CONSTABLE -EAS A TROUGH IPXBINC A new phase of the Homestead strike has developed. A number of the children will be kept away from school this morning be cause two of the teachers are daughters of an Amalgamated 'Association man who wearied of the strike and returned to work. The teachers are Misses Mae and Anna Bailer, daughters of William F. Bailey, :hief engineer of the Carnegie mills. They ire emphatic in saying ther will hold their positions to the last The locked-out par ents of the school children are just as firm in insisting upon the two teachers resigning. The teacherv are backed by the law and by their -vigorous .old father. The locked out men hare the President of the Board of directors and one director with them. , These two are the only members of the board who are locked-out men. A petition has been in circulation during the lost two weeks and has been quite -generally signed. By this petition all children who are taught bv the Misses Bailey will be kept at home, ind the Law and Order Society of Alle gheny county will have an opportunity of coming forward to insist upon children's education. In case tne children are com pelled to go to school the lives of the teachers will be made rather hard to bear, and by this method the teachers are ex pected to yield. llii) Directors Ho'd a Mnetliic. The school directors held a meeting in the Second ward school building last night but the strike question did not come np, according to President George "W. Sarver. The president said be apprehended no trouble and -did not think that the matter would be carried to the excess of tantaliz ing the teachers at any rate. "Miss Mae Bailey is our training teacher," continued the President, "and of course the matter will not reach her. Miss Anna Bailey teaches the filth grade pnpils in the Third ward school, and it is in her room, if anywhere, that the difficulty will occur. I have heard of these petitions but do not think the matter will prove as serious as the talk seems to warrant." "What will be the result it the fifth grade pupils retuse to come to school?" "We shall make an effort to find another room for the teacher, but if none can be found she will he suspended until we -do. The matter has not been brought to the at tention of the board in any official way, but all I knr-w of the matter is what I have been told. I have not seen the petition, but I understand it has been circulated. I do-not think there will be any trouble and sincerely hope there will not." He stood Enough. Mr. Bailey was seen at his home opposite the Carnegie mills. He said he had been assured by someone in authority, whom he would not name, who had promised to see the ladies suffered no inconvenience. "And they had better -not," continued the en gineer with a threatening shake of his head. "I have stood just about enough of this tort of thing. Last Saturday night a gang collected across the street and began hoot ing my house. There were ladies upon my porch or I would have shot at them, and I want to say right here that if it doesn't stop there will be trouble in a certain quarter." The threatened break in the ranks of the strikers occurred yesterday, and upwards of 100 men returned to work. The majority were laborers of the foreign element, but a number were formerly employed in the me chanical department "and returned to their old positions. About G o'clock yesterdav morning a large body of Slavs and Huns'passed up the Munhall road and a short time later the skilled workmen followed and did not re turn. This report was authenticated bv the sentinels on duty about the mills, who in formed Colonel Meckling, the Provost Mar shal, that the men quietlv passed their posts at that hour and nothing more was eeen of them. Th Krpeirt Han Down. A circuit of the posts was made and from the accounts of all the sentinels inter viewed, the men -were not seen beyond the mill gates, while they positively were seen going in that direction. There was little if any talk about the matter among the locked-out men beyond a vigorous refutation of the report None of the latter admit that more than fifteen strikers returned to work and denounce the report as a canard. , Superintendent Potter said some of the strikers had returned,'-but did not specify the number. There stems but little doubt of the truth of the report A man was seriously injured in the con verting mill by being caught in the elevator shafting. Late Sunday night while the men were erecting the furnaces an explo sion occurred in the 119-inch plate mill and one of ttie men was seriously injured and four others slightly. The names of none of the wounded men could be ascertained. THE OFFICES HAD HIS SHARE. A Constable Arrests a Workman nt Home stead and Both Are Aboard. Constable James W. Jack, of Alderman Kerr's office, had a lively experience in making an arrest at Homestead yesterday. Annie Barr, living on Butler, Dear Thirty-' sixth streets, appeared before Alderman Kerr and entered information against Fred Leidner charging him with a serious of fense. Leidner is employed at Homestead as roller. Yesterday morning Constable Jack placed Leidner under arrest The constable and his prisoner had but just passed the gates when a large crowd collected. They were followed all the way to the depot, and every few minutes some person would veil, "Lynch the scab," or "Kill the blacksmith." While waiting at .the depot the crowd pressed around Leid ner, and it was with difficulty that the con stable could keep them from 'making an at tack. As they boarded the train a shower of sticks and stones from the crowd missed both men. Leidner was taken before Alder man Kerr, ana being unable to turnish 500 bail, was committed to jail to await a hear ing Thursday. A Terr Odd Family. P.ev. Samuel Wakefield, D. D., LL.

"STesterday was Labor Day, and a misera ble day it was, -too. There Was rain -nearly all day, a persistent, dull, foggy rain, cot very often heavy, "but always wet There were many people on the streets, for fac tories and mills were generally closed. The sidewalks downtown were crowded with wet and sloppy people and obtrusive um brellas. There were "no -parades. The -workingmen have been Idle so long this summer that they did Hot feel like pa rading. Besidesif "theY Aad wished to parade, the weather would have interfered. The Scotch games on 'the ground of the Allegheny Athletic Association were the only big outdoor features, and the rain took all the fun out of that affair. The sky cleared just after noon, and about 800 peo ple went to the ground. There was a parade along 'the streets leading to the park, -with plaids and bagpipes, bnt just abont the time matters were ready for the opening, the heaviest rain of the day began and continued 'for over an hour. At 4 o'olock there was a lull, and the fames went on in the mud. The machinists tried to plbnio at Bock. Point, and the carpenters also at Boss' Grove, but the crowds were small and the rain spoiled both of them. A. lew nags were hung out, and drooped motionless in the rain. The banks and - .. ww' . . . other business offices were closed, but the municipal offices in Allegheny were all open. In Pittsburg, however, the offices in City Hall were closed. Many people called to pay taxes and to transact other business, ' but went away disappointed. Senator Flinn was about the hall and recognized the condition of things. He expressed- the opinion that Labor Day and Saturday half holidays -were not intended for city and connty empjoyes, "but for working men and women, and he volunteered the information that he intended framing an amendment to the law, making it inapplicable to city and county offices, that they might be present to attend the "working people" on a lay when the latter could find h em. WHERE IT'S RED HOT. The Democrats or the Sichteentll Ohio District Doing Battle A feost of -Candi date How the Stmcc'o looks on the the Eve or the Cotnmlttoe Meeting. Axmaxce, O., Sept a SpteULl The DemocraticXSongressional Convention to be held in this city to-morrow will nndoubt enly be the largest and liveliest that the Democrats have ever held in the Eighteenth district Most of the candidates are on the ground, and the hotels ore filled with their followers, who are -working the few dele gates that came in this evening for all tbey are worth. Sam Phipps, of Toungs tow'n, who was supposed to have the Mahoning county delegation solid, it is said to-night will not have more than two thirds of the delegation on the first ballot, and since ex-Senator Howells, of Massillon, has announced himself as a candidate, will hardly be able to hold the Stark county votes that he was relying on to nominate him. The contest seems to have settled down between Phipps, Howells, ex-Mayor Tay lor, ot Salem, with the chances favoring Taylor. A majority of the' Columbiana connty delegation, and nearly all the dele gates lrom the east end -of Stark connty have promised him their votes. He also has the indorsement of labor unions. The knowing ones say, however, thatadeadlock will result and a dark horse secure the prize. The friends of Ikert, of East Liverpool, held a conference at the Bussell House this evening, and after coming to a conclusion that their delegation in Columbiana county were in thr miuority, passed a resolution to stick to him to the last and shun dark horses. To-day quite a boom was started in favor of Major Centine, of this city, and should a deadlock ensue, the Major would undoubtedly develope great strength among the delegates. Elitor Poots, of New Lis bon, arrived in town to-night, and an nounced himself as a candidate from Colum biana county in case Taylor and Ikert failed. HOT FOE COLONEL AHDY.

John Brennen, of Camp Meigs, W. Va., came to Pittsburg yesterday to spend the day. While passing along Liberty street last night he dropped into a shooting gal lery and took a few shots at the targets. The proprietor made a few remarks at his failure to hit the target, and Brennan told him not to.interfere. It is alleged the pro prietor hit him in the face and Brennan re turned the blow. A private watchman came along and locked Brennan up. , Arrested on Suspicion. George Smith, a young colored man, claiming both Harrisburg and Indianapolis as his home, was arrested on Liberty street last night while trying the doors of busi ness bouses on that thoroughfare.

The Old Sa'xburcera Still TTorklagat a Nearly-Forgotten Industry. Harper's Magazine. The most distinctive industry of the Salz burgers was the culture ot the silk-worm and the weaving of silk. Even as far north as Virginia much care was bestowed on silk. General Oglethorpe shared in this general enthusiasm, and encouraged the industry among the colonists. As far back as 1733 the trustees of the province induced Nico las Amatis, of Piedmont, to remove to Geor gia. Besides h.is family, Amatis took with him his servant, Jacques Camuse, for the special purpose of rearing silk-worms and manufacturing silk. In 17S8 the Saliburger pastor, the Bev. ' Mr. Bolzius, led in Introducing the indus try among his people. In 1742, 600 mul berry trees were sent to Ebenezer, and a machine was erected for nrebarln? the llk- By the year 1760 nearly all the English had abandoned the silk industry. But the Salz burgers persevered, and lu 1761 they sent over to England 1,000 pounds of cocoons and 74 pounds of raw silk, which brought them a return of 110. The trustees of the province encouraged the industry by giving to each female who should learn the art of spinning a reeling machine and 2 in money. . All about the old church at the present Ebenezer there are still mulberry trees, no doubt the neglected descendants of the original planting a century and a half ago. Indeed, the present Balzburgers have not quite given up the working in silk. I stopped at the home of a venerable couple where Iaaw the plain and well-worn spin ning reels used for this purpose. There Is however, no longer any weaving of silk in all the region. The only article manufac tured is fishing lines. These are of the fin est and strongest quality, and are in great demand in Savannah. Some of the silk goods manufactured by Oglethorpe's colon ists commanded ft hlgh'prioe in the marked I of the Old World. The Queen of England jOn one occasion surprised her guests by wearing a dress made entirely ot the woven hv the Georgia wearers, CARNEY AT COLUMBUS. The Amalgamated' Tlce President Ad dresses it Crowd of'10,000 In tlaCB or Hash O'DonnclI He Says Potter Mmt Have 11,000 Men at YTorfc According to His Claims. COtBMBtfs. tX, Sept & tfpertaL A parade of 5,000 and a crowd of 10,000 at one of the parks were the outward demonstra tions of Labor Day. The feature of the speech-Making Was the address of W. A. Carney, of Homestead, Vice President oi the Amalgamated Association. He ap peared in place of Hugh o'Donnell, who he said was -undergoing a continued perse cution by Carnegie & Co. He claimed the locked-out men would win the day at Homestead; that there were ho disagreements among the leaders of the locked-out men nor any lack "Of harmony; that the chances for winning were never better than now. He congratulated Ohio that Labor Day had been made legal bv enactment, a fact which industrial Pennsyl vania had so far refused to do. The speaker said the conference commit tee which called upon Mr. Friok Was hot refused because ot any difference on the point oi wages, bnt because ot the time at which the scale should terminate; that the wage question was never discussed with Carnegie & Co. They now, he said, were spending $10,000 a week in caring for those at Homestead who were not able to care for themselves, and that money was pouring in from eyery source. Ohio, he said, stands better with labor organizations than Penn sylvania; that tBey were treated with con tempt by the judiciary at home and with sarcasm by the greater part of the press. In au interview Carney soldi They are making a pretense of running the mills, but they are not turning out commer cial steeL I Judge there are. between Sou aha 100 men actually working In the mills, but their woik is to bad that the steel manu factured has to be broken upand re-woiked. They cannot fill the Government 'contracts, and will soon discover that they are losing entirely too much money to justify & Con tinuance of their conduct The men now In the mills are an inferior lot and can never be useful to the company. Why, most of the Improvements on the machinery in the mills were made by the steel workers them selves, now lockeu ont, and these scabs are not capable even of learning to wore the machinery, much less to Invent something new. The company never will be able to workjthese mills. PotterglVes out rrom day to day that he has so many new men. We have kept account of these reports, and find that according to his statements, he bad over 11,000 men, yet he has not Deen able to fill ode contract, and as I said, has now less than 400 men at work and they are making bad steel and breaking good machinery. BKD&00MS OF IHE -OBIENT. Queer Customs Prevailing Among the Heulhen of the Far Cast. Pearson's Wetkly.J The bedrooms of the Orient are far differ' ent from those of Christendom. Fully half the women ot the world sleep upon the floor or the ground, and even the richest or the ladles of Asia have never known the luxury of hair mattresses and spring beds. Most of these Mongolian beauties don't know what a feather, bed means, and there is in most museums a Japanese pillow, consist ing of a piece of wood about the size of a loaf of bread with a piece of soft paper tied on the top of it, and so made that it will just fit into Yum Turn's neck and prop her head off the floor. t - The Japanese girl never needs to shake up her pillow, and It Is her neck rather thau her head that lies upon it The same kind of pillows are used in China and Siam, and as to the average woman of Hindostan, she does not know what a pillow means. You could buy her whole wardrobe for four shillings, and she sleeps on the floor, while her husband cuddles himself np ih spoon fashion on the bed. The Korean pillow Is about eight inches square and a foot long. I have seen some that were two feet long. .They are as hard as though they were flat irons wrapped In cloth, and there is nothing comfortable about them. The Egyptians nse large pil lows, and the beauties ot the harems sleep on big blvans, which are often covered with Turkish rugs. The richest woman in China, whose hus band died worth ten millions, has a bed fully six feet square. It is made ot teak wood, and it is covered with ropes instead of a mattress. The old lady lies on a can vas stretched tightly over this, and she does not know what springs are. The Japanese sleep on the floor. They have thick quilts, which they spread on the floor at night, and which they pack away in cupboards in the daytime, and these con stitute the bed. The Burmese also sleep on the floor, but they usually spread down in stead of quilts, and the pillows are of bamboo. The same discomfort of Bleeping arrangements prevails all over the East, and there Is not a washstand in any Asiatic bedroom. THEOEt OF ELECIBICITY. The Scientists Debating Whether It 'Is a Material Thing or Not. Mechanical News. J There is an active debate in progress among scientific scholars on the question whether there Is, after all, such a thing as electricity using the word "thing" as im plying a m&tejtal entity or whether it is merely an effect, or, to speak more technically, a mode of motion. If the latter theory is accepted by the scientific world as correct electricity will still be in very respectable company. for both heat and light have gone that way before. Not very long ago they were sup posed, even by philosophers to be actual substances, not exactly tangible or ponder able, but still having a positive material existence, and liable someday to be weighed and measured, manipulated and transported like any other commodity. Practically, of course, this is done when a ton of coal or a pound of candles changes hands. Bui in any of these cases it is only the vehicle or agent which Is visiby dealt in, and It will only be by a figure of speech that we shall ever ask for a hundred Weight Of heat or a allon of light The analogies of the c ase seem to point to the same conclusions as re gards electricity. .

Possibly the question is not of much moment save as a topic of abstract controversy. When Bishop Berkley says there is no mat ter. It is no matter what Bishop Berkley says. But speculative inquiries such as this have often led, and will, in many instances lead, to results of vast practical usefulness to mankind. Picked the Jtinperor'a PocKet. A man who could make a great name for himself temporarily If he wished to do so is the individual who picked the pocket of the German Emperor at a recent review of troops.

SCENE OP -TERRIBLE CONPUSIOK. The Favored lover Padlj Wounded by Fullet in the Breast DIB ASSAILANT AT OSOB ARRESTED Two United States soldiers, stationed at the arsenal, on Penn avenue, quarreled about a woman at an Allegheny dance last night, and one seriously shot the other on the dancing floor. The dance was given by a Slavonic or ganization called the Society of St Michael the Archangel and was In the Turner Hall on South Canal street The society is com posed of young men, few of whom speak English. The dance last evening was largely attended by young Slavs of both sexes and the hall was crowded. There were some'Germans present Two police officers stood at the, lower door, but could not see what occurred in the dance hall on the second floor. Only soft drinks were sold at the bar in the building, but there was a constant procession to and from a sa loon about a block away. Two Soldiers And One Woman. John Payanko and Michael Slaine, pri vates In the ordnance corps and located at the United States arsedal, went to the ball In plain clothes. Payanko was accompanied by a pretty, dark haired young woman of Lawrenceville. During the evening the young lady danced with both mefi sev eral times, aud Payanko appeared to be Jealous. . Each man slipped out sev eral times to the saloon. At about 9 o'clock the lady was dancing with Payanko, when Slaine stepped upon the noor, ana stopped tnem, laying nia hand npon the other man's shoulder. As Payanko turned to him, Slaine -said, "This Is my dance." Payanko instantly struck his rival and knocked him down. Slaine scrambledto his feet and was again struck a blow which staggered him. The lady in the quarrel be gan to scream, and the entire body of dancers Were thrown into 'confusion. Slaine thrust his band Into his hip pocket, drew a heavy revolver and fired. It within six Inches of Payanko's breast The music stopped, women screamed and there was a rush for the stage and doors. The scene was one of the greatest confusion. The floor was crowded with dancers and the balcony with spectators. Several women fainted. Thosein the balcony shrieked as loud as those in the Immediate vicinity of the two struggling men. These two, in a moment almost, had the center of the floor to themselves. Flchtlnc on the Dance Floor. As soon as Slaine fired Payanko threw his arms around him and tried to throw him. Blaine's hand holding the revolver was free, and he flourished the smoking weapon about his antaganist's head, evi dently trying to shoot again. He could not get the revolver cocketL Meanwhile the two men struggled desperately around the hall. Spectators feared for a time to approach. The weapon might be again dis charged at any moment and some innocent person killed.' The women having nearly all escaped from the hall, three or four stout young meii rushed in upon the fighters and put an end to the struggle. John Hosao jerked the revolver from Blaine's hand and others held the men apart Payanko's vest was stained with blood and he was breathing very hard. He was led down stairs by friends, and was hurried away to the office of Dr. John D. Shauer, on Chestnut street. Maine Arrested Afitl Payanko Sent Humi Two police officers pushed their way into the building, through the great crowd of excited people on the. stairway and seized Slaine as he was trying to make his way out He was sent in the patrol wazon to the police station. . There he gave his age. as 23, his birthplace as Austria and his oc cupation that ot a soldier. The police con sidered him very drunk. He seemed Una ble to give any account of what had taken place. Hosao was afterward arrested and held as a witness. On opening Payanko's clothing, Dr. Shauer saw ''.it the revolver had been held so close that the skin was burned and blackened with powder. The bullet bad entered the body at the base of the breast bone, and had glanced from that bone ap parently to the left The physician could not locate the ball by superficial examina tion, but he did not think that the wound would be fatal. After dressing the wound he put the man into his buggy aud sent him to its arsenal in the charge of the young lady and a Slavonic friend. The young woman stuck close to Payanko, and was grextly distressed over his condition. The tears glistened in her black eyes as she asked the doctor if John would die ' HEIGHT OT THS QTBLS. The Physical Training lias b Oood In- flaenco on Their Growth. London Hospital. "Have you noticed," Said a gilded youth in Hyde I'ark, "how much taller the girls have been these last few seasons than form erly?" The remark was just, and though it did not seem to strike the critio the reason for the change is obvious enough. These tall girls, with their graceful figures aud free movements, have had an, education in gymnastics which has developed them to a point of physical perfection of which their mothers never dreamed. A recent critio complained that little women had "gone out" in tiction, and per haps this has happened, because to a great extent the little woman has gone-out in real life. So much the better, for though 'in stories, and perhaps in courting days, there is something fascinating in the heroine's bird-like flutterings, in her nestling timidly in the hero's protecting arms, or standing on tiptoe to fasten a flower in his button hole, ibe charming fairy was apt, if you only knew it, to become au invalid in ma turer life, and spend half her time upon the sofa The lady, who reclines npon a sofa has also vanished from fiction, at least as an interesting and attractive character, and to die of consumption is no longer romantic. Health is in fashion in the park and else where. . !THE BELLS OF COLOGNE. Their Joyful Feala Bins Ldudty of Peace Among; the Germans. "The Cologne Cathedral bells whose mighty melodies can be heard so far num ber also among them the largest in uttpe,, ana the great .Kaiser-giocice, 27 tons in weight, was cast from 22 bronze cannon taken in the Franco-Prussian "War," says Elizabeth Birslaud in.the Cosmopolitan.

"And again on the 15th of October of that year, when Emperor William L, his Queen and family, surrounded by the great est nobles and dignitaries of the realm, amid the roar of cannon and the voices of bells, the city gay with flags and flowers and triumphal arohes, and singing with German cheers, announced the great work completed the sign aud seal let npon Ger- iuiui uuiu uuujvcavG LABOR HOSTS IN LINE. Clear Wethr Fast and West, bnt More Or toes Ealoy In Central Cities The Vital Celebrations In Almost All Big Industrial Centers. New York, Sept. 8.A more beautiful day tbaa this could not well have been chosen hy the tollers of the city for the annual celebration of Labor Day. Every body recognizes it. both rich and poor. The national political headquarters closed their doors. "The procosslon took the tolling hosts to Woodside Park, Long Island, where the day was spent All Government offices, municipal departments and business houses alike olosed their doors. At Wash ington, where the horseshoers and brick layers were in charge, the day was also cloudless. At Chicago, under a tunny iky, 40,000 men paraded double the number on any previous Labor Day demonstration. This was due to the healing of old feuds. There were threats by a group of about 100 Radicals to break ranks on reaching the reviewing stand at a mark of displeasure at the presence of Mayor Washburne, who Is not popular with the red-flag faction. Vig orous action by the trades and labor as semblies last evening, however, looking to the immediate physical discipline by their fellow-workmen, seemed 'to cow the rebels. Speeches were delivered by Congressman Burrows, ex-Congressmen Elnerty and Mason, and others. At Cincinnati an early rain ceased in time for a parade of 12,000 men. Nearly 7.000 workmen were in line at St Louis, while Kansas City claimed 3,000 more than its larger Missouri rival The customary cele brations were also held in Ban Francisco, Columbus, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Indian apolis, Detroit, Brooklyn and Other large cities. At Bellatre Thomas F. Crawford and John P. Coyle, of the Advisory CoramltUe oi tne Amalgamated Association at Home stead, spoke to an Immense audience. An Improvement In ttorsesnows. Horseshoes of aluminum have been tried in Finland. A number of hones of a cav alry regiment were shod on one fore and one hind foot Witn aluminum shoes and on the other with ordinary Iron shoes. After slxweeks' use the former had worn better thau the Iron shoes, nnd not one ot them had gone to pieces, although .the horses had been all the time moving on a hard and stony road. A new type of horseshoe has been patented in England. The shoeis formed from a bar of mild steel and has four clips, the Inside of which is supplied with sharp points. These clips grip the outside ot the foot and hold the shoe firmly in place. The underneath part of the shoe is grooved and an India rubber pad or rib is inserted in the groove. Thfs pre vents the horse from slipping on greasy roads, and reduces the jar on the horse's legs When trottlutr on hard roads. Among the advantages claimed for the shoes is the fact that, being made of the best softened steel Instead of ordinary iron, they are lighter and more durable than the ordinary shoe; they can be fitted with ease to any description of foot without heating, and the groom can fix them If a smith is not at hahd; they can be" adjusted without nails, and cannot possibly injure the horse or in terfere with the natural growth of the hoof.
