T. V. i I i i ROUG HERS AND CATCHERS IN SECRET SESSION. A Committee Appointed to Formulate a Plan of Campaign What Secretary Martin Says of the Move. Other Industrial News.

A meeting of the roughers and catchers was held in Imperial hall yesterday afternoon. About men were present. The call had been issued by a South Side, mill man. A meeting was held on Sunday. December 15 in Germsnia Hall.

South Side, but all the notices had not been circulated and the attendance being small, it was decided to postpone it for a week. The object of the meetings is to obtain an advance of wages at the end of the scale year. The roughers and catchers are members of the Amalgamated Association. It is through this organization that they musf obtain the increase. The meeting yesterday was secret.

As near as could be learned a committee composed of two men from each mill was appointed to formulate a plan of campaign and draw up an appeal to lay before the sul-lodges, of which the members present are members, asking for their aid iu ob- taining the desired advance. The roughers and catchers are now paid by the roller of the mill in which they work. Each rougher and catcher is paid one-eighth of what the mill makes, 'lhe heaters receive one-fourth and the rollers the remaining half. The wages depend uku tlio tonnage output of the mill. The roughers and catchers claim that their work is as hard anil requires as much skill as the heaters.

They claim that the wages should lie equal, each to receive one-fourlli of the amount made by the mill. The roughers ami catchers endeavored to have the changt- in wages and mode of payment effected at the general scs- mou ot the Amalgamated Assocation, bur as their grievance was not brought le- fore that body legally the convention re- to act. The only way by which the men can have the association consider the case is to huve their griev-I a nee inserted in the program of the national bd e. 'I he quest ion must first be adopted in a su'o-hrtige and then placed on the program Jor consideration. This method was discusMd at yesterday's meet- ing.

The committee was in-t tin ted to proceed in accordance the le'al steps neces-ary. The members" great est work will be to decide what amount i an in- crease shall he demanded. It was not de- cid. upon at, yesteiday'-t meeting. Secretary Ma, -tin of lhe Amalgamated Avm i.iunti yesterday.

He Clung to the Greased Cable After It Had Struck the Power House Bend Some Passengers Hurt and All Frightened. One of the main requirements of a grip-man's calling is to know when to let go. The grip or trolly has a great fondness for the greased cable, and, aided by the force of gravity, it sometimes clings a moment too long. A fatal moment it is, often, for the grip. About 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon car No.

218 on the Citizens' Traction Company's line, lifted its brown ldy in air like a frightened horse, a moment later coining down wit a crash of windows and creak of breaking steel. Passengers were frightened into doing very queer tilings, such as running their fists through windows and cutting their hands and arms with the broken glass. All the trouble was caused by the failure of Gripman Thompson to let go at the proper moment. The trouble occurred at the Thirty-third street power house. At this point there are the usual vaults under the tracks, and here the down-town cable ends, taking a sudden turn on rollers into the power house, where the big wheels receive it and keep it moving.

One of the things the gripman lias to learn is to lift, or to release. as it is termed, his grip from the cable at just the right moment. He must hold on as long as possible, for the car has to be propelled by its own momentum across the vault to the other cable section. On the up grade, this is difficult, and the only salvation is to cling to the cable as long as possible. On the other hand.

the tnomeut the grip reaches the curve in the cable there is going to be trouble. Yesterday afternoon Gripman Thompson did not pull the lever quite "soon enough. The car was going at full tilt, and the grip was wedged in lietwcen the rollers and the right sliding rod, or slot rod. There was a stop as Midden as though the car had run against a brick building. The car rose into the air and came down with a cra.

The front trucks fell six inches to the right of the track, drawn that way by the contrary cable beneath. The grip and the cable had an awful conflict together fr a few moments, and the-i the heavv steel plate that connects the trolly with the levers snapped and the car was liberated. i At the first jump and sudden stop of the car the passengers were piled upon ea- other, and immediately a panic ensued, One big began braking windows with Ids fisfs. and the sight of the blood i made the ladies fe like tain ins. ness Manager Dawson of the Hijo.i theaier was on the car with, bis wife.

de23-2t i An Accident at the Charters Dedication Yes tei'-Jav That Caused a Panic. LOSS OF LIFE WAS PROBABLY AVERTED By the Prompt Action of Two Cool Headed Ushers. FATHER ELEGANT NEW Clil'KCH. Yestenlay rnoruin-j witnessed the dedication of two Catholic churches, St Francis de of Chart iers and St. James's of Wilkinshurj' At the latter nhiee the dedication services passed oil quietly, but at Chartiers there was a panic, which wijrht have resulted in loss of life but for the coolpess and presence of mind of Alderman McNeirney of the Eighteenth ward and Kichard Mogarrall, the Eleventh street merchant, who by a mighty effort closed the doors and blocked the exits.

The frantic jienple were then gradually quieted down and the services passed oil without further interruption. What caused the panic was the sinking of the floor, which fell four inches. St. Francis de Sales church is a two-story frame structure, with a seating capacity of over 1000 in the church proper. The church occupies the second floor, while the first story is to be used for parochial school purposes.

A very large crowd came to witness the dedicatory ceremonies yesterday, audit is estimated there were at leas-t 1400 persons in the building. Several hundred were turned away, not being able to secure even standing room. lit. Rev. Bishop Phelan performed the dedication ceremony, and was assisted by a number of priests from the city.

Rev. Father James A. celebrated high mass. Special musio was rendered by the choir, and the services were quite impressive. The altar was fairly ablaze with lights, and with the splendid vestments of the officiating priests the scene was quite interesting.

The services were followed devoutly by the big audience that was crowded in the church. AN" OMINOUS CRASH. When the services were nearly over, and iust as Rev. Father F. Tobin was in the act of delivering the sermon to the congregation, who were waiting in silence to hear his words, a loud.

srack was heard over on the right. It was followed by at.other, then another, and the floor eomuienrert to sink. It only went down three or four inches, however, but a wild scramble ensued, and tlni audience became a struggling mass of humanity. All turned to the doors leading down stairs. "Women screamed and fainted, i idding to the confusion.

Fur a time a panic at i ended with inevitable. Some loss of life seemed I six or seven ushers were stamimg in rut rear part of the church when the came. Above the struggling men ud women they could see Father Tobin standing iu the puipit and begging the people to be seated. Alderman Melseir-nev and Richard Mogarrall, who were with the ushers, forced the doors shut by a mighty ed'ort and shouted to the crowd to Keep quiet. feeing tue exits blockadedjand hearing the ushers declaro there was no danger, the frightened worshipers filially returned to their seats.

After quiet had been restored Father Tobin explained to them that one of the pillars i at the church bad sunk, but had gone as far as it could and that the damage was all over. The services were concluded without further interruption. CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. An iuvesiigntimi of the cause of the sunken tioor showed thitt the stone base under one of the iron pillars had been crushed by the weight of the people. The stone had separated, allowing the pillar to sink to the foundation underneath.

Most of the plaster on the walls and ceiling in the school rooms cracked and fell though no other damage was done. Several ladies who had fainted had to be carried out of the church. Bishop Phelan complimented Alderman McNeirney and Mr. Mogarrall on their prompt action and great presence of mind, as many lives might have been 'crushed out on the stairway but for the closing of the doors A nuiabtr of societies participated in the ceiinouies, having previously held a onrade, which was formed as follows: First division, first battalion Hibernian Rifles, Ma jor John Coyne: Ancient Order of Hibernians, Thomas J. McCosker, marshal.

Second division, Knights of St George, George Kuukel commander. Third division, members of the congregation, Daniel Henley commander. Fourth division, members of M. Ti. J.

W. Sullivan commander. Branch No. 20, Knights of St. George, acted as special es-eort to Bishop Phelan.

William Lamb was gra nd mar dial and Richard Mogarrall his chief of statf. There were quire a number of aids. A special train on the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie that left at 9 A. M. carried a large number from the city, besides the societies.

Many of the houses in Chartiers were decorated in honor of the occasion with American flags. FATKEK LAMCIXG'S CUTRIH. the Handsome Xew Eniltlingat Wilkinsburg Dedicated to Worship Yesterday. Yesterday was quite an era in he history of the Catholic congregation of Wilkinsburg. Not only-lid it witness the dedication of their hand-jome new church, but it was also the anniversary of the destruction by fire of their former house of worship.

It is still fresh in the minds of the public how, on the night of the Sunday befora Christmas, flames broke out in the pretty church, and in a few hours had reduced it io a pile of smoking ashes. Out of the ruins Rev. Father A. A. Lambing, the pastor, has built a church which is certainly as finely and elegantly finished as any in the diocese.

It is furnished with all the latest improvements. At the dedicatory services yesterday there was quite a large attendance, although there was no parade of societies. The ceremonies began at A. and the dedication was performed by Very Rev. S.

Wall, P. vicar general of the diocese. About a dozen from the city were present. After the church had been blessed a solemn "high mass was celebrated. Very Rev.

Joseph Strub, provincial of the Order of the 1 loly Ghost, was celebrant, with Rev. E. M. McKeever of Latrobe, deacon, and Rev. Father Celestine of the monastery, South Side, sub-rieflcrn.

Rev. M. A. Lambing of Scottdale was master of ceremonies. Mozart's Twelfth mass was sung by the choir in pleasing style.

Rev. V. Neeson, pastor of St. John's church, of Thirty-second street, preached the sermon, which was eloquent and interesting. Father Neeson complimented he congregation on having sucii a beautiful church, and for having erected it in such a bhort time.

He then spoke of the fact that sacrifices had always been offered to God, and from the liegiumng lie had selected places in which to be worshipped. At first the Israelites had particular places in hich to offer sacrifice to the Almighty. The Catholic church, however, is not restricted to one place, but the sacrifice of the mass is offered up in places. Father Neeson then dwelt on the advantages which the Christian religion possessed over all others. St.

James's church is a 2-story brick Structure, oiisOb' feet. It is surmounted by vet. thiuu'h it will on take a short time to make it so. If, is lighted throughout with incandescent electric lights, and is iurnbhed with steam heaters tint seem to keep it very comfortable in wintry weather. The church cost Inside, the church proper is elegantly finished, and perhaps can boast of furnish-ments as substantia! and rich as any other around Pittsburgh.

Everything is finished in antique oak. The abar is of the same material and is elegantly carved. It is quite handsome and yesterday, during the ceremonies, was brilii nt with lighted waxen tapers. In front of the altar hangs a snlendid sanctuary lamp, in which, as in all churches, a light is constantly burning. The sanctuary is richly carpeted.

All the pews, the communion rail, the window frames and the splendid are of antique oik and the etieci is cn.irmir.gly harmonious. iho ceiling, which is over Si feet high, is in the shaiJtt of an elliptic arch and makes the acoustic properties of the church all that could be doired. Cathedral glass is used in the windows. At either side of the altar will be two beautiful stained-glass windows, the one on the left representing St. James, patron of the church, and that on the right St.

Andrew, the patron of the pastor. Above the altar will be round window lif stained glass. These are not here yet. The stations of the cross are painted in oil and framed in antique oak. They cost f-40.
