CHAMBERS AGAIN CHOSEN.
Ho Says the Itcturn or His Position nt
.leannette Does Not Mean a Settlement
With McKee Why the Butler Meeting
Wns rotponeil.
James A. Chambers was yesterday re
elected a director of the ChnmbcrvMcKee
Glass Companv, of Jeannette. This led to
the general belief that there is a settlement
in sisht. The old board, consisting of
James A. Chambers. If. Sellers McKee,
John M. Kennedy, Robert Pitcaira, D. C.
Bricfecll. D. & Cloy and Horace Magcc, was
re-elected.
Mr. Chambers last evening said that ho
knew nothing of the reported meeting in
which he differences between himself and
Mr. McKee were alleged to have been set
tled. He aW that lie had seen Mr. McKee,
but that there wa. no settlement so far nshe
knew, and he supposed he ought to know.
He knew nothing about tlio meet
ing of the standard Plate Glass Com
pany at Butler, but Mippood that it
had been adjourned according to pro
gramme. Mr. MeKeo was not present at the
Sutler meeting, he said, but supposed that
it had been conducted according to pro
gramme. It wax the purpose to increase tho
capital stock ol the standard Plate lns
Company from $750 WO to $1,(00,000 to cover
improvement'. Attcr a conference it was
decided to postpone this action, for the al
leged reason that a -statement ot the McKee
Chnmbers affairs 'was in progress.
A I the Jeannette meeting yesterday.it was
cnriYntly renorted, a reconciliation between
Mr. Chamber and his partner had taken
place, but this proved to oe merely a rnmor.
According to statements made by stock
holders last night Mr. Chambers was re
elected as a matter or Justice, having a large
amount of toeL at stake, but there were
no indications that he would ever resume
Ills former position at the orks.
Mr. Chambers said Ia9t night that his orig
inal plans for the erection of another glass
plant were progressing to his satisfaction,
and that in 11 short time the matter would bo
fully developed.
A special from Butler last evening said:
"The stockholders' meeting of the Standard
Plate Glass Coinpany.whicli was to have been
held here at 11 a m., was postponed until
October iT. Neither the receivers nor any
of the Pittsburg stockholders were present.
The postponement had been prearranged.
It is understood that at the next meeting
the stock w il! be increased from S730.000 to
1,000,000. The new stock will likely betaken
lip by old stockholders and the present in
debtedness w ill be wiped out. The delay is
caused bv pending negotiations regarding
tho Chambers A. Schmertz stock, w hich ag
gregates about one-third ot the whole
amount. The plant is running full time and
lias plenty of orders on the books."'

LUCY'S OWN STORY,

Addresses To-Day.
Lucy R. Fitzsimmons, apparently as
little concerned as any spectator in the
court room, yes

the second day
of her trial for
the murder of
Detective David
Gilkinson. 1 1
was evident that
she was wary,but

Soon after the
opening in the
afternoon, the
Major JTontooth. widow of the
mnrdered man came into court and took
her seat almost opposite Mrs, Fitzsimmons.
The two women eyed each other furtively,
but soon the prisoner's eyes settled steadily
on Andrew Doenges, and subsequently on
his brother Peter, and she kept them there
until they finished their stories. Both
women were dressed in deep black.
"When put on the witness stand Mrs.
Fitzsimmons seemed to think she had am
ple time to tell her story and very rarely
allowed her words to come close enough to
gether to tangle. In fact, one might have
supposed she was giving a model talk,enun
ciating her consonants so distinctly that
she could be heard clear to the rear of the

room, although her voice was not raised
above an ordinary conversational tone.
Her grammar, however, was not up to the
standard. In quoting Murphy she said
very dramatically: "Them's his words, so
help me God." At this point she dropped
her voice in the most approved falling ca
dence, but it did not meet with Judge Sw
ing's approval, who said:
"Don't let your voice fall that way in
making a statement." ,
Lucy replied that she'd try not to and
went on more dramatically than before as
she told how Gilkinson angered her when
he spoke to JIurphy and "winked his other
eye." Lucy finally climaxed very grace
fully, almost as well as a professional could
have done, by bursting into tears just where
Gilkinson falls across the hearthstone, and,
throwing up her veil, wiped her eyes with
a graceful sweep of her left hand.
STORY OP THE DErESSE.
She then went on to relate subsequent
events in the confused tragedy in which
she made her little girl play a star part.
She related her parting with her husband
soon after the shooting and how she as
sured him of her confidence In the support
of God in their trials. At tho propor place
she arose to her feet and remained standing
a considerable time.
Just how the story may have affected the
jury could not be noticed, but from tho mut
tered remarks heard among auditors, it was
evident that Lncy overdid it, so far as thev
wcre concerned. Her story was too circum
stantial and photographic in detail to carry
thc full measmo of conviction it miht
otherwise have done, had tho oratress been

less prolix. At length Judge Ewing, after
shif ttng uneasily for somo time, i omarked
that in his opinion therj was considerable
irrelevnncv in the story, and Mr. Marshall
taking a hint, whistled down brakes, and
tho examination subsequently went on in
jerks, question and answer, though Mrs.
Fitzsimmons' elocutionary and dramatic
talent could not be eiitiiely engulfed.
It wasn't qnite so smooth sailing after At
toniev Ilobb commenced cross-questioning
Mrs. Fitzsimmons, but then he wasn't quite
so deferential to the witness a9 Mr. Marshall
had been, and persisted in calling her nico
littlo four-room house a shanty, and empha
sized Tiie tact that according to her own
storv sho had gone for country air in March.
She kept her nerve, however," and stuck to
her story r.ilrly well, and there w era lawyers
present who thought it might favorably al
lect the averago Juror. Tftu cross-examination
by Mr. Ilobb was meiciless, and It
finally had the effect to rattle thoprisoner
somewhat. She was on tho stand almost two
hours, nnd on resuming her seat embraced
her little girl with much fervor.
Judge McClnng sit on the bench with
Judge Ewing, nnd tho audience -was more
than Usually scattered in the room owing to
the order to keep the curious out, though it
rcw larger toward evening, as lin
er some pretext or other those who
knew tho ropes got in. The audlenco craned
their neck to note the ollcct of tho meeting
of the two women, and theywith their black
clothing would hae attracted attention in
any crowd. Confinement lias improved
Mrs. Fitzsimmons' appearance. Her skin is
,, IjjgaW t -J6b in
of marble whiteness and it contrasts
strongly with the color of her garments.
Tho haggard look has also disappeared.
GOT MIXED OX THK JJKAFT.
On tho whole, it was generally agreed that
Lucy stood tho ordoal quite well, though sho
involved herself in somo Ugly contradic
tions regarding tho matter of the draft
which are not likely to do her any good.
Mr. Marshall was very much on tho object
ing lay, but singularly nnfortnna'to, Judge
Ewing generally ruling against him.
Tho evidence taken in tho mo ning was of
out littlo interest. Thomas Tlowers, aMc-
Keesport photozrapher, testmea to tne puo
togrnphs of the honso at Bull Run and to
tho experiments made to show that a con
versation at tho door could be heard all
through tho houso. Detective Murphy, by
means of tho photographs, explained the
principal points of tho tragedy to tho Jury.
Mary Nicoial, a 10-year-old girl, was
brought to tho stand in teals, Judg Ewinfj
quieted her and she told her story. She hail
been at tho Fitzsimmons house playing with
the little girl. Sho saw Fitzsimmons bring
a satchel to the house and she identified the
satchel found in the woods as that which ho
carried. Mrs. Rose Xicolai, mother of the
child, testified to her daughter making the
visit.
Countv Detective Eellzhoover produced
the satchel which was admitted as evidenco
nfter stout objections from the defense.
The stolen jewelry was also described by
the witness.
.Inmes F. Xeal testified to flndinir tho
satchel in the woods. John F. Schmidt, tho
leweler, identified tho stolen goods, and
Laura Hill sworo that a listot the goods
found in the satchel was in Fitzsimmons
handwriting.
Dr. McCandless was recalled and asked
about the wounds of Detective Gilkinson.
He said tho wound in the arm was made
when the arm was c-ttended. It could not
have been made when the man was on the
floor. Tho bullet entering the arm could
not havo struck the head, and the bullets
which entered the head could not have
mado the wound in tho arm.x
Louisa Lynn testified that Mrs. Fitzsim
mons onco took a revolver from tho cup
board and said sho slept with it under her
head. Pauline Steiner corroborated this
evidence.
Sallie Xicolai said she had lived with the
Fitzsimmons lainily. Mrs. Fitzsimmons
had a revolver. She slept withdt under her
pillow at night and kept it in tho cupboard
during tho day. It was a larger weapon
than Mr. Fitzsimmons, and was light.
Somo other immaterial testimony was
taken and court ndjourned for dinner.
The first witness in tho afternoon was
Warden Berlin, of the jail. He knew Mr.
and Mrs. Fitzsimmons; they were committed
to jail on March 23.
Sir. Burleigh Did you have any conversa
tion with Mrs. Fitzsimmons about a draftt
Mr. Marshall I object.
Judge Ewing (glancing at the reporters'
table) State your objections quietly.
TALKING 0 A DELICATE SUBJECT.
The attorneys then gathered about tho
stenographer's table and they talked In a
very low tone, Judge Ewing coming down
from the bench to join in. The m-itterunder
discussion was a draft of $6,000 given by
Fitzsimmons to his wife Just heforo the ofll
cers entered tho house tnts draft Mrs. Fitz
simmons placed in her mouth. After the
talk between the attorneys Judge Ewing
sustained the objections.
Detective P. J. Murphv was recalled and
said that the revolver taken from Fitzsim
mons was bright and shining.
Andrew Doenges testified that lie was at
tho house after the shooting and heard Mr.
Mnrphyaskfor tho satchel and Mrs, Fitz
simmons denied that there had been any
satchel in the houso. Peter Doenges, a
brother of tho preceding witness corrobor
ated tho testimony of his brother.

HER VERSION OF TIIE CRIME.
After a fow more preliminary questions
the witness told her story, which was as
follows: "On tho 21st of last March I lived
in a house near Bull run, in Mifflin township.
The family consisted ot my husband, my
littlo daughter and myself. I moved Into
the house On the last Thursday in February,
and'my husband was absent from home
from the last Monday in Tebi nary. 3Iv hus
band returned home on Thursday, March
19. about 8 o'clock in tho morning, and
went away that ovening again. I don't
-remember that ho had anything with him.
Ho returned homo on Saturday morning,
March 23. My husband is a small man,
weighing about 129 or 130 pounds, anil was
Very delicate. When he xeturned home on
March 23, he partook of a glass ot milk and
then played about with the little girl. My
husband -vent to bed about noon and some
time after 3 o'clock I had been having a
lunch with my little gill and we were going
out to gather some eggs. I was standing in
tho door waiting for tho little girl to conic
when a man stepped tip to the door. I can't
be positive if he laised his hat tome. Ho
asked me for a family named Stein, and then
asked me w ho lived in that house, and ques
tioned mo about Mr. Fitzsimmons. I told
him that Mr. Fitzsimmons was not in. Ho
then asked mo if Mr. Fitzsimmons would be
in tho next day, and I told him that ho
would if he wanted to sec him. Just then a
small man stepped up and winked his eyo at
mo. I did not like that, as I th. ugnt it was
iiotgcntlcmauly,and that he cither wanted to
insult mo or make a fool out of me. Mr.
Murphy then asked mo if my husband
wasn't away a grc.it deal, and I replied that
he was. I asked Mr. Murphy his name, and
ho s-iid that it was Jones, and I replied:
A very old-fashioned name.'" At this
point the witness stood up in tho box
and continued: "1 said, '1 don't like vour
friend's winking at me", and Mr. Gilkinson
said: Ton c0 tne devilish woman we have
to deal with.' " Here the witness remarked
very tragically: "Them were his words, so
help mo God."
Asshespoko sho raised her eyes to the
ceiling and stood in that position fully half
a minute, the silence in tho room being in
tense. Judge Ewing kindly requested her
to resume her seat, which sue did and con
tinued her story as follows: "My littlo giil
was standing in the doorw ay w hen Murphy
grasped me by the arm and pushed mo into
the room. I screamed, and tho next thing I
heard was shooting. I could not toll
w ho was doing the shooting; it seemed to
como from all of them. I saw my husband
standing in tho room in his underclothing.
When tlio shooting began I wad weak and
closed my oyes. My husband was standing
in tho bedroom door and Mnrpby was in tho
kitchen; they were both firing at each
other.
TKIED TO r.ESCUE HEK CHILD.
"My child was in the room screaming, and
I tried to go in and get her away. I saw Mr.
Gilkinson rush into the room and
get behind my husband. I thought
he was going to grasp him
by tho waist. Jusfthen I saw Mr. Gilkinson
reel and fall and I yelled at the child to get
under tho bed. When I got into the room I
saw Mr. Gilkinson lying on tho floor, and I
said: "For God's sako stop th s and tell mo
what you mean." At thisiolnt tho witness
broke down and wept, but soon rocovoiqd
her composure. "Mr. Murphy and my hus
band were in the corner .wrfestUHK and ns I
reached toward the door Mr. Murphy
shot mo in the arm. 1 then saw
Mr. Murphy raised his revolver ns though
to strike inv husband over the head with it
and Mr. Fitzsimmons called out: 'Mama,
he's got mo; get me n revolver quick.' I
went to the cupboard and got n rovolverand
gave It to him. Mr. Murphy then Jumped
up and ran out of tho house with my hus
band following him, and I yelled, 'For God's
sako stop.' I can't say whether my
husband shot out of tho revolver
I gave him or not. I looked out
of the window and said Mr. Murphy turn
nnd firo at the house. I closed the door,
and my husband staggered into tho bed
room and pointed at tho man lying on the
floor, and asked mo what he would do, and I
replied: "There is no hope; Lord ,have
mercy on us all." Mr. Fitzsimmons then
said to mo that while there was life there
was hope. I said to him: 'For God's sako
go to town and give yourself up,
or they will como here and take
you. You mnst go nnd God will protect
you.' I helped him to dress nnd saw blood
all over him. As soon ns he got dressed ho
left thehouse. I took the little girl by tho
hand and ran out of the house and went up
to Mr. Rhodes' house, but no one was at
home, and the dogs barking frightened me.
I then returned home and looked at the man
lying on the floor.'
SHE CABED FOR THE DEAD.
"There was blood about his mouth and
nose, and I got a wet towel and wiped It off,
after which I started for Bull Bun in order
to get some one to help mo.
"On my return Murphy was there and
called me a 'hell cat' and a liar, and said he
ought to shoot mv heart out. Then I threw
a cloth over- the dead man. Mr. Murphy
saw a ring on my finger and demanded it,
and I told him that It wa my wedding ring.
One of the men standing outside said: 'Don't
take tho woman's wedding ring,' nnd Mr.
Murphy replied: 'I know something about
that ling; take it off,' and it was taken from
mo. I was then turned over to two men
and sent to McKeosport."
The witness domed saying at anv time
"Von got one, now kill the other." The
pistol she had in the cupboard was given to
her bv her husband some months before,
and during all the scufllo she denied firing a
shot. She reasserted that Gilkinson was
behind her husband when he was shot. She
did not seo tho two officers until they
reached the house. The officers did not
tell her they had a warrant, nor did they
show-herone. She did not know anything
of the Schmidt Jewelry robbery and never
was in Homestead in her life. Sho did not
know that there was any charge against her
husband or any warrant for his arrest.
There were but twoirovolvers in the house
and the one owned by her husband was a
black revolver.
B)BB COULD HOT MAKE HER TALK.
The cross-examination was conducted by
John S. Kobb, Esq., whose first question was:
'What is your husband's correct name?"
"Frederick Carrolton Fitzsimmons."
"Any other name?"
"That was all I knew."
"Never heard of him as A. G. Budd?"
"So, sir; never heard him communicated
with by that name."
"Where did Mr. Fitzsimmons go when he
went away?"
"1 don't Know."
"Did he ever tell you where he went?"
"No, sir."
"Did he give you his address?"
"No, I never wrote to him; he generally
wrote to me."
"Did he have anything with him when he
came home?"
"He alw ays had a satchel."
"Is that his satchel?" exhibiting the one
found with the stolen jewelry in it.
"I couldn't swear to that."
"You are careful not to say that is it."
"I am careful not to toll a lie."
"What did ho do with the satchel?"
"I think he put It in the closot."
"Didn't he set it under the window near a
little table?"
"I don't know; I don't think so."
"Did he toll yon wnero ho was going that
night?"
"No sir. He said it was none of my busi
ness, and that womon's tongues would hang
him."
"When ho came back did you ask him
where he hnd been?"
"I think so."
"What did ho tell you?"
"He didn't answer."
"Now wasn't that satchel in tho room that
afternoon?"
"I didn't see it."
"When you bathed the blood from Gilkin
son's month was he breathing?"
"He was making a gurgling sound." Tho
witness once more gave way to tears.
"How many revolvers did your husband
havo in his hand?"
"Only one."
"How many did Gilkinson have?"
"One."
"Gilkinson was firing, too?"
"I cannot say that, sir."
"What was your husband's business?"
"He told me he was a traveling man, sell
ing goods on commission."
"How long have you been married?"
"Six years."
"Where were vou married?"
"In Camden, N. J."
"How long havo you been in Pittsburg?"
"About three years."
HOW SHE HID THE DRAFT.
"Did your husband give you anything
during or jnst before tho trouble in the
house? I mean a check or dra It."
Mr. Marshall I object; tho question is ir
relevant. Judge Ewing Objection overruled.
"Yes, my husband gave me some money
and a check or draft."
"Where was that at the time of the
trouble?"
"In my pockettook."
"Did j'ou carry it in your mouth at any
time?"
"When I was going to McKeespoK I tore
off a piece of my handkerchief, wrapped
the draft in it and placed it in my mouth."
"How long did you keep it in your mouth?"
"Until Monday morning."
"Didn't ycur husband give yon that Just
before or when Murphy canio into the
house?"
"No, sir."
"Didn't your husband say so in the pres
ence of Warden Berlin?"
"My husband said nothing of tho kind."
"Didn't he tell that to Warden Berlin in
your pieseneoand hearing near the library
in the jail the week following the shoot
ing?" "No, sir."
"Did yon and your husband havo a conver
sation in the jail thoVeokafter the trouble?"
"Yes, sir; near tho library. My husband
asked mo to get the draft for him and I told
him I had it in my mouth. He asked Warden
Benin if he would a'low me to go back into
the cell and get it. I was allowed to go. I
then went back to the cell and brought the
draft back to my husband."

HOORHEAD & M'CLEANE'S GOOD REPORT
Two peculiar strikes were reported yes
terday. The first and largest is at the
Homestead Steel "Works. Edward Will
iams, the third victim of the converting
mill disaster, died at 5 o'clock yesterday
morning. It seems that when the metal
wheelers in the Bessemer department
learned of his death they wanted to quit
work until after the funeral. Their super
intendent objected on the grounds that it
would cause a great Toss to the firm. The
men, however, insisted upon the'same priv
ilege that had been accorded the other em
ployes in the departments when the other
two men died, and quit They were imme
diately discharged.
This action on tho part of the firm raised
the indignation of the other men in the
Bessemer department, and they walked out
of the mill, leaving the cupolas full of
molten iron. This was an unnatural and
unexpected move on the part of the men, as
there was danger of the metal chilling.
NEW WOniT. FOB THE BOSSES.
Superintendent J. A. Potter hustled
around and mustered his assistants and
bosses together, and attempted to operate
the plant. They succeeded,after many heroic
attempts to run out the metal that the strik
ers left in tho cupolas, completing the job at
4:30 yesterday afternoon. The managersand
bosses looked as though they would not care
about being compelled to work much over
time when they completed the turn..
The I o'clock turn did not report for duty,
and as Mr. Potter refused nt first to see the
mill commit teo, it looked for a time ns
though the strike would prove a dangerous
one. However, nt 5 o'clock he called the
committee to his office, where, nfter a con-'
ferenco lasting for a couple of hours, the
matter was sottled so far as taking back the
discharged men. Tho mill started up at
midnight, but 75 per cent of the men will bo
allowed to attend the funeral of their do
ceased fellow-workmen, which will take
place Thursdav morning at 9 o'clock. The
remains of Williams will be bnried at St.
Marv's Cemeterv at Homestead. There will
be a high mass of requiem.
The other difficulty referred to is at tho
Pittsburg steel works of Andcrson.Du Puy &
Co., Charticrs. Yesterday morning the firm
had the following advertisement inserted in
The DisrATcH:
WANTED Full crew for a six-ton hammer.
Inquire at mill office of Anderson, DuPuyA
Co., Chartlei s station.
Yesterday afternoon workmon from their
mill ordered the following to be inserted in
to-day's paper:
T7"ANTED Men to kno that there Is a strike
VV now going on at Anuereon, DaPnyACo.'s
mill at Chartlers among the nammermen. G. II.
Lewis, fortlie committee. Box 40, McKee' s Bocks.
LITTLE KNOWIT OF THE TBOOBLE.
Inquiries were made as to the nature of tho
strike, but no Information could be obtained
from labor officials. President Wcihe, of
the Amalgamated Association, said there
was no Amalgamated lodge nt Charticrs and
he knew nothing of the trouble. Master
Workman Dempsey said the men employed
there were formerly organized in the K. of
L, but they had dropped out some years
since.
David Shaw, general superintendent, was
spoken i o. He said: "We have no difficulty
with our men that I know of. We are ad
vertising for a now crew of men simply be
cause wenoed them. We have no strike
whatever nnd I cannot understand the ac
tions of the men."
Workmen were found later in tho day
who stated that tho trouble was over a de
mand on the part of the Arm upon the men
to work late Saturday evenings, thus com
pelling them to put in several extra hours
each week, which the men decline to do.
Anderson, DuPuy & Co. operato one of the
laigestplantsofthakindinthe county. Tho
run live hammers with a capacity offrom3i0
pounds f seven tons each. Should tho
strike prove genuine it will effect a largo
number of workmen. The men admit they
are unorganized, but make the claim that
unjust demands have been made upon them
and union men should stay away.
This latter Information as to the nature of
tho difficulty was obtained too late to get the
Arm's statement iu connection with it.
AGAIHST COHVICT LAB0E.
Tlio Granite Cutters Preparing for Their
Annual Convention.
President Smyth, of tho National Associa
tion of Marblo Cutters, has issued another
circular of instructions to tho local unions
relativo to the national convention, which
meets in Chicago on October. Mr. Smyth
uses the following rather radical language
in reference to prison and imported labor,
which he urges legislation against at tho
coming session:
"Bv request of our executive officers the
officers ot the employers' associations aro
invited to send conference committees, and
communications will receive prompt con
sideration and action from all employers
who arc willing, with ns, to put their shoul
der to tho wheel to donn convict and im
ported labor. Many of our honest em
ployers have already given us encourage
ment, and claim that only through our
young union can our trade be properly pro
tected. AV'Hh the assistance of our employ
ers our law makers may be brought to a
sense of their duty in giving us some pro
tection as American citizens against un
scrupulous employers and tho cheap compe
tition of cut-throats, murderers and thieves
at homo and the paupers' of other coun
tries." All new tinions wishing to send delegates
have been instructed to apply for charters
not later than September 30.
AN EXCELLENT OUTLOOK
Reported in the Affairs of tho Moorhead
?.IcCleano Company.
Yesterday afternoon there was a meeting
of the prominent creditors of the Moorheud
McCleane Company at the works on Second
avenue, for the purpose of examining tho
statement recently rendered. William Bose
burg, of the Bank of Pittsburg, made n thor
ough examination of the securities reported
by tho Arm in itslist of assets, and his report
was an excellent showing for tho company.
The plant was also appraised by a committee
appointed by the creditors, of which James
Bauey was President, and their estimates,
while private, were said to be fuvoiabie.
d "The firm or Moorheud & McClenue," said
one of the committee, "stands where Hurry
Oliver did a few years ago, when lie said to
his creditors: 'Theso are onr works, and we
are unable to meet our obligations Just now.
We are capable of meeting them if allowed
to do so. It our creditors think they can
run our works to a better advantage by al
lowing ns to turn them over, we aro willing.'
Tlio creditors granted the extension and Sir.
Oliver, as everybody knows, paid dollar for
dollar."
Tho blast furnace of Moorhead Jz Mc
Cleane. on Second nvenno, closed down
yesterday for want of ore and orders.
Tho Resumption of Glass Making.
A meeting of the fwindow glass manufac
turers was held yesterday afternoon to de
cide upon a time when tho factories should
resume, now that the scale is settled. Mr.
Loefllcr said that a resolution had been
passed allowing each Arm to start at its
pleasure after the 1st of October. Nothing
more would be given out for publication
Some of the firms have not complotcd their
repairs yet, and it is understood tho restric
tion was placed upon all for their benefit, in
order that none might lesunio earlier than
the rest.

IN FREEDOM'S HONOR.
Pittsburg Colored People Celebrate the An
niversary of the Emancipation
Speeches nnd Music at Schcnley Fork
An Effort to Monopolize the Stands.
The colored people of Pittsburg yester
day celebrated the anniversary of the Issu
ing of the emancipation proclamation. A
large crowd gathered at Schenley Park
where speeches, music and amusements of
varions kinds were provided for. The E. t
McGunnigle Band was on the platform, as
also were Messrs. II. Jones, . E. Jones. J.
T. Braxton, II. It Brown, H. A. Clay, John
Boy, D. T. Lewis, Eugene SIcGuiro, D. M.
Washington, K. W. Scott, W. T. Gale and C.
W. Green, of tho Entertainment Committee.
Mr. Scott was Chairman and introduced tho
speakers. Mayor Gourley, who was to have
been tho principal orator, had a disabled
throat and could not speak. He was present,
but took no active part.
The exercises began about 2:30 o'clock.
Key. G. W. Clinton offered prnyer. The
band then played "America'1 and Miss
Annlo Lee read the emancipation proclama
tion. It was expected that Hon. Dalzell
would be present, but owing to sickness he
could not nttend. The llrss address was
made ky J. P. Klching. Ho was followed by
William H. Stanton, C. A. Sullivan, Eev. I.
X. Boss, Kov. C. Ashury and J. M. F.
Foster. Each address was oT considerable
length and treated on tho emancipation and
praises of Abraham Lincoln.
Music from tho band filled in the intervals
between the speeches. In several parts of
the park impromptu ball games and other
nmnscments were gotten up and the Juve
nile part of the attendanco wns afforded all
tho entertainments desired.
The only circumstance to mar the com
pleteness of the affair was some trouble over
refreshment stands. There is a standing
rule nt the park that no one shall be charged
for any privilege of conducting stands. Dar
ing the day a number of enterprising people
thought to take advantage o" the crowds
and opened stands. They Were soon waited
upon by a committee, who represented that
they had charge of tho park for the day.and
were charging from $10 to $50 a dny for stand
privileges, according to the location. It is
said that some of the standkeepers paid the
price, but Chief BIgelow was informed of
what was going on and soon put a stop to
the business, notifying the park police to
arrest anyone attempting to collect any
thing from stands.

To make the effect Ptill more exquisite
just enough contrast is given by placing at
the base several of the handsome "stand

and foliage; great palms and magnolias
color tones, all blending into the predomi

Sad Experience of the Princeton
Geological Expedition.
WERE STRANDED IN MONTANA,
But Managed to Collect a Numter of Val
uable Specimens.
HAD TO COUNT UP ALL THEIR PENXIES
Robert A. Stevenson, of Lewistown, a
member of the Princeton Geological Expe
dition, stopped over in Pittsburg a few
hours yesterday, and told a tale of woe that
was harrowing. His companions were "W.
B. Scott, Professor of Geology at Princeton;
Prof. Magee, who occupies the ehair of
physics at the same place, and Messrs. Cyrus
Jefferson, St. Paul; Imlay Benet, Arthttr
AV. Butlerand Frederic Horsford,New York,
and Richard Coulter, Greensburg; members
of the senior class at Princeton. They
had been roughing it in the
Rocky Mountains. They had gone
beyond their distance rather than be
yond their depths, and consequently almost
ran out of finances and nearly out of
clothes. In fact, Mr. Stevenson says that
when they asked about trains at Living
ston, Mont., the agent asked "Freight or
passengers?"
HAD TO WYE ON SHORT BATIOXS.
"Accordingly," said Mr. Stevenson, "we
refrained from extravagances of all kinds
and have been subsisting on 'sinkers' and
coffee during the entire trip. A sinker, you
know, is a sandwich of generous propor
tions that prevails throughout the North
w est. We are all here though, and have
brought with us some eight or nine skele
tons, not scalps, from the Bocky Monntains?
We have had a perfectly satisfactory trip.
ProL Scott is very much pleased with, the
fossils that we obtained. M ehave extended
the collection quite largely.
"We did not do any excavating and fonnd
the exposures in the Smith Biver Valley not
far from White Sulphur Springs, Mont.
"We spent several very interesting and ex
citing weeks there in our search for the
honored remains of past and gono animals.
Sometimes the find would amount to little
or nothing, nnd then again it would pan out
something quite valuable. The delightfhl
uncertainty ot the field made the search all
the more interesting, and a good supply of
enthusiasm was kept on hand at all times
with which to greet the resurrection of
some noted specimen.
"The fossil search was not the only inter
esting feature of our stay at that point.
Every thing was new and of moment to us
fellows. We had outfitted nt Great Pulls,
which by the way is the comingtown of that
country, and with our tents, teams, drivers
and cook were quite prepared to enjoy
Western life and a remarkable degree 6f
comfort at the same time. We were, but a
short distance from White Snlphur Springs.
DID NOT KNOW HIS OWN NAME.
"We were also near the famous half-way
house between the 'Snratoga' an d Fort Logan,
whose owner has lived his life thus far, and
is liable to the remainder, in a sad state of
doubt as to whether he is Joslah or Josha
phat De Laney. He says that in his very
early youth ho and a likewise youthful
brother started across the plains with rela
tives, their own parents being dead. Being
twins and resembling each other closely,
their identity was not very clearly estab
lished, and when on the way the relatives
and one of the boys died it was fonnd im
possible to determine which one left the
earth nnd which one remained on it, hence
the old man has never known whether he is
Josiah or Joshaphat.
"We had a glorious time in the National
Park. We did not go there in the interest
of science but fortunately met the Interna
tional Geological Congress with the mombors
of which we chummed to mutual advantage
for several days. We were also fortunato in
seeing some of the more reserved geysers
spout, 'Giant' for Instance and 'Old Faith
ful." which only erupt once a month.
"We did not see a lynching bee but have
the photo of one and whenever we get sort
of down in tho mouth wo take the card out
andgnze upon the poor victim with his dis
located neck and then know things aro
not as bad as they might be."
