THE "PITTSBURG DISPATCH, FRIDAY. JULY 81, 1891.
IIT A SIGH OF PEACE
Tarentum Camp Ground Lot .Holders
Still Triumphant Over the
Ministerial Faction.
LEGALLY THEY ABE THE3YIXKERS,
JJnt the Whole Institution of Campmeet-
inps 3Iay Fall en Account
of This Trouble.
a E. LOCKE SAYS THEY AiJUOUT OP DATE
Another minister Thinks It Is Wronglto Charge an
Admission Fee.
The rupture between the lotholders of
Tarentum. M. K. cainpmeeting .ground and
the preneliers is no nearer mending than be
fore. Last mgut a meeting of tho Committee
on Keliglons Services washeld iniaccordanco
with the instructions of the Board of
Trustees.
The committee as originally appointed
consist of two ministers and throe laymen.
JJoth the ministerial members, Kev. "William
Johnston, ol Xatrona, and Urv. Wesley
lleade. of Allegheny City, notified tho com
mittee that they refused to servo
upon it. Hew Mr. Johnston. how
ever, also notified he committee that
he is still the representative appointed
by Presiding Elder Petty to conduct
the campmeetlng. The lay members of tho
committee are E. C Gough, ot Pittsburg;
James Kentiedy. oi Tarentum, and John
Shook, of Allegheny. Mr. James Kennedy,
of Tarentum, was made a member of tho
committee by the President in place of
Samuel Klingensmith. of Hites. At its meet
ing last night the committee passed a reso
lution to emplov some reputable evangelist
to preach during the campmeeting, and to
invito all clergymen to tako part in the
religious services. The committee in thus
preparing the programme forthe campmeet
ing ithout the assistance of Presiding
Elder Petty is simply taking advantage of
thcprhilego accorded it by tho charter of
the Camp Association.
ir-OAM-Y the ELnr.K is kot nr it.
A lawyer who has examined the charter
pronounces the position of the lot holders
unquestioned, and tho authority assumed
by the piosiding e'der in his arbitrary stand
as untenable.
A soon as details are completed another
meeting of the committee will be held. The
committee also set aside Saturday. August
15, as the fortieth anniversary of the camp
meeting. It is expected to have many vet
eran Methodists present -who went from
Pittsburg to campmeeting -SO j ears ago on
canal boats.
The trouble over the opening or the gates
at the Tarentum campmeeting ground, as
detailed fully in yesterday's Dispatch, may
lead to the abolishment of campmeetings
as a icature of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. For some time there has bocn a
growing feeling amoix; the ministry of that
Church that this form of worship has out
lived its usefulness.
Most of the ministry seem to favor the
exclusion, at least, of tho general public
from campmeeting ground from Saturday
night until Monday morning. They believe
that there is a, chance for campmeetings
when condneted on the plan fo!lo ed by tho
people at Chautauqua. They think that it
gives too much encouragement to Sunday
railroad travel and hint at the bare possibil
ity that some one may make satisfactory ar
rangements with the railroads.
A talk w ith many of the ministers brought
out the fact that there is policy in Chris
tianity as well as in politics and business.
Many of the preachers are against open
campmeetings on Sundays, but the feeling is
not yet strong enough for them to make a
stand and for t lie sake of policy they thought
they had better not be quoted. Kev. W. V.
Connor, of the Arch Street t. E. Church of
Allegheny, was one who was not afraid to
talk. Only on Wednesday he had conferred
on him the title of Doctor of Divinity. After
telling what a pleasant surpri-e that had
been for him he said-
I'KEAlHJ-.n.N OPPOSE THE 5IOVE.
I understand the trouble at Tarentum is
founded on the idea of keeping tho gates
open on Sundays. Such action Is against
the general idea of the church. The idea as
earned cit at Chautauqua is t lie only proper
way. The grounds should be closed at 11
o'clock aturdsy night and not opened until
Monday morning There should be religious
services for those who are inside, but to
open the gates and let in every
body, it becomes a picnic and
ceases to be worship. It encourages
the running or Sunday trains. Jn tact tho
church is simply getting up a great Sunday
attraction to lunnsli the railroads with an
excuse for running excursions. I would not,
however, say that such would be done inten
tionally bj members of the church. Another
thing practically wiong with tho practice is
the charging of an admission on Sundays.
It is hardl right to charge people for tho
right ot going to hear religious services,
l.ven to charge an admission now is not
iicccssarj and in my mind there is a doubt
us to w hethci it e er was.
"In tli's ame connection there is another
point. The church is liable to a suspicion
that it is mak'ug a sclfih use of the lnnds.
These camps ha e become summer resorts.
People go there m early spring nnd stay un
til fall. The money rcceii ed at the gates is
used in beautify ing the grounds, and it gives
outside people a chance to say that the per
sons i ho own cottages use the gnte receipts
to beautify the ground for their own per
sonal enjoyment. I do not say this is the
case, but to outside peoplo it may be so con
strued. "Tho effect of the action at Tarentum,' he
continued, "will b to keep ministers from
going thirc. Although I have not been in
vited. 1 would not go anyway, and I believe
that most of the ministers in tlm two cities
will refuse to go. To mj mind the action
there is a great m'stake."'"
CAMrMEETirjrn.S ARE OUT Or D TE.
Another minister who was not afraid to
Fpeakhis mind was llcv. Chailes Edward
Locke, of the Siuithfleld street M. E. Church.
Although Mi. Locke has the reputation of
being one of the most liberal and broad
minded ministers of the country, ns w ell as
one of the mo-t eloquent, in his judgment
the idea of openinc campmeeting grounds
on Sundays wl.s morally wrong, lie said:
It is :n opposition to the sentiment of the
church to open the gates on undaj, and It
is n question w liether eampincetings arc not
nn institution that, though they h.ive done
givat good in the p'r should "not now be
Irarird. With the gates open on Sundays the
b"nutyof therc'igioussTviceceasesand the
campmeetinz becomes a grrat festival. The
grounds that keep open on Sunday are not
doing any good, though they do draw great
crowds.
Oumproectmcs formcrlv were great relig
ious ro ivals. Sucli meetings ttcredemanded
bv the times. Chu'vhe- wore lew and iar
between. Now each man has ills church at
home, and there is no longer miy need of
such gathering, still, it is pleastnt to wor
sh.p in the open air. People w !io desire to
do so tan jusi as easily go on Saturday
night and stay until Moud-iy. Those who
cannot do that can iludany number of places
at which to worsaip at home."
Mr. Locke also expressed the beliof that
but few ministers would so to Tarcntnni.
The "iirno idea was brought out by Kev. Mr.
Iteynolds, 1 Miusficlci, and a number of
others. They all agreed that if campmcet
insswcie to be lu'Matall they should be
kept closed on the Mbliatli.
BUEGLAE WILSON OUTDONE.
Lieutenant chaflcr Thinks He Has Cap
tured a. Notorious Crook.
The of leers of the Soho police district last
night arrested Sidney Brooks, and In him
they think they i avemadea very important
capture. Iiioui.s wasarrested on complaint

HAD A GRUDGE AGAINST IT.
An Ancient Horse Car Itun Into by a Loco
motive on tho Sonthside.
Another street car accident occurred on
the Southsido yesterday morning ".between
0 and 10 o'clock. This timo it was on tho
Southsido Short Line and camo very
near resulting In the death or Charles Galley,
the driver of the car, and tho two horses at
tached to It. The necident occurred at South
Twenty-ninth nnd Sarah streets whoro tho
Monongahela Connecting Hallroad crosses
Sarah street. The causo of the collision Is
not exactly known, but in some way Gailey
failed to notice engine S3S of the P. E. K. ap
proaching the crossing and drove his horses
on the track.
The pilot of the engine struck tho car on
tho front platform, threw It to one side of
the track and pushed the horses along, tear
ing all the harness completely off one nnd
leaxing only a collar on the other. Tho
horses were thrown down on tho tracks, and
when the engine stopped they got up, ran oft
nnd wcio caught at South Twenty-second
and Sarah streets. Galley had not tho least
warning of his danger and could not Jnmp
netore tho engine struck ins car. iie was
thrown to one sido or tho track and escaped
"with a few slight bruises.
TAKING A VERY X01JG TBAHP.
Pitirul Story of a Baltimore Cigarmaker
"Who Vfent Broke.
Peter Press was tho namo givon by a tan
colored while man who called at Central
station for lodging last night. Ho was
ragged, dirty and a tough-looking specimen
of tramp seldom seen hero, no said he wns
a Baltimorean and a cigarmaker by occupa
tion. Ho had never been ten miles away
from Baltinioredn his life until about a year
airo, w hen a friend induced him to go to Cin
cinnati to work. He had hard luck thero
and got Into a chronic state of brokennoss
that he claims was new to him and caused
him to turn his face homeward.
He had not the nervo, he said, to try to
ute-il his way on freight trains and had no
monev to pay his way on a sleeper. There
fore lie wnlKed. He started three weeks ago,
and says he has been steadily on the go
over since, losing much time by his ignor
ance of tho route. He declares ho will walk
the balance of the way, as he is now rather
pleased with that style of excursion.
Ho was given a p'lank at Central station
and was snoring inside ol live minutes.
FOUND HIS SON'S BODY.
The Perseverance of Patrick Dougherty
Itewarded at Last.
Tho body of Patrick Dougherty, aged IS
years, who"wasdrowned in tho Monongahela
river Monday evening, was found in the
Ohio river, at tho foot of Porter street, Alle
gheny, yesterday nftcrnoon. Dougherty and
Patrick O'Brien had been bathing in tho
Monongahela river, Monday evening, oppo
bite their homes in Painter's row, when thoy
-were drowned. O'Brien's body was not re
covered until Wednesday.
Dougherty's rather, almost crazed with
gnef ovor the loss of his boy, had been
5atroling tho river In a skiff ever since
londay night, in scach of tho body. At 11:00
o'clock yesterday afternoon he was re
warded by finding it floating among a mass
of driftwood on the Allegheny side, about a
mile and a half below w here the drowning
occurred. Ho notified the police, and tho
bod v was taken to the nomo or the parents
by Xo. 2 patrol wagon of Allegheny. The
Coroner was notified and will hold an in
quest. to-day.
SKIPPED -WITH HIS -BIG.
lOne Man Who Found a Wny to.Get Kid or a
none and Buggy.
A well-dressed man-called at Allen & Neu-
pcrt's livery stable at McKee'sdJocks nearly
a week ago, and hired a horse and buggy,
saying he wanted to drive to the city. lie
hasn't turned up yet, and the fellow seems
to have sotton away with a tolerable sort of
a horse, set of harness and n ne w $100 buggy.
It would seem to be a somewhat nsl'y
thing to steal a livery rig, as the liverymen
have an association and a brand which is
understood nt the different stables, and a
rig would likely bo scrutinized somewhat
closely at livery stables. It is supposed the
thief in question has unloaded on some per
son who is not Initiated into the freemason
ry of the era ft.
BREAKING A BAD HABIT.
Allegheny Boys Arrested for Trying to See
a Show for Nothing.
The "Fall of Pompeii" was the means of
getting two young men into the Allegheny
lockup last night. It seems that the man
agement of the show has been greatly an
noyed by the outside crowd, that Insists on
clambering up on the lenco, etc.. In order'to
see the performance free of charge. Last
night tho crowd became particularly boister
ous, and was in the act of tearing down tho
fence, when the extra squad of polico en
gaged for the occasion made a descent on
them.
George Armstrong and Pat Sheehan, the
supposed leaders of the crowd, were ar
rested and placed in the lockup on charges
.of disorderly conduct.

tion to Cincinnati, wher she has friends.
The child wns buried by Semmelrock Broth
ers in the Bellevtio Cemetery j esterday.
Mrs. Wilson seems to be a deserving
woman, and the story of her desertion by
her husband is a sad one. She does not
care whether 6he ever sees him again. Her
maiden name was Lulu Grime, and her
father lives in Cincinnati.

TIME DOZEN DEATHS
Of Unclaimed Canines at the Kucli's
Hill Pound Last Night.
DKOWNED IN A DEEP WATER TANK.
The Affair Passes Off Without a Break and
All Are Satisfied.
INCIDENTS OP A DAY IN THE TWO CITIES
There were 33 deaths ot tho dog pound last
night. Executioner Glvens hadtnll prepara
tions complete, and tho affair passed off
without any irregularity. In fact, tho unli
censed canine without nn owner leaves the
world in a much easier manner than the
murderers of men who pass away by the
hempen or electrical route.
To bo plunged into six feet of water with
out ttmo to oven howl is to all appearances
decidedly preferable to wandering half
starved about tho streets or a great city,
kicked, cuffed and beaten nntil existence is
not worth tho effort or breathing. At any
rate the dogs who died last night seemed to
think so, lor not one or them entered an ob
jection. Up on Bitch's Hill stands a neat, new
structure 100 reet long by 20 in width. It is
here that the uncared-for curs meet their
doom. The building stands in the center of
a tract of pasture land whore worn-out horse
flesh ot the Public Safety Department is
turnod loose to recuperate.
DESCRIPTION OF TIIE POUND.
It is a plain board affair, constructed ex
pressly for the purpose to which it is do
votcd. A pair of huge doors take up one
end, and through their glazed panels admit
sufficient light for the Inmates to find their
food. But the interior is by far the most in
teresting pirt of the place. Along each sido
is a double row of cages, constructed of
stout wooden bars and each provided with a
stout iron latch.
There are accommodations fo 100 dogs,
which is considered amply sufficient, since
once a dav half of the captives go under tho
water. At the other end of the building a
pair of trap doors cover the death-dealing
machine, consisting of a tank nnd a cago.
The tank is made of thick boiler iron.
It is six feet deep and five in
diameter. Fitting down into it is a
circular cage of heavy wire with two doors
opposite each other. Above this, fastened
securely to a beam, Is the pulley through
which the rope holding tho cage is passed.
The rope goes through a "catch block" on
the floor. By this apparatus the cago is
lowered or raised in or out of the tank at
will. Tho bottom of the tank rests on the
ground, and from the outsido canbe emptied
through a pipe in a few minutes.
A smooth road winds up the hill past the
building, making It easy for tho dog pitrol
wagon "to reach the place and deposit its
load. The wholo place looks ncnt and prim,
and is especially adapted to the care and
killing of vagrant curs. In each of the cages
is a blight, new pan for water. The ani
mals are given rations of meat twice a day,
and are well cared for.
ALL READY F01J THE TINISH.
At D o'clock last night everything was
ready for the killing of 24 of the 35 dogs
captured Tuesday. In addition to these
there were 12 poor curs whose owners had
voluntarily brought them to the pound to
be killed. Poundmaster Givens had all the
cages marked with chalk, showing the day
tho occupants hnd been captured, and he
thus knew at a glance which ones wero
ready for death. About a dozen spectators
were admitted to w irness the scene. Among
them were Superintendent orrouec uamDJo
Weir, Inspector McAleese, Chief Clerk
Crosby Gray, of the Department of Public
Safoty. and Officer Glenn, who had charge
or the issuing of licenses at Central station.
The tank wns full or water and the cage
hung above it. Poundmaster Glvens at the
word opened one or the cages and with
heavlly-giovea nnnas uniggou out n meeK
looking, shaggy-haired dog, which he quickly
clapped into the cage. Then camo another,
and so on, until 23 irightened animals were
peering wistfully out betweeu tho wires.
Superintendent Weir said that was enough
ror one time, so the door wns fastened. The
cage was slowly lowered until the cold
water trickled over the trembling forms of
tho doomed dogs. Then the men let
go the rope, and as the cago sank 25
hairy backs floated up to its top. In an in
stant cage and all wore out of sight. Not
one or the animals made a cry aa they went
down. In tho glare of a pair of torches held
down close to the water a few air bubbles
w ere seen coming to the top, and then the
water was still.
inn rutsT execution ovek.
"Fivo minutes up," culled out Superin
tendent Weir, with his watch In hand, and
then the cage was drawn out. The doors
were opened and the limp carcasses were
tossed out into a wagon to be driven to the
Bakcrstown schindeiy. Then the cage was
placed in position again and tho 11 dogsie
mainlng were soon under water. Altor
four minute ImmersienJ they were
hauled up, bnt one black cur
that had snapped viciously at the pound
master on being taken from its cago was
seen to bo still breathing. So the w hole lot
w cut back two minutes more, when all were
dead. Poundmaster Glvens says hereafter
ho will keep them nil under ten minutes so
as to be certain they are all dead
The dog-killing apparatus was generally
voted a success. All those who witnessed
last night's killings agreed that Pittsburg
now has a quick and humane method of dis
posing of its surplus taninc population.
Coming down the hill, Dr. Crosbv Gray ex
plained how quickly drowning kills.
"Ever-one of those dogs," said ho, "as
soon as they struck the water would open
their months and take In a largo amount of
water. The lungs, you know, cannot act
without a certain amount af air. As soon as
the water strikes them they become con
gested and death follows speedily and al
most painlessly. In 10 cases out of 20 dogs
will die in two minutes. The animal that
lived to-night after being under four min
utes was one of the exceptions raroly met
with. The most tender-hearted person
could not but agree to the humanity of this
method."
VALUABLE DOGS NOT KILLED.
Superintendent Gamble Weir was asked
concerning the disposal of vaiuablo dogs or
good blood, whose owners do not apply for
them.
"I have given orders to the ponndmaster,"
said he, "not to kill any valuable
animals. After such ones aro kept
43 hours without the appearanco of nn owner
they will be turned over to persons willing
to piy CO cent! a day for the time they were
kept at the pound and take out a license for
them. But in all such cases tho poundmaster
will tako the namo nnd address of tho
person getting the aog. tho latter
must agree that upon the iippenmnco
of the owner nt a later date, and thepa
ment ot all expenses incurred, tho dog shall
be turned over to htm. The object of the
pound is not to destroy valuable animals,
but simply to rid the city of a hoi do of
worthless "dogs whom nobody care3 to lay
claim to."
There are 40 dos at the pound to bo
drowned to-night unlss called for. Tho
work ot issuing licenses went on merrily
yesterday. Fifty-two were taken nt Central
police station.
A valuable pug dog with a collar and
license plate was picked up by the police on
the Sonthside yesterday. Tho plate is of
Series A, No. 93G. Tho owner can secme tho
animal by applying at Central police sta
tion. Two leather collars with license
plates were also lound. The plates are No.

WYHAN GETS A BOAST.
The Allegheny Mayor's Phis Reproduced
Last Night in Colored Fire.
Tho second production of the "Last Days
of Pompeii" In Allegheny overshadowed the
first exhibition. Thero wero 7,000 peoplo in
attendance. It was evidently a night for
society people, and both Allegheny avenue
nnd tho other streets surrounding Recrea
tion Tark wore crowded with carriagos. Tho
grent feature of tho evening was the portrait
of Mayor Wymnn in colored Are. It was an
excellent likeness so excellent in Tact that
the Mayor was absorbed in deep thoughts,
but he refused to tell their nature. Chariot
races were loudlv applauded, as was tho
boxing and wrestling. The other specialties
w ere good, nnd the nudienre was so enthusi
astic that tho success or Pompeii in Pitts
burg Is established.
On Saturday evening there will ho more
new features, and a special show will also
be given on Monday night, as well as Tucs-'
dav evening. Next Thursday will bo chil

MOVING FOB IMPB0VEMENT.
Southsiders Getting Tired of Such Frequent
Accidents on Carson Street.
Owing to the heavy trafflcandreeentBtreot
car acoidents on Carson street, Southsido,
thero is somo talk of petitioning Councils to
improve Bingham street, between South
First and South Tenth streets. Carson street
Dotween these two points is very narrow,
nnd it is with difficulty that heavy wagons
can pass the cars. Bingham street Is in a
very bad condition, and no heavy hauling
can bo done on the street. Abovo South
Tenth street, since tho electric cars bean
running on Cnrson street, tho majority of
wagon traffic has been transferred to Sarah
street.
A suggestion has also been made that the
pavement along tho retaining wall at the
Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston Railroad,
from South Firth street to Brownsville ave
nue, bo torn up nnd paved Tor street pur
poses, but it is said that this cannot be done
legally.
THE DUQUESNE MAY DB0P.
That Line Is Expected to Give Three-Cent
Fares Next "Week.
A special meeting of the Executive Com
mittee or the Dnquesne Traction road has
been called for to-morrow, and it Is possible
that tho fares on that line may bo reduced
to 3 cents, although none of tlie officials will
at present positively state that such will bo
tho case.
In an interview yesterday Charles II. Mc
Kee, nttorney for tho road, said that within
the next few days tho patrons of tho Dn
quesne road would receive a surprise. He
rorused to tell just what the snrnrise would
be, but said in addition that tho facilities of
tho road would be greatly Increased and
that better time would be made. Tho Wll
klnsburg branch will also be opened within
a very few days.
WOBK OF A HEAVY ST0BM.
A Serious "Washout Delays Matters at the
Brady Street Sewer.
The most severe electrical storm of the
suihmer visited Pittsburg nt 3:30 o'clock
yestorday morning. The sharp flashes of
lightning and heavy peals of thunder dis
turbed the slumbers of nearly everybody.
Tho heaviest part of tho storm lasted about
half nn hour.
Work on the Brady street sewer at Soho
was retarded at least ten days by washing
away and covering with earth a large por
tion of the masonry.

ANOTHER" FIGHT LOST.
President Weihe Declares the Big
Strike at Steelton Illegal.
THOUSANDS OP DISGUSTED MEN.
The Next Concessions Are Expected at the
Vesuvius Mill.
MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS
President Weihe, of tho Amalgamated As
sociation, yesterday rendcreda decision that
tho big strike at Steelton was illegal, and
that the men there must go back at the com
pany's terms, if tho latter desires to tako
them. To say that the men arc disgusted is
putting it mild. They swear vengeance on
the association and nro deploring their fate.
President Bent has said lie is willing to tako
back the men only on condition that thoy
renounce tho association, nnd. knowing
these facts, they claim to bent n loss to know
how Presidont Weiho would deliberately
tell them they must return to work.
However, it turns out now that the
claim mido by Organizer Jones, to the effect
that President Weihe had authorized him
to present the scale nt Steelton, was a mis
take When he came here two weeks ago to
talk with President Weiho, he told the latter
that the men at Steelton were clamoring for
authority to demand tho Ann's signature to
the scale.
THE CHARGES THAT ARE MADE.
When he returned to Steelton, it is alleged
that he in some way gave the men n wrong
understanding of the situation, believing ho
could precipitate a strike and win, inde
pendent of the association. The error has
been discovered, but at too late an hour to
prevent tronblo between the Amalgamated
officials and the rank and file of the organi
zation at Steolton.
As tho matter stands now from 401 to MO
have lost their positions. Tho men are
especially bitter against Vice President Gal
lagher, of the Amalgamated Association,
who, they assert, encouraged them to strike
and promised them financial aid, knowing
at the time that such action was illegal, and
they openly Htate that his action was the
outcome of his Jealousy of the nationnl of
ficials located in Pittsburg. They threaten
that if Gallagher goes to Steolton agnln they
will duck him in tho canal. This bitterness
is ielt by all strikers, regardless of their af
filiation with the Amalgamated Association.
Tho laborers who struck arc fh the worst
positions. Their earnings were small, few
had any money laid by nnd their places in
the mills wore easily filled; although the
strike has lasted loss than a week, many of
them were brought to the verge of starva
tion. Yesterday four families or Hungarians who
were evicted from tho company's houses,
were removed to the Poof Farm, as thoy had
no means of subsistence. Over 900 Amal
gamated men mot with President Weihe
and Vice Piesidcnt Gallagher in Harrisburg
yesterday morning. After the strike had
been discussed at length President Weiho
declared it illegal, as it had not been au
thorized by either the National Association
or tho District Executive Board. The pro
ceedings were brought to a close by tho
selection of Truman Heckert to net as a rep
resentative of the strikers and visit Presi
dont Bent to arrange. If possible, for their
return to work.
EACH MAN MUST APrLT.
Major Bcn refused to recelvo; tho am
bassador, and each man will have to make
an individual application. As President
Weihe and Vice President Gallagher loft the
hall there were cries of "Bah, bah," and
"There go the men who get tho big salaries.
What do they care for the poor workmen at
Steelton?" After the meeting President
AVcihe explained tho position he had tnken.
He said: 'It is the custom of every steel
mm in the country to draw up their own
ISA ... .. ....I ..An V .. .l.n ........1... . . 1... t fc
must be submitted to the General Board of
the National Association for npprovnl. It
is then sent back to the District Board for
their sanction, who then order the
scale to do presented to tho proprie
tors or tho mill. Last March, while the
District Convention or the Amalgamated
Association was in session in Lebanon tho
scale which was to govern tho Pennsylvania
Steel Works was presented. The conven
tion submitted it to the National Board. It
was then rorerred to tho Executive Boai'd of
this district, which approved it, but did not
think it advisable to present it to the officials
of the Pennsylvania Steel Company at
that time. The membors of tho Steelton Asso
ciation, however, were not satisfied with tho
action of theExecntivcBoard.asthe officials
ot the steel company wero discharging a
large number of employes who were mem
bers of tho society, and took upon them
selves the responsibility of presenting tho
scale.
"By doing this tho Steelton lodges com
mitted an illegal act, as the decision of the
Executive Board is absolute, from which
there is no appeal. The men should have
continued at work as usual until the Na
tional Executive Board ordered the scale to
bo presented, and then if tho steel company
had refused to sign it a strlko would have
been ordered and the men received recog
nition from the National Association. By
taking tho affair in their own hands the
striko was illegal and tho Executive Board
could and w ould not support them."
THE COMPANY "WELL PLEASED.
The steel company officials express them
selves as pleased that tho troublo Is over,
but say that they could have operated their
mills undor any circumstances. For several
days past tho officials of the steel company
have been overrun with applications lor
work from their old employes. Thoy hnd
succeeded in starting up a number of de
partments which tho strikers claimed could
not be run unless a compromise was effected.
It has been decided not to resume operations
in No. 1 blooming and the rail mill at pres
ent, ns all theoiders for heavy rails have
been transferred to their Sparrow's Point
plant.
As a result of this, a large number of men
will be thrown out of employment for some
time. No. 2 Bessemer mill was started up
this morning, and the first heat was blown
about 10 o'clock. No. 2 blooming mill was
also put in operation with a full complement
of men. A night turn Is now being organ
ized in the frog, switch and signal depart
ment and will start work next Mondny
evening. The bricklayers are repairing No.
3 open-hearth furnace, and as soon as it is
completed operation will be resumed in tills
department also.
While the idea of a defeat grates upon tho
cars of all the officials of the association,
thero are those who are open in their stite
ments that the result is one that was ex
pected and that it was the only thing that
the men could do under the circumstances.
Vice President Sheehan said yesterday that
ho knew the strike had been unauthorized,
and he said it was entirely unjust to criti
cise a man's actions which had been based
on his opinion of tho law and the rules gov
erning tho association.
NEW SMOKE CONSUMES.
A Simple Dcvico Adopted by the Spang
Sieel and Iron Company.
A very simple device has been adopted at
tho Spang Steel and Iron plant at Etna that
consumes 99 per cent ol the smoke under the
boilers, and saves from 10 to 15 per cent in
fuel. The arrangement consists of nothing
more tlian a brick arch across the furnace,
in ftont of which soft coal is converted into
coke, while the gases from it are hold in an
adjoining section of tho furnace. The coko
Is then transferred to the section containing
tho gases. The hot air produced by the coko
and the heated gases form a complete com
bustion, producing a clear, whitp flame,
biniilar to that of natural gas.
In tho process the smoke is consumed, the
onlv time that smoku is emitted trom the
stacks being when the fireman is firing up
or cleaning his fiucs. As soon as the doors
arc closed tho smoke is stoppod. The device
is so simple that ono mason and a helpor
can build it in any ordinary furnace in a
day.
Heading Off the Agent.
Amalgamated officials have received defi
nite information to tho effect that F. G.
Neidringhaus has a man in this city looking
for men to take the places of the strikers at
his mill at St. Louis, nnd yesterday a com
munication was sent to ail tho sheet mills in
this distiict to be on tho lookout for him.
Hopeful of Winning.
Tho Bricklayers' Union met last night and
the striko was reported as still being in a
hopeful condition. There are CO men out on
stuke, who are getting their weekly bene
fits. The rest aro working.

Central Trades Council for the purpose of

Tion nau wbc ouBiiMno ..wu. mo tiirious

NEW PATTEBK LIGHTSHIPS.
Superintending Engineer Walfrld Sylven
Here Inspecting Material for Thoin.
Walfrld Sylven, superintending engineer
or the United States Lighthouse Service, was
at the Schlosser yesterday. Mr. Sylven Is
horo for tho purpose or inspecting material
for use In the construction or rour lightships
or a now pattern which are being built nt
Bay City, Mich., by Congressman Wheclor
uniler contract.
These ships, when finished, will be a new
dorarturo in the light service of the country
and In tho world. The ships now in use are
not provided with means for steaming or
lifting the henvy chain which moors them
nt their station. So. when borno down upon
by Ice or storm-beaten, they slip their cables
and drift. Steamers sent out after them tow
them back to their station.
Mr. Sylven, who has designed very many
of the ships in service, and tlieso now build
ing, says that this will be altered. The new
ship will havo duplicate boilers ofTS-horso
power each, engines for raising the cable
instead of slipping it, and propelling power
to enable them to run for shelter on their
own account when necessity arises. The
same boilers will supply power to operate
the fog horns. The engines are duplicated,
so that should one require repairs the other
could bo available.
Mr. Sylven says that Pittsburg makes ai
fine steel as any in the country. He puts itln
this way ho says ho can't find better any
whoro else. These four lightships are for
Atlantic coast service: others building at
Toledo are for lake service.
A SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT.
The Troublo at Sharpsburg "Will End To
Day or To-Morrow.
The settlement of the trouble nt the mill
of Moorhead, Brother & Co., at Shnrpsbnrg,
is the next one expected, and it will como
to-day or to-morrow. Gnyasnta and Good
Intent Lodges of the Amalgamated Associa
tion held a Joint meeting yesterday and de
cided upon n proposition that will bo made
during the conrerence to bo held either to
day or to-morrow.
The indications are that the matter willbe
settled by a reduction in the wages or all
men subordinate to the plate mill roller, and
that the scale will then be signed and the
plant put in operation.

TOO MANY QUESTIONS
Were Asked by Taxpayers at an AUe
gheny Committee Meeting.
ACCUSED THEM OP STANDING IN.
Kevertheles3 the California Avenue Grada
Mill Be Changed.
BUSINESS IN ONE BODY WAS BLOCKED
Two of the executive bodies of Allegheny
City met last night, and of course there was
a fight. In tre Surveys Committee tho
wholo drift or the discussion was toward
finding out what Coancilmen were inter
ested in subnrbnn lots which will be en
hanced in value by the proposod improve
ment on California avenue.
It was n special meeting or the Allegheny
Surveys Committee and was held to dispose
or unfinished business. The greatervart of
the tlmo was occupied in discussing
the ordinance authorizing the chango
of the grade of a portion of Cali
fornia avenue. Mr. Ittlo, the owner
of property on California avenue, between
Davis and Wyllo avenues, was present and
en motion wns heard. He objected to the
proposed change, which would be a fill of
about four feet in front of his property.
When tho nvenuo was opened ho had to
move his two houses and ho obtained
tho grade at tho City Engineer's
office. Tho grade Is as nice as it
could be, he said, and tho parties asking for
the chango don't live in that square. It was
to benefit certain parties at the expense of
others. He would consent to compromise
on raising the grade 18 or 23 Inches.
Mr. Lowe asked who would be injured
most by the change.
City Engineer Swan replied that the Ridge
view Land Company would bo hurt the
most, but they were not objecting, as it
would be a benefit.
Mr. Ittle Aro yon interested in the Ridge
view Land Company, Mr. Lqwet
Mr. Lowe No, sir.
Mr. Ittle I thought you wero from what I
heard. mi3
Mr. Lowe I said I was not and that settles
it.
Mr. Ittle I'll tako your word ror it.
Mr. Ittle continuod that if the change was
made he would go to the highest court. He
would not be set down in the mud again.
Mr. Walls, another property holder, also
enteredhls protest against the change.
Mr. Rudolph suggestod a compromise.
WEST TO COURT AND LOST.
Mr. McAfee said that he had property
there, but in the interest of good streets tho
change ought to be made. There would only
be two houses affected, and if Mr. Ittle was
damaged he ought to be paid.
Mr. Ittle said that he would go to court.
Mr. McAfee You went to court before,
nnd the city gave you more than the Jury
did.
Mr. Ittle The Jury gave me nothing, but
I've gone to another court. Tou can't get
anything over thero (pointing toward the
Court House) unless you belong to tho city
ring.
Mr. Nesblt wanted it placed on the record
that he knew nothing of thoRidgeviewLand
Company mentioned or the objectors. He
had Inspected the ground and decided to
vote for the change because it would benefit
the city.
Mr. Lowe nlso stated that he wished to
deny the insinuation made that he was In
terested in the land company or any one on
the street. He would vote for the change
because it would be a benefit.
Upon motion, the ordinance was ordered
to be printed lor the use of Councils. There
were 9 ayes to 2 nays, Messrs. Rudolph and
Buente voting no.
Tho ordinances changing the grade of
ileming avenue ana repealing the ordl
ance changing the grade of Fleming ave
nue were ordered to be printed for the use
or Councils. Tho petition ror the widening
of Woodland avenue was referred to the
sub-committee to investigato and report at
the next meeting.

The other papers referred to the sub
committee were: Ordinances vacating
