Loar, conimaudmg Company E, Tenth Reg iment, X. G. P., would be burned in effigy but little credence was siven the report by the citizens. However, the strikers kept their word, and a suit of overalls stuffed with straw and fastened upon a Ions pole was carried at the head of a procession of 300 strikers ana a brass band. Upon the breast of the blouse was a card bear ing the lolloninslescnd, "Captain Loar, Corn pan v E." With this they paraded the principal street and halted under a larpe snade tree, saturated the eflljy with oil and after hanginc it to a limb of the tree applied a torch and soon the whole affair was in flau.es. Atter the burning the citizens or the place met rnd passed the following resolutions : "Resolved, That we. the citizens or ML Pleasant, condemn the despicable action of Captain J. A. Loar in taking sides ith monopoly and acainst ill paid labor by olunieering his and his company8 services for the purpose of creatine dis turbance between the operators and men" There was considerable excitement in labor circles last nicht over the actions of the Fnck Company a;ainst their officials for riot, con sinracv, assault and battery aud intimidation touien. "oneof the principal labor leaders lmebeen arrested, thouch the strikers were arrested bv Sheriff JlcCormick and taken to jail in croups of eight and ten yesterday. Lieut of the Jimtown rioters were arrested yesterday afternoon. All yniet Yesterday at Scottdale, Everything was quiet at Scottdale, although more trouble is expected, as the foreign ele ment is said to be becoming uncontrollable. o work has been done at the Lelsenring No. 3, where the bombshell was exploded, as a wholesome bint to the men that they had better not work. A raid there was conseauently deemed unnecessary, though there would have been trouble had the men not taken the hint. Neither is there any work be ing done at Leiennnc 2"o. 2. where a raid was made on Monday. At the Fnck office it was authentically reported that there are 40 men at woik at Jimtown in spite of the trouble there.

Tbey state that Walker, one fl the Jimtonn men who has prosecuted them, is an expelled Knight of Labor, and i trying to get even. The officers or the Fnck Company state that 17 cars ot coke will be shipped from the Jimtown works to-day, which they regard as remark able. A large mass meeting of the strikers was held yesterday at CouuellsviUe. Addresses were made by Master Workman Wise. Secretary Parker. Keeseu, Corrigna and other labor lead. ers. The object of the meeting was to set the sxmpathvot th public, and another meeting will be held at Dawson to-day. CLOSED BY THE POLICE. The First Annnal Ball of the Mutual Camp ing Club Not a Sociul Success Too Much Free Beer Caused Much Disorder and an Early Termination. Another disorderly ball was closed down by the Southside police at 1 o'clock yester day uiorniajr. The Mutual Camping Club oftbe Southside held their first annual inasauerade ball on Monday evening last at Turner Hall, on Jane street, near South Kightecuth street The club was very largely attended, about 300 couples being present. In the forepart of the evening eery indication pointed to an orderly ball and a pleasant time for all present. The cotunicserc a little ontof the ordinary and in some cases were exceptionally prettv. The rclrcshnieuts set up by the club for their gnets eonM-ted principally of beer and sand wiches. The hall was a little too much crowded and a large number were forced to wait their turn for dancintr. In the meantime attention was paid to the refreshment stands and hi" 11:30 o'clock the free beer began to show itsefiecL fceeral young men were ejected for insulting lauics, and one, Louis Louehncr, was placed under arrest and hued 525 and costs for his improper actions toward a young lady, at a heannc given him by Alderman Succop yes terday morning. About 12:30 o'clock a number or people becamo so disorderly that Lieutenant Johnson notified the general manager that the ball would have to bo closed at once. That official was somewhat surprised when spoken to in that manner and asked the lieutenant to point out some of the people who were acting disorderly. Lieutenant Johnson was not long in dolnc so, and soon showed the manager several couples whose actions dirt not to his mind seem alto gether proper. Evnry ellort possible was made by the managers to uave thinjs settled quietly, but every minuto or so some person else would becaght doing something they should noL borne men seemed inclined to niake footballs ot some of the smaller girls, according to the police and would throw them around as if they were lightweight dumb-bells. One of the managers offered Lieutenant Johnson 10 if he would allow the ball to run SO minutes loucer The sum was politely de clined, and the ball was ordered closed down at onre.

AFTER-EFFECTS MICH THE WORST rails Down and Completely Shatters Ker- touj Systems and Flays Havoc With Tital Force. MAKING ITS WAT STEADILY WESTWAKD No IsiietUras cf Asittmest la tbe Present tjidtmis in Pittrturg. The grip has developed a still more se rious phase than hitherto supposed by those who are not versed in medical science. Modern scientific investigation has thrown a new light upon the secrets of that mys terious malady, which for four centuries has at intervals blown its blighting breath over the Eastern Hemisphere, and which has now apparently migrated to the countries of the American Conti nents. Under this illumination, the disease has shown itself possessed of some decidedly serious elements. To the nnpracticed individual a severe case of the grip means prolonged fits ol sneezing, pains in the bead, back and limbs, and a general feeling of lassitude, with complica tions of cold, bronchitis and other affections which, altogether, render life miserable lor a short time. The average individual thinks most of being forced to lose a few days' pay and foot numerous little bills of physicians and druggists. Insanity One of the Consequences. Recent developments have shown, how ever, that scTerc cases of grip result in great physical aud mental. depression, the latter manifesting itself in melancholia, anemia, hysteroraania and other forms of temporary insanity. As a result the influence upon the nervous force is so depressing that its effects arc apparent for weeks after the patient has recovered from the first attack of the grip. Tne vital forces are sapped, leaving the patient a victim of nervous debility and possibly of imperfect mental powers. The grip siege of 1890 left scores of Pitts burg's populace minus a certain jrital qual ity they previously possessed, carrying with them the lasting marks of the strange infec tion in racking nerves and impaired powers. That the present epidemic will leave its footprints behind" in proportion to the se- vereness of its form over that of last year is hardly to be doubted. Physicians all over the two cities are quietly waiting for the disease to break itself in order to watch carefully the more blasting results of its after effects. Melancholia a Frequent Result Dr. C. ( Wiley, the well-known special ist in nervous troubles, was asked yesterday regarding the effect of the grip on the vital forces. "It is certainly vory serious," said he. "Dr. Clouston, whose writings occupy a place in every complete medical library, at a recent meeting of tho Royal Edinburgh Asylum of which he is superintendent spoke or the inti mate relationship between the epidemic of in fluenza, or grip, of ISManrt melancholia. Ac cording to him a great lowering of human vi tality followed the ravages of the disease, and Europe has not yet recovered its nervous tone. "I believe Dr. Clonston's stand is very well taken. 1 have had numeruus cases where the mental power was seriously impaired. Tbe grip is nearly always followed by extreme nervous exhaustion. Many patients havo de veloped strange delusions while suffering from an attack of the disease. I noted one case in particular in which there were marked cerebral rcneima, or want of blood in tbe brain. In several instance very decided maniacal symp toms were manifest I can call to mind one man in particular. He was a big, robust-looking individual, bnt was so severely affected by the grip that he developed hysteromauia, more commonly known as hysterical mania. "While all diseases attended by elevation of temperature tend to produce delirium, the mental aberration in a severe case of the grip is totally out of proportion to the amount usually manifested. In many cases tho nervous ex haustion and depression is greater on the third day with the grip than usually manifested in a case of typhoid fever li its second week. 1 find that Dr. E. C. Spitzka. an eminent au thority on insanity, who figured prominently as an expert in tbe trial of Garfield's murderer, cites several cases that came under bis obser vation where melancholia and delusions of various kinds resulted from the grip. Depressions Not Always Lasting. "While these mental depressions are often decidedly marked in severe cases of the grip, they are as a rule not lasting, aud no cases of permanent insanity have resulted to my knowl edge. Its effects on the nervous system, how ever, are very strong, and great depression of tho vital forces inevitably follows an epidemic of this disease. My patients are as a rule suf ferers from impaired nervous systems. After our epidemic here a year ago I encountered a large number of very serious cases attributable entirely to tbe grip, all of the patients having suffered with more or less severe attacks. They bad seemingly recovered from the first effects of the attack, but were unable entirely to over come the exhaustion and debility that came later." Dr. Wilev's views on thisquestionare backed up by medical men generally. There is no longer any doubt expressed by physicians as to the genuineness of the maladv which has played such havoc in and about Pittsburg dur ing the past few weeks. Home skeptical ones doubted tbe presence of anything more than severe colds last year, but such doubts have long ago given way to the conriction that the crip, of which many were inclined to think lightly, ranks well up with other diseases of an epidemic natnre, which annually carry off hundreds ot neople. The Grip on Its Way Westward. The grip, like other diseases of its kind, is decidedly migratory, and the general opinion among those who have watched its progress is that it is steadily traveling westward. This ar gument is upheld by the fact that the epi demic of last year seemed to center in New York, Philadelphia and Boston and other East ern cities. Pittsburg got it in a milder form. This year, however, the Eastern cities are prac- licauy milium, any seiiuui niamiesiaiions ot the grip, while Pittsburg. Chicago, Cincinnati and other cities more centrally situated are be ing scourged. Medical men say it is very prob able that the Western States and cities along the Pacific coast will feel tho effects of influ enza next year. To-day is "moving day", and, as stated in Tub Dispatch yesterday, many families find themselves seriously inconvenienced by sud den attacks of the grip when everything was ready for tbe change in homes. At least 100 orders for wagons from the various transfer companies about the city have been counter manded as a result of sickness. Moving day coming in the midst of the grip, this year, ought to afford an impetus to those who urge the putting ot the day further into tho season. Ordinarily April 1 and thereabout is composed of pneumonia-sort of weather, and scores of deaths follow the annual flitting, as a matter of course. This year the mortality consequent may run into the hundreds. It is true the excess may possibly be not appreci able, but to even hope so would be prepos terous. Let real estate dealers and all friends of humanity date Apnl'1, 1891. as tbe beginning of a crusade against an insensate custom, scarce even bentting an agricultural commun ity at present All day yesterday the streets were full of funeral corteges. The average of 20 under takers in the two cities yesterday was six funerals each. There is talk of raising the prices ot carriages, as those who own them know tbey can get an thing they want tor their hire. E0TJTHSIDE EC01J2QED. Sickness In Almost Every House Across the Monongahela River. The grip has still a good hold on tbe South side, and all tbe physicians report they have from 10 to 20 new cases daily. Dr. Arnbolt who has ju;t recovered from an attack, stated that be had visited 20 patients yesterday, all suffering from the disease. Dr. J. Milton Dnff is still confined to his bed, but is reported a little better. Captain William Stewart of the Third police district was on duty yesterday after a ten days' siege. Thomas R.

A number of the employes of the Pittsburg and Birmingham Traction Company have the dis ease. The family ot Joseph E. Lewis, six in number, of ML Washington, are on tte list of grip victims. In almost every bouse sickness can be found. L. F. E. Carrell. of No. 1 SHgo row, South side, has been suffering with the grip for sev eral days, but is now recovering. KEEPING UPJHE LIST. No Perceptible Decrease In. the Number of Victims of the Grip Scores of Weil Known People All Over the City III at Their Homes. The number of sick and dying in and around Pittsburg as a result of the grip is still undiminished. The remains of Mrs. J. W. Milligan, who died in Florida, arrived yesterday. The body will be buried at Swissvalo to-morrow. Mrs. Milligan was widely known in Pittsburg. Postmaster McKean is still very ill and can not leave his room for some time. Henrv M. Long is one of the latest reported victims of tbe disease. He is said to be very sick. Tbe body of Walter Ames, who died in Chicago of the grip, was taken through the city jesterday on tho way East He was the son of a Boston millionaire, and in a fit of plqne went to the Windy ity, where he soon died. His sister bad charge of the body. George Johnston, real estate dealer, who haB been in bed with a severe case of grip for more than a week, was able to sit p yesterday. He expects to be out ot doors by the time the weather settles. Alderman li. McKenna, who has been con fined to his home for some tiuie oasr. was slightly better yesterday, aud hopes to be out soun. The wife of ex-Sheriff John H. Hare, or the Twenty-eighth ward, was stricken down very suddenly with the grip yesterday, and it was feared she might not recover. ' Rev. Father Grace, of St Joseph's Church, Sfaarpshurg, is confined to his bed. The wife of County Commissioner James G. Weir is prostrated with a very severe attack. Humane Agent O'Brien has been laid up since last Saturday, and has been unable to come to the office of the society.

The grip is monarch of all it surveys in Se wickley and it snrveys almostthe entiresuburb. No one apparently has had the power to resist it, not even those who boasted of their power of mind over matter, and as a consequence strong minded men and little children alike are vic tims of the disease. In almost every household its presence is felt In many instances all the members of the family are lying lovr, frequently with no one to properly cai e for and nurse them, as neighbors and relatives are engaged in trying to care for their own families. Two More Meningitis Victims. Two more desths resulting from cerebro spinal meningitis were reported at tho Bureau of Health yestcrdaj. Tbe victims of the dis ease are- John K. Williams, accd 4 months, son ot Lewis Williams, of Mauriel street and Second avenne, and Gussy Washington, aged 4 months, sou or John Washington, or State alley. Grip Spoils a Reunion. The Executive Committee ot the Seventy, seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers' Association has decided to postpone the reunion arrange t for next Tuesday, April 10, on account;of -th.-prevalence of tho grip.

Mrs. Mary McDermott of 801 Shelby alley, Southside. was stabbed last night by her husband, Patrick McDermott, who made good his escape, and up until 11 o'clock had not been arrested. According to tbe story told tbe police, McDermott and bis wife bavo heqn at variance for some time. MrDermottat one time kept a saloon on Fourth avenue and was worth from 80,000 to 100.UC0. About three years aco McDermott became a victim of drink and was rapidly squandering his money. His wife took hold of the matter and had trustees ap pointed for the estate. About $40,000 was placed in the hands of the trustees and upon this Mrs. and Mrs. McDermott have been living. They parted a short time after she took the action and had the estate placed in other bands. Last nieht when ques tioned about the matter Mrs. McDermott said she bad applied for a divorce which was granted on lastSatnrday. Last night she met her hus band to comnlete some business arrangements. Tbey were on the road to her home and when turning in on Shelby alley off South Eighth street McDermott said to her: "Well.you have a divorce now and we are out to do for ourselves and I am determined to havo it settled at once." Saying this McDermott took a small knife from his pocket, made a plunge at her and ran. The woman fell into the street and by her screams she attracted the attention of some people who carried her into ber house. On ex amination it was found that she bad been stabbed in the abdomen. The wound was about two inches long and not very deep but caused the loss of a great deal of blood. FUNERAL OF N. F. BEED. A Large Number of Friends Attend the Service at His Home. Tbe body of N. P.

Chnrch Causes an Unpleasantness IN M0K0KGAHELA PKESBXTKRT. The Moderator Resigns Kather Than Listen to Music in Church. HE IS K0T ETEN EEQDUSTED TO RELEKT The Jlonongahela Presbytery of the United Presbyterian Church was in regular quarterly session in the Sixth TJ. P. Church, Collins avenue, East End, all day yester day. There were abont 100 delegates pres ent There were several interestingfeatures of the meeting, the most notable being an attempt to revive the old question as to the use of instrnmental music and the inconti nent resignation of the Moderater, as a re sult At the morning session, commencing at 9 o'clock, the Moderator, Rev. D. S. Littell, having called the Presbytery to order, the first business was a petition from the con gregation of Homestead, asking that n spe cial mission be created there, with an ap propriation of 600 for the ensuing year. It was granted. Then several small appro priations of from $300 to ?C00 were granted to the congregations of various places Oakdale, Mifflin, Chartiers, etc Messrs. William Hice, Boyd and R. M. Russell were elected to serve as tbe Com mittee on Finance. A call was heard from Mt. Washington for the services of Rev. R. H. Hood. It was sustained aud ordered to be forwarded to the Presbytery of Chartiers. After lunch, served in the basement of the church by the ladies of the congrega tion, the afternoon session was opened with the approval of the minutes. Wilkinsburg was chosen as the place for the next quarterly meeting, to be held ou the last Tuesday in June. Then the Moderator left the chair and offered the following resolution : Resolved. That in deference to the consci entious scruples of several members of tho Presbytery with regard to the use of instru mental music during the praise service of the Presbytery, the playing of the organ bp dis pensed with during the evening service of Pres bytery. Opposed to Doing Without the Organ. The resolution furnished a great deal of discussion, most of the members of tbe Pres bytery showing themselves decidedly op nosed'to it Nearly every one had somethine to say. and there was considerable feeling dls plaved over the matter. Rev. J. r. McCrory said, with a tinge of sar casm in his tone, that hp thought tbe opinions of the congregation were entitled to some deference. If they liked the organ, they were surely entitled to hear it. They had paid for it and they used it every Sunday. Why not to-day. Another gentleman said that the service In the evening wonld be that of the Monomrahela Presbyters-, and not of tbe Sixth United Pres byterian Church. Rev. Mr. Knox, of AVylle avenue, thought that no congregatlan or Presbytery should In vite a member tn be present at a meeting and insult him by doing that which would Injure his convictions or scrunles. Rev. J. D. Sands said that Mr. Littell, as Moderator, had the right to order such proced ure as be had suggested without tne formality of a resolution, but that Presbytery had t..e right to overrule such an order. For his parr, he wonld like to hear the'organ. He under stood that it was a very line one. and he thought it would be a pleasure tn listen to it Tho question was then put and tho resolu tion was defeated bv a vote of 19 to 7. Mr. Littell called for a division, and as that corroborated tbe defeat of tbe resolution he tendered his resignation as Moderator. The resignation was accepted, only one voico being heard for it and nono against it. Mr. Littell left the room, but returned toward the end of the session. No XAck of New Moderators Rev. Mtl Elliott, of the Sonthstd), wa elected Moderator for the ensuing year. He happened not to bo in the room just then and Mr. McCrory was chosen Moderator pro tem. Rev. J. W. Ilarsba then offered a minute on the death of N. P. Reed, high!.- eulogistic or the deceased, which was adopted. A letter was read from Messrs. Hoi man and McGiffln, setting forth that Rev. M. T. Smalley bad been unable to pay them a debt of S1S0, and asking that Presbytery prevent his f mull ing the duties of a minister of tho U. P. Church until be bad discharged bis obligation. The feeling of the members of Presbytery was that Mr. Smalley was unfortunate rather than guilty, and a committee of inquiry was appointed to look into the matter. The com mittee was as follows: Rev. J. T. McCrory and A. R. Van Fossen aud Elder Peter Dick. After a little more unimportant business Presbytery adjourned. In the ovening Rev. M. M. Patterson, of Wil kinsburg, delivered an address ot welcome, and Rev. R. M. Parton was installed pastor or the church. Ho made a row appropriate ro marks upon taking tbo pulpit. Addresses were made also by Revs. W. S. Nevens and A. R. Van Fossen. The ladles of tho church furnished lunch at noon and dinner at 6 o'clock for tbo members of tbe Presbytery, and were heartily thanked for their bountiful hospitality. HELP FOB THE COUNTY.

It is much the same with a medicine. It may present a line appearance and apparently possess every element of value when no one is sick, but prove worse than worthless when most needed. Epidemics are to medi cines what battles are. to soldiers. When a disease is epidemic it is usually much more malignant and much harder to control. Last winter influenza was epidemic. It is much the same as a very severe cold and requires precisely the same treatment. Among the numerous medicines in use for colds Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was the only one that proved a pronounced success in combatting this disease. People soon learned its value aud that it would greatly lessen the severity of the attack and prevent all dangerous consequences. Those who used itreconimendcd it to others, which brought it into great popularity. Many dealers found it necessary to telegraph their orders for the remedy in order to supply the demand. It was undoubtedly the most suc cessful treatment used during the epidemic. Whole families cured themselves and came out sound and hearty after the epidemic was over while it is well known that thou sands who used other remedies succumbed to the disease, and many others still suffer from the effects of it. Last winter's ex perience lullv demonstrated that for in fluenza as well as for a severe cold, Cham berlain's Cough Remedy is a success and that it can be relied upon even in the most severe cases. -vyau TO PROTECT DORSET SHEEP. An 'American Association of Breeders Formed at the Seventh Avenue Great Claims Made for This Brand as a Wool Producer Other Good Qualities. The American breeders of Dorset short horn sheep formed an association at the Sev enth Avenue Hotel yesterday. Forty-one breeders from all parts of the country were present and capital running into the millions was represented. T. S. Cooper, of Coopers burg, who takes a great interest in breeding fine cattle as well as sheep, was elected Presi dent, and M. A, Cooper, of Van Buren, Secre tary. The objectof the association is to protect the purity of tbe Dorset breed in America. Only breeder of this type of sheep are ailmitteTl. Great claims were made for it Its chief merits are early maturity, heavy weight and capacity to produce wool. The average yearly wool production ranges from 10 to 12 pounds, while for other sheep It Is 6 to 8. This is said to be tbe only sheep that bears lamhs early enough in the fall to be served on Christmas Day. M. A. Cooper said the sheep had been bred in England for 100 years and that Queen Victoria will have no other on her farms. The breeders ot-other brands of sheep are organized and it is a nip-and-tuck race between them. The other officers of the Association are: Vice Presidents, E. P. Bowditch, Farmington, Mass.; W. E. Tinsey. Angola, Ind. Executive Committee, J. S. Woodward, Secretary New York Board of Agriculture. Lockport; J. M. Ham, Washington Hollow, N. Y.; George E. Jones, LitcbHeld. Conn.; J. M. Wylie.

Axtell, the East End stockman, was present at tbe meeting. He promises the breeders a banquet next year. BOTH MADE BIG CLAIMS. A Disinterested Statement of Jhe Cork workers Difficulty. J. Tho point over which there has been the greatest controversy ever since the corkworx ers' strike commenced was the one relating to the number of men at work. The firm has been, curiously enongh, maintaining for sev eral days past that tbey had 310 people at work, while claiming at the same time that new bands were being engaged every day. On the other hand, the officials of tho Assembly claimed that not over 125 to 140 people have worked at any time since the strike began. To cet at the facts in the case, a Dispatch reporter visited the works yesterday, where he was permitted to go through the factory and count the hands. He was accompanied by Mr. C. D. Armstrong, df the firm, who said be was willing to make an affidavit to his claim of 310. According to the reporter's count however, the number tell about CS short. This proves the most natural thing possible that both sides had been claiming just a little more than their share. In one ronm. known as Reed's punching room, where there are 58 machines, there was the full quota of hands 91 men and boys. In all oftbe other departments there were a few bands at work, but only two or three presented an aspect of activity. Mr. Armstrong said he expected 15 more new employes to-day. There were no new developments yesterday. The men are still hopeful and claim that since they got over last Sunday without a break they have bright prospects of winning. A COMMITTEE ON FLAK.

At their new quarters they will have abundance of room. Officials Were Ham, The directors of the Columbia Iron and Steel Company met yesterday for, tbe purpose, pre sumably, to consider tbe sale of their plant to an English syndicate.

My child had croup some years ago, and we used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy with perfect success; siuce then we have never been without these medicines in our house. I had a cousiu who was a printer and was employed in a job office in this city, where tbey were printing circulars for Chamberlain. He had a deep-seated cold and a terrible cough, and while setting up the copy he made up his mind to buy a bot tle. It cured his cough, and that was tne first time I ever knew anything of Cham berlain's remedies. I have been strongly in their favor ever since. My own experi ence and that of my family convinces me that these remedies are the best in the world.
