The Town Crowded With Strangers.
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

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

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

wife, seeing the condition of her husband,
slmost fainted with fright, bnt she man
aged to call to some men who were near,
ntid tl.ev rescued the husband by securing &
long pole, which they reached down to him,
arc he waj pulled to a place of 6afety.
Mr. Gloker's hands were badly lacerated by
holding to the bush, and Dr. Hinebart was
called to dress his wounds.

1MB f YEARS OLD;
Death Overtakes Aunt Peggy
" After a Pursuit of More
Than a Century.
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.

The Citizens Industrial Party Formally Or

, 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.

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.

ANNEXATION A QUESTION OF TIMK.
Commercial Travelers Ducnsa Tol'tics in
Hotel Lobbies.
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,

There will be no marshal or aides. The
West End club will lead the parade and
the other clubs will fall in in the order of

A& INDIANA CLAIMANT.' '
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.
Funeral Services to De Held at the Webster
Avenue Convent
The funeral services over the remains of
Sister Avellino, who died at the Webster
avenue convent of the Sisters of Mercy, will
be held at the institution at 9 o'clock this

taken to St. Xavier's Cemetery, at Beatty
station, for interment
Sister Avellino was almost 30 years of
age. She had been in the convent for 10
years. Death was caused by consnmption,
which first appeared three years ago, but
until about a year ago did not prevent her
following her duties as a teacher. Her last
work was the instruction of the children in
the Tannehill orphan asylum. Since last
June she has been an invalid. '
Before becoming a nun she was known as
Kate Shields. Her home was atPort Perry,
but her people now reside at Braddock,
where her brother, Charles Shields, is Su
perintendent of the electric plant at the
steel works.

Atlantic has been very stormy, and he is
afraid his family has had an unpleasant
voyage.

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 "

FELL TEN FEET TO DEATH.
John Qulnn's Body Found on Fifth Avenne
at the Foot of an Embankment A
Boy's Ghastly Discovery A Mystery
Enshrouds the Case.
John Quinn, living in the RedRow above
Fifth avenue, fell Over an enbankmznt near
his house last evening and was killed. The
circumstances of the accident could not be
learned, as no one was a witness to it
The body was discovered by Howard Jack
son, of 810 Fifth avenue. He was playing
in the vicinity of 854 Fifth avenue. The
boy started down over the bank, a distance
of abont 10 feet, and saw the man lying at
the foot of the bank. 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. No one there
had seen blm for some hours previous to his
death and could not tell whether anyone
was with him at the time of the accident or
not. The place where he was found is a va
cant lot on the lower side of Fifth avenue,
just a short distance above St. Agnes'
Church. 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.
