-3L 'rw READY T0JREL1EVE, CliaritaWe Citizens to Form a Permanent Organiza tion to Answer ANY CRY FOE ASSISTANCE. Mayor Gonrley to Call a Meeting to Put the Plan in Kiecution. A FUND TO BE ALWAYS ON HAND. More Money Needed for the Belief of the Oil Citj Victims. C0NTBIBUT10NS SI ILL POURING IK Charity is becominc practical in this city. There is a movement now on foot lor the organization of a permanent relief com mittee to be ready for emergencies such as Lave been precipitated upon this end of the State so frequently of late years, and to which Pittsburg has contributed so lib erally to relieve those who have suffered. The suggestion was made by S. S. Marvin at the meeting of the Titusville and Oil City relief committee held yesterday morn ing, and was taken up promptly as an ex cellent idea by the balance of the members. The plan as explained by Mr. JIarvin is to make the Mayor chairman of the perma nent organization so long as his tenure of office holds, and when his successor 1b in augurated he takes the place. Other offi cers are to be elected by the committee from its membership for a stated period. The principal object of the organization will be to be ready at a moment's notice to proceed with the work of relief in any case of acci dent, flood or other disaster without the de lay necessary where, as now, a public meet ing must be called, committees appointed and moneys collected before a step can be made. To Bo Randy for any Erne rjency. Under the supervision of the main com mittee there will be sub-committees to whom will be apportioned certain lines of work so that every contingency will be covered andmet promptly without consulta tion wifh other persons. One feature of the organization will probably be the creation of a permanent iund of ready cash that will be available for the immediate relief and assistance always necessary in a great calamity such as that which devastated the Oil Creek Valley ten days ago. Mayor Gourley is heartily in sympathy with the proposed organization and at the suggestion of Mr. Marviu will call a meet ing of the prominent citizens of the two cities who, in time of necessity, are always ready and willing to do more than their share in relieving suffering and distress, for the purpose of discussing the proposition. If it meets wiih favor the organization will be formed at once. The meeting will be held this or early next week. Demanded by Pittsburg's Location. '"The commercial and geographical situa tion of Pittsburg," said the Mayor last night, "demands that she be always ready lor emergencies. I don't believe there is a city in the country where a greater necessity ex ists lor a permanent relief organization than this. Philadelphia and other more impor tant cities of the country already have such bodies, aud they have, upon more than one occasion, rendered invaluable sen-ice in time of disaster. Pittsburg is the grent manufacturing center of the country, and in our countless great workshops and fac tories there is an ever-present danger to hu man life among the toilers upon whom our prosperity depends while there are numer ous other possibilities of disaster here such as any other city has cause to fear. More over history has. demonstrated that our geo graphical situation is such that we are likely at any time to have precipitated upon us or our neighbors a flood like that which only recently visited Oil City and Titusville and within a few years other districts in our State. With such a committee as this the moment a flood or other calamity oc curred representatives could be hurried to the scene and within a few hours substan tial, intelligent aid could be rendered. Thf Major Expects a Ready Response. "I believe that if a permanent relief fund were established under the care of such a committee it would be as generously sup ported as have been calls for relief in times of disaster in the past, and opportunity would be afforded to charitably inclined men of wealth to make subscriptions to a charity of the most practical kind. The lessons our people have learned in matters of this kind have educated them to such a movement as this, and I expect that at the meeting to be held this week or next no difficulty will be experienced in perma nently organizing." In connection with the Oil Creek disaster the local relief committee yesterday re ceived information that somewhat surprised them. It nad been supposed that when the funds on hand would be distributed among the suflerers there would be comparatively little more to be done, but from a report made by John Eaton, of the Oil Well Sup ply Company, who has been making an in vestigation of the necessities of the people in the stricken district, ?200,000 more will be required to meet the absolute wants of the suflering people. Senrtlnc Money to tbe Sufferer. The committee vesterdav sent $6,500 to Titusville, and 3,500 to Oil City. From all the information the committee has re ceived 580,000 has been sent to the two cities from all sources, of which 528,000 has been contributed by Pittsburg and Alle- gneny, tne Pittsburg ltelief Committee having raised $20,295 of that sum. The committee hopes that the contributions from Pittsburg and Allegheny will be increased to $50,000. There is now just $295 in Treasurer Thompson's hands, and the com mittee earnestly begs that those who have not already contributed will forward such sums as tneymay feel able to give at the earliest possible moment to Treasurer Thompson. A brief statement of the condition of sffairs at Oil City and Titusville was re ceived by the committee yesterday from Chairman Boag, of the Oil City Belief Committee. It states that the circumstances of last Week were such that accurate statis tics could not be prepared, that all their time was employed in burying the dead and caring for the living. A careful estimate places the number of houses burned, flooded or destroyed at more than 200, and the num ber of people assisted will exceed 700. Several Bodies Are Still Missing. The number of burials to date has been 61, and several are still missing. There is no insurance whatever on the loss by flood and very little on dwellings burnedC The total receipts have been $45,000, of which $10,000 has been spent. By the destruction of manufactories the earning and support ing power of the working people has been loBt and they must be maintained for an in definite period. They must be provided with homes and support until thev can be self-supporting. The letter also states that a committee from Erie examined the dis trict yesterday morning and believed the loss much greater than Had been reported. The following contributions were received by Treasurer William B. Thompson yester day: Wellsville Plate and Sheet Iron Com pany, Wellsville, O., $100; J. 8.

P. O., $L HEAELY KILLED THE BABY. Charles Kopr Hurls a Mirror With Prob ably Fatal Results. Charles Kopf, a stonemason, who resides on Bryant street, Nineteenth ward, wai arrested and locked up in the Nineteenth ward station yesterday afternoon for assault ing and nearly killing his baby child. Kopf was drunk and on going to his home got into a quarrel with his 19-year-old step daughter, Bertha Bunker. The man be came enraged at something the girl said and grasping her by the throat ehoked her until she was black in the face when the mother inter fered and saved the girl from further injury. Kopf then went into the kitchen and finding his face scratched became en raged and grasping a looking glass from the wall made for the step daughter once more, when the wife, who had picked up the 4-weeks-old baby from the cradle, again interfered. The infuriated father hurled the glass at the stepdaughter, but instead of striking her the glass caught the baby on the head, inflicting a deep and ugly gash, producing unconsciousness, in which condition the child was still laying at a la.te hour last night, notwithstanding the efforts of physi cians. The prisoner is 48 years old, and has only been in this country about eight months. HAD A HIGH OLD TIME. Tlie Thermometer Takes an Upward Course anil Climb to the Top. The festive temperature had a jolly time yesterday dallying about the 90 mark with a cruel disregard for the perspiring indi viduals who derive a singular enjoyment of ill-nature by watching its take it fleeting way upward. Sergeant Stewart, of The Weather Bureau, had a jolly and festive time also, only he did not have anything to do with the thermigraf, which, by the way, is a term the Sergeant, in a moment of his glee at seeing his predictions come true, gives to his electrical thermometer. The weather took an unkind turn about 8 o'clock yesterday morning, when it frantically rushed to the 80 mark, and a little later climbed up a little higher, and stayed there until every man wished him self an Esquimaux or something else de lightfully cold. But somehow or other their wishes did not come true, and they stayed and sweltered until the dews of even ing tell. An unknown Pole about 22 years f age received a sunstroke while laboring at the Mansfield Coal and Coke Company's works at Mansfield, and died before a physician arrived. This is the first fatal case of sun stroke yet reported. Coroner McDowell will hold an inquest to-day. BLEW TIP THE HqrjSE. An Allegheny Man Seek Revenue After a Family Quarrel. Joel Crawford, of No. 5 'Manhattan street, Allegheny, was arrested yesterday on a charge of arson. Late Monday night he went home intoxicated and began quar reling with his wife. Becoming very angry he rushed down stairs into the cellar, and securing a hatchet he commenced to cut the gas pipe. Having severed the pipe he ig nited the gas and an explosion occurred. This aroused the neighbors, who rushed to the scene of.the explosion. Crawford's wife met them at the door and explained that her husband n as trying to blow the house up. Two men entered the cellar, and, after a struggle, overpowered Crawlord, but he broke away and escaped and was not captured until vesterdav. In the meantime an alarm had been sounded, and on the arrival of the engines the fire was easily extinguished. No other reason is assigned for the deed than that Crawford bad been on a protracted spree of several months and was temporarily insane. TATHEB H0LLIHGEB UNWELL. He Hopes to Be Oat Again To-Day to Bless the Sick. The illness of Father Mollinger has caused tne immense throng that eagerly watched for an opportunity to get an inter view with the aged priest to give up in despair, and yesterday the crowd had dwindled away. Many left because their money, of which none of them have a very liberal supply, gave out and they were compelled to go home. None of the patients are of the wealthy class, most of them being very poor and could barely raise sufficient money to pay their fare here. Father Mollinger is still confined to his room, but it is thought he will be able to be out to-day. Father Myers, of Pitts burg, conducted i-ervices Vesterdav in Father Mollinger's place, but the multitnde was not satisfied it is Father Mollinger they want, for in him is their faith. ATTACKED BY A D0Q. Little Mary Wright Loses Her Foot by a Bite. Mary Wright, the adopted daughter of John P. Wright, the well-known restaurant keeper on Penn avenue, was so badly bitten in the leg by a ferocious dog last evening that it was necessary to amputate the foot above the ankle. She is 13 years of age and was playing in the street when a huge black dog, ow'ned by E. "Wisenmueller, attacked her and bit her on the foot and ankle. Dr. Clark was summoned and found it necessary to amputate the injured member. Mr. Wright appeared before Alderman Kerr and made an information against Wisenmueller for keeping a ferocious dog. Later he withdrew the charge when he learned that Constable James Jack had killed the animal. TWO DBOWHIHG ACCIDENTS. A 5-Tear-OId Boy and a Tonne Man Find Tvalery Graves. Frank Graff, a 5-year-old boy, was drowned yesterday afternoon in Chartiers creek at Mansfield. The little fellow, in com pany with some others, went in bathing and getting beyond his depth was drowned before assistance could reach him. The Coroner will investigate to-day. Woods Baine, aged 20, was drowned in the Monongahela river at Demmler station last evening and the body was shortly after ward recovered. The Coroner was notified but no further particulars were learned. Contesting: Tor a Medal. In the elocution contest of the Pittsburg remale College for the E. P.

Pleasant Tallej and Manchester Beady to Consolidate. Soads NEWS FROM THE WORLD 0P LABOR Will it be peace or war? is the all im portant question agitating the minds of the iron and steel manufacturers and the dele gates to the Amalgamated Convention. At 2 o'clock this afternoon a committee repre senting the manufacturers will meet a com mittee from the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers when the scale of the latter organization for the ensuing year will be presented for approval and then it will be definitely decided whether the manufacturers and their men will continue their present friendly relations and work in harmony fot another 12 months or whether there will be a strike. What the outcome will be no one is pre pared to venture, but that the matter will be practically decided to-day is a foregone conclusion. President Wcihe said last evening: "At the close of to-day's meeting the delegates were still discussing the scale, but by noon to-morrow the arrangements will be so far perfected that we will be ready to meet the manufacturers. I believe the time set for this meeting is 2 o'clock in the alternoon, but where it will take place I am not at this time prepared to state. However, the manufacturers will send us word early enough to enable our committee Itobe present." The Delegates Were Deeply Interested. During the afternoon session yesterday the character of the business transacted must have been of the utmost importance, for at no time during the convention has the gathering been so demonstrative and noisy. Shout after shout rang through ihe hall and re-echoed until it reached the ears of the pedestrians on the street. The usual mystery which has charac terized all the meetings of the association prevailed. No outsiders were allowed near the entrance to the hall and to make matters more interesting, Secretary Madden would at intervals run out into the corridor and whisper some intelligence to a few of the delegates outside, when all would speedily return to the meeting room and be lost to sight behind the large folding doors. When the meeting finally adjourned the delegates seemed in a more enviable frame of mind than they were the day be fore, as with few exceptions the men were smiling and seemed heartily pleased. ADout tne same time tne Amalgamated delegates were in session yesterday after noon a committee of manufacturers were holding a meeting in the People's Bank. This was also an executive session, and what steps were taken has not been made public, but it is pretty well established that no very important business was considered, the meeting being merely a preliminary one in which it was decided how, where and at what time the Amalgamated committee would be met by the manufacturers. TVelht) and Madden to Retire. Officers of the association for the ensuing year will be elected next week and it is ex pected President William Weihe and Sec retary Stephen Madden will retire after the Ir'official term expires in October next The withdrawal of both gentlemen was not hastily decided upon, but was contemplated for some time past aad after due considera tion. There were at different times stories circulated that internal dissensions existed between the gentlemen above named, but there is no truth in the statements. The most friendly relations have steadily existed between them, and both have aided each other in the performance of their respective duties at ail times. As to the successors of the retiring officers, although nothing posi tive is known, it is presumed that Assistant President M. M. Garland will be elected chiet officer, while John C Kilgallon, the assistant secretary, may succeed Mr. Mad den. Mr. D. B. Oliver, general manager of the Oliver Iron and Steel Company, when seen last evening said: ''I would rather not talk in reference to the situation between the Amalgamated Associatiou and the man ufacturers just at present, as the more the matter is agitated now the worse It will make it." When informed of the intention of President Weihe and Secretary Madden to retire at the end of their present term, he further said; "I am very sorry to hear of it as matters are now assuming a serious outlook and the association needs old and experienced men at the helm." No rolltlcs In the tna'gamited. Mr. B. F. Jones, of Jones & Laughlin, last evening referred to the report which claimed that some of the members of the Amalgamated Association had said all along they had looked to the Republican party to uphold the standard of their wages, and intimated that it the scale was reduced they would renounce their alle giance to that party and turn toward the Demqcrats. Mr. Jones said: "The inter ests ot the manufacturers aud men are alike in many respects. One thing is positive, what will affect the men will affect the manufacturers, therefore I do not believe that there is anv truth in the report. An other point which contradicts it is that the Amalgamated Association is not a political organization, being made np ot both Repub licans and Democrats, all of whom when the proper time arrives cast their individ ual votes as they deem proper." All of the iron mills of the Mahoning Valley will shut down ifjthe manufacturer's reduction of an average of 20 per cent in wages is not accepted by the Amalgamated Association. Snch was the statement made by Henry B. Shields, of Girard, O., to a Dispatch mau at the Duquesne Hotel last night and corroborated by J. Morgan Coleman and General Asa W. Jones, ot Youngstowu. Mnnnfactnrers Want a Redaction. "Business is miserable," continued the iron manufacturer, "and we find it im possible to operate the mills at the present rate of wages. There must be a substantial re duction mad e,and if the workmen do notagree we will be obliged to close the mills until the present stagnation ot bnsmess is over. The cause of this stale of affairs is over production, as u e have on hand much more material than there is any demand tor. " "Has the iron production of the South anything to do with the Northern over-production?" "Indeed, it has," spoke up Mr. Coleman. "The Southern manufacturers are rapidly coming into the foreground, and Northern iron men are beginning to feel their weight Why, about one-third of my iron ore comes from Alabama, where a short time ago I thought it was too poor for any uses ot value, but I erred '"greatly in my surmises, as I have since found out The South has some very desirable ore within her hills," concluded Mr. Coleman. READY TO CONSOLIDATE. The Bpadi to Merc" on a Capitalisation of 85,000,000. It is possible that before many days go by the Pleasant Valley Company will consoli date with the Manchester Traction Com pany. The latter organization has made favorable concessions and the deal, unless some unforeseen accident occurs, is now very near consummation. ' Secreiary W. H. Graham, of the Pleasant Yallev line, said yesterday: "The consoli dation of the Pleasant Valley and Man chester lines is being discussed. There have been several meetings, but all of these have been of a preliminary nature. What the final outcome will be is not positively known." The contemplated capital of the combins, DISPATCH.

There has been a quiet movement on foot for some time past among the green bottle manufacturers of this city for the purpose of organizing a combination similar to the United States Glass Company. The plans of this combination, if successful, will differ from the new company in one respect. Instead of operating the plants now owned by those interested in thq new scheme, it is the intention to dispose of the different pot furnaces now being operated and in their place erect a number of continuous melting tanks. In this movement alone the manu facturers will be enabled to considerably lessen the cost of production. , Mr. Thomas Wightman, whose company, it is said, is interested in the new venture, when asked last evening what progress had been made, said: "Several meetings have already been held, but nothing has been done outside of discussing the feasibility of organizing such a company: There is no truth in the statements that the new com pany is all but organized and that the site, mode of manufacture and other details have been completed, and as I said before, the matter is merely being discussed, and so far as I know nothing has been done toward com pleting the deal." , EX-SECEETAEY CAKE INDICTED. The Bigs) my Case Falls Through Owing to a Peculiar Law. The grand jury yesterday acted on the case of George L. Cake, the ex-Secretary of the Window Glass Workers' Association, who is charged by his brother-in-law, D. L. Williams, with infidelity and bigamy. They returned a true bill in the infidelity esse, but ignored the bigamy charge. Under the interpretation of the act of Pennsylvania relating to bigamy a man is not indictable on that charge unless he marries both wives in this State. Mr. Cake married his first wife in JNew Jersey, and therefore under this interpretation could not be indicted. Mammoth Foundry at Braddock. A large foundry adjunct will be erected at the Edgar Thomson mills at Braddock. The work will be commenced in a few days. The site will be on the west side of Turtle creek, near the mam plant The new con cern will be one of the largest of its kind in the country and will give employment to 100 workmen. Here moldings for the Ed gar Thomson, Homestead and Duquesne works will be manufactured. Settled With the Engineer!. The trouble between Manager Dillon and the engineers at the Carnegie Union Mills was definitely settled yesterday by the de mands of the engineers being granted. Con sequently a strike that would probably have closed the works was avoided. AFTEB THE D0CT0B8. The Coroner Insists That They Did Not Froperly Care for John Olezl. The Coroner's investigation was begun yesterday on the death of John Olexi, the Polish laborer run over by an engine on the Monongahela connecting railroad on Monday, and who died after being three hours at the Homeopathic Hospital. The hospital physicians testified that death had resulted from shock. They had been wait ing for a recovery from the shock to begin an operation, but the reaction did not come. The doctors maintained that the femoral artery had not been severed, as claimed by the Coroner, but he insisted that it had, been torn open and was clogged with dirt, which had not been washed away by the physicians. He adjourned the inquest un til to-day, and will have further evidence produced. He intimates that carelessness on the part of the doctors will be shown. For n New Hospital. Negotiations for the purchase of nine acres of land situated on Duquesne Heights for the erection and establishment of a water cure hospital have been formally con summated. An Eastern syndicate, repre sented by Mr. Kelly, of this city, are the purchasers, while John L. Vaughn, of the West End, made the transfer. The site commands a delightful view, and is in every facility an ideal spot for the use of such an institution. The Last Dividend. Fifteen per cent is the amount of the div idend which the defunct Farmers and Me chanics Bank will pay to the depositors some time during next week. This divi dend, added to those already paid, makes 50 per cent that the depositors have received in settlement of their original claims. This will in all probability be the total amount that the creditors will obtain, as the last assets of the institution have been dis posed of. Vicissitudes of a Soldier. Hugh Hanlon, an old soldier, entered suit before Alderman McPike yesterday, charging Mrs. Kinney with disorderly con duct They reside on Twenty-eighth street, and he alleges that during 'a quarrel she called him a "miserable Democrat," and said: 'You were in the army two months resting'and now vou draw a pension from a Republican administration. She was held for a hearing. SHORT ST0BIE9 OF CITY LIFE. Mrs. Maggie CuMxrxos, or No. 23 Foderal stret, was arrested last night for running a "speak-easy."

Some of Mr. Blaine's Fatal Political Moves Pointed Oat A REPUBLICAN SUCCESS PREDICTED "McKinley was not a traitor to President Harrison in the Minneapolis Convention, and Congressman Bergen, of New Jersey, was mistaken when he said he was." So said General Asa W. Jones, of Youngs town, O., at the Duquesne Hotel last night. General Jones continned by saying: "I have known Major McKinley too long to donbt him now. Why Congressman Ber gen made the Statement he did, I do not know, but I am certain he was mistaken. "Major McKinley went into the conven tion a Harrison man, he was a Harrison man during the convention and he came out of the convention a Harrison man. To be more concise, he was true to the President throughout" "How would Major McKinley have re ceived his own nomination?" asked The Dispatch man. "With deep regret," replied General Jones." I don't think he sought the nomi nation at all." V Mr. Blaine's Mistake. "How about Blaine?" "Blaine made one mistake," returned the Yonngstown capitalist, "and that was his refusal to come out as a candidate four months age. Had he done that, he would have been nominated by acclamation and he would have been elected. He hesitated too long. His own people were kept in suspense too long, and as a result they did not have an opportunity of working for him as they should have had to secure the nom ination." "How do yon feel towards the nominee?" "I feel that his election means another four years of business progress and pros perity. President Harrison has made a most satisfactory Chief Executive of this country. He is an able man in every sense of the word, and he is the man for the office. I shall support him and I expect to see him elected." Would Have Preferred Blaine. Republican Delegate H. E. Megrew, Assistant Sergeant at Arms of the National Republican Committee, passed through the city last night, on the fat mail, en route from Minneapo lis to Washington. He talked with a Dis patch man while his train was at the Union depot He said that while he did not wish to critioise the administration he thought the coming election would have come nearer being a great Republican suc cess with Blaine at the head of the ticket than with Harrison. "The people wanted Blaine," he con tinued, "and Blaine should have been given the nomination." "What do you know about the Democratic situation?" "I believe Cleveland will be the Demo cratic nominee and the contest will be strictly a party issue. Coming East from Chicago I fell in with some delegates to the Ohio State Convention and learned the delegates to the National Convention would be just about evenly divided between Hill and Cleveland." Mayor E. O. Emerson, of Titusville, was a guest at the Anderson last night He emphatically told a Dispatch man that he considered the New York story, that the Republican club had decided to request all the Republican clubs of the country to unite in asking Presi dent Harrison to withdraw his name from the ticket aud if he refused, to refrain from registering, to be a canard. "Not a word of truth in the entire story in my es timation," he continued, "and it will take some good practical illustrations to disabuse my mind ot the belief; President Harrison has a good record and is a man upon whom the people may depend, and the strongest political bodies of the country are not going to take anv such action. The story is ab surd upon the face of it" HE PLAYED DOUBLE. A Young .Englishman Locked Up for Having Two Wives. Thomas Thompson, a young Englishman, was arrested and locked up in Central sta tion charged with bigaaiy. Thompson came to this conntry about a year ago and was employed at an iron mill. He lived at Hazelwood. He joined church and became an active worker in the Sunday school. In his religious work he met Miss Agnes Mill wood, a bright and pretty girl of 19 years of age. He wooed the girl and the two were married about six months ago. Recently the young wife discovered that her husband has a wife and family in England. The suit for bigamy followed. Thompson hopes to be released to-day. Took a Fighting 'Fit Henry Bush, a young man living with his parents at the corner of South Thir teenth and Sarah streets, had a fit yester day afternoon.

ThU Remits In aTemporary Victory for Zleldlac Judge Bredln Will Appeal to Court A Peculiar Feature ot the Baker Ballot law. The special election in the Fourth ward, Allegheny, to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of Mayor Kennedy from Select Councils, took place yesterday. The contest was between John Fielding, Re publican, and Judge Bredin, a Democrat, indorsed by citizen The total number of votes cast was 1,165, Fielding. receiving S87 and Bredin 682. There were 687 votes cast for Bredin, but five votes were thrown out on account ot not being made out in the proper manner. The five defective votes were in the Ninth precinct and were not counted be cause the cross was made in the square op posite the word "Citizens" designating the party, instead of opposite Bredin's name. The law reads "A cross marked in the square at the right of the party name indi cates a vote for all the candidates for that partT." In this case it is held by Judge Bredin's friends, that as he was the only can didate on the ticket, it made no difference whether the cross was in the square desig nating a vote for the whole ticket, or in the square opposite his name. The case will be appealed to court for a decision, and if the decision is reversed and the five rejected votes are counted it will result in a tie vote, and the election will have to be held over again. The number of votes cast in each pre cinct were: First, Fielding, G3; Bredin, 30; second, Fielding, 16; Bredin, 24; third, Fielding, 40; Bredin, 61; fourth, Fielding, 47; Bredin, 62; fifth, Fielding, 47; Bredin. 74; sixth, Fielding, 74; Bredin, 63; seventh, Fielding, 97; Bredin, 35; eighth, Fielding, 62; Bredin, 64; ninth, Fielding, 40; Bredin, 95; tenth, Fielding, 91; Bredin, 74.
