OVER IN ALLEGHENY
THE CONCITION OF POLITICAL AFFAIRS IS
VERY MUCH MIXED.
Mayor Wjman j, Tliat lie Knows Xotli-
ing About Collections for Camjiaign
lurioMi& Kciublicans Who Are Openly
"Working for Hie IZlcction of lilttion.
On the eve of ejection the politicians of
Allegheny were iu an eic td frame of
mind. The leading Kepublicans, while
they were sanguine of carryini the city for
the State ticket, were just a little in doubt
as to how much Delamater's majority misrht
Tic, Xme dL-pated the fact that the head of
the Republican ticket would win in the town,
lint tbey all granted that It would be by a
greatly reduced majority.
There 'iavc been nianj rumors in Allegheny
totiiceilcc That Mayor Wj man lud in his
jiOseb.sioa SI.O'iO collected for campaign pur
Jioscs, and tb it he ha rclused to account for
Ihatsunito the w..rd luanajrers. When the
Siayor was asi.eu about it he became indignant
and'es'-laimed. "I don't know what you mean,
Mr.' When ai;nu afcked, and the question was
put to him nicely, he reiterated that ho did not
Jainw what was meant.
"Now. that is all nonsense," remarked one of
tbe Mayor's friends. "Maor Wyraan has in
lii- uos'cs-ion not only 3.000, but he has prob
Blil S15.WH). What is he going to do with itf
Well, ihere is no doubt that he has put it to
the best Uf c You must unders and that it re
quires money to run a campaign in this town.
As tiie custodian of this land lie has a perfect
rignt to do as he pleases. He has, no doubt,
used the money where it will do the most
good." r
INSIGKAM WAItD "W OIIKERS
There w ere four meetings held in Allegheny
last night of those who propose to cnt the head
of the Republican State ticket. Those who at
tended were Republicans and the majority
were ward w orkers. While they would express
no opinion to outsiders their action showed
that they were not going cut of their way to
help Mr. Delainater.
The moat linpoitant of these meetings was
held in the office of Alderman Braun. It was
xesolred to support John M. 2eeb for .State
J-enatnr and Alexander Wilson for County
Commissioner.
Just as the meciingwas about to adjourn, a
resolution was offered pledging the support of
those present to Delauiatcr, but it was tabled
without discuscion.
Jlayor j man yesterday sent out the new
bsllot boi.es for the To precinct, the old boxes
being tied up in court over the contest with
ta5tou. The Major said that while he was a
Republican anil would vote for Delamater, he
was satishcd that therewas great need for a
third part. ".Ntit," said lie. "such a third
party as has been uevelupid m this campaign.
Theic is no room for a sour grape partv. It
Ehould be a pai ty that Democrats and Republi
cans could support. That is what 13 wanted
mid that is what will come. Personally I know
little of politics iu Allegliem, as 1 keep close to
my work hcie. The sentiment is towards Del
aoiater, but ou can't tell anything about it
until to-morrow."
STILL VEET COXFIDEKT.
In speaking of bets, the Mayor grew enthusi
astic "Why," said he, "I kro a Republican
who offered to wager S100 to S60tnat Delamater
w ould carry the county, and the bet was re
fused. If the election had been held two
weeks ago there is no doubt that Delamater
v ould have been chosen by .1 great majority.
But lie will be elected be) oml a doubt."
One of the bet-knonu Republican in official
position 111 Alleghenj said yesterday that be
was aware of the fact that theie were to ue
ju.im repeaters in Allegheny to-day. "I don't
want my name used, as ou can easily imagine,"
Slid he, "but you can rest assured that while
Allegheny is going Republican, the n.ajority
for Delamater will be increased by tbe aid of
lepeateis. Repeaters have bien colonized in
this city, and there is no Republican boss who
Ooes not know i'. Down in the First, Third,
beventb. inth. Sixth and Fifth wards there is
a gang. numbering about 3d. who have been
drilled in the work they are to do."
"Ihe Democratic County Committee." said
this gentleman, "are fully awaie of the fact,
!ndt!iey have made arrangements to catch
those fellow sin the First ward who will at
s empt to reneat." All of these crooks, he said,
weiefrom fittsburg. He believed that Dela
mater would carry the city, but by a greatly re
duced majority.
Tor 1'attlson by Three to One.
As organization called the Republican Labor
JL, aj,Tic, cviap sed ofemplcycs of the Westing;
house Electric Works, Garrison alley, have
been claiming that all the men wero solid for
fattison. Some objections were raised to this
estimate, and a vote of the employes was
taken, which resuled, Fattison, 520; Delamater,
180.
THEIR PARTING SHOT.
REPUBLICAN SPEAKERS TURN TO FIRE
ANOTHER VOLLEY
Beroro the Battle of the Ballots Begins To
Day in Allegheny County Kloqnent
Addresses to a Small Crowd at Old City
Hall.
If empty chairs could only cheer, what
au enthusiasm the Republican orators might
have awakened at Old City Hall last night!
But they couldn't, and it remained for the
little handful of men and boys to furnish the
applause to keep the balla-rolling.
There sat that little army of 200 patriots!
From the window on every hand could be seen
the red fire of the evening, and the closed doors
could not keep out the stirring music of the
baud of tjie besiegers. Cheer after cheer could
be heard on the outside. As a truthful
chronicle of tacts, this story would not be com
plete without picturing the countless number
who followed the brass baud countless be
cause they left so rapidly that it was impossible
to count them. But the orators remained man
lully at their tasks, and poured forth consola
tion to those who remained. One colored man
became inspired by the remarks of Chairman
Porter, and arose to say a word. "Put him
out!"' from every part of the house where there
were people, the cry was heard, and the col
ored brother had to go, the policeman who
escorted him to the door remarking that he had
made a vote for Pattison.
ASOTIIEK MAN IN BLUE.
Later on, while the Hon. Miles Humphries
was speaking, another patriot, James Fielding
a man who lought to free the same colored
man. arose and w anted to make a speech. He
declared that he had worn the blue during the
war, but a man who wears the blue now, a cop
per, proved to be too much for him. and he sat
down and listened attentively through the rest
of the evening.
At the close of one of the speeches tnree
cheers were called for for Mr. Delamater, and
they were given right manfullv, but when
Jimmy O'Neill, that spirit which haunts all
political meetings, no matter of what faith,
called for a "tiger," that coy animal proved to
be ruminating in Lis own native jungle, and
refused to come forth for the edification of the
audience.
The hrsr speaker was Chairman Porter, who
made an eloquent effort to rally his army to
the hgbL He declared that the "county was
flooded with bogus tax receipts, which would
be used to put in votes for Pattison. He de
clared the report would come out Wednesday
morning that Allegheny county had piled up a
good majority for Mr. Delamater, and the
grand old Keystone State will swing into line
with a big majority. He introduced Mr. A. M.
Imbrie as the Chairman of the meeting.and he
in turn introduced as the leading speaker the
gentleman who made it so warm for Emery
and his X. Y. '.. friends one night at the Opera
House. and who is always gladly greeted by a
Republican audience. Major A. M. Brown.
HAD THEM ON THE IJUU.
The Major opened with the statement, "We
bave them on the run!" and that awoke all the
enthusiasm that could be crowded into that
little aggregation of voters. He continued:
"The few Republicans who had deserted the
party are now slinking in the back door, hoping
that we did not know that they even sympa
thized with tbe rebel Democrats. Mark the
men who vote for Pattison to-morrow. There
is no trouble among decent Republicans.
They are kicking on the bosses, are tbey?
They wear the collars of the little bosses who
want on top." Major Brown continued with a
strong appeal for the Republicans to stand to
gether. Colonel Stone and tbe Hon. Miles Humphries
also made excellent and entertaining addresses,
covering about tbe same line of thought as did
their predecessors. The McCleary Glee Club
added to the pleasures nf the evening by ren
dering some excellent political "hymns."
MAKING AH INVESTIGATION.
The Publishers of The American Jurying
Into the Collins Episode.
The Board of Directors of Zfte American, the
organ of the Jr. O. U. A. M which has been
pulled into the scheme of Stephen Collins to
throw tbe vote of the order for Delamater, met
yesterday afternoon for the purpose of insti
tuting an investigation as to the manner in
which the names bad been taken from their
office. Nothing could be learned as to what
action was taken, but after the meeting Harry
A. Keil, President of the Board, made the
following statement:
The lioard of Directors have decided to Institute
a riid investigation. It has beeu the custom of
The American to send sample copies to various
members of the order. Just as other newspapers
do. The securing of the addresses of the mem
bers is not an uuusual proceeding, lfjt is ascer
tained that any person connected with The
American has t&Wen advantage of his position to
deliver into the hands of any political party the
addresses of subscribers, or used his position to
secare the addresses of members of tbe order for
partisan euds, a strict account will have
to be rendered tne Hoard of Directors.
We have, J-owever. ascertained that the circu
lars which the newspapers speak of were not
only sent to members of theJr. o. u. A. it., but
to members or other organizations and to personi
not connected with any organization
The American Is a strictly non-partisan and
non-ttctarlan paper, devoted entirely to the in
terests of the J r u. U. A. M. bomeoi thedlrec
Torsare ltepublican In politics; others arc Demo
cratic, while a portion are Pattison Independents.
That such a board could be led bv auy one party
Is ridiculous in the extreme. Ihe directors ol
the American ruhltshiug Company had
nothing whatever to do with sending out
circulars or lurnishiug the names of members
tor an party, and the actions of 1 lie American
are governed emirel by the directors. Of this I
am certain.
Mr. Collins arnved home from Philadelphia
last evening, but left the tram at East Liberty
and could not be seen.
BUSINESS AND POLITICS.
Joshua Rhodes Sajs Delamater's Hand
shaking Lost Him Votes.
Joshua Rhodes went East last evening to at
tend a meeting of the Wrought Iron Pipe Man
ufacturers' Association. Mr. Rhodes said he
would lose his vote, but when the date for the
meeting was fixed nobody thought of election
day. He added that the trade was good, and
the makers had all the orders they could attend
to. Some ol the manufacturers were anxious
to advance the prices, but he said he would op
pose it. The Pennsylvania Tube Works, his
plant, was idle yesterday, because they hadn't
eras enough to run it. Mr. Rhodes stated that
the firm was going back to coal, but it would
take about three months before the necessary
changes could be made.
Speaking of the political situation in the
State, Mr. Rhodes said: "When Delamater
asked permission to go through my mill and
shake hands with the men I told him he was
making a great mistake. I was not mistaken.
That hand-shaking tour lost him many votes
in Pittsburg. 1 heard some of my men sav that
they would expect such a move lrom a ward
constable seeking re-election, but never from a
candidate for Governor. These men are Re
publicans, and won't vote for Pattison. The
lact is tbey won't vote at all. 1 think Alle
gheny county will be close, whichever way it
goes, and I sometimes think that Pattison will
bo elected. The result is very doubtful."
CONFLICTING CLAIMS.
Last Kstimates of Political Leaders on the
Result in Allegheny County.
There was heaps of hustling around the polit
ical headquarters jesterday. A stream of
workers Doured into the Republican headquar
ters all day long, had short interviews with Mr.
William Flinn, received small slips of paper,
which they carried up the floor above, and de
scended with broad smiles on their faces.
County Chairman Porter Insisted upon a
majority in the county for Delamater of from
3,0lW to O.000, while Internal Revenue Collector
Warmcastle was more specific, saying "Dela
mater would have the same majority as Boyer.
4,700.
Tne Democratic headquarters were full of
animation and hustle. The tickets were being
carried away by the ward workers, and tbey,
one an ' .asserted that the full Democratic
vote u be brought out, and that Mr. Patti
son woiiid iJ!ry the county with ease.
Chainnaii Blair.of the Independent Republic
ans, was catching his breath yesterdav, after
the work of the past lew weeks. Mr. Blair ex
pects at least 5,000 majority for Pattison in
Allegheny county, and believes that Delamater
mav get anywhere lrom 3,000 to 12,000 majority
in Philadelphia. "
ANOTHEE BEAVFE SENSATION.
Prominent Politicians Arrested on Charges
of Corrupting Voters.
L. E. Cnuningham, K, A. Lyda, real estate
agent; John Gould, contractor, and William H.
Bricker, ex-Prothonotary of Beaver county,
were arraigned before Burgess C. S. Gortnly
and Assistant Burgess and Justice of the
Peace John R. Braden, yesterday morning,
charged by Lawrence Carson, a reporter for the
Beaver Valley SVews. with "corruptly Influen
cing electors to vote." When the case came to
a hearing tbe prosecutor had no witnesses on
band, and withdrew pro tempore.
It was alleged that the accused were buying
votes for Phillipi. Independent camll'at for
Congress. An individual, whose sympathies
we're evidently with tbe accused, said that Car
son had said he wonld have 71 witnesses to
make good his charge, and the aforesaid non
sympathizer seemed to gloat over the prospect
of Mr. Carson's supposed dismal future.
THE S0UTHSIDE MIXED.
Many Voters Still Undetermined as to the
Course They Will Pursue.
"What is the latest news on the election?"
was the invariable greeting that was given a
Dispatch man on tbe Southsido yesterday.
The Southside has been known to be the hot
bed of the campaign in Pittsburg, and it is in
that section that both parties are doing their
heavy work.
There was not much betting done on the
Seutbsiue yesterday. Dr. Barchfield, how
ever, is so sanguine of Delamater win
ning that he made a bet of 50 even
that Delamater would carry the State by
40,000 majority. The bovs who were put onto
the "snap," as they expressed it, are now hunt
ing the Doctor up to see if he has more money
to wager.
Fred Gearing, a prominent member of the
Lotus Club, said that he did not think that a
large vote would be polled Tuesday, as there
was not much interest taken in the contest by
the workers.
James Winter, a well-known mill man, said
he as well as a large number of the mill men
were in a quandary what to do. He never would
vote for a Democrat and he was convinced that
Delamater is Quay's man. It i3 probable that
many ox those in this unsettled state of mind
will just stay at home and thus compromise
with their consciences.
The returns will be given at the Lotus Club
rooms to-morrow night by special wires.
AN ALLEGED rOBGESY.
Chairman Watson Says His Xame Was Un
lawfully Signed to a Communication.
Chairman H. T. Watson, of the County Dem
ocratic Committee, called at The Dispatch
office yesterday afternoon and mado a state
ment regarding a letter purporting to have
been written by Dim to Stewart Hamilton. In
the Iettei Hamilton was offered the position of
Sergeant at Arms of the House at Harrisburg
if be would work for Fattison, and was signed
"H. T. Watson, per W. P. Smith." The letter
was printed in a morning paper.
Said Mr. Watson: "The letter is a forgery,
and I never in my life saw W. P. Smith. I have
traced the matter as far as possible and find
that Hamilton is a turnkey in tbe Allegheny
Central station and Smith is a policeman. I
have no man named Smith in my employ and
don't allow any of my clerks to sign my name
with a 'per.' No communications are sent, out
except over my own signature. I have sent
nothing out except what any honorable man
can stand under.
"I have been endeavoring to find the man
who wrote the letter. I know it was in Mayor
Wyman's office Sunday night and he saw it be
fore it was published. He said he thought it
was a "gag." "
GOING HOME TO VOTE.
President Harrison Hopes This State Will
Go Rexublican.
President Harrison and Attorney General
Miller passed through the city last evening
bound for Indianapolis, where they were going
to vote to-day. The President was pleasant
enough, but he said be would not be inter
viewed. He was anxious about the result in
Pennsjlvania and Ohio, and asked questions
about the situation. "I hope," he concluded,
"that these two States will go Republican. So
far as that goes, I am interested in Republican
success everywhere."
He said he would like to remain at Indianap
olis for several days to shoot quail, but he was
afraid he wouldn't have the time to indulge in
this sport until tbe next session of Congress
was over. Partner Miller was a quiet listener.
EECEIVING THE BETTJBNS.
Preparations Made by Politicians, Clubs,
Theaters and The Dispatch.
Election returns will be received to-night at
Old City Hall by the straight Republicans, at
the Independent headquarters by the Pattison
Republicans and at tbe Randall Club and
County Democracy by the Democrats. Nearly
every club in the city, whether political or so
cial, will have special wires in for the purpose
of receiving retnrns. The theaters, also, will
receive returns, which will be announced from
the stage.
Tue Dispatch has mado complete arrange
ments to bulletin full and accurate returns in
front of its building, corner Smithfleld and
Diamond streets.
At the Grand Central Rink, Fenn avenue,
election returns will be receivedand announced
all night.
MEMBEBSHIP INCBEASING.
The Grover Cleveland Democratic Society
Re-Elects Its Officers.
The annual meeting of the Grover Cleveland
Democratic Society of Allegheny County was
held last night at its headquarters, Houston's
hall, Forty-ninth street. The report of the
Treasurer showed that the society was in an
excellent financial condition and that the mem
bership had increased in one year from 25 to
147.
The old board of officers was re-elected and
was as follows: President, S. L. Bellman; First
Vice President, Albert Miller; Second Vice
President, J. A. Flowers; Treasurer. F. G.
Gardner; Secretary, G. E. Conner: Sergeant at
Arms, M. F. Burk.
TRADING DALZELL.
D elamater's Friends Asking for Votes at the
Expensu of the Congressman.
Mr. R, P. Dnff, of P. Duffs Sons, Penn ave
nue, last evening informed THE DISPATCH
that Delamater hustlers had been making a
house-to-house canvass in his neighborhood,
offering to trade Dalzell votes for votes for
Delamater, saying that Dalzell was sure of
election anyway.
Air. Duff said: "I thought the tariff was an
issue in this campaign. Now, here are the Re
publican workers trading a high taiiff exponent
like Mr. Dalzell for Mr. Delamater, whoso elec
tion will have no effect upon tariff legislation."
A Mythical Shepherd.
A circular purporting to come from the
Catholic College, Philadelphia, signed Rt. Rev.
Anthony Reagau, has been received by Pitts
burgers. It urges all of that faith to vote lor
Delamater, because of Pattison's action in
vetoing certain bills, which action has been
fully explained in these columns. Several
Catholics, including ex-Postmaster Larkin, say
no such priest exists. They pronounce the cir
cular a campaign lie.
Allcntowu Republican Meeting.
The Republicans held a meeting in the Allen
town Turner Hall last night. Among the
speakers were Messrs. John Robb, H. I. Gour
ley, Assistant Postmaster Edwards and Rev.
Karl Well.
Want Some Profit.
A number of sewer pipe makers are in town
arranging some means whereby tbey can derive
a little more profit from the sale of their goods.
Trade is brisk, but very low prices rule.

from Washington yesterday and registered at
tbe Schlosscr. He said he was resting, and
came home to vote for Delamater.
Extending Its Influence.
Five now lodges of the Amalgamated Asso

Car Brasses Ordered Here.
Six hundred and forty thousand pounds of

Allegheny firm by the Lafayette Car Works.
Echoes of the Political Fray.
Councilman T. Holmes Millke, of the
Thirteenth ward, says he is for tbe Republican
ticket.
Detective Robinsox yesterday bet Magis
trate McKenna $100 to $75 that Delamater
would be elected,
G. T. Hep.eick, leader of the Seventeenth
Ward Independents, claims a majority there
for Pattison, a change of over S00 votes.
Several members of tbe Republican
County Committee were refused tickets yes
terday, because it had been intimated they
were for Pattison.
A man wandered into City Hall yesterday
and asked for directions to the Prohibition
bcadauarters. No one was able to give him
tbe information.
The Prohibition County Committee met
yesterday and wound up the business of the
campaign. All its bills were audited and paid
off, and not a cent of indebtedness remains.
A MAN applied to Mr. William Flinn at Re
publican headquarters yesterday, and asked if
that was where "Pattison money was being
given out." Mr. Flinn said the man with tbe
money was in the Fourteenth ward, and sent
the anplicint nut there.

Sufficient comment is found on the status
of the natural gas supply to Pittsburg mills
in the action of the iron and steel makers
on the question. A number of them have
returned to tbe use of coal for boiling iron,
but a disposition is found to continue the
use of gas in the beating furnaces. This is
due principally to the enlargement of the
latter during the last five years to such an
extent as to make the use of coal almost im
practicable. Following are some data col

Lindsay and McCutcbeon's 41 furnaces

the overhead trucks. 3y next week the
whole mill will be using coal in all depart
ments, at the rate of ,500 bushels a day. To
this firm the change will be nothing new,
as a year ago it found it necessary to fall
back on coal and change the mine heating
iurnaces for the purpose. It returned to
gas during the summer, but subsequently,
changed back to coal again, and has now
determined not to "monkey" with gas
again.
THE 'WORK OP TWO YEARS.
During the last two years tbe puddlers in
this mill have averaged about six or eight
heats, when in other mills ten beats
were made from both heats. The last
cuddling with gas was done on last Monday
morning. "While the charge is in progress
the finishing department will be continued
on double turn from a stock of 2,000 tons of
muck, some of which was made two years
ago.
At the Pittsburg Forge and Iron "Works
the puddling department is being remodeled
at the rate of two a day. It has 38 furnaces.
Meanwhile gas is being used, but only be
tween the hours of G A. M. and 6
P. M. By next week coal will again be in
use for boiling, but the finishing depart
ment will be supplied with fuel gas from
the plant erected some years ago and before
natural gas made its advent.
The supply of gas from Moorhead Bros. &
Co. s Sharpsburg mill was cut off on
Thursday last, and the firm much incon
venienced. The puddling department is
now being run on steam slack made gas,
and it is reported as being a success.
STILL OPERATED "WITH GAS.
Howe, Brown & Co.'s turnishing depart
ment is still being operated with gas, but
tho puddling department, of 13 furnaces has
been cnt off. Puddlers in this mill, a steel
mill, seldom make more than three beats in a
turn as the consumption of muck baj is not
very heavy, so no prognostication regarding a
return to coal can be made.
There are 20 puddling and 5 beating furnaces
in the Kensington mill of Lloyd, Sons & Co.,
and these will be changed back to coal as soon
as nossible. The mills mentioned give employ
ment to about 2.500 men: by the use of coal an
other 125 will be required.
The Philadelphia Company cut oft gas from
seven of I. Painter Sons & Co.'s puddling fur
naces, the only furnaces the company supplied.
Tbe other 60 and the finishing department are
still v ell supplied and are running on double
turn to their full capacltv.
The puddlers in Oliver Brothers A Pnmps'
Eagle Mill were asked to change their working
hours and agreed to do so for one week, start
ing at 6 o'clock in the evening and making six
heats up to 6 next morning. This companv,
however, is not dependent on an extraneous
supply and may continue to use the natural
fuel until it gives out for once and all.
The Sligo Mill, with the others, has suffered
from a scarcity of gas. Mr. Bailey, of the firm,
does not like the idea of returning to coal. He
is hopeful that the supply may become im
proved, and is therefore adonting a waiting
policy. From another source" it was learned
that tho boilers are to be changed back to coal,
and it was said ir the supply of gas did not
shortly improve that coal would resume its
sway before long. This firm owns its own coal
lands.
THE AVERAGE IN ALL MILLS.
The Keystone Mill, at Soho, has a full sup
ply of ga, but at Moorhead & if cCleane's Mill,
the puddlers are only making an average of
three heats per turn. This is about tbe aver
age in all the mills on both sides the Monon
gahela. The Wayne mill of Brown & Co., the Sable
of Tine & Co., and tho Jnniata of Shoenberger
& Co. have a lull supply of gas. The mills are
served by the Equitable Company.
At the Thirty-third street works of Carnegie
Bros. & Co. there has been a scarcity of gas for
sometime. Gas has been used in the 12 pud
dling furnaces of the Twentv-eighth street mill
since it as introduced. They have been built
so close together that they cannot be well
operated on coal. The company will probably
keep these furnaces on gas and remodel tho
others.
While puddling furnaces may be changed for,
and operated on, coal without any great trouble
or expense, the case is different with heating
furnaces. Since tho advent of natural gas
these have been enlarged to twice their orig
inal capacity, and it will not be so easy to make
a heat in them with coal as formerly. For this
reason gas, even at an additional figure, may
continue to ue ubuu iu mess iurnaces.;
The amount of cas consumed in a puddling
turnace making five heats in ten hours is
variously estimated at from 40.000 to 50,000 feet.
Tho rates heretofore charged have been SI 50
per gross- ton, being a little over $3 for a
furnace for 21 hours. The rates for heating
were $11 25 per gross ton. The average amount
of iron heated in a furnace is about 20 tons in
two turns, at a cost of $20 per furnace, requir
ing aDout twice as much gas as is used in a
puddling furnace. Natural gas was first intro
duced into Pittsbnrg mills in May of 1SS4.
In just six years and a half manufacturers
are beginning to think they have received as
many benefits as they can expect from Dame
Nature's illuminating medium, and are begin
ning to think of returning to the old order of
things which earned for Pittsburg the title of
tde "Smoky City."
THfiEE PEOPLE KILLED.
The Railroads Got in Some Very Deadly
Work Yesterday.
An unknown man was killed on the Junction
road at the Baltimore and Ohio crossing. His
bead was cut oft and his body otherwise muti
lated. The man was abont 25 years old, and had
nothing on his person to identify him.
An unknown wpinan was killed on the Pitts
burg, Virginia and Chaileston road, near Clin
ton siding. She wore a coarse calico dress, two
rings on a finger and is about 35 years of age.
A man supposed to be Martin Grantz was
struck by a train In the Baltimore and Ohio
yards and killed. last evening. He Is a German
and a mill worker. '

BRINGING MEN ALONG.
STOREKEEPERS OBTAINING HELP HERE
AND ABROAD,
To Take tho Places of the Striking Sales
men Business in the Stores Carried on
Much as Usual-Prospects Favorable for
a Tussle.
The situation between the striking sales
men and saleswomen and their whilom em
ployers is now best described as having re
solved itself into a trial of strength between
the several proprietors and the labor unions
of the county. The storekeepers have refused
to accede to the terms of tho agreement placed
before them by the local assembly, and have
taken measures to obtain assistance from out-of-town
sources. Tbey seem to have entered
into a mutual compact to "see the thing
through," and only their ledgers will tell what
the outcome, as far as they are concerned,
will be.
The labor unions, through their representa
tives in the Central Trades and Building Trades
Councils, have said that tho salesmen wero
right in placing themselves in the position they
have. The only logical result of this attitude
of the unions will be in declaring the boycott
customary in every case where the employer
resists the demand of tho organized employe.
The several stores interested in tbe strike
were not apparently affected by the withdrawal
of their old hands yesterday. They had suc
ceeded in impressing a good many outsiders
many of them raw and green into tbeir serv
ice, and these filled the exigencies of the day
with more or less satisfaction to their employ
ers and their customers. In some stores the
latter patiently awaited their turn, while in
others they went elscwheVe. Ibe salesmen
on strike made no sign, and, with the exception
of a couple or so, retained their stand.
Gusky's wero averse to allowing many cus
tomers in at a time. A porter kept guard at
the closed doors, and only permitted a person
to pass as a matter of obligation. Mr. Vllliam
De Wolfe was busy extolling the merits of
ready-made garments to a customer, when
asked how he had got on during the day.
"All right," was the reply. "We have enough
people to wait on our customers, and shall have
a number here tomorrow from New York and
Philadelphia. None of our old men have re
turned. I understand they wantod to come
back, but some of their co-laborers threatened
them with violence."
Mr. Jacob Kauffman exhibited a telegram
from Philadelphia stating that his agent there
had employed about 50 hands, who would leave
at once for Pittsburg. Business at this store
was conducted pretty much as usual. There
doesn't seem, anywhere, to be much business
doing in drygoods, and the struck stores had
as much trade as any.
Mr. Sol Cowen, in the P. C. C. C. store, did
not appear much inconvenienced by the with
drawal of bis men. He remarked he had
enough to carry on bis business.
Mr. Jackson, of Liberty street, said that two
of the strikers bad returned. Here it was
learned that the salesmen of the firm had
given up a good thing in surrendering their
employment. They received good wages some
of them $18 a week with a share tn the profits,
and the privilege of bujing everything they
needed for themselves and their families at
first cost. At other stores salesmen were only
allowed 10 per cent off usual rates.
The firms which signed the salemen's agree
ment were busy and ready in taking advantage
of their position. They distributed dodgers
broadcast, calling on "Labor and Trades
Unions" to patronize them on that account.
The Boston Clothing Company and Beinman
Co., some of whose men were members of
the Salemen's Assembly, yesterdav signed the
agreement for the first time. This brings up
the number of houses recognizing tbe scale to
11. Every storekeeper seen reaffirmed his in
tention of withstanding the demands of the
strikers.
Another Indorsement of Strikers.
Gilt Edge Lodge, No. 62. of tho Switchmens'
Union adopted resolutions last night to stand
by the Salesmens' Assembly in their strike
against the clothing houses, and under no cir
cumstances to patronize tbe houses whose em
ployes are on strike until the difficulty be ad
justed. Keeping It Up.
The Edgar Thomson Steel Works have
beaten tbe record again. During the month of

WAR BETWEEN HIVAL MANAGEBS.
Theatrical Advertising Tricks Leading
Toward Legal Complications.
The1 managers of tbe Bijou Theater and tho
Grand Opera House are at war; indeed, they
have been fighting for several days, in the high
ways and byways of the two cities, and it may
wind up with a battle in the courts. Tbe con
flict thickened on Saturday, when it is alleged
that employes of tbe Bijou Theater went into
the stores and saloons where Grand Opera
House advertising paper was displayed, and,
pretending that they had been sent outby Man
ager Wilt, handed out a half-sheet poster, on
which was printed: "Wait for 'Superba,' Next
Week, etc." This bill was substituted for the
poster announcing "The Great Metropolis;"
and tbe trick was played in many hundreds of
places. The Bijou people say that tney were
driven to do this by the misdeeds of tbe Grand
Opera House employes, who, it is alleged, tore
down the Bijou's lithographs and pasted Opera
Houfe bills over the Bijou's stands. The ficht
is exceedingly like the conflicts between rival
circuses.
Last night Manager Gulick, of the Bijou, ad
mitted that a trick had been played on the
Opera House, but urged that it was a necessary
act of self-defense, seeing that the Opera
House employes had destroyed tbe Bijou's bills.
Mr. Gulick added that he would be grateful to
Manager Wilt if he would carry the matter into
court.
Manager Wilt was equally positive that he
had been shamefully treated, and denied em-
batically that his employes had molested tbe
ljou in any way. He also said that.be intend
ed to sue Messrs. Gulick Co. tbis morning.
Pushing the Work.
W. T. Manning, formerly Chief Engineer of
the Pittsburg division of the Baltimore and
Ohio road, came to tbe citj from Staten Island
yesterday to look after tbe building of the new
ireight depot and yards. Mr. Manning out
lined the plans, and be will visit Pittsburg once
a month until the work is completed. He is

A LARGE, LANDSLIDE
At Crafton Breaks Fonrof the Phila
delphia Company's Mains.
LOWER ALLEGHENY WITHOUT GAS.
AH Departments of the Mills Shut Off to
Tide Over the Trouble.
BIO FORCE OF WORKMEN AT THE SPOT
Northside residents, and particularly
those of lower Allegheny, were placed in a
rather bad predicament yesterday, which
they doubtless do not care to have repeated.
The gas supply of all Allegheny was shut
off by the mains being burst in a landslide
at Crafton, late Sunday. Hardly any per
son had coal on hand, and as a result, had
to go with cold lunches, taken with liberal
doses of consolement in the way of invectives
on the vicissitudes of life and especially of
the flow of gas.
The landslide at Crafton was a big one.
Hundreds of tons of earth and rocks rushed
down the hill and either buried or broke tho
four mains that supply Allegheny. The mains
are from the Wasnlngton and Murraysville
field two are 12-inch and two 6-inch.
The Philadelphia Company immediately set
a large force of men at work all that could be
spared from the different districts. It was
found that about 80 feet of line bad been
broken, and to repair it would take some time.
Tho men worked all Sunday night. Yesterday
morning the company was in a quandary how
to provide Allegheny with fuel, and at last
decided to notify all mills that they would be
shut off. Accordingly, all the mills were with
out gas in eveiy department yesterday and
where no coal was on hand, shut up shop.
The Philadelphia Company backed overall
the surplus gas possible to Allegheuv, and thus
keptthe upper part of the citv snpp'lied, but it
was hard work to back enough gas over to sup
ply the wliolo city, and as a result, the lower
wards had no gas at all.
A very large force worked all last night on
the broken mains, and it was hoped to have
connections made by this morning and the
whole trouble remedied.
TOO MUCH OF ONE STEEET.
ThePavlng of Stanton Avenne is Indefi
nitely Postponed.
Tbe Committee on Public Works met yester
day and indefinitely postponed action on an
ordinance providing for the repaying of about
two miles of Stanton avenue, from Butler
street to Clearview street. Mr. Holliday'ana
Dr. Evans objected to this work being under
taken while the expenditure was more urgently
needed upon other streets.
Ordinances affirmatively recommended to
Councils were for grading, paving and curbing
Frances and Fifty-fourth streets; openingBlalr,
Haights, Lytle and FUty-fourth streets; sewer
ing Moorewood avenue, Elysian street, Frances
street, Whittier street, Larimer avenue, May

PAETY FEELING BAH HIGH.
So Much So That One Colored Man Pulled a
Gun on Another.
A pair of semi-intoxicated colored men
named George Armstrong and Thomas Wright
had some hot words outside the Red Lion
Hotel last night, and fell to fighting.
This did not satisfy Wright's taste, who drew
a revolver and fired twice at Armstrong, with
out hitting him. He then ran away and eluded
arrest. The other man is in Central station.

Frank Cowan, of the Southside, the Loser
In an Ohio Theft
Mr. Frank Cowan, a worker in Oliver Broth
ers' mills, Southside, is in a rather awkwardjpo
sitiou. About two weeks ago ho wrote to his
father at Salem, C, requesting tbe latter to
buy him a horse. In due time tbe horse arrived
and Cowan was feeling elated over the bargain
he had obtained.
Yesterday O. R. Campbell, of Salem, saw the
horse and claimed it, saying it bad been stolen
from his barn about three weeks ago. The
borse was taken to tbe police station and
Campbell will bring witnesses this morning to
prove his ownership. Cowan's father bought
the horse of an unknown man and tbe former
is out his money.
