searched a pocket billy and a large navy re
volver were taken from him.
Soon after this a conple of policemen ar
rived upon the fcene, and took the man to
the station house. Considerable excite
ment prevailed, and there were freqnent
cries of "Lynch him." The prisoner shortly
after his arrest was interviewed by Burgess
McGluckie, and he seemed badly fripht
ened. He said his name was James Mc
2f eelev, and he was formerlv an East Eud
policeman. It is said he exhibited a letter
from the Carnegie Steel Company, which
invited him to come up there and go to
work. He answered the letter in person,
but learning there was trouble at that place
he refused to accent a position. Later Me-

Immediately "after the arrest several of
the more excitable workmen in the crowd
tried to force their way in the police station,
but were pulled back bv others. Here a
seneral fight ensued, which was stopped by
Chief of Police Gessner, and the men dis
persed. Threaten to Stop Trains.
It is reported on good authority that a
committee representing the workmen vis
ited the officials of the Pittsburg, JIcKees
port and Youghioeheny Railroad and tried
to secure their promise that no trains bear
ing men to take their places would be
stopped in the limits of the yard, but it
is alleged that the officials refused to make
any such promise, giving as their reason
that the city train station of that company
was located directly in the yard of- the Car
negie Steel 'Works and all trainB would be
required to stop at regular stations.
The refusal of the railroad company to
comply with the wishes ot the men was re
ceived with the greatest possible excite
ment and many threats were made. It has
since been learned that if the Pittsburg,
McKeesport and Youghiogbeny Hailroad
Company tries to repeat their tactics of
1689 and carry non-union men into the yard
of the works that the workman will en
deavor to prevent the trains irom running.
One method alrea'&r broached is the blow
ing np of the bridge which spans the river
between Homestead and Port Braddock.
Last night there was to have been a joint
meeting of the eight lodges of the Amal
gamated Association in Homestead. The
object of the meeting was to instruct the
men to work until 6 o'clock to-morrow
morning, as the usual custom, and not stop
at 12 o'clock to-night at the expiration of
the scale, but owing to the wholesale dis
charges yesterday the meeting was called off
A CONCLUSION REACHED.
The Amalgamated Association Adjourns
and Is Highly Pleased.
The seventeenth annual convention of the
Amalgamated Association of Irot and
Steel Workers, is now a matter of ttie past.
The delegates assembled in Forbes street,
Turner Hall, at 10 o'clock yesterday, and
the morning session and almpst all of the
evening session u as devoted to hearing the
reports of the President and Vice President
and the Secretary and Treasurer and Trus
tees. The Conference Committee reported
the results of their discussion with the iron
and steel sheet manufacturers. Thev re
ported that no conclusion had been
reached.
A resolution was adopted applauding ex
President "Wei he for his faithful services
in behalf of the organization, a number or
Eongs were sung, short speeches were made
and the convention adjourned.
A conference meeting of the Amalgam
ated Association of Iron and Steel 'Workers
and the Association of Iron and Sheet Steel
Manufacturers was held last night at the
office of the Manufacturers' Association,
wheu an amicable settlement Mas made anil
the scale for sheet and tin and black plate
mills was signed.
The basis of settlement was one of mu
tual satisfaction to both sides. The wages
of sheet and tin mill workmen remain
practically what they were last year. In
fact, the changes consisted chiefly in
methods of working in order to conform to
changed condition1; resulting from the intro
duction of modern improvements.
In arriving at this adjustment mutual
concessions were necessary, which were dis
eased throughout in a spirit of fairness by
both sides.
A vote of thanks was then tendered by
the Amalgamated Association to their Con
ierence Committee that aided in the adjust
ment of the scale.
WILL PROBABLY SIGN.
A Pleasant Conference at Which the Best
Ielins Prevailed.
Beavee Falls, June 20. Special
This evening the Shop Committee of the
Amalgamated Association presented the
new scale of the rod mills of Carnegie,
Phipps & Co., situated at this place, to the
Superintendent, Patrick Dillon. Sir. Dil
lon had just arrived from Pittsburg. The
conference, which was not lengthy, was
pleasant and the best of feeling prevailed.
Mr. Dillon told the committee that he
would give them an answer by July 1 cr
2, and from certain hints thrown out it is
almost certain that the scale will be signed
by the firm.
The scale presented this afternoon is
identically the same as last year with the ex
ception that the association has made a re
duction on the wages of the rollers of 15
cents per ton. The men are feeling hopeful
and anticipate no shut-down further than a
brief one tor necessary repairs and cleaning
up. They expect to resume operations July
9. The roller objects to the reduction, but
bis objections will have no weight The roll
er has been earning from 5G9 to 570 per day,
and it Is alleged the wages he pavs out lor
help will not average him ?20 per day.
TO BE SHOT DOWN.
The Co rn Iron and Steel Wcrks to Suspend
for Repairs.
MAssiLLON, O., June 29. Special.
The new scale of the Amalgamated Associa
tion has been filed in the office of the Corn
Iron and Steel "Works by the resident rrfena
bers, but on ing to the absence of the sur
viving member of the company, who accom
panied the remains of his father, Joseph
Corns, to Buffalo, it has not yet been acted
upon.
In any event the mill will shut down for
several weeks to make the necessary annual
repairs. The general impression is that the
action of the Pittsburg manufacturers will
influence the settlement of the qnestion bv
he local people. The mill employs 175
men.
F1EE ON DIAMOND STREET.
A Lithograph Establishment Badly Dam
need at aiiinlsht.
Shortly before 12 o'clock last night a fire
broke ont in the lithographing establish
ment of Mackenzie, Davis & Co., at G4
Diamond street, and did damage to the ex
tent of 52,000, if not more. How the fire
started is a mystery. The rear of the build
ing is only one-story and was at one time
btaley s poolroom.
Two alarms were sent in, but tbe fire was
practically extinguished before the second
alarm engines arrived. The loss will fall
heaviest on Davis & Co., as their litho
graph plates, each being valued at from
560 to 5300. are thought to be mined. If
such is the case the loss will probably be
greater.

EVERT SPY IS IN DAKGEE OP ARREST
P.obert McClcre, agent and general man
ager of the Law and Order Society, spent
most of yesterday dodging Constable John
Sweeney oi Alderman JTcKenna's office.
Sweeney, with a summons in debt issued at
tbe instance of Thomas Flinn, was looking
for the Lar and Order Chief. Flinn was
formerly employed by McClure .as a de
tective, and he alleges that be has not been
paid his wages and that McClure still owes
him 5165. He also alleges thr.t JlcClure
frequently paid him but 52 50 per week;
Just belore lur. McClure left for his home
last night Constable Sweeney found him at
the Law and Order Society's office on Fifth
avenue. The summons in debt was served
upon him and he was notified to appear be
fore Alderman TJcKenna on Wednesday,
July 5.
"When served with the summons Mr. Mc
Clure denied that he owed Flinn any wages.
He agreed, however, to appear for the hear
ing at the time fixed, and said that he would
prove that he had paid his former spy all
he had agreed to pay him.
TVoalel Break TJp the Family.
Thomas FliDn, at whose instance the
summons in debt was issued against Mc
Clure, said last night that he left his home
early yesterday morning to hunt work.
"When I returned home to-night I found
my wife much distressed. Site was weep
ing bitterly and she seemed to have been
crying all day. I had great difficulty in
inducing her to explain to me her trouble,
but she finally told me that early this morn
ing McClure had called to see me. She ex
plained to him that I had gone away early
in the morning. She also told him
truthfully that she did not know where I
had gone. McClure then told her that I had
certainly deserted her, and that I had only
entered suit against him as a bluff) He told
my wife he did not owe me a cent. He
claimed to her he had paid me regularly
whatever was coming to me, and that I had
spent the money in keeping another
woman. Any of these stories was bad
enough to distress my wife, but when Mc
Clure told her that I had certainly deserted
her, she seemed to lose confidence in me
altogether, and when I returned she seemed
actually beside herself with grief.
rilcn Says JlcCIure Was Ills Hoodoo.
"I have had a good deal of hard luck
recently, and Bob McClure was responsible
for most of it," Flinn went on, "but the
old fellow seemed to outdo himself when he
got to talking with my wife to-day. "What
I said about him nnd his society'in Alder
man McKcnna's office last night was all
true, and he knows it, bnt I hardly know
what to say about him now that he has en
deavored to separate myself and my wife.
He left word for me to call and see him to
morrow morning, but I will not go to-his
office. All I want from either McClure or
his society is the wages due me. If I can
collect that by law I am satisfied to go to
work at some legitimate occupation, where
I can look after my wife and where I can
make money enough to go to Pottstown and
find my lost boy."
When MoCIure was seen yesterday by a
Dispatch reporter he was not disposed to
discuss the effort of Flinu to collect the
wages due him. "I have nothing to say on
that subject for publication," Mr. McClure
began. "Flinn is only making a bluff. He
is anxious to create the impression that the
Law and Order Society owes him just to
create public sympathy. I discharged that
man after he got into trouble with that
woman, and I will not have anything far
ther to do with him. I will of course
answer this summons in debt, but I will
prove that I do not owe him anything."
Refused to Go Into Details.
"Have you books to show the amount of
money you paid Flinn while he was em
ployed by vou?" was asked.
"Certainly I have. Our books will show
just exactly the number of days he worked
and the exact amount of cash paid him."
"Flinn alleges you agreed to pay him $15
a week and all necessary expenses. Is that
true?"
"I will explain that to Alderman Mc
Kcnna next week," Mr. McClure replied.
It was asserted yesterday that McClure
has not yet paid the costs in the suit for
perjury brought against him by J. M.
Sharpe, the Southside newsdealer. Mc
Clure was ordered by the court to pay the
costs in that case, and he says as far as he is
personally concerned he would rather go to
jail than pav such costs. He alleges, how
ever, that the officials of the Law and Order
organization are opposed to his making a
martyr of himself, but as yet they have
not gone to the length of supply
ing him with the money necessary
to satisfy the Court House records. Mc
Clure refused yesterday to talk of the court
costs in his perjury case. He said that was
his own business and he did not think the
public had any concern in it. When it was
explained to him that the tax-payers of the
county were interested in having all court
costs paid, aud that they expected all
alleged reformers just the same as all
criminals to satisfy the records and dockets,
he insisted that he did not care anything
about that, and that the costs charged np
against him would be paid at the proper
time.
Spli-s Will Be Arrested EverjrTime.
McClure has recently been devoting much
of his own and the attention of his spies to
the Italians who sell ice cream on Sunday.
He has made several informations against
those people before Alderman Rohe. This
move, it is alleged, has been prompted to
secure much needed money for the-financially
distressed society.
The Anti-Law and Order Society has been
industriously at work during the past few
week and it is asserted by one of the
officers ot the new organization that every
time the McClure crowd makes a move for
Sunday violation they will enter a counter
charge against 'the L. &. O. detectives,
charging them with working on Sunday. In
all the ice cream cases in which informa
tions have been made it is expected that
McClure's men will testify that they bought
the ice cream on Sunday, and the new so
ciety will arrest all such on the charge that
it is as much of a crime to buy the cream on
Sunday as to sell it on that day.
Thomas Flinn said last night jtiat he had
received much encouragement from responsi
ble people yesterday, and that he was prom
ised all the help he might need in forcing
Mr. McClure and the Law and Order people
to pay him the wages due him.
Predicts Democratic Defeat.
Major James Henry, of Iowa, was at the
depot last evening going East. He is a
prominent Democratic politician imd a
great admirer of Boieg. He says this fail

NOT UP TO THE AVERAGE.
Pittsburg Coal Operator Convinced the
Tonnage Will Be Short This Tear
Boats Scarce, and Prices Cat by the Ohio
Fellows
The smash up of the lake coal shippers'
association will not affect the coal business
in Pittsburg this year. It is too late to do
any harm, as most of the contracts are
made. The lake shippers are nearly all lo
cated in Cleveland and Toledo. TheFairport
Dock Company, with the Jumbo mines and
the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
Company, were the only Pittsburg oper
ators who were members. The other oper
ators have agents along the lakes to attend
to their business. The question now ii,
"Will the pool be reformed next year? If
the present war is carried into the coming
season it will greatly injure the trade.
A local operator in discussing the situa
tion yesterday said: "The Ohio fellows are
responsible lor the breali up of the associa
tion. Last year they got rebates from the
Buckeye road si and in this way cut the
price, and this season they have followed a
new plan, but the reduction was made as
nsnat I sometimes think it would have
been better for us to have given them the
differential of 5 cents in freight rates. In
former years they have represented their
coal to the railroads as from Pittsburg, and
they obtained our prices. This year the
lines were posted, and they concluded that
as they received Ohio coal they might as
well pay Ohio rates. This is how they got
the bulk of the contracts in the Northwest.
"The coal business ont of Pittsburg is very
dull. The B. & O. is not shipping any
thing to the lakes. Most of their mines on
the main line is shut down. The shipments
of the Pennsylvania is larger than at this
time last season. This much is ceitain, the
Pittsbnrg tonnage jHU not be up to the
average lor this yeah The Lake Erie (aIso
is not up to its standard."" Boats are scarce
on the lakes, and this has interfered with
shipments. Toward the close of tbe sesjson,
when there is a scramble for coal rdgarjless
of price, we won't be in the swim, tor then
can will be few and far between."
A PROPOSITION MADE,
Bnt It Is Too Unsatisfactory The Pleasant
Volley People Hill Not Consider It
Secretary Graham Sys There Will Be
No Consolidation.
Secretary "W. H. Graham, of the Pleas
ant Valley road, admitted yesterday that a,
proposition to consolidate had been made
by some of the officials of the P. A. & M.
road, but it was so indefinite and unsatis
factory that his company would not con
sider it unless the companies come to better
terms. He added that the consolidation
would,, never take place. As the matter
stands now, it is only a revival of the talk
ot a year ago, which was puolished in The
Dispatch at the 'time. The proposition
was not to buy out, but to combine. The
Pleasant Valley people do not consider it
serious enongh to present to the board.
Mr. Graham said he was tired of correct
ing these rumors. They worry the stock
holders who insist that the board must be
doing something under cover and is keep
ing it from them. A number of the share
holders called on Mr. Graham yesterday,
and he assured them that no deal was under
way.
A long story was published' yesterday
afternoon to the effect that the officials of
both companies had met last Saturday, and
that the consolidation papers had been
drawn up, but have not been signed. Mr.
Graham denied that any such meeting had
been held, and he laughed at the story that
the road is to be extended to Etna and
Sharpsburg. He concluded by saying there
wasn't a grain of truth in the story from
beginning to end.
8EMI-ANHTJAL INSPECTION.
Examiner Tonne Says Local Banks Are in
Excellent Condition.
Colonel Hugh Young, of "Wellsboro, the
bank examiner of this district, arrived in
the city yesterday to begin his semi-annual
inspection of the local financial insti
tions. He is a twin brother of ex-Governor
Young, ot Ohio, who'BUcceeded Hayes when
he was elected President. The two men
look so much alike that old friends fre
quently have difficulty in distinguishing
them. The Colonel taid he had just re
ceived a letter from a lady he knew very
well, who stated that she bad bowed to him
in the rotunda of the capltol at Columbus,
but he had not returned it "That was my
brother," remarked Mr. Young, "for I
haven't been in Columbus lately."
"The banks in this city," he said, "are in
excellent condition. They are overflowing
with money. This is good tor the people
who
can borrow at a low rate ot interest,
bnt the bankers don't like it. They are
better pleased when there is a demand
lor money and it is scarce. The banks show
that people are careful with their savings
at the present and are not anxious to invest.
Business is dnll, but I look for better
things. A slight advance in pig iron would
make a big difference in Pittsburg. I no
ticed that the market had improved a little
last month, and I hope it will keep up."

SLEEPERS WAY OFF.
Pitlshurgers Who Want Pnllmans
Generally Left in the Lurch.
TAIL END OP ALL THROUGH TRAINS
lower Berth Is One of Those Things
Hardly Obtainable.
OFFICIALS SURPBISJSD AT TIIE KICKS
Complaints are constantly being made by
travelers of tbe scarcity of sleeping car ac
commodations in Pittsburg. It applies to'
all the roads, bnt more especially on the
Pennsylvania to Philadelphia and New
York. Thebnlkoftbe travel out of Pitts
burg is to these Eastern points. An effort
was made yesterday to find out who is re
sponsible, the railroads or the Pullman
monopoly. Since Pullman succeeded in
freezing out all competition his company
has occupied a very independent position,
and the poor public must humbly bend the
knee to the moguls. Indeed, the railroads
haven't much to say, and the query is, how
long will the present state of affairs con
tinue? The claim is freely made that Pittsburg
is being discriminated against. The kicks
from travelers are strong and plentiful,
but without avail. Commercial men have
some hard experiences, and if one stands
around the hotel counters at any time dur
ing the. day numerous complaints about
berths can be heard. In other cities some
attention is paid to telephone messages for
the reservation of berths. Here they are
ignored, and busy people must send to the
office') and show their tickets before they
are accommodated.
The lamest kind of excuses are given to
explain the conduct of the Pullman agents.
The most "pat" is that people can't be de
pended upon to take berths after thy
'order them, and it would bs depriving
others who want the accommodations to
hold them. Occasionally it happens that
a passenger fails to take the berth, but the
instances are not frequent.
A Lower Berth Not Obtainable.
It is impossible to get a lower berth to
New York unless it is ordered a day or two
ahead, and nobody wants an upper. The
upper berth, by the way, is the foot of the
evil. The Pullman agents have been try
ing for years to convince travelers that an
upper is as good as a lower, but it is notice
able that they never get into a top one
themselves, unless they can't help it. They,
are hard to reach, the air is foul and hot in
winter, and during warm weather they are
particularly stuffy and disagreeable. The
same rates are charged for both. The vic
tim in an upper looks down on the fellow
in a lower aud sees him enjoying privileges
that he is denied. Naturally he is mad,
and feels that he has been robbed.
There is no reason why a difference in
price shouid not be made. An upper
berth is not worth as much as a lower, and
this is conceded by everybody. A Penn
sylvania passenger man suggested yesterday
that at least 50 cents per night .or mrte
shonld be knocked off the sleeping car
rates on npper berths. If this were done,
the company would have no trouble to fill
them, and this constant jangling about
lower berths would cease. In some "West
ern States the company is compelled by
law to close the upper berths when not in
use. They are left down to lorce passen
gers to buy a section. An effort will proba
bly be made to have such a law passed by
the next legislature in Pennsylvania. It
will be hailed with delight by those who
spend many of their nights on sleeping cars.
Anything Good Enongh for Plttabarsers.
But in Pittsburg people are glad enough
to get anything, uppers or-lowers. Drum
mers state that frequently they can't get
berths on the 7:15 and "8:10 trains East on
the Pennsylvania road. They are com
pelled often to leave at 4:30 in the after
noon, sit up in the coaches, or take chances
on the Keystone express at 1:20 in the morn
ing, which, as a rule, is always crowded.
KecenUy Max Moorhead was going to
"Washington, and looking at the sleeper he
was in, said: "Poor Pittsburg, we are al
ways getting the worst of it. The poorest
Pullman' cars on the road are run out of
this town, while the new ones are sent to
other places." The truth is" that some of
them look as if they had been in use before
the deluge. They are old-fashioned and
badly worn, but lull rates are charged any
how. r Around the railroad offices some informa
tion about sleeping cars was obtained. Pas
senger men say that every now aud then the
railroads jump on the Pullman Company
with the force of pile drivers, and lor a
time afterward things are better. The Bal
timore and Ohio runs one sleeper to Chicago
and Cincinnati every night and two to
Washington. This number is all that is
needed, and is sufficient to accommodate
its travelers, except uhen a baseball
club or a theatrical company
gobbles all the lower berths, and
'leaves the uppers Tor the drummers. Then
tne air is blue, but there is no remedy. Tbe
greatest trouble is experienced in getting
sleepers for special parties. The cars are
ordered in plenty ot time, they are duly
promised, and then at the last moment they
arrive with two or three short. This shows
that either the companv hasn't enough cars
to supply the demand, or they go to other
places. The latter opinion is "usually the
one held by the disappointed passenger.
agents.
A Very Much Surprised Official.
Mr. Sansom has charge of the sleeping
car arrangements for the Pennsylvania road.
He was surprised that any kicks of a scar
city bad been made recently. He admitted
that up until June 12, complaints had been
made of a shortage on the night trains to
New York, but an extra car had been put on
the Eastern express and the fast line, and
since then evervthing has been serene. - In
addition he said a car is held in the yards
ready to put on at n moment's notice to
provide for an overflow. Mr. Sansom
then went over the sleeping car accommo
dations offered nightly by the Pennsylvania
rood. First two sleepers, one to Philadel
phia and New York each, are run on the
4:30 train in the afternoon. All the space
is for sale here. This express is a very un
desirable train, and if the cars were held
until evening the public would be much
better pleased. The Eastern express carries
one car to New York and one to Philadel
phia that are put on here. The other three
sleepers come from the "West, and everv
afternoon a report of the space for sale in
these cars is received here at 4:30. The
fast line has two sleepers out of Pittsburg for
the East, one from Cleveland, only
one section of which is for sale in that city,
a sleeper for Washington and one.from Chi
cago. An extra sleeper was also put on a
short time ago. The reports for the West
ern connections of the fast line are received
at 5:50 in the afternoon. In general from
seven to eight sleepers are reserved for
Pittsburg passengers on the Pennsylvania
road every afternoon and night, aud, of
course, whatever space is vacant on the
other cars is for sale.

A W2DDIHG BANQUET;
Adjatant Farver and His Bride Honored by
Sonthside Salvationists.
The Redding banquet given by the Salva
tion Army last evening in honor of Adju
tant and Mrs. Farver at the barracks on the
Southside was fairly well attended. The
Adjutant and his bride had just returned
from Chicago, and there was a general turn
ing ont to do them honor. A small fee was
charged and a neat sum netted, which will
go into the general fund.
Adjutant Farvar, in speaking of his pro
posed work, said: "While I will have my
headquarters here, I will spend most of my
time in traveling and visiting different
districts ot my western Pennsylvania di
vision. There are now active working corps
at McKeesport, Homestead, New Castle,
Titnsville, Warren, Corry and Union City,
each of which is commanded by a captain
and a lieutenant. I hold my first meeting
in this district at Homestead the last ot the
week, and then go on a 40 days tonr
through this State and "Western New
York. .
"I am much encouraged by our work here
and have every reason to believe we will
rapidly gain in strength. The chief obsta
cle met so far is in lack of funds and an ap
parent prejudice on the part ot many peo
ple. I think this latter comes from a mis
conception of our work and the end sought.
We are gaining in strength rapidly now
throughout the country, and are receiving
support from many influential men, but
more particularly is this so from ministers
of the other denominations. As soon as
our position is better understood I antici
pate much greater success."
A BOY WI5S flEST H0N0BS,
"Wilson Connell, of the Bellefleld School,
Slakes an Average ot 97.4.
The publication of the names of the High
School candidates yesterday relieved tbe
pressure at the Central Board rooms to a
certain extent, but there is still some dis
satisfaction abont the averages being with
held. A number of principals demanded
them yesterday, but the action of the com
mittee in fixing July 8 as the date on which
they will be made public was a bar to the
demands being granted.
However, the assertion that the first
honor had probably been carried off by Miss
Maggie Shade, of the Bedford school, with
an average of 9G.3 per cent, had tbe effect
of opening tbe door a little way. It was
announced yesterday that the first place
had been won by "Wilson Connell, of the
Bellefield school, Oakland sub-district.
His average was 97.4 per cent. This is
official and stands. The percentage made
97.4 is extremely high, probably the best
that has been "made, for ten years. It will
be found, when the" averages finally get. to
the people, that there are more candidates
with 90 per cent or better than ever before
known at a High School examination.
Decorating a Station Itoose.
Chief Brown has begun preparations for
.decorating the new Fourteenth ward police
