DIFFERENCE IK GBAPES.
"All this jailroad talk about knocking
out the ticket brokers is so much rubbish,"
remarked a prominent passenger man yes
terd.iy. "This has been the pet scheme of
the leading railroads for years, and they
haven't succeeded vet, and won't, unless by
Congressional enactment. At every passen
ger meeting someone is ready to pro
pose a new form of ticket to
remedy the evil, and the unlimited one is
the latest. It trill prove as useless
as the otners, and the railroads will never
adopt it. Ticket scalping can be stopped
cither by amending the inter-State law to
make the besiness illegal, or by an act to
charge fares by the miles traveled. Tne
latter scheme would divide up the business
and give the traffic to the short lines, which
would soon croud tho longer roads to the
wall. It is apparent that the various in
terests of the country would suffer in con
sequence, and such a law would never be
passed.
One of the Beauties of Organization.
"The ticket brokers have a powerful or
ganization, and they are prepared with
money to defeat hostile legislation "
In this connection it may be said that an
amendment to the inter-State law to make
the payment of commissions unlawful was
pending before tne last House. It died a
natural death with other bills that never
breathed after tney were bore. The Ameri
can Ticket Brokers' Association had two of
their best men, Gustav G Lansing, of New
Tork, and George M. MrKeuzie, of Chicago,
on the ground all the time to fight
the bill. These men prepared a circular
which they intended to scatter as a final
shot if at any time the situation became
threatening, and there was danger of the
bill passing, Now that the danger is over,
the committee concluded to distribute the
circular anyhow, and one reached The
Dispatch yesterday. It says:
llorelatl-ms of the Millennium.
The plea that twenty-five millions would be
save J by the abolition of commissions is used
bv the advocates oS this measure not that the
amoum is paia in commissions, nut the ex
penses incidental to its payment help to mate
the sum. The millennium depicted by the
friends n! the bill reveals only two or three
nnion offices in the larger cities, the depot of
fices alone in other places, the closing of the
numberless agencies and the discharge of the
representatives aud traveling agnnts. The in
ducement to influence passenger traffic being
removed, it is claimed the visits of the travel
ing agents would be unnecessary. As a cap
stone to these arguments, it is stated that the
dear people shall reap where the ncket, travel
ing and passenger agents have tilled and sown
in the past. Tno nublic sball have the benefits
of the twenty-five minions saved. How true is
tLisr
The interests involved, whether those of the
ticket broker or tictet agent, are not selfish,
neither are they violative of the law as it
stand to-day. It n eeds bnt a retrospective
glance to fully realize the tendency of trans
portation line to centralization. At the same
lime the greed of corporations demands hizher
rates, and as the rate per mile Is fixed by char
ter acts, extra faro is charged for pas-sage on
"limited trains" and uher 'special" features.
Yet the aim of those instrumental tn effecting
the passage of the inter-State commerce law
still fails short of the mark the prevention of
discrimination.

"There is a difference in grapes," re
marked T. Barcky last evening, as he held
up two tempting bunches of Malaga
grapes. To all appearance the grapes
looked dike, and under the tonch
were hard and full. But one grape, when
it was eaten, bad a tough skin, the seeds
were large and the interior was flabby with
little taste, and when eaten had somewhat
of the eflect of a persimmon on the mouth.
The grapes from the other bunch were just
the opposite. They were full of juice, and
nau a good mvor.
"Omv a first-class judge of grapes can
tell the difference," said Mr. Barcky.
"These grapes are bought in the fall at quick
sales, and the buyer must be rapid and
understand his business. At the auction
places in New York the chairs are arranged
in an ampitheater about an elevator. A
specimen barrel of the grapes is dumped
out and handed np to the buyers. The
auctioneer names the quantity and quality,
and you are given a minute or tno to
taste, make up your mind and state a
price, before the elevator is lowered and
another sample produced. In this, rapid
manner the grapes are sold without being
seen, and much of the business is done on
faith. If the grapes are not properly pre
served, of course, they won't be good, and
much depends afterward on how they are
stowed away."

FUN WITH AN OLD LADY.
She
Lost Her Umbrella, bat a Kind-
Hearted Conductor Found It.
"I had considerable fun with an old lady
the other day," said a Pennsylvania con
ductor last evening. "Just before my train
pulled ont I had occasion to go into the
depot, and I saw ber at the window
very nervously buying a ticket for Altoona.
Her faded cotton umbrella fell from under
her arm, and I waited to see if she would
pick it up. In her excitement she forgot it,
as I supposed, and I took it to the train with
me and pnt it in the baggage car.'
"Soon the old woman discovered her
loss, and when I came aronnd tor the
tickets she mourned about the umbrella.
She hadn't traveled rnucn, nnd knew little
of telegraph wires. 'Oh, I'll get it for you,'
I replied merrily. 'I'll telegraph," and I
reached up and touched itie bell rope.
'You shall have your umbrella at
the next station.' No trouble for me to get
it in the baggage car, and in due course of
time, and with all the mystery possible, I
came in with the faded umbrella and asiced
her if she owned it At the sight of it she
grabbed the handle, but then the wonderful
manner in which it had been restored over
came her. Her tongue was loosened and she
broke ns all up with the odd questions she
asked about the telegraph wires."
Owners of Oil I-ands Wondering Why They
Get So ch Good Bonuses.
There is a vast amount of specnlatio 1
among people in the vicinity of Bridge
ville regarding the probable views of oil
men, and their designs regarding that
territory.- Graham, Potts & Bobbins, and
the Foirct Oil Company have been operating
in, apparently, a testing way. The former
have completed five wells on Miller's run,
aud the latter one on James Herriott's
farm a gasser, one on the Collin's mill
property, one on Webster Morgan's
property, one on the farm of the late Dr.
Tames Donaldson, and one on Mrs. Dr.
Gilmore's farm.
At the operators pay from 530 to 550 an
acre bonns, and yet claim that the territorv
is only capable of small wells, property
owners some of them at least have put
their thinking caps on, and have come to
the conclusion that there is something there
that operators do not care to disclose at
present, as they (the land holders) sav if
the territory is no better than operators" re
port it, it isn't worth the bonus they pay.
Some think there will be no more develop
ment than operators can avoid until oil is
either at a better price than at present.orthat
it is a part of a shut-in movement to keep
down surplus.
Bad Roads Can't Knock It Out.
There is one industry in the rural dis
tricts that even bad roads cannot depress to
any appreciable extent, and that is, that of
setting up delegates ior political con
ventions. The candidate who has alreadv
begun treating can travel 'cross lots if there
be no other way to get to the bouse of a man
who is like to make a reliable delegate.
Very Quiet Daring Holy Week,
"This has been a quiet week ior the ho
tels," said a clerk of one of the local houses
last evening. "It shows that men will at
least try to be good for a short period.
Drummers have always recognized this
trait of business people, and during Holy
Week they usually lay off 1 expect to see
trade revive next week."

How They Provldo for Careless Customers
and Beat Tin Plate Men.
"Well," said a young married man, yes
terday, "I have learned a few things after
a month at housekeeping. The price of
Ei-ter bonnets and the cost of dresses para
lyzed me, but I have become used to the
high rates. Bnt what surprised me most
v ere the devices of the family grocers to
avoid the tin plate nuisance. A man is
seldom known to carry a bucket, and
wnetber sent by his wife for tea, eggs,
tiysters or aiiik, be never thinks of taking a
pell along for either. The grocer is ex
pected to provide some sort of a cheap
package.
"The paper boxes for oysters arc common
enough, aud a man can carry a quart in one
fur an hour at least, but the latest scheme is
a :auor sack lor milk. I tackled ray grocer
for some milk tne other dav, but as usual

for several hours more."

The mystery deepens about the murder of
Detective Gilkinson and the work of the
Fitzsimmons gang. Every day the case as
sumes a new phase. Both the defense and
the prosecution are slraining every
point The Commonwealth is fearful of
being brought out in the light of perse
cuting the murderer, and for that reason are
even afraid to take the roan out of jail and
have his photograph taken. Both sides are
keeping quiet, but startling revelations are
promised at the inquest to-morrow. The
defense attempted a conp yesterday, but
onlv found a boomerang which will
strike back at the inqnest to-morrow.
One of the leading citizens of
Homestead is authority for the statement,
and he is willing to make an affidavit to its
truth, that yesterday a prominent official of
Homestead approached one of the private
detectives who is gleaning evidence iu the
Fitzsimmons affair and asked him:
"How much will you take to work forthe
other sideT"
Repulse of a Private Detective.
The detective wasiodignant and repulsed
the offer. He afterward told his story and
announced bis intention ot giving the en
tire matter in evidence to-morrow.
A search was made in Homestead for
John Myers, the writer of the letter which
was'pnblished yesterday, connecting Fitz-
simmons with the Umberger crime in
Somerset county. The only John Myers
to be found in Homestead is a man who
has lived there for six years. He came there
from Latrobe. He was formerlv a stone
mason, but he is now the owner of a high
hat, a clever tongue and a suit of black
broadcloth. At present he is earning a liv
ing and making housewives happy by ped
dling clothes-wringers and washing ma
chines. About murders he says he knows
but little, and in an interview last night
said:
"I did not write the letter that was sent
to The Dispatch last night. I do not
even know who could have written the let
ter. All I know is that I have seen Fitz
simmons peddling silk umbrellas in and
about Homestead. I never was in Somerset
county. I was not acquainted with the
man. I did not see Fitzsimmons taken
from the lockup to the station, bnt I
was on Seventh avenue at the time. I
remember of talking in a crowd about see
ing Fitzsimmons peddling umbrellas and
someone may have overheard me and then
built up the rest of the story. I expect the
next thing will be the identification of Fred
Fitzsimmons as Jack the Kipper. I know
just as much about his connection with that
crime as I do abont the perpetration of the
Umberger murder."
Has No Doubts of Their Guilt.
Charles McPhail, of the Gilkinson agency,
was talked to on the matter yesterday and
he says: "There is no doubt about the guilt
of the Nicely boys. Fitzsimmons never
committed that crime, and even, though
Fitzsimmons is a bad man, it is not fair to
accuse bim of murders that he did not com
mit I believe the letter was only a clever
scheme gotten up by the attorneys for the
Nlcelys to secure a reprive. The rifles in
each pistol may differ slizhtly, but then it
wonld be impossible to tell whether the
groves marked by them in the builets would
be the same. The bullets are so flat
tened that it would be impossible
to tell what the marks were.
Of conrse all the 38-caliber bullets
of the same make will have exactly the same
weight even if they were fired from a
thousand different pistols."
Another bit of evidence to be brought
out to-morrow is from an employe of the
w estingnouse machine shops. He was once
a shopmate of Claries Clark and was induced
by him to go to Homestead where through
Clark's influence he secured a place in the
Carnegie machine shop. He worked there
for several months when, he claims,
Fitzsimmons robbed bim of 527.
He then left Homestead disgusted.
It is said his testimony will prove damaging
to the Clarks. He claims Fitzsimmons was
very intimate with the Clark family, and on
several occasions took Clark's wile to the
theater. -
ONE WAY 0UT0F TROUBLE,
A Suggestion Offered the County How
Public JJolldiags Conld Be Well Sup
plied With Natural Gas The County as
Its Own Gas Company.
A little incident, or rather a series of inci
dents, occurred in the Court House during
the late cold snap, which some people who
pay enormous prices for natural gas, and,
instead, are supplied oxygen and nitrogen
mainly, hope mav in time influence the
courts when they come to deal with ques
tions in dispute between gas purveyors and
consumers.
The supply furnished the Court House
became very short, nnd employes hustled
to keep their blood in circulation early in
the morning. By and by the steam gauges
began to show less and less pressure as the
minutes dragged along, and finally it was
found necessary to give the elevators a rest.
This, however, was rather a relief than au
aggravation to all who were able to walk,
as the exercise was grateful. Superintendent
Mercer was in hope that he could get
through the day, but by 11 o'clock the
recording angels began to com
plain that their fingers were too
cold to handle their pens, and they could not
write well with gloves any more than a eat
can catch mice in gloves. The ladies
resoluted and protested, nnd finally donned
their wraps and went home.
It is suggested that the countv might fur
nish its own gas to the Court House, and at
no yery great cost, either. It could buy a
roarer within ten miles of the city,
say at a cost of $10,000, with
a considerable of acreage to drain,
and could lay amain sufficient to answer all
its purposes for many years, for 56,000 more,
nnd the entire cost would not he more than
820,000. It could sell $20,000 worth of 4
per cent bonds, so that it could have an
abundant supply for Court House, jail and
all its institutions, at a cost of $S0O a year,
which wonld be much less than its fuel at
present costs.
There is enongh natural gas within 10
miles of the city going to waste to supply
the county and leave it a large supply,
while the present outlook is that in a short
time the buildings, which are justly the
pride of the county, will be as dingy as was J
the old uourt House. The county, also,
could exercise the right of eminent domain
in its own limits.'

Fitzsimmons in Need of Money.
Thomas M. Marshall, attorney for Fitz
simmons, has notified Officer McAllister, of
Homestead, that he wanted the money taken
from Fitzsimmons on the night ot his ar
rest He said the money would be of no
value as evidence, and that Fitzsimmons
needed it badly. The money will be turned
over.
County Detective Beltzhooversaid that he
nad no evidence against Fitzsimmons on
the Umberger crime, and also denied that
Laura Snowden was a daughter of Mrs.
Fitzsimmons. This was also backed
up by Boiler Inspector Burwell
of the Hartford Insurance Com
pany. His home is in Cleveland.
He is intimately acquainted both with Miss
Snowden and Mr. aud Mrs. Stevens, an
uncle and aunt of the girl. They live in
Cleveland, and Mr. Burwell says Laura
Suowden much resembles Mrs. Stevens.
He also says the Snowden family lived in
Rochester and atterward in Cililornia.
Two weeks after the Schmitt robbery
Clark and Fitzsimmons visited the Carne
gie Steel Works. The latter wore a high
silk hat which has been identified as the
one which was found in the room supposed
to have been occupied by Fitzsimmons in
the Clark homestead.
Constable Murphy Improved.
Constable Murphy's condition is mnch
improved and the danger point in passed.
Yesterday Drs. McCann and Clark re
moved the abcess which bad formed on his
hip, and also toot away some of the flesh
about the wound on his breast As a result
Mr. Murphy rests much easier. The doctors
no longer fear blood poisoning. He will,
however, be confined to his bed for at least
ten days, which will prevent his appearance
at the inquest.
From liraddock last night it was learned
that Clark was uot unknown there. Clark
and Thomas Dougherty roomed together
there, with a man named" Barber. Dough
erty missed a pocketbook containing a. large
sum of money. He reported the matter to
Chief Donovan, but as there was uot
sufficient evidence against Clark.the matter
was dropped.
Detective Beltzhoover attended the sale
yesterday of the effects of Fitzsimmons at
his house at Bull's Bun. He took charge
of all the turniture that will be needed as
evidence in the case. The sale was made by
the owner of the property, and was to re

All of the accused are boy's and the in
formations were made by Armstrong Bros.
& Co., but the ofeciajs of the Corkworkers'
Assembly, who insist that the boys had no
connection with the trouble, succeeded in
keeping the defendants' names quiet Mas
ter Workman Landers, of the assembly,
said last evening that hi wonld be able to
clear all the boys, and especially one of
them, who was not within two miles of the
place when the dffienlty occurred.
There was another large meeting of the
workers in the Grand, Central Bink yester-.
day alternoon. M. F.Xanders presided.
The various committees reported, showing
the methods alleged to have been resorted
to by the firm to intimidate the employes
and frighten them into returning to work.
One report was to the-effect that representa
tives of the firm have been visiting the
parents of girls employed in the factory
and threatening that unless the girls return
to wort Monday they will lose their situa
tions. Another committee reported that
offers of large increases in salaries have
been made to various employes, but all have
been refused.
All Vote to Refrain From Work.
Speeches were made by Master Workman
Evans, of the district, Secretary Speidel,
Thomas Grundy, I. N. Boss and M. F.
Landers. A vote was taken upon the ques
tion of standing outK and the motion was
carried unanimously. The men express
themselves more confidently than ever that
L they can win the light A warrant was or
dered lor $l,3b& to be distributed among the
workers as strike benefits, and the Finance
Committee will meet to-morrow to devise a
plan for securing more aid in case it is
necessary.
A peculiarly sad incident, and yet one
that shows how the. strikers are sticking
together, occurred during the meeting. A
messenger bronght word toOwenBrannigan,
one of the men who was at the meeting,
that his child had died suddenly. The
afflicted father had not reached his home on
Thirty-eighth street, until another member
of the Assembly was following him with a
donation of $50, which had been made by
the assembly. '
It was stated at K. of L. beadquarters
last night that the developments of the next
day or two are expected to be of such a
character as to bring about a speedy con
ference with the firm and settlement of the
difficulty. A circular signed by Joseph L."
Evans and H. E. Speidel. which is evi
dently being sent out to labor organizations,
fell into the hands of a Dispatch reporter
last night, it reads:
FrrrsBtraa, March 25.
To Organized Labor, Greeting:
The corkmakers heretofore employed by
Armstrong, Bro. Co., desire to fully inform
the organized workingmon and women ot thir
locilnr-of the exact status of the difficulty
with tbat firm, and ask for your moral support
and co-operation.
Telling the Story or the Strike.
The operatives of the above factory are or
ganized in the Knights of Labor, and this year,
as usual, presented a scale and agreement. The
firm asked, on January 80. for certain changes
in this agreement These changes were granted
by the organization, but no scale was signed,
by reason ot neglect ot both parties. Finally,
on March 1 the firm demanded that the scale
be signed, but asked that an apprenticeship
clause, previously agreed upon, and In the scale
for 1890, be left out. This was refused, and the
operatives were then informed that if tbe scale
was not signed as desired by the firm a lockout
wonld occur on Thursday, March 19. Con
ferences were held, but the firm insisted
and the operatives were equally firm. Recol
lect, on January 30 the firm agreed to tbls same
apprenticesmp clause, un saturoav. March
21, a final conference was held, but no agree
ment was arrived at. Later in that day, how
ever, the Master Workman of D. A. 3, at the
earnest solicitation oi a citizen, aud by an
agreement between tbe citizen and T. M. Arm
strong, senior member of the firm, beld anotber
conference, at which it was positively agreed
that the firm should recognize tbe organiza
tion and that the apprenticeship clause
should be drooped. Tbe only uctails left were
to have the agreement typewritten anu sent to
the Master Workman. This was never done,
and for a second time tbls high-toned firm had
broken their word.
The firm also agreed, on Saturday evening,
that they would cot attempt to start non-union
on Monday. This promise was also oroken,
and tbey did attempt to start non-union, but
were not successful.
An Appeal foe Moral Support
The circular closes with a strqng appeal
for moral support The organizations are
asked to induce their friends not to use tbe
product of Armstrong, Bro. & Co.'s factory,
and to ask brewers, bottlers, druggists and
others who use corks to patronize other fac
tories. Superintendent Gow returned home from
Ion a yesterday, where he had been attend
ing the funeral of his father. He seems
satisfied that the assembly will decide at its
meeting to-morrow to go to work on Tues
diy. Mr. "C. D. Armstrong thinks the
strike is already settled. Said he: "With
the exceptions of a few, we want all the old
hands back, and I believe that within the
next two or three days four-fifths
of our men will be back at wort. Every
few minutes to-day applications were re
ceived from old hands, which is conclusive
evidence that the trouble is settled in our
favor." " "
Nearly Two Hundred Men Laid Off Yester
day at the Ft Wayne Shops.
At the Ft Wayne shops in Allegheny,
150 men were suspended yesterday, leaving
only 20 men now employed in tbe .repair
shops. This action was bronght about by
the proposed removal ot the shops to Con
way, where a roundhouse for the accommo
dation of 100 engines is. in the course of
erection, while but four stop there uoW.
Since the completion of the Ohio connect
ing bridge, the matter of changing the
divisions has been under consideration.
Through freight is run directly from Wall
to Conway, and it hjs cow been deeided to
change tbe divisions so that insteid of At
leghenv being a terminus, they will rnn
from Wall to Conway, and from "Conway to
Crestline instead of from Allegheny to Al
liance, and from Alliance to Crestline.
In tbe future about 800 men, who were
formerly located in Allegheny, will be em
ployed at Conway, and nearly"200 trainmen,
who lived in Allegheny, will" be compelled
to move to Conway.
A PLASTESEES' COMBINE.
Contractors of the Monongahela Biver
Towns Form an Agreement.
The contracting plasterers ol Charlerol,
Monongahela City, Bellevernon, Lucyville
and California have formed a combination
and have agreed upon a scale of prices for
the next year. Any contractor violating
the agreement shall be fined $200, and any
contractor who failed to sign the agreement
previous to yesterdavmust pay an initiation
lee of $50.
The contractors have also conceded the
demands of the journeymen plasterers and
hodcarriers, which were $3 50 and $2 50 a
day respectively.
Worked Like a Charm.
The new train of four high rolls described
in The Dispatch some weeks ago, were
put into operation at the Homesteadplant
of Carnegie Bros. & Co., on Friday. It
worked entirely satisfactorily. The new
armor plates for the Government are to be
made on this train.
