Dr Gilliford then offered a long resolution,

This met opposition, tecinse. if was said. It
would lead to a practical blackmailing of
companies -who desired roextend their lines.
Arthur Kennedv thotisht that the resolution
should not lo acted upon at once.
To thU Dr Gilliford replied- " I think that
the old companv had leased its lines to u

and therefore it is vcrv doubtful if it can
be collected " He said the Anditing Com

the information contained in his report, or
paper, hid put nothing down that thev were
not no-ltn e about. Air. Kennedj remarked
that"Dr. Gilliford would not bo able to pro

OTindoirGlass Manufacturers and Workers

A Bricklayer Etportcd as Bringing- Suit Against
Contractors.
A. L. Henderson, commercial agent for
the "Western Union Telegraph Company,
has been in town for the last couple of days.
He sa'd last nigbt that the time service
system operated by the company, in con
nection with the Self "Winding Clock
Company, of Hew York, had grown to
Micli importance in Pittsburg that
the company had decided to establish here
a duplicate of the clock at the Uaval Ob
servatory at "Washington. It will be in
operation in about two months. The com
pany is also about to expend a good deal of
money in, extending the time service to the
Southside, so as to embrace the mills and
factories in that section. "While here Mr.
Henderson concluded contracts for service
clocks in the new Ferguson building, which
will have 119, and the Vandergrift, which
will hnv 0 78. Thei-o is quite a demand for
the time service, and so popular has it be
come here that this city now ranks second
in the estimation of tho Western Union
Telegraph Company.
"It is a big feature in Pittsburg's cap,"
said Mr. Hcndorson. "to bo selected as a
station fora duplicate astronomical regula
tor. When this is established here, and tho
Washington regulator should fail throngh a
broken wire or other cause, the entire East
ern division which includes the country
cast of the Ohio and south to West Virginia,
can be supplied w ith time from this city.
The time will be sent out through a system
of relays, and can work inUependentlv of
Washington. So far onlvClucago, Boston,
New lork and Washington, have an
astronomical regulator. Pittsburg w ill be the
fifth citv to have one.
It h is been decided also," continued Mr.
Henderson, "to rnn a circuit along the
Southside. It will-cost money, but we ex
pect to put a clock in every null and factory
along there. At present there is no uniform
itv in the time, and anj bodv there will
tell you how the mill whistles blow at dif
ferent times for the same hour. The self
winding clocks are becoming vcrv pomilar,
and especially in the Eastern division. Tho
percentage of increase in one year is Terv
large. The companv began to erect a new
building in Xen York, starting out with a
two-story and collar structure. They had to
change to three stories, then to four, until
now It is five stories high, and not big
enougn."

Window Glass Manufacturers and Workers

The Wage Committee of tho window glass
manufacturers and workers met jesterday
at tho office of R. C Schmertz & Co . and de
cided that work should be resumed at last
year's prices The workqrs, on their side,
abandoned the demand fox an increase in
tho g ithcrers' wages of 5 per cent: while the
manufacturers relinquished their elicits to
obtain changes in the working rules. Messrs.
Chambers, Fraree, nart, Loefilor, Lewis.

manufacturers' committee; the workers
being represented bv Messrs. John
Lbcrhart, Swearer, Winters, Conoway
and three others. Tho committee
will meet again nett w eek to decide upon a
date for starting up the fires. Mr. LoefUer
said after the "meeting that It would be be
tween tho 1st and 13th of October." ' Z
The cbnditibn of trade is" ronceded by tho
manufacturers to be poor. The ortlers which
snould have been flowing in by this time
have not appeared. This condition of
things Js placed to tho account of the spring
and summer strikes at various poln ts, tend

of their wage committee's action in resum

40 pupils had been sent home for visiting a

current 'about all kind;of 'epidemics.! A

Tho child visited by sq many school chil

had it that he failed to report the matter to

this, those in charge of the schools' hfrd no

Dr. Duff says his attcntiontwns first called
to the case on Saturday evening, but that ho
did not get toco tho child until Snnday on

visited the child he saw at once that it )ind

For this reason a large number of fliends of

BANDITS SPREAD TEEE0B.
How They Are Thieving From thejfarmers
on the fteubenvlllc Pike.
If certain thieves, not Italian; who have
their habitat between Forest Grove and the
Steubenvillc pike, k-ew to a dead certainty
111 w hat a vivid gliu 0 of light they stood one
nlzlit not a great while since while conduct
ing their thieving operations, there would
probably be a decrease in population in that
locality. On the nigln in question the
villains were loading themselves on the
property of Jonathan Phillips, who has
suffered considerable loss lafely. Tfiey were
observed bv the entile familv and several
hired people in the house by the vivid light
ning which lighted the flrnlamcnt as brill
iantly as noonday at intervals., 60 perfect
was the exposure that the lineaments of
tacli face were not onlv fully brought out,
but the shade of his hair could be ascer
tained, and tho parties were well' known to
tho family.
For reasons best known to themselves the
family let the thieves continue., their
depredations, but should any ot them be ap
prehended ou another charge he will likely
find it an uphill business to attempt to set
up 11 good character, as thecircumstances in
this case are well known In the neighbor
hood and it has been 'greatly troubled by
thieves for some 3 oars past. They poison
dogs when they interfere, and this season
they have been unusually troublesome,
going so far as to dig up transplanted
tomatoes and dig out of the ground seed
potatoes, steal poultry, etc In one case they
stole the mother hens with their chicks and
took a flock of young ducks.

STILL' OUT OF SIGHf,
Fitzsiramons' Hiding Place Is as Much
a Mystery as Ever.
AN ABEEST PROVES FRUITLESS.
Rigid Investigation of the Jail End of tlie
Case Yesterday.
CITT HAPPENINGS SPLICED TOGETHER
Fitzsimmons is still at large. The only
circumstance favorable to his capture is the
sudden falling off in wild rumors of his
having been located. 'The police regard
this as an evidence -that people have re
covered irom their spasmodic agitation over
the escape and are really settling down to
intelligent action. As to the whereabouts of
the escaped murderer there is no informa
tion. There is not even a respectable clew.
But Superintendent "Weir is nevertheless
confident that the man will come to light.
"While being careful to follow every clew,
no matter how improbable, he places chief
confidence in the liberal manner in which
Fitzsimmons has been advertised. If the
missing man is in Pittsburg, the . local
officers will get him. If he is elsewhere, he
will be readily identified by his photograph-!
and description.
Fitzsimmons is such a peculiar individual
that any person ot ordinary perception
could recognize him after carefully study
ing the documents sent out. Probably no
man who ever broke jail has gained such
notoriety.. During the two days of his
liberty over 7,000 circulars containing
photograph and description have been sent
out over the Unites States and Canada tp
police and newspapers by Superintendent

necessity of this is evidenced by scores 1 f
letters received at police headqnarteijs
yesterday asking for circulars As many
more were acknowledgements of the receipt
of the documents and assurances of overr
uling possible being done to put them tp
good use. They came fiom all parts of the
conntrv.
About 7 30 o'clock last evening a telegram
came fiom Chief of Police Delbrugge, of
Wbcoling, stating that a man answering to
the description of Fitzsimmons had been ar
rested theto. He was wired to hold the man
and Detective Shore was sent on at once.
Superintendent Weir at once made prepara
tions for A special train to Wheeling to bring
the prisoner back, awaiting word from the
detective before starting. The answer came
to the effect that it was the wrong man. This,
was the only scare of the day.
? As much interest is centered on the action
nfthcPiison Board as on the search for
Fitzsimmons The Quarterly Committee;
consisting of Mavor Gonrley, Sheriff Mc
Cleary and Commissioner Weir, began their
investigation at 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
They remained at the Jail until G o'clock. A
critical examination of the institution was
made, especially in that portion where Fitz
simmons operated in maKing nis escape.
'Every detail was carefully considered and
expert testimony was taken as to cutting
bars, scaling ropes, etc Warden Berlin and
Deputies Soffel and Marshall were put
through a lengthy cro-s-flre of questions
The result would not be divulged. One of
the committee said
TO MAKE AN OFFICIAL REPORT.
"It would be improper for us to report
to the public before we report to tho Prison
Board which ordered this inquiry. Such
information as we have gleaned will be sub
mitted in the form of a report to the board
at its next meeting. We are authorized to
call a special meeting when our 1 etxrt Is
ready, but it will probably take a few days
to get into shape for presentation. When it
is submitted the public will, I have no
doubt, be made acquainted with its con
tents." Assistant Deputy Warden Robb, of tho
county Jail, returned to duty yesterday aft
ernoon, and was naturally surprised that
any suspicion had been caused by his being
away on a leave of absence. He expects to
be called before -the- Prison Board Investfe
gating Committee today.' "-
A. valuable aid to those searching for Fitz
simmons has been secured in the United
States Secret Servie. Detective Gllkinson,
for whose murder Fitzsimmons was to be
tried, was once connected with this service.
Every United States detective was a per
sonal friend of the dead man and feels a
double incentive to effect the capture of his
slayei. A letter was received yesterday
morning from the Secret Service headquar
ters at Washington asking for pictures and
descriptions of Fitrslmmons and giving as
surance of all the aid in the power ot the
service.
The possibility of a change in the manago
nient ot the Jail and the prospects of tho
man) candidates out were causing an end
less amount of talk yesterday. In addition
to those already in the field ex-Warden
Gang and John Pitcairn weie announced as
aspirants Tho prospects of niunv or those
in the field are decidedly thin. In fact
Inspector McAleese, and ex-Warden Gang
ate apparently the only ones who stand
much chance. In the Court House and City
null, the two. centers of Interest in such
matters, McAleese Is generally considered
to he in the lead. Members of the
Prison Bo lrd have ncarlv all come in con
tacfwltli him in an official way, especiallv
the Judges of the county, who all speak
highly of his abilitv in handling ciiminals.
In addition to this lie has been indorsed by

and crushed between the cars. He was in
jured Internally and had both arms broken.
The deceased was SO years old, mairied and
had a large family. He resided on Thirty

fering with a very badly lacerated hand.
Just how he came bv the injury Mr. Jenkln
son refused to Btate, but the police havo It
that he was engaged in a row and pushed
his fist through a pane of glass.
CONDITION OF C0BA0P0LIS.
Sticking Jn the Mud for Lack or Funds to
Repair Streets.
There Is a pretty kettle of fish cooking in
CoraopOlis. Several thousand dollars have
been spent, souip say misspent, on her
streets and they are muddier than ever, and
the low valuation placed on the property of
tho town prevents a tax levy sufficient to
meet current wants, to say nothing of im
prov ements.
Some time ago a mule got fast in a mud
hole and was more, or less injured. The
owner valued him at $200 and says ho
was so damaged that he was obliged
to sell him at half price, and now he
demands $100 and threatens to sue If he can
not get it. The borough authorities resist
pajment on the, ground that the mule has
passed trom the owner's possession and
they re. use to admit his estimate of damage
and object to the proof he offers.
There is a hole on State street that is of
great length and said to be three feet deep,
and the mud quivers likejeliy. Some days
since a nitro gljcerine hauler, who is sup-
Eosed to have had a load on, tumbled from
is seat and was nearlj- drowned before he
could get out. Instead of condoling with
him, the bystanders Jeered him, and it is al
leged that some Conncilmen were among the
"jeerers." As professional teamstois are
made pay a ehlcle license, they urge that the
roads should be kept in repair, and there
maj-yet he some litigation in consequence.
Buigess Kendall thought to remedj- the
state of affairs by fixing some of the worst
laces himself, but the Stieet and Sewer
epartment interfered and enjoined him
from proceeding further.
All these, circumstances combined are
affecting public sentiment, and a strong
effort will be made to have the assessable
v aluation doubled so that the bonded inter
est tan be made pay Its share of taxes. At
present only about $1,400 a year can be
raised If the mlllage be put as high as tho
law allows. Some of the people would like
to surrender the borough charter and get
back into Moon township.
THE TEST WAS FAIB.
John Vandevelde on the Stand in the Amos
vkcar Hearing.
G. P. Hamilton, master in the Ampskeag
suit, haoanother hearing yesterday and tho
only witness examined wnSJohnVandevelde,
of Cleveland, qneof the three judges in the
recent test of engines 2 and 3.' He said the
test was made for the capacity of tho en
gines and steam recorders were attached.
Figures were taken by the three Judges and
on comparison proved identical. IIo had
knowledge of such matter for 20 years and
the methods used wore those generally
adopted for such tests. The engines were
put on Jacks and steadied, because other
wise they would have vibrated so much that
it would have been difficult to hold the in
dicators on.
He said the test Was jierfcctly fair. The
cylinders undoubtedly filled or the engines
would have gone to pieces. The cross ex
amination revealed no new points.
Had Been In Before.
John Stcir, of "Dutcbtown," was arrested
last night for creating a disturbance on Ohio
street. Steir, on being placed in the lockup,
1 mglied gleefully at the officers and said:
"Oh, 1 don't care if tho Mavor gives me B0

sent up not long ago and got out on a writ.

HEAR .THE STANDARD.
The Exposition Is Not Bringing in
the Trade of Last Year.
VIEWS OF LEADING BUSINESSMEN.
They Do Not Think the Country Buyers
Have Begun to Come In.
BETTER BESULTS EXPECTED KEXT WEEK
Business men say the Exposition is doing
them almost as much good this year as last.
In fact the city is beginning to put on an
expositional appearance, and some of the
merchants are feeling that thrill that ac
companies active trade movement, even
after a man has made his pile and has more
money than he knows how to employ.
There is no denying that the year has been
a strain on some people in business on ac
count, first, of the tightness of money; sec
ondly, on account of the hustling on the
part of importers to get around the Mc
Kinley tariff law, and thirdly, on account
of the criminal neglect of Congress to pass
a wise bankrupt law. The immense onward
strides of the past six years have had the
inevitable result of producing fungi in
business. A large army of mush
room traders has sprung op and
while they do well and are of some use
as goods distributors while money is easy
and all pay cash, many of them have very
little money of their own, and when the
banks pull on the reins they begin to floun
der and then preferred creditors, confessions
of judgments for bogus reasons, and general
skullduggery begin. Nature, however, has
done her part, and the agricultural com
munity generally has something to sell and
will get good prices for cereals. Fruits and
vegetables generally are dirt cheap, but
while this is discouraging to growers it
stimulates business in other ways, as people
of small means will consume more than they
did last year, so that on the whole money
promises to get easier and stay so. Quite a
number of merchants were visited yester
day, and though in some houses the men
who do the talking were not found, enough
was learned to show that trade generally is
in good heart.
what the business leaders say.
E. P. Eoberts & Sons stated that their
trade was up to the standard and that the
Exposition had brought many new faces.
Mr. Home, of Horne & "Warfl, was well
content with tho present and future out
look. He regarded the Exposition as a
feature not to be despised, although the
effect d"f the influx is not yet felt as it Is at
a later stage.
At Joseph Home's the talkvrasof the tenor
that business was greater than at this time
last year, but that it was regarded as a mat
ter of course. He said thev were doing more
business, but had expected to do more and
had enlarged quarters in anticipation so as
to he able to handle more trade.
"W. M. Laird said he had done less whole
sale business than he might have done if he
had pushed it. He has not regarded it as a
year for forcing trade. He said it was an
easy matter to sell goods, but his language
intimated that he did not consider ft the
best policy at all times, evidently having in
view the conditions noted in the preface.
He reported trade in the retail line good,
and said the Exposition made it more active
than it would otherwise be.
AtRosenbaum & Co.'s business was re
ported good, but It was stated that they had
not yet noted any expositional effect of con
sequence, and did not expect it until later.
They said tho extension of tlmo of the Expo
sition would make the rush later In the sea
son, many farmers being yet engaged in
caring for their crops.
HEIGHTENS UP A DULL MONTH.
Mr. Austin, of Ilugus & Hacke, said the
Exposition was a great thing for Pittsburg
business, as it came in September, tho dull
est month in the year. He regarded it as
very vitalizing so far as their.cstabllshment
is concerned. He further sfated that much,
of the paralysis felt of late had been caused
by importers flooding the market with all
kinds of goods affected by the McKinley
tariff law. Credits had extended, and not
only had peoplo been induced to buy bo von d
tho requirements or trade, but a further
effect was thejmrdening of the money mar
ket. Mr. Austin said thev have a good
trade, and it was all cash or its equivalent.
Mr. Biber, of Biber A Easton, reported
bnsiness very satisfactory with his firm,
and said thnt the exposition had brought
many new fnces.
Morri9 Bear, of Kanfmanns', said their
trade was better now than at the same time
last year, though they could not be said to
have fert the Exposition impetns so far. He
further said they did notexpect the country
rush for some time yet, as farmers had not
j et secured their crops but that the excur
sion business was beginning to tell. They
had noticed more strange faces during the
past few day 5, than heretofore this summer.
Produce commission dealers do not-notice
any effect on their trade by the show, but
this is an off yeir with theni anyhow. Thev
aro handling an enormous amount of stuff,
but prices are so low thnt it takes a large
amount of work to swell commissions, and
farmers' deliveries in an abundant j ear de
priv e commissfon men of much trade. They
always thrive best in years when the home
fruit and vegetable crop is a failure. During
the early part pf the season they had their
innings, as the late frosts hereabouts made
the season late, but nature has since been
intense, and second and third plantings hav e
yielded enormously.
Yesterday was "German Day" at the Bx-
Fiosition. There were several excursions
rom outside towns and the crowd was fnir.
The Itavenna Lodge E. of P. band was
