Master 'Builders ' HdtfjastfKglrt wnlAc-t
cepted the Invitation to a
Conference
SEXTTHEII BT THESTRIKEICOttMITTEE. J
The Outcome Eagerly Watched for Citizens asWell
as Workers.
Mayor Gourley's friendly cfibrtrto bring
about a confcrcncetoetwcen the masters nnd
Journeymen in the building tradesidispnte
has been thoroughly successful. fora con
ference between the -Master Builders' As
sociation and tho Strikers' Committee will
be held this afternoon. The Mayor in view
only had this object that of bringing the-
-two parties together and-hc never contem
plated mixing himself up in tho dispute.
When the announcement appearedin yes
terday's Dispatch that tho Mayor would
-write to each side and ask them to call on
him, with the view of trying-to bring about
e. conference, public attention became more
centered on the strike than ever. The Mayor's
action was held to be justiwhatthe chief
official of a city who had the interest of his
constituents at heart should do, to strivo to
effect some settlement of a strike of seven
weeks standing to-dav, which was exercis
ing a very depressingieffccton business inii
general.
Effect of the Mayor's Proposition.
The announcement in The DisrATcn fore
stalled by several hours the letters which
the Mavor said ho would vwritc. and both
sides quickly realized what was the best.
course to pursue under the circumstances.
At the strikers' headquarters Mayor Gour
ley's action was warmly praised and re
ceived a ready response in a communication
sent to tho Master Builders' (Association,
stating that tho men were willing and ready
to meet the masters in conference. At the
Exchange the request for a conference wns
discussed and turned over to tbe Builders'
Association, to be acted upon at'tho latter's
regular meeting this evening.
Earl v yesterday morning the Mayor sent a
letter to President Barnes, of the Builders'
Exchange, and one to A. M. Swartz, of tho
Carpenters' Union, requesting them to call
at his office. Mr. Swartz came at 2 o'clock
r. M., accompanied by Mr. Davis. They in
formed the Mayor that they had already
sent word to the master carpenters to the
effect that they w ere willing to hold a con
ference at 2 o'clock this afternoon. later in
the day Mr. Barnes had a long talk with the
Mayor. When asked the result of his efforts
Mayor Gourley said:
rtolli Sides Kespond'Fromptly.
"Both sides responded promptly to my re
quest to talk with them, and each explained
their side of the question. I understand
from v hat they say that both are willing
and anxious to confer on the difficulty,
which I was very glad to hear. Since it is
already apparent they will meet to-morrow
afternoon, I do not feel it my duty to do
anvthing more iu tho matter. It wns
notmv Intention to obtrude myself upon
them, "but only in the interest of themselves
and the city to see whether or not some
amicable agreement could bo reached. This
1 did on the understanding that whllo tho
desire to effect a settlement was mutual,
each side was backward about making the
first advance, fearing the other would im
agine them weakening. Xow that they have
agreed to a conference, I see no reason for
further action on my part. Those who criti
cise what I have done are laboring under a
misconception of my intent, but the gentle
men with whom I talked to-day understand
my motives fully."
How the Builders Took Action.
The Builders" Exchange did not accept
the Mayor's suggestion with any degree of
friendliness, and members were pretty free
in expressing opinions to the effeet that his
llonor's "Interference," as it was termed,
was uncalled for. Tho letter was handed to
the directory for action, and they deemed it
advisable that Mr. Barnes should seo tho
Mayor, as he requested.
The Master Builders' Association met last
evening to consider the request of the Jour
neymen for a conference. This it was de
cided to grant, and an intimation to that
effect was ordered forwarded.
The statement made in yesterday's Dis
patch regarding a carpenter who had been
offered nn advance of 510 if he would return
to -uoik, and had refused it, was angrily de
nied yesterday by the Exchange, which is
w illing to offer aren ard for evidence against
any member -who hat. offered even $2 ad
vance to any carpenter. There is strong
probability that this evidence will be forth
coming. PLAYING A CLEVEE GAME.
An Ex-Vostoffico Employe Caught Up for
Enjoying Official Privileges.
A. J. Demaree, a former postal clerk, was
arrested yesterday at Altoona by Postofflce
Inspector Dickson on the charge of imper
sonating an employo of the Government.
Demaree, it was stated, was dischargedfrom
the postal service about two months ago.

entitles the holder to ride free on the rail
road, as a Government employee, and bears
the owner's photograph and signature.

WILL RUN SUNDAY TBAINS.
The Cleveland & Pittsburg Railroad Slaking
a Xew Departure
A new schedule for the Cleveland and
Pittsburg Railroad is being prepared, and
will in all probability go into effect on tho
SSth. One of the most notablo changes will
be tho adding of two Sunday trains, one
each way, betw een Cleveland and Pittsburg
-omething never before known in the his
tory of the road. They will be fully
equipped and make the ruii in four hours.
During the life of J. X. McCulIough ho
would not permit Sunday trains to run on
the road, hut the new managers seo the ne
cessity for them, and have concluded to try
them during the summer. Fast time can bo
made, as no other trains will run on that
day, thus obviating the delays caused by
taking sidings, aiting orders, etc.
UNDEE TWO CHAEGES.
Harry Ford Will Regret His Visit to
SclUangcr'g Saloon.
East night Harry Ford, a young man, en
tered Max Schlanger's saloon, on Wylie av
enue, and, after taking a drink, assaulted
William Arkins, beating htm on tho head
with a billy. Officer Metzger and Constable
Sherry heard of the row and started for tho
saloon. Ford saw them coming and tried to
escape by running, but was captured after a
long chase and lodged in the Eleventh ward
btation.
Mr. Arkins subsequently went before Al
derman Richards and entered suit asainst
Ford for aggravated assault and ba-tery and
Mr. Schlanger entered a charge of disorderly
conduct against him.
Buried Under 1 Kitchen.
The remains of an infan; were found yes
terday morning under the kitchen of an old
house on Pier street, near Oakland avenue,
by workmen tearing it down. Tho house is
old and owned by George Kittncr. It was
last occupied by a colored family named
Parker, w ho moved to Bellefield. The re
mains were buried under the floor and were
badly decomposed.
Impossible to Control Him.
John Kroellingcr, a 17-year-old boy, was
arrested in Allegheny yesterday on a chargo
of incorrigibility preferred by his father. It
is alleged that tho boy is bej ond his parents'
oontrol and that he was given every chance
to reform by being placed on a United States
training ship, but ran away from there.
Mayor Wyman will dispose of-the case this
morning.
A SILVER SPOON.
A Swarm of Bees .That Didn't Get Away
Very Far Their Former Hire Offered to
Their Captor Italian Immigrants of a
Pauper Kind.
This is a great country, and Pittsburg is as
great in its way and as metropolitan in char
acter as the country itself. Xot only are the
Italians swarming hither, as a haven of
work andrefuge, in large numbers, but even
the Italian bees have caught tho idea, on the
wing, as it were, and are acting accordingly.
A swarm of Italian bees that settled in the
rocks, near the Union depot Monday, has
found that this is a land flowing with milk
and honey.
It was left for a Dispatch reporter, who
doesn't pretend to be more than an amateur
in the wisdom of bees, to trace the wander
ings of that swarm and to clear up the mys
tery of their sudden appearance from no
one knows where.
Mr. Johnson, their captor, was right as to
their nationality. Thoy came from a well
known apiarist in Friendship, X. Y., and for
a month past had been on exhibition in the
oof summer garden of Harry Davis'
Museum. There, in an observation hive,
thev had been industriously working. Their
operations had been watched through
the glass sides of tho hive by many
curious and interested spectators. Tney
bad been privileged guests, and
made welcome to go and come
as thev pleased. In the ripeness of time they
decided to swarm the other day and to
"seek fresh fleldsand pastures new." It was
thus, through an open n indow and with no
obstacles in their way, that they hied away.
Manager Cirlisle, however, says that not
onlvisMr. Johnson entitled to his bees for
bis pains (although it is not reported that he
received any stings), but that he can also
have the special hive designed for their use
by applying for it. This prize is offered as
perhaps even more appropriate than a silver
spoon, which the old rhyme has it a swarm
in June is worth. The lines aro doubtless
. familiar to many:
A swarm in Mav Is worth aton of hay;
A swarm In June Is t orth a silver spoon;
A swarm In July isn't worth a fly.
AN UNLUCKY QUABTET.

BELIEF TO BE GAINED FROM EECOBDS
Eighty-sis degrees was tho highest point
reached yesterday. A good wind was blow-,
ing, yet it was one of those days which
would drive men to try their chances in an
other world, were it not for tho faint hope
that, somewhere within the weary waste of
years to come, some method may be found
by which tho powers of the Bun can be
curbed at will. A glance over the signal
service records for the past 20 years also
serves to soften the present condition. On
July 3, 1S76, the thermometer indicated a
temperature of 101 degrees, and it has done
the samo since, on July 18, 1878, and on July
17, 1S87. The hottest day on record
was July 10, 1881, when tho mer
cury, in its ardent worship of
tho sun god.lovingly kissed the marks at 103.
With such a record a more matter of 86 is
not regarded as anything. The only fear is
that history will repeat itself later on.
Yesterday morning there was a rainfall of
.24 of an inch. Between 2 o'clock and 5 it
showered continually and again between 11
and 12 o'clock another slight shower blessed
the earth but disappeared almost as rapidly
as it fell. At 5 o'clock yesterday morning
the records showed 72. At,8 this was in
creased to 73, and four hours later it was 77.
At i o'clock the maximum was reached, and
an hour later it had 'dropped one degree.
Spiced With a Dash, of Rain.
From that on the drop was continual. At
7:30 one of the hardest rains of the year
poured down until the streets ran like rivers
and pedestrians ran like mad. It did not last
over three-quarters of an hour, but the
ground was thoroughly drenched and like
wise everyone exposed to the rain's fury.
Owing to the suddenness of the storm but
few people were prepared, and men and
women could be seen scurrying in all direc
tions. Feopie on the street cars rode away
past their homes rather than get out and
.breast the storm. One plucky woman on a
Pleasant Valley car, however, tried it at
Lacock and Anderson streets. She started
to run, but the rain blinded her and she fell
in the middle of the street, while between
the dashes of rain was presented a scene of
of fluttering white and strugelinc arms. In
the parks the avenues were filled with water,
andcrouchlng under one treecouldbe seen a
solitary man clutching an umbrella in one
hand and his lady companion with tho other.
Another storm followed in the half hour
which preceded 11 o'clock. During this one
similar scenes were presented, but no one
minded them because the air had assumed a
quality of coolness that was positively re
freshing. At the samo hour that tho first storm swept
over tho downtown portion of the city and
Allegheny, the East End was visited by a
verypeculiar storm. The rain area seemed
to cover the East End. leaving Soho and
Ilazelwood dry. In the East End the rain
fell in torrents, flooding cellars and sewers,
while in Soho nnd Hazelwood there was not
a drop to moisten tho earth.
Notwithstanding the fact that only 86
was registered at the Signal Service Bureau,
down on tho streets the mercury was mak
ing calls among the nineties with disastrous
effect to the public health. Deaths are being
reported at the Bureau of nealth almost as
rapidly as during tho grip siege. There is a
remarkable death rate among the infants
and aged people, and most of it is traceable
to the heat, bo far this month thero have
been 3S0 deaths reported, while for the en
tire month of June last year thore were
603 deaths recorded.
An Awful Increaso in Mortality.
For the week ending last Sunday night
tho number of deaths lecorded in Plttsburg
was 107. Of these 23 died in the old city,
whllo in tho East End 43 wero recorded.
Twenty-four died on the Southside and 11 in
the various Institutions. There wero 71
single people among the number and 26 mar
ried people. Of the entire number 33 were
under 1 year of age, 27 under 10 years of age,
10 each between the ages of 30 and 40 and 60
and 70. Four of tho number were 80 years
of ago.
Eight deaths were the result of convulsions
caused by heat, i from meningitis, 19 from
diseases of the digestive organs, 1 from
whooping cough, 3 from diphtheria, 1 from
measles, 3 from typhoid fever, 6 from cerebro
spinal fever, 1 fromcroup,3 from bronchitis,
5 from pneumonia and 6 from various heart
troubles.
So far this week 90 deaths have been re
ported. Seven were caused by cholera in
fantum; pneumonia, 7: convulsions, 6; heat.
3; cholera, morbus, 1, and cerebro-splnal
meningitis, 6.
In order to prevent any inroads against
the health of the city. Superintendent Baker
is making every eflort to have the city in
perfoct order. He believes much harm is
done by the open garbage wagons, espec
ially those which drop portions of their
loads along tho streets. Yesterday he had
four violators of the health laws arrested.
They were Stephen Travis, Sol Ellis,
Robert Solsom nnd John Turner,
colored drivers of garbage wagons for
an East End refuse company. They
have been driving wagons loaded with gar
bage through the streets, and the wagons
being in bad condition their contents leaked
out and ran over the pavements, creating a
stench that was not only unhealthful but
unbearable. The defendants will have a
hearing before Alderman Richards.
In the mills yesterday the heat was still so
'great that many of the Lawrenceville and
Southside factories had to closo down. Over
lh Allegheny Mayor McLaughlin, of the
Health Bureau, is taking every precaution
to prevent disease. Yesterday he fined six
people for maintaining nuisances. He has
also ordered the residents of Butcher's Run
to cleanup their premises.
Victims of Too Much Sun.
Millet Weston, a laborer, who lives In Mill
vale, was overcome by,hcat yesterday after
noon while walking on Forty-second street.
He was removed into a house nearby and re
ceived medical attention. Last evening ho
was taken to his home. His condition is not
serious.
David Davis, tho well-known Southside
citizen, is slowly recovering from an attack
of nervous prostration caused by tho exces
sive heat. -
William Thomas, a Southside contractor,
was overcome by heat early yesterday after
noon while driving along Sarah street, near
South Twenty-second street. Ho was taken
to a house nearby and a physician called,
who pronounced his condition serious.
Later in the day ho recovered sufficiently to
be taken to his homo on Spring street,
Twenty-seventh ward.
During yesterday afternoon Henry Bleech
ler, of East street, visited the Allegheny De
linquent Tax Collector's office. One named
Greer, who presides there, was wiping the
streams of sweat that sprung from that
portion of his head where tho hair had per
sistently refused to grow. At tne samo time
he was anxiously watching the tide of mer
cury as it flowed higher and higher in tho
tube.
"That's whero you make your mistake,"'
exclaimed Mr. Bleecbler. "I havo always
made it a rule never to Jook at a theremom
eter either in hot or cold weather, and in
that wav I maintain about an even temper
ature. If a man knows that the tempera
ture is below zero ho suffers more than if he
did not know it. In the same way the man
who holds a fan in one hand and a thermom
eter in the other adds at least five degrees
to the temperature through worry. It you
would throw that pesky instrument out tho
window it would do you more good than to
take a dip in a barrel of ice water."
YOUNG BUCKS AND S0.UAWS.
Indian Children Pass Through From a Mon
tana Agency to Carlisle.
A party of 17 Indian children, nine boys
and eight girls, averaging about 14 years old,
camo on from Montana yesterday and left
at night for Carlisle in charge of Superin
tendent Baker, of the agency. The girls
wero clad in cheap cotton gowns ana wore
red striped shawls over theirshoulders, while
the boys w ore rough suits. They wero stared
at by a curious and ill-mannered crowd
while waiting their train.
Mr. Baker says he has 130 children under
his charge at the agency. He finds them apt
to learn and they are very docile. Four fe
male teachers assist him in the work. The
number of children at Carlisle now is about
150.
Refurnished Clubrooms.
Tho Young Men's Political Club, of the
Sixth ward, held its third annual reception
at its cozy clubrooms on Forbes street, near
Magee street, on Wednesday night. The
clubrooms have .recently undergone a refit
ting and have been fixed up in handsome
style. Among the guests of the evening

PITTSBURG- DISPATCH,
LNSUBANCE SEN IN DETB0IT.
A Now Condition of Membership Eligibility
in Their Constitution.
Detboit, June 18. The National Asso
ciation of Life Underwriters were addressed
this morning by C. E, Willard, of New
York, in reference to establishing a chair of
life insurance in Chicago "University, and
he indorsed the action of the Executive
Committee recommending that such a chair
be established. An interesting paper was
read by Charles H. Ferguson, of Chicago,
on "The Life Insurance Agent, His Qualifi
cations and Requirements," and several
changes in the constitution and by-laws
were made, one of which provides that no
person shall be eligible to "hold office in the
association except the regular agent, man
ager or superintendent of agents of regu
lar legal reserve, level premium and assess
ment companies, and was at first objected to
by some members who thought it would bar
out the Provident Savings Association.
The Secretary was instructed to cast one
ballot for the following officers: President,
Charles H. Raymond, of New York, General
Agent of the Mutual Life; Vice President,
I. Layton Register, of Philadelphia, Gen
eral Agent of the Equitable; Second Vice
President, Alexander Habison, Agent of
the New York Life at Hartford; Secretary,
E. H. Plummer, of the Berkshire Liie,
Philadelphia; Treasurer. "William Eatcliffe,
New England Mutual, New York City, and
a long list of members of the Executive
Committee. The next meeting will be held
in New York City, opening on the third
Wednesday of September, 1S92. The meet
ing then adjourned.
HOMEOPATHS AT ATLANTIC CITY.
Dr. Dake, of Nashville, Contends for Free
dom From Government Control.
Atlantic. Citt, N. .J., June 18. The
'International Homeopathic Congress recon
vened this morning, and the business of the
session was opened with an address by Dr.
J. P. Dake, of Nashville, on 'The Relation
of Civil Government to Physicians," in
which he contended that in medicine the
citizen should have the utmost freedom;
and while the Government could require
certain qualifications from army physicians,
where they have some control, in private
life no one physician should be forced upon
the people.
A report on the "Cyclopaedia of Drug
Pathogenosy" by the editors, Richard
Hughes, M. D., of Brighton, England, and
J. P. Dake, M. D., of Nashville, was read,
showing that the work would shortly be
completed. Dr. Lewis Sherman, of Mil
waukee, read a paper entitled, "Pharmacy
of Tinctures," which was followed by an
additional opinion on the same subject by
A. J. Taffel, of Philadelphia. A paper
was prepared by Dr. Charles S. Mack, of
Ann Arbor, Mich., on "Dr. Hughes' Pro
posed Index to the Cyclopaxlia of Drug
Pathogenosy." The proposed index was
admitted to be a decided advantage. The
"Probable Homeopathic Uses of Some New
But Improved Drugs," prepared by Dr. E.
M. Hale, of Chicago, was read by Dr.
Hughes.
TBEATING FOB INDIAN LANDS.
Brule Chiefs Talk Plainly to the Commis
sioners Negotiating With Them.
Rapid City, S. D.t June 18. Advices
from Pine Ridge Agency state that the com
mission for the transfer of the Brules held a
session with some 600 Brules Wednesday.
The Indians said they wished to remain at
Pine Ridge. The matter rests entirely with
the Ogallalas now there, and a three-fourths
vote is required to effect the change. The
Ogallalas want a portion of the lands trans
ferred, but the commissioner would not as
sent to this.
Blue Horse made a long speech, in which
he said that the Indians wanted to be free
to go and come like white men. He de
clared that all the commissions of the past
26 years had effected nothing, and that their
speeches sent to the Great rather were
thrown into some river or into the stove.
Young-Man-Afraid-of- His -Horses' said a
clear understanding must be had on both
sides. No conclusion has been reached, but
it is probable that the transfer will be ar
ranged. MICHIGAN'S APPOETIONMENT.
The Redlstrictlng Bill Seems to be Defeated
In the Senate.
Lapsing, Mich., June 18. The Senate
had the Congressional apportionment bill
under discussion to-day, or rather a substi
tute for that reported last week. When
the committee rose it was placed upon its
passage under a call of the Senate, but it
failed by a vote of 16 to 11.
The vote was reconsidered amid much
confusion and the bill tabled. A motion to
lay the motion to reconsider upon the table
came near prevailing. Pending a motion
to again go into committee on the whole
the Senate adjourned.
JUST SAVED FE0M DEATH.
A Boy Seized With Cramps While Bathing
in tho Allegheny.
George Story, a Twelfth ward boy, was
nearly drowned yesterday afternoon in the
Allegheny river. He and several compan
ions were in swimming at the foot of Thirty-second
street about 3 o'clock. Story was
attacked by cramps, and before assistance
could reach him he sank twice. An em
ploye of the Black Diamond Steel Works
was called and caught Story before he sank
for the last time.

Delegates to the Convention Spend a Pleas
ant Day at JIcKeesport.
ENTERTAINED BT THE FJEST DISTRICT
The conference committees of the Amal
gamated Association and manufacturers
will meet to-day to discuss the terms of the
next year's scale. It is generally expected
that the scale will meet with acceptance by
the manufacturers, but there are one or two
new clauses or alterations from clauses in
the present scale which may engender
lengthy disousslon before their adoption, if
thoy should be accepted.
Tho memorandum of agreement has an
other clause tacked onto it this year. It
runs as follows: Tho time in scrapping and
bnshellng, also finishing and all other de
partments, shall in no case exceed nino (0)
hours from the time the first heat is charged
until charging shall cease. This is not to
apply to boiling departments (except scrap
ping and bushellng), also rod mills, wire
mills, nut and bolt works, and other depart
ments working under the eight (8) hour
system.
Practically a Nine-Hour Day.
Joseph D. Weeks, in commenting on this,
says that tho clause practically provides for
a nine-hour day in many departments of the
mill. The effect of this clause will differ
greatly in different mills on different days.
The atmospheric conditions may be such on
a given day as to mako the nine hours too
short for producing the tonnage which the
proprietor would have a right to expect, in
view of his investment in plant. Over these
conditions neither the employer nor em
ployed has any control, but a furnace may
be badly designed or constructed, and a
workman may be an inferior hand. In these
cases tho furnace should bo improved on
one side and tho workman on the other.
Section 3 in this year's scale has been cm
bodied in Section 2 of tho new, and with an
alteration which is regarded ns leaving
many loopholes forgrievances. The change
consists of the following: "By the word ma
jority is meant, a majority of tho furnaces
working hard iron, inferior coal, tools and
scarcity of ore and scrap, or any of them,
shall bo considered a grievance."
Fearful of Complications.
Regarding this Mr. Weeks says there are
moro strikes and contests hidden in this
clause than in any clause that ever was put
into a scale. He asks who is to determine
what is inferior coal or tools? and what is a
scarcity of ore? He says that this clause is a
storm center.
Three hundred delegates to tho convention
Journeyed down to McKeesport yesterday
afternoon in pursuance of a hospitable invi
tation extended them by the McKeesport
delegates. The party arrived at McKeesport
at 4:30, when thev tormed into a procession
headed by the "McKeesport Second Ward
Drum and Fife Corps, and marched via
Fifth avenue and Market street to the rink.
Mayor Tilbrook was waiting to receive the
city's guests. Mr. Logan, of McKeesport,
had charge of tho meeting and duly Intro
duced the Mayor to the assembly. In open
ing the proceedings Mayor Tilbrook said
that if it was any hotter at tho furnaces
than it wns thero he didn't want towork at
them. He, as representative of the citizens
of McKeesport, had welcomed many delega
tions on previous occasions to that city, but
he could safely say that never before had he
had greater pleasure than in extending the
hospitality of the city to the members
of tho Amalgamated Association of Iron nnd
Steel Workers. McKeesport had risen
in property, nnd only a few months ago it
was created a city of tho third class. As first
Mayor of the city he had very great pleasure,
indeed, in welcoming to McKeesport tho
delegates of an Association whose members
had done so much to build up the present
commercial importance of the city. AVith
out the strong arm of the iron and steel
worker the city could not long continue to
exist.
Response of President Weihe.
President Weihe responded on behalf of
the Association. The delegates would al
ways remember, he said, with
pleasure the reception accorded
,to them by the first Mayor of McKeesport.
Messrs. Mcllvay, of Toungstown, O.: Kilgal
lon, of Pittsburg; Garland, of Elttsburg;
Doherty, of Pittsburg; Jones, of Steelton.and
Carney, of Pittsburg, also spoke. They were
followed by Mr. Logan, of McKeesport, who
said that the best of the conference had been
mainly arranged with the object of strength
ening the union of McKeesport. He claimed
that the troublo which existed botween the
National Tube and tho National
Rolling Companies and tho asso
ciation had been in a large
measure due to the action of some membors
of tho association themselves. There were
plenty of good men in McKeesport who
thought it was a good enough place to make
a living in, but not good enough in which to
belong to a union. This, he hoped, would
bo altered in the coming years, nnd the visit
of the dolegates to the convention would
have a most beneficial effect.
At 6 o'clock the party proceeded to Home
stead, where, under the guidance of Super
intendent Potts, tho party made a -tour of
the buildings, and the working of the various
departments. In the evening the delegates
assembled in the Homestead Op
era House, where refreshments had
been arranged for by tho First district.
Vice-President William Carney bade the
visitors welcome in the name of the workers
and people of Homestead, to the entertain
ment of the evening. John Kilgannon re
sponded to the invitation on behalf of tho
delegates to the National Association. Mr.
Carney, in introducing Representative D, A.
Jones, of Pennsylvania, as tho first speaker,
paid a high tribute to that gentleman.
Mr. Jones reviewed tho conditions, past
and presont, of the works in a very happy
speech. He was followed by John FN Cox,
H. Kilgannon and Jeremiah Doherty in short
addresses. A motion of thanks to the Home
stead district was moved by Mr. Mcllvay
and carried by acclamation. Mr. Coylo, of
Homestead, responded.
During the evening musical selections wero
given by various members of the convention.
THE SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAY.
City Hall DoorsWlll Be Closed Promptly at
Noon To-Morrow.
Chief Bigelow will follow tho lead of tho
Court House officials to-morrow by closing
up City Hall at noon in accordance with the
Saturday half holiday law passed by tho
Legislature. Hereafter tho front doors of
the building will be closed promptly at 12
o'clock, but city emyloyes whose work de

and City Treasurer's offices will all observe
the new regulation, as well as the Depart
ment of Public Works and city clerks. The
Public Safety offices have received no orders
from Chief Brown, but as these offices are
always kept open thero will be no chango
except, perhaps, to a few employes.

TO CUT DOWN WAGES.
Window Glass Manufacturers SeeMnjr to Re
duce the Cost or Labor.
A little cloud is creeping up on the horizon
of the window glass manufacturers' future.
It takes the form of a prospective struggle
between the owners and workers when tho
yearly scale is presented next month. There
is an understanding among tho manufact
urers that an united effort mustbe made this
year to cut down the cost of labor by at least
10 per cent, What view the Window Glass
Workers' Association will take remains to be
seen, but there is a strong assumption it will
reslseit.
Tho object in reducing the wages in the
Western district is to place the Western
manufacturers on terms ot equality with
their Eastern brethren, who pay 10 per cent
less wages than obtains here. A reduction
in the cost will also enable them to compete
more successfully with the foreign glass,
and incidentally give the manufacturer
more profit. When the question comes up
for discussion after the annual shutdown on
thelstprox., it will be found to require
some vigorous debating before either side
will yield on its point.
Stocks of glass are lower this year than
during the. corresponding period last year,
and the prospects for tho fall business are
regarded as good, if no difficulty arises on
the wage question.
Removal of a Plant.
The Bradley stove foundry will shortly
be transferred from its old quarters j;o a new
site in Kensington.
VENOMOUS LITTLE SNAKES.
Vipers Found in England and Many Othsr
Countries.
In England the only venomous snake is
the viper, which frequents chalky districts,
and is not to be found all over the country.
Perhaps these vipers are the most common
and vicious of the smaller snakes, seldom
growing longer than two feet. They abound
not only in warm countries, where forests
are thick and men are few, but also in the
coldest regions of Sweden, Norway, Eussia
and even Siberia, where, according to the
Illutrated American, a great many exist
owing to a stupid superstition among the
peasants that it a viper is killed a terrible
misfortune will soon befall the rash slaver.
The California viper builds itself a little
mud hut, just its own length, and probably
half an inch thicker than its own body. It
is made of earth, fine gravel and sometimes
leaves are mixed in the construction of this
.curious abode. It is lined with a soft, silky
substance, finer than cotton and silkier than
down. At each end there are two little
doors, and when monsieur la maitre is half
way in one shuts, and when all the way in
the other closes, leaving the master of "the
house as isolated and exclusive as Eobinson
Crusoe on his desert island. One of these
"viper shells," brought from California
lately, was so thoroughly sunbaked and
hardened that though more than two feet
long it conld be dropped on the floor with
out breaking.
LONGEVITY AND BEEB.
What Statistics Taken In Munich Establish
in Regard to Health.
The annual beer product of the world is
about 17,700,000,000 quarts. The, amount of
beer for each person in the beer-drinking
countries of the world is between 42 and 43
quarts annually. In Germany, however,
the allowance to every man, woman and
child in the empire is more than twice that
quantity. In Bavaria the allowance is 219
quarts, in Munich 65 quarts. After de
ducting from the city's population the
children nnder the beer-drinking age, and
the majority of the women, the result is
that the allowance of every man is about
quarts a day.
This astounding condition of affairs has
led medical men in Germany to investigate
almost constantly in recent years the eflects
of exceessive beer-drinking on the health.
The men and women who keep beer places
in Munich, as the heaviest beer consumers
in the world, were the subjects of such a
medical investigation last spring. The av
erage lifetime of persons in Munich who
pass the 20th year in good health is 53
years. The average lifetime is for
Proprietors of beer saloons . 5L33
Proprietresses of beer saloons 61.95
Brewers 153
The significance of these figures can be
better understood in view of the fact that,
in Munich, men who keep wine rooms live
but 49 years, and women who keep wine
rooms but 47.
TAXING OUT WHALEBONE.
The Big Blades Are Cut Loose From the
Gums With Dull Spades.
Boston Herald.J
The greatest weight of whalebone ever
taken from one whale was 4,400 pounds.
The whale was taken by the bark Antelope,
Captain George Taber, in 1863, and the bone
was a wonder. "Whales are generally said
to yield eight to ten pounds of bone for
every barrel of oil, but there is no certainty
in this calculation. The whale token by
Captain Taber only yielded 140 barrels, for
he was very lean and sick.
The whalebone blades are taken out by
cutting through the gum around the root
with whalemen's spades. Dull ones are
used preferably, in order not to cut or
scratch the face of the plate. The gum is
white, though tough, and cuts like curd.
By cutting down from six to eight inches
the plate can be torn from the gristle, or
vacular formation, which holds it, entering
the end of the plate as a thin strip for a few
inches.
A MOLE IN CAPTIVITY.
It Lived for Three Days on Oatmeal In the
Thumb of a Mitten.
Chambers' Journal.1
An lady naturalist contradicts the gen
eral opinion that moles are entirely carniv
orous, are exceeding rapacious and will die
if left longer than eight or ten hours with
out food. She shut a mole up in a well-
ventilated box,and offered it vegetable food,(
fasting, it was induced to eat bread and
milk. Coarse oatmeal soaked well in milk,
but uncooked, it ate ravenously.
When released the animal tore at the
carpet and upholstery of the room in the
hope of finding something into which it
could burrow, eventually taking possession
of a woollen mitten which was thrown to it,
and into the thumb of which it thrust its
head. It lived in this way for three days,
coming out of the mitten occasionally to
feed on its oatmeal.
HUNTING IN AUSTEALIA.
Sportsmen Run a Risk of Being Eaten Up by
Flies and Ants.
One of the great drawbacks to hunting life
in Australia, says Pugitis and Slavin, in a
recent newspaper article, are the flies.
You have to wear a veil or you will be
eaten up with the nasty insects. They are
like the ordinary house fly, though there is
one poisonous variety which raises a bad
swelling.
The ants, which are quite as numerous,
arc just as bad; when they find no one to
sting they indulge in regular "set-tos"
among themselves, fighting with great des
peration, like game cocks.
Accidents From Horses
A "Warsaw engineer has invented a new
harness by which the danger of shying
horses is averted. It is so arranged that by
Sulling a string which is attached to the
river s seat the horses are at once un
hitched and the vehicle is brought to a
standstill.

CAUGHT HM ASLEEP.
John Brockenbaugh Found flapping
in a Depot "Waiting Eoom.
SKIPPED OFF TO STEUBENYILLE,
After Shooting Mrs. Harris and Her Son
Daniel, at Oakdale.
THE YOUXG MAN IS LYING VERY I0W
John Brockenbaugh, who has two victims
lying in the West Penn Hospital, was cap
tured in a rather remarkable manner at
Steubenville yesterday afternoon. Brock
enbaugh is a colored miner, living near Oak
dale, on the Panhandle Railroad. Near him
lives a family named Harris, also colored.
Brockenbaugh had suspicions of intimacy
between his wife and one of the Harris boys,
Dan. Wednesday night he concluded to
settle the trouble by shooting the latter, so
he went to the Harris home and called Dan
out.
As the man appeared at the door
Brockenbaugh told him ho intended
killing him, and pulled a re
volver. Harris' mother, hearing the words,
ran out and threw herself in front of her
son, receiving the bullet intended for him.
The woman fell, and several more shots
were fired, lodging in Dan Harris' body.
Traced at Once to Steubenville.
Brockenbaugh then made his escape, but
was followed by William Harris, brother of
the injured man. William learned Brocken
baugh had taken a train for Steubenville,
and immediately telegraphed the police
authorities there to arrest him.
Yesterday morning ho received a reply
that a man answering the description given
had been arrested. William took the first
train for Steubenville, and went directly to
headquarters. He was shown the captive
and found it was not Brockenbaugh. The
man was released and Harris started for tho
depot to take a train for home. On arriving
at the railway station he happened to look
into the waiting room and was astonished
to see Brockenbaugh sitting there on a
bench, asleep.
Gone After the Runaway.
.The police were promptly notified, Brock
enbaugh was locked up and Harris came
back to Pittsburg and made Information
against the fugitive before Alderman Mc
Kenna for felonious shooting. A warrant
was issued, ind last night Detective Demmel
went to Steubenville to bring the man
back.
Mrs. Harris and young Dan Harris were
brought to the West Penn Hospital yester
day. The woman's injury is slight, the
bullet having taken effect in her right thigh.
The bullets that struck the young fellow
took effect one in his back above the kid
neys, another in the hip, and the third in
the right thigh. The wound in the back is
the only serious one, and the hospital au
thorities said late last night his condition
was critical.
