jiet for a short period trill restore his
trni. The preacher was taken from the
lonoopahela House yesterday afternoon,
he manner of his removal was a hnge joke
r l..m. He went so peacefully that the
Uei.Jar.ts who expected trouble and were
adh frightened were almost paralyzed be
anie he was so easy.
Thursday evening Mr. Covert registered
is name and that of ins wife and child at
i- Mononsahela House, and was given
ailors A and B on the third floor. Frank

i . a prominent member of the Solon or
ei, spent the night with f im. They were

ptctful distance. During the mornin Mr.

A Little Afraid or the I'atlent.
When the hosDital people arrived thev
a aimed with a stretcher and a straight
het. The hotel porters and some of the
11 boys were called on to assist. A long
arley ensued outside of the room, and
erbody was afraid to go in. In the

as greatly amused and broke out into
artr laugh. "Well, Kjt," he said, "I

HUSBAND AND HORSES

Title to Both Has Her Husband Ar
rested for Cruelty Xo Frcfit rrom Six
of Her Hoarders.
Mrs. Hugh A. Miller had her husband
arrestedfvesterday for beating her. The
charge was made before Alderman Gripp.
Mrs. Miller alleges that her husband at
tacked heron December 7, 8 and 9. She
was so badly used up that she was unable
to write her name to the information. She
has for some time past been keeping a
boarding house at 5820 Perm avenue.
Mrs. Miller, in making her complaint,
said: "I have property in McKeesport and
receive an income from rentals. "With this
I bought five horses several years ago,
which brought us in a small return by niv
husband doing hauling. All went well
until last spring when he began to mal
treat me frightfully. He finally took the
horses leaving me without any money, and
took up his home on the hill. It was then
I started my boarding house. Shortly
afterwards he sold the horses, stating they
were his. I consulted a lawyer and he
made him return them to me. He finally
turned up at the house one day with the
five horses and five men he had working for
him. He told me he and the men had come
to take board with me so as to help-me along.
Since that time he has not paid me a cent
for his men or himself. He paid the rent one
time, saying that would do for some ol the
board money he owed me. He has been using
my hordes, making a good deal ot money
out of them, using my stable, my house,
my provisions for board for his men and
himself, and all this while he has been
abusing me. He owes tue about 5150 lor
board now. "He locks up my horses in the
stable and charges me 25 cents a day for
milk from my own cow.
"My husband acts most unseemly while
at the table. He throws hot cakes
on the floor, ties napkins around
the dog's neck, and upsets things.
Even the chickens come in for their share, a
great man v going around with broken legs
as the result of his cruelty. I was learful
that he would pile up bills against me, so I
put this advertisement in The Dispatch:
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCEEN TAKE
KOT1CE that I am owner oi five horses

own separate rjropeity, and that I will not
be resuons.ble for anj- debts whatsoever

MKS. MAIiY MILLEE.
Four Italians formerly employed by
Miller entered suits agains't him yesterday
before Alderman Gripp for wages due,
averaging 1C days apiece. Miller gave bail
for a hearing.
WANTS AXTOTHES TEACHES.
The Xormal Class Is Too Zaise for Miss
Ralston to Manage.
The High School Committee of the Cen
tral Board of Education held its regular
meeting last night The report ot the
principal of the High School for the month
of November showed an enrollment of 937
pupils and an average attendauce of 900.
Miss Ralston, Principal of the Normal
School, reported that the number of pupils
in the Normal graduating class '76, is so
great that with the present force and ar
raugements it is not possible to do justice
to tbem. She requested that thevdivide
the recitation room in two by a partition
and grant a substitute teacher for the
balance of the school year at the salary of a
preceptress, 5800. The committee recqm
mended that the Board adopt Miss Bal
ston's suggestion.
CHRISTIAN EKD2AV0B UNION.
Enthusiastic Meeting in the Shady Avenue
Baptist Church.
The quarterly meeting of the Allegheny
County Christian Endeavor Union was held
last evening in the Shady Avenue Baptist
Church. The loom was crowded and the
meeting a great success. An address of
welcome was made by Dr. Stanton, the
pastor of the church, and the inaugural ad
dress by the new President of the nnion,
Fred CTUrittain, was full of good points
and well recelveiL After some further ad
dresses and discussion the meeting wound
up in a pleasant social.

A-CONGRESS OF LABOR
Delegates Leaving for the Convention
of the Federation.
WILL TALE AB00T HOMESTEAD.
A Euildins Trade to Pei Selected for the
Tattleground of
THE COMING EIGHT-HODR STBDGGLE
The twelfth annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor, to be held
in Common Council chamber at Philadel
phia next Honday, is exciting much com
ment in locallabor circles. The local trades
unions are hustling so as to give the dele
gates from all parts of the country a warm
welcome. It is expected there will be 100
or more in attendance. These willirepresent
more than 750,000 laborers in all branches of
industry in every part of the United States.
It is not intended that there will be special
demonstration, though there will likely be
a banquet at the close of the convention.
The entire week will be taken up with the
deliberations, as some questions of vital im
portance to the labor world will receive a
thorough discussion.
The stirring events of the past few
months, in which organized labor has
played so important a part, have caused a
general wakening up of all unions in
every industry, so that more than usual
interest is attached to the coming
convention of the Federation of Labor.
Tuesday Will Be Homestead Day.
Tuesday has been designated as "Home
stead Day" by President Gompers and the
events that led to that great strugcle and
the manv causes introduced to bring about
the final result will receive special at
tention. The last dav will be devoted to
the usual "secret session" when no one but
delegates will be admitted.
The questions likely tobe brought up for
special consideration will be the eight
hour law, restriction of immigration, the
sweating system, compulsory or voluntary
arbitration, State legislation to govern
labor interests, anti-Pinkertonitm and
child labor. The foremost leaders in the
labor ranks are expected to be in attendance.
Among these are ex-President "Weihe,
of the Amalcatrated Association; John
McBride, of Columbui, O., of the Miners'
Progressive National Union; President W.
B. Prescott, of the International Typo
graphical Union; General Secretary John
B. Lennon, of the Custom Tailors; Thomas
Morgauof Chicago, of the Machinists' Na
tional Union; Joseph Barondess, of New
York, ot the Cloakmakers; Martin Fox, of
Cincinnati, of the Iron Molders; First Vice
President P. J. McGuire, of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of
America; Josiah B. Dyer, of Concord, N.
H., Secretary of the Granite Cutters, and
many others whare high in the ranks of
organized labor.
Outlining the Convention's Work.
Ex-President Weihe, of the Amalgamated
Association, will leave for Philadelphia to
morrow to be present at the opening of the
convention. Vice President W. A. Carney
leaves to-day, as he is a member of the
Executive Committee, which meets on Sun
day to outline the policy of the convention.
It 'is in the power of this committee to make
recommendations on the most important
questions and designate upon what partic
ular trade the efforts of the Federation will
he centered to win some point demanded by
the men. It is thought the eight-hour law
will receive more than usual attention at
this convention, and that there will be an
effort all along the line to have the eight
hour rule becomegeneral during the coming
year.
The building trades are principally con
cerned in this movement, and as they are
nearly all affiliated with the American Fed
eration of Labor, it devolves upon this
body to take the lead on this question.
As it has been the custom adopted here
tofore by the Federation to select -some par
ticular branch of labor for its battleground,
it is thought the building trades will receive
attention this year and the battle be made
on the eight-hour law. The builders and
contractors all over the country are taking
a deep interest in the present convention,
as what is done uill likely have an import
ant bearing on the coming year's work.
Contractors Watching Its Action.
One contractor said to a DISPATCH re
porter: "Wait until after next week, when
the Federation convention at Philadelphia
has adjourned, and I can talk more intelli
gently to you on the subject of eight hours
for a day's work." This sentiment was
echoed by a number ot others in the same
industry and indicates the deep interest
being taken in this subject.
Ex-President Weihe, when asked as to
what would probably be done on this ques
tion next wek, did not care to say much
about it. He said it would receive much
attention, as it bad been earnestly consid
ered by the Federation heretofore, and has
reached a point n hero some more aggres
sive motes will likely be taken. What
action would be taken he was not in posi
tion to say.
"Will the Amalgamated Association
have any particular recommendation to
make?" was asked.
"The delegates were instructed at the
convention in June, and all that was neces
sary was made public at that time."
"How will Homestead likely be
treated?"
"I can't say, but it will come in for its
share of discussion, as tffere is so much
connected with it that it cannot be passed
by at this time."
Mr. Weihe did not care to commit him
self on the questions booked for the con
vention, preferring to leave them to be de
cided in the convention ball.
THE BIVEBMEH HAPPY.
The Harbor Will Be Practically Cleared of
Coal by the Present Rise.
The rivermen spent an anxious day yes
terday. The marks' at 'Davis dam showed 7
feet 5 inches and rising; Boats had been
prepared on the evening before, and every
thing was in readiness to move. There was
enough water for barges, and many light
tows were about to start out yester
day as scheduled, but the reports
from the headwaters of the Allegheny
river were so encouraging that more water
was expected, so the departure of
the boats was delayed. The rise at Oil
City was 2 feet, and between 9 o'clock in
the forenoon and 2:30 o'clock in the after
noon the gauge showed a rise of 5 inches.
During yesterday afternoon aud evening
mauyf the boats left the wharf aud were
ready to leave for the lower markets. The
river presented an active appearance as the
boats scurried to diflerent points to get
ready for leaving. The coal expected to be
sent out this morning will clean the harbor
with the exception ot some coalboats, as the
water will not likely be high enough to take
out anything but barges. Everything pos
sible will be taken down the river, as the first
coal of the season always nets the biggest
profits to the operators.
All the coal firms have a good supply on
hand, but after this rise the harbor will be
firactically free of coal, so that prices will
ikely be affected so much as to force a re
sumption of work in the river mines, which
means an end to the miners' strike.
M0LDEES OK A BIELKE.
Part of the Iron City Foundry Idle Because
of Disaffection Among the Men.
The molders of the Iron City Foundry of
L. M. Morris, at Penn avenue and Twenty
third street, are out on a strike. The
trouble is over the employment of men.
The molders are all unionists, and when
non-union laborers were kept at work they
objected and quit The green sand depart
ment of the foundry is idle, but the rest of
the mill is working. About 60 men are
out and there is little disposition on their
part to return to work. It is stated that
there has been considerable uneasiness
among these men for some time ana a num
ber of small strikes have been declared,
bat none of them ever amounted to much.
Mr. Morris was seen last evening, but re
fused'to talk.
DEPUTY SHERIFFS SWORN IN.
The Operators to Protect Imported Miners
The Old Men Aro Becoming Uneasy
at tho Largo Number of Imported
Strike Breakers No Meetings Held.
The sending out of coal on the present
rise to the Southern markets has excited
unusual activity in the Monongahela Valley
coal district. The striking miners have
been very quiet and have offered little re
sistance to the new men heretofore im
ported into the distriot to take tho places
of the old men, bnt with the greater de
mand and necessity for more coal to be
mined it is evident a change will
come. The operators have avowed their
disinclination to go to the expense and
trouble of employing an extia police force,
and so have been introducing the new men
into the various mines very quietly.
Within the past week, however, through
liberal advertising intthe papers throughout
the Connellsville'coke region, a large num
ber of men have reported for work, and re
ports say the miners are becoming uneasy.
To prevent anv trouble, some of tho oper
ators have asked for deputy sheriffs to
guard the new men, so that yester
day A. G Wolf, E. L, Thompson, Mar
shall Cox and Joseph Swibart were
sworn in at Monongahela City as deputy
sheriff to be sent to the Cincinnati mines
near Courtney to protect the mines in the
neighborhood. This move has been con
templated lor some lime, but as the miners
had been very quiet, there was ap
parently no necessity for such a move.
A special from Coal Center last evening,
which is in the heart of the district, states
the miners are as firm as ever, and show no
disposition to return to work. They have
held no meetings for a long time, as they
feel sure of their position and see no neces
sity for further discussion of the questions
now in dispute. A few men have
returned, but many of these, after work
ing a few days, have come out again,
onlv to be more determined than ever. The
striking miners are trying to persuade the
new men to leave the region, andsome,after
arriving and finding a strike on hand, have
relused to worK and return whence they
came. The strikers are greatlv encouraged
with the outlook and think they will win in
the present fight.
THE PAINTERS MEET.
The Protective Association Discusses Ques
tions Connected With Its Work.
The Journeymen Painters' Protective
Association of Allegheny County held a
well-attended meeting in "their hall at 68
Ohio street, Allegheny, last night. The
first part of the evening was devoted to an
open discussion of topics of interest to
the members and for the upbuilding of the
order. On account of the invitation issued
by President Baker, a large .number of
members who had lost standing were present,
and every inducement was held ont to
have them reinstated. About 20 of
these again announced their allegiance
to the union. Several new names were en
rolled. With these, there are now 290
members and the financial standing of the
local, which is affi"ated with Assembly No.
1397, Knights of Labor, is reported good.
The eight-hour law was taken up and dis
cussed at some length, bnt no definite step
was taken. The action of the Builders'
Exchange at its last meeting was discussed,
but the question will be left until after
Januarv 1, when some move will be made
that will bring the matter more prominently
before the men, as they all expressed them
selves in favor of the new law. After the
open meeting the painters went into a
secret session, which did not adjourn until
after midnight.
THE C0EE CAB FAMINE ENDED.
Great Things in Store for the Business In the
Connellsville Beglon.
The recent boom in the prospective de
velopment of new territory in the Connells
ville coke region promises great things for
the future of the coal and coking business.
The coke trade is better than it has been for
a long time, and this week has been an ex
ceptionally brisk one. The shipments will
reach probably 7,000 cars all the coke
there was to be moved, by the way, as the
car service is now generally equal to the
demand.
The fact that the car famine is
broken is due, in part, to the increased
equipment to meet the demand, especially
by the Baltimore and Ohio, and, in part, to
the closing of lace navigation and tho
cessation of the coal, ore and grain busi
ness in that direction.
B. & O. Freight Men Meet.
The annual meeting of the Baltimore and
Ohio division freight agents was held at
Mr. Wright's office yesterday. Those pres
ent were E. T. Affleck, Columbus; E. M.
Davis, A. P. Bigelow, Chicago, and Mr.
Galleher, the local agent. Mr. Galleher
said they discussed the past and the future
ot the business. Only tariff matters were
considered.

QUAY DIDN'T SHOWTJP.
He Breaks an Engagement With
Western University Students
TO TALK ON PRACTICAL POLITICS.
Professor Eohrbacuer Discusses the Penn
sylvania Batch.
WILLIAM JPESKM GKEMAN DESCENT
The chapel of the Western University
was filled yesterday afternoon with students
and others, not a few ladies being among
them, who expeeted to hear Senator M. S.
Quay lecture upon practical politics. They
had a mighty pleasant time with Prof.
Bohrbachrr and the Pennsylvania Dutch,
bnt they didn't hear Mr. Quay unbosom
himself for the simple reason that the junior
Senator of the State did not turn up. This
was in accordance with Congressman Dal
zell's prophetic remark to President Hol
land of the University some time since to
the effect that the only chance tho Univer
sity students would have of hearing Mr.
Quay on this pregnant topic would occur in
heaven.
Dr. Holland at 3 p. sr., when neither let
ter nor telegram had arrived to explain the
Senator's absence, said to the audience gath
ered in the chapel: "Senator Quay, as I
said this morning, is either engaged by his
business in Congress or in catching tarpon,
so that we must fall back upon our own re
sources, which are, I am happy to say,
great Prof. Kohrbacher will discourse to
you upon the Pennsvlvania Dutch, who. on
this occasion, may be said to have taken
Holland.
The German Element in Pennsylvania.
Prof. Kohrbacher, of the University fac
ulty, accordingly spoke In an informal way
upon the important part the Dutch or Ger
man element in Pennsylvania had played in
the history' ot this Commonwealth and of
the nation. He prefaced his remarks with
the statement that he was proud tti act as a
substitute for Senator Quay, whom he knew
to be a good man and a soldier who had,
when compelled to resign his command by
ill-health, volunteered as an aide in order
to fight at Fredericksburg, saying that he
would rather be considered foolish than a
coward.
Captain Kohrbacher expressed his Belief
that he had been asked to speak upon the
same principle that an old hen was given
50 eggs to set on, in order to give "the
darred old thing a chance to spread her
self." Then he launched into a description
of the origin and wide-spreading influence
of the German nationality, before William
Penn, whose mother was a Dutch woman,
came to this country and laid stress upon
the little known fact that Penn thrice
visited Germany after he had received the
grant of Pennsylvania.
The First Gorman Settlement.
The settlement of 33 Germans at German
town was the first permanent lodgment of
their race on this soil. In spite of the dis
like and jealousy of other colonists the Ger
mans prospered'and multiplied. Attempts
were ma'de to suppress them, to curtail their
political rights, but they resisted manfully,
and the day came when they could win
everything in sight at the polls, Few Ger
mans, Prof. Kohrbacher asserted, knew
what a large share their race had in the
glory of founding this nation, and more
especially this Commonwealth. It was
Peunsvlvania that led the procession in the
War "of the Kevolution, and of her citi
zens seven-tenths were of German blood.
He mentioned such heroes of those times
as DeKalber, Herkimer and Mullcnberg,
the first speaker of Congress who came
down from the puljlit and doffed his cassock
to don the uniform of a soldier. The Ger
man women were as good as their husbands,
fathers and brothers, even if they could
not play the piano and sing "What is Home
Without a Mother." Prof. Kohrbacher
claimed that since Pennsylvania had first
elected a Governor of Germon descent in
1808 she had kept on electing rulers of
German extraction.
Great Americans With German Blood.
Other notable Americans mentioned by
the speaker as possessing German blood in
their veins were General Custer. Vice Presi
dent Hendricks, 'Allen G. Thurman, Dr.
Pepper, of Philadelphia University, and
Dr. Holland himself; Prof. Kohrbacher
went lurther and declared that all over this
State Germans or their descendants were in
the majority. He claimed for them indus
try and respect for the law as cardinal traits,
and wound up with the declaration that we
might study with good results the history,
the habits, the works and the ways of Penn
sylvania Germans.
Dr. Holland indorsed the lecturer's con
cluding words heartily, and announced that
Dr. Moffatt, ot Washington and Jefferson
College, would deliver the next lecture,
the subject to be "Memory." Prof. Kohr
bacher, who is very popular with the
Western University students, was ap
plauded vigorously and given three cheers
when the meeting wound' up.

WANTED FOR MURDER.
An Italian Arrested Here Who Is Charged
With Killing a Fellow Countryman in
Chicago The Suspect Denies Ho Is tho
Man. '
Tho Chicago Central station detectives
think that Antonio Messina, an Italian now
under arrest here, is the man wanted there
for the mnrder of Cologero Deraartino, at
T6 Tilden avenue. The latter kept a saloon
which was largely patronized by
people of his own nationality. Brawls
often occurred in his place, and knives and
pistols were frequently seen. The night of
October 2 saw the usual gathering
and a ror happened. The squabble turned
into a desperate fight, and in the midst of
it a shot was fired. Demartino was killed.
No one knew wJk killed him, and for a
time the affair wasiost sight of.
Detective Hartford was put on the case,
and as a result Antonio Messina was ar
retted in Pittsburg vesterday. If Hartford
feels satisfied that he is the man the Italian
will be taken back to Chicago and held for
the murder. John Chichiaro was severely
wounded in the same fracas.
The arrest was made by Detectives Shore
and Coulson at 52 Diamond street. The man
answers the description furnished by the
Chicago police, but he claims his name is
Lazoula, and a mistake has been made.
