Mr. D. IS. Oliver Explains His Ststcnent Abont Moor
Jicad En A- Col's Scale.
Seldom in tho history of organized labor in
.Allegheny county has there hcen as much
excitement in any one trade as there was
nuiong tne green bottle blowers Inst night.
President Arrington and his comnntfo
linled to sec :re an amicable settlement of
their scale with tho manufacturers, and
when the time comes for starting up the
lactones they won't start. This was one
reason for so much bustle list night.
Another cause and the greatest, was a
difficulty now casting oer the Board of
Trustees of the organization. It is an in
ternal fight that 1ms grown so intense that a
genuine row is expected before tho matter is
settled. A local member named Miller is tho
one aggnc ed. Ho wn-loi.tcl trustee fHo
years ago and ha-served cer since. Dur
ing that time theie. haic been differences
between himself and rrs!dent Arrington
and it is claimed bv Miller's friends tint
lie lias I cen greatly wronged. Tho
two ccntlemcn met at the Central Hotel last
night and fc.ul i con ersation about tho
matter thiit lasted ueaily an hour, but when
it was conclude I licit tier would say any thine
about the difficulty. A member of Union
Xo Gill said-
a lively time rnoMisr.n.
"There will bo a lncly meeting Friday
night. This matter is to bo considered, and
can tc'1 acu that there will be some tun.
It is said tho feeling among tho friends of
Jdilier :s vory inter e "
Thero was another peculiar Incident that
created a very great deil of talk. Ever since
Mr Arlington came to tho city last Sunday,
n rumor has been current that a conference
nas to bs held with the Flint offlcials for the
p-irpcecf forming a closer union between
the two organisations. Yesterday wis set
for t'.e conference by some one, but very
c idently by those who did not Know much
about tho busircss. Mi Arrington could
not be charged with giving ont the report.
for his ennduct with the reporters since he
has been here has been anything but liberal.
At all event tho confeicnco did not take
place, nnd it is hardl-v probable that a meet
ing will b' ho'd tills week, although two
membr'-s of the executito board are to
remain hc-o for a few day to bring about
this union if po-siblc while Mr. Arrington
leaves at 8 o'clock this morning for Massil
lon, O.
yo-uMO mi nicivr: bottles.
The members of the organization aie also
grcatlv excited over the report received
estciuay to the etTect that Mr.
arnei tho patent medicine man, has
jn-t let tho contract lor all the bottle-, he will
need fo-the necr year to Joan P. Whitney,
f-ccrctaij ot the Giass Manufacturer-," Asso-
lation ot Glassboro. X. .1., who is at present
operai inc. i non union iactory. Unless this
Hcti-ni can be re-clidc 1 the lien claim they
will lrwe a b'g point. As soon as the woid
was rr-u ed a committee was started to
Rochester to see Mr. Warner, with a i lew to
having him withdraw his o.-dcr from
"Whit nei.
so much evcitement prevailed over these
things that the men alnio-t forgot the
scsje forthencst ..ear. The new price list
not been issued vet, but an advance copv of

night 'iho adances nsl.ed in the list are
connned to about three branches of the
trade minerals, IlisKs and wines andean

be remembered that lnt year there was a
reduction. The prices arranged this year
are merely a restoration of tho prices in tho

La-t ve.ir K-oum e minerals w ere reduced
from $1 31 to 1 i. 13-ounce. $139 to $134; 10

oi within I cent per gross of the price of tw o
J ears ago. The advanco on Ilasks has only
been on half pint and under, and in no case
decs it exceed 5 per cent. The price on
twisted wrie bottles has been slightly ad
vancid, while fruit jars remain about the
same.
ritnscKirTiox blotters to unite.
The prescription list is about the samo as
the old list, but an effort is to be made to
either have the prescription blowers in the
Flints to Join the green bottle blowers or
ha-v e those m the latter organization go into
the Flints so as to prc ent one working
against the interests ot the other.
Another scheme is on foot to hive no fruit

WON AT WILKESBAEEE.

Unlon Men.
Tho non union men who have been em
ployed at the Green Ridge Iron Works, at
Wilkcslnrrc, have quit work. They had
been working in the place of the union men
w ho struck one month ago, because the firm
reiused to sign the Amalgamated Associa
tion scale.
Tne men quit license of dissatisfaction
nith the firm, and because the union men
had been active in their ranks, winnin"
thetn over to their side.
Miners Have Little to Do.
Work Is v cry slack in tho mines of the
V.'estmorchvnd and Pcnnsylvanii Gas Coal
Company. List week the men wero given
but tw o daj s w oi k. and so Jar have not had

Twenty bricklayers arrived in this city
yesterday from Philadelphia and were taken

An Electric Wire Contract Let
Tho Standard Underground Cable Com
pany, of thin city, has secured a contract
from the Minnesota Brush Electric "Light
Company to lay tho wires for the lighting of
Minneapolis. About 400,000 feet of cable will
bo used. Tho work is worth about $100,000.
SO CHANGE AT SHABPSBUBG.
Non-Union Men Still at Work at tho Vesu
vius Iron Works Mr. D. It. Oliver "ex
plains Ills Interview "With Vice-President
Sheehan Strikers Still Confident.
Jhc situation at tho Vesuvius mill was
unchanged ycstoiday. Tho non-union men
have charge of tho mill, and the plate de
partment seems to bo fully manned. The
strikers are commended by tho mer
chants of Sharpsburg for their good be
havior. The puddling and finishing depart
ments are still idle, and will remain so, so
far as tho Amalgamated men aro concerned.
Hut the firm claims they will not bo pushed
for work in thoso departments for some
time, nnd when it is necessary to operate
them they will have mcu on hand to start
up with.
The men are confident the fight is theirs.
An important meeting has been held, the
result of which none but those interested
can ascertain. It is expected, howeer,
that as soon as President Weilie comes
homo something will drop at Sharpsburg
that is not looked for by Moorhead Ilro. A,
Co. Vice President Shcchan was seen yes
terday, but had nothing additional to say
about the strike. His nteriew- in yester
day's Hispatci!. in which the remark was
attributed to Ml. D. E. Olner. that he con
sidered Mr. Moorhead bound by tho result
of the conference on the scale, attracted a
good deal of attention. Mr. Oliver w as j es
tcrday called on bj a reporter in regard to
tho matter, when ho made the following
statement, which it will be seen make- quite
a serious modification ol th purport ot the
one attributed to him. Mr. Oln er said:
"I did not say that 'I considered Mr.
Moorhead bound by the result of 'tho con
ference on the scale. I ci pressed no opin
ion ou that point. I merely told Mr. Sheo
hnn, in answer to his question, tint I under
stood Mi. Moorhead to bo one of those repre
sented at the conference, and I understood
1 signed for him. I feel hardly able to give
an opiuion as to tho proprictj or otherwise
of Mr. Moorhend's. action in locking out his
men. lam decidedly m favor of adhering
most strictly to any nnd all agreements
mide with tho men, and in this I am no bet
ter than the average manufacturer, but
there are so many elements going to mako
up the Moorhead caso that I feel unable to
give a positive opinion on it. I think Mr.
Moorhead was not present at the last meet
ing the one at which I was authorized to
sign tho scale. Then, again, Mr. Mooihead
learned during the discussions on the scale
that a good many Amalgamated mills in this
district had of late years been getting pans
of their work, including plate rolling,
done at prices and conditions much
lower thin tho scale called for, whereby
they were enabled to undersell him, or else
make him sell at a ios. Then again his
statement that his plate roller made over
Siu.uwinst: year, wniie ne, as tne owner,
made nothing all these conditions I say
mako mo hesitate before allowing myself to
condemn or criticise Mr. Moorchead as I was
represented as doing."
Mr. Oliver said further. "The most effect
ive remedy in my opinion for this state of
affairs is to make fair and equitable rates
for labor, and do away with the 'puddings"
as the men term fat jobs There is no equit
able reason why one man should make $.10 or
$40 dollars per day while another w orkman
less foi tunate but just as deserving has to
work as hard for $3 dollars per day. These
excessive wages in special cases have been
orougnt aDout Dy increased tonnage caused
by improved machinery and appliances. I
have time and again urged the Amalga
mated officials to arrange for a redistribu
tion of wages in theso cases but to no pur
pose: and now the result is shown in eontin
red evasive contracting and undeicutting
ia price and open-handed non unionism."
AHEAD OF THE ASSOCIATION.
Mr. Xieilringhans on His TVay to See Wash
ington Officials First.
Ex Congressman F. G. Xiedringhaus, of St.
Louis, passed through tho city last evening
on his way to the East. He and tho Amal
gamated Association have, during the past
week, stirred up a controversy in labor
circles that is still at fever heat, but he told
an-porterat the Union depot that he de
slrod to avoid further new "paper discussion
on the subject until additional facts can bo
secured on the case.
' The Amalgamated peoplo have had the
last say, but while tho officials of
the organization have been talking
about my right to act, I have been
acting. I"ha e not heard trom them in reply
to my offer to pay double thewages any
skilled workmen ever receU ed in the old
eonntrv. except that they want me to sign
the scale. They must adopt better tactics
than that to get rco to sign tho scale. It
looks t ery much as if tho men were not to
be found."
The prospects are that when Mr. Xiedring
haus returns to St. Loins he will bo "loaded"
for another tin plate broadside similar to
that contained in hlj interview given
through The Dispatch of Sunday last.
Should that be the case the controversy be
tween himself and the Amalgamated Asso
ciation over his proposed importation of
Welsh workmen will deepen considerably
in public interest. Upon its merits hinges
Mr. Jfiednnghaus' right to import such
laboi w lthout t iolatlng the foreign contract
labor laws.
Mr. Xiedringhaus has announced his in
tention of securing such foieign labor by
sending his general superintendent to Eng
land and Wales to spend about two months
in a "study" of the English rolling mills and
tin plate works. Tho result of this
"study" is expected to be tho employment
of enough "dippers" to man that department
of his tin plate plant, which would
mean, probibly, tho importation of 40 Welsh
men to St. Louis. With this decisio action
taken, Mr. Xiodringhaus himself now goes
liist on business connected with the same
much agitated que-tion. It would not be
surprising if his visit should include a con
ference with the officials in Washington, un
dertaken with a Ticw to convincing the
Government that tho importation of at least
the two scores of Welsh "dippers" was im
peratu e at the birth of the new "infant in
dustry." In connection w ith tho position of
affairs comes the news from London that a
number of Welsh tin plate workers are pre
paring to emigrate to America, and while
they are not under contract with any com-
fmny or companies in this country, they
ia e a good idea of where to go when they
get here.
A DEPEESSED TRADE.
Overproduction and Hate pfiUitg Havo In
jured the Pipe Business.
Joshua Rhodes went to Xcw York last
evening to attend a meeting of the Wrought
lion Pipe Association. Mr. Rhodes said the
business was badly demoralized, owing to
tho manufacturers cutting prices and the
overproduction, ne said the makers wero
ruuniug their worKs to lose as little as possi
ble, or more than that as they see fit. They
are not making anything.
He thought ins own plant, tho Pennsyl
vania Tube Works, was the only ono in the
country running full If anything, the price
w ill be reduced. He remarked that the
members of tho association stick to the
agreement when tl.cy havo more than they
can do, but m times of depression each mail
looks out for himself.

Carpenters Deny That Their Special Agent
Is to He Deposed.
Union Xo. 42 of the Carpenters' Brother
hood met at fecllers" Hall last night. Quite a
number of the old members w ero taken back
into the fold and tho union has about re
gained its former strength.
The statement that the Carpenters' Coun
cil would dispense with tho services of Spe
cial Agent few artz is vigorously denied by
John G. Snj der, of that organization. "Mr.

Mi. Snyder, "and he will perfonn'the duties

A Southsido Car Plays Havoc With a

Yesterday afternoon about i o'clock, as
James Lawless, a Southsidc huckster, was
driving down South Eighth stiect, near

seeing that it was slowing up, he suddenly
started to cross in front ot it, when his

GENERAL GOSSIP OP ME TWIN CITIES.
Mr. John H. McCreery was before the
Allegheny Committee on Surveys last night.
and raised a question on the right of thod
committee to appoint viewers. He argued
that tho Courts appointed tbom for Pitts
burg, nnd as Allegheny was now a city of tho
same rank tho Mowers should besimilaily
chosen.
On the regular business being brought up,
an adverse report was received from the
sub committee on J. II. McCreery's plan of
lots in tho Tenth wnrd. Tho sub committee
reported adversely because tho property
will bo traversed by Euclid avenue, n pro
posed street, which is notshown in tho plan.
J. II. McCreery spoke in favor of his plan.
Ho objected to Euclid avenne, claiming that
it would damage tho property and bo a use
less expense, ns tho strcot would bo of no
benefit.
Mr. Lowe mentioned that viewers had
been nppointod on the street.
Mr. McCreery replied that he did not think
the committeo had a right to appoint view
ers. Tho court appoints them for Pittsburg,
and Allegheny was also a second-class city.
Mr. Lowosaid that Cily Solicitor Elphin
stone had informed them that Allegheny
could operate under a special act.
Mr. McCreery answered that he had tho
greatest respect for Mr. Elphinstone, who
was a man of ability, but he had been told
by a man who had forgotten more than a
man of Mr. Elohinstonc's nge could know
that it could not, and tho city would find it
out some day. On motion tho plan of lots
under discussion was laid over for a week.
Tho ordinance changing the gmdo of Kirk
patrick avenue, against which theiewasa
remonstrance, was laid over until tho next
meeting. The ordinance repealing tho oidi
nanco w ldening aportion of Arch streot and
tho ordinance widening Woodland nvonno
were ordered printed lor the use of Coun
cils. Tho petition for widening, establishing the
grade and changing the name of Lincoln
avenue was referred to the subcommittee.
Tho oi dinance consenting to the vacation of
a portion of Leckoy load was reported on
adversely by tho sub-committee. Mr. Mer
cer stated that tho people who petitioned
for tho ordinance also signed the lemon
stranc against it, and he moved to pi ice
the ordinance on file. The motion was
adopted.
The petition to have a grade established
on Virginia street, on the suggestion of City
EngincerSwan, was laid over until a grade
is established on Pcrrysville avenue.
Gnsky's plan of lots in tho Tenth ward,
the Itidgeviow Land Company's plan. Elev
enth ward, and the Van Point plan, Elev
enth w ard, w ere approved. Profiles ot Mor

residing, when at noine, in Allegheny, one
of w horn is 9 years and the other about 14
3 cars old. Their plan is to lay around for a

E0BEOWED HIS BUGGY.
Alderman Bartman Has an Exciting Time
With Two Horse Thieves.
Alderman Hartman, of the Twenty-seventh
ward, had a little experience yesterday
which he will remember for at least a week
or two. Ho drove his horse and buggy to
the Court House yesterday to call on some
county officials and hnve a guardian ap
pointed for a Miss Helena Sehmeidlo. a
young German girl who wishes to get mar
ried. Tho Alderman hitched his horso
to a post on Diamond street and went into
the Court House to attend to his bnslness.
When he returned tliehoisonnd buggy wero
missing. He was informed by a bystander
that he would find his rig at tho Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad station. He hurried down
to Smithfleld street.andns he reached Fourth
avenue ho saw his rig in the charge of
two men, who were strangers to him. He
followed them to Fourth avenue and Grnnt
strcot, where they stopped, and upon being
questioned by the Alderman where they got
the rig, they said it hadbeenloanod to them.
Aldeiman Hartman saya he knew this to bo
false, and ordered them out of the buggy.
They refused toet out, and he undertook
to throw them out. In doing so ho found he
had undertaken a much larger task than ho
supposed. After considerable scuffling ho
sav s he go both men out, but not until lie
sprained his wrist and hurt his hand badly.
Last night it was swollen to twice its natural
size and showed signs of getting still larger.
The Alderman says he learned afterward
that one of the men was Thomas Morgan, of
the Eleventh ward. He will enter suit
against both persons.
NO MEETING HELD HEBE.
Tho Presence of Quay and Fruit Gave Rise
to Several Rumors.
Senator Quay and his son Dick rode into
town yesterday afternoon f l om tho South
side in a cab. Tho Senator was heard of later
at the Seventh Avenue Hotel, but ho did not
legistcr. When last seen ho was making his
way toward Allegheny to take a train for
home. J. S. Fruit, of Sharon, appeared in
the citv lato in the afternoon and the im
pression got abroad that thero was to bo a.
gathering of the faithful. Mr. Fruit, how
ever, soon departed for Sharon, and so
far as could be learned no meeting
was held m Pittsburg. Mr. Fruit was
returning from the meeting of tho Treasury
Committee in Harrisburg. He said the
Democrats wero very much surprised when
they saw the Republican members of the

IN HOC ONCE M0EE.
This Time Florence Donaldson Is Wanted
oij a Charge Out of Town.
Florence Donaldson, the girl who figured so
prominently in the May Sullivan case which
sent Jeweler Bobbs, of Scottdale, to tho
penitentiary two years ago, was arrested at
No. 76 First avenue by Inspector McAleese
and Detective Coulson last night. The In
spector refused to say upon what charge tho

questioning admitted that she was wanted

EUNS AWAY TO EEST.
Father Mollinger Obliged to Leave
His Home Owing to tho
CONTINUED CROWDS ON THE HILL.
It Is Said He Will Visit Archbishop Byan
at Philadelphia.
PEOPLE FOLLOW WITEREVER nE GOES
Father Mollinger, the renowned priest
physician of Troy Hill, has at length decided
on taking a vacation. He will leave this
week for the East, but his objective point is
kept secret, 'trom a gentleman very
near him it is learned that tho
priest may stay some time with Arch
bishop Rj an at Philadelphia. When Father
Mollinger went East last year he himself
was surpiised at the largo numbers of peo
ple who sought him out to obtain his bless
ing. Since he goes away for a rest from his
labors, he recognizes the necessity of keep
ing his abiding place a secret, else ho would
have as many patients craving attendance
at his hands as thero were on Troy Hill.
STILL CROWDING THE HILL.
Sinco the wide circulation of the St. An
thony's day celebration on Troy Hill thero
has not been any cessation in tho number of
pilgiims to the shrine. They still continue
to airive fiom every corner of the country,
and the demands on the priest-physician's
time and the strain on hishealth are so severe
that he is compelled to leave his homo for
relaxation. It was recently stated that ho
would remain at his comfortable residence
on the hill, driving twice or thrice during
the week to visit the clergymen of St. Maiy's
Church, at Sharpsbuig, where lie. was once
a pastor, but lie is obliged to go away
in con-equence of tho crowds which stifi
flock to see him. Even when hediove along
the banks of tho Allegheny to Sharpsburg
he was followed there bj patients who im
portuned the St. Mary's clergyman to obtnin
lor them an audience w ith Father Mollinger.
The reverend gentleman is not afforded a
minnte's relief by those who seek his bless
ing, nnd the strain is w earing on him.
It is said on the hill, by those acquainted
w ith Father Mollinger's intentions, that ho
v ill adopt new rules with his visitors when
he returns from his vacation. In future
prescribing w ill be done only lor those who
come long distances and who cannot attend
the services in the church. On those who
can attend church the priest will impose
penances as usua..
BLESSINGS BY WHOLESALE.
Catholics and other denominations alike
must visit the shrine of St. Anthony for at
least three mornings in succession. They
must also attend the sacrifice of the mass.
Following Father Mollinger will givo two
blessings, tho first with holy water and the
next with a relio of St. Anthony. Those
present will be requested to kneel,
and the blessing will be delivered
in general instead of individually,
as heretofore. By this plan a church lull of
peoplo can be disposed ot at once. In addi
tion to attending mass Catholic patients
will havo imposed upon them penances of
prayer and lasting, and those of other de
nominations will have to abstain from the
use of flesh meat during the rest of their
liv cs. The increasing numberof his visitors
nnkes these rules imperative. Father
Mollinger has been seeing visitors in
his church office almost daily for 20
j ears, and his health will no longor permit
of such constant demands on it. Tho rou
tine of his life has been to rise at 6 o'clock,
celebrate mnss at 7 o'clock, and after a light
collation at 8 o'clock begin to see his
patients, work which detained him fie
quently until 1 and 2 o'clock. Often he has
had to return and resume until 5 or 6 o'clock
in the cv ciinig.
THE VEEMIFOBM APPENDIX.
This Useless Tissue in the Human Frame
Caused W. E. McCutcheon's Death.
An autopsy performed on Tuesday by
Drs. Campbell, Clark and Calhoun, on tho
body of William Elder McCuteheon, of Oak
mount, who died on Monday and was buried
yesterday, revealed the fact that death was
caused by a bean lodging in the vermiform
appendix. This is a small tube forming a
part ot tho digestive organs, which has an
oiifice without any passage leading from it.
Hence, anything which may chance to
lodge there is certain to remain, and being
removed from the piocess ot digestion
causes inflammation and subsequently
death.
The vermiform appendix is one of the few
tissues in tho human body which fulfills no
purpose. Of late v ears it has become ap
parent to medical men that many deaths for
which no cause could be propcrlj assigned
weie leallyattubutable to food enteiingthe
onilce of thevermifomi appendix audflnding
no outlet, there remained undigested, to
cause lata! results.
Joe McCuteheon, a younger brother of tho
deceased, was accidentally shot several
years ago. The bullet entered the abdomen
and pierced tho lungs coming out at the
light shoulder. Vet ho recovered and is
now well and hearty, while a bean killed his
biothci.
DUQUESNE IS A BOROUGH.
Judge Slsglo Draws the Line Outside of the
Factories.
Judge Slaglo j esterday granted a decree
for the incorporation of tho borough of Du
qucsne. The petition for tho incorporation
was presented to court September 13, 1S90.
A remonstrance against it was filed, but tho
grand jury recommended the incorporation.
Exceptions to the finding were filed by
the Allegheny Bessemer Steel Company, the
Howard Plato Glass Company and others,
who wanted their property excluded from
the borough limits. Judge Slagle, however,
granted the decree excepting from the
limits only farm lands belonging to tho
Hays estate and the McElhaney larm No. 1.
The new boiough Is located acioss the river

NEW AND NOVEL TYPEWRITER.
A Company Being Organized to Manufac
ture One Which Prints In View ot the
User It Weighs Only 14 Pounds and
Can be Worked With Great Facility.
In one of the parlors of the Anderson yes
terday was exhibited the model of a type
writer of new and original design which has
tho distinctive merit of permitting tho
user to see what he is writing. The machine
is the invention of J. D. Daughterty, Court
Stenographer at Kittanning, and of many
years exponenco in the use of typewriters.
He has bestowed much time nnd thought
on the perfecting of nn instrument which
would be smaller, lighter, more easily man
ipulated, and worked with greater rapidity
than any in use. And those who have seen
the machine are quick to admit that he has
accomplished his purpose.
When tho keys are struck the typo baris
driven np ward to the printing point by di
rect action, and from the writer, so tha't tho
printing is done on the side of the cylinder
opposite to and facing the operator. The
feed is regulated so that the spacing is dono
in the interv al betw een tho rise and fall of
succcsslv e letters. No time is lost throjgh
v niting for ono letter to clear itself before
tho next is applied. Absolute nlignment is
obtained at the printing point bv means of a
guido, and the letters are set at such an an
gle in tho frame as to reach the printing
point with perfect accuracy. As in other
instiuments the upperandlower caso letters
are on the same type bars. Tho machine
will not bo more thanflvcinches high, weigh
ing about 14 pounds. The kev board is as
usual.
A merit claimed for it by the inventor is
that its working parts consist of only 390
pieces against the, from 1,400 to 3,000 in other
machines. Thus it can be made and sold at
half the price of other machines. A com
piny is being formed to place this new type
writer, the "world beater," on the market.
The following gentlemen are back of the
enterprise: John O. Colwell and William
rollock, of Kittanning: Henry Warner,
James II. McCain, David M. Cargo, B. Forst,
G. C. Orr, Gcoige Reese, Joseph Bufflngton
and C. T. Mocsta. The capital stock is $100,
000, and a charter of incorporation will bo
npplied for shortly. The machine is fully
covered by patents, and expert typewriters
who saw it v esterday expressed tho highest
approval of it.
There is a probability that the factory for
the manufacture of the new typewriter will
be locatod near Pittsburg, several sites
have been offered for the purpose. So tar
the choice lies between Kittanning and this
city.
BLAME THE DEMOCRATS.
Spicy Report Published by the K. ofL.
Leglslative Committee.
Tho Legislative Committeo of the K. of L.
has pnblished'a lengthy and rather spicy re
port, commenting on the attitude of tho
two leading political parties toward the sev
eral bills that were pi esented at the recent
session in tho interest of organized labor.
The report first speaks of the attempt to get
pledges from legislative candidates in ad
vance of the election on certain measures.
Tho Constitntlonal Convention bill was
tho first one advocated. The report finds
that: "To the Republican party is due the
credit of a Constitutional Convention. Less
we cannot say, more it is needless to say. It
would be unfair to charge tho Democratic
Senators as individuals with bad faith in
this matter. Foremost among those oppos
ing we are compelled to note as followB: Sen
ators Ross Lloyd and Dunlap; and those fav
oring and stiongly advocating: Senators
Rapsher, Green, Hines and Brown. The Rob
inson bill was not all in this respect that we
honestly contended for, nor is the bill as
passed what the peoplo are fairly entitled
to; bnt when the party pledged to tho con
vention refused to exert proper efforts in
this behalf, it is not competent for that
party to except to the Robinson bill, nor is
it the province of this committee to com
plain thnt, under the circumstances, this
was less than our portion as awaided by the
Republican side."
The committeo blames Messrs. Lytle and
Farr w ith the defeat of the free school book
bill and Senator Thompson for the loss of
the bituminous commission bill. A. C. Rob
ertson comes in for the committee's con
demnation for having worked against a gen
eral eight-hour law. The thanks of tho
committee, however, are tendered to the
members who did not assist in having tho
following bills enacted: A constitutional
convention bill, a ballot reform bill, a bill
abolishing company stores, a semi monthly
pay bill, a bill abolishing conspiracy laws,
an antnracite mine oiu, a compulsory edu
cation bill (vetoed) and a bill enabling-lnb-oiersto
collect pay for work stocking saw
logs, etc.
The committee concludes by heaping the
responsibility of their heaviest losses upon
the heads of the Democratic members, and
in the following language strongly intimates
that the prediction made in The Dispatch a
few days ago that the K. of L. would support
the Republican party this fall, is true.
It Is only simple justice tossy. In our case, that
silence on the Democratic side during tne debates
on labor measures w as about equal to modest oppo
sition on the Republican side upon the same meas
ures. It has been the boast of the Democratic
purtr that It stood for tl c people and for labor's
Just demands. Yes, bnt the facts arc they did not
stand, but sat during the debates on our bills. The
true, bra re and aggressle Hlnes bad to do the
standing and take the shafts that were constantly
and remorselessly flung from the other side. This
was unfvlr to us and decldedl unchlvalrlc. Had
our pledged friends on the minority side "stood up"
for our bills, as they should hav e done, we are sat
isfied to belicv c that their argumentative powers In
detense of ju-t incisures uoulrl have Impressed the
Republican side and persuaded them even against
tin ir will that persistenc and courage merit suc
cess, and, though thev tailed in this, they would
li i e earned respect for their efforts from those wim
were delegated to wltnesss. but were not permitted
to engage la the debates.
WHAT COL. ELKINS SATS
About the Charge Relating to S7,fi00,000
Worth of Bonds of the Chicago Gas Co.
President George W. Elkins, of the Pitts
burg Traction Company, does not believe
the story sent to TheDispatch from Chicago
relating to tho allegation that Messrs.
Vcrkes, Widcner, Elkins, Cummings and
others took $7,500,0C0 from the treasury of
the Chicago Gas Light and Trust Company.
Tho charge is that the accused men issued
bonds to the amount named, sold them and
put tho proceeds in their pockets.
Colonel Elkins smiled a grim smile when
nsked what he knew of it, if anything.
"There is not a word of truth in it," he said.
"They don't do that kind of business. The
stoiy was manufactured by some reporter,
and there is nothing in it at all."
FUNERAL OP MBS. MEAD.
The
Remains Were Interred at Bellevue
Cemetery Vesterday.
The funeral of Mrs. Eleanor X. Mead, wife
of Morris W. Mead, of (ho Buicau of Elec
tricity, took place yesterday afternoon, the
remains being interred in the Bellevue
Cemetery. The services at the family resi
dence, corner of Ward and Wilniot streets,
were conducted by Chancellor Holland, of
the Western University, assisted by Rev.
Dr. McClelland. About 1,000 friends called
at the house during the day to condole with
the bereaved family.
Miss Mary Norton, a sister of the deceased
lady, arrived home from the Thousand

Rio Janlcro, Not Cuba.
Tho reporter who got information regard
ing the British coal trado witli the West
Indies and South America misunderstood
his informant in one respect. It is Rio
Janiero, and not Cuba, that has paid tho En
glish $1011 per ton for coal, but tho difler
ence in cost between the two places would
he slight, merely tho vnlue of the extra, tinio
required to make the ran between the ports.
He Does Not Like the Man.
Tho hitherto authorized version of tho
McElravy-Jordan imbroglio in the Jr. U.
O. A. M. of Shaiou, is pronounced incorrect.
It is now said that McElravy is the man
whose duty it is to install, and that Jordan
refuses to accept the unction nt his hands.
Just what will be done about it is at present
a matter of guessw ork.

BETWEEN BROTHERS.
A Desperate Encounter Grows Ont
of a Speak-Easy Raid.
A W03IAK RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.
They Engage in a Disgraceful Street
Fight on Fifth Avenue.
BOTH LANDED U CENTRAL STATION
As a result of tho raid upon tho fancy
speak-easy on Vickroy street, presided over
bv Charles C. Thomas and wife, a dramatic
scene ocenrred in front of the entrance to
Wallace's saloon, 52f Fifth avenue, between
9 nnd 10 o'clock last night. Moses A.
Michalcs, President or tho Michales
Electric Mining and Machino Company,
tho ofllccs of which are located
at 301 Smithfleld street, was one of tho vic
tims of the palaco speak-easy raid, being
there, it Is alleged, as the especial guest of
the "dressmaker," Edith Martin. Yesterday
he pleaded guilty to the charge of v isiting
the house, and Judge Gripp imposed a line
of $30, which he paid. Last evening his
brother, Willis E. Michales, a railroad tele
graph operator, met him, and a
war of words ensued, the sub
ject of tho wrangle being tho
speak-easy Incident. The yonng operator
severely accused his brother of outrageously
offending against the good name of the fam
ily, and tho electric mining magnate counter-charged
that Willis had been guilty of
furnishing the police department with the
tips on the Thomas house which led to his
arrest and exposure.
BROTHERS COME TO BLOWS.
There aro other points in regard to tho
relations of the Martin woman and Mr.
Moses Michales which his brother objected
to, the accusations being loud enough to be
heard by many bystanders. The wrangle
soon came to blows, and the mining man
was knocked down with a heavy-handled
umbrella, tho stroke inflicting a horrible
half-moon gasli below the ev e. Quickly re
covering himselt the electrician, who
is physically much too weak
for an encounter with his oper
ator brother, commenced a desperate
rain of lightweight blows over the head and
face, nnd in a hilt minute the brothers were
rolling on the sidewalk, with a crowd of 100
people watching them. Officer J. II. Kramer
parted the two men and turned in a call
lor the patrol. Both were quito willing to
go to the Central polico station, two blocks
away, but objected to riding in the police
wagon. They were compelled to get on
board, howover, and were soon in the com
pany of the common herd behind the iron
door.
nE MADE TJP AND LEFT.
Inspector McAleese was-called in, and find
ing that a reconciliation bad taken place
accepted a deposit forthe appearance of the
twain this morning. After washing the
blood oft" their faces and brushing their
good clothes, a carriage was called and the
combatants wero taken to their home at
52 Fayette street, Allegheny, accompanied
by an officer, who was instructed to bring
tbem back if cither displayed the least ill
temper. The men come irom an excellent
family and have many friends who attemnt
to apologize for them. The older brother,,
wno is marrieu ana is responsiDie ior tne
disgraceful affair, is severely criticised by
everybody, though many good w ords are
said lor him.
Both C. C. Thomas, also an electrician, and
his wife will be taken to the workhouse this
morning in default of fines of $50 each. unless
friends come to their rescue, which is not'
probable. In riding to the depot in the
