IT' ft I showing the infiuenw of the accused four as leaders of the liberal movement The Moderator refused to rule on Kev. Mr. Car son's point of order, a.ud said he would re fer, it to the house. Eev. Mr. Carson ob jected to his dodging tiVe responsibility, but without effect. "Unjust!" "Scandalous!" etc., came from liberals all over the home, but Dr. McAllis ter held on and insisted that the letter was traceable to the influence of the ciders in dicted, v Eev. Mr. Carson moved .that the Synod declare disapprobation of t he reading. Dr. McAllister declared that though the nations of the world disinte pate, he at least would go down with colors -lying and would never be false to his Church! and his God; nevertheless he would bowllefore the action of the Synod. Denounced as a Disgrace. Eev. J. E. Thompson denounced the read ing of the letter in the prcseat state of the i:ii- i;cryvoA nnri as iniended to irejuaice ine oynou agiiis wi .v. lers who had no connection with it. .. . .1 11 .

C Smith supported Dr. McAllis ter in presenting the libels hut not in read ing the letter. Eev. X. M. Jonnston, one of the libeled, said Dr. McAllister knew the letter was written and sent before the articles-complained of had been written by the ac cused. Prof. Wilson saidrthe letter may not have had any more to do with the writing of. the articles'thanhadthe flowers of spring, but as Mr. Carson had quietly listened to a part he had no right to object when he did. Eev. J. F. Carson said he supposed for a time it might have tome application, but when he saw the purpose of the reading to be merely to create a sentiment against the accused he objected. During Eev. Mr. Cm-sort's remarks the Moderator let fall his gavel and announced that the time for dei otional exercises had arrived, but Mr. Carson would only yield for a vote to be taken on his motion. The vote was taken and Dr. Mft Allister's, action, so far as reading the letter was concerned, was disapproved by the Synod, and the matter ot the libels went- over -until the afternoon session. KEEPING UP THE INTEREST. The Afternoon Session Alnjost as Xively as That of tho aiorniuj; Dr. McAllister Charged "With Inconsistency In-Having Toted at Varltrtis Times Himself. At the opening of the afternoon session the subject of the libels was promptly re sumed, and grew in interest until the close, many more ladies than usualtcing present, some of them apparently asonuch interested as the delegates themselves. Dr. McAllister held that the -resolution. Timili1 n.oss. as it was unfair to try the young men while older ones concerned nff-liT. cit. in indrment on them. Prof. D. B. "Wilson also urged reference J of the papers to trie uommniee on discip line. The parties had characteri2ed the action of the Presbytery as mere human opinion. This view had been strongly pressed since the beginning of the year, cspeciallv in the publications of the speak ers Brooklyn friend. Prof. "Wilson held that it 'was a cangrene that would continue to work (if not cut out) in the church as in a phvsical bodv until it killed it. Prof. "Wilson next proceeded to read from Eev. Mr. Carson's paper an article on the subject, when Eev. Mr. Carson objected, rising to a point of order that Prof. Mc Clurkin's letter could not be made do duty, and that the publication as a whole was not7 pertinent. The Professor Declared in Order. The Moderator Prof. "Wilson isdn order. Eev. Mr. Carson The Moderator has not heard niv objections, and doesn't know. Prof "Wilson went on and read an article urging that the light be turned on, amid ob jection from Eev. J. S. T. Milligan. After Prof. Wilson had concluded, Eev. J. C. K. Milligan arose and said he doubted Brother McAllister's expressions of loyalty to his Master as well as his professions of love for him, the speaker, but they subse quentlv embraced on this point. Objection was made to the speaker's per sonalities, but he refused to At down and went on to say that Dr. McAllister assumed that the Synod mut come to his feet and find that "the finding of the Pittsburg Presbytery is correct and also that the Prcbvtery of Xew York must find him, the speaker, guilty. Eev. Mr. Milligan be came more and more personal as he went on and charged Dr. McAllister himself with having instilled into his, Milligan's, sons' and nephews' minds the verv doctrine for the promulgation of which they had been tried. He alo said that Dr. McAllister had oted for Freemont wlrilo the speaker had never voted, cither for men or for amendments. An Impassioned Appeal for the Accused Mr. Milligan closed with an impassioned appeal on behalf of the accused who, he said, had been unfairly treated. Eev. J. C. Smith, of Cincinnati, wanted the discussion squelched. Eev. Mr. McClurkin, of Nebraska, father of Prof. McClurkin.rcferred to Dr. McAllis ter's statement that he had spent sleepless nights over this case and said that he, Mc Clurkin, and his wife had also spent sleep less nights over the charge brought against their son. He a'ked why Dr. McAllister had not gone to these young brethren and talked to them privately, as directed in Matthew's gospel. Mr. McClurkin also fired a shot now then into Prof. "Wilson's camp, and said that had it not been for false teaching in theological seminaries this trou ble would never have arisen. Prof. "Wilson arose and wanted -to know if he should be allowed to reply to these personalities. Eev. J. S. T. Milligan Ye, when we have been allowed to reply to his personali ties. Eev. Mr. McClurkin went on to show that the gancrcne arose from another source, and succeeded in stirring up several theological hornets. The Moderator ruled that the question as to the origin of the gancrene wasn't under discussion, but several dissenters continued to discuss it neertheless for some time. Rubbing It Into the Doctor. Eev. J. S. T. Milligan spoke especially plain, and again referring to Dr. Mc Allister, and pointing to him, said that the one without sin was the one who had a right to throw the first stone. JHe said he had learned in the school of experience the advantage of hearing each other's ViexVsaud thus fulfill the law of Christ. Amid cries of "Question" from the ma jority, Ee. Mr. Milligan kept straight along and tore down all opposition, refusing to take his scat,and while excoriating right and left succeeded in some way in restoring good humor. After talking and intenselv inter esting the audience for a time equal to all that had preceded him, he convulsed the audience by stating that he proposed to be brief, and then introducing matter sufficient for a two-hours' talk. Though frequently called to order by delegates and the "Mod erator he persisted an referring to the necessitv of scapegoats. Coming over to Prof. Wilson, the speaker bombarded him at a range of 18 inches and gave him a terri ble Covenanter hammering. His very per sonal remarks soon caused a commotion in the court, but Prof. "Wilson's serenity was not disturbed and he smiled at the energy of his opponent Speaking in a Storm of Protests. Dr. McAllister arose to reply amid a storm of protests and numerous calls for the question, and said they must go through -with the matter and determine the position of the church on it. He held that the young and old men stood on the same platform and that he felt no malice in his action. Eev. Mr. "Warner moved a division of the question as a means of simplification. Dr. E. J. George made an explanation; also a motiou to instruct the Committee on Discipline to hold back the cases of the sus pended seven until the four new ones were polished. Eev. J. C K. Milligan opposed, saying the cases of the seven must come first. ' A motion was made and carried to recon .MtBHBMtssBwksKBisBIMlBEMB aaSJSBWal'ar?

Tir .Tames Armor contended that the II oune men should have all the rights possi- ile to allow them. Dr. E. J. George moved the trial of the old men first Eev. J. C JC. Milligan opposed. Eev. J. F. Carson dwelt on the fact ad versely that it was proposed in the trial of the seven to allow a vote to the Pittsburg Presby tery Committee against them. He said it was the most unfair proposition that could be made. He said he and they expected no merev. bnt thev could so to the men and f women of the church, and'the Synod'would get a staggering answer. Charges of Inconsistency Eev. J. S. T. Milligan charged) that Dr. McAllister was inconsistent; that he had voted in 1856 for Fremont, and had since voted for amendments, and was lately re sponsible for the present trouhleion account of his inconsistencies while he (Milligan) had consistentlv through life, held and taught the doctrine of political dissent, and considered it unfair and unjusttto visit the sins of some of the persecutors on. the ac cused. Dr. E. J. Gcorgo said the great trouble was their distrust of each other. "When one proposes anything he himself is put on trial. He argued that the eldersshould be tried first and thus give them a. chance to defend their sons. The Pittsburg Presby tery is not on trial and cannot betput on the floor. Dr. Armor asked, with some surprise visi ble ih his question, if the Pittsburg Presby tery pxpected to vote on the case of the suspended men. Dr.-George replied that it did, but might not be allowed to do so. He said it did not fear to stand on its record. This discussion occasioned something of a sensation. Profs. Johnston and "Wilson nevt held an animated controversy for the floor, and Prof. "Wilson. -non. Hesaid the Pittsburg Presbytery had anticipated trouble and urged that the elder men should be tried first and stop tho tendency in the Church to drift away Irom its moor ings. President Johnston, of Geneva College, said they could reach the merits of the case as easily by trying the seven first as the four. Benefit of Trying the New Charges. Prof. "Wilson agreed with Dr. McAllister that the trial of the four would bring out discussion the benefit of which the seven could not get, as their case would come up only on the record or certiorari, as it might be termed. Dr. J. "W. Sproull arguedin favor of allowing the accused tohave their own way, as they were evidentlyin the min ority and the majority ought to be liberal and not give cause for reproach. This view of the case finally prevailed and the report of the Committee on Discipline was called for. The committee reported that the majority of the memorials before it opposed the ac tion of the Pittsburg Presbytery, but they were regarded by the committee as ultra vires, and it recommended that they be laid on the table. As to theew York me morial-asking that the suspended ministers be reinstated on acknowledgment of their error, the committee stated that this way was open to them at all times and the mat ter need not be discussed. The proposition of Eev. Mr. Laird was char acterized as hypothetical, as there was no knowledge on the part of the committee that he was empowered to make it As to the appeals, complaints and declina tures of the suspended seven and Prof. Mc Clurkin, the committee stated that they were in shape for the action of the Court To Be Tackled Early Monday Morning. The report was accepted and adopted seriatim, and the last item made the order i of the day for Monday. Routine business was next considered, ana a memorial from the congregation of North Cedar taken up. It asks for a rescinding of the action of the Synod of 1889 on the sub ject of amendments as a violation of the covenant of 1871. The matter was referred to tho Committee on Discipline. The re port of the committee on the subject of pro vision for destitute widows and children of It P. ministers recommended relief and the creation of a fund of $50,000, the interest of the sum to be applied to the purpose. Ow ing to the adjourning hour having arrived no action was taken by the Synod. FRANK G. CAKPENTER has began a tour ofMexico for THE, DISPATCH. It is a more foreign country than any in Europe.

The 3Tew Sonthside Bridge Company earns of tha Existence of a Prior Charter for Its Site Prospects Considered Good for a Compromise. Everything is not so rosy .for the proposed new bridge at South Twenty-second street as was anticipated. The officers of the new company were notified yesterday that a charter was already in existence for abridge across the Monongahela river at that point, and the holders of it did not propose to be left in the deal. This information was received from one of the surprised stockhold ers of the new company, whd. states that he has been shown the plans and specifications of the company, and is satis fied that the other party has prior claim to the site, but that while a few have the charter, the company has the necessary cash and shareholders to make the project a go. A meeting of the two companies will be held next Tuesday evening, when it is hoped that they will be able to make an amicable agreement and the two be merged into one company. "There is no doubt that the Southside needs a bridge at that point," says the gentleman quoted, "and it it is possible we propose to have one by this time next year. Of course, if there is a charter in existence, there will have to Be a compromise of some sort, but the bridge will be built, just the same. There is another scheme in view, of which I am not at liberty to talk at present, but after the conference will be able to give you some definite information."

POSTPONED THE T0WEE BUSINESS. Allegheny Council Sub-Committees Meet and Transact Some Matters. The sub-Committee on Public Lighting of Allegheny met last night but did very lit tle business. The electric towers still re main to illuminate the heavens. The first and only business brought up was the consideration of a resolution of the Common Council, referred to the Committee on Pub lic "Works, and by it handed down to the Lighting Committee. This resolution au thorized the Chief of the Department of Public "Works to advertise for the erection of 50 arc lamps and mast arms to be placed as he might direct After a short discussion it was decided to Teturn the resolution to the Committee on Public "Works, with a recommendation for it adoption. The committee also recom mended that payment be made out of the contingent fund. The other business of taking down the towers, etc., was laid over. The sub-committee on surveys met to consider the question of salaries in the En gineer's offices. The remuneration of four apprentices was increased, two from $25 to f4(J a month, and two from T35 to ?50 a month. The Library Committee was to meet, but could not get'a quorum.

FOR jptDEB, A.Eoanoke Detective Has Jacob Evans Arrested in Allegheny for KILLING CHAELESWATKINS'WIFE. Jl Kttslrarg- Man Knocked Domi and Bouued of Watch andjloney. "WORK OP THE POLICE OP TW.O'HTIES Jacob Evans, as he call -himself, is a good-looking young mulatto who is held in the Allegheny lockup on the very serious charge of murder. H. A. "Webber, the chief of a detective agency of that name in Eoanoke, says in a letter to Superintendent Henry Muth, of Allegheny, ,that .Evans is Charles "Watkins, who murdered his wife, Susie, at Eoanoke, April 6, while the man in the lockup says his name is Evans, that he certainly is not Charles "Watkins, and that "Webber has ordered the arrest of the wrong man. The Allegheny authorities acted in the matter on a lengthy communication re ceived from "Webber,inclosing a photograph of "Watkins and a warrant for his arrest. The letter detailed the murder, and referred to "Watkins as a bright mulatto of stylish appearance, whose ardrobe included such fascinating apparel as patent leather hoots, silk hats and frock coats. The Case Worked Up Closely. The photograph was that of a coloredman of light color, whose face was adorned by a slight mustache and side whiskers. In fact, the "Webber Bureau left nothing undone in tho case, and worked it right up to the point of telling the Allegheny police that "Watkins was then working in Pusey & Kerr's store, at 116 Federal street, under the assumed name of Jacob Evans. In the face of such detailed and positive informa tion the duty of the authorities became plain and very easy, so that when Detec tives Steele and Johnson were handed the Eoanoke warrant all they could do was to take their man, which they very promptly did. "Whether Evans is "Watkins or merely himself and nobody else he can prove a very capital aHbi. He can get very respectable citizens of Allegheny to swear that he was in that city when the murder was com mitted. He was visited by George "W. Kerr, of the firm which employed him, in his cell last night, and he told his visitors that the only inconvenience he experinced was in the fact of his arrest. 'T am not so icnorant" he said, ''as to Tblamc the officers for arresting me. "When a muracr nas oeen committed ana a man is suspected he must be arrested, but I have nothing to do with this case. I left Eoanoke January 4, and came to Pittsburg, went to work for Mr. Kerr in February and have been working for him ever since. I knew Charles "Watkins, and read of the murder in the papers, but I know nothing of it." ' What Evans Did in Eoanoke. Evans said that he was employed as a waiter in Eoanoke, and when he left he was working for Frank "W. Allen, in a store attached to the Crozier Iron Company's works. He lived about 15 miles outside of Eoanoke. Mr. Kerr is convinced of Evans' inno cence of the crime. He says that Evans has been working for him since February, and only took a half day's time from that up to the'present. Evans ,isa good-looking mu latto, with a slight mustache, but without whiskers. These, of course, he could have removed. The only theory for "Webber's assumption that Evans ia "Vatkins is that some former resident of Eoanoke saw Evans in Allegheny, and communicated his suspi cion of his being "Watkins to "Webber. "When a Dispatch reporter was in Con nellsville during the coke riots, a man was arrested there also as Charles "Watkins, the Eoanoke murderer. He seemingly was so, about as much as Evans is. Superintendent Muth has notified "Webber of the arrest EELTEVED OF HIS "WATCH. George Hoffman Knocked Down and Bobbed In Oak-Alley. " George Hoffman was knocked down and robbed of a gold watch and chain in jOak al ley, near Liberty street, about 9:30 o'clock last night Hoffman is a machinist and boards on Bedford avenue. He had been in a Liberty street saloon 'with a couple of friends, and when he started to go home no ticed that two young smooth-faced but tough-looking fellows followed him out Xot suspecting them he paid no attention to them until after he turned off Liberty street into Oak alley, when he noticed they were still following him. t He says he turned to ask what they wanted, when one of the men struck and knocked him down. He regained his feet and was again struck on the head with a handy billy. Before he could rise the two men caught and held him down, at the same time relieving him of his geld watch and chain. The robbers then took to their heels and escaped. Hoffman went to Cen tral station and notified Inspector Mc Aleese, who sent the detectives after the men, but up to a late hour had not found them. r HELD BY THE ENXJIY. C. A.

The Ghost of a Whisky Bottle Starts Church Members to Fighting Bad Results of a Preacher's Admonition Lively Tilt at Stoop's Ferry. Some of the good people who worship in the Sharon Presbyterian Church, back of Stoop's Ferry, are at fever heat "Behold how great a matter a little fire kindleth," wrote the apostle, but he little knew the greater possibilities of whisky for raising a ruction. In this case it was not even whisky, but only an imaginary bottle of whisky. The result is that not only is the Eose of Sharon frosted meantime, out the Lily of the valley is also drooping. The trouble, as related, is that some time ago a young man, Walter Holsingcr, was taken into the church and that someone re marked he had once on a time seen Hol singer in possession of a bottle of whisky. Now this would not ordinarily amount to much, especially as the time specified was previous to to that in which Holsinger joined the church, but it caused much talk nevertheless, and it is said that C. B. Dally suggested to the pastor of the church that he speak kindly to Holsinger about the mat ter. Eev. Mr. Mercer acted upon the sug gestion, but it seems that instead of the ad monition having the intended effect on Hol singer it aroused the old Adam in his nature and he started on the warpath. He was told that James A. Fetzer was the man who told the whiskey-bottle story and first tackled him. Mr. Fetzer said that who ever so reported was a Har, that he, Fetzer, didn't care who carried whisky, wheth er by the bottle or the barrel, and he had said nothing about the matter and knew nothing. For a time matters remained stationary, bnt Holsinirer next, as alleged, became con vinced that William S. Fetzer, a brother of James, was the man he wanted, and meet ing him in a crowd on the road, between Stoop's Ferry and Sharon an evening or two since, Holsinger let out with right and then left and dealt him a powerful blow in the face, which not only brought the claret very freely, but left Fetzer's countenance in a sad state of disfiguration. Fetzer says he will have legal satisfaction, and if he isn't nlacatcd in some way there will be piles of trouble. ,, Thus this little comedy of errors, origin ating in pious concern for the welfare of a man s soul, has produced results at which the Sharon church congregation stand aghast, and no one so farhas come forward with the right kind of anti-friction axle grease.

Manager Johnston Says Such a Building Would Be a Source of Profit Manager Johnston, of the Exposition So ciety, went to Hew York last evening to make further arrangements for the fall ex hibition.? He says the failure of the May Festival to net expenses demonstrates the need of a public hall in this city, where conventions and musical entertainments could be held. He says it is funny that business men do not realize that such a building would be a source of profit Pitts burg Is recognized by outside managers as one of the best a'musement towns in the country, and the people will patronize anything" that posesses some merit. He adds that during any night of the May Festival he could nave picked out several wealthy men who could put up such a hall wtihout feeling it Mr. Johnston thinks the time has passed when a barn is fixed over with rough boards covered with cheese cloth to accommodate a large crowd, and then have the people al most freeze with the cold.

The people of Edgewood are disappointed that their new public school 'is not pro gressing faster. "Wrk was commenced on it several weeks ago, and the foundations were laid. Then the carpenters' strike took place, and all work was stopped. Edgewood is becoming more populous every month, and the children of that place are obliged to walk to either Wilkinsburg, one mile, or to Braddock, two miles.

Green Bottle Blowers Tell Why They Want to leave the K. of L. IRON AND STEEL WAGE COMMITTEES The interest in the carpenters' strike was transferred yesterday toMcKeesport, where a desperate attempt is being made on the part of the contractors to defeat the men. The express from the East last night brought a number of new men to take the places of the strikers, although a batch of eight or ten had been sent away during the day. Jt is reported that CO other carpenters are on the way from Indiana who will arrive this morning and report for work Monday. A. A. "Verner and A. M. White, both promi nent contractors, are home from a Southern trip, where it is supposed they were secur ing men to work under the nine-hour sys tem. Thestrikers are having a hard time keeping the strange men from going to work, but they say they can beat the con tractors out They admit it is an easy mat ter to get men to come here, but as soon as they discover that there is trouble here, and the situation is thoroughly explained to them, they are willing to go back home again. The local exchange seems determined to carry out its threat to flood the city with men until it will be impossible for the strikers to get all of them away. Making Matters Interesting. The situation is growing interesting. Yesterday, for the first time, committees representing the Master Builders' Associa tion and the Carpenters' Council were lo cated at all the stations watching incoming trains, and they watched the movements of each other like hawks. Xcn men and a lot of apprentices were at work at the Joslyn Theater yesterday. The strike committee kept watching the job all day to prevent union men from going to work. Agent Swartz announced yesterdaythat the new co-operative company is in a position to carry out its plan of eeuring supplies and will pro ceed on Monday to do business. He said unions all over the country have been notified to keep their men away from Pittsburg. Another payment of strike benefits will be- paid to-day. One Strike Settled Yesterday. The Government building strike was set tled yesterday. Superintendent Pattison denies that the marble was cut and pulished by convicts in the Joliet Penitentiary, but says the work was done by union men in Chicago. At the Bnilders' Exchange it was denied that the exchange is anxious for a confer ence. Secretary Hamilton says they were always and are yet willing to confer with the men if the latter desire a conference, but none will be held this summer if the contractors have to ask for it Mr. Simon, the Allegheny PlaningMill WMnFiolft Vina haan vnnninr his mill IVn JJ VA A.

THINKS 3 CENTS TOO LOW. Mr. Brill Condemns lam Not Allowing People to Stand In Street Cars. John A. Brill, the street car builder from Philadelphia, is stopping at the Mononga hela House. Mr. Brill thinks the Duquesne Traction cars are too heavy, andlighter cars will either have to be built or the motive power greatly strengthened. He says also that 3-cent fares are a big mistake, and it will result in the end of one road gobbling the other, which will be bad for the public On the subject of street railway legisla tion Mr. Brill said: " "In some continental cities they have municipal ordinances com pelling the street car companies to provide a seat for everybody. Some newspapers are agitating the same idea for American towns. It is all right enough on nice days, but when it is raining, or a man is in a hurry and willing to stand, he is not allowed to get on the car. It results in great inconvenience to the public, and curtails the revenues of the company. If a passenger is willing to stand up to make time or avoid the rain he should be per mitted to do so. I always found these ordi nances a great nuisance when I was in Europe, and in this particular we are ahead of the foreigners." OPPOSED TO EABLY CLOSING. Flint Houses Will Continue to Operate Until July 1. The Western Flint Bottle Association at a recent meeting discussed the matter of closing down the factories June L It was finally decided to allow the manufacturers to close down or continue in operatian a month later, at their option. It was thought that quite a number of factories would close Owing to the condition of trade, but it is now about certain that all the factories will continue in operation until July 1. A manufacturer said yesterday, that be cause all the manufacturers wonld not close June 1, it would not be profitable for any to do so, even if the trade was bad. COAL LOADED IN APBTL. Abont 130,000 Tons Stored on Vessels in Anticipation of a Strike. Mr. Osborne, the coal operator, was at the Union depot last evening. He says that during April in anticipation of a strike May 1 that 130,000 tons of coal were loaded at different lake points. This was very unusual for the month and many of the ves sels laid at the docks for sometime after they p'ere loaded. The stocks are high, considerable coal re maining over from last year. The prices for this season remain about the same as last year with not a very good demand for coaL A Matter of Economy. Captain J. B. Ford, of the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company, accompanied by one or two well-known local manufacturers, left yesterday for the Northwest, where he is interested in an enterprise which is ex pected to he a great economical feature in the manufacture of class in the future. He will be gone severadays. Will Need More Trains.

Gill, K. of L., composed of green hot--! tie blowers, met last night and elected the following delegates to the coming conven tion J. J. Donnery, D. A. Hayes, Tim Hovey, Samuel Griffiths, John Eeosler, Jerry Bunton, William Eeiff, Henry Winters and Al Sohner. Aresolution hasbeen passed instructing these delegates to urge the matter of withdrawing the entire organiza tion from the Knights of Labor and'attach ing it to the American Federation of Labor. The report that L. A. 6111 will withdraw independently is untrue. It is the desire to take the whole organization into the Federa tion with a view to becoming closer identi fied with the flints. A member of Gill said last night that the Federation had always helped them when they were in need and they desired to show their appreciation for the organization by going over in a body. They would then be closer to the flints whose interests are al most identical with their own. The fourteenth annual Convention of the A. F. G. W. U. will be held in July. It will be the largest meeting ever held by the organization, about 230 delegates having been elected to represent the various unions. The reports of the national officers will show a large increase in membership and a good sized bank account President Smith has already begun to prepare his report and Secretary Dillon will commence his next week. Jhe union has adopted a report this year that is at variance with the practice of previous seasons. In view of the demand for electric bulbs the trade has voted to allow the factories making bulbs to con tinue at work during the summe'r stop. This will give the union houses an opportunity of holding the bulb trade which the Corning Glass Company lost during the recent strike. THE COlBnTTEES NAKED.

They have a baseball crank at Beaver who is so heartbroken when the Pittsburg club loses that he hies himself to a barn, and cries his sorrow away.

This fellow never bets on a game, but his interest in the game is pro duced by his pride for the reputation of Western Pennsylvania One would suppose that such an enthusiast would attend every game, but he seldom goes to one. His mania runs to borrowing his neigh bor's paper bright and early every morn ing, and he reads nothing but how it all happened. He talks about the game to his companions for the balance of the day, and he has become such a nuisance to his asso ciates that they are seriously thinking of depositing him in a sack and allowing nim to meet his fate at the bottom of the Beaver river.

SHE EUSS AWAT FK03I 3IECT C05TE5T Under the care of the police matron at the Twenty-eighth ward police station is a little girl who has, if her story be true, re ceived more "stones than pillows from the world. Her name is Tillie Hammer and her home is, or rather was, in Buffalo, N. Y. At present she is homeless, friend less and penniless. She was picked up on the Southside by Officer Wright She had been wandering aimlessly about the streets. She said she had searched in vain for work, every door was closed against her. When she had been comfortably fixed up at the police station she told her story. She was only 15 years of age. Until three weeks ago she had lived in Buffalo. Part of that time has been spent at the home of Mrs. Mary Brown, in East Liberty. The Girl's Story, as She Tells It Her father died at his homeat 32 Bendley alley, Buffalo, two years ago, leaving her mother with four children, including her self. The other three are boys and now live with a relative at Alden, N. Y. Her mother brought her to Pittsburg three weeks ago, presumably to visit relatives, but on the way Mrs. Hammer took sud denly ill. When Uitton station was reached she was in such a condition that she had to be removed in a carriage to Mrs. Brown's home. Two da fs after her arrival she died. What little money the woman had was eaten up, and the girl was left without scarcely a cent Word was, of course, sent to her relatives in Buffalo. They sent her some money, but it was barely enough to cover the funeral expenses. An aunt also sent her a small re mittance, hut after paying all her debts she did not have enough left to-take her back to Buffalo. She lived with Mrs. TJrown for almost three weeks, but as that lady was not able to support her she was taken to the Mercy Convent on Webster street and placed in charge of the sisters Thursday morning. Yesterday she was given a partly finished garment to complete. By ' mistake she Sulled out some of the basting threads, 'ne of the sisters reprimanded her severely for her carelessness. The girl became angry, and said she would rather work as a domestic than stay there. The sister only told her she was old enough to do that Kind ol wont ana ougns 10 oe doing it Watched Her Chance and Ban Away. The sewing was then taken away, and she was sent out in the yard to gather some wood. While there she watched her oppor tunity, ran away and started out to hunt work. While doing this she says she wan dered over to the Southside. Miss Hammer is only an ordinary looking girl, and cannot read or write English, although she has some knowledge of Ger man. Her mother once told her she had a brother living in Pittsburg, and Miss Ham mer thinks if she could only find him she would get at least a temporary home. Although the girl apparently told her story straight a little doubt is thrown on i from the fact that a, girl answering the same description, and almost the same name, was arrested-in Allegheny by Detective Steele for running away from her home in Buffalo. The girl had seemed penitent and promised to return without her mother coming for her. She was started for home, but it is not known whether she reached there. Detect ive Steele will go to the- Southside to-day to see if she ig the same girl. The police will, however, try to find her relatives.
