THE "PITTSBURG-" DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1891.
FINAL PLAY TO-DAY.
Striking lliucrs Determined to Have
an Understanding
WITH THEIR EXECUTIVE BOARD.
Contracts Are Teing Filled by Mines In
Other Districts.
INDUSTRIAL MATTERS OF YESTERDAY
The miners will to-day consider the
proposition of playing their highest trump
card. A meeting of about 2,000 strikers
on the Baltimore and Ohio, and Pittsburg,
McKeesport and Yougliiogheny Railroads
Mill be held at Scott Haven. They will
discuss the proposition of calling a conven
tion of the district to have a definite under
standing writh the National Executive Board
as to what measures shall be adopted in the
future with regard to places in other dis
tricts filling lailrond contracts, and also to
j-ee w hat money shall he given the striking
miners. The meeting will be addressed by
by District President Costeilo and Xational
President Itae.

The Irwin miners have so far rcfued to

question of asking Irwin to come out will
l.e discussed, but the matter of
bringing them out will be far
more difiicult. Irwin's recollection
of a year's h.trd tniirglp ignominiously
lost last Mav is a lesson to them that has
takn the shape of fear. The suffering at
Irwin during that year and the effect on tue
town w.is a subject for pitv throughout the
country, and nothing but intense loyalty to
their brethren now asking for more "pay will
induce th-m to again drop their work.

gines with coal, and if they
persisl iujdoing so, the miners will proba
bly be asked to strike. The meeting to-day
will decide whether a general demand is
wanted or whether the strike shall be con
tinued as at present.
An unforeseen dancer was discovered yes
terdaj by President Costeilo, when it was
learned that the miners at Snouden, on the
"Wheeling branch of the Baltimore and Ohio,
w ere w avcring, because about 30 foreigners
were brought in and would be put to work
to-day. The regular men at that place are
Germans and are not as determined in
their demands as the English. The
foreigners w ere brought in quietly. "When
1'resident Costeilo learned of themoehe
sent two men to Snowden to keep the Ger
mans from going in.
SNOWDEN A DANGEHOUS POINT.
The danger to the strikers in case Snowden
resumes lies in the fact that the mines there
compete with theminesofHenryFloershein
at rinleyulle. Mr. Floershe'in was the
first man to grant the advance, but in case
the Snow den miners go to work at 79 cents
he has served notice that he will have to
fall hack to the old price- The other mines
that have granted S9 cents would probably
follow suit, and thus the strikers would
!oe all the ground they have won.
President Ccstello says he is confident
the Snowden miners will not go in at the
old price. He thinks the meeting at Scott
Haven will inspire confidence in the move
ment, and means will be devised to insure
victory. He intimated that the strike
might become more general, but said he
could not make a positive statement until
after the meeting to-jav.
MEN AKE GEO WING DESPERATE.
In the vicinity of Monongahela City there
is not much fear of a break among the
miners. From unauthentic sources, how
e er, it is learned the miners in the Scott
mine would break if any did. This is the
diiection taken by the supposed workmen
last night, who may have frightened the
men back. The men in Molesberger mine
at Webster are becoming desperate. They
form two parties, and go to the two depots
at "Webster and North Webster on the ar
rival of all trains, and yell and shout,
frightening passengers.
Mr. Molesberger is called Vanderbilt,
and they call to the train hands: "Bring
us Vanderbilt" They have called in a
body on Mrs. Molesberger, but she refused
to see the men. This only the more infur
iated them and they threatened to burn the
tipple, and told Mrs. Molesberger they
would burn her house. She has gone to
her mother's home. The men are discuss
ing wild plans, and threaten to sell the live
Etock and the mine tools. There is no
doubt that they are desperately in need of
money.
QUIETED Br A SUPPOSED SHERIFF.
A man believed to be the Sheriff of West
moreland county visited Webster yesterday
afternoon and had a long talk with some of
the miners and with the Molesberger fam
ily. His appearance on the scene had a
quieting effect on the men. There will
likely be some definite action taken by the
men to-day.
At West Newton the miners at Scotts
No 2 mine resumed work yesterday at the
old price, 80 cents per ton. Their action
has created some excitement, and there is
ciery probability iheir steps will be fol
lowed by other miners in this district un
less some means are adopted to quell the
evident dissatisfaction. The miners of the
distriet have been called to a great mass
meeting this morning. It is said by some
of the men that this is but the beginning of
the end of the strike in that district at least,
as they feel greatly aggrieved at the treat
ment they have received at the hands of
their leaders.
A great many of the striking Pittsburg
miners are securing employment in the
Hocking valley. It has been arranged to
care for 100 in the mines of the Standard
Coal Company, along the Shawnee and
Hockmo and Muskingum Valley roads.
The Lumber Dealer's Harvest
The McDonald oil field is a benefit to the
lumber dealers. The men in this business
t-ay more lumber is being used in this field
than eer in any other oil producing sec
tion. Seeley & Garrison, the wholesale
lumber merchants of Pittsburg, have a large
corner on this trade, and it is not an un
usual thing for them to receive an order for
20 and 30 carload lots. This firm is now
furnishing the lumber for the 50 houses
which are being erected in the new coal
field near Findley, on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. To build these houses it will
take over a half million feet of lumber.
Annual Meeting of the Typotheue.
Joseph Eichboum and Cbales and Percv
F. Smith have gone to the convention of the
Typotheta;, in Cincinnati. It is reported
that the Pittsburg strike will be one of the
chief questions discussed in the convention,
and that the convention was called for this
purpose. One of the Pittsburg employers
denied this yesterday, as the convention
was called one year ago. At that time the
Pittsburg Typotheta? was not organized and
it only joined the national organization last
Saturday.
Meeting of the Engineers' Society.

Trcljlit Kates on Structural and Bridge
Iron to be Reduced.
A reduction in the freight rates on struct
ural and bridge iron is announced to take
place on the 26th. It will be good news to
the local manufacturers of this variety of
iron. Instead of taking a fifth class tariff
it will be advanced to the sixth, which is
several cents lower. Freight rates have
been maintained lemarkably well all fall.
Agents in commenting on the steadiness of
the tariffs say the western associations meet,
hold a love feast and adjourn.
A number of commercial agents for West
ern lines were in the city yesterday drum
ming up traffic They complain of dullness,
hut they think they see hopeful signs in the
near future The boys are afraid the busi
ness will come like anavalauche when they
are not prepared to handle it. One montji
it is feast with them, and in the next one it
is famine.
The aicnts of the initial lines report the
traffic as brisk, but some are growling about
a scat city of box and stock cars. There are
plentv of gondolas to handle the coal trade.
The Erie system could use more box cars if
they had them. The Pennsylvania Com
pany is better off than the other roads, but
at present they are not blessed with an
abundance of grain cars. The Baltimore
and Ohio road has the bulk of its rolling
stock engaged in moving the crops.
A SUBSTITUTE FOE PLASTER.
Pittsburg to Get Another Important Indus
try Soon.
Mackolite, a substitute for plaster and
lath, is to be introduced into the use of
house builders in Pittshurg. A company of
Pittsburgers, with C. E. Armstrong as pres
ident, and E. S. P.Wright as general mana
ger, has been formed.
They will locate a plant at Smallman and
Twenty-eighth streets and begin its manu
facture at once. They will employ any
where from 75 to 150 men.
Mackolite can be used for covering walls
or for fire proof purposes. It is made in
boards 4 feet long, 13Ji" inches wide and
about 1 inch thick. These boards can be
nailed just the same as though they were
pine. After they are put on one coat of
whiting is all that is needed to. make the
wall just the same as though it were plas
tered in the old way. Tne cost too is but
verv little in excess of the old system.
The mackolite industry was born in Ger
many and only introduced in Americaabout
three ears ago. It was first taken up by
New York parties and the patents secured.
They manufactured it quite successfully,
and afterward started a plant in Chicago.
The compositions used in its manufacture
arc plaster of paris, ground cork, manilla
fiber and reeds.
Some Good Contracts.
The licechburg Foundry and Machine
Company has secured the contiact for fitting
the Pittsburg Tin Plate Company's works at
Kensington with two stands of 18-inch cold
rolls. It will also put in four plate glass
machines for the Brownsville Plate Glass
Company, which will locate at Kensington.
A 28-ton fly-wheel for the Cannonsburg
Iron and Steel Company is now in course of
construction at this company's works.
A Big Bush of Orders.
The new tin plate mill at Woods' Bun is
being rushed with orders. As soon as the
workmen fully understand the work the
mill will be put on double turn.
BICYCLES FOB C0UBIEKS.
The Military rtllity of the Wheel to Be
Tested In Another Capacity.
New Yoke, Oct. 20. The use of the bi
cycle for military purposes has been widely
discussed and thought very favorable of in
various countries. There will be a prac
tical test of the utility of the wheel as a
courier on Saturday, October 31. In the
event of the bicycle being adopted by the
militia to facilitate the carrying of dis
patches, etc., a test of its qualifications to
supersede the horse must be made. With
this idea in view a relay race is being ar
ranged to demonstrate the practicability of
utilizing the wheel as an adjunct to the
army equipment.
The mode of demonstrating the usefulness
of the wheel will be the carrying of a sealed
letter from the office of the American Cydist,
in Hartford, to the uptown &moffice,inthis
city. It is proposed that two of the Hart
ford Wheel Club's fastest racers shall leave
Hartford at 7 o'clock A. M., on Saturday,
October 31. In their possession will be a
missive to be delivered at the Sun office.
These men will ride to New Haven with all
possible speed, where they will be met by
two of the New Haven Club racers. The
letter will be transferred to them without
delay,and they will ride with it intoBridge
port, where it will be received "by two of
the Bridgeport Club racers. The Bridgeport
men will take the letter to Stamford, from
whence it will be carried into Westchester
county, and on to Tarrytown, by one of the
speediest racers in the country, viz., Will
iam Van Wagoner. At Tarrvtow n C. M.
Murphy, of the N. Y. A. C., will re
ceive the dispatch, and it will be taken by
him to Yonkers, where he will be met bv
W. F. Murphy, one of America's champion
racers. He will carry the letter direct to
the Sun office. The distance from Hartford
to the city is about 125 miles.
Lost a Bifle Range.
The rifle range of Company

Sinn farm.
just above McKeesport, has been rendered
useless bv the opening of a public road
through it. As the season will close the
last of this month it will cripple the com
pany somewhat unless all the members
have qualified. Company I is the only one
in the regiment that has had its full
strength qualified for the past three years.
"Workmen In a Wrangle.
Charles Martin and Edward Whalen,
bricklayers on the Germania Bank build
ing, got into a fight yesterday, during
which Martin knocked Whalen down and
btoke his jaw. The latter made informa
tion against his assailant before Alderman
McKenna. Detective McTighe arrested
Martin, who was committed to jail to await
court trial.
A Mayor and City Council Jailed.
Louisville, Oct. 20. Judge Loney sent
Mayor Al Berry and the City Council of
Newport to jail to-day for refusing to obey
the order of Court to use the lights furnished
by the Newport Gas Company, per a de

DEMANDS OF STBKKT RAILWAY GO'S
"VEATIOJf DELEGATED
Interesting Interview With One of Them
What His Company Wanted and Where
It Was Found A Boad That Is Sow
I'erfectly Equipped.
When the Western express steamed into
the Union station last evening an unusually
large number of passengers alighted from the
cars. Calling to mind the fact that there is
a convention of street railway men to be
held here, it was not very difficult to guess
that the majority of these travelers were
delegates to this convention.
"Where do we find the Monongahela
House?" was the question plied by most of
the visitors to the employes around the
depot. One of them, a tall, broad
shouldered, energetic looking gentleman,
whose eye beamed with that keen, shrewd
sign of the successful business man, ap
proached the reporter.
"Young man," he said, "please be kind
enough to direct me to the Duquesne Hotel,
will you?" As the hotel happened to be
the destination of the writer, the stranger
was informed of this, and both were soon
walking toward Smithfield street. The
topic of conversation naturally became the
pending convention.
"I have heard a great deal of your city,"
began the gentleman, "and wliile 1 1 ave
often passed through I have never had the
opportunitv to stop off here, I have always
regretted this, and when our association de
cided to hold its next meeting here I made
up mv mind that I would not miss it. I
have lieen in the street railway business for
over 25 years. At that time, it was soon
after the war, we started a small road in
our town, laid down the tracks, bought
halt a dozen second-lianu cars, hitched some
old mules to them.and the road was ready.
It was a fine street railway, as you may im
agine. Still, we paid expenses,and we hoped to
improve as we went along. Thus things
jogged along until the first schemes of
rapid transit were launched upon the public
I tried them alL Our town had grown, we
were enterprising, and thought we ought to
have the best in the market. I went
through the country and investigated all
the electric systems Known up to that date.
I looked into the cable svstem and ex
amined it thoroughly. I tell you when I
was through with that trip 1 knew more
about the street railway tmsiness than I
had evc known, but I had also learned
that the time for rapid transit had not come
yet There was not an electric svstem. as
.far as I could see, that was either more safe
or more profitable than the old horse car
line. Ot course, the cars would run faster;
that is, if they ran at all, but that unfortu
nately was no't often. There seemed to be
always something wrong about the opera
tion of those motors before a trip was
completed. Thus I concluded to go back
home and wait for fnrthej: developments.
"I had arrived in Chicago when, on pick
ing up a paper, I read that the Westing
honse Electric and Manufacturing Company,
of Pittsburg, Pa., had brought out a new
system of elecric rapid transit. I also read
that the first road nad been equipped by
that system in Lansing, Mich. Well, I had
heard a good deal about the mechanical
genius of Mr. Westinghouse, about his in
vention of the airbrake, and I determined to
investigate his system before I went home.
So I took the train for Lansing and called
upon tne resident ot the road operating
the Westinghouse system He immediately
took me over the road. I rode with him
over the line, and the noiselessness of the
operation of the cars was the first thing I
observed, because the usual scraping and
grating noise of the ordinary motor had
almost become a nightmare to me. Then the
President of the Lansing road took me to
the power house and gave me an insight
into the details of the Westinghouse equip
ment. He ordered one of his men to bring
a car into the shed, and, pulling the body of
the car from the truck, he laid the motors
open before me to give me a tlrorough op
portunity of examining them in every de
tail. Well, stranger, I was apprenticed
with a mechanic, .and it did not take me
long to form an idea of that motor. I
realized at once that the construction had
all the elements of solidity, durability and
simplicity, there was not a superfluous bolt
or nut or sere w anyw here. That is the first
electric street rail way motorthatdeserves its
name said I, and I knew then that I had at
last found what I wanted.
"Well, I got home, and, after telling my
associates the result of my investigation,
we decided to give the Westinghouse motor
a trial. In less than six months our road
was operated by the Westinghouse electric
street railway system, and you bet it was a
great day in our town. Since then, of
course, the Westinghouse Company has
brought out a number of improvements. I
hear that they are now manufacturing the
only gearless motor in the market, and that
they are constructing 250 H. P. generators
and ouu a. if. generators that are pro
nounced by electricians and mechanical ex
perts to be the finest machines manufac
tured in the electrical industry of
to-day. However, to go back to
my story. When the Westinghouse
Company eliminated half the number of
gear wheels, and brought out the single re
duction multipolar system, our company
immediately entered the van of progress.
We are now operating a number of these
motors, and I assert, without fear of con
tradiction, that for a road with lots of high
hills and many curves the Westinghouse
single reduction motor is the embodiment
of the most perfect elements of modem
rapid transit. I know what I am talking
about, because I have tried all systems, and
you Pittsburgers have every reason to be
proud of the company that manufactures
such a system as the Westinghouse.
"Our road is now running much cheaper
than when we operated it with mules, our
traffic has increased and our dividends are
growing every quarter.
"That, my boy, is the reason I have
always been anxious to come to this city,
because I want to go and see the works
where these motors are turned out. That's
why I think the association did a great
thing when they decided to hold this con
vention here, because street car men will
now have the greatest opportunity of their
lives to find out where the best electric,
Etreet car system is made."
Mad Never been Dicycles.
A couple of Pittsburg boys have just re
turned from a bicycle trip through the
mountains of Central Virginia. For two
days they traveled through a country where
the majority of the people ha e never seen a
bicycle, and where about the only evidence
of civilization to be found was a box of
Marvin's Eagle Butter Crackers, w hich the
proprietor of one of the back woods hotels
proudly displayed.
"We have to drive 24 miles to the railroad
station to get 'em," he said, "but I'd go after
'em if the distance was 50 miles."
That man couldn't locate Pittsburg on the
map, but he knew a good thing when he saw
it If you don't believe it, try some of
Marvin's Eagle Butter Crackers yourself,
and see. Your grocer keeps them, twfsu

TOILET HINTS.
A clear complexion Is tha result of good
health not of cosmetics.
Cosmetics can be used in moderation to ad
vantage, but they are never so perfect as the
bloom which good health Imparts.
A clear complexion is usually the result of
good circulation, and good circulation is the
steady flow of the blood through the system.
Whentlio blood is sluggish and the mind
depressed nothing is so beneficial as a pure
medicinal stimulant, and nothing so thor
oughly stimulates the circulation or keeps it
niegular and perfect orderas pure whiskey.
While there aro many so-called whiskeys,
there Is only one that is admitted to be a
purely medicinal one; namely, Duffy's Pure
Malt.
Druggists and grocers may try to argue to
the contrary because they make more money
on cheap and inferior goods, but it is always
best to boar in mind that the one which has
been tested, tried and proven by experience
is ine only curtain one. ocib-WED
