Insaltnilriing Where Carpenters Are Work ing Goes Through Their Pockets, Yesterday afternoon some carpenters who jcere at work on a house on the corner of St. Clair and Rippey streets, East End, were made the victims of a sneak thief. The men while at work hung their coats up, and about 5 o'clock someone entered the build- ingand took from the pockets two pocket bopks containing small sums of inonej . A young man, Samuel Ivaullman, was sub sequent! arrested on suspicion of having committed the theft, and was placed in the Nineteenth ward station. Otercoine by the Heat.

TRAPPEDTHE TIGER, Inspector McAleese Cleans Out a Suite of Elegant Faro Parlors on Diamond Street, EALFASQUAEEFROMTHE CENTRAL The Bank Well Backed and It Was Ei- "pected to Run Successfully During the Week of the Baces. A SILENT STRAXGERIIAUNTSCITYHALL. Jfewsy Matters-of Interest Collected About mtebunj and Allegheny. A beautiful tiger had its claws clipped last night. Inspector McAleese ran dow n the -finest gambling place operated in Pittsburg for many j ears. Last night sir men, charged with running the outfit, were given rooms In Central station. When raided two faro tables and one roulette outfit were in opera tion, and half a. hundred men were par ticipating in the three games. The outlay was of the very best, being worth nltogethei not less than $2,000. The most surprising part of the affair was its location, within 200 feet of Central police station, where the proprietors were carrying it on as if there were no police within a mile. But any de lusive ideas they may have entertained weie promptly dispelled by Inspector McAleese, who, when he got the first inkling of the game, began an investigation. He was as sisted by Detecties Conlson, Itobinson, Fitzgerald and Bcndel, and soon had all the evidence ho needed. Balded Early in the Evening. Last evening the Inspector went before Magistrate Gnpp and made informations against M. Cornelius, Sam Shore, J. G. Croghan, William Beid, John Blake and John Bobbins. The warrants were soon after served, and at 10 o'clock the place was closed. Alow days ago a barber shop was opened at No. 52 Diamond street, and the whole building, which is a three-story brick, was rented. Preparations were at once begun for fixing up the second story in palatial style. Windows were cleaned, blinds put in, floors weie handsomely covered, and last of all came several queer looking tables, spintedMn by the hack way. Then the three rooms were fitted with electric lights and the outfit was complete. The plan was to run one week, during which time, if all went as expected, a rich harvest would be reaped. The plate would eaten a large amount oi outsiae iraue at tracted here during the week bj the races at Homewood. At the closo of the week those In charge would closo the place and move to other fields. All this would hae gone well, but for one thing the vigilance of the Inspector of the First district, which had evidently been forgotten by those who planned the affair. Only One Day in Business. The place was opened Monday night, and games were kept going until daj light. Tlio news of a new gambling shop on the gilt edged plan spread like quicksilver over the city to the cars of the numerous worsnipors of the game of chance. Before the night was over every thing was going smoothly, with as many patrons capable of losing handsomely as could be desired. Last night there were ex pectations of a big crowd, and they were fulfilled. During the early part of the even ing Inspector McAleese sat at Central sta tion and watched dozons of well-known characters go by on thdir way to Xo. 52. To the unsuspecting it looked as if the birber shop was doing an excellent night busiucss, but tlie Inspector knew better. At 10 o'clock the Inspector, with Captain Dan Silvis and Detectives Coulson, Fitzger ald and Robinson walked leisurelv down the street. At the entrance of No. 52 they met J. G. Croghan, alias "Jimmy the Crab,'' who hails from Cleveland. The Inspector de manded the key to the plaoe, and when Croghan refused to deliver it, he was Jiroinptlv arrested and sent up to the station louse. The three detectives then walked up into the gambling rooms. The Festive Tiger in Its Lair. All three tables were surrounded by an excited crowd who paid no attention to the officers, although they were known to almost every person in the room. One or two greeted the detectives with a "Good evening," and then turned to give the tiger one more poke in the ribs, inch of the detectUes stepped to a table. The one at which Do tectn e Fitzgerald stood was presided over by William Reed "We want j ou, Billy," said the detective. "O. I cue-s not," replied Billy, ccol as a cucumber, "not this week; come next." The other faro table was presided over by John Blake, alias "Diamond Jolmnj," who only smiled and winked at Detective Coul son when the latter told him to get ready and come along without any fooling. "Buck" Cornelius was holding state at the roulotte table, and Detectne Robinson had some trouble in making him realize he was not joking. "Come on," said the officer. "Come off," said "Buck," as he turned his attention to the game. When at lust the 50 men in the rooms be gan to realize that the detectives meant business there was a .grand rush for the door. But nobody was big enough to get past the Captain, who held them all in until it was decided what to do. Tlie detectives onrj had warrants for those who w eie running the game, so all the plajeis were allowed to "cash in" their chips and depait, which thej did quickly. The proprietors were all marched to the station house and locked up. One of the latter had $23,000 in his pocket. A Tiger With BeauUfnl Skin. The outfit was one of the finest ever seen in Pittsburg, even in the palmy days of old, when "everything went." One gentleman well versed in such matters on looking at the roulette outfit said it could scarcely be surpassed outside of Monte Carlo Half a Dnshel of chips, at least a hundred of them worth 50 cents each, being of solid ivorv, beautifully carved, deposited in tlie sife at Central station, with sev eral German silver dealing boxes and other fixings of equal value. The scene around Central station after the raid w as quite lively. Scoies ot men were there eager to furnish forfeits for the six prisoners and clamoring against some unnamed individual whomthej said had misrepresented things. Tlie Inspector w ould release nobody lor less than $1,000 bail. A numbci of friends of the imprisoned men w ere indignant o er the raid. They claimed that permission had been given them to run the place for one week, during the races, without molestation. The au thority , they said, came from a prominent police official. Inspector McAleese said he knew of no such bargain, and he was merely doing his duty, as he always proposed to do. MABTUT FABBELL WILL BEC0VEB. He Enters Suit Against His Wife for At tempted Murder. Martin Fairell, who, it is claimed, was poisoned by his wife on Sunday last, was somewhat better yesterdaj , ana it is now thought that he will recover. Yesterday Farrell sent for Alderman Rohc and entered suit against his wife, Lizzie Fan ell, for at tempted murder Farrell alleges that his wile not onlj put the pans green In the beer bottle, but handed him the doc tored beer to drink.

Anglers Eeport That bat Very Few of Them Were Caught. The season for trout fishing in Pennsyl vania ends to-day. Though it has been open since May 15, but lew of the fish of this species have been disturbed by the nnglers.

She had been there for some time undergoing treatment lor a tumor of the abdomen.

Sawyer and of Miss Mamie Sawyer, the violinist. For some years she has been Fast National President of the Ladies of the G. A. K. STUCK ON THE STEPS. A Silent Stranger "With a Peculiar Faiclna- tion for City Hall Causes Considerable Comment Lost His Mind From Drink Last FaU. City Hall is haunted not by white-robed spirits, but by a plain human being with a wheel loose in his head. Persons having occasion to pass municipal headquarters several times a day have noticed for a week past a man about 45 years old sitting silently on the steps. To all appearances he scarcely ges nway front hi9post long enough to get something to cat, and there has been con siderable speculation as to how he manages to exist. Inspector McAleese endeavored to solve the mystery last e ening by asking the man why he persisted in sitting .there. The reply he got was: "This is a strange part of the world, if a man cannot sit where he pleases, if he dis turbs nobodv." "Bnt what is your object in remaining here so long?" asked the inspector. "Sinipl because I want to," replied the strange Indbidual. "Then, again, I have found nobodj' with authority enough to make me stay away, which is as good a reason as j ou should desire." "Well," said the inspector, "you had bet ter not come around here much more or I'll have you locked up " "You'll have to lock me up then," was the reply, and the stranger tipped back his slouch hat and looked straight at the in spector with a vacant, wandering stare, which revealed the secret of his actions at once. "Why do you disturb me?" he contin ued. "It seems to me I have as much right to stay around City Hall as Magee, Flinn and McKnight. You can arrest me if jouwant to, but as soon as I get out I will come back here and sit down. In this free countrv if a man can't sit where he pleases. Just tell mo what ho can do?" The man is John Rourke. For many years he was emploj ed by Booth & Flinn. lie was nlw aj s considered of ordinary intelligence, and worked hard until last fafl. when a rela tive died and left him about $700. When the money came Rourke quit work and for sev eral w eeks he celebrated his relative's death by keeping gloriously drunk. Soberness re mained stranger to him until the money ga o out, and then it w as found he had lost his mind. The first evidence of his 'demented con dition was his great attachment to City Hall steps. Ho would go and take his position there and all the entreaties of friends could not get him away. After ono or two short sittings he apparently settled down on the steps lor life, and is said to have remained there 36 hours without moving away once to got food. Through the efforts of some frionds, in cluding James Booth of Booth & Flinn, he was sent to the Dixmont insane asylum. How he got away from there his friends have not yet learned, but lie has been about the city for almost a week. Rourke seems to have a peculiar affection for the big stone steps at night. Since Friday last he has spent every night theie. Earl in the evening he takes his position there and sits until daylight comes in the morning. In most cases ho de clines to talk to those w ho address him. Mr. Booth saj she has at times become very violent and is a dangerous man to leave at large. What the police will do is not de cided yet. It is probable, however, that he will be sent back to Dixmont. A BOOM JOB BEINHATJER. The Southslde Alderman to Be a Candidate for Mayor. A number of Southslde citizens are mak ing preparations toput up a candidate for tho next Mayor of Pittsburg. Alderman Beinhauer, of tho Twenty-ninth ward, is the person chosen by these Southslders who are ambitious to have the next Mayor of the city come from their side of the town.

Carpenters Make Inquiriesas to How Strike Money Was Spent. THE-BKOTHERHOODIS OUT AHEAD. D. B. Oliver Signed the Amalgamated Scale for Moorhead, Bro. & Co. HISCELLAKEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS The carpenters of this district have been considerably stirred up within the last day or two over a statement that has been made in the official organ of the brotherhood to the effect that $13,000 was sent to Pittsburg during the recent strike. E. A. Holmes, who has been acquitted of all charges brought against him through his local union for having participated in placing tho condition of the brotherhood bofore the public during the strike, has discovered something new.'Previous to May 1 there was less than $3,1)00 in the treas ury of the brotherhood. The current num bor'of The Carpenter states that a total of $26,303 45 was paid to unions on strike or locked out from May 7 to June 80 As it was impossible for the brotherhood to have that mnch money of its own, Mr. Holmes has a theory that the amounts paid as strike ben efits from the funds of local unions are cred ited as coming from the general fund. What Mr. Holmes Has to Say. Mr. Holmes was seen yesterday and while he was disinclined to talk, he referred to the financial condition of the brotherhood, which he thought was sufficiently snggcsttve of ho w matters had been handled during the strike. "In the first place," said he, "thev did not sond $13,000 here, because they did not have it. They did send $5,003 in two equal amounts at different times. The other $8,000 was paid out by local unions. But notice how nicely the brotherhood comes out of the fight financially. They loan the strike fund $7,000 nearly every dollar in their treasury. They receive by a special assessment a loan from the American Federation of La bor and other sources of $25,362 81. They paid out for stnkes $28,308 45, leaving a bal ance 'due the general fund' of $6,054 36 The brotherhood is not out much through the long fight." Ex-Agent Irwin was also seen yesterday, and he said that while the national organi zation of the brotherhood had not lost muoh monej, tho local unions had, and they would do the suffering. Mr. Irwin has also been acquitted by his union of the charges bi ought against him for publicly declaring that the Planing Mill Association had done the proper thing in refusing to gmntshorter hours. Mr. Ii win said: Hard to Hold Together. "Tho leaders will have a very difficult time holding the unions together. Union No. 603 has about decided to give up their charter. Of course, the constitution says that no union shall be dissolved so long as ton membors object, but what will ten do as against 150 to 175 who want to leavo the brotherhood? At tho last meeting a majority voted to leave the brotherhood and they will form an Independent organization of their own. Some other unions will do the same." Commenting on the failure of the building trades stnke in the deminds for shorter hours,P. T.Maguire says this week in his offi cial organ: "Where defeats have been encountered they wore due to a variety of causes, prin cipally to a wont of preparation beforehand and to lack of attention to the necessary and essential details in thoroughly uniting the men and in canvassing the bosses and men carefully prior to the strike and in fail ing to ascertain the oxact situation before entering into the strike. Many of the pro longed strikes which have occurred in the carpenter trade, and which have called for the expenditure of large sums of money from our treasury and have brought gicat sacrifices to the- men, could be avoided were a policy of diplomatic conciliition and business like negotiation adopted bj- the men as well as tho bosses. Why Strikes Are Often Disastrous. "Too often strikes are rushed into frant ically and enthusiastically, even with nil the backing of large numbers and a good treasury, and yot end in woful disaster. And all because the necessary preliminaries' to insure success are disregarded. The sheer force of numbers on the side of the w orkmen or the display of an arrogant bul lying manner, backed up by blun,' are not the sole essentials to ain success in strikes. Too often this only begets a corresponding spirit of resistance and hostility from the employers." The general Executive Board is now in session in Philadelphia and it is likely that a committee w 111 be sent to Pittsburg to in quire into the cause ot the defeat of the movement here. President Kliver told a DisrATCn reporter two weeks ago that he would come himself, but it Is expected now that a committee will come. QUIET AT DUQTJESNE. The Dispute Over the Scale at Moorhead Bro. & Co.'s Drought to a Close. Tho strikers at Duquesne are firm as ever and are' determined not to give in. The w orks are quiet and show no signs of any work being done inside. It is rumored that some of them have left and will try for work in other places. Vice President Garland returned yester day from the West, whore he has been for a few days organizing new lodges of the Amalgamated Association. The dispute at the Sharpsburg mill has turned outjust as predicted by The Dispatch v old of any apparent intention on tho part of Moorhead, Bro & Co. to fight the organi zation. According to Mr. Weihe, Sir. Moorhead was present at the meeting of the Conference Committee when a motion was passed empow ering D. B. Oliver to sign the scale for all present.

FACTS ABOUT DOGS AND THEIR DAIS Owing to the grand rush of anxious dog owers at the police stations, Chief Brown has decided to extend the time for licensing canines until Saturday. Of course, licenses will begranted after that day and can be secured at any time during the year, but after Saturday tho owner of an unlicensed canine is liable to prosecution and subjects his pet to great risk. The pound master will begin operations early Monday morning. It dogs could read, the vagrant curs of high and low degree. Tray, Blanche and Sweet heart would all tremble with apprehension, for from Monday forth dogs found without a collar and metnl tag from the Department of Public Safety are liable to be ciughtnnd Impounded, and if their owners haven't love enough for them to get a license and collar they are not likely to pay the higher price demanded by the pound keeper, and out of the pound there ts no redemption, ex cept by the owner. The provisions of the ordinance follow: Where Licenses Are to Be Had. A license must be gotten from the Depart ment of Public Safety; males are taxed tl and females $2 per annum, and a license 'must be taken out for each and every dog kept, which license must be renewed the first day of May next; each dog must wear about its neck a collar with a metal tag or plate, having thereon the number of the license; every unlicensed cur submits hia owner or her owner to a fine of $5, and the finding of the dog without the tag makes a prima facie case against the owner; un licensed dogs will be arrested and im pounded, and if not claimed within 48 hours die the death of a dog, and to get the animal out costs 50 cents for each day imprisoned, or fraction thereof. Any person not the owner of the dog, who shall remove the metal plate or tag from a dog s neok, may be fined $10 to $50, or be imprisoned 50 days; thin punishment additional to that provided for larceny. The police stations were crowded yester day with applicants for license to save tho lives of their beloved "purps" and the scenes were pathetic or otherwise, according to the angle of observation. The officials were no respecters of dogs and the lordly mastiff or Great Dane fared no better than the mongrel cnr. They aie all dogs and must wear collars. One very pretty girl seemed afraid to trust her dog at home while she came for his license, so earned him in her arms. Dog Days Dogging the Dogs. It seems that the dog, the one sentient being that never went back on his master from and long before the time of Ulysses to tho presont, has by his devotion failed to earn recognition beyond that of the rattle snake and the Gila monster, and the early sacerdotal and Oriental prejudice against him seems incapable of being wiped out by devotion and affection. The dies canlcular les are still penitential seasons with him, the idea arising out of a superstition of the ancients, and yet it is probable that the an nual slauzhtor is a blessincr in disguise to dogs who are nnfortunate enough to come into this vale of tears without accredited owners. Though one would supDose it would be a survival of the fittest, yet vagrant curs, like the poor, are always with ns, and we do not accord to thorn the sen lte of scavengers allowed by the Orientals, with whom they are still regarded as nnclean. At the last meeting of the State Medical Society inquiry was made of the pbysiciaus in attendance If anyone had evor in his practice had a case of hydrophobia, and all except one aged doctor promptly responded that he never had and this one only went so far as to say that he had once seen a man foaming at tho mouth and was afraid of water, and his case was supposed to be hvdiophobia, but he would not vouch for the truthfulness of the diagnosis. Hydrophobia Cases Very Bare. Men and the lower animals nre subject to fits, during which they foam at the mouth, and though everyone has heard or read of hydrophobia, it seems that attested cases are very rare. Yet tlie dog suffers because the rncients believed in the lati tude of the Mediterranean Sea that when Slrins rose with the sun in the heat of summer the weather was unwholesome ana it was attributed to a malign influenoe exercised by this star. The heliacal rising does not now take place until August 10, when tho great heat of summer is over, and dog days are now fixed by some almanac makers Detween tho 21th of July and 24th of August and by others between July 8 ana August 11. Even In ancient times the seasons were somewhat mixed, some ascribing the evil influence to Cannis Major and others to Cannis Minor, so it Isn't safo to trust either bisr or little dogs the lordly St. Bernard or the diminutive lap dog. As the heliacal rising of the dog star has become somewhat indefinite owing to tho procession of the equinoxes it does not occur until August 10. Still, the supeistltion prevails, and dogs are still under the ban, and charged in modern times with the evils that glow out of a malarial atmosphere. Unfortunate for the Dogs. The dog is thus almost as nnfortunate as ho was in the days of St. Paul, who, in tlio third chapter of the epistle to the Phillip pians, charges them to beware of dog, of evil workers and of the concision. Some prudent mothers do not allow their children to go swimming in dog day, and some gardeners will not allow cabbage to be hoed in this season lest they become lousy. No mitter what weight you attach to superstitions, if you have a dog you prize you had better get him registered and licensed and stand not on the order, as though every dog has his day, it is certain that this day has come in Pittsburg. Ninety-nine dog licenses were issued yes terday from the Seventeenth ward police station. Since the issue commenced over 600 licenses have been given from that sta tion. A Pretty Play Well Put On.
