LIFTING
THE CLOUDS
May Prove a Much Harder Task Than
the ladies' Health Association
Had Anticipated.
WHAT WHOLESALE SMOKEBS SAT,
The Majority of Them Willing to Make the
Change if the Proper Appar
atus Is Found.
OXE CONSUMER THAT WOULD XOT WOEK.
Emmc Motive Likely to Lead tbe Law in Securing
the Seeded Eeform.
If tho Ladies Health Protective Associa
tion prosecutes the Junction road, as they
threaten, for burning soft coal in their en
gines against a city ordinance forbidding it,
they may have some trouble in making out
a case. Superintendent Holbrook, of the B.
& O., claims that nothing but coko is burned
in the Junction engines, anda greatnuisance
It is in his opinion. lie was surprised -when
told yesterday that the ladies had the list of
Cays on -which tho Junction -was guilty of
throw ing off clouds of black smoke,
TheJ feeling among hosts of tho railroads,
manufacturers and the owners of big build
ings Is that motives of economy will regu
late the smoke nulsanco long before legisla
tive enactments will reach the desired end.
As a rule, tho persons from whoe buildings
and mills come tho great black clouds,
ore willing to remedy the evil, while some
others say their chimneys may smoke until
there is some law to compel them to stop.
-Xcvertheless there is every reason to bc-
liove that large users of coal, and especially
manufacturers of iron, will themselves turn
to the use of stokers as measures of economy.
Economy Demands a Change.
During the last few years the capacities of
the mills In Allegheny county have been
largely Increased, necessitating, in conse
quence, additional boiler power. Corre
spondingly, the item of fuel has become of
lnoi-o importance, and since coal has once
lnore assumed its reign, versus natural gas,
retired, manufacturers have been figuring
on means to economize in fuel in proportion
to the rate in which the ga fuel -n as cheaper
than tho coal. It is claimed for tho auto
matic stokers w Inch are now being put on
this market that as good results can be ob
tained in steam-raising by tho use of coal
dust, and the refuse of mines if fed into tho
grates through the stoker, ab can now be ob
tained by hand-nring with ordinary steam
coal. The cot of tho coal dust is nominal
beside that of the steam coal, and manufact
urers are said to bo figuring on means for
using it.
Hut the matter with which the publio nt
large are concerned Is that of tho smoke
nuisance. The automatic stokers not alone
axe economical in burning coal, but there
are fitted to them certain chambers, which
. eliminate from tho smoko its heavy gases
and rofuso, permitting very little more than
vapor to pass away through the stacks. This
statement is controverted by some people,
but several -nho are qualified to pass un
prejudiced opinions regarding these auto
matic stokers believe that their general use
would practically put tho quietus on tho
smoke nuisance.
Finns That IIae Made tho Test.
Among the firms which are using stokers
are Oliver & Boberts, Oliver Bros. & Philips
in their Fifteenth street mill, the 'Westing
house Machine Company, Twenty-fifth
street; Armstrong Bros., at tho cork factory;
Pleasant Valley road power house, and Alle
gheny City light plant.
Even as late as yesterday a complaint
-with the names of about 40 citizens of the
Thirteenth ward attached was received by
the building inspectors against -hat is
known as tho Model Laundry. Tho com
plainants say the laundry nioke is a nuis
ance to tho whole neighborhood nnd they
wish it abated.
Superintendent Holbrook, of the Baltimore
and Ohio, in speaking of the nuisance re-
Jrortcd about the Junction road, only
aughed and said: "Only coke is burned in
the Junction engines, and I don't know
when coal was used. The road has
been burning coke sinco it opened.
A Baltimore and Ohio englno may
occasionally go over the road to assist in
pulling cars, out the Junction road has cer
tainly not violated tho city ordinance. On
the Baltimore and Ohio we burn soft coal.
Coming into the city the passenger fires are
allowed to run down, and these trains make
little smoke. Going out, of course, they
must keep up steam, and more smoke fs
thrown out. The Baltimore and Ohio on
the Pittsburg division is not experimenting
with smoke consumers for its engines. The
locomotives are supplied with a stack which
is intended to avoid the nuisance to some
extent,"
Cleanliness 'Was Once Attempted.
Several years ago the Baltimore and Ohio
experimented with coke on the passenger
engines. It was very successful, and the
trains were so clean in consequence that
the road intended to use it on all
the passenger locomotives. For some rea
son it was not done, probably on account of
ithe cost incurred in putting in new fire
Tioxes. The Baltimore and Ohio throws out
Its share of smoke, but Superintendent Ilol
brook can see no remedy for the evil at pres
ent. At the Junction ofiice Superintendent
lfinney was not in, but his clerks thought it
was ridiculous to make an example of the
road, as It runs through a -u ilderness for tho
greater part of the way. Thev did not ap
pear to be well posted on the subject.
It was also learned that the smoke problem
is an interesting study with railroad men,
but thoj are inclined to laugh at tho offorts
of tho ladies to force them by law to use
smoke consumers on locomotives. They
claim it can't be done successfully or they
""would have adopted a plan long ago.
uo not aays, witn a oaseoall game in tho
these mill men did something to avert tho
nuisance he thought tho road would take no
steps, and they were not afraid of prosecu
tions. He knew of no successful smoko con
sumers for railroads.
The Lake Erie peoplo thought their road
was all right, as nobody had made com
plaints. The Uttlo lino throws out as much
smoke as somo roads more. pretentious in
their claims. They are not using smoke
consumers, and from present appearances
do not intend to do so.
Vnil Walt for the Law to Stove.
The big stack at Arbucklo & Co.'s building,
on Liberty avenue, has that awful habit of
emitting an over-abundance of dirty black
smoko which spreads itself nil over that
section of tho city and makes life a burden
to pedestrians when the atmosphere hap
pens to be such as to drive it earthward.
This is accepted by the company with a
great deal more resignation than by those
who get the full benefit of it. It is not the
fault of the company.iowever, as a smoko
consumer was tried recently, but it proved
to be worthless and was taken out. Sinco
then the smoke stack has been pushed sky
ward Just as far as possible and in this way
the nuisance has been somewhat abated.
When asked yesterday what would be done
by the company on account of tho move
ment started by the ladies, W. W. Kerr, said
that they had done all that is possible under
tho circumstances nnd will do nothing more
until they are compelled to. They will prob
ably wait until thev see a consnmer success
fully worked and then put ono in. The com
pany is as anxious to get rid of tho smoko as

Superintendent Ifaysmith, of the Alle
gheny County Electric Light Company, said
yesterday that he proposed to adopt auto
matic stokers when they moved into their
new premises, at tho corner of Eleventh and
Pike streets. They were now using gas, but
would use coal eventually.
"Its impossible," he" said, "to carry as
even a fire when it is hand-fired as with the
use of the stoker. The only point in their
use is that the fire must not be allowed to
clinker: I believe that the uso of stokers
will dlsnense with the heawtmll of smoke
which is liablo to hang over the city during
the summer days, nnd I think that coal
users will come to favor their use as much
from motives of economy as a desire to keep
the atmosphere clear."
Marshall Bros, stated that for somo time
past they had Ueen considering how they
were to get ntt or tneir smoKe, ana mu
finally decided that it must bo disposed of
in some manner, and had determined upon a
plan which is now being put into shape.
They state that they expect to have tho
matter remedied this week. When this firm
was first formed, 73 years ago, coal was so
cheap in this town that its waste was not
thought a matter of moment. Old-time
Pittsburgers, also, like Mr. Pickwick, as
sociated the ideas of dirt and thrift, and
thought ono could not exist without tho
other, consequently there was no outcry,
and the population rather reveled in tho
lory of their town's reputation of being tho
irtiest and thriftiest in the Union.
Soot and Law From One Building.
A large amount of power is generated in the
St. Nicholas law building, at Fourth avenue
and Grant street, and this it is supposed will
bo a shining mark for the lady agitators.
Mr. Gordon, of Dalzell, Scott & Gordon, was
asked what thoy proposed to do in tho prom
ises, and he replied that thev wero in sym
pathy with the smoke-abatement movement
ana oxpectea to nave tne volume tney now
make abated long before they would be
waited uoon. Mr. Gordon stated that the
main troubles is that it is difllcult to decide
upon a remedy. They were not experts
tnemseives, ana Knew not wnat apparatus
was best. Each owner of a plan says that
not only is his the best, but his statements
contribute to the belief that all others
are useless, and lumping all statements
leaves the logical residuum that none are of
any value. Mr. Gordon stated that either
some appliance would be adopted, or the St.
Nicholas boilers would be fired with coke.
Tho engineer had some doubts whether they
had draught enough to insure tho successful
use of coke, but Mr. Gordon thought, as the
stack is 100 feet high, there may bo no
trouble on this head.
CHICAGO SMOKED OUT.
I The -TVTndy City Claimed to Be Ten Times
"Worse Than Pittsburg.
In most of the hotels in Pittsburg gas is
burned under the boilers when it can be
obtained. At other times coal is used, and
tho proprietors admit that considerable
smoko is emitted from the stacks.
There may be some consolation for Pitts
burgers when it is claimed that Chicago is
ten times smokier than this city. An effort
is being made there to line up the people,
but so far it has resulted in failure. Com
mercial Agent DImmock, of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul road, who has
lived in the Windy City for years, says that
Pittsburg Is clearer by far than Chicago.
When he walked down town about three
fourths of a mile from his home on tho
Northside, as ho sometimes did, his collars
and cuffs were covered with dirt and soot.
It used to be this bad in Pittsburg, but un
der tbe semi-reign of gas the old state has
not yet been reached.
afternoon, it is a difllcult lob to find the nun.
agers, but the hard-working chief clerks nre
always accessible, andas anile thevare will
ing to furnish information. General Manager
W ood, of the Pennsylvania Companv, is not
in the city, but Chief Clerk Blair, speaking
for the Fort Wayne and Panhandle, said;
Uae Tackled a Very Big Job.
"I am afraid the ladies have a tough Job on
their bauds. It is a difficult thing to nvoid
smoke in a manufacturing town, and the
only way it can bo done is by driving the in
dustries out of tho city. Surely they don't
want to do this. On the Fort Wayne mo nre
burning coko in the shifting engines. This
Was done several years ago on complaints
Xhado by Allegheny people that they didn't
want so much smoke in the parks. It would
be impractical to burn coke or anthra
cite coal in all the engines within the city
limits As for the alleged smoke consumers,
Jwhen the nuisance was at its height manu
facturers used them In this city with the ad
ditional incentive that thcT would save
fuel, but they proved dire failures. Until a
: successful consumer is made we -n ill have to
ipct up with tho smoke. It is as disagreea
Jbleto railroad men and manufacturers as
t other people. So far as I know, the Ft.
Wayne road is not making anv experiments
to got rid of the smoke from its engines."
On the Pennsylvania road the passenger
engines are supplied with a consumer, which
is used as the locomotive entcis a Station.
It is an apparatus which turns the smoke
back Into the fire box, but interferes with
getting up steam, and is not ucd when loco
motives are running at full speeu. By turn
ing a leer tho engineer can shut off tho
smoke in a station, but in pulling out of a
depot the apparatus is opened up. These
smoke consumers are not ued within the
city limits, and they could not be put on
freight engines without making themuse-
Xo Practical Appliance for Locomotii eg.
Several years ago the Pennsylvania exper
imented with petroleum in running trains.
It was very satisfactory, and left behind no
smoke and little dirt, but tho officials were
afraid it would prove disastrous In thoovent
of wreckF, and the new idea was dropped.
The Pennsylvania peoplo have not yet been
able to get a successful consumer that does
not interfere with the -Hoiking of tho en
gine. They also claim that coke or anthra
cite coal -within the city limits would be too
expensive. In this event fn o sets of loco
motives would be necessary, and all trains
would bo broken nnd delajed to change the
engines.
At the Allegheny Valley office both Gon
eral Superintendent McCargo and Superin
tendent Price could not bo found. The chief
clerk said tho Vallov was lined on nil sMu

The Supreme Court May Get Leave to Hear
the Hog Island Case.
Alderman McMastcrs has given Messrs,
Nesbit and Treadway Judgment for more
than they claimed from Ferree and McCabo
for sand taken from Hog Island, or Ilog bar,
and tho case is now likely to become a cele
brated one and get to the Supreme Court in
consequence. It was expected that tho
Judgment would be in each case less than,
$5 33, so that no appeal could bo taken, but
as it was shown that the amount sued for
was much less than that taken, Judgment
has been rendered for the full amount re
ceived, so the cases will reach the court on
appeal.
Attorney X. W. Shafer for tho defenso will
send to Hanisburg for a full abstract of all
the proceedings taken in getting tho patent,
and as this Is not the first effort to get one,
tho matter may-become voluminous. As tho
present Claimants to the title aro generally
lawyers there will doubtless be a big legal
picnic between "oldresidenters" and "squat

label are in good spirits and there is a pres
sure of combativeness on each sido sufficient
to make a rattling fight.
After all tho talk, denials and exaggera
tions 27 men claiming to bo manufacturers
of tin plate in the present and prospective
met at tho Anderson yesterday and formed
an association. It now looks as if this much
discussed product will bo made in America
after all.
Tho organization was completed by tho
election of J. W. Britton, of Cleveland, Pres
ident; John Z. Speer, of Shoenbergcr & Co.,
Vico President; Warner Arms, Niles,
Secretary, and Alfred Marshall, of
Philadelphia, Treasurer. Of the 27
firms represented, 5 aro now mak
ing tin plate on a small scale.
Some of these are tho St. Louis Stamping
Company, Norton Bros., of Chicago; United
States Tin Plato Company and the Pittsburg
Electro Plating Company, of which P. II.
Laufman is Chairman. Manufacturers of
billets were also admitted, as the tin plato
men are dependent upon them. From tho
testimonv given it was learned that about 12
tin plate plants are actually under construc
tion in tho country, and some of them will
bo ready to mako tho plate about September
1. A constitution and by-laws were adoptol,
and for tho present Cleveland will be head
quarters. A central location is desired, and
it is possiblo Pittsburg will be selected,
though Wheeling is making 6trong claims.
What tho Association Will Do.
The object of tho association was defined
to bo to secure unity of action among tho
manufacturers of tin and tcrno plates in
America, and to overcome the difficulties
and utilizo tho advantages mutually, offered
in establishing a permanent business in tho
country. It was decided to hold tho next
meeting hero Juno 17. Specimens of tin from
tho Black Hills, California and Virginia wero
exhibited, and it was claimed that in all
these places tin was found in paying quanti
ties, thus refuting tho statements made that
tin ore was an unknown quantity in tho
United Statcs
P. H. Laufman, of Pittsburg, said that a
capacity of 00,000 tons per annum was repre
sented at the New York meeting, and fully
iw.uuu tons annually nt tne garnering nero
yesterday. It was reported that two new
plants havo been commenced at Philadel
phia and threo moro at points in Ohio.
About 3,500,000 tons of plate aro used
in tho United States yearly, and
the American manufacturers, as soon
as they can get to going, will
make one-third of the amount,
leaving a large margin In tho market for
others to jump in. Mr. Laufman said that
his company at Apollo could make tin plate
in spite of the tariff. He says as soon as tho
tariff was cut down, ten j-ears ago.and forced
many niauers into Danxruptcy, tne ioreign
ers put up tho price about $1 50 per box.
When the McKinley bill was passed, and
since then, they have reduced the price 8
shillings and mado a gieat noise, to scare
Americans out of tho business; but thoy aro
not so easily frightened.
Tariff Has Reduced tho Price.
The Apollo concern is now making 110
boxes of plato per day, which they aro sell
ing for $16 50 per box. The original rate was
$21, and Mr. Laufman adds that this only
shows how the tariff has already reduced
the price, ne also guarantees a better qual
ity, and points to tho foreign tcrno plate on
tho Court House, which is now worn out
after threo years' use. Ho claims his plato
would last 20 years.
A short meeting was held last evening.
Mr. Cronemyer mado a speech about a re
classification of plates which will bo moro
serviceable. Ho was requested with others
to put his ideas in writing and present them
at the next gathering. The firms repre

Investigation at BeUevne.
A special meeting of the BeUevne Union,
No. 492, was held last night to investigate
charges mado by C. W. Brockunier against
tho Strike Committee of that local, to the
effect that the gentlemen acted In a dis
graceful manner while endeavoring to coax
ma mouuwayirom tne snop. xne investi
gation did not show that the
men had done anvthinir wronor. but Mr.
Brockunier threatens to sue the committee
for interfering with men in his employ.
Charges were also preferred against tho men
who had gone to work for Mr. Brockunier.
It Is claimed thoyviolatedtwoof the union's
rules, and they will be given an opportunity
to escape the usual penalty by refusing to
work to-day.
There aro large-sized claims made on both
sides as to the inroads each is making on tho
other. Last night ex-Agent Swartz re
quested that tho following statement, fur
nished by himself, be published:
"Reports are received every day from the
locals showing tho exact number of men on
Strike, and they show no falling off what
ever, except whero tho men have gone in on
being granted eight hours. A close watch is
being kept on all tho planing mills and not a
man could return to work without him be
ing noted by the strikers. Up to date In tho
entiro district onl v 15 or 20 men out of the
membership of 3,650 have gone to work at
nine hours. Thoy wero induced to do so by
tho offers mado by the builders to pay their
fines. The builders mieht have at work tho
numbor of men they claim, but they are
boxmakers, who aro not members of tho
unions on strike, and not carpenters. Tho
boxmakers havo a union of their own, but it
is not affiliated with the carpenters, and
they aro not taking part in tho strike. Tho
men are as determined to-day as they 'were
when they went out.
Strike Benefits Are Paid.
"Tho Builders' Exchange has endeavored
to prevent tho strikers from procuring
material for work, but it have been un
successful. As to tho men receiving their
strike benefits, over $8,000 has been paid out
to the mon up to to-day, and we have plenty
moro."
Tho reporters are not yet allowed to visit
the-Builders' Exchange, and as a conse
quence the members of the latter are al
lowed to carry their news to the papers. Su
perintendent Thompson, of Schutte & Co.,
called at The Dispatch office last night and
said in regard to the statement of Mr. Swartz
that It Is false in nearly every particular.
"If Mr. Swartz will come to our mill to-morrow
I will show him 36 men at work. They
are not boxmakors cither, and nine of the
men are straight-out union men. They
have not been fined vet either. This is
no bluff. We are making no claims for any
one but ourselves, and the public at largo
can visit our mill and see for themselves
that what we claim Is true. Mr. Swartz can
not let the public make a free and open in
vestigation of his claims."
If tne Master Builders appoint a confer
ence committee to-night, it Is likely that a
meeting will be hold Saturday, but tho
chances for a settlement at that time aro
rather slim.
The Master Plumbers' Association held its
regular meeting last evening. It was unani
mously resolved that it was the sense of the
association that there be no deviation from
the rules laid down by the master plumbers
for the government of their employes.
Is said to be in good shape now and doing
lots of business.

A HEARTY WELCOME HOME.
The Parishioners of St. Michael's, Southslde,
Itecelve Their Pastor, Father Bernard,
on His Return From, a European Trip
What He Thought of Borne.
The members of St. Michael's Church,
Southslde, assembled in force last night in
the school house to welcomo their pastor.
Rev. Father Bernard, of the order of Passlon
ists, once more in their midst. The reverend
gentleman returned from a trip to Europe
yesterday morning, whero he had been since
January. He spent a week in the Eternal
City and visited Germany, France and Ire
land. It was tho first time he was abroad,
and also the first timo ho was so long absent
from his cure, whoso welfare ho has always
hold In very great regard.
Tho hall of tho school was crowded last
night by parishioners anxious to see Father
Bernard. on his return, and a lengthy pro
grammo had. been arranged for the occasion.
V, hen tho orchestra had played the march
from "Boccaccio," Rev. Father Christopher
made an opening prayer. St. Michael's Maon
nerchorsang a song of welcome, and P. W.
LaSCheid made a wnlnmnlTir arlrlrpss in
happy terms, alluding to the regret shared
by everyone of his parishioners at Father
Bernard's departure and thoir delight at his
safe return. The Maennerchor sang another
song, and Rev. Father Bernard rose to re
spond to the welcome accorded him.
When the cheer from the lusty German
lungs had subsided, Father Bernard, after
returning his thanks for tho welcome ex
tended to him, gave a short recital of his ex
periences abroad. Ho was in Roma on Holy
ijiuiouttv uuu imu an auaicnce witn tno
Pope on that day, havingproviously received
the Holy Sacrament from his hands. Ho de
scribed the clrcumsorlbed and confined sur
roundings of the head of the Roman Cath
olic Church and referred to the watch which
the Italian Government kept over him. Tho
Papal Swiss Guards might be seen on ono
terrace, but abovo them were tho Italian
Guards on close watch. The Pope was a
prisoner. Father Bernard said that the sur
roundings of tho Vatican were changing
every day. Huge tenement houses
were now being erected so close
to the Vatican as to overshadow
its walls and the landmarks of old Rome
wero being rapidly obliterated. Father Bor
nard was present in the Sistine Chapel dur
ing the anniversary of the Pope's corona
tion. He described the ceremony as a splen
did sight.
Of Ireland, Father Bernard said tho coun
try was in very poor condition and seemed
to be getting worso each day. The peoplo
were leaving, and it was beginning to look
deserted.
Tho singing of "Te Deum Laudamus"
brought the reception to a close. The school
children gave Father Bernard a welcome
homo in the afternoon.

in State Institutions.
T. D. Casey, one of tho inspectors of the
Western Penitentiary, went to Harrlsburg
last evening to urge tho Governor to sign

Mr. Casey will also put in a good word for
P. C. Lazear, who wants to ho one of the

Tho Man Who Captured Xltzslmmons Gets
Into Trouble at Homestead
Officer McAllister, the man who arrested
Murderer Fltzsimmons, was suspended
Tuesday evening by tho Homestead Coun
cils. The trouble appears to lie in the fact
that he arrested a lot of prominent young
men in that town a few nights ago and there
was a question as to his authority to make
tho arrests.
Hon. John F. Cox, who defended tho par
ties, in his address to the burgess claimed
that McAllister was miffed un over clipjm

Threo fine rings, a small gold watch and
chain and several other small articles of
jewelry belonging to Mrs. Bullock wero
taken, and a trunk owned by Andrew Hyer,
a boarder, was broken Into nnd $10 was
stolen. It Is presumed that three men aro
the thieves, because they wero seen about
the house during tho day.

Tho expected settlement of the Conti

terday. The fight is even moro bitter than
it was last week. Tho men are determined
to have their demands granted, and have

claim he will be placing his firm in a posi
tion as antagonistic to organized labor, and
they do not think tho oil well supply would
be ablo to resist tho forces that would be
brought against them in that event.

sented to tho company for a peaceful settle

work, with the wages previously received ty us.
Second That all over-time shall be paid for as
