zi-JrY : $:wgi jijit 1 . f ?' tcrv does not admit the charges, of injustice and wrong, but was willing to ibrcn too point and allow it to come up before tli. rourt. Dr. J. S. T. Millignn after someinterobnnge with Dr. McAllister finally- expressed hlm selfas satisfied with the arrangement. Dr. W. W. Canon stopped the reading by stating that the sentence must first bojcnrf, and Rev. Laird was deputed to read it after which Itev. J. Foster read the Complaints. That of Iter. J. It. J.Milllgan being readflrst. The appeals and complaints jvcre both pathetic and peppery, but they havo been heretofore published. ' The nest thing in order was the read ing of 4!) pages ot the record of the loner court. Till- took away the breath een of the most of the Cameron ians, bun Moderator AVyhe said it was the regular and only thing to bo done. y Tho ladles Jerked their fans spitefully and frow ned, but Mr. Laird pacified theursom what by explaining that some of tho 41 pages spoen of were not necessary to be read, as they did not bear ontho trial. The Audience "Was large. Yesterday's afternoon session drew Hko caustic balsam. Tho auditorium 'van framed by a row of men standing Ml around the room, in the side aisles. Mqn packed the space under tho gallery, and tho latter was crowded by ladles who could not got seats in tho auditorium. It had been arranged that tho members of tho court should have tho chief places in the syna gogue, in order to avoid confusion, and that thqy might hear distinctly, so lor once rno weaker vessel was given Hobson's choice, though hero and there ono -would not lave it and got close to the pulpit Elder D.ivld Torrence, of Second Xcw York, finallv got weary nnd insisted that Mr. Laird was readimr more than was neces sary and Kev 3 E. Thompson backed thU "view, but after some discussion it was de cided that this lint must be adhered to though it took all summer. Finally a the clerk was reading the minutes of tho Elders' Convention and action against tlic-o young ministers, Kev. D. B. 'Williams, of New York, objected, say ing: "That is not relative. That i not a court of Christ's house and never will be," but tho clerk explained thathe -nu&about through with that phase and went on. As soon as the reading of the. record was 'concluded Dr. McAllister offered aTesolu tlon In arrest of proceedings o as to requii c 'the arrest of the suspended ministers in order for the issue of process Jot their ar rest for contempt of the court to which their solemn obligations were given, and that thev be rcauired to nlcdgo themselves from contempt Dr. McAllister on the Law. Dr. McAllister supported his position in a speech of considerable length in which lie urged that subordination to Church or State law is subversl o of cither, no quoted pages S3 and 13G of the book of discipline, in sup port of his position that tho law of the Church had been violated and that the court could not afford to ha o tho authprity of its inferior Judicatory questioned. Ho also quoted to the same effect from Moore's T)I 'gest, which says that suspended ministers cannot exercise the ministerial function in nnv p'pcc. He also read authorities to show that a suspended minister had np right c en to exhort. Kev. .1. S. T Mllligan i-iled the point that Dr. McAllister had no right, as prosecutor, to offer a resolution, and Klder Torrcns, of "Vim.- Vnrl 1dkrl with liim. In order that the matter might be brought' neiorc tne couri anoiner memoer was substituted. Elder Torrcns denounced the proceeding as going bej ond the cccleciasttsl limits of th" l'ittsburg Presbytery. Jle hold that tho 1'itt-burg Presbytery had nunjed authority-co-extensive with that of Itonie. Hcv. MoClurkin, father of one of thosus nended. beran to express himself somewhat uointedlvwhen he was called to order by llei.D. S:Fcrris, of Illinois, and Dr. J. IV. 1 l "tllL UtTTU .!. .S,tM 1"-' " " -'' IWUVt Ipor be settled at once. 11iilnf ITnltniv THp4..1,a Cnwirtm Mr. McClurkln resumed and said that his , son denfod ever making the statements for which he was tried. It had no connection with tho specific charge -of following dlvi- sh c courses. Elder AVarnock, of Brooklyn, wanted proof that the suspended had been preaching and Rev. Ferris said it was no motion, to which Elder Warnock said, "Tnat is not proof." Mr. Mt-Clurkin said ho wanted to say, when told that he had no right, nor had any-other to defend the accused at present, that if his son was guilty, he was also, for it was by his advice that his son had preached where the doors w ere opened to him. Rev. J. S. Milllgan stated that the Court bad no knowledge of tho offense charged ag.iinst the joung men noknow lodge In the way of evidence. He went on to state that the Pittsburg Presbytery had thrown tho ynung men out on the wine world. An at tempt was made to brings the speaker down by tiic statement that the suspended wero provided for, but ho held on nnd insisted that it could not comport w lth their sense of fitness to draw their salaries without doing their noik, so they sought -noik for the Master elsewhere. He further contended 'that their appeal carried the case out of the Jiands of tho Pittsburg Presbytery and left them free to preach where they pleased. The Church Foundation in Danger. Elder McAfee created a discussion by ask in? if Dr.McAllistcr's position wasn't danger ous liable to knock the foundation out from under the Reformed Presbyterian Church. The question was not answered, but amid pounding by tho Moderator and laughter good humor was for a moment restored." Mr Milligan -nent on to define ministerial functions, and said the action had already drawn upon the Rclormed rresbytcnan Church the scorn of the Christian v of Id, and lie thoueht it lime to stop aw hilo until they could take their bearings He insisted on " some other mode of procedure than that pro posed. Thc-oungmen have endeavored to respect tho Kefnrmcd Presbvtciian Church. Prof. Wilson Is that o? Rev. -I. S. T. Mllligan That's so, and you may smile out loud: but that 'won't chango the'ease. Continuing, he said the K, P. Church had been organized bj men who dared to defy tbose who pervortcd the doctrines of the Church: that it had been founded by sus pended ministers. He appealed that as lather- with latheily hearts, as brothers with brotherly hearts'andas Christians deal n ith the case A Prosecutor Made a Speech. Dr. K. .T. George .got up to speak, when Kev. Milllgan, who had just Uken his seat, arose .igainand made the point that Dr. George as a prosecutor had no right to dis cuss thoauctionany more than had the accused. Finally Rev. Mllligan 'aid ho would yield, as ho didn't want to waste time, but ho must still protest that Dr. George was out of order. Mi. George then resumed. Ho said tho question mut respect law and order and what is owed to Jesus Christ, no matter w hat cflert the decision might have on the jwnplo. The accused had n right to appeal, but he cannot -et Ills decision up against rh.it of the Court, and if this view is not taken discipline cannot bo maintained. Jiy insubonlin.ition to the lower court ho Joc hi standing in the higher one. Mr. Urah.un, ot Boston, wanted to know If a man in u civil rtiurt were fined and ap pcaleiL if ho would be m.tdo pay the fine before the appeal ere beard. Dr. George .c Rev. Graham 'I hen don't use tho illus tration. Dr. George next wont into parallelism in church trials, ono for drunkenness" and another for a crimo still more dcencd in oeicty, and two of the suspended indig ently objected to being tla-ud with tho-o who transgressed tho Seventh Command incnt. Common Seine Must Ite Used. Rev. "Mr. Graham called attention to tho jcaloufyot the civil court to protect the liljorty of the citir.cn, and bold that the Church should bo as liberal as tho civil authorities. Mr. Carlisle, though a j oung man, could not be pounded down, and said common sense must rule in the trial. He said tho ac- cuod would bo freed by the action pro yocd. There was so much confusion that Mr.jCarllsie could not bo heard distinctly at the "reporters' tabic, and he was only squelched by a motion to adjourn, ne de bated cjeh point made by the Moderator. &nd made no more of the Moderator's gavel than did Job's n arhore of the glittering t-pnar and the shield. Mr. Carli-lo said there had been three bad break . One was the going out of tho fight and taking !n that of the New York Pres l.vterv, tho second the presentation of tho i-:umlerous letter, and the third Dr. Mc Allister's action yesterday. Theiuotioit to adlourn was llnnllv f-nttpn before the lioue and carried, aud tlieru was j u. general impression mac tne war would grow hotter irom day to day. The liberal jiortion, though Ina minority, arounquench able, apparently, and if anyone supposes that D:. McAllister is alwjut to throw up tho sponge, he will he vory likely dispossesed of that hen the doctor gets up and shake- himself. The fight mxii to have the effect of a ncr ino 011 him now.

The flVm's business has increased of lato to such an extent and the industrial matters requiring special attention turned up with such frequency that the duties of the officials became burdensome. On last Thursdoy ne gotiations were closed with Mr. Martin to take charge of and look after all labor mat ters arising in connection with the com panies' interests. Duties of the New Position. This will include all the disputes in mills, attending to tho details of the scales in the various establishments ond a general over sight of tho interosts of tho companies. He has resigned his position as manager of the Commercial Real Estate- Exchange, and his connection with that concern, which has lasted for nearly a year, wiU be entirely severed in a day or two. Chairman Abbott, of Carnegie, Phipps ft Co., was seen at his home in tho East End last night. He said Mr. Martin had been se cured for the new position simply because of his exceptional fitness to perform the duties of the office satisfactorily to the firm. "Wo have 10,000 employes," ho said, "and thero is more or less difficulty constantly. We engaged Mr. Martin to look after inter ests thoro because wo did not believe there is a man in Pittsburg or Allegheny who Is as conversant with all tho phases of the labor matters as ho is. We discovered that during our conferences with the asso ciation with which he was formerly con nected wo needed just such a man as hois, and when we learned he was available we lost no time in engaging him to do tho work. The firm will continue to deal with the scalo committees as formerly, and Mr. Martin will be required to look after details. He will have his headquarters at the main office on Fifth avenue. He will be of vnlu blc assistance to the firm, because of his wide acquaintance with the laboring classes and this together with his natural abilities were the reasons which prompted tho proposition being made to High Praise for Mr. Martin. There was no end of Mr' Abbott's praise for Mr. Martin, and it is said by the latter's friends that it was a shrewd move on the part of the firm to take an official almost di rectly from the Amalgamated Association to look after their labor interests, as it Is well known that Mr. Martin has lost none of his sympathies for organized labor. Mr. Martin was seen last nleht bnt he was not disposed to talk much about his new position. "It would not be prudent for me to talk much," said he. "One thing about the new department that has been created by the Carnegie firm is that they take the lead of all other firms in the world, so far as I know, in the matter of a regularly estab lished industrial department, in charge of one superintendent." Mr. Martin admitted for tho first tlrao that a proposition had been made to retunt to the Amalgamated Association, and In a most tempting shape at that, but he could not feel Justified in accepting any offer from the con vention which opens this morning. Tho meeting this year will be the largest ever held. Tho Scale Committee wound np its business yesterday and Will report tho re sult of their work to the convention to-day. President Welhe will be re-elected and there is little indication now that there will be any opposition to more than ono or two of tho present officers. SWITCHING FB0M STREET CABS. Captain Cutter Has Invented a Device for Effecting This Purpose. Captain M. A. Cutter, of the Canton Mallea ble Iron and Manufacturing Company, has invented a device for assisting the operation of street cars, which ho claims will prevent many accidents and dispenso with switch men. The device is fixed to the front plat form, and is for the purpose, of opening and closing switches without stopping tho car. Tills is accomplished by means of a lever within easy reach of tho motorman. Re garding this Captain Cutter said yesterday: "The dovlco leaves the conductor at lib erty to look after tho passengers, the motor man need not stop his car, nor need a switchman bo employed. I believe it will greatly assist tho handling of the cars and will certainly provent accidents from. cars Jumping the track. Everything that tends to make rapid transit safer is a good thing for the public." BOTH SIDES STILL ITEM, Bosses nnd Journeymen Are Yet Unwilling to Hold a Conference. Tho second month of tho building trades strike began yesterday. Both sides are still firm and unwilling to concede anything. The master builders mot -yesterday and re affirmed the position they have maintained all along. People continue to arrive from other places, but the strikors manage to get the majority- of them out of the city again. Work was stopped on the Joslyn theater yesterday morning, but was resumed again in the afternoon. Will Talk the Matter Over. The regular meeting of tho Executive Board of D. A. 3, IC of L., will be held to night. There Is considerable business to bo transacted, among other things the consid eration of a proposition for tho first time to take some action relative to tho Fifth Ave nue Traction road. .Master Workman Dcmp sey said yesterday there had been so much talk about the matter that he wanted to know if the board desired to do anything or not. A New Railroad Branch. Completed. The new Winfield branch of tho Butler branch of tho West Penn railroad has been completed and cars are now being run as far as Boggsvillc, a distance of six miles above Frceport. Tho road has not been formally opened yet, but as soon as the arrangements are completed for taking out limestone at the old Winflcld furnace trains will be run regularly. . Pennsylvania Company's Meeting. The annual meeting of tho Pennsylvania Company will be held to-day at the com pany's offlces. Aboard of directors will be elected and tho annual report read. Secre tary Liggett refused to give any figures in advance. Nothing unusual is expected to occur. Hampered by a Strike. A local man remarked last night that the strike of the dockmen at Ashtabula and Cleveland was embarrassing the business. Last week the Cleveland port was blocked and shipments had to be stopped. Other wise the coal trade is good. Business for the South. Carroll, Porter & Co., of this city, have Just completed a lot of oil stills for South Amer ica. The business of many local firms in the city for the Southern countries lias increased to a very satisfactory extent w ithinthe past year. Industrial Items, Tub rumor that S4 of the 67 flint houses had closed down yesterday was denied by Secretary Dillon. Pbepabaxioxs are being pushed rapidly for themeetlngof the flint glass workers In Steubenvllie next month. Theue is a grinding machlno In courso of erection at tho Creighton Glass Works thatr will hold 670 feet of glass at one laying.

Wood and"Mia- netto & Co. Boats Ordered Back; and Some Land Below the Dam. About 206,000 bushels of coal were sunk at Logstown last evening owing to tho low wa.ter. The loss will fall heaviest on 'John A. Wood, who had five coal boats iowed by the Jim Wood grounded. The Ark with a full tow of eight barges for Mannette ft Co., of Cincinnati, met the same fate. Both boats were stranded; at this' point, and the tows immediately filled with water. Coal at Cincinnati is worth 10 cents per bushel, and if the loss were a total one about $20,600 would bo dropped. It is expected that somo of the coal can be recovered, but the reaj loss will be considerable. Tho wijter in the dam was over 8 feet, and Captain Wood tried to get the authorities in charge to lower the wickets, but they refused. The fall to Logstown from tho dam is 22 inohes, and it is claimed that if the wickets had been lowered it would have made a stage of seven feet and the grounding of the boats would never have happened. The rivormenweroveryangry about it and at least 25 of them at the Monnngahcla House last evening expressed the above opinion. In addition tho Josh Cook, B. D.Wood, the Blackburn, for Blackburn ft Co., and tho Cruiser, for W. II. Brown Sons, with full tows, passed through the lock. As soon as tholr owners heard of the accident to the other two boats thev were ordered to land, and ore now 'anchored in the poolabovo Logstown, where they are liable to stay for awhile, ns tho river is falling. The Jim Brown, Voyager, S. L. Wood, Dave Wood, DeBus, J. A. Blackburn, Crescent, Daunt less, Charlie Clark nnd Time were turned back; and are now lying in the dam. These boats were waiting their turn, to go out, and werecanght in time to save further loss. About 10,000,000 bushels of coal, it is estima ted, were in the harbor ready to be taken down the river when the rise came. The river men are much disannointed. and from Tiresent indications all their irrenarations Jhave been in vain. The situation provokes consiaeraDie ui-ieeiing. xne dim uumore, Sam and Charley Brownf with tows, are tied up at Jack's Bun. IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE. Annual Meeting or the Trustees of the Uni versity of Western Pennsylvania. The annual meeting of the Board of Trus tees of the Western University of Pennsyl vania was hold in the Y. M. C, A. parlors yesterday afternoon. Chancellor Holland submitted a report in which he called at tention to the desirability of taking certain steps in the direction of better equipping the buildings and providing for fuller instruct ion In tho several departments. Rev. Dr. White was elected President of the Board of Trustees and the following persons were elected to sorve on the Board for the next three years: James R. Speer,M. D.,Alexander rumicK, m. u. iiussey, ju. v., james Hanna, Thomas H. Boylt, D. D., W. T. Bob inson, u. v., wuiiam To aw, jr., Thomas 11. Canahan, Hon. J. H. Reed. An animated discussion took place, in the course of -which dV strong disposition w as evinced to push the technical and industrial features of the institution as well as to strengthen the classical department. Prof. Keeler, the new director of the observatory, is expected to arrive about the middle of June. At themeetlngof theBoardof Regents of the University of California, held on May 18, the following resolution was adopted: "Resolved, That in accepting the resigna tion of Mr. Keeler, the Regents desire to ex press their high appreciation of his as tronomical .work at the Lick Observatory and wish him every suceess in his new posi tion." PREVENTED THE TRIAL. rrf... !... nH..u ni.,. n . .. .w Aiiuuuvu-uuiuiuu viiiuau ujijium Test of Westlnghotue Motors. The Thomson-Houston people whose motors are used on the Duquesne road, are evidently determined that no other motor shall have a chance as long as their 30-day agreement with the company lasts. In view of tho inability of the Duquesne cars to make time with the Fifth avenue vehicles, an ar rangement was made with the Second ave nue people to run one of their cars over the Duquesne tracks for the purpose of demon strating that tho distance could be ac complished In tho time. With this view-nn attempt was made last night at 8 o'clock to transf era Secondavenue car to tho Duquesne tracks at the corner of Wood and Fourth avenue, but the Thomson Houston people appeared in force and pre vented the trial. The only reason assigned for this is that tho Second avenue cars are armed with Westlnghonse motors, and the Thomson-Houston people wore afraid of being outclassed, though Senator Flinn and the managers had given tho Westlnghonse officials permission to mako the trial. This motor is regarded to be superior to any in use. FIGHTING THE WHARF BILL. A Delegation of River Men Will Protest to Governor Pattlson. A delegation consisting of Captains Thomas Bees, James A. Henderson and John Dravo, of Beaver, and Colonel W. A. Stone nnd J. Scott Ferguson went to Harrisburg last evening to fight the wharf bill before tho Governor. Captain Rees said if the rise had not come at this time at least 25 members of tho Coal Exchange would have gone. He added that ho had no doubt that the Gover nor would have vetoed the original bill, but ho was not sure what he would do with the amended measure. Captain Henderson claimed tho river men hadn't enough, wharf room now, and there Is a continual scramble among them for space. Ho said $15,000,000 was invested in the river business, and tho interests were too great to bo interfered with without a struggle. Money Made Quickly By the man who buys one of our ?10 suits to-day.

Offi DEAR'S GROWH.; The flew Directory Shows a Wender fnl Gain in Population. LABGEST IK THE CITIES' HISTOET. Twenty-Seven Thousand Teople Mora Than There Were last Tear, THE BOOKS WILD BE DELITEEEDTO-DAT Dlffenbacher's Pittsburg and Allegheny directory is about ready for distribution, .....t il.il. m . .alf "Ka- iiu ucuvvry oi as many as arc rcuujf w , wo commenced to-day. The new volume has 116 pages more thanlast year's, and is gotten up in the, same substantial manner. Accord ing to Mr. Dlffenbacher's calculation the population in the two cities increased 26,773 during the year, which, as he says, is the largest increase in any year since this city first had a directory. ThU increase Mr. Diffcnbacher attributes to the inflnx"of foreigners during the period, for he finds a much larger percentage of for eign names than usual. An interesting fea ture in connection with Mr. Dlffenbacher's guess at the total population of the cities is that it comes very near the census figures. The enumerators returned the number of in habitants in this cit v at 343,473, and the com pilers' estimate is '383,974, but this includes Millvalc, Sharpsburg nnd Etna, which are not counted in the census figures abovo stated. Mr. Diffenbacher bases his figures on an estimate of 3Vi persons to every name in the directory, and this, he says, is a lower figure than-ls adopted by any other compiler Showing that the twin cities have felthex a greater proportion of unmarried people, or the average number in a family is small. Xarge Increase In the Foreign Names. "The work of gathering in the names was begun on the 3rd of April andconclnded on the 21st of April, after which, the compila tion was commenced. The book shows a large increase in foreign names, and among them arc somo lengthy ones. Such an under taking as the pronunciation of Wajocie chowski" must be approached cautiously, and an effort to get at the native twang of "Sllvenhalicki" and "Schweckendieck" is worthy of recognition. If these are long the other extreme is found in the name of Josno. Uy, whose cognomen Is the shortest in the directory. Of course there are a few Smiths in the volume only a few Just 1,089, which is 63 more than it contained last year, showing that the family is still holding Its own. The "Johns" of that name are pretty numerous also; there are 63 of them. Mr. Diffenbacher says he has had more trouble with his canvassers this year than formerly. The grin knocked some of them out; a good many fell sick, and one or two joined the majority. He had the usual trou ble with the men who "know it all." Mr. Diffenbacher had anotlon whenheemployed his canvassers that he would be permitted to tdo the thinking for the establishment, while mo otners oiatne nustung, uniue iuuuu some young gentlemen w ho were so zealous as tq desire to do both. For example, a man nsslenert tn tlm HUtrict including the arsenal -and its garrison omitted to look in on Uncle isuns Doys. nen psxetLwny, ne saiu; Afraid of Being Too Particular. "Well, I didn't think there was any neces sity for being so particular." Some of the men had rough experiences. Several wero badly used up by dogs, and -others were warned off tho premises as tres passers. Many of them found the customary difficulty in inducing peoplo to give them tthelr names, and frequently canvassers were -given false names. "It is curious," said Mr. Diffenbacher yes rterday, "what objections somo people have to seeing their name In a directory.
