THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. SECOND PART. PAGES 9 TO 20. PITTSBUEG, SUMDAT, OCTOBER 18, 1891. 10 PEACE II SIGHT Between the Warring Irish Pactions and the Fight Still Continnes. BAD PASSIONS AEOTJSED. The first Battle of the Campaign to Come Off at Cork for SHE YACAXT SEAT OF PARNELL. Ealfonr Chosen Leader of the House of Com mons Over Goschen. 1 KECOMPIXSE FOE THE CHANCELLOR IBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCB.1 London, Oct. 17. Copyrighted. The state of affairs in Ireland appears to be Tery discourasing. Parnell's death, which it was hoped would bring about a reconcilia tion between the contending factions, seems rather to have embittered the controversy and aroused the nost rancorous political passions on both sides. Decency and rev erence have been for the moment thrown to the winds. The dead leader has been re viled on the one side as a loathsome 6inner, for whom eternity atiords no hope, while on the other hand he has been likened unto the Uedeemer. Although the furious storm has once more transformed the stream of Irish politics into a turbid torrent, there is no reason to doubt that the scum which now befouls it will be swept into and absorbed by the sea cf the general election. There arc signs alreadv of dissensions among the dissentients, and there is ground for the hope that within a month the Parliamentary irreconciliables will not number more than a score. To these men no quarter will be ghen, and they will doubtless die hard. THE FIRST BATTLE AT CORK. The first battle of the campaign will be fought at Cork, th seat rendered vacant by the death of Parnell. If "the physical force men" cannot win rebel Cork, then the chances are poor indeed. But they will lose even in the citv. erstwhile the strone- hold of Fenianism There is danger, although remotu, that the Tory candidate may tneak in while the Nationalist garri sons are fighting outside for possession of the citadeL The home rulers of all shades of complex ion number about 6,000, and the Tories and Mugwump Liberals count as nearly as pos sible 2,500 votes. The latter will "be cast solidly for the Tory candidate, whose suc cess, therefore, depends upon the closeness with which the JCationalist vote may be divided. A good deal will depend upon the personality of the anti-Parnellite candidate. If Jlichael Davitt or AVilliam O'Brien be selected, the patriot poll would probably aggregate 4,000. In any event it will not number less than 3,000. KTLEEIOfr OVEE AGAXS. The election for the vacancy in Xorth Kilkenny, caused by Sir John Pope Hen nessey's death, will take place before that at Cork, the Speaker having already inti mated lus intention io issue a warrant for a new writ at the end of next week, but it is unlikely that the Parnellites will pluck up courage to fight in a constituency in which they were recently bad'y beaten, and the struggle will really commence in Cork. One effect ot the split in the Irish party has been the discouragement which has lallen upon the active Nationalist workers in many centers in Ulster. This is particu larly manifest in the revision of the voters' lists for West Belfast, which has just been completed. The Orangemen have gained no fewer than 900 new voters, a fact which in all probability will lose Mr. Sexton his seat at the next election. The intrigues for the leadership of the House of Commons, which commenced even before the grave closed over the remains of Mr. Smith, has terminated in the appoint ment of Balfour. The claims of Goschen were urged so warmly that Lord Salisbury, whose health was too delicate to allow him to attend the funeral of Mr. Smith, traveled post haste from the South of Prance to take tie matter in hand. SOFT 'WOKDS FOR GOSCHEX. Lord Hirtington also found it necessary to come to town to administer consolation and to preach patience to the irate Chancel lor of the Exchequer, who had expected as a matter of course to succeed to the Com mons leadership. Balfour did'not take the troublo to come to London, but played golfe serenely in Scotland, while his lriends looked after his interests. Lord Salisbury, before consulting with Lord Hartington, decided on Friday in favor of Balfour, and tioschen had no option but to acquiesce, as Hartington failed to support him as strongly as he had hoped. It is raid tnat the pill has been sugar coated by the conferment on the Chancellor of the Lord "Wardenship ot zhe Cinque Ports, the pleasant sinecure enjoyed by Mr. Smith for only a few months in "succession to Earl Granville. But however that may he, Goschen swallowed it with unexpected alacrity and grace. GOSWIE2T IAUBS BALFOUR. On the evening of the day upon which his hopes were blighted, he delivered a speech at Cambridge, in which he praised lialfour's genius and courage in "throttling the icy cold specter of Irish sedition," and expressed confidence that the man who had throttled these spectres would have no difficulty in navigating the ship of State "in her proud end serene course down the shining stream of her imperial destinies." The audience took this grotesque adulation quite seri ously and cfieercd witn much enthusiasm. Tile Tory and Mugwump Liberal news papers are full of praise of this magnani mous man, this large-hearted patriot, who is always making sacrifices upon the altar of duty, and has for years been unselfishly pocketing a salary of 5,000 per annum for his disinterested services, yet, sad to say, the generous Goschen and the chivalrous Balfour have infirmities of temper like com aion men, and politicians familiar with the iil-matclied pair gleeiully expect some lively gibbing and boltingand kickings over traces when they arc set to work in double l-arntss next session. A KATHER POOR LEADER. Balfour is undeniably the strongest man in Lord Salisbury's Cabinet, but it is not improbable that his masterful character will make him a poor leader of the House of Commons, in dealing with Which tact and jrood humor arc most necessary qualities. Ballour boasts that he leaves Ireland paci fied and easily managed. He quits Dublin Castle with the prestige of this alleged suc cess, and if the new Chief Secretary should snuddle things, the fault, of course, will not fee lU'.fuur's. The :.pw master of Ireland has not yet ecn n-lected, but the favorite candidates a'e Mr. Jtitcmc, President of the Local ivornmest r.o.mi;hir "William Hart Dvke, was Chief Secretary from Jnne, ISSS.to Jwiaa.-r, 28.SG, and Mr. Jackson, Secretary el t.

Balfonr'R transference from one TIaca of profit tinder the crown to another does not affect the tenure of his seat in Parliament. BOYCOTTING A SCHOOL. Six Small Children and a Tonne Domestic Tried for the Offence. rBT CABLE TO THE DISrATCH. Lokdon, Oct. 17. At Arthurstown, County Wexford, on "Wednesday, six small boys and girls, ranging in age from 8 to 11 years of age, and one Mary Doyle, aged 16, a domestio servant, were solemnly arraigned at the suit of the Crown for boycotting the school at Ballyacnllane. The defendants must have been desperats characters for the town was filled with extra police and the Court House was strongly guarded. The judicial manuscript will show to the future historian how Johnny made faces at Paddy, and how Annie Kooney shouted acainst Dick Cooney and many other dread ful things, but whcD the witnesses for the prosecution came to be cross-examined it was demonstrated that none of the defend ants except Mary Doyle exceeded the bounds of "moral suasion." The six juveniles were consequently ac quitted, and the mature Mary was simply fined 40 shillings, which Father Murphy obligingly paid for her. It was a great day for Arrnurstown, and the Ballycullane small boys marched in processionplaying triumphal airs on tin whistles all thcafter noon, and in the evening Balfour was burnt in effigy. BOTAL MATCH-MAKING. Twin Sisters Who Appear to Be In Demand as Brides for Princes. TBY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.! London, Oct. 17. Nearly a dozen expla nations of tho Russian Chancellor's visit to King Humbert have been offered since it took place. The ODly one that is really in teresting and not palpably absurd comes to the front to-day. It is to the effect that M. De Giers went to Villa Mousa to propose a match between one of the twin daughters of the Grand Duchess "Vera, widow of Prince Eugene of Wurtemburtr. and the Prince of Naples. who, by the way, had been betrothed by the newspapers to a score of Princesses, includ ing two of the Prince of Wales' daughters. The twins are described as reasonably good looking and entirely devoid of prejudices or predictions. They are fancy tree, and although nominally Lutherans they have not formally adopted any re ligion, pending the arrival of the expected man. One of them, it is vaguely stated, is destined for the Czarewitch, in which event she will become a dutiful daughter of the Greek Catholic Church. The other, if 6he Ehould not find favor in the eyes of the Italian Crown Prince and embrace Boman Catholicism, may become an Anglican Protestant and the bride of Prince Albert Victor, of Wales. AH AMATEUB FBOPHBI. He Predicted the Beeent Bis Storm in Eng land Last July. nST-CABLE TO T1IE DISFATCH.1 London, Oct. 17. There is an amateur meteorologist living in a London suburb who seems to be worthy the attention of weather prophets. In July last year he wrote to the newspapers here predicting a furious storm on the 12th of this present month, chiefly on the ground that Mars would on that date be in conjunction with Saturn. The storm commenced at the predicted time, and has scarcelv finished: vet the amateur, while demeaning himself with 'some amount of modest v, claims that this is tue twelttn storm due to the conjunction of the aforesaid planets foretold by him months in advance, and consequently he feels competent to warn professional prophets that "while British meteorologists continue to ignor planetary action on the atmosphere, they will make no progress in predictive meteorology." A SALVATION ABJIY OITZB. The Sam of 10,500 Tendered for a Site for Its Proposed New Building. TBY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.! London, Oct 17. If anything were needed to show the resources of the Salva tion Army, it would be forthcoming by their offer to pay a ground rent of 10,500 yearly for a plot of land on the Thames embankment This does not, of course, cover anything beyond the land. There would still be required an enormous sum to erect their proposed buildings on the site, but the City fathers are not in love with the Salvation Army, and though business is business, the city of London is not likely to hand over one of the finest sites in the" Metropolis to the brass band disciples of the blood and fire fraternity. The Army is getting up a gigantic wake, which they call a memorial service, of the late Mrs. Booth at Crystal Palace on Mon day. PBAKCE AHD M0B0CC0. An African Territorial Dlspnte That May read to Hostilities. Paris, Oct 17. The claim of Morocco to the Touat oasis, in Central Africa, is utter ly repudiated by the French Government France declares that these places are entire ly within her spheres of influence, accord ing to a recent agreement between her and the European powers to settle the question of the occupation of Africa. The claim of Morocco is making a great stir in Paris. In an interview on the sub ject, M. Kibot said the French Foreign Department is determined to maintain its position. It could not permit a commercial route of such importance as this to the French colony of Algeria to fall into the hands of Morocco, nor could it allow peace to be disturbed there. He concluded with the significant phrase that he was deter mined to bring Morocco to reason. A FOWEBFUL WABSHIP. The New Cruiser Blake the Largest, Swiftest and Strongest In the World. BT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, Octl7. The British Admiralty claim to have produced in the new warship Blake the largest, swiftest and most power ful cruiser in the world. She has cost 500, 000 sterling, and if official hopes be con firmed, she will be cheap at the price. She is guaranteed to steam 22 knots an hour. Her boilers will develop 20,000-horse power, and she has a phenomenal coal carrying capacity. A Bullions Competition. tBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH, London, Oct. 17. It is interesting to know that trade competition in Europe is now 60 great that the British manufacturer is compelled to make enormous sacrifices in order to secure business. This week a large Staffordshire firm took an order for 14,000 tons of steel rails from fnniim Government at 4 2s 6d per ton, a price which, under the stipulations laid down in ne order will result : in a loss of nearly 15 shillings per ton. Brazil in Good Condition. London, Oct 17. An official dispatch received here from Brazil denies that there is any truth in tho alarming reports circu lated regarding the condition of the coun try. On the contrary, perfect order prevails every v here, and the economical situation was never better. President Fonseca has entirely recovered from his illaesx. AS OLD DIRECTORY. Unique Book Which Served Pittsburg Seventy-Six Years Ago. ITS ODD ASSORTMENT OP PACTS. Manufacturing Concerns and Names That Are Familiar To-Day. WHIT TVAE DID FOR THE TOUNG CITY. 3. F. Diffenbacher, who is known to the present generation as the directory maker, not only of Pittsburg and Allegheny, but of most of the towns of Western Pennsyl vania, obliged a reporter the other day by the loan of a directory of Pittsburg in 1815, before "Allegheny Town," now a city of over 100,000 inhabitants, had a place among the municipalities of the world, and noth ing is calculated to show more distinctly the difference between the even then pre tentious center of culture and religious and political thought of Western Pennsylvania and the present aggregation of Intelligence, wealth and population than a comparison of the town of 9,000 souls and the present one with a population over 40 times as great These two cities now contain more inhabitants than the entire State did at the time this diiectory was made. The directory of 1815 not only contained the names, professions and residences of the the heads of families and persons in busi ness in the borough of Pittsburg, but also an appendix containing a variety of useful information regarding the Government of the United States, with James Madison President; Government of Pennsylvania, Simon Snyder, Governor; judiciary, pro thonotaries of the Supreme Court, President judges of the Common Pleas and other courts, recorders, sheriffs, etc., justices of the peace and constables of the borough of Pittsburg, etc couldn't keep house without it. Besides there was full information about the arrival and departure of mails, rates of postage, census of the United States and of the principal cities of the Union, census of the taxable inhabitants of Pennsylvania in 1814, taxes on various goods, wares and' merchandise manufactured within the United States, mercantile taxes, stamp duties, taxes on furniture. It contained a list of Pittsburg banks and the turnpike companies, and gave information as to a Bible, Humane and n Chemical and Physi ological Society, the Pittsburg Permanent Library Company, the Eagle and Vigilant fire companies, the Masonio societies and the houses ot worship. It also contained "almanacks" for 1815 and 1816, with court sittings for all counties west of the summit of the Allegheny Mountains; a history of the manufactories of Pittsburg and instructions for securing pay, bounties, half pay, pensions and bounty-land. There was a table of coins of the United States and foreign countries, "a treatise on the re duction of currencies of the different states into each other," a short mtthod of com puting interest and a list of roads showing the distance and towns along the routes be tween Pittsburg and- Harrisburg, Philadel phia, Detroit, Washington, Vincennes, Buffalo, Warreu, Chilicothe, Urbana, Painesville, Nashville, New Or leans, Morgautown, Cincinnati, etc. Indeed, the whole formed a compilation without which the Pittsburger ot that day could scarce keep house, and it was all com prised in a book 4x6 inches of 156 pages. WHAT TIIE COMPILER HAd'tO SAT. The compiler, evidently a man born In advance of his age in business, was James M.Ttiddle, a lawyer, general agent, land and stock broker, and the only one in Pitts We will sell ft goods for the S m same money Jf and more g m goods for less M money thaa m any house in m the universe. m Household Credit Go.

His advertisement occupies the last page of the book. Ho complains of one drawback to the perfeotion of the book, which com plaint is still chargeable to many of the manufacturers of the city, yiz, that, with two or three exceptions, they refused to give him a statement of their business, so that he was obliged to estimate it The principal manufacturing establishment was the Pittsburg Steam Engine Company, whose works occupied seven departments and turned out many articles, such as cast ings in iron and brass, 'anvils, anchors, bells, hinges, screws, iron, brass and wood turning, etc This company furnished the greater part of the anchors for Commodore Perry's sauadron on Lake Erie. The works were on the north side of Front street, be low Ferry. Thomas Copeland made steam engines on Watt & Bolton's plan, improved, and the Mississippi Steamboat Company made steam engines on Fulton's plan. A wire factory propelled by steam was operated by Will iam Eichbaum, Sr. George Evans Sa Co.'s steam flour mill drove three pairs of stones and ground about 60,000 bushels of grain annually. Whiting & Co. ran a steam rolling and slitting mill, and it was fitted with machinery for cutting and heading nails. It. Patterson & Co. had a steam paper miller, in which great quantities of excellent paper were made and of all varie ties. J. Jelly operated a steam cotton fac tory. HAD BUILT FOUR STEAMBOATS. Four steamboats had then been built in Pittsburg, the New Orleans, Vesuvius, iEtna and Buffalo, and there was another on the stocks. There were three foundries in Pittsburg and one in Birmingham, at which castings of every description "from a spider to a cannon were extensively and hand somely executed." At McClnrg & Mo Knight's foundry was a mill for boring can non. There were three large breweries and one small one, which consumed 130,000 bushels of grain annually, turning it into 10,000 barrels of beer, ale and porter. Two white lead factories owned by A. Beelen and J. Stevenson and a white and red lead factory owned by Trevor, Pet tigrew & Troost supplied this part of the world with painting materials and acids. There were three extensive ropewalks making all kinds of ropes, twine and cord age The principal part of the cordate for Perry's fleet was made htere. Two cables weighed 4,000 pounds and were i inches in diameter. Of glass, Mr. Biddle sayst "There are two white and three green glass houses. The amount annually manufactured is estimated at 5200,000. Glass cutting is also executed equal to an in Europe." In addition to this, we are told that stirrup irons, bridle bits, queensware, locks, firebricks and sad dlery were manufactured extensively, and assured that everything mentioned was com ducted on a large scale, and quality of out put at least equal to that done in any other part of the United States. PITTSBURG THRIVED ON WAS. Mr. Biddle added to his other duties that of historian. He describes the plan of tho borough, gives its latitude and longitude, an'd has something to say about Forts Du quesae and Pitt, and then goes on to say: 'The population in 1800 was about 2,400 souls; in 1810 the census gave 4,740, and in 1815 a calculation founded on what is be lieved to bo correct data makes an estimate of upward o'f 9,000. This great increase of population is to be attributed to the late war with Great Britain, which converted a great portion of the capital of the seaboard into manufactures, much of which was con centrated' in this place. The transportation of southern produce during the war, through Pittsburg across the mountains, also contributed greatly to the increase of population here. Few places can boast of more useful improvements in manufactures and the meehanicar arts than Pittsburg it has been justly and emphatically styled 'The Birmingham of America.' A compara tive view of its progress must indeed awaken admiration, Until about the year 1793 its increase was not rapid in the year fll EYERY CREDIT SALE On which a $15 payment is made, we give one of these fine EBONY GOLD FACED HALF -HOUR-STRIKE 8 DAY CLOCKS.

With profound Contempt for anything Charles Dickens might have to say 27 years later regarding the American Birmingham, Mr. Biddle goes on to tell us that three weekly newspapers of extensive circulation and two periodical literary works were pub lished. The circulation of the weeklies he says was chiefly confined to the town and immediate vicinity. In an enumeration of the publio buildings, beginning with the Court House, he mentions three Incorpo rated banks, three market houses, one in the Diamond and two on Second street: a Masonic Hall, an academy and a "Dramatio THIRTY-FIVE SLAVES IN THE COUNTT. The number of slaves in the eonntv had dwindled to 85 and of these but one was in Pittsburg. Pitt township had 15, Eliza beth, 3; Mifflin, 1; St Clair, 3; Eobiuson, 6; Fayette, 5 and Moon L. It cost 12 cents to send a letter to Greens burg, 15 cents to send one to Blairsvillo, 18 ceuts to send one to Hollidaysburg, 25 cents to Harrisburg 39 cents to Phila delphia and 37J4 centa to New Orleans, or any other plaee in the Union oyer COO miles distant There wasn't much nonsensical letter writing at that time. This item of letter postage is also found in this old directory. Among public institutions was the Pitts burg Bible Society, Eev. Kobert Bruce, President; Bey. Thomas Hunt, Vice Presi dent, and Bev. Bobert Patterson, Treasurer. As Bevs. Joseph Stockton and Joseph Kerr were on the directory, Bevs. John Black and Francis Herron, Secretaries, the clerical party had a safe majority in that institution. The Pittsburg Humane Society at that time was the germ of the present Society for the Improvement of the Poor. Its expressed object was to supply the wants of the hungry, the naked and the aged and to administer com fort to the widow, the orphan and the sick. -it was supported uy an iniuauon lee ui u dollar and quarterly contributions of 50 cents; also by donations of money, food, fuel and apparel, and collections wero taken quarterly in the churches when charity sermons were preached. The ward com mittees were charged with the duty of see ing that the charity of the institution was not abused. THE DIRECTORY SERVED NINE YEARS. Mr. Biddlo's directory satisfied the ambi tion and wants of Pittsburg for nine years. In 1824, probably moved by the visit of General La Fayette,. Judge Jones compiled another directory which, some five years later, was followed by that of Harris, rather more pretentious, bnt not much, than its predecessors. In that ot 1815 will be found'the names of the ancestors of many thousands of the present population names which seem to belong to the city, such as Adams, Avery, Bailey, Bake well, Barker, Birmingham, Black, Blair, Boggs, Bradley, Brewer, Bruce, Byrne, Chambers, Chaplin, Christy, Con nor, Copeland, Crossan, Cunningham, Denny, Darlington, Darragh, Davis, Devin ney, Dickson. Doran, Eichbaum, Fairman, Foster, Gazzam, Gormly, Guy, Hare, Har ris, Herron, Holmes, Hubley, Humbert, Irish, Irwin, Jackman (Andrew), Jarvis, Johnston, Kerr, Knox, Kirkpatrick (Abra ham, Major), Knox, Laird, Latshaw, Leckey, Lewis, Little,- McCabe, Mc Candless, McClintock, McCreery, Mc Cullough, Magee (Christopher Hatter), Neal, O'Hara, Ormsby, Oliver, Page, Parks, Patterson, Pentland, Phillips, Poe, Porter, Pride, Benfrew, Beno, Biddle, Binehart, Boseburgh, Bussel, Sample, Scaife, Scull, Scully, Shannon, Shiptonj Skelton, Snee, Srodes, Steel, Stockton.Tait, Taggart, Tannehill, Updegraff, Varner, Walker, Wallace, Watson, Wiley, Wil kins.
