Chats Eemenibcrcd by Efporttrs and Ectailtd for
Heading on Minilay.
Sitting in a down-town cafe yesterday, at
lunch, was a Jerseyman. A DisrATCil
""fporter &at opposite him. The gentleman
from Jersey gave his order and settled back
in the chair in a anticipator- mood, await
its fulfillment. A plate of fruit adorned the
center of the table. He picked out an
ordinary peach from the bunch and held it
Up scrutinizingly before the reporter.
"How much do peaches like that sell for
a bakct here?" he asked.
"About fill cents."
He chucked it carelessly back into the
dUIi, and smiled lazily.
"lou can buy them for 10 cents a crate
down where I come from.','
This was the opening for the rcportcr.and
he inquired u here was this Utopian place
that luscious fruit could be purchased so
cheaply. He said his home was Trenton,
X. J., aud his name was Aaron Hart, and
his business was a lumber dealer. He was
a plain look:nr. reserved sort of man,
dressed in a negligee way, but his con crea
tion told him to be a shrend and close ob
Eertcr of men and things.
A CHEAT DliCO OX TIIK 3IARKr.T.
"Why," said he, "that grade of peaches
would not be salable down there. It looks
like a walnut, and the chances are when it
worshipped it was as hard. You folks out
here don't get the good and true Jersey
peach, bcciusc when they are ripened ready
for picking it is impossible to ship them
further than 2Cew York and Philadelphia.
The crop has been enormous this season,
and lucky is- the man who got out financially
on his product. As an instance to show
how 'drugged' the market was, a friend of
mine sent IIS crates of peaches to a frni-
dealer in Fulton market, New York, to sell
for him. He could not keep them at the
orchard because they would spoil. He
waited for his check from the dealer, and
when he received it it amounted to the
munificent sum of SO cents. This seems in
credible, but it's absolutely true. The
fruit dealer in Xew York could not dispose
nil of them and they bad to be dumped into
the East river."
"What nill be the production of peaches
this season in Xcr Jersey?" questioned the
reporter.
"About 7,000,000 bushels. Only the half
of these will be used for table purposes, not
' to say anything of the loss by spoiling. The
remainder will go to the preserving and
canning establishments.
SOMETHING ABOUT TEACH TREES.
'Peach trees are not worth anything after
thej- have borne fruit five years. The prod
uct then becomes practically tasteless, and
the owner usually cuts down the tree and
replants. Out in "this country I notica you
use them as shade trees. "
At this juncture the waiter served the
luncheon. Among the side dishes was a
sweet potatoe. Mr. Hart touched it with
his fork, remarking- "There's another of
our products. "We have four, great and
crand 'growing industries' down mir way
peaches, sweet potatoes, oysters and sand.
Iu the latter we excel."
The gentleman is a Republican, and re
ferring quietly to politics in JCcw Jersey ho
said littl , but thought, as many Jerseymcn
do, that Blaine could not be elected Presi
dent, the reason being that history shows
that no smart, brilliaut man, so well known
to the people, was ever elected President.
"I have just come up from Cincinnati,"
lie continued, and it looks very much Mc
lvinley down there."
He drew from his pocket one of the Ohio
tickets, which 11 as as large as a blanket.
A JIEGULAE BLANKET-SHEET TICKET.
"What do you think of that?" opening it
lip and displaying the names ot all the
candidates on the four tickets, Democrat,
llepublican, Prohibition and People's.
"Why, a man might as well vote a paper as
large as The Dlspatcil It would keep
me Irom voting at all."
'How is the lumber business?"
"Quiet; very quiet. . The tieople have got
ahead of themselves building, and there is
little demand at present for supplies. You
have a creat town here; its improvement
since I last visited it eight years ago is
phenomenal. It's away ahead of Philadel
phia or Cincinnati for push and bustle, and
lias a mire business-like appearance. Check,
please," and the staid citizen of the Sandy
J'tate sauntered out into the street to make
his train for the I"ast.
MODERN PICTURES PREFERRED.
The Old Masters Are Xeclcctcd Nowadays
for ewer Work.
C S. Pate, a Xcw York art dealer, was at
the Duquesne yesterday. He says that the
3" per cent duty on imported pictures does
not prevent buyers from investing their
money in Ereneh and English works,
cicn when something equally as good
can be produced in this country.
In the case of steel engravings,
especially line engravings, the Trench and
English artists were vet superior to the
American, very few really skilled artists in
this work being found in this country.
I'ublic taste nowadays runs in the direction
ot line engravings, mezzo-tints and water
color drawings, to the exclusion of the
copies of the old masters. His house, he
said, had a Titians copied abroad by a well
know n artist, but there was no sale" for it.
He knew of another house which had old
masters stored in their garrets.
There was also a good market for fine
sheet engravings, but they were not made
in this "country. They could be printed
here as well as they were abroad, but the
tupcriority could not be obtained.
SUGARS AND STARCH.
The
UnQMial Demand for the Former Itun
the Stocks Down.
"The demand for sugars has been greater
in the pa.t six months than was ever
known. " So said II. P. Dil worth, the com
mission broker, yesterday. "Just at present,
how ever, the buyers are waiting for lower
price, but reports from all over the
country show the stock to be low, and this
will necessitate an unusual activity in the
market with large sales at good quotations.
In Chicago the scarcity of cars prevents the
ihipment of the sweet staple East, but we
hope this will be soon remedied."
Mr. Dil worth leaves for "Washington to
day to dose a contract with a mammoth
March manufactory just completed. This
concern will make "starch under an entirely
new process. Heretofore this essential ar
ticle to the laundry has been manufactured
from the rough corn, the germ being allowed
to remain unmov ed. Under the new inven
tion all the deleterious qualities are elim
inated, and the pure white extract of the
cereal is produced. There are certain in-
gradients in the simple grain of corn, which
arc mjurious to linen, but under the new
discovery the man who wonders why his
laundry comes home tattered and thin will
cease usinz expletives not found in that
large vocabulary compiled by Mr. "Webster.
riTTSBUBG'S FINE CAKBIAGES.
A Demand That Has Been Accelerated by
the Opening of Schenley Iark.
Few persons in Pittsburg, perhaps, are
aware that this city is only second to "Sew
York in the manufacture of fine carriages
and other road vehicles. In a talk with one
of the members of I, Glescnkamp & Son,
he informed The DisrATcn that orders
were received from every part of the United
States for carriages of a superior quality and
style. It is not confined to this country,
cither, as many orders from Europe are on
the dooks ol this firm. Even Japan is adopt
ing the American idea of vehicles, and no
less than a dozen fine coaches and 'landaus
are rolling the streets of Yokohama of
Pittsburg manufacture.
Since Schenley Park opened its gates, the
local demand for fine carriages has materi
ally increased. Pittsburgers are not tardv
in adopting a new thing, and the fact is
daily demonstrated that their ideas are be
coming more metropolitan in regard to the
coaches, landaus, T carts and buggies.
Schenley Park has been the means of bring
ing about a new era in the manufacture
of vehicles in Pittsburg.
A TEIBUTE OF RESPECT
Faid by Xewspaper 3Ien to the Memory of
the T.ate .Tames Tlattlgan.
A meeting of newspaper men who had
known James Itattigan was held at the
Press Clubhouse yesterday afternoon. C.
E. Locke was elected Chairman on motion
of "W. E. Gutelius, and George H."Welshons
was designated as Secretary. The Chairman
was instructed to appoint a committee to
prepare a tribute to the memory of de
ceased, and named Stephen Qiiinon, Sena
tor John X. Xeeb and G. F. JIullcr. The
following was adopted:
It is with sincere sorrow that wo, the co
workers w ith tho late James Itattigan, learn
of his death. Knowing his worth, his integ
rity, his unwearied industry and his unfail
ing cheerfulness under all circumstances,
we come together to express a common
grief, conscious of tho fact that a manly
man, a tine friend nnd a loved co-worker
has passed away. And we extend to his be
reaved family and to his aged mother this
tribute to his inemoiy and expression of our
sympathj.
It was then resolved that a committee at
tend the funeral services, to be held to-day
at the Church of the Sacred Heart.

THE
OT W HIS MERITS.
Inspector John McAleese Chosen
Warden of -the County Jail.
ELECTED ON THE FIRST BALLOT.
lie Will Assume the Duties of His New
Position To-Morrow.
MUCH GOSSIP ABOUT HIS SUCCESSOR
Police Inspector John McAleese was
yesterday elected "Warden of tho county
jail at the regular monthly meeting of the
Prison Board. The choice of Mr. McAleese
was not a surprise, as it was expected,
though some people did not expect his ma
jority to be so overwhelming, as several of
the candidates were men of influence and
two of them, Smith and Gang, were men of
large experience in jail management. The
vote stood 9 to 4, the latter votes being
cast for Leon J. Long, a clerk in the Clerk
ol uourts Ulhce. Although .McAleese is a
stalwart Republican it does not appear that
politics had anything to do with the selec
tion. The meeting was held in room Xo. 2 of
of the Common Pleas, Judge Ewing presid
ing. The monthly hills were first acted
upon, and then the election of aWarden was
considered. The candidates were Leon J.
Long, A "W. Smith, Felix C. Xcgley, S. B.
Cluley, 'William H. Garvy and John Mc
Aleese. But one vote was taken, McAleese
getting 9 and Long 4 votes. The members
of the board do not tell how they voted,
Warden John A. McAleese.
The ballot was secret, so that it iB possible
some of the members of the board do not
know themselves just how all the ballots
were cast.
After the result was announced Commis
sioner Mercer called attention to the well
known fact among the members that the
swaddling clothes in the shape of rules made
in 1807 to govern the old jail had been out
grown in 24 years, and suggested that they
bo enlarged and remodeled.
WILT, KEVISE THE JAIL, RULES.
It is urged by some who understand the
situation that the deficiency in the govern
ment of the prison, and for which "Warden
Berlin was not altogether to blame, was at
least partially the cause of the facility with
which murderer Fitzsimmons escaped. Judge
Ewing appointed Judge "White, Commis
sioner Mercer and Mayor Gourley a com
mittee to revise them. Judge Ewing also
appointed Judge Slagle, Controller Gricr
and Commissioner Mercer the Quarterly
Committee. There is promise of reform in
this dircction,as it is said that heretofore one
Quarterly Committee has undone the work
of another, so that the "Warden has not in
reality always been ruler of the jail in fact,
though such in theory.
LIFE OP "WARDEN Sl'ALEESE.
"Warden McAleese is this morning, ac
cording to the nativity record, 40 years, G
months and 24 days old. He was born in
the Thirteenth ward, and never lived far
away from that neighborhood. After leav
ing school he learned the carpenter trade,
and on April 8, 1872, he was made a hose
man in the AVilliain Phillips Engine Com
pany, which was organized on that date.
He subsequently reached the captaincy of
the company, and remained with it until
March 1, 1888, when he wa appointed In
spector of the Eirst police district, and
since then he has been noted for general
efficiency and get-up.
AVarden McAleese will enter upon his
new duties to-morrow morning. He set to
work to make out, his f2p,000 bond yester
day." Financially the position is worth well
on to over three times that of the Police In
spectorship. That was $1,260 a year, while
the "Warden gets $3,000 a year, house rent,
provisions and fuel added.
A VICTORY FOR TITE PEOPLE.
All yesterday morning Inspector Mc
Aleese was kept busy receiving congratula
tions from his thousands of friends. In the
afternoon he put in his time making ar
rangements for moving into the "Warden's
residence on Monday. He wears the honor
modestly and says his election was a victory
ot public opinion as expressed through the
press.
"With the announcement of Inspector Mc
Aleese's election came numerous candidates
for his present position. Detective Robert
Robinson is said to be in the lead, the only
objection at present being his want of age.
The other candidates are Detective Sol
Coulson, Captain Dan Silvis and ex-Police
Magistrate Brokaw. Captain Mercer, of
the Second police district, has also been
spoken of for the place. AVhen Chief
Brown was asked about the matter yester
day he said he did not know just when the
appointment would be made. He will prob
ably make it within the week. Superin
tendent of Police "Weir will take charge of
the First district until the appointment is
made.

PZTTSBURG DISPATCH,
WATER WORKS WANTED
Uy the Residents or Neville Island The
Scarcity or Gas Leading to aMetropoll-
' tan Innovation How tho Valuable Fluid
I Now Up-ed.
"Seville Island, which is also Neville
township, is abontto have not only water
works but to enjoy the luxury of a bonded
indebtedness a thincr wbinb that so-near-
and-vct-so-far unsophisticated locality hasJThe Central Trades Council Indorses the
never enjoyed during the century, more or
less, ot its civilizett autonomy.
Mr. Pittock, who manages the natural
gas company that supplies the island with
gas, has heretofore used himself and sold to
the gardeners natural gas with which to run
their engines which lift water to water
their ground. It is not used as fuel, but in
the cylinders of the engines instead of
steam. As gas gets scarcer the force be
comes more costly, at least to the pur
veyor, consequently Mr. Pittock no longer
cares to furnish it, it being worth more lor
fuel, and proposes that waterworks be
erected instead, as cheaocr and more effect
ive and less liable to. failure, as it is possi
ble the gas pressure may become too weak
in a short time. i-
The proposition seems so acceptable that
it is more than likely all the people on the
island will be '"in it" within a few days.
Mr. Kerr and John "Wesley Brown stated
yesterday that they thought operations
would be commenced very soon.
It is proposed to have an iron tank bnilt
on the Fleming property, south of the Pitts
burg and Lake Erie Kailway, opposite the
head of the island, on an eminence sufficient
to give the requisite pressure and pump
water from the river into the tank. Pipe
will be laid tho entire length of the island
and people will pay for the use of water,
either by meter or according to the size ot
the irrigation pipe they use. The water is
not intended to be used for either drinking
or cooking, as the islanders have excellent
wells in which the river water is filtered
through an immense body of sand and
gravel aud cannot be improved upon. The
cost of tank and pipe is comparatively little.

men employed there are expected out to
morrow. The miners employed by the Youghio
gheny Company, of which the late "W. L.
Scott was president, are included in this
number, and they are unorganized. The
company had been paying 80 cents, or 1
cent in advance of the district price.
THE OTHER MIXES AFFECTED.
Other mines affected by yesterday's
movement arc the Osceola, operated by J.
"W. Shields, who has a contract to supply
the Baltimore and Ohio Itailroad. The
men have agreed to mine enough to supply
the railroad engines only, but will not
allow any coal to be shipped oway to
fill other contracts. The Big Chief
mines of John Blythe are also
idle, as are Stone's mines. The
two mines employ about 200 men. The
Coffee mines ot W. H. Dilworth, and the
Slope, owned by the Shaner Gas Coal
Company, employing jointly 300 men, com
plete the list of "mines that struck yester
day. Some trouble is looked for at the Scott
Mine So. 1, as the men there refused to
cot e out. The committee gave them until
Monday to come out. There was some talk
of bloodshed last night, but an effort
will be made on the part of
the officials to keep down strife.
Mr. McQuaide said last night that the
miners are making an admirable fight.
"Work has been plenty all summer, and the
men are in a good condition to stand nn
idleness for several weeks. He said the
number of men organized and unorganized
will now reach about 13,500, leaving not
more than 1,400 at work in the entire dis
trict. BIO OPERATORS IN THE "WAT.
The greatest obstacle in the way of the
miners winning immediately are the big
operators. Many of the small ones have
signified their willingness to grant the de
mands, but the larger ones are willing to
carry the smaller ones along, even if it costs
them a few thousand dollars, just as the
large contractors carried the smaller ones in
the recent building trades strike.
J. Morton Hall had nothing new to re
port yesterday, but it was learned from
another source that the operators have taken
steps to ward off any legal proceedings that
might be commenced to compel them to fill
pressing contracts. An attorney has been
retained in Chicago to look after their in
terests in that end of the country and legal
service will also be engaged here. The com
mittee that is to help Mr. Floershcim will
meet to-morrow. He said yestesday that
his contracts in the "Wheeling district
must be filled, and if the other operators
cannot keep their agreement with him, he
will be compelled to grant the advance.
SOME TROUBLE YET EXPECTED.
There is likely to be some trouble vet
over the Floersheim case, as Mr. ifall
claims that Mr. Floersheim has signed an
agreement with the operators uncondition
ally not to grant the advance, while the
latter claims they have agreed to sec that
his contracts are filled.
. Mr..,McQuaid thinks ittwill be impossi
ble for them to do this now that there are
only a few small miues working, and those
that are working in the Chartiers district
have been granted the advance. The miners
are anxious for a pressing demand in the
Pittsburg district so that the river operators
can get a chance to show their hand by
dumping coal into the local market.
A CEISIS COMING.
Another Batch of Printers Arrl ed Tester
day for Strikers' Places.
A crisis is looked for in the printers'
strike to-morrow. In many of the houses
it will be payday. An opportunity will be
given those who want to go back to work,
to take their old places and those who refuse
to do so will be discharged. This is the
plan adopted, as given out by one of the
principal employers yesterday.
Thirty-nine additional men came into the
city yesterday morning and all went to
work. This makes 55 typos and 7 pressmen
now in the places of that many strikers.
Percy Smith said last evening that so far as
his firm and those of Meyers, Shinkle &
Co., Stevenson & Foster and Eichbaum &
Co. are concerned the strike is virtually
won.
The strikers are resting easy and claiming
that they have not begun to work yet.
They still insist that the majority of the
men who have been brought here are union
men, and that when tho proper time comes
they will spring a surprise upon the em
ployers that will cost them several hundred
dollars more. It has already been an ex-
f ensive strike to the employers, but the
ypos propose to let it continue and have
their fun with the employers later on.
FOEMED TO "SAKE TYPEWEITEBS.
Organization of the Danzherty Manufactur
ing Company Complete.
J. D. Daugherty, the Kittanning lawyer,
was at the Anderson yesterday. He says
the organization of the Daugherty Manu
facturing Company has been completed.
Joseph Buflingtoa is the President; E. A.
Kitzmiller, Vice President; Charles J.
Moesta, Treasurer, and J. D. Daugherty,
Secretary and Superintendent. Mr. Daugh
erty will leave to-morrow for "Sew York to
have models of two gauges of the new type
writer made There will be two varieties,
one of slightly better quality than the
other.
Mr. Daugherty says he is looking about
for a metal that will combine lightness with
strength and durability. He thinks that
aluminum bronze will suit, but will investi
gate other alloys now in the market before
deciding what shall be used. He says that
the first 1,000 instruments will be" made
under contract by some manufacturing com
pany, and that while these are being sold
the factory at Kittanuing will be placed
under construction.
A BOYCOTT LIFTED.
Trouble Between tho Iv.ofL.anil a Brew
ins Company Settled.
Tbe trouble between a local assembly of
the K. of L., in St. -Louis and the Anheuser
Busch Brewing Association has been settled
and the General Executive Board of the K.
of L. directed the Secretary John "V. Hayes
to send an official letter to'this effect to the
Association.
In his letter Mr. Hayes says: "The mat
ters of which we thought we had cause to
complain, we now believe have all along
been the result of misunderstandings rather
than of any willingness on your part to
deal unjustly or even unkind lv toward
your employes or our order. The board
considers the settlement arrived at as alike
honorable and Knt,Uti.tnrtr tn nil pnncerncd.
and one which, while reflecting the highest
credit upon you, will be gratifying to all i
friends of organized labor." r

Tied a Sponge on Hl Head.
The carriage-washing contest announced a
few days ago to take place between '"Buck"
Xolden and James McQuillan, two South
side carriage drivers, came off yesterday
afternoon at South Twelfth and Bradford
streets. McQuillan came out victorious,
won a purse of S100 and beat his opponent
two minutes, having washed his carriage in
fl minutes and 50 seconds. The contest was
quite interesting and the novel way the
work was done made it still more so. After
turning the hose on his carriage for a few
minutes, McQuillan then tied a large
sponge to his head, and with one in each
hand dried on the carnage. oiaen
couldn't handle quite as many sponges, aud
of course, come out loser.

ing" Mrs. Martha Christy, of Brilliant Hill,
with neglecting her two daughters, aged re
spectively 13 years and 17 years. Agent

they had better reform their ways.
