GAS ON THE JUMP,
The Producers of Pittsburg's Supply
Say the Price May Go Up to 50
Cents a Thousand Feet.
CONSUMERS MOST USE ECOKOMY.
Too ilnch of the PrecioHs Fuel Now Allowed
to Iscape Into the Air Through
the Chimney Fines.
SEVERAL WAIS TO PBETEM WASTE.
The Iicresse is Price to be Gndul, bit Evidently Note
the Less CtrUin,
Tbe price of natural gas has not reached
the limit of its ambition, and before a year
has rolled around consumers will be looting
back and longing for tbe good old davs
when tbe biueish flame cost only 15 cents a
inousana leeu
Interest in the question of gas or no gas is
not lagging, by any means, as was evidenced
by the talks Dispatch reporters had with
producers and consumers yesterday. It
leaves no doubt that the price will
advance, and yery soon, but the ex
act date is to be regulated by the
gas furnaces beneath and the cost to corral
and hold it while a match is set to it. That
was the burden of the statements made by
producers yesterday, while consumers threw
up both hands at the idea of the price going
beyond 15 cents, which is generally consid
ered fully equal to the occasion.
Secretary TJptergraff, or the Philadelphia
Companv, upon being interrogated on tbe
voluminous gas question, said: "I don't be
lieve the people can afford to pay even 15
cents a thousand feet if they use the old
fashioned open grates which have been in
operation for the past five years. Too much
cas goes up tbe flues aud is otherwise
wasted.
THE PRICE BODSD TO GO TJP.
"Economical appliances must be adopted,
gas will go out of use. If these econom-,-;al
measures are adopted gas will continue
'o be Pittsburg's beacon light. The price
will be raised, of course, but the expense to
consumers will not be greatly advanced.
"When our company is torced to pipe the gas
from other fields it will be compelled to
raise the price because the cost of produc
tion will be more. But that should not
greatly affect tbe people. The price, I be
lieye, will go as high as 50 cents in the
course of time. It is 25 and 30 cent' a
thousand feet at Erie and Buffalo, and the
latter city is as favorably situated as Pitts
burg. In Cincinnati 1 is tbe price of fuel
gas, and there are 2,000 consumers at that
price, whereas we have only 15,000 at 15
cents a thousand leet. With gas-iaying ap
pliances toe price will not be felt, but with
the old-fashioned burners the cost would be
too much "
Tie secretary of the Equitable Gas Com
pany can also see prospects of au increase
5n price of pjtural gas. "The price per
1.000 feet will increase with the increased
difficulties to obtain it," said he. "I can't
see any limit to it. If it goes too high for
the people to pay for it. that ends the gas
business in places like this, where it is
necessary to pipe it in. Of course, in smaller
places gas will be plentiful for you can't
tell bow long. But the companies will cer
tainly not pipe and furnish it except at a
profit"
GCTTIiG BACK TO OLD KATES.
Secretary D. T. Shields, o! the Allegheny
Heating Company, says their supply of gas
is good at present, and they have not bad
any complaints recently. Speaking of a
probable further increase in the price, he
said: "I can't see that it is an increase, but
rather getting back to the old price. About
five jearsago uesold gas at 30 cents a thou
sand, and it i now gradually getting back to
that price. I don't see why it shouldn't. Of
course, it is proper to gn u cheap gas as long as
it can be produced cheaply, but, as
the price of production increases, tbe
pi ice paid by consumers will ad
vance vuh it. With proper appliances
and economic u-ajre. the price in the long run
will not be greatly increased. We have not
lia our quarterly collections since the latest
economic measures were adopted, and there
fore can't siy bow they work. Consumers
sometimes talk about it themselves, but do not
mention it to us and the only way we will be
able to learn is b the amounts used."
President Charles Mejran, of the Manu
facturers' Natural Ga Company, thinks bis
company lias Int. ou the right thing to cheapen
s for consumers, evpn when it becomes nei.es-r-rj
to advance t(je price. Tbe company has
adopted, to a larce extent, wbat Is called the
"mixer,' aud works on the Ohio plan. These
thet lent outbj the month. They are regu
lated so that nnlj a certain amount of tbe gas
can pas througu, and a man can take any size
he like-, the price being regulated by tbe sire
of the hole in tbe mixer. A large-sized burner,
such as is used in a cookstove, comes at about
2 a mouth, aud the smaller ones are cheaper.
OXE WAY TO MAKE GAS CHEAP
"We find the burner much preferable to the
old system." said Mr. Meyran, "because it saves
gas and still gn es out plenty of heat. Our con
sumers like it better than tbe meter, because it
costs them nothing to have it put in, and does
better work. You know a gas meter sometimes
goes wrong. If it registers too much the con
sumer objects, and if it doesn't register enougu
-uekick bo wo find the mixer more satistact
or to all concerned."
While cas producers have been thinking of
tbe lucread comforts oi their customers (at
an increased nrice). the latter were doubtless
attending strict!) to business, happily ignorant
of the impendiug rise in the price. One con
sumer w as met on the street by a Dispatch
reporter, who queried
Do jou know that the price of gas is going
up?"
"I hope and trust that it won't," was tbe re
plj. ""but you kiion the tenaency of gas is to
reach out for high places, and there's no telling
how high it will go."
PAYING OFF A DEBT.
A Coming Entertainment at Old City Hall
for a AVoithy Object.
An entertainment of innch interest to tbe
Ladies' Circle of tbe G. A R., as well as to the
public in general, will be given in Old City
Hall, December 17 It will be under tbe able
management of Mrs. Cbarlcs Gerwig. Tbe
merchants of Pittsburg have promised to lend
a helping hand in the matter. Difterent trades
will be represented by young girls. Thus, tbe
idea of a bakery ill be carried out by fasten
ing crackers ot all shapes and designs to tbe
dress of tbe girl taking the character, bupper
will be a prominent leature of the occasion.
Tbe proceeds will be devoted toward paying off
the debt on the new G. A. K. Home at Haw
kins, which was dedicated last summer.
The Home is in a flourishing condition.
There are seven inmates and more will be sent
there in a few weeks. The ladles In charge of
tthe Home have worked very hard, and they
"expect to get tbe debt cleat ed off In due time,
if the interest shonn by the public continues.
The entertainment on the 17th of December is
epeciall to meet a payment of 1.000 that
must be made by tbe 1st of January. A meet
ing is to be held this afternoon to select the
committee of arrangements.
ONCE MORE IN PB.IS0N.
A Gay Detective Runs Against a Real One,
to His Sorrow.
John J. Reynolds was arrested again yester
day by Detective Bendelk This time it was for
impersonating an officer. Reynolds is charged
with visiting a large number of disorderly
houses and threatening to arrest tbe inmates if
all his w isbcs w ere not obej ed. He even had
some of them handcuffed.
When searched he was fonnd to have a badtre
of the Granite Detective Agency, of Cincin
nati, a revolver, handcuffs, nippers, dark lant
ern, and the o ber paraphernalia of a nickle
library detective,
Reynolds is the same man who was sent SO
days to the workhouse on Saturday for assault
and battery, but his release was secured on a
writ.
THEIR REVENUES REDUCED.
Cost in Court Cases Must Go to the City
Mayor GourleyLajs Down the Law to
Police Magistrates All Ends In Har
mony. Mayor Gourley bad a conference with the
five police magistrates yesterday afternoon
with tbe result that a big bole was ripped
in the pockets of each of the police court
judges.
Ever since the new charter went into
effect the police magistrates baye retained
costs in all the cases which hare gone to court.
Tbey held that they took those cases as Alder
men, and an act of Assembly regulating that
office gave them the right to retain all such
costs.
The ordinance creating the office of police
magistrate says all such costs be returned to
the city. Mavor Gonrley holds that while a
Stale law does give to the police magistrates
the privilege of keeping tbe costs in court
cases, the men are appointed and act under tbe
city ordinance, and therefore must give to tbe
city the costs in court cases of a criminal nature
where the information has ueen made by a po
lice officer or any city officiaL
Tbe magistrates all acquiesced gracefully to
the Mayor's Interpretation of the, law, and
hereafter all such costs will find a resting place
"n the City Treasury. None of the costs tor the
past three months have been paid out by the
County Controller, and will therefore be turned
over to the city.
A FAREWELL TESTIMONIAL
By the Handel Musical Association to Prof.
Amos Whiting.
Prof. Amos Whiting and his interesting and
accomplished daughter. Miss Carrie, will be
tendered a reception this evening by the
Handel Musical Association at the residence
of Mrs. E. J. Snead, on Knoll street. The affair
is a complimentary farewell to tbe talented
professor, who has for tbe past year so success
fully handled the baton for the association that
will this evening regretfully bid him adieu.
Toledo is to be the future home of Prof.
Whiting and his family, Kndaycvenlng being
the time decided upon for the departure, which
will insure a choral of immense proportions a
competent leader in tbe Ohio city, but will
leave a very flourishing association In this city
leaderless.
Tbe course to be pursued by tbe Handel As
sociation is not yet decided upon. A disband
roent of so promising a chorus is not to be
contemplated, but whether it will become part
of Carl Rctter's great May Festlal choral
force, or remain a distinct organization under
tbe directorship of some other musician, is a
matter ot speculation. To-night, however, the
affairs of state will be forgutten, and with good
wishes for mutual prosperity, will tbe director
and the directed spend tbe evening.
ANXIOUS TO FIGHT A DUEL.
Two Englishmen Try to Rent a Room in the
Soutlulde Market.
Two neatly-dressed Englishmen walked into
Marketmaster McDonald's office, on tbe South
side, yesterday and said they wanted to rent a
room for an hour. Mr. McDonald asked them
what they wanted of the room. Tbev an
swered that an old feud had existed between
them for a long time, and tbey had decided to
settle it by seeing who was the best man.
The men were not under tbe influence of the
intoxicants, and were very gentlemanly in
their demeanor. On tbe face of each there
was a determined look that showed they hated
each other in a way that must be settled by a
persoual struggle. Mr. McDonald said he
could hardly accommodate them, but told
them that if tbey would go to the Twenty
eighth ward station Captain Stewart might
give them a room. The men quietly left the
office and hare not been seen or heard of since.

meeting at the Monongahela House yesterday
afternoon. They were acting as a committee

Applications from all the institutions in
Western Pennsylvania were considered, and
tbe committee will make its recommendation
at the next general meeting, which will be held
in Harnsburc on Wednesday next, Tbe mem

FOOTBALL THE FAD.
The Brooklyn Game Attracts Many
Admirers From Pittsburg.
A UNIFORM TARIFF DEMANDED.
Col. Haling?, of Oil City, Thicks Delamater
Was Badly Alnsed.
EASTERN PASSENGER MEN IN THE CITT
Pittsburg is essentially a college town,
and it can furnish its quota of graduates
with any other city in the country.
The boys have not forgotten the sports on
the campus, and that rough-and-tumble
game of football still has many admirers
here. It was hard to tell last evening which
was the greatest attraction, a Thanksgiving
to be spent in New York or the football
game to be played in Brooklyn between
Princeton and Yale; but whichever it was,
the eastern trains on the Pennsylvania road
were crowded, and it was necessary to put
three extra sleepers on tbe 7:15 train to
accommodate all tbe people.
A THANKSGIVING IN NEW TOBK.
There were any number of young folks, par
ticularly girls, who were going over to New
York to eat their Thanksgiving dinner, inci
dentally to seethe game, you know, and then
do some shopping before le turning home, but
so far as that goes Pittsburg merchants are
well supplied with all sorts of Christmas gifts.
Mr. and .Mrs. Rafferty were on the train, and
tbey intend to make a social visit in tbe East.
Charles Robinson, ex-member of tbe Legisla
ture from Allegheny, seemed to be the leader
of the football contingent. "Hello, old man,
goinc over to see tbe gamer"' was the err
heard on all sides as the young fellows with
light grips and top overcoats commenced to ap
pear. There were men from Princeton and
Yalo. and the partisans, of course, stood by
their respective clubs. "1 think," said a Yale
admirer, "our boys lost the game with Harvard
to turn the tide of betting, and pull in the
Harvard lambs on the borne stretch. But there
is no use talking, fellows, our club is weak this
jear. Some of the best rushers were hurt
early in the season, and others are sick."
SOME OP THE ENTHUSIASTS.
In the crowd who have gone and will go are
John Moorhead, J. C. Shoemaker, "V. R.
ben ell, Arthur Kennedy, Attorney Gearing,
William Patent, Charles Montooth, Joseph
Home, Ben Law and James Fahnestock.
Chairman Abbott, of Carnegie, Fhipps & Co.,
was on the train, but he was bound for Wash
ington on private business. When asked if it
was not to confer with Secretary Tracy about
the tests to be made with the new nickel armor,
he denied it. The afternoon reports from
Washington stated that the Bethlehem Iron
Works and Carnegie. Phinps fc Co. would
make the plates for the Government. Mr.
Abbott said he didn't know anything about it.
But the football cranks took possession ot
the depot. "Ah, my boy." remarked a promi
nent local admirer of the game, "baseball is
not in it. It is too tame. Why, I yell like an
Indian when I seo tbe fellows struggling on the
field, and 1 never could do that over a home
run at a critical stage." Tbe ladies also were
much interested iu the outcome, and some
wore Yale colois while others honored Prince
ton. AFBAID OF JAY GOULD.
Agents Don't Like His Scheme to Fool East
ern Passenger Traffic
The latest move of Jay Gould to get the
Western roads to agree to pool their passenger
business in the East and bave a general Kew
York agent appointed to divide up tbe traffic
between the roads and see that each one gets
its share, of course, does not meet with the ap
proval of the men whose beads .would drop, if
such a combination could be worked. The
Wizard of Wall street claims that too much
money is spent in drumming up trade, but tbe
agents reply that the roads make by it
in the end. Manufacturers have atteinnted
such schemes before, but tbey bave invariably
resulted iu failure. After all. each one prefers
to have bis own representative.
If Jay Gould controls the Missouri and Union
Pacific road, and through the Uockafellers,
can influence tbe Northern Pacific and the
Southern Pacific, through CP. Huntington, he
may put his passenger plans into operation on
those lines. The Eastern agents do not feel
easy over tbe situation, and tbey frankly admit
it. It would be a good-sized plum for some
body, but it is not probable that the lines would
keep faith with each other very long, if such a
deal could be accomplished.
NO LEGISLATION NEEDED.
The City Controller Saj He Can Take Care
of Bridge Appropriations.
Controller Morrow does not think any bridge
legislation is needed in Pittsburg. While talk
ing yesterday of the bill prepared by City At
torney Moreland, the Controller said: "I do
not believe any special legislation is needed on
the bridge question. I have sufficient power to
withhold from the sinking fund any money
that is appropriated for any special purpose.
Every year I carry over a balance of the appro
priation for street improvements.
"I interpret the law to mean that money ap
propriated for auy special purpose can be held
out of tbe sinking fund until that purpose is
accomplished, even it the work is not begun
before tbe end of the year. There is a possi
bility that the bill may be declared unconsti
tutional, and 1 cannot see any need for such an
act."
DELAMATEH MUCH ABUSED.
Colonel Hillings Thinks Ills Young Friend
Deserved a Better Fate.
Since the election Colonel Willis J. Hulings,
of Oil City, hrs been keeping very quiet, but
he appeared in his old place in the lobby of the
Monongahela House last evening. "Well," be
began as tbe renorters gathered abont him,
"it was too bad to see so good a young man as
Delamater abused and vilified as he was in the
last campaign. It makes one almost despair
for the good sense of the American voters. In
other States tbe McEinley bill was too stiff for
some of the weak-backed Republicans, hut
then there is always a reaction after Con
gressional legislation is passed.
"If the force bill were to go through, there
would be another rcbonnd, and I am afraid
not enough Republicans will support it. Surely
one cannot see any barm in providing for an
honest election, and that is what the passage of
this bill means."
A PLEASED DEMOCRAT.
Sir. Luring "Wants a Turin Built on n Uni
form Basis.
Major AlonzoLoring. the venerable Wheeling
nail manufacturer, registered at tbe Mononga
hela House last evening. He is a good-natured
Democrat of the tariff reform school, aud he
wants to know If any ot his persuasion belong
to the free trade breed.
'The result of the election suits me very
well," he said, in speaking of the late cyclone.
"I am for protection, but I would have It on
some uniform basis. Why put the duty on
steel rails 50 per cent higher than on soft steel?
It costs us just as much to buy our iron and
coke as it does tbo rail manufacturer. These
inequalities should be corrected. I am not
afraid the Democratic victory will injure busi
ness. Tbe nail trade is very good at present,
and I hope it will keep ud."
He was accompanied by C. R. Hubbard, an
other Wheeling nail man.
COMMANDEB BEITEB HEBE.
He Had Charge of the War Vessels Near
"Where Barrundia Was Shot.
Commander George C Reiter, of the United
States Navy, arrived in the city last evening ou
the limited, and went out to visit his sister at
Edgcwood. He was in charge of the Ranger
and another man-of-war, tbe Government ves
sels near by where Barrundia was shot on the
City of Panama.
When asked if it was not time that he was
called home to lay the facts surrounding the
case before tbe State and Navy Departments,
be replied that if he was, he didn't know any
thing about it. The commander refnsed to
talk about the shooting, or to express an opin
ion one way or another. His report will soon
be presented to Secretary Tracy.
EASTEEN AGENTS IN TOWN.
A Baft of Passenger Men Strike the City
Together.
A number of Eastern passenger agents rep
resenting Western roads struck Pittsburg yes
terday all in a heap. One of the first seen was
the genial Pat Conley, who speaks for the
Chicago, St. Paul Kansas City road at Phila
delphia. He is the Eastern representative of
the line and very clever In his business.
L. S. McClelland, Southeastern agent of the
Wabash, John R. Pott, Traveling Passenger
Agent of tbo Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul,
at Wllllamsport, -and W. G. Mason, Division
Passenger Agent of Erie system, at Youngs

PLEASJiD WITH PITTSBUBG.
The Atchison Freight Agent Makes His
First Visit.
A. P. Tanner, Assistant General Freight
Agent of tbe Atchison, Topeka and Kansas
City road, was In the city yesterday. He went
to New "fork last evening. Mr. Tanner had
never been in Pittsburg, aud he was much im-
Fressed w.'th the local enterprise he saw manl
ested all around him. He thinks Pittsburg
Is a great city, with a yery bright future be
fore it, -
He states that the volume of traffic in the
West is keeping ufi and tbe outlook for trade
during the winter Is very good.
OIL LAND BOOMERS.
Two Virginians in the City Trying to Inter
est Pittshirgers. .
Dr. R. Latum and R. K. Sullivan, of Har
risonburg, Va., are in the city, stopping at the
Seventh Avenms Hotel. They came here in
tbe Interest of their city, which is just now un
dergoing a boom on account of discoveries of
oil, gas. and minerals in paying quantities.
They brought with them numerous samples of
petrolenm and have left three gallons at one of
the local refineries as an experiment.
The gentlemen will stay until Sunday, and
expect to take rome Pittsburgers back with
them to see wbat is in the country.
Delayed by Bad Weather.
John A. Wood, one of the Erie Canal Com
missioners, said yesterday that the work on the
surveys bad been delayed on account of the bad
weather, but they would be ready with the re
port for the Legislature.
One of Quay's Big Catches.
On Postmaster McKean's desk is an immense
scale taken from a 160-pound tarpon caught by
Senator Quay, in Florida, on November 18.
Tbe scale is four inches wide.
AN ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
August Hoffman Fires a Bullet Into Himself
and Will Likely Die.
A young, unmarried German, named August
Hoffman, made an attempt to end his exist
ence yesterday afternoon, that will likely
prove successful. Hoffman boarded with Mrs,
Vosauhl. at No. 2746 Laurel avenue, Sixteenth
ward, and worked in Carnegie's Thirty-third
street milk
About 3 o'clock he came home and went
directly to his room. A few moments later he
rushed down stairs and into the back yard,
holding a Sz-caliber revolver in his hand. He
fired three shots into the air and the fourth
into bis abdomen. He then attempted to shoot
himself in the temple, but Mrs. Vosauhl and
her daughter disarmed him. when he fell un
conscious. He was removed to the West Penn
Hospital, and it is thought will not recover.
Last spring Hoffman tried to kill himself four
times, his favorite weapon being a revolver,
and his friends regarded him as off his mental
balance.
Trinidad, Colo.,
Is a city whose marvelous prosperity does
not depend upon crops or rainfall to any
great extent. The great industry there now
is the mining of tbe coal, and the payrolls
of that place from this source alone aggre
gate $125,000 per month in a city of abont
10.000 people. In the meantime the pro
duction of coal and coke is being expanded
very rapidly, while iron works, smelters aud

PITTSBURG'S FAVORITE TENOR
Selects the Everett Piano in Preference to
AU Others.
Mr. H. B. Brockett, Jr., the well-known
and popular singer and teacher, purchased
a beautiful Everett piano for his new home,
in the East End, last week. In choosing
the Everett, Mr. Brockett but emphasizes
the opinion of all our leading musicians who
have seen aud heard it, which is, that all
the qualities requisite to a strictly first-class
piano are brought up to the greatest degree
of perfection in the Everett; Purchasers
who want the best, should not tail to see
them at the warerooms of Alex. Boss, 137

A Noteworthy Exception.
From the Kimball (8. D.) Graphic
While the columns of the Graphic are
open to any and all unobjectionable adver
tisements, yet it is quite impossible for us
to'speak knowingly ot the merits oi the va
rious articles of "merchandise advertised.
Particularly is this true of patent medicines.
But there are exceptions occasionally, and a
noteworthy exception is the celebrated
Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy. This now
universally known medicine has been ad
vertised in the Graphic for four or five
years, but not until recently had we any per
sonal knowledge of its wonderful efficacy,
which has come about through the prevail
ing influenza and the stubborn cough that
has so olten attended it. In the writer's
family this medicine has on several occa
sions this winter cured a cough that baffled
any and all other remedies; and the number
of families in Kimball and vicinity in
which this remedy has been used with like
effects attests to its valne as a specific for
coughs and colds of every nature. wsu
SEASONS WHY
You Should Buy the Everett Piano.
Because it is one of the finest pianos man
ufactured and is being selected by our lead
ing musicians for their own homes. You can
buy it $75 less than any other piano of equal
merit sold in these cities. Yon can buy it
on terms of payment ranging from all cash
down to $1 per week. If you don't under
stand why this is so call at the warerooms
of Alex. Boss, 137 Federal street, Alle

OYER THEIR TRACES.
Painters Are Kicking Against Making
a Fight for Eight Hours
WITHOUT AID FROM OTHER TRADES
Two-Thirds of the Puddling- Furnaces Will
Go Back to Coal.
A GROCER'S DR1TER5 OUT ON STRIKE
The movement in favor of the eight-hour
system next spring will not be brought
about in tbe manner at first outlined by the
Building Trades' Council.
Some time ago the painters and deco
rators were selected as the ones to make the
demand first, with tbe understanding that
if they were successful all of the other
trades would follow. Now that'the painters
have nearly all voted in favor of the propo
sition, they are beginning to kick oyer the
traces, and do not want to proceed unless
all the other trades agree to combine and aid in
having the demands granted.
It is argued in this way: If the painters
make the move and win, all the other organ
izations win without making tho effort; but tf
they lose, theirs is the only organization that
suffers from the defeat. The painters do not
feel disposed to make the fizbt for any but
themselves, and it is said will reconsider their
vote on the matter unless they can be sup
ported by the other trades. At the next meet
ing of the Building Trades' Council the matter
will bo discussed and a proposition to submit
tbe eight-hour question before each trade
separately will probably be considered.
An effort was made to see some of the Building
Trades' agents yesterday, but the headquarters,
on Hmlthrteld street, were locked up all day
and evening, and none of the men were to be
found. Tbe matter was the general talk, bow
ever, among labor leaders last night. One of
ficial said: "It Is very cemstn the painters will
not allow themselves to be singled out to make
a fight for some one else, and they are wise.
To make that move properly, all ought to com
bine." It Is supposed the Building Trades expected
to assist the painters, and that tbe latter were
simply to appear as the only organization de
manding shorter davs in order to deceive the
contractors, but they tumbled to the scheme
soon enough to save their own reputation in
case the movement is defeated.
A call was made at tbe office of tbo Builders'
Exchange for the purpose of learning bow the
contractors regard the latest movement. Ex
change Clerk McAfee said he bad not beard of
it, but continued: "I never could see bow it is
going to be a benefit to have the elght-houi
day adopted. Suppose the men win and they
receive ten-hours' pay for eight hours' work,
the difference would just be added to the cost
of the buildings and the proprietors would be
the losers. It will not mako any difference to
the contractors. I know of no very large
builoing erected in this city during tbe past
year on which the contractors were not com
pelled to change their estimates two or three
times in order to reduce the cost to what the
owner wanted to expend. This was owing to
an increased cost of material and labor for
which tbe owner is alwajs made to pay and not
the contractor." .
EEMODELIHG FOB COAL.
Two-Thirds or All Furnaces May Give Up
Gas Before Spring.
The manufacturing firms are having consid
erable trouble remodeling their furnaces in
order to go back to tbe use of coal. The Na
tional Tube Works Comoauy has 15 double fur
naces that must be rebuilt. In the Republic
mill on the Southside there is a department of
14 double furnaces wnich will have to be torn
down. The one department of 26 single
furnaces are now being remodeled, and as soon
as this is done, which may he this week, work
on tbe others will be commenced. In the Clin
ton mill 12 single furnaces bave been changed
back to coal. The puddlinc forge in the mill at 1
jiuivaie is equivalent to au furnaces; 21 are
single ones and 2 are quadruple, with no simi
lar ones in any of the Pittsburg mills. These
will also have to be remodeled.
Since the change back to coal has been made
the run In nearly every mill is without much
interruption iu double turn. The greatest in
convenience that fs being experienced by any
firm is Mnorbead Brothers & Co. Thev have
more orders than they could till if their mill
could be run on double turn, but in tbe finish
ing department it is only halt capacfty. which is
during tbe night, because tbe gas company re
fuses to supply them during the day.
Oliver Brothers fc Phillies are making ar
rangements tn go back to coal. The furnaces
in tbe mill at South Fifteenth street aro all to
be changed this wek.
The change of all the furnaces in the Sligo
mill, of Phillip. Nimick & Co., will be made
this week.; This firm has their own coal mine.
Tbe difference or the gain in this is that tbey
can pay for the extra labor and still make a ton
of iron cheaper with coal than with gas. There
are only two mills on the Sonthside with a full
supply of gas. Thev are A. M. Byers fc Co. and
J. Painter's Sons & Co.
In tbe old Pennsylvania forge mill the pud
dlers are working three heats a turn and a
chance back to coal is not likely, as tbe Balti
more and Ohio Bailroad Company has pur
chased the proiierty and an order to remove tbe
works is looked for at almost any day. It is
expected by next spring it will be removed to
tbe new site at Mansfield.
There are 11 mills in Allegheny county in
which 3o4 puddling furnaces are now using
coal, but all heatine furnaces excepting in two
mills are supplied with gas. Altogether, there
are 1.129 pudulins: furnaces in this county. Tli.it
would leave still 7to using gas, but if the
change anticipated has to be made, there will
not be one-third of all the furnaces that mil
be supplied with gas at the end of the eoming
winter.
THE STBIKE APPB0VED.
T. C. Jenkins & Co. Will be Asked to Re

The drivers employed at T. C. Jenkins & Co's.

tnrned to work he receiveda notice to call at the
iirBce for bis m'M o The other drivers held
a meeting immediately and decided that
tbe ui.ui ouuulu iu reinstated. This tho firm
refused to do. and the other driven went out.
Tbe Executive Board of D. A, 3, K. of L., held
a meeting last uicht, and approved the strike,
and a letter was addressed to S. C. Jenkins &
Co. asking that Birch be reinstated.
It was stated at K. of L. headquarters last
night that the case bad been tborougbly inves
tigated, and that tbe board had decided that it
would allow no one to be discharged for being
sick, and that unless Birch is reinstated this
morning all the warehousemen, 60 111 number,

FOUND DEAD AT HIS CLUB.
Sudden Call of W. S. Pnrviance, a Popular
Pittsburg Lawyer.
The Allegheny county bar was plunged into
gloom yesterday by tbe announcement of tbe
death of W. S. Purvlance, Esq., for Win, as he
was familiarly called, stood high In esteem,
both as a lawyer and a genial companion. Mr.
Purvlance was found dead in a room at tbe
Dnquesne Club House. He bad been detained
In the city, and went to tbe club to spend the
night and It is supposed that he fell dead in
the morning while dressing. He lived in
Sewickiey. Dr. Bmgaman was summoned
when the body was found about 9 o'clock, and
he stated that death was caused by heart dis
ease. Mr. Purvlance was born In Butler, and Is said
to have been 19 years of age, though some of
his intimate friends think be wasnmler45.
His father was the late Samuel A. Pnrviance,
who" represented the Twenty-third Congression
al district in Congress tor a number of terms.
He was also Attorney General under Governor
Cnrtin. W. S. Purvlance graduated at Prince
ton College in 1E61. and was admitted to tbe
bar in this city In IKftJ and was associated in
tbe prautice of the law with his father until tbe
death of the latter, the firm name bcin- B. A.&.
W. 8. Pnrviance. He has. since his father's
death, continned the practice. His wife wa a
Miss Conley, of Philadelphia. She ind three
children survive him. Deceased was noted for
ability, honesty and honor. His death was an
nounced in tbe various courts yesterday, and
a bar meeting will be held this morning, to take
appropriate action.
A MEN AGEBIE IN A JUBY BOX.
Some of the Queer Things That Are Some
times Seen in Court.
Mr. Harry E. Armstrong, clerk of Judge Ew
ing's court, bad his hands full for a time yes
terday. He had housed the criminals in the
jury box, when he discovered that be had an
agglomeration superior to any "Happy Family"
that ever traveled with any "great moral aggre
gation." In tbe jury box. side by side, sat Will
iam Lamb and George Bear, and the latter
wore classes as though to critically inspect bis
mutton. The subject in dispute was a horse
and a butcner was tbe principal witness. The
Lamb sat immediately between tbe Bear and
the butcher, thus being placed between the
devil and the deep sea, but there was not a
symptom of trouble and all went on as smoothly
as is promised on that millennial time when the
child shall put his hand in safety in the den ot
tbe cockatrice; tbe Hon and lamb shall lie down
together and a little child shall lead them; when
nations shall beat their swords into plowshares
aud spears into pruning hooks and shall study
war no more.
This juxtaposition was paralleled some years
ago when the divorce cise of Crow versns Crow
was tried. George W. Quail. Eq., was Com
missioner, and a man named Peacock was a
witness, and after the libellaut got her divorce
she married a man named Hogg.

THE JEOLIAN ECHO STOP.
Wonderful New Effects.
One of the most entrancing musical effects
ever produced is brought out by the new
third pedal of the opera pianos. It is called
tbe iEolian Echo, and its use enables tbe
performer to bring forth the most delicate
aud fairy-like effects. Its soothing influence
upon nervous persons and those in delicate
health, who cannot endure tbe noisy practic
ing of their children, is truly wonderful,
and, added to this gossamer faintnessof tone,
you have the overwhelming grandeur and
brilliancy of sound all of which has made
the Opera pianos so immensely popular in
this city and all over the State and country.
These glorious Opera pianos surpass all
others (except the Steinway aud Conover),
and tbeir cost is very reasonable. The im
mense durability of the Opera enables the
Messrs. leber& Bro., 506 Wood street, to
fully warrint tbem for eight long vears. A
call at Kleber & Bro.'s, 506 Wood street,
aud an examination of those splendid new
three-pedal Opera pianos is respectfully so
licited. Croup Has Lost Its Terrors.
Mr. John ri. Cullom, editor of tbe Gar
land News, Garland, Texas, writes as fol
lows: "I wish to add my testimonial to tbe
efficacy of Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy
for croup. That dread monster has lost its
terrors for us since we began using the
remedy. It never fails to give speedy relief
in the worst cases of croup, and we always
keep a bottle in the house and recommend
its use to our friends whose little ones are so
liable to be attacked with croup during the
winter months." wsu
Where Language Falls.
Language is hardly strong enough to ex
press my admiration of the merits of Cham
berlain's Cough Bemedy. It is the best
remedy for croup and whooping cough I
have ever used. During the past 18 years I
bave tried nearly all the prominent cough
medicines on tbe market, but say, and with
pleasure, too, that Chamberlain's Cough
Bemedy is the best of all. Thomas Bbodes,

Operations for a Time.
EBSDIiT OP TESTEBDAI'S HEABIKGS
The crusade against wholesale liquor
dealers by the police department went on
merrily, yesterday.
Tbe greatest activity was manifested in
tbe Third and Southside district, where
seven persons were given a ride in tbe hur
ry up wagon. In the first police district a
whole bundle ot warrants was sent out, but
only four men were brought in. However,
to-day many more arrests are expected.
There is a possibility that the war will not
stop in Pittsburg, but will cross to tbe
Northside. The police officials wondered
last night why nothing had been done in
Allegheny, where it is well known many of
tbe wholesale houses are so sitnated as to
easily carry on the side-door business and
sell by the drink.
Leopold Brown was the first one to arrive
at Central station last night. His place of
business is at 378 Fifth avenue, where, it is
said, his retail trade was a handsome one.
His bail bond was soon adjusted, and he
only said au revoir as he left, lor he will re
turn again.
G. H. Neeley, who dispensed smiles"
at No. 1 First street, next appeared. He
was there because bis license did not give
him the privilege of selling such small
"smiles" as he was in the habit of pushing
over the counter. It was also darkly hinted
that he allowed smiles to be imprisoned on
his premises in "growlers," both human
and of tin.
MISTAKES tS THEIB KEADIJfO.
James Powers, of 145 Sixth avenue, was
another poor man who had not read aright
his permission to ve nd Honors. He gave
bond for his appearance this morning.
At No. i Grant street John Drew sold liquors,
but last night he found pressing business at
Central station and this morning he will be
given a chance to square himself.
At the hearings yesterday Charles Larkins. of
337 Milwood avenue, and H erman Rentz. of 19
Fayette street, were each held for court. The
case of William G. Pohl, 313 Thirty-third street,
was held under advisement, and those of P.
Byrnes and Charles Campbetf. of 2501 Penn aye
nue, wore continned until 3 o'clock to-day.
Inspector McKelvey. of the Southside. yes
terday, first causeu tbe arrest of John Peebles,
wh.ch finished up the first batch of ten informa
tions for selling without license. The inspector
then changed his tactics, and bad six informa
tions made nut against wholesalers in different
sections of the Southside, for violating the
liqnor laws. The men, whose names are given
below, were arrested and gave J500 each for a
hearing, along with the other wholesalers, be
fore Alderman Snccop, to-day, at 4 P. M.
Inspector McKclvy said last nicht: "We
have arrested seven more to-day, and will now
rest on our arms for a time.
OI7GHT TO BE A WABXIXQ.
"I think that the arrests made should be
warnintr enouzh to others encazine in lllezal
f selling or violating the liqnor laws. I do not
giory in senuing tnese men to tue wornnouse.
I don't want to do it. It pains
me to have the necessity arise for
taking such action, and no one would
be more happy than 1 to see them all enjoy
their liberty. 1 am here to do my duty, and if,
after a warning thev then still violate the laws,
then tbey must suffer the consequences, and
cau blame no one but themselves. 1 shall have a
close watch kept on all wholesalers, and they
needn't think because we bave temporarily
suspended operations that they can go on
violating tbe law. If tbey do a square business
no fears of arrest may no entertained, but if
tbey do not. they may expect some day to have
another grist of arrests made."

the Third district: Victor Xlorcb, 2214 Carson
