NERAL SEWS OF TI1E LABOR WORLD Cbe river coal operators are thoroughly rred up over the action of the depart nt officials at Washington in permitting ijor Stickney to go ahead ami build the rtoirn dike after his own plans. , fiie Coal Exchange met yesterday in pecial session to consider some course action, for as soon as word had been re vei Saturday that the exchange 1 been slighted, Secretary Til isued immediate calls for a cial meetinjr. The attendance was t very large, bnt the meeting was none less spirited. The report ot ttie com tlee that had waited upon Major Stick rlat night was heard. It was reported it the committee could get no satisfaction bi the Major. He thoroughly explained ; working of his plan, and showed its -y advantages over the old dike, but lea to convince the rivermen that he was lit, as they left him determined to check te his plans, if possible. The commil , alter making its renort, was instructed continue its work of having the ideas of i Exchange enforced. General Casey will corresponded with and in case the swer is not satisfactory- the committee ii immediately go to Washington again d have another conference with the le rtment officials, as the rivermen are de aiined this dike must be built as they .nk best Want to IIav Their Own Way. Major Stickney has promised to quit tear- r the old stonework away from the north d of the old dike preparatory to taking away entirely and putting in his new te until the linal decision ot General ser is rendered. He has already dged avay part of the river 1, and put in a good part of the dike. e -nork is being pushed as rapidly as pos le on the dam that extends directly -ess the stream. The rivermen want ail s torn out and the old dike repaired and fit to a height of eight feet. rhe tarnibers of the Exchange are greatly rcised over w hat they consider as a snub the treatment thev have received at the -ds of the Government officials. They im that should Major Stickney be owed to go ulicad and build the t on his proposed plans navigation .Id be greatly hindered, as the current r!d be so swift and the dam extend so - into the stream that it could not be seen taking a tow down the river. There jld be a constant danger of running into - Tirojectinn and sinking the boats, ptain MclCinlcy, in discussing the dike -icrdav, said: 'There is only one way at it; Major Stickney must be made r the work, already put in, up and build dam the way we want it. Tiiis is one the most important questions brought Before the Exchange Jor a long time and intend to fiht it to the end. It will be outrage to leave tl.is thing go. and it 's: be changed. What we want is the old .e repaired and built two feet higher t. before" The Exchange discussed the miners' ike and heard reports from many of the Tatars who had been up the river and inng the miners to see just what was tag on. It was stated that while some of jaen were returning others were coming after a Jew dajs work, but that most of m were determined as ever. There was rarently no change, but since the rise men were more active, as they now -'ize that the next few days will turn the ike one way or tne other. Hundreds or Empty Iloats. Hundreds of c .al boats are lving at the iles readv for loadinc. These boats le just been recaulked, and should ?v lie unused will soon get of trim, so that the operators -Id be heavy losers. The tenor of the re- -fcs among the operators was that the ke would soon end or river operations did be suspended for the rest of the year, he river will soon be clear of coal and i tow-boating would be stopped, and the .e settle down to a long si;ge. Each ec finds the trade gradually slipping av from the river to the railroads. This - been the result ot the long strike, and ild the strike last much longer the river i will find their trade greatly confined. re is some uneasiness among the river rators on this score, as the struggle be en them has come to be one for the very tenee of the river business. ' Be action of the sand diggers in sending is to clear "the lumps that obstructed vigation, as soon as threatened with pros ition by the Coal Exchange, induced the erators'to not push the cases, at least for present. These sand diggers have been lltv ot the same offense before and were off with a light fine, and are afraid of ng arrested attain. Tne rain of yesterday is expected to bring nvcr up to a coalboat stage by l"ri dav, ea the river will be cleared of all the led coal, though there is some fear that 'e are not enough ton boats to take out eh coal, nearly all having gone down the er last week. The Tin Plate Manufacturers Discuss the Outlook What Will Be Done cxt The Incoming Administration Eagerly De pended on for Some Action. The tin plate manufacturers held a meet ing at tho office of John Jarrett on Fourth avenue yesterday. All the officers were present and there was a good attendance of members. The question of tho tariff was the chief topic of disenssion. Since the Jast election the manufacturers of tin plate have been very uneasy as to the course of the incoming administration on the tariff. The entire afternoon was spent In earnest conference. It is the intention of the manu facturers to 50 ahead in completing their plants and firmly establishing the industry. The McKinley bill was the father of the tin plate mills in the country and its threatened repeal may greatly check the progress Of the tin plate industry. Some of the members last evening expressed themselves as still confident that the conservative element in the party would prevent any consider able change in the present tariff laws. The manufacturers yesterday argued that the industry was firm ly established, though they admitted that there might be a change. No definite line of action was decided upon, as it is too soon yet since the election for the trend of affairs to be known with any certainty, so the afternoon was spent iu generally dis cussing the outlook. The present condition of the market is notvery brisk on account of the usual dull period about this time each year. The margin on these goods is so rmnll that should the slightest change be made it would cause a change all around. D. P. Brown, a Johnstown Flood Sufferer, in Jail for Debt. HIS WORH AT THE STOKE BRIDGE. At This Historic 1'oint Ho rescued Eleren Persons, XEARLT LOSING IIIS LIFE FOR OTHERS MAY CAD8E A 'COKTEST. The Itlvcrmcn Oojcct to the Building of a Bridge at Homestead. The rivermea are not pleased with the prospect of another bridge being built across the Monongabela river at Home stead. The bill introduced by Congrets man John Balzell anthorizing the Union Bridge Company to build such a bridge is causing the ill-feeling, and there is likely to be a decided kick when the question comes up. Tho first objection was made when the bridge was about to be located at Glcnwood. the plea beintr that it was too near the Twenty-eighth street bridge. The location was changed, and now it is claimed it will be too near the Pittsburg, Mc Keesportand Youghioghenyltailroad bridge which crosses the river at the Homestead steel work. The bridge may be built at Braddock, but that would not answer the purpose intended. The Coal Exchange will take a hand, as the shipping interests of the river are involved. A committee from the Exchange will see that its rights are not encroached upon. BELIEF FOB THE F00B. The Building Trades Taking an Active In terest in tho Destitnte at Homestead. The Building Trades Belief Committee is taking an active part in contributing to the destitute at Homestead. A box of clothes was sent yesterday to Mrs. Hugh O'Don nell for free distribution among the needy. The Builders' Trades Committee has raised a good deal of money for this cause. The box sent yesterday was contributed by Mrs. Gusky aud contained 309 worth ot' cloth ing. The Equitable Social will givo a benefit ball at St George's Hall on Penn avenue December 28. Federation Officer to K-tlre. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi neers will probably be affiliated with the American Federation of Labor during the present convention at Philadelphia. Should this occur it is reported Vice President P. J. McGuire, and secretary of the Brother hood ot Carpenters, will be replaced as an official of the Federation by some member of the Brotherhood of Engineers. D. F. Brown, a man who saved eleven lives during the Johnstown flood, is in jail. He must stay there for three months as he was yesterday found guilty of false pre tense. Brown has seen more in the 25 years of his life than most men at that age. He was born in Johnstown and with the ex ception of a short time has spent all of hi! life in that city. Nearly all his friends were swept away with the breaking of the Sonth Fork dam. He happened to be on one of the hills 'when the water came and was one of the few men who were able to witness that awful sight and live. His old father and mother were swept away to gether with many other relatives. The only one of his kin left him was a brother. Brown stood on the end of the historic stone bridge, where the force of the water as it was!.wirlcd about washed away a great part of the bank. He saved 11 lives at that point and nearly loot his own. While reaching out to pull a woman off a piece of wreckage the ground gave awav beneath his feet, but he reached a sale place, rescuing the woman and raving himself. Johnstown after the flood was to Brown a forlorn place. He tried to stav there, but the town held so many sad recollections for him that he drifted out into the woild. From then on he has wandered about. Sev eral months ago he came to Pitts burg. In a short time he found work in a grocery store out Butler street. Butter and eggs soon grew distasteful, and, as he had doue a score of times since 18S9, he threw up the job. He did a number of things after that, but finallv work worried him. He took up his lodging at a hotel at New Grant and Liberty street He lived there until he owed the house S89, and the proprietor grew uneasy. Browu was asked to pay up. He said he was expecting some monev in a few davs and would pay. The allotted time passed by and Brown did not settle. He was then arrested, and yester day the Court sentenced him three months to jail. Brown is a handsome fellow and well educated. He feels very keenly the trouble he has gotten into. When the Johnstown flood is mentioned to him it is hard work for him to control his emotion. FIGUBING ON CLASSIFICATION. Oilier Brothers Branching Ont New Castle, Dec. 13.

Before Commissioner Beale on the tax cases yesterday the appeal ot J. B. Farmer, on Boquet street, was considered. His property contains a half acre in one piece and three lots in another. He objected solely to the classification. The three lots he desired assessed the same as neighboring property, as rural and not built np. The property ot E. M. Ferguson on Morewood and Fifth avenues was taken up on the question of classification. There are 2 acres and 21 perches on Morewood avenue, assessed at $20,000 an acre as rural The Fifth avenue property fronts 500 feet by 187. It was assessed at abont 200 a foot It nas claimed & sale of adjoining property was made at 5140 a foot Assessor Larkin said he had been sick for three weeks during the time the assessors were at work on some of the Fifth avenue property, and he could not watch their work and there might be some discrepancies. He was asked if he was not responsible anyway, and he re plied that he was not obliged fo be. Mr. Carnahan here interposed an objec tion, and the questions relative to the classi fication were again taken up, but the case was not finished. A PRETTY WOMAN'S FEAT. She Escapes From a Union Station Window While Hundreds Watch ner Thomas Donaghy Chase After His Runaway Wife lie Wants ner Arrested. At 6 o'clock last evening when hundreds of passengers were flocking along the plat form at Union station to outgoing and, from incoming trains, they were surprised to see a stylishly dressed and pretty young woman climb out of a window from the lsdies' apart ment in the station. She had a satchel which she first dropped to the platform and then, gathering her skirts about her shapely fizure, drew herself np on the high window sill. It required some time for her to arrange her drapery, but finally she com pleted it and then poising on one hand she vaulted to the platform as daintily as the most accomplished danseuse. Blushintr deenlv over her unavoidable display of lingerie" she stooped and seizing her little grip darted through he curious crowd which had stopped to witness her performance. Half an hour later as Station Officer George Bert was passing through the sta tion he was accosted by a tall, pale-faced young man who requested his assistance. "My wife lias run awav from me and taken my money!" he exclaimed, ''and I want you to arrest her! She went in there," he continued pointing to the ladies' apart ment, "I have been watching and she hasn't got an ay." After getting a description of the woman the officer started to find her. She was not in the reception room, hut several ladies had seen her going into one of the side apartments and believed she was still there. The officer went to the apartment indi cated. It was empty, but the window was open. When the deserted husband was in formed of the fact he nearly fainted. Officer Bert advised him to notify the po lice, which he did, and the officers" arc now looking for her. It was stated that the young man was Thomas Donaghy, an employe of the rail road who lives at SValls station. He told the officers that he had been married for three years, his. wife being a Southside girl whose parents lived on Tncnty-seventi: street Her parents were opposed to the railroader and had twice prevailed on her to leave him, but recently he had persuaded her to come back to him. Since the recon ciliation they have been boarding at Walls and he had expended his means to keep her stylishly attired. Last week when he drew his month's pay he gave it to her to settle their bills. Yesterday afternoon a bill was presented to him for which he had given his money to pay a month ago. He quit work and weut home to see her about it, but she had dressed up in her white felt hat and her nobby brown dress trimmed with gold braid, and taking all her valuables with her, had disappeared. He followed her to this city, but she escaped him. Where she has gone he is anxious to know, lor be intends to have her arrested. A young pa'titer named McNeill, an acquaint ance of the family, is also said to be missing. INDED HIS OWN L1FZ. Pole, Joseph Botkovich, a Melancholy bhootx Himself In the Head.

Hazletox, Dec 13. It was learned this morning that Mrs. Hugo, who kidnaped little Sadie Pettit, abandoned in this city the carriage in which she rode away from the Pettit residence, and then secluded her self. All efforts to learn the name of the driver or owner of the team have been futile. It is said Mrs. Hugo left here this moraine: on an early train, taking with her the child. Detectives have been working on the case since yesterday. The kidnaper is well known about Sandy Bun, and tilis fact adds to the mystery. Oi'e theory is that Mrs. Hugo saw the child at one time and became strongly attached to it Her love affected her so that she decided to get possession of the little girl. They Allege That the Profits of the Dresden Pottery Are Absorbed in Salaries. East Liverpool, Dec. 13. (Special,' In Common Pleas Court at New Lisbon a decision has just been rendered affecting stockholders of the Dresden Pottery, of this city. The co-operative company operating the Dresden was organized a little more than ten years ago, with a limitation of ten years, as is alleged. It has been so success ful that the value of the stock has increased more than 400 per cent. Hugh McNichol was made President at the organization of the company, and has held the office ever since. Twelve of the minor stockholders had applied for a receiver, contending that J there never had been an accounting ot tho status of the concern, and when they de manded it some months since they were in formed by McNichol that there never had been any'limitation of the partnership at the expiration of which an accounting could be called for. The small fry insisted that the original records would show the contrary, and when the records were produced, with uo such clause in them, it was alleged that they had been tampered with in the interest of the President and the clique of partner' con trolled by him, among whom the immense profits ot the concern has been swallowed up, as the plaintiffs allege, in princely official salaries voted themselves by the McNichol clique. Claims aggregating $50, 000 are involved. The Court refused the application for a receiver, and the plaintiffs witl Immediately apreal the case to the Su preme Court. OPEN NIGHTS. OPEN NIGHTS.
