Head of the Ohio.
Inspector McAleese lias closed another
fashionable speak-easy. On information
made by him, Detectives Robinson and
Fitzgerald yesterday arrested Mrs. McCrea,
of Xa S02 Penn avenue, for alleged liquor
belling. The place has been running for a
considerable time, but owing to the extreme
watchfulness as to who should be admitted
to its secrets the police have been unable to
get a good case heretofore. Mrs. McCrea
kept a bojrding hoosc and had eight or ten
lodgers and she and her two daughters occu
pied the remainder of the house.
It is a large three-story brick situated
right in the midst of a very respectable
neighborhood, where nobody would expect
to find a speak-easy. Even the immediate
neighbors were unaware of the rather ex
tensive operations in the liquor selling
line. They had often seen at night numer
ous carriages coming and going from the
door, but supposed the occupants were visit
ing the office of a dentist on the first floor
front. They did not know that parties ot
fashionable young people of both sexes
from the East End and Allegheny "Were
flocking to the place to drink wine and in
dulge in little quiet carousals.
T1IK POLICE WEKE IXKOI1MED.
Hut the police were better informed.
They knew that numerous wealthy business
men and young bloods were congregating
there, and that "Mrs. McCrea's wine par
lors," as the place was commonly called,
needed their attention. Inspector Mc
Aleese and Detoctive Robinson went down
Tuesday night to arrest the proprietress,
but she' wasTuot at home. They found a gay
crowd inside drinking. They wanted Mrs.
McCrea, so that the arrest was put off until
yesterday.
After "the warrant was served the woman
was taken before Magistrate McKenna and
released on 5.100 bail to await lurthcr trial.
Inspector McAleese has a list of prominent
people whom he will ue as witnesses if
necessary. The hearing has been set for
l'riday afternoon at 4 o'clock. In speaking
of the published statements coming from
Mrs. McCrea, Inspector McAleese last night
baid:
'When this lady says, as she is credited

with considerable profit to herself, as her
prices were pretty steep and herjeustomers
of the liberal class. You will see that when
the hearing comes she will promise not to
violate the law acain, and she will pay
her fine without a murmur. The ladyWs
two daughters, and on their account 1 am
more than sorry this thing has occurred,
ns they are bright, innocent young
girls, " anil I am satisfied " they
were entirely ignorant of the sort of an es
tablishment "their mother was conducting.
Asto the other inmates of the house I can't
say very much. Th"re are two or three
lady roomers, married v omen I ara told,
whose husbands are traveling men and
Fpeud much of their time away from home.
UJicn I am told also that Mrs. Crea has, had
six or eight gentlemen rooming in the
house.
OTiu:n cities sow in use.
The war on speak-easies is not confined to
the 1'irst police district of Pittsburg, but is
leing prosecuted in other cities. This is
especially the case in Philadelphia,
where during the pat few weeks
many places have been closed. Consider
ablctalk has been created in that city over
the fact that when places are raided" those
who opcn.te then are fined or imprisoned,
while the visitors are usually let go free.
Concerning tins, inspector jUcAleese-said
last nisht:
"Prior to May, 1800, when the practice of
making informations against these people
was not in .ogue, all visitors, as a rule,
found at the time of arrest were re
liaed. Put since then it has been
the custom, with very few exceptions, to
fine visitors as well as proprietors. These
lines are not large, generally 3 or So and
co-ts, but they serve largely to break up the
trade. A great many people who would
otherwise patronize speak-easies are kept
away from them now bv the fear of arrest
and punishment, 1 think it is proper to
follow this course. Visitors to such places
are aiders and abettors to the breaking of
the law, and should suiter.
LOCKED UP FOE LARCENY.
What Happened to a Jtlan Who Took a
Hide Out tho Avenue.
Yesterday afternoon C VT. Smith hitched
his team of horses and a wagon in front of a

Officers Roach and Devlin yesterday
afternoon arrested ten old-tlmcrs on
Old nvcnuo and sent them to Cen

oners are nearly all old drunken
loafers, most of whom have just been re-
leased from tlio work house- and returned to
their old loafing place. Inspector McAleeso

kept as free from this class of people as pos

A Tortlon of the Twentieth "Ward Flooded
A Mistake In Shutting Off the Water
Stops the Duqucsno Traction IJno for
a Time.
The "Water Bureau is having no end of
trouble recently. At 7 o'clock last night
the 30-inch main on Ellsworth avenue
burst at the corner of Aiken avenue. Oak
land and Ilellefield and the region about
Ellsworth avenne and Xeville street are
without water. The break caused the stop
page of the Duquesne Traction line. When
the main burst the street was at once flood
ed with water. Ellsworth avenuo was cov
ered from curl) to curb and
the Dnqucsne tracks were washed
out. The water flowed down Ells
worth avenuo to Summerleljrh street
which lies in a ravine, and flooded tho latter
street from Ellsworth avenue to tho Penn
sylvania Railroad. Cellars were tilled and
tho street wa converted Into a lake.
As soon as the break occurred word was
sent to the Highland Avenuo Water Works
to shut the gates. A mistake was made,
however, and the water was shut off from
the Center avenue main Instead. As
a result there -was considerable delay
In crcttintr the water cut off in
tho right main, but it was Anally done.
In the meantime, shutting off tho Center
avenne main had stopped tho supply of
power house nt Ben Venue. They had water
enough to last until 8 o'clock, but at that
time tho line had to stop. The cars on tho
road when tho break occurred were re
turned to the carhouse from East Liberty by
way of the Center avenue branch. Tho lino
wus stopped until a late hour.
ChiefBigclow was notified of tho break,
and as soon as possible hada gang of men at
work to repair it. Tho street had sunk
several feet and the asphnlt pavement had
been washed ont for some distance. It will
requiro censiderablo time to repair the
break.
HIS JAG SAVED HIM.
Thomas Molly Attempts to Derail a Cable
Car and Gets Knocked Down.
Thomas Mally was driving a team along
Liberty street last evening and the samo
time endeavoring to maintain his equili
brnm against the effects of considerable
stinmlant. This so affected his vision that
ho diove up against car No. 12 on tho Citi
zen's Traction line ncai the corner of Sixth
street. Mally was thrown out, fell on the
track, while the wagon was tossed to ono
side, but not damaged. It was thought at
first that Mally was killed. Tho patrol
wagon was called and ho was taken to the
Homeopathic Hospital bnt the doctors soon
found that he was only slightly bruised
and no bones were broken. At II o'clock
last night Mally was lying in his cot at tho
hospital, singing at the top of his voice, a
perlormance, too attendants said, he had
been carrying on for ncarlv two hours.
Gripman Ilanlon was arrested by a man
named Sweeney and taken to Central sta
tion, but was afterward released on bail fur
nished by the traction compiny. The dis
patcher of tbo company called at Central
station last night and stated that steps
r ould be taken to ascertain by what author
ity Sweeney made tho arrest.
Sweeney was dressed In citizen's clothes,
and v hen asked by Ilanlon what authority
he had for making the arrest pompously
threw hack His coat, displaying a couple of
badges, one of which, In said, showed that
he was an agent of the Iluxnano Society.

Hirli State of Fever.
Testerday morning about 4 o'clock a man
........... . . ...
waiKea into mo jvnegneny ioci;np ana nsKca
Sergeant Sherry for a night's lodging. His
actions at times were rational, and again
peculiar. He said he was a printer, John B.
Quartz, and worked at Eichbatim's, on Fifth
avenue, and that his home was at 3107 Penn
avenne. Ho desired to go to tho work houso
for 90 days, but as ho did not look like tho
usual customers for that resort, was well
dressed and perfectly sober. Sergeant Sherry
believed he was unbalanced mentally. Ho
asked for wntcr overy five minutes, and
upon accidentally touching his hand the
Sergeant discovered ho was burning with
a fever. He then put him to bed 1c the hos
pital department, and in the morning
secured thescrvices of City Physician Haz
zard. The Doctor pronounced the man to be in a
high state of fever, and then inquiry wns
made at his home on Penn avenue to learn
what to do with him. The startling Infor
mation was given that he had Jumped out of
a sick bed several davs ago and had been
missing ever since, lie was then removed
to his residence hi the patrol wagon. Tho
poor fellow's life is despaired of.
THOUGHT THEY HAD THE E0BBESS.
An Amusing Incident In Connection "With
the East End Burglaries.
Quite an amusing incident occurrod on
Monday evening in tho east end of Mt
Albion district, which has been Infested by
burglars for the past tx weeks. A party of
adventurous young gentlemen from tho
Southside hearing ot the recent lrights the
people of Stanton avenuo have been having,
determined to visit the neighborhood, and,
If possible, capture the thieves. The same
spirit had been aroused in several of the
residents of Stanton avenue, and they, too,
were but on an exploring expedition.
The two parties, moving slowly and cau
tiously along, pissed each other, and each
became instantly convinced thnt the other
party were the very persons for whom they
wero looking the burglars. It is difficult to
say wrat would have hnppened if timely ex
planation had not ensued. The affuir, which
might have terminated very seriously, thus
ended with a hearty laugh all aiound.

MET AND DISAGREED.
Sub-Committees of the Window Glass
Manufacturers and Workers
CONFERRED YESTERDAY ON RATES.
President Gompers, of the Federation, An
tagonized This tear.
BAR. ROLLS START AT THE VESUVIUS
Sub-eommittecs of the window glass man
ufacturers and workers conferred yesterday
on the yearly scale, but arrived at no settle
ment Something approximating a dead
lock has now been reached, and the lighting
of the fires is regarded as remote.
The conference was quite accidental. J.
I". Hart, of Muncie, Ind., chanced to be in
town yesterday, and he, with .Tames A.
Chambers and "William Loeffler, having
previously been appointed a sub-committee
on the question, the occasion was regarded
as opportune for a talk with the workers.
An intimation of this desire was conveyed
to the corresponding sub-committee on the
other side, and President Eberhart, Daniel
Winters and II. D. Surarer, who composed
the committee, at once responded. The
conference was held in the office of R. C.
Schmertz & Co., and lasted until late in the
evening.
XO AGREEMENT EFFECTED.
There was no agreement effected, but the
relative positions of the parties have un
dergone a change. At the last conference
the manufacturers were firm in asking for
a reduction in wages of 10 per cent; last
night thoy withdrew from1 this position.
The workers, on tho other hand, would
make no concessions, adhering to their
demands, and insif.ting on the increased
pay, of about 8 per cent, demanded for
the gatherers. Tho manufacturers with
drew their demand, as one of them re
marked after the meeting, because, al
though they felt that the reduction should
be made, they wero willing to let it go rather
than brine about a strike.
The manufacturers are determined not to
grant the increases asked for by the men.
They say they will make no concessions
which will result in making the cost nny
higher than it is to-day. It should be the
other way. they saw Thoy say that to enable
the American maker to compete with the
foreigner he should be able to undersell him.
At present costs the American was just about
able to hold his own. Makers sav that an
advantage in cost over the foreigner would
mean everything to them, ns they could get
at tho sympathy of the trade through their
pockets by underselling tho foreigners.
A LARGE MAJORITY; IN LINE.
The sub-committee of the workers went
Into the conference instructed and had no
option but to act as it did. The determination
to demand 70 per cent of the blowers' wages
for the gntherers, instead or the 63 per cent,
which ruled last lire, w as arrived at by vote
of the entire trade, and was carried by a
three-fourths majority, as has been
already announced in these col
luuins. The sub - committee acted
as the mouthpiece of the trade, and could
not act without Instructions. Last year thev
were given discretion. It is difficult to sny
what the next step will be. Even If the
workers were willing to reconsider their
action, no vote could be obtained within a
shorter period than seven weeks, so that tho
position looks much liko a deadlock. Theie
Is scant probability of nny fires being put
in by the 1st. the usual tlmo.
Tho condition of the trade is not very
good. Tho stocks are held mostly by tho
jobbers, and thoy are not moving very fast.
Very Httlo Inquiry from Jobbers is being re
ceived nere, uut sevorai manuiacturers noia
fair stocks and sufficient to stop a good
sized gap, if it should occur.
AFTER GOMPERS' SCALP.
A local Man May Hun Against the Presi
dent of the Federation of Idlbor Why
There Is So Mnch Opposition to the Pres
ent Incumbent.
"Who will be the next President of the
American Federation of Labor is a ques
tion receiving some consideration in lodge
rooms at this time. Evidences are not want
ing of whom it is declared shall not be, and
that is tho present incumbent of tho office,
Samuel Gompers, or tho Cignrmakors "Union,
orXew York. An inquiry into the sentiment
in this city in this matter, placed with tho
ascertained views ordelegntes in the large
cities, leaves no doubt that Mr. Gompers
will not be again returned to the executive
office of the big organization. He has al
ready served six terms, and this fact alone
is advanced as a motive for opposing his
election to a further term of oflice. But ir
Mr. Gompers means to fight for his position
he will meet more weighty reasons than this.
The general opinion about Mr. Gompers is
that he has been weighed and found wanting.
In tiiKcityhcisregardcdasbeingbehlnd the

Itcports fiom reliable quarters havo it that
the Pittsburg delegation to the annual con
vention to be held at Birmingham, Ala., In
Hece-nbor, will vote solidly against Gomp
ers. The Chlcagb delegation, and the West
generally, is openly opposed to his re
election, and Xew York City is reported as
being unmistakably hostile to him. Hence
It is regarded as certain that next year will
see the federation with a new executive.
It is said that Mr. Gompers would hnvo
been defeated last 3-ear if a strong man had
been put up against him. Morgan, of Chi
cago, has run against him, but Morgan's
socialistic tendencies lost him support.
Allegheny county will make an effort
this year to place a man in the
field. Several names have been men
tioned, but that of J. H. Burtr, or
"Han" Burtt, as he is generally known, ap-
Sears to be received with the greatest favor,
urtt has been connected with labor organi
zations for 30 veai s. and it is generallv con
ceded he Is made ot the metal towotthily fill

dent of Wheeling at present, but is an Alle
gheny county man. He Is a brother or Will

htotlier is ex-Secretary or the Window Glass
Workers' Association. He is a son of Prof.
Burtt, and n flint glass worker by trade.
John B. Itae, of tho United Mine Workers,
has also been mentioned, hut his Knight of
Labor affiliation Is regarded as being in his

STARTED THE BAB BOLLS.
Tesnvlns "Workers Chagrined at the Snccess
of the Finn.
The Vesuvius mill hands were much sur
prised yesterday, when the bar rolls were
started up on two fnrnaces. Fifteen tons of
finished sheared pipe iron were turned ont
from three heats without any of
it being condemned. Tho men on
tho outside were considerably chagrined
to find that the owners could get men to fill
their places. The firm Is getting juen on to
wmk about ns fast as tho association takes
them out, so that in this respect tbp fight is
about a stand-off. Tho association is tapping
its treasury to some purpose with thu ob
ject. The finishers called another meeting dur
ing the afternoon, about SO of them being
present. The feeling wns reported to be
that if the Union officials did not make a
settlement of some kind at onco they would
eacli ono look out for his Job ns best he
could. Meanwhile tho firm is getting in
men and every day finds an increase In the
number of non-union workers and a corre
sponding decrease in the ranks of the work

Mr. Chambers' Friends Have Faith In the
Value of the Butler Plant No Statement
Yet Beady for Creditors How Affairs
"Stand Now. ,
The statement of James A Chambers'
financial affairs was not presented yester
day, owing to the fact that certain creditors
and directors of the Standard Plate Glass
Company had not returned to the city. It
is necossary for Mr. Forguson,Mr. Chambers'
attorney, to confer with those parties on
matters relating to the Standard Company's
intentions, before ho can finally complote
tho statement which he is preparing for
presentation to Mr. Chambers' creditors.,
asking for nn extension.
As boforo stated In The Dispatch, imme
diately on the securing of this Information
tho statement of Mr. Chambers' affairs will
bo made. The impression among business
men that Mr. Chambers will bo able to pull
through is gaining strength dailv.
but it is generally admitted
that this depends on the showing
made by the Standard Company. Many as
surances have boen made by those in a posi
tion to know, that the company Is in a solv
ent condition and tho plant in splendid
shape, doing a largo business and making
money. There have nlso been statements,
on tho other hand, that the plant evidently
could not bo on a monev-maling basis, be
causoof the fact that it" is now financially
embarrassed and tho stock selling at a low
figure, and the farther fact that an immense
amount or money had been sunK in the en
terprise without bringing about correspond
ingly large results in tho line of profits. This
was explained last night by one of tho di
rectors and ono of tho largest stockholders
in a conversation with a Dispatch reporter.
"It is admitted that a great deal of money
has been put into the, ouslness," said he,
"and that the affairs are at present badly
comnllcated.'but the plant, which was orig
lnalfypnt up In a very unsatisfactory and
incomplete manner, had to bo practically
rebuilt and remodelled before it was placed
in a condition to turn out the required quan
tity and quality of goods. All this necessi
tated a larger outlav than would havo re
quired to conduct an entlrolv now plant.
Unfortunately, Justus evervthlng was got
ten into good shape, the collapse of one or
two of tho principal indorsers involved the
company In temporary difficulties, hut these
have been ovorcome, and there is now llttlo
doubt that the company will proceed, with
out any further interruption, to make of the
Standard Plate Gloss Company one of the
best plate glass producing establishments
in the country."
The Sheriff's sale was continued yesterday
at the Schmertz store, and most of the re
maining stock was disposed of.

Patrons Rare Sport.
There was nn cxccllont attendance at
yesterday's fair nt Tarentum, and, exhibits
having all been placed in their proper de
partments, it wns shown that tho fair will
be second to none ever shown in this vicin
ity. The races yesterday wore used merely
as starters to whet the appetites of the hun
dreds of tho horsemen in tho city, and the
remaining days of tho fair will bo noticeable
for tho oxccllenco of the racing and, no
doubt; by a large attendance if the fair
weather continues. Although tho tlmo
yesterday was too slow to pay much atten
tion to, the races wero very interesting to
the many farmers and horse fanciers who

second and Tom Taintor third.
The fast events will begin to-day, when

Canso Great Excitement In IJcllcOeld Tho
Annimal Finally Killed.
A wild cow was the cause of a great deal of
excitement yesteiday afternoon in Belle
field. At 4 o'clock in tho afternoon several
men, who were employed by J. II. Phillips,
a well known butcher, were driving the cow
irom the stock yards and whon nt DIthrldge
street and Fifth avenue the cow became ex
cited nnd unmanageable. Its nctions at
tracted considerable nttention and a number
ot boys followed tho cow and annoved it by
their cries. John Wallace, one of those who
witnessed the antics of the cow, attempted
to head the animal off. The beast turned on
him and caught him in her horns, tin owing
him over her head. Wallace was bruised by
the fall but not seriously Ipjurcd. The cow
then ran uninterrupted down ns far as tho
Biding Academy, Neville and Bayard
streets.
Tho crowd still followed, and by this time
was increased to about 1C0 persons, several
of whom had shot guns and rifles. These
weapons they used with apparently little
cflect for some time. Ono man secured a
large rifle and shol tho cow, killing her in
stantly. Tho cow was then removed to tho
shop for which she was originnlly intended.
SENT TO THE HOSPITAL,
John Scuosky Turned Ont Because He Conld
Not Pay Ills Board.
Several days ago John Maklosky and wife,
of 135 South Twelfth street, called at tho
Twenty-eighth ward station and requested
Sergeant McQuado to have a sick man, John
Schosky, removed from their residence,
stating he did not hnvo nny money and they
"could not take care of him. The Sergeant
refused to do so until they procured a cer
tificate from a physician thnt ho was not
suffering from n contagions disease. Last
night they prodncedthenecessary document,
and the man was removed to the Sonthside
Hospital.
Maklosky intimated that the man hod
been lying In tho yard for some time and was
a nuisance. At the hospital Schosky told a
different story. Ho said that some time ago
lie was hurt in the Oliver Iron nnd Steel
Company's mill, and hns been unablo to
work since. Tne result of his injuries Is a
running soro on his leg. He boarded with
the JInkloskys, and as long as his money
lasted thev mado no complaint, but as sooii
ns his funds were exhausted they began to
kick nnd finally had him removed to the
hospital. He said he only owed them $10 50,
which he would pay as soon ns he was able
to go to work. Schosky hasa wife andfamlly

MORE PROOF OFFERED
In Miller's Defense, Because of
Story Circulated Testerday.
AN EX-POLICEMAN TELLS A STORY,
Bnt Investigation Shows That He Was Bad
ly Hired on Facts.
THE SPHINX SCOHES HIS ENEMIES
"I was attacked to-day by an afternoon
paper, and have been subject to other
attacks through the newspapers because
TnE Dispatch had the best of my story,"
said James W. Jliller last evening. "I am
willing that the papers should publish any
facts that they can get against me in con
nection the Catfish robbery, with which I
had no connection, but I certainly object to
slurs through anonymous interviews with
people who are unknown and cannot be
produced. "We offer affidavits, let them do
the same or shut up.
"I defy them to give the name of the man
who was interviewed. Let him come for
ward, and I dare him to pick me out of a
crowd of a dozen men, let alone one thou
sand as he says, or to prove that I was in
anyway connected with the Eavenna rob
bery. Why, I was in the penitentiary at
the time that crime was committed and
"Warden "Wright could hardly be expected
to give me a vacation to go on such a mis
sion. Investigate that whole story and you
will find it as flimsy as the Bavenna robbery
part It is full of misstatements and incon
sistencies. My advice to such people is to
be sure ol their facts. The man who told
that story was sure of nothing."
A LONG ANONYMOUS INTEBYIITW.
The story referred to was that on the night
before the Connors robbery a gang com
posed of Miller, Tony Warden.an Ohio street
saloon keeper, Charles Ames, Jimmy Robin
son, a bricklayer now employed by Booth So.
Fllnn, known as "Bob," an employe of the
Alleghenv city government, and a present
labor leader met in a place on Federal street,
Allegheny, on the night of March 22, ISSLana
laid plans to rob tho Pleasant Valley olnces.
The "officer" says he was offered m'onoj' to
keep quiet, bnt refused. He claims he r ont
to headquaiters to get assistance and found
that cortaln Allegheny police officials were
in on the job. He then went to Chief Murphy,
who assisted him in breaking up tho gang.
The officers on the inside gave it nway, and
the robbers csenped. But they wero not go
ing to let a night get away from them and
proceeded to go to Connors' house and rob
him. Tho mnn who tolls tho story says ho
"is positive Miller was In thonartvnnd is
willing to take oath to the story."
IIo declared ho could pick Miller out
of a crowd of a thousand men, and
says when Miller or Ames meet him they
cross the street.
This is tho gist of rtn anonymous Inter
view printed yesterday, to show that Miller
Is guilty of the Catfish crime. The man who
tells the story is said to have been a police
man, but when he found that tho officers
stood in with the gang he went to tho May
or's Clerk, and, throwing his keys and badge
in his face, demanded his dlscharg . He is
said to bo at present a special officer for a
corporation.
"WAUDEN WRIGHT SPOILS TnE TALE.
Fearing that tho special officer's memory
might have failed him in somo of the minor
details of the story. It was thoroughly Inves
tigated last night. Tho first man seen on
tho matter was Warden Wright, who was
asked as to the penitentiary record of
Charles Ames, ono of the men said to havo
been in the gang of the night of March 22,
1881.
Warden Wright was found in his resi
dence, and kindly volunteered to go to tho
office to secure the information required.
Ills search through the penitentiary records
revealed tho facts that Charley Ames was
located in that Institution from September
17, 187, to December 10, 1881, having been dis
charged lust throe davs before Millor made
Ms famous escape. Thus It Is shown that
Charley Ames could not possibly have been
in the Federal street saloon on tho night of
March 22, 1881. Tho anonymous talkor
agrees to swear that he was, notwithstand
ing tho penitentiary rccordVaifallibillty.
Chief Murphy, of Allegheny, is mentionod
as the man who stopped the robbery of tho
Pleasant Valley offices, but Investigation
proved that while he doubtless would pre
vent any such scheme nt present, ho was
not in a position to do so at that time.
THERE WAS THEN NO CHIEF MURPHT.
Chief Murphy could not be found in Alle
gheny last evening, but Detective Steele,
now acting superintendent of police, volun
teered tho information on the subject.
"Murphy i-id not enter the police depart
ment until seven years ago," said he. "His
first work was under Mayor Wyman, during
the latter's first term. At the time men
tioned in the story Chief Murphy was mar
ket constable and could hardly have had
anything to do with breaking up that gang,
I don't know much about the police business
at that time and never heard of any such
affair. If there was anything in it I would
certainly have heard it as such stories are
often told by tho boys."
Mr. Steele"mentloned several names of offi
cers ot that day who are now employed by
corporations, but none of them could bo
found last evening to verify the story.
In 1S81 Mr. Peterson wns Mayor of Alle
gheny, ana 111s cicrK wns .At Jv. acandrett,
now Secretary of tho Pittsburg Baseball
Company. Last evening he attended tho
Duqnesne Thenter with a party of baseball
men, and sitting In n box was interviewed
about the story of n policeman throwing
keys and badge in his fnce. He had not
read the story, but after being given a brief
synopsis ofit he said:
BROADLY BRANDED AS A LIE.
'It Is a He! I was Mayor's ClerK under
Peterson during his administration, and
such a thing never occurred. I would be
sure to remember such nn occurrence, lind
as I don't, I can only call it a lie."
CTliis is as far as the story could bo investi
gated last night, and after the facts were
learned Miller was shown the result. "That
is Just tho way tho bottom will fall out of
the majority of these stories gotten ud to
injure me," said he. "I should think I had
enough to do to prove my Innocence after
being compelled to serve seven years in tho
penitentiary for a crime committed by
others. But that does not suit some people
who seem anxious to prevent my rising
above their level. They harass me with a
lot of fake stuff which I must reruto by
furnishing facts and even affidavits. Their
flimsiest stories carry more weight with
some people than sworn testimony on my
side ot the case. But 1 am glad to say that
tlio honorable people believe my story, as
they are tho men I want to associate with in
preference to the contemptiblo persons who
make every endeavor to ruin my story. That
is the reason I am now furnishing tho sworn
proof of my lnnocenceof the bond robbery."
CBTTELTY TO CHILDREN
Getting a Number of People In Trouble
With the Law.
John .Holler, of Gangwlsch street. Six
teenth ward, has been sned before Alderman
Leslie by Agent O'Brien, of the Humane So
ciety, for cruelty to his child, a boy who.'nl
though 16 years old, is small and delicate.

wife a few days ago. The boy Interfered,
nnd his father hit him a terrible blow across
the forebeod with a whip, inflicting an ugly
cut, nnd then struck the boy several blows
with his fist. The child, it is stated, has snr
fcreo similar treatment from his father on
frequent occasions. A hearing will bo held
to-morrow.
Acting Superintendent of Police Steele, or
Allegheny, sent word to Agent Dean of the
Antf Cruelty Society yesterday that an in
fant about 1 year old, whoso mother, a Miss
Anderson, lives in Keilly's court, needed his
attention. It is said the mother und father
of the child, do not live together, and that
neither aro fit persons to care for it.

WILY WASH WALLS.
He Again Enlivens a Plcnio at Allqalppa
and Makes Ills Escape.
Tho colored people had areal sociable time
at the Aliquippa picnic yesterday. Albert
Tllman and David Faulk opeped the pro
ceedings with gin and razors, commencing
on n party of three strangers. Detective W.
J. May arrested the pair and took thom bo
foro Alderman King on charges of assault
and battery.
The occasion was closed as tho passengers
were wailing nt the denot for the return
train by Wash Walls, who excelled all or his
previous engagements at thnt place. Wash
has been arrested before, many a time, and
nt his last hearing agieed to stay away from
Aliquippa forever. Washington was not ns
good as his word, and whon ho ap
peared on tho ground nnd nroceeded
.to hunt for trouble, a constable from
Beaver county confronted him with
a warrant on nn old charge. Walls was
no sooner arrested than n crowd of a hun
dred colored friends gathered around and
recaptured him from the constable. Then
Policemen Sprant, SHI, Schuck and Boyle
came to tho rescue of the constable nnd
dragged Wnsh nway from his rescuers.
On the way to Alderman King's office the
officers wero followed by the mob. everyono
of whom was shouting: "Take him away
from them."' Fearing that the mob would
again, capture Walls lCIcft alone with tho
fellow, tho constablo sent word to
the Pittsburg Central police station.
Tho officers saw Walls and the con
stable on a street car, but thev never
reached tho station house. It is supposed
that "Walls cot away, and thnt the constable
was ashamed to show up.
ABOUT THE F0ST0FFICES.
Inspector Adolph Class Drops aTVord or
Two In Reference Thereto.
Traveling Inspector Adolph Clnss, of tho
Treasury Department, was in tho lobby of
tho Monongahcla yesterday evening prepar
ing to depart for Buffalo and Syracuse. IIo
said ho was well pleased at the progress
made on tho now building. The Fostolllce
department would be moved in by the first
of October. Ho said the work was of the
most substantial kind, and too much credit
conld not be given to Superintendent Pat
terson for the wny the work was executed.
Mr. Cluss said that very probablv nothing
would be dono about the Allegheny office
until a further appropriation was obtained
The site of the Central notel was an absurd
one, he said. It had only a depth or CO feet,
and 40 of this shonld be used as an open
spaco under the nbsoluto rule governing
the structure of such buildings. This would
leave only 35 feet to build on. Two
hundred thousand dollars was asked for
this site, a figure altogether too
high. Mr. Cluss thinks that an approprla-'
tion will be asked for through the Congress
man of the district to mako the sum set
apnrt for the purchnso of the slto adeqnate
for the purpose: $65,000 was not enough, and
the second appropriation of $35,000 conld not
be used toward the purchase.
AN TOWILLING PBIS0KEE
Locked Up by Fellow-Workmen
and
Could Not Get Out.
Tho new Fourteenth ward station on
Forbes street, Fourteenth ward, is nearly
completed, and It is expected that it will be
ready for occupancy not later than October
I. A very funny incident happened at tho
new station on Monday last. When tho
rain started on Monday morning tho men
who are engaged in laying the granolyte
pavement sought shelter on the inside. One
of the workmen, an Irishman, playfully
went into one of the cells and a fellow
workman closed the door with a bang.
Tho cells being self-locking, the man was
thus made a prisoner. A few mlnntes later
the rain ceased, and the boss appeared and
wanted the men to go to work n-'utn, but no
way could bo found to open tho cell door.
The result was that the man wns compelled
to remain locked up until the contractor
arrived with the keys, which was nearly
6 o'clock.

JESSE JAMES' KIYALS
Appear in Pittsburg and Attempt a
Cool Daylight Bobbery.
TWOMEJf KNOCKED DOWN TORCASH
A Woman Screams for Assistance and the
Thieves Get Awaj.
CAPTTJEED AXD JAILED BT THE POLICE
Highway robbers broke loose inPittstrarg
yesterday, and, though they were satisfied to
take chances on small game, they made as
hard a fight as ever did the notorious Jesse
James. Three men attempted to rob Jo
seph Shanholtz, the dealer in second-hand
clothing at 1534 Penn avenue, shortly after
noon yesterday, but though they knocked
out two men, Shanholtz's wife succeeded in
stopping the affair simply by the use of lung
power.
The three men, who were rather shabbily'
attired, entered the store and began examin
ing come of the clothing. They inquired
prices, etc., and seemingly were bent on
purchasing an outfit for each. Suddenly
one of them turned on Shanholtz and de
manded to know if he had any money. It
was a rather startling query and the dealer
was not in a hurry at answering, but finally
replied that he had not. The three men
were loath to take his word on so important
a matter and the questioner proceeded to
knock Mr. Shanholtz down. He was
pounced upon by all three and fought like a
tiger for his cash. Two of the men held
him while the third proceeded to go through
his pockets.
Before they succeeded in finishing the
task, John Herbert, a tailor employed in
the store, rushed to the rescue of his
employer, no didn't get there, however, as
ho was stopped bv a well-directed blow on
the head, after which he sank peacefully to
sleep and left Shanholtz to fight his battle
alone. Thus matters looked favorable for
the robbers, until Mrs. Shanholtz appeared
on the scene, andbefore she could be served
in like manner screamed load enough to
awake tho neighborhood. Her screams were
equal to tho emergency.
In ten seconds a crowd surrounded the
door. Tho robbers hold the door shut, but
the crowd broke it open, and one of the men,
Joseph Glick, a shoe maker, tried to sur
round the three men. He was unsuccessful.
As soon as the thieves saw the predicament
they wero in they tried to get out, and took
tbo back window route as the safest. They
succeeded in reaching tho street and ran np
on Liberty street, but the howling populace
soon informed the police that there was big
gamo running loose, and they went In pur
suit. After a short chaso the robbers succumbed
to the inevitable, donbtlcss with a hope that
their pictures would be published in colored
police papers as men of valor, but so far
they have been disappointed. Officer Ross
Parison is the man who finally cornered
them nnd sent them in the patrol to the
Twelfth ward station, whero they gave the
names of William Downey, William Ford
and John Sullivan.
FBEE TBADE ARGUMENTS
Advanced by Congressman Wilson, In a
Short Cliat on Political Matters.
Congressman William L. Wilson, of'
Charlesson, W. Va dropped into the Mo
nongahcla last night. He was on his way
borne from the lakes, and was accompanied
by George Bnzlor. Mr. Wilson said
he was hearing of tinned plate being
made, but he had yet to see the
American article. He supposed it would
ultimately be made, which w as another way
of saying the people would be taxed to tho
extent of another $15,000,000 nnnnally. When
America ceased buying English tin she
would at the same time lose her English
trado in wheat, corn and beef. This would
be a more serious blow to the farmer than
the admission of tinned plate nt the old
tariff would bo to tho general commnnlty.
The Congressman could not say how he re
garded the political fight in Ohio. He had a
great personal regard for both McKlnley and
Campbell, and both wero personally very
popular. He rather thought the preponder
ance of sentiment would tend toward Camp
bell. He was surprised to find McKlnley
taking np tne silver question so early. Ho
expected he would havo confined himself al
most entirely to tariff issues. Mr. Wilson
says Blaino is as popular in.Ohio as he is in
Pennsylvania. Ho could not say whether
there was any prospect of his being placed in
nomination.
Held For Trial at Court.
W. B. Ettinger was arrested yesterday: and
committed to Jail by Alderman McKenna,
In defnnlt of $500 ball, for a hearing to-morrow
morning, on a charge of embezzlement.
Ho is employed by A. J. Gross, the Fifth
avenuo insuranco man, and it is alleged that
he did not turn over several of the collec
tions he had made.
