WHAT DB.KEELEYNOTICEDABKOAD A Prnmmer's Fine Penmanship Helps Him OntofaDifficaltj. BATTLE BETWEEN A TOG AND A HOESE Setting in the smoking room of Major Samuel Moore's pleasant home on Fifth avenue list m'sl't was Dr. Leslie E. Keeley, the rcnowTicd discoverer of the bi-chloride of gold treatment, the wonderful cure for perni'noui habits of alcoholism, tobacco, morphine aid arsenic. He leisurely puffed a Perfecto cigir while being interviewed br Tnr. Dispatch re'porter. He is just after returning trom a three months trip through England and the continent. D. L. "Wilson, tonncrly cashier of the New York Sun, was his companion, and who now accompanies the eminent gentleman. The Doctor's observations were verv ffen eral in the countries of Germany, Holland, France, Ueleium, Austria, Hungary, Italy and Great Britain. The special object of his visit was to study the liquor habit on the other side, besides taking advantage of a much needed rest He said: "Idiu not confine myself to Great Britain, but was principally on the continent, where I had every faciliy to study the liquor habit. The "drinking in Belgium is largely kept down by governmental force, except in Brus sellsan'd Antwerp, where it is very prevalent. I s Aculnsi Drunkenness. "In Holland I found many bibulous peo ple. As tor Germanr, it was not so pro nounced, fo the reason that strong Juws have been made against drunkenness, and are beinc continually fortified by amend ments. In Austria only a lew men can af ford to drink, because cf the poverty exist ing among its people. There I saw a large number ot intoxicated women on the streets. The scarcity of men, who arc compelled to go to the army, throws the work upon the weaker sex "it is a common occurrence to see them laying brick and carrying the hod, and in many parts of Germany they work on the streets alongside of men. In Italy there was no perceptible drunkenness, because alcoholic spirits are out of reach. Light wines are plentiful, and indeed I look upon them as a preventative of alcoholic drink in?. "In France, absinthe is the drink and a more pernicious draught was never com pounded. Light wines are in general use, however.but the opium habit, which is prev alent, is rapidly taking the place of wine drinking. Butthe use of opium induces the use of cognac. England and Scotland are in a more dpIorable condition than any other countrr in Europe. There are more alcoholic stimulants consumed in these two countries in proportion to size and popula tion than elsewhere in Europe or America. Bad in England and Scotland. "Drunkenness is verv prevalent through out Scotland, particularly in Edinburgh and Glasgow. As to Ireland I didn't see but one or two drunken men, which is ac counted for in their inability to buy liquor, owing to poverty, also by the strong vigi lance exercised by the Government upon illicit distillation. Liquor manufacture is a great monopoly and the price is very high. 'While in London 1 had many visitors from the temperance workers, who were anxious to know something of my methods in America. They expressed themselves as desirous of establishing an institute in each of the large cities. I look for a large dele gation from London this coming winter, representing various temperance societies. They will make a thorough investigation of the cure. I do not intend furnishing to the medical profession the formula, as by so do ing it would share the fate of Koch's remedy for consumption." Speaking of the difierent'institutions in this country he said there were 39, all of which were prospering. In Pittsburg 100 cured patients hare been turned out, and 40 are new under treatment. The doctor was tende'ed a reception at the 1'ittsburg Keeley Institute, on , Fifth avenue, where he "was warmly welcomed, and entertained the large audience with an interestinz talk on his travels. GOOD I-TTATOE OF W-ITIHG. A Drnmrnofi Cleverness Helps Him Ont of a Hole in South Carolina. The propensity ot traveling men for per petrating jokes is well known. All the latest ones originate with them. L. S. Paulsoraft, who is sojourning in the city this week, is responsible for the latest Among his many accomplishments is that of being able to imitate anvone's signature. For a group of admiring friends he dashed off with apparent ease the well-known sig natures ot Mora, Sardony, E. M. Gotthold, John Hancock and others! He said that recently he was in Charles ton, S.

Just come into the office." 1 followed him in," said Mr. Taulscroft, "and he wrote me a check. Upon receiving it, I said: If you will give me a blank check, I will bet yon a new hat that I can duplicate this genuine one, and get the money on it at the bank, provided you do not not;fy the bank to stop payment' 'Done,' said he, 'and to Ehow you that I mean it I will go with you to the bank. I they made a duplicate ot the check, handed him the original, and we.it to the bank, pre sented the one I had made and received the cah without a murmur. He paid the bet, and also set up the supper to a select coterie of friends, to whom he told the story with a great deal of pleasure " AH ENGLISHMAN'S VIEWS. The Tariff 'III Interfere With EihlDlts at tlio World's Fair. E. Wllloughhv Tirth. a prominent iron and steel manufacturer from Sheffield, England, was at the Hotel Duqnesne last night. He had just returned from a trip to Chicago, and felt confident that the World's Fair would be a great success. "The only thine that will prevent English people from making good exhibits," he said, "will bs the taritl. It is customary alt-r an Exposition of that kind for the ex hibitor., to sell their disjilavsand thus avoid rcturnlreight and at the same time make a lit iieprofit. TLiscannotbedoneat the World's Fair, however, because the arrangement v hereby goods xi ill be admitted free of duty will not allow their sile.

Temble right Between a Ball Do , Hone In Wyoming. "One of the most tcrriffic fights I ever saw," said George Holland, a horseman at the Union depot last evening, "was between a stallion and a bull dog. It occurred on a ranch in Wyoming. The poor horse was no match for the brute, and was soon killed latere the stable hands could rescue him. The dog was sitting near the stable door, when the stallion playfully nipped him as he passed by. The bull was in a bad humor, and quick as a flash sprang -t the horse, and buried his teeth in the stallion's shoulder. The horse rcrcamed with pain, and, with a powerful lurch, shook off the ugly brute. Then com menced a lively sparring match, in which the stallion "used his feet jigoronsly to no avail. The bull dog watched his chances, and with a sure aim grabbed the horseby the throat, almost tearing the wind pipe in twaint "The stallion rose up, bnt soon fell to the earth from exhaustion. Armed with pitch forks, the farm hands attacked the dog, but he refused to release his grip. Someone pulled out a revolver and shot the brute through the heart Even then it required considerable effort to pull open his jaws. It was too late, the horse had bled to death. IRWIN MEETING ADJOURNED. Miners Discredit Statements Sent Ont Dy the Operators The Men at Several Mines Tote to Declare the Strike Off President Rue Gone Home. The big miners' mass meeting which was to have been held at Irwin yesterday after noon was adjourned until next Wednesday afternoon as National President Kae, who was to have addressed the gathering, had to go to his home in Ohio, and will not be back until Tuesday. The Miners' Com mittee held meetings at the upper and lower Port Royal mines, and both meetings were very successful About 325 men are employed in the ten mines and they all pledged themselves to come out and stay out till the strike is ended. The committee held a consultation with President Costello last night after the Port Jtoyal meetings. At their conference they passed a resolution requesting the strikers not to pay any attention to reports of a damaging character to the miners as the operators are making a systematic effort, by false reports, to stampede the strikers. President Costello promised to give out some interesting statements to-day. He re fused to say what the character of them would be. A dispatch from West Newton last night said that it was thought the strike would be declared ofl to-morrow. Taylor, Sottt's, No. 2. Pacific, Hosack and Southwest mines held meetings this afternoon and voted to declare the strike off. The Banning mines are still out ITS BIG OUTPUT. A Scotchman's High Opinion of American Plate Rolling. The 119-inch plate mill of Carnegie, Phipps & Co., of Homestead, turned out for the month of October the enormous amount of 4,800 tons of finished plates. This record was only once excelled. In the month of October, 1890, 5,200 tons was the finished product credited to this mill. At the present time there was no extraordinary effort made to strain at or break records, the crews worked along at a regular pace and did not aim above the mark, A gentleman connected with steel works in Scotland visited the Homestead plant Monday. Of his visit he said: "It I were to go back to Scotland and tell them there what I have seen to-day they would tell me very quickly that I was "gaffing" them. Xon roll just four plates while we roll one in the old country. Another important thing is that you need not get your steel so hot as we do at Home. iou must Know that in our plant fre use soft rolls, and it is abso lutely necessary to bring the steel to the rolls with a dripping heat, so that no for eign particles may cling to the surface of the ingot and thus indent the rolls. It Is also necessarv to scrape the bottom of the ingot or slab before it is presred through the rolls. There is no use denying the fact, you Americans have left us tar behind in the iron and steel mills." A NEW BOYCOTT. Percy Smith and the Bijou Theater Settle Amicably. The striking job printjs have sprung something new in the way of a boycott They will vote the Straightout ticket on Tuesday solidly, as that was the only party that had its printing done in union Job offices. They are also inaugurating a boy cott against all tradesmen who do not affil iate with them. They will not even buy papers rrom non-union newsies. Outside of this phase there is nothing new in the situ ation. The trouble between the Bijou Theater and Percy Smith's printing house will probably Se settled before it goes into court The Bijou people have sent a communica tion to'Mr." Smith, requesting that he send them a bill of their account, and also an es timate on what he will lose by having the contract taken from him, and they will send him a check for the whole. Mr. Smith has complied with the terms.and is nowwaiting for the check. As soon as he gets it he will turn over the cuts, and the matter will be settled. A Feat In X, I5M Gange Boiling. The Carnegies have finished an order of 300 tons of plate at their Homestead plate mill for the Standard Oil Company for tanks in the McDonald oil fiield. The tanks were made by Biter & Conley, and was a rushed order. The capacity of the plate mill at Homestead will be appre ciated when it is stated that 24 hours after the order was placed the first consignment of the plate was in cars ready for shipment This order was the lightest ia gauge ever rolled in a mill having the rolling surface of the Homestead 119-inch plate milL The plates for the Standard Company are known as No. 4 and No. 6 gauge, and weigh 9.68 and 8.25 to the square foot A Good Sized Contract from Indiana. D. E. Lean, an engineer and contractor, of Pittsburg, has returned from Indian apolis where he has just closed a contract with the Haugh-Eurtz Steel Company for the erection of an open hearth steel plant on its property at Anderson, Ind. One 15 ton furnace will be built at present Mr. Lean will also furnish the necessary iron buildings, boilers, hydraulic machinery, pumps and railroad approaches. A Street Hallway Contrivance.

O- - -- HE CAMOT EXPLAIN. Theodore Doerflinger Declares He Can Form No Idea of . WHERE THE MONET WENT TO. A Day's Imprisonment Has a Terr Depress ing Effect on Him. BUILDING ASSOCIATION LOSS LIGHT About 8:30 o'clock last night Theodore Doerflinger vas removed from the Central police station, -where he had been confined all day, and taken to the county jail. During the whole day he preserved strict silence .on the subject of his defalcation. After he had been lodged in his cell at the jail a Dispakch reporter sent in a request for an Interview. Doer flinger sent word out that he had no state ments, to make for publication. His short stay behind the bars made quite a change in his appearance and manner. When he and Roger O'Mara arrived in Pittsburg early yesterday morning he was apparently in good spirits, and chatted about various subjects. But last nighthe appeared gloomy and broken down in spirits. He would scarcely speak to anybody, and sat silently in his cell, looking vacantly out through the bars. "Imprisonment goes hard with such men," said Warden McAleese. "We have scores of ignorant men and women here to whom iron bars have no terror, but on an intelligent man, accustomed to life's best things, confinement has a depressing effect on the spirits." Slipped Through HI Finger Before removal to the jail Doerflinger was visited at Central station by a num ber of his friends, among whom were ex Mayor MeCallan, Hugh Flinn and George P. Letoche. The meeting with each of these friends affected the prisoner deeply, and on one occasion he was moved to tears. In answer to the inquiries of one friend as to what he had done with his money he professed ntter inability to explain, say ing he had just let it slip through his fingers. The only thing he knew, he said, that had eaten up his money, was some unfortunate real estate deals he had ven tured into. He would not specify what they were. Doerflinger has evidently been advised to keep quiet about his business by his attorney. His friends and those formerly associated with him in business take no stock inthe explanation he gives, and say he certainly knows more about where his money went than he has indicated. It is said that 'abont the time he took the Franklin school bonds to Philadelphia and sold them, he invested almost 540,000 in stocks of some kind and lost nearly all of it Subsequently, it is alleged, he made good this loss by using money belonging to other people, and thus was figuring on one scheme to another to avoid exposure, until finally overtaken. Will Not rose Much. The Modern Building and Loan Associa tion held a meeting last night to receive in stallments from the shareholders. There was about the usual number who came up, and after an explanation by Secretary Mc Crickart paid their money'in as usual. A few shareholders have withdrawn, but not enough to cripple the association. The expert work on the books has proceeded tar enough to '"find that the association has not suffered as severely as was at first supposed, and the Secretary says the share holders will not lose a dollar. Doerflinger's bondsmen will have to pay the $5,000 of his bond, it is believed, and the surplus trill have to be drawn upon, and probably the present quarter's dividend will be slightly curtailed, but otherwise the association will not feel their loss. The transaction, noted in yesterday's Dispatch, by which Jesse Crawford bought a mortgaged house from Doerflinger will not affect the association. The secre tary says enough has been paid in by Craw ford to insure the association from loss, ' though Crawford will lose ?2,500. The Board of Directors of the Modern will meet Monday evening to deeide what steps to take in the matter. The expert will not finish his work before the middle of the week. TESTEEDAFS HOTEL ARRIVALS.

To the Fdltor of The Dispatch: The Pittsburg Leader having persistently published false charges of a serious charac ter relating to my conduct as District At torney, while exceedingly reluctant to enter into any controversy, the fact that but a small proportion of the people can know the reputation of any man or appreciate the bold defiance of truth and honesty of which a certain character of journalism is capable, I have addressed and caused to be delivered to that journal the following communication: To the Editor of the Pittsburg Leader: . I do not own a newspaper, and for that reason it is impossible tor me to publish in detail the reason why each case undisposed of during my six years as District Attorney remained untried. In some cases the par ties or witnesses were dead; in others it was impossible to procure the attendance of witnesses; in many cases the defendants forfeited their bail, and in many cases the defendants were never arrested. Many in dictments were merely duplicates of or an other form of charging offenses, on which new indictments the defendants were tried, and many were indictments which were de fective, and new ones were found to cure the defects. In every caie a reason satis factory to the Jndge "holding the session of the court was furnished why it should not be tried. Judges Stowe. Collier. Bailev. Slagle, Ew ing, White and Magee are not the men to neglect to see to and enforce the proper administration of justice. The number of cases not tried is not above the average of such cases for the terms of other incumbents of the office prior to mv two terms. An examination of the records will show that the administration of the late K. H. Johnston, Esq., was no exception to this rule, and no man has any doubt of his honesty and devotion to duty. In this connection I may add that almost all of the 115 larceny cases said to have been held over from the June sessions, 1887, were larceny cases against employes of the Pan handle Railroad Company. In these cases R. H. Johnston, Esq., and the late Hon. John H. Hampton were private counsel for the prosecution. Afew of the cases were tried and the ring-leaders in the robberies were convicted. Messrs. Johnston and Hampton then informed the court that they believed the ends of justice had been attained; that the remaining defendants were young men who had been misled, and that "to convict and sentence them could do no good. The witnesses in these caes had to be brought from all parts of the United States, at enor mous expense to the county, and their at tendance could not be compelled by process. The Court, Judge Collier on the bench, agreed with the private counsel; and the cass went over. None of the defendants ever asked for a trial, nor have I ever heard ot one of them being charged with crime since that time. As to the one hundred cases, more or less, in which it has been charged that the de fendants were convicted or pleaded guilty, or flolle contendere and were never called for sentence, the number and terms of the indictments being given, any person who knows anything about the records in the office of the Clerk of Courts can examine them and in half an hour convince himself that the statement published in the Leader is not reliable and is untrue The defen dants were called for sentence, many of them were actually sentenced on the very indictment specified, many of them forfeited their bail, and process was issued for them to the Sheriff Some of them had sentence suspended by the Jndge .who heard the " case, and some of them were actually acquitted by the jury instead' of being convicted. The man who published, that statement in the Evening Leader could not have examined the record or had it examined by competent persons. I need instance only one case, that against the notorious Daisy Moore, at No. 271, March sessions, 18S4. .She was actually sentenced by Judge Ewing to pay a fine of 100 and to be committed nine months to the workhouse, and this is plainly shown by the record. Many other mis statements as glaring as this are shown by the records, but it is unnecessary to particu larize. Not one indictment was held by me as District Attorney for political or personal purposes. As the Leader invites an answer to its statements, it ought in justice to pub lish this. W. D. Porter. October 31, 1891. 3-ns-Hir $7XOyEHBERW ADE A SAD MISTAKE. An Effort to Stop the Machinery-in a Boiling Hill Causes THE DEATH OF THOMAS GUSAICH, Anton HaiducH Makes a Fatal Attempt to Get a Day Off. HE IS UNDER AEREST FOR THE KniLING Thomas Gusalcb, a Pole, aged 19 years, died at the Homeopathic Hospital at S o'clock last evening. Anton Haidncki is under arrest to await the action of the Cor oner's jury to-morrow. The case is a rather peculiar one and may prove serious for Haiducki, who, though he evidently did not intend to kill Gusaleh, was indirectly responsible for his death. Both young men were employed In Singer, Nimick & Co. 's mill. Last Thurs day Haiducki came to the conclusion lie wanted a day off There was no way to get this but disable the rolls at which he and Gualch were at work. Accordingly he picked up a bar of cold iron and threw it into the rolls, thinking it would break them. The bar struck the rolls and broke into pieces. One portion was thrown high into the air and. in falling struck Gusaleh on the head. He was removed at once to the Homeonathic Hospital. The J hospital authorities were told it was purely circumstances. The head of the injured man was terribly crushed and he grew steadily worse. About 4 o'clock the hospital authorities notified the Coroner that the man was dying. Cor oner's Clerk Grant Miller. as soon as Gusaleh was dead, began an investigation. He soon learned the facts stated above and ordered the arrest of Haiducki. The latter was found at his home in the West End last nijjht and locked up. Gusaleh, lived in what is known as "Polishtown," near the southern end of the Point bridge. A post mortem examination was held last night at the morgue. The Coroner will hold an inquest to-morrow. Accident at New Haven, Fayette Co. Saturday afternoon an electric street car ran into the side of a freight train, first No. 483, Conductor John Singer, Engineer Crooks ton, at New Haven, near the power house on the Opossum Run branch of the South west Pennsylvania Railway. There were several persons very badly injured, and the electrio street car badly damaged. The electric street car struck the train abont 12 to 15 car lengths from front end of train, which was moving slowly. There was no damage to train. The names of the injured persons are not yet received. This is a singular coincidence. It appears from the law passed that the electric street railways are legally allowed to cross the steam railways at grade at any point, with out any reservation or arrangement; while a steam railroad to cross another steam rail road cannot cross at grade if it is possible to cross overhead or undergrade, and, when forced to cross at grade, the court has juris diction and is bound to make the railroad companies use the best known contrivances to avoid accidents. All over the Pennsyl vania Railroad system the electric street railways are forcing their way across at grade. The Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany are resisting all in their power, but so far have found themselves utterly helpless as the law now stands. An electric street railway company was formed at New Haven, and arranged to cross the Southwest Pennsylvania Railway and branches at different points. The Pennsylvania Railroad officials did all in their power to avoid this, and were fully of -the opinion that the attempt of any street car company or other persons to cross, without any arrangement for the pre vention of accident, and consequent loss and injury to life, showed an utter disre gard lor public safety. Notwithstanding thisriiowever, the New Haven street car 'people hooted at such an idea, and on the second day of their operation with the re sult shown above. Later information gives the number of injured as seven; one man's let- cut off, a lady's back broken, and a child's head badly injured. Bo Ton Ear?

BUTEDGE, OT BLArBSTTLLE, AFTER TBEATTNO SEC WEEKS AT THE ELECTRIC- AND MEDICA XNSTmrXE, 442 PENN AVENUE, FOB PARALYSIS, " Improves Sufficiently to Have Ona of Their Special Batteries Set Up In Bis Office to Complete His Recovery. Dr." a R. Rutledge, of Blairsville, Pa., the leading physician of that section, also surgeon of the Pennsylvania Railroad for the past 17 years, has been one of Pitts burg's frequent visitors of late, undergoing a oourse of electrical treatment at the Elec trical and Medical Institute, 412 Penn avenue, for a stroke of paralysis received about two years ago, which was incurred by overwork. " The results were so favorable that he had their chief electrician place one of their special batteries in his office at Blairsville, which is particularly adapted in his disease, in order that he might complete the treatment at home. Electricity is fast gaining popular favor as a restorative agent both with the pro fession and the public in general. Its ap plication being adapted in all chronic dis eases in some of its various forms, and the results recently accomplished give it a .place in medicine and surgery equal to that for mechanical purposes, and surpassing all other remedial agents that have ever been discovered.
