by Christmas Day.

Fcsteiuttr HTcEcin WC1 Hit: & Grind Opuiisg in the
Eirly Spring.
Uncle Sam will give tbc inhabitants ot
Pittsburg a Christmas gilt in the form of
an unobstructed view of the new postomce.
On Thnrsdav next there will be a sale at
the huilding of the bis board fence, with its
overcoat of circus posters, the booms, der
ricks and old lumber that has accumulated,
and the engines and hoisting machinery used
in the construction of the buildinsr. It will
be a sacrifice sale, and purchasers will have
to remove their bargains before December 25.
The exterior stonework of the building is
now being pointed, and the dirt of a decade
is beiug washed off with acids. Thereis
very little work to be done on the outside of
the building proper, and it will be made to
look its best Christmas Day.
Superintendent Pattison is reticent as to
the date of the removal ot the Postomce
Department to its new quarters, but says
it will be an agreeable surprise to Pitts
burgers. Before the Rare lajs of June.
In repiv to the query, "Will the new crop
of postnffice loafers make their first appear
ance with June ros's in their buttonholes?"
Mr. Pattisou said: "Well, I don't want to
fix a date, because something might happen
to cause a delay, but I think it is safe to
say that we will have the floors for the post
office ready early in the spring."
All the contractors are hustling with
their work. Samuel I. Pope & Co , of Chi
cago, have the contract lor putting in the
steam fittings and natural gas heating at
tachments, and their representative is on
the ground. Mr. Pattison has received per
mission from "Washington to arrange for a
temporary supply ot natural gas, and has
already contracted for a supply of fuel.
This will enable him to heat the building
to such an extent that there the weather will
not delay the progress of the work.
The plasterers will commence work this
morning. It will take them six or seven
weeks to complete the work on the first
fioor, hut in the meanwhile they will be
making eood headway on the upper floors.
At the same time the glaziers and painters
will be kept busy, and the man with the
contract to tile the floor will be moving
right along. These contracts can be filled
simultaneously, without any interference,
and will probably be completed at about the
same time.
Good Contracts to be Awarded.
Next Thursday is the last day for the re
ception of bids for the concrete work in the
basement, and the bids for the approaches
to the postoffice must be all in by the 22nd
inst. For com.: unexplained reason there
are but few bids for the latter contract, al
though it is a large and remunerative job.
y Another contract yet to be awarded, al
though it is not expected to greatly exceed
J?2,OG0, is important, as it shows that while
the new postoffice has been in course of
erection the city has almost outgrown it. It
has been decided to erect a one-story. Iron-clad
building, reaching from" the rear or the post
effice to the line of Cherry alley, for the hand
ling of mail as it comes from or is being sent to
the railroad depots. The mall wagons will
enter Cherry allej at Third avenue, drive up to
the proposed addition, and then pass through
to Fourth avenue. This will prevent confusion
and coill-ion.
The postoffice department on the third floor
ill be very handsome, and will receive its
light xrnm the glass roof of the bnilding. The
upper floor consist of galleries around the
cre-it, square ueep well, the dilfercntomcesand
court i ooms opening off the galleries. Air. Pat
tison is of the opinion that the bnilding is
plenty large cnongh for the purposes to which
it i" designated, mtli the exception, perhaps,
of the postoffice. Me Relieves, however, that it
will tie several j ears before this department is
crowded.
Something to be Trond Of.
The posteffice department will be very hand
some. The greens or partitions which will
conceal the postomce employes from the man
who wants his mail will bo highly ornamental,
and run around and practically conceal the
outside row of pillars. The pillars in the in
terior will be decorated from their bases on the
tir-t floor until they are lost in a blaze of light
whero the support the crystal roof. The in
terior arrangements and furnishings will be of
tbc latest design and arc calculated to econo
mize space.
superintendent Pattison has run against a
ratLer peculiar snag, which shows how electric
lighting has taken hold of Pittsburg, aud that
the demand exceeds the -upply. Mr. Pattison
wanted about 00 electric lights placed in the
building temDoranly, so that the workmen
couid put in full daj regardless of cloudy
veather. He went to all the electric light com
panies, but none could spare him a lamp or the
power to operate it. Finally Mr. Pattison was
compelled to order a complete electric light
oiitnt. ilj nainos and all, which will be placed in
the Lcilding this week.
T-dai the work of slating the roof will be
commenced, and a number of men will be
turned looe putting in the many safes and iron
lulls contracted for. In fact, hefore the year
closes, all the important work on the building
will be well under wa or nearly completed.
TWO LOVELY BLACK EYES.
A Pretty Dude Plays Slasher and is
Slashed.
He was one of the species of the 'JJudus
Amencanus," or common dude, and when he
appeared on Ohio street last night, he was the
perfection of primpness. He earned with him
the name nf John Justice, and wore a pair of
trousers which might hae been called loud.
In fact, it was said his tailor had given him a
mi.zzla with them, so it would be possible for
the other people in the house to sleep.
He v.as coming down Ohio street when he
noticed two pretty girls in front of him. hut
didn't notice a man and another prl behind.
With all the insolence of bis class be pushed
Ms face up in front of the girls, and remarked,
You're a pretty pair of birdies."
The next instant the girls ran away. At the
lame time a good right arm shot out, and Mr.
ustice had received all his name called for. It
.ok 15 minutes to revhehim. and it will take
GidajstotaUe the blackness out of his eyes.
TJHDEB THE NEW BTJLES
Big Crowds Take Ad antage of the Greater
Pri lieges at Carnegie Library.
Yesterday w as the first dav the reading room
of Carnegie Hall was thrown open in accord'
ance with Mr. Phipp's ideas, and from 1 o'clock
to 9.30 a larger attendance was present than on
anydaysiurc th hall's opening. There were
inoretban 300 isitors and some 200 publica
tions were called for. Of these latter it can
hardly be said they were conducive to spiritual
or moral education, the number of humorous
anil general secular papers and magazines out
numbering all others about ten to one. Of the
tnoiiiblesin the mom butone was called for,
and that was read by but one man for probably
an hour in the evening.
The large number of visitors, hovever, were
what might be called church people, and about
3 o'clock, after the Sabbath schools bad ad
journed, the crowd was ery large and filled up
nicely the large and enmmodious rooms.
Hud Tils Arm Crashed.
Albert Powell, one of the new switchmen at
the Baltimore and Ohio freight yard at Glen
wood, had his right arm badly crushed, last
night, while making a coupling. He was taken
to the bunk car, where Dr. O'Brien dressed bis
arm.
GAZING ATTHEGASSER.
Hundreds of People "Watch the Tongues of
name Shoot Oat From the Exposition
Well Standpipe Drilling to bo resumed
This Morning, With Bright Prospects.
Early morning yesterday saw hundreds
of people wending their way to the Exposi
tion grounds, at the Point, to view the big
gasser. A standpipe about SO teet high had
been placed about CO feet from the well and
the gas lighted. In the still morning air
the long sheet ot flame flickered and wavered,
and now and then, as tbo wind ressaerted its
power, threw its tongues put as if seeking a
victim on which to expend its power.
As the hours wore on tho crowd increased,
but bad to be content with peering through the
spaces between the bars of the Iron fence.
Manager Johnston, with a number of Exposi
tion Society members and friends, for a time
watched the gas burn, and talked of the pros-
Jiect for a larger strike. The crowd clamored
or admittance, but were steadfastly repulsed.
The driller on duty said that he would have
asked nothing better than tbc pnvilegc of per
mitting people to enter the grounds for Jl
apiece.
hast night the engine had been re-set and
everything made ready to commence drilling
again this morning. Mr. Crawford, of the Oil
Well Supply Company said that the drill had
onlv touched the crust of tbe oil sand, ana that
the prospects for a larger strike were very
good. "We will not talk." said Mr. Crawford,
but await developments. It smells pretty
oily around here, and we might strike oil
can't tell, you know."
The roar of the burning gas could be heard
for a number of squares, last evening, as the
main Exposition building was apnroached from
Duqnrsne way. The light looked like that of a
large fire. On going nearer the wc-t tower and
whole west end of the building appeared to be
lighted from within by a powerful Hlununant.
Melville D. Landon (Ell Perkins) passed
through Pittsburg yesterday en route to Brad
dock, where he lectures to-night. Tho humor
ist was found examining the new gas well, and
was asked what he thought of it.
"It brings to my mind," said Eli. "the first
experience we bad m Saratoga when tbey
struck the Geyser spring. We all went out to
see the water streaming 30 feet into the air.
7 he French Minister was there from Washing
ton. He hadn't been in the country long and
couldn't speak verv good English."
"What did he do?"
"Why he pnt on a look of adoration, then
shrugged bis shoulders andsprcad his arms out
like a great V and exclaimctl:
Ceil grunde! Celt magnijiquehe bust ut
first rate!"
"My last expenence in writing up a gas well
was unfortunate. It was w ben tbey discovered
the great Dclamater well 14 years ago near
Petrolia. 1 described it minutely for the New
York Sun how it burst 72 feet into the air,
and, though it was in December, warmed a
ten-acre lot into a grecu garden. I described
how it made a noise like atrain of cars, and we
heard it IS miles, which was trne. I thought 1
bad done a nice piece of newspaper work.
Then I read it all over, spelled all tbo bard
words correctly, punctuated It brilliantly and
sent it to Mr. Dana."
'What was tho result?"
"Well. I went West, and about a week af tor
ward I was delighted to see my vind description
copied into Story's Chicigo Ttmcs Yes. I was
very proud, but my pride received a fall when
I turned to the editorial page aud read this
paragraph: 'Our readers will notice that in
anothrr column we copy Eli Perkins' Sun
article on the Pennsylvania gas well. Our
readers will notice that he speaks very favor
ably of it, which is very magnanimous on tbe
part of Mr. Perkins, when we come to think
that this gas well is the only real rival be has.' "
PLENTY OF PENSIONERS.
Hundreds of Applications Being Filed
Under the Act of June 37 The Next
Appropriation to be Increased by SlOO,
000,000 Many Deaths Reported.
Pension Agent Bengough is having a
brealbingspell, after two weeks hard work.
Last week he paid out to pensioners, (or the
three mouths ending December 1, $G67,000,
aud the preceding week he disbursed enough
to bring the tctal up to considerably-over
51,200,000.
Since the act of Congress of June 27 went
into effect, enlarging the limits lor the pay
ment of pensions, Mr. Bengough has been
receiving over 20 applications a day. As this
is only one of the IS agencies in tho United
States, the total daily average of new applica
tions1 estimated at betw ccn 100 and 500, with
no signs of abatement. How long this will bo
kept up it is hard to say, but M r. ISengongh is
looking forward daily to a dropping off.
Mr. Bengough said yesterday: 'The appro
priation for pensions last Tear was E14n.O00.O00.
This year tbe United Sfates will be asked for ft
tiuu,UAi,UAi more. nc applicants nnuer toe
new law receive iS a nfontb, or 90 a jear, and,
at tbe rate the applications are coming in, it
will take quite a nice little sum to meet tbo ad
ditional claims.
"I have been receiving a number of notices
during the past few days of the deaths of pen
sioners. The deaths reported are not among
the war-worn veterans onlv, but many of tbe
deceased are the widow, orphans and depend
ents ot soldiers who died in battle."
Tho advent of winter almost simultaneously
with pension day resulted yesterday in the dis
play of a number of new overcoats on the men
who wore the blue a quarter of a century ago.
Another pleasant featnre was that notwith
standing the number of veterans who were
paid off in Pittsburg during the past two weeks,
some of them receiving large sum, rot one case
of drunkenness amonj them came under the
notice of tne ponce.
MRS. STANLEY IS HEEE.
The Great African Explorer Will Arrive

Mrs. H. M. Stanley and ber mother. Mrs.
Tennant, arrived in the city on the limited last
evening, and registered at the Monongabela
House. Mr. Stanley is not expected before 1
o'clock this afternoon. Hamilton Aide, a
brother-in-law of the explorer, accompanied
the partv. A clever little Euglish fiunkey.with
polished boots and long coat, assisted tbe maid
to carry the baggage out ot the depot. Tbe
pair tried for several minutes to take all the
pieces in one trip, but they finally gave it up,
and the joung fellow carried out the nile of
traps a little at a time while tbe girl watched
tho balance. Mrs. Stanley and her mother
were feeling tired after tbe day's ride, butther
said they were enjoying the trip through
America very much.
It is expected that the lecture will be at
tended bv fully 2.000 people at Old City Hall to
night. This is believed to be moro tban the
hall has ever before held at one time. Afew
rows of reserved seats and som platform seats
remain unsold, but these will probably be
taken to-day. A large force of uiherswillbe
in charge to-night, and the immense clowd
will be well cared for. After the lecture Mr.
Stanley will shake bands with such of his Pitts
burg admirers as so desire. Tills opportunity
to meet the great explorer will be gnen in the
hall, and will be tbc only approach to a public
reception .luring Mr. Stanley's stay in the city.
Mrs. Stanley has received several invitations
to teas and receptions for this afternoon.
HABEEK02K KEEPS SHY:
The Husband of Margaret Mather Silent
About the IJumored Divorce Salt.
Emil Habcrkorn, tbe leader of the Dnquesne
Orchestra and the husband of Margaret
Slather, is stopping at the Seventh Avenue
Hotel. He kept very shy or reporters yester
day, and though a diligent search was mado
for him he was not seen. He was at the
theater yesterday, but made uo allusion to tbe
report tnat his wife intended to get a divorce
from him on the ground of non support.
Whether true or not, it could not be learned
what bis Intentions are.
Mr. Habcrkorn is a slender, mild-mannered
gentleman and a good leader. His appcaranco
gives evidence of his musical talent, and Ills
glasses and tall pompadour give him a dis
tinguished look. He has been playing first
violin in tbe Jncb and Bostonian orchestra,
but to-day he will assume charge of tbe Du
quesne Theater musicians.
OKE METHOD OF SWEABING OFF.
An AUcghcny Citizen Who Wanted Ten
Days to Get Sober.
Jim Brown had for the past week surrounded
about 25 whiskies a day, and tbe prisoners were
not resting easy. He longed for ten days at
Claremont. where temptation would bo re
moved. Yesterday he asked an officer on Ohio
street to arrest him because he wanted ten
davs. Tho officer told him to go smash some
body. What!" exclaimed Brown; "want me to hit
someone and get tbe worstof It? Guess not.
I'll jist fool you. I'll go up and make tbe turn
kev put me in. I ain't no chump."
He did it. The officer at the lockup heard
his ory and gave him a place behind tbe bars.
Hermann Undo at the Lese-Vercln.
A small but select audience met by 'invita
tion at the rooms of the Lcse-Vereln, on Wood
street, last night, to hear Hermann Linda re
cite selections from German classics. Every
body was highly Impressed with bis magnificent
voice and delicate interpretation ot fragments
from -Wilhelm Tell," , "Nathan the Wise.",
etc. The power of bis elocution was best ap
preciated in "Ere-Koenlr '" Tha monologue
I from "Hamlet" was rendered in English, and

AT LEAST A MONTH
Before tbo Duquesne Traction Lines
Can be Keady to Carry Passengers,
SO CONTRACTOR ItOOTH BELIEVES.
One Ecason of Delay Is lint the Power
House Is Not Finished.
A SISTEM TIIAT IS AYITlIQIJT AN EQUAL
Although three-cent fares are regarded as
a certainty on the Pittsburg- Traction lines,
the chance are that people who areidaily
looking for tbe change will have quite a
while yet to wait.
This is particularly true if the reduction
does not go into effect until the Dnquesne
Traction lices begin operations.
According to Mr. James J. Booth, of the
firm of Booth & Flinu, some rather mis
leading statements have been made of late,
in regard to the last named system. Dur
ing a talk yesterday afternoon Mr. Booth
said:
"My belief is that the Dnquesne road will
not be in regular running-order before tbe
middle of next January. It is true that the
track-laying is almost completed. Rwilltake
very little time to finish up that part of the
work, but this does not end the understand
ing, by any means. There are some cross
ings yet to be put in, and the courts will have
to settle the question in one-instance. That
is the crossing at Grant street. Judge
Ewing has that question tinder considera
tion now.
THE TO-WEE HOUSE NOT KEADY.
"But with these little matters out of .the
way, there is still another obstacle in the
road, and that is the completion of the
power house. The miichipery is not in posi
tion, and will not bo' for some time I have
not been there for a few days, hut I am satis
fied It will take three or four weeks to . com
plete tho contract. The track laying -could
have been finished weeks ago, had it not been
for a strike last spring at Uie Cambria Iron
Works whero the matcnaLalf of a special kind,
was made."
Have you any idea how much the road will
cost when in fall running order? '
T cannot give you anything like a correct
estimate, but it will do a big lot of- money. No
expense has been spared to make tbe system
strictlv first-class in every particular. The
people behind this enterprise are in the field to
stav. and evervtbing is being constructed on a
solid bakis. I havo seen many a street railroad
line In this countrv as well as In Europe, and I
honestly believe that the Duquesuo Traction
Svstem is the best constructed one, all things
considered, snch as its length and general mag
nitude, to be loundin the world."
"What is the total length of the tracks laldT"
OVEB rOKTY MILES OF TBACKS.
"Something over 40 miles. One contractor
put in 12 miles of track with bis force, and
there wero four or five big gangs of men en
gaged In this particular work."
"Will the proposed reduction In fares by the
Pittsburg Traction people hurt the new road
anyf"
"Not a particle. As a rule tho two Toads are
entirely Independent of each other, so far as
the sources of patronage are concerned. The
Duquesne paople will start right in with 5-cent
fare, and pay no attention to reductions on
other lines. Between tbe hours of 4 and 7
o'clock in the afternoons there will be more
business tban the two systems put together can
take care of, and during tbe morning bours
ibis same condition will prevail to a large
extent. When it comes down to a question of
rapid transit, there will be many and many a
stretch of territory over which the electric cars
can sail along lite a bird on the wing."
"How about the new cars; are tbey all hero
yet!"
"Over 00 of them are In the city, and readyto
put into tervice to-morrow. They were made
in Philadelphia, and are perfect beauties. I
think they are about as large as any cars in use
in tbe city, and I am certain -they are of supe
rior make and finish. -They are beauties, and
no mistake."
SOME DELAY IN "ALLEGHENY.
Speaking of tbe work on the Pittsburg, Alle
gheny and Manchester limy Mr. Booth said
they were getting along with that work as fast
as possible, but it will hardly be finished until
toward spring. Mr. Booth said that Commo
dore Kouniz, of Allegheny, was one of tho
gentlemen who was opposing the improvement.
Constable Al Heiner recently served a legal
notice on them not to continue the work, but
tbey paid no attention to It. The Commodore,
who was back nf tbe movement, so he under
stood, intended to take the matter into court.
Mr. Booth did not know of the Commodore's
having any stock in the road, but understood
that some of his relatives, in whom he was par
ticularly Interested, held a few shares.
Work on the Pittsburg and Birmingham line
is almost completed, and cars will be running
on tbe various lines within a few days. Tbo
wires have all been strung and tho cars ate
here, so that all the work now remaining
might bo summed up under the head of mush
ing touches. ,
A BEuHIDEE OF ATJTUHN.
The Beauties of Yesterday's Weather Fully
Appreciated by the Populace.
Barring out the bad weather of Friday Signal
Service Agent Stewart made a very creditable
prediction on Thursday last, when he said that
the little dash of autumn pleasantness prevail
ing at that time would, continue until Monday
at least. Saturday was above complaint, but
yesterday was what the ladles would term just
too lovely for anj-thlng. The only" peopio
lb ensed to murmur at all were loo men and
toboggan slide proprietors: and nothing but
promptings of greed and the continued open
weather could be offered as an excuse in their
behalf.
All day long the weather was simply delight
ful, with sunshine enongb to make everything
cheerful, while the atmosphere was just right
for outdoor exercise. As a consequence pedes,
trians were out in small armies, and, carriages
were to be seen in every directiou rolling out
toward tbe suburbs ot tbe two cities. The
heavens were cloudless at a late hour last
night, and the indications are for a continua
tion of warmth and brightness.
SITES FOE HOTELS.
Two Duqaesno Clerks Bnild a House in
Their Imagination.
"Perdu and L" said Van Huntington at tbe
Duquesno vestcrday, "have a lion hotel built in
onr imagination on the Fifth atcnue site from
the Chrontcle-Teleg-aph building down, to'the
MaTket alley. That is the greatest location for
a hotel in Pittsburg, audit the property was
not so high in price one 'Would have been
erected there belore now."
"But," interrupted ferdu. "talking .of sites,
what do you think of the triangnlar piece of
property at tho footof Fifth avenue for a fine
French cafe conducted In first-class style? bay,
if I owned that site and bad tbe cafe, I think -I
would be in It."
AIT OLD FIREMAN BUBIED.
The G. A. K. and Sons of A eterans Attend

The Snnday morning hearings were un
nsually light yesterday, and the cases were
disposed of in verv short order. The de
crease in enforced attendance is snpposed to
show a disposition on the part of some to

STILL TALK STRIKE.
Baltimore and Ubio Switchmen Again
Confident of Winning.
WAITING FOIL OFFICIAL ACTIOS.
A Large Secret Heelinjr of Employes Held
Iesterday.
FAT1IEE C0TSE TALKS T0TI1E WORKERS
Ii the statements of a large number of in
terested men can be relied upon, the Balti
more and Ohio switchmen's strike is by no
means broken. Instead, the situation to-day
is tending more add more toward the climax
of a general tie-up or a quick settlement,
according to the terms of the men.
According to information gained at a
mass meeting last night, the men are in a
better condition for a contest than ever.
They said that their silence has not meant
that they have given up the fight. To the
contrary, they mean business now, and have
only been strengthening their lines, and in
a conservative manner, following a consti
tutional course, pending the word to go out
from their superior officers of the grand
lodge,, who alone can declare a strike.
A large add secret meeting of switchmen
was held yesterday afternoon in the rooms
of Duncan Lodge, Nol20, Weber's Hall,
Southside. The members of Duncan Lodge
are mostly employes of the Pittsb'urg, "Vir
ginia and Charleston Bailroad. A large
delegation was present from Monitor Lodge,
Ho. 121, of Glenwood, and also a number
from Lodge 62, in this city. It was the reg
ular meeting day of Duncan Lodge, and as
the situation of the lodge building was con
venient as a central point, the opportunity
was grasped to make it a general meeting of
switchmen, to talk over the Glenwood mat
ter and see what was to be done.
STILL STICKING TOGETHER.
The situation was discussed warmly, bnt
all were one sided in their opinions, as in
dicated by interviews with a large number.
Tbe switchmen will stick together to a man, if
tbe grand officers, when tbey come to Pitts
burg, fail to gain the points asked and order a
strike. Word has been sent to the grand offi
cers, and tbey are expected here as soon as It
is possible for them to make tbe trip. Grand
Master Sweeney was in the State ot Washing
ton, settling a strike, and Vice Grand Master
Downey was in California. Tbe men are look
ing for tbe arrival of the officers at any time,
aud say they will surely be here as soon as they
can come, possibly to-day.
Master Crowtbers, of Duncan Lodge No. 120,
was seen. "Will you please tell us wbat tbe at
titude of tbe switchmen is toward tbe strike, or
whether it is brckeu or not," he was asked,
'T tell you the tie-up is not broken, by
any means," be amwercU. "There Is no strike
yet, and can not be until so ordered by the
grand officers."
"Are the switchmen In general ready and
willing to go our, if tbe officials give the word."
"Yes, sir. .We will stand to a man, and will
obey orders. Tbe report that the men would
get work elsewhere, and that tbe trouble is
settled, has been grossly exaggerated. The ac
tion of our superior officers roust determine onr
course. Other action will certainly be taken."
F. J. Dailr, Chairman of the Glenwood men's
Grievance Committee, was next seen. He said:
"No, sir; the tie-up or trouble has not beon let
tled, by any means. Tbe yards are still tied up.
Not over half tbe usual number of cars pass
through the yards, and there is now freigbt
standing that sbould have been delivered to
Pittsburg merchants last Monday. No definite
action, except an expression of sympathy and
nnity. was taken to-day. I think we will all be
reinstated."
"What makes you think sof
GREAT TAITII IN THE OFFICERS.
"The company will not hold out against the
grand officers of tho association."
What will you ask?'
"That tbe three men discharged be reinstated,
and all those that quit be given their former
positions."
"And then whatT"
'Wait and see."
Master F. T. Hawley, of Lodge 62, when
asked if tbe tie-up Was broken, said: "Ion can
say tbat we have only been following a consti
tutional course."
"Well, will tbe.men try to get work In other
places, and no more action be taken?"
"No, sir. Wo will win," said a number nf
members of 62 in chorus.
"How does the situation stand?" was asked
of Mr. Hawley. ,
"All tbo switchmen sympathize with tho
Glenwood men, and will stick. Won't they,
boys?"
"That's right," "Ves, sir," "Yon bet," echoed
a chorus.
"I never saw such a feeling," said Mr. Haw
ley, "It extends to the men of all roads cen
tering in Pittsburg, and"
Just at this point Mr. Hawley stepped to one
side, and, after whispering to a croup of men
for a moment, said: "If you wish, you can say
tbatin the very near future a special mass
meeting of the members of lodges of roads cen
tering in Pittsburg will be held. That will In
clude the Connellsville and McKeesnort
lodges."
"What will yon do at the meeting? Just
prepare for a contest If it comes to tbit?"
"Wo will bo ready to obey our officers, and
will follow a constitutional course."
,WAGE WORKERS' DESTINY.
An Eloquent Address at Chartiers by Rev.
Father Charles J. Coyrte Religion the
Only Solution of tho Problem, the
Logical Conclusion.
The destiny of the wage workers held the
attention of Key. Father Charles J. Coyne
at Chartiers last evening in an eloquent ad
dress. The hall was crowded, laborers of
every class being represented, though rail
roaders were In the majority. The lecture
was given under the auspices of the follow
ing Committee of Arrangements, and was
for tbe benefit of tbe Chartiers Catholic
Churcb, of which Father Coyne is pastor:
Hugh Parker, Chairman: John Levy, Vice
Chairman; 1 J. Adams, Master ot
Ceremonies; Fred. Lan'nger, James
O'Ronrke, M. C. O' Donovan. Daniel Lytle,
William McCartney. Dan Hurley. II. Laff erty,
P. Ryan, Daniel Kelly. Reception Committee,
1. Foley, William Mack, O. G. Bruce. John
Kelly, Divld Spence. lhnmas Pratt, William
Pavis, William Morgan, Fred Kennedy, John
Pattou, P. Radding, F. Hinesd lies, William
Hughes, Harry Grayble, George Walton, Hon.

William Allen. George Shaw. Harry Cole,
David Kcssler. Dr. A. Onslotr, David Shaw,
John McKee, Frederick Arnold, George Lynch,
A. J. Ebrob. Dr. Walters Bcane.
"At one time the wage vorkcrs are.apledgo
of safety," said Father Coyne, in opening his
address. "At another theyare a matter of grave
concern. At one timo a guarantee of peace,
and at another of discord and disruption. Wo
find the politicians, statesmen, philanthropists
and political economists all trying to solve this
qnestion. We must approach the question
with the same concern and reverence as did the
Magii of the cast approach the cradle of the
infant Jesus."
The speaker then showed the position taken
on the question by tbe statesmen, politicians,
political economists and men of letters, all
saying tbat tbc laborer must be coutent with
his lor. Father Coyne, however, brought out
the conclusion that tho only amelioration must
come 'through religion. He condemned the
seeking-after-praisc saying that the man does
not want to be President of the United States
because he believes he can do the pi-ople tho
most good, but to bear himself addressed as
Mr. President. Ha said it was not a qnestion
of a man's fitness for the position, but the man
asks himself if be can't fit tbe position to him.
IABGEST IH THE C0UHTEY.
Moorhead & McCleane's Big Improved Blast
Fnmace Blown in Yesterday.
The big blast furnace ot the Moorhead A.
McCleane Company, Second avenue, wbicli has
'been undergoing repairs for tbe past ten weeks,

0S AND COAL MIXED.
To be Used by tbo Republic Iron Works as

An Interesting and very important experi

was intense, and tbe experiment pronounced a
complete success. The cost. It Is said, will be
lower tban either coal or gas alone. '
It is understood that ihe Arm at an early date
will remodel all its fnrnaces and adopt the new
syttem The employes seem to take kindly to
the new mixed fuel.
Writing on Kindred Topics.
Messrs. Kennedy, Arthnr B. Smythe and
Joslah Dyer, national officers of tbe marble in
dustries, have engaged with an Indianapolis
trade journal to write a series of articles on
"Granite," ".Marble" and "Stone"lrespectively.
PRAYER AND POKER.
Rev. E. R. Donehoo Falls to Reconcile Two
Conflicting Stories A Fishing Clnb
Which Opened With rraj er Only Coffee
for tho Members The Bubble Bunts.
Ber. E. E. Donehoo, of the West End, is
in a quandary. He has rnn up against
something and he doesn't know whether it
is a poker room or a prayer meeting.
A few days ago several persons com
plained to Mr. Donehoo tbat there was a
gambling room in the vicinity. Strange
men, who wandered in and out at unseemly
bours of tbe night, the rattle of chips and the
abjutgations or tho players disturbed tbe
slumbers of tbe law-abiding, and tbey wanted
Mr. Doneboo to use bis influence to have the
place suppressed. This he promised to do.
These facts reached tne ears of the presiding
genius nf the place, and be paid a visit to Mr.
Donehno's residence. Tho pastor was out, but
bis tifo received tbe visitor and listened to his
story. Tbe man denied tbatany gambling went
on in his bouse. He was too religious to allow
anything of the kind. He always prayed at
night tiiat he might live until morning, and
was in every respect a good citizen. He was
slmpl7 running a fishing clnb. His friends
would come from the city, and after a brief
season of prayer, tbey would drink coffee, read
tho newspapers and iudulgo In social conver
sation. Mrs. Donehoo's sympathies were excited by
the story, and when ber husband returned sbo
related the incidents of the visit. Mr. Done-
noo was not quite convinced, so hewent to see
tne man ior nimsen. i ne same story was re
peated, with tho additional information that
tbe man, while not a member nf any particular
congregation, alwajs went to church three
times a week-. Still, Mr. Donehoo was not con
vinced. A fishing club wbose meetings opened
with prayer, and where the members drank
nothing but coffee, was a startling innovation.
Ho said nothiug. 'but paid a visit to Inspector
McAleese and asked him if he knew the man.
"Oh, yes." replied the Inspector, "I know
him. He is quite a card player."
Now Mr. Donehoo does not believe the fish
ing club story.
THE LAW WILL PE0TECT THEM.
Certain Kinds of Game That It Is Unlawful
to Kill After To-Day.
After to-day the game laws ofjthe State,
which are snpposed to throw their protecting
arms about quail and deer, again go into force
for tbe winter, spring and summer months. On
January 1 all wild animals and fowls tbat come
nnder the head of game in the State will re
reive similar protection. Dealers in quail and
venison will be allowed until January 1 to close
out their trade in this line.
On Saturday the shipments of game of all
kinds to this city were unusually large. The
weather was cold enough to warrant tbo pur
chase of large shioments, as tbo preparations
of game for market are ot a nature to guaran
tee tbat it will keep for many davs after being
frozen. At several big Liberty street commis
sion houses the fronts of tbe same were nearly
lost to sight, being fairly smothered with wild
turkeys, pheasants, quail, rabbits, wild ducks,
geese, squirrels, prairio cbickens.grouse, etc,
while tbe awning frames were bending under
tha weight of the same. Tbo Indications were
that the supply would last for several days to
come.
TAKING DOWN THE WIEES.
The Cable System to be Carried Throughout
the Downtown District.
Superintendent Morris W. Mead, of the
Bureau ot Electricity, will commence putting
the city's wires in cables within the next four
weeks, after he gets his now switchboard com
pleted. These cables will be carried only in tbe busi
ness portion of the city, where the buildings
are high. In the course ot time, as tbe bnsiness
district of tbe city reaches out, tho cable svs
tem will be extended, bnt in tbe residence por
tions the single-wire plan will be continued as
heretofore.

A Watchman's Unpleasant Experience Late
Saturday Night.
Harry Kerlns, watchman at Oliver's steel
works, at tbe foot of Sooth Thirteenth street,
was rather roughly handled by a pair of
tramps Saturday night. About 9 o'clock the
two men entered the mill and asked to be al
lowed to sleep there. Mr. Kerins refused to
give tbcm permission on the grounds that it
was against tbe firm's rules. The tramps in
sisted that they would sleep in the mill despite
the order ot the watchman, and when tbe latter
again protested and threatened to call tbe po
lice, one of the tramps picked up a bar of Iron
and, dealing Mr. Kerins a blow with it on
tbe sido of tbe face, felled bim to: the
ground. Tbe intruders then pounced upon tbe
fallen man. and after kicking blm in a brutal
nlanner took a hasty departure.
The police were notified, and made a vigilant
search, hut failed to find the men. Mr. Kerins
was veiy badly used up, bnt his injuries, while
extremely painful, are not considered danger
