SHE PZTTSBTJIIG DISPATCH SATURDAY, JUNE 27, - 1891.
far as I am concerned it will be fought in a
gentlemanly manner.
"On the steamer Congo there were
adopted and framed a set ol resolutions and
a testimonial, which a few days ago were
finished. I was appointed to present them
to this club, and consider it a very
pleasant duty, indeed. The prin
ciples of the Republican nartv are
typified by such clubs as this. lamina
position to draw comparisons from both
ends of the State, and I can truthfully say
that the League of Republican Clubs has
been of much good. It gives a new impetus
to secure success to the party. There is no
f.olicy formulated that is of such benefit to
lie partv as the idea of having good
local clubs. The idea of the protective
tariff is a first principle of the party. "We
never had a clear-cut idea of the tariff until
the campaign of 1888. I predict McKin
lcv's election as Governor of the State of
Ohio by a rousing majority. I have no faith
in the voter who goes to the polls once in
every four years, or once every year at
most. I am a practical politician and be
lieve that politics is the highest science a
man can study. I will tell you why the
party suffered such a sweeping de
feat last JTovember. It was because
the men who should have been at home
refuting the falsehoods of our enemy were
kept busy making tariff laws at "Washing
ton. Could those men have been among
their friends a short time before the elec
tion the result would have been very differ
ent. However, 3lx. Dalzell and I will be
Tery lonclv in the Fifty-second Congress,
and wc will not be kept at the Capitol to
form a quorum.
Advised to Work for 1803.
The tariff measure is a splendid one, and
when the people become familiar with its
operations, it will be more widely com
mended. I suggest to you to get to work
for 1892. The same issues will be before
the people, and the same standard-bearers
will be there. The hour and the
day are ripe for the annihila
tion of all the factional feeling and
party distentions. "We must combine
against this common cnemv. President
Harrison indorses the work of the League."
Clarence Burleigh, in a short speech full
of wit, accepted the gift on behalf of the
club. This pleasant duty had been assigned
to Mr. Dalzell, but he was not there. After
the speech-making a committee was selected
to place the gift on exhibition. It consists
of a large frame of the photographs of the
people who went on the excursion. After
adjournment social intercourse was resumed.
In the party from Philadelphia were
Theodore B. Stiilb, a City Commissioner;
Samuel Clement, J. A. Ennis, John Siner,
John Smith, James MacBrine, George L.
Pfouts and "William Griffith. Mr. Stulb
stated that the members of the party were
close adherents of Jack Robinson, and he
was sure to be elected to the presidency of
the State League. The isitors were taken
ior a drive to Schenlcy Park, where lunch
' was served, and to the Homewood driving
track. They were much pleased with their
reception by the club.
Mr. Robinson Extremely Confident.
In spcakinc of his chances at the Monon
gahela House, yesterday, John B. Robinson
paid: "The Eastern leaders are with rne.and
I will go into the convention with two dele
gates to Mr. Dalzell's one. I announced
myself as a candidate a year ago. I under
stand the opposition is organizing mush
room club'. 1 am not in that business.
That kind of sewer politics will lower the
fctandintrof the league, and it won't be my
fault if it is done.
3Ir. Dalzell is a member of the Pennsyl
vania Club in Philadelphia and I expected
them to indorse him. It was not a surprise
to me. That is the only club in the Quaker
City he will have."
Mr. Robinson said he would take the
Ftuinp in the fall for McKinley. He
thought if Pattison were nominated for
President bv the Democrats he would carry
Pennsylvania. He thinks Harrison is the
most available Republican. He added that
the State Treasurer fight was between
Thompson and Morrison,with the old sol
diers solid for the latter. Colonel Bayne
figures that Morrison will have a walk-over.
Mr. Robinson is a warm advocate of a Con
stitutional Convention, and he.will indorse
any argument in its favor that can be ad
vanced. J. 1$. Laux, editor of the Greensburg
JVcm, w as in the city yesterday. Mr. Laux
used to be President of the Republican club
there. He said they lost the county last
fall, and the Republicans were keeping out
tif all fights for the sake of harmony. The
club will send delegates to the League Con--v
ention, but he thought they would be un
intructed. Mf. Laux thinks that Jack
Robinson will some day be Governor of the
State if he lives. He is a great admirer of
the Media man.

PATAL FALL OP A FAEMEE.
Henry Knopf Suddenly Sleets Death In His
Own Hay Mow.
Henry Knopf, a ti ell-to-do farmer and a
man highly esteemed by his neighbors, met
with a violent death, night before last, at
his residence on Montour ruu, half a mile
above Ewing's mill. Mr. Knopf climed to
the mow above the floor in his barn, to ad
just a hay carrier, and either missed his
footing or lost his hold in some way, and
fell on his head to the floor, a distance of
some 11 feet. Mr. Knopf was about 45
years of age, and his aged mother lived with
him. She had gone to the barn to take him
a drink of water, and arrived just in time to
tee him fall The-shoek overcame her and she
fainted and lay unconscious so long that
another woman of the household went to
see what had become of her.
"When the old lady revived she told the
ttory. A Coraonohs doctor was sent for as
Knopf was still breathing, but the doctor
said recoverv was impossible, and death
came at 3 o'clock yesterday morning.
GONE UP IK SMOKE.
A Hot "Waffle Man's "Wagon Brings Out the
Allegheny Eire Department.
At 10:50 o'clock last night an alarm of fire
was turned in from box 91, Sandusky and
Eric streets, Allegheny. "When the firemen
armed they were surprised to see a vehicle
of some sort in flames in the middle of San
dusky street. A stream was turned on it and
the fire put out in short order, when it was
learned that it was a hot waffle wagon, and
had been stored in Ritchie's boarding
ttables, ISO Sandusky street.
R. P. Davis, who lives nearby, observed
the flames, and rushing in, pulled the blaz
ing wagon into the street, in all probability
saving the building. The waffle man had
evidently been plying his trade among the
t-chool children, and returned the wazon to
the stable with some hot coals in the furnace. I
The loss will be about S2o.
BEADING A NEW PLAT.
A Pittsburger Furnishes Carl Gardner "With
His Next Season's Drama.
A pleasant event of yesterday was the in
itial reading of the new play, "Captain
Karl," in which Charles Gardner will star
next season. Sidney R. Ellis, of this city,
who lias managed Mr. Gardner to a high
fame, is also the author of the new play.
The reading occurred at Dr. E. A. "Woods'
office, on Sixth street, to a little knot of
critics who united in declaring the play a
charming romance with a strong soupcon of
humor.
The company will open the season at the
Grand Opera House, Jsew York. Gnstave
Klein, author of "The Lilacs," is building
the music for the production.

BUD FORJOTTLERS,
.A Prominent "Wholesaler Tells How
Their Business Will Be Killed
Under the New law.
ON A LEYEL WITH THE BEEWEBS,
Who
Can Put Up and Dispose of
Same Amount of Beer With
Considerably Less Expense.
the
SDUXAE-EFFECTAIL OYER THE STATE.
Other Brandies Will Also Feel the Besults of the
New Eegulations.
The new liquor law recently passed by
the Legislature and signed bv Governor
Pattison, promises to have a killing effect
on at least one branch of the business. As
has been previously stated in the Dis
tatch the new law goes into effect at once,
with the exception of the increase required
in license fees. Judge "Wilson, of Phila
delphia, in a decision renercd Thursday,
confirmed this view of Oe matter, and the
several provisions of thact regulating the
sales of manufacturers, bottlers and whole
salers are in force at present The decision
above mentioned puts this beyond
all question, and the large portion of Pitts
burg liquor dealers are now complying with
its provisions. "While the majority of the
liquor men are not feeling very friendly
toward the new law the bottlers are especi
ally put out about it. .From present indi
cations they have ample reason to feel so,
for their business is very seriously crippled
and perhaps killed.
Knocking Out the Bottler.
The trade of the bottler, which he has
heretofore kept up to a good profit, can now
be practically taken out of his hands by the
brewer. Under the new law the brewer and
bottler are put on the same level
with regard to the sale of malt
or brewed liquors. Judge "Wilson, after
specifying the provisions of the new act re
lating to wholesale liquor dealers, says:
"Xor shall any brewer or bottler sell less
than 12 pint bottles of brewed or malt
liquors." This is regarded as practically
the death blow to the bottling trade.
Charles P. Mugele, of C. P. Mugele & Son,
well-known wholesale liquor dealers of
Fifth avenue, said last night:
"Under the new law the bottlers all over
the State are deprived of a large portion
of their, business. Previous to this
time they could make a good profit
at their business. The brewer could sell
nothing less than a gallon of beer, while
the bottler could sell any quantity down to
a quart. The amended law, which I under
stand takes effect at once, allows the brewer
not only to bottle' but to sell the same
amount as the bottler, the limit of the latter
having been raised to 12 pint bottles.
The Result Not Hard To See.
"It is easy to see what will be the result
of this," continued Mr. Mugele. "The ad
vantage of the bottler is lost and the brew
ers can practically take all their trade by
bottling their own goods. It will not pay
for a bottler to purchase beer from
a brewer, bottle and sell it, when
the man who makes it can do the same and
avoid all the cost of handling and transpor
tation. Tne bottler, in thus attempting to
keep even with the brewer, would lose
money instead of making it. To all appear
ances this regulation will put an end to
bottling as a distinctive branch of the busi
ness. The brewers can practically monopo
lize the bottlers' trade in beer, and there
will be little left for the latter."
Mr. Mugele has made a careful study of
the liquor laws of the State, and is confi
dent of what he says. As a re
sult, when next year's applications for
license are made there will be very few
bottlers amor.g them, except in cases where
the applicants are located long distances
from brewing establishments. Even'in these
cases the fact that they can sell nothing less
than 12 pints will malic the business ft much
less profitable one than it was under former
regulations.
In the Same Boat as Bottlers.
This has been already made manifest from
the fact that several wholesale liquor deal
ers have stopped selling beer. As fai as the
12-pint bottle arrangement is concerned,
they are in the same boat as the
bottlers. The privilege of selling beer by
the quart has been denied them by the new
law, and they will have little demandforit.
Those who want to purchase more than six
quarts of beer usually prefer getting it
direct from the manufacturer. Quite a
number of wholesalers have already noticed
such a falling off in their beer trade that
thc!y have decided to discontinue it.- Their
example will doubtless be followed by oth
ers, and before many weeks very few
wholesale places can be found where beer
or malt liquors of any kind can be bought

ARNOLD'S GROVE SELECTED,
Second Brigade Officers Finally Acres on
.the Place of Encampment t A Large
Number of Candidates for Commission
Examined Last Evening.
It was finally decided yesterday to hold
the Second Brigade encampment this year
at Arnold's Grove. GeneraL "Wiley
with many of the regimental officers
went out to the grove yesterday
afternoon in a special car on ftie Allegheny
Valley road. The party numbered about 60
and included the quartermasters. All the
difficulties in the war' were adjusted, and
the rent was fixed at An agreea
ble price. "When the officers re
turned they were entertained with a
dinner at the Duquesne given by. Major
Robert Patterson, of the Fourteenth Regi
ment It was a very enjoyable affair. Ad
jutant General McClelland, who happened
to be in the city, was present and made' a
speech. g ' .
In the evening the candidates for commis
sion in the regiments were examined by the
board at the Monongahela House General
"Wiley, who is President of the board, wag
present for the first time in several
years. Of the Regimental Colonels,
only Hawkins, of Washington, and
Kreps, of Mercer, were absent The board
was made up of General "Wiley, Captain
James A. Murdock, recorder, and' Colonels
Willis J. Hulings, Norman M. Smith, P,
D. Perchmcnt and Theo. Burchfield. This is
the first time the latter has been
present at an examination, though
he is cxpeoted always to be on hand.
There were 14 candidates from the Fifteenth
Regiment, four from the Sixteenth and two
from the Eighteenth. Colonel Hulings is
an old school teacher, and the boys are
usually a little more nervous when they
face him. He has a habit of asking puz
zling questions, and he seems to delight in
the flounderings of his victims.

EELS FOE BIGAMY.
George B. Owry Sent to Jail for Court Trial
for Having Two Wives.
A great crowd assembled at Alderman
Soffel's office yesterday afternoon expecting
a treat in the hearing in the bigamy case of
George B. Owry. A letter from his first
wife was.submitted in evidence, which was
very conclusive. The attorney for the de
fense tried to compromise by offering to pay
the costs, also claiming that Owry had ob
tained a divorce in Chicago, but the Alder
man would not listen to the proposition,
and Mrs. 2Toe, the prosecutrix, got angry
and charged the attorney with neglecting to
Eertorm certain work for which she said she
ad paid him and refusing to return the
money.
The attorney said if she would let the
suit drop he would pay her every cent she
claimed he owed her. In the meantime,
the Alderman made out the commitment of
the prisoner to jail in default of $1,000
bail for the September term of court
WHAT SOT EEVI8I0N MEANS
Is the Only Point to Be Settled In the
Mayor's Trouble.
It is not likely that Mayor Gourley will
take many steps toward discovering the
exact powers of his office until after the
Fourth of July celebration is off his mind.
But as he has stated frequently through The
Dispatch, he does not intend to allow his
case to drop with simply letter-writing.
Controller Morrow said yesterday: "The
Mayor certainly has supervision of the de
partments. Now the only question to de
cide is what is 'supervision.' For my part
I am willing to take Webster's definition,
but that may not be sufficient in this case."
POOLING WITH THE LAW.

ONE CRAFT GIVES JX
Building Trades Strike Weakened
by Men Returning to Work.
AGENT JONES IS STILL HOPEFUL.
The Amalgamated Association Elects Officers
and Adjourns.
ALL GLASS HOUSES SHUT DOWN TO-DAT
The strike of the building trades was again
weakened yesterday by stonemasons return
ing to work. The men had been out for
nine weeks, and 700 Wen had been without
work. Many of them had been driven to des
peration by reason of the fact that they had
no funds in the treasury to support them
while out. They were locked out on April
26, and they then decided to demand eight
hours and 43 cents an hour, but at least 175
men returned to work yesterday at nine
hours and 40 cents an hour.
Over 100 of those who returned to work
are accounted for as follows: Buente & Mar
tin, 20; "William "Whitehead, 12; Valentine
ffi Berg, 15; Reese Lindsay, 9; Graff &Hem
merbrush, 7; H. Moore, 8; Stewart, 10;
Lauffer, 4; Kepple, 10; O'Connor & Collins,
5; H. "Woessncr, 3.
It is admitted on all sides that the defeat
of the stonemasons will go hard with the
other trades, and as they are now working
under the rules of the master stonemasons,
it will give their own union a set-back.
Ex-Agent Irwin Explains His Stand.
Ex-Agent Irwin, of the carpenters, when
seen yesterday said: "I stood up in various
unions and-endeavored to counsel the boys
to give up the fight I knew at the time it
would cost me my , official head.
But I knew I was doing the
the best for the organization. I knew they
were making a losing fight. The present
leaders know it, but they do not want to
acknowledge defeat. That's where they
make a mistake. A good general would not
drag an army of men through a losing battle
and not give up when he saw he could not
win. It is no dishonor to be defeated, and
if the men had given up when they should
have done so they would have saved their
money for a more opportune time."
Mr. Irwin clings to the position he took
when he was impeached. He will be tried
to-night by his union in the East End, for a
violation of his obligation, but he has little
fear that the result will not be favorable
to him.
The Master Builders More Confident
President Fulmer of the Master Builders'
Association, talked yesterday as though he
thought the stonemasons' defeat would
mean the overthrow of the carpenters.
"They can't win now," said he; "although
I don't believe the strike will ever be de
clared off. It is settling itself, and
while I do not suppose much will be
done before the Fourth of July, I
think that by the Monday following
all the men who can find work will be on
duty. As for myself, I have no contracts on
hands. I have here (holding up plans for a
building) the first set of plans I have fig
ured on since the strike commenced. They
are for a house that will cost about 81,400.
I feel safe in figuring on it, because if I get
the job I know I can get the men to do the
work."
The Board of Directors of the Builders'
Exchange met yesterday and passed a reso
lution practically rescinding their former
action, which required a permit for every
sale of material, and affords opportunity to
its members to sell to whoever they please.
The business of the Union Supply Com
pany is said to be increasing so rapidly that
new quarters were necessary. Office room
has been secured in the Excelsior building.
Yesterday a number of additional journey
men left their names at the headquarters
with the statement that they were ready to
go into the contracting business.
All the special agents claimed yesterday
that the stonemasons' defeat would have no
effect on the carpenters' strike and that mat
ters are yet in good shape.
Meetings of Various Unions.
A special meeting of the Plasterers' union
will be held to-day at 10 o'clock, and it is
intimated that they will be the next to con
test the position of the bosses.
Bricklayers' Union No. 2 met last night,
and discussed the situatio . The brick
layers at Wheeling have taken up the fight,
supporting the local journeymen.
Special Agent Jones, of the stonemasons,
when seen last night said he did not con
sider their fight a hopeless one. He insisted
that it hod been misrepresented in some re
spects. He asserted that his union had
$3,500 in bank, so that the strike could not
have failed for want of funds. In regard
to the number of men each firm was
reported as having, he said that Buente &
Martin have no men at work; "William
Whitehead 8,instcad of 12; Valentine &Berg
9, and not 15 as reported; Reese Lindsay 4,
instead of 9, and other firms have a few
scattered employes. He thinks the
union has not lost more than 50 men, and
most of those who went to work are Italians
and non-union men.
Union 230 appointed a committee last
night for the purpose of trying the charges
against E. A. Holmes. The same union will
find it necessary to bring charges against
their secretary. A. G. C. Rhodes was em
ployed at Schuette & Co.'s, but when he
made up his mind to go to work again they
had no place for him. He is now working
for A. & S. Wilson.
IRON W0BEEBS ADJOURN.
Amalgamated Scale Left in the Hands of the
Conference Committee.
The Amalgamated Association adjourned
last night shortly after 8 o'clock. The busi
ness of the session was wound up, officers
elected and the scale placed in the hands of
the conference committee with power to act.
The election of officers occupied the whole
of the afternoon session. President Weihe,
Secretary Madden, Assistant Secretary
Kilgallon and Treasurer Penney were all
re-elected without opposition. There was a
lively skirmish for trustees. Ed A. Keil,
the, present incumbent; John Man
sell,' of "i'oungstown; Jerry Dougherty
and John Pcarce, of the Southside, were
the candidates. The contest was a lively
one. Keil was elected on the first ballot,
but, after the voting had continued for some
time. Dougherty withdrew, leavine the
field open for the other two, who were
elected. All of the Vice Presidents, with
the exception of "William AVhiteman, from
Muncie, Ind., were re-elected.
Interest over the scale increases. Another
conference will be held this" morning. Af
fairs seem to have taken a turn in regard to
the scale. There are a great many who
think that the nine-hour clause
will be allowed to remain but that
other concessions will be made in order
to even up on the deal. It was discovered
yesterday that some of those who are the
most bitterly opposed to the nine-hour
clause are men whose mills have been work
ing under the proposed rule, some of them
foryenfs. It is thought that few of the
local manufacturers will sign now, but will
postpone final action on the matter as long
as they can in order to secure all the conces
sions possible.
ADVANCED THE PBICES.
Makers of Lantern Globes Meet and Discuss
the Trade.
A number of manufacturers of lantern
globes met at the Duquesne yesterday to
discuss the trade. They were very mysteri
ous about what was done, and little informa
tion could be obtained. Prices were ad
vanced about 10 per cent The rates have
been cut so badly during the last few years
that the makers agreedto bury the hatchet
and maintain living prices.
Among those present were R. H. Cabb,
"Warren, O.; P. L. Salmon, Syracuse, War-

AOTrtJAL SHUTDOWN TO-DAT.
Glass Factories All Over the Country Sus
pend Business.
The summer shutdown in the glasshouses
throughout the country takes place to-day.
The boys will hail the day with delight,
and the next six or eight weeks will be
spent at camp or seashore resting up for the
next fire.
The season just closed has not been a too
prosperous one. At one time over 20 win
dow houses were shut down owing to dull
trade. Tbe'flint trade was bad. But the
worst of all for the men is the fact that the
flint manufacturers have as yet refused to
sign the scale, and the window manufactur
ers want a reduction in wages. "

OH, WHAT A ROAST!
A Delegate to the Amalgamated Conven
tion Pays His Compliments to the City
Peculiarities of the Streets and Police
Force A Look at the City by Night
H. W. Spencer is a member of the Amal
gamated Convention. He hails from Joliet,'
I1L, and was never in Pittsburg previous to
the present session of the National Lodge.
Mr. Spencer is quite an orator and has
figured prominently in the adoption of the
new scale. He is also a writer of consider
able ability. The current number of the
Stedicorker, published at his home, contains
a description of his first visit to the
'Smoky Citv" written hv Mr. Hnencer
himself. He pays his compliments to Pitts
burg as follows:
The first thing that struck me was the fact
that Pittsburg has no streets, but an inter
minable lot of alleys running in every direc
tion. The greatest number of triangular
plots to a given area seems to have been the
leading ambition of the persons who origi
nally platted the town. I can get lost any
time in'flve minutes; but all a person has to
do when lost is to keep right on, and in a
short time he will come back to tho starting
point. Nearly all of the buildings and side
walks are brick. Their sanitary system is a
strange one in regard to waste water, but to
do Justice I must say that) their system of
street cleaning is worthy of emulation.
Every night all the principal alleys are run
over with a street sweeper, and the refuse
carted away. The alleys are uaved with
cobble stones, and are so rough" that when
riding or walking over them you must keep
your tongue in your month or you will bite
It off. Another very peculiar phenomenon
is the police. He is a different person from
his western brother. By their carriage you
would not imagine that they owned tho
United States, or even the city. If you ask
a question they will answer it civilly, or
walk a block to show you something, or to
direct you somewhere; and when seven or
eight persons are standing on the sidewalk
and blockading travel, they don't come and
tapj-ou on the shoulder and say -move on,"
but they walk up and stand beside you, and
seem perfectly happv to see people step off
tho sidewalk to get byl
I had been waiting for a clear day to visit
Mt. Washington and look over the city. It
lies between great bluffs, seveial hundred
feet high, and Mt. Washington isthe highest
point on the well, I won't say whether it is
the east, west, north or south, for I cannot
find anyone that knows the points of the
compass; hut it is the highest around hero.
I kept asking when it would be clear, and
the renlv was "to-morrow " FInallv one
honest person informed me that it was
smoke, and that it would never be clear:
that if I wanted to see tho city I must go up
in the night. I thought that the night was a
queer time to see a city, but since then I
have visited the place, and no words of mine
can do Justice to tho grandeur of the scene.
A lot of us took a trip down the river Sun
day last week on a pleasure steamer. The
scenery is grand, the wooded bluffs rising in
fantastic shapes and forms, and bright with
different colors. It was a scene to rest and
inspire one, and sitting in the bow of the
boat, drinking the fresh air after the smoke
of the city, I had tho only poetic inspiration
I ever felt. It was quite a shock about 40
volts, I should judge. I took out pencil and
note book, and who can say what might
have been had not one of the boys at this
Juncture come down from the deck and
slapped me on tho shoulder asking if I had
any "tobies" along. If you don't know what
"tobies" are, Burke or Washar can inform
you. I am afraid I shall never have another
chance to immortalize myself, arfd naturally
my appetite is not as good as usual.

SCHOOLER'S VICTIM DEAD.
Leonard Hilton Dies at the Hospital From
the Effects of His Wound.
Leonard Hilton, the young colored man
who was shot by Richard Schooler, also col
ored, over a game of cards in a shauty on
Hill street, Hardscrabble, last Sunday
night, died at the Homeopathic hospital at
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Magistrate
Gripp went to take Hilton's dying deposi
tion three times, but he insisted that he was
not going to die, and the deposition could
not be taken. In less than an hour atfer
the last visit Hilton sank into unconscious
ness. The Coroner was notified and the body
being removed to the morgue, a jury was
empaneled, and the inquest was adjourned
until a post mortem examination can be
held. Hilton's father called at the morgue
last night and after viewing his son's re
mains began to weep. Richard Schooler is
in jail charged with murder. He acknowl
edged the shooting, hut claimed it was acci
dental. Several witnesses to the act have been
arrested, but the revolver has not been
found. Schooler says he does not know
whose revolver it was.
