AMERICAN SHEFHELD Opinions of an Englishman on Pitts burg and Its Many Advantages for Manufacturers; CHAT WITH AN EX-LEAGUE UMPIEE W. S. Wykoff Tells Hott He Managed to Get Along "With the Ball Players With out Fining a Man. BOMB ADYICE ABOUT PLANTING TREES. Hotel BtH Boys In TVasMneton Hire a VerjTYholescme Fur of Mr. Blaine. Henry WcVb, one of the English iron and steel delegates who visited America last falL hss written a scries of letters o'Mch he has issued in pamphlet form for tht benefit of his friends, giving his opinion of the places he saw. Several are devoted to Pittsburg. "While in this city Mr. "Webb was the guest of Peter Dick, and through him one of the pamphlets was obtained. 3Ir. 'Webb, like most of the Englishmen, com plains about the American interviewer Tvho pestered him with questions, though few of the delegates were disturbed very much by reporters in Pittsburg. In answer ing a question irhethcr he would rather live in England or America, he says: "Judging from my hurried visit, of course, in Eng land, the only land of true liberty." This statement will fill the average Yankee with delirious glee, for the Americans think there is no country on the face of the earth as free as Uncle Sam's domains. A Readable Opinion of Pittsburg. "Writing about Pittsburg Mr. "Webb says: "Pittsburg is the Sheffield of America, and is the center of the iron and steel indus try. Both here and in Philadelphia the paving is as bad as bad can be, bat, Pitts burg seems much rougher than New York or Philadelphia. The houses and buildings are not ro good, but the town is filled with life and bustle. They are highly favored with everything, natural gas being close to the city. This is used in all the works and bouses, and they have no dense black smoke. Last year the amount of natural gas used represented 6,000,000 tons of coal so that anyone can imagine what an immense boon It is. The oil fields lie almost wholly in the basin of the Allegheny river, to the north cast of Pittsburg. The total production of the first eight months of 1890 was 18.333,849 barrels. There seems to be no certainty of knowing whether oil is present in a locality or not, and it can only be de termined by boring. In one field from the hill where we stood 23 wells could be seen. The petroleum industry has done a great deal to develop steam pumping machinery and thf manufacture of cast and wrought iron pipes. Oil refining is also an important industry. The total railroad tonnage of the citj for 1890 is estimated at 27,000,000 tons, end the total number of cars handled in one month is 110,000, with an average load of 20 tons each. The Khors of Great Value. "The rivers are of immense value to Pittsburg. By means of the three rivers in the city and tiie great streams beyond more than 20,000 miles of inland navigation arc ojicn to the steam craft of Pittsburg. nasesof;l,000 miles to Hew Orleans and bnek are a common thing. The farthest point reached by a Pittsburg steamer is Port Benton, on the Missouri river, 4,300 miles awaj . A curious sight is to see the coal boats pushed by towboats. These bnats are made into fleets of about 10.000 tons and arc taken down the Oluornerby stern wheel steamers. This is the least expensive mod; of transporta tion known. We werj told that coal is thus tent to Xew Orleans and the empty boats are returned for less than one-tenth of a wit per mile " Mr Webb was highly pleased with some o the iron mills ho saw here. He thinks lhBwire rod mill of Oliver and Boberts superior to anything in England, and he mentions the cold-rolling process i Jones & L-iughlin's and the work of thr 1'ittsburg lieduction Company, as something new and well worth the atten tion of toreigners. Speaking further of tutural gas ne sjid the number of miles of pipe bringing stiis into the city and distribu ting it is placed at 1,200. About 27,000 feet of cas are equal in efliciency to a ton of coal, npl hi v as told thit it sa. ed annually 5,C00, OoO tons of coal ln'l'ittsburg alone. CHAT WITH AN OLD UMPIEK.

The Secretary of State Inclined to Bo Crnsty "When Jfot Feeling "Well. Cashier "Wells, of the Duquesne, for sev eral years before he came to Pittsburg held the same position in the Xormandie at "Washington. Secretary Blaine and "Will iam "Walter Phelps took rooms in the house, and this fact heralded all over the country by the newspapers made the hotel., Mr. Wells is a great admirer of Blaine, and he had an excellent opportunity to stndy his habits. At times when his gout was a little worse than usual, and he was bothered by callers and affairs of State, the Plumed Knight was inclined to comb down everybody around him. He would growl at his Secretary, J and then ask. sarcastically, "What .kind of a Secretary are you, anyhow." He had a new man named Dent, and when the Secre tary was in n bad humor Dent would some times confide his woes to Mr. "Wells. Blaine, however, would soon forget what he said, and in a short time would be as kind as he was entity a few minutes before. The colored bell boys "had a mortal fear of him, and they would quake when his bell rang. The Secretary would .frequently call for a boy, and when"he came would often be so busy writing that he would forget he was present. Sometimes, after standing for awhile, the boy would turn to go, when Blaine would growl out: "Boy, where are you going?" jAnd then the kid "would t tremble. One morning early the Secretary's .bell rang, and one of the colored chaps hastened to answer it. Mr. Blaine was in his night robe, walking the floor and running nis hands through his hair, while in deep thought and afvidently worried about some thing. The bell boy was prettv badly scared and expected to get a lively blast. All at once Mr. TJlaine stopped, and plac ing his hand on the kid's shoulder, said in his best voice: "Boy, don't you ever be Secretary of State.'' The boy with his yes rolling in fright replied: '"Deed I won't,, Mr. Blaine. 'Deed I won't." "Walker Blaine was a great help to his father, and did much to' smooth out his nerves on busy days. He had great tact, and kept tiresome people away from the Secretary. He misses "Walker and grieves a great deal over his untimely death. A CITY TBY5T. The Crowded Corner of Smltlifield and Fifth In Keqnest With levers. "I had occasion to wait at the corner of Smithfield street and Fifth avenue for some thing like an hour this evening, "said George Hibberd last night, "and I was astonished to find what a trysting place for lovers that crowded corner is. -The corner I mean is the one outside the Pennsylvania Bailroad ticket office. "While I was standing there if one couple met at that point there must have been 20 at least in less than GO min utes, or one couple for every three minutes. As a rule after .they met they remained in conversation, more or less tender, right in the main channel of the extraordinary traffic, for five or ten minutes. They generally appeared to care nothing for the buffets and abuse impeded pedestrians bestowed .upon them, and when they moved away went because they wanted to and out of no consideration for others' desires. "One pair particularly interested me for two reasons; in the first place, she was very young, and as pretty a girl as you'll see even in Pittsburg in a day, and in the sec ond, he was as old and ugly as I hope I shall never be. Yet they were, I pledge you my word, the most affectionate couple I saw the whole evenine, and they blocked the sidewalk until the very in frequent policeman observed them and re quested them to move on. I suppose the spot is only in request as a trysting place on Saturday evenings, when the crowd is so great that it affords as much concealment to lovers as a dense wood or a dark night in the country." PLAIHT OF A CONDUCTOR. A Pullman Man Kicks on 'White Tests and Heavy Clothes. "It would be a humane act to allow the Pullman conductors to dress in neglige shirts during the summer," remarked one of the men who run the limited last evening. He was dressed in faultless manner in a suit of blue, with a stiffly-starched white vest, and a high collar encircled his neck and made exist ence miserable. The buttons on his clothes were polished, and lie looked much like a captain of militia on dress parade. This white vest," he continued, "is a nnisance. If I try to bend over it interferes with me, and it is'hotter than awoolen coat. We are Instructed to keen it buttoned,-and hiring the hot weather it is very disagree able. I am alw ays glad when we reach the Alleehcny Mountains. "It was very cool coming, over this even ing. In many of the New York business houses I notice that the owners are very liberal. They allow their clerks to dress in comfortable fashion, and all they ask is that they be neat and clean. The men wear neglige shirts and the women light pretty waists. "The russet shoe is also very popular in the metropolis, and nearly everybody in Xew York wears them. There is nothing like being comfortable during the hot weather. In that city the business hours are short, which makes it pleasant for em ployes ana employer. EXCURSIONS THIS WEEK. The Season Opens to Atlantic City IiOir Bates for the Fourth. The excursion season proper will open this week with the first excursion to At lantic City on the B. & O. road on July 2. All sorts of low rates will be offered about the Fourth by all the roads. The B. & O. has made a half rate to Minneapolis be tween July 9 and 12 for the benefit of the Christian Indeavor.Society, which holds its annual meeting there this year. The same rate is offered to Hagerstown for the con vention of wheelmen between July 2 and 4. The usual excursion trains to Ohio Pyle will be run by the Baltimore and Ohio "on the Fourth. The Teutonia Singing Society, of Alle gheny, will leave for Newark in a special train'over the Baltimore and Ohio July 2. The rate has been fixed at $10 50 for the round trip, and Henry Stockman, of the Northside, has charge of the tickets. He said yesterday that at least 400 people will co. It is the annual sintrinir contest of the German singing societies, and is an event of more tnan usual interest to leutons. A LOUISVILLE BEER SIGN. How a Southern Saloon Man Reminds His Customers, to Fay Cash. "Louisville is noted for many things," said a Pittsburger yesterday who had just returned from a river trip to that city, "but the principal, I believe, are whisky, tobacco and horses. It is also considered a town of some educational importance. I went into a saloon there not long ago 'to get a drink of beer when this sign in big blackrletters con fronted me: To trust Is to bust, j And to bust Is Hades. No trust, so hust; No hust, , No Hades. "I laughed, laid down my nickel and walked out. I suppose this is not a fair sample of their educational attainments, but if it keeps the old German's customers from asking for tick the rhyme was not produced in vain." TIME TO PLANT TBEES. An Observer Advises That They Be Fnt in the Ground In the Fall. "The best time to plant trees," said Prin cipal Jacobs, of the Blind School, yester day, "is in the fall. During the win ter the ground settles around the roots, and the tree gets ready to grow in the spring. If the tree is put in in the spring, the weather is uncertain, it may be dry during the summer, and the chances are it will die. "I remember the trustees of the blind school in Indianapolis some years ago de cided to plant a number of trees. They laughed at me when I recommended the fall as the best time. The first year the trees bloomed all right, but when the next one came around few of them put forth leaves. They had died in the meantime." ' Excursion to Atlantic City. On next Thursday, July 2, via the B. & O. B. B. Bate $10 the round trip; tickets good for ten days. Secure your parlor and sleeping car tickets early. fc-s-THE- SPORTS IN THE SBH. East End Athletes Dedicate Their New Gymnastic Club Grounds. SEVERAL INTERESTING EYENTS. No Eecords Are Broken, but Some Tery Cred itable Work Ib Shown. ' FULL DETAIL OP THE DAI'S EXERCISES The East End Gymnastic Club held its first field day yesterday under very favora ble conditions. If ordered in advance the weather could not'have proved better suited to the occasion, though it must be admitted a trifle less of heat would have suited the athletes just as welt The sun shone out of a clear sky that had ne'er a cloud in it, but a soft breeze that blew across the grounds in a measure modified the effects of his too powerful rays. Save for the shelter afforded by several tall shade trees which looked down upon the inclosure from without the fence, there was no protection for the visit ors, of whom, though not as numerous as had been expected, there was a fair attend ance, with a goodly sprinkling of the fair sex. These occupied a stand adjacent to the finishing post, and sheltered themselves, as best they might, with sunshades. Dur ing the afternoon many other visitors drove onto the ground in buggies, and before the ball game commenced there was a fair audi- .ence on the spot. An Expected Boom in Athletics. It is expected that this meeting, the first of a monthly series which will be held until the close of the season, will give the clnb the zest and encouragement it needs. Though the membership numbers 300, not more than 30 or 40 men take an interest in the athletic end of the institution. With opportunities within the club of extending interest in out-of-door sports, it is regarded as surprising that the Gymnastic club has not succeeded in attracting more men of athletic bent than it has. The field day yesterday is expected to furnish good re sults in this direction. The management has decided not to give prizes for each occa sion, but the men with the best records at the end of the season will receive valuable acknowledgment of their prowess. Prof. Kirchner acted as clerk of the course yesterday and it was not his fault that the various events were brough oft with more of lost time than was necessary or desirable. W. A. Stanton was referee; D. Sheehan, starter; J.A.Weels, H. Henry, Jr., J. Davies and E. C. McQuiston acted as judges; James Gardner, Jr., J. C Moore, and "W. H. Hastings as timers, and A. G. Bireland announced the various events, which were as follows: Detailed List of the Events. Proceedings were commenced at 1:15 o'clock by a contest at hammer throwing. J. B. McKennan flung the iron 61 feet, Ad dison Boren being next with 59 feet 4 inches and A. Jarrett third with 55 feet 2 inches. Putting the shot was the next item, A. Jarrett winning with a distance of 29 feet 11 inches. H. C. Fry was second with 29 feet and J. B. McKennan third with 28 feet 1 inches. The 100-yards dash was run in two heats, H. C. Fry winning the first and G. M. Laughlin, Jr., the second. The deciding heat was carried off by Laughlin, and rather easily, in ivy. seconds, rrv was second, Jarrett third" and C. S. "Miller fourth. Becord, 9.00 4-5. Four contestants out of six entries came to the scratch for the one-mile bicycle race. E. E. Kehen and J. E. Duff, were first away, closely followed by W. Ady and L. il Stewart. This order was maintained for the first two laps, when Stewart dropped away and Addv on entering the third lap forged ahead. Duff w as going well, but half way around the third lap was upset in the most stupid manner by an employe of the grounds who ran his rake in his path. Duff got off again, but could not get near Addy, who won a good race in 3 minutes 48 seconds, Kehen being second. Becord, 2:43. An Interesting linn of a Mile. Of five entered for the one-mile run four toed the scratch. J. McGrew got away with a good start, but was quickly over hauled by J. Davis and C. G. Keenan.while W. L. Watt failed to draw near the leaders and was never in the race. This order was maintained until well on to the concluding lap when, about half way around, McGrew i drew away with a 20-yard lead and was never caught, winning easily by 30 yards from Davis, who was separated by 20 yards from ICeenan. Watt gave up on the second lap. Time, 5 minutes 8 seconds. Becord, 424 4-5. The 220-yards dash was billed to be run in two heats, but as only five runners out of 13 entered put in an 'appearance it was decided in one. Laughlin again showed fine speed and won by three yards from Fry, with A. Jarrett, Addison Boren and E. D. Batchelor well up in a bunch. Time, 2GJ seconds. Becord, 22 1-5. The hop, step and jump contest brought out all the men entered but one. In the first heat D. D. DuBarry cleared 34 feet 2 inohes; C. S. Miller, 38 feet 10 inches; J. B. McKennan, 39 feet 7 inches; Addison Boren, 36 feet 8 inches; A. Jarrett made a foul. In the next heats DuBarry came up to 37 feet, and Boren to 37 feet 3 inches. McKennan won, with Miller second and Boren third. There were three contestants for the half mile bicycle race. W. Addy got the best of the start, with J. E. Duff next and E. E. Kehen in close pursuit. This order was maintained until 300 yards from home, when Duff fell and Addy came away winning easily from Kehen. Not a Bit of Trouble to "Win. G. Collins. J. McGrew, Addison Boren, S. Middleton and H. C. Fry toed the line for the 440, yards dash, out of 11 men entered. Fry got a little the best of the o'thers at the pistol shot, and was never overtaken, win ning easily from Collins, second, and Mid dleton third. McGrew dropped off. Time, 58 seconds. Becord, 50 seconds. The running broad jump followed, with J. B. McKennan, D. D. DuBarry and C. S. Miller out for the honors. McKennan led with 18 feet, DuBarry cleared 17 feet 4 inches, and Miller-covered 18 feet 1 inch. DuBarry made a foul in the next attempt, and subsequently reached 18 feet 1 inch. McKennan added another 6 inches to his score, while Miller put on 9 inches and won with 18 feet 10 inches. Becord, 23 feet 3J inches. H. C. Fry got well away once more at the start for the 120-yards hurdle race, winning by several yards from D. D. DuBarry. J. B. McKennan and Addison Boren were close up in the order named. Time, 21 sec onds. Becord, 16 seconds. The spectators seemed to take more inter est in the running high jump than in any preceding event. The contestants were Du Barry, Boren, Miller and McKennan. Each man's style as he tripped up to the bar and popped over was closely watched, and any peculiarities conspicuous in the men created interest as the bar was raised notch by notch, McKennan's style was very pretty. He reached the bar in three or four slow strides and popped over, half turning as he landed. Miller advanced with more of a run and cleared theVbstacle with his feet well drawn up under him. DuBarry waa strong jumper, while Boren's peculiar hop as he measured the distance to the takeoff evoked a smile from the ladies who were not initiated into the mysteries of athletic training. Another itecord That Wasn't Broken. One or two fouls were made, but after ward redeemed until Miller cleared 5 feet 2 inches, a height that was Just beyond the others. DuBarry and Boren tied for second place with 5 feet 1 inch. Becord, 5 feet 10yi inches. H. C Fry nulled off another victory in tl OOfl-TMirHa littrdltt yinn nrlnnini. FrrtTTl McKennan in 31f seconds. C. S. Miller PIK:SBTJE&' - DIBIlATGJH, - - had a yard place when he felL Becord, 22 1-5 seconds. This event brought the time up to a point, 4 o'clock, when the grounds had to be given over ,to the ball game. Accordingly the remaining events, the two-mile bicycle and half-mile run, were postponed until evening. The ball game between the home team and the Climax Club apparently had more interest-in it for the friends and supporters of the Gymnastic club than the trials of strength an'd skill in the pure ath letics which had gone before. From 3:30 o'clock, onward, visitors arrived in goodly crowds, and when the game was called, at 4 o'clock, there were ovr 1,000 people on the ground. The result of the game will be found in another column. MANIA FOB STEALING BIDES. Pennsylvania Detectives Kept Busy Keeplnc Tramps OfTTralns. "We are bothered a great deal this sum mer by people stealing rides on passenger trains," said Special Agent Hampton Houghton, of the Pennsylvania road, last evening. "It is worse this year than it has been for a long time, and L suppose the numerous strikes are resposible to a large extent A great many people try to beat a ridewho are able to pay. It got to be quite a practice for them to jump on the fast line at East Liberty. They would hide on the bumpers between the baggage cars, and then get off where they desired. I put some detectives there to watch, and as soon as one boards the train he is arrested. It is surprising how many we have caught at this station lately. "Last week I was at New Florence with a squad loqking for people riding on the trams. A gang from Johnstown was in the habit of going out there to swim, and they always worked for a free ride. Thatdayl5 of them happened to be on the train, and when they saw us they made a break to get away. They rau through the.jriver and crossed the hills beyond, but we managed to capture five." Lively Times Promised To-SIorrow. Both branches of Councils will meet to morrow for the last time until September. The ordinance for the fire boat, water tower and underground wires will come up. It is also expected that the Mayor will veto the poor farm ordinance, but it is understood that it will be passed over his head. An ordinance will also be introduced regulating the driving of cattle over the East End streets. Thornton Bros.

Judge Slagle "Won't "Uphold Decoy Telegrams EronrDeteetives. NOT HIS WAT OP DOING BUSINESS. The Fitzsimmons Gang to Be Arraigned To-JIorrow for Burglary. GLEANINGS FROM THE COMTI COURTS Judge Slagle made rather short work of the family squabbles presented for consider ation yesterday. The husband of Ellen Carey, of the Fourteenth ward,, was ordered to pay her 7 50 per week until further order. The next case was one out of the usual order which has already been noted. Mrs. E. A. Hudson testified that her hus band, James E. Hudson.hadleft her a couple of years ago and. had not contributed to the support of herself and family, as she thought he should have done. She thought he ought to earn ?100 a month, if on his mettle. Mr. Hudson said he had not deserted his family, but had done all he was able for his wife and children. He said he had been working at Alton and various other places in Illinois, and had sent home till he made after his own absolute necessities had been provided, but that last winter he had an attaok of "the lay-grippe," and lay in bed for a con siderable time in consequence, and was un able to make his usual remittances, his in come during convalescence being during some weeks not above 52 50. Decoy Telegrams Not In Favor. He then handed the Judge a telegram sent him by one of the daughters, informing him that his wife was dead. He came home and was arrested on his arrival, and put into durance, as related in The Dispatch f a the time. The Judge scrutinized the tele gram, ana hskcu wiueii oi um uuujjuivin present had sent it, and the girl showed up. The Court then remarked something to the effect that Mrs. Hudson had forfeited her claim to relief by her brilliant strategy, and proceeded to assess her with the costs, and dismissed the prisoner. Mrs. Hudson departed for the office to "pay the freight." Sarah Noonan showed un, but her hus band, Michael, didn't, and his recognizance was forfeited. Annie Wunderlich stated that her hus band, who is a cigarmakcr, refused to sup port her or take her away from her mother, and that she was obliged to stay under the parental roof. Mr. Wunderlich was asked to state his side of the story, and said that the reason he did not support Annie was that he had discovered she had been -married before, and that her first husband was still in the flesh. Further, that she had boasted that "the Dutchman would be obliged to support her anyhow." The Court informed Mr. Wunderlich that he had his remedy at law, and that if Mrs. Wunderlich was supporting two husbands he could get a divorcebut this question could not De inquired into in the Quarter Sessions, so ad interim he must put up ?3 a week for Annie and give' 5300 bail to insure performance.
