The president of the company has yet to be selected, and it is just possible Mr. Kowand may be elected, thus stepping into Mr. 'ty'est inghouse's shoes. Ofthonew board the three Bostonians are ell known men, while Henry C. Terr-, of I'hiladelpbia. is reported as being a connection of Mr. Rowand's. and O. P. Shine is superintendent of the East End Klec tnc Light Company. A. T. Kowand is secretary of the Westinghousc Electric Company. Mr. Wbdsworth, a lawyer from Philadelphia, who acted as one of the three judges of elec tion, expressed the opinion later in the evening that Mr. Kowand had amplo power for the course he pursued: that the election was con ducted in a perfectly legal manner, and that, in his opinion, it would be so held by a court of law. EVA BLOCH BURIED. Ko Name Marked Her Coffin, Nor Were the Kites of the Church rronounced A Dp tective Thinks Her 1'ather Is Not a Wealthy Man. In a pretty, dart wood casket, with noth ing but tbe words "At llest" to mark it, the remains of beautiful Eva Blocb, who hanged herself at the Union station last Friday morn ins, were consigned to the grave in St. Mary's Cemetery yesterday morning. At the time an nounced for the funeral the morgue was filled with sympathizing Poles, and several well known ladies were present. One woman placed three white roses on the poor girl's bosom. There was neither priest nor preacher to pro nounce tbe last rites of the ch urch or say a few words of advice and consolation to the bearers. Jonn Jasieniecki. Patrick O'Connor, C A. benufert and John Kulikowski acted as pall bearers, Mr. Jasieniecki has borne tbe burden of tbe funeral expenses Ue has received no reply to tne cablegram which ho sent to her supposed father in Warsaw, and the mystery burrounriing Eva is as deep as ever. "I don't believe the father of the Polish girl is a railroad president or a Warsaw town offi cial." remarked a well-known railroad official as no watched the funeral leave the morgue. "If be is snch a prominent man. why doesn't he answer the telegrams sent him?" The girl's dress might indicate that she wasot nealtby parentage, but it Is not an In fallible guide. Nothing has been said of tbe underw ear. which is always the surest test in snch cases. A lady well tired or rich, always wears the finest undergarments, and I am in clined to believe that she belonged to the poorer elates of the Poles, which makes the mystery surrounding her none tbe less inter esting. "Tais case gives reporters a great opportunity to exercise their wits, but tbo latest explana tion from an alleged Chicaco real estate man who registers at a local hotel as from Warsaw, and claiming ic know all about the girl's fam ily is tbe most amusing and fictitious. Uis name does not appear in the Uhicage direc tory." SuiciPE RAMPANT. Two Men Ended Their Existence Tester day One by Poison, the Other With a Bullet Through the Heart An Aged Pensioner's Rash Act. A suicidal wave seems to be rolling over the city. Within the past five days four persons have taken their lives. Two added their names to the death roll yesterday. John Schmidt, anont 0 years old and a basket maker by trade, ended his life last night by taking a dose of arsenic in his room in the Bjsmarck Hotel, 26 Chestnut street. Al legheny. Schmidt is a veteran of the late war, and lives near Harniarville. Cutler county. On Saturday last be came to tlie city, as was his custom, to draw his pension After securing the money Schmidt drank somewhat, but got over his plee, and for the past two days has been sober and in good spirits. About 0 o'clock last night he took a walk, and return in? to the hotel, said he was going home on the 20:30 tram and that he would go to his room and take a rest. leaving orders to be called at 1) o'clock. At that time ouo of tbe boarders went to call Schmidt, and found him dead in bed with a bottle of poison at bis side. A physician was called, but ould do nothing, as the man had been dead for s-rne time. The body was removed to Herman fc Ebbert's un dertaking rooms, and the Coroner notified. The deceased was a widower and has no chil dren. Richard Tinney shot himself through the heart early veueiday morning at his brother's home in Hazslwood. A short time ago he was compelled to giveup a job in a foundry on ac count of ill health. He was depressed during the da-, but when he l cured at night he ap peared to be in good spirits. It is supposed he got worse during tLe night, and took his lifo while temporarily demented. ISVESTIHG TEE SINKING FUST). Controller Morrow Shows That Nearly a Third of the Money Is Idle.

A Toons: Lady Kissed a Beautiful St. Ber nard, Because of tbe Story of a Kescnc From Death. NOTES ABODT SOME OP THE FI5E DOGS. The Wcxk of Awarding Trxa Begin ly tie Judge Yecterliy ArUrnwn. HERE was no ne cessity lor a sign at the Grand Central Bink yesterday to tell that a dog show was in progress there. A chorus of howls and barks emanated from the place which might he calculated to ..'make a deaf man ! happy because he couldn't hear. The basso profundo ot the St. Bernard and the tenor of the fox bound intermingled with the soprano of the terrier and the alto of the pug, making one srrand inharmonious choir of unwritten music From early morn to late at night the untiring soloists kept at their work in noisy competition, and no one who has never visited a room in which are confined several hundred canines can imagine the numDer of barks that can be crowded into a small amount of harbor room. Amusement Not on the Programme. An immense crowd was in attendance all day, and many incidents not programmed furnished amusement for a large crowd who happened to be near and not be actors in the scenes. Some of the dogs did not feel well alter a long trip from some other city totho show and were slightly inclined to be"snappisb." One ot the uuis wulch wore woe-begone ex pression of countenance, about the only ex pression ever worn by a pug, attracted the Sympathy for the Homesick J'ug. attention of a little child who tookit upon itself to soothe the "little dog that wants its mama." The dog took kindly to his now fonnd friend and soon looked as happy as an old dude with a new mash. The young and handsome ladles seemed to like best the large digs the mastiffs and St. Bernards, and as the majority of them hung arouna that section of the room, it was almost impassable, the young men also taking a well developed fancy to the St. Bernard, and they knew lots of stories abou- men being rescued from storms by the aid of one of these big, handsome dogs. A voung lady was care lessly fondling the Deautiful smooth-coated St. Bernard, Keystone Mars, a first prize winner, when a young man standing by volunteered to tell the story of a wonderful rescue made by that dog in the Allegheny Mountains one day last winter. A Woman Always Lores a Hero. Of course, the lady was glad to hear It and the young gallant ptoceeded to detail how the dog's keeper disappeared during a big snow storm and how the dog was turned loose to find him. According to the story Mars found his keeper almost frozen to death, stuck in a snow drift a mile from borne and proceeded to drag him the entire distance, landing bini safely in the house. This caught the young lad v' love of heroism and to the utter astorishn.cnt of the bystanders, she put her arms arnnnd tl e dog's neck and exclaiming: 'Oh you dear, good old doggie," gave hiin such a kiss as to turn the green-eyed monster of envy loose in the crowd of young men. i he little folks surrounded tbo pugs, spaniels and other small dogs, but, perhaps, the most interesting groap could be found in the neigh borhood of the bull dog quarters. Hero and there could be found two or three men earnestly discusng the points of this dog or that one "in the pit." One was called an "under lighter," and the style of execution of each of tbe brutes was exhaustively discussed by these fellows, who may have been"lo:tle hold-rs" for terriers 111 god barn hattles .11 the Ruiks, or in tome other favor.to snot in 'be viciin of Pittsbnrg Dog shows are becoming more popular than over anticipated, lhat winch opened yester day will in all respects tend to increase the popular taste for such exhibitions for it j? x.1, : r , vl-VA - lL-SS iJm & &i -S-J5" Rewarded or Hi Hciolsm. is tbe best bench show that has ever been held in this city both in number and qualitv nf dogs, and also in tbo matter ol attendance. 'Without donbt the Duqucsne Kennel Club's inaugural event will long be remembered by tbe thou sands of people who visited it yesterday. It seems as if dog shows have come in the form of a spring circuit this year. New York and Baltimore shows have just been held. Pittsburg now has the field, and Lynn, Boston, Chicago and Cleveland will follow in tbe order named. This certainly goes to prove tbat these shows aro doing much Toward tho improve ment nf the different breeds as compared with a few years ago. About a decade ago the principal show of the United States had only about a dozen speci mens, and only moderate at that of the St, Ber nard, bnt now the number is ten times greater. Tbe dogs of this class exhibited at the local show by Messrs. Sears and Moore are magnifi cent, and anybody who at all finds pleasure in looking at tbo very best snecimens of does should not miss tbe opportunity of seeing the famous Melrose and M yomlng kennels. Some of the Great St. Bernards. Of course, the large crowds that visited yes terday's show rnsbed to see tho great Sir Bcdivere. lie is a fine and good natured animal. But Mr. Moore has some very rare and splendid St. Bernards in Ben Lomond, Alton and Lady; Livingston, all prize winners, as the appended aw'arus will show.

But the latter defuated Lady Sneenvell .yesterday, although Plevna ha recently been beaten by Lady Sneerwell.' All, the big dogs were good and Mr. Mortimer, the genial and able judge of them, was highly pleased with the specimens he bad to deal with. There was one feature worthy of notice among the St. Bernards. Meinrad, a dog that was awarded first prize at the last show here, was not considered good enough for a prize ot & (1 1' 1 ' Interesting Group of Fighters. any kind by Mr. .Mortimer yesterday. The dog is all broken down in his hind quarters, and when he was awarded first at the last show by iir. uooamn. there was considerable indigna tion. The exhibitor pointers and setters wat good, Robert Le Diable was not on hand,but Graphic was, and had a comparatively easy victory. B. M. Stevenson's Tribulation won the blue rib bon among the pointer dogs under 50 pounds. The victor is a handsome dog and has bad five straight victories. Kennels or Irish Setters. The Irish setters were also well represented by the Killarney aud Kildare kennels. The latter are owned by V. L. Washington, of this citv, and bis dogs have now become famous. Mr. Davison, the judge of sporting dogs, ex pressed a very high opinion of all the classes that came before his notice.i The show of fox terriers aud greyhounds is very poor. The kennels of the "little pets," that is the fancy dogs, were crowded all day bv enthusias tic ladies and children. Pugs, Italian grey bounds, and other little domestic pets were there in abundance, and many endearing words of affection and sympathy did the little rascals get from their fair admirers. The arrangements of the show are first-class In every particular, and the benches are all constructed on the patent plan or Mr. Spratt This affords the visitor an excellent opportunity to get a good look at every doc. As a result all day yesterday the kennels of such prominent dogs as Jack the Hipper, Sullivan, tbe noted fighting dog. Melac, the great Dano, Sir Bedl vere. A' ton and Mr. Ilackc's wolfhounds were crowded. That the show will be a success there seems to be no doubt, judging from the immense crowa mat p&irouizeu it yesieraay. J.ne eastern trains yesterday morning were late, and this delayed tho work of juding sev eral hours, but when the judges did get started they went on with their uork in a very rapid way. Kverything went off smoothly, and there was no discontent apparent. At tho Show Last Evening. Tbe attendance last evening was particularly large and fashionable. Mr. Mortimer made up lor lost time and judzed tbe fox terriers, and, as already stated, generally speaking, this class was not first class.

Elmer Collins, the faster, met a keenly sym pathetic individual yesterday afternoon. This was A. W. Andrews, one of those who escaped from the wreck of the ship Garston, off Star buck Island, South Pacific, some years ago. Mr. Andrews, with 21 of the crew, put to sea in the longboat, and existed ZO days without food, and 12 days with out food or water. The sufferings of the sea men were fearful, and not more than half of them reached New Zealand in safety. A fellow feeling generated considerable kindness be tween Mr. Andrews and tbe local faster, and they compared notes with a sort of dismal unction. Collins is visibly weakening, bnt the chances of success are still largely in his favor. The noon examination yesterday revealed the fol lowing figures: Weigh. 125 pounds: pulse. 6S: temperature, 9S; respiration. 16. This showed a loss of three-eighths of a pound dur ing 24 hours. Collins drank 31 onnces of water and ate four cough tablets during tbe day. VALUE OF CALL BELLS. Guests at tho Duquesne Awakened on Very Short Notice. The value of call hells was demonstrated at the Duqucsne Hotel Are. When Clerk Statler saw the flames were gaining headway, he turned two levers, and tbe guests in all the rooms were at onco startled by the steady jingle of the bells. They were rung for nearly a half hour, and one man who didn't under stand ivhatwas the matter got up and tried to stop the bell in his room by repeatedly pressing tbe button. Tho insur nee men inspected the house yes terday, and thought tbat from 1,200 to 1,500 would repair the loss. Mr. Wltherow remarked that the loss would not pay his policy premiu m for a year, and divided between the half dozen companies represented, tbe sum will be a mere trifle. There was no steam in tbe honse yester day, but the culinary department was not dam aged, and the dining room and cale were opeu as usual. A YOUNG OIEL MISSIlfG. Miss Agnes Kerr, of Sutersrllle, Xot Heard From Slnco February 2i. Agnes Kerr, a young lady whose homo is at Sutersville, has been missing from the resi dence of Frank Aull, McClurg street, South side, since February 21, On that day she said she was going out to look for work, but she failed to return. Her father was in the city on Saturday hunting for her, bnt up to last ac counts nothing had been heard of her. Mr. Aull statrs tbat tbe girl left her trunk at his house, and he did not know what to do with it, and is naturally a little anxious to know of her whereabouts. Her father is also much alarmed at her absence, which he cannot account for. lie says she was a good girl, and he cannot un derstand her actiou. .Mr. Kerr called 01 Inspector McKelvey, and gave a description of his daughter, also a pho tograph, requesting that she be looked up. HAEVEY BANKEBD BURIED. Tonns Smith Reported Seriously 111. , Bnt Was Ahlo to Attend the FnneraL The funeral services of Harvey Bankcrd, who was shot on Sunday afternoon, while handling a revolver, was held yesterday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, from the South Street M. K. Church, Thirty-first ward, and was conducted by ltev. J. W. Mclntyre. Frank Smith, who was handling the revolver when it went off. was reported seriously ill from nervous prostration, but he was able to attend the funeral services. Young Smith had been sick of quinsv for two weeks previous to tbe shooting, and Sunday was bis first day out of tbe house. GOT A JOB HE DEOHT WANT. Mr. McKelvy's Joke Accepted In Earnest by the Jcannetto Councils. P. J. McKclvy, formerly of the Monongabela House, went to Jeannette last week and an nounced himself as a candidate for Street Commissioner against Thomas Kcarns.

Aikxk & Co., 100 Fifth av.; THOUBLE IN A TRADE. - t Painters' Difficulty Acted on Last flight by President Thompson. THEY MUST RE-UNITE OR STRIKE. Work Continninz on Keit Tear's imaljja mated Wage Scale. HISCELLANEODS LNDDSTEIiL ITEMS The trouble among local painters has re solved itself into tbe question of whether the two unions, Noi. 83 and 195, tbat with drew from the Painters' Council some days ago will return or submit to a' strike of the entire trade on their account. This diffi culty has been brewing ever since tbe recent election for walking delegate, which was one of the hottest contests the painters have had since their distinct council was organ ized. It arose principally between unions Nos. 10 and 15, each of which bad a candi date in the field for office. "W. H. Jewell, of No. 15 won, as is well known, and immediately Nn. 10 began to find fault and became defiant to tbe council and finally withdrew. Union No. 193 took up the fight in favor of No. 10, because tbe candi date from that uniou had withdrawn in favor of tbe representative of No. 10. Charges were preferred against No. 10, and President Thompson, of tho Brotherliood.came to this city a few days ago to settle tbe matter. He attended the meeting of tho District Coun cil last night and heard the testimony of both sides. It was expected that General Secretary Elliot would be here from Baltimore, but he did not come. His presence, however, was not necessary, as the President came with lull power to act in tb matter. Tbe charges of Union No. 15 against No. 10 were read and then the representatives from No. 15 were asked to substantiate them. Eovi dence was given by each representative preseut bearing on the threat of No. 10 not to support tbe nnion in tbe event of Jewell's election. No. 10 endeavored to offset this by reviewing their complaints against Jowell for his alleged unfairness and partiality. The work con sumed several hours and was not completed until after midnight. One of the officials said as be left tbe hall: "This matter must be settled very shortly or there will be more trouble. Mr. Thompson had only one thing to do when he got through with the evidence, and that was to order Nos. 83 and 19o back to the union. If they refuse to come they cannot work with union men. and tbe con sequence will be tho others will be brought out to support him. "This is a big fight, and lam satisfied it could have been avoided with the proper care and Jewell had been defeated." The question of the rules, so far unsatis factorily, was discussed but nothing was given out concerning it. It is probable that a confer ence with the master builders will be held In a few days at which some understanding can be arrived at. SUGGESTIONS C0MIHO IK. Amalgamated Workmen Naming tho Changes in Next Year's Scale. Work on next year's Amalgamated scale is beginning to take definite shape. As stated in The Dispatch a few days ago the local lodges were receiving suggestions on desired changes from the various departments. These sugges tions are now coming into the headquarters of tbe organization and everything that is wanted in the new scale is required to be in tbe General Secretary's hands not later that the second Tuesday in April, so they can be tabulated in good time for the Wage Conimit'ee. There is a good deal of speculation as to what will be in the new scale It has been sug gested by som- of the pnddlers that the pres ent scale be renewed and they be allowed to ask for an advance of 50 cents for boiling. This is objected to bv those vvbo argue that an ad vance for puddling ought to carry with it a corresponding advance in all other depart ments. The more conservative members, bow ever, cling to tho Idea that there will not be any great changes in any portions of cither scale. An attempt will be made to adopt a rule that will better control tho hard iron .proDlcm which has ever proven troublesome in the mills and more so than ever dnring tbo past year. WILL STOP CUTTING PEICES. Sink Makers Enter Into an Agreement to Maintain Rates. The Association of Sink Manufacturers met at tbe Anderson yesterday. It was tho first monthly gathering after the formation of the association a month ago, so tho President stated, but his remarks do not agree with H. E. Mastin, of Syracuse, who said the last at tempt to form an agreement on rates had failed, and another effort was being made to get the manufacturers to gether. The meeting yesterday was due to bis hard work for the last month. The makers have been troubled with the cutting mama, and prices have been rnn down below living rates. Mr. Mastin thought it was time to call a halt Most of the manufacturers returned home last evening. An agreement was formed to maintain prices, and Mr. Mastin thinks the traae will fare better in tbe future. THEY MAY NOT EEBUILD. Jones, Cavitt & Co. Have Not Decided Upon Plans for the Fnttire. There is now some doubt that the glass fac tory of Jones, Cavitt & Co., of the Southside, which was destroyed by tire some months a;o. will be rebuilt Tho firm, which is a limited company, was organized in July, 1E86, to run for five years. Accordingly in five months the time expires, and there have not been any arrangements made so far for rebuilding. Mr. Jcnkin Jones said yesterday tbat the mattxr of insurance had been arranged satisfactorily, and a meet ing of tbe stockholders is to be called shortly to decide upon tnture plans. Unless the com pany decides to extend the time it will not be wise for tbom to go to the exnense of a new fac tory, as It could not be ready for operation this lire. ONE WAY TO FIX BATES. The Tariff Pat on as Stiff as Shippers Will Stand It. An interested party, who refuses to give his name, as he says it would cost him dearly, says the Pennsvlvania Railroad Company sends trusted emissaries to every important station on its lines and gets from the agents a report of the net profits of every shipper at each station, and then makes a schedule of rates of freight, which schedule is put as high as the business can possibly stand without driving a shipper from the field. This shipper contends that while the West ern farmers make the most noise, they consti tute the best-cared-for class of shippers in the United States. BUSINESS MEETINGS TO-DAY. Flint Glass Men and Lead Pipe Makers Will Talk Over Trade. An adjourned meeting of the Flint Glass Manufacturers' Association will be held in the city to-day. J. T.

Cox, President, and Kdgar Kudlich, Chief engineer. HAVE NOT HEAED OF IT. Amalgamated Officials Know of No At- tempt to Break Up Their Union. Secretary Madden, of the Amalgamated As sociation, said yesterday that the trouble at the Duquesne Steel Works was not a fight between the firm there and the association, as has been represented. The association nas organizations in all tbe concerns in which Mr. Carnegie is interested, and if any attempts have been made to break them up, it has not come to the knowledge ot the officials.

The New Haven News says: "Perhaps tbe best advice that can be given ou ap proach ot the bothersome influenza is, 'Don't neglect a cold.' In its symptoms, at least, the influenza is an aggravated cold, and the only danger attached to it is that by its weakening effect on the system it may in vite other and more distressing maladies. So in the first place, avoid catching a cold, butifvoudo catch one, then stay at home and take care of it." To the above we would add, "until entirely well," as the greatest danger is just when recovering from the disease, and if Chamberlain's Cough '.Remedy is taken as directed for a severe told you will find it necessary to remain at home but a lew days.

The Midland Oil Company Expected Oil and Got Salt Water. PE0MINEST OPERATORS ARRESTED For Conspiracy and Obtaining Money on False Tretenje. DNSAT1SFACT0UT RESULT OF A DEAL An oil deal of more than ordinary mag nitude between the firm of Greenlee & Forst and the Midland Oil Company has resulted in criminal suits being entered against the parties of the first part by the parties of the second part. Some months ago Messrs. Green lee & Font sold to the Midland Oil Company the lease of a tract of oil territory in McCaudless township, this country. The consideration was ' $32,000. Ou this prop erty was a well which, it is alleged, was given the reputation of a gusher by the sellers. The latter stated that it was filled up with sand, and only needed cleaning out to produce a nice little income, varying only with the mood of tbe Standard Oil Company in setting the price of petroleum. The Midland Oil Company bought the property and started to clean out the well, expecting a steady income from it. It was found that the casing was broken, and that the well was filled with salt water, to the utter exclusion of dollar-producing pe troleum. J. C. McKinney, representing the Mid land Oil Company, made informations against the members of tbe firm and a man named Martin, charging them with con spiracy and nDtalning money on false pre tenses. Greenlee was arrested in Titusvillo yesterday, and H. Forst, the other member of tne nrra, was caught un in this city. Tbe charge of false pretenses was entered at Titusville ome days ago, and yesterday an offi cer from tbat city came nere, and after consul tation with Assistant Superintendent O'Jlara tbe charges of conspiracy were entered before Alderman McMasters.

Many Friend Congratulate Illm on the Day He Is 40 Tears Old. John A. McAleese. Inspector of Police of the First district, was 10 years old yesterday. Tbe Inspector need not bare admitted to two score years had It not been for a trio of pretty maidens and a sturdy boy wbopersisted in call ing him lather. A conspiracy, headed by Mrs. McAleese, in which she was aided and abetted by her children, members of tbe Police Bureau and others, was directed against the Inspector, and when he reached bis residence on Center avenue last evening he found it in possession of tbe enemy about 50 of them. The Inspector capitulated at once. Assistant Superintendent O'Jlara acted as master of ceremonies, while Detective Sol Conl son, in a brief but hanpv speech, congratulated tba Inspector on bis arrival at the crime of life. Ilarrv C. Shwab, as Dean of and in behalf of tbe City Hall reporters, presented Mrs. Mc Aleese with an imported bronze vase and stand, as showing tbe respect in which her husband is held by the men who know him best. Both the Inspector and his wifo returned thanks in a few words, leaving to Morris Mead, Superin tendent of the Bureau of Electricity; the task of making a more formal reply, which duty was performed most gracefully. Master Mc Aleese then welcomed tbe guests to supper, and the rest of the evening was spent In social enjoyment. Better Than a Mustard Flnstor.

If used in time it will pre vent pneumonia.

Moon Township Farmers Sign a Statement of Their Grievances An Interesting Meeting Held at Stoops' Terry What They Now Propose to Do. That the farmers of Moon township do not propose to be pnt down in their charge that they were taken in on leases made on their property was developed at a meeting held at S toons' Ferry. After a general expression of opinion and the discussion of an article pub lished In tbe issue of The Dispatch ot the 4th Inst, tbey ordered the Secretary of tba meeting to draft an expression of opinion, to which they signed their names, as appended. There was some strong expression of opinion, which it is unnecessary to repeat, as, boiled down, it is expressed in their declaration, which reads as follows: "We notice in The Dispatch an article, the headline reading. Tied Up for Ten Years.' and ou the subject have this to say: Tbe facts as -nubllsbed. Doth in regard to tbe widespread dissatisfaction existing among the farmers of this section of Moon township, and the misrep resentation under whieh the leases were taken, aro trne, and can be substantiated by every -person who leased to B. C. Beardsley & Co. The leases were given for one and two years, and some of them for only 90 davs. For some reasons best known to tbe company, duplicate copies ot the leases were not given the lessors until six, eight and ten months had elapsed. when, to their utter astonishment and consternation, they found their copies toe straightcnt ten year leases. In the meantime, Beardsley A Co. nuld a half interest in these leases, the Hazel wood Oil Company being tbe purchaser. A large number of the lessors have not acknowl edged their leases, nor lifted their rentals, nor do they intend doing so. They are not "chronic kickers." nor do tbey 'want tbe earth, with a slice of Mercury thrown in, hut what tbey do want is simple jnstice, and this tbey intend to hare.
