ISED A BIG STORM.
The People of Pittsburg Demand
That the Exposition Be Open
During the World's Fair.
IT IS THE CHANCE OP A LIFETIME.
Great Necessity of a Magnificent Display of
Manufacturing: Industries
in 1893.
SEED SOMETHING TO SHOW TRAYELERS.
There mil EtiU te Thousands Itt at Home to Attend
the tiff Show.
Som of the Exposition Society Direct-ore
and annual exhibitors have decided in favor
of closing the Exposition in 1893, as stated
in The DisrATCir yesterday, on the
ground that, a3 this year's exhibition was
not as successful as usual, it 'will not be a
ra,-V; policy to conduct another when the
World's Fair is in progress, because the
people iiill go to Chicago and the
rchibitiicn nill be poorly attended.
"While this view is held by some
people, interested and otherwise, it was
found yesterday that the proposition has
raised qui'e a storm of indignation among
the people aud they are not slow in ex
pressing it. Among a number of promi
nent men interviewed by The DisrATCn
onthesubje-t was JIayor Gourley, who,
on the matter being broached, exclaimed:
"Why, ths suggestion is preposterous!
Do they wish to ignore the best opportu
nity for advertising our city we have ever
had? Do they think that of the vast num
ber of people from the East and from for
eign countries who will pass through here,
going and coming from Chicago, that a
large number will not stop off to examine
our industries and to see our city? I can't
. understand why anyone would ignore this
important consideration in looking at the
matter.
The Cliau: of the Century.
"Even if th society should fail to secure
as much patronage and make as much money
' as they did last year, which I doubt, it
would he a golden opportunity to display,
in a compact and comprehensive form, all
the industries which have made Pittsburg
famous, and to increase our reputation as
agreat manufacturing center. It is not nat
ural to assumethatalargeproporationof the
people of thi community, which has sup
ported tb Exposition in the past, will at
tend th? "World's Fair. I doubt very muoa
if 10 pe: cent of them will go, and, besides
the Pittsburg exhibition is only open for
40 days, whereas the "World's Fair will
open in May. "93. and continue long after
ours is close-!. Those of our people who
attend the Chicagj show will go cither be
fore or after the one here.
"I certainly think our Exposition should
be m?de particularly fine in 1833. The di
rectors and exhibitors should spare neither
pains nor money to make it eclipse ail
former efforts, so that visitors to the city
will find there, in a small space, what it
would require hours to see by going to the
various manufactories. If the exhibition is
open these vUitors will go to see it and
they will measure Pittsburg largely by its
eitensiveness."
Icman for Industrial Exhibits
Police Magistrate Leslie said: "I con
sider the propositioi very unwise. The
year 1S!3 lull I believe, be the best imag
inable time to give this city a bigadvertise-
ment and spread her famu People all over
the world will attend the Chicago Exposi
tion, and how many will stop ofi to look at
Pittsburg? A large number will stop here
"beyond a doubt, ior in what little Conti
nental travel I have exp jrienced, I have
found thai Pittsburg is considered a famous
manufacturing city by Europeans. I would
sugcest that in 1893 the Exposition society
exclude all clothing, drygoods, grocery and
candy exhibits from the buildings and allow
only those exhibitors -nho can illustrate
our home manufactures to have spac?. By
this means it would be possible to show
nearly even- class of manufactory in the
city uuutr out: roof, and strangers could see
what has made us famous. The drygoods
and millinery displays can be scenon the
streets in any large city, and it has been a
common remark here that "the Exposition
does not amount to much, you can see it all
hy walking dwn Fifth avenue." Show
6trangers what we make and how me make
it, and our Exjiosition will be a great suc
cess." A Hbtakc to Close the Doors.
"It would be the greatest mistake the
business men of Pittsburg ever made to
close the doors of its Exposition during the
"World's Fair," said Samuel Hamilton, the
Fifth avenue piano dealer, vesterdav. "If
there was to be a great exhibition of pianos
and organs in Pittsburg I would not close my
store, but, on the other hand, would take the
opportunity of showing my goods. There are
hundreds of good reasons why Pittsburg
flioul-' have an Exposition at that time.
Pittsburg is the half-way town between
"j.- York and Chicago, and all the trains
are so regulated that people going either
way can stop off and not be delayed any
in their journey. These people wo'uld ail
Mop, not only to see thex Eposition, but
to visit Pittsburg, for it has a reputation
the world over as a manufacturing center.
?.Jany of these people will be dis
tinguished foreigners and Americans of
note, aud it will be the one chance in the
jife of the Pittsburg manufacturers and
business roc-, to give their city a standing
second to none in the world. Tnis can easily
be done by the business men giving aid and
helping to build tin a mammoth exhibit.
.Need a Micw for "Western tVoplo.
"It will b an easy matter to get extra
attractions, as the bes"; in the land will be
at the World's Fair for short engagements,
oni? we can taily ge them to come to
Pitt-burg. People from the Pacific
coast wil. go to Chicajo and when they are
that far East they will come on to Pittsburg.
3Iany of tliesi "Western people buy all
their iron, steel, glass, eta, from Pittsburg,
and will of course wa.it to see the manu
factories. So that whe:; these peop.e come
here Pittsburgers could maV-e a great hit by
going to a little extra expense and show her
visitors the sights. Excursions could be
mace to the mills and up to Davis Island
Dam aud the many points of interest and
beauty which a'jound about Pittsburg.
'"Those who arc opposed to opening the
Exposition advance the argument that no
one" would be left to attend it. That is not
the case : can easily be seen. In the dis
trict .'-on '.vtich the Pittsburg Exposition
draws its crowd there i., a population of
about 750,000 people. Ot this number about
0.000 will attend the Chicago fair and the
balance, with a large majority of the 50,000,
v.sli come to Pittsburg.
Cannot All Oo to Chicago.
"I account for that in this manner.
Long before the "World's Fair opens the
couutrv will be flooded with its advertising
matter and every person will be eager to
attend some fair. They ca-3no; all go to
Chicago, however, but the number I men
tioned can and will come to the Pittsburg
Exposition if we have good attractions.
Thosj who go to Chicago, on their
return will visit the Exposition to
compare the two shows. So with
the 760,000 we are sure, of and theini
mense crowds which will pass through the
citv. I think it will be the one chance for
Pittsburg to show what it can do.
"The people who are opposing it now
will change their minds before long and see
the matter as I do." '
James Flood, of Arbuckles & Co., said
he thought an Exposition during the World's
Fair year more important than any other
time.as many people from, all parts of the
East and froin Europe would pass through
Pittsburg on their way and would stop to
sec us and we ought to have something to
show them. He turthcr said that to people
living here the exhibit is not much of a
novelty, but it is to a stranger, who can
learn more in an hour at an exposition of
oui industries than by a ride ali over the
city. Mr. Flood also said our show should
be extensivelv advertised in Chicaeo.
H. P. Dilw'orth, of Dilworth & Co., who
was present, indorsed what Mr. Flood said.
Afraid It Will lie Overshadowed.
M. Bauer, of Dilworth Bros., thought it
best to let the exhibition go for that year.
He thousht it would be overshadowed by
the big show and further thought a yearly
exhibit would grow stale in course of time
anyhow.
"William D. Harper, general manager of
the house of Joseph Home & Co., thoucht
primarily that it was a matter mainlyin
the discretion of the Board of Exposition
Managers, they being to a greater extent
financially interested than others, but his
judgment was that it would be best to hold
the .Exposition here mat year as usuai; as
he said there were thousands of neighboring
farmers who would visit it but would
never entertain the iden of going to Chi
cago, any more than to Europe. Mr. Harper
further said the Exposition was, beyond
financially, beneficial to the city, and he
saw no reason why it should not be made as
good in the "World's Fair year as in any
other, or better.
Mr. Biber, of Biber & Easton, said:
"Keep it open by all means." Mr. Biber
thousht no argument of force could be ad
duced against his position. He" held there
would be sufficient patronage to pay lttne
exhibit were what it should be, and if it
wasn't it didn't deserve encouragement.
The city is abundantly able to make a good
show both here and at Chicago.
rmsburjr Ableto Have Its Own Show.
Thomas D. Kellar seemed to think this
community able to make two shows in the
same yean and, as the city was already well
known in Europe, there will be many who
will stop here, and we should give them
something to see. He would make the
show greater on that very account, hold
ing that no matter how great may be
our exhibit in Chicago, it will be more
or less lost in the great display there. As
to the argument that the show is likely to
grow stale by frequent repetition, Mr.
Kellar said that exhibitors must hump
themselves anyhow if ?hey want to draw a
crowd and make the exhibit better every
vear. An array of fine furniture exhibits
is all well in its way, but people do not care
to look at it every year, and music and
other adventitious aids'will not supply the
want of enterprise. "With him all the ar
guments advanced against a show are urged
on the opposite side, as he wants exhibitors,
management and citizens of Pittsburg all
put on their mettle to make a big display
when the world will be here to see it.
J. E. Hcnricks, the music dealer, thought
il would be better to keep the Exposition,
open in 1893 even if expenses were not paid.
He did not see any reason, however, why
that year would not be as good as any other
in view of the fact that only a small pro
portion of the people would go to Chicago.
The Exposition, he said, is a great adver
tisement for Pittsburg, and to drop it one
year would make the next year like starting
over again.
Opinion of a World's Fair Commissioner.
A. G. Roenigk, one of the World's Fair
Commissioners, said: "I think it would be a
great mistake to close the Exposition during
the fair. It would be a confession of weak
ness. This city is not in competition with
Chicago. There are a great many people
who wont go to the World's Fair who
would attend a show in Pittsburg. What
the Exposition people need to make their
exhibition a success is constant agitation. I
notice in the theatrical business that the
more theaters we have the more the public
goes to see the plays. Some novelties, how
ever, are required to make the Exposition a
success yearly. The people tira of same
ness and they must have variety. I think
every business man would oppose closing
the Exposition doors in 1893."
E. E. Bonneville, one of the clerks at tho
Anderson, said: "It is ridiculous to shut
up shop in 1893. The Pittsburgers will find
thev never had such an opportunity tomake
money as during the World's Fair. Chi
cago can't begin to take care of all the visit
ors, and many from the East will stop over
here waiting for a chance to get accommoda
tions in the Windy City. Again, Pitts
burg has a reputation across the water, and
most of the foreigners will want to see
natural gas and'the industries. They would
also want to attend the Exposition if it was
in full blast. The Exposition is intended
for the local people, and I feel sure the at
tendance during the World's Fair will be
increased if the exhibition is given."
William Witherow, of the Duquesne,
said: "How many people do you suppose
can afford to go to Chicago? Tne nnmber is
very smal'. The bulk of the people would
be left with nothing to see. The Exposi
tion is maintained b" the city and the popu
lation within a radius of 100 mile?. I can
see no reason why they wouldn't attend the
Exposition. Those who go to the World's
Fair are liable also to visit the Pittsburg
exhibition. People don't come from a great
distance to see the local show, but during
the Fair the city will surely have a number
of visito a coming and going, who would
willincly spend a quarter to see the Expo
sitor." Special Agent Hampton Houghton, of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, said:
I"ittsburg the Mecca of All Travelers.
"What a great center of attraction this
city will be in 1893. It will be the stop-ping-off
place for thousands. So many
people in the East have hearctbf Pittsburg,
but have never had the time or onportunity
to see its natural advantages and industries.
Just now World's Fair clubs arc beins or
ganized all over the Eastern Slates. These
people will want to see everything they
can along the road. The fares are low, and
the railroads will advertise a stop
over at Pittsburg as one of the induce
ments. It is plain to be seen
that the Exposition would reap a harvest.
To shut down at such a time would be the
height of folly If they get up a credit
able exhibition there will be plenty of
strangers and country people to patronize
it"
Division Passenger Agent E. D. Smith,
of the Baltimore and Ohio road, talked in
this train: "I think it is a good plan to
close the Exposition. It is true a great
many strangers will stop over here, but
after seeing the World's Fair, they
wouldn't want to visit our Exposition. Most
of the visitors will be anxious to inspect
the iron mills and glass houses. They will
go where they are and not to the" show
down at the Point"
Gourl-y Will Inspect the Tollce.
There will be an inspection of the entire
uniformed police force of the city at 10
o'clock next Tuesday morning in the Old
City Hal- Captain' J. A. A. Brown ill
be in command and maneuver the men. The
inspection will be made by Mayo- Gourley,
Chief Brown and Superintendent Weir.
Invitations have been issued to a number
ot ladies and gentlemen to witness the
ceremony. Dau Silvis, arrayed in a bran
new suit of blue designed ior his new of
fice as Chief Inspector, will make his first
appearance in that regalia and is expected
to create a sensation.
Golnq: Over the Iialtimorc and Ohio.
Now that the city has more theaters and
consequently more theatiical companies, the
rivalry between the railroads for the busi
ness is fiercer than ever. This week the
Baltimore and Ohio line captured the
"Eights and Shadow"company to NewYork,
"Boys and Girls" to Cincinnati, and the
people at Harry Williams' for Baltimore.
There were scattering tickets to different

INTERESTING POLITICAL GOSSIP
Since the Republican victory in Pennsyl
vania and Ohio things are already begin
ning to shape themselves for the great Na
tional fight of -'93. Although the Pennsyl
vania leaders are ostensibly taking a rest,
thev are at the same time incidentally
making moves toward organization. The
first shot fired by local politicians, who are
next to the ones who shape the destiny of
some people, was to the effect that C. L.
Magee, of Pittsburg, was to be the next
Chairman of the Republican National Com
mittee.
This statement is not improbable, accord
ing to the views taken by many per-ons and
the placid relations now existing be
tween Senator Quay and Mr. Magee.
To a casual observer,.this great pair are like
comrades sharing each others political joys
with the same spirit that two young' per
sons share a philopena. Mr. Magee as
pired to the honorary public position three
years ago, when Quay was voted in by a
large majority. His cause was championed
by Senator William Flinn, at Chicago,
while Mr. Magee lay sick in the Grand Pa
cific Hotel. Flinn's friends wanted him to
withdraw Mr. Magee's name, they seeing
that the latter had no chance of winning.
The Senator declined to do so, and as a con
sequence the Pittsburg gentleman only got
six votes out of the (i? delegates from
Pennsylvania.
The leaders Reconciled at Harrlsborg.
At that tim,e Quay and Magee were not
friends. They did not speak to each other
for eight years, but both, realizing the im
portance of one another's friendship in pol
itics, a reconciliation was brought about
last August at Harrisburg during the State
convention.
This meeting had been prearranged for
some months, and the couple met as strang
ers at the Commonwealth Hotel, where they
were formally introduced by Senator Mylan,
They afterward held a long conference in a
private parlor and discussed the situation
thoroughly.
Since then they have been pulling the
oars together, and with great successs, as is,
shown by the late election. Mr. Magee is
now in I'huaaeipma, ana sucn people as
Senator Win. Flinn, Chairman Gripp.Sheriff
McCleary and Chief Brown, are there too.
They are there to seek rest and quiet, and
a more cougenial spot could not have been
selected. From very close triends of Mr.
Magee it is learned that the pro
gramme laid out for the next campaign is
that Matthew Stanley Quay shall be re
turned to the United States Senate, and Mr.
Magee can have the National Chairmanship,
if cares to assume the arduous duties. His
friends think he is eminently capable of
handling the reins, and especially bo, since
Mr. Quay is next to him once more.
C L. Magee Might Not Accept.
The question now arises, will Mr. Magee
accept? He is so prominently identi
fied with large interests in Pitts
burg, and is very instrumental in
pushing it to the fore as a great
city. As an instance of this will be shown
in the conversation of a friend of Mr. Ma
gee's with a Dispatch reporter yesterday:
He said: "Two years ago when I ap
proached Chris his talk was mainly of a
political character, now it is all business."
One of Mr. Magee's most intimate
friends, and one with whom he consults
dailv. said that the centleman would here
after not be actively engaged in politics
both from his own personal inclination,
and at tin- request and desire of his family.
In the absence of Mr. Magee and his close
political friends in Philadelphia, only a
few people could be seen who talked intel
ligently on the matter.
One' who stumped the State of Ohio dur
ing the last campaisn, when asked Mb
opinion of the report that Magee was to be
the next Chairman, said:
"It is very possible. To me it looks like
a Democratic victory next year as to the
national issue, and Senator Quay foresees
this. Therefore he will advocate Mr.
Magee's election at the meeting to be held
in New York soon, and if the Republicans
are vanquished he will quietly chuckle, and
inwardly remark: "You thought yon had
more political power, 'and were more cap
able of running things. Let the people
now judge for themselves."
Habitues of City Hall and political ren
dezvous thought Mr. Magee would make a
good Chairman, as his experience in shap
ing a campaign is a matter of history, and
no one is more qualified to conduct a politi
cal fight than he.
WANTS BKENNEN BOUNCED.
John Ennls Claims He lias Disrupted the
Democratic Tarty Here.
"William Brennen has practically ruined
the Democratic party in this county," said
ex-Jury Commissioner John Ennis yester
day. "It will require years of careful man
agement by the best leaders in it to return
the party to its former local prestige and
strength. Had he not played into the
hands of the Republican leaders and given
a majority on their State ticket, they would
scarcely have carried this county. Look at
the figures. There were only about 53,000
votes polled, and yet the Republicans had a
majority of over 17,000. What would it
have been if the full vote of 71,000 had been
out? Why, the Republicans would have
had over 30,000 majority in spite of the
Straighout movement.
"There is no doubt in my mind of how far
Mr. Brennen went in this matter. When
he was authorized to appoint a committee
of 18 for the purpose of putting up a district
attorney, he went around among the, promi
nent Democrats and first ascertained
whether they were for or against putting up
a candidate. . When he was positive on
this point he appointed all men opposed to
having a candidate, thus losing the best and
surest chance of electing a Democratic Dis
trict Attorney we have ever had. I know
of two men, John Huckenstein and F. L.
Bellman, who were visited by him and
when he learned of their desire to put up a
candidate left their names irom his list. I
have heard of others similarly treated. The
best thing the party can do with its chair
man is to throw him overboard entirely and
replace him with a good Democrat"
FIKST OF THE SENATORS.
Jones, of Arkansas, Going to "Washington
1'arly to Assist the Democrats.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, passed
through the city last evening bound for
Washington. He intends to remain for the
opening of Congress. He thinks the bulk
of the Democratic Congressmen will be
on the ground in the next ten
days. The Presidental election is so
crose that the party managers want
to get the discordant elements in the ced
ing House harmonized as soon as possible.
The Democrats will make as few mistakes
as possible, so that they can go to the coun
try with a good record. Congress won't
assemble until Decembe', but this accounts
lor the anxiety of the Democrats to have
their men on the ground early, and outline
a definite plan of action.
"This Congress will be a business one,"
remT-ki-ri the broaH-hnulVr ! f-nn'o
"and we will get down to work without
much ceremony. The Senate is Republican
and they won't allow us to accomplish very
mucH. The tariff will be revised on a Dem
ocratic basis. The result of the elections in
the different States gives us great encour
agement,u and we think we can
winh in 1892. Down my way
Cleveland is very popular,, and
he will no doubt be renominated. The Ar
kansas people don't like his position on the
silver question, but they admire his hon
esty and frankness. We want free silver,
but I suppose we can't get it for awhile.
The nation doesn't seem to be prepared for
it"
The Senator then diverged from politics
to the Southern problem, and slapped his
chest proudly, bceause it took the Northern
people fonr long years to subdue the
South. He said he lived in a negro town
and he never saw one of them molested at
the polls except by white Republicans who
wanted to fix their tickets for them. He
added that the population of Arkansas had
increased 50 per cent in the last ten years,
and it is only a question of a little time un
til its importance will be recognized.
MEETING OF THE AHEBICUS MEN.
The
CInb Request That PHtsbnrc Be
So
Ipcted for the Next Convention.
The regular meeting of the Americus
Club was held last night. Three new mem
bers were elected. The death of W. M.
Gibbs, a member of the club, was an
nounced, and several members made re
marks eulogistic of his character and his
services to the party.
A letter from the Hon. L. E. McComas,
acknowledging his election as an honorary
member of the club, was received and read.
A resolution was presented by W. H. Reed
and adopted, thanking the reception com
mittee in Cleveland for their entertainment
of the club while it was in Cleveland last
month.
The following resolution yas presented by
John Ewing:
"The Americus Club sends greeting to the
Xational Republican Executive Committee
and requests them to Jiiuno tlio city of Pitts
burg as the place of meeting of the National
Republican Convention in 1K2. "The city
which witnessed the birth of the Republican
part' desires to meet its oflVprinjr m the full
tide of its prosperity and success; to recount
its triumphs; to mourn its dead heroes; to
honor its living ones, and to urge it on to
greater success and to higher honors; there
fore; Resolved That a committee of three, con
sisting of President Baor and ex-Presidents
Reed and Paul, be appointed to confer with
the National Republican Executive Com
mittee and urge upon them the propriety of
this selection.
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
It was also decided that the club, in a
body, attend the inauguration of Governor
elect McKinley at Columbus next January.
HOW FOE THE PRESIDENCY.
McKinley Goes to New York to Get Away
From the Office Seekers.
Governor-elect McKinley, accompanied
by his wife and maid, passed through the
city last evening bound for New York.
The Major intends to visit his brother Ab
ner for several weeks, and then return to
Canton, where he will remain until the in
auguration. He was looking well,
but said he was tired, aud want
ed to get away for awhile,
where he could rest and think
about his future plans unmolested. Already
there is a wild scramble among the Buck
eye Republicans for the positions at his dis
posal. The Governor appoints an Insur
ance Commissioner and the wardens of the
penitentiaries. As Governor Campbell
made the boys walk the plank when he
went into omce, .ftjajor Jttcninley is ex
pected to do the same thing. James Boyle,
a Columbus newspaper man who did great
work for the Major during the campaign,
is a candidate for the private secretaryship.
It has been customary to give the position
to a newspaper writer. Boyle's chances are
considered good.
The Major had little to say about the
election. He rejoiced that it was free from
personalities, and that the best of feeling
prevailed all around. . He is now out for
the Presidency, ?nd his friends say that he
will not accept second place with Blaine o?
any othrr man. He repeated that he
thought the people are tired of tariff agita
tion. EETTJENS 4IM0ST FINISHES.

Chairman Brennen talked about the intro

voting in Allegheny county last night. He
thinks it would be a mistake in regard to
the Democratic party, giving as a reason
that their vote is too small as compared
with the Itepublicans.
The Straightout Democrats are now agi
tated over the selection of a new leader tor
the ranks, and great interest is being
evinced as to who will be the selected

LABORERS STILL OUT.
Jones k Laughlins' Engineers Hay
Go Ont on a Strike To-Morrow.
WILL NOT CONCEDE THE DEMANDS.
A Etrike of the Miners of the Whole District
Kay Ee Called.
OTHER LABOR IIAPPEXI.VGS OP K0TE
The strike at Jones & Laughlins' South
side mills by to-morrow morning may have
assumed still larger proportions than it is
at present Last night the engineers held a
secret meeting of over two hours in length.
At its close one of the men was seen, but he
was reticent about giving out any of the
particulars. He admitted that the sole
question under discussion was that of
whether or not they would strike.
As to what conclusion was arrived at he
would not say. He said the men were not
satisfied with the new order of things. The
engineers belong to the Amalgamated Asso
ciation. At the Amalgamated headquarters
the management said the case had not been re
ported to them, so they refused to say what
would be the result. Yesterday afternoon
the committee apointed by the laborers
waited on the firm and asked them to take
the men back at the old rate. Their request
was denied and this committee was
informed that the men would have to come
back at once if they wanted their old places
under the new.plan, and if that did not suit
them they would not be taken back at all.
The strikers say they expected this and are
not dismayed. Next Tuesday they will
hold another meeting, and in the meantime
they will make every possible effort to en
list the organized labor of the mill in
their behaU". Yesterday the metal loaders
refused to'accent SI 80 for 12 hours' work.
Heretofore they have been working eight
hours and receiving SI 50 for it.
The men still claim that there are from 800
to 900 men on a strike. At the firm's office
a different story is told. Here they say
that only 250 men have refused to work and
that already 75 men have been secured to
take their places. They say that they are
not in the least affected by the trouble and
do not care what the laborers do.
WASHED TO KEEP AWAY.
The Stand Taken by the Railroad Miners
at Mansfleld.
At a meeting ot the Mansfield miners
held yesterday the following letter was
adopted:
On Tuesday, Xovember 3, at the general
convention of the Pittsburg district the
miners' great strike was declared off, and
all members were allowed to return to work
provided they would be .granted tho same
privileges and conditions as were given
them previous to their going out on strike.
Under the impression that matters were
satisfactory the miners of Mine Jf o. 2, Mans
fleld, reported their readiness to return to
work; but the operators objected to rein
state two of their former enpineors. and
hence the trouble. The firm claims incom
petency to bo the cause of their strange
action in this case; but if these two men
have proved themselves faithful, trust
worthy and competent, inthesame capacity
for the last two years, it is evident
that they are still competent and worthy
In every respect of reinstatement: and a
fair-minded firm could not reasonably ob
ject. The relationship of minors and oper
ators at mine No. 3 has been very aitree
nble and harmonious for years and we
hope that tho present unpleasantness will
be nmicably Bettled at a vory early date: but
until then we ask all miners to keep at a
respectful distance and not to interfere un-'
fairly with our trouble and jobs.
IlfS OUTLOOK HOT PLEASANT.
Miners Blame the Operators With Trying
J to Disrupt Their Order.
Matters are still assuming a serious aspect
with the striking miners, and the outcome
may be another general strike. The refusal
of the operators in the mines, which have
been mentioned in The Dispatch, to take
back the old men, is causing general dis
satisfaction among all of the railroad
miners.
The miners are of the opinion that oper
ators are trying to break up their organiza
tion. They claim that in every instance the
men who were refused their old places were
the ones who were leaders or took an active
part in the recent strike. At the three
Cannonsburg mines the men were yesterday
told that they would have to leave the
United Mine Workers if they wanted to
work in those mines. Several of the mines
have abolished the office of check-weighman.
Yesterday afternoon President Costello
returned from a tour of the mines where
the men are still out. He refused to say
what would be the outcome, but from his
talk it was inferred that he was not de
lighted with the turn affairs had taken.
Motormen and Conductors Dissatisfied.
The motormen and conductors of the
Western avenue branch of the Pittsburg,
Allegheny and Manchester Company are
growing dissatisfied over the way matters
are going with them. They claim they are
compelled to make a straight run of 12
hours, and do not get time enough for meals,
together with several other minor troubles.
They will hold a meeting in a few days and
appoint a committee to wait on the officials.
Want Police Protection.
A committee of employing job printers
waited on Mayor Gourley yesterday and
asked him to give them police protection
against the striking printers' committee.
In the afternoon a committee from the
strikers also held a long consultation with
Mayor Gourley, but it could not be learned
what the strikers wanted. The Mayor has
not granted the employers' request yet.

0'MARA'S BIG CATCH. ,
Be Picks Up Two Famous Shoplifters in
Home's Store How Mary Ann Oainn
and Mollie Moran Fell Into the Net
Their Becordr.
Mary Ann Quinn and Mollie Camp, two
alleged shoplifters, were arrested in Jos.
Horhe & Co. 'a store yesterday afternoon as
suspicious characters by Assistant Superin
tendent O'Mara. Mrs. Quinn was formerly
Mary Whorley, and 12 or 15 years ago was
known as the "Queen of the Dirty Dozen,"
an organization of very bad young girls who
infested the Twelfth ward, and whose esca
pades were the subject of frequent news
paper commeut She was sent to the peni
tentiary for, three years when the "dozen"
was broken up, und while there became a
mother. She is the wife of a John Quinn,
of Allegheny.
Mollie Moran was also, it is alleged, a
member of the "dozen,"but she only served
a six months' sentence in the workhouse.
She is the widow of Richard Camp, who
died a few weeks ago, aud has figured on
the police records since. Both were fash
ionably dressed, and when Assistant Super
intendent O'Mara entered the store yester
day and recognized the two women he
watched them for a moment, but seeing him
they ran to a toilet room in the rear. He
followed and ordered them out, whereupon
they both ran, and, reaching the street,
Mrs. Camp staned on a run down an alley
above the store. She was recaptured, and
ihe two women were taken to the Central
station in the patrol wagon. Nothing was
found upon them that looked like stolen
goods, aud the proprietors of the store make
no charge against them.
Mr. O'Mara says these two women are the
slickest shoplifters and pickpockets in the
city, their place of operations being balls,
theaters and crowded stores, and steal every
thing they can lay their hands on, while a
confederate waits on the outside and car
ries away the stolen stuff. The police have
been looking for the women for more than a
week, and their capture yesterday was the
merest accident
REAPING THE HARVEST.
Already Reciprocity Brings Bieh South
American Trade to Pittsburg Structur
al Iron for Railroads In the Tonne Re
public Savo Money by Buying Here.
As a result of the reciprocal commercial
relations between Brazil and the United
States, a valuable bit of work from the for
mer country has come to the Keystone
Bridge Company in this city. It is the
construction of a roundhouse, machine
shops aud other terminal structures for the
ITogyana Railroad at Santos. The buildings
will all be of iron. When they are com
pleted they will be shipped by
lail from Pittsburg to New York,
from whence they will go to
Brazil by ocean. It will take two months
for the iron to reach its destination. But,
despite the length of time thus consumed in
transit, and the heavy freights that must
accumulate, Brazilians are finding it to
their interests to come to Pennsylvania for
their building materials rather" than con
tinue with their old friends, the merchants
and manufacturers of Great Britain.
The roundhouse to be built for Santos
freight yards will contain stalls for 11
locomotives, have a turn-table in the center
and will be surrounded by three workshops.
The general plans for the" work, bearing im
posing Spanish inscriptions, were received
irom Urazi', and the American plans, de
veloping tho details, formulated and sent
back to Brazil for inspection. These
being approved the work will be rapidly
pushed to completion.
The Keystone Works is also finishing up
a couple of bridges and other structural
iron work for Brazil also. Trade with that
part of South America is undoubtedly
growing.

After Space In the World's Fair.
Homer Laughlin and John N". Taylor, of
East Liverpool, and John S. Haines, of
Baltimore, went to Chicago last evening as
a committee representing the United States
Potters' Association to see about space at
the World's Fair for the potters' display.
Mr. Laughlin said they had assured the
managers that if sufficient room was allotted
them the potters of the country in all
branches of the industry would give an ex
hibition of ware that would surprise the
Americans and foreign visitors. The As
sociation will work ont the details. Mr.
Haines is the artist for the organization.
He says no other business in the States was
more indebted to a protective tariff and the
industry is an example of what protection
will do for the manufacturing interests ot
the country.
Supreme Jndces Visit McDonald.
Judges Greene, Mitchell and. Williams, of
the Supreme Court, were the guests of W.
P. Logan, in the McDonald oil field yester
day. They were driven over the territory,
and were close observers of how the busi
ness is conducted. The Judges
were particularly interested in study
ing the geology of deep formation?.
A great many cases have come before the
Court lately involving law points concern
ing the deeper strata. Thsywere given
samples of the different sands, and every
feature of the business was explained to
them. The judges were greatly pleased
with the visit, and think they have gathered
information that will assist them in adju
dicating oil cases in the future.

PRETEXTING AN AWFUL LOSS OF LIFE
Akboit, O., Nov. 7. Two Howard street
business buildings collapsed at 1:10 o'clock
this afternoon, and it was at first feared
several persons were buried in the ruins,
which happily proves to be not the case.
One of the blocks was a stone front, four
stories high, occupied by Herrick & Son,
crockery jobbers and retailers. The other
was of brick, three stories high, occupied by
the bakery and confectionery store of S. B.
Lafferty.
About 20 people were in the dining rooms
in the rear portion of the bakery. These
heard the premonitory cracking and rushed
out of the back door, all being saved.
In Herrick & Son's store were the book
keeper, Carl Summer and several clerks, all
of whom jumped through back windows
and doors. Summer was cut in the head
but otherwire uninjured. The fronts of
both blocks fell into the street, the heavy
stonework of the Herrick block crashing
clear to the ground.
Francis Miner, of Johnson's Corner,.was
pinned to the ground by a heavy stone, his
right leg being completely crushed from
just above the knee and only the bleeding
stump left. Walter Stanley, a boy, was
crushed so that his foot will have to be
amputated. Miss Laura Waltz, a school
teacher, ran out of the bakery through the
front door and through the falling stones
and brick, and escaped with only a few
scratches. Mrs. David Frank, of Coply,
and her daughter Kedella Frank, were h'it
by flying debris and knocked down, but
are not seriously hurt. Almede Bush, aged
16, who was in the bakery, was cut about
the face and was covered with chemicals
used in confectionery manufacture. She is
not dangerously hurt.
Both Herrick & Son and S. B. LafTerty
say that all the clerks got ont safely. A
bystander, who was beyond the reach of the
falling wreck, said that two or three per
sons were on the sidewalk in front of Her
rick's store when the crash came, and that
they were buried in the wreck.
The block occupied by Herrick & Son was
owned by I. Isbell, of this city, and Henry
Clark, of Hartford. The one occupied by
Lafferty was owned by the estate of Dr. E.
W. Howard. The loss on the former is
525,000; on the latter, $15,000. Herrick &
Son's loss is 520,000; Lafferty's loss is about
$4,000. The rear walls of both blocks stood
intact, and the wreckage there did not fall
to the first floor, as in the front, thus giv
ing the occupants a chance to escape.
The wall between the two blocks has been
gradually undermined in the last few years
by water washing from an overflowed sewer.
The Isbell & Clark block was pronounced
unsafe some time ago, and B. C. Herrick
says that he called the attention of I. Isbell
on Fridav to the loose and crumbling brick
in the cellar wall.
Not Ready to tay Tracks.
A report was current in lawrenceville
last night to the effect that the Pennsyl

while the deal ha3 been completed, it has
