"I am sorry I didn't know about it. If I had been invited two days ago I should have been glad of tlic opportunity to speak in Pittsburg to-night," said Secretary Blaine to Harry W. Oliver, Jr.. last even ing at the Monongahela House. "And I am very sorry we didn't invite you," answered Sir. Oliver. "We thought you were too busy, and I see we have missed a great treat" Secretary Blaine, accompanied by Mrs. Blaine, his daughter, who is his private secretary, and William "Walter Phelps, Minister to Germany, arrived on the limited. As his destination was Chicago, with a stop-over to-day at Canton, where he will make a speech for McKinley, no prepara tions were made to receive the distinguished statesman in Pittsburg, where he has in times pist always been warmly welcomed. A CONTRAST TO FORMEK TIMES. The newspaper men who remembered the great ovation he received here in 1884 were strnck with the contrast last evening. Will iam Fiinn, Postmaster McKean, Collector Warmcast'e, Major W. K. Ewing, a cousin from Washington, and X. P. Reed were at the depot to meet him, but there was no crowd. The presence of the ladies made it s little embarrassing lor the gentlemen, but Mr. Biaine greeted them cordially, and re marked that he had expected to see no one that he knew. He then explained to Col lector Warmcastlc that he was going to Chicago to see his son, and that be woula have to get up early in the morning in order to stop off at Canton and speak for Mc Kinley. He expects to be iu Pittsburg again next week Mr. Blaine assured his relative, Mr. Swing, that he was in excellent health, though his face and hair are as white as chalk. It was generally understood that on account of a supposed unfriendliness to Senator Qnay Mr. Blaine would not speak in Pennsylvania. When he said he would be back next week Harry Oliver and If. P. Heed at once asked him to make a speech. They represented that the State was in bad shape and his assistance was needed. THIXKS THSP.E CAX BE 2TO DANGER. "Oil, I think you are unnecessarily fright ened, jre-itlemen," answered the Secretary. "War. for Pennsylvania to go Democratic this fall would be like the old guard lying down on the battlefield. That must never he. If Pennsylvania goes against us, what can we expect from other States? It would simply mean thai the McKinley tariff bill was not appreciated by the people of this State, whom it is designed to protect. "Ah, no, I think you are working on my feelings to get me to make a speech in Pi Us -hurc. Surely Pennsylvania is not in dan:r." "But," persisted Mr. Oliver, "we wish to make assurance doubly sure, and a speech from jon in Pittsburc wouid mean 25,000 more vote for the Republican ticket." "Weli," said the Secretary, with em pasis, "if I thought I could change 25,000 votes I would m ike 25 speeches in Pennsyl vania. This is my native State, and I would be glad to speak in Pittsburg, if I could see my way clear." Alter some further talk along this line, Mr. Blaine almost promised that he would be here some day next week, and he would let the committee know on what date as soon as he got to Chicago. Mr. Reed took this statement as an acceptance of the invitation exteuded, and preparations will be com menced to give the Secretary a grand re ception. OFLATr IJT THE TARIFF BILL. "When Mr. Blainr was asked what he thought of the alleged flaw tnat was dis covered iu the McKinley law bv the New York importers, he replied that it was done Jor purely political purposes, and the impor ters would find out that the tariff act was valid. The burden of Mr. Blaine's talk was that Pennsylvania could not afford to go Democratic alter the passage of the tariff, lhat it would be showing ingratitude. He still holds to his ide.is on reciprocity, but he also thinks that the McKinley bill is good policy, and does not conflict with His views. No allusion was made to his Presidental aspirations, but the aged Secre tary's wUlinzness to help out the party in this State is taken as an indication that" he expects a solid delegation for himself from Pennsylvania. A card was sent to Minister Phelps room, hut he sent back word that he would see the reporters in the morning. The bellbov who carried the card described Mr. Phelps as "a very ugly man." A STRUGGLE IN THE SIXTH. William McFarland Fishing Captain Jiesblt Closely for the Legislature. Quite au excitin struggle is being carried on ia the Sixth Legislative district, on the south side of the Monongahela. The Re publican candidates are David R. Jones and Captain W. J. Ncsbir, ami their Demo cratic opponents are "William A. McFarland and J. W. Imiu. Just :.t thib stage of the game it appears that Mr. McFjrlaud has been working hard, and with tucii a degree of success that it looks as if he might beat Captain Kesbit in the race to Harrisburg. The latter has now jumped into the fisht with a vim, and ex perts to make it very interesting for Mr. McFarland. THE SOUTESIDE SHAKY. County Commissioner Morcer Acknowledges Trouble Across the Monougahela. County Commissioner Robert E. Mercer was in a depressed mood yesterday. In response to a query as to how the Southside would go he said: "Well, it's a hard matter to tell. I hope it's all right There is considerable disaffection toward the head of the Repuhlicm State ticket on that side of the river. "The Southside is peculiar. It has always lud a large number of voters who sire not easy to control, but who are carried away by a hurrah campaign. Still, I think most of them will net into line by election day. Delamater, however, will be cut" BEENNEN IS CONFIDENT. Be Doesn't Care a Soap About the Kepab licau Majority Against Him. "William J. Breuuen, Esq., is not daunted by the remembrance of the 8,000 majority Congressman Dalzell received at the last election. He said yesterday: "I am all right I propose to make a good fight, and I don't care what majority Mr. Dalzell had last time." Mr. Brennen commences his brass band campaign on the Southside this evening. NO END 0FA ROAST. A SEVERE SCORING FOB DALZELL IAND DELAMATER. Independent Republicans Hold an Enthu siastic Meeting lu the Thirteenth Ward John D. Watson, Esq., Says Delamater Can Sue Emery for Libel Under the Law. The pure air of the hilltops filled the lungs of the Independent Republicans at the meeting held last nightln the Thirteenth ward school house. The chairman was Robert Dalzell and the Secretary was James Devlin. The speakers were John D. Wat son, Esq., and Thomas Patterson, Esq. Mr. Watson started by saying that he had been a Republican all his life and was still in accord with the principles of that party's national platform. In support of that he paid Congressman John Dalzell considera ble attention, and said he was the "largest small man in Congress." Concerning ex-Senator Lewis Emery, ex-Senator Homer J. Humes and ex-Representative Birch, he said he knew them, and their reputa tion for truth and honor were of the best About Captain John Morris, of Mead viile, the speaker said he had goneto school in that city, and knew the old soldier whom George W. Delamater defeated to elect a Democrat Conntv Treasurer, and knew him to have lwavs been a sober, upright and trustworthy citizen, and had never heard him being accused of anything but being a cripple a shattered man. physically. Mr. Watson reviewed Senator Emery's charges against Mr. Delamater bribery, perjury, forcery and unlawfully appropria ting and using State funds, and then read Chief Justice Paxson's opinion in theBriggs versus Garrett case, cited by Republican speakers to show why Emery" could not be convicted of libel. He charged a willful misrepresentation of-Jhe case or else gross ignorance of the English language on the part of those who said that an action for libel did not lie against a man who would "willfully coin a lie andutter it," and said that the attitude of the Republican speakers in first claiming that the "charges were un true," and then asserting that the man who made and uttered them could not be con victed, was a contradiction and an ab surdity. Mr. Pattison spoke of the way in which the present administration bad violated the law in sellingsecuritiesand distributing the sink ing fund among political favorites of Senator Quav. and charged that the one man singled out lor especial monetary consideration of that sort was the self-confessed briber and pardoned convict, Kimble, the henchman and confederate of Mr. Quay. He said Mr. Delamater was a beneficiary under Mr. Quay's will and wasa willful and unscrupu lous violator of both the law and the Con stitution. One of the largest meetings to be held is expected to convene this evening in the Oakland School of the Fourteenth ward, at which Chairman W. S. Blair, of the Inde pendent organization, will preside, and the speakers so far announced are W. S. Pier, Esq., John D. Watson, Esq., and Thomas Patterson, Esq. Mr. Pier spoke to a large gathering of Independents last night at Hazelwood. ANOTHER OPEN LETTER. A Sixth Warder Who Lets People Know Just Where He Stands. The following letter was sent yesterday by Henry A. Scha'er, of the Sixth ward, in response to a notification that he had been appointed a member of the Republican "Vigilance Committee for his ward: PriTSBtJEO, October 24, 1S90. John Grlpp, Esq., Chairman Allegheny County Kcpcbllcan Committee on Organization. Sir It was with considerable surprise and unlimited displeasure that I received your no tice of my appointment on your committee. I can assure you the honor was not solicited by myself nor any of my friends. A few inquires amone your workers in my district would navo enlightened you as to my standing in this fight. 1 would also have you kcow, sir, that I am still a Republican, following the dictation or bis own conscience in this matter. Although it has been my misfortune to be with the weaker side in every political contest In whicb I have taken part, I have never yet been influenced bv offers of money, directly or otherwise, making it use less for any of your workers to again approach me on this subject The balance of your letter is unmistakable evidence of weakness, and if consigned to the waste basket, would do yonr can di date no further harm. Hoping that you will understand that I am a Pattison Republican, this communication will receive the considera tion it deserves. I am respectfully, Henry A. Schafer, Third district Sixth ward, Pittsburg. NOT OUT FOE LUCRE. Sir. Marshall Says He Was Not Offered the Attorney Generalship. Thomas M. Marshall left ior Philadelphia last evening to address an Independent meeting there to-night Speaking of his action in this campaign he said: "To-day a Delamater Republican came to me and said he had it straight that if Pattison was elected I was to be his Attorney General. Now, that is not true. No such conditional offer has been made to me, and I wouldn't accept it under any cir cumstances. It wouldn't pay me more tban 57,000 a year, though that sum could be increased, but I am not a thief. There is not a man in this independent fight who is out for lucre. We couldn't get anything Iroin the Democratic party, and certainly couid expect nothing from the Republicans. "I have nothing personally against Dela mater or Quay, and I pay no attention to Emery's charges. It is honest politics I am after, and the will oi the people must pre vail." THE REPUBLICAN HUL GRINDING. Beaver as Understudy for Delamater Does Not Excite Enthusiasm. "The mill isgrinding"rightalong; the grist is good Republican votes, and the longer the mill grinds the better it is for us," said Mr. William Flinn last evening, as he leaned back in his chair at Republican headquar ters. "There is nothing startling to tell," he continued. "We are going along in a quiet, easy way, and have every reason to be confident of success." The news that Delamater had broken down and that Governor Beaver would fill his engagements did not appear to fill the Republican leaders with unalloyed pleas ure. Chief Brown would say nothing on the subject he simply retired within himself, as it were, and seemed dissatisfied tith his surroundings. Several other persons pres ent were approached upon the probable effect of Understudy Beaver upon his audiences, but they remained silent and sad. NO OFFICIAL SIGNIFICANCE. Master Workman Powderly Issues a Circu lar on Dewey's Utterances. Master Workman Powderly has issued a circular in which he states the Dewey cir cular, indorsing Delamater, has no official significance. Mr. Powderly says that Mr. Dewey is not Permanent Chairman of the Pennsyl vania State Legislative Assembly, as there is no such body in existence, and that what ever statement Dewey may have made in regard to the present campaign must be re garded simply as the utterances of a private citizen. WHITE NOT OVEB-CONFTDENT. His Democratic Opponent is Very Popular With People in the District S. P. White, who is the Quay candidate in the Beaver-Washington Congressional district triangular fight, was in the city yes terday. He did not talk in a very confident man ner, and a acknowledged that Dunlap, the Democratic candidate, who is expected to win owing to two Republican candidates being in the field, was a very popular man. Foley Is for Pattison. Patrick Foley, the well-known local Democrat, feels hurt by a rumor that be is for Delamater. Mr. Foley says: "I am for Pattison first, last and all the time. I was with his party two days in Washington county, and I want to tell yon, one thing I know Delamater isn't in it he never had a show." V GOOD NEWS FOR INDEPENDENTS. APhlladelphian Talks of Fattlsonra Strength in the East A rousing big meeting was held at the headquarters of the County Democracy last night Charles F. McKenna was the first speaker and presented the issues of the campaign in a convincing manner. George Hoffman. Councilman from the Fourth ward, Philadelphia, followed. He said he had just been through 11 counties of the State, and brought glad tidings' to 'the Pattison supporters in Pittsburg. "If the State Democracy would but hold its own, there was no doubt but that the anti-Quay element was strong enough to help elect Pattison with a good majority. Ho placed Delaware. Lackawanna. Luzerne. Montour, Lehigh and Lancaster counties all in the Pattison column. D. J. McCarthy, a coal miner from Lu zerne county, followed with figures showing how, if'every Democrat would come out and vote for Pattison, he would be elected sure. J. F. Miller, a law student, made his maiden speech, a fierce tirade against boss rule, and his eloquence won him applause and a place on Candidate Brennen's staff for this evening. - E. Z. Smith ind W. J. BrennCn were the closing speakers. BEAVER REPUBLICANS RESTTVE. The Independents Asked to Do Mission Work in the Country. Chairman Blair, of the Independent Re publican County Committee, was visited yesterday by a member of the Republican Executive Committee of Beaver county. The latter gentleman is a trifle too shy, under existing circumstances, to allow his name to be published. Nevertheless, he made an earnest plea for an Independent Republican mass meeting at Beaver, to be addressed bv Senator Emery and T. M. Marshall, Esq. The call for the meeting is signed by J. D. Perrott, Dr. G. T. Mc Phinn, A. E. McDonald, J. M. Thoraily G. M. Waretrond, D. Ellis, Dr. O. H. Franklin. L. J. Wnguer, W. T. Hoover, J. B. Ewing. W. C. Fessenden, T. B.Sinar gan, J. W. McDowell. W. G. Carroll, A. H. Pangburn, G. C. Wareham, Colouel. D. D. Lloyd, V. J. Eikin, J. E. Swift, Rev. M. J. Sleppv, F. L. Banks and F. P. Welsh. The gentleman from Bearer insists that Senator Quay will receive a severe .rebuke iu his own county. He states that this will come in the lorm of a heavy cut upon Richard Quay's vote for Legislature, and a determined attack upon Mr. Delamater. HOPE FOR 1TD0WELL. Mr. Jackson Thinks Phillips Can't Cany Lawrence County. Ex-Congressman Oscar L. Jackson, of New Castle, was at the Monongahela House for a short time last evening. He thinks that McDowell will carry his district tor Congress. Mr. Phillips, he says, has opened headquarters in New Castle, employs a force of clerks which is something new in Congressional fights but he does not be lieve he can carry Lawrence county. He wants to know why Mr Phillips does not take the stump for Pattispn, as he said he would early in the campaign SHERMAN IS COMING. The Grizzled Ohio Senator Will be Here at Noon To-Day. Senator Sherman has written to the Re publican Committee that he will be here at noon to-day.

Councilman John Dunn, Jr..-of tbe Sixth ward, has announced himself a candidate for the Legislature from the Third district He expects the support of his Democratic constituents. HUNG HIMSELF IN FUN. Bull White Nearly Takes His Life in a Cen tral Station Celt William White, better known as "Bull" White, created quite a sensation at Central station last night by pretending to commit suicide by hanging and coming very near being more successful tban he intended. White has been on a big spree for some time He was arrested yesterday afternoon for drnnkenness. About 7:30 o'clock last evening Sergeant Gray was called. by an other prisoner, who said that White was try ing to hang himself. White was found on the bench in his cell, and had tied a neck scarf around a top bar and was tying the other end around his neck. He was placed in another cell, and a few minutes later another prisoner raised tbe same alarm. This time White had succeeded in hang ing himself in fact, the scarf being stronger than he thought, and when Serceants Gray and Metz got to him he wan' hansing and almost strangled. They quickly cut him down. He was terribly "frightened - and thanked the Sergeants profusely, saying he had been only joking. CASES FOB THE C0E0NEB.

Other Subjects Discussed at Yesterday's Sessions of the Convention. MANX PERTINENT QUERIES ANSWERED Though the second day of the American Inter-Seminary Alliance Convention, like its predecessor, dawned dark and dreary, that fact did not interfere with the full at tendance of all delegates. The ardor with which these missionary workers 'discussed the ways and means of carrying salvation to nil people served to dispel the gloom and make the auditors forget the workings of the elements outside. Devotional meeting was held at 9 o'clock in the morning. -The first paper, "The Na ture and Demands of the Frontier Work,"; was read by P. W. Longfellow, of Morgan Park. He reviewed, in 'a bright and inter esting manner, mission work in the "Wild "West." "The three elements we have mostly to contend against," said he, "are the rum shop, Sabbath breaking and the teachings of an antagonistic church." These "obstacles" were reviewed at length, and the requisites necessary to prosecute the work mapped out Discussion of tbe sub ject followed, and in turn, the routine work .occupied the attention of the convention. WOBK OP THE AFTERNOON. The first paper read at the afternoon session was by T. W. McCormick on "Should Churches and Sabbath Schools Support Their Own Missionaries.'" The paper favored all churches, or a combiuation of churches, supporting a missionary in addi tion to swelling tbe regular church mission ary lund. The discussion that lollowed was participated in by Messrs. R. P. Wilder, Union Seminary; B. W. Marsh, Garrett Biblical Institute; B. J. Chew, Boston, and J. L. Marquis, ot McGormick. The speak ers all agreed in the main with Mr. Mc Cormick. "City Mission Work" was the subject of Rev. D. A. Reed's address. It was bright and abounded in thoughtful observations and suggestions. Mission work in the cities, he said, was not as effective as it should be. owing to a division of effort among sects and societies, such as the different church move ments, the Y. M. C. A., Salvation Army, etc., etc. "Forty per cent of the population of cities is outside of the church," said the speaker. "What we should have is a union move ment Denominational lines should be cast aside, and all Christian workers join in cap turing the cities for Christ "Centralization is the sign of the times. Capitalists combine to obtain better results and larger profits. Why should not the Christian workers centralize their efforts to save sinners? 'Twould be a better invest ment of eflort than by present methods. Men want to deal with things in this age in a business way. I would to God Christians would do it. HOW IT IS DONE IN NET YOBK. "The Episcopalians of New York have the whole city divided into districts tor the pur pose of evangelical work, and the plan is working well. Let there be a union move ment, and let the cities be divided into districts. Let all Christians, of whatever creed or movement, join in the work and save the sinners. Canvass the cities and reach all classes and races. If this cannot be done, use 'group methods.' Divide the work among the churches and societies. Let the converts go to whichever church they will, but first look after their souls. And above all, look after the rich as well as the poor. We need the support of the wealthy. Church people .ire making yearly from $400,000,000 to S500.000.000. The world must be wou and we need the support of these moneyed men as well as the mite of the poor. I tell you, we must cut these millionaires to the heart, and show them what a grand investment is open to them." After closing his address Rev. Dr. Reed answered tbe queries in the question box. A few are appended, with his answers, in condensed form: What is the best plan for house-to-house visi tation? Must understand human nature. What should the missionary worker look after first the poor man's spiritual or temporal wantsT Religion on an empty stomach doesn't diccst well. What is the first step in tbe mission work of a city of 0,000 population? study well tbe field and ask tbe Lord. "WORK IN THE SLUMS. How can you get hold of street gamins? Organize boys' clubs. They have Been estab lished throughout New England and have been very successful. Found clubs in different sec tions. Get rooms cheerfully furnished and surround tbe boys with an atmosphere of Christianity that will appeal to tneir natures and leave a more lasting impression than ser mons or bare word. How can boys trom 10 to IS years be reached? The Sunday school teachers should do good work. Do you favor police protection at mission meetings? It is well, if disorder cannot be quelled otherwise, but the McCall method is better. A youneladyis stationed on tbe out side to pilot people in and distribute tracts, and another is inside, if a person attempts disorder tbe young lady inside iroes to him and asks him to desist A lady with tact is better tban a policeman. Do you find the lack of unity among Protes tants an element of weakness? Yes, centrali zation is needed. How about the permanency of city mission work? Depends a good deal on the character of tbe work. Can ladies work among the slums success fully? 1'es; they can reach people men cannot What one thing most separates tbe masses from the church? Inteiuporance. How can the young men in cities be induced to attend cburcn? Every young man generally bas a friend who is a church memher; let the church members be true to the cross. TALKS OF THE EVENING. The evening session, held in the First Presbyterian Church, was well attended. The Rev. Dr. McAllister was the first speaker. His subject was: "The National Bearing oi the Great Commission." The commission in question was that based on the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ as mediator, who said: "Go you, therelore, and preach to all nations." "This com mand," he said, "covers national duty, but as you cannot baptise a nation, vou must take it figuratively, and it then means you must individualize. It means that each must take part iu all of the great national issues. His precepts shall be re garded in the national life as well as in tbe individual. life. There need be no union of Church and State, but the ministers sbouid utter the law and the nation apply the law. This would bring about a condition ol af fairs that has never been known beiore, and a state in the Church that has never .been equaled." The Rev. George T. Purves followed Dr. McAllister. "To what purpose is this waste? was the question" Dr. Purves said, "which is being asked. The question was asked by Agrippa concerning Paul, who, he said, was wasting his life in a vain enter prise since the day loreign mission started on its grand mission, the same question has been asked. What is the purpose of this waste of money and men, especially when there are demands. at home. This is the question whicb is met everywhere and must be answered. Doubt is the knife that cuts the nerve- of missionary effort, and the only thing on which it cau stand as a rock' is conviction. There is no hope for it until every man understands that there is no waste." CHRISTIANITY MUST BE ABSOLUTE. Continuing, 'Rev. Dr. Purves said: "An obedient sacrifice to tbe command of God cannot be waste. The command is: Christian ity must be absolute. The ideality of missions is needed by Christianity in order that she may do her work at home." Further he spoke of what has been accomplished by missionary work. There are 400,000 native Christians in India; 30,000 in China; 25.000 in Japan, 70,000 in Madagascar and 175,000 in Africa. "What are your 6,000 men and your millions of money if hundreds of thousands of human beings are brought to be saved. Is it waste?" Further, he said that schools have been established and the voung taupht and Christian literature distributed in many tongues, and the heathen world has been undermined. "Is it waste?" he asked in conclusion. The Rev. W. H. McMillen, of Allegheny, was the next speaker. "New Departures in Missionary Work" was hi subject He re ferred to the condition of affairs 100 years ago, when the church could not understand the work of evangelizing the world. The question, "Am I My Brother's Keeper?" said he, "was practically answered in the negative. In the last century they have be gun to learn. Tbe skepticism or 100 years ago has been confounded by the successes achieved." He reviewed, what has been ac complished in India, China, Japan, Africa, Ceylon, Java, Australia and tbe South Sea Islands. Continuing, he said that they needed a deeper sense of personal re sponsibility. In the Church as elsewhere, they must do the work themselves and not leave it to hired laborers. They all need more of the spirit of the Holy Ghost and less of the feelinc, "Touch me not, 1 am holier than thou." They all should know that Jehovah marches before and they should follow. A number of Interesting papers will be read at to-day's session in the Fourth U. P. Church, Allegheny. AS MUCH WIFE AS EVER. A Pittsburger Who Has No Faith In the Professions of the Mormons. Mr. Harding Kimberland, of Kimber land & Co., who lately got married, and, with his wife, made a tour of the Territories and the Pacific slope, spent considerable of his time in Salt Lake City, inthe study of the polygamy question not that he wanted any more wives, but because he was inter ested in the study of the question, stimu lated by reading a history of Joe Smith's latter-day revelation and the part played in the founding of the Mormon hierarchy by Sydney,Rigdon, a proselyte from the Chris tian, or, as it was then generally styled, Campbelhte church. Like Artemus Ward, Mr. Kimberland carried his investigations into the back yards, and counted the number of pairs of long stockings on tbe wash-lines, and is con vinced that the professed renunciation of polygamv is a sham, and only acted to se cure the admission of the Territory as a State. He thinks there is substantially as much wife as ever in Salt Lake City. LONGEVITY on the Bench Is Frank G. Carpenter's subject for Ills weekly letter in THE DISPATCH to-morrow.

Clubs Not Tolerated at Klebers' Music Store, 506 Wood Street The pianos and organs sold by H. Kleber & Bro. are too good and artistic to be operated by means of clubs.

Lonis Arlington Addresses the Green Bottle Blowers on His CHERISHED CO-OPERATIVE PLAH, Bat They Decline to Receive it Favorably, and Stop Supplies. BASTERH STRIKERS TO KETDRN TO WORK National District Master Workman Louis Arrington came into town with tbe air of a conqueror yesterdry, and leaves it again very much defeated, indeed. He ad dressed the members of Local Assembly 6111, last evening, in support of his co operative scheme; iu defense of his "Eastern policy," and with the intention of retaining some of his fast-fleeting prestige as a leader, but without avail. He took exception to the statement that appeared in Wednesday's Dispatch regarding the condition of the trade, on the ground that his neighbors were speaking about him, but he did not contradict it He asked the as sembly to have some contridiction made, and the members, knowing very well the statements were true, out of sympathy for Mr. Arrington's feelings, appointed a com mittee for that purpose. The National District Master Workman tried to resist a demand made that be should try to bring about some understanding with tbe flints, whereby the latter would agree to use some of the unemployed green blowers, but unsuccessfully. A HIGHLY IMPORTANT MEETING. The meeting last night was one of the most important held for some time in the local assembly. It was known that Louis Arrington would try to carry his point as usual, anO there iras a good attendance in consequence. Arrington's first effort was in the direction of attempting to carry his co-operative plans, but the members bad been thinking a little lor themselves regarding the advis ability of any such plan in the present con dition of affairs, and were unmoved by bis arguments. He is reported as attempting to get tbe members to accept it, but so far from indorsing it, a resolution was actually passed, in his presence, reaffirming the de cision arrived at at the previous meeting. This was that it was ill-advised, and that no more assessments sbouid be raised for the purpose. A regular protest regarding it will be sent to the National District Master Workman and tbe Executive Board will say what shall be done with the money already raised. This was Arrington's first repulse. Repulse number two followed very rap idly on Arrington's attempting to vindicate his action regarding the strike in the East In this action he practically followed his own judgment, as for some time past the sentiment against pursuing tbe strike has been unanimous and strong. He last nigbt tried to show that his policy in keeping out the men was the proper one, bnt was obliged to come down to the common sense view of the matter taken by the members. SOME THINGS REMEMBERED BY ALL. They remembered that 22 factories bad been added to the non-union list since his assumption to office; that the Eastern non union blowers were pretty nearly able to compete with tbem, and that tbe strike as sessment ol 5 per cent was a tax they were carrying without any visible result or bene fit, either to themselves or the strikers. They expressed the opinion that tbe strike should be called off, and passed a resolution to that effect, to be forwarded for action through the proper channel. The unkiudest cut of all was in the reso lution which followed, declaring that the strike fund now raised should be withheld until some report as to what bad been done with the money raised since the beginning ot the fire should ,be received. No such report has been received and naturally some desire was ex pressed to know where their earnings were going. The secretary is paid $1,400 for this and similar purposes, but he had fur nished no report. This brought Mr. Ar rington from his high horse. He then pro ceeded to rcrer to the statement in yester day's Dispatch. Hesiid that his friends and neighbors were commenting on it, and, in fact, he didn't like it. He did not, how ever, say that it was not true. He asked the assembly to take some action ou it and contradict it. Out of sympathy for him, it is said, a committee was appointed to make some contradiction. some disaffection admitted. The committee met a representative of The Dispatch, and stated that the assem bly had delegated then: to call at The Dis patch office and say that "6111 disclaimed all responsibility for the article in The Dispatch." Questioned further, the com mittee would not make any stronger con tradiction, and a member said that while Mr. Arrington would not be impeached, there certainly was disaffection in the order. Finally Mr. Arrington said that if the assembly thought he was incapable of at tending to their interests he would surrender his position then and there. Subsequently a resolution was passed demanding that the national officers should enter into commu nication with the flints so that some of their surplus men could find work in their shops. There are at present over 150 green glass men working in flint shops. One way or another the green blowers have been paying a monthly tax of from $5 to $7 50, and they have about concluded they had paid it long enough. NEW OFFICE CREATED. A. B. Youngson, of Meadvllle, Elected as Assistant to Grand Chief Arthur. At yesterday's session of the engineers' convention a new office was created by the election of A. B. Youngson, of Meadville, to the position of Assistant Grand Chief Engineer. Mr. Youngson is Chairman of the Erie division. The election of officers in succession to those whose time expires was not proceeded with. The Petition Committee of the National American Woman's Suffr.tge Association, which had laid a resolution seeking to ob tain the indorsement of that convention be fore that body, appeared for an answer. No action h.id been taken on it. Mr. Max Nathan, ol New York, addressed the con vention in a speech eulogistic of the Brotherhood.

OLIVER, John KInzler Gets a Letter and Orders to Take Care of His Family. Another White Cap story has been sprnng, and this time it comes from tbe Southside. John Kinzler, who resides at No. 137 Wash ington avenue, Mt Oliver, called at Alder man Hartnian's office, last evening', and stated he had received a letter signed by tbe secretary of a band of White Caps. Kinzler had the letter with him and left it in the hands of the Alderman. It bad been mailed on or about October 21, and had been post marked at the Southside station, at 6 o'clock last Tuesday evening. In the letter Mr. Kinzler is accused of abusing bis family, and is threatened with severe punishment if he does not give his wife and children better treatment. Mr. Kinzler stated to the Alderman that he was at a loss to know why such a letter should be addressed to him, as he always had provided for his family. Mrs. Kinzler says she is astonished' tb.it anyone sbouid send such a letter to her husband. Kinzler has a wife and four children to take care of, and after being assured that he would be protected from any attacks made by the alleged White Caps, he returned home. PLEASES MANY PEOPLE. A Yerdict Against Two Policemen Meets With General ApprovaL There is an immense amount of quiet sat isfaction expressed at the result ol the suit of J. R. Meredith against Police Officers Alex. Bovard and Andrew Scott, giving him $62 damages for false arrest for demand ing the number of an officer when pushed into the gutter by him, at the corner of Fourth avenue and Smithfield street Many people say thht, while thev have a high respect for an officer in the discharge of his legitimate duty, there are men "dressed in a little brief authority" who seem to feel that civilians have no rights policemen are pound to respect Gratification is also expressed that dam ages awarded were small, but at the same time large enough to teach the martinets a wholesome lesson. This opinion is expressed without regard to the merits or demerits of the case in point, but as to its effects in a general way. KUDYARD KIPLING has written a fasci nating Serial.

Lieutenant Jim Watson fell lrom a heavily laden wagon, and thongh he now goes on crutches, he is comparatively well satisfied. The mud was so deep that Mr. Watson was pressed down right to the smothering point, but the stiffness of the saturated aluminum broke the shock.
