Pitt Council No. 220, Jr. O. IT. A. SI. came to The Dispatch office with the circulars in their hands. They protested vigorously against the attempt to bring the American Mechanics into politics, asserting that such pction was contrary to the constitution and principles o: the order. They stated very positively that there were traitors in the or ganization, and said that was shown by the fact that Mr. Delamater's managers had ob tained possession of the addresses of all the members in the order. TEEAC1IEKY IN THE ORGANIZATION'. These, they say, could only have been secured through the secretaries of the councils, and on a plea and through such channels as would lead the officers to be lieve that the information was being fur nished lor "the cood ot the order." The gentlemen concluded that they proposed to show their independence and disapproval of such methods to secure votes by casting their ballots for Mr. Pattison on Tuesday, although both of them had been for Dela mater, the affiliations of one of the gentle men inclining him strongly in that direc tion. Several more American Mechanics dropped in, showed the circulars and made substantially the same statements. Finally a member of Monongahela Council, Cralton, came in. He had not recened a circular through the mails, but had been shown them. He said he had been a strong open Pattison man from the beginning of the campaign, and be supposed that was the reason he was slighted. He also protested sgaiust making a political organization out of the Jr. O. U. A. SI., a lion-partisanbody. Mr. Daniel Nulton, of Kittanning, sou of the late .Tudge Nulton, and Mr. H.

COLORED DEMOCRATS HELD A MEETING LAST NIGHT ATLAFAY ETTE HALL Speedier by "Well-Known Loral Colored Men and One Oliioan Thej saj That it Is About Time for Another Declaration of Independence. The Barclay Colored Democratic Club held a meeting at Lafayette Hall last night to discuss reasons why its members should be Democrats and vote for Pattison. The American Cornet Band, colored, was in at tendance and furnished music and several speeches were made. Walte- Brown was President of the meet ing and the follow ing were Vice Presidents: Thaddeus Slurry, James Slanks, D. S. Sla boney, SI. Stranthos, Thomas Houck, Thomas Wilson, 11.

In accepting the position of Chairman of the meeting, Walter Brown said: We arc doing a good action in coming out and a&sting 111 the flection ot Robert E. I'atti Eon as Governor. Applause. But before I goanv further I want to sav a word for a friend. I riendMnp is all in all in this world, and I must no' forget my friend v. J. Brennen. Applause. He is a friend to ever) colored man. We admit a certain amount of gratitude to the Republican party, but the time for grati tude is pvt when we should stick to them merely for gratitude. We can't tlank of the pa-t, bat must take care of the future. We ii.ie leached that degree of intelligence that c hae written outa new Declaration of In dependence, that w e shall be free in thought and fiee in speech. Applause. Daniel "Washington, secretary of the Barclay Club, was introduced and made quite an interesting talk, and told an ap propriate story Once iu the South a man and his colored servant went out hunting, and a liocic u. ducks was shot into. Three were killed aud two lamed. The servant started alter the dead ones, and his master told him to secure tlu: lame ones before they got awaj. Tne speakersaid thelicpublican party considered the colored men "dead lucks" and paid no attention them, but looked after the other votes, thinking that the negroes would oteaIi right anyway. But they are mistaken this year, added the speaker. Thomas AYilsou, the next speaker, made a strong argument in favor of the colored men becoming independent. Hon. "W. H. Hol land, of Springfield, O., followed in an ad dress in winch he said the Republicans had workid against the negroes in voting down A11: ic Blair educational bill, which aimed to educate the colored man and make him in tellectually the equal of the white. Captain S. J. "Wilkinson said, when in troduced: "I never was a slave and never wore a collar, and I never will wear Quay's collar." He continued in an address on the questions of the campaign, and said that there are colored men in Allegheny county who will vote for Pattison, but who are afraid to come out and show their colors. "William Hanger began his spreech with the declaration: "I am a Democrat," which brought out the applause ol the house. He then talked of the rapid increase of the colored Democrats. The last speaker was J. Fields. HIS FOURTH CHOICE. STILL MILES S. HUMPHRIES IS FOR MR. DELAMATER. Republican Rallj at Braddock A Good Dinner T)claj Starters nastlngs Talks on the Tariff His Appeal to the Inde pendents Muic, Singing and Dancing. TI10 Republicans of Braddock wound up tbe campaign last night in a mixed blaze of glory, red fire and Americanism. They lield their meeting in the rink, and had re served seats lor ladies and the Americus Club. For some reason not generally un derstood, but supposed to consist in a dinner given by Sir. "William Lapsley, chair man of the meeting, the hour wai well on to 10 o'clock before the speakers armed at the rink, but a brass baud played "Bally Bound the Flag" and other patriotic airs, and kept the audience in good humor. The managers bad the satisfaction of knowing that though there had been larger .Republican meetings in Braddock, they had last night a big representation of Independents and Demo crats, who heard the political gospel ac cording to Humphries and Hastings. The distinction iu, the attendance was, iu the main, as distinctly marked a are the waters of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers just above their con fluence; Bcpublicans in front nud the oppo sition in the rear as shown by the wave lines of applause. Some over-plumb Democrat kicked up a little row in the rear at one time and got himself ejected for his trouble. Hon. Sliles S. Humphries spoke first. He said there had been no attempt at argnment offered bv the Democracv except by ex-Senator "Wallace. The plat form was made up of vituperation. In conclusion Sir. Humphries switched off onto the tariff question and said that in what Democrats demanded home rule, self government and clean politics the Repub licans added, "and a home market" He defended Quay as a consistent Republican, and said the Independents were political mermaids, and that while Montootb? Stone and Hastings were all ahead of Dela matcr had he had his choice, yet 30 j ears' service in the party secured his fidelity to Delamater. ,, Chairman Lapsley, in introducing Gen eral Hastings, congratulated the meeting that "he had not sulked in his tent because passed over for Delamater. General Hast ings reviewed the past of the Democratic party bricflv and then branched offonto na tional issues and discnsed the veto of tbe soldiers' bnrial bill by Pattison, silver coin age and the tariff, and wound up by an ap peal to the Independents, begging them not to stay out of the fold until forced to come back like Little Bo-peep's sheep. At the station a Grand Army band played an air, to which the Americus Club danced a largely multiplied Prench-tour. On the train speech-making and campaign songs, the latter by one of tbe Don Cameron Club, were the features. ONE MORE APPEAL TO VOTERS, MADE BY THE LOCAL INDE PENDENTS. The Issues of the Campaign Kevlewed Pnt titon Considered a Bettor Candidate Than He Was In 1882 History of Hie Past Cight Tears. The local Independent Bepublican organ ization lait evening issued the following as its final appeal to voters: To the Voters or Allegheny County: On the eve of the election we beg to review briefly the history of the campaign. The issue tendered by the platform of the Republican party, of the ratification of tho character of Sir. Quay, has been abandoned, and no attempt has been made to answer or ex plain the grave charges against bim. Mr. Delamater, while dening in general terms the Emery charges, has furnished no sat isfactory replj to them, nor accepted the offer publicly made bv his responsible accusers to judicially investigate the truth of their charges. As to the fact of bis use of State moneys in bis bank, nionevs realized from the sale of Govern ment bondsin which the sinkincfund baa been invested under Governor Paulson's direction, be has made only the answer tint the provl sions of the Constitution prohibiting him as State Senator from making profit out of the public moneys had never been carried into effect by Lcgislatire action. There has been no attempt to fairly meet tbe questions involved in tbe ntness, ability and integrity of the Republican candidate for Gov ernor. "Instead, you have been hurried past these questions to a discussien of the tariff. Every effort has been made to trick the public into a false issue and a different issue than that really presented. The consistency and fairness of the followers of the National Chairman in thus endo ivoring to inject a national issue into local politics may be tested by reflecting that the machine organs are bitter opponents of some of our ablest and most aistingnisnea nepuuncan congressmen. The eiving of a Congressional place to one of the Democracy far more endangers tbe tariff than tbe electing of an honorable and clean man as Governor of tbe State. We ask you to consider tbe history of the past eight years. The same objections were urged against Sir. Pattison eight years ago that are urged now. The tariff was said to be en dangered then, just as the same statement is made to-day. lou decided to try the experi ment of putting mm into the Governor's chair. Is there any question that that experiment re sulted ell in our State government; Is there any question that it had no evil influence on the tariff or on tho ascendency ot the party in national politics? You are met. uitb the same. question to-day, with the difference that you have tried Sir. Pattison and his record speaks for itseif. Not withstanding, vigorous attempts have been made to besmirch his character, those attempts have recoiled on his detractors and you are met with a spectacle of bossim, of corruption, of defiant refusal to answer tho demands of those interested in fair government, which was unequaled bj anything picsented for jour con sideration in 1SS2. If the pardoner of Kemble is to be vindi cated, if the gentleman who made proht at the State's loss out of the pnhlic funds is to be rewarded by the position of highest officer of tho State, ne ask you whether tbe example thus set will not rise up to curse u? in after years: and whether we can ever hope, with anv show of success, to demand that public office is a public trust, and should be administered in the interest of all the people alike, the poor man as well as the rich; the individual as well as the corporation. With the bosses there is tbe party name, the threats of party vengeance, and the unlimited use of money. With us, there is but the prin ciple of just and fair government by the peo ple's agents, for the people's good. Let no tariff talk mislead vou. Let the party whip fall where it may. Our part is to do our dutv as freemen. Let tbe same spirit which made this country a free land animate the voters on Tuesday and the isuo is in no doubt. William It. Blair, TnonAS Patterson. Chairman. Secretary. BACKING THED2 OPINIONS. A Number of Small Itets Being "Wagered Upon the State Klcctlon. Considerable betting on the election is still being done around town, but tbe amounts are generally small. A number of bets of from $25 to 5150 at evens on the Gu bernatorial election were made last night. In Allegheny one or two bets were made at $100 to SCO on Pattison. One Soutbside man made a bet ot $75 to $25 that Delamater would carry the county. An enthusiastic Democrat asks The Dispatch to mention tbe fact that he would like to bet 50 even that the next Congress is Democratic. Chief Clerk Crosby, of the Hotel Ander son, still holds 6,500 sent him by ex-State Chairman Cooper to bet on Delamater, but which Sir. Cooper afterward telegraphed him to hold back. HE WAS NEUTBAL. A Colored Man Itefusrs to Help Delamater People Out of a Dilemma. Sheriff McCandless toot a Central Trac tion car last night for his home. The straw vote fiend was aboard, and a canvass of the car showed- that Pattison and Delamater partisans were evenly divided. As the car reached Logan street a colored man entered, and all the Delamater men smiled in an ticipation of victory. "When the straw-vote tackled the new comer, the latter replied: "Excuse me, gentlemen, but I am neutral." MTYren THE ENVELOPES. A Republican Mistake "Which "Will Cause a Lobs of Votes for Delamater. A very comical mistake was made by the young men in the employ of the Bepublican Committee in addressing the envelopes con taining arguments in favor of Delamater from Protestant and Catholic standpoints, mention of which was made in Thursday's Dispatch. In some 3,000 of these, circulars were ad dressed to the wrong persons, and there are just about that number of indignant voters in the county to-day.

THEIR PASTOR WAS PRESENT, And Ho Insists it is No One's Business if His People Desire to Engage in finch Amusement. , 0T11EE MINISTERS CONDEMN IT. One Stys the Ycung tidies Onght to be Aii&med of Themselves. The following simple notice appeared in the society column of yesterday's Soutbside edition of The Dispatch: The Sunday school teachers of Pastor Lorch's church held a reception at St. Clair Hall on Tuesday evening, which was as suc cessful as it was unique in its character. Like tbe skirt dance at Boundbrook, K. J., this Sunday school teachers' re fined entertainment seems to have created a regular fnrorc in church circles on the Soutbside. To be a little mors definite about the "reception," according to the members of thp congrega tion who were there, it was attended hy the best people in the congregation, that of a German Evangelical Church, and tbe affair was sanctioned by the dignified presence of the pastor himself. The reception was not made necessary by the church being in financial straits, as.it is said the congregation is out of debt, but the young people in the Sunday school sinmly thought it would be .1 good thing to culti vate a more sociable feeling among the workers and members of the school, and so the reception was arranged for. THE DANCE A PUBLIC 02JE. The affair was not confined to tbe mem bers of the church, either. Each merohrr l was allowed five invitations to give to whom they wished, thus making the dance a pub lic affair. The Gaub Orchestra furnished the sweet music to which the protectors of morals joined, with a large number of tbeir friend, in tripping the regulation old light fantastic until long after midnight. Soft drinks were placed on sale, and were made a special leature of the affair. There was no end to the amount of talk on the Southside, yesterday, when the South side edition of The Dispatch was read. The church people of all denominations united in the assertion that tbe positions occupied by tbe Sunday school teachers, who are responsible, in a measure, for the moral conduct of those under their care, was not one from which would emanate the example that should he set by them. Criticisms were made ireely by church members and others. Rev. P. Brandt, pastor of the Eighteenth Street Lutheran Chnrct, was seen by a Dis patch reporter. He said he did not care to say anything that would antagonize his German friends in the other congregation, but he very emphatically remarked that "tbe business of a Sunday school teacher is to try to emulate the example of Christ, and. when they attend to their duties iu their school they have no time for dancibg." SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED. Hev. J. G. Cameron, rector of St. Mark's Episcopal Church, was also seen. He was of the same opinion as Mr. Brandt. "I don't wish to hurt the feelings of anyone, and I am not criticising this particular dance," said he, "but such an affair would not be tolerated in our church. A private dance is considered within the bounds of lawful amusements, but a public ball is dis carded as being productive of evil results, and especially when given under the auspices of those who are expected to be living ex amples of morality and Christianity. Kev. P. K. Farrand, pastor of the South side Presbyterian Church, was tbe most severe of all, although be had not been aware that the dance was given under the management of the Sunday school teachers. He said: "I have no desire to criticise tbe doings of another church as a denomination. But, in general, the work of a Sabbath-school teacher is second onlv to that of a minister, A minister would soon lose his influence, not only in his own church, but in his com munity as well, were he even to advocate dancing of any kind as a pastime for his church. "The history of dancing is the history of the lowest associations, and has gone hand in hand with that which is vile, as any reader of ancient Egypt, Greece and Borne well knows. Its modern associations are scarcely less reprehensible. Hence the church'has rightly forbidden even its least influential members Jroni indulging in it, and any particular church that will allow those of its members to dance who fill the important and respon sible position of Sabbath school teacher cannot hope to be a factor in aid ot the world's evangelization. To sum up, those teachers who engaged in a public dance ought to be heartily ashamed of them selves." THE VIEW OF THE PASTOR. As was stated, ltev. Mr. Lorch himself was present at the dance, as was also one of bis daughters, who is a teacher in a Sunday1 school. The reporter called to see what the pastor would say in justification of the reception. He relused to say much, except that if Ger man people wanted to dance it was not the business of the English. "I can see no harm in the entertainment," he added. "It is simply a matter of opinion, which my peo ple will settle with their own consciences, without the aid of theoutside public. I would rather not say any more about it. Yon can see my daughter." The reporter, on leaving the bouse, snoke to the daughter, but before he got an ex pression from her the pastor appeared at the head of the stairs and cried out to the young girl: "Es ist besser nichts zu sageu," and she didn't say a word. Two or three members of tbe congregation were seen and they upheld tbe action of tbeir people in relation to the dance. One of the young ladies of the Sunday School said: "I gness if our people want to dance it's nobody's business." Another mem ber, who is a prominent Carson street business man, said: "The dance was all right. There were many of the most prominent people of the Southside present, aud if it had not been approved by our pastor, he would not allow them to hold another, and they are getting ready now for a second reception of the same bind." NOTHING BUT A JOKE. The Corncr-Stono Box of tlio Xew "West minster Church Found. Bev. I. N. Hays, pastor of the congrega tion buildingtthe uew Westminster Church, Allegheny, was considerably concerned, yesterday morning, when he received word that the corner stone laid the day before had been removed snd the box taken -out. In going, over to the church 'property, Bev. Mr.HaVs found the corner stoDe Turned on edge. He bad an idea that the removal of the box was a Halloween joke, and com menced to look around.

"When did you raise your prices?" asked a customer of a waiter at a leading restaur ant in Pittsburg, ns he glanced at his bill and noticed he was paying more for his chops than usual. "A few days ago, sir," was the reply. "I suppose you know the cost of living has gone up. The crops have failed, and the prices of fruits, vegetables of all kinds and meats have advanced." At the cheaner eating houses, where quan tity and not quality is the rule, Hit- rates remain.tue same, DUiine proprietors make up the difference by giving less, "fljie hotels have not chauged their pric.s, 'but they all acknowledge that it costs mire to keep a guest to-day than it did a year ago.

Salesmen and Saleswomen Refuse to Work Until They Receive SHORTER HOURS AND HOLIDAYS. SeYcn Large Stores Carry on Their Busi ness in Chance PashiQn. K LABOK BODY INDORSES BENG0DGH The salesmen and saleswomen in seven of the largest clothing stores were ag good as tbeir word yesterday morning, and remained away from work because their employers would not make them some concessions in shorter hours and in holidays. As this affair threatens to. resolve into a struggle between a section of organized labor and the storekeepers interested, it will be well to recapitulate the demands made. They are, that the stores should close one hour earlier on Saturdays than customary, namely, at 10 o'clock, and tbtt they should remain closed on "Washington's Birthday, Fourth of July, Christmas and New Year's Days. For the past year the salesmen and wo men for there are 35 of the weaker sex in terested in this movement have worked from 7:30 o'clock until 6 o'efoct, with an hour for dinner and supper, on week days; until 11 o'clock on Saturdays and Christmas eve; and have had the six legal holidays as half-holidays, ceasing work at 12 o'clock noon. Of these, they are content that Deco ration and Thanksgiving Days should be half holidays if they are allowed the others in full. HAVE P.EFUSED THE DEMAKDS. These demands have been refused by Kaufmanns', Guskv's, Jackson & Son, the P. C. C. C, Sailer & Co. and Charles Buben. Gnsky'sdid not open at all yesterday. All day long the usual customers came along ana were courrontea with tne notice "Closed" on the door, nnd by the door keeper, who made the best excuses he could under the circumstances. Mr. William DeWolt said last evening, that he had de termined to resist the demand of the sales men. He said that they were now paid tor the half holiday, and his firm could not see the justice of the request for payment for full li&lidays, coupled with the loss of time, and that the store should close an hourearlier on Saturdays. To do that, he argued, would be to turn more of their trade into the hands of the non-union stores. As it was, any observer could ascertain how these stores we're crowded when bis and other union stores were closed, and he would decidedly refuse to sacrifice any more of his tiade in the same direction. He estimated his loss by closing an hour earlier at between $25,000 and $30,000 annually, and this he could not stand. The Pittsburg stores had shorter hours than others in the country. He would be willing to leduce the working hours of his people, if the leaders would compel the other stores to follow suit; not otherwise. At Kituimanns' business was conducted in a haphazard fashion. The wrapping boys and about 18 or 20 relatives of the pro prietors were brought into requisition, and served the customers as rapidly as possible. A salesman at the door let the buyers in in squads, and it was rather amusing to see 30 or 40 people awaiting patiently an oppor tunity of walking in and craving permission to buy from the firm.; TOO BATTLED TO FEEL JOLLY. Sailer & Co. lost their men and did not do much trade with the few hands left them. "When the proprietor was aked for infor mation.he turned on his heel and walked .away. One of his men said he was badly rallied, ana man t leci very jolly. At the other establishments affected busi ness was carried on anyhow, with the aid of uuuiT&iraupers. j)ir. Xbuuen saiu ne nau lost three of his men. He had no objection to making the desired concessions, if the labor leaders would place him on the same footing as the others who were not union, by making them close too. The salesmen issued a circular toward evening calling attention to their position. Messenger boys were buzy at the store cor ners distributing them, and they were eagerly read by interested purchasers. The other stores enjoyed quite a corresponding degree of prosperity Irom the withdrawal of patronage from the union stores. The action of tbe Knights of Labor in forcing this strike is condemned by the con servative organizations. A strong opinion prevails, outside of Knights headquarters, that the salesmen went just a step too far in striking. The leeling holds that thev conld have attained their object as readily by peaceful means. The storekeepers will im port men from other cities to All the places of the strikers. INDORSING THE STEIKE. The Central Trades' Council and Build ing Trades' Council had the salesmen's strike under consideration last night at their respective meetings. The lormer body sent a committee to the latter to confer with them and a committee of the salesmen. The result of the deliberation was that both bodies indorsed the strike. A committee of three members of the Building Trades' Council was appointed to call on the storekeepers to-morrow and no tify them that the salesmen's attitude had the support of the Central Trades' Council and the Building Trades' Council. Circulars will be issued requesting or ganize labor to transfer its patronage from the stores concerned until the matter has been settled. HE. BENG0UGH IND0BSED By the Central Trades Council Action on the Grocers' Plan for Co-Operation. At the usual meetingof the Central Trades Council last eyeuing, the following resolu tions were adopted: "WnEBEAS, The name of Herbert II. Ben gougb lias been presented to the proper officials of the United States Government as a candi date for tho office of Pension Agent of Western Pennsylvania, and Whereas, Recognizing in Mr. Bengongh a stanch and old-time union man who has ever labored zealously for tbe canse of the oppressed workincman; therefore be it Resolved, That the Central Trades Council ot Western Pennsylvania, representing the united toilers of West Pennsylvania, do heart ily indorse the candidacy of Mr. Bengough for tlie office of Ponsion Agent, and urge his ap pointment as a just recognition of an upright union norkingman and Union soldier. Mr. M. P. Carrick resigned as Vice Presi dent of the council, and Mr. Fred Peoco was elected to fill the vacancy. Mr. Charles F. Warde, Secretary, also resigned, owing to business changes, and Mr. Thomas Mc Namiiee was elected to fill the unexpired term. The council unanimously tendered Mr. Warde a vote of thanks for his efficient services as Sicretary. Committees were appointed to act in rela tion to the salesmen's strike, ns elsewhere reported, and a committee was appointed to confer with "the Bctail Grocers' Associa tion on tbe 13th inst. Rumored Difficulty at New Buildings. It was reported last evening that a strike had ensued at the new Government build ing in consequence of a refusal of the con tractors to pay wages until after the elec tions. Inquiry at the Building Trades head quarters failed to elicit any confirmation of the rumor. Doubling: Its Capacity. James B. DeLong, of McKecsport, has purchased the interest of Dr. C. K.

An Accident Fnnd. Joseph Walton's miners have formed an organization, the object of which is to raise an accident fund, the members paying into the fnnd weekly, and if a member is hurt he is financially assisted. ALLEGHENY GAS GOES UP. THE HEATING COMPANY FOLLOWS THE PHILADELPHIA. Fifteen Cents a Thousand Feet to be Charged After the FIrtt of December The People's Company to Take Action This Week. The Allegheng Heating Company has followed in the footsteps of the Philadel- ' phia, and the clerks in the office were busily engaged yesterday in sending out circulars to its customers, informing them that after December 1 the price of gas will he 15 cents per 1,000 feet, net. It was a foregone conclusion that the Al legheny Company would make its rates correspond with those of the Philadelphia, as the gas supplied to its customers is drawn irom the pipes of tbe latter company. There has been a great deal of complaint among residents in certain portions of Alle gheny over the scarcity of gas, especially in the hill districts, where the supply has been very poor for some time. It is now said that there will be plenty, of gas right along, as the pressure i strong aud is likely to con tinue. The officers say that with the com pletion of the Bellevernon main there need 'be no 'urther fear of a shortage, and that then the company may resume lurmshiug gas to the mills. Even with the rosy promises made by the Allegheny Company, many of the residents are not at all sure that the good time will continue. Some people who live in the Second ward, who have been put to the greatest inconvenience by the shortage of gas, say they intend to protest against the bills that will be presented for the last quarter. They do not propose to pay full rates alter all the inconvenience they have been pnt to through no fault of their own, if they can help it. The effect ot the increase, it is believed, will be to drive many nt the consumers back to the nse of coal. When the supplv of gas rau short there was a movement toward returning to coal, and the advance in the price of gas will doubtless lead others in the same direction. It has been no un common thing during the past week to see coai wagons cliiAbing the hills of Alle gheny. The People's Natural Gas Company has as yet taken no action iu regard to raising the price ot gas. Tbe company will hold a meeting this week when it is believed that something definite will be done. Its supply of gas was no better yesterday than it has been ot late. A FOBTUNATE ESCAPE. Two Ladles Tlironn From Their Carriage at tlie Postotlicu Corner. The stupidity of a colored driver nearly caused Mrs. Scaife and another lady serious injury at 5 o'clock yesterday evening, at the Postoffice corner. The ladies were being driven down Fifih avenue in a barouche, which attempted to pass in front of a wagon coming up Smithfield street. The pole of the wagon struck the carriage and over turned it, throwing the occupants forcibly to tbe ground. Officer Charley Grimes ran at once to their assistance, and probably saved them Irom being hurt by the struggling horse. The ladies were not severely injured, and re turned home in another carriage. The driver "was clearly in fault in attempting to cross where there was not room. WILL SOON BE ABBANGED. Fleming Brothers to Resume in a Very Short Time. Mr. John L. Danes stated yesterday that arrangements were on foot looking to the resumption of business by Fleming Brothers, dealers in proprietary medicines, who suspended a few weeks since. It is said that the matter will be arranged with the creditors ot the firm, and all will be finally satisfactorily settled. It will be recollected that Mr. Dawes has a personal interest in the matter. The Rock Island Going Into Trinidad. There is a well-founded rumor that tbe Chicago, Bock Island and Pacific Bailway is to reach Trinidad, Colo., in a few months, in a direct air-line from the East, through Kansas.

Arlhnr, -of Ihe Brotherhood, Credited With I SEEKING PRESiDENTAL H0K0RS. The Assistant Elected to Allow ilim to Go into Active Training AT THK EXHUATION OP A TEAR OR SO The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, it transpired on Friday night, did more than merely discuss routine business at its convention. The delegates had a little polit ical talk, and as a result of which Grand Chief P. M. Arthur is named as a candidate for the Presidental nomination in 1892. Inquiries into the reason for the election of an assistant to the Grand Chief at this juncture brought about this disclosure ot this entirely secret intention, and an ink ling of it was obtained by accident. In the corridor of a hotel several engineers were overheard discussing the probabilities of such a step being successful. For some time efforts to obtain any positive statement regarding the mat ter were unavailing, bnt a short talk with Delegate George Cummings, of Toronto, Canada, settled the matter. Mr. Cummings remarked that "the reason for tbe election ot an assistant to the Grand Chief was to enable Grand Chief Arthur to retire at the end of a year, and go into ac tive training for the Presdency." " Subsequently, Delegate Bowland, of Ossawottoiuie, remarked that Arthur would have the support of 80,000 railroad men. Other delegates to whom tbe subject of Mr. Arthur's Presidental ambition was broached, did not betray any surprise at the suggestion, but were chary of expressing any comment on it. f Color is lent to the story by the recent action of the convention on the question of federation with other railroad organizations. The authorization given by the couvention to the policy of system organization can but bring the entire railroad organizations into greater harmony, and it is regarded as very probable that railroaders would give Mr. Arthur strong support. Co-operation be tween the Grand Chief and Chauncey Depew ou a political i-sne is also regarded as a like ly occurrence, for while the latter may have doubts of the possibility of his being raised to the Presidental chair, he mar find an al liance with the Chief of the Brotherhood very serviceable to his ends. The friend ship of the two men is well known. A. B. Youngsen, of Meadville, this State, who has been appointed as Assistant Grand Chief, is a man likely to continue the policy inaugurated by Mr. Arthur, and he is said to be a man who would fall into his shoes without any friction from within the organi zation. AX OPEJT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT From Some of the "M'estinghonse Forces. Strange as it may seem many of tbe em ployes of the Westmghouse Airbrake Com pany wanted more time,nndthey got it. This demand was not for an increase of working hours, however, but for fine gold time pieces, and they were accommodated to their hearts' content and delight by Henry Ter heyden, the well-known Smithfield street jeweler, as the following clearly proves: To the l'nhlic: With pleasure we, the undersigned, do hereby attest that the ladies' and gentle men's gold watches furnished our club by Mr. Henry Terneyden, 530 Smithfield street, have given entire and unequivocal satisfaction. Out of 180 watches furnished to as many persons, there were bnt two that were not perfect and this was owing to faulty movements which, however, were im mediately replaced bv others. Grateful for such excellent servicewe deem it no more than our duty in making this open ac knowledgement and recommending Mr. Terheyden to our many friends, and the public in general, who may be iu need of watches or jewelry.
