BRASSWORKERS IX ANNUAL SESSION.
The Qofftion of Affiliation With TheH'ederation To
lie Considered.
Yesterday 'was the beginning of an excit
ing season with the Carpenters' Brother
hood. Since its defeat on the eight-hour
question, so little has been said publicly
about the organization that manytpeople
had almost come to the conclusion that it
wa1- about an unknown quantity. The most
recent developments have provemthat it is
still "in it," and within the next ixeo weeks
it will doubtless prove that itsifruitles
(truggle for shorter hours did not weaken
its fighting qualities. .
The members have had several internal
grievances since the strike was settled,
which they wanted settled, and the only
man who could give them relief was"WT. H.
Kliver, the National President of the
"Brotherhood. The day following the;Steu-
bnville labor demonstration The"Dis-
PATCH announced that Mr. Klher wouldj
come to Pittsburg to investigate the causes
of the defeat here. This announcement
was jrood news to the local members of the,J
Brotherhood, and they immediately set toil
work to collect their evidence to show him
when he arrived, that the Brotherhood had
not been treated airly.
rRrSIIE!JT EXIVKR IV THE CITY.
c Mr Khver arrived in the city yesterday
morning He was immediately taken in
tow by the members and no one else got a
chance to see him all day. He attended a
meeting of the Carpenters Council last
night, where the sensatioml developments
liegan. Mr Khver was surprised to find,
the district in such a well organ-
ized condition. He expected, from
the reports he had received,
to find many of the local union disrupted
entirely and all the ret on the erge of dis-landmtnt-
And his chief purpose of
coming to Pittsburg was to isit every local
union, which he will do, for the purpose of
iiuading them of any intention they may
have ot leawng the Brotherhood.
At the meenng last night Mr. Kliver was
ebown concluMvelj that the men are in a
msntUfied tate of niind Thev claim that
thev did not have the support they desired
in the recent strike or they could have
cimc out with flying colors. They
lay 'he principal bl.uae on Secretary Mc
fTUire, w ho, U is claimed, promised repeat
edly to come to Pittsburg with financial aid
andpne his personal attention to the Pitts
burg strike. Of course, everybody knows
lha he did not do this and his failure to
come i what has caused the present trouble.
HOW A STAMPED!'. tAS PKEVEKTED.
The nlv thin? that has prevented a reg
ular stampede toward the-Knight of Labor
was the interposition of Master AVorkman
Derapsev himelf, who told the carpenters
when they wanted to go in the
Knpht that thev rjuit-t square
themselves with the Brotheniood
brinre lie would take them. Tney refused
t ln this. Thev said they had paid the
Brotherhood all the would pay it, and re
f ased to accept Mr l)empe's ery honor
able terms Honorable because about 200
earpenlTs lett the Kniglits and went into
xUe Brotherhood without squaring them
selves The local members told President Kliver
n the meetinc lat night that they could
ealy establish their charges agains- Mr.
M.Hire. and thev are glad he is here to
listen to their cave. During the
i?xt tvo weeks he will viit
v-rr local in the two cities.
He mav remain loug enough to visit all the
friion in the district. When seen by a
Dixpvxtli reporter last night, Mr. Kher
reaffirmed lit former statement made
to the samt reporter in Steuben
iile, that the Pittsburg strike was
mot lepalired b the Executive committee
and lie had a very Mid recollection of the
protest sent in bv Union No 2..0. But
thjt is no reason iy the local unions
should forsake the brotherhood H" feels
wire he can induce the men to stay with his
organization
MA V TEMPOKAIfY DEFEAT.
"The defeat here was only of a tempo
isrv charade- aniwai," said" he "Eight
hoars must and w ill co t e. We w ork eight
hours in Chicago, and we make more
money, more men are employed,
and we get more iet than when
we worked nine aid ten hours.
The ejcrht-hour liv must come in
littrf)nrg n enterprising city like this
annnt afiord to retrograde, and" when the
ight-hour lav docs come the men can enjoy
it jut is well in the brotherhood as in the
the knights "
Rcanlnig the trcible between the local
Swntber and Sccretarv McGuire, Mr.
Kliver would not sav am thing "That is a
matter between Mr McGuire and the men,
erd I guess he is able to fight it out him
self. I have all I can do to fight mv own
hfit'1s "
The mcting last night lasted until nearly
wduigln. but none ol those present seemed
inclined t sax much The next few days
will develop an interesting state of affairs.

paid all the way from $2 to $1 a day. Tho

BIG DEMAND FOE LEATHER.
Dealers Say They Can Scarcely Supply the
Demand.
There is nothing like leather, they say,
and the people of the West at present seem
to think so. One of the leading tanners of
this city said yesterday that it was scarcely
possible to supply the occidental demand.
He said he didn't know or pretend to assign
a reason, but he had noticed in the past that
a large demand for leather w as premonitory
of brisk business, and much more reliable
than w eather predictions, even when the
Government bureau and the prophets
agreed in their forecasts
The public will be willing to accept the
result, whether it is able to rind the solution
or not.
WILL BUILD WHALEBACKS.
'Tacoma to Get Ahead of Pittsburg With the
First of Them.
The whaleback ship 'Wetmoro, which re
turned to New York from Liverpool the
other da , is loading with all the machinery
necessary to establish a shipyard for the
construction of wbalebacks at Tacoma, on
Puget sound. She goes all the way by w ater
around Cape Horn, and the prospect is that
Tacoma will be turning out this new cratt
before even a yard has been established in
this city.
Just w hv this should be so no one aDnears
'to be able to explain, but there should be an
explanation constructed at once.
INTO OTHER QUARTERS.
The American Tube and Iron Company
Gets Into Ncn Offices.
The offices of the American Tube and Iron
Company have been removed from 167 First
avenue to the Monongahela House Block,

tbo Vesuvius mill. Two furnaces were
lighted up j esterday and this is taken as an
indication that the mill is to be started in
full very shortly
Theie was no excitement in Sharpsburg
yesterdaj , but the impression is growing
that the men are whipped and the sooner
they giv e in tho better it will be for them.

Many
NOTEWORTIIT EVENTS IN THE CITIES
A special meeting of the Allegheny-Coun-cilmanic
Committee on Public Safety was
called last evening by Chairman Drum to
investigate the affairs in the fire depart
ment. The committee convened promptly
at 8 o'clock, and from the number present-
and the interest taken by the spectators a
lively time was looked for. The meeting,
however, lasted but a short time, and every
thing passed off harmoniously.
Chairman Drum said that the day before
a member of Councils, who is also a mem
ber of the Board of Underwriters,had called
on him and informed him that the fire alarm
was in bad condition, the upper end of the
town was cut on", and there w as no one heie
to remedy the matter. The Fire Marshal
was brought o er and a man from Pittsburg
obtained to fix things. Tho man who had
come over with the Fire Marshal was pres
ent, and he wanted the committee to hear
him. He had asked the Fire Marshal to
come, but he was detained by illness. He
thought the committee should Know all
about the affair.
At this junction several members moved
to refer the mattei to the Committee on Fire.
Mr. Drum continued that he would say in
justice to Chief Jones that the Board of
Underw riters had held no meeting, and if
they did they were notafter any one's scale
but were onlv looking after the best inter
ests of the property holders The statement
published in an afternoon paper was unjust
co Dotn tne lioara ot underwriters and tno
gentleman mentioned. The entire state
ment, he believed, w as inspired by a gentle
man in the employ of the city. The matter,
howevci, should not be whitewashed, but
fully inv estigated and the person at fault
severely dealt w ith, no matter who he was.
The question was called on the motion to
refer to the Committee on Fire and it was
adopted without a dissenting voice. The
meeting then adjourned.
Aftci the committee had adjourned Clerk
Dil worth called Ml. Drum's attention to tho
ordinance ci eating the Bureau of Electric
ity, which made it a distinct and separate
department fiom the Bureau of Fire, of
which Chief Jones is the head, and be is
therefore not responsible for anything that
goes wiong in the electrical department.

A TRAP FOR fflS WIFE.
Alex. Hanken Allows Bis Better Half
to Snend Three Weeks
AT CONEY ISLAND "WITHOUT HIM.
She Takes an Old Friend's Name, With Her
Husband's Sanction, and
HE SUES POR ABSOLUTE DIT0ECE
The suit of Alexander Henken against
Emma F. Henken for absolute divorce was
on trial yesterday before Judge Osborne in
the City Court in Brooklyn. Mrs. Henken is
a sister of Emil Haberkorn, the leader of the
Duquesne Theater Orchestra. There was no
defence entered in the case. Mrs. Henken is
now living with her brother in this city.
When seen last night by a Dispatch re
porter she said she was prepared to suffer
any aspersions that might be cast on her
good name if the proceedings in court would
only free her from her husband.
She said that he was guilty of conduct
which made it Impossible for her to live
any longer with him, and that when the
papers in divorce were served upon her she
accepted them on the understanding that no
publication of the proceedings would be
made. Though grave charges are made
against Mrs. Henken, that ladv entered no
defense, though, as she stated last night,
she could have easily disproved the allega
tions of unfaithfulness set forth in the case.
STOEY OP THE HUSBAND.
The testimony presented in court yester
day by the husband, went to show that his
wife and Edward Parker, a singer, had
lived together at the Sea Beach Pavilion
hotel. Coney Island, for three weeks in July,
last. The plaintiff testified that he went to
J ew Jersey in July, but his wife did not ac
compmy him, piefernng to go to Coney
Island.
He went unexpectedly to Coney Island on
July 22, and found her liv ing with Parker,
whose real name is Pakulski. Parker and
the defendant had registeied at the hotel as
man and wife. He had known Parker for
three years, but was not aware of any pre
vious intimacy between him and his wife.
Judge Osborne reserved his decision, but
the deciee will probably be granted. Such
is the substance of a special telegram to The
Dispatch last night.
Mrs. Henken 1 elated her side of the story
very fully to a Dispatch reporter last night
iu the presence of her brother, Emil Haber
korn. "My reason for not contesting the suit,"
she said, "was because I was anxions to free
mj self trom my husband, and I did not want
to make a scandal by placing obstacles
in the -waf of a decree. When I re
ceived the papers from Mr. Henken's
lawyer, that gentleman promised mo faith
fully that no publication of tho matter
would occur. With that promise I was con
tent to allow the suit to be decided without
entering a defense. I had but the one view
in mind that was that the divorce would
be granted, since I did not appear."
THK WIFE'S MISTAKEN IDEA.
Mrs. Henken seemed to be totally unaware
of the false position she would place herself
in by not meeting her husband's charges.
During the conversation she appeared to
have viewed the proceedings ai rather to
her adv anlagc, since she would be divorced
w ithont trouble to herself.
"I repeatedly urged on my sister," said
Sir. Haberkorn, "the necessity foi clearing
heiself of those charges, but she remained
satisfied of the result without considering
the construction that might be placed upon
her silence. Tho only mistake she made at
Coney Island was in allowing herself to use
Parker's name, but even that she did with
her husband's know ledge and consent. Even
a letter I addressed to my sister at her hus
band's house in Biooklyn was opened by
him, and by him le-directed to her, ad
dressed to 'Mrs Edward Parker.' " This
letter Mr. Haberkorn exhibited to the re
porter. Mrs. Henken explained why she took
Parker's name at Coney Island, and why she
wenctneie. biio said sue went to coney
Island because it was near town and two of
her friends, a Mr. and Mrs. Beeves were
staying there.
MKS. IIEHKEK'S OTO STORY.
"I w ent away at first for a week," said Mrs.
Henken, "and on returning at the end of
that time, my husband asked mo why I re
turned so soon; that I might have remained
longer. I returned and stayed at
Coney Island in all about three
weeks Mr. Parker was there, and
thinking people would remark it as odd
that he should escort another man's wife to
table, etc., I thought it would be a good plan
to call nrysolt ''Mrs Parker.' and I did simply
to avoid talk. Mr and Mrs Keev es, Mr.Parker
and I dined at the same table everyday.
Our actions were open as the day, and theie
is not the least ground for the charges
named in the suit."
"Mr. Parker and I have been friends for
the last three years, and he has been an ex
ceptionally warm friend of Mr. Henken. He
was very attentive ana Kina to my late
mother, who regarded him as she would her
son. He lam told, lsverv much worried
about this suit, since he knows how abso
lutelv groundless are the allegations made.
Had I wished I could have piodnced evi
dence in plenty in denial of them. I wish
now I had not taken Mr. Talker's name, as I
see it was a mistake, but I told my husband
I was doing so and he said it was all light.
He made no objection to it, and even joked
about it.
HER HUSBAND KNEW ALL.
"Since my husband knew what I was do
ing, 1 did not see there could bo harm in it.
He allowed me to remain at Coney Island
three weeks, and did not call on me during
that time. Wo have been mai ried 9 years,
and the first intimation my husband gave
me of anw doubt regarding me, was w hen I
received the papeis in divorce. But, as I
have said, his conduct had become so
abominable, that I w as as ready fora divorce
as he was. Since I returned from Coney
Island, I learned that he had said his ac
quiesance in my going to Coney Island
alone, and in taking Mr. Paiker's mine, was
a trap in w hich to catch mo, and now I be
lieve it "
Mrs. Henken is about 25 years of age and
of very prepossessing appeal auce. She re
lated her story in an exceedingly modest
mannei and with all air which carried with
it a conviction of her innocence of any
wrongdoing. Mr. Haberkorn told a repor
ter that, if his sister had entered a defense,
such details of Henken's conduct would
hav e been aired as would have been better
left undisturbed. Pity for her husband had
a little to do with his wife's silence. The
couple have no family.
TUBNED THE HOSE ON HIMSELF.
Why a Carload of People on the Pleasant
Valley Boad Wrere Happy.
Last ev enin,r the passengers on car Xo. 113
of the Pleasant Valley line were treated to
an unexpected and unpleasant bath. The
car was standing near the corner of Ander
son and Lacock streets when a tottering in
fant, sitting on the pavement nearby, seized
the nozzle of a garden hose which was lying
beside it, and from which a stream of water
was flowing, and turned it on the car.
Theie was a lively scramble among the
passengers as they tried to get ont of the
range, but the kid understood his business,
and swept the car from end to end Just as
the car got in motion again the child turned
the hose on itself, and tried to look down the
nozzle. This pleased tho passengers im
mensely, but the baby didn't seem to like it,
and set up a howl when he got his mouth
full of water.

BEAUTIES OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY.
Views From Highland Grove, McKees
port's Picturesque Suburb.
A few days ago a gentleman left in our
office window a photographic view of the
Monongahela Valley, between McKeesport
and Bradflocks Field,takcn from the summit
of Highland Grove, and many who passed
by stood still to admire the beautiful pan
orama which the artist has reproduced with
the camera. One young lady exclaimed:
"Oh! would it notbelovely to see that view
in reality; wonder how long one must travel
to get there?" "Only about 60 minutes,"
replied one of the bystanders. One of our
landscape artists looked at it for awhile,
made some inquiry in regard to exact loca
tion, wondered why he had not seen the
Slace before and then quickly expressed his
etermination, that he would go and
reproduce that picture in oil colors; and,
indeed, many of Pittsburg's residents
may have traveled hundreds of miles to see
sights but not likely did they find a place
where so much natural beauty was com
bined with evidence of energetic industry
and enterprise. The landscape shows a
large expanse of water, the Monongahela
making here a wide sweep like a horseshoe
curve, so that the opposite shore appears as
a large island in a oeautiful lake j ou see
thrifty villages, forests, farm:, orchards
and meadows intermingled with immense
industrial establishments, the view resem
bles somewhat the one seen from the Statue
ot Libertv in the New York harbor onto
Staten Isfand. To the left you see the city
of McKeesport spread over several beauti
ful hills with its huge industries lining the
right bank of the river two bridges, one a
highway bridge and the other a railroad
bridge, facilitate communication and com-
msree with the opposite shore, on which
are located the Howard Plats Glass Works,
the Allegheny Bessemer Works, the Du
quesne Tube "Works and the villages
of Duquesne and Gerrnantown. The trunk
line railroads extend their branches
up this valley to the right you see the
villages of Saltsburg and Port Perry and the
boroush of Braddocks Field, withthe im
mense Edgar Thomson Steel Works, and
beyond that the industrial establishments at
Rankin, Keating and Homestead.
The point from which you can see all this
is located in a beautiful grove where mag
nificent forest trees qive delicious shades m
summer, and villas ironting a public square
are heated with natural gas in winter; it is
supplied with water from the city and can
be reached on an easy grade by a paved
street from the city of McKeesport, or by a
short lootpatn irom Demmler Station.
If you are fond of a pleasant country
home with city conveniences and amidst
life and prosperity, here is. the place and
now is the time to select some of the fine
tAiildmg lots which the Highland Land
Company Lim. has for sale in this locality.

HAD AT HUCKSTERS.
Farmers Complain of Being Crowded
Ont of the Pittsburg Market
BY THE HORDES OP MIDDLEMEN.,
They Say They Have Ko Show Whatever to
Ecll Their Produce.
BIG MONEY IX BETAILIXG PEACHES
The gardeners who attend the Pittsburg
market are all torn up over the encroach
ments of hucksters. Some of them have
been casting about for a time, in hope of
finding relief. They say the law for the
prevention of forestalling has not only been
a dead letter for years past, but instead of
getting their rights they are treated as step
children, and as though they were only
there by sufferance. At the same time they
claim that petition and remonstrance are of
no avail and that regular garden product
raisers are forced to take back seats so that
people whose dealing there is not contem
plated by law monopolize the space, and
among those arc fakirs and Italians, most,
if not all, of the latter being not even nat
uralized citizens, while some of the com
plainants pay considerable taxes in addition
to the rent of their spaces, and some hucks
ters pay none.
"Why do you not file a remonstrance and
support it before the powers in charge?" was
asked of one, and he replied: "I think the
result would be disastrous. I don't know
but that it would be worse for me, as I'm
afraid I could not get support from fellow
sufferers, and might be forced out entirely,
as some others have been.
AFRAID OF BEING FROZEX OUT.
"I understand that Kane disposed of his
business, fearirfg that he might be forced out -I
on short notice and thus lose on his stock,
and seeing a-good chance to sell avoided
trouble. You know Zoch got out also. If I
could dispose of my truck farm for Its full
value I would quit. We are so crowded for
room by Hucksters that we cannot find
place for our stuff except by putting it out
on tho back streets, and then teamsters
drive into it, and having right of way, wo
cannot prevent it. One butcher seems to
hav e authority to take any liberty his fancy
dictates, and backs his wagon among our
baskets, regardless of consequence. I am
glad to say that he is the only one of the
butchers that tyrannizes over us, but he Is
one too many.
"The market house, as I understand It,
was established for tho mutual benefit of
farmers and the general pnblic, and while
we are allowed to sell to grocers we are not
allowed to sell to one another, but along
came adventurers, many of whom have
nev er declared their intention of becoming
citizens, and not only elbow us out of our
places or greatly crowd us, but sell the stale
products of the South, the West and Ber
muda. If we complain to the constables it
does us no good. They seem to have their
orders from some source of power, Judging
from the indifference with wnich they treat
our complaints."
As far as could be Jearned farmers and
gardeners all talked the same way, but they
all said "Don't quote me, as I cannot afford
a fight 011 top of present trouble." One of
them pointed out two stands, the best, he
said, about the market house, and said: "I
will glvo $2,000 spot cash to get a permanent
hold on one of them, and yet neither of the
men who occupy them prodnces a single
vegetable himself. As tooneof them, aman
who lives in the country pays the rent to
the market clerk and turns the stand over
to the huckster. I don't know what ar
rangement the rent payer has with the
huckster, but I do know that he has often
made $25 in three hours selling peaches, and
between some of the hucksters' tricks and
the absence of a sealer of weights and meas
ures, both the farmers and the public are
done up pretty thoroughly.
CROWDED OUT BY HUCKSTERS.
"We must crowd our stuff out into the
street to accommodate hucksters ranged
along the walls, and the streets are largely
taken up by wagons also belonging to huck
sters. Some farmers come here early in the
night in order to secure a place, and their
horses are left standing suffering on the
stones until I often wonder the Humane So
ciety does not get after the owners, and yet
the farmers can do no better, owing to the
huckster nuisance. The public may be sat
isfied to pay speculative prices for stale im
ported tomatoes, potatoes etc., and be
cheated by unjust balances and short
measures, but it should know what it buys,
and that tho market is no longer one in the
primary signification of the term, and when
wc are entireiv driven out. as we will hn in
a few years If this stato of affairs continue,
you will all be driven to the groceries for
supplies, or buy all the time at a speculative
advance for the monopoly is nearly perfect
now."
A visit was made to Chief Bigelow's office,
but he was not at home, ana Mr. Bingham
said he know nothing about the matter, and
reterred the inquirer to Market Superintend
ent Adams. A couple of calls wero made at
Mr. Adams' office.but he was not found in
either time. His olerk said they had not J
neara anyinmg 01 tne complaints.
