Determined Opposition to the Wholesale Employment of Hardened Criminal One of the "Horny Handed" States Ilia Objections to tbe Dangerous Experint -nt.

"Do you see that building?" said a horny-handed denizen of Woods Hun, last even point inn: to the old structure. In which Phillip's oilcloth factory was formerly located. It is a lartre three-story buildintr, and workmen were busily engaged in repairing the foundation, and changing the interior. "That building," the speaker continued, "will be the crowning disgrace of Allegheny City. It is to become the harboring place of thieves, robhers, murderers, forgers and all kind ot crininata." "How so '111 tell you in a few wmls.

The State has abolished the convict contract system, and on the 31st int. the contracts of a number firms with the Kiverside Penitentiary, for the manufacture of certain art if tea by the convict? will expire. The firms holding these contracts have secured the Phillips building, and are fitting it up, so that tliev can move their machinery into it after January 1. Thi'ii they will employ all the convicts accustomed to the wirk jut as fat as ihey nerve out their term. Already three convicU have been hired to work in the building.

"You can easily see what this mean to Woods Kiin. Kvery man who comes nut of the IVn can walk a distance of bss than three and secure employment. That they will do so is a foregone conclusion, because they know they will have a hard time getting work elsewhere. Of course arrangements will be wade for feeding them, as noiie of the people here would take them into their "If the intention was to employ only a few convicts hi use sentenced for petty crimes, who nurc as conesi uesire 10 reiorm ana tne rt'Ht of the rmolovv4 to Ka taken from Lhn rmn of our laboriDg it would not be so bad. it would nave a irenncial eliect on the ex-convicts to be broujfht into contact with honest workintcmen.

but that Is not the plan of thee They are aware of the disadvantages under which the ex-convicts are placed, and know that they will work tor wages than anv other class of men from mere uecesity. Is It not reasonable to suppose that when these convicts get together they win natch up alt sorts 01 schemes wrong-doing? Our stores are liable to be burg-lariredatany time; onr wives and daughter would scarcely be on the streets aft-r niuht, and our children are liable to all kind of temptations. Moreover, the kind of mei no win nna employment there. are hardly likely to conhne their operation to Woods Run. They will commit crimes whenever opportunity otters in all parts of the two cities, and the workshop wouU be their rendezvous.

The ex-convict would be a difficult and dangerous cam; for the police to manatee. Knowing from experience what was in store for them if arrested they would tiicht to the death rather thau taken, and would tand by ea-h other. "i do not know how it could be accomplished, butlthe scheme to emnlov hardened criminals almost tn the center of a should be rev en ted at all haxard. The residents of oods Kun will oppose it and will appeal to the taw to prevent a colony ot outlaws settling in theirmidst."

He will leave for his home this Mr. Bnchen confesses that scales of almon half a century's growth were removed from his optics by a few days' visit to the United States. "I am surprised," he said to a Post reporter, -at the magnitude of your Industries, and was lost in amazement at the new fuel which seems so bountifully provided by nature. Judging from present Indications, Pittsburgh is fcertainly destined to become the manufacturing city of the world.

In the glag Industry the good effect of gas for fuel are especial! noticeable. There Is no reason why the glass "products of the Lotted States should not eseel those of any other country. With skilled workmen and a fuel absolutely free from dirt, the very unest grades of glass must in the future be made in America. The improved finality of products is more a consideration than the cheapness of the fuel." Mr. Kuchen is a free trader of pronounced type.

He advanced the opinion that this country had crept long enough, and should now be able to stand alone. Hy her strong protective policy, he says. Knglih products have been kept out of the American market, but England at the same time has had a monopoly of trade with all other nations of the world. THK MINEBS' CONVENTION. The K.

of river miners met in coo-ventton at Monongahela l-fty yesterday. There were forty-nine delegates present representing forty-four pits. Blaster Workman Newman in calling the convention to order explained its object. Ue said the principal business would be to decide whether the operators' terms should be accepted or the strike continued for three cents. A rumor was in circulation that Joseph Walton would pay three cents after December 1.

A letter was read to the convention from Mr. Walton stating that this was not true. After the routine business was disposed of I'refident Newman called for the reports of delegates. Contrary to general custom most of thciu came instructed. They were pretty evenly divided on the price question.

The representative from O'Neill pits, which are among the largest on the river, reported his constituents were In favor of accepting Scents. This report was otfset by the action of the miners employed by Homer St Roberts and Joseph Walton. They still demand three cents. As the diflerent reports were submitted It became evident there han been a change of heart among some of the most enthusiastic strikers. The price question was finally referred to the Executive Committee, who decided to recall (xrand Master Workman Powderly at once.

Pending his arrival no definite action will tie taken. A number of strikers in the Second and Third pools have gone to work. BKIUHT UHHtS MEET. Vacle Jaass Cessna asid Others la Court Sate. Yesterday in the United States Circuit Court, arguments were made upon the application of John C.

The yard lies along the Allegheny Valley Railroad, and It was a large shed ailed with lathes and shingles that was burned. At first ft was supposed the hre was caused by a spark from a passing engine, but Mr. Oreen, the manager, claims the place was set on hre, because the flames came from underneath the lumber, and everything was se damp that a spark would have had no eSect. The loss is fully oovered by insurance in foreign and home companies.
