Judge Thomas Smith, of Warrenton, Va.,
who has been at the Duquesne for several
dars, left last evening, over the Baltimore
and Ohio, for the South.
The Judse is one of the finest public
speakers in his State, which has always had
a reputation for its orators. In a chat about
the future of the Farmers' Alliance, he said,
sarcastically:
"It is a ood thins for the diiciples of
.Agricola to organize, as long as the keep
out of politics, but the instant they start a
third parly they are bound to come to
grief. The farmers feel that they have
been excluded from the counsels of the tno
great parties, and they now think if they are
properly represented that they can quickly
solve all the tough and puzzling problems of
government. This feeling was born of brood
ing over their adversity, and they are even
wild enough to imagine that if the conduct
of affairs is 'eft to them they can make the
rain tall and the sun shine when either is
wanted.
An Outlet for Disappointment.
"The chances are that disappointed men,
who can't get anything in the Democratic or
Republican parties, will rifle the Farmers'
Alliance for what it is worth. President Polk
may be a very disinterested man,
but he will look out for all the beneficial re
sults. As a third party the Grangers will
be inimical to Democrats and Republicans,
and botU parties will fight them. In this
case it is only a question of time until they
go to pieces.
"I am a Democrat, but I think every
Ood and honest Republican is opposed to
the lorce bill. In the South we regard it as
an attempt to force the whites into subor
dination to the negioes, and we will never
consent to tbe rule ot tbe blacks. "Ve don't
object to men of our own cuticle, cud if this
race were removed from us the South would
be indifferent to the Federal law. Even if
it is passed we will certainly devise some
plan to circumvent its operation.
Bayonets and Sabers at the l'olls.
"Intelligence would never submit to such
an outrage. The idea of placing officers at
the polls, with bayonets and drawn sabers,
savors more of Russian tryanuy than the
boasted Americau freedom. The attempt is
not made to pass this bill out of love for the
nero, but for the purpose of perpetuating
Repumicanism through him. Tbe South
ern people do not object to the black man.
"VVc acknowledge our dependence on him
and his worth in the commercial world as
an employe, and yet we would jrladiy sup
pla.i him to-morrow with unite labor.
In irgima we have always had a fair
ballot Tbe colored people are indifferent
to tbeir rights to vote, and in tbe extreme
South seldom exercise the prerogative. In
severiloi the Southern States like Louisiana
and Mississippi I believe they are in the
majority. It mafcet us angry when iforth
rrn Republicans make charges against us
which I know are not true. Isay frankly
that the ballot is fairer and more honest in
Virginia than in Pennsylvania, where white
men, I am told, are bought for money and
coerced to vole according to dictation.
"When these men come to tbe South and talk
about dishonest elections, is it any wonder
that we are provoked!"
THE THIEVES' HAEVESI.
V liy rickpockets Like to See Blaine Take
the btuinp.
Assistant Superintendent of Police O'SIara
is not afraid ot thieves taking advantage of
dark days in Pittsburg. He said yesterday
that the city is too well lit up now by
electricity for the operations of footpads.
"Do you know," continued the Superin
tendent, "we are not troubled much hy
thieves ju6t now? It is probable that pick
pockets will be on hand at the Cathedral to
morrow. "Wherever there are crowds there
you will find thieves. Perhaps you do not
know that crooks keep a record 01 all tbe
important events to come off in the United
Stales which will attract large crowds. I
have found tticse assignment books ou
several thieves I have captured at different
times.
"The thieves harvest comes every fourth
year during the Presidental campaign.
Tbey follow in the wake ot the prominent
speakers and gather in sheaves of pocket
books and watches. Thev are especially
delizhted when Blaine takes the stump.
He draws immense crowds, and holds his
audiences spell-bound by his oratory. "Why,
when Blaine was stumping the State lor
Beaver, and he spoke at Greensburg, 23
empty pocketbooks were louud in one shed
up there after the meeting, and among the
Tictims was State Chairman Cooper. "We
took charge 01 Blaine when he came to
Pittsburg, and carried the party through the
rest of the campaign without" loss. Conk
lmg used to be a great card lor thieves, and
they are always sure of making money
when Cleveland appears in public"
HIS HOHOE WAKTS KO MORE.
Mayor Goarley Aspires to no Further
Political Office.
Mayor Gourley is tired of being slated
for positions by amateur politicians. He
has bad his fill of office, and wants no more.
He spoke very plainly on the subject yes
terday. "I hear that some people imagine that I
am laying ropes to become Congressman,"
said His Honor. "1 am not. When my
term of office ss Mayor of the city ot Pitts
burg expires, I propose to retire to a little
farm now waiting for me and spend the rest
of my days in peace. I have one ambition.
I want to conduct the affairs of my office in
such a clean and competent manner as to
win the approbation of the citizens of Pitts
burg. I don't want to be Controller; I don't
want to be a Congressman. I want no
office whatever, and I propose to close my
political career in lb33, when my term ex.
pires.
'Time and again rumors have been spread
that I am aspiriug to other and higher po
litical positions than that I now occupy.
This gives me considerable annoyance and
sometimes much pain. I want it distinctly
understood that 1 propose to faithfully ad
minister the duties of my present office as I
understand them, and that when my term
expires I am out of politics so far as accept
ing office is concerned."
A PBECTY TEADEMABK.
The Dnqaesne Adopts the Coat ol Arms of
the Marquis.
Manager "William "Witberow, of the Du
quesne hotel, took great pleasure yesterday
in exhibiting to his friends and guests a
large-sized picture of the coat of arms of the
Marqnis Duquesne. He has had it copy
righted, and will use this escutcheon of the
distinguished French family as his trade
mark for the house. He will have It put on
his letter heads, etc
Mr. "Witberow has been working for nine
mouths to secure the coat of anus.
prrrsBUBG's love of abt.
Picture Stores Springing Up All Over tho
City and Making Money.
Chief Assessor Case is satisfied that Pitts
burg is booming up as an art center. Not
all high art, but a consistent love for the
true and beautiful. "I was rather surprised
a day or two ago," he said, "when the pro
prietor of a little picture store on "Wylie
avenue came in and swore to an annual
business ol 512,000, and taxpayers seldom
overestimate tbeir receipts. If he had said
$5,000 1 should have been more than satis
fied. By tbe way, have you noticed the
number of picture stores which have started
in this city within the past few years? They
are all doing a good business, too. There
are a dozen out Fifth avenue, any number
out Penn avenue, and you find them dotted
all over the outer wards. Pittsburgers are
becoming more elevated in very way
they are acquiring better morals and higher
tastes."
Mayor Gpurlav has noticed this growth of
love of art in Pittsburg. He saidr "It is
largely due to the fact that more attention is
being paid to art in the public schools,
especially the High School. Then we hate
the Pittsburg Art School and the School of
Design, and our local colleges and semi
naries make a feature of art. It is a healthy
sign to see a community interested in pict
ures, even if some ot them are crude. Then
you mnst remember that there is a large
number of persons in Pittsburg who have
been so busy for years making fortunes that
they had no time for art. ZTonr.tuey have
accumulated wealth, and they are enjoying
it."
WANTED IT DONE EIGHT.
A Connt TTho Attracted Much Attention in a
Barber Shop.
Real, lire counts from foreign countries
have not been a scarce article in America
for some years. The people have long be
come accustomed to the ways of royalty,
which they have cordially repudiated. Now
a Count must do something to distinguish
himself from other people. There was one
in Pittsburg last week from some of the
Southern islands below the United States;
but he was a business man and a very po
lite, clever fellow, even if his long black
imperial and mustachios added to his fierce
ness. The Count, like most people, wanted
everything done according to his tastes, and
he attracted considerable attention in the
Monongahela House barber shop by the
minute explanations he gave in having his
hair cut. He would instruct the barber to
cut a little here and there until he thought
the operation was satisfactory to himself.
"When it was finished he opened his shirt
front and powdered his neck and face, much
to the amusement ot the bystanders who
watched him. Tbe Count seemed oblivious
to his surroundings, and proceeded with his
toilet unconcernedly until it was completed.
QTJEEH ISABELLA ASS0CIATIOK.
Branches of the Society Being Organized by
Miss Hlndman,
Miss Matilda Hindman, who represents
the Queen Isabella Association in Pennsyl
vania, is in the city, preparing to effect an
organization of the society in this district.
She said to a Dispatch reporter yesterday:
"The organization is to commemorate
woman's work in the discovery of America
in the erection of a Queen Isabella statue at
a cost of $25,000. It is not to be sectarian,
orot any political faction. The organiza
tion will also establish social headquarters
in Chicago, where the members ot tbe or
ganization can meet during the fair."
Miss Hindman will besin at once to or
ganize this Congressional district into so
cieties of the above dharacter. Meetings
will be held lor that purpose.
THE KIND OF HAJI HE WAS.
He Acted on Principle in Accord With TTU
Interests.
Two belated citizens were having a heated
discussion on Fifth avenue below Smith
field. One charged the other with being
inconsistent, when his companion straight
ened himself out as well as he could and
said:
"You may talk as you please about my
lack of consistency, but laying all jokes
aside, I would have you understand that I
am a man of principle according to my in
terest." Theatrical Movements.
Tbe Baltimore and Ohio road secured the
lion's share of the theatrical business out of
Pittsburg this week. The Sea King com
pany, GO people, will go to Indianapolis;
Cora Tanner and her company, 25 people, to
New York; Sam Devere. 20 people, to Cin
cinnati, and the Irish Luck Combiuation to
KeKeesport and "Wheeling.
TEE GREAT
Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co.
The growth of this concern into its pres
ent colossal proportions is the direct result
of putting upon the market only the very
best and most reliable goods. Consumers
soon learned the prime values of the articles
they purchased, and "branch stores" quick
ly became a necessity, so that now "Tho
Great Atlantic and Pacific -Tea 'Co." are
cairying on their business with over 200
branch stores in the United States. Iu this
section of the country the-buslness is under
the able management of Mr, Owen Jones,
with the main store located at 34 Fifth ave
nue, and branches at 4314 Butler street,
6127 Penn avenue, 1713 Carson street, Pitts
burg; 118 Federal street, Allegheny, and
128 Fifth avenue, Mclveesport.
The business principle which has gov
erned this company has been and is to im
port and distribute teas and coffees directly
to the consumer for one small profit. In
this way the expense of "middle men" is
avoided, and they control absolutely the
purity and grades'of the teas and coffees sold
by them, o that to-day The Great Atlantic
and Pacific Tea Company stand at the head
as the largest importers and retailers in the
world. To further insure satis'action to the
consumers of tea and coffee this company
have their own brand of "A. and P. Con
densed Milk," which is, absolutely pure
and makes a cup of coffee deliciously rich;
also as a further protection to the healths of
their patrons they manufacture the A. and
P. Baking Powder, so cordially indorsed by
Prof. R. Ogden Doremus, of New York.
"Playing Grandmother" is the pleasing
and appropriate title or the new panel
picture to be presented to the purchasers of
teas and coffees from the 15th lo.thc 25th of
December. This picture is simply charm
ing, and a detailed description will be found
in another column of this issus of the Sun
day Dispatch. These are .not to be re
garded as inducements tobuy'tet and coffee,
they are simply intended as pleasing
souvenirs of this joyous season of the year,
when, as usual, the Great Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Company desire that their panel
picture shall be the most beautiful one
given away.

The Pittsburg Traction Company Once
More After Its Rival,
CLAIMING GRANT STREET EIGHTS.
E. H. Dnkill Proves His Title to Terj
Valuable Oil Leases.
FKEIGI1T AIOYLNG ON THE B. k 0. E0AD
The war between the Pittsburg and Dn
quesne Traction Companies has again gotten
both compauies into court Yesterday the
former filed a bill in equity against the lat
ter, to prevent the Duquesne from running
its cars on Grant street.
It is stated that the Central Passenger
Eailway Company and the Pittsbnrg, Oak
land and East Liberty Passenger Eailway
Company are owners of the right of way on
Grant street, between Fourth avenue and
Fifth avenue. Together tbey constructed
double tracks on the street, bearing the
costs equally, and for years run their cars
on the street. For some months the Central
Traction Company has been running cable
cars on the street, having altered tbe tracks.
Recently, it is stated, the Central company
assumed to make some sort of an agreement
with the Duquesne Traction Company, un
der which the Duqnesne company is to run
its cars over tbe tracks on Grant street.
The plaintiffs were not party to the agree
ment, and will receive no compensation for
the use of their right of rfay. Their rights,
they assert, have been violated by this agree
ment and it should be declared void.
It "also stated that the Duqnesne Trac
tion Company is about to operate its
line on Grant street, from Diamond street
to Sixth avenue, to "Wood street, to Fourth
avenue and to Grant street None of the
railways, however, leased to the Duquesne
Company has any franchise or right of way
on the streets named, and the Duquesne
Company's occupancy of them will be with
out authority of law.
AN INJUNCTION ASKED FOB.
The court is askeito grant an injunction
to restrain the Duquesne Traction Company
from operating its line on Grant street, be
tween Fourth and Filth avenues, and to de
cree that its operation on the streets named
is contrary to law and that the agreement
between the Duquesne and Central Traction
Companies he declared null and void.
Another matter that is worrying tbe man
agement of the Duquesne' considerably is
the question of employes to operate its cars,
when they are ready to start their road.
More than 600 applications have been re
ceived by Superintendent Bice for the posi
tions of motor-men and conductors. "When
it is considered that only 100 men will be
needed, and they must of necessity be ex
perienced ones, Mr. Bice's position is a per
plexing one. The Superintendent was seen
yesterday by a Dispatch reporter, to
whom he said:
"I do not know what we will do, exactly.
I know that we have received more than six
times as many applications as we need. Of
course.all say they are competent men, thor
oughly acquainted with the business. Some
ol them are employed on the other electric
roads iu the city, and some are from other
cities.
"Of course, we will do the best we can, and
select the men we consider tbe best suited.
I do not believe we will have, any trouble.
It will not be necessary for the men to know
the route at first. They trill soon learn
that. If tbe men are competent to do tbe
work we will be satisfied."
A STAET IN ABOUT TWO 'WEEKS.
Mr. Bice thinks the company will be
ready to start its cars in about two weeks.
The tracks are about all down, and the wires
are up all through the East End. He could
not make anv definite statement iu regard
to tbe starting of the road, saying that the
preparatory work was being pushed as
rapidly as possible, and that when it was
finished the cars would be put in motion.
In relation to putting on green men to
operate the cars, an employe of the Pleas
ant Valley Company said: "I am afraid it
will not be as easy a; Mr. Bice thinks.
How is a green man to know the route of
the Duquesne road, or how is a man that
never handled a car to be expected to
operate a motor? "Why, it takes some men
here a week to learn the business, and some
do not learn it then. It looks to me as
though they will have considerable trouble
teaching their employes their business."
A WESTVIEGmiA VICT0SY.
E. M. HnklU Proves His Title to Valuable
Oil Leases on tho Belt.
E. M. Hukill has just won tno important
suits in the courts of "West Virginia. The
decisions were handed down yesterday in
the Supreme-Court of the State, fixing iu
him the titles to valuable oil farms. One
was owned by W. B. Core, and the other by
A. M. Fox. The former contains 131 acres
on which there are six producing wells.
The latter contains 4D0 acres, on which a
well is being drilled.
Both farms are located squarely on the
belt and are considered to be among the best
in the Mt Morris district,in which they are
situated. The suits originated last June
over the ownership of the leases, the
plaintiffs attempting to prove that the
leases were forfeited by Mr. Hukiil. The
judgment of the lower court was against
Mr. Hukill, but the Supreme Court re
versed the decision, and making it final, as
this is the court of last resort The esti
mated value of the leases is 200,000. Mr.
Hukill, who was spoken to last night, said
this was not too high an estimate, and he
feels very jubilant over his victory. One
of the wells on the Core farm exceeds 150
barrels, and the others are fairly good wells.
WAITING FOE DEVELOPMENTS.
To-Day's 3Ieeting May Turn TJp Something
New in the B. & O. Strike.
The strike on the Baltimore and Ohio
Bailroad has not changed its condition
much since the men first quit work.
Through trains ran with unbroken regular
ity yesterday, although the men say that in
case tbe company attempts to fill the places
of the strikers serious complications will
ensue.
Local freight was moved with difficulty,
the company not being able to get many new
men. Everything was quiet at Glenwood
all day, and nothing will be done until alter
tbe meeting which is to be held there to-day
by tbe switchmen.
Chiet Traiu Dispatcher Day said last
night: "There reallv is no strike. These
men expressed a dissatisfaction at a rule we
established, and I simply told them that if
they were not satisfied tbey could come and
get their money. Thirty of them got their
time, and are no longer in our employ. We
will not reinstate them, but will fill their
places with new men by Monday, and will
continue our business without fear of inter
ference from the employes' association.
The men cauuot hope to be supported by the
switchmen."
Mr. Arlington Vigorously Defended.
The following communication is self-explanatory.
To the Editor ot Tbe Dispatch:
In one of your recent issnes there was a pub
lication that at our meeting beld on Tuesday,

There has been several publications Issued
through Western papers, trjing to injure the

every reason to believe that it all comes from
one individual; and, like- a boomerang, it will
come back to him and add already to his dis

Dr. Emmens, who is here expecting to

"I claim for this gun: First, a modified

aged to accumulate a respectable museum
at considerable expense. He has made a
specialty of weapons, pottery, watches, coins
and old letters and autographs.
Mr. Kelly has arranged his collection in
a little ante-room to his parlors in the hotel,
where he takes great pleasure In showing
them to his friends. He is well posted on
the pedigree and history of each one, and,'
like Artemas Ward, he makes his little
speech gracefully and quickly about the
specimens.
One side of the room is devoted to the
weapons, and it resembles a small armory
Old sabers, revolutionary firearms, more
modern rifles, braces of pistols, and agly
looking dirks and knives are grouped side
by side.
"WHERE THE WEAPONS "WERE FOUND.
Some of the guns and swords were picked
up on Southern battlefields,. and a few an
cient flint locks were used by the patriots
against the British.
Manager Ketly pointed ont a long pistol
which belonged to Henry Clay. At his
death he gave it to his son, who was killed
in Texas. It finally driited into the hands
of Mr. Kelly, who prizes it very highly. A
long rifle, which is one of tbe remnants of
the Custer massacre and was found on the
battle ground of the savages, is .given a
prominent place on a table. It is slightly
rusted, but could still send a ball with
deadly effect There (is one curved and
pointed knife with a pretty handle which is
a vicious looking thing, and -Mr. Kelly is
assured it had been plunged into a half
dozen people. It was presented to an en
gineer by a Spanish miner, and now is
situated where it can do no barm.
In the collection is a short, broad knife
that has come to be a great rarity. It was
issued by tbe Government to its soldiers in
the early days of Indian fighting and was
intended to be used in hand-to-hand encoun
ters. The handle is tough and the blade is
wide enough to slice a redskin in short
order. A card hanging on the knife stated
that Uncle Sam no longer issned tbese weap
ons to the soldiers and forbade any of them
to be sold or given away to relic hunters.
SEVERAL ONCE-FAMOUS BAYONETS.
Mr. Kelly has several of the famous
trowel bayonets that can be employed for
sticking' "enemies or assisting iu throwing
up intrenchments. They are no longer used
by the Government Two duel pistols,
which were obtained in New Orleans, are
reminders of the barbarous times when men
conducted their business according to the
rules of the code. The barrels are long and
smooth, and the one who got the drop on his
antagonist could consider himself a fortu
nate man. In one corner of the room hangs
a quiver full of pointed arrows, and beside
it is the'big bow. These were taken from a
Sioux Indian in Dakota.
Tbe quiver was carried over the shoulder,
and the mark conld be plainly seen where it
rubbed against the red's clothes. Mr. Kelly
also has some of their very pretty and fancy
trappilifc? thsA are put on the horses on
state occasions.
Some of the relics are more than 2,000
years old, and it would be difficult to esti
mate the age of some of the specimens.
Severial Etruscan lamps and pieces of pot
tery that have been nnearthed must be very
old". A god of the mound-builders which
was dug up in Ohio, Mr. Kelly says, is alone
worth 51,500. He wouldn't part with it for
that sum, and to the archaeologist the study
of these people is very interesting.-
ANCIENT EGYPTIAN IMAGES.
Two Egyptian images were handed down
in the family of a German baroness, and
finally were sold by order of the court in
settling up the estate. Mr. Kelly bought
them. They surely were made long before
the time of Christ, as their appearance
demonstrates and history will bear out.
One relic is a great curiosity, in that it rep
resents a lost art It is a wooden bowl made
by the Japanese and covered with a thick
coating of cinnabar which is highly orna
mental. Just how it is done, or by what
process the preparation was made is one of
the things that the shrewd Japs hare for
gotten. In the collection are two small monu
ments made by the great Napoleon during
his exile on St Helena. They "are well ex
ecuted, and the sides are as smooth as if
made by a sculptor. They only show that
genius is many-sided, and if'he had not
been a great ceneral he might have been a
great artist in stone.
SOME OTHER VALUABLE CURIOS.
Mr. Kelly also possesses four pictures of
Napoleon's lieutenants which were pre
sented to the commander by the men them
selves. In those days it was customary for
the subalterns to have their pictures taken
in various positions which were given
to the head of the army as a
mark of respect The lamented Marshal
Ney was one of them. In another part of
the cabinet are several old paintings. One
was on a piece of glass that was made in
1572, and is plainly of English oricin. It
represents the heads of a king and queen,
and two armies in battle, using the long
pikes of ancient days. As for clocks, Mr.
Kelly has a few on the eight-day 'order that
are all historical. Tiiere are letters from
George Washington, Light Horse Harry
Lee, of the Revolutionary army, Abraham
Lincoln and other distinguished" men noted
for their service to the country. He has
autographs of all the Presidents, Irom the
immortal George down to the present Ben,
besides tbe signatures of many public men.
