Republican Movement Very
Unexpectedly Resigns.

COLLECTOR WARMCASTLE A HArPY MAN
The mhfbitionists' Chairman Resigns and His rises
Is at Once Filled.
That was not a very large meeting of the
"straight-cut" Uepublican organization at
SO Diamond street yesterday afternoon. At
no time during the day were there over 30
"present, which was something of a falling
oil in attendance. At tha last meeting
there were as many as 37 counted in the
room at one time.
Those who did attend were treated to
quite a surprise in the resignation of Hon.
George H. Audcron as President. Very
few w ere prepared for the information. It
seemed to strike nearly every one present
as a thunderliolt. The extrication from the
unexpected predicament was about all the
business transacted.
The meeting was called for 2 o'clock, but
st that time there were not more than a
dozen persons present, and no one to call
the meeting to order. Finally, about 3
o'clock, about 20 members had assembled,
with AV. M. Gibbs and A. H. Rowand.
On motion of Mr. Rowand, Mr. Gibbs was
selected to preside over the meeting, and
the minutes of the last meeting were read.
Secretary Brush then read a letter from
Hon. George H. Anderson, who was elected
President of the Straight-out Committee at
the inaugural meeting.
RESIGNATION OP THE PRESIDENT.
Mr. Anderson's communication was listen
ed to with sreat interest. It was as fol
lows: Prrrsmnuj, July 31.
Hon. J. M. Brush, Secrota-y Rcpiibllc&n Execu
,. live Committee:
Dcxr. Sti I received notice of my election
By the Independent Republicans as Chair
man of their organization.
After duo consideration I find myself
obliged to decline the very honorable posi
tion to which you have appointed mo
While in fullest sj-mpathv with every
movement that preserves to the voters their
lights, and resenting the ubnso of political
managers in the countv I find it Impossible
to devote the time ami cnorgy for a success
ful campaign.
With best wishes for every movement to
preserve the interests of the Republican
party and insure perfect freedom of the
people in selecting thoir office bearers, and
thanking you for the intended honor, I am,
very respectfully yours,
Geohoe II. AltDEESOS.
Mr. Gibbs stated that he was nt a loss to
account for Mr. Anderson's resignation, as
he had the gentleman's positive assertion
that if chosen to the position he would ac
cept. The resignation was accepted.
Mr. Rowand If the Republican voters
are eoing to sit at home, as they have been
doim. the Republican County Committee
will nominate ali their candidates.
Mr. Rowand then nominated Mr. TV. M.
Gibbs for Chairman.
Mr. Gibbs I would be proud of such an
liouor, but the state of my health forbids
my aeccptiug it, I could, liowcver, make a
good assistant to the man elected, and I
would stale that I have a book in mvpocket
containing the organization of Allegheny
county, and the names in it are those of
good workers in sympathy with the move
ment. ROWAND WOTTLDV'T TOUCH IT.
Mr. Rowand's name was suggested, but
lie positivelydeclined, giving as nis reasons
that people micht think he was trying to
work himself into office. He was not a
candidate for any office, either elective or
appointive, and if he were made chairman
people might say it was a Rowand moc
ment After a short consultation with Mr.
ltonand and Secretary Crush, Mr. Gibbs
finally consented to accept the office and
was elected by acclamation. In accepting.
Mr. Gibbs .iid tint his heart was in the
work and l.e wanted to sec the ring
''licked" and the voters ot Allegheny
connsy get their rights. The fight was not
against the men named for judges, as he
"o'jld iJiy nothing personally against them.
It was the methods by which they were put
up. Mr. Gibbs suggested that the cam
paign be a still hunt.
One of the members present said that the
townships and boroughs were all right
and had always been against the ring. The
place where the work would have to be
uci,c would be in the cities.
This was accepted as being about right
and the committee adjourned to meet at the
call of the chair.
SUSPECT A TRICK.
Itrpuhlicacs Itcfuse to Attend a Slotting
of the State Treasury Committee Dem
ocrats Said to lie After Campaign 31a
terial A Clever Scheme.
Representative Samuel Stewart.of Verona,
went to Ilarrisbnrg last evening to attend a
special meeting of the committee appointed
to Investigate the affairs of tho State Treas
ury for the last ten years. Tho Com
mission was expected to report a
bill correcting abuses in this de
partment during tho session, but
they railed. Then by resolution thev were
instructed to continue the wort after the
Lecislaturo closed. State Senator George
Handy Smith is the Chairman, and is now in
Europe. The call for the meeting was signed
by Messrs. Fow, Skinner and Monoghan, tho
Democrats on the committee. The Repub
licans .claim that it is a put up Job on
the part of the Democrats to get campaign
material for tho fall election, as the ex
amination w ill bo aimed at Auditor General
MrCamantand the part he played in tlie
llardsley business.
Mr. istowart was not inclined to talk, and
ho claimed ho didn't know what was the
object of the meeting. It was learned
that he would not attend unless
the Democrats hud a majority and could go
ahead without the Republicans. Senator
Flmu and Representative Fruit, of Sharon,
refused to go to ilarrlsburg. They insist
that the Councilmanic committee of Phila
delphia is doing its work wed In Investi
gating tho Bardslcy int estlgation, and It is
useless to go over straw that has boen
threshed.
The Democratic schemo Is said to bo
very clcier They want to get at
Auditor General McCamant's books, which
tho Philadelphia committee can't reach. It
is the intention to call up all the Stato
treasurers for the last 12 j-ears, including
Qua, and haul them oier the coals. The
hope Is csprc"cd that something will bo de
veloped that will knock Republican chances
bkyward this lall. The Republicans think
that by remaining aw ay thev can thwart tho
plan. The also claim that the call for the
meeting is irregular, aud they reluso to be
drawu into a trap at pieseut.
EOWLEY EATHEE EILED.
The General's Son Indignantly Denies That
He Is a Ilepubltcan.
R.C Rowley, of the city fire department,
is considerably disturbed because his father.
General Thomas Rowley, has been accused
ofadtocnting Republican ideas. Tho Gen
eral has been xnircprcsentcd, and all tho
Democrats in the fire department are mad.
The junior ia emphatic when he talks about
tho matter.
"Tho General Is fas good a Democrat as
there is in town," said a man who is a well
known member of tho Randall Club, "nnd
this accusation is mean. I have known Gen
eral Rowley for several years, pcrsonaUy
and intimately, and this cbnrge Is a slan
der." "Certainly not a dishonorable one," was
suggested.
,vSo; not dishonorable, hut mean. You
could not hire General Itowloj-. He is above
that. But If be wants to be a Republican ho
will snv so, and In a way that will not bo
misunderstood."
"Is It trne that he has been in sympathy
wttn tariff Democrats w ho are alleged to bo
raising money for McKinley?"
"How ley is a Democrat. This is an out
rape," an'd the young man pounded his fist
about a telephone Dole in a very emphatic
manner."
WARMCASTLE GLEEFUL.
Ho Thinks Dalzell Has Received a Black
Eye Some Talk of Contesting the Amer
icus Election What tho Other Slilo Has
to Say.
Collector Warmcastlo calledat tho MonOn
gahela House yesterday afternoon to
see McKinley. Tho Collector was feel
ing good over the result of tho fight
in the Amcrlcus Club. "I made no
effort to get votes against Dalzell's
delegates," he said. "They are good friends
of mlno, and such a victory wouldn't lmvo
paid in the end. It was not my object to
defeat Dalzell, but to pass the resolution
nnd I nm satisfied. It is generally under
stood that tho Amcrlcus Club indorsed Dal
zell's caudldacv. Well, there were about 30
members present at tho meeting, and tho
resolution was not allowed to remain over
foraweck. This was snap Judgment and
wasn't lair. If the week's time had been
allowed the result might havo been differ
ent. "Dalzell's majority was 10. When tho
tellers returned to "the meeting with the
vote, they said they had ruled out three
Robinson ballots because two tickets had
been rolled together. Suppose now that the
election should be contested with Itobinson
people in chargo of the convention, what
w ould be the result? I an: not saying there
will be a contest, It Is a mere supposition.
Whatever other people may say, I want to
soe a fair and clean fight."
II. D. W. English claims Dalzell had been
indorsed at two meetings of the club. Ho
says It shows how much influence the op
position had in Pittburg when they could
only drum up CI votes in si week, and 21 of
these were from Bcaer countv.
W. W. Colville, a defeated delegate, said
ho was satisfied, and did not w ant a recount.
Collector Warmcastle thinks Dalzell has re
ceived a bad bad black cje.
II. S. Paul, one of the Dalzell delegates,
got home from Virginia Beach yesterday.
He didn't know am thing about tho fight
made on the local Congressman in the
Amcrlcus Club until he reached iVasliino
ton. He thought it was a sly piece of busi
ness, but tho result shows that Dalzell is
stronger than his opponents imagined. He
said that Mr. Gibbs had assured him two
weeks ago that he would not work against
Dal7cll, and he went away feeling that tho
situation was safe. lie added that he was
surprised to find that gentleman among the
leaders of the opposition.
CAN'T MAKE AN IMPEESSION.
Captain Sweenej Says Louisiana Is Hope
lessly Democratic
Captain Jiraes Sweeney, the Now Orleans
cnal man, is at tho Central hotel. Ho says
the price of coal in his city has dropped
from 50 to n5 cents. This is due to the warm
weathei,aud the large supplies that have
been shipped there in the hist three jnonths
from Pittsburg. He says business is good
and the cotton crop is great.
Sneakinsi noliticallv lie said: "Yes. Blaine
is popular in Louisiana since the Italian
trouble. I like Blaine very well myself, but
there is no danger of Louisiana going Repub
lican if he were nominated. The State is
hopelessly Democratic, and you can bet on
that every time."
A KEW COUNTY CHAIRMAN.
L.T. Yodcr Succeeded by A. T. Colo as
Leader of the Prohibitionists.
A meeting of the Prohibition Committee
on Arrangements for the trip to Harrisburg
was held yesterday afternoon. It was de
cided that D. II. Martin go to Harrisburg
and make arrangements for the entertain
ment of the delegation.
It was also decided to arrango a number
of meetings throughout the county, to be
addressed by ex-Govornor St. John. A. T.
Cole, of Allegheny, was chosen Chairman of
the County Committee, to succeed L. T.
Ycder, who resigned on account of business.
ADVENTURES OF A TITTLE BOY.
Tlmrnie Carter Takes a Hide to Greens
bnrg Instead or AVilkinsburg.
Thero is one boy In Wllkinsbiirg who
feels that he is a greater traveler than Cap
tain Cook or Nellie Bly. Ho has not been so
far as either of those noted globe trotters,
but he has been the subject of adventures
that to him are as startling ns anything in
a book of travels. His name is Jlmmic
Carter, and he is 12 years old. On Sunday
evening he was sent into the city with a
message. He is a bright little fellow, and
when he was told to make tho last train on
the Pennsylvania Railroad for homo he
nodded and ran down to tho station as blithe
as any boy of his years aud temperament
could be. His business in the city accom
plished, he reached the Union depot in am
ple time for the 10-5J, tho last, train. Once in
the car, he settled himself to enjoy his 20
minutes' ride in comfort. He was altogether
too comfortable, as it proved. He had not
been five minutes In the car, and the train
had not started, when Jimmio was fast
asleep. Away went the train, and after a
while Jimmio awoke with a start, with a
blaze or light in his eyes. The blaze of light
tunc from something outside the car, and
Jimmie tremblingly asked tho conductor,
"What place is this?"
"Bessemer," answered the conductor.
"But I live at Wilkinsburg," faltered the
lad.
Here was a pretty state of things. The
conductor is a kind-hearted follow, and he
entered into Jimmie's feelings nt once. lie
told him he would have to go on to Grecns
burg, but that ho would make Jimmie a bed
In the car, and adjured him not to leave it
till ho got to Wilkinsburg the next morning.
In tho meantime ho telegraphed to tho
Wilkinsburg station that Jimmie Carter was
sato in Greensburg, so that his relatives
might have their minds set at ease. In the
meantime Jimmie lay on his impinvised bed
on tho seats of the car and wtsfl(ijl or morn
ing. He did not see any ghosts or robbers or
wild beasts during tho night, but he was in
momentary dread of them. When he got
safely home jesterday morning about 8
o'clock ho declared he would never go to
sleep in a tram again, unless he had someone
w ith him to wake him at the proper time.

HEW MDUSTRY HERE.
The La Belle Steel Company Will Re
move Its Cutlery Plant
FROM BRIDGEPORT TO ALLEGHENY.
Three Branches of the Glass Trade in
the Balance.
MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS
Anew industry is to be established in Al
legheny. Smith Bios. & Co., owners of tho
La Bello Steel Works, have for a number of
years past been engaged In tho manufacture
of cutlery at Bridgeport, Conn. It has been
a great disadvantage to tho firm to trans
port the product ot the works in Allegheny
to those in Bridgeport, where it was made
up into cutlery, and they piopose to bring
tho cutlery plant to Allegheny, and estab
lish tho industry in connection with tho
steel works on Rebecca street.
A charter of incorporation was secured
yesterday for the cutlery company, and,
while it will be chartered as a separate insti
tution, the stockholder will be limited to
the proprietors of the La Belle Steel Works,
the sauio as formerly. Heretofore the Bos
ton agent of tho firm has had chargo of tho
plant, and the firm has been almost entirely
unable to supervise tho work.
AN IMMEDIATE REMOVAL.
It Is proposed to remove tho plant at once.
Additional ground has been put chased on
Rebecca street. A separate factory of good
sized dimensions will bo erected on it, and
operations will be commenced as soon as
possible. It Is not thought tho Bridgeport
employes will bo brought hero. Only a tew
of the foremen and superintendents of de
partments w ill be broucht to tako chaigo of
tho work, and tho remainder of the force
necessary to operato the plant will bo so
cured from the vicinity.
Tho cutlery plant at Bridgeport is said to
bo one of the most extensive works of tho
kind in America. Tho Lallcllo Steel Works
lias an annual capacity of Irom 18,000 to 20,
000 tons of steel, and the greater portion of
tho finest quality or this output was con
sumed at the cutlery works in Bridgeport.
The cost of transposition amounted to
quito an item, aud ono of the objects of re
moving to Allegheny was to save this enor
mous expense. The greater portion of the
finer machinery will bo brought West, but
nothing that can bo duplicated with easo
hero w ill be transported that distance.
A GAIN FOR ALLEGHENY.
Tho removal of the plant will bo quite a
loss to the New England town of Bridge
port, but it will also be a gain for Allegheny,
as it will give employment to a large num
ber of men. It will do mora It will extend
the manufacturing industry of this vicinity,
nnd while the New England people may
complain because they cannot obtain coal
and iron as cheap ns these are purcbascable
elsewhere, the local people can congratulate
thoinsclves upon tno valuable oxtcnslon
mndo in the manufacturing industry heie.
A call was made last niznt at the residence
of Thomas McBnde, Superintendent of the
LaBclle Works at his home In Alleghony.
Mr. McBride corroborated the above ac
count of the pioposed removal and said ho
thought the now plant would be in operation
before w inter.
A NON-UNION START.
The 'Wheels of the Vesuvius Iron Works
Moved Yesterday.
A feeble effort was made to start the
Vesuvius Iron Works at Sharpsburg yester
day by non-union men. The fight against
the Amalgamated Association is now on in
earnest, and the developments of the next
two or three days will be watched with in
terest, as it is intimated that thero are to be
some unexpected surprises.
Yesterday morning the mail train leaving
Allegheny at 6-45 contained about 20 men.
The train was stopped at Jloorhead Bro. &
Co.'s mill in Sharpsburg, and before tho
strikers, who were out early to keep an eye
on things, knew what was going on, the non
union men were in tho mill. Immediately
upon their admission to the mill, prepara
tions w ere made to begin operations. Ihpre
aie two furnaces in the mill and two heats
were made on each during the day. The
crow began to draw at 8 o'clock and the first
heat was finished at 11 o'clock. During the
ilnv 2-1 nlnfrs w m-n i nllivl-
Presidcnt Riddle said last night that there
wero only 13 men at work altogether and
another striker -said that the old crew would
have gotten three heats out while ono was
made jesterday, and that out of the 24 plates
made there wero not moie than 5 good ones.
The strikers havo not given un hope of
winning the strike, while tho firm" feels very
jubilant over tho stait made jesterday and
the greatest confidence is entertained in
their abilitj- to defeat the association.
The men w ho filled the important positions
were: Mr. McElroy, roller; Mi-. Hayes, shear
man; Thomas Ree'd, lriction pullejr operator.
PEOSPECTS OF A STBIXE.
The Birmingham Electric Cars May Bo
Tied Up for a Few Days.
The cmploj es of tno Birmingham Traction
road declare that If their demand for a rea
sonable amount of time for meals is not
granted, a strike w ill be declared, and the
Southside will be freo Irom accidents from
the electric cars at least, for they will tie up
tho road. They are tired trying to cat their
meals in seven or eight minutes, and yester
day when a committee notified Manager
Verner, that gentleman is alleged to have re
mained awaj- from his office to avoid meet
in" them.
The officials of tho company will havo
nothing to saj- about tho matter, but the
men claim a man named Elliot is responsi
ble lor the present state of afialis.
HUSTLING THE CONTRACTORS.
Postofflce Officials Getting Anxions About
the New Building.
Tho postofflce officials aro complaining
about the delay on tho Government tmilding,
and tho contractors expect a shaking up.
Samuel Young, who is putting in the marble
work, went to the postofiico yosterdaj to ex
plain whj- ho is behind. He said the other
contractois delaved him, but he got cold
comfort from W. W. Colville, who has chargo
of the building under authoiity from Post
master JVIclvean.
Mr. Colville told Mr. Young he wns much
to blame, and he wanted to know whj- extra
gangs of men wero not put to work.
HO LAB0E DAY THIS YEAR.
Tho Organizations AVero Too Much
De-
moralized for Celebration.
There will bo no Labor Day demonstration
in Pittsburg this fall. Tho organizations
wore too much demoralized by the recent
trade difficulties to engago in a celebration
involving the expenditure of such a largo
nmount of money us would be nccessarj to
make a creditable demonstration.
It may be possible that the Central Trades
Council will suggest something in the near
future to take the place of a Labor Day
demonstration, and which will be less ex
pensive. Not Much Profit in Glass.
George H.Jaqucs, editor of the Crockery
and Glass Journal, is at the Monongahela
House. He saj s tho tableware trade Is fair,
and the agents at the hotel have done a
better business this season than they did
last j car. He remarked that tho glass in
dustry' In general hns not been tne most
profitable for the last live years.

A Brewery for McKeesport.
Mr. W. R. Riddlo went to McKeesport in
the interest of tho formation of a brewing
companj-, to bo known as the McKeesport
Brewing Company. This 'gentleman has so
cured nn option on some land in Lincoln
township, opposite Thiiteenth avenue, for
the proposed building, nnd is soliciting
stock forv a $50,000 capital to start with.
Since the consumption of beer there is about

FIXING UP THE SCALES.
Three Branches of the Glass Industry Un
settledWindow Conferences Are De-
dared Off Flint Scales Are ' Easily
Settled Glass Notes, 4
Louis Arrlngton, President of the Green
Bottle Blowers' Union of North America, and
tho other members of his Executive Com
mittee, aie quartored at the Central Hotel.
They are hero for the purpose of arranging
next years' scale. This work will consume
a dav ortwo vet, nfter which the Executive
Board will hold a business meeting.
Members of tho Board endeavored to avoid
meeting the reporters last night, and re
peated calls at the hotel failed to find any of
tho gentlemen, except Mr. Arrb'gton and ho
would not say anything for publication.
There were no important developments in
the window glass difficulty yesterday. Secre
tary Cake, ot L. A. H03, said the men had
made their demands and they proposed to
stick to them. "We havo asked for nothing
more than wo havo every right nnd reason
to evpect," said he, nppljing his character
istic emphasis. Mr. Cako said he did not
caie to talk much, as Mr. Loetner had been
authorized to state tho condition of affairs
for both sides. At the office of the latter it
wns given out that there would be no more
conferences, which meant, of course, that
tho friendly relations, so far as this year's
scale is concerned, between manufacturer
and worker, havo beon practically bioken
off.
The conference on the flint scales was
continued yesterday. Tho discussion on
tho pressed ware, iron mold and mold mak
ing scales was postponed until to-morrow
and tho chimney scale will bo taken up to-
uav.
Tho fact that King's Son & Co.'s mold de
partment was closed down Saturday was
taken as an indication that the munuiactur
ers would fight the moldmakers' scale, but
Secretary Dillon said yesterday that he ex
pected no trouble. Evcrj thing has passed
off smoothly so far, and he expects no
trouble whatever.
Tho repoit that the Peerless Glass Com
pany had shut down permanently is denied
by the superintendent, who says: "It is true
wo do not expect- to resume August 13, tho
time fixed forvthe noxt fire, but the reason
Is that we must make arrangements for a
better supply of fuel. Tho supply of gas is
not sufficient."
Industrial Notes.
PnnrAiivnoNS are being made at Ford City
for tho glass plant to return to the use of
coal as fuel.
Nearly 200 glassworkers left tho South
side yesterday forEUwood, Ind., where they

now plant.
Rodebt Teary has resigned his position
as local agent for tho plasterers, because tho
latter could see no occasion for an agent
since their strike resulted so disastrously.
THE BIDS WEEE TOO HIGH.
It Will Cost More to Remodel City Hall

HUNTING UP KINNEY.
Superintendent Crawford, ot the Insurance
Company, Is Looking for Him.
H. M. Crawford, tho District Superin
tendent of the Eqnitablo Insuranco Companj-
in this city, has been in Butler bince
Saturday looking af terKinnej', the man who
tried to swindle John A. Wood & Son. As
soon as Klnnoj' ascertained that his dealings
w ith the firm had become public he left New
Castle for the North, probably Canada. Mr.
Crawford desired to make an Information

THEEE BAD CHINAMEN,
Lanndryman John Leo Calls Attention to
rellqw-Conntrymen of 111 Repute.
John Lee is an enlightened Chinaman of
Grant streot who belio es that tho "Molican
man's" newspaper Is a power for good. Ho
called at Tue Dispatch office last evening,
nnd feaid ho desired to warn his countrjmeii
against thoso Celestials whoso recoidho said
w as i ery bad. They w ore bad primarily,
because they had cut off their pigtails and
become Christianized, nnd also because they
sought to injure tho law-abiding Chinese of
Pittsburg.
These man, whom John Lee calls Lee,
Teng and Leng, cameherc about two mouths
ago irom New York, and instead of earning
a living for themselves, sought to live on
the earnings ot their counirj-men. Their
methods are to threaten information to tho
police ot supposed wrongdoing by thoir
couutrj-meu it their demands for blackmail
are not satisfied. John Leo sajs thej-got
into trouble in Now York, and when they
came hero their record lollowed them, so
that Pittsburg Celestials won't touch them.

AROUND FOUR RINGS.
Thirty-Two Thousand People Take in
the Wonders of Barnum's Circus.
A LITTLE POKER GAME SPOILED.
The Iron Exchange Building Narrowly
Escapes a Scorching.
SNAP SHOTS AT SEVERAL CITI SCENES
Barnum's show broke with the dawn over
the two cities j-csterdaj-. Those who slept
late on tho route of the great parado weie
wakened by the noiso of many bands. Major
McKinley seeing from tho window of a
Cleveland and Pittsbnrg car Federal street
choked with people, horsemen and golden
chariots, marveled excecdlnglj-. That was
at 10, o'clock in tho morning. The parado
was on tho hist lap then, nnd the
crowds that lined tho curb and admired
the cavalcade in Allegheny wore nothing to
the dense mob that turned out to enjoy tho
free show in Pittsburg. Barnum and Bailey's
circus is a hardy annual, but it is blooming
with greater vigor and variety than over.
This may Iravo surprised some people, be
canso P. T. Barnum, the patriarchal manager
of the circus, is no longer with it except
upon tho bills. But tho fact is that the ac
tive head of tho show-, J. A. Bailey, is still
iuconttol, and the circus is all that it has
been and something better. Thociicushas
becomo such a solid institution that timo
cannot undermino it, and it is bound to run
47 years longer, no matter who or how many
of its proprietors die.
SCENES ABOUT THE TEXTS.
The circus pitched its tent, a monstrous
canvas temple 750 feet long, in Exposition
Park, and the sideshows wero clustered
about it. Thither in the afternoon men,
women and children, and especially the two
latter, proceeded till apparently every seat
was taken, and nccording to tho manage
ment's figures 15,000 people were present.
The weather wns threatening, too, but tho
rain that fell wns trifling. It was satis-faetorj-
to know that tho canvas roof of tho
gicut tent was waterproof, but tho audience
was not sorrj- to accept tho assuranco with
out direct evidence.
Major McKinlej- and his wife and Mr. and
Mrs. Porter occupied seats in tho press box
in the afternoon. They enjoyed tho per
formance greatly, although Mrs. McKinley,
who has barely recovered from a serious
illness, wns nearly overcomo at one time by
the heat. When tho camels came out for the
nice a newspaperman touched Major McKinlej-on
the shoulder and bade him note
that his rival (Campbell) was humping him
self in great shape. "Yes, I see," said Mr.
McKinlej-, "and he's making good time, too."
Tho Ohio statesman took and gavo in a
bantering spirit very goodnaturcdly. no
said he enjoyed looking at the immense
throng of pcoplo as much as the show; a
more orderly crowd of its size he had never
seen. Not a few of the people sitting near
Major McKinley recognized him, and he
came near l i allng the lions and tigers as a
sight to be stared at.
The sights proper were very well arranged.
Y'ou could see all the wild animals com
fortably before entering tho circus tent.
Thej-woro not huddled together as they
hae sometimes been; and there was not tho
least occasion for anyone to confuse tho
the roof garden about its neckfor the identi
fication of the giraffe.
EVERYTHING IX GOOD ORDER.
Evcrj-thing was in order, tho animals in
cluded. Thej- looked ns clean and comfort
able nnd happj- as caged creatures can; and
tho tigers and lions especially did not seem
to be heart-broken because they could Jnot
mingle with tho crowd of spectators, as
those lordly mlers of thojnngle usuallj' do.
ir there were nothing In tho zoological ex
hibition but tho cage of lions it would be
worth going to see. There nro three full
grown male lions; one has already been im
mortalized bj- n great painter, Gerome, it is
said, and all of them nio pictures of majesty
nnd strength. The curious crentuios beside
are too numerous to catalogue, but from the
great white polar bear to the ruddj- rhino
ceros they are all very fine specimens.
At night the promised rain having failed
to fall the streets lending to the cirens wore
once more filled, and before 8 o'clock no less
tban 17,000 people wero seated or at nlf
ovents lodged in somo shape or fashion
under the great tent. One could see that
the auditorium was filled from the outside,
for in tho space between the eaves of tho
roof nnd the tent walls the heads of the
peoplo in the top row of benches were
so closely ranged together that thoy
looked liko tho knobs on an
lion railing. They hnd their fill
of amusement. Two rings and two stages
dl erted tho eye and inind of the beholder in
a double sense. It j-oit looked at one it was
only to learn tho next minute how much
jou had missed at another. Still in a tent an
eighth of a milo in length with less than
four rings somebody would seo nothing.
OXE THING ALL COULD SEE.
The triumphal maich of horsemen, fair
equestrians, elephants, camels and so on,
w ith which tho show- began, all could see, nt
least. Then as tho fantushc scenes in a dream
tho long programmo of wonders unfolded
itself. An Abyssinian donkey with a
dog-faced monkey upon his back ambled
about one of the rings; while four beautiful
black horses and two equally talented,
spotted Arabian steeds kept tho o'thernrenas
auve. ADout every live minutes tne sceno
was shitted in all tho rings simultaneously,
and it is out of the question to enumerate
all tho acts. Ono of the bost features was
the bareback and trick riding of tho Meers
bisters. Thoso three graceful girls of En
glish birth danced and leaped upon their
horses as if tho letter's backs had
been a level stage. Thch father
a veteran circusman, with a hat of tho
vintage of "37 or thereabouts, acted as ring
master. Miss Rose Meers, in particular,
displayed great skill and daring as well as
giace in her headlong leaps upon a horse at
lull speed. Besides tho monkov- and donkey
already mentioned, William Conrad ex
hibited the trained baby elephant about
tw o tons In weight that Jumbo onco saved,
and a tronpo or performing dogs. Thero
were trained slice), goats and other animals
as well. Tho" wonders in the tumbling and
acrobatic line were very numer us, and it
would not bo fair to omit mention of tho
great rider, C. W. Fish.
THE CLOSING SPECTACLE.
When tho races between horses and dogs
and camels and men, most realistically run,
wero ended, "Nero and tho destruction of
Romo" closed in upon the view. This re
markable spectacle work3 a great deal
smoother than it did last j-car. The ballet is
undoubtedly unique in these parts, both in
size, exquisite dressing and skill ns dancers.
Over 10J young women, everj' one of whom
can dance, is hi this ballot, and tho pictur
esque tableaux tliat tlicj- form, and the real
poetrj- of motion which they attain are more
notable this year than they wero last.

D0CTOES AND BIBTH REPORTS.
Failure to Notify the Burean Duo to Many
Difficulties In the Way.
Dr. E. A. Mundorf, of the Southside, one of
the physicians against whom suit was en
tered by the Bureau of Health for failure to
report all tho births at which thoy officiated,
said yestcrdaj- that tho authorities wero
merely doing their duty as directed by law.
Physicians generally endeavored to mako as
full reports as possible, but ho admitted
thoy sometimes were a little remiss in tho
matter, allowing more than three months to
elapse before sending in reports. This was
not becauso they failed to appreciate tho
great importance of a full and complete
birth record, but because of difficulties
which sometimes arose. For Instance, It is
necessarj' to report more than tho mere fact
of the birth. The nnrao of the child mnst bo
given ns well as the parents' names.
Frequently weeks and even months elapse
before a namo is bestowed upon tho child,
nnd in the interim tho family may move
away or in somo waj- bo overlooked or lost
sight of.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
Firo In tho Exchange Building Discovered
in Time to Be Fat Oat.
The Iron Exchange building on the corner
of Wood and Water streets, narrowly es
caped destruction by fire last night. A gas
chnndnlicrln the branch office of Anderson,
Du Puj- & Co., on tho second floor was de
tached in some manner, and tho escaping
gas becoming ignited, set fire to the interior
of tho office. Tho frame partition and
counter soon caught and wore burning
brlsklj- when the fire was discovered from
the street, and an alarm was turned in from
box eight. Acting Chief Coatcs was quick
to reach the fire, and a couple of well
directed streams soon extinguished tho
blaze. Had it not been confined to the suite
of offices of Anderson. Du Puj- & Co., the fire
would have been hard to subdue.
Chief Coates, after extinguishing tho
flames, put tho firemen to work to sweeping
out tho water, thereby preventing consid
erable loss by water. The total damage
done will not exceed $300.
PLAYED A LOSING HAND.

Hartzell resides at Homestead, but he camo
to Pittsburg to spend Sabbath, delaying his
departure over yesterday. Falling into tho
company of four colored men, he congrat
ulated Robinson on tho fact that tho five
composed a bob-tail flush, and the Joko was
sq good that Mr. Robinson steered the party
to his poker rooms.at an unnumbered house
on Slate alley. Then Edward dealt unto
Adam a hand that was cruel, nnd tho Home
stead man says he lost $80. The money was
found, but Mr. Robinson will contest tho

without bis wife's consent. Sho claimed no
money had been paid, but her husband de
clared be had recoived the rent regularly.
Mr. Farrell explained that he had not any
authority to collect tho money, but ho had a
habit of taking everything in sight because
his wife was alw ays drunk. At this Mrs.
Farrell flourished her umbrella and threat
ened to clear out everybody In sight. Her
attorney tried to quiet her, and she turned
on him. In the excitement the alderman
gave her possession and dismissed the case.

PETER PAYING PAUL.
Why George Biginwald Robbed His
Grandfather a Second Time.
TO PAY UP A FORMER THEFT.
The Money Is Fonnd Hidden Away in the
Ilouse of His Friend.
HE VERY DUMBLY CONFESSES HIS GUILT
A remarkable case of robbing Peter to pay
Paul was developed in Allegheny last night
by the detectives. Last Easter a boy robbed
his grandfather of $100. The grandfather
had him arrested, and after lying in
Jail for n while tho lad con
cluded ho would mako good his
thefts. On the strength of this he was re
leased nnd all criminal prosecntions ceased.
The boy found that earning the price of a
ccnturj- wrapper" was a blggor Job than ho
hart anticipated. Tho end of Julj- found
him without a sou. Believing that the
snake that bit him must effect a cure also,
ho decided to touch his grandparents'
savings and pay back all that ho
owed. It was Sunday morning. There was
a little more in the pot than ho needed, but
thinking a fow extra dollars would not como
amiss, he Just took away $123 as an evidence
of good faith.
A WALLET WELL TRIMMED..
When the youth's operations were ended
the grandfather'3 wallet, like tho lamps of
the good virgins, was well trimmed. Tho
grandfather, whose name by the way is
Georgo Miller, had been at church with his
son Barncj-. When he returned to his home
on tho Porrysville road he at once told his
loss to Assistant Superintendent of Police
Glenn. That official remembering of the
Easter robbery at once suspected the grand
son. George Biginwald, of Trov Hill.
Detectives Steel and Johnston were sent
to arrest the suspected boy at bis home. He
was brougnt to tneMayor s office and at first
denied all knowledge of the theft, but npon
being closely questioned, stated that if John
a.cnz. aiso oi rroy ma, was Drougnt in, no
would tell where tho money was. Officer
McDonongh brought Lcnz to the
lockup and Lenz stated where tho money
could bo found. In accordance, an officer
was sent id the house of John Martin, Troy
HI1L In tho collar of this house a search
was made, and boneath the ground $81 was
found; $10 in one corner, $26 in another and
$15 m another.
SOME STOLEN MONEY FOUND.
The houso of Lenz wa3 then searched
and $20 was found there, it being hidden
under tho carpet of a front room. Mr. Mar
tin stated that the monoy had been brought
In, and.thnt Biginwald had told him that ho
had borrowed it and wished to leave it for a
short time. The police have not yet found
tho other $22.
Detective Glenn, in speaking of the case
last night, gavo a history of the first rob
bery and said he had reason to believe that
the money taken on Sunday was simply ap
propriated In order to square up accounts
in the first robbery. He would not say that
such had been a part of Biginwald's confes
sion, bnthe had gleaned it from his personal
Investigation.
NO REPORTS RECEIVED.
It Is Doubted That a Woman Committed
Suicide in Dixon's Hollow.
Justice of tho Peace McMillen was directed
by the Coroner last evening to investigate
the suicide of Hugh Mlnty, who killed him
self nt Tom's Run, near Mansfield, yesterday
morning, but at a late hour last night there
wns no report from that case.
No further report has been received from
the alleged suicide of a woman at Dixon's
Hollow, near Brnddock, and tho Coroner
thinks the report is a fake.
One of the John Smiths in Trouble.
John Smith was arrested by officer Wright,
of tho Southside, last night, and locked np
as a suspicious character. The prisoner had
gained an entrance to the houso of Daniel
Lasko, 61 South Sixteenth street, but was
frightened awaj- by 3Ir. Lasko, and in en
deavoring to escape, was overtaken and
