Manager E. D. Wilt Promises to Put
Colonel Samuel Dawson in the
Western Penitentiary.
BIJOU AXD OPEEA HOUSE AT WAR.
Three Attaches of the Sixth Street Play
House to IlaTe a Hearing
for Conspiracy.
HOT STATEMENTS FUOH BOTE SIDES.
uh Charges the Other With Hiving Steles tad
Destroyed Lithogrtjbs.
The Bijou Theater and the Grand Opera
House are at war, and it is not the harmless
Jnnd with a background of painted scenes,
tut war to the knife with brilliant lithographs
lor the groundwork and primary cause.
Colonel Samuel Dawson, the advertising
agent ot the Bijou, is under arrest for con
spiracy preferred by E. D. Wilt, manager
of the Grand Opera II ouse. Anthony Kear
ney and Charles Barrini, two of the Bijou
lithographers, are in the same boat with
jVIr. Dawson, and all will haTe a hearing
to-day before Alderman McMasters. They
are each under $1,000 bail.
Manager Wilt charges the men with hav
ing torn up his lithographs.
Last night Mr. Wilt said: "A number of
things underlie the charge of conspiracy
There may possibly be a suit for damages.
All the trouble has commenced since Colonel
Dawson became advertising agent of the
Bijou. Some time ago I know he took a
wagon load of my standing boards and
floated them down the river. I could not,
however, prove positively that he did it be
cause he had the work done by outside men
at midnight.
OM.Y HEARSAY EVIDENCE.
"I did not prosecute because I have never
yet lost a law suit, and I will not bring one
on hearsay evidence. The Bijou men have
stolen my paper continually. How, I do
sot believe iu circus advertising, and am in
favor of using the newspapers. I have
crowded the lithographs down until I now
only put out 1,000 lithographs together with
tiie stands and three-sheets. When the
'Great Metropolis came here the agent,
Frank McClov, came instructed to do circus
billing whetner I wanted to or not. 1, of
course, refused, and then, at the company's
own expense, Mr. McCloy put out 4,000
lithographs and 30 stands.
"This was too much for the opposition.
On Friday when Henry Green, of the
'Boltom of the Sea" company, and Mr. Daw
son went out to see how their paper looked,
they could see nothing but 'Great Me
tropolis" paper. Green was mad and Daw
son, who bad swelled the heads of the Bijou
people on his advertising ability, was
scaled. He was afraid the Bijou manage
ment would see their agent at $50 a week
was a useless piece of furniture, when Wilt
with fewer men could out-bill him and still
stand up at night and sell tickets.
CHECKED BY A BIVAL.
"Then iu revenge he had 1,000 'wait
bills' printed. All his men were sent out
They took down the 'Great Metropolis pa
per, gave out the story that the "Great
Metropolis was busted, that the Opera
House would be closed, and that the people
should wait for the 'Superba.' They said
they were working for the Opera House, but
as tbey did not have any passes for the
Opera House Mr. Wilt had made arrange
ments to give out Bijou passes.
"Xot satisfied with stealing our paper
they have used my trade mark. The pen
alty for conspiracy is two years to the peni
tentiarv and I am confident of winning this
case. Why I have 100" witnesses to bring
up. The same thing was done in Cleveland
and the man who did it was yesterday sen
tenced a ear to the penitentiary.
"As tor the suit against me for putting
bills on telegraph poles, I was warned once
nna took the bills down. What were put
up last week were without my permission.
Telegraph poles everywhere are covered
with Yellow Dog Social advertisements,
patent medicine and newspaper cards. Then
on all areaways there are Bijou bill boards,
vet thev made me take my board down from
in front of my house. It lam fined I will
make the authorities bring down every loose
bill board and every card off the telegraph
poles. I will show them what war is. They
cannot make a target out of me without get
ting hurt."
THE COLOXEL STILL HArPT.
Samuel Dawson was found at his office in
the Bijou last night in his usnal happy
humor. He does not have any fears of
losing either his salary or bis liberty.
"The great cause of the matter was this,"
said Mr. Dawson. "The 'Great Metropo
lis' came to us, but we did not consider it
s-troni: enough to book. They found a place at
tlie Opera House. About that time I dis
charged throe litbograpucrs. anl two of them
were given crnploMnent by either Mr. Wilt or
r red McCloy, of the "Great Metrboolis. From
his compam Mr. McCloy received a telegram
to Ji tbo Bijou if it cost 1,001
"After billing the town splendidly, as usual,
for the 'Bottom of the Sea, I started out on
Friday with Mr Green, "lou couldn't have
told the "Bottom of the Sea' was to be played
in Pittsburg. All our paper had been torn
down, I believe bv the men wbom I had dis
charged. It looked as if the Opera House was
doing dirt, and iu retaliation some or our boys
may have taken down the Opera House paper,
bnt it was without orders from me.
"As for the "wait' bills tbey evidently have
done good for 'Superba' and tbey should not
complain. It mortified me to see so ranch good
paper deroyed, for each lithograph cost the
company 7 cents. Ever since I have been here
tiie lithographers have jumped on me because
I was a stranger, knew the advertising business
and was getting a rood salary. However, as
long as I remain I w ill try to keep the flies off
all the people wbo come up azainst me. Wilt
and the others have been outwitted and now,
like babies, the) arc crying dirt."
MAYOR GOTJRLEY'S REFORM.
The Usual Annual Keports Are Not Accurate
Enough to Please Him.
Mayor Gourley is moving a reform in the city
government by which the heads ot depart
ments will report to him twice a year instead of
once, and he will make two reports to Councils.
In outlining the matter yesterday Mayor Gour
ley said:
"I am not issuing any orders, but I intend to
confer with the heads of departments concern
ing their annual reports. Tbey report to me
each year in December, and with these
reports I give my annual address to Councils,
and on these tbe appropriation for tbe
coming jear are based. These reports
can only be made up for ten months in tbe
j ear. The expenses for tbe other two hare to
be approximated, as these reports are incom
plete. "1 intend to request heads of departments
for 1 have no power to order to furnish me
with complete reports for the year. Then I
will make another report to Councils, and at
the same time present all tbe reports of tbe
different departments. Of course this will
hat e no effect on tbe appropriation, but it will
be an exact report, which will be a guide for
citv legislation during the remainder of the
3 ear. This, of course, will all depend on tbe
action of the heads of departments. I will
also adocate the idea of having all the reports
printed in one volume instead ot having sepa
rate reports published. It would be more con
venient, and would save the city about $1,000."
Book Agent Stewart Finds More TrouWe.
F. 3L Stewart, the Wood street book agent,
wbo was arrested several days ago on charges
of false pretense preferred against him by sev
eral voung men who claim that they were
swindled out of $2 50 each, waived a hearing
before Alderman McKenna yesterday after
noon and entered bail for trial at the Decem
ber term ol Court,
THE LADIES WINNING.
LAST NIGHTS BALLOT ON THE WOMAN
QUESTION.
Emory and St. Paul's Churches Vote on the
Subject With Some Surprising Results
Not Very Much Interest Being Taken in
the Blatter.
The Methodist ladies surely captured the
day iu the ballot on the "woman question"
taken yesterday. AH along the line it was
favorable to the fair ones, though the line
was not very long. With all the voting pre
cincts heard from the ladies won by tbe very
handsome majority of 23 nut of 132 votes cast.
Tbe contests were only held at two churches,
the Emory and St. Paul churches in the EBt
End. At the Emory Church, on Peon avenue,
Itev. C. V. Wilson, pastor, tbe polls were kept
open from 7 to 9:15 P. M. and 93 votes were cast.
Or these 56 were ladies and they nervously
picked out their Dallot, it being an uncommon
thing for them to vote, while tbe 37 gentlemen
did up the work like a master hand. The ma
jority of tbe ladies voted on age,
"I'm so glad my birthday was yesterday,"
remarked one of the charmer"!. "I was so
anxious to vote and was afraid they would hold
the election too soon."
"My birthday came last week,' said another.
"I just want to show the men that I can vote as
w ell as they," and she deposited her ballot in
tbe box. "
The ladies stayed around the church a while
after having done their duty in the election.
Of course they talked, but in the majority of
cases the question under discussion differed
somewhat lrom the one voted upon. Some
times the men chipped in a few words and thus
the conversation got mixed. For instance:
"1 trimmed mine with blue ribbons," said a
very young lady.
"What, your ballot?" inquired a young man
wbo happened to join the crowd at tbat instant
and didn't know tbat fancy work was tbo sub
ject then under discussion.
And when tbe result was announced! One
young lady had been in the room where the
count was made andcamerunning out exclaim
ing: "Guess bow it came -out!"
"We won" and "we lost" were the replies
from every hand, and then when the little mes
senger announced that "we really did win"
there wasn't so much as the faintest applause.
There were a lew long-drawn-out "a-h-h's" and
that was alb
Tbe result was pretty much the same at St.
Paul's Church, on Liberty avenne, Rev. B. F.
Bcazell, pastor, though not quite so many votes
were cast. 1 here are about 200 m the church
eligible to vote, and only 3SJ voted, the result be
ing SI tor and 15 against lady representation.
Tbe vote was taken after tbe regular weekly
prayer service.
One of tbe laymen said last night while the
vote was being taken at the Emory Cbnrch
that the question was not very interesting, and
that it would require a two-thirds rote at the
Conference to allow the ladies a sitting. For
this reason he thought tbat tbe vote would not
have very much weight, no matter how it goes.

Superintendent Stephen Collins Tells Why
His Resignation Was Accepted.
Tbe resignation of Mr. Stephen Collins.
Superintendent of Mails at the Pittsburg post
office, was accepted yesterday by Superin
tendent Bell, of the Railroad Mail Service at
Washington. Mr. Collins sent in his resigna
tion when a Democratic administration went
into power, but at tbe earnest request of Post
master Larkln. who appreciated the value of
Mr. Collins' efficient services, the postoffice
officials took no action and pigeon-holed it.
It is stated unofficially tbat tbe acceptance of
tbe resignation now is due to Mr. Collins' ab
sence from bis post without leave. In speak
ing of tbe matter, Mr. Collins said: "I attribute
tbe action mostly to the fuss raised over the
Jr. O. TJ. A M. matter in tbo late election. A
trap was laid for me, and I unwittingly fell in to
it. I did not send tbo circulars out as an offi
cial. Tbey were regular campaign documents
and I had to send to headquarters to get them
when thev w ere applied for. I could, if 1 had
thought, just as well have sent tbe applicant
to headquarters for them. This, I think, is tbe
chief cause for accepting a resignation I sent
in four years ago. I have not been squarely
treated."

Central Station Proves a Haven for a
Stranded Miner's Family.
Mrs. John Farmer and five children, ranging
In age from 1 to 13 years, came from her home
at Mcrrell, near Connellsviile. last evening, and
was in great distress of mind. She expected
her husband, wbo is a consumptive, andlier 1S-year-old
son to meet her at the depotbut they
failed to do so and she has no idea of their
whereabouts.
John Farmer has been employed in the mines
at Morrell for 14 years, but recently developed
consumption, which compelled him to stop
work. His eldest daughters kept the family by
working out as domestics, and at tbe requestof
one of these, employed in a restaurant in this
city, they decided to move here. Mrs. Farmer
sold the household effects on Monday and sent
her busband to Pittsburg, with instructions to
meet her at the tram yesterday afternoon,
wben she arrived with the rest of the family,
bhe did not find them at the depot and could
not find them elsewhere, bbo turned then to

TO ASK PAPA'S FOBGIVENESS.
The southside Couple, tVho Eloped Last
Tuesday, Return Home.
Joseph Dobson. ot the Southside, who eloped
with Miss Annie Ackerman last Tuesday, has
returned. Miss Ackerman did not return with
him; instead he brought with him a lady whom
he introduces as Mrs. Joseph Dobson.
The couple started out to have a romantic
time while they were absent, and succeeded
admirably. After skipping without saying
goodby to anyone, tbey went to Voungstown.
Tbey failed to obtain an obliging person to tie
the knot in that town, and were compelled to
jonmey to Jameston n, N. Y. They are back
now, and tbough papa and mamma have not
yet sGen them, the old, old scene will probably
follow.

ing, when he has promised to send the invita
tion. The Rev. Father Sheedy said last night a

they could secure an earlier date. He said tbe
object of tbe tour was to raise money for elec
tion purposes in Ireland.

A Canal Sure to be Constructed Be
tween Pittsburg and Erie.
THE WAY TBE WORK IS TO BE DONE
State Canal Commissioners Meet to Discns3
the Subject.
W. L. SCOTT MAY BUILD IT HIMSELF
The Ship Canal Commissioners met yes
terday at the office'of the president, Captain
John A. "Wood. All the members were
present and they were in session about two
hours. Though nothing definite was done
toward preparing a report in regard to the
proposed canal, a full aud tree discussion
relative to the project was had.
"You must understand," said Colonel T.
P. Roberts, one of the commissioners, "that
we' are simply a board to lay out a line for
tbe proposed canal. We simply make sug
gestions. Our report must go to the Legis
lature; that is, it will go to the Governor
aud by him it will be sent to the law
makers at Harrisburg.
"What have we done? "We have simply
gone ahead under the act of Assembly so
far as we can. We have maae topographi
cal maps and have gone over the route of the
canal we propose to dig. Colonel Goodwin,
the engineer, told us just how we stood, and
illustrated his meaning with a set of maps!
SHOWIKO THE OBSTACLES.
"Iu those maps are shown the entire line
of the proposed canal by the way of tbe
Heaver river from this city to Lake Erie. They
contain all the obstacles tbat would be en
countered, or likely to be encountered, by the
construction of the line. These maps show
the railroads, rivers and creeks, elevations and
depressions, towns and villages, together with
all tbe coal land, developed and undeveloped,
tbat Is tributary to the water way.
"These maps," continued Mr.Roberts, "show
the distance bv this route to be 102 miles from
Rochester to Erie, a very short routo and al
most an air line. This fact can better he ap
preciated when it is considered tbat the State
line from tho Ohio river to Lake Erie is 80
miles."
Colonel Brewer, one of the members of tbe
commission, said he thought their system of
slack water would increase the stage of water
here by at least 2 feet, making it 9 feet. If the
State or the national Government refused to
make an appropriation for the work, he
believed that it could be done and would be
done by capitalists of Pittsburg.
A CHANCE FOB CAPITALISTS.
A vcar ago William L. Scott said that if the
State did not build the canal ho would guaran
tee to organize a company that would do the
work. In Colonel Brewer's opinion the invest
ment would be a good one. Colonel Koberts
agreed with Colonel Brewer in this statement,
believing that there must be an outlet to the
lakes for the trade that centers about Pitts
burg. The commission meets once a month, and tbe
President, Captain John A Wood, expects to
be able at tbe next meeting to have his report
ready for tbe signature of bis fellow members.
Wben approved it will be sent to tbe new Gov
ernor and br him turned over to the Legisla
ture for such action as they may see fit to take.
THE MONEY ASSURED.
Mr. Brewer Says the World's Fair Will be a
Success The Various States Preparing
Their Exhibits Sources of the Fund
Supply.
E. Brewer of Erie, a member of the Erie
Canal Commission, is also Assistant Secre
tary of the "World's Fair. Mr. Brewer has
been at work in Chicago for the last three
months. Ho was here yesterday attending one
of the regular monthly canal meetings. He
will return to the Windy City on Saturday.
Mr. Brewer states there will be plenty of
money to run the Fair. Tbe city of Chicago
has issued bonds for So,VOO,000, and tbe credit
of the town is such that tbey Hill betaken at
par. The buildings of tho Paris Exposition
cost $9,000,000, and Mr. Brewer thinks all the
neccssarv work at Chicago can be done for
911,000,000, which amount of money is forth
coming. At present the commission is busy organizing
the various States. At least (20,000.000 with the
exhibits are expected from this quarter. He
says the Chicago people look for much from
Pennsylvania, because the Centennial was held
at Philadelphia. Iowa has alreadv subscribed
550.000; California several hundred thousand,
and Texas is being organized. These three
States propose to make magnificent exhibits,
and the others are expected to follow.

A BROKER'S SCHEME.
Stirring Up a Temporary Panic to Make
Business for Them.
"Tho panic in New York is a flurry stirred up
by the brokers," said R. Thompson, a Wall
street banker, at the Duquesne yesterday in
explanation of tbe rocent financial storm.
"When things run smoothly there is no money
in the business for the brokers, and the fellows
on Wall street have been high and dry for three
months. To kick up a dnst and make a noise
and take advantage of the scare is always their
game, and this is what tho boys are doing now.
"Tbe reappearance of Jay Gould on the
street was the signal for operations. They
spread abroad tbe report that something was
going to drop, and succeeded in scaring a good
many people. When tbe proper time comes
they retreat and carry off with them the spoils.
The money market is solid, and there is no
danger of a panic. Legitimate business will
not be affected."

Opera piano, or a Buraett or Eartniff organ,
is always preferred, for the opinion of Mr.
Kleber is looked upon as final and conclu
sive. Hundreds of people have made tbe
remark: "Oh, I wish I had called on you
first aud bought an instrument of you," aud
then they beg the Klebers to take the piano
or organ which they bought elsewhere off
their hands and exchange for the superior
ones at the latter place. Klebers' prices are
$25 to f 50 lower than those of other dealers,
and (heir terms of payment are easier.
While other dealers sit around complain

busv as bees. Don't fail to call at Kleber's,

THEY CAME TO KICK.
Some of the Demands to "e Hade by
the General Grievance Committee.
SOME MEMBERS EOT HERE TET.
What Local Leaders of Think of Mr. Pow
derly's Address,
THE DAI'S DEIPT IX LABOE CIRCLES
Tim hn sin ess of the General Grievance
Committee of the Pennsylvania system west
of Pittsburg, finally came Into tne posses
sion of a Dispatch reporter last night.
The committee is here for tbe nurpose of
formulating a petition to the officials, ask
for an adjustment of wages and containing
a list of grievances against certain officials.
To be more explicit, the men have a peti
tion to present asking that a day's work on
all divisions shall be a certain number of
hours. On some divisions at present a
man's overtime begins after he has been out
nine hours. On a run like the one between
Pittsburg and Alliance this would be the
case. On other runs, such as from Alliance
to Crestline, Crestline to Ft. Wayne or Ft.
Wayne to Chicago, the time is extended.
The farther West the longer the runs. On
some of the divisions 'a man is out 14 honrs
before his overtime begins. One of the de
mands to be made is that the honrs shall be
uniform.
COMPLAINTS AGAINST OFFICIALS.
There are other matters pertaining to the
wages question upon which the committee
will have something to say. There are a
number of grievances to be presented against
a number of the yardmasters, train dipatchers
and division superintendents. The natnre of
these grievances is yet a secret, hut they will
all be laid before the general officers boforo the
end of tbe week.
The committee has not been able to get down
to solid business yet, owing to the failuro of
about IS of its members to get here. There
was a mistake iu the notices sent out calling
the committee together. The dates were
mixed, some being told that the meeting was
called for yesterday and others tbat it would
be held to-day. However, the division com
mittees all had meetings and talked over tbe
work before tbem. This will be an advantage
tn thfl CAnflral committee, as CVerVbOdV Will
know about what is to be done and the work
will be completed more rapidlv.
A call was made at the office of General
Superintendent Watts, of the Northwest sys
tem, but he was not in. Mr.Webster.his chief
clerk, said tbey had not yet received any of
ficial notification of their Grievance Committee
being in the city and he did not think they
were here, as he knew of no dissatisfaction
alnni their line. A call was also made at the
office of General Manager Wood, but he is
still absent from the city.
MUST HAVE A HEABING.
A member of tbe Grievance Committee said
last night: "The Ft- Wayne officials would
like to make it appear tbat their men are not
interested In this meeting, and Mr. Wood's ab
sence from the city is explained when I say he
is ont along the- line trying to keep his men
away from our committee. Bnt they are here
just the same, and he will find out whether his
men have any grievances or not."
"When will your committee be ready to pre
sent your grievances?" was asked.
"I could answer tbat. bnt I don't want to let
the officials know when we are going to call on
them," was the reply.
One thing that indicates there are quite a
number of division superintendents slated for
a complaint from the committee is tbe fact
that tbe latter is overstepping the general rule,
which provides that where grievances arise
tbey mnst first be presented to the division
superintendent, and if an adjustment cannot
be secured it goes before the general superin
tendent. In this case tbe committee is coming
to the general superintendent first.
There are 12 division superintendents in all
and two general superintendents. One ot tbe
latter is J. F. Miller, whose headquarters are
at Columbus, and who has nnder him the seven
division superintendents on the Panhandle.
Mr. Watts is the other, and ho has jurisdiction
over the five division superintendents on tbe
Ft. Wayne.
The committee will meet again this morning
atlOo'clockwhenit is expected the full com
mittee will be present.
WHAT THEY TBTHK OF IT.
Local Labor Leaders Talk About Mr.
Powderly's Address.
General Master Workman Powder! j's annual
address, as printed in yesterday's Dispatch,
created considerable discussion In labor circles.
It can hardly be said tbat tbe address was con
sidered a very wonderful product, but it con
tained enough to set the people talking any
way. Ex-Master Workman Ross, of D. A. 3. said:
"As a whole 1 don't tblnk much of the speech.
His suggestions about opening up the way for
a discussion of tariff and free trade is all right,
but it will not result in any good. Three-fourths
of our people are free traders anyway and all
the discussion that might be indulged in for ten
years will not change them. He did not throw
much light on tho Central strike, and I do not
believe be said anything that will help the
C2LUSC '
Cal'Wyatt said Mr. Powderly shonld have
left the Central strike alone. "Every time the
subject is brought up it brings to view a defeat
to our organization and every defeat means a
greater struggle next time."
Another labor leader said: "If Mr. Powderly
were to express his honest opinion he would say
he is a protecnonist, but he has not the courage
to stand np before the General Assembly and
say that."'
TEG SALESMEN'S GRATITUDE
Tendered to Those Who Aided Them In
Securing Shorter Hours.
The Salesmen's Assembly, K. of L., held its
first meeting last night since tbe strike. Among
other things acted upon was the passage of the

COULDN'T BEAT HIM.
Congressman Atkinson Tells How He Was
Ite-Elected Hard Fight Made Against
nim by Disappointed Postoffice Appli
cantsQuay an Ahused Man. I
Among the guests who arrived yesterday
morning to attend the meeting of the Loyal
Legion was Congressman Louis E. Atkinson,
of Mifflin. Mr. Atkinson has a round, smooth
face that beams with intelligence. He is a
cripple and walks with crutches. Speaking of
late political events, he said: 'T was among
the Congressmen re elected. I have been in
the House since 18S2, and had fully made up
my mind to retire, bnt 1 will never retreat
under fire. When my political enemies began
to assail me, then I was ready for the fray, but
even after I was nominated I hesitated for
some time before I accepted it.
Some of my opponents went home and
stirred np a fight against me: every disap
pointed applicant for a postoffice, and there
wero many ot them, was mad, but with it all,
here I am elected, and I don't think anybody
will try to throw me out of my seat. IseeDal
aell had a good majority. I notice that where
men had few postofilces to dispose of they bad
an easier time of it. There is not much danger
of this House carrying ont their throats to un
seat members. The leaders will have their
bands full to line up the present majority, and
they will make an effort to be exceedingly
careful to do nothing that will invite criticism.
"I think Senator Quay has been a much
abnsed man. At one time he was very influen
tial before tbe assaults were mado on his
record. Whether true or false a man is never
as strong as he was before the attacks. I think
Dalzell had a right to name the Postmaster
here, bnt Quay told me that the Congressman
had selected an enemy of his and he wouldn't
submit to that. I don't believe the late
elections will have any effect in 1S9X"
STEWART'S SMALL MAJ0EITY.
