Disability Bill
TIIE CORONER DOWN OX ROUGH ON RATS.
All the Interesting Events of a Day Reported in the
Twin Cities.
The now Chief Engineer of tho Bureauof
Piro will not be named for two weeks at
least. Chief Brown, of the Department of
Public Safety, leaves this afternoon with his
wife, to spend two eeks in Dakota and the
Jforthwest. He said yesterday afternoon
that he w ould positively not name the new
Tire Chief until his return. As to the name
of the new man, ho said, ho ias not any
more decided than a week ago, and still has
the selection to make from a list of four or
five Hble men. On his return the Chief will
confer with the Board of Underwriters and
their judgment will be considered in the se
lection of the now head of the department.
In explaining his position on this question
yesterday afternoon, he said:
"I will not be hampered in any way with
political affiliations in making this appoint
ment. 3Iy sole aim will be to get the best
Tosible man for the place and for the money.
As tbey responsibility rests upon myself It
is apparent to anyone why I should be so
Ixticular in this respect, while endeavor
ing to give the city good tire protection.
"When I do make the appointment I want to
1e right with the appointee lor a couple of
n eeks and give htm the benefit of my ob
servation and experience so that he will
fully comprehend what I require. Who
ever he may be I will explain Just what I
"aunt him to do and at the same time give
him to understand, that if he fails to meet
the requirements after a fair trial he will
have to step down and leave the place for a
better man. It may be we will try several
nien before we get one to satisfactorily fill
the bill, but 1 hope the first will doit, for the
fake of thedcpaitment and to have the mat
ter settled."
Major Gourley Under the 'Weather.
The conference between Mayor Gourley
and Chief Brown on the police disability
ordinance was postponed owing to the illness
of his Honor, who remained at his home all
day. Chief Brown, in speaking of the Mayor's
printed objections to the ordinance, said:
"I think the Mayor is n roug about his ob
jections to the method proposed to secure
money for this disability fund. I am sorry
the Mayor is sick for I had expected to ex
plain the matter to him to-day in such a way
that he would have fully understood my po
rtion and recognized the propriety of this
bill. 1 have worked hard to make the Police
Bnreau perfect, and I feel satisfied that
Ziothiug will go further toward securing that
end than some such measure as this. It will
be an encouragement to the men to do their
whole dut and a little more, and the public
will get the benefit. The Mayor is credited
with saying the uioney for a disability fund
can only be legally providod by annual ap
propriation. "There are several points that can be
brought to show that the Mayor is not alto
gether correct in that view, and without dis
cussing them I would ask, what stabilitj
would there be in a fund that would take its
chances on being provided for or unmade
at the whim of a Mayor or the Finance Com
mittee once every year? What encourage
ment would it be to a policeman on a beat
to know that while the fund e:Asts this vcar
it may bo wiped out next spring? I think
the only way to establish such a fund and
irc-oti it alive and active is to make a law
that certain money shall be devoted to that
fund and then see that they are applied
there. And while it may be wrong, 1 lully
believe that the method proposed in the bill
as passed in Councils is legal.
Ift With Controller Morrow.
"At all events, as I do not expect to have
an opportunity of talking the matter over
w ith the Mayor, I have arranged with Con
troller Morrow to present my views to the
ilayor as soon as he is able to return to his
cifficeacd to submit to him this proposition:
That as soon as the bill is signed an ami
cable suit shall be arranged by which the
Controller will refuse to pav any money
under the bill. The cjso can then be taken
to court and settled definitely one way or
tho other. I only w ant to be fair in the niat
terand I can see no other wav to reach a
lair conclusion. Governor Pattison and
Governor Beaver each vetoed legislative
bills on this question that I had expended
great clloi ts and considerable money to get
through the legislature, and I was told that
the city councils had the power to erect a
disability fund.
"Now that we have the matter in shape I
hope it can be carried to a conclusion at
once. I am w illing, if the Mayor w ill sug
gest reasonable changes, to amend the pres
ent bill to accord with his views in order to
get a good fair bill, and I believe he will
meet the Controller, when the matter is con
sidered, on equitable grounds, and that the
amicable court proceedings 1 have proposed
will be adopted. That will bo aft 1 will
csk."

SUICIDE IN BELLEVUE.
Mrs. Heed Ends ner Life by Taking Eongh
on Itats.
"Rough on rats" has again paved the way
from this world to the great beyond. Tho
victim this time is Mrs. W. E. Reed, of
Bellevue. She died at 7:30 yesterday morn
ing. Her husband is a tinner. Sho was 32
years old and had four children. Tem
porary insanity was the cause of the sui
cide. About a year ago sho had a paralytic
stroke and at times since that her mind has
been unbalanced. Last Wednesday she sent
her little son after tho poison and really did
use some of it to kill rats. Lato Sunday
night she rose from her bed and took a tea
spoonful of tho poison. Her husband re
turned soon after and found her vomiting.
She admitted having taken poison. Medical
aid was called and then the husband went to
bring some of her relatives. She died while
he was away.
Last nfght Coroner Heber McDowell held
an inquest, and discovered that tho woman
had tried to commit suicide a week ago by
immersing her head in-a bucket ot water.
The Coroner's Jury in rendering the verdict
inserted a recommendation that legislation
be secured to restrict the sale of rough on
rats. The Coroner was well pleased with the
verdict, and speaking of it last night said:
"This rough on rats is a most deadly
poison, being composed of more than 90 per
cent of arsenic Why it should be allowed
to be sold in quantities sufficient to kill a
w hole community without asking any ques
tions of the person buying, while other pois
ons no more deadly are carefully restricted,
is a thing that I can't understand. The drug
gist in this case is no more to blame than
almost any other, for they are not expected
to piy any especial attention to this poison
by law, though there most undoubtedly
should be law, and strict law, to govern the
sale of such deadlv stuff. More suicides by
the poison route have resulted from the use
of rough on rats than any other poison for
several years. I hope the matter will beagl
tated until our lawmakers aio forced to
enact a remedy."
CHANGED THE PBESCBIPTION.
A Fifth Avenue Father Wants Damages
From a Druggist.
A rather unusual suit was in course of
preparation yesterday by Attorney John
Marron. It is brought in Common Pleas
Court Xo. 1. The plaintiff is Martin Joyce
and the dofendant James L. McConnell, of
James L. McConnell & Co., Fifth avenue
druggists. . One of Joyce's children was
sick with some throat trouble Dr. Barclay
prescribed for tho child and when tho medi
cine was exhausted the bottle was returned
to be refilled. Plaintiff alleges that tho
druggist sent medicine in another bottlo.
Some of the contents of tho second bottlo
were given to the child and it is said that it
became violently sick and its skin turned
black. The plaintiff further sets forth that
when the bottle was sent back for explana
tion the druggist took it and held on to it,
but admitted to another physician that the
contents of the second bottlo were not tho
same as the first.
The child eventually recovered, but the
suit is brought, nevertheless, on the ground
that a druggist has no right to change a
prescription without a doctor's order, and
damages are asked for the injury alleged to
have been done by tho change.

TRUE TO HIS BUST.
Death of an Old and Well-Known
Character of This City."
UXCLE JOHN FOX IS NOW W MOEE.
One of Pittsburg's Early Detectives, a Eelic
of the Time When
THE CITY WAS FORMED OF FOUR'WARDS
Undertaker Devoro was yesterday called
onto perform the last office for one of the
city's oldest residents; one who. In his
official capacity, connected the present with
the time when the city had but four wards.
Captain John Fox, familiarly known as
"Uncle John" by thousands of people, died
night before last, at his residence on Logan
street, in the 79th year of his age. Deceased
left the police force about 25 years ago, so he
was not much known by latter-day police
men, but his face was familiar to all, and to
millions besides city residents, as he had
been in charge of tho Union depot from 1861
until 18S9. During that time a largo" part of
tho nation, as well as foreigners, passed
through the "gateway of the Mississippi
Valley" and none were too lowly to receive
recognition from "Uncle John" when frantic
regarding the direction they wished to take.
"Uncle John" will be buried in his wedding
suit, which is over 50 years old, but in a good
state of preservation.
A Sketch of the Deceased.
John Fox was born in England and came
to this country nearly 60 years ago. He was
a stonemason and worked on the old court
house, tho second one built In this county.
He then became a member of the city's
Solice force, and was jailor under Sheriff
tagill. Subsequently ho was Chief of Police
under several Mayors, and silver-headed
men can remember how, whenthey were
boys, he made them walk a chalk line at
the old Drury, when Henderson ran It. They
remember him kindly, however, for there
was nothing of the tyrant in his composi
tion. In 1SS0 the Pennsylvania Railway Com
pany found him to be the man it needed,
and he was, with Station Master Butler, put
in charge of the old depot on Grant street.
In 1870 the company made him Chief of
Police, and he attended to the duties there
in connection with his position as court
crier and tipstave in the United States
Courts, to which position he had been ap
pointed in 1S71. Here he was a general
favorite, as elsewhere, and lawyers and
Judges always felt it incumbent on them to
take a pinch of snuff when "Uncle John"
offered it. He kept the position as long as
he was able to get to the Court House.
Nearly half a century ago he was shot in the
side while making an arrest at a ball, and
the bullet he carried in his body for many
years, the wound causing him to stoop
slightly. He was also the Pittsburg agent of
Allan Pinkerton, of Chicago, for many
years.
John Fox leaves a wife and several daugh
ters. His son Richard w as a baggage agent
running between this city and Now York
and died about a year ago from Injuries re
ceived in a wreck near Philadelphia. A
grandson, John Fox, is employed in the bag
gage department at Union station. A daugh
ter is the wife of Mr. McMasters, a con
tractor. To Be Burled by Brother Masons.
Deceased was tho only Past Master in St.
John's Lodge, F. A. M., and had been a mem
ber 52 years. Tho society will have charge
of the funeral.
Before the War of tho Rebellion Fox and
Hague were supposed by the boys of tho
foot-hills of tho Alleghenies to be tho only
detectives outside of Bow street, London,
and their presence in any town this side of
Altoona inspired youth with awe. In those
davs there were but four wards in the city
anil they were tho two of tho four old-time
constables who rose to distinction. Robert
Hague weut over Jordan some years age.
He was a character in his way, a hard
worker and one who could out malaprop
Mrs. Malaprop. Many funny slips of the
tongue are recorded of him. Once he w as
very much interested in sending a criminal
to the penitentiarv. Tho fellow had money
and made a hard fight. His lawyer one day
said to Hague: "You might as well give over.
We have gotten a specuil allocatur to take
the case to the Supreme Court." Said Hague,
"I don't caie a for all tho alligators in
the Mississippi. That will go to the
penitentiary."
Another story is told of his taking a ram
ble one dnv with Colonel Dlehl, a quaint
man who died some years ago. They were
at the Red Lion stables and Colonel Diehl
ventured near the heels of a vicious mule
wnich was making threatening demonstra
tions. Hague caught Diehl by the arm and
pulling him back remarked: "Take care.
Colonel, that mule Is flctious," Colonel
Diehl drew himself to his full height and
scornfully corrected Hague as follows:
"Factitious, you blamed old idiot." Detec
tive Hague stood corrected, bowing to the
superior Know ledge of Diehl.
Not Meant as an Aspersion.
Chief Hague's misapplications of language
would fill columns. A gay Lothario he ren
dered a gfty "Lutherian," without Intending
any disrespect to the followers of Luther's
creed. AVhen John Corodo ran for Con
gress, Democratic editors and stumpers re
vamped Hague's lingual slips and oddities,
and credited them to tho father of the
famous Investigating committee, and the
alligator story stuck. They made Covode
say: "Tho allegation is false, and the alli
gator knows it."
"Uncle John's" health failing about tw'o
years ago, and it being evident that he would
never be himself again, diabetes being added
to the burden of nearly four score years, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company relieved
him on a pension, but ho has been able at in
tervals to visit the station and converse
with friends.
HAD HEB SON ABBESTED.
A Southside Mother Charges Her Boy With
Assaulting Her.
Mrs. Marie Bush yesterday caused tho ar
rest of her stepson, John Bush, by making
informations before Alderman Ilartman
charging him with felonious assault and
larceny. These people live in a shanty boat
at the foot of South Thirtieth street. Mrs.
Bush alleges that her stepson threw a largo
stick at her and stole about $3 worth of
kindling wood from a neighbor. The Alder
man will hold hearings in these cases this
week.
Mrs. Bush is tho widow of Frank Bush, a
Pole, who dropped dead under mysterious
circumstances while visiting triends at Will
iamsburg about eight weeks ago, and it was
discovered shortly 'after that his death had
been caused by drinking too much elder
berry wine.
FAITH IN CAMPBELL.
Mr. Bowlus Claims the Tariff 'Will. Defeat
McKinley.
W. L. Bowlus, of tho Wabash road, who is
a Cleveland Democrat, thinks there is no
doubt about Campbell's election. "It is not
the men or the parties that are under fire,"
he said last evening. "Both candidates aro
irreproachable, and McKinley is a man of
national reputation, but he will be beaten
on the tariff. The laboring classes and the
farmers will not vote for him.
"I don't believe Campbell will lose much
in Hamilton county. The best people there
are with him. I saw the Cincinnati gang at
the Cleveland convention. They were a
disgusting set, and did not injure Campbell
at all. I leel sure tho Governor will have a
big majority."
W. W. SPEEB SUED FOB ASSAULT.
Mr. Goettman Claims He Kicked Him in the
Bachelors' Club Fight.
A warrant was issued last night by Alder
man Braun for the arrest of Major William
Speer, the great iron master of Allegheny
and ex-Chairman of the Councilmanic Com
mittee on Police. He is charged by George
Goettman, a brother of Councilman Goett
man, of the Fifth ward, with assault and
battery.
The suit has grown out of the sensation
caused by Mr. Goettman being thrown from
the Bachelors' Club on Saturday night. Mr.
Speer was a member of the firing party and
received a black eye during the fight. Mr.
Goettman, however, claims that Mr. Speer
kicked him.
Only a Moonlight Night Needed.
The invitation cards for the Randall Club's
fete champetie at Silver Lake Grovo to-mor-row
afternoon and evening aro nearly all
gone. In speaking of the affair yesterday T.
O'Leary, Jr., said: "Only a fine night is

FATHER M0LLINGER RESTING.
The Priest-Physician Unable to Attend to
His Patients How He Passes the Time
Away Something About His Extensive
Mall Next Tear's Feast,
Father Molllnger is still very weak and ex
hausted from tho great burden placed on
him during the exciting days of the feast of
St. Anthony. Ho has not yet recovered, and
it will be somo months before ho will fully
regain his health. He is still at his home on
Troy Hill, and will not leave for the East to
take it much-needed rest, as he had intended.
He has refrained from his usual work of at
tending to the many patients daily seeking
relief at the shrine of St. Anthony, for two
months.
When he arises in the morning he reads
mass in the chapel in his own residence.
After a light collation he retires to his room
foranotherrest. For several hours In the
forenoon he dictates his business of the day
to his several secretaries, and late in the
afternoon takes a drive in his private car
riage. Too and three times a week he goes
to the pastoral residence of St. Mary's
Church, Sharpsburg. Ho seems to enjoy that
place better than any other around tho city,
and it is there that he spends many a happy
hour In company with the reverend fathers.
Father Mollinger receives letters every
day from every State in tho Union. They
also come from Mexico, from Canada, South
America and as far distant as Australia, but
the most from a distance are from California.
Altogether, he receives over 2,000 letters a
month, and more than half of these are
answered, but there are bushels of his mall
which is consigned to the waste basket be
fore it is half examined.
From all indications now tho feast of St.
Anthony next year will see the largest num
ber of invalids -on Troy Hill that has ever
been there. It is expected thatnot less than
20,000 visiting pilgrims will be there.
There are always some invalids in the
church every morning. They all attend
mass, which is held by Father Mollinger's
assistant priest. They offer up their prayers
at the altar of St. Anthony, Dut none will
receive any special treatment until about
the middle of September, then the priest
physician will undertake to resume his
usual work.
AN0THEB VIOLENT DEATH.
The Most Serious of Yesterday's Accidents
Was the Killing of a Railroader.
David Fitzgerald, aPittsburg, Virginia and
Charleston brakeman, was run over and
killed yesterday. Other accidents were of
minor consequence. The list Is as follows:

age was run down aud killed on the P. V. &
C. road last evening, near Duquesne. Ho

WASHINGTON'S SIGNET KINO
Found on a Sandbar in the Middle of the
Monongaliela River.
A curious signet ring has been found on a
bar in the Monongahela river, between the
Smlthfleld street bridge and the Pennsyl
vania Railroad bridge, which is thought to
have belonged to George Washington. It is
heavily lined with gold, where the initials
"G. W." are still legible. The outside is or
cast iron. The seal part is octagonal in
shape and bears a crown and shield! It is a
very largo ring. It Is well known that
Washington had large hands. In the gold
lining is the figure "9," indicatfng the num
ber of carats fine. The ring was found by
Harry Wickes, a paper hanger and painter,
in 1S83. Mr. Wickes is now dead and the
ring has come into tho possession of his
brother, Jesso Wickes, of 154 Fourth ave
nue. The Wickes are an English family.
They are quiet people and have never said
much about the ring or brought it to the at
tention of tho public. It is only through
the intervention of a friend, A. P. Bowser,
of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad,

IT I00ES LIKE FIGHT AT STEELT0N
There were several squabbles at the Du
quesne Steel Works yesterday, and matters
have really taken on a serious aspect. The
men at Duqucsno do not seem to be "in it,"
as they have very resignedly placed tho
management of their affairs in the
hands of the Amalgamated men at
Homestead and Braddock. The strikers
are more determined now than at any
time sinco tho trouble began not to allow
tho mill to run under existing circum
stances. Yesterday morning about 300 men
congregated around the place, most of them
from Homestead, for the purpose of prevent
ing any one from going to work. Thoy suc
ceeded partially, and many of those who
were in tho mill were compelled to do two
turns before coming out.
A Trifling Scrap in the Morning.
In tho meantime, men on their way to the
mill were being stopped and quietly, but
firmly, told that thoy were expected to stay
out of the mill. Onco in awhile a trifling
scrap occurred, but no ono was seriously
hurt. As tho day passed, however, there
were some very loud threats made that the
men would be reinforced last night by
more men from Homestead, and that
no one would be allowed near the
mill at midnight. All day long the strikers
congregated In crowds as near the mill
property as the deputy sheriffs would allow
them, and men were halted both going to
and coming from the works. Such threats
as "You you'll not work there to
morrow," were of frequent occurrence.
Women would accompany their husbands
to the mill to make sure that they would ar
rive in safety. One woman carried a large
butcher knile wrapped up in her apron, and
as she passed one of the deputies she re
marked very confidently, "I'll bet you they
don't touch my man."
Tho peoole gathered around the corners
of the to wn all day and the strike was tho
all prevailing subject. The excitement
reached such a pitch that the firm really be
came fearful that serious trouble might
occur and during the afternoon a telegram
was sent to Sheriff McCleary.reques ting him
to take up 20 additional deputies.
The Sheriff Left in Charge.
The Sheriff complied and also went to Du
quesne, where he remained all night in
charge of the 53 special officers now on duty.
He said ho did not fear much difficulty, as
the men had been very easy to deal with so
far.
General Manager Morrison said the big
mill was running steadily and that a very
large force of men aro at work. He does not
fear any serious trouble from the strikers.
Great excitement was created last night
when the word reached Duquesne that 200 or
300 men were on their way to assist the
strikers in keeping workmen away from the
mill at midnight last night. Everyone
feared that trouble was ahead. Rumors of
violence and riot soon gained circulation,
and when a train did reach Oliver, loaded
with steel workers from Braddock and
Homestead, the little town was in an uproar.
Last night a large mass meeting was held
in tho rink. Fully 500 men were present,
and great enthusiasm prevailed. The boss
roller, William Evans, presided, and ad
dressed tho meeting first. While he advised
calmness and conservatism in their move
ments, he assured the men that their cause
w as just and thoymight rely on the support
of the members of tho Amalgamated Asso
ciation. This was received with round after
round of applause and cheers. Other speak
ers followed Evans in the same line.
The object of the meeting was to appoint
committees and arrange a systematic plan
for keeping men away Irom the mill at mid
night, whon the trouble was exDOCted.
While the meeting was in progress" one of
the strikers rushed into the building and
frantically exclaimed: "This is a of a
way to manage this affair. Do you know
that while you are fooling your time away
hero the night men are being taken into the
mill, so that when you go up there at 12
o'clock there won't be anybody to see, ex
cept those who come out?"
This was startling news for the men, but it
proved true, and also proved that the men
at Duqucsne need the advicaand assistance
of outsiders if they expect to cope with
Sheriff McClcary and his corps of deputies.
It was he who planned and carried into
effect the scheme to get the midnight turn
into the mill three hours before the men
wore to go to work, thus thwarting the strik
ers in their plans to create trouble at mid
night. A Riot Narrowly Averted.
A riot was narrowly avoided yesterday
afternoon when Peter Makin was arrested
by a constable from Alderman McMasters'
office. Makin was charged by Samuel Bevan
with writing letters to the prosecutor,
threatening to deal with him according to
White Cap law if he did not stay away from
the mill. AVhen Makin was arrested his as
sociates tried to rescue him. A crowd
gathered around the deputies and for a time
matters looked serious. The affair quieted
down witnout anyone getting nurt, ana
Makin was brought to the city and placed in
jail for a hearing.
The following telegram was received by
The Dispatch from Braddock last night:
"Workingmen from this place refrain
from going to w ork at Duquesne, as remem
brances of tho past fill them with timidity.
Those who went to work this morning had
to retrace their steps before entering the
mill, having been intercepted by a crowd of
soveral hundred men from Homestead, who
warned them not to enter the mill. The re
ports from Duquesne do not bring any ac
counts of violence, but trouble is antici
pated should tho firm try to operate the
plant."
WILL TBY IT ALONE.
Machine Hands Vote to .Leave the Car
penters' Brotherhood.
Local union 506, composed of machine
hands, mot last night and considered the
matter of forming an Independent organiza
tion. In order to do this in a peaceable
manner a special dispensation will be neces
sary. This will be asked for, but if it is not
granted the men will leave the Brotherhood
of carpenters any w ay.
It Is claimed now that they never derived
any benefit from being members, and were
only identified with tho lecent strike in the
hope that the eight-hour movement would
win and they would ride in along with the
victors. Ai soon as arrangements can bo
completed the new organization wilt be
formed.
Unlontown Men Still Unpaid.
Contrary to expectations no one was paid
off at tho steel mill at Uniontown on Satur
day, except those now engaged in making
repairs. When an employe presented his
time ho was asked to show papers from a
Justice of tho Peace or the I'rothonotary
showing the claim not to have been entered
up, or, if entered, showing that tho claim
had been satisfied. Those who presented
their checks were not expecting this, and
therefore woie not paid. It is expected,
however, that all will be paid this week.
Pittsburgers "Want the Plant.
There is now some prospect that the New
Castle Asphalt Block Works, which em
ployed over 100 hands, but has been idle for
over a year, will bo started again in a few
days. Booth & Fllnn are trying to secure
control of the plant, which was erected only
five years ago, and is perfectly equipped. It
is said there aro orders for 00,000 paving
blocks leady to begiven to the people who
start tho plant. "
Better Begin Over.
Agent Schwartz said yesterday: "If .the
Builders' Exchange intended to expel all its
members who did not live up to the rules
during the strike, it had better begin over
again, and not 'stop with four men, but drop
about half the members."
New Coal Tract iu Ohio.
A number of capitalists of Wellsburg, O.,
have leased a tract of coal lands, about ten
miles from that city, and a largo force of
men aro now at work sinking the slope.
The mine will givo employment to 300 men.
A Favorable Situation.
The expected break among tho bricklay
ers did not como yesterday. On tho con
trary, Agent O'Brien said that thero were
no new arrivals of men and that the situa
tion is favorable to tho men.

IT IB FIGHT AT STEELT0N.
Sheriff Keller Refuses to Furnish Deputies
Until Trouble Occurs.
Trouble is anticipated at Steelton to
morrow if the Pennsylvania Steel Work3
officials still refuse to sign the Amalgamated
scale. President Bent yesterday applied to
the Sheriff of Dauphin county for a posse of
deputies to protect tho works, but Sheriff
Keller refused to grant the request, stating
that he had no authority to act until there
was some disorderly, overt act, or a riot or
mob law was attempted.
Burgess Heagy, of Steelton, issued a proc
lamation closing all saloons in the town at
last midnight, and to have them remain
closed for 43 hours, or until the threatened
tronble is over. The open hearth furnaces
are to be banked to-day and this looks liko
a fight on the part of the management.
President Weihe will go to Steelton to-day
or to-morrow.
NEW BBIDfJE COMPANY.
A Second Structure for Passengers to Span
the Youghiogheny.
Tho Port View bridge, in course of con
struction over the Yough river at Mc
Keesport, is not the only bridge to be built
over that river this year. Tho need of a
passenger bridge at Suters, one of the most
important mining towns between Connells
ville and McKeesport, has long been felt,
and capitalists have decided to build a
bridge at that point to cost in the neighbor
hood: of $35,000. The company has been
formed by Matthew Osborne, F. O. Bring
ham, A. L. McCune, A. L. Cornell, J. E.
Douglass and J. A. McCune. The company
will apply for a charter at once.
The Port View bridge will be thrown open
the latter part of August and will be located
at tho mouth of Douglass run.
LOW COTTON TIE BATES,
Coupled With a Light Tariff is Giving the
Makers a Good Year.
"The railroad business to the Southwest
is dead," said S. P. Kennedy, of the Cotton
Belt route yesterday. "Outside of cotton
ties, scarcely any traffic i3 moving from this
territory. Tho roadg have cut the tie rate to
50 cents, and there is no money in the busi
ness. The greatest fools on earth are rail
road men. Last year the rate was from 75 to
80 cents, and that is low enough.
"This ought to be a great year for the tie
makers. The new tariffhas gone into effect,
and virtually gives them a monopoly of the
American trade. They are shipping a great
many, but the railroads are carryiug them
to Texas at a loss. I don't know how long
the fight will continue."
HUBT BY THE STBIKES.
A Michigan Lumberman Complains About
the Bad Trade.
H. D. Butters, a lumberman from Rud
dington, Mich., was at the Union depot last
evening bound for New York. He deplored
the bad condition of the trade, ahd said' it
was all due to tho building strikes. He was
afraid that if the present destruction of tim
ber continued much longer in his State
it would be necessary next year to bring
lumber into Michigan. The forests are
being cut away so rapidly that tho supply
will soon be exhausted.
The strike here, he said, greatly injured
his business and had a 'bad effect on the
trade in other places. Ho seemed to think
the traffic In lumber was going to the dogs.
WILL C0NFEB THIS WEEK.
An Early Attempt to Be Made to Settle the
Tableware Scale.
A conference between the American Flint
Glas3 Workers' Committee and the manu
facturers will be held some time during the
present week, and as the terms upon which
the hitch occurred at the May meeting have
been modified, It Is believed a satisfactory
agreement will be reached without any
difficulty.
President Smith said yesterdag tho asso
ciation could offer no objection to the pro
posed plan of the new tableware company
to consolidate the mold shops. He thinks
the outlook for the trade this year is bright,
and predicts harmony between manufac
turers and the organization.
FLOODING THE MINES.
An Attempt to Extinguish the Fire at the
Clements' Plant. ,
The work of flooding tho Clements' mines
near Morgantown, W. Va., which have been,
on fire nearly two months was commenced
Saturday.
All the miners and coke men have been
idle since the flre started and tho com
pany's loss is very heavy. They had all the
orders they could fill during the summer.
ABBESTED AT THE DEPOT.
John Daily, of Etna, Must Answer Several
Charges of Larceny.
John Campbell and Depot Officer Grady
arrested John Daily shortly after midnight
on Sunday at the Union stntion. He was
taken to tho Central .station, and charges
of larceny made against him. Campbell and
Daily live in Etna. During the day Camp
bell claims that Daily entered his house
while he was absent, and took $90 from a
trunk and as much more from the trunk of
his sister.
When Campbell grabbed Dally, the latter
pulled a revolver and threatened to shoot
him. He had a ticket for Chicago.

SOME BRIGHT VIEWS.
Mr. Allen, of the -Nickel Plate, Says
This Will Be a Great Tear
I0E AIL THE YANKEE BAILROADS.
Agent3 Are Banking- Much on the In
couraging Crop Reports.
THE 0EE AND COAL SHIPMENTS HEAYT
H. Allen, of Cleveland, commercial agent
for tho Xickel Plate, registered at the Monon
gahela House last evening. He is a short,
stocky Scotch-Irishman, and with the ex
ception of his sandy beard closely resembles
Andrew Carnegie. Mr. Allen takes an
optimistic view of the railroad outlook, and
in this season of chronic grumblers about
the slow traffic his ideas are as welcome as
a shower in the desert.
"The railroad business is good," he said,
"and I think this will prove to be one of the
greatest years for freight movement in the-
history or tho lines. The ore. Iron and coal
shipments are heavy, and the traffic going
West is larger at present than the east
bound. This will be changed, to be sure,
when the crops are moved toward the sea
shore. The revenues of the roads are keep
ing up, and there is no cause for complaint.
Hates are being maintained, and, in addi
tion, the lines are getting more than for
merly for transportation."
Crop Ueports All Encouraging.
From all parts of the country tho crop re
ports are most encouraging. In many States
the yield of cereals is far ahead of all previ
ous records, and the farmers aro rejoicing
over the prospects. From France comes the
tidings that the wheat crop in that Republic
has been a failure this year. In this case it
happens that what is one man's misfortune
? roves to be good luck for another. The
ankee grangers will find a first rate
market in Europe for the surplus
of their crops, and in this way
a glut in the borne trade will bo prevented.
Chairman Blanchard, of the Central Traffic
Association, also lias great faith in the rail
road outlook for the balance of the year. Ho
bases his belief on the heavy crops, and re
cently he said when the harvests are good it
is a sure indication of better times. If tho
freight movement from certnin parts of the
country is not brisk, it is no indication that
the business is bad. Some local freight men
still complain of poor traffic. The coal
ehipments are heavy, but the coke traffic is
only fair. Tho region has not yot recovered
from the late strike, and it will take some
time before the production equals the output
of former years.
A Better Feeling About Business.
Among the agents of Pacific coast roads
there is a better feeling about the business.
These lines fortunately are blessed with a
first-class local trade, and at present much
of the freight is coming East. The salmon
shipments from the Northwest are commenc
ing to come in. Last year tho Union Pacific
had the bulk of the freight into Pittsburg,
but this summer the Northern Pacific has
the call. The old report was spread early
in the spring that salmon were scarce, but
few Pittsburgers who like the fish are going
hungry for them. Columbia river salmon
are a popular edible in this city, and dealers
state thatfrom (00 to 600 carloadsare shipped
here annually. One local firm has given
orders for 12u cars.
In the passenger department agents agree
that about as many people aro traveling
this year as in the last. They don't make
such long trips, but they go oftener, and
herein they show common sense. The West
no longer holds out luring attractions for
settlers, and the passenger men do not
scoop in as many big parties, but at the end
of the yoar the figures show that the busi
ness has not decreased. Chairman Blanch
ard says that men forgot that the country
grows rapiuiy every year, ana tnis annual
Increase is seldom taki
ten into consideration
by business people.
