TEE PLANS AEE KEAELI ALL AEEANGED
Arrangements for the Columbus celebra
tiou are fast being made. The plans are
about all arranged, and note there is nothing
to do but work up the details. It every
thing is favorable it will be the largest
demonstration ever held in Pittsburg.
Every part of the county will be repre
sented, and man, woman and child, without
regard to nationality, creed or color, will
pay homage to America's discoverer.
Yesterday afternoon the General Commit
tee met at City Hall. There was a misun
derstanding about the time of meeting and
the attendance was small, but those present
transacted considerable business. It was
decided that it would take 51,500
to rightly celebrate the occasion. Up to
date there there has only been J400 col
lected. One of the principal things done
was to arrange for the soliciting of aid.
Tiiis will be commenced at once. Chair
man McDowell, of the Finance Committee,
thinks there will be no tronble in getting
the desired funds. The Finance Commit
tee wiil meet to-morrow and di
vide ( the territory into districts,
to that the collections can be made sys
tematically. Jlr. O'Donnell, of the Finance
Committee, reported an increased interest
in the affair by business men. He had col
lected, in addition to what he had
previously reported, 100 irom the Iron
City Brewing Company, ?25 from S. S.
Slaroni, 10 from the Grocers' Snpply Com
pany, 20 from T. D. Casey, 5 from Philip
Hoerr, 10 from Harris' Theater and 25
from Fred Gwinner. If any money is left
over alter the expenses of the celebration
are paid, it will be given to the hospitals of
the two cities.
Arranging for the Music.
The committee arranged for an orchestra
of 23 pieces to be selected from the best
talent of the cities for the entertainment on
the night of October 21. Major Denniston
said, in regard to a controversy about the
engaging of bands, that there would be but
four bands employed for the par
rade. Tiiree of the number have al
ready been hired and it is not
yet decided whether the fourth will be
reeded. The proposition to hire 10 cr
r:a;es for the Judges of Allegheny county
ar.d the Justices cftlie Supreme Court was
made. It was held open for further consid
eration. Mr. Meitershausen submitted a
very neat bidgc that his sub-committee had
agreed en as the proper souvenir. It is a
niedaiion suspended lrom the United States
shield ot stars and stripes. The face dis
plays a bust of Columbus in bas-relief
wearing a crown of laurel, his name and
ii'J'2 encircling the rim. On the
reverse'is ghonn the middle group "of the
well-known picture of the discovery, and
encircling the rim is the incription "400
Anniversary of the Discovery of America,
October 12, 18D2." The committee adopted
it as the official badge.
I"oreisn nags Not Barred.
A false idea has gotten out concerning the
fags which are to be carried in the parade.
Many people think that none but the
American stars and stripes will be
allowed. This is a mistake. Every
country on the face of the globe will be at
liberty to display the colors in the parade.
P.anners of a nolitic.il or advertising nature
will be baned. This does not prevent trades
displays, but just what will be done by the
merchants in this line is not known yeU The
full committee will meet Friday afternoon
at 4 o'clock in City Hall.
The celebration of Columbus' great
achievement will cover two days. It will
be started ofi bv the school children of
Pittsburg and Allegheny on Thursday, Oc
tober 20. It was first intended to have
everything take place oa one day, but it
was boon found that there would be too
much soins on to do that. Last night the"
Central Board of Education decided to hold
the school children's exercises on Thurs
day. Grove to be Dedicated.
The public schools will not be the only
one represented, but all pupils of all
parochial and private institutions as well.
The morning of the day will be devoted to
patriotic exercises in the dilierent schools,
at which the veterans will be in attend
ance. The afternoon will be spent in
Schenley Park. The thousands of little
tchool " children of the two cities
will gather there and dedicate
Columbus grove. With touching services
li border nf trees will be planted around the
grove. On each returning Columbus Day
the memories of Christopher Columbus will
be revued by the plautiug of a tree in his
grorc The children will defray the ex
penses ol their own exercises, they will
have a vacation from Thursday at noon
until the following Monday.
On Friday Pittsburg and Allegheny will
outdo themselves. In all their history
there has never been such a grand parade as
will grace the streets of these twin cities.
Allegheny county is to be on the streets.
Color, party and creed lines have been
abandoned for the day. The one aim will
be to properly commemorate this greatest
day in American history.
20,000 Men "Will Bo in tine.
As nearly as can be judged now there
will be 20,000 people in line. The parade
will be divided in four divisions which are
military, Pittsburg, Southside and Alle
gheny. The Fourteenth and Eighteenth
Itegiments and Lattery B, will comprise
the first division. The other three divisions
will be made up of all kinds of
organizations aud societies, political, social
and beneficial The Hibernian Rifles ot the
county hare assured the committee that
that will have at least 7,000 men in line.
The parade will be formed about 10 o'clock
in the morning. Its route has not been de
cided upon yet, but the principal streets
ot the cities will be paraded.
Some time during the day the United
Italians of Pittsburg will lay the founda
tion for the Ital'an monument in Schenley
Park. The services there will be pretty
und impressive.
In the evening a meeting will be held in
Old City HalL Mayor Gourley will pre
side. The programme will consist ot music
and addresses by prominent people. H. P.
Eckcr will have charge of the musical pro
gramme. If Old City Hall will not accom
modate all the people overflow meetings will
be held in different parts of the city.
AN INDEPENDENT CELEBBATION.
Sou Ihsiite. Organizations Want to Celebrate
Columbus Day Thcmsrlcs.
There was a meeting in the Mt "Washing
ton Maennerclior Hall last night of repre
sentatives from various organizations on
the hill for ihe purpose of considering, the
matter of holding an iude pendent demon
stration on Columbus Day. But a few
were present aud very little business wa
transacted. Another meeting will be held
next Monday evening, at which it will be
decided whether or not the hill organiza
tions will turn out with the Southside
division. Speaking ot the matter after last
night's meeting, 'Squire Sofiel said:
"Our people think, the general parade
will be too large. "We think further that
Mt. Oliver, Allentown, Beltzhoovct, ML
Washington and Duqucsne Heights are
entitled to a parade of their own. .We have
16 oris different organization in the several
hill wards that would make a very credit
able turn-out if we get up a parade of onr
own. The organizations will ' consider the
matter this week and the representatives
will be instructed how to vote at next
Monday night's meeting."
THE HEATH ZOUAVES IS LINE.
The Old Company Reorganized and Will

The "Heath Zouaves," of Allegheny,
held a meeting in the Allegheny Common
Council Chamber last night to make ar
rangements concerning the part they will
take in tne Columbus Day parade. This
was the first meeting the organization has
held for over four years, but there was a
good turnout. L. K. White was elected
Chairman of the meeting and George N.
Lacock Secretary, both of whom made
short addresses on assuming the duties of
their oGccs. Lieutenant John McGowan
was elected commander of the zouaves, vice

be present and take part in the Columbus
Day parade, and on motion a resolution
was passed that the organization would ac
cept the invitation nt Chief Elilers to par
ticipate in the parade, and be his escort. It
was decided to adopt the eld regular
"Heath Zouaves" uniform. The following
committee was appointed to draft a set ot
resolutions regarding the illness of Captain
Batchelor: Messrs. Lncock, McLaughlin,

Firemen to Meet To-Day.
Delegates to the biennial convention of
the Brotherhood of Engineers and Fire

They came from all parts of the country as

HAEY AND JOHN.
A tove Affair That Didn't Pan Ont Ends
in Court.
Mary Chenlousky will likely be married
this afternoon to John Ivczanark or it will
not be her fault. Judge Succop will very
possibly be the master of ceremonies. John
was boarding at Mary's house for the past
eight months, and for some time past was
strongly attached to the young giA. Two
weeks ago he proposed marriage to her and
was accepted. The date ol the celebration
was set for Monday last. On Saturday
Kczanark andv Mary went to the Court
House and procured a license.
At the appointed time on Monday John
failed to materialize. Mary searched the
Southside high and low for her intended
without avail. hc police, however, lo
cated him end bipueht him to the office of
Judge Succop, wnosent him to jail to await

and the Judge expects to have to marry the
pair.

in town to attend the convention but he
had no news to offer. He stated that
Sweeney as the editor of the Switchmen's
orcan had a much better job than being
Grand Master of the order. He is free from
responsibility. Mr. Downey added that
the men generally are satisfied with iheir
wa;es, but some are kicking. He consoles
himself by saying that it is hard to please
everybody.
Arrested for Peddling Blankets.

THE PITTSBURG-
WAS? LOWER DUTIES.
An Oil Report Made by a Committee
From the Chamber of Deputies
EEJECTED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
raul-Emile Girodet Sent to Pittsburg to
Do the Work Over .again.
LAEGER FOREIGN MARKET IS SIGHT
Panl-Emile Girodet, Vice President of
the French Chamber of Deputies, registered
at the Schlosseryesterday. He is a promi
nent man in the republic, and holds his seat
from La Loire district, which was once
represented by the late notorious General
Boulanger. Mr. Girodet's visit to Pitts
burg is of great interest to the oil men who
want higher prices for their product
While the American exports of the crude
and refined are extensive, they are not
nearly as large as they should be, and it is
to the foreign market that the producers
must look for help.
The French levy very heavy duties on
Yankee oil, so that America is not the only
country that believes in protection. The
t ax, however, is so oppressive as to be al
most prohibitive. The oil is imported from
Algiers, Bussia and the United States.
The bulk of it comes from this country.
A McKinley Bill Pointer.
The French have finally discovered prob
ably' they icceive their pointers from the
McKinley bill that it doesn't pay to tax
so heavily an article that is not produced in
their land, and Mr. Gi'odet was sent to
America to gather statistics about the
grades of oil with a view of having the
tariff greatiy reduced. This is what the
American oil men want. In connection
with Mr. Girodet's visit there is an inter
esting story.
Last winter a committee was appointed
by the Chamber of Deputies to do this
work. Three members came to the States
and spent considerable time in the oil
fields around Pittsburg about six months
ago. They were intelligent aud one could
speak English fairly well. They regis
tered at the Monongahela House and were
interviewed by a Dispatch man. When
they made their report to the French
Government it was rejected. The French
are a very suspicious people, and in some
way they learned that the Standard officials
had been hobnobbing with the committee.
It was charged that the committee had been
hoodwinked by the wily Standard people,
and all the information they received came
from agents of the great oil corporation.
Then Mr. Girodet was ordered to go over
the ground and verify the statements made
by the committee. He was instructed not
to avoid Standard agents, but to accept
their information cum grano sails.
Ho Yisited the Standard.
On his arrival in New York, Mr. Girodet
visited the Standard office, and was given a
letter of introduction to Mr. iTonng, of the
Forest Oil Company, in this city. Mr.
Girodet reached here yesterday morning,
and fell into the hands "of the independent
producers. Throueh the courtesy of ex
Senator J. W. Lee, Messrs. Shannon,
Barnsdall and otheri Mr. Girodet was
driven through the McDonald oil field.
Unfortunately th? Vice President can't
speak or understand a word of England.
John B. Schlosscr, who handles the
French fluently, was called in, and
the points of interest in the oil
district were pointed out. Mr. Girodet,
who by the way resembles Gambetta in the
face, was delighted with what he saw, and
marveled at the oil resources around Pitts
burg. He wished they had such extensive
deposits of oil in Iiis country. The French
man spent the day in the McDonald field
and returned to the hotel late last even
ins. He will start back for France
this morning. The arranging of the oil
duties will come up in the French cham
ber next month and this is why he is in
such a hurry to return home.
The French Dissatisfied.
It was learned from Mr. Girodet that the
French are much dissatisfied with their oil
imports. The price is very excessive and
the people are clamoring for lower
duties. Refined oil, of a bad quality at that,
is sold over there for 32 cents per gallon
Crude oil used to bring G cents per gallon
in New York several years ago, but compe
tition brought it down to 2 cents. There
are 28 oil refineries in France, bnt the
French don't understand how to get all the
valuable products out of petroleum. In
America 98 per cent of the oil is util
ized, while in France they can't get
out of the crude more than "75 per rent
Such a thing as paraffine from petroleum,
which is more valuable in the markets than
the oil itself, is unknown iu the foreiga
republic.
A Chemist Himself.
The refiners do not know how to distill it,
though the French enjoy the reputation of
having the best chemists in the world. Mr.
Girodet is a fine chemist himself, and is
paying particular attention to the Ameri
can refining methods. He will visit several
refineries in Philadelphia before he sails.
Mr. Girodft says they use 3,000,000 tons
of crude and refined oil in France yearly.
It is sold at 32 cents per gallon. Ee adds
that the consumption ought to be 9,000,000
tons, aud the extra product would be
bought in America, if the prices were not
so high. Refined oil is a luxury
In France owing to the heavy duties and
the bad methods ot refining employed. Mr.
Girodet said he was glad another'pipe line
is being built to the seaboard, because he
thinks it will make oil cticaper. He will
no doubt recommend a reduction in the
tariff on his return home.
He Only Fired in the Air.
Adam Lang went to the house of a man
named Throp, who lives on Grace street,
Mt. Washington, on Monday, to collect a
bill, and on being driven away sought to
get even by smashing the windows. The
officers were Bent lor, and when they
reached the place Lane had retired to his
own house, where he fired three shots into
the air. He was arrested last night on Mr.
Thorp's information before Alderman
King.
Frightened by a Flying Brick.
The clerks in the office of the Board of
Assessors were startled yesterday in the
midst of their duties by a brick flying
through the window facing the new build
ing in course of erectiqn in the rear of CItv
HalL The missile toppled off the seventh
floor of the new building and striking a
Ecnflold caromed off through the window in
the office. Broken glass was scattered all
over the place.
Will Meet Tills Afternoon.
The meeting ot the County Commission
ers which was to have been held yesterday
afternoon to settle final action on the ballot
to be used under the Baker system of vot
intr did not take' place. The Commissioners
will, however, meet this afternoon to de
cide the matter. The Commissioners have
prepared a ballot 26x20 inches which they
will adopt
Had Both Legs Cat Oft
Coroner McDowell was notified last nicht
of the death of Martin Dore, a brakeman on
the P., V. & C. Bailroad, at Elizabeth. In
attempting to board a train he fell under
the wheels and had both legs cut off, from
the effects of which injury he died.
A Good Showing.
Howl, Brown & Company put on an1
other crucible at their Seventeenth street
steel works yesterday, making five cruci
bles which are now running on double
turn for the first time in four or fire
yean.
DISPATCH, ' WEDNESDAY,
AFRAID OF DEPUTIES.
Sheriff McCleary's Officers Have More In.
fluence Than the Military Troops Ex
pected to Be Kcinoved Thursday Morn
ingMore Men Going to "Work.
The militia will "be taken away from
Homestead on Thursday morning that
order is reported to have been received
yesterday. Colonel Hulingi would not dis
cuss the matter, but it was common talk
among the soldiers, and the commissary in-'
formed a nnmber of merchants in town
that no supplies were to be delivered later
than Wednesday night In anticipation of
the immediate withdrawal of troops Sheriff
McCIeary has begnn to increase the number
of deputy sheriffs. There were six new
deputies brought up from Pittsburg and
five of the old force were laid oft In the
morning abont a dozen additional deputies
are to be added.
The deputies are really more feared, or at
least more obeyed, than the soldiers, for
they have been in town so lone, aud Know
ing everybody, have a certain influence
which militiamen have not, for every
wrong-doer knows if he creates disorder he
will be arrested, because the deputies
would be certain to recognize him.
It is currently reported in Homestead
that Isaac Critchlow is to return to work
this week and the charges against him are
not to be pushed. Critchlow is a member
of the Advisory Board.
Thirty-two of the steel workers who
started from Knoxville, Tenn., to work iu
the mill arrived yesterday and were placed
at work. They were former Pennsylvan
ians who went South when the iron boom
began and were discouraged. Arnold
Frank says 50 Slavs reported lor work in
the morning.
Peter Johns, colored, 21 years of age,
working at the Homestead Steel Works,
had his skull badly fractured by the falling
of a crane yesterday. Ho was taken to the
West Penn Hospital. His injuries are very
serious, if not fatal.
E0ABD OF EDUCATION.
-S
Chairman aicKelvcy Benders an Important
Decision on a Minority Report
At the meeting of the Board of Educa
tion last evening, the committee on the
plan of examining candidates for admission
to the High School, reported that it would
have a statement ready for the next meet
ing. This committee was appointed last
spring and presented majority and minority
reports at the June meeting. After a bitter
fight both reports were rejected. The fol
lowing day the Secretary notified President
McKelvey that he had made a mistake in
the roll, and that the minority report was
really approved bv a majority of one vote.
The Secretary officially notified the board
at its next meeting, but'no action was taken
on the matter.
At last night's meeting, when the com
mittee reported, President McKelvey said
that the Secretary having declared that the
minority report of June had had a majority,
he would rule that the minority report had
been adopted, and its provisions would
regulate admissions to the High School.
There was some opposition to this, and it
was plain that the minority report was not
in general favor. A motion was made, how
ever, to discharge the committee, bnt there
were so many objections that the committee
was continued. They will bring in another
plan. In the meantime the minoritv report
is in force. It is but very little different
from the present plan, excepting that the
pupils are examined in the sub-district
schoolhouses instead of at the High School.
The Committee on Evening Schools
recommended that they open on November
4 for 40 nights under the usual rules. The
report was adopted. The committee on the
Fifth avenue market site reported that an
ordinance giving that building to the Cen
tral Board had been presented in Councils
and was referred to the Committee on Pub
lic Works. Superintendent Luckcy re
ported an enrollment of 29,237 pupils for
September. This is 759 more than in Sep
tember, 1891, and 613 more than in any pre
vious month of the school history.
HELPING THS CATJ3E AXONS.
The Allegheny General Republican Clnb
Holds a Well Attended Meeting.
The hall of the Allegheny General Re
publican Club was filled to overflowing last
night by an enthusiastic audience. A num
ber of speakers were introduced who talked
on the principles of the Bepublicsn party.
Among those who spoke were: L N. Patter
son, Senator John If. Neeb, Colonel W. A.
Stone and Charles Irwin. Senator Neeb's
speech was short and to the
point. He said the Baker ballot law
was unfit for nse and he was glad that
he had voted against it "I don't antici
pate any trouble from the uneducated
voters,"" Mr. Neeb said, "but from the
man who knows it all. Why, I thought I
understood it thoroughly, but after I had
voted three times at the school and had
each vote thrown out I concluded I was not
in it, and my advice to you is to start a
school on voting under the new law as soon
as possible."

tion consisted chiefly of statistics of the
publio and private schools. It was not
complete not all of the private and none
of the parochial schools having sent in
their returns.
The Moral Iteform Committee have had
hard work in getting the material required.
One of the members said she did not believe
there was much of moral reform in Alle
cheny county. This committee has also
been instructed to inquire into the mis
sionary work of the county.
Many Local Lady Inventors.
Perhaps the most satisfactory report was
the one submitted by the Committee en
Science and Invention. After a great deal
of-labor the committee found that there had
been 21 women inventors who were granted
patents in this county since 1790. In the
State there have been 205 patents granted
women, but these are mostly in Philadel
phia county, all other counties except Alle
ghenv having bat two or three female in
ventors. The articles patented range from
a cosmetic and footpad for a sewing ma
chine to a rotary engine. One woman
patented a compound propeller pump.
The Public Health Committee reported
202 women engaged in hospitals as superin
tendents, matrons, nurses, etc., and two
women physicians, two dentists and two
pharmacists. There are 42 sisters engaged
in relieving the sick in the various Catholic
hospitals.
The Social and Economic Science Com
mittee reported about 25,000 women engaged
at work in Allegheny county, of whom 10,
000 work in factories. Here Mr. Eichards
suggested that the matter wanted by the
commissioners regarding occupations for
women was more the distinctive work than
the general employments.
Alter the various reports bad been heard,
Mr. Kichards explained at length the points
in the circular under which' the committee
has been acting, which were not fnlly un
derstood by the members. In the colonial
and curios department the ladies found that
the owners of relics did not caret o risk
them out of their possession, even if they
should be fully covered by insurance. The
matter of selecting an alternative to fill the
vacancy in the Twenty-third Congressional
delegates, occasioned by Mrs. Butan mov
ing from the city, was not acted upon.
The board is anxious to obtain pictures of
celebrated women in the county, with short
sketches of their lives. An unfinished por
trait ot Mrs. Jane Grey SwiMhclm, painted
by herself, was amoug the first mentioned
as being desiranle. A copy of Mrs. Swiss
helm's "Advice to Country Girls" will also
be on exhibition.
A Museum Will Result.
All the materials used in the decoration
of the ladies' parlors of Pennsylvania State
building will be bought by the State and
removed to Harrisburg after the Fair,
where they will be placed as a nucleus for
a State art museum which is to be estab
lished. An appropriation will be made for
the building next year.
The colored women of the country wanted
to make some display. Thev decided upon
a bust of Avery, and wanted Edmonia, a
colored sculptress of some note, to execute
it for them. For some reason or other they
were unable to obtain the sculptress' ad
dress, so the matter fell through.
The project of erecting a glass building
for Allegheny county women's exhibit in
the woman's building had to be abandoned
on account of the committee being unable
to obtain space. It was the intention to
erect a Temple of "Vesta, and the exhibit
would have undoubtedly Deen a feature of
the fair. Not being able to carry out this
idea the committee did the next best thing
and decided to make a glass room. This
will be composed entirely of plate mirrors,
and will be decorated with cut and etched
class of everv description. The prominent
glass manufacturers were seen yesterday by
Mr. Kichards, and each one said he would
furnish whatever the ladies wanted. With
tlHs assistance the ladies will doubtless
make a creditable display.
A letter was read before the board yester
day from Eev. S. Collins, a U. P. minister
of Allegheny, which said he had noted the
intention .of the women to erect a Temple
of Vesta, and wanted to know it they wero
going back to heathen worship. "As an
American and a Christian and a minister of
the gospel," he continued, '"I protest
against this as an affront to the true God,
and ask that you give up the project"
Some Rare Wood Carving.
Mr. Kichards say3 that Franklin county
will have a novel exhibit from a convent
near Chambersbnrg. There is a large estate
there which belongs to a religious order.
There are only two of the nuns left, and
they being the last of the order the ques
tion has arisen as to whom the estate will
go npon their demise. It will be a matter
for tne courts to decide. The furnishment
of the convent is all from the hands of the
nuns. The wood earviug is something grand.
It is the intention to obtain a number of
specimens of this carving, as well as -the
other samples of the nuns' handiwork, and
display them at the Fair. The altar, it is
said, is perhaps the most magnificent speci
men of wood carving in the United States.
It is a question whether the ladies will suc
ceed in securing the articles they wish.
