THE PITTSBURG- DISPATGH. MONDAY. OCTOBER 3. 1892.
rr. Indeed, early in the trouble Hueh
O'Donnell in an interview explained now
"the men of the mill had been divided
juto three dUisions, ith 800
Huns under the command of -two
Interpreters in reserve. "We claim this was
on admission that they had set up their
own covermuent, and such conduct is trea
sonable. Subsequent events after the mili
tary arrived on the scene do not concern us.
Wanted a Letter From the Sheriff.
"The reason County Detective Beltz
ioover made the information is easily ex
plained. In the beginning District
Attorney Burleigh Baid if the Sheriff
Mould write him a letter stat
ing that riot and bloodshed had
occurred in Homestead he would take the
initiative in all the cases, and Mr. Beltz
lioover would have 111r.de all the informa
tions instead of Secretary Lovejoy. Sheriff
JlcCleary, however, declined to write the
.letter.
"I want to Eav it is a mistake, as re
ported, that a charge of treason will be
urouckt against the strikers in the Union
mills. I do not believe that Superintendent
Dillon made the statements accredited to
lilm. He is very close-mouthed, and sev
eral bogus interviews with him have been
published. A charge of treason could not
be sustained against these nieu, and I don't
think the company ever thought of it."
Attorney Brenneu was not in the city
yesterday. A visit was paid last evening
to liis usual haunts, but the lawyer lor the
jnen could not be found. He speut the day
in compauy with officials of the Amalga
mated Association skirmishing around
in search of bill for mem
bers of the Advisory Board.
It is not known what success he had. Peo
ple will admit that it is no small matter to
jret security tor I3 men in f 10,000 lor each
one that is preperty worth 830,000 would
liave to be pledged, and according to Ju.,
Kennedy's l ule that there must be a good
juarjin in all the cases, not less than from
5350,000 to 400,000 worth of real estate will
le needed. Some of the men are well
Sied and will be expected to
produce their own bail. Others haven't
much to go on, and it is understood the
Amalgamated Afst.( .atiou uiil help them
out.
V.aitinc Until They Get BalL
It is not kuo n how many of the accused
will apnear in court this morning, but it is
certain none of them now at large will oe
on hand unless they have the bail. Uo
arrebts were made yesterday, and appar
ently the office) s have given up the pur
suit. It is claimed this is a scheme to throw
tie men ou" tb-ir guard. The prosecution
Elates that William lioberts was in Pitts
burg Saturday night, and they were in
formed yesterday that he and McConegly
lad cleared out. The friends ot lioberts
laugh at this report, and tay he is lying
low until lie can secure "the necessary
amount of bail. Attorner John IT. Cos
put in the time in Homestead getting
together all the bondsmen he could find.
The nine men in the county jail charged
with treason take their imprisonment as
coolly as they have taken the other charges
against them growing out of the Homestead
riots. Hugh O'Dounell only laughs wheu
the Minject 13 mentioned, saying he is not
afraid of the resul. and he appears to feel
that his cause has been helped rather
t'isn injured by the new charge. The Home
stead men are all quiet about this matter
nut decline to tall;, a has been theircustom
ever since the first arrest was made. Yes
terday they took their places with the 200
other prisoners in the jail at the services in
the atternoon, listening to a short sermon
bv Itcv. Jlr. AVliitesides, of the Bethany
Slission, and some fine singing by Lliss
Airaie ilcCutchrou, of Allegheny.

never thought of persecution when they

SECRETED IN OTHER TOWNS.
Members of the Advisory Board Said to Be
In McKeesport and Braddock Ball
Ready for Some of the Men Cold
Weather Bough on the Soldiers.
C Another unsuccessful search was made at
Homestead yeste'rday for defendants in the
treason suits by the authorities. The
bouses of the missing strikers were watched,
as well as trains and thoroughfares, but
none of the wanted men showed up. It is
said that on Friday night, when the arrests
became noised through the borough, those
who were yet at large quietly left, and
went to friends at Braddock and McKees
port, where they are secreted.
Now that the first excitement is dying
out, the strikers have begun to believe that
the new charges will prove beneficial to
them in bringing the Homestead lockout
once more berore the public in the country,
which will rosult In additional financial
contributions from trades unions and othor
labor assemblies.
Friends of the Imprisoned leaders have
not been sleeping, but have been energet
ically hustling to secure ball, and sufficient
amounts aroreadyto secure tire release in tho

.u nomesieau mac wniio cue nail was piacea
at $10,000, it will require about $15,000 in each
case, and bondsmen are being secured with
this object in view. Tho strikers and locked
out men have braced up considerably under
tho excitement, and apparently there Is no
sign of weakening along tho line, from tho
tonnage men to yard laborers.
llev. John A. Hanks conduoted the usual
morning services in tho mill, and ill the
afternoon Rev. Jlr. Ilazclton, or Washing
ton, Pa., spoke to the colored non-unionists,
of w horn there are several hundred now cm
ployed. A coal and iron policeman was discharged
for fi;htins with a fellow officer In tho yard
on Saturday night. It Is claimed among the
strikers that over 100 non-unionists quit on
Saturday night who will not return in the
morning.
The cold weather is proving a little severe
on the tioops, as cana3 tents nre frail pro
tection and tho heavy night foss which now
swoop up tho hill from the i i or soak them
and even penetrate the blankets ol the men.
The soldiers are made as comfoi table as pos
sible, though, by Colonel Hillings and do not
complain. They now think they will not
leavo Homestead before winter.
S0UTHSIDE WATER.
The Question Exciting Some Comment on
That Side of the Elier tho reoplo
Afraid to Drink Monongahela Water
Some Change Soon Necessary.
The water question Is being discussed as
actively on the Southsideas Ip other parts
of tho city. All seem to feel the need of
some change in tho present system of water
w orks, but what that chango should be is
not fully comprehended by the people. Tho
Southside can hardly bo said to be allllcted
with a water famine, as there iB apparently
plentv of water, but it is of such a quality
as to be unfit for domestic purposes. One
tact Is evident, that there are many South
aiders who never drink the water supplied
by tho Slonougahola Water Company.
"We never hear complaints about water
until there is a Are," said Prothonotary
John Bradley last nhjht. "Just at present
there is a good supply, but of what quality
I wouldn't like to say. But when there is
any demand for water there is a great noise
about it. This is proof that some chamro
should be made. The question should bo
discussed, so that when a move Is made no
mistako could be made. The Indian creek
plan oecms to be a pood one, though. I havo
given the subject littlo thought We must
havo some cheme to supply tho citv with
waterand she would do well to stir herself
and get i eady in time."
V. J. McGarey said: "The wator system
of tiie Southside is in a terrible condition.
In fact, it is bad in both Pittsburg and Alle
gheny, yet I believe we are rather better off
than either of them. I haven't drank a
glass of Southside water for years nor
does any of my family. I know
a number of families that w ill not touch It,
It isa matter of uBhort time till some plan
must be adopted to remedy this. Wo set
our water from the 31onongahcla, and now
nave most to lear irom Homestead. Wc
Kecsport is too far away to do us much
damage, but tho river will soon bo lined
With one continuous town and then look
out. The Indian creek plan Is the best I
havo seen yet.'"
There is littlo complaint beins mado on
the Southside as to sickness. Many claim
they have fewer sick people than any part
of the city. Tho water supply has been
about equal to the demand tor some time,
but the people have been sparing in Its use.
A ceneral desire is expressed to havo the
water improved and that as soon as practic
able. COLLECIIKG SXHEET CAS FAKES.
How Different People Annoy Conductors in
Paylns for Their Hides.
"I don't like to have Hungarians for
passongers," said a street car conductor
last evening after he had received a handful
ot pennies for laio for a number of thorn
whohadjnst entered tho car. "Why? Be
cause they always havo their clothes full of
pennies and small change that Is a nui
sanco." "After many trips," ho continued, "I
havo more coppers than I can handle, as
many people will not take pennies for
change. Tho company don't ltko them
either, so I havo to get rid of them the best
lean. Now, coloicd people aro just the op
posite. A colored man may have plenty of
change, but if ho had a dollar in his pocket,
he is snre to get it changed. I havo learned
this so well that when a colored man wants
chanse, I usually return tho dollar, and ask
for the exact tare. It w orks like a charm
cverytime and I have no trouble."
AH0THEB ELECT3IC BOAIX
The Central Traction Commences to Operate
Its New System.
The Central Traction Company yesterday
began to run the trolley cars of tho Center
avenue branch downtown. Such a step has
been contemplated ever since tho electric
system was put into effect, but for some
reason it was delayed until yesterday. Tho
trolley cars are run down to tho power house
on Wylie avenue, wlioro they are coupled
to the cable cars and make tho balance of
the trio as trailers. On the leturn trip tho
trolley is cut loose from tho cable car at
Grant street and Webster avenue, com
pleting the circuit alone by electric power.
The tirst day with the now system proved
very satisfactory, the electric cars climbing
the steep Wylie a venne hill in good time.
In response to a general demand trom peo

Jug to run all-nigh tears by their new elcctrio
system. The niaht curs will run every half

A TEXT FOE THE TEETOTALERS.
The First Tear of Warden McAleese's Man
agement inds To-Day.
THE BEST KEPT PRISON IN THE COUNTRY
To-day closes the first year of John Mc
Aleese's administration as warden ot the
county jail. It has been a successful year
for him. Never before was the manage
ment of the prison the subject of so much
complimentary criticism from the court aud
the officers who compose the prison board.
The institution itself has been frequently
commented upon for its remarkable clean
liness and freedom from objectionable
features always connected with prisons or
other buildings in which many people live
and sleep
During the past few months several men,
whose business it is to visit the prisons of
the country, have declared the Allegheny
county jail the cleanest and best arranged
in the United States, excepting only that
at Albany, N. Y., which is no better.
Of the more than 10,000 prisoners handled
by the warden in the past year, none have
escaped and only two have died. One of
the deaths was a prisoner who was sent to
the jail dying from consumption and ex
pired a few hours after, notwithstanding
extraordinary efforts to prolong life. The
other was a suicide who took his own life in
a fit of despondency immediately after be
ing placed in a cell and before his intention
was suspected.
A Free Inebriate Asylum.
The warden attributes the remarkably
low death rate to the care exercised in the
handling of prisoners. According to a re
port submitted to the Prison Board last
Saturday by Jail Physician Chessrown,
more cases of habitual drunkenness and
alcoholism are treated in the Allegheny
county jail than in all the inebriate asylums
and special institutions for the treatment
of such coses in the United States. During
the quarter ended September 30, the total of
alcohol cases treated was 310. This was the
lowest record for any quarter in the year.
Comparatively few of such cases were
serious enough to be sent to the hospital,
but they were treated in their cells and
cured up as well as the time they were de
tained would permit.
Kine-tenths of the prisoners taken to the
county jail are suffering from the effects of
drink when they go in. Many of them are
in a frightful physical condition. Men and
women, arrested during or just after pro
tracted debauchcs,are frequently sent to jail
b;f the police magistrates to get them away
from the temptation and to give them a
chance to "sober up."
Prompt Medical Relief Furnished.
Often the unfortunate prisoners are in a
collapsed condition from exposure, and
should properly be scut to the hospital
gather than the jail, because without imme
diate and skillful treatment they would die
in less than 24 hours. All the employes
know this, and as soon as a man enters the
prison, if he shows any evidence of dissipa
tion, he is placed under treatment, the
vigor of which varies according to his con
dition. It is common for a prisoner to get
a dose of medicine and a warm bath before
he eves reaches his cell In severe cases,
where the man is suffering from delirium
tremens and exposure, such cases being fre
quent, a system of treatment is followed
which has always proved efficacious. When
the case is too serious for the jail employes,
Dr. Chessrown iB summoned.
Under the course of treatment now in
vogue many lives have been saved. The
use of the padded cell has been almost en
tirely dispensed with, an apparatus devised
by the Warden being used instead, which
is far more humane in the treatment and
superior in results.
Discovered a New Disease.
In the report of Dr. Chessrown there ap
pears in the list of cases treated during the
past three months, 110 cases of worry.
When a prisoner is brought in in good
health physically, but apparently much
worried over his crime or his imprisonment,
he is placed under a system of treatment
just the same as if suffering from a disease.
Worry, the ' doctor, says, is as serious often
as any disease he has to handle. Some
times prisoners will sit in their cells for
days and nights, refusing to eat, drink or
Bleep, simply worrying. If allowed to con
tinue so they might become insane, commit
suicide or contract a disease of some other
kind, their system at such a time being
particularly lfable to disease.
Medicines and tonics are given in such
cases to induce an appetite, but the best
effort is secured by what the Warden calls
"jollying them along." He talks to them,
cheers them up and finally causes them to
forget their troubles after which their cure
is easy.
22KD TO KICK IN THE D00E.
West End Boys Blako an Effort to Brealc
Into a Pole's IIooso.
Quite a commotion was caused in tho West
End yesterday afternoon by a fight at tho
hold of Steuben street. A Pole, who lives
there, had left his home to go to the Pittsburg
sldoof the river, leaving his Wife and chil
dren nt home. In his absence a crowd of
boys went to tho house aud began throwing
stones aud trying to kick in one of tho
doors. One ot the children ran out of a Side
door and rushed down to the police station.
Sergeant JlcCurry and an officer went up,
but all the boys escaped before any arrests
w ore made. Several of the party are known
and are expected to be arrested to-day. No
cause Is given for tho attack on tho house.
Keeping Ahead of Their Orders.
For the past two or three weeks the Edgar
Thomson Steel Works, at Braddock, have
only been operated five days and a half in
tho week, shutting down on Saturday morn
ing and resuming operations on Sunday
nigbt The management gives as a reason
that, whilo the -mills have plenty of orders
on hund, they are running ahead of them.
This system or shutting down also enables
them to make repairs on Saturday, Instead
ot on Sunday, as heretofore, when they were
obliged to pay mechanics and laboiers for
extra time.
Going After Mrs. Marsh.
Detectives Coulson and Boblnson left for
Now York City last night to bring Mrs. Jen
nie Marsh and James Mcintosh to this city
In connection with the Gamble Wetrcase.
The papers for their requisition were sent
to Albany last Friday aud to be forwarded
lrom there to Superintendent of Police Will
lams, of New Yonr, w ho will turn them over
to the Pittsburg officers when they arrive:
It is expected tho two defendants will arrive
here by Tuesday.

THE PROBE TO BE USED
In
Investigating the Causes Leading to
Grace Brown's Crime Coroner Mc
Dowell's Experience With Infanticide
Cases A Lawyer Who Will Volunteer to
Defend the Girl.
Some interesting development! may be
looked for when the trial of Grace Brown ia
taken up In the courts. Miss Brown is the
young girl from 'Bissell station who was
arrested last Friday, charged with murder
ing her new-born offspring and burying it in
a grave of quick lime under the family
residence. The case has attracted unusual
attention among the people In the vicinity
ot McKeesport and among the Balti
more and Ohio employes, not alone
because of the beauty of the girl, but be
cause both she and Oliver Meredith, who is
coucemod in the case, are so well and favor
ably known. Meredith, it is said, was edu
cated tor tno ministry, nas always oorno a
reputation for exceptionally correct behav
ior and his fellow employes declare be Is not
guilty of the orimo charged against him In
this case. Another railroad brakeman, who
died several montns,ago, is anesea oy mem
to have been the oiiginal cause of the
trouble.
Coroner McDowell, In speaking .of this
case yesterday, said it was remarkable the
number of infanticide cases he had invest!
cated in tho vicinity of McKeesport The
first case he had after he became Coroner
was at West Klizabeth. A babe with a rope
around its neck attached to a big stono was
found in the river, but it was not until a
year later when an exactly similar case
was found near the same place,
that both crimes were traced to tho
inotber, Agnes Wilson. During the
past ten days there have been lour infanti
cide cases. Threo of these have been lo
cated in the samo section up the Mononga
hela. One was the case of Mary Anderson,
residing near Elizabeth, a pretty littlo
Scotch "girl who Is now in Jail. Another was
tho infant found In the river above Du
quesno, the mother of which has not been
apprehended. The third was that of Grace
Brown, the 16-year-old school clrl who, with
her alleged lover, is now waiting for trial.
He is not connected with the death of the
child, but there aro serious charges against
him.
"The case or Grace Brown," said the Cor
oner, "is a sad one, but her position Is one to
which hundreds of young girls within a few
miles of Pitcahunr aie exposed oveiy day.
Evory young girl who rides on the railroad

WILL AFFECT THE VOTE.
A Philadelphia Democrat's Opinion of the
Baker Ballot Law.
Hon. Richard Vaux, ex-Mayor of Philadel
phia, has been in town for the past two days
In connection with tho grand annual visita
tion of the Grand Masonic Lodgo of this
State, of which he is Past Grand Master.
The ex-Mayor is a veteran Democrat and
made a strong fight against the force bill
during the closing days of the Fifty-first
Congress.
Chatting on politics Mr. Vaux said to a
Dispatch i eporter, that the Baker ballot law
wan puzzling quite a number of people at
the picseut time. lie felt quite sure that
both parties would lose a considerable num
ber of votes through mistakes In balloting.
The State vote wnuld be much smaller than
at tho last Prestdental election, but how
much no one could attempt to surmise.
"The establishment of such a law," con
tinued Mr. Vaux, "is a novelty to the peo
ple. The changing of any system of long
standing to a new and more Intiieato one id
always accompanied by complication and
contention. It will be so in this case with
out doubt. The niotliod to be used in vot
ing now is unquestionably vary complicated
and is bound to raise contusion.
"Of course the courts havo not yet had
anychanco todecido u case In this connec
tion and the public aro in ignorancoof tho
system's meaning. Tholormot the ballot
Is very intricate and would require consider
able explanation to certain classes of voters.
Sobools are now being started for the pur
pose of instruction and will likely do a gt eat
deal of good. A great deal will depend ou
the election officers and the way they treat
mistakes in voting."

COLDEST THIS FALL
The First Touch of a Cold Winter
' Ushered in Yesterday
WITH FROST ON THE HOUSETOPS.
Overcoats Are Bronsht From Their Summer
Biding Places.
WARMER WEATHEB PROMISED TO-DAT
Yesterday was the coldest day so far this
fall. 'Day broke with evidences of Jack
Frost's work sticking on the fences and
housetops. The thermometer had dropped
down to 40 degrees during the night, and
the hottest rays of Old Bol could not
get it higher than 63 all day.
The morning's frost was not
what the weather experts call a "killing"
one, but Is considered by them as a very
beneficial thing to the farmers. It will
make tho grapes more ripe and give the
apples a rosier hue.
October is always the turning month, but
as a usual thing the turn is not made with
quite bo much frigidness attached as was
displayed yesterday. The coldest day ever
known in October was in 1887. The tern
peratnre then took a tumble to 20 degrees.
The coldest weather in October comes
usually between the fifteenth and twentieth.
When tho Killing Frosts Come.
During that period the weather man's
"killing" frosts appear. There'is one nice
thing about this cold snap it will not last
long. According to Mr. Stewart, of the
Weather Department, to-day is to be much
warmer than yesterday. From th.is on until
winter comos in earnest, the weather is to bo
of a varied nature, cold one day and warm
the next.
Last night was a trifle cooler than was
Saturday evening, and early risers to-day
will no doubt see a fair sprinkling of white
adorning their back fences.
Everybody, who Is the least hit sensi
tive to cold, was shivering yesterday.
Tho old question. "Is it cold
enough for yout" which has been
off on a five-months' vacation, was ushered
out yesterday and put into very active use.
Fires weio lighted where they have not
burned since May and tho moth balls werp
shaken out of many an oveicoat. Pedes
trians sought the sunny side of tho streets
and tho loafers gathered where Sol's rays
shined the warmest. Music cortainly must
have charms, for despite all the freezing
evidences, 1,600 people shivered out i
Schenley Park for an hour yesterday after
noon listening to the last of the sacred con
certs. The Evening Spent in Shivering.
When tho sun sank in the west last night
a fiesh and more rugged supply of shivers
was passed around. The streets presented
a different appearancs from that of the
usual Sunday evening. Nearly everyone
was in a hurry and those who had to stop on
street corners waiting for cars, put In the
timeshruguing their shoulders. It is safe
to say that every peison who owned
an overcoat was wearing ft. Those who do
not own overcoats, or at least possess the
right to wear them, were easily picked out.
In front of more than one shop, where tho
three golden-hued balls dangle, were groups
ot men who had put their monoy on the
wrong horso at Homewood, or had read with
dissatisfaction of Corbctt's victory, looking
longingly through the windows at a display
of half-worn top coats.
Tho boll which ranc September 1, calling
in the straw hats of '92, could hardly have
clanged loud enough. Last night, on
crowded Fifth avonuo, there were two indi
viduals who still clung to their headgear ot
a summer's day. Ono man must have evi
dently been ashamed of his for it was
painted black. The other wearer was a
tourist who was held in quarantine for 20
days and had not heard -the clanging of
fashion's bell.
A HAED HUE TO LITE.
Alleghenlans Suffer From Both Hot and
Cold Weather Diseases.
The mortuary report of Allegheny for the
week ended Saturday shows tho total num
ber of deaths to havo been 43, an increase
over the preceding week of 0. Six died of
cholera Infantum, 4 of consumption, S of
typhoid fever, 2 of scarlet fover, of maras
mus, 5 of pneumonia and 3 violent deaths.
City Physician Huzzard says the cause of
increase in the death rate is due to tho fact
that this is the time when the hot and cold
weather diseases nio togother. Typhoid
lever he says is a warm weather disease and
pneumonia a cold weather disease. Tho
deaths from typhoid fever were confined to
no particular section of tho city.
SHOT HER B7 ACCIDENT.
Comle Collins Pnts a Bullet Through His
Sister's Jaw and Is Arrested.
Lieutenant of Pollco Gallant nrrc3tcd 15-yeni-old

tel last night, whore he is a bellboy. He shot
his lS-year-old sister by accident yesterday,
but the police aro investigating the ciicum

morning at his home, It Logan street, play

aud the ball hit his sister, who was in the
room, in tho jaw. The family wero veiy
much frightened and a doctor wa9 sent for,
and ho oxtracted the bullet from behind the

WANTED BLAINE N0HIN&TED.
An Indiana Republican Takes a Dark View
of tho Prospect
B. W. McDonald, President of tho Fort
Wayno Electrio Light Company, was a Re
publican until now. So ho said last evening
to a Dispatch reporter while the limited
westbound was laying at tho Union station.
He said ho was very much disappointed at
the fact that Blame was not nominated. He
didn't think that Harrison would be elected,
and thought that he would lose Indiana by
20,000 votes. The Bchlon-IIiscock fizht in
Syracuse he considered would lose the Re
publican party quite a number of votes.
Identified tho Dead Prisoner.
The prisoner who died at Central polico
station on Saturday was identified yester
day as Joseph Sullivan, who was a pipo lino
laborer. Several policemen and others rec
ognized him at tho morgue and said they
had known him for a year or two, and that
he was always a sufferer from consumption.

OREGON'S CR0NIN SUSPECT.
He
Seems Nervous Over the Accusation,
but Prison Officials Are Skeptical.
Salem, Oke., Oct. 2. The dispatch last
night from Chicago, that Thomas Coleman,
now confined In the ponitentiary here, is
supposed to have been connected with the
murder of Dr. Cronin, was news to tho
prison officials, who state that they have
had no communication with Chicago
officials about the matter. They
claim to have heard a rumor that Coleman
was connected with the crime, but put no
faith in the story. Coleman was sent here
from Portland in March, 189!, to serve two
years for assault with a dangerous weapon.
He has been a "trusty" up to two months
ago, when a bench warrant for his arrest
came from Portland, where be is wanted to
answer a charge of robbery with assault.
Coleman is smooth and has the appear
ance of being an all-around crook. When he
heard of the dispatch this morning, con
necting him with Dr. Cronln's murder, 'ho
said he would have no trouble In clearing
himself of the charge. He formerly lived In
Chicago, where he now lias a brutbor and
three sisters living. He seemed nervous
when speaking about Chicago, and when he
was permitted to read tho Chicago dispatch
his hand quivered and tears came to his
eyes. Tu o mouths ago, when Coleman had
his trustyship taken away, he asked the
reason, and said that he presumed it was on
account of "that Cronin matter."
A SUDDEN DEATH.

FOflGHT IN A LODGE.
.Brother Fineberg Ia Thrown 0nt by
the Sons of Benjamin.
HE THREATENS TO ENTER SUITS
Against Ills Assailants for Conspiracy and
Assault.
CHARGED WITH BEING A TEESPASSEE
There wai a lively time at a Hebrew
lodge meeting on Market street last night.
Jacob Fineberg, member of Horning Star
Lodge, Sons of Benjamin, took possession
of the lodge room before the other members
arrived and as they declared him nota mem
ber they ordered him out. Fineberg de
clared himself a member and refused to
leave. A meeting could not be held while
Fineberg was present and the police were
appealed to. When an officer went to the
place he found Fineberg the qnietest man
there and decided not to make any arrests.
Subsequently a committee of the lodge
members throw Fineberg out bodily. , He de
clares they assaulted him with their fists at
the same timo ana says he will to-day bring
suit against the lodge for conspiracy and
against the'persons who put him out for as
sault. The trouble dates back to la May and is
the result of Finebarg'a delinquency in
lodeo dues. The organization is a beneficial
one. Flnebers claims he paid his dues and
was in good standing until about ten weeks
ago when he wns taken sick Tor three weeks
during which his dues lapsed. But he claims
the laws of the orer compel the lodge to
keep a sick member's dnea paid up until he
recovers. Fineberg also claims that an effort
was made to sell or transfer him to another
lodge which he resisted, saying he would
havo remained in ltussia if he knew he was
to be sold here.
A few weeks ago Fineberg went to the
lodgo and was refused admittance. The next
meeting night be got there before the other
members who adjourned without a session
because of his being there. At the next
meeting he did the tame thing. The chair
man of the lodge ordered a committee to
throw him out, but only one man would
serve and a fine of $1 each was imposed on
tho others. Last night the members were a
little more resolute and carried the order
into execution. They elalm Fineberg is no
longer a member, that he was a trespasser
and that they had a light to eject him.

This Week
The Great Gala Week
We have been opening up new fall nj
goods since the middle of August,
but now we are glad to say the
grand total of this wonderful collec
tion of everything new, novel and
desirable pertaining to the outfitting
of ladies and children stands forth a
complete whole in these big retail
stores.
The Richest Silks.
The Most Novel Dress
Goods.
Gleaming Velvets.
In these three departments alone
there is a variety of color and weave
that bewilders while' it delights the
admiring eye.
It is well enough to mention the
fact just here that this will be a vel
vet season as regards fall and winter
costumes; so here you will find every
thing new, lovely and desirable in
velvets
OUR MILLINERY DEPART
MENT invites every woman and all
the patrons of our store in particular
to call and see the
Opening Display
Of Autumn and Winter Styles in
Millinery.
To make it easy for everyone in
terested to attend this important oc
casion, it will include the entire week,
commencing this morning, during
which time there will be on exhibi
tion in addition to the great display
of imported Bonnets and Hats, as
well as those made in our own work
room, an enormous collection of UN
TRIMMED MILLINERY in Hats,
Bonnets, Toques, together with the
richest and newest styles in Feathers,
Flowers, Braids, Ornaments and
everything that goes to make up
dainty feminine headgear.
The CHILDREN are not forgotten,
and everything that is new and novel
in Hats and Caps, in trimmed and
untrimmed, including the popular
Tam O'Shanters, will be found in
abundance, and all at
Most Reasonable Prices.
As usual
Our important departments, such
as UNDERWEAR AND HOSIERY,
will be found in the best condition to
serve the wants of the coming cold
weather. We have, of course, as we
always have, the fine to superfine
goods which we have kept for years,
but at the same time the lower and
medium grades in reliable makes are
there in complete assortment and at
prices that will increase the already
large trade of these stocks.
Four Big Gases '
Containing one of our fall importations
of SCOTCH TABLE DAMASKS
are now on sale. These goods, so
popular with housekeepers on account
of their wearing and washing quali
ties, come in Table Damasks by the
yard and in separate cloths with
napkins to match, and iu qualities
that make them suitable for use for
every day and special occasions.
The GloaK Room
AND
Suit Department
Is thoroughly stocked with Wraps,
Jackets, Capes, Ulsters, Suits, Tea
Gowns and Wrappers in the latest
styles. Special care has been taken
in the selection of every garment,
both as regards the material, shape
and finish, and customers here can
rely implicitly that all goods are just
as represented. We don't care to
quote prices; it's enough to say that
quality considered we cannot be un
dersold. OUR UPHOLSTERING AND
DECORATING DEPARTMENT
cannot take any orders for delivery
inside of two weeks, owing to the
quantity of work now on hand.
For the benefit of those who don't

makes and on short notice.
