Mayor Gourley yesterday demonstrated that he could engage In a physical as troll as a written combat. Without forewarning ho turned policeman, and created considerable excitement on Market street In endeavoring to stop a fight between a white man and a negro. About 7:30 o'clock Ernest Washing ton, a young colored man, got into a dispute with a "bill poster named Grabely, carrying his pot of paste past the Fourth avenue and Market street corner. The two men clinched and were soon rolling about over the pave ment. A large crowd gathered, but nobody attempted to interfere with the fighters. About this time Mayor Gourley was pass ing along the other side of the street. Seeing the trouble he ran over. The "bill poster was' on-top and held young Washington pinned ngainst the pavement like grim death. The Mayor caught the former by the shoulders and began pulling him off. "Don't pull me off, he's got a knife!" yelled the white man. The Mayor looked down and saw a long blade in the hand of the colored roan, who was vainly endeavoring to get his arm loose to use the weapon. The Mayor then turned his attention to the man underneath, and after a hard struggle succeeded in getting the knifo out of his hand. The white man was then bustled awy and tho crowd that filled the street gave three cheers for His Honor as the colored man was led off to the patrol box with a bleeding lip and sorrowful countenance. Washington arrived at Central station Just as o uiipe unpp was concluding tne morning hearings and was released when It was shown that his opponent struck him first Mayor Gourley says he rather enjoyed the affair. He has not had a chance to exert his muscle for some years, and the occasion was to good to have been missed. It was at least a diversion from the kind of warfare lie lias been engaged in during the past few weeks. A MATErMONIAL MTX-tTP. Husband No. 2 Sued for Threate nlng to Kill His Wife. .

"lcs, sir," said the defendant, who pro ceeded to relate how he had procured tho license, his brido being with him, and how "they nil swore to the affidavits. Mrs. Sellers admitted her other husband was alive, but insisted that William knew of the littis ar rangement and made no objection at the time, three years ago. The 'Squire told them they were both guilty of an infraction of the law, and they had better mind them selves, BAH AWAY PEOH BADEff, Fanny Brings Found Wandering About the Streets of Allegheny.

Buckley and Miss Minnie Zeigler Married at BuffiUo Without the Knowl edge of Friends The IVady's Parents Objected, but Ail Is Kow Forgiven. J. D. Buckley and Miss Minnie Zeigler were the .principals in a very romantic elopement and marriage, which, though it occurred .1 week ago, did not become known until yesterday, when Mr. Buckley took his bride from ths horre of her parents, in the West End, to his boarding house on Penn avenue. One week ago yesterday Miss Zeigler told her parents she was going to the East End to visit a friend. She met Mr. Buckley and a lady friend and immediately departed for Buffalo. After a quiet marriage they re turned to Pittsburg the following day. The young lady went homo and told her parents she was married and they refused to believe It until shown the certificate of marriage with Mr. Buckley. "Mr. Buckley has been "keeping company" with the young lady about ayear and a half, and her parents would never consent to tho marriage, and objected to his visiting her. At last they decided to postpone it no longer, but went to Buffalo and were married. Miss Zeigler's parents are Protestants and Mr. Buckley is a Catholic, which was cause for a part of the objections, but they also ob jected on account of the age of the daughter, sue ueing only a. Mr. Bucklev is 42 years old, but from his appearance one would not think him over 35. He is a widower with a grown-up family. He is a very prominent politician and has been a member of the Central Board of Education for 15 years. He Is manager of one of the departments In Singer, Nimick & Co.'s mill. Since the marriage tho bride's parents have gracefully succumbed and all are now happy. Mr. Buckley is an affable gentleman and nls wife a most charming lady. After a trip through the East they will return to the city and will reside in Oakland, where they already have an elegant home prepared. THE CBII CKET IS NOT DEAD. Anderson People Once More Kegaled.Wlth the Chirping Sound. The Anderson cricket, whose musical chirp in tho elevator ceased during the last Infliction of high water, is once more heard in the house, and there is universal rejoicing from the propri etors down to the bell boys. It was believed for a time that tho plucky little animal had met a watery grave, out several weeks ago the chirping sound was gladly heard in the baggage room. Evidently not liking his new quarters, the cricket trans ferred himself to the wash room, and now he has moved again and Is heard under the stairway which leads to the dining room. Chief Clerk Crosby thinks the cricket is working toward the elevator, and once more will be found in his old home. Jiobody is superstitious about the Ander son, but the presence of a cricket has always been popularly supposed to bring good luck. Pietro Browning had better strap one to his bat the next time he Boston club. NOT P0K POLITICAL BUNCOMBE. Councilman Knox Boasts Mr. Lowe In the Public Works Committee.

MOST GOftJP HIGHER. Judge hlte Directs Refused Whole sale license Applicants TO THE COUET OF LAST RESORT. '--.v' , His Reasons for Knocking Them Oat at the Becent Hearings. YESTERDAY IN THE COUNT! COURTS . Probably some of the 43 applicants for wholesale liquor licenses who went out of the presence of Judge White the other day, convinced that their path to a license was a flowery one, are disillusioned by this time. The Judge yesterday refused to grant re hearings asked by these rejected applicants, and gave reasons for his refusal and answered the exceptions taken specifically. The appellants hope to get such a declara tion from the Supreme Court this' time as will settle the points raised in the Pollard case, so that hereafter they will know what they can depend upon. Judge White says the Court did not rule that it had absolute and arbitrary discretion and did not exercise U; that it assumed no power except such as it considered in strict conformity with the law, and had no inten tion to run counter to the decision in the Pollard case; that the Court did not rule that it had power to judge of the necessity for license, did not pass on that phase and station the grounds of, refusal in express terms; that in the matter of tho three quali fications, citizenship, temperate habits and good moral character, the burden of proof Is on the applicant, and he must satisfy the Court that he is a fit person for the business. An Applicant's Appearance Against trim." The applicant's appearance maybe pre sumptive evidence for or against him in two of the necessary qualifications, and in some InBtances,the Judgi states, parties appeared before the Court, who were manifestly under the influence of liquor; that although the Court has no right to refuse a wholesale license because it Is considered unnessary in a locality named, yet its opinion is that it may properly imagine whether the appli cation is made in good faith or whether as a mere cloak to do an illegal retail business; if the latter it is a trick on the court and a fraud on tho law. In giving his reasons for refusing rehear--ings and reconsiderations, Jndge White says: "After the decision of the Supreme Court In the Pollard case in 1889, all those who had been refused a wholesale license last year obtained them under a misappre hension of that decision. Tho popular opinion was that a a wholesale license was a matter of right and the court had no discre tion In the matter. That led to a flood of wholesale applications last year. More were granted than ever before existed in this county at any time or un der any law. Quite a number, however, were refused, and the reasons for refusal given precisely the same as the reasons given in these cases, namely, that the appli cant did not possess the qualifications re quired Dy law. Home or tnem wore tasen up to the Supreme Court and affirmed last fall. Notwithstanding that decision all who had license last year and many new ones applied for license this year. There were 63 applica tions for bottlers' license, 27 granted, 11 with drawn, and 25 refused. There were 333 ap plicants for wholesale license, 137 granted, 36 wiuiurawu anu aw reiuseu. Great Sources of Intemperance. "The experiences of 1889 and 1890 showed that the small bottle and wholesale places were the greatest sources of intemperance and the evils pf Intemperance, and far worse than regular retail houses. They did not conduct a legitimate wnolesaie Dusiness, Dut sold by retail and carried on mainly a bottle, jug and small keg business in the,neignbor hood, violating nearly every law on the sub ject and influencing great evils upon the community. The police authorities of the cities and boroughs, and public sentiment everywhere, demanded the suppression of such houses. For that reason the Court this year was more strict in reference to .whole sale licenses and more liberal as to" retail. Although the Court has no right to refuse a wholesale license because it may bo of opin ion that a wholesale house is unnecessary in the locality, yet I think the Court may very properly inquire whether the ap- Slicant for a wholesale license is made l good faith to do a wholesale business, or as a mere cover to do an illegal business. The character and means of the applicant, his occupation, habits and business connec tions, the locality, the size and fitness of the house, and, if he has had a license, tho ex tent of his business and bomlt was con ducted, are all matters to bo considered id this question. If the Court is satisfied from the evidence that the atmlication is not made in good faith, but for a fraudulent purpose, I think the license should be refused. It is proper to say, however, that the refusal of licenses in these cases was not on that ground. These applicants who have asked for a re hearing are no more worthy than scores of others who have not as yet made such re quests. But if these are granted a rehearing no doubt many others will then -come In. and we shall have weeks of work, with no assurance that, in the end, there will not be as much dissatisfaction as now. I have gone over my notes of testimony on all these cases, and have carefully considered all the reasons urged in support of theso motions. I am not convinced of any error we committed ns to the law, or of any mis take we made in tho facts. Three of the ap plications oro by Lutz & Son, brewers, who ask for wholesale license in different places, having already been granted a brewer's license and also a bottler's license. There were 27 such applications by different brew ers. The reasons for refusing them are stated in the order in tho case of Pier & Dannals." E0BBT SHE SIGNED. Mrs. Fleming. Assigned Her Property at Sewlckley and Now Wants It Back. Judges Collier and Slagle will render a de cision this morning on arguments in equity proceedings brought by Mrs. Sarah Fleming, wife of Cochran Fleming, to set aside the transfer- of her property to his assignee, and to restrain the sale of property advertised to be sold to-day. The defendants are John B. Beno, who is the assignee of Cochran Fleming & Co. and Cochran Fleming, J. Kldd Fleming and Cochran Fleming, Jr., partners in the firm. Tho property referred to consists of 13 acres ot land situate on Gore street and Cen tennial avenue, Sewlckley, assigned by Mrs. Fleming in 1890 for the benefit of her hus band's creditors. Mrs. Fleming avers she signed over the property to J. B. Beno with out advise and without receiviug any con sideration for it. She now pleads that the instrument, as far as it purports to assign to Bono her individual real estate, is void and of no effect because of tho facts set forth, also that as a married woman she has no power to make such disposition. She asks for a restraining order to prevent the sale of the property, and she also prays for a decree making the assignment void and of no effect. TEET SALLIED TOO LONG. Plaintiffs in a Case Have It Continued Be cause They Weren't on Time. The suit of Michael D. Eose and Nicola Cliazi against M. P. Howloy & Son was placed on trial before Judge Stowe yester day. The case was an action to recover an installment of purchase money paid for a house. The sale afterward fell through, and it was claimed the agents refused to return the amount paid them, $80. When the court reconvened at 12:45 o'clock, the plaintiffs and their attorney hadnot ap peared. Ju,dge Stowe waited for them nearly 15 minutes and then ordered the jury withdrawn and the case continued at the cost of the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs and their attorney returned an instant later, but the case had gone over. - To-Day Trial tist.

The National Butchers' Association Opens Its Session In Allegheny Ecfuged to Change the Representation Mr. Gard ner, of Texas, Opens War on the Dressed Beef Kings. The Butchers' National Protective Asso ciation opened its sixth annual session to day in the lecture room at Carnegie Hall There are about 200 delegates present, and they represent 18 States. Addresses of wel come were delivered by Mayor Wyman, of Allegheny, and Mayor Gourley, of Pittsburg. Ex-President James, of St. Louis, made a speech against dressed beef, and showed how the home markets were destroyedby dressed beef producers. In the afternoon reports of committees were read. The matter of a national trade mark was laid over until to-day. The policy committee recommended that there should be a representation of one delegatofor every 10 members Instead of 20. The Philadelphia' delegation favored it, because It would bring In small towns, while the Western members opposed it on account of expense, and it was lost. The committee also suggested that the question of establishing a distributing point for livo and dressed stock should be dis cussed. On this question Mr. A. Gardner, of Dallas, Tex., made a lengthy address. In which he said the question was one of vital importance, not only to the association, but also to the consumer. The stockmen of the West are looking to tho association to pro tect them from- the Chicago monopolistic combine. This monopoly forces up prices and comes into active competition with every butcher. The speaker advocated that the association adopt measures whereby butchers can buy their stock direct from the Western fields. Mr. Gardner was inter-, rupted, as the time for adjournment had ar rived, and he will finish his address at this morning's session. HBST BAD ACCIDENT.

The Stayton-Wyman contest for the May oralty of Allegheny was again taken out by Commissioner John D. Shofer yesterday, and placed in the strong glare of the fitful sunshine, so as to drive the motbs off It, but this was all that was accomplished, as Mr. Brennan wasn't on hand, and tho Stayton side couldn't go on without him. Mr. Hughey, one of Mr. AVyman's counsel, stated that he was anxious to see the busi ness ended, and certainly the Commissioner is, as his office is cramped by reason of the vast aggregation of ballot-boxes in it, and on which no warehouse charges are running.

D, A. 135 Will Be Attached to the K. ef L. Hereafter. DOINGS 0P A DAT IN LABOR CIE0IES- The Carpenters' District Council made an important move last night which will pre vent a repetition In the future of such a sen sation as was created within the past week. Instead of the entire district being under the control of one man there will hereafter be Ave special agents each having a sub-district to look after. Tho "meeting last night was a lively one, lasting until midnight. The Irwin case was was rehearsed from beginning to end. He, was not present himself and no ran oflBred' to defend his action In relation to theposi-- nuii m mo pianing mm owners. The action of the Strike Committee in suspending Mr. Irwin was sustained, and he was finally dis charged from further service as special agent. The matter of filling the vacancy then came up and Mr. Swartz was at once named for the position, but he promptly refused to accept the office. This was a complete sur prise to every one of the delegates, as be had been regarded a certainty ever since the present difficulty commenced. Five Districts Where There Was One. Someone suggested the idea of dividing the district into five districts and placing a man In each, and tho plan was adopted unanimously. The election followed, re sulting in the selection of J. G. Snyder and Robert Davis for Allegheny; John Flattery for the lower Bection of the city; Theodore Stonerod for Lawrencoville and the East End, and William Bitchey for the Southside. Mr. Swartz was continued as Chairman ot the Strike Committeo and given power to appoint, temporarily, any additional agents that may be necessary to transact the Dusi ness of the organization during the strike. Under the new order of things, the corps of special agents will begin to-day, as Mr. Sny der put it after the meeting last night, "to undo what has been done In the last month." Continuing, he said Mr. Irwin's action had not hurt tho eight-hour fight, but the busi ness of the District Council will need some straightening out before they can proceed. Mr. Swartz was seen after the meeting. He said the new agents would take charge at once and that for the present ho will have general supervision over the district and 'give them any assistance he can. He would not state his reason for refusing the position himself, further than to say that he did not want to have anything to do with the job. "What effect will this flurry have on the strike?" was asked of Mr. Swartz. No Effect on the Present Strike. "None at all. It is all over now, and with but very few exceptions our ranks are more solid than they were before this occurred. We are gradually winning, and the fallacy of the argument of planing mill owners is be ginning to dawnupon the public. With but about three exceptions the planing mill peo ple do not make any pretense at competing with outside cities. A majority of them handle the outside material and make the profits on it themselves." Mr. Irwin was defended yesterday by members of the Master Builders' Associa tion. Secretary Hamilton said the views ex pressed by the ex-agent tallied exactly with the sentiment conveyed by the General Secretary, P. J. McGuire, during his recent conference with the contractors. E. A. Holmes, a prominent member of local nnton No. 230, which is said to be upholding Irwin, said yesterday afternoon that the lat ter naa taken tne proper stand exactly. "The only fault I have to find with Mr. Ir win," he continued, "Is that he did not come out like tho man he is and make the state ment before the strlkecommcnqed. Itwould have saved a great deal of energy and the strike would nave been settled." - ""What effect will it have on the planing mill hands!" "Why, every man would go back to work but for one thing. As long as the mill owners keep their present rule3 posted up we cannot go back except as non-union men. A lively Meeting Anticipated. "Let them take down those rules and we will bo back at work. There will bo a lively meeting of our union on Friday night, and I will not be surprised If tho union supports Mr. .Irwin." Mr. Swartz said yesterday the report that the employes of Murphy & Dlebold's mill had returned to work was untrue, but the firm stated that two of the five who quit are now back at work and four new hands are on duty. Threo non-union bricklayers were brought to tho city yesterday, but were promptly in duced to leave the city again. Work was continued on the new Davis Theater and the King building on Liberty street. The first bieak in the ranks of the master Slumbers has occurred. James Darning & o. withdrew the new working rules, and allowed their men to go to work. WITHDBEW IN A BODY. Miners of N. D. A, 135 Will Be Attached to the K. of I. Hereafter. The minors of N. D. A. 135 met in K. of L. Hall yesterday and decided to withdraw from the National District, form an inde pendent district and attach themselves to the Knights of Labor. President Hugh Mc Laughlin was present, but declined to pre side over the convention, as some grave in sinuations had been made regarding his official connection with tho district. Secre tary Boyd was not present. John Bcilly occupied the chair. Dele gates wero present from all tho railroad mines and several of the river mines. The question of rates was discussed and it was decided that the present rate or 79 cents should be maintained, and a conforenco committee, consisting of Thomas Cook, Ed ward Hearty, Patrick Halloran, M. G. O'Neill and John Beilly, was appointed to meet the operators to make the figure per manent. The withdrawal Of the district from the National District was the subject of conver sation in labor circles last night. The action is the result of dissatisfaction, several locals having grievances against the officers. The change will put new life Into the Knights of Labor and a large increase will be made in the membership of D. A. 3, to which the new district will be attached. Industrial Motes.

No new town In Western Pennsylvania has ever attracted so much attention or called forth so many exyressions of ap proval as Ellwood. A prominent banker who visited the phenomenal town last week, said: "It is the most perfect town site I've ever seen, and will soon come to he known as the most charming spot in the State." A steel manufacturer from Chicago speaks his mind thus: "I am delighted, I'll come here often andbring my friends. For grand scenery, the Bhine does not compare with the Connoquenessing. That drive through Glen Park is a feast to the lover of nature, and the Hotel Oliver is a gem." A prominent lawyer expressed his Opinion as follows: "I saw from a Pittsburg and Western car window the neatest hotel I had ever seen, and on inquiry I found it was the Hotel Oliver, at Ellwood on-the-Connoque-nessing. I immediately called on Black & Bain, with them inspected the place and bought several lots." A newspaper man thus voiced his senti ments on his first visit to Ellwood: "This is" a perfect revelation.- It is what Pittsburg needs more than any city in this country a convenient place for people to escape to." A shrewd and successful retired business man has this to say: 'I've bought several lots at Ellwood and expect to purchase sev eral more. It is bound to be a great place. I never saw natural advantages compare with those of Ellwood." The sale of property to parties who are al ready improving it is remarkable, and every day brings inquiries from distant points. Ten handsome residence lots facing Fourth street were sold yesterday to nve parties, all of whom will build fine residences, each honse to occupy two lots. Work on one of the dwellings was begun to-day. Scores of buyers will be there Saturday t May 30. The owners will not permit auction sales, but our representatives are always at Ellwood.

A meeting of the patronesses of the May Festival was held yesterday afternoon fo consider means for paying off the deficit. Miss Kate C. McKnight was president, and several gentlemen were called Into the con sultation. Mr. Jenksread a statement and answered numerous questions. The sense of the meeting was that whoever was legally liable for this Indebtedness it was the concern of all persons Interested In Pittsburg's musical progress to see it wiped out. The patronesses decided to raise as much of the money as possible. It was shown that the Festival manage ment had reasonable hope of financial suc cess, based upon the sale of 100 private boxes. But only 02 were sold, making the box sales $3,800 less than expected. This, to-' gether with the disadvantages of- cold weather and the cost of the hall being; greater than expected, caused the trouble. The following committees were named:" Executive Committee, Mrs. Henry Holdshlp, Miss Harding, Mrs. C.L. Magee, Mr. H-K-Porter, Mr. Charles H. Bead and WillJamB. Thompson; Printing Committee, Mrs. O.
