Tw
The tragic death of Henry X. Deihl, the
yiolice officer who put a bullet through his
head on First avenue Tuesday evening, was
almost the sole topic of conversation in
police circles yesterday, and many new de
tails were brought to light
"What the dead officer meant in his final
letter when he said "I hope Annie will
till you both," was the subject of consider
able speculation until the full text of his
last words were examined. Several para
graphs of the letter were omitted in
the newspaper reports, for the reason
that another name was involved.
"Annie," of course, was Sirs. Deihl;
but who could be included with Maggie Ed
gar in the word "both." In that portion of
the letter which was omitted Deihl ex
plained that he had frequently passed
"Mary" money to take Maggie's place at
the Koth retaurant while she was absent
with him. "Mary," it develops, was the
jrirl who accompanied the Edgar girl to the
police station after the fatal shot was fired.
Her name is Mary McVickers, and, while
much older than Maggie Edgar, was her
especial friend and companion. An in
vestigation proved that she was paid by
Deihl at the rate of 50 cents a night to take
Maggie's place at the restaurant, while the
pretty little waitress and the officer made
visits to a place in Allegheny.
HEIt DEATH WAS REQUESTED.
The McVickers woman had made her
home TUth Edgar, at Id iirst avenue,
and-ho 1ms lcn very laniiliar with the
affairs of Deihl and Miss Edgar. Why the
officer should cypress tho wish. In his dying
statement, that his wilt would kill the Uc
"Vickcn. woman can only be a matter of con
Jectme, though Inspector McAleaso does not
".peak of l.er in the most complimeiary terms
111 connection with tho tragedy.
Mrs. Deihl did not recover Irom the terri
ble shock 3 ester-lay. remaining for hours In
a j-euii-consciou:. condition. Great sym
pathy was fxpre-sod for heron every h.md
yesterday, and her many excellent qualities
oeie n equently referred to. It is denied by
liei friends that "he had attempted to put
intu execution the threat upon her life, re
peal edlv made
In talking of the case yesterday Chief
Brown, of the Department of Public Safety,
tj.id that ho regarded Delhi as 0110 of the
best officers ou the force, though he says
that ho would never hae been reinstated
after tlie Chicago escapade had it not been
for Mrs. Delhi. The suspended officer went
to tjuiei urowu upon uis return ironi
Chicago and was told that his service -wiiuid
no longer be acceptable. He begged
Jor reinstation, but met with no encourage
ment. Finally Mrs. Delhi came to the ollico
of Chief Brown and interceded for her hus
band. She told the Chief that Mr. Deihl had
promised to care for his taniily better in the
lature, and that they were then in absolute
irant.
ItEHCSTATED THEOCGH. MTV.
The rent had not been paid and there was
no money for their support. The chief final
ly promised her that if Inspector McAleese
would recommend that he be reinstated that
another trial would be given him. On ac
count of his eNcellcnt record as an officer
and the condition of his family the Inspec
tor advised that he be reinstated, which was
done.
Tne remains of the dead officer will be
taken to Ins old home at Irwin, Pa., lor bur
ial thisalternoon, leaving the Union station
at 1 o'clock. Inspector McAleese has de
tailed the following officers to act as pall
'bearers, accompanying the remains to Irwin-
Albert Teeters, Mlcheal Connelly,
Andy Scott, Brady Thompson, A Mannion
and fieorge Boyd. The officers will report
in full uniform at headquarters at 12 o'clock
nnd proceed immediately to the house on
"Washington street.
At the inquest yesterday nothing new was
developed in the case. A verdict of suicide
"was rendered, and the remains were re
moved from the Morgue to the dead officer s
lateiesidence.
The Coroner ordered the release of Maggie
Edgai. and yesterday afternoon she was
Mt'n promenading Sinithlield street in com-1-any
nh a girl ot about her own age. She
was dresed in a bright new sailor suit and
hat and exhibited no signs of mental
anxiety. On the contrary she seemed quite
chipper, and every here she went she was
pointed out by people who lined the side
walks. The following special was received from
Irwin station last night: "Officer Henry X.

WILL BE A REPUBLICAN.
When a FIro Chief Is Appointed Weihe
Will Not Be In It.
If Chief Brown Is-running his own affairs,
nnd asldo from a little newspaper talkthcro
socms to be nothing to the contrary, the
selection of a chief of the Are department is
still an unsettled matter, notwithstanding
contrary reports.
"Yes," said he, "I have heard of the re
port that Miles Humphries has declined the
appointment, and that I have tendered the
position to William Weihe, but this is sim
ply tho work of a fertile Imagination. Any
one can readilv understand this if they stop
to consider. No doubt Mr. Weihe would
make a competent head for the fire depart
ment, but it is not likely that I would
appoint a Demoorat to such an imports
ant position. I am a Republican, and
you may rest assured that the next Chief of
the Fire Department will be a Republican. I
will not. as 1 stated to The Dispatch yester
day, name the new Are chief until after the
return of Chief Evans from Springfield, and
probably not until my return from the Har
rlsburg convention, for which I leave on Mon
day. When I do name tho new fire chief I
will nlso appoint his subordinates, nnd de
fine their duties and the duties or the officers
or-the department. All of this may take a
week."

REVIEWEDTHE GUARD.
The Second Brigade Passes in Column
Before the Governor.
WORK THAT DREW FORTH PRAISE.
Crowds of People Look on at the Evolutions
of the Boys.
THE EXECUTIVE EETURNS HOME AGAIN
The Second Brigade of the State Guards
in came at Arnold's station did itself proud
yesterday. So said its Commander, Briga
dier General "Wiley, its reviewing officer of
the day, Governor 3?attison, and so uni
versally agreed the cohort of admirers
which congregated without the lines to wit
ness the business of the day. It was the
Governor's day, and the review of the
brigade which His Excellency held
was accomplished most successfully
and satisfactorily, as lje took
occasion to observe. The day was not too
warm, and the rain precipitated over night
had subsided, leaving the ground dry, and,
toward the afternoon, in good marching
condition. The review over, the Governor
and his staff embarked at 7 o'clock on board
a special train for Pittsburg, whence the
journey to Harrisburg was continued on the
fast line nt 8:10 o'clock. The Governor spent
nearly four days in camp. Summed up in a
phrase, his opinion of the Second Brigade
is that it compares more than favorably
with the other two he has visited. Quite a
number of Pittburgers called on the Gov
ernor during the day, and fully 1,000 people
visited the soldier boys in their quarters.
EEVIEWED Br THE GOVERNOR.
The feature of the day was the review by
the Governor. This came off at 4 o'clock.
The forenoon waa occupied in the customary
routine drills. Battery B camo down from
its quarters in the wood into the parade
ground aud spent three hours in evolution
and gun drill. The Eighteenth Kegtment
took the field at 6 o'clock before the sleep
was out of the boys' eyes nnd had a crack at
battaliou drill. So had the Fourteenth aud
Sixteenth Keglments, who musteied for in
spection, deferred owing to the storm over
night, and nfterward went through a few
maneuvers before returning to quarters.
Befoio tho Eighteenth was dismissed Second
Lieutenant James H. Bigger was the re
cipient of a testimonial from tho members
of his company. Company B. Lieutenant
Colonel Kutlcdge, dismounting, advanced
to where the officers had assembled in front,
and iu a neat speech presented the lieuten
ant with n handsomely finishod dress sword
or regulation pattern. Lientcnani Biggor
was too much taken bv surprise to acknowl
edge the attention and Captain W. Davis, of
Company C, responded for him In very ap
propriate tonus.
Promptly at 4 o'clock, the time set in
orders, the six regiments of infantry,
Battery B, and the troop of cavalry
had massed in line In brigade formation.
Tho regimental bands, headed by the brigade
band, were stationed on the right flank.
Tho picket lines were stationed nt about one
third distance on the ground from the cant)
lines, and on the rising ground opposite, r
the railroad side, a goodly number of spec
tators had assembled to witness tho proceed
ings. At i o'clock sharp, with military
punctuality, the Governor nnd his staff
moved from the division headquarters and
took up a position at the base of the rising
ground alluded to. Some little time was here
lost on account of an oversight on the part
of the Commander.
THE BOYS MADE A FINE SHOWING.
When the Governor and his staff had
taken their positions at tho reviewing point
the regiments were already in tho field, in
lisht marching order, and in brigade front
formation. The customary manevuer of
presenting the brigade to tho Governor was
performed, and the command for close order
given. Next came the command "Prepare
to pass in review: companies, right wheel,"
and executed. This brought tho brigade
into companies front, prepared to march in
company front formation past the reviewing
point. At this point it was discovered that
General Wiley bad been guilty of a very
serious oversight In not allowing the Gover
nor and his staff to troop the line, a cere
mony invariable in reviews. The regiments
were then once more brought Into brigade
front, and the evolutions gone thiough with
again.
The command, "Bear open older" was
given, and shortly after the Governor and
his stair cantered down to tne right ot the
line.
The brigade band struck up a quickstep
and tho reviewing officer with his staff
passed along the line, returning along the
rear. Coming up on the" right flank again,
the Governor mounted on "Sleepy Frank,"
Major McCandless' steed, led the pace at
such a rate that his staff made a
very considerable tail, only pulling up at
the reviewing point some moments alter the
Governor had taken up his position. The
march past followed. The brigadeband led,
playing a quickstep, followed bv the regi
mental fife and drum corps. The Tenth,
with the gaiiant ana soiuicriy uoionei Haw
kins at its head, led the column, and no regi
ment on the ground beat the Tenth, either
in point of equipment, appearance or in
marching. The Fifteenth followed, and the
general appearance of this regiment would
have been better if its last company had
donned tha regulation leggins. The Eight
eenth camo next, fully equipped of
good physique, and marching well,
dividing with the Tenth the honors for all
round merit. Following came the Fifth,
with hut one staff officer, its Colonel, riding
at the head, the rest being distributed along
the line. Tho regiment was well equipped.
The First Company of the Sixteenth Regi
ment lclt its leggins indoors, and the
Fourteenth following made a capital show
ing, the boys marching well, in good align
ment and steadily. This regiment was the
only one that entirely dispensed with the
leggins, and for that reason looked just a
little ragged.
HOW THE BATTERIES WORKED.
Battery B, with its four guns, and;theJSher
idan troop of 63 men, but two short of;its
full muster, completed tho columns. Cap
tain Jones, of the troop, is proud of the
snowing made by his command, nnd ho has
reason to be. The troop is raised in three
counties, Blair, Huntingdon and Center, and
has four armories. The most the men
can accomplish is squad drill, and
it is only on occasions of this
kind that the command can be
brought together for tactical evolutions.
Captain Jones kept his m'en out for an hour
after tho review and gave them a little
work over the ground. The troops charged
twice in good stylo to the admiration and
applause of the spectators. Battery B also
had a crack at drill, but the imantry were
dismissed to quarters, the last to go in being
the Tenth. Colonel Hankins got on his horso
and seemed irresolute as to whether to give
his lads a turn or not.
"Let them off this time," suggested a by
stander. Genial Lieutenant Colonel Streeter second
ed the motion, and the Colonel, acquiescing,
dismissed his command, to tho gratification
of the boys. Colonel Hawkins said his lads
had done well and he felt proud of them.
Governor Pattison, when the review was
over, shook hads with General Wiley and
then returned with the staff to division
headquarters, while the brigade commander
filed on" in the opposite direction with his
staff.
From this until 6.30 o'clock the Governor
was engaged in conversing with friends and'
In taking luncheon preparatory to leaving
for Harrisburg. During a few minutes con
versation the Governor expressed himself
as being well pleased with the surroundings
of the Second Brigade.
"The brigade compares," he said, "very
favorably with the others and!has made
a very tavorable showing, indeed. The
efficiency of the guard Is improving year by
year, and the' work done during my presence
m camp is such as is calculated to improve
res emciency still lurtuer.
PLEASED WITH THE GROUND.
The Governor thought the parade ground
an excellent one, and could see no reason
why anyone should find fault with it. Ho
thought it one of the best he had yet visited.
Pievious to the review the Governor, with
his staff, mado an Inspection of each legl
mental quarters. The only absentee from
the staff, it was remarked, was Lieutenant
Colonel James B. Hunsicker, whose con
conduct toward Lieutenant and Adjutant
Charles Reese, of the Eighteenth Regiment,
will form tho subject of a courtmartial In
quiry. This episode was generally discussed
yesterday, the more especially as an effort
was made to stay proceedings. The matter
lies between an officer of tho guard, Colonel
Hunsicker, who was commissioned in
February of this year, as aide de
camp, and another officer of the guard.
Adjutant Bcese. who has seen 15 years ser
vice. Colonel Hunsicker, on Monday, en
tered tho Eighteenth Beglment quarters,
and, accosting the Adjutant of tho regl
ment in an informal and irregular
manner, desired him to form his regi
ment at once- Ho simply addressed
tho Adjutant as "Reese," and thot officer
was unaware be was being spoken to offi
cially. The more so a3 that if Colonel Hun
sicker had orders from headquarters to im
part to the Eighteenth Regiment, he shonld
have addressed himself to the Colonel, in his
absence to the Lieutenant Colonel,
and failing the chiefs to the
Adjutant, Colonel Hunsicker afterwards
accused the Adjutant of tho Eighteenth of
using unofficial language, a charge which
his comrades deny he used. The general
impression is that the aide de camp was too
hasty and unaware of the regulations.
Colonel A D. Seeley was staff officer of the
day, and so efficient and courteous was he in
the discharge of his duty at division head
quarters as to storm the hearts of a numer
ous bevy of ladies who adorned tho Gover
nor's quarters. In recognition of the
Colonel's good qualities they tendered him a
little surprise, and mado him blush again by
hanging a chaplet ofnnedals, 11 or 16 in num
ber, around his neck. The genial Colonel is
officer of the day until next encampment.
VISITORS AT THE CAMP.
Among the visitors to the camp yesterday
were Mrs. Dr. Wiley, Miss Carrie Wiley, and
"The Daughter of the Regiment," as the
Eighteenth's Surgeon Major's little girl Is
called; ex-Sheriff J. P. Wiley, of York, as
tiie surgeon's guest: Mrs. General Wiley

Regiment headquarters.
John Oliver and his little son were in
camp. Captain James Gorden, formerly of
Company E, Eighteenth Regiment, was a
guest of his old command. Signal
Sorgeant Stewart, having predicted decent
weather for the day, concluded he
might abide by, and run down to the camp.
He did so in company of Mr. Gleffer, of Post
office Department. Jame M. Nellis, a former
First Lieutenant of Company B, Eighteenth
Beglment, spent the day with his old com
pany. General Snowden lost his watch durlnjr the
reviow. He valued it at $200, but prized it
the more because it was a heirloom. The
General is much put out about the affair,.
nnu tnreatens to una a scan appointment ior
the man who finds it.
LIKE THE OLD LOVES BEST.
Fittsbnrg Belles Not In Favor of Tights or
the Divided Skirt Dressmakers Have
No Call for Them Hints to the Bo
formers. The excitement over woman's dress re
reform, that is now in progress at Chautau
qua, docs not seem to have reached Pitts
burg in any other form than newspaper dis
cussion. The people of this city do not
take kindly to startling innovations.
Especially is this true of women's dress.
Mrs. Parker and her followers may talk
about the divided skirt and silk tights, but
our dainty Pittsburg women do not care for
tbem. They prefer to array themselves in
the soft, clinging garments, that have always
been in vogue, and to leave the bold depart
ures in costume to strong-minded females
and those who are willing to follow blindly
any leador, no matter whera the trail may
end.
A DisrATcn representative yesterday vis
ited a number of tho principal modistes of
the two cities, to find out whether the di
vided skirt was being worn generally in
Pittsburg. One dressmaker in Allegheny,
who does a large business among the rich
women of the city, said: x
"I cannot answer for other dressmakers,
bnt I know that I do not moke any dresses
of that pattern. In all my experience 1 have
had only 0110 order for a new-fangled, di
vided skirt dress. Tho purchaser of that
particular dress got it only as an experi
ment, I suppose, for she never had another,
and she Is one ot my regular customers, too,
who spends a great deal of money on her
clothes in the course of a year."
"Why does not the divided skirt become
popular, if it is as comfortable as dress re
formers say?" asked the reporter.
The dressmaker smiled knowingly as she
answered:
"What do women dress fort"
As she evidently waited for a response,
the reporter gave it In the shape of a mysti
fied shake of the head.
"Well. I'llrtell you," went on the dress
maker. "She dresses to please her male
friends and relatives her husband or lover
more than anyone else. She knows that a
plain divided skirt and severe waist would
not suit them. They like her to look pretty,
although a woman's beauty does not depend
upon her costume, the way in which sne Is
dressed has a great deal to do with her pre
possessing appearance. When the dress re
formers have hit upon something that is
really prettier than the present style of
dress, we may expect to see It generally
adopted. In the meantime, I and other
dressmakers will find ourselves getting up
the same sort of garment for our customers
that we have hitherto."
Another dressmaker, on the Pittsburg
side, said that she had never been asked to
make one of the new-fangled dresses. She
had many customers among the belles of
the East End, and perhaps one-fourth of
them were cyclists or wanted to be such.
They had sometimes laughingly asked her
whether she could not make them a divided
skirt that would be convenient for riding
the wheel, but tho proposition had never be
come serloas.
"What do you think of the dress reform,
proposed by tho ladies at Chautauquat"
asked the reporter.
"Fudge," was the sententious and signifi
cant reply.
BLOCK STOKE TOO NOISY.
The Commissioners Want East Diamond
Street Paved with Asphalt.
County Commissioner Weir called at City
Hall yesterday afternoon to have an inter
view with Chief Bigelow relative to the pav
ing of Diamond street between Grant and
Boss streets, but Mr. Bigelow being out of
the city the meeting will havo to be post
poned until his return.
Tho County Commissioners have paved
Ross street with asphalt and desire Diamond
street paved with the same material. Ross
street was done at the county's expense, but
Diamond street will be paved by the city
and the" contract has already been awarded
for a block-stone pavement, although the
work has not yet commenced.
"Wo hope to persuade Mr. Bigelow to
change the contract to asphalt for Diamond
street," said Mr. Weir j-estcrday, "because
of tho noise made by the lulling of wagons
over tho olock-stone pavement. We paved
Ross street with asphalt so the noise would
not annoy the Criminal Court rooms, and the
same consideration demands that Diamond
street bo paved so that the Orphans' Court
and the Coroner's Court shall not be an
noyed. Asphalt will be much cleaner also
and will lessen tho annoyance from dust.
We believe Mr. Bigelow will grant us the
change."
FEBBY BOATS TO 8HABPSBTJBG.
Business Men Find Their Teams Greatly
Delayed by the Traction Lines.
Arthur Kirk, on behalf of several promin
ent business men is organizing a company
to run a line or lerry steamers from the
foot of Sixth street or the Monongahela
wharf to Sharpsburg. The idea is to carry
the teams of wholesale dealers and others
to Sharpsburg and thus save much time
otherwise lost by teamsters being compelled.
to continually pull out of the way of tho
cable cars. It now takes nearly a day's
time todiive to one ot the suburbs and re
turn whereas it could formerly be done in
half the time. This has greatly delayed
business of all kind and started the Idea of
utilizing the river.
Mr. Kirk spent yesterday discussing tho
subject with the river men and they seem to
.think the idea practicable. Among the,
business men interested in the proposed
ferry line are J. C. Jenkins, S. S. Marvin,
Dilworth Brothers, Heinz Brothers and
others, who are willing to guarantee $2,000
as a starter for a company who will go Into
the business.

The Southside Physician It Charged With.
Another Very Serious Offense.
Dr. J. W. Robertson, the Duquesne Heights
physician who figured so conspicuously be
fore tho publto recently with the wife of a
Diamond Market commission man, is again
to the front in a similar role.
Yesterday Miss Teresa Souder, a domestic
in the employ of S. Koustauzer, with whom
Robertson boards, filed a complaint with
Alderman Grlpp, charging the doctor with
assault. A warrant was issued for tho
physician and an officer sent oat to arrest
He found the physician's office crowded
with patients awaiting his arrival, but he
seemed to be so busy In some other part of
the city that he failed to put in an appear
ance. The girl, who is 20 years of age, says
that the doctor assaulted heron three former
occasions. At a late hour last night he had
not been arrested. .

A LIBERTY FESTIVAL.
Howtho Swiss IndependenceDay Will
Be Observed in Pittsburg.
THOUSANDS WILL PARTICIPATE.
Paraders Will Be Adorned in Ancient
Alpine Costumes.
A GIGANTIC PICNIC AT EOSS' GROVE
The Swiss Independence Day is to be ob
served in an enthusiastic manner in this city.
A meeting was held in Allegheny last night
by representatives of the various societies
that are to take part in the demonstration
for the purpose of making arrangements for
the day's festivities. It was organized by
the election of A Jenny as President; Ar
nold Schneider, Vice President; Julius Eos
hard, Secretary; Dagobert Deucher. Treas
urer. The other members of the committee
are Blaser Gottfried, Alex Scburch, Adolph
Luder, A. J. Simon, llobert Lenhart and
Chris Katheu.
The committee is composed entirely of the
descendants of those who COO years ago
signed the document that bound together
the three Swiss cantons, thus forming an
independent union of a beautiful and inter
esting rock-ribbed and mountainous conn
try. Allegheny county is full of these
people. It is estimated that 10,000 Swiss?
descendants are residents of this State.
And it is fully expected that fron 2,000 to
3,000 of them will be identified with the
coming demonstration.
August 1 is the day upon which the an
niversary of the signing of the Swiss
Declaration of Independence occurred, but
it is being observed generally throughout
the world during the whole of the present
month. The day fixed for the local demon
stration is August 31. The "Verein der
Soehne "NVinkelrieds," "Schweizer Maen
nerchor Helvetia," "Schweitzer Bund,"
and the "Section des Kbrd-Amerikanischen
Gruetlibunds," are the four leading so
cieties that will participate in celebrating
the day- that is so dear to all the descendants
of William Tell.
VISIONS PR03I THE ALPS.
Tho numbers will be greatly augmented by
representatives from almost every German
singing society, all the turn vereins and
benevolent associations In Allegheny
county, together witn other societies from
Johnstown, Wheeling, Braddock, McKees
port and other points in Western Pennsyl
vania, Eastern Ohio and West Virginia.
The programme has only been partially
arranged. This much has been decided
on: There will be a parade in the
morning over the principal streets of
Pltttsburg and Allegheny, many of the par
ticipants being decked with costumes such
as the original Swiss wore, not too oriirinal.
perhaps, but of a sufficiently modern time to
allow such a garb to be donned with dignity
and security. After the parade special
trains will convey the people out the West
Penn road to Ross' Grove. Here the festivi
ties proper will bo held. They
will consist principally of speeches
and sports. It will be a large sized picnic,
"a la Suisse," and the committee in chargo
has undertaken to make the day one that
will make glad the hearts of those who par
ticipate. Speeches will be made in German by Dago
bert Deucher, Rev. U. Hangartner, Mr. Max
Schamberg and others. Mayors Gourloy and
Wyman will be invited and probably one or
the other will deliver an English address.
Mr. Deucher, who is to deliver the principal
address of the day, is a full cousin of a
present member of the Swiss Bundesrath or
Executive Cabinet.
The sports will be the most interesting
and novel features of the day. They will
consist of Swiss wrestling, stone-lifting and
stone-throwing and shooting. The latter
pastime will be indulged in by the use of
crossbows similar to the one with which
William Tell is popularly supposed to have
poked a hole in Gessler's hat and other feats
of more or less difficulty in those days
before people bothered themselves about
natural gas bills or high and low tariffs, will
be introduced.
SPORTS OF TIIE DARK AGES.
Anything else that can be foupd by the
committeo bearing anything like tho im
print of the land of Glaciers will be ferreted
out and made a part of the day's progamme.
A number of the committee In speaking of
the demonstration last night said: "So peo
ple appreciate liberty like the American.
The Swis3 have a lasting reverence for the
day upon which the three small forest can
tons banded themselves into a league of per
petual alliance. It was no desire for
startling reform that lead those people
into the covenant. The Confederation was
formod simply for the purpose of checking
tne inroads 01 tneir opponents. Switzer
land is the oldest Republic, and many or her
descendants are among the most prominent
residents of Allegheny county. You will be
surprised at seeing so many participate in
the demonstration, "which will undoubtedly
be one of the most novel celebrations that
ever occurred In Allegheny county.

Sad Scene at the Morgue When Mrs. WU
son's Husband Arrived.
Mr. H. Y. Wilson, the husband of the lady
who dropped dead of sunstroke at the mar
ket house on Monday, arrived In the city
last night af tey several vexatious delays en
route from Vicksburg. He went direct to
the Morgue, and was deeply moved when he
gazed upon the dead form of his late part
ner in life.
Mr. Wilson Is a railroad engineer, and wa9
a resident of this city until a few years ago.
He mado arrangements to hnve the remains
shipped to Xowburg, O., a suburb of Cleve
land, where Mrs. Wilson's parents aro
buried, and where her body will be Interred.
The body will be taken away on the 1
o'clock train this afternoon, and will ho ac
companied by Mr. Wilson, his little son and
several other relatives).
A VERY NARROW ESCAPE.
The Flint Scale Settled by a Mere Scratch
It Required a Compromise to Beach an
Agreement Tlie 2few Company Beady
to Operate.
The conference between the pressed ware
manufacturers and the representatives of
the American Flint Glass Workers Union
narrowly escaped a termination similar to
that of the conferences on tho window
glass and green bottle scales of a
week ago. Two or three previous confor
ferences have been held and recesses wero
taken without arriving at'an amicable agree
ment. Tho workmen this vear had intro
duced a clause reducing tho time in which a
-move" snail De maue to lour ana one
half instead of five hours.
The manufacturers objected, on general
principles, because, about every other yKar
or so this same
clause had providea
for a reduction in
time until n turH
must now be made in
formerly reaulred six.
five hours, while it
xne directors or tho new
United States
Glass Company held a meeting yesterday
during the noon recess and unanimously de
cided that the Executive Committee should
not accept the proposition of the men to
make another reduction of half an hour. D.
C. Ripley was seen after this meet
ing, when he made the following
very significant statement: "Our company
has everything in readiness to begin opera
tions with the next fire, but I would not be
surprised not to see a factory start. We will
not operate if the men Insist upon the adop
tion of tho rour and one-half hour clause."
When tho conference committees met in
tho afternoon It looked very much as If tho
two sides would lock horns and fail to settle
the matter. The meeting lasted until after
6 o'clock.
"It's all settled," said Mr. Smith, smiling.
"Wo compromised on four and three and a
half hours, nnd you can say that the fac
tories will run."
President Smith left Inst nirfit for Phila
delphia, where a conference is to be held to
day. The otherincmbers of the Conference
Committee left for their respective homes.
The settlement of this dispute places tho
flint workers in a hotter position than either
the window or green bottle workers.
The new glass company which is to control
the tableware houses will soon establish
headquarters on the Southside. A new and
handsome four-story building is now in
the course of erection 011 tho property ad
joining President Ripley's office, and in it all
tho general officers of the company will have
their headquarters.
SECUBED THE THJTJNCTIOir.
Moorhcad Bro. & Co. Would Not Walt on,
Judge Stogie's Return.
Moorhead Bro. & Co. secured a preliminary
injunction yesterday to restrain their em
ployes Who are now on strike from interfer
ing with those at work. A hearing will bo
had Saturday before Judge Stowe. The
former employes of the firm ridicule tho
idea of an injunction, as they have not been
near the milt since the striko
occurred. Of the 66 puddlers on strike
there are only six or eight of them idle,
the remainder are working in the mill at
Bennett station or elsewhere. One of the
workmen mentioned In the bill has been
w orklng at the pork house millin Woods'
Run since the Sharpsburg mill has been
closed down and says he can piove he has
.not been in the neighborhood of the mill.
Tho citizensor Sharpsburg have been com
menting all along upon the quiet and gen
tlemanly manner In which the strikers have
conducted therasel es.
Another heating furnace was started in
the mill yesterday and it looks as if Mr.
Moorhcad would carry Into effect his threat
to operate his plant with non-union men.
President Weihe, of the Amalgamated Asso
ciation, was at Canonsburg yesterday set
tling a local dispute. Tho officials have,
therefore, had no time to act on the Sharps
burg matter.
"WILL TAKE THEM AWAY.
The Bricklayers of Philadelphia Beturn
Ing to the Quaker City.
President Wm. Campbell, of the BricKlay
ers' Association in Philadelphia, is in Pitts
burg for the purpose of taking home soma
of his members who are working in Pitts
burg. He and Agent O'Brien visited oil jobs
yosterday afternoon where men are at work,
and he expressed himself last night as feel
ing confident that ho would take all his
members away again, thus leaving the mas

were before the Eastern men came.
A statement was made yesterday that the
master bricklayers had endeavored to keep
Mr. Campbell from coming to Pittsburg.
None of them could be found last night to
affirm or deny the story. .

BIG EXCITESI0N BUSINESS.
The
Atlantic City Train on the B. & O.
This Morning Will Be Crowded.
This morning the Baltimore and Ohio will
carry the biggest excursion party of the
season to Atlantic City. Tho sweltering
weather of the past few days seems to havo
had a wonderful effect on the railroad busi
ness, and as a consequence, ticket sellers
have bad to hustle harder than is conducive
to comfort, but they seemed pleased now
that it is over.
Passenger Agent Smith says that to-day's
excursion will be the most successful the
road ever gave to Atlantic City. Xine par
lor cars were sold out, and it was found im
possible to secure more from the Pullman
Company in time to be of service. As a con
sequence those who failed to secure parlor
car privileges before yesterday noon t ill be
compelled to accent common coaches.
While a large number of Pittsburgers will
go, there will also be several parties from
surrounding cities.

PLACING THE BLAME.
The Coroner's Verdict in the Elba
Iron Works Accident.
CEDIINALCARELESSNE'SSCHARGED
The Eemoval of the Gny Ropes Caused the
Tall Smoke Stacks to Fall.
A MODEL OP THE BUILDING EXHIBITED
The inquest in the cases of Kartik Bal
cnt, Stephen Dobak and Andrew Zidik, the
three men killed by the falling of smoke
stacks and the collapse of a new iron build
ing at the Elba Iron Works July 29, was
concluded yesterday and the verdict created
a great surprise, involving, as it did, the
responsibility for the accident
Jlost of the testimony in this important
cose was taken on the day after the acci
dent, while a number of the wounded men
were yet unable to appear and testify. On
this account and the sickness of Coroner
McDowell the cose was continued nntil yes
terday. The testimony, a condensed report
of which is herewith published, is very
contradictory, showing that the employes
of both the Elba works and Biter &
Conley were not in touch when it came to
points placing the responsibility. The im
portance of the verdict, which charges the
Elba Company with gross carelessness and
neglect, is fully appreciated from the fact
that it opens the way for innumerable dam
age suits.
A MODEL SllOVrS IN EVIDENCE.
Messrs. Biter & Conley, in order to make
matters clear, produced a tin model of the
structure they had been erecting. It showed
how the building was erected and secured,
and the plates and fastenings, and that it
was substantial enough for all ordinarypur
poses. Among tho witnesses present yesterday
was Joseph P. Farrcll. Ho was a laborer at
the iron works. On the day of the accident
he said he knew something and wanted to
tell It. He said he had been told to get out
of town, but rerused to do so. lie also went
to the office of a newspaper and hud himself
interviewed. He wns subpoenaed at the in
quest at his own request, bus wheu
the time came he did not appear.
Tho Coroner issued a process for him
and he was arrested and brought in yester
day. When placed on the stand he immedi
ately proceeded to retract all he had said.
He said he knew nothing, and did not know
why he had talked as he had. He was closely
questioned, and it was made apparent that
he knew nothing. Coroner McDowell then
gave him a severe reprimand for talking too
much and sent him home.
John Saegcr, an engineer at the Elba Iron
Works, was placed on the stand. He did
not see the building fall. He noticed that
the fourth truss of the building was out of
plumb and leaned toward Second avenue.
The stacks were inside the trusses. He was
at nis engine when the crash came. He said
he saw some men at a line attached to the
truss pulling at it.
Philip Sntton, also an engineer at the Iron
works, testified to having seen a line put on
the truss. He heard the crash and ran out
of the building. The fourth truss had fallen
and caused the fourth stack to fall. It
brought the other stacks, and tho building,
he thought, fell before the stacks.
William Bros, a machinist at the iron
works, testified to having seen men pulling
on a girder, then the building and stacks
fell. He was afraid to go in the building the
day before as he had not thought It safe.
George Lemon said the farthest stuck fell
first and the others followed.
COULDN'T HAVE BEEN PUIAED.
Thomas Alen corroborated this testimony.
He also worked for Rlter & Conley. The
trusses could not have been pulled down,
he said.
William M. Simmons, abridge builder, also
testified that the stack fell first and caused
the building to fall.
William Meyers and Christ Rodcers. both
bridge builaers, also testified to the security 1
01 tne Dunning, ana inat tne accident was
caused by the stack.
- After some further testimony the inquest
closed, and the jury rendered Its verdict.
The j nry,af ter finding that themen came to
their deaths by the accidents, further found
"that tho said building falling was due to
said stacks not being supported by guy lines
properly and a jar causing them to fall upon
said building as they were top heavy, and
further find that there was gross negligence
on the part of said Elba Iron Works car em
ployees in not properly securing said stacks;
nnd we recommend more care and caution
on the part of all builders at such buildings
as are described in this accident, for the
safety of lives of tho public and employes."
