Senator Quay and State Senator George Handy Smith were ou the limited last even I n S going to Heaver from llarrlsburg, Sen ator Smith said he was going to spend Saturday and Sunday, with Hmalor Quay in tho country. If It were not for the fact that Mr. Smith Is a stauoh irleud ol Mr. Mages us one would think there wsi anything more in the obeet of the visit than the en Joy nn nt ol buoollo blln for a few days, but, n the face of the reoem reports of attempts to piten ,ii p me iiomioai ninereueri between the two leaden, the trip of Mr. Hmlth into the country might not bo so In. nocent as It appears en the surface. How. e w, on this subject the two men were silent. They declined to tulk, any more than Sena tor Hmlth said It was a purely social visit. Concerning the ballot reform bill Mr. Smith isld It was not out of committee yet, but the Senate would take up the bill next week. He doesn't think the Legislature will adjourn before June 6. Mr. Quay was as uncommunicative as over, Hv was sur prised to learn he had been catechised at length when he went Ksst a few day ago, He declared he had seen no reporters, and what appeared was a pure fake. He had nothing lurther to say. The Senator' family will start for a tripitbroad in a lew days. He expects to go Bast again uext week. Though Beuator Qnay says his health is fair he is not looting well and it is very noticeable. 0VEEC0AT8 AT A DISCOUNT. The Weather Suddenly bo Much Warmer That Bain Is Predicted. Overcoats were at a discount yesterday. There was a light frost in the lowlands, but it did not barm, and now the agriculturists' feelings are mixed. They would like to see a six-hours' rain, but rather than take a frost with, or alter it, they will be content to do without moisture until the earth ac cumulates a stock of heat to radiate. The moon changed yesterday, and some of the "lunatics" prophesied rain in consequence, but as they bad not seen it yet, tbey could not predict with any certanity. They could not say whether it was a wet or a dry moon, whether on its back so as to slop over, or with points down and empty, and few could say with certainty whether it rose over Mc Nairtown or further South. If over Mo Nairtown, the weather will be cold, If fur ther South, warm. The hoot-owls have been quiet lately. The tree frogs sang at the time-ofthe last shower' but there wasn't water enough to moisten tbelr vocal organs and they gave over. Clay soils are so baked that tbey can not be plowed satisfactorily.

Omce, 730 Peaa street, Pittsburg, Pa, &n THE THEIR LATEST MOVE, Master Builders Decide to Ee'snme Operations and Give Their Men A CHANCE TO RETURN TO WOKE. Two Union Contractors Said te Hits Granted the Demands. TfiK PLUalBEES, STBIKE. A BDRPR1SB The latest development in the building trades' strike is the decision of the Master Builders to resume work. This action w taken by them after the adop'tion of their new working rules, and it is 'expected that by Monday most Of the shops will be open. A great many of the bosses wiH work themselves, as the tinners did last year. The contractor will adopt ibis a a -policy by which they expect to break tbe trike. Vice President Powell, of tbe Master Builders Association, said last nights "We have beard that a large number of men are willing to return to work if they had the chance. We will give them an opportunity now, nnd lee what they will do. I feel very certain, however, that a great many will go to work on Monday. We do not want to lock ant any who wants to work." A Hit of contracting earpeuttr In tbe Builders' Exchange and Master Builders' Association ba been prepared and tent to all material men for the purpose of Inform ing the latter to whom tbey may tell with safety, There aro 205 name on tho list, and tbey are aoeompanled by tbe following note) Agreoinent to Help lCaeh Other. We tend you this list of contracting carpen ters, who have agreed that In purohatlng build ing materials they will favor thole dealer only who will assist tbem In the pretont strike, by refuilug to ttll matsrisl of any kind to thoie eutildaof our association, who iava throat- eneU to tako contracts left unfinished by us, thus Injuring our common cams. The list Includes the ntmct of Rltehey & Harden and W. O. Wllklns, who are said to have granted the elght-hnur demands. This claim was made yesterday by the Strike Committee ol the carpenters. Bltchey & Hsyden were seen by repre sentatives of the Master Builders' organi sation, nnd they denied that they bad con ceded anything. Mr. Wilkins has not been seen, but members oi the Master' Vigilance Committee insist that none of their mem bers have yielded the demands. Mr. Swarlz was seen during tbe after noon, but as usual he said there were no new developments. "Everthingis going along smoothly. We are still gaining some." It was" reported vesterday that Union 230 intended to vote last night at its regular meeting to return to work on Monday. A delegation of leaders in tbe strike visited 230 last night and succeeded in holding the union firm for the eight hours. . The Planing Mill Association also met yesterday but did not change their working rules materially. The Plumbers' Strike a Surprise. The plumbers struck yesterday morning against the new working rules of the bosses. It was a complete surprise to all the master plumbers, who have plenty of work on hand at present. There were not a half dozen master plumbers who knew anything of tbe strike until the men refuted to work yester day morning. . . Mr. McShanr, of Houston & McShane, was seen yesterday. He said he did'not at tend the meeting at which the working rules were adopted. "But if I bad." he said, "I would bave opposed,, them. I can not see tbe wisdom in being so arbitrary. There is no need to ignore the fact that tbe men are to' be considered in all nat ters relating to tbe wage question. I think it was a mistake to send those rules to a meeting of. the journey men in preference to asking for a committee to discuss the matter. All labor difficulties are entitled to a fair consideration at all times, and I think n better feeling -could have been maintained by more conservative moves." ' ' There was to have been a meeting of mas ter plumbers last night, but it was post poned until next week. Tbe Strike Com mittee of the men will meet Monday morn ing to hear reports. Tbe marble cuttcrt have quit work and will remain out until their demands for an advance of 25 cents a day have been granted. President Sinythe, of tho National organi sation, was expected In tbo city last night, but he was not registered at any of the hotels. The hrlcklayeit met last night, but noth ing Important was done in reference to their demands, which have not yet been granted. A QUESTION OF XUEIBDIOTIOW.

THEY FAVOR THE EAST END. , Trustees of the Western Theological Semi nary Willing to Move the Institution , Chance for the Wealthy Residents of, Ifutt section to secure the school., J A movement for the removal of the West ern Theological Seminary seems to be gaining torce daily. The want of room has always' been the drawback to tho present location in Allegheny. There is no space sufficiently large to allow the student to indulge In athletic iports, or take needed out-door ex ercise. In the East End there is plenty of room, and there would te no trouble in having a flue campus, where all the college sports could be indulged in. Tbe East End is the center of probably the wealthiest Presbyterian community in the country. If the. people of that seotion would raiie a fund off 100,000, buy five or six acres of ground in a good location and erect suitable buildings, there it not a trustee or member of the faculty who would object. In fact, it it only the question of monov that has to fur prevented tueh a move. In Allegheny, it it claimed, tho Bern Inarv it to tome extent isolated, whereas in tho East End tbe surronndingt are sucn as would help the sohool in many respects. The social aspect is also ono tlioso who favor the change are considering. Tbey contend that the people of the East End are exceedingly hospitable and that the direc tors and trntteet of the seminary would have inattere made more nttraotlve for tbem. Again, thero would bo large and apprecia tive nudlenoes present at commencements, tuoh at that oi Thursday night or similar ocosiloni.

SATUBDAY, MAY- 0.- THE WORDSIOF CHEER Given at the Iianqne't of tbe National Association of 'Machinists, r FEWEU H00RS AND BIGGER WAGES Grand Master Creamer Says That Is Whit Will tie Demanded. THE MATOR NOTPBESENT AT THE FEAST The members of the National Association of Machinists, which has been in session here for several days, were given a banquet last night In Lafayette Halt-by Pittsburg Lodge No. 62, N.. A. M. Covers were laid for 500 persons and fully that number were present. In the auditorium were six tables running the length of tbe ball. Upon the stage were seated at three tables the officers of the convention arid invited gneits. In the gallery was an orchestra which dis coursed muslo both before and during the banquet. Busy about the hall and upon the stsge were the members of the Executive Com mittee, A. L. Kennedy, CI. W. Kirk, E. P. Newlin, T. T. Anderson and M. J. Garnler. Mayor Gourley was expeoted to bave been present and respond totho.toait of "Our City, "but the Chief Executive sent word to tome of hit frlendt that he wat afraid to venture out in tho night air. The announce ment wat not formally made, but it was un derstood early In the day that Hit Honor would not ho able to attend. The Growth of tho Machinists. G. W. Kirk was tne toatt matter, and he mado the addrett of woloomt, whloh wat thort and to tho point. Then the tier. E. B. Donehoo said grace, after whloh the clatter of knives and forks went on merrily for an hour, It wat a ooid-water banquet, the strongest Ilquldt being coffee and lemon ade, The first addrett on the programme wat that of the Mayor, but in hit absence Grand Matter Machinist J, J. Creamer wat Introduced, Hit theme at named upon tbo lilt of speeches was "The National As torUtlin of Machinists." Kt, Creamer said that the tout to whloh he was asked to respond hardly covered the point that Should be made. Instead of the National Association it should have read tbe International Association, for the pres ent meeting marked the welding together of machinists from Canada as well as from the United States. He said that the third an nual convention of thv assoslation.marked a period ot progress that tied not been dreamed of when the organization wae first formed in Atlanta. He then gave a history of its growth nnd the rapid accession to member ship which followed its birtb. ' Shorter Hoars and More Money. The magic hand of the machinist, said he, 1 felt in all the walks of life. Without it the wheels of progress would be stopped. Why are we organized, he asked, and his answer was not tor strikes, not for tbe pur pose of demanding things whloh are uojnst. Capital has organized for itsown protection, and to securo ail the benefits posiible. We have organized to better our social, our moral and our educitional condition. In addition to that we know that shorter hours and more pay will benefit us. We want more time to fit us for a better position In the world, and we want more money to help ns maintain that position. How do we propose to do all this, asked Mr. Creamer, and he at once replied to his own question by remarking that the ques tion would be answered before the conven tion adjourned. It would be answered, he snid, to the satisfaction of all the members of the association throughout the North American continent. The last remarks of the speaker were 'greeted with loud ap plause, as' were also those in relation to shorter hours and more pay. .The next speaker was A- W. Duff, who .responded to the toast of 'the ilaw. W. 'J. Brennen'spoke for the employer, but said he felt a little awkward iu responding, be cause, he said, it would be much easier to speak on tbe other side. "Machinists" was responded to by H. E Easton, D. G. M. M.; "Medlcino," by J. Milton Duff, D. D.; "Co-operation," by T. O. McGonnell; "Nine-Hour Day," by D. Douglas Wilson: "Politics," by Clarence Burleigh; "Our jEmplove," by John N.

A large Store and Several Dwellings Burned Down Last Night Value of Property Destroyed Estimated at About 840,000 An Allegheny Engine There. The residents of Glenfield, 10 miles from the city on tbe Fort Wayne road, were afforded a pretty extensive, and at the same time costly pvrotechnical display last evening. At 7 o'olock fire broke out in the workhouse in rear of the two-story frame dwelling occupied by John F. Graham, day operator at the station, and his wife. The house adjoined the extensive general store of T. Phillips & Bro,,and with several other dwellings formed a row of habitations which faced the railroad. Tbe entire block occupied by these houses was destroyed, causing dsmage variously estimated be tween 40,000 and $20,000. Mrs. Graham' and her husband were absent attelding a euchre party, and neither can account for the origin of the fire. The store contained miscellaneous goods valued at (11,000, which is covered by insurance for 54,000. It was a three-story brick build ing lu front, standing on an area of SO leet by 25, and had a two-story brick annex in the rear. The buildings were valued at flS.OOO, and were insured for 8,000. The Graham family were uninsured, and lose all their valuable furniture excepting a few pieces whloh they saved. Their lots is about 2,000. Mrs. Graham tucceeded In saving money ins had in the house, but lost tome coitly Jewelry. Adjolng the Graham houie wat a 13-room frame dwelling belonging to A. Marx, of Bewlckley, formerly of Grogan & Men, of this city. It wst ut one time uied at a hotel, but wat unnooupled last night. It wat valued at 83,000. Next to it was another unoccupied houto owned by It. Phillips, and In 'the rear were ttablei, the property of Mr. Merz, all oi whloh wtro destroyed. Whon the fire was diioorered, Durgeii Weloh telephoned l.to the Allegheny au thorities, and Suptrlntendent Jouet wat ttlsed to tend an engine down to the teene. A tpeolal was obtained, but It was 10 o'elook before the firerten arrived at Glen field. The fire wut thin tmouiderlng, and nothing could be done to isve property, at all in the vicinity bad been burned down. The engine ordered out was tbe Hope Com pany and six men, one mat. from tne Good will, and teren from the Columbia under Captain Noble Jones. Twenty-seven lec tions of hose 1,600 feet were taken along, and Anlitant Trainmaster W, P. Shotwell, Superintendent Jones and Superintendent ol Fire Alarm Loomit were en board the train. Chief Murphy superintended the operation of loading the engine on two fiat oars at Sandusky street, which occupied some time and a share of attention from a large crowd. Burgess Welch said last night that the Council would now probably take step to provide some fire fighting facilities which the borough st present were altogether with out. The signal tower was badly scorched, the instrument disarranged, and only a copious supply oi water saved the structure. HOW IT HAPPENED. Sir. Hartman's Explanation of the Indict ment Against Him. Speaking of the Indictment found against him yesterday, Henry Hartman said last evening: "About a year ago we bad our former agent in New York City arrested for embezzlement, and have several suits pend ing against him now. In hopes of getting us to let up on him he brought an action under the inter-State commerce act, alleg ing under billing of goods. So little did either Mr. Wylie or myself pay to jt, that neither of us knew the case was up in court. "A young man who was then in our em ploy as ahlpping clerk, billed a few lots of goods apparently under actual weieht, but wholly unknown to any officer of the com pany, a no sane man would intentionally risk incurring .the penalties of the act in question for the sake of a few dollars, the .whole claim being but a few thousand pounds. On investigation, it seems that tbe goods mentioned we're formerly crated and certain deductions made for crating, whereas, after crating was abandoned, the "tare," through negligence, was occasionally deducted by the clerk 'manifesting' to that ageucy which was the only place that goods were dollvered. We have no concern whatever, as to the outcome of the matter.1' Big Sale for Ono Week. Judge Clark, of Greensburg, returned from Barberton yesterday. He says the sale of lots for the week in tbe new town amounted to 180,000. Akron people are jealous of the place, and gave it a big boom by warning buyers to be careful of towns on paper. Manager M.

L 51MB-1 V- LEFT IN A STRANGE LAND. A Mother With a Sick Infant Beach the Baltimore and Ohio Station She la Sent to.the Poor Farm and the Baby to the Hospital. Chief Elliot, of tbe Department of Char ities, bad a peculiar case called to bis at tention yesterday, and with his usual con sideration for those in need showed himself the friend Indeed. Shortly before noon a train filled with immigrants reached the Baltimore and Ohio station. There were all told 356 of them, the most prosperous looking crowd that has come to Pittsburg for a long time. Tbey were mostly Ger mans, but among tbem were people of several other nationalities. One hundred and fifteen remained in Pittsburg, 200 went to Cleveland, and tbe others to nearby points. They had reached Pittsburg by the way of Baltimore. Just before tbe train drew up iu the station, a baby in the arms of its mother, a woman who seemed to have no friends among those in the car, was taxen with vio lent spasms. The child was removed to the Homeopathic Hospital, and the mother, who could not speak a word of English, was taken to the office of the Department of Charities. There, through an Interpreter, she gave the name of TJhlka Gradowits, She had a tloket to Broidford, but no money. In addition to tbe sick infant, there was with her a child about 3 years old. Her story is a pathetic one. Several months ago her husband was killed In one of the mines In the anthraolte coal region. She was left without any meant of tupport, aud flnallr her neighbors railed among thlm live tufllolent cash to buy her a tloket to Broadford, where the tare tbe has friends. Tho chief sot her and the eldest child to the Poor Farm until it Is found whether the baby will reeover or die. Late last night the physlclsui ut the hospital thought the child would pull through.
