1IIET PUT THE rAETOF SECOND FIDDLE
Pittsburg glas manufacturer! seem per
fectly satisfied to play second fiddle to the
little city of Toledo, O., in the matter of
givins; a working exhibit of their plants at
the World's Fair. "Word was received here
yesterday that the exclusive right to manu
facture and sell cut, blown and
molded glassware had been let to
the Libby Glass Company, whose
works arc located at Findlay. The com
pany agrees to erect a plant at a cost of
$75,000. The building will be constructed
almost entirely of Rlas and steel, and will
be lit up with electric lights, and no doubt
will present a beautiful spectacle by day
and night.
A member of the commission said that
the contract had been let to the highest
bidder. The plan had been properly sent
out, but they had not had time to go deeply
into the matter. Everybody has had a fair
show and there was no discrimination against
Pittsburg, or any other place, for that mat
ter. "But don't you suppose some of these
Pittsburg men who have millions of dollars
invested in this business would have been
glad to erect a S7f,00U building or a S175.000
one, for that matter, in return lor such a
valuable privilege, besides giving the com
pany equally as great a percentage of their
receipts?"
"Perhaps so, yes, but we bad no time to
search the country over for sucli offers as
that made by the Libby company. "We
accepted its terms because they were the
best ofiered.
IJbby Ilad to ray a Fancy Price.
"They give us 25 per cent of the gross
receipts, besides paying all the expense of
putting up the building, as well as all other
items of necessary expenditure in connec
tion with the exhibit"
"Then all other manufacturers will not
only be forbidden to sell glassware on the
grounds, but they will as well be prevented
from making exhibits showing how their
goods are manufactured."
"Well, no, I wouldn t say that exactly.
Of course, they will be prevented from
making sales, but they can possibly put in
manufacturing plants, if the chief of this
department sees fit to allow them so to do.
But still I do not think he will. It would
hardly be fair to allow an outsider to come
in and make a manufacturing exhibit alter
the Libby company has paid so handsomely
for the privilege. If I were the head of the
Libby company I would seriously protest
against any such encroachment
"I think the Libbys will be the only
manufactory on the grounds. One curious
thing is that the glass men appear to be the
only ones who suffer in this way. It is more
than probable, however, that the members
of the Ways and Means Committee see the
danger of pursuing further the policy they
have mapped out in regard to the class
manufacturers. If carried out it would
make the several departments of manufact
ure huge commercial advertising schemes
for the benefit of a few firms.
Glass Men Till! Softer.
'That the glass men of Pittsburg and
other cities will suffer cannot be doubted,
and it is only to be feared that those who
have been shut out will become discouraged
and either not exhibit at all or make dis
plays that will not do credit to themselves
or the World's Fair."
An eflort was made to see several well
known glass manufacturers last night. The
only one found was J. S. Atterburv, of
Atterbury & Co. When shown the above
report Mr. Atterbury said:
"That is all right Those people are
satisfied with their barsain and so are we.
Pittsburg was not discriminated against in
the least Wc all had a chance to bid for
it and the highest bidder got it
"The Libbys are welcome to their bar
gain," continued Mr. Atterbury. "Three
hundred thousand dollars is a big price to
pay for the privilege, and that is not the
only thing. They n ill have to construct
their own plant, and besides pay 25 per
cent of their receipts. As I said before, we
all had a chance at bidding, but the hitch
wa in the percentage. All the firms here
had bids in, including the United States
Glass Company, but none would
give more than 15 per cent,
and the commission -wanted 25,
which was finally given by the Libbys.
There is no doubt but whatthey have un
dertaken a large contract, and rather than
feel grieved over losing the exhibit ne
are d'sposed to help them out
ot Shut Out Completely.
"You know I have the patents on the
woven glass cloth, which process will be
included in the Libby exhibit, and other
manufacturers who have specialties will also
do the same thing. On the whole I think
We are to be congratulated that we are
nell rid of the worry of an exhibit This
thing of making exhibits at fairs and ex
hibitions hardly pays the manufacturer any
more. The expense attached to it really
exceeds the remuneration, and for myself I
am perfectly satisfied with the action of the
commission and will do everything I can
to help the successful bidder along."
Other franchises have been let to com
panies that have netted considerable to the
commission. The exclusive right to land
passengers at the dock has been let to the
Henry syndicate, composed of Chicago and
Eastern capitalists. They propose to build
a number of whaleback passenger boats to
carry the passengers. Another monopoly
is the manner of polishing and set
ting precious stones. But one firm
will be permitted to make an
exhibit of that kind. Another firm has se
cured the exclusive right to sell souvenir
medals, and still another secured the right
to run the toilet rooms. Some of them will
be cheap aflairs and will be free, but to the
majority an admission fee of 5 cents will be
charged.
A Court Trial Worth Seeing.
Sons of Liberty Council No. 452, Junior
Order United American Mechanics, cele
brated its second anniversary iast night in a
novel manner. In addition to a programme
of music and several addresses, a mock
court trial was held in which Fred J.
Shaler. Past State Councilor of the order in
Illinois, was tried, as the indictment reads,
"For wilfully and maliciously performing
manual labor," Mr. W. T. Kerr was dis
trict attorney; A, D. Wifkin, attorney for
the defense; Walter M. Lindsay, presiding
judge, and James Whiteside, clerk of ourts.
Witnesses were subpecnaed, a full jury was
drawn and the case tried as in court At
the close a banquet was served. '

charges BIm From the Ninth Ward.
School.
A clew to the direction Prof. J. B. Ar
buckle has taken in his flight from prosecu
tion for nefarious preceptions was obtained
by a Woods Run resident yesterday in a
postal card from the professor. The missive
had three interesting attributes. It was
sent from Ohio, it was short and it
was very much to the point In
it he made no mention of the cause
of his sudden and mysterious de
parture nor to his intended destination. In
fact, the professor studiously avoided men
tioning such momentous tonics and con
fined himself to a mere statement of his de
sires and wishes. These were, briefly put,
that his former assistant, Miss Boice, take
full and complete charce of affairs at the
Xinth ward school. In addition to this the
professor said "Truly yours, goodby" and
then signed his name in his own lurtive
style.
As was announced in yesterday's DlS
fatch the board met last night and the
matter was brought before them in an
official manner by Mr. Boyle, who made the
original charges against the professor, pre
senting the charges in a written statement
The matter caused a heated discussion as
the gentlemen of the board were wroth and
indignant at the gruesome thought that the
school they were the directors of should have
such a disgrace attached to its name.
A resolution was presented and adopted,
dishonorably discharging Prof. Arbnckle
from the position of principal of the school.
in absence of any explanation, excuse or de
nial of the charges preferred against him by
the parents of certain of his pupils. Mis
Julia Douavan was appointed as principal's
assistant to succeed Miss Boice, whose suc
cession to the principalship was confirmed.
President Stewart was seen after ths
meeting by a DisrATCll reporter, and per
sisted in talking about a certain well the
school board were sinking in the school
yard, and which will be a great blessing to
the inhabitants of Woods Kun, instead of
answering direct questions. Mr. Stewart
thought it was possible that an information
had been made against the absent professor,
but as to who made it, or when it was
made, or what were the charges, "Why
but you really should taste that delicious
well water, Mr. Dispatch man," and Mr.
Stewart, following the preceptions of a dis
creet bivalve, closed himself as it were,
and refrained Irom putting himselt on
record.

WANT TO TURN BACK.
Great Surprise Planned by the
Allegheny Reformers
FOR THE OPPOSITION'S DEFEAT.
Reformers to Ask the Court to Annul the
City's Charter.
IF THE MAGISTRATE ACT IS DEFEATED
A bomb is being prepared by the Alle
gheny reformers to hurl into the camp of
the opposition that will cause more interest
than anything the reformers have yet at
tempted. If the ordinance for the appointment of
the five police magistrates for the city of
Allegheny does not pass Select Council to
morrow night, when it will be presented,
the reformers will retaliate and pray the
courts to annul the order making Allegheny
a city of the second class, and upon the
courts granting the prayer the city will re
vert to the position it occupied up until
one year ago, when it was a city of the third
class. This will take the responsible office
holders out of office and will give the re
formers the full sway.
Alleghemans were greatly exercised over
this yesterday and the reformers who have
been conducting this grand conp with the
utmost secrecy were abeam with anticipated
success.
Reformers Have Not Been Bestlnc.
For some time past there has been more
or less comment caused by the seemingly
apathetic interest taken by the reformers in
the momentous question of the appointment
of police magistrates, and those without the
circle who knew nothing of the reformers'
plan of campaign watched the doings of the
opposition with ill-concealed suspicions.
When Major William Kennedy took the
chair of the mayoralty he said he would
conduct the police hearings with the assist
ance of an alderman, until Councils took
the necessary action in regard to creating
the offices of police magistrates. The anti
reform side is vigorously opposed to the
seventh amendment to the charter presented
to Allegheny as a city of the second class
which declares the appointment of five
magistrates to be necessary, and for this
reason and the inactivity of the reformers,
Councils have not as yet created the neces
sary offices.
The matter will be brought before Coun
cils to-morrow night, however, in an ordi
nance for the division of the city into the
five districts.
A Scheme to Give Kennedy More Power.
It is expected this ordinance will receive
bitter opposition, and will go through only
after a hard-fought battle, if it goes through
at all. In truth, the reformers are not
greatly worried over the matter, as they
have the courts to fall back upon in case
the measure is lost, and the city of Alle
gheny will revert to a city of the third class,
thereby giving the appointment of the
principal offices to the acting Mayor, and by
so doing the Hunter faction will be
foundered.
In speaking of the matter a prominent
and active reformer said yesterday that the
city was in the peculiar position of being
neither the second nor the third class. "The
office holders are there without the author
ity of law," he continued. "The charter
for making Allegheny a city of the second
class has not been adopted" in accordance
with law, as the seventh amendment has not
yet been put in force. Now it is an easy
matter to have the courts annul the charter
just upon those grounds and in case some
decisive action is not taken at once it will
give the reformers the opportunity of taking
the matter into the courts where they will
undoubtedly have their plea granted."
CTJESED BY HIS MOTHER.
Fitzpatrlck, the Murderer, Believes He Is
Reaping His Just Deserts.
W. J. Brennen went to Philadelphia last
evening to ask the Supreme Court for a
stay of execution in Fitzpatrick's case.
Mr. Brennen is not receiving a cent for his
services, but he earnestly believes that
Fitz should not be hung. The prisoner,
himself, is indifferent to his fate. He is
not considered insane, but he is a very odd
character. He used to swear a great deal,
but three months ago he quit, and an oath
basn t dropped Irom his lips since.
He says one day when he was a boy in
Ireland his mother cursed him, and he be
lieves he is now reaping his just deserts.
This is how Fitzpatrlck feels about the
breaking of his neck. He is so frank in his
manner that Warden McAleese and every
body about the jail likes him.
Shortly after Gerade was found guilty of
murder in the first degree for the second
time, the pair were walking together in the
jail. A woman was scrubbing the floor
with soft soap. Fitzpatrlck stopped for a
moment and then said to his companion:
"When I am hung and they send my body
to the soap factory they will make finely
scented toilet soap out of me, but when
you are stretched up only soft soap like
this woman is using can" be made out of
you." Gerade was mad and since then he
hasn't spoken to Fitzpatrick.
THE TAEIFFS' HOTSEWABJIING.
An
Enthusiastic Gathering at Bepnbllcan
Headquarters last Right.
The Young Men's Republican Tariff Club
was crowded to the doors last night, the
occasion being the house-warming given by
the club. A meeting was held early in the
evening at which Sheriff McCandless pre
sided. Colonel Brady read a history of the
club, of its organization six years ago with
16 members and its prosperity at present
with GOO. Speeches were made by C. L.
Magee, Hon. A. C Robertson and others
and a pleasant experience meeting was
held.
A sumptuous lunch was spread and the
evening was spent in mirth and music.
Messrs. John McCloskey, James Jiles,
William Emerson and Mr. Harris sang
a number of songs and contributed
largely to the general enjoyment. The
evidence of the club being one of strongest
politically in the State was shown by the
large number of politicians who graced the
occasion by their presence.
Looking for Bggle Conroy.
The police were notified yesterday to be
on the lookout for Eggie Conroy or Condry,
who escaped from the penitentiary at
Moundsville, W. Va., on Sunday night
with three other prisoners. Conroy's home
is in this city. He was arrested May
11 one year ago on suspicion of being
one of the murderers of Mrs. Paul Rudert,
of Tarentum, but proved he was in the Co
lumbus Penitentiary at the time and was
released, only to be taken back to Mounds
ville for breaking jail and shooting the
Town Marshal of Benwood.
H. B. Mease & Son Sard for 810,805 33.
In the United States Court yesterday the
Citizens' National Bank of this city issued
an execution fcr 510,865 33 against H. B.
Mease & Son. When a reporter called at
the residence of H. B. Mease it was learned
that Mr. Mease was in the East and would
not return to Pittsburg b-fore Saturday
evening. v
Green Goods Swindlers at Work.
Green goods dealers are flooding this sec
tion of the State with circulars, bogus news
paper clippings and other artifices of their
business, and many honest men receiving
them are notifying the authorities. Super
intendent O'Mara Is-in daily receipt of such
notices, and has notified his police to be on
the outlook. .
GOURLEY WILL GO SLOW.
He Is Not in a Hurry About the Slarket
Street Hallway Merchants Will Protest
How the Bloomfleld Fight Stands
O'Donnell and His Ordinance.
Mayor Gourley will go slow in the con
sideration of the ordinance known as the
Exchange Railway and that providing for
"obviating the danger at Fifth avenue and
Liberty streets," both of which provide for
the laying of a track along Market street.
The Mayor says he does not fully under
stand the ordinances, not having read them
in full, but he knows that under either a
single track on Market street is provided.
He refuses, therefore, to say what he will
do when the ordinances come before him,
bnt will give respectful audience to both
sides before taking definite action.
He was informed yesterday that a num
ber of leading business men would petition
him to veto the ordinances, but he gave no
indication of his intentions in the premises
further than is suggested above. The trend
of public opinion is against the proposed
route.
The general discussion yesterday regard
ing the claims of the Bloomfield and the
Schenlejr Park street railway companies
for the right of way from Lawrenceville to
the park, seemed to be in favor of the
former, on account of the superior advant
ages it will be in a position to offer, and the
differences between one and two fares to
extreme pint. It was generally conceded
that the people of Bloomfield get a shade
the best of it by Councils' action, and that
the bgnt between the two companies is
not a matter of public concer. The
Schenley Park and Lawrenceville company
talk of bringing suit against the city.
There is much speculation as to what will
result from the resolution adopted in Coun
cils requiring Chief Brown to prepare an
ordinance taxing street cars. Mr. O'Don
nell, of Common Council, charges that Chief
Brown's only intention is to protect the
street railway people by offering a bill giv
ing them policemen for" crossing protectors
in return for the tax to be imposed, thereby
making the city liable lor damage or mj ury
resulting from their negligence, instead of
from the companies'. Mr. O'Donnell cla'ms
that his ordinance, presented on Monday, is
the only correct idea for such a measure,
and Controller Morrow, who prepared it, is
ot the same opinion.
IT WILL COME UP TO-DAY.
The Injunction Snlt Against the Bonders'
Exchange for Alleged Conspiracy.
The injunction suit brought two weeks
ago against members of the Builders' Ex
change by non-members in the contracting
and building business will be taken up to
day at 10 o'clock in Common Pleas No. 3.
This suit will decide a most important point
of law, as no decision has ever been handed
down on the question.
The plaintiffs in the suit allege that on ac
count of the influence of the Builders' Ex
change in the building material markets,
non-members of that body cannot purchase
material at prices that will enable them to
compete with the Exchange members, and
charge the defendants with conspiracy to
drive them out of the trade. The Court's
decision will simply be one of whether a
manufacturer can sell to whom and for what
price he wishes.
The petitioners to the suit are Constantine
Sweeney, Thomas Buchanan, Alexander
Cairns, John Cragen, Samuel Semple,
Joseph Kelly, Isaac Register, Joseph Kos
ick, Richard Whalen, William Busang,
John B. and Joseph K. Crawtord, William
E. Miller, George Speed. William Elford,
Robert Palmer, C. C. Kelly, P. S. Love
ridge, George Vetter, J. Lee, Nicholas Bick
and David Eagan, represented by Attor
nevs Fitzsimmons and Porter.
Fooled to Bellalrr.
Angelo Subillo and Armido Sadoro, con
tractors and employment agents, had a
hearing last evening on 15 charges of false
pretense preferred by as many of their
countrymen. The Italians testified that
they paid the defendants ?2 in fees and
?5 80 in railroad fare, for which they were
to be furnished work at Bellaire. When
they arrived there was nothing for them to
do, and they had to beat their way back.
The agents made no defense, and were held
for court under ?300 bail on each charge.
Magee Pnts Up 8100 for the Fourth.
An early response was received yesterday
from Mayor Gourley's call for a patriotic
celebration ot the Fourth of July. The
first contribution to defray the expense of
the affair was made by C. L. Magee, who
handed the Mayor $100 as a personal dona
tion and nol as coming from the Times.
Won't Consent to a Settlement.
It was reported yesterday that there was
good prospects of a settlement in Banker
Dill's case. District Attorney Lyon said
he would not consent to any agreement, and
only a trial in court would satisfy him.
The case will come up at noon to-day.

TROY HILL'S TUNNEL
The Oft-Projected Enterprise Once
More Said to Be a Certainty.
ALLEGHENY TO BE ASKED TO HELP,
And Substantial Capitalists TTill Push the
Improvement.
SOME OP THE ADVANTAGES DISCUSSED
At a meeting on Monday night of those
interested in the oft-projected tunnel be
tween Herr's Island on the Allegheny river
and Spring Garden avenue, Allegheny, it
was decided to construct the tunnel at the
earliest possible time. The proposed tun
nel will be about one-half mile long and
will be built under Mount Troy. It will be
wide enough to contain tracks for an elec
tric road and drive way and foot walks.
This tunnel has been talked of for years.
Several surveys have beeu made. Another
survey has been made recently, however,
and the project is again being discussed
with more enthusiasm than ever before.
The proposed tunnel will begin near
the Island bridge and will end
near Hippley & Son's brewery on
Spring Garden avenue" Hippley &
Sons, Louis Zoller, Philip Peifer and
others of wealth and extensive interests are
interested in the enterprise and they say
will they not now stop until their
mammoth undertaking is accomplished. It
is argued by many of those
directly interested in the project that the
city of Allegheny should help materially in
the enterprise, and an effort is being made
by the propety owners interested to have
the subject called up in Allegheny Councils
at their next regular meeting after this
week.
The City Hesitates to Invest.
On different occasions efforts have been
made to have the city build the proposed
tunnel, but Councils have always refused
to act in the matter on the ground that the
improvement would benefit only those
people ?ho live on Spring Garden avenue
and on Herr's Island.
"It will be a great public benefit," one
of the Hippelys said last night "The city
should have built this tunnel long ago, but
now all wc ask is to get some help. We
have undertaken the job and will likely
finish it. Our taxes go to make improve
ments in other parts of Allegheny, and ,
there can be no good reason assigned why
the general public should not contribute
toward an improvement that is general in
its character. Of course, the tunnel would
be a great advantage to property owners
and business people in this end of Alle
cheny. It would not only materially increase
the value of property in this neighborhood,
but it would be open to the world and if
there is any sense in the talk of free bridges
made free by general taxation, then cer
tainly our people are entitled to a free tun
nel made free in the same way.
Great Necessity for This Tunnel.
'There is no doubt that our people are at
present much inconvenienced through want
of a tunnel. We have, for instance, most of
the butchers of the two cities out. here.
They go to Herr's Island or elsewhere for
their cattle and to get them home they must
either drive them a roundabout
way of nearly four miles or drive there np
tho steep incline to Mt. Troy, then donn
again just as steep an incline. This is just
a sample of the inconvenience to which
our residents are put. We claim as our
right that the city should help us out of the
difficulty."
It is emphatically declared that as the
city does not help the project financially it
will be pushed forward as a private enter
prise. It is probable that an organization
will be formed.
An Allegheny Councilman stated last
night1 that the proposed tunnel was to be
built to open up a tract of unoccupied
property back of Spring Garden avenue,
and to enlarge that part of the city. "It is
a grave question whether the city should
take any pait in building the tunnel, but
there is no doubt it would be a great im
provement and a great convenience."
CONDEMNS THE L. 0.
A Prominent Washington Minister Thinks
the Society Is Antiquated.
Rev. George A Corey, pastor of the
Metropolitan Methodist Church at Wash
ington, was a passenger on the limited last
evening, going to the convention in Omaha.
Mr. Corey looks very much like Talmage.
He says he is opposed to women voting in
the church. Mr. Corey condemned the
Pittsburg Law and Order Society. He said
the people here have the reputation of being
religious and law-abiding, and he couldn't
see the necessity for such a league in Pitts
burg or in Washington.
Mr. Corey is a great admirer of President
Harrison. He thinks the administration
has been one of the best in the history of
the country. He thinks Harrison will be
renominated and re-elected. During the
first year of his term he was not shrewd and
offended many of the politicians, but the
people have no fault to find with him.'
Will Bepave the Downtown Streets.
Soon all the downtown streets in the city
will be covered with block stone pavements
and the alleys with asphalt. Chief Bigelow
is preparing to repave most of these publjc
highways this summer. All of Duquesne
wav and Water street now covered with
cobbles will have a block stone pavement
before the snow flics again. The lower end
of Fourth avenue, Second avenue from
Grant street eastwardly and a large section
ot Carson street will be similarly treated.
A large number of downtown alleys are to
be repaved with a smooth asphalt pave
ment suitable for pedestrians or vehicles.

The grand center of the entire White
Mountain region, with all its famous at

DIED FOR LOVE.
The Nude Body of a Beautlfnl Woman
FoundTJelow Niagara Falls Identified
as Mrs. E. A. Anpperlr, or Ililladelphla
Wealthy and Refined.
Niagaea Falls, May 17. Special.
The remain of a handsome woman of 40
years of age, found floating in the river
below the falls yesterday afternoon, revealed
the first suicide of spring and one sur
rounded by romantic circumstances. The
body was afterward discovered to be that of
Mrs. E. C Aupperlr, of Philadelphia. It
was perfectly nude, with the exception of a
pair of fine kid shoes on the feet and a frag
ment or dress ana stocicings on tne nmus.
The woman was of refined appearance
with comely face and attractive form. The
body was taken in charge by the Coroner
and'held for identification. A thinly worn
wedding ring, upon the inside of which
was an inscription in French, was used by
the Chief of Police to help reveal her iden
tity. To-night the body was identified as that
of Mrs. E. C. Aupperlr, of Philadelphia,
who has been stopping at the Hotel Kalten
bach. To-night late Proprietor Kaltenbacb.
viewed the remains and positively identi
fied them as his guest's. Mrs. Aupperlr
was here two years ago. She is evidently
wealthy and highly cultured. It was a
clear case of suicide for love.
In the lady's room at the hotel were
found letters to relatives, which the Coro
ner seized, explaining that she had been
disappointed and did not care to live. Five
or six valuable rings and over 1500 in money
was found in her room. She also left letters
explaining what disposition of her effects
she desired made. The Coroner will not
divulge the contents of the letters.
TALKING FOB THE FAIR.
Manager Davis Says Sunday Closing Woald
Greatly Bednce the Receipts.
Washington', May 17. Mr. Davis,
Director General of the World's Fair, ad
dressed the House World's Fair Committee
to-day regarding the responsibilities of the
Government in connection with the Exposi
tion. Mr. McCreary called the attention of
Mr. Davis to the question of closing the
Fair on Sunday, and asked him what effect
Sunday closing would have. Mr. Davis re
plied he was not authorized to speak on
this subject for those connected with the
Exposition, as U had not been discussed by
them, but said that if the Exposition was
closed on Sunday it would largely decrease
the receipts.
Commissioner Walker stated that Messrs.
Field, Armour, Palmer and other wealthy
gentlemen of Chicago, had signed an agree
ment to furnish any money found necessary
to run the Fair after the Government had
appropriated the 5,000,000 asked for.
These agreements, he said, would be pre
sented to the committee.
