29. 1893L : !L THE PITTSBURG- , DISPATCH. STJNDAT MAY TEARS OFTHE DEAD Will Fall Upon the Mourners as Thoy Tlace Tributes Upon the Graves of LOYED AED LOST ONES. Showers Forecast for the Horning of Decoration Day. k GREAT DEMA5D FOR FLOWERS. Programmes Prepared by the Teterani of the Late War. EERTICES AT Ai,L THE CEMETERIES A superstition of pretty sentiment is connected with Decoration Day, which, briefly told, is that the Great King on high calls the spirits of the martyrs of the last war together upon the day when mortals the country over are weeping for lost ones, and the ones on the unseen shores weep in srmpathv. and their tears fall upon the inortalt as they go about their sweet labor of love. The belief in this superstition extends be yond the pale of the ignorant, and many (jrievins ones in the higher planes of life, in declvin; the graves of their soldier loves, and now in this later day, when other death visited families pay a special visit to the sleepirg place of derjarted ones, raise their eyes to the heavens and say, "Our dear ones are with us to-day." SeTgeant Stewart, of the "Weather Bureau, went over the reports for the last score of years with a Dispatch man yesterday, and, searching carefully, found that the Decoration Diys in Allegheny county since 1871 had either been visited by frowning skies or soft falls of rain. IU-cord or Past Decoration Darn.

"And Monday morning will be showery," conclnded Sergeant Stews rt as he closed the Iet book. "I am afraid the grounds will be damp and soggy as the forecast is that Sun dsv afternoon will be showery." The citv was in mourning day attire yes terday afternoon. People of all classes were carryiue home flowers of some des cription or other, but potted plsnts and out door flowers predominated. Some of the floral ladened ones wore the heavy mourn ing stilts of the first grief, others were decked in semi-mourning gowns, while still others, who had felt the Dreaded One's power lone ago, softly went about in simple street costume. r Unprecedented Demand for Flowers, The florists' shops were thronged with buyers. Huge bouquets of rare and beau tiful flowers were prepared and disposed of with such rapidity that the windows, ice chests and cellars bore a desolated ap pearance as the hours of night drew on. Kobert C. Tatterson, the Sixth street florist, said that while Saturday was a busy dav, the morning of Decoration Day would be still busier. "Monday is an odd day," he continued, "for the majority of people forget how near the time really is until the stores are closed for Sunday, and as a result they hasten down on Mondar morning eager and hurried. For the first time unce I opened business I shall have bouquets pre ared beforehand in order to expedite matters. The demand is all for outdoor flowers, such as peonies, snowballs, roses, carnation and foliages. Other florists anticipated the same rush cf business for to-morrow morning and wertf preparing for it.

THE ALIEN CONTRACT BILL Falls to Zeep Ont the Pauper Workers of European Countries. E0W LABOR DAI IS TO BE CELEBRATED Every branch of organized labor was represented at the open meeting of the Trades Assembly of Western Pennsylvania last night. The object of the open meeting was to dlscnss "Labor Day and Its 'Proper Observance." "While this was carried out to a great ex tent, it was not the only toplo of discussion. Immigrant Inspector Bobert Layton was present and he made quite a lengthy talk on the present alien contract labor laws. He showed where they were defective and ad vised that a labor conference of the labor ing people of Western Pennsylvania be called in July and that the Congressmen of Western Pennsylvania be asked to be present. At this conference the Congress men could be shown what is needed in the way of laws. Don't Fill thp Requirements. Mr. Layton read the alien contract law enacted 1885, and all the amendments since added to it. As he went along he picked out flaws and showed the defectiveness of the measure. "To the casual reader," he said, "these enactments would seem to be drawn for the purpose they are Intended. These laws have been passed and amended as time re quired, but the requirements of the labor ing man have never been filled. The alien contract law in its present form cannot be enforced. Now, since it is impossible to enforce, what should be the tariff of the workingman then the laboring men shonld advocate free trade. If this be treason against, the administration I cannot help it, for it is my honest convictions. "A protection that but half protects us must get out of the way. A full protection is the only thing we want. Protection for a manufacturer's goods and a worldfor free labor is a discrimination. If one is desir able so is the other. Labor Totes for the Tariff. "Did a laboring man ever seek any legal rights he was not willing to give to others? When the manufacturer prayed for tariff, it was the laboring, man who stood at the polls and directed their candidates to vote lor protection. "Labor now has its other eye open and says It will take some of that protection that protection which builds summer cottages and winter palaces and that protection that takes the manufacturer's family abroad and educates his daughters. The laboring man now says with that same protection I might own my own little home and yearly spend a week or two in the country with my familv. "A tariff on any article Is pnt there to enable the manufacturer to compete with European dealers. The most prominent argument that is brought up is that Ameri can labor will not work for the same wages as the wage earners of Europe. Then comes the fieht between capital and labor. A tariff has afforded a possibility to hope for higher wages, which will never come. They never come because the floodgates between America and foreign countries are always open to admit the masses. You will always lose until you demand better laws govern ing alien contract labor. "Some years ago the telegraph operators from one end of the country to the other de manded almost simultaneously that they be paid higher wages. Yet Jay Gould and the Western Union are doing business at the 'old stand. In two weeks every office was running the same-as ever. The management simply got help elsewhere. Capital was able to do the business then and it has been ever since. Always the Same Besnlt. "It will always be so, until the laws are made to contain better safeguards for the American workingmen's protection." Mr. Layton then recalled the case of the Terra Cotta Lumber Company, which was up in the United States courts a few days at;o. He read the letter that had been written, and showed how the law had been evaded, simply wording the letter in a certain way. He said that he never saw a tighter contract than the letter made, yet under the present laws it was able to slip through. The discussion of Labor Day was taken up after Mr. Layton finished his speech. A resolution was read asking that Labbr Pay be celebrated by a demonstration in Schen lev Park in the afternoon and evening. President Smith, of the Flint Glass Work ers; Assistant President Garland, Secretary Madden and Vice President Dough erty, of the Amalgamated Association, Joseph Evans, L N. Ross, William Ward and Mr. Hayes spoke on the question. They all. favored some general movement on the part of Pittsburg labor in celebrating the day. ' So Decision Trt. The plaintiffs in the Builders' Exchange injunction case filed a number of denials yesterday to the affidavits of the defendants. The Court has reserved its decision indef initely. They Want More Money. One hundred workmen employed by the Marshall Foundry and Construction Com- Eany are outon a strike. They want shorter ours and more money. ONE CKNT a word will pay for an adver tisement In TIIE DISPATCH that will secure yon a situation. CHARGES IK THE H1LITAEY. The Officers of Company E Discharged, and Company I, IStli, disbanded. An order was issued from the Adjntant General's office, Harrisburg, Thursday, dis banding Company I, Eighteenth Eegiment, of McKeesport, and honorably discharging Captain O. C. Coon and Lientenants C G. Lower and J. W. Lautner. The officers of Company E. Eighteenth Eegiment, are also honorably discharged. They are Captain G. J. Bochert, Lieutenants Stitzel and Curran. The above order is the outcome of a conference held by Adjutant General Green land with Colonels Hawkins and Smith sometime ago in this city. General Snow den in his report recommended the trans ferrin): of Company I, Eighteenth, to the Tenth Kegiment, which created quite a stir at the time. Colonel Hawkins, however, declined to take the company, and as there was considerable discussion among the of ficers it was finallr decided to disband the company. Tne officers of Company E were discharged upon the recommendation of the inspector. They were given a chance to re sign at the time, but refused with the above result. An order will be issued for an elec tion' to fill the vacancy. PATRIOTIC D0LLAE8 C0MIHQ Iff. The Fourth of July Celebration Fond Gradually Growing.

SONG BIRDS RETURNING And the English Sparrowi Going Array Schenley Park Is Full or Native Bird Music ChlerBIgelow's Odd Experience With Garter Snake. Naturalists claim that the pesky little English sparrows are gradually growing less numerous In this section. Chief Bige low was the first to notice it, and while not a naturalist, he discussed the matter with a number of gentlemen-who give that sub ject some attention, and they arrived at the same conclusion. With the going of the sparrows there Is a returning of the song birds native to this locality and the chief states that he has al ready this spring seen and heard more of the sweet-voiced warblers than for two years past The oriole, robin, bluebird and red-headed woodpecker are among the most noticeable of the returned exiles, and there are a number of other species which, if they ever were native to this locality, have been forgotten since their forced retirement. No one seems able to explain the departure 6f the sparrows. "Last year," said Chief Bigelow, "I fancied there were fewer of the sparrows at the parks than there had been the previous year, but thought little of it until this spring, when on driving through the parks In the early morning I was struck with the old familiar music ot the wood that I had not heard for years. Since I began giving the matter attention I have observe a number of the bird species that w not to be seen last year, and at the r ,.ie time comparatively few sparrows. Any morn ing at Schenley Park you will hear a beau tiful bird concert and there is no sweeter music. "I saw something at Highland Park the other day that I would like have ex plained," continned the chief, "for to me it was an interesting experience. While walk ing along in the ravine east of the park I noticed a couple of these little birds we used to call chippies or tee-wees, I don't know the scientific name, flying about as if in great distress. I watched them closely for a few moments and found that they hovered around a terrain spot wherein I found a nest, the female bird sitting upon it but making a great outcry. On -my near approach Bhe too fluttered away scolding loudly, and as I stooped to look into the nest in'the hillside I observed for the first time a large garter snake lying watching the nest He paid no attention to me and I killed him easily with a stone. Then I withdrew and the birds after a time returned to their nest and quieted down. Bnt.what was that snake lying there lor? Had he charmed the mother bird, or was he waiting until she would leave the nest in order to get at the eggs?" THE! WATEBED THE MILK. Judge Snccop Criticise! a Weak Story lgr Imposing Fines. An interesting hearing on the adultera tion of milk was before 'Squire Succop yes terday afternoon. The defendants were J. M. Bailey, of Wyland station, and John Gamble, of Beed's Mills. These dairymen are shippers of milk, and among their many market places is that of the Panhandle depot Large quantities of milk have been shipped by these parties, but some com plaints as to the quality reached the ears of ,G. W. McCutcheon. the Meat and Milk In spector. The milk was examined on the train during transit and it was discovered that there was an unnecessary percentage of water in it. At the hearing the defendants said they had put the milk cans in water to cool, and that the water had soaked into the cans in some way. The improbability of the story did not suit 'Squire Succop, who fined each man $20 and costs. 8TJMMEE EXCUESI05 0FENDKJ. The H.&0. Will Run Its First Special Train to Ohio PtIa To-Morrow.

Dense clouds of smoke were thrown off, and the flames from the oakum were so offensive that it was abont impossible for the men to work, and it was feared for a time that a number of other buildings would go. The bookkeeper first discovered the fire, some burning oakum falling down through a skylight onto, his desk. The employes of the firm ran upstairs, and found the third floor full of smoke. The place was stored with oakum, and the flames were darting from the inflammable stuff' in half a dozen places. Four patent fire extinguishers in the place were brought into requisition, but they did no good whatever, and fire alarm box So. 8, at First avenue and "Wood street, was pulled. Driven Back by the Dense Smoke. " By this time, however, the fire had eaten Its way to every part of the third floor, and when the department arrived the dense volume of smoke enveloping the building made it appear as If several stores in the vicinity were doomed. Three additional alarms were sent in, but the engines of the fourth district were not put in use. Lines ot hose were laid like an immense network, and the building was flooded thoroughly and the fire drowned out Arnold Bros, had a stock of boat supplies, pumps, pulley blocks, oakum and gro ceries valued at abcut ?30,000. The oakum consumed and the groceries and other goods destroyed will foot up a loss of about $10,000. This is fully covered by insurance in the Boyal Insur ance Company, through "William Mahan; the Insurance Company of North America, through "William L. Jones, and through the agency of Reno & Johns, all ot whom have 15,000 on the stock. The firm also did a business in preserves and jellies, but were not operating it at present, and the stock of these goods on the second floor of the place was not a large one, and the loss on it will be small. They had also a stock of ISO bar rels ot pitch stored in the cellar, and at one time it was thought thjs was afire, but the flames did not reach it All the Cellars Were Flooded, The fire on the third floor ate away the root and it fell it, but did not increase the damage to any extent. It damaged the building, however, to the extent of about $2,000, but a good insurance was carried on it by the owner, 0. A. C. Moore, of Sewick ley. The great volume of water poured into the buildinz flooded the cellar of Ful ton, Bolman & Co. at 111 "Water street, but created no loss. The office of W. Dewees "Wood, on the second floor of the same building, suffered slightly by the water flowing through, but it only inconvenienced the clerks. The fire was a hard one for the de partment by reason of the heavy, sickly smoke emitted by the ' burning oakum, saturated as the material is by tar. The firemen could only work in the build ing a short time without retreating, and some ten of -them became so ill that they vomited the moment they put their, heads out of a window for fresh air. There was some talk among the crowd of delay in', the department getting to tbe scene, but there was no delay In throwing water, and had the alarm been sent in at once the fire cer tainly would have been cheeked in its early stage. The Eurkea hose burst and some half dozen sections were rendered useless. CHOICE PROPERTIES. LEGAL NOTICE. Dissolution Snle.
