TAMMABY BADLY BATTLED.
Colonel Culyer Thinks Fassett's Chance
Good to Win in Sew 1 ork.
Colonel Culyer while busily engaged
beautifying Schen'ey park, still finds plenty
of time to devote to New York politics.
The Colonel says the Tammany leaders are
badly rattled, and he thinks Fassett has a
good show to win.
"You have no idea," he remarked yester
day at the Duquesne, "how much interest
the 2Cc.w York people are taking in the
campaign. They are deeply stirred tip, and
for once Tammany is on tne ragged edge. It
is plain thev are "scared when thev are con
stantly changing their plans. They haven't
been able to execute any of their original
intentions. First the people in the northern
part of the State rebelled, and warned them
not to send out on the stump their chosen
100 speakers. Tammany "acquiesced, and
these men remained at home. The Demo
cratic press is not united, and only the other
day a leading organ of the Democracy in
Xew York City showed up in severalcol
umns where outside Democrats were being
colonized. The Republicans are on the
alert, and taking adantage of all these
moves. It is a fight for blood."
GBEGG IN THK CITY.
The General Feels Confident the Republi
can Ticket XVHl lie KIrcteil.
General Gregg, the Republican candidate
for Auditor General, reached Pittsburg yes
terday morning. He held an informal re
ception in City Hall. A number of old
soldiers called on him and were introduced
by Mayor Gourley. The General says he
has been amoni the veter
ans who are enthusiastic, and he
thicks he will be elected. In the
eastern part of the State be heard of no dis
satisfaction in the Republican ranks. He
added that the Republican party wants a
full investigation by the Senate.
In the evening he went to "West Newton
with Captain .Tonn W. Morrison and Con
gressman Dalzell where a meeting was held.
This afternoon the General will meet the
old soldiers at the Duquesne. and in the
evening will address a veterans' mass meet

FOR CHARITY'S SAKE.
.Elaborate Preparations for the Bazaar of
the Turtles' Aid Society or the Southside
Hospital A Magnificently Attired Doll
Memorial to Thomas Armstrong.
The bazaar to begiven by the Ladies' Aid
Society of the Soutliside Hospital during
the week of November 1G was the principal
topic at the meeting of the society yester
day afternoon. Mrs. Dr. Saddler, Chair
man of the Building Committee, reported
having visited a large number of influential
people who had promised to lend the ladies
of the society assistance. Mrs. Saddler
also reported that it had been decided to
start a Thomas A. Armstrong memorial
fund to establish a ward in the hospital to
be named the Armstrong ward. Contribu
tions have already been received and prom
ises of large amounts have been made.
Some members of the societv suggested
that stock certificates, styled after those of
the Garfield memorial lund, be issued Jo j
contnDutors to the hospital. This idea was
first brought out by a number of persons ,
who said thev would be willing to con- !
tribute much more were they given some
thing to show for the work done. This sug
gestion was acted upon yesterd iv, and at
the next regular meeting 200 of these cer
tificates will he ordered and given out to all
who contribute ?j or over. The society was
informed that the Young "Women's Chris
tian Temperance Vnion had promised to
give all the assistance they could at the
bazaar.
Since the last meeting the society has
been presented with a large doll, christened
"Flora McFlimsey." At the bazaar she
will be one of the principalattractions. The
leading dressmakers of Pittsburg, Allgheny,
New York, Philadelphia, Boston and twoor
three European cities have promised to
donate apparel for this doll. The clothes
will all be made in the latest styles, and
will be worth seeing, as the will even in
clude sealskin sacques. A large booth will
be prepared for Miss McFlimsey.
There will be 21) meals given at the bazaar
during the week, and meal tickets will be
issued for all at 52. The corumitte on fancy
work will meet at Mrs.Theodore Schlickers,
on "Wharton street, at 2 o'clock this after
noon. The following committees for the
regular hospital work were appointed yes
terday: Visiting Committee, Mrs. N. J. Lowe, T.
G. .Tones; Fruit Committee, Miss Olive Col
wcll and Miss Nellie "Whitraerc; Jellv Com
mittee, Mrs. Emma llaberman And Miss
Annie Davis, and Flower Committee, Mrs.
William McGeary and Mrs. Fullert.
The floral decorations of the audi'orium
during the bazaarwill be something wonder
ful. The week before the bazaar opens the
annual chrysanthemum exhibition takes
place, and nearly all of the exhibitors at
this show have promised to leave their ex
hibits for the hospital bazaar.

PLANS FOR A-MARKET.
Chief Bigelow Will Replaco the Old
Soutliside Structure
WITH ONE ON THE LATEST STYLE.
The Exposition Clears ALout Fifty Thou
sand Dollars.
SNAP SHOTS AT SISTER CITY MATTERS
Unless the plans of Chief Bigelow, of the
Department of Public Works, are materi
ally altered, the Southside will have a fine
new market house next summer. The
partial destruction of the old building by
fire rendered some move necessary to pro
vide for a standing necessity on that side of
the river. Sonthsiders wanted a new build
ing at once, but this was not feasible,
chiefly owing to a lack of money and the
builders strikes. Chief Bigelow decided
to make a temporary arrangement, and had
a good roof put over the half-demolished
structure. This made suitable quarters ior
a time, but something better is needed, and
the Chief proposes to have it before another
year passes.
"My first idea," said he yesterday-, "was
to repair the old building in good shape. I
had plans prepared for this, but have now
concluded not to use them.
XU31EROUS SEW FEATURES.
"I have visited at my own expense sev
eral market houses in New York, Philadel
phia, Washington and other places, and
have secured some better ideas on the sub
ject than I had before. These cannot be car
ried out in a remodeling of the old building.
and I believe a new one is the best. At
present, having made no extensive esti
mates, I am not prepared to sav exactly
'what such a building will cost.
But at a rough guess it will be about 520,000.
Of course it may be something more or less
than that amount. But whatever the cost
will be I will ask for it in the next appro
priation ordinance, and will then start the
work. My idea is to have the entire build
ing for market purposes. A large hall, such
as the one above the Diamond Market is not
necessary. In fact it would be a poorly
paying affair. On the Southside several
halls are rented for small sums like ?10 or
flo a night. The city cannot charge any
more than others, and the space if applied
to market purposes would yield a much
greater revenue.
"Many valuable improvements have been
made in market houses during recent years,
all of which can be brought into use in this
new bnilding.
"WHERE THE EAST IS ATIEAD.
"For instance, in the East I noticed sev
eral places where the refrigerators or ice
chests for meat are built above the butchers'
stall instead of back of them, as in the
Diamond market. This saves a great
amount of space, and consequently increases
tne maricet revenue Dy allowing tor addi
tional stalls. Aside ironi the advantage to
citizens of the Southside, the city could no
where invest ?20,000tobctteradvantage than
in a new market house over there. It will
yield 100 percent annnallv. The Diamond
market is an
example of this, thoueh the
(TrnilTlfl tT-lnm lirl nft nnet 4Vin n!ionnili!m.
Tne Southsid will have the best market
facilities in either Pittsburg or Allegheny
;f j have mv wav "
Speaking of the Diamond market, the
chief said if he had been allowed to tise the
hall above it for market purposes he could
have secured ?20,000 a year rent from it in
stead of about 51,000 received from it now
as an entertainment halL
HE HAS SPECIAL PSIVIXIGES.
Delinquent Tax Collector Ford Will Still
Send Ont "Postal Cards.
Delinquent Tax Collector Ford will still
send out his final notices to those who are
in arrears for city taxes on postal cards,
lie has this to say about the stand Super
intendent Palmer took on the matter in
yesterday's Dispatch: "When Mr.
Palmer said I had no right to send these
notices through the mails he was not aware
that I had previously secured a decision
from the department allowing me to do
this. Iu 188S several individuals made in
formation against me on the same thing,
but the United States Attorney did not pro
ceed with it. I will continue "to send the
notices this way "
Superintendent Palmer, when told of the
foregoing, had this to say: "I did not know
Mr. Ford had received the privilege from
the department until yesterday morning.
Under ordinary circumstances I would stop
the notices, but as this is a city matter it is
given this privilege. I do not think, how
ever, he has any right to send the cards out
undiscovered, and 1 will stop any of the
kind I find."
MEN SEEKING FOR LODGING.
JL'lenty to Eat in PltUburg, bnt ot Knongh
Itooins at the Hotels.
It grieves the hotel men to turn awav
dollars every day, but that is what they
have been doing for the last month. In
most of the houses yesterdaj- guests were
asked to double up, and many last evening
had to sleep on cots. At the Duquesne it
was impossible to get a room alone. It is
funny to hear a man pleading for a plaee
where he can wash himself, but this is
what a number of street railway men are
doing.
With the present supply of hotels there
is no remedy. At the Anderson they had
several pages of names yesterday afternoon
and not rooms enough to go around. Everv
man must take his turn, and there is a rush
for rooms as soon as they are vacated. For
tunately, Pittsburg is never without an
abundance to eat, and there is some satis
faction in that. Nobody iB going hungry.
There is enough for all."
OVER A THOUSAND A DAY.
The Recent exposition Netted In the Neigh
borhood of S50.000.
The Board of Managers of the Exposition
Society met yesterday to close up the busi
ness of the exhibition that has just closed.
Many ot the bills were paid, and figuring up
all the others that w ill come in the society
will still clear from 545,000 to $30,000. The
amount cleared last year was 562,000. The
net earnings f r 1889 were 539,000.
A large majority of the exhibits in the
main hall of the Exposition have been re
moved, and the place has a deserted air.
Yery few of the art exhibits have been
taken away, but will be soon. There is no
clew to the missing tapestry pictures of A.
G. Koegnik & Co.
Trying to Sell a Fine Cane.
Detective McTighe last night arrested
Thomas Hafferty and Hugh Bagnall as sus
picions .characters. He found them on
Smithfleld street trying to sell a fine gold
headed cane. It bore the inscription:
" Presented by O. C. Geunther to Major H.
Hoffstadl, May 13, 18S9." The men will be
held until their case is investigated.

Capuchin Monks In Session.
The annual conference of German Cath
olic Capuchin Monks of the United States
began yesterday in St. Augustine Church,
Lawrenceville. The church was beauti
fully decorated, and every conceivable ar-
rangement was made by the ladies of the
congregation for the entertainment of the
guests. About SO delegates arrived, but
by this morning it is expected that a iargcr
number will be in attendance. The entire
time of yesterday was taken up in the en
rollment of delegates and in the transaction
of private business pertaining to the gov
ernment of the order. The session this
morning will be devoted to more important
business. The sessions of the conference
are closed and the proceedings conducted in
German.
0PEKIHQ OF THE IT. P. SYNOD.
Rev. Dr.
Held's Case to Be the Special
Feature.
The "Western Pennsylvania Synod of the
United Presbyterian Church met in the
Sixth United Presbyterian Church, Collins
avenue, last night. The district was well
represented. But little business was trans
acted, the greater part of the evening being
taken up with devotional exercises and the
assigning of delegates. The most interest
ing feature of this Synod will be the hear
ing of Rev. Dr. Reid, who married Rev.
Dr. Ewing, who was charged with marrying
the sister of his deceased wife, thus violat
ing a rule of the Church. It is not known
.just when this case will be brought up, but
it may possibly be to-morrow. Clerk John
S. Speer, of the Synod, has this to
say about the case: "The matter
was 'first brought up in Presbytery, and it
was there decided Dr. Ewinjr "should be re
proved and Dr. Reid admonished. An ap
peal was taken to the Synod, and the appeal
was sustained. Then the matter was ap
pealed to the General Assembly, but the
case was afterward withdrawn from this
body. This leaves it with the Synod.
"When it comes up it will probably be re
ferred back to the Assembly and it will in
flict the punishment first agreed upon.
More interest would be attached to this
case had not Rev.. Dr. Ewing transferred
his services to the Presbyterian Church
while the case was pending."

MAIL MEN IS CONFERENCE.
Frovislon Made for Handling the Increase
In Eastern Postal Matter.
Superintendents of the Railway Mail Ser
vice R. C. Jackson, of New York; Burt, of
Cincinnati, and several of the chief clerks
held a. conference at the postoffice yes
terday relative to the loadingand unloading
of the mails in Philadelphia and New
York. Mr. Burt said they met here, be
cause Pittsburgh is common ground, and
much of flie mail in bulk to Western points
is split up in this city and sent out over
the various roads. Some details had to be
arranged to provide for the increase in
business, which is from 10 to 15 per cent
yearly. No radical changes were made.
Within the last month a new mail train has
been put on to run along the Ohio river,
leaving here at 5:30 in the morning. The
additional service is much appreciated by
the people living in East Liverpool, Wells
ville and other river towns. The first train
out was at 7:15 a. m., which is still run.
The new facilities enable the people in
these places to get their mails and papers
several hours earlier.
"I like the arrangement of the new office
very much," said Mr. Burt. "It is like the
Louisville postoffice, which will soon be
ready for occupancy. The finest Govern
ment building in the United States is in
Cincinnati, the next one is in Philadelphia,
and I think the Pittsburg office is third.
One thing I notice about the new office is
the abundance of clocks. You can't look
up without seeing a timepiece hanging on
the wall, I suppose Uncle Sam provided
some new clocks, and the old ones were
also put up."
Mr. Jackson said things were moving
smoothly in New York, and there was
nothing particularly new there in the
service. Both men complimented Post
master McKean for his energy and the in
terest he takes in the office. Mr. Burt is
inclined to think with many others that
McKinley will have a walkover in Ohio.
REUNION OF A CLASS.
Members of the Kentucky University Greet
Each Other in Pittnburg.
Twenty-seven members of one of the
classes of the Kentucky University, Lex
ington, held a reunion at the Seventh Ave
nue Hotel yesterday afternoon. They
came from Maine to Utak In the list were
R. T. Matthews, Lexington; F. M. Rains,
Utah; J. J. Irvine, Birmingham, Ala.; C.
W. Dick, Louisville, and J." C. B. Stevens
and wife, of Uniontown.
The meeting was held very quietlv and
was short. When it was over they liad a
banquet and dispersed. Last evening not
one of them could be located, and if they
had been swallowed up by an earthquake
they could not have disappeared more com
pletely. The hotel clerks knew nothing of
what had been done, and no information
could be gathered.
REVENUE AGENTS HERE.
Culbertson and Eastman Working a Clud,
but They Won't Talk.
Samuel T. Culbertson, of Maryland, and
Alrah Eastman, of Minnesota, are registered
at the St. Charles. They are United States
revenue'agents, Mr. Culbertson being chief
of the bureau. They don't come to the city
for fun, and the I 'st time Culbertson was
here he caught the olemararine sellers
napping. Neither of them would say
yesterday what they were doing in the city,
but something will likely drop in a short
time.
A card was sent to their rooms, but they
sent back word with the boy that they were
not at home to reporters. Culbertson is the
man who had mucli to do in breaking up the
Chicago whisky trust.
Something Without Charge.
If vou are suffering from some lingering
or long-standing complaint which refuses to
yield to treatment, why do you not consult
the skilful and eminent Dr. Greene, of 35
W. Fourteenth street, New York, by let

remedy, Dr. Greene's Nervura, and is a spe
cialist in the cure of all forms of nervous
and chronic diseases. He devotes special
attention to the treatment of patients at a
distance through letter correspondence, and
his success in restoring even the worst and
apparently incurable cases to health with
his harmless vegetable remedies is marvel
ous. Write him a description of your case and
he will return a carefully considered an
swer fully explaining your disease and giv
ing you a perfect understanding of all its
symptoms free of expense. It will, there
fore, cost you nothing to consult him, and
there is almost a positive assurance of be
ing cued as thousands of others have been.

Secretary A. McLean reported progress
of work in China, Japan, India, Turkey,
Denmark, Sweden, Norway and England.
The report closed with an appeal for funds.
The meeting concluded with a talk from
Tozo Ohno.
FELT THE TIGHT MONET MARKET.
Beading of reports took up the afternoon.
The first was that of the General Board and
was read by Secretary Moffatt. It stated
t he missions during the year had shared the
effects of a general depression in commer
cial circles until the harvest was over.
Some of the missions had to contend
with unreasonable men whose concep
tion of chujeh work and church
growth was a hindrance. This was particu
larly the case in some parts of the West and
it took time and gentleness to reduce such
men to the ranks. Generally speaking the
condition and outlook of the mission fields
were hopeful. New missions had been es
tablished during the year in many of the
towns in the West and South. The result
of the missionary work was tabulated as
follows: Number of missionaries and
agents Gl; number of days' laborl5,796;num
ber of sermonsand addresses, 7,800; number of
conversions, 1,287; number of accessions by
letter, 911; number of other accessions, 548;
number of cfinrches visited and assisted, 181;
number of churches organized, 26.
The amount ef money collected dnringthe
year was: For the missionary fund, $21,
459 25; from the mission fields, 515,661 21;
for ministerial relief fund, 51; from interest
on missionary fund loan, 570 60. Total,
537,413 43. The disbursements were as fol
lows: For support of missionaries,533,373 16;
salary of Corresponding Secretary, 52,000;
incidental expenses, 5587 59; Missionary
Intelligencer, 432 82; Foreign Christian
Missionary Society, $202 G8; Southern
Christian Institute, 5100; for ministerial
relief, 51G0; total 537.03G 25, leaving a bal
ance of 57 18.
"WORK DONE BY MISSIONARIES.
The report showed the number of pastors
and evangelists employed in the church to
be 300; number of conversions, 8,997; num
ber of places where meetings were held,
1,130; number ,of ney aud unorganized
places visited, 283; number of churches
organized 143, number of Sunday schools
organized 206; amount raised by State
boards , 577,816; amount raised by .district
boards, 554,714; amount contributed by
mission stations, 544,512 50; pledges for
local and future work, 5140,193.
The report concluded with the suggestion
that missionaries and pastors should be
sent to New Mexico, where none now exist.
The year is closed with a debt of 51,300 and
the board asks for 550,000 for the next fiscal
year. It was also suggested that name be
changed from General Christain Missionary
Convention to American Christain Mission
ary Society. This suggestion was met with
applause.
Secretary Muckle read the report of the
Church Extension Fund Comtuitttee. The
report showed the receipts during the year
to have been 518,289 55; and the total re
sources at present arc 5105,413 73. The
amount derived from loans during the vear
w as $27,300. This fund was started in 1883,
under the auspices of the General Conven
tion. It grew in value and importance un
til three years ago, when n separate board
was organized and located in Kansas City.
Secretary Louis read the report of the
Committee on Negro Evangelization. This
committee has only been organized for a
year, and their record for the year has
practically been a failure, owing to the fact
that a competent man to do the work could
not be secured. The first great need in this
work was education, as the trouble with a
great many colored preachers is their ignor
ance. What must be done is to provide
means for the. education of young colored
men for the ministry.
NEED A COLLEGE FOR COLORED MEN.
There should be at least one first-class,
well equipped college, and then there
should be a general work carried on. There
is no educational field where the expenses
would be less than among the negroes.
The evening session opened with an ad
dress by Robert Graham, President of the
College of the Bible, of Lexington, Ky.
His subject was the "Sources of Missionary
Enthusiasm." Mr. Graham began his mis
sionary labors in Allegheny City 53 years
ago. He said there was not enough money
given to the cause, and if there was that
given in proportion to what was spent for
other purposes there would be greater prose
cution of the work. He cited some statistics
to show the enormous differences and said
the countries of Europe spent 52,600,000,000
annually to maintain standing armies.
Ten millions were spent in drink, millions
more for jewelry and other luxuries, while
in all Europe and the United States but
512,000,000 were given to missions.
At the close of the address the annual
committee of conference was appointed.
The committee is composed of A. M. Atkin
son, of Indiana; J. H. Garrison, of Mis
souri; John S. House, of Ken ucky; F. M.
Rains, of Kansas, and W. F. Richardson,
of Allegheny City, minister of the church
where the conference is being held. The
meeting then adjourned. This morning a
praise service will begin the day and c in
tinue for two hours At 11 o'clock tDr. F.
E. Miegs, a returned missionary, will speak
on China missions. At 4 o'clock Dr. F. E.
Clark, President of the Christian Endeavor
Societies, will deliver an address. Dr.
Clark is called "Father Endeavor," and is
the founder of the Christian Endeavor
movement.
The Fates Were Against Him.
C. F. Nieman, an Allegheny butcher, was
arrested on East street, Allegheny, last
night under peculiar circumstances. Mr.
Nieman was driving a number of cattle
along the street, and just as an electric car
passed 4y, one of the animals became
stubborn aud refused to move. Mr. Nieman
struck the beast with a stick he carried,
but the stick flew from his hand and in its
flight passed through one of the car
windows. The conductor of the car called
an officer and insisted upon Nieman's
arrest, .notwithstanding his offer to pay for
the damage resulting from the accident At
the Mayor's office Mr. Nieman left a deposit
for nis appearance tnis morning.
MONEY SLOW IN THE WEST.
Mr. Barclay Says tho People Are Recovering
From the Recent Panic
Among the arrivals of street railway men
yesterday was J. L. Barclay, the Western
agent of the Westlnghouse Company. Mr.
Barclay says the affairs of the local concern
are now on a good footing, and all the em
ployes are feeling better. The company has
money and men to carry on the business
and turn out material.
Speaking of street railway affairs he said:
"The business has been dull in the West
for some time. Money is scarce. Strange
to say the financial panic you had in the
East last fall did not strike the Western
people until this summer. They are not
hard up; that is, they have enough money
to see them through nicely, but the
railway men haven't funds cnongh to
engage in new enterprises or make exten
sions. Real estate transactions, of course,
have also been a little slow. At present
the Western hankers arc holding the money
or keeping it to buy grain. Wfiat wonder
ful crops we have liad this year, and the
good harvest ought to do much to restore
confidence. This is not so easily done after
capitalists have 'had a scare, anil they are
very cautious now. The other day "I met
a prominent Western man in New York
who was there to raise money. He said
he had had a very difficult time, and the
moneyed men are chary of even the best of
bonds. There is plenty of money, but those
who have it are holding on for further de
velopments. Many buyers of street rail
way supplies have been holding off for this
convention. Here they will have an op
portunity to see all the new things and
make comparisons. It has been my ex
perience that a good many orders are taken
during and immediately after one of these
meetings. I expect to see the business en
joy a short boom in consequence."
A PREACHER-BANKER.
He Fills a Responsible Position Ontslde of
His Pulpit.
Rev. John S- Speer, of Canonsburg,
Washington county, who is attending the
Western Pennsylvania Synod of the United
Presbyterian Church, now in session in the
East End, is a "preacher-banker."
Last spring the citizens of Canons
burg formed a bank, and looked around for
a responsible cashier. About this time, for
some reason, Rev. John S. Speer gave up
his regular chargp, and prepared to lead a
retired life. His hopes in this direction
were short-lived, as the bank officials asked
him to accept the cashiership. He did so,
and has Bince held the position very credit
ably. It is not an uncommon thing for him,
however, to relieve his brother divines, and
nearly every Sunday his familiar form is
seen in one of the Canonsburg pulpits.
DD3D IN THE HARNESS.
A Horse of No. 13 Company Expires Upon
Returning From a Fire.
The members of No. 12 Engine Company
are mourning the loss of a favorite horse.
The animal was known as Frank and was
very intelligent, having been in the de
partment for nearly six years. About 1:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon, while the
truck was being backed into the house after
answering an alarm from box 146, the horse
slipped to the pavement and fell, bursting
a blood vessel. It staggered to its feet, but
fell again and expired almost instantly.
When the fallmaster arrived to remove
the carcass there was another animal in the
vehicle, so that it was impossible to get it
into the wagon without breaking its legs,
which was done with an ax from the truck
it had so often responded with to scenes of
danger, while the members stood around
with tears in their eyes watching the mu
tilation of their old comrade.
Sandbagged and Robbed.
James Melrose, foreman of the erecting
department at the Keystone Bridge AVorks,
was sandbagged and robbed at 5:30 o'clock
yesterday morning. He was on his way to
the works, and was passing through the
grounds at St. Francis Hospital, when
two men jnmpcd out and knocked him
down. When found at 7 o'clock he was
still unconscious and minus his watch and
516. His condition is not scrions. The
men escaped.
