.GOMPERS MAY GET INTO IT.
The Homestead Men Deny That TheyAre Now on a Strike.
MASS MEETING
Glassblowers' Delegates Instructed on theCampbell Hatter.
lESTEEDAI'S GRIND OF TEE LABOEMILL
There is trouble in the Trades Councilover a matter which President Gompers, ofthe Federation of Labor, may have to takehold of before he leaves the city. TheKnights of Labor have been charged withorganizing men who the Federation menstruck against, and there is a war brewingbetween the officers of the two labor organ-
izations. A meeting of the Trades BuildingLeague was held last night, when the mat--
ter was discussed. The subject also causedheated remarks in the Trades Council meet-
ing Saturday evening, and may lead to thewithdrawal of some of the delegates.
About two months ago the walking dele-
gate of that part of the building trades,Mr. J. C. Beck, ordered a strike among thetile cutters and slate roofers employed byW. H. Aiken and Scott White, of thiscity.
HOW IT CAME ABOUT.
The Marble, Slate and Tile "Workers'TJnion and the Slate Hoofers' Union or-
dered the strike on account of some ofthe men in both establishments refusing to gointo the unions which are attached to theFederation of Labor. ,
About a week ago, it is claimed by some ofthe strikers, President Joseph L. Evans,of the Trades Council, organized the men thenat work in the two shops, and against whomthe federation men struck. The men formeda local assembly, and a charter was applied forthrough. District Assembly No. 3, of this city.The new local was asked to send delegates tothe Trades Council, which they did, and themen appeared at the meeting Saturday night.
When they presented their credentials otherrepresentatives at the meeting protestedagainst the men being admitted, claiming thattbey had refused to join their respective tradesunions. The newly-organiz- men stated thattheir reason for not joining was that the Fed-eration men were "floaters" and not residentsof the city. Tbey came here when they couldmake mure money in this city than they couldanywhere else and were a detriment to thetrade. The Federation men denied that thiswas the case. They stated that nearly all ofthem were permanent residents of this city,and were as good union men as could be foilndanywhere in the country.
MB. ROSS BEFCSES TO INTERFERE.Walking Delegate Beck went to Master
Workman Boss, of the district, and asked thelatter to protest against the charter beingissued. Mr. Boss stated that be bad nothingto do with the matter, although be is at thehead of the Knights in this city. The delegatethen went to President Evans, of the TradeCouncil, but got no satisfaction there either.
A conference between the council of theBuilding Trades' League, Walking DelegateBeck and President Evans, of the Trades'Conncil, will be held evening to set-tle the difficulty. Besolutions have been putin shape for presentation at tbe meeting toprotest agaiu.t the charter being issued to the.SBjooal Assembly. It is suted that the firmsby whom the men were employed were in-strumental in having them organized. Whenthe strike was ordered the union contractorsof the city withdrew their patronage from thefirms and tbe latter lost considerable money.It is stated that thev wanted all their men tobe organized, and by getting them into theKnights of Labor hoped that they would getback tbe trade they had lost. Tbe matter hasbeen brought to the attention of PresidentGompers, who will be asked to give an opinionon the complicated question.
A STRIKE MAY COME.
Bnt There U Now Ko Excitement or Any- -'thing Final at Homestead One Man WboThinks Thpre Won't be Trouble.
The members of tbe Amalgamated Associa-tion at Homestead are still solidly opposed totbe sliding scale which the Carncgics propose tohave to go into effect on June 15. A prominentmember of the Amalgamated Association saidto a reporter: "We'are all still firm in our de-
termination not to sign the scale. In fact, tEotime for signing is now past, and it has not beensigned."
When asked what would be the result if themanufacturers should be just as determinedthat it should be signed, be said:
"We cannot tell until the repairs have beenmade and tbe works put in operation. It will beat least three weeks yet before the mill will bestarted."
"Do you think a strike would be the result ifthe manufacturers, insist upon the signing ofthe new scale!" the reporter asked.
"I cannot answer that question, as I cannotspeak for the whole organization; but this I cansay. the sliding scale is not satisfactory to oneperson to my knowledge. On the other hand.every person is perfectly satisfied with the oldminimum scale. Should the sliding scale gointo effect it would reduce the wages of theworkmen fully 85 per cent."
Another workman spoken to by the reporter,Baid: "When the works are started, aboutthree weeks hence, that act will decide thequestion whether the scale will be adopted.At present there is not one member of the as-sociation who wilf sitn, and tberefpre the com-mittees appointed by the members will not,even were tbey so inclined. The old scale isgood enough for us. It i my opinion that astrike will take place before tbe scale isadopted. Tbe Amalgamated Association isimwerlul, and for that reason I think there issot much chance of a strike. There is ho jus-tice in tbe new scale. There might be if steelblooms remained at a uniform price, of say $25.and If they should go up to 827 or $28 we wouldbe the winners. But should tbe price fall to$23 or $23 SO we lose, and there is more chanceof the price falling than rising."
Several others spoken to said that It wastbelr opinion the new scale would Dever besigned by tbe Homestead steel workers. All,
--with one exception, gave it as their opinionthat a strike would be the immediate resultafter the starting ol the works if the proprie-tors should try to force the adoption of theeliding scale. The matter is talked of veryquietly by tbe employes. It is causing no ex-citement whatever, even if the time lor put-ting the works in operation is drawing near.The only excitement on tbe streets of tbetown yesterday was occasioned by the streetparade of the converters of No. 2 mill, whowere going to a picnic, and a drum corps ofboys and the singing of the Salvation Armywho paraded the street in the evening.
TO ARRANGE THE LISTS.
Prescription Bottle Blowers to Meet tbeJllnnnfactnrers.

EXCEPTIONS ARE FILED.
Tbe Bruce Bros.' Boycsttera Ask That theWnster's Ballnc bo Set Aside.
The defendants in the Brace Bros.' boycottease have filed an exception to the ruling of W.A. Woodward, the master in tbe bearing.Tbey claim that the amount of damages thathave been placed for the plaintiffs are entirelytoo high, and that tbey have not been guiltyof any violation of the law. The defendantsclaim that the mere asking of a person to wlth-- .draw bis patronage from tbe boycotted firmdid not constitute a breach of a law.
An Elclu-Ho- nr Demonstration.It has been decided to turn meet--
Tbe Amalgamated Men Wrangling WithJones fc Lnoghllni' nnd Oliver's.
At the headquarters of the AmalgamatedAssociation of Iron and Steel Workers yester-day a number of new scales for the ensuingyear were receded signed by different manu-facturers. Secretary Martin officially an-
nounced the following: Keystone Boiling MillCompany, of Pittsburg. Their works are onSecond avenue, beyond Soho; P. L. Klmberly& Co., of Sharon; Arethusa Iron Works, ofNew Castle; Tudor Iron Works; of East St.Louis; New Albany Forge and Boiling MillCompany, and Andrews Bros. & Co., ofHaselton, O.
In the afternoon Jones & Laughlins sent forthe mill committee, and were in consultationwith them all afternoon. The various commit,tees employed in Oliver Bros. & Phillips' millswero also holding a conference with the firm.President eihe was at the meeting in Jonesfc lAughllns' office, but until 6 o'clock hadnot received the firm's signature to a scale.
The conference at Olivers' was very animated,and the meeting was the second one the com-mittee has already held with the members ofthe firm. The first was held Saturday, and tbeconcessions asked then were again requestedyesterday. The men were asked to accept a re-
duction of SO cents per ton on billets, but theywouldn't listen to the proposition. Atthe conven-tion the price for rolling ten-inc- h plates was re-duced from SO to 72 cents. The firm wanted a
till fnrther reduction, and also wanted to re-duce the price of making small angle. Tbemen would concede nothing, and tho firm willprobably sign tbe scale by the last of the week.In that event thev will start their immenseplants on Monday next. In the Tenth streetpuddle mill some repairs are needed on the en-gine, and it will "require three days' time tomake them.
SOME POLITICAL GOSSIP.
A Democratic Nominee Agnlnst Judge Co-llier on a Full Ticket.
"Will we Democrats put up . a candidateagainst Judge CollierT"
"We will.""Why?" asked The Dispatch querist."For this reason: Suppose on the day after
the next November election we get up In themorning and have found that we have beatenArch Bowand for District Attorney and HeberMcDowell for Coroner, and yet that Collierhad a walk-ove- r, because of our delinquency infailing to nominate. Do you think for a mo-ment that we would not club ourselves! Wefeel it hot in our bones that we are going towin this time."
"Who are you going to pit against JudgeCollierr"
"Let that go until the time comes. I thinkwe can find a candidate who can secure thefull vote of the Democratic party and the dis-satisfied vote of the Prohibitionists, and alsothose who, formerly Republicans, and wbo de-sire to benefit their cause, wish to effectuatetbe defeat of those who, while pretending to beBenublican Prohibitionists, voted against the
r prohibition amendment. You can safely believe that the Democrats will fill their ticket.The County Democracy will settle that matteron tbe day after the Fourth."
"Who will the nominee be?""It may be Bailey, Watson, or anyone of a
score of others, but we shall, you can dependupon the matter, go into the convention withan entire ticket ol candidates."
A PICNIC. i
County Democracy Outine. Where Celebri-ties Will Disport Thcniaelrei).
Tbe postponed picnic of tbe County Democ-racy, to be held at Boss' Grove on tbe day afterthe Fourth, should be memorable because themembers of tbe organization do not desire tomake the celebration a partisan affair. On theoccasion, as a matter of course, there will bedancing and promenade music! One of the in-teresting features will be tbe sack race betweenCouncilman P. M. Carr, J. J. Fox, Matt
'Squire Herman Hendel and FrankLittle.
'Squire Boyle, the President of the organiza-tion, will bo the starter, and Thomas Mullentbe referee.
Then there will be a d foot race be-tween David Bichards, John Tohin, GeorgeSmith and David Shield.
The mule race will witness Ed Kennedy,Patrick Foley-- ' and 'Squire Boyle taking part.Two picked nines will play .baseball. TheCounty Democracy do not expect that othersthan their friends will be present.

FOETY-THEE- E WARRANTS FORHER
James, the Lawyer, Asserts There Are No
Grounds for Charges.
VIT MAI END IN A QUIET COMPROMISE
When 'Squire Hartman was called uponat his office last night and asked for furtherinformation in regard to the Steplin abduc-tion case, the Alderman was very indig-
nant."Somebody is trying to spoil this case,"
he said, "and I am not going to say anymore about the whole thing, except this. Ihave issued 43 warrants for the apprehen-sion of the girl, Dora Steplin, and giventhem into the hands of all the police officers
and private detectives of the Southside.All of these men are following differentclews all over ,the city, and, I believe thatwe will get some results by Ihave every reason to think, therefore, thatanother examination will take place byWednesday night Until then everythinghas to be left as it is."
"Has any information been made againstthis man 'James?' "
"Yes, I have the sworn information here,and the charge is very serious, but I am notgoing to show it to you. Somebody has beentampering with my docket, and 1 am not goingto let another man see it.
JAMES BEING VTATCHED.
"But you may rest assured of one point; assoon as we havo ascertained the whereaboutsof Dora Steplin, Mr. 'James' will be arrested.I have laid my plans in such a manner thatthere is no escape for him. I have a specialofficer engaged to watch him and his everyfootstep, and the officer can arrest bim at anymoment."
"But then you must have a warrant forhim."
"Not necessarily. In a case of this kind,where a very serious matter Is involved, anofficer can make an arrest without being armedwith the formality of a warrant. Bnt pshawlHe is not the only manl" continued the Alder-man. "I tell you there are several more meninvolved in this business besides Mr. 'James,'but they will all be caught at tbe proper time;they will not get away, I give you my wora forthat. They are all lawyers, of course."
"The 'Squire also told Tee Dispatch re- -porter.the name of the lawyer, but, until someofficial action is taken, that name is, and mustbe, withheld. t
A gentleman who made a visit at tbe homeof Mrs Barbara Steplin, and who had a con-versation with that lady, stated last night thathe felt pretty certain the mother knows whereher danghter is, and he also inferred that some-body might yet be induced to compromise thecase.
WHAT THE LAW5TEB SAYS.The Dispatch reporter also called at the
residence of "James," tbe lawyer, who lives onthe East tide of the Allegheny river, somemiles up. During a conversation with thatgentleman earlier in the day, it is alleged,he admitted that he had written several lettersto Dora, signed "James." He also admitted thattbe girl bad lived with him, as a domestic serv-ant at his home, for two weeks. He stronglyrepuuiaieu me luea, nowever, mat mere wereany grounds for zerious charges against him,and last night, at his home, he concluded bysaying:
"As far as I know there have not been anycharges made against me as yet, and if anynewspaper publishes my name in connectionWith.the case which, I have been told will bedone then I will hold that newspaper re-sponsible."
AGENT DEAN LOCATES HER.
Antl-Crnel- ty Society on tbe Track of theHidden Girl.
Agent Dean, of tbe Society, for the Preven-tion of Cruelty to Children, bas- - taken up theDora Steplin case Independently of AldermanHartman. He has employed a woman as a de-
tective to aid bim in the case. Mr. Deanthinks they have located the girl but will notgive tbe locality definitely. He says be feelssure she is in a house in one of the suburbs.
Yesterday tbe woman detective approachedthe house in question and as she did so saw agirl answering the description of Dora dlsap--
around the corner of the porch. Mr.lean thinks tUe girl has received instructions
to keep out of the way when strangers comenear the house. He thinks he will be able tolocate her positively by this evening. -
WHAT WILL THEY DO?
The Life of a Speak-Eas- y Proprietor IsNot a Peculiarly Happy One.
Proprietors of "speak-casies-" who fear theymay get their names registered in Agent
books, if they pay. the United Statesspecial tax, are between tbe devil and deepwater. Tbey reason this way: If jMcCall andthe United States deputies have missed themthey may make port safely. If caught bycither the other is liable to put in an appear-ance also, and they will get a box on each ear.
While no steps toward prosecution havebeen taken by the Internal Revenue Collector,people who are supposed to be selling liquorbave been invited into the captain's office andnearly a score have done so, and settled tbelrbill there, among them some proprietors of dis-reputable house 8. The officials do not troublethemselves with infractions of the State law.Their books are open for inspection, but theydo not aid in prosecuting violators. As the pen-alty for selling without United States licenseis $100 to $5,00 fine and 30 days to 2 years im-prisonment, it doesn't pay to fool with UncleSam unless your illicit business is very profit-able and you don't mind being locked up.
Taking it long and broad most "speak-easy- "proprietors will reason that they may as wellbe bung for a sheep as a lamb, for the procur-ing of a license from the United States wouldnot save them in a State prosecution, and thegetting of it would only tend to expose a flankto the local enemy.
"SOME REMARKABLE BIDDING.
All Sorts of Bids for Boring; Artesian Wellsin tbe Parks.
At a meeting of the Allegheny Committee onParks last evening bids were opened for bor-ing tbe artesian wells that it is proposed to putdown in the parks. They varied considerably,some of them being for tbe entire four wellscomplete, others for just the boring, by thofoot or by tbe whole, and some were for casingand pumps only. Tbe bids ran all the wayfrom 29 cents to $1 60 for the boring alone, andtbe same discrepancy characterized the bids fortbe equipment. One bidder proposed to putdown two wells at $1 each, and two at $375each. Tbe J. M. Gusky Company and Stras-burg-
and Joseph agreed to bear tbe expenseof putting down two wells, and altogether thematter appeared to be so jumbled that it wasall left to a Contracts werolet for the construction of the Department ofPublic Comfort and Workshop. The resolu-tion for a site for the Thomas A Armstrongmonument was held over.
Found Her Child.Mrs. Rhodes, the mother of the
girl whose body was found at Seaver the dayafter the Johnstown flood recognized thepicture of the child yesterday at the Ladies'Belief Committee at tbe new Exposition build-ing. She stated that tbe child's name wasMinnie, and she, with two other children be-longing to her, were drowned.
Allegheny Gambling Ordinance Tabled.The Police Committee of Allegheny met last
night, took up tbe Mayor's ordinance relatingto disorderly conduct cases, gambling and beg-ging, and laid it on tbe table. This is the sec-ond ordinance of the kind that has been simi-larly disposed of this year. Chief Kirschlerwas authorized to employ 20 extra' officers onJuly 4.
Alleged Highwaymen Arrested.Detectives Murphy and Johnston arrested
William Knoeple. Frank Snyder and LewisPhillips yesterday on suspicion of having beenthe parties who robbed William Bay of $42 Sat-urday afternoon in the Allegheny parks.
Probably Fatally Injured.John Moran, an employe of Booth & Flinn.
was probably fatally ' injured yesterday onWylle avenue by a cave-i-n of a trench in which I
he was working. Ho was taken to the WestPenn Hospital,
A HisCareer ns a. Soldier.
Mr. A B. Biblman, the n restaura-teur of Diamond street, died last night at hishome-afte- r being ill for the last three months.
About six weeksago his physiciansexpressed it as'their opinion thatit was impossiblefor tbe sufferer torecover entirely,and ever since ithas been a hover-ing between lifeand death untilat last the chordof life vsnappedaltogether.
Mr. Bihlmanbas been in this
country for nearly 40 years and for over 30
years he has been prominently identified withthe restaurant business of this city. He wasprominently connected with all the best knownGerman societies, and among his compatriotshe was looked upon as one of their representa;tive men In Western Pennsylvania. But in hisbusiness he also cme in contact with tho bestbusiness and commercial men of Pittsburg,Germans as well as hosts of others, and all whoknew him held him in very high regard.
Mr. Bihlman was born in Kroetzlngen.Baden. Germany, where his father was a shoe-
maker. When the boy bad grown up his fathermade him an apprentice in his trade, and afterhe had become proficient he left his father'shome to travel, in the same manner as mostyoung German tradesmen do. In other words,he went "Auf die Walz." During this tour oftraveling, which was all done on foot, he wentto Paris, and there ho obtained employment ina restaurant, where he learned the cateringbusiness.
In 1848, at the outbreak of the Bevolution. hereturned to Baden, where he entered a volun-teer corps to fight against the Prussians. Th"ecorps was a part of the Baden BevolutionaryArmy, and young Bihlman distinguished him-self to such an extent that be was made captain of a company. v
But his youthful daring in the front againstthe enemy brougbthim always into danger,and be was at last taken prisoner and trans-ported to tbe .Prussian fortress at Bastatt.However, a man like Bihlman was not afraid,even behind prison walls, and his courageousspirit could not be daunted. He at last .es-
caped from the place in a vtry miraculousmanner, and fled. He luckily got out of thecountry, and, succeeding in gaining a seaport,immediately embarked for America.
He came at once to Pittsburg and, afterawhile, obtained a position as engineer on thePittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad.But railroading did not suit him. long, and hereturned to the city to open a restaurant. Hisfirst venture was on Penn avenue, nearTwelfth street. From here he went to openthe "Volkshalle."' on Eleventh, an old hostelry,;hlch used to be known as Freeman's Hall.
After that he moved to the Atlantic Garden onDiamond street.
He had not been in Pittsburg very long whenhe was married to a young lady who came fromhis native town in Baden. Mr. Bihlman leavesseveral grown-u- p children. Two of his sonshave for some time been at the helm of his finebusiness on Diamond street.
He was one of the oldest members of theFrohsinn Singing Society, a member of tbeCentral Turnverein and also of JeffersonLodge, F. and A. M.

The Governor Says Great Changes HaveBeen Made at Johnstown.
HE TALES OF DAMAGE BY THE JUNIATA
Governor Beaver, of this great Common-
wealth,- was in this city for about one hourand 20 minutes last night on his way toClarion from Johnstown. He departed onthe Buffalo express for Foxburg, and fromthere will go to Harrisbarg. He will bein Philadelphia on Thursday 'to orate at aFourth of July demonstration.
Tbe Governor spent the day at Johns-town and took a view of the work to ascer-tain how it was progressing. In speakinglast evening of what he saw he said:
"The work of cleaning up the debris has.progressed more rapidly than I ever antici-pated it would. While going the roundsthis morning I heard the people finding faultaud criticising tbe work of the laborers. ThisI consider to be a verygood sign that tbey have,pulled themselves out of the hope that theState was going to do everything and they arenow relying upon themselves. When peopleget pettish they are in a condition to helpthemselves and do not want to be placed undercompliments to anybody. The houses the peo-ple are now getting are larger than those sentthem at first. They are four feet longer andtwo' wider than
THE DOO HOUSES."The latter were only for temporary occu-
pancy, and even if they were small the peopleshould not have objected to living in them.They are better than a tent to live in, espec-ially for children.
"The State officers will remain in charge ofthe work until it has been proved that theresidents of the town can take hold andmanage for themsolves. The State Board ofHealth will stay there, long after the otherofficers have been taken away and they willcontinue to ward off any contagicn. GeneralHastings will probably be enabled to leave inabout two weeks, but, if he thinks his servicesare needed there he will stay all summer.
"Judge Cummins, one of the Commissioners,will be the resident officer at the place. Hewill move his family to Cressun, and will be atJohnstown every day. He has sent out blanksasking for information and after they bavebeeu filled we will pay out the relief funds.In tbe blanks each signer is asked to give thenumber of members In his or her family, howmuch real estate they owned and the valuationof it, bow much household goods the familybad on hand and what it was worth, tbe occu-pation of the head of tbe family and the wagesreceived, etc., etc His estimate of the losseswill be referred to the commission, and thiswill form a basis for the distribution of relieffunds. Hearings will be granted people tomake better claims. There will be no starchamber sessions; everything will be public
THE JUNIATA FLOOD."The people of this city need to be enlight-
ened upon what damage was done outside ofJohnstown by tbe floods. The condition of thepeople in the Juniata and Susquebanna Val-leys was deplorable. The devastation alongthe bottom farming lands was greater than any.one in this section of the State has any ideaof. All tbe crops wero ruined but the mostdamage done was the farms were "scoured."The heavy logs and trees being washed alongthe ground just scooped the loam off, leavingthe bare clay. From Tyrone to tbe mouth ofthe Juniata river and to Harrisburg there wasterrible destruction. At Lewistown houseswere swept away and everything onthe farms lost., On the north branchof the Susquehanna there was bo seri-ous destruction and no lives lost. On theother branch, from Benovo to Harrisburg, thetowns of Lock Haven, Williamsport, JerseyShore, Northumberland; Sunbury and Miltonwere greatly damaged and lives were losr.'.'
Adjutant General H. A. Axline, of Ohio, andJ. B.Foraker.Jr.. ton of. the Governor, were
'fellow passengers with the Governor. Theformer said he was greatly surprised at the im-provement that has been made within ten days.

Their Case Mast Come In the Way oftbe Same as Wholesalers A
Char With Mr.Sweltzer.Some surprise was manifested in legal-circl-
es
last night 'at the ruling of Judge Stowe in thematter of, the reversed decisions of JudgeWhite. Judge- Stowe directed the bottlers to
their cases on Wednesday upon thesame basis as the wholesalers in appealed cases,whereas there had been a supposition that,under the ruling of the State Supreme Court,all that the bottlers had to do was to presentthemselves and their money and receive theirlicenses. But tbe bottlers who were refusedlicense are unmistakably upon the same legalplane as the wholesalers, both branches of thetrade coming under the terms of the lengthydecision filed in tbe Pollard case. The opinionwritten by Judge Paxson devotes only a fewlines to the Harris et ai. bottlers' cases, sayingsimply that tbe cases on appeal are reversedupon the general grounds in the elaborateopinion banded down in tbe Pollard case.
J. Bowman Sweitzer, of tbe Supreme CourtProthonotary's office, stated last bight thatthere is no mittimus or mandamus having abearing on the case outside .of the formalopinion of the Court, which arrived yesterdaymorning, and was made the basis of JudgeStowe'a ruling.
It seems, therefore, that there is no royalroad to fortune for the bottlers, who must takethe regular course of procedure in the matterof rehearings before the Court of Quarter Ses-sions.
