Informations wero made yesterday before Justice of the Peace Holtzman by Manager C. 2d. Swab against the lollowing. who are said to 1)0 the leaders of the affair: Micliael Polish. John Greshos. George Polsk, Paul Maronskl. Andrew Crewonskl and An drew Ktanarjd. Up until midnight, however, none of these had been arrested. Constable Best also mado informations against a large number of the Huns, and war rants were i-erved upon five of them in the aft ernoon. Thev were Mike Greway. Mike Friekcl. Joo " Billuk. Andiew Pardee and John Thomka. Tliev were taken before Justice of the Peace Edwards, who committed them to jail, in default of S1.W0 hail each, on a charze of riot Constable Best brought the prisoners to jail last eveninc, and expected to have a number of others before morning. Those who were injured were, very singulaily, all Irish, and all belonged to the side of the workmen. The streets were con sequently nlleiivith hundreds of their friends the entire afternoon, prepared to avenge the injurv done their co-workers, and had the least provocation presented itself there would un-doubt-diy have been a more serious riot on the Miects.thau the one which took place in the ."nrnace. Shfrilf McCandlcss was notiSed to go to 33radtinck and last evening he went accom panied bv too of his clerks, W. R. and John lirowu. He saw at once that the difficulty was brought about largely through excessive drink lng on ibe part of the Huus and he at once ordered the 15 saloons ana 16 wholesale houses closed, and requested the proprietors to remain closed until the town became quiet. His next move was to swear in nearly 200 depu ties. These he selected from the Edgar Thomp son employes as far as practicable, and he will deputize LOOO more this rooming. Interviews With Interested People. The DisrATcn representative called on Superintendent Galcy, in the afternoon. Ha summedup the situation in a very few words. "This waole thing," said he, "was precipitated by a lo. of ignorant, drunken Hungarians, who thought tbpy could v.in tlicir alleged strike by viole ice. They never did have the sympathy of the other workmen, and they certainly can not get it now." Colonel Thomas Cosgrovc, the Superintend ent of the Transportation Department, was seen, and he expressed himself in almost iden tically the same language. Patrick McCartney, a frirnd of Quinn's. was very much displeased at the company's failnre to secure anyone outside of the physicians to care for the injured. rie was very much put out at the fact that Quinn was sent to the hos pital unattended, except by one of his friends. . Father H ickey and Father Murphy, the for mer ot whum will lie remembered as" the peace maker in the difficulty of 1SS7, were early on the scene, and assisted the physicians in look ing after the injured. Father Murphy was seen iu the afternoon, and he eaid the affair was the most unfortunate thing that could have hap pened to Braddock. as the entire population is in an unsettled condition. . It is intended to start banking the remaining furnaces to-day, only furnaces B and C having been bankea. and it is feared that thero will be more trouble, as feeling throughout the town is at white heat. The attitude of the strikers lias settled their demands. The men now say the company wiil concede them nothing, and they have incurred the enmity of every good citizen of the town. Oue of the workmen said last night they had not intended to insist on the d-.nands, as the company had volunteered tqdo what was right by them without making demands. A TRUST IN TURKEYS. laraiers Kcund Not to Be Done Up at New Tear as Tuy Here on Thanksgiving A Combine'JTliat Put the Trice ofTurkeys Way Up. A poultry trus.C the last thing in the lice ot combination., and its workings caused grief in many families where it was found necessary to refe the matter of holiday ex penses to the co tmittee on ways and means. Pcoplo two days before New Year's turned tip their noses at the retailer when he asked 20 cents a pound for turkey (by the way, turkey was the expensive bird, other kinds of poultry being reasonably cheap), but the next day some paid 22 cents and ere glad to escape at that, and those waited until late paid 26 cents, and some as high as 30 cents a pound, and nice little hen turkejswe'e scarcely to be had at any price, it appearing that consigners had decided to get rid of all their patriarchal gobblers and antiquated brood hens. The granger "got it in the neck" badly on Thanksgiving Day, and evidentlv decided to fret even, for reports came from all parts of the country that turkeys wero plenty enough, but farmers feared, as on the Thanksgiving occa sion, tbey would have their labor for their pains, and decided that city people might cither pay enough to cover the previous loss, or eat home other kind or meat on Christmas and New Y ear's. On the hrst-named day the scarcity was not so pronounced, but as the days wore on commission supplies on Liberty street grew smaller and smaller, and the dealers professed much satisfaction, as tbey said on whatthcydid sell they could make good returns to consign ers and have about as much money for them selves as they had iu the time ot ike glut. Mr. fcpokn, of Boehiner & Co., states that he knows it was a pretty geueralagreementamong farmers to keep their poultry until prices suited them. As a rule one can buy turkeys a da v or two alter a holiday at his own price, and it was so alter Thanksgiving, but the rule is now badly broken. It doesn't appear that there was any regular Combine, as among manufacturers and railway companies, times, to prevent compe tition, which movements excite so much ad verse ciiticism. but simply a spontaneous up rising among the grangers. Perhaps the read ing of Farmers' Alliance convention reports and the impetus given toward farmers' protec tion by the alliance successes at the late elec tion, have been the leaven at work. SATS HE DIDST DO IT. A Man Arrested on Diamond Street Denies That He Is a Tliier. Inspector McAleese yesterday received a tel egram from John Leska, of McKcesport. ask ing him to arrest a Hungarian whose descrip tion was given. The Hungarian, it was stated, had robbed a man of SB'S, and came to Fitts burg yesterday morning. Sergeant Gray yesterday afternoon arrested a man on Diamond alley who is thought to be the man wanted. The description given fitted him exactly, hut he denied being the man ac cused. He gave his nameas James Dondereno and said he was an Italian. He was locked up iu Central station and word of the arrest sent h ilcKeesporr, A FATAL CELEBRATION. Jacob Dillon, of Etna, Kills Himself While Saluting tlie New Tear. Jacob Dillon, of Freeport street, Etna bor ougb. accidentally killed himself yesterday morning while celebrating the advent of the Sew Year. Ho was firing off a revolver at his home about 11 o'clock when in some manner the weapon was accidentally discharged. The bullet passed through his heart, killing him in stantly. Dillon was 40 years of age and leaves a wife and four children. He was employed at the Isabella Furnace. Robbed r.t the Banquet. John Andrews, who attended tho newsboys' dinner at the Fifth Avenue Market House, re ported'to Sergeant Cochran, of the Eleventh ward station, yesterday afternoon, that he haa been relieved of a silver watch and gold chain, valued in all at SIC. He said while going into tbe entrance he felt several young men jostle against him, but did not miss the watch for some time afterward. Broke Open a Trunk. Detective Sterck yesterday arrested William Wilson, who has been wanted' for several days on a charge of breaking open a trunk belonging to Thomas Thompson, at No. 516 Grant street, and taking the contents, together with a quantity of bed clothing. .V Their First Annual Balk v The members of Local Unlon No. 4, of the U'- A.

FT Chairman Speer, of llie Police Com mittee, Delivers a Coast to the Allegheny Department ADVISED TO EMPLOY WOODEN 1IES. One of Murphy's Officers in Any Other City Would Be Arrested as a Sus picions Character. TCAXTS ?20,000 MORE FOE THIS TEAS. Treat Cfice Brijle All Eiglf, Bteiue They Do Hot Hive Anything to Do. . The Allegheny Police Committee met last night, and it was the liveliest municipal session, ever held. in City Hall. Chairman "William Speer wore all his fighting clothes, and he raked the police department from cud to end. A part of-the performance was an animated dialogue be tween the Chairman of the committee and Chief bf Police Murphy, which was Iiighly dramatic from the start to the finish. The roast given to Allegheny's finest was awful in the extreme. It was even stated that an Allegheny officerjn any other city would be arrested as a" sdspicious character. At the opening of tbe meeting all was serene. Anumber of minor bills were pre sented and approved. Then the Mayor's report for tbe last month was presented. There had been 311 arrests and 'the receipts were $1,993 70. With scarce a murmur this was approved. But the tug of war iol lowedtwhen the estimate for the year for the police5 department was presented. The amount deemed necessary for the year was 120,036 25. Put His Feet Down Ileal Hard. This was $20,000 more than last year, and Chairman Speer wanted to known the rea son of the increase and he endeavored to scratch out several items by setting his feet down real hard. The claim made by the department was that SI new officers and another patrol wagon had been added to tbe service. during the year. Nevertheless the Chairman kicked and kicked vigorously. The fight was a'hard one but the police de partment won, however, and the Chairman had offly the satisfaction of telling what he thought of the Allegheny police iorce, both in general and particular. Tbetestimate presented was itemized. The amount paid to each officer was marked down. While it was being read the Chair man pulled at his whiskers until the clerk reached the part referring to patrol service operators. Here the clerk was ordered to stop, and turning to Chief Murphy he in quired: "Is that old man who testified before the investigation that he did not know anything about tbe 'working of the system on the force?" Chief Murphy, who was present, said: "I don't know." Mr. Speer Well we depend on yon, and you should know. Attends to His Own Affairs Alone. Chief Murphy That's not my business, and I:am not attending to Chief Jones' busi ness. l Mr.,Speer Neither am I, but I want to know-if he is employed? Chief Murnhy Well, I don't know. Mr.-Specr I tbink it's wrong to approve this estimate. There arc several things that arc radically wrong, and Iknow it. It is before the committee, however, and i, am perfectly willing to give them all they want, but I think tbey are asking for too much. Chief Murphy Yon must understand that ourfqrjce has been increased 31 men and one patrol wagon this year, besides the wires of tbe patrol Service are rotten, and need repairing. Mr. Speer Don't you think tho whole busi ness rotten, from A to atom? Mr..Murphy I don't think it is. It might have been that way onCe. hut now the force isa good one, and the city la one of the most order ly in the country. Mr. Speer That is because the cltiiens are orderly. What you want Is toget a lot of wooden men ana stand them on the corners. I think the police force is worse than ever before. If thelncn who are now ou the force were to go into other cities they would be arrested as sus picious characters. .My opinion is that tbe force is worse than it ever was. I will say that the Cliier and front office men are all right; they have nothing to do, and they do it right up to thc;handle. On motion of Mr. Wolfe the estimate was ap proved and sent to the Finance Committee. During all this roast. Chief Murphy sat at the end of-the table, and as Mr. Speer continncd his abuse of tbe force, never said a word, but his assiimed all the colors of the rainbow. At the conclusion of the meeting tbe Chief passedT.Mr. Speer and quietly snubbed him by retusmg to speak to him, when addressed by Mr. Sneer. SLASHED WISTIMATE, The Demands of the Allegheny Street De partment Cut Over 87,000 Mado Lower Than Last Year Tiro Other Committees Transact Important Business. ' Another meeting, almost as lively, was that of the Committee on Streets and Sewers. In this case the trouble was over tbe esti mate for the Street Department for this year. City Engineer Eblers baa fixed the amount necessary at SS2.850, but the committee had very different ideas or necessities, and after a long fight tbe amount was cut down to 75.000, It was argued that the appropriation for last year was 580,000, and yet 51,000 addi tional , had to be appropriated during the year. Against this was brought the argument that as tbe city was to be bonded to the extent of J500.009 this year to improve the streets, $75,000 would be tuflicient for the present year for re pairs.: The"figbt ended in tbe ordinance for tbe lat ter figure being affirmatively recommended to Councils. The committee also considered a petition of the citizens forafoot bridge over tbe Pittsburg, Ft, Wayne t Chicago Railroad at Fulton street and California avenne. An ordinance for the same was ordered printed for Councils. Tbe Gas Committee of Allegheny also met last night aud considered the ordinance grant ing the Star Illuminating Gas Company the right to lay pipes over tbe city streets. The ordinance was affirmatively returned to Coun cils. Tbe ordinance fixes the price at 75 cents per 1,000 feet to citizens, and 40 per cent less than the selling price to the city. A sub-committee was appointed to examine into the efficiency of tbe tower system of light ing and report to a meeting of the general com mittee on January 15. At a meeting of the Printing Committee a sub-committee was appointed to prepare and distribute ballots for tbe people to vote on tbe extension ana improvement ot tbe waterworks. W0EK OF E0H0. 20TJGHS. A Gang Attacks a Colored Man, and Batters Iliin With Kicks and a Club. Charles Hamilton, a colored laborer at Moor head's Mill, reported to tbe police at tbe Four teenth Ward station that be had been assaulted and beaten yesterday. About 4:30 he was on his way to work, anil when passing under tbe Baltimore and Ohio bridge over Brady street, a crowd of half a dozen men, without any warn ing attackedbim. He was knocked down and beaten with a club until neatly insensible. One of tbe men kicked him In the face, nearly knocking one eyo out. When bis assailants finally let him co he had his injuries dressed, and started for the police station. His eye was terribly cut, andlt Is feared he will loose It The attack was a pnrely malicious one, no atteniDt having been made to rob Hamilton. He did not recognize any of tbe men. An hour later another man. whose name was not learned, was attacked by. It Is supposed. j the same gang, at the corner of Fifth avenue j and Brady street.' Tbe man succeeded In get- ' tint Lwnv trnm ht nollanta lw tnmnlni. n cable car. Shortly afterward a large knife was found near tbe place of tbe trouble. It Is be lieved to have been dropped by one of the crowd. Lieutenant Shafer has been investi gating both occurrences, but as yet no arrests hive been made. . . RAKED ORE A IDA SMILEY ON DECK. . .. j The Journal Clerk pf' the Senate Starts, for HanrlsbuiB A' ''lively ''Wme J&jfectfcd' Over tho ApportionmcntBtn Against License Changes. Ed. Smiley, of Franklin, the Journal Clerk of the State Senate, started for Har risburg last evening to get things in shape for the opening of tho Legislature. Russell Errett is tbe chief clerk, but he is in vcrylcoble health, and Mr. Smiley has been doing tbe work since Mr. Errett was taken ill in Germany. Speaking of the next Legislature Mr. Smiley said: -. "I think It will be a long, hard, session with plenty of work lor everybody. 1 -do not know of any special legislation to bo introduced, but I should thidk tho apportion ment bill will rxciie considerable, interest ami discussion. The Republicans certainly won't hivo things their own way with Pattison as Governor, because he will veto any measure that does not suit him. If the House and Senate pass an apportion ment bill that is satisfactory to then, and the Governor sits down on it he,will bo'responsibte for tbo failure to redistrict tbe State. It- was on this ground that be called his famous extra session, claiming that, under the Constitution, tbe State should be reapportioned.' "As for the manner of -granting licenses, J do not think tbero will be any change in tho pres ent system. The people In the country' as against the cities are well satisSed with the Brooks law and the present method of granting licenses, and the country mcmberswillvote against any change." "Will lirooks be elected .Speaker of the House?" was asked. 1 "Well. 1 don'r know. I seldom go Into the House aud am not posted. Thompson.-of War reu, is a good man. very able, and would fill the position admirably. I thlnlrhc' wijl be support ed by the Representatives from" the' northwest ern tier of counties "and possibly ruaiiy of the members In tbe northern counties, will stand bv him. This wiil not essentially be a iarrckrs' Legislature, but tbey will have ponsideraule weight aud influence." j ' , PIAK OF THE HEXT HOUSE. Congressman Wilson Says the' Democrats Will Change the McKlhley Bill.' Congressman Wilson, of Missouri, was.a pas senger on tbe Eastern express," bound for Washington lasf evening.. He thinks the Sen ate will hardly pass tho Federal elections bill, and if they do it will come back to' the House in an amended form, and the Republicans will never get a quorum together to push it through. .Many of the defeated Republicans have not been in tbe House since the short session opened. Mr. Wilson says it is human nature to lose interest under such circumstances. Concerning tho work of the next Congress, he said: "About the first tbintr the Democrats will do is to tear tbe McKinley bill to pieces. Separate bills will be passed -to cover thoso schedules where there is a wide discrepancy be tween tbe views of the two parties. A -.full coinage bill will also be . passed, aud the Democrats will in other respects legislate for tbe best interests of the' people. 1 am not a member of the Farmers' Alliance, but the grangers are closely allied with the Demo crats. The Alliance is a non-political organiza tion, and tbey will certainly not put up an inde pendent candidate unless they rcvoluti6mze their' principles. The farmers repudiated the sub-Treasury scheme, which is 'a ridiculous idea. The crangers will be a strong factor in politics in the future, and neither party can afford to ignore them." MONEY SCAECE AT PEESEKT. JIr. Xonrse, the Lecturer, Reports No Glow ing Condition of Affairs. Robert Kourse, the Washington lecturer, stopped over to spend yesterday at the Ander son. He says wherever he goes ho finds.the money market in a very tight condition, but he has great faith in the recuperative powers of the country, and he thinks tho people will re cover from a panic. He just came from Meadvillo where he said things had been knocked topsv-turvy by the failure of the Delamater bank. Tho depositors think they will hardly be able to pay 10 cents on the dollar, and the result is much suffering and bitterness of feeling. GUESTS OF THE w"ABIJEH.

That Js What the Doctors Say Atom X the.Present Weather. MUCH SICKNESS.ALT 0YEK TEE CITY Typhoid Fever and Diphtheria PreTail in Various Places. CHATS WITH WELL-KXOWS-nilSICIASSJ A city without its sick is an anomally. The health of a community depends to,a large extent on the weather, and . Pittsburg, during the past few weeks, lias had a dose of tbe vilest kind, while towns Bast aud West have comparatively escaped. Yesterday was a bad day to see physicians, as, like the barbers, they enjoy a half holi day once in awhile, and they closed their offices early, and only a tew could be found. The reports received of the health of the city at present varied. Some doctors claimed there was considerable sickness; others said that despite the weather the number of sick was not unusual. Disagree able coughs and colds, sore throat, some typhoid fever and pneumonia prevail in al most every locality in the two cities. THEY BLAME IT ON 1HE .AVEATHEK. All the physicians agree that' the weather is responsible. Strange to nay, there are no contagious diseases of any consequence, and the sore throat seldom develops Into diphtheria.- Any number of people are "out of fir," and men and women go around with aching bones and sharp pains, bnt they do not complain much and are-not confined to bed. Sufferers from rheumatism aud gout have their maladies aggravated by the snow and rain. But doctors will differ, and thopeoplo can take their choice. In the East End considerable sickness Is re ported. Indeed, physicians say that In some places it is awfuL Many of the streets are torn up and are In a frightful condi tion. The recent heavy snows and thaws with the rain added have not helped the streets'nr tbo health of this portion of the citv. Sore throats, which the doctors playfully call follicular pharyngitis. In medical parlance, with a tendency to typhoid fctcr. predominate. This trouble runs up -the temperature of tbe body to a high degree, and it is always liable to terminate in fevers of some kind, which are dangerous. "WHAT SOME OF THE DOCTOKS SAT. Dr. Ward reports numerous cases of sore throat and some typhoid fever in tbe East End. Dr. H. B. Orr was caught on the fly at his of fice door, and talked for a few minutes. "The health of the city at present," be said, "is in'a peculiar condition. Thero seems to be an epidemic of surgical cases. There are any number of broken legs, dislocated ankles, and sprains, due, I suppose, to the slippery condi tion of tbe streets and tbe fall of pedestrians on them. Then I find plenty of pneumonia and typhoid fever. These troubles are not con fined ' to any part of the city, for I have patients scattered around in different sections. If you will examine the death cer tificates, these days, you will see that pneu monia and typhoid fever aro frequently tbe causes. "A great many penulo are suffering from bronchitis and bad colds with a strong tendency to malaria, which leaves them in bad shape. Malaria is developing, and it is due, of course, to the sloppy and disagreeable woatber. I meet lots of men who are not In good health. They aro not in bed, but they don't feel well and are out of fix. Coughs and colds also pre vail to a large extent. In fact, I think the weather is having a bad effect on the health of the city, and people can't be too careful of themselves toward oft fevers and pneumonia." MUCH GENERAL SICKNESS. Dr. W.T. English said that since he was con fining himself to tbo treatment of the heart and lungs ho was not as well posted as he should be on the health of the city. He stated that in talking with physi cians who have .a general .practice ho learned that there was considerable sick ncss, but it was not of a dangerous character. It is not confined to the Southside this time, bnt the East End seems to be cUching it. Diphtheria is not common.but any number of nomiln arA tronbtpfl with sore throat. It is not 'fatal as a rtile, but is very disagreeable while it j l6cra na tin i-inrnl rATnrt 1 to rtltl lin tllft tpm-' peraturO of the body and make the patient feverish. There is some typhoid fever and pneumonia, but tho Doctor said he bad not beard that it prevailed to an alarming extent. Like other physicians, be holds the bad weather responsible for much of the sick ness. He does not believe that many cases of genuioe "grip" are to bo found in the city, but he says a number of people are affected with severe colds. FOUND BUT LITTLE TTPnOID. Drs. Blystone and Hoffman represent tbo Homeopathicschool. Dr. Blystone stated that be did not think an unusual amonnt of sickness prevailed at present. He found plenty of coughs and colds, but be bad no typhoid lever or pneu monia cases, and Dr. Hoffman had not told him that he had any snob patients. Dr. Bly stone thought tbe health of tho city was quite good, considering tbe condition of tho streets and weather. Dr. D. A. Hengst states that bis experience bas been that there is no lnoro sickness at present than at the same time last year. The weather was mainly responsible for a great deal of trouble among people's refpiratory organs,, but there was nothing in the shape of an epidemic so far be knew. In bis practice he knew he bad not a case of typhoid fever or diphtheria, but of tbo, lighter -forms of pul monary diseases there were plenty, due solely to the weather. People get their feet wet and there you arc. TYPHOID IN THE EAST END. Dr. E. F. Frasher, of Oakland, has a differ ent experience. In the course of a talk yester day be said, among other things: "I have found recently a number of typhoid cases, and they have proved more than ordinarily fatal as com pared with the last few years. Most of them are down among tbe foreigners along Second avenue, but up on Bouquet street, above Fifth avenne, where tbe coudltions would not he considered favorable for such diseases, thero are several cases and they are just as bad as those in t he low lands. I hardly know to what to attribute them. "The germs of infectious diseases are no doubt held by the piles of snow along-the streets. There Is also a great deal of malarial fever, but of course that is in the lower sec tions where the conditions are more favorable. Taking other diseases, I do not tbink there is any greater proportion than last year, in fact If anything, the general health is better." Dr. A. J. Davis, of East Liberty, does not take much stock in reports of increased sick ness. Ho said that ho knew of no cases of typhoid fever or diphtheria. Trne. there were what aro known as typhoid svmptouis. bnt he knew of no cases of genuine fover. His expe rience did not show any Increased amount of sickness except that due to the weather, sore throats and the like. AN EXPBESS WBECKED TWICE. A Train Collldes'WItli a Freight Engine, and the Fireman Is Hurt. Tbe Cleveland express on tbe Cleveland and Pittsburg road bad a serious time be fore it arrived In Pittsburg yester day, sir hours behind time Tho train was wrecked twice. First the engine and one of tbe cars ran off the track on a bridge about 30 miles from Alliance. No one was hurt, and fortunately the locomotive didn't fall from the bridge. They had con siderable trouble to put them on the track again, and tbe train had to go back to Alliance and come in over the Fort Wayne road." At Rochester tbe express ploughed into a freight engine and the cab of tbe passenger locomotive- was smashed into splinters. Tbe baggage car was also' transformed Into kindling wood. Tbe engineer and fireman jumped for their lives. Tbe engineer escaped unhurt, and the fireman was pretty well bruised up, but he is not seriously Injured. Tbe passengers were not hurt, but after this second experience wero very badly scared. WOMEN IK THE C0HFEBEKCE. A majority of the-Methodist People Favor Their Admission. The vote on the question of tbe women get ting a voice in tbo-M.-E. Conference shows that a majority favor the innovation, though tbe matter will not be fully disposed of until tbe Conference Itself bas a vote. It will even then require a two-thirds Vote.. Tbe idea seems to prevail that tbe Conference will concur in tbe action of the people at large and admit women as delegates. Tho total membershiD in all tbe conferences amounts to 1,531,624. Of these, so far as beard from. 231,311 voted, and 1SZ.2S1 voted in favor of admitting women to the General Confer ence,wblle 109,033 .voted to keen them out. The figures show some curious tacts. Many of the Eastern districts were overwhelmingly against tbe women; bnt the Western districts, where women are, supposed tobo scarce, turned out royauy in xavor ot tue iemaie. ;. SAVED THE .REPUBLIC. Tho Death of H. E. ' Church Brings to Light an Unpublished Incident or the War Foiling a Plot for the Capture of the Mississippi Squadron. ' H. 3. Church died at the Mercy Hospital yesterday moraine as the result of the ex plosion of an oxygen cylinder at the Eed Lion on Tuesday. When taken to the hos pital it was found necessary to amputate one leg, and bo never recovered from the shock. Church was 50 years old,,-a widower, and bas a sister in Indianapolis. Church was an officer on the Rattler, one of tbe Mississippi squadron, during the war, aud Ids death brings to light some, hitherto unpub lished history ot the rebellion, and is vouched for by Captain Dan Silvns, who also served on this vessel. Captain Olcnny, a Southerner, commanded tho Rattler, aud his duty was to patrol about 40 miles of the river, iu the neighborhood of Jefferson Davis' plantation, to prevent the crossing of Khby Smith, who-was desirous of getting his force into- Texas. Glenny leaned toward the South, and 'a plot was arranged with his connivance whereby the Rattler, and through that, the entire Mississippi squadron, should be captured by the rebels. One summer dav ln'64 Captain Glenny or dered two boatloads of men ashore to"capture two sons of Colonel James, whose plantation was near by. The young men were officers In the Southern army, and. according to tbe Cap tain, were borne on furlough. Nearly all tbe other men aboard were granted their liberty for the day and at once took advantage of it by going ashore. Tbe exneditlon landed, and while going through the woods, fell into an ambush of 1,400 picked rebels massed on either side of the road. The sailor boys wero outnumbered, and promptly dropped, and this resulted in some 30 rebels being shot by their friends in the cross fire. The expedition was captured, the rebels Started for their boats, killed the boatkeepcrs and pulled for the Rattler. Captain Glenn saw the rebels coming, but made no effort to stop them, although he could have blown them out of water. The executive officer noticed this, and suspecting treachery, ordered the Captain under arrest, and with tho help of the liberty men. who came tumbling on board when tbey heard tho firing in tho wood, repelled tbe boarders, and tbo plot was foiled. Church was ordered by the executive officer to take command. A few davslater the executive officer was re lieved by a man who had been on furlough, who was a Southerner and awarmlriend ot Captain Glenn. A couple of nights later tho newly-arrived executive officer told Captain Church that he might "turn in," and as this permission was equivalent to a command, Church obeyed. All tbe men on deck and the sentry guarding Captain Glenny received the same orders, and, of course, obeyed. In the morning Captain Glenn, the executive officer and a skiff were missing, and were next heard of in Vicks burg. For some reason, never explained, the author ities kept tbe matter quiet at tbe time, and it bas not been made public until to-day. SEVEEAL LITTLE FELLOWS LOST. Quite a Day for Stray Toungstors in tho Sonthslde Wards. Last evening seemed to be tho proper time for small boys to stray away from homo and get lost on the Southside. Henry Call, who resides at !No. 123 Carson street, called at th&Twenty cighth ward police station laft nigbt, and stated that his 14-year-old son had been missing from homo since 8 o'clock yesterday morning. Johu Bowers, a resident of the Thirty-first ward, was also searching for a lost bo v. -His 8-year-old son had left borne a short time before 12 o'clock yesterday, and failed to show up at home in tbe evening. , It is also reDorted that Jacob Berger. a resi dent of tho Twenty-fourth ward, was looking for bis 6-year-old son. COKEIDEHT OF A HARVEST. Temperance Workers Well Pleased With Their Present Outlook. The new year was opened with a good meet ing by tbe temperance people in the Standard Theatre last night. Tbe attendance' was larger than at any of tbe other week-night meetings, and tbo interest displayed was excellent. Mr. Dnnn took for his tbeme tbe "moderate" man, and succeeded in building up a bright address on that foundation. A meetiue will be beld to-night, as usual. One of the features ot these meetings is the character ot the audiences. Thev are made up chiefly of men, and each night a different set seems to he present. The promoters of the meeting feel confident of an abundant harvest. Charged With Trying to Beat a BalL Harry Cready, Richard Scott and William Joues, all young men, .werejirrested by Officer Hagerling Ust nfght, and locked up in tbe Twenty-eighth ward police station. They are charged with trying to get in Turner Hall, on Jane street, through a window In the rear of the building while a ball was going on inside. A Bull in a China shop. The whirlwind of trade that swept through Kaufmanns' china' department during the holiday season can be likened ouly to the proverbial "Bull in a china shop." it created sad havoc with all kinds of goods. A thousand odds and ends are scattered in every direction, and no matter where you look you see some evidence of the wreck. Of course, these odds and ends are all in first-class condition, but the price? are all brAken in pieces. Furthermore, the room is needed for new stock, and Kaufmanns have, therefore, concluded to inaugurate to morrow morning an entire unconditional and speedy clearance sale of all oddB and ends in china, crockery, art.pottery, glass ware, etc., AT HALF THE MABKED PRICES. Now, bear well in mind, this is no trick or splurge. Kaufmanns mean jnst what they say. You simply pay one-half the price marked on the ticket. That's "plain isn't it? You will find: . Odds and ends in china dinner sets. Odds and ends in china tea sets. Odds and ends in china toilet sets. Odds and ends in china plates. Odds and ends in cups and saucers. Odds and ends in china dishes. Odds and ends in soup tureens. Odds and ends in meat and turkey plat ters. Odds and ends in vases. Odds and ends in bisque figures. Odds and ends in art pottery. Odds and ends in glassware,; Odds and ends in willow ware. Odds and ends in toys and dolls. All, all, all will be sold by Kaufmanns at a discount of 50 per cent; or one-half off the marked prices. Ladies, if you need any thing for your table or kitchen, or desire'a piece of fine bric-a-brac, you have here the opportunity of -a lifetime to buy it at un cqualed low prices. B. &B.

The Cambria Company Experimenting; ' With Billets So Hade. THAT LITTLE APPA1E AT JKAN5ETTE A good deal of attention is being given at present to tbe question of making steel by the direct process. Since G. N. Bnelus and other British experts commented so favor ably on the Adams process.methods'for con verting steel direct from the ore have been more generally Inquired into by manu facturers. That there is- something in it the trade is convinced from the successful results ob tained at the Carbon Iron Works. This company has had a daily increasing demand fot its output during the past year, and to fill the requirements of its customers is now obliged, and has decided to enlarge the capacity of its plant by one half. Tbe economy of direct conversion over the general method is i generally conceded, and it is on this account due to the ever increasiug k?enes3'of competition that has induced inquiries into thejirocess. SATISFIED WITH KESULTS. A few weeks ago some gentlemen con nected with the Cambria Iron and Steel Company, at Johnstown, made a careful in spection of the Adams process at the ex perimental plant on tbe Black Diamond ground. These were so far satisfied with tbe results there obtained- that thev had several billets shipped to their own works for further experiments. What has resulted bas not been learned here. But, taken in connec tion with tbe present depressed condi tion of the rail market, it is interest ing to note that the Cambria Company has so far recognized tbe direct process as to try some pf tbe billets in their mills. It.bas been said that this company contemplated putting down a direct process plant if satisfied with the finished material made from the billets. The one thing brought forward against tbe process is the small output in-proportion to tbe area occupied by the plant. When tbe Allegheny Bessemer mill changed ownership at a price which 'it may be said was nearer $1,000,000 than $2,000,000, as reported.lt was rumored that Mr. FaTk contemplated erecting a direct process nlant in tho vicinity of Duqucsne, but subsequent inquiry developed that the report was at least premature. LOOSING INTO THE BUSINESS. It has also been stated that more than one set of capitalists were "thinking" about embark ing in the direct steel business. It is said, on very good authority, that Carnegie, Fh'ipps & Co. have specialists engaged in Investigating the merits of direct processes, with the view, of course, of adopting the method if results war rant them in doing so. Bat this firm Is con stantly entrazed in attaining the utmost econo my and efficiency in their systems ot manufact ure, and rather branch outin a new direction uecause or its determined auvamages man De cause other people now travel along the same) path. From inquiries which are being made from experts in this city, there are indications that some of tbe first plants for directly converting steel will be located In the South. More could be said on this subject but that certain matters now pending are nut quite ripe. . ME. SIICKEB.'S POSITION Tn Begard to the Blatter in Dispute at the Jeannette Glass Works. . The following letter is self-explanatory: Jeannette, Dec. 31, 1830. To the Editor or The Dispatcn: I see by to-day's paper that President Eber harr? of tlie Window Glass Workers, refuses to be quoted on tbe Jeannette matter. Mow. I think that with all fairness he should have made tlie matter clear as lar as I am concerned. While I do not want to state the cause of the trouble, I will sav that 1 was not the cause, nor was 1 in any way implicated In It. only so far as 1 tried to effect a settlement for those who were. 1 think Treat ment Kberhart should have made that point clear, and not have the public believe that the trouble was caused by mc. when 1 have nothing to do with It. 1 hope von will make this public In your next edition, and oblige yours , WU.LI13I II. Slickke. Several visits were made to the Southside witb a view ot obtaining some answer to this letter from Mr. Eberbardt, but be could not be found. Tbe difference between tbe association and the firm is reported to be on tbe score of tbo employment of workers not in the associa tion. Another: matter of dispute is whether tbe blowers' helpers sboutd be paid by the firm or by tbe blower. As no stoppage has, up to tho time of writing, been reportea from Jean nette, the assumption is that tbe matter is in a fair way to be settled. AH IHP0ETED LAE0E QUESTION. Circular Issued by I- A. 300 in Relation to the Jeannette Affair. A cotemporary has permitted itself to be misled into denying recent interviews in The Dispatch with Mr. Chambers and President jberhart, of the jGlassworkers, regarding the temporary difficulty at' the Jeannette Glass "Works, and states that tbere is no question at all at issue tbere. This is gratuitously officious, and also wrong, as the renorts In this column and tbe state ments of'Messrs. Chambers and Eberhart were absolutely correct. George Ll Coke, Secretary of Li. A. 300, bas issued a circular notifying un ion glassworkers that members of U. A. 300 "are refusing to work until an alleged violation of contract Is settled." It is hoped, of course, that tbe aueuion will be satisfactorily arranged, but meantime no good comes from falsifying the facts. S0UTHEEN COAL SLOW. Captain O'Neill Has a Bad Opinion of the Outlook in the Trade. Captain W. W. O'Neill thinks the prospects of the river coal trade are bad. Ho said yester day that the outlook before the up-river strike was not encouraging, but it was worse now. It was quite impossible to give tbe men another half centa bushel. This would really mean an advance of three-quarter cents, since wharf men and others would have to be paid in pro portion. Ho bad spent several days lately, in Louisville and Cincinnati trying to sell his coal. As an instance of the condition of the markets, he was unable to sell even one of the 40 ba'rges of coal be bas there. There was no demand, and, besides, the Western coal was a severe com petitor.

Jr-Mcmr THE, RIVER SWELLING. A Else of Eight Inches an Hour. Registered on tho Monongahela Marks Last Even ing Itlvermen Eipect at Least 15 Teet of TTater. The river began a heavy rise at G o'clock last evening, from that time on swelling at the rate of eight inches an hour, and at 020 o'clock it registered 9 feet 6 inches above the low-water mark. The rivermen are expect ing at least 15 feet in the river this morning and probably more. If the cold wave scheduled fails r, come there may possibly be a very big river. However, all are looking for the cold snap to come and that will settle the question of water. .William Douglass, late lumberman, states that he has noticed for many years.tbat when the gutters are not flooded in time of atbaw.it (tbe thaw) does not amonnt to much; that tbe "fountains ot tbe great deep" are broken up, as it were, in time of a regular thaw, and that such is not the case at present. This view is borne out from the fact that yesterday tbe snow lay nearly as deep as ever on field and in forest. Some observers tbink one of (he various bliz zards prowling around in tbe Northwest will head this way before many hours and put a stop to tho present dissolution. When river men heanfyesterday nftt-rnoon that tbe cold flag was up they breathed easier, though some of them opined that there would be from 15 to 18 feel in any event short-of a regular freeze up. A continuation of warm weather with rain at. the, headwater districts would give at least 30 feet, and possibly more than in 1S81. La Adonis Reception.
