THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 19. 1S9CT :m .' W WOK SLOW On the Kew Government Building, According to Superintendent of Constrnction Malone. LETTIXG OF CONTRACTS DELAYED. Uncle Sam Has 450,000 Worth of Work on the Interior let to be Dealt Oat to Someone. THD ROOF COXmCTOUS CALLED DOWN. A Etrorg Letter Sent to wsshiogtoa Asking THt They be Prodded Uj it Oiee. 9 It is something of a tax on the memory of people in Pittsburg to turn back to the time when there was not a kick about tbe new Government building. Political upheavals have astonished the nation since the first lick of work was done for its foundations, and empires have been revolutionized since a forest of pine timber was driven into the earth for its massive body to rest upon, but the Govern ment building chestnut runs on seemingly like the brook most people have either heaid or read about. Pounds and pounds ot brain tissue have been squandered in trying to find out why the magnificent structure was not completed, but all to no purpose. A Dispatch le porter struck a lead yesterday aiternoon, however, that throws considerable light on the subject, and will aid in clearing up the dark secret. Superintendent Jlalone was found in his office, looking just as serene as it no intimations bad been thrown out that his official head was in dan ger. He said he knew nothing of the Wash ington rumor and at first was not inclined to talk. After some persuasion, however, he changed bis mind, and made some very interesting and important statements. He said that whoever authorized that part of the Washington story to the effect that he was not pushing the work as rapidly as he possibly could did not understand the sit uation. CONTRACTS YET TO BE LET. "Xow let me tell you, to begin with," he continued, ".ill this work is being done by contracts, which are let out by the Treasury Department, and 1 have nothing whatever to do with this p.irt of the business. After they are given out, it then becomes my duty to see that the work is dooe properly, and with all due speed. It is true that a great deal of work yet remains to be done, and I will give you some facts showing this is soi Contract- for the interior iron work, amounting to 56,000, and for the plumbing and gasfitting, amounting to 31.000, were let within the last four weeks. The con tract fur the plastering, amounting to 550, 000. was let about six weeks ago, and the woik is now well under way. The contract for heating, amounting to $110,000; that for the interior work, such as carpentering and painting, amounting to 300,000: that for the ipproaehes and platform, amounting to S25.000 or over; that lor three elevators and other minor details, amounting to 16,000, have not been let yet. "So, vou see, that of 137,000 worth of work let within the last few days, as it were, most ot it is being pushed right along, and the balance will be started as soon as possi ble, possibly this week. The total work yet to be contracted for will cost 451,000, and of this I iiave nothing whatever to say. That rests entirely with Uncle Sam. THE I'.OOF LOXG OVERDUE. "Here is another feature of the situation: The Pennsylvania Construction Companv secured the contract for putting on the roof and doing the iron work in the same. The date of its contract lias already expired, and still the roof is not completed. Kovr 1 have written the company several letters and had several pergonal iutcrviens with its officials urging in the most posi tive terms that the work be finished, but to uo avail. After exhaustinr every re source in mv powpr, I finally noiiScd the de partment last week that if the company did not pat on a larger force of men at once, in order ti hurry matters along. I would advise that the contract be taken from them, as the roof would not 1j m bi-fore the close of the building tea'on, and there the matter rests. "1 o how you w hat e have been dolng.1 will sav that with the roof hut panially completed we havegot all the flooiarcliesin.all the tile con cretins on the fliort. completed, all the gas Iiprs in. all the water tanks on the top stcrv. a large amount of the ronch plumbing finished, and ail of tho fire-proofing to the ironwork complete. Jn addition to this, all of the der ricks have heen taken from the roof and the yard are full of timbers, as you can see. Now, if von can Micget liou I can hurry matters up anv. I would be pleased to hear from you." The leportcr ""passed" on this proposition, but molei!v inquired of the Snnerintcndent if he had any idea when the building would be out of the terrapin and ready for occupancy. DUTIES Or THE SUPERINTENDENT. "There i on go again." came the reply. "Have 1 not just finished an explanation of the situa tion to J ou? My duties are to superintend the contractors, as I said before, and as fast as the wore i let I use eery effort to hurry them along." Jlr. Malone quoted from bis last annual re port, showinc that a big lot of work had been clone during the jear ending September 3U. Ahwdi other things was the laving of 37.608 cubic feet of granite masonry, three-fourths of the cleaning down and poiutinc, hoisting four heavy derricks to the roof, renewing all the running ro.e. the old ones liavinc rotted out, putting in four new booms, laying 850,250 bricks, and other work of more or Ies magnitude that would fill a column of space to enumerate, and during this period the winter months bad to be taken into consideration. In conclusion. Mr. Malone said the authori ties at Wa'Mncton had heen paving close at tention to affairs here, and that officials bad made repeated visits during tho vear, so that they were familiar with all the details. POSTHASTES H'ZEAN BETUBNS. T!o Secnred the Privilege of Slaking Many Needed Repairs. Postmaster McKean arrived home from Washington yesterday morning. He did not know Superintendent Malone, of the Govern ment building, was to be removed, but inti mated there was some dissatisfaction. lhe Postmaster said his only business in Washington was to get permission to improve the heating arrangements of the present office, pnt in more tables and put storm doors on the different entrances. All this was secnred. becretarv Windrim is in Chicago and Post master McKean expects him to stOD off in Pittsburg on his return.

ENDED IN JAIL. UNEXPECTED TERMINATION OF AN ELOPEMENT. A Young Man of 35 and a Girl of 14 Seek Happiness Against Mamma's Wishes A Bogus Father Used to Obtain a Marriage License. Frank Jakuboski, a particularly intelli gent and educated Pole, is now languishing in the county jail, as the result of loving too long and well. The charge preferred against him is abduction. Ills lady love, Maria Washloski, has also come under the ban of the law for perjury. Frank Jabuboski boarded with Sirs. Washloski, on West Carson street. The young man fell in love with Marie, and was very at tentiveso much so that Mrs. Washloski be came exasperated, and ordered him to leave the house. Jakuboskl did as toldabont two wceksago. This, however, did not stop him in arranging meeting with the girl. About a week ago be succeeded in getting her to promise that she would marry him. On Friday last Jakuboski and tbe girl weut to the Court House to get a marriage license. As soon as she had told the marriage license clerk her age she was informed that she would have to get the consent of her parents. They were not to be disappointed by thi-, but left tbe Court House and returned with a man who claimed to be her father. Miss Washloski was sworn and sho gave her age as ID. The stranger they had brought in was sworn and he said that be was tbe girl's father. Everything seemed to be all right and a marriage Hceno was granted the couple. Instead or getting married at once the couple began making arrangements, which took nearly two days, to celebrate the event. Mrs. Wash loski is a person who pys a great deal atten tion to the reading of the daily papers. She was astonished on Saturdav morning to see that her daughter and Jaknboski had been granted a marriage license. When her daugh ter returned in tbe evening she asked her about the matter, when she admitted ner promise to marry Jaknboski. She then ordered her daughter to stay at home until she would go to market. Instead of goine to market she went to Alder man Kinc's office and asked his advice in re gard to the matter. She was advised to enter suit against her daughter and JaKiibnkl. Sic tben mado an information against her daughter, charging her with perjurv and Jakubosti with abduc tion. Miss Washloski was arrested yesterday and committed to jail for a bearing. Jakuboski was asked who the man wis that was nith blm at tbe marriage license office. He said that be did not know who he was, but had met him while standing around the Court House. When asked to give a desenption of bim, Jakuboski said he didn't think anyone had a risbt to know, and therefore would not tell. Tbe case will be given a hearing before Alderman King in-day. JEWELRYJ0 SPARE. A Stranded Theatrical Company Appeals to Ed hmitli for Help The B.&O. Accepts Their Property as a Deposit for Tickets to New York. Like Solomon in all his glory, Division Passenger Agent Smith, of tbe Baltimore and Ohio road, was gorgeously bedecked yesterday. He carried a watch or two in every vest pocket, and he had rings, studs and other golden jewelry to spare. His place of business had been turned into a pawn shop, and as he carelessly played with a big diamond Mr. Smith sighed as he thought that he might soon have to give up his suddenly ac quired treasures. In a rear room were four large trunks loaded down with all sorts of sbow paraphernalia. A stranded opera company told the story. The poor girls were left without a cent and the long line of railroad ties from Pitttsburg to New York made their hearts sink. They had property, jewelry and other trinkets they were willing to deposit for tickets, bnt none of the pissenrer men cared to run the risk ot having them redeemed. Finally they struck Ed hmitb, and his tender heart was touched with their tale of woe. First they opened tbe big trunks to show bim what they had, and an as sortment of fine wurs was placed on a table. "I see. said ono of the girls, "Ion hare a good beard, but if yon ever shavo it off and w e don't redeem the goods, no trouble to slip ono on. See," and she placed tbe hlrsu'o apparatus against her face. Then tney pulled out silk dresses and dress suits, and tenderly laid them down before tbe astonished passenger man. One trunk contained vases and other little articles used for setting oil a stage, and after they had gone over all their property, thev chimed in a lachrymose chorus. "Oh, Mr. Smith! Won't you let us have the tickets for the contents of tho trunks." This apneal was too much for the passenger agent, and be consented. In addition, they loaded him down with jewelry, and this is the reason why E 1. Smith wore so many rings and was well supplied with time pieces, yesterday. "Well." be said, with a smile, "I guess I won't lose anything, if tbe girls fail to redeem their property." CHAHGED WITH CRUELTY. A Father Held to Answer for Maltreatment or Ills Child. Charles Wilbelm, who lives with his family on Cnarles street, near Taggart, Allegheny, was taken into custody yesterday by Dave Holmes, Alderman Braun's constable, and Michael J. Dean, Superintendent of the Humane Society, charged with cruelty to his little 9-year-oln girl. Tbe story as told to the Alderman was that last Sunday afternoon three young men who were passing along Charles street saw Wilbelm chase the child from his honse into tho yard, having in bis band a blacksnake wbip. The girl was screaming, but the J oung men, though they saw no blows struck, reported the case to Superintendent Dean, who had the warrant issued, Wilhelm denies the story of cruelty, and savs that he only intended to frighten the child when he was seen running after her with a whip in bis band. Nevertheless, he was held in $300 bail for a further heariug Friday even ins. AGAIKST THE WOELD'S FAIR. Gustavo Lindcntlial Says It is a Waste of iincrgy and Money. Gustave Lmdenthal. of thiscitv, was one of the engineers who helped to make the Phila delphia Centennial in 1S76. He says he agrees with Senator Vest that the memory of Colum bus could be honored in a more dignified and beneficial way than by holding a World's Fair. "Such, shows are a wonderful waste of energy and means," he said last evening, -'and I wouldn't be surprised if no fair was held if the wrangling m Chicago is kept .np much longer. I remember we commenced to dig the foundations lor tbe Centennial buildings in tbe spring of 1874, and when it was opened in May two years afterward it was not completed. They worked at ituntil the summer was half over. These displays may please tho crowds that look at them, but I don't think tbey develop the trade ot tbe country." FUENIIUEE HEN BANQUET. Tho Annual Meeting of the Pittsburg and Allegheny Exchange. Tbe Furniture Exchange of Pittsburg and Allegheny held its annnal meeting and ban quet at tbe Seventh Avenue Hotel last even ing. Thirty-four firms were represented, aud the organization consists of 43. Since the meet ing last year four firms have dropped out.

They began flghtiug, and two valuable Scotch terriers were killed. The men left, and Jackson entered tbe house and appropriated a gun and ring. Fawcett began to inquire around, and Jackson sent the gnu back. Important. The defeat of Delamater has not induced us to shut shop, as our good President, Gar field, said, "God still reigns, and the Got ernment at Washington still lives;' and as a proof of our confidence in that Govern ment, we have just bought one of the largest assortments ot musical instruments in the two cities. Just call and see them. Stringed instruments of all sorts a specialty. Gaxlihgee's, 1200 Penn ave., 1200. Lowest prices. wsu AFTER A MEW BRIDGE. Movement lo Span the River at Sonlh Twenty-Fourth Street. BUSINESS MEN ARE K0W AROUSED. A Chance for Southsiders to Catch Trade Across the Stream. BIG MATTER FOB COUNCILS TO STODI By numerous interviews yesterday, it was learned that Mayor Gourley's announce ment that he proposes in his official capacity to declare and- fight for free bridges and a new Soutbside bridge has had the effect of lionizing him in the estimation of tbe South side residents. It was further learned ihat the Mayor's suggestion lor a bridge at South Twenty fourth street is the direct result of a de termined movement by prominent citizens of the Soutbside in that direction. Soutbside residents in general are all interested in free bridges, but have also sud denly taken up, with live interest, the pro ject for a new bridce also. The move for the Twenty-fourth street bridge is a mighty one. It is cited that the proposed bridge is an absolute, necessity for the present needs of the Soutbside and its future growth and prosperity. A long list of names of prominent men, representing all the business interests of the Southside, and all of whom favor the build ing of the bridge, was yesterday given The Dispatch. These men point out how the bridge would benefit the business interests of the Southside, more closely amalgamate that part of the city and many other far sighted provisions for fostering the growth and progress of the whole city. TALK ABOUT A SEW BRIDGE. The new bridge scheme has been talked over at the clubs, on the street and at social gatherings, and its promoters are in earnest this time. They will not leave a stone un turned, both to obtain the new bridge and bavo the others made free. The Mayo." by acceding to the request of the Southsiders to have the matter brought officially before Councils has touched a chord of hope, bnt ambitious Southsiders will not let tho matter rest tbero. Tbey have rea son to believe, as docs they Mayor, that by tbis time the members of Councils have become awakened to tbe justice of free bridges, and that tbe matter will receive attention in con junction with tbe move for tbe new bridge. Ihe question now involved is, if the city can not afford to make all the bridges free, should the present bridges be bought first, or tbe pro posed one built? Many say that, as the new bridge is a necessity, it snould be built first, and tbe others then be bought as last as pos sible. At the Lotos Club there is a large map that has been used in illustrating and explaining the benefits of the new bridge. In F. K. Gear inn's office is another map, with the proposed bridge marked on it with a blue pencil. Mr. Fred Gearing is one of the ardent advocates of the proposed bridge. Said he yesterday: PEOPEK PLACE FOB A VIADUCT. "Mayor Gourley made a mistake about tbe location of the bridge. He should have desig nated it at Twenty-fourth street instead of Twenty-seventh street. Now, look at tbis map. You see the plan is to put a bridge at Twenfy-rourth street, with the Pitts burg landing on Forbes street. Tbe approach on the 1'ittsburir side would be above tbe house tops. The Pittsburg landing or landings will be Y-sbaped. a curve extending to Second ave nue. Tne grades to tbo approaches wonld not be greater than thoso of any of the other bridges. Now. when ibat bridge Is built, the South side will be nearer to the park than any other part of the city. See hero." and Mr. Gearing measured the distance from the Southside to tbe park, and tben compared it with tbe dis tance from the Old City. The Southside had tho advantage by half, and was more accessi ble than any part of the Old City, Lawrence ville or East End districts. "But the question of being nearer the narks is not the onlyor the most important one," said Mr. Gearing. "It is the business possibilities that appeal most to tho promoters. If the bridge wcro built, and that district made acces sible from tho Soutbside. look at tho new ter ritory that would be opened up to the grocers, the contractors, the sandmen, builders, piano dealers, and, in fact, every branch of business. Now no one can go to that district without such a roundabout tour that the Southsiders will not make the attempt. A NEW FIELD TO BE OPENED. That section is sure to develop fast. If the bridge were built, many of the Southside mill workers would there find homes. A large and new field would be opened up to Soutbside business men, tbe parks would bo witblu easy access, and the whole city more closely amalga mated." The following is the list of names of some persons who favor building tbe bridge, with tbelr occupation as given thereon: John Iusscr. Jr., brewer: Samuel Connors, citizen: John Bradley, citizen: Alderman 31c Uaroy, AMcnnan Succop, Alderman lielnhauer, V. H. Stolinsuaugb, sand merchant; Herman liobrkastf, Kroccr; Arthur Wallace, citizen; Dr. K. A. Wood, Dr. il. A. Arnholt, Dr. Polloct, Dr. Hnrlelxh, Dr. Herman; U. F.

Livervmen Erney & Beck, Semtnelrock Brothers, Miller Brothers, Louis Klmmel, Bittner, Beinhauer. Dr. E. A. Wood is ono of the men who has long seen the necessity of a bridge at the noint named. The Soutbside is suited for big busi ness houses. Some day it is thought that the big warehouses will be crowded from Pitts burg. On account of the Southside beinz flat, with such convenient access to tbe railroads, it wonld bo an excellent location for a large dis tributing depot. The development ot the East End and tho new bridge would make the Sonthsido the most natural and accessible site for ware houses and large business concerns. A nnmber spoken to were not hardly decided whether tbey were willing to have the new bndgo built before tbe others were made free, but no one denied the necessity of the bridge. TO WORK IN HAEM0HT Tor the Ke vision of Laws Relating to Cruelty to Animals. At the regular meeting of tbe Humane So ciety yesterday afternoon, a resolution was passed directing President Eaton, of tbe soci ety, to arrange for a conference of the two humane societies of Pennsylvania to petition the Legislature to revise the laws relating to cruelty to animals A resolution was also passed directing tbe agents of tbe society to pay no attention to anonymous complaints, and that hereafter all complaiuts are to be strictly confidential. The receints for the past week of the society amounted "to $71. Jlrs. C. T. Fraser, Mrs. Joseph Morgan and H. H. Weaver, of Johns town, were elected members of tbe society. STABBED ON FIFTH AVENUE. Cab Drivers Engage in a Fight and Charles Small Is Slashed. Charles Small, Thomas or "Crooker" Kelly and Jack Foley, the two latter being cab drivers, got into a dispute on Fifth avenue, just above Smithflcld street, at 11 o'clock last night, during which Kelly drew a knife on tne other two. He stapped Small twice in the breast, in flicting slight wounds. Foley ran away and escaped injury andarrest. Small and Kelly were both taken to Central station by Officer Gallant.

A full description of tbe work was printed at the time. Three Boys Bid Bars Goodby. Harry Askine, aged 17, dark complexion, from Erie; Samuel Powell, aged 16, dark com plexion, from Bradford, and William Flick; acred 18 years, fair complexion, from Meadvllle, all escaped from Morganza Reform School yesterday, and the police are looking for them. MUST 0BEYJHE LAW. The Bureau of Health Calling Down Physi cians Who Fail to Report Infectious Diseases Promptly Universal Preva lence of Diphtheria Tills TalL Suit wis entered yesterday by Superin tendent Baker, of the Bureau of Health, against two physicians, who are charged with failing to report cases of contagious diseases. The iuformatiou was made before Alderman Gripp, and the physicians are Dr. S. W. Dinsmore, of 60 Main street, Sharpsburg; and Dr. W. D. King, of 32G Fifth avenue. Chief Clerk McKelvey, of the Bureau of Health, in speaking of the suits, said thev bad been entered under an act of Assembly of 18S3, which imposes a fine of $50 in all such cases. The case that Dr. King is accused of not reporting at tho proper time was one of diphtheria, at 439 Fifth avenue. Chief Clerk McKelvey said that this patient, Edith Hirt, took sick last Thurs day, and died on Sunday, bnt the physicians did not report tbe case until yesterday. In this case, as soon as it was reported, an inspector sent to the house, went so far as to destroy all tbe bedding and clothing belonging to the girl. Dr. Dinsmore is also accused of not report, inc a diphtheria case. His patient was a child of a man named Carr, who resides on Butler street, in the Eighteenth ward. Chief Clerk McKelvey says that the number ofci'osof diphtheria thit fall is much larger than that of last fall. During tbe past week there have been 38 cases reported. Tbe dis ease does not seem to be confined to any par ticular section of the city. Notwithstanding the number of cases reported is very larze, Mr. McKelvey says he thinks it wonld be much larger if every case was reported. He said: "Frequently we hear of a case where there was only a slight attack, wbicb had not been re ported. For this rei.son we intend to be moro strict abont tbe matt r, and to insist that every case of an infectious disease! be reported at once. In all cases where a physician wilfully neglects to report such cases we will enter suit against him." IN FAV0E OF BALLOT EEFOEM, Congressman Itolinson Commends the Recent N-sw York Law. Congressman-elect Jobn B. Robinson, ot Media, is very much In favor of ballot reform. In giving his ideas yesterday, at tbe Mononga bela House, he said: "The only hope for tho future is in a pure ballot. Boodle will no longer rule nolitics. When I first started out I had to go it on wind, and 1 got left. Cash and patronage did the work. It does require some money to maintain p irty organization, but the indiscriminate buyin: of votes, unless checked, will ruin the country. "I like tne New York law, recently passed. One feature of it I think is very commendable, and tuat is for any man who can sbow an in dorsement of COO voturs, tbe State will print his tickets and pay for his personal canvass. This will put tbo poor on the place of tbe rich, and give every citizen sin opportunity to test bis worth ana" popularity. Numbering the ballots in tbis State, whicli was intended tojircvent fraud, has destroyed secrecy, aud a reform is badly needed, and at once." Mr. Robinson may have bis eye upon the United States Senate, bnt he Is not making a fight for it. It requires 128 to elect, and Camer. ou will probably go into the caucus with 75 pledged to support him. TOOK EVEN HIS ETNfi. Jack Williams Picks a Pigeon and Gets Plcl ed HlmselC Jack Williams, a well-known Penn ave n no character, is in the Twelfth ward station house for robbing an Allezheny citizen.

A Man's Trick to Obtain Release From the Southside Jail. James Colbert was arrested for being drunk. When being put in the patrol wagon he cau tioned tbe men to look out for his arm, which be said had been dislocated. The men treated bim well, and finally took him to the Soutbsido Hospital. At the hospital tho surgeons could find no in jury at first, and finally put Colbert under the influence of ether.

He was taken again to the station, but was discharged at the morning bearing. CAME BACK AFTER FOUR YEARS, Return of a Lawrenceville Boy Whose Parents Thonght He Was Dead.

What is properly known as the lumber season of 1890 is about over, and it is esti mated that during the 12 months ending November30, local dealers will have handled over 400,000,000 feet of lumber, and that the number of houses erected in Allegheny coun ty during the year will be away up in the thousands. The supply of all kinds of lumber has been above tbe average, and yet the receipts have not been permitted to accumulate to any great extent around Pittsburg. Prices have not changed much, and for this reason many of the dealers would reserve their stock, if it were possible, until next season to see if there will be an advance or not. A tour was made among some of the local dealers, yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of learning what is the condition of the trade, and what tbe business of the year has been. Every dealer spoken to had a smil ing expression on his face and a twinkle in his eye, which indicated very plainly that he was not complaining about a dullness in trade. THE GREATEST OP ALL YEAES. "It's the greatest year, yet," said Owen Hutchinson. 'There is not much difference in priees. Flooring remains at 321, flS and SIR abont the same as a year ago, but the grado and quality are both much better and tho pur chasers are as a consequence getting better value for their money this year than last." Alex. Patterson said he had been in tbe lumber business a great many years, bnt be never knew trade to be in so heaitby a condition. Michigan pine is far in tbe lead among tho different woods used. Tho Southern pine is coining into greater demand, while the Penn sylvania product is falling r,S. A centleman in A. Sperrig's office said there hail been a great Increase in the price of hem lock. The advance has been from SO cents to Si a thousand. And this was very largely due to the condition of tbe roads in Western Penn sylvania last winter. Tbe northwest section of the State supplies tbe greater portion of the hemlock market, but owing to tbe condition in which tbe road' remained "for months, little or no hauling could be done. As a consequence up went the price of hemlock, and it seems to have lodged permanently. LOOKING FOK BAD EOAD3 AGAIN. After December 1, the dealers look for mnddy roads again, and the price of hemlock will either stay where it is for another year or go up higher. But tnis is not the only influence by which tbe present rates will be maintained. Year by year tbe sources of simply are carried further from the point of consumption, and as the demand increases so does the cost of trans- lortatiou. A large number of tbe shippers who iring lumber from the Michigan forests, now make two shipments: one to Cleveland by water aud tbe second to Pittsburg by rail. Tho cost is naturally greater than if it were brought from Elk or Forest county all the way by either rail or water. Of tbe 400.000,000 feet or more bandied In Pittsburg and Allegheny in tbe last year, it Is safe to say that one-quarter of tbe whole amount was handled by half a dozen firms. It is estimated that Murphy it Diebold disposed of at least 00,000,000. This firm has two mills. EllerA Breitweiser, of tbe Southside, probably handled 23,000,000. H. W. Ablers & Co.. N. Green & Co., and others sold about 10,000.000 a piece. THE CAEPENTEES' POSITION. They Have Not Commenced to Consider the Right-Hour Movement The Carpenters' Council held a meeting at S37 Smithneld street last nigbf. It was ex pected tbat tbe recent action of the Builders' Exchange would be acted upon in some man ner, but a resolution to take it upfor discussion was laid on the table. Atrent Irwin said after the meeting adjourned that the council would not do anything for the present. Said he: "The builders and con tractors acted on the supposition that because tbe painters are considering the matter of ask ing for shorter hours and more pay; that the men in all branches of the building business were doing the same. The matter of asking tor eight hours will not be considered by our people until after the first of the year, and I am not prepared to say whether tbey will ask for eight hours or not. "In the meantime, however, a conference committee which has already been appointed representing our council, and the Builders' Exchange will meet and discuss tbe situation. The matter may be settled without any de mands from our men." TWO IHTEEESTIIIG PAPEES Bead at the Meeting of the Engineers' So ciety Last Evening. The regular meeting of the Western Penn sylvania Engineers' Society was held last even, ing at tbe Academy of Sciences and Art, Fifth avenue. A large nnmber were present, Mr. W. ij. Scaife presiding. After the transaction of routine business a paper was read by Mr. E. Hyde. It was descriptive of a hydraulic ap paratus for the extraction of steel ingots from molds on the cars, which obviated any subse quent handling of cither molds or ingots: also hydraulic feed tables to expedite work and save labor at tbe rolls. Tho concerns were tbe inventions of Henry Aiken. Mr. Hyde illus trated bis remarks with diagrams showing in detail tbe intricacies of tbe machinery. At the conclusion of the discussion which followed as to the utility of the inventions, Colonel T. P. Roberts read a short paper on tbe discovery of cleavage planes in sandstone. AS OLD STOEY EEVIVED. TteportsThat the Green Bottle Blowers Will Go Out of the K. of I The rumor that L. A. 6111, K. of L., is to withdraw from the organization has been re vived again. As stated repeatedly in TheDis rxTcn, L. A. 6111 cannot withdraw from the K. of L. without" leaving its own organization, the green bottle blowers. It will be remem bered that at tbe last convention of tbe green bottle blowers an unsuccessful attempt was made to leave the K. of I., and L. A. 6111 was the instigator of tbat movement. , It is said by local K. of L. officials that they are merely keeping the matter agitated until the next convention, when their effort to with draw may be repeated. There will hardly be much" done at Friday night's meeting, how ever. IT WAS EXPECTED. Mr. Powderly's Be-Election Created No Surprise in Pittsburg. Tbe re-election of T. V. Powderly as General Master Workman of the Knights of Labor elicited neither surprise nor interest in labor circles yesterday. As stated exclusively in yes terday's Dispatch, Mr. Powderly was elected witbout opposition and this result was regarded as a foregone conclusion. The reduction made in his salary is considered a wise move by tbe majority of the local Knights. It is true Mr. Powderly has a great deal of work, but it Is also true that he gets all his traveling and incidental expenses paid, and j 600 is con sidered ample remuneration for a com petent man. Taking an Invoice. Tho work of takinzan invoice of the Alle gheny Bessemer Steel Company's plant at Braddock, which Mr. Andrew Carnegie bas purchased, was begun yesterday. As stated in The Dispatch Sunday, the works are valued at 11,500,000. p May Finish Up To-Day. The General Grievance Committee repre senting tho Pennsylvania Company's lines west of Pittsburg, will probably complete its work to-day or to-morrow. Until everything is done nothing official will be given out. Another New Furnace. Furnace "S" of tbe Monongahela plant will be blown in on Thanksgiving Day. Employ ment will be furnished to several hundred ad ditional men. Coal Substituted for Gas. The Clinton mill was started yesterday with the use of coal instead of gas under its boilers.

His Elopement to Cleveland, Followed br a Brief Honeymoon. GBATE CHARGES LADE AGAINST DIM An unnsnallv exeitinf domestic nnnt nr rather series of scenes, took place in Alle gheny last nignt, in wmen Jiax Voelker, an elecirician well known in both cities and in a number of surroundfng towns, played the leading part. Shortlv before 10 o'rloek a vnnn man of - - --- rather genteel address entered the office of tbe Captain of Police, and rather surprised the small company bystatingthat he wanted his wife. The Captain told Voelker that was quite a natural desire, but asked for fuller particulars. Voelker then told a story to the effect that some three months ago he married a young lady named Sadie Tudor. The marriage was against the wishes of the young lady's parents, and accordingly they they took a quiet trip to Cleveland, where the knot was tied. On their return they went to Belle vue where they took up their abode in a house on Sherman avenue. Voelker said the place was a nice one and all his own. According to his story they got along nicely until last Saturday, wben his wile took her departure for Allegheny, and found a home with her brother, Aaron Tudor, at No. 10 Main street. NOT FOND OFOtJNTET LIFE. Voelker says that the only dissatisfaction his wile ever expressed with her surround ings was that she was lonesome in the country and wanted him to return to the city to live. When Voelker learned where his wife was located he determined to see her. So last night he visited the house, after securing an escort of two policemen, and. as tbe door was opened, be walked in. followed bv the officers. Mrs. Voel ker's mother chanced to be present, and the ladies were greatly snrnrised at tbe appearance of tbe trio. Mrs. Voelker snddenly disappeared, and tbe interview not being satisfactory, "Voel ker 'ought police headquarters for advice. Captain Hell suggested tbat Voelker bad better wait until this morning, but this did not suit bim. Then the Captain told him that bis only recourse was to iry persuasion. Voelker left, and in about 20 minutes v ho sbonld walk Into the station bnt two policemen, arm In arm with the electrician. "Well, they have got me this time." he re marked to the Captain, and witbin the next five minutes he wai safely stowed awav in a cell, charged with disorderly conduct. He had been tnrncd over by arresting Officer Blanck to tbe officers who brought bim in, and they could not tell the story. A call was made at Aaron Tudor's residonce, where it was learned tbat Mrs. Tudor, in tbe absence of ber hnsband, and her female guests had been kept in a state of extreme fear and agitation all tbe evening, owing to Voelker's strange actions. THE STORT OF THE "WIFE. It was stated that when he first put in an ap pearance it was announced by a messengerboy, who banded in a note, which proved to be a re quest for his wife to meet him outside. She did so. and stated that Voelker wanted her to leave witb bim, saying he had rented a house in Allegheny. She refused, saying she wonld have nothing more to do with bim, and re turned to tbe house, remarking, as she entered, that Max bad another one of his fits of insan ity, the same as he bad a vear ago. Iheyhad had hardly reccovered their presence of mind when the call with tbe police was made. After his visit to the police station Voelker returned once more, this time being accom panied by two officers. He made some threats, but all in vain, and left. Shortly after this Airs. Tudor and her dancbter left for the former's home. No. 15 Second street. When at tbe corner of Main street and Madison ave nue Voelker confronted them, and haa just beenn to declaro himself in loud term when Officer Blanck loomed up and placed him nnder arrest. Tbe story of the etopment was confirmed by Jlr. Tudor. Mr?. Voelker stated that she left her husband becane be would not support her. She also alleged tbat Voelker carried away part of her clothing, and nsed money that ber brothers contributed for her support. The affair created considerable excitement on Main street. Voelker will have a hearing tbis morning. The greatest pain-annihilator of the age is Salvation Oil. Price 25 cents. Hugus & Hacke.
