OKLT DEMOCRATS UPON IT.
Chairman Brennen In Defense of the
Ticket of His Tarty.
County Chairman Brennen, of the Demo
cratic Committee, said last night that every
club and every connty in the State would
be represented at the convention of clubs
which opens in this city on "Wednesday.
'I wish distinctly to say," he added, "as
County Chairman, that the statements hay
ing reference to a Democratic ticket, print
ed in an niternoon paper, are false, and the
assertion that the names of Bradley and
Burleigh will appear on the Democratic
ticket is maliciously untrue. Demo
crat" will not vote for Republicans
other than those appointed by Gov
ernor Fattison and approved of at the last
convention. There will be morcDcmocratic
candidates on the count- ticket this year
than ever before."
Forming Gregg and Morrison Clnbs.
A larccly attended meeting of old soldiers
was held in Allegheny Common Council
chamber last night, to further the organiza
tion of Gregg and Morrison clubs in Alle
gheny. Captain .T. T. Barbour presided and
Captain "V. II. Griflith acted as secretary.
Tpon motion it was ordered that 1,200 cir
culars be printed to be sent to every old
soldier in Allegheny for a mass meeting to
be held next week. The date of the meet
ing is to be fixed by the chairman. Reports
were received showiug that there had been
organized two clubs in the Sixth ward, one
in the Fifth i ard and one in the Second ward.
The Sons of Veterans will also be organized.
Seventeen hundred veterans in Allegheny
City are counted on as for the Gregg and
Morritou ticket.
Protests Against the Action at Scranton.
The Oakmout Republican Club protests
against the action of the Scranton Conven
tion in excluding it from representation. It
claims not to be of fungus growth, but a
tubstnntial institution. In its resolution it
indorses Gregg and Morrison and the plat
iorm. but is not choice in its language about
the action taken a' Scranton. The Verona
club, in the haste of making up the rolls at
Scranton. was mistaken for the. ferona club,
of Philadelphia, which was a Robinson or
ganization. Verona, a "mushroom" organ
ization, went down instead of Ferona, and
when the roll was called Dalzll received
the vote, while theQuakerCity boys viewed
the proceedings from the gallery.
Dalzell Sticks to the Ticket.
Hon. John "V. Dalzell has returned from
the battle field at Scranton with a broad
smile that indicates that his heart is not
broken. He says,as be did in Philadelphia,
to a Dispatch representative, that he is
for tlie Republican ticket, and that he will
work and talk for it until election day.
Magee and his friend , he says, arc also en
thusiastic snpnorters of the nominations of
the Ecpnblican party, and that thcie will
be no difficulty about the election.
SENT BACK TO HAERISBTTEG.
A Tonng Man Tonnd at the Union Depot
in Wandering Mind.
"W. H. Riley, a youus man of 30, re
ported to be well connected in Harrisburg,
was sent to that place last night on the fast
line. Tlie depot officials say that he had
been around there for the last two days, but
that as he did not develop any eccentricity
lie was not molested. Yesterday afternoon
the ofiicci observed him acting strangely.
AVlien spoken to be said that the women
were hunting him and that he could see men
walking in the moon, lie rambled on in
this way for some time, and the officers see
ing be was not quite in his right
wind interested themselves in 'him,
succeeding in obtaining from him his ad
dress. His friends in Harrisburg were wired
to, and a reply was received to send him
home on the next train. His ticket was
paid for at that end.
All the money Riley bad was 10 cents,
and he begged an operator to get
liim some bromine The operator
went to Holland's drug store, but
on explaining the ease the druggist
refused to give him tlie dm, as it might
make him worc. The opinion of the officials
, was that Riley had boon using some drug to
excess. He was evidently well educated,
and belonged to cood society. It was said
he was cashier in a Harrisburg bank. He
was gicn a meal in the restaurant, provid
ed with a lunch and placed on the train in
charge of the crew. The instruction in the
message from his friends was to send him
back with some person to take care of him.

Odds and Ends of Jftws Gathered in the Ohio's
Headwaters' Cities.
A joint meeting of the residents of the
"West End, Sheridan, Ingrain, Crafton,
Idlewild, Mansfield and Chartiers borough
was held last night in Lawson's Hall, Craf
ton, for the purpose of orzanizing an elec
tric street railway from North Mansfield to
the city. The time of meeting was placed
at 7:30 o'clock, .but it was 8:15 before it was
called to order. About 125 people were
present.
Florence C Biggcrt suggested the name
of Percy E. Smith tor permanent chairman.
Upon taking the chair he called for the
election of a Secretary, and W. A. Zahn, of
Crafton, was elected. Mr. Smith then an
nounced the purpose of the meeting, and
asked for an expression of opinion from
the different points represented.
Several speeches were made and a report
was brought in that Burns & Heilly would
extend their line, but that they would first
liave to complete the line to the "West End,
and then to Chartiers.
TOO MUCH YAItlETY OF OPINION.
There seemed to be a great diversity of
opinion as to the route of the proposed line.
The gentlemen from Mansfield wanted an
air line from that point io the city, which
would cut off Ingram and Sheridan, while
those from that section wanted the line to
go through their towns or they would have
nothing to do with it. The route proposed
by the Mansfield delegation would be at
least one mile shorter than via Ingram and
Sheridan.
Mr. Patterson then offered the following
resolution: "That we, the undersigned,
agree to subscribe for shares, at a par
value of 550 per share, for the purpose of
constructIngan electric railway line from
Pittsburg to Mansfield, via theWest End,
Sheridan, Ingram, Crafton, Idlewild, If orth
Mansfield and Mansfield."
A DIRECT LINE ADVOCATED.
The qnestion was discussed at some
length. Attorney Cooke, of Mansfield,
thought they ought to have a direct line,
and then told how two vears ago he had
accompanied a gentleman from Philadel
phia who represented financial men of that
city on a trip over the very same section of
country, for a similar purpose, but they
were compelled to give up the idea,
as there were too many politicians
to see and straighten out. The burden of
his remarks was to the effect that it was
hardly feasible to build the line at present,
but he thought a main line could be built,
with feeders to the towns off the line.
The resolution was finally carried. The
list was then opened for subscriptions, but
the members seemed a little slow about
signing, many leaving the hall. Tho fol
lowing is a list of the subscribers:

PREPARATIONS FOR THE FCTUKE.
A committee of three from each district
was appointed to take subscription papers
and report at the meeting next week. Tlie
meeting then adjourned, to convene at the
schoolhouse in Ingram next Saturday night
After the meeting one gentleman re
marked: "How the enthusiasm has died
out since last week! The reason is that
Burns and Iteillv are going to build out the
Steubenville pike, which will pass Crafton
aud leave Sheriden and Ingram out in the
cold. It is a much longer way around by
Sheriden, and if the other road is built it
will save the residents the trouble. The mem
bers from Sherincn were very enthusiastic
and seemed verv anxious to arrive at some
definite conclusion, while the others did not
seem to care much, the bulk of the sub
scription being taken by residents of Sheri
den." Action on having the line surveyed was
postponed until next Saturday, so the Com
mittee on Suliscription could report, and if
sufficient lunds are guaranteed, work will
be commenced at once.

Miners' Officials Try to Show the
Justice of Their Demands.
OPERATORS CLING TO THE SCALE.
J. Morton Hall Proves That the Agreement
Was for a TearJ
MISS O'REILLY FINISHING HER WORK
The interest in the demands to be made
by local miners is gradually increasing.
The matter was the chief topic in industrial
circles yesterday, and the operators lost no
time in endeavoring to establish more
firmly their position that any demands at
this season of the year must be resented at
all hazards.
J. Morton Hall and Alex. Dempster were
found on Wood street yesterday by a Dis-'
PATCH reporter, discussing the matter.
They seemed somewhat surprised at the
statement of President Eae, of the miners,
that no inter-State agreement had been en
tered into last spring. "Of course."
said Mr. Hall, '"no inter-State
agreement was made because the
inter-State' conference was dissolved. But
our agreement was made in the usual man
ner with our own men, and that being tho
case, we consider it more binding than if it
had betfn made by the inter-State confer
ence, and as Mr. Rae says he is here to see
that justica and fair play are dealt out, he
ought to see that the men live up to the
agreement they made.
THHEfe CONFERENCES WERE HELD.
"The matter was thoroughly understood,
because we had three separate conferences,
and when the agreement was reached the
inter-State officers were present and wit
nessed the agreement. The men never
wanted an advance on through business ; it
was ou local business that they wanted the
increase. They were thoroughly satisfied
with the settlement and never intimated
that it would only be accepted as a tempo
rary arrangement."
In support of this last statement Mr.
Hall 'went fo his office and quoted from the
stenographic report of the meeting of the
Arbitration Committee held June 22, as fol
lows: Mr. McLaughlin When the yearly scale
was settled (referring to the agreement of
May 2) the convention appointed its Arbi
tration Committee. That committee was
also confirmed by the other convention.
My understanding of the matter was
that a settlement was made for the
year at 70 cents on Northwestern
and all through business, and an arbitration
committee was to be appointed by the
miners nd operators to take up the local
question, and when an advance could be
obtained over what was paid on lake or
through coal, such advance was to be di
vided between the miners and operators.
"The Miners' Committee then present as
sented." There were present at this conference
Hugh McLauehlin, James Boyd, M. Mc-
Quaul, Pat Hallern and Edward Hardy for
the miners, and Alex. Dempster, F. L.
Bobbins, J. Morton Hall and two other
operators.
AS TO EQUALIZING 'WAGES.
Begarding the point made by President
Bne that the wages of railroad and river
miners in this district should be equal, Mr.
Hall said that while the railroad operators
have an advantage of 10 cents a ton on the
cost of mining, their transportation costs
them 33 cents, while the river operators
only pay 8 cents, making the total cost of
mining and transportation for railroad op
erators ?1 12 as against 97 cents for river
operators. Under this condition they could
not afford to add any more to the cost of
production and expect to compete with
other operators.
There is considerable speculation as to
what demands the miners will decide upon.
Tlie convention Tuesday will be one of the
largest ever held in thisdistrict. President
Bae telegraphed the members of the Gen
eral Executive Board last night to come
here Tuesday'to act immediately on the de
mands decided upon, and it is considered
settled that the advance will be asked for
on October 1.
President Bae and Vice President Penna
gave out some valuable statistics last
night in support of their position
relative to the prospective demands,
that were not intended to be made public
until after Teesday's convention. Their
right to make such a demand in the face of
the agreement of May 2, last, having been
questioned by the operators, the repre
sentatives of the miners felt bound, in order
to set themselves right in the eyes of the
public, to show the hand they are banking
on.
"In the first place," said Mr. Bae, "that
agreement, although it was not signed.givcs
us the right to enter a claim for an advance
under certain conditions. Here are the
conditions that will let us in. Under the
present arrangement the Pittsburg miners
are paid 79 cents a ton. Thev really mine
3,300 pounds instead of 2,000, the difterence
being a dead loss to them through the
screening. Of 'the 3,300 pounds CG per
cent Is sold for 8 cents a bushel, 33 per cent
is nnt coal and slack, 70 per cent of
which is sold at 0 cents and 30 per cent at 4.
In other words, the entire output of the
mine is sold on an average of about C cents
a bushel, while the men receive but 3."
MR. PESNA'S SIMILAIt OPINION.
Vice President Penna confirmed the
statements of President Bae, and added: "I
am informed that the operators are getting
2 cents a bushel more For their coal than
they were previously, when the rate for
mining was 79 cents, and if that is
not reason enough for asking for
an advance we will never have one. I can
see by the interest the operators are taking
in this matter, by trying to establish the
tact that our agreement had been entered
into for a year, that they are more than a
little uneasy over the present move. I have
no lear as to the result. Our men will get
the advance and thoy deserve it."
Mr. McQuaid, a member of the Miners'
Arbitration Committee, said last night that
an attempt had been made to get their case
before the Arbitration Committee, but the
operators had refused to meet them or found
some excuse for not having a meeting called.
In smiport of this statement, Vice Presi
dent Penna said he had understood that two
unsuccessful attempts had been made to
get the Arbitration Committee to meet
This information was received too late to
secure a statement from the operators re
garding it.
, A SEDUCED SIOCE ON HAND,
But Manufacturers Will Not Bo Frightened
Into Immediate Resumption.
As it is not expected that the window glass
honses will resume operations before Octo
ber 15, much interest is centered in the con
dition of the market. The questions asked
are: How much glass is there on hands,
and how long will it last providing the
factories would not start up at all? A careful
inquiry was made of a well-known manu
facturer on this subject He said as near as
he could estimate the stock on hand, it
amounted to about 300,000 boxes, with prob
ably unfilled orders in the hands of manu
facturers amounting to between 50,000 and
Ci.OOO boxes. While this does not equal
the stock of last year at this time, it is very
much larger than it would have been had
there been no interruption in the building
trades this year.
But as the stock nt the 1st of last Septem
ber looted up nearly 470,000 boxes, and the
manufacturers started up nearly a month
earlier than they will this- season, the out
look for a good business the coming year Is
exceptionally bright. There is no encour
agement that the factories will resume be
fore the time already indicated. When the
m"i"Tt'aet'irfr l'-t met a motion va i 1
ratff.jL
that all those desiring to do so should be al
lowed to start up October 5, which would"
be but a week hence. That motion was lost
and another passed allowing the manufac
turers to start ur at -their pleasure after Oc
tober 1, but the general impression was
thrown out" that none would start until 13
days later.

Will Only UoIIere Another Week.
Miss O'Beilly will finish her work among
the local factories about the last of this
week, when she will leave for Philadelphia.
"I have discovered some.places here." said
she, to a Dispatch reporter, "that will
require some pretty severe recommenda
tions. But I shall report them in the proper
wav. Before I leave, Mr. Baker and I will
make a joint report for the benefit of the
public here which will cover my work in
Pittsbnrg."
While Miss O'Beilly has been endeavor
ing to keep her movements a secret, it was
learned last night that she found a few fac
tories the owners of which will be rigidly
called to account. During the last week she
visited quite a number of the mercantile es
tablishments, among others Campbell &
Dick, Fleishman, Boggs &Bnhl and Joseph
Home & Co.'s stores. She also visited
Armstrong Bros. & Co.'s cork factory. In
most of these she found nothing deserving
of any particular condemnation.
She also paid the Southside a visit and
inspected the glass factories of Bipley &
Co., George A. Macbeth & Co., and Thomas
Evans & Co. There were no violations
found in either place, but in the Oliver Nut
and Bolt Works Miss O'Beilly says she
found women operating machines at thread
ing bolts which were regulated by loot
treadles. She says she regards the work as
injurious to their physical condition, but
those in charge claim the 200 women em
ployed there are very healthy.
The most difficult work at which Miss
O'Reilly has found women employed in
this city is in a barbed wire factory on the
Southside. Most of the women employed
there are Polish, and they are requited to
lift from 1,000 to 1,200 pounds a day at wages
ranging from 70 cents to $1 a day.
ONLY THBEE DATS LEFI.
The Job Printers Scalo Has About Expired,
and a Strike is Expected.
The executive committees of the- job
printers held a meeting last evening, with
Victor B. Williams, the national organizer,
of Chicago, present. The situation was
fully explained, and Mr. Williams, who is
here to see that none of the rules of the L
T. U. are violated and to render such assis
tance in securing the nine-hour rule as is
in his power. The latest indications are
that there will be a strike. The present scale
expires Wednesday evening. There has been
no effort on the part of anyone to secure a
conference, and there may not be until after
the strike is declared. The employing
printers have declared their intention to
refuse the demand, and are holding them
selves aloof in order to see if the printers
will make their bluffby striking.
The principal hitch is on the nine-hour
rule. As for the inability of the local em
ployers to grant the demand and compete
with other cities, the men argue that it can
be done, for the reason that $14 in the com
petitive cities mentioned is equal to 518
here, and living there is much cheaper.
THE KNIGHTS ON THE INCREASE.
No interference Will Be Offered to the
latest M. M. P. U. Move.
The Executive Board of D. A. 3, K. of
I., met lost night to audit the books of tho
officials. Master Workman Dempsey re.
ported to the board that the district is in
good shape. He has just returned from a
tour of the Monongahela valley. He found
a considerable increase in the membership
as compared with this time last year.
Mr. Dempsey was spoken to last night in
regard to the reported intention of the M.
M P. U. to capture the K. of L. orchestras
in the various local theaters. He said:
"There is nothing new in that fight that I
know of. It is news to me if any Buch a
move is on foot; but if it is true, I shall do
nothing to prevent it. I have tried to do
what is right bv the musicians and I do not
believe they will leave the K. of I in that
way.
Must Have Larger Trains.
The Baltimore and Ohio Mechanical de
partment has instituted a series of careful
tests for the purpose of rating the hauling
capacity of its various locomotives with the
object of making up its trains more nearly
in conformity to the hauling capacity of the
engines. The tendency on the part of con
ductors and brakemenhas been to take out
as small trains as possible for the reason
that they are more easily handled. It is
claimed that in some cases not more than oO
or GO per cent of the hauling capacity of the
engine is utilized. The effect of the tests
will be to make an average increase of about
25 per cent in the size of the trains. There
is some feeling among the men that if the
new move has a tendency to decrease the
number of men required to handle the com
pany's freight there will be objections raised
to it.
Built by a Pittsburg Firm.
The new Bessemer steel plant recently
erected by the Pittsburg Iron and Steel En
gineering Company, of this city, at Ash
land, Ky., has been completed. The plant
is jointly owned by the Norton Iron Works,
the Belfo'nt Iron Works and the Kelly Nail
and Iron Company, and word has just been
received here work will be commenced
shortly. About 400 men will be fjiven em
ployment. The three firms mentioned will
consume about two-thirds of the entirejout
put of the plant and the balance will be
sold in open market.
A Grcenshurfr Plant Leased.
The plant fit the Greensburg Steel Com
pany has been leased by a party of capital
ists who intend to put it in operation be
fore the end of the year. The plant is a
small one and has been idle for 18 months.
It was designed to manufacture crucible
steel for cutlery, tools, eta, tinder a
peculiar process invented by A. C. Isaacs,
formerly manager of a local printing com
pany, but the concern did not have the suc
cess that was looked for. After a short
time the plant was closed down and has
been idle ever since.

AMIB TAUGHAN'S SAD COMPLICATION
The action taken yesterday in the Divorce
Court goes far to confirm the statements

the past month or more there has been an
average of from six to eight divorce applica

Attorney Payne yesterday filed a petition
in behalf of Mrs. Annie M. Vaughan, ast
ing the court to reopen a decree made re
fusing her a divorce from John E. Vaughan.
Mrs. Vaughan had applied for a divorce,
alleging desertion, infidelity and conviction
of a felony. She states that acting under
advice she rested her case mainly on the
ground of desertion, as she was advised that
the act of 1854 making conviction of a
felony a ground for divorce, was meant to
apply to what is a felony under the laws of
Pennsylvania.
TTIE LAW BEINGS HER A EELEASE.
Since then she is advised that the act of
June 1, 1891, makes the conviction of "a
crime, within or without the State, which
is punishable by two or more years impris
onment and for which sentence for that
period is passed, a ground for divorce. In
consequence she asks that the decree refus
ing her a divorce because the conviction of
her husband of a felony in Canada was not
sufficiently proven be" opened so she cap
supplement her testimony by filing a certi
fied copy of the conviction of her husband,
in Canada for bigamy and his sentence to
seven years' imprisonment.

A Fourteen-Year-OId Mis Proves the
Troth of the Ancient Adage.
Kockviixe, Conn., Sept. 20. Special.
It is believed that Florence M. Cooley, of
Ellington village, 14 years old, handsome
and well developed, has eloped with Mill
ion Kibbe, 18 years old, a steady young
fellow, who had worked hard and faithfully
for his father. Little Miss Florence, who is
somewhat wild, was bound out to work for
Stephen Farnham about five years ago.
The couple fell in love with each other
some time ago. They disappeared from
Ellington early in the week, and
later Mr. Farnham's hired man saw
them together at night. Some time ago
Florence pried a board or two off the side
of the Farnharm house next to her room,
skipped out of the crevice she had made,
andiwent oflf on a lark. Then Farnham
stopped up the crevice with heavier slabs,
clamped them to the house with stout nails,
and believed that he had Miss Cooley
secure.
On the evening of the elopement Flor
ence went to her room early, managed to
knock the boards off again, slipped out of
the house and was cone. On the same night
yonng Kibbe quit home after Bupper and
took his best trousers along. Mr. Farnham
believes that tho youngsters have gone to
Providence," where Florence has friends,
and have been married.
Too Comfortable to Bo Moved.
Constable Langenbacher, of the Twenty
ninth ward, had a funny experience yester
day while arresting a Pole. Mary Ship
koskie, who lives on South Twelfth street,
made an information before Alderman Bcin
hauer charging Schert Hngenski with dis
orderly conduct. She alleged that Hagcnski
came to her house while drunk, laid down
on the floor and refused to get up. After
the information was made Constable
Langenbacher accompanied the women to,
her fiotioe and found Hergenski still on the
floor and lying in a little poolof beer. The
constable nudged Hergenski, but to no
effect. He turned him over two or three
times and found his clothes soaked with the
beer. 5Tot caring to parade such a person
as that along the street, the constable got
another Pole to awaken his prisoner and
tell him he was under arrest. Hergenski
then handed his pocketbook, containing ffi,
to the constable, and told him to pay the
fine. The constable took the money as,
a forfeit for Hergenski's appearance be-
fore the Alderman to-morrow.

Conference was livelier than the opening.
The exercises were opened in the church
corner Hemlock and Boyle streets, Alle

by Bev. D. 8. Bentley. Much of the morn
ing was taken up in the discussion on the

KLEBERS" FAMOTJS 3H3SICAI. DfSTRU
MKNTS, At H. Kleber & Bro.'s, S00 Wood St.
It is a well-known fact that Klebers'
music house has always been and is to-day
the home of the leading makes of pianos
and organs; for where can you find such
splendid instruments as the Steinway, the
Conover and the Opera pianos, or the newly
invented seven-octave piano-organs; organs
combining the advantages of both organ and
piano? or ths glorious Vocation church
organs? Klebers' is the place where the
buyer can save money. He can feel sure of
getting only the very first quality of pianos
and organs." The prices asked for them are
exceedingly low. Don't be persuaded to
go to some other dealer and pay a first-class
price for a second-class instrument. Every
instrument in Klebers' store is fully war
ranted for eight vears, and the reputation
of the house for fair dealing is known all
over this country. COS Wood street is
where the Klebers hold forth, and they can
readily sell their goods without dubbing
their warerootus Temple of Music or Palace
of Music.
