THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH,. SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 80. ' 1S90.
SOMETIMmN ORDER
Judges White and llngee Decide Thai
Work on the Sabbath is Not
Always Unnecessary.
THEY DISCHARGE AN OIL DEILLER
Who Wss Charged With Working SeTen
Days a Week That a Valuable Well
-Slight ot Be Destroyed.
A LITTLE QUESTION OF JUKISD1CTI0X
tt'Mti ty the Ccrrt Scyhg the Urgency cf the Cue
Eemiadsd Actios.
The case of the Commonwealth Tersus
Cnarles Smoyer, charged with doinc un
necessary worK. worldly employment, etc.,
on Sunday, in the pumping of au oil well
on the Sahbath on the Graham farm at For
est Grove, appealed from the court
of "irquire Edniundson, of Robinson
township, was heard by Judges White and
3ia;ee yesterday afternoon.
The prosecutor, James Jloore, was not in
sight, and, in fact, one side of Forest Grove
appeared to be conspicuous by its absence.
As Attorney McCook remarked while arju
1115 the case, it was a sort of mongrel pro
ceeding;. The 'Squire committed Smoyerto
jail without making a levy, and giving him
a chance to pay the fine or re. use to no so.
As noted some time ago, the attention of
the Court was drawn to the irregularity of
the proceedinc; after Smoyer had spent one
night in jail, and his discharge was ordered.
He was not satisfied with this, however,
hence yesterday's proceedings.
A iTATESIEST OF THE CASE.
Mr. McCook made a statement of the case
to the Court. He said the company had lost I
a bailer in the well, and had attempted to
drill it out so it could case off the salt
water. It is well known that drill tools do
not fall with great force in a well when
there is 1,300 or 1,500 feet of fresh water in
it, and it is further known by even indiffer
ent students of physics, that they
fall with less force in salt
than in fresh water, though perhaps the
difference is not as great as an advocate
would make believe. "Whatever may be the
difference, it will be admitted that the
specific gravities of salt water and iron more
nearly rpproacu than those of fresh water
and metal.
3Ir. McCook continued and explained
that it was found alter three weeks' effort to
exhaust the salt water by pumping in secu
lar time and ceasing on the first day of the
week, that it could no more be accomplished
than could the task of the old lady who tried
tn Keep the tide out of her kitchen door by
sweeping back the Atlantic
iTErS TO SATE A WELL.
Meantime the salt was crystallizing in the
rock li-sures, and the weight of the water
added was driving away the oil and ruining
tee well; in fact it had been destroyed to
such an extent that it, in its present shape, is
i-caice worth operating, and will not be,
uu!?v. that l.ailcr can be gotten out, and it
cauoot be gotten out until the water is first
removed. ,
Mr. McCook had evidently studied the
niouus operandi of petroleum "mining, lor
he explained to the Courtthat the saltwater
crevices, and thote that furnished the oil,
were so close together that it was a work of
great nicety to make the division some
tiling like the quack doctor's explanation
ot how solids and fluids were divided bv a
clapper in the gullet, so that
one went one way and the other
anniher into their proper receptacles
m the numan stomach. The quack got alone:
very well until a skeptical patient chal
lenged him to explain how the clapper
wortcd when people ate mush and milk.
Mr. McCook was more iortunate. He
succeeded in making himself understand
able by the Court, and it saw the cogency of
his reasoning.
Mr. Patterson, one of the company, then
went on the stand, and being sworn, but
tressed Mr. McCook's statements. He said
that they had not gotten nearly so much oil
when pumping was suspended on Sunday,
and that it was necessary to pump half 01
the week before the normal production
could be reached after a day's cessation.
JUSTIFIED Br KECESSIir.
Both Judges stated that the argument, so
far as a decrease in production vras con
cerned, failed of effect, as it was not a ques
tion whether as much oil could be pumped
in six days as in seven, but whether cessa
tion oa Sunday tended to destroy the well,
and on this point they agreed with Smoyer's
attorney and employer, and justified" the
Sunday pumping on the ground that it was
a work of necessity to save property, and
made an order discharging Smoyer from the
offene imputed.
A question was raised as to jurisdiction,
it being contended that the case should
Lave been certified to the Common Picas
rather than to the Quarter Sessions. Mr.
McCook made an effort to sand-paper the
objection, but the Judges did not agree with
him, but finally stood on the ground that
speedy relief being imperatively needed,
jurisdiction'would be assumed.'
There are a number of other similar suits
from the same neighborhood pending, hence
t.ie importance ot yesterday's ruling, ijast
Suoday there were a number of wicked
beams walking, forcing the amber fluid into
tanks, but no one could be found oper
rting them. It is said the owners
bad pome kind of apparatus by which
they could set the machinery in motion on
Saturday night and it continued to "mote"
until Mond.iy morning. The Magistrate
Alderman Bell, held this to be work on
Sunday, contrary the azure enactment of
1794, and appeals were taken.
A fact was developed during yesterday's
hearing which does not seem to becenerally
known, viz: That it is C.2j times more
wicked to work on Sunday in Allegheny
county, except in cases ot necessity, than in
mnounding counties. There the fine is but
54. while in this county it is 25.
EE HEAD THE DISPATCH.

Nineteenth ward station last night that Miss
Marsaret McCarthy, who had escaped from

KO TEACE OF THE rUGITIVES.
DIcGraw and Dobson Successfully Hiding
From the Authorities
The police have discovered no trace of
Patrick McGraw and James Dobson, who
escaped irom the penitentiary on Friday"
evening. A man who knows McGraw said
he thought he saw him on High street yes
terday with a muffler around his face.
McGraw's friends live in the neighbor
hood. The general belief is that the fugitives
have left this part of the country, and that
their escape was the result of a plot pre
arranged with mends on the outside.
WOMEN AND THEIR WORK.
Interest of the Fair Sex In tho World's Fair
Proud of the Hoaor Bestowed on Them
by Congress Enthusiasm of Sliss Mary
I McCandless.
Miss Mary 11 McCandless, of this city,
who was recently elected as one of the Vice
Presidents of-the Board of Lady Managers
for the "World's Pair in 1893, returned home
from Chicago yesterday.
Miss McCandless 13 very enthusiastic in
the possibilities that are before the commis
sion, and, in common with the various mem
bers, takes great pride in the powers and
honors conferred upon them by Con
gress, it being the first recognition
of the kind e.ver bestowed upon ladies
by that body. The commission complete
is composed of 115 members, two each Irom
the States and Territories and District of
Columbia and uinc chosen at large iroui
Chicago. As the title of the commission
would suggest their many duties pertain ex
clusively to women's work in all of its
many spheres, aud the entire exhibit will be
kept toecther.
The Executive Committee is made up ot
20 members, and aside from this body there
are 11 committees to look alter details. The
meeting recently held iu Chicago was
merely for the purpose of effecting a per
manent organization. Oi the total mem
bership 109 representatives were present.
"While the real wore yet remains to be
done, the ladies all have ample faitn in
their ability to perform it with credit to
themselves and to the big show. Miss Mc
Candless said the ladies from the older
States were all astonished at the capabilities
suown by the representatives from the Terri
tories. They are also delighted with Mrs.
Palmer as a presiding officer. She is grate
ful in word and action, and at the same
time has a rare knowledge ot parliamentary
law. The Secretary, Miss Phmbe Conzins,
of St. Louis, is also a great lavorite. Miss
Couzins is an attorney, and on the death of
her lather, who was United States Marshal
of that district, was appointed to succeed
him.
Chicago people are all Tery enthusiastic.
Miss McCandless says, over the prospects of
the Exposition, and confidently expect to
eclipse auy erentof the kind known to
history.
AH IffHTJMAH FATHEB.
He Cruelly Maltreats His Family and Is Sent
to JaiL
Adam Mausbardt, an iron worker, who
resides at Bennett station, in Millvale
borough, had a hearing before Alderman
King, of the Southsidc, last night, on the
charue of cruelty and neglect of his family.
He was fined $10 and costs, aud committed
to the county jail lor 20 days.
Maushardt has a second wife living, with
one child, and five children by his first wife.
He is a man of means, hut utterly refused to
provide for his family. About two
months ago he drove the wife and
child from home and then turned
his own children out of doors. It was
shown that he had repeatedly threatened to
take their lives, and Agent Dean says these
traits have been characteristic of the man,
who is a heavy drinker, for some time.
The agent turned the five children oyer to
the Humane Society, and the man's wife
will go into court and see if she cannot com
pel him to care for his family.
In speaking ot the case Agent Dean .said
that a return to the whipping post would be
about the right thine: for this class of offend
ers, as fines and short imprisonments were
not severe enough.
CAIi'I FOOL ALL OF THEM.
Redskins in the Territory Xot Worked Up
Oier the Me&siah
Two Congressional delegates from the
Creek Nation, Brown Bear and Black
Beaver, passed through the city last even
ing for "Washintrton, to present their
claims before the House. Brown Bear
is a very intelligent Indian, talking Englivh
fluently. He was accompanied by his
squaw. Black Beaver was a representative
redskin, and answered all the questions put
to him with a monosyllabic srunt. -
Brown Bear said: "My people in the
Indian Territory are very intelligent, haying
their own churches and school houses. The
Messiah craze does not disturb us. We
have passed the superstition point. I have
seen statements in the newspapers to-day
th.it the Indiansin the Territory were also
looking for a Savior, and there was a pos
sibility of bloodshed, but I feel sure there
there is no truth in these reports. We know
better than to become excited over something
that does not exist."
A QUESTION OF JUBISDICTI0H.
Conncils Declared to be the Sole Arbiter of
tho Sinking I'und Operations.
The city will file a demurrer to the How
ard bill in equity which objects to the man
ner in which the sinking fund is operated.
City Attorney Moreland is confined to his
home by sickness, but his assistant, Mr.
Carnahan, will prepare the paper and will
file it on Tuesday.
The point will be raised in the demurrer
that the courts have no jurisdiction over the
sinking fund and its operations, but that by
an act of Assembly of 1SS3 the matter is
placed entirely in the hands of Councils,
whose decision is without appeal.
If the Court reiuses to sustain the de
murrer, the defendants will have to file an
swer to the charges. In that case, it is ex
pected that the Mayor, Controller and Treas
urer will file separate answers, as these gen
tlemen do not dispute all the allegations
made in the bill.

last evening, presumably to have a chat
with Senator Quay on his return from

Mr. Andrews never did talk much, but
he is saying less now than before. When
asked if he was shapening a meat ax for

be that these articles will be made at home
and the rates be reduced.
"Already manufacturers in New York

TI10UGIIT HE HAD MOXEI Iff THE HOUSE
The details of a daring attempt at robbery
in Allegheny came to light last evening,
when the story was given to one of the Alle
gheny detectives.
The scene was at Beaver avenue and
Stewart street, and a pretty, bright-eyed girl
suddenly finds herself a heroine. Her name
is Mamie Fitzpatrick.
Thomas Fitzpatrick, the girl's father, is
da'ylight watchman at A. Speer's plow
works. He is about 70 years old, and hat
been a very saving man. For a number of
years he has lived on Stewart street with
his wife. This fall their daughter, who'has
just completed her education in a convent,
returned home.
Thomas Fitzpatrick is well known all over
the lower part of Allegheny, and wonderful
stories of the hoards of money he keeps
hidden in his house are told, - When asked
about the truth of such stories he always
gives evasive answers.
DA KING ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY.
Some persons believed, his wealth was hid
den at his home, nnd shortly after 2 o'clock
Thanksgiving morning an attempt was
made to rob his house. Mrs. Fitzpatrick,
who is much younger than her husband,
was first awakened by the noise the intruders
made. She called her daughter,-and as the
girl opened the door she came face to face
with the burglar, and saw another man 011
the stairs. The mother fainted away, but
the little lady stood firm.
Just then Mr. Fitzpatrick rushed out,
and the burglar grabbed him nnd tried to
throw him down, but the old man held his
own until the robbers got a grip on his
throat.
For a moment the irirl stood terrified.
Then she started forward, when a voiee from
below cried that to move would be worth
her life. She swayed to and fro for a mo
ment, and then darted past the struggling
man. She screamed for help, but none
came. Hastily she hunted for a revolver,
which is always kept in the house, but
could not find" it. She could hear the
struggle behind her, and with one wild
iound she jumped through a window and
fell on the flat roof of the kitchen.
WILD CRIES FOB ASSISTANCE.
At the same time she wildly cried: "Save
my papa; they are murdering himl"
Some people were passing and rushed to
her rescue, but the girl was now so thor
oughly frightened that she tried to jump
from the roof, but those below yelled at her
to go back.
The girl's screams frizhtened the burglars
and they rushed downstairs and escaped
through the kitchen window into the back
yard.
When the girl was taken from the roof
she fainted. Her hands and face were
scratched and her nightdress was torn into
shreds. She was almost benumbed with the
cold, and her feet were toru and bleeding.
The lather was so excited oyer his daugh
ter's condition that he almost forgot the
dancer in which he had been placed.
"When all had become quieted a policeman
called and wanted to know if there was a
fire in the house.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BURGLARS.
One burglar i described by Mrs. Fitz
patrick and Mamie as being about 5 feet 9
inches high, rather heavy, wearing a dark
suit, black stiff hat and a white shirt. He
was very full in the face and had a dark
mustache. His companion was about as
tall, but much slighter in build. He bad a
smooth face and light hair.
A member cf the front office force was put
on the case, but there is little hope of catch
ing the men.
Mr. Fitzpatrick was interviewed last
night and said that if bis daughter had not
called for assistance he would have been
murdered. He was asked about the "story
of hi? haying money concealed in his house.
He only replied, "Does this house look as
it there was money hiddeu'in it?"
DUE TO ARROGANCE.
Why Mr. Henderson Thinks the Kepublicans
Were Turned Down.
Ex-United States Senator John Hender
son, of Missouri, passed through the city
last evening en route to Washington. He
said he had lost track of Pennsylvania pol
itics, and he would like to know something
about the causes of the Republican defeat
here. As Chairman Andrews happened to
b near by, the reporter turned him over to
him for the information. He doubtless
got it.
In a short chat Mr. Henderson said: "I
am still a Bepublican. and I see no reason
now to be disheartened. It is a good thing
to turn a party over, once in a while, and
remind the leaders that the power behind
the throne lies in the hands of the people.
When a party forgets the interests of the
voters, it is sure to meet with defeat. I
think the Bepublican party has been too
arrogant, nnd then the McKinley
bill passed on the eve of an important elec
tion did not strengthen our position. In
my State even the artisans as well as the
farmers voted against us. If the Kepublic
ans are wise and shape their policy to suit
the people. I see no reason why they should
not win 1892. Down my way Cleveland is
the craze among the Democrats, and the
Missouri delegation will undoubtedly be
for him. As for the Bepublican nominee,
he may be a man not dreamed of now.
Who knows?"

COX IS CAPTURED.
He is Arrested in Chicago, Where Ho Had
Been Stajinjr With Friends Ho Admits
Shooting 13c right, bat Says it Was Done
in Self Defense.
Thomas Cox, who is charged with shoot
ing and killing James Enricht at his moth
er's boarding house, Thirty-fourth street,
last Sunday, was arrected in Chicago yes
terday by Captain Hayes and Lieutenant
Wheeler, of tho Dtsplaines street station.
Cox arrived at Englewood last Monday;
and since then has been stopping with
friends at No. 72 North Curtis street, where
jhe was arrested.
Captain Haves had private information
regarding the murder, and arrested Cox be
fore notifying Pittsburg. He then sent a
tMegrnm "to Inspector McAleese, ot the
First district, who turned it over to Inspec
tor Whitchouse, of the Second district,
where the murder occurred. Captain Brophy
left for Chicago on the limited last evening
to bring Cox back.
When Cox was arrested he admitted the
killing, but claimed it was done in self-defense.
He would say nothing further tn the
officers, and refused to talk to a Dispatch
reporter. '
The peculiar feature of the arrest is the
fact that as late as uoon yesterday the police
of the Second district insisted that Cox was
still in hiding in this city, and also that the
Chicago police had received, no official
notice of the murder and of the disappear
ance of Cox.

shows how a member of the Institute appre
ciated his visit to Pittsburg. It is as fol
lows: 101 Palace Chambeiis,
9 UitiDOE Street.
Westminster, a. V., Nov. 13, 189a
JIT Dear Sir I think it my duty to send
you a few lines to say how much I feel I am
indebted to yon and all the members of the va
rious committees, and Indeed to everyone that
we met in the States, for the very delightful
time that you gave us. I enjoyed my visit Im
mensely, as I think we all did.
I may say that I regard the time spent in the
States as one of the brightest spots of my life,
and I look upon the information that I have
gained there as having given me a skeleton,
which, with the aid of the manv friends that I
havemado there, 1 shall b ope to clothe more
and more eacli successive year.
1 shall never try to repay your kindness, but
shall ever esteem It a privilege If you will allow
me to place myself and ray resources at your
disposal whenever you are in this conntry. You
will quite understand that 1 am now only ex
pressing my private views, and that you will re
ceive, in duo course, from 'our President, a
formal letter expressive of -our thanks and ap-
freciation of your kindness, as members of the
nstitute. Yours, verytrniy.

Captain Hunt was also remembered in
another way by the British visitors. Be ore
leaving America they presented him with a
solid silver pitcher, upon which was in
scribed: "In commemoration of valuable
services rendered by Alfred E. Hunt on
tour through Southern States, October,',1890."
A CHANGE ANTICIPATED.
Builders' Exclmngo Expected to Replace
Some Officers Next Year.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Builder's Exchange will be held to-morrow
afternoon at 2 p'clock. It is expected that
there will be a very large influx of new
members owing to the interest that has been
stirred up through the recent meetings held
by contractors and builders jn the Exchange
rooms.
The annual election of officers will be
held on tho first Monday in January and
preparations are now being made for that
meeting. It is hinted amons those who
seem to be In a position to know, that there
will be a change in some of the officers next
year. It is said the removal of one of the
officers at least, will take place, as a matter
of necessity to the future success of the
Exchange.
It is the desire of every member in the
Exchange to have the association on the
soundest possible basis by the time spring
rolls around, not only for the purpose of, es
tablishing uniformity in accepting contracts
for work and providing effective means for
the prevention of abuses and impositions in
the various trades, but to meet the combined
effort of tHe building trades organizations to
have the eight-hour day adopted.
Mr. Nieman, the contracting plasterer, is
authority lor the statement that the con
tractors will make a bitter fizht on the
eight-hour movement, and some lively times
may be expected next spring. The builders
are not prepared now to fight the workmen,
but they propose tn prepare, and as stated
in The Dispatch, after the first meeting
held by them, they will oppose any move
ment that may be made either individually
or collectively by the building trades.
THE WOBK OF SEE MONTHS.
Largo Increase Made in tho Membership of
the Knights of Labor.
During the past six months 52 newlocal as
semblies of the Knights of Labor have been
organized and 21 old ones revived. Among
the latter was the one composed of laborers
at the Bepublic Iron Works on the South
side. .
The organization generally is on the in
crease, and the membership' of D. A. 3 is
larger at present than it has been for two
or three years.
INEVITABLE AS DEATH,
What Mr. Powderly Thinks About tho
Necessity of a Third Party.
Mr. Powderly's official organ of the
Knights of Labor" has this to say in regard
to the position of the Farmeis' Alliance:
If the Flltv-second Conzress gives us no re
lief if they do not make an effort so to do
they, too, will be hurled from power. If a
Democratic House is disposed to aid us and a
Republican Senate oppose us, we will wipe the
earth up with tho American House of Lords
Wo shall wait patiently and see what the Dem
ocrats will "do; If tfcey do not aid us. then a
third party Is just as inevitable as death, -
r A Paper for CharleroL
The booming town of Charleroi, with its
glass factories, rolling mills, steel works,
etc., the product' of a year, will not leave
nut the intellectuil denArfmpnt in tiA n-nKj
rush. W. E. Keller, a well-known news
paperman 01 this city, has-decided to begin

about a week. It will be a weekly paper
devoted to the interests of the Monongahela
Valley.

Bank Clerks' Mutual Benefit Association

The Last Day for Gas.
Yesterday was the final day for the use of
gas in the puddling departments of the
PittEburs mills. The latfer will resume to
morrow with coal, and Pittsburg will once
more be the "Smoky City."
To Have Smoke Consumer!.

sumed, to place a smoke consumer on the
top of the stacks.

PEEPABING FOE THE CONTEST.
Central Trades Council to Have a Hand In
the Eight-Hour Fight.
The Trades Council is looting forward to
an unsettled condition ot the labor problem
next summer, aud at the regular meeting
took a decidedly important action on the
matter.
In view of the fact that the incoming
year promises to he a very active one for
labor organizttions, a committee was up
pointed to dralt a programme of live sut
jects for the consideration of the new
Council. From the interest-taken in the
matter it is probable that Some very inter
esting meetings will take place during the
coming year.
IHITATION STATMED GLASS.
ASouthsiderWill Visit Germany to Learn
How It is Made.
John Trenbauser, a saloon keeper on the
Southside, is said to be interested in a new
process for the manufacture of an imitation
stained glass, done in such a way that it
cannot be scratched or rubbed off. There
are but two places in the world at present
where this class of goods is made: Germany
and France.
Mr. Trenhauser will go to Germany next
summer mr the purpose of tamiliuriziug
himself with the process, and if he can in
terest enough capitalists in it upon his re
turn he may start a small factory.
CHRISTMAS RUSH AT KLEBERS.
25 Christmas Pianos and Orcans Sold.
It will hardly surprise our public to learn
that at this early date not less than 25 pianos
aud orsrans have been bonzht and set aside
at H, Kieber & Bro.'s, COG Wood street, lor
Christmas gifts, and to be delivered on
Christmas day. Among those we find Stein
way, Conover, Opera, Emerson and other
good makes; and the Burdette organs.
These are the leading pianos and organs of
the world, and all others are but imperfect
imitations of the same. Don't waste money
on mere imitations, but take the original
and genuine brands only, and you will have
no regrets and nd heartburnings.
At Kieber & Bro.'s yon can buy a piano
for 5300, or les, which the other dealers
make you pay$500 for. Kieber & Bro. are
the only house which warrants its instru
ments for eight years, and refunds the money
if proven defective. Kieber & Bro. are the
only firm who are personally entrusted with
the choice of instruments. None but time
tried goods are sold by Kluber & Bro., and
hence purchasers know that they absolutely
run no risk whatever in buying at their
establishment. It is universally admitted
that Klebers' is the safest and cheapest
place in the city to buy a piano or organ.
They are opening up a splendid Christmas
stock.

this is the magnet that attracts the crowds.

measure account tor their very low prices.
