Philadelphia, Sept 26. A. crowd of
nearly 5,000 people filled the immense
Aoidemy of Music here, to-night, from the
floor to the highest gallery, while others
occupied every seat upon the vast stage,
stood iu the flies, pushed un the aisles and
thronged vainly at outside the doors to hear
Colonel A. K. McClure's reply to Governor
McKinley. of Ohio, on the tariff question.
Much interest had been excited in the
ranks of both parties by Colonel McClure's
challenge to the author of the tariff law to
a joint debate, and the subsequent refusal
of the Republican Xational Committee to
allow Governor McKinley to enter snch a
contest was a disappointment to tbe Demo
cratic editor's numerous friends. "When It
was announced, however, that Colonel Mc
Clure had accepted the invitation of the
Tariff Keform League to reply to the tariff
champion's recent speech in this city the
enthusiasm was great and a large audience
was the result.
Cleveland There In a rrame.
There was almost a total absence of deco
rations on tbe stage, which was occupied by
a large delegation of prominent citizens,
but prominently in front stood a large
crayon portrait of Grover Cleveland, draped
with an American nag, while overhead
hung a large tin plate, inscribed: "Ameri
can tin, made at Norristown, Pa. Imported
tin, imported iron, imported labor, imported
capital."
i Colonel McClure's entrance was the sig
nal lor a shout of applanse that shook the
house. Far up near the painted ceiling
workingmen in tbeir shirtsleeves arose,
cheering and waving their hats. After the
applause subsided a preliminary speech
was made by Dwight M. Lowrey, chairman
oi the Executive Committee of the League,
who referred to Governor McKinley as
"That most distinguished statesman among
the modern Levites oi the superstition that
public taxes make public wealth."
Mr. Lowrey was loudly applauded when
he referred to tariff monopolists as "clad in
Scotch wool and English linen, and drink
ing German beer and French wine."
Heartier applause followed when he intro
duced as the chairman of the evening a
"manufacturer and member of the Manu
facturers Club but a Democrat William
M. Ayres." The latter, with but a few
wordsintroduced the orator of the evening,
Colonel McClure, who was again the recip
ient of long-continued applause.
He Jumps on McKInlfys Bill.
McClure said: "In response to the invi
tation of the TanfTEeform Club of this citr
I appear to-night to answer the recent ad
dress by Governor McKinley, in which
he attempted the impossible task
sf justiiyiug the McKinley tariff law.
Ilenry Clay protected labor when our
manufacturing industries were in their
inlaucy. McKinley protects capital when
indus'tries are fully established, breeds
monopoly and trusts, limits our market, op
presses labor by lessening employment and
increased taxes on the necessaries of life,
and his most conspicuous products are
rapidly multiplying millionaires and
tramps.
"There were good reasons why Mr. Mc
Kinley conld not be permitted to open the
pandora box of- tariff taxes in Philadelphia;
and before the members of the Manufac
turers' Club. They hadcontracted by pur
chase for increased taxes upon the people,
and McKinley, as Chairman of "Ways and
Means, was made the auditor to apportion
the tariff tax raiment of the people among
its purchasers.
As to the Tariff of 1846.
"The tariff of 1846 is given by Governor
McKinley as the last of our free trade tariff
laws. It was a revenue tariff with inci
dental protection as was Clay's tariff of
1842, differing only in the lower stand
ard of tariff taxes. If the tariff of
1S1G was free trade, what was the
first tariff passed by a Republican
House when it greatly reduced tue tariff
taxes of that time. In this contest there is
one man uhose definition of a revenue
tariff is entitledto greater respect than that
ol any other citizen or official. I refer to
Grover Cleveland. He is a man of con
viction, a man of courage, a man of truth,
aud he is the one man who, as next Presi
dent (prolonged cheers), is more than
likelv to shape the new revenue tariff
standard to which the country is now
certain to return.
"There is no free trade issue involved in
this contest; there is no free trade candi
date; there is no free trade party, and I do
not wish to transcend the lines of courtesy
in this discussion when I say thnt Governor
McKinley knows that what I declare is the
truth."
The Alleged Oppression or the BI1L
'The McKinley tariff," he continued,
"was oppressive .because it taxed many
necessaries of life. In 1S73 Congressman
Schultze, of ITew Jersey, a Republican,
said unless the leather industry were
giving hides, it would die. Hides were
tree and as a result the American shoes
were the best and cheapest in
the world. The tax on lumber was useless
because it did not protect labor. Free
iron ore was necessary because Pennsyl
vania ores were valueless without it. To
restrict it would be to diminish the con
sumption of domestic ore.
"And why should coal not be free?" he
asked. "Canada imposes a reciprocity tax
on coal equal to ours, and it would be made
free there any time it is made free here. If
we had open doors to the Canadian markets
we would sell 3,000,000 tons of our coal
there.
"Let us see what Governor McKinley
has done for the farmer by his tariff. He
has increased the tariff taxes in the
name of protection on nearly all the
products of the farmer. The McKinley
tariff is a bald fraud in its pretense ot pro
tection to the farmer, and that fraud is used
to deceive the farmer into submission to
enormous taxes on everything he buys for
himself and his family."
The Colonel continued in the same strain
for over two hours.
The City's Good Condition.
City Physician McCandless yesterday
summed up the number of deaths in the
city for the past week and found that there
were 105. Tnis is the lowest number of
deaths for three weeks and ii less than gen
eral at this time of year, all of which shows
the city to be in excellent condition, eo far
as sickness nnd death are concerned.
That Solon Embezzlement,
The auditing experts at present working
on tlie accounts of the Order of Solon were
not ready to report to the Supreme Lodge
yestcnlaV. The meeting which was to have
been held was consequently postponed. The
vgrder w ill hold a convention on Qc tober 25.

erected on it
COALMEN SUE C0TJKCILMEH.
They Object to Being Charged With Sell
ing Short Tons of the Black Diamonds.
Braddock, Pa., Sept 26. Special. A
suit that will interest coal men in general
in this vicinity was entered to-day. J. B.
Corey, the coal operator, has brought suit'
against Councilman Daniel Oskins for
alleged defamation of character. On Sep
tember 13 there appeared in the Braddock
Dady Xeus a statement to the effect that
Corey was making a practice of taking
2,240 pounds of coal from his men before he
would credit them with a ton for mining,
while he sold the same coal to the consumer
at 2,000 pounds for a ton.
This statement was made over Oskins'
signature. Corey publicly challenged Oskins
to prove the statement, but the latter made
no reply. It is alleged that Corey repre
sents others as well as himself in opening
this legal fight to induce Oskins to be a
little more conservative in 'his published
comments on men and things in this
section.
Methodist Ministers Sleet
At the regular Methodist ministers' meet
ing yesterday the question, "Should a man
who has once been a Presiding Elder be ap

time. The discussion of both subjects was
not concluded, but will form an interesting
portion of next Monday's meeting.
The Situation the Same at the Elba.
The strikers at the Elba Iron Works
bad no news to give out yesterday. They
said the situation remained about the same.
Manager Everson stated that every day

on one tnrn to-day and our pipe mill is
going."

A LONDON MYSTERY.
The Sadden Death of a Toang Actress
Puzzles the Big City Her Lover Kills
Himself and Adds to the Difficulty In
Unraveling the Strange Affair.
London, Sept 26. The suicide or mur
der of an actress named Buby Bussell and
the suicide of Yoodburn Heron, an army
surgeon with whom she was living, has
created considerable excitement here. Dr.
Heron was recently ordered to Gambia, and
be took the girl with him. They returned
to London September 3. On Tuesday last
Miss Sharp was suddenly taken sick when
she was alone with Dr. Heron. A physician
was summoned, but she died. An inquest
was held on Saturday, at which Dr. Heron
testified that he and Miss Sharp had bad a
"tin" Tuesday afternoon and that she had
threatened to kill herself. He thought she
might have taken poison. Dr. Heron also
testified that he was a widower, adding that
his wife had died in Jamaica in 189L He
admitted that an inquest had been held on
tbe body of his wife.
On Saturday Dr. Heron took a room in
Craven street, Strand. Yesterday he did
not, appear, and, as the door of the room
was locked, a policeman was summoned to
break it open. Inside the room Dr. Heron
was found lying in a pool of blood, with a
terrible gash in his throat He had taken a
quantltv of poison sufficient to kill himself.
Blood marks in the room show that Dr. He
ron first cut his throat while standing in
front of a mirror.
j The landlady of the, house in which the
couple lived testified that when she entered
the room she saw Dr.. Heron taking a glass
of what appeared to be lemonade in the
bedroom. The Coroner was evidently sus
picious that murder had been committed.
Miss Sharp, who was 20 years of age, was
the daughter of a publican. Her parents
uau uuv .ecu ucr iu a year, one ana ur.
Heron took rooms in Lillie road, West Ken
sington, ou September 9. The landlady
says that they were a most devoted
couple.
MTJIIBOTJS LIFE GTJABDS.
They. Hiss an Officer, Cat Up Saddles and
Behave In a Boisterous Manner.
London, , Sept 2a Yesterday a non
commissioned officer of "C" Squadron
found all the sad-lies belonging to the Lite
Guard at Windsor so badly cut that they
were completely ruined. The men were
ordered into their barracks and were there
confined. Here they became uproarious,
disturbing tbe whole neighborhood. They
sang ' 'Britons Never Shall Be Slaves,"
popular music hall songs and the national
anthrm. The affair created much excite
ment in Windsor. '
The authorities at Windsor declare that
the reports of a mutiny among the Life
Guards are greatly exaggerated. They ad
mit, however, that the saddles of C. Squad
ron were cut A parade of the troops was
held to-day as usual. The only scene was
when Captain Bawson entered the barracks
square in a cab. Then the whole regiment
lined the balconies looking on the square
and received him with loud hooting and
hissing. Profuse abuse was heaped on
him.
COTTON SPINHEE8 MAY STBIEE.
They Refuse to Accept a Reduction of Five
Per Cent of Their Wages.
London, Sept 2a At a recent meeting
of the Executive Council of the Master Cot
ton Spinners' Federation in Manchester the
replies from firms representing over
18.000,000 spindles in favor of enforcing a 5
per cent reduction in wages were consid-
CTea. .A.cuiuiiin-reB cuiisisuug uj mo pres
ident of the Federation and the Chairman
of the local masters' associations, was ap
pointed to confer with the operatives' asso
ciation with a view to. getting the cotton
spinners to accept the proposed reduction.
Overtures were made with the result that
the operatives have declined to accept the
masters' proposal, ft is thought now that
an attempt will be made to force the reduc
tion. A general strike of cotton operatives
will probably be the outcome.
PILGKIKAGES POSTPONED.

Orders a Halt of the Worshipers.
ROME, Sept 2a The Pilgrimage Com
mittee of the Vatican has arranged for the
arrival of the first band of Jubilee pilgrims.
This band will comprise COO Alsatians under
the Bishop of Strasburg.
The Pope is extremely-solicitous regard
ing the crowding of the city that will follow
the starting of the pilgrimages from various

postponed until after November, when, it
is thought that the health of Europe will be
so improved that all danger of overcrowd
ing will be averted.

THE 3REAK WAS CHECKED.
The Amalgamated Association Has the
Homestead Striking Machinists Organ
izedThe Sixteenth Regiment to Bo
Paid-Non-Unlon Men Still Eating at the
Company's Expense.
The striking machinists of Homestead are
all organized now. A week ago a story was
circnlated that the machinists were getting
ready to go back to work. To put a stop to
this if. Morse, Secretary and Treas
urer of the International Machinists'
Union of America, was brought
on' to Homestead by Amalgamated men.
He came about four daysago and last Sat
urday organized 278 of the machinists. The
International Union is affiliated with tbe
American Federation,so is the Amalgamated
Association and so one cannot go back
to work until the other does.
The Sixteenth Begiment officers last
night sent its" payrolls to Harrisbure. They
cover a period of 46 da, sand call for 550,000.
This saves a good deal of trouble. The
men of the regiment were becoming very
dissatisfied. The men think thev should be
allowed to go home. Last night one of
their nnmber was sent to Harrisburg to
show the Governor that the troops were
not needed at Homestead under the present
circumstances. His name conld not be
learned.
The non-union men 'are still eating at the
town restaurants and the company is pay
ing for it The story that the company
would make the men pay for their own
meals is pronounced untrue bv the officials.
H. C Frick and Attorney Knox were at
Homestead .yesterday morning. They re
fused to make known their business.
Fred Shaflre, and not Lawrence Oeffner,
was the man arrested Saturday night for
disorderly conduct by the Deputy Sheriffs.
FOUGHT TO A FINISH, '
Trouble Between a Non-Union Mlllworker
and a Striker.
The strike at Carnegie's Thirty-third
utreet mill was the cause of an affray yester
day between Joseph Bradley, a non-union
man employed in the mill, and John O'Don
nell, one of the strikers.
Bradley was arrested a week ago on the
charge of disorderly conduct He was
flourishing a revolver, had a haudybilly in
his pocket, telling every person that he
worked in Carnegie's Third-third street
mill and that he would kill any striker who
dared to interfere with his goings and com
incs. When he was brought up before
Magistrate McKenna he renewed his threats
and was very insolent and was fined 25 and
costs.
Yesterday he went out of the mill for his
dinner and at Thirty-third street encoun
tered O'DonnelL Bradley aimed a furious
blow at O'Donnell's head. The latter
dodged aud in ,turn struck out from the
shoulder, striking Bradley in the face and
knocking him down. Bradley jumped to
his feet and was again knocked down, and
then O'Donneil went for him hammer and
tongs and was only stopped by Officer
Brennan placing him under arrest. Brad
ley went before Alderman Leslie and en
tered suit against him for assault and bat
tery. O'Donneil procured bail and was
released.

Deputy Sheriffs Make a Visit There hut
Delay Their Search.
Deputy Sheriffs Pat Farrell and O. P.
Mills were in Braddock yesterday in quest
of the Pinkertoni rifles captured by the
strikers in the battle of the barges.
The story of their errand got out and be
came so generally circnlated that it was de
cided to defer the search. It is believed
that most of the cuns have been secreted
somewhere in Braddock.
Burgess SIcLnckie Did Not Appear.

of John Cooper and IV. H., Burt, the two
Pinkerton men who were arrested last
week on information mads against them by

LfquQr at tho Black Diamond.
John B. Comstock was arrested last even
ing on an information made before Alder
men McKenna by Bryan Collins, charging
him with selling liquor without a license.

when tbe saloons close up, a crowd of
men congregate in the mill yard drinking,
and that they are so noisy they annoy
tbe whole neighborhood. Comstock 'was
unable to furnish bail.

THE NEWS OP TIIE C0U.NTY COURTS
A hill in equity was filed yesterday by
the EitUburg Tube Company for itself nnd
the Pine Bun Fuel Gas Company against
F. M. Hukill, George N. Chalfant, the Fi

A Charge of Collusion Made.
He issued an execution on tbe judgment,
and tbe company's property was sold by the
Sheriff to Hukill for 5190,000. Chalfant,
however, it is alleged, in violation
ot his duty and in collusion
with Hukill, would not enforce the
bid against Hukill. The property was
again exposed for sale in consequence and
Chalfant bought it in for ?500. Chalfant, it
is alleged, held the title upon the same
trust as accepted by him in respect to the
judgment, but notwithstanding,he conVeved
in fee simple the entire property to Hukill
without any consideration, except, perhaps,
tbe payment of the $500.
The plaintiffs understood from Chalfant,
it is asserted, that the transfer was on the
understanding that Hukill wonld satisfy all
tbe Indebtedness ot tbe company. The
plaintiffs were not a party to this sale, and
Hukill has never paid them.
A Change of Name.
Hukill, it is stated, has since reorganized
the company under the name of the West
Penn Gas Company. In May, 1891, he gave
to the Fidelity Title and Trust Company a
mortgage on the property to secure pay
ment ot thirty bonds of $5,000 each bearing
6 per cent interest, 'issued by him. These
bonds, it was claimed, were to be given to
the creditors of the Pine Bun Gas Company
for their claims.
The plaintiffs would not accept these
bonds and now say they want to rely on
their lien rights. They assert that the
West Penn Gas Company is in reality the
Pine Bun Gas Company and that. Hukill is
receiving and wasting tbe income from it.
They want ai receiver appointed; an ac
counting taken; the West Penn Company
enjoined from taking any ot the assets of
the Pine Bun Gas Company, and the sale
from Chalfant to Hukill set aside and their
claim settled.

IMPB0VIBG WILKINSBITBa.
Work Commeiteil on a Complete Sewer
System for the Borough.
The big main sewer now being built in
Wilkinsburg is employing 100 men. For
two years the people of the borough have
been thinking and talking about this sewer.
Wilkinsburg has never had a sewer sys
tem, and the importance of tbe work to the
residents of that place can be understood at
once. The sewer is to cover the whole
borough, and will have its outlet at the
Mnnongahela river. The total cost will bo
S140.000. Work commenced on It last week.
and it U tbe intention1 to have it finished'in
1893. There will not be very much done
this winter, there being a scarcity of mate
rial as well as meu, but several streets are
torn up. aud the contractors are doing all
they can to push the work.
What with the sewer operatious and the
laying of two street railway lines, Wilkins
burgis pretty well torn up. The people
do not like the work, b.it they are willing
to suffer some inconvenience "now for fhe
sake of tho advantages in future.
