Cctfressmw-EItct Stewart's Vitws en the Dalicll BoMnson FLrbt. If Democrats love fight they had their fiU of it yesterday. The conventions iu the various legislative districts elected dele gates to the State Convention. There did not seem to be much thought given as to who would be chosen, the whole fight be ing made on the local issue of whether the Democratic party would nominate a successor for the late District Attorney Johnston. It is claimed that there has been an agreement between "Wil liam Brennen and Clarence Burleigh whereby Harry Beltzhoover will be re tained as County Detective if no Democrat is placed in the field against Burleigh .o Eistrict Attorney. Whether there was or not, that was the only subject that marred the serenity of the various conven tions. Iu every one the matter was brought up and just as promptly throttled. The hardest fieht ti as in the Fifth district, where "William Brennen and William Eear don measured sn ords, and it is still a toss tip to tell which won. In the midst of the excitement the convention was adjourned and no one knows the result of the fight. In many of the conventions resolutions approving Governor Pattison's administra tion were passed. They also strongly fav ored G rover Cleveland as the Presidental candidate for lHili Outside of the convention the city was rather ouict politically, sai-c for the pres ence of Congressman Stewart and the return of John W. Morrison. noi.TZMAN itri.nu the koost. The Democrats of the Kighth Legislative district opened proceeding by calling their contention to order in Select Council cham ber. Squire Holtrniau, of Uraddock, was Chairman. Mr. Skelley,ot McKeesrort,tried to ru.h through a resolution lor the nomi nation of a District Attorney, but it was knocked in the bend. The delegates elected were E. V. Kellv. of Braddock, Joseph Skelley, of McKeeport, and John Collins, of crona. The next convention was that of the Sixth legislative district, which met at Kxcelsior Hall. SouthMde. Laurence Pagan was Chairman and Michael O'Keefe, of Mans field; P. F. Hannigan, of Chartiers; Charles Smith and Edward Burke, of Homestead, and Henrv Uovd, of Jefferson township, w-ere chosen as delecates. A resolution for- a Democratic District Attorney was also buried in this convention. I he convention of the First Legislative district, of Allegheny, was held last night in the Jacksonian Club rooms. Henry Boker was Chairman and Frank Fertig and John Patterson Secretaries. E. A. Bobinson, August Freinstein and Herman Kunkle were chosen delegates to the State Conven tion. Resolutions approving of Governor Pattison's administration and indorsing G.-over Cleveland for President were unan imously paed. A resolution to nominate a Democrat for District Attorney was laid on the table. KEEXAS TI.ATS A LOSIXG CARD. The Democrats, Second district, met in Common Council chamber and were called to order hv Henry Meyer, Esq. Lee Frasher wr.sroudc le-iuanent Chairman and T.J. Jieenan, br . and Victor P.iultn Secretaries. There were two contests, and the committee appointed to adjust t':e trouble that threat ened to arise awarded the seats to Patrick Mullen, ovei J. II. Irwin, in the Third dis trict of the Fifth ward, and to James Tracy. oi'crJohn Millhni., in the Sixth district of tho sixth ward. 3Ir. Sullivan denounced the action as Democrat!-: nil" rule. The Democrats elected were Henry Meyer, Esq John McClu-lcj an I William Cullers mid were also aninstructed A resolution indorsing the administration of Governor Paulson was indorsed Air. Keens- n then created a little breeze by offering a resolutioa asking that if the County Committee cannot fill their ticket tlioy indorse the strafcjhtout nomina tions ot Kitzsimmons and Fettcnnan for Ji.djres and Porter for District .Attorncv Jlr. Keenan held the floor foi some time in a tpecch laudatory oi those candidates and would not lie sat upor, but when lie learned the sentiment was against the resolution he -withdrew it, and the convention adjourned. The Third Legist itive Convention mot in 6eleot Council Chamber at 7:13 o'clock, and was. called to older by K. A. Campbell, who was made permanent chairman, and Daniel tiallagher, secretary- Tlieie were no contests, and Dennis J. Boyle, James Tallon and S. II. Gibson were elected dele gates to the State Convention by acclama tion, evi:ini uiiicj pi:i?-uii iiuiuiimiuu re fusing to be considered candidate. Jlichael Ennls took the floor to say that lie bad been a member of the County Com mittee for ton years and bad been a dele pate to the County Convention when the resolution authorizing a committe to U vacancies was adopted. Since that tlmo a vacancy had been ciucd by the untimely death of the worths Democratic District Attorney, "but no person had been named as a. Demo cratic candidate to succeed him, and it w a- not right that s-ucli was the case. He de manded that a candidate be named, and his constituents wanted a candidate. They had told him th:t unless a Democrat was put; up for that office they would support the etralgbt-out nominee. BOVT.E bl-ZAKS HIS MIVD. ' James Whalen introduced a resolution, Thatit is the tense of this convention that tho Democratic paity place in nomination a candidate for District Attorney," which was raid, and when a motion was made to adopt it Dennis Boyle took the floor and said: Mr. Chairman, I did not intend to speak en tins matter, but that resolution is wrong and should not be tolerated in this connec tion. IVe aro all Democrats. That resolu tion is the result of :-. let of blather in the jAztdcr. I was interviewed by ft .Leader re porter a week ago and declared mvself to biro in favor of hr.vinga Democratic candi date tor District Attorney, but not a word of that iuierview wub printed. To day that paper comes out in an article quoting me lalsely almost in every word, and they make an interview with me to &uit their own ends. Wo know our Business, nnd the statements published in that ixiper are an insult to the last Demo cratic convention and to every good Demo crat in this county. We don't need n Kepub lican sheet like that to tell us what to do, and I call on this convention, don't let such n 'sheet dictate to us what to do. Their motive is selfish, and we want nono of them." This speech was greeted with cheers, and after the resolution was hiid on the table the convention adjourned. The delegates were not instructed. The fourtli Legislative Convention met at the lialston School lastnight and had a short session. Alderman McKeuna presided and J. A. Donavan was Secretary. he delegates elected ere Dr. C. C Wylie, Alderman John Burns and J. J. JlcCUbe. They were not in- htructed. Tho Fifth Legislate e Convention was called to order in Common Council Chamber, -with William J. Brennen, Chairman; John O'Leary and George 3. Bleicbner, Secre taries. There were no contests and the of ficers were made permanent The follow ing ticket was presented lor the 10 delegates to the State Convention, nnd the nominees were, with one or two exceptions, unaui n.ously elected: W. J. Breunon, A. Fraucn jieim, H. T. Morris. John B. Larkin, Ad Schncsslcr, Henry Bcrger. A. Finch, E. S. Kennedy, John Collins and P. Foley. Attorney William Iteardon offered a reso lution that created quite a scene tn tbo con vention and for a tlmo there was considera ble excitement. Tho resolution, in a long preamble, recited that a vacancy bad been caused since the last Democratic County Convention in tho offlco of District Attor ney and no provision had been made for niacin--in nomination a candidate to fill L that vacancy, "although the conditions aro I ...... utl .r.i..lil. 4n. Iia alflnMnn ff n uuuauaiivuituiauig -v .. .....w.. Democrat at this time." Therefore, re solved that It was the senso of the nTth Leg islative Convention that a convention should be called to nomlnato a candidate without further dolayfa copy or the resolu tions to bo forwarded to tho Democratlo County Committee. IJEBNKAJ" AS A SPEAICER BRED. Chairman Brennan promptly ruled tho resolution out of order, and amid much ex citement Mr. Beardon appealed. Chairman Brennan vacated the chair iu favor of Thomas Mullen to argue the appeal. Mr. Koardon argued strongly in favor of the resolution. It was not a demand on tho Countv Committee to name a candidate, but simply a suggestion to them, and It should tie adopted ana acceu upon, uccuu&u u u kuw Democrat were nominated lie would be elected. - , , Mr. Brennen took the ground that this convention had only certain duties to per form and this resolution was entirely foreign to them aud therefore, out of order. Replylug to Mr. Rcardon ho Intimated that Beardon was a poor sort of a Democrat who the chances wore ninety-nine out of a bun dled would not go near the polls on election day. as that was his past record and it seemed strange that he would bob-up with such a llvelv interest In his party at this tlmcThere was no justification, Cnalrmiin Brennen said, lor any one to assume that there would be no Democratic nominee In the Hold He had authority to appoint the committee on vacancies and he had waited on tho advice of representative Democrats of tho comity, until the straighouts had fixed np their places before proceeding further. Tnere were other considerations in view, which it would not be good policy to reveal at this time, that covered this mat ter and yet were Jar. beyond tho question now raised and for which there had been a delay, but there was still plenty of time. Mr. Brennen then devoted some remarks to the straightouts, which was, he .said, a combination of friends of a law firm on Fourth nvenue, one of whom had a grievance against tho Republican party, and. In order to get even, had boomed, this movement, with a "view to defeating his party, and had pnt his law partner on the com Linn tlon's ticket for a catsDaw, and ex pected the Democrats to help them pull the chestnuts out of tho fire. Wnatever is to be done, said Mr. Brennen, will be done well by the Vacancj Committee, and will be done for the best interests of the Democratio party. A VEKY T-NIQUE SETTLEMENT. There was a call for a vote on tho appeal, while a dozen members were on their feot demanding recognition. The Chair decided that only the Chair and the appellant had a right to speak on the appeal, and then amid great confusion a vote was taken and the appeal was sustained. The resolution was then before the meeting, and after consider able wrangling was voted upon and the Chair declared it defeated. J. F. Miller, who had been ably assisting Mr. Kcaidot and others in their fight for tho resolution, then called for a reconsideration of the vote by winch the resolution was defeated, and on a call of yeas and nays the reconsideration w as defeated by a voteof 4 to 17. Tho meet ing then adjourned. Congressinan-electStewart, who la in the city, is quite pronounced in his criticism of Dalzell and Robinson. He is of the opinion that the striic for the leadership of the League of Republican Clubs Is becoming so bitter that it will result In serious injury to the party. Ho fays that both men have their eyes upon Senator Quay's shoes, and are working for the control of party reins with that end in view. Colonel Stewart is also much disappointed that the State Conven tion did not openly indorse Blaine's candi dacy, and regards the failure to do so as bad pollry The Thirteenth Ward Independent Repub lican Club met at the Thirteenth ward school house last night. T. J. Gatewood was elected President, IL H. Brown Vice-Presi-dentjJoseph Staunton Secretary and F. Col lins Treasurer. .J. William Gatewood was endorsed for Council and D. S.

He is much pleased with the way his canvass is progressing and says the Legislature should designate the State Depositories. A NEW PETITIOJf NEEDED. Residents or "Ward Street Have Their Im provements Delayed by a Slight Error Large Number of Bills Recommended to Councils. The Committee on Public Works met yes terday afternoon and affirmatively recom mended to Councils a large number of sewer and street improvement ordinances. Cap tain Wiimot. Ross Black and several other gentlemen interested in the improvement of Ward street and McKee place were before the committee with a request that some thing be done so that the street can be graded and paved. Some time ago an ordinance was sent to Councils from the committee provid ing for the grading and paving of Ward street from Frazier to Bates streets, but it was then found that the name of the princi pal part of Ward street had been changed to McKee place, and consequently tho ordi nance was void. In this predicament the property owners were at sea ns to what course to pursue. The committee decided that the only legal way ontof the difficulty would be that a new petition from the ma Joriiyot the property owners andproporlv nannng the streets be piesented to Councils. ine delegation ot citizens left with that un derstanding and will have a new petition ready for tho next regular meeting of Coun cils, on September it. Ordinances recommended were as follows: For sewers on Larimer avenue, from Broad to Station streets, Thirty-third street, fiom Webster avenue to Two-mile Run; Fifth avenue, from Bolton to Solio streets: Ella street, from Friendship avenue to Liberty street; Howe and Hadman streets, from Dnnstou avenue toMaisbunu street; Franks town avenue, from Lincoln to Fifth avenues; Mulbery alley, from Sixteenth street Schneinhart's property; Aurclia street, from Denniston avenue to Lnndwelir street; Forbes str.-et, from Maurice to Brady streets: Hampton street, from Xegley to Highland avennes: Mulberry alley, lrom Twenty-sixth to Tw cntv-sevenih streets: Shakespeare street and Rcintz alley, trom Bun avenue to Landnehr street: Hamilton uveilue. from Tioga street to the city line; Junctt; street, Xeuiaallej and Renfrew street, from Shet land street to Xegley's Run; Old Ruu, from Filth to Denniston avenues.

PITCHFORK AND HATCHEI Tho TJgly "Weapons Used by Two Hostlers Yesterday. Michael Castor nnd Jacob Risbeck, host lers at the Homewood race track, got into a quarrel in tho stable yesterday morning and during tho fight which followed both mou were badly used up. The men quarreled over some work, when Risbeck struck Cas tor over the head with a pitchfork. Castor picked up a hatchet and dealt Risbeck a blow on the back with the sharp edge, inflict ing a gash about three inches long. Risbeck had the wound dressed, -after which he went before Magistrate Hynoman and entered suit against Castor for lolonious assault and battery. Castor was arrested aud held for a hearing to-morrow afternoon. FOUGHT AN OFFICES And Got Badly Used Dp as a Result of His Pugnacity.

The Conference Yesterday on the Window. Scale Adjourned. BOTH SIDES WILLING TO FIGHT. Protection BeEtores a Long-Lost Industry to Pittslurg. TIIE ELBA KOX WORKS iff OPERATION Nearly 10,000 window-glass workers who should have returned to work yesterday after the usual two months' rest, were dis appointed, and as matters appear now, there are no indications of a single factory in the United States starting up within the next month at the earliest. The final con ference that might have settled all differ ences between the manufacturers and the men took place yesterday afternoon accord ing to appointment, bat it failed in bringing about an understanding and the struggle over the demands for a S per cent increase for the tending boys is now on. The men say they will not withdraw their demands; nor can they even though they would, for the society has molded their policy -and the conference committee has nothing to do but insist on the 5 per cent advance and nothing else. The manufac turers are equally firm in their threat not to operate a factory this year if they are forced to increase the cost of production farther by advancing the wages of any por tion of their employes. COULDN'T COMB TO TERMS. They were willing to withdraw their de mands for a reduction of 10 per cent and settle the wages question upon last years' terms, but this did not satisfy the men, and the conference adjourned without date. The men say the demands of the manufacturers were only made to be withdrawn for effect; to gain public sympathy; but theirs were made to bo granted and they will stay out until they are granted. The workers' com mittee has not the power to withdraw their demands, without a vote of the association, and the latter can only order it done by a vote of the entire membership, which could not be taken in much less time than six weeks. Hence a settlement of the trouble mavnot be expected earlier than October 10, If then. A STATEMENT BT MR. LOEFPLER. After the conference adjourned yesterday Mr. William Loeffler furnished the follow ing statement lor publication: "At.the wages conference held July 31, it became apparent that the manufacturers and workers were too far apart in their views to reach a settlement. Therefore a sub-committee consisting of Messrs. Chambers, Hart and Loeffler for the manu facturers and Eberhart, Winter and Swearer lor the workers, was appointed for the pur pose ot considering whether they could not suggest a compromise basis, In which event they were to call the general committee together. ' "For that purpose this sub-committee met last week and adjourned to meet to-day. They met in the office of R. C. Schmertz & Co., Limited, and after a comparatively short session adjourned without' date. At the meeting last week the manufacturers, in a spirit of harmony, withdrew their demand ror a 10 per cent reduction and agreed to pay last year's wages, the workers having agreed to recommend some changes in some of the rules and usages. At to-day's meeting the workers' committee was to report whether they would withdraw rhe demapd for the gatherers' advande. This they positively refused to do, and also recalled their con sent to the change of some or the rules which had been agreed to by both parties at the last meeting. Tho workers' committee cliam that in former years they bad author ity to make the best settlement they could, but that this year their hands are tied. They have arbitrary instructions from their asso ciation to fight for tbo advance. A MANUFACTURER'S VIEWS. "The manufacturers stated that they have all along cheerfully paid tho high wages of the workers, as was evidenced by tho fact that the manufacturers paid 5 per cent ad vance In settlement of wages in the fall of 1837 and again 5 per cent advance In 1833, but that the limit ot cost has been reached and that tho situation does not permit another Increase. The manufacturers in the various meetings pointed to the humiliating spec tacle of about 1,209,100 boxes being imported yearl y, a disgrace to both manufactui ers and workers, and this condition of affairs exists to a great extent through the in ability of the American manufacturer to make glass cheap enough, as both very high wages and rules and usages combine to in crease the cost of production in this country. "The workers made no effort to contradict the arguments, and simply stated that all they had to say is, that they must insist on the advance as per ins tractions. The manu facturers stated there would not be any trouble to agree on rules if wages could be agreed on. llad a settlement bean made to day most or the factories in the country would have been ready to start by the 10th or Mth, but even If the workers will with draw their demand eventually, no settle ment can be made for seven weekB, as the workers' committee states it takes that long ueiore a vote oi rue association couio. oe taken to reconsider the demand." NOTHING NOW TO Da "Well, what will the manufacturers dot" was asked. "Xothing," replied Mr. Loeffler. "There's no reason why they should bo In a hurry about starting up, and they will simply allow the factories to remain idle." 0 "Will there be no effort to operate with non-union men!" ".None whatever. It will be a game of freezeout and the side that can "hold out the longest will win. The men claim they can remain idle longer than we can We deny their statement, and it only remains to be seen which can stand the pressure the long est. There is not one of the manufacturers thinking of starting np, nor -will they until this question Is settled." An effort was made last evening to see either President Ebcrhardt or Secretary Cake, but neither of them was at the work ers headquarters on'the Soutbsldc after the conference last evening, nor were they at their homes until a late hour. SOME HEAVY 1MPB 0VEMENTS. The New P. & L. E. Line Along the Valley May Be Completed Tills Fall. Double tracking the P. & L. E. R. R. will be completed, it Is thought, this year. The old road followed tho general line of the bills, while the new follows that of the val ley. Among the expensive and heavy improve ments made are in building several viaducts amounting in length to 2,000 leet and averag ing 50 feet in height; a three-span bridge 311 feet long over tho Beaver river aud a five span bridge 335 feet long over the Shcnango.

A report of jthe membership and finances of the Order of Railway Telegraphers has just been issued, showing that there are over 10 COO in good standing. The accumu lated property of the organization is valued at $15,000. It has cash on hands amounting to $10,0v0, nnd in case or necessity could raise trom $5,000 to $25,000 inside or two weeks. "Will Begin "Work To-day. Deputy State Factory Inspector, Miss O'Reilly who cumo here Monday evening, will begin her inspection or local factories workshops and stores. Sho has beenlgwalt ing to see S. H. Baker, In whose district sho expects to work, but who has been absent from the city for a few days. Selling Preferred Stock. The United States Glass Company has de oided to sell 5,000 shares of Its preferred stock In order to provido a working capital. The value of this stock is $500,000. About naif of it has already been subscribed ror, and the remainder is In the bands of Robin son Brothers. Bottle Bouses Resuming. The bottle houses of D. O. Cunningham and Thurscn & Co. were put In operation yesterday and fires will be started Jn the factory of Cunningham Co., Ltm., to-day. It is thought all the bottle bouses will bo in operation inside of ten days. ' CABNEGLE AND HIS COKE. Leading Some to Suppose There May Be Trouble Ahead. Then has been some talk among. iron- and eteel brokers as to the significance to be at tached to the unusually large stock of coke yarded at Homestead and Braddock. The policy pf the Carnegie Association in assem bling this largo stock of cokahas been attri buted in some quarters to fear of another season of Idleness in the region. Informa atlon from that quarter points to agitation among the workers toward higher wages. A labor leader, wellknown in the region, was in town last week and In the course or conversation with a broker, he said that the men were quietly organizing toward the end or striking for higher wages at no dis tant date. This is not credited by those immediately Interested In coke operations. The trade has been in poor condition for some time ami although It Is picking up, tq&re is no reason why additional ovens should be fired. Not more than 60 per cent of- the ovens In this district are now in operation. Another view taken of the situation Is that the Friok Coke Company has taken advan tage of the dull season to lay in a stock for the two-fold purpose of guarding against idleness in the region, and of amassing a supply during the dull season, and while coke was cheap, so. as to bo able to supply tho general market when trade becomes better in consequence of a'briskor demand. THEY WANTED TO C0NFEB. President Barnes Says the Bricklayers Asked For a Meeting. President Barnes of the Master Builders' Exchange, said yesterday that the brick layers' asked for a conference, and he in formed them that when they conld come to him willing to withdraw their demands for $4.50 a day be would confer with them. In regard to the Mellon job in tbo East End Mr. Barnes said no contractor could accept the Job and pay his men more than $3 a day. He claimed further that the men who are doing the work are using sand dug from the cellars. The bricklayers are not allowing them selves to grow discouraged however. . Thev claim to be getting along very well with GO houses belonging to the Mellon estate and. as soon as the new Builders' Exchange is organized tbey will be able to take larger contracts and more of them. It is now decided to hold a meeting Friday evening in K. of L. Hall ror the purpose or organi zing the rival Builders' Exchange. A BESTOBEO INDUSTRY. Local Blanufacturers Enjoying a Boom In Cotton Ties. The cotton tie Industry is being restored to Pittsburg at a very rapid rate. Never in the history of the industry has such a quan tity been produced as is now .being turned at afewof the local mills. At Painters' mill In the East End, three mills are in operation. Three turns are on in each mill and the pro duct averages 1,230 bundles a day. Lindsay A McCutcheon. of Allegheny, and a number or other local firms have on bands large orders for ties to put np this year's crop, and they are busy filling them. Some firms are now making ties that never made them before. The present tariff is credited with having restored the industry. During the Cleveland administration while the duty was 35 per cent advalorem, none or the local firms made any pretense at making cotton ties, with the exception or Painter's, and their output was limited. Since then a specific duty has been added and the im ports have been reduced. AMMONIA INSTEAD OF STEAM. A Local Company Organized to Use a Novel Invention. A meeting or the stockholders of the Northwest Ammonia Power Company was bold yesterday afternoon at the offioe of Prothonotory Bradley. Among those pres ent were Mr. Bradley, Ex-County Controller Speer, R. M. McKtnney, Poor Director Frank Patterson, John M. Boyd, and others. The object of the company is to put into active operation the Campbell ammonia power re cently invented by C. H. Campbell. The idea is to use ammonia gas in the cylinders or engines Instead or steam. This, it is claimed, will reduce the cost or fuel to per cent, und do away with the use of cylinder oil. General Manager Speer said that in a trial made recently in the East, on the tng boat . J. Hartley, the invention was pronounced a success by a number or scientific mcn.'ln dudlng the chief engineers or the German Lloyd and Inman steamship lines. BENEFITS BEGINNING Vesuvius Strikers Will Now Secure Finan cial Assistance. The strikers at the Vesuqlus Iron Works are still holding out, and they predict the severest part of the trouDleisyet to come. Beginning with yesterday the men will re ceive strike benefits from the Amalgamated Association. Owing to the laws of the or- Sanization they oould not be supported nancially during July aud August. The men say that if they were able to remain Idle without benefits, now that tbey will receive- finances they will be able to force their Issue. On the other hand Mr. Moorhead clings to the idea that he has the fight won. There were 17 furnaces lighted up yesterday and enough men wore ou hand bright and early to operate them. It is Mr. Moorhead's In tentions to fill up all departments as soon as possible, but as to what class of help he will secure he has nothing to say. F0ECED TO 6TABT. The New Elba Mills in Operation Before They Are Finished. The eight and ten-Inch mills of the Elba Iron Works were started up yesterday. The new department has not yet been completed, but the firm hns a demand for.skclp, and it was found necessary to put the new mills in operation. About 75 men are employed, and the entire product ot the mill will be made up Into pipe at the Continental Tuoe Works. Both plants aro owned and operated by the Oil Well Supply Company. Mr. Palmer, of the company, said yester day that there is at present a good demand lor pipe, and the prospects for the season are very encouraging. He knows of no large stocks In the market; thinics all the mills will be busy. The trade in tho West is ex pected to be exceptionally good. Promotion of Mr. Peebles. General Superintendent David McCargo of the Allegheny Valley Railroad, announ ces the appointment of William J. Peebles as local lrcight agent for that line, vice E. W. Coombe, resigned.

Mr. Oliver submitted the report of Charles Davis and Andrew Peebles, the ex perts appointed to examine into, the condition of the High School build ing, the southwest corner of which had been reported sinking. They reported that the portion of the building referred to had sunk about three Inches. It had been constructed on fllled-in ground, which had now become compressed and would sink but llttlo more. They did not consider the build ing unsafe. Mr. Oliver offered a resolution providing that no pupil shall be required, directly or indirectly, to purchase or use any books other than those adopted by the Board of School Con troll ers as a text book. The school principals were to be required to cortify on their monthly-pay rolls that no textbooks other than those adopted by the board had been used In the school.

DANIEL M'SWEENEI AERESTED For Pointing- Firearms While He Was Guarding a Prisoner. WILL DECLDir AN INTIRJISTIHG POINT United States Detective Daniel Mc-Sweenej- Was arrested at Warren, Pa., yes terday for pointing firearms. One hour after his arrest application was made to Judge Acheson, of the United States Cir cuit Court, to have him produced in court to test the legality of his arrest. The case dates back to an arrest made in July. At the July term of the United States District Court at Erie Chauncey Marble, a wealthy lumberman of "Warren county, was indicted and tried on the charge of passing counter feit money. He was convicted, but his at torney appeared In court with affidavits from physicians stating that Marble, who was out on bail, was at his home in Warren county, and was too ill to be removed to court for sentence. The Government de tective, however. Informed the Court that Marble was not too ill to appear In court and that the claim was simply a subter fuge. Judge Reed at this directed Detective Mc Sweeney and Denuty Marshals Barring and McManus to take a physician, go to Marble's borne and have him examined, and if he was not too ill. bring him to court. They executed their com mission, and the physician taken By the officers declared that Marble's removal wonld not hurt him. With this certificate Detective McSweenoy and the two deputies placed Marble In a buggy and started off with him. They Intended to drive to Cony, Fa., and there take a train ror Erie. At Columbus, near Corry, they discovered a crowd In the road In front of them. When they reached the crowd Constable Qlfford seized the horses' heads. He commenced to harangue them about violating the law in driving too fast across a bridge. The officers, thinking an attempt was to be made to rescue their prisoner, drew their revolvers. At this t: 9 men drew back and thev drove on. Marble was taken to Erie and sentenced to two years to the penitentiary, where be now is. In the meantime Glfford lodged an information against Mc8weeney and Bar ring, charging them with pointing firearms. They were .arrested by Constables Dewey and Glfford and gave ball. Yesterday Detec tive McS weeney went to Warretfandaccord ing to arrangemont his bail surrendered him, and he was tnrned over to Sheriff Fuel-. hart, or Warren county. He immediately telegraphed the news of his arrest to United States District Attorney Lyon. The latter then went before Judge Acheson and pre sented a petition asking for a writ of habeas corpus directing Sheriff Fnelhart to produce Detective McSweeney in court. In the petition it Is alleged tbat the arrest of McSweeney and Barring was illegal and was an interference with United States offi cers in tbe discharge or tholr duty. Judge Ackerson Issued the writ directing Sheriff Fnelhart to produce McSweeney in the United 8tates Circuit Court forthwith. United States Marshal Harrah left last night for Warren to serve tho writ, and Mc Sweeney will probably be brought to Pitts burg te-day. The legality of arresting a United States officer for pointing fire arms to protect a prisoner will then be tested.
