    could wish to see, the little fellow related
tl.e story without a falter. He was neatly
dressed "in his school clothes and wore his
marching cap. He did not seem to realize
his position, and talked of the affair with-
oat reserve or emotion.
ratal Uso of a Christmas Gin.
Tn the main his statement corroborated
that of George Stivanson and the other
bovs who were present except as to the size
of the knife. At first he declared it was a
small knile with only one broken blade,
bnt later admitted it was a large jack-knife
which his mother had given him ior a
Christmas present
The wound indicates, superficially, that
a large knife was used. Though the exact
course of the knile will not be known until
a poet mortem examination is made, it
is believed it passed through a portion of
the lung and into the heart at the aorta.
Stivanson was alio a handsome boy, and, as
he lar on a couch in his father's parlor last
night", he looked like a pretty woman
sleeping. The grief of the mo'thcr was
painful to witness, and as tha great gaping
wound was exposed to the view ot the
neighbors who by the hundred thronged in
to gaze npen the dead boy, her suffering
was indescribable.
Halt a block away another mother was
suffering even as acutely. Coupled with
her distress of mind over the fact that her
baby boy had become a murderer, Mrs.
Rodgcrs was suffering intensely from a seri
ous physical ailment which has threatened
her life for months. She was seized with a
lainting spell when the painful news was
broken to her. and late last night her con
dition was critical.
Coroner McDowell is investigating the
case, and will bold an inquest to-morrow.
NEARLY A REPETITION.
Another ratality Narrowly Avoided on
SinlthGeld Street The Banks or the Alle
gheny Central Republican Clnb Broken
Through Tho Jllotornian Arrested.
A small sized riot occurred at the corner
of Smithfield and "Water streets yesterday
morning when a motorman on the, Birming
ham line attempted to run his car through
the ranks of Allegheny Central Republican
Club. A repetition of the "Wylie avenue
accident of Saturday evening last was nar
rowly averted.
Five men were knocked down, but not
injured seriously. They were thrown
i toward the sidewalk and dashea on the
cobblestones with considerable force. The
club was on its way to the Baltimore and
Ohio station to take the train for Wheeling,
when car Xa 10 caine dashing along and
broke through the marching columns. In a
moment the car was surrounded by men and
every window in the car was broken to
pieces. A dozen stalwart fellows rushed
into the car and grabbed the motorman, and
gave him probably the soundest thrashing
he or any other motorman ever received.
Tiie racn who were injured did not go to
"Wheeling-, but proceeded at once to swear
out a warrant lor the motorman's arrest,
lie was placed in custody in the afternoon.
CABS HAVE THE EIGHT OF "WAY.
Chief Brown Issnes an Order to Govern
Parades and Prevent Accidents.
Chief Brown yesterday issued an order
thnt marching clubs and all street parades
must give up the right of way to traction
car?, on steea grades and elsewhere, when
it can be done. Policemen are required to
arrest captains or commanders ot organiza
tions failing to comply with tbe order.
Cniel Brown justifies his action in issuing
the order by referring to the accidents of
Saturday night and yesterday morning.
"If some understanding is had as to who
has the right of way," said the Chief,
"such accidents can be avoided. The
greatest convenience of the greatest num
ber is assured by giving the cars the right.
Parades are out ior show and recreation.
People on street cars are ceuerally in a
hurry and there are more of them than the
men in parade. Moreover, there is plenty
ot room on most streets for processions to
move between the car tracks and the curb.
On other streets, where the tracks prac
tically fill the street, the order don't go.
The cars roust wait until the procession
moves out of the way."
DETECTIVE SIUEBHY ABEESTED.
Editor Kovniak Charges Conspiracy In Con
nection With His Arrest.
Detective P. J. Murphy was arrested
yesterday pn a warrant sworn out by Peter
V. Eovniak, the editor of a Slavonic
paper, who claims to have been kidnaped
on Friday last. The charge on the warrant
was conspiracy, and Detective Finney,
formerly in the employ of the Murphy
Agency, made the arrest.
Tne complainant alleges that he was kid
naped and taken to "Wilkesbarre without
being apprised of any charge or given an
opportunity to give bail. This action,
Itovniak says, was the result of a conspir
acy entered into between the defendant,
Constable D. J. Gallagher and Ker. Joseph
F. KossalUe. A suit lor damages, it is
said, will follow the trial for conspiracy,
and a petition will be presented to court to
revoke Murphy's license. Murphy waived
a. hearing and gave bail for court.
BAKED THE NECESSAEY FUNDS.
A Prominent Merchant Assists a Pather to
Recover His Son's Body.
The body of E. J. Dougherty, which had
been shipped here irom Chicago C O. D.
and upon which there were 5138 70 charges,
was removed to the home of his parents
yesterday through the kindness of some
merchants. The father was too poor
to raise the necessary funds, and he was
tinable to get the bodv from the station. A
merchant read tbe story in the papers, and
immediately set to nork to raise the neces
sary funds. In a short time he succeeded.
He went at once to the station and ordered
the body removed to the parents' home.
Had a Narrow Escape.
A fire started early yesterday morning in
a three-story house in Skunk Hollow.
Michael McGrim, thl tenant, accidentally
discovered it through smelling the burning
wood. He.hastcned up stairs to arouse his
wife and tour children. The flames made
such progress that the stairway was com
pletely demolished before the children
could be dressed. They were let down on
the ground through a window and escaped
any injury.
Ko Sickness at Kensington.
Mr. Henry L. Ebbert yesterday most em
phatically denied tbe statement that Ken
sington was threatened with an epidemic of
diphtheria as an afternoon paper stated on
Monday. He was positive in the assertion
that jvensington had net a single case of
diphtheria within its borders, and consid
ered that it had been done a gross injustice
by the mistaken report, and tnat it was just
as thriving and flourishing a center activ
ity ever.

HOSTS FOR CHICAGO,
Representatives of State and
National Governments-
Who Will Assist
IN THE FAIE DEDICATION.
Five Sections of the Limited Heeded
to Carry the People
VIES OF CABINET OFFICERS.
Mr. TYanamater Thinks tbe Republicans
Will Carry New York.
BUSINESS MEN DDNT WANT A CHANGE
Five magnificent sections of the Chicago
limited rolled into tbe Union depot last
evening going "West Seldom has auch a
large and distinguished crowd of people
stopped in tbe dingy station at one time as
those who alighted from the trains for a
short tramp on the platform. They were
repreSentativesofthelfational Government,
several Eastern States and of a nnmbcr of
foreign countries bound for Chicago to at
tend the dedication of the "World's Fair
buildings. Three of the sections came from
"Washington; one carried Governor Patti
son and his staff", the brigadier generals and
their staffs and the State Fair Commission
ers. After the regular limited arrived the
others followed in close order. Governor
Pattison's party occupied the first section,
then came the Cabinet officers, the United
States Supreme Court Justices and the dip
lomatic corps.
Cabinet Officers on the Train.
j X)n the Cabinet officers' train were Post-
State John "W. Foster and his wife, Secre
tary Tracy, Attorney General Miller, Mrs,
"Wilmerding and Miss "Wilmerding, Secre
tary If able and wife and Miss Halstea, Miss
Elkins, Assistant Secretary Solely and
others. Secretaries Foster and Kusk will
meet the Cabinet in Chicago. Secretary
Tracy and Mr. "Wanamaker spent the
time pacing np and down the depot
The Postmaster General wore a white
slouch hat and his usual pious smile.
"When asked what States he considered
doubtful, Mr. "Wanamaker replied promptly:
"I think President Harrison will carry
all the States he did before. Some people
imagine that Kew York will go Demo
cratic, but I am not afraid of that State.
The business men will save it for the Re
publican party. "What can be accom
plished by a change? The adminis
tration has been first-class, and tbe
people are satisfied. It is true
the campaign is very quiet, but that is not
ominous. Unless there is something extra
ordinary about a candidate you need not ex
pect a hurrah canvass in the future. I think
they have passed away. The newspapers
discuss all the facts and issues, and the
people read them generally. It isn't neces
sary for voters to waste much time in cam
paigning. .
The Peeling of Business Men.
"Business men look on a change in gov
ernment when there is no good reason for It
as stockholders regard a shaking up in a
board of directors. "When you talk of
change to them, they grow suspicious and
lose confidence in the business. The same
principle applies to politics. Harrison has
made a good President, and the people
want him continued in power. I
look for a number of - Congressional
breaks in North Carolina, Alabama and
Tennessee. "We may get the electoral vote
of Alabama, but I am not sure ot it7 The
South is fast drifting toward Republicanism.
"What the people down there want is capital,
and they are beginning to learn that no
man will invest money with them as long
as honest elections are not held. Tbe time
is coming when even tbe Southern
ers will get tired of disfranchising
voters. If the colored people are
not allowed to cast their ballots like other
citizens then their Congressional represen
tation, which is usurped year after year,
should be cut off."
Secretary Noble said he was preparing a
list of what he thinks are doubtful States.
He says New York is not one of them, and
he is confident of a Republican victory in
West Virginia.
He Has Hopes of Alabama.
He hasn't made up his mind about Ala
bama, but he would not be surprised to see
the electoral vote cast tor Mr. Harrison.
Mr. Noble is not worrying about Colorado
or Nevada. He doesn't believe tbe West
ern Republicans will be foolish enough to
waste their votes on Weaver.
Secretary Tracy remarked that New
York was all right. He says tbe Repub
licans have nothing to fear from a quiet
campaign.
J. lie train carrying tne justices ot the
United States Supreme Court attracted a
great deal of attention. Mrs. Sbiras and
George IIX were at tbe depot to meet the
husband and father; so was Sol Schoycr,
who took advantage of the opportunity
to congratulate his old partner
in the law. As soon as the train
stopped, the tall frame of Justice Shiras was
visible near the door. He evidently knew a
number of iriends were waiting to greot
him, and he was soou on the platform,
where he was surrounded. Mrs. Shiras
asked if there was a place on the train for
her. "Why, certainly," the new Justice
replied, "there will always be a
place for you," and then he
helped his wife into the car. Mr. Shiras
looks well, and is not out ot place with
the other big beaded, smooth - faced
Judges.
The Supreme Court on Board.
Those on tho train were Chief Justice
Fuller and his wife.Jnstice Harlan, Justice
Gray and his wife. Justice Brewer and Mrs.
Brewer. Justice Brown, Justice Shiras and
Mrs. Sbiras, Marshal J. M. Wright and
Clerk McKenney.
On the first section of the 'limited was
George W. Childs, the veteran editor of the
Philadelphia Ledger. He asked a great
many questions about Homestead, remarked
that the men- had made a bad mess ot it,
and he was sorry for them. He concluded
by saying that the Republicans would elect
their President. Mr. Childs received quite
an ovation from people on the other trains
who knew him.
On the train with Mr. Childs was tbe
New Jersey delegation. Governor Abbett
couldn t come, but he was represented by
General W. S. Stryker. In the party were
ex-United States Senator Cattell, Mrs.
Yardlcy and Sarah G. Ware, the lady com
missioners, State Treasurer Gray, General
John D. McGill, General Spencer and
others. There were 30 in all
It was rumored that Chairman Harrity
was on the Pennsylvania train, bnt this was
a mistake. Mr. Harrity is too busy at
present watching the Democratic forces to
leave New York.
Governor Pattlson "Will Not Speak.
Governor Pattison was quite gracious and
cordial. He said he wouldn't make any
speeches in the campaign. He thinks the
Democrats never nad such a chance
to "win, and he looks for Cleve
land to have a great Tictory. He
believes that West Virginia and New York
will be Democratic. James Atwell, ex
Postmaster Xarkin and ex-Sherifi Gufley
called on the GoVernor. Mr. Atwell as
THE P1TTSBUR&
sured Mr. Pattison that the Democrats
were doing well in the western part of the
State He thought it looked as though the
Republicans were on the run, when they
schedule such a prominent man as ex
Speaker Reed to sneak in'Pittsburg.
The party on the Pennsylvania train in
cluded GoVernor and Mrs. Pattison, Miss
Pattison, Chief Justice and Mrs. Paxson,
Ljcutenant Governor Wntres, Mrs. "Watrcs,

Miller, Judge Advocate; Captain George
Hamilton, Aid de Camp; Captain John P.
Penney, Aid de Camp.
The oddest collection was the diplomatic
corps. They occupied teu Pullman cars.
When the foreign diplomats swarmed on
the depot platform a stranger would have
been paralyzed w itb the babel of strange
tongues beard on all sides. A beautiful
girl sat on the platform of the
rear car singing in French, "I
Am Just as Young as I Used
to Be." Then she jumped down from the
steps with several young fellows, and gave
them a lively foot race to the other end of
the station. Spanish, German, Italian,
Chinese, English, French and other lan
guages were strangely intermingled.
EMERY IS DISGUSTED.
Not Enough Money to Make a Respectable
OH Display at the Fair The Standard
Is Doing Nothing His Faith in Harri
son.
Lewis Emery, Jr., of Bradford, and his
wife registered at tbe Duquesne yesterday.
Mr. Emery is a member of the State
World's Fair Commission and joined th
Pennsylvania party for Chicago last even
ing. Since his great fight against Dels
mater two yean ago Mr. Emery has not
taken an active part .in politics. He says
he is too busy with his affairs.
"I know that President Harrison will be
re-elected," he "began. "I base my hopes
on the good sense of the American people.
I don't think our citizens are quite ready
to turn this country over to the Democrats
as long as they have snch a vicious plat
form. It would be ruinous to introduce
wildcat banking again."
It was reported that Mr. Emery intended
to establish a center here for his extensive
hardware business, but he said it was not
true. He has been delegated to get up an
oil exhibit for the Fair.but his progress has
been so slow on account of scarcity of funds
that he is disgusted. "What can be ex
pected from the States," he said,
"afte- the niggardly 'conduct of Con
gress with the appropriations ? , That man
Holman is too narrow and is. not well
enough acquainted with the interests of the
country to dictate our financial policy. As
tor the Pennsylvania oil exhibit, I have
about come to the conclnsion that it won't
amount to much. The Standard at first
took a lively interest, but the managers are
very apathetic now, and are doing nothing.
I know the reason, but I don t care to
speak of it now. They may come into line
later, but it is a question. My idea was to
have a big tank erected and inside to show
all the products of petroleum and how wells
are drilled. This was done at the Paris Ex
position, and the city paid the hill, but in
this country with such a close Congress we
cau't do anything. Oh, certainlv, we will
have some kind of an oil exhibit. It will
probably consist of a display of all the oil,
products, but it won't be what it should'
be."
Mr. Emery added that they are making
good progress on the new pipe line to the
seaboard. It will soon be finished.
FELL OFF A TEAIH.
Councilman Green, of Philadelphia, Meets
With a Fatal Accident.
Bernard J. Green, a member of the Phil
adelphia Select Council and a well-known
politician, fell from a special train at Son
man early yesterday morning. He was a
member of a party of Philadelphians headed
by Mayor Stuart and going to Chicago. Mr.
Green was found by a freight crew lying
on the cross pieces of abridge across Ben's
Creek. He was taken to the Johnstown
hospital where he soon afterward died. His
head was crushed in and his left leg broken.
He had $105 in his pocket, and from papers
on his person it was learned who he was. t
The unfortunate man was partially
dressed, and it is supposed got up in bis
sleep, and, in trying to walk from
one car to the other, fell off. "When the
train reached the Union depot it was still
early, and his companions and the crew did
not miss him. The party was notified by
telegraph at Canton of the sad accident.
With Mayor Stuart were James H. Wind
rim, Elias P. Smithers, WenceL Hartman
and other well-known Quaker City people.
Chapman Family Reunion.
Members of the Chapman family, of
whom it is claimed there are 12,000 in the
United States, met in Union Veteran
Legion Hall yesteniay and arranged for a
eencral reunion, which will be held in
Chicago next Augnst. At the meeting
yesterday Thomas W. Chapman, ot Muncie,

DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY,
CHDR6HMEN AT WAR.
Bev. Mr. Graham's Sympathizers Are
Kefased a Place ot Worship.
THEIR PETITION TURNED DOWN.
Seceders .Will Not Istablish a Church at
' Jack's Kan.
THE MINISTER DEFENDS IIIS PEOPLE
The adjourned meeting of the Allegheny
Presb y tery of the U. P. Church was held in
tho Fifth U. P. Church, Allegheny, last
night. The 'important business before the
meeting was whether the Presbytery should
grant an organization to the members ot the
West Bellevue Church who seceded when
Rer. Mr. Graham stepped down.
A controversy arose in the West Bellevue
Church over the Eev.Mr. Graham, who, after
17 years' service, it was alleged by a few
members that he did not suit, and alter a
lengthy controversy he resigned. His ad
herents, however, were not satisfied. Many
of them also withdrew from the church.
After struggling along for some time a mis
sion was established at Jack's Eun and an
application was made for an organization,
which was referred to a commission, which,
after a thorough investigation, presented a
recommendation that the organization be
not granted.
After the reading of the' report last night
there seemed to be a general hesitancy to
act on the matter. The Moderator an
nounced several times that the question was
'before the house for discussion. Finally
someone moved that the petition be not
granted.
Mr. Smith to the Front.
At :er a long silence Mr. Smith, a member
ot the commission, arpse. He said: "We
visited the place and we do not see why
an organization should be granted. We
found that the people there are given too
much to electioneering and are too much
like politicians and not enough like
Christians. There is entirely too much
bickering. The members who signed that
petition promise to be liberal and
build up a church, but on referring
to their records in the old organization,, I
think thatdhey will be unable to fulfil
their promises judging by what they havo
done in the past. I do not think that the
breach can ever be healed, as there is en
tirely too much bitterness displayed, not
only by members, but by the scandal
mongers of the town, wbo seemed to take
delight in stirring up all the friction pos
sible. I do not think that the promises
made to the provisional 'session can be
kept."
Several other members of the commission
spoke in the same strain, when it was sug
gested that probably the other side had
something to say. Samuel Arthur took
exception to the statements of the commis
sion. He said: "The trouble is that we
sympathized with our pastor. Neither side
is very strong, but one is just as strong as
the other. The church was not run ior the
glory of God, but tor the benefit of indi
viduals. A Pointed Charge.
"I have known of a case where one person
did not want preaching at night and his
wishes were carried out because he seemed
to be running things. In regard to recon
ciliation there has never been any attempt
made whatever towards it and I can say
that if there had been we would not have
held back. I concur with Mr. Smith that
there is entirelytoo much of the election
eering and politician about the church to
snit me. As I said before we sympathized
with our pastor." '
At this point a member raised a point of
order that the centleman was not talking on
the question. The Chair sustained the point
of order.
Mr. Arthur said he was merely replying
to remarks made by the former speakers.
Another member jumped np. He said he
thought the time for the point was when
the first speaker had the floor. Quite a
discussion arose as to who had the floor,
which finally subsided without a word lroin
the Moderator.
Rev. Graham then arose and asked per
mission to speak on the question. He said:
"Gentlemen, for 17 yenrs I labored hard
and earnestly in Bellevue, and God knows
,1 did the best I could, I may have made
mistakes. I don't say I did not The pe
tition before you to-night 1 have had noth
ing to do with, and did not intend to say
anything, but I cannot refrain from calling
your attention to the distance of tbe. pro-'
posed location from the nearest churches.
It is 10,000 feet from the old church, or
nearly two miles; 4.000 feet irom the Sixth
Church, and 6,000 feet from the Fifth
Church.
The Claims Made.
"The claim is made that if tbe new
church is established it will hurt the others,
but I claim they will be stronger than ever.
Look at the Belleville Church now. Al
though I labored lor 17 years with them, in
all that time I never saw them working
more in unison tban at present. I tnink
the petition is an honest one and should be
granted."
The Secretary then announced that ac
cording to the motion if lost no record
would be made. He wanted to know what
would become of the question. C B.
Johnson then moved that the word "not"
be dropped from the motion, which was de
feated. He then said he did not see whv
the Assembly should make fish of one and
flesh of another. "Not long ago," said tbe
speaker, "a very similar petition came
up before the Assembly and it was granted.
Now the weaker side does not have a cham
pion, else the minds of the Presbytery are
alreadv made up not to grant the petition.
I don't think it is exactly right."
Several other members made brief re
marks, after which it was decided not to
grant the petition, and an additional
church will not be organized at Jack's Bun.
AN ALLEGHENY FIEM IN TROUBLE.

WILL TALK ABOUT SMOKE.
A Beport Being Prepared for the Engineers'
Society A Paper to Bf Bead at the
World's Fair An Interesting Treatise
on Mill Buildings.
Last night's regular meeting of the Engi
neers Society ot Western Pennsylvania
was remarkably well attended. President
Hunt was in tbe chair, and 11 new members
were elected. Mr. W. S. Scaife stated that
the Committee on Smoke, appointed to in
vestigate and report on the smoke nuisance,
smoke consumers, etc., expects to report at
the November meeting. And Chairmann
Hunt announced that this report would be
made the order of business at the next
meeting. Mr. W. G. Wilkins was ap
pointed as a committee of one to select a
paper by a member of the society for pre
sentation before the Engineering Congress
at the Columbian Exposition.
A paper was read by Mr. George H.
Hutchinson, .associate member of the Amer
ican Society of Civil Engineers, and one of
the engineers of the Keystone Bridge
Works. His subject was "Mill building
construction with details from practice."
The paper wa an epitome ot the general
practice in the design of mill structure,
special attention being paid to the strains
induced by wind pressure. k
Three general types of bnildings were
dealt with, tbe first having a rigid frame
throughout, the second differing from the
first br having thin brick walls, and the
third having no iron columns, but heavy
brick walls to support the superstructure.
The firsc type is best suited for factories
where the heaviest jib and traveling cranes
are required, the second is adapted for ma
chine shops, but cannot be used where
heavv cranes are needed, especially it the
buildings be high and narrow. Traveling
cranes should not be fonnd in the last type,
and only the lightest jib cranes. Then fol
lowed a classification of various strains, and
the arrangement and details of members
best suited to resist them. An elaborate
and original analysis of wind strains, with
explanatory diagrams, was submitted. The
paper closed with tbe remark that the three
most essential factors in the design and
construction of mill buildings, in the order
of their importance, are strengtb,simplicity
and economy.
The keen local interest in the subject was
