Major Gourley Considers the Advisability
of Calling a Citizens' Meeting
to i'xbend an
15V1TATI0X TO DEbLO.V AND O'BEIEN
To Visit a City Thit Cn Urns Xuy Syaptthaen
With The r Cut
Mayor Gourley intends to test public
sentiment with regard "to the Irish members
of Parliament now in. Xew York, and the
advisability of tendering them a formal in
vitation to visit this c ity.
The Mayor was yesterday approached by
sympathizers with the Irish cause, and re
quested to take steps toward sending such
an invitation and organizing a committee of
reception. Mr. Gourley expressed himself
as deeply interested in the project, and
promised to consult upon its advisability
with several prominent citizens this after
noon. In discussing the matter, he said
last nigbi:
"I am, personally, much pleased with this
idea of inviting the Irish representatives to
Pittsburg. I have always synj pathized with
Ireland in her struggles for constitutional
libertv. Messrs. Dillon, O'Brien and
O'Connor are the accredited envoys of the
Iri'h nation to its constant ally, the United
States. On this account it behooves us to do
tbem honor. But one must also remember
that these gentlemen are, apart from politics,
personallv distinguished and worthy of all
the courtesies we can confer upon them.
Two of them, at least, have made their
marks in English literature; another is one
01 the greatest orators in the Parliament at
"Westminster.
mseuvikg A housing r.itcnr'nou.
"I am sure that all races and classes
would approve of giving them a rousing re
ception. We entertained the Scotch-Irish,
the Pan-Americans and the English Iron
and Steel Institute. Mr. O'Brien and his
companions arc surely as deserving of being
received and entertained. I believe that
President Harrison, Mr. Cleveland, Mr.
Hayes and a number of the most notable
men of our countrv have allowed their
names to appear on the National Committee
of Keception, which greeted the visitors in
Kew York. Surely our prominent Pitts
burgers can have no hesitation in doing
likewise."
In conclusion Mr. Gourley pointed out
that-the.'Sreeeption of the Irish members
would betoken no disrespect to the English
flag, inasmuch as thce gentlemen are
themselves members of Her Mjjesty's Par
liament. Moreover, Mr. Gladstone, who
had always been a stanch friend of Amer
ica, had bade them godspeed, and declared
their voyage just and worthy of success.
JOKE OF TlID PAISTY IN PITTSBUKG.
Mr- Charles H. Geary, of the Dublin
freeman's Journal who, is one of the Dillon-O'Brien
party, spent some hours in
I'ittsburg yesterday. He had taken the op
portunity to run down to Steubenville to
visit friedns, and on the way hack stopped
to see the wonders of the Gas City. Mr.
Gearv is a very affable gentleman, and
talked very willingly when questioned re
garding the proposed invitation to the Irish
mera'iers. He said:
" 1 was under the impression that Pittsburg
bad already invited the envojs, as all the other
Eastern cities have done. However. I have
been away from headquarters for soinedajs.
and consequently onl know what the newspa
pers tell me about the movements of mv friends.
The citizens ot Boston. Baltimore. Philadel
phia, Bullalo. and other big cities have held
ie.Uucs and formally requested the visitors to
come among them. The party i lu Philadel
phia tn-dVj. and notwithstanding the election
svcitement, I am sure they will get a very fine
reception They will be;in to move West next
week. When sir Thomas Esmonde and Mr.
Arthur O'Connor were here one of the very
heartiest welcomes thev got in America came
from the citizens of Pittsburg. I hope history
is going to repeat itself."
t consequence of a report to the effect that
an invitation had alread been sent to the party
In the Irish residents of Pittsburg, several of
these gentlemen were, last right, interviewed
on ttic subject. Rev. M. il. Sheedy, one of the
mou prominent. &.tid:
"1 donottlnnUtliatanyregularinvitation has
been sent. Tnat v ould come mure gracefully
from tne citizens at large. I know, however,
that the viMtors have received encouragement
from Pittsburg, and that they are at preent in
romranmca.ioa with several citizens. I under
stood that a mretiug would probably be held
to-morrow afternoon to discuss the question
and the best tnans of Getting our friends from
ever the Atlantic down to the Gas City.
a nncTPTioN- ornx to all.
"The locale of this meeting I cannot sav. It
will have to be an impromptu affair, and will, of
coarse, he open to all. It would be a good
tiling to catch the party as it is moving west
ward. Tne welcome ought to come from all
creeds and parties; though, of course, it is only
natural thai those of Irish birth or descent will
have a warmer lcelmg lo.- the envoys from the
old country thin anyone else"
C G. Dixon, ice President of the Colnmbns
Club said: "Major Gourley oucht to call a
general meeting of citizens in Cit Hall and
ascertain their Icclmgs on this question. I am
sore that there would be no opposition to the
project of tendering Messrs. JJillon. O'llricn,
and O'Connor a frrmal mutation to Pittsburg.
W i-encverad.stinguishcd American goes over
to Ireland he is feted and made welcome. The
splendid receptions accorded by the Irish to
lion. Cenjamm Jlntterworth. Senator Jones, of
Nevada, General P. A. Collins, and a host of
other visiting Americans are fresh in every
one's newer;. Surclj this big Union is not
Sojugtobeoutdnrc in hospitality by such a
ttlecouutn as Ireland."
Alderman B Mrkenua was highly pleased
with the reception idea. "liyall means invite
them." he said. "1 hey have fought an uphill
fight tcll and pluckilv. arid they deserve to be
emouraged lor their pluck, if lor nothing else.
'e Americans know what freedom is too well
Dot to appreciate the honest endeavors of other
nati.uvs to attain it."
tslienll McCannless had also something to
6av on the subject. "Do you really mean to
tell me," he ejaculated, "that there is some
ttmig beside elections to talk about? What a
relict ! As regards the inviting of the Irish
Members here. I am personally favorable to
the notion Messrs. O'Brien and O'Connor
have both written books, some ot wnich 1 have
read u i h pleasure. If we do not greet them as
politicians, we ought at least to do so because of
their eminence in the literary world.
NO ADYnRTIS.EMEJ.-T IN IT.
Onr receptions of the Pan-American and
British Iron and Steel people were not entirely
disinterested. There was much of the element
cf advertisement in them. This proposed recep
tion of the Irish envoys, however, would be a
purely disinterested atiair, as they can do our
trade no appreciable rood or barm. You may
count ine as at mpathizer with the reception
mmu.t "
Mr. C. II organ, a State Ieaaer of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians, stated in an interview
lai evening: The Irish societies have, so far
as I know, sent no invitation to Messrs. O'Brien
ard IM11"U. Tncy are waiting lor the citizens
ot 1'iitsburg. the non-Irish as well as the Irish, to
take action. 'I lie Kastcrn cities havelnvited the
Jr'Sh members, through their mayors. Pitts
burg ouslit to follow suit. The question of a
reception to the envoys was, however, brought
up in the A. O. H. meeting last Sunday, and
warm resolutions of welcome to the ii. P.'a
were passed. I understand that overtures have
heenmade to the MSitore by some well-known
Jnfh here, but I think that nothing formal in
the way of an invitation has yet been extended.
If the city will not give the envoys a rousing
reception it will be the duty of the citizens of
Irisn birth to step into the breach and show
these distinguished patriots that courtesy is
not an unlcnov.n quantity here in Pittsburg,
and that Americans nave a real admiration for
those who strive for constitutional liberty."
A GOOD GREETING A GODSPEED.
Ex-Postmaster John B. Larkin said: "We
certainly ought to give the Irish M. P.'s all the
encouragement In onr power. A good warm
greeting here will speed them on their way
across the continent. As personal friends of
Mr. Gladstone and British members of Parlia
ment, wc certainly owe them some considera
tion. Tho ridiculous reports that their splendid
rccentions in the Bast are due to a desire on
the part of politicians to catch the Irish vote
are just so much nonsense. The receptions are
given to them because they are well worthy of
them. If Jlayor Gonrley will consent to call a
meeting, and thus set the hall rolliug, I have
little doubt that the success ot the reception
idea will be assured. I only wonder
that the project was not started sooner, but I
suppose that the recent exciting elections
drove almost everything else out of the heads
of our public men. 1 should be very sorry to
think that Pittsburg was going to fail in coart
esy, and allow Boston. Philadelphia and Chica
go to outdo her in friendliness to these patriots,
who ask nothing but our friendship for a coun
try in whose endeavors for freedom we must
all be interested. This welcome should not
merely come from people of the Irish race. The
members are already sure ot a greeting from
their kin, over here; but they exuect quite as
good a reception from the other races of this
most composite of nations.
THE MAN FOB ME PLACE.
"Mayor Gourley has already proved his great
powers as an organizer of just such celebrations
as the one proposed. We all remember the
Fourth of July celebration and what a success
he made of it. I am sure he can do the same
with the prooosed reception of the pilgrims
from green Erin."
W. J. Brennen, Esq., said: "As an Ameri
can, born and bred. I can see no possible ob
jection to our inviting the Irish members to
Pittsburg. In point of fact, I regard it as our
duty to tender them such an invitation, and
give them a bigreception, in the bargain. Tho
movement shnnld originate with the Mayor
and the bulk of the citizens, rather than with
the people of Irish descent. This should not
be an exchange of civilities between people of
the same race, but rather an expression of
sympathy and fellowship between two distinct
nations."
Other notable people were interviewed on
the reception project and not a single dissen
tient voice was heard, while the plea was every
where greeted with a chorus of commendation.
BUSINESS AND PLEASURE
Considered at a Meeting of the Retail Gro
cersThe Collection of Bad Debts as It
Is Sow Conducted Preparations for tie
Big Banquet.
The Betail Grocers' Association, of Pitts
burg, met last night at its rooms on Smith
field street.' 'The attendance was larger than
usual, and the meeting was as interesting as
any meeting that has been held lately.
President O'Donnell not being present. Vice
President Wittell called the meeting to order
at 8:20 o'clock.
The reports of the agents to collect bad debts
were highly encouraging. The reporcs showed
a total collection for the two weeks of $107 41.
Mr. Pat Carroll, of Brownsville avenue, was
then admitted as a member.
For some time past the association has been
trying to devise some means of letting grocers
know when to get money that has been col
lected during the week by the agents. Asa
last resort, the association bad postal cards
printed that will bo sent to all crocers to whom
money is due, telling them to call and collect
such money at the meeting of the association
Thursday. November 20, at 8 o'clock. The
postals will be sent out this week. To those
who are not able to come to collect their money
the agents will visit and pay their amount over
to them. Other important business was then
transacted, after which the meeting adjourned
to form itself into the banquet meeting.
The meeting on the banquet was called to
order by Mr. Charters. The committee re
ported that it had secured Turner Hall as the
Elace ot holding the banquet. The music has
een secured and the tickets and invitations
ordered printed. Mr. Charters then suggested
that - special banquet meeting he held on
Wednesday evening. November 12. at 8 o'clock,
in the association rooms, to take hnal action in
regard to the banquet that will be held Decem
ber 17.
The arrangements for the banqnet are elab
orate, and it will likely be one of the most suc
cessful affairs ever held by the grocers. The
hall will be beautifully decorated with flowers
and plants. The Boyal Italians will furnish the
music The grand march will take place early
in the evening, when the crocers will form in
line, marching 16 abreast. They will march up
the center of the hall. Hon. Ii. I. Gourley will
deliver the address of welcome, aud P. F.
Smith, of the Pennsylvania Grocer, will re
snond in behalf or the crocers. T(ie tickets
will sell for S3, which will include admission
and supper for lady and gentleman.
IT WAKED VERY SUDDENLY.
An Eloping Couple's Honeymoon Cnt Short
by the Bride's Father.
Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Mitchell and Mr. A. C.
Shell the latter the father of the lady formed
an interesting trio which boarded the Eastern
express last evening. And thereby hangs an
elopement story.
It was far away in Norwich Town, Conn.,
young Mitchell for ho his not yet reached a
voting age wooed and won the young and
beautiful daughter of Mr. Shell. He desired
to make her his wife forthwith. To this little
arrangement the lady was not averse. Bntthe
"author of her being," as Micawber would have
said, could not see it in the same light. He was
importuned, and his refusal only became the
stronger. But the young couple were not to be
denied: they were in love; they wanted to ha
onc.and when they could not get consent to their
union they took it and an early train to Jersey
City, where the knot was duly tied.
Thence they came West on a honeymoon trip,
and arriving here on Wednesday morning put
up at the bouse of a relative near Snarpsburg.
But alas! fur the success of the little trip and
the sweet delights ot the honeymoon. They
were recognized in passing through Philadel
phia, and a message to the lather in Norwich
quickly gave him the necessary clew to their
whereabouts. He left in hot pursuit of the
runaway conplr and vowiac vengeance on
young Mitchell. He arrived in the city yester
day. He was wroth: opened fire with all the
heavy guns at an outraged narent's command,
and spoke mighty words. The eloping coupli
produced the marriage certificate and the guns
were silenced. The enemy capitulated and the
honeymoon waned simultaneously. And now
the father, his flighty daughter and ncr youth
ful husband are wondering why it is that thoso
arc these.
THEIH ANNUAL PABADE.
Arrangements for the Celebration of
Washington's Birthday.
The general committee appointed to arrange
for the annual parade by the American Me
chanics, will meet to-morrow evening in the
Moorhead building. As the dedication of the
Washington monument in the Allegheny Park
will be made a special feature of this year's
demonstration, it is expected that the affair
will be larger and more successful than ever.
A matter that will come up early in the pro
ceedings ot tho General Committee is the elec
tion of chief marshal. A number of candidates
are already in the field, but it is said the plum
will fall to T. J. Morlcy, who was a member of
Iron City Council for over 12 years, bnt who is
now a member of Lcscalette Council. The en
tire parade will be in Allegheny tins year.
HE HELPED HIMSELF.
A Southside Bad Who Has Gono to Book
for Brosl and Jarrett.
Jacob Yochum. 17-year-old son of a well
known Southside butcher, left homo for an un
known destination yesterday, taking with him
170 of his father's cash, and several articles
that can be convened into cash. The police
were notified, and are looking for theyonng
man.
Mr. Yochum knows nothing about bis son. or
where he has gone. He has no friends in any
of the surrounding towns, and Mr. Yochum
thinks he must have gone to the extreme East
or West.
Running Without Orders.
Coroner McDowell is investigating the case
of Engineer W. H. Flick, who died from the
results of a collision on the Baltimore and
Ohio. Encincer Peter Toboscoe. who was on
tbe other train, is also dead. Evidence was
taken to show that Flick was running without
orders, and the case was adjourned to net the
statements of the Baltimore and Ohio officials.
Headache a Beflex of Weak Eyes.
Many suffer Irora headache, but few find
out the cause, but every day sufler the
same. That all are suffering from the same
cause is impossible; that a large proportion
are suffering from the defects oV refraction
weak sight is demonstrated by the daily
experience of the oculist, Recently a lady
from Somerset county who bad had bead
ache and pain in the eyes for two years, was
entirely relieved by the proper correction of
her focusing power. Her defect had been
visular and the glasses had to be made
expressly for her. Another from Greene
county was wholly unable to do her share of
work from tbe incessant headache, but was
w holly restored by proper glasses. In the
first case a week's trial without them
brought ou all the old symptoms. Dr.
Sadler, 804 Penn avenue, finds such cases
frequent and always finds a remedy.
MAKING A GOVERNOR
Thousands of Pittsburgers Will At
tend to See How It is Done.
PHILADELPHIA'S OUT IN FORCE.
Great Time Expected at Governor Fatti
aon's Inauguration.
APPOINTMENT OP THE PENSION AGENT
The inauguration of Governor Pattison
at Harrisburg will be attended by a large
number of Pittsburg Democrats and Inde
pendent Republicans. They will have
plenty of company from East and West.
The Randall Club will be there in all the
glory of black Mackintoshes, white plugs
and red umbrellas. The County Democracy
is making preparations to attend, aud while
the Independent Republicans are not or
ganized, it is expected that many of them
will attend the inauguration of the Governor
of their making.
The Bandall Club opened the ball last
evening by appointing a committee to make
arrangements for tbe trip to Harrisburg.
This committee consists of Messrs. A. F.
Heating, J. E. McCrickart, S. A. Duncan,
J. P. Fleming and B. J. Foley. The gen
tlemen who will take charge of the financial
end of the affair are Messrs. T. J. O'Leary,
Jr., H, T. Morris, Thomas McBride, S. F.
Patterson and T. J. Wallace.
Mr. O'Leary said last night: "This in
auguration will be the greatest ever held in
Pennsylvania. It is impossible to estimate
the number of persons who will go from
Pittsburg. We expect to make arrange
ments for 10 to 12 special trains, which will
accommodate Irom 2,000 to 3,000 persons.
Undoubtedly other organizations will make
similar arrangements, and the Mohamme
dan pilgrimage to Mecca will not begin to
compare in numbers with the multitude of
American citizens who will cross the Alle
ghenies to see Pattison inaugurated.
BUCKETES "WANT TO PARTICIPATE.
"The Jackson Club, of Columbus. O., through
its Preiident, AV. A. Taylor, has already tele
graphed General Gnthrie, congratulating him
on our great victory, and notifying us that they
will accept an Invitation to attend the inaugu
ration, and will come 300 strong.
"It is my opinion that at least 100,000 strangers
will be in Harrisburg on the day Governor Pat
tison is inaugurated. The 33 Democratic ward
clubs of Philadelphia will be there, as will the
Araericus Club, the Young Men's Battalion, the
Moyamensing Club, and a number of similar
Philadelphia organizations. The Central Dem
ocratic Club, of Syracuse, and tbe Democratio
Club, of Reading, will also be there." f
The enthusiastic Democrats of Pittsburg can
not wait until January before they give vent to
their joyf nl emotions, but will parade on Satur
day night in order that those voters who do not
read the newspapers may know who has been
elected Governor. The Randal, Club has taken
the initiative in this, and will extend invitations
to all tbe other Democratic organizations and
to the Indepondent Republicans to turn out
with them. The Great Western Band will head
tbe procession, red tire and pyrotechnics will
be consumed with reckless profusion, but the
hideous tin horn is barred. Tbe Randall Club
will tnrn out 400 strong, and it is expected that
several thousand men will be in line. The pa
rade will form in front of the Randall Club, in
Duquesne way, at 7:30 p. jr.

His chief clerk will be H. D. Rolfe, a son of
the junior member of tbe firm of Sweat &
Rolfe, Southside iron men.
Mr. Bengough said: "My appointment is
chiefly due to the fraternal interest taken in
me by thq members of the G. A. R., many of

inconvenience to further my cause. I feel es
pecially pleased to think that my appointment
has not become entangled with the recent elec
tion issues. I am indorsed both by Senator
Quay aud Congressman Dalzell."
Mr. Bengough was born on Penn avenue on

A Novel Street Tarade of Republicans Over
in Allegheny.
A novel parade took place in Allegheny last
night. Over 100 Republicans of the Seventh
ward set forth, headed by a drum corps, and
carrying flags and banners. On two of the
largest banners were glaring inscriptions, noti
fying all onlookers that the bearers were
vovaging up Salt river.
The parade passed through the principal
streets in the central portion of the city.
Young Men's Tariff Club Meeting.
The Young Men's Repnblican Tariff Club

several new members to their roll. The com

Viewing the Wreck.
Business was so very slow about the Court
House yesterday that a pin could be heard
drop in some of the departments. Prothono
tary Bradley said they were viowing the wreck,
and could not do much until it was cleared
away.
Democrats Claim Sharpsburg.
A number of Sharpsburgers who voted -for
Pattison write to The Dispatch that that
borough "went Democratic," and they "can
prove it, too."
THE ELEMENTS IN. POLITICS.
Peculiar Action of the Wind Upon Two
Campaign Banners.
The bright weather of yesterday cheered
both the victors and the vanquished, and
aronnd City Hall there were speculations as to
whether there was any connection between
politics and the weather. One man in the City
Controller's office thonght there was something
in it, and gave the following Instance:
"At the opening of the campaign of 1884, my
cousin, who was postmaster at Belleville, and
an ardc.it Cleveland man, hnng out a big ban
ner. Across the street,.at tho Republican head
Suarters, a Blaine flag was hung out the same
ay. That night a wind storm came along and
furled tbe Cleveland flag tightly around tho
pole, without disturbing the Blaine banner.
The flags stayed this way all through the cam
paign, until election day. when a strong breeze
loosened the folds of tbe Cleveland flag, con
spicuously displaying its beauties, while the
Blaine banner was wrapped around the flag
staff as if in premonition of defeat." , -
WILL HAVE PLENTY OF GAS.
The Philadelphia Company Turns the Fnel
Into Its New 36-Inch. Main Pittsburg
and Allegheny Consumers to Have Alt
They Want.
The new 36-inch natural gas main of the
Philadelphia Company, on Second avenue,
has been completed, and the gas was turned
on last night Tbe main, which has been
in tbe conrse of construction for a consid
erable time, taps the Bellevernon gas fields,
and the officers of tbe company have always
contended that when it was finished there
would be no further complaint on the part of
consumers of a deficient supply of gas.
Tbe importance of this connection was never
more fully recognized than during the recent
gas famine in Pittsburg and Allegheny.
People who were out of patience and who suf
fered much inconvenience through the falling
off or total stoppage of tho I ow were assured
that they would have no cause for complaint
when tbe new main was in operation.
Superintendent Wilcox said last night that
there would be no more drumming about
shortaee of supply, or defect In pressure, as the
new main woula not only furnish all tbe gas
needed in Pittsburg, but there would be an
abundant supply for the Allegheny Heating
Company, which draws Its ghs from the pipes
of the Philadelphia Company.
The main from the Bellevernon field will also
supply cas in sufficient quantities for the use of
the rolling mills, so that the can run on full
instead of half time. Connections have been
made with this main at Laughlin to the Con
tinental Tube Works and lhi Elba Iron and
Steel Company's plant.
HANGING BY A THREAD.
Chancellor Milton B. Got' Now Hovering
Between Life and Death.
The life of Chancellor Milton B. Goff. of the
Western University, is now hanging by a mere
thread. His attending physicians, Messrs.Cooper
and Woodard, hope for the bust, but up to yes
terday afternoon could not five much indica
tion of how things were going with the Chan
cellor. Wednesday night it was thought sure
that death was hovering In the room. The
patient is in intense agony all the time, and his
suffering is terrible to witness.
The first indications of anything more seri
ous than the pain attending the healing of his
broken leg were noticed Tuesday. He com
plained of soreness about tho chest, and it was
soon found that pneumonia had set in. But
that was not tbe worst. It is feared that he re
ceived internal injuries when he fell through
tho culvert at Homestead during tbe iron and
steel delegates' visit.
A NEW CUT OFFICE
Made Kecessary in Allegheny by the
Electric Lighting System.'
The Allegheny Committee on Gas met last
evening, Mr. Snaman in th'i chair. The chief
business transacted was the consideration of
an ordinance abolishing the office of Superin
tendent of Gas with a salary of S1.200 and
creating that of Superintendent of Public
Lighting with a salary of S2,f00.
The only changes made on the ordinance, as
presented, were the fixinsr of the Chief En
gineer's salary at $125 per month and that of

An Allegheny Council Committee
Wants Fully Thai Amount
TO MAKE GOOD STREET PAVEMENTS
A Special Meeting Called to Devise Means
of Raising Funds.
0EDINANCE FOR SPECIAL TAXATION
"We must stop first and devise means of
raising funds. Why refer ordinances for
paving streets, when the treasury is empty.
There is no other city in the United States
that has as poor streets as Allegheny. I do
not believe il advisable to discriminate in
favor of Bebecca or any other street, until
first some way sis found of raising fnnds.
And then let a general crusade of street im
provements commence, taking the worst
first, and keeping at it until Allegheny has
better streets throughout.
"Mr. Chairman, I move that a special
meeting of the Street Committee be called to
devise means of raising funds. Then the
Finance Committee can meet with the Street
Committee and come to an understanding
before the new Councils are organized. I
believe we should raise a fund each year, by
taxation, to improve the streets. An ordi
nance to that effect shonld be passed by
Councils."
STARTED THE BALI, EOLLIJf Q.
The above quotation is from the lips of
Charles Hartman, at the Allegheny Street
Committee meeting Ust night. The words
are significant as tho keynote of a very im
portant movement in Allegheny. Mr. Hart
man but expressed the opinion of others of the
committee, and set the ball rolling. As a re
sult, a special meeting, as suggested, was called
for November 20.
The appropriation necessary to meet the de
mands will not fill below $500,000, and some of
the committeemen think it will take 1,000,000
to fix Allegheny's streets. The members are
thoroughly enthused over the sutijecr. and say
that they propoe to have Allegheny's streets
in good condition just as soon as possible. Tbe
improvements will be made on a systematic
plan, the most important streets taken first,
and as much done at a time as tbe funds will
allow. :
This sndden resolve to better Allegheny's
streets was brought about in an nnexpected
manner, bnt it was by no means spasmodic
The committeemen had been reading a good
deal of the poor streets. The subject has been
talked over in Allegheny with great interest,
for months, and though rather unexpected
just now, it was not strange that tho commit
teemen should fall in with the move with such
ardor.
CAUGHT A QUORUM AT LAST.
The Street Committee held its first full meet
ing for a long time last night. At a prior
meeting a qnorum was not present. Allegheny
politicians have been busy attending to water
works and lighting, and finally tbe election,
and the streets' were forgotten. As a result,
when a full meeting was obtained last night,
the table in front of Chairman McAfee was
piled up with work.
The committee waded through some of tbe
minor ordinances and other business in a sort
of a sleepy way, until tbe Federal street paving
ordinance came up and was finally passed.
Then the committeemen worked along again,
until the air in tbe room seemed drowsy. C.
W. Neeb called up an ordinance to pave Re
becca street, from Craig street to Western ave
nue. Chairman McAfee said: "Pardon me, but we
have do fundi." It was at this juncture that
Mr. Hartman arose and spoke as quoted.
Mr. Neeb wanted to get hit ordinance throngh
before the storm came, and thougb the others
generally seconded Air. Hartman's remarks
Jlr. Neeb kept pecking away, insisting on the
ordinance, until at last it was allowed to pass.
Mr. Knox wanted to tncluue all the streets.
Mr. McAfee said: "I believe that we must
first adopt a plan and get funds. I don't believe
in discriminating between the streets when all
are in such need of improvements. Rebecca
street needs paving.but so does Ohio street.and
so do many others. I see the papers have taken
up this cry of poor streets, and I think that it is
about time Allegheny awakens to the situa
tion.",' DEMAND FOB BETTEE STREETS.
"Yes, sir; funds are the first thing." said Mr.
Hartman. "Why, I have had no less than a
hundred people come to mo and say: 'Why
can't e have better streets?' 'What's the U3e
of ordinances without rnnds?' "
Committeeman Knox and a nnmber of others
joined in the advocacy of better streets and a
meeting to devise means of raising funds. Tbe
others did not object.
Before Comnnttenian Neeb conld leave tho
room he was button-holed and the matter
placed before him. Mr. Neeb had got his
ordinance through the committee and, having
won, was not inclined to kick about plans for a
general street-paving crusade.
It is expected that the matter will be pretty
well talked about before the special committee
meeting. A plan of raising the money will by
that time have been formulated, and the first
installment necessary decided upon.
KOT BOOM ENOUGH.
Increasing Necessity of a New City Hall In
Allegheny.
Jlayor Wyman, of Allegheny, said yesterday
that something must soon be done to relieve the
crowded condition of City Hall. The depart
ments have no room to work in, and there is no
way in sight of increasing tbe capacity.
The scheme to build an addition to the City
Hall has hung fire, and many are now of the
opinion that an addition is not what Is wanted.
They think it nould not he advisable, but in
stead the old building should bo razed and a
new one erected, from tho ground up. Under
the present status of affairs the authorities fear
that the building scheme cannot be pnsbed be
fore another year. In the meantime, it is possi
ble that some of the offices may be rearranged,
to use every bit of space to the best advantage.
ALL FOE A JUG OF BEEB.
A Colored Man Beats a White Man With a
Brick.
Robert Miller waa badiy beaten up by Thomas
Turner, a colored man, near Second avenue
and Try street, last night. Miller had been
drinking with Turner and another man named
Lewis. Turner was sent out for a jug of beer,
and when he got back refused to return the
change to Miller. They nuarreled. and Turner
picked up a brick, with which he pounded Mil
ler's face out of human resemblance
Agent Dean beard of the affair and arrested
the three men. Dr. Moyer was called and
dressed Miller's wounds, which he said were
not fatal.
CLUBS IS NOT TRUMP,
But Kleher's Pianos and Organs Are.
The pianos and organs sold by H. Kleber
& Bro. are too good and artistic to be oper
ated by means of clubs. They are made to
be played upon by the fingers and bands of
ladies 'and children, and by artists. People
who insist on using clubs need not apply at
Kleber's for the grand pianos ol Steinway,
Conover, Gabler, Opera, etc., are too far
above the vulgar level of club playing. If
you desire music to cheer the heart, elevate
the spirit, refine the feelincs, and delight
the listener, buy one of Kleber's first-class
instruments and possess a joy forever. The
Klebers sell, also, on time payments, $25
down and 510 a month or S- 50 a week.
The old trusted house of H. Kleber & Bro.,
50G Wood street, has the preference over all
others, and hence sells three-fourths of all
the instruments disposed of in this section
of country.

SPEEDY SOLUTION OF THE CLOTHING
HOUSE TROUBLE.
After Being Out of Work for Five Days the
Salesmen Get Nearly All They Went
After A Compromise Effected as to
Christmas Eve.
The Building Trades Council has been
snccessfnl in bringing about a settlement of
the salesmen's Btrike. Committees repre
senting the council and the Salesmen's As
sembly had an all-day conference with the
store proprietors yesterday at the Hotel
Schlosser, with tbe result that the merchants
practically yielded all tbe demands put forward
by the assembly in its new scale.
The salesmen conceded one holiday, and fur
ther agreed to work on Christmas Eve until 11
o'clock, if they were allowed to close at 7:30
o'clock instead of 8 o'clock through that week.
The mam point, that ot closing tbe stores one
hour earlier on Saturdays, was acceded to.
It was agreed last night that the proprietors
would not have so soon abandoned their posi
tion if it bad not been for tbe backing given
the salesmen by the Trades Council and other
organizations. That the organizations at large
so readily acquiesced in a movement for tbe
shortening of tbe salesmen's hours is regarded
as an outcome of tho geneial feeling in that re
gard pervading labor bodies.
A direct result from this sentiment will be a
more vigorous warfare on the part of organiza
tions acainst stores which do not employ nnion
men and handle non-union made goods. This
is a stipulation made by the store-keepers, and
it is has been recognized as a fair one. So far
from the storekeepers concerned in the strike
being affected by their tilt with the labor
bodies, they will profit oy the additional
amount of trade which will bo thrown Into thetr
hands through this sentiment. A united move
ment against non-union employes and non
union stores is we!l on foot, and the merchants
and traders who are perspicacious enough to see
tbe trend of events will be the earliest to profit
byiu
THE KNIGHTS' CONVENTION.
Delegates Leaving To-Morrow for Denver
for the General Assembly.
Two of the Pittsburg delegates to the 1800
General Assembly of the Knights of Labor
will leave for Denver to-morrow. Joseph
vans will represent District 3, and George A.
Kamback the green bottle blowers' assembly.
Louis Arrington was originally elected as the
blower.-,' delegate, but he has decided not to go,
and his alternate will represent that body.
Itis believed that Powderlywill be re-elected
if he seeks the office. There is known to be a
strong feeling against him, but the Jl aster
Workman is credited with tbe power of mak
ing tbe delegates turn at his will. The feeling
against him is still strong, and there are those
in this district who maintain thit even
should be rnn again for office that tbe Knights
will havo no more of him. John B. Rae, the
President of the United Mine Workers, is
looked upon as a man who would make a very
capable leader, and he will have a strong fol
lowing should he elect to run for the Master
Workmanship.
NEABING COMPLETION.
The American Window Glass Company
About Ready to Do Business.
H. Sellers McKce said last night that the
Eastern window glass men were forming a com
pany on tbe same lines as the United Glass
Company. He believed that they would be
absorbed by tbe American Window Glass Com
pany in time.
He thinks that the final arrangements for
launching the company will be perfected by
the next meeting, which will be held on the
25th. Everybody recognizes it to he a good
thing for the trade that this nlan was brought
about. Jobbers would be benefited In getting
goods under some degree of warranty, and
would buy on discounts according to the ex
tent of their purchases. Every manufacturer
will still retain bis individuality, and obtain
such prices as will follow on the quality of
his output.
Want an Advance.
The employes otthe Carrie Furnace will ask
for an advance in wages the 1st of January. It
is to rnn from 10 to 40 per cent. John Negley
and Andrew Love have been appointed a com
mittee to represent the employes. About 300
men are employed.
Working for Harmony,
Representatives from 25 potteries held a short
session in tho Monongabela Hotel yesterday,
and adjourned till to-day. The object of tbe
meeting is to form an association to bring tbe
trade into greater harmony and regulate prices.
Resumed, Pending Arbitration.
Tbe employes of tbe Frick Coke Comnany
have resumed, pending the settlement by arbi
tration as to whether Verostlc was illegally dis
charged. Off for New York.
Delegate Beck went to New York last night
to attend tho convention of the Marble Polish

WHY THEY PROTESTED.
Penn Avenne Residents Kicking Before
the Board of Viewers The Latter Ex
IdblU the Cost of Paving the Thorough
fare TVltb. Asphalt.
The Board of Viewers met tbe citizens of
Penn avenue, yesterday, those residing be
tween Point Breeze and the city line, or,
rather, accorded them a hearing on the sub
ject of the triple alliance proposed, by
which the city, tbe citizens and the Duquesne
Traction are to divide tbe cost of repaying the
avenue.
Tbe proposition submitted was that tbe Du
quesne Traction Company pave between its
rails with Belgian block, the rest of the pave
ment to be of asphalt, tbe cost of the latter to
be equally divided between the city and the
abntting property.
Tbe Board of Viewers submitted the follow
ing statement ol cost of tbo asphalt:
Pavins 18,875 yards, at SJ 45 SM.213 75
Carbine 4S3 lineal feet, at 75c 3i2 IS
Ke-settlne 10,41: feet ol curb, at Z5c 2,003 50
S'.IStOO
Deduct one-half cost paid by city 30.5K to
Amount to be paid by citizens i..t30,592 CO
Cost per foot front 2 45
The abunttcrs were out in force. They
looked over tbe plan, and, so far as could be
learned in the absence of oratory, were gener
ally disposed to kick like sons of freedom.
They decided to fight, and hold that it is not
legal that they should be made pay.
After talking the matter over for a time it
was decided that a meeting should be held on
Monday evening at the rooms of the Linden
Club.
For reasons best known to themselves, the
kickers who talked, objected to seeing their
nimesinnnnt, but one of them said: "We had
a contract with tbe city, and an agreement was
arranged for the pavement. The city proposed
Belgian block, but wo wanted asphalt. The
city was too slow to suit ns. but we finally got
a contract signed. Then tbe city made a con
tract with the Duquesne Traction Company to
have it pave the streets between Its track with
Belgian block. We object to the arrangement
generally, and do not want the street car tracks
on the ground at all."
WANTS TO FACE THE MUSIC.
The Defaulting Grand Treasurer of the Sov
ereigns Returns.
J. W. Patton, who went away in June, 1889.
taking with him over 81,400 which he held as
Grand Treasuror ot the Sovereigns of Industry,
has retnrned to his home in Lawrenceville.
At the time of his disappearance be held a po
sition as station agent lor the Allegheny Val
ley Railroad at Twenty-ninth street, and be
held several other offices of trust. It 13 alleged
that he was badly in debt. The Sovereigns of
Industry held a meeting a few nizhts before he
went away, and voted $500 to the Johnstown
Relief Commission. The check was returned
marked "no funds," and it was in this way that
Fatton's shortage was discovered.
The Grand Council meets to-morrow evening
but although Patton say he is home for tbe
purpose of abiding by the consequences, it Is
not likely that anything will be done. Patton
has but one arm and quite a large family, and
it is not thouebt any criminal action w'ill be
brought against him.

Layberger promised her boy a S700 piano some

was 24 yearn old.
Henry broke bis part of the agreement by
taking unto himself a wife at tbe age of 21,
and it is alleged he also took the piano. Hence
