HIEING HOMEWARDS Troy llill Resumes Its Normally Qniet Aspect on the Departure of 3lany rilgrims, but HMDBEDS ARE YET REMAINING To See Father Srollinger Before He Leaves fur a Trip to Some Quiet Health Eesort. SOHE rXSTASTES OF CURES EFFECTED.. A Fatient Effused at ITotels Spends the Bay at the Vnion Depot. Troy Hill, especially in the neighborhood -ofFatherMollinger'schurch, began once more yesterday to reassume it wonted aspect of undisturbed and suburban tranquility and sleepiness, so rudely broken in upon during the past week by the numbers of infirm peo ple of every degree who had arrived to par ticipate in the ceremonies of St. Anthony's Day. An air of general relief pervaded the place, and a big sigh of the same intan gible quality and also of satisfaction was given vent to by boarding-house keepers as they rested in tlieir gardens during the aft ernoon and made mental calculations of the profits derived from the pilgrims. The ordinary residents once more were allowed some share of the sidewalks and a bed to themselves, and reflected with pride that the settlement on the hill was begin ning to be recognized as worthy a place on the map. Probably oOO travelers hither in search of health set out homeward on Sat urday night and yesterday, but a good many still remain to see the now famous remover of bodily ills. None but the regular Sunday services were celebrated yesterday. The first mass was, as usual, said at 7:30 o'clock by Father Mollinger, the Best at 8:30 o'clock, by Father Schmidt, and the same clergyman said high mass at 10 o'clock. rather iMoIltnger's Usual Itlessing. The attendance at the late mass was very large, and the space in front of the church, on Cark street, was packed with people when a priest from Sharpsburg appeared at the door and delivered a sermon on "Com mnnication "With Saints." Father Mol linger stood beside him as he spoke. At the conclusion of the mass the venerable priest-physician gave the blessing, as usual. Making allowance for the ordinary con gregation, some 500 persons would be an estimate of the number of people suffering from some disability or other who still remain on the mount to see Father Mollinger. The vespers at 3 o'clock in the atternoon were sung by Father Schmidt, and about 1,800 persons at tended them, (W0 of whom found accommo dation in the church and the rest followed the singing of the canticles through the open door. Benediction following closed the exercises for the day. As soon as the congregation had passed out, a number of people, mostly women, filed into the church and tooK turns Kissing tne carved image ot an angel's head, which embellished the wooden pedestal of the pulpit. Hands were passed over the woodwork and then applied to the various parts of the head and face. The CoUection Plate Not Forgotten. Passing before the shrine of St. Anthony, in going out again, many deposited coins on a glass plate in the midst of the bank of flowers which decorated the altar. Quite a number of Pittsburgers visited the church and vicinity during the day, impelled through curiosity born of the renown which the celebrated priest has attained as a dispenser of health. Among them were several newspaper men not con nected with the hustling end of newspaper work and a number of lawyers. One of the latter asked The Dispatch reporter what especial benefit was derived by kissing the head of the wooden angel, but no answer of a satisfactory nature could be returned. "It reminds me," he said, "of the father of economic mind who locked up the cheese in the cupboard instead of placing it on the table. His boys used to rub tlieir bread against the cupboard door in expectation, kindled of a lively imagination, that some of the tastiness of the cheese would exude and attach itself to the bread. The father encouraged them in doing this, as the dry bread would taste as pleasantly if they thought they had cheese vvith it as if they really had, and it was economical." One of the attendants who was asked for an explanation of this reverence for the frame work of the pulpit could not afford any. Nearly 90 people left the Miller, Hasscn nieier and Buch boarding houses on Satur day, and the proprietors were well pleased. They were all worn out after the unusual worry of the last week. Proprietor Miller said his wife had been so much worried that they would not undertake the same con tract again next year. He said he would sell his house and go away altogether. The Hotel Hoch did a land ofhee business during the week. About 150 mealers were accom modated each day, and the amount of beer dispensed across the bar would have sufficed for three downtown saloons. Big ItnUncss for a Xew Road. The Troy Hill electric cars were well pa tronized yesterday There were 14 running, more than during Saturday, when they were so badly needed, illustrating the fact that the management was made wise after the event. The number of passengers during the week ending Saturday was about 27,000. Among the travelers yesterday were two ladies from Iowa. The- were attracted to the hill through curiosity. As the car ran through Dutchtown one of them asked a gentleman where Troy Hill was. "Just above us," was answered. "Goodness me!" exclaimed the lady, "do you call that a hill? "Ve would call it a mountain out in Iowa." "Oh, you are only at the foot of the mountains now," explained the resident There was a good deal of talk about a cure reported to have been effected in the case of a lad named Martin Levin, of Bar ker village, Niagara county, X. Y. It was said he had come there totally unable to walk and had quite recovered the use oi his limbs yesterday. The Dispatch reporter called to investigate and found that the boy had, according- to his statement, been benefited. The Story Told by a Crippled Boy. "I was crippled when only a year old, " he said, "and the doctors whom mother brought in did me no good. I had to be carried to the train at Buffalo, but when I came here on Friday night I could walk with the assistance" of my mother. I must say that I can walk much easier than I could," and he demonstrated the fact by walking from one room to the other with" the assistance of a stick" James Goodwin, a mfddle-agcd man from Cameron county, was sitting in a garden in a wheeled chair. He had been crippled for eight years, but was much better. He said he expected to walk yet. Jerry Kyan, a young railroader of Nash ville, with his brothers, John Kyan and J. "W. Quinn, vv ere at the Union depot last night on their way home. Young Kyan lay in a cot in the 1:Jies' waiting room from 11 o'clock in the morning until train time, at D:45 o'clock. His half-brother, Quinn, tried to get him the accommodation of a room in the St. James, Albion, McGnirc's and Wcithaus', but unsuccessfully. He complained to a Dispatch reporter of the lack of hospitality ehown by the proprietors of these places in refusing to give a few hours' accommodation to a man who, though unable to leave his cot. was not what could be called a "sick" man. Inquiry- into this charge was promptly made. At the St. James,' ' Frank Lanalian, a son of the proprietor, said it was to him Quinn had applied for a room. He said he wanted a room on the first floor, and when told there were no available rooms on the first floor he said he could not carry his brother to the second and went away. Mr. Lanalian said there was no objection in the world to taking in the man if he could have been suited with a room. Has Xo Vse for Sick People. At the Albion the clerk on duty in the forenoon was not there; McGuire does not let rooms and "Weithaus said he had had trouble before with sick people and didn't want any of them. Jerry Ryan came to Pittsburg yesterday week suffering from paralysis of the spine of nine weeks' standing. When asked last night at the depot whether he could really say he had been benefited by the visit to Father Mollinger, he replied that he felt stronger and much better. Peter McCauley, of Punxsutawney, was among the pilgrims on the hill yesterday. He was severely injured in the side during the spring by some timbers falling upon him, and since then had suffered from an acute pain near the heart. He assured The DisrATCH reporfcr last night that the pain had completely left him and he now felt as well as ever. Father Mollinger spent a quiet day yes terday. His house was besieged from time to time by people who imagined they could obtain an audience by plausible tales, but he denied himself to everyone. As pre viously stated in The Dispatch, he will see every person now desirous of visiting lum, and then go to some watering place for rest and recovery from his long spell of work. HAS A LEG TAKEN OFF. Xine-Tear-OId Salvatore Weisaltun Over by a Birmingham Car. Salvatore "Weisa, 9 years old, of 42 Grant street, was run over last evening by car No. 34, Pittsburg and Birmingham line, and so badly hurt that he will probably die. It appears that the boy jumped on the front end of the car just as it was passing onto the Smithfield street bridge. He was cau tioned by the driver and some passengers to stand in off the step or he would strike against the bridge and get hurt. The lad seemed to obey the injunctions, but he sud denly leaned out on the step, and before anybody could catch him, fell off. The boy's legs went under the car, the wheels passing over them, almost amputating one and badly crushing the other. The injured lad was picked up and car ried to the Homeopathic Hospital, where one leg was amputated and the other dressed. His injuries are such that the physicians think he cannot live. John Hughes, the driver of the car? was held in bail to await the result. On inquiring at the hospital last night the lad was sleeping quietly and was reported as doing very welL SHOUTING FOE M'KINLEY. "Washington Officials Go to Columbus to Attend the Convention. T. B.

Mr. Coulter said McKinley would be unanimously nominated and "elected by a bigger majority than any Governor ever received in Ohio. In his mind there was no doubt that Harrison would be takn up by the Republicans and he would be successful a second time. He is increasing In popu larity every day and the people realize that he is a safe, conservative man who can be trusted. DEIVEN TO DEATH. Louis Lochncr mid Thomas Carey Arrested for Cruelty to Animals. Louis Lochner and Thomas Carey, two well-known young men of the Soutnside, were arrested last evening by Special Officer Richards, on the information made by Sam uel Miller, of the livery firm of Miller Bros. & Co., who charges them withcruelty to a horse. Last "Wednesday the prisoners hired a horse from the complainant and abused it to such an extent that one of its hoofs was torn off, and it subsequently died. It was taken from them by a member of the firm of Scmmelrock Bros., but too late to save the horse. It was valued at 5190. The two men will be given a hearing to-day. WOUNDED A NEWSBOY. John Kyan Arrested for Being Too FamiUar With a Knife, John Ryan is the name given by a priso ner at the Central station yesterday who was arrested by Officer Grimes for cutting a newsboy named Destamonia, because the latter asked him to buy a paper. The prisoner was sitting on a step whit tling a stick when the boy approached him. Ryan made a lunge at him with the knife atid cut him across the leg, inflicting a wound ahout three inches long and clear in to the bone. The boy was sent to the Homeopathic Hospital.

PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, COMMG T0A CRISIS: The Roimliers' and Catchers' Fight Will Be Taken Up To-Day. A GLANCE AT THE NEW IRON SCALE Skilled Workmen Wanted in' Chicago From Wurtemberg. MISCELLAXEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS. The annual convention of the Amalga mated Association will enter the third week of its session this morning, and the indica tions are that greater progress will be made during the present week than any time since the opening of the convention. It was given out by a number of delegates last night that the scale which has occupied the attention of the convention for the past ten days will be completed and adopted finally about "Wednesday. As has been conte i plated all along, there will be few changes in the present scale, which expires June 30. A Dispatch re porter was shown the new scale last night, or as much of it as had been adopted. The convention has reached the sheet mill scale, part of which has been acted on. The prices agreed upon are based on a 2-cent card with a 2 per cent additional for each one-tenth advance of said card, and 2 per cent decline for each deduction of one-tenth from the card. Satisfied With the Present Price. As previously stated, the price for boil ing will not be molested this year, and one delegate said last night: "If we get what we are getting now we will be doing well." The list of extras on the boiling scale seems, to be growing with the years. The trouble over hard iron last year "has occasioned the addition of several new clauses this year, and if all are agreed to by the manufactur ers the latter will have to pay for hard iron hereafter. The muck mill scale remains practically the same as last year. The price for scrap ping and bushelmg will be 82, with CO cents extra for bnsheling on sand bottom, and 75 cents extra for working light sheet, hoop, wire and Norway scrap on sand bottom. There was an effort made to adopt a clause providing that the manufacturer should pay half the wages of the help as he does the bloom boy on a muck mill, but will find his own help and pile his own scrap as hereto fore. The new scale will call for ?4 75 for knobbling, with an addition of $2 a ton for raw pig iron above the price paid for re fined iron and pig metal. In the heating slabs and shingling scale, 75 cents on a 2-cent card is retained as the base. The present bar and nail plate mill scale is somewhat mutilated. "While 70 cents is retained as the price for rolling and heating, the list of extras is enlarged considerably and the regulations on the work are drawn closer. Anticipation of a remarkably active market the coming year is responsible for this. "Within the past week it is said one of the local mills captured a car iron order for lj500 tons, and smaller orders have been floating around for other classes of con sumers, and if there is weakness in the mar ket now it is by no means general. Expectations for the Guide Mill. In the guide mill ?1 43 a ton will be asked for rolling, divided as follows: 72W for beating, 36) for roughing and 36 for catching. All hands are to be paid by the company, but by reason of the fact that the roller is held responsible for all work done he is to have the authority of hiring and controlling 'the Toughers and catchers. On cotton tie mills a day's work will be limited to 410 bundles and on Saturdays to 325. "Where a mill averages $3,200 a day a third rougher shall be employed during .Tun, July and August. The scales for plate, tank and pipe iron mills are unchanged ex cept in minor details. The sheet mill scale will he finished, and the fight on the Toughers' and catchers' scale will come up to-day. The time for taking a final vote on the whole scale de pends upon the staying qualities of the roughers and catchers. If they should de velop sufficient strength to carry their point which, by the way, is not probable the end may not be reached unlil Thursday. The conservative delegates say the scale will be finished "Wednesday and the conven tion will get down to business of some inter est to the public. Trouble Over the Nailers' Scale. Immediately after the completion of the iron scale will come the consideration of the nailers' scale. The state of trade has much to do with the formation ol this scale, as in the case of the iron scale. According to reports the quantity of nails made in the entire country in 1890 vv as only 5,640,946 kegs. The output of cut nails has been declining n;nnn iq mii.n o iRn Q7n irAi ... mnri and cut rates had reached their maximum. The drop in 1890 was a decline of over 30 per cent, and, as a consequence, scales on this class of work are not advanced. It is different with wire nails, which have been coming steadily into prominence and are a formidable competitor. WILL ILLUMINATE THE E0AD. The Pennsylvania Company to Put Electric Lights All Along the Line. A report has been received in this city to the effect that the Pennsylvania Eailway Company is preparing to establish electric light plants by which the whole line of the road will be illuminated. Stations and towns will be lighied firs, before work on the line is commenced. The new move will be hailed with delight, not only by patrons of the road but by the people who live in the neighborhood of the and line whose property will be furnished with light. GOING TO EQUALIZE WAGES. How tho Scale Committee "Will Be In structed in Chicago. The window glass manufacturers will meet in Chicago Thursday, and the Wage Com mittee will be instructed to make an effort to equalize the Eastern and "Western scales.' The conference this year will be of inter est, and it is thought that both manufact urers and workers favor a conciliatory pol icy. The fires go out June 30, and the small stock of glass on hand promises a profitable season after the furnaces are lighted in the fall. THE TATLOES OHGAKIZTNG. Heady-Made Clothes Journeymen Form a Union for Protection. Thirty-three tailors, employed directly and indirectly by Lehman Bros. & King baker, of Liberty street, and M. Oppen heimer & Co., 811 Penn avenue, met at 15 Our alley, Logan street, last evening, and formed a union to affiliate with the Pro gressive Union of Tailors. The purpose is to obtain protection against, as it is claimed, the undue im portation of ready-made clothing to the det riment of home-made goods. A movement to organize the pantsmakers will follow. Not All Bad People. About 175 immigrants arrived in the city yesterday. Of the number 21 remained in Pittsburg, and the balance went "West. Mr. Petgen said they were Scandinavians and English-speaking people, the kind he liKes to see come to America. At least 40 Italians came here on the Baltimore and Ohio road. A Moonlight Excursion. Members of the Theatrical Attaches' Union No. 5371, A. F. of L., will give a moonlight excursion on the steamer May flower to-night. The boat leaves the foot of "Wol street at 8 o'clock. MONDAY,, JTJNE 15,. CHANCES IN THE WEST. "What Mr. TVeeks.tearned Collecting Statis tics for Uncle Sam Greatest Iron Field in the "World in Colorado Fnel and a Market the Problems. Joseph D. "Weeks left for "Washington yesterday. For the last six weeks he has been in the "Western States collecting statis tics on iron, coal and petroleum for the United States census. Mr. "Weeks was in Kansas, Colorado, California, "Washington and Montana, when he was called home by the death of his business manager in Pitts burg. He stated in a general way that there is considerable movement in "West,but business comparatively speaking is not booming. The people are commencing to learn that they can't depend for a livelihood on gold and silver mining alone. The output is un certain, and while some get wealthy others grow poorer. They are not giving up min ing, but are turning 'their attention to other industries. In the "West fuel and a home market are the problems. Near Gunnison, in Colorado, Mr- "Weeks says he discovered a vein of iron ore 90 feet across. It will yield from 64 to 67 per " cent of pure ore, and he thinks this deserted village is destined to become the iron center of the "West. Pitts burg capitalists are interested in the ore, but for lack of a market they are not work ing it up into iron. He also saw coke in the "Western States that will rank with the Connellsville product. Coal is plentiful, but it is not mined extensively. The people are beginning to wake up ta the possibilities around them. Southern California will never be a great manufacturing section on account of the scarcity of fuel. In Los Angeles the cable roads are run with petroleum discovered in the neighborhood. The production is about 300,000 to 400,000 barrels per year in the State. Mr. Weeks thinks that Seattle is the coming industrial town in the North west, though he was greatly impressed with Portland and Tacoma. WOEKMEN FE0M WUETEMBEBG. The Columbian Fair Commission Said to Be After Stuttgart Artisans. Under the head of "A Result of Our In dustrial Training School," the TagUatt of Stuttgart, Wurtemberg, of arecentdatesays: "It is surely a matter of congratulation for our royal building director, Mr. Von Egle, whose efforts have made the Stuttgart In dustrial Training School the success it is, that a few days ago a member of one of the Chicago World's Fair committees was sent here to engage a number of young men to aid in the erection of the Columbian Exhi bition building. The commission was only for Wurtemberg artisans, and, as we hear, the gentleman spoken of was commissioned to pay the men wanted (about 1 of them) 500 marks ($125) each a month, pay their passage over and back, and guarantee them two years' employment. Hugh McCoy, a prominent citizen of Chicago, now located in Pittsburg, was seen last night. He said he thought the men must be wanted for some peculiar kind of work that resident workmen could not do, as Chicago is now over-flooded with work men of all kinds. Attorney A. D. Wilkin was also seen and asked whether this ar rangement if entered into would not con flict with the contract labor law. Without knowing all the circumstances, Mr. Wilkin said it would be difficult to determine, but the general inference would be that if workmen were brought here under contract to do any kind of work it would be a violation of the law. There is room for a technical point by reason of the fact that the contract, if entered into at all, was made between the representative of the World's Fair Commission and the representative of the government haying control of the school, the latter not being an agent whose business is to contract for and sell labor.

BIG WINDOW GLASS PLANT BURNED Wolfe, Howard & Company Lose Thirty Thousand D illara. 0TIIER BUILDINGS BAEELT ESCAPE Wolfe, Howard & Co.'s big window glass factory at South Twenty-second and Mary streets was totally destroyed by fire at noon yesterday. Aside from consuming a large amount of property the fire resulted in the death of John Wilgus, who fell and broke his neck while assisting in the battle with the flames. Fire was discovered by the watchman in the "upper factory" shortly before 12 o'clock, and an alarm was turned in at once. It was a large frame structure, supplied with a ten-pot furnace and measuring about 100 feet on each side. The dry boards caught quickly and the firemen soon found their efforts -were best directed at saving some of the adjoining property. For a time it looked as though the block would go, but this was prevented. The fire burned three hours. Supposed to Be Started by Sparks. Nothing definite is known about the ori- gin of the fire, but it is supposed to have been started by sparks from a passing loco motive. The factory was totally destroyed, at a loss of about 530,000. According to the members of the firm this was about half covered by insurance. The sad feature of the affair was the death of John Wilgus. He was one of the first to appear on the scene and immediately began doing what he could to check the progress of the flames and save nearby property. A large crowd of men was near at hand, and Mr. Wilgus organized some of them into a bucket brigade. Thev formed a line over some roots and were passing buckets of water up wnen wilgus, ivno was sianaing on a small shed, lost his balance. He fell over the edge and struck on his head and shoulders. The fall was not far, but the shock broke his neck and death came instantly. A Family Left to Mourn. The body was carried to the home of the deceased, No. 1827 Jane street. Wilgus oc cupied the position of master teaser at Campbell & Co.'s works, and was widely known on the Southside. He was 42 years of age and leaves a wife and. family.

He Had Bet 8100 That He Would Keep His Mouth Shut in This City. Uncle Jerry Rusk, Secretary of Agricul ture, was on the limited last evening going to Chicago. When he sighted a reporter he curled up his big frame in the car 'seat, pulled down his soft hat over his eyes, and commenced to snore like some of the barn yard animals about which he occasionally writes a pamphlet for the education of Grangers. "How do yon do, Mr. Rusk?" "Oh, shaw," he answered from behind his long white chin whiskers. "My name is not Rusk." "Come off, Governor, that gag won't go in Pittsburg." "Well, now, I won't be interviewed this evening. It is Sunday and the Bible teaches us to keep the Sabbath day holy." "But you have never been known to miss an opportunity in the past." "That may be true, but to be confidential I made a wager of $100 with a Congressman at AVashington before I started that I would not be interviewed in Pittsburg. You don't want me to lose that bet, and when I get the money, if you will come around, I will set them up," and then the old man laughed heartily at his joke. tJncle Jerry, however, kept his word, and he wouldn't talk about anything political, though he was willing to start a religious discussion to help to kill time.
