THE ALIEN CONTRACT LABOR LAW
The arrest of 30 Belgian glass blowers on
the steamer Friealand at Xew York on
"Wednesday, a telegraphic account of which
The Dispatch published yesterday, is
likely to turn out to be tbe most important
seizure tinder the contraot labor lair yet
made. Immigration inspector K. D. Lay
ton spent yesterday at Jeannctte and found
much to confirm his suspicions before he
left last night for New York, whither he
had been summoned by Immigration Com
missioner O'Beirne. 3IfT Layton expects
to prove that the 30 men now in custody at
the seaboard have been brought here
under conti act, and before he gets through
with the investigation he expects to arrest
three or four men now in Jeannette
jbr complicity in a conspiracy to import
alien labor. Until he has all the facts he
is after 51 r. Layton will withhold the names
of the glassworkers at Jeannette. A manu
facturer or two are alto suspected of wink
ing at this breach of the law, and they may
be reached too.
Inspector Layton upon his return from
Jeannette yesterday had this to say abont
the affair: "I have suspected for some time
that an illegitimate traffic in Belgian glass
workers was going on, but I could get no
definite information till recently when I
learned that a large party of men were to
be landed this week under contract to work
it Jeannette.
raying for a Summer Vacation.
"I found that certain Belgian glass
worsen hereabouts were accustomed to go
home for their summer vacation, and to pay
the expenses of the trip to Belgium punched
a bole in the alien contract labor law. The
expenses alluded to amounted in round fig
ures to $160, and the Belgian gentleman of
leisure has been accustomed to engage to
procure work for a dozen of his fellow
:ountrymen in America at a fixed price of
$18 each thus paying for his holiday trip
and pocketing $20 besides. Whether the
holiday maker acted as well as an agent for
a manufacturer is what I am trying to dis
cover. I think he was, and that he proba
bly got a commission from the employer
in addition to the fee from the employed.
There is no doubt but that an illegal con
tract was made.
"In the case of the Friesland's passengers
whom we have captured I believe the pro
cedure I have 'described was followed out.
Somehody got $15 ahead in advance from
these 30 men, who were to be brought to
Jeannette to lake places in the factories
there. The scheme was slickly worked. I
was informed that the suspected men would
travel in the second cabin, instead of the
steerage; that they would be nattily dressed,
with high silk hats on their heads, and
gloves on their hands, to throw the immi
gration officers at tbe port off their guard.
Identified by Their Stjle.
. "I furnished Immigration Inspector John
E. Webber at Hew York with this informa
tion, and he had no difficulty in spotting
the Belgians. The gloves which hid their
horny hands were as good as tabs, and one
by one they were sorted out and placed un
der surveillance. They did not confess, of
course. But in spite of the glib stories
they told of how they came to be traveling
in a body I think we shall be able to induce
some of them to squeal. President John
Eberhart, of tbe "Window Glassworkers"
Association, went on to New York last
night to probe the matter thoroughly, for
he is convinced that wholesale evasions of
the law have taken place."
The excitement caused among the glass
workers at Jeannette by the news of the
arrest yesterday was intense, and when In
spector Layton appeared there he was not
allowed to doubt for a moment that the men
were deeply interested in having the law
enforced. They wanted Mr. Layton to give
up the names o'f the Belgian glassworkers
who had acted as brokers in
order that summary justice might
be meted out tt them. Mr. Layton
refused to reveal their identity, but he
promised to prosecute the case against them
vigorously. It was the widespread belief
that such importation of loreicn contract
labor was going on in the glass trade on a
large scale that made the glassworkers so
anxious last summer to have one of their
number appointed Inspector of Immigra
tion. TO BEAUTIFY THE SIEEET.
Hamilton Avenue Property Owners Want
It Lined With Trees.
Property holders along Hamilton avenue
have determined that it shall be one of the
handsomest streets in the East End. Dur
ing the past summer it has been widened to
60 feet and paved with asphalt. The
dwellings along its mile or more of length
are neat and tasty homes, mostly occupied
by the owners. It is expected the Duquesue
Company will have cars running upon the
street in two weeks. It is now proposed to
plant a row of trees from one end to the
other on both sides between the curbstone
and sidewalk. In order to secure uni
formity and lessen the cost, the property
holders will meet in the Homewood school
house Monday evening to decide upon the
character of trees to be used and place the
contract with one firm. It is expected the
trees will be planted at once, so thay may
have a good start by spring.
Gum Made, of Fried Starch.
The preparation of the gum used on post
age stamps was once the work of a solitary
individual who declined to disclose the re
cipe ol his secret, even to the Government
which employed him. He always did his
work alone, in a room carefully locked to
Erevent intrusion. An inquisitive official,
owever, learful that the secret might be
lost, in case of the man's sudden death, em
ployed a sweep to creep down the chimnev
while the cum-maker was at work. The
sweep discovered the mystery the splen
did gum was nothing more than fried
starch.

Bash Act of a Veteran With a First-Class
War Record When Ho Was Refused
liquor He Slashed His Throat With a
Penknife.
William Warnock, an old soldier who
lives at 447 Bebecca street, Allegheny, at
tempted to commit suicide yesterday morn
ing by cutting his throat with a penknife,
because he had been refused whisky. Sev
eral years ago Warnock had a stroke which
left him with his left leg paralyzed. Short
ly after he applied for a pension and was
granted $12 a month. Since then he has
spent most of his time in drinking and his
family has been unable to do anything with
him. The authorities were appealed to and
he was sent to the workhouse several times,
but the officials there finally refused to take
him and he was sent to jail.
Last week Warnock was released. He
called on Major Tyler and requested ad
mission to tbe Soldiers' Home at Dayton,
saying he was tired of spending his time in
jail. The Major at once made out tbe ap
plication papers.
About three hours afterward Warnock
had again gotten into trouble, and was
back in his old quarters. He was released
yesterday morning, and going home de
manded whisky, which was refused him.
Without warning he drew his penknife and
slashed his throat three times. He jnst
missed the jugular vein, but several
of the smaller veins were severed. Dr.
Pitcairn was summoned and succeeded in
stopping the flow of blood. The doctor
said that Warnock was in no immediate
danger, although he was weak from loss of
blood. At Major Tyler's office it was
learned that the application for Warnock's
admission to the home had been received
yesterday, approved and a ticket pur
chased to send him at once, there being
nothing left for him to do but sign the
papers.
AVarnock is well known throughout Alle
gheny and has an excellent war record. He
enlisted in Company E, Seventh Begiment,
Pennsylvania Volunteers, in the three
months' service. At the call for volunteers
for three years he enlisted in Battery F,
Independent Pennsylvania Light Artillery,
October 8, 18G1, and was discharged October
8, 1864, having served the entire time. As
soon as he recovers from the effects of his
rash act be will be sent to Dayton.
APPROVE A COMPROMISE.
Allegheny Finance Committee Accepts the
Offer of the Street Railroad Companies
City Solicitor Elphinstone's Opinion on
Stock Distribution Barred by a Statute.
The Allegheny Finance Committee last
night considered the claim of the city
against the street railway companies. The
sub-committee reported recommending
a compromise with the oompanies.
The charges against the Pittsburg, Alle
gheny and Manchester Traction Company
amounted to $15,643 7& The Manchester
Company offers as a compromise $6,868 83.
According to the opinion of the City So
licitor the statute of limitations would bar
all claims prior to 18S6. The amount that
it would be possible tor the city to collect
would be $3,175 03.
The charges against the Pleasant Valley
Company and its branches, as per auditor's
report and the company's report for 1892.
amount to $2S,874 51, covering a period of
17 years; the statute of limitations, would,
if taken advantage of, bar a large portion of
above claim. The Pleasant Vallsy Bailway
Company offers in settlement in full to
July 1, 1892, $14,500. The committee rec
ommended the acceptance of the sum of
$21,3G8 83 offered in compromise settlement
ol all claims up to July 1. 1892.
The matter of stock dividends was not re
ported as the City Solicitor has not as yet
rendered an opinion on the subject The
committee also recommends that a special
committee be appointed to prepare an ordi
nance to cover the street car question for
the future.
City Solicitor Elphinstone here gave as
his opinion that the stock issued to the
stockholders at the time ot the reorganiza
tion of the companies was not in tbe nature
of a dividend and therefore was not taxable.
Mr. Lewis moved that the City Solicitor
draft a resolution for Councils.as the recom
mendation of the Finance Committee, set
tling the claims on the basis recommended
by the sub-committee. This motion was
adopted.
AN ASSU2ED SUCCESS.
The rress Club Benefit the Finest Ever
Given in Tills City.
A number of the highest priced seats for
the Press Club benefit, bought by parties
who favor the project, have been returned
with tbe explanation that they cannot at
tend, and asking that they be resold for the
same benefit. This fact adds much to the
sympathy in which the affair is held, and
also gives a number of people, who would
otherwise be unable to attend, a chance to
get them.
Subscriptions are swelling daily and are
coming in large quantities. "Manager
Wilt, of the Grand Opera House, has kindly
permitted Messrs. Frye and Hamilton, of
the James Beilly Company, to appear in
their famous specialty, through the courtesy
of Mr. Eeilly's manager, James E. Orr.
The entertaiument will undoubtedly be the
best ever seen in Pittsburg.
Using Birds as Ornaments,
For every rare bird that becomes part of

Many of the birds shot at are either wound
ed so badly that they escape to die unseen,
or are so mutilated as to be useless for dec
oration. Surely after this statement reflec
tion must show every woman that the fash

MIRACULOUSLY ESCAPES DEATH,
Then Wares His Utt at Pursuers and Tries
to Get Away.
MONET TROUBLES DR0YE HIM CRAZI
The charm which is said to surround the
life of a lunatic was illustrated yesterday.
Herman Hittj, an unfortunate but rigorous
imbecile from Somerset county, leaped
head first through a car window and landed
on his head, yet escaped serious injury.
The train was moving at the rate of 35
miles an hour. It was the Baltimore and
Ohio train which reaches this city about 2
in the afternoon. Hitty was in charge of
Steward Miller, of the Somerset County
Home, and a cousin of his who lives at
Myersdale. They were taking him to Dix
mont Hitty was quiet and gave his guardians
no trouble when first put on the train. Tne
changing scenery along the road seemed to
attract his attention as the train whirled
along, until he finally dropped into what
appeared a deeD sleep. Just beyond Lay
ton station the steward, who had purchased
The Madman's Leap From a Train.
some apples from the newsboy on the train,
stepped away from his seat beside the
unatic to get a bill changed by another
passenger.
A Madman's Dash for Liberty.
Hardly had Miller turned his back when
Hitty threw off his disguise and jumped to
his feet The boy understood the situation,
and fearing tbe madman would break for
the door, grabbed him by the arm. Hitty
made ho outcry, but with one well-directed
blow sent the boy sprawling on the floor.
Then he kicked his apple basket, sending
the fruit flying in every direction. Before
anyone realized what had happened, Hitty
then stood up on the car seat, and, posing
himself for an instant like a diver, made a
desperate leap headfirst right through the
window.
It required less time than it takes to tell
it for the whole incident, and the crashing
of the glass was the first intimation that
his guardians had of the madman's feat
The train was just prssing through a cut
and it was supposed Hitty's mangled body
would be found lying against the embank
ment when the train was stopped and the
crew ran back. The first thing they saw
when they alighted, however, was the mad
man standing on the embankment waving
his hat in demoniacal glee and cursing those
wno naa detained him.
Again Attempted to Escape.
As they approached he turned and en
deavored to break for the woods, but was
euuii overladen ana pjacea aooara tne
train. His injuries consisted of a severe
scalp wound and bruises about the body. A
Pittsburgh physician dressed him up, much
against his will, and later he was success
fully taken to the Dixmont hospital.
Hitty belongs to a respectable family in
Somerset county and he had some property
of his own when he married. His wife also
owned considerable property in her own
name, and while she lived Hitty was a
happy man. All this was changed on her
death two years ago. Her death was a
severe blow to him, but when her relatives
went into court, contested his right to her
property and won their suit, it completely
unsettled his mind. It was found after her
share had been taken he had almost noth
ing left and he was placed in the County
Home insane department Recently his
relatives kindly decided to place him in
Dixmont in the hope of effecting a cure.
It is thought probable he can be cured in a
few months with proper treatment

LOOK OUT FOR THE COMET.
A New One Visible Here With an Opera
Glass WiU Grow Much Brighter An
nounced at the icademy of. Science
Last Night
A comet, visible in this section with an
opera glass, is wandering around through
the heavens. Prof. Brashear announced it
at the meeting of the Aca'demy of Science
and Art last night The professor was down
on the cards for a talk about his recent trip
through the great scientific workshops 'of
Europe, but just before he went to the
meeting he received a telegram relative to
the comet and he made that the leading
feature of his talk. The message came
from John Bitchie at Harvard College,
stating that the comet, a bright one, had
been discovered in the nebula: ot An
dromeda, one of the stars in the great
square or Pegasus. It lies northwest of
the great square and is visible almost
directly overhead in this country at about
8 o'clock in the evening.
From a telegram received a few days ago
from Prof. Berberich, of Berlin, Prof.
Brashear believes it to be the Biela's comet,
which astronomers supposed had disin
tegrated into meteors. If it is the Biela's
comet, Prof. Brashear,says. it will become
much brighter and be visible here for a con
siderable time. He gave an interesting
history of that famous comet It was dis
covered in 1826 by M. Biela, an Austrian
officer, having a revolution requiring six
years and eight months to Complete. A
French scientist announced at that time
that the comet would cross the earth's path
in 1832, producing great alarm in France, it
being predicted that the globe would be de
stroyed by the collision. It passed the
earth 50,000,000 miles away. It retnrned in
1845,m two parts, widely separated. In
1852 it again appeared, the two parts being
1,250,000 miles apart Since then it has ap
peared several times, but greatly diminished
in magnitude, leading to the belief that it
had disintegrated.
Prof. Brashear's talk about European
workshops mainly showed the jealousy
with which they were guarded from visitors
for fear their secrets would be stolen. In
visiting them he had found them far be
hind America in every respect, and saw
nothing to steal. He was greatly disap
pointed at the back number indications he
found atthe famous Greenwich observa
tory, which he described as a scrap heap.
The French and Germans wore far ahead
of the English, but no: up to the Amer
icans. Prof. Keller followed with an interesting
talk about Mars, including drawings taken
recently of that planet

The English members of the Welsh Con
gregationalist Church, on Sidney street,

decide whether they will secede and form a
new congregation. They claim their
children cannot understand the Welsh
language and they want the services con
ducted in English. The only question is
whether a new church would" be self-supporting,
the members having fully ex
pressed their determination to flock by
themselves. Bev. Mr. Jones, of Philadel

The footings have not yet been made as
to the electoral or Congressional votes.
Tbe Democratic office seekers are doing a
great deal of hustling. Tbe rush for offices
has fairly begun. There are already sev
eral candidates for every place to be' filled,
and it will simply be a question of influence
and capability. Ex-Postmaster John Lar
kin yesterday announced himself as a can
didate for Postmaster McKean's place.
There are several petitions now in circula
tion among his friends. Patrick Foley is
looked upon as having favorable prospects
for this position also. Being an intimate
friend of Harrity, who is expected to have
the naming ot the postmasters at Philadel
phia and Pittsburg, Foley's friends think
that the position is almost assured. Mr.
Foley is not quite sure that he wants tbe
place Samuel A. Duncan and several dark
horses who have not yet expressed their in
tentions publicly, have also entered into
the race The fight will probably be a
lively one.
Commissioner Hoylo for Marshal.
County Commissioner Dennis J. Boyle
has been mentioned for United States
Marshal, but he says if his 'party favors
him with the office of County Commissioner
it is all he cares for,
Daniel Barr is out for the position he
held under the last Democratic administra
tion Collector of the port Ex-Pension
Agent Barclay is said to be also trying for
his old position.
The Allegheny postoffice is also having
its share ot people who want to manage its
affairs for the next four years. Nearly
every prominent Democrat in Allegheny is
striving for the appointment.
Edward G. Lang, who ran against
Emanuel Wertheimer for a scat in the Leg
islature from the first district, has an
nounced himself as a candidate for the posi
tion. Ex-Postmaster Swan, who served
during Cleveland's last administration, has
also been mentioned for tbe place, but he
himself has not yet signified his intention
of entering the fight City Engineer
Bobert Swan, son of ex-Postmaster Swan,
has also been mentioned. Anthony Ken
nedy, who held the position of stamp clerk
under Postmaster Larkin, of Pittsburg, is
also pushed for the place. A. H. Paden
has also announced himself as a candidate.
SETS ON THE SOUrESIDE.
JIow the Republicans Aro Faying for De
feat on That Side of the River.
The Southside is having an exciting time
while election bets are being settled. Last
night Constable Lindner, of Alderman Mo
Qarey's office, who bet on Cleveland with
Luke O'Brien, was given a ride over the
principal streets in -a wheelbarrow.
The men employed at Ihmsen's glass
house had a jollification. Previous to the
election the Republicans and Democrats
employed in the factory entered into a
wnger that whichever party lost shonld
hire a band for a parade ol all tbe men
over the Southside streets. The parade
took nlsce last night, and red fire was
burned in abundance.
On "Wednesday evening the Snee Club
celebrated their champion's supposed vic
tory by having a mock funeral in a mild
sort of wayfor Steele. Kclyine on official
figures to change the result, the Conkling
Club has hired an old hearse and two of the
ugliest mules the Southside can produce for
a Snee funeral which is to take place as
soon as the official count is completed.
The Woman In the Moon.
It seems not to be generally known that
the regal "man in the moon," who for ages
has been looked up to as sole ruler
ot his planet, shares his throne and divides
his honors with tbe loveliest semblance of
woman. Use a good opera or field glass.
Be patient; some fail to- find her at first
The face is in profile and looks toward your
left as you gaze, occupying half the surface
of the moon; the hair dark and coiled
rather high; her throat and neck are radi
antly beautitul. Beyond her profile is
seen the dark face ot a man, looking straight
forward,
EOTH WEBE STJBPBISBtt
John Manchester Surreptitiously Enters
Ills Father's Works and Is Arrested.
For some time past William Man
chester, of the firm of Manchester
& Son, boiler manufacturers at Twenty
eighth street and Spruce alley.has been sys
tematically robbed of valuable brass cast
ings, patterns and scrap. Officer Sam Miller
was detailed on the case, and has been
watching the foundry closely for the past
two weeks. Last night about 8 o'clock, as
he was standing in the shadow of the foun
dry door he saw a man come
hurriedly down the street after
glancing around nervously to see if he was
observed, lift the grating off the coal hole
and crawl in. Officer Miller waited until
the man was well inside, and then, opening'
the door with a key which he had pro
cured from Mr. Manchester some time ago,
went in. He saw a dim light in the office,
and upon reaching the door he heard some
one moving around within. Without a
moment's hesitation he opened the office
door and grabbed the intruder before he
could make .any resistance. He then turned
up the light and to his surprise discov
ered that his prisoner was none other than
John Manchester, the son of the owner of
the foundry. Young Manchester tried to
pass the matter of! as a joke, saying that he
had only gone in to star all night, not wish
ing to go home Despite his assurances,
entreaties and threats, he was removed to
tne Twelfth ward police station and
locked up.
