Informations AgainstSupposed Ringleaders.
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

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.

The Journal Clerk pf' the Senate Starts, for

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.

BAD FOR THE LUNGS.
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.

RIGHT PPiOATTHE ORE
Considerable Attention Now Given to
the Question of Making
STEEL BY DIRECT CONVERSION.
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. Look Out for Stock-Taking

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.
La Adonis will have tbelr fourth annual se
lect reception in Uniformed Knights' Hall on

ladles in white and tbo men in black. Promi
nent on tho committee are Edward Schaffer,

Tne affair promises to be very enjoyable.
