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

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

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

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.

John TVilgus Meets Death TYMle
Trying to Save Property.
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. The
Coroner was notified and will hold an in
quest to-morrow.

"Eneine Comnanv. was overcome bv the

UNCLE JESSY WOULDN'T TALK.
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.
