If Canflit Jndjre Lynch Will Preside at Their tiecQtion. GEEAT IC1TEUEXT0VEU THE KILLING rsrsciAt. TLrr bav to th dibpjltch.i Chakloxte, 2. C, Match 21. A party of revenue officers had a terrific fight with moonshiners in the mountains near Mount A:ry last night. Two of the officers were killed and four others badly hurt, at least three of the moonshiners being wounded, but none killed. The two officers dead arc It. J. Barnwell, a brother-in-law of Congressman if. G. Ewart, of this State, and Thomas Brown. Tne names ot the wounded could not be learned. The fight wa-one of the most terrible experienced with mountaineers in late years, and the people of Allegheny county are greatly ex cited over the matter and it is leared that the trouble is not yet at an end. Judge Lynch Will Officiate. A posse is in search of the bloody moon shiners, and should they be caught, it is as serted. Judge Lynch will again hold high carnir-tl. The revenue partv consisted of ten men. They left Mount Airy yesterdav evening on horsebacK and journeyed 1 miles into tne country, to a place where they hd been told several mountaineers manufactured the illicit stuff by the light nt the moon. The party was under com mand ot J. B. Fields, a man noted for his braverv and daring spirit. It was nearly midnight when the party riding along by the moonlight mountain side discovered smoke issuinir'from a dense thicket about 200 yards ahead of tbeui. They decided that they were upon their game and a hurried consultation was held. Th.yall being heavily armed, it was de rided to make a desperate attempt to cap ture the moonshiners, and to do tins tbey de cided o surround them and then close in, demanding that they sunender. Killed at the Tirst Fire. When every man had stationed himself at his pest, they began to close in, and Captain Fields called for their unconditional surren der. But the officers did not find the moon shine, sleeping, for one gave the alarm and lns'mth no less than 20 shots rang out on the midnight air and two of the officers fell to the ground, one dead and the other mor tal lv wounded. The officeis retnrned the fire, but the moonshiners did not scare, and in a few seconds four other officers were wounded and they were compelled to run np the white flag. The officers let the moonshiners escape, and taking their dead and wounded thev started back to Mount Airy, arriving there just at daybreak this morning. The news of the fight began to spread. It carried great excitement with it, and soon a posse was organized to hunt out the guilty moonshiners. It is not believed, however, that they can be easily taken as they will resist bitterly. BOSK'S BETLIIAKT TACTIC& now lie Proposes to Open Foreign Mar kets for American Cattle. Chicago, March 21. The sensationally largcpurcbasc of cattlcinCanadadnring the past week by American capitalists brought to light hereto-day the first complete public knowledge of the results of a masterly in ternational campaign that has been quietly but eflectively waged by Secretary of Agri culture Kusk. The object was to afford re lief to American cattle growers by opening markets abroad. The Canadian purchases, it appears, are Einmlv in the nature of preliminary tactics to secure unrestricted entry of American cattle into Great Britain. Canadian cattle. though inferior to the American product, are legally unfettered bv British enact ments, and the Americans, who have just bought some immense Canadian herds, propose to utilize the Canadian animals to fannliar.ze the people of rural England, Scotland and Wales with with the beef from this sine of the Atlantic. This Canadian rnture will result in a loss to the Ameri--n interested, but they are confidently ountiug on recouping themselves whenfbe American beeves ate freely introduced and slaughtered at will throughout Great Britain.

He Also Positively declines to Frodace the Books of the Sugar Trust The legisla tive Investigation Balked An Adjourn ment Taken Until To-Morrow. NewYork, March 21. The State Senate Law Committee resumed its session here to day. "William Dick, of Dick & Meyer, one of the constituent companies of the Sugar Trust under investigation, testified that John E. Searles was the only man who knew anything reliable about trie relations of his company to the trust. When ques tioned closely as to the amount of profits made by his company when it entered the trust, witness invariably replied, "I can't tell." H. O. Havemeyer was submitted to long and tiresome questioning about the details of the relations between the American Sugar Refining Company and the trust. He stated that he became a party to a deed of trust called the American Sugar Refineries Corn pan v. This company was subsequently dis continued by the Court of Appeals. "Then," said Mr. Havemeyer, "I became a member of tne American Sugar Refineries Company of New Jersey." The most important point elicited by the testimony was the state ment that the $10,000,000 loan was by the constituent company as individuals, and not as a corporation. Something of a sensation was created at one time when the witness declined to give the valuation placed upon the stock turned over to the trust by his company. Mr. Havemeyer said he could not tell it. Attorney Harris Do you know how much you got yourseli? Mr. "Havemeyer I do, approximately. Q. Have vou any objection to telling this committee? A. With due deference to the committee, I must decline to answer. Q. When the company was organized into a corporation in 18S7, how much per sonal property did the books of the company show? A. None. In answer to other questions, it was elici ted that the business was carried on entirely with borrowed monev, all the way from $1,000,000 to $15,000,000 in amount, Mr. Havemeyer said. He repeatedly and posi tively declined to state how many shares were transferred to the trust. Hi's refusal will be submitted to the Senate. Mr. Have meyer also relused to divulge the yearly profits of the company, or to produce the books, alleging that he had not the power to do so. The investigation adjourned till Monday.

Central Trades Council Watching Legisla tion at Harrisbnrjr. MISCELLANEOUS IXDDSTMALr NOTES There will be an important meeting at the headquarters of the Amalgamated Associa tion to-morrow morning, when a special committee ol 24 members, representingevery district in the association, will come together for the purpose of considering a number of questions pertaining to next year's sheet mill scale. The dispute between the roughers and catchers and the rollers and heaters which has been in progress for three years has never been settled. Two years ago the roughers and catchers made their fight on the floor of the convention and lost. Last year the matter was brought up again and tbey asked that a more equal division of the wages be made. The subject was discussed at length and finally referred with a number of ether things to a special committee of 24 that was appointed at the last session. Another question to be discussed at to morrow's meeting will relate to hours. At present eight heats constitute a turn on sheet and jobbing mills. There is a disposi tion to reduce the number to seven. There is also a desire on the part of many to chance the clause which provides that the scale of wages in the sheet mills shall be based on 180 pairs a turn for single mills and No. 25 guage and upward, doubled in pairs of 84 per turn; doubled in threes 105 pairs per turn. As this base has existed for a number of years, however, it is not thought any change will be made. The members of the committee began to arrive in the city yesterday, and the re mainder are expected to-day. President Weibe has been iu the East for two or three days adjusting a few slight difficulties among the workmen there, but is expected home for the meeting to-morrow. Work on the iron scale is progressing quietly. The desired alterations have been about all sent in to the general office, and on Tuesday, April 7, these alterations will be put in pamphlet form to be sent to the various subordinate lodges. The latter will then spend the remainder of the time be tween now and the convention discussing the proposed changes and instructing their representatives how to vote in the conven tion. THAT LIABILITY BILL Eicltement'Over Sir. Hall's Speech Before the Committee. Superintendent Follansbee, of the Cham ber of Commerce, was quite busy yesterday sending letters to members of tbe State House of Representatives and State Senate. The letters contained resolutions passed by the Chamber of Commerce on March 2, which were a remonstranceagainst tne pass age of House bill No. 140, better known as the employers' liability bill. This bill comes up iu the House next Tuesday for a third reading, and on this account Superin tendent Follansbee is forwarding the letters asking the members to vote against its passage. The speech made by L. U. Hall, ex Speaker of the Senatelast week, before the Senate Committee to which tne bill had been referred, has excited considerable com ment. Some criticism basbeen heaped npon bis shoulders, aud according to those who heard him, much of the talk has been un just Mr. Hall is an animated speaker and in the heat of his argument he referred to two Senators as plain "Hines and Jones." forgetting, unintentionally, of course, the dignified position they hold. Some feared this breach of courtesy would have a serious efiect with those who have a vote on the bill, as Mr. Hall represented those who are work ing lor its defeat but as the Senate was not in session, and all were in the committee meeting on the same level, the Pittsburg manu'acturers are Inclined to feel that Mr. Hall's offense was not so great after,all. WILL SEND PETITIONS. Central Trades Council Keeping an Eye on the Legislature. The Central Trades Council met in regu lar session large night with a large attend ance. Seven new delegates were admitted. The Executive Board reported they had re ceived copies of all the "labor" bills from Senator Neeb, among them the "eight hour" and the "mechanics' lien" bills, the Baker "ballot reform" bill and that of Mr. Emit All of them were thoughtfully discussed, and it was decided to take immediate action on them. Petitions and remonstrances will be sent to Harrisburg and requests made that they be watched to prevent anything detrimental to the labor interests being em bodied in them. The committee from the German Trades Council having in hand the matter of the convicted rioters of Braddock, reported on the work done by that committee, but it was decided that nothing further would be done at present, pending the decision of Judge Stowe on the application for anew trial. A petition from the Brewers' TJuion was in dorsed. It had been submitted to the License Court in'theshapeofa remonstrance against applicants who patronize foreign brewers to the exclusion of home brewers. The Executive Board was instructed to arrange another open meeting for Saturday, April 18. ONLY HOPE FOB PUENACEMEN. Mr. Tyler Believes In Taking the High Tariff" Off Iron Ore. ;. W. P. Tyler, the Washington tube manu facturer, went East last evening. Mr. Tvler says bis works have all tbe orders they can possibly fill at present. ' "I am not a free trader," he said, "but I think if the tariff were taken off iron ore, the Mahoning and Shenango furnace men could compete with the Southern product The Lake Superior men have reduced the price from 56 SO per ton to 55 50 since the depression commenced, but it doesn't cost tbcm more thau $2 50 to deliver the iron in the valleys. These are the people who are making the money. In England the ore is sold for about 2 per ton. There is plenty of good ore in Cuba, and it could be easily brought into the country. I think this is the only hrpe at present for the fur nace owners." ADHISSIOH EEFUSED AGAIN. The I'ainters' Delegates Denied a Beat In the Trades Council. The Building Trades Council met last night and the delegates from the painters' unions, which have withdrawn from the Painters' Council, were again refused ad mission. This trouble seems to be growing rather serious. The members of Union No. 195 refuse to send their delegates back to the Painters' Council for this reason, as they say that they will not be affiliated with an organization that is not composed exclu sively of painters. It is said the Painters' Council is presided over by a paper hanger, and one ot the most serious objections is based on these grounds. HOT A 8ATISFACT0BY C0HTEBEHCE. The Corkworkers "Will Not Besume To Morrow Morning. Master Workman Evans, of .District As sembly 3, Knights of Labor, yesterday had a conference with the firm of Armstrong Bros. & Co. in behalf of the loeked-out corkworkers. "The result was not entirely satisfactory, a no definite promise could be secured that the union would be recognized. In fact, they still insist that the works will be started to-morrow' morning with non union hands, but Mr. Evans says this will simply be an impossibility. The men have decided repeatedly that they will not go back until the firm comes to their terms, and the report that they will be allowed to go back to work to-morrow is denied. The firm must make the next more, according to the, men. A story was circulated yesterday to the efiect that Mr. Gow would not return from his father's funeral until he had gone East and secured non-union workmen, but this is disbelieved by Mr. Evans, who even thinks that Mr. Gow will not return at all.

Mr. locum Will Hot Be Held Bespon sible for an injustice. A YEEI POINTED COMMUNICATION XPECIAL TSLXOBAM TO TUX DISPATOn.l Habeisrdrq, March 21. The transfer of Rev. Dr. Leak to this city has been the cause of much discussion in Grace M. E. Church.over which he will soon preside. The trouble has arisen from tbe fact that Dr. Leak is not a member of the Centra Pennsylvania Conference, which embraces Harrisburg district. Rev. E. H. Yocum, who has been pastor of Grace Church, thinks he has been sub jected to very unjust treatment. Rev. Yo cum is out in a communication in which he says that, on learning that private meetings of his church had been held to devise means to secure another minister under the unwar rantable assumption that he had concluded to leave his charge at the close of his third year, he informed a committee which rwaited on him that in view of the opposi tion to him by several members ot tbe church he had determined to close his pas torate. Rev. Yocum, in his printed state ment, says: Didn't Want to Hold On. "From this timeforward.notwithstanding all statements to the contrary, and also in the face of declarations respecting 'wire pulling,' 'tricks 'conspiracy, etc., (which false and insulting declaration I spurn with well-merited contempt) I have neither expected nor wished to continue as pastor of Grace Church be yond the close ot the third year. When, at length, a selection was made outside the membership of the Central Pennsylvania Conference, I did expect, as did tbe entire conference of which 1 am a member, that a transfer would be made only upon the basis of an equitable exchange between confer ences. This was the condition, and tbe only condition, insisted upon in the corre spondence which was bad with Bishop Fowler, by myself, prior to the meeting of our conference at Sunbury on the 11th inst" After stating that Bishop Fowler bad told him that he had arranged to make tbe transfer by exchange between conferences, but that the representations made to him (the Bishop) by the brethren from Grace Church had been that his (Youum's) pastor ate had been a flat failure, and that the chuich AVas Ready for Disintegration, and that he (the Bishop) had no alternative but to provide a place for him in this con ference. Rev. Mr. Yocum adds: "When it was determined that both Dr. Leak and myself were to be provided for in the Cen tral Pennsylvania Conference, I emphatic ally and repeatedly insisted that I should not be made the instrument of injustice and injury to my brothers iu the ministry; that it there was anywhere a vacancy, no matter how inferior that vacant place might be, I should be appointed to it, and be thus spared the humiliation of seeing mv brother minister suffer, not through my fault, it is true, but through my misfortune in becom ing the, victim of grossest misrepresentation. "The conference session closed, aud my plea for my brethren was not heeded, for I found myself appointed to one of the most desirable stations in the conference, where a united congregation awaits my coining to enter upon the duties of my pastoral office. In the effort, however, to make room iu the conierence for a transferred man, there are severai brethren who are deeply and justly aggrieved. It could not be otherwise. Let the responsibility rest where it justly be longs, and it is a responsibility of no trivial character." A Young Girl Missing. Mrs. Theresa Brunner, who lives on Holt street Twenty-seventh ward, tbinks that a daughter ot hers has been kidnaped. She called at Alderman Flack's last evening and asked his assistance in finding her. She said her name was Theresa Brunner, aced II34 years, and unusually large for her MAKING GLAD THE WASTE (WAIST) PLACES.

Elmer Collins, at 10 o'clock last night, accomplished the most genuine fast ever at tempted in this country anyway. Tanner and Sncci both fasted for longer periods, but with tbe aid of some kind of liquid food, whereas Collins has tasted nothing beyond a lew ounces of water every day. .He began his task on the 10th of February, at 10 o'clock p. M. His weight then was 138 pouuds; pulse, 101; temperature, 98; respi ration, 18, and his height 6 feet 8J inches. At the conclusion of his fast his weight was 110 pounds; pulse, G9; temperature, 9G, and his respiration 16. He thus lost 28 pounds during his fast .' The museum was crowded to its utmost when, at OiSO o'clock, James Piatt, preceded by an officer and followed by a colored Waiter, forced a passage through tbe throng with the food with which Collins was to break his fast. Meanwhile Collins was on the stage of the theater, when another big crowd gazed upon his determined, if thin face. Shortly before 10 o'clock Collins was escorted to his last month's residence in the corner of the museum, and placed upon a chair resting on tbe table. JJrs. Wiley, Moyer and Heustis looked at the fasterwith some curiosity. They noted that he did not display the least nervousness, his hands and muscles being ae firm as possible. "How do you feel, Collins?" inquired Dr. Heustis. ''Very well, thank you," was the reply, in tones which were surprisingly audible. Prof. Lyons announced the conclusion of the fast at one minute past 10 o'clock, and Dr. Hess immediately gave Collins two teaspoonfuls of clam juice, which he seemed to relish very well lor a man who had sub sisted on water for 30 days. In a few minutes his eyes brightened, and be conversed for a short time with those about him. He was presented with $500, and an additional $50, in consideration of tbe manner in which be carried himself during the task. Alder man McMasters was present, with affidavits as to the reality of the fast, which the doc tors present, and the medical watchers and newspaper men, subscribed to. Dr. Wiley was present as substitute for Dr. Frank Mc Donald, whose duty he is doing. Collins' bill ol fare up to midnight was: At 10 o'clock, 2 drachms of clam juice; 10:13 o'clock, 2 drachms of warm milk; 10:20 o'clock, 3 drachms of clam juice; 11 o'clock, 14 ounce of warm milk; 11:30 o'clock, 1 ounce of clam juice; at 12 o'clock, 1 ounce of warm milk.
