THE PITTSBTJRGr ' DISPATCH., TUESDAY, JUNE. 28, l'ft92: facturers, realizing the difficulty of arriving at a settlement 3Iany of .Homestead's most prominent citizens are of the opinion that the tronble there will yet he amicably settled and one, to strengthen his assertion, says if the scale of the Carnegio Steel Company, with its recent concessions, be signed, the highest paid workmen will not lose over 75 cents on every 100 tons. He also claims that if the company signs the scale the excess would only amount to from 525,000 to f40,000 per annum, while it will cost the firm lullv $1,000,000 to stand a strike. The workmen, on the other hand, claim they are in a better position to know the true situation than any disinterested partlcs They unite in statins that there will cer tainly be a strike, as the firm's movements in the past three weeks point stronglv t such a result. One employe said: "Thc Carnegie Steel Company has shown aU along that it prefers to operate its mills witli non-union men than to employ organ ized labor, and it was pretty generally known that it would raise some point at this year's conference to which the Amalgamated Association wonld not agree and consequently trouble would ensue. To prove this the firm began preparations for a conflict a long time previous to their con ference with the workmen; even before they knew whether or not their scale would be accepted." rinkrrton Detectives at Homestead. A Homestead correspondent furnishes the following: "To-day a little incident occurred here that created a great deal of excitement for the time, as it bears directly on the situation here between the Carnegie1: and Analcamated men. Strangers had been noticed lounging about this place for some time, and but little attention was paid them. To-day it was reported that they were Pinkerton men, and also that several ol the coal and iron police, who had patrolled the coke regions during the lae strike, were in the city, and watching the movements of the men. A committee was at once appointed to look up the suspected strangers and ask their business here at this time. The two men were found in Nick Schwarz's saloon. They were quietly drinking beer and talk ing over the labor situation with the proprietor. Without any explanation what ever, the workmen walked up to them and demanded their business. "Oh, we are only here looking around. We have a little pri vate business to attend to," said one of the men. "You are only looking around, are you?" queried one of the committee "Well, the best thine you can do is to get out, and do your looking around from some other sea port." The strangers protested that they were only looking into" their private affairs, and had nothing to do with the mill troubl -. "I know you," broke in another mem ber of the committee. ''I saw you both several years ago. I worke? at Joliet then, and you watched the mills there dur ing the strike. Get out" Lett ths Town in a Harry. Thc fellows were given half an hour to leave towu. They were followed to the depot by a crowd ot hooting men and boys. The workmen kept aloof, but the word that two Pinkertons were being rnn out of town soon spread and they had a most uncomfortable wait at the depot. Word was received here to-nieht that at least 200 PinkertonB and members of the Coal and Iron Police will be here Taursday next. again permitted to co to work bv the Amal gamated Association. The spokesman of the party made a clear statement of what his countrymen expected to do should trouble arise. He 6aid that they all real ized they must have a head, or controlling power. Usually in strikes, or in the event of any trouble, they were too radical, The'workmen received great encourage ment to-aay irom the laborers. A commit tee of foreigners waited on the several lodees of the Amalgamated Association and informed the officers that they had decided to stick by the organization to the last man. Several hundred ot these foreign workmen, comprising the better element of Slavs and Hungarians, met and voted unani mously to strike when ordered and to remain out until they were and as a result suffered the worst "In every fight they were at the front and in every retreat they were in the rear. They were uncontrollable when their passions were once aroused, unless they had a leader, and he asked that a representative American bo appointed to take charge. Their request was complied with, and the laborers were tolled ofl into six squads. Over each squad there was placed a cool-headed, conservative American, whose actions will De guided by orders from higher officials, and whose orders the foreigners have sworn to obey. Both the firm and men are pre pared lor a struggle which the better class hopes and believes will not come. EEFTJSED TO SIGN. The Tonngftown Stills 'Will Close on Tiinrxlay Jilght.

SpcciaL The new Amalgamated scale adopted by the convention at Pittsburg was presented to-day to the 3Iahoning Valley Iron Com pany and Cartwright, McCnrdy and Company, each of whom refused to sign it.

Foatroaster McKean Brings TJp His Offlca Into the First Grade or the First Class Insured a Mce Increase in His Animal Salarv. Postmaster McKean is expected to arrive home this moruiu lrom Atlantic Citr. To-night Mr. McKean will go to Washing ton, where he will present to the Postoffice Department a report of the business of the Pittsburg office during the past year. The report will show a largely increased busi ness for the year, will guarantee an increase in the postmaster's annual salary of 51,000, and will advance the assistant postmaster's salary about 5600 a year. The efforts of Postmaster McKean and his associates to raise the grade and class of the Pittsburg postoffice has provoked much lavoraDle comment and has been considered highly commendable. The postoffice of the United States are divided into 13 classes and many more grades. When Postmaster McKean as sumed charge of the Pittsburg office it was in the lourth grade ot the first class. Two years ago it was advanced to the second grade in the first class. A year ago it was advanced another grade, which is based on a business of $500,000 or over.

It was stated that the meeting would be for the purpose of declaring the long strike off When Special O'Brien was seen he denied this and said that the object of the meeting would be for the elec tion of officers. He says only 40 of the bricklayers are on the strike 'benefit pay roll, the rest being at work. G'ass Works to Clos'r.

WATERED HIS WINE; That Is the Beason Cyprien Yerner Gives for Shoot- ins: His Brother. A. MAD CHASE TO DEATH. He Sajs He Was Directed to Commit the Murder in a Dream. TRIED TO KILL THE CONSTABLE, And 1 hen Narrowly Escapes Lynching hy the Maddened Mob. JEALOUSY CAUSES A RIOT AT RANKIN Inspired with the hope ot bettering his financial oondition, and nerved for his bloody task by sundry drinks of cheap whisky, a coal miner named Cyprien Yerner shot and fatally wounded his elder brother August yesterday at high noon. It was cold, deliberate and premeditated, for according to the attending physician the victim's hours are numbered and he will be cold in death before the close of another day. The murderer, after arming himself with one of those ugly and ponderous imported revolvers familiarly known as the "English bulldog," sought out his brother, and, after a fexr angry words, pulled the weapon from the pocket of his coat and began firing. At first his aim was un certain and the bullets hissed wide of the human mark. It was this poor marksman ship, caused, perhaps, by the eager ness of his passion-racked assail ant, that enabled the victim to prolong his life for a few moments by flight. But this brief delay only maddened the would-be murderer. When his brother tied he followed. Down the sloping hill side sprinted the pursued and the pursuer. Past fields of ripening corn and clumps of blooming rose bushes they rushed. Venter's Mad Bub to Death. In the beginning the leader had the ad vantage of a start of a dozen yards and the incentive of self-preservation, but, long before this journey to death was over, his opponent, being strong of limb and younger by more than a dozen Tears, had almost overcome the handicap and was right at the heels of his man. Then it was that he raised his smoking revolver and taking careful aim fired. This time his aim proved true. The man in front half turned and then with a groan fell face downward In the roadway. After that one awfnl groan the man made no sound. He lay in the middle of the road with his very life blood gushing irom a jagged hole in his neck. Directly he saw his brother fall, Cyprien halted. For a single instant he gazed at August's trembling body, and then with a muttered oath drew the empty shells from his pistol and carefully reloaded the weapon. He started down the road, but before he had gone a dozen yards he was confronted by a big, broad-shouldered man who wore no coat and whose face was very white. ' "I want you," said this man to Cyprien. "Oh, yon do. Well, take this instead," shouted the murderer, in badly broken Eng lish. As he spoke he shoved the muzzle of his pistol into thc man's face. Frarfnl btrurgle Vt 1th the Murderer. Before he could pull back the hammer some one from behtnd clutched hh wrist, and with a sudden jerk wrested the pistol from his grasp. Cyprien turned and closed with his unknown foe. It was a short, desperate fight, witnessed only by the dying brother and one frightened woman. For ten minutes the desperado struggled with his two opponents, but the odds proved too great for him and in the end he surrendered. Meantime men and boys working in adjoining fields had heard the shot and beheld the men struggling in the road. They hurried to the place, and a number of them assisted in binding Cy priotes arms. Others lifted August's body and carried it into William Bushman's house, which fronts on the road directly in front of the place where the wounded man fell. With muttered curses Cyprien allowed Constable Samuel Williamson, the man who had first attempted to arrest him, to lead him across lots to the main street of Midway, on which is located the office of 'Squire Henry Eaton. Close behind them came Henry Adair, who had assisted in the capture, and a crowd of 100 or more men and boys. It is a two-mile walk from the scene of the shooting to the 'Squire's office, and before the journey was half over two or three men in the crowd proposed a "lynching bee." lie JJarrow'y Escaped Lynching. Many of their companions approved of the suggestions and it began to look as thougii the dark-haired man with the gleam ing black eyes and powerful physique, who was responsible for all the trouble, would pay the penalty then and there, but the constable was plucky and Henry Adair was pacific and be tween them they managed to land their prisoner in the 'Sqnire's little office. The outer door was shut in the very faces of the indignant populace and securely fastened. Only six orseveD of Midway's leading citizen's were allowed to enter. 'Squire Eaton began the preliminary exam ination of the prisoner, but before anything had been done the crowd outside grew ugly and clamored for admission. At this juncture Justice Eaton slipped ont of the side door and in a few terse sentences told the crowd to disperse. He promised that Cyprien would not escape, and the crowd evidently trusted him, for it made no fur ther demonstration. ' . When Cyprien was asked to plead he drew himself up before the 'Squire and made this dramatic speech: "Judge, last night I went to bed and quickly fell asleep. I dreamed that I had killed my brother, and I awoke trembling and wet with sweat. This was about 1 o'clock, for I got up and looked at the clock. I was up for ten minutes, and then I laid down and closed my eyes. Again I dreamed that awful dream, and awoke as before. Directed to Murder by a Dream. "Three times, Your Honor, did the vision come to. me before morning, and I knew that it must be done. This morning I went to Mansfield and bought a box of fresh car tridges. In my packet was the gnn which I bad bought two months ago. I loaded it and then started for August's place. I walked through the yard and into the or chard beyond. A woman passed me, bnt I did not know her. If she had been August's wife I would have killed her. I found August among his vines. He is a tall old man with gray hairs in his head. When X was close to him I said, 'Why did you put water in my wine when we last played cards?' "He looked at me and muttered some thing, I do not remember what, and I didn t care. I pointed my gun at him and shouted: 'Die, you, die!' Then I pulled the trigger. I fired three shots, but my aim was bad. He turned and ran. I fol lowed close behind. We ran a great dis tance, and then his breath failed him and I gained on him. When we were in front of a little red house I caught up with him and sent a bullet into his head. He tell to the ground. Then two men came up. They fought with me and licked me. That is all, Judge. August put water In my wine, and he had to die." Hurried Oft to Washintrton Jnll. When Cyprien had finished hs remark able speech the justice remanded him to the Washington, Pa., jail to await the result of August's injuries. He was led away by Constable Williamson, and, al though the crowd looked dark and threaten ing, it made no sign and didn't attempt to interfere. The hearing once over, 'Squire Eaton and the crowd hurried to the Bushman House. Here they found Cyprien's victim. He was lying on the floor with his eyes closed and blood trickling down his,neck. Dr. J. M. Moon, who had been summoned,pronounced the wound fatal He probed for the bullet, but could not locate it. While the doctor was working over thc man a middle-aged woman staggered into the room. She wore a calico gown and car ried a basket of berrie. "It is my husband," she cried, and .then she fainted. A half hour later the wounded man opened his eyes, and when he saw his wife bending oyer him he whispered, "Is it yo ?" These were the only words he spoke, and from then on it seemed impos sible to rouse him. Mrs. Verner gave her version of the affair to a Dispatch reporter last night. She said: "I married Mr. Verner 20 years ago. I was a widow at the time, and owned the place iu which we now live. Augnst had two younger brothers, and they lived with us. Joseph was a good boy, but Cyprien always was troublesome. He knew that August and I had a little money and he wanted it. He was a coal miner, but only worked at odd times. Six years ago my husband went to France to vis'it his people. One? Tried to Murder Angoit's Wife. "During his absence Cyprien came to the house one night and dro7e me out at the point of a pistol. Then he burned all my clothing and smashed all the fnrniture. I had him arrested and he was sent to the workhouse for a year. When he came out he went away for a short time and I didn't see him until the 7th of last February. I was alone at the time. He knocked at the door and I opened it. At first I did not recognize him, as his hat was puilen down over nis lace. There was another man with him. He said that he wanted to buy our house, and attempted to enter the house. I recognized his voice and shut the door in his face. Then I turned the key in the lock and remember no more, as l tell on the floor in a lamt. '"That was the last I saw of him until to day. I was on my way to the village with a basket of berries when he passed me in the fields. Her Snnbonnet Saved Her IITe. "He did not know me, as my sunbonnet shaded my face and I've changed a great deal in the last two months on account of a spell of sickness. I did uot know that my man was shot until a woman told me down Midway. He was a good, quiet man, was August. I lived with him these 20 years, and, although he Is French and I English, and we have no children, there was never a cross word between us." According to the neighbors, August Verner and, his wife are worth between them 510,000. They own three'' houses in the neighborhood and several acres of land. August was originally a coal miner, but for the last ten years has devoted bis time to the cultivation of grapesand vegetables. He is about 50 years of age and of fine physique. Midway is a small village situated on the Panhandle Railroad, four miles below Mc Donald. The Verners live in a comfortable frame house built on the side of a steep hill about a mile from the village. ' RANKIN'S ROUGH RIOT. Its Origin Jealousy and Its Result Fire Feraons Badly Burt The Husband Bent on Suicide He Is Kescued and a Free Fight Follows. A small riot, preceded by an attempt at suicide and followed by the arrest of the man who interfered with the matrimonial bliss of Lewis Miller, startled Uankin borough yesterday. Lewis Miller keeps a boarding house, and for some time has been suspicious of the attentions paid his wife by Andrew Aufdem witz, a boarder. This morning he thought he had discovered convincing proof of their guilt, and, becoming discouraged, he went to the railroad and threw himself upon the track in front of an approaching train. John Black and George Fall, two workmen. were nearby and dragged him off the track J in time to save mi life. Miller related his woes to the two men, who accompanied him home. They found Anfdemwitz still in the house, and Mr. Black, who is Mrs. Miller's stepfather, turned in and gave the lover a thrashing. Mrs. Miller interfered and a general riot lollowed. Aufdemwitz, with three men against him, picked up a chair and rnshed at Mr. Black. Mrs. Miller sprang between them and received the blow full upon the head. Aufdemwitz then picked up an iron bar and dsalt Black a terrible blow, cutting his head open. In the free fight which fol lowed every one of the five combatants came off with serious. Injuries. Officers were telephoned for from Brad dock, and when they arrived they had some difficulty in placing Aufdemwitz under ar rest. He is now held under two charges of aggravated assault and battery, thc infor mation stating that Mr. Fall was also badly injured. KO DEDUCTION YET. Local Agents Not baee That the Wheeling and Lake Erie Has Cnt Iron Kates. An important meeting of the Pittsburg,' Youngstown and Cleveland freight commit tees was held at the Erie office on Wood street yesterday to consider a reduction in west bound iron rates. It is reported that the Wheeling and Lake Erie road had cut the rates 1 cent per 100 pounds out ot Wheeling to Chicago and other Western points. When the agents met yesterday not one of them was sure that the Wheeling and Lake Erie had made such a reduction, and the time was put in, as one of them said, with chin music. It was finally decided to adjourn until this morn ing to give time to find out what the Wheel ing road had done. If the reduction has been made there is nothing else for the local lines to do but to meet it. One agent stated that the Wheel ing and Lake Erie is a new road, and is trying to make capital for itself. The offi cials of the line take the ground that Wheeling is nearer the Western markets than Pittsburg, and therefore deserves a lower rate. This would be a dangerous principle for some ot the roads to adopt. It would suit the Pittsburg coal men on their product to the lakes. They pay as much for a short haul as the Hocking Val ley operators for a long one, and before this year the Ohio people were allowed a differ ential of 5 cents. Division Freight Agent Seymour, of the Pennsylvania road, presided. Among the Cleveland agents present were Sam P. Shane, of the Erie: George F. McKay, of the Lake Shore, and W. H. Smith.

Central Board Fear Creating- Jealousy and Dissension. THE NUMBERS OP THE PRIZE WINNERS The members of the Central Board of Education have this year.determined to re turn to the mysterious, unsatisfactory -and once abandoned system of designating by numbers the successful applicant to admis sion to the Pittsburg High School. They will do this instead of publishing the whole list, including the names of the children whose unceasing efforts fitted them for the promotion. An effort was made yesterday by The Dispatch to secure an alphabetical list of the little ones who had passed .the rigid High-School examination, but Secretary Eeisfor, of the Central Board, said he was without authority to give out the list, and the members of the Central Board who were seen said that at a recent meeting of that body it was positively decided that the list of names should not be published at least for a week or two after the nninteresting and confnsing numbers had been given out "Is there any possible way of getting at the names of the children who have passed the High School examination?? was asked William Holmes, Secretary of the Central Board of Education. No Karnes Given Ont This Tear. "I think not," Mr. Holmes answered. "We have decided not to give out the names this year." "Upon what ground do you bae that de cision?" "Upon the ground that the publication of the names created contusion and ugly feel ing among the various schools and was in no way beneficial to the school children or the school system. The school making the best showing under the system of pub lishing the names has always excited the jealousy and and anger or the other schols and to prevent such contentions and strife we determined to return to the old system of numbers. It was never the pur pose of the Board of Education to adopt the system of publishing the names of the successful candidates. That was an inno vation brought) about some 10 or 12 years ago by an enterprising reporter of The Dispatch. We allowed it to be con tinued until this year,' when we found it necessary to suppress the names in the interests' of harmony in our schools." "Do you not consider the publication of the names as a positive incentive to school children?" "Well, probably the making publio of the names does prompt the children to greater efforts, but in my judsment the publication ot the numbers answers the same purpose," Mr. Holmes replied. "The children can tell by the numbers they hold whether they have passed the examination. Their parents are also guided by the num bers, and then by the numbering arrange ment those who do not pass are not sub jected to the humiliation produced by the unfortunate notoriety." , Must Wear Their Idiurels in Private. "Is it not the studious children who pass the examination that deserve popular ap plause without regard to the ones who fail?" "Well, yes," the gentleman assented, "but it is contended by members of our board that the number system is the better and we have returned to it and huve de cided not to publish the names. However, I will see other members of the -board and if we agree to publish the names I will call you up at 5 o'clock. If we continue in our present determination you will not hear from me." t Mr. Holmes was not heard from at S o'clock or any other hour last night. Dr. W. H. McKelvey, who is alio a mem ber of the Central Board of Education, when seen last night was disposed to de fend the number system for the successful applicants for admission to the High School, lie is not sincerely in favor of the system, however, and in his conversation on the sub ject it developed that be was content with the number system only because it had pro tected the examination of the pupils which other .members of the board, he said, were endeavoring to abolish altogether. "We have had somewhat of a strnggle to keep the examinations from being abol ished," Dr. McKelyey said, "and we com promised on publishing only the numbers of the successful applicants for promo tion. Dr. Kearns, another member of the Central Board is bitterly opposed to ex aminations. He insists that the rivalry among the children provoked by the publi cation of the names is yearly driving hundreds of the school children to untimely graves and he seems determined to abolish examinations. He contends the school principals could pick out of'each school the children who are sufficiently advanced to enter the High School, but in my judg ment his ideas would never da How can a man tell what a horse can do until the horse is examined and tried? Yut can't tell bv the size of a child's head or feet whether that child is bright, and you can't tell whether a pupil is ripe for promotion until after that pupil has been subjected to a rigid examination." Cveritudv Uoesn't Kill CliiMren. "In your experience as a physician, did you ever treat a child for overstudy," was asked. "No sir. I did not," the doctor replied. "Dr. Kearns never did either, I don't care what he says: The trouble with our children is they don't study enough and it is absolutely necessary to offer some incentive to them. If not the ap plause they receive by the publication bf their " names "then we ' must ofler prizes and the prize system cannot in my judgment be made satisfactory. The publication of the names of the chil dren has beyond question created rivalry and jealousy, and we have this year de cided that the publication of the'numbers will be sufficient that will sustain and con tinue the examinations. The real trouble is that parents blame every ailment that overtakes their children on the schools, when in truth I am only sorry that we have not cots in the school bnildings where the pupils could sleep in the cool, fresh and clean rooms instead of the crowded and un comfortable rooms of their homes. The school houses are healthier than most of the homes in this town." Prof. Luckey, superintendent of city schools, is an earnest advocate of publish ing the names ot the successful pupils. He contends that such publication is but the Drooer incentive to the children and he ar gues that thc rivalry and jealousy so created does more good than harm to the publio shools. "The brightest pupil in school is always looked upon as the teacher's pet. That was my experience when I went to school. I must say with some regret that I was never my teacher's pet. It is the same way with our schools. The one that makes the greatest effort and promotes the greatest number of pupils is always charged with being the pet of the Central Board. Jealousy That Serves a Good Purpose. "Bat 1 take it that such Jealousy serves only a good purpose in urging the other schools to activity and earnestness. For 20 years the Grant school, of Vfaich Dr. Mc Kelyey is a director, has always been ahead in promoting its pupifc, and each year it is charged that the Grant school is in some way favored that the teachers dt that school are given the examination ques tions in advance, or that in ,some unknown way they are always en abled to appear to an advantage in the annual contests. This, I am satisfied, is all wrong, bnt to allay this discontent an effort was first made to abolish the examina- "7" tions and then I believe the whole thing was compromised by returning to the- num ber system. I am emphatically opposed to the number system, I am in favor of applanding those who merit applause, and in my judgment the publication of the names is all the encouragement the directors need. When I went to school we bad the system of trapping in our classes; that' sys tem encouraged study to keep us away from the tail end of our classes, just as the exam inations of the present day encourage study, to make the pupils appear in good position with their associates. ' "I think the names and the grades should be printed, and above and beyond all I con tend that the annual examinations shonld be continued. The examinations are all important. They satisfy the pupil of his own standing in his school, and if he is proficient they make him take the proper pride in his work. They encourage the laegard to greater efforts. "and they compel .the teachers and the pupils alike to take the proper interest in their work." Result of the Examinations. The High School examination was brought to an end last night, when Mis Ford and Miss Dougherty, who have had 'charge of the work, took out the report to the home of William Holmes, Chairman of the High School Committee. The report was sealed, and it is said that it will-not be opened un til the meeting of the Central Board of Edu cation on July 12. There were 556 pupils on examination, and they were very bright or the examina tion was made easy for them, as 523 passed, 9 are entitled to re-examination, 3 have in complete papers and only 21 failed entirely.

To-day the test will come of the new sys tem. The custom heretofore has been for the principals to get the percentage each scholar made in each study. Especially was this wanted in the case of those who are to be re-examined and those who failed. If the programme as laid down is adhered to the principal ami parents will wait for this information until the Central Board meets. That there will be a storm, and an ex ceedingly heavy one, can be put down as a certainty. It was freely pre dicted yesterday that the gentlemen who have issued these new orders would bow as gracefully as circumstances permit and yield to the demand for the percentages before noon to-day. As the case stands, however, the report containing percentages and averages is in a sealed package in the possession of Chair man Holmes, of the High School Commit tee.

Following this there was a parade over the principal streets of the Southside in which all the visitors took part, preceded by all the societies on the south side of the river. Magistrate Snccop acted as ehief marshal. The route of march was up Sarah street to South Twenty-sixth, thence to Carson and along Carson to Sonth Thir teenth street, where the hall was again reached. The remainder of the evening was spent at the hall witnessing a performance by some of the younger members of the society. While the parade was in progress red fire was burned all along the line and many of the houses were decorated with the national colors. Abont 800 people participated in the parade and the men were repeatedly cheered. A picnic will be held to-day. TWO CASES SENT TO C0UET. Members of the Builders Exchange llust Answer the Charge of Conspiracy. The hearings in the cases for conspiracy brought against the members of the Builders' Exchange were conclnded before Alderman Means last night In two of the cases the defendants were held for conrt in $1,000 bail each. In the third all the testimony was taken, but a decision re served until next Tuesday. The informa tions sent to court are those made by Ells worth W. Houston and Thomas Buchanan. Houston sued H. B. Barnes, President of the Exchange, D. F. McAfee, Secretary, D. E. Sheridan and Henry M. Kerr. Buchanan sued President Barnes, William P. Vann, John Carr and L. T. Yoder. The third case, in which a decision is reserved, is brought by Isaac Kegister against Barnes, E. A. Knox, Samuel Francis, T. J. Hamil ton and J. N. Baskett In this' case last night, Samuel Sample and Henry Diffenbacker testified to Kegister having been refused material for building the house of Fred Gaub, on Auburn street J. W. Beckett testified to bricks having been delivered at the building and then hauled away again. In the case of Mr. Buchanan he testified that the Exchange had refused him material because he had obtained five bricklayers from them by offering better wage. George Speed, Ed. Alfred and M. Crapp, bricklay ers, testified to losing time on account ot the refusal of material for Buchanan. Attor neys Porter and Fitzsimmons, for the prose cution, endeavored to learn from all the wit nesses the name of the solicitor or walking delezate of the Exchange. None, however, knew him.
