Thellfth resolution, as adopted as above.
is not the one offered by the committee, but
is a si.bsttfuto offered by lir. Kobmson.
The original icsolutionon this subject rec
ommendeJ that Mr. Binsman continue in
Ins present chanre, and that judgment be
suspended as to the dissolution of his con
nection with the congregation until it should
be demonstrated whether of not, bv
diligent vtud or the Scriptures and
confession, he could not succeed in recon
ciling lus interpretations and lews with
those taught bj the 1'resbj tcrian doctrines.
Tins resolution caused greater discussion
than anv other, and considerable feeling was
aroued
Sir Kennedy, one of the committee, of
fered .isuotitute providing that Mr. Baus
inin s pastorate be dissolved at
once u McComiick opposed this,
nnd made a trong and earnest
plci that Mi Biusman should be allowed to
retain hisehargo, sajing that toremove him
now would be to push luni lurtlicr along on
the way he was tending, and this action
n ould also ha e a demoralizing effect on his
church
"Bv giving him another chance, the pastor
might be sated to thccliurcliund the church
sa ed to the pastor," saidJic.

Mi Turner I am opposed to anv such
step That would be a cowardly action on
the pait of this meeting.
Mr. McCallip 1 want to sav that the gen

him to call mca coward.
Mr Turner tiled to explain that lie did
not icfer to Mi McCallip individually,, but
Mr. McCallip would not hear to It, ud in
sisted that the gentleman should be declared
out of order
s.o much discussion was excited by these
resolutions th it J)r. llobinson offered the

this was accepted as a compromise bj the

BITTER ON BOSSES,
Old-Time Democrats Decide to Place
a Fall County -Ticket in the
Field Immediately.
COLONEL MOORE ROASTS BRENNEN.
In Mass Meeting Assembled They Appoint a
Committee of 21 to Male
the dominations.
PROHIBITIONISTS OPEX THEIH WAR.
Delegates After a Pay of Sight-Seeing Arc lth to
Leave the Gas City.
Tlie straightout Democrats of Allegheny
county will have a full ctclnsii cly Demo
cratic ticket in the held this tall. This state
of affairs was lirougli about bv about 300 old
time Democrat, and a bonndlcss amount
of enthusiasm at Lafayette Hall last night.
Mixed in with the audience nnd the
enthusiasm was a long-drawn fight, lasting
oiertwo hours, which ended in the ap
pointment of a committee of 21 to nomi
nate a full ticket. These nominations are
to be submitted to another mass meeting to
he held next week. Then the fight will be
gin in earnest.
There was anything but harmony at the
start. liich one wanted to knife the pres
ent leaders, but all wanted to use different
methods, and it was only through the elo
quence of Colonel Moore that any action
was taken at all.
Attorney CL A. O'Brien railed the meet
ing to order and presented the following
list of officers, which was accepted: Chair
man, Dr. George II. Kcyser, and Vice Pres
idents, "V. II. Iteed, Joseph K. Hunter,
Bobrt Tattersou, Arch. H. Bow land,
Sr., Alfred Kerr, T. J. Keenan, Sr.,
John Becker, Captain John McDonnell,
George C Hess, "William "Walls, Martin
Haller, Dr. A. M. Barton, A. J. Kuhn, Dr.
John Purman, 1 M. Carr, C. A. O'Brien,
Gilbert F Mayer, Joseph Hays, John M.
Itourke, Bobert Fitzsimmons, Robert Hol
land, Robert 'Malone and Charles P. Wall.
A DFMAMI rOIi A XEW TICKET.
Thomas Keenan, Sr., introduced the
Chairman and said: "We have met here to
show that we will not submit without a pro
test to the fact that we have no Democrats
to nte for at the coming election. We
must either put out a new ticket or vote for
the State ticket and such of the county
Democrats as can be found."
Chairman Keyser, in taking the chair, re
marked: "There are now really three par
ties. This is the situation: It is ring Re
publicans and ring Democrats against the
peoplj of Allegheny county. In such a
fight jou know what must be the result."
The Vice Presidents then tookeatson
the platform, and the names of Johnllucke-
stein and John It. Large were added to the
list. Then came cries for Moore, nnd the
Colonel, rearranging the red flower in his
buttonhole, unburdened himself
"For moro than 40 years I have been a
sincere and ardent Democrat a Democrat
whobelieies th it only under the principles
of his party can n pure and real Government
exist. Such principles cannot exist if jou
beliei e that C. L. Magec is ruler of l'ennsyl
vanii and Cataline Quay supreme
monarch of the United States. They
both should bo in the penitentiary
with their coadjutor ISardsley. Will
you sec you and I bound and gagged like
serfs and handed over to that in
famous gang by tint puddling pup
named ISrennen Is it possible that we will
stand by and see thorn steal lrom the .State
and the county and then hear tnem brag
about it without onr entering a protest!
K en the State Treasurer Is now in hiding.
Yet there is one man at Ilarrisburg who
knows his duty and has the courage to do it.
BARGAINED rOR AXD SOLD.
"There are no Democrats for you to vote
for because your upstart leaders hai e bar
gained and sold you and I as slaves to the
ring. Are we to obfey C. L. Magee's man
dates through Brcnncn? Chris -Ma gee

"Wh it w ill Kennedy say to that!" cried a
i oicc from the audience.
Moore I don't care. Xo man can make
me take back: w hat I hat c said. Are.no to
submit t( the dictation of the ring! Are we
slae '
o, sir:" ciicd a hundred yoiees.and then
the Colonel continued:
"The question is, what are we to do1 Is it
w ise toiomlnate a ticket! I bcliex e it is. I
lielic e that ir to-night w e nominate a ticket
r straightout Democrats, not allies of
Chi is Magee's ring, it will win. We can
put up -uch men as Patterson, Leasure
and Alcorn for Judges, nnd such a man as
O'lirien or Iteardou for District Attorney.
Mill, I don't know but that it would be we'll
to let the rascals light it Out themselves.
I certainly will not lote loi the straightout
lleptihlican ticket or the miglnal lottcn Re
publican ticket. I believe the second edi
tion is worse than the first. Some 12 years
ago we wero seduced by tlie same gang,
and will we allow them to do it again!
Out pirty is still strong." It enabled us to
electa l'i-esidentarter25 years of bondage,
and we will elect him ngtiin. It has given
us two judges on the Supreme ilcnch, and it
will giveusajudiciary here and a district
attorney who will see that the tuieves are
punished in Pittsburg as they are in Phila
delphia. UliBE CALLED TOR THE LEADERS.
The hou-e shook with applause vihen
Colonel Moore stopped spctking and John
It Lirgc took his place. He referred sar
castically to "Billy What-do-voncall him
and tho gang." Then ho asked, "Who aro
our leaders!"
Voices from the ciowd called out "flren-
nen, Lirkin, Tim O'Leary," but the speaker
only replied. '
I mean leaders. '
Continuing, he said: "Bardsley Is in a
good place to be purified, and I believe a
dose ot the same whitewash. Would do Mageo
and Quay a good bit of good. Why, the men
w hoiiav e sold us w ere suckling babes w hen
we were fighting the battles ot the Democ
racy . We have only one regularDeinocratic
candidate to t oto for, and that is lor Jury
Commissioner.'
The speaker then wandered off into tho
field of oratory nnd for the space of 30 min
utes he pulled tail leathers oat of the eagle
and then fell into a silent rev crie and a con
venient chair.
Chailes A. O'Brien then spoke as follows:
"Had tlie Deiuoc racy been a pirty of ex
pediency instead ot one of principle we
would not have a Governor nnd n Demo
cratic Congress. A non-partisan judiciary
is impossilile. The confidence or the Gov -ernor
lias been gro-sly abused when he was
made believe the men he appointed were,
lion partisan You know who named W. D.
Porter. And a dozen voices named 'Chris
Mngee.'l Who would have believed that
with the Republican pirty divided the
Democrats would not have nominated a
ticket, especially when tho vilifler and
tradueerof Johu ll.lkviievwas in the field
foi District Attorney, urd was given the
position lie now holds by the vote of Judge
Kennedy.
"Whence came this Idea that there is no
nse to nominate because there is no certainty
of winning. Did it come with yenrs, and is
this the y ear it reached Pittsbnrg!"
William Walls talked nevt and pulled so
many tail feathers from the eagle with his
oratory thnt a feather brush had to be
brought in to save the lioble bird, from be
coming bald.

A PROHIBITION RALLY.
Ex-Governor St. John Addresses an Audi
ence at Silver Lake Grove Some of the
Arguments Ho Advances What He
Proposes to Do.
About COO neople assembled at the open
ing of the Prohibition campaign in the
twin cities last evening at Silver Lake
Grove by ex-Governor John P. St. John, of
Kansas. The meeting was opened with
prayer by Ilev. George AV. Chalfant, of the
Park Avenue Presbyterian Church, after
which George H. Garbcr was nominated for
Chairman and the following gentlemen for
Vice Presidents: Tliaddeus Steutrel, L. T.
Yoder, John It. Bush, ltev. Mr. Stevens, L.
L. Laughlin, Kobcrt Lamont, Robert
Glass, George G. M'alters, F. O. VanGordcr,

Dunn, W. It. Zeiglcr, Alexander Allen, W.
G. Henderson, George Finloy, A. II. Wad
dell, L K. Haid and .Mr. Williamson, of Mc
Keesport. The gentlemen were all given seats on the
platrorm, after which the Chairman pre
sented the speaker of the evening, Hon.
John P. St. John, who said that the reason
why they could not reach the great mass of
the people wns due to ignorance and nre-
judice.nnd that thoyweie in league with
both tl.o Democratic and Republican
parties.
"I would venture to assert," said he, "that
is not one in a hundred of either party in
Allegheny county who ever seen prohibi
tion piper, therefore they cannot help being
ignorant on this great question. The preju
dice comes from those who are interested in
the business, and are hard to nght.bnt with
the help of God we will win. Just think or
it: There are 200,000 saloons in this country,
which, ir placed side by side, with an nv er
age width or SDTcet, would reach 8C0 miles,
over whoo counters are spent annually
over $1.230 000 000, to ay nothing of tho 150,
000 lives that are lost, the misery that it
brings, tho ciime and vice it creates, and
the souls that arc lost through this great
evil.
"Pennsylvani i has 13,000 saloons, in which
are spent $l?,c00,000 Can you tell me of one
single bles-iug derived from this legalized
robbery! Another question: How can any
man vote the Deinocrxtic or Republican
ticket and stand before God guiltless! They
say this is a 1 md or libci ty, or the people,
for the people, anU by the people. It is not
so W hy. a man cannot e en make lor him
self a little beer or set up a small tin still to
make a little bit of whisky for medicinal
purposes for his own use, but the Govern
ment pounces down on him for its share in
the way of a tax, and you call that liberty!
Why, in these days a man can't kick-even
his ow n dog but tho Humane Society gets
after him. You can't shoot birds at certain
seasons of the y car, and the buzzard not
at all.
"What wo want is somothing to protect
our boys from this grow ing ev 11. If it comes
to that, winch would you rather save the
dog, the buzzard or the boy! Why, the boy,
of course. We want a government to pro
tect the boys, not dogs, or buzzards, or tin
plate, or wool, if it boon tho Indoor not."

The air of Pittsburg is still laden with
Democracy. But few of the Democrats

Extraordinary Low DeathUatein Pittsburg

SNAP SHOTS AT CITT DAPPEMXGS.
The opening of Pittsburg's new postoffice
has already Had a marked effect on the con
dition of affairs in this vicinily. The great
streams of humanity that day after day
surged about the old, black building at
Fifth nnd Smithfield have turned their steps
toward the new attraction. The southern
portion of Smithfield street was crowded
with people hurrving to and from the post-
office. Business in that part of town was
on the boom. Several gentlemen who fre
quent the street most of the day said they
saw thousands of strange faces. Lively
Fifth avenue has lost considerable of its
patronage, and from this time on will have
a very popular rival. But the change can
only result in good all around, dividing the
crush that has heretofore made one or two
central streets uncomfortable for pedestrians.
Hundreds of people yesterday absent
mindedly walked up to the old postoffice to
deposit or receive mail. They were met
with sealed doors and the deririvc hoots of
a little army of street urchins, who derived
great sport out of their forgetful elders.
THE OLD BUILDING'S TUTURE.
Everybody is speculating on the disposal
of the old structure. The Government will
have no more use for the place after the
new building is entirely completed. As a
business location it has scarcely an equal In
the city, and already a dozen or moro
w cnlthy firms and individuals have bid for
it. One man is niter it for a site foi a the
ater. Several parties desire to secure the
location for the erection ofa big hotel. Others
are anxious to convert it into an ofllco build
ing. One of the largest merchant firms in
the city w ould like to open a mammoth store
there. Still others want the place for
various purposes and its final disposal will
he hotly contested. Amounts varying from
$00,000 to $800,000 have been offered.
According to Assistant Custodian Colvillo
the Government will have to retain posses
sion of the building for over a year at least.
A special act of Congress will be necessary-,
anthorizlnir tlie sale, and iiDnraisers will
have to be appointed to fix a value below
muuiutcuiiiiuL uv num. uulu uiiiv j, io.,
the building will bo fully occupied. Tho
new building will not be finished before that
date and until then all the Federal ofllces,
except the postofnee, will be qnartcrsd in
the old one. They will all be moved at the
same time.
The Fifth avenue side or the old postofnee
will be used by United States Revenue Col
lector Warmcastle. Surveyor of Customs
Dravo has moved into the old money order
department nnd postmaster's office. The
mailing room has been taken for appraisers'
stores, formerly located at the old recuiiting

r-The United Mine Workers Give the
Operators Another Surprise.
A LOCAL FIRM GRANTS 02 CENTS.
Secretary Hall Sajs He Will Ho'ld Out Until
Ivcxt Jfay.
K0X-USI0X ritiNTERS COMING HERE
The miners of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
are to be ordered out on a strike for eight
hours. This action has not been definitely
decided upon, but n member of the General
Executive Board intimated before leaving
Pittsburg on Wednesday evening that such
a proposition would enme before their meet
ing in Columbus, and that in all probability
the miners of the three States would be
ordered out before the end of the week.
The following telegram received from
Columbus last night explains the situation:
Tlie National Executive Bo-vrd of tho
United Mine Workers begnn their quarterly
session to-day. The members came hero
from tho convention of river miners in the
Pittsburg district. The boarel was in
executive! session all day, and had un
der consideration the eight-hour question.
The eight hour day was to have been in
forced May 1, but for various reasons wns
declared off for a time. It was stated then
that the craft had not receded from its posi
tion regarding tho advantages of the eight
hour day, but it had been postponed to bo
taken up at some later date. It is believed
that tho time deemed opportune for demand
ing an eight hour day in the mines through
out the country is very close, and that tlie
present conference will definitely settle the
date. This is strengthened by the fact that
the board will, before adjournment, have re
ports from every District President in the
country regarding the situation, as they
have all been summoned to appear here
Saturday- and meet the Board for instruction.
ON THE STILL HUNT I'LAN.
It was learned last night that the officials
of the United Mlno Workers have been
working on this matter continuously sinco
May 1, and while the operators and all
others concerned were resting easy on the
assumption thnt the miners would not be
heard fiom for at least a year, the officers in
every district where the organization is rep
resented were gathering statistics and in
formation regarding tho wages paid and the
condition of the coal trade. All tlie time
there -w ere reports of bickerings and inter
nal wrangling among the miners, nnd while
the operators were being thrown off their
guard bv rumors that the miners were as
suming a disorganized condition, they were
on the other hand drawing up thoir lines
nnd unifying their forces for a crisis thnt
seems to have arrived.
About three weeks ago, Mr. Rea was
quoted in nn interview in TheDispatcii that
the inlneis would not waiton the Federa
tion to dictnte to them again when they
should make a move for shorter hours. Ho
also said at that time that when the
miners would get ready to act tho
operators would not have such a long notice,
or be given so ranch time as they had last
spring in which to prepare to meet the de
mands. His pi ophecy has already como true
iniespectto the Pittsburg district, and the
indications are that other operators are to
be taken on short notice, just as the Pitts
burg men were.
W. A. Carney, First Vice President of the
Federation of Labor, said vestcrday that
Mr. Kae should not criticise tho methods of
the Federation, because the miners' repre
sentatives had requested that they be de
signated to make tho eight hour light on
May 1, 1S91.
HANKING ON THE GOOD OUTLOOK.
"The whole thing sums itself up to this,"
said anotherlabor official. "The miners feel
that thoy have a good chance to win. The
outlook is for a good fall , anel winter trade
In the coal business, and the operators can't
afford to lose it. They won't lose It, that's
all. The gas Is declining and people must
have coal. If the miners all strike the oper
ators will bo compelled to piy tho price. Or
course, the consumer will eventually pay it.
It won't mako any difference to the oper
ator." The local strike occurred yesterday as
predicted, and although all tho men are not
out the district officers claim they vv ill bo
by to-day or to-morrow. President Costello
and Secretary McQuaid took up headquar
ters at GC Third avenue yesterday, and wore
busy all day receiving reports from the va
rious mines.
"Thoy want ns to furnish names, do they?"
said Mr. McQuaid, in answer to the state
ment made by the operators to the effect
that if the miners could cite instances
where there wero any grievances, the
operators would be brought before
the Arbitration Committee, and if Ills
books showed that tho miners were enti
tled to an advance they would be compelled
to piy it. "We don't want to see their
books. They don't prove anything. We
know what they get for coal, but that don't
prove any thing. If the operators sell their
coal for 4" cents and let the dealers sell it for
8, 9 and 10, that is none of our business.
There aro operators who are not paying the
price. Thev go into the market nnd cut
each other down to nothing and then take
it off the miners, and if they must hnvo
nninos we can furnish them. Alexander
Dempster, F. L. Bobbins and Cook A sons
head the list, nnd without mentioning any
more you can Just say that all the operators
on the Panhandle road are in tlie same class.
Now, these gentlemen can make whatever
explanation they desire, but wo have tho
figures."
WHAT THE OrERATOP.S SAT.
When Sir. Hall wns seen yesterday ho in
sisted that the operators wanted to be fair
in their treatment of the miners. They wnnt
to liv e up to the agreement of Miy 2 in ev ory
particular, and if tlie miners can prove any
of their claims the arbitration committee
will sec that Justice is done to all concerned.
"I nave been misrepresented." said tie, "in
one or tw o things. Tho operators aro not in
a bad predicament. We want to stand by
the present agreement, nnd will
stand by It, whether our mines
are operated or not. Wo cannot afford to
grant the advance asked for and we will not
do so. W would not oven give tho 5 cents
that has been mentioned because, we could
not do so without violating the agreement.
Some of the miners hive refused to go out
on strike considering that their honor is at
stake and they cannot strike. Why, Mr.
Rae admitted at onr conference Wednesday
that he considered the agreement ns bind
ing as if it had been signed and how ho can
countenance tho action now is more than I
can understand."
"If the miners of Ohio, Indiana and Illi
nois ask for eight bonis and get it, would
tho Pennsylvania operators then be placed
on a plane of equality with them, such as
woulel cnablo them to grant the demand for
02 cents?"
"No; because wo liavo nothing to do with
those States, we have cut away from the
inter State agreement entirely. I believe if
this thing is to continue much longer it will
have the effect or making eacli operator
settle w ith his men individually."
SOME MEN TO WORK TO-DAY.
Henry Floerslicim granted tho demands or
the miners yestciday, and his men will bo
nt w oik to-day. Mr. Floerslicim said yester
day that his contracts were made under tho
79 cent agreement, but he would stand the
loss on his present contracts In order to con
tinue business. There will be a meet
ing of operators to-duy. There is quite
n feeling among some of them and
the Indications nro that some of them will
wear warpaint to the meeting. Tho follow
ing was received from West Now ton last
night: "The miners qt the Yough district
w ill hold a mnss meeting on Saturday, at
Scott Haven, to act o.i the 13 tent ndvauco
nsked by the Pittsbuig district. Tho general
view-or all the mines is that the Pittsbnrg
advance will bo insisted upon. At tlie mines
at Drav o 200 men went out tills morning."
Waiting on an Absentee.
Captain Alfred T.Hunt, the Pennsylvania
member of the Council or Engineering Con
gress of the World' Fair, said yesterday
thatau effort would be nude to hav o tills
branch of science, which was now subordi
nate', formed into a separate department.
He said that nothing could bedonu until the
President, who was now in Europe, le
titincd. The Pittsburg Aluminum Reduc
tion Works, which wore occupying a new
site nt Kensington, on tlie Allegheny Valley
Rnilioad, would bo permanently established
there in about two weeks' time.
Settled on Last Year's Scale.
The difficulty which has existed between
the window glass workers and the manufac
turers of tho Eastern district of the Na
tional Window Ulas9 Workers' Association
sinco July 1, has been settled on tho basis of
last year's scale.
Tlie Federation Growing.
W. A. Carney and W. J. Dillon, represent
ing tho Amorican Federation of Labor, or
ganized a new local in Allegheny last night,
composed ormolders' helpers and core-malt-ers.
Thenew organization includesnearly all
or this class or men employed in Allegheny
county. It has over 100 members, and has
no connection with the Holders' Union.
A HARD FIGHT EXPECTED.
Job Printers Make a Strngjrlo for a Re
duction In Ilonrs Other Men Imported
to Take Their Places Fan Over a Menu
Card.
The job printers are taking a. rest. The
strike, which begnn yesterday, assumed a
serious aspect during the day. According
to programme, at 7 o'clock yesterday morn
ing the printers reported at their various
places of employment for duty. In most
cases a conversation something like this
took place between the gpokesmen of the
employes and tho head of the varions firms:
Spokesman Well, can we go up to work?
Employer Yes, yonr places nro still open
for you, If you want them.
Spokesman At nine hours?
Lmplovcr No: at tho old scale.
This settled it. In many instance tho
printers hart contemplated the result and
removed fiom their hopsi everything be
longing to them Wednesday evening. Na
tional Organizer Williams, who is In charge
of the strike, is confident of winolng. He
says the printers are in condition to stand a
long fight, w hllc the opposition is not.
The employers tnlk very differently. In
formation was given out Inst night thnt
about 203 printers and from six to eight
pressmen will be in the city this morning.
Thev will be distributed among the shops
Sroportionately where Jobs are most urgent,
ther men will be here in a day or two and
by the middle of next week ev erything will
be running along smoothly. The associa
tion advertised in Philadelphia and other
cities a few days ago and on Wednesday
evening avents started for the West to look
np men. Mr. Barnes, of Diamond street, ar
arranged some days ago for non-union men
and had enough to continue his business as
usual yesterday.
Mr. McMillan, of Wood street, nnd the
Pittsbnrg Printing Company wero the
lurgest establishments in lull operation.
A humorous incident occurred in connec
tion witli the strike at the Mnnongahela
House. Eichbnum & Co. furnish ir dnily
menn enrd for the hotel, bnt yesterday
morning notified the hotel management that
they could not get the card out. A repre
sentative of the hotel was about to hustle
around to one of the newspaper offices to
get the card setup," when he wa informed
thnt all the printers in thenewspaper ofllces
wero union men nnd would not do that class
of work while there was a strike on. In the
meantime Eichbnum &. Co. secured n few
printers, set up the menu, and took the form
to Percy Smith, where one pressman was
on duty. Type-written menus wero called
into service nt tho hotel until tho others
w ere furnished.
AQEEED UPON THE SCALE.
How the Sliding Agreement Has Worked at
Homestead.
The Homestead scnle was agreed npon
yesterday, and $Jj was decided upon as the
basis of the scale for tho next three months.
This is the same as it was for the quarter
Just closing, and is considerably lower
than it was during the early quarters
of the scale's existence. At the expiration
of the first six months, according to the
agreement or December 30, 1880, all tonnngo
men received nn adv unco of 1G per cent over
their former rate: and nt the expira
tion of the three months ending
Murch 31, lsW, another advance of 10
per cent was obtained, making a total
advance of 20 per cent over tho rates paid at
the$2G SOavvrage basis of the quotations
per ton or billets an specified In the agree
ment of .Inly 15, 18S9. Mnce then several re
ductions have occurred and still the men
are ahead. Tlie present agreement will ex

HEW TIN PLATE MACHIHEEY.
Improvements on Old Methods No
Im-
ported Men Needed.
Edwin II. Jones, of Sw lssvale, has patented
an Improvement on theMoorewood tinning
pot, which he claims will dispense with the
sen ice of one man. The pot is a combina
tion of n tinning pot and rust pot. The
plate is fed automatically into the flux and
then carried by guides under the rolls and
through the grewel. The capacity of this
combined pot, according to Mr. Jones, would
bo 40 boxes of either tinned or terne plate
eucn uay.
Mr. Jones, who is a Welshman, says there
is no necessity for importing men to mdko
tinned plate. There is nothing about the
