' X 2 THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 20, 189L , sxsPKsiK PnilMTIMP TUC PflCT I ss&?sodsf tsoKss?-ss QUICK, CLEYER WORK"! THE SIN0F WAR yarns cars were overturned, some being floated oft their wheels, while here and there trucks wero seen standing alone, the cars having been floated anav. On River and South avenues the city authorities had men at work clearing the thoroughfare. Damaged Uie Baseball Arena. Exposition Park was much damaged by the strong current. The fences were swept away, and several frame houses carried doivn to the Allegheny avenue end and there deposited, up side down. The freight trestle at the gas works is badly disDlaced. If it had not been for the line of cars standing on it, it would have been washed away. Several cars loaded with lime were burned, and a good deal of damage was caused to freight in boxcars in the Point bridge yard. Hundreds of tons of lumber lay across the railroad tracks, and the yards presented a very dismal appearance. It v ill bo several dajs before the freight traffic on the Pittsburg and Western west of the Sixth street bridge can bo resumed. Following is an estimate of the damage done to property in this district: James Hunter Lime Works. 13,000. The Porter -Machine Company, $1,000. Harrington Foundry, SoUQ. Chautauqua Ice Compan). 250. Kuwcr t Co., lumber, $1,000. Willes & Co., 5-750. M. ttrilles & Co., West Canal, cigarmaker, fS.000. Fuel Gas and Manufacturing Company, $500; will resume to-day. J. Reillj. grocer.

For some unaccouutable reason Federal, Sandusky and Anderson streets were left al most free from mud by the receding waters yesterday while all the others were covered with flinic This was especially true north of Anderson street, where considerable water still remain". Above the Ninth street bridge is gorged the timber taken from the old bridge together with large quantities of drift from above Kiver avenue at this point is completely blocked. On Robinson. Goodrich, La cock, Grantham and Main streets the mud is almost half a foot deep and mingled with it was carpets, rugs, chairs, groceries, po tatoes, tcruips and all the other dregs of the flood. Here and there was an upturned wagon, and on Robinson street near Scott is part of a bouse that had floated dou n from up above. AH the residents seemed to take their losses cooa naturcdly, and were bard at ork cleaning up furniture and carpets. Every bit of avail able space that could be had nas used to dry wet garments and carpets, and in a number of cases tapestries and rugs hung suspended from the tops of bouses. CLEANING UP HOUSES And Pumping Ont Cellars Affords the Point District Plenty of Occupation. The chiet object of concern now to the resi dents of the Point and river side section of the city is how to get rid of the supcifluous moisture in their cellars as rapidly as possible. Xot much damage was occasioned to property in the Point district, householders having mostly succeeded in moving their furniture in time. The cellars along Penn avenue were still full of water last night Tho Ander son pump kept up its pull at the water in the basement, but tho Duquesne engine soon con cluded its labors. The parquet circle of the theater, which was tilled with water yesterday morning, was crowded with people last night, and Primrose and West's Minstrels warbled their pensive lays as usual. The family matinee, which could nut be given on Wednesday, will be given to-day instead. Manv residents fear that sickness may follow from the deposit of mud left in the cellars, and they are makinc efforts to thoroughly cleanse their basements as fast as the waters recede. At the Point tho poorer people have not this to attend to, but instead are using brush and fresh water to dispose oi the mud deposited on the floors and halluays. Pbjsicians along Penn avenue say there is uo reason to fear any sick-ne- as resulting from the flood except it might be from cold. HOWLING FOB GAS. Freezing Allegheny Residents Complain About the Short Supply. The residents in the flooded districts in Alle gheny were disgruntled at the efforts made by the Allegheny Heating Company to restore the supply of fuel. The gas mains were filled with water, and as a conseqnence the snpply was cut off. Hundreds of families were shiveriug in tbeir cold, wet houses, while on the streets here and there was a solitary man, with a small pump, making a bluff at pumping the water out of the mains. A Robinson street citizen said: "I cannot understand why the companv is so slow in get ting their mains in shape. Every hour that is lott makes the danger to the health of this community more intense, and it is certainly great enough now. In my own home I have a sick wife and I cannot get any fire. The gas has been shut off in all the houses where there are meters, and they tell us it may be two days before we can get it turned on again. I asked one man why they did not put syphons to work on the mains and his reply was that 'it would cost too much." PRAISING THE POLICE. Great Work Done Among the Sufferers by tho Allegheny Authorities. One of the hardest workers during the flood was Alderman E. L. Braun. of the Twelfth ward, who turned in with the police force and put a stop to the "pirate prices" of the skiff owners. In a conversation with him yesterday be said: "Too much praise cannot be given to Mayor Wj man. Chief Murphy and the entire police force for the work they have done in guarding property and relieving suffering." Such seemed to be the sentiment all through the flooded quarters. The immense crowds had been skillfully handled, and among tho officers who deserve great credit are Detective Steele. Lieutenants McNimery and Alexander and Officers Eberhart. Tinime, Livingston and Kelsch, who patroled the city in boats. JOBOAT OCCUPANTS HAPPY. Families Returning to Their Floating Homes as the Flood Subsides. The entire river front from South Thirty fourth street down has resumed its normal con dition, with the exception of the mud left be hind. At Thirtieth street several families, who had been driven from their boats, were busy moving their household goods back to tho boats. The Polish colony, at Twenty-sixth street, was in pretty bad shape, but were gradually getting their boats afloat. At Tuckleyville. at the foot of South Twenty eighth street, the familes have all returned to their boats, and are happy once more. At Robinson, Rea A Co.'s landing several boats were left high and dry, ana will have to await the next flood to be floated off. Railways Getting Into Shape Again. With the exception of those on the Pittsburg and Western, trains are now running about as usual over all the railroads centering in Pitts burg, and passenger traffic, which was con siderably unsettled on account of the flood, has resumed its wonted proportions. A nortion of the Pittsburg and Westers tracks" near the city were damaged by the high water, and passengers arc still transferred to the West Penn a zew miles from the city. Prompt Action of Chief Brown. Tho old fire engines will commence this morning to pump out the cellars of houses whose owners cannot afford to do so them selves. The owners of the Schenley, Denny and other properties will be notified to have the cellars oi houses on tbeir estates pumped tinner the State Board of Health regulations. Chief lirown will take vigorous measures to en foicc this measure. HAS FAITH IN GIBSON. Sew Light Thrown on the Famous Whisky Trust Conspiracy Case. Xelson Morr is and G. F. Swift, of Chicago, were in Pittsburg a short time yesterday on their way West. They are engaged in beef and pork packing in the Windy City. Mr. Morris is evidently a firm friend of Secretary Gibson, of Chicago, whose arrest on a charge of con spiring to blow up the Shufeldt anti-lrust dis tillery caused a sensation of no little magni tude, for he attached his name to the 20,000 bond required for Gibson's release from cus tody, and he emphatically asserts his belief in the latter's innocence. He thinks that he had no incentive to spur him on to do anything like what is charged against him. as lie lias only a small interest in the trust. His trust in Gibson's innocence is not in the least affected by the evidence against him and he thinks that he is the victim of machinations of enemies, and that when tho truth about tho matter is known it will also re sult in the exposure of a conspiracy against the whisky trust. ,,-,,, Mr. Morris said that the McKinley law in jured the export trade of the Chicago packers, and that the industry weuld haTO been better off without the lav. jgg- wiu ?een standing aiouu, tuc tia uiuu wccn I II Ml I III II IMP I 111!

They TVere Kept Bnsy Yesterday Gettinj: the Machinery Heady for Op erations Ajjain. ai,Ij wheels will turn on moxdai. Sene of ike Louts ABorg Liltrty Street Ccmnission Ktrcassb. A complete investigation of the damage done in the mills by the flood proved that the losses estimated in yesterday's Dis patch were none too high. On the con trary, some of the figures did not fully rep resent the loss, and the aggregate damage to furnaces, machinery, and the works in gen eral, will not fail fnr short of $500,000. The employes were peculiarly fortunate. "While the mills were compelled to lay idle, the majority of the men were kept busy cleaning up around the works and getting things in shape to resume operations, thus putting in their time. Of course this made the financial loss all the greater to the firms, but it was easier on the workmen, many of whom had been flooded out of a home, and could ill afford to lose the time besides. Every effort will be made to have all the plants in operation again on Monday next. Some few- started up last night and others will resume to-day. The work oi repairing and cleaning machinery was pushed with wonderful rapidity yesterday. Expect to Start Up Again To-Day. In the majority of the mills the only thing that will delay a resumption beyond to-day will be the water in the flywheel pits and the repairing ot furnaces that were cracked. It was reported yesterday that the now No. 3 furnace of the Isabella plant at Etna had been totally destroyed, but this Droved erroneous, as the whole plant was but little damaged, and part of it was put in operation last night. The loss to machinery In the mills of Car negie, Phipps A Co., will run close to 510,000. All the employes were engaged getting the mud removed jesterday morning, and by 12 o'clock tho puddling department was nearly ready to operate. Several of them were Bred last evening, and it is thought both plauts will be in operation to-day. Four hammers were at work in the lower mills in the afternoon. The loss to the Kejstnne Bridge Works will probably not exceed $3,000, and they will be running to-dav. It now lks as if Shoenberger & Co.'s loss will reach $25,000. The nuddling departments were still under water last eight, and the nail machines were rusty and covered with mud. It is feared some of these will have to be replaced. Armstrong Bros. fc Co.. cork manufacturers, will sustain a loss of S5.000, confined chiefly to boilers and machinery. They will not resume until Monday. Furnaces Damaged by the 'Water. A number of furnaces in the Malleable Iron Works of McConway, Torley fc Co., wero dam aged. Loss about 4,000. Tho loss to Zug it Co.'s plant Is between $5,000 and 510, OCT, and the Crescent Steel Works are damaged to nearly tho same extent. As stated yesterday, these damages are confined principally to the furnaces, which cracked by the water coming in contact with them while they were yet in a heated condition. Where furnaces aro to be replaced tbe delay in gcttiug started up again will extend over the remainder of the week, and in some cases until Monday. The Oliver Iron and Steel Company's works are running full time, very little damago hav ing been done by the water. A portiou ot A. M. Byers & Co.'s pipe mill is running; the bal ance will go on on Monday. At Dilworth, Porter 4 Co.'s tho water has receded entirely. They will be in shape for work Tuesday. The report that ions uf their heating furnaces were destroyed by water get ting in before they had cooled off is denied. They were expecting tbe high water, and had tbe tires drawn in time for the furnaces to cool oil before the water reached them. The South Pittsburg Planing Mill was not damaged except by tbe inconvenience and a few piles of lumber being overturned. Atter bury Co. suffered less than from any pre vious flood. They had men working night and day removing their goods to a place of safety. Diluted and Spoiled the Chemicals. Abel, Smith & Co. suffered some loss by their chemical room being flooded before tho goods could be removed. Singer, Nimick & Co. and J. Painter's Sons & Co., whils each sustaining a loss ot 3,000 to $5,000 each were able to resume yesterday. Betiz Bros., the lumber dealers suffered a heavy loss. Their yard at the foot of South Thirteenth street was flooded before the lum ber could be secured, and several piles of their best stock floated away. Three lumber firms in the- lower part of Sharpsburg lost a large amount of material. All day yesterday a force of employes was kept busy trying to recover and identify part of the lost stock which had floated several squares away from the yard. The mills of Lindsay & McCutcheon and the La Bell Steel Works in Allegheny, were damaged about 11,000 each. Both firms expect to resnme to-day. Neither of the mills in Woods' Run will get started before Monday. Tbe water is still in the furnaces of theso estab lishments, and the loss cannot yet bo placed definitely. commissiotTmen suffer. Liberty Street Merchants Aro Out In Vari ous Amounts Tlnie and Money Spent in Itcmovlng Goods and Cleaning Up Some of the Losses. Aside from the "demnition moist" condi dition of cellars, there is very little damage done on Liberty street, that is comparatively speaking. It was said that Boehtaer & Co. bad lost near J2.O00. butlthey deny it absolutely and say their loss is confined to tbe expense of removing goods and cleaning out. Heports were as follows: L. H. Volgt & Co.. f200. Srobie Parker, 5100 or less. W. Scott & Co. and S. iluck, cost of remov ing goods and cleaning out John Hall, Jr.. A Co., between 400 and S500. John Duster, some oysters and produce afloat; damago about 200. John Henkle, cost of moving good's. Daub A Bros., cost of moving goods. T. C. Jenkins, saved by a steam pump. John Fite and L. T. Dallmeyer, cost of re moval and cleaning out. J. P. Hanna, cost of repacking some pork. G. V. Vangorder, loss J500. Frank Wilbert. some soaked rutabagas anda lot of egg cases destroyed. Kirkpatrick A Co., all perishable geods re moved beforo the water got in. Baxter A Kenton, not over S100 loss. Berhorst A Fichtel, some fish soaked in their natural element. Iron City Produce Company, all goods re moved in time. C. W. A Albert Wilbert, los, 500. Henry B. Rea. estimates himself a winner on accouut of some soaked potatoes, to which water adds weight. Williams A Bulger, loss 501 Koenig A Schmidt. 100. Strons A McAteer, some soaked sweltzer kase. E. H. Meyers A Co., forewarned and fore armed. Haworth A DewbuTst. a large stock of gro ceries saturated on which tbe loss could not be estimated. Schocnck A Sou, main loss delay to business. N. J. Braden, ill goods removed in time. Myers A Tate, only damaged by freight blockade. Just across thn street from N. J. Braden's filace, Arbnckle A Co.'s cellar was a! dry as a iniekiln, and they saved enough in 24 hours to pav for tbe making of their cellar water-tight. While some physicians are on record as say ing that the washout is sanitary rather than otherwise, the majority of people in tbe flooded district propose to distribute stone lime in tbeir cellars, convinced that, while tbe slaking will have a drying effect, the fumigating will do good rather than harm in any event. There was more or less damago done at inter vals out as far as the fork of Penn avenue and Butler street. Charles Goldbeck gave employ ment to all the unemployed men in that neigh borhood in removing his stock, aud only the skeptics who thought they had seen as big showers betore suffered. Pumping Ont Poor People's Cellars. A special meeting of the Allgeheny Fire Com mittee was held last night, at which it was de cided to order two engine to the flvodtd (IN A BATTLEJN SKIFFS. Rowdies Attempt to Rescue a Prisoner From a Patrol Boat Oars Wero Used as Weapons in the Affray Only One of Them Captured. Among the most unique features of the flood in Allegheny yesterday was an ex citing hand-to-hand fight between several I officers in a boat and a gang who attempted '.,.-..... , r, . . .. : .w.cauuea prisoner, mo oiuieia no vic torious, however, but only one of the attacking party was captured. Early yesterday morning William F. Mack created a disturbance in the residence of James Mackey on South avenue. An information was made before Alderman Brown, and Con stable David Holmes took a skiff and went to make the arrest. After a struggle Mack was gotten into the boat, but before they had pro ceeded any distance a party of Mack's friends in another boat attempted a rescue. The rescue party first attempted to run down the officer's boat but falling in this they pulled up close beside and commenced a hand to hand fight. The officers beat them off with their oars. Tho samo weapons were used on the other side. For fully 15 miuutes they fought in this manner while the light skiffs swung from side to side and it seemed every minute as if both would bo capsized. A man named Angstein, who was the leader of the crowd, finally jumped clear into the of ficers' boat. Ho grappled with tbe constable and the two rolled into the bottom of the boat. It was then that the officer's blackjack came into plav and Angstein gave up. When his associates saw the turn affairs had taken they quickly withdrew, and tho officers safely landed their prisoners. Angstein has a charge of interfering with an ofllcer lodged against him. GOING TO KEEP LENT. Collins Enters Upon a Thirty-Day Fast Be fore a Crowd. At precisely 10 o'clock last evening Elmer A. Collies began his self-imposed fast of 30 days in Harry Davis' Fifth Avenne Museum. A large crowd assembled to witness the open ing of this unusual experiment, the curio ball being filled to its utmost capacity. Collins had his last innal, before entering upon bis fast, at 9:50 o'clock 1'. jr. Itconsistedof a small bowl of clam chowder, a cup of tea and one piece of brown bread. In spite of the inquisitive eyes of the audience, tho faster seemed to find pleasure In his meal, which was concluded be tore 10 o'clock. A slight hitch aroso in the arrangement when Dr. F. J. McDonald, the surgeon appointed by Mr. Davis, to supervise tho fast, and tbe four students of the Pennsylvania Medical College, objected to the regime adopted by tho faster. Collins had elected to take one teaspoonful of cod liver oil to one drop of turpentine three times every 24 hours. To this the medical at tendants objected, claiming that tbe cod liver oil was food, and therefore against tho regula tions prescribed hy the fast. After some dis cussion the arguments of Dr. McDonald were agreed to, and it was decided that the faster should tako nothing but turpentinu and plain water, the latter, however, to be brought from the West Penn Hospital filter. On this agree ment Collins started upon bis adventure. At the inauguration were present on behalf of the Pennsylvania Medical college, Messrs. R. C. Milligan. J. K. Sterrett, J. L. Hess and J. B. Armstrong. Dr. F. J. McDonald was pres ent on behalf of Harry Davis' Museum; and Chief Brown had disnatched the special police surgeon to witness proceedings on the part of the Department of Public Safety. At 10 p. M. Collins' weight was 138 pounds His pulse 101; and temperature 98 degrees. His height is 5 feet Scinches; chest ireasurcment. S4V2' Inches, and his waist measurement, 3S inches. The skin and tongue were noi mal; the respiration 17. A representative of the Pennsylvania Medical College, and a Dispatch reporter will watch Collins until 5 A. 31., when they will be succeeded by another medical student and newspaper man, all ot whom have taken tho oath to carefully note everv incident of the fast. Collins is 20 years of age. Driven From Ills Joboat ITome. William Klaun and Michael Bozinski lived In a joboat at the foot of South Twcnty.fifth street, which was left on the river bank by the recent high water. Yesterday afternoon Lind say O'Conner, manager of the Republic Iron Works, with a gang of men removed all the household goods from tbe boat and attached a lino to it from tho steamer Robert Jenkins, which pulled it off into the river. In doing so the boat was so damaged that it sank. Klaun sought tho advice of Alderman C. E. Succop, who will look the matter up and see what he can do for him. Runaway Southsldo Girls in Fremont Jail Katie Steplein and Annie McGuire the two 13-year-old girls who suddenly loft tbeir homes on tbe Southsidc, are in the lockup at Fre mont, O., where they were picked up by the police. Mrs. Steplein has received a telegram from Mayor Smith, of Fremont, saying that the girls will be held until Saturday and if no one got there to claim them they will be re leased from further imprisonment. An Officer Badly Beaten. Police Ofllcer J. P. Brennan entered a cbargo of aggravated assault and battery against Richard Davison yesterday. Davison and others wcte fighting at Hazelwood at about 1 A.

A TWENTI-F0U11 H0DRS' BUNT. Brilliant Mores Which Drew tho Criminals Into the Hushes. ONE MAN P0DND DNDBK A FEATHER BED Two probable murders, in which a large Dumber of people were implicated, tested the efficiency of thepolice force in the First district yesterday, and it was equal to the test. Al'l but four of the criminals are now behind the bars, and a number of them are being held as witnesses. Both cases were worked in a perfect manner, and Inspector McAleese and the city detectives deserve the greatest credit. A few minutes before 11 o'clock Wednes day night four Irishmen were attacked by a half dozen negroes on Fenn avenue, near Twenty-ninth street, an account of which appeared in The Dispatch yesterday. John Reams was the first man attacked. Then he was joined by Daniel Guiney and John McAulifi'. The colored men were beaten back for a moment and then a shot was heard. The negroes fled, and the bleed ing form of Daniel Guiney was picked up from the sidewalk. A ball from a 32-caliber revolver had entered his left temple. He was supposed to be dying, and was at once removed to the WestPenu Hospital; but up to a late hour last night life was not extinct, although death is expected at any moment. Detectives Take Up the Chase at Once. While the wounded man was being taken to the hospital Detectives Bendel and Coul son were returning from an official visit to that institution. The carriage was dis missed at tho foot of Twenty-eighth street, and Detective Coulson took a car into tbe city. De tective Bendel was still waiting there when Ofllcer Bagley told him of the supposed mur der. The detective hurried up Penn avenue to tbe scene of tho shooting, at Anlbecker's bill iard room, near Twenty-seventh street. There he found four colored men. and ordered them under arrest. Tbey were taken to the Twelfth ward station house. Detective Bendel accom panying them. There he found Inspector Mc Aleese, who had been notified of the affair and was already arranging plans for tbe capture of tbe men who did tho shooting. The negroes were scared by the arrest, and gave the name of a colored man named Adams, on Thirtieth street. Detective Bendel started out, and soon had the man nnder arrest. From him was learned the names of the six men who wero engaged in tbe fight. Inspector McAleese at once sent tbe de scription and the names of the men to the cen tral office in City Hall, and inside ot half an hour every officer in tbe city was on the watch for the men. Before midnight the Inspector and Detective Bendel were joined by Detective Sol Coulson and Captain Dan Silvls. Hunting in tho Darkness. The four men, aided by the regular patrol, kept up a, watch for tbe men all night along Penn avenue, and eight or ten colored men were landed in tbe Twelfth ward station on suspicion. From each one some scrap of in formation was learned, and one of the men proved to be Frank Dutch, one of the assail ants of Daniel Guiney. In the meantime Detectives Mulvehlll. Paddy Fitzgerald, John McTighe, Robinson and Lientenanc Denniston had joined in tbe chase. At 6 o'clock they found Smith and Richard Beale, two of tbe men. in their boarding hnuso at No. 85 Clark street. Soon after Charles Ross was taken. There was a chance that Henry Freeman had gone to Washington county or some of the small towns alofg the Panhandle road in Western Pennsylvania. Detective McTigho and Lieutenant Denniston were sent to Mans field early in the morning, and later Detective Bendel and Officer Mulvehlll went to McDon ald station, Washington county. Tbey wera armed with memorandum books, and repre sented themselves as "supplementary census" takers. Having reason to believe that sev eral men wero also on the tram to warn the criminals of the approach of tbe de tectives, tho latter by a clever ruse dropped off the train at Mansfield. The men, followed by tbe detectives, had mado a detour, and when the train pulled out tbey were on tbe engine. Tbey made a complete search of tbe Nickel Plate and the other mines at McDonald and Willow Grove, but tho men were not to be found. Found Under a Feather Bed. Meanwhile the officers were at work in tbe city, and at 5:30 they found a clew. Detectives Fitzgerald and Ronlnson and Officers Smothers and Cole started out and found Henry Free man at the house of his mother-in-law on Stockholm street. He had hidden under a feather bed, but the officers sat on it until the man moved, and so discovered him. He was taken to Central station, where, at 9 o'clock, he. with Richard and Smith Beal and Frank Dutch were identified as members of the attacking party, Charles Ross and William Freeman were held as wit nesses and also to prevent their spiriting away the two other men for whom tbe police are searching. All theothers except tbe four were discharged. The other case was that of John Hines, who was assaulted in a free fight on Seventeenth street, Wednesday evening. Hines is not ex- fiected to recover. The arrests were all made a the vicinity ot tbe fight by a sqnad of officers nnder Captain Dan Silvls. As a result of this effort John Friel. John Kirby, William McGil lick, David Thomas and James Packer were committed to jail in default of $1,000 bail each, last evening, by Magistrate McKcnna, for a hearing Thursday, on a charge of felonious as sault and battery. There are still two men to be captnred for taking part In this fight. VALUE OF A SHEEnFFS DEED. The Othor Side of Litigation In the Rattigan Meehan Estate. The narrative of tho litigation regarding the Rattigan-Mechan property, on the corner of Grant street and Virgin alley, in Sunday's Dis, TATCII, has drawn the fire of James Rattigan of the TrcasuryDepartment, Washington, D. C. Mr. Rattigan says: A friend of my mother, Mrs. Anne Rattigan, bought the Grant street property at Sheriff's sale, paid the pdrchasc money, and it was distributed among the cred itors of Rattigan & Cunningham. Six months thereafter the lower court of Allegheny county, on motion of John Coyle. Esq., made an order sotting the deed aside. My mother's lawyer, John Barton, Esq- then carried the case" to the Supreme Court. The question was, had the Common Pleas Court jurisdiction in setting aside the Sheriff's deed, six months after the distribution of the funds? "In the Supreme Court Judge Woodward said: This case is a plain one. The Common Pleas Court of Allegheny transcended its power, but,' he added, 'why is Mrs. Rattigan coming here? Has she lost anything? When theso people dispossess her then let her come to this court.' "At this time she is dispossessed, and wo want the Supreme Court to reinstate her in her rights.'' WANT A YOUNG JUDGE. Henry A. Davis Suggested for One of tho Poiitlous to Be Created. A large number of young lawyers have come to the conclusion that young men make better material forjudges than old ones, and as there is talk of establishing a new court, they have been hobnobbing, and it seems havo about de cided to push Attorney Henry A. Davis for the position. One man among those interested sas-s that men advanced In years are apt to grow too dictatorial to be pleasant companions in court, no matter how affable they may be off tbe bench. As might be expected, these men do not Dring this phase ot tho matter into the fore ground when discussing it, but that is tho real reason, and the writer does not altogether evolve it from his inner consciousness. A VETERAN'S SAD B0MANCE. His Wife Deserted Him a Few Hours' After tho Wedding. Thomas Landlay, an old soldier, appliod for lodging at tbe Twenty-eighth ward station last night.

Jay Cooke, Jr., of Philadelphia, a son of the once-famous financier, is in the city and is stopping at the Duquesne. He is accom panied by his wife, a niece Of J. K. Moor bead. He had just finished dining last evening when a D ispatcii reporter accosted him. B"No," said he. "my visit here has no business significance whatever. My wife and I are here for the purpose of attending the funeral of Mrs. McCleane, who was drowned at Cincin nati. She was a cousin of my wife, who is a daughter of J. P. Moorhead, of Philadelphia, a brother of M. K. Moorhead. Yes, tho death was a very sad one. We wero in New York, where I havo some iron interests and where we intended staying a few days, when we rcceired the telegram announcing Mrs. McCleane's death, and I immediately dropped everything and we came on to Pittsburg. "How is my father?" said Mr. Cooke. "Ob, he is well, only lie' is getting a littlo old. Is ho in active business? Y'es and no. He lives at Ogontz,about eight mlles;fromPbiladelphia,and comes into tbe city every day, and spends about an hoar and then returns. Ho spends a great deal of his time fishing, but doesn't go after as big fish as does Senator Quay, who strikes lor tarpon. There is winter flounder fishing down along tbe coast that he enjoys, and then e have abont 2,000 acres of land above Will iamsport, which is a sort of preserve, where tho trout fishing is excellent. lie generally spends a short time each fall and spring at Gibralter. an island we own in Put-in-Bay. Lake Erie, and ho passes through Pittsburg four times a year en route there, but is only in the city a short time while ho changes cars. I wish you could talk to him; he could give you some interesting pointers. I have often wished that he would write a financial history of the rebellion. He certainlv ennlil talk interestingly about the 5-20 and T'-SO bonds." The speaker smiled and continued: "I re ceived subscriptions on those bonds myself for three months, although I was but 17 oars of age at the time. That was in 1S63. I then went out with the emergency men andpasscd my 18th birthday In tho fiela. I remember once General Moorhead, of Fittsbnrg. myself and several others, went down to City Point from Philadelphia in a Government dispatch boat. Before leaving I asked father, thinking per haps I might meet General Grant.if he had any word to send, and he said: Tell General Grant to push the lighting and we will furnish the money.' "We arrived at City Point at an early hour in tho morning, and at 4:30 1 was walking along the wharf, the only man of our party who was up. It was not long before I saw a man with a steeple-crown hat and enveloped in an oilcloth coat, approaching. He had a cigar in his mouth. The sentries saluted, and be proved to be General Grant. He inquired about my father, and I delivered his message. He looked at me squarely for a few moments and then said: 'Tell your father that he Is doing more than all the Generals in the field, for we could not fight if we had no money.' "I don't think Grant would have said that if he hadn't meant it." concluded the speaker. Mr. Cooko is affable, good looking, portly, and neatly trimmed reddish-brown whiskers adorn his handsome face. VISITING INDIANS DISGUSTED. Hostile Two Strike Oppressively Lionized, While Friendlier Are Ignored. Chicago, Feb. 19. The band of Sioux who arrived here Tuesday on their return journey from Washington to Pine Ridge, left for their destination last night. Beforo leaving, Amer ican Horse said: "I signed the Sioux reserva tion ceding treaty, but when I saw how the mouths of my people were closed in Washing ton, I told the little chief Noble that I would be no longer a leader of my people, bnt would mingle with them as a warrior in tbe ranks rather than lift my voice again on behalf of tho white man." Louis Prlmeau.of tbe Standing Rock Agency, and one of the interpreters with the party, said: "In view of this last visit and tbe excite ment of last fall, I know and I am no alarmist that in tho spring there will be trouble. At Horticultural Hall In Philadelphia, where crowds were present to see the Indians, tbo only chief that received marked attention was Two Strike, who is hostile, and has always been hostile. The people crowded around him, shook his band, showered cigarettes on him and made the old fellow woary with demands for a sneeoh. Tho men who have stood by tbe Government for years saw this and knew that tbey were ignored because they were friecdlies. The effect was bad. They sneak of it to-day among themselves, and wonder why the whites show no appreciation of the men who have practically ostracized themselves from tbeir kindred for tho good of the whites and what they believed was tor tbe good of their own race. I honestly believe' that tho attention shown tbe actual 'hostiles In the East to the ignoring of the friendlies will work as much harm as the little attention shown to both bodies by tbe officials at Washington. Neither friendly nor hostile is satisfied by his treat ment." CLEVELAND STB0NG IN TEXAS. BIcKlnlej's Tariff ItenefltingBuslness in the Lone Stur State. R. M.

A statement was made three weeks ago to the effect that tho wife and family of William Green, who lives at Woods' Run, had arrived herefrom West Hartlepool, England, via New Y'ork, and, being penniless, had to be taken care of. Mr. Green said yesterday that the re port was misleading. Ills family did not arrive from New York, but from Philadelphia, that he had paid their faro from that city and that he had a home for them on their arrival.

NOT WHAT IS WANTED Employes' Officials Get Ho Encourage ment From Manager Wood. GOIXG OYER THE GKIEVAXCES. Tho Frospeets Are Good for aa Early Ad vance in Window Glass. MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS The long and tedious conference between the employes officials and Manager Wood, of the Pennsylvania hues west of Pittsburg, began yesterday in the latter's office. The men were represented by Messrs. Sargent, Howard and Sweeney, of the Supreme Conncil of tbe Federation and the leading' members of the General Grievance Commit tee. The entire day was consumed in the con ference, and the demands of the engineers and firemen were passed over. Mr. "Wood was told that the men could not recognize his reply to their demands, and that the conference would have to get down to deal ing with facts. On the other hand, Mr. Wood stated very positively that when the wages of the men were adjusted in 1888 they were understood to be generally satisfactory to the men, and although they had been very burdensome in" some respects to the company and its inter ests, they had been carried out in good faith, and for that reason no advance would be granted at this time. Willing to Grant Some Demands. Mr. Wood said he was willing to grant some of the 168 demands, that did not carry with them an increase in wages. In no particular, however, was he willing to give encouragement to the men in any depart ment that an increase would be allowed. He will meet the conductors this morning at 10 o'clock, and it is supposed that all tho grievances of the men will be gone over by to morrow, and on Monday a joint conference with all the officials will be beld for the pur pose of arriving at definite conclusions. A leading member or the General Grievance Committee said last night: "We are not making tho progress we expected to. In other words, we are not getting from Mr. Wood what we want. He says none of us wili be given more ?ay. Well, we are not here to make any bluffs, ho matter is passing through tho course pre scribed by tho constitutions ot our various organizations, and until it arrives at a certain point w are not in a position to say what our next course will be. 1 can say, however, with as much firmness as Mr. Wood uses In savin? there will be no advance granted, that we will not leave Pittsburg until the men are assured more pay in some of tbo branches. Of course, wo will be willing to make some concession. If a tie-up comes tho entire line from Jersey Citv to Chicago, with all branches, will be included." Will Go to the Supreme Council. An effort was made last night to see the em ployes' officials, who are secretly quartered at the Seventh Avenue Hotel, but they are very In geniously avoiding the reporters. It was learned, however, that as soon as the matter has passed through the hands of tbe conferees, it will bo taken in charge by tne Supreme Council, whose decision will be final; and the heads of tbe other organizations, who aro in the city, having pledged the support of their men, will stand up for whatever action the council takes. It wonld be difficult to find a more Intelligent or representative bodv of railroad employes than the one which composes the General Grievance Committee. There arc 104 of them, all quartered at the St. Charles Hotel. They are a quiet lot of men, whose general demeanor indicates a freedom lrom many of the habits common to some railroad employes. IN THE HANDS OF THE BOABD. United Mine Workers' Offlclnls Take Up the Connellsvillo Strike. Tbe Executive Board of the United Mine Workers will meet to-day to decide on tbe strike. It is probable that they will niako pro visions for a long struggle. The coke worker's delegation, including Master Workman Wise, Secretary Parker, and the Scale Committee, returned from Columbus yesterday and con trary to expectations, no overtures were mado to operator tor a conference to abridge the nresent difficulties. Secretary Barret of the Miners' Scale Committee remarked that during tbe strike tbey would not endeavor to secure a conference, and that the operators would have to lead off in tho effort to confer. A number of coke superintendents met yes terday, but the result of the meeting could not be learned. A DENIAL FEOM THE COMPANY. It Is Claimed Now That No Glass Workers Arrived at Charleroi. It is denied now by officials of the Charleroi Plate Glass Works that any Belgian or English glass workers have arrived to work in tbe new works at Charleroi. It is not expected that operations can be commenced beforo May 1, and the company would bo using poor judg ment, indeed, to keep men in idleness for nearly three months. They deny any knowledge of tho alleged Importation, and are perfectly willing to have any investigation made that any one desires to make. There has been some delay in tbe construction of a lot of the machinery to be used that will postpone onerations at least six weeks later than was expected. W0BKING AT STETJBENVILLE. More of the Skilled Workmen Taken Away From Corning & Co. The manufacture of incandescent electric light globes has been commenced at Steuben ville. thero being two shops ou tbeir work at the Acme and two at the bottlo works. The Corning factory was employed on their work, bnt tbo men strnck against a heavy reduction of wages and for the recognition of their union. The American Flint Glass Workers' Union, of which the globe blowers were members.took the matter In hand with a view or giving em ployment to tbe strikers, and to this end they were taken to Steubenville. The work is a new industry there as well as at many other places where Corning workers have secured employ ment. CAUSING A SHOBTAGE. Heavy Weekly Reduction in the Surplus Stock or Window Glass. Tbe shnt-down of nearly 400 pots and the poor business of a largo number of other fur naces has, it is claimed, caused a shortage or displacement of nearly 40,000 boxes of window glass weekly. The shortage will have a favorable effect on tbe market, as neither manufacturers nor job bers have much stock on hand now. It is ?uietly rumored that tho manufacturers whose actorles are closed will not start up again until they can revive their combination. Then, when prices go up, as tbey aro bound to do, they will be able to bold them up. His Union Will Bury Him.

GBANTTE STATE SUFFEBEBS May Yet Get Some of Their Money Refunded to Them. George Percival Stewart, Vice President of the Granite State Building and Loan Associa tion, waived a hearing before Magistrate Gripp yesterday afternoon, and gave $I,eOO bail for court trial. James W. Drape furnished tbe ball bond. Speaking of tbo case last night, Detective Shore said: "I will be surprised if Stewart appears when tho trial opens. I think tbe bail was not fixed high enough. From what I have learned of these people, Eggleston and Stewart, I believe they represent tbe whole so-called G ranite State Association, and the other officers they name m thoir literature are myths. Tbey have offered to settle with tbeir victims here abouts, but it is only done in order to secure the release of Eggleston, who is held in default of J5.000 ball. There are. as near as I can judge, about 200 persons within a radius of 30 miles of Pittsburg who have taken stock in this fraud, and the amount tbey have invested will aggregate about 311,000. It is remarkable, too, how silly some ot these people are. Yon can't drive into them the fact that they have been duped. Inside of a week several of them have gone to the bank where tbe Granite State bad their collections made, and offered to make payments. I had notified tbe bank, however, not to receive any money, but the way these Granite State fellows worked that bank is evi dence of their style of business. Why, two hours after their agents here were arrested, the bank was telegraphed to send all money in their bands to tbe "homeoflice" InNew Hamp shire. I bad been there before the telegrams arrived, and ordered the bank to pay out none of this money. Tho bank people were very willing to help us, and tbey still bold the whole amount on hand, &bout 81,800. which will be paid out as the court directs. We are hearing of more victims every day, and they will be lncky if they all get their money back." Oleo Dealers Summoned. Fifty more dealers in oleomargarino have been summoned to appear before Alderman Brinker to answer to a charge ot selling in violation ot the law. The prosecution is Deing pressed by an agent of tbe Farmers' and Dairy men's Association of Philadelphia. Remember the Wrapper Sale.
