of the Late War.
THE PEKXSYLVANIA. RESERVES.
Talks and Reminiscences About the Exploits
, of Those Far-Famed, Fear
lcss.Fighters, DRAFTED FOE THREE IEAES' SEETICE,
Wlib Licoln Wu Ciuing Out Veluteen for Only u
Ksjy Months.
Union Veteran Legion No. 6 has a new
plan to increase the attractions of its meet
ing nights. Chairman J. II. SteTenson, of
the Entertainment Committee, has mapped
out a series of talks on various military or
ganizations of the late war, one of which is
to be taken up at each meeting. Last
night was the first of these. The veterans
assembled in their new hall on Third street,
Allegheny, and spent several hours ex
chjn;in; reminiscences and'informal talks
on the famous Pennsylvania Reserves.
Owing to the change of meeting place there
were not as many present as had been ex
pected, but there were enough to make the
evening a very pleasant one. Old soldiers
delight in getting together and brightening
their memories on incidents of the war. By
confining the talk to one subject Union No.
6 hopes to get more benefit out of these dis
cussions. Mr. Stevenson opened the entertainment
last evening. He began by commenting on
the peculiar fact that the Revolutionary,
Mexican and Civil wars all began in the
month of April, so that the anniversaries of
the three came very near together.
Governor Curtln' Little Flan.
Mr. Stevenson While President Lincoln
was calling for' volunteers for three months'
service Governor Curtin had conceived an
other plan. Believing that the war would
sot be settled in three months he de
cided to get together 13 regiments
of Pennsylvanians to be used as a reserve
force. There were 13 regiments of infantry,
one cavalry and one artillery. The men were
enlisted lor three years. The "Pennsylva
nia Reserves," as they werf called, were the
first soldiers of the war w"ho mustered for snch
long service. When the first battle of Bull
Run took place the Reserves were scattered
ail over the State Had it been otherwise
the result of that battle would have been
different. At the battle of Fredericksbutg
the Reserves turned the flank of the rebels,
but they were unsupported, and the battle
was lost. The Army of the Potomac was
characterized by such mistakes. Men were
not centered enough on a battle, and the
part of the army that bore the brunt of the
fight was not supported by the other forces.
General McClelland himself was never
present at any of the battles on the "Penin
sula." Comrade Thomas Hood spoke next, dwell
ing at considerable length on tne important
engagements the Reserves figured In and the
valiant service thei performed
One of the Hardest of All rights.
Comrade John Beers I was with the Penn
sylvania Reserves at Mechamcsville, which
vas one of the hardest-fought battles of the
war. There was a perfect blazoofCre and
we were so blinded by smoke we could
scared see each other. At Charles City Cross
roads tne Reserves .iam figured prominently
in a hind-tn-hind fight with the rebels, and
they never flinched. I rrissed South Mountain
and Antietam, but was at Fredericksburg,
wbeie we charged the heights. Brigauier Gen
eral Jackson was witn us, hut when "stone
wall" Jackson dime us back he was killed.
Colonel Jackson then took his place. It was
considered remarkable that these three Jack
sons rhould come together that way.
Yt e had them whipped there, and If the re
Serves had been properly supported we would
hate taken the heights. At Coal Haibor two
members of our company were killed on the
verv day their service time was up. As if aid
before. I missed two big battles boardlnc with
the rebels at the Richmond prison. Poople
talk of Pickett's great charge at Gettysburg.
It was no greater than ours at Fredericksburg.
Captain Stewart, of onr company, was the first
man killed, and out of 30 members of the com
pan onl G remained alive after it. Ihe Penn
sylvania Reserves made one of the best bodies
of military in the country.
Couirado Charles M. Greene It lias been
charged that lew fathers urged their sons to go
to war This is wrong. In good old Demo
cratic Westmoreland count I know of a great
many fathers u ho advised their sons to join the
arrrn. My father was one of them. Mothers
were the samo way, and swectnearts ton. I
remember one sad case where the betrothed of
a vonug ma-n I knew said to him: "Tour country
needs sou more than I do." Ue went to the
war and was killed. A few weeks later she
died of a broken heart.
An Interrupted Little Jag.
There was some talk at this point abont a
peculiar feature of the battle at Fair Oaks. A
Iew York regiment had lust come In from 4S
hours' picket duty, and was getting its rations
of whisky, when the rebels rnshed in on them
and spoiled the drink. Comrade Beers spoke
tor a time .taking exception to the criticism of
General McCIellan. whom he claimed had been
fiequentl) wronged. If McClelland bad kept
out of politics ho would have been all right.
Comrade fetevenson One peculiar feature of
tho Pennsylvania Reserves was that the di
sision was made upentirelvof Pennsylvanians.
It was the custom lu the Uuion army to make
nu the brigades from various States, and the
Refers cs were about the only exception to this
rule. On the other hand, the rebels kept their
various States distinct m different brigades.
This was the better policy, as it created a sort
of fetate pride iu the men. The eyes of all
Pennsxlvania were on the Reserves. All the
men were from the same locality, and for that
reaonlarge!vthey were more effective and
were used in important places. They occupied
the left flank in the second battle at Bull Run.
Comrade Greene I think it would have been
better to have not scattered regiments from
the bima btate among various brigades. Vc
hear great talk about Pickett's famous charge,
but tne charge of the One Hundred and Thirty
ninth Regiment ot the Sixth Army Corps at
Spottst lvania court house exceeded it. Pickett
had an open held, while we had to charge the
bloody angle through brush.
Btopped "When They Reached Gettysburs:
Comrade Beers The Pennsylvania Reserves
were seattered about Washington the first day
of Gettysburg. We got over into Mar land
and took the Baltimore pike. We could hear
the cannon at Gettysburg. JO miles away, and
never stopped two hours till we got there. As
we passed through Hanover the women came
out and handed us food as we marched bv.
We charged the "Bucktails" at Little Round
Top and saved the day there.
Comrade Greene There have been some
mistakes made in placing ihe monuments at
Gettysburg. The On: Hundred and Twenty
ninth Regiment should have been placed
where the One Hundred and Fifty.firth is.
Comrade Hood At the battle of Antietam a
remarkable thing occurred. Four color bear
ers of the ftinth Regiment were shot down,
one after another, finally a little Irishman
Seized the flag, lay flat down and held it up.
He escaped uninjured.
Comrade Greene It was remarkable how
some men believed they conld never be killed.
One man in my own company often declared
that no bullet was ever molded to hit him. At
Spottsvlvama be was picked up after the bat
tle with 11 balls in him.
At the next meeting night some other sub
ject will be taken up for discussion, and a large
attendance is expected.
AIK SHIPS A POSSIBILITY.
Trof. Langley Says the Necessary Power Can
Be Obtained.
Prof. S. P. Langley, of the Smithsonian In
stitute, has read a paper before the National
Academy of Science at Washington on the
subject of flying machines, in which he treats
of a series of experiments made at the Alle
gheny Observatory.
He says he found that the power required to
suspend a body when in motion was less when
In motion than when ltwasstandingstill. From
this and other experiments he believes that the
amount of power required for flight was at
tainable by the eieara engines now in use.
SCARCITY SUGAR.
The Great Demand for Sweetening- Without
Tariff Prevents a Decline in Trices
Barrels Bought by Thoso Who Used to
Get It In Dollar Worth.
The sudden cheapening of sugar and re
ports sent out a week or two ago that the
bugles of the Havemyers et al, sugar re
finers, and theirquondam enemy, Spreckcls,
had sounded a truce and the obsequies or the
hatchet were in progress, bare caused a
panic among consumers, and James Flood
states that never beiore have there been snch
large siles of sugar at this season of the year.
He sajs that the sales in this city have been at
least three times what they usually are at this
season of the year, and that the samo ratio
holds all over the country and that the enorm
ous demand has prevented a drop fn price.". It
is true that sugars are selling 2 cents a pound
below the price previous to April 1, but that is
only the abatement of tariff, and had it not
been for the extraordinary purchases, there
would have been a drop.
The sustaining of price has not benefited
jobber'; in fact, they have been selling on
smaller margin than before the duty was taken
off, but the refiners have been gamers, as the
demand has enabled them to get foil prices.
There is no reason why a farmer should buy a
pound moreugar than Is needed for ordinary
cullnarv purposes as there is no fruit to can In
anv part ot the country save an unreasoning
fear of higher prices, lint the farmer has been
buying a barrel of sugar where formerly he
bought a dollar's worth at a time, and tho
family that formerly purchased two or threo
pounds at a timo has been buying a dollar's
worth at one sitting, and tho aggregate sales
have been enormous. Ihe idea of get
ting 21 pounds of granulated sugar for
a dollar also seems to have had an
intoxicating effect oa inanv people, and
they bought the dollar's worth In order to as
sure themselves that the drop was not an il
lusion. As the substance is fattening, its sweetness
will not all be wasted on the desert air. hut
there is a prospect that some people will satiate
themselves s that they will not crave much
saccbarinlty for a time.
Country dealers have been at their wits' end
to supply the requisition. Some of them have
bad but little other use for the mails and tele
graph but to order more and more sugar,
though their first purchase aftT the month
opened was supposed to be a sufficient stock to
last until canning time.
In England low-grade sugars have been found
profitable food for cattle, being fattening, and
when water is well sweetened and poured over
coarse food that cattle ordinarily reject with
disgnsr, they will eat it, with avidity. The
sugar fattens and the coarse -straw gives the
necessary distensiou and also some nourish
ment. In the present carcity ot corn clie.ip
sugar might be substituted with profit, and
thereby a low grade of hay made pleasant de
glutition. TOOK THEIR DIPLOMAS.

Gniseppe llanzello Fatally Injured by
a Colored Officer.
MATTHEW BELL UKDER ARREST.
Baldj O'Brien Beats His Wife Over
Head With a Beer Bottle.
the
PECDLIAE HEAEIXGS BT AIDEEMEN
Gniseppe Manzello wearied of waiting for
his supper. He went out of the house to
kill time, but was clubbed by a colored
police officer, went to the West Penn Hospi
tal and died yesterday. The officer is under
arrest.
Jlanzello was born in Avotino, Naples, 40
years ago. Two years since he, with his sis
ter Maria, came to this country, and went to
Mahoning. Guiseppe obtained employment
as a laborer, while his sister, who is many
years younger than he, became a domestic.
Gniseppe and his sister had an ambition,
and that was to return to Naples, which has
been declared the loveliest spot on earth,
with enough money to enable them to sup
port themselves with some degree of com
fort. Both were industrious and saving,
and were rearing their goal when, three
weeks ago, work slackened up,and Guiseppe
came to this city to secure work. He went
to Angelo Sabill's boarding honse, No. SI
Washington street, where a number of his
fellow-countrymen stop while looking for
work.
Killed While Waiting for Snpper.
On the afternoon of the 13th inst., Gni
seppe felt hungry, and the appetizing odor
of the cooking supper emphasized his pangs,
so he determined to tike a wall: and inci
dentally gossip with snch of bis friends as be
might meet. He walked out onto Wylie ave
nue and there found a dozen or two of bis
countrvmen standing on the sidewalk. They
stood chatting a few minutes when Officer
Matthew Bell came up and ordered them to
move on. The men nnderstood English imper
fectly and hesitated
Bell called upon Officers Robert Baglcy and
Charles Allen, both of whom are also colored,
and proceeded to arrest the crowd. The patrol
wagon was sent for and 11 men taken to the
Central station. There they were registered
as Guiseppe Manzello, Nicola Cardclio, Frank
Compson. Tomaso Samena, John Pedro, Christ
Marina, Anthony Condello. Antonia Derrardo,
Chirari tfenitora, Conando Vitero and Augus
tine Caragio. Iu the morning they paid small
fines and were released.
JVIanzello Sent to the Hospital.
On the day after the arrest Manzello went to
the office of Dr. Jacobs, Webster avenue, to
have a wound on the back of his head dressed
The physician saw that the scalp was cut, but
was unable at that time to determine If the
skull was fractured. The next day Guiseppe's
mind began to wander, and it was at once scon
that he needed careful treatment and good
nursing. A number of his countrymen clnlibed
together, raided 20 and sent him to the West
Penn Hospital, where it was found that bis
skull was fractured. Before Guiseppe went to
tho hospital he told Dr. Jacobs that a tall black
policeman bad pounaed him over the head with
nis mace.
Guiseppe died last evening, erysipelas being
tho immediate cause of death. As soon as the
death was reported Coroner McDowell and
Grant Miller began an investigation of the
case and found ten Italians who claim they saw
the assault. The Coroner at once notified the
police tq arrest Officer Bell, but the latter beard
he was wanted, and went to the Coroner's
office, where he surrendered himself.
Officer Bell Positively Identified.
Augustine Coragio, DoraemaDantonla, Pietro
and Angelo Clapps ana Rocco Sablll, the little
son of tho boarding bouse keeper, positively
identified Bell as the officer who clubbed Man
zello. A number of Italians were in the office
at the time, and the (lark looks they cast at the
officer, while they muttered toeachother.made
it appear at onetime is if ho was lu danger of
being assaulted there and then. Bell was dis
armed of his revolver, and taken to Central
station bv Officer David Hanna.
Bell claims he did not use his mace on the
night of the arrest, and he further alleges that
he did not arrest Manzello at all. He says he
was assisted in tne arrest by umcers unaries
Allen and Robert Bagley, and doesn't know
whether they clubbed anv of tho men or not,
but is very positive that be did not.
Some of the Italians sa) thero were only two
officers. Bell and Allen, while others corrobor
ate Bell's statement that there were three, but
the Coroner has decided that ho will not re
quire the arrest of the other two unless there
are new developments.
Matthew Bell has been on the police force,
off and on, for several years, likewise Officer
Bagley. Allen is a new man, and but little is
known about him. lie. andBell were suspended
on Tuesdayby Inspector McAleese for clubbing
a colored man whom they arrested for shooting
at another man on Poplar alley last Monday.
The inquest will be held to-morrow morning.

PITTSBURG DISPATCH,
BOTH LOSTJHE DOG.
Solomonic Decision of a Lawrenceville
Alderman A Man Accused of Stealing
His Own Pap The County Fays the
Costs of the Case.
A queer case of mistaken ownership de
veloped yesterday in Alderman McNeirney's
office. It was at the hearing in the larceny
snit of Bobert Campbell, engineer at the
Lucy f nrnace, against John Redman. Camp
bell claimed that .Redman bad stolen a valu
able dog from him. The evidence showed that
there was about as much grievance on one side
as the other, and that in reality Rdman was
on trial for stealing his own property.
According to the evidence the accused form
erly lived in Temperaneeville. Sometime ago
he moved into the Eighteenth ward, taking
with him the dog in question. The animal did
not like a change of abode and ran away.
Campbell found it later, took it borne and
adorned it with a nice collar. All went welt
for five weeks, during which time Campbell
kept the dog. which apparently had no other
owner. Redman, however, was on the lookont
for his pet, arid seeing it one day on the street,
took it home with him.
It was three weeks beforo Campbell learned
what had become of the dog. When bo did
bear he went at once to Redman and demanded
the animal. The latter refused to give him
anything but the collar, as the dog belonged to
himself. Campbell, nnder the conviction that
the dog had Deeu stolen, entered the suit above
mentioned.
After listening to both sides the Alderman
decided to settle the matter by discharging the
case, putting the costs on tho county, and
ordering Constable Rodcers to put a hnllet
tlirnujTli the Innocent rattan of 'all the trouble.
Mr. Redman is still very indignant about hav
Ine been charged with the larceny of his own
dog, but he is satisfied with tho decision.
CHARGED WITH BIOT.
Nineteen Boys. Arrested for Fighting, Dis
charged for Lack of Evidence.
For some time past the yardmen of the Penn
sylvania Railroad have been troubled by a
number of boys between Fourteenth and Eigh
teenth streets, who have used the railroad as a
battle ground with the boys of tho Twelfth
ward. The fights seriously interfere with the
crews at work In the yards. They attempted to
drive the boys away, but both sides combined
forces and drove the railroad men off. using
stones and flobert rifles. Special Officer Hough
ton preferred a charge of riot before Alder
man Kerr against 19 of the boys, whose names
are as followsiThomas Herd, George TV. Steele,
Stewart Mertz, William McCann, Morris and
Bartley Coffey, Joseph and William Loder,
Michael A Ford, John Grader. Michael Elli
cott, Archie Long, Peter and John Kunipft,
John Tess, James Hogan, William Hoffman,
James Graham and James Hesslng.
At th hearing last evening tbey were all dis
charged because there was not sufficient evi
dence to convict. Officer Houghton will re
enter the suits and have the railroad employes
prosent as witnessos.

Exciting Experience of an Old Iiady Living
at Boston.
George Amalong, Griffin Amalong an'd
Henry Harper are in jail and each is nnder
charges of burglary, highway robbery and ag
gravated assault made by Susan Pierce, against
them before 'Squire W. J. Douglass of Boston.
Miss Pierce resides a short distance from
Boston, and the defendants are accused of
entering ber house through a window on Sun
day night last. When it became known Jhat
the men were in the house she ran out into tho
yard, followed by the men, who attacked her
and took a pocketbook containing S10 80. The
men all live in the neighborhood and were
identified by Miss Pierce.
When they were brought to jail last night

JOINING THE RANKS.
Hodcarriers Decide to strike To-Day
Where Lockouts Were Ordered.
A SENSATION AMONG THE HEN.
Adjutant General McClelland Talks Abont
the World's Fair.
MISCELLANEOUS LNDOSTEIAL ITEMS
The building trades difficulties are begin
ning to assume a decidedly active and inter
esting shape. Ttre hod-carriers met last
night and decided to call off all their men
to-day who are employed on buildings
where the stonemasons are locked out The
bricklayers held a meeting to discuss meth
ods by which they can get their craft out of
their present dilemma, and the Painters'
District Council met to discuss the situation.
A sensation was created yesterday by tbe
announcement that a number of firms will
discharge all their carpenters a day or two
before May 1. He discovered in some way
that Oj clause in the constitution of the
Brotherhood provides that after a strike has
been on a week the men will be entitled to
certain strike benefits. But if the men are
discharged any time previous to the strike the
opportunity to strise, as well as their right to
benefits, is removed.
Excitement Among the Carpenters.
When this news became circulated among
the carpenters it created considerable conster
nation. Many of them talked as though the
plans might be changed again so as to head off
such a move on the part of the master
builders. One of them said: "The employers
would have a nice time enforcing such a policy
as that. They think our men wonld get no
benefits if tbey disci arged ns, and that we can
not endure a lockout if we do not get any money.
I guess the Brotherhood would support us in
such a case, becanse it would be well known to
be only a j-chemc on their part."
The bricklayers held a largely attended meet
ing In Lafayette Hall last nubt. They are not
affiliated in any way by the building trades,
bnt have an independent international union
and have always succeeded in settling their
own difficulties. This year they had f jir pros
pects of getliug their advance without any
trouble when the other disturbances began.
Of course, they will be locked ont May 1. but so
far as tbey are personally concerned it will be
for no reason.
The stonemasons and plasterers are talking
of demanding eight hours in case the threat
ened lockout occurs. Tbe latter will only be
satisfied with eight hours or J3 50 a day, tbe
wages now paid for nine hours' work.
borne indignation was expressed yesterday
because of tbe fact that the Bnlldin Trades'
Coqncil has so far failed to follow the spirit of
the resolution passed at that body last Satur
day evening.
Interference With Building Operations.
The depressing effects of a strike bavo al
ready begun to show themselves in the trades,
and in all lines ot business as well. There are
a large number of expensive buildings going
up that will be brought to a standstill Mayl,
when tho strike occurs. Amonz the larger ones
are tbe Jenkinson buildings. Liberty street;
the Arbuthnot buildings, Penn avenne; the
Magee building. Fourth avenue: tbo Danler
building. Smithfield street; the Weldin build
ings on Wood street, and the Greger building,
corner La cock and Federal streets, Alle
gheny. Mr. Trimble is tho contractor
for the latter building and has the foundation
nearly ready for the structure. Work has been
ruhed on a number of large building and they
will be completed bv.Mavl. GeorzeS. Fuluier
bid the contract for George Kappel'g new
music establishment. Fortunately the work
will be all done before tbe strike occurs.
Tbe borough of Edgewood will be put to an
inconvenience on the erection of their new
scboolhouse. which the citizens hoped wonld
nave oeen compieteu lortne beginning ot the
next term. Martsalf Bros. & Co., of New
Brighton, have the contract for 20.000, and tbe
excavations have already been made.
C. G. Dixon has a hard contract on his bands
on Beaver avenue. Alteghonv. He has tho
stables of the Short Line Street Railway and
his men struck on him yesterday. Mr. Dixon
was seen last night and he said ho would put
over 40 Hungarians at work this morning, and
when bis work Is all done, be will give np his
business rather than yield a point to the
men. Among other bnildings where work will
cease Mav 1 are the Newells and Kaufmann
Bros, on Diamond alley and Fifth avenue, re
spectively. Other interesting developments are expected
from all sides to-day.
f
KO C0KTRACTS ABE LET.
Adjntant General McClelland Talks Abont
the World's Fair.
Adjutant General William McClelland is in
the city. In speaking of tbe contract for plate
glass for the World's Fair, said to have been
awarded to the Howard Plate Glass Company,
the General said: "I do not know anything
abont it, I had not heard that any contracts
had been awarded. They bave a serious strlKe
in Chicago now, and it is difficult to say when
anything in tho way of awarding such contracts
will be done."
Colonel H. H. Howard, when seen, denied
that any contracts had been received by his
companv. "We bave not yet bid on anv of the
work. When tbe work is let we do not expect to
get it all. There will he more plate glass used
than any one firm in the country could turn
out."
INCEEASED HIS DUTIES.
Immigrant Inspector Layton Given Some
Moro Work to Do. ,
R. D. Layton, the immigrant inspector, has
bad his duties Increased. Heretofore he has
only been required to look ont for violations of
the contract labor law. Recently tbe matter
ofwatcbing all through trains, securing tbo
number of immigrants that pass through the
city, their nationality, their destination, what
they expect to do and all such points of in
terest, has been added to his duties, and he is
required to make stated reportson this work.
Mr. Layton's time is required at the depots
constantly and he has therefore practically
abollsheu his office.
REFERRED TO A COMMITTEE.
Southslde Dealers Asked to Close Their
Stores at G O'Clock.
The retail dealers of tbe Southside met at the
store of John J. Freund last evening to decldo
whether or not they would close at 6 o'clock.
The Knights of Labor Were represented by
Master Workman Derapsey, C. I. Groms and
Messrs. Greene & Rambler of L. A. 4007.
The Knights of Labor requested that all
stores be -closed at 6 P. M., after which the
dealers discussed tbe question, and a commit
tee was appointed to visit all the dealers on tho
Sonthside and induce them to sign the agree
ment, WILL 8H0RTLY BE REVIVED.
T. J. O'Lcary's Opinion of the Window
Glass Trade of the Country.
T. J. O'Leary, Jr., said yesterday that the
American Window Glass Company would cer
tainly be revived early in the fall. Tbe trade
has not been in such a dilapidated condition
for years, and it is the Impression that tbe only
way to maintain prices when the trade does re
vive, is to reorganize the company.
Mr. O'Leary does not think there will be any
action taken until after tbe summer shutdown.
An Injunction and a Receiver Wanted.
A bill in equity was filed yesterday by J. H.
Welch, Thomas Maxwell and J. II. Gloniger
against John Palmer. Tbe parties are opera
tors ot a firebrick works organized in JSS1, but
by resolution dissolved In January last, Tho
defendant, it Is alleged, refuses to agree to the
apportloumcnt of tbe profits, and an injunction
is asked for to restrain him from collecting any
outstanding accounts, and a receiver to wind
up the affairs of the company.
Work Will Be Delayed.
Work was stopued yesterday on the Amuse
ment Hall, formerly tbe Grand Central Rluk,
owing to it being in the bands of anon-nnlon
contractor. J. W. Bankson, the owner of the
patent sled arrangements. Is a stranger in tbe
rlty, and knew nothing abont tbe contractor
when the bid was received. Tbe delay in tbo
work will delay the opening a few days.
t Warehousemen In Trouble. i
Warehousemen's Assembly No, 7190, K. of
L., held a special meeting last night to consider
a report that Arbuckle & Co. had discharged
two union men and retained two non-union
men. A committee was appolnteu to call on
tbe firm and report the result at the regular
meeting to-morrow night. ,
Electricity In Mines.
The State commission for the revision, of the
s
mining laws will continue the duenssio'n of
electricity for lighting purposes in the mines.
Mortis Mead and other electricians addressed
the commission yesterday. The drift of the
sentiment is against the use of naked wires In
the mines.
RIVER OPERATORS OUT OF IT.
Why They Don't Worry Abont the Eight
Hoar Agitation Most of Their Men
Not Now Working Anjr Longer Will
ing to Pay by the Hoar.
Biver operators are not perturbed regard
ing the forthcoming strike by miners for
eight hours. Tbey don't expect that their
men will join in tbe cry; and the reasons
they advance for this belief are based on strong
grounds. In the first place, river miners aro'
not now working any more than eight hours,
and. in tho next, the proportion of tbe
mining population which Is paid "by
tbe day is only 10 per cent of
tho whole. Operators are not inclined to
think that 90 per cent ot the workers will quit
work to enable the other 10 per cent to gain its
point. Again, liver miners receive more for
their work than tbe railroad men do, since
they receive S cents per bushel or 02 cents per
ton In the first three pools, and i cents or 78,
cents per ton in the fourth against rates vary-'
ing ironi 65 to 79 paid elsewhere.
Fourth miners are able to earn more
money at 3 cents than tho miners
in the other pools can at fyi cents becanse the
veins are higher and" moro easily worked. An
other point which operators calculate on as
being a factor of consideration with tbe river
miners in relation to the eight-hour strike. Is
that tbe diggers mnst recognize that If they
adopt an eight-hour day tbey mnst tie them
selves to work certain hoars. Tbe practice of
tbe diggers to-day is to begin work at uncer
tain hours, labor as long or as short a tirreas
they please and then knock off.
Credit for Being Consistent.
Operators give the men credit for being, at
the least, consistent, and they expect that it
they adopt an eight-hour day that they will
work for that period, and within stated hours,
so as to facilitate the employment of the day
labor. If the men adopt 8 hours tbey must
limit themselves to time, andtoperators are not
inclined to believe they will give np their free
dom and make slaves of themselves.
The chief reason advanced by river as well as
railroad operators against the short bonr day is
that it will reduce their output by 20 per cent,
and this tbey say tbey cannot afford. The out
side workers labor for ten hours a day, and it is
necessary, the operators say, they should so as
to handle tbe coal mined in eight hours, be
cause of the irregular time worked by the dig
gers. If they were to reduce the day's work of
tbe day laborers to eight hours, it would mean
a reduction of just So mnch in the output, or 20
per cent. This is a reduction in their earnings
which the diggers would most strenuously kick
against, and lc would follow, necessarily, for
although tbey might work as bard as tbey do
now, tbey could not send out any more coal
than conld be handled within eight hours.
Respecting the railroad mine operators, while
they hold similar views with tbeir river
brethren, tbe conditions are somewhat differ
ent. In this district tbey are not a few mines
wbich are operated on special scales, as, for In
stance, tbe New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
Company's mines, which pay from 72 to 71 cents
per ton, against 79 cents, ruling generally in
the districts. It is very possible that no strike
will occur in these mines, and other operators
will hardly stand by and see theirnelgbbors get
their trade without seeking some means ot
compromising tbe difficulty.
Willing to Pay by the Hoar.
Both river and rail operators are willing to
pay tbeir outside help by the honr Instead of
by the day, and at rates proportionate to what
is now being paid for ten hours work. This
plan would enable both diggers and laborers to
work as long or as short a time as they wished,
their earnings being in direct ratio with tbeir
bours of toil. When tbe matter comes to a
settling point it is likely that tbe dlfhoulty will
bo compromised on this basis.
Local manufacturers will be very little more
than inconvenienced by a strike or the railroad
miners. Coal can be shipped from river points
and unloaded at places adjacent to mills on
either river. No effort has beei made here to
stock up against a posible famine in May,
chiefly owing to lack of room in the mills, but,
rovidcd tho river miners do not strike and it
i not believed they will manufacturers will
have plenty of coal. The few railroad operat
ors who sbip East expect a larger trade after
May 2, as tbe supplies from tbe Clearfield and
Maryland districts will have been shut off.
When Afay 1 his come and gone there will be
found many more men at work in these re
gions than the labor officials declare shall not.
LOOKING FOR A FACTOR? SITE
In
Which to Conduct a Process That Hag
Considerable Mystery About It.
A new industry was started yesterday, of
rather an old one was revived, and one which,
while dealing with the small matter ot glafta
paper weights, containing advertisements and
photographs, carried Pittsburg's fame all over
this country and Europe1. Tbe process has for
years been guarded as a great mystery, but one
man possessing the secret. Two companies
were organized, one at Rochester, Pa., and the
second at Cbartiers. The factory of the- first
company burned down, and that wonnd np tbe
concern.
Tbe Barnes & Abrams Manufacturing Com
pany, of Rochester, N. Y., a few days ago
secured the original .patents, and commenced
work in this city yesterday with about 50 em
ployes. The work is now divided up between
two or three glass factories, but tbe company
is looking for a site and will build a factory
this summer, when tbey will increase their
force.

Difference In the Taxable Property or a City
When the Assessor Goes Around and
When There Are Bonds to Sell J rut a
Few Millions Found.
The city of McKeesport wants to sell
$25,000 worth of school bonds, and consider
ing that they are to run 25 years, and pay i
percent iuterest,clear of tax.no trouble is an
ticipated in getting them afloat, especially as
the value of tbe city, above Its present indebt
edness, is llfl times the amount 'it wants to bor
row. But this abundant prosperity makes the city
of McKeesport'a shining target for criticism,
as showing the inequalities of taxation, and
has furnished a fruitful theme for assessment
revisionists. It mnst be counted to the credit
of the wide-awake people of the city that they
are keenly alive not only to tbe talk that an
advertisement puttingforth tbe fact sets afloat,
but that they have for years protested against
such flagrant discrimination. Unfortunately
they are in a minority, but should tbe asesv
ment revision bill in the Legislature bear fruit
they mav come out on toD yet.
A county official stated yesterday that when
McKeesport wanted to place bonds, it fonnd it
was worth $,30,000,000: but when the Assessor
went around in 1890. leas that t6.000.000 worth of
property was found. Here is the statement of
the Assessors, furnished last year to the Coun
ty Commissioners:
First Ward I2.S00565
Second Ward ; 1.677,280
Third Ward 1.720,390
Total JS.701.235
An examination of the Assessor's book shows
that a certain land syndicate, or company,
owns some hundreds of lots that are assessed
at S23 each, and one who lives not far from the
property, and wbo speaks as one having
antbority. and not as the scribes, states that
the lowest price at wbich any of the lots have
been sold is SCoO. and that tbe average price
realized on all sold has been 5750, so that those
sold have been assessed at 3 per cent of their
sellinc valne.
It is safe to say that the purchasers of the
school bonds advertised will bave abundant
security for tbeir investment, even if tbey do
come iu after the city's present indebtedness of
8113.000.
