The Second Brigade of the Army of
Pennsylvania, Biigadicr General AVilcy in
command, which has been encamped for the
la-t few dav adjacent to the new town of
Kensington, a Miort distance from thi- city,
had a tevore encounter with' the enemy yes
terdav aftcrnoo-i.
The engagement lasted about an hour,
durii.g which the whole force was brought
into action The losses on the Pennsyl
vania side was v erv heavy, but the enemy
vra? finallv routed by a brilliant charge of
the cavalry undi r Opt un .Tones
Very mneh col it was gi en to the occasion
by the presence in camp of a goodlv coic
panv of fjir visitor, w ho, liiianticipatory of
a sanguinarv fight during the aftcrnoonjiad
jo.irncyeii down from t!ie citv to see their
friends at tl e front. The presence ol so
many bnrht eves and patriot.c hearts,
beating in smpath wit'i the rattle of
musketry and the roar of cannon, for the
-raloious defender- so bravely doing battle
for the Commonwealth, nerved the men to
greater deed- and tired them with 7eal to
do or die. And it w as wit Ji much weeping
and heartrending anguish that the fair
spectators saw man"- of the brave fellows
die. But not let it go down to history as a
sad and lamentable fact at the hands of the
enemy, but from the fire, unintentionally
directed, of their own comrades. Some
body blundered
Ql If ELY I-LACED UNDER AEMS.
TVhen information was received at head
quarters that the enemy was advancing in
iinrcc southward along the banks of the
the river, the brigade was quickly placed
underarms. The si regiments of infantry
were placed in brigade formation, while the
Sheridan troop of cavalry was sent out as a
skirmishing line. AVhile the cavalry was
reennnoiterms, the inf antrv was formed in
two line- of buttle front, the righ wing,
consisting of the Tenth, Fifteenth and
Eighteenth Ueginient-, nndcr Colonel
Hawkins, form ng the firs line, with left
flank resting on the tents, the left wing,
composed of the Fifth, hittcenth and Four
teenth, with Colonel llurehficld, forming
the second line, or resenc in the rear!
Battery T?, four guns, under Captain Uunt,
took up a position on he left flank of the
right -ving.
Presently the sounds of firing were heard
on the distance, northward from brigade
headquarters, denoting that the skirmishing
j-artv had come up with the advanced posts
of the uioir The ca airy used their car
bines with good ellect. but having accom
plished their nns-ion deploj ed on the right

simultaneously the batterv of held pieces

THE EIKE BRISKLY ltlTTt'RS'ED.
The enemv returned the fir- with inter
est, and so bri-kh, despite the heavy guns,
xliat the advance of the right wing was
checked The left wing was then brought
tip and went into action, advancing in a
ttcadv line across the prostrate men of the
first line, who lay down to allow them to
pass The small" park of artillery still
blared awa,and as the reserve came up,
limbered up' and took up a fresh position in
front.
The left wing advanced in good order,
kneeling and firing, succeeded at length in
repulsing the inuiiv which wavered, and
then broke under a gallant charge with
levelled bayonets, by the gallant left wing.
Just when thevictorv had been so dearly
secured, occurred the sad mistake mentioned
above. The inttcrv of heavy guns did not
cease firing wlien the" left wing
advanced at the charge, and the result was
that the line of cheering blue-coats,
rushing on to victory was enfiladed bv the
raking fire from the artillerv with much loss
of life. That is what would have happened
had the ammunition held ball in front of
Ihe powder.
hen the enemv had been thus routed,
the right and let i w ing of the attack dc
jilovd to the right and rested on the hollow
under the rising ground near the railroad.
The left wing having passed the right in the
attack, the position of the troops was in
trrleil, and in this order weie formed up
in compai y froi,t.
A MIsTAKL IV THE I OHMATIOX.
It was then discovered that a mistake had
been made 111 the the formation, and ina
ncuv ers oecupv ing some little time were
nece-sinr to g't the mt regiments into
proj er position This at length accom
plished, tin brigade was formed into col
umns of companies The necessity for re
forming the line gavt the brigade baud and
regimental bai.d a nice of about a mile. They
had mustered on the right, and whtn it was
found thev were not in position they were
ordered to double back to the lelt, a pro
ceeding which took much efficiency and a
good deal ot w ind out of the German musi
cians of the brigade band
AVhile this w.,s being done Battery B
-went through a sens ot evolutions, finally
taking tip a position in rear ot the column.
The heriilau tioop gave an exhibition of
ikirmibhing elnll immediately after the
Jight. Thev advanced firing on an imagin
ary cnomv from the right ot the camp, and
then charged the length of the parade
ground. The infantry drew up in the hol
low, che-TPd vociferously at the troop,
whecli-a and returned.
Formed in column in the center of the
ground and headed by the bands, massed,
the brigade pv-sed in review before the
brigade commander, anel some 2,(100 people
who lined the rising ground along the rail
road The column advanced to the south,
wheeled into the hollow and marched to
brigade headquarters and thence to positions
opposite each quarters, jsomc of the regi

IN A RECEIVER'S HANDS.
New Move of the Mamlard Plato Glass
Company Brought on by the Failure
of AV. K. Schmertz, TVho AVas Treasurer
of tlio Concern.
The'"Standard Tlate Glass Company, of
Butler, of which AAr. E. Schmertz, of this
city, was Treasurer, is in the hands of a
receiver. It was saiel that this condition of
affairs has been brought about by Mr.
Schmertr's failure. The receiver, D. E.
Wheelor, has been the manager ot the com
pany lor some time, and is thoroughly ac
quainted with the nflnir. of the concern,
and enjoys the confidence of the stockhold
ers and creditors.
A call veils made at Jlr. Pchmertz's resi
dence last night In regard to the matter, hut
Mr. Sclimert? is still to 111 to be seen or to
have am thine to snv in regard to his busi
ness affairs lli assignee, K. jr. Quimliv-.how-over,
stated that tliorepoit from i!i.tlcr was
correct, and that a receiver had charge of
the Standard Company's plant, upon which
extensive impiovements have been made,
making this one of the finest and most com
plete plants in the plate glass trade
Jlr f-chmcrtr was treasurer of the com
pany, and became pcison.illy responsible
for large sums of money which it was
necessarj to borrow in order to make the
improvements which were required to place
the-institution on its pieent monev mak
ing basi. Jlr. Schmertz's failure Just at
this time necessarily involved the glass
coiiipanj anel brought about this temporary
enibirrassment, consequently a receiver
was appointed to protect the creditors and
enable the company to recover itselt with
out serious loss.
Mr. Quimby said the plant would be con
tinued in operation without interruption,
and that arrangements would be made foi
Hie issuance of additional capital stock, the
net earnings Justffv ing such a step, and the
stockholders being perfectly satisfied with
the same.
James A. Chambers is President of the
company and II. Sellers McKeo Vice Presi
dent. Neither of these gentlemen could be
seen last evening by a Dispatch representa
tive, who called in quest of further informa
tion, Mr. Chambers sending down word that
he was seriously indisposed and unnble to
talk in regard to the matter.
Two moie executions were issued against
Jlr Schmertz j esterdny, one by William F.
Morgan & Co. lor$20,853 07 andono by Charles
AV. Lee for $3 017 CO.
There was u rumor afloat yesterday that a
number of Jlr. Schmerti-'s Kastcin creditors
weie dissatisfied with the maimer in which
they were benifr discriminated against, they
alleging that Jlr. bchmertz had confessed
Tudgments to his friends and members of his
iamny lor tuo purpose ot defrauding
them of their claims. It was said
that three of these creditors had
retained Attorney AV. S. Pier. and
empowered him to flle a bill in equity in
their behalf against Jlr. Schmertz anil others
in whose favor judgments have been con
fesscel. A call was made on Jlr. Pier yester
day afternoon, for the purpose of learning
the scope of the bill in equity w Inch he was
said to be preparing. Jlr. Pier, though
affable, was not communicative, merely say
ing that he could not make a statement as it
misht be dctiimcntal to his clients. Jlr.
'iiniby. when asked about the matter, said
that he had not heard ot it, and had nothing
tosiy. as he did not believe any such steps
had been taken.

AFTER OT PLATE MEN.
Mr. Nicdringhaus Sends Representa

BEING WELSH "WORKMEN OVER
An Old Boiler Fays lie Can Easily Make Up
a Dozen Crews Ilcre.
NOT NECESSARY TO BEING OTHERS
The controversy over the proposed impor
tation of foreign tin plate workers continues,
and now that ex-Congressman Niedringhaus
has sent his manager, Mr. Lewis, and his two
sons to Europe, presumably for the pur
pose of engaging '"dippers," the officials
of the labor organizations opposed to this
kind of a proceeding have been greatly
stirred up.
Said Assistant President Garland, of the
Amalgamated Association, yesterday: "AVe
can now furnish Jlr. Niedringhaus with the
names of more men than he will need to
operate every department of his plant, but
certainly the3- will not work for him so long
as his firm operates a non-union milL Let
the St. Louis Stamping Company sign our
scale and we will senel him our list from
which to make his selection."
A. P. Bollins was met last night by U
Dispatch reporter. He said he could pick
up enough men to lun a dosen tin plate
plants by the Jlmewood process, which is
the latest patent. Continuing, Mr. Rol
lins said: "Mr. Niedringhaus claims the
old AATelsh workers have been here so long
that they have forgotten how to operate the
Morcwood process, but he an get all the
men he wants if he will pay the money.
THE WAGES THAT ARE WASTED.
"Good men will not work for him until
they get the proper wages. AVe call that 100
per cent more than is paid in Great Britain.
Jlr. Niedringhaus can make up his mind that
he is not dealing with Huns. He can go to
Great Britain If he wants to and mako all
the contracts he chooses for workmen, but
he will find that as soon as they come hero
aud learn the value of their labor they will
not go to work. Even his manager, Jlr.
Lewi, while in Pittsburg about a week aeo,
failed to entice tin plate rollers who have
been in the country hut two weeks until ho
would sign the scale."'
Commenting on the position taken on this
mutter bv- Jfi. Niedringhaus, this week's
American Manufacturer will say that the ex
Congressman cannot successfully claim that
the manufacture of Nos. 24 to 30 sheet iron
and the pickling and cold rolling of tho
same is a new industry. This is Just what
the Amalgamated ofllcinls hayo been claim
ing riEht along. They would have nothing
to say if men were needed for a newly estab
lished industry for which men could not be
found in America. But they claim that tin
plate rollers are no more or less thnn fine
sheet iron rollers, and that the other
branches of the trade can easily bo supplied
with practical men who have not been here
long enough to forget the business.
As Jlr. Niedringhaus is said to have sent
for "elippers" and other men who work at
washing and tinning, because ho claimed it
wasnecessary to have skilled workmen for
these depaitments, the following simnle
explanation of the process, made by a work
man, is given:
HOW TO MAKE TIN TLATES.
"The crude Iron or black plates measure 20
by 14 inches and 23 bj- 20 inches and are
transformed as follows- The iron plate is
first placed in pickle in a bath of strong sul
phuno acid heated by steam; that is to le
move all impurities from tho iron Then it
is placed in soak in n vat of plain water
to wash the sulphuric acid on. Then a
hard rubbing of sand makes tho surface
smooth and stiong and tho plato is as
sorted according to quality. Another
bath of cold water iiirther cleanses
It and still another doucho of puro
watenenders It lit for the tin man. The
tinner takes the pickled plato and places it
in a bath of pulm oil, where it remains for
several minutes, and then transfers it to
another tank, in w Inch Is a preparation of
tin oi;terne Ian alloy of lead and tin,) After
it has been completely soaked in this solu
tion, another bath of different grade of alloy
receives it, and then it passes oyer to the
washnian, who washes itearefully in boiling
oil and places it upon a table
'Each plate is then taken separately with
a pair ot tongs and dipped into a stronger
mixture of tin or terne. The wnsliman with
a brush maele ot hemp thoroughly spreads
the metal over tho whole surface of the
sheet, and it is then giv en its final bath of
cieasoand placed on a rack to diy. When
ready the cleaner takes the plate and puts it
in a box of sawdust, where it is quickly
rubbed and again a rubbing of brand js
given, : fter which ft is placed upon a table
and smartly rubbed with sheepskin until it
becomes a bright and shining tin plate fit for
the best roof m thocountrj. After being
sorted into "perfects' nnd "wasters' the plates
are stamped according to quality and
packed m boxes ot 56 of the lnrgerand 112 of
the smaller size, duly branded and ready for
shipment."
claims nE can't he toiled.
While appearing to feel a little uneasy
over the stand taken in this matter by the
Amilgamatcd Association. Jlr. Niedring
haus is quoted as saj ing that he thinks the
attempts to foil him m his purpose nmount
to simply nothing It has been know n for
six months that ho was erecting a large tin
plate mill, and he ars no one applied for
w ork, and he thinks if thero w eie any in ttie
country they would have applieel lor a job.
In a recent fiiterv iew, when asked if ho Ind
signcel a contract to biing men here, Mr.
Niedringhaus said "We have built those
mills to run them, an'd we propose to run
them, no matter where the labor comes
from. Is it not snflicient that we pay double
the wages paid m England to bung all the
workmen hei e w e w ant ? You can s ly what
you please, labor will go v here best paid,
and we pay the best wages here."
John Ho'wells, a Welshman, who was for
merly cmplojcd bv Jlr. Niedringhaus as
neu'i roller, was a practical tin plate worker.
He confirms the statement made by Amalga
mated officials that there are plenty of tin
plate woikers in this conn try. I
"You don't hear any kicks coming from I
tho union mills," said he. "Now, about im-
porting tin plato workers. It is ensier i
tnll. oil ili,,fr flinn rlnnn Tim ii-l ,a ,, I
the other side are in constant communica
tion with those on this Thev are all mem
bers of the union. Thev know nbout the
status of affairs at the Niedringhaus mills,
almost as v ell as he knows it himself, and if
he thinks ho will get men ns ewisy as he says
he can, he is mistaken. They may come
and woik in union mills, but they will nevei
come and work in Jlr. Niedringhaus' non
union mill. Jlr. Weihe's stand is a good one
and ov ery member ot the association ought
to brtelc him in opposing the Importation of
contract labor.
THE WAY AVEI.SIIJIEN SIZE IT UP.
"If jou could read some thtnes our AVelsh
papers say about tho Little Tin God you
would be quickly convinced that whatever
else they may be on the other side, they aro
not ignorant of the fact that it takes skilled
men to make tin plato. They also know all
about the wav we got anped by Jlr. Nied
ringhaus and the Tin Plate Association when
thej- got us to send a committee to Wash
ington to ask Tor a tniiffon tin plate, so that
tho Ways and Jleans Comraittco w ould think
the workmen wanted the tariff. That makes
them afraid of being duped m the same wav
by Jlr. Ncidringhaus it they came over to
work for hlin '
The total shipments of tin plate to the
United states from Great Britain in the first
halt of tho present jear were 308206 tons.
In 1882 the total shipments for the whole
year were but 2.15,000 tons. This enormous
increase this vcarmaybe explained by the
fact that Jlr. Niedringhaus and other manu
factuiers secured large shipments early in
the j car, previous to July 2, to avoid paying
tho incicused duty.

NO FATTED CALF FOR HIM.
Being Turned Away From Home, After a
Long Absence, A Young Man Asks to
Be Locked Up lie Declares Ho Is a
Forger.
JTnspector McAleese received a surprise
last night shortly before 12 o'clock, when a
pretty well dressed young fellow, aver 6
feet tall and of intelligent appearance,
walked into Central station and coolly said
he was a forger and wanted to be arrested.
The Inspector was at first inclined to think
the young fellow was cither drunk or in
sane, but after talking to him for awhile
became convinced that he had really com
mitted the crimes he charged himself with.
When the young man first entered the
station he wanted to know If the police had
any clue to John Ilervey, tho foiger. When
informed that they had not tho young man
said ho was tho man and was ready to give
hfmsott up.
The polico had no Information that sue
inch a
ulMk
m
person was wanted on mat cnargo, uu.
specror juo-vjeoso iuikuu lo nervey
gradually drew his story from him, wail
HUUSIHILIUIUV US HW1UW3 j
John Ilervey is the son of Jnmes Ilerver,
of Turtle Creek, where the father lives in
tho ease that comes after a life of prosper
ity. Young John, about two years ago, w ent
to Homostcad ann secured employment in
the steel works, but that kind of work did
not suit him and ho returnod to his father,
aftoran absence of three months.
A short time elapsed when ho determined
to go to Chicago nnd embark in business.
When he broached tho subject to his father
and demanded a couple of thousand dollars
foi a start, tho old gentleman informed him
that ho must wait until he became of ago,
the son then beuifi only a little over 20 years
old. His fathers advice did not satisfy him,
and he decided to go out and laiso the
money in another way.
Accordingly he went aiound among a
number of his fathei's friends and borrowed
money on piomlssory notes to w hlch ho had
foiged his father's name. From one lady he
thus proonred $2"i0, and from thiceorfour
other parties ho got $100 each. Then he bor
row ed several hundi d dollars moro in loans
of from $2 to $50
With this money he went West, but being
an inexperienced lad soon fell a v ictim, and
w omen and wine soon got away with all his
money. Ho had a hard time of it in Chicago
for awhile and then drifted further AN eat,
and has been knocking about all ov er the
country ever since.
About two weeks ago ho decided to come
back home He arrived homo on Sunday
at midnight nnd found that the folks
had moved to Tin tie Cieek. He walked to
tho new house and lav dow n on the front
porch. In tho morning, w hen tho faintly
came elownstalrs, they found him there, but
his sisters gave him to understand that bis
parents did not want him at homo and that
they would rather know that he was safely
locked up in the penitentiary, wheio he
con hi cause no more troume.
"I wanted to see my dearold mother awful
bad," said the j oung fellow in conclusion,
"but w hat they said broke my heart aud I
started away without seeing her or father.
I have carefully deliberated what I should
do and have decidod that tho best thing I
can do is to give myself up and they can
punish me as they please."
After listening to this peculiar story In
spector JIcAlceso ordered the j oung man
locked up and this morning will investigate
his statements. The Inspector sajs that
whilo ho has no doubt that Ilervey is guilty,
as he says, it is not likely that his parents
w ish to prosecute him, and if that is the
case he will be released to-day. Jlervey
says he is 22 years of age and is G feet 2
inches tall. He is evidently a young man
who has had a good home, and his manners
ate polite and respectful.

BORED 0VE1U BRIDGE.
H. W. Oliver Has a Tussle With an
Allegheny Council Committee.
TWO MEN ARE MISSING FEOM-HOME
A Woman Wants the City to Pay for Her
Burned Up Property.
SOME SNAP SHOTS AT (JITT MATTERS
The Allegheny Committee on Public
AVorks met last night. AVilliam Kennedy
was in the chair. The first business was the
consideration of bids, and those for the im
provement of the roadway on Monument
Hill were taken up. Carson & Orr had a
hid for ?2,617 41, without curbing, while F.
Gwinner bid 3,1G9 11, with curbing. There
being an irregularity in one bid, it was de
cided to rcadxertise.
There was only one bid for the remodeling
of City Hall, submitted by Joseph Anglin,
for 513,807. The matter was laid over.
The Sehefller Bridge Company was the
lowest bidder for the Herr's Island bridge,
the amount asked being 11,040.
H. AV. Oliver, President of the Pittsburg
and AArestcrn Railroad, was given a hearing
on this subject. Mr. Oliver said it would
be a careless, criminal action on the
part of Allegheny Councils to build
such a bridge as proposed at Herr's
Island. To the speaker's own knowl
edge the same kind of a bridge has
been washed away at least three times in
13 years. To baild such a bridge would be
a waste of money. The railroad crossings
at that point, the speaker said, were the
most dangerous in the two cities, and there
should be an overhead viaduct from Ohio
street to the island, and each of the three
parties interested should pay its share fairly.
MB. OLIA-ER'S SUGGESTIONS.
Mr. Oliver thought that if the city would
appiopriate about 530,000 for the bridge,
the other corporations w ould construct a
viaduct In a manner to suit everybody. He
suggested that a meeting of those interested
could be held to-day and definite plans
made.
Emil AVinters said it was siT months sinco
tho old bridge w as swept aw av and the rail
road companies could be gotten to do noth
ing in tho matter. The temporary struc
tuie was such that it would not last long.
The new bildge pioposed by Mr. Oliver
could not be built in less than six or nine
months; meanwhile what were thepeoplo
living on tho Island to do? Jlr. Winters
said that the bridge bid for was to be two
feet higher than the old ono and if it was
swept away within the next ten years he
w ould give a bond to replace it free of
chargo to the citj
Mr. Hippoyiemarked that both tho AA'est
Penn anel Plttsburs and AVestern loads had
been guilty of stealing streets in that neigh
borhood, anel now the railioads wanted the
city to build them a bridge so as to protect
them.
Jlr. Oliver snld the companies did not pro
pose to pay a lot of dnmages. but would sub
mit a plan that would bo so satisfactory that
no damages w ould be asked foi .
MATTERS BRIDGED OVER.
It was agreed that it would do no harm to
recommend tho contract to the Sehefller
Bridge AVorks, and the ordinance held back
to see if other arrangements could be made.
This was done. The contract for the masonry
work on the bridge was awarded to F.
Gwinner for ?1 OfiO.
The follow Ing papors wore affirmatively
returned to Councils: Changing the name of
C. street to St. Jlark's place and Gcyer alley
to Lee street, ginding and paving Fillers
alley.
An orelmance fixing the salaries of em
ployes of the Department of Public AVorks
was laid on the table. An ordinance for the
purchase of tno property of the heirs of
August Bmgdorf fer$ll,000 was negatively
returned to Councils. The action of the com
mittee in appointing a separate committee
to ouen bids w as lesclndeel, and the bids will
horeatter be opened by the lcgular sub-ccm-mittcc.
HISSING FE0M HIS HOME.

NOT ENOUGH WATEB.
The Basis of Margarot Colter's Claim
Against the City.

neys office jestei day nnd entereela verbal
claim lor damages against the city for the
dostiiiction by fire of her houso and its con
tents, on Stockholm street, near Twenty

of her claim was nu ins-ifllcient water sup.
ply. She sutd tho fliemen wero on the

Assistant City Attorney House listened, to
the complaint anel promised to consult
Chief Attorney Jlorcland concerning the
matter, but it is not likely any damages will
be allowed, as a similar case was dismissed
by the Finance Committee after long con
sideration, at its last meeting.

CONQUERED BY LOVE.
Josef Mnscowski Claims a Bride After
a Two Years' Battle ".Yitli
A HARD-HEARTED POLISH FATHER.
He Showed His Noble Nature During the
Great Coke Strike.
NOW OFF ON A GAT WEDDING J0UKNEY.
A poor man mar not always be able to
buy a wife, but that he is sometimes able to
swing fortune in the right direction by the
power of money was illustrated by a bride
and groom who passed through the city last
evening.
It did not require any great foresight to
see that Mr. and Mrs. Josef Muscowski had
not been married over 24 hours. It is one
of the customs of the Polish people to keep
the bride bedecked with blossoms and none
were missiugfrom the crown of Mrs. Mus
cowski, unless they were ruthlessly torn
aside by the playful breezes as the train
rattled along between Scottdale and this
city. She was attended by a bridemaid
her sister, by the way who, in the light of
beanty, would cast her more fortunate sis
ter in a v ery elark shade. I5ut that had to
pas, as the elder sister had captured a very
dignified husband.
It is one of the rules of Polish etiquette
that the bride and her maid must not sep
arate for a full w eek, and the party was on
the way from their home near Scottdale to
spend the week's probation with friends.
They arrived from Everson, where they
were married, early in the evening, and
were to have taken a train at 0:13. Put an
unfortunate thirst seized the entire party
at the wrong moment, and while they sat in
a neighboring saloon and quaffed the de
licious beer, the train pulled out and left
the bridal party behind, compelling them
to wait until 9:30 for a train.
A LITTLE POLISH EOJIAXCE.
The love tale of Mr. and Mrs.Muscowski did
not run smooth, probably because it was
truo love. All their lives they were asso
ciated together and had grown to love each
other. That was in tho old country and
Jlrs. Jluscowski was Miss Stcnslloski. But
tho latter's father did not take kindly to the
joung lover and forbado him to see her let
alone marrv his sweetheart. That might
have been becinse Josef was poor or there
might have been other reasons, but that
mattered not. But fortuno did not always
smile kindly upon the designing Papa Stcn
siloskl, and about two years ago he found
himeelf with less cash in his strong box
than he liked, so he decided to come to
America and nick a few gold dollars off a
juniper bnsh or some other equally product
ive plant, so nc urougnt tne two uaugniers
and the mother nnd sailed away leaving
the disconsolate Josef, all but his heart and
that the sweetheart bad, at home with but
little to do but think of the bride he had lost
But after a while he got a letter from his
little girl, and was overjoyed to know that
she still thonght of him in her far-away
home in the land of milk and honey. So he
dccieled that he too would try his fortunes
In the new world, and about six months
later Jlr. Stensiloski was somewhat sur
prised and not nt all pleased to sec his
daughter's lover standing nt his door, with
the afore mentioned daughter clasped in a
loving embrace He had serious eibjections
to any such performance, bnt tho stalwnrt
Josef seemed to be rather enjoying the situ
ation. ALL PLANS WERE BROKEN.
Though the old gentleman objected and
scolded and did everything else but choke
his daughter's lover, they continued to love
Just as strong ns ever, and after a few
months hael passed Josef decided ho had
saved enough American eagles to set him
self up in lite if he only had a partner. The
partner agreed, and the latter part of
last Jlaj' was fixed upon as the proper time,
but Papa Stensiloski didn't know anything
about it.
AVhen Josef came to this country he im
mediately went to tho coke region, where
his sweetheart lived -witu'lier fatherland be
gan work us a coke worker at the sumo
w orks as his proposed father-in-law. Every
thing was moving nicely until the great coke
stril.u came on, and when JIarch arrived
neither was vv orking, so Josef had to tell his
little girl that the w edding day must be post
poned, lie still had a little money, but like
a truo philosopher, ho refused to tactile life
for tw o w ith no work and poor prospects.
Soon he fonnel Jlr. stensiloski running short
in his accounts, and suddenly his sweethenrt
seemed to find gold in most unconceivable
places. In fact, she was a fairy godmother
lor her own father. At last the old gentle
man found out where tho cash was coming
from. Altera stern rebuke to the young man
for being so free with his monoy, necessarj
fornman whois tokccpawifejiofound that
ho no longer had any objections to such a
noble fellow for a son-in-law.
That was a good while ago, but all decided
that it was best to wait until they could re
p lir their little fortunes after the strike
closed. So they waited and wished for tho
day which was to mako their happiness
complete, and that dav came yesterday in
Hugus & Hacke.
