Pittsburg cannot get its fireboat too toon.
The necessity of such an addition to the Fire
Bureau was folly demonstrated at the burn
ing of Haller, Beck & Co.'s salt works last
night. The works are situated at Carson
and Steuben streets, "West End. The build
ing was a one-story fgime structure, just
the sort to burn up beTore the
firemen are able to check the fames.
About 7 o'clock the boiler in the engine
room exploded. In a few moments fire was
seen eating its way through the building.
An alarm was turned in from box 113, fol
followed shortly by a second. All the
Sonthsidc companies and several from the
Old City turned out.
tVhen they arrived they found several
impediments to their work. The worst of
these was a lack of water. Engines were
attached to various plugs, but could get no
water. ft
Tisrn x.ost at thk plugs.
Valuable time was lost in the vain en
deavor to get the plugs to work. By this
time the building was nearly destroyed.
Chief Brown, who was present, ordered the
rcen to abandon the plugs and lay lines of
hose to the river. This was done, and after
considerable time several streams of water
were playing on the fire. But the delay in
getting water proved fatal to the salt works,
which were completely destroyed.
The loss will not be more than ?8,000, in
cluding the stock and machinery destroyed
in the building. The amount of insurance
. could not be lea.Tied. The cause of the ex
plosion ot the boiler is unknown. During
the lire John Hart, a sub-fireman on No. 2
Engine Company, had his feet badly in
jured by the tall of a burning piece of tim
ber. PRESSING XEEl) Or A FIREBOAT.
r
Chief Brown was firmly impressed with
the fact that a fireboat could have been
brought into excellent service at last night's
fire- Tne lack of water, for which no ex
planation has vet been produced, made the
engines practicallv useless for a time.
A firtboat could have sent water
uy from the river in half the
time required to lay hose down
from the encines. Even then its force
would have been many times greater than
that secured last evening, and the blare
could have been extinguished beforehe
building was entirely destroyed.
Superintendent of Police Weir, when he
hcara of the circumstances, remarked that
the sooner Pittsburg secured its fireboat and
water tower the better it would be for the
owners of property.

Footpads Beaten In a Fair Race.
Frank Jolly, a brother of Contractor J. K.
Jolly, had a thrilling experience in the out
skirts of Coraopolls the other night. He was
driving a spirited horse rather rapidly down
a hill when several men sprang from the
roadside and attempted to catch the animal.
The horse, however, took fright and 'dashed
franticallv through the midst ot the foot-
5ads, so that they were forced to give away.
Tust then Jolly noticed some more men a
few Tods lower down, evidently intent upon
the same object, and attheriskof aiuna
wav whipped t.ie frightened "animal into a
mad gallop, which it would have been in
sanity for the moonlighters to have at
tempted to impede. Though the rig ran on
two wheels at Intervals in the breakneck
pace. Jolly distinguished several othpr re
lays of thugs awaiting an opportunity which
'did not present itself. A strange Incident in
this connection was that JpNy had a gun in
his pocket, but did not think, ot it until he
got home and danger was past.
Uniontown Can Hold the Crowd.

M., received word from Uniontown yester

about the accommodations being sufficient,
but it is understood that tho boarding houses
and private residences have been called
into play and that the delegates will be
divided up among these. The session will
be the most important one the State Council
has ever held. Mr. Collins' report will show
that 220 new councils have been organized
throughout the State during his term, and
the membership Increased by over 15,000, the
greatest record? for any term since tho order
has been in existence.

The Insane Hospital Commission Puts
. in a Day at Ligonier.
THAT WILL BE THE PLACE CHOSEN.
Most of the Members Break Very FaroraMy
of What Thoy Saw, ,
HOW THEY ARE BEING ENTERTAINED
.if
The commission appointed by Goyernor
Pattison for the purpose of locating the
proposed hospital for the insaneof Pennsyl
vania, provided for in the appropriation of
5500,000, lias been in Pittsburg and vicinity
for two days. The members have examined
many "sites," but np to date the commis
sion has not definitely selected a place for
the institution, or even said whether it
would be in the East or "West end.of the
State.
The Commission is composed of Xtr. John
M. Kerwin, Superintendent of the Warren
Hospital for the Insane, Chairman; Hon.
J. M. Eeynolds, of Bedford, Secretary;
Colonel H." M. Deckert, of Philadelphia;
ex-Congressman J. B. Storm, of Monroe
county, and "Wharton Barker, the Phila
delphia banker. All but Mr. Barker, who
could not possibly attend the meeting, were
present The Citizens' Committee appointed
to receive the commission and Impress upon
their minds the beauties o'f "Western Penn
sylvania was composed of J. M. Guffy, Chief
Robert Elliot, Colonel Hudson, Dr. G C
Wiley, ex-ShcriffJ. S. Duffy, J. S. Scully,
R. B. and J. R. Mellon, ex-Sheriff J. P.
"Wiley, and others who were absent. '
Robert Pitcaim's private car was placed
at the disposal of the party yesterday morn
ing, and upon entering the apartments
they became the guests of J. R. Mellon.
The party was considerably increased when
it reached the East End, and later was
joined by many "Westmoreland and Indiana
recruits.
FROM IDLEWIXD TO MGOHIEB.
At Idlewild a brief stop was made and the
commission and guests walked over
the grounds. They were very much aston
ished at the splendid improvements- that
have been made since last year, and would
not have recognized the now popular picnio
? rounds as the place which existed there a
ew years ago. From theie they wero con
veyed to Ligonier, -n here carriages were in
waiting for the company at Frank's
Hotel, a beautiful summer resort.
The company was shown the
splendid growing crops about Ligonier,
the fertile vallej s, the matchless scenery,
the everflowlng cold mountain springs, the
tall corn, tho big pumpkins, the invigorat
ing atmosphere and the old turnpike. They
also took a brief look at the fort, where Sir
John Ligonier is said to have "bested" his
man in a battle. Tho old inns,
which did a paying business in tho
time of the stage coach, were also
visited, and the inhabitants were greatly
oxcited and puzzled about tho presence of
tho visitor. Jtev. Dr. J. L. Smith, pastor of
the Lutheran Church, of Ligonier, and one
ofthemostbusinesslikeondprogresslvemon
in the region, joined the party at the depot
and accompanied them In tho drives about
the village. The commission was very favor
ably impressed with the lands visited. Tho
price asked was about $75 an acre, on an
average, and it was evident that all neces
sary territory could be secured at that
figure. The citizens' committee, who are
interested in having the hospital located in
tho west end of the State, argued that pure
water, an elevation insuring good" air and
cool nights ere requisites that came very
near filling the bill. Tho drainage is also
excellent, and this feature of the necessary
requirements was discussed.
ADVANTAGES OF THE SPBKTGS.
It was shown that the .springs wero lo
cated at an altitude that would afford a
natural pressure equal to the best fire
engines, and that the pressure would throw
a. stream over any building that could bo
erected at the place. The party took the
train provided by Superintendent George
Senft. of the Ligonier Valley Bond, at about
12 o'clock, arriving at the snmraer resort,
Idlewild, a few minutes later. Here
lunch was served by James Eiloy, steward
of the Duaucsne Club, in one of the pavil
ions. From this point f-e Commission waB
piloted to a beautiful place on the Pennsyl
vania Kailroad, near Derry. Tho tinkling
brook, the broad meadows, the hlokorys
and the elms, tho sweet resounding echoes,
and other features were fullv explained.
At tho Blairsville Junction the company
was joined bv Senator Hood, and Samuel
Smith, an Indiana editor. They came as a
committee to in ite the commission to visit
their fertile locality and look at Its bewilder
ing inducements.
Judge "Harry" White also joined the
party at Latrobe, not with an ai or a cant
liook over his shoulder, but just to swap
ftorics with the crowd. Ho started the
entertainment in this direction, and Chief
Elliot was "remmed of another one" which
kept tho company in good lramor.
Colonel Dcchert said to a Dispatch re
porter, speaking for the commission, that
thoy were very favorably Impressed with
the site at Ligonier. "It is very favorable."
said he, "for such an institution as is -about
to be established. The soil is fertile andof a
character that would afford excellent facil
ities for agriculture. Under the provisions
of the act creating this commission we are
compelled to look after all the Indlspenslblo
requisites, as drainage, water supply, etc.
A LAP.GK ESTABLISHMEFT WANTED.
If we build an asylum that will come up to
the expectations of the Governor, we will
erect a house that will accommodate 1,000 In
sane people and 500 attendants. -The drain
age at the point suggested this afternoon
would not interfere with the water supply.
We are much pleased with the Ligonier site,
and I know of no better that can be secured.
The figures quoted by "men acquainted
with real estate values about Ligonier on
the land under consideration is about $75
per acre. Dr. John Kerwin, President' of
the Commission, wonld not put himself on
record, though he admitted that the
Ligonier site was about the best they had
yet visited.
To-day they go to Indiana, where Judge
"Harry" White says they "are centrally lo
cated geographically; easily accessible, and
where there is an abundance of good farm
ing land and othor indlspenslblo requisites."
"Have you good watort" asked ex-Sheriff
Guffy.
"Yes,"joplicd the Judge, "and good drug
stores, in case of necessity."

PATCH. Caught In a Panhandle Collision
n. S. Draper, of New York, was at tho
Anderson yesterday. He was on the Pan
handle limited which was detained by a
freight wreck at Unionport, O., 61mlles from
this city. He did not reach town until 3
o'clock, though due to arrive at 7 a. it
The first part of east-bound freight;traln 81
parted as it entered tho tunnel near Bloom
field. The detached part ran for some dis
tance, and finally collided with seven loaded
care, completely wiecking them. "The cars
wero piled promiscuously in all directions,"
said Mr. Draper. "A woman living in a house
close by had a remarkable escape. She was
in tho tront room tending her child in its
cradle, and when the collision occurred a
sewer pipe was flung through the window
and across the child's bed without injuring
the mother or child. The rails were all torn
up. There was no loss of life, as far as I
heard."
An Electric Car Victim In Braddock.
Coroner McDowell was in Braddock yestor
day holding an inquest on the death of
Curtis Beese, aged 9 years, killed by an
electric car In front of the Third ward
schoolhoubu. The testimony developed the
fact that the boy ran oat ot the schoolyard
and bung on the rear of a passing delivery
wagon. The Janitor of the school called to
him to jump off. He did so, but in running
across the street came directly In front of
an electric car. Before Motorman Connors
could stop th a boy was under the wheels.
Tho Jury rendered a verdict of accidental
death and exonerated the gripman. The
father of the dead boy died recently.

The attention of General Agent O'Brien,
of the Humane Society, was called yester
day to the case of Stanslaus Malczak, the
Pole excluded from the Southside Hospital
on account of his disease. Slnoe leaving the
hospital Malczak has been at a boarding
house on South Tenth street. It is snid ttie
proprietor of the house threatens to put him

into the matter.
WAITING ON BI'KEE.
James A. Chambers "Will Not Make an As
signment Before Monday Bright Hopes'
of a Compromise Before That Time
Writs Are Given to the Sheriff.
James A. Chambers has not made an as
signment, and from present indications will
not do so until Monday. His attorney, J.
Scott Ferguson, is'still waiting on Mr. Mo
Kee on account of the note he sent "Wednes
day. On "Wednesday evening he went out
of town, and nothing was .heard from him
yesterday. Even the fact of Mr. McKee's
not being in town was -regarded as a favora
blo point, for It would be necessary for him
to go East before any arrangements conld
be completed. In an interview yesterday
Mr. Ferguson said:
"I havo not made a move to-day because
we can afford tp hold off until Monday.
The note from the creditor who was pushing
Mr. Chambers still gives me reason to hope
that an extension will be granted. The
gentleman went out of town last night and
sol will not do anything until I hear from
him, provided that oomes before Monday
evening. The first answer he sent me was
that he would neither buy, tell nor grant
any extension. Then I wrote ngaln and re
ceiving no answer decided that an assign
ment would be necessary. His last note In
dicates that he Is willing to accept terms
nnd he could easily do so without losing a
dollar.
"I personally know that Mr. McKceisin
sound financial shape. Why, the earnings
of tho Buffalo Streot Railway syndicate last
year were $1,000,000 over what they ever were
befoie. I bcllcvo the Standard Platb Glass
Company Is tne only concern in which Mr.
McKce Is interested that -is not making
money.".
Mr. Ferguson, also acting as attorney for
Martha J. Chambers, yesterday issued exe
cutions against James A. Chambers on two
of the judgments rocorded by Mrs.Chamhers
on Wednesday.' The amounts are $S3,03G (5
and $51,059 53. The writs were placed in the
hands of the Sheriff to serve. Another con
fessed Judgment given by Mr. Chambers
to Sarah Hall for $1,005 was placed on record
yesterday.
The judgments for $114.584 50 In favor of
Mrs. Martha J. Chambers were also issued
in Greensburg yesterday and Sheriff Claw
son will attach'the glass plant at .Tcannette.
James A Chambers was at the Union sta
tion last night to see his wite and eon away.
When nsked about the status of his affairs he
said: "I don't know that I can say anything
more than has been published. I should
have been able to surmount the present
difficulties, with the aid of my friends, bad I
been given time. There was only one of my
creditors who refused to grant me an exten
sion, and I have no recourse now but to
make an assignment. This may not be done
this week. I am in the hands of my solicitor.
The assets will be much more than the lia
bilities." Some glass workers at the depot last even
ing took occasion to refer to the manner in
which Mr. Chambers difficulty was received
at Jeannette. Theconcensus of opinion,they
said, is against the man who is driving
Chambers to the wall. They said the opin
ion of tbebigmajorityof peoplein Jeannette
was opposed to such action. So strong was
the. feeling there, said they, that fully ono
third of the glassblowers had given notice of
intention to leave, and it was doubtful If the
arm would nave enougn men to siar up
with when work wns resumed. The general
feeling in Jeannettejwas of sympathy for Mr.
unamDors.
SUSPICIONS EASILY ALLAYED.
How Two Blen Cleared Themselves of a
Charge of Body Snatching.
Attorney William Macrum and E. D.
Smith, Division Passenger Agent of the
the Baltimore and Ohio Railway Company,
had a nerve trying experience yesterday
morning. They live at Ingram station,
where the faculties of the inhabitants have
been sharpened lately by several burglarious
visitors, and in consequence, peoplo who act
suspiciously are very apt to be closely in
spected, and almost every person who owns
anything worth stealing keeps a revolver
under his pillow at night. In the dim un
certain gray of the dawning, before auroral
radiance suffused the eastern horizon,Messi s.
Smith and Macrum saw two men in charge
of a horse and wagon pass their residences,
and while one man drove, the other kept a
sharp lookout for something in the wagon
bed, which was covered with a tarpaulin.
The evident solicitude of the men for the
safety of their freight made the inhabitants
of tho peaceful hamlet suspicious that some
evil had been done under cover of night,
and that the men were cither burglars or
grave robbers. The two gentleman named
sat down to breakfast, but finally decided
to suspend long enough to overhaul the men
and investigate. They armed themselves
and started in pursuit, overtaking the
strangers on a hill. The latter displayed
so much perturbation when accosted that
the pursuers telt sure they had a case. The
men were Germans, and with difficulty
learned that they wore expected to submit
to inspection, but when they were made to
understand they pulled tho tarpautln aside

ENFORCING THE LAW.
Deputy Factory Inspectors Pointing
Out flie Beqniremente Of
THREE IMPORTANT ENACTMENTS.
Nearly All the Tableware Factories Are
Now in Operation.
MISCELLANEOUS ETOUSTBIAL ITEMS
Miss Mary A. O'Eeilly, the Deputy State
Factory Inspector, changed her base of
action yesterday, and visited a couple of
glass factories on the Southside. Deputy
Baker accompanied her again! She has her
work well under way now, and thinks with
favorable circumstances she can complete
the present tour of visits inside of two
weeks.
Miss O'Eeilly is being received very
courteously by the manufacturers, and the
latter, as a general rule, seem disposed to
respect the law in every particular, and,
where changes are necessary, are willing to
make them. One or two irregularities were
found yesterday that required a lengthy
consultation before an understanding was
reached. It is often necessary for her to
give employers to understand that she has
the power to force a compliance with the
law under penalty of a prosecution. This
was the case in one instance yesterday,
where she found section 11 o'f the factory
act violated more through neglect than any
thing else.
INADEQUATE 8 AHITABY ARBANGEMENTS.
This section provides that proper and
sufficient sanitary accommodations shall be
furnished for tho convenience of women. In
the case referred to, where girls are em
ployed In the packing room of one of the
glass houses, she found these accommoda
tions entirely inadequate. 8peaking of the
matter last night. Miss O'Eeilly said: "I
cannot understand why men will have such
a total disregard for a State la w as to allow
themselves to drift into such negligence.
Aside from their knowledge of the law their
common sense should teach them better."
In regard to fire escapes, over which she
has J urisdletlon also, she has found the law
iretty strictly adhered to. Only one factory
las been found where the means of egress in
case of fire are insufficient, and improve
ments are about to be made on the estab
lishment that will bring It up to the require
ments. The law provides that all factories
three stories high and over shall be provided
with fire escapes. Two of the factories
visited are only two-story structures. One
of tho others was found to be all right, but
tho fourth was found to be without sufficient
means of escaDC.
Miss O'Reilly. Mr. Baker and the firm had
a conference which lasted nearly two hours.
During this time promises were made by the
employers that some changes wonld be made
in the factory and that every necessary con
venience for the benefit of the people will
be provided.
NO COMPLAINTS YET MADE.
Miss O'Reilly satd last night that the work
is going very smoothly so far, but she ex
pects some very interesting calls to-day or
to-morrow. Sho intimated that a certain
wire mill will, be one of the places
visited to-day. She was prevented from
getting to the place yesterday afternoon by
the heavy rain storm. Mr. Baker is laving
out the work for her, but she says that none
of the houses are selected because any com
plaint had been made against them.
Sho knows of no complaints against
any of the houses and the visits are deter
mined nnon promiscuously. Of course she
anticipates finding things in better shape
wtftn sho would it none of tho employers
were acquainted with her presence in the
city. Peoplo who expect a call from her be
fore she leaves have an opportunity of mak
ing some preparations for receiving her. It
is likely she will spend the greater portion
of to-day on the Southside among the glass
houses and other factories on that side of
thejriver.
Flint Houses in Operation.
( Most of the tableware houses are now in
operation. Some few only have not yet
completed their improvements and neces
sary changes, but it is believed that within
the noxt week all the houses will be at work.
Tho stocks at the factories have been largely
reduced by the prolonged stoppage and the
outlook for tho fall trade is fair. There is
nothing new in the window glass situation.
Many of the manufacturers are changing
their factories to permit the use of coal or
are putting in gas producers, and will not be
ready to operate before September 15 or pos
sibly October 1. It is thought by that time
the stock, the assortments of which are al
ready very much broken, w ill have been re
duced to suoh an extent that the manufact
urers wlll'very gladly concede at least a por
tion of tho woikers' demands. President
Smith, of the Flints, who has been East for
several days, is expected home this morning
to attend a conference with the manufact
urers on the engraving list this afternoon.
G. M. Murphy, a member of the Executivo
Board, is at Coming, looking after tho affairs
of the union at that place. The strike there
remains unsettled; although the men seem
to be gaining ground.
Miners Strike at Allison.
There is a strike of railroad miners at
Allison station on the Chartlers road. Somo
days ago the men employed by Cook & Son
elected a check weighman from another
mine, and the company objected to him on
these grounds and refused to allow him to
work. Tho men protested against that kind
ol treatment ahutlie mine was closed down.
About 60 men are affected by the difficulty.
John Costello, President of District 5, went
to Allison station yesterday and had a pro
longed conference with the firm, but it
proved of no avail. The company claimed
the right to say that the check weighman
must come from the ranks of their own em
ployes, and there tho matter rests. Mr. Cos
tello said last night he thought tho dispute
would be a difficult one to settle, as the firm
seemed obstinate in the position it had
taken. ,
nod Testimonials of Competency.
Assistant President: Garland, of the
Amalgamated Association, takes exception
to the claims set up that Thomas-O'Brien,
one of the men he selected from among the
experienced tin plate workers, to go to
Demmler, Is only a puddler. "Mr. O'Brien
showed me papers," said Mr. Garland,
"showing that he had served his apprentice
ship in Wales, and other papers showing
that he had worked ten years, in that coun
try, as a workman. All the men whose
names we have on our list of competent tin
worlters, are men vho can show these
papers as testimonials of their competency
and wo would not recommend any but com-
?etent workmen to manufacturers, especial
y at this time."
A Project That Will Get a Best.
It has been decided that nothing will be
done with the new Builders' Bxchange pro
ject for the present. Tho committee that la
to report at tne meeting next Monday, will
recommend that further action be post-
Eoned until the winter season. The mem
ers are too busy with contracts, which are
pressing them, to give the maf tor the atten
tion it deserves and will not have this fall.
There seems to have been some difficulty
encountered in the mntter of securing a
charter, but Clerk MoAfee said yesterday
that it had been settled and the project
would bo pushed through at the proper
time. There will be nothing of special im
portance to transact at Monday's meeting.

TEE CHING IK AOAHf.
A Chinese Fan-Tan Joint Balded Twice In
Two "Weeks.
Tee Ching, the Chinaman whose place was
raided a week ago Sunday night, was in Cen
tral station again last night. Ching's bouse
is at 311 Grant street. The police discovered
last night that the game of fan-tan they had
stopped before was In progress again.
Superintendent Weir, Inspoctor McAleese
and half a dozen offtcersswent up to the place
shortly before midnight. They found Ching
had adopted a novel scheme to prevent the
capture of his patrons. Electric buttons
were placed at the front and rear doors and
in the hallway on the first floor, connecting
with a bell under the gaming table above.
When the officers arrived last night one of
the buttons was duly manipulated, and In
nn instant the lights In the gambling room
were extinguished. When the officers
readied the darkened room they found ten
Chinamen, Including the proprietor,
crouched under tables and behind chairs.
There was a lively scramble, but all were
captured.
The patrol wagon with Its load had scarce
ly reached Central station when a dozen
friends of the captives were there ready to
put np forfeits. One man had a pocket fnll
of $20 gold pieces, which he deposited for
the appearance of his Celestial brethren at
the hearing this morning.
Not Pleased "With Their Treatment'.
A number-of Union Veteran Legion Sol
diers were at the Union depot last night.
They had just returned from little Washing
ton. They complained bitterly of tholr
treatment at the hands of the management.
Abont 600 veterans, members of Legions No.
1 and 6, went to Washington on invitation
from the management of the Fair. As one
of them expressed it:"Wegot neither 'bite
nor sup all day. They marohed around the
grounds and then marched us Inside where
we were told that if we got upon top of the
hill we should have a good looVat the races,
and, maybe, hear a speech. Such treatment
was nevoraccorded guests anywhere before,
and the Washlngtonlans must feel proud of
themselves." x
A Sour Train.
There was forwarded yesterday from the
works of H. J. Heinz Co., Keystone Pick
ling and Preserving "Works, this city, an
entire train load of jiickles, destined to
Kansas Citv, Mo., which will be routed via
the A, T. & S. P. K. E., "Santa Fe route,"
from Chicago, to be distributed over the
vast "Western country traversed by that im
mense system of railroads. The train is
made up entirely of Pennsylvania Com
pany refrigerators, cars all of uniform size
and appearance, nnd each car will be deco
rated with a large muslin banner, making a
very attractive appearance, and the train
will no donbt be tne occasion of consider
able comment. As it speeds through the
Western towns and cities an excellent op
portunity will be afforded every one to see
this train, as the Pennsylvania and Santa
Fe people have arranged to take it through
all the way by daylight. Mr. T. M. Orr,
general agent in this city for the Santa Fe
route, has had prepared a very neat sched
ule showing the exact running time of this
handsome train and this will be sent in ad
vance to the various towns, so that the peo
ple may have an opportunity of knowing
when the train arrives and seeing a sample
of the product of one of Pittsburg's largest
establishments. Taking into consideration
that there are some 15 competing roads into
Kansas City the Santa Fe is certainly to be
congratulated on having secured such a
desirable shipment.

Strange Story of a Nemwis Told by
Thomas Henry MercerHogg.
"v
HE WANTS TO CAEET A EETOLTEB.
Sore He Ts Haunted Because of a Singular
Dream He Oifco Had.
BETEEMmED TO END HIS SUSPENSE
There is a man at McKee's Bocks whost
career, according to the story he tells, is a
pitiable one. He called on 'Squire Miles
Bryan and asked permission to carry a re
volver for the purpose of self-defense.
After informing him that he bod no au
thority to give the permit, 'Squire
Bryan asked the man. his name and
trouble, and he proceeded .to tell a
queer story. He said his name' was Thomas
Henry Mercer Hogg, and that his trouble
began In 1882, when he lived in Dublin. He
said he had a dream in which he saw the as
sassination of Cavendish and Burke in
Phoenix Park. He felt it its, duty to tell
the authorities, and did so, telling them
that he conld identify th8. murderers. The
officials made light of the matter, and could
not be induced to take action.
The affair weighed on Mr. Hogg's mind,
and just as he began to get the better of it
and dismiss it as a mere disagreeable mem
ory, he was conscious that the revelations
he had made to he authorities had became
known to the Fenians.
FOLLOWED BT A NEMESIS.
He states that while he could not spot it,
he knew there was a Nemesis on his track.
He lost his position, children hooted at him
and evil faces presented themselves to him
in eerie places in the gloaming and in nar
row alloy 3 whero t bo light of tho sun never
penetrates.
Finally the situation became unbearable,
and Mr. Hogg fled to the continent, but in
the most obscure villages of France, Ger
many, etc., he found no rest for the soles of
his feet except for short periods. .In time
evil countenances again crossed his path,
children again hooted, and he would be
again forced to fly. He finally came to New
York in 1882, and his first act after getting
past the immigrant inspectors was to de
clare bis intention to become a citizen of
the United States, in the hope that this
would in some manner serve as. a shield
from his tormentors. InNewTork his per
secution was greater than in Europe, and he
left there also. Coming to McKee's Bocks,
he procured employment in the Pittsburg,
Chartlers and ToaghloghenyRall way Shop,
and for a considerable time thought that he
had at last gotten ont of the way of his mys
terious persecutors, but of late the same
scenes are being re-enacted. Some men cast
hateful glances at him, and boys are be
ginning to Jeer at him, and he came to the
conclusion that, as constant flight was not
effective, he would turn on his tormentors
and show fight.
MUST END THE SUSPENSE.
If they could unearth htm at McKee's
Bocks, where he lived so qnietly as not to
attract any attention whatever, as he
thought, he felt that further efforts at con
cealment would be nugatory, and he was de
termined to end the suspense once for all.
When 'Squire Bryan suggested that Mr.,
Hogg might be laboring under a delusion,
ho became offended, but retained his dig
nity, when he asked if he appeared like a
man laboring under a delusion. The 'Squire
admitted that hedld not, bnt still contended
that the story was rather improbable to se
cure credence without buttressing.
Mr. Hogg is a modest man, with the
carriage and general deportment of a
gentleman, and is supposed to be
well educated, but nevertheless those who
nave beard him relate the dream appear to
think he is merely dreaming of a dream.and
that no one at the Bocks has any intention
of molesting him, especially as he shows no
disposition to excite a controversy on any
subject. He has the old country reverence
for the constituted authorities, and would
not carry a pistol without permission.
