MASS MEETING Glassblowers' Delegates Instructed on the Campbell Hatter. lESTEEDAI'S GRIND OF TEE LABOEMILL There is trouble in the Trades Council over a matter which President Gompers, of the Federation of Labor, may have to take hold of before he leaves the city. The Knights of Labor have been charged with organizing men who the Federation men struck against, and there is a war brewing between the officers of the two labor organ- izations. A meeting of the Trades Building League was held last night, when the mat-- ter was discussed. The subject also caused heated remarks in the Trades Council meet- ing Saturday evening, and may lead to the withdrawal 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 the tile cutters and slate roofers employed by W. H. Aiken and Scott White, of this city. HOW IT CAME ABOUT. The Marble, Slate and Tile "Workers' TJnion and the Slate Hoofers' Union or- dered the strike on account of some of the men in both establishments refusing to go into the unions which are attached to the Federation of Labor. , About a week ago, it is claimed by some of the strikers, President Joseph L. Evans, of the Trades Council, organized the men then at work in the two shops, and against whom the federation men struck. The men formed a local assembly, and a charter was applied for through. District Assembly No. 3, of this city. The new local was asked to send delegates to the Trades Council, which they did, and the men appeared at the meeting Saturday night. When they presented their credentials other representatives at the meeting protested against the men being admitted, claiming that tbey had refused to join their respective trades unions. The newly-organiz- men stated that their reason for not joining was that the Fed- eration men were "floaters" and not residents of the city. Tbey came here when they could make mure money in this city than they could anywhere else and were a detriment to the trade. The Federation men denied that this was the case. They stated that nearly all of them were permanent residents of this city, and were as good union men as could be f oilnd anywhere in the country. MB. ROSS BEFCSES TO INTERFERE. Walking Delegate Beck went to Master Workman Boss, of the district, and asked the latter to protest against the charter being issued. Mr. Boss stated that be bad nothing to do with the matter, although be is at the head of the Knights in this city. The delegate then went to President Evans, of the Trade Council, but got no satisfaction there either. A conference between the council of the Building Trades' League, Walking Delegate Beck and President Evans, of the Trades' Conncil, will be held evening to set- tle the difficulty. Besolutions have been put in shape for presentation at tbe meeting to protest agaiu.t the charter being issued to the .SBjooal Assembly. It is suted that the firms by whom the men were employed were in- strumental in having them organized. When the strike was ordered the union contractors of the city withdrew their patronage from the firms and tbe latter lost considerable money. It is stated that thev wanted all their men to be organized, and by getting them into the Knights of Labor hoped that they would get back tbe trade they had lost. Tbe matter has been brought to the attention of President Gompers, who will be asked to give an opinion on the complicated question. A STRIKE MAY COME. Bnt There U Now Ko Excitement or Any- -' thing Final at Homestead One Man Wbo Thinks Thpre Won't be Trouble. The members of tbe Amalgamated Associa- tion at Homestead are still solidly opposed to tbe sliding scale which the Carncgics propose to have to go into effect on June 15. A prominent member of the Amalgamated Association said to a reporter: "We'are all still firm in our de- termination not to sign the scale. In fact, tEo time for signing is now past, and it has not been signed." When asked what would be the result if the manufacturers should be just as determined that it should be signed, be said: "We cannot tell until the repairs have been made and tbe works put in operation. It will be at least three weeks yet before the mill will be started." "Do you think a strike would be the result if the manufacturers, insist upon the signing of the new scale!" the reporter asked. "I cannot answer that question, as I cannot speak for the whole organization; but this I can say. the sliding scale is not satisfactory to one person to my knowledge. On the other hand. every person is perfectly satisfied with the old minimum scale. Should the sliding scale go into effect it would reduce the wages of the workmen fully 85 per cent." Another workman spoken to by the reporter, Baid: "When the works are started, about three weeks hence, that act will decide the question 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 is good enough for us. It i my opinion that a strike will take place before tbe scale is adopted. Tbe Amalgamated Association is imwerlul, and for that reason I think there is sot much chance of a strike. There is ho jus- tice in tbe new scale. There might be if steel blooms remained at a uniform price, of say $25. and If they should go up to 827 or $28 we would be the winners. But should tbe price fall to $23 or $23 SO we lose, and there is more chance of the price falling than rising." Several others spoken to said that It was tbelr opinion the new scale would Dever be signed by tbe Homestead steel workers. All, -- with one exception, gave it as their opinion that a strike would be the immediate result after the starting ol the works if the proprie- tors should try to force the adoption of the eliding scale. The matter is talked of very quietly 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 tbe town yesterday was occasioned by the street parade of the converters of No. 2 mill, who were going to a picnic, and a drum corps of boys and the singing of the Salvation Army who paraded the street in the evening. TO ARRANGE THE LISTS. Prescription Bottle Blowers to Meet tbe Jllnnnfactnrers. A conference of tbe prescription glass bottle blowers and the manufacturers will be held to- day In the office of Wlghtman fc Co. on Wood street. The object of the meeting of the com- mittee will be to arrange for the prescription lists for tbe next fire. It will be the same as the present list, with the exception of a few additions which have been made. A number of vials, etc.. Witch have been, introduced since the last conference, will be put on. EXCEPTIONS ARE FILED. Tbe Bruce Bros.' Boycsttera Ask That the Wnster's Ballnc bo Set Aside. The defendants in the Brace Bros.' boycott ease have filed an exception to the ruling of W. A. Woodward, the master in tbe bearing. Tbey claim that the amount of damages that have been placed for the plaintiffs are entirely too high, and that tbey have not been guilty of any violation of the law. The defendants claim that the mere asking of a person to wlth-- . draw bis patronage from tbe boycotted firm did not constitute a breach of a law. An Elclu-Ho- nr Demonstration. It has been decided to turn meet-- Tbe Amalgamated Men Wrangling With Jones fc Lnoghllni' nnd Oliver's. At the headquarters of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers yester- day a number of new scales for the ensuing year were receded signed by different manu- facturers. Secretary Martin officially an- nounced the following: Keystone Boiling Mill Company, of Pittsburg. Their works are on Second avenue, beyond Soho; P. L. Klmberly & Co., of Sharon; Arethusa Iron Works, of New Castle; Tudor Iron Works; of East St. Louis; New Albany Forge and Boiling Mill Company, and Andrews Bros. & Co., of Haselton, O. In the afternoon Jones & Laughlins sent for the mill committee, and were in consultation with them all afternoon. The various commit, tees employed in Oliver Bros. & Phillips' mills wero also holding a conference with the firm. President eihe was at the meeting in Jones fc lAughllns' office, but until 6 o'clock had not 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 of the firm. The first was held Saturday, and tbe concessions asked then were again requested yesterday. The men were asked to accept a re- duction of SO cents per ton on billets, but they wouldn'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. Tbe men would concede nothing, and tho firm will probably sign tbe scale by the last of the week. In that event thev will start their immense plants on Monday next. In the Tenth street puddle mill some repairs are needed on the en- gine, and it will "require three days' time to make them. SOME POLITICAL GOSSIP. A Democratic Nominee Agnlnst Judge Co- llier on a Full Ticket. "Will we Democrats put up . a candidate against 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 the morning and have found that we have beaten Arch Bowand for District Attorney and Heber McDowell for Coroner, and yet that Collier had a walk-ove- r, because of our delinquency in failing to nominate. Do you think for a mo- ment that we would not club ourselves! We feel it hot in our bones that we are going to win this time." "Who are you going to pit against Judge Collierr" "Let that go until the time comes. I think we can find a candidate who can secure the full vote of the Democratic party and the dis- satisfied vote of the Prohibitionists, and also those who, formerly Republicans, and wbo de- sire to benefit their cause, wish to effectuate tbe defeat of those who, while pretending to be Benublican Prohibitionists, voted against the r prohibition amendment. You can safely be lieve that the Democrats will fill their ticket. The County Democracy will settle that matter on 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 depend upon the matter, go into the convention with an 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 after the Fourth, should be memorable because the members of tbe organization do not desire to make the celebration a partisan affair. On the occasion, as a matter of course, there will be dancing and promenade music! One of the in- teresting features will be tbe sack race between Councilman P. M. Carr, J. J. Fox, Matt 'Squire Herman Hendel and Frank Little. 'Squire Boyle, the President of the organiza- tion, will bo the starter, and Thomas Mullen tbe referee. Then there will be a d foot race be- tween David Bichards, John Tohin, George Smith and David Shield. The mule race will witness Ed Kennedy, Patrick Foley-- ' and 'Squire Boyle taking part. Two picked nines will play .baseball. The County Democracy do not expect that others than their friends will be present. DATING A HIGH TIME. Alleclicny Onicers Arrest Roysterora Who Had n Private Spcnk-Enn- y. Yesteiday about noon Officers Snyder and Alexander, of Allegheny, noticed a half-doze- n men on a pier of the Ft. Wayne railroad bridge regaling themselves with a lot of beer, having three kegs on tap at one time. They were all more or less intoxicated and were creating considerable drunken tumult. After drinking the beer they rowed to a shanty boat at tbe foot of Madison avenue where they continued their noise and tho two officers concluded to arrest them. The men saw them coming and tried to get away, two of them succeeding by jumping in a skiff and pulling to Pittsburg. The others were caught and sent to tbe lockup where thev gave- - their names as George Taylor. James Smith, Wm. Kelly. John Wilson and David Powers. The two men who got away jeered the officers and taunted them as they rowed out at a safe distanee. GOING TO ALASKA. Senators to Investiente.tlie Beported Im- morality Amone the Indians. Sergeant-at-Arm- s Kennedy, of the United States Senate, was a passenger on the limited express to Chicago last night. He stated that he was going to meet Senators Dawes, Mandcr-so- Stockbridge, Morgan, Jones, Pratt and Wolcutt, and proceed with them to Alaska to investigate the reports of immorality among the traders and the Indians of the Territory. It has been stated that the latter sold tbelr squaws to the traders for a plug of cocked hat chewing tobacco and a gallon of very poor "red eye." The trip is supposed to be a junket- ing tour that will cost thousands of dollars; but then the Senators will be thoroughly rested for tbe laborious duties of the next session. ASSISTANT D. B. DISTRICT ATTORNEY. That Official Has Not Been Named Yet by Mr. Walter Lyon. If Mr. Walter Lyon, the newly appointed V. S. District Attorney, has decided- what person he will recommend for bis assistant, be bas not made tha fact public Mr. Alcorn, svho was Mr. Allen's assistant, is still in charge ot tbe office, and bas bad no hint yet as to what will be the result. Mr. lijon, Mr. Alcorn and Deputy U.S. Marshal Chambers were in con- sultation for a considerable length of time yes- terday afternoon, but it was simply in regard to tbe business on bonds and the methods of running the office. TO VISIT POPE LEO. Two Priests of This DIocpsc Left Last Night for Europe. Bev. Father Wertcmbach, of Braudock, formerly one of the priests at St. Paul's Cathe- dral, and Father Coyne, of. Sewickley, left last evening for New York. To-da- y they will sail for Europe to spend the summer ac the differ- ent points of interest. They will visit Ger- many, France and Italy. At the latter place they will visit the Propaganda and pay their respects to Pope Leo. They will be gone over three months on tbe trip. Tbe Sontfaslde Hospltnl Running Well. The directors of the new Southside Hospital held a meeting last night. At his own request Dr. Keller was transferred from tbe surgical to tbe medical staff, and Dr. Young was ap- pointed on the surgical staff. Drs. Thomas and Mundorff were appointed a committee to confer with the railroads and make arrange- ments with tbem to take care of persons in- jured by accident. The hospital is now thor- oughly established, and its capacities are equal to all present demands.. Work of tbe Ladles' Committer. Mrs. H. C. Campbell and Miss Lin M. Pressly returned yesterday from Johnstown, and re- ported at Exposition. Hall. They represent tbe people of Johnstown as being still in pitiable condition. Belief supplies of clothing were forwarded yesterday. A number of sew-iu- g machines, and a large quantity of material for the manufacture of linen articles for house- keepers, await the attention of workers at the hall. Considerable sewing was done yesterday. Beecham's Pills cure sick headache Peaks' Soap, the purest and best ever made. FOETY-THEE- E WARRANTS FORHER James, the Lawyer, Asserts There Are No Grounds for Charges. V IT MAI END IN A QUIET COMPROMISE When 'Squire Hartman was called upon at his office last night and asked for further information 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 any more about the whole thing, except this. I have issued 43 warrants for the apprehen- sion of the girl, Dora Steplin, and given them into the hands of all the police officers and private detectives of the Southside. All of these men are following different clews all over ,the city, and, I believe that we will get some results by I have every reason to think, therefore, that another examination will take place by Wednesday night Until then everything has to be left as it is." "Has any information been made against this man 'James?' " "Yes, I have the sworn information here, and the charge is very serious, but I am not going to show it to you. Somebody has been tampering with my docket, and 1 am not going to let another man see it. JAMES BEING VTATCHED. "But you may rest assured of one point; as soon as we havo ascertained the whereabouts of Dora Steplin, Mr. 'James' will be arrested. I have laid my plans in such a manner that there is no escape for him. I have a special officer engaged to watch him and his every footstep, and the officer can arrest bim at any moment." "But then you must have a warrant for him." "Not necessarily. In a case of this kind, where a very serious matter Is involved, an officer can make an arrest without being armed with the formality of a warrant. Bnt pshawl He is not the only manl" continued the Alder- man. "I tell you there are several more men involved 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 for that. They are all lawyers, of course." "The 'Squire also told Tee Dispatch re- - porter.the name of the lawyer, but, until some official action is taken, that name is, and must be, withheld. t A gentleman who made a visit at tbe home of Mrs Barbara Steplin, and who had a con- versation with that lady, stated last night that he felt pretty certain the mother knows where her danghter is, and he also inferred that some- body might yet be induced to compromise the case. WHAT THE LAW5TEB SAYS. The Dispatch reporter also called at the residence of "James," tbe lawyer, who lives on the East tide of the Allegheny river, some miles up. During a conversation with that gentleman earlier in the day, it is alleged, he admitted that he had written several letters to Dora, signed "James." He also admitted that tbe girl bad lived with him, as a domestic serv- ant at his home, for two weeks. He strongly repuuiaieu me luea, nowever, mat mere were any grounds for zerious charges against him, and last night, at his home, he concluded by saying: "As far as I know there have not been any charges made against me as yet, and if any newspaper publishes my name in connection With.the case which, I have been told will be done then I will hold that newspaper re- sponsible." AGENT DEAN LOCATES HER. Antl-Crnel- ty Society on tbe Track of the Hidden Girl. Agent Dean, of tbe Society, for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Children, bas- - taken up the Dora Steplin case Independently of Alderman Hartman. He has employed a woman as a de- tective to aid bim in the case. Mr. Dean thinks they have located the girl but will not give tbe locality definitely. He says be feels sure she is in a house in one of the suburbs. Yesterday tbe woman detective approached the house in question and as she did so saw a girl 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 come near the house. He thinks he will be able to locate her positively by this evening. - WHAT WILL THEY DO? The Life of a Speak-Eas- y Proprietor Is Not a Peculiarly Happy One. Proprietors of "speak-casies-" who fear they may get their names registered in Agent books, if they pay. the United States special tax, are between tbe devil and deep water. Tbey reason this way: If jMcCall and the United States deputies have missed them they may make port safely. If caught by cither 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 have been taken by the Internal Revenue Collector, people who are supposed to be selling liquor bave been invited into the captain's office and nearly a score have done so, and settled tbelr bill there, among them some proprietors of dis- reputable house 8. The officials do not trouble themselves with infractions of the State law. Their books are open for inspection, but they do not aid in prosecuting violators. As the pen- alty for selling without United States license is $100 to $5,00 fine and 30 days to 2 years im- prisonment, it doesn't pay to fool with Uncle Sam 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 well be bung for a sheep as a lamb, for the procur- ing of a license from the United States would not save them in a State prosecution, and the getting of it would only tend to expose a flank to the local enemy. "SOME REMARKABLE BIDDING. All Sorts of Bids for Boring; Artesian Wells in tbe Parks. At a meeting of the Allegheny Committee on Parks last evening bids were opened for bor- ing tbe artesian wells that it is proposed to put down in the parks. They varied considerably, some of them being for tbe entire four wells complete, others for just the boring, by tho foot or by tbe whole, and some were for casing and pumps only. Tbe bids ran all the way from 29 cents to $1 60 for the boring alone, and tbe same discrepancy characterized the bids for tbe equipment. One bidder proposed to put down two wells at $1 each, and two at $375 each. Tbe J. M. Gusky Company and Stras-burg- and Joseph agreed to bear tbe expense of putting down two wells, and altogether the matter appeared to be so jumbled that it was all left to a Contracts wero let for the construction of the Department of Public Comfort and Workshop. The resolu- tion for a site for the Thomas A Armstrong monument was held over. Found Her Child. Mrs. Rhodes, the mother of the girl whose body was found at Seaver the day after the Johnstown flood recognized the picture of the child yesterday at the Ladies' Belief Committee at tbe new Exposition build- ing. She stated that tbe child's name was Minnie, 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 relating to 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 Kirschler was authorized to employ 20 extra' officers on July 4. Alleged Highwaymen Arrested. Detectives Murphy and Johnston arrested William Knoeple. Frank Snyder and Lewis Phillips yesterday on suspicion of having been the 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 on Wylle avenue by a cave-i- n of a trench in which I he was working. Ho was taken to the West Penn Hospital, A His Career ns a. Soldier. Mr. A B. Biblman, the n restaura- teur of Diamond street, died last night at his home-afte- r being ill for the last three months. About six weeks ago his physicians expressed it as' their opinion that it was impossible for tbe sufferer to recover entirely, and ever since it has been a hover- ing between life and death until at last the chord of life vsnapped altogether. Mr. Bihlman bas been in this country for nearly 40 years and for over 30 years he has been prominently identified with the restaurant business of this city. He was prominently connected with all the best known German societies, and among his compatriots he was looked upon as one of their representa; tive men In Western Pennsylvania. But in his business he also cme in contact with tho best business and commercial men of Pittsburg, Germans as well as hosts of others, and all who knew 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 father made him an apprentice in his trade, and after he had become proficient he left his father's home to travel, in the same manner as most young German tradesmen do. In other words, he went "Auf die Walz." During this tour of traveling, which was all done on foot, he went to Paris, and there ho obtained employment in a restaurant, where he learned the catering business. In 1848, at the outbreak of the Bevolution. he returned to Baden, where he entered a volun- teer corps to fight against the Prussians. Th"e corps was a part of the Baden Bevolutionary Army, and young Bihlman distinguished him- self to such an extent that be was made cap tain of a company. v But his youthful daring in the front against the 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 courageous spirit could not be daunted. He at last .es- caped from the place in a vtry miraculous manner, and fled. He luckily got out of the country, and, succeeding in gaining a seaport, immediately embarked for America. He came at once to Pittsburg and, after awhile, obtained a position as engineer on the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad. But railroading did not suit him. long, and he returned to the city to open a restaurant. His first venture was on Penn avenue, near Twelfth street. From here he went to open the "Volkshalle."' on Eleventh, an old hostelry, ;hlch used to be known as Freeman's Hall. After that he moved to the Atlantic Garden on Diamond street. He had not been in Pittsburg very long when he was married to a young lady who came from his native town in Baden. Mr. Bihlman leaves several grown-u- p children. Two of his sons have for some time been at the helm of his fine business on Diamond street. He was one of the oldest members of the Frohsinn Singing Society, a member of tbe Central Turnverein and also of Jefferson Lodge, F. and A. M. AN ACTIVE BUSINESS. Lnree Increase In tlie' Receipts of tbe Pltts-bur- jr Postofucc Greater Amount of Mall Matter Handled Than Last Year. The accounts of the Pittsburg postoffice for the fiscal year were completed last night. The gross revenue has increased from $411,9S8 SO to $161,836 75, or an Increase of $49,847 89 over the preceding' year. During the year 83.767,929 pieces of mail were handled. This is an in- crease of 12,300,120 pieces over 1888. Tbe' cost on the local matter was $102,063" 42. The amount received from tbe sale of stamps was $367,008 10, or an increase over 18SS;of $33,231. The sale of special request envelopes brought $66,694 05, or over $13,000 more than last year. For newspaper wrappers $16,535 45 was received, showing an increase of $2,810 14 over 1888. The total receipts from this year on the above named and various other sources amounted to $537.411 14, against $520,422 67 for 1888, an increase of nearly $17,000 for .1889. .The. disbursements amounted to $74,-84- 4 26, an increase of $6,349 74 over tho previous year. ,The expenses are for suchi ;things .aW clerk hire, letter farriers and postmaster'1 salary, xne report aiso gives tne numDer oi letters dispatched, both in the city and to other, places.

A. 6111, Knights of Labor, green bottle blowers, was held yester- day in Labor Hall. The object was to instrnct the delegates who are going to the convention of District Assembly 143, to be held at Atlantic City on the 10th Inst., how to vote on certain questions. Thev were given especial instruc- tions in regard to the charges made against President James Campbell, of tho Window Glass Workers' Association, for alleged viok tion of tbe contract labor laws. The matter will be acted upon at the convention, and will also be presented by the District to the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor, to be held In Atlanta, in October. This will make it a national affair, and tho General Assembly will be made take cognizance of the charges. An- other meeting of L. A. 6111 will be held Friday evening, when the delegates will be more fully instructed. President Campbell returned yesterday from Washington,where be is reported to have gone to see Secretary Windom in regard to the charges preferred against him by Attorney Brcnnan, of this city. He would not state tbe result of his Interview, and would not say that ne had been to see tbe Secretary at all. SEARCHING A GRETNA GREEN. Young Jcoplo to Go Where Marriage Li- censes Come Easier. From all appearances Rudolph Bawhouse, a clerk in a furniture store, eloped yesterday morning with Miss Lizzie, the daughter of Mr. J. B. Wolf, a scrap-iro- n dealer residing at 91 Seventh avenue. The young couple had been goiug together three years in opposition to parental wishes on the part of Mr. Wolf. At an early hour yesterday Miss Wolfs parents discovered that she was missing, as was also every article of her ap- parel, her trunk and other small belongings. Bawhouse was also missed.

He Remained in the City Just About One Hoar and 20 Minutes AND STARTED EASTWARD AGAIN. The Governor Says Great Changes Have Been Made at Johnstown. HE TALES OF DAMAGE BY THE JUNIATA Governor Beaver, of this great Common- wealth,- was in this city for about one hour and 20 minutes last night on his way to Clarion from Johnstown. He departed on the Buffalo express for Foxburg, and from there will go to Harrisbarg. He will be in Philadelphia on Thursday 'to orate at a Fourth 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 speaking last 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 rounds this morning I heard the people finding fault aud criticising tbe work of the laborers. This I consider to be a very good sign that tbey have, pulled themselves out of the hope that the State was going to do everything and they are now relying upon themselves. When people get pettish they are in a condition to help themselves and do not want to be placed under compliments to anybody. The houses the peo- ple are now getting are larger than those sent them at first. They are four feet longer and two' wider than THE DOO HOUSES. "The latter were only for temporary occu- pancy, and even if they were small the people should 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 of the work until it has been proved that the residents of the town can take hold and manage for themsolves. The State Board of Health will stay there, long after the other officers have been taken away and they will continue to ward off any contagicn. General Hastings will probably be enabled to leave in about two weeks, but, if he thinks his services are needed there he will stay all summer. "Judge Cummins, one of the Commissioners, will be the resident officer at the place. He will move his family to Cressun, and will be at Johnstown every day. He has sent out blanks asking for information and after they bave beeu filled we will pay out the relief funds. In tbe blanks each signer is asked to give the number of members In his or her family, how much real estate they owned and the valuation of it, bow much household goods the family bad on hand and what it was worth, tbe occu- pation of the head of tbe family and the wages received, etc., etc His estimate of the losses will be referred to the commission, and this will form a basis for the distribution of relief funds. Hearings will be granted people to make better claims. There will be no star chamber sessions; everything will be public THE JUNIATA FLOOD. "The people of this city need to be enlight- ened upon what damage was done outside of Johnstown by tbe floods. The condition of the people in the Juniata and Susquebanna Val- leys was deplorable. The devastation along the bottom farming lands was greater than any. one in this section of the State has any idea of. All tbe crops wero ruined but the most damage done was the farms were "scoured." The heavy logs and trees being washed along the ground just scooped the loam off, leaving the bare clay. From Tyrone to tbe mouth of the Juniata river and to Harrisburg there was terrible destruction. At Lewistown houses were swept away and everything on the farms lost., On the north branch of the Susquehanna there was bo seri- ous destruction and no lives lost. On the other branch, from Benovo to Harrisburg, the towns of Lock Haven, Williamsport, Jersey Shore, Northumberland; Sunbury and Milton were greatly damaged and lives were losr.'.' Adjutant General H. A. Axline, of Ohio, and J. B.Foraker.Jr.. ton of. the Governor, were 'fellow passengers with the Governor. The former said he was greatly surprised at the im- provement that has been made within ten days. MR. FRANK RETIRES. The Building Inspector Flies His Resigna- tion With tbe Clerk, j Building Inspector Frank yesterday filed bis resignation with Clerk Gray, of the Depart- ment of Public Safety. In the official letter be says that circumstances which bave arisen during the past two months impelled him to resign. He bad tried to do his duty, but fre- quent publications from an unwarranted source bad caused so much trouble as to result in the dismissal of his colleague (Mr. Eichboy), and under the circumstances It would be ira- - to remain himself. The new Assistant uilding Inspector, Captain J. AA Brown, bas been put in charge of the office until J. O. Brown, Chief of the Department of Public Safety, returns from Denver, which will be some time next week. TO 'RELIEVE COMMUNITIES. An Interesting Association Growing Ont of tbe Flood Perfecting Organization. Ameetlng of tbe American Belief Associa- tion, formed at Johnstown two weeks ago, was held in this city at the office of Dr. J. Chris Lange last evening.

Their Case Mast Come In the Way of tbe 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 the matter of, the reversed decisions of Judge White. Judge- Stowe directed the bottlers to their cases on Wednesday upon the same 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 present themselves and their money and receive their licenses. But tbe bottlers who were refused license are unmistakably upon the same legal plane as the wholesalers, both branches of the trade coming under the terms of the lengthy decision filed in tbe Pollard case. The opinion written by Judge Paxson devotes only a few lines to the Harris et ai. bottlers' cases, saying simply that tbe cases on appeal are reversed upon the general grounds in the elaborate opinion banded down in tbe Pollard case. J. Bowman Sweitzer, of tbe Supreme Court Prothonotary's office, stated last bight that there is no mittimus or mandamus having a bearing on the case outside .of the formal opinion of the Court, which arrived yesterday morning, and was made the basis of Judge Stowe'a ruling. It seems, therefore, that there is no royal road to fortune for the bottlers, who must take the regular course of procedure in the matter of rehearings before the Court of Quarter Ses- sions.

Last night, .for tbe first time in 30 years, the Fourth Avenue Baptist Church found itself called upon to ordain a minister hi connection with its pastoral work. The person ordained was William Ward West, of the class of of Rochester Theological Seminary, as assist- ant pastor. A council of churches of the Pittsburg Baptist Association was held to con- sider the propriety of setting him apart to the work of tbe gospel ministry. The council met at 3 p. H. and elected Bev. A J. Bonsall, of Rochester, Moderator, and. Prof. J. F. Carey' Secretary. Mr. West passed a creditable examination, and at 7:30 o'clock the ordination services took place in the church. Bev. D. E. Bichards, of Sharpsburg, read the scripture lesson, andProf. Leroy Stephens. President of Mt Pleasant Institute, led in prayer. Bev. D. B. Davis, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, preached the ordination sermon, from Epbesians 1L, Bev. J. W. Riddle delivered the charge to the church, and Bev. A. J. Bonsall the charge to the candidate. The candidate then knelt by the side of the pulpit in the spacious chancel, and was surrounded by all tbe or- dained ministers present, led by the pastor, Bev. H. B. Grose, who placed their right hands on his head, while Bev. J. K. Cramer, of the Thirty-sevent- h Street Baptist Church, offered up a fervent prayer of ordination. The hand of fellowship, on behalf of the council, associa- tion and church, was then extended by Bev. J. M. Scott, of Sewlckley. The newly-mad-e minister of the gospel, Bev. William W ard West, pronounced the benedic- tion, after which he received the congratula- tions of many warm friends. Mr. West will have charge of the chapel of the Fourth Avenue Baptist Church at Linden Grove. A SHERIFF'S LITTLE SUIT. He Wants to Recover a Tidy Sam Lost at tho Festive Faro Bank. rSPECIAI.

.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.

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."

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.

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.
