A 5UMBER OP THE CASES DISMSSED
n
There -were tears in the skies for the
eminently proper Robert McClure yester
day, for he was unceremoniously squelched
by the honorable grinders at the mills of
justice. The sad-faced L. and O. man was
ordered to pay the costs in the recent
perjury case, his appeal lrom the decision
of the jurors who affixed the costs upon the
good man was firmly and emphatically
turned down, and Judges Slagle and Col
lier pave the over-zealous Robert a meta
phorical slap in the face by Fcntencing him
to pav the costs and administered another
interesting bitter rebuke by refusing Robert
a new trial.
Thereat Robert grew wroth at heart, but
he did not say anything unkind to the hon
orable jurists. That would have been in
discreet, and Robert is never indiscreet, al
though he nav appear so to some.
The court resembled, when the McClnre
case was called, the meeting scene in
"Damon and I'ythias," only there were no
painted trees nor sandaled feet, but there
was a Damon-and-Pythias expression of ex
cited interest upon the populace's faces.
Everybody was interested. They exhibited
it, too, did that populace in the Criminal
Court. Tho goodly agent of the goodly
Law and Order Society was likewise inter
ested. In fact, he was deeply interested.
Botli ripas Promptly Dcnlrd.
There were a few cases called before
Robert JlcClnre's, which the populace
thought went to prove that goodliness docs
not always get first place in this world.
Attorney Marron stepped to the front when
the case was finally called and he made a
motion for a new trial for his client,
Robert McClure. He also made a motion
lor Robert to cease his couching. The first
motion the court denied. The second mo
ion had the desired effect. Then Attorney
ilarron nrayed the court to reverse the or
der of the jury which was that the L. and
O. agent should pay the costs of the perjury
case.
The populace opined, that Is, some of
them opined, that it was not the money the
good man cared for but it was the taint the
decision left upon his name. But the
court didn't take into consideration the
feelings of the good man to such an extent
that he would not be obliged to pay the
costs, lor they calmly and deliberately re
fused to revoke the jury's order, and, in the
language of the Court, the defendant was
Fcntcnced to pay the costs or go to jail until
the bond is furnished.
As the defendant had thus another oppor
tunity he showed his discretion by ambling
over to the Sheriff's office, and, with the
resistance of one of his I. and O. friends,
filed the bonds for the costs.
Ajipeaift Frm Alderman Rohfi'l Decisions.
Thus is the last act ended. The.curtain
was drawn, and if the populace hurried
away to dress for the next performance
without waiting to shed tears, the sky
didn't, for the soft damp drops lell from the
veiled heavens.
Rut there were other scenes about the
liandsome building for the good Law and
Order man, for there were 33 cases heard by
Judges blagle and Collier of appeals that
had been taken bv the victims of the L. and
Q. man from thedecision of Alderman Rohe.
The Alderman from AYylie avenue was
not in court. He had an experience there
once before, and is not taid to be particu
larly partial to court scenes. That is Crimi
nal Court scenes.. Rut the L. and O. Society
was represented. Attorney Yost did the
representing with much argumentation
snd voice, and so did Mr. McClure, although
Mr. MiClure was neither as demonstrative
nor as oratorical as was Attorney Yost.
Major A. M. Brow n and AV. B. Rodgcrs
represented the appeals and a smile broad
and capacious was spread over their faces
as they left the courtroom, lor the larger
majority of the cases that had been ap
pealed were dismissed.
A tinge of romance was added to the
scene m court, as two bona fide, really and
truly nice men -Here brought in to testify
for the Law aud Order people. These nice
men were V. A. Stately and Thomas Flinn,
who are accusd of serious crimes. They
testified as did also Agent McClure.
The I'iiiPK tVere tVlpcl Out.
The case against F. J. Kulton was the first
calle-l, and when Mr. Yost said he had no
witnesses, the order of Alderman Rohe
which affixed a i'5 line for selling papers on
Sunday as reversed. Mr. Kulton walked
over the carpet a free man.
Mr. Yost ofiered the same excuse in the
two succeeding cases and George Oilman
and 1. A. AWctz lollowed the precedent
ol Mr. Kulton. and walked out free as the
flitting birds, so lar as the goodly Robert
was concerned.
In the three cases against R. Brenham,
the Ujiou News Companv's agent at the
l:im depot, ttie judgment was affirmed,
but the lour following, against Jacob Turner
ol Km: Liberty were reversed as there was
a fatal iacu ol sufficient evidence. Judg
ment against Frank Wilt, was affirmed.
Then an ofl-ct judgment was reversed in
tw ca-es against I). G. Irwin and one case
again!.: each of the lol. owing alleged Sunday
des.ear.arri: Frank Turner, John C
"Wright, p. J. iietner, R. P. Burke, and
two cases hgainst Jolin Shaffer.
Judgment was affirmed in one case against
Joseph Uirk and three against J. JI. Sharps.
Two cases against Tiioiu&s M-.'Hews and one
against A. S. Jones, were cp .tinued until
"Wednesday to enable the Law and Order
Society to produce their witnesses.
A WATCH ON SHIPPERS.
Good 'Work of tho Railroad Welchtnc nd
Inspecting Korean What Ajrent 1.1m
bercir Hj Obs-rved In Five Tears' Ex
perience Trlck of tho Bnslneu.
J. H. Limberger, tho Joint agent In
charge of the railroad weighing and inspec
tion bureau, was in the city yesterday on
one of his periodical visits. It Is five years
since the burean was started, and under his
management it has become well organized.
The plan has been a great success, and
is pleating to the honest and sub
stantial shinpers. It has been
a terror to evil-doers, and thev would like
to see it abolished. Mr. Limberger is
proud of his work, but he is tired of the
job. It is too exacting. It is no small
matter tor a man to keep posted on the 'va
rious classifications, and daily pass judg
ment on knotty questions. The business
never becomes routine, but every day some
new problem arises that must be disposed
of.
"I find," said Mr. Limberger yester
day, "that men are not prone to be dishonest
when thy can do as well by being honest.
A shipper can't send goods these days under
false weight and classification unless he
enters into a conspiracy with his employes.
"Where a man has built up a large trade he
has no de-.ire to put himself in a position
where his men can constantly keep a club
over him. I frequently receive letter:, from
employes of firms telling me of
some crooked work going on in the
shipping department. These men have
become dissatisfied with something,
and they inform on their employers as one
way of getting even.
"But honest shippers like the work of
the bureau. In the old days, if two manu
facturers were bidding on a job, the one
that didn't get it at once jumped to the
conclusion that the railroads had ofiered
his competitor some advantage. The bureau
has made these complaints impossible, and
when a shipper loses business, he knows
the railroads have had nothing to do with it.
Shippers have no objection to giving correct
weights and observing the classifications
when they know their competitors must do
likewise. Then some men are born crooked,
nnd they couldn't be straight if they tried.
In many instances there is an honest differ
ence of opinion as to how an article should
be classified. We always give the shipper
the benefit of the doubt, and they know it.
In the North, where there are so many differ
ent railroad systems, we must work as it
suits each road. We employ a day and
night force, and as through freight runs on
Sunday, we have plenty of work on that
day. In Pittsburg the business is easier, as
the traffic is handled in two or three
offices."

SOME OTHER LABOR NOTES OP THE DAT
Horizontal Bill Says the Democratic Nom
inee and Platform Will Stilt Him Ue
Refuses to Talk About Candidates or Ills
Own Chance.
Horizontal Bill Morrison, Chairman of
the Inter-State Commission, was a passen
ger on the limited for Minneapolis last
evening. He was going there, he said, on
railroad business. Mr. Morrison was never
known to talk much for publication, but
since his name has been mentioned occasion
ally in connection with the Presidency
he considers absolute silence only consist
ent with dignity. The would-be tariff
slasher answered questions in monosylla
bles, and when it didn't suit him to reply
he gazed wistfully through the dense smoke
at Venus, at if he were imploring the
goddess to help him. But Venus continued
to shine brightly, and sent back a cheering
ray of light, and Horizontal William was
happv. He would sav nothing about
Cleveland, Hill, Gorman, Palmer, Boies,
Morrison, et al. His soul was troubled,
for he realizes that outside of a few friends
in Illinois his Presidental aspirations are
not considered seriously. He added that
the candidate and platform of the Demo
cratic party would suit him.
On railroad matters he was a little more
communicative. He said Mr. Ford, of the
Pennsylvania Company, was forced to pay
commissions on tickets south and southwest
of Chicago, as other lines were doing it. He
intimated that the Pennsylvania policy
against the commission business was
not changed, but the company was com
pelled to acquiesce for the present. Mr.
Morrison indicated by nis manner also that
he didn't like the Supreme Court's decision
in the Baltimore and Ohio case upholding
the party rate. He said the suit had grown
out of a fight between the Pennsylvania
Company and the Baltimore and Ohio. He
is opposed to increasing the membership
of the commission, and fails to
see how that would facilitate
business. He contends that the commission
has judicial functions, and that Judge
Cooler did not exceed them in his decision
against the party rate. Recently the ques
tion of allowing foreign manufacturers a
low rate on World's Fair exhibits came up.
The railroads opposed a reduction, and he
thinks they are right.

New Baltimore and Ohio Shops and Tards,
Adjacent to the JJnmblrd Land and Im
provement Company Lots, Cumberland,
Mrt.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, recognizing the Importance of Cum
berland as a distributes point lor the largo
teirltory lying around, and the further fact
that Us location made it desirable as the
terminus or three of its divisions, namely,
the second, third ana rmsbursc, propo-.ed
to the -Mayor nnd City Council of Cumber
land that in consideration of tho loan of
?1jO,000, without interest by tho city, the
company would mane Cumberland the end
of tho above divisions, and in addition,
would purchase a large tract of land within
the city limits, upon which thev would erect
machine shops and round houses. The
proposition was submitted to the voters of
Cumberland on the 17th of June last and
carried by a majority of lour to one.showing
that the people of Cumberland appreciated
the vast Importance of securing theso Im
provements. The company has purchased 90 acres of
land, uponhich will ho erected their yards
and hop. The Baltimore nntl Ohlopropose
to make Cnmberland the Altoona of their

The now rather famous injunction suit
against 64 members of the Builders' Ex
change, brought by outside contractors,
came up yesterday in Common Pleas No. 3.
The Court's decision was reserved until
next Thursday.
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning the
case came up for argument before Judges
Parter, McClung and Kennedy. The court
room was comfortably filled with representa
tives of both sides. The hearing grew very
warm as it proceeded. The plaintiffs pre
sented numerous affidavits containing seri
ous charges against the Exchange, while
the defendants denied everything they were
charged with.
Attorneys Fitzsimmons and L. K. Porter
represented the plaintiffs, while Attorneys
Ferguson and Watson appeared for the
Builders' Exchange people. Mr. Porter
cited the allegations made in the bill in
equity. The court then commenced to hear
the testimony in the case.
Blocked by tbe Exchange.
William Schuberg swore the Builders'
Exchange prevented, the Squires Hard
ware Company from selling him material
after a contract for the same had been
entered into. John Hanna said after he
had ordered plastering from Fertig & Co.,
of Allegheny, paid for the same and after
the first load had been delivered, the firm
refused to deliver any more and ofiered to
return his money,
Nicholas Beck said he had asked Sankey
Bros, for 2,500 brick, but they refused to
sell because he was not a member of the Ex
change. Before he could get the brick else
where, Sankev Bros, made a contract with
the owner of the building and he lost the
job.
E. W. Houston said he tried to get ma
terial lrom the Squires Hard ware Company,
but it refused to sell because he was not a
member of the Exchange. At another time
he secured the brickwork on an East End
house. The general contractor said he
would have trouble getting supplies if he
paid his men 54 60 per day. A committee
from the Exchange visited "him for the pur
pose of getting him to pay but $4. He said
he would pay what he pleased, but if he
could be ensured supplies he would resign
his membership in the journeymen's union.
He was told to see President Barnes. When
the latter heard Houston w'ould pay his
men 54 50 a day, he said, "You can't get
any material."
The contractor who had the brick work
on the Gusky building swore Hooper Bros,
refused him brick because he was not a
member of the Builders' Exchange. Daniel
Eagan and AV. J. McMasters said they had
oeen refused material by several people for
the same reason.
Hard Work to Get Supplies.
Kaskel Solomon presented a strong affi
davit stating that George P. Kretz had been
given the contract for the Solomon & Ruben
building on Smithfield street. A Cleveland
firm, the only one supplying portage red
stone, refused to sell any, claiming
that if it did so the Pittsburg
Builders' Exchange would withdraw
its support Kelly & Jones refused to
furnish boilers nnd steam heating apparatus
because the contract was in the hands of a
non-exchange contractor. Halpin, Kennedy
& Co., Rasner & Dinger, Taylor & Dean,
J. Reinecke & Co. and Charles H. Hunibert
also refused to furnish supplies and the
firm has lost considerable time and money.
Many other affidavits of a similar charac
ter were read and Mr. Porter summed up
the evidence and argued that there could be
no reason shown why the injunction should
not be granted.
Mr. Watson read affidavits from the
Squires Hardware Company, T. J. Hamil
ton, H. R. Barnes, J. T. Stein, W. B. San
key, A. Rosuli, D. R. Speer, A. J. Har
nack, J. Miller, H. Bullock, W. T. Powell
and others, showing that there was no law
in the constitution of the exchange
that prevents them from selling to non
members. Mr. Watson asked that the de
fendants be given further opportunities of
answering the claim. He said the defend
ants had only been presented with
six of the affidavits and were only
ready to answer that number. Judge Ken
nedy decided the argument would proceed
and answers to the other charges filed later.
The affidavits of the defendants showed
they had sold materials to differ
ent persons outside the exchange.
The right of sale in the Exchange
is an individual one and is not ex
actly dictated by the exchange. The or
ganization has issued a request to its mem
bers not to sell to those ontslde the Ex
change, but it is nothing more than
a request. At the close of
tbe testimony of the defendants, Mr. Wat
son reviewed the evidence on both sides,
and argued that nothing had been presented
by the defendants tnat would warrant the
granting of the injunction.
The Court Reserves Its Decision.
Tbe court reserved its decision until next
Thursday.
Tbe plaintiffs and their supporters, the
trade-unionists, are sanguine of success.
They think tbe argument and affidavits they
presented cannot be passed by.
The other side is just as sanguine, even
more so. To their minds they cannot see
how the court can grant an injunction
against tbem. They contend that if the
court rules they have not the right to
refuse to sell to certain persons
then the workingman has not the
right to refuse to work for a Builders
Exchange man. A prominent member of
the Exchange said yesterday afternoon that
several of the affidavits produced by the
plantifTs were untrue. He said the Ex
change members had never used any vio
lence or conspired to injure the' bus
iness of the contractors outside the Ex
change. As this was the case, he did not
see ou what grounds the injunction could
be granted. He cited the cases ot the
Alvm Theater and-the printers' injunctions.
In both of these the conrts were satisfied
that violence or conspiracy liad been used,
and on that ground the injunctions were
granted, the Court holding, though, that it
was unlawful to organize together to pro
tect a trade or business.
HE WOULDN'T CLOSE EARLY
So
His
the Knights of Lihar Boycotted
Store.
District Master Workman Dempsey spent
several days this week in Bellevemon, Fay
ette county, arranging some matters
pertaining to the organization. One
of the principal things he did was to try
to get A. B. Lewis, a merchant, to sign the
agreement to close his store at an early hour.
All the other merchants of the town had
signed, but this gentleman refused to.
The Master Workman was sent for, but he
could not bring the man around. It was
finally decided to place a boycott on the
store. All the laboring people of the town
and the county patronage of the store were
asked to purchase elsewhere.

HAMLET IN PETTICOATS.
and
A Plttlbnrc Girl Makes a Success
Will Enter the Profession.
The rendition of "Hamlet" by the young
ladies of the graduating and elocutionary
classes of St. Joseph's Academy, Greens
burtr, on last Thursday afternoon, was snch
a pronounced success that the performance
will be repeated before a special audience,
including the Bishop of this Diocese, num
erous clergymen and prominent laymen, on
next Wednesday evening in the Academy
Hall.
The performance of last Thursday is said
tohave been the first attempt of any Cath
olic Female Seminary in this country to
render any of Shakespeare's plays, and that
it was successful is sufficiently attested by
the numerous calls for the special perform
ance for the benefit of the clergy and laity
of the diocese.
The productions are undt he direct sup
ervision of Prof. Byron W. King, of this
city, and has been in preparation for sev
eral months. The characterization of Ham
let hj Miss Sarah Lappan was fully equal to
the efforts of advanced professionals, and
particularly the soliloquy, the scene with
the Queen and battle scenes she simply car
ried he large audience with her back to
the stirring time of Henry V.'s reign. The
Horatio of Miss Shearer, King of Miss
Blakely, Queen of Miss Powers, Ophelia of
Miss Owens, rolonnu of Miss Cerlin and
First Grave Digqer of Miss Phillips were
also superbly rendered, and fully reflected
the exact training of these young ladies.
Miss Lappan, the leading character , in
the play, is the daughter of Mr. James
Lappan, President of the Boiler Manufac
turers' Association of th:s city, and is a
more than ordinary talented young lady.
She is a graduate of this year, and in all of
her studies has carried off first honors of
the school. After graduating it is her am
bition to continue her studies abroad and fit
herself for a professional career in legiti
mate drama.

Game Laws Warned.
FEEDING B0ARDER8 ON FISH FOOD
WILL BE ONE CHURCH,
The A. M. E. and A. IS, K. ZIon Confer
ences Acreo to Unite.
At the morning session of the A. M. E.
Zion Conference yesterday the principal
business transacted was hearing reports of
committees. The report of the Committee
on Revision was taken up. One point
raised was whether the quarterly conference
had the jurisdiction to remove trustees for
any cause. It was finally decided that they
could, provided it did not conflict with the
State laws. The report of the commission
on union with the A. M. E. Church was
adopted.
It read as follows: "In view of the pro
ceedings and action of the joint commis
sion ot the two Churches, the A. M. E. and
the A. M. E. Zion, we, the members repre
senting the latter, do recommend thnt.as in
all constitutional elements the commission
decided the two churches are virtually one,
all statutory provisions be relegated to
the United General Conference for adjust
ment. Since it was also agreed by a vote of
22 to 2 that the name of the united body be
the 'African Zion Methodist Episcopal'
Church, and only two votes dissenting,
we agree upon the basis of union al
ready tidopted by both General Confer
ences." An invitation to attend the free organ re
cital in Carnegie Hall was accepted and the
convention adjourned until to-morrow.
Fish Warden John "W. Hague has again
struck terror to the violators of the game
laws of this section. He started Wednes
day night and returned yesterday. There
has been considerable dynamiting for fish
in the streams here, as well as the liberal
use of seines and dipnets. The rod and line
is also being used freely, people having ap
parently become forgetful of the fact that it
is unlawful to catch any fish save trout in
the local waters before May 30. The high
water and bad weather was against the
Warden and his men, but they got the
names of many of the violators, and suits
will probably be entered very soon.
Warden Hague was accompanied on his
raid by Joseph Feltwell and C. O. Kanouse.
They went up the Monongahela river in
one of the Morgantown packets. Speaking
of the raid yesterday, Warden Hague said:
"We got off tbe boat at Fredericktown, 63
miles from Pittsburg, in the midst of a
heavy thunder storm at midnight,
A Descendant of n Famous Hunter.
"A man named Hill gave us shelter until
the storm abated, and then took us to
Colonel J. W. Boone's hotel. The Colonel,
by the way, is one of the direct descendants
of the famous Daniel Boone. By daylight
wo were at the river and captured a large
number of outlines and stopped 20 people
from fishing with the rod and line.
"Vandegrift's distillery is located
there. A boarding house keeper in
the neighborhood feeds his boarders on
fiSh and in that wavcuts down his expenses.
He found the rod and line were insufficient
to satisfy the craving his boarders had for
fish and as dynamite was cheaper than buy
ing meat he has been blasting in the river,
and in that nav has caueht lnrsre numbers.
The river was too high for this kind of
work and we saw there was no hope of
catching him at that. We had also been
informed he used a seine. We searched the
distillery from roof to basement, but could
not find a trace of it We also searched
Hawkins' private house and outbuildings
without any better success. The men at
the distillery had also been using rods and
lines and had 20 fine specimens of catfish
still alive in a box. I dumped them into
the river and everyone there promised
iaitmuuy that the Jaw would.be observed.
Took Their Seines to tbe Hills.
"From there we took an open skiff and
came down to Brownsville. On the way we
capturd a number of outlines and stopped
a number of others who were fishing. We
expected to make a big haul at Brownsville,
but someone had gotten there ahead and
given a warning. Every seine in the town
had been loaded on wagons and hurried off
to the country. AVe chased for a time, bnt
had to give it up. Like the moonshiners
with their stills they had hidden away in
the hills.
"We staved Thnrsday night in Browns
ville, and got the names of a large number
of people who were using seines, dipnets,
castnets and also fishing with rod and line
out of season. We also found that Sunday
was a great dav for fishing at Lock No. 5,
but as the water was too high we did not
see the use of waiting. In fact on our
whole trip we did not find a sinele seine
out drying. The people who use them have
grown too cute for that now, and the only
way to catch them now is to surprise them
at work.
"Coming on down the river I found a
large number of people fishing at California,
Merchantsville- and Monongahela City.
We also got a number ot outlines or night
