C March 29. ( "While they could not excuse the plain' breach of faith of Speaker Crisp in his action toward the free coinage men, the number of excellent citizens' who yesterday hoped that the last had been heard of the now tiresome subject, could hardly be ex pressed in figures. These men, lively with hope yesterday, are sad to-day at the pros pect of a revival of the supposed corpse in the Senate, and probably also in the House. Mr. Bland and his friends made a great effort to work themselves into a frenzy over the action of the Speaker last evening, and so far succeeded as to determine to renew their efforts to secure signatures to the pe tition required by Speaker Crisp before he will vote for it in the Committee on Bules, Including the provisions against filibuster ing, demanded by the silver men. The work began this morning in earnest. A. few of the most active free coinage men went about quietly with duplicate petitions, and succeeded beyond their own expecta tions. At 4 o'clock they had rounded ont 100 names of members who demanded clo ture and a vote on the silver bill, and Jlr. Bland's face beamed as it has not for sev eral days. Great Doubt as to Its Success. About 15 additional names are needed. and the irrepressibles hope to have these before to-morrow evening. If they are suc cessful in securing a sufficient number of names, which is yet very doubtful, it is questionable if the bill can be passed. It has lost Its power to inspire, and Demo crats who would have feared to vote against it one week ao will now upon a final test record themselves in the negative, and square themselves with their constituents by showing the tremendous opposition to the measure within the party. As for Mr. Bland, he professes not to care so much whether the bill passes as to place Demo crats on record. He is anxious to know the exact strength of free coinage among the Democrats of the House; to show the dis tricts in which free coinage is strongest; to prove that it is a vital principle with the Democrats in Democratic States, and in Republican States which have in recent Years shown a strong disposition to drift into the control of the Democrats, and thus force a substantial recognition of free coin age npon the National Democratic Conven tion. A Dose of Free Silver for Senators. No matter what may be the outcome of the canvass now beinsr made in the House, we are to have a dose of free silver in the Senate, which will be less welcome than it would be at the other end of the capitoi, as speeches in the Senate are always longer and more tiresome than in the House. Sen ator Stewart is determined to force his free coinage bill on the Senate next week. It will be interesting solely because, if it be brought to a vote, it will place Senators on record. The Republican Senators are indifferent on this point. Their position is well known. A very few of them will support a free silver bill, as thev did two vears ago probably not so manv of them as at that time. It is doubtful If Senator Cameron -will again be found ranged on that side. He was hauled over the coals so effectually two years agoand made such a narrow escape of getting himself mixed up in a scheme to speculate in silver, by purchasing the metal, voting for the bill, and then selling at the advanced price, that he will be very thoughtful before he decides again to sup port a bill to bull the silver market. Hill Between the Millstones. Cameron was the only Eastern Repub lican who voted for free silver two years ago. Sentiment since that time has become crystallized, and it may be" safely predicted that not only will there be no Eastern Re publicans on that side at this time, but that Eastern Democrats will find it Vastly more difficult to satisfy their constituents now if they support free silver than then. Hill is between the upper and the nether millstones. Either way he will be ground to pieces. The unanimity ot New York Dem ocrats in the House against the Bland bill shows that it will be iatal for Hill Jo sup port free coinage, though his expressions of a few weeks ago were favorable to that view. To oppose free coinage would simply make him a second fiddler to Cleveland. Gorman will almost certainly oppose free silver, and Gray, of Delaware, and McPher Kon and Blodgett, of 25ew Jersey, cannot be counted with any degree of certainty lor the Stewart bill. The vote of Representative Wilson, of "West "Virginia, on the Bland bill, may be accepted as a reflection of the best senti ment ot that state, and therefore Eaulkener and Kenna, the "West Virginia Senators, may possibly be found in line with the anti-silver men. It is almost certain, there fore, that free siHer will be found to have lost in strength in the Senate, since a so called free coinage bill was passed by a ma jority of five or six in the Fifty-first Con gress, and the passage of such a bill by the Senate is very doubtful. As has been said, however, it will be interesting to have the. Senators placed on record, especially as it might result in a funeral of the hopes of more than one Presidental aspirant. The Ncttlcton Investigation. The charges of Assistant Secretary Net tletont of the Treasury Department, against Superintendent of Immigration Owen in the Ellislslandinvestigation.to-day have created more comment than eveo the developments of the Raum investigation of the last few days. Mr. Nettleton charges unfitness, in competency, untrustworthiness in the per formance ot his official duties, careless handling of public funds, persistent at tempt to secure the payment ot a false voucher, crooked awards of bids, etc. Mr. Owen is an ex-member of Congress from Indiana, and by profession was a Campbellite clergyman. He stood high in the House, and his appointment bv Pi-un dent Harrison to the new office of Superin tendent of Immigration was thought to be a very shrewd act as the Campbellites are so strong a political power in Indiana. Mr. Owen was ambitiods, however, and signal ized his entrance into office by the speedy deliverance of an opinion upon an impor tant question which should have emanated only from the Secretary, or his assistant, Nettleton. Ever since that time there has been bad blood between Owen and Nettleton, and the unpop ularity of the latter everywhere in the public service where he is known ha smade Owen's annoyance of him somewhat wel come. Mr. Nettleton's 'letter to the Secre tary, under date of yesterday, making formal charges against Owen, and which was read to the investigating committee to day, will probably bring the quarrel to a climax, .and persons who know Owen's in fluence with his church in Indiana) and that that influence secured his appoint ment, are curious to see what the President will do in the matter. It looks as though there has been a vast deal of loose work in relation to Ellis Island, for which Secretary Poster or his assistant Nettleton is respon. slble, and that Owen is to be made a scape goat. Status or the Erie Canal Bill. Of the many bills introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Rivers and Harbors, providing for surveys for ship canals, only three have been reintroduced and referred to the Committee on Railways and Canals, which is their proper reference. One is the Dalzell bill for the ship canal from Lake Erie to the Ohio at Beaver, an other for the canal ontbe United States side around Niagara Falls, and the other from Lakej Ontario to the Hudson at Troy. ChairmantBIaochard, of the Committee on Rivers and Harbors, has given notice that no attention will be paid to bills lor ship canals referred to his committee, and there fore Mr. Dalzell and the New York mem bers introducing the Niagara and Ontario measures promptly withdrew their bills from the Blanchard Committee, and had them referred to the only committee from which there was anything to be hoped. Representative Cat chines, of Mississippi, Chairman of Railways and Canals, has been so fully occupied with the Committee on Rules and the silver bill that practically nothing has been done by his committee, and he is unable to say what action will be taken in the canal bills. He intimates, however, that at least the Niagara, the Dntario, Hudson, and possibly the Erie Beaver bills, may be favorably reported. So far as eanjbe learned the committee favors the Erie-Beaver scheme before any other of the several proposed for uniting Lake Erie with the Ohio. Quay Fleased With a Popular Tote. Senator Quay received a telegram from Kittanning to-day informing him that his majority on the popular vote for Senator in Armstrong county will reach 1.800. and nat urally he is greatly elated at this unex pected increase over the first reports. He declares himself to be greatly pleased with the plan of popular expression of sentiment at the polls, as it will in many instances prevent criticism of the action of members of the Legislature in theirvotes for Senator next winter. He seems to feel certain of having a majority in nearly every county of iireouue. -ine senator lert this evening lor a visit at his Beaver home. Postmaster Gilleland was here to-day and called upon the Postmaster General, with Representative Stone, to secure relief lrom the payment of the 500 shortage of Assist ant Postmaster Myler. Mr. AVanamaker re jected all suggestions of non-payment, in sisting that every dollar due the Govern ment must be made good, and Mr. Gilleland went home feeling glad that he still holds his official position. Lightner. PEOPLE'S PARTY PLEASED. nine Happy Men In the Lower House of Congress Mr. Watson Says the Demo cratic Shelving of the Sliver Bill Will Help Ihe Alliance to Carry States. "WASlUNGTOif, March 29. Perhaps the most jubilant members in the House just now are the nine People's party Congress men, who rejoice in the discomfiture of the Democratic party, and proclaim that the failure of the Democratic House to pass the free coinage bill means that the People's party will carry six or eight States in this coming campaign. Representative "Watson, the leader of the People's party, to-night said: This action In the House on tho Hllver Mil ls the death fcnell of the old Democratic organization. Hundreds of thousands of voters In the Southern States have felt that If financial relief could be had, Democracy as now organized would give that relief If it had a cbanoe. H"lth a malority of 148 In tho nuuie oi .uepresencatives, it certainly had a chance to pass the tree silver hill. It failed to do it. It was only by the help of nine People's party members and 11 Republicans that this immense Democratic majority escaped a Waterloo. Consequently the most conservative Democrat In the South knows now that Democratic majorities wielded under the present organization mean absolutely nothing so far as nrnrtlrn! lcirto. latlon is concerned. No power on earth can now keep Georgia from going into the electoral college with the People's party delegation. I confidently believe the same is true of several other Southern States. What the Democrats may do with tho silver hill heieafter, is compara tively unimportant They have had their opportunity. They had their majority, with 19 outside votes to help them. They were absolutely unable to pass such a very mild measure of reform as Mr. Bland's silver bill, which only pni ports to add 30 cents per capita to the circulating medium. I have never ceased to claim that tho Alliance de mands, upon whloh the People's party was founded, were true Jeffersonlan principles. I claim that to-day. But I believe now that the Immense majority of the Democrats all over the South will come to our party as the truest exponents of the Jeffeisoniau princl- Jile of the ru'e of the people as against the lamtlton doctrine of the rule ot money and of the classes. Let it never he forgotten that Mr. Boutelle, of Maine, a Republican, asKcdthe Tammany Democrats to stop filibustering on tho bill, and challenged the Democratic House to come at once to a direct vote on the bill itself. That challenge was refused, and re fused by Democrats. In other word, a mag nificent Democratic niajonty of 148 round Itself absolutely powerless to legislate upon party is committed and upon which they nave sought and obtained votes. We who .... uiv,(muio ui iuiuiui tu wiiicii ineir swung loose from the Democratic party claimed that Northern and Eastern Demo crats had no real sympathy with our people but w.ere as much under the domination or the money power as the Eepublicans of the North and East After the vote or list Thursday night no man will ever be able to successfully deny that proposition. A NEW HOSPITAL. The ladies' Aid Society or the Southside Institution Will Erect a Bnlldins tooklnc for a Site Candidates for the Secretaryship. The annual meeting of the Ladies' Aid Society of the Southside Hospital will take place next Tuesday afternoon, in St. Mark's Guild House. The principal business will be the election of officers for the ensuing year. The board of managers think that there will not be any change. The present officers give entire satisfaction, and the feelihg is that they should not be dis turbed. The societv of ladies was organ ized last April, and since it has been in ex istence it has turned over to the hospital board, consisting of the doctors con nected with the institution, ?850, leaving 59,000 in their own treasury for the building fund. It will take 540,000 to put up the new hospital building, and it is expected that the other 531,000 will be raised by popular subscription. Messrs. A. H. Heisy and John L. Lewis, of the South side, have started subscriptions among the men in their establishments, and do not ex pect to experience much difficulty in rais ing the required sum. Everybody in the two cities is requested to subscribe. The committee appointed to select a site for the new hospital has not reported yet, but il is determined that the building shall be on the flat, and not on any of the hills on the South side. It was rumored some time ago that the committee were considering the propri ety of purchasing the Allen school building, but the ladies of the society declare that the story was utterly baseless. The Directors of the Southside Hospital met last night and passed resolutions of respect on the death of their late Secretary, "Wallace J. Frost. The election of a sue cessor will be held at the next regular meeting of the directors. Albert Reisfar, of the Howard-Hartley Company; Bert Rossitor and John E." Cook, the latter of the Southside Gas Company, have offered their services gratis, and a selection will, probably be made from these three to fill" the position. It is thought Mr. Reisfar will be elected. Rnmon of Another McKlrdy Suit. It was rumored in Allegheny last even, ing that a charge of perjury had been made against Auditor McKirdy. Aldermen Schellman, Braun, Ifeille, McNulty and McKelvey were seen, but none of them had received such an information. Mr. Mc Kirdy said he knew nothing of such a charge.

It has taken a considerable amount of time and no little work to render the speci fications of the Pennsylvania State Building satisfactory -to the National Committee in Chicago and to the Pennsylvania State Board of Managers. At length, however, matters have been definitely adjusted. Some months ago the design of Mr. Thomas P. Lonsdale, of Philadelphia, was accepted. Since then, however, numerous modifica tions have been made in the original plans relating to the construction of the dome and to the interior decorations and finish ings of the structure. It is very generally known that the build M'KEESPORT SINGED. A Handsome Church and Other Bnlldlngs Burned School Children Saved by Cool Heads The Origin of the Fire Very Peculiar Loss S40.000. NcKeesport, March 29. operfa!. A 540,000 fire occurred here at 3 p. m. to-day which destroyed the pretty new church of the Coursin Street M. E. congregation, which cost 525,000, and three fine frame dwellings and a stable, besides damaging several other buildings. The fire depart ment could not cope with the conflagration and up to the time it was reinforced by the department from the National Tube Works and the "W. Dewees. Wood Company it looked as though from 20 to 30 houses would be consumed. At 3:30 when twenty buildings along Coursin street, Fifth ave nue and the hrllside were burning, Mayor Tilbrook wired to Pittsburg for assistance. At 4:30, however, the flames were stayed, and the order was countermanded. The origin of the fire is peculiar. The church, a large brick structure, is located in front of a stone quarry, a few feet from Fifth avenue and faces ou Coursin street. At the rear, on the blufF,about 50 feet aboe the church roof, is a row of five two-story buildings owned by John A. Shaw. The corner one, occupied by John H. Hill, be gan to slide down hill about 2:45, and fell between the quarry wall and the church, a distance of about 60 feet. As the building fell a crash followed. The fire in the house set the building on fire and the flames pene trated the church. In a few minutes its interior and the three adjoining buildings were ablaze. Nothing but a few chairs and an organ were saved in the church. A panic occurred when the schoolbouse, containing 1,000 pupils, caught. The princi pal and teachers, however, quieted the little ones and averted loss of life. The Hill family got out of their home just before it slid into the quarry. Their escape was miraculous. Mr. -Shaw's loss is 53,000 on theUhree houses, on which he had 51,500 insurance. The church was insured for 520,000 as fol lows: Phomix, of Brooklvn, 55,000; Gir ard, Philadelphia, 55,000; Union, Philadel phia, 55,000; People's, Pittsburg, 55,000. Jhere is a mortgage of 510,000 onthe church, held by a Philadelphia syndicate of heirs, while the floating debt is 54,000, thus leaving the congregation but 56.000. Rev. GeoTge Arbin is the pastor, and had a large and wealthy congregation. During the ex citement a fireman was badly cut by glass and several others were injured, but none seriously.

Now work will be pushed rapidly and the building will be at least partially occupied by October 14.

An Even Half Dozen Injured Ones Be- ported and One Man Killed. An unknown found dead on the railroad, and the others were accidents of a minor nature. The list follows: Qeipfijt J. M. Giifiln, Manager of a drug store on Carson street, between South Thirteenth and South Fourteenth streets, met with a peculiar accident last night. He was cleaning out a drawer containing a lot of paper labels. When he had removed all the labels he tiied to blow the dust from the bottom of the drawer. The latter contained a mixture of compounds which flew into his face and eyes burning him so that it is leared he may loose both eyes. They were greatly swollen at a late hour last night and Mr. Griffln had retired and no one could see him. Umchowx The lemains of an unknown weie lound on the Foit Wayne tracks near Dlxmont station.

Ills leg was burned so badly that amputa tion will be necessary. Thomas Steven Thotras, employed aCtho Braddock Wire Works, was sti uck by a belt that flew off the pulley yesterday morning. Ills aim was broken and he was'injuied In tel nally. Nixoir Henry Nixon, an employe at Car negie's mill at Braddock, had hlB arm crushed and broken by having a heavy bar of iron fall on it.

The granting of new licenses gives lise to the question, where will all the new ones buy their lager beer? The most of them will buy from the Iron City Brewing Company. This is the largest brewery, with an an nual capacity of 250,000 barrels. Their lager beer, pilsner beer and bock beer are favorites with the people, and are sold everywhere. No licensed house can draw abetfer beer trade than by using the Iron City Brewing Company's beer, formerly Frauen heim & Vilsack. If weak, languid, sallow and sirk, use Bisque ot Beef herbs and aromatics. THE ALLEGHENY BRAHCH41FFJCE OF THE DISPATCH AT 107 FEDERAL ST. Is open every day except Sunday nntll O F. M.

A DELEGATE WHO KICKED HAKD. Harrity Slapped dt Several County Gather ings of Democrats. QUAI'S MAJORITY 1,746 IN ARMSTRONG rfPICIAL TILIORAlt TO THE DISPATCK.l Cleabi'hsi.d, March 29. The Republi can County Convention met here to-day in pursuant ot a call issued by Chairman HcQuown, Quay's right bower in Clearfield county. It was given out some time ago that the meeting would be a regular old time love feaat, and the regulars expected the machine to work in just the same old way. About noon all the delegates were on hand, and all visited the Journal office. . No opposition was visible on the surface, and the different lieutenants were instructed in their duties, and each coached thoroughly in his part. At 1 o'clock the convention gathered in the Court Bouse, and in a few moments was called to order by Chairman McQnown, politically better known here as McQuay, who stated the object of the convention, and counseled harmony, etc. As per pre vious arrangements, a yonng Quay admirer, "SV. L Shaw, of Houtzdale, was nominated for permanent chairman, and at once Mc Quown's man Friday from DuBois moved that Mr. Shaw be elected by acclamation. This was done, and Shaw started out to de liver his extemporaneous speech from his carefully prepared notes. His first burst of eloquence ended in a ereat effort in which he compared the lone fisherman of Beaver to ihe Twelve Apostles, and some indiscreet delegate asked whether he meant Peter or Judas. A Call for the Prisoner. His next great deliverance brought forth enthusiastic cheers, when in speaking of Quay's many great deeds he addressed the regulars as "Gentlemen of the jury." At this point another anti-Quayite called for the prisoner. "When Shaw concluded, the election of State delegates was next in order, and the three men selected by McQuay three weeks ago were elected by acclamation. They are Dr. Currier, Lewis Epply and J. B. Hed ding, all good, safe Quay men. A resolu tion was then adopted instructing the dele gates to vote for Judge Dean, of Blair, for the Supreme bench on the first ballot,unless thev were otherwise ordered to vote for Judge White by Mr. Quay. Jesse E. Dale was then selected as national delegate, and a few sops were thrown out in the shape of alternates. Just at this time Mr. Swoope reported the resolutions written in the Jbarnaroffice. They were of the usual sort, "pointing with pride," "viewing with alarm," etc., etc., and were loudly applauded until that part ex tolling the great virtues of Senator Quay was reached. Then something seemed to drop, but the leaders applauded and the rest ditto, except a few contrary delegates who looked glum. A Man Who Came to Kick. Mr. Swoope concluding, Delegate George S. Hughes, of Clearfield, got the floor and made a regular kick. It was kick from start to finish, and the bosses looked blue, but it was no use. Hughes got into the convention under protest, and he went there to kick without telling anybody just what he intended to do, but he scored Quay hard. He said he admired Mr. Quay for the good things he had accomplished in be half of the party, but he, for one Republi can, could not swallow so much bad with so little good. He believed in United States Senators representing somebody in that august assembly, and chal lenged any man present to refute the state ment that Quay did nothing but misrepre sent his constituency. He knew full well hii position would not be indorsed in the convention, but he had the sweet satisfac tion of knowing, as every other man there knew, that the Republican voters of Clear field county, outside of the postmasters who made up that convention, were against Quay and his methods, and that if the people could talk there it would be a cold day for a Quay resolution. "When Hughes finished Swoope explained that he knew what he was there for, and he believed the rest of the delegates did also. The resolutions were then adopted, with a few dissenting votes. Hughes' kick caused a great amount of comment here to-night The Quay people are much chagrined, as they claim Hughes promised not to say any thing when spoken to on the subject earlier in the day. He says if the Journal attacks his course he will defend his position in the Democratic papers of the country. BABBITT GETS IT IN THE HECK. The New Democratic Committee In Phila delphia Gives Him a Utile Swipe. Philadelphia, March 29. At a full meeting of the Democratic Committee of Philadelphia county, held this evening, George McGowen in the chair, the commit tee appointed to examine into the conduct of the January primary elections prior to the organization of ihe committee reported that they found numerous instances of de liberate and studied frauds, and that the Harrity City Committee has certified to the election of a number of persons as delegates to the State Convention who were not honestly, duly or legally elected.

The Democratic County Committee met to day to select a date for holding the county convention and to elect delegates to the State Convention. The contest was the most bitter ever waged here. Harrity had sent B. Y. Hamsher, of the State Depart ment, and "Wm. Kennedy, of the "World's Fair Commission, to look after the interests of the administration. The lines were closely drawn between the administration and anti-administration factions. Each put up five delegates. Thirty-live of the 36 committeemen were present.
