Fell Very Flat, Indeed, in the United States Court Yesterday. IH1 LABOR KKTCS OP THE TWO CITIRS The Pittsburg Terra Cotta Company was arraigned in the United States Court yester day, charged ith violating the alien con tract labor law. It turned out the firm Had been arrested for employing a free-born American citizen. This case excited a great deal of interest, as it was the first or the kind brought up in Pittsburrr. Last summer, during the brick layers' strike, the Terra Cotta company was in need of men, and it heard that Robert Brooks, a bricklayer, was in some town in Canada. The firm wrote to the man, and he came on to Pittsburg and went to work. The Bricklayers' Union heard of this and brought the suit, expecting to show the firm had violated the alien contract law. They intended to prove it by 3Ir. Brooks, and he was the only witness put on the stand. He said he was an American ci'izen. Last summer he went to Canada to visit some friends, and while there he received a letter from the Terra Cotta Company stating he would be given employment. The letter said the firm paid bricklayers Si lor a nine-hour work day. There nere no specifications relative to a contract AV. D. llenry. Secretary of the company, admitted having written the letter. Mr. Brooks' testimony ended the case. Judge Buffington then charged the jury. He raid the case came neither within the letter nor the spirit of the law. 3Ir. Brooks was an American citizen auay lor an indefinite period only, and the letter upon which his services were secured showed Ho evidence of a contract. He told the jury to bring in a verdict for the defense. It was done with out the jury leaving the box. PAINTERS AT WAR The Allejheny Contingent Wants Iteco; nllion In Ills Trades Coanril.

About four weeks apo ho was taken down with la grippe, which later on developed heart trouble, tho immediate cause of his death. Prof. Brownson ns born in Ithaca, X. Y., in 1823 Alter receiving a thorough col legiate education, he visited nearly every country. Early in tho CO's he went to Du buque, la., and from IOCS to 1S78 wa- princi lal ol the First ward school. He afterward presided over the Dodse sticet school, hut leelins the weight ot his years retired to his iarni near Key West. The following account of the deceased wo take from the Dubuane Daihi RernM- "Prof. Brow son loved his profession, was a tireless noiker in the cause of education, and did uiucn to advance tho public schools of the city. When tlm school system was as sailed he was ever leady to dufend it witli his tongue and pen. A few years ago lie issued a pamphlet In which no made a strong detciise of public education. During tho many years ho presided over tho First ward school he popularized it in many ways, civ ing occasional entertainments theio in whfch his pupils participated. These always attracted crowds of patents and lricndsof education, and Inured grsatlv to the Im provement of tile bovs and girfs. "In tho school Prof. Brownson was always popular with his pupils. Sliiny of them who are to-day prominent in businesiandprotcs sional cncfes in Dubuque Rivo theirold pro-fe-sor the ciotlic for much of their success because of the foundations laid for their futures under his guidance. "Naturally, as might be expected of one so thoroughly devoted to the cause of educa tion, Piot. Brownson was a great student and reador. His mind was a, rich stoi chouse orknowledgo to which ho added daily, and since liis retirement from active lite his books have been his constant companions. His keen mental faculties found particularly ngreeaulo employment at times in the in tricacies or cliess, at which 'king's pastime' lie had few supeiiors in tho country. For several years he edited and published tho Chess -Journal, which is far and wide con ceded to be one of tho ablest journals of Its kind." CHESS NEWS.

Ho was born in Westchester county. N. Y., on December 7, 1S53. He learned tho game in 1S71 whilo at school in Norwalk, Conn. Seven years later he won second piizo in tho handicap tournament of tho New York Chess Club. In 1881 he won second prize in tho handicap and first prize in tho cham pionship tournament of tho -Manhattan Cliess Club. In 1889 lie carried oft first prize in tho handicap of tho Brooklyn Chess Club. During tho filth American Chess Congress ho acted as Secretary. He prefers, how ever, to bo considered a problem student, composer and critic rather than a player. Hero are his own words: I hare devoted considerable time to the collection and arrangement of some unique manuscript books of problems, classified -arcordlng to ldex, eic. Fur example. I have a "Bristol" book, wherein all the problem are based on that famous Uieine, which it one that can lie illustrated by moving any piece. This book Is divided into parts something like this: Part I., section I Two moves, king moving. Parti., section 2 Two move, queen moving. Parti., section 3 Two moves, rook moving. (Etc., fir six sections.) Part II.. section 1 Three moves, ting moving. (Etc.. etc.. six sections.) This runs up to seven or eight mm es. Then I have an "Indian" boov. divided thus: I., I., 2 moves, covering bishop. I., II., 2 moves, covering rook. II., I., 3 moves, covering n. II.. II.. 3 moves, covering B. And soon. Of course a queen l sometimes cov ered, hut such covering Is altvats either diagonally or on a line, so the abore headings suffice for all kinds nf Indians." I have started another vol ume devoted to the ' "catching" idea or "grab scheme. " as Carpenter calls It, and have a lot of problems noted for entrv In yet another book to be devoted to the intersection"." of which that2-'-r I arpenter admired Is an example. Thercare s'lll other diagram lmos devoted to 2-ers and 3-crs (choice) arranged according to the number of pieces used, one tor pan n$s only, another for end fames, etc. etc I mention all this to show you that lam giving all my chess leisure to problems' in some lorm or other, aud don't really care to be looked upon as a player.
