MB life 2 THE PITTSBURGr DISPATCH. THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, JRS2, THE! HIVE 10 COOKS, Steward Kayhora and Super intendent Potter Are on the Outs. TROUBLE IN THE KITCHEN. The Commissary and a Majority of Cooks and Waiters Leave. SEVERAL WORKMEN ARRESTED. 1 ocked-Cnt Men Jubilant OTer the Signing of the Scale. NO WOEK FOR THE ADVISORY BOARD There is more trouble at the Homestead mill. Steward John A. Itayboru, who has all along had the contract for feeding the non-union men.has had a disagreement with Superintendent Potter. As a result of the quarrel Bajborn and 71 of his cooks and waiters refused to work yesterday and left the mill. Kayborn when questioned admitted that he had a disagreement with Superintend ent Potter. He said: "A day or two ago Mr. Potter brought a man by the name of Powers into the works and announced that he was to have entire charge of the com missary department. I objected, but the objections were overruled and for the last three days Powers, who hails from Jersey City, and who is a ho tel man by profession, has directed the task of feeding the men in the mills. Rayborn Ordrerit o Ieay. On Tuesday morning there was a wordy war between IJayborn and Potter. The re sult of this argument was that Esyborn re signed. His men stood by him, and they notified the company tbat they in tended to stop work then and there. About noon Rayborn happened to be in the kitchen attached to the dining hall No. L He was superintendinq the prepa rations for dinner, when Captain John A Newton, who commands the night watch men of the works, and our of his men rushed into the kitchen and ordered Hay born to leave the building. Another war of words ensued and then Kayborn was hurtled out of the building and taken to the main office. Bavborn says after being handled roughly he wa allowed to leave the works. Some two hours later he made his way to the office of 'Squire Glunt, at Rankin sta tion, on the opposite side of the river, and made information against Captain Newton and his four assistants, charging them with assault and battery. These warrants were given to Constable Stewart, of Homestead, who went to the mills and arrested the men. They were given a hearing before 'Squire Glunt ytsterday, Dlvldlnc 1 heir Cash. In the meantime Kayborn and his men left the works and went to the Amalga mated headquarters on Eighth avenue, llayborn received 51,200 in cash from the Carnegie Company, and late in the after noon pot in jii even hour paying on Ins mcu. This task was performed at the rooms of the Relief Committee. Bayborn ai.d his comrades went to Pittsburg on an evening train. They told the Advisory Bo-ird that 300 men now employed in the works would leave on Saturday night. This episode created a deal of talk in Home stead, but there was little or no excitement No important business was transacted by the Advisory Board last night The mem bers ot that bodv were too busy in discuss ing the cventB and incidents of the day to hai'dle any labor problems. There is no doubt butthat the Homestead strikers were confident of ultimate victory last night The news that the Pittsburg manufac tures had signed the Amalgamated scale, coupled with the fact that the cooks and waiters employed by ihe company had left, were the direct causes for their jubilant frame of mind. Tlin Company's Side. The representatives of the company affirm that the "knichts of the kitchen" had no grievance, aud thai they went out without cause. The companv's people positively declined to discuss the situation in detail. Captain Newton and three of his fonr as sistants, who were arrested on complaint of Chief Kayborn, went to the Pittsburg jail late last night in default of bail. Before be started lor the city Captain New ton simply said that the arrests were ab surd, and that Kayborn would find it diffi cult to make out a case if it came to trial. Hugh O'Donnell did not materialize in Homestead yrsterdav,and his absence caused a deal of unfavorable comment THE TIDE KEPT BUSY. Many Men and Larco Quantities of Pro visions Taken Cp the Ttlver. The Tide made her usual two trips yes terday. About 45 men were taken up in the morning, and 30 in the afternoon. Three or four came back, but they could cot be used and were discharged. Besides these about SO men were taken on further up the river. Large quantities of provisions have been carried up on each trip. One thou sand pounds of meat, 15 barrels of potatoes, 18 boxes of bread and 250 cots were among the thiugs carried to Homestead yesterday. The trouble experienced lor a" few days by the crowds of idlers about the wharf has been removed by the police. No one is al lowed to be about who cannot explain his business. Notwithstanding this vigilance quite a number of loafers take in the pro ceedings about the wharf from the Smith field street bridge, but these are not per mitted to congregate in crowds. The officers on the Tide say that the demonstrations of those living along the river have almost ceased, and they are no longer cheered while passing along the river. They take this as an indication that the strong leellng against the boat and them is gradually dying away, and they fear no more trouble. IXINT GLASS MEH MEET. Yhe Manufacturers and Their Workmen Try to rran:re the Scale. Promptly at 11 o'clock yesterday morn ing committees representing the flint glass workers and the prescription bottle manufacturers met in the Iron Exchange building.

A large number ot the men have procured work elsewhere. Yesterday a committee was around soliciting subscrip tions for the relief of the men. Borne are completely oat of funds. JOHN BEAKS ASSAULTED. Be Is Caught and Abused by a Locked Ont Mill Worker Both Sides or the Story Told The Police Kept Buy. Considerable indignation is felt by the locked-out men of the Union Mills concern ing the alleged exaggerated accounts of the assault of John Beams at an early hour yesterday morning. The first report of the affair was told by Beams. He said: "I was going to work about 4. o'clock this morning, and in order to save time I made a short cut across the Allegheny Valley Railroad track. Iu the darkest spot 1 suddenly heard two men rap idly approaching from the rear. Before I had time to get in a defensive attitude one man sprang upon my back and pinioned my arms to my side. I called for assistance and each time I opened my mouth I was struck with great violence about the head and face. I fear I should have. been killed had not the police arrived as timely as they did and placed the men under arrest wnue tbey were assaulting me." Robert W.Warren, a leader of the locked ont men, said the aflair was simply a per sonal encounter between Reams and Zimnier on account of some trouble the two men had some time ago. "The most reliable version I have ob tained," continued Mr. Warren, ''is that Conn era had no hand in the affair at all. Reams is employed as a roller, and was going to work about 3 o'clock this morning. When some 200 yards from the gate leading into the upper mill he met Zimmer. The two had words, and Reams was attacked. He immediately called for assistance, and the police captured Zimmer as he was run ning away. Conners was nearby Zimmer when he was captured, and the police seeing the two men together placed both under arrest" The locked-out men about the streets leading to the mills were ordered to "keep moving" by the police yesterday and no crowds are allowed to congregate upon the streets or corners. Police are guarding the mills and patrol the streets and railroad tracks in pairs. An incident occurred last Sunday in Mill vale which illustrates the feeling of every one connected with the locked-out men against those who have succeeded them. Four children of Charles Schofferline, a non-union roller working in the upper mill, went over into Millvale upon a visit While going they were coaxed into a boat by a crowd of children, and after theirshoes and stockings were taken lrom them their feet and legs, as well as bands and faces, were blacked with stove polish and then were run home by the crowd. To Resume Operation. The Braddock Wire Mill will resume operations to-day after a three weeks' shut down. During the suspension several needed repairs were made. There is enongh work promised to keep the plant running steadily. NEW BAIL WAT OK THE SOUTHSIDE. The Su Durban Kupid Transit Company's Cars to Be Banning Soon. A special meeting of the stockholders of the Suburban Rapid Transit Street Railway Company was held yesterday at the office of the company at No. 118 Diamond street The meeting was well attended and con siderable business was transacted. It was decided to inerease the indebted ness of the company from 550,000 to $100, 000. This was made necessary from the ex tension of the line from the city limits to Jane and Eighteenth streets, Southside. As the lines are now projected there will be 2 miles of double track, and in all about 3)4 miles of ground will be covered, making in all five miles of single track. The power of the plant will be increased to 400 elec trical horse power. Six new cars and motors were ordered. The total number of cars to be used on the line will be 12. It is ex pected to have the line completed and cars running within 30 days. All the tracks have been laid. The posts are now being put up, and all the materials are on the ground. The electrical generators will be here within ten days and will be put in at once. The power house will be located at Knox ville, and just outside the city limits. The old turnpike has been uniformly graded and is now a splendid roadbed. The road will run from White Hall to Eighteenth street, down Eighteenth to Jane street and back up to the Twenty-fourth ward. Much trouble and expense were caused by the refusal of the Thomas Evans Glass Company to allow the grade at Mary and Josephine streets to be cut down so as to make it a uniform grade. As it now stands it is alleged the company and public are .alike discomfited, aud much complaiut is being made. This new transit line taps thej most popular districts on the Southside and is anxiously awaited for by the public. BEATEN WITH A BAIL BAT. A Boss Probably Fatally Hart by a Man Whom lie Discharged. A fight occurred in Tarentum yesterday that may result in a murder.

MYRIADS OF METEORS Falling Through. Space Into' Yoid From Everj Direction. ANNUAL SHOWER OF PALE STARS Sightseers View the Phenomenon With Great Interest. PECULIAR RAINFALL IN DUFF CITY A heavy meteorio shower occurred last night between the hours of 9 p. M. and 3 Ju M., during which over 1,000 shooting stars were observed. The phenomenon was quite generally watched in and about Pittsburg, and parties of star gazers, in the literal sense of the words, were numerous in the suburbs and other parts high enough for clear, unob structed views. The meteors, as a rule, were quite small in size and flashed across a portion of the sky with but mediocre ve locity. They were pf a pale yellowish color, as observed through astronomical in struments, and soon spent themselves. The brilliance of the moon affected the eastern sky during the earlier hours of the night, and it was difficult to compute the numbers, as but three parts of the sky could be no ticed. The greatest cumber seemed to be iu the west to the naked eye, but the proba bilities are that the other parts were equally as productive, but were invisible on account of the moon. The Tim for Shootlnc "The latter part of July and the first fortnight in August are, as a rule, the most prolifio times for the meteorio stars, as the Constellation Perseid is in the direct path of the earth's orbit" Prof. Keeler said last night: "Perseid is the most prolific of the heavenly constellations regarding meteorio showers, as they are the most widely and equally distributed, and are not limited to a particular date, although more or less abundant at this particular time of the year." He went on. "The showers from Perseid are tbe most ordinary to astonomers and less interest is directed toward them, as they have upon no occasion been distin guished by discoveries of any note. TVhrr the Stones Come From. "The celebrated meteoric shorn er of No vember 12, 1833, when the stars fell in snowstorm numbers, came from the con stellation Lionides. and the meteor picked up in Mexico in 18S5 came from a shower from the Andromeda group. "Prof. Young, of the IiicK Observatory, in his article upon meteoric showers says none of these stars have ever reached the earth, with the exception of that which fell in Mexico in 1885. He gives the general belief ot their size as too small to burn throughout the entire passage between their position and the earth. He compares them, in this regard, to a pebble and a boulder, the aeroite which frequently reaches the earth as tbe latter and the shooting star as tbe pebble. He supple ments this, however, by saying the possi bility is that the shooting starts a small cloud of dust in whichgas is intermingled aud likens it to a puff of smoke. Twenty-Five Miles a Second. "The shooting star from the Perseid group generally moves at a" rate of 25 miles a sec ond of earthly measurement, while the meteors from the Leonides constellation are much swifter. This is due to tbe different positions the bodies are in when in olosest contact with the earth. The Leonides meteors coming directly toward tbe earth and those from Perseids more slanting." Prof. Keeler, of the Allegheny observa tory, was too intent upon his observations of Mars to pay more than passing attention to the phenomenon. In speaking of it to a Dispatch man he said it would have no effect upon tbe earth and the planet Mars was in no way responsible for it ','Much talk is indulged in about this time he con tinued, "to the efilct that these shooting stars have more or less of an effect upon tbe earth, but there is nothing in it The stars move irresponsible of any of the planets near us. They have no effect upon the elements and as far as wo cow know upon anything else. They are merely peculiarities of the constellations from which they come. They differ materially from comets and other aerolites as- they make no sound and their passage is so rapid that it is most difficult to get any idea of the component parts of them. One very bright meteor from the Lionides group was closely watched some few years ago and the observer reported It to be composed of magnesia and iron, but discoveries are rare," and the professor returned to Mars. A Peculiar Phenomenon. A peculiar phenomenon of the elements occurred yesterday afternoon near Duff City, a village some 18 miles out the Pitts burg turnpike. A heavy rain fell for a considerable time, and the ground was muddy and n ater ran into pools to a depth of several inches. So it was for a radius of six miles. Withont this radius the ground was dry, parched and the roads were dusty. The dividing line between the wet and the dry was very distinct, and the farmers in tbe locality are at a loss to understand the singular phenomenon. Quite a severe electrical storm occurred in the eastern part of the county aud tele graph wires suffered considerably. Alto gether it was quite a phenomenal day. BENT TO THE WORKHOUSE. The Police on the Lookout for Shady Theat rical Companies. W. H. Mansfield, the alleged bogus theat rical manager who was arrested a day or two ago, was sentenced30 days to the work house yesterday. His wife called at police headquarters and said she intended to apply for a di vorce from her husband. She got acquainted with Mansfield in Findlay, and said her husband had tried to work the same scheme in Cleveland, but she did not think he got much money there. The police- say some attention is to be paid such concerns. It is said there are a number of agencies of various kinds in the city that are rather shady. They are work ing on one case now that is expected to de velop in a few days. It is said the estab lishment in question is doing a land office business. GE0BGE SHETLEB'B BODY FOUND.

His body was badly cat up. v THE GATES FORCED OPEN, And a Pittsburg Chinaman Gets Through Into the United States A Pittsburg Min ister and the Government Officials Lock Horns Over the "Matter. After a battle with ihe United States Government extending over six weeks, Yee Lee, a Pittsburg Chinaman, has been al lowed to return to this city. While the contest was waged Yee Lee, at his own ex pense, was beld at Gretna, in Canada, across tho line from North Dakota. Just a year ago Yee Lee, a Chinese mer chant, left Pittsburg to visit his relatives in China. He did not go to San Francisco as most Chinamen da He went by Vancouver to Gretna and sailed from a British port. During bis absence the Chinese exclusion law was enacted. He left China to return to Pittsburg about 10 'weeks ago. He was returning by the same route over which he went. When he arrived at Pembina, N. D., just six weeks ago he was compelled by the Collector of the Port there to go back over the Canadian line to Gretna. The Chinaman had with him passports signed by Mayor Gourley, of this city. He also carried letters from Rev. E. R." Done hoo. He displayed these papers to the Gov ernment official at Pembina, but to no effect He was positively refused admission to tbe United States. Yee Lee at once notified Rev. E. R. Donehoo of his predicament and Mr. Done hco immediately entered Into negotiations with the Treasury officials for the admission of the Chinaman. Several poiuted letters passed between the West End minister and Secretary Foster, and an agent was sent from tbe Treasury Department to the North Dakota port to in vestigate the case. At one time it was de cided that Yee Lee would have to go back to China, but Mr. Donehoo fought vigor ously against such an order and one letter followed another between the Government officials and the Pittsburg minister. Last night, however, Mr. Donehoo re ceived offic'al notice from the Treasury De partment informing him that Yee Lee would be admitted to the Uuited States, and that tbe Collector of the Port at Pem bina had been so notified. After receiving the letter Mr. Donehoo at once notified Yee Lee by telegraph that he was at liberty to come home. He is expected to arrive in Pittsburg early next week. "It was a hard fight," Rev. Donehoo said last night, "but we have won out and our Chinaman can come back whenever he pleases. This is the first case on record where the port officers have been reversed. Two weeks ago smallpox broke out at Gretna, and our Chinaman, with others, who were held there, had to be sent into the wilderness, where he has smee been staying. He will now be brought into civilization." FALSE PRETENSE CHARGED. A McDonald Oil Operator Gets After an Old-Tims Friend. W. W.

Desperate Encounter Between Two Angry Colored Men ENDS IN A BL00DI TEAGEDT. Gabs Hosby Cat in the Abdomen During the Struggle, HE DIES AND HIS MURDERER ESCAPES Gabriel Mosby was stabbed In the abdo men by Ed McAllen in Ed Brooks' restau rant, No. 271 Wvlie avenue, yesterday aft ernoon and died from the effects of the wound at the Mercy Hospital at 9:30 last evening. All parties connected with the affair are colored. Ed Brooks, the proprie tor of the restaurunt, was an eye-witness to the fight and tells the following story : "Eddie McAllen, or 'Eddie, the kid,' as we generally call him, was a shiftless sort of a fellow. He would never work as long as he had a dollar abont him. He has worked off and on for me during the past year. The last time I employed him was week before last, when he worked Satur day aud Sunday. He was never employed regularly by me, as he was not a man to be depended upon. Mosby, tbe man who was stabbed, bas been working for me for some time. He came here from Clinton, Sampson county, N. C This morning about 8 o'clock, he complained of cramps and said he would have to stop work. I asked him if he could not get some one to come in his place." He said he thought he could get a friend named Lind say to work for 'him. He got Lindsay and then went over to tho drugstore to get something for his cramps. He came back and went upstairs and laid down, but not for any length of time for he came down stairs and said he was going to the doctor. Ue Was Crying Mad. "Next I saw him in the back yard and he said he felt better. I was standing in the kitchen and Mosby came in to me crying mad, asking me it I ever bad occasion to prevent Lindsay sticking a knife into him. I told him I never had; that he must be drunk to act as he did, and he had taken too much whisky for his cramps. He said he had not and did not propose to have any one lie about him, declarini if Eddie McAllen came in the kitchen he would batter his head in with the poker. I told him to be quiet and go upstairs, and if he should want to quarrel with McAllen to go ont in the street, as I did not propose to nave any scrapping about my place. Then he said that I could give him his money and he would go if I thought he was drunk. "Just at this point.it was about 2 o'clock, in walked Eddie McAllen to get a drink of water. Mosby no sooner saw him than be nicked up a poker and backed up against the door. I saw there was going to be a scrap, so I yelled for them to get out on the OUIUJ, DU A.

There is a breadbox which stands between the restaurant and kitchen, and the bread knife is always on the top of the box. Mc Allen spied the knife, picked it up and plunged it into Mosby's abdomen. Pell at the Doctor's Offlon. "Mosby immediately started for the front door and down Arthur street with his intestines protruding. He succeeded in get ting down a block when he fell to the ground in front of Dr. Turfley's office. Here a young colored man named Lo Jones came to bis assistance and removed him to the office of the colored physician, Dr. lllmSt...... t,nl. woo nAarfttr II illiSUU. tIM.UIft nM U.lll(li , "McAllen, as soon as he did the stabbing,. made a rush tor tne DacK door ana went out through the back yard, howling and yelling like a madman. He was so excited he did not know what be was saying nor could any one understand him. I did think of trying to detain him, but he still had the knife in his hand and I Mid not care to take any chances. "Dr. Whitson, the colored physician who first attended the wounded man, said: 'I waB taking dinner when young Jones rushed up to me and said that a man had been stabbed. I went immediately to my office and found Mosby sitting on a chair with his intestines protruding. I fixed him in a large physician's chair and dressed his wound as well as I could.' Followed by a Minister. ' "Tbe Bev. Clinton had seen Mosby com ing down the street and followed him to my office. Mosby did not make any statement regarding the affair, but put in all his time telling the minister who he was, where he came from and praying. About 4 o'clock I sent him to the Mercy Hospital in their ambulance. The cut on the surface did not measure more than three inches on the left side of the abdomen, but it was very deep, probably five inches. The knife with which the stabbing was done was very pointed. I am not surprised that the man died, for there was no hope for him when I firs t saw him." The story that McAllen was formerly em ployed in the same position that Mosby held, and that McAllen was in the habit of going to the restaurant and quarreling with him about the plaoe, one of these fights resulting in the murder which occurred yesterday, is said by people who know the facts to have no foundation. McAllen, the alleged mur derer, is about 22 years of age, 5 feet 5 Inches in height, of dark color and weighs 135 pounds. He had on a dark suit and a cap. He had not been arrested at 1 o'clock this morning. The police authorities are after him. Mosby's body was removed from Merey Hospital to tbe morgue last night. A STEAHDED COSTA EICA COLONY.

Norrow, of Pennsylvania, returned yes terday from Costa Bica with Gertrude At wood, 11 years old, of Worcester, they Deing of a patry of colonists who were taken there some three months ago .by the "Central American Land, Colonization and Mining Company, of Hornellsville, N. Y., and Hor nella, Costa Bica." The colonists, they say, had to cut their way through a wilderness to he site ot the proposed city of Hornella. When "the city" was reached the process of clearing was retarded by the Tain, and after a lew weess exposure tne coioniits.began to come down with mountain fever and malaria. The lood consisted mostly of cereals, and the only water fit to drink was rain collect ed in rude pails. Indians who guided them to "the city" put up primitive thatched cabins. The sickness increased. Gertrude's lather died of the fever two weeks ago and ,was buried the same night. NorrowJ whose health is badly shattered, brought the little firl to her former home. She has been bad y stung by insects, and is under a physi cian's care. Other colonists, they say, are prevented from returning by lack of lunds,' and their condition, it is stated, is pitiable.
