Governor Campbell's remarks at Sidney, O., on Thursday relative to the association under one management of a number of tableware manufacturers in the Ohio Valley docs not meet with the approbation of United States Glass Company officials. The Buckeye Governor charged that 1,000 mold makers would be thrown out of employ ment, whereas the number employed in the 35 factories included in the company is about 100. He alo assumes that the ac cession of Dovle & Co within the company will tend to control production, and injure the remainder of the trade. I). C. Kipley.President of the United States Glass Company, lost no time in furnishing the Republican candidate lor the Govcrnor Miip with the true aspect of the situation as far as the charges made against his company were concerned. He mailed the following letter yesterday: rirrsnuno, Pa., Sept IS, 180L "Honorable IVIlIlaniMcKliile, Jr., Canton, O.: "Dear Sin Governor Campbell is re ported to have t-aid in his speech at Sidney yesterday that 'as an illustration of the( effects of high protection it may be said that the United States Glas Company, the 'combine' into which all the glass factories of the Ohio Valley were recently merged, vill make a sweeping change. Hereafter all the molds made bv the trust will be made in three factories. The mold shoDs in orer 25 other lactones will be closed. This Uiance will throw oer 1,000 moldmakers out of employment. COULD NOT CLOSE TWENTY-FIVE. "The newspapers aUo announce that the flint glass firm of Povle & Co., of Pittsburg, lias joined the 'combine, It is claimed lliat the acquisition of Doyle &r Co. will make the combination strong enough to control production, dictate prices and freeze out small competitors. "Now, in regard to the above statement, what are the facts? The whole number of factories at present included in the United States Glass Company islo. How, therefore, is it possible to close the mold shops in 25 concerns? The whole number of mold makers in the 15 factories is about 100. How can the combination then possibly throw 1,000 mold makers out of employment? These statements are a fair sample of what is being misrepresented in regard to this organization. So far from its having been tlie result of high protection the fact is that steps were taken as early as May, 1890, which resulted in the formation of the United States Glass Company. It is not a trust in any sense of the word, but it is the consolidation of the works heretofore separate, the new company having the actual ownership of all the works. It has not iakn into the-organization any companies or firms whose record did not show that they had done a profitable business in the past. "It is not the policy of the company to re duce prices nor to crush out competition. Nor is it the policy to advance prices by reason of any control of the business. The company does not control the business, haviug less than one-half of the capacity of production, and having no intention of taking into the consolidation all or nearly all of the parties now in the business. ONLY SEES OXE WAY. "The fact is that Governor Campbell has taken his fjcts from such sources as the New York F.rtnmqPot, which sees nothing ex cept through free trade glasses. "I thought Ton might be glad to be put into possession of the facts so as to answer this particular misrepresentation of your opponent." Vice President 'William C King -was in terviewed jc-tcrday on thes-c charges of the Ohio Governor He characterized them as pure political buncombe, and as having no bearing en the tariff question. He said that his company was an association ol firms brought together under one management for the purpose of minimizing expenses and maintaining uniformity in the price of goods by nullifying the pow er of individual firms to cut rates. He said that from 0 to 13 mold makers were employed in each plant, and the company never had more than 100 mold makers in its employment. There were fully as many men employed by the company in this department as before the association was effected A badge, the cut of which appears above, was sent'o The Dispatch otlice j esterday, with the compliments of F.

One of the Accused Members of the Dowlin Knsli Cattle Company Makes a State mentSays Ever thins TTaj Conducted in an Honorable Manner. John R. Bush, of the Dowlin-Rush Cattle Company, who is one of the defendants in an equity suit to recover $100,000 alleged to have been fraudulently taken from the stockholders, In an interview yesterday, said: "It is charged that Dowlin, Lantz and myself received stock of the company and never paid for it. This the plaintiffs know to be utterly false. All the stock ever issued to us, or that we ever owned in the company, was paid for in full by us at par before it was issued, and the time when, where and how paid was well known to the plaintiffs from their first connection with the company, and their allegations to the contrary are without any foundation in fact whatever. "It is also alleged that Dowlin, Lantz and myself have never accounted for 5200,000, which the plaintiffs allege we reported we had received from subscribers. This is also false. In the first place, we never so re ported, and-in the next place, all the money received by any of us was promptly paid over to the company and accounted for. The allegation that the company's stock was increased $100,000 to enable us to sell to the comnanv at exorbitant prices a herd of cattle in which we had an interest is also false. The fact is that I opposed the pro ceeding to increase the stock, and defeated the resolution at the first meeting where it was introduced. Subsequently the resolu tion was passed. The stock was regularly issued and sold to various parties, and the proceeds paid into the treasury. Mr. Dow lin and myself were appointed a committee to purchase cattle and other live stock. "We made the purchases, reported them to the company, and the cattle, etc., purchased were paid for in the proper way by the treasurer. Among the cattle so purchased was a bunch called 'the buffalo herd,' in which Mr. Dowlin and mvself had each 55,000, the herd selling for '$35,000, Lantz haing no interest in it. The fact was well known to all parties concerned, and was concealed from no one. Our interest in the buffalo herd was much smaller propor tionately than our interest in the Dowlin Kush Cattle Company, and we, therefore, as was to our interest and the interest of the company, purchased this herd at the lowest price, as we did all the other cattle which we purchased. The prices paia were rea sonable and fair, and were so regarded by everybody concerned. Everything was done openly, and with the full knowledge of the stockholders, and nothing was concealed from them. "Any allegation contained in the bill to the effect that the affairs of the company were improperly conducted by us as officers, or that the accounts were not properly audited, etc., I utterly denv. Mr. Bower, one of the plaintiffs, fiimself was Secretary of the company from the beginning down t o within a little over one year ago, when a new man was elected in his stead, and dur ing this long period no complaint was Heard trom mm in regard to any oi tne mat ters he now sets up in his bill. After his term of office expired, he improperly re fused to turn over to his successors the books of the company, and still wrongfully withholds them. Tfie spirit which, there fore, has inspired the bringing of this suit is easily understood. Mr. Bower himself assisted in making a number of audits and signed them as Secretary."

What tho Allegheny Heating Company Officials Say of the Shields Deficit. Thomas L. Shields, with his attorney, E. T. Cassidy, had a conference with a com mittee of the directors of the Allegheny Heating Company yesterday, at the office of AV. B. Bodgcrs, attorney for the company, and the terms of an arrangement by which the deficit in the Treasurer's accounts is to be refunded were discussed. Attorney Cassidy said yesterday afternoon that the affair was now practically adjusted and that the direct ors had expressed themselvee as being sat isfied with the proposition made by his client. "What this proposition was he re fused to state, but it w as learned from an other source that Shields had promised that the full amount of the shortage would be made good, and that if his assets would not be sufficient his friends would come to the rescue. Attorney "W. B. Kodgers was seen at his office yesterdav, but was non-committal as to the result of the meeting. He ad mitted that a meeting had been held, but would not say who had been present, or what had been done. It was learned, how ever, that President Lysle Directors "Wal ker and Brown and Mr. Shields and his at' tomey were present Auditor Tidball has not yet finished auditing the books, but it is admitted by the directors that the shortage will not be less than 5100,000. who state that if satis factory arrangements are not made and the company secured from loss, criminal pro ceedings will be instituted.

Frank Heber was a "sleeper" at the Twenty-eighth ward police station last evening. He is 75 years old, and walked from McKeesport to Pittsburg yesterday afternoon carrying a large satchel well filled with old clothes over his shoulder. Heber says he came to America from Germany 10 years ago. He said that at one time he was a wealthy land owner, having a farm of nearly 500 acres. Seventeen years ago, he says, his wife died and aleft him alone on his larm. He had two grown-up children, and they advised him to sell his place, which he did, and then divided the pro ceeds among the three of them. He took his share ot the money, which was several thousand dollars, and came to America. He did not prosper here, his money was soon gone and he was forced to lead the lite of a tramp.

THEY PREVENT HIM PROM SELLING Another Western Manufacturer Is Erect ing a Tinned Plate Plant PITTSBURGERS BUSY DEAWING PLANS If the "Welsh tinned plate manufacturers can keep it none of their number will -be permitted to break up or dispose of their plants to re-engage in the business in this country. Letters received here from Pittsburgers in "Wales relate a condition of excitement among the manufacturers which would be entertaining if it did not place one of the tin plate men in a very awkward position. The whole affair turns on the publication, some four weeks ago, in TnE Dispatch, of the announced determination of a "Welsh tinned plate manufacturer to dispose of his interests and re-establish himself in the same business in this country. It was also stated that other makers, whose names were also mentioned, would likely follow in his footsteps. This announcement was made in perfect good faith, and on the authority of this gentleman's own expressed declaration to a Pittsburgcr, and subse quently supported by letters. Some of the "Welshmen attach so much import ance to what appears in The Dispatch relative to their trade as to have copies of each issue of this paper regularly mailed to them. They looked to The Dispatch for reliable news, and were content to ac cept what appeared in its columns as trust worthy. WELSHMEN POSE AS BOYCOTTERS. "When the issue of The Dispatch con taining the account of Welshmen propos ing to embark in the business in this coun try reached Wales it raised a storm around the head of the manufacturer who had foresight sufficient to see that this country would be the future home of the tinned plate industry, and who, with the courage of his convictions, was preparing to move with the tide and realize on his plant wliile it possessed any value as a young concern. This gentleman came to be regarded by his associates as something akin to a traitor to his cause and his country. The news papers took up the matter and re ferred to him as a turn-coat, about as harsh a term as one Englishman can call another. This manufacturer found himself unable to sell his property when the time came. His countrymen simply would not invest; they would not be a party to any such treason as a "Welshman packing up his traps, his own traps, and hieing him to America to make tinned plate there. They assumed that if he could not dispose of his plant he would likely re main in Wales. It was similar witli the brokers. They refused to buy the product of this gentleman's mills; and, in short, both merchants, capitalists and brok ers "boycotted" this enterprising Welsh man. This is the substance of advices re cently received here from the scene of hos tilities in Wales. The sequel to the story is now in course of enaction. HE WANTS THE STORY CONTRADICTED. The Welshman alluded to, when con fronted with all the enormity of his offense in doing as he wished with his own, dis puted the veracity of the statement made in The Dispatch, and sought to show the whole story was without foundation-. He represented wherever it was necessary that what an American news paper should say of Welshmen's affairs was a matter not concerning Welshmen, and that, in fact, the reporter who wrote the story had mixed up names, facts and dates, and delivered himself of a concoction. The only way, this manufacturer concluded, by which be could be set right with his coun trymen and restored to their confidence was to have The Dispatch contradict the statements previously made. So a Pitts burger now in Wales was asked to write to this city and have contradiction made. It is reported here inplacesanthoritatively informed that at least half a dozen Welsh tinned plate manufacturers are considering the question of coming over to this country to establish tinned plate factories. MACHINERY VERSUS HAND LABOR. "If the Welshmen and English capitalists are consistent in their actions,'" said a Pittsburg manufacturer yesterday, "they must find out where these projected emi grants are and treat them to a dose of the same tree trade medicine tney nave pre scribed for the most intelligent and far seeing among tliem. The rapidity with which tinned plate mills are being erected in this country must at last clearly demonstrate to British capitalists two things, namely, that tinned plate will shortly be produced in large quantities in America, and that in such event the Welsh makers must lose, ultimately, three-fourths of their trade; out of 418,725 gross tons of tinned plates ex ported by Great Britain during 1890, 318, 108 tons "were shipped to the "United States. Welsh manufacturers are also beginning to understand that other than their old fash ioned methods, and hand labor will be used in establishing the industry. With Bes semer slabs sold at i cents a pound to the tinned plate maker, the requisite machinery for finishing the plate will be forthcoming to make the article at a cost which, despite the higher priced labor of Amercan mills, will enable it to be sold at little above Enelish prices, duty added. Of the makers now manufacturing tinned or tern plate, every one has improved upon the Welsh system, and is using machinery to execute what is done by hand abroad. Welsh m orkmen are not in especial demand, and are not needed to make the establish ment of the industry here a success. The hope of manufacturers who have sought to profit by the knowledge of Welsh tin plate work ers was that they can get better work done by the American. The day is not very re mote when the tinned plate workers of Wales will be required neither in their own country nor over here. " A NEW TINNED PLATE PLANK. Local engineers are receiving many in quiries for plans, etc., for tinned plate plants. There are not less than a dozen being drawn in offices which could be desig nated. J. E. Reeves, of the Beeves Iron Woiks at Canal Dover, O., is adding a tinned plate to his mill. He has been in town for a day or so making arrangements. He has given a local engineer instructions to draw plans for two mills, with a capacity of 1,000 boxes a week. The directors of the American Tinned Plate Company, of Elwood, Ind., are receiving plans from Pittsburg engineers for the new factory. The question of labor saving ma chinery in manufacturing tinned plate is also receiving attention. One Pittsburg gentlemen hai applied for patents for machinery for washing, cleaning plates and separating the pacK, all of which is done by hand in Wales. The evidences are many to the unprejudiced that the tinned plate industry is taking a grip which is growing stronger each day, and without tear of any detrimental legislation from the next Congress. The duty on the imported product is to remain in force until 1897, and will be removed then, if one-third of any one of the six years' importations of tinned plate is not being made in American mills. That is to say that 100,000 tons of tinned or tern plate must be produced in this coun try by 1897 to retain the duty. In a large number of men, including many politicians of national note, wko were asked if they regarded it as likely the next Congress would interfere with "the tin plate duty, not one expressed the opinion that it could, under the nature of the enactment provid ing for a six years' trial, be honorably done. SCIENCE Latest developments In science and electricity In THE DISPATCH to-mor- THE PITTSBURG -DISPATCH. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER THE SIDEWALK CAME Uf. Sad Plight or a Little Girl Who Had Never Seen a Freight Elevator She Is Itcicued by a Good Natured Irishman and an Engine. There was a very frightened little girl in this city yesterday afternoon. She was about 12 years old, and had evidently been to the Exposition, for she held a ball of popcorn and several picture cards in her hands. She was walking quietly along Wood street, and when she had nearly reached tho corner of Liberty, she stopped to look in the great show window of a wholesale drygoods house. She was ap parently in a reverie of delight as she gazed at a bolt of bright-colored dress goods, when suddenly an awful thing happened. The sidewalk began to go up with her, and almost before she realized the situation she found herself about eight feet above the rest of the people on the street, and still going up. She was too frightened e"ven to scream, but she cast an appealing look at two ladies who were passing, and they came to her assistance. The little girl had stood upon one of the freight elevators that sink level with the sidewalk when they are in the cellar, but that will rise noiselessly through the agency of nnscen machinery when it is desired to use them for moving goods. There was a good-natured Irishman on the elevator beneath the little girl, and as soon as he understood that he had carried up an unwilling passenger he lowered the machine and let the child off. She walked away without a word, but the tears that ran in a" stream down her cheeks showed how much she was npset Tiy her unexpected as cent. It is safe to say that she will be as sured of the firmness of the sidewalk the next time she stops to look in the w indow of a wholesale drygoods store in Pittsburg.

They Say There Is Nothing In Gilllford's Lengthy Statement. Officials of the Pleasant Valley and the Manchester street railway lines were asked yesterday what action they proposed to take in the matter of the report read by Dr. Gilliford, of the Auditing Committee, in which it is shown that the Pleasant Valley company is indebted to the city in the sum of $63,000 and the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester Company 518, 000. They stated very briefly that there was nothing in it. One of the officials of the Manchester Company was seen last night, and, while he refused to be quoted personally in the matter, said that it was the intention of his company to pay promptly whatever shortage was found to exist against them. Commodore Kountz said that the Man chester line had been prompt? in making .payments of its car taxes for 18 years, but lately had allowed itself to fall in arrears in order to bring about an investigation in which the much larger shortage of the Pleasant Valley Company would be brought to light. Georgo Alfred Townsend Visits PittsTonrg. Among the visitors registered at the Hotel Duqucsne yesterday was Mr. George Al fred Townsend, the well-known publicist, whose daily contributions to the press of the country have for 20 years past com manded more attention than those of any other writer. Mr. Townsend's personality is as interesting as his work. From the number of years he has been discussing and describing men and things in his unrivaled manner under the familiar nam deplume of "Gath," one might suppose him to be silver-haired, "and in the "lean-and-slippered pantaloon" staee. In place of hat, he has not yet reached even the youth of old age. but is the picture of the robust health of manhood in its prima. "When Mr. Town send is about writing those unique and min ute details concerning public men which distinguish his letters, he travels right to the place w here the facts can be gotten at first hand. It was a trip of that sort to look into early facts about Albert Gallatin which brought him to Geneva, whence he ex tended the tour, with his stenographer, to Pittsburg; and to-morrow he will go away with bushels of pertinent points about this place, to be used, we trust, with advantage and interest to Pittsburg and to the outside world in the future. A D0G-G0NE MEAN THICK. Lively Time of the Allegheny Detectives After a Blooded Dog. Fred G winner, the well-known Allegheny contractor, recently brought with him from Europe a beautiful dog of a breed resembling the St. Bernard. He was a monstrous, good-natured fellow and a faithful watch. Mr. Gwinncr valued him very highly, and he had been greatly admired by all who have seen him. Wednesday the prized and petted canine disappeared and a search was instituted for him. Mr. Gwinncr, whose family had become much attached to the dog, placed the matter in the hands of the police, and employed de tectives to hunt him up. Last evening Mr. Gwinner's son, who had spent his entire time in a hunt for his lost friend, found a clew which lead to his discovery. The dog was found in a cellar in Woods' Bun, where he was being kept out of sight. It was probably the inten tion to snip the valuable animal to another city. Important TJ. P. Convention.

A ONE-SIDED FIGHT FOR WARDEN. Moorehead-McCleane Creditors to Examine Accounts. NEWS OF A DAT ABOUT THE TWIN CITIES The investigation of Fitzsimmons escape from jail is not yet finished. The Quarterly Committee of the Prison Board spent its second day at the work yesterday. When it adjourned at 6 o'clock last evening the ground had not all been covered. One of the most import- ant witnesses examined was Cora Wyatt, ofUniontown. She came to the city on the order of District Attorney Burleigh to fnmish additional bail in the Fitzsimmons case, it having been decided that her secur ity was not large enough. The Quarterly Committee, in consideration of the fact that she had been reported ns communicating by signals with Charles Clark prior to the ercape, desired her testimony. Whether any valuable information was secured from her will not be known until the committee makes its report. Other persons examined yesterday were Keepers Michael Price, James Irwin and James Larimer. Assistant Matron McCann and several prisoners were also before the committee. Among the latter was Holmes Anderson, awaiting trial in the case of John Gunsaulis, killed in West Liberty borough several months ago. After the Fitzsim mons escape Anderson told a story about having been offered 81,000 to help break jail. The committee desired his sworn statement. Several other prisoners appar ently knew of the plan before it was executed, and they were all put through an examination. IT WAS A STAK CHAMBER SESSION. The members of the Quarterly Committee refused to tell anything about what infor mation they hadained except that there was considerable of it that would be inter esting when made public That will not be until the committee reports to the Prison Board. As there is a vast amount of the stenograpbio report of the investigation to be reduced to typewritten copy it is possi ble that the report will not be presented be fore the next regular meeting of the Board in October. It is expected that the investi gation will be finished to-day. There is no longer any concealment of the fact that the result of the Investigating Committee's action will be the removal of the present Warden. Even as to his suc cessor there appears to be little doubt. Members of the Prison Board refuse to positively commit themselves, but it is evident that there is an almost unanimous sentiment among them for Police Inspector McAleese. This senti ment is being backed up by letters and other expressions of public feeling. Several candidates have already dropped out of the race and others will do so to-day. Public officials generally, who are familier with the qualifications of Mr. McAleese, have openly indorsed him, and, unless the aspect of affairs changes, there is little doubt of the result. ANOTHER CATCn IN WEST VIRGINIA. The author of the whole difficulty is still at large. Yesterday morning Police Super intendent Weir received a telegram from Blackstone, W. Va., stating 'that a man answering the description of the missing murderer had been arrested there. The message asked for additional particulars about Fitzsimmons. The only discrepancy between the man arrested and the man wanted was that the former weighed 150 pounds, while the latter weighed but 135 pounds. Superintendent Weir telegraphed a full description of Fitz simmons and requested prompt reply. At a late hour last night none had been re ceived, indicating that he was not the right man. William Fitzsimmons, a brother of the escaped murderer, arrived in Pittsburg yes terday morning. He had originally mado arrangements to leave Brock ville, Ontario, to come here, and attend his brother's trial. Just be fore starting he learned of the escape. He did not allow this to niter his plans, but came right on. At the jail he asked per mission to speak to Mrs. Fitzsimmons, but was refused. Later, he was seen at Attorney Marshal's office, in company with the murderer's little daughter. He declined to talk about his brother, except to state that he did not believe he would ever be caught. Several thousand more photographs and descriptions of Fitzsimmons were sent out yesterday to all parts of the country. The police are determined to have the man thor oughly advertised. Thev are working every point that looks like a clew and are still confident of his capture. KNOCKED HEB SENSELES3. Wolf Savaso Held to Await the Result of Mrs. Meyerslrarg's Injuries. Wolf Savage, a scrap iron peddler, was lodged in the Central station yesterday. He will probably be charged with murder. Savage is a resident of Magee street. On last Wednesday he and Mrs. Rebecca Meycrsburg, of No. 23 Magee street, took up a quarrel of their children. A child of Mrs. Meyersburg took a slate from Savage's child, causing a dispute. The parents took a part in it, and Mrs. Meycrsburg finally slapped Savage in the face. He retaliated by knocking her down. In falling, it is said, her head struck the tire of a wagrn wheel, and she was knocked "insensible. She was carried into her house and physicians were summoned. She had a large gash in her head, and her right shoulder was fractured. She was in a deli cate condition, and they prononnced her in juries serious. She never fully recovered consciousness, and has not spoken since her injury. The physicians say she can hardly live until morning. Savage was arrested at the time, but was released on ?500 bail by Mag istrate Gripp for a hearing yesterday. When the serious condition of Mrs. Meyers burg was learned he was rearrested and locked up in Central station to await the re sult of her injuries. Mrs. Meversburg is about 38 years of age and the wife of Jacob Meyersburg, a peddler. She has three chil dren. "WILL INVESTIGATE THEMSELVES. Two Committees of the Moorhead Creditors Will Look Into the Accounts. The creditors of the Moorhead-McCleane Company met yesterday at the office of George Shlras to consider the matter of granting the extension. Mark W.

A meeting of citizens of the Second, Tenth and Twelfth wards, Allegheny, was held last night in the Lithgow avenue school house, Second ward. The object of the meeting was to take action toward hay ing a new ward created out of the hill top districts of the three wards. A large num ber were present. A. Leggate presided and J. M. Lyon acted as Secretary. When the meeting had been called to order, Secretary Lyon announced Its purpose. He said that the hill top districts formed a corner of the three wards named and was practically isolated from the balance of each of the wards. The school house was the most convenient for all of them, and if that territory was formed into a new ward they could get the Bchool house and have everything more con venient. They could also have their repre sentation in Councils to secure them im provements, though they had no complaint to make atrainst their present respective representatives. The children of 'the Tenth and Twelfth wards are now a long way from their schools and should be nearer though they w ere receiving courtesies from the Second Ward School Board. When Mr. Lyon concluded a short dis cussion ensued, all favorable to the sug gestions made by the speakers. Mr. B. S. Smith then moved that it was the sense of the meeting that they have a new ward for the hill-top districts of the Second, Tenth and Twelfth wards. The motion was unanimously adopted. It was followed by another by Mr. Smith that the chairman appoint a committee of three to look into the matter of making a ward of the districts named and to consult the City Solicitor and ascertain what is to be done legally to accomplish their object. The committee is to report to a future meeting to be called by them. This motion was adopted and Messrs. B. S. Smith, E. J. Briggs and J. M. Lyon were appointed on the committee. , Snap Shots at City Matters. Chiep op Police Louis Delbhuqqe, of Wheeling, was in town last night on a busl uens trip.

SPORTS DECLARE WAR An Organized Effort Will Be Made to Drive Oat All the Pineys. THEY KILL THE GBAY SQUIRRELS, These Pests Also Destroy the Game and Song Birds. A CLETER PUN FOR TRAPPING THEM A crusade is to be made against what is known in this neighborhood as the red squirrel or pine squirrel, not the chip munk. Some people will tell you that all creatures have a specific purpose to perform and yet these same people will make war on bedbugs, mice, lice, roaches, etc, giving the lie to their profession of faith. But the war against the pine squirrel has been waged by sportsmeif for a considerable time and now some farmers are taking it up. Attorney N. W. Shafer calls attention to the ravages of the animal. In his tour after gray and black squirrels in the western part of the county he found the larger varieties very scarce, while the impudent "piney" confronted him on every band. He states that the farmers have in some neighborhoods declared that it must go. It is not only very destructive on cereals, but it is an Ishmaelite among the animal creation what the sparrow is among song birds. It not only destroys the young of the gray squirrels, but devours the eggs of song birds, quail, grouse, and in fact of all birds. TINE SQUIRRELS AEE PIRATES. It partakes much of the character of the weasel under the shape of a squirrcL It is courageous, pugnacious and impudent to a degree surpassing any other beast of prey except the weasel, and when it congregates in numbers other squirrels are forced to va moose. Its especial hatred seems to be against the gray and black squirrels, and one who can imitate the "bark" of these squirrels can in a lew minutes collect the "pineys." They come chattering from every direction, with fur erect and tails spread like an angry cat. Country boys often take advantage of this animosity to collect the red demons within shooting distance. Though small game their flesh is very tooth some, and in some localities an energetic sportsman can kill 100 a day. They are evi dently very prolific Although shot in im mense numbers every year, they still man age to keep up the supply. In 1863 a town hunt was organized in Palmyra, Portage county, O. The town, like others on the Reserve, is five miles square, and a line of shooters placed at short distances apart sur rounded the whole town one morning, and started to meet at the center. STORY OF A FAMOUS HUNT. They carried every conceivable form of gun then known, and were not allowed by the conditions of the hunt to shoot any thing except noxious vermin, aside from Sine squirrels. About the mid le of the afternoon they met at the center and made the event. In addition to the weasels, skunks, etc, they had killed 1,152 pine squirrels, and supposed the pest would give them a rest for that year, but the very next week there seemed to be as many in that township as there were before the hunt. Continued hunting has thinned the ranks, but yet there are enough of the Ishmaelites left to materially lessen other desirable game in the country.
