The Coroner's jury yesterday held Low"
k den Martin for the killing of Nicholas
Spielman, in McKeesport. The affair in
directly resulted from the big strike now on
hand. Martin is a painter by trade, and on
April 30 was at work on a house when
Spielman, who was a carpenter, came up.
It was just the day before the carpenters'
strike and Spielman was enthusiastic over
the fight for eight hours. He thought the
painters should strike too, and was very
free to express his views on that point.
Martin thought differently and a quarrel
ensued between the two men, resulting in
Spielman being hit on the head with a large
piece of wood. He fell to the ground and
his bead struck a block of flagstone.
Spielman lingered for a week, but stead
ily grew worse and died yesterday morning
shortly after 1 o'clock. Acting Coroner
McKenna and Clerk Gran; Sillier went to
McKeesport yesterday and held tue inquest.
Didn't Know His Murderer's 'ame.
Peter Spielman, the father of the de
ceased, was the first witness. He testified
that his son was 24 years of age. All he
knew of the circumstances of the case was
what his son had told him. The latter did
not know the came of the man who hit him,
but he knew he was one of the painters at
work on the house of William Slrachani,
East Park, McKeesport.
Elizabeth Baumgartner, sitter of the dead
man, said he had described his assailant to
her, and the description answered :o that of
Martin.
Prank Thomas, a painter, was at work at
the house when the affair occurred. Spiel
man when became up said to Martin: "I
suppose you painters will go out with us."
Martin replied that they would not. At
this Spielman began to swear, and Martin
ordered him off the porch. He obeyed, but
kept on talking back. Martin became
enraged and threw a brick, which struck
Spielman on the arm. The latter picked
up a club; but Martin took it away from
him and hit him with it. They then
clinched and Spielman was thrown to the
ground.
Ellsworth Mills, another painter, corro
borated this statement.
Tue Kxact Cause of Death.
Br. Black testified that death resulted
from congestion of the brain, caused by a
blow on the head with a blunt instrument.
Robert Sodachnst saw the fuss, but aid not see
Martin hit Spielman with a club. Neville
Strachara testified to having met Spielman
after the trouble The deceased tola him a
painter had hit him.
Robert Lowry, a carpenter, was across the
street at the time, bplelinan was swearing at
Martin anil daring him to come down off the
porch. Martin soon accepted the challenge,
and during the Cght that followed hit Spiel
man on the head with a board.
Lowden ilartin, the accused, took the stand
and told the storv about as given by the prev
ious witnesses. He was angered by Spielman's
language and threats. Alter mey got through
fighting the woucd on Spielman's head was
dressed, and nobody thought it was serious.
Spielman himself remarked that the trouble
was all his own fault.
This ended the testimony. The jury was out,
but ten minutes and rendered a verdict to the
effect tbat Spielman came to his death from
the effects of a blow from a stick in the hands
of Martin and a tall on the flagstones, and that
the blow was struck with felonious intent. The
Coroner held him for court on the chare, of
murder. His counsel will make application to
court for his release on bail.
Martin has a wife and children, and bears a
good reputation. He was brought to Pitts
burg yenerday afternoon and lodged in the
county jail.

KREIG G0ESTO JAIL
The German Batcher Who Threw Pepper
In the Eyes of Bridget Cavanangh
racked Up to Await the Result ol Her
Injuries A Hearing Later.
Iiorenz Kreig, who threw a handful of
cayenne pepper into the eyes of Bridget
Cavanangh at the Hotel Scblosser Wednes
day night, was not given a hearing yester
day morning. It was thought better to await
the result of the girl's injuries before acting on
his case. He was kept In Central station all
morning. In the afternoon Inspector McAleese
preferred a charge of aggravated assault
against him before Alderman McKenna. Krelg
was committed to jail for a hearing.
Miss Cavanaughs condition did not change
much yesterday, and whether she will ever be
ablo to see Is still a question. Bandages were
kept over her eyes all day. They are terribly
burned and discolored. Kreig expressed some
regret at the result of what he terms his hasty
action. He is not an unpleasant looking man,
of German descent and heavy ser.
Inspector McAlecs says he will see that
Kreig gets well prosecuted. If Miss Cava
naugh loses her sight, the Inspector will likely
prefer a more serious charge against the of
fender. "Anv man who would bo gnilty ot such a
cowardly trick," said the Inspector, "deserves
nothing short ot tho penitentiary. For a big,
strong fellow like him to injure a woman in
such a terrible way Is disgusting to every
body." The affair created a great deal of talk about
the city yesterday, the general verdict being
that the cuilty man should receive the full ex
tent of tho law.

One of the men was Sherman. Suddenly
Sherman disappeared in the house. Weidman
followed him in about 10 minutes, and dis
covered Sherman had changed his clothes.
Upon asking him where he was going, he
answered "Down to the tipple, to see If "we are
going to work to-morrow."
After Sucrrrun had been gone for some time
Weidman began to think it strange for him to
change his clothes to go to see about his work,
and then be thought of his money. On going
to his trunk he discovered that 5380 he had in
it was gone. Heat once concluded that Sher
man had taken it, and took the first train for
the city.
Upon arriving at Birmingham station be saw
Sherman on the platform and started after
him. Sherman endeavored to get away, bnt he
was captured and searched. On his peison
was found $370 75, which Weidman identified

mained in the city over night, so he could ap
pear against Sherman this morning.

Parks, holds substantiall the views expressed
in The Dispatch yesterday, though he goes a

Attorney N. W. Sbafer points out that the
only likely danger to be encountered is a long
dry spell, but he does not predict it. The earth
is still wet below the surface, a few Inches,

bosses was a complete surprise to all, as will be
their answer to the demands of tbe employers.
After the meeting a press committee made tbe
following statement:
Statement Made by the Men.
Unlay8oflastyearthe Master Plumbers As
sociation or Pittsburg and Allegheny agreed that
the minimum wages should be not less than S3 per
day. The Journeymen do not see at the present
time that they are Justified In agreeing to any re
duction. Our association has always given the
bosses some time to consider propositions made by
us, but they gave us no warning in this case, and
we reel rnllyjustlfled in refusing to go to work to
morrow. He wilt remain ont until those de
mands have been withdrawn. There will be no
work doue with plumbing tools until the dlfflculty
is settled.
We had no hand In tbe elght-bonr fight. We
were satisfied with the present working rnles
and had no Intention or making any demands
npon our bosses, but this issue has been forced
upon us and It will now be put to a test or
strength.
At a special meeting of the Master Builders
held last night a list of working rules was
adopted embodying tbe features outlined In
yesterday's Dispatch.
AU contractors of Pittsburg and vicinity who
were not present were respectfully requested
to unite with them in using these rules, and all
journeymen desiring to work, who are willing
to accept them, are requested to report for
work at any time.
There were practically no new developments
In the strike yesterday.
Sweeping Charges of the Strikers.
The striking tradesmen made the general
charge yesterday that members of the Builders'
Exchange were totally disregarding their
obligations as members of that body, and were
fnrnlshlng all the lumber ordered from them,
"There is no guessing about this," said Mr.
Swartz. "We have the names of at least 20
material men who are doing this."
"Will you turnlsh the names for publica
tion!" was asked of Mr. Swartz.
"2o, air; we do not consider that would be
right"
When Mr. Irwin was seen he said the strikers
bad gamed some ground since the previous
day. "New firms have granted tbe eight hours
and our number of idle men is gradually de
creasing." "Will you furnish the names of some of the
contractors wno nave granteatne aemanusto
dayf" I
"I think not,"' was Mr. Irwin's reply.
"Are any of them members of theBuIlderS'
Exchanger" was next asked.
"Not that I know of."
"Then why do yon object to giving out their
names if they are under no obligation to the
master builders or Builders' Exchange? It
would certainly strengthen your side of tbe
case it you could back up your general claims
wi:n 0methlng substantial,
1kT.lV f ...! .4 ....if 9f.lf 19.. I -...
"Well, that is our business, and I do not
think the public cares to know who have
granted the demands and who have not."
A meeting of the Strike Committee was held
in Jho afternoon, with Mr. Swartz in tbe chair.
Reports were received from each local as to
tbe number of men at work and on strike. A
member of UnionZ30 said after the meeting: "It
begins to look as if we are losing ground. Our
reports are falling off, and while we are losing
members who are going to work at nine hoUts,
the contractors are gaining. Borne strike ben
efits will be paid to-morrow, bnt tbe money
does not come from Philadelphia. Our local
funds " will soou be exhausted, and
when our men see their bread and but
ter go out of reach through the strike
tbey will not stay out long. Tho lead
ers of the strike bare tried bard to encourage
tho men by gettinga telegram from the General
Secretary. The men don't seem to understand
that the General Executive Board has declared
tbe strike illegal, and that Mr. Magulre has no
authority to step over the decision of tbe board
aud Indorse tho strike."

FOR FREE TEMPORARrQUARTERS.
Many Places of Worship Tendered, bnt the
SeiTices Conflicted.
THE FEMALE COLLEGE BEING CLEANED
The Board of Trustees of Christ M. E.
Church held a meeting yesterday to confer
relative to affairs consequent on the fire.
Two committees were appointed one on the
selection of a place In which divine services
should be held and the Other to confer with
tbe underwriters regarding the insurance.
The trustees received many messages of
sympathy and offers of assistance from
other congregations. Tbe Bnena
Vista M. B. Church; the North
Avenue Church; the Hebrew Synagogue,
Eighth street; the Liberty Street M. E.
Church; tbe Second Presbyterian Church
and the Bijou Theater were offered to the
board, free of cost, as temporary quarters
during the rebuilding of the church. It
was decided to accept tbe offer of tbe Sec
ond Presbyterian Church ior the accommo
dation of the Sunday school, and tbe usual
Sabbath exercises will be held in that church
next Sunday. . "
Will Worship la the Bljoa Theater.
The Bijou Theater was selected as being
best suited for holding the usual services,
and the offer of the management was ac
cepted, with thanks. Negotiations had been
entered into with tbe Duquesne management.
Leo 3. Smith, of tbe board, stated yesterday
that tbo Bijou offer was accepted becanse the
hours at which services were held in the
churches would clash with the time of those of
Christ Church. Services will be held In the
theater on next Sunday, Dr. Izer preaching.
The Committee on Insurance will meet to
day, and when the amount ot loss Is decided
will report to the board. Notuntiltben will
steps toward rebuilding be considered. It is
understood tbat this question bas not yet been,
mention t, and it is problematical whether tbe
old ch .rch will arise from its asbes in newer
glo y or whether another edifice will be built
elsewhere.
Future of the Female College.
No time has as yet been fixed for a meeting
of the College Board of Trustees. They will
probably meet this afternoon. Dr. Norcross
said yesterday that the courses would be re
sumed on Monday. The residential portion of
the College is being rapidly put in order and a
general house-cleaning of that section was tbe
order of the day yesterday. Several of tbe
students who bad remained In town helped in
brightening up (he water-stained apartments,
if only by their presence, and a staff of
domestics were busy In dispossessing the water
which still lingered. In the yard firemen were
playing on the smouldering flro m tbe storage
building. Tbey were invited to join in the
midday meal in tbe refectory, a Kindness they
gladly accepted and very thankfully acknowl
edged. SELLING OLD H0BBES.
Sixteen Overworked City Steeds Disposed
of Yesterday.
Sixteen worn-out horses of the Department
of Public Safety were sold at public auction at
tbe department storehouse on Wylie avenue
yesterday afternoon. The animals brought
S1.C61 60. Some of tbem have been in active
service in the Fire Department for many years
and others were patrol wagon horses, used ever
since that system was adopted.
Each year a sale of the department's worn
out horses is made. The hard usage horses
receive in tho police and fire service wears
them out quicker than ordinary work, and it
usually happens that a horse sold as unfit for
further service in the department will do well
for years when used for ordinary work. The
city's veterinary surgeon makes an inspection
ot tbe animals in tbe city service once a year,
'and on his recommendation and a certificate
Issued by him such horses as are not in condi
tion io sianu anoiuer years wear are aaver
tlsed for ten days and sold atpubllo auction.
At yesterday's sale there were 150 people
? resent and the bidding was spirited and lively,
'here are yet enough horses tornn the Police
and Fire Departments, but ten of tbe horses
sold will be replaced dnring tbe next three or
four mouths by new ones.

BIO TOWN PBOPEBTY IN DISPUTE,
A Valuable Section of a Subnrb of Omaha
Claimed on a Quitclaim Deed.
Oil ABA, May 7. The titla to eight acres ot
very valuable land in the manufacturing sub
nrb of East Omaha, has been called in ques
tion. Tbe property is now worth many thous
ands of dollars. Leonard R. Bloedel has put In
a claim for the property, and announces that he
will proceed to take possession. He holds a
quitclaim deed from one Hngh Wittell, who
entered upon the land and lived upon It until
1888.
The tract was mado ground, being a creation
along the old river bed, and Is at present a part
of tbe ground that bas been improved by tbe
East Omaha Land Company. The Land Com
pany has filed a petition in equity In the United
States District Court, asKing that Bloedel be
restrained from taking possession of the land.
Tbe petition sets forth tbat Wittell never ac
quired a legal title to the property, and there
fore his quitclaim deed to Bloedel was of no
value.
KANSAS WHEAT ALL EIGHT.
Small Damage In Spots, but General Crop
Prospects Never Better.
ATCHISOJJ, Kak May 7. J. W. Orr, As
sistant General Attorney of tbe Missouri Pa
cific Railroad, who has traveled extensively
this week In the western part of Kansas and
Nebraska, says that there Is more talk than
truth In tbe reports of damaged wheat. He
says tbat tbo prospects were never better, and
tbe farmers never more hopeful.
Here and there the Hessian fly is working,
bnt doing very little damage. Occasionally
there are spots of yellow wheat in drains or
other low places where water has stood and
killed tbe plant, but these places are an incon
siderable part of tbe vast area of tbe country
that is planted in wheat, and with seasonable
weather until harvest time, the yield will be
unprecedented in the history of the two States.
P7JBCBASED AN EMPIRE.
An English Syndicate Parts With 85,000
Acres of South Dakota Land.
Hubox, S. D., May 7. To-day wis consum
mated the largest single private sale of farm'
lands ever made In South Dakota. William
Glasgoue, of Hull, England, sold 85,000 acres of
land in tbe James Blver Valley to tbdNew
York Land and Irrigation Company of Huron.
The price paid is so large that the buyers de
cline to publisb it. If it were known, people
wonld be astonished, but the company has so
fnlly proved tbe advantages and prospective
wealth of irrigation that they did not hesitate
to pay the price demanded. Tbey now own
100,000 acres in the artesian basin.
All the Marts or Time Erased.
The scaffolding about tbe soldiers' monument
in Allegheny was removed yesteiday. Tbe

PLAYED TUUANT TO SEE THE SHOW
Supposed to Have Been Enticed Away bj a
Bareback Bitter.
L05GED 10 BECOME AX EQUESTEIEN5E
Little Bessie Garrigan, of Allegheny, bas
disappeared from her home on Second
street. Sbe has been gone since Tuesday,
and it is now believed sbe has gone to become
an equestrienne in a cheap circus. The
pink tights decorated with tinsel, the plung
ing white horse, the crack of the ringman's
whip and clown's joke, together with the
general odor of peanuts and cheap lemonade
was a fascination too great for her 11
yeatvold mind, and it is believed her name
will soon appear on the flaming play bills.
Tbe irl has been gone since Tuesday.
Her parents Relieved she was only staying
with friends, but when the second night passed
and sbe did not return, they reported the mat
ter to the police. For several weeks a cheap
circus bas been flaunting Its canvass and ban
ners in Pittsburg and Allegheny. The girl Is
developed beyond her years and has a marked
fondness for the pleasures of the world. She
is bright, active and graceful, just such a crea
ture as would make a hit as a soubrette and
results prove tbat professionals recognized
this. With tbe advent of the show her at
tendance at scbool dropped to tbe minimum.
In short, she was playing truant to cherish in
the delight of this new enjoyment.
The scbool and circus, however, adjourned
about tho same hour, and as she was always
home on time, there was no room to question
her actions. The neighbors noticed that on a
number of occasions sbe was accompanied home
by a young man, but he alivaysjtopped before
reaching her residence, so the girl's parents
would not discover the f act
On Tuesday evening a report from the girl's
teacher had preceded her arnval at home.
Her mother began to lecture her for being ab
sent from scbool. when the girl darted out of
the doorway. The mother, of course, followed,
bnt by the time sbe had reached tbe corner the
girl had disappeared. The mother gave up the
chase, thinking ber daughter would return, but
as sbe did not tbe case was reported to the
police. The detectives who have the case m
charge expect to find the girl with the circus.
