ELLIOT DIDIT KNOW
That the A. W. Alexander and Caleb
Ice Farms Dad Ever Been Of
fered for 200 an Acre.
SEVER SAW THAT ORDER OF COURT
Tlie Charities Chief Explains the Keccssity
of a Toor Farm of Very
Largo Acreage.
1IAT0R GOURLEI HOLDS HIS OLD VIEWS.
Out nnntad Dollars Is the ATtmse Wee of Tsrm
Linds in This Connty.
The recommendation of Chief Elliot for
the purchase of the Alexander aud the
Caleb Lee farms at Hulton for Poor Farm
purposes is exciting general comment, and
in connection therewith it has been inti
mated that there is big money in it for
somebody if the transaction is carried
through. So direct charges have been
made arainst anjone but, as stated in these
columns yesterday, a record has been found
in the Orphans' Conrt, dated October 17,
1S31, showing that sin orderhadbeeen issued
allowing the sale of the Alexanker farm at
200 an sere. Chief Elliot's option on
the property is for $350 an acre. In view
of the insinuations that have been made
the Chief was interviewed on the matter
yesterday, and at the same time was asked
his views on the acreage required for
Toor Farm purposes.
"Mr. Elliot, it is intimatel that you
have recomraendei the purchass of $200
land at S.V.3 rates. Is that true?"
"I told The Dispatch a few days ago
that I had made my recommendation on the
farm in perfect good faith. I say thsams
thine to-d.y. I had intended not to say
anything whatever abont this mat'.ir unless
direct charges w ere made. Inuend -cs, srsh as
are being printed, don't amount to anything
only to show the aptness of certain pecu
liarly conbtituted people to find fault -with
anybodyaad everything except themselves
Didn't Know of the Conrt Order.
"I knew nothing whatever ofany transfer
of the Alexander property or of any conrt
order relating to its sale. The owner of the
Alcxinder and the Lee farms submitted
propo-ais to me for the sale of their prop
erty to (lie city at S330 an acre. I gave
them to udfTfetaud, as T did all other par
ties who offered farms that 1 would have
nothing to do with any property in the sale
of which any but the actual owners were to
Teceive any of the money paid for it. "When
1 made my recommendaiion I fully believed
the Alexander ard Tyce farms to be worth
$350an acre as compared with the other
farms I had examined I believe so siill.'t
"But vhy should the city pav?350 an
acre for the Und when the Orphans' Court
authorised its nle at 5200?"
"1 don't know anything about that order
C3cejt what I li.ive seen in the newspapers;
but.whnitt'ng that it is correct, it seems
very casly explainable. The fac that the
-oan did so order would not compel the
owner:- of the property to tell at that price
it Le land v. as worth more and they could
it. Frequently in the settlement of es
tates to which there arc minor heirs it is
necessary to get an order permitting a sale
of the property from the Orphans' Court.
For the protect iou of the beneficiaries the
court insists that a tair price shall be fixsd
on the property or whatever is to be sold,
Tint the cccutor or whoever may have con
ttol of the property may consider it worth
more, or that he can get more, than the
court's figure and miy sell it for double the
cniount. I don't know that such is the
case in regard to the Alexander property,
but that might be an explanation of the
com t rcord referred to. "
"The court record includes an affidavi
by A. J. I; who owns an adjoining farm,
list she Alexander land is orth 200 an
acre."
One arctliod of Explaining.
"Sly it doei," replied the chief, "he
doesn't av it is not worth more than that,
does. K'" It is always necessary to prove the
vclea of a property by the value of sur
rounding land to satisfy the Court that the
3".riee is fair. Now. mind you, I don't know
such ib the case, but it can be explained
that way."
"It is spid, Mr. Elliot, that the George
Xec farm, 1 in; nearer to'and having a river
front is equally as desirable as the Alex
ander farm and ha been and is on the mar
ke. at present for ?330 an acre."
"That bit be true. But George Lee
mads no ofor to sell his farm to the citv.
He iras in my off.ee several times and talked
to on about a farm, but neer offered to
sell b:s, :;t:!'n.;li he knew I was trying to
locate a I'ocr Farm. If lie chose not to offer
his pio-wm 1 could not compel him to,
conlu I?" " .
"I it true that Mr. Alexander is a cousin
of yonri. as has been stated".'"
"No, sir: no, sir," exclaimed thrs Chief
crchcdlj, "that's onlv arcther lie, and you
can say that vhoeer savs so is a liar.
"A::d. now." be continued, "I will say a
few words in my own behilf. Do those
people who seem to think I am in a scheme
to dclraud the c:ty realize the condition of
icy department, or do they know how it is
being mar aged" "Why. sir, the Pittsburg
Department of Charities is highly esteemed

1 Ttiv ilpnnfmfTit
ln"answcr to a question as to the neces
sity for a large tract ot land for a poor
farm, the chief said:
"A man who devotes fiis time and atten
tion for years to any business naturally
learns more about the business than any
one otherwise engaged could know. So it
is with me in the management of theVoor
Farm. I know what the paupers and the
insane need. Bpsidcs, the Board of Chari
ties has something to .say. They really
supervise the farm, not me. .Now, some
have the erroneous idea that we want a
farm for the employment of the paupers.
"Why, the majority of the pauper inmates
at the City Farm can't even peel their own
potatoes or cven"dress themselves.
Mnst Hate Work for the Insane.
It is the insane inmates, of whom wc
have more than the paupers, who must be
employed. The State Board of Charities
and the State laws require it "We could
not manage tbcm if "they had no-work. In
order to turn their labor to profitable ac
count it is necessary to have a largctract of
land. In my judgment Pittsburg should
have more than 300 ticrcs for her farm, and
I can't be swerved from that opinion. In a
few years the wisdom of this asser
tion will be apparent. I claim
I can work that large a tract
with insane pauper labor at a profit to the
city. I have done so in the past, even this
year, notwithstanding statements lo thecon
trary. A few months ago the Legislature
appropriated ?SOO,000 to build a State asy
lum for the chronic insane. Governor Pat
tison selected a committee of men specially
adapted by experience and general fitnessto
locate a site and arrange for the building.
At the first meeting of that committee they
adopted a resolution that in the selection of
a site no tract of land containing less than
500 acres would be considered. If thev to
decide why should not the same conditions
apply io Pittsburg's? Personally it mat
ters not to me whether the city buys ten or
300 acres, and if Councils choose to set aside
the purchase I have recammendedtaml order
me to try it again I am perfectly willing.
Tbat must Be decided by Councils."
Mayor Gourley yesterday continuedhis
refusal to discuss the charges alleged against
the Alexander farm purchase until the
matter comes before him in an.ordinance of
Councils. He was asked what he thought
of the size of the farm, anil said:
Gourley Wants a Small (Farm.
"I prefer not to discussiany phase of the
subject at "this time, b.itl will'vrepeat what
1 have frequently said, that Itlhinkan 100
acre farm, sufficiently large forthe purpose.
My views on that point were already set
forth in my veto message of a Poor Farm
ordinance last spring."
n the veto referred to thetMavor said he
did not believe a larger farm than 100 acres
necessary to give employment toiall the in
mates of the Qjty Home, and that crops
could not be raised sufficient'to pay a fair
interest on the investment in a-larger tract
of land.
There arc many who contend with Tnn
Disi'ATCir that i00 acres are ample for all
purposes for a Poor Farm, and as much as
can be handled withontlossito the city, as if
a pauper be able to do any amount of work
worth talking about heuieed not go to the
city home. There are people in the poor
houses whom farmers would be clad to have
f work for 50 cents a day the year around if
they would behave themselves, and in addi
tion furnish good board, washing and com
fortable beds.
County Commissioner Mercer thought it
difficult "to settle upon the value of farms,
on railways and adjacent to stations, a mile
or so from the river, but his inability, lie
acknowledged, arose from the fact "that
most people wanted more for property
when the citv or county proposed to buv it
.than they did when a private individual
was seeking tor it. Ihis condition ot at
fairs seeirs to arise out of a belief that the
public is a goose which can' stand a deal of
plucking.
Experience of the Prison Board.
An instance of this kind .is cited ii con
nection with a lot which the Prison Board
wish to buv for jail purposes. It was sold
In 1S83 for"5U,500 at Orphans.' Court sale.
The bnver offered it to the Prison Board
for f 10,503. as he said he wanted $1,000 for
hi bargain. The board at that time did
not want to buy and, it is said,
the buyer got $1,000 advance from
a private party. The Prison Board is now
offered the lot for 43,000, some 4f times
w hat would have bought it eight years ago,
and this is said to be the cheapest piece
offered in that triangle.
But a gauge of the valua of farm lands
lying contiguous to railroad stations and
within a mile or two of a river front may
be had by inspecting the offers through
real estate agents. On their list of farms
for sale Charles Somers & Co., have one of
100 acres or more near Elkhorn station.
Pittsburg. McKeesport and Bellevernon
Kailway, represented to have good im
provements, at S90 an acre. They have an
other near Bakerstown, of 50 acre's, all till
able and with good improvements at 5100
an acr". They have also one said to be
very fine land, with good ljuildings, etc.,
100 acres at $100 an acre, near the Fort
"Wayne Bailwiy, at .Economy. This farm
is ill Beaver county, but it is said that
eqnally advantageous terms can be had
in the "vicinity, but in this county, at the
same price.
Farm I.ands for SlOO an Acre.
Messrs. Somers & Co. state that there is
no demand for farm lands for farming pur
poses at more than $100 an acre. Coal or
well-developed oil bearing rock or a river
front, where a manufacturing site may be a
near or remote possibility, add, of course,
largely to value.
Aj a pointer, it may be stated tbat one of
the best farms in Moon township was sold
pome half-dozen years ago, when farming
land was worth more than now, at $l5 an
acre. It contains about 100 acre3, 80 of
which are as nearly level as any agricultur
ist would wish. It was sold a year or two
since and James "W. Drape was the pur
chaser, but as the sale was a forced one it
furnishes no data as to value.
It isquite numerously suggested that the
provision (hat a Poor Farm should have a
river front, is a "barren ideality" that lost
its force long ago. "When the farm up the
MoLongahela was bought, the river front pro
vision was significant, as there were no rail
ways, and to have done the freighting and
passenger business of the farm in wagons
would have been a hefty undertaking, but
at present the only value eiven by a river
front is the vista offorded the city's wards.
It might be argued that "as the poor are to
be K perpetuity their aesthetic, as well as
spiritual comfort should be provided for for
all time, but the idea needs popularization.
PABKS FOR TEE 60UTHSIDE.
aityor Goarley Thinks It Is Too Early
to Buy.
It is reported that an ordinance for the
Southside parks has been prepared for pre
sentation at the next council meeting pro
viding for the purchase by the city of 77
acres of land composing the J. M. Bailey
and George Kobinson farms, on top of the
hill near the head of Castle Shannon
Incline. Select Councilman John Paul is
said to be the father of the scheme. Those
favoring the purchase of this property say
it has tt J most commanding view obtain
able in the city, is easily accessible
to Southside people by the Castle
Shannon and Monongahela Indices, th:
Brownsville road and several other high
ways. The ground has been partially im
proved and will require but little work to
make it a pretty park. The question of the
cost of the grounds does not seem to have
been considered and speaking of that fea
ture of the scheme, Mayor Gourley said
last evening: '
"I am greatly in favor of parks for the
Southside, but not now. Such a thing is
really not to be thonght of until the city's
finances are in better shape and the consti
tutionality of our curative street legislation
is decided. If the Supreme Court knocks
. that prop from under our finances, wo will
not ca rcaoy to buy any more parlt property
for some years to come" "

THE
U STRAIGHTOUT MOVE.
I
Will Contest for Seats in the Next
Rational Convention.
"RUWAND OUTLINES THE PLAN.
He Has False Hopes of Getting the Support
of B. P. Jones.
A STEAIGHT0UT COMMITTEE MEETING
The Straightout Eepuhlican Executive
Committee, at a meeting yesterday after
noon, decided to continue their organiza
tion and make the claim that is the regular
Republican party of Allegheny county.
The crucial test will be made in the coming
State and National conventions, to which
delegates will be sent by both the Straight
outs and regular Republicans. It will be a
lively contest, for both parties are
fighters, and if by chance or fortune the
national convention should come to Pitts
burg, the Eepuhlican bright lights will be
treated to an Americanized Kilkenny light
among their brethren in the great' State
of Allegheny. Arch H. Eowand, as of
old, is the general in command of the
strniehout armv. In an interview yester
day be stated that the new party had more
Eepuhlican voteatthe last election than
the "ring" organization, and he thought
for that reason the National Convention
would recognize them as the Eepuhlican
delegates.
Expeot Senator Quay's Support.
When asked if the Straightouts expect
Senator Quay's support in their effort to be
recognized, Mr. Eowand drifted to another
subject Other leaden have hopes, how
ever, that C L. Magee's old rival will
come to the rescue of the Straightouts
and that his influence will, guarantee their
recognition. They hava lost no courage
through one defeat, and all were -as enthusi
astic as Mr. Eowand, who confidently in
formed The Dispatch reporter that the
Straightout delegation will contain such
men as B. F. Jones, Major"Brown, M. A".
"Woodward and C. C Dickey.
"B. F.Jones," he continued, "is a straight
out, notwithstanding declarations to the
contrary. He is net doing much talking,
but I think he will accept an election as
National delegate. Our strength will be
greatly increased by the Crawford county
system of making nominations. It is the
Iieople'.s, not the politicians', method and
ias never been adopted because Allegheny
City has more Republican votes than
Pittsburg, and that would knock out the
ring on this side of the river. On account of
the cost necessary to make a canvass being
small, I expect a great many candidates will
run for office, and when once they enter the
field they will be pledged to the party and
will e;ive it their support. The hottest fight
will be two years from now when nearly all
the connty offices will be filled."
11. F. Jones Not a straightout.
Mr. Row and was mistaken about B. F.
Jones not doing much talking. The ex
Chairman of the Republican National Com
mittee, when seen last night, was about as
talkative as Mr. Eowand himself, but he
was on the other side ot the
fence. He said lie was a straight
Republican, not a Straightout; that he had
voted the Republican ticket, and he "would
not consider n proposition to affiliate with
any organization of kickers." He did not
think it would be possible for the Straight
outs to get their delegates in the National
Convention, and said their lack of strength
was demonstrated in the last election.
At the meeting of the Straightouts yester
day the following resolution was adopted:
Whereas. Tho ticket nominated by the,
late Republicai Straightout Convention
polled a larso majority of the Republican
vote cast at tlieTecent election, and
Whereas. There is a Rencral demand from
the majority of the members of the party
from every section of the connty that our
organization do continuea as tne permanent
organization of the Republican party in
AUeghony county: therefore,
Resolved, That this committee continue to
perfe i its organization throughout the
country nnil that the Chairman and Secre
tary bo authorized to keep the headquarters
open during the coming year.
Wilt Fight for Conncllmcn.
Resolved, Tl'at it Is the senso of this com
mittee thafwir organization should take an
active part in the February elections in
every election district in the county, nnd
especially so in the cities of Pittsburg and
Allegheny.
Resolved, Tint so far as practicable clnbs
be organized in every ward of tho cities or
the county for the purpose of seeurinjr the.
electio-i of "anti-rins" members of Council,
and to this end that all taxpayers and citi
zens opposed to ling rule and rins methods
be invite-i to join tho clubs so organized,
tho desiro to seoure pood government free
from ring domination being the only requi
site for members of the ward clubs so organ

ized to issue a call for the election of .dele
gates to the National and State Republican
Conventions in the manner provided bv the
rules as soon after the calls are issued for
the holding of said convention as practica
ble. Three other resolutions were then offered
and adopted. They were:
Resolved, That a committee of nine per-,
sons be appointed by the Chairman to take
immediate action in the organization of on
Kxecntive Committee in and for the city of
1'ittsourg lor tne purpose ot conanctmg.
and managing the campaign in behalf of

Resolved, fnrther. That the committee
shall have fnll power in the selection of the
said Executive Committeo for tho city of
Pittsburg, tho members so appointed as the
Executive Committee of tho city of Pitts
burg to net until their snecessors are auly
elected at the primary elections.
Resolved, That a committee of 13 persons
be appointed by the Clmlrmau to tako ac
tion in the organization of an Executive
Committeo in and for the City of Allegheny
ana eight persons to take action m the
organization of an Executive Committee
for the city of McKeesport, the purpose to
be in accordance with tho previous resolu
tion. A resolution was also passed that prima
ries be held on the first Saturday in May
for the election of delegates to conventions
in Senatorial, Legislative and Congressional
districts, for the election of delegates to
State and National Republican Conven
tions and for members of the Straightout
Republican Committee.
The Chair will appoint the members pro
vided for in several of the resolutions prior
to the next meeting. He will also appoint
a committee to place a good man at each of
the country polling" places.
A committee was also appointed to look
after people who violated election laws at
the last eleclioc.
Controller Morrow Is Investigating.
Controller Morrow is investigating the
case of Harry Felil, an employe of the
Police Bureau, who, it is alleged, drew a
month's salary for October, but in that
month devoted his whole time to doing
political work at the Republican County
Committee's headquarters. George Miller,
Superintendent ot the Bureau of Water
Assessments, fas also down for investiga
tion on the same account, but it was found
that Mr. Miller's salary is annnal, and, ac
cording to a conrt decision, nothing can be
deducted from it for any month in which he
is on duty, even if only for one day.
Will Join the M. 31. P. U.'
Samuel Beatty; leader of the Montooth
Band, stated yesterday that the organiza
tion would join the M. M. P. U. instead of
the Musicians' Assembly of the K. of L.,
as has been reported. The band does not
at present belong to any labor organization.
Mr. Beatty wishes it understood that the
Montooth Band is not taking any part in
the trouble among the musicians, and that
it is joining the M. M P. U. through a be
lief that it is the proper organization for
musicians, and not because ofany ill feel
ing toward the K. of L.
PZTTSBUKG- DISPATCH,
TEE M0THEE 0BJECT8.
A jLove Story as Told in an Alderman's
Office.
Alderman McKenna's office was packed
with Italians yesterday afternoon at the
hearing'in the'ease of Margaret Kelly ver
sus Peter Antonia .for wantonly pointing
fire arms. The case took up considerable
time as the' defendant and his witnesses
could speak little English, and-their inter
preter was not a good one. In addition to
this quite an interesting story was brought
out by the testimony.
For some time past Antonia, it is said,
has been paying court to Miss Kelly and
won her consent to their marriaee. Several
times he called to Bee Miss Kelly at her
home in Sharpsburg, but was refused admit
tance by Mrs. Kelly." On last Monday Mrs.
Kelly says Antonia'met her in Sharpsburg
and pointed a' revolver at her.- Antonia, the
said, made her understand that unless she
consented to his marriage with her daughter,
Lizzie, he'would kill her at once. She was
badly frightened and promised that the mar
riaee could take place in a few days.
Antonia said he never carried a revolver
five minutes, and denied nil knowledge of
Mrs. Kelly's allegations. To offset this
Mrs. Kelly" had two of Antonia's country
men swear that they had often seen him
with a revolver. The attorneys interested
in the case endeavored to have it settled by
having the suit withdrawn aud allowing the
couple, to get married. Mrs. Kellv would
not have it this way because she had too
good a case against Antonia, and wanted
him held for court.
ELECTEIC CAB KEATEES.
A Now Apparatns to 13 Tried on tho Penn
nylvnnia Limited.
T. D. Cassanane and other officers of the
Pennsylvania road were in Chicago the
other day looking at an electric heater with
a view of placing it on the limited. W. R.
Mason, ,"an electric supply man of
the "Windy City, says the heaters
are in use on a number
of street railways, and the result is very
satisfactory. There is less scorching of ear
ceilings, and fewer men are required to at
tend them. . "With tho ordinary stove a snp
ply of coal must he laid in, and the brake
men are kept busy feeding tte fires. Under
tne electric pion it doesn c require more
than about three minutes per day to keep
a switch in order, and on electric roads the
heat is supplied from the power houses
through the agency of electricity.
The problem of heating ''railroad cars
has not yet been solved. The aim is to get
rid of the deadly stoves which are forbid
den by law in some States. The limited is
lighted by electricity and the electrio heater
can oe very easily applied. At present
thisktrainsJieated by steam from the en
gine, but when it is unattached the cars be
come cold. At the Union station they
keep the cars warm with steam from the
f boilers until the engines arc connected wiih
the tram. The time is coming when all
trains will be illuminated, heated and run
ihy electricity.
SIB EDWIN AEHOLD COKING.
The
"World-Famed Poet Going to Yislt
Pittsburg Next Month.
"When the announcement was made that
Sir Edwin Arnold, the famed author of "The
Light of Asia," would visit America, it was
supposed that he would confine his visit
to New York, Boston and the so-called lit
erary centers. The Press Club, upon hear
ing that he would give a few readings, made
an effort to secure him, and succeeded. He
will be here December 3, and appear in
Carnegie Music Hall. The Press Club re.
gards Sir Edwin as'thegreatest attraction it
has ever offered to the public.
"Wherever Sir Edwin has appeared on the
platform he has agreeably surprised his au
dience. His readings, and his talks be
tween, are pronounced delightful. He is a
handsome fellow, fully six feet tallwell
built and graceful'in manner. He 'visited
the good, gray poet, "Walt AVhitman, the
other day. Their meeting was affecting, as
they are'the warmest of friends, and Sir
Edwin regards AVhitman as the greatest
poet the New World has produced, except
Kmmcrson. Among those present at the
meeting was John Russell Young, who says
the two crcat poets formed a picture such
as is not often seen.
PITTSBURG IN EARNEST.
A Fund for the National Convention
Started Work in the Bight Direction.
Money talks. While ' the other cities
reaching out for the Republican National
Convention are preparing to advertise their
advantages Pittsburg steps to tho front
with solid comfort for the delegates. Yes
terday at an impromptu gathering of the
newspaper proprietors the matter of hold
ing the convention in this city was talked
over, and as an earnest of Pittsburg's in
tentions each one present' subscribed $1,000
to the entertainment fund. A majority of
the newspapers was represented, and as
surances warrant the statement all will fol
low suit.
The fund will undoubtedly be added to
by the contributions of all interests that
have the welfare of the citv at heart. Those
on the outside who are inclined to look
upon Pittsburg's claims lightly will now
bestir themselves. But as this city is the
first to move in the right direction," its call
should not and will not be ignored. Progres
sive citizens shonld'raake haste to swell the
convention fund and tell the nation that
the birthplace of the Republican party is
leady to entertain as well as invite.
Special Delivery Improvements.
For the benefit of persons' mailing special

Anarchists Meet in Memory of the
Haymarket Murders.
THE ' SIGNIFICANT DECORATIONS.
All tho Speakers Approved of Bomb Throw
ing as a Pastime.
AUGUST SPIES -HELD UP AS A MARTYR
A meeting in memory of the Anarchists
hanged in Chicago on November
11, 1887, for the murderous Hay
market riots in that city on the night of
May 4, 1886, was held last night at La
fayette Hall. About 500 people attended.
The audience looked fairly intelligent. A
number of women were in the gathering.
They had with them their children, from
the squeaky-voiced babo to the noisy boy of
5 years.
Over the stage was hung an emblem
stretching across the entire front of the hall.
On the black oilcloth was printed in large
white letters the followinc extract from
August Spies' speech at Chicago, on No
vember 11, 1887. It read:
"There will be a time when our silence
will be more powerful than the voices you
are strangling to-day."
A huge black flag floated from the left of
the stage, while on the right a red flag was
spread. Directly under the black flag was
a crayon ot A. R. Parsons. On the opposite
side was a picture of August Spies, and
suspended lroin the first gallery were tho
pictures of George Engel, A. Fischer and
Lewis Lingg, who w ere hanged at ChicagoNo
vembcr 11, 1SS7. From the second stoge in
the rear of the hall the huge folds of the
Anarchists' favorite emblem floated overthe
audience, and all seemed content and com
fortable under its shadow. Prof. Pfann
kngh's orchestra furnished the music,
and when they reeled off "Annie
Laurie" with rare, delightful melody the
audience applauded liberally.
Deep Curse for Chimgo.
Hy Wcismann, of New York, was the
first speaker. He talked in broken English.
He said the nation had a Thanksgiving Day
and the Anarchists had a day observed in
every civilized nation of the world for curs
ing and condemning the murderers of Spies
and his fellows. He attacked the
pres3 of the " United States, and
declared that the police force of
Chicago was the rottenest on earth.
The speaker said the World's Fair in Chi
cago would not be a success on account of
the police of that city, and he charged
Mayor Washburne. of Chicago, with being
a coward and a traitor, who is being influ
enced by political ambitions. He re
ferred to Spies and his comr'des
as martyrs to the canse of labor,
and told of the rousing protests
that have been made by the work
ing people of the world against their kill
ing. He predicted that two decades will
not pass before the principal cities of the
United States will not have halls large
enough to hold the people who will gather
to commemorate the memory of the An
archists hanged for the Chicago riot. Mr.
Weismann declared without the color of
his face changing that all tho rights guaran
teed to American citizens by the Constitu
tion are theoretical, apd be argued that a
free Government or a republic is not possi
ble where the great army of laborers is com
pelled to work from 12 to 14 hours a day.
lie denounced the late William L. Scott for
his theories on the labor problem, and he
said the late riots in the coke country fn
which 11 strikers were killed were the
natural results of the teachings of 3Ir.
Scott
Applauded Boom Throwing.
In a forcible burst of language Mr. Weis
mann applauded the throwing of the fatal
boom tit the Chicago riots and insisted that
the rioters had the right to defend them
selves against the police. He attacked the
jury that convicted the Anarchists and said
they had been bought by capitalists. He
contended that if capital employs officers
to kill workiugmen the workiiigmen had
the same right to kill and murder, nnd in
conclusion he said the Pyramids of Egypt
will have crumbled in the dust long before
the memory of Spies and his companions is
forgotten.
Robert Steiner followed in a German
speecli. He repeated the ideas advanced by
Mr. Wcismann. as did also Fred Chonra,
who delivered a short speech in Bohemian.
Julins BrinkholT followed with a recitation
in German and the band played the Mar
seillaise, and the audience arose and chat
tered in a dozen different tongues.

TOO MUCH PIG IB0N.
Mr. Darley Thinks the Furnacemen Ocght
to Shut Down Awhile
E. Q. Darley, the Southern representative
of J. P. Witherow & Co., went South last
evening. He says the firm will be able to
pay all its debts if the creditors are not
too eager and are willing to give the
Company a little time. In the last
few years much of their work has been
building furnaces in the South. Money is
very tight in that section, and collections
are consequently slow. The business is
safe enough, but the Southern capitalists
are not in a position to'pay promptly. Mr.
Darley says the Southern furnaces and iron
mills tire working, but they haven't much
ready money to go on.
"Thcpigiron business is overdone at
present," he continued. "At the rate of
production for last week the output of the
country for the year would be 9,500,000
tons. The consnnmtion is not eaual to this
amount and the only tiling for the furnace-.
men to do is to stop awhile until tne con
sumption catches up. Pig iron is
dirt t cheap, .and will continue
to be so until the conditions
are changed. The owners of furnaces are
running now under the impression that the
demand for iron will be better after Janu
ary 1, hut I fail to see on what they base
their hopes."
HAD A GOOD YEAR'S BUSINESS.
Mr. Hill Snys Free Trade Wouldn't Hnrt
Western Sower Pipe Makers.
D. E. Hill, President of the Akron Sewer
Pipe Company, registered at the Anderson
last evening. He was on his way lo look
after his interests at Huntingdon.
Mr. Hill saysthey about are closing up
their business for the season, and it
has been a prosperous year for sewer
pipe makers. He thought if the tariff on
their product should be taken off that it
would not affect the trade in the West. , A
large quantity of sewer pipe would be
landed in the" seaboard cities, but it would
not find its way into the interior.
Mr. Hill knows McKinley very well. He
remarked that the Major would "not accept
second place on the Republican ticket. If
he is not wanted to run for the Presidency
in 1892, he can wait for four jears more, but
it would be foolish for him to bury himself
in the minor position. Mr. Hill thinks that
Sherman will be re-elected.
CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
Harry Jones Borrows a Horse to Give Hi
"sweetheart a Kide.
Yesterday afternoon a small, business
like colored boy entered McVay's livery
stable, Allegheny, and said he had been
sent after the horse and buggy of S. N.
Hofstott: His request was granted. A
short time after Mr. Hofstott called at the
stable on a similar errand. He was told
abont the colored boy and denied that he
had sent him.
The Pittsburg and Allegheny police
were immediately notified. Last evening the
missing vehicle was noticedon Wylie avenue.
It was stopped and the boy arrested and sent
to the Eleventh ward police station. There
was a girl in the buggy named Wagoner,
and she was also sent to the station bat was
released. The name of the boy is Harry
Jones, and subsequently he was indentified
as the boy who had taken the horse and
buggy from the stable in Allegheny.
Demand Bntterworth's Dismissal.
As was announced in The Dispatch
yesterday, the Columbus Club met and
passed a set of resolutions denouncing Hon.
Benjamin Bntterworth and demanding his
removal from the Secretaryship of the
World's Fair Commission. The resolutions
were passed because of a speech made by
Mr. Bntterworth at Chicago a short time
ago, in which he denounced the Catholics
and spoke disrespectfully of the Pope.
Another Charge Against Leach.
P. C. Rolands, the East End stockman,
yesterday preferred another charge of em
bezzlement against Nicholas D. Leach be
fore Alderman King, of the Southside. A
commitment was also lodged against him at
the jail. This information accuses Leach of
embezzling several thousand dollars.

Sunday, were each fined ?25 and costs.

on time ours, being the only spot cash oner,
was accepted. Did we buy them cheap ?
Well, we are presumptions enough to think

KEFUSES TO EXPLAIN.
Chief Brown Will Ifot Say Why
ligonier Stone Was Used..
IS NEARLY TWICE AS EXPENSIVE.
Exact Wording of That Oakland Tatrol
Station Contract
KIESMEYER MAKES ANOTHER CHAEGEl
Contractor Riesmeycr's allegations pub
lished in The Dispatch yesterday with
regard to extra work on No 4 patrol station,
created a lively furore among city officials.
When Chief Brown was asked why Lig
onier stone was used when sandstone
was a great deal eheaper, ho would
make no reply. Several other questions
were asked, but the responses were not
any more satisfactory than a schoolboy's
"because." He finally gave out the infor
mation th3t he had nothing to say and then
proceeded to carry out the determination
with the skillof a deaf mute.
Architect Bickle admitted that Ligonier
cost about twice as mnch as sandstone. He
said before the station was built he hsd
been asked to give his opinion of Ligonier
stone for building purposes, and found after
having it dressed and polished that it
would do very well. Riesmeyer, he
says, cannot collect extra money because
Ligonier was the kind of stone mentioned
in the specifications. The part referred to
reads as followsr "AH stone of the entire
front of the bnilding shall be Ligonier stone,
free Of any defects, and uniform in color
and of approved quality. All other stone
Beaver connty sandstone, and all cut, set
and jointed in the best manner, the front
jointed in approved red mortar and rounded
joints."
The specifications for paving reads as fol
lows: "The Neuchatel, Cysaalrock or any
other approved pavement shall be put
on to the thickness of one inch in the
best manner, scored to prevent slipping of
horses." Mr. Bickle claims the words "ap
proved pavement" meant approved bjr the
owner or architect and he says he notified
Riesmeypr before work was commenced
tbat he would not approve the kind Ries
meyer proposed using and which was after
wards laid.
Riesmeyer claims that he will pay all his
sub-contractors. He maintains that it was
represented to him that common building
stone was to be nsed, and that he was prom
ised extra pay for using Ligonier.

One of the played'out ideas in storekeep
ing is that a merchant can make money
and reputation by misrepresenting value's
in advertisements. The fight nowadays is
to earn repniations for reliability to sell
?;oods low, not high. To seethe result of this
atter svstem you need only visit Thornton
Bros.' Cash Store, Allegheny. The effort
there is to get waited on. They advertise
this week some crowd-bringing values.
