jLgttrtfi'l BUKMSaH pt1'.'-?Yy !rT? IP T! ISp? v -X THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH. WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1R92. ft turned into a minority of 300, The issue turned on the eight-hour question. There are some curious anomalies. The Unionist vote at Gateshead has increased 2,000. Tlie Gladstonian vote at "Westham has increased 1,000. The balance is a long w ay in favor of the grand old man. He was jubilant to-dajr. He says that the flowing tide will turn into a roaring torrent. The Pall Mall Gaz-tte thinks to-niht that the fate of the arious labor candidates in yesterday's elections suggests two remarks. In the first place the labor programme has clearly made its mark upon the constituen cies. Eight hours in particular scores with the return ot ilr. Keir Hareie in "Westham, the disaster to 3Ir. Broadhurst in West Nottingham, wheie it turned a majority of S4fl into a minority of 301 and the 2,749 votes cast for Mr. Tillet in West Bradford. Labor and LlberaliKin Mast Unite. B-t equally clear in the second place is the old moral often urged that labor in al liance with Liberalism win', while labor alone or in opposition to Liberalism fails. Thus Mr. Tillet fails to get a seat against Mr. Illiugworth in Bradford, and Mr. Champion is simply nowhere in Aberden, vhile Mr. Keir Hardie, who has had the support of the Liberals in South Westham, comes in with a big majority. The same newspaper enumerates the steps by which Mr. Gladstone is advancing from the complete non possuinus attitude to one of cautious assent. First came the refusal to receive the deputation, then the demand for information, then the consent to receive the deputation, then the triumphal Socratic refutation of the deputation's points. Sow comes the explanation of the Socratic atti tude and it is highly interesting: "That is the spirit in which I should always wish to spcat, to make my conversations or my speeches to laboring men somewhat less lavorable than my own views are, rather than putting on an appearance favorable to them winch 1 might not be able always to maintain." To confound the logic of a working class deputation is of course a comparatively pimple t.T-k for the grand old dialectician, and it nas done to immense satisfaction. Hut it is well to find that Mr. Gladstone recognizes the argument to be based upon a genuine grievance and is not merely con tent to discover its logical flaws for practi :al purposes. Yesterday's speech defines the probable course of action on this sub ject in the new Parliament; local option, that is to say, will become as much the guiding principle in labor matters as in temperance. 1UII Tnto Early and Orten. A sporting journalist draws attention to an unprecedented electioneering feat which is to be performed on Thursday by George Fr e, the biggest bookmaker in England. This gentleman is to drive from his resi dence at Beulahill, vote at Wimbledon at 8 o'clock, then be oh! to London Bridge and on to Tottenham, where he possesses property. After voting there he returns to Ealing, where he is also entitled to a vote and reaching Paddington in time to catch the Flying Dutchman, will reach Porlock, West Somersrtshire, in time to record the vote he possesses there. Xeedles to say these votes are Tory, but though they were Liberal the instance af fords proof of the desirability of altering the law so that a single voter can onlv cast one vote at a parliamentary election. W03IEX TRY ELECTIONEERING. Sirs. Cornwallis West rieatls for Her Htu Lantl, bnt Is Not Listened to by the Crowd The Son or tho Great Liberator Supports ill? Liberal Candidate. Loxnox, July S. Daniel O'Connell, son of the great Irish liberator, is strongly sup porting the candidature of the Bt. Hon. James Lowther, Conservative, in the Isle of Thanet, division of Kent Upon being asked why he, an Irishman and a Catholic, did not tollow in the footsteps of his father, Mr. O'Connell replied: "It is as an Irish Catholic that I vote for a Conservative. I have seen during the past six years the country wisely governed. Mr. Gladstone's homp rule scheme would be most disastrous to Ireland." Mrs. Cornwallis West, wife of Colonel Cornwallis West.the Liberal Unionist candi date in the State of Clyde, division of Den bigshire, Wales, is canvassing the district :n behalf of her husband. To-day she tried to quell a row among the electors, whp refused to hear the Colonel speak. Amid cries of "Don't shout her down," she ob tained a momentary hearing, but the dis order revived, and she became very angry. She said: ''I am an Irish woman, but it was not until I came to Wales that I found men capable of reiusing to hear a woman who was pleading a cause." She was stopped by a storm of yells and hisses. Then, plnckily leaing the plat iorm, she forced her way through the mob to the platform from which the opposition orator was addressing a crowd and tried to argue him into silence. He shook his fists in her face and repelled all her attempts to argue with him. There was the greatest Fort of excitement in the crowd, and finally a melee occurred around Mrs. Cornwallis West that forced her to return to the Un ionist platform. The meeting broke up in a general scrimmage. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, in a speech at Walsall, said: "Mr. Gladstone never pro posed measures for the benefit of the work inginen until he required their votes. He has suggested home rule for Ireland on the colonial model: but colonies are empowered to make tariff, and unless Ireland is allowed to do the same this solution of the problem will not be accepted as final, and Mr. Gladstone will be in a dilemma." The Standard says: "The Liberal gains do not jusiily any complacency on the part of the candid Home Rulers. Unless they do much better during the remainder of the week they will still be in the minority. On the other hand, the details of the elections are full of encouragement to the Unionists. Xowhere lias there been a humiliating re verse. Above all the survival of the Dis sident Liberals in undiminished strength must be mortifying to the politicians who treated them as doomed to extinction." PATCHIH G UP A PEACE. rarnellltes and the Antis Unwilling to Talk Cntil After the Elections. Dublin, July 5. The Irish-American Commission which arrived here a few days ago for the purpose of trying to effect a peaceful settlement of the difierences exist ing between the warring Irish factions, wrote to Justin McCarthy, proposing an interview between him and John Redmond with a iew to negotiations looking to the establishment ot peace. Mr. McCarthy replied to the Commission to-day that he must consult with the mem bers of his party on the subject. It is known that the anti-Parnellites are utterly opposed to considering the question until alter the elections are over and that the l'arnellites are also unwilling to discuss the matter at present. The Commission say they do not despair of smoothing matters after the elections have taken place. O'Brien's Condition Alarmlnc. Couk, July 5.

FELL OIAJMBEL Charles Slianahan Strikes John McGuire and His Yictim Is Killed. END OF A DBUNKEN BRAWL The Murderer Too Intoxicated Know What He Had Done. to A WHOLE FAMIL YHELD FOR COURT To Answer to the Charge- of Murdering Frank Helmstetter. THE DEFENDANTS DENT THEIR GUILT Charles Shanahan to-day occupies a cell in the county jail, where he broods over the murder of John McGuire, committed by his hands at Walker's Mills yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock. The Coroner's jury in the case of Frank Helmstetter was just rendering a verdict which sent four men and three .women to jail, charged with taking human life, when Shanahan struck the blow, which made him a murderer. Walker's Mills in a mining town, five miles below Mansfield, on the Panhandle Railroad. Fourth of Juh- was spent in drinking and rioting, and the spirit, instead of dying, was renewed yesterday. Shana han, McGuire, and numerous other miners gathered at the house of a man named Skelly. Had Plontv to Drink. Skelly's beer, whisky and some peculiar liquid of an izt-ixicatlng nature, which finds its origin in that region, flowed like water. All day long the men drank. From time to time little altercations would arise between some members of the circle, which for a minute or two would sever so cial ties, but peace was alnays restored. So matters ran along until the day was drawing toward a close. Then some misunderstanding arose between Shanahan and McGuire. For quite a time they ar gued on the inside of the Skelly home. They warmed to their job, and the house got too small for them. McGuire went out side and Shanahan followed him where the broken thread of the argument was taken up. Soon blows took the place of words. They commenced fighting just outside the door. Shanahan was a hard hitter, and Mc Guire was not able to receive his blows. To save himself, he retreated backward, keeping up the aggressive. How 31cGnlro Was Killed. Some feet from the door stands the rain barrel. Unconsciously toward this Mc Guire backed. He was just within a foot or two of the barrel, when Shanahan gained a step on him and dealt him an awful blow under the chin. McGuire's hands were thrown up, and with a moan he fell back, his head and back striking the barrel. Thirty minutes later he was dead. Shanahan was so drunk he did not realize what he had done. Other members of the party were still able to think, and one went tor a doctor and another for the constable. Tne doctor was unable to do anything for the man and until the autopsy is' held just what caused his death will not be known. Too Drunk to Get Away. Shanahan was promptly arrested by the constable, and last night at 10 o'clock he was brought to the county jail. He was still very drunk and could" tell nothing of his crime. As Warden McAleese locked him up the man said: "What am I here for? I only knocked McGnire's head against the rain barrel. I did not hurt him." McGuire is 45 years of age and unmar ried. He was a man who had no friends, and the people at Walker's Mills refused to take charge of his body, and the remains were sent to a Mansfield undertaker. There they will remain until the Coroner views them to-day and holds his inquest. A WHOLE FAMILY HELD. Four Men and Three Women Will fiave to Answer for the Murder of Frank Helmstetter The Defendants Deny All Connection With the Anir. Joseph Zappe, Angelo Zappe, Joseph Mulinaro, William Reardon, Hannah Rear don, Mrs. Joseph Zappe and Mrs. Joseph Mulinaro are in jail, charged with the mur der of Frank Helmstetter, who was stabbed Monday evening at his home, at Matilda and Yew streets. Coroner McDowell held the inquest in the case yesterday afternoon. The principal witness was Mrs. Ida Helmstetter, wife of the murdered man. Her testimony was an exact repetition of her interview exclusive ly given in The DisrATCH yesterday morning. On her testimony, which was given in a very straightforward manner, were the seven persons held. Henry Plohr, who was playing with Helmstetter when the murder occurred, told a similar story and testified to having been hit with a brick before the fight started. Plohr is a cripple and uses a crutch, and he said Mrs. Reardon took his crutch from him in the fight. Wm. Oxley was another man who saw the fight and it was he who carried Helm stetter into the house and removed his bloody clothing. Walter Coleman was passing the yard at the time of the fight and he saw an Italian brandishing a knife and heard him sav: "Kill the Dutch pig." Mrs. Sophia Plohr and numerous other witnesses testified against the Italian. Drs. Kirk and Espey, who held the autopsy, in their report said Helmstetter came to his death from knife and scalp wounds. William Reardon denied all connection with the affair. He said he had not been out of the house. His wife's testimony was in the same strain. Mrs. Mulinaro and Mrs. Zappe also denied all part in the crime. The Italians were not asked to tes tify, and the jury rendered the verdict above named. All of the women have little infants and these they took to jail with them. There are six or seven of the Reardon children left at home and they will be taken in charge by the Humane Society. DB0WHED WHILE BATHIHG. Thomas Kinney, Overcome With Cramps, Sinks Beneath tho Waters. Thomas Kinney, a puddler at Carnegie's Twenty-ninth street mill, together with his brother Daniel and two other men, were swimming in the Allegheny river at the foot of Twenty-sixth street yesterday after noon. At this p oint there are a number of rafts and coal barges anchared. Thomas Kinney dove under one of the rafts and when he came out at the other end of the timber cramps came on and he drowned before his friends reached him. All after noon the river was dragged for his body, but it was not found. The suggestion is that it is under the rafts. Kinney lived with his brother in Soring alley, between Twenty-sixth and Twenty seventh streets. He was about 40 years of age and married. Brigade Inspections. Colonel Chambers McKibben left for Harrisbutg last evening to attend a meet ing of brigade inspectors to-day. Their ob- ject is to discuss plans for holding the in specuuus ui iuc uiucrcub cucampujeuba. OPENED 'UP THE GATES. Allegheny Modifies Proposals for a New Fire Engine All Slakes to Have a Show New Engine House Property Recom mended. Allegheny's Public Safety Committee de voted its attention entirely to the fire de partment last night. Lots for new engine houses in the Seventh and Eleventh wards were approved and the advertisement for proposals for a new fire engine was modi fied so as to let in all bidders. There was bnt one bid from the Eleventh ward and it was favorably recommended. It was from James J. Brownlee, in behalf of the heirs of Joseph Seifert. The -lot is 25x140 feet, corner of Shadv avenue and Dixon street; cost $2,300. The proposal of Dr. Nicholas Schenkel, of a $1,600 lot in the Seventh ward was also favorably recom mended. This lot has a frontage of 43 1-10 feet on Haslage avenue and is 96 feet deep, running back to Rhine street. Mr. Stauffer made a motion that the com mittee reconsider its action of the last meet ing in instructing the Controller to adver tise for bids for one first-class rotary fire engine. Mr. Stauffer advocated at the meeting, Friday last, the purchase of a rotary (Silsby) engine, but has since be come convinced that the field should be open to all makers of first-class engines. The motion to reconsider was carried and he then oflered a resolution that the Chief of the Department of Public Safety be instructed to prepare specifications and advertise for bids for one first-class fire engine, and the bidder take in part payment one old, first class Amoskeag. This action was aoproved, and a resolu tion was oflered that the Chief of the De partment, the Superintendent ot the Bureau of Fire, and the Sub-Fire Committee visit different cities and inspect the varions fire engines. This was lost by a vote of 5 to 4. BRIDGE 0FFICER3 ELECTED. Annual Meeting ot the Union and Bir mingham Companies.

Officials Arranging for a Formal Breaking of Ground for tho GREAT PHIPPS CONSERVATORY. EYeryhodr Taiklnjr About the Fourth of July Celebration. COMPLIMENTED BI EASTERN YISIT0RS Now that the Fourth of July celebration is a thing of the past, Chief Bigelow is planning another attraction to draw the people to the big playground. He wants to make the breaking of ground for the Phipps conservatory a ceremonial to which the pub lics will be invited to, hear music, addresses by the Mayor and otners. and to see some prominent person throw up the first spade ful of earth where the world's greatest bot anical building is to be erected. The ground has been surveyed and every thing is in readiness for the contractors, Lord & Burnham, of New York. In fact, they desired to begin last week, but were given orders by the Chief to hold off until after tho Fourth, as he wnnted no excava tions made which would any way interfere with the enjoyment of the celebration. Yesterday he wrote the firm asking the exact date upon which their men would be here to proceed with the work. If the time is not too short the Chief will arrange for an interesting meeting of citizens when ground is broken. Starting the Carnegie Library Bnlldlnss. The initial step in the construction of the Carnegie library, which was intended as a feature of last Monday's big celebration but unavoidably postponed owing to a slight misunderstanding about the contract, will probably be made an occasion for music and oratorical fireworks also. From present indications the conservatory will be started first, although it is possible it can be arranged to break ground for both buildings on the same day. Everybody everywhere in the city and for miles around talked exclusively yester dav of Monday's celebration at Schenley Park. Tlie wonder of all was the size of the crowd. It was estimated at from 100,000 to 400,000. Mayor Gourley said he was satisfied, after careful reflection, that not less than 250,000 people visited the park during the day and evening, and ho thought that when the fireworks started there were nearly, if not quite, 100,000 there. Colonel Elkins says the Duquesne and Fifth Avenue lines carried between 157,000 and 158,000 people lrom whom fares were collected. At one time cars ran half trips, one and a half minutes anart, at the rate of 140 to 150 persons per car. Sloney in the Donhle-Decker. The double-decker had the largest receipts of any car on the road, the conductor turn ing in $1X0. Another car turned in 587. Hundreds of fares were not collected simply because the cars were so full that the conductors could not get through, or the people reached their destination before the the conductor reached them. Tho Junction Railroad ran train', every half hour, of eight cars each and it is esti mated that they carried 23,000 people from the Allegheny side of the river to the nark. The Second avenue line carried 50,000 people during the day, nearly all of whom were Schenley Park visitors. Thousands of DeoDle walked to and from the park and thousands more went in vehicles. Never before were there so many vehicles at one point in this end of the State as there were at Schenley, Mondaynight. Mayor Gourley was nleased beyond ex pression yesterday and he and Chief Bige low were being continuously congratulated over the successful and pleasant termina tion of the Independence Day celebration. The Mayor had been called upon by a party of Philadelphians who congratulated the city on its big advertisement. Complimented by Visiting Phlladelphlins. They were members of the Schnlykill Navy Athletic Club, the leading athletic organization of "Quakertown," and 20 of them were here on their way home from a trip to the leading cities in the country, during which thty participated in many great athletic events. Speaking of the cel ebration one of them said: "I have seen all the big athletic events that have occurred east of the Rockies in the past 10 years and I have seen the big crowds at such affairs in Europe, but I have never seen anything like the crowd at Schenley Park. It was not only immense but it was fair, impartial, good-natured, and orderly, and our party wa3 as well treated as we could ask. We will be glad to come back here next year, and you may rest assured we will all talk about Pitts burg hereafter in connection with Jolly big crowds, parks, athletic sports or the Fourth of July. This city forms in our minds a basis "for comparison on any of these points." Thousands of other visiting people prob ably received similar impressions, and will talk about Pittsburg wherever they go hereafter. Great Advertising for Pittsburg. "That," said the Mayor, "is one of the best features of our celebrations. They not only give happiness and enjoyment to onr own people, but they bring visitors from all over the country and they advertise us in a way that will last and continue to grow. Chief Bigelow tells me he will keep them up after my term expires. I am glad of it. They are a permanent institution of Pitts burg now. Chief Bigelow said: "No matter who is our next Mayor or who follows him the Fourth of July celebrations will continue. No matter what his inclinations might be a Mayor could not afford to refuse to take part in these annual gatherings that three years have rooted so deeply in the public affection. A Fourth of July in Pittsburg now without a big'celebration would be like the play of 'Hamlet' with Hamlet left out." Yesterday contributions to the Fourth of July fund were sufficient to cover all the expenses. They were: J. M. Guffey, 550; Hardy & Hayes, 525; Joseph R, Hunter, 55; W. G Wright, 55. A statement of re ceipts and disbursements will be puDlished in a few days. THE BOY DID NOT BETUBN. Tried to Work the Charity Department In a Salvation Army Salt. A boy dressed in the salvation army uni form called at the Department of Charities yesterday afternoon and said he wished transportation to New York where his parents, he said, live. He is 14 years old and of bright appearance. His name, he said, was Otto Miller. The secretary recognized in him the boy he had given a pass to Cincinnati a short time ago. The boy at that time said his parents resided there. He was questioned but denied this altogether in a confused manner. He was told to come back in half an hour and see Chief Elliot, He did not return. 8:50 P. M.
