The arrests were the result of a whole night's work on the part of In spector McAleese and Coroner McDowell. "When 3IcCl3rren died at the Homeopathic Hospital, Thursday morning, all the cir cumstances obtainable, were that lie had been intoxicated the nighi before and had fallen against a fireplug at Third avenue and SmitKfield street and cut his head peverely. There were some rumors to the effect that a man had struck him, 'lint they were apparently without foundation. Several detectives investi . gated the case Thursday, but could find no proof of foul play. At 1 o'clock yesterday ""znorning Inspector McAleese was roused out of bed by a telephone message from the Coroner to the effect that he had learned positively that McClarren had been struck by somebody, and at the time was in com pany with some members of the Brooklyn 'VBase Ball Club. The Inspector and Cor joner drove down town together and spent 'the remainder ot the night at work on the case. IJrecn's Story of the Affair. At daylight they had Breen and Bostwick .-Tinder arrest.

The latter did not know EIcClarren but Bostwick introduced them. On being introduced McClarren remarked to Breen: "I don't like your face." "All right," replied Breen; "then don't Cultivate my acquaintance." Breen then turned to talk to the other jjentlenicn, but McClarren kept interrupting iim. Tinally Breen turned and said: "You keep quiet, will you? I am talking to these srentlemen. McClarren flushed up. '"You're a ," but he never got time to finish the sentence, for Breen struck him on the' face. McClar ren reeled and felL The others, thinking it was all from the effects of intoxication, "walked away. McClarren was picked up later and removed to the hospital, where he died. A "Well-Known Local llartender. .Times Breen is well known about Pitts burg, having been connected with several lotcls. His last position was at the St. Charle-, where he was bartender.

They will be given a hearing ttiis morning. A NET FOB STBAT DOGS. Snperlntendent "Weir Adopts a Plan for Capturing Unlicensed Canine. The system of dog catching has been fully decided upon by Superintendent Gamble "Weir, of the Police Bureau. He has adopted the system in use in Philadelphia, where the Humane Society takes charge of the dogs captured and kills those not re claimed. Under this system each dog catcher is supplied with a net woven of strong cotton cords and attached to an iron hoop with a handle. The net is nbout 4'f feet deep and bell shaped. "When a dog is to be captured the catcher gets within throwing distance and throws the net over him. He then quickly upsets the net and the dog is in the bottom, hope lessly entangled and ready for the cage on a wagon accompanying the catcher. One wagon has been furnished with a cage, capable of holding from 20 to 30' dogs. It will probably be sufficient for all re quirements. As soon as the wagon is filled it will make a trip to the pound and re turn emptv for more victims. It has been decided th'at next Monday and Tuesday will be detoted by the dog catchers to gathering up dogs whose owners do not care to pay lor licenses and would rather have the brutes put out of the way. The police are instructed to report all such to the various station houses to-morrow and on Monday the wagon will go around and gather them in. It is the intention, after the first few days, for each of the threelpoliccjdistricts to have n separate day in each week for dog catching. This will simplify the work of the wagon'and pound master.

Applicants for a Charter at ConneautvlIIe Receive a Threatening tetter It Acts Like a Boomerang More Names Are Added. State Councilo' Collins, of the Jr. O. U. A. M., had an interesting experience, this week. A few weeks ago an application for a charter for a council of the order was received from Conneantville, an enterprising little town in Crawford county, containing the names of 51 of the fore most citizens of the place. The work of or ganizing the council was pushed forward, and it promised to be one of the most bril liant additions to the organization made dur ing the present term. "When Mr. Collins went to ConneautvlIIe to institute the councii, he found the appli cants all in a state of excitement and fear. Somehow the names of 50 out of the 51 applicants had been obtained and each one had received the following letter: Cokkeautville, Pa. Mr. Dear Sir We have learned with regret that your name has been presented formem bership in the new secret older being or ganized here, viz the Jr. O. U. A. M. Do you know itsaimandobject? Are you acquainted with Its sinister purposes? We believe not. It is one. of the most bitter anti-Catbolic organizations in the land to-day. It would deny to our Catholic fellow-citizens tho right to hold any office of trust or emolument, or to have any voic.i in the management of our local, State or national affairs, while paying taxes to support these same institutions. It is nothing more or less than an offspring of Orangelsm, and it is entirely un-American, bigoted and intolerant to the last degree. Overzealous advocates of tho order like W. V. Alford, a man whose character and repu tation are a good deal below par in every community in which ho has live!, will prob ably deny the above statements, but don't believe what they tell you. Investigate for yourself. Get a copy of the official organ of tho order and road it through. We think that you will bo convinced that no fair minded man, no young man, and especially, no business man. can afford to join any such organization. We advisoyouto withdraw before it is too late. "Forewarned is fore armed." JLuit Citizens, The members instituted a quiet investi gation and soon discovered the author of the anonymous letter. "When brought face to face with the proofs they had secured, the accused admitted his guilt The matter created considerable excitement, and there -is some talk of giving the offender an op portunity of explaining openly his motives for making his insinuations and attacks. In speaking of the matter last night, Mr. Collins said: "The sequel of the affair is very gratifying. The fact that these letters bad been distributed became known in the town, and public indignation ran so high against such underhanded proceedings that a sentiment favorable to the order became general, and 23 names were added to the -charter in a very short time, making the total charter membership 74. Several of the more interested members are on the honorary list, one gentleman who is par ticularly devoted to the order's objects being 73 years of age. The average age of the 74 members is 36, and a number of professional men arc included among the members."

The Pennsylvania Steel Company Given Seven Days in 17111011 TO SIGN THE AMALGAMATED SCALE Flint Workers Say a 10 Per Cent Reduction Has Been Asked. MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS Interest in the labor dispute atSteelton is increasing. It is given out now that the men will strike as soon as they can receive the sanction of the Executive Board of the Eastern district. The subject was the chief topic among Amalgamated officials in the city yesterday, as they are fully aware that the utmost efforts of the steel company are to be put forth to break up the association at Steelton. The company has been given seven days in which to reconsider their action on re fusing to recognize the Association. This time will expire next Wednesday. Presi dent "Wcihe will be home from St. Louis by that time, and if the scale is not signed it is almost certain he will hold a conference with the Executive Board of the Eastern district, and that at least 1,700 men will be called out on strike. The Scale Presented by the Men. The scale as presented by the men pro vides for an advance in wages of from 20 to 25 per cem, and includes the following sup plementary agreement: Wc, tho undersigned commlttee.reprosent ing the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers of tho eighth district, do pre sent to your earnest consideration the fol lowing scale of prices to govern the soveral departments for one year, beginning July 22, 1891, and ending June 3a, 1KB: When the sell ing price of rails is $30 per ton, when rails ad vance tho men to receive a proportionate advance in the wages; when rails decline, to receivo a proportionate decrease In the wages, the same to go into effect quarterly, on the 1st of January, April, July and Octo ber. It Is also agreed upon that the men re ceive no reduction below the prices herein specified, as tho same is based on tho manu facturers' card of $30 per ton for steel rails, being the lowest limit upon which tho tame Bhallbo manufactured. This shall apply to all other departments passing the scale upon selling prices of the material manufactured in the respective departments. The associa tion also requests tho reinstatement of all the men discharged by the company for be ing members of the Amalgamated Associa tion of Iron and Steel WorkGrs. Must Strike to Be Consistent. Officials of the Amalgamated Association said yesterday that this scale would un doubtedly be signed. If the company re fuses, in order to be consistent with its policy the association must strike. But there is a hitch here that will create some trouble. The constitution of the association provides that no strike benefits can be paid during the months of July and August. The steel company is in possession of these facts, and do not fear a strike, for they know that the men would fare much the same as the carpenters did without funds. Vice President Carney, of the Associa tion, said last night that special provisions are made for such emergencies, and that in case a strike is ordered at Steelton the men will be well cared for. The sum of 515,000 was voted to the credit of the men now on strike at Pencoyd, and is being paid to them bi-monthly, $1,600 being sent to them yesterday. Indorsed by the Business Men. The business men in Steelton have ex pressed themselves as indorsing the de mands of the men, and are of the opinion that the. company cannot afford a strike. The bosses have been notified to meet at the office of the company to-da for a con sultation, and this gave the men the opinion yesterday that the firm was 'considering the scale. There was considerable excitement at Du quesne when the plant started up at that place. Only one turn was made yesterday, and the mill will only be operated in day light for a while. The company has offered to take back all the old hands, but the latter decline to accept the offer. It was reported last night that Homestead men will go to Duquesne to-day to try to get the new men to quit work. If they do there will be trouble. Sheriff McCfeary has his deputies on duty yet, and any attempt to interfere with the men at work will be' resisted. STILL HOLDING TOGETHER. Carpenters Decide to Retain Their Charter to Await Developments. Local Union 230 of the carpenters met last night. They still form a weak part of the Brotherhood in this section, but it is hard to tell how long they will remain under its jurisdiction. They decided to hold the charter for a while yet to see if they could regain their strength. The charges against their late secretary had to be dropped. It was discovered that pre vious to the time they had been made Bhoades had lifted his membership card and deposited in a union at Tyrone. Iiocal Union 506 has only 12 members. The others have decided to leave the Broth erhood entirely. It has not yet been de cided where the seceding members will go, but the K. of L. is strongly talked of. WILL BEACH PITTSBUEO. local Shippers Interested in the Toledo and Chicago Bee Line. It is reported that heavy Chicago and Pittsburg shippers are interested with the Brice-Thomas people in the construction of the Toledo and Chicago Bee Line, which will reach Pittsburg in connection with Lake Erie and "Western, and that as soon as the road is completed they will tum over their entire Pittsburg-Chicago business, ag gregating three or four hundred carloads of freight per day, to it. If this turns out to be true, with the Canadian Pacific, Lake Erie and "Western and Norfolk and "Western business, the new road is insured about all the traffic it can handle from the start BOBBED OF A PATENT. A German Inventor Claims to nave Been Unjustly Dealt "With. F. Mischean, a German who lives at 318 Carson street, says he has a machine for making fine wire, which was invented by him while in Germany and afterward pat ented in all European countries. On May 1G Mischean landed in thiscountry for the Eurpose of having his contrivance patented ere, but was too late, as someone had al ready been to this country, secured the pat ent, sold it and returned to Germany. Mis chean thinks he has been greatly wronged and wants to mete out justice to the person whom he says stole his invention. On his invention he claims to re ceive 55,000 a year for allowing the manu facture of the wire in Austria. WOBKHJG ON THE PLANT. High Smoke Stacks a Fart of the Edge iroodvllle Establishment. "Work on the new electric plant at Edge woodville, that is to supply "Wilkinsburg and other places in the vicinity, is going on rapidly. It will be remembered that the property holders in the neighborhood com nlained that there should not be a factorv Tieaf them, because the smoke would be likely to damage tneir nouses and gardens. The managers of the company say that there will not be any smoke or soot from the factory, high smoke stacks and smoke consumers being part of the plant The factory will be ready for operation about the last of August. A Biff Manganese Tract Transferred. The Van Buren Furnace and Mining Company, of Louisville, Ky., has sold its interest in 30,000 acres of mineral lands in Shenandoah county, Virginia, to George "W. Bryan, of Pittsburg. The transfer was made through the furnace company's repre sentative, Mr. E. T. Calvert The property has been developed by "W. G. Carroll and John E. Kurkamp, who predict great re sults for the tract. TEN FEB CENT LESS "WAGES Is TThat Green Bottle Makers Have Notified Their Men They Will Ask. A number of delegates to,the Steuben ville Flint Glass "Workers' Convention re turned last night on the eastern express. The proceedings terminated yesterday at 3:30 o'clock. The convention found the business of the order in first-class condition. No action was taken regarding the affilia tion of the green glass workers with the flints. No application from them was re ceived. The fact has been overlooked that the Green Vial and Flint Bottle Manufac turers' Association at its late meeting in New York resolved upon a course of action which may engender a conflict between the employers and owners before work is re sumed. The manufacturers have notified the men of a reduction in wages of 10 per cent and of their intention to employ two apprentices to every ten blowers in lieu of one to every 15 ns now. The green glass men having withdrawn from the Knights of Labor, their next step, it is assumed, will be to affiliate with the flints, and the flints may have something to say to the matter of a reduction in wages. President Smith, Secretary Dillon, Vice President "W. D. Dooling, James Flinn, of the Executive Committee, and other local delegates arrived home last night. They said the shutdown will continue for eight weeks. As predicted in The Dispatch previous to the convention, the packers were refused admission to the session. APPB0VED THE SCALE. "Window Glass "Workers Want a Confer ence Early in Angust. L. A. 300, K. of L. met last night and re ceived the report of the Northern Scale Committee which came home this week from the joint meeting in Atlantic The proposed scale was indorsed and the com mittee was instructed to ask for a confer ence with the local manufacturers about the first week in August. It is not thought there will be any diffi culty encountered in arranging this year's scale as it differs very little from the one that has just expired. .,.. The Becord Broken Again. The best record ever made by any machine shop in this part of the country is said to be that of the "Witherow works, from which over 300 tons of finished castings were sent to the South inside of 36 hours. The task was performed this week. German Printers Strike. The German-American Typographical Union No. 16 has called out the compositors employed on the Allegheny Sonntagsbote. The reason given is that Sir. Joos, the pro prietor of the paper, has violated the rules of tho union by using plates. Industrial Notes. TnE Building Trades Council will try to moet to-night. The Bell barrel factory, of New Castle, will be completed and put into operation in September. The asphalt paving block works, of New Castle, has just received orders aggregating C25,000 blocks. Tho Sours and Sweets of It. The old idea entertained by such eminent legal authorities as Blackstone and others, that "What is not reason is not law," seems to be exploded in these later days. The latest case in point is that of the H. J. Heinz Company against Lutz Bros., both engaged in the pickle and preserve business. The H. J. Heinz Company has been an nouncing, through the medium of paid ad vertisements, "Another glorious victory." In order that the public will be enabled to estimate this "glorious victory" at its true worth, the decree of the Court is appended, first stating for the benefit of the reader that this suit was for the alleged infringe ment of a label. OPINION PER CURIAM. This is a close case. Aside from the Master's report and find ing, the Court w ould probably have found that the labels of defendant are not likely to deceive the ordinary purchaser. It is easy to see that to the practiced eve of an artist, the labels are so dissimilar in color ing, in arrangement, in names and devices, that he would suppose that it would be an impossibility to mistake one label for the other. No one that could and would read could be deceived into taking one for the other. The Master has found from the tes timony that defendants' label was not in tended to deceive, and that in fact it has de ceived no one. The form of package is a common one for a much longer time than any of the parties have been in business. "The general design of the grouping of fruits in high colors, such as these labels rather than in natural colors, the sizes and shapes are also to our personal knowledge common from a time long before these par ties were in business. Yet we cannot say that taking the two labels together the Master is wrong in find ing that In general effect on the eye, and in the general impression given, the labels are so similar as to be liable to deceive the ordinary retail purchaser of such goods. The Master finds the leading fruit of the labels to be a pear; the testimony supports his finding. A countryman might mistake it for a squash, at least he never saw the original of the pear in form and color, and yet thev are precisely the same in each label. To the casual, unskilled observer the general arrangement is the same. It should not be difficult to make-the necessary changes. The exceptions to the Master's report are dismissed. The plaintiffs have suffered no actual dam ages; the hardship in this case is on the de fendants. The Court would not affirm any finding of more than nominal damages. It is therefore unnecessary to refer the case back-to the Master to assess the damages. Under all the facts found the defendants should be allowed a reasonable time to change their labels. Let a decree be drawn accordingly. "Judge White dissents and would dismiss the bill." Surely it might be said that such an other "victory" would be worse than de feat. The Court says aside from the Master's report it would probably have found that the labels of defendants are not likely to deceive the ordinary purchaser. That to an artist the labels are so dissimilar in col oring, in arrangement, in names and de vices that he would suppose it would be an impossibility to mistake one for the other. Precisely so. Lutz Bros, employed an artist to design their label. They intended it to be original, and it was their desire and belief that they succeeded to the satisfac tion of unprejudiced and intelligent per sons in avoiding similarity to labels of other firms. They have no need to practice such deception, as the goods they manufac ture find a large and ready sale on their merits, and their name and reputation is bringing in a daily increasing business, Lutz Bros, being second to none in this bus iness. The Court says further: "No one that could and would read could be de ceived into taking one for the other." Tak ing this language of the Court it would seem to place a premium on illiteracy. The Court says again: "The hardship in this case is on the defendants." It might be suggested that the supposed duty of a court is to sec that no hardship is to be in flicted. As the case stands Lutz Bros, un questionably sustain a hardship, and,not be ing willing to endure it unmerited, as it seems to be, purpose appealing to the Su preme Court.

NOTHIM WHITTLED TO A POINT. Stockholders Trusted to tlie Full Amount of Their Holdings. THE GHOST WAS GIVEN UP GRACEFUILT The colored co-operationists who started a store on "Wylie avenue, below Fulton street, two years ago, have wound up their business, as most co-operative institutions do. It hasn't exactly been a success, hut it came out better than ordinarily. There was something unique about the method of doing business. Like the farmer that Lin coln told of, who, when he failed to blow out a stump, dig it out or burn it, con cluded to plow around it, the colored mer chants adopted a device of their own to get around the legal restrictions that guard such enterprises. The law does not allow such concerns to give credit, nor are people authorized to trust them, though the penalty for violation on the part of the foreign creditor is that he cannot secure the aid of the law in collect ing his debt. A Scheme to Get Around the Lair. This co-operative institution not only got somewhat in debt, but it trusted its stock holders with goods. The first gave no spe cial trouble, as the creditor might whistle for his pay if the stockholders did not come to the center, but the landlord, who was to. get S75 a month rent, could avail himself of a landlord's warrant. "Well, it seems that the company found it could not do a cash business with its stock holders, and the cash returns from outsiders were not sufficient to keep up the Btock, so an expedient was devised, It was decided to trust stockholders to the amount of their stock, and for a time busi ness boomed to such an extent that the salesmen, with fevered brows and aching muscles, and articulations and other physi cal appurtenances, thanked their stars fer vently each night when their heads dropped on their pillows that another day was over. Each morning they felt like galley slaves when they arose to begin another day's wrestle. Objects All Accomplished. One day, however, all awoke to find that their labors were accomplished. The stock holders had invested to the extent of their stock, and the sum of the profits, after ex penses were deducted, was but little larger than the little end of nothing whittled to a Soint. A consultation was held, and it was ecided to settle with the landlord and quit business. Some of those interested are of opinion that a cog must have slipped somewhere, but they have the consolation of knowing BIBER & EAST0N CUT PRICES .IK OUR CLOAK ROOMS.
