Of the concoction of schemes to make
money out of the unwary, like the making
of books, there is no end in fact, such
schemes seems to multiply rather than di
minish with the improvement in means of
general enlightenment, and though some of
them appear to be very crude, yet from the
numrjer of victims reported, it would seem
that even the very elect are, some of them at
least, among the dupes.
The swindling companies that promise
something lor nothing are the ones that
meet with the most success, and none are
more seductive than marriage endowment
companies. Young men and women of
small means and on marriage bent are at
tracted by the glittering promise of enough
money to set up a domestic altar equal in
point of furnishment to those they are
about to leave, and they bite in all seasons
and at all places.
OXCB A TKAP TS PITTSBtTEO.
One of these traps was baited on "Wylie
avenue, a few years ago, but it was man
aged by a verdant young man, who. over
come by the prospect of a free "ad," gave
away the snap to a newspaper reporter, and
the "ad" iell on it like a black irost, and
the young man found it expedient to fold
his tent within a few days later, and Wjlie
avenue has not known him since.
Bat the industry is not dead, and an in
stitution in Toledo, Ohio, has lately been
doing a good business in some of our su
burban towns. It is known to many patrons
as the Home ilarazine Mutual Endowment
Association, and its victims say they were
promised $300 each by payment oi 53 a
month for six months prior to marriage, or
J300 for 518. Victims were in some occult
manner persuaded that the business was
dead open and shut, and the golden current
sustained by the contributions of fresh ap
plicants. ONE TOXTJTG MJJf'S EXPERIENCE.
Many had "faith like a craiu of mustard
seed," or had in view the parable of the
miracle of feeding the thousands on five
loaves and seven small fishes. Among them
was a young man of Braddoct, who decided
that false modesty should not stand in the
way of an explanation. He had paid on two
doIicicj for a considerable time longer than
the time required, according to the com
pany's representations, to secure him 5600,
but when proofs of the marrijge were for
warded he was informed that, ow
ing to the unprecedented rush of business
in Hvmen's court, the previous month, his
two tickets only drew 561 50. He wasn't
satisfied, and accordingly made inquiry and
found that matrimony appeared to be con
tagious among the patrons of the Home
Jlj-azine Mutual Endowment Association.
As misery is happier in company, this
young man of Braddock concluded to hunt
up companions in misfortune, and the fol
lowing is a sample of the correspondence
that ensued:
Braddoce, August 27, ISM.
J. E. EevtrUn, Esq :
Dear Sis 1 write jou these lines for in

there was an assessment made forj ou, as you
carried lour policies; if so, clcase let me know
what you received on each policy, as I was a
member and carried two policies and paid in it
for eight months. I received $61 50 two
months after I was married. It did not pay me
lor mv trouble. My policies were paid me on
J uly 3a The assessment made for you was No

To this the following answer was received:
On four policies I cot $132, or about that; I
think I had paid in fully that much; I think a
little more. Yours, J. A. Beveklin.

This is a pretty fair sample of the replies
received from a large number of companions
in distress. It appeared that, as a general
rule, there was a rush into the hymeneal
noose the month immediately preceding the
application for endowment.
The case was laid before C. F. McKenna,
Esq., but there was nothing iu it that could
be legally straightened out here.
The mother ot the young man referred to
states that the income ot the H. M. M. E.
A. appears to have been 50,000 a month of
late, ind that out of it one man was ena
bled, by rigid parsimony, to enjoy an in
come of 0,000 a year.

The Shadow of Death Hovering Over a lltt
burg Household.
Death's shadow has hovered for six weeks
over the family of the late Eli Edmundson,
and three deaths in that time have carried
sorrow into many households, in addition to
the immediate relationship. Eli Edmund
son died two weeks ago. His daughter,
Mrs. Dryden, died a month previously, and
yesterday morning Mrs. Louisa C. Ed
mundson died of a complication of heart
disease and dropsy, at the residence of T. C.
Perrine, a son by a lormer marriage, on
Forbes street.
Mrs. Edmundson was in the 72d year of
her use. She married Eli Edmundson about
1850. They resided in this city until six
years ago, when they removed to Baltimore.
She was prominent in the membership of the
Sniithfield Street M. E. Church for many
years, and later in the Mansfield M. E.
Church. Her death leaves a gap in a large
circle of friends.

MAL0NE IS NOT AFRAID.
JAYS WANAMAKER HAS NOTHING TO
DO WITH HIM.
HE
The Superintendent Thinks Ho Is Being
Used as a Target "Why Contractors
Don't IJl;e Him Ho Insists 'Upon the
Work Being "Well Done.
Superintendent Malone, of the new Gov
ernment building, looked like a man trained
and prepared to go to a finish when a Dis
patch reporter dropped in to see him yes
terday afternoon. He was firm in his gen
eral manner, bnt at the same time as agree
able as usual. "When asked whathe thought
of Postmaster McKean's determination to
have him removed, he smiled and replied
that the Postmaster, if he had been quoted
correctly, seemed to think he was master of
the situation.
"What do you anticipate the outcome of
his letter to Postmaster General Wananiaker
will be?" was asked.
"This work is not in Mr. Wanaraaker's
department to begin with. It comes uuder
the direct control of the Treasury Depart
ment. Whether Mr. Wanamaker will
interest himself enough to go outside of his
own sphere in the matter is more
than I can say. One thing I will say, how
ever, I am doing my duty to the best of my
ability, and it Is open for the inspection ot
men competent to judge on that point. I
saw it stated that Postmaster McKean and
Mr. Butz, of the Pennsylvania Construction
Company, were going to call on me to-day,
but theyhave not been here yet."
"How about the complaints of the Con
struction Company representative?"
"They are very easily explained. The
company was given the contract in July,
1889. It was to be finished in three months.
I only started to keep time on them from
the date the work began. Under this ar
rangement their contract expired May 1,
1890. Since that date they have been liable
to a penalty of 5100 a day. So you see it is
quite natural that tbey should want to find
some peg on which to hang the excuse, and
they have singled me out as a target."
"Can this money be deducted from their
contract?"
"If the Government sees fit to do so."
"Has their work been satisfactory?"
"27o, sir; it has not. The exception has
been for them to do anything right. But
these facts are all known at the department
in Washington. In fact, they have been a
by-word for mouths, so it is needless for me
to say more. When a superintendent allows
contractors to slipshod along, draw their
money and cheat the Government, he is a
good fellow, but when he insists on things
being done properly, then they kick."
With this Mr. Malone subsided and spoke
no more.
THOMAS KERNAN KILLED
IN AN ACCIDENT AT THE CLINTON BLAST
FURNACE.
The Now Elevater Came Down Upon the
Old Gentleman's Head, Killing Him In
stantlyHe Had Been With the Firm for
Twcnty-l'ivo Tear.
Mr. Thomas Kernaii, Sr., was instantly
killed by an accident at the blast furnace of
the Clinton Mills, at 4."A5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
For the past few day3 workmen have been,
repairing the damage done to the furnace by
the fire two weeks ago to-day, and the new
elevator was being tried. It had been run
up and was coming down, when Mr. Kcr
nan put his head iu the shaft to see if it was
coming. The elevator was nearer than any
one supposed, and it struck Mr. Kernan on
the head, killing him almost instantly. His
skull was crushed and his neck broken.
The body was soon after removed to his
home, which is just across the street, at 156
West Carson street
Mr. Kernan was one of the best known
men in the city. He was 8 years old, and
leaves eight children. His wife has been
dead several yean. Mr. Eeruan's eldest
son, Thomas Eernan, Jr., is night superin
tendent of the iurnace iu which his father,
who was day superintendent, was killed.
He has other sons who are well known on
the Southside. The deceased had been with
the Clinton Mills for the past quarter of a
century, and had been superintendent for
manv years.
Although a strong partisan of the Demo
cratic faith, Mr. Kernan was a general
favorite even among his political oppo
nents. He has been very prominent iu the
public affairs of the Thirty-third ward,
having served from time to time as school
director and Councilman, and at the last
election was elected Alderman.

An
Inspector Says Honesty Bales in the
Postofflces.
W. C. Moore, of Philadelphia, the Post
office Inspector for Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, registered at the Anderson yester
day. He came here to see Inspector Dick
sou about some Jocal details which, he said,
were unimportant
"My business," he said, "is to hunt up
irregularities and bring depredators to jus
tice. There are 197,000 persons directly and
indirectly employed in the postofuce busi
ness of the country, and I may safely say
there are few dishonest ones among them,
and they are speedily unearthed. Most of
the thieving is committed by people on the
outside. When you consider the great army
employed in handling the mails, it is sur
prising so few depredations are the result."
A BANQUET TO EMPLOYES.
Percy F.Smith Celebrates the Tenth Anni

Percy P. Smith tendered his employes a

It was a very pleasant affair, and much

spicy remarks.

CHICAGO'S TRAGEDIES RECALLED.

Hake Lurid Speeches,
EAKIXG MONOPOLISTS P0EE AND API
Lafayette Hall was packed almost to the
doors last night with a mixed crowd of men,
women, children and babes in arms, to at
tend tfce memorial services and hear speeches
eulogistic of the Anarchists who were
hanged at Chicago, November 11, 1887.
Many groups of the International Work
ingmen'i Association were represented, and
the members were to be designated by the
bright red badges they wore upon their coat
lapels. It was a truly representative crowd
of the people that believe in the doctrines
of anarchy and socialism, and, true to the
faith, the children were given a sort of bap
tism in the sentiment most dear to the fol
lowers. There was an utter disregard of form, and
during the entire evening many of the male
members of the audience sat with their
hats on. Here and there thin, blue
wreathe of tobacco smoke rank enough
to stop a clock could be seen
slowly and serenely floating upward toward
the ceilings, but these displays of personal
liberty were confined chiefly to the spaces
under the gallery. There was no blood, and
but very little dynamite, and it must be
said that the company was one of the most
orderly and well-behaved that ever gathered
in the building.
BLACK AND BED DECOBATIONS.
The decorations were elaborate and to an
extent lurid, though there was enough
black to tone down the general effect.
From the center of the first gallery
was suspended a big flag that
for redress would have driven a Spanish
bull into a fit. To the right, and opposite
the stage, was another of the same style,
while directly across from this was one of
deep black. Under this one was the in
scription in white letters on a black back
ground. There will be a time when our silence :
shall be more powerful than the voices :
you axe strangling to-day. August :
Spies, November 1L 1887.
All around both galleries were pairs of
red and black flags crossed, and single
bright red flags bearing the words: "lie
member the 11th of November, 1887." At
proper intervals around the first gallery
were hung the portraits of A. R. Parsons,
Adolph Fischer, August Soies, Louis
Lingg and George Engel, with the first
named in the center.
UTEKATUBK A LITTLE LTJBID.
To the right of the main entrance to the
hall a large collection of literature was to
be found. Some of it consisted of pamph
lets for free distribution, and the balance of
books on sale. An idea of its character can be
gathered from the following titles of various
works: "Revolt," "An American to Amer
icans," "Was It a Fair Trial?" "The Beast
of Property," "Capital and Work," "Pa
triots," by Autrust Spies; "The Social Mon
ster," "Spies' Autobiography," "Anarchy,"
by A. B, Parsons, and many more. The
sales were quite extensive and continued
during the entire proceedings.
It was after 8 o'clock when Krumm's Or
chestra led off with the overture, "Elves."
Then Mr. James Gilmore came to the front,
and in a brief speech introduced Mrs. Lucy
Parsons, the first speaker of the evening.
Among other things, Mr. Gilmore said the
assertion of monopolists that Anarchists were
bloodthirsty devils, plotting againstthe best
interests of society was "a d d lie." This
declaration brought forth applause. Mrs.
Parson, was dressed in plain black, and her
manner was earnest in the extreme. She
did not betray any anxiety about the fate
which awaited her on her return to Newark,
where she is to stand trial on three charges,
"being riotously assemblsd," "inciting to
riot" and assaulting Police Captain Glory.
She was released on $1,000 bailthe amount
having been reduced from $1500 for this
special occasion, and is to be bade by Mon
day. MBS. PABgOSS' OWN STOBY.
Just before she went upon the stage Mrs.
Parsons said to a Dispatch reporter that
she supposed she would set six months free
board from the State or New Jersey, though
she was innocent of any crime. The cir
cumstances, she said, were that she went to
the hall where memorial services were to be
held, and found it locked and 2,500 people
waiting. She mounted the steps, and was
about to invite the crowd to the headquar
ters, when she was seized and locked up.
She smiled about the Captain Glory inci
dent, and declared that she never saw the
man before her arrest.
Mrs. Parsons' speech was listened to at
tentively, though she was frequently inter
rupted by applause. She began by saving
that a true history of this country could not
be written with the events of May 1, 1886,
and November 11, 1887, omitted, She then
recited a poem on truth, and said
she had come to teach a new re
ligion based upon its principles. She
then went into a brief review of the Chicago
events of the dates mentioned, cutting right
and left. She said anarchy and
revolution were indispensable to prog
ress. The former was a beautifnl philoso
phy, not yet understood, and the latter
was transition from one condition to another.
They were entirely separate and distinct.
The" Chicago tragedy, she said, was the first
shot of a revolution that will free the work
ingmen of America. It took the intelligent
man, not a fool to be an Anarchist, and
dynamite was not their religion, it was
truth, and that hanged Christ.
WHY LUCY SHEDS TEARS.
Mrs. Parsons then gave the "monopolistic
press" and the pulpit of Pittsburg a rack
ing, referring to them as "the rabble in the
broadcloth," and declared that they helped
to hang the Chicago victims. She 'said she
did not weep over her irreparable loss, but
for the liberty of American meu, women
and children. In order to have
peace, in order to introduce the
beautiful doctrines of Anarchists
there must be wars. The time was not ripe
vet, bnt when it was there would not be one
little bomb, but a Million would shriek their
protests against oppression. All this, if
necessary. Perhaps, prayer might do the
work. They were all right, but were to
mansions in the skies. They were not worth
a cent to mend poverty and oppression.
This utterance brought forth another storm
of applause. She closed her remarks with a
tribute to the dead Anarchists and the prin
ciples they advocated.
The next lew minutes were taken up in
some musical selections by the "Forward
G(ee Club," of Lawreneeville; "The Inde
pendent Workingmen's Sinking Society,"
and instrumental music. Many men left
the hall during the interval, only to return
with faces wreathed in smiles and beer.
John Heitnrann introduced HerrJohn
Most; who created the biggest kind of an
uproar when he appeared, and at frequent
Intervals during bis speech, which was in
German. He wore a neat suit of black and
had his hair combed. It was easy for him
to recite the details of the Chicago
events. He eulogized the men who
paid the death penalty, but
when he got a whack at monopoly, capital
and the press, he kicked them about as as
the athlete would a football. No dynamite
was visible about his nerson. but be, made
the fnr fly in talk, and scored a decided hit-
bis speech being characteristic or the man.
It was after 11 o'ejock'when the meeting
broke up. It was estimated that the re
ceipts would be about $300.
THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH.
, RUBBING OUT THE LINES.
Judge Smith, or Virginia, Thinks Western
Democrats Should Lead -for the Present
He "Would Have JIMs Betlre Into the
Background.
Judge Thomas Smith, of Warrenton,
Va., is at the Duquesne. He was United
States District Attorney for New Mexico
under Cleveland, and as he hadn't
much use for the territory after
Harrison was ejected President, he returned
to Virginia and became interested in de
veloping its mineral resources. He is in
the North now alter capital for the purpose
of starting several industries in the iron
regions tit Low Moor. His father was
the famous war Governor of Vir
ginia, familiarly known as "Exeter Billy."
The Judge is a prominent Democrat in
his own State and well posted on the polit
ical status of the South. In a short talk: last
evening he said: "I think it would be wise
for the Democratic leaders to select a North
ern Democrat for Speaker of the next
House, and to put their Western and
Northwestern Democrats in the majority
on the Ways and Means Committee.
Every now and then the Northern
people, through misrepresentations, become
imbued with the idea that the South, with
its peculiar ideas, is returning to power, and
their interests are endangered. To allay all
such fears, I think that Mr. Mills, who is
in the-line of promotion should keep in the
background, as well as all of the extreme
Southern free trade members. The Southern
people, in their efforts to develop the coal
and iron resources of the country, are
as much interested in protection
as the Northern Republicans,) but the
trouble is that all such economic
questions must be subordinated when con
tronted with the negro problem. The ques
tion is whether we shall be ruled by intelli
gence or ignorance. We regard the Force
bill as another effort to push the negro into
authority, not for his good, but that throuch
him the Republicans may coutrol the
South. This is the reason why the bourn
always presents such a solid Democratic
phalanx. It is'lhe one party that has been
willing in the past to help ifi, and even
Northern Republicans who come down to
live with us soon vote this ticket.
"Southern elections are fairly conducted.
I must say that I never saw any illegal
voting. Both parties are represented on
the board, and these people are there to see
that their side is not cheated. If the
agitation about the negro vould cease and
the South were loft alone, we would get
along very well. The Southern Democrats
are the colored man's best friends, and in
time he would be educated and become a
better citizen."
A GREAT FREE SHOW
Given in Judge Magee's Court, Yesterday-
Two Colored Men Have on Amusing Ar
gumentA Peculiar Remark That
Wasn't Meant to he Sarcastic
Two colored men, named George Johnston
and Charles Mason, were before Judge Ma
gee for half an hour or so, and the oldest in
habitant present said he had never gotten
so much fan out of a dollar spent in va
riety shows as Messrs. Johnston and Mason
furnished gratis and unconsciously.
Johnston charged Mason with alienating
the affections of Mrs. Johnston, and this
was the base of a snit for surety of
the peace. Mason in his defense
was eloquent, and the two carried on an in
terjectional argument that was immensely
funnVjbutunproduceableexceptby a phono
graph. Said Mr. Mason: "You sneaked
after me like a dog." Johnston replied:
"Yes, I did, and it takes a dog to catch a
fox. I holed you."
The argument grew heated, and Bre'r
Fox, Bre'r Rabbit, Bre'r Dog and
tho bre'rn generally were drawn
on to furnish rhetorical figures.
Finally Mason woundup with a speech that
hit Judge Magee squarely between the eyes,
but as His Honor saw that there was no in
tentional sarcasm, he bore it good" humored
ly. Said Mason: "I tell you Judge, any
fool knows, and you know yourself, that if
a woman don' want to be stolen from her
husband she can't be, and no man can steal
her away if she don' want to be stolen."
The Court generally seemed to enter Into
the spirit of the thing, and it gave Johnston
a chance to say that he didn't know that he
was related to the District Attorney. He
made Mason admit that he had gotten very
fine biscuit to eat while iu jail, and then
turned to the Court and stated that Mrs.
Johnston had baked them.
Judge White Why didn't you punish
vonr wife for her misdoings?
Johnston Judge, this court won't shut
up in a day or two will it? This looks like
a pretty good building.
Judge White No.
Johnston Well, then I'll brine her no.
The Court thought Mason should be made
pay the costs, and so decided.
He Turned the Dogs Loose,
Thomas Jackson, charged byJohnFaw
cett with stealing $500, a double-barreled
shotgun and turning the dogs loose in his back
yard, causing a general fight, had a hearing
last night. He was fined for dfsorderly con
duct, but released from the charges of lar
ceny, malicious mischief and entering a
house to commit a felony.
Street Sweepers Raise the Dust.
One of the pleasing features oi a stroll

good clothes were in a heap of trouble.
Money for His Family.
Charles Leibrick was a very popular
drummer, well-known here, who was burned
to death last week in a hotel fire at Owens

took up a collection for his tamily at the
Seventh Avenue Hotel and $50 were raised.

OBSTACLES TO MEET:
Circumstances That Will Work
Against Tin Plate Plants.
C0HD1TI0N OP LABOR A FACTOR
American Firms That Are Preparing ta Em
bark in the Industry.
CLOSE OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
There is no end to the amount of conjec
turing among the manufacturers over the
exact extent to which the tin plate industry
will be developed in America. All hope
for its success, and yet there are those who
question the ability of American manufac
turers to compete with Welsh makers, and
give as one of the most potent reasons, that
the class of skilled labor required cannot
legally be imported, and the difference be
tween exports at low wages and novices at
high wages will amount to more than the
increased duty.
It is given out, however, as an absolute
certainty, that no less than five plants will
he in operation in America in time to place
the product in the market as soon as the
duty goes into effect. All of the contingen
cies are tobe met, and the progress will be
watched with interest.
It is known that artificial appliances can
not be made available for the production.
Competent workmen, who are thoroughly
acquainted with the industry, must be sub
stituted. The labor question must be settled by ar
ranging a rate of compensation to correspond
with rates paid associated labor. Before
making an investment in the industry,
manufacturers are likely to inquire into the
causes of so many failures in Wales, right
in the center of the tin-plate industry, where
the makers have all the facilities and the
advantage of experience at their command,
and all these stumbling blocks will natur
ally be avoided, it possible.
failtjbes even th wales.
It is estimated that in 12 years, 79 con
cerns in Wales that were engaged exclu
sively in the manufacture of tin plate have
failed, and almost every effort in all other
parts of the five kingdoms has been un
successful. It is argued by those who
doubt that the industry will be a success,
that there is only one place where it will
thrive. Brussels, they say, is the place for
lace; Belfast for linen; Sheffield for ex
quisitely fine cutlery; Pittsburg for iron and
steel, and Wales for tin plate.
The Welsh manufacturers are industrious
and pay the most liberal rate of wages in
Europe for the class of people employed;
yet tin plate making has, never been a suc
cess outside of South Wales. It is possible,
however, that labor-saving devices will be in
troduced. But in this respect one of the dele
gates to the British Iron and Steel Institute
remarked, while speaking of the matter: "It
is hard to imagine any short cuts in tin
plate making which have not been tried.
The difficulty is, that you cannot get a
machine that will think, feel and see."
A Dispatch reporter had a talk, with
Secretary Cronnemeyer, of the Western Tin
Plafe Association, yesterday. Mr. Cronne
meyer is preparing to invest in the indus
try on a large scale himself, and, of course,
has implicit faith in enterprise. He
furnished the names of the concerns in the
country that are preparing to make tin
plate. "These," said he, "are Marshall
Brothers, of Philadelphia, the Pottstown
Iron Company, the St. Louis "Stamping
Company, P. H. Loufman & Co., of, Apollo,
and our own firm."
NO FOKEIGNEES -WASTED.
"Can you tell, Mr. Cronnemeyer, if the
contract labor law will interfere with secur
ing competent assistance?" was asked.
"We do not want foreigners," was the
hasty response. "I have now the names
and addresses of over CO men in this country
who know the business from A to Z, and as
we develop the industry we will develop
skilled workmanship."
"Will the labor organisations aid in
fostering the business?"
"That remains to be settled. The Amal
gamated Association has fixed rates for tin
and black plate mills at present, and I
suppose that when we begin the manufacture
of tin plate regularly, tbey will establish a
special rate for us."
"About what amount of capital is required
to put a plant into successful operation?"
"That depends altogether ou the capacity
desired. I do not believe a good plant
could be started for less than 5150,000."
The cost would depend, as Mr. Cronne
meyer says, on the size of the establish
mentwhether it included 10, 20 or 30
mills. Most of the plants in South Wales
have 80. Mr. Cronnemeyer also says that a
number of firms, including the Chartiers
Iron and Steel Company, Kirkpatrick Ss
Co. and the Canonsburg Iron and Steel
Company had expressed their intention of
going into the industry previous to the
passage of the McKinley bill, but whether
they would do so now he did not know.
A GROWING ORDER.
Ballroad Grievance Committees Strike a
Snag in Their Own Laws.
Assistant Grand Condnctor Wilkinson, of
the Railway Conductors, left forj Al
toona last evening to attend a
meeting there to-day. He spent yesterday
among the members of the order here.
Mr. Wilkinson says the membership of the
organization now numbers 15,000, and it is
increasing in strength and influence every
day. So far as he had heard, everything
was quiet in railroad circles.
In this connection it now transpires that
the Grievance Committees that recently met
in Pittsburg for a readjustment of wages on
the Pennsylvania Company's lines went
home.because they could not act without
violating a Brotherhood law to the effect
that the local superintendent must not be
ignored, and the men should treat with him
first.
It was intended to make the fight on the
grievances of the men on the branch oi the
Ft Wayne from New Castle to Ashtabula.
The round distance between the two places
is 166 miles and 118 from New Castle to
Ashtabula. The men are paid the same
wages on both runs, and Superintendent
Kimball, it is claimed, refused to allow
overtime. The conductors on the branch
feel sore over the sudden termination of
affairs, and one of them said yesterday that
they were worse off now than before they
federated.
A 8T0EMY SESSION.
Knights of Labor Close the Liveliest Meet
ing in Their History.
The present session of the General Assem
bly of the Knights of Labor has evidently
been the liveliest held for many years.
Very little of the proceedings have been
given out in Denver for publication, but
several of the local Knights have received
private letters containing all the Important
news of the convention.
The General Assembly adjourned Friday
night after remaining in session until nearly
midnight, it is said. The delegates are on
their way home and will be here to-morrow
or next day.
No Non-Union Men at Work.
The statement that a number of non-union
carpenters are at work on the new West
Penn roundhouse at Herrs Island, Alle
gheny, is denied by Delegate Lenary, of the
Carpenters' Union. None but union men
are employed, and Mr. Lenary says it is
doubtful if SO non-union men could be found
in the whole of Pittsburg.

TEE WEATHER BOSS TALES.
He Says the "Fresent Fine Spell Will Last for
Several Days.
Weather Boss Stewart, of the local signal
service office, said yesterday that so far as
he knew now the present fine weather would
last until Monday. High barometer was
the rule over Kansas and Nebraska, due, he
thought, chiefly to the Farmers' Alliance.
"We have had some very peculiar and
unusual features in the reports of to-day and
yesterday," continued Mr. Stewart. "On
Friday there were but two places iu the
United States where it rained. Those were
Buffalo and along the Allegheny valley, and
at both places the fall was very light To
day rain was reported from five different
points, but it was very light, probably not
more than one hundredth part of an inch.
If the old prophecy among the Pennsyl
vania Germans is true that November 21
gives a forecast of what the winter will be
we may look for some pleasant weather this
time, as Friday was delightful and to-day is
about as fine."

In the theatrical business for this week
the Pennsylvania had Fred Warde and his
company to Philadelphia, the De Wolf
Hopper Opera company, 56 people, went to
Cincinnati over the Panhandle, and the
Rentz-Santley company to Chicago over
the Ft Wayne road. City Passenger Agent
A. P. Read was feeline good over his
week's work as he footed up the totals, and
found he had captured 101 people.
District Passenger Agent Colonel Samuel
Moody returned yesterday from a trip
through his territory. When asked about
the rumor that he intended to resign, he
laughed heartily and said he had never
thought of it, and he couldn't understand
how the report was started. The Colonel is
with the Pennsylvania Company to stay as
long as they want his services.
The B. & O. road had the "Blue and
Gray" company from Harris' Theater to
Louisville last night, Baker's Bennett &
Moulton Opera Company from Wbeeliug
to Uniontown. There were ten passengers
from the World's Museum to Philadelphia.
