TQ SUE MM AGAIN, BiYermen Will Bring Suits Against Firms That Fill Up the Channel. 22 ALREADY IN COURT. Kqj7 Proceedings to He Begun Against the Same Companies. BUMORS FEOH THE EIVEE MINES. Tfc Finishers -Gaining Ground labor Organization. u a BTKIEERS IT THE UNION HILLS SPLIT The activity of Secretary Tilley. of the Pittsburg Coal Exchange, in watching the manufacturing firms that persist in throw ing refuse from the mills into tne rirer and tilling up the channel, is about to prodnce another large crop of suits. Twenty-two of these companies have been already indicted, and are awaiting trial in court. The Secretary has been keening a close watch on the river banks, to secure additional evidence for new suits. He spent a eood part of yester day in getting a tew additional points to make his position sure. He has had much difficulty in securing this evidences as swce the first suits were entered some time a?o, the firms, while still persisting in using the river as a dumping grounds have been very cautious. They had their men dispose of th material either late in the evening or early in the morning or at times when they were not likely to be no ticed. The rivermen noticed that the work was going on and that their right were being infringed upon as bad as beiore any thing had been done to check the practice. Sid a I.lttlo Detective Work. In-order to find out the guilty parties and catch them at work, the Secretary adopted th: practice of going to the sus pected spots verv early in the morning and seeing for himself how the woOk was done. His efforts have been amply re warded and he now has strong evi dence against a number of firms. He said yesterday that during the coming week a number of new suits would be en tered, as the Exchange intended to push every case to the end. The intention is to have a number of suits against the same firms, so that therewould be no opportunity for leniency after it was shown that the oflenEe had been repeated time and again, and after suits were awaiting trial in court. He stated thai complaints came from all points between Braddock and "Wheeling, but would not say how many firms would be prosecuted. The exchange has been go ing very slow in this matter, bat it has suc ceeded in obtaining a true bill against nearly all firms against whom information has been made. There is but little change In the miners' strike. The tendency of the operators' moves is to have little coal loaded unless all the mines can be worked together at the reduced rate. The efforts of some mine owners to get os many men at work as pos sible by importing new men has not proved very successful, and what coal is mined is fofflats. Xo barges are being loaded. The report that the miners wire""prcVar ing to go to work on Monday at the3-cent rate, claiming they had been granted this advance by a certain firm, was denied on "Water street yesterday. The operators claim they stand a unit in demanding a re duction, and that all have given assurance that they will not break away. Bound by a "Written Pladjre. Every firm in the Coal Exchange is said to be bound under a written agreement to stand or iall together, and the best posted rivermen do not believe a traitor to be in the ranks. There has been a general rumor throughout the valley that the advance would be granted, but it lacks confirmation. As opposed to this one operator said yester day that he expected the stricc to last until the middle of February, as Doth sides were still in good fighting trim. The lollowing appears in the current Issue of the Trades Journal, the official organ of the United Mine "Workers. Since the river coal operators propose to resume wort at S cents a bushel lor mining, which they contend is the district price, as It Is tho prevailing figure at the railroad mines in the same vein of coal, man v in quiries have been received as to rates in the Kanawha district. Among river miners the mining rate in the Kanawha river coal field is said to to as hlch as the railroad price of the I'lttsbur? district. In order to get at tho lacts and tin ow much-needed iisht upon tho subject, the qwry was submitted to Henry Stephenson, Secretary of the United Mine WorKers'ot West Virginia, asking for official figures. Mr. Stephenson replied: "Ihe price for minin? at present is from 2 to 3 cents a bushel in the Kanan ha. Earcroft and Carvers, 2 cents: Kaymond City 2 cents; Winifr?do (two-incn screens), '! and 3 cents: Bluck Diamond, 2K cents; Jfortii Coalbnre nnd Monarch, 2Jf cents: Coolbcv, Cedar Grove, Belmont, Jlouley and Kana wha, 2i cents. This coal should not be mined .or a lower fiicurer than one-quarter cent les than the rate (at the river mlnos) in the Pittsburg district. Considerine 'free lockage and short haul' to the market we should pay the same at Pittsburg." DISSATISFIED STEKEES. Some of the Men at tho Union Mills Leave the Amalgamated Association. There has been a great change in the status of the strike at Lawrenceville dur ing the past week. Last week the strikers ere a unit. All is now changed and there tre two distinct branches. One, including the puddlers and those who have been black-listed, want to continue the fight; the others, including the heaters, rollers, catchers and roughen;, want the strike declared ofll Nearly all those who want the strike declared ofl have gone to the company office and applied lor editions. This lact becoming known, they have been refused the usual $4 a week benefit from the Amalgamated Association. This is the caw with nearly all except the puddlers an hick-listed men, who have no chance to return to work since the puddling department is closed down. Not a little ill feeling has been stirred up by this action of the leaders and all who have been relused benefits now refuse to attend the daily meetings or have anything to do with the order. Several strikers were seen yesterday and they expressed themselves according to the faction to which ihcv belong. It is estimated they are about equal in number. One states that it will continue the strike and the other that it will leave the association and get work hsxer possible. THE TEAE'S WOBK OVEE. The Pipe Mills Having Filled AH Orders "Will Kest on Their Oars for a Time. The year's work for the pipe mill compa nies Is nearly closed. All the contracts have been filled, and the business will not be asain at its height until March IS. The work in the mills until that time will be chiefly confined to the smaller class of goods. The output for the year hat been large and the manufacturers are satisfied ssiththe year's business. Most cities re- qnire that none of the streets shall be torn up between November 16 and March 15, which causes the work of layiog pipe lines to be suspended. The demand tor the smaller sized pipes continues good, as it is principally used for plumbing purposes. The demand lor this is so strong that the manuiacturers cannot fill all their orders. There is a scarcity at present of bar iron in the sires of from to li inches. The demand is far in excess of the supply. The outlook for a good trade in the spring is considered bright. ANOTHER LODGE ORGANIZED. The Finisher Form Another Lodge In This City The New Union a Success Al ready Has a Good Following OfHcera Elected President Carey Talks. Central Lodge No, 2, of the National Union of Iron and Steel "Workers, was orcanired last night in Sailer's Hall by President John D. Carey. Thir is the second lodge in this city of the new Finish ers' Union, composed of seceders from the Amalgamated Association. There has been much discussion as to whether the new order would be a success or after existing independently for a short time, disband and return to its allegiance to the Amalgamated Association. It seems to be growing in favor and strength and prpmises to become a rival to the old association. The members of the new Union will in clude nothing but heaters, rollers, catchers and rouehers in rolling mills. Six lodges have already been organized and the Secre tary is constantly in the fild organizing new ones. Their success has met the ex nectations of the nrirae movers in the cause, and they say they have no intention of letting up on the wotk. President Carey said last night: "We are in this union to stay and it is a go. Our members are being argumented right along and as fast as we could expect In this connection I would like to correct a report circulated some time ago. I never said we -would work with non-union men or non-union material. I did say we intended to make our union so acceptable to the men that there would be no non-union men. Our organization will retain the cardinal principles of the Amalgamated Association, or any good or ganization, for that matter. "We do not in tend to antagonize the Amalgamated, for I have the kindliest feelings toward its offi cers. The lodge at Jones & Laughlins" mills has nearly 100 mpmbers already. The lodge organized to-night is lor finishers in all the mills in and around Pittsburg." The officers elected last evening are: President, Peter Ammon; Vice President, Thomas Giileand; Treasurer, "William F. Frazier; Recording Secretary, Sol E. Jones; . Financial Secretary, James H. Eiiey; In side Guard, Martin Euffn; Guide, William Jones; Trustees, Philip Weaver, Joseph Miller and John Good.

FREUND'S COMMERCIAL FAIiACE. A Special Sale or Indies', Muses' and Chil dren' Cloaks. John J. Freund, proprietor of the "Com mercial Palace," nt tne corner of South Seventeenth and Carson streets, Sonthside, haa -determined. to sacrifice fallarge stoot otjlaciies', misses' and children's cloaks at half price to make room for holiday uoods. The siocfc must go and the wonderful bar gains offered at this spocialsale will doubt less soon dispose of it and that, too, to the advantage ot Mr. Freund's many customers on both sides of the river. The reduction to half the usual price is a genuine one, and is made solely lor the purpose of providing room for new goods and not because of any defect in the garments. The "Commercial Palaoe," onp of the best known and most popular drygoods empor iums in the city, Is a busy place these days, and John J. Freund, the genial proprietor, is one of the busiest merchants In the city. The commodious building Is completely filled with new goods. The clonic depart ment is especially Inviting. The large stock of ladies'- and misses' Jackets, cloaks and wraps has been selected with great care. Fur capes, muffs and all kinds 'of fur trim mings are there, too, in grand variety. Mr. Freund is a tireless -norker, and his knowl edge of business has been acquired through years of experience. Ho appreciates the lact that the public buys wiiero reliable goods are sold at fair prices, and those deal ing with Mr. Fi eund can bear testimony that his margin of profit is extremely low on every article he sells. The business of the "CommeroialPalace" has steadily grown, and to-day it is one of the most substantial mercantile houses in Pennsylvania. CHRISTMAS IS COMING.

Failure to Hold an Election at the Bight Polling Place DEFEATS A SCHOOL DIRECTOR. Arranging for the Annual Bang.net of the Bar Association. HUGE BOSS1 BAIL FIXED AT $10,000 Judge Kennedy yesterday handed down an opinion deciding the contested election of Robert W. Blaze as School Director, in the Twenty-Sixth ward, Pittsburg. Mr. Blaze Ik the present member of the Central Board of Education from the Twenty-sixth ward. Judge Kennedy, hy his decision, throws out the entire rote of one district because the polls were not at the proper place and thereby decides in favor of Fred erick Eglesdorf, the contestant. In his opinion Judge Kennedy states that the complaint in this case substantially is that the election in the first district of the Twenty-sixth ward was held at a different place lrorri that established by law and des ignated therefor in the Mayor's election proclamation. The place fixed by law and designated in the proclamation was "John Hughes' tin shop, Sidney street, near Eighteenth street." The election was actually held at Samuel Hare's plumbing shop, corner of Eighteenth and Sidney, streets, withont authority ,cf law. Claimed the Tote Was Illegal. The vote of the district was 173 for Blaze and 62 for Eglesdorf. Eglesdorf claimed the returns from this district were not legal and shonld not have been counted. Had this district not been counted the vote would have been 512 for Eglesdorf and 439 for Blaze, a majority of 73 for Eglesdorf. The defense claimed that the building known as John Hughes' tin shop had not been used as a tin shop for some years and that John Hughes had been dead for three years. The last two elections had bee'n held at Hare's plumbing shop prior to this one; the registry list was posted there, and it was well known as the polling place; the contestant made no complaint on election day, and no one was debarred from voting by reason of the change. Continuing, the Court stated that there was no testimony to show that the election could not have been held in the building known as Hughes' tin Bhop. Rejected the Whole Tote, It was shown, on the contrary, that no application was made for the use 'ot the building .or effort made to get it. There did not seem to be a sufficient reason given for a failure to comply with the law fixing the place for holding the election. For this reason, it is asserted, the vote of the First district mustNie i ejected. The several acts of Assembly re lating to elections provide methods tor changing polling places which would seem to meet allpossible contingencies, and in view of these provisions it cannot beheld that the places fixed by law are merely directory; they are mandatory and cannot be disregarded "by election officers. In con clusion it was decided that the vote of the district should be rejected and Eglesdorf declared dnly elected. A decree in accordance with the opinion was made declaring Eglesdorf duly elected in February, 1892, as School Director for three years, and cancelling the certificate of election issued to Blaze, and placing the costs on the school district of the Twenty sixth ward. BOBS ADMITTED TO BAIL, The Prosecution Claim He Blew the Whistle and Started the Riot. . , The matter of" admitting Hugh 'Boss to. bail came up in Crimlnal'Qourt yeife'rdajf. -l&ssistant District Attorney Cioehring said there would be no opposition to him being released, and asked that the bail be fixed at $10,000, which'was agreed to, and Boss will be free to-morrow.

DECEMBER 4. SMS OF CHRISTMAS. Pittsburg Now Passing Through a Season of Packages. MA2JY PRETTY THINGS THIS TEAR. Storj Books and Calendars in Most Beauti ful Designs. CBINAWAKE A PROMINENT FEATURE The mysterious package season has, in the courso of ordinary human trials and tribulations, made its appearance. Great bundles jostle each other at every turn in the streets and stores, and there is a general good-natured "pushin an' a-sboviil'," which is always inseparable from the Christmas buying season. There seems to be no lack of money this .year, and cer tainly the Pittsburg merchants have not been remiss in providing ways to spend it The most noticeable feature in Christmas presents is the revival of seventeenth cen tury fashions and old styles generally. It would not seem like Christmas if there were no story books for the little people. All the old fairy tales are to be seen, but are done up in such brilliant dresses that they seem more enchanting than ever. The large number of toy books shown Is evi dence that the childrens' appetite for pretty pictures and stories has not diminished. "Shape books" are something new. They are cut in artistic de signs and show figures of children, dogs, cats, houses, etc., printed in very bright tints. As to thfe calendar, there never was such a variety of it since King Alfred's day. The calendars themselves are of the least importance. All the time and, attention have been given to tho engrav ings, the days of the week being stuck away in one corner. There is the "Beauty Calendar," which gives you a bewitchingly lovely maiden every month in 1893. Some Fairyland Calendars. There is the ".Fairy Calendar," which takes you through fairyland Irotu.beginning to end. The "Columbus Calendars" show that hero in all his struggles and victories. Among the few sensible calendars is one suggesting an easel with clock, memoranda and calendar combined. A beautiful hand painted affair is called the "Perpetual Cal endar" with ribbon drawn through to indi cate the days of the month; the ribbon is stamped with the numbers. Booklets and cards are shown in great va 'riety. "How to Cook. Husbands" is the name of a little book with hand painted covers, the contents being a collection of cooking receipes which are supposed to put the man of the house in good humor. All the classics are brought forth in handsome bindings and illustrated with colored engravings and head and tail pieces. An odd little card in cut art work shows Cupid on a bicycle, which has a cart filled with tiny blossoms. Chain cards are a pretty novelty. Thereareanam ber of cute babies linked together, the whole forming a loyely combination of color. The useful paper weight is shown in metal ornaments, such as dogs, cats", fowls, pigs, rabbits, fozes, etc. They are painted in their natural colors, and are all hard at work in their various lines of mischief or business. ,People who have a mania for beautiful china will be glad to hear that it is vt ry popular as Christmas gifts this year.
