    THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH," TUESDAY . 'SEPTEMBER
homo was situated. Ho told Just how
tho country road wound round the house.
EEfUSED TO MEET T1113 OPFICEHS.
From this it Is tho intention of the prose
cution to prove that both tho rohber and hU
wife had seen the officers and had armed
themselves preparatory lor a fight. In fact
Hurleigh claimed the door opened before
the officers reached it. He then stated that
Mrs. Fitzsiminons and her little daughter
ent out to meet them.
But at tins iomt there was a break in tho
address. Fvery pye was turned on the ac
cused woman. Throughout the entire day
her reaturos had not relaxed for an instant
except mavhaps when her eyes caught thosa
of her daughter's. But when her child was
mentioned she darted a fierce look at the
Prosecuting Attorncv and then a supplicat
ing ono at Major Montooth, hilo bhe 60ftly
said:
"My God: can't my poor babe bo spared
from this digrace?"
Then the attorney continued and accused
Mr. Fitzsimmons of having a revolver con
cealed under her apron and that inclosing
the door sue reached clear across with her
Jclt hand to close the door, although tne
door was on the right side. He further said
it would be proven that Fitzsimmons stood
in the doorway of the next room with a re
volver in either hand. His first shot struck
Murphv. Then Mrs. Fitzsimmons fired the
shot taking effect in Gilkinson's arm. Then
at. that detective plunged forward Fitz
simmons emptied both pistols into his tem
ple. SHE DENIES ONE STKOKG POINT.
Again when Burleigh accused the defend
ant -.f having said during the fight, "You've
got one, now kill the other' she looked at
her attornev and shook her head. Burleigh
clo-ed with" a demand for a verdict of mur
der in the nit degree.
Dr. J. Guy McCandless who held the post
mortem, stated that Gilkinson had a wound
in the head and in the arm.
Detective F. J. Murphy then took the
stand, and gave details as to the warrants
and the trip to the house on the afternoon
or March 2L Then he said: "We started
for Bull's run which is about li miles from
McKcesport. The houso occupied" by Mr.
and Mr. Fitzsimmons was in a ravine

about 5M0 yards from Bull run. We took the
Toad that "lea J- from Duquesne, and did not
Fee the Fitzsimmons house until wo were
-within 300 feet of it. We walked past the
liouse down toward the run, and after a
short talk started back. I told Gil
kinson to watch the back of the
liouse and I went up to the front
5or and on passing through a gate found
Irs. Fitzsimmons and her little daughter
standing in the doorway. Mrs. Fitzsimmons
wore a dark calico dress and a gingham
apron: her right hand was concealed under
the apron. I asked for a family named
Siteimcr and she told me that they lived
Jnrther down the hollow. I then asked her
who lived in that house and she said Mr. and
Mrs Fitzsimmon-.. I asked about Fitzsim
tiKHis and she told me that he was away and
that she did not know when he would be
hack.
J.AID HER HUSBAND WAS AWAY.
"I then nked her when sho had heard
from him and she replied that it was none of
Bay business. Mrs. Fitzsimmons asked my
name and I told her it -n as -Jones and that I
lived in llomestead,and she remarked about
jnv name being a common one. About this
time Sir. Gilkinson came around the hou-o
and asked me what I had learned
and I told him that it was
the Fitzsimmons house, but that
lie was not at home. Gilkinson asked

Iicr husband, and she told him that it was
none of his business, at which Gilkinson
stid to me, 'It this is the kind of a woman
wt bad to deal with, go ahead and serve tho
warrants." I then told Mrs. Fitzsimmons
that I was an officer, and had a warrant for
lite arrest of her husband, also a warrant to
search the housc.The defendant replied that I
could not search the house, and tried to
close the door -nith her lelt hand. I rushed
past her into the house Mrs. Fitzsimmons
then demanded my authority, and as 1
reached in niv pocket to produce the war
rant there was a shot fired, the bullet strik
ing me on the forehead audclaiiciiig'off. The
f-hot was fired from the bedroom, about five
feetawnj, and foru moment I was stunned,
but soon recovered and saw a jnau in the
bedroom ith a revolver in each hand.

"I rushed into the loom, and at the same

I then started toward Duquesne and met
three men, who told me that they had seen
a man, woman and a little girl
enter tho woods. I -then started for
the woods, and failing to find any trSre of
the three people started back for the house
and saw Mrs. Fitzsimmons in tho yard, and
as 1 approached her she said: "My God.
Murphy, you will kill me." I told her that I
wouldn't kill her, but I ought to, and also
nnitl, -You have killed my friend." Mrs.
Fitzsimmons then said she didn't want me
to go into the house, as she knew I would
citiier kill or be killed. I placed tho
woman under arrest and we went into the
liouse. I took Gilkinson's revolver out of
Jili.pocket: not a tshot had been fired out of

the satchel was that I had seen, and she'satd
there had boon none there. I asked her
where Fitzsimmons was. She replied, "Oh,
my God! I think he's dead. He is shot full
of holes."
I then sent Mrs. Fitzsimmons under arrest
to McKeesport. The struggle occurred bo
tween 3:30 and 4 o'clock, and it was 6 o'clock
when I went back to the house. I havo
made some experiments and found that an
ordinary conversation could be heard all
over tho house.'
The witness next exhibited the clothes
worn by him on the day of the murder, and
they contained no less than a dozen bullet
holes.
On cross-examination Mr. Murphy said
that he had never seen Fitzsimmons or his
wite before the day of the shooting; Fitz
simmons was in his underclothing, with a
white shirt on, and his hair was wet, as
though It had J nst been combed. The wit
ness stuck closely to his story and refused
to be cornered by Mr. Marshall's questions.
Magistrate Gripp and 'Squire McMasters
both testified to the wan-ants given to De
tective Murphy as being issued by them on
or about the 21st of last March.

111m Preliminary Meeting of the Prison
Hoard To-Daj.
The Quarterly Committee of the Prison
Board has finished its investigation of the
Fitzsimmons escape. The board will
hold a meeting at 12 o'clock to-day
and the report of the committee
will be presented. The latter body
completed its work yesterday morning and
asked for a meeting of the Board at once.
This was refused because Judge Ewing,
President of the Board, was busy with the
trial of Mrs. Fitzsimmons and did
not wish to be disturbed. Although
the trial will not be concluded he will be
ready to attend the meeting to-day. It was
at first thought that tho board could con
sider and act on the. report at one meeting,
but this has been found to bo wrong.
To-day's meeting will be hut a preliminary
tii iV -gs.
one. It is generally conceded that the re
port of the Quarterly Committee will sug
gest the removal of the present warden of
the jail. Under a special decision of the
Supreme Court.the Board at its first meeting
can simply receive the report. The warden
must then be given 21 hours to prepare
a statement in answer to any charges made
against him. The board must take his state
ments Into consideration, as well as those of
the committee. The board may meet to
morrow at noon to finally settle the ques
tion, but thero Is nothing to show that it
will not give the warden more time. It may
order a further investigation.
The city is full of speculations as to what
the committee discovered in its investiga
tions. One of these was to the effect that
the saws Fitzsimmons used in escaping were
sent to him by Mrs. Clark in a sealed en
velope, the bearer being one of the watch
men, or keepers, of the jail. It was
also stated that frequent messages be
tween Fitzsimmons and other prisoners
were carried by keepers. Deputy Warden
Marshall was asked about this last night.
"I have heard rumors," said he, "to this
effect, hut aside from that I know nothing
about it. I do know, however, that any such
pioceedingwas strictly prohibited by tho
micsm wiu jan, which arc specincontno
subject that all correspondence between
irisoners must come through the office, and
e subject to examination there."
The members of the Quarterly Committee
decline to ovon intimate what their repon.
contains. They will submit it to the Board
and that body will decide whether to make
it public or not,
lleports of the capture of Fitzsimmons are
still coming it. The latest is from Ilazleton,
Pa. A telegram last night stated that early
in the evening a quiet, gentlemanlv young
man walked into the office of the Ilazleton
Plain Speaker. Without exchanging more
than a word with the people present ho
began to critically examine the photograph
and description of the escaped murderer,
Fitzsimmons, on the wall of the office.
Those In the office at once concluded that
the photograph of Fitzsimmons and the face
of their mysterious caller were one and the
same person. After uttering a few words ot
disapproval of the picture and description,
Fitzsimiaons as he is really thought to be
broko and ran.
The police were at once alarmed. All
trams are watched, and everv outlet
closed, and tho mysterious ca'ller will
not be able to leave the city without
being captured. lie still wore his sack
coat, hat and retained tho moustache, and it
is firmly believed by the officers and detec
tives there that he desired to read the de
scription of himself, in order that he might
remove any marks of identification.
STANDARD PLATS GLASS AFFAIES.
To-Day's Scheduled Meeting at Butler Ex
pected to Be Adjourned in Short Order.
Before the Standard Tlate Glass Company
got Into the hands of a receiver, and while
It was yet supposed by tho public to be frco
from financial impediments, a meeting was
appointed for to-day. September 22, to con
sider an increase of the capital stock from
$7.'i0,O0O to $1,000,000. The directors of the com
pany represented that it was a paying insti
tution; in fact, 8 percent dividends were de
clared by them regularly during tho year;
but that an Indebtedness of about $2j0,000
had been incurredin making improvements.
It was to meet this indebtedness that tho
issue of the stock was proposed.
Inquiry yesterday developed that there
was very little probability of the meeting
to-day amounting to anything. It is called
for Butler, where the works arc, at 11 o'clock
In the forenoon. Most of the stock is held
in Pittsburg, and the average Pittsburger
will not delight in the project of having to
catch a train at C o'clock in the morning
trom the Western depot. At the same time
there-continues a decidedly growing inter
est both among creditors and stockholders
in the affairs of the company. It is likely,
therefore, that the management, represent
ing at once the directory and receivership,
will arrange to-day for a future meeting at
Pittsburg, at which all interested in tho
company can ascertain its exact status.
Oueot the points which lend interest to
such a meeting is the contention that if the
$TjO,000 of stock had been paid up cash in
the first place, the comnanv would now be
free from debt and a handsomely paying in
stitution. b
J. It. Sterrett. Pittsburg attornev for the
Standard Plate Glass Company, Faid vester
dav that tho meeting for to-day was" called
CO days ago. It is required by law that a
meeting of this kind shall be sot thus far in
advance, and as the directors are not yet
prepared to take action in regard to increas
ing the capitalization, to-dav's meeting will
be adjourned to some specified time in the
near future.
William steinway, of the Third Xational
Bank, said the meeting would convene and
then adjourn to meet at an early date, as, if
the meeting were allowed to go by default,
another 60-day notice would Do necessary.
The adjournment of this meeting, and tho
postponement of the sale of 600 shares of
Chambers & McKee Plato Glass Company
stock, which was to have taken place yes
terday, led many to suppose that a settle
ment of James A. Chambers' affairs was
under way. Mr. Chambers' could not bo
found, but' his attorney, J. Scott Feiuson,
said the sale had been postponed and would
probably not tako pfnee at all. Further
than this'hc refused to be quoted, saying he
would not bo able to go into further details
without disclosing matters which it was
neccssarv to keep private for the present.
Major Y. G. McCandless, the assignee, said
the sale of the 000 shares of Chanibers
McKce stock had been adjourned indefin
itely, and that the stock would not be sold.
An Alleged Case of Cruelty.
Complaint was made to the Anti-Cruelty
Society last week that six small children
were being neglected at No. U Walnut
street. The case was investigated by Agent
J. A Sweeney, who says ho found things in
a pitable plight. The father, mother and
six children live in a room about 10x12 feet.
Besides tlio family at the house Agent
Sweeny says there were two young men In
the room, who gave no plausiblo reason for
being there. Owing to their poverty tho
parents were simply given warning that
they had better take more care of their
children.

into two tactions, and that each was wishing

best men in the'party have been extremely
felicitous concerning the cranks in both
elements, and as a .naturalist wonld watch
the development of a bug they have looked
through the microscope and noted every
change in the unfolding of wings.
The "Toadstools" left last night on a
special of solid sleepers, and as they pulled
out of the Union station, a wild, re-echoing
cheer for Jack IJobinson resounded under
the sheds. There were about 300 people in
the train, and they were every man of them
"cock-sure" that Eobinson would be elected.
They were provided with free tickets, free
water, and free Havanas.and the courtiesies
of mountain air, tinkling brooks, inspiring
cliffs, rugged rocks and exhilirating scen
ery of all kinds was extended to them.
COLLECTOR WAKMCASTLE IX COMMAND.
Internal Revenue Collector Sam "Warm

man in the county. Everybody wanted to
see him, and he was pulled by both shoul

his heels: Now a colored delegate would
approach him about transportation, and
again another man would pull him around
the corner to say "Just a word." lie carried

run over. .... ., .,
Badges were worn in all colors and styles.a
striking Allegheny ribbon bearing tho in
scription, "We will elect him quicker than
you can say Jack Eobinson."
Upon entering the special train the dele
gates hung up their coats and proceeded.to
play seven up and discuss the situation.
"Who will be elected?" was a question
asked by a Dispatch reporter in each of the
cars.
"Jack Robinson," was the only answer.
"We have onboard about 300 delegates,"
said Mr. Warmcastla, "and will pick up a
hundred more at Greensburg and other
points on the way. Dr. A. S. Barchfeld has
entire charge of the delegation for Mr. Rob
inson from Western Pennsylvania, and I am
merely assisting him.

Notwithstanding this, the Internal Rev

man during the nast three days. His office
has been crowded, and evory minute new

a DisriTcu reporter asked.
"I think not," answered the Collector,

had rjeen organized since September 1 for
the purpose of packing the convention.
THE WORK OP DALZELL.
At the Dalzell headquarters, on tho fourth
floor at City Hall, matters were even worse.
The elevator boy said that his arm was sim
ply paralyzed. "I have carried up LOOP men
Robinson Delegates Leaving Town,
an hour to see George W. Dalzell, Chairman
of the Dalzell Campaign Committee," said
he.
There was a stream filing in and out of
the Collector's office all afternoon, and the
Robinson forces wore broad smiles upon
their faces. They poked each ether in the
ribs, and mutually laughed at something
imaginary that one could only guess at. It
was a hearty laugh, and ghoulish and cruel.
"Are all vour men provided with trans
portation?'' asked n Dispatch reporter.
"Well, I should say so. If you know any
of Dalzell's people who have to walk let us
know and we will tako 'em down on our
train."
They were excee,dinglyJollv and generous.
The Collector denied that, clubs had been
organized by the Kobliiron people since
September 1, and believed that all clubs or
ganized before that time would be ad
mitted. The Dalzell headquarters have been strict
ly under the generalship of George W.Miller,
Superintendent of City Water Assessments,
and his office lias been thronged for two
days. Yesterday he was fiying about tho
city giving orders and dispensing tree trans
portation to Scranton, while his lieutenants
ut the office were busily engaged in explain
ing his absence.
"Mr. Miller is not in," was the usual reply.
"When will he return!" the caller would
ask.
"Can't tell; he may come in in five min
utes, and it may be an hour before he shows
up."
Mr. Miller-was out nearly all afternoon,
but came in at 4 o'clock, finding an office
full of people and a peck of cards. The ele
vator boy Insisted he would resign "if this
fool campaign lasts another day."
TELEGKAMS LIKE AUTUMN LEAVES.
A stack of telegrams as thick as a diction
ary was piled upon Mr. Miller's desk, and
boys were continually coming and going.
Dr. Alex McCandless was supposed to be
Mr. Wilson's assistant in tho campaign for
Dalzell, having his eyo on a future, but, sin-

gle handed and alone, Miller attended to the'
deal.
"Havo vou a campaign committee?" was
asked.
"Yes; I am Chairman of the Dalzell Cam-
Ealgn Committee,', said Mr. Miller, "but I
ave seen no other members since they were
appointed."
It was quite evident that Miller was ruler
of the roost, so far as Allegheny county was
concerned. Major Felter, who heads tho
Beaver county delegation, came in from New
Brighton yesterday and-took quarters at the
Duquesne. Ho is the only Dalzell man from
liis county, having been elected with the un
derstanding that he was for Robinson.
"There are 12 delegates going from Beaver
county," said the Major, "and 11 of them
will vote for Robinson. Three of these aro
from New Brighton, three from Rochester
and six from Beaver Falls. They aro all
mushroom clubs, except the Lincoln Club,
of Brighton, of which I am President.
Whilo I am for Dalzoll I would cladlv
faver a compromise candidate, In whose
choice all tho elements of tho party could
be harmonized. I feel confident that
Robinson had a majority of the old-time
clubs, and since the recent attempt to beat
us at our gamo I am not so sure but that he
has been successful. If the action of the
Executivo Committee in regard to mush
room clubs is sustained Robinson has us
beaten without a contest."
Major McDowell, of Sharon, came in also,
en route to the battle. Ho is naturally a
Dalzell man, but favors a compromise can
didate. "Dalzell is in tho soup," said he,
"and I think wo had better take up another
man."
Colonel E. H. Brady, who has just com-
Sletcd the organlzatipn of a job lot of 35
alzell clubs, was down to seethe Roblnson
ites off.
THE NEW WORK IN THE WEST.
"The new work in the West end of the
State in the interest of Dalzell," said he,
"will aggregate about 300 new clnbs. My
work In ten counties west of the mountains
will amount to 35 new clubs. "Yes, I think
Dalzell is beaten, but if the election were
based upon the club representation nt Sep
tember 1, it would be different."
"You don't mean to insinuate, Colonel,
that the opposition has been organizing
clubs since the first of the month?"
"No, I do not mean to insinuate it. I
mean to state it as a fact. They have done
the bulk of the mushroom work since
that date. Mathew Stanley gave the order
that Dalzell was to be beaten, and that
settles It."
"II the election could have taken place
three weeks ago," said George Miller, "we
would have had an easy victory. As It is, I
havo no opinions to offer. If Mr. Dalzell is
beaten he will heartily support the tie et."
"Where ono delegate goes with the creden
tials of the other two, will ho have a right to
cast tho vote of the delegation?"
"Certainly, read the following from tho
constitution: 'The convention shall be com
posed of three delegates from each club in
the League. Each club shall cast but one
vote upon all questions.' "
A telegram was received by Major Alex.
JE. McCandless last night, stating that he
had arrived in Scranton at noon yesterday,
and had the Dalzell headquarters opened
and in good working order. Many of Dal
zell's friends irom different parts of the
State were on tho ground nnd hard at work.
All of them were inquiring for the enthusi
astic delegation from Allegheny county.
The Dalzell contingent will leavo the

Scranton, Sept. 21. Special. Local
preparatiov.3 for the Convention of State
League Jtepubican Clubs, to be held in
this city "Wednesday, are now complete, and
headquarters of tb.e three principal candi
dates for the presidency are now open. Sen
ator Robinson was the first to arrive, reach
ing Scranton at noon, having spent the night
in Wilkesbarre, where he was tendered an
informal reception. After dinner Robinson
opened up his headquarters in two hand
some parlors on the first floor of the Wyom
ing. These are tho same rooms occupied by
ex-Senator Wallace during the Democratic
convention last year.
Ex-Sheriff McCandless and President
Ford, of tho Pittsburg Common Council, are
the only "Smoky City" nion in town. They
also arrived at noon and are now nursing
the Dalzell boom. They have secured a
handsome front parlor at the Wyoming.
Major Warren's .headquarters were also
opened this afternoon, but he had few vis
itors. Congressman Robinson's headquar
ters were thronged with visitors during the
entire afternoon. In shirt sleeves and neg
ligee attire, he warmly welcomed all his
callers, who IncludedCtho mostjirominent of
local Republican workers.
Major Stuart, of p hiladelphia.the retiring
president of the league, arrived this at ter
noon, accompanied by his private secretary,
intimate friends, and a dozen prominent
newspaper men. They were met at the
depot by Mayor Fellows, many prominent
Republicans, the escort club and Bauer's
Band and conveyed to the Wyoming in car
riages. Preparations are nnderwav to re
ceive the Philadelphia and Pittsburg dele
gates to-morrow. Accommodations have
been provided for a vast number of visitors,
but it the mushroon club's delegations prove
as numerous as the local organizations havo
been led to expect, the armory will not ac
commodate all.
Congressman Robinson, when interviewed
this afternoon, said that his fight was on,
whether tho mushroom clubs were admitted
or not. However, ho took the stand that
they should not be admitted, as it made a
farce of the whole affair. Major Warren is
hopeful and says if the mushroon clubs are
not admitted, he will havo the controlling
votes of the convention.

Carpenters Waiting Action by the
Council on the -230 Matter
TO DESERT TEE BROTHERHOOD.
The II. IT. P. U.Jfocreaslng in Numbers and
Gaining Strength.
ANOTHER STRIKE ABOUT WON AND LOST
The refusal of the Carpenters' District
Council to admit one of the five delegates
from Local Union 230, as reported in yester
day's Dispatch, has increased the bitter
ness existing between the McGuire taction
and those members of the Brotherhood who
desire to see an improvement in the con
duct of the business of the order.
The other four of 230's delegates have de
clined to serve unless the delegate objected
to is permitted to act.
The consequence is that the union is with
out representation in the council, and now
proposes to ascertain from the General Ex
ecutivo Board whether the District Council
will be allowed to rule things with such a
high hand. If satisfaction is not given the
union it is now said will withdraw from
tno brotherhood, taking others with it.
This step is regarded as a foregone conclu
sion. No square deal is expected either
from McGuire or his agents here, and the
dissatisfaction with the officials who brought
an illegal and disastrous strike upon the
trade is said to be increasing daily. It la
said that the onlv means bv which a rnnture
in the trade can be prevented Is by replacing
the present officials by others who might be
more independent of influences from Phila
nelphla than, it is claimed, these officers are.
When the complaint of L. U. 230 has gone
through the proper channels, and ultimately
returns here, about 1,000 carpenters and
iolners will be ready to leave the Brother
lood and form an Independent organiza
tion. This will be Independent of the older
organizatftms, and will be purely local.
Since the strike the locals have been slow
in recovering tho effects of tho defeat.
Some of them have disappeared altogether
and others have one half the number pre
vious to hostilities. The average loss in
strength in the district is about one-third.
THE WOEKEES ALSO PE0TEST.
L. A. SOO Objects to the Statements Made
by Governor Campbell.
The Window Glass Workers' Association,
at their last meeting, rebuked Governor
Campbell for the statement in his Sidney
speech as effectually as their employers. A
motion was regularly put and passod that a
committee, consisting of Messrs. Campbell,
Hammett and Eberhart, prepare an answer
on behalf of the association. This commit
tee reviews the condition of the trade since
1883 and says:
"There never has been, since tne forma
tion of L.A. SOO, a reduction in wages from 13
to 20 per cent, as stated'by Governor Camp
bell. Pending the Mills bill the manufactur
ers refused to settle the wage scale unless a
clause was put in the agreement that if the
tariff was reduced there should be a reduc
tion in wages. The fact is recognized that
when the tariff has been cut down wages go
down, and advance when the tariff advances.
Window glass workers have always stood
solid forprotectlon, believing that a protec
tive tariff is a factor in maintaining a higher
rate of wages than a low tariff, we there
fore denounce any and all parties who make
false statements in relation to tariff laws to
mislead the people. Governor Campbell has
either deliberately made those falso state
ments in order to capture votes or he has
been misinformed as to facts."
ANOTHER. STRIKE BROKEN.
Some of Oliver ISoberts Men Reported as
Offering a Reduction,
The strike at Oliver & Roberts' TwentyA
sixth street steel plant may bo arranged
within a day or two. It has been in progress
since June 30, on the refusal of the firm to
accept tho new scale. So far from accepting
the new scale, the firm took the position
that 20 per cent reduction on the old scale
would about fix matters. The men took an
other view. They thought that tho Carnegie
scale of $1Q 50 as a minimum rate would an
swer. Tile firm could not see it that way,
Sarticularly sinco blooms are selling nowa
ays at about $25.
The men.met last week and decided to of
fer to accept a 10 per cent reduction on last
year's scale; so it was reported last night.
Information on this matter was lately re
quested at Amalgamated headquarters, but
unsuccessfully. Oliver & Roberts have been
keeping their plant very jealously guarded
since their men struck, and there has been
much conjecturing as to what was going on
benfnd the high fence.
Employing Printers Fully Organized.
At ji meeting of the employingjob printers
held yesteiday it was reported that 30 firms
had determined not to sign the scale nor ac
cede to tho demands of Typographical Union
No. 7. Similar action was taken in reference
to the Pressmen's Union demand forareduc
tion of six hours per week and other
changes. A permanent union was adopted.
The officers are as follows: President, Joseph
Eichbaum: First Vice President, T. Sproul,
of Myers, Shinkle & Co.; Second Vice Presi
dent, John Ogden, of Allegheny; Secretary,
A. H. Hollidav, of Best & Co.; Treasurer,
Petty F. Smith; Executivo Committee, H.
C. Johnston, of W. G. Johnston & Co.; W. J.
Kothwicler, of the Pittsburg Printing
Company; Will Kerr, of Murdock, Kerr
& Co.; John I. Shaw, of Shaw Bros., and W.
L. McCullough, of the Duquesne Printing
Company. The association adjourned to
meet again on Wednesday, September 30, at
2 r. M. to adopt a constitution and by-laws.
Slight Difficulty at Shoenberger's.
There is reported to be a slight difficulty
in Shoenberger's on the score of a rate for
heating slabs for tinned plate making. The
firm has lately arranged to supply slabs H
Inches wide and about -inch thick to
tinned platemakers, so dispensing with the
necessity of the latter manufacturers put
ting in a steel plant. The men at these heat
ing furnaces wanted 65 cents a ton, and the
firm thinks 35 is enough. -
The Conspiracy Suit.
Papers have been prepared in the suit by
Thomas Buchanan, representing tho Brick
layers' Union, against members of the
Builders' Exchange. Particulars of this suit
have been mentioned in these columns. The
damages are placed at $5,000 for alleged con
spiracy by the delendants to prevent the
plaintiff from following his trade.
ADVISED TO GO SLOW.
"What Some Local Democrats Were Told by
Their Cliairmau.
A second meeting of Eighth, Eleventh and
Thirteenth ward Democrats was held at the
Moorhead School building last evening to
take action on the nominations for District
'Attorney and Prothouotary. Dr. George W.
Keyser acted as Chairman,, and Edward
O'Brien as "Secretary of the meeting. It was
noticed at the opening that several of the
active workers at the first meeting were
absent. The committee of three appointed
at tho first meeting to confer with Chairman
Brennen, reported that Mr. Brennen told
them to go a little slow with their work.
This report seemed to put a sort of a damper
on the proceedings until William Larder
made 11 lively speech, in which he severely
criticised all the Democratic leaders.
When he was through, several people
jumped up and yelled: "We have no party;
not even a ticket to vote this fall, and there
willbenoDlstrictAttorneynorProthonotarv
nominated." Thesegentlcmensaid this had
been settled by the leaders refusing to
rjscognize the committee from last week's
meeting.
Another committee was then appointed to
call on Chairman Kerr next Monday and ex
plain matters to him. The meeting ad
journed without arranging a date for a
future session.
Indian Summer's Lone Reign.
The weather yesterday was almost torrid.
Many a man was seen on the streets perspir

the heavy clothing lately put on In anticipa

others were prepared for colds and chills if
there should be a sudden change. The worst
of it all is that the weather clerk can't tell
when it will get cooler.

SON AGAINST FATHER,
i
Peculiar Testimony in a. Lunacy Hearing
I TVriy John TVoods Is Supposedly Some
People to Be of Unsound Mind Odd
Accusations.
The hearing in the case of John "Woods,
whom his son "William wants to have ad
judged a lunatic, was begun yesterday be
fore the commissioner, Samuel McClay.
The attorney for the relator was Judge Fet
terman, and for the respondent appear
IC Q. Bigham, N. W. Shafer-nd J. S. Fergu
son. .
The testimony taken yesterday did not
show the respondent's reason to be particu
larly weak; in fact, some of it showed him
to be a rather careful business man. Two of
the jurors are lawyers.
It was shown that on one occasion when
he had a tinner and carpenter repairing a
roof and spouting he went to work to gather
up the stray shingles at a time when some-
.uuig mignt nave iaiien irom tne rooi uuu
injured him. Another instance advanced
wasthatat one time when dividing a crop
with a tenant Mr. Woods got 14 bushels
.more oats than fell to his share. This testi
mony caused some merriment, as this kind
of work in these days is accredited to sanity
rather than insanity. Another instance
supposed by the relator to indicate un
fitness for business was that on one occa
sion tho old gentleman met C. T. Bown and
Baker Snyder, of Mt. Washington, whom ho
had not seen for a year or two, and he did
not recognize them.
John Murray testified that once at a vendue
the old gentleman hugged him. Juror Al
corn Asked the witness the reason of the
hugging, and he said he didn't know; that
some people hugged for oue reason and
some for another. The hug of a grizzly
bear is not usually one of love.
Mr. Fnlmer testified that atone rime he
bought some turkeys on the "hoof" from
Mr. woods, and he attempted to catch them,
whloh might be considered an insane pro
ceeding on the Dart of an aired srentleman.
When Fulmer was paying Mrs. Woods for
the turkeys, Mr. Woods acted as thongh he
would like to have gotten the money him
self. Witness also offered as an evidence of In
sanity a statement that since the old gentle
man nad left tho management of his farm
largely to a tenant the fences had been al
lowed to get out of repair, whereas, under
mo oiu gentleman's management, tney are
always kept In good condition. He also re
lated ns an evidence of weak mind
that when his (Woods') harvest was
being reaped, four or five years
ago, there arose a violent thunder
storm and the old gentleman told
HIgDee to "unhitch and get home as fast as
God Almighty would let him." At another
time when Higbee was collecting taxes the
old man said he had paid his tax. At an
other time Mrs. Woods paid.the tax herself
and refused to allow the collector to go up
stairs to see the old gentleman. This evi
dence was supposed to De for the purpose of
showing that the respondent wasn't in
sound mind and that his wife did not want
the Collector to know it.
Evidence was offered that In 1888, when
Lein.Bozer was sssesslng taxes, the respond
ent acted queerly and whispered in the col
lector's ear tho amount of cash money to bo
listed for taxation; that he also told Bozer
he would lend him money on a common
note and without interest.
Of late years the old gentleman has largely
made his home with Dr. McCormick, his son-in-law,
on Mt. Washington, and it seem
that neither tho doctor nor Mrs. McCormick
have had any fault to find with him, and
that his actions have not occasioned them
any trouble or concern.
Love Meets Love and Peace Follows.
"Love ever finds a way," and this is true
of the principals In the celebrated Love di
vorce case. The bridge between them was
spanned last Friday and they are now living
together in Wilmerdlng, their happiness
unbroken even by the shadow of Dell
Stevens. There was to have been a hearing
In the case yesterday before Attorney Sulli
van. The witnesses appeared and there
came a note from the principals stating that
they had settled all differences, and that the
suit would have to be dropped.

GROWLING OVER GAS
Which the City Has Been Using For
Months Without Contract.
THE COMPANY WANTS PAYMENT.
And Claim the Affair Has Been Decidedly
Unbusinesslike.
COUNCILS HATE DECLINED TO SETTLE
The city is Just now having considerable
trouble over its natural gas hills. A special
committee of Common Council met yester
day afternoon to consider the matter. For
the year ending April 15, the water works
were supplied with gas at fCO.500 for the
year. On April 1 the company sent a propo
sition to Councils stating that this year's
rate would be 6 cents per 12,000 gallons of
water pumped. The matter was not acted
upon in Councils, and when the contract of
the previous year expired the supply still
came from the Philadelphia company. The
last settlement between the city and the
company was in last March, since which
time there being no contract, their bill
could not be paid without a resolution
of Councils. Councils have refused
to accede to the company's rate.
Matters ran along thus until
Controller Morrow sent the bill and the fol
lowing letter to Councils.
Jult21,1S9L
To Select and Common Councils:
I send for your action bill of the Philadel
phia Company for use of natural gas at
waterworks, from June Ito 30, at 6 cents
per 12,000 gallons of water pumped.
I have been informed your honorable
bodies have rejected a proposition from
this company for supplying gas on these
terms.
As no contract exists for the furnishing of
fuel for the water works, I have no right
under the law to direct the Issuing of a cer
tificate in payment of the bill, but under
the law must report the same to yon for
your action.
I have made no audit of the account.
Very respectfully,
E. S. Monnow.
COUNCILS DELAYED ACTION.
The bill amounted to between $7,000 and
$9,000. The communication was not acted
upon by Councils until at the last Monday's
session, when the Controller submittod a
resolution authorizing a warrant for $25,600
to cay for sras consumed un to that date, the
figures having been furnished by the com
pany a few moments before the meeting.
In Common Council the bill was ques
tioned by Mr. Wright, and at his suggestion
a committee was appointed to Inquire into
it. Superintendent Browne, of the Phila
delphia Company, was notified and at the
meeting yesterday afternoon was on hand.
A close scrutiny of the bills and tho figures
of Superintendent Wilcox, of the Bureau of
Water Supply, resulted in reducing the bill
about $2,000.
He then explained how it was that the
city had become so deeply indebted.
Messrs. Wright, Wilson and King, who
who made up the committee, asked Con
troller Morrow why he had not attended to
the subject himself. He replied that he had
nothing to do with the account until it had
been approved by the Finance Committee.
The latter could not act upon it because
there was no contract. Then the committee
questioned Superintendent Browno for al
lowing the account to run so long. That
gentleman also refused to accept the re
sponsibility, and with a considerable show
of warmth said:
CITY CREDIT IS GOOD NOW.
"When I went into the employ of the city
of Pittsburg a number of years ago you
couldn't get a merchant to trust the city for
supplies to the extent of 5 cents. They
were afraid they would be kept out of their
money so long that it wouldn't pay to sell
to the corporation without the cash. I
know myself of accounts that stood for nine
months for supplies required dally. I am
f:lad to say that now it Is different and the
'hlladelphla Company knew it when they
Tailed to shut olr your fuel supply. We
don't object to giving the city credit, but
this is a matter of business, and we know
that the city does not usually do business
that way. Therefore we desire to have an
understanding. We only want fair treat
ment. The city has failed to make a con
tract, but has kept on using the gas which
we have kept on supplying."
The committee here adjourned until 1
o'clock next Monday afternoon. A satis
factory settlement is expected then. If not it
will be carried back to Council.
