URNING STRAW AND LEATHER
insed AH the Trouble and Created 'Wild
I xcitement.
IGIIT HEX TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL
9
Eight firemen narrowly escaped death at
fire on First avenue yesterday afternoon.
11 were partially suffocated by smoke,
bey were taken to the Homeopathic Hos
tal at once and after a few hours all but
le was able to walk home. The other
an will be in condition to resume work to
ur. . .
The fire itself was comparatively msig
ficint It originated in the cellar of D.
liestnut & Co.'s harness, hose and hard
are store at 147 First avenue. Theresas
hjlit or fire in the cellar at the time,
id ft isbelieed the blaze Btarted from a
;lited match or ciiar stump carelessly
-opped by some pedestrian. The smoke
iming up through the cracks in the floor
d to the dif-covery. An alarm was sent
at once. Engine Company 2fo. 2 was the
-st to arrive. Two men with Babcocks
ji down to the cellar while the balance of
ie company laid a line of hose.
The cellar was filled with packing straw,
ills of heavy sole leather and cases of
ock of various 'kinds, the fire seeming to
. at one end where the straw and heavy
ather was. Until air was admitted by the
.ening of the doors there was no flame, but
e moment the air rushed in the blaze
.ndled and burst out fiercely. The fire
en were driven out and began to work
otn above, tearing up the floor and turning
e hose streams down in that way.
The Stifling Smoke.
In a few moments the flames were par-
.lio nnonxhed and several firemen re-
lrned to the cellar, anion? them Otto
iauch. In a moment Hauch staggered out
1 the street and iell unconscious. Follow
s him came a great cloud of peculiarly
ifling smoke from the burning straw and
ather, which drove the crowd on the
reet away. The smoke filled the store
ulding for a moment and when the wind
'ted it there was a significant quiet in the
.ilding, which caused the firemen to won
r what had happened to their fellows.
Frightened, they ran into the building
id were horrified to see firemen lying all
,-er the floor. The spectators were called
. assist and half a dozen unconscious men
i the first floor were carried out to the
reet, among them Chief Steele. Chief
oates, who was among the rescuing party
id been inhaling the smoke for some time
d he too keeled over, but did not lose
lsciousiiess. Those carried out from the
per floor all revived after a lew moments
the Jresh air and returned to work.
There were four men in the cellar when
rescue began. Chief Steele and Otto
ch were among the rescuers,. and had
.ly entered the cellar when the smoke
in overcame them, and they were car
d out. Captain Hennigan, Hauch and
her firemen returned to the rescue and
agged out Emil Kuhn, of Xn 4 company,
id William Park, of No. 3. who had been
e first to go down. Kuhn was floating in
e water, which had by this time filled the
dlar to the depth of a foot. Fortunately
is head had fallen on a box when he keeled
rer, else he would surely have drowned he
re assistance came.
The Busy Patrol.
John Schwab, of Ka 2 company, and
artier McCoy, oi Truck A, were also of
e first four down. "When they were finally
.rried out the patrol had made two trips to
,e hospital. They were also placed on
sard, makinc eight men taken to the hos
tal for treatment Otto Hauch was among
e number. He recovered consciousness
the door of the building and refused to
i in, saying he was all right, and started
walk away. Before he had gone ten
eps he fell over unconscious and as car
;d into the hospital. Georee Price, of
uck A; Emil Crow, of No. 2 company,
,d James Crowlev, of No. 1, were also
ken to the hospital. Captain Hennisran
is taken to his engine house and tainted
ter he got there, but he soon recovered.
Many other firemen were affected by the
joke, but not sufficiently to prevent their
ntinuing at work. Detective William
lore was tripped on a piece of hose and
rown headlong into the cellar, sustaining
slight injurr. Before he was assisted out
e smoke affected him so that .he was
ken to the Mercy Hopital, but only re
ained an hour until he was able to walk
ime.
Kevlred by Fresh Air.
All the men affected became deathly sick
tbeir Btomachs. Those taken to the 1ios
tal were quickly revived by pumping
sh air into their lungs, which seemed to
"filled with the smoke. By 9 o'clock last
cht all the firemen had recovered and
liked out of the buildinsr, except William
irk. He had been the first to succumb,
d had been in the cellar longer than any
the others. The doctor said last night
at Park would be ready for duty this
orniiig.
Miss Lida Chestnnt,a clerk in her father s
:re, had been to the bank and was just re
rning when she saw the flames issuing
am the cellar. She was so aflected that
e fell in a faint and had to be taken to
r home in Allegheny in a carriage. The
lilding where the fire occurred is owned
- the Lowry. estate. It in a very old
ree-btorv brick. It was not damaged. D.
lestnut & Co. fix their loss at ?5,000, but
ythe fire will not inconvenience their
.siness. Johnsons, Eagye & Earl, whole
le grocers, adjoining will suffeiyibout
500 loss to sugar and other articles ruined
- water flooding their cellar. Other
ighbors will suffer slightly, but all are
vered with insurance.
CASTE CAPITALLY DONS
The Manola-Mason Company at Home In
Kohertson's Play.
A particularly neat and artistic perform
ance of Robertson's "Caste" was given at
the Dnquesne Theater yesterday afternoon.
The play has not been seen in Pittsburg tor
manv years, more 's the pity, "for it is one
of the best of its class. It is essentially
English in every way, in locale, in char
acter and morality, and the last element is
lar weightier than our play wrights care for
in these davs The ethical truth it illus
trates cannot be better told than in Tenny
son's couplet:
Kind hearts are more jhan coronets
And simple taith than Norman fclooa.
Th.ro ; nniis snnnh nride ot caste in
America to make the lesson it teaches ap
plicable here. .
The Manola-Mason company did justice to
the play. John Mason has the happy
facultv of being manly and reposeful at one
and the same time, and the young guards
man who marries a virtuous ballet girl and
sticks to her through thick and thin, is just
the sort of character he is happiest in. The
nice little dancer was daintily handled by
Miss Manola, although, as might be ex
pected, the characterization had little fin
ish in detail. She was at her best in the
connubial love-passages, which were em
phasized in a way Mr. and Mrs. Kendal
would heartilv approve. Of course Miss
Annie M. Clark was admirable as the
hauehtv patrician mother, a part in which
,;. .if;httni nrrUt triumphed first many
vears ago. The sharp, contemptuous accent
upon the annihilating dismissal of the Eccles
family lrom any possible scheme of exist
ence," was in itself a superb morsel of art.
Miss Hattie E. Schell brought out a gooM
deal of the humor in the historic character
of Polly Ecdes. It is not her lault that she
departs from the strictly English idea of
the character to some extent. Edward P.
Temple's strict adherence to the Cockney
tvpe made Miss Sehell's American soubret
tisms more noticeable. Miss Schell was
charming, however, and she gave that
pretty little reminiscence of the ballet with
which the warrior's return is veiled t the
play's conclusion with exquisite feeling and
hysterical force. Mr. Temple perhaps over
Englished himself, but he was very funny.
The character of EccUt is an exaggera
tion at best, and as we think a
far too prominent figure in the play, es
pecially at the last when his brutal drunken
outrages blur and blemish the pathos ot the
picture. Mr. McWade did not tone down
any of the inebriate's extravagances, but it
was a strong character sketch. Mr. Booth
as the blase guardsman with a warm heart
under his dandified manners, was studiously
correct and conventional.
Miss Manola sang a ballad and a lullaby
very prettilv. The large audience nine
tenths ladies took a great interest in the
real live babv that lay for a minute in Mr.
Mason's anus and then flew buck with un
disguised relief to Miss ScbelL The com
pany was called before the curtain at the
end of act two.

NEWS OP THE GREAT LABOR WORLD
A FREE MAN AGAIN.
Ex-Market Clerk Hastings, of Allegheny'
Was Yesterday Released From JalL
David Hastings, the ex-market clerk of
Allegheny, is a free man once more. Yes
terday morning at 6 o'clock he walked out
of the jail. At the door he was met by his
son, David Hastings, Jr. Little conversa
tion passed between the two. The father
and son warmly grasped each others hand,
and their eyes "told of a world of love and
feeling. They walked out to Fifth avenue
and over to the Union depot. There the
ex-market clerk took the train for Indiana.
His wife is there, and he has gone to spend
a couple of months in the country. Mr.
tt...:-.i Inliip. !a imcattlpfl And it IS
nasiiut;B ,u.v . w--.w-, ...
likely that he will never dabble in politics
aiain.
, Warden McAleese was sorry to see Mr.
Hastings go. He said that he never had a
prisoner who was so obedient as the ex-market
clerk. Mr. Hastings was a carpenter by
trade, and did much work while in jail..
The oflense he spent eight months in jail
for is well known. He was oneof Alle
gheny's officials to be found wantingwben
the famous auditing committee investigated
his affairs. The shortage in his accounts
was said to be due more to bad bookkeeping
than a desire to rob the city.
WOULDN'T CHANGE A 810.
A Street Car Conductor's Treatment of a
Lady VTho Offered a B1IL
As the conductor, of car No. 6 of the
Southside line was collecting fares on a
trip to the city yesterday afternoon, he was
proferred a $10 bill by a lady with the re
mark: "I am very sorry to offer this to
you, but it's all I have."
The conductor looked at her in one of
those pleasant ways that can only be ac
quired by being in the public's service on a
traction " road and said, at the same time
reaching for the bell cord to stop the car;
"Well, you'll get off and get it changed."
To sav the lady was surprised is putting
it mildly. She looked around confused
a time and then turned to a gentleman for
next to her and asked for the loan ot a
nickle. All this time the car had stopped,
with the conductor holding on the bell rope,
waiting lor the nickle. The fare was paid
and the car proceeded on its way to town.
LOCKED TIP THE MAIL.
Deputy Sheriffs Have to Give Way Before
Uncle Sam.
John Murphy yesterday issued an execu
tion against A." I. Murphy, proprietor of
the Hotel Albion, on Liberty tsreet, for
54,089 75. The writ was at once placed in
the hands of the Sheriff and deputies closed
the hotel and took possession.
When the deputies had locked up the
place a letter carrier wanted to get in to
get the letters out of a mail box that was
inside. The deputies would not let him in
and he so reported to Colonel Hudson at
the Postoffice. Colonel Hudson at once
sent men np and the doors were opened and
letter box and all taken, out.
While the coal miners' strike is occupy
ing the attention of the coal operators they
are" taking advantage of the present lull in
business and making the most of the shut
down. The end of the strike they consider
as not far oi This has led the operators
to unite more closely, as wnen they went
into the present struggle they agreed to
stand together to the end, and the progress
made so far has met their expectation.
Thinking that by uniting to control the
local coal market would prove as
advantageous, a scheme has been
nut nn fnnt that promises to result
in a gigantic combine of all the towboat
owners and coal operators in Pittsburg and
alone the Mononcahela river. This move
has been under advisement for some time,
but it is only within the past few days that
much interest has been manifested or any
steps taken to unite all the coal interests.
For the past week, however, secret meet
ings of the leading coal operators have been
held daily in the Coal Exchange building,
and the organization is now almost com
plete. Millions to B Invested.
It is understood that $400,000 will be the
incorporated capital, and that all the coal
companies will go into the combine. Sev
eral of the smaller concerns still refuse to
cast their lot with the new syndicate, but
liberal offers have beeu made and all who
refuse to unite will be bought out so that
the syndicate will nave no inuepeuucui,
companiei to cut their rates.
The intention is to have a-complete mo
..n.inrihnol Irmlc in Pittsburtr. Alle-
gheny, Homestead and McKeesport and all
the towns along the Ohio river as far down
as East Liverpool, and up the Monongahela
and Youghiogheny rivers to the head
of navigation. The plans are be
ing carefully laid ana a compact
organization perfected. At the meet
ing yesterday afternoon much pro
gress was made, and before the end of the
week it is thought the organization will
have been completed.
F. M. Jenkins, of the firm of T. M.
Jenkins & Co., whom it is rumored will be
the refcident of the new syndicate, was
seen yesterday. When the subject was men
tioned, he was inclined to keep the matter
secret- He sdmitted that such a move was
on foot, but that the deal was not far enough
along to .have made an application lor a
charter. Continuing, he said: "It is a
repetition of what has been tried heretofore
several times, but without success. About
two years ago a similar syndicate was
formed. The companies refused to live up
to the agreement, and after struggling along
for about six months it was disbanded.
Guided by Past Experience.
"We have the past experience to guide
us in this undertaking and the former mis
takes need not be repeated. The com
panies represent so many interests that it is
next to impossible to get them to w ork to-
"The competition of the railroads has
driven us to this and we will unite, provid
ing we can get all the compares to come
Into the new syndicate. Several of them
are objecting, and say they would sooner do
business on an independent basis. -I
will not say what the incorporated capi
tal will be, as various sums have
been sugeested, and there were some differ
ences ot opinion on this point When the
new company has been formed, its trade
u ill be confined to the local markets. There
has been too much cutting of lates among
the tow boat and coal companies that none
can make money, so that something will
have to be done. Each company is so jeal
ous of every other that one will no: make
known its rates to the other. The interested
parties are in earnest, and it now looks like
- ...
The two companies who are said to be
most interested are T. M. Jenkins & Co.
and Charles Jutte & Co. These concerns
control and own most of the boats and do
the bulk of the towboat coal business in
and around Pittsburg. There are about 25
other coal companies that supply the local
river trade, but their "business is scattered,
and each one does business on a much
smaller scale. It is said the amount of
stock has already been decided upon, and
each company has subscribed lor shares.
Steel Company held a meeting In their hall
at 10 o'clock yesterday, but nothing was
done to affect the present condition of the
strike. After the meeting the men ex
pressed themselves as firm as ever. In the
afternoon many of the Advisory Board
came to the Amaleamated Association head
quarters, but nothing new was developed.
The mills were running as usual, and the
manager stated that they were doing better
work each day. No trouble was experienced
with the machinery, as no breaks have oc
curred for some time. The companyhas
all the men it wants, and all the positions
are full.
CON TE ACT HE ABLY COMPLETED.
The Carnegie Company urmsuins mo
Iron for the Chicago Elevated.
The using of wood in the construction of
the new elevated railroad at Chicago, gave
.rise to the rumor that the Carnegie Steel
Company had lost the contract through the
labor troubles. As the contract is one of
the largest ever let it caused a deal of com
ment, as it would have entailed the loss ot
thousands of dollars by the firm.
After denying the rumor Secretary Love
joy said yesterday that there had been no
trouble in filling the contract, and that the
,rrii..iirnl iron for the road was being fur
nished without hindrance. He said the
Carnegie Steel Company considers the
Btrike'as a thing ol the past, and expect no
more trouble. Most of the iron for the
Chieago elevated road is being turned out
at the Lawrenceville mills, the contract
would soon be completed and that the work
had been satisfactorily performed by the
non-union men. There had been 300 tons
of 12-inch channel iron made at the Phoenix
ville mills, as the Carnegie Company could
not turn out the work when wanted some
time ago. They have been working on the
contract since April.

MUST HOT LEAVE THE MILL.
An Order Issued at the lawrenceville Mills
to Bestraln the Men.
Manager Dillonof the Twenty-ninth and
Thirty-third street mills, has issued an
order forbidding the men to leave the mills
during working hours, except for meals.
This was done to break up the practice of
going into the town to get a arm wnenever
they felt like it For some time most of
the petty quarrels between the union and
non-union nlen have occurred during these
trips, and it was this that led to the order.
Manager Dillon expressed himself very
forcibly on the subject yesterday, saying he

THE nSTJAL CAB FAMIHE,
Colonel W. P. Bend Says Coal Shipments
Are Being Badly Delayed.
Colonel W. P. Bend, the Chicago coal
operator, put up at the Monongahela House
yesterday. He says shipments are being
delayed "by the great scarcity of cars. He
thinks the resumption of work in the mills
makes the car famine worse in Pittsburg
than it otherwise would have been. Orders
piled up during the summer, and now the
manufacturers are anxious to deliver prod
ucts as fast as possible. In addition
the cnuntrv has grown, and the general
volume of business is larger. The railroads
haven't kept pace. The Colonel does not
blame the companies lor they are doing the
Dest tnev can.
Speaking of the coal trade for the year,
he says it is too early to furnish figures.
He is of the opinion that the output will
not be as large as it was last season.
THE BEAVEB FALLS MILLS.
The Company May Start Them Up irthe
People Keep the Peace.
The officials of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany are considering the advisability of
starting up the mills at Beaver Falls. The
recent action of the citizens of that town in
nfferiniT to assist in preventing trouble
should the works be started, has brought
the matter more lavoraDiy to vne mkuuuu
ol the managers and the question will like
ly be decided within a few days.
Secretarv Lovejoy said last evening: "The
Beaver Falls mills have been considered by
the'eompany as not worth fighting for, and
as long as there was any prospect oftrouble
in starting them up nothing would be done.
The citizens seemed to be willing to assist
the company in keeping order and this may
induce the company to do something. Any
wav they will not be in, operation oy me
firs't of next month. However, the company
will have to be assured that no trouble will
occur or nothing will be done."
The Elevator Was Unsafe.
The CoV'oner yesterday .held an Inquest
into the death of John Kreiling, killed at
Bissell's stove foundry, Allegheny. The
jury found that the firm was negligent in
not having proper elevator service lor their
employes.

EXPOSITION
FIANOS AND ORGANS
AT A SACRIFICE.
The long-expected ballot list came from
Harrisburg yesterday. The Sheriff and
County Commissioners each received a
copy. A. L. Tilden, who is doing Secre
tary Harrity's work while the Secretary is
steering the Democratic party's barque in
New York, sent the list His letter says
the list is correct, but uncertified and in
complete, there being no Congressional
nominees upon it A lull certmcate cant
be given until the Acheson-Jobes case is
decided in the Dauphin county court The
list contains all the names aside from the
Congressional candidates except that of
Eobert Anderson, of Harrison township,
who filed nomination papers as an Inde
pendent Republican candidate for the Leg
islature. Under the law his name can't go
on the ticket because no prefix is permissi
ble to the name of any regular party.
Printers Begin Their Work.
Sheriff McCleary has already ordered the
printers to go ahead with the printing of
election notices. The Commissioners have
furnished the printers with the list of can
didates that they may have as much time as
KMiihl. in anttinrr tin tile tVPC The ticket
cannot be printed nntil the certified list
comes. It is expected here to-morrow, and
may possibly come to-day.
A hearing was had before Judge Slagle
yesterday on the application of the directors
of the Morse school, Twenty-fifth ward, to
restrain the Commissioners from fitting up
a room in the school for a polling place. J.
S. Ferguson appeared for the school
directors, and County Solicitor Geyer for
the Commissioners. Mr. Ferguson claimed
that the tearing up of the seals necessary to
make room for the election paraphernalia
would be an abuse of the school property,
and that the room could not be used for
several days, thus interfering with the
-.U....1. .i. i.n th. Artrtnrn liftd the rifirht
to refuse to allow the use of the school prop
erty ior mat purpose
The Judge Reserves His Decision.
Mr. Geyer contended that the polling
place had been fixed by law, and the Com
missioners had no right to change it It
had long been used as a polling place and
the directors had no right to change it The
school property would not be abused, as
the Commissioners would bear the expense
of making the alterations, and would re
place everything in good.condition.
Judge Slagle said he thought the school
house the proper place for polling places;
but as changes in the room would oe neces
sary in this case, there was a question
about it "
After discussing section 19 of the Baker
ballot act authorizing the Commissioners to
rent suitable rooms or construct temporary
ones for polling places, the Judge said he
would not decide the matter hastily. He
took the papers and reserved his decision,
though he added that the Commissioners
could be prepared to erect a temporary
structure in case the decision was against
them.

the Central Hotel. The Captain is an
anti-Acheson man, and he thinks
the latter can't possibly be elected
to Congress. He is convinced
it is the intention to drop Jobes from the
official ballot, but he says that won't help
Acheson's chances in the least If this is
done the indications are that the independ
ent Republicans in the district, or rather
the bolters of the regular ticket, will vote
straight for Sipe.
