"t -1 .Tekerday was a Busy day for the poli
ticians of both parties in Pittsburg. The
Democrats were busy fixing up their fences
and preparing for the convention to-day to
cliopbC delegates to the State Conven
tion. Beside this, some of the hard
shell Democrats were clamoring for a
lull county ticket. Among the Kepublic
ans there was more life. DaUell's friends
were working all day. Yesterday Mr. Dal
rell himself went to Harrisburg "on the
quiet" to find out just exactly v hat Repub
lican clubs would be admitted iuto-the State
League. That he is confident that aU of
of them will slip in is evinced by the
rapidity with which Dalzell clubs are being
crganUed. 3r. Dalzell was backed by a
string tomblsation of Pittsburg politicians.
At Union station the crowd gathered
about the fast line looked like a Republican
State Convention. Senator Quay had run
tip Irora Beaver and subsequently left as he
iiid tor Philadelphia and Atlantic City.
Hisarrial wsa awaited by Senator Flinn,

fjrher on board, and then walked down
town. Mr. Quay, Jr , said his father was
act interfering in th matter of the Presi
dency of the Sbnte Republicau Clubs. He
dirt not think he would bring influence to
benr in favor of one or other of the candi
dates. Senator Quay said he had nothing to say
regarding the political situation. He was
goieig to Atlantic city for a few days.
Sjrgeon Major AL E. McCandless,
George Miller and 'Squire Lindsay left on
rhe same train for Harrisburg. George
filler said that at least 150 clubs would be
in line for Dalzell, and he anticipated an
easy victory for that gentleman.

GAHBLEES FLAT A LOSHTO GAME.
An Industrious Speculator Deals Out an In
ferior Kind of Immunity.
A small-sized army of skin gamblers went
out to Boss1 Grove yesterday with a variety
of sure winner snaps. Including the old re
liable shell game, pinch wheels, chuck-a-luck
lay out, etc, expecting to reap a big
harvest from tho crow d. They had paid for
their "privileges," and supposed that they
had a guarantee of immunity thrown in
gratis. EdXoppcs secured from the commit
tee In charge ofthecelebratlon the exclusive
control of the privileges for tho cane game,
striking machines, lifting machines, lung
testers and kindred instruments of torture,
with tho view of retailing them out to all
who made application. The committee soon
discovered that the grounds were swarming
with gamblers, a half dozen wheel and shell
games being established in the central part
of the grove. Upon making inquiry about
it, the committee was informed that the tin
horn fraternity had all settled with Coppes,
who had collected in some instauces as high
as $30 for a single "privilege."
Tho gams were ordered to close their
gams at once. This they did, moving
across tho run to a less crowded part of the
grove. Here they again opened no and were
doing a paying business, when a member of
the committee found them playing for
monev, and ordered them to get out of the
grounds. The celebrated Tom Flockcr was
making a very clever stake, and with a
ripe school of suckers about him refused to
obey orders. He said he had "squared"
himself with Coppes, paying $15. The com
mittee understood nira to say that he had
squared himself with tho "coppers." and
sent for Detectives Johnson and Zimmer
man. An explanation followed and then
Coppes was locked up. He admitted that he
had collected this money, but said that he
hud paid it back again when ho found
out that the games could not go. Several of
the gamblers failed to confirm this state
ment and felt very sore. Most of the gam
blers quit the game loosers. The committee
was very indignant at Coppes, and threaten
ed his arrest.

Prospects for a Lively Time in the Alle
gheny Corporations Committee.
Alle'gheny street railway? are causing an
other split in the Councils of that city. There
were a number of ordinances for feeders to
tho Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester
Traction Company Introduced in Councils a
short time ago and referred to the Commit
tee on Corporations, notwithstanding the
fact that it is desirous to have these new
roads in operation as soon as possible.Chair
man Arthur Kennedy, of the Committer on
Corporations, placed the data of the meet
ing to consider these ordinances on Septem
ber U.
Somo members of tho committee believed
that as Mr. Kcnnody was closely identified
with another sticet railway, It was only a
move to give the Pleasant Valley people
time to meet th'8 move of the opposition
road. Under the rules a majority of the
committee can call a special moeting, and
so nine members met last night and called a
meeting of the Corporations Committee for
to-morrow night. Mr. Kennedy is now In
Boston.

Successful Celebration of the Swiss
Fourth of July;
DAZZLING HISTORICAL PARADE.
The Jolly .Ewitzers Have a Very Merry
Time at Ross' Grove.
MATOE GOURLEY MAKES THE SPEECH
"Within a fortnight of Rudolph's death
(1291), it is 'recorded in the history of
Switzerland, that the three districts of XTri,
Schwyz and TJnterwalden had entered into
a perpetual league of defensive alliance, a
renewal, no do.ubt, of a previous pact, prob
ably that of 124)5. They may have met on
the Butli to swear the solemn oath which"
was to'bind them into a confederation. The
various acts of agreement were drawn
up in Latin, and the document the Magna
Charta of the Eidgenossenschaft treasured
up at Schwyz, is held in" veneration by the
whole Swiss nation.
The purpose of the Swiss-American dem
onstration yesterdav was to celebrats the
sixth centenary of the ever memorable
events recorded in that precious charter of
liberty and independence. The early trains
arriving in the city all brought delegations
and small parties of Swiss and when the
hour arrived for the parade Pittsburg and
Allegheny were swarming with them.
The procession formed on Madison ave
nue at 9 o'clock, and its attractive histori
cal features made up a combination never
before witnessed in this city. The proces
sion was headed by an escort of 30 Alle
gheny polieemen, in command of Captain
BelL Then followed a herald, or color
bearer, carrying the American flag, while
on either side of him were mounted guards
MAYORS OF BOTH CITIES PRESENT.
Kext came the Great Western Band, fol
lowed by Chief Marshal B. Caldreider and
staff of 100 men on horseback The Chief
Executives of the two cities, Gourley and
Wyman, and other orators and distin
guished guests, came next In carnages, with,
the Executive Committee of tho Swiss'
societies.. With this distinguished escort the
remainder of tho procession came along in
the following orders The Sweitzer Society
of Wheeling: the Tarentum, Etna and
SharpsbiM-g Schweizervereinsi the Swiss
French irhd Swiss-Italian Societies; Rudolph
von Habsburg and escort, mounted:
Gessler, with escort, mounted; William
Tell and the bov with the famous apple on
his head; 20 Schweitzers in old
time costumes; Stauffacher, Walter,
Fuerst and Melchtal; 22 young ladies
in an open wagon, representing
the cantons of Switzerland; Swiss larmers in
ancient costume, Second Brigade Band,
Pittsburg and Allegheny Turnvereins and
Sangerbunds, St. Bernard dogs led by monks
and hunters, followed bv Swiss Alpine
guides in costume, Helvetia Maennerchor in
costumes, Sons of Winkelried, the Sweitzer
bund. 120 Sweitzers on horseback,followedby
visiting Sweitzers and citizens. The pro
cession moved up Madison to Ohio street
and over the following line of march: Ohio
to Federil, to Sixth, to Market, to Fifth
avenue, to Smithfleld, to Liberty, to Ninth,
to Sandusky and then to the West Penn
depot, where special trains were in waiting
.to convey the celebrators to Ross' Grove.
About 3,000 men took part In the parade, and
the demonstration was creditable to the
local Swiss societies of Pittsburg and Alle
gheny, and worthy of the great occasion.
Some of the banners carried in the parade
were quite striking. One read: "Six hun
dred years ago our fathers fought forlib
ertv." "Little Switzerland the oldest
Republic; the United States the great-!
est." ivitn tne&e nowing uanners unu
a wilderness of flags, gaudy costumes,
leathers and many-colored badges, and with
patriotic music, the scene was quite Inspir
ing. The officers in charge of the parade
were It. Caldreider, Chief Marshal; Cnarlea
Pcrrot, Adj utant General; Arnold Schneider,
Assistant Adjutant General.
THE SPEAKING OP THE DAT.
Tho speech making of the day took place
soon after the arrival of the trains at Ross'
Grove. The principal address was made by
Mayor Gouiley, who, by special request,
spoko entirely in English. Commencing
w ith the scenes which led up to the forma
tion of the Swiss Republic at the death of
Rudolph, Mr. Gourley gave a brief and en
tertaining sketch of Swiss history, reciting
in some detail the more important events in
the little Republic's struggle for liberty,
concluding as follows:
Well may the sons of Switzerland celebrate the
dav which marked the birth of an everlasting
league " hich developed Into a republic on a cun
tineut ruled by Kmperort and Kings. Cherish the
memory of the laud which gae vou birth, and
amid who&e mountains the dust of your ancestors
sleep but forget not that vou are Americans, one
ami all. U o where you w ill, the world affords no bet
ter, brighter, happier homes than those found under
the protection oi the American Republic. This
land has been consecrated by the blood of heroes,
anil bvthe ereat and holy deeds of peace. Its wide
extent has become one ast temple and hallowed
a luin, sanctified by the prayers and blessings or
the persecuted of every sect, and the wretched or
all nations. This, too. Is aland of libertj , land
of iff age; land orbenedlctions.
Mayor Gourley was followed by Rev. Mr.
ILuigartner, Dagobert Deucher and Max
Schamberg, all of whom made speeches in
the Swiss language, that were well re
ceived. The afternoon was given up to social en
joyment, and sports, (lancing, baseball and
bowling leading the attractions.
PATRIOTISM SET TO MUSIC.
A special stand, handsomely decorated
with American and Swiss flags and shields,
had been erected for the orators, and during
the afternoon a quintette from the Helvetia
Manneichor rendored a number
of patriotic selections, which drew
thousands of people about them and
elicited -hearty applause. There wero
fully 10,000 peeple on the grounds, nearly all
of whom seemed to bo either Swiss or Ger
man, or of Swiss or German descent. The
amber beverage of the Fatherland was
there guloie, and they quaffed it as nectar,
while the grove lang with laughtev, song,
transport and cheer. The big crowd wus
happy and good-natured, and nothing oc
curred to, in the least, mar the pleasure
of the celebration. The athletic sports did
not amount to much, and it wus not the in
tention that they should. Everybody was
too busy merrymaking to participate in dry,
mathematical competitions.
The celebratiori was originated by the
Helvetia Society, and was held under the
auspices of that organization, though great
assistance was rendered by the other two
Swiss societies of tho city "The Sons of
Winkelried" and "The Sweitzer Bund."

James Davidson Tries to End His Life
With a Piece of Tin Turnkey Lauri
moro stops Him Just in Time Was
Tired of Living.
James B. Davidson, a son of Secretary
Davidson, of tne .Humane Society, at
tempted suicide yesterday morning by cut
ting his throat with a piece of tin in the
Central station. Davidson was arrested
Saturday night on a charge of disorderly
conduct. At the Sunday morning hearing'
he was sentenced to 30 days to the work
house. Prisoners are never taken to the
workhouse on Sunday, but are held over
until Monday. When It was time to get the
prisoners ready for the trip yesterday morn
ing Turnkey Laurimore let Davidson out ot
his cell Into tho corridor. Ha then turned
to release somo others, wheffhe heard a pe
culiar noise, and turning round, found
Davidson tearing at his throat. The blood
was streaming down his clothes.
The turnkey instantly grasped the pris
oner, and after a struggle, succeeded In get
ting away from him a piece or tin with
which lie was doing the cutting. An exam
ination was made and it w as found that
D.ividson had succeeded in cutting three
ugly gashes in his neck, but none ot them
were deep enough to be serious. The piece
of tin was secured by tearing up his meat
plate which bad been brought in at break
last time. A short time before the attempt
Davidson asked Turnkey Laurimore to lend
him a knife, saying as a pretense that he
wautod to cut up some meat, as ihis teeth
were bad.
This request was denied him. "When
questioned, Davidson said, he wanted to end
his life, as he was tired of, being Imprisoned,
having served a greater part of his time in
either the jail or workhouse. He said he
would have made the attempt earlier, only
he was afraid of tho man in the cell with
him. He was taken to the workhouse.
MONDAY'S HOSPITAL BEC0BDS.
Minor Accidents Which Occurred In the
Two Cities Yesterday.
There were but few accidents in the two
cities yesterday and they were all of a minor
nature. The list is as follows:
Lowsy Engineer A. Lowrywas brought
In from Fort Pitt on tho Steubenville ex
press last night. He was running a freight
train, which backed into a car near Fort
Pitt bridge. Four cars were derailed and
No. 6, dno to arrive at 6:55 p. jr., was detained
two hours. Lowry, when the car was run
down, jumped through the cab of his en
gine, injuring his band and head. On his ar
rival at Union depot he was conveyed to his
home at 6 Pastor street, this city.
Martiji Golbrow Martin, aged 28 years,
had his face crushed yesterday on Manhat
tan street by a falling stone. He was taken
to tho Allegheny General Hospital.
Reed Isaac Reed, aged 68 years, of the
firm of Reed A Kreps, boat builders, wa3
seriously injured yesterday afternoon by a
fall from a dock into the bottom of a boat at
the foot of McAuloy street, Allegheny.
Cobrigak Last evening a 13 year old boy
named Corrigan was thrown from a wagon
on Forty-eighth street,and was badly cut
about the head and face.
THE PICKPOCKETS "WEBB THERE.
A Traveling Man Relieved of His Watch by
a Thimble-Rigger.
Martin Roberts had his pocket picked of
$17 while on a excursion train to the Swiss
celebration at Ross' grove yesterday. He
reported the matter to the Allegheny offi
cers before the train reached tharove, but
they were unable to locate the thief.
Shortly after arriving at Boss station A.
Burringer, a traveling salesman of Alle
gheny, had a gold watch stolen from him by
a thimble-rigger. Ho started up the unfre
quented routo to the grove, via the old
mansion, and says that while going up the
hill a man grabbed his watch, jerking it
from the chain. The ring which goes
through the stem of the watch was found,
it was bent until almost straight, showing
that the watch had been pulled from the
chain. Detectives Johnson and Zimmerman
went to work on the case at once. From
close inquiry the suspicion was aroused
that the thimble-rigger had either "jollied"
Burringer out of tho watch or taken it in a
scuffle at the end of a dispute.
ANEW POTATO BUG
That Is Annoying Farmers and Annihi
lating Their Crops.
Farmers who were congratulating them
selves that the Colorado beetle had.gono.eiit
of business or had -been dispossessed by the
"lady bug," are again in the dumps in some
localities. Another bug of some kind, about
half an inch in length, has made its appear
ance within a few days on late potato vines
and the rapidity with which they devour
them is astonishing. Whether they have at
tacked the vines in time to destroy the crop
remains to bo seen, but fields that were
luxuriant a week ago present a forlorn ap
pearance, the leaves being gone nnd nothing
left but naked stalks.
The insect is Jet black and can fly, though
it is not the same that ravaged potato crops
20 years or more ago. Its advent has been
so sudden that many farmers have not yet
discovered their loss. It is alert and as a
feeder -can discount the Colorado beetle.
The bug was submitted to a number-of peo
ple yesterday, but none of them could tell
its name. None were entomologists, how

MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS
Miss Mary A. O'Eeilly, Deputy State
Factory Inspector, came into the city last
night and registered at the Monongahela
House. She came here from Philadelphia
to look over some territory that is said to
have been more or less neglected since the
retirement of Miss Leslie about six or eight
month? ago.
Miss O'Keilly's district is one-half of
Philadelphia county, but previous to
Kobert "Watchorn's departure for Europe a
short time ago, he told her that there was a
portion of Pittsburg needing inspection and
requested her to attend to it personally.
"Whether or not there are establishments
here in which the law has been violated and
the firms complained against, Miss O'Eeilly
does not know. She will begin this morn
ing to make a personal inspection of all the
factories, workshops, stores, mills and ware
houses where ten or more women and chil
dren are employed, and all cases where the
law is violated will receive her personal at
tention. Miss O'Eeilly was seen last night
at the Monongahela House by a Dispatch
reporter.
THE FACTORY LAW A BENEFT.
The factory law is proving a great "bene
fit to the people of this Commonwealth.
Hundreds of children who should never
have gene to work at such an early age,
have been removed from factories and
stores of all kinds. Wonderful Im
provements have been made in fjie
sanitary arrangements for the benefit of
women. Merchants who were too apt to
take advantage of the yonng have been edu
cated up to more humane ideas.
"We had little trouble in seiftinng an ob
servance of the law. In fact, the work has
been filled with disappointment in this re
spec.. It has been too easy. In nearly all
cases the employees needed tobebut showed
the law and Its l equirements in order to have
It adhered to. The greatest difficulty we are
meeting with now is an attempt at
deception on the part of firms when chil
dren are found employed underage. For In
stance, we flndalactory containing 0 chil
dren employed under 12 years of age.
The firm, knowing that a record is made
In the State Department, and desiring
to have the record against them as low as
possible only reports 40 or 50. But the busi
ness oi the deputies is to learn If the correct
number is reported, and all attempts at
fraud are generally discovered.
SOME INFORMATION WITHHLD.
"Can you estimate approximately the
number of children that have been dis
charged under the provisions of the new
law?" was asked.
"I should not bo allowed to If I could.
That Information belongs to tho State, but I
dare say it would be Interesting to the read
ers of The Dispatch to know how
much good the law has done.
I can say that the general effect
of the act since it has been in force
has been excellent. The semi-monthly pay
and flre-escape laws have been added to
our jurisdiction, which increases our duties
considerably. In the former we are com
pelled upon the complaint of our citizens
that a violation has been committed to pros
ecute." Miss O'Reilly called at the headquarters
of D. A B. K. of L. last night and had a con
sultation with Master Workman Dempsey.
She will see him again this morning, before
commencing her tour.
N0THIHO WHATEVEB 15 IT.
Sir. Abbott Says the Reports of Changes In
Carnegie Companies Are Mot True.
The statements revived in a morning paper
yesterday respecting'alleged changes in the
management of the H. C. Frick Coke Com
pany and other companies in the Carnegie
Association are without any foundation in
fact. Rumors of such changes being on
foot wore printed in a Scottdalo paper two
weeks ago, but on investigation here were
found to be worthless.
Chairman W. L Abbott, of Carnegie,
Phipps & Co., made a positivo denial of tho
statements yesterday. He said that Mr.
Frick was out of town, and that neither he,
Mr. Abbott, nor bis associates had any
knowledge of these changes. They could
hardly be true, he said, without their having
some cognizance of them.
General Secretary G. B. Bo3worth was seen
in the afternoon. "There is not a word of
truth in that story, and I want you to say
that there is not the slightest foundation for
such a rumor," he said, excitedly.
OBJECTS TO THELETTEE.
An Agent of a Granite firm Sues Thomas
Hodges for Libel.
Thomas F. Hodges, of the Builders' Gazette,
is under bail to answer a charge of malicious
mischief before Alderman McMasters. The
information in this case was made by T. W.
Haus, Pittsburg agent of the Hallowell Gran
ite Woiks at Hallowell, Mo.
Haus alleges that Ilodgcs wrote a letter, a
copy of which is attached to the informa
tion, which libeled him to the proprietors of
the Hallowell Granite Works. The letter
states that Haus had made contracts for ad
vertising with Hodges and the Builder?
Gazette amounting to $23 75. Hodges wanted
to know whether Haus really was the agent
of the company which bo claimed to repre
sent; if he was the company was asked to
remit the amount of the bills or see that
Haus paid them.
COLORED MEN OK BECK.
The Places of Vesuvius Strikers Being
Rapidly filled.
Yesterday morning the Vesuvius strikers,
who were so confident .Saturday that 3Ir.
Moorhead could not secure men enough to
run bis puddling department, wero sur
prised to see 86 colored men march into the
mill and take possession of their former
places. Disappointment, anger and sur
prise reigned. Some were so discouraged
that thoy immediately applied for work.
It is reported that the firm has nearly 100
more colored pnddlers in reserve ready to
be taken into the mill at any time. Secre
tary Madden, of the Amalgamated Associa
tion, stated last evening that nothing new
had been reported concerning tho strike,
except that some colored men had been put
on duty.

George -W. Bryan, formerly manager of
the South Thirteenth street steel works of
the Oliver Iron and Steel Company, left last
night for Ashland, Ky., where he will as

presents yesterday.
Completing the Road.
The Turtle Creek Valley railroad from
Stewarts station to MurraysvlUe is about
completed. The people of Murraysvilte and
adjoining towns are preparing to celebrate
the opening of the road. Part of the pro
gramme will be a free excursion over the
new line. The road will be extended to Del
mont and will open up a rich mineral and
gas territory.
A Combination Scheme Abandoned.
The once proposed combination of wrought
Iron pipe manufacturers has fallen through
entirely. The idea has been abandoned be
cause, it is alleged, the scheme was given
too much newspaper prominence. A meet
ing of manufacturers will bo held shortly,
but the question or trust will not be brought
up. Trade is picking up. Sales in the West
are reported as unusually large.
No Plate Glass Trust.
Prominent plate glass manufacturers deny
the report that the meeting last week was
called for the purpose of forming a trust.
They say the meeting was merely to discuss

The Window Glass Manufacturers Are Not
Beady Yet to Resume.
The window glass houses should have
started np to-day, but, owing to the dispute
over the scale, there is no prospect of a re
sumption. Somo firms are making extensive repairs,
and when these have been completed it is
thought tho question of wages will soon be
settled and peace will reign supreme. It was
reported tint there was a'conierenceyestor
day, but this proved to be without founda
tion. The Impression now Is that as soon as
each manufacturer is ready to operate the
question or wages will n6t stand in the way
long.

A STEANGB LODGER IN A STATION HOUSE
A peculiar specimen of migratory human
ity asked for lodging at the Twenty-eighth
ward police station last night. He gave his
name as George Bitz, and told Sergeant Mc
Quaide a long and interesting-story of the
experiences of the last 23 years of his life.
In appearance he was unlike the 'ordinary
run of applicants for police station beds.
His clothes were as neat and clean as the
ordinary citizen who walks the streets
daily. He is 76 years of age. Over his
shoulder, snspended on the end of a cane
he carried a large valise, which he guarded
with great care. He is 6 feet tall, some
what bent, but strong and hearty look
ing. To the Sergeant he said he had spent the
past four days walking from Wheeling, W.
Va., to Plttsburgcovering the last 18 miles
yesterday. The Sergeant had seen him pass
through Temperanceville about 6 o'clock
last evening, and on account of this
was inclined to believe the story. A
pair of dusty shoes proved additional evi
dence in corroboration of the tale. On being
asked what was In his satchel, Bitz opened
it and displayed a full eqnipment of cook
ing utensils, some clothes and trinkets. He
told his story in good English.
"I am not content," said he, "to stay in
one place any length of time. As a conse
quence, I have strolled all over the United
States. I am acquainted with every
cittr of importance in the country,
and it would require a smart
man -to get me lost. The life
is rough and to some would be unbearable,
but to me it Is the only happy way of exist
ence and I believe I would die If compelled
to remain in one place very long. "
"It was "some time in the '50s when I came
from Germany to America. I was young
and energetic and felt confident' of making
a future. Soon after arriving I engaged in
the contracting business in New
York. My first ambition was to secure
enough money to bring my wlfa
and two little children over from the old
country. I could have brought them by
steerage, but preferred paying for first-class
fassages when I bad made money enough,
was lonely without them, and when finally
I was in condition to send them the required
amount 1 was the happiest man in America.
They started, but in mid-ocean were over
taken by a storm and perished in the waves
my little boy and girl 'and their sweet
mother.
It was nine weeks.before we got definite
information concerning the wreck. Even
after others had given np all hope
I did not despair. But finally there
was no longer any doubt. Work
was impossible for me. I had nobody to
work for. Drink came as a deceptive relief
from sorrow, and my money vanished, and
there was nothing to do then, and I became
a tramp. Yes, sir, I'm a tramp, and 1 will
be one nntil I die. I try to keep
away from the seashore as much
as possible for I hate the waves and feel like
cursing them for devouring my treasures,
and when I hear the roar of the breakers it
always brings to my mind a vivid picture of
a shipwreck. I can see three white agonized
faces appealing to me for aid, and the agony
is more than I can bear.
