Wittenberg is ciowded with strangers. Tbe hotels and boarding houses cannot ac commodate half the people who have al leady arrived, and private families who have opened their doors already have over flowing houses. To-night thousands of peo ple w ill sleep in barns and tents. There are almost as many strangers as citizens there 'now-. asd when the excursion trams unload their passengers from all parts of the em pire, to-night and to-morroir morning, the population of tho city will have been trebled. Tbe Society for the Prevention of the Abuse of Alcoholic Liquors, at a conference J .1st concluded In Halle, passed resolutions urging the Fedoial Council and the Ilcich ktag to push through the hill for the sup pression of drunkenness. Very little hns been heard of this bill since the Emperor's ardent fancy for it has abated, and several members of the association expressed the opinion that it was being killed off slowly bv dilatory tactics. On behalf ot the Home Office, however, Piivy Councilor Jano dep recated the inference that because the bill was delayed it had been abandoned by the Government. SAVED BY A BUSH. George Glockcr Saves Ills Child's Life, but Karrowly Escapes With His Own by Going Oier a Precipice He Is Rescued VMU a Tole, GeWge Glocker, a glassblower who re eides)on South avenue, Allegheny, bad an experience yesterday that he will not for get for a long time. Glocker is a stranger here, having located in Allegheny about eix months ego. The exceptionally fine weather yesterday tempted him, and, to gether with his wife and two children, he started for a strolL In their wanderings they finally reached Monument Hill. After viewing the Ecenery for some time they concluded to return home, when they dis covered the youngest child on the verge of tbe precipice directly in the rear of the First ward schoolhouse. The hill at this point is over 100 feet high and almost perpendicular. Mr. Glocker stood lor a moment in a perfect paralysis ot fright, when suddenly realizing the perilous position of the child, he rushed lor ward and snatched it from the very edge and threw it to a place of safety. In turn ing to po back the loobe earth gave way from under his feet and he started to slide over the blull He would have been dashed to pieces on the rocks a hundred feet below had he not caught hold of a bush.

B0EN OF KONGO PAEENTS, She Was Brought to Pittsburg by Her .Wealthy While Mistress. FREED BY HER OWNER'S WILL. All Her Children Hava Crossed Before Her to the Other Shore. QUIET END TO A LONG, USEFUL LIFE Pittsburg's oldest inhabitant was buried yesterday in the person of Mrs. Margaret Donaldson, colored, better known as Aunt Peggy.' Although not a native of the city she was its oldest resident Her age was at least 112 years and probably more. She never wore classes in her life, her eye was. as bright as a young woman's, her memory as clear as it ever was and her hearing acute to an extraordinary degre. All her facul ties were as well preserved as her physical being, until within a few weeks of her death. In appearance she was small. There was not a wrinkle in her kind old face her skin was smooth, her habits were neat and clean and she took such pride in her personal appearance that she contin ually wore a small black silk cap to conceal her gray hairs. Her age was a standing joke at the Home for Aged Colored Women, where she has resided for the past ten years, visitors who did not know her invariably guessing her age at from GO to 70 years. Her activity was remarkable. Two weeks before her death, she could run up and down stairs with greater ease than any other inmate of the institution. Documentary Evidence of Her Age. Like many other old colored people, Aunt Peggy had no idea of her age. She was il literate, could neither road nor write, and her age is estimated from that given on her "Iree papers," statements she made, and events she witnessed and could remember, which occurred a century ago. Her parents were both natives of the Kongo country in Africa. She was born in slavery on the eastern shore of Maryland, and remembered her parents distinctly. Her father pre served his Kongo name of Singo, and she was known as Peggy Singo until her mar riage. One of the most interesting periods in her life was the time when a girl of 12 or 13 she was sold to Mrs. Annie Sheldon, a resident of this city. As she many times related tbe story, she was out in the little bouse lot around her father's cabin on the planta tion gathering sticks for firewood. A car riage drove up containing her owner and Mrs. Sheldon. The lady looked at her for a moment, then nodded to the gentleman beside her, who called the child to him. Not Allowed to Say Good by. She had been taught obedience to the white man's command, and when he or dered her into the vehicle she obeyed. "Without an .opportunity to say goedbv to parents, brothers or sisters, she was whirled away to Baltimore and subsequently brought to this city as Mrs. Sheldon's slave. "When she came to Pittsburg it was a wil derness. Aunt Peggy has often said one could stand on the hill where the Holy Ghost College now stands and count every house in the settlement. Her life with Mrs. Sheldon was an agreeable change to her, though she grieved for years for her people. Pennsylvania at 'that time had a law under which slaves became free at the age of 28 years, but Aunt Peggy knew nothing about it Mrs. Sheldon died in 1832. She had been married three times while Aunt Peggy lived with her and was engaged for the filth time at her death. Her last husband's name was Bowie. When she died she left a will de claring Aunt Peggy free, but requesting the family of Luke Loomis, one of the fore most men in the city at that time, to take care of her. Aunt Peggy lived with the Loomis family for ten years, when she mar ried a John Donaldson by whom she had several children. Outlived All Her Children. She has outlived them all, though all grew up to manhood and womanhood. It was through the descendants of the Loomis family, who are still living in this city, that AuntPeggy was placed in the Pome for Aged Women ten years ago, and they boun tifully cared for her until her death. One fairly reliable indication ot the old lady's age is lonnd in the certificate issued by the County Recorder conferring her freedom in accordance with the will of her mistress. The "free papers," as she called the certificate, are dated September, 1832, and describe her as being 45 years of age, but she always declared the papers were withheld from her until ten years later, and that her age was underestimated just that many years. Among her eflects since her death have been found tbe original will of her mistress, so discolored and faded by age that it is scarcely decipherable. The last ten years of Annt Peggy's life were perhaps the happiest ones. At the home on Kirkpatnck street she assumed the care ot the garden, and, being intensely fond of flowers, spent all her spare moments in their cnltivation. Until one year ago she insisted on doing nil her own washing and other work, taking great pride in tbe cleanliness of her garments and bed cloth ing. She Was Ready to Die. For SO years she was a member of the Wylie Avenue A. M. E. Church and her re ligion was uppermost in her mind. A few hours before the end she passed her hand over her forehead, on which the dew of death had already appeared. She realized and remarked it, saying she was ready. Her last request was that over her open grave the hvmn "Children ofi the Heavenly King," should be sung. Her wish was re spected at the funeral yesterday, conducted by the Bev, Dr. Asbury. - Aunt Peggy was well known and ven erated bv the colored people of the two cities. By some she was believed to pos sess a supernatural power, but by all, par ticularly those in the institution with whom she was in daily contact, she was loved for her bright, cheery and happy disposition. Her death is keenly felt by them all. One Speak-Easy Iess. Last night Lieutenant Waggoner closed up the alleged speak-easy of Blanche Mo Cnrrv at 25 Third avenue.

The Citizens Industrial Party Formally Or ganizedMen to Be Supported for Office , Without Bespect to Party One Quality Necessary-Resolutions Adopted. The third meeting of the Citizens' Indus trial party, held In Odd Fellowi Hall, Soutbside, yesterday afternoon, was the best attended and most enthusiastio meet ing yet held. Delegates from nearly all labor organizations in the county were in ttendanoe. Politics was the chief subject of discussion, and the movement started by the American Flint Glass Workers has de veloped such strength that it promises to have a marked effect on local politics. As time was ao short little effort was made to do anything at the present election, but it is the intention to keep up the agitation and get into working order for the spring elec. tioni ' The policy punned is to support none but labor candidates. A large part of the time yesterday was taken up In indorsing certain candidates for the coming election. As the names were mentioned, warm debates resulted. Many expressed much hesitancy in taking any step that would pledge the workmen en gaged In the movement to any definite plan of action. The reason advanced was that they had no time to prepare for a fight, and if their candidates were defeated it would put a quietns on the movement, and dis courage all hope for future efforts. John A. Snee was not indorsed, as he was not a member of any labor union. The following were officially indorsed and every means is to be employed to secure their election, being considered safe as labor candidates: Jerry Doherty, Democrat for Senate in tbe Forty-second district; T. J. McGonnell, PeopIe"'s party, for Congress in the Twenty-second district; Jerome Agin, People's party candidate, Twenty-fourth Congressional district; Thomas Grundy, Socialist-Labor candidate tor Congressman at large; Patrick Joyce, Democrat for As sembly in the Fifth district; David Lynch, Democrat, in the Sixth district; Gustav Henning, Democrat, Fourth district, and Rudolph Hunsicker in the Third district The Executive Committee recommended that a permanent organization be effected, which was adopted. It was decided to elect the officers at the meeting to be held next Sunday at the same place, but in the concert halL The following resolution was unani mously adopted: Recent events must have Impressed all reasonable men with the fact that the pres ent system ot labor organization alone is not sufficient to give us the fair play and protection wnich we Qs citizens deserve. A'o man can deny that capital is organizing upon entirely new lines. These efforts in combining into vast syndicates, trusts, otc, have enabled them to concentrate into the hands of a favored few tbe greater part of the wealth or the nation. This condition of affairs warns us of the dancer at hand,wnlch is that capital at present is corrupting and controlling municipal. State and Federal legislation. Such dangerous abnses must be met by labor organized for political purposes. Therefore, we, tbe members of the Citizens' Industrial Alliance of Western Pennsyl vania, do pledge ourselves to create a co operative spirit of political unity among the industiial classes, and to bo no longer di vided politically, such as voting to support men nnd parties who in the past have ob tained our suffrages upon a system of lalse pretense. FOEEST PIBES 8U35IDINO. The Calm of Yesterday Makes It Easy to Confine the Blaze. Findlay township forest fires are now under control, and Jeffreystown is safe. The winds fell Saturday night and all day yesterday it was calm. This helped the people to extinguish the blaze. As soon as the breezes subsided the fire was confined to certain limits, and last night it was only smouldering. There were other fires in the woods along tbe Montour Bailroad, but they did not amount to much. The only damage done was to fences. SNAP SHOTS AT LOCAL SEWS.

TWO PREDICTIONS ABOUT INDIANA This is a street cornej and newspaper campaign. The public is not shouting much on either side, but is doing a heap of reading and thinking. People apparently are not taking much interest in polities, yet the issues of the Presidental contest are about the only subjects diseussed just now on the streets, m the depots and lob-" bies of the hotels. , Last evening au nnusual soene was en acted in the Seventh Avenue Hotel. A few commercial men got into a debate about the tariff, and the contest became so spirited that soon a large crowd gathered around the speakers. The aftalr developed into a small-sized political meeting, in which all-present took a hand. The music commenced about 6 o'clock and continued fbr more tban four hours. As tbe drum mers got tired of .one position they would move to another part of the corridor. Discussing the Effect of TariiC It was noticed that the Republicans in the crowd were native Americans, while the foreign born, principally the Hebrew salesmen, were Democrats. The latter wanted free trade, but when pushed to the wall could give no special reasons for a change in the economic system of the country. The Republican side was ably represented by a long-whiskered man who was well posted on most lines of business. Somebody asked why higher duties had not kept up the price of wool. He promptly explained that wool had dropped 13 cents in England and 2 cents in America. The tariff had saved the home farmers a cut of 11 cents per pound. In Canada the best of the product sells for 17 cents, but in the United States wool brings from 26 to 28 cents. It is remarkable what keen interest the commercial men are taking in the election. W. Johns, an Englishman by birth, a Can adian by residence and a" New Yorker by business connections, put up at the Mo nnngahela House yesterday. He is a'Ee pubtican and believes Harrison will be re elected. -Mr. Johns had just received a letter from a friend across tbe border who implored him if he had any love for old Canada to work for the success ot Cleve land. Canada Wants Cleveland Elected. The writer stated that the Canadian farm ers were in sore straits and their only sal vation is a victory for the Democratic party. The McKinley tariff has shut them ont from the rich markets of the States and it leaves them in a bad plight "I am an American now," continned Mr. Johns, "and a Eepublican for the very reasons given by my friend why I should become a Democrat. It is the duty of a people to look after its own first The up shot ot the American policy ot protection will be that Canada will be annexed to the United States. It 1s coming and coming very fast It isn't natural that a narrow river and a chain of lakes should divide North America, and line of custom houses should check trade along the border. For myself Canada can't be annexed too soon to please me. Annexation would wipe out the French party in the Dominion, and i e are all tired of the Frenchman in politics. The party has one-third of the voters and practically controls tbe elections. Thev have been pandered to and badly spoiled.1' A VALUABLE TEEE BTJINBD. Judge Bufflngton Too Gallant to Collect a Fine From Two Girls. ' Judge Buffington (ells agood story on him self. When he was quite a young man he planted a tree that grew to be a thing of beauty, and he prized it highly. He iratched it carefully, and it soon became one of the most attractive trees in Kittanning. One day last summer the Judge's hired man discovered an old and dilapidated horse eating the leaves and bark. The tree had been girdled by the animal, and its death was assured. When the Judge heard of the mischief, he was angry, and he directed the servant to hold the horse until the owner claimed it Then he got down the archives of the town to see how much ot a fine he could collect for the damage done. He found the limit was S100, and he nursed his wrath, waiting for the owner to appear. Soon afterward the Judge was informed by his hired man that somebody had come for tbe horse. With a stern expression on his face, he went out prepared to rake the owner and collect the 5100. Instead of a careless driver, as he suspected, he sighted two beautiful and buxom girls with the bloom of youth on their chubby cheeks. They said the horse belonged to them, and they had come to take it home. "What could I do," said the Jndge in telling the story. "I wouldn't collect a fine from the girls, and so I swallowed my displeasure and went into mourning for my tree." A GO-AS-YOU-PLEASE PAEADE, A Republican Demonstration in the West End Without Marshal or Aides. The West End Republican Club has re organized, with 150 members.

' Mr. Inpton Claims Pittsburg Has Been Greatly Handicapped by the Tariff Mnch Sympathy Felt for President Har rison A Talk With, a Sick Man. W. B. Lupton, the roofer, left for "Vir ginia last evening to look after his slate quarry interests. He is an ardent Demo crat and is anxious to see tariff reform vic torious. "What do yon hear politically," he began. "I am getting good news from New York and Indiana. My office la a sort of headquarters for the slate agents, and they never come to the city without calling on mdi They travel extensively, and watch the course of political events. "Last week I had a talk with a Republican agent who had been in Indiana, He was very much afraid that the State would go to Cleveland. I think that the death of Mrs. Harrison will make many sympathetic votes for the President, and Indiana may oe savea tor him. "I am very radical against the tariff. I have always'held that were it not for pro tection Pittsburg wonld be from two to three times larger. This city by reason of its natural advantages and resources would be. great under any system, but the tariff has established a lot of small towns, the iron and glass business instead of being concentrated here has been scattered and the result is that what belongs to Pittsburg goes elsewhere. I don't think the iron and glass industries here would sutler much under lower duties, but some of these minor towns that are fostered by the tariff would be hurt "I go to New England every summer, and there I meet the Eastern manufacturers. Last season I had a talk with a silk man from New Jersey who has a branch works in Harrisburg. He admitted that he wouldn't like to see the tariff on silks re moved, bnt if it was done it wouldn't ruin his business. He said by reason of improve ments in American machinery and the skill of Yankee workmen that the home manu facturers can produce a better quality of silk than the French. His employes can handle so many more looms in a day than the Frenchmen. After all the question re duces itself to the purchasing power of money. If a man makes $10 per day and it costs him $9 75 to live he is not as well off as it he got $1 and spent 75 cents of it The big wages teach him extravagance, while with less money and things cheaper in pro portion he would become thrifty and sav ing."' k .I,-- ..i- INDIANA GOING EEPUBLICAN. Editor Conner Says the Drift for 10 Days Has Deen Toward Harrison. J. B. Conner, editor of the Indiana Farmer; published at Indianapolis, was a passenger for Washington last evening. He looks like Senator Hiscock, and at the Cap itol says he is frequently taken for the New Yorker. Mr. Conner thinks that Harrison will carry his own State with a larger majority than he had in 1888. He says in the lost ten days the drift has been strong toward the President Tbe business men don't want a change, fearing it will hurt trade, aud they will vote solidly for him. The substantial people in Hoosierdom are Republicans, and all the Democratic claims are buncombe. DEATH OF SISTER AVELLIN0.

Richard Quinn and Chuck Parker had a desperate battle on tbe Southstde yester day for a bottle of whisky.

WILL GO UP HIGHER. lams' Case Sure to Be Carried to tho Supremo Court to Settle THE QUESTION OP JURISDICTION, Deep Interest Felt in the Trial by Judges and Attorneys. CLOUDS OP WITH ESSES TO TBSTIPT Whatever the verdict in tbe case ot Private lams vs Colonels Streator and Hawkins and Dr. Grimm may prove to be, and it is not likely to be reached anyhow till Wednesday or Thursday, an appeal will.be taken to the Supreme Court. The attorneys for the defense make no secret of their belief that ihe question of the juris diction of a civil court, elaborately argued as it was all dav Thursday and several hours on Friday, is by no means finally decided. Tbe record is being prepared as the case proceeds with marked care, the Court sharing in the endeavor to have every proceeding and decision set down with scrupulous nicety. The special plea, which the defense made before any evidence went to the jury, to have the indictment quashed on the score of lack of jurisdiction, was denied by Judge Porter, and judgment for tbe Common-' wealth was entered upon the plea. The ob jections which the defense have made to the Court's rulings have been noted as tbey oc curred, and they already number a dozen or so. The Course of the Defense. Of course Messrs. Buchanan, Braden, Braddocks, Sprowles, Bobbins and the other legal gentlemen who form the legal battalion protecting the defendants, do not for a moment donbt that they will estab lish such a defense as will carry conviction to the jury's minds that Mr. lams bos no grievance. What their line of defense will be has been indicated pretty clearly in the cross-examination of the prosecutor, lams, and its general dritt has been further out lined, upon good authority, in TnE Dis patch. There will be a cloud of witnesses on both sides, but the defense's list is like ly to be larger than the Commonwealth's. lams' attorneys express themselves as entirely satisfied with the progress they have made, and do not consider that lams' testimony was shaken or impaired to any considerable extent by the cross-examination to which he was subjected. They, too, have legal ammunition in reserve "if, as they do not permit themselves to believe is possible, the verdict should be adverse, and they are ready to resort to a higher court'if need be. Judge Porter has pleased both sides so far by tbe precision and deliberate character of his decisions, and even the laymen present have been able to appre ciate the absolute impartiality of the Court All the Judges Deeply Interested. If they could shut down the other courts and join Judge Porter the whole bench ot the county would be well pleased, for it is evident that the judicial mind is as open to the infection of the human 'interest In the lams' trial from the fact that Judges Earing and McClung sat with Judge Porter at the initial session, Judge Slagle dropped in for an hour on Friday afternoon, and Judge Over stayed as long as he could in the morn ing. Among the notable lawyers in court at various times since the trial began, outside those engaged in the case, were noted: Thomas A. Marshall, Major E. A. Mon tooth, R. a Petty, Colonel W. D. Moore, Mr. Elphinstone, City Solicitor of Alle gheny; F. C McGirr, Willis McCook, William Scott, T. H. Baird Patterson, George B. Gordon, P. C. Knox, T. B. Al corn, M. A. Woodward, J. McF. Carpen ter, John Robb, W. R. Blair,' William Yost, John Marrou and William M. Mc GilL Indeed, at no time during the trial havo there been much less than 100 full fledged lawyers in court, with no end of students thrown in. The county officers mostly found time to look in, and Control ler George Yon Bonnhorst patiently stood up in the crowa for a conple of hours on Friday. The military men and the Home stead delegation were the other noteworthy elements' in the big crowd. DRAWBACKS 07 ZIOQTJENCE. A Speech That Suggested a Story to a law yer in the lams' Case. There has seldom beenanch a gathering of representative lawyers 'as the lams' case drew to the Criminal Court on Friday. It was a critical audience for a young attorney to speak before, but neither numbers nor quality seemed to disturb John D. Watson when he made his opening address to the jury. The remarks heard in the court room -when he concluded were flattering to Mr. Watson. One of the attorneys for the defense tem pered his meed of praise to bis yonng adver sary by telling a story. Said "lie: "When I was a youngster at the bar the old leader with whom I had studied law gave me my first chance to address a jury. He allowed me to open a case for him. I made what I thought was a rattling good speech; for I had studied up the (acts in the case the night before and gotten some pat phrases off by heart. My good impression of my own work was strengthened by the rfpple of ap plause that went over tbe crowd in the court room as I sat down. The veteran who sat behind me didn't say a wofd, however. To give him a chance I said: 'Do yon think I made a pretty good opening?' He replied witn a snort: xes, young man, you've opened the case so blamed wide that I guess I won't be able to close itl " PLEASTJBE SPOILED BY ACCIDENT. air.

Several men were passing up the street and he notified them of his discovery. They examined the man and then sent for a doctor. An examina tion proved the man was dead. His face was bruised and cut, but the skull was not fractured and no bones were broken. It was some time before the remains were identified, and when they were they were removed to his home and the Coroner noti fied. A visit to the house failed to throw any light upon the matter.

The lot is about ten feet below the street and slopes down with a heavy grade to Forbes street. Quinn was about 47 years of age and leaves a wife and three children. An in quest will be held to-day.
