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.

OKE DATS ACCIDENTS.
Tliree Mishaps That Were Apparently TJn
aoidab!e and Very Unpleasant.

"Works, Southside, bad his right leg broken
above the knee.

Hamilton's in a nay that indicated tbe ne
cessity of enlarging Old City Hall for the occa
sion, Over 500 tickets were sold during the day.
NOT WISHART'S KIND.
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.

The General Grievance Committee Finally

TO BELIEVE THE YABDS.
The It. & O. 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.

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.

LIVELY TIMES AT DENVER.
THE K. OF L. GENERAL ASSEMBLY SEEMS
TO BE OUT. FOB GORE.
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

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

ties of tbe agents to see that the stock is prop
erly cared for.
Church Property Sold.

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."

American Progressive Photography.
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.

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.
