To the question following, as to the difference in payment lor labor for nine months ending September SO, 1892, compared with 1890 snd 1891, he owned up to an increase ol 16J per cent. "Why was this? Mr. Peck, the namesake of the now distinguished Commissioner, answers in his comments upon the circular: "Paying higher prices ior work." The Ludlow Valve Works of Troy, X. Y., manufacturers of water works supplies, was another firm that had the "courape to say no," hut thev had an increase of 8 per cent in payment for labor. Because why? The company answered, "Because there is more demand for labor." & Fitch Sons & Co., of Kockville, Conn., makers of knit Roods, have 110 hands. They said the ilcKinley tarifl'had not increased their business; but, though they declined to iurnish a percentage of increase of money paid in wajes, they admitted thatwat;es had be a increased. Those nerativo replies and the remarks accompanying them should prove as good reading for the laboring men as for the Democratic committee. A l"cw of the Many Affirmatives.

Lewis Emery, Jr. and wllfe, of Bradford, were at the Duquesne a shoVt time yester day. They had been at Chlicjgo. and left for home in the afternoon. VAs the State Commissioner xvho has been Idelegated to look after the oil exhibit for the World's Fair, Mr. Emery is anxious that it rhall be a gre.ai.-swcess. 5hile in Chi caso he had.i'a talk with the Fair managers, ana thfey expect sreat tnins from the oil 1 lEen of Pennsylvania. Mr. Emery had about given up the idea of having an exten sive display on account of the scarcity of lunds, but he came hack from the Windy City with renewed hope. He has acreed to assume the responsibility of making the exhibit a fine one. Mr. En-ery said he would return to Pittsburg in a week to con sult with the producers, and try to revive interest "I have not yet given up the ida," he said, "of having a bijr tank, which is in dicative of the business, erected on the Pair grounds. The Standard Oil Company has declined to furnish any money, and I am told the concern intends to have its own exhibit They have al nays held themselves out to the world as the only people in the oii business, and they want to keep up this impression. At least, this is the idea their conduct has given most of the oil men. The tank can't be built without money, and the producers are too poor to do it unless as sisted. The price of oil has dropped from 1 to CO cents, and it is quite natural they are not enthusiastic. The Standard Rets the benefit, and the feclinz is strong that the company should stand its share of the burden. It is hard to say what will be done, and probably the Standard people will come in."

HER SKULL IS FBACTMED. The Old Lady Dies "Without Giving a Clew to Her Assailants, A DEEP MYSTERY IN THE CASE. Her Secret reelect Found and Killed of All Us Contents. LOOKING FOR WORK SHE FOUXD DEATH One more bloody murder has been added to the long list of Allegheny county homi cides. The victim is Mrs. Maria Dell, of McKeesport, a harmless, white-haired woman (33 years of age. That she was the victim of one or more hichway robbers there is no doubt. She was brutally beaten, robbed and left on a lonely roadside to die. The tragedy occurred on Saturday evening. There is no clew to the murderers. Between 8 and 9 o'clock Saturday even ing Edward Ballenburg, 18 years old, son of a farmer living on the Crooked Eun road, about a mile and a quarter from the McKeesport city line, was starting out for the evening, when at a lonely spot along the way he heard a moan as of a person in distress. Frightened, he called out A feeble voice replied. Hastening 'to the spot, he found Mrs. Dell lying on the stones along the roadside. Her white hair was soaked and her face covered with blood from two great gashes on the head, her clothing was torn and disarranged and the poor woman was scarcely able to move, though conscious and able to talk. Doesn't Remember "What Slie Said. Ballenburg talked to her for some time, though, strange to say, he now declares he cannot remember anything she told him, and then ran to the farm house of George "W. Morris, nearby, and gave the alarm. Mr. Morris and his family ran to the old lady at once and removed her to their house, where she was given every possible attention. In a.few moments she became unconscious. Knowing who she was Mr. Morris thought best to take her to her home in McKeesport in his buggy. Dr. "Wed dell was called at once to attend her there, but his efiorts were fruitless. At 12:30 o'clock yesterday morning the old lady died without having regained consciousness. Mrs. Dell is the wife of John Dell, an old soldier who, with his wife, has lived in McKeesport for many years. The couple have two grown sons and three daughters. For a number of years they have been making their home with their youngest daughter, Mrs. Shaw, in a two-roomed cot tage in the Fawcett plan, Eighth ward McKeesport, near the city line. Blade a Ijving Doing; Chores. The family is poor. Shaw is a laborer in a mill. Dell and his wife have been doing chores among the farmers and neighbors in that locality. It has been customary when either of them secured work away from home to live where they were employed, making their daughter's "home their -lvead-quarters. Lately Mrs. Dell has been out of em ployment On Thursday morning she packed a little basket with clothiu: and started from Mrs. Shaw's house to find work. She said she would go to see her granddaughter, 2ellfe Whalen, who lives as a domestic at Pancrest's dairy, near Turtle Creek. Her husband and her daugh ter's family were all present as the old lady departed, and as she bade -them goodby she said: "I have between 520 and 525 in here," patting her waist on the left side signif icantly, "and I guess I'll live on that until I can get something to do." "Where the old -lady spent Thursday and Thursday night has not been developed, but on Friday moraine she appeared at Turtle creek, calling on her granddaughter, Lillie. She left the girl at noon, saying she was go ing to "Wilmerdinc, where she expected to get work in a restaurant That was the last trace of her at present known to the authorities until she was found cruelly beaten, bleeding and dying along the Crooked Kun road. Coroner McDowell Investigating. The McKeesport police were notified of the case early yesterday morning and they notified Coroner McDowell, who, with his clerk, Grant Miller, went out to investi gate the case yesterday afternoon. The Coroner ordered a post-mortem examina tion of the body by Drs. Black and Bur lingame. They reported last night that there were two fractures of the skull, one fire inches long extending back lrom the lorehead. The other was at the base ot the brain, nearly three inches in length. There was also an ugly tear of the flesh on the left arm above the elbow, apparently made by the cruel crasp of her assailant, and a lracture of the pelvic bone indicating a brutal blow or kick in the abdomen. The wounds on the head were either produced by a sandbag or handybillv. In his investigation the Coroner .empan neled a jury and examined the husband, daughter and granddaughter on the witness stand. The evidence taken showed that Sirs. Dell always carried ber money in a secret pocket in her underwear, at the waist line. It could not be reached except from underneath her skirts, but the pocket was torn off, and the money was gone when the old lady was taken home. Her dress had been rudely torn open at the bosom and ber skirts had been trampled and torn in the scuffle with her assailants. As far as, the family knew, no one but themselves -was aware of her having money or where she carried it If Mrs. Dell had an enemy in the world her family did not know it, and they ill declare entire ignorance of who could have been her murderer. A Fit Spot for a Tragedy. The spot where the murder was committed is about ISO feet from the intersection of the Crooked Kun road and the old State road. It is a lonely, isolated place, and within a short distance of it a number of tragedies have occurred in the past The latest was the murder of H. C Shample, two years ago at a picnic,. for which Stewart i Cherry was convicted and is now (serving a term in the penitentiary. The police at McKeesport are now work ing on the case. The Coroner has ad journed the inquest until to-morrow after noon when it will be continued in the May or's office. In the meantime the District Attorney and County Detective will be re quested to assist iu tracking down the mur derer. The Coroner says he is satisfied a re port current in McKeesport yesterday that Mrs. Dell had been drunk and fell over the hill, receiving her injuries, is without foun dation. He investigated fully and finds the old lady was never known to use liquor in any form. An Escaped Convfct Captured. Lieutenant of Police Gallant caught Thomas' -Eiley, an escaped" prisoner from the workhouse,-at the B. & O. depot yester day and "locked him up in Central station. Biley was sent up on September 25 for dis orderly conduct oh a 60-days' sentence. He escaped three weeks ago. Xjntvocs headaches promptly cured by Bromo-Scluer loo a bottle. (. .

Manager Johnston Pleased by the Success of the Exposition This Tear Propo rtion to Increase the Size of the Main Bulldlnc More Room Needed. Manager Johnston is highly elated over the success of the fourth Exposition which closed Saturday night. The showwillgo down into"history as one of the big years. Mr. Johnston roughly estimates that the profits ior the. 40 days will amount to v $50,000. This is coining money at the rate of over $1,000 a day. A number of bills have not yet been pre sented, but it is pretty nearly known how much theywill be, so that no doubt the in come will be over f 50,000. He thinks the attendance will range from' 400,000 to 500, 000, or at least 10,000 daily on an average. The railroad tickets have not Deen counted, but judging from appearances it is be lieved the rural attendance was as large as in former years. - t "The Pittsburg Exposition,' continued Mr. Johnston yesterday, "is' ' the most profitable in the. country. I know whereof I speak, for it is my business to keep posted. In man places the interest has died down and the attendance has dwindled to nothing. Our. , success this year is phenomenal, taking everything into con sideration, and it shows, in spite of strikes and other labor difficulties, the city is in a prosperous condition. Busiuesn, as a rule, is always dull in times of political excitement Theatrical tcanajffcrs know what lively campaigns mean. First, we had to contend with the great Grand Army demonstration in "Washington, that took a great many people from Pittsburg. Then came the McKinley meetings in Washing ton and Wheeling, and the various political parades.. It can't be denied these t events attracted large crowds of people, but' appar ently our business was not affected. What we must do now is keep up the interest from year to year. It must not lag for a moment. In the last four seasons the Ex position has earr.ed 200,000 clear of all ex penses. Surelv people ought lo -be satis fied with a business that yields so hand somely. "We need more room to branch out, and it is the intention of the present board of directors to enlarge the buildings, unless radical changes should be made at the Jan uary election. It is hard to please every body, yon know. There is room enough between the main building and the river to put up another structure 300 feet long and from 60 to 90 feet wide. This would give us considerable more space. The idea is to build arches from the ' main building into the new one. That would practically make them one, and the archci could be easily made." CAUGHT AFIEB'TWO SEAB3. Lee Lavender Didn't Like the Sonth and Returned to Pittsburg. Lientenant Richards and Officer Cole last evening arrested Lee,. Lavender, col ored, who has been a fugitive from justice for nearly two years. Lavender lived on the hill above Twenty-eighth street, and near him lived Fanny Biddle; a white girl. Lavender was in the- .habit of going on sprees and nearly always wound up in the police station. One day while partly in toxicated he went into the house of Fanny 'Biddle and taking advantage ot her unpro tected position assaulted her and then forced her to give him two rings she wore on her finger. She went before Alderman McKenna and preferred two charges azainst ninigOneot larceny and tne.otner ot assault An officer Vas sent for Lavender, but he had escaped. Last nicht .word .was , broughtto the station that Lavender?w&Vbacls at his home intoxicated and J-raisingta disturbance. Lieutenant'Bichards and Officer'-Cole-' went to his house and found him in bed asleep. .He was brought to tho Twelfth .ward police station and will be given a hearing to-day.

He .worked iu the mill at Homestead for two weeks" but left Satur day night and came to the city. . D1PHTHEEIA OH A TBAUT. Members of the United States Marine Corps Stricken With the Disease. A special train scheduled as the second section of the Keystone express passed through the city this morning at 3;30, 'two hours and a half late.' It had on board the Marine Band of 40 pieces and the United States Marine Corps, 16 officers and 150 sol diers, some of whom were stricken with diphtheria. They were on their way to Washington, where, it is rumored, some of the case3 would be isolated on the patients' arrival. There was a possibility that some of the stricken ones would' be taken off at the Union station, this city. The station mas ter when seen late last night said that no orders had been received regarding the dis position of the train. He had no official or other information that any of the' patients would be taken off at Pittsburc. DELAYED THE WORK. The West End Electric Road Will Not Run for come Time. Work on the West End Electric Bailway tracks has been suspended on account of the trouble over the Point "bridge. The two companies have been disputing over the right of way for the railway tracks. The case had been in court and was thought to have been settled. The case was' opened again when the tracks were being put down and no work can be done till the matter is settled iu court lhe work on the power house is being pushed forward, but cannot be completed for several weeks yet It is thought cars will not be running before the first of the year. Working in Westmoreland. Senator Ed Bobbins, ot Greensburg, was in the city yesterday. He says the West moreland Benublicans are at work, and he thinks the county will ., go Republican. Heiner for Congress will not poll the vote that Huff wouldhave received, but he will pull through. Not many meetings are be ing held, but the people are reading and take a great interest in politics. Still in a Serious Condition John Helphar and his son David, who so brutally beat and abused Policeman Daw son, of the West End, Friday night, have air. James Booth; of Booth & Flinn, re released on 500 bail. The injured marked yesterday that there bad not been a been released on 500 bail. The injured roan is still in a precarious condition. His extreme age is against him and he shows little signs of recovery from his injuries. Wenzeslans Victoria Dies Suddenly.

DISPATCH, A SCARCITY- OF RAIN Produces a Water Famine in Hiany Western Pennsylvania. Towns. SPRINGS AND. STREAMS DRIED DP. low TiTers responsible for Diphtheria and lyphold Fever. GRASS AND WINTER WJIEAT INJURED While the citizens of Pittsburg and'Alle gheny are discussing plans for a purer water supply, the farmers and the people throughout the Sfate generally would be glad to get water of any kind. Some harrowing tales of the long drawn out drouth are told, and "without doubt the present dry spell is the most severe within the memory of the oldest inhabitants. Diseases are raging along the low and stagnant streams, the winter wheat crop ia almost ruined and the grangers wonder where it will all end. Throughout the summer the disciples of Agricola watched the blue skies and hoped for rain that never came. It may surprise a good many city people to know that it has rained very little since June. A water famine in many small towns is threatened", and the fields are dusty and parched. It would be a terrible calamity if it should freeze up for the winter without copious showers, and this is what the farmers fear. A telegram from Altoona yesterday stated there is not an ounce of water in the reservoir at Kittanning Point, and a bread famine was prevailing. House wives were unable to mix flour for the doueh.' Mountain fires are raging, and in case of a conflagration the city would be at tbe mercy of the flames. Greensburg Short of Water. But Altoona is not the only town in Western Pennsylvania that is so seriously situated at present. Greensburg people say they have' enough water to last them for another week, and unless it rains in the meantime, it is the intention to cut off the supply and reserve the balance on hand for fires. Many of the water tanks alone; the Pennsylvania road are 'as dry as old hay mows. The streams hfeve disappeared, and. their beds are littered with the bodies offish. The Youghiogheny river is so low that it is little better than a long pool of stagnant water. The river seems lo be scarcely mov ing, and all the filth and garbage dumped into it lies reeking along the banks and in the bottom. It is not surprising that epi demics of diphtheria and typhoid fever . have swept West Newton and other towns between McKeesport and Conuellsville. Complaints of much sickness come from alf the coal hamlets that line the Baltimore and Ohio road. H. A. Douglass, ot West Newton, says his family has been sick all summer, and , he blames it on tbe dry weather. James Cochran, of Dawson, was in the city the other day. He said he had to close down one of his coke plants be cause he couldn't get enough water to run the works. The loss to the Cincinnati packet men has been very heavy. None of the regular boats have made a trip since the middle of July. Drove Across the Ohio River. The Ohio is so low tiiat Father Henrici. ot the Economites, had no trouble the other day in driving across the river in a buggy at a point which would be very dangerous under ordinary circumstances. Low water Irequently ties up the down stream packet boats, but it is not often that the dry spell lasts for two months ,and a half with no sign of rain aijd; good prospects of winter setting in'at any tjm'i f ' The weather has proved a ble'ssing to the Exposition, .but not ..to .the grangers. The cnuntry roads are a mass of fine riust- The protracted drouth is giving the farmers a great deal of trouble and ruining the winter wheat As usual in dry spells, the grass hoppers and. flics are abundant There is nothing -so effective as a lively thunder shower to remove these pests. The hoppers are eating the grain, and the flies are both ering the lite out of the horses, and cattle. Springs have dried, and in Butler, Washington and other counties many farmers are compelled to drive their stock from two to three miles daily lor water. The poor cattle suffer in tensely and are not watered more than once a day. As early as last September ex-Collector John Dowlin, who lives on a farm in Greene county, said that unless it rained very soon the crop of winter wheat would be destroyed by the grasshoppers. It is not growing rapidly anyhow, but as fast as it comes up the hoppers gobble the little stalk. In Blair county the crops are re ported as ruined, and it is stated that the same condition ot affairs exists in other counties. Ohio Is Pretty Dry, Too. The drought is not confined to Pennsyl vania, but extends into Ohio and neighbor ing States. The grass is destroyed, and farmers for the last ten days have been feeding their cattle with fodder, as they do in winter. The pasture fields arc baked, and the grass has dried up and died. Many grangers, when they saw how dry the weather was, put in a second crop of" corn, and their cattle are now living on the stunted product John Klingensmith, a dairyman and farmer near Kittanning, says the earth in that section of the country is practically dry dust for a depth of four or five feet "Through my farm," he said the other day, "there is, or rather there was. a creek alon? which I was building a fence recently. I expected to find some moisture in" the ground when digging post holes along the bank of the creek, as there generally is along a water course, but to my astonish ment there wasn't a sign of it I dug holes nearly four feet deep and even at the bottom of them the digger would raise a dust every time it strnck. Cabbage, potatoes, corn and other kinds ot grain have been an almost absolute failure up in our section. May Advance the Price of 9111k. "In my dairy business we have only been getting about half our usual supply of milk owing to the absence of rain, and the pros pects for the winter are dismal indeed. I think it not unlikely the price of milk and butter will be advanced shortly as a lesult of the drouth." . ' But while tbe lone-continued dry spell has blown no good to the farmers, it has been a good thing tor the builders, contract ors and others whose wo'rk is in the onen day since the 1st of May on which it was necessary to suspend work on street im provements in this city. As a result all the contractors have had a remarkably profitable season,- notwithstanding the prices , for- all city work have been lower than ever before. .A vast amount of work has been accomplished in all parts of the city and in the parks, thanks to the dry spell aud it has been done more economic ally than usual, because there was no ex .pense incurred in doing over again what heavy rains had undone. ,. . . . tte?? i &!i- .

The Salvationists Unusually Bnsy Tester day New Members Added to Their RanlA-Tonchlns Experiences Related by an Old Man Whose Sons Had Gone Astray. The Salvation Army held unusually ex citing and interesting meetings yester day. For hard, zealous and determined work the little band of Salvationists on tbe Southside has few equals. They are few in numbers, but' make up in enthusiasm for the cause , for what they lack in quantity. But yesterday was a little out of the regular routine and they had reason' to be more enthusiastic as'their work' was not in "vain. At 3 o'clock they held an open air meeting on South Twenty fourth street They then went to their quarters in the rink between South Twenty cnnrl nnH Turni.tMrf? streets, where an other earnest meetiug was held. The little band then went to the Liberty Street Meth odist Episcopal Church, and spent almost two more hours in song service. There was no lack of earnestness manifested and the meeting was not in vain, as there were several recruits added to their ranks. All then returned to the Southside, and the residents along Carson about Twenty second street were treated to such an lout burst of Salvation Army music as is seldom heard, though this is their rendezvous, and the people have become accustomed to their methods of inducing the passer-by to lend a patient ear to their teachings. After parading the streets and securing a goodly following all repaired to the mammoth rink and the reeular Sunday evenine services were heltL. The meeting partook of the J nature oi an experience-reiaung gaiucnuj;, and some unique tiles were told. Among them was John Krieger, who was about 70 years old. He had spent his lite in dissipation,1 but was thankful that he had been redeemed through the instrumentality of Boothjj Array. He said he had three sons, one of whom was a thief, another a drunkar.l and the third a worthless sot. He prayed God that they might be brought to repentance, and he would die happily. It took him over an hour to relate his ex periences. His narrative was full of tender pathos at times, and many were moved to tears. He will hereafter devote hiB energies in the work of the army.

JUVEHILE BUBGIABS. Three Little Girls Enter a Boaso and Steal Jewelry. Three little girls from the East End, whose ages range from 6 to 9 years, were the figures in a genuine burglary Saturday afternoon. During the absence of the fam ily they climbed through a window at the home of Mrs. J. B. Carver, 3512 Brereton avenue, and stole a gold ring, chain, pocket book aud several small articles of jewelry. The matter was reported to the police and the property was recovered by pfEcer Biley. Owing io the youth of the burglars Mrs. Carver refused to prosecute aud they were discharged. Gone to See the World. Thomas Sarcjeant, aged 16 years, is missing from his home, corner of Lowell and Wins low streets, in the East End, and it is thought he has run away.

HIS VOW WAS FATAL. Yonng Cigarmaker Breaks Pledge Never to Return Home TO TISIT HIS DYING FATHER. De Ii Killed While returning From the Home of Dis Parents.' HIS DEAD B0DT FOUND OS THE TRACKS C. W. Lewis, a young cigarmaker whose relatives reside at DuBois, was instantly killed at Kennedy station, on the West Penn Bailroad, yesterday. It is supposed his death resulted from the breaking of a voir he made some years ago, to "never go home any more." When he first left home is not definitely known, but he has been roaming all over the country, stopping only a short time at any one place, since early in 1889. It is believed he left home some years before that. Lewis was a tramp, not of the everyday bestgarly type, but possessed of a roving disposition and never contented nnless on tbe move. He dressed well and worked wherever he went. This is shown by a working card from the National Cigar makers' Union which he carried and which has evidence that-he paid dues in nearly every town of any i size between Chicago and New York. Some cities he had visited at intervals several times. Vowed Never to Return Home. Whatever may have been the cause of his leaving home he had written a vow, "I'll never go home anymore." It was written on a piece of paper which he car ried in his pocketbook. With it was a newspaper clipping containing the words of a song entitled, 'Til Never Go Home Any More." Both scraps of paper were worn and had faded yellow, as if carried for a long time. A letter from his brother at DuBois, found in the dead nan's pocket, furnished a clew to where he had been previous to his death. The letter stated that on tbe 2d inst his old father had suffered a second stroke of paralysis, was very feeble and could not possibly survive much longer. The missive was addressed to Lewis in a Western town. A desire to see his poor old father once more before he died caused the young man to break his vow. He re turned home, bnt did not stay long. The old spirit of unrest seized him on Saturday and be started away once more. The manner of His death indicates the mode of travel he usually followed. As the through freight train passed Allegheny Junction on the West Penn Bailroad yes terday morning the engineer noticed Lewis lying'on the bank in the sua 'apparently asleep. Death Overtook Him on His Return. It is supposed he had worked his way from DuBois on the Allegheny Valley road during the night and was waiting for an op portunity to continue on bis way. The noise of the passing train aroused him and he managed to get aboard. The next seen of him wttv at Kennedy station where the train was stopped on a block signal. One of tbe brakemen found his body lying on tbe track a short distance in rear of "the train. He was dead when the trainmen reached him. They suppose he went to sleep sitting on the bumpers be tween two box cars and was jolted offby the sudden stop of the train. His skull was fractured by the fall but there was no other injury noticeable. The body was put. on the train and brought to the morgue iu this city. As soon as tbe body was identi fied by the papers found upon it telegrams were sent to the relatives, at DuBois and they are expected here to-day, when an in qneJt will be held. Inspecting the B. & O. Road. President Mayer and Vice Presidents Smith, King and Lord, of the Baltimore and Ohio road, arrived in the city after midnight from Chicago. They are on a tour of inspection, i nd had been looking over the terminals to the World's Fair, which are about completed. The work done on the Pittsburg and Western this summer will be examined. It is the inten tion to have the latter road ready for through trains by next spring. Peter Bell Burled With Masonic Rites.
