"Brilliant Commencement Exercises
Held Last Evening on Both
Sides of the Allegheny.
A EIGHT OP SCHOLASTIC EVENTS.
Teachers and Pupils of the Twin Cities,
Preparing to Enjoy Their Well
Earned Vacation.
UTILE PEOPLE TAlKLE BIG SUBJECTS.
"Weight. Questions of State Settled Easily By Girls
and Bore.
The school terms are pretty generally
closed. In some institutions examinations
are still in progress, but after this week
pnpUs will be at liberty to sniff the scent of
June ro;-es without the nightmare of lessons
to con or irascible teachers to make afraid.
In consequence, the young folks are as
liappy as pigs in clover, and may sunburn
themselves with impunity for whole months,
and lay in a stock of vitality for the next ten
month;,' ordeal. The girls will be at liberty
to organize lawn fetes, and the boys to dis
cuss baseball, football, tennis, cricket, etc.
"one of these games have gotten
an overmastering hold in this city,
except baseball, and Superintendent
Luckcy thanks his stars that it is the only
Infliction that interferes with school routino
to a serious extent. Being inclined to
obesity and scantness of breath,- Mr. Luckoy
lia probably less incitement toward ath
letic caiucs than somo lean people. He,
liov ever, does not carry his antagonism to
the point of quarreling with lovers of ath
letic cxcrci-.es.
A Harvest of Commencements.
For some time to come the commence
ment", will occupy the attention of gradu
ating classes ho will feel that throbbing of
the heart they ne'er will feel again, not
often, at least, after thoy begin the real
battle of life and find that apples of Sodom
thickly strew the pathway of that life that
i real and earnest, and though the grave
may not be its goal, in their estimation, yet
its di-appointnients are only overcome by
here and there a traveler.
The teachers will enjoy their vacation
variously and some unusually conscientious
ones vicariously. Some will go to summer
resorts and ome will stay at borne from
choice and others from necessity. Some are
languishing on beds of pain while others are
strictly in the swim and w ill have all the
pleasure their means allow.
The completion of the ncople's colleges
will not be greatly changed at the autumnal
equinox. The Second vard school, the Old
South, lot-cs two teachers, Misses Coles and
Halcv, and their places will be filled by
Jlisses Jones and W llson. Miss Lindsev, of
the Grant school, is tossing on a sick bed.
Principal Johnston, of the Eleventh ward,
lias resumed and gone to the Seventh ward.
.Allegheny. His place will bo tilled by Miss
Mackrell. Miss Irwins' place ifl be taken
bvMiss Rambo.
'Mr. Kiddle, principal of the Thirteenth
ward school, retires. His successor has not
l)ecn chosen.
One Kadical Change or Discipline.
In the Fourteenth ward Miss Hively has
resigned to take charge of the education of a
husband, and her place has not been filled.
The Fifteenth ward loses Miss Funden
urg, who goes to the High School as a
teacher of history, andMiss Hettie Fox, of
"o. 1, is transferred to Howard school. Six
teenth ward.
In the Twenty-second ward Principal Mc
Cabe retires and his place will be taken by
Mr. Ell wood. Miss Nelson also retires.
In the Twenty-third ward Miss Martin re
tires. On the Southside. with the exception of
the Bedford and Allen districts, the school
boards have not held elections.
The result of the examinations shows 553
applicants for admission to the High School.
It is sale to say that some of them will fall by
the wayside, but Superintendent X.uckey
seemed to think that a considerable portion
of the aspirants will make the riffle.
There will be a multitude of picnics dur
ing the vacation, and among those who go
to see that the youngsters are not bitten by
toads or snakes there will be eyes that look
love to eyes that speak again, as Byron
might say. The High School will picnic at
Idlen ildnear Latrobe, on Friday.
The Central Board of Education has not
fixed the time for the fall session of the
.schools to commence, but the date is ex
pected to bo August 31, which will beat the
"kids" out of a day or two -of lun, but that .
day falls on Monday.
CURRY'S COMMENCEMENT.
Xnjoyable Graduation Exercises at the
Grand Opera House A Very Xarge
Audience Present and tho Enormous
Class Acquits Itself Most Creditably.
Local talent, consisting of representative
members of the Curry University gradu
ating class, drew an audience at the rand.
Opera House last evening unequalled before
during the season in numbers and elegance.
Shortly after 7 o'clock the theater began to
lill, and so rapidly did the people arrive
that by 8 o'clock the main body of the audi
torium, tho boxes and the balconies were
packed to their utmost limit, and those who
came afterward found standing room, in the
aisles and corridors.
Tho curtain rolling up was the signal for
enthusiastic and prolonged applause, for in
a simultated forest of cool shady trees, with
electric lights so arranged that brilliant sun
fehine seemed tosiinmerandtremple through
the leaves, were seated the 162 graduates the
young ladies arrayed in bewitching creations
ot white and feather fans and the young
gentlemen equally elegant in their attire.
The faculty 01 the University with the
trustees and prominent clergymen occuniod
chairs to the front and lett of the stage.
When the applause had simply become an
echo, President J. Clark Williams requested
Chaplan McGuireto, open the programme
with prayer.
The "Merry Wives of Windsor," a piano
duct-overture rendered by Misses Emma
Woellel and Hattie Nichol was a happy and
pleasing beginning of the exercises, and
that the performance was creditable could
be teen by the smile on Prof. Bissel's face,
who instructs the piano pupils.
A Brilliant Young Salntatorian.
Mr. Walter Otto Amsler next came for
ward and enlisted the sympathy of his lis
teners at once in the "Trend of Nations"
from his standpoint. Mr. Amsler was the
Kilutatorian of tho class, and is a young gen
tlemau of clear, concise and bright ideas.
He was remarkably clever in his address, so
pronouncedly so that inquiries made con
cerning him developed the fact that but
three j cars ago he was in knickerbockers,
and is now but 15 years of age.
The Crown in the Heart" was the Bubjee
selected by Miss Anna Ernestein Kunm
upon which to i cave some of the prettiest
thoughts in polished language regarding
contentment. Miss Emma Griffiths personi
fied "Heart's Delight" by singing a song
with that title. The young lady appeared in
good voice and n ravishihgly pretty gown
that displayed a pretty neck and arms.
Bouquets almost as large as herself were
presented Miss Griffith.
mr. jucnu.ru o. uuuiuuu represented tne
business college and appropriately talked
upon "Business Ethics." Mr. Hoffman was
masterly in his address, and said, among
many itty and pungent things: "It is not
whether the country is large enough to hold
the nations, or whether there is enough soi
to grow cereals, but havo we honesty and
integrity enough to control the business of
nations?"
Msss Theodora 'Marshall, the young lady
rom Kansas, recited in her own inimitable
manner "The Boat Race," and received a
storm of applause. "The Interpreters" gave
a m idc range lor the pen of. Miss Ella Moore
Brown, and many prominent in law, science
and literature were paid pretty tributes by
the speaker.
Misses Tlllie Mackintosh and Bertha
Moore, in a vocal duet, "I Pescatori," were
introduced to tho audienco, and the ac
quaintance was continued further by Miss
Mackintosh in "The Mariner Mother's
Prayer," with violin obligato by Miss Eath
erine Ball, and flute obligato by Mr. Thomas
B. Attcrbury, Jr.
Miss Catherine Alicia Carney with
"Thoughts in tho Shadows" evolved a very
pretty and forcible argument, reinforced by
illustrations, to prove that thoughts in
spired by sickness, death, sorrow or trouble
01 any kind were the most worthy a place
in tho literature of the country.
Hearty Cheers for James G. Blaine.
"The Diplomatic rcn" was exactly tho
subject for Mr. John B. Etchenauer, who
traced tho history of the diplomatic relations
between countries from its inception down
to the present time, and concluded with an
eulogy to James G. Blaine, that demons
trated the politics of the young man, and
was greeted with a burst appUnse that fairly
shook the rafters of the building. Mr. Eich
cnauer was twice recalled to acknowledge
tho appreciation of the audience.
"Quality, not Quantity," was tbe theme
Miss Mary E. Edwards dilated upon until
quantity was glad to retire from the superior
claims of quality. Miss Sadie Emyle Wolfe
accomplished wonders with "Sunbeam
Sketches," and succeeded ln"brightening up
tho entire house. Grand concert fantasia,
"II Trovatore," a pianouet by Miss Hattie
Adams and Jennie Clary, was received with
great satisfaction, and "The Minuet" by
pretty little Ida Milligan must needs to be
repeated, so nleasing it was.
The Spirit of tho Age" was not a disagree
able one a9 outlined by Miss Gertrude E.
Gibboney, and no one need to be afraid of it,
though it will bear watching on extrava
gance and such things, but in all it is a pretty
good spirit.
Miss Carrie Terrant with a vocal solo,
"L'EstasV'preccded the valedictory nddress.
and reflected much credit upon hersolf and
her teacher. Miss Cora A. Harris delivered
tho valedictory; and proved herself equal to
the emergency.

President Williams who, in all probability,
will retire from his position before another
graduation to the following young gentle
men and ladies: '

WITNESSED BY HUNDREDS.
The Allegheny High School Graduates Bid
Farewell to School Days Everything
Passed Off Smoothly They Present a
Charming Programme at Carnegie
HalL
The commencement exercises of the Alle
gheny High School were held last night in
Carnegie Music Hall, and an audience of
1,500 people applauded the efforts of the
graduates. The platform was decorated
with palms. In front was a row of pretty
girl graduates, and behind were rows on
rows ot handsome boys. An overture by
City Organist Wales opened the affair and
its course ran smoothly, despite the rumors
that there was to be a disturbance. Princi
pal Dodds conducted the exercises. Kev.
James T. Satchell made the opening prayer.
"Municipal lteform" was the subject of
the salutatory ofChailes Francis Sarver.
He spoke of city government, with its
rings, corruption, enrichment of favorites
through granting valuable franchises and
awarding fat contracts, corrupt politicians,
etc., to the great glee 01 many of his hearers
who had a city politician for a near neigh
bor in the audience. Election frauds were
touched on and the statement made that free
local government has been abolished and
the rule of the ring prevails.
An essay on "Memories of Greece," by Miss
Bessie Buchanan Crowley, rollowed. All
the benefits derived from and knowledge of
tbe arts, literature, oratory and all that is
beuutiful were credited to tho Greeks by the
essayist in her paper.
"The Empiro of Mind" was the subject of
an oration bv John Fleming Eggers, who
came next. Tho ingenuity of the human
lnina in adapting to use water, steam, fire,
air, etc., for human conveniences were
dwelled on at length.
The Four Classes of Society.
After an overture by the orchestra Miss
Ellen Pauline Strasburger delivered an
essay on "An Intellectual Aristocracy." She
treated the division of society into classes,
and rated them into genealogical, wealthy,
political and intellectual. After giviug her
opinion of each and reciting their character
istics, she placed the intellectual above
them all.
"Labor" was the subject of an oration by
Benjamin Dangerfield. The conditions ex
isting between capital and labor in America,
England, Germany, France and Italy wero
given at length.
A debate came next. It was on whether or
whether or not Bussia's treatment of her
Siberian exiles demanded the interference
of tho civilized world. The affirmative was'
taken by Frank: Edward Diem. He recited
the cruelty, hardship and injustice that tho
exiles were exposed to by the crimes of tho
Kussian Government against its subjects,
and maintained that the inalienable laws of
human right demanded fair trials and hu
man treatment, and justified the interfer
ence or other nations.
Tho negative was taken by David Leslie
Patterson. He called attention to the fact
that the exiles were criminals, murderers,
Xihilists, assassins, Anarchists, etc., and the
sentiment in their favor was foolish. Jus
tice and the principles of international law
prevented interference.
A Very Touching Valedictory.
The valedictory address was made by
Miss Agnes Jarboe, who bade a touching
farewell to faculty, school controllers and
classmates.
The presentation of diplomas was made
by Principal Dodds with appropriate re
marks to the class of 1S91, and the benedic
tion by the Bev. Dr. Woodburn closed the
exercises.

posed of the following:

Holy Ghost College Graduates Deliver
Latin, English and German Orations A
Sensible Address by Bishop Phelan to
the Xoung Men.
The Holy Ghost College held Its thirteenth
annual commencement last evening. The
many relatives and friends of the bright
young men of the school had a long climb of
it up to the spacious hall at the top of the
magnificent edifice; but when once there
all their efforts were rewarded by hearing a
programme of rare excellence as
well as learning. There were ad
dresses in English, Latin and German
and while the last two languages named
"were all Greek" to many, yet the splendid
delivery and expressive manners of the
speakers evoked the closest attention to
heir, utterances. The College Orchestra,
which furnished the instrumental music is
really a most wonderfully well drilled
amateuroiganization. Its admirable work
last evening augmented the Splendid repu
tation it mado lor itself at the time of the
performance of tho Greek play by the
students in tho same hall some weeks ago.
Tho vocal numbers were all of superior ex
cellence, and elicited tumultuous applause.
The address at the conclusion by Bt. Rev. R.
Phelan, D. D., Bishop of-Pittsburg, was one
01 sounu common sense, aavico anapracu
cal suggestions to the graduates, whom ho

CHARGES OF INCONSISTENCY.
CltyTreasnrer Denniston Strongly Objects
To tlie Action of Governor Pattison in
the TVest Pcnn Hospital Matter Re
sents tho Charge of Mismanagement.
All those connected with the West Penn
Hospital are still considerably put out about
Governor Pattison's veto of the bill allow
ing the institution $32,000 to make up a def
icit. City Treasurer Denniston, who is sec
retary of the executive committee of the
hospital, Is very indignant. In speaking of
it yesterday ho said:
"Governor Pattison has not only acted in
consistently in refusing the money, but has
taken occasion to accuse us of reckless mis
management, an imputation which all thoso
connected with the hospital resent. We
give much of our own personal attention, as
well as our mono, to the institution in
the endeavor to have it conducted
as such an institution should be and are re
warded by being publicly .denounced as in
capable of doing things in a businesslike
wny, of following improper courses, for
which the Commonwealth, through its ex
ecutive head, must chastise us as it we were
a lot of rascals using tho hospital forpri
vato gain. Two years ago the hospital re
ceived an appropriation of $25,000 per year
for charitable cases. This sum was found to
be Inadequate, but instead of turning away
cores of sufferers they were taken in and
cared for. This made a deficit of $10,000 each
j'ear, or $32,000 altogether. )
"There are two features of the case that
show the Governor's inconsistency. He
agrees to grant the hospital $45,000 per 'year,
ti.,nnrf nf MI (VIA Fn. nlin nfnlla ,,,cna 4n
the future, while he declines to allow the
payment of the deficit caused by the same
thing during the two years just passed. If
me money is neuessary uuc uuie, iiutv viil
he argue it is not necessary at an
other, when tho conditions are the same.
In tho second place he says he has en
deavored to follow the State Board of
Charities in granting money. It the case of
the West Penn Hospital the State Board not
only recommen led tho $32,000 in question,
but $50,000 in addition for the payment of an
old debt, which latter sum was taken out
before the bill went to the Governor. The
board nnanimouslv found the hospital
worthy of $170,000. The Governor refused to
grant tho $122,000 asked for."
GOT ALL IT WANTED.
The P., A. & M. Traction Company Holds
AH the Routes to "Woods' Rnn It Is
Granted an Extension of Time and
Everything Else in Sight.
Allegheny Common Councils met last night
and tho Pittsburg, Allegheny and Man
chester Traction Company got everything
that it wanted. The only man who saw that
this road was capturing all tho routes to
Woods' Run below the Ft. Wayne road was
Mr. Eshelman, but he could not induce his
colleagues to see the point. Mr. Rippey bub
bled over a few times but subsided when
Mr. Knox introduced a resolution to bring
Mr. Rippey before the Mayor and make him
prove that Councllmen had accepted bribes.
The resolution wns adopted unanimously.
When tho body was called to order it
looked so quiet that the Chairman did not
think it necessary to call the gentlemen to
deposit their pistols with the clerk. The
suspected quiet attitude showed itself with
tne ordinance grunting tue 1 ., a. & ai. an
extension of time until October 1. It was
passed almost unanimously and without
debate. Next came tho resolution granting
tho Union line permission to use the tracks
of the Manchester line from Washington
avenue to Beaver avenue, and thence by
ay of Island to Preble avenue. Mr. Eshel
man offered an amendment that in consider
ation the Union line relinquish their rights
on the foUowing named streets: Beaver and
Washington avenues. Market street and
Stanton avenue, thence along private prop
erty abutting Preble avenue and thence to
Island avenue.
Following this.n lull majority of Common
Council got up and declared themselves op
posed to tho amendment. Mr. Knox held
that if this route were cut off, access to
Woods' Bun might be cut off at any time, be
cause part of the route now in use was on
private property, the owner of which could
at any time stop the line. A. M. Nceper,
Secretary of tho company, made practically
tho same statement.
All amendments were lost, however,
and the ordinance as originally, pre
sented was passed. After this camo
the ordinance granting the contract
to Thomas Carlin's Sons for the castings

resolution directing tho Pleasant Valley
Company to remove its tracks on the north

Three Men Arrested foi Attempting
to Work a Krmd.
VICTIMS PUT WW MANY TIMES
"With Promises That Transportation Would
Be Furnished Soon. '
SUICIDE OP A MAN WHO FEABED AEREST
J. H. Hanson, H. Clark and G. M. Watt, of
the firm of J. H. Hanson & Co., of No. 96
Fourth avenue, were arrested yesterday on
the charge of operating a bogus land agency.
During the past few days Assistant Superin
tendent O'Mara and Detective Shore havo
received numerous letters from parties com
plaining about the operations of this firm.
Thoso led to an investigation which
convincod the police that the
men in question were working a
crooked scheme. As a result Assistant
Superintendent O'MaraandDetectives Shoro
and Demmel went down to the office yestor
day afternoon and arrested the men. They
havo only been in tho city a short time and
had scarcely got their office furnished when
the police put a stop to their operations.
The plan is one of the neatestoues tried in
Pittsburg for some time. The plan was to
offer tracts of timber land in the State of
Washington. The applicant paid a small
sum of money. Title was promised the ap.
plicant within 60 days after the agreement
was made.'
9
Plenty of Brilliant Promises.
The company promised transportation
free to the property, and at- the end of 60
days guaranteed a purchaser for the timber
on the land at a price of not less than $8 per
acre. Twenty-nino dollars purchased ISO
acres of ground, and larger or smaller sums
in proportion.
Since the firm located in Pittsburg 13 per
sons are known to have been induced to
enter the scheme with their money,
and many other's have been caught
whoso names are not known. After
having turned over their money they were
promised their transportation and papers in
two or three days. On applying then they

The concern was known as the "Washing
ton Colonization and Investment Company,
incorporated at Seattle, Wash., April, 21,
1891." The following is a copy of one of tho
peculiar contracts made with a number of
persons in this vicinity by these people,
which will explain partially the nature of
their business. The contract was printed
in green and gold letters above a big official
looking gold seal in one corner. The docu
ment was worded thus:

arc to locate him upon 160 acres of timber land
within 60 days from date, on tbe following condi
tions: We are to pay all expenses, and as soon as Mr.

pany, and that if he does he-will forfeit all right to

,J. H. Hanson & Co., Agents.
From tho evidence shown by the books it
nppears that the agents have been willing
to take anything they could .get from per
sons with whom they did business. The po
lice expect to hear from a large number bf
othef persons who have paid money lrtto
this concern to-day. The agents absolutely
refused to talk, except to say that they in
tended to make good every contract they
had entered into.
The polioe have not finished investigating
the case, but expect to do so to-day. Until
they have further looked into it they have
not much to say.
PREFERRED DEATH TO ARREST.
Duncan SIcKlnney Throws Himself From a
Hotel "Window Because He Imagines a
Constable Is After Him Joseph Gos
churofsky Takes Rough on Rats.
Duncan McKlnney, aged 42 years, of Wil
low Grove station, Jumped from a window
of the Union Hotel at Etna early yesterday
morning and was killed. Investigation
proved that he did so from fear of arrest.
The Coroner held an inquest in
the case yesterday aftornoon. De
velopments show that on Monday night
McKinney called at the house of Mrs.
Rebecca Ward, at Glenshaw, a few miles
above Etna, and asked for; her sons, for
merly residents of Willow Grove. On learn
ing that they were not 'at home McKlnnoy
started for Pittsburg, but missing the train
walked to Etna, reaching the Union Hotel
about 10:30 o'clock. He talked with II. C.
Dunham in the hotel barroomand said ho
was feeling worried and tired. He said his
sister died "' seven weeks ago, leaving a
daughter of 18 and a son of H. The daughter
he had taken from a Lawrenceville speak
easy a few days ago and gave her a whip
ping. For this, he said, she had sued him and
Constable Foster was after him to arrest
him. He had left his home to avoid arrest.
A few moments after 11 o'clock McKlnnoy
drank a glass of beer and asked for a bed
room. .Notning lurtner was Heard from
him until about S o'clock yesterday morning
when Christ Graham, on his way to work,
found the dead body, cold and stiff, lying
iace aown on 1110 street uirectiy Deneatn tne
window. Dr. Kroesen examined the body
and found that both wrists and one leg were
broken, there were internal injuries and tho
head had been injured, death resulting im
mediately. The Coroner learned that Con
stable Foster, of Mansfield, had a warrant
lor McKinney's arrest on a charge of assault
and battery, brought before Justice of the
Peace McMlllin by the niece of McKinney's,
as he had stated.
From.the evidonce of all the witnesses and
otherevidencegathered.it is believed Mc
Kinney, having a dread of arrest and tho
law, had left his home to avoid it. In this
condition, and brooding ovor tho matter, ho
retired, nnd, a few minutes later, hearlngtho
proprietor and son coming upstairs to go to
bed, Imagined it was a constable and Jumped
out of the window. The J ury found a verdict
accordingly.
Joseph Guschurofsky, a German laborer,
aged 40 years, attempted suicide about 6
o'clock last evening at his home on the hill
above Twenty-ninth street, with a large dose
of "rough on rats." He mixed the dose in a
cup of coffee. Immediately after drinking
the mixture he commenced to suffer, and
was taken to tho West Penn Hospital. At a
late hour last night he was not expected to
live. Domestic troubles were tho cause.
COLLIDED WITH THE STATUTES.

I SOME DEMOCRATS PLEASED.
' T. J. O'Leary Sounds Pattison's Pralse-rEd
Smiley Defends the Legislature Against
the Charge or Drunkenness He Calls
Down Representative Jones.
"That's all right," remarked T. J. O'Loary
yesterdajwith a broad grin, when asked
what he thought of Pattison's indorsement
for President by the Clarion county Demo
crats. Mr. O'Leary, however, is a strong ad
herent of the Governor, and he would be an
ingrate not to be, for he got everything ho
asked for. "Pattison may be knocking out
bills at a lively rate," he continued, -"but ho
is honest. Ho is not using the veto power,
either, to gain popularity, but he gives good
reasons for all his actions. Why not make
Pattison President? He is able and a flrst
classman." Ed Smiley, Chief Clerk of the Senate,
claims some of the Governor's vetos are in
consistent. In killing an appropriation for
n Reading hospital he said he had estab
lished the rule that no such bills would be
signed unless they wore approved by tho
Stato Board of Charities. Ho turned around
and signed a bill for a hospital at Oil City
which had not been sanctioned by tho
board. "Of course, we are not kicking,"
said Mr. Smiley, "but it shows the Governor
either forgets his rule or applies it when he
feels llko Ft."
Representative Jones, in his Homestead
speech, attacked the Legislature as a
drunken set and Dound hand and foot to the
corporations. Mr. Smiley resented this ar
raignment, and said: "The last "Teirislntnro
was the most sober in my experience nfr
Harrisburg. Outside of Russ Hotel there
is no other drinking bout of any account In
the city. I frequently went in there last
winter, and seldom saw a crowd of members
sitting nt the tables as in old times. The
boys were at work. Most of the
drinking was done bv the out
siders who camo to Harrisburg and
not by the legislators. The trouble with
Jones is that ho talked too much. I will
wager that he took up $10,000 worth of the
State's time with his long, unnecessary
speeches. Ho is one of the men who is always
harping about the poor workingmen. Why,
tho anthracite, store order and compulsory
educational bills were passed in their In
terest. Nobody ever gets all he wants at
Harrisburg, and It is impossible to hold 200
men in lineand have them do a great amount
of work."
Colonel Thomas M. Bayne came up from
"Washington yesterday and registered at tho
Schlosser. He will sail in a short timo on
his trip around the world. The Colonel said
lie was devoting his time to farming, and he
declined to talk politics. He commended
Harrison's administration.
Ex-Sheriff McCandless received a telegram
yesterday stating that the Pennsylvania
Club in Philadelphia had indorsed Dalzell,
and would send delegates for him to the con
vention. Rev. Dr. Derrick, a prominent colored
minister and politician in New York, wae on
the limited last evening going to Chicago to
attend a convention of the Episcopal
Church about sending missionaires to Haiti.
He says there are 24,000 colored voters in
New York State and they are Republican.
Ho thinks Harrison will be renominated and
elected. During campaigns the preacher
hangs around headquarters at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, and he generally gets what
he wants. He wields a wonderful influence
with colored voters in the city.
ETOHING ALONG F0SEVEB.
Mighty Tedious "Work in the Baden Natural
Gas Company Hearing.
The contention between the Baden Nat
ural Gas Company and its creditors will
have entered its fourth year by the time of
the next meeting on the first Tuesday of
September. Some of the lawyers, such as
Knox and Dickey, are still quite young men,
but the Master, M. A. Woodward, though in
the prime of manhood, expects to leave the
case as a legacy to his grandchildren. There
was another hearing yesterday, and John
W.Chalfant, of Spang, ChalfantA Co., was
examined. The substance of his testimony
was that his firm was a creditor of the com
pany, but he was not able to tell whethor or
no tne capital stock of the Baden Gas Com
pany was paid or whether it was founded on
credit.
After Mr. Knox got through with Mr.
Chalfant, Mr. Raymond took him in hand,
but the witness hadsbothiswadand nothing
further was elicited. Mr. Dickey said he had
no cross-examination to make.
Mr. Woodward, the Master, favorably en
tertained a proposition to expedite pro
ceedings by having a stenographer take the
romainder of the testimony, as Mr.
Woodward's "fist" is one that would
puzzle Horace Greeley's printers. By the
way, it looks as though writing will soon be
a lost art, certainly so far as lawyers are
concerned. It is probable that belore this
century ends education will be simplified to
the extent that pupils at school will
only be taught to write their names,
a precaution tnat seems necessary in
order that the autenticity of alleged acts
may be substantiated in the case of disputed
documents, such as the founders or tho
famous Band of Friendship case. After the
present generation passes away the
stenographer and typewriter will have the
field to themselves, and when nations "hang
the trumpet in the hall and study war no
more," tho art of writing will bo extinct,
along with the goose-qulll pen.

How a Nervous Groom Registered at the

A very nervous young man from Sewlckley
went into the Seventh Avenue Hotel last
evening and registered "man and wife."
"Oh, that won't do," said Mr. Perdi. "Wrlto
your full name. Just been married, I sup

do under such circumstances."
"Thank you," gasped the greatly relieved
groom. "Maria and I were buckled by the
preacher this afternoon, and I didn't know
what you wanted me to put down on thutbig

Mr. Jones is the genial Welshman who
hands out keys and answers questions at the

"All right," replied the clerk. "I will give

IKON SCALE CONFERENCE STILL ON
Tho visit of P. J. McGuhre, General Secre
tary of tho Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners yesterday had the effect of putting"
new life into tho strikers, and the struggle
gives promise of a contlnuation-with greater
vigor than has characterized it at any time
since May 1. Mr. McGuire spent all of tho
day and a good portion of last night confer
ri.ig with contractors and journeymen
nnd will leave the city this morn
ing again for his home. Ho held
two" fruitless conferences with mem
bers of tho Master Builders' Associa
tion nnd then attended tho meeting of tho
Carpenters' Council last night. At this meet
ing the General Secretary announced that
he had brought to Pittsburg money enough
to supply ine men lor two weeKS, ana at tue
end of that time additional aid to the extent
of the strikers' demands would bo forth
coming. With this assurance, tho carpenters
voted unanimously to stand out until the
present difficulty is settled.
A Proposition to Settle the Strike.
After the meeting adjourned Mr. McGuire,
in the presence of R. J. Davis, of the Strike
Committee, nnd William Martin, Superin
tendent of the industrial department of
the Carnegie Interests, gave out the follow
ing statement and open letter to T. J. Hamil
ton, for publication:
"I called at the Builders' Exchange to-day
at 2 o'clock, accompanied by It. J. Davis,
having arranged for a meeting with repre
sentatives of the Builders' Association
earlier in the day. The meeting was held in
the rooms of Architect Hodgson. Messrs.
Hamilton, Fulmer and Giland were
E resent. The confe'rence lasted over
our. I represented to them tho
serious injury this continned trouble is doing
both sides and thecommunity, and after a
friendly discussion I offered a few proposi
tions, at the instigation of various
business men in the city whom I had met.
I told them I would leave on tho 8 o'clock
train to-morrow and should they desire to
take action on any of the propositions to
send me word. Up to this time I havo not
heard from them. Hence I address this open
letter."
The Open Letter to the Builders.
Fittsbubg, Junes, 1891.
"T. J. Hamilton. Chairman Master Builders' Con
ference Committee.
'Dear Sir Thelprolongatlon of the present con
test between the Journeymen earpenters and em
ploying carpenters of Pittsburg and vicinity, is de
cidedly Injurious to the best Interests of tills com
munity. It not only retards building operations
and keeps thousands ont of employment, but It Is
hurtful to businessmen, storekeepers and countless
other interests, as a well as serious financial loss to
all Involved.
"Each day this dispute continues only adds to
to tbe intensity of spirit and bitterness of feeling
now existing and increases the unnecessary hostil
ity now appearing on both sides. The stubborness
so far dismayed by both emnlorers andiourney-
men should give way to a spirit of conciliation
and recognition of each others' respective
rights.
and to a consideration or the rti
consideration of the public's
conscience and to the nubllc's Interests. Innnenced
by this spirit, I waited on you. Mr. Hamilton, at
the Builders' Exchange yesterday, and in a fair,
honorable manner asked yon and your colleagues
among the employers to weigh fully the foregoing
reasons for seeking a fair adjustment of thepresent
trade dispute with the carpenters.
Two Propositions for Consideration.
"In good faith I now renew the two propositions
I made you this afternoon, and which were not ac
cepted by you or your colleagues, and in the event
that they are again rejected I will leave It to the
public to decide who Is responsible for the further
continuance of the present stagnation of business
in the building line. These propositions are:
'First I propose that the employing carpenters
select any one of their number to meet me or the
representative of the Journeymen carpenters, both
of us to be vested with full power to settle the
present dispute, and In the event that we cannot
reach an agreeable conclusion, that we call Judge
Collier or Judge Stowe or any other Judge of high
standing in this county to act as arbitrator.
"Second If the above nroDOsltlon is not agree
able, then 1 propose that inasmuch as the men
have a code
!01
working rules which the employers
decline to' accent, ani
nd the contractors alsohave a
code obnoxious to the men. that both sides throw
aside their respective rules and empower their con
ference committees to meet together and prepare a
new set of rules agreeable to each other's mutual
interests.
"These two propositions having been rejected to
day, I now again submit them foryour further con
sideration. An answer to this can be directed to
yours respectfully, "P. J. McGuire,
"Box 834. Philadelphia."
The Men Favorably Impressed.
The willingness which Mr. McGuire dis
played to arbitrate the matter in either of
the ways suggested by himself occasioned
much favorable comment among the men
last night, while the stand taken by the
other sido was pretty severely criticised.
Their position was explained, however,
bv their representatives. Mr. Ham
ilton wa3 "Been in the nfternoon
and he said: "We cannot afford
to waste time talking over the situation. A
great many of our contractors have all the
men they have work for and more are re
turning to work every day. We can win tho
fight without the aid of Mr. McGuiie or any
of the Judges and it would bo against our
own interests to go into an arbitration."
Tho Chairman of the Press Committee
stated: "We have this strike practically
won. By going into a conference or arbi
tration we would lose what wo havo gained.
Mr. McGuire is here. He promises the men
money. Ho takes good care not to name
any amount. They have been promised
monev before and thev did not iret it. The
men have Just reached the point where it
will take money, and plenty of It, to hold
them out."
Agents Swarts and Snyder were both seen
last night, but thev declined to talk saying
that their case was now in the hands 01 Mr.
McGuire. They claimed their Taen were
still firm and would remain so from this out.
Meetings Held by the Masters.
The Master Builders' Associate met yes
terday afternoon, but only routine business
wns transacted.
The master painters met last night and
discussed their now rules that are to bo
presented to the men. Joseph McCutcheon.
of Verona, who was at the meeting, said tho
rules might not bo presented to the men for
some days yet.
E. A. Holmes, foreman for A. & S. Wilson,
said yesterday that three additional men had
gone to work for them, making'a force of 11
men now 011 duty. Wilson & Moore, of tho
East End, were reported to have five new
men. Benz Bros, succeeded yesterday in
starting up and expect to have ten men at
work to-day. Mr. Holmes said that
nt least 100 men had gone back
to work since Monday morning. He
will bo tried oil Friday night in local Union
230. He said yesterday that the policy of
all the unions had been to fine all the men
who desert the ranks $100 and $5 a day for
every day they work, Dut none of the fines
are lJelng enforced.
"WILL NOT ADJ0TJBN TO-DAY.
The Business of the Amalgamated Associa
tion StUI Piling Up.
The Amalgamated Association will not
adjourn to-day as was expected it would do.
Tho extended conference with the manu
facturers and the long drawn out discussions
of tbe orators in tho convention have de
layed matters somewhat, and it is now
thought that it will be to-morrow evening
before an adjournment can be reached. The
committees have not yet all reported, and
much of tho business that has been reported
has not been disposed of.
The Conference Committee has not yet ar
rived at any definite agreement with the
manufacturers, but it is thought the confer
ence will end to-day. The nine hour clause
seems to be tho cause of a great deal of
trouble. The manufacturers have not yet
come to understand how the proposed plan
can bo worked without injuring them, and it
is very likely the clause will be somewhat
modified.
SECURED THEIR CHAETEB.
The United States Tin Plate Company Be
comes Incorporated.
Tho United States Tin Plate Company, at
Demmler, secured its charter yesterday, and
arrangements will at once be made for tho
manufacture of that article on a large scale.
It has been the intention of the concern for
somo tlmo to procure a charter of Incorpor
ation previous to July 1, when the new tariff
goes into effect.
The capital stock of the company is $500,
000, anfl the directors are H. H. Demmler. I

A Meeting of Directors.
Tho directors of the Blaine Land Improve
ment Company held a special meeting-at
ther;offlce on Fourth avenue, last night, for
tho purpose of voting on a proposed increase
of the capital stock. The business wasnotr

AN0THES TEST CASE.
A Marble Cutter Claims Damages for Being
Discharged.
William T. Campbell, yesterday, entered
suit against Charles F. Miller, R. J. Green
""'Pyt J. C. Carey and Alex McClelland, mem
bers of tho Granite Cutters' Union, for dam
ages. Campbell states that he is a granite
cutter. He Is not a member of tho Granite
Cutters' Union. He was employed in Samuel
Young's marble works, but on the 20th Inst,
the defendants quit their work and went to
Mr. Young and demanded Campbell's dis
charge. Thoy said that if ho would refuse to dis
charge Campbell they would quit and stop
his works. Campbell was discharged and fe
now deprived of a means of earning a living
for himself, his wife and child. Under the
rules of the association named he cannoteet
work here or elsewhere at his trade. The
reason for the action against him was that
ho was not n member of the union. Mr.
Young, he says, is willing to hire him, but
can't for fear nf Tmvlnir his works closed.
Damages are asked and a capias was issued
for the arrest of the defendants, the bail be
ing fixed at $300 each.
NO POLITICS IN IT.
The Stenbenville Labor Day to Bo One or
Rest and Amusement .
George E.Poth, Secretary of the General
Committee having charge of the labor dem
onstration in Steubenville on July 6, sent a
letter to The Dispatch yesterday denying
that politics were to be in any way connect
ed with the demonstration.
"Neither the Governors nor anyone else,"
said he, "are expected to discuss politics one
way or the other on the day of the demon
stration, which is to be one of recreation,
amusement and harmony, leading to closer
relations between members of different or
ganizations of the Ohio Valley and for the
better understanding of their duties as men
and as citizens, and especially to pay trib
ute to the memory ot that noble son of
America and honest friend of toil, Thomas
A. Armstrong; though his mortal remains

"Work on the Moon Rnn Railway Progest

Rome wasn't built in a day, and it is seldom
that a railroad is built in one season, but the
Moon Run Railway builders are put up that
way. The grading of the road will be
finished, says Contractor Moran, in 10 or 12
days, and the laying of the rails has almost
kept up with the grading. The primeval
solitudes of Moon run were awakened
vesterday morning by the scream of the

It is expected that coal will be hauled over

PEW AVENUE STORES.
You will find upon a little in
quiry that prices all through our
stocks of WASH GOODS are
lower than other stores are offer
ing. If they were no lower it
would profit you to come where
your range of choice is largest,
where you are certain to find more
than you care to look at in making
selections, and where you are cer
tain to find what will please you.
Largest stocks, lowest prices
every point towards you, the buyer.
Reasons why. you should come and
reasons why the counters are
crowded every hour in the day.
Salesmen for every 24 inches of
space put out goods daily by com
mon storefuls.
