SADT FOR THE RISE.
Six or Eight Millions Bushels of Coal
Will Go Down the River
IP HIGH WATER COMES QUICKLY.
Eiver'.JIiners Still Stand Firm igainst a
Eeinction in Wajres.
ffET8 OF HB GREAT LABOR WORLD
A veporte d heavy rise from all up-river
point yesto rday was the subject of com
ment along the wharf and in the boat stores.
The rain's of .the past few days have caused
enough itutei to make it probable that
there will la V etween seveu and eight feet
in the river .o-day. This will make good
barge water as d preparations are being
made to send o.lt many tows of coal to the
Southern marki'fe". It is estimated that
there are between 6,000,000 and 8,000,000
bushels of coal load, d. If the water arrives
there will be more tanhalf of this on the
way down the river iJefore night. At all
events' heavy shipments are expected to be
made, as eight feet of w ater are looked for
before the end of the weefc.
This time 5at year there were 25,000,000
bushels of coa ready for shipment The
high water of tc past summer caused all
the ready coal ti be sent out, and the
miners' strike has prevented the stock from
being replenished, so that after the first
shipment there will practically be no coal
on the river to supply the market The
rivermen state that should' the strikers re
turn to work to-morrow thriV! months' work
would have to be done in one- r.f tn usual
amount of coal is to be shipped.
The Elver Miners Still FA"n
A river captain stated yesterday.- "I hare
been among the btrikers a great A ial and
know how they feeL There is ver little
talk of any of them returning at tf ' re
duced rate. I may be mistaken, but iT do
not believe that the men will return to
work until they sre starved out, and it tak '
a pood while to starve out a coal miner-
The fact is they can get work elsewhere,
and at present there are few of the men
idle. If they can't work in the river mines
they can go into either the railroad mines or
at other public works.
"If the present strike should continue
for any length of time, it will be hard on
the river men. As it now is, there
are large numbers of them around the
wharf ot Pittsburg who haven't a dollar,
simply because there is nothing for them
to da" Coal is also going up. I wanted to
buy a barge of slack coal to-day. The same
quality ot coal lor which I paid 2 cents
three months ago I now have to give 4
cents for. It is the same with the better
grades, though the difference is not quite
so much. All this time the railroads are
the only means of supplying the markets,
and they haven't enough cars. The effects
of the strike will soou be lelt by the con
sumers, if it is keot up much longer.
Local Coal Prices Going Up.
"I know the miners expect the water to
force the operators to give in through pres
sure from the markets. They look upon
the high water as their best friend and are
manifesting no great desire to get back to
work. They can give no reason why they
refuse to work for the river operators at
the same rate as for the railroads, out claim
that as the river mines are idle part of the
time, there should be a difference in the
mining rats. The rivermen offered fo
remedy this, but the miners maintained
their position. I want to see the strike
ended as I have to buy more or less coal
and the rise in the price is quite an item."
The river operators yesterday had no idea
as to when the strike would end. There is
scarcely a sign of a break. The early rise
in the river will soon take out all the coal
on hand and then the ficht will have to be
won by whoever has the most endurance.
The prospects for a successful year's work
on the river are not bright The season is
so far advanced now that with practically
no coal mined, it will be difficult to get out
the necessary amount The operators are be
ginning to think that they will have aharder
fight than expected in inducing the men to
return to work. The coal that is being
run by a few mines in the fourth pool is
only for the local markets, and the amount
is small when compared to the general out
put The Situation as Viewed in McKecsport.
A telegram lrom McKeesport last night,
in commenting on the strike, sizes up the
situation as follows: That a speedy settle
ment of the strike among the river coal
minerals at hand, bv the surrender of one
side ,or the other, is apparent in
the brisk renewal of "war talk"
on both sides during yesterday and
to-day and in the activity shown by the
operators in completing preparations for
handling the output of the mines without a
moment's unnecessary delay when the
collapse does come. So much has been
laid on the subject that there would be
nothing left to report were it not lor the
unmistakable indications that are visible
along the river and in the talk of the com
batants tbat water is only wanted now on
either side to put an end to the long contest
Captain Posey, an operator prominent
among the river mines, said to-day that his
coal boats were all ready, but that they
will never be filled except at the reduced
rrte, and that when the river is ready the
miners will be. Captain Benton, an
other well-known operator, said the oper
ators had made a decided gain during the
week, but declined to go into particu
lars. Another operator said: "In the Mo
nongahela valley the strike covers filty
mines. "We have the railroad as well as the
diggers to fight, but I tell you once for all
that we went into this fight to win, and
when the water is right for coal business
Wow we will win."
NEW MILLS FOR HOMESTEAD.
Flans Being Drawn Up for Another riant
on the Old Poor Farm More Men Re
turn to "Work "o Deputy Sheriffs to Be
Removed.
It bad been claimed tbat the moment the
election was over a large majority of the
locked out men would apply tor work at the
Homestead mills. Tne leaders lay tbat the
report has been proven untrue, and the ma
jority of the 2,000 men yet here are firm and
confident. At the mill it is asserted and
names are offered to show that a number of
men did apply and were told that their po
sitions were filled. Three blacksmiths, how
ever, were taken back.
An employe, who stands very near to the
Carnegie Steel Company, Limited, said
this evening that despite the election the
firm is now securing plans for additional
mills to be located on the Poor Farm plan
and the moment tbat property is vacated
work will commence to cover it with ex
tensions. Chairman H.C.Fricfc visited the
plant to-day and spent several hours in
specting the various departments accom
panied by Manager Schwab. He was in a
very cheerful humor at noon and said the
works were operating in a perfectly satis
factory manner.
Kon-union men have begun to move into
the new houses on the hill above the works,
which has been dubbed Carnegie City. A
striker living on Eighteenth street went
over to superintend the moving and ex
pressed ability and willingness to whip any
blacksheep on the hilL A worker from the
119-inch mill immediately accommodated
the striker, and being much larger soon
bested his opponent and then rolled him
down MIL. The striker wanted to make in
formation for assault and battery but was
advised not to do so for he was himself tres
passing, the ground belonging to Mr. An
drew Oarnegle.
The proposition to remove a large num
ber of the deputr sheriffs now on duty
here is not favorably entertained" by mer
chants who fear that many grave disorders
would result if the town were protected
alone by the borough police, who sympa
thize with the strikers. Chiefs Young and
Bichey say it is 'altogether unlikely that
their 'force will be reduced for s"everal
weeks, even though the trouble is adjusted
in the meantime.
GLASS 3IEN IN A SCRAPE. ,
Thirty Alleged Contract Laborers From
Belgium Detained at XUUs Island They
Were to KepJace Strikers alt Flttsburg
Prosccntlons'to Follow.
Kew Yoke, Nov. 10. The Ellis Island
officials to-day made an important detention
of a crowd of contract laborers who were
coming o this country to take the places of
strikers at Pittsburg. Several days ago
Contract Labor Inspector E. IX Layton, of
Pittsburg, telegraphed to tbe Contract
Labor Bureau that half a dozen Belgian
glass blowers had left Antwerp October 20,
for this port, under contract to work at a
class blowing establishment at Pittsburg.
The men had been engaged to take the
places of strikers and for less pay.
The steamship Friesland arrived lrom
ADtwerp Wednesday, and it wa reported
that there were no steerage passengers on
board. The Labor Inspectors fonnd Fran
cis Videl, a former foreman in the Pitts
burg Gas "Works, with the five contract
workmen in the second cabin. Afterward
the inspectors found 24 more glass blowers
under contract among the second cabin pas
sengers on the Friesland.
To-dav the men were taken to Ellis
Island and accused of coming here in viola
tion of the alien contract laws. Xbey were
placed in detention. The capture ot the
30 glass blowers is considered the most im
portant that has been made in a long time.
If a good case is made out against -the owner
of the glass blowing factory, he will be
prosecuted.

lteaper Jtlanuf actory.

Expected to Start Up Soon.
A telegram from Beaver Falls last even
ing says that up to this time no official
declaration has been made regarding the re
sumption of operations at the Carnegie
mills in that city. Yet there is no reason
able question that such a move will be
made, and that speoaily. Superintendent

tnere are other imitations mat tne long
talked of resumption will not be deferred
later than next Monday.
Jf ew Mills for Kensington.

PAYING ELECTION BETS.
A Police Official and His Fries d Must Eat
a 'Coon Dinner Other Amusing Meth
ods of Satisfying Wagers on the Na
tional Contest
The paying of election betsris just now
consuming much of the time of the local
Republicans and in settling the wagers it
has developed that many amusing bets were
made. A leading Democrat who took a
chance on the general result has arranged a
rather unique spread for his Bepublican
friends. He is not a betting man, but he
was convinced that Cleveland would be
elected. He agreed with a prominent official
of the police department that if Harrison
was successful he would send to the police
department a live coon. If Cleveland was
elected the police official agreed that he and
his friends would eat the coon. In payment
of the bet the coon has been dressed and will
be served in royal style at Prey's restaurant
on Diamond street to-night The Democrat
and his friends and the police official and
his friends will join in the coon dinner.
Chief Brown, Superintendent 0'Mara,In
spector McKelvey and many others have
been invited to the banquet, which promises
to be a pleasant affair.
Over iu Allegheny a number of novel
election bets were paid last night About
8 o'clock a brass baud startled the people
about City Hall. It was followed by a man
trundling a wheelbarrow with the victor
seated on it Next came two dog
carts with another wheelbarrow bring
ing np the rear. The vehicles were
caily decorated and the occupants
burned red fire and waved flags. Another
party headed by a drum corps stopped be
fore a saloon in the Diamond for refresh
ments. The man paying the bet was the
only one who had any funds, and according
to the bet he was not allowed to treat any
one or be treated while on the march. Con
sequently he regaled himself with several
berrs and enjoyed a lunch while the crowd
looked on.
STAES 07 THE STAGE
To Perrorm for the Benefit or the Pittsburg
Press Club.
Very novel indeed is the design of the
programme for the testimonial to be ten
dered to the Press Club on Friday next at
the Duquesne theater. Mr. Percy F. Smith
has had charge of it and is now engaged in
finishing off one of the neatest things of its
kind ever given at any performance.
When such eminent stars as E. S. Wil
lard are allied in his effort with Charles
Frohman's distinguished company of play
ers in any one entertainment there can be
no doubt of the success of the project Not
only this, but every artist playing in the
city next week will also appear at the
benefit The sale of seats continues to be
phenomenal. The Duquesne Theater is the
only place where tickets can be exchanged
for reserved seats.
Will Consider the Report To-Tflght
The sub-committee of the Allegheny
Finance Committee held a meeting at
Councilman Gerwig's house at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon to complete its report
to the general committee concerning the
conferences the sub-committee has held
with the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Man
chester and the Pleasant Valley street rail
way companies regarding the back taxes the
companies owe the city of Allegheny. The
committee completed its report, and the
general committee will act upon it at its
meeting to-night

Ambitious Democrats Who Are Anx
ious to Serve Uncle Sam.
A GREAT. FLOOD OF PETITIONS.
llanr
Candidates Asking for Democratic
Indorsement.
NAMES OP THOSE ALREADY ANNOUNCED
Petitions for placet under President
elect Cleveland were, if possible, more
plentiful yesterday than the man who "told
you so." For each of the several Govern
ment offices new candidates had bobbed up,
and at every turn the Democrat whose
party service had entitled him to the con
sideration of the ambitious place hunter
was confronted with a petition praying the
appointing power to make no mistake in
filling the Federal positions, but requesting
in the regular way that this or that man be
chosen to serve his constituents and the
Government in tho office that promised the
best returns financially, or that would give
to the incumbent the greatest advantage in
the way of political prestige.
Colonel Hudson, who is at present em
ployed in the postoffice, had circulated in
his behalf a petition asking that he be ap
pointed to succeed Postmaster McKean.
Foley "Wants the Postoffice.
P. Foley's friends are also circulating a
patition of a similar nature, while ex-Postmaster
Larkin was circulating among his
friends, reminding them that he is and will
be in the contest for the place.
Alex "Wilson, of Allegheny, was among
his friends telling them that he was a can
didate for the Pension Agency. He did not
circulate a petition, but he was personally
feeling the public pulse and seemed highly
gratified with the reception he received
everywhere.
In addition to the candidates already
mentioned for the "United States District
Attorneyship Charles A. Fagan, Assistant
District Attorney of Allegheny county,
was having circulated a petition. His
friends are enthusiastic in his support, but
there are several candidates for the place.
For Collector of the Port.
Ex-Sheriff John Guffey stated yesterday
that he would not be a candidate for Inter
nal Bevenue Collector as was represented.
Many of his friends are anxious to have
him enter the race for Collector of the Port,
and he will likely ask for that position.
T. O'Leary is the only one mentioned for
United States Marshal. Mr. O'Leary is
not circulating a petition nsking for the
Elace. His friends are working for him,
owever. and he is convinced that many
others will be in the field before the honor
is conferred.
Charles Schmitt, of Homestead, who was
postmaster under Cleveland four years ago,
was conferring with Pittsburg politicians
in regard to another term in the same office.
Boyne, of "Washington countv, is generally
talked of for collector of infernal revenue.
There are several other candidates for the
place, but as yet none of them, have circu
lated petitions.
SPIRITUALIST SEANCE.
A National Delegate to tho W. C. T. U.
Convention Gives a Lecture and Seance,
and Answers All Questions Asked
Ichahod Talks About a Patent
A large and interested audience attended
the meeting of the Spiritualists at their
hall last evening to bear the address de
livered by Mrs. Carrie Irving, the well
known medium. Mrs. Irving, though she
has been a-Spiritualist all her life, is held
in high esteem in Chautauqua county, New
York, where she lives. She was elected
a delegate to the national convention of
the W. C. T. U. at Denver. i.
The lecture was devoid of any sensa
tional features and the moral sentiments
expressed were such as might be indorsed
by any one. After the lecture Mrs. Irving
gave a short seance, during which she
claimed to be controlled by a spirit called
Ichabod, who undertook to answer any
questions which anyone in the audience
might ask. Ichabod appears to be a very
benignant, but an exceedingly uneducated
spirit His grammar was decidedly bad,
but he seemed to have an immense fund of
information, as all who went up de
clared themselves satisfied with the
answers given. To one white haired man
the medium said he was working on a
patent and only needed one ingredient to
complete it and told him in a whisper how
to get it If this succeeds it will be a boon
to inventors, and it is expected the patent
office will do a big business as soon as in
ventors find this easy means of conquering
their difficulties.
DISABLED AT 8EA.
The Steamship Zaandam in n Dangerous
Position Off Newfoundland Banks.
Ne"W Yoke, Nov. 10. Another ocean
steamer bound for this port has been passed
disabled at sea. The Bed Star steamer

Antwerp, Teports having sighted the Netherlands-American
steamer Zaandam with
her machinery disabled. She was passed at
midnight November 5 some distance off the
Newfoundland banks.
She signaled the Pennland that her
piston rod was broken and asked to be re
ported to her agents. The Zaandam left
Amsterdam October 20 and carries no pas
sengers. A PLAINT FROM THE EEADIHO.
The Anthracite Industry Isn't Quite What
It's Cracked Up to Be.
Pottsville, Nov. 10. The coal mining
industry is not in as prosperous a condition
just now as could be desired. The Beading
Company complains greatly at a lack of
empty cars in consequence of the blockade
of loaded coal cars at water shipping points
and city terminals.
In order to relieve the blockade, and also
to restrict the product, the oompany is only
working its best collieries full handed.
Others are making as small shipments as
possible without a complete shut down,
while some of the more expensive places
have closed down altogether.
ONE CONTEST ANNOUNCED.
A Michigan Democrat Thinks That He Has

,MAKQTJETTE, MlCH.t Nov. 10. J.
Maurice Finn, the defeated Democratic
candidate for Con tress in the Twelfth dis
trict, says he will contest the election of
Mr. Stephenson on the ground of flagrant
violation of the election laws.
He specifies that in many precincts the
official ballots were secretljr distributed out
side the polls and electors intimidated into
voting tickets already marked He claims
to have conclusive proof of the truth of his
charges.
A Class Banquet

OVERCOME BY REMORSE.
A Forger "Who Is Wanted by tho Police
of This City Becomes Penitent and
Surrenders to the Authorities of St
Louis.
Broken in spirit and health and overcome
by remorse for his crime, John E. Wolz, a
former resident of this city, surrendered to
the police of St Louis on Monday last
The fugitive left this city more than four
months ago and since that time he has been
wanted by the authorities of Pittsburg on'
a charge of forgery.
Wolz ii 25 years of age. His young wif
lives in Bloomfield, while his father, John
Wolz, a prominent contractor, lives at No.
181 Forty-sixth street All of the guilty,
man's relatives are highly respected people.
Wolz, previous to July, was employed by
Laxnkemeyer & Son, lumber dealers at
Lawrenceviile, in the capacity of a book
keeper. Iu connection with his regular
duties wolz had charge of the banking for
his firm. About four months ago he mys
teriously disappeared, and three days later
the firm learned that their trusted em
ploye had passed forged checks and secured
payment upon them at the German National
Bank.
Further investigation revealed tbat
"Wolz, just previous to his departure
from the city had tried' to pass a
check for 52,000 upon the same bank, but
payment had been delayed through some
cause. The amount received by Wolz from
this bank was 5375. It is also said that the
fugitive secured some money from the
Pennsylvania National Bank in the same
way, but it is alleged his father settled this
matter. Upon learning subsequently that
his son had also defrauded the German
Bank, it is claimed tbat John "Wolz, Br.,
refused to pay out any more money.
Upon hearing that the fugitive was in
custody in St Louis, the directors of the
German National Bank held a meeting on
Wednesday, at which it was decided to
prosecute Wolz. Accordingly yesterday
the cashier, John H. E. Wessler, mad au
information against him at Alderman Mc
Kenna's office. Last night at 12:15 o'clock
Detective Coulson left for St Louis to bring
Wolz back to this city. Coulson will return
with the prisoner on Sunday.
A PAIR OF BABY SHOES.
Pathetic Incident at the Emltlifleld Street
Lutheran Evangelical Church Cemetery
Removing Bodies to Homewood One
Man's Sad Task Petrified in the Grave.
The remains of ten bodies were removed
yesterday lrom the Smithfield Street Luth;
ran Evangelical Church Cemetery, Mt
Troy. The work of transferring the 2,000
bodies which have been buried there dur
ing the last 40 years to the new cemetery
in Homewood is progressing rapidly. Not
a day passes bnt one or more bodies are ex
humed. This work has proved very inter
esting to those connected with the cemetery
and people living in the neighborhood, as
some startling and strange sights have been
revealed by the opening of some of the cof
fins. Petrified bodies have been found in
abundance, the soggy condition of the bury
ing ground favoring this work ot nature.
The bodis removed yesterday were the
dead of two families, namely, the Pabsts, ot
East street, Allegheny, and Jahns, of Etna.
Mr. William Jahn had a sad duty to per
form. Two.ot the caskets unearthed con
tained the remains of two of his wives, while
two more held all that was left of two chil
dren who had died while very young. Mr.
Jahn buried his first wife 27 years ago and
his second four years later. He superin
tended the removal of the remains of his
family to see that all that was left of
those he once loved so dearly should have
the proper care and respect After all the
caskets had been unearthed a small box was
all that was required to hold the remains.
As they were being placed in the box the
remnants of a pair of tiny shoes were un
covered in the pile of clay. Mr. Jahn
picked these little shoes up tenderly and
tears filled his eyes as he thought of the
little one who used to toddle in them about
his house 19 years ngo. The remains will
be taken to the new cemetery to-morrow.
THUGS AT NIAQABA FALLS.
Another Ilnman Body Fonnd Minus Money
in the Hydraulic Canal.
NlAGAEA FALLS, Nov. 10 SpecUL
Another unknown victim of foul play was
found here in thewater of the hydraulio
canal to-day. The remains were those of a
well-dressed man about 40 years of age,
sandy hair and mustache, 5 feet 8 inches iu
hight, rather thickset He had ou a nice
blue suit of clothes. One cuff button of
gold with diamond setting and a gold watch
and chain were found on him. His pocket
book contained no money, but a ticket on
the Lehigh Valley good from Suspension
Bridge to Petrolia, Ont It was stamped on
October 30. The body looked as if it had
been in the water three or four weeks.
The theory advanced by the police is
that the man was a passenger on one of the
night trains on the Lehigh Valley Railroad
which reaches here about midnight, and
while waiting for his connection was
enticed into some dive where he was
drugged and robbed and then pushed into
the cauah This is the fourth body found In
the canal this fall under suspicious circum
stances. It is thought that toughs lie in
wait for passengers on these late-trains
who have to wait an hour or two, lure them
into some dive, where they are made drunk
and easily disposed of.
Father Molllncer's Securities Sold.
Nearly the full value was realized on the
'stocks owned by late Father Mollinger at
the auction sale yesterday morning. The
various stocks were valued at 510,000 and
the amount realized on the sale was 59,935.
Fight different companies were represented
in the stocks sold. The bidding on some of
the scrip offered was very tame, but the
activity on the part of the bidders for the
more desirable stook made the total amount
large.
