we look for com ort?"
A JUBIXAJfT DEMOCRAT.
Timothy J. O'Leary. Jr., was feeling
happy yesterday. He already saw Pattison
taking his seat at Harrisbunr. "Why," he
exclaimed, "it's a landslide. They can't
beat Pattison. I was talking with a man
from Bradford to-day. He told me that
there was no necessity to work for Pattison
iu the oil regions. Every influential news
paper that goes there is for Pattison, and is
making sentiment which will be felt to a
surprising extent on election day. It's no
use talking," said Mr. O'Leary, medita
tively, "the newspapers control public opin
ion." "I should not be surprised," continued
Mr. O'Leary, "if the eastern end of the
State proves to be more disaffected than Al
legheny county. Philadelphia county will
not give Delamater much of a majority. I
heard from there to-day, and I understand
that before election day there will be a num
ber of arrests, probably amounting up into
the hundreds, ot persons who hare been
manipulating the registry lists. Lacka
wanna county, I am assured, will swell its
normil Democratic majority of 1,500 to
over 4 000. You know yourse f, Mr Binga
man," and he turned to the Chief Clerk of
the Department o( Public "Works, "that
Chester county is trembling in the balance,
and Delaware county Democrats have strong
hopes of giving Pattison a majority. In
fact, all the counties around Philadelphia
are in the air "
'Squire Herman Handel passed by just
then, and all he said, as be waved his hand,
was. It s in the air, coys.
KEPUBLICAUS UOT DISCOXCEBTED.
At the Republican headquarters every
thing looks briuht and gay, but they will
make no claims. They simply say, "Let
the other side make all the claims they
want to: we will &how them on election
day."
Chairman Porter is hustling, and goes to
Greensburg to-day on a secret mission, but
what it is he would not say.
It was no secret yesterday that the Re
publican Allegheny County Committee's
hank account had a balance on the wrong
sine of the sheet. Subscription lists are to
be stirted immediately to remedy this state
oi urTairs.
Chiei Brown drops into headquarters
quite frequently, but always insists that
"thereis nothing new in "politics." Mr.
Brown is kept busy assisting Chairman Por
ter in managing the countr campaign. Mr.
William Pliun, who was devoting consider
able tme to this work, lias discovered that
his Democratic opponent for Senator in the
JForty-fourth Senatorial district, Mr. J. A.
Clarke, has been making an exhaustive can
vass, and it behooved the Republican candi
date to get out and do some work lor him
self. This has resulted in throwing the
buraen oi the general engagement upon
Chie Brown.
M'KINLEY'S HARD FIGHT.
i
CAL BRICE SAYS HE WILL BE DEFEATED
BY 1,500 VOTES.
How Governor Hill is stamping Through, J
the Oluo Tarifl Man's, District Pittsburg
Money Being Distributed IJreely
Other Republican Congressmen Slay he
linocked Out.
Calvin S. Hnce, Chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committee, passed through
the city last evening on his way to New
York to attend a meeting of the Democratic
Congressional Committee to-day. He had
just come Irom Ohio, where he worked with
Goternor Hill, of New York, to de eat
Major McKmlej for re election. Chairman
Brie said he left tbe Governor in McKinley's
district, and there was no question about the
latter's defeat. He said Warwick, the Demo
cratic candidate, will De elected by from VJ00
to 1,500 majority. He also expects to see the
whole Congressional representation from Ohio
evened uc. and instead of there being a ma
jority of 11 Republican Representatives iu the
next House irom that State. there will be
about four. Chairman Bnce said:
I have been tianiplng around through Ohio
the past three necks, and after the Congres
sional meeting I expect to put in everyday
ui.til Not ember 4 woi king for the defeat of Mc
Kinley and the other Ohio representatives.
Major McKinley is bard at work, and tbe money
tent into th- State by Pittsburg iron manufact
urers, and others interested in a hich tariff, is
being pent freely. SIcKinley is exacting the
fulfillment of tbe promi-es made by the manu
facturers, not only of Pittsburg, "but all over
tbe country, that they w ould belphim out for
re-e'ecHon. There is more money being spent
in McKinley's district alone in this tight than
there ever was betore in a whole State cam
paign. Notwithstanding tbe fact that it is
p luring in at a rapid raie, tbe boodle has not
made an impression as far as we can see and
is not breaking througu our lines. Tbe Penn
sylvania fight is not a marker to tbe efforts
being tuaue to re-elect MoKinley. We have
him on the run, and the people ot his district
are now showing their disapproval of that high
tariff fallacy of the Major's. He will be de
feated by trom L'00 to 1.500 votes.
"The Republicans now have 16 members of '
Congress and we have 5. I expect to see this
charged to about 12 to 8, and if we are enabled
to do it, there is no question about the com
plexion of tbe next House, Governor Hill u
now going tnrough tbe distiict and the Repub
licans cannot stem tbe tide in favor of War
wick. Etery place the Governor speaks be is
tendered a big ovation, and be is making scores
of votes lor tbe Democratic candidate. One of
tbe campaign lies circulated by the friends of
McKinley was that Mr. Warwick could not
make a speech. Ibis shows the desperate
straits they are put to, and it was promptly
squelched bv the Democratic candidate, who
is on tbe stnmp blm-elf.
"I am nt paying much attention to the fight
between-Quay .and Pattison, but tbe latter
items to be making votei without any trouble.
If be is elected there lis no question but its in
fluence will be felt In the Congressional elec
tion'!. It will help us i onderfully.
The meeting of tbe,Congresslonil Commit
tee is to look over the fle)U and see what Is best
to be done about the situation. Evervthlng
looks rosy for a Democratic Congress."
THE EAST END STIRRED UP.
DELAMATER MEETING IN THE FRANKS
TOWN RINK.
John S. Robb Refutes Emery's Charges and
Defends Senator Quay Postmaster "VTan

Stories From General Bussey.
The Atnericus Club held a meeting in the
Frankstown avenue rink, East End. last
evening. The weather was not of the sort
that would be the cause of a great amount of
enthusiasm, but the singing of a quartet in
side the rink kept the audience in a good
humor.
The club turned out 60 men, and, headed
by the Grand Army Band, had a short street
parade after disembarking from the cable cars.
Upon arriving at the rink the meeting was
called to order by Charles U. Baer, and Alex
ander Dempster, the coal operator, was chosen
Chairman. He made a few remarks and Intro
duced John S. Rubb, Esq. The latter paid a
glowing tribute to benatnr Delamater's ability,
intelligence and honesty and business capacity.
As to Emery's charges, be said there was not a
jot or tittle of legal evidence against Dela
niater. Speaking of Pattison. he said ha tried
to make the people believe that there was no
feneral issue at stake, but he knew that the
icKinley tariff bill is on (rial in this election.
Mr. Kubb read the letter written by Senator
Cameron to benator Quay on July 10. 1SS5.
about the latter's nail, and made a strong de
nial of tbe charges made against the junior
nenaior. in nnismnc ue urged tnem to vote
for Delamater and lie would guarantee that he
woulu make as good a Governor as Pennsyl
vania ever had.
Colonel Chill V. Hazzard followed and read
a letter from Postmaster General John Wana
inaker. in which the latter regretted his ina
bility to be present.
George W. Darr, Esq , a member of the Oil
Producers' Commission which went to Harris
bnrg in the Interest of tbe Billingsley bill, said
the bill was fixed in the interests of Emery and
his Philadelphia interest., and he was angry at
Delamater for tbe defeatof the bill in the Sen
ate. General Cyrus Bussey, Assistant Secretary of
the Interior, was the next speaker. He told a
storv of 15 soldiers who, duri jg a revival, went
to be baptized. The occurrence was told to
the Colonel of another regiment, ho. not to
be outdone, at often detailed 20 men for bap
tism. He understood, be said, there was some
one in Pittsburg, who is detailing Republicans
for baptism into tbe Democratic partv. The
Question it.. Will you be baptized?
"No," was the shout of man in the audience.
He touched on the policy of protection, say
ing tbe people of Pittsburg do not fully under
stand what hev receive from nroiectiou. Kb
likened the protective tariff to the Ml-sissippi
levee protecting the surrounding fertile coun
try from the ragins waters. Coutinuinc be
referred to the good effects of the MoKinley
bill, stating that It would not raise prices, but
would reduce them. He concluded witb infer
ence to the impoverished condi ion of this
country under Democratic and free trade rule,
and its present prosperous condition under Re
publican protective rule.
WIX ATTENDED MEETINGS
Of the Independent in the Hancock and
Kle enth Ward Schools.
For a rainy, disagreeable night the Inde
pendent Republican meeting held last eveninz
in the Hancock school building was excep
tionally large. Tne audience was enthusi
astic and appreciative of the speakers, who
were John D. Watson and Thomas P itterson,
of the Allegheny county bar. Tbe Chairman
was Peter Richter, one of the overseers at
Riverside Peniten-iary. Mr. Watson, who was
the first speaker, occupied the atteqtion of
those present for over an hour, during which
he said that he appeared there as an nnwilling
witness, and liad been farced into' giving testi
inonv about the name, reputation and charac
ter, political and otherwise, of the Republican
candidate for Governor. By the po-itiveness
of his statem'-nts he carried conviction to the
effect that at least he was honest iu his posi
tion as an independent in the present contest.
Mr. Patterson, tbe last speaker, had previ
ously addressed a large meetingin the Eleventh
ward scbnolbousc, whereat Mr. George Cham
bers wa Chairman, and he confl. ed himself to
remarks calculated to encourage voters to cast
their ballots fearlessly, in spite of tho fact that
the present svstem of numbering election
tickets gave an opportunity for the board al
though unlawful!) t ascertain how each sus
pected man had voted.
A meeting will be held to-nicht in the Thir
teenth ward schnolhouse. and on Saturday
evening in the Oakland school building of the
Fourteenth ward. Both of these meetings will
be addressed by the best speakers on the list
DELAMATEE'S PALLBEAEEBS
Is "What Some of the Senator's Supporters
Arc Called at a Colored Sleeting.
A handful of colored men, among n hom were
a few of their white brethren, who had dropped
in "promiscuous like," assembled in the Grand
Central Kink", last evening, to hear addresses
from the Rev. G. M. Townsend, of Washing
ton, and ex-henatnr W. SI. Jones, of bouth
Carolina. Tbe meeting was called "by order of
tbe Committee on Meetings and Speakers"
but the mandate was honored more in the
breach tbau in the observance.
R. W. Scott presided, and J. jr. F. Foster
read a list of Vice Presidents, which included
the nan.es of Robert E. Mercer. Sam Warm
castle, James McKean, Heber McDowell" and
oiber politicians. Mr. .Scott, when asking the
meetinc to accept the names of the gentlemen,
referred to them as"pallbearers." Mr.Townsend
on being introduced said, thouzh he was a
Methodist preacher, he always tbougbt it his
Christian duty to curse thoe who invaded the
nchts of the people, and never keep his mouth
shut when he should speak out. The preacher
acted on his belief for about 13 minute-, when
tbe Rev. Sir. Clinton took up tbe thread of dis
course, all of which proposed to help Mr. Del
amater along in his Gubernatorial aspira
tions. An appropriate tune from tbe band ush
ered the audience out into tbe cold and clammy
night air.

The Position of Commandant of the
lawrenceville Arsenal
A SINECURE IS TIMES OP PEACE.
Eegal Mansion, Go6d Salary and ETery thing
One Conld Wisli.
HKN- WHO HATE HELD THE POSITION
Colonel A, S. M. Morgan is in command
of the TJ. S. Arsenal iu Lawrenceville,
pending the arrival of a successor to "Major
George W. McKee, whose transfer to Frank
ford Arsenal, in Philadelphia, .was. men
tioned in The Dispatch yesterday. The
War Department has as yet made no of
ficial announcement of tne appointment of
Major Frank H. Phipps to the command of
the arsenal here, but the rumor that fie is to
be the new chief is based on pretty good
authority.
MajorPhipps has for several years past
had charge of the Government's Piccatinny
powder depot, at Dover, N. J. He is about
45 years ot age. He ranks as one of" the
best executive officers in the army, and is
said to stand high iu tbe influence of the
heads ot the department He was a grad
uate ol West Point in the class of '63, and
was a classmate of Major MeKee, the officer
he now succeeds.
The retiring commandant, Major McKee,
became very popular with tbe wealthier
business men of Pittsburg during, his stay
of over lour years at this post. His face
THE COMMANDANT'S
was yery familiar at the Duquesne and
Pittsburg Clubs.
TWO MEN WHO WILL BE MISSED.
It was something new for the officers
stationed at the arsenal to mingle in civilian
circles in "Pittsburg to such an extent as
frequenting the clubs, and perhaps Major- Mc
Kee and Colonel Morgan, his assistant, are tho
only two who ever entered heartily into fash
ionable life here. For that reason tbe Major
will be sadly missed now. He was one of those
hospitable Kentucklans whose snave manners
and charming style of conversation made cap
tives of friends on all sides. He is verv hand
some, witb a distinguished military bearing.
Altbouch he bad a magnificent Kentucky thor
oughbred in tbe arsenal stables, he was a man
who loved to walk. On almost any morning up
until hi departure East this week he might
have been seen on Penn avenue, "walking clear
iu from tbe arsenal to lunch at tho Duquesne, a
distance of three miles.
To be commandant at the Allegheny Arsenal
in these piping times of peace is to have un
bounded opportunity to lead a luxurious life of
idleness. The position is a sinecure, for there
is a detail of only 25 soldiers at the post, and
the duties of tbe commanding officer are
merely to see that the place is taken care of.
He serves as a dignified bitching post for the
line of red tape wnich reaches here from Wash
ington. The officer is supplied with ample
clerical force, so that bis office work amounts
to practically nothing.
ALL THE COMFOETS OF HOME.
A regal stone mansion, which is partially
furnished, horses, carriages, sleighs and a
library are all among tbe fixed property at tbe
arsenal, which is temporarily tbe property of
every officer who is detailed here. Tbe salary,
of course, is regulated by the rank whir h the
officer happens to hold. Tbe retiring comman,
der. lor Instance, being a Major, received some
where in tbe neighborhood of 3.300 yearly,
with bis percentage! add.-d. A certain per
centage is added to the salaries of mounted
officers every five years.
Tbe stone mansion of the commandant of the
arsenal is one of the oldest bouses m Pittsburg,
aim one of the most historic, also. It was built
in 1813-4, and is still as substantial as more mod
ern structures. It is to the right of tbe parade
grounds going in from the romantic-looking old
gateway on Butler street. Trees and beautiful
shrubbery surround tbe mansion, and in sum
mer it is a perfect paradise. 'Its counterpart is
found on tbe opposite side of tbe grounds,
where Colonel Murgan lives.
To cooler the names of army officers who
have lit ed in this stone house, which is now to
be oecupted by Major Phipps. furnishes remi
niscences of many sensational episodes in tne
history o" the nation. Iu first occupant was
Colonel A. RWooley, in 1811. He was detailed
to Pittsburg by the Government in tbe days of
tho Second War of the Revolution to have
charge over the work ot building a earnson and
arsenal at this point. He remained until the
great enterprise was completed.
A MAN HATED BY OLD HICKORY.
Colonel Wooley had the honor of being hated
by General Jackson. They had some en
counter in tbe war Kith tbe Seminole Indians,
and Wooley there offended Jackson tosucu
an extent that tbe iron fighter threatened to
kill him at sight. Some very old. Fittsburgers
used to give as their recollection of Wooley
that he was something of a martmette. To
this day his initials, "A. R. W," may be seen
on an oval plate, high up on the Butler street
wall of tbe huge armory stone lonress, or
armory building, in the lower grounds.
The officers who succeeded him, and who in
turn lived in the stone house, were Major R, L.
Baker.SIajor H. K. Craig and Captain Edward
Harding. This was up until the Mexican War.
After that there came to tho arsenal to par
ticipate In its command Lieutenant T. J. Bod
man, whose experiments in Pittsburg gave-him
undying lame as one of ihe greatest gun in
ventors who ever lived. He was eminently a
scientist, whose capabilities the manufacturing
interests of this city gavel U play. His In
ventions were utilized by tbe Goternment, and
afterward when he was a partner ot Gunmaker
Knapp, at the old-time Fort Pitt caunon
factor), on Pike streer. be filled extensive con
tracts, not only for tnls nation, but for the
Governments oft foreign countries. At tbe
outbreak ot the Civil War "Rodman guns"
were prized as invaluable.
SOME OF THE OTHER COMMANDANTS.
Major William H. Bell and Lieutenant T. J:
Breretonalso served as commanders of tbe
arsenal between 1850 and 1S57. Lieutenant
Brercton was a sou in-law of Sirs. Denny, of
Pittsburg, and there is an avenue in the
Twelfth ward now named after him.
One of tbe most turbulent careers at the Alle
gheny Arsenal was that of Major John Sym
ington, who was the commandant there from
1SS7 to 1862. On the 21th of December, 1660, be
received an order from Fiojd, Secretary of
War, to ship on that day 150 pieces of cannon,
lying at tbe Allegheny ArseniLto New Orleans
under pretext that they were wantedfor mount
ing on Ship Island, in tbe Gulf of Mexico, on
which some fortifications had been begun. The
intelligence of this order having gotten abroad,
spread rapidly among the people. The Dis
patch of December 25, commenting Upon this
news said:
"Will our people submit to this? Our citizens
of all parties as a unit denounce the movement,
tnd prominent Democrats, leading Breckinridge
men, have teleeraphed to Washington to have the
order revoked. ihe people orAlle
eneny county should see that the cannon pur
chased by the national treasure are not conveyed
to the tar fonth. and they need not barricade
Penn and Liberty streets to prevent It. Let tnem
ducide that no cannon sball be shipped till
Vharlct ton Arsenal is in potitsiinn of the fed
eral Governmrnt ami fort Moultrie reinforced,
AND NONE WILL BE."
GUNS HELD ON WOOD STREET. -The
italics and capitals are as orig
inally printed in the article. Commander
Symington was called upon by- committee
and requested to desist from obeying the order,
on tho ground that it bad its origin under cir
cumstances which contemplated treasonable
results. The officer could only suggest that a
rescinding of the order be obtained from Wash
ington. In the meantime an informal meetinc
had been held on the afternoon of the 25th at
tbe Mayor's office to take action in the matter.
Tbe result was that after intense excitement
tbe citizens stopped the guns on Wood street,
as they were being hauled to tbe wharf for
shipment, and held them there until Secre
tary Stanton revoked the order.
A few days later a murmur, deep and deter
mined, started in Lawrenceville. Tbe good
citizens out there bad noticed that for three
days the flag bad not floated, as nsual, from the
high s aff in the rear of the armory building.
AH EXCUSE ajHAT WAS TLAUSIBLE.
A committee, of whom the late Dr. Robinson,
of the Fifteenth.ward, was one, was appointed
to visit Commander Symington also. They aid so,
and demanded to kmrtv whether tbe firing on
Fort Sumter bad anything to do with the absence
of the flag from that staff. Tbe Major hastily
explained that the weather had been bad, and
tho arsenal bad. not yet received its storm flag
from headquarters. As now flags are received
atthe end ot every yeai, this excuse at least
scemea piausime.
It was also during Major Symington's term
of command that the ponder magazines at the
arsenal blew up, killing more tban 80 persons
outright, A short time afterward he was trans
ferred to another post.
Major K. H. K. Whitely succeeded Major
Symington, and bo bad a very long term of
cummand, remaining there nntil 1872. Ho was
a strict churchman, and became an elder in tbe
Tbirtj-ninth Street Presbyterian Church, in
tbe palmy days of the venerable Kev. Richard
Lea's pastorate. Everybody in Latvreucevilie
knew his familiar form. His daughter married
Edward Johns, Esq, and is still a resident of
Lawrenceville. The Major is now on the re
tired list ot tlin army, and lives at Baltimore.
He was here on a visit last week.
AN INCIDENT OF THE MOTS.
Major Buflington assumed command of the
arsenal in 1875. and held it nntil 1SS0. He was
the officer who locked tbe iron gates of tbe
stronghold during tbe railroad riots, and re
fused to open tbcm to give shelter to tbe re
treating Philadelphia troops, when the mob
chased them Fenu avenue. He was sue-
HISTORIC MANSION.
ceeded by Captain J. W. Reilly, who remiined
at tbe post from 1880 to 1&S6. Captain Reilly
was literary in bis tastes, and one of the most
polished scholars ever detailed here. His deep
interests in the efforts of Pittbprg peonle to
have the arsenal grounds turned into a nat lonal
foundry a few years ago will ever be remem
bered on his beh ilf. He is now in charge of
the arsenal at Augusta, Go. Slajor McKee fol
lowed Captain Reiliv to ibis point.
Colonel Morgan, the present offiuer second in
command at tbe arsenal, is a member of the
celebrated Morgan familv. which settled that
portion of Washington county now known as
Morcanza. His father, James V. Morgan, died
only a vear ago in this city, at the age of W
years. It was Colonel Morgan's ancestors who
fiznre in tho nation's romantic hlstorv as enter
taining Aaron Bur- on the spot now known as
Morganzi. They exposed Burr's nefarious de
signs on the Government.
Altogether, that old stone mansion in the
arsenal has had some interesting occupants.
DRAWING THE LINE.
Wholesalers Must Not Supply Saloons The
Retail Grocers' Association Calling
Down Violators of Its Kales Pass Books
That Are Neat and Valuable.
The Retail Grocers' Associativa of Pitts
burg met List night in its hall on Smith
field street. There was a good attendance
despite the inclement weather
The reports of the agents employed by
the association to collect bad debts were
highly encouraging. Tbey showed a total
collection for the two weeks of 5229 86. The
collections tbat have been reported during tbe
East several months have been larger than ever
efore in the history of the association.
On last meeting night complaint were en
tered against Heinz it Co and Lutz Brothers,
charging them with selling to consumers. The
agents were ordered to see these firms concern
ing the cbarge. This was done, and, as a con
sequence, Mr. Keipers was present at the meet
ing, representing Heinz L Co , and a communi
cation was read from Lutz Brothers. The mat
terwas immediately taken up. Mr. Keipers
was given the floor, and, in substance, be said:
"The first 1 knew of this was when I was n ti
fled by the association." He added that he
didn't know tbe line was drawn on saloons, but
tbey never solicited the trade, and if their
wagons uiu stop at saloons it was without tbe
knowledge of the firm.
Tbe association passed a law some time ago
prohibiting wholesalers supplying saloons,
classing them with consumers. This law was
never announced to many of tbe wholesalers,
-aud thb consequence is that a number ot them
have been supplying saloons lately. Mr. Keip
crs said that if the association stated just
where it drew the line, the firm would, without
further trouble, keep within it.
Sir. O'Donnell said that the line was not
drawn on large saloons aud hotels. Hereafter
when the agents hear of complaints entered
against any firm it will be their duty to see the
firm, notifying them of such complaint, and
then If they don't obej, the matter will be
banded in to the association for action. The
communication that was received from Lutz
Bros, reads as follows:
Ueti.fmev-'1o tbo best of onr knowledge we
donotsclloods to saloons Our agents are in
structed not to do so. We have sold a few eoods
to restaurauU when called for. and wire h.
tlie Impression that It was allowed by the associa

ET. KEY. BISHOP COXE'S LECTURE
At Trinity Church on tbe Subject of tbe
Old Catholic Church.
ALL PLEASED AT THEIE RECEPTION
The lecture of Bishop Coxe at Trinity
Church last evening proved both interesting
and instructive. Tbe subject of the old
Catholic Church ofITran.ee has long en
grossed the attention of tbe Episcopal
Church of America, and notwithstanding
the inclemency of the weather, there was
quite a large audience present to hear what
the Bishop had to tell of-the work in which
he has so greatly interested himself.
Before the lecture began. Bishop Coxe
said he felt called upon to make an an
nouncement, and after stating that the
proposition for the lecture came from the
Bishop of Tennessee, and it would have to bo
compressed on account of want of time, con
tinned: "I would not go away from Pittsburg without
expressing on my own behalf tbe gratitude I
feel for tbe reception accorded us. Tbe ar
rangements tor our entertainment were most
admirable and your hospitality has been truly
open-hearted. Indeed, I may say tbat I have
never seen such work done elsewhere. I must
relieve my heart by tbe tokens of my thanks to
the Bishop of this diocese and all of our hosts
this week."
In tne course ot bis introduction of the
speaker of tbe evening, tbe Chairman. Bishop
Charles Todd Qulntard. of Tennessee, said:
"'I suppose there was scarcely ever a time
when tbe hearts of those who profess and call
themselves Christians, so yearned for the unifi
cation of Christendom. I thank God I
am permitted to be here to night- to introduce
to you Bishop Coxe as the speaker of the even
isc, for no one knows more of tbe Uaellcan
Church tban he, and he will make you glad
you have come through the bad weather to
hear him."
"I thought this meeting should not close until
eomething bad been said in regard to this
work," said Bishop Coxe. "The cause Is one of
which we should all know. We are to do cood
to all men, and especially to those who have
faitb. We have no rieht to be indifferent to
the cause of any church, and the Bishops feel
tbat we owe a debt of gratitude to that little
church in Paris, known astbeGaelican Church.
A work has begun there which, by tbe grace of
God and yonr efforts, will bring the results so
much wanted."
The speaker read a statement from Bishop
I'otter, otjNew rork, commending tms move
ment. He reviewed tbe work and the condi
tions of religion In France at the present time,
and said that in different parts of that country
there is a demand for the reform. The McAil
mission was discussed, and the speaker said
that while it was a good mission it does not
even aim at what can be done with tbe amount
of money expended. Bishop Coxe read from
the opinions of well-known French church men
tbat the reformation of France was not started
on tbe right basis and tbat tbe greatest mistake
was tbat it destroyed tbe ancient order of
Bishops.
Tbe churches in Holland abd Switzerland
were mentioned, the speaker saying that while
tbe faith is the same as that of tbe American
church the rites are different. But for tbat
matter, be said, the English have their own
rites, and other nations have theirs, but the
Lord's Prayer, the Commandments and the
Crepd remains the same, and they are thus
alike.
Bisbop Coxe disenssod the breaking away of
the Cnurcb. ot Holland from tbe Roman Catho
lic Chnrcb. and aIo mentioned a meeting of
church representatives from Germany, Switzer
land and Holland, held not long azo, the most
of which ho denounced. In conclusion he asked
for tbe offerings of those present in behalf of
the reform movement in France.
ROUTINEBUSINESS.

The Episcopal Missionary Council Finishes

penitential season, and to convey this resolu
tion to the rectors of the country.
The annual report ol the American Church

tbe colored mlssi ns and tbe clercy were re
quested to bring tbe matter before their con
gregations. The church enrollment fuud, which
was started in 1833 to raise $1,000,000 in three
vers. was brought before tbe house by Rev.
Dr. Lytle, who wants the fund to close. Dr.
Robert declared the fund "a monumental fail
ure, " as only $125,000 has been raised. A reso
lution was adopted to allow the fund to remain
open until 1S92. when some disposition will be
made of be cafh on band.
Rev. Dr. Slaterlee of New York, talked about

tion, which was adopted, that tbe Board of
Managers take measures as speedily as possible
to reinforce tbe missions at Athens.
As all tbe business of tbe council had been
finished tbo session adjourned with tbe usual
ceremonies.
THE HOUSE OF BISHOPS.
A Visit to he SJade to Japan by One of the
Ministers.
Tbe House of Bishops closed their delibera
tions yesterday without electing any new bish
ops. There is to be a bishop of Yeddo, Japan,
however, and this matter was nut in the hands
of the presiding officer. Bishop Williams, of
Connecticut. The liisjiop is to appoint one of
tbe present bishops to go to Japan on a viilt,
look over tbe condition of affairs and report to
tbe presiding bisbop, wbo will then have the
power to appoint a bishon to gntto Yeddo.
This was the only matter of importance acted
npon by the bishops tbat tbey were willing to
make public. However, they had quite a num
ber of meetings, and there was no doubt a large
amount of important business before them.

"William Thompson, Allegheny City, Myste
riously Drops Oat of Sight.
William Tbompson, of No. 21 Anderson
street, Allegheny, has been missing since last
Tuesday evening. His mother, Mrs. Nancy J.
Thompson, called at Alderman Gripp's office
yesterday inquiring for her son. She gave a

ward telephoned to a number of places through
out tbe cit). but nothing could be learned of

deavor to find him if be is in tbo city.

who was recently married to her daughter,
charging him with perjury. Mrs.Tuompson
alleges tbat Smith swore falsely to the age of
ber daughter in order tbat he could get a mar
riage license. This trouble with Smith and

EAPID STBJDES TO WEALTH.
Pittsburg's Real Estate More Than Doubled
in Value in Ten Years.
A statement prepared by ihe Board of As
sessors, showing the assessed valuation of real
estate and personal property for tbe years 1880
and 1890, has been forwarded to Census Super
intendent Porter by Mayor Gonrley. Ihe as
sessed valnation of real estate In 1S80 was $96,
721,883; In 1S90, S199.75l.o00. an increase of $103,
029.617. Tbe valuation of personal property in
1880 wan $2,862,661; in 1S90. $1,393,175. a decrease
of 5M6S.486. The decrease in tbe personal
property valuation is accounted for by an act
of Assembly releasing certain personal prop
erty from taxation.
One series of questions on the census blank'
called for tbe amount of real estate and per
sonal property held by colored persons, but
there are no record; kept to show this, and the
assessors had no means by which to make a
report.

ARRANGING DETAILS.
WINDOW GLASS WILL. BE SOLD AS USUAL
UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING,
And Then the New Combination "Will As
sume Control The Ladles' Auxiliary
"Winds Up IU Business What Was Done
by the Engineers Yesterday.
Tho American Window Glass Company
has been successfully launched on tbe in
dustrial ocean. There are still some details
to be perfected. These will receive atten
tion at th 2ext Eusoting, which will be held
in Chicago on the 22d proximo. No specific
date has as yet been fixed when tbe business
life of the company shall begin. That will be
decided at the next meeting.
In tbe meanwhile the factories will continue
to trade as In tbe past. It is authoritatively
stated that no change in tbe price ruling since
March G last bas been made. On the other
band, it is more than hinted that prices will be
advanced at the next meeting.
The proprietors of the company claim cer
tain good results will follow on tbe scheme.
Among these is that the uniformity of prices
will be to the advantage of the manufacturer,
tbe dealer and the consumer. To the former
by insuring him a steady retnrn for his prod
uct: to the dealer by assuring him in the
quality or bis purchases: and to tbe consumer
by enabling him to calculate with more cer
tainty on the costot tbe article by obviating
fluctuations in price. When it is remembered
that the price of window glass has ranged 20
per cent in 12 months, there are some grounds
iur assuimntr mat contractors can, in luture.
calculate with more certainty on tbe cost of
tbe article. Another advantage claimed for
tbe combination is that It will
benefit the worker by increasing bis
earnings. This will result on the deter
mination of tbe company to raise tbe quality
of American glass to sucb a point as will en
able it to compete on level ground with tbe
now superior foreign manufacture and ulti
mately dnve it out of the market. Tbe com
pany looks with jealous eyes on the million
boxen of glass nowiannually imported, and de
sire to see it replaced by tbe home article.
Hence would follow Increased consumption of
native glass, necessitating longer fires, better
qualities and higher earnings.
The identity of each factory will not be lost
in tbe combination. Each house will nave-Its
distinctive marks and will continue to profit
by extended sales, by its reputation as much as
it it were trading on the outside. Man
ufacturers who have established a name
for the superiority of their product are
deservedly jealous of their reputation. If any
plan suggestive of a common pooling of the
outputs of the factories bas been proposed, it
is safe to say tbe scheme now consummated
would not have bad a supporter.
The operations of tbe company will be In full
swing by tbe end of tbe year. The details ap
pertaining to the floating of a company with a
capital ot $6,000,000 are not perfected very
easil). There are yet some legal formalities to
be complied with owing to the adhesion of the
United Glass Company and the 252 pots com
prised within it, pefected at the late meeting.
The company will control the product of about
1,050 pots, leaving but a small number, in the
East, on the outside. The trade of the Eastern
houses is entirely local, and South, and tbe
reality they make is suitable only for tbe
riglon where tbey sell. Most of tbe Eastern
product finds its way South, where inferior
grades and low prices nlt the trade very well.
