ISrECIAI. TELEGRAM TO TBI DISPATCH.
Hakkisbukg. Dee. 12. This was the
fourth and last day of the secret sessions of
the Patrons ot Husbandry, held here in the
House of Representatives. Something like
700 delegates haTe been in attendance lrom
all over the State, not to mention visitors
from other States. It was a great comerence
of the Grangers, for they feel that their
millcnium is nearlyat hand. They notonly
rejoice in the defeat ot Delamater, the
champion of corporations, as they call him,
but also expect to put through a bill for the
equalization of taxation at the coming ses
sion of the Legislature.
Grand .Master Leonard Rhone, of Center
county, was at the Lochiel Hotel to-night,
and expressed himself as delighted with the
bright outlook for the farmer. "Our con
vention was one of the largest and most im
portant ever held," said he. "The first
measure in which we will show our hands is
a bill for the 4evision of the State revenue
laws, so as to require personal and corporate
property to pay the same rate of taxation
that is paid by real estate. This would save
to the real estate owners at least 57,000,000.
Champions of the Measure.
"At present real estatepays over 18 mills,
while corporate property pays only 2
mills. In the House, Mr. Taggart, of Mont
gomery, will champion the bill, while Sena
tor Brown, of York, will look after its inter
ests m the Senate. "We indorsed the free
coinage of silver, and believe that the vol
ume of currency should be increased to SiO or
S?0 per capita.
"The Grangers feel that the agricultural
depression commenced from the time that
the currency was contracted and the re
sumption of specie payment brought about.
The best time the farmer had was in 1865,
when we had 56 per capita. At present we
have only $19 per capita, and it is the worst
time the farmers ever had. "We also favored
theGovernment issuing money totheagri
cultural classes on real estate security at a
low rate of interest. We felt in urging this
point that the Government is doing no more
for the farmers than they are doing for the
bankers of the country in establishing
national banks.
Hankers and Whisky 3Ieu Favored.
"It is in no sense class legislation. When
national banks are established, the Govern
ment advances 90 per cent of the bonds in
currency, and charges only 1 per cent for
the use of the currency. The banks have
really only 10 per cent of their money de
posited, and besides drawing over 4 per
cat from the Government.can get C per cent
from borrowers. Indeed, the Government
treats the poor iarmer quite meanly, audit
is no wonder that there is Agricultural de
pression on all sides.
"The whisky men can keep their whisky
in bond lor years and pay no tax, whereas
the farmer must pay his taxes within a
stated time, or see his house sold from over
his head. The temperance people could
find some strong arguments just here.
"Further than this, the Grangers, in ad
vocating such a course, are not acting with
, out precedent. Benjamiu Franklin, in the
early days of Pennsylvania, recommended
such a course, and in New Jersey and in
England, where the plan has been partially
followed, the experience is that it has
worked well.
Reciprocity Gets an Indorsement.
"Vfe also called upon the National Gov
ernment to use its influence in establishing
such reciprocal trade relations as will give
a market to our agricultural products. We
favor Sir. Blaine's reciprocity idea, so far
as it will inure to the benefit of the agricul
tural class. We are decidedly opposed to
any reciprocal trade relations that are ex
clusively for the benefit of the manulac
urer. "While we have no affiliation with the
Farmers Alliance, we cannot but watch
their course with a great deal of interest.
We will favor anything they may do that
will help along the condition of the farmer.
We do not believe in a third party, but we
are willing to have the patronage of any
party that will better the agriculturist class.
Credit for Delainater's Defeats
"Our organization numbers over G0.000 in
this State and we mean business. We cer
tainjytake the credit upon usot Delamater's
defeat. He was the only man we opposed
on the Republican ticker. We sent three
messengers to Senator Quay asking him to
withdraw Delamater from the canvass, but
Quay said he could get along without us,
and it seems he has.
"Mr. Delamater fought our tax bill, and
in so doing strnck at one of the first objects
ol our organization, the equalization' of
taxes. iTou may expect to hear from us in
the coming Lecislature.
Compulsory School Law Wanted.
At the meetini of the Grange to-day the
Committee on Education in its report re
quested the Legislature to double the an
nual appropriation to public schools, which
is now $2,000,000; to increase the school
terra, ami compel parents to keep their chil
dren at school until they attain the age ol 14.
The Committee on Legislation suggested
amendments to the game and fish laws, mak
ing it a criminal offense to trespass on lands
without permission of the owner; and re
quiring fencing along public highways and
railroads. Tne Committee on Agriculture
recommended a change in the law authoriz
ing the formation of the State Board of Ag
riculture, so that members must be elected
by the joint vote of all the county agricul
tural and horticultural societies. The
Grange adopted the foregoing reports, after
which it adjourned finally.
The new Committee on Legislation is
Leonard Rhone, Centre; James G. Mc
Sharron, Lancaster; Gerard C. Brown,
1'ork; A. L. Tagsart, Montgomerv; E. H.
Thomas, Cumberland. The committee is
expected to look alter the interests of the
Grangers before the Legislature. A dressed
beef hill will probably be introduced, as
well a other measures considered beneficial
to the farmers.
TEACHING THE BUND.
Rapid Improvement Among the Pupils at
the Blind Institute.
The Executive Committee of the Western
Pennsylvania Institution for the Blind met
yesterday at the school building, on Forty
second street. The expense of maintaining
the scholars now in attendance will aggre
gate about $500 per month. A meeting of
the Board of Directors is called for the sec
ond Thursday in January to consider an
amendment to the by-Iaws,by which hereafter
the directors chosen by the corporators
shall be classified and three elected an
nually, instead of the whole board
annually. Superintendent Jacobs re
ported rapid improvement in the seven
boys and eight girls in the school and gave
a history of each one of them. He was in
structed to ascertain the rates charged at
other instutions and charge accordingly. A
new pupil in the person of Joseph Ostander,
now at the county home and who is nearly
blind, was authorized to be received. As
sistant instructors in the musical depart
ment were authorized to further study in
that department
In this connection it is desired by the
management that any person having second
hand pianos donate them to the institution.
The school is now so far advanced that visi
tors interested in its objects are invited to
inspect it at any time.
A BURNING SEPULCHRE.
GHASTLY SPECTACLE AT AN INDIAKA
MEDICAL COLLEGE FIRE.
Firemen Forced to Battle With the Horrors
of a Dissecting Boom in Addition to the
Flames Dead Bodies Carelessly Hustled
Into Corners.
tEFECIAL TELEQKAM TO THE DISPATCH
LVDXAXAPOLIS, Dec 12. A fire broke
out in the Indiana Medical College early
this morning. The firemen had a peculiar
experience. A young man, hatless and
coatless, and with face blackened with
smoke, met the first company at the entrance
to the broad stairway and called out: "Up
in the dissecting room." "Great heavens,"
exclaimed one of the boys in blue, who had
never been known to flinch, but who always
had a horror for dead people. "Any stiffs
up there?" asked another fireman, as he
grabbed his ax and started toward the door.
"Only 15," said the young medical student.
The stairways and hallways were full of
smoke, and, as the top flight was ap
proached, a stench, a mixture of the smell
which alwavs comes from a dissecting room
and of roasting flesh, was met. Some of the.
firemen fell back a moment, but they soon
recovered and pushed on to the uppermost
floor. Thev pushed open the door and this
is the sight that met their eyes: A big
room with a floor covered a couple of inches
with sawdust; broad tables, on which were
stretched human lorms; some men, some
women, some young, some old, some beauti
ful, some homely, some with forms as per
fect as death had left them, some carved un
til little but the skeletons remained. A
dense smoke was issuing from the floor, and
flames threw a halo of light across this ver
itable sepulchre, revealing more plainly
the features of the dead and great spots of
blood that here and there appeared on the
floor of sawdust.
"Cut the floor," came the order, and in a
moment tables upon which were stretched
the nude bodies of the dead were being
hustled to another corner of the room. A
fireman stumbled, and one middle-aged
man, whose rignt limb had been laid open,
rolled off into the sawdust. Two firemen
grabbed him and threw him over into a
corner as if he had been only a bag of salt.
The bodies that had rested directly over the
fire had already begun to sizzle from the
effects of the' heat, aud the faces, a few
minutes before as natural as life, were
blackened with the smoke. It was a stub
born fight, but the building was saved. The
students, while engaged in dissecting bodies,
had thrown lighted cigarettes on the floor.

SABBATH SCHOOL ASSOCIATION.
Date of the Annual Sleeting Fixed for
January 15.
The Executive Committee of the Alle
gheny County Sabbath School Associa
tion, representing 95,000 Sabbath school
teachers and scholars, met yesterday
afternoon and discussed plans to
boom the work of the organization.
To this end a committee was appointed to
consider the advisability of adopting a prop
osition to hold three big Sunday school in
stitutes, one in this city, one in Allegheny
and one at McKeesport. The committee
was given power to name the time and place
and make such other arrangements as they
may deem necessary if the idea is adopted".
The date of the annual meeting of the as
sociation was fixed for January 15 at the
Christ M. E. Church, and committees were
appointed to make necessary arrangements.
The reports of officers will be read at that
time.
THE DISPATCH to-morrow will consist
of 24 Pages, or 193 Columns. Get it. It will
surprise yon.

GOMPERS IS AHEAD.
Is Ke-Elected President of the Federa
tion by a Big Majority. "
HE ANSWERS SOCIALIST CHARGES.
A Petition Favoring Woman Suffrage is
Bent to Washington.
SEXT MEETING AT BIRMINGHAM, ALA,
Detroit, Dec. 12. The convention of
the Federation of Labor this morning sent
greetings to the Farmers' Alliance Conven
tion and to the International Labor Con
gress at Brussels. The Legislatures of
Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama
will be asked to forbid convict labor in
mines. Support was pledged io the paint
ers, who will strike for eight hours May 1.
Congress will be petitioned to forbid United
States enlisted musicians from competing
for business with free musicians. The con
vention decided that only bona fide mem
bers of trades can hereafter be delegates.
A motion to make a new Executive Coun
cil of four and leaving the officers, except
the President, out of it, was lost. The
bonds of the Secretary and Treasurer were
raised to $5,000. A new section of the con
stitution, providing for a $5 a week striee
benefit for five weeks for such local unions
as pay in a per capita, of 5 cents a month,
was considered.
Gompers on a Question of Privilege.
On the question of the readjustment of the
Executive Board and the power of the Presi
dent, the committee reported back an
amendment regarded by the friends of the
President as of a restrictive tendency. Mr.
McGuire opposed it in a fiery speech as
having a tendency to tie the hands of the
President, and Mr. McBride advocated the
amendment in strong terms. President
Gompers arose to a personal explanation, in
which he said he was not affected with big
head, and, besides, he knew the men on the
Executive Board were not capable of crawl
ing on their stomachs to Sam .Gompers.
A vote was taken, and during its progress
President Gompers resumed his personal
explanation, and read the heading of a
German New York paper in which Gompers
is charged with petty tricks in cutting off
debates in favor of Saniel, and that in
every way Gompers was against the Social
ists." He would ask if these things were
true, and whether he deserved the abuse.
He would not quote Socialist papers that
said he was a fit candidate for a lunatic
asylum. Ee claimed to have acted impar
tially, but he would not ask the convention
to take any action.
Gompers and Other Officers Re-Elected.
On the count of the vote it was found that
the amendment did not have the necessary
two-thirds vote, and was declared lost. This
was regarded as a success for Gompers.
On the rest of the amendments to the
constitution it was plain sailing, save one
raising the bonds of the secretary and
treasurer from $1,000 to $5,000, on which oc
curred a slight breeze, but the amount of
the bonds was raised.
The election of officers was the first busi
ness of the afternoon session. President
Gompers was re-elected by 1,716 votes, while
his opponent, T. J. Morgan, of Chicago, re
ceived 191. Mr. Gomper's election was
made unanimous upon motion of Mr.
Morgan. All the other old officers were re
elected as well, with the exception of Treas
urer, the present incumbeut declining re
nomination. J. B. Lenmore was elected
Treasurer by acclamation.
Miss Ida M. Van Etten read a paper on
"The condition of the women-workers under
the present industrial system."
Birmingham, Ala., was selected as the
place of holding the next convention.
Amendments to the Constitution.
The report of the Committee on Constitu
tion, which was, under discussion at the
time of adjournment at noon, was again
taken up. Article ten, in reference to the
establishment of a strike fund for local
unions, after some further discussion, was
referred to the Executive Committee, to
gether with three representatives of local
unions, with instructions to formulate a
plan for the carrying out of the intention of
the amendment, and submit the same to the
local unions interested.
A motion to establish a board of appeals
was favored by the committee as an amend
ment to the constitution. After some dis
cussion it was voted down by the conven
tion. The resolution so send a delegation to
the convention of the International Brick
layers' Union at Toronto next January,
with a view of inducing that union to
affiliate with the Federation, was finally
adopted, with an amendment providing
that the delegation shall consist of the
President and two delegates. Several other
resolutions were disposed of. Among them
was the one previously introduced, pledging
the Federation and delegates to exert their
efforts to secure legislation prohibiting the
employment of children under the age of 14
in factories. The session then adjourned.
In Favor of Woman Suffrage.
Sessions will be held to-morrow at 9 A.
M. and 2 P. M. The latter will probably
be the closing session, as the members are
anxious to leave before Sunday, and the
remaining business will be pushed as much,
as possiuie.
In accordance with tne direction of the
convention the officers have drawn up the
following, which will be immediately for
warded to Washington:
To the House of Representatives and Senate, la
Congress assembled:
We, your petitioners, the American Federa
tjon of Labor, now in session in the city of De
troit, and representing 500,01)0 workingmen who

tion may go before the people of the United
States to be rejected or ratified by them
through the action of cither their Legislatures
or conventions, as the one or the other mode ot
ratification may be proposed by Congress."
In witness whereof, and under instruction of
the American Federation of Labor, we,
Samuel Gompers, President, and Chris Evans,
Secretary of said Federation, do. this 11th day
of December, in the year 1890, Append our
official signatures and the seal of said Federa
tion. Very respectfully,
Chris Evans, Secretary.
TOO WELL ADVERTISED.
News of Ghost Dances Throw a Fascina
tion Over Land Seekers.
Pierre, S. Dak., Dec. 12. Register
Bailey, of the Pierre Land office, to-day
stated that his office is now flooded with let
ters from emigrants, inquiring concerning
recently ceded lands west of the river. He
says an effort should be made to raise to
$1 25 per acre, the price to be paid on the
land when proved upon, or, in other words,
to place it on the same footing for entry and
proving as upper lands.
A delegation will be sent to Congress
from Pierre to lobby for this object this win
ter. It is believed the recent Indian alarm
has thrown a halo around new lands West
that will tend to draw a horde of home
seekers there next year through the adver
tising it nowreceives.
GEEEN GOODS MEH TRAPPED.
They Take the Wrong Postmaster Into Their
Confidence.
Washington, Dec. 12. The green
goods swinalers, who have for years been
operating from in and about New York
City, have recently devised a new scheme,
representing themselves as belonging to
some syndicate or mining company, and ar
ranging with a fourth class postmaster on
some star route away from the regular lines
of travel to forward their mail, to them as
they may decide. This results in -the green
goods men directing the victim to address
his communications to them at a small post-
office, the postmaster forwards the green
goods letters or holds"them until a courier
lrom New York comes after them.
A short time since, the postmaster at
Alber, Mich., was approached by the green
goods man, who offered him a good weekly
salary to co-operate with them. The post
master reported this to the Postoffice Depart
menit Mr.Ttathbone, the Chief Inspector,
immediately instructed the postmaster to ac
cept employment from the green goods men,
holding in the act the money paid to him,
which he did. The result is that Inspectors
Jacobs and Fisher have just arrested a New
York green goods man with '500 green goods
letters which he had just taken from the
Alber office. This arrest is considered a
very important one.
BANKERS ARRESTED,
MB. PBETTYMAN AND HIS CASHIEE -'ESCAPE
A NIGHT IN JAIL.
The Charge Against Them Is Receiving
Deposits After They Knew Their Bank
Would Fail At tho last Moment They
Get Out on Bail.
Chicago, Dec. 12. The grand jury this
afternoon returned bills of indictment
against Banker Pretty man, whose bank went
to the wall a short time ago, and against his
cashier, C. S. Johnson, on charges Of em
bezzlement, and capiases for their arrest
were at once issued. The basis of the in
dictments is the recefpt of money from de
positors after the insolvency of the bank
was apparent.
Mr. Prettyman was taken into custody
to-day. Johnson was also arrested. They
are being held pending the arrival of friends
to give bonds for them.
The banker and cashier narrowly escaped
speuding a night in jail. It was not till this
evening that bondsmen could be secured,
and a judge had to be induced to return to
court alter hours to sign the release papers.
Prettyman, his wife and the cashier at once
took a carriage and drove to a fashionable
restaurant, where they dined.
Throughout the day the corridors adjoin
ing the grand jury rooms were haunted by
anery creditors. In the County Court other
sufferers watched the investigation progress
ing there regarding Prettyman's affairs.
According to admissions of H. H. Bishop,
the silent partner of the banker.the collapse
was made more complete by Bishop, who
believed Prettyman was arranging a "ireeze
out." Before the crash came Bishop quietly
checked out some thousands of dollars, giv
ing the money to his brother, who carried it
to Canada. The assets of Prettyman's bank,
lumber company and private estate were
scheduled by the assignee to-day as amount
ing to $458,000.

ALL AFTER HAM0NL
Senators Cameron and Qnay Meet
With Republican Leaders
AND LOOK OXER THE SITUATION.
Nothing is to be Left Undone to Strengthen
Weak Places.
CAMERON IN NO SEEIOUS DANGER
SPECIAL TXLEQ BAM TO THE DISPATCH. I
Philaelphia, Dec. 12. Senator Quay,
who has been in consultation with, the local
Republican leaders for the past two days,
had an hour's chat to-day with Chairman
Andrews, of the Republican State Com
mittee, relative to the organization of the
party. The junior Senator, while accepting
the defeat of his party as the result of the
late State fight, is anxious to have the line
of battle wherever weak strengthened for
future contests. Senator Cameron, who is
looking after his Senatorial fences, arrived
early this morning and was at.once shown
to room 25 of the Continental Hotel. Sena
tor Quay and his son Richard were in wait
ing. Without delay a messenger was dis
patched to summon Collector of Internal
Revenue David Martin, and upon the lat
ter's arrival, the triumvirate entered an ad
joining room and talked over the situation.
Sheriff-elect Horace P. Connell was the
next of the local party leaders summoned to
the front. Upon reaching the room where
the conference was being held, Colonel
"Dick" Murphy, who was acting as ser
geant at arms, informed those inside of
Connell's presence, and he was quickly ad
mitted. Sizing Up the Situation.
When the quartet of leaders, Messrs.
Cameron, Quay, Martin and Connell, had
arranged matters to their satisfaction, its
local members retired, leaving the Senators
to bid welcome to the visiting statesmen
from the interior counties.
Chairman Phillips, of the Schuylkill
County Republican Committee, was the
first to arrive, aria with little delay un
bosomed himself and told the condition of
Schuylkill county's Republican organiza
tion. State Senator Harlan, of Chester county,
who had just arrived at the hotel, before en
tering the Senatorial presence, chatted
pleasantly for a short while with Frank
Willing Leach and Colonel Murphy. The
Senator, after his ,chat with the Senators,
expressed the belief that things were be
ginning to look bright again in Republican
circles. B. Frank Gilkeson, of Bucks
county, and Senator Mylin, of Lancaster,
arrived shortly afterwa-d and were ushered
into the secret chamber. The situation in
the State was thoroughly gone over, and it
was agreed on all sides that a strong effort
must be made to prevent disaffection among
the leaders of the party in the counties of
the State. It was also agreed upon the part
of the conferees that nothing should be done
by the leaders in control of the State
organization which would lead to the belief
that bossism is still rampant.
Senator Cameron in No Bangor.
All hands agreed that there was at the
present time no serious opposition to the re
election of Senator Cameron, and that noth
ing should be left undone to have the har
mony continue. Another subject of dis
cussion was that of the election of officers
of both Houses of the Legislature, and it
was agreed that in the matter of the election
of the Speaker of the House of Representa
tives it should be left entirely to the judg
ment oi the members of that body, and that
the election of minor officials should be
made by the properly constituted commit
tees of both bodies.
Messrs. Martin and Connell, after leaving
the Senators, held quiet talks with Select
Councilman Anderson, of the Fifth ward;
Joseph L. Nobre, of the Second, and others
of the local leaders, and the information
was given out that no stone shall be left un
turned to bring about a perfect condition of
harmony in the ranks of the local Repub
lican workers.
A BBEACH OF CONTRACT CASE.
A Mexican Railroad Companylnfora Heavy
Damage Suit.
New York, Dec. 12. A complaint was
filed to-day in the United States Circuit
Court by the trustees, executors and securi
ties of the Insurance Company of Great
Britain and Ireland against the Monterey
and Mexican Gulf Railroad Company, for
the recovery of $750,000 for breach of con
tract, with interest from May 2, 1880.
The railroad company was given a grant
by the Mexican Government for the con
struction of a railroad from Monterey to
Tampico, and subsequently for a second line
from Monterey to Vanadito, the lines to be
exempt from taxation for 20 years. In 1888
the railroad mortgaged all the real and per
sonal property to the Central Trust, of New
York, which agreed to issue bonds payable
in gold, due November 1, 1939. The com
pany completed the roads. The bonds were
taken up by the foreign company, which
also took a second mortgage, agreeing to ad
vance 500,000. The railroad company
failed in its contract with the plaintiff.

A Deputy United States Marshal Dies Doing
His Duty.
Rolla, Mo., Dec. 12. Deputy United
States Marshal R. M. Roper has been
murdered in Texas county. Last Thursday
Roper left Rolla forfa point 40 miles south
of this place to arrest illicit distillers. He
was to be gone two days. Yesterday a boy
rode into Rolla and announced that Roper's
dead body had been found in a lumber
camp, with the head cut off. The head was
severed closely from the body as though
done with a broad ax. The ground around
the place where the body was found gave
evidences ot a severe struggle, going to
show that Roper had defended himself to
the last.
That portion of the State has become
noted as the home of the Bald Knobbers and
the resort of the worst class of desperadoes.

For Excavating Delphi, but a Stumbling
Block In the Way.
rSFXCIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE niSFATCH.l
Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 12. There has
been considerable talk in the papers to the
efiect that the project for excavating Delphi
under the auspices of the American Arch
aeological Institute has been abandoned.
Prof. C. Norton, who has been considerably
interested in the matter, has made public
these facts: "Harvard College has raised the
sum promised by her for the excavations at
Delphi, and not only she, but also America,
stands ready with the promised sum to be
gin the work.
"But affairs have come to a standstill,
owing to a change of Ministry in Greece.
The former Minister was ready to help us in
every way, but the new Minister is
opposed "to him, not only polit
ically, but also personally. Whether
he will allow-us to begin the work and help
us in it, remains to be seen. Meanwhile
negotiations are being opened with him, and
in the course of a few months we shall know
whether he favors our project or not Until
then nothing further can be done."

Added to Other Crimes.
Louisville, Dec 12. W. B. Carl, who
was whipped by personal enemies, near
Brandenburg last week, is still hardly, able
to be about. The men were about to hang

children, contented themselves with beating
him until he was bleeding from heavy welts
from his shoulders to his knees.
When Constable Massey.withthe warrant,
called upon Thomas Burgess to answer the
charge of beating Curl, Burgess took bis
shotgun and fired through the door. None
of the shots took effect Then he went to
the window and fired the other barrel. The
charge entered the bowels of John Foote,
and he fell to the ground dead. During
the excitement created by the shooting of
Foote, Burgess escaped through a rear

VICTIMS OF THE COLD

COAL AHD SHOES AEE IN DESIABD
At the Booms of the Society for the Im
provement of the Poor.
GETTIXG EUADI FOE CHEISTMAS W0EK
Everybody enjoys a snap, unless it proves
to be a cold snap, and a3 yesterday's snap
was of that sort, it did not prove so enjoya
ble as it might.
The friends of the poor had their hands
full, as the saying is, but taking it in the
literal sense, they were not compelled to
keep their hands full long, as there
Were plenty of applicants who were willing
to accept almost anything from a pair of
partly worn shoes to a ton of coal. A sud
den gust of cold weather with a little snow
and wind is sure to blow in a great number
fcf applicants for assistance. Yesterday the
'ladies at the office of the Society for the Im
provement of the Poor were fairly overrun
with applicants for assistance. Coal and
shoes were the chief wants of the callers,
and it was found impossible to supply all.
"The shortage of gas affects us greatly,"
said Mrs. Lippincott "There are so many
orders from others that it is almost impossi
ble to get our orders filled. This is very
bad, as the houses in which the poor people
live are not supplied with even the limited
amount of gas and when they have no coal
they must suffer with the cold. We have
been delayed on all of our'coal orders."
some sad cases op distress.
The ladies told ot several very sad cases
of distress that have been found within the
past few days. One case mentioned was
that of a family now being supplied by the
society. Three children xrere taken sick
with measles, which developed into pneu
monia. The father is a paralytic aud all
depended upon the mother for subsistence,
she taking iu washing and doing other like
work. Before the children had recovered
the mother took sick, and thus the mainstay
of the family, being gone, they had to sufe
sist by charity alone. The society finds
numerous like cases and their visitors come
in contact with many a sad scene.
The usual Christmas sacks are being pre
narea for their visits of charity. The first
trip the sacks take are by mail. They go
to grocerymen, drygoods merchants, etc,
with a request to be charitable and fill them
up preparatory to another Journey. This
year 865 sacks will be sent out Last
Christmas slightly more than one-third of
them received Kindly receptions and re
turned well filled. The ladies expect a bet
ter outcome this time. What is most needed
is clothing, cast off flannels, shoei, etc., and
groceries. Christmas is an exceptionally
busy time with the ladies connected with
this institution, as they aim to gladden as
many of the poor as possible. Articles
given the drivers of the grocery wagons of
George K. Stevens or John Renshaw will
be immediately delivered to the rooms of the
scciety.
Chief Elliot said he had little more than
his usual run of good customers yesterday,
except in the cases of cripples who are
away from home and looking for a warm
place. Of course, there were numerous
orders for coal and applications for money
which were granted. This is the depart
ment's harvest time for the loafing done
through the summer by men who should
have put aside 'a little for a cold snap.
Tramps don't receive any mercy at the
hands of those in this department. They
are in luck if they get a bunk in a police

Over in Allegheny Major Hunter is the
chief man at dealing out charity. Although
he did not feel that he had been over
worked yesterday he was rubbing his hands
at the th'ouzht of the prospect of to-day's
business. It usually takes about two days
to freeze out Alleghenians as they are about
as slow in that department as any other.
However, when they get out they make a
big run on the Major.
There was a lively scene on the wharf
yesterday after the Scotia arrived. There
was not enough bnsines3 to keep the negro
ronstabouts at work and they had a great
time. The badge of a roustabout is either
a toe or a heel protruding its nakedness
from a hole in the boot It's aggravating in
weather like that of yesterday, but it goes
and the darkies never seem any the less
happy, singing and dancing as merry as
ever.
The thermometer told iu icy story yester
day, though the mercury had little time at
stops, as from morning to night there were
constant changes in the weather. It was 27
degrees above zero at 11 o'clock, and then
the mercurv began its 'downward iournev.
and continued as surely as though some mis
chievous school boy was pouring ice water
down its glassy surface.
The Signal Service man says it is going
to be colder to-day and that the weather is
to be fair. He only thinks that, however,
and does not give it as an assured fact On
Thurday he thought the nice weather was to
continue until Sunday, but that night, while
he was off duty, some one turned the crank
too rapidly and everybody knows the result
He has also branched ont into the Wig
