Manager 31 H. Goodman presided and Secretary James Johnston kept the minutes. The meeting was not largely attended by stock holders, but they were largely present by proxy and there was not a dissenting vote. It was also decided that the Board of Di rectors should take action to secure the substitution of the lien of the company's mortgage on the Garrison alley property to the Swissvale property, including such patent rights as the Union Switch and Sig nal Company has acquired or may aequire prior to m:'c1i substitution not already enumerated in the existing mortgage Though there -were tw o lawyers present, Sol tchoyer, Jr., and Mr. Seott, the latter of Dalzell, fccott & Gordon, there was but little speech making or controversy. 3Ir.

Tne Italians employed by the Standard Oil Company to lay a gas main from the 3Ioon Held to McKee's Bocks are not making friends ol the farmers along the line. The latter iy the Ilomans are a predatory band who subsist mainly by forage. Ed Ewing says that they not only steal corn, but break down what they leave worse than a lot of raccoons would do. Xight before last ho found a gang in his corn field and opened lire on them with a Smith & Wesson. The crowd set up a dismal squalling, but Ed liept on until he emptied all the chambers. As neither dead bodies nor blood were found in the field yesterday morning the presumption is that all got away. A Gang or Yonng Tonghs Caught. Four boys were arrested at midnight last night by Officers Kinney and Maxwell on Smithfield street on a charge of burglarizing a pawnshop on Wylie, near Fifth avenue, a few nights ago. The boys were taken to Central station and searched and a sandbag and a handkerchief with a stone tied in it was found on two of them. Their names are Harney Cunningham, John Harper. David Xevisand David Williams and their ages range from IS to 20 years. A number of mouth organs, said to have been stolen, were also found on them. In a Pecnliar 31nddle. George B. Ourey was on the street last sight telling the story that he had been con victed in court of bigamy yesterday and that Warden Berlin had released him. much to hi- surprise. The Warden was seen and stated that he had released Ourey on an order from Court. The paper was produced, showing that Ourey had been acquitted of the charge and signed by Clerk McGuunegle. Ourey still declares he was convicted, and says he will site lnnielf up in court to-day. It remains- to be seen whether he or the clerk are m erior. So Hope of Cheap Telephones. In answer to a telephone user who wants the rate of rent reduced, Superintendent Metzgar yesterday stated at present there was poor prospect for reduction for some time to come, owing to the creat expense at present entailed by putting wires under ground. He stated that the electric car lines ad almo-t ruined the service in some parts of the city, and it appears tnat the only xcmedy is to get off the streets occupied by the lines of cars thus impelled.

Lauxman, ol'Canton, O.,knows how it is done, and "glad he came." For a year the gloom of night gradually settled over his sight, and through a knowledge of the case of Mr. J. C. Campbell, of Cleve land, O., placed his Case in the hands of Dr. Sadler, S04 1'enn avenue, who removed a cataract from the left eve. Iast Saturday he had his glaes adjusted. "When lie found he could see everything distinctly and read any print, his pleasure was unbounded. The results obtained by Dr. Sadler in cataract operations are unsurpassed. He has not failed to make every case operated upon in the lat three vears see to read the common literature of the day. and most of them see to read the very finest type. Some of his cases have been examined by the best ocu lists in the United States, with the criti cism "1 never saw a better operation." Jos. Honwi & Co.'s Great Exhibit. The "Linen Ship" has been at anchor for a few days, but will soon start on another voyage. Don't fail to see the novel spec tacle. She rides the snow white billows graceful as a swan. This is conceded to be one of the most striking exhibits ever made in this country. Tiie special display of fine imported dress Etufis now arranged gives a slight idea of the enormous nock of novelties in fall and vrinter drc-vs fabrics now shown by this firm. This season more than ever before Jos. Home & Co. maintain their unquestioned fciipremacy as the"Jading Drvgoods House" of the two cities. In fact, no house, east or vest, can surpass, or even scarcely hope to equal, their vast and varied collections of latest styles iu silks and dress goods, many of which are manufactured to their order and shown only by themselves. It is the purpose of this firm to vary their exhibit from week to week, and silks and dress goods have now had their turn. Eater on will come other leading departments. Por instance, "fine furs," which they now show iu largest variety in their spacious and ircll-lighted show room on Penn avenue. Visitors to the Exposition can form no proper idea of the correct styles for fall for ladies and children unless they make a visit to this enormous center of trade, which is centrally and conveniently located, near the corner of Penn avenue 'and Sixth street, numbers 609 to 621 Penn avenue. The magnitude of the business done here will surprise the uninitiated, and it only lcmains to say that the visitors will be cor dially welcomed whether purchasers or merely lookers on. In fact, to miss seeing this great establishment would mean that your visit to the Exposition had been a failure. iCew goods are now shown in all depart ments oi the immense store and at the usual "low cash prices" that have drawn trade from all parts of this country.

PROW OVERTHE SEA, Window Glass Manufacturers Con template Importing Workers ifltlsFomm: A LONG STRIKE IS UNAVOIDABLE. Secretary Francis, of the Master Bricklay ers' Association, Says It. Is True That TEE MEN ASKED FOR A CONFERENCE. They Sent a EepresentatiTe to the Exchange for the Purpose. The window glass manufacturers have been considering a new departure in con nection with the wage question, viz: the wholesale importation of glass workers from Europe. To be sure, the foreigners were not to be introduced into this country like a conquering army and headed by brass bands, but they were to present themselves at the different glass working centers just as surely as they might, at home, travel from Liverpool to London. "Whether this plan will ever go into effect will depend on what developments the next few days may bring forth. Then it will be definitely set tled whether a strike of large dimensions will really be entered upon, or work re sumed on or about the first of the month. "What the workers will do can only be sur mised, what the manufacturers propose is known. WII.I. IMPOKT FOREIGN WORKERS. The intention of the window glass men to fight their employes with foreign labor in the event of the workers insisting on higher wages and the continuance of certain cus toms obnoxious to their employers, has been understood among certain of the leaders for some time. Immigration Inspector Bobert Lavton admitted yesterday that he had heard of the scheme, and a 'Western manu facturer acknowledged about a week ago that this plan had been considered at meet ings of the manufacturers. He said that nothing definite had been decided upon, for the reason that the plan mieht not nave to be applied. This is stated In anticipation oi the customary denial which follows the publication of a story supposed to be safely corked. In fact, a Dispatch reporter was nked more than once not to say anything about it, ns it might Jeopardize the settle ment of the wage question. It was ascertained yesterday that the manufacturers are not averse to a struggle with the men. They know that If the fight, which is admitted to be inevitable, does not come off now, it must next year. The con ditions are mote favorable now for a length ened tussle than thov are likely to be next year, and if the trade was Involved in a strike now the manufacturers would not by any means object. Color is given to this view.bythe attitude of the manufacturers toward the workers at Tuesday's meeting. The workers came there instructed to make concessions which would bring both parties so close together that an amicable under standing could hardly be avoided, if such were desired. These overtures from the worker's side were rejected, and the meet ing adjourned indefinitely. WHAT THE 'XEXT STEP WILIi BE. The next step will be the laying of the matter before the whole committee. What the result may be can only be conjectured. The workers have evinced a desire for Fence, the manufacturers are ? J. F. larr, of Muncie, returned West on Tuesday night. He is expected in town again this morninir, presumably with the sentiments of the West buttoned up in his breast. Fac tories out there are reported as calmly awaiting the result of these many confer ences, with no creat desire forun immediate resumption. Tho next day or two will wit ness the matter brought to a point. That turns on whether the manufacturers will precipitate a tussle with their men this year. Regarding the prelected importation of workers Immigrant Inspector Lavton said he had heard of it. He could hardly credit, he said, that the manufacturers would re sort to such a measure in face of the new laws regulating the importation of labor. A DisrATCH renorter. however, outlined to Jlr. Lavton the manner in which the laws were to be evaded, under the manufacturers' plan. There were to be no contracts, no advertisements, nor publicity in any way given to the fact that men were needed over here. An agent, neither a citizen of this country nor, in fact, owing allegiance to any, was to go among" foreign glass workers and in a very casual way allude to such a country as America having a place on the map and insinuate quietly but very effectu ally that glass worKOrs were earning very good wages in certain localities easily reached, etc., etc 3Ir. Layton's comment on this was that It might be done, but he would have a say in the matter if it was attempted. THEY 0PFEBED X0 C0KFEE. Bricklayers Did Send to the masters With a Reqnest for a Conference. The officials of the Journeymen bricklay ers have sought to negative the story relat ing to the position of affairs between them and the masters printed in last Saturday's DisrATCH. They have declared that no "written" communication asking for a con ference was sent to the Bricklayers' Associ ation. In this they are right, the statement that a "communication was read" being an error. But because no "written" communication was sent, it does not follow that no over tures were made; and, in point of fact, the essential truthfulness of what was stated was fully vouched for yesterday by Secre tary Francis, of the Master Bricklayers' As sociation. Mr. Francis said: "The only matter In which the article In Saturday's Dispatch erred was in Implying that a written communication was received by us from the journeymen asking fo a con ference. There was not; but there was a verbal communication made to us with the same object, and that was through James White, who is, I believe, associated with Chris Dixon. White came here on that Mon day, and on requesting admission to the meeting was given the privilege of the floor. Mr. White said he had been asked to come before the association to ascertain if we would grant the men a conference. He said that O'Brien had appointed him to come here anil ask this. Our reply was that we would grant them a conference any time thev wanted it. The meeting most decidedly understood White to have come belore it on behalf of tho men." Mr. Francis produced reports and docu ments dealing with the employment of men. These reports showed tnat close on 500 bricklayers were at work for the exchange. Of this number 110 were Pittsburgers, 172 out siders: 50 wei e apprentices; 60 w ere at work for masters who had no reports, and the rest were bosses and partners. Ten brick layers arrived in town ye3tei day. An agree ment was produced signed by the 12 brick layers at work for William Taggert on Du Puy's houses in Allegheny for a rate of $4 per day. President Barnes, who was present when Mr. Francis made this statement, indorsed it. He added that be himself had been ap proached by bricklayers who said they would like to see the matter ended througn a conlerence. WHAT MR. DETUTT SAYS. He Doesn't Want to Antagonize the Boys, lint Won't nave Grimes. Thomas Druitt, Superintendent of the Xewsboys' Home, said yesterday he had no objection at all to the boys organizing, but he objected to outsiders Interfering. "Officer Grimes would not have been al lowed at the meeting last night," he said, "if he had not said he was sent there by the Department of Public Safety to organize the boys and give them badges. On this I opened the door and let him In. It 1b not true the boys passed resolutions rcsentiDg my interference." When this story wag placed before Super intendent Gamble Weir this evening he said that he had granted a committee of news boys who called upon him permission to have an officer at their meeting if they could find one without cost. "They said they could get Officer Grimes," continued the Superintendent, "and Officer Grimes received permission tontti'ml rlio meeting for the purpose of keeping .mler. He had no instructions from this depart ment to organize the boys, Issue badxes, or anything of the kind. This organization and the badges arc matters I know nothing about." The Potterr Trade Growlmr. Will. Jackson, a pottery mas, of. i'indlay, J O., was at the Seventh Avenue yesterday. Speaking of the growth of his trade be said: The value of the imports in this line for 1880 was $12,000,000; for 1890, about $8,000,000. In addition to an increasing.busincss, the qual ity and general finish ot the American ware was now generally conceded to bo equal to the English and Irish. It was true that much of the designing and decorating were still being done by foreigners, but the native talent was fast coming to the front. CHIEF JONES EX0XEBATED. He and Superintendent Tioomls Cleared of the Charge of Negligence. The Allegheny Sub-fire Committee met last night for the purpose of continuing further investigation into the alleged charges of negligence of employes of the fire bureau in permitting a burned-out wire to remain In that condition for 34 hours some weeks ago. Tho meeting was enlivened to a considerable extent by the declaration of Mr. Shadd that tho entire proceeding was "rotten," and that a snake in the grass was apparent and hud been intended to menace Chief Jones. Mr. Shadd grew emphatic at times and demanded that the whole matter bo Investigated to the bottom. Assistant Chief Hunter was called on for an explanation as to whv he did not report tho break in the wire. lie explained to the satisfaction of the committee that he had re ported the matter to a lineman and got as sistance for him to find tho break. When they were unnblo to locate It, he sent to Pittsburg and secured a man, who found it and fixed it. In the meantime. Fire Marshal McFadden learned of the break and caused the matter to be talked about, but the break was fixed as soon as It possibly could bo. The matter was but briefly discussed, and Mr. Stauffer declared tho Fire Marshal to bo responsible for the report of negli gence In the bureau, that he ought to be present to mako a statement, that he should be censured for his absence and that the sense of the committee ought to bo put on record that he knows more, or alleges he docs, than ho desires to tell. Mr. Shadd said those were his sentiments, and if Mr. Stauffer made a motion to that ef fect he would second it. lie desired at the same time to apologize to Mr. Hunter for saying at the last meeting that he should be discharged. He labored undora mistake at that time and was sorry for It. Mr. Stauffer moved that Chief Jones, of the Fire Bureau, andSuperintcndent Loomis, of the Bureau of Electricity, be exonerated of any negligence, and the motion prevailed. Then Mr. Shadd suggested that before they adjourned they ought to pass a vote of censure on the fire marshal for interfering, but this did not prevail. ENTAKOLED IN THE LAW. Thomas McAllister, of Mary street, South .side, yesterday made an information before Alderman McGeary accusing Patrick Mur phy of assault and battery. Joseph Linton and John Burns, Charged with the larceny of a gold watch and chain worth $75 from James Umbstetter, were held for court by Alderman McKenna yesterday. Wolf Savage, a Hebrew, was airestod by Officer Sprago last night on Magee street on a charge of aggravated assault and battery. It is alleged by tho officer that Savage struck Mrs. Beckie Meyersburg in the face with a club and knocked her senseless. She was carried into her house at No. 27 Magee street In a very critical condition. Martin L. Richardson, of 103 Ridge avenue, Allegheny, made an information before Al derman McMasters yesterday acensinc Mrs. E. E. Coburn with libel. Richardson bases bis suit on a letter to a friend of Mrs. Coburn alleged to have been written by her, in which Mrs. Richardson, the prosecutor's wife, is slandered. BLAINE STRONGLY ENDORSED. Declared Away in the Lead for New Town Honors. Mr. J. P. Kennedy, of No. 10S Fayette street, Allegheny, a gentleman of wide ex perience and good judgment in real estate matters, has this to say on the subject of new town enterprises: "I have visited this season every new town site around Pittsburg, making careful comparisons of present advantages, and en deavoring as far as possible to estimate the H future growth ot each.

FQTOD THE LOST BEIfc The Strange Romance of Young Harry Good, a Kidnaped Child. DISCOVERED IN A SCHOOLHOUSE. Mysterious TIsit of a Detective to a Mifflin Township Home. GENERAL GOSSIP OP THE TWO CITIES A peculiar kidnaping story was reported on the Southside last evening. The rumor has to the effect that a detective from some "Western State had been to Bull's Bun yes terday and found a boy in a Mifflin township public school said to bear the name of Harry Good and aged 7 years who had been kidnaped when 7 months old. The boy, it is said, came from a wealthy family, and was identified by two small birthmarks and a scar on his body. A large reward was offered when he was kidnaped, and is still standing. The detective, whose name could not be learned, said that he traced the boy to "Western Pennsylvania about six months ago and located him in the vicinity of Homestead. He spent several weeks hunt ing for the boy without finding any traces of him, when it suddenly occurred to him to visit the schools. The result was he found the boy answer ing the description in a Baldwin township school. He took the boy from the school room and directed him to go home at once. The detective followed him, and, on ques tioning the woman the boy thought to be his mother, he found a funny state of affairs. The woman said she had been mar ried three times. Her first husband died, the second one she was divorced from and the third, she said, was still living. As to the child she could not swear positively that it was hers. She said when sho and her second husband separated they had a child 8 months old, which was placed under the care of a friend. When she mar ried the third time, which was three years after, she went for her child. The person who had charge of it made a business of caring for unfortunate children, and as she had not seen her child during the three years she would not say positively that It washers. The detective took the boy on tho promise to bring him back If he were not the right person, A large crowd of peo ple was at the Homestead station when the boy was taken away. H. C. Saunders, of the Southside, asked the detective where he came from and he replied by saying that it would take him flvo days to get back home. SHIELD'S ACCOUNTS MIXED. Difficulties Over the Books of the Allegheny Heating Company. A rumor was afloat yesterday that Thomas L. Shields, Secretary and Treasurer of the Allegheny Heating Company, was short In his accounts to the extent of $100,000, and that ho had left the city on last Monday. A semblance of probability was lent to this story by the fact that it has been known that there was an examination of tho books being made and that Mr. Shields had not been seen at the office of the company for several days. D. E. Cassidy, attorney for Secretary Shields, stated last night that there was no shortage, but merely a discrepancy or mis take in the accounts, caused by the compli cated system which it was necessary to use in a business of that kind, the failure of the different books to tally probably being the result of rebates made to consumers and other similar reasons. He said that Mr. Shields' absence from the office was ex plained by the fact that he had been at the office of his attorney for several days going over the books. Attorney Cassidy said that the matter would be adjusted not later than to-day and that Addison Lysle, president of the company, was satisfied with the explanation and had stated that he did not apprehend any further trouble. A DisrATCH reporter visited President Lysle's residence last night, but he Arns not at home. A call was made at tho office of the Allegheny Heating Company. A couple of young clerks were present who stated that Mr. Lysle was out of the city and that Mr. Shields had not appeared at the office since last Monday. A number of the officials and directors of the company were afterward seen. They all said that some in vestigation of Shields' accounts was being conducted, but they had not yet been In formed of theresult,and consequently could have nothing to say. HAVE NOT HELD A MEETING. The Moorhead-McCIeane Company's State ment Presented to the Creditors. The statement of the finances of tho Moorhead-McCIeane Company, as exclusively published in yesterday's DisrATCH, was sent to each of tho creditors yesterday. There is little doubt that the extension asked forwill be granted after tho creditors have made an examination of the statement. Attorney George Shims, Jr., said laStnlght that no date had yet been set for holding p. meeting of the creditors,butthattheymlght get together to-day or to-morrow and have an informal talk over the statement. He said this would be but a preliminary meet ing, and that nothing definite would be done for several days, but that it was considered a foregone conclusion that the five years' extension would be granted. Mr. Shiras stated that tho $400,000 mortgage whioh has been referred to is held by the New York Lifo Insurance Company and an other Eastern insurance company. Among the banks holding the firm's paper are the Fort Pitt, Union National, Mechanics', Peo ple's Savings Rank, Exchange, M. & M., Al legheny National, Tradesmen's National, Bank of Pittsburg, Citizens', and Third Na tional of Allegheny.

You sometimes have trouble in deciding Just which instrument to take because each one has some particular point of advantage; yet somehow the most perfect one is finally dis covered, and it means years of satisfaction to the purchaser, whether he has chosen a Hardman, a Krakauer, an A. B. Chase or a Harrington from the pianos, or selected from the Palace, Chase or Chicago Cottage organs; and when you encounter the great JEollans you are willing to take one haphaz zard, for they are all first-class. This firm has made a specialty of selling on the rental system, and if you cannot make terms with Mellor & Hoene it will be because you have no idea of tho meaning of a veritable golden opportunity. Exposition Pianos and Organs at Kleber St Bro.'s, COG Wood Street. After examining the church organs shown at the Exposition Just call and see the church organs at Kleber & Bro.'s private ex position, 508 Wood street, and you'll be as tonished to find that tho Klebers will sell you the Vocalion organ for $300, which far surpasses any at the Exposition for $2,500. And the same is true of their pianos and small musical goods, all of which are sold at much lower prices than the "exposed" goods at the great show. Klebers' private musical exposition at 500 Wood street throws in tho shade anything seen at the downtown show. Pop Corn! O, Pop Corn!! It is a fortunato thing that this enticing commodity is as wholesome and good as it looks, or Mr. Baker would have a hard time of it. It is as good as a play to watch the expressions of the people while eating it, and folks who were never known to walk f.ist now get over the sround hurrying, that they may buy more pop corn, and at the same time get some lemonade, and a few packages of tho many kinds of candy. There is no mistake about the sweets sold by Baker. Taylor & Dean Have a charming exhibit of everything in ornnmental iron and wire, but.practical and effective as they are, they must stand back when their heavy iron manutactures aro in question, such as fire-escapes, iron stair cases, cellar doors, vault doors, iron shut teis, iron beds, bank and office fixtures, luwn and porch furnituro and stable outfits. These must be seen at the warehouse, 201, 20J, -03 Market street.

THEY LOUDLY DENOUNCE CANDIES Bnt Indorse a Pet Measure of the Ladies' Health Association. BIG BANQUET AT TIIE M0N0NGAHELA The second day's session of the Pennsyl vania Homeopathic Medical Society con vened shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning. The attendance was much larger than that of the previous day owing to the arrival pf more delegates. The first matter taken up was the papers submitted by the Bureau of Surgery that had been postponed on the first day owing to the absence of sev eral members of that bureau. The first paper read was on "Supra-Pubic Cystotomy for Encysted Vesical Calculus," by Dr. C. F. "Vischer, of Philadelphia, which -was dis cussed by Drs. Thompson and Korndoerfer. The next paper was "Notes on Intestinal Surgery" by Dr. "W. B. "Van Lennep. The last on in this department was "Synovites" by Dr. L. "W. Thompson, of Philadelphia. The Chair then called for the papers from the bureau of gynecology, of which Dr. Millie J. Chapman, ot this city, is chair man. Dr. "Williard gave a verbal report on "Excisions of the Tibia," not having time to prepare a paper. Dr. Chapman then read a report of two patients under the subject of clinical cases, which was discussed at some length. A paper on the "Sympathy or Ite lation Between Bectal and Uterine Dis eases," by Dr. Sarah J. Coe, of "Wilkes barre, was read by the Chairman. Dr. Pearl Starr followed with a paper entitled "Arsenicum Album in Ovarian Cystilis." The introduction of the bureau of pathol ogy and pathological anatomy finished the morning session. Among the interesting papers in the afternoon Bession were the "Homeopathic Medication of Children and Its Influence on the Health of the Kace," by Dr. Yo cumis. A BULWARK OP HOMEOPATHY. In the latter paper it was argued that the medication of children was one of the main bulwarks of Homeopathy; that it was prac ticed in all ages and by all races; In early times cruelly and lgnornantly, but since the birth of Hahnemann the tieatment had be come known, and stamped by success. In regard to Its influence on the liealtn of the race, the speaker said H was recon structive, advantageous and preservative, and tended to make a child a perfect speci men of physical mankind and of sound mind. The other two papers read were "Hind rances to the Cures of Children's Diseases," by Dr. A. P. Bowie, and "The Effects of Errors in Eating Upon the Health of Chil dren," by Dr. W. J. Martin. In the latter paper it was claimed that nearly all sickness in children was due to the eating of candies and pastries. The report of the Committee on Legisla tion was then received. It was presented by Dr. James E. James, Chairman. It referred to the efforts of the committee to secure the passage of the "medical education bill" and the "medical examiners' bill," both of which bills failed to pass owing, according to the report, to the strong division of sentiment among the different schools of medical prac tice upon medical legislation. Througn this division all the medical legislation of both schools failed. REFORMS ARE DEMANDED. The report further, after giving In detail the circumstances that encompassed their defeat, urged a renewed action, a thorough discussion of the subject and the settlement of a plan of action for the future, whether it shall be a three-board examiners' bill a's a matter of policy, an examihers' bill with equal representation, an educational bill or no bill nt all. A thorough organization of the homeopathic physicians in the State and country districts was urged to bring an in fluence to bear on the Legislature. As there was only a Uttlo time till adjourn ment tho report was referred toa committee, Drs. Parson, Wlllard and Pitcairn, with in structions to prepare a plan for the securing of the needed legislation and to report this morning. A short communication was re ceived from the Women's Health Protective Association of Pittsburg and Allegheny, asking endorsement of one of their maxims, the one that consumption is contagious from expectoration. An appropriate reso lution was passed. The society then adjourned to prepare for the banquet at the Monongahela House. Over 125 guests were present, and everything passed off smoothly. The banquet hall was tastefully decorated with plants and flowers. The Gornert & Gunther urcnestra iumisnea tne music, specencs were made by Drs.J. F. Cooper, V. J.
