THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH SUNDAY, JUNE 28,- 1891.
afraid of b.-er.ker to co:umit thcth
fcelvcs to nit citent worth speaking of.
The ir-p:.blieat:s in the State of nil tac
tions luvien't had much ue for Chairman
Andrews since he ued liis official po
Mt'nu to promote nominations, and
vhen Delaraatcr's star vent down
Andrews' sun commenced to ,Ct.
A question which is now interest
ing the leaders is w hethcr he should he al
low cl to serve out his term or not. XI T.
Mae:ee has declared strotlgly against hirh,
and he says Mr. Andrews will be turned
dowr. a soon as the next convention meets.
Cooper's Opinion on the Chalrrnanshln.
Seme new lijrht was thrown on the fight
Yesterday by one of tht editors of the. State
Svditorini Association who was on his way
lionip from Atlantis City, -where ibe organ
ization ei'joji-d its annual outing. Thorcts
Coopc, by virtue of the fact that he runs a
country paper, wr.s on hand at the tcahore,
and heij.n: thevrech ingathering political
ijifcmjaisrn about vatious parts of tha
Staio frciu the editors. The redheaded
ex-Chairman iz 0:1 the inside, end can :sl
wars ietvjt r. few i-ecrets vheu ho feels
il: it. He told the editor in question that
Anarchs v.ss. w lUk' to step dow n and out,
if the party would square the books. Owing
to the "CH'iniianN methods in the
3t.t campaiirst, Cooper said, the
ion:n:ittec nas badly in debt, and Andrews
ihkiksif lie wore permitted to run things
this l.ill he could straighten out aifair. It
is a question whit will he done. , All tl
expenses are charged to the State CJnirman,
and it has not been decided that lie
is pergonal: rc-punsible. Jlio euiror
i-tatid that :! ISTS, when Quay was Chair
man ?ii tli" committee was in a hole, some
one iu;.-d him for a bill. The courts decided
that the Chairman of sveh a committee
ceald not be held responsible for its debts.
11 tliis i true, and Mr. Andrews is tired, he
could get out in safety without inviting a
light and sure defeat.
The leaib-ri. in Pittsburg who kept tab on
the last campaign will remember Andrews
famous telegram to the County Committee
that tiie buttons were all gone. One
of thoc telegrams was nosted up
ii few days belori- election, and the atten
tion of contributors to the State lund was
called to it. but little money was put up
from Allttthcii county. Cooper accuses
Andrews villi being extravagant. The last
fight, however, he says, was one that money
would not win.
EX-SOLDIERS FOE M0KKIS0H.
They Indorse Their liorlto Comrade
In
a Manner Most Henrrr.
A co'nmittcc of ex-Union soldiers, con
sisting of .). It. StcciiRon, It. I). Layton,
Charles 1". SheriiV, .Joseph Ii Eaton, Ed
waid AW l.'.usninn and George A. Cassidy,
has issued a lenctliy tireular commendatory
of Hon. .7obn W. Morrison and indorsing
his candidacy for State Treasurer. In its
memorial, the committee says:
"We ak each one of you, personally, to
Join with us in the nomination ard election
of one of those Union soldiers, already
jiamed in this address. He entered the
"Union army from Mercer county, as a
prJstein Company E,One Hundredth Itegi
Jncnt, I'ennsjnaii'a Volunteers (Itouml
bcads), in the month of August, 1801. when
barely 20 j ears of age, and continued thf re
for oCer three jears, in the meantime rising
to the rank of a Lieutenant in his companv.
Ke saw hard service with his regiment in
South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Mis
sissippi and Tennessee. His experience
therefore as a soldier is sufficient to place
him in sympathy with the rank and file of
his old comrades of the war. His career in
every jiositi cm in which he has been placed has
fully tested him, and has prben him to be
an Vminently proper person for the high
and t cry responsible office of State Treas
urer. All those who know him will bear
testimony to his fitness fortius office. The
old soldiers ot his native city of Philadel
phia and of his preccnt home, Allegheny
count-, without regard to parties, join an
iisVing you nndaH the comrades in the State
to co-operate in his nomination, and then to
bis triumphant election in November."
Counts on Morrison.
11 F. Aeheson, of the Washington Ob
vwr, passed through the city yesterday on
Ms way home from Atlantic City. Mr.
Aeheson thinks that Morrison has the in
side track for State Treasurer. He is not
taking any interest in the League Club
ficht. but he would like to see Dalzell
elected President.
THE ASHES OF THE DEAD.
Directors of the Allegheny Cemetery Pre
paring to Construct a Colnmharinm
William 1'arke and John A. 35oore
Made Corporators.
The annual meeting of the corporators of
the Allegheny Cemetery was held yester
day afternoon at the cemetery. Hon. Chris
topher Magce presided. The report of the
Board of Directors was read. It showed the
cvcilable assets to be 4t.",22i 2G. In the
last few years there was 8253,816 expended
on ihc gateway and repairs. The sales of
lots during the ycaramounted to .M,875 60.
The report then states that during the year
3,293 interments were made in the grounds.
Of this number 190 were over 70 years of
age and 415 under 5. The total number of
graves at present is 33,587 and there are
4,i 5 lot owners. The report then con
tinues: "Your b'-ord is now considering plans for
the construction of a columbarium, similar
to those usid by the old ltomans for the
ashes oi their dead. In this experiment -it
is proposed to construct five vaults, the
center one to be larger than those on cither
iside, and to contain niches in which can'be
placed urns containing the ashes of cremated
bodies. Tablets witli inscriptions can be
placed in lront of each. AVe know of no
other columbarium in this country. The
fide nults will be sold to prhftte parties."
In regard to this matter H. K. Porter
said the Board of Directors understood such
a matter ai.d the call for its necessity more
than the corporators and it would be best
to loaie it to their wisdom. One of the
managers stated after the meeting that the
cost would hardly exceed ?lo0,0W.
The ether business ot the meeting was the
rcidmg ot minutes of respect upon the
aeatus oi mum maw, imam M. Dar
lington, John It Shociibcrger, Reuben Mil
ler, Jr . and John Harper. William G.
1'srke and John A. Moore were elected cor
porators to fill the vacancies caused by the
death ot Mr Miller and Mr. Harper.
The election of the Hoard of Directors re
sulted as follows: Charles J. Clarke, Presi
dent; John A Moore, Secrctarvand Treas
urer; Charles E. Specr, S. C, McCandless,
r. S. Hisscll, F. K. Brunot, John B. Jack

Dr. B. A Wancn, the State ornitholo
gist, of West Chester, Pa , has been in the
city during the past ten da s, In that time
he has made several visits through Beaver
and Lawrer.ce counties for the purpose of
gathering data on several species of birds.
Dr. A. D. JohiiKton, of Allegheny, who
is a close friend of Dr. Warren's, stated
jesterdav that it was the hitter's intention
to issue a third edition of Jiis
book a: his own expense, the Gov

POSIRG FDR PURITY.
The Water Bureau Is Forced to Re
turn to the Use of Coal and Will
Adopt Smoke Consumers.
A CLOUDLESS EXAMPLE TO ALL
Is tho Idea Mr. "Wilcox Would like to
Bring Out by Placing Them
in Each Station.
LAMES ARE JUBILANT OYER THE MOTE
Opinion of a Chicago Fipcrt on tio Possibilities of
Thtse Devices.
Pittsburg is about to take another step to
ward cleanliness and freedom from smoke.
As another result of the work done by the
Ladies' Health Protective Association, the
municipal authorities are to be whipped
into line in the battle against smok The
Water Department is compelled to go back
j to coal, because the gas supply has become
i tuo fickle for the department to risk another
winter with no better promise of fuel than
was given during the one just past. Xot
withstnnding the return to coal the city is
not to be troubled with black
clouds of smoke from any of the
pumping stations. Superintendent Wil
cox, of the Water Bureau, and Senator
William ITlinn are authority for the state
ment that in each station smoke consumers
will be used not only as an economic meas
ure, but also as a great moral example to
-the manufacturer and others who insist on
destroying homes and wrecking the happi
ness of the inmates by filling, the nir with
poisonous vapors and covering everything
with a robe of soot.
Horw the Slatter Was Evolved.
The matter was brought out by a conver
sation between Superintendent Wilcox and
Senator Flinn in an elevator. Mr. Wilcox
opened the matter by stating that bids were
in for fuel for the coming year and that coal
would have to be used. He closed with the
remark that it would make an awfnl lot of
smoke.
"But you, of course, intend to put in
smWkecsnsumers," remarked the Senator.
"I am afraid it would cost too much. How
much would it cost?"
"About ?30,O00," replied Mr. Wilcox.
"It wouldn't take long to make that up
in the fuel that would be saved," returned
Mr Flinn. Then he added: "You had bet
ter make arrangements to use consumers,
and we wHI see that they are put in. It
ought to be done, for we want an ordinance
against the smoke nuisance, and here would
be a great chance for the city to pose as an
example.
The pair finally decided that such action
ought to be taken, although the ordinance
authorizing it may not be introduced until
the September meeting of Councils. When
Mr. Flinn was asked about the matter yes
terday he was deep in political affairs and
denied that he knew anything about smoke
consumers or the intentions of the Water
Bureau. However, he was not told where
the information had been gleaned.
The Ladles Very Well rieased.
The ladies who .have been working so
hard to lessen the nuisance caused by smoke
are jubilant over the idea that the city will
furnish an example of cleanliness. The
women are still conducting their w arare,
and yesterday they received tbje following
able ideas on the smoke t nuisance from
Andrew Young; of Chicago. ,
"There are so many interests centering
in the Eubjcct of smoke abatement-that the
least aid in the riddance ofUhis great nuis
ance will be of value and prove a public
benefaction. The evils of tne smoke nuis
ance touch life and the welfare" of humanity
in every phase of existence and occupation.
The ills arising therefrom affect communities
injuriously.in every condition in which life
is pursued. It poisons the atmosphere, con
taminates food and drink, soils clothing
and furniture, makes the day dismal,
blackens cottages and mansions, depreciates
value, and lessens the attractiveness of cities
to enterprises, the investor, and the so
journer. Not only this, but in the abate
ment of smoke there is an incidental good
which, while not the prime object sought, is
of much importance and value: that is the
economy in the consumption of fuel arising
from a more thorough and complete com
bustion, and the greater utilization ot the
heal force.
Worth While to Eradicate.
"The extent to which benificent reforms,
science, arid inventive genius have been di
rected in the abatement of these ills is evi
dence that a great public evil has an every
day existence with us. and that k is worth
our while to expend some medns, time and
labor in its eradication.
"It has been demonstrated in this country
and others that the smoke nuisance can be
abated. It is no longer a question of doubt.
It is an established fact, and there now re
mains the development of the most effective
and economic means in the accomplishment
of the object in view. This we do not be
lieve lies in the invention of new fuel or
the manufacture of new, yet research and
experiment in this direction are to be en
couraged. AVe believe the solution of the
problem lies in the perfection of devices for
the complete combustion of fuek This is
not outside the bounds of possibility, and
is not dependent on the will-o'-the-wisp
of glittering theories or the changing
conditions of seasons and place. It is to be
accomplished in conformity with natural
laws, in supplying the meaus through which
these laws operate instead of placing ob
structions in their way defeating that w Inch
nature attempts to accomplish. These de
vices appear in varied forms of construc
tion, but the object sought is the same, the
complete combustion of fuel. When we
shall have arrived at that period in which
perfect combustion is secured, or the results
of. partial combustion are consumed, we will
then have solved one of the most important
and immediate problems of the present day.
Some of the Evidences of Progress.
"That progress has been made in this direc
tion, there are recorded proofs in the public
press of the country. Our own city is not
without evidence, and it has established the
fact, through the material lessening of this
evilt that it can be abated. The public are
so directly interested in this matter that
they should actively and continuously co
operate with the authorities in the abate
ment of this nuisance. Not only this, but
encouragement should be given to investi
gation, experiment, discovery and inven
tion. Mechanical skill which has thus far
so materially advanced the cause should re
ceive proper inducements to pursue its
course in the greater perfection ot its inven
tions and devices.
"A device has recently been put in opera
tion in England which has for its purpose,
not the combustion of fuel, but the preven
tion of the Jesuits of incomplete combustion
fromiiscjpfng into the atmosphere. This is
accomplished by means ot a chamber in
which sprays of water wash down the sus
pended particles and retain them in a
recepticle below. This is said to be very
effective in arresting the evils of smoke,
but it fails in an economical sense as the
heat force of perfect combustion is not
utilized and results in a waste of fuel and
the energy necessary to operate the device.
"What may be developed in -the future
cannot be conjectured. History proves
that there is practically no limit to the pos
sibilities of invention and the utilization of
the forces about us but 'at present it seems
to have'becn established that the abatement
of the smoke nuisance lies in the perfection
of furnaces which will accomplish the ob
ject of perfect combustion of fuel."
The ladies of the Health Protective Asso-
ciation were also well pleased with the
progress they had madeXn eradicating the
habit of expectorating on the floqrs of
steam and street railway coaches. Tbey
have received letters from all the prominent
lines thanking them for theireffortsin the
matter.
I
BIGELOW'S LIGHT SENTENCE.
IIoIstetOffliyPayin-tlip Costs and Re
moving tbo Obstruction The .Wharf
Must Be Cleaned Up Inside 'of CO
Days. -
The jail doors closed with a bang yester
day, but Chief Bigelow .wasn't in it. The
wharf nuisance question was for the time
settled. In the proceedings against Chief
Bigelow for contempt of court in not remov
ing the obstruction on the wharf, Judge
Slagle banded down the following order:
"And now, June 27, 1S91, the motion for at
tachment having been signed "by "counsel,
upon consideration it is ordered and di
rected that an attachment be issued as
prayed, unless the said E. M, Bigelow,
within ten days", commence the work, and
prosecute diligently and fully excute the
sentence heretofore imposed within 60 days
from this date."
This allows scarcely more than '50 days
in which to perform the work. Chief
Bigelow felt humiliated but satisfied because
he escaped imprisonment. In an interview
he said: , (
"The decision is satisfactory. The court
understood my position and could not do
anvthing else. I do not expect to have nny
difficulty in " completing tne work in the
time specified. Notwithstanding'' this de
cision I still intend to beautify and improve
the park. It is my intention to go to work
as soon as possible and make what changes
I can without interfering with the Coal Ex
change. I mean to lay out walks and plant
shrubbery." '
After fiavins delivered himself of these
things the Chief attended the meeting of
the County Committee and then busied him
self in Sch'enley Park. Healways goes there
when he is mad at himself or the world and
on horseback gallops up and down the
steepest hillsides.
Captain Thomas M. Bees, the prosecutor,
said lie was satisfied with the sentence and
did not want to see ' Mr. Bigelow unneces
sarily ppnished.
A GHEAT TIME ANTICIPATED
At the Coming Reunion of Irish National
ists at Youngstowr.
The annual reunion of the Irish National
ists will bo held at the Youngstown Fair
Grounds, Thursday, July 2. The A O. H.
rifle companies of Pittsburg, East Liberty,
Braddock, Cleveland, Sharon and Youngs
town will join in a grand street parade
from Hibernian Hall to the fair grounds.
Representative citizens, including the judges
and leading members of the Mahoning
County Bar will be oa the list of vice presi
dents. Committees are busily engaged in
perfecting arrangements and it is ex
pected that the demonstration will be
one of the grandest ever witnessed in
Youngstown. Addresses will be made by
the Hon. Daniel J. Kyan, of Oliio, and Hon.
M. F. Wilhere, of Philadelphia, and others.
An extensive programme of athletic sports
has been prepared. It consists of all kinds
of jumps, throwing the hammer, walking
match, Irish reel, Irish jig, tug of war, etc,
including a trotting race for a purse of $150.
Some of the fastest runners in" Ohio are
expected to be entered in the horse races.
Those desiring to enter any of the contests
should address J. F. Hynes, of Youngstown.
Divisions of the A O. H. and companies of
the Board of Erin Itifles are preparing to
turn out, and it is expected that all Irish
societies will join hands to make the reunion
of 1891 a memorable one.
A STUBBORNLY FOUGHT CASE.
The Inclined Plane Battle Apparently Com
ing to an End.
The stubborn controversy between the
Mt. Oliver Inclined Plane Company and
the Pittsburg Inclined Plane Company is
probably near its end. The master, D. F.
Patterson, has filed his report and finds for
the defendants. The conclusion of the find
ing is substantial! as follows: Being of the
opinion that the plaintiff failed to furnish
evidence of its location sufficient to put the
defendant on, inquiry until after the loca
tion had been made and large expense in
curred, he does not deem it material to con
sider other points made by the defendant's
counsel. Accordingly he recommends the
dismissal of plaintiff's bill and at
its cost While on outsider might think
the defendants could not ask for more,
it appears that their counsel, Mr. Lewis, is
not fully satisfied, and while in accord with
bis general conclusion, is inclined to dis
pute a position of the master's finding as to
certain facts, especially as to the powers of
inclined planes to exercise tho right of emi
nent domain.
Mr. Patterson has not yet passed on Jlr.
Lewis exceptions, but the matter will
likely reach the courts at an early date.
The case has been stubbornly .fought, and it
was delayed by the death of" John H. Hamp
ton, ouc of the defendant's counsel, it hav
ing been agreed that he should make the
argument. On his death this labor de
volved upon Mr. Miller.
AEEAXGIUG FOB LAB0B DAY.
Both Trades Councils Will Unite in the
Dig Demonstration.
The regular meeting of the Central Trades
Council as held last night with a fair at
tendance of delegates. Mr. George E. Ev
ans, secretary of the Beaver Valley Trades
Council, was present and extended an invi
tation to the Pittsburg Council to unite with
the Beaver Valley body in holding their an
nual picnic at Bock Point on September 1.
Owing, however, to the fact that the Pitts
burg Council already has a committee ar
ranging for the celebration of Labor Day in
Pittsburg, the invitation had to be declined.
A committee from the Building Trades
Council in reference to the Labor Day dem
onstration was present and arrange'd for a
joint meeting of committees on Thursday
evening, July 2. The delegates reported
that many of the different locals would be
represented in the demonstration at Steu
ben ville July 6.

MUSIC ON THE MOUND.
Highland Hill Concerts Immediately
Strike a Popular Chord.
IMEL0DY MOVES THE MULTITUDE
Which Cro-wds Out From All Sides to Enjoy
the Scenery and the
PLATING OF THE GEEAT WESTERN BAND
On the principle that it is well to be
thankful for small mercies, in expectation
of greater, the citizen, his wife and family
accept the concerts at HighlandPark with a
degree of gratitude only equalled by their
desirerfor more of them. He is thankful,
that, these sunny afternoons and warm
evenings, somebody o other has
thought it would be a financial stroke
of great genius to hire a band
and have it discourse sweet music on the
mound west of the reservoir. For manv
years the denizen of Pittsburg has sat oil
his porch, or at his window, and wondered
why it was that Pittsbnrg had not some of
those out-of-door amusements that citizens in
less favored towns have as a matter of course.
And now when the thoughtful brain of
some man whether philanthropically in
clined or not, does not matter
has furnished some form of amuse
ment in a very charming place, the citjzen
accepts tne gooas tne gous send him with a
very thankful air, and makes the most of
them.
Thonsands of Feople Slado Happy.
This is what thousands of people did on
Highland avenue hill yesterday afternoon
and evening; made the most of an oppor
tunity of snatching brief relaxation amid
very charming surroundings. From the
mound, or hilltop, as choice may designate

it, a charming bit of river scenery, retting
immediately below and to the right nnd left,
unfolds itself. The winding Allegheny,
pursuing its -shimmering course through the
thickly wooded valleyt whence arises at in
tervals, the amok . of furnaces denoting the
busy nature of the locality, suggests an idea
of peaceful quietude that fits in well with
the generally unrestful man as he speids ah
idle hour,on the hilltop gazing down. f
poets or romancists want a theme they may
find it there too; the former from
the Inspiration of nature, visible in many
woods around about; the lotferfrom among
the moving throng of old and young that
covers the limited area of the mound,
crowned by the band stand, with its musi
cians. Highland Hill seems to have jumped at
once into popular favor, if a criterion is
afforded by the numbers which assembled
on it during yesterday. A computation of
the number is not possible, but an authority

evening at 20,000; and he may have been
ri ht They came from all quarters of the
city, and by every mode of conveyance.
How the People Gathered.
The immediate residents walked up the
hill, buggies and teams were there .by th'c
score, but the rapid transit lines were re
sponsible for the greatest number of people.
The Duquesnc line runs within 15 minutes'
walk of the hill, and the people knew it.
The popularity of thisnewly found resort was
illustrated bv'the manner in which the peo
ple packed themselves into the cars. The
average citizen would generally expect some 1
especial ueueub iu juuun iiiicc-ijuuners
ofan hour's journey in a car in which were
some 70 other mortals, similarly bent,
cooped up like fheep in a pen, not to
say anything of having one's toes walked
over, a'baby placed on one's shoulder by a
too doting mother, to enable it to gaze out
at nothing, or to suffer the agony, of sitting
beside the best girl of a ybung man
who tried to exchange ideas with her from
the neighborhood of the bell cords, but the
desire to get a mouthful of fresh air and a
look at the clouds from that hilltop was so
great that the average citizen willingly un
derwent these discomforts to attain them.
Bpth Concerts Great Successes.
Both of the Great Western Band concerts
yesterday passed off excellently. Every
body liked the idea, and wants it executed
to its fullest extent The only draw
back to the Highland hill site
is . its narrow area and limited
seating accommodation. The latter will be
increased, it is said. So, also, will be,the
police surveillance which, although not
necessary yesterday may become so in the
future.
A j-oung tough namedWilliam Mulligan
was charged with insulting several ladies.
and lie was promptly locked up in the Nine
teenth ward station. To convey the passen
gers home again the Duquesne people had a
long line of cars ready at 9:30 o'clock, but
they were not sufficient for the throng that
besieged them all at once. Credit must be
given the conductors for their touting ability.
There was no opposition to speak of, of
course, but they never could even surmise
when they had a car fulL The Dispatch
reporter counted 65 people in one car, and
then the rope-puller was calling out in
stentorian tones: "Plenty of room inside;
push up a little farther; plenty of
room more when" "we get down a piece,"
and the fun was that many people believed
him.

LOVE AT AN END.
Several Family Skeletons Made to Dance In
Public Mr. LoioOnce Moro Iteplies to
His Wife One of Her Letters to a Dear
Friend.
J. E. Love yesterday filed a replication to
the charges made by his wife, Mrs. M. D.
Love, in her answer to the suit for a di
vorce brought by him. Mr. Love states
that the assertions of his wife are false and
untrue. When she said that their separa
tion from April to September. 1890, was by
mutual consent, under articles of separa
tion, and was necessitated by his cruel and
barbarous treatment of her, he asserted that
she was making a false statement The
truth was that she was carrying'on a secret
correspondence w ith a young man named
"Frank," whose full name it was not neces
sary to at present disclose. The letter in
question was pinned tci Frank's pillow.
That this was well known to the libellant
wa3 known to the respondent when she
made her answer to the libel, and the sep
aration was not due to cruel and barbarous
treatment. In order to refresh her memory
he attached a full copy of the letter. It is
as follows:
My Dzaii Fkakk You asked me to-day if
there was anything I wnnted to accomplish.
Yes, there is, and oh! how1 1 long just tolfcnow
and feel tb.it you still menu nil j'ou snid!
'ow, Frank, please do not bo unkind to mo
anymore. I am heartbroken, and yon know
it. Just pleaso tell Ett once, faho lias lived
for you many j cars. Xow, stop to tblnk all
j'ou are doing, lie generous and say some
thin'; to Rive her comfort. Don't make her
think you can forget all her life is ended.
Frank, you have not an idea the load of sor
row I have to bear. If you want anything
come tome. I will always bo true and the
same.
This letter, Mr. Love said, was written by
Mrs, Love and pinned upon the pillow of
the Frank named. It was purely upon it
that the affiant was driven to desperation.
He neer cruelly treated her, but has used
all the means in his power "to make her
decent and well behaved." Her madness
and mania for certain men was the cause of
all the present trouble. In conclusion, he
again asked that he be given a divorce.
Cruel and barbarous treatment were the
charges made yesterday in two suits for
divorce. One was filed by Attorney A. H.
Rowand, in behalf of Anna M. Francis, by
her next friend, Emma S. Zollar, aeainst
John Francis. They were married in
Beaver, January 9, 1888. He treated her
cruelly, and ofiered Tier such indignities
that she was finally compelled to leave him.
Attorney Watson F. Miller, in behalf of
Maggie Voclker, by her next friend, Law
rence Kelly, entered suit for a divorce from
Andrew voelkcr. It was alleged that he
treated her cruelly, and beat and kicked her
and their children. She finally had to leave
him, unable longer to endure life with
him.
Saved by a Itope and a Policeman
Michael Donehoo, his wife and three
children were almost drowned Friday night
by their joboat springing a leak. When
they awoke the boat was rapidly sinking.
Mrs. Donehoo's cries attracted a policeman,
who threw a rope and saved the family.

NO CONCESSIONS TET.
Another Unsuccessful Conference on
the Carpenters' Strike.
ONE FIRM SIGNS THE IRON SCALE.
A Test Proving That Cold Water "Will Not
Injure Hot Boilers.
ANOTHER FIGHT ABOUT DEMURRAGE
The close of another week finds the build
ing trades' strike still sticking, with no in
dications of it being declared off. Another
conference was held yesterday, but with the
same result with which all previous ones
were characterized. It is not likely another
meeting will be held, as the contractors are
figuring on a general stampede to occur any
djiy, and if they figure correctly the strike
will be broken inside of a week.
The leadenof the strike remain firm,
however, and say the bosses will be disap
pointed in the stampede. President Ful
"mer, of the Master Builders' Association,
says if the strike were declared of there
would be about half a season of good busi
ness in the building line yet, and he thinks
nearly all the carpenters could find some
thing to do.
Plenty of Work to Do.
There is plenty of work on hands to be
.given out just as soon as the matter is set
tled. It is not expected that work would
be commenced on many large buildings, but
there are enough small ones projected to
keep things moving this fall.
A report was started last night
that many contractors would be pushed
to the wall in a few days owing to the quar
terly bills becoming due July 1, and they
would be compelled to grant the demands
in order to meet their obligations. This
was denied by Exchange members, who said
that members who arc in better financial
shape will take care of the smaller contrac-'
tors for the sake of preventing a break in
their ranks. It is true that a great many
have bills to meet on July 1. Some of them
are able to meet their own bills, but many
are not and must either receive assistance,
which has been promised, grant the de
mands or be forced to the wall.
Should the contractors come out ahead in
this fight, a big war is to be waged against
the walking delegate system. There is no
opposition to the unions having their walk
ing delegates, but objections will be raised
to their entering buildings while men are at
work.
Special Agents Not Getting Rich.
The story that the special agents are be
ing paid big salaries is vigorously denied by
Agent Snyder. He told a Dispatch re
porter last night that the agents are only
receiving their expenses. They are not ask
ing any more, and are not getting it.
A It Bud Iph presented specifications
for a row of houses on Ashton avenue, Al
legheny, to the building trade head
quarters. .Ex-Agent) irwin was tnea Dy a committee
ot his own union in the liast x.nd last niijht.
The
cnarjics were lor violating uis ouuga-
tion and divulging tne proceedings ot his
union. While the committee reserved its
decision, Mr. Irwin is confident he has won
his case. It was reported that over 75 mem
bers of his union have returned to work,
and that more will follow.next week.
Plasterers' Union No. 31 ended its meet
ing at noon yesterday. President Tenary
refused to say what was done. "The plas
terers are solid," was all he would say.
A special meeting of stonemasons will be
held on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
While the contractors, are firm in their
claims that over 150 men in this branch of
the building trade have returned to work,
the men are trying to make it appear that
no break jn their ranks has occurred. - "
Delegate O'Brien of the bricklayers,
stated yesterday that he had been notified to
secure 60 bricklayers to be in readiness to
go to furnace building in the different glass
houses as soon after July 1 as possible. The
Bricklayers' Union has elected the follow
ing officers: President, William Bartley;
Vice President, Albert Martin; Secretary,
George Speed; Treasurer, Edward Harper.
The trustees are William Engle and Kobert
Mills.
McKeesport Sporting Qnite a Boom.
A boom has been started in the building
line in McKeesport since the strike was
settled there. All of the contractors report
an increased force of men for to-morrow.
The striking carpenters are to have a benefit
week after next at the Bijou Theater. Yes
terday negotiations between the carpenters,
Mr. Lynn Welcher and Messrs. Gulick &
Co., of the Bijou Theater, resulted -in the
engagement of the theater for July 8 and 9.
On those two nights the amusing farce
comedy, "A Chip o the Old Block," will
be given by Mr. Lynn Welcher and a clever
company. Manager Gulick telegraphed
yesterday from New York that the Bijou
Theater would be at the disposal of the
parties named for any nights they might
select, free of all .charge. Naturally this
genesous offer was accented, and JIanager
Gulick won a host of compliments in labor
circles yesterday. The full cast of the play
and other particulars will be announced
later.
Preparing to Continue the Fight
The Building Trades Council met last
night and decided to make further prepara
tions for continuing the strike. An appeal
has been issued to all labor unions for funds,
and as yet no finance committee has been in
existence to handle the funds. Last night
Frank Riffle, John G. O'Shea, A J. Zirq
mer. John Ke vs and Kobert Tenary were ap
pointed. They will meet this afternoon and.
organize and lay out plans tor another mass
meeting of all trades on Tuesday evening.
A charter was granted yesterday for the
Journeymen Painters' Protective Associa
tion. THE FIEST TO SIGN.
How Negotiations on the New Iron Scale
Are Progressing.
The first local iron firm to sign the new
Amalgamated scale was the National Roll
ing Hill Company, which attached its name
to the document yesterday afternoon. Under
ordinary circumstances this would have been
regarded as a strange coincidence, since the
firm fought the scale so hard last year. But
the reason for so prompt action this year
lies in the fact that the firm is said to nave
a large number of orders on hand and can
not afford to have a shutdown at July 1.
There was another conference on the scale
yesterday, but it was not settled. The
workers' Committee has been increased by
the addition of Ed A Keil, who has been
on all the committees for many years past,
but who, at his own request, was relieved
at the beginning of the conference this year.
The Conference Committee has been given
full power to act and it is believed that
concessions will be made to the manufac
turers to even up on the nine-hour clause,
which will be insisted upon.
The scale was presented to the firms at
Girard, Allies and "Warren yesterday, but
all declined to sign until all the objection
able clauses had been eliminated. If the
scale is not signed by Tuesday night all the
mills will close down and work will not be
resumed until a settlement is reached. The
manufacturers arc beginning to show fight,
and it would not be surprising to see a shut
down in all the mills.
The quarterly adjustment of the Home
stead Eteel scale will also occur "Wednesday.
The men will not receive an advance, and
may be compelled to submit to another
slight reduction over the last quarter.
Steel billets have hung around pretty close
the minimum rate, at no time selling above
f26 60 during the quarter, the price upon
which a settlement was reached April L

Sight With Manufacturers on the Question
of Demurrage.
Another fight is on between the iron j
manufocturers of Youngstown and the rail
roads on the question of demurrage, and it
promises extended litigation through the
courts before a settlement is reached. Cir-
j culars on the Mahoning and Shenango Val
ley Car Service Association have been
served oh the manufacturers notifying them
that each delinquent who does not settle by
July 6 will be sued to enforce collection by
law.
It is understood that claims against cer
tain New Castle manufacturers for de
murrage also exist, .and that the difficulty
is ciusing much, trouble in ihe Mahoning
Valley. Claims for damages were presented
to the Etna and other companies at New
Castle over a year ago, which.were ignored,
uuu Homing more was ever sam auuui wo
matter. New Castle manufacturers are not
worried over the promised litigation.
AN OLD CLAIM B0NRE OUT.
Experiments Showing That Cold Water Can
Be-Pnmped Into a Bed Hot Boiler With
out Serions Besults Predicted In The
Dispatch Tears Ago.(
About seven years ago L. C. Burwell, who
had then been connected with the Hartford
Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance
Company for three years, and who is still
identified as agent for th,e' same concern,
contributed several articles to The Dis
patch on the subject of steam and its use.
They created a widespread interest. In one
of his articles Mr. Burwell contended, con
trary to all 'precedents at that time, that
there was no danger of explosion from sup
plying a red-hot boiler with cold water,
A Mr. Williams, of Sharpsburg, a boiler
expert, challenged Mr. Burwell to stand by
a boiler with rcdhot tubes while cold water
was pumped into the boiler. Williams at
first offered .to furnish the boiler if the chal
lenge was accepted. Burwell did accept,
and Williams backed out.
Now comes that able, experienced and
universally respected body, the Manchester
(England) Steam Users' Association, and,
as the result of a series of carefullji con
ducted experiments, fully sustain the posi
tion assumed by Mr. Burwell in every par
ticular. Each crown was fitted with three
I" fusible gauges, one being a disk of zinc six
Indies in diameter, secured with three set
screws, and the other two being plain plugs
three-quarters of an inch in diameter, one
of tin, the other of lead. In addition a lead
strip about one and one-half inches wide
and one-sixteenth inch thick was bound
across the middle of each belt of plating, so
as to afford an indication of the extent to
which the overheating extended longitu
dinally along the crown of each tube. The
fires were worked up to a brisk condition,
the safety valves were loaded to 25 pounds,
but with'the water level with the crowns,
the pressure rose to 30 pounds, both valves
blowing freely.
The first sign of overheating was at the
end of IS minutes when the tin plug gave
way, and in two and one-half minutes more
the zinc disk on the other furnace melted,
the water level at this time being three and
five-eighths inches below the crown of the
tubes. At this moment the feed water was
showered on the crown through a pipe laid
directly over it. No increase of steam pres
sure was noted; on the contrary, it steadily
declined, proving that, under the usual con
ditions of working, there is no sudden rise
of pressure due to the entrance of water in
an overheated boiler that is short of water.
