BSSgSSSgSS fr WJf"?? f - THE PITTSBTTRG- DISPATCH, THITESDAT, JUNE 18 r ?' Tinned Plate Men Meet and Discuss Methods for Manufacturing That Famous Product. MAX Y MILLS AKEBEING ERECTED. Steel Makers Will Supply the Slats to the Tinners at Prices Much Tinder the Cost Abroad. THE WESTERN-IKON1 SCALE GITEN OUT. Is the Same as Last Tear's With a Few portaiit Chariots in Extras. TJhim- The Tinned-Plato Manufacturers Associa tion of the United States held its regular monthly meeting yesterday In tho parlors.of the Hotel Anderson. Kepresentatlves from 27 establishments interested in the manu facture of, or already engaged in making tinned and tome plate, were present. Dis cussion dnring tho meeting turned princi pally on methods for making tinned and tcrne plate, and some little time "was de voted to a consideration of what constituted eligibility to membership in this association. This was a point not decided. Those present" included- Xorton Brothers, Chicago; St. Louis Stamping Company; United States Iron and Tin Plate Company, The Britton Rolling Mill Company, Cleveland; Somers Brothers, Brooklyn; Republic Iron Works, The Welsh American Tin Plate Company, Philadelphia; W. Dewees Wood & Co, The I'iqua Rolling Mill Company, Falcon Iron and ail Company, Jfiles, O.: Shoenberger & Co Marshall, Bros. & Co., Philadelphia; Bellaire Kail Works, Wellsvillo Plate and Sheet Iron Company, Aetna Iron and Steel Company, Bridgeport, O., Tho Standard Iron Company, Bridgeport, O.; Alan Wood Company, Phila delphia; Sharon Iron Company, Limited, Sharon. Pa.; McCollough Iron rCompany, Philadelphia; Tho Lewis Steel Sheet and Tin Plate Company, Joliet, I1L: Jones & Laughlins, Limited; Laufm&u & Co., Apollo, Pa.; Canonsburg Iron and Steel Company, Jennings Bros. & Co., Summers Bros. & Co., Struthers, O.; W. K. Leonard and P. B, Fla wson, of Piqua, O. When the meeting was over Mr. Crono meyer, of the United Mates Iron and Tin Plate Company, informed The Dispatch re porter that au invitation had-been extended to tho members to witness the result of a new method for making tinned plate which wou'd bo in operation at Demniler in two weeks' time. His firm are now turning out 40 boxes of coated plates perday, in addition to twice as many boxes of black plate sent to other places for tinning. Arrangements were being made to erect another -stack, and the works would bo able then to turn out an other 10 boxes per day. Tho new method of making tinned plate as in conjunction with Shoenbergcr & Co., who would supply the slab of a certain size, rendering tho manufacture of the article more-economical still. Steel Men to Supply Tin Plato Makers. John Z. Speer, of Shoenberger & Co, who was present at tho meeting, had a fow re mark to make which were to-tho point. "Unquestionably" he said, "tinned plate will be made in tho course of time, but the industry is a new one about which we, in this country, have little knowledge, and thoc interested in it are going slow. Tho first thing prospective makers consider is the best method, and no man is going to put down a plant until he is satisfied he has the best method produced. Tho way in which tinned plate ill be made, at first, will be by steel makers pounding lab of a size which will leave the tinned plate man but little to do in the way of rolling. We have experi mented with this matter and find that slabs cut down to 14 inches wide, one eighth thick and 21 long, can be supplied to thetinned plate manufacturer at L6,per pound, and place him in a position to make plate at a mucn cheaper cost than it is now being made from billets as is done on the other side. With steel makers supply ing slabs of such handy size all thetinned plater has to do is to erect his cold rolls and finishing plant, because he can buy from the manufacturer, who is already equipped for making those slabs at a much lower cost than he can erect a plant and make the steel for himself. P. II. Laufman received a very interesting letter from the Government architect super vising the work on the New York Court House and postofflce which he handed to a Mr. Walker, who represented a trade paper, supposing he was connected with tho dally press, but he refused to impart its contents when so requested. The letter was com mendatory of terne plate made at Apollo, and set at rest any doubts, if they still evistcd, of the ability of American manu facturers to make plate in competition -with the foreign article. Sir. Lauf man said that his Xcw York agents, IL R. De Milt & Co, of 235 Water street, had written him pressing letters for an immediate supply, and Itingle & Son were using his plates on tho new Emigrant build ing 011 Ellis Island. Mr. Laufman's product is 31J boxes of terne plate per day.or equal to 72boes of 14x20 size. He said he -would ha e two more pots in operation in CO days. S'repariug to Knlargc Their Plants. Alfred M.irshnll, of Marshall Bros, Phila delphia, said his firm -n ere going to enlarge their existing galvanizing and tinning w orks. They might erect a plant later on. Mr. Ames, of the Solar Iron and .Nail Com pjny, Xilcs, O, said he was figuring on a tinned plate plant, no w as, first, to acquaint liimsclt with the bet methods, and would wait until he saw the result of Mr. Crono mevei's experiments with the Shoenberger fctrel. Mr. Britton said his firm would be making tinned piates within a short time. Ho ex pected to have five mills, with an output of 600 boxes, hi operation by September or October. A member of the association read a paper defining "a tin plate plant," part of which is reproduced. A tin plate plant is a plant that grows; it resembles the grain of mustard seed. It is a miall seed, but it will grow until it will be tin- greatest among the herbs and becomes a tiee. and the birds of the air will come and lodge in the branches thereof A rich man owns a large garden, beauti lully endowed by nature and full of all kinds of choice plants. His dominion is very large and his people comprise all nationalities of the world, and therefore a mistake now and then must be pardoned. By some such oversight one of the servants of the rich man -n as allon cd to throw the tin plate plant outside tho garden lence. The consequences were that tho little plant being left entirely without any foster ing care could not take root. So it lingered for a great many eary years, but at lai-t the ruh man concluded to mend his fences, and emploj cd a ere w of expert fence-builders. These lence-builders were led by an admir able foreman, and they did their work well. They fenced in carefully all the plants; but left many gates open, through which the neighbors could bring to the rich man's peo ple uch products as his own soil -nould not produce. A Little Plant on the Outside. Tho foreman of these fence builders ob served a little tinplatc plant struggling out side of the fence, and he said to his col leagues we must build our fence around that little plant and take it inside. I am convinced it will grow nicely on our froil if w o properly cultivate it, and accord- "'. i nuBuuiic xnia action, However, I created a great uproar among tho people be- I wanfred?n& the pond, and manv of the rich man's work men had made quite a fortune by fetching it iicros and selling it at a good profit to then other fellow workmen. They taid to themselves, ir this plant is to bo grown in Mdi of the fence and it bears fruit, our oc cupation is gone. A large number of tho people in the garden first hearing tho grave charge against the fence builders, and being called on to express an opinion boforo they had had a chanco to hear the other side and nnd to weigh the matter thoroughly in their own minds, condemned tho fence builders, and the consequence was that a good many of them, among them the foreman, -weie discharged. But gradually the tin plate plant, as w ell as several other plants w hlch had been taken insido tho fence, began to prow nnd spicad, and then the rich man, as wellas his pcoplo,aw that they couldgrow on their own premises such fruit as they had to bo buying from others, and that they them selves could harvest the profits which before they had paid to tho traders, who had brought the fruits from across the pond, and who.although professing to belong to the rich man's people, were rather inclined to bo more friendly with the neighbors, because it helped their pocsetbook. And after the rich man's people became convinced that they had been sadly deceived and had been ycry angry and the rich man In order to jteep puuuc imu vu uisuirarge ail tuo sianuer ers and reinstate his old trusty fenco bullders. The foreman of the fence-builders was first made superintendent of one of tho most beautiful spots in tho largo gardon, and after the lapse of a fow years ne was made general supervisor of the whole estab lishment. THE SAME' OLD SCALE. Very Few Changes of Importance in the New Prices for Iron-Making The Con vention Will Tiy to Cat Down the Rep resentation in Future Meetings. Tho Western iron scalo was handed down by the Amalgamated Association Conven tion last night. As already stated in The Dispatch, the price of boiling remains as bo, fore, and the changes in the scalo are unim portant. They are as follows: In the memorandum of agreement a third paragraph is added as follows: The time in scrapping and busheling, also finishing and all other departments shall in no case exceed nine (9) hours from the time the first heat is charged until charging shall cease, this is not to apply to boiling depart ments (except scrapping and busheling) also rod mills, wire mills, nut and bolt works, and other departments working under the eight (8) hour system. On page 8 last year's scale. Section 1, reads: First The charge for boiling furnaces shall be as follows: Single furnaces, not less than five hundred (500) or more than five hundred and fifty (530) pounds per heat; double furnaces, not less than ono thousand (1,000) or more than eleven hundred (1,100) pounds per heat; Slemen's furnaces, not less than fourteen hundred (1.400) or more than fifteen hundred and fifty (1,650) pounds per heat: double double furnaces, not less than two thousand (2,000) or more than two thou sand two hundred (2,200) pounds per heat, nnd the two weeks' work shall be averaged. Section 3 Is run into Section 2 with the change: By the word majority is meant, a majority of the furnaces working hard iron, inferior coal, tools and scarcity of ore and scrap, or any of them, shall be considered a grievance. Page 12 On guide, 10-inch, cotton-tie and hoop mills by oval is put on list, for which the prioe is $4 25 to roller, $S 12 to heater and 91 06 to rougher and catcher. Bier. He'ter.R'pher.

A2TOLE3. There are two -new sizes in hoops and cot ton tie mills; 1J milkcan hoops, for which the roller gets $2 05 and heater, roller and catcher the usual proportion, and 1 racket iron at $1 90 for roller and the usual propor tion to rougher, catcher and heater. The change in tank and plate mills is: Top and bottom prices must do paid air sheet bars cut from crop ends and defective plates, iron and steel. In sheet mills the change makes tho shear man receive one-fifth, the same paid to the rollers. In sheet-mill hands' scale the day hands on sheet and Jobbing mills working two turns of eight hours each and on mills work ingthree turns of eight hours each, shall bo paid a full turn's work in case of a failure to make the eight heats in the time specified in memoranda of agreement on a two-turn mill or a full turn on a thi ee-turn mill. The addenda is: Roughing down on bar, structural and 12-inch mills must be paid not less than 30 per cent of rollers' wages. The steel scale will not bo changed, and the Eastern scale to follow will be the same, ith few alterations, as last year's. Dis cussion ill ensuo on a cutting down of rep resentation, as the sense of the convention is that more business can be done with fewer delegates. Tho members will visit McKees port to-morrow or Saturday. THE NATIONAL SALUTE. Battery B Will Open the Fourth-of July Celebration at the Park. With the booming of cannon and the waving of the national colors the Fourth of July celebration at Schenley Park will be opened. Battery B will fire a national salute. Lieutenant Lew Brown, of the bat tery, called on tho Mayor yestorday after noon, and it was decided that the battery would be on hand at 9 o'clock, sharp, when every sergeant, gunner and other member of the organization will be at his position wait ing for the word to fire. Promptly at 9 o'clock the big flag will be hoisted to the tall mast on the highest point in Schenley Park, the word will be given and the Parrot guns of the battery will boom forth the announce ment that Independence Day is here and tho celebration has begun. Lieutenant Brown M 111 be in command. Forty-four rounds will be fired one for each State in the Union- constituting the national artillery salute. It v as stuted yesterday that the Squirrel Hill Electric Railway Company was making vigorous efforts to get its line in operation by the Fourth to catch the immense traffic ex pected that day. The committee confidently expects that if the weather is at all favor able there will be over 100,000 people in at tendance at tho celebration. Yesterday's contributions were: Harry iBrown, $10; Sheafer & Lloyd, $10; Garrison, Williams & Co., Limited. $10; C. A. Robinson, $25; J. E. A'ormecutt, $5: C. H. Lloyd, $5; W. J. King, $5: C. R. Vomer, $5; William T. Espy, $5; W. W. Wattles, $5; Best & Co., $5. Total, $70. HOOKEY DUKNING IS DEAD. The Well-Known Pittsburg Cab Driver Joins the Great Minority. "Hookey" is dead. But few people In Pitts burg will fail to rjcall the familiar figure of "Hookey," or Edward Durnlng, who was for many years one of the favorite hackmen of the city. He was indeed a unique and inter esting personality. While acting as a hack man he was employed for about 14 years in Archibald's stables, Liberty stroot, and there last night were gathered some "of his oldest friends who had dropped in to have n talk over his sudden death. He was a soldier during the late war. There was perhaps no more popular man In Pittsburg than Edward Durning. All the city officials knew him. In his palmv davs he -n as noted for the prodigality withVhich ho scattered his money, lie would go out to iiomewooa races, make a pile or $250, and fcpend it as quickly as it was made. Three or four years ago he got a stroke of paralysis which left his right side powerless. Last year ho was appointed to take caio of the animals at Schenley Park, and while there his popularity Increased by leaps 'and bounds. One of tho park wagons Is named after him. Onlv a few days ago he was seon walking down Fifth avenue, apparently in the best of health. A EIRE AVERTED. An Electric Wire Starts a Blaze on the Hant ofa Law Building. The Marshall law building, on Diamond street, opposite the Court House, had a nar row escape from destruction by fire yester day afternoon. About S o'clock Coroner Mc Dowell, looking out of the window of his of fice in the Court H0ue, saw a peculiar bluo flame leaping up about two feet from tho roof of the building. He notiflod T. M. Mar shall, Jr., and they started upstairs. Tho attic was full of smoke and a still alarm was sent in. A large portion of the roof was on fire, but it was soon extinguished with a Babcock. Tho damage was slight. The fire had been caused ,by an electric light wire coming In contact with tho tin on tho roof of the building. A circuit was there formed and the electrical current burned out the tin and set fire to tho wood beneath. IT IS NOT SOLD YET. Durbln Home Sajs His Firm Has Not Bought Christ Church. 1? reprd to the report that Joseph" Home Co. had purchased tho Christ M. E. Church property. "Wo have not bought tho propertyas yet," he said. "Whether w e shall or not is further along." Wants Aid to Recover His Spectacles. David Ray, an old Southside citizen of South Seventeenth and Bingham streets, reported last evening to the police the loss of a valuable pair of spectacles, and asked air in recovering them. Until a few days ago he was totally blind. An operation was performed on his eyes and sight restored by using certain kind of spectacles. While on Carson street a few days ago ho dropped them and a woman was noticed to pick them up. Being unable to buy another pair ne asked the police to help him recover tho lost ones. A SENSATIONAL. SUIT Filed by Mrs. Marie Collins, Who Wants a Divorce and Alimony. UNI NMBEB OP CHAKGES MADE. The Accused Husband Enters a Strong and Sweeping Denial. A TICTTM OP TERRIBLY -HARD ITJCK Last cvenlng.the court bureau sent out the following rather conservative 'announce ment, taken from tho records: "Mrs. Marie Collins to-day entered suit for a divorce from the bed and board of Stephen Col lins, and asked for alimony. Mrs. Collins states that she was married in 1S8L She charges her husband with cruelty, infidelity and neglect. On one occasion, she says, he gave her something to drink as a medicine. It made her sick and' she took it to a physi cian, who made an analysis of it and found arsenic in it. Last week he struck her In the face with his fist and loosened her teeth. He has neglected to provide for her and she has been compelled to apply to friends for as sistance. Sho also accuses him of "unfaith fulness." Stephen Collins is well-known in the city, having but recently resigned from an im portant position in tho postofflce. He has many friends, and is State Councilor of the Junior Order of American Mechanics. A Statement From the Defendant. The correspondent of The Dispatch at Cleveland, wliere the Rational Council of the Junior Order is in session, was instructed to secure' a statement from the defendant in tho suit. At midnight ho wired an expres sion from Mr. Collins, who spoke as follows: "It is a perfect surprise to me. It is cer tain that for some time I have been tho vic tim of terribly bad luck, I have tried in everyway to right it down but one thing follows another. The cruelty consists in not being able financially to provide every luxury. The neglect consists in my being absent from home almost con stantly attending to my official duties. The chargo of infidelity is groundless, nnd I will fight my calumniators to tho end. My attor ney is S. U. Trent, and I will be in Pittsburg Friday morning." When your correspondent called Mr. Col lins' attention to the charge that he had given his wife arsenic, a smile of Indiffer ence crept over his face as he said: A Very Positive Denial. "I thought when you first saw me that there was someone else back of this. I am sure of it now, but I think they are overreaching themselves in taking advantage of my ab sence, and I'll prove it when I get home. I never gave Mrs. Collins medicine of any kind. I know of a time when sho charged others with giving her a poisonous drug." Outside of this, says tho telegram from Cleveland, It may be stated that Mrs. Collins Is a Catholic. The natural opposition that would come from her pastor to the organi zation -which Mr. Collins represents may have had something to do with tho case. Mr. Collins seems certain that some one has prompted his wife to take the step she has. Mr. Collins' sister, Mrs. Crawlord, was seen last night. She was not prepared to admit that the parties to the suit were her brother and his wife, as sho had received no direct Information on the subject. She thought it probable,.however, that such was the case. Mrs. Crawford is very indignant at thetharges brought against her brother by his wife. DR. EVANS CAUGHT NAPPING. HeTVas Served "With a Summons for Not Paying His Vehicle Tax. Dr. C. Evans, member of Select Council from the Twenty-third ward, was subjected to a great deal of annoyance on Tuesday by Deputy Vehicle License Ofllcer Means,of the East End, who arrested him on the street for not having paid his vehicle license. Tho doctor was served with a summons, and will have to pay the costs, amounting to several dollars. In addition to his license fee, owing to his forgetfulness. City Treasurer Denniston said that Dr. Evans was only one of a largo number of such cases. He refused "to mention any names, but said there were several wealthy men and politicians of high standing who had the same experience, all on account of having failed to take out their vehicle li censes. It was purely forgetfulness, but the license officers' deputiesn the various parts of the city must earn their salaries from costs, and they are keeping a very close v, ntch on all vehicles. The City Treasurer thinks that from tho present outlook the receipts from vehicle li censes will fall considerably short of the amount estimated by the Financial Commit tee when the appropriation ordinance was adopted. When Mayor Denniston took the office, ten years ago, the receipts from vehi cles only amounted to $22,000 a year. The Mayor made extra efforts to get all this monoy in, and as a result tho receipts grew each year until last year they amounted to nearly $45,000, which was the Finance Commit tee's estimate for this year. The stoppage of work on the streets by contract ors, the halt in business of building trades and the general Introduction of rapid transit are tho causes given for the decrease in tho vehicle licenses this year. WEDNESDAY'S MINOR MISHAPS. Accident Records From the Note Books ot the Surgeons. Yesterday's accidents were only minor affairs, with the exception of one boy, who fell in a tub of oil. The list follows: McAifKALLT John McAnnally, a boy, em ployed at the Black Diamond Steel Works, fell into a tub of boiling oil yesterday after noon, and was frightfully burned about tho low er portion of his body. His condition is critical. Hcohes William Hughes, aged 25, had his arm crushed yesterday by getting caught in some machinerv whilo workinir at Oliver vBros. & Phillips' car shops, Southside. He was removed to the II omcopathio Hospital. Joxes A small boy named Jones had his left arm fractured by a fall from a wagon upon which he was stealing a ride on Second avenue yesterday evening. Oweks Charles Owens, an employe of the Edgar Thomson Steol Works, Brad dock, was seriously injured internally by a stack of rails falling upon him while at work yesterday. , Berky Geoi-ge Berry, Collins avenue, was kicked by his horse yesterday morning nnd received injuries which may probably result fatally. IN LALZELL'S INTEREST. The Executive Committee of the Clubs Met Last Evening. County A meeting of the Executive Committee of tho Allegheny County Republican Clubs was held last night at the rooms of tho Tariff Club. Mr. Henry Ford presided. It was di rected that all clubs that have not already dono so report at once to the Executive Committee, and send their representatives. The Harrison and Morton Club, of the Thirtieth ward, was the only additional club that sent representatives last night. A resolution was adopted providing for the appointment of a sub-committee on finance, transportation, etc., necessary for the prosecution of the work of the clubs in the convention, and topromoto the interests of John Dalzcll in his candidacy for Pres ident of tho league.

The moeting adjourned to reconvene at the call of tho Chair for tha appointment of the sub-committee. HIS SAVINGS ARE STOLEN. Antonio Hevhkl Has $345 Taken From His Trunk While at Work. Antonio Heviski, who boards at 903 South Winnebago street, reported to tho South side police yesterdaythat he had been rob bed of $35, which had been taken from his trunk whilo ho was at Work yesterday-morning. A tramp, whose name was given as John, arrived at the house on Saturday last, and remained until noon yesterday, when he disappeared and with him the cash. Tho police are looking for John, but as the description of him is rather meager he will bo rather hard to find, unless he gives him self away by a too lavish display of boodle for a tramp. Both persons are Poles. CHAT FROM THE CORNERS. Richard Browit, colored, aged -23 years, died yesterday at the City Farm. So far as known he did not have a relative in tho world. Judoe J.V. F. White will deliver tho reg ular monthly lecture forthe Epj-orth League of Arch Street M.E. Church, Allegheny, on Friday evening. Subject, "Tho Wesleyon Reformation." BRAZIL IS GROWING. The People More Prosperous -Under the Republics-Good Effects Already of the Reciprocity Treaty The Climate Too Humid Along the Coast. John F. Thompson, of Rio de Janeiro, a representative ofa number of Yankee man ufacturers In South America, was at the Mo-' nongahela House yesterday. Mr. Thomp son states that the good effects of recipro city with Brazil are already becoming ap parent. The exports from New York in the last two weeks, of March in anticipation of the treaty were very heavy. Among other things he said: "Since the abolition of slavery and the for mation of the Republic, Brazil has made wonderful strides. Tho new Government aims to protect home indus tries, something to which Dom Pedro and the monarchy paid little attention. The fact is Dom Pedro was ill suited to be a ruler and he devoted most of his time to literature and scientific study. The people were neglected. Nothing can upset theRepubllo now, but the rascality of those in power. The Brazilians don't care what form of Gov ernment 'they have as long as they are not robbed and the country is fairly prosperous. "Along the coast the weather is very hot during the summer. In Rio Janeiro the climate is humid, while-the heat is not any greater than in America, With the watery atmosphere the, perspiration doesn't evap orate, and if clothes are laid away they will become moldy in a short time, unless taken out frequently and brushed. If you were to leave your shoes under a bed for a week iney wouia oe coverea with a green mold. This peculiarity makes ihe climate un healthy and invites fevers. But 50 miles from the coast the weather is delightful. A long range of mountains at this point iubo uii buu seosuure iruui me interior, and beyond these hills Is a wonderful plateau 2,800 feet above the sea level, stretching away for miles. The plateau can be reached in a ride of three hours from tho seashore, and the cars are pulled over the mountains by a series of inclined planes and cables. The finest kind of coffee in great abundance Is grown on this highland, and the Brazilians expect their exports this year will be $200,000,000 in gold. Few Americans know tho possibilities of this country, which has more territory than the United States. They use as much stuff as any other nation on the earth. The people think that they will soon surpass the Yankees. They imagine that America is worked out while they have just commenced. Like the natives ol other new countries, they are elated and a little con ceited over their success. The oities on tho plateau are booming, and some of them are supplied with electric lights, cable and elec tric roads and paved streets. "The A.rgentino Republic is another prom ising State, though under a financial cloud at present. That country was run by a gang of Tweeds who plundered the public treas ury and brought the Government to bank ruptcy. Tho rebellion a year ago was the result of. such misrule. Their dollar is worth 23 cents now, but a few years ago it would pass for 100 cents anywhere. With an honest administration of affairs tho Argentine will soon recover from its tem porary embarrassment." BIGEL0W LETS BIG CONTRACTS. Goehring Will Drill the New Wells at Schenley Park. Chief Blgelowyestorday afternoon awarded the following contracts in open meeting in the Common Council chamber: For drilling five water wells at Schenley Park, toL. S. Goehrlng, at $1 35 per foot. Driving piles on Thirty-third street, Shoup & Anshutz, at $9 56 each. Driving piles on Alexander street, Thirty-sixth ward, J. D. Walker, at $6 each.

Furnishing one tubular bollor for tho new Garfield pumping station, to James McNeill & Co., at $770. . Purnising and applying steam pipe cover ing at the Brilliant pumping station, to Chalmers, Spence & Co., at $225. Tho contracts for ropaving a largo number of streets will be awarded to-morrow. HELD BACK "BY THE STRIKERS. The Police Grow'Weary of Waiting on the New Station House. The question of when the new Fourteenth ward station will be ready .tor occupancy is one that is puzzling the Second district officials not a little at present. The new sta tion house Is very nearly completed, and but a few weeks' work in the carpentering line remains to be done. But the work has been standing for over a month, owing to the car pentersstrike. This state of affairs is very much regretted by the police officials, as the new station house is badly needed. The old station, on Second avenue, is at best a miserable place, and stands In danger of falling at almost any moment, while the sheds occupied by the patrol wagon are absolutely-unfitted for such use. Not the Guilty People. A valuable pin belonging to one of the guests at the Hotel Anderson was mysteri ously missing yesterday, and suspicion pointed to Fat Houston, a porter, and James Ferguson and Richard Lowry, colored bell boys, and they were arrested by Detective Shore. After a full investigation tho police believe the persons arrested to be Innocent and they will be discharged. One Car Disabled. Car No. 30, of the Birmingham Traction Company, caught fire from the motor last night near South Twentieth street about 9-30 o'clock and caused considerable excitement. The fire was put out with a bucket of water and the car pushed to the barn by tho one following it. It was one of the old cars that hud beeu fitted up on a single truck. Not much damage was done. Moreland Opens the Balk City Attorney Moreland yesterday filed about CO more petitions to court for the ap pointment of viewers to mako tho assess ments for the grading and paving ofstreots and tho construction of sewers, under tho curative act of Assembly. This makes 101 petitions for the appointments of viewers that have been filed so lar. Suspected of a Murder.

DRINK WATER DILUTED WITH COFFEE The only saving clauses In man's lease of life, that prevented a foreclosure by His Highness Fahrenheit yesterday, were the gentle breezes that continued blowing all day and tho sudden shower about noon. Al though the thermometer registered a few de grees lower than on Monday and Tuesday, the heat and humid atmosphere were nearly suffocating. The suffering of man and beast previous to the slight fall of rain was ex tremely intense. Mpunting.to the cavo of .Solus at tho top of the Schmidt building, Sergeant Stewart was found silently sweltering, amid streams of slowing esoaping perspiration. The tem perature during tho day ranged from 72 at 8 o'clock in the morning to 89 about 3 o'clock. The effect of the shower at noon was most marked. The temperature at 12 M. was 83, but at 12:30 the sensitive substance had hied itself downwards to 73, a fall of ten degrees. With this slight change it slowly mounted in the maximum and at 5 yesterday evening the murcury regis tered 88. But tho figures furnished by the signal service department, by no means indicated the heat which men and beasts had to en dure. The observations are taken from one of the highest elevations in the city, and tho mean average temperature at that height is usually from two to five degrees lower than that on the pavement. Breezes may be making life endurable at the tops of the signal station, but down on tho crowded thoroughfares little or no air pene trates. The reflected heat from the pavements and glass fronts held In by the narrow streets, and the full rays of the sun beating down on tho heads of the Jostling crowds make life simply a burden. Said Mr. Stewart: "We speak of 90 in the shade when wo ought to speak of 100 in the sun, when men and women have to work and toil." It Showed Only In One Spot. The prognostications of the signal service and the prayers of perspirlnghumanlty were in part answered by the sudden spurt which r was made at a rain yesterday noon. Black, angry loomng ciouas naa Deen seen nover ing over the city for several hours. As, is generally the case before a summer storm, the heat was ex tremely oppressive. This condition of things was the very opposite of what had been predicted by Sergeant Stewart at 11 o'clock. But with the persistency of all weather prophets, he still proclaimed cooler weatnerana occasional suowers 10 ue me schedule for the day. Without any warning the clouds suddenly gatnerea tor a grana center rusn, ana nis predictions were verified by a cooling shower nnd a most agreeable come-down in the temperature. The strange part of it, however, was that the rain only fell down town in Pittsburg, and Allegheny and the East End were left dry as ever. But hopes are ever blasted and the life of man returns to the same soul-trying round. Tho shower was but short lived and the sun was soon shining down with Its accustomod brilliancy and terrific intensity. From 1 till 3-30 r. m. things waxed hotter and still hotter. Ought to Wear Heavy Hats. As the all-absorbing question at present Is the heat, how to keep cool and avoid sun stroke, an intelligent Frenchman who has traveled extensively made some pertinent remarks yesterday that may prove profit able. "In Africa," he said, "the natives reverse the American rule of keeping the head cool and the feet warm. Instead of wearing light hats, their covering for the head weighs eight pounds. The heavy material keeps the sharp rays of the sun from striking into the brain. Now in this country, the rage is to buy straw hats, and you might as well have no protection on the cranium at all. Tho straw falls to keep out the heat, and the head soon be comes like a bakeoven. The best hat for summer is a black, ordinary derby, nnd I would advise people to continuo the use of their winter hats. They may be a little warm, but they protect the head from the deadly rays of the sun. "Of course, everybody has been taught that it is not a good plan to drink ice water in the summer, Dut people will never listen to reason when suffering bodily discomfort. The water should be warmer than the sur rounding temperature. In Arabia on the hot and sterile plains tho Arabs put a small quantity of boiled coffee in a mug and fill it up with hot water. Tho drink makes you perspire freely for a short time, but it soon passes away, and a cool refreshing effect fol lows. Tho coffee takes away the insipid taste of the water, makes the decoction slightly bitter, and it acts as an excellent tonic." List of Yesterday's Sufferers. George Connelly, of Carnegie works, on Thirty-third street, is in a dangerous condi tion as the result ofa sunstroke. John Gleason was overcome whilo at work. Ho is a baggage master at the South side Panhandle depot. William Harris, an employe of Oliver Bros. & Phillips' South Fifteenth street mill, was overcome by the heat yesterday while at work. He was removed to his homo at Thirteenth and Muriel streets by patrol wagon No. 7. His condition is not se rious. Work in the mills progressed about as on Monday and Tuesday, the men working on half time and with an average of tw o to three heats among the puddlers. A con siderable number of cases of sick ness and death were reported yestorday. They were partly the result of the previous day's heat. Cramps, cholera morbus, 'dizzi ness, summer complaints among cmlarcn and men were numerous, and several sun strokes are reported. Tho Allegheny City Health Department had 37 deaths reported since 'Monday morn ing. They were mostly of children under five years. Harry Hooper, a five months old child, liv ing at 30 Eighteenth street, died of cholera infantum, and Mary Hurley, aged four months.Carsonand South Third streets, died of convulsions. Henry Mofflt, teamster of the Solar Iron Works, who was prostrated Tuesday, died yesterday in'West Peun Hospital. He leaves a wife and two children. Patrolman Brobeck, of Wagon No. 7, lost his one-year-oldchild from heat. Hiram Rosenbloom, on Tunnel street, died from heat prostration. THREE MORE BILLS SLAIN. Governor Pattison Lays Them Out Cold With His Little Veto Pen. Harrisburo, June 17. Governor Pattison vetoed threo more bills to-day. Tho first of these was the one amending an act rotating to tho imprisonment of convicts in the Huntingdon Reformatory. Tho Governor savs: Tho provisions of tho Constitntlnn invest tho Executive of the State with the pardoning power to bo exercised upon tho recommendation of the officers of the Com monwealth comprising tho Board of Par dons. Any attempt to separate that power and to lodge it elsewhere than according to the direction of the Constitution is a viola tion of tho plain Intent of that instrument. The second veto was of an act to increase tho compensation of county assessors in cities of tuo second class. "The compensa tion of county nssessors,"tho Governor says, "has been recently fixed bv orcneral law. "Tim purpose of the present bill is to alter that law so far as it relates to cities of the second clnss. This is clearly within the constitu tional prohibition." The bill relating to proceedings for tho re covery or possession of leased furnished rooms or portions of houses or dwellings. The Governor says: "Whatever merits tlio bill may have, or whatever necessity may exist for the special relief which it proposes to afford, are impaired by its failure to pro vide for any appeal from the Judgment of tho magistrate or justice, who is-clothed by its provisions with enlarged powers and summary authority." MEAT INSPECTION IN CHICAGO. Secretary Rusk Organizes His Bureau and Hopes for, Good Itesults. Chicago, June 17. Socretaiy Rusk, of the Dopartment of Agriculture, to-day visited the stock yards and instituted his Meat In spection Bureau. This burean'will micro-v scopically examine, all hog meats intended for export, to determine definitely that they are not affected by tricliime. The Secretary believes that as soon as it can be officially shown that American hog products are certainly healthful, the Euro pean markets will be open to them. A SUMMER RESORT FIRE.

Five hundred homeless persons were fed at the Rutherford Arms last night The ex penses are met by a relief committee. This morning 700 persons were fed.

The Price resolution was adopted unanimously and enthusiastic ally, as the very woTds "tax revision" ex cited all their enthusiasm.

TELEGRAM TO THE DISFATCIT.l Beaver, June 17. About 100 members of the Farmers' Alliance, of this county, held forenoon and afternoon star chamber ses sions, in the Court Honse to-day. The doors were locked and the members pursued their deliberations in spite ofa sweltering atmos phere, the rooms being greatly crowded There was the utmost secrecy observed, and admission was only to be gained by rapping the order's peculiar knock and giving the countersign. A few facts were learned in re gard to the proceedings after the adjourn ment. It has been decided toboldagrandrally the third Tuesday in Augnst. On the last Satur day in August they were to secretly nominate a county ticket, which was to be sprung at the proper moment. A speech made by ex- County commissioner is. .tinnier, in lavor oi requiring the members to pledge themselves to support the ticket, aroused a storm of opposition. A warm debate followed on the question of adopting the platform of the People's party Cincinnati Convention, and the motion to do so was carried. All members had evidently been pledged to secrecy, and no names of the probable candidates could be secured to-day. 'TWAS THE WORK OF WBECKEBS.

The wreck which occurred on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad near this point last night was caused by some unknown person placing a tie upon the trestle work Just be fore reaching the bridge over Coon river.
