THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1892.
BaaEgf'ggEjtaEaBiaEiySaggaHBaiBi
Caprivl jratned little or nothing fcy his
epccch, and that ho made no argument to
change the conviction of the people that the
bill is impossible lllchter has let it bo
piven out that he is preriarlnjr a great ora
tion which ho will launch against the Gov
ernment after Christmas, as meantime the
budpetwill require about all the attention
of the Deputies.
Since the death of Wiudthorst-Richter has
been the ablest speaker in the House, and
his speech will be the signal of battle for the
opposition. That he will hardly show as
much advantage as Caprivl, a professional
soldier, as against Bismarck is a foregone
conclusion. .Nevertheless, all the factions
that live to oppose everything proposed by
the Government are prophesying great
things lor him for this winter.
A Long and Bitter Struggle Certain.
I'.ichter's speech will be followed by a long
and bitter struggle, which will repeat the
stirring events of Bismarck's and Wind
thorst's days. The result of this struggle
can only be guessed. The probability now
seems to bo that considerable concessions
must be made before the bill can'be posssd.
As the bill stands nobody believes that it
has even a remote chance of becoming a
law.
The anxiety of the Government to concil
iate the opponents of the military bill was
shown this week by the moderation of tbo
Minister of War in answering Interroca
lions as to the shooting of civilians by
sentries in the public streets. A Strassburg
Deputy wished to know why th? Govern
ment had not given eflect to the Relcbstas's
motion of last winter. This motion urgently
directed attention 10 the necessity of modi
lying the orders of sentries winch were
baeud on antiquated lans at complete var
iance with modern spirit and circumstance'.
General Von Kaltcnborn apparently ex
pected that his conciliatory reply in a form
of a piomise to replace sentries with civil
puards us soon as possible would be re
ceived with effusive manifestations of grati
tude, lie made a previous mistake, for his
ords caused a murmur or protest through
out the Center and Lelt, where the impres
sion prevailed that the Government had
adopted temporizing tactics.
Uitterness of a Social-Democrat.
Taul Singer, Social-Democrat Deputy for
the Fourth district of Berlin, remarked
dryly that thc'llinistor of War did not seem
to realize the gravity of the question. He
apparently nas ignorant of the generally
knon n lact that the officers were as great
offenders in the matter under dicussion as
were thu privates. The Minister's ulan w as
purely oalliatlvc, and would not strike the
evil at Its root. The fact of a growing dan
ger that the Gorman people would bo di
vided against itself, in an armed and un
turned camp, seemed to have escaped the
notice of the Government, although the peo
ple at large could no longer shut tneir eyes
to it.
HeiT Von Boettcher replied, in defense of
the Government, that the promised reforms
would virtually cut off the evil In question,
and leave professional complaincrs like
Singer, without giound to stand on.
Adolph Gioeber. Clerical Deputy rrom
Wuertteinberg, and Eanard Eberty, Inde-
Sendent Deputy from Berlin, in replying to
octtcher spoke in exact agreement with
fcinger, both emphasizing the fact that grow
ing l.atred of the military by theciMliaus
had become a source ot peril to the Govern
ment Karl Hartman. Conservative Deputy from
Saxony, said the Government would do well
to take more radical measures against such
a threatening evil.
Hard Nats for Kaltenborn to Crack.
I Enm Petri, National Liberal from Lor
raine, and the original questioner, thought
General Von Kaltenborn's reply unsatis
factory and oased upon a misconception of
the principle at issue. The minister had
said that the suDstitution of gendarmes or
civil guards would be made in frequented
btieets. Who then would decide which
stiects wcie much frequented and which
were not; Would sentries in the rural dis
tricts bo permitted to shoot down citizens
in small cities and towns, while the large
cities would be exempt Irom such abuses?
Just w here was the citizen to be protected,
and nheienot?
This beries of questions General Von Kal
tcnborn allowed to go unanswered, and the
eubject ws dropped. It will be revived
later, however, to the further embarrass
ment of the Government. The time for its
dUcussion ill depend on the progress of
tLe debate on tbe military bill. A consider
able gioup of members will make a con
cession in the matter of the price of their
votes lor that measure.
There is etery leason to believe that
Capuvi has come or is coming to an under
standing with the Clericals. He is.beiieved
to l,c lead j to move for the repeal of the
anti-Jesuit statutes in leturnfortbe support
ol the Clericals ot the military bill.
Ho'ome Votes Are to lie Gained.
Negotiations with the Poles and National
lAboials ha e also been in progress, but are
not believed to have matured as yet in any
MiDst&ntial gain lor the Government. In
the Conservative party the Chancellor has
uarroned the persistent opposition down to
asmallgioup of ayed-in-tbe-wool Protest
ants nhoui be feels he can afford to offend
-n ith a Jesuit measure of the Clericals. The
anti-Jesuit law is so popular with the ex-
Home Protestant group that they threaten
to bring upon Capuvi the fate of Couut Zed
lit In case he tiy to repeal It. It i as passed
almost at the beginning of the Kulterkampf,
some iu years a-o. In consequence of it
some 11 Jesuit establishments i ere closed
and 31 institutions belonging o affiliated
oiders weie indefinitely suspended. One
hundred Jeuit fathers and 300 other priests
weie drnen from the empire. Many of
these have since returned as private indi
viduals. Others, however, are awaiting the
repeal of the laws against their orders, in
older that they may "return as eagles," as
one of them once prophesied they would do.
Uneasiness Among Thinking Men.
The election to the Beichstagof tho notori
ous Hebrew and slanderer Ahlwardt, in the
loom of the dead Deputy Von Meyer, of the
District i riedcberg-Arnsvalde, has created
much uneasiness among thtnkin: men of all
parties. It has shown unexpected political
power among the anti-Semitics, tlio most
unscrupulous agitators in German politics.
The conlcieuce of Conservatives will take
place here December 8. Strict secrecy will
be observed at all sessions. Only delegates
beating cards will be admitted to the room
in the Tlvolirestanrant,wberemeetlngB will
be held. The programme will be published
on the following .Monday, after being sanc
tioned by the Executive Committee of the
Conservative Electoral Association.
An attempt was made on Thursday to
wreck the house of a manufacturer, Brlemin
Lendersdorf. One dynamite tube was placed
under the steps and another In a crevice in
the loundation. Only the one under the
steps exploded. All the windows in the
house eie broken and the steps were blown
away. Otherwise no damage was done. A
lenard of 600 marks for the discovery of the
men who placed the tubes has been offered.

HUNTING THEIR BOY.
George WolPs Friends Thought He
and
John Ellis Were the Same Person
' Disappointed igaln The Lad Disap
peared BIysteriously Three Tears Ago.
Over three years ago George Wolf left
his home in Jeannette. Since then his
parents have made an untiring search, but
their boy is still missing.
Yesterday a man named Kiefer called at
the Allegheny Department of Public
Safety. lie was a half brother of the miss
ing boy. Kiefer had a photograph of a
handsome young fellow who was Just reach
ing his majority, although he looked several
years younger. A mass of light colored
hair covered his head and hung in ringlets
over a high, handsome forehead. Kiefer
himself is a rather handsome fellow be
tween 23 and 30. but worry is aging him fast.
The picture -nas that ot George Wolf,
taken soon befoie he left the parental roof.
Kiefer thought that possibly John Ellis, the
joung man who lost his reason by leading
dime novels, and his half brother weio the
same. Even to find his brother a maniac
would have been a relief to Kierer. Ho
6howed the picture to Detective Steel and
Captain Agnew. Theyatonce told him that
it and Ellis bore no resemblance. This
seemed hard on Mr. Kiefer. He said: "I
lind hoped to find him at last. I noticed that
Ellis said he was from Westmoreland coun
ty, and this made me stronger in the belief
th.it it was my brother. Tbe boy's mind was
never as sound as it might have been,
and there was plenty of room for
the belief that, he might eo the
Fame road as young Ellis. George Wolf lelt
home over thtce years ago. I cannot tell
you the reason; I have several ideas, but I
am not sure that they are the cause. Since
thon I have hunted him everywhere. I have
traveled all over the country looking for
him. Several times we received word that
he nas dead, but the reports were untrue. I
will now have to go home and tell the folks,
ns I have done otten In the past three years,
that I have not fonnd George."
John Ellis Is still at Dixmont. The West
moreland County Commissioners were at
Allegheny police headquarters Saturday
night, and Intended to go dowr to the asy
lum. They did not go yestord' and Ellis'
juenwy is arm unknown.
U.UU1IU.J.
E If! THE DARK,
Immigrant Inspector Layton
Explains the Methods
Used to Evade,
THE CONTRACT LABOE LAW.
Witnesses Become Frightened and
Eefnse to Testify in the
BELGIAN GLASSWORKERS' CASE.
President Eberhart Says Restrictions Must
Be Increased.
KEED OF INSPECTIONS IN EUROPE
"The alien contract labor law has been
evaded again, that's all," said Immigration
Inspector K. D. Layton yesterday when a
reporter of The Dispatch called his at
tention to the order of Acting Secretary of
the Treasury'Spaulding lor the release of
the 13 Belgian glassworkers detained at
Kew York.
"The best evidence and the only evidence
usually obtainable of breaches of the con
tract labor law, " continued Mr. Layton, "is
purely circumstantial. You can't expect
men who arc breaking the law to have
themselves labeled 'Imported under con
tract,' nor can yon hope that the men on
this side who make money out of the busi
ness, from the laborer imported and the
manufacturer who gets the cheap labor, to
conduct his business openly. The whole
bnsin ess is done in the dark, and we very
seldom get more conclusive evidence of the
parties' guilt than we had in this case.
"Let us look over the evidence we had.
"When I returned irom a trip to Northwest
ern New York the last week in October I
received a tip from Jeannette that an im
portation of Belgian glassworkers was to
be looked for in about a week's time.
Very Positive Testimony Secured.
"I went out to Jeannette on November
5, and with the help ot some interpreters of
a rather unsatisfactory sort for they could
hardly speak English I managed to get
Irom several Belgian glassworkers there
the information which has already been
published, to the eflect that two men who
live at Jeannette, Emil Emanuel Frank
and Frank Mason, had contracted with 30
glassworkers living in Belgium to get them
jobs at Jeannette and other glass centers at
a uniform rate of 515 apiece. I got the de
scription, even, ot the men who were
coming, how they would be dressed, with
top hats, etc, gloves on their hands,
and in the second cabin of the steamer.
Thirty were expected in the first batch, ten
in the second. Some of the witnesses told
me very distinctly that they had heard
Emil Emanuel Frank say that he was to
get $15 from each man for getting him a
job. I sent word to Commissioner Webber
in New York, and his inspectors at the port
had no difficulty in identifying the men on
the steamer Friesland, which had left Ant
werp at the time my informants had pre
dicted the suspects would sail. The only
and trifling point Upon which my informa
tion did not tally with the facts was that
the men arrested as they left the Friesland
did not wear kid gloves-to, conceal the trade
marks on their hands.
Itesnlt of the Examination.
"Well, in response to Commissioner
Webber's summons, I went on to New
York on Friday, November 11, and began
the examination of the immigrants on Ell s"
Island on Saturday. They all denied they
were glassworkers at first though they
admitted that they came from the glass
"manufacturing towns of Cbarleroi and
Jummet in Belgium. They said they had
no acquaintance with one another at home,
that they did not act in concert in
coming to America, and that they met for
the first time on shipboard. During the
voyage they had not talked about where
they were going or what they were going
to do. They denied having been posted by
the officers of the ship as to what they
should say to the inspectors at the Barge
Office.
"Pressed by me, they admitted, or at
least 14 of them did, that they had been
glassworkers and came to this country to
follow their trade. The remaining 16 stuck
to It that they were coal miners, although,
strange to say, they were all bound for
tonus like Jeannette, Butler and Pittsburg,
here no coal is mined. All of the men de
nied having paid money or contracted to
pay anyone for the work tbey hoped to find.
Wa oluntarily agreed to admit the alleged
coal miners, but I framed an Indictment
against the remaining 11, and Comtnissioner
Webber decided that they should be sent
back. Before this verdict had been reached
the Belgian Consul in Sew York laid the
matter before the Belgian Minister at Wash
ington, and be asked for a rehearing for tbe
men on Tuesday, November 15. The Fries
land sailed the next day, November 16 and
without the 14 Belgians who were admitted
to another trial. Alter a full consideration
of the evidence Commissioner Webber ad
Judged them guilty again.
Unusual Action of the Consul.
"The Belgian Consul again appealed to his
superior at Washington, and the Minister
took tbe unprecedented step of asking for
further investigation. Superintendent of
Immigration On en then diiected me to pro
ceed to Jeannette and go over the ground
again. Last Wednesday 1 reached Jean
nette and found that all tbe men wbo had
testified on the previous occasion had taken
fright. They were atruid of being hauled
into court, of losing tbelr places if they told
the truth. Not one of them would suy un
der oath what he had told me almost un
asked when I went there first. In the
meanwhile tbe Belgian Consul here bad got
ten from Emil frank an affidavit denying
that he had offered or contracted to get lobs
at Jeannette or elsewhere lor his fellow
countrymen. I cannot say that I was sur
prised that the Treasury Department
ordered the suspects to be released. Im
mense piessure had been brought to bear
and hard sn earing did the rest.
"I still think tho 11 will have to pay their
$15 apiece to the man, whoever he may be
wbo promised them jobs at that price. The,
first information I got was too exact, and
agreed too minutely with the facts as they
came out, to be a cooked-up story. The men
came just as I said they would come; their
very denial of a pre-arranged plan, of
mutual acquaintance, of learning before
hand tbe btory that tbey should use as a
passport, t ere points against their bouaff de
character.
Need for More Rigid Laws.
"This case has proved to me again that
the steamship companies and their officers
will do anything and everything to aid Im
migrants In bleating -the contract labor
law. Now I have the affidavit of one of tbe
Inte rpreters at the Barge Office, New Tork,
to the effect that he heard one of the Fries
land officers say in French to 'the Belgian
glassworkers as they were being landed: 'Do
recollect what you have to tell?' They
knew their story too well; each man reeted
off the same yarn, but we pricked holes fast
enough in them when we cross-examined
them separately."
"What addition to or alteration In the law
would you suggest to keep out such immi
grants?" was asked.
"A much larger restriction of Immigration
is the only remedy I see," replied Mr. Lay
ton. "I really do not see how we can keep
this class of immigrants out. They are not
objectionable at all, let me be understood,
except us Imported under contract.. They
are all nice-looking, woll-dressod men. The
poorest of them had over 500 francs, or over
100 in their clothes,and one had 2,700 francs,
or about $500.
Praise for Immigration Inspectors.
"l want to say also that tbe immigration
officers at New York are doing splendid
work, and I have to thank Commissioner
Webber, Assistant Commissioner O'Belrno
and Supervising Inspector Uilooly for the
assistance they gave me in this case. They
did all they could, and thanks to them a
great many undesirable immigrants are
being excluded."
"Do you know whether the subject of re
striction of Immigration is being much dis
cussed in labor circles, as Mr. Weihe and
Mr. Roberts, of the Amalgamated, told the
Senatorial Committee which sat here the
other day, was the case?"
"Yes, Ido," replied Mr. Layton positively.
"The interest in the question is not confined
to labor circles at all. I am constantly re
ceiving suggestions and advice from all
sorts of people, and the drift of the popular
sentiment Is unmistakably towards radical
restriction of immigration. The working
men are full of It, and they are rapidly com
ing to tbe conclusion that if they are to
enjoy the frnlts of their industry and of a
free, popular government they must put up
the bars against the cheap Atbor of the Old
World. The party that realizes this first
will leap a great reward. I exnecttosea
new laws passed within a year from now to
ch ecc immigration. The present wide-spread
movement to that end, I may be pardoned
tor recalling, was predicted in The Dispatch
by me some time ago."
THE LAWS MUST BE CHANGED.
The Bringing In of the Belgians Under the
Circumstances Shows the Present Law
to Be Inadequate Immigrants Should
Be Examined Before Going Aboard
Vessels.
The landing of the 19 Belgian glass
blowers at New York Saturday caused
quite a little comment in labor circles yes-.
terday. The window glass workers have
been taking a great interest in the efforts to
keep them out, as the Belgian workers di
rectly concern their interests. President
John P. Eberbart, in speaking of the subject
yesterday, said: "While I have been taking
much interest in this case and
watching it olosely, it has been
entirely in the hands of Mr. Layton, and I
do not care to say much about what has
been done. However, I can say that from
the first I felt sure those men were brought
here under undue influence, and I think so
still. After all, the evidence was only cir
cumstantial, but tbe circumstances were
very strong and the facts were ably pre-
sented. Had It not been for the Belgian
Minister those men would have been sent
back.
"I think this case emphasizes more
strongly than ever the necessity for a
change in tbe immigration laws. Tbe laws
are as strict as tbe present conditions will
permit, but the conditions must be changed.
For instance, I would recommend that all
Immigrants coming to this country be ex
amined on the other side. As it now is it is
almost impossible to make a strong enough
case against anyone to keep him from land
ing, after he has been brought to this side.
The steamship companies are directly in
terested iu this matter, and ant to keep
the Immigrants hers. The case of the Bel
gian glasBblowers now makes this
change almost imperative, unless
the laws are to be constantly violated. The
present laws have been tried, and they do
not fill the bill, aB I believe us hard a fight
has Deen made as was possible, but it did
not keeD those immigrants out.
"I do not think many glass blowers will
be brought in, as work is plenty now in
Belgium, but this does not prevent "them or
any kind or workmen, for that matter, irom
coming here under undue influence in direct
violation of the law if they choose to do so."
THINKS THE SAME WAY.
Master Workman Dempsey Says the Case
Interests Every Workman.
Master Workman Dempsey, of tbe Knights
of Labor, manifested much interest in the
Belgian glassblowers' case, when it was men
tioned to him yesterday. He said: "It was
a miscarriage of justice and an insult to
American workmen. It is plainly evident
that the laws mnst be changed and I believe
they will. It is a question that concerns
every laborer in the country."
FOEEB BOOM BAIDED.
Some High-Toned East Enders Caught
Around the Green Cloth.
"Cash in your chips, gentlemen." It was
Captain Whitehouse who spoke and this
was the first intimation the Inmates of a
fashionable East End poker room had that
they were trapped about 1 o'clock yester
day morning. The raid had been most care
fully planned for a week or more. Tho
room was on the second floor of a building
at Station and Havel streets. It was hand
somely furnished with brussels carpet,
sideboard, two noker tables and about 600 or
600 chips, beside the other accessories of a
first-class game. The place is patronized
only by the upper ten and has been in ex
istence for a few weeks.
When the officers entered tbe place yester
day morning ten men were seated about the
tables engaged playing poker. The police,
under charge of Captain Whitehouse, were
In citizens' clothes, and the gamblers were
caught in tbe very act of handling the
pasteboards. There was no time for conceal
ment, as the surprise was complete. Teddy
Ludwick, the alleged proprietor of the place,
and nine visitors were caught in tbe net. At
the station house all the prisoners gave fic
titious names. They were well dressed and
carried a plentiful supply of money, each
paying his forfeit and piomptly securing his
lelease.
SET TEE CHILD OK A STOVE.
George Holman Sent to the Workhouse
for Cruelty to a Child.
George Holman was given a hearing be
fore Magistrate Leslie yesterday morning on
a charge of disorderly conduct. Holman
was arrested at his boarding house, on tbe
corner of Forty-eighth and Hatfield streets,
by Officer Adair at the request of Jacob Bur
bach, proprietor of the house, who claimed
Holman had wilfully set his 3-year-old
daughter on a hot stove. At
the hearing , Burbach testified that
hi 3-year-old) daughter .was play
ing in the noom where Holman was;
that Holman bncame annoyed at the child's
pranks and caught her np and set her down
on a hot stoveburning her about the legs
in an extremely painful manner. Fred Bur
hack, an uncli of tho child, and Fred
Krugher.a boarder in the house, corrobora
ted Burbach'a testimony. Holman was
given 30 days to tbe workhouse, and in the
meantime an! information will be made
against him for aggravated assault and bat
tery and he will be given a hearing when re
leased. HIGH' WATEE EXPECTED.
Bright Prospects for Lively Times Along
the Elver From the Heavy Kalns.
The heavy ain of last night was the first
real heavy water fall for the past four
months. Beports indicate that it was pretty
general. The prospects for lively times
along the rivers are good and a big rise is
expected to-day. Some of the lighter pack
ets have been running but there has not
been enough water to Justify the opening of
the season In earnest. With the coming of
the rise barge water is earnestly expected.
This will make business brisk and allow
the river operators to get out a good deal of
their coal. The price in the lower market Is
bright and) the one who gets his coal out
first will mike the big money of the season.

MUKTHY ONCE MORE.
A Great Crowd Turned Out at the
Grand Opera House to Hear Him.
AN ALLIANCE WITH KEBLETITES.
Gcspel Temperance and the Cure to Fall
Together in the Future.
QUITE A NUHBEE SIGNED THE PLEDGE
There was another great outpouring of
people at the.Grand Opera House last even
ing to hear Francis Murphy. At 6 o'clock
the large vestibule was crowded with men
and women waiting for the doors to open.
The line extended out on Fifth avenue and
interfered with traffic. Ten minutes after
the locks were turned the house from the
pit to the gallery was packed, and all who
came afterward went back home. An
andience larger thau the one inside couldn't
get in at all.
The temperance orator was never In bet
ter voice or form. He never made a more
eloqnent address, and at its conclusion a
number of men came forward, signed the
pledge and a piece of bine ribbon was tied
frandi Murphy.
in the buttonhole on the lapels of their
coats. At one time a woman got hysterical,
bet she was soon silenced. The stalwart
l'rof. W. H. Weedon, who will travel with
Mr. Murphy, had charge of the singing.
He sang a number of solos that pleased the
audience, and ouly an encore would satisfy
the peoDle.
Mr. Murphy has allied himselt with the
Keeleyites. A number of Dwight graduates
occupied seats on the platform. Prominent
in the iront row were Samuel Moore, the
President of the National Keeley League,
and J. M. Kelly, the Secretary. Mr. Mur
phy said that like his temperance move
ment the organization had its inception in
Pittsburg.
Mnrpliyites Not Pleased With the Combine.
Some of the Murphyites are not alto
gether in line with the new order of things,
but they are willing to sacrifice their objec
tions for the good of the cause. Others In
dorsed the alliance, and were glad that sci
ence bad finally come to the aid of the gos
pel. They expect that with the two foices
pulling together a gie.it deal more can be
accomplished. But, while the name of
Keeley and his cuio were dragged into
tbo proceedings occasionally, It was
virtually an old-time genuine gospel
temperance meeting. It was conducted by
Murphy in his unique way. One of these
gatherings would be sadly out of joint if
Joseph R. Hunter was not the clmii man, and
the fiery Captain Barbour, "Old Blown of
the Panhandle," Uncle Tommy Jones,
Colonel "rates, Gilbert A. McMusters, John
Moreland, Mr. Ilopo and other veterans were
not present to relate tnolr experi
ences and invite drunkards to sign
tho pledge. The old boys were there.
It was a reunion for them, and
John M. .Kelly.
tbe Keeleyites were welcomed. All through
the meeting Mr. Murphy was like a Jumping
jack, always active, never still for a mo
ment and keeping up a fire of witty remark3
that made his healers think. "I've got my
eye on you Doys, you young fellows back
there." he said once. "Tou had better swear
off. The doors are locked, and you can't get
out." Captain Bai hour was inti oduced as a
man "composed of material as tough as
hickory. You can make good axe handles
out of him." Old Brown, oi the Panhandle,
said if he had not been adtundaidfor 30
years to-day he would be able to pitch
pennies with Andy Carnegie. Mr. Muiphy
remarked that the Captain nas a rich man
anyhow. George SholT broke the pledge,
but be signed it again, and intends to
keep it.
The Old Boys All Talk.
The usual speeches were made by the vet
erans who stopped drinking 16 years ago
when tbe movement was started in Pitts
burg. A telegram from Ed Murphv and a
letter from Judge Xoah Davis, or tbe New
York Superior Court, were read. The Judge
was recla'med by Murphy and he has not
forgotten it. He sent a poem that he wrote
years ago and dedicated to Mr. Muiphy.
The subject was the gospel temperance
work. It has never been published, and
wns lead In public for the first time last
night.
Among the speakers was Samuel Moore,
President of tho National Keeley League.
He said: "The league Is njear and a half
old. It is composed of 10,000 sober men, and
lam acquainted wit l thiee-fourths or them.
I am in u crowd that is helping men to keep
sober. All the drunkaids are not in the
gutter. Many of them aie in these fine
houses, and wo want to save them. I have
no hard luck stories to relate."
Murphy Tou have plenty of money.
"I don't know about that, butevery dollar
I have I made honestly, and I am willing to
spend them on the boys to help them to
keep straight."
John Kelly, Secretary of the National
Keeley League, saldr "I am glad to be here
with Francis Murphy representing as I do
a new force. Francis Murphy has been
saving men throngh tbe gospel of temper
ance. He stands here to-night carrying on
the work which is God given. While Keelev
cured me, I wnnt to ay that I am a temper
ance man all over. You boys who n 111 sign

the pledge to-night will be guarding against

thank God'for Mnrphvand Keeley. I thank
God that the Murphy and Keelev forces
have joined hands."
Murphy We are married. Laughter.
Kelly We want to save men who can't
keep the pledge.
Joseph It. Hunter opened tho meeting and
Introduced Mr. Murphy. He said he was
thrilled with the temperance advocate's
eloquence and touched with his sincerity.
Mi. Murphy had worked the greatest re
form of modern times. Everybody ap-
Jtoore.
Proves the cause, and ho was glad a scien
tific remedy had been discovered to help
men in keeping the pledge. Then Mr. Mur
phy came forward and made the speech of
the evening. The temperance orator said:
He Was Home Again.
".Home again. Home again in this great
city, to be greeted by you and the men who
have been saved. I am proud to be here. I
thank God for the newspaper men. They
are the Christian gentlemen of Pittsburg.
They never betraved ma. and there i.q tin
reason why anybody should be afraid of
them. Men like Joseph R. Hunter, Captain
Barbour and others have upheld my hands
and to them I am profoundly grateful. 1 will
never lorget when I first came to Pittsburg.
I was intioduced by that silver-tongued
orator, W. C. Moreland. He is the most
eloquent man I ever heard. He lias a great
heait like a garden. I remember I trembled
like an aspen leaf. On my way to the city I
read a little Bible all the time. Then Mrs.
Hell on and other lading called on met At thn
Monongahela House. I will never forget
Ills, llerion. She was a tall woman. I said
to her I want you to pray for me. She
replied with tears in her eyes: 'Francis
Murphy, I have been praying for you.' I
hadn't any doubt or my success after that.
"I never will forget the meetings we held
when we U36d to tie a piece of paper to the
gate to show that e were there. I can't
forget how the old boys full of whisky up to
their neckties staggeied up to the door, and
how we invited them in. God help the sup
posed good people wbo never had a tempta
tion. Perhaps if their infirmities were held
up to the sunlight tlioy would not smell as
sweet as whisky. Many of the old boys
have died by the wavside. Some of them
weio murderod before Dr. Keeley was sent
with his medicine to heal thorn. I love the
drunkards. I never turned my back on
them. Many of the best men In thl9 city
have been murdered because we hadn't this
medicine to save them. They went to un
timely graves without a kind word said for
them.
Murphy Is Prond of Pittsburg,
"I am proud of Pittsburg. I would be un
grateful wefe I not. I know 1 have said lots
of things on this platform that are not pop
ular, but I am not seeking popularity. Now
men, be true to yourselves. It depends on
you whether you aie saved or not. I
wouldn't have you sign the Dledge against
your will. The religion or Jesus persuades
men to be good. It does not coerce them.
Chi ist doesn't come with the patrol wazon
and $10 and cots. We don't have to give up
our last ducat to have our sins forgiven. It
isn't necessary now to kill cattle nnd place
them up in tho sunlight for the l emission of
sins. We say to-day: Be decent aud quit
your enssedness. Remember that we placed
Lincoln's great motto at tho head of this
work. They bad to transplant old Abe to
Illinois, a hey couldn't get enough toll In
Kentucky nnd Indiana to raise him.
"It is wondeiful what a city we have. I
speak of it all over the country. 'You come
from the Smoky City?' people say to mo.
Yesl answer. Wouldn't you like to have; a
little smoke' in your town! This is a great
woiksbop, full of thobnm of industry and
mnznilicent heroism. I see that Senators
Galllnger and 1'effer were here looking
around. Well, it scared me when I first went
Into some of the mills. I have seen men
blow bottles, and I thonght their cheeks
weie puffea out that the bottle, was coming
out ot their ears. Go on Pittsburg, my heart
IS Willi OU. ,
The Effects of Sorrow.
"There is nothing like sorrow to make a
man find himself. It takes all the egotism
oucofhim. I had a queen of a mother. Tho
sweet and holy lile she led was a blessing to
her prodigal son. I came to Amorlca when
I was 18 years old. What a fortune my
mother was to mel In my drinking days I
was not mean. Drinking men, as a rule, lire
not mean. All the institutions made for
young men, the poor boys, are occupied by
people who have good homes. Tho same is
true ot the girls. Many people like to fish
for sealskin sinners. Say, folks, we must
get down among tbe common people. I don't
believe in hanging the leat of biead so high
up In tne steople that the cbngregation can't
get a piece of it. The religion we want is
w nai. soino ouier leiiow nas triea Himself.
Bowaieof the intoxicating cup, you who are
flirting with whisky. It-is an incorrigible
fiend. When I was incarcerated nobody
came to see me. I was alone. Two little Doys
came into a loom with a basket of cakes and
pie-.. I told them to tako it llome. They
said: "We don't need It as much as you do,
father.' And they wouldn't take it Dack
with them. The nope of my heart is that
Pittsburg will bury me without a stain on
my life or my pledge. I signed tho pledge 22
yeais ago and I have kept it. Thank God,
there will be a club room and a home in
Pittsburg for the Murphyites."
The temperance meetings will be con
tinued for tne next two weeks in Lafayette
Hall beginning to-night. Mr. Murphy is
arranging to secuie the Brimstone Metho
dist Church for noon-day prayer meetings.
He hopes he will be granted the use of the
lecture room.

MORROW MAT STAI IN.
Claim That He Will Accept a Ke
nomination if It Is Offered.
DOES NOT DENY THE STATEMENT.
George Miller Tlaits Washington in Ee
sponse to a Telegram,
PEAMISG PLEDGES FOR CANDIDATES
Politics received a little attention yester
day notwithstanding it was a day of rest.
The retirement of 'Squire Morrow as a
candidate for Controller and the effect of it
on the slate of the Republican leaders, were
much discussed. There were many guesses
as to who would be likely to take Mr. Mor
row's place on the various tickets. Mayor
Gourley was spoken of as if it were a mat
ter of course he would be an Inde
pendent or Citizens' candidate .for the con
trollersbip, the names of various well
known Democrats being associated as the
Mayoralty candidates, and Major Deanis
ton to be indorsed as his own successor.
A Republican ticket with Major Mon
tooth for Mayor, Postmaster McKean for
Controller and Major Dennlston for Treas
urer seemed to meet with more approval
than any other combination suggested. It
was generally conceded this would be a
hard ticket to beat even by those who favor
Mr. Gourley's nomination.
Controller Morrow Slay Not Retire.
Some surprise was caused by a statement
made by a city official yesterday that Con
troller Morrow would be renominated de
spite his withdrawal. This gentleman of
fered to bee $100 against double that amount
that Mr. Morrow would succeed himself.
The aigumentwas made that In the Impend
ing contest the Republican leaders will
have their hands quite full enough to elect
a candidate for Mayor without risking tbe
controllership; that by nominating Morrow
Mayor Gourley would be kept out of tbe
fight and there would be no other opposi
tion. It was also claimed that the only rea
son Mr. Morrow witnurew was tnat he was
afraid tbe leaders would not support him,
but if assured of the nomination by the
right persons he would reconsider and ac
cept. When Controller Morrow was seen at his
residence last night he declined either to
affirm or deny the statement. He said he
made it a practise not to discuss business or
politics on Sunday, but from his manner it
was easy to be seen the question was not
new to him.
George Sillier Gone to Washington.
George Miller went to Washington last
night. It is said the trip is the result of a
telegram received from the Secretary of the
Treasury Saturday evening requesting Mr.
Miller to come on and give a decisive
answer relative to his appointment as In
ternal Revenue Collector. It seems to be
understood be will accept the nlace, and
that immediately on his return he will
assume charge of tbe office. He was also
talked of Saturday and yesterday as a con
trollership candiaateln oventof Postmaster
McKean's refusal to run.
Ex-Mayor Fulton was at City Hall last
night, and in the discussion of politics some
one suggested that he should enter the con
trollership fight. His answer Vas character
istic. "Oh, no," said he, "there's too much
guessing all around in this fight to suit me.
Wait till It comes a little easier."
The leaders of both the Republican and
Democratic parties in this city kept out of
sight yestciday It was said the friends of
Magistrate McKenna were in caucus on the
subject of bis nomination for Mayor, but
none of them could be found. Mr. McKenna
was not at home. Mr. Guffey was out of
the city, and efforts to find anyone likely
to know anything of the caucus were fruit
less. Little wa3 heard during tbe dav about
Saturday night's meeting of the Republican
City Committee, and that little was to the
effect that C. L. Magee had made ashiewd
move in combining the three nominating
conventions In one.
ALL UNIONS INTERESTED.
Tho Citizens' Industrial Alliance Holds An
other Large Meeting Fifty New Dele
gates Taken In Besolntlons on the
Critchlow Verdict.
The meeting of the Citizens' Industrial
Alliance was held in Odd Fellows Hall
on Soutli Eighteenth street yesterday after
noon. It lasted four hours, and during that
time many warm discussions were indulged
In. About 400 delegates were present from
all the labor organizations in the county.
C. V. Arbogast presided. A number of wage
earners' unions were reported to have been
organized and asked recognition from tbe
Alliance. About 50 new delegates paid their
initiation fees, and will hold their offices for
the coming year.
Upon the lecommendatlon of the Execu
tive Committee a special committee will
draft a pledge or declaration of principles
which all tbe members of the Alliance will
be asked to sign. They will then be sub
mitted to the candidates for the coming elec
tion for thier concurrence. Any candidate
who refuses to do this will not be supported.
In f eeklng out men for tbo various offices,
no respect is to bo paid to party affiliations
but only fitness and loyalty to the cause of
labor will be considered. There are many
diversified opinions held by the members of
the Alliance as to Just what tbe purpose of
the orgauication is, but there Is more har
mony than at first so that the speeches are
becoming a unit as to tbe neoessity of united
action.
There are two wage-earners' unions
aireauy in Aiiegneny, Dot arrangements
have been made to hold a monster mass
meeting at No. 63 Ohio street, Allegheny,
next Friday. All tbe labor unions in the
two cities have been invited and a big turn
out is expected.
The Alllanco yesterday adopted the fol
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That in the trial and acquittal
of Sylvester Critchlow we realize that the
manhood and patriotism that sent forth to
the world that tbere is a place on earth
where tyranny cannot lightly take the life
of tbe industrious poor, and that the patriot
ism of its people has made lc the greatest
nation on earth, is but slumbering in the
hearts of the people awaiting only tbo touch
of tbe tyrant to stir tbe smouldering embers
Into a flume that lights tbe altar of every
home in the land. Be it further
Resolved, 1 bat in the glorious defense of
Erwln and Argo, Marshall, Brennen, Cox,
Montooth and Reardon, not only the Hie of
Sylvester Critchlow was saved, but the
tree of liberty and equality that was first
planted In the soil ot America will live to
spread Its protecting branches over the
humblest citizen or the nation, and In time,
when tbey shall be called to make their
plea before tbe Judge of all, may tbe peace
thev have made this day in behalf of His
children on earth bring the verdict of not
guilty there.
TAKES ISSUE WITH IHE UAfOB.
Believes Belnhaner Would Make a Good
Running Mate for Gourley.
A letter signed by "F. Jones, East End,"
received at this office yesferday, says: "I
see in an interview Uts Honor is quoted as
saying that Belnhauer Is not well known
outside of a few Southslde wards. I beg to
differ with him for the following reasons:
Ho was a member of Select Council for
thiee terms, and the way he fought the ring
could not help attract public attention, and
he has been prominently Identified with all
refoim movements for the last ten years,
and leform with Dim is not of a late day. I
know he is especially strong with the work
ing classes, and they are in a majority. I
predict that he will poll a vote that will sur
prise the natives."

CHASING A RUNAWAY CAR.
How a Freight Car Nearly Outran an En
gineA Spirited Bace From Sheridan
to Pittsburg The Final Capture and
Heroic Work of an Engineer.
Free of brakes and unattended a freight
car thundered over the Panhandle tracks
Saturday night at a speed of 30 miles an
hour. Hot in its wake an engine followed
in pursuit of the runaway. The race started
at Sheridan, but the car was not caught un
til it was nearly at Birmingham station.
Saturday night a freight train was going
west, and just as the last car was passing
Sheridan station it broke away. As though
shot from a cannon, the car disappeared In
the gloom. The conductor had his train to
look after, and could not go in pursuit. Tbe
operator telegraphed to Pittsourg to look
out for the car. At Ingram the message
was heard. There was an engine standing
there already fired up. The operator noti
fied the engineer and the fireman of the
runaway.
The order had hardly escaped the opera
tor's lips until the car thundered past. The
engineer realized tbe death anddestrnction
the fleeing car would cause if it reached
Pittsburg. In an Instant the throttle of his
engine was pulled wide open and like a
grayhonnd tbe Iron horse sped away in pur
suit. By that time the car had passed
from sight and only the gloom
of a very dark night was visible.
The engine never ran faster. It
bounded over tbe rails like a bound in pur
suit of a fox. A curve in the road brought
the runaway in sight, and from then until
the racers thundered over the Temperance
vllle trestle work a prettier race was never
run. From the time the car came In sight,
the engine slowly gained on it. As the Poin t
bridge was passed the engine touched the
prisoner, then tbe engineer did a heroic
thing. Leaving his engine going at
fnll speed he run hack over
the tender and quickly made a
coupling. He scrambled back to his seat
and commenced to slow np his "horse."
This was done very gradually, and It wa3
not until the west end ot the Birmingham
station was reached that the runaway car
was brought to a standstill. A big .crowd of
people bad gathered there to see the cap
tured and. captor come in.
IF that lot of yonrs is not yet sold, try
advertising it in THE DISPATCH adlets.
A FLOOD STJFFZSEB'S LUCE.
Washed Oat at Tltnsville and Arrested in
Allegheny City.
The Allegheny police, shortly after 8
o'clock last night, arrested nine Italians in
a house on Craig street. Frank August had
invited eight of his countrymen in for tho
evening. They were having a good time
playing cards, drinking and singing, when a
row between two of them over a game of
cards occurred, nhich would probably have
ended in a murder had the DOlice not arrived
and arrested the party. The names of those.
arrested are Frank Angu-t, Philip Cartering,
Mike Augnst, Feiix Dowsev, Mike Geruse,
Jacob Carlauzars, Joe Scotdeni, Pat Gau
sea and Joe Martin each put up $30 tor their
appearance this morning, but the rest were
locked up.
Frank August said last night that be has
only been in this country for two years, and
although he has worked hard and been
saving, he basverv little to snow for it. He
said tuut he first located at Tltnsville. Fa..
and hud saved enough money to buy him a
good confectionery and fruit stand in that
town and was getting along nicely, when
the flood of July 5 last came and washed his
stand away, leaving him without a penny.
He came to Allegheny and commenced
peddling bananas. He has saved about $50,
and Intends soon to buy another stand.
