The news paper article which save rise to them will be retracted." Thomas B. Ilea, the broker, was asked nliout the dealings in "Western Maryland Bailroad bonds. He said: "Yes, there has been some of the bonds on the market, but I haTe nothing at all to say on the matter." Colonel Schoonmaker's Statement. Coloml J. M. Schoonmaker made the fol lowing statement: "ilr. 'William Vankirk was elected Vice President of the bank at our last election, but resigned because of ill health, aud I was elected his successor." "Was he engaged in 'kiting' checks, as rumored?" "No, sir." v "Was he connected with the Western ilarvland Railroad enterprise?" "He ays not I belieTe him." "Will vou state who did the 'kiting' re ferred to?" "Certainly not. This is a bank matter entirely. I will stale that during the tight jnonev market the bank detected one of its depositers 'kitinc checks on other banks. They were promptly thrown out and the vjarty notified to make them good by un doubted security, which was done." "Will the bank be compelled to draw on Its surplus, asallegcd?" "K"t a dollar." "William Vankirk, when seen, said that his resignation as V.ce President "had noth ing to do with this 'citing' business." Mr. V.inkirk also said that he is not interested at all in the Western Maryland Railroad Company, and has no knowledge of any "Uting"paperothertban that discovered by the directors of the bank, regarding which quick and effective action wjs taken. Everything; At 111 Bo All Right. So fjr as the bet information goes, there is realtv nothing in the hubbub which has been raided, ncipt o lar as the irregularity ot loaning so much money out of the Tradesman's Bink to two or thiee individ uals. Tlic national banking law restricts Joans to one-tenth of the capital to auy single individual. It aupears that three individual-: borrowe-lin excess of this amount. So far as the actual loans arc concerned, it is, quite probable they -may eventually come out all right. The Western Maryland Company has about 2,000,000 worth of anthracite coal property winch is almost entirely paid for, and this alone ought to make it secure. The onlv bond-out are siid to be from 5700.000 to $1,000,000, which have been purchased in Pittsburg. The difiUultv, it is said, origi nated with some people purchasing the bonds withont being able to pay for them. They hjd to go into the bank and borrow the money to pay lor them, and when their nots came due, the 'tringency of the money market prevented them from meeting the notes. In the case of Mr. Hsstetter, who, of course, paid oash for his holdings, there has been no difficulty, nor will there be any Ic-s. It is said, that if the parties in interest come together, and arrange lor the develop ment of the property, everything will come out all light. EOT AGAEfST M2. HOSTETTEB. 3Ir. Miller's Liillin Rquitj Directed Against 3Ir. Tajlor. J. H. Miller, formerly of Pittsburg, but now of Baltimore, wasattbo Dnqnesne yesterday. Mr. Miller is heavily interested in tbc Maryland Central Railroad, and recently instituted a bill in equity in the Philadelphia courts against a Mr. Taylur, of Wilkesbarre, and Herbert rios tctter. of tins clt. Mr. Miller explained that he had enme to Pittsburg to settle up the mat ter with Mr. Hnstotter, and the suit bad been amicab y adjusted. He said the bill was instituted to compel Tavlor to perform his part or a contract and it was ueccssarvto en join Mr. nostetter's name to bring the" suit to a successful Ksue. Mr. liostetter ami he had bought some coal lands from Mr. Tailor in connection with the Maryland Central road, winch afterward was separated from tbe rail road property, and it was in this part of the transaction that Mr. Hostetter got mixed up In tbe dispute. The bill was in realitv ditected against Taylor. Mr. Sillier said he had sold Marvland Central securities to Mr. Hustcttcr ' last summer and also bad borrowed money in return from him. It looked to lnm. he added, as if Taylor wanted more than his share out of the transac tion. Sp-aknig of the "kiting" of checks on the Tradesman's Bank. Mr. Miller said he knew ail about it, ana it was ridiculous to make such a fuss over it. A certain man had been doing a little kiting on his own- account, but for not the ammint by far as published in tbe papers. The money had been paid back, and everything was satisfactory.

AFTER THIRTY YEARS James Williams Meets His lonngcr Brother Frank, Whom.' Bo Bad Long Afjo Mourned as Dead. A DISCOVERY MADE BY ACCIDENT. Comparison of Incidents in Their Lives Oyer a Friendly Glass Leads to the Recognition. FEASK KAN A WAT AND BECA3IE MCII. His Life Fall cf Strtrge Airastarts in Euroje mi tit Dux Ccauseat. Two brothers who had not seen each other for 30 years met accidentally at the Union station yesterday afternoon. They were James and Frank Williams, who spent their boyhood days ou a farm near Harrisburg. Both were stalwart meu and well dressed. They happened to be sitting together in the depot, when, as strangers, they commenced to talk about the weather, aud finally James asked the other gentleman to accompany him across the street to take a drink. One thing led on to another, and as they learned more about each other's'lives they discovered they were brothers. Prank lived in Montrose, Col., where he had accumulated a fortune in silver mines, bnt his brother stayed with the old folk till they died, and had inherited the small es tate left Had Earned His Inheritance. He offered to share with his brother, but tbe Western man reiused, and said that as he had remained close to his father and mother during their old age he was entitled to it. Both men cried over their wine, as they recalled many incidents of their boyhood days, and it was with much affection and tears that they parted at the Union depot last evening. Trank returned to the West, and while his brother was waiting for a train to go East he told this story: "My brother ran away from home when he was 14 years old. As he was quiet in demeanor my4 father and the people of the town thought some accident had befallen him, and they dragged the creek and searched for him, but in vain. Several weeks afterward he turned up in Phila delphia, where he learned tbe machinist's trade in a railroad shop. He fell in with a gang of Socialists, and became an inlidcl. Split on a Theological Rock. One day my father, who was agreat church man, paid him a visit in the Qnaker City, when Frank advanced some of his anti-religious ideas. The old man was shocked, and tried to pull the boy back on the beaten track by force. The boy was proud aud stubborn and tenacious of his rights. He felt that he had been wrongly treated, and he decided to go to sea with a companion. The last I heard of him was SO ears ago, when he wrote me and said he was going away, and I wonld probably never see him again. He stopped in England and on the Continent for quite awhile, and while in London visited Westminster Abbey. To a friend he wrote that he had shed a tear over the grave of Shakespeare at Stratford-on-Atod. Tbcn he set sail for Africa, as a ship machinist, and spent considerable time in the Dark Continent, where he had .many adven tures. Sleeting With Misfortune. "He next visited Australia, where ho struck a panic and almost died of starvation. His companion worked his way to San Francisco and soon returned with money, but he didn't havo enough to pay the passage of both to 'Frisco. He returned to tbe United States, and when be cnt back to Australia for my brother tbc latter bad gone to New Zealand. He livedthere for 10 years. and made monev as a trader. The natives ot New Zealand are talL powerful men, but very intelligent, and ho became much1 attached to tbe country. One day, in a titof homesickness, he decided to return to tbe United btates. and ho came back and settled in Colorado, where he made a fortune. "Iu the meantime my parents hail mourned him as dead, and ther died about ten years ago. I moved away from tbe old homestead, and my brother, who bad been looking for me, lost all trace. We met to-day by accident, and you don't know how glad I was to see that boy once more. He Is my only brother, ana I can scarcelv retain my joy since I know he is still living." ' FAULK HELD FOE MUSDEB. False Prophet Knauff Turns l7p, and the Jury Suggest That Ho Bo Restrained. The inquest on the body of Mrs. Mary Ann Faulk, who was sho: and killed on Friday by her husband, on tbe Wilson tarm, at Laurel, was concluded yesterday. . Faulk was not brought before the Coroner, Jail Physlciau Cbessrown declaring that it might cause tbe death of tbe prisoner. Tester day morning Faulk's pnlse was up to-150, and his heart was beating aery irregularly. His mental condition, outside of extreme nervous ness, appeared good. George Knauff, the false prophet, to whose utterances Faulk attributes all h.s misfortnnes, was present, baying been found at the County Home. In clvinc his testimony he said ! am (S years old. I have been married and had 12 I cuuurcn. um ei;;ub 01 mem are now uead. In November I went lo the Wilson farm, and ued to read a German Bible to Mr. and Mrs. Faulk. Mr. FaulK could not read German, so I advised him to get an English Bible. Afterward ho re buked his wifo for reading his Bible, and said it belonged to him alone. I never told lain that the end of the world was at hand, nor did I tcU him to kill bis wife, bho was the best woman I ever knew. I never said I was Christ or a prophet. I arotild sooner have him kill me than kill his woman." At this point Knauff broke down and wept bitteily. He was dismissed. The other testimony taken was simplv a repetition of the account of the mnrder Dab lished in Saturday's Dispatch. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that Mrs. Faulk came to her death from hemorrhage caused by gunshot wounds penetrating the lungs, and that tbe shots were hred by her husband, William J. Faulk.'w hile temporarily insane from religion. The jury further recommended that George Knauff should be conbned In the Allegheny county jail and his sanity inquired into for tbe better protection of public lite. Coroner McDowell held a conference with Judge fetowe. and the latter decided that Knauff could not be held at tbe jury's sugges tion unless be was proven to be an accessory to tbe murder.

Serious Charge Against a Young Woman Follce Say tho Capture of Katie Mo Namara Is Important Affection of Her New York Husband Held for Court. Katie HcNamara, alias Flossie Eock wood, alias Flossie Remington, was given a hear ing before Alderman Gripp yesterday after noon on tbe chargejof forgery, and committed to jail In default of $500 ball for trial at the March term of court. Tbe charge was pre ferred against her by Louis Cella, Jr., formerly a clerk in tbe Pittsburg postofflce. on Septem ber It is alleged that tbe woman forged hert mother's, Mrs. Annie McNamara's, signature to' a mortgage and judgment bond amounting, to f 300 on some property situated on California aaenue, Allegheny, and owned by Mrs. Annie McNamara. ' Cella says that an attorney went to the post offlce one day and asked him to bny it, and, knowing tbe attorney, be purchased it. Last May Cella went to collect the interest on tho mortgage, but could find no person to pay it, as Miss McNamara had left the city. Cella then looked up tbe mortgage in the county records, and found, to his satisfaction, that everything was all right. He decided to have the bouse sold. A notice was tacked on the premises to that effect, and May 14 last was tbe day set for its sale. While people wero on' tho premises bidding for tbe bouse an old woman, who said her name was Annio McNamara, happened along and claimed the property, it having been purchased wltb money which she received on a life insurance policy after the death of her husband a few months before. This stopped the sale for the time being. Cella produced the mortgage with Annie McNainara's signa ture to it. Mrs. McNatuara said it was a for gery, because she could not write. On this in formation Cella based his Charge ol forgery against Miss Katie McNamara. Lately the woman has been living in New York City with George Bryan, who is said to be an expert at civil engineering. About tbe mid dle of last week the couple camo to Pittsburg and started to housekeeping at a well-known resort on First avenue. On Saturday night Detective William Shore heard of the woman's arrival in town and on hnnday located her at the First avenue bouse. He went to the place and arrested ber, in company with Bryan, who wanted to interfere. They were taken to Cen tral station and locked in separate cells. Yes terday Bryan was given a hearing and dis charged. For some reason the police officials tried to keep the matter quiet until the bearing fas held yesterday afternoon, when tho whole storv was learned in regard to tbe case. Miss McNamara and Bryan seem to be much at tached to each other. It is stated that they were married in New York City recently, bnt this is not definitely known. Bryan accom panied bis wife to the jail, and alter she bad Easscd through the cate she turned and kissed im, saying that everything would come out right in the end. At tbe bearing held beforo 'Alderman GripD there was not much evidence takon. with the exception of that of the prosecutor, and as this was not contradicted anylurther than a complete denial it was decided to hold the woman for court. AN AIRSHIP THAT SAILS. ' Prof. Renard's Wonderful Balloon Seen at Old City Hall Yesterday. The airship model ot Prof. Joseph Renard soared above tbe empty chairs and dangerously near the electric lights at Old City Hall yester day afternoon, and the delighted inventor ap peared as happy as a schoolboy. He now declares that he has attained the object for which ho has been working 16 years of his life. The machine certainly "do move," and tbe in ventor only wants to make a "fall-grown air ship" that will work as well to make his fame moro far-reaching than that of the man at Mt. Carrael. The model Is 13 feet long, and Is egg-sbaned. It travels lug end first and is propelled by fans in front. Itisgnided by a rudder in the rear, and can be made to go in a circle, straight, or in an direction tho inventor desire. It cer tainly works well, and Mr. Renard as certainly fully understands tbe forces he is compelled to overcome. He is a Frenchman, and is a mem ber of the Aerial Navigation Society of Paris and tbe Areostat Academy, also of that city. EEDDY MAXTEE CAPTTJEED. The Allegheny Officers Catch Hint After Sea eral Months' search. John, alias '"Reddy" Master, and John Ma larky were arrested in Allegheny yesterday as suspicions characters, but there seems to be something bebmd the nrrests. In Master's case the Allegheny officials are very reticent, but intimato that be may be able to tell some thing of tbe escape of Paddy Mcgraw f r6m tbe penitentiary last November. Master said be bad been at the Hot Springs of Michigan for tbe past six months and had only returned a few days ago, but one of the Allegheny police claims to have seen him on Caliiornla avenue not far from the peniten tiary only two days before Megraw broke out. He is known to be a pal of Megraw's, and at ono lime was a cellmate of bis In tbe peniten tiary on Ohio street. 'When Warden Wright was spoken to of Maxter's probable complicity In Megraw's flight, he fell in with tbe ltlea at once, and believes be conld givo the officers somo information in the matter if he so desired.

Yesterday by 1 FEIENDS OF THE C0SLPANI HERE, Outside Creditors Also Come Forward and Lend a Hejping Hand. AFFAIRS K0W ATPBAR 10 BE EIGETIKG Though Mr.'Westinghonsc was not iu the city yesterday, matters shaped themselves so nicely that the dark clouds which have hovered around the financial affairs of his immense business concerns for some time seemed suddenly to part, allowing his co laborers here to again see the clear sky of success above them. Next week pill surely see the Westing honse companies solidly on their feet again, and their financial basis will be as sound as ever they were before the waves of trouble broke against them. This, too, can come withont again calling the guarantee fnnd to its aid. This hope is also likely to be real ized withont tbe assistance Mr. Westing house expects to get while on this trip to New York. Pnrsnant to the request made by the Pittsburg Creditors' Committee in its re port of last Thursday, tbe full text of which was published in The Dispatch, letters were sent to all the outside creditors, asking them to take preferred stock in payment for their claims. With these circulars was sent a copy of the report of the Creditors' Com mittee, signed by James B. Haines, Jr., Chairman; also personal letters from Mr. Westinghonse and Mr. TJptereraff. These letters set forth the advantages to be gained on both sides by the disposal ol this pre ferred stock. Preferred Stock Selling Rapidly. Results yesterday proved the brilliancy of the plan. Although the letters were only mailed on Saturday, none but favor able replies were received from all over the country. One man took 150 shares, another wanted 170 shares, and still another laid claim to 20 shares. Then camo a host of smaller creditors and each took tho amount or his claims. One of these creditors took as high as 60 shares, while the holder of a smaller claim subscribed for 20 share". As has been stated, Mr. Wostmgouse re turned to New York Saturday, and tbereforo could not do anything until yesterday. Rut as tho wires were all down not a lino of informa tion was recoived from him during tho day. Mr. Uptergraff thought yesterday matters were in much better shape than ever, and he wore a baopy smile when he gavo out the wel come information that yesterday alone sub scriptions for 1,350 shares of stock bad been re ceived in Pittsburg. Said he: "It is tue brightest day we have had for a longtime. The stock is bound to go tip. We have here received subscriptions for 1,350 shares or preferred stock, outside of what has been done by Mr. Bannister. All tho reports are coming in more favorable, and if this but con tinues for the remainder of tbe week we will bo on solid ground, exclusive of what Mr. Westingbnuse may do in New York. We have not heard anything from him to-day be cause all the wires are down." Stock Taken Hero and In the .East. The 1,350 shares or preferred stock taken yes terday came in answer to an advertisement ap pearing In Sunday's UlSPATCir, and has no connection whatever with that sold by tbe Creditors' Committee, who may have sold as much more. As stock was being taken in lour different directions yesterday, the results wero much better than the above flgmesshow. It was being purchased by local friends of the company, by local creditors, by outside credit ors, and by the friends of Mr. Westinghousn in tbe East. Tbe turn affairs have taken has caused con siderable of a jollification among those directly connected with the company, but hardlv more tban among other financial ceople who are anxious that this big concern should remain in Pittsburg; a giant among giant industries. "Everything is looking well now," said Mr. Bannister: "and we, are sure to come out all rigbr. The friends and creditors of tbe com pany havo come forward and nobly helped It out. And, of course; the companT will not for got its friends when it again stands solidly on its f eer. as prosperous as could be wished." At tbe end of tnis week tbe full result of the work will be known, as Satnrdav will tin thn laotdav on which the preferred stock will be offered for sale. The, workers an tbe interest of tbe company will certainly bave earned a good share of tbe prosperity that is to come. A suit was entered against tho company yes terday, but it was only for a small amount, SL5S3 H. It was brought by tbe Keystone Na tional Bank, of Erie. LOCAL EAILBOAt) CIECLES. Mr. Lawrence, of the B. Jt O., Will Succeed Geo. McCague on the Lake Shore. Several changes in local railroad circles will be made this week.

Oscar Constans will succeed Mr. Lawrence on the B. & O. He is private secretary to General Freight Agent Wight. J. H. Hughston. commercial agent for the Union Pacific, will be transferred this week to a similar position in the West. He will be suc ceeded by L. T. Fowler, who was tho company's Philadelphia agent. The changes are the re sult of tbe president's agreement. The Qnaker city office of the road has been abandoned for sometime, and the New York aj'ent has been looking after tho territory. Mr. Hughston lias been in Pittsburg for several months. Ho formerly represented the road in Indiana and Michigan. He is an affable man and will be mused in local railroad circles. GOING AFTEE THE SCHEM2S&- Chief Brown Making It Lively for So-Called Co-OperaUve Benefit Societies. Chief Brown is very earnest in his war against those so-called co-operative societies exposed in j esterday's DlsrATCir. Iu speaking of the subject last night, he said: "We do not allow anybody to rob our citizens if we know it. Inspector McAleese is looking after these schemes ana their authors, and will make it very lively for them. The fact that they are cbarteied will not save them in tbe least. It is preposterous to assert that any legitimate concern can pay 8100 for 'GO. as stated in the circulars issued by these people." SMALL ECBAPS OF LOCAIi HEWS.

The Painters' Fight Will Be Referred to the General Executive Committee No Cu ban Ore Will Be Shipped Here for a Year Labor Notes, The rumpus among local painters has grown to such dimensions that the only tri bunal before which it can now be settled is the Executive Board of the Brotherhood. The trouble seems to have had its origin with the vote on the eight-hour movement, but those connected with it deny this. The vote taken on this question was divided Pittsburg voting against making tbe move and Allegheny In favor of it. The difficulty subsequently de veloped into a fight over the election of a walk ing delegate. The candidates are W. H. Jewell, tbe present incumbent: W. F. Davenport, C. W. Kirk, Ben jamin Reed and John E. O'Sbea. Mr. Jewell seems to have filled tbe Office in a creditable and satisfactory manner, but his opponents have taken up a fight against the organization to which ho belongs rather than against Mr. Jewell. Members of Union No. 15 learned that No. 10 had a committee out electioneering for O'Sbea. This being contrary to tbe constitu tion of the organization. No. 15 sent out repre sentatives to investigate the matter. Secre tary M. P. Carrlck and a member named En glish visited No. 84. in the East End, 4 few nights ago, and O'Shea was there. Wbile speaking O'Shea is credited with tbe use of the following statement: "Tho time has come when the unions of Pittsburg must com bine and make a square tight against No. 15: as a nnited minority of that side of tbe river they have been able to havo the matters their own way and it is abont tiino the scattered majority had something to say." Union No. 15 held a lively meeting at 19 Fed eral street. Allegheny, last night. Representa tives were present from all of the Pittsburg unions and tbe matter nas thoroughly dis cussed. After tbe meeting. Secretary Carrick said: "There will certainly be charges pre ferred against Mr. O'Shea for distnrbing tho harmony of our organization and we propose to see the matter as tar as It will go. The matter will In all probability go before tbe Executive Committee of the Brotherhood." GBEAT DEMAJTD FOE MUCK IEOH. The Scarcity Not Felt So Severely for a Long Time. Tbe most important part played In the iron and steel center in this city is in muck iron. The demand and scarcity bave perhaps not been any greater in tho last four or five years than they are now, which is all on account of the low price. All the firms who are bnymg are trying to get all they can, and those firms here who have usually sold small lots, would rather stack up what they don't need. For some years. Chess, Cook & Co. bave sold more muck iron than all tbe other firms here, but owing to a labor troublo their mill has been shut down for six weeks, by which the men lose about J7.000 a month, for that is what tbe firm paid for wages alone in the way the mill has been run in the last two years. It Is not known when it will be started up. Lindsay fe McCutcheon are stacking up all their surplus muck iron, and Shoenberger fc Co who used to sell small lots, are usine all that they turn out. The only Pittsburg firm making raw iron for tho market is that of Hammond & Son, of the old Pennsylvania Forge, from 14 furnaces, a very Irregu lar run. Now the output is not over 25 tons a day. Carnegie Brothers fc Co. aro having shipped to their mill at Thirty-third street about 15 carloads of muck bar everyday. They are buying all they can get iu every mill in tbe Ohio Valley and in this State, and A. M. Byers Co. are getting a great deal of muck iron from several firms in Wheeling. BOOFEES HI THE CITY. Delegates to the Convention Arrive and See the Sights. About 20 representatives to the Master Roor ers' convention were in tbe city yesterday, and a few arrived from the East last evening. Tbe Western delegation, some of whom are here, will come in the morning. Secretary Thomas said they were trying to make a representative body out of the conven tion, hereafter, but he did not believe they were well enough organized to have it accomplished. Pennsylvania may be divided into an eastern and western district, and instead of having members from the local exchanges attend tbe annual meetings they could send delegates and save money. This is what the roofers are anxious to see done. Ho added that tbe trade last fall was phenomenal, and they are looking for a good season's busi ness, especially in Chicago on account of the World's Fair. The delegates yesterday were entertained by the local exchange, and in the evening at tended the Huquesne Theater. Some of the members went up on Mr. Washington to see the city and others inspected the Edgar Thom son at Braddock and other iron mills. CUBAN 0EES NOT COMING. No Banger of Competition With the South ern Prodnct for a Tear. Regarding the probability of Cnban ores coming into competition with Lake Superior ores in markets now commanded by the latter, it is not likely that such a contingency will occur for at least a year. The two Cuban mine owners that tried to deal with the Carnegles some weeks ago failed in tbeir endeavor to make a contract forthelr product, and it is said now that the only company mining and ship ping ore in Cuba is sending its entire prodnct to two stoel companies east of the Allegheny Mountains, and will continue to confine its shipments to these works for some time to come. On the part of the other companies owning properties in Cuba, it may be said that a vast amount of preparatory work is yet to be done, so that it is improbable that any shipments will be made during tbe pre-ent year; and when they do begin. It is thonght they will be con fined to furnaces near tho seaboard. FATS GLASS TBADE. Buyers From AU Parts of the Country Com ing; In Every Day. The glass agents at the Monongahela House so far bave been doinga good business. A num ber of buyers from all over the country bave come in and purchased freely. Among the buyers at tbe hotel yesterday were E. 8. Gatcb, ot Omaha, and A. II. Perkins, Des Moines. Money for tho Strikers. Secretin! Dillon, of tho Flint niana TVni-v- en' Unlon.'is in Coming looking after the In terests of tho strkiers. It was reported yester day that he had taken another installment of funds to distribute among the men, who are firmer tban ever to stand out for their de mands. Soap Makers to Meet To-Day. The soap manufacturers or tbe country will divide honors with the roofers at the Mononga hela House to-day. Action will be taken in regard to French and English soaps, which have largely Invaded tbe American market. Must Work Another Hoar. Tho journeymen carpenters of Jeannette havo been notified by tbeir bosses that after March 1 they must work nine hoars instead of eight. There is likely to bo a fight, as both sides are organized. Slnkmen to Meet To-Day. The manufacturers of iron sinks will meet at tbe Anderson to-aay. They will arrive in the morning. Industrial Notes. Wobk. was resumed in tbe puddling depart ment of Carnegie, Phipps fc Ca's Twenty.ninth 8 treet mill. The coal operators met yesterday again and passed a resolution that the mines be closed down indefinitely. A NEW lodge of the Amalgamated Associa tion has been formed in Louisville, Kv. Presi dent Weibe is just home from organizing It. Masteb Wobkkan Evans, of D. a. 3, K. of L., settled tbe T. C. Jenkins case yesterday, by having tbe discharged driver, Birch, rein stated. The Braddock Wire Company, which was,to bave started up its works at Rankin with non union men yesterday, failed tor want of a suffi cient number of bands. P. S. Kimbeelt, or Sharon, a furnace owner, says there seems to be no prospects of a re sumption of tbe furnaces, as most of them can not afford to go into blast when coke is so high and pig iron so cheap. THE corkworkers' scale has at last been agreed upon, but the time at which It shall be signed has not yet been settled. The firm w ants it to extend from January 15, 1891, to January 15. 1S92, while the men wantit signed May 1, to run a year. Appointed Assistant Jail Matron.

Celeuratlns tlio 132d Anniversary of the Daj of Ilia Birth. TKIUUPHAL BEYIVAL OP THE 11AGGIS The most pessimistic mortal in the world would have forgotten and discarded his beliefs, could he have been "present last evening, at the Pittsburg celebration of the one hundred aud thirty-second anniversary of tho birth of Ilobbio Burns, the Scottish bard. At 7 o'clock tbe parlors and corridors df the Hotel Schlosser, the scene of the festiv ity, were thronged with a representative assemblage, composed of prominent and renowned bnsiness and professional men. accompanied by their wives and families. An informal reception, with a notable ab sence of nil conventionality, occupied the time and gave tbe opportunity for warm sincere band clasps nntil the Highland piper, Jamie Johnston, in the typical Highland costume, gave the signal for the banqnet, and with the merry piper as a leader, the immense assemblage of 250 guests filed into the banqueting hall, where au enchanting scene was presented. Four long tables, arrayed in snowv linen and decorated with a profusion of cut flow ers, brilliant lights, and pink-tinted can delabra, were in readiness for the invasion, and were qnickly taken possession of. Well trained waiters lost no time in serving the banquet, and with each additional course, merriment, good cheer and enthusiasm in creased, aided greatly by the stirring Scottish music furnished by Gernert's orchestra, with acceptable interpolations ot American melodies. Tho Ada ent of the Haggis. When the "haggis" was brought in, enthus iasm knew no bounds. Arthur Kirk preceded, the piper playing tbe salute to the national dish, and a commanding waiter bore the pUtter containing it upon his bead. After an address by Mr. Kirk, in which tho haggis" was in vested with all commendable and desirable qualities, the banquet continued, and everyone had an opportunity of testing the merits ot the disb. At 10 o' clock dessert and coffeo were served, after, which a recess of 3U minutes was enjoyed, during which time tho banqueting hall was transformed into an assembly room, with an impromptn platform outlined with luxuriant palms and foliage plants. The piper again made beard his merry note, and without delay tbe company reassembled for the literary programme. President John Young made tbe opening ad dress, after which an overture by the orchestra, "Bonnie Boon." then echoed through the ball, and was swelled by every voice within the room. D. M. Kirk sanz the "March of tbe Cameron Men," and Miss Mcintosh followed w ith "Tho Bloom ot My Ain Native neather." Rev. William J. Reid. D. D.. was next on the Srogramme, and "My Nannie O" was' rendered y D. S. Thompson. Miss Corey sang "Bonnie Jem o' Aberdeen." and Peter Dick gave a reading. "Im-hra." Miss Fraser, in "O, Lay Tby Loot in Mine" concluded part first. An interlude by tbe orchestra was followed by an address by Rev. Alexander MacArtbur, and D. S. Thompson, in melody, declared "A Man's a Man for a' That." Mias Corey, in "O. Charlie Is My Darling," preceded a story told. bv A. Leggate regarding "A Scot in America." Miss Fraser rendered "Dinna Forget." Rev. W. H. McMillan, O. D., made a short address. "The Scottish Blue Bells" was snng by Miss Mcintosh, and after a duet by tbe Mis3es Corey the programme.was concluded with "AuldLang Syne," sung by tbe entiro audience. List of Officers and the Guests. The President of tbe evening was John Young. Vico-Presidents,Rotcrt Pitcairn.James S. McKean, Gavin D. Mackie and J. D. Glover. The programmes formed the souvenirs of tbe event, and wero unusually oretty. with enerav- ings of Burns, the thatched cottage in which he was born, and the monument erected to his memory in his native town. The affair, in its entirety, was. according to Peter Dick, one of tho promoters of it and its predecessors, the most successful ever given.

Suggestion as to How Crowded Streets May Be Made Safe Package Cars Could Be Easily Ran on tho Rapid Transit Lines. Richard Bennett suggested a plan for re lief from the vast number of passing horses and wagons on fhc streets in the lower part of thecity which bave made outdoor lite a burden to tbe aged, and even dangerous to tbe young and sprightly. The old regulation which requires teams to keep 15 feet apart is no longer enforced, and pedestrians bave nolongerany rights that teamsters respect that is, a large number of teamsters at least. Mr. Bennett's plan is to have freight cars run on tho cable and electric roads for package de livery and, in fact, for most kinds of goods. He says switches mightbe put In at intervals where freight depots were needed, and thus the serv ices of thousands of borses dispensed with. These depots would not be far from the resi dence of any person living near the main thor oughfares, aud goods conld be delivered more cheaply than by (be present method. Sanitarians say the health of tbe city would bo much better were there fewer borses in it, as tbe streets would be much cleaner than no. It may astonish some people to hear that while thecity has doubled jo size in ten years, there are no moro horses used in it tban there were in 1880. All manufacturing establishments of any note have railway switch connection, and this saves the services of thousands of borses. The substitution ot electric and cable cars has canseu a decrease of 1,00. and soon nearly all tho lines will dKpenso with horses. Were it otherwise it would be necessary In all territory below tbe Union Station to bave either elevated or subterranean crossings. There is no other city in the country that suffers from this kind of congestion as doe Pittsburg, for no otber of tbe same size has as much freight to handle, and tbe entire wagon traffic converges into less than half a dozen streets, where it seeks outlet to the North and Sonthsides. Wero one-half of these teams taken off. people migbt be ablo to dodge the re mainder and the street cars with comparative safety. Resignation of a Pastor. Rev. Mr. King, of the Oakmont Baptist Church, has resigned his pastorate. It is to take effect April 1. Tho news has created much surprise. Mr. King has been a most suc cessful and popular pastor.
