CONDRYJSJNNOCENT
lie Cleaily Proves That He Was in
the Colnmbus Penitentiary When
Mrs. Rudert Was Killed.
IIE IS IDENTIFIED AS JOHN MACK.

Tegrees, and Pittsburg Is En
veloped in a Fog-.
EX-3IAT0R BRDSn MIT TET RECOYER.
Harixninfs of t, Saturday in tin Twin Cities at the
Head of the Ohio.
Lait night John Condry. alias "Eggy
Conroy," thoroughly established an alibi
which proves that he was not connected
with the Budert murder at Tarentum.
This still leaves the police at sea as to who
was Killain's pals at that famous jcwelery
robbery ar.d murder. Condry had claimed
that he as in the Colnmbus penitentiary
at the time this murder was committed.
He was serving a sentence under the name
of John Marls.
last night cs-Xarbhal William Williams
arrived from Youngstown to make the
identification As Condry had been taken
to jail the identification was made there.
Marshal Williams wa accompanied by In
spector McAleese, Chief Murphy, of Alle
gheny, and Detective Robinson. Condry
saluted Inspecto- McAleese and Chief
Murphy as soon as he was brought
out into the corridor. Then he
caught fight of Mr. Williams and at-once
extended his hand. Both men recognized
each other and shook hands.
IDESTIFIEr F.YOXr DOUBT.
Williams then stated that Coudry was the
man he arrested in May, 18S9, for burglariz
ing the residence of Dr. Mover, in Youngs
town, and who was subsequently sent to the
Ohio Penitentiary for two years under the
name of John Mack. Condry, during the
conversation which followed, remembered
the Marshal of many little things that had
occurred in the Youngstown Mayor's office
after hi arrest, particularly the fact that he
was allowed to retain a comb which some of
the officers wanted to take awav from him.
This identification proves beyond a doubt
that Condry had nothing to do with the Tar
entum murder.
When Condry was arrested on Thursday
last, he was the possessor of a neat little
black munache, and he was altogether not
a bad looking man. He was thoroughly
searched, clear to the skin, before he was
locked np, and the officers were certain that
there was no instrument of any kind about
him.
SHAVED WHILE IX JATU
Yesterday hen Detective Bobinson took
Coudry from his cell to have him pho
tocraphed and then place him in
jail, it was noticed that his neat
jiiutache had almost ent'rely disappeared
nnd how to account for itsdisappearance the
officers were at a loss to know. That the
prisoner had no instruments of any kind,
not even a knife about him they were satis
ficJ, yet the mustache was gone. Condry
was a'ked to explain its disappearance; lie
umplv smiled in a knowing way and said
that lie chewed it ofll The prisoner
then explained that he knew the
officers here would have him
photographed and would send a picture to
the Columlws Penitentiarv for identifica
tion. This would give the Benwood, W.
Va., authorities a chance at him, and in
order to spoil the picture he got rid of his
mu'taehe, adding again with a smile, by
chewing it oft
Condry will be held to await the action of
the West Virginia authorities.
GETTING BEADY FOB BUSINESS.
The 5toyton-Wjinau 3Iummy Taken Down
and Dusted Oft a Bit.
As an indication that the backbone of
summer is broken, it may be noted ap
propriately that the Stayton-Wyman
mummy was again taken out yesterday.
Mr. Brcnnen and his party were on hand in
Commissioner Shafer's office, but neither
Wyuian nor his counsel were present.
Brennen was stripping off some of tho in
teguments, and the odor of impalpable
dust was faintly obsorvab'e in the room.
Mr. Brcnnen explained that they were
merely doing work that would have been
done in the Prothonotary's office had not
the ballot boxes been taken to Mr. Shafer's
office. He said they were simply getting
ready for business.
Judging from the time required to get
Hie scaffolding erected, the investigation
will be a model of perfection in the art.
Some people tnink it will be under way by
the time the postoffice is established in the
new building.

T TEE
FOR GRIZZLY BEARS.
A Notable Hunting Expedition Starts
To-Day for the Mountains.
SCOUTS AND TRAPPERS ENGAGED.
The Party Will Camp Near the Headwaters
of Powder Hirer.
A DESCRIPTION OF TIIE EQUIPAGE
Aparty of Tittsburgand Boston gentle
men will leave for the West at 8:15 o'clock
this morning, loaded strictly for grizzly
bear. The expedition wjll be one of the
best equipped that has penetrated the
Bocky Mountains in recent years, and will
be composed entirely of experienced big
game hunters.
The hunters will be Messrs. A. L Scott,
the wholesale boot and shoe man, and
Joseph Ii. Lyons, of this city, and J. R.
Parker aud E. B. Holmes, of Parker.
Holmes & Co., Boston. They go direct
from this city to Ft, Steele, Wyoming,
where the expedition will be increased by
the necessary retinue of guides, scouts, cooks,
photographers, etc., with the, possible addi
tion of a chaplain or two. All the nec
essary commissary stores, .guns, am
munition and camping paraphernalia
has been packed up and will be shipped
with the party this morning. The com
missory stores weigh over 1,300 pounds and
is intended to last the party six.weeks.
AN OLD TRAPPEB ENGAGED.
At Ft. Steele the party will be met by
Joe "Walters, one of the oldest and most
celebrated trappers and hunters of the
Bocky Mountains. He has agreed in a
letter to show the party CO grizzlies on the
trio, if thev live through it. They will
also be accompanied by Wm. McCIoud,
Bufe Rhode; and Ed. Adams, three noted
scouts who know every path through the
wildest regions of the grizzly jungles.
From Ft, Steele the objective point across
the country w ill be the Big Horn Mount
ains, 200 miles from the railroad. This
journey will be mad.: on horseback, and the
entire camping outlit will be'packed on the
backs of bronchos. Thirty-two 'horses have
been engaged from what is known as the
Two Bar Outfit to convey the party and
their baggage to tne hunting ground.
Bnfe Rhodes, one of the scouts, was.
with General Bcno in that capacity,
and bears the distinction of being
the first man on the battlefield of
the Little Big Horn thj morning after the
slaughter of General Custer and nis gallant
troops. Rufes brother was killed" in this
battle, since which time he has been the
b worn enemy of the redskins. Adams and
Rhodes are noted lariat throwers and will
undertake to capture alive one or.two half
grown grizzlies for the Schenley Park
zoological collection.
PREPARED TO TAKE THE GRIZZLY.
This is the fourth trip for Messrs. Scott
and Holmes to the Rockies.vnnd this time
they are equipping especially tor grizzly
bear, though they expect to take the pelts
ot a lew etc, antelope and mountain lion.
Mr. Scott says that he will also make an
effort to bring down a mountain goat.
Last year he followed a small
band of goats for four days without
snecess, but has good faith in rinding jliem
at the point where the party will go into
camp on this trip. The steel bear-traps
that they ship with them this morning have
grips as powerful as a vise, and will hold
secure the strongest grizzly in the mount
ains. They were made by the w orks of the
Oneida Society, at Oneida, X. Y., and
weigh 60 pounds each. The pa ty will all
be equipped with the Winchesier "Hew
Express, CO-caliber rifles, the latest and
most accurate and deadly hunter's weapon
made. The shells will be charged with the
new explosive, "gelbite," which, while al
most noiseless, is far more powerful than
powder."' " --
The expedition which, as stated before,
will consist of ten persons four hunters,
three scouts, Walters, the. trapper, a cook
and a photographer and 32 horses, will
not arrive at the headwaters of Powder
river, where they expect to camp, 'for a
week or ten days.
ALL TO BE PRESERVED.
The Dispatch has made ' arrangements
with Mr. Scott to have a messenger sent
from the camp to the railroad station, a dis
tance of about 200 miles, once a
week, with a full account of their
hunting and trapping, descriptions
of the country, photographic views, etc.,
which will be published as soon as received.
Mr. Scott and Mr. Holmes are not strangers
in this wild country and have had many ex
periences in past trips worthy of the old
time trappers. In the three' trips they
made together Mr. Scott killed 52 elks and
numerous antelope.
HE CAN'T SUE HIS WIFE.
Some
Sensations to Follow the SIcnor
Elopement on the Southside.
Some developments which have been un
looked for are expected to turn up after.the
hearings are held in the larceny cases
against George Little, Daniel Harris and
others, which followed the alleged elope
ment of Mrs. Charles Signor, of the South
side, three weeks ago. The story of the
elopement .was published in full at the time
and created a sensation. But now it is said
another chapter, about as sensational as the
first, is in process of evolution.
It was reported last evening that after
the hearings are held before Alderman Suc
cop. those who have been arrested will enter
suit acrainst Charles Signor for malicious
and false arrest, as it is claimed Signor
could not legally prefer the charges against
the men for the reason that they, it is said,
only aided Mrs. Signor in taking away the
household goods, and . under the present
law s a man cannot sue liis wife for larceny.
Those under arrest are confident they will
be discharged for this reason, and also for
the fact that one alderman refused to take
the cases. " .
THE STB0HG WOMAN JEALOUS.
A Healthy Scotchman Enters the Eists and
liaises Minerva's Ire.

ness with a number o Iron balls and dumb
bells, one of which is said to weigh 225
pounds. After she had finished her act a
healthy Scotchman mounted the platform
and raised the heavy bell high above his
head, "just as easy," at which, it is alleged,
the madam became jealous and struck liim
in the mouth.

erfment the company controls abont 245?
sqtiare miles of mineral land, containing
not only rich deposits of tin, but gold and
silver veins and some cinnabar (quick
silver). While the entire territory has
been prospected and the fact demonstrated
thkt the more precious metals exist in pay
inr quantity, attention has only been given
this far to the development of the tin-bearing
deposits. In this direction some 100 veins
of? tin ore have been uncovered, ranging in
width from 1 inch to 6 feet, and carrying
fnm 5 to 60 per cent of metallic tin. Of
tlese 100 veins some 60 are of
stfficient importance to render their
working profitable. There are six mines
opened and three of them in operation,
yielding 60 tons of ore per day, with the
rfesent working force, which can be greatly
iicreased as soon as the completion of addi
tional reduction and smelting capacity ren
ters a greater output of ore necessary.
3he mining is conducted on the primitive
Hexican plan, the ore being carried from
the workings on the shoulders of Mexicans.
rrRE AND FKTE PIG TI1T.
Native labor Is very cheap, but as soon as
hoisting machinery is supplied the expense
jif this department will be greatly reduced.
The mill now in use has a capacity of 100
ions per day of ten hours, the ore being
loft and requiring no blasting in mining,
being carried in rotten porphyry. The
two smelting furnaces now in operation are
producing a ton per.day of as pure and fine
pig tin as the world has seen, analysis by a
'local chemist showing no trace of arsenic,
iron or copper, and very slight trace of ani
mal matter. Lime for flux is made very
cheaply from fluor spar, found in great
quantity a quarter of a mile from the reduc
tion works.
Fire clay abounds and good brick can be
made from it for S5 per 1,000, whereas Pitts
burg brick costs 523 delivered in Durango.
The oi e thus far smelted has averaged 12 to
11 per cent, while an analysis ot the slag
shows a loss of but o per cent from the concen
trates. The loss from this source at the
Cornwall tin mines is from 5 to 6 pel cent
and in Germany and Saxony from 10 to 13
per cent, so that the local company starts at
the minimum. Additional smelting furn
aces and other necessary works now in
course of erection will give the concern a
capacity of two to three tons of pig tin per
day within three months, and 12 months
hehce it is expected the output will bent the
rate of 1.500 tons ner annum. The works
are 200 miles from a railroad and the metal
hns to be transported that distance on burros
andmntes,a burro carrying 200 pounds and a
mule 300. One Mexican manages ten burros,
but it lequires three men to 20 mules. All
present at the meeting were pledged to
secrecy as to the figures ot cost
of production of pig tin, but it
is so low as to enable the company to
lay the metal down in Pittsburg at a price
that will yield a very handsome profit, and,
as the supply of ore is practically inexhaus
tible, liberal dividends are assured in the
near future.
EFFECT OF TIN PLATE MAKING.
Compared with other known tin deposits
in California and Dakota on this continent,
and those of Cornwall, Wales, Australia,
Saxony and elsewhere throughout the
world, those in Mexico which have come
into the possession of 'Pittsburg capitalists
are by long odds the most extensive and
valuable, and ought to have an important
influence in the problem of establishing a
flourishing tin plate industry in the United
States. The Durango deposits are all true
fissure veins, the ore running, as has. been
stated, from 5 to 60 per cent of metallic tin,
while the richest ore found elsewhere con
tains only from per cent to 5 per cent.
A vote of thanks to Colonel Fitzhugh was
passed unanimously. The reports' of the
Secretary and Treasurer showed that the
company was out of debt and had money in
the treasury. Only such portion of the
51,500,000 capital stock has been spld as was
necessary to pay for the property pur
chased and the exnenses of develonment. A
resolution wa3 adopted to sell 270 shares
of stock, to be distributed pro rata
(three shares each) among the present
stock holders, to pay for the additions to
the plant now in course of construction.
The option on this new stock runs till Sep
tember 10.
The meeting of the company was success
ful in every respect. The financial stand
ing of the enterprise was satisfactory to the
stockholders and the prospectsof supplying
the country with North American tin was
gratifying to those who believe in Ameri
can products for American consumers. The
operations of the company are on a strictly
business basis, however, and if the Mexican
tin should be excluded from the States
throught tariff acts, as good a market will
be found in Liverpool.
BOOM FOB LARGE BUSINESS.
Colonel Robert Fitzhugh, the general
manager of the company, was spoken with
after the meeting with regard to future
operations in the mines. He said that for
the present the output of two would be re
stricted to about two tons per day, increas
ing in tons up to 1,500 tons annually, and
extending the output just as rapidly as the
market warranted. The consumption of tin
in the United States was, he thought, about
16,000 tons each year, so that there was
plenty of room for extensive business.
The tin would be shipped to the best
market For the present the shipments
would be mado to Pittsburg. Allegheny
county alone consumed about CO tons of
tin monthly, and the company would try to
place that amount -here. There was no
reason why it should not, as the Mexican
tin was equal in grade to any other and
could be placed at as level a price."
No duty would be placed on foreign tin
until 189,1. If then the President is satis
fied that 5,000 tons of tin can be produced
in the United States within a year he is
empowered to place a duty of 4 cents a
pound on the imported article for a period
of two years. Colonel Fitzhugh does not
apprehend that this tariff will be imposed.
CAN DO "WITHOUT TARIFF.
"I don't believe," he says, "that 6,000
tons of tin will be in the way of being
placed on the market by January, 1893. I
don't think that the Englishmen who con
trol the Dakota and California mines will
think well of producing tin for that purpose.
But even if the tariff is imposed, though. 580
a ton is a heavy tax. I believe we
shall be able to do business in
the States. If we are kept out
through a high tariff, we shall find a better
market in Liverpool. The English and
German bankers in Mexico are very anxious
to buy up our tin, and the Mexican roads
' JgBJL
have made us very flattering offers for
transportation to Europe. I do not wisti to
Rive rates, but I can at least say that the
lreight to Liverpool is cheaper than the
cost to Pittsburg. So that should a high
tarmkeep us out of this country we have a
good market open'to us in England."
Colonel Fitzhugh says that the reports
concerning the disturbed character of Mexi
can life are largely overstated. He savs
the frontier and Middle States are quite
peaceable, well policed, and the people
generally orderly. The cost of labor is
low.

that Kraus- prevented him from working.
It was granted.
Presented With a Cane.
, David D. Jones was bidden farewell by
his co-workers of the Soho Copper Works
on Saturday. He has retired from his
position there to enter another field. Mr.
Grey, mnnager of the works, expressed his
regret at Mr. Jones' departure. A fellow
workmen then presented Mr. Jones with a
valuable gold-headed cane as a token of the
esteem in which he was held.

A CHILD'S LOVE FOB HER MOTHER.
She Occupies Her Cell, Sleeping on tho
Baro Stone Floor.
An incident which illustrates the strong
love of a child for its mother was brought
about by the arrest of Mrs. Annie Cooper,
of South Sixteenth and Muriel streets, yes
terday on a change of disorderly conduct.
Being without bail she was locked up in the
Twenty-eighth ward police station. She had
scarcely been there 20 minutesi when a girl,
about 10 years old, Mrs. Cooper's daughter,
called and asked for her mother.
Sergeant McShane admitted her to the
cell room to see her mother and after being
there for quite awhile told her she better go
home. She began to cry and the sergeamt
still urged her to go as he was afraid she
would catch cold sleeping on the stone floor
of the cell, as she insisted on doing"bnce be
fore when her mother was arrested. The
officer oouldn't persuade the girl to go home
and she was locked up with her mother.
THE SWISS CENTENNIAL.
Arrangements Complste for the Celebration
, at Ross Grove To-Morrow.
To-morrow will be the most important
and imposing holiday ever celebrated by
the Swiss-Americans of Pittsburg. The
day will be the six hundredth anniversary
of the founding of the independent Re
public of Switzerland, and it is proposed to
make the sixth Centennial worthy of the
oldest Republic in the world.
It is expected that thousands of visiting
Switzers will come in old-time costumes,
forming a brilliant parade, a mile or so in
length. The line of march through the
principal streets, as published inTHE Dis
patch, will be carried out, as will also the
programme of exercises at Ross' grove.
Mayor Gourley will make the English ad
dress, and good speeches in the Swiss
language and music, dancing, games and
athletic sports will complete the list of at
tractions. DESERTED BY HIS PEOPLE.
John Froby Dies Suddenly and Alone In
Ills Little Barber Shop. ,
John Proby, a colored barber of Home
stead, aged 55, died suddenly at his place of
business yesterday morning of a disease
from which he has suffered for a long time.
The suddeness of his death led to the be
lie! that he was poisoned, but this was
proven false.
The remains were buried at the expense
of the county. Rev. Father S. J. Bullion
donated a grave in St. Mary's Cemetery,
andM. J. Delaney, of Homestecd, furnished
a coffin at his own expense. Noneof Proby's
own race were at the funeral.
A NEW SrUSICAE INVENTION.
Eehr' 7-Octavo Piano-Organs.
These are the only organ made that have
a compass of seven full octaves and
that look exactly like a fine up
right piano. There are no stops in
view nor any unsightly bellows pedals,
but the instrument is worked by two
pedals exactly like those on a piano, and a
6-year-old child is able to work them with
ease. The delicacy and variety of its tones
are wonderful and the touch so light and
quick thai the most difficult piano pieces
can be executed thereon without difficulty.
It is a marvelous improvement on the com
mon parlor organ and has created a great
sensation in musical circles. The price is
not higher than that of the ordinary organ.
H. Klcber & Bro., 506 Wood street, are the
sole agents, and they invite all, whether
purchasers or not,.to call and see it. Klebcr
& Bro. are selling these wonderful instru
ments as fast as the manufacturers can fur
nish them.
Great Musical Attractions ar ii. Kleber&
Bro.'s.
Another of those wonderful "Vocalion
organs, christened by Gladstone, has been
sold by Kleber & Bro. to the Shady Ave
nue Baptist Church, East End, Pittsburg,
Pa., for use in their new and elegant church
building. This is the twentieth Vocalion
sold in this city.
The superiority and ' the beauty of the
pianos and organs sold at Klebers' throw all
others in the shade; and intelligent
musical and well-informed people pre
fer to deal at Klebers', knowing that the
choicest musical instruments such as tb.e
Stcinwav, Conoverand Opera can be had
only at Klebers', 506 Wood street. Besides
the Klebers sell at a smaller profit, and
warrant their Instruments three years longer
than any other dealer, viz: for eight years.

Captain Doubassoff, of the Russian
Nary, Says Torpedo Boats
ALWAYSBEATTflEHEAVYVESSELS
He Had Personal Experience on the Danube,
Where lie Destroyed
TURKISH MONITORS BT THEIR AID
Captain Doubassoff, ot the Russian navy,
was at the Duquesne yesterday. He stopped
over perforce, because of the accident on
the Fort Wayne road, which caused him to
miss his train. He was traveling from San
Francisco to New York, via Washington,
on his homeward way from Vancouver's
Island. "He accompanied the Czarowitch
in his recent trip around the world.
Captain Doubsssoifis a fine specimen of
manhood, standing over six feet, broad
shouldered, symmetrically built, and very
fair, with blue eyes that sparkle
as only a sailor's can. This is
his first trip to America. He had
a mission from his Government and was
returning, having accomplished it. He ex
amined the shipbuilding yards with great
interest, and was going to Washington to
inspect the navyyard there. Iike all Rus
sians, Captain Doubassoff is a linguist and
has succeeded in mastering English- Speak
ing of the modern practice of armoring bat
tle ships, he said last night:
Z.ABGE ABMORED SHIPS A MISTAKE.
"Russia has not recently made experi
ments regarding the best description of
armor for men-of-war. The plating used is
known as the compound variety, made of
steel and iron, with backing of wood. My
Iiersonal opinion regarding the utility of
arge and heavily armored snips is that they
are a mistake. In the first place the
projectile is far superior in effect to the
best defensive armor, and I think always
will be; and in the next the big ships
nre always at the mercy of the
torpedo boats. I had personal experience
ofthisinthe Russo-Turkish War of 1877,
when I surrounded and blew up several
Turkish monitors in the Danube with the
aid of torpedo boats. For coast defense
the torpedo boat and gunboat carrying a
few heavy firing guns are, in my opinion,
superior to the heavy shipsnow building."
''You think this country is wise in build
ing a navy?"
WISDOM OF BTnDrXG A SAW.
"Certainly. It is not when the enemy is
at your door you must look to your de
fenses. You cannot train seamen and offi
cers and build your ships after war hasbeen
declared. It takes years.of careful training
to bring a navy up to maritime efficiency.
I think America is building a navy at the
right time. She has nothing to undo, no
old ships to replace, and can
now construct a fleet with every
modern improvement and on .the best
lines. While this country is at peace, it is
impossible to say what complications may
lie"in the future, and I am certainly of
tho opinion this country is acting wisely in
preparing for an emergency.
"I have not had an opportunity of seeing
any of your ships on close inspection, but I
understand they are constructed on proper
line". Except that," concluded Captain
Doubassoff, smiling, "they will always be
at the mercy of torpedo boats."
A Mysterious Affair.
It is just being found out that there is a
myetery connected with "the Exposition of
1891, that when fully unfolded, will create
no small sensation. It has been carried on
so quietly that no one has suspected it and
the surprise will be correspondingly great
when the entire-plot is disclosed; excitement
will run high . when the denouement is
reached; the writer has been busy getting at
details, which in time will be made public
but at this moment it is only safe to say
that some one is going to be made very
joyous, and yet the delightful.result will be
the outcome of good hard work, and bright
intelligence, and afterwards, when it is too
late, those who will have to be classed
among the unhappy can only blame them
selves with the "exception of those who
have passed the halcyon days of 16
and they perhaps, are to be pitied. Well,
what is the mystery ? And when and by
whom will it be solved? The mystery
must remain hidden until the day the
Exposition opens, when Messrs. Hopper
Bros. & Co. will give" all. the particulars to
the school children who have not passed
the age of 16, but nothing will be tola until
that day.
