THE 'PITTSBURG DISPATCH MONDAY,' JUNE. ' 27, J 892.
HOPING M PEACE;
Iron Workers Still Believe
That the Wage Troubles
Will Be Settled.
BAD EFFECT OF A STRIKE.
Half the Amalgamated Association
Members Wonld Be Idle.
MILLS IT WOULD CLOSE DOWN.
Conferences 1 his Week Expected to Result
Satisfactorily.
BCALE SENT TO EACH MANUFACTURER
It is now generally believed there trill be
a strike. In the event of such an occur
rence, if all the concerns who have up to
this time refused to sign the scale of the
Amalgamated Association remain firm,
nearly CO mills in this section will be in
volved and from 35,000 to 40,000 men, about
one -half of whom are member of the
Amalgamated Association. The more
prominent mills, which were represented at
the recent conferences with the "Wage Com
mittee under the name of the "Pittsburg
manufacturers," and where there will prob
ably be trouble in case of a strike, are the
Oliver Iron and Steel Company, Jones &
Lauglilins, A. M. Byers & Co., Phillips,
JCimick & Co., J. Painter & Sons, Lockhart
Iron Company, Pittsburg Forge and Iron
Company, Lindsay & McCutcheon, Zug &
Co., Wayne Iron "Works, Jennings Bros. &
Co., andthe Oil "Well Supply Co.
Besides these there arc a great many
other mills that have not been represented
at any of the conferences of the Amalga
mated .Association, and what action they
will take when the final moment arrives
is not positively known, as but few of these
firms have committed themselves in any
isay.
TVliern They Slnnd to Bo Known To-Day.
Their position, however, will be learned
to-day, as on Saturday the official scale for
1892-93 was sent to every roa and steel
mill in this district employing organized
labor. The firms are expected to return
tlies- scales to the Amalgamated Associa
tion, signed or unsirned, and not until all
of thee have been received will the true
status be known.
The contest between the iron and steel
roasters and the Amalgamated Association
has now narrowed down to manufacturers
of muck bar and finished iron and steel in
all shapes. The latter includes a few pipe
and tube mills. The scale of manufacturers
ol tin plate, iron aud steel sheet and wire
rods has been all but signed. Among this
class there are quite a number of mills.
Theie still exists slight differences between
the Amalgamated Association and these
manufacturers, but of such a trivial nature
that it is thought highly probable that
either one side or the other will give in
before July 1.
Notwithstanding the statement of the
Carnegie Steel Company that there would
be no more conferences of their firm with
the Amalgamated Association, it is the gen
eral opinion that there will yetbea settle
ment. The reason given for this is that at
the last conference the trouble was not en
tirely over the minimum price of steel
billets, but the time set for the termination
of the scale. The Carnegie Steel Company
demanded that the ecale end January 1,
1S95, while the Amalgamated Association
asked that the time be fixed for July 1 of
the same year. The company will not state
their reasons for desiring the change, but
at least one Homestead workman has his
idea on the subject, which he offers as fol
lows: A vTorkingman's Side of the Case.
"In the winter months all iron and steel
mills are under a much heavier expense on
account of the extra quantity of coal and
coke that is burned. Therefore, in case of
a heavy fall of price in the output, the Car
nejrie Steel Company could shut down in
the dead of winter and wiit until warmer
weather set in, when their product conld
be turned out at a much cheaper rate.
Then asain during the winter, in case of a
reduction in the wages, the workmen would
not be so likely to make a strong fight, and
their employers could probably freeze them
into submission."
Homebtead was very qniet yesterday.
The workmen are hoping that some settle
ment will be effected before the week is
over. The manufacturers are putting on a
bold front and continue their preparations
for impending trouble. In an interview
with several citizens yesterday it was
learned that the prevailing opinion among
disinterested parties was that although both
sides were mating open declarations of war,
their secret intentions are to make the best
terms possible and that the differences will
yet be amicably arranged.
To-day the delegates to the convention of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel "Workers will meet in Forbes Street
Turner Hall and conclude the business com
menced at the afternoon session on Satur
day, that of the election of officers.

CAUGHT A CLEVER FORGER.
Offlc-r Schmltt Picks lip a Sinn "Who Had
n Small Fortune in Bojns Checks
Tried to Cash Them In Lawrencevllle
roll co Fnzzled.
Hobert Riddle, a very clever forger and
confidence man, was captured in Lawrence
ville Saturday night by Officer Scamitt
The officer was first notified by a woman
that a man was trying to pass bogus checks.
He found the man had gone into Delhanty's
grocery store at 5207 Butler street, and
purchased a couple of dollars worth of
groceries and ofiered in payment a check
lor 27 drawn on the Liberty National Bank
payable to Emile Berger and signed by
Lawrence Benz. It was indorsed by Emilc
Berger. Mrs. Delbanty did not have
enough money to give "him the required
change, and he ofiered to take what she
had, about $13. This aroused her sus
picion and she refused.
Next he went to the shoe store of "William
Ganster and purchased a pair of shoes
valued at S5, offering the same Chech in
payment. Mr. Ganster relused to take the
check, and he next went to Burn's clothing
store, at 5203 and 5205 Butler street, and
was dickering for a suit when Officer
Sehmitt placed him under arrest
"When the wagon came he was put in it
and started for the Seventeenth ward police
station. On the way he made a hard but
inefiectnal struggle to break away. Failing
in this, he appeared to become resigned to
his fate.
Three Away a Focketbook.
Officer Loder, who was on the wagon,
watched him closely and saw him slip his
hand down In his pocket and throw some
thing aw3y. Xhe wagon was stopped ana
Officer Loder picked up what he had thrown
away, which proved to be a pocketbook.
On searching him at the police station a
32-caliber Smith & "Wesson revolver and a
bottle of muriaticacid were found on his per
son. He gave his name as Hobert
liiddle, and said that he was em
ployed by Albert Berif, a contractor
at Kensington. He also stated that
his home was at "Wellsburg, Pa., and that
he had only been here ten days. Upon
looking in his pocketbook $18 90 in money
was found, and several business cards ot
lumber firms in the city Murphy & Die
bold, and Benz Bros, being among them.
A number ot checks were also found. Be
sides the one already mentioned, was a check
dated June 13, 1892, drawn on the City De
posit Bank for f35, made payable to "Walter
Morgan and signed by Lawrence Benz; an
other drawn on the City Deposit Bank for
$46, payable to Charles Moser and signed
by Ferdinand Benz; and also another on the
City Deposit Bank for S30. payable to
James Balston and signed by Murphy &
Diebold. .
Bosus Checks and Warrants.
There was another check drawn on the
Third National Bank for f 100, made pay
able to Bobert Campbell, but it was not
signed, and also a blank check on the First
National Bank, McKeesport. There was
also a receipt given to John A. Caler by the
Adams Express Company for a package
valued at $5. There were several railroad
tickets and a printed business card: "S. D.
Gress, successor to "W. F. Hall, messenger
between Kensington, Parnassus and Pitts
burg." The matter that puzzled the police most
were two warrants, evidently obtained at
an Alderman's office and filled out after
ward. They were for the arrest of Annie
Caler, wife of John A. Caler, on oath of
Herman Caler, charged with infidelity, and
for the arrest of Michael "Wolfe, on o"ath of
John A Caler, charged with larceny. On
the last warrant was written, "Defendant
can be lound at Grape ille, Westmoreland
county, Pa." The warrants were signed,
"James B. Larcum, Alderman, Pittsburg,
June 13." There is no Alderman by that
name in Pittsburg and the police are at a
loss as to what use he intended to make of
the bogus warrants. He was held until his
case can be investigated.
LAST OF THE SEASON.
ConncII Meeting To-Dnv The Poor Farm
Deal TV1I1 Be Closed and Many Con
tracts Approved Electric Licht at City
Hall Inc'ndcd.
The last regular meeting of Pittsburg
Councils before the two-months' summer
vacation will be held this afternoon and,
as there is a large mass of routine business
to be transacted, there will be no lack of a
quorum. The most important matter to re
ceive attention will be tbe ordinance to
purchase Captain Neeld's property on Char
tiers creek for a poor farm. At the Chari
ties Committee meeting the other day the
ordinance was read over that procedure
passing for consideration of tbe measure.
It will be presented to-day and referred to !
the committee, which will withdraw ironi
the chamber and vote to affirmatively recom
mend it Then it will be taken back to
Councils and passed. So far as known
there will be only two or three votes against
it in either branch, and possibly none at all.
Chief Bicelow having satisfied the Mayor
and Controller that he will make use of the
12,000,000 feet of free gas due the city from
the Pittsburg Gas Company, those officials
will not further oppose the lighting of
City Hall with electricity and the Chiefs
award of the contract to the electrio light
company will be approved by Councils so
that the prevailing darkness above the
municipal building can be dispelled to
morrow. Mr. Bigelow has also a large
number of contracts for street and other
improvements which will receive Council
manic sanction. Among these will be the
contract lor building a fancy band stand
and a shelter at Schenley Park. It had
been intended to hare these buildings up
for the celebration next Monday, but it can
hardly be done now.
The disagreement between, the Mayor and j
irounciiH as bu ins ngiib iu approve con
tracts will probably remain unsettled until
after the summer vacation. The Finance
Committee has not held a meeting since
Council last met, and although the City At
torney has written an opinion supporting
tbe position of Councils, it has not been
considered.

Where and How Residents of the Two
Cities Spend the Day.
SEEKING FOR COOL RETREATS.
ahonsands Tate Trains and Go to Lively
ilnral Resorts.
FAMLi" 1'ICNICS IN THE CITT PARKS
How do Pittsburgers spend Sunday is an
interesting question, and one that will re
quire an iudtvidual answer according to the
taste and religious training of each person.
"With many the rural retreats on hot days
are very popular, and the lovers of brooks
and other bucolic scenes take the trains for
the country. Some prefer the mountains,
and not a few stay at home to attend church
and Sunday school. The tired usually re
main in bed all day, and those fortunate
enough to have friends and relatives blessed
with pretty suburban homes pay them a
visit This is a delightful way of spending
the day, if the companionship is agree
able. The truant boy from the Sunday school
class may be found bathing in some secluded
snot along the river, or dallying with the
fly and line. The parks and nearby rural
places are great sources of attraction for the
young people in the afternoon and evening.
The sylvan glades are usually in touch with
souls that beat as one. But whether people
are in search of pleasure, rest or devotion,
their cravings can be satisfied in the two
cities.
Many commercial men and those who can
afford it make it a rule to visit such out-of-the-way
cities as Youngstown aud Akron
on Sunday. They leave here Saturday
afternoon, and return in time for work
Monday morning. Hotel clerks admit that
the festive drummer is becoming rarer in
Pittsburg on Sunday. "When it comes to
prohibiting the sale of innocent drinks,
cigars and newspapers on Sunday then the
metropolitan and cosmopolitan drummers
draw the line.
CROWDS AT OHIO PYLE.
Seven Bnndred Pittsburgers Spend a
Pleasant Day Aram; the Rocks in
Shady Nooks Within the Sound of
Dashing Waters Received by Colonel
Stewart.
The Baltimore and Ohio road had 478 ex
cursionists for Ohio Pyle yesterday. The
train consisted of 12 cars, and made a fast
run through the picturesque mountains
along the Yonghiogheny. Sunday a week
ago the crowd numbered 700, and it varies
from week to week with the weather. The
hotter the day, the greater the exodus to
this beautiful resort It was rather cool
yesterday, and this kept at least 200 from
going. Those who spend one Sunday in the
mountains usually return, and as tbe day
comes around the conductors recognize
many of their passengers.
The people for Ohio Pyle are the better
element who enjoy a day's outing. On the
train were the shopkeeper and the shop
girl, the brawny mill worker with his wife
and children, wealthy merchants, some
lawyers and doctors; in short, all sorts and
conditions of men and women. The fare is
cheap, and is proof that low, popular rates
will yield a good profit
Ohio Pyle itself is a delightful spot in
the wilderness, famous for its falls and
Colonel Andy Stewart, a short-lived mem
ber of the present House.
Tim Colonel Declines to Be Snporesscd.
Partisan and unsympathetic Democrats
turned him out of his seat on legal techni
calities, but the Colonel has lost none of his
geniality and popularity. He was at the
depot when the train pulled in, and greeted
the Pittsburgers he knew with a hearty
grasp of the hand.
"Great place we have here." said Andy
to a party of friends. "Plenty of water,
you know," he added, as he blinked his left
eyelid. "It is good to run our sawmills,"
he continued, "and we are happy. "Wait
till you see the Cucumber Falls and the
Ohio Pyle cascade, take a walk down
Lover'sLane, visit the cliff and take a
drink from the iron spring. If you
won't agree with me that this is a great
place and we are a great people, then I will
eat my hat" The Colonel talks with the
skill of a first-class advertising agent, and
he is justly proud of his family's prop
erty. Ohio Pyle is essentially a basket picnic
town. There are four hotels, and some are
anything but first-class. The rates are gilt
edged in comparison with the service, if
yesterday is a fair sample.
People With Baskets Were All Right.
The food was insufficient in quantity and
lacking in quality, though it might have
been better if properly cooked and served
by intelligent waiters. But these hotels
have been recently opened, and better
things arc promised in" the future. Many
of the people took lunch baskets with them,
and they were fortunate. They enjoyed
their dinners in picnic fashion. The ladies
spread out the edibles in a shady spot, or
down near the falK The young
sters of the families had a gav
Utime, and it was a pleasure
to watch them climbing over the rocks and
wading in the shallow pools. The young
men with their maidens were happy, of
course, and contented with their surround
ings. There is much to see in Ohio Pyle, and it
requires more than a day to cover all the
points of interest. Those who wanted exer
cise and were bent on exploring put in the
hours tramping through the mountains.
Nature must have had a grand old timo
when Ohio Pyle wai thrown up out of the
ancient waters. The elevations are wild
ami irregular, and the Yonghiogheny wind
ins; through the hills adds to the beauty of
the icsne.
A SUNDAY IN WHEELING.
Some of the Tilings Seen in West Virginia'
Blce"t City A Traln'oad or rittubnrg
eri Spent the Day Thero Yesterday.
For diversified resources as a destination
for excursionists, AVhecliug, "W. Vo., prob
ably offers more than any olher place ad
jacent to Pittsburg. In Wheeling one can
get anything. "What is more, theexcnrsion
ists do get everything; that is, they do who
go there upon such a delightful day as was
yesterday.
There is a pleasant ride over the Balti
more and Ohio in therool of the morning
and you arc treated to a fine view of a
great agricultural and industrial country.
Hundreds oS Pittsburgers took the trip yes
terday, more than comfortably filling a long
train of cars.
Upon arrival there is much to da There
is Sam Harrison to see and listen to his
good and bad jokes, which he always tries
on the bell boys before serving regular
dinner at the McClure House. Then there
are the funny looking electric cars to look
at, as they traverse the residence districts;
the City ilall with its coal painted base to
loolvat, and the new bridgetcross tbe creek
to see andthe cafes to visit and the splendid
residences to admire, and the fair daughters
to ogle and the boys to flirt with and the
parks to visit and the river to view, and
the many other things to do, see and hear
that constitute a d.ty in "Wheeling. The
park takes up the best part of the day, as it
is beautiful, cool and remarkable.
The Pride of A'.l Wheeling People.
The park of which the city boasts was
laid out at the dictation of the spirits from
the other world, and is without exception
one of the most wildly beautiful corners of
the earth. The ground la rolling and
mounds, small hills and dales abound.
Looking inward from the gates, which
stand upon a level with the street, the eye
is met by long, graceful avenues, fringed
with trees, bushes and flowers from almost
every clime. The varying shades of green
mingle in strange contrasts, and as a breath of
air comes from the dense grove.ladened with
the sweet perfumes of magnolias, pines and
forest flowers, the senses seem to float
awav into some delightful land of dreams,
white the sweet strains from an excellent
baud steal faintly to the ears.
The property was owned'until some 15
years ago by a peculiar individual named
Hornbrook. His idle hours were spent in
loneliness and communing with nature. His
home was a humble little cottage that still
stands, shadowed by towering oaks, heavily
foliaged maples, sweet-smelling magnolias
and graceful pines, a great distance back
from the street. His nature was as soft.
lovable and pacific as were the silent objects
of his adoration. His wife, a sweet-tempered,
gentle spoken lady, lived as did her
husband, and their hours wer unsullied
with unkind thoughts or harsh words.
Obryed the Commands ot Spirits.
The old gentleman embraced spiritualism
ere the white hair came in to contrast the
black, and soon after his wife alio was con
verted. Many strange tales are told of the
communions held with those long since de
parted. As time moved on the old gentle
man turned his strange belief into channels
of practicability. He sought the advice of
spirits regarding the transplantation of
trees and shrubs. He questioned and they
answered. At their dictation he sent to
tar off China and other alien lands and ob
tained the roots of strange trees. He
planted these in spots pointed out to him
by his unseen friends, and they flourished
and grew. He transplanted the East Indian
gum tree, banana trees, cocoanut, palms
and others that to-day bear living
testimony to his work.
A vein of humor pervaded him and when
he .opened his magnificent possessions to
the excursionists he posted at the beginning
of lanes, and in dales and grottoes, pict
uresque signs. Some read, "This way for
sweethearts,", "A lane where love lurks,"
"A delightful nook for whispers," "None
will overhear vour kisses," "Hugging here
is unforbidden," "Drink to your love's
long life," and many curious similar ones.
PICNICS IN THE PARK.
Families Camp Ont for tho Day in
Schenley' Shady Groves Thousands of
Promenaders In the Evening Throng
the Walks at Highland and in Alle
gheny. Thousands thronged the parks yesterday.
The manifold charms, natural and other
wise, of picturesque Schenley, attracted the
largest number of pleasure-seekers, but a
large contingent journeyed out to the green
clad slopes of Highland, and promenaded
the pleasant walks of the Allegheny Parks. M
The crowd at Schenley was a well-dressed,
contented and thoroughly democratic one.
Old men with gray beards and bent should
ers, young men with budding mustaches
and gaudy cravats, old women in somber
black gowns, young matrons and maids in
gay attire and swarms of happy 'children
we're the component parts ot the throng.
Everybody seemed inspired with the desire
to make the most of his or her outing and
for once everybody succeeded. During the
morning hours a large number of families
arrived and camped out for the day and pic
nicked under the welcome shadows of the
trees. But the bulk of the crowd
came in the afternoon and early eventide.
To the men at least the most notable feature
ofthedaywas the girls. There were girls
and girl's and girls. Even that venerable
reminiscent party, the oldest citizen, could
not recall anything to equal this marvelous
grouping ot fair and fragile femininity.
There were all kinds and conditions of girls,
from the . dainty brunette to the
statuesque blonde. There were girls,
the coloring of whose cheeks rivaled
the pink rosebuds at their belts, and others
with no color at all save the varied tints of
their frocks. Some were decked in the
masterpieces of artistic dressmakers and
some trusted to their natural charms and
were clad in a simple raiment of white. It
was a golden opportunity for glorious
woman, and, like the sensible creature that
she is, she made the most of it The crowd
came early and stayed late, and it was close
on to midnight when the last couple lett
the place, and tired nature and the jaded
elephant were lett to themselves. It was a
glorious Sunday, and even the animals ap
preciated and enjoyed it.
ALLEGHENY'S EXODDS.
Going Oat oTTown Saturday nnd Returning
Sandfly Evening Parties Hade Up for
Ellwood and Other Point Along the
Conn oqaenecslng.
As many as -can afford it in Allegheny
shake off the dust of the city every Sunday.
Some even leave the city Saturday evening.
The Pittsburg and "Western road has the
heaviest travel on Sundays. That road ruus
along the Connoquenessing for, about 20
miles, and that is a great Sunday camping
ground. The ticket agent at the Alle
gheny depot said that yesterday the
road carried about 400 people to these
camping- grounds and about 40 of the
wealthier citizens to Ellwood. The Conno
quenessing is a great place for camping
clubs and parties to go and spend Sunday.
They put in the day in the woods be
tween Zelienople and Ellwood. No ex
cursion trains are run, but the regular
.trains are always crowded.
At the West Penn depot a similar story
was told. One of the men there said the
road usually carried ISO picnickers .out at
noon, but in the evening they bring back
between 400 and 500. The greater part of
them go out Saturday night and return
Sundav evening. The most of them go out
beyoud Tarenlum, but large numbers go to
Guyasuta to play baseball.
The Fort Wayne load also does a big Sun
day business, .especially in the neighbor
hood ot Kock Point. This road carries
from 500 to BOO Sunday visitors. There are
also large numbers who go out Saturday and
return Sundav night
All the Allegheny street railways did a
big business, too, yesterday. Spring Hill
was like an immense beer "garden. Whole
families were out there spending the day
and the majority of them had their beer
with them. There were also a number of
baseball games going, but there was very
little disorder. Further out Spring Garden
avenue there were also a number of family
picnics. In fact, there wasnotagrove within
easy reach of Allegheny that was not so
used.

KEEPING THE POLICE BUSY ON SUNDAT
Ludwig Iesel, a 17-year-old German boy,
whose hard luck story created much sym
pathy for bim when it was printed two
months ago, appeared on the scene yester
day in the role of 'a bold daylight burglar.
He was not permitted to carry his role
through. It was a little too bold to escape
notice even on Sunday in Pittsburg, and
the ambitious youth was locked up in Cen
tral station.
Young Iesel first appeared in this city one
Sunday in the latter part of January. That
night he spent in Central station as a
lodger. He had come from Wiesbaden,
Germany, having fled from his home to
avoid the five years' service in the army
required of all young Germans. He had
been robbed of $200 in Antwerp on his way,
but having his ticket left, continued on his
journey, landing in this city with only a
small grip and a draft for $2 on the Ger
mania Bank. His sister had preceded him
several years to this country, but he had no
idea as to her whereabouts, except that a
letter from her two years ago had been
written from this city.
Became a Thief to Bay Hat
Soon after his arrival, not being able to
find his sister, young Iesel secured a home
with Julius Garbe, a baker, at No. 8460
Butler street, where he was to learn his
trade for his boarding and washing. The
boy remained with Garbe until April 5,
but he had ono great trouble. The hat he
wore had been brought from Germany. It
was an odd-looking tile, and when he went
out on the streets he was guyed by the
other boys on account ot it Not
being able to talk English he only
knew that he was being ridiculed because
of the old hat and he determined to avoid
further annoyance of that kind by getting
another hat. The scriptural injunction
that "Pride goeth before a' fall" was aptly
illustrated in his case. Having no money
and no prospect of getting any, be took a
small sum of money from bis employer's
till, and then, becoming frightened, fled a
terror from the place.
A new derby and a new shirt exhausted
his fuuds and for several nights he slept in
a deserted shed in the East End, while in
daytime he vainly sought for employment.
One day on Penn avenue he met his sister,
a handsome, well-dressed young lady, who
holds a position at an East End Hotel The
meeting was an affecting one, but the boy
failed to tell of his impoverished condition
and left his sister on the street promising to
call on her in a few days. The next night
was bitter cold and after getting his feet
frozen Iesel determined to return to Garbe
and beg forgiveness. It was atter midnight
when He hobbled up to the house. Desir
ing to gain entrance without disturbing
the family he opened tbe kitchen
window and crawled in, coiling up along
side the kitchen stove. The noise he made
wakened Garbe, however, and in a few
moments a constable came in and led him
off to jail. Charges of larceny and
felonious entry were made against the boy.
He acknowledged taking the money but
denied any felonious intentions in entering
the house.
He Attempted a Bold Barglarly.
"When taken to jail it was found his feet
were badly frozen and he had contracted
pneumonia by sleeping out at night He
was placed In the hospital and a few weeks
of careful nursing saved his life. In the
meantime his story had been exclusively
printed in The Dispatch and friend's
came forward. Several ministers, a promi- J
nent attorney and his wife and even one of
the judges took an interest in the boy, but
his release could not be secured until the
grand jury ignored the bill against him on
the fifth of the present month.
What became of him then no one knows.
Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock the
officers at Central station were notified that
a boy was trying to break into a haber
dasher's store at Liberty and Smithfield
streets. Officer Morley went to the place
and found young Iesel. He tried to break
away when captured, but was taken to the
station and searched. On him was found a
new hatchet, from which the handle had
been broken, and a caseknife with a sharp
pointed blade. He refused to tell any
thing about himself or to account for his
actions, weeping bitterly and begging to be
allowed to go home to his mother when led
to a cell.
The padlock on the store door shows evi
dence of the boy's efforts to get in. He had
observed that but few people were on the
street, and being attracted by a number of
silver and paper dollars that had been
placed on garments as an advertisement of
their cost, was trying to get in for the
money. The boy was shabbily dressed and
looks as if good fortune had not smiled on
him since his release from jail. The indi
cations are that he will not be as leniently
dealt with as iu his last trouble.

THE WATER WING
Or American FoI!ticsGather!ng for Busi
nessExtremists on Hand Early Pre
liminary Talks of Some of the Leaders
at Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, June 26. The advance
guard of the National Prohibitionists' Con
vention has been straggling in for several
days. This being the Sabbath, there were
comparatively few arrivals. Of dele
gates and friends of the prohibition
movement there are several hundred in the
oity to-night A mas3 meeting was held
this afternoon at Music Hall, over which
MUs Frances M. Willard, of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, presided. By
the way there are present in the city quite
a large number of members of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. Miss Wil
lard, in assuming the chair at the Mdsic
Hall mass meeting, made a characteristic
address, in which she expressed her full
sympathy with Prohibition policies and ex
horted the party to enter upon a radical ag
gressive policy.
The first speaker was Mr. Boole, a dele
gate from New York. He reviewed the
progress and prophesied the ultimate suc
cess of prohibition. It was of no use to
look for an efficient enforcement of prohibi
tion laws elsewhere than from the Prohibi
tion party.
Rev. A. B. Leonard, formerly of Ohio,
Once a Prohibition candidate for Governor
of this State, spoke next He violently
attacked the license system as making the
State particeps criminis. In review
ing the" prospects of the prohibition
movement he called attention to
the rapid advances it had made in many
States in the South. Mr. Samuel Dickie,
of Michigan, made the closing address,
dwelling on the crime and immorality
which the liquor business causes. He ad
vocated nothing less than the total destruc
tion of the liquor traffic.
In an interview on the subject of plat
form this evening Miss Willard, speaking
for herself, said she would like to see en
grafted in it a plane for the total sup
pression of the liquor traffic and a wo
man's suffrage plank. As to the labor
plauk, she herself is a Christian
Socialist, and would like to see a labor
plank formed accordingly. She was in
favor of one term for the President and for
dispensing with wars by means of arbitra
tion. On the tariff and money questions
she wouldrefer a moderately conservative
plank.
BREAKING THE RECORD.
The Number of Violent Death In Allegheny
County for This Month May Exceed In
Number the Victims of tho Oil Creek
Calamity.
The present month of June seems destined
to make a new record for the number of
violent or sudden deaths. Up to last night
there had b:en 99 such deaths reported to
Coroner McDowell, and but 26 days have
elapsed. The greatest number of deaths
have been due to drowning, and that cause
is followed very closely by those due to oil
explosions. The very first death ot the
month was from that cause, and, sad to re
late, it was the death of the Coroner's
own brother, William rcDowell, who was
fatally burned in an heroic effort to save the
property of his landlord threatened by de
struction irom a lamp explosion.
From that.tlme on scarcely a day went by
that a death from a similar cause was not
reported from some point of the two cities J
or county, xne total numoerwiu proba
bly equal those who met death bv burning
oil in either Oil City or Titusville, and at
these places the loss of lite was deemed
a calamity. Steam railways, too, have
caused many deaths, and together with the
suicides, ot which there were more than
usual, will nearly make up the list The
heat has caused some half a dozen, but not
more than is very often the caae in the sum
mer months.
Coroner McDowell said last night he
thought the total sudden deaths for the
month wonld finally exceed any heretofore
in the history of the county.
WHY THE UHIEBEIFIED KICK. .
Unopened Boxes of Tickets Found to
the
Driest Seats In the Wigwam.
Chicago, June 26. Mr. Winston has
discovered in the National Committee's
headquarters at the Palmer House two
boxes ot tickets of 1,000 each, neither of
which had been opened. They were tickets
to sections C and D, the acknowledged best
sections of the Wiginan.
In view of the fact that so many were
prohibited from attending tbe convention
through supposed lack of space and the
poor accommodation accorded the press rep
resentatives, the discovery has created a
stir among politicians.
