WORSHINNA GROVE,
A Drenching Shower Tartly Spoils
the First Sunday of the Valley
Camp Meeting.
SERMONS BY THREE PREACHERS.
Cottagers Dread the Toughs Who Will Go
to Arnold's Grove With the
Second Brigade.
DEACTIPUL. LOCATIOX'FOE THE CAMP.
The Association HOnnins Fince the Admission Tee
Vfas Abolished.
It takes more than a dashtcf the Alle
gheny to dampen the religious ardor of a
Methodist. The first Sunday of'the Valley
campmecting -was not the. most agreeable,
taVen all in all. The rain fell in torrents
during the morning service, but'the choir
came to the rescue witli a flow of song.
The people huddled close together in the
fld yellow seats under the central pavilion
and watched the-water runnine-down in big
streams from the edge of the canvas roof.
Later on the sun got the best of'the storm,
and drote the clouds away. Aided by a
terrific breeze for the last of July, which
was more like an equinoctial blast, the
ground was scon dried, and the balance of
the day was very pleasant.
The location of the camp ground is pic-,
turesque. A long stretch of fertile bottom
land skirting the river suddenly terminates
in a seres of abrupt hills covered with a
thick growih of trees. This is the famous
grove which the Methodists have dedi
cated to the worship of God. The pavilion
is situated on the top of a hill, and is sur
rounded bv rows of pretty cottages. To
stand on that hillside and take in the viewy
of the Allegheny Valley through the rifts
in the trees is worth a day's tim3 and the
excursion rate on the railroad. In the
distance can be seen ridges crested with,
vellow grain which has not been harvested,.
nnd looking down toward the river are the
level acres of the Stewart farm at Arnold
station, where the Second Brigade will
camp in August
CAN'T BLAME GENET! AI, 'WILEY.
After one sees the broad and flat stretch
of land he can't blame General "Wiley for
falling in love with the site even if it hap
pens to be near a new town. It will make
a magnificent dull ground. The cottagers
in Valley Camp look forward with pleasure
and some anxiety to the coming of the
troops. It is not the boys that they fear,
but the hancers on who may undertake to,
make life miserable for them. Agrcat crowd
of people is expect edduringthe encampment
and the plain will be filled with a multitude
of visitors and soldiers. The camp ground
is bounded on one side by the Stewart farm,
which the syndicate tried to sell to the city
to support its paupers. The game was
blocked, but there is no discount on the
beauty of the location or the fertility of the
toil. At this time the farm is teeming with
a wealth of crain and grtcn things. Across
the river are the flourishing towns of
Creighton and Tarentum.
The camp ground is a great summer resort
for a number of local people. The cottages
are numerous and cory. The grove
is really a delightful spot in
whieh to" spend the summer. The
association outside of the camprr.eeting
provide religious instruction on the Sab
bath da v for the women and children. Yes
terday fully 1.000 people were present, in
spite of the rain and attended the services
The outskirts of the woods were lined with
the rigs of country boys, who had brought
their girls and lunch with them. It pleases
these lads to gad a grove with a sweet
maiden on one arm and carrying abig car
riage whip in the other hand. It is one of
the pleasures of life, which, to deny them,
would be treason. livery year the
Allegheny Vallev road contributes a num
ber of headlights to nuke the grove bright
at night. To" these are added torches, fas
tened here and there to trees, and after
dark the scene is very pretty.
THE rATBIAl:CH IS ILL.
Among the cottagers was noticed a num
ber of Mtisburgers prominent in politics,
business and the professions. First in the
list was Joseph obbs, the patriarch, and
oldest man in the camp He was one of the
founders of the association, and he takes an
active interest in the work. The old gentle
man alway- spends his summers there, and
he lias made it a rule not to be varied. He
held the class meeting yesterday morninc,
and shortly afterward was taken violently
ilL Dr. Getzt. of Tarentuni, was' sum
moned, and soon relieicd his pain.
Yesterday attcrnoon he was much
better, "and no serious result is
anticipated. The politicians are well
represented by Frank Case and Bob Oster
maier. Mr. Case ueer forgets that he is
booming Dalzell for the League presidencv,
and he puts in a little work for his man in
a quiet wav on Sunday. There is nothing
like the influence oi good people, and a
shrewd politician knows it. In the 80 fam
ilies living there lor the summer these
names -were picked out as representative:
Charles Brown, Henry Lang, J. C. Farnell,
Charles Flaccus, the glass man; Mrs. T. B.
Stewart, Mrs. ltook, l'rof. Vilsack, Mrs. C.
"Wist, Mrs. Dr. Patterson, John G. Fox,
Cashier of the Allegheny Vallev Itoad;
Samuel Fullerton, John Kamsey, Mr.Shaw,
an Allegheny banker: James Cameron,
George Lytic and family, If. Sampson,
Joseph No'bbs. father of the camp; E. L.
GoiT, a son of Chancellor Golf; K. II. Kerr,
A. C Uobertson and others.
THBXE AVI.E lMJEACHEKS PKESEXT.
The religious part of the programme was
veil carried out jestcrday by Dr. J. T.
Satchell in the mornini, Dr. "V.. F. Old
ham in the afternoon, and Dr. C. V. "Wilson
at night. Thefe men, who preached able
sermons, arc recognized as umong the ablest
ministers in the denomination in this local
ity. Dr. Satchell is a new comer, but he
lias already earned a name for himself in
this section. All three men are of good
presence, and are blessed with strong, oro
tund voices. Dr. Oldham is of English
parentage and was bom in India. He has
traveled extensively, and punctu
ates his sermons "with apt illus
trations that catch the people.
Dr. "Wilson, with his square, stooped
louldcrs and smooth visage, looks like
Surjerintcndent Luckpy in the face, and not
unlike Keone as Jlicbard IlL Indeed, the
resemblance i so striking that the doctor
goes among his fellow ministers as King
Iti-'hard. "He was not a good ruler," he
said as he struck an attitude, contracted
his brow siid shrugged his shoulders, but
the picture was very much like the average
representation oi thf hump-backed English
monarch. "Not much wonder people say
you resemble liichard III, Doctor," re
marked a bj slander, "you ought to go on
the stage and piay the chnractcr without
a makeup."
In the i.iVruoon Dr. Oldham preached a
sermon on "i'raver." He said that what is,
i the best under the circumstances. The
cireutrsianoes are largely in the control of
lid, and in cominc to God it was in their
liaudb. The Lord does the best lie can,
jpided by thr conditions. Much, therc
loie, depends on the Mippliant, as to
whether the prayer U answered or not.
KINOSICY WAS MISTAKEN.
He claimed that all people living on the
earth t.rayed. He quoted Canon Kingslev
asiajing that dwart bushmen in Australia
were utterly ignorant ot a higher power,
i
and mat t.neyncrcr cent the Knee to anything.
This was disproved later by John Patton,
who lived for a long time among them and
won their confidence. He discovered that
they were in the habit of going into the
detiths of the forest and humbling them
selves before chicken bones and other insig
nificant objects. Stanley was also quoted
as claiming that a certain race of dwarfs in
the jungles of Africa never proved. Dr.
Oldham wagered that if a thorough investi
gation were made the explorer's state
ments would be disproved. The sermon
was very instructive, and attentively
listened to by a large audience.
In the evening Dr. AVilson occupied the
pulpit. His subject was "Whose I Am
and "Whom I Serve." These were the words
Paul used on the ship Alexandria, when
they were overtaken by a storm and were in
danger of sinking. The" Doctor tried to
show how a Christian knows whether he is
saved or not. He illustrated the subject by
an example. A man 6ells a house to an
other. The new owner knows the house be
longs to him, because he is on the inside
and the former tenant ou the outside. In a
similar manner the Christian surrenders
himselt to God. His will becomes the will
of Christ, and He dwells within him.
The morning service was conducted by
the Iter. J. T. Satchell. His subject was,
"The Love of Christ Constraineth Us,"
intebeupteh by kain.
During his sermon the rain commenced
to fall, and he had to stop for about 15
minutes. The choir sang during the storm,
and nobody left the auditorium. The
Doctor made a good impression. His de
livery is pleasing and his argument con
vincing. The annual meeting of the asso
ciation will be held on the camp ground
this afternoon at 4 o'clock. The association
is managed by a board of 25 members. John
Kamsey at present is acting chairman. Mr.
Sampson was elected president, but
he found his business required
the most of his time, and he
retired. It is expected that the board will
be re-elected with one or two exceptions.
As the positions are honorary there is no
rivalrv for place, and the best of feeling
prevails. Taking everything into considera
tion the association is flourishing. Secre
tary John Stewart, who is a very affable
gentleman, said it was the intention to
build a new auditorium during the year.
The necessity for such a building was dem
onstrated during the rain yesterday. The
water poured down on the canvass roof and
drowned the voice of the speaker. The
wings on the side are a little dilapidated,
and could stand a little renewal.
Mr. Stewart said he didn't know what
itwould cost. That part of the transaction
will depend on the discretion of the board.
The grounds are mortgaged for about $2,500,
which is being gradually reduced. Alto
gether he was very much pleased with the
financial condition of the association.
"Two years ago," continued Mr. Stewart,
"the charge of 10 cents admission to the
ground was abolished. "We believe in
opening the place to the public free of cost.
The organization is not a money-making
scheme. I think, however, that we had
larger crowds before the admission fee was
abolished than we have now. The order
has always been good, and we never had an
arrest orr the grounds.
DON'T NEED A rOLICESTAN.
"We do not even employ a policeman.
Of course, country people will get up dur
ing a sermon and walk out. This is an an
noying feature, but they are used to it, and
we can't complain. We arc fortunate in
having only good and orderly people in at
tendance. All the cottages but a few are
taken by families who will spend the sum
mer here. The campmeeting will last ten
days, and after that there will be preaching
and Sunday School every Sabbath for the
benefit of the residents. During the mili
tary encampment at Arnold's Grove a con
cert will be given on the grounds for the
entertainment of the cottagers. We usually
do something of this kind every summer to
make life pleasant for them."
During the last year t,ome improvements
have been made on the ground. The hotel
was repaired and new boardwalks were laid.
It is a difficult matter to keep the walks in
condition. They are built on the slopes of
the hills, and the water soon rots the wood.
Superintendent Edward McCabe is the same
genial hustler he always was, and nothing
pleases him mon than to look after the
welfare of the reporters. An innovation
was also made looking to the comfort of the
ministers while on the ground. The ladies
have furnished a cottage for their use, and
it is much appreciated by the gospel dis
pensers. INTEREST IN ATHLETICS.
The athletic association is in better shape
than it has been since the opening of tne
camp. A number of college boys are liv
ing in the cottages and they take consider
able interest in outdoor sports. A new
baseball ground has been rented and leveled
on the top of the hilL The camp boasts of a
baseball club that is a terror to the local
teams. Three tennis conrts have also been
made. The young ladies enjov the game,
and any afternoon a party of them may be
seen playing tennis.
The hotel is good enough for 50 cents a
meal. The people in charge arc kind-hearted
and well meaning. A gentleman yester
day had au experience while eating his
dinner which made him laugh heartily after
ward. A tempting pitcher of milk at a
distance suddenly lost much of its charm
for him by the presence of a fly swimming
on the surface.
"Will you kindly remove the floater," he
said to the girl in waiting.
"The what? I don't understand," she re
plied. "The insect," he answered, blandly.
"Ah, you mean the fly. Certainly. Let
me have your fork," and she suited the ac
tion to the word. The fly was soon dangling
on the end of the prongs, and the maid,
with a self-satisfied air, returned the fork
to the guest. With a slight faintneEs he
waited until the young- InAyt turned her
back, not wishing to hurt her feelings, and
then he dived across the table and got an
other. The dinner was resumed and finished
without further interruption.
THE PKOGEAMME rOK THE TOEK.
During the week the feature will be
children's day on Thursday. In the morn
ing addresses will be made by Rev. Dr.
Miles, Mrs. Anna De Knight Bobinson,
from the Indian reservation, and others. At

jnbilee. and an entertainment will be given
by the little folks of Valley Camp. In the
evening Itev. C M. Miller, of Burmah, will
deliver a lecture.
THE FIEST VICTIM Iff HOCK.
A Dog Dri en Onto tho Streets on Account
of the License Law.
The police at the Thirty-sixth ward sta
tion have a prisoner out of the ordinary
run. It is a shepherd dog, about 2years old,
entirely blind. The dog was picked up by
Officers Wilkes and Gillespie, whose atten
tion w as attracted by the strange actions of
of the animal. It was walking along the
street, and would strike against telegraph
poles, fire plugs and other obstructions.
They took the animal to the station, and
will cure for it.
It is. reported that the owner of the dog
turned it out when the city ordinance im
posing a license on dogs became a law, not
caring to pay the fee.

THE
TOOK A SUNDAY 1.
Jacob C. Alles Breaks Out of the St.
Francis Hospital and
EKJOYS A HILAEIOUS OLD TIME.
Thinks It Fnn to Terrorize His
Threatening to Eill Her.
Wife,
HE HAS NO OBJECTIONS TO GOIXG BACK
A tall, rather handsome, well-dressed
young man walked into the office of the
Seventh Avenue hotel yesterday afternoon
and asked for a room. The register was
turned toward him and with a majestic
flourish he wrote: "Jacob C. Alles, Pitts
burg." The clerk started as he saw the signature.
He remembered the real estate agent who
lost his mind and was sent to the insane
department of St. Francis hospital a week
ago. Alles looked so cool and self-possessed
and so much unlike a man minus part of his
headgear that the clerk curbed his
curiosity and refrained from any queries
a3 to how he came there. After
being assigned a room Alles sauntered
leisurely to the front of the office, threw
himself into an easy chair, produced a cigar
and composed himself comfortably for a few
hours indolent enjoyment. The cigar was
half smoked and its owner was tiring of his
chair when Detective McTighe tapped him
on the shoulder.
"Come up to the station, Alles," said the
officer.
WANTED TO CArTDBE MARSH.
"It's ago, John, on one condition," re
plied Alles. "That is, you must help me
capture Marsh, the Philadelphia defaulter.
I know where he is."
The detective agreed and they left the
hotel. On arriving at Central station Alles
greeted everybody he knew with a smile
and pleasant word. He was in capital
spirits. According to his story he had en
joyed his liberty hugely and was not at all
backward about telling how he had passed
the time. He regarded his escape from the
hospital as one ot the best jokes he knew
and soon had a circle of people about him
listening to his story of how he got out,
which he told with great glee.
The first day he was in the hospital he de
termined to take the earliest opportunity to
get away. As the week wore on the longing
for libertv crew corresDondinelv stroneer.
but the desired state of affairs did not prom
ise to come very soon. There was plenty of
time for meditation behind the bars, and
Alles spent most of it figuring on the best
method to pursue in putting some distance
between himself and the institution of
which lie was forcibly an inmate. Yester
day morning the chance he had been look
ing for come unexpectedly. It was Sunday
morning and all the attendants were at
early mass. Out in the corridor nobody
was to be seen but a little half-witted boy
wandering aimlessly about.
QUITE IIAITY OVEH THE TKOSFECT.
Alles was happy over the prospect. Pro
ducing an old nail he had hidden in his cell
he began working at the bolt and soon had
it pushed back. Stepping out in the corri
dor Alles saluted the boy.
"Sonny, do vou want to get out?"
"Yes," replied the boy, and his big,
staring eyes sparkled with pleasure.
"All right, then, do as I tell you. Get
into this cell and keep quiet until I come
for you."
The demented lad obeyed quickly and
Alles chuckled gaily as he pushed the bolt
over and locked the little fellow in. The
place was apparently deserted and Alles lost
no time in slipping quietly "out to the street
unobserved. After getting safely away he
started at once for his home. Mrs. Alles
was startled when she saw him come march
iiic into the house. She began asking an
"explanation, but he quickly silenced her by
picking up a heavy brush and waving It in
a threatening manner.
"Don't say a word or I'll throw this at
yon and kill you," commanded Alles.
Then he began marching about the house
enjoying the novel sensation of terrifying
Mrs. Alles, who was confronted with the
upheld brush every time she attempted to
speak. Finally tiring of this amusement,
Alles left the house and proceeded at once
to a livery stable, where he hired a horse
and buggy.
AN AMUSING STEEET SCENE.
During the remainder of the forenoon
and part of the afternoon he drove gaily
about the streets, saluting his friend's
majestically wherever he passed them.
After several hours riding became tire
some, so he tied the horse on Smithfield
street, near Sixth avenue, and went down to
the Seventh Avenue Hotel. Officer Grimes
noticed the horse standing there hour after
hour, and finally, thinking something
wrong, took the rig to Burns & Jahn's
livery stable to await the appearance of the
owner. Alles was not at all surprised when
Detective McTighe took him to Central sta
tion. He rather enjoyed the affair. After
having recounted tho experiences of the
day he suggested to McTighe that he might
as "well go the hospital. All he wanted was
a Sunday to enjoy himself as he chose, and,
having had it to his heart's content, he was
perfectly willing to go back. As the two
started away to take the street car Alles
called back merrily:
"I am going to suggest th3t they abolish
early mass if they want to keep me in."
E0TH HIS LEGS CRUSHED.
A lG-Tear-Old Boy Badly Injured While
at "Work.
Philip Probst, a 10-ycar-old boy employed
at the Keystone Bridge Works, met with a
very painful accident while at work Satur
day afternoon. He was working about
some machinery when, in some manner,
both his legs got caught, and before tho
machinery could be stopped his limbs
were badly crushed.
The injured boy was removed to St. Fran
cis Hospital for treatment.
TJHDEB A WOODPILE.
Boys Discover Hidden Money Supposed to
Belong to a Demented Man.
A number of boys were playing ball on
Miltenbcrger street yesterday morning when
one of them knocked tho ball under a pile
of lumber in Martin's lumber yard. When
the boy reached in to get the ball he
discovered several silver dollars. A further
investigation was made and in a short time
they had fished out from under the pile
12 75 in coin.
It is thought the money was hid under
the lumber by an old man slightly demented
who lhcs on Ann street.

PITTSBURG DISPATCH,
BOTH BRUTALLY BEATEN.
John Cleason and John Leahey Receive
Terrible Treatment at the Hands of a
Gang of Men Kicked and Hammered
Till Unconscious.
A disgusting sight was witnessed by
people living near Craft avenue and Forbes
street last evening about C o'clock. John
Gleason and John Leahey were terribly
beaten by a crowd ,of men they had
been spending the afternoon with. The
whole party had been visiting speak-easies
in the Fourteenth ward, about Soho, and
were all more or less intoxicated. In the
evening Gleason was accused, ' of having
given information to the police, resulting
In the closing up of a speak-easy in which
his accuser had been interested. Gleason
denied tho charge. The other members of
the party, while pretending to believe him,
decided to punish him and started off with
him for that purpose.
They had reached the corner of Forties
street and Craft avenme when Gleason rc
lused to go any further. Then it was that
his supposed friends assaulted him. They
first attacked him with fists, four men at
once, and although he was a big strong fel
low amply, capable of taking care of him
self with'any one of them, he was finally
knocked down on the sidewalk. Four men
then began to kick the poor fellow in the
face, ou the head and all over the body,
sinkine. their boot heels into his face and
behaving like fiends. Gleason was uncon
scious before this kind of work had con
tinued long, but his assailants were not sat
isfied until they ran out into the street and
began throwing cobble stones at his pros
trate form.
This act was even too brutal for Leahey,
who had'up to this been merely a spectator,
and he ran in to save Gleason. The four
men who had assaulted Gleason at once
turned upon Leahey and knocked him
down. Two men then devoted themselves
to kicking him, while the other two, not
satisfied with the treatment they had given
Gleason, returned and resumed the attack
by striking him on the face and head with
their hootheels.
The men would probably have killed both
Gleasonand Leahey outright had not some
one living near telephoned for the patrol
wagon. Its approach was noted by some of
the other members of the gang who had not
participated in the assault, and the alarm
being given there was no one in sight but
the two prostrate, unconscious victims of the
assault when the wagon reached the spot.
The two injured men were taken to
the Fourteenth ward police station,
where by the use of restorations they were
finally revived and attended by a physician.
They "gave the police the names of some of
the men and warrants are out for their
arrest.
It Is not known just how serious Gleason's
injuries are, but as he is bruised from head
to foot, they may result very badly. The
arrival of the police saved Leahey from as
severe punishment as Gleason received, but
he is also in bad shape.
A 8KEFTICAL D0CT0B.
He Takes No Stock in Stories About Ani
mals Living in the Stomach.
"It has been demonstrated more than
once that the gastric juice in the stomach
will digest anything living," remarked a
physician last evening. "I do not be
lieve the stories you often see in
the newspapers about snakes and
other animals existing for months
in the stomachs of men. If you swallow a
small reptile while drinking water from a
spring, in due course of time I will wager
that the creature will become part and par
cel of you through digestion and assimila
tion. I have experimented with a dog in a
rather-cruel way, but it proves my assertion.
I once cut into a dog s side and placed
the ear of a live rabit in the stomach. Sev
eral hours afterward the end of the ear was
gone as if it had been cut off with a sharp
knife. The gastric juice had pulverized it.
"Now then, how do you suppose I can
accept the story of Jonah and the whale.
He lived in the animal three
days, I believe. Besides that
a whale can't swallow -anf! oV
ject as large as a man. They live on
the small fish of the sea. In the mouth is a
kind of a sieve, through which the whale's
food passes into the stomach. The animal
swims through the water with its jaws
spread apart and scoops up small objects in
the trap. Snakes swallow toads alive, but
in a short time they are dead."
KNOCKED HIS BDTT SILLY.
An Allegheny Man Who Sued for False
Arrest HeldtUp Again.
Detective Steele and Captain Bell, of Al
legheny, had quite a fight yesterday in raid
ing the speak-easy of John Mendel, at 15
Saw Mill alley. The proprietor made a des
perate fight, but was finally overpowered,
and he and Herman Henshue and Peter
Rutich were in Central station.
The story of the raid is in the
fact that the house at 15 Saw Mill
alley has been raided a number of times..
The last was scarcely six weeks ago and the
proprietor received a 30 days' sentence.
When he was released he at once got a
transcript of the docket and entered suit for
false arrest. He claimed that he had not
kept a speak-easy, because the officers
had not produced any liquor from
his place in evidence. Yesteiday
a search was made and the beer was found
in a vault beneath the cellar. The officer
took a case of it along with the prisoners.
The other raid made in Allegheny yester
day was that of Peter SchelL His resort at
24 Juniata street was disturbed at 3:30 by
Captain Bell and Officers Shoemaker and
Heins. There were 19 men and one woman
captured. Sixty Italian men room at the
place.
A WIFE-BEATEE LANDED.
Charles Janauscheck In Jail, Awaiting the
Result or Injuries to His Wife.
Shortly before 12 o'clock Saturday night
Police Officer Barney Smith was called to
56 Magnolia street, Twenty-seventh ward,
by cries of "Help!" "Murder!" etc. He
found Mrs. Charles Janauscheck in bed, al
most dead from a severe beating said-to have
been given her by her husband. Jan
auscheck was still at the house and was
promptly arrested and locked up. The
neighbors say that Janauscheck and his
wife began quarreling early in the evening,
without any apparent cause.
Japauschcck was not given a hearing by
Alderman Succop at the regular Sunday
hearings, but was sent to jail on a charge of
aggravated assault and battery, to await the
result of his wife's injuries. She was una
ble to get up yesterday.
ONE GALLON IN EVEBY F0UB.
What a Salt lake City Man Has to Say or
tho Water of the lake.
J. A. Humricker, of Salt Lake City, was
at the St Charles yesterday. Mr. Hum
ricker says that since the legislation on the
subject four years ago polygamy is rapidly
aying out. j.u ouii a. uu utuuits nave
assumed the control of affairs, and now
Mormonism is no longer apparent.
Mr. Humricker says the lake is as salty
as ever. It is 400 miles long and 4 miles
wide, and so dense is the water that four
gallons of it will yield one gallon of salt
A man standing in the water could not sink
below his chest. Crystalized salt is ob
tained by dipping tongs in the water and
permitting the water adhering to them to
condense.

written and forwarded to The Dispatcii
for publication a statement regarding his
position and that of the organization re
garding the late carpenters' strike. In it
he says just what was stated in The Dis
FATCn in regard to the same matter; and
that denials were ineffectually sought to be
given as to the accuracy of these statements
did not then, nor do they now, detract
from the truth of the matter printed in
these columns at tho time. Mr. McGuire's
letter, which was received yesterday, is as
follows:
Philadelphia, July 25, 1891.
To All Whom It Mav Concern :
So much has been said about the recent
strike of the carpenters of Pittsburg that in
duty to myself and the United Brotherhood
1 am impelled to make this statement to the
public. Ainld all the slanderous censure
and adverse criticism hurled in Pittsburg at
the organization, and at your humble serv
ant, I havo refrained from entering into
public print until now. 1 was in hopes that
all tho Idle talk and baseless gossip would
give way to better counsel. And out of due
lespect for the feelings of the men In Pitts
burg who held out on strike so many weeks,
I felt Inclined to rather bear unmerited
blame than to make any statement preju
dicial to them in any way. Now, however,
I cannot forbear any longer, and wish tho
world to know tbe real facts so far as the
general officers aro concerned.
THE STRIKE NEVER AUTHORIZED.
First The carpenters' strike in Pittsburg
was never legally or constitutionally sanc
tioned by tho General Executive Board of
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters.
Hence, full financial aid from our organiza
tion could not bo given under our laws.
Second The carpenters of Pittsburg went
out on strike May 4 solely on the authority
of their own District Council, despite official
advice from headquarters for them to w ait
until later in the season.
Third For the whole first week of their
strike, the men in Pittsburg entirely Ignored
this office and sent it no official information
of any kind as to the status of the strike.
And on my arrival at Pittsburg, May 11. Mr.
W. II. Irwin, in the presence of members,
said he was advised to send me no informa
tion. Fourth In an informal conference nt the
Builders' Exchange at Pittsburg, on May 11,
I learned from the contractors that prior to
the strike a conference had been entered
into between both sides, and that the Dis
trict Council had broken it off without
cause very abruptly. On investigation I
found this to be true, and at the meeting of
tho District Council on May 12 I Induced
the District Couucil to re-open negotiations
for a future conference, and they did so. At
this meeting of the Council I further urged
that the mill men and machine hands be
allowed to return to work, as I considered
it a mistako to have over called them out in
the recent strike. But in this, as well as in
some other matters, I was overruled by tho
District Council.
Fifth Full financial aid was never guar
anteed by mo to tho carpenters' strike of
Pittsburg. But after I had come to Pitts
burg and witnessed the solidity and deter
mination of tho men, I was urged to consult
the General Executive Board, and I tele
graphed them from Pittsburg. They author
ized me to give such donations of money
from time to time as we could sparo to aid
the men on strike inPitt6burg. And in this
way at different times w o sent them dona
tions amounting in all to $13,000.
SO FINANCIAL AID PROMISED.
Sixth President Gompers, of tho Ameri
can Federation of Labor, nevor made any
promises of financial help to the carpenters
of Pittsburg. The Federation under its laws
cannot render any help to any trade in any
city unless tho strike is first sanctioned in
acoordunco with the constitution and rules
of the national organization of that trade.
The Pittsburg carpenters' strike having
never been legally sanctioned bofore the
men went out, the American Federation of
Labor could not be called on. ,
Seventh Tho carpenters of Pittsburg
were on strike at a very unfavorable time
when work was scarce, and such buildings
as were under way were delayed by the
prior strike of the stonemasons and the sub
sequent strike of the bricklayers.
Lighth It was unreasonable and a bad
policy to Involve the mlllmen and machine
hands in the eight-hour strike. By doing so
the strikers cut off in a large measure their
own base of supplies for furnishing mtll
Btnffs and material to contractors favorable
to the eight-hour day. The mill bosses felt
the nine-hour day to he some hardship in
competition with mill materials coming
fiom ton-hour towns. And to inaugurate
tne eignt-uour uay in tne mius wouia make
their hardship all tho greator. Thlsled the
mill bosses to join hands with tho Builders
Exchange, and all the more solidified tho
employers, while on this very subject there
was dissention among the mon.
THE COUNCIL OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED.
Ninth The appeal of Union 230 of Pitts
burg against the action of the District Coun
cil of Pittsburg was sustained by decision
of the Genoral Executive Board on-April 17,
and Union 230 and the council n ere so noti
fied. The reason for sustaining the appeal
of Union 230 was that the new working rules
of tho council were never adopted by a two
third vote of the members of tho union in the
Pittsburg district, as required by our laws.
Tho General Executive Board then recom
mended that a new voto bo takon on these
trade rules, as well as on tho proposition to
strike, so as to comply with our laws and to
gain time, and not havo a strike until the
season was more favorable. But this deci
sion of our G. E. B. was unheedod by tho
District Council of Pittsburg.
Tenth Many of tho promises of money.nnd
of visits from me at various times, were
made without my authority solely to bolster
up the men and hold them out.
In conclusion, I will say the carpenters of
Pittsburg oortainly made a heroic strug
gle against fearful odds. The liolp the
United Brotherhood gave them was given
out of a desire to show them we did not wish
to abandon them in their struggle, even
though they had been unmindful of our
laws, and had given no hcod to our advico
and decisions. It was out or a feeling of
sympathy and fraternity for them that wo
rendered them nuy aid. And wore all the
lacts made known by the few men in Pitts
burg familiar with tho .facts, tho present ant
agonistic leollng expressed against myself
and tho general officers would be replaced
hy kinder and more favorable considera
tion. Yours truly.
P. J. McGuire.
THBEATENED TO SHOOT.
Charles Lindsay, of Washington Count-,
Locked Up on That Charge.
Shortly before 11 o'clock last night Ber
nard Farrell, of 97 "Washington street, had
Officer Diebold, of the Southside, arrest
Charles Lindsay, a colored man. Parrell
says he was sitting on his doorsteps last
evening when Lindsay came up to him and
demanded admission to his house. Farrell,
not knowing him, refused admittance, and
Lindsay threatened to shoot him. Farrell
says he requested Lindsay to move on, and
before he did so.Liudsay struck him in the
face. Farrell followed him to the bottom of
the Knoxville incline, where he met Officer
Diebold, stated his case, and Lindsay was
placed under arrest and locked up on a
charge of disorderly conduct.
Lindsay tells a story just tho opposite of
Farrell's, and says he comes from Washing
ton county.
HAT BE SOLD IH A MOHTH.
A Iteport Going the Bounds Abont the
llarracks on Penn Avenne.
An officer of the Interior department was
in the city some time ago. Yesterday Cap
tain Chalmers, in charge of the barracks on
Penn avenue, said he had been told by Col.
Morgan that the ground would be sold in
side of 30 days. The colonel had received
his information indirectly, but it comes
from the Interior department.
Captain Chalmers remarked that he did
not believe the property would be disposed
of before spring. It is a valuable site, fac
ing .Garrison alley and Penn avenue, and a
number of people are after it. If it is to be
sold the fact will be advertised in advance,
and it will be done by auction.

Half a hundred Saturday night sinners

Magistrate Hyndman disposed of six
common cases at the Nineteenth ward

Tho hearings at the Twelfth and Seven
teenth ward stations, while largo in tho
number of prisoners, were laoking in inter

dignity of a $5 fine. There were 19 prisoners
in tho Twelfth ward and 7 In the Seven
teenth ward stations.
.
Allegheny's Police Business.
Mayor Wyman, of Allegheny, had 27 cases
before him. Mary Miller and Charles Helm

and his wife were arrested at No. 72 Saw
Mill alley for fighting among themselves
and calling the neighbors nnmos. They
were hold over until to-day, when the
neighbors will appear against them.
WHISKY DBINKOTG IN KEHTTCKY.
Tho Liquor Bonght Bown There by the
Bottle, and Not by the Glass.
Fred Lawrence, the veteran newspaper
man, and at present representative in ad
vance of Barnum & Bailey's show, looked
out of his room window in the Seventh
Avenue yesterday afternoon and silently
blessed the blue laws which prevented his
buying a cigar on the Sabbath. Mr. Law
rence is. however, an old traveler, and he
soon forgot to repine at what he could not
alter.
"Of the many sections of the country I
have traveled over," he said, in the course
of a chat, "I like Kentucky as well as any.
Gentle and chivalrous, courageous and hos
pitable, the Kentuckian acknowledges no
man as his superior; nor should he, in a
State so celebrated for its women, whisky
and horses. The first time I was in Lex
ington I was initiated into the science of
drinking pursued in the Blue Grass State.
There is no doubt about the quality of the
whisky they drink there; you could not
deceive a schoolboy with inferior
liquor. But the system is peculiar.
If yon are invited into a saloon
by Colonel Smith and Colonel Brown the
bartender hands down either Colonel's bottle
from the shelf, and it is passed around.
Then the other Colonel orders his bottle
down and that goes around. Kentuckians
buy their whisky by the bottle and not by
the glass, and they drink it without water.
It is considered too good to spoil by dilut
ing it."
TJSIN G THE BICYCLE.
Tho
Postofiice Messengers Making Good
Time in the East End.
The messengers at the East End station of
the postofiice are now using bicycles in
making deliveries of special stamp letters.
Postmaster McKean says their ayerage time
in delivering is 25 minutes", but the boys
claim that with the wheel they have re
duced it to seven. The postmaster is
pleased with the push of the youngsters,
and at this rate they give promise of going
higher at a rapid pace.
On the quiet streets of the East End the
bicycle can be used to good advantage for
this purpose, but in the heart of the city
the plan wouldn't work well. The post
master has not given up the idea of putting
boxes in the street cars.
HHBPHY'S LOOKING BACKWAB.D.
The Big Chief Already Planning for the
Next Fonrth of July.
Chief Murphy, of the Department of
Public Safety, Allegheny, contemplates
having a display of fireworks for the citi
zens of Allegheny on next Fourth of July.
As yet it is only a dream which has not
assumed tangible form, but beyond question
it will develop into the most solid reality
by the time summer comes.
It is the big chiefs belief that he can find
enough patriotic citizens in Allegheny to
contribute to a fund of 31,000 or $2,000,
which in his estimation would be sufficient
to make a creditable display on the top of
Seminary Hill.
A CBAZY MAN'S ANTICS.
Ho Attempts to Throw Little Willlo Tro
"bock Into the Blver.
Complaint was made to Policeman Young,
of the Southside, yesterday that an insane
man had thrown a 10-year-old boy into the
Monongahela river from the Monongahela
Connecting Bailroad Company's bridge.
On investigation Officer Young learned
Jthat a man, suppposed to be demented, at
tempted to throw Willie Trobock into tne
river, but could not learn the whereabouts
of young Trobock's assailant.
Thrown From a Horse.
A 5-year-old son of Michael Sinter, of
2506 Carson street, was riding a horse yes
terday evening along Carson street, when
the horse became frightened at a passing
electric car and threw the boy into the
street, giving him a severe shaking up and
several bad bruises.
A Large Milk Shake.
A horse of the Twenty-Seventh ward
dairy ran away yesterday on Carson street.
In attempting to turn the corner at Twenty
sixth street the animal fell, breakintr the
shafts and spilling several gallons of milk. J
PIERCED BY A BALL.
Terrible Accident in Allegheny City-
Early Sunday Mornin?;.
ISAAC MOODY FATALLY WOUNDED
He Makes a Statement Exonerating
Friend From Blame.
Hi3
DOCTORS CAXXOT FIND ME BULLET
Isaac Moody, who was shot in Allegheny
early yesterday morning, is still at the Al
legheny General Hospital. Last evening he
was not expected to live through the night.
The shooting was accidental, and in a depo
sition made by Moody yesterday he exoner
ated "Whitehead from all blame.
Mr. "Whitehead, who is employed at the
brass works, went to the office on Saturday
night to do some work. "While there he
heard somebody moaning out in the yard,
and investigating the cause of it found the
watchman, John Dempster, lying in a
drunken sleep, with a revolver in his
hand. He took the firearm and wakened
Dempster up, and told him he had better
make his rounds of the works. Dempster
wanted the revolver, but Mr. "Whitehead re
fused to give it to him, and went back in
the office.
Shortly afterward Mr. Moody came in,
and the twemen went out together to get
shaved at a neighboring barber shop. "While
there "Whitehead told Moody of taking the
revolver from Dempster, and asked him to
go back with him to return it. On the way
they decided to remove the cartridges from
the revolver, as Dempster was drunk and
not responsible. They stopped on Lacock
street while "Whitehead took a lead pencil
and shoved the cartridges out. Moody
stood in front of him, holding his hand to
catch them as they fell.
HOW MOODY WAS SHOT.
The last cartridge was hard to remove,
and Whitehead placed his thumb on the1
hammer of the revolver to raise it and
allow the chamber to turn around, but as he
did so the hammer slipped, fell on the cart
ridge and exploded it, the ball being dis
charged and entering Moody's stomach.
Police Officer Shoemaker was near at
hand and hearing the shot ran to the men.
He knew them both, and "Whitehead said to
him: "I shot this man accidentally."
Moody replied: "No, I'm not shot," but
both were taken to the patrol box and the
wagon sent for. "While waiting on it
Moody fook sick and said he had a pain in
his stomach, but still declared he was not
shot. "W'en taken to the lockup Superin
tendent Muth examined him and found a
wound just below the belt.
Dr. E. C Huselton was sent for at once
and promptly ordered the man's removal to
the hospital, and in half an hour he was at
that institution. Mr. "Whitehead was de
tained to await the result of the injury.
Sir. Moody sank steadily through the night,'
and yesterday morning Dr. Foster, who
took charge of him at the hospital, said he
would positively die. Then Mayor's Clerk
Hunneshagen and Superintendent Muth
'took his deposition. In effect he said he
saw Mr. "Whitehead at the latter's office on
Sandusky street about 11 o'clock on Satur
day night.
KNEW IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
Mr. "Whitehead showed him a revolver
which he took from the watchman, who was
intoxicated. They left and went to a bar
ber shop on Federal street. Mr. White
head took the cartridges out of the revolver
and he (Moody) put them in his pocket.
Mr. Whitehead was looking at or playing
with the trigger when it was discharged.
Moody walked away saying, "My God I I'm
shot. He did not feel it until afterward.
He also stated he was satisfied it was not
done intentionally, but was a mere accident,
a3 they were the best of friends, and he
fully exonerated Mr. Whitehead from all
blame in the matter.
Moody has been boarding at 90 Robinson
street for the last two months and asked
Superintendent Muth to telegraph his wife
of the accident, at 201 Eighth street, Troy,
If. Y. Last night the telegram was re
turned, saying Mr3. Moody was not known
there. When that was told to Moody he
then asked that word be sent her at Stan
fordville, !N. Y. Up to 11 o'clock no an
swer had been received from there. No
body seems to know anything of his home
or friendi. It was expected he would die
this morning, as his pulse and heart were
very weak and failing rapidly. He was
being relieved of excruciating pain hy mor
phine. WANDERED FE0H HOME.
A Demented Man at the Twenty-Eighth
Ward Station Awaiting Identification.
A man, apparently slightly demented,
was picked up by Officers Iliege and Coch
ran on Carson street, at 12 o'clock Saturday
night. He is unable to tell much about
himself. He says his name is William
Glenn and his residence Duqucsnc Heights.
He had with him a satchel containing a lot
of wearing apparel and a letter addressed to
H. Glenn, No. 10 Grandview avenue, Pitts
burg. The police are investigating his case, and
in the meantime he will remain at the
Twenty-eigth ward police station.

WILLING TO JUJEDEB HTH.
A Wire Who Would Kin Her Husband IT
Promised a Light Sentence.
Marriage is certainly a failure so far as
an Allegheny woman is concerned. Her
name is 3Iary Miller, and its fame has
traveled as far as Claremont many a time.
Her town residence is on Middle street, but
of late years she has not occupied it very
much, as her residence up the Allegheny
river is frequently prescribed for her
health's sake.
Yesterday the poor woman was sent to
Claremont again for 90 days. She and
Charles Helm had been celebrating Satur
day night together, and they rode to Cen
tral station in the same wagon. Her com
panion went ten days to jail, but she was
retired from society and wiU not return
until Halloween.
Before leaving yesterday she ave to ona
of the officers a bit of her family history.
She has been married for ten years, and
says it was her husband who drove her to
drink. She declares he ill-treated and
abused her. He would go away for
days and them come home drunk.
She believed she would be a
good woman if he were only out of the
way, and remarked to the turnkey: "I
kind of like the workhouse, but they tell
me it is pleasanter to live at the peniten
tiary. Say, if I was certain that I would
not get more than 12 years, I would kill my
husband. He is no good in this world, any
way." HOW THEY KEEP GAME.
Texas Planters Use Ammonia to Prevent
the Meat From Spoiling.
"Down in Texas," remarked an old hun
ter yesterday, "they have a habit of pre
serving game by freezing water around it.
It is done by the use of ammonia, and
I have teen birds and rabbits
kept in this way for six months.
I am told that much of the game sold in
Northern markets in the winter time comes
from the South, and it has been killed many
moons before it is consumed. As long ag
the meat is not tainted it is all right.
"For that matter venison should be a
little bit turned before it is eaten. This is
true of mutton and beef also. Fresh meat
is always tough. The tissue becomes ten
der by keeping it for awhile before it is
served."
