DISPATCH. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 1S90. Ofl STANLEY'S TRAIL Fonr Gentlemen Will Leave This City Monday to Traverse the Great Explorer's Route. SAX THEY HAVE DETECTED FRAUD i Ana That by an Honest Investigation lie Can be Proven to Have De ceived the People. TBEI WILL DISPEXSE YYI1H SCOUTS, Etkirg en Httstuig's Products trd a. Pigmy Queen to See Them Throngh. Pittsburg is to have a real, live Stanley. It is not surprising that there should be some people imbued with the idea that the great explorer could be imitated with little difficulty, but that his accounts of the long travels through deserts and the wilderness and the hardships and starvations to which hispartvwas subjected should be doubted by the intelligent American public is more than has as yet been expected. However, on next Monday evening four young men who believe that Stanley is, in a measure, an impostor, will leave Pittsburg, taking with them a complete outfit for traversing the route over which Stanley traveled, and on Tuesday they will sail for Liverpool. The party will be composed of Michael Hawkins, of the Thirty-sixth ward, this city; JIartin Conway, a roller in Youngstown, O.; George Jackson, a roll turner in Akron, O., and Thomas Collins, another mill worker, of Cleveland. The young men are all single and have accumulated several thousand dollars, which they propose to "blow in" either ver ifying or disproving some of Mr. Stanley's statements. They have been reading all that the latter has written, and to them some of his tales are big fish stories, which they imagine can be counteracted by proofs collected from the natives. WILL FOLLOW STANLEY'S BOTJTE. To secure these proofs they must go over identically the same ground Stanley went over, see the same people he saw and get from their own mouths statements concern ing the various events treated upon by the Boted explorer. This is precisely what the party expects to accomplish. They are all inclined to disbe lieve Stanley's side of the Major Barttelot aBair and think they will hi ve no difficulty establishing their position in that matter. They arc not taking anyone with them to look after their personal wants, in case sickness or depression should sjt in, nor are they counting on making any extensive preparations for such difficulties as Stanley encountered. Thev exoect to find the trail left by Stanley's expedition along the hewn pathway through the great forest, and in stead of consuming many months in passing through they will cover the distance in a few weeks. They will capture a pigmy riueen somewhere along the way to rook for theni and will avoid all detentions afforded by encounters with boggy ground, elephant pits, cauuibal dens and the few other little misfortunes which made it necessary for Stanley to bid farewell forever, one by one, to the long-tried members of his party. They will take no chances, however, on striking Victoria 2?yauza in the dry season, and will probably lay in a good supply of eld Moaangahela with them. SMALL, BUT DETEDMIXED. In this and in many other lespects they will take advantage of the many good pointers furnished by Stanley. Altogether, the expedition, while being on a small scale, will no doubt be fraught with many interesting developments, and the public may look for much valuable and instructive information. The Pittsburg gentleman. Mr. Hawkins, who will help to mike up the party, was seen yester day liy a Dispatch renorter. To the latter he said: 'This may look like a large and an unwise undertaking, but the whole party are de termined upon making the venture. I believe that trip can be made. None of us may ever see 1'ittsburg again tani here the gentleman grew serious), and in fact we are all leaving with little hopes of ever returning, but no feel that the good that mar result from our expedition will f ullv make up for an sacrifices we may make. TLere is no reason why Pittsburg should not liave men who can dare and endure as much as fctanley ever did, and here are four men who have set themselves upon the trip. ' e will sail Tuesday for Liverpool. Prepar ations for our going have been in progress for three weeks and we will have everything in good shape bv the last of tins week. We will probably make a tourof Europe before going South, and we may see Italy before crossing into Afuca.' THE OIUECI OF THE Tltir. "Are you all conlidcnt of being properly pre pared for such a trip?" asked the reporter. Thorouzhlj s o," was Sir. Hawkins' reply. 'I don't know that any of us are very well edu cated, but e have read all Mr. Stanley has written, and we believe he has been "putting it D-n to a very large extent. X think we will be able to show to the American people that the trip can be made without so much fuss, with less misfortune, naidship or loss of life. What Stanley has done others can do, and we propose to demonstrate that Pittsburg can turn out people at guoo. as Stanley." After eeal more emphatic assertions that the paitv was bent on making the trip and as suring the reporter that he would keep The Dispatch readers posted on the result of their investigations. Mr. llankins said goodby and started for Cleveland to meet the other mem bers 01 the party, where final arrangements for the departure will be made to-day. The four gentlemen will come to Pittsbarg Saturday, leaving Pittsburg on Monday evening at 7:15 on the fast line. WILL HAVE THEM EHTOHCED.

THE CREED OF A VIRGINIA COLORED POLITICIAN. John 91. Langston's Definition of law and Order is of a High Character He May Contest the Congressional Election In His District. John II. Langston, the colored Congress man from Virginia, arrived' here last even ing to attend the Law and Order Convention. The official returns show that he was not re elected, bnt Mr. Lancston claims he had at least a majority of 5,000, and was counted out. He hasn't decided whether to contest or not. In either case ho never expects to sit in the Fifty-second Congress, but he would like to lay all the facts before the country. Concerning the Law and Order Convention, be said: "My creed is the Constitution and all it implies, the Ten Commandments and what Jesus taught in His Sermon on the Mount. Down my wav we are .not opposed to the sale of cooling drinks on Sunday, provided they are not alcoholic I am in favor of the enforce ment of law in its purest and highest sense. I have been invited to address the meeting, and I suppose one reason is that I am a temperate man." Mr. Langston is very bitter against Mahone. He savs his State is cursed with what he calls a perpetuity of Mahoneism, a Dossism so com plete that nothing like it is- known in the North. Virginia Republicans blame Quay for shelving the Federal election bill. Sir. Lang ston says the Democracy of the South regarded it as a backdown, and it helped mightily to de feat the Republican narty, but he thinks thing wiil right themselves by 1802. Ho favors a Federal law that will apply to the whole country, ard.will insure a free ballot that will b i fairly counted. He hoIds'Mahone responsi ble for the loss of most of tbo .Republican Con gressmen in Virginia. Mr. Langston thinks the financial flurries of the present will hurt the Democrats. They made all sorts of damaging statements abont the McKinley bill, and the voters believed them. COMPLETED IT3 WORK. The General Grievance Committee Finally Adopts an Agreement.

The greater portion of the committee left the ciiy last night. LIVELY CUTTIHG AFFEAY In Which Two Prominent Alleghenlans Figured Yesterday Afternoon. George S. Hays and S. R.

Land Purchase at Glenwood to be Used for Tills End. The 35 acres which the Baltimore and Ohio road has purchased at Glenwood will be used to extend the 'freight yards there. So far as local officers know the shops will not be en larged at present, as reported. Tne business of the road has grown enor mously iu Pittsburg, and tbe yards are not sufficient to hold the traffic. The extension at Glenwood will afford some relief. The land should have been purchased by the company 20 years ago. TWO SETS OF CLAIMANTS.

He says he finds a strong feeling among young Republicans throughout tbe State against the re-election of Cameron to the Senate. Henry Hall, of Mercer, went East last evening to deliver a lecture. He said he ought to write one on tbe ups and downs of politics, particularly the downs. Among Eastern passengers on the Penn sylvania road last cveninc were William Flinn, D. P.Reighard, H. W. Oliver, Jr., and John H. Rlcketson and wife. A. A. Stevens, the Tyrone prohibition leader, was in tbe city yesterday. M. H. Norris, of Youngstown, is regis tered at the Daquesne. NO LACK OF CHARGES To Keep the Agents of the Granite State Association in Jail. BAIL TUT BEYOND THEIR REACH. Fiftj of Their Victims Want a Make Informations. Chance to PRISONERS GET A WARSI EECEPXION The good men who represented the Granite State Provident Association in Pittsburg met a cloud of sorrow and a large crowd of people at Alderman McKenna's office yes terday. The crowd was made up almost altogether of laboring people and good housewives. There were also among the as semblage of several hundred people a few colored men. All of them had bitten at the bright dreams of fortune held out to them by this great loan association. How they wanted revenge, and there were no looks of love cast at the defendants as they marched into the Alderman's office under the care of Defective Shore, who had worked op the cases against them. Inspector McAleese was in the crowd, too, just to brush off any flies that might at tempt to light on the Department of Public Safety. He also had a further interest there, for when he quit talking to Alderman McKenna the magistrate decided to post pone the case for a week. SMALLER BAIL DEMANDED. John M. Kobb, the attorney for the de fense, objected because he did not want the defendants to stay in jail so long. He sug gested that if they must wait so long the bail be fixed at about $1,000 for each man. "Mako Hat least $5,000." said Inspector Mc Aleese over tbe magistrate's shoulder. You want to put the bail away out of reach," exclaimed tbe attorney, growing angry. But his anger gave away to despair when tbe In spector's answer came. "It will be beyond your reach, any way you fix it. There are 50 people waiting to make in formations against these men, and just as sure as one of them gets out on bail ho will be re turned on new informations inside ot ten min utes. The attorney gave up. The Alderman wiped his glasses and decided a bond of $3,000 would be required to secure the release ot each of tbe defendants. Then tbe prisoners were called in from tbe alderman's back office where they had been resting from the publicgaze. The crowd parted to let them pass. In the lead was a corpulent individual who wore a neatly brushed black broadcloth suit, and the name of Clark M. Eggleston. He was a pbilantbopic looking old gentleman who might either be a Sunday school superintendent or the president of a country bank. The whiskers which decorated his chin were snowy in' their whiteness and served to add to tbe length and appearance of his well-rounded face. His head bad appar ently bid a last farewell to hair many years ago, but the cloud of 26 charges of conspiracy, aided by a tall silk hat, served to protect this shining orb from the wintry blasts. AN UNPLEASANT SURPRISE. When tbe amount of tbe bail was named, he exclaimed, "WbatI Three thousand dollars!' He did not shed any tears, but his eyes pro truded so far beyond bis forehead that there seemed to be danger of his shedding those use ful members, themselves. Behind Mr. Eggleston came Henry KJm berly. He did not have much of nature's head covering left either, but carried a bigger stock of nerve than his aged partner. Robert Snyder was there also, and wore the appearance of a man of few years but many sorrows. M. Jacober. the superintendent of the association, was not there.and the trouble is that his present whereabouts are unknown. No one appeared to give bond for the appearance of the defend ants, and they were taken nut to the patrol wagon. By this time the crowd had gathered outside, and as the trio mounted the wagon one woman cried out: "See tbe old sucker sweat!'' That was tbe start; then almost ecah member of the crowd burled after the men a series of farewells, all of which lacked tbe ring of sym pathy. When they were gone Inspector McAleese was seen, and said: "I meant just what I told the attorney. Over fifty people have w anted to make information against the men. and if any of them get out on bail I will send them back at once. I had tbe hearing postponed because our attorney could not be present, and then I want to bring out some more evidence. The hearing will be held in Central Station, next Wednesday at 3 o'clock, and by that time we expect to have Jacober. We will get him any how and bring him back, no matter where ho is." QUAY'S BESLDENCE. A Report That the Senator Was to Bay a House in Sewickley. A story was started some time ago that Sena tor Quay proposed to give up bis home in Beaver and move to Pittsbur, and, though it was never confirmed, there were many who be lieved that there was more truth than fiction in tbe minor. The statement was revived yesterday by a re port that the Senator had purchased Cochran Fleming's residence at Sewickley for $35,000. It was said that be proposed to take upiiis resi dence there. C. L. Reno, tbe assignee of the firm oi Fleming Bros., who failed a short time ago, says that he has no knowledge of Senator Quay's intention to remove to Pittsburg. Of one thing lie was sure, and that was that there had been no negotiations regarding the pur chase of the resiaence by the Senator or any one else. FABNELL SHOULD BETIBE. Mr. Childers is Afraid lie Will Injure the Liberal Party. C. E. E. Childers, the son of Hugh Childers, one of the leaders of the English Liberals, thinks that unless Parnell can vindicate his record, he should retire from tbo leadership of the Irish party. Unless he does, Mr. Childers fears the Liberal cause will be very much in jured. The question has been referred to Glad stone, but in tbe face of ihe facts ho can't see bow tbo Grand Old Man could indorse his con duct. There is no doubt, he adds, that Parnell, through his conservatism, has done a great deal for tbe Irish party, and Mr. Childers re grets the unfortunate affair which may force him into retirement. MINOR POLICE ITEMS. Crime as Illustrated in Its Varied Phases in a Big City. JoriN Larkixs was locked up for raising a disturbance in the Hazelwood B. & O. Station. Mabtz Myers charges John Little with as sault and battery, and felonious assault, while both were at work repairing tbe Tenth street bridge. Two confidence men yesterday swindled Samuel B.

They were put in the Four teenth warn station. Frederick Doerii auseh was released from the workhouse Tuesday, but was sent back yesterday by Magistrate Succop for getting drunk and beating bis wife.

The Grievance Committee Completes Its Work and Adjourns A Carnegie Story Run Down Other Industrial News Col lected Yesterday. The sessions of the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor at Denver have been much more eacitingthau the press dispatches would seem to indicate, and the reporters out there are evidently losing good news. Sev eral private telegrams and letters havn been received here within tt past two or three days containing tbe information that the meetings have been anything buu harmonious. The trouble seems to have originated from Mr. Fowderly's effort to draw the order into politics, and the discussion drew in M. H. But ler, of Harrlsburg. who helped Powderly to hustle for Pattison for Governor, and A. M. Dewey, the ex-editor of tbo Journal, and James Camnbell, of Pittsburg, both of whom worked for Delamater. It is said that a whole day's session was devoted to tbe question, and the revolt against Mr. Powderly was very open. Mr, Powderly's ideas in regard to the forma tion of a new political orzanizatlon are also creating great dissatisfaction among the local Knights. An ex-Master Workman of D. A. 3 said yes terday: "It will not b of any benefit to take tbe order into politics. The majority of the members are Democrats any way, and if the order goes into any party it will be the Dem ocratic party. This wM drive the Republicans out and the organizatic n will lose influence." The feeling over the defeat of John Costello for appointment on '..he General Executive Board is intense. His downfall is considered as a slap at the labor interests in Western Penn sylvania, arid particularly with the miners, with whom he worked for many years, and who were led into the K. ot L. by him. The miners may rebuke Mr. Powderly by withdrawing irom the order. AFTEB TIN PLATE MACHINEBY. Mr. Niedrlnghaus Says Ignorance Defeated the Republican Party. Congressman rf ledringhaus, of St. Louis, and his brother, arrived in thocity last evening and stopped at the Monongabela House. He is here on a tin plate mission, but he was very reticent about his plans. He said the plant would be located in iSt Louis, and the ma chinery would come Jrom Pittsburg. When asked if he would buitd in this city, or if he was interested in any of the local tin plate schemes, he said he would not, nor is he in any companies bere, Mr. Niedringhaus remarked that he never had been a candidate for office. Like Cincin natus, tbe people had sought him, and this time they wanted him to run asrain. but he says he could not be induced. He tbinks tbe party was knocked out through ignorance, and when the mists clear away in the sweet by and by the present order of things will be changed. A CHANGE IN SPIKES. Oar Local Firms to Discard the Use of Old Balls and Use Soft Steel. Messrs. Dilworth. Poirter fc Co., limited, will shortly cease the manufacture of spikes from old rails and will turn them out from soft Bes semer steel instead. A member of the firm said yesterday: "This change will take place abont December 1. It was brought about by a resolution passed in the last National Convention of Road Masters, declaring the soft Bessemer soike tbe strongest and most endurable. It is stronger than iron. However, such iron spikes as customers may desire will be made of muck bar," To Increase the Supply. The Union Fuel Gas Company, of McKees port, has decided to put down 3 mils of 12 incb main to connect McKeesport by a new route with the Philadelphia Company's Belle vernon main. To Believe Their Yards. The National Tube Works Company, of Mc Keesport, will erect a coal elevator on the river bank near their works. WAHTS THE EEP0HTS EAELY. Mayor Gourley Sends Out a Circular to the Various Departments. Mayor Gourley started in -yesterday to stir up the various departments for their annual reports. Ho Is anxious to seenre them as soon as possible, as will be seen by the following letter, copies of which were sent to tbe Central Board of Education. City Treasurer. City Con troller, and the three city departments of Pub lic Works. Charities and Safety: , I shall be glad If you will kindly present your report called for by section 33 orwhat is Known as the Charter Ordinance at as early a date after Do cemberl as yoa can conveniently complete It. Tne ordinance referred to provides that the re port shall show in detail tlie receipts and exnendi turcs of the department uuder your charge and control. 1 shall he obliged, therefore, if you will make your report as lull and ccmplcte as practicable. Not only in tills respect, but also in the statement of your ncccesltles and requirements for the ensu ing year. The Mayor's idea is to get the reports thus early, in order that he may submit the facts to councils at tbe last meeting in December, thus giving the Finance Committee more time in which to ptepare the next appropriation ordi nance. Last year these reports did not reach Councils nntil January 18, and in consequence there was considerable growling from various sources. Controller Morrow, in speaking of the mat ter yesterday afternoon, said: "Although I am not obliged by law to make any report at all to tbe Mavor, when be asked me to send one in. I told him I would gladly comply. We will be very busy for the first 15 days in December, and 1 doubt whether I can prepare a report be fore tbe SOtb of the mouth. As for tbe City Treasurer, I fail to see what he has to report, as the affairs of his office will be included in my statement" After a Window-Smasher. An information will he made this morning against the well-known Jack Welsh by Inspec tor McAleese, charging him with malicious mischief. Welsh is wanted for deliberately smashing in tbe windows and transom of Joseph Stoltzer's saloon. t No. 2727 Penn ave nue, and then beating the proprietor because be remonstrated.

STILE THE KEYSTONE, Pennsylvania's People, Push and Prodncts Will Set the Pace. AT THE WOKLD'S PAIR IN CHICAGO. Checkmating the Legions of Eager, Aniioqs Place-Hunters. UFPECT Of A PITTSBURGER'S MODESTY That Pennsylvania men,' products and manufactures will cut a prominent part in the future of the "World's Fair at Chicago, seems to be tbe result of the observations of Mr. Leonard "Wales, who returned yester day from a three days' sojourn in tbe "Windy City. It is also apparent from personal contact with members of the National Com mission that tbe local directorate will here after be relegated to the rear and that in tbe new deal the National Commission is in the saddle. "The pace that 'Pennsylvania will travel has been set by Pittsburg's member of tbe National Commission, Captain William McClellan," said Mr. "Wales. "Captain McClellan made such a brilliant fight for General D. H. Hastings as Director-General that he naturally was awatded the dis tinction of making General Davis nomina tion unanimous. Before any committees were announced President Palmer, of tbe National Commission, came, to Captain Mc Clellan and asked him upon what commit tees he desired to serve, as be bad shown himself to be a very decent man in the Hastings-Davis fight." ONE VICTOKY FOR MODESTY. "Captain McClellan said that be wanted to be on just such committees as was the pleasure of the President There had been such a terrific struggle for fat places that Sena tor Palmer was astonished by tbe Pittsburg man's modesty, and forthwith placed bim on the three best committees: Manufactures, Classification and Tariffs and Transportation. The Committee of Manufactures is of keen im portance to Pittsburg and Pennsylvania for the general expectation is tbat Pittsburg will make an exhibit which will justify her universal characterization as the greatest manufacturing center in tbe world. As Secretary of tbe Com mittee on Classification Captain McClellan has just finished and laid before the commission a first draft of the groaning of exhibits which seems to be universally commended for its clearness, scope and perspicuity." 'The fact that Pennsylvania presented the only other candidate for Director General in the person of General Hastings seems to have made General Davis and tbe commission anxious to favor the Keystone State in every possible manner. "The place-hunters whose names aro legion have been knocked topsy-turvoy by General Davis' request for the creation of bureaus, whose heads shall be so far as possible the chairman ot the respective committees in the original schemes, and who shall be directly re sponsible to Ir.m. It is unquestionably a wise move, and shows that General Davis has risen to tne situation, nia desire to avoid tne cumbrous committee system is the essence of good sense when it is considered how limned the time at the disposal of the commission has become. PENNSYLVANIA TO THE FOKE. "General Davis, having sprung from the Local Directorate, has naturally been tolerant of the vagaries of that body, but he has defi nitely decided tbat the National Commission must bold up his hands or there willjbe a grand collapse. From personal conversations I had with Do Young, of California; Tousley, of Min nesota; Hodges, of Maryland, and Messrs. McClellan, Woodside, Brewer ana Widener, of Pennsylvania, it is clearly apparent that the National Commission feels tbat tbe Local Di rectorate has been monkeying. It can be de pended upon that tbe Fair is to bo put through and tbe Chicago speculators and parasites have got to come down. "Rumor has it that tbe following Pennsyl vanians are 'slated' by the National Commis sion: Editor Brewer, of the Erie Disvatch, is to be made chief of tbe Bureau of Installation, a most imoortant post; Lieutenant Colonel Robinson', of the United States Army, now stationed at Philadelphia, will be chief of the Bureau of Machinery, the same position be held with marked ability at the Centennial. Captain McClellan lias been active in the in terests ot Miss Mary McCandles, of this city, who will bo a candidate for secretary ot tbe Ladys' Board of Managers. Several other Pitts burgers are in quest of important positions, but do not wish any publicity at present. It can be set down as a fact that Pennsylvania will re ceive handsome treatment at the World's Fair." HUGE IMPLEMENT ENTEBPBISE.

The efforts of photographers who have gained no individual distinction to climb into prominence over the shoulders of their sitters who have nevi-r left the head-rest since they were "taken" are as peculiar as they are i utile. It reminds the American public of the "Hatters to Her Majesty," and "Butchers to His Serene Highness" seen in European cities. In this connection it may be well to state that in G. Aufrecht's "Elite" photograph gallery, 516 Market st, there were 8,000 photographs produced last week. He has worked with Sarony, of New York; Tabor of San Francisco, the two greatest authorities ou artistic photography in tbe country, and by Mr. Aufrecht's new glace process he can produce a finer likeness with a better finish than any opera tor in the country and at a very muc'j smaller cost. As far as being called upon to act as an expert artist for notable people is concerned he need only mention that he has made likenesses which are still held as souvenirs of DeWitt Talmage in Brook lyn; Terrence V. Powderly, in Scranton, and Dom Pedro, the former Emperor of Brazil, in San Francisco. To-day pupils of Mr. Aufrecht are conducting prosperous galleries in Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Boston and the finer work required is not excelled in New York, London, Paris or Vienna. The most difficult department of photog raphy, tbat of babies, is fully exemplified in his groups, where no individual expression is lost, but all blended into a harmonious whole, pleasing alike to parents and friends. No patron of a photograph gallery would wish to see himself or his children repro duced in the print as the negative leaves the camera. It is tbe artistic work in shading and retouching which tells in a likeness, which, taken by machinery and chemicals, is made perfect by a true touch and artistic judgment found at G. Aulrecht's, 516 Mar tet street Telephone 1456. Car Manufacturing Plant for Sale.

MWTh SCHE5LEY PABE7S ELEPHANT HEBE. It Is Given a Flattering Reception and Some thing Good to Eat Schenley Park's baby elephant arrived in the city yesterday afternoon over tbe Pennsylvania Railroad, and was given a reception that must have knocked its ideas of tbe jungles of India silly and deeply impressed it with the beauties and adornments of civilization. Tbe youngster was met at the station by a brass band and a large crowd of people and escorted up Third avenue to Gnsky's. and from there to Fifth avenue to the market house. All along the line of march tbe baby was greatly adn.lied. particularly as it was known that it had come to take bed and board with Pittsbnrgers as a steady thing. The little stranger showed the wear and tear of the long ocean voyaee and the, final journey on tbe cars. Its hide bnng loosely on its anatomy, but it had the calm and patient look of its Kind upon its face and part way down tbe trnnk. At the market house it was received with open arms by Superintendent McKnight and Hokey, and tbe former was seen to brush away a tear as he observed with what heroic fortitude his future pet had braved the hardships of tbe journey. His coat sleeve came into play once moro as he remarked to Hokey that it must have been mighty tough to tear the little creature away from its parents and home surroundings of tigers and such. But he soon rallied, and a royal feed was given the new arrival. Gusky, as the baby will be known in the fu ture, arrived in New York on Saturday last via the steamer Delcorno. It was met in New York by Mr. Levi De Wolt and a party of Plttsbnrcers and piloted to this city in style. Mr. DeWolf is very proud of the joung ivory producer, and says tbat if he was not already in business he thinks be could make quite a hit in cultivating tbe finer qualities and tastes of these animals, that taking their chances of moral and mental advancement and early edu cation into consideration, rank among the most intelligent of the brute creation.

GILSON'SHARDftERYE A notorious Thief Tries to Sell Some of the City's "Property. ' SWEARS TO A PLAIN FALSEHOOD. Inspector McAleese Expects to Send the Han to Riverside. HE GITES THE OFFICERS A BATTLE Officer Burke arrested Jack Gilson yester day in Joseph Stoltzer's saloon for one of the boldest attempts at larceny that has been recorded in local police circles for some time. He was not taken into custody with out a hard fight, in which he was knocked down, and when tbe doors of the bnstile finally closed upon him, one of the most notorious members of the "Dirty Dozen" gang that ever looked through prison bars was caged. A week ago yesterday Gilson went to Peter Schaefer, of No. 1334 Penn avenue, and told him that he had a pile of scrap iron to sell. Schaefer went with him to see the same, which was a lot of castings used by the city in certain street gutters and piled at the corner of Seventeenth and Liberty streets against the railroad wall. Schaefer had some misgivings about the ownership of the metal, bnt Gilson assured him that it was bis, beinz a city official, and offered to go before an Alderman and make an affidavit to this effect Accordingly they adjourned to Squire Donovan's office, in the Ninth ward, and Gilson took an oath that the iron belonged to him, swearing that he gathered it along the river bank. Armed with this assurance, Schaofer began negotiations for the lot some 3,000 pounds. Gilson wanted 60 cents per hun dred for it but they finally agreed npon 40 cents, the money to be paid as soon as thr iron bad beerr weighed on the city scales at Tenth street. Schaefer then secured his horse and borrowed a wagon of M. Sherman, a rag dealer at No. 77 Seventh avenue, and in company with tbe latter started after the purchase. They bad succeeded in getting on a half wagon load of the iron when Health Officer Price came along, and Sherman asked him if be knew of a city employe named Gilson. Price remarked tnat he did not and after bearing tbe story ot the deal, warned the men to be careful, as he was certain tbe man was an impostor, and that the castings belonged to the city. With this warning tbe men at once un hitched the horse, leaving tbe wacon there, where it remains at tbe present time. When Inspector McAleese was notified of the affair be at once set sail for Gilson. He was not located until Tuesday nighr. when Officer Ross Koii.'on arrested bim" near Sixteenth street A tussle ensued in wbich the- officer got the foot and Gilson escaped, though not until he bad dodged four bnllett from a 33 caliber revolver. The castings which Gilson had offered for sale were of charcoal iron, one of the most valuable kinds. Tbe prisoner ts a most notorious character. During tbe last 15 years be has put in a number of terms in the worKhouse and has also been in the penitentiary. The officers say tbat he has spent at least 15 years of his life in this way. His brother Larry is now serving a six-year sentence in the workhouse. He had a sister who served a long time in this same institu tion, and Larry's wife devoted three years to the same cause. Members ot the tribe have also been arrested for keeping apeak-easies. NO ADVANCE -IN- PRESENT STOCK or CARPETS -AND- CURTAINS.
