V 0 THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, THURSDAY, ' 'NOVEMBER 10, 1893. to the Democratic organizations of the fitnte. and tlie " eentlemen who were associated with them in th active conduct of the campaign. do not underestimate the importance of thi national victory. It means continued Dem ocratic ascendancy it the party shall b true to itself and the country. It means the speedy dissolution ot the Kepublican party; it means a revenue tariff, reduced taxes, home rule, free election, economical admin istration of public offices, and a higher standard of official action. It means peace and prosperity to the country." BELLAMY IS OPTIMISTIC. Do Claims the Victory Is More for Populitcs Tlinn Democrats. Boston, Xov. 9.lSpecidL Edward Bellamy, one of the progenitors of the People's party, thus outlined the political situation as it appeared to him to-day. He said: The Peoplo's party feci In exceptionally fine feather. It has achieved extraordinary success. I am more than pleased at the re sult of the election. It -was due to the activ ity of the People's party. We havo jrot Kan sas, Nevada, Wyoinlnp, South Dakota, Ore Kon, Colorado and Nebraska, and we feel that we can rightfully claim several or tho Southern States. We did not expect to elect tlie President, but we feel that we can be sure ot a People's party President In 189a The spirit of the Peoplo's party Is revolt asiainst monopoly and the money power In tnis country. As to the Kepublican party, It will have to take up some of the radical Issues brought to the front by the Peoplo's partv If it expects to live. I question whether it will ever be a party of power again. In the future it will havo to udopt the national issue of monev: thut 18, greenbackism as opposed to the Democratic Idea of State banks. Of course, this will mean a divorce between the KeDubiicau party and tho capitalistic powers, but It will Dave to come if the party Is to live. To do this would be eating crow, but between this and utter extinction of the party there 1 no choice. Tne Kepublican party has lost New York, ana It can never lecover the Western vote unless it comes in touch with the people. Tliere Is no hope for it. The sectional issue between Norm and South is dtiad. Tho People's pal ty will use Its power In Congress and push its radical measures, and if necessary, it will adopt Farnellite tactics, and obstruct business w here it can not carry its measures. QUAY TELLS THE REASON. There Was n Lack of Votes, and the Voters All Know "Why. Philadelphia, Uov. 9. Senator Quay arrived here this morning lrom Pittsburg. He remained only a few minutes at his hotel, and then went out and visited a number of places on personal business, finally bringing up at the Kepublican State Committee headquarters. Collector Cooper and a reporter found him there this after noon. Mr. Quay silently shook hands with his callers, and then sinking into a chair, said: ''This is awful." Turning to Col lector Cooper, he asked: "What have you heard? "What have we saved?" Collector Cooper said there was still hopes of Indiana. Jlr. Quay made no replv, but listened silently as Collector Cooper told him the situation of affairs. To the question, "To what do you attrib ute the Kepublican defeat?" Senator Quay tersely replied: "Lack of votes." "Well, thee, why do you think the votes were lacking.' "You will have to ask the voters that question," replied Senator Quay. "Have vou nothing to say, Senator, on the result?" "Nothing," said Jlr. Quay, and he turned to Collector Cooper and began to questiou him as to the result in the different Legisla tive districts in the State. PALHEB AND SPBINGEB Talk on the Result and Tell now They Think It Happened. Srr.lNGriELD, III., Kov. a In an in terview with the Associated Press repre sentative to-day on the result of the elec tion Senator Palmer said: The election of Cleveland Is in effect a rev olution. It crushes protection as embodied in tho McKinley bill, and delivers the agri cultural and Industrial labor of the country from the despotism of organized capital. Il linois w ill agaiu be a (actor in natioual poli tics. With the co-operation of the Wesc and South it will hereafter exeicise a controlling influence in the politics of the country. The Associated Press reporter inter view ed Congressman Sprier, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, who said: The Kepublican party was overwhelm ingly ticicited two j-ears ago on the issues raised by the McKinley bill. A rehearing w as demanded, and a ne w trial was granted. Alter two years of practical working of the law, and a full and thorough discussion of lis meiits, the people have again repudiated it and the party which is responsible lor It, Tho majority is so large and tue condemna tion so emphatic that protection Is lorever doomed in this country, and not only In the United States, hut in the Western Hemis phere Canada, Mexico and Central and South America will not bo long in taking do n their bar raised in retaliation and re straint of the trade. The continent is free. ONE FOSTEE TALKS OUL The Secretary of State Says the Tariff Issne Caused It All. TVAKimrGTOi:. 2C6V. Q.SecrlrT of Slate Foster attributes tlie Republican de feat to tariff issues. The party, he says, challenged the judgment of the country on the McKinley bill, and the verdict must be accepted as the will of the people that a different policy shall be adopted. Other questions entered somewhat into the con test, but not to such an extent as to mate rially affect the result. Xor would it have been different if other candidates had been selected or other leaders managed the cam paign. No administration ever went before the country with a cleaner record. It is the policy not the personnel of the administration that has been condemned, said 5Ir. Foster. In this view of the matter, the Secretary was gratified that Mr. Cleve land was likely to be sustained by a party majority in both branches of Congress, so that the new policy may have a fair trial. M'KINLEY WON'T TALK Before To-Morrow, 1 hen lie Promises to Have Something to Say. Columbus, O., Nov. 9. Governor Mc Kinley was seen to-night by an Associated Press reporter and asked his views on the situation. He declined at that time to say anything. When pressed for his opinion on the Kepublican defeat, he merely re plied: "I have nothing tosav just now." "Do you think the tariff question was what did the business?" "I dou't care to talk at present I am going to East Liverpool to-morrow to at tend a funeral, and on Fndav I will sav what 1 think ot the situation." "You will not give apy opinion at pres ent, then?" "No, sir. I will not I will say what I have to say next Friday, and until that time I will say nothing." DEPEW IS QUITE CHIPPEB. He Thinks the Country Has Accepted Theory for Practice. Sew Yoke, Kov. 9. Chauncey M. Depew did not look this morning like a man who is suffering from disappointment He said cheerily: "If Mr. Cleveland has been elected I hope jthe Democracy will have both branches of Congress. If he is elected It simply shows that the country has accepted theory for practice. Give the Democrats full swing. Let them have every opportunity to reduce theory to prac tice. Of course I am disappointed. I shall remain disappointed for a whole day. "I shall congratulate Cleveland if he gets in, and I'll congratulate William C Whitney. He has done nobly. You see a Yale man comes off with the honors, any--way. After these congratulations I always pick my flint for the next fight." DILI IN E BOOTS Clothed Skeleton Found Hanging in a Braddock Township Coal Mine. ITS DISCOYEBER FAINTS. The Hair and Beard of the Dead Man Are Still Growing. IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SUICIDE. The Deed Was Probably Committed OTer Two Tears igo. A HTSTEBY THAT 18 YET UNBOLTED Half sitting, half hanging was the dressed and booted skeleton of a man found in a coal mine in Braddock town ship. Tuesday evening John Kevin dis covered this weird, ghastly spectacle. Ai his little lamp revealed to him the hideous sight, Xevin fell in a faint This is the most complete mystery un earthed in Allegheny county for many days. The district where this case comes from is well suited as a birthplace of mystery. The skeleton was found in Corry's deserted coal mine. The old pit is on a hill above Cope land station and a half mile back irom the railroad. It has been over 11 years since any mining has been done there, the open ing having become dangerous. The land up on the hill belongs to J. B. Corry. His tenants have for years been diggingcoal for their own use in the abandoned mine. They never ventured far into the bank, through iear that the roof might cave in. John Kevin Exhausted by Fright Tuesday night John Kevin went to the mine to get his usual allowance of fuel. For some reason he did not stop at the en try, but went on in. By the aid of his lit tle lamp he groped his way several hundred feet into the depths of the pit Here the first room leads off and it was there Kevin stopped. He took his lamp from his hat and holding it above his head peered into the room. The flickering coal oil light revealed a ghastly sight Suspended to the roof by a rope and slightly swayed by the breeze was a long haired, whiskered skeleton. Kevin was held spellbound by the scene for an instant, and then exhausted by fright he fell to the floor. Recovering, he made his way out and spread the news of his awful discovery. Later a party of men entered the mine. They had given little credence to their neighbor's story, thinking that it was an optical illusion, but they soon saw for themselves. A Bearded, Booted Skeleton Found. As these four or five sturdy countrymen stood in the doorway of that underground room, their nerve for a time departed. Several minutes elapsed before any of them had the courage to approach the object of their iright Then one bv one they entered. The man had evidently committed suicide from tlie position he was in. The room was not much over four ieet high and the skele ton measured fivefeet nine inches. Death had been caused by hanging. The rope was still around the man's neck and securely tied to a timber in the roof. The skeleton'was in a crouching position, the man having evi dently thrown himself forward. The legs were crossed in front, and the arms hung down at his sides. The fingers showed that there had been convul sions. The flesh had entirely left the body save on part of the face. The head was covered by a heavy and long growth of saudy hair, while the curly beard and mustache of the same color looked as natural as those on a living man. lie Died With Bis Boots On. The poor fellow had died with his boots on, and in fact all his clothes. He wore a brown suit, made with a cut away coat, a brown chinchilla over coat, a checkered cheviot shirt and heavy topped boots, with his trousers tucked in them. His clothes were badlv rotted and nearly ready to drop off. The only things in the room save the skeleton were a black stiff hat and a small upright lamp. The latter was sitting off in one corner, the oil had all been burned out and only a little piece of the wick was left There was nothing in the pockets of the man's clothes. The skeleton was cut down, removed to the outer world and the Coroner notified. Coroner's Clerk Grant Miller; spent the greater part of yesterday investigating the case. Though all the people in that neighborhood were questioned no one could eolyethc mystery. JTrom the laot that tha man irns clothed for uinUr weaiW It !9 thought he must have been in the mine for a year at least It is altogether probable that the suicide was committed two years ago from the condition of the skeleton, while no one has been in that room lor a longer period than that The man is sup posed to have been between 45 and 50 vears of age. He would have weighed about 175 pounds. Late last night the skeleton wr.s identi fied as the remains of James Bartin, who left home last February, taking with bimthe lamp and the rope, but his wife has always discredited the idea that he had committed suicide. Bartin was 60 years old .and a division boss on the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston Railroad. Since his disappear ance his wile has been making her home with a sister at Salt Works station. HOW 10 EXPHD THE CASH. That Is tlie Question Bothering Alleghen iuns Jnst Kow, Allegheny City officials are highly pleased over the vote on the bond issue. They were talking yesterday of the manner Councils will decide npon for issuing the bonds. It is generally expected that the first move will be to improve the water supply and the first issue of the bonds will be for that purpose. A pumping station with a daily capacity of 30,000,000 gallons is to b built on Kine Mile Island, with a five-foot main to the city reservoir. By next spring the new sewer system will have been planned, with maiu sewers taking the place ot Butcher's Bun on the east and Woods' Bun on the west of the city. As soon as the work is begun more bonds will be issued to pay for the sewers. It is thought the last of the bonds will not be issued for two years or more. Captured After Many Days. Joseph Bossinger had a hearing before Alderman McKelvey, of Allegheny, yes terday altemoon ou a charge of aggravated assault and battery. It is alleged that he and James Harkness about a month ago as saulted William Anderson on Spring Gar den avenue, Allegheny, and knocked him under a passing street car, which dragged him a considerable distance, injuring him badly but not fatally. Harkness waa ar rested and is now in jail awaiting trial. Bossinger escaped and was not captured until Tuesday. In default of bail Alder man McKelvey committed him to jail also for trial.

It Is Not Dead, but the Reform Association Will See to It Tliat.Good Citizens' Vote at the Primaries Next Spring for Councils. While the Presidental election has over shadowed every other issue during the past few weeks, it does not follow that no other political work ha: been going on. In Alle gheny the Reform Association, having favored the issuing of ?2,500,000 of bonds, has been quietly at work preparing for the struggle at the spring election when the Councilmen will be elected who will control the spending of this immense sum of money. It is not their intention to put any ticket in the field, but rather to work irre spective of party to secure the election of men who can be depended npon to vote against any jobs which may be sprung upon them. A prominent member of the Keform As sociation stated that they had already ap pointed their committees in two of the wards, with a sub-committee of ten promi nent business men in each preoinct who have agreed to work continnously among their neighbors in order to get them out at the primaries. Thev are now going over the entire city in the same manner, and will have a committee of ten in each pre cinct They claim that the reason the re formers have had so little show in Councils has been due mostly to the failure of the good citizens to come out and vote at the primaries and say that no one in favor of reform will be allowed to overlook his duty. ME. MAHSFIELD HAS TO SPEAK In Besponse to the Applause Which His Fine Acting Hail Evoked. Another of those exquisitely artistic per formances which we now look lor with as surance from Mr. Mansfield took place at the Alvin Theater last night It was "A Parisian Komance" which, while open to grave criticism as a play, affords Mr. Mansfield nn opportunity to create a strongly-marked character in which the actor's distinct genius is clearly shown. Mr. Mansfield was, literally Was, the Baron Chevrial for two hours or more, and the climax, artistically and dramatically speak ing, his horrible death at the supper table, was, if anything, a finer effort than ever. The audience, a very large and distin guished one, appreciated it so warmly that after taking four curtain calls, had to make a speech. Mr. Mansfield prefaced some very bright and pleasant remarks by saying that he seldom had to speak out oi charac ter and was never asked to repeat the offense. All the same so happy an im promptu speaker is he that he runs a great risk of being called up again. A new scene used in the fourth act, a yel low satin-draped salon, is very handsome, and the ordering ot the snpper table, with its salads, etc., and champagne, contributed not a little to the realistic effect The company, including Miss Cameron, were alto in unusually good form. To-night "Kero," which has some gorgeous scenic and spectacular adjuncts, will be given for the first time in Pittsburg. A $5,000 MIDNIGHT FIEE. The Besldence of Dr. McCandless Partially Destroyed Lost Night The house of Dr. J. Guy McCaudless, No. 18 Center avenue, was partially destroyed by fire at 11:10 last night The fire was dis covered by Lieutenant Scott, of the First district police. As he was passing he no ticed smoke pouring from the roof of the building. The alarm was promptly re sponded to by engine companies Kos. 4 and 5. The Lieutenant returned to the house, and after some little difficulty succeeded in aronsing the family. A sick daughter of the doctor's was removed to a place of safety before the arrival of the fire depart ment The fire is supposed to have been caused by some 'defect in the flue. The roof was entirely destroyed and the plastering and furniture ruined by the water. Dr. Mc Candless was slightly cut on the face by come falling plaster. He announced that he had 5,000 insurance in th People's Company, of this city. TWO W0HEH TEY TO SHUFFLE. One Adopts the Bope Bonte, the Other Would Use Paris Green. Ella McBryar, aged 16, attempted suicide by hanging in the cellar of her home. Wool slair alley, Sixteenth ward, yesterday morn ing. She was unconscious when her mother found her and cut her down- After being revived she said a fortune teller in Altoona had frightened her, telling her she would meet with a terrible misfortune in a few days. Ko other excuse was offered. Mrs. Mary Miller, of 268 Carev alley, at tempted suicide on the train going to the workhouse Tuesday, but wat prevented by Detective Coulson. Asking for a glass of water, she dropped the poison into it and was about to drink it when stopped. She said her husband had applied tor divorce and she had no desire to live. Lately she has been drinking heavily. She was sent up for drunkenness. SELECTING THE BEST BOUTS. Wants to Suicide, but Can't Decide Whetber by Knife, Gun or Whiskey. William Williams, a colored resident of Jones avenue, threatened to commit suicide last night because he had lost 300 on Har rison. Williams owns his own property, but his loss weighed so heavily on him that he told his wife he would end his existence. Frightened, she called in a policeman who fouud the would-be suicide with a knife in one hand, a revolver in the other and a bottle of whiskey lying on a table in front of him, evidently pondering which route to take. He told the officer life was a burden now and he intended to end it The officer talked to him and finally secured possession of the weapons and a promise from Williams Dot to end his existence until the officer had first been consulted. FAV0ES THE WIDENING. W. J. Howard Withdraws Opposition to Improving Diamond Street W. J. Howard, the Philadelphia lawyer, who was largely instrumental in having the old street acts taken before the Supreme Court, came to the city yesterday. He held a conference with Mayor Gourley during which the proposed widening of Diamond street was discussed. Mr. Howard owns property on the street and was formerly op posed to widening it, but in an interview yesterday said he had no objection to it if properly done. Her Daughter Wants Mrs. Jones Address. The police received a letter from Mrs. C E. Crawford, of Jacksonville, O., yesterday, requesting the address of her stepmother, Mrs. Caroline Jones, late an employe of a wholesale millinery house here. She was iumished the addresses of all the Mrs. Jones and all the millinery establishments in the directory. 0O OQ THEY KEEP MOVING AHEAD! THE DISPATCH adlets increase steadily month by month.

THE SCIIOOL QUESTION IN ILLINOIS Some weary and sad-eyed Eepublicans of national repute and a few enthusiastic Dem ocrats ere at the Union depot last evening bound for Washington and other Eastern points. They had been home to vote, and all were greatly surprised, the President's friends at his poor showing and the Demo crats at Cleveland's wondertnl run of luck. In the Bepublican crowd were Private Secretary Halford, Secretary of the Interior Koble and Assistant Postmaster General Batchellor. On the same train was Hori zontal William K. Morrison, of Illinois, the Chairman of the Inter-State Commerce Commission. He was going to Washington with the others and was accompa nied by his wife. Private Secre tary Haliord and Mr. Koble discussed the landslide all day. but they couldn't come to any conclusion about the causes. Mr. Koble was in a very irritable mood, and showed that his disappointment over the result was keen. As a rule he is very affable and willing to talk, but last evening he declined to say a word. He said his throat was sore and he was very tired. His voice was husky and it was evident he had used it extensively on the stump in Missouri. Mr. Koble looked like a man who was ready to "scrap" with his best friend. Gracefully Accepted tho Situation. Secretary Halford was different. He was nneasy, but accepted the result with good grace. He said he left Indianapolis at 5 o clock in the morning, and at that time the result in Indiana was in doubt He hadn't heard in the meantime, but he supposed the State had gone Democratic The Secretary appeared to be dazed and had no explana tion to offer. "I can't understand why we lost," he said. "There is nothing uncertain about the vote. It was emphatic enough, and we accept the verdict I think from indications that the Senate will be Demo cratic and I guess there is no doubt about the House. Well, it is best that it should be so. The Democrats can now put their ideas into execution, and the people will judge of the effect" Mr. Halford was surprised to hear that Dr. Flood had been defeated for Congress. He said he knew him. W. It Morrison had been in Illinois for some time working for the Democratic ticket When asked to analyze the result, he said: "Local issues had nothing to do with the outcome in Illinois. I knew the State was going Democratic, and in a letter a week ago to Mr. Jones, editor of the St Louis MepuKie, 1 predicted a ma jority for Cleveland. Effect of the School Question. "The school question may have had some influence, aud Mr. Stevenson's popularity in the State no doubt helped us, but the primary cause was the tariff; The people have become very tired of paying hieh duties, and there is a general de mand ior reform. The Democratic party is now on trial, and its success in the future depends on the behavior of the people in office. If they administer the affairs of the country honestly and well, the Democrats will continue dominant. If they don't the party will be snowed under four years he flee. I teel that the tariff is respon sible for the outcome from Kew York to California," Assistant Postmaster General Batchellor had no statement to make. He hadn't figured out to his own satisfaction just how it all happened. Adjutant General Greenland was point? to Harrisburg. He was feeling like a 3-year-old in a ten acre lot "The result shows," he said, "that the people have commenced to think for themselves and won't be ruled by one little corner of the country, l mean Pennsylvania. Home stead is responsible to a large extent. You may not have heard much of the labor trouble around here, but I was over in Kew York last week, and I was surprised how much Homestead was discussed by the working people. Harrlty Doesn't Want Anything. ' "Harrity wants no reward for what he has doue. He is an indefatigable worker. He can go into a fight and hustle night and day. and come out in the end looking fresh and strong." Another passenger for Washington last night was Edward Young, of this city, chief of Uncle Sam's bookkeepers. He thought Whitelaw Beid was the millstone that weighted the President He was of the opinion tbatwith a more popular mate Harrison might have won. He hoped the Democrats had captured botb branches of Cvngrcsa. J. It. Seagrane, of Vandalia, also occu pied a seat in the Washington car. He is one of the editorial writers on the Wash ington Post. Mr. Seagrane said he had been told by people who were posted that the disaffection of the Catholics and Luther ans oVer the school question and the dis satisfaction with the tariff in the rural districts had defeated the Bepublicans in Illinois. DEMOCRATS WILL CELEBEATE. Grand Jollification Parade Arranged for Next Saturday Evening. There will be a grand Democratic jollifi cation parade on next Saturday evening, when it is expected that all the Democratic clubs will tnrn out, and also immense dele gations not belonging to clubs, from all over the county.

This division will be composed of all organiza tions south of the rivers. A IBIFLE EAELY. Snee's CInb Celebrates by Carrying Steele's Coffin Through the Streets. The Snee Democratio Club held a some what premature demonstration, turning out in full force and burning red fire. They carried a wooden coffin, on which was the inscription, "Steele is Dead." As they passed up Carson street, they stopped at the Conkling Club, Alderman Succop's and Alderman McGeary's offices and tendered a serenade. Then, as they marched further up the street, the crowd sang, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid; TarifTBeform, but not Free Trade." Surprised at Sibley's Strength. Mayor James M. Lambing, of Corry, got back to the Seventh A,venue Hotel last evening. Like many other good Bepub licans, he was nonplussed at the avalanche. He thinks the farmers and the working classes have soured on the McKinley tariff: It is settled that Sibley carried the Erie Crawford district against Dr. Flood. This is what surprised the Mavor. He said he yknw Dr. Mood was unpopular, but tie hud no idea that the heavy Kepublican majority of the district could be overcome. HOT A' DEMOCBATIC VICIOEY. Mrs. Lee Thinks the Result Shows a Break ing Up or Old Party lines. Ex-Senator J. W. Lee returned to Pitts burg from his home in Franklin yesterday. He received a letter from his wife, in which he thought she fully explained the Bepub lican Waterloo. Mrs. Lee wrote: "The result is not so much a Democratic victory as the breaking up of old party lines. The people have discovered they hold some power, and they will exercise it in the future." "There," continued Mr. Lee, "I think my wife is pretty nearly right There was an indefinable unrest that the people haven't yet expressed in words, and the growing dislikes of trusts and combinations had much to do with it The voters wanted to show that one party did not own the country. I don't think the administration can be held responsible for the numerous busi ness combinations, but the people no doubt blamed the President The Bepublicans didn't have their fighting clothes on this yean In the next Presidental contest we will carry the country. I believe the Be publican States that went Democratic will be back in the fold at the end of a year." CAUSES FOE THE DEFEAT, Amalgamated Association Officials Think They Were Labor Troubles. The Amalgamated Association officials were all busy yesterday and were ap parently paying little attention to the re sult of the election. Kone of them were apparently very much worried over the re sult, and while many of them had cast their votes for the losing ticket they thought it might turn out for the best Ex-President Weihe said: "It was a pretty good elec tion and since the verdict is decisive it will have to go. I consider the labor troubles the chief cause of the overwhelming defeat of the Bepublicans. If you will notice these troubles have not teen here alone, but in all parts of the country, and the fight on union labor was a potent factor in the past campaign. Whitelaw Eeid's atti tude toward organized labor added no strength to the ticket and he must come in for a share of the blame for the defeat The other officers present seconded his opinions. No Cause for Despondency. Sellers McKee weut East last night He takes a very complacent view of the Bepub lican defeat He says the party this year could not have elected the Pope. The peo ple wanted a change and they got it. Mr. McKee adds that trade will not be injured. He flattered him self that so far as his business is concerned the Americans can make better and cheaper pressed glassware than the English. THE FEEIQHT BUEEAtt uTothlng Accomplished nt the Chamber of Commerce Committee Meeting. The Chamber of Commerce Committee met yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock to dis cuss the matter of establishing a freight bureau. The following members of the committee were present: James B. Scott, Chairman; Colonel B. Monroe, W. P. De Armit, J. Morton Hall, W. L. Scaife and W. C. Quincy. Henry Holdship, the other member of the committee, was nnable to attend on account of sickness. Addresses were made by C A. Painter and George T. Oliver. Mr. Painter's remarks were con fined to the general freight traffic, and strongly urged the establishment of a freight bureau. He said there 'should be no discrimination made in general freight traffic, but believes that in local freight traffic a discrimination that would be bene ficial to local shippers could reasonably be made. Mr. Oliver's remarks were confined to the some subjects discussed by Mr. Painter, and their bearings were about the same. Ko action was taken by the committee, and the meeting was adjourned until 3 o'clock Friday afternoon, when some defin ite action will be takenregarding the estab lishing of a fi eight bureau. PB0MISES TO SO BETTER The Weather Man Ila a Better Article Than Yesterday's In Store. The weather seemed to go into mourning for the defeated political candidates yester day, and made a gloomy time for Pittsburg. Early in the day the heavy clouds began to drop their contents upon the smoke-laden city. A murky darkness prevailed, and afforded little satisfaction to harrowed feel ings or gloomy forebodings. The rain soon turned to snow and the soft, slushy, con gealed moisture hung from every nook and corner. Street cars had much difficulty in making their v ay through the streets, and had to run with care to avoid accidents. As evening drew on it became colder on the outskirts of the city, the streets and pave medts became covered with snow, which added much inconvenience ta p&dtti&na. Few persons ventured out except lrom necessity, and then only for as short time as possible. This gave the streets a deserted appearance, and the rushing activity of Fifth avenue was noticeably lacking. The predictions of Observer Stewart are for clearer weather, with .little change in the temperature. Pittsburg will likely enjoy better weather to-day. BOBBED HIS BENEFACI0B. James Brennan Adopts Desperate Measures to Secure Money. Michael Bolinski, a Pole living at 2834 Plum avenue, complained to Captain Wag goner, of" the Twelfth ward police station, last night, that be had been assaulted and robbed of 51 2o. When questioned he said he roomed with a man named James Bren nan, to whom in the early part of the even ing he loaned 550. Later Brennan returned and demanded more. Bolinski refused his roommate, where upon the latter threw him to the floor and, holding a knife to the prostrate man's throat, abstracted the 51 2& Brennan was subsequently arrested and while on his way to the station house made desperate efforts to escape. Freight Men Meet. The Pittsburg Freight Committee held a meeting yesterday to check up rates. A lot of routine business was disposed of. The agents claimed that no business ot im portance had been transacted. Of Interest to Traveling Salesmen. Crackers, light, flaky and palatable, nre far prelerublo to the leaden biscuit and Indi gestible bread of most hotels. All traveling men appreciate this fact to a greater extent than any other class. The time was when machine-made hreadstnlTs were tough, or without taste or meritbut cracker bakers long auo arrived at a realization of the fact that "what tho stomach craves must he uood." Mill owners will tell you that cracker manufacturers buy a bettor grade or flour than does the ordinary private family, and pioduco dealers will testify that cracker men no w n ant the very best quality of lard, butter and eggs obtainable. A cup of good tea or coffee, with a liberal supply of "Keceptlon Flakes" or "Eagle Butter" crackers, will make a most grateful meal or luncheon without the addition of other trimmings, save sweet country butter.

The Medical Practice of the Pead Priest Will Le Abandoned. TIIE HEIRS WILL .NOT GET YEKT MUCH The household effects of the late Father Mollingcr were sold at auction yesterday morning at the parochial residence, Mt Troy. With the exception of a carriage and buggy and a few small articles of jewelry everything was purchased by the Eev. Father John B. Duffner on behalf of the congregation of the Church of the Most Holy Name. "We had quite a large crowd here this morning," said Father Duffner in speaking of the sale. "There was not much bidding on the household furniture as neariy everyone present recognized the right ot the congregation to hold these ar ticles. I bought everything in the way of carpets and necessary furnishment in' be half the congregation, but the bric-a-brac and ornaments I purchased formy own use. I consider we got the articles at verv reason able prices, but they would not "be worth near as much to anyone else, as they would not be adaptable in any but a very large house. The sale netted over 52,000. Of course, the greatest interest is manifested in the disposition to be made of the relics and ornaments in the chapel. AYe claim these belong to the church and not to the estate. This matter will be determined in the courts. Kothing will be done in this matter at present Begarding the purchase of the house, I can only say it it is offered to ns at a reasonable figure we will buy it, but If not there are plenty of other places nearby that will answer our nurpose just as well." "Do you intend to carry on Father Mol linger's work of healing?""was asked bv the reporter. "I do not. I have enottsa work to keep me busy looking after men's souls, without enlarging my sphere and caring for their bodies. Of course the chapel will be open for people to offer their prayers, and they can also have the advantages of the healing powers of the relic, but as far as giving prescriptions and entering into medicine is concerned, I will have nothing to do with it I think the priest's duty is to elevate the souls of men, and the caring for the ills ot the bodies should be left to the phvsi cians alone. There is another feature, namely, that if the relics are removed from the church here, they would lose their heal ing and all other power of doing good. In other words the relics are only'raluable from the church's standpoint, as long as they remain where they are." j.ne juomnger neirs are at present con sidering a way of utilizing the building on Mt Troy, now occupied by Father Duffner, but will not give out anything for publica tion. One rumor abroad" 13 that they intend establishing an infirmary, with a priest physician in charge, in Father Mollinper's late residence. This could not be verified, owing to the indisposition of the parties interested to talk, they giving as their ex cuse that divulging the plan now might de feat the whole scheme. The Mollinger heirs are greatly disappointed with the pro ceeds of the estate. They came to this country with the idea that there were millions for them to divide, but the present indications are that thev will not get more than 550,000. A public'auction sale of all of Father Mollinger's stocks, worth from -,uuu to 5H.U00, will be held bv the ad ministrator this morning. The list includes some gas, oil, insurance, bank and trust stock. Bad Ruptures. Trusses made to order for cases of large hernia and satisfaction guaranteed. The only lactory west of Philadelphia- J.
