I ty"5; "s-rt THE PnTSBTTEG DISPATCH, FRIDAY . AUGUST 23, 189L T Pittsburg Detectives Make a Capture of One of the Gang of Indi viduals Wanted for MURDERING MRS. PAUL RUDERT. Be Makes the Claim That He Can Prove He Was Confined in the Penitenti ary at Colnmbns OX THE DAT OF THE TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. Wanted at Becwood. West Virginia, for Shooting the lorn Marshal. After eluding the police tor a year and a half, Thomas Condry, alias Eggie Conroy, lias been captured. He is wanted for the murder of Mrs. Paul Rudert, at Tarentum, December 23, 18S9. His capture recalls the facts of one of the most sensational tragc dics ever occurring in Allegheny county. Alexander JEvilliiin is now in the county jail under sentence of death for the same crime and there is a true hill against Con dry. About T o'clock last evening Detectives Fitzgerald and Shore were walking along Spring alley, when they met Condry at the intersection of Slocnm's alley near Twelfth street. They at once recognized him. On account of his reputation and being a large, powerful man, the detectives stepped up close to him before addressing him, so that if he made any move toward escape or at tack they would have the advantage. But lie made no attempt to do either, and when told he was wanted, went along qnietly. COJTDEY GIVES HIS XAME. On the way to Central station in the pa trol wagon Condry said Mb name was John "Wilson. "While he had no home in particu lar he said he had lately been working at -I'i The Ting-VTfinted Thomas Condry. JIcKeesport, coming to this city about two weeks ago. Since that time he has done nothing, but has been visiting various rel atives here. Later, after being locked up, he admitted to Detective Fitzgerald that he was Thomas Condry. He said his home "was nt "Wheeling, "West Ta. He emphatically denied, however, that he had anything to do with the murder of -Mrs. Kudert and de clared he would have no trouble whatever in proving an alibi. The basis of his alibi is that on May 24, 2889, lie was sent to the Columbus Peni tentiary by Judge Johnston, of Ohio, for a robbery he had committed at Mahonington. He was not released from the prison, he fays, until January 3, 189L During his confinement he was 2fo. 20,408. and the name under which he was convicted was John Maek. Cowdry is 38 years of age, about 5 lect 9 inches in height and weighs about ISO pounds. He is a well-proportioned, strongly-built man, of dark com plexion, hair, mustache and eyes. But for a lowering expression caused by heavy, 1uhy eyebrows he would be considered fine looking. His connection with the Eudert murder was established by the late Detective Gil kinson and ex-County Detective Langhorst. He was known to have been connected with several burglaries. A photograph of him being shown to Jlr. Eudert and several other witnesses, they all identified him as lieing one of the bold band that had robbed Eudcrt's t-tore and killed the proprietor's wife in such a cold-blooded manner. It was also learned that Condry was wanted at Benwood, V. Va., where a reward of 5250 was offered for his arrest for shooting the town marMial trying to prevent his escape from prison. the irrwAitjis roit his akkest. The Gilkinson Detcctne Agency sent out circulars bearing photographs and de scriptions of Condry and Peter Urifien.alias Pcterl.ee. It offered a re ward of S.WO for their arrest and conviction of the Tarentum murder, and 52.10 for Condry's arrest on the Benham charge. On the same circular new description"! of Henry Anderson, alias "Xew York Shine," a colored man, and an other man known as "The Pntchnian, "alias "The Of rman," for whom no other name could be secured. These were also believed to have been connected with the Eudert murder. "Xew York Shine" was arrested last winter by Detcctne Fitzgerald, but had no difficulty in establishing an alibi. He is now in the Workhouse for larcenv. On the evidence gathered by County De tective Langhnrst, the Gilkinson Agency and the Pittsburg police, true hills were found bv the grand jury against Griffcn, Condry "The Dutchman" and Alex. Kil lcn. 'i'he last named wn convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of Mrs. Eudert. Nothing has ever been heard of Griften or"The Dutchman,"althoughevery ellort has been made to locate them. Detectives Shore, Fitzgerald and Coulson alter hearing Condry's statement as to the whereabouts at the time of the murder said they believed him. Fitzgerald says he never really believed that Condry" was present at the Tarentum murder, although bomc rather strong evidence was brought against him. Coulson was of the same opinion. OXE CRIMn ADMITTED. Condry admits having had something to do w ith "the shooting of the "West Virginia deputy, but says he did not shoot, he was ouiy in the party when the shooting was done. Inspector McAleese last night notified the authorities at Benwood of the arrest of Condry. It is expected they will at once secure" requisition papers in order to be Erenared for any steps that may be taken y the Court here. District Attorney Bur leigh wa also notified of the circumstances of the case, and he will at once proceed to investigate the alibi Eet up by ,jlic prisoner. If it should prove to be substantiated, as Inspector McAleese and all the detectives believe it will, the indictment against Con dry hero will be nol prossed, nnd he will be turned over to the AVest Virginia authori ties. Inspector McAleese produced a letter last night that he received in relation to the shooting of which Condry is accused. It is dated "Wheeling, October 29, 1888," from the then Chief of Police, Porter Smith. It stated that Condry had shot the Marshal of T QMCQNDBYCAUGH 1 w offered a reward of 5250 for him from the Benwood authorities. The marshal was not dangerously wounded, the letter stated. Condry, it said, would probahly be found in some of the low dives about the city. The name of the marshal was not given. The Pittsburg police have been watching the house of a relative of Condry's. where he was captured, for nearly two years. Qn several occasions when they received word that he was in town or expected here detec tives shadowed the house for whole days and nights to no purpose Condry was then, according to his own statement, an inmate of the Columbus penitentiary.

They were dieglng Into tho pile and making caves. John Kredeweis, aged 15, had made a hole In about ten feet, when, without warning, it collapsed, burying him completely. Aid was summoned, and after a halt-hour's hard digging the boy was reached, lie w as unconscious, but soon revived with fresh air. He had a very narrow escape.

Pittsburg's Death Rate Is Still Far Abore That of Last Tear. SNAP SHOTS AT THE TWO CITIES' NEFS. After September 1 the Fire and Police Bureaus of the Department of Public Safety will be under a new system of management. The new Chief Engineer, Miles Hum phreys, will then take charge of the former. Gamble "Weir, who has up to this time been Superintendent of the Bureau of Police in little more than name, will assume full charge of it. Heretofore Mr. "Weir's duties have consisted in looking after station houses, uniforms, patrol service and other paraphernalia of the bureau, and, although Superintendent of Police in name, has had no power over the workings of the police. .Under this sys tem the inspectors of the three police dis tricts have each managed their own men, be ing responsible to and governed by the Chief of the Public Safety Department. As sistant Superintendent O'Mara has had some supervision over the police of tire city, but was not possessed of power to direct the movements of the three Inspectors. TO BE SUPERINTENDENT SURE ENOUGH. Now there is lb be a change. Superin tendent "Weir will assume the duties prop erly belonging to his office. His word will be law to all the members of the Bureau of rollco. He will direct tho Inspectors in their work: receive and attend to all com plaints and have general supervision over the actions of the force. Assistant Superin tendent O'Mara will nssist Suoerintendent Weir In managing the Bureau and act in Ills Slaco when ho is absent. It is said that Chief rown decided to make this chance bcloro Uie started on his recent trip West. During his connection with the Bureau or 'Police under Chief Brown Mr. Weir, though limited in power, has worked hard to bring tho operation of tho force into systematized shape. He has succeeded beyond tho ex pectation of all. As far as he could ho has made the Bureau the equal of any in the country. In assuming his now duties Mr. Weir will not bostCDnlng into a new field. For many years of his life he has been an ofiiccr of the law In one capacity or another and is thoroughly familiar with tho methods of detecting and apprehending criminals. Besides this Mr. Weir possesses executlvo ability and is especially adapted for commanding and directing the move ments of men. Members of the bnreaufcvho know him are all happy to learn or the change. CHIEF BltOWX NOT SAYING ANYTHING. Chief Brown, when asked about the mat ter, yesterday, said: "I have nothing at all to say concerning It, now." There is no doubt, however, about the fact that tho change has been decided upon by the chief, who has made the workings of his donart- ment a study, and is endeavoring in every way to sytematlze It as much as possible. Mayor Gonrley, when he had heard of the matter yesterday, was very much pleased. , "I have always regarded Mr. V. eir," said he, "as a man ot abllitv in police matters nnd am glad to hear that he is to have full control of the bureau. His knowledge of such things will enable him to 'conduct its affairs in a thoroughly satisfactory manner." Several changes wiil be made in the Public Safety offices. The office now occupied by Assistant Superintendent O'Mara will be used by Superintendent Weir. It will be the general office of the police bureau. The present superintendent's room will be used as a private office. Several alterations will bo made, and an architect is now at work on them. THE SU0EE NUISANCE.

Vesuvius Owners Successful in Get ting More Work Done. OLD HANDS AKE GETTING SCAEED. The Amalgamated Association Takes the Embargo Off Mills IT ONE TIME CALLED BLACKSHEEP The plate rolls in the Vesuvius mill at Sharpsburg were put on double turn last night, and the interest in the struggle con sequently deepened. The bar rolls con tinued in operation, and, it is said, had the effect of inducing some of the old hands to turn in. The difficulty the association will now have will be to keep its men in line, as the firm has announced its intention of pro ceeding with its work. Protection to every man who elects to take employment is promised by the company. Among the finishers on strike are some men who worked in non-union mills years ago, hut were since taken into the union fold. Those are being closely watched, for it is thought that if they go back the rest will follow in a sort of catch-as-catch-can race for the jobs. ANXIOUS TO GET WHITE MEN. It is not known how soon an effort will be made to start up the other two trains of rolls, or the puddling depart ment. The firm is anxious to procure white labor if it is forthcoming, but it has the names of 175 colored workers who are ready to turn in. If the white men aro not willing to work when the depart ment is ready for lighting up, tho firm w ill resort to colored assistance Very few puddlers or their, helpers are to be seen about tho streets; they have nearly all found employment elsewhere. A joint meeting of the puddlers and fin ishers is to bo hold to-morrow afternoon. So it is said, though no official notice is given. At association headquarters yesterday the President took exception to tho statement made in yesterday's issue regarding a meet ing held on Wednesday. Ho said the Sharps burg finishers called at the office and said that no such meeting had been held. The fact of the matter was that a meeting was held and discussions indulged in, but it was Dehind closed doors. The meeting was held at a street corner. Orders for goods on the two Amalgamated stores are being given to thoso in want of provis ions, and it Is stated that one man's rent was paid to prevent his family being put on the street. MUCH SPECULATION AFOOT. Thero Is much speculation and rumina tion, too, among the oldor and cooler heads. One of them yesterday did a little figuring. "The prospects are not bright for running this strike ho said," and it seems to me ic win dc added to toe list or non-union 1111119. It Is already long enough. In three years tne Association lias lose ouu men in wuiiam Clark's mill; 450 in the Fort Pitt; 750 in Lin ger Ximick's; 450 in the Glendale Spike works; 400 men in Spang's steel mill, and now tho 400 more in the Vesuvius may be added to the total, which figures up 2,850 men. At the last convention of the association the policy of the organization towards non union, or "blacksheep" mills, underwent a very radical change. A report was brought up in committee making it legal for asso ciation men to work in mills which, though non-union in tho sense that they had not slgnod tho scale, j-et adopted It as the basis ot wages. This was accented by the con vention with instructions it should go Into effect on the 1st of August. A VEBY RADICAL STEP. This is generally regarded as a very radi cal step, as it practically puts the mill which refuses to sign the scalo on the samo footing as tnat which docs. An official of the organization holds tnat It only applies in tho case of such mills as pay Amalga mated rates in all their departments,though they had not "signed" the August scale. If this construction is correct tho policy of tho convention will re "lnatn inoperative inasmuch as there is not a non-union mill which pays .in all its departments the samo rate as pro vided for under the scale. Thus it would bo practically a dead letter. But there is reason to believe that, in effect, union men will be privileged to work In mills where, for the work they do, equal rates aro paid' with those tilling where the scalo is in force. That is, that union men can accept work in mills where say one-hnlf of the men are paid scalo wages, and the other not. This will bo tantamount to permitting union men to work with non-unionists, a departure from orthodox principles, which is regarded as being momentous. SOMETHING INTERESTING Said to Be, Because of Meetings Between Messrs. Kllver, Welhe and Martin. There is something of an interesting char acter on foot between somo prominent local labor leaders, past and present. President Kllver, of the Brotherhood of Car penters, and President Welhe, of the Association of ironworkers, had quite a chat at tho latter's office yesterday afternoon. Later, whilo ex-Secretary of the Association William Mnrtin was talking to a reporter, Messrs. Kllver and Swartz came along. Mr. Martin at once joined them, excusing his abrupt departure with the remark: "Here Is the very man I have been waiting for." Mr. Kllver is understood to hnve promised tho press a statement regarding the late trouble among his trade before his depart ure. He inav, perhaps, embody in it some thing regarding his interviews with Mr. Weiho and Mr. Martin. A PITTSBUBGEB H0N0BED. Captain E. A. Hunt Appointed on the Congress Auxiliary of tho Fair.

Discredits Any Strike. The president of a labor- organization, who is generally well Informed, predicted last night thero would be no troublo be tween the window class manufacturers and their men. Ho said he had good reason for taking this view, though ho would give no reasons. Tho next few days are expected to bring forth developments in this affair. TBIED TO IDENTIFY MLLLEB. A Sensational Jimmy Ryan Story That Was Xippod in the Bad. Yesterday atternoon a man with a red nose, a bad case of stutter and tho name of L. W. Sample, called at The Disvatoii office aud told a long story of his connection witii PInkerton. Ho said he know Jnmes W. Miller, and like many others, declared ho could positively identify him as "Jimmy Ryan." Ho said that all ho needed was to get his eyes on him. Ho would point htm out in a crowd. Ho made a request that Mr. Miller should go out to Lowlcr's saloon, In Oakland, and ho would thero identify him. .Mr. Miller at once declared such an identi fication was impossible. Last .night a re SortormetSample in Oakland, and made a ate with him at Xewcll's at 11:30. Tho man came there and was tiien nilotcd up to The DisPATon office. Mr. Miller was already there, and was introduced to Mr. Sample ns the city editor. Mr. Miller asked Samplo how he could Identify the man, and the hawkeyed detective at for nearly 15 min utes nnd told all he knew of ll an, and how he could be positively identified. He then gotup nnd left, sorry that ho had not had un opportunity to exercise his wonderful NO LOVE FOR A NEW LAW On the Fart of the County Commissioners They Think They Have Knough Work to Ho at Present What Ii Noir Asked of Them. There is one act that was passed ot the last session of the Legislature that isn't likely to go into effect, if some people know themselves, and they think they do. The act recites that hereafter, when any State, county and poor taxes arc placed in the hands of a collector for collection, in ac cordance with any existing law of this Com monwealth, the nmount shall bo credited to tho treasurer of tho county, if previously charged to him and charged to the collector; and such collectors shall glvo bond to the county, with sureties to be npproved by tbo Commissioners of the county, and in such amount ns they may "doslgnate. Collectors arc to bo appointed or elected in tho man ner now nrovldcd by law in each county, and shall make monthly returns to the Commissioners of the amounts collected, and at the same tlmo pay to tho treasurer tho amounts shown by the ro turns to have been collected. The heat generated In the Commissioners' office when the above law was made known yesterday was llko that of certain chemicals united. Mr. Jfercer, however, states that the theory will not win, as the act regukjt ing the matter, that of 1S01, Is a special one, nnd this does not repeal it, and, Percy Digby added, not even by implication. It is said that the arrangement proposed by the act of 1891 would save some person in the County Treasurer's office n large amount of work, but tho Commissioners aro neither thirsting for glory nor do they want any more work and responsibility thrust upon them. Tho indications at present arc that there may bo a considerable amount of friction be tween the offices beforo the matter Is accom modated. It seems It Is nosmnll matter to get settlements out of some delinquent collect ors, and the Commissioners evidently think their work sufficient at present. COULDN'T STAND HIS TEABS. Mrs. Susanna Welsh Complains Against Her Husband, bat Forgives Him. Mrs. Susanna Welsh, a frail little woman, 32 years old, entered the office of the Anti Cruelty Society yesterday afternoon and asked Agent Dean to protect her from her husband. She keeps a boarding houso at Xo. 22 De Sota street, and with an additional income of $23 per month from a piece of property has managed to live comfortably as a widow, her first husband being dead. Becently she met Welsh, and, falling in love, married him. Tho day after the marriage, she said, he demanded that her property be given to him. She declined, and from that date she claimed she has been subjected to all kinds of abuse. He broke her organ, the table ware and the furniture. Wednesday night he drove her out of the bouse. Mrs. Welsh Just finished this narrative when she observed her husband standing on tho opposlto side of tho street. Agent J. A. Sweeny was sent across and brought him into the office. Ho was told of tho com plaint and began to cry like a child. He said 110 was guilty of all the charges but sincere ly sorry. He then caught his wife's hand and pledged himself to a good life and swore that ho would never act so again. His wife remained firm and ho then pleaded with Mr. Dean not to send him "out in the cold world" without friends or money. Mr. Dean remarked that it would not be "In a cold world, but in the workhouse." Agent Sweeny was appealed to, and also declined to interfere. Welsh then with tragic dignity said: "It's all up. Take me to the workhouse." At this his wife com menced to cry, and a reconciliation followed that set all in tho office laughing. A DAY'S ACCIDENTS.

A Royal Greeting Extended Him by Republicans at Braddock, HE MAKES A SIGNIFICANT SPEECH. An Outburst of Cheers at the Mention of the Xame of Blaine. MOKE CLUBS FOR THE P1TTSBUEG HAN A royal greeting was extended to Hon. John Dnlzell at TSraddock last evenine by the delegates and alternates elected to go to Scranton in his interest for the Presi dency of the State League of Bepublican Clubs. The little Congressman was the hero of the hour, and it was with the ut most confidence of ultimate success that he was entertained by 60 of the Republicans of tbe neighborhood. From the depot to the banquet hall at the Frantz Hotel he was escorted in a carriage by the reception com mitteeCaptain Charley "Wood, "W. "W. MeCleary and 3". F. Bennett. Sheriff Mc Candless, Superintendent Luckey and George Miller accompanied Mr. Dalzell. Speechmaking following the feast. 'Squire Fred "W. Edwards was toastmaster. A. M. Carline, a representative citizen, who stands high in Grand Army circles, responded to the toast, "Onr Guest." "Our Clubs" was the toast assigned to Mr. Dalzell, and it was a glorious address that followed. Mr. Dalzell first paid tribute to the late Captain Jones, whose memory, ho said, would be fragrant forever, This touched tho hearts of his fol lowers at Braddock, and he had them spell hound through his eloquent remarks that followed. In 1S38, he said, there were 100 Republican clnbs in this Commonwealth, when the suggestion was offered that a na tional league should be established, and tne following year, there were 4,000 clubs throughout tho Union. The idea was thnt thero should be a club for every voting pre cinct. In his jndgment five clubs, witn 20 members each, had more strength than ono club with 100 members. At the last Conven tion of Republican Clubs 212 clubs were all that wero in existence. One-half of these were from four eastern counties. When the idea was suggested to him that he become a candidate for tho Presidency, it was with tho understanding tbnt there would be no contest. Ho said that while ho was In the fight to stay, ne would never have entered the contest had ho known that such a tussle wns to follow. The question to be decided now, Mr. Dal zell said, was not so much the contest of the Presidency, but whother the minority nt the convention shall ga? the majority. He de clared that they shall not, aad that it was the intention to march home after the meet ing, nn unbroken column, with victory pinned to their banners. Mr. Dalzell declared himself in favor of the State ticket, and said: "If we are true to ourselves wo must win." 3Ir. Dalzell, in closing, confined his remarks to the prin ciples of his party, saying that it was the party of such eminent statesmen as Harri son, Reed and McKinley and thnt peerless statesman, James G. Blaine. At the sound of tho names of McKinley and Blaine his hearers nearly went wild. Addresses were mnde by Mr.Luckey.Shoriff McCandless, Mr. Wood, Captain Whalen and others. There were ten clubs represented. BOTH FOB DALZELL. Two More Bepublican Clubs Organize and .Elect Officers and Delegates.
