I - : - ','' it t THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, TUESDAY, JUNE '16, 1891 L Intense Heat Causes a Great Many People to Keep Their Eyes Open for Rabid Canines. XEIGHBORS GET IN THEIR WORK As in Former Tears, and Many Good Ani mals Depart This Earth by the Toisoned Meat Koute. SEVERAL HIGH TEMPERATURE VICTIMS. The Mercury Reaches Mnetv-Two in the Shads and Everybody Eaflen "With the advent of sweltering heat such as that of yesterday come visions of mad dogs, mosquitos, and other pests of the sul try season. Although "dog days" have not come, the average pedestrian walking along the streets keeps an eye open for the disagreeable cur with the lager beer imitation on his lips and a beastly hankering to fulfil the old proverb that misery loves company. A few more days life yesterday and the rabies will not wait until July is half over, as is customary. On the sunn- sides of the streets the-air felt as if blown from the interior of a puddling furnace. Mercury crept toward the clouds with the persistent force of a hydraulic jack and hung about the nineties all through the middle of the day. The heat had the effectof causing numerous owners of dogs to think about the safety of their pets. Those with out the little nickel tags run chances of being dealt with on suspicion, or, at least, their masters think so. Accordingly, the issuers of dog licenses noticed quite an in crease in business. Number of Dog Licenses Issued. XTp to to-day 2,200 licenses have been is--sued, which is thought to include the great majority of dogs in the city. "Whether the realization of having been rafsed to the dig nity of being personal property will prevent many curs from acquiring a dislike for water is vet an unsettled question, but there are Lopes that the effect will yet be salutary. Chief Brown has decided that as "d5g days" do not begin until July 15 the dog catching operations will not be inaugurated until then. Up to that time all manner of canines are safe as far as the Department of Public Safety is concerned. Business at the pound is not expected to be very brisk this year. The widespread slaughter with buttons last season thinned out the ranks of unowned animals, and those remainiug are as a rule valuable enough to have masters and licenses. There will be no poison this year. The pound is presumed to answer all exterminating purposes and disgusting car case lying about the street will be rarities. A gentleman reported to Mayor Gourley yesterday tliat three dogs had been shot in Cherry alley, near Virgin, by what he sup posed to be an officer in citizen's clothes. Being the owner of a valuable animal he was anxious to know whether the police had declared war on dogs. Superintendent of Police Gamble "Weir was asked about it, and said: Nobody Ordered to Shoot Dogs. "Xo order lias been issued to the police, for killing dogs. Shooting them is not' ullov. ed miles- at the request of the owner, which was doubtless the case with those lcilled this niorninfr. Wehae adopted the doj; ponud system of getting rid of worthies- animals and no other plan will be used.' While the police are not poisoning dogs mum neighbors are kiudlv ridding each other of their pets, just as they have done lor years, superintendent Weir said yester day lie had received numerous reports of ie- w here poNoncd meat had been put to effective ue by somebody, and whole sec tions hae been cleared of their dogs. The police can do little to stop this work, which iirouu-es to be kept up year after year, as Ions as peoplr hove dogs and neighbors. Chief Brown "'as not yet appointed his poundmaster, and will not likely do so for some time, tlnee no d02S will bo caught be lore July 15. there is nothing for a pound niastei to do until then. The pound on Ituchs" hill i now complete. It will ucconv modute about 100 animals. The hot w eather has had. a scriou9 effect on the health of the city. Debllltv produced by the heat ha rendered people less able to withstand di-ease and the result Is already quite noticeable. The records of the Bureau of Health show an increase in the death rate if tho past two weeks. Notwithstanding the citys mortalitj usually doubles itself during the month of June, the number of deaths w ill be much larger thau that of any previous year. Causes of the Great Increase. So far this month there has been 323 burial permits issued by the bureau. During the entire month of June last year there were reported 503 deaths. The number of deaths now almost equals the total number of deaths duringMay, which was 473. Including stillbirths. The mortality resulting irom cerebrospinal inenigitls seems to be on the Increase. A week or two ago the disease showed signs of abating. This dis-ea-e has caused 19 deaths o fur this month: of the remainder, 18 resulted from pneu monia, 15 fi-om convulsions S from cholera inluntum, 3 from inenigitis 4 Irom phthisis pulmonalis, t Iroui bronchitis, S from sui cides and 11 inanition. Burial permits were msu issuuu ior ;, suiiuimisanu 2 suicides. Miould the warm weather of thepa-tfew daj continue h few days longer the Bureau of Health officers say they will look for a large increa-c in the number of deaths irom eliuleia mtantuni. On Jit. Washington the whooping cough has made its appqarance. It is most severe among the children. Ilobert Wilman, aged SI years, an inmate of the Home of the Little Si-ters of the Toor wa- overcome uy tnc intense lieat or yester- u . anu leu to tne pavement v line wallcing along tarah street, near South Eighteenth street. The jiatrol was called and he was t-iit to the Southside Hospital where he f-oon recovered. He lelt the home on a fur lougli. and was visiting friends and relatives oh the outhide. In Allegueny the death rate is normal, but ot the 34 deaths last neck almost half were infant" under 5 years ol .age. Diphtheria cauM.-d four deaths; cholera infantum, three and pni-umonia, three. Matilda swanson, a Swede, S3 years old, omploj ed as a domestic in the house of B F iAiighlin, of Jones & Laughlin, at the cor ner ol Penn and Murtland avenues, was over" come by the heat about 8 o'clock last nl"h; The West Penn Hospital ambulance wa sent lor to have the woman sent to the hoss vital, but the woman died before she could" be placed in the ambulance. An inquest w ill be held to-day. . The temperature yesterday reached the 92 mark in the atternoon. Observations taken at the Signal Service Office were as follows: e a. si.. tO": 10 a. m., 85; 12 St., bS3; 2 r. at 91 S p. M., St'. Maximum temperature was Sri3' and minimum 70. ADVANTAGES OF SHADE TREES. No Sunstrokes In Wilkinsburg, but rienty of Sickness. Although the temperature in the sun in Wilkinsburg has been as high as else where in the vicinity, there had not been any cases of prostration by heat up to last night. In conversation with a Dispatch reporter, Dr. J. S. Stevens, of that place, said: "One might think we should have a good many cases ofsunstroke here, with the mercury so near the top of the tube. But I haenot had a single case, and I have not heard of any. Tho reason Is simple. We have so many shade trees that the sun does not get a chance atrthe people. I believe the surest preventive of sunstroke is plenty of sliade trees. Wilkinsburg is pretty well supplied in that respect, and she will ha e more before long. There is a hint for Pittsburg, and one that should be acted upon without loss of time. I mean the lower part of Pittsburg. The residence dis tricts are all right. "But the hot weather has affected the health of Wilkinsburg. I have liad 12 cases of cholera infantum within 24 hours. This sort of weather is death to the babies. Re ports from all tho other physicians are about the same. Summer complaint is rampant among the little ones." 31111 workers Disabled. Slany of the McKeesport mill men were compelled to quit work on account of the heat, and many will be afraid to go to work IGH on that account tonight. A. great many of tho men have taken crumps after ( drinking cold -water, but none of the cases are of u dangerous nature.' WHY HE IS HOPEFUL. Hot Weather in Jane Insures a Good Ex cursion Traffic. Division Passenger Agent Smith, of the Baltimore and Ohio road, remarked yester day that In his experience of 20 years In tho business he always noticed that when the last two weeks of June are hot that tho ex cursion season is sure to be a good one Early in the sumrjer people are not hard ened to the heat, and with the first calorlo wave they make np their minds to go sfway. If the weather is cool until the middle of July, a great many persons decide it is too late in tho season to leavo home, and so swelter until cold weather comes. There are some who take their summer outing every year regardless of the heat or cold. FOLLOWED THE PASTOR. Kev. J. A. Burnett's Congregation Will Ask to Be Admitted to the Monongahela Presbytery of tho V. P. Church Over Fifty Karnes Placed on the Petition. The friends of Rev. J. A. Burnett, former ly pastor of the WllklnshurgBeformed Pres byterian Church, but lately suspended from the R. P. ministry by Presbytery for sub scribing to and upholding the principles of the now famous "East End platform," have determined to give him a charge In Wilklns burg if it is possible. They met last night In Lohr's Hall to the nhmber of about 50, Mr. Burnett being present at their request. Robert Thompson was elected Chairman and Walter Hazlett Secretary. Tho proceed ings were opened with prayer by Mr. Bur nett, who then told the object of the gather ing. It was to take steps for the organiza tion of a church in Wilkinsburg, of which ho (Mr. Burnett) was to be pastor. The object was so well understood before hand that it did not take long for the meet ing to draw up a petition to the Mononga hela Presbytery ot the JJnitcd Presbyterian Church asking for an organization in Wil kinsburg. As soon as the petition had been drawn up by the Secretary and read by the Chairman, there was a general rush to sign it. forty signatures were affixed to the doc ument nt once, and it Is expected that 50 or CO will bo obtained before it is presented to ine u. tr. Doay. Monongahela Presbytery will meet in Wilkinsburg on June 30, and it is understood that tho petition will be granted without hesitation. Tlie new organization will be known as tho Second U. P. Church of Wil kinsburg. An address was delivered by Mr. Stewart, an elder of the First United Presbvterian Church of Pittsburg, bidding Mr. Burnett and his friends God speed and extending to them tho right hand of fellowship. In response to a general call Mr. Burnett spoke briefly upon the situation In which he ana ins aunerents round themselves, tie pointed out the necesslty'of working hard and bending every energy toward the ac complishment of the purpose for which they had met. He said he hoped to do as much good In his new church as ho had meant to do In the old, to which he referredmost affec tionately more than once. It is expected that about 50 of Mr. Bur nett's old congregation will follow, him. He has been holding services in lohr's Hall every Sunday since his suspension, accord ing to the form of the ReformedvPresbyterlan Church. He will continue in this hall until a new United Presbyterian Church can be built, but will, of course, adopt the ritual of the United Presbyterian Church as soon as he is admitted to that body. There Is not much difference between the United Presby terian and Reformed Presbyterian Churches, they beiug nearer than any other branches of the Presby teriau faith. ANOTHER CHTJECH SQUABBLE. Colored Baptists Threaten to Pull Away rtoin Their White Brethren. At 11 o'clock this morning there will be a meeting of the Colored Baptist Association at tho Baptist Church, Scott and Robinson streets, Allegheny. Many prominent preachers of that denomination will be present. There Is considerable animus in the purpose and Intent of the meeting, as there is a wish on the part of many ot the colored Baptists of Allegheny, it seems, to makethemsclves independent of the domin ation of tho Pittsburg Association. This body has assumed to dictate the standard of faith to them. Rev. J. H. Pryor, pastor of the Ebenezer Church, Colwell and Milton, it appears, Is the prune mover in the deliberations to bo carried on this morning, together with J. C. Taylor, of tlie Tabernacle, and Rev. R. S. Laws, of the Green Street Church, Allegheny. Rev. Air. Pryor has been excommunicated by the Pittsburg Association on the charge of heterodoxy. He proved himself an open communionist and the ecclesiastical court expelled him. HAY0B GOUBLEY ON THE BENCH. He Will Hold His First Hearing" This Afternoon. Mayor Gourley will preside at a hearing in Alderman McKenna's office this -afternoon.

Carnegie, Phipps & Co. Start a New Armor Mill at Homestead. IT IS AHEAD OP ANYTHING KNOWN. An Injunction Granted Against the Inter fering Bricklayers. THE STRIKE SUSTAINS NO CHANGE The Homestead steel plant of Carnegie, Phipps & Co. is at length fully equipped to roll armor plate. At 0 o'clock yesterday morning an ingot weighing 11,000 pounds was swung from the soaking pits to the rolls of a new mill, and In a few passes had been re duced to a long, glowing plate, three Inches thick. In this first trial of the new mill It was found that the rolls would take a draft of two inches; that Is, that the thickness of the ingot would be reduced to that extent at each passage through the rolls. This is an accomplishment heretofore unheard of a reduction of five-eighths of one Inch at one pass being regarded as good practice and reflects tho greatest credit on the mechan ical Ingenuity of John A. Potter, the general manager of the works. The mill supersedes all others in the world, and places Carnegie, Phipps & Co. In a unique position as regards the manufacture of armor plate, 'a demand for which, for Government and commercial purposes, is likely to become very large within the next few years. Construction of the Mill. The construction of tho new mill was com menced just eight weeks ago, when the old vertical and horizontal trains, known as the 32-inch mill, was begun to be torn down. The room occupied by this mill was required for the new one. The new mill is knowmas a 4-high mill that is, it has four rolls in the vertical train and four in the horizon tal. Both work in unison, though they are driven by separate engines, that driving the vertical rolls being tho smaller. Both en gines are of the reversible type, quick act ing, and aggregate 3.000 horse power. The horizontal rods are 110 inches long, which is also the entire rolling surface. The top and bottom rolls are each S2 inches in diameter; the two middle rolls measure 24 Inches In di ameter, while the four vertical rolls are of uniform size. The two bousens of the hori zontal rolls weigh 90,000 pounds each and are lofty. Only the two middle rolls are driven, being coupled in the usual way to tho driving pinions with a spindle. Of the four rolls only the top and the upper middle rolls move up and down the housens the lower middle and bottom rolls being the "receiv ers." Tho draft is resulated by the two upper rolls movingup and down the housens at the will of the roller. The contracts held by tho Arm for Government work have al ready been noted in Tus Dispatch. Commercial Meaning of the Plant. The investment of a largo sum of money in this plant by Carnegie, Phipps & Co., at a time when doubt is expressed in many quarters "as to the commercial prospects of the iron trade for the year though this plant is, of course, for special work, it must be re garded as sustaining the views, supporting the outlook as being favorable, which have been expressed In these columns within a month. The attitude of Ironworkers in the Pittsburg district furnishes additional evi dence of these views. Of theblast furnaces in the district there are 22 now in operation casting 4,475 tons of metal every 24 hours, 2,500 tons being Bessemerand the remainder foundry grades. This is an increase of sev eral hundred tons on the amount made last fall. The total amount for this month when ended will be about 134,250 tons, or 4,250 tons more than during the month of January before the coke strike was Inaugurated. With 120,000 tons cast in February, 75.000 in March, 60,000 in April, and 120.000 in May, the June figures quoted would show a total of 640,000 tons of iron made during tho first six months of the year. Tho increased output for this month Is regarded by brokers as an indication on the part of furnace men that thoy expect a good market for tho stock thoy are now putting up, for all of it is not going into con sumption. The Clinton furnace is making 100 tons a day, which is being stocked, as the mill is still closed down. DETERMINED ON A MONOPOLY. Telephone Men Would Make Nearby Wires Free to Shut Out Competitors. Superintendent W. D. Paynter, of the local telephone company, said last evening that a number of people in Philadelphia and this city whp had whacked up liberally to have a bill passed providing for a reduction in tele phone rates feel sore that the measure never got through the House, and they now think they were hoodwinked. The Bell patents will expire In 1893, but rather than allow a rival company to gain a foothold In this city, Mr. Paynter said they would make the lines to nearby towns free. They are determined to have a monopoly of the business at all hazards. A new trunk line is being built between Xew York and Chicago with Pittsburg as a relay station. A gang of men were put to work at Ebensburg a few days ago to put up the wire to Pittsburg. The line is also be ing built from Now York. NO MATERIAL CHANGE. Tho Strike In the Building Trade Shows No Signs of Breaking. The strike in the building trade remains as before. While the Builders' Exchange officials claim some secessions from the ranks of the strikers, the committees of the latter disclaim them. Both sides seem dis posed to continue the warfare. Reports of attempted conferences sent abroad yester day could not be traced to a reliable source. A bricklayer called upon Mr. McCandless at the Joslyn theater to ask if he had any sug gestions to offer for a compromise, but Mr. McCandlessliad none. Ho said his craft was firm In refusing any concessions. Agent O'Brien, of the bricklayers, reported that he had information from the officials of the lntertational Union that ample assist ance would be forthcoming. Sixteen brick layers went to Roanoke, Va., yesterday, and many of thoe now idle are expected to find work in a short time. WINDOW PEICES PJtEM. Glass Men Will Not Advance Bates at tho Chicago Meeting. Another meeting of windowtglass manu facturers will be held in Chicago to-day to consider tne traue. secretary William Loeffler headed tho ffissburg makers who left for the Windy City on the "rrrsited last evening. He said many of the factories on account of tho hot weather had already shut down, and by July 1 all the plants would bo closed. The association may instruct the Wago Committee, or tho latter may make a partial report, but as usual Mr. Loeffler didn't know what would be done. Some trouble is ex pected when the conferencoof thmenand makers is held in August. The stocks are low, but prices remain firm. Mr. Loeffler was sure the rates would not be advanced. The building strikes are local In their effect, and do not interfere with the general trade. LEAD DIEECTOHS MEET. Managers of the Trust Pay a Visit to the Local Factories. The directors of the lead trust met hero yesterday to transact some business In con nection with the two local plants. Those present who registere'dat the Anderson were General A. T. Goshorn, of Cincinnati; J. s. Steenken, L. A. Cole and Joseph L. McBlr ney. New York. Thoy visited the works and declared they found everything in good shape. General Goshorn said last evening that nothing of importance was done. It was more of an inspecting trip than anything else. He said the trust was flourishing and business was good In general, but the strikes had de moralized the trade in Pittsburg. The stock certificates are rated high and are holding their own in the market. IN DAILY DELLBEBATION. Ironworkers Continue the Work of Legis lation in the Forbes Street HaU. The Amalgamated Association convention still continues its dally grind at the iron scale, the main points in which have been already printed in The Dispatch. Nothing of much pnblio importance will be done now until the steel scales comes up and then something of interest may trans Tllre. The nuhlientlnn In these nnlnmn. nr the salient points in the scale, so long prior to the usual time for such news to find its way Into print has destroyed all theteter est in the routine proceedings. GUILTY OF A NUISANCE. An Injunction Granted Against J. H. O'Brien and Others at the Salt of Mc Candless & Kinzer Judge McClung's Lengthy Opinion. The injunction .suit of McCandless & Kinzer, contracting bricklayers for the new Joslyn Theater, against John H, O'Brien and others, members of Bricklayers' Union No. 2, was yesterday decided in favor of tho plaintiffs in Common Pleas No. S. The re sult of the decree, -handed down by Judge McClung, as expressed in the opinion of that Judge filed with it, finds the defendants guilty of acts which constitute a nuisance, and the injunction was granted, in the words of the Judge, "not because defendants bo long to the organization named and seek by fairpersuasion to accomplish its purpose, but because they have undertaken by words and acts, by their numbers, their manner and their movements, not to persuade work men to look at the matter of working for plaintiffs as they view it, and of their own tree will cease, but to practically compel them, by annoyance and Intimidation, to leave plaintiffs' employ or refuse employ ment, and thus are guilty of acts which con stitute a. nuisance, which equity will re strain.". What Caused the Suit. The bill filed arose out of the efforts of the organization to prevent workmen, whom the contractors alleged were willing to work for them, from so doing, as the recital has It, "by threats, intimidation, menaces, gathering of crowds at and about the build ing in the erection of which the plaintiffs' workmen are employed, and- about the boarding houses of said workmen, and by various systems of annoyance have been en gaged in driving off employes who were willing and anxious to work for said plain tiffs, and have thus not only greatly annoyed and harassed the plaintiffs, but have, in ad dition, put them to groat cost and expense, hindered them In the performance of their contract to erect said building, that by such hlnderance, if continued, they will cause plaintiffs great and irreparable loss and dam age. The affidavits filed by plaintiffs am plify these charges, and specify particular instances of defendants' alleged miscon duct." Tho defendants denied the commission of any illegal acts, and specifically denied cer tain allegations as to assaults on the plain tiffs' workmen and attempts to force these workinen'to listen to the defendants against their w ill. The defendants also said that the men to whom they were talking were not unwilling to listen. Judge McClung In his opinion said it was not necessary to deter mine these disputed questions or facts. It sufficiently anneared that tho defendants being members of an organization interested in having men refuse to work for plaintiffs, or quit work when alreadyengaged, were not satisfied with such means as lelt such work men to choose freely between working and refraining from work, but undertook to so act as to make It unpleasant and apparently in some degree unsafe for them to continue In plaintiffs' employ, and to embarrass them by preventing them from obtaining suitable lodging or boarding places, and thus force those who were desirous of working to quit plaintiffs' employ. It required no argument to show that the law must afford a remedy of some sort in such cases. Bights of Employer and Employe. The right of the workman to be employed, of course, involved tho right of the employer to engage him and have him work for him. The opinion continues: "We do not base our order upon the facts that the defendants are members of an or ganization whoso purpose it is to compel tho payment of higher wages by maintaining a strike. Were this all, whatever might be our opinion as to such organization for such purpose, it does not lie with the plaintiffs to question Its propriety, while they appear to be acting under the direction of an organiza tion, whose purpose Is to keep down wage3 by artificial means, and whose mothods are at least as objectionable as are thoso of the defendants. Wo do not condemn now either organization. In fact wo are, for the pur pose of this case, put in the position which a court of equity should occupy, by treating both as having a right to exist and to pursue their purposes by peaceful and proper means. Ave deal only with act3 which carry them beyond this limit." Judge McClung directed Mr. Ferguson, plaintiffs' gounsel, to draw up the restrain ing order and present It for approval. At the theater yesterday there were 23 bricklayers at work, 21 of whom were Jour neymen. Mr. McCandless said that he ex pected to have the brick work finished by the middle of July. He l)ad all the men he wanted Just now. New Incline Tickets. The monthly issue of individual tickets, family tickets and school tickets, on the Monongahela Incline, will be abolished and a new Issue in coupon form good for 60 trips will take the place for the same price as the monthly tickets. The tickets are good until used and are good only one way. The change will be made from the 1st July. Meeting at Niagara. The agents of the Pittsburg Freight Com mittee left for Niagara Falls last evening to confer with the committees from Youngs townand Buffalo about sundry matters of no great Interest to anybody. The truth Is the freight men want a day off and a little sport. Monthly Meeting of Engineers. The Engineers' Society of Western Penn sylvania will hold its regular monthly meet ing to-day in tho parlors of the Academy of Science and Arts.Thaw Mansion.Flfth street. Harry J. Lewis will read a paper on "Bridge Design." The Proposed Trades School. William McCreery, of the Exposition So ciety directory, who has been interesting himself in the "establishment of a trades school, thinks that such an establishment may be laised in time. But that time is not very near. Becelpts of Pnblio Works.

He was an independent In politics until Quay wanted to nominate Charles S. Wolfe, and by that showed he was anxlons to conciliate all the factions in the Interest of harmony. Then he became an adherent of the silent Senator.and is one or his leading and truest backers to-day. In Beaver county he said they wero for Quay. Personally he likes Dalzell, and says he did as much as any man In Allegheny county to secure his first nomination for Congress. Colonel W. H. Reed, another Quayite of the most pronounced type, remarked that he would vote for David Collingwood, in tho Americus Club, as one of Dalzell's delegates. He regretted so able and representative a man as Dalzell should be made the catspaw for the kickers and disgruntled element in the Republican party. Tho fact Is nevertheless true that what Is known as the Quay wing of the party will fight Dalzell tooth and nail, and they claim no w that Jack Robinson will have four votes to Dalzell's one in tho convention. A Quay supporter said yesterday that he would go to tne convention witn u aeiegates, lnciuu ing himself, from Allegheny county against Dalzell. Figures Given by Both Sides. Mr. Dalzell's people are figuring at present on 68 delegates from this county, but the opposition only count on 22 for him out of this number. They deny that such organi zations as tho "Edwin M. Stanton Club" and "Delamater Guards," reputed for Dalzell, are In existence. These clubs were started, they declare, to be used in the campaign last fall and since then have died natural deaths. The opponents of Dalzell are at work organ izing clubs In the city to secure repre sentatives In the convention to vote against him. They Insist that Mayor Logan and Harry English are work ing the same tactics for the Plttsbuts Congressman. It is stated on good authority that a canvass of the Sewickley Club, mado last Saturday evening, showed only three members out of 160 favorable to Dalzell. The opposition say also that RandolFs friends icalizo how things are going, and rather than lose all are trading his delegates for Eastern support, and this is how the story of treachery to Dalzell originated. Dalzell is to be fought on tho ground that he Is not a Republican, but a Mugwump. His Republicanism will be impugned at overy point, and this will be the keynote to the yells of his opponents In the conven tion. Tne Schemes of the Opposition. The young fellows are being told that Dal zell not only skulked In his tent and refused to speak for Delamater, which they now commend In tho light of subsequent events, but that he laid down on the entires tate ticket, for which there is no excuse. On the other hand, Jack Robinson will be held up as the hard-worker who made 100 speeches in 40 counties last fall.and, like Achilles', stayed with the party In Its inglorious defeat. He will be poiuted out as a shining light, and as one of tho faithful deserves promotion in preference to the skulker. Great stress will be laid on the fact that Dalzell stood back with folded hands, and allowed the Democrats to capture Congress without giving one blow in defence of the slender Republican majority. Jack Robinson's supporters In this county deny that their man could be easily pulled off if he wero seen. They claim he is hi the ring tongiittoa unisu, ana ne win win. it is becoming apparent to Mr. Dalzell's backers that he will not have a walkover even in Allegheny county, and from now out the fight will be lively and for blood. IN LINE FOE M'KINLEY. The New Party Will Watch Close Legislative Districts In Ohio. A number of McKlnley's delegates from East Liverpool, bound for the Columbus Convention, registered at the Anderson last evening. In the party were B. C. and J. H. Simms, John N. Taylor, W. L. Smith, H. W. Harker and Homer Laughlin. Most of them are well-known pottery manufacturers and aro high tariff men. Mr. Laughlin said McKinley would have no opposition. All Republicans are for him, and lie thinks his election is only a question of majority. He doesn't understand that Foraker is on top once more, as reported, but that he Is working in line with the party. Governor Campbell, he says. Is the strongest Democrat In the State. Not much is expected from the new party. They will confine themselves to close legislative dis trict with a view to holding the balance of power. , DEAF JUB0BS CAUSE NEW TBIAL.

Great Increase In the Amount Paid Ont to Pittsburg 'Teterans Nearly a Million the Past Quarter The Old-Timers Now adays Rapidly Dying Off. There are at present between 29,000 and 30, 000 pensioners carried on the rolls of the Pittsburg Pension Agency, and Pension Agent Bengough states that new ones are being added at the rate of 75 per day, under the operation of the act of June 27, 1890. The Pension Commissioner informed Mr. Ben gough, while the latter was in Washington recently, that the adjudications of new pensions under that act have been 1,800 a day, which would give an average of 100 a day at each agency. This is tho quarterly pension payment month, and the Pittsburg agency np to Saturday evening had paid 26,788 pensions, and the remainder will all get In this week. The amount of money distributed at this agency to date on this payment Is $9S4, 533 77. Mr. Bengough states that the roll is grow ing rapidly under the last enactment, out a large proportion of the applicants will not last long, there being much sickness among the veterans, their death roll in this district now averaging 15 a day. Under the last law no surviving pensioner gets aDove $12 a month, and no widow more than $8 a month, and the amount of arrearage is small, $60 being the most due, running from date of application. It Is now 30 years since the first enlist ments, and a great many veterans were con siderably more than of age in 1861, conse quently they are now generally considera bly past middle life, and' are dropping by thewavside at a rate that in the course of ten years to come will greatly decimate their- mutts, jxiauy cuniracteu uuntsu iium va- posure that has had more effect to shorten life than wounds would have had.
