A LITELT TIME AT CENTEAL STATION
An encasement between the police and
the Salvation Army occurred yesterday.
The hostile lorces met at Market street and
Tilth avenue, the blue coat under command
of Superintendent O'Mara. Ensign, with
the rank of Adjutant, Heald was in charge
of the Army, which had massed in the mid
dle of Market street in the presence of near
ly a thousand non-combatants.
At the first attack the Army retreated in
good order, without the loss of anything
but its temper. At Fifth and Liberty
streets a rally was made. The blue coati
followed up their advantage and charged a
eecond time. Although outnumbered 8 to
2, with Captain Denniston in command,
Superintendent O'Mara having retired,
they were ictorious, capturing the Army
nnd hauling it off to Central station in the
patrol wagon. Immense excitement ensued.
Pive hundred people followed the
jprisoneri to the Oat alley prison,
watched them being unloaded from the
' wagon and placed behind the bars. For
two hours afterward a large crowd lingered
around waiting tor the Salvation warriors
to reappear, but a ?30 forfeit for each
soldier was required and there was not that
much in the whole party.
Stopped by Chief Brown's Order.
The arrest ol the Salvationists was the
result of an order issued by Chief Brown.
For 12 weeks the Soufhside corps of the
Army has been marching over to this side of
the river every Sunday afternoon and with
a bass drum, snare drum, cornet and two
tambourines lor music, lias proceeded along
Smithfield street and Fifth avenue to the
Liberty Street M. E. Church. The "V. a
T. U. has been encouraging the army and
t the church some big meetings have been
ld. To draw a crowd the army has made
. iirsctlCe of stopping on the street and
holding prayer and son? meetings. Fart of
the crowd, which sometimes numbers 1,000,
generally followed them to the church.
Chief Brown had his attention called to
the matter a week ago by business men and
others complaining of the blockade on the
streets downtown. Orders nere issued that
the street meetings must cease. Superin
tendent O'Mara was instructed to notify
the army that its meetings must be held
either in a hall, church or vacant lot so as
not to impede public travel. The Superin
tendent with Captain Denniston and Lieu
tenant Gallant followed the Army down
Fifth avenue yesterday afternoon. It con
sisted of 16 persons, five of whom were
women. The noise of the drums and the
cornet attracted much attention, the street
TTohig filled with people out to enjoy the
beautiful day, and the moment the Army
stopped it was surrounded by at least 530.
Carried Off In a Patrol Wacon.
The noisy devotions had not proceeded
far until the Police Superintendent came
tip and notified Adjntaut Heald to move
his Army on. The order was obeyed, the
crowd proceeding to Liberty and Fifth
streets, a block away from the church of
their destination, where they stopped again.
Captain Denniston and Lieutenant Gallant
followed them down. "When the Army
stopped and began to sing the officers called
the patrol wagon.
Just as the Army, with its discordant ac
companiment, was in the midst of "I Be
lieve We Shall "Win," the waon arrived,
and the whole party was invited to take a
ride. "With many complaints and mild im
ations on the officers, the soldiers
. e. .into the wagon and were quietly
Wij ed to the Oak alley station.
"The women were placed in the coi.iort
sble sitting room on- theisccond floor. They
cried a little at first, but finding their sur
roundings so agrceabls s'oon dried their
tears and getting down on their knees began
to pray lor their persecutors, the police
The men were placed in cells, several in A
cell. In a fer moments the station rival -d
Bedlam. The men in each cell began to
shout and sing and pray. The noise tAwy
created was something feariul. The old
soaks in the other cell were wakened up
by it and raised their voices in profane re
buke at being aroused lroin their slumbers.
Adjutant Ilcald Was Indignant.
For two hours the din was kept up. Then
tae soldiers quieted down,, exhausted, and
erc interviewed by the reporters. Adju
tant Heald had just' arrived in the city from
Omaha, last Friday, to take charge of the
army corps in this city. He was indignant
over the arrest, claiming it was unjust and
that it Superintendent O'Mara had told
l.im meetings were not to be held on the
street be would not have stopped the second
Captain Edward White, of 2131 Carson
street, was in charge of the corps before
Adjutant Heald's arrival. His wile was
also a member of the party. Both are
joung, not over 27. White declared that
everv one of the soldiers would go to jail
rather than pay a fine, saying, "we are
leady and willing to go to jail lor Jesus."
This sentiment was joined in by all bis
companions. White plays the cornet in
the Salvation Band. William Havens, the
basB drummer, declared he was a "blood
and fire soldier." He is only 18 and lives
on Harrison street.
John Bellamy, one of the Homestead
strikers, is a member of the army and wears
a red jacket Fred Fospishil, of Allegheny,
figures in the army as the "Saved Anarch
ist," and plavs the bass drum. He is only
24 and hails from Cleveland. Bichard
Bradley, aged 43, is another Homesteader
who belongs to the captured army.

POLICE OUTWITTED.
They Visit a Speak-Easy, but tho Proprie
tors Are In Hiding When tho Police
Leave, tho Law-Breakers Slake Their
Escape.
Seven small boys residing in the vicinity
of Sheridan avenne and Rodman street dis
covered a speak-easy in their neighborhood
yesterday afternoon. They at once reported
the matter to sub-Officer Wilson. The lat
ter, anxious to make an arrost which would
bring him in tho line or promotion, lost no
time in tcporting the circumstances known
to his sergeant.
The Sergeant instructed him to visit the
place immediately and take another offlcor
with him. Poiicemnn Quinn was the one
selected to aid in raiding the unlicensed sa
loon. After dodging throuch unfrequented
streets and making mysterious surveys
from various corners, tho two patrolmen
finally leached a suspicious looking one
story frame hous-e in tho Tear ot Jo. 6021
Kodman street. There were no windows in
the front of the building, and It was a com
paratively easy matter for the officers to ap
proach the place unouservea.
Securing a good position in close proxlm
itv to tho alleged speak-easy tho two
officcis alternately applied thelrears to u
convenient looking knot hole lu the side of
the building apparently In order to secure
sufficient evidence to warrant an arre.
The evidence was not forthcoming, and
after wasting several moro minutes in try
ing to find someone connected with the es
tablishment, tney entered tne nouse, .w
COil Kodman street. Here they had no bet
ter luck, the proprietors of tho opeak-casy
having suddenly disappeared. The police
men were finally obliged to return to the
station house emntv handed.
Hardly had they turnod a neighboring cor
ner wncn tne neau oi a coioreu man w
poked cautiously ont of a small window In
the loft of a stable close by. After carefully
viewing the surroundings tne head was
withdrawn and the owner disappeared from
sicht. A few minutes afterward three col
ored men made their nppearance at tho door
of the stable. Under tne arms of two of tho
men were bundles from which the necks or
several bottles protruded. Making sure that
thev were not observed the trio carefully
made their way to an alley In the rear of the
stable and disappeared from view.

A Midnight Lunch to Be Set for Flection

FEATURES OP THE HOSPITAL FAIR
The transformation of the gaunt, ramb
ling old postoffice building into a fancy fair,
wherein all is bright and pretty," has been
an arduous task. That it has been a com
plete one will be seen this evening, when
the Ladies' Aid Society of the Southside
Hospital throws open the doors of the edifice
for the second annual fair for the benefit ot
the hospital. For two months and more
the ladies have been working to remove all
traces of the former use of the building,
and replacing the furniture of Uncle Sam
with the delicate devices that will delight
the eyes ot the visitors to the fair this week.
The lock boxes, stamp windows and other
distinctive features ot a postoffice have all
been taken away, and in their stead are
gaily decorated booths, long tables set with
snowy cloths and twiuklingglass and silver,
while the loyal red, white and blue bnnting
is hung and festooned on the walls, destroy
ing all suggestions of the official bareness
that is a characteristic of buildings devoted
to public business.
The main door is at the corner of Smith-

field street and Fifth avenue. Upon enter
ing the first things that meet the eye are
two booths occupying the places of the big
desks that were used by the public in the
corridor in the postoffice days. They are
fancifully made and covered with yellow
and white Yeddo cloth, one being devoted
to the sale of lemonade and the other to
candy, while lower down in what was the
corridor, near the door of the Superinten
dent of Mail's department, is a cigar booth
of orange and red. Tne rest ot the main
hall will be used as, a dining room with
supply tables and kitchen in the rear.
Strong Appeals to Eejlcato Appetites.
There are really three dining rooms, nil
connected, communicating by arched door
ways, and containing 1G long tables, which
will seat hundreds oi people at a time.
When the tables are all set they will pre
sent an artistic and appetizing appear-

once, since each manager, with her bevy
of aids, will seek to make her table worthy
of tho company in which it finds itself.
Flowers will be plentiful on the tables, and
the beautiful chrysanthemum will do duty
nzain as it has in the past, no floral decora
tions being perfect without tho aid of this
favorite blosom. There aro six supply
tables, on which will be heaped food and
utensils for the tables. There will be a num
ber of ladies In charge of these supply
tables, and the arrancemonts are such that
things will bo handed away from tne supply
tables as fast as they are needod, thus pre
venting any cxasperatliis waits tor hunry
men who have come in for dinner. The
kitehen has a number of ranees and otljer
kitchen appliances, so that the ladies will
have everything at hand that they may need
in their w ork.
The room at tho lower end of the build
ing, next to City Hall, w Inch was used as
the money order department, nnd later by
tho customs authorities, has been turned
Intoarciulargreenliotise. It looks like a
bit of forest transplanted in the heart of
tho city. Tho walls aro lined with pino
branches and twig', with autumn leaves in
matted confusion, while tho ceiling is simi
larly decorated. At each end of the room
is a hard-wood mantol, with a mirror nbove,
which reflects the beauties of an almost end
less perspective.
A Dainty Temple for riora.
Almost In the center of the loom is a large
circnlar booth, twined and intertwined with
pine, mosses and many-colored autumn
leaves. The floor, to carry out tho forot
Idea, is coveied with tanbark, up which Is
loosely stiewn a carpet of autumn loaves.
The windows nio hung witu dainty white
lace curtains. This is the flower and fruit
room, and theso essentials of a bazaar will
be dispensed by pretty vnung girls, each of
whom might stand for Flora herself.
The second floor of tho building has been
tho subject of a sreat deal of attontton nnd
artistic labor. Tho lutndlu ork of the ladles

In another room, which Is really one of
the most striking of all, are nil the arrange

There are two small cottages, communicat

Yeddo cloth of yellow. In these cottages
will be served tea and cakes to visit on.
The whole room Is draped in tho Uussian
colors of orange and black.
One room is set apart for tho. use of gen

Cigars are fo'r salo thero, and tho dally

The Japaneso room is gaudy with fans,

as always distinguish a place tbat is sup

In a tiny corner room is a dainty booth
that wears tho modest title, "common

looped up with silver cords, which aie

Curiosity to soe howTthoroughly the post
office has been transformed into a fair will
no doubt attract many who would hardly
think about it were It in any other building,
although tho desire to help n worthy ooject
would Insure the attendance of the masses
to a place far less beautiful.
At inidnlsht to-morrow a special lunch

HUGH 0'DOXNEIiL DEFEXD3 THE TARIFF
The headquarters of both parties were
practically deserted yesterday. The Re
publican doors were locked while a lew peo
ple lingered in the old county building
where the Democracy now makes its place
of rendezvous. The workers were either at
home resting for the arduous duties of
Tuesday or were in the districts putting in
the finishing campaign touches. So. far as
the politicians are concerned the Sabbath
was quiet and uneventful, The Repub
licans seemed to have nothing to fear and
the Democrats were hopeful, as usual. It
is their normal condition and an elementary
part of their make up.
Among the visitors at the Democratic
headquarters were County Commissioner
Dennis J. Boyle and Secretary KTaus. The
latter was busy fixing up the books and ar
ranging accounts tor the Financial Com
mittee, which meets after the election. It
was the first Sunday that he had visited
headquarters, and he remarked it was the
only time he had to look after the ledgers.
Discounting Chairman Gripp's Figures.
He had nothing to say, except to state
that Chairman Gripp's figures of 21,000 as
the Republican majority in Allegheny
county are very high, and tho party wonld
do well to have 10,000 votes to sparo. The
Democrats never poll the county, but Mr.
Kiaus is satisfied with the work that has
boon done. Chairman Brennen was in
Jcannette all day, but nobody seemed to
know what ho was doing there. Ho re
turned early in the evening.
County Commissioner Boyle is greatly
pleased ovor the successful distribution of
tho sample tickets. Tlio lile ot the Commis
sioners has not been cast in pleasant places
lately, and they will he glad when the Baker
ballot elephant is off their hands. It has
been partially removed already. Under the
law the distributors nre lequired to send in
receipts from the election boards of dis
tricts to show that the ballots weie dellv
oied. ilr. Boyle says some of the leccipts
have been leceived, and he expects to hear
from all pans of the county on Monday. Up
to date there have been no complaints, ami
as far as can bo learned the work has been
attended to. To expedite matters the Com
missioners contracted with the same people
to distribute all the ballots, the samples on
Satuiday and the official tickets on Monday,
How the Distribution Was Accomplished.
In the outlying districts the Job was given
to one trustwoithy person who looked after
a town or a township. '1 he sample ballots
wero shipped to these people Fiiday night,
and eaily Saturday uioinlng all concerned
weie ready lor the distribution. The Pitts
burg Transfer Company took cnarge of
Allegheny. The tickets were delivered to
them on Friday at the court house. They
used coveied wagons, and put them under
guaid in their stables duung the night. In
Pittsburg tho work was divided among a

Democratic Prospects In the County.
Concerning Democratic prospects in Alle
gheny county Commissioner Bojle said: "I
reallybelieve that we will elect Slpe.Sneeand
Pougherty. Tho feeling on the Southside
is very good, nnd if peoplo mean what they
iay then Sneo will be successful. I know it
is said that the latter is being w orked, but
this is to bo expected in a hot fight. My
opinion Is tho Kepubllcans will do well to
have 10,000 of a majority in the county, and
it they cet 15,0001 will be surpiised. I base
my hope on the attendance at Democratic
meetings. Tho time was when we couldn't
laUe a corporal's guaid in splto of ulLour
efforts, and we had to use brass bands to
get a ciowd, but this year we had notiouble
to securo audiences. At overy meeting wo
held there was an ovei flow. As for James
Breen, I think he will cut down Dalzell's
majority. The Delamater Republicans won't
vote for him, and there aro others who real
ize the only w ay they can advance is by
knocking the props from under the little
Congressman. Mark my word, Jim Bieon
will suipiise a good many people. In bine's
district the Prohibition vote will ceitainly
not como from the Democrats,nnd Campbell
Jobes, the preacher, will have a good lol
lowing that will reduce the ltopublican
strength. Taking all these influences into
consideration, I look for a big cut in the
ltopublican vote in tho county."
AVaiting for Word From Quay.
Up to date the irionds of Senator Q.iay in
Pittsburg have rofrained lrom betting to
any extent. It was learned yesterday from
a man close to the Senator that he had ad
vised his people to hold off until thoy could
hear from him. Tho Beaver statesman,
w hile a good deal of a plunger, is not as
reckless as many fondly imagine, and ho is
taking his time to thoroughly post himself
on tho situation boloio ho advises others
how to place their money. This docs not
mean that he is aftaid ot Harrison
being beaten, but ho is anxious that
none of hixadmiieis bhould lose money on
any pointers ho might give. The Senator
has asked for time up to 10 o'clock this
morning beroro ho delivers hlsfinalopinion.
It is undoistood tint he will give the word
to his friends by telegraph not later than
the hour inentlonod to-day. It is expected
that when the fcn.uor !. heard fiom there
won't he a cent oi Democratic money in Al
legheny county left uncovered.
Tho tendency of Republican betting Is up
ward, and tho main reason why local Re
publicans have been apparently so indiffer
ent nnd the Democrats so nnlsy in this
hlufflngis that the Beaver man did not care
to nlvo a hasty opinion.
GOING H6HE TO VOTE.
The Hotel Business Will Bo Dull Until tho
1-lection Is Oi er.
The hotel corridors were rather lonesome
yesterday, and there wcie not many names
on tho register?. Business men aro going

publican prospects have improved very
much during tne week.
Of course tho drummers who represent

NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE.
Hugh O'Donncll Declares That the Out
come of tho Homestead Strike Has Ha
Bearing Upon tho Tariff Free Trade
the Enemy of the American Working
men. Hugh O'Donnell, Chairman of the Home
stead Advisory Board, now in jail awaiting
trial for treason, murder and riot, has writ
ten to J. J. Burke, of No. 7 East Thirty
first street, New York. In his letter O'Don
nell says:
I beg to contradict through yon, misstate
ments regarding myself and the Homestead
troubles. I have been employed for some
years by the Carnezie people, and never
bad cause to complain until an effort was
made to disrupt our organization by II. C.
Frick, the newly elected Chairman ot tho
steel company.
A number of alleged chnmpions of our
cause, who havo boen the souicuof constant
injury to us, havo been playing tho part of
the demagogue before the people or the
country, pretending that tho liomnsttad
strike was caused by the tariff. I was
always a Republican. I nas always a Pro
tectionist. I am a Republican and aPio
tectlonist to-day, stionger than over, and
although I am" in prison to-nfciht, lor tho
sakeotmyselt and my lellow worklngmen
who are interested in tne cause ot American
labor, I beg of them not to think for a
moment that protection Is not the greatest
blessing that can be bestowed upon us.
I have been a student of protection and
free trade, and If e had free trade to-morrow
we would have strikes every hourof the
day in every mill In the land, w hether we
wanted them or not, nnd opr fellow work
lngmen would be living on the same misera
ble pittance as the starving Irishmen and
Englishmen are struggling with to-dny: I
know Ii eland. I know England and I know
America, and God forbid that the conditions
which exist in the two former countries
should prevail in this country. Tlio man
who uses tho name of the Homestead work
lngmen to further the interests of the Dem
ocratic party, or to detent Piesidcnt llar
rHon, is the deadliest loe to American labor.
Tho friend or Democracy Is the friend of
lree trade; the friend of tree tiade Is the
enemy ot every wurklngman In the United
States.
LIQU0S HEN AGAINST ACHES0N.
Distillers Asked to Oppose Him Because
He Supported Prohibition.
The Achcson people claimed yesterday
that the liquor man were distributing n cir
cular in the district calling on the people to
vote against their candidate. The distillers
are asked to oppose him because his father
while Judgo refused all licenses, and during
the prohibition fight the Observer was the
only paper lu Washington that supported
the amendment. Mr. Acheson's backers
say they are not afraid of the liquor in

SAYS IT IS LEGAL
Mayor Kennedy Quotes a Section of tho
Law on Receiving Ballots for the Benefit
of Election Officers They Will Receive
Extra Compensation.
Mayor Kennedy, of Allegheny, has re
ceived notice from several members of the
election boards that they do not believe
that they can be compelled to handle the
bond question ballots to-morrow, and that
unless It could bo proven to them that It
was legal for them to do so they would re
fuse to receive them at the polls. They
think because tho boud ballots aro not
attached-to the regular ballot they cannot
be legally voted and counted.
Mayor Kennody replied by quoting the
folio n ias extracts from Act No.212 approved
June 9,1891: "It shall bo the duty of Inspectors
and judges of such elections to receivo tick
ets either written or printed from electors
qualified under the Constitution of this
State to vote in such district, labeled on tho
outside, 'Increase the Debt,' and containing
in tho inside the words, 'No Increase of
Debt,' or 'Debt May be Increased;' also,
briefly, tho purpose and amount ot increase,
and lotleposit said tickets in a box provided
lor that purpose, as is provided by law in
regard to other tickets received at said elec
tion, and tho tickets so received shall be
counted and a return mado to tho Clerk of
tl.e Quarter Sessions of tho proper conntv.
duly certified as Is required by law, together
with a certified copy of the ordinance and
tne advertisement."
The act mither says: "In receiving, count
ing ami making leturns of the vote cast,
the inspector", judzes and clerks of said
election shall be governed by the laws of
this Commonwealth regarding municipal
elections', and the votes shall be counted by
the court as is now provided by gOneral
laws governing municipal elections, and all
the penalties of the said election laws fur
tho violation thereof are hereby extended
to, nnd shall apply to voters, inspectors,
judges nnd dorks voting at and in attend
ance upon the elections held under the
provisions of this act." ,
Mayor Kennedy said last nigHt that com
petent men will be appointed to distribute
tickets at tho polls on Tuesday nnd that the
tickets will be distributed to those who wish
to vote against the bond issue with the same
liberality as there will be to those who wish
to vote lu favor of It.
Separate ballot boxes have been prepared
for receiving the bond issue ballots, and will
be placed alongside those piepaied for le
ceiving the regular ballots at all the polling
places in the city. The election officers will
receive oxtra pay lor handling tho bond
lsue ballots, wiilcli will be puid out of the
city treasury.

HER CRIME EXPIATE1X
Uts, Caroline Davis Lies Dead in the
Western Penitentiary.
SHE KILLED HER AGED HUSBAND
Tecanse of Ker Mad Infatuation for a liucli
lounger Han.
WASTED AWAY IN 11ER TEISON CELL
Caroline Davis, a prisoner in the Western
Penitentiary undergoing a ten years' sen
tence for the murder of her husband," died
at the institution yesterday of consumption.
She was committed on July G, 1S89.
The murder was committed in a house on
Frankstown avenue, adjoining the East
End office of the Department ot Publio
Works. William Davis, a colored cook,
who had for years been employed at New
ell's restaurant, married Carrie Palmer,
daughter of one of the best-known colored
men in the city. Soon afterward he opened
a restaurant in the house on Frankstown
aveuue. lie was 49 years ot age, and his
wife was only 29.
Xot long atter their marriage they began
to quarrel. She was quick tempered and
lost her bead completely when angry. On
the evening of January 7, 1S89, they quar
reled at the supper table. Mrs. Davis got
up and left the room In a passion. After
concluding Ills meal Davis threw himself on
a lounge and was reading a novel when his
wifo returned. Hot words passed between
them, and then without a word ot warning
shedieua revolver from her pocket and
shot him twice.
Before he expired he told tho story to
friends who bad come In after hearing tho
shots, and on their evidence she was con
victed of murder in the second degree. Tha
polico say a young lover of tho woman's was
the cause of the trouble, but tnis was not
brought out in the trial. Tnomas Marshall,
Sr., conducted the woman's defense, saving
her from first deirree murder. Hereditary
consnmption developed not long alter ner
confinement in the penitentiary, i or the
past three months her condition has been
such tnat her iriends have expected to hear
of her death every day. Coroner McDowell
will hold an Inquest thl3 morning.
