mma MJCK f t I P FUTURE OF THE PARK, Colonel Culyer Says It Will Take Ten Years to "Work Out the Orig inal Design in Schenley, BUT IT "WILI. BE VERY ELABORATE. He Suggests That TVater Be Pumped From" the Hirer to Make a Stream in Panther Hollow. SJIAIi EXPENSE FOR PEOPLE ADIED AT. A Big Boom in the Harness and Vehicle Trades Pre dicted in Two Years. James K, Scott, Chairman of the Build ing Committee of the Carnegie Library Com mission, took a walk yesterday through Schenley Park with several objects in view. In the present condition of the country out there such a skirmish is 'like chasing a fox through heavy wood lands, up and down the sides of ravines, or climbing a mountain. Mr. Scott, however, was not daunted by the work before him, but it had the effect of making him very reticent "What he saw and - contemplated after he had seen is more than he would telL The main object of his visit was to figure on the location for the main building, and another was to get some idea of the scone and lav of the park land. If he came to any conclusion he declined to .express it until he had conferred with his follows on the committee with him. "Work of Beautifying the Park. At present JohnY. Culyer, the genial landscape gardener from Brooklyn, is hard at worijztrying to beautify and put Schenley Tark, Into shape. Mr. Culyer has lived so long among flowers, and spent so many years in cultivating the beautiful in nature rt-AiAlic carries with him a bucolic love for hunwnity. That the liking for one should begetta sincere regard for the other is but natural. Mr. Culyi. is i park enthusiast He believes in thepjtji:y of green gi&ss and fresh air to make hiri-worked city peo ple happy, and he ainu .o adipt everything to suit the poor and middlj classes on the ground that the rich can pay for their pleasures and luxuries. To him a park is a necessity for city life, and it is a surprise to , him that one was not obtained and laid out in Pittsburg vears ago. This is how Mr. ' Culyer talks about Schenley at this stage of the game. He said yesterdvj-: Boad-Maklng to Begin To-3Iorrow. "We will commence on Monday to lay the foundations for the roads. "When the people t;o out there on the Fourth of July to celebrate their annual jubilee they will see a good stretch of. roadway made, 1 hope, and the grading on anothjr long section made They will also begin to see the park assuming the shape which is designed for it It t ill probably take ten years to complete the original plan, but the people must have patience. Xew York, with its millions, commenced to improve Central 3'ark, 30 years ago, and it is not finished. Central Park hasn't a complete entrance as first designed, and some day I expect to see this part of the work completed. The 2sew York park lacks the natural beauty of Schenley, but in time the jiew park land which the city has purchased nature has dealt more kindly in giving the people a broken and varied sur iace. One thing I regret about Schenley. and that is that a stream of water does not run through Panther Hollow. If a little- run could be added this would be an ideal place. During the winter there is plenty of water, when the people don't want it A rian to Get Plenty of Water. '1 have been thinking that for a small ex pense a pump could be located on the river Dank, and in the summer months could force enough water over the hill to supply the need. The bed is such that pretty little falls and other natural effects could be re produced very easily. "In two years from now people will begin to notice, as a result of Schenley Park, that the interest in horseflesh will begin to revive. It will boom the ve hicle and harness trades also. "With good roads and a beautiful country to drive over your citizens will once more yearn for fast h'orses, but I am an are it is not every body can ride, because they haven't the means, and these people will not be for gotten. Eiches is not an indication of culture or refinement, and so often have I seen men who couldn't keep n horse or pa v a livery bill possess more of the finer qualities that make life worth the living than their wealthier brethren. The walks and paths will be arranged with a view to the ease of the pedestrian. Xobody has the energy to climb a steep bridle path on a hot da, , and no such precipitious foot ways will be worked out in Schenley Park. Parks Meant for the People. .. "I am alwavs in for providing for the comfort of children and the family. I don't .1 i think a park should be a source of revenue. It should be made for the people and their use at a small expense. Franchises for the various stands should be granted at a low figure, to give the citv an opportunity to regulate the prices charged for food, confectioneiy, etc I hae seen where men have gotten rich by charg ing visitors to parks exorbitant rates for small refreshments. The matter of a few hundred dollars ought not to be considered in the management of a park. In Brooklyn we aim to get all the Sunday schools to hold their picnics on the pubbc grounds, and the various denominations do so now. A farm house has been provided, where the women can get hot water with which to cook. Plates, knives and forks and other culinary articles can be hired for a small , sum, and about all that people need to spend the day for a small sum is the bread and butter and the cake. Everything is arranged with an idea to cheapness, and I have seen many families have a most enjoyable day in the Brooklyn park at a nominal cost Some have even taken tea along with them and made it on the grounds. Other Conveniences for Lunchers. "If desired, the lunch can be eaten in the farmhouse, and boxes for the refuse food, etc, are provided. These boxes are emptied by men as fast as filled. Certainly I don't expect Pittsburg to carry t ont all these ideas. Brooklyn and Ifew York with their money can do it, but many of the features I have mentioned could be adopted here at no great cost I feel safe -in saving that the park when finished will be one of the most attractive in the country. Its location and broken surface insure ;his much to begin with. "Good roads are the first requisite, and I have said before that they can be built for 525,000 per mile. The roads will be made out of the gravel Xound in the park." J Colonel Culyer is much taken with the idea of an old-fashioned Fourth of July celebration. He likes patriotism, but the benefits the people wiU derive from the day spent in the park are what please him the most The Colonel is one of the , members of the Central Board of Education in Brooklyn, and i has always been interested in the" education of children. He believes that open-air iubilees are rood things to teach the risincr generation love of country, and it is thus ow parks contribute their share to preserve the nation. A Victim for the Pen. Charles Oino was brought to the "Western . Penitentiary yesterday afternoon from "Washington county. He was convicted of "burglary and larceny, and sentenced to serve four rears. 'o FIFTY APPEALS TAKE By Attorneys for IVouId-Be Saloonkeepers "Who Were Knocked Out They Claim That "With 8250,000 Involved, They Must Go to the Supreme Court The extent of judicial discretion in the granting or refusing of license to sell liquor by wholesale will be further tested. Yes terday Attorneys Cohen, McKenna, Hun ter, John Bobb, Sr., and C C. Mon tooth, attorneys for 50 rejected appli cants, served notice on the License Court judges of intention to appeal, on the" ground that the court exceeded its jurisdiction and discretion in going outside of the three pre scribed qualifications on the part of appli cants citizenship, good moral character, and temperate habits and thus basing re fusal on grounds alleged not contemplated by the lawmakers. "The attomevs for the appellants hold that the ruling in the Pollard case must hold, as, although the Supreme Court last year .sus tained Judge Ewing in his claim to exer cise the discretion claimed, that tribunal did not file anj; opinion nor give any rea son why it deviated from the line laid down in the Pollard case, and it is intended that a full expression shall be gotten this time. The ground taken is that in the absence of charges calculated to deteriorate the three qualifications set forth, judges cannot make inquiry that may open the door to the machinations of the malicious. Attorneys for appellants hope to get their case so framed as to be heard by the Supreme Court for the first Monday of the June term in Harrisburg, if the judges of the License Court persist in keeping the gate closed. The appellants are brewers, bottlers and wholesalers, and represent an invested capital of over 5250,000. FULL OF OEAVE CONSEQUENCES Will Be Uie Approaching Session of the National Synod, K. P. Church. The National Synod of the Reformed Pres byterian Church, which is to commence its work on the 27th instant in Eev. Dr. David McAlister's church, is probably pregnant with more grave consequences than any other event in the history of this denomina tion since 1833. Delegates composed of ministers and laymen of note will be pres ent from all sections of tne Union. The bone of contention'that excites the great in terest is the action of the Pittsburg Presby tery in suspending the seven clergymen who gave their adhesion to the "East End Plat form," and it is thought Dr. McAlis ter, who presided, may be asked t to answer to the charge of having himself violated the law of the Church in voting for the constitutional amendment It is said that his infraction would not have been noticed, as the cause for which he voted was and is popular in the Church,had he not taken a stand so very decided in the case of the offenders who participated in the East End heresy. The friends of thesus- E ended clergymen say that Dr. McAlister ad no more right to ally himself with the Prohibition party than any member has to cast his lot with any other political party. Xow some of the friendsof the sus pended ministers have given their voice for war, opposing the making of fish of one and flesh of another. It is thought the Synod may remain in session for two weeks. EAPPED THE COUET HABD. Tho Covenanters Denounce the Judges for Issuing Liquor licenses. Yesterday afternoon the quarter centen nial services of the Eighth Street Covenant er congregation were continued. Eev. D. McAllister conducted the exercises. Three infants were baptized, and Eev. D. C. Mar tin preached on "The Palaces and Towers of Zion." He was followed by Eev. E. J. George, who called the elders of the church to the front and gave an explanation of the terms of communion. He said that the terms of fellowship were easy "to un derstand, and to be a good Cov enanter there are fou .thingsto "re member: First to embrace the! whole of the revealed truth as given in the Bible; second, maintaining purity of the institutions of Christ; third, pledge of fidelity to the covenant; fourth, the promi nent features are Christain character and conduct. During the lecture the minister took occasion to give the judges a rap for granting licenses, and the Government for the running of mail trains on Sunday as against the teachings of tho Bible, and that people so employed could not become good members of the church. The services to-day will be quite inter esting. At 10:30 A. M. communion, con ducted by the pastor and Eev. D. C. Martin; at 2 P. ar. communion services, tables served by the pastor, Eev. E. J. George, and Eev. D. C. Martin; at 7:30 P. ai. memo rial sermon by Eev. E. J. George. WBAPPED IN A PILLAE OF FIRE. Peculiar Accident to One of a Trio of Gay Toung 3Ien. Yesterday morning about 1 o'clock a hilarious party of three, who had evidently been gazing upon the "ruddy" not wisely but too oft, were weaving their way up Fifth avenue One of them had been try ing to strike a match on his heel without stopping or losing his place in the pro cession. At .last, by a dextrous kick up be hind, he struck the combination ana the match. Just as he did so a sheet of flame burst from the pavement and played around his lower limbs. His companions looking back saw their friend enveloped in a pillar of fire They rushed to the rescue and found "Charlie" executing a song and dance on top of a coal hole cover from which flames were flickering. They dragged him away and went along, Charlie declaring that it was surely a case of spontaneous com bustion and that he would never drink to excess any more. The fire blazed away like a beaoon light until quite a crowd collected and found that a gas pipe just beneath the grating had sprung a leak. The janitor of the building appeared on the scene with a monkey wrench, doctored up the joint and soon all was dark again. , PHOTOGRAPHS AS EVIDENCE. Attorney s Visited the Scene of tho Gllklnson Murder Yesterday. Attorneys McGin:, E. A. Montooth and "W. A, Challener went to McKeesport yes terday and visited the cottage in Mifflin where Detective Gilkinson met his death. They were armed with photograph instru ments, to take views of the place for use in the trial of Fitzsimmons, whom they are to defend. The attorneys spent a good part of the day at the cottage and in the vicinity, looking over the ground and studying the situation. The tragedy is yet fresh in the minds of all, and the spot where-it occurred is an inter esting place to visit "WORKING FOR ITCITOG. A Party of Friends Recommend Him to Governor Pattison.

A Man Sues a Hotel Keeper for Sell- ing Him Liquor as a Person OF MOM INTEMPERATE HABITS. Two Galens of ITcKee's Bocks Fight Over the Eight to a Pasture. ARREST OF A MAS tfllO WAS PRATING The very unusual case of a man suing a saloonkeeper for selling liquor to a person of "known intemperate habits," and that person the prosecutor himself, will be heard before Alderman McNeirney to-morrow morning, with Colonel "W. D. Moore present to unfold. the legal tale on behalf of the plaintiff. This man is K. B. Peterson, who is clerk to Councilman Hugh Ferguson, and the Boniface" against whom the allegation of illegal sale is made, is "W. "W. Flocker, of Millvale borough! Mr. Peterson,- like many other men, finds a saloon a very convenient place in which to quench his thirst during -these dry and dusty days, and when in MiUvale was ac customed to look in at Flocker's hostelry for a little liauid refreshment He dropped into FlocKer's on the evening of the 10th and had what he required, and on the following day, being again in Millevale, but this time accom panied by Mrs. Peterson, he once more en tered the hotel and called for refreshments. Mr. Flocker appeared in response to the call, and thereupon hinges the present suit. Mine host politely but firmly declined to serve Mr. Ecterson. Mr. Peterson very naturally wanted to know why, and forthwith inquired of him the thusness of the that Mr. Flockej looked at Mr. Peterson, and then f lancing at Mrs. Peterson, shook his ead in a manner which conveyed a sus picion to Mr. Peterson that the lady by whom he was accompanied was not Mrs. Peterson. In fact, thi story goes that Mr. Flocker as much as told Mr. Peterson in so many words that that was his impression. Such a suspicion very naturally made the gentleman and his wife exceed ingly indignant, and, since no refresh-, ments were to be had, Mr. Peterson bottled up his wrath and withdrew, vowing vengeance. He lost no time in calling upon Alderman McNeimey and told that magis trate that he wanted to sne a man under section 17 of the act of 1887, for selling to persons of known intemperate habits. The Squire inquired who this person was who was of "intemperate habits." Mr. Peter son replied that it was himself. The 'Squire was naturally astonished.and said so. Mr. Peterson proceeded to say that W. "W. Flocker had sold him drink on the 10th of May; that he (Flocker) knew that he (Pet erson) was not proper person, under sec tion 17 of the act, to whom he could sell liquor, and that he (the complainant) de sired to enter suit against him on that ac count The 'Squire took the information and handed Jack Eodgers, alias the "Rip per," a warrant for Flocker's arrest Flocker was arrested on the llthj and J. D. Hughes went his bail for a hearing to-mor- TWO DOCTORS USE HORSEWHIPS. A Quarrel Over a Pasture Lot That Will Get Into Court. Alderman McMasters yesterday held a hearing in the assault and battery case of Dr. J. H. Barr vs Dr. A. H. Burket Both reside at McKee's rocks. At the hearing yesterday no witnesses were examined, the prosecutor and defendant going through the hearing alone and without attorneys. Dr. Barr said he found Dr. Burket's horse tied on a commons where he was pasturing his horse and turned it loose. He said he had this privilege, as he was paying rent for the exclusive jwe of the grounds. The horse was removed several times from where Bur ket had' placed it, and this gave. rise tpa quarrel between the two physicians which resulted.in Barr receiving several lashes made by a buggy whip in the hands of Burket Dr. Burket did not deny Barr's allega tions. He said the horse was an old friend of his and was prized very much by him, as he had ridden it over the hills of Stowe township for the past 17 years. Alderman McMasters advised a settlement, but the Srosecutor did not seem so inclined and lurket was held in 5300 bail for trial at court HE CORALLFJ) THE COWS. One LawrencevlUe 3111k Dealer Locks Up Another's Cows, and Is Then Sued. Thomas Gunning is an Eighteenth ward milk dealer of long-established fame, and a thorough monopolist So when Mrs. Ehoda A. Moore opened up a rival establish ment on Harrison street, Thomas was exceeding wroth. Gunning used to pasture his cows on land belonging to the Irwin heirs, and paid rent for the privilege up to April 1. The land was then thrown open for building, and became common. He continued pasturing his cows thereon, and believed hev had exclusive right to do so. Mrs. Moore also found the commons good grazing land, and concluded she' would send her cows there, too. Gunning could stand his rival seUing milk, but he could not put up with her source of supply obtaining its richness alongside his own, so he very quietly corralled the Moore cattle and locked them in his barn. Mrs. Moore went before 'Squire Mc Nierney with her complaint and Jack Eodgers was directed to bring his optic to bear on the locality of the cows. He found them in Gunning's barn and placed him under arrest for larceny. The milk dealer was fine'd ?25 and costs for the offense. SANGER FROM BIG BOGS. A Newfoundland Bites the Little Son of Mrs. Brenner, "Who Sues the Owner. Mrs. Mary Brenner, of Poe aUey, pro poses to keep a sharp lookout for dogs in the future. Last Sunday, while her 2-year-old son was playing in the yard of her house, a large Newfoundland dog broke in and attacked the. child, she avers, inflicting several bites on its face. , The dog got away, but Mrs. Brenner was determined to see where it belonged, and finally traced it as the property of George Wanamaker, of Garfield street, Nineteenth ward, whom she sued yesterday before Alder man Kerr, for keeping a ferocious dog. The 'Squire sent the case to court , FIGHT AT THE DEPOT. John Darcey Tries to Pass the Gate Without a Permit A lively fight occurred at the "Union depot last evening. John Darcey insisted on passing through the gate without a per mit to see his sister-in-law, Mrs. John Dougherty, off to Braddock, The gateman would not allow him to golthrough,when he tried to force his way. A fight followed and in the encounter Mrs. Darcey and her baby were knocked down. Darcejr was arrested and locked up in Central station. TOOK THE BOY'S MONET. Prank Davis Is Arrested for Highway Bob bery and Larceny. Frank Davis was arrested at Harry Davis Fifth Avenue Museum yesterday afternoon by Detective Robinson. The charges against him are larceny and highway rob bery. It is first charged that Davis stole a clock at Soho about six weeks ago. Soon after, tho officers say, he induced a little boy to go and draw his (the boy's) wages by telling TTSBIXRG DISPATggAYr'A. ,17, ' him that his mother wanted the mnney. .He then waited for the child, and when he came out he took the money from him. After, that he disappeared and was not seen until yes terday. COST TFT' SOME DOLLARS. Two Men Who Joined With a Bough. Crowd Are Fined for Their Work. James Hopper and S. Welsh had a hear ing yesterday morning on a charge of dis orderly conduct They had been arrested by Officer George Cole for being concerned with others in interfering with an enter tainment under canvas on Penn avenue near Thirty-first street, and were fined 56 each and costs. It appears that a number of roughs, most of whom were boys, were attempting to gain admittance, without paying, to the show, when prevented by the employes. In retaliation the guy-ropes were cut and the top descended upon the audience, which got up and left A few stones were thrown, which injured two lads named McCauley and Moran,but not seri ously. "When the police were called the rough element quickly dispersed. Allan Lynch, who owns the show, said last night that the mob had seri ously interfered with his business that nightj and prevented him giving a morning performance yesterday. He was thinking of suing the city for damages and loss caused. This he estimated at 51,000. He has .not taken any steps as yet, but he might to-morrow. There was no disturb ance last night, and the show will open at East Liberty to-morrow. One of the pe culiar features of the affair is the ftct that so little was known of the affair at pol.ee headquarters in the district where it oc curred, and where, indeed, it is looked upon as a trifling matter. ONE RIOTER IN JAIL. He Was Quiet as a Lamb When the De tectives Appeared. Detectives Fitzgerald, Eobinson and Shore again visited the scene of the Sonthside riot yesterday afternoon. George Scope, the man who puUed out the coupling pin when the attempt was made to rescue Philip Kennedy the day before, was the only one captured. The others had all disappeared, but it is believed they will be caught in a few days. The man surrendered very wiUingly, and Detective Shore thinks it has been a good lesson for the railroad brakemen, who thought the detectives' who went to the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston yards only country constables, and could be scared off. They run the towns along the road, but this will show them that they are little people when it comes to running Pittsburg. Arrested While He Was Praying. Joseph Miller, of the West End, was sent to Mercy Hospital yesterday morning. He is slightly demented. When arrested he was kneeling on a pile of metal, praying, in the rear of Singer, Nimick & Co. s mills. BATES FROM POLICE RECORDS. C.

The Amalgamated Association Count ing on Trouble July 1. , A STEELTON IRON FIRM'S FIGHT. The Central Trades Council's Stand on the library Site. SATUEDAT NEWS FEOM LABOR CIECLES While there will be no general strike this year among the iron and steel mills, there is every indication at present-that the Amalgamated Association will have one or two strugg es for tne adoption of its scale. The hardest battle is expected to be at Steelton, Pa., where the Pennsylvania Steel Company has been fighting the organization for several months. The men employed by that concern have never had a scale signed by the firm, owing largely to the weakness of their lodges there and the power of the firm to hold the nien without signing. Word has been received here this week show ing what means are employed by the firm to defeat the organization. One of the plans said to be adopted is to have each man employed by .the firm to sign a document which reads something like this: "I have never belonged to any labor organization, nor will I affiliate myself with any so long as I am employed by this company." 'Mustn't Tell Association Officials. If the men ask for an explanation as to the object of the document they are told that it is for the good of both employer and employe, but that officials of the Amalga mated Association must not be informed of the plan. As soon as the firm learns that a man is a member of the association, it is charged, his services are dispensed with. From 15 to 25 men who have been dis charged at Steelton because of their affilia tion with the organization have obtained employment in Pittsburg and vicinity. The men are organizing, and they claim that had they gone into the association long ago they might have escaped the present difficulties. As itls, a strike is expected July L There are four lodges at Steelton; one has over 800 members, another about 400 and two nearly 200 each, making a total of about 1,400 , members. This number includes about four-fifths of the whole number of employes at that place. They will send from 12 to 15 dele gates to the coming convention, and will be a large factor in the adoption of a scale which they will insist on having signed July 1, if it requires a strike to do it Disclaiming a Strike in Advance. If a strike occurs the men declare it will be no fault of theirs, as their claims are rea son ible and are supported by the officials of the association. President Weihe has made several visits to Steelton for the purpose of I adjusting the trouble, but has never been successlul. The nrm has simply taken a stand against recognizing the association, and the officials of the latter are determined L to force a recognition. xne troubles att Jilmira, Logan and pen coyd remain unsettled, and the strike at Harrisburg is still on. The latter has lasted for two weeks. President Weihe has been absent from the city for several days, and among the places where he has been are Steelton and Harrisburg. The Picnic Committee met yesterday at Beaver and completed arrangements for the reunion, which will be held on June 6. THE BUTCHERS' CONVENTION To Open In Allegheny Next Week and Con tinue for Three Days. The National Butchers' Association will hold its sixth annual meeting in Carnegie Hall, Allegheny, from the 26th to the 28th of this month. The session last year was held in Cincinnati. William Peters, a Dia-; mon'd Market butcher, is President of the National Association, and, will preside at the meeting. Fred Beilstein is chairman of the Allegheny Association, and, with the co-operation of Jacob Bichter, he has been actively engaged in.making preparations for the entertainment of delegates, which are expected from all parts of the country. A delegation will be here from Texas. Wheeling, Cincinnati, St Louis, Chicago, Detroit and Philadelphia are expected to be fully represented, and a number of the dele- fations will be headed by bands of music, 'rom 200 to 300 visiting delegates are ex pected. A banquet will ba given on the 28th at the Allegheny Turner Hall, on North Canal street The Great Western and Allegheny City Bands will furnish the mustc during the sessions of the convention.

Officials of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Bailroad Company claim that they have no knowledge that their brakemen will strike. Prank T. Howley, ex-Master Workman of Union No. G2 of Switchmen, said last night that he could not understand how the diffi culty in Chicago could be termed a strike, because no strike had been ordered by the Supreme Council. Grand Master Sweeney was accredited with saying that it was not a lockout, but a Btrike, and in this respect Mr. Howley claims Mr. Sweeney is inconsistent DECIDED AT LAST TO GO.

This fight is of such a long duration and so bitter on a certain line that it needs no rehearsal. It is hardly probable that other assem blies can be induced to leave the organiza tion. Squabbled About the Streets. The contractors who are paving the streets of Wilkinsburg got into a squabble with the Duquesne Traction Company the other night The railway company was anxious to put down its tracks on the streets on whioh the borough has given them the right of way, so they allowed their laborers to tear up the pa,V.inS na ne contractors had put down. There was a lively dispute for an hour, which ended in the triumph of the contractors and the discomfiture or the Du quesne people. Bedding for Italians.

" BOLW.. vwiMi PROTECT THE MEN! , Master Builders Seem Anxious to Get Em ployes to Betorn to Work A Practical Fledge That Fines Win Bo Paid by Em ployes No New Developments. The Builders' Exchange held its regular meeting in Lafayette Hall yesterday after noon. The first business transacted was the reduction of the initiation fee from 550 to 510, for the time being. Bearing on the present building trade troubles the follow ing resolutions were adopted: Eesolved, That all employers will put nil tho men to work who apply and are willing to work nine hours a day at last years wages. Eosolved,-That the Builders' Exchange pledges itself collectively and the members individually to support the different trades associations in their efforts to, enforce the working rules which their associations have adopted. Whereas, The Builders' Exchange, recog nizing the fact that the workingman's labor is his capital, and that it would he unreason able to oxflfect him to risk his all against the organizations with which he has heen affil iated by breaking away from it and return ing to work under the rules adopted by the various master's associations without some guarantee of protection in the future, there-1 fore, he it Eesolved, That this Exchange as a body and each member individually do soiemly pledge themselves to protect all workmen who choose to exercise their individual rights and go to work under tho rules adopted by their employers. Resolved further, That there shall he no settlement of the present labor troubles without a distinct understanding that the men who may go to work under the rules shall not be persecuted in any way, either by fines or, otherwise, in their respective unions. Secretary Hamilton was uncertain as to time when a conference committee would be appointed, but he thought one would be named at the meeting next Thursday. The Building Trades Council met last night, but no definite action was taken bearing on the subject Mr. Schwartz said there was nothing new in the situation. Uniontown carpenters have been notified that unless their demands are granted with in a reasonable time all the unions con nected with the Trades' Council will be called out to help them through. The Central Plumbing Company have withdrawn their demands for the adoption of the new rules, and' have agreed to let their men return to work under the old rates. SETTLED ON LABOR DAY. The Trades Council Have Selected a Bay v Early in September. The regular meeting of the Central Trades Council was held last night. The following resolution on the subject was adopted: Whereas, The first Monday in September, by request of the labor organizations of tho State, has been set apart by the State Legis lature as Labor Day, and has been made a legal holiday; and Whereas, It behooves the labor organiza tions of AVestern Pennsylvania to observe in a becoming manner said Labor Bay; there fore be it "Eesolved, That a committee of nine be ap pointed to consider and report to this or ganization the most feasible manner to cele brate said Labor Day, whether by picnic or parade.

The subject of a site for the Carnegie Li brary was next taken up and the following resolutions adopted: Whereas, A suggestion having been made in the newspapers that tho scene of the late fire on Seventh street and Penn avenue would make an excellent location for the proposed Carnegie Library and Music Hall, on account of its central location and easi ness of access; and a suggestion that the ob jections of the Library Commission on the score of excessive cost of ground might be overcome by means of a popular subscrip tion to raise the necessary. amount; and Whereas, TVehave had on previous occa sions the assurance of both Mr. Carnegie and James B. Scott, Chairman of the Commission, in letters to the Council, that the wishes of the worktagmen-should receiva every con sideration in this ma ttor;-therefore be it Resolved, That the Central Trades' Coun cil heartily endorse these suggestions as being both practical and " economical, and urge upon Mr. Carnegie, the Library Com mission, the newspapers, the various labor organizations, the city officials and -the pub lic generally, to give the matter their most earnest consideration before it is too late, in order that the proposed HBrary may indeed fulfil the expressed desire of Its promoters and be "a thing of beauty and a joy forever" to the masses. Mayor Gourley's squabble with the chiefs pf departments was the next topic, and caused considerable discussion. It resulted in the appointment of a Committee onBeso lutions, and they reported the following,' which was adopted: Resolved, That the Central Trades Council of Western Pennsylvania do heartily ap prove of the protest entered by Mayor Gour ley on the proposed amendments to the city charter now beforo the Legislature. Resolved, Further, that it Is the sense of this body that tho heads of the different city departments; should be elected by the people, and we earnestly petition Governor Pattison to use his veto on any measure which does not include this recommenda tion. Wants Someone to Call. Chairman J. M. Miller, of a green bottle blowers' committee, has $300 in his posses sion, which was voted by his organization some time ago to aid the coke strikers, and he would like to have someone authorized to receive the same call for it. He lives at 91 South Twenty-sixth street BUSINESS MUST MOTE And Market Street Is the Most Available Street In the City. The time has passed that the business of this great growing city can be done on a few squares of Kfth avenue, Smithfield and "Wood streets. The enormously high rents of these few blocks make every article pur chased in them cost 25 per cent more than it is worth. Market street was in former time the first business street of the city. The buildings becoming old and unfit for busi ness houses, and the owners in their short sightedness did not rebuild new buildings, the business naturally slipped up town, where new buildings were to he had; but It is an established fact that a retail business can again be done on Market street. Stoughton & Stulen have opened an entire new retail business under the style of house decoration, at 101" Market street; corner of First avenue, formerly the retail stand of Porterfield & Stevenson, and are doing a fine retail business in wall paper, lincrusta, picture moldings, house, sign and fresco painting, calsomining, glass of all kinds.

CEAP-SHOOTEES TAKEN INTO THE NET Inspector Whitehonse, Captain Mercer and Lieutenant Cramer, of the Second police district spent last night raiding the speak-easies in the Soho district As a re sult the Fourteenth ward station was over loaded with prisoners. The raids were made on the strength of informations against the places charging them with being disorderly houses. The first place visited by the officers wa3 the house of Mrs. Mary, Manion, on Bates street, where the proprietress apd two vis itors were sipping the cooling beverage, and they were silently slipped into the bag. Thomas Dickson was the next victim on the list He was located on Second avenue, but at present he and his three visitors are to be found at the Fourteenth ward station. The beer is not with them. John Cain, whose place is on Forbes street, was alone, but he was given company in the wagon. It was Mrs. Bowden, of Canton street, who decided not to go along. When she saw how matters stood, she filled up the glasses for her three guests and then made her escape through the back door while the officers gathered her friends with their lit tle net ' . It was a regular picnic party that was broken up at the house of Anthony Bronesky, an Italian, whose place of business is at the corner of Burlington street and Second ave nue. It was the last place visited by the officers, and it was a fitting cap for the climax of successful raids, as 14 visitors and the proprietor were gathered into the arms of the law and locked up. Magistrate Hynd man will sit in judgment over the unlucky persons this morning, and deal out justice as deftly as any, of the proprietors can deal out beer. On the Sonthside there was also a little line of raids. Mrs. ,Mary Martin made an information yesterday before Al derman Succop against Henry Ackennan, of 716Shelby alley, charging him with keep ing a disorderly house. Last evening Spe cial Officers Carrigan and Kelly made a raid on the house and captured the proprie tor and two .visitors. They will have a hearing this morning. Ruth Ann Woodruff was committed to jail in default of 5500, bail yesterday by Alderman Cahill, on a charge of keeping a disorderly house in Carpenter's alley. She will be given a hearing Tuesday. The crap-shooters furnished a little sport for the police. John Brady and William Joyce, two boys, were arrested by Officer Hillderbeck yesterday afternoon for shoot ing craps on Tnstin street. They were locked up in the Eleventh ward station. Nothing but Wall Paper. We deal in wall paper only, and carry a stock that is nneqnaled in vanety of designs and prices. John S.
