W THE PITTSBUEG DISPATCH, MONDAY.. , OCTOBER . 19. 1891. PITTSBURG PRAISED By All the Street Railway Men Who Are Now Comm? Together by the Hundred in This Gity. A PLACE PLEASING EVERYBODY. The Tush, Energy and Enterprise of the People Commended by Men Who Keep Their Eyes Open. ECPEEB EAPID TRANSIT FACILITIES That Astraish Ewn Those TTh Arc Used to Seeing the Very Best. The Jlononjjahcla House last night looked like the machinery ball of a world's fair. JElectric appliances and street railway fix tures of every desisn were displayed throughout the corridors, in private rooms and wherever an available corner could be round. The street railway supply men have cap tured the town in anticipation of the cora inp convention of the American Street JIailway Association, and with their sam ples at their command are lyinp in wait for the coming of the magnates who own the street railways. To-day the exhibits to be made on the steamboats Mayflower and T. M. Gusky will be placed in position. Tracks will also be placed along the wharf at the foot ot Smithfield street, and cars of various designs placed on exhibition. The members of the association will not com mence coming to the city until to-day. AH rieaseel With Pittsburg. A number of the supply men were taken through the city yesterday by local street car men. They were all well pleased with Pittsburg, and during the evening gathered in groups about the hotel corridors to talk about the c:ty's wonders. Among the mo&t enthusiastic was H. I Cagill, of the Thomson-Houston Company, who is stop ping at the Duquesne. "Pittsburg is the advance guard of civilization," he said. "I never saw such energetic people," he continued: "their faces bear the evidences of determination and push and every action of the average Pitt'burger shows him to have some objec; in life and the ability to carry it out. Take C. L. 3Iagce for in stance: a man who is the embodiment of nineteenth century energy. Vbn he ivalks alongthe street he 'sees everything; liis .countenance shows that he is watching" all themoements of the shuffling crowd, and they tell me that he is never known to pass a man he knows without recognizing him. It is the same with all the leading men. They are not cynical, as the people in speculative Chicago. They are not exacting in formality, although the society 3n the city ii recognized in 2scw York as ceine of the best, and in every way human ity is placed on a high plane. ?Inrp)ou in Its Manufactories. "It is a marvelous city in a manufactur ing way, having al! the natural products at hand, and to me it seems like the trip-hammer that shapes the products of the world for other hands to finish. "The first thing that attracts a stranger's eye is the numerous crowds on the streets. Last night I noticed that every down-town pavement was filled like a convention halL Hut still 1 found no tronble in getting through. I just got close to the cont-tails of a Pittsburger who was going my way, and he cleared the path. It seems to me that, with the exception of New York and Chicico, all the cities of the country will soon be following Pittsburg's coat-tails in much the same way that I followed one of its citizens lat night. "The street railways in the citvare remark ably good. The people should be proud of them. I know of no other city as hilly as Pittsburg that has as good means for trans portation. The convention of street rail way people 'will be very interestine and will benefit the citv in that it will call the attention of prominent men to its great industries." Everybody Hustles In Plttibui-g. Mr. J. Sullivan, who is in charge of the Edison General Electric Company's display, was equally well pleased with Pittsburg. He is a native of Xew York. In comparing Pittsburg with his own city he said he noticed that the people here seemed to be ononeplaneol equality, while in New York there are the rich, the indolent and the business people all in separate elates. "Every ieroa hustle here," he contin ued, "but still they don't seem to tramp on each other's toes. Of course, I am very much interested in manufacturing and look forward with pleasure to the excursions the local committee has promised." Peferring to Mr. Edison, Mr. Sullivan said he was well acquainted with the great inventor. He said that Edison had prom ised to be present at the convention, but it is doubtful whether he will come. "When asked about Mr. Ellison's deafness, Mr. Sullivan said: "The old man claims Ins deafness is get fine worse, but whenever he gets in a di rectors' meeting it is alwavs noticed that he catches everything that is said. He de spises Catterv. and he finds the general be lief that he is deaf very useful in disposing of unwelcome visitors. His health is good, and he is working on new discoveries that will some day startle the world." All Anxious to See the City. Elmer I'. Morris, of the Thomson-Houston Company, is one of the hustlers-among the supplv men. He anticipates a large convention from the fact that the railway men of the South and "West have never' visited Pittsburg, and will all be anxious to see the citt. His first im pression of the city Mas that it was a good businesb town, but not a Aery pleasant Jla"0 to live in. This brought out an interruption from G. 1. Greenwood, another Thomson-Houston man, who had been in the city before, and who asked Mr. Morris if he had visited the East End. Mr. Morris replied in the nega tive. "Then don't talk." said Mr. Greenwood. "People out there live like kings and could pive us New Yorkers some pointers on ele jranca." Rapid Transit at Its Best. Perhaps th best known jnan among the visitors at present on the ground is Clarence E. htump, business manager of the btrrt Hailica; Journal. He has made street rail ways almost a life study and said he consid ered those in Pittsburg" on a par with any in cities of its size in the country. He thought the means of transit were remarka bly rapid, in view of the fact that the city is built on hills as steep almost as an Alpine mountain. He will keep an intelligence bureau at the Monongahela House during the week. The meeting will be held in the conven tion hall of the Monongahela House and will be called together at 10 o'clock "Wednesday morning. It is expected that GOO delegates will be present. Six Small IJoys Tt lio Will Irink. John Dillon, James Presli, John Carroll, "Bunty" ICronan, Robert Parker and John Dugan Mere arrested yesterday morning by Officers O'Neill aand Dutton. The prisoners are boys, each about lo years old. They were drinking beer and acting disorderly on Twenty-sixth street. Dillon is a boy whom the police have been, looking for for a long time, it being alleged" that he was implicated in several small robberies. All the boys are at the Twelfth ward station. SATURDirsJCOUELNGS Disposed or at the Regular Minday Police Hearings Manpijer DrvIs Appears Against a JtTan Trying to Spread a Boy cott Against His Theater. Police Magistrates had very ordinary hearings yesterday. Though the city was full of people Saturday night they did not give the police much to do. One of the AIvin'8 Enemies. The hearings at Central station were few in number, only 20 prisoners having been brought in Saturday night. Seven work house sentences were administered. Claude Duval disclaimed relationship with the no torious original of that name, but said he was out of work and could get none. The officer testified that Duval had been arrested several times as a vagrant ora drunk and made no effort to get work. A 30-day sen tence was prescribed. Saveuo Ferraro had been arrested by Officer Conners early Sun day morning while pasting up small notices referring to the Alvin Theater boycott on windows at "Wylie avenue 3iid "Washineton street. Manager Davis, of the Alvin, had heard of the arrest and appeared against the prisoner. He testified: lhese notices nave done mv theater a. great deal of harm. Many of them have been posted in all parts of the citv. I have tried for some time to find out who was doing this dirtv work on me. I would not care so much If I was in any way to blame. But I am not, and will make a determined effort to have this causeless persecution stopped." The mag istrate lectured the prisoner on the impro priety of defacing property, and gave him a SO" days' sentence to the workhouse. Charles llichards, eolored, who lives near the Tenth Street bridge, also came in fora 30 days' sentence. Officer Moan, at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, heard a cry for help from just below the bridge, and, start ing in that direction, met John Uoberts running away. Roberts was drunk and hatless. He said Itichards had knocked him down with a billy, and was drag ging him toward a shanty boat on the wharf when he escaped. Itichards had no defense to make. Jerry Williams was pointing a revolver at a man on Smithfield street when Officer Maxwell caught him and prevented him from shooting! Williams tried to beg off on a plea of drunkenness, but got a 30 days' sentence. Charles Sheehan was charged with attacking Adolph Hains in a dark alley in the Eleventh ward. Two others of the attacking party escaped. Sheehan got 30 davs. Uobert Chipman got 30 davs lor throwing a stone into a store on Webster avenue and striking the proprietor. Thomas Gaguc, ot Carpenters alley, got 60 days for abusing his wife. His daughter appeared against him, and the arresting officer testi fied that Gagne had been up on the same charge before. Fines for Southsidcrs. Magistrate Suceop hid a large number of cases at the Twenty-eighth ward station, the majority of hich were of the commonest order. James McGivo and Thomas McCon ly got into a row in a Carson street store and broke a show case. They were fined S2j and costs each. Eouis Laurel was sleep ing in the Lake Erie depot, and when Officer O'Donnell awakened liim he struck the officer in the face. He was fined S5 and costs. James Dalzell was arrested for im morality at the West End car stables Satnr rrday and was held over fur a hearing to day. " ' Was Too Anxious to Fisht. There were but 12 cases at the Twelfth ward police station. John Smart was fined ?25 and costs for striking Prank Burns. Saturday night Burns saw a fight on Penn avenne near Twenty-fifth street. He started toward the place and was about there when Smart came up to him and struck liim. Smart was arrested bv Officer Cole. The other cases were of the usual character. AVhere Morality Holds Sway. Eight cases were tried at the Seventeenth nard nolice station. No interest was at tached to any of them. Sister Citv Hearings. Deputy Mayor McKclvcy conducted the hearings in Allegheny in the absence of Mayor Wyman. There were 30 prisoners. Thomas Shaughnessy, who hit John Hardy on Federal street Saturday night, was fined $10 and costs for disorderly conduct." His partner, Otto Miner, paid a like sum. Harry Gregg was given 30 days to the work house. He had bumped his head on the cell floor when locked up until he became senseless. Reviving in the night he tried to hang himself to the bars of his cell with a suspender, but was cut down by Sergeant Sherry. FrankMcsner was fined $10 and costs for beating his infant child. The ncichbors complained of him. J. L. Mac keral and J. Seiler for fighting on Federal street were given 30 days and CO days re spectively to the workhouse. HIGHWAY BOBBEBS AT W0HK.

She was within CO feet of her house when a man stepped out, caught hold of her wrist and tried to jerk her hand satchel away. She held on and screamed loudly for help. After a short struggle she was overpowered by her assail ant, lint not until he had broken one of the bones of her wrist. Before help cime he had secured the satchel, which contained some SjO in money, two checks, a check book on the Second National Bank and some other small articles. When an officer arrived she was so badly scared she could not tell whether the man was black or white. Mrs. Montgomery is about .j0 years of age. Adler street, though well lighted, is not frequented by mauy people. Operators Still Threaten to Bring Hans. Dispatches from Monongahela last night slated that unless the miners return to work to-day the operators will bring in forcicners. The residents of- the mining districts are mnch alarmed, as they fear the good-natured mood of the miners may change it the foreigners are brought in".

' I.. rT TJUfJKS JS POLITICS. Governor Boies' Bed Booster That is " Popular With the Iowans. BINTS FOR EXPOSITION MAKERS. Senator Washhnrn Says Elaine Will be the Next President. CIIATS WITn PEOPLE WHO TALK WELL As an inventor of political tricks the West comes to the front with a man who -darkens the past history of the sharpest gamester in Eastern politics and challenges the future of all aspirants. The scheme was described by L. A. Bamberger, a Phil adelphia merchant, who stopped at the Seventh Avenue Hotel over Sunday on his way home from a two months' trip through Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota. "In Iowa," he said, "as in Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio close political con tests are in progress and every method is taken by each party to gain a point. The candidates for Governor are Wheeler for the Republicans, and Governor Boies, the Democratic candidate for re-election. The issue of the campaign is prohibition, the Democrats being for the repeal of a law they consider obnoxious, and the Republi cans for sustaining it. While in Dcs Moines Governor Boies was out of the city, and a friend of mine occupied his room. I stopped at the same hotel, and was invited by my friend to go into the Gover nor's quarters. GOVERNOR BOrr.S' RED BOOSTER. "The first thing that attracted my attention when I entered the room was a huge red rocster, the emblem of the Democratic party, on a mantlepiece. I examined it, and the conversation that followed natur ally led ns into polities. My friend ex plained that prohibition was a "failure, that all kinds of intoxicating liquors could be mrchased in everv drug store and that, as le enthusiastically claimed, the Demo crats would be sure victors be cause the people were tired of a law that is a dead letter. 'To show you, said my friend, 'that prohibition does not prohibit I will give you a practical il lustration. We have hefe,' he continued, 'a red rooster, and,' as he touched a button, 'we have here a buffet.' At the same time the rooster's wing flew up and revealed well, as a matter of fact I couldn't have told an hour after what was in it, but there was a lot of it Mid it was as good as any 'Old Monongahela' I ever struck. The red rooster, I was told the next day, is an in vention of the Governor's, who is some thing of a campaign trickster. PROHIBITION- THAT DOESN'T WORK. "I am a Republican, but I must confess that Iowa looks very doubtful. Prohibition is undoubtedly a failure. I was a stranger to almost every one, but I had no trouble whatever in getting all I wanted to drink, and I didn't have to go into back alleys to get ii, cither. The drugstores sell every thing that is kept in licensed barrooms, and make no effort to conceal the fact that they are breaking the law." On his trip Mr. Bamberger stated that he had isitedthe St. Louis and Minneapolis exhibitions, and that he had been at the Pittsburg Exposition Saturday night The latter, he said, had finer exhibits, but not so many of them as the others. At Minneap olisj'he said, they had the Mexican Band, composed of GO Mexican Government officers, dressed in their native costumes. Mr. Bamberger thought the attraction would be a good one for Pittsburg next year, and that there would be no trouble in securing it. Another Western invention that caught Mr. Bamberger's eye was the corn palace at Sioux city, in. xne structure,-lie saw, is as large as tjie Seventh Avenue Hotel, and is composed entirely of corn. The ears are of diflerent colors, and designs on the outside walls represent the Goddess of Liberty, and show the United States flag in bright colors. SEAL ESTATE SALES AT NIGHT. How a Suburban Minister's Roommate Greatly Surprised Him. Owing to the late crowded condition'of the hotel", the boarding houses here come in for a very fair share of transient trade. A suburban minister wiiose salary is not munificent enough to allow him to pay ?5 a day for board took advantage of one of these "furnished rooms" Saturday night. Even this establishment was more than filled with sleepers, and the obsequious landladv "was sorrv thnt he would have to share the bed with another gentleman." The minister saw no alternative, and bade be shown to his room. This was 0 o'clock, lie had never met his to-be-bedfellow, so concluded he would await his coming, in order ton-t disturb or snprise him by being found in his room, lie read and waited. The city clock struck 12. No bed-mate had shown up. Nor had bean hour later. The minister's eves were blinkintr, and ho concluded to retire. He was soon dreaming. The belated bed-fellow came tripping in at 2 A. 3r. He is a real estate agent and was not a whit surprised they never are. He disrobed himself, and soon the snoring was "horse and horse. " The minister was the first to arise, but the real estate man's noc turnal trausactions the night before com pelled him to remain under cover. When the D. D. was met by the landlady she aked him how he rested, upon which he told his experience. "Oh," said she, sur- Jirisedly, "you shouldn't have waited for dm; he's a real estate agent." "A real estate agent? But Heavens on earth they don't don't sell property by moonlight in Pittsburg, do they?" DELIGHTED THS DELEGATES. Pennsylvanians Got All They Wanted at tho Waterways Contention. Captain James A. Henderson has re turned from Evansvillc, Ind., where he at tended the waterways convention. He said yesterday that the entire Pennsylvania delegation was highly pleased with its re ception, and gratified at iceciving every thing it asked for. Many delegations had the congressmen from their districts present with them, and when the resolutions are presented to Congress they will be able to help the cause along. Several cities have been suggested for the next convention, but the matter has been placed in the hands of a committee to make the selection. The exhibition of river appliances was very fine. One thing the Captain mentioned inj articular was a portable dam, which can be used to divert the course of the river over shallow places with such force as to make a fairly good caunel. The dam can then be taken " up and the boat go on its v. av. APIER LARGER PENSIONS. Tho G. A- E. Wants the Government to Snpport Its Destitute Members. Major Morris M. Bell and E. S. Morgan of Mansfield, Pa., together with 12 other Post Commanders of the G. A. R. from dif ferent parts of Western Pennsylvania, re turned yesterday from Washington. Thev were there endeavoring to have the pen sions of the destitute veterans in this end of the State increased so that the various posts will not have to support them. Con cerning the trip Mr. Morgan said: "We examined the records and found that most of the men we are supporting only draw ?C a month. We called on the various pension examiners and also on Acting Com missioner Davidson and were promised thit an endeavor to increase these pensions at' once wonld be made. AVe are now supporting 600 veterans in this locality and the strain is too heavy on the (J. A. R. members." BOOSTING BLAINE'S BOOM. Senator ITaihbarn Predicts His Nomina tion and Election He Doesn't Think Cleveland Will Be the Maine Sinn's Op ponent Issues of the Campaign. Senator Washburn, of Minnesota, went through Pittsburg on the limited last night, on his way home from New York, Wash ington and other Eastern cities. The Sena tor said his business in the East was prin cipally of a political nature, and in the next sentence gave it as his belief that James G. Blaine would be the next Repub lican nominee for President and that he would be elected. THE FARMERS STILL DISSATISFIED. "The dissatisfaction among the farmers last year, which resulted in Republican de feat, still exists to a certain degree, and will make the result of the Presidental election doubtful, unless Blaine is nomin ated. 1 have no definite knowledge that he will accept, but while in the East I talked to many well-known politicians on the sub ject, and they all unite in the opinion that providing his health will allow, he will ac cept. His health, I believe, is good, and I think it will soon come out that he has other reasons outside of illness for remain ing quietly with his family." "Blaine's letter with regard to the Ohio campaign convinces me that he is still in politics, and that he will accept a nomina tion," continued Mr. Washburn. "He is the only man who can capture the Alliance movement in New York, and his nomina tion means the overthrow of the whole organization. Everybody in Minnesota is for Blaine, and only the strongest partisan Democrats would vote against him. "If Blaine is nominated, do you think Cleveland will be his opponent?" "I do not," was the decisive answer. "Cleveland has too many political enemies to be nominated, although I believe he is the choice of the Democrats in the ranks. .N ew York, I think, will go Republican this year, and that will settle both Cleveland's and Hill's chances to become President. Gorman seems to be in the lead, although ostensibly a dark horse. Pattison stands well, and is more than a possibility." ISSUES OF THE CAMPAIGN. "What will be the issues of the Presi dental campaign?" "Tariff, reciprocity and the money ques tion. I think the Democrats are tired of the free silver cry, but they have made it a party issue, and they can't retreat without admitting they made a blunder and afterward swore "by it. Cleveland has sense enough to see that free silver is unpopular, and now Campbell has followed suit. The plank is in their platform, how ever, and Ohio Democrats are beginning to find out that it is a whole drove of white elephants. McKinley is a sure winner in Ohio, and the Republicans are also safe in Iowa." "Who will be the next Speaker of the House?" Mr. Washburn was asked. "Crisp, of Georgia. Mills is too much of a Texas mustang to be trusted by the Dem ocrats," answered the Senator, as he caught the last car of the limited. SENATOR MONAGHAN MARRIED. The SchnylKill County Politician on His Wedding Tour. Senator B. J. Monaghan, of Schuylkill county, was at the Seventh Avenue Hotel, yesterday, with his bride, on their wedding tour. He as married last Wednesday to Miss McEvoy, of Shenandoah. Mr. Monaghan will return to his seat in the Senate next Monday. He is one of the Democratic party's greatest hustlers in the eastern part of the State, and is confident in the success of Wright and Tilden. In speaking of the extra session of the Senate he departed from Democratic custom by saying that he thought the investigation would be com plete and not be whitewashed by Repub licans. Mr. Monaghan was one of the members of the joint investigating committee ap pointed after the failure of the Keystone jianK tuat was aiterwam given authority to investigate the Auditor General's office. He believes that in order to expedite busi ness the Senate should appoint a similar committee and then adjourn until a recom mendation could be made. Mr. Monaghan docs not believe the Senate was called to gether for political effect or that Pattison has any t-.ope of being elected President in 1892. DIDN'T KNOW HIS WIFE'S NAME. Perplexing Situation of a Man Who Had Been Married Eighteen Tears. "Struck thefunniest caseof my life Satur day," said City Physician Hazzard, of Alle gheny, last night. "I am examiner for a life insurance company, and was making an examination of an oil producer livfng on North avenue. He was taking out a policy for $10,000. He wanted to go out of town to-day and was in a hnrry. The policy was in favor of his wife, and when asked to give her name he scratched his head for a while and then muttered, 'Doggnned if I know. I always call her Belle, but then it's larger than that.' "Well, though the man had been married 18 years he had to go home and make his wife write her name out on a card. I can't blame him for not remembering it, though, for her full first name is Anieccabel." Preparing for the World's Fair. Chief Engineer Troyman, of the Pullman Car Company, of Chicago, went through Pittsburg last night on his way to Jfew York. He said that railroad business is dull at present, but that they expect a big increase again in winter. Mr. Troyman con firmed the statement that the capital stock of the Pullman company would be increased and said it was for the purpose of building more cars to be used during the World's Fair. AN INTEBE8TING RELIC, Showing How Slowly News Used to Travel Early in the Century. A relic of war times famous in European history hangs in the office of J. B. Berg stresser, editor of the Jnsumnce World. It is a bulletin, about two feet long and one and one-half feet wide, of pink paper, with the following news printed in heavy-faced type: - The Times for June 22, 1815. Battle of Waterloo. Wclliusrton Dispatches. Canture of 210 Cannon and lion.iparte's Baegage Gallant Conduct of the Black Watch. List of Killed and Wounded. One Penny. Mr. Bergstresser bought the relic and a copy of the London Times of the same date many years ago from a Scotchman who had served under Wellington, and whose friends preserved the first arcounts received in England of that decisive engagement. The bulletin shows how long a time elapsed at that period between the occurrence of an event and its transmittal to the public through the press. In this case seven davs elapsed, the battle of Waterloo being fought June 15. Policemen. Itescued by a Woman. There was an old-fashioned row in Lim erick last night. The principal participant -was Michael Muldoon, who was filled with bad liquor. Officer Shook undertook to arrest him, when the prisoner showed fight. A Mr. Jones tried to take Muldoon away from the officer. At this juncture one of the female residents of the neighborhood went to the officer's assistance, and grasp ing Muldoon by the arm, hustled him aloug to the patrol box. Sergeant Mc Quaide happened along at the time, and they managed with the aid of the woman to land both Muldoon and Jones in the Thirty sixth ward lockup. B.&B. 51 23, 75c, 45c and 10c.

The Owner of the World Disturbs a Con gregation at Worship. SUNDAY HAPPENINGS IN TWO CITIES Fire broke out in Phillips & Co.'s glass works, South Twentieth and Mary streets, about 7 o'clock last night. For a time it looked as though a block of light, frame buildings would be burned, but the response of seven engine companies prevented this. The firm has a plant for manufacturing its own gas, extending from Edwards alley to Josephine street. The fire started there from an explosion of gas. and before it could be checked it destroyed ?5,000 worth of property. An alarm was sent in from box 147, and Chief Stewart on reaching the scene sent in two additional ones. From the regenerating sheds the flames communicated to a two story frame house on Josephine street, used as an office by Phillips & Co. Both build ings were totally destroyed. The upper part of the office building was occupied by Mrs. Mary Hutchinson, a widow with two children. They managed to get out, but were nearly suffocated by smoke, and lost everything but their wearing apparel. The neighborhood is largely built up of frame structures, and for a time it looked as though the flames would spread over the en tire place. Two Pennsylvania Railroad cars of coal and coke, standing on a siding; in the place, were also destroyed. The entire loss will not amount to over f5,000, fuljy cov ered by insurance. During the fire a number of men and women "climbed on the porch of a house across Josephine street to get a good view. The porch being old caved in, carrying its occupants to the ground, ten feet below. No person was hurt, but two women fainted and there was great excitement. A notice able feature of the fire unsthe fact that the water supply was excellent. DESERTED EY THEIR UNCLE. Pitiful Tale Told bj Two Boys in the Alle gheny Lockup. There are two little boys in the Alle gheny lockup, who, according to their own story, were taken to that town by a heart less relative and then abandoned. The boys are James Bennett and Herbert Evans and are 9 years of age. Bennett says that his home is in McKcesport and Evans lives at Beaver Falls. They were picked up by Officer Cochran on Saturday night on the ferry boat William . Thaw. The little fel lows say they are cousins and that last Monday Evans went to McKeesport to visit at the home of Bennett. While there they say their uncle, John Langhart, a teamster, allowed them to get in his wagon and ride to Pittsburg, but when he was ready to start for home again he made them get out of the wagon and re fused to take them home. They sav they loafed around the Manchester mills, and were fed by workmen and kindly women in the neighborhood. Evans says his father works in a glass house at Beaver Falls. Bennett says his father is blind, having had his sight de stroyed by a flash of powder in a battle of the late war, in which he was an Union sol dier. ANOTHER STABBING AFFAIR That May End Seriously for One or the Participants. Peter Trent cut and seriously wounded William Dver yesterdav afternoon on Spruce alley, Twelfth ward. A quarrel over a drink of whisky caused the affair. Both are colored men and employes jof the Black Diamond Steel Works. They are young and unmarried. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon they met on Spruce alley, near Thirty-first street. Dyer had a bottle of 'w hisliy, and when requested by Trent for a drink declined to give him "one. Trent, witli an oath, said he would have a drink. Dyer said, "By you won't," and drew a revolver. He pointed the weapon at Trent and snapped the trigger, but the pis tol did not go off. Trent then wrenched it from Dyer's grasp and stabbed Trent on the left" side with a knife, cut him on both arms, and then fled. Dver went to a doctor's office and was re moved from there in a carriage to his board ing house on Jones avenue, near Twenty sixth street. His wound in the side is a severe one, and if inflammation sets in will probably cause his death. Trent lives on the alley where the affair occurred. He has not been arrested yet, but is well known to the police, and his capture is probable. OWNS THE WHOLE EARTH. Erratic G. Michael Murphy Creates n Scene In the Cathedral. "I am the King of Glory, the owner of the world. Listen to me. That man cannot preach." These words startled the worshipers at the Cathedral yesterday morning, and as G. Michael Murphy stood up in his pew wav ing his arms and declaring his divinity, he was the center of attention. He was in dulging 1b some rather objectionable lan guage in reference to the presiding clergy man. In addition to this, Murphy had taken possession of a pew and refused ad mission to the owner Everybody in the church was shocked, but no one could succeed in quieting the man. As a last resort Officer Nikirk was called in and Murphy was hurried off to Central station, protesting loudly all the way. With an nnbalanced mind and a crazy notion that he owns the world, Mur phy'has several times disturbed the Cathe dral ceremonies, the last time being about three months ago. He will probably be sent to a suitable institution to-day. Great Demand for White Hears aS. The demand for white hearses in the two cities yesterday was almost unprecedented. Every undertaking establishment possessing one had it in use from three to four trips. Several children's rcmaitiB had to be con veyed to the cemeteries in black or adult hearses. Mr. Vogel, of Sampson's under taking establishment, remarked that he neer witnessed such a demand, when the mortality was so small. There is no great prevalence of disease generally noticeable, but the fact that all the white hearses were called out and in constant demand, shows an increased death rate in children. There aie nbout 13 white hearses in the two cities. The dominnat disease is thought to have been diptheria among the children and infants. railed to Find Sleeping Places. When the "Hoss and Hoss" company comes to Pittsburg again it will likely make it a point to get here during a dull season. The members found themselves in a predicament wh.cn they arrived last even ing aud discovered there was no accommo dation for them. All the principal hotels had their rooms occupied or engaged, chiefly by delegates to the various conven tions. Reed & Collier, after great difficult v, secured quarters at the Schlosser, but the others were not so fortunate, and at a late hour last night were tramping the city in all directions, in the rain, in a frantic effort to secure sleeping places.

Officials Who Hold a Coaling Contract Doc tor the Weights. Chicago, Oct. 18. John A. Cella, store keeper of the County Insane Asylum was arrested last night for malfeasance in office in making false entries in the official rec ords. He is said to be one of the thieves who have been systematically robbing Cook county of unknown sums of money. Last June bids were opened from 18 firms to fur nish coal to the institutions. The lowest was that of J. T. Nash & Co., offering to furnish soft coal at ?2 43 a ton so low that it created suspicion. The firm got the con tract, however, and was afterward discov ered to consist of Alderman Daniel O'Brien and J. T. Nash, a sewer builder. They claimed to have control of a mine in the hands of a receiver. Ji has since been dis covered that Storekeeper Cella borrowed the coal weigher's book, ostensibly to trans fer the figures on the ledger, and that he raited the weight on- nearly every car from 2,000 to 1G.000 pounds. In addition to this it is found that the county has been paying for meats and pro visions in much larger quantities than were needed or used, and much of which was unfit for use. An investigation is now being made of the Poor House business. A BEQUEST FOB TROOPS Sent In by the Mayor of Clifton Forge, as Tronble Is Expected by Him. Richmond, Va., Oct. 18.

A sweeping decision, not only against trades union ownership of trademarks, but emphatically against their employing the Bame to stigmatize or injure non-union com petitors, is one handed down by Judge Will iams, and concurred in by the other Su preme Court judges. It is of national in terest and import. Cigarmakers' International, Union No. 12G, of Ephrata, Lancaster county, by bill in equity restrained Cigar Manufacturer John H. Brendle from using the Cigar makers' International Union label on his goods. The Lancaster county court sus tained the master's report in behalf of this injunction. Brendle, a union manufacturer, whohad i some manner incurred the local officials' ill-will and refused to nse their labels, issued similar labels or trade marks of his own, and appealed to the Supreme Court from the injunction. Judge Williams, in refusing for the Su premeCourt to grant this injunction or affirm it, reverses the lower court's decision. First, on the ground that the Cigarmakers' Union, formed for the "mental, moral and physical welfare of its members," is a per sonal and social organization, not a commer cial one, and so, under the law of Congress, cannot own a trademark. Another feature of the decision is its dis cussion of the social claim set forth in terms upon the union cigar label, to the exclusive rignt not only to tne use tbereot, but stig matizing all workmen not permitted to use the trade mark. The label describes the cigars it accompanies as being made by first class workmen, adding that all cigars not having the label are of "inferior, rat-shop, cooley, prison or filthy tenement house workmanship," and has a note, therefore, "recommending these union cigars to all smokers throughout the world." Judge Williams' decision says: This is an attempt to uso the public as a means of coeicion, in order to find a market for their goods or labor. A first-class work man is one who does flrdt-class wort, whether his name is on the rolls of any given society or not. Filthincss and crim inality of character depend o ncondnct, not on membership of the union. Legitimate competition rests on superiority of work manship nnd business methods, not on the use of vulgar epithets and personal denun ciations. The International Union in this case has an avowed purposf to do harm to non-union men; to prevent the salo of their work; to cover them with opprobrium, and they ask a Court of Equity to say they have n right to do it. We declino to say so. Organized a Chapter of St. Andrew. A new chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew was organized last night at Eman uel Episcopal Church, Allegheny and North avenues, Allegheny.
