SNYDER'STWOWIVES Tliey Cause Many' Curious Complications and One Lands Him in Jail IN A PECULIAE POSITION. Be Must Leave the Conntry With One to Get Ont of Prison, But THE OTHER IS HIS PREFERENCE. By tho EeconaWife He Has Children, "With. the First a Fortune. A LIVELY EOMANCE OF IWO CONTINEN TS Cupid plays many pranks but it is seldom he displays such a wicked disposition as he has with Henry Snvder, who is a prisoner in the county jail on account of him. Sny der has two wives. He loves them both and could probably be happy with either if the other was safely out of the way. His position is such, however, that to live with one he must pay the other $5 a week for an indefinite period. If he would cling to the other ho must accompany her to their native home in Germany. His friends are trying to fix up a compromise of some kind to get him out of jail, but his first wife on Saturday entered another charge against him which has complicated the situation desperately. The story of Snyder's matrimonial mis adventures as told by his friends is inter esting. Ho does not claim to be blameless, but is nearly crazy to know what would be the best thing to da Where Bis Troubles Began. Snyder is a cabinetmaker. He was born in Kreis Rhinebeck, Xeikershem, Ger many. His father was well-to-do andhad taught Henry the business which had been followed by his ancestors for generations. Iu the same town lived Mary Byrer, daugh ter of a contractor and builder, who was also well-to-do. Snyder was 24 and Miss Byrer IS. They had grown up together and be came engaged as naturally as doves mate. "When they were married old Mr. Byrer built them a neat little cot tage of many windows with small panes, vines growing over it, and with a bay win dow on the second floor overlooking a bend in the main street of the village. The home was neatly and cosily furnished by the parents of the couple and Mr. Byrer in giving tbem possession said it should be theirs as soon as they presented him with a grandson which must be named after him. This was 12 years ago. Two years rolled around and the grandson had not arrived. A great many of Snyder's companions had come to America to make their fortunes and from the letters they sent home he be came infected with the "America fever." His young wife refused to separate from her old father and Snyder finally deter mined to come to the .New World alone. He settled at once in Allegheny. For two years, it is claimed, he corresponded affec tionately with his wife, and as he was pros pering, was able f send her freaueut re mittances. He frequently begged her to come over, bnt she always declined. The Green-Eyed Monster Appears. One dav a friend, who had just arrived from Neikershem, informed Snyder that Henry Shot, an old schoolmate of his, was paying assiduous attentions to Mrs. Snyder and. was being encouraged. Snyder's first impulse was to return and wreck vengeance on Sboi. Later ho changed his mind and de cided to forget her. Their correspondence ceased. Snyder was working In a coffin works In the lower end of Allegheny. About a j ear after the news of his wire's supposed faithlessness Snyder met and fell in love with Johanna Bullergbam, a pretty Allegheny girt. He was a handsome, Intel ligent fellow, making good wages, and iliss Bullcrgham, not knowing of his previous marriage, accepted him. They were mar lied at once. Four children were born to them, two of whom are living, tho eldest be ing G years old and the other 18 months. Snyder bought a neat little home in Wood's Hun. just off SicCluro avenue, and was as happv as could be. He Joined a building and loan "association, saved his money, and the house is nearly all paid for. He had never told his second wife of his previous mar riage. On August 27 last a tall, dignified lady, clad in mourning and unable to speak Eng lish, called at Snyder's house and ii.quiied for him. When told he was not at home, the visitor Inquired for Mrs. Snvder. It was de veloped that tho two Mrs. Snyders were face to face. The original endeavored to explain, but the second wife Indignantly re fused to listen. Snyder Goes to Jail. Finding explanation useless Mrs. Snyder went to her husband's shop and demanded that he give up his second wile. On his re fusal she went before Alderman McMasters and entered suit against him for desertion. He was taken into court ordered to pay his first wife $5 a week. Being unable to secure the necessarv bondsman Snyder was sent to Jail on September 17, and has temalneu there ever since. His first wife was not anxious to have him locked np, preferring to return to Germany and take him with her. Knowiug after her first meeting with him of his great love for his second wife and fearing that he mteht secure a bond and get out of jail, she on Saturday entered another charge airainst him. The original Mrs. Snyder is a. well-preserved, splendid looking German woman, and her love for Snyder has lived through all these years. She indignantly denies tho story of her relations with Shot, declaring it was a fiction started by her enemies. Her father died recently, leaving her all his wealth, and she is willing to take her hus band back.'with his two children, and for get the past if he will go. Snyder has been unable to bring himself to the point of ac cepting his wife's ultimatum. He grieves greatly that he did not tell his second w if e all about It. He loves ber atarly, he cays, and is heart-broKen over his separation Irom her. She does not Dlame him and frequently calls to see him at the Jail. What tue out come of the strange case will-be cannot now be conjectured, but it is likely something will be done at the hearing before Alderman McMasters on Wednesday. HAD ITS EFFECT. An Address by John Moore Touches Soma of His Hearers. John J. Moore, the reformed sporting man, gave an address at the Open Door Mission Sunday night. His lesson was taken from the fourth chapter of Mark. He spoke on tho subject for nearly an hour, when he asked those who wished to lead a new life to raise their hands. Some 16 men did so and knelt down in prayer. One man gavo up a bottle filled with whisky, while another ga e over a prescrip tion for a bottle of whisky that a doctor gave him to be filled at a drugstore. Mr. Moore claims that no man can give up drunkenness without ho gives up his im moral habits and asks God to give him power to overcome it. BH0EI ST0BIES OF CITY LIFE. The Moorhead W. C. T.

Criticising the Management of Municipal and County Affairs Candidates Favor able to the Labor Cause to Bo Sup portedOrganizing Wage -Earners' Clubs. The Industrial Alliance held a large meeting in Odd Fellows' Hall, Southside, yesterday afternoon. The Executive Com mittee reported that a number of wage earners' clubs were being organized in different wards throughout the city. There was already one club in the Twenty-ninth ward with a membership of over 200. Two clubs hare already been formed in Alle gheny, and the Alliance yesterday author ized the formation of another. The two secretaries will hereafter be paid a salary. The Alliance now has representatives in Lawrence, Butler, "Washington and Alle gheny counties. Although there was no regular motion passed, it was generally understood that the Alliance would not put any regular ticket in the field, but that the object would be to indorse whatever candidates were favorable to the working classes. Quite a number of speeches were made in support of this policy and warning the members to beware of politicians and their tricks. The following address, offered by the Executive Committee, was unanimously adopted: To the Workmen and Citizens In General of Alle gheny County: Tellow Citizens During the past 25 years the professional politicians and partisan or gans of this country have been appealing to the sympathies, tho passions and the preju dices of our working people for the sole pur pose of fostering and maintaining one of the most villainous city and county rings that ever existed within the boundaries of our American Republic. Sweeping Charges or Corruption. Our community Is now cursed by the domi nation of a greedy horde of insatiablo office seekers, arrogant bosses and unprincipled political heelers. Corruption dominates every department of our countyandmunici pal government, and even touohes the er mine or not a few or our county Judges. The masses are demoralized, the voters are no longer consulted as to their choice in nominating and electing public officeis, and a seleet clique of autocratic bosses now dictates nomina tions for the various offices within the gift of the people. The great debt hanging over tne citizens or i"ittsunrg and Allegneny like a pall of death is only one of the results or misrule and corrupt political methods of unscrupulous boodlers To change these conditions is the patriotic duty of every citizen. With these ends in view we hereby pi esent this appeal for your assistance, and, with the hope of securing the co-operation and direction of all tho great labor, industrial, social and reform organizations existing within this county, we hereby submit to tne citizens the ob jects sought to be accomplished by our Alli ance, and call upon all who believe in secur ing the greatest good to tho greatest num ber to assist us: Objects Sought to Be Secured. First The encouragement and formation of vigilance committees in every election piecinct of Allegheny county. Second The organization of branches of this Alliance in every precinct, each branch to be represented by delegates to the Citi zens' Industrial Alliance at all its sessions. Thlid To provide a means whereby all workingmen, organized and unorganized, can be united together for the purposes of co-oneration. protection and support in all practical measures affecting their separate and combined interests. Fourth The repeal of all laws that do not bear equally upon capital and labor and the adoption of stringent legal measures pro viding for health and safety of all wage workers. The above form is but a hasty and Imper fect summary of aims and objects to be achieved uy our Alliance. We appeal to you to give prompt consideration to the impor tance ot ourgreat cause. Consider it well and deeply, and vou cannot fail to realize what an endless train of blessings to our commu nity the Alliance can place within easy innze of possibility. It w as decided to have a number of these appeals printed and sent to every working man in the county. The Executive Commit tee also reported that they were making preparations for a grand mass meeting, to be held in the Grand Opera House in the near future. The Alliance will meet again in two weeks. HIS EYES BLOWN OUT. Willie Tayne the Victim of Cannon Cracker In the Parade. Willie, the 7-year old son of Frank Payne, of 24 Forsythe street, Allegheny, met with an accident on Saturday night which will probably make him blind for life. A wheel bai row election bet was being paid by a Man chester Republican, and a number of young Democrats were helping celebrate the event with i ed fire, cannon crackers, skyrockets, etc. Just as the procession passed Mr. Payne's house some one lighted the fuse of a huge cannon cracker and throw it into the street. The fuse did not burn quickly, and the boy, supposing that the lose was out, ran out and picked up the cracker. Just as he did so the cracker went off, teaiing the little fellow's hand and face terribly and burning his eyes so badly that it is feared he will lose his sight en tirelv. His hair was badly singed and bis eyebrows burned entirely off. The little fellow bore the ordeal bravely and asked to be taken home. Dr. Reddick was called and attended to the injuries. The doctor said last night there was little hope of the boy ever being able to see again. FBEDICTS AN INDIAN WAE. Sergeant Lipplncott Says the Cheycnnes and Arrapahoes Are Mad.

He came here to attend the Masonic conclave that begins to-morrow.

HIS NAME AND CHURCH UNKNOWN. The Thrilling' Experience of Ovide Husin With thp Natives. SAW THE BODI EE1DT FOE THE FEAST B. E. Johnston, manager of Ovide Slusin, the violinist, was in Pittsburg yesterday arranging for a concert to be given here in January. He has just come back from a tour of Australia and New Zealand. The company landed in San Francisco abont a week ago. Mnsin went to Detroit and Mr. Johnston came to this city. He relates a. thrilling experience that Musin and he had in the Fiji Islands about three weeks since. She story concerns the fate of a white missionary, and may lead to his identification. Mr. Johnston was so badly frightened that he hadn't time or the opportunity to learn the name of the victim or the denomination to which he belonged. The blood-thirsty and vicious natives had killed him, boiled the body and were pre paring to eat it when two white men inter rupted the feast. Mr, Johnston tells the story as follows: "Musin had completed his tour of Aus tralia and New Zealand and had started for home in the Mallapoosa, one of the steamers used by Claus Spreckles in the South Sea sugar trade. We met with great suc cess and made lots of money in New Zea land, where the natives are magnificent specimens of physical development and rather intelligent. Appreciated High-Class Music "They are very fond of music, and all of Mucin's efforts were appreciated. On board the ship the violinist became very popular with the crew. He amused the sailors by giving concerts frequently for their benefit. After wo had been out about five days' sail from Auckland, we stopped at a coaling station on the Fiji Islands. Musin ex pressed a desire to see a little of the coun try, and Captain Haywood consented to wait six hours for him. I agreed to go, and together wo set out from tho shore, having no idea of the people or their mode of living. "We had gone into the Interior about two miles when suddenly we came upon a scene that curdled mv blood and made my hair stand on end. Musin was as badly scared as myself. We encountered a village, and the natives were gathered with the king to eat the bodv of a white man. The ruler was seated in the center and the cannibals were arranged around him. Tho victim was lying on the ground in plain view. The body had been boiled in a large pot and the tlio was still burning briskly under it. It was evident that they bad Just taken it out and were preparing to eat it. A Very Tougb-Looklng Monarch. "The King was a hideous looking object. His lace was marked with black streaks that ran from the nose across the cheeks to the ears. At the first glance I thought they were painted, but I soon saw that the brands had been seared into the flesh with a red-hot ii on. The cannibals were a cutious sight. The older people woie tig leaves or clouis aiound the hips, but tho younger ones, both male and letuale, wore naked. They were so busily engaged that they did not notice us for a time, and we were too badly frightened to move for a moment. Musin had a kodak and his first exclamation was: 'My God. 1 wonder if we can get back to the ship alive.' He inanauod to control his nerves long enough to take a snap-shot of the picture and to seoure a separate pho tograph ot the villainous-looking King. He now has them in pioof and is showing them to his Inonds. "In our exposed position, of course, we were quickly discoveied, and the ruler and his people stopped and staled at us like wild animals interrupted In their feast. In voluntarily wo took to our heels, and ran tor the vessel. I didn't stop to look back, and at every step I thought I heard the lapid breathing of the savages hot in pur suit. 1 never legged it so rapidly in my iife, and we landed on the shore ready to drop from exhaustion. Mrs. Musin Went Into Hysterics. "In the meantime Captain Haywood told Mrs. Musin a little about the island and the blooa-thlrsty character of the people. She became alarmed at the prolonged absence or her husband and went into hysterics. It took several days ot careful treatment be fore she got over the scare. "The captain did not seem surprised when he saw us returning to the vessel on the run. Ho suspected what we had seen and was not very much affected. Appa rently he had become accustomed to such scenes. He ndmitted that he was worried alter we had started, and he was on the point of sending out some of his men to search for us when he saw us coming back. He explained that solar as he knew the natives would not harm traders or travelers, but they had an inveterate hatred of missionaries who tried to convert them and turn their minds from error and darkness. He had often advised missionaries not to lana tnere. as they weie sure to be boiled and eaten like the poor man we bad Just seen. I can't remember the name of the station on the island, but I never want to have such a terrible experi ence again." WAS A BUSY SPEAK-EASY. The Police Scooped It and Captured a Num ber of Visitors.

Captured by Fleet Farmers Jumped Over a Stove to Escape From a Village Store Jailed on a Peculiar Commitment Charged With Several Offenses. A handsome, well-proportfoned young Frenchman was arrested out in MeCandless township Saturday n'ght on inspicion of murdering a woman and of having com mitted a conple of robberies which occurred there the previous night Yesterday he was placed in jail Justice of the Peace Kroeger, in making ont the commitment, failed to insert the prisoner's name, the charge on tho document being indefinitely stated as "suspicious character, which there has been a robbery, also said man has con fessed cf committing a murder." Warden McAleese refused to receive the commitment until properly filled out with the name of the prisoner.bnt when he heard of the trials the constable had undergone to get the Frenchman to jail he relented. The prisoner politely wrote his name, Coucheoy Constant, ou the commitment himself and was then locked up. Verging Upon Delirium Tremens. Constant is either a lunatio or is recover ing from an attack of delirium tremens, ac cording to the jail officials, who know all the symptoms well, and they think his con fession about having murdered a woman is the imagination of a disordered brain. All delirium tremens subjects imagine they have killed people. The fellow was noticed about MeCandless township several days ago, wandering aim lessly about. He was well dressed, cleanly in appearance and conductod himself with propriety, except that he was several times found sleeping under the corn shocks in Farmer Joseph Rltchey's fields. On Friday night two houses were burglarized in the township. Suspicion attached to no one in particular until Saturday night. There was n turkey raffle in one ot the village stores that even ing to which tho male population turned out strong. Pending the time the proprietor got through with his customers the men sat around the stove in the rear of the storo telling stories and gossiping. Constant was there.sittlng back in the corner. Hecouldn't talk a word or .nciian, and tne conversation did not Interest him.but the room was warm and he evidently made up bis mind to stand it as long as possible. Jumped Over the Stove and Fled. Suddenly his patience seemed to leave him. He stood np, glared wildly at those around him and shuffled to get out. The farmers wero packed around so close he couldn't get out except byjumplng over the stove. It was a big J urap, but the French man was equal to it. He made the leap and had reached the door before the faimers realized what had happened. With a cry of "Vivo la Francaisel" he dashed down the road into the darkness. Without knowing why tho farmers fol lowed and captuted him a mile or more away. Some real or fancied evidence was brought forth to show that he was the rob ber. Constant was frightened. A French man to whom he talked said Constant had confessed to killing a woman. No details were given, but that was enough. The farm ers were satisfied they had a desperate character. Two of them were placed on watch over him and kept him all night in a room in the constable's house and yester day he was brought to Jail. A plate glass cutter's tools were .found in his pockets and it is believed at the jail that, Constant came from either Creighton or Ford City. The commitment against him is indefinite and unless a new one is pro duced the prisoner will be released in a day or two. Raided a Speak-Easy.

Some Irregular Occurrences for Beligious Gatherings. B0TSPUT0TJT FOE SINGING BOOMVDE-AT Lafayette Hall was a barracks yesterday and the Salvation Army was in command. Major Halz, Ensign Heald, Captain "White and a score of lower officers and privates were on guard. In ome ways the army discipline was lived up to, but in othsrs a few conrt martials would have been a benefit The Pittsburg division of General Booth's great army started its jollification yester day afternoon with a street parade. The column was finally drawn np in front of the barracks and marched in. Two red-shirted sentries took positions at the Wood street entrance. The pass word there was a hand shake or a hearty "God bleu you." Those who thought they were safe within the guard lines were mistaken. A double row of pickets was posted yesterday. At the second landing a private stood, an archistic was his attire, bnt appealing his look. He was armed with a tambourine, and the countersign for his post was a sil ver offering. For a time the visitor was safe and allowed to take a seat. A flaming bulletin on the outside of the building told the exercises of the day. The drawing card was the presence of the "ex-jail birds," as the poster told it The Barracks Filled "With Music The pit and first gallery of the barracks were well filled, when Ensign Heald stepped to the front of the stage and started an old army song. The other officers and privates helped him along while the au dience joined in. The big building rang with the muslo of half a thousand voices, while the tambourine, horn and drum added strength to the melody. After a few of these skirmishes, stronger battle lines wero drawn. Ensign Heald opened fire, and the first topic he touched on was the arrest of the Army last Sunday nigni uy tne rmtauig ponce. "X am giau were arrestee.," saiu. ne. 'for we wore working for our God. Tho police didn't mean to be unkind, I think. They did not know, but in the future they will be more considerate. We were haonv when con fined in prison cells, and if it need be we would go to jail again. The Salvation Army is a great principle and I am glad I belong to the nilncinle. Aren't vou brother?" he said pointing to a private at the end of the stage. The End Plays His Part. "I am, I am," said the end man. "Ours is a glorious army," he continued. Turning to his comrades he said. "Here are numerous men and women who did not know what religion was until they enlisted. They did everything that was bad, but now they are true and noble. They pay their grocery bills and rent every month." Switching from this phase or religion the ensign grew reminiscent. He comes from Omaha.and before he Joined the Army was a real estate man. Kven the profits of Nebraska land deals wonld not let him resist the cry or Booth's troopers, so he enlisted, lor life he says. He ami his squad havo fur nished Omaha with moral protection for a number or years, and one of the stories he tells is about "Omaha Jim." It took months of earnest work beiore they got this son of Nebraska to wear the red garments of the organization. A gentle, pleading woman finally won him into the ranks. "Before 'Jim enlisted," said Ensign Heald, "he was a great fellow to go out with the boys and get drunk. He was a business man, but his love for the Army wns above all else, and he alwa swore the uniform of a private. 'Jim' often stops on the street and shouts 'Halleluiah. Hailelulahl' with the same fervor he used to cheer when the Democratic party was victorious." Grovel's Praises Are Sung. Hardly had these words been uttered when a crowd or boys started "Grover, Grover, four years more of dear old Gro ver." This caused quite an excitement and order was restored with considerable diffi culty. Captain White for a few moments dwelt on the pleasures be bad derived from the ride in the patrol wagon last Sunday night. He was willing to be a martyr again. A man who had the appearance of having been n drummer before ne became a private, told his experience and sang a song. In closing he changed a passage- of scripture to maKe it nt tne case or tne soldiers when they were arrested. This is it: "Blessed are tho prosecuted, for their's Is the king dom of heaven." "We have with us a good old German soldier." snld Ensign Heald. "He will talk next." The old fellow was so excited by hU be ing a member of the Army that lie acted very much lice a comedian, lie actually danced a clog, while he shouted "Hallelujah! Halle lujah!" Ensign Heald had to stop him. "People go crazy over religion sometimes, Just as they are doing over the election of Cleveland now," said he. "I think we got till German from the Methodists." A lady private, whose work it is to sell War Crj, was greatly worried over the drunkenness she saw on the stieets Satur Largest and Leading Jewelry and Art Stores. ER & CUT GLASS.

Her wish was that the people would take as much interest in religion aa they did in Democracy.only that they would do it tn another way. 1 The meoting last night) was similar to that in the afternoon. The only thing irregular was the interference of I some voung hood lums, who sang "Ta-rara-ra Boom-de-ay" while the army was singing religious songs. They were finally thrown out of the bar racks. WATCH FOR METEORS. Shower of Stars "W1H i Likely Fall To- Nlght From the Constellation Leo How One Community Failed to See the Last Display. Prof. Heeler, of the Observatory, said yes terday that he had not noticed any display of meteors, but there might be a display on Monday night They generally fall from tho 12th to the Kth, but this being leap year it might be a day or two later. The shooting ttars are called Leonidcs, because they ap pear to come from the constellation of Leo, which, in traveling in its orbit around the sun, crosses the earth's path every 33 years, when in this conjunction the meteors be come visible from the earth, although they very seldom reach It, being so small that the friction burns them up. The last November shower occurred in 1866. A good story is told in connection with it. The display was expected on the night of November 12, and the watchman at tho SHgo Iron Works on the Soutbsldo was notified to ring the mill bell when the stars commenced falling to awaken the people so they could witness the phenomenon. It did not occur on that night, however, but the following night. The watchman failed to ring the bell, and when asked for an expla nation said: "Oh, Is that why yon wanted the neighborhood wakened up?" "Meteors have alsogotten into the courts," said the processor. "Out In Iowa an aereollte fell from the sky and was Imbedded in the earth three feet. A man who saw it fall dug it up and the owner or the property sued the finder. The lower conrt found In favor of the owner or the ground and the Supreme Court affirmed the verdict. Prof. Langley jocosely mentions the circumstance in his new book that meteors flying wildly about and landing promiscuously conld not be classed as wild game and therefore not the property of the finder."
