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.

beyond giving her a "smack," and 6aid that
his wife wouldn't get out of bed at 4 o'clock

A POLITICIAN'S ROMANCE.
D. 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.

NOT P0K POLITICAL BUNCOMBE.
Councilman Knox Boasts Mr. Lowe In the
Public Works Committee.
At the meeting of the Allegheny Public
Works Committee last night Mr. Lowe In
troduced a resolution making tho pay of the
city laborers $1 75 per day. Mr. Knox said
the committee did not have power to make
the change. To this Mr. Stowe declared
that Mr. Knox had always worked against
the working people. At this Mr. Knox
jumped up and announced that he was not
making speeches for political buncombe.
A. scene and the defeat of the resolution fol
lowed. A resolution, however, was sent to the
Finance Committee asking them to fix a
unljrm rate for laborers and the Chief of
tho Department of Public Works was In
structed, to add 25-cenls a day to each man's
wages. A resolution for a new Board of
Viewers to condemn the Brighton road with
a view to having the county buy it was also
lost.

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.

FIGHTING MONOPOLIES.
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.

The Stayton-Wyman Case Bemoved Prom
Its Shelf Again.
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.

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.

Members of the B, P. Synod to Be Enter
tained la Some Way or Other.
Evidences of preparation for' the B-P.
Synod, which meets In tho Eighth Street
Church to-day, were visible onaU hands yes
terday. There was a considerable gather
ing, mainly ladies, at Dr. McAllister's
church, but they said it possessed no more
significance than was usual. There .was con
siderable furbishing going on, and the ladles
were as cheerful as though no gladiatorial
combat were scheduled.
A gang of men was strengthening the
building, In anticipation, by putting on an
extra coat of paint. Several members were
seen, but aU said there was nothing new on
the programme. There will be some friction
on the score of entertaining the visiting
heresy hunters, but they will find accommo
dations. The Western Befonned Presbyterian min
isters, numbering atleast25men, meandered
into town last evening from the St. Louis

A PEBFECT TOWN SITE,
Ellwood the Place In Western Pennsylvania
.Now Attracting Attention.
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.

Patronesses of the May Festival Decide to
Collect tile Money Necessary to Pay Off
file Deficit The Unexpected Causes of
'the Trouble.
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:"
