CONCERT DIVERTS THE ATTENTION OF PI.CM CREEK CAMPERS IN THE EVENING. WILL MARCH TO-MORROW. An Aggressive Campaign Will Inaugurated at Moth Camp. He SUPPLIES ARE STILL COMING IN. Yesterday was quiet in the strikers' camps at Turtle Creek and Plum Creek.

Inhabitants of the latter stole an early morning inarch on the deputies, and this was a sufficient cause for an all-day jubilee. At Camp Isolation it was announced that through effective missionary wvrk a number of the Plum Creek miners had been induced to law down their tools. The strikers who have taken the hill route to Center and the tipple houses, have effectually argued with the men, and it is claimed that more gaps in the DeArmit ranks will be made during the coining week. The men are more hopeful over the situation as it stood last night than at any time within the past two weeks. The encounter with the deputies at Center Friday evening strengthened the impression that the latter had no intention of making arrests.

Their potency as a restraining Influence has been greatly weakened each time their ranks have been broken through. A concert was held last night at Camp Isolation. Some of the campers donned fantastic costumes, and rendered a program of musical and other selections. The lUlllngham brother sang. There will be no marches this morning at any of the camps, the men adhering to the visual Sunday rule or rest and recreation.

Monday morning, however, an aggressive policy will be inaugurated. Brass band inarches and a bold demonstration along the tipple roads after daylight will be the features of the day. Further supplies have been received at the camps. Donations will be made by the employes at early this week. Further supplies are also promised by the Texas farmers.

"As long as there is a crust of bread or a dollar in the valley," said S. W. Fresh, of Wilmerding. last night, "the half of it is theirs." A third demonstration ly the New Texas farmers Is being planned for early this week. It expected that the grangers will come from as far east as Westmoreland courty.

and that every township in Allegheny will be represented. A number of deputies are preparinR to resign their positions. They say they are disgusted with life in the country under the present conditions. Some of those stationed about Center have been putting in the time cuttitm IMPORTER FINE DIAMONDS, 339 FIFTH PITTSBURG, PA. WHILE YOU WAIT.

Call PROFITS MADE IX WEST VIRGINIA. Local coal operators read with much interest the statement of M. D. Ratchford, national president of the -United Mine Workers, as published in "The Post" of yesterday. They take exceptions to many of the assertions made, and last night their press committee issued the following: "Mr.

Ratchford's promised proclamation has been issued and some of the statements made by him call for answer from the coal operators, whom he misrepresents. Mr. Ratchford states that the operators never asked for a conference but declared a determination to build stockades, and to employ gatling guns' and Pinkerton detectives. This is false, and Mr. Ratchford knows it.

He says this "is the action of men who fear discussion of tha question at If so, why did Mr. Ratchford decline to accept any one of the four propositions made by the operators at the Monongahela house meeting, all of which have been published as taken from the minutes of the meeting and approved by W. C. Pearce, national secretary of United Mine Workers, and secretary of the meeting. ''Will any rational person undertake say that men could submit a fairer proposition to adjust a controversy? Did -not Mr.

Ratchford himself fear to submit to an impartial board of arbitrators? What use to submit differences to arbitrators when one of the parties demand, as a condition of arbitration, that the other surrender all that was demanded in the iirst place. "Mr. Ratchford says the miners must have a 'living rate of wages. What does he mt-an by the term 'living wages Does he not know that any industrious miner in the Pittsburg district dally earned, under a 54 -cent rate, a higher wage than is paid to a majority of the mechanics in the mills and factories in Pittsburg, and that the mine laborers received a higher wage per day than is paid for common labor by any railroad or manufacturing company Kast of the Rocky mountains? "Mr. Ratchford further asserts that the operators did not invite him to a conference.

This is simply untrue. Patrick Dolan. a local officer of the miners' organization, was empowered by W. P. Rend.

F. M. Osborne and George Schlue-derberg to arrange with his official associates for a conference. Mr. Ratchford chose to conduct the correspondence which followed, throug- Mr.

Dolan. and in which he is on record as having refused to confer on any other basis than an interstate meeting. Mr. Ratchford knows, if he knows anything about the coal industry, that the wage rate in the Pittsburg district is the basis upon which the rate is determined in all Other states; he knows, also, that the interests of the 1 msburg operators are distinct, and are antagonized by the producers of all other districts; that the operators of all other states would, in an interstate agreement, work unitedly to the Injury of the Pittsburg operators, as well as of the miners whom they employ. He admits that what the Pittsburg operators have maintained from the first, namely, that a settlement of the stride in the Pittsburg district would bring about a settlement in all other sections on a basis of the rate agreed upon for the Pittsburg district." "The fact is.

Mr. Ratchford is an Ohio man; he was for three years president of the Ohio miners' organization; he is interested in the welfare of the miners of that state, ignoring the rightful claims of those in the Pittsburg district. Heing supported by the Ohio operators, who desire to have the lake tonnage of Pennsylvania reduced so that they can double it later, Mr. Ratchford places himself in the position of being the willing or the Ignorant tool of the Ohio operators. He.

has told the Pittsburg operators rn4 than once that they, enjoyed too part of the lake business; amiV would not be permitted diverting as a step In the energy and from them that Jjrhed. he has repeatedly enterprise haynave the miners of Ohio congenaTT- ll.ooy.ooo tons of coal each r.

"Weet Virginia producers get their col mined for less than 25 cents a ton; Ohio operators for 9 cents a ton less than the Pittsburg operators pay, and those of Indiana and Illinois have rates correspondingly low In order uat they may have the better of tha Pittsburg competitors, while the rail freights exacted from the Pennsylvania producers place them at a disadvantage for transportation as well as for the digging of their coal.

Organization to Re Formed Will Meet Annually. That MONSTER CROW DS ARE EXPECTED If the many strangers ho go to McDonald the coming week do not get a welcome by the 7,000 energetic people who live there, it will be because there will be no room to take care of the crowds. It will be a gala week, and will mark an epoch in the history of tht busy borough. For busy it has been the last two weeks, making the necessary-preparations for the first reunion of the oil men, and the grand street "fair. A representative of "The Post" spent a portion of yesterday at McDonald.

The finishing touches for the grand event were being put on, and everybody seemed to be in high glee and anticipation over the event. It will be a big affair. It will not be one that will benefit McDonald alone, but Pittsburg will come in for its share of blessing. Oil men from the Kast, South, Xorth and West will be there. They as a rule drop Into Pittsburg and make this their headquarters.

Then there are many Pittsburgers who will go out and swell the crowd. It is only 18 miles from the metropolis of Western Pennsylvania, and there will be special trains for the accommodation of the multitude. There will be novelties about tha event that will make it the more enjoyable. Its primary object is to brins the oil men closer together and form a permanent organization, whose purpose is to hold annual reunions. It will embrace not only the producers, but men who have been and are in the ranks of the workingmen.

They are all eligible and are asked to get together and have a good time, renew old friendships, live the early days of oil's oildom over, and withal make themselves feel that this is a pretty good world, after all. Bnchliett "Was the Originator. About six weeks ago the scheme was suggested by C. R. Buchhett.

In a short time a meeting was held at the oflM-e of Burgess J. C. Rogers, and it was then and there resolved to hold the first reunion of oil men, and as an additional feature hold a grand free street fair. From that time work va pushed with energy and the dreams of the projectors will be realized this week. To bring the affair to a successful Issue required money and work.

Tht money was soon raised and the idle striking "miners in that section did the work. A race track one-third of a mile long was constructed and stands ana booths erected on a plot of ground lit the' western part of the town. In or-der that the work would be-well distributed a commissary was established for the miners. After a day's work had been done the miner was given a ticket which entitled him to $1.50 worth of groceries. In this way several thousand dollars' worth of groceries and provisions were equitably distributed among worthy, industrious miners.

the expenses of the affair have been paid the surplus will be turned over to the fund of the striking miners. The event has been well advertised in all the oil sections of the country. Pittsburg is considered the central indnt between the Northeast ami tvuthwejt fields. The committee has word that the representations frj-aVkers- Itrwne, liunri, Oil burg.

It was In the fall of 1891. In one day there were S6.000 barrels of oil produced and enough llowed down Robb creek to keep skiffs afloat. It also has two wells that have been world beaters. The Mc-Vey No. 1 and the Matthews No.

1 have a record of producing more oil than any two wrells in the country. It w-as in 1SD1 that oil was discovered in McDonald, and it has been recognized as an oil center ever since. Man) fortunes have been made and lost there, and the exciting days of 1891 and '92 furnish fertile material for swapping interesting stories the coming week. The great event will begin Wednesday morning and close Friday night. According to the committee of arrangements it will be a dream of pleasantries, excitement and amusement.

There are more attractions than a county fair can produce. The men. women and children of McDonald are interested, and everyone is going to put his or her shoulder to the wheel to make it a success. It will be free. On one t-ide of the race track there is a natural auditorium.

SniitU Decline to Enter Suit, lnt Recovers Her Diamonds. Fannie E. Smith, of 49 Montgomery avenue, Allegheny, consented to an interview last evening in regard to her troubles with Count de Gloria. "As a matter of fact," she said, "I met the count, and he was a charming musician. He promised that he would instruct not only me but others in the art of piano playing.

One day he came to me and said that he was desperate; that he had experienced reverses, and that if could secure the loan of the little rings I had upon my ringer, he would be relieved. He invariably announcea me fact that he was married, and it was purely through sympathy that I succored him." Further than this Miss Smith declined to enter into an explanation. She said last pvenlncr that since the Count de Gloria had shown that he had friends who were Influential enough to prove that he was really what he claimed to be, the local authorities have no desire to become parties to the suit. The diamonds were returned to Miss Smith, and she will not push the case. KILLED BY ELECTRICITY.

Workman at tUe Edear Thomson 31111s Becomes Entangled In a Live Wire. John Duehon, 30 years old, was fatally shocked at the ladle house of the Edgar Thomson steel works, Braddock, yester day. He was repairing a ladle when an arc light fe'll. It struck him on the head and Inflicted a slight bruise. Duchon became entangled in the wires.

When extricated he was dead. John Taraszich and Mike Kelly, who went to Duchon's rescue, were also shocked. The wire fell across Kelly's shoulder, and it was thought he, too, was killed. After two hours' work, however, he became conscious. Taraszich was slightlv burned.

Duchon lived with his mother and sister at 1217 Washington avenue, Braddock. He has a wife SEWS FOR ART LOVERS. A I'eriuanf nt Home Here for Local and Foreign Talent. Pittsburg artists and lovers of art will no doubt be delighted to hear that this city is to have an Institution such as only three cities In the United States (New York. Boston and Philadelphia) can boast of.

The Pittsburg art association Is an enterprise which will give a permanent home to local and foreign talent and genius. The whole building at 006 Wood street (Kleber's old music store) has been leased, and is at present being turned into art galleries. The association will bring here collections of the highest standard. The galleries will not be devoted to paintings only, but to all other branches of art. Arrangements have been made to exhibit next fail several collections of paintings, objects of ceramic, textile art, both antique and modern, coming from Lurope and the Orient.

S. E. Neu-mark. the well-known connoisseur and art auctioneer, will be manager of the association. In the interest of this city as an art center, it Is to be hoped that this new Institution will find due appreciation of the art loving people.

They will not have to go to New York in search of rln paintings or other works of art any more; they will find right here the choicest and best the new and old world produce. Everything exhibited and sold will be guaranteed to oe just as represented, so that buyers need not havi any hesitation or doubt as to the genuineness of the works of art which will be found under the auspices of the Pittsburg art association. XEAKI i WMI'LLTIOS. The er Allegheny Water Works Will Soon Be Put In lie. The Montrose water works of Allegheny are rapidly approaching completion, but the director of the department of public works has not yet announced the time for the formal opening.

The plant will be one of the largest in the country, and it is expected that it will supply the Northside with pure water for many years to come. An investigation of the water from the Allegheny river near the influent pipe has recently been made by the superintendent of the bacteriological department, and he announced yesterday that the plant will be one of the best In the country, and that, aside from filtered water, there could not be purer water obtained from any river so near great cities. He thought that the percentage of Impurities had been reduced to a minimum, and that the stage of water would make little difference so far as the city is concerned.

ex-Postmaster James S. McKean and Congressman William A.

Collector Fruit thinks it probable that the government will authorize the expenditure of for the proposed im- provement. He further advised that the building be remodeled in many respects, arid redecorated throughout.

COXSTABLB CHRIS KERSTESJS DEPUTIES STRCCK YESTERDAY FOR HIGHER PAY'. i OTHERS TO BE SECURED. The Parrtas of SUbtown Will Be Fallowed by More Raids. ASNIE CARTER IS ARRESTED. The crusade at the Unity negro camp received a sudden setback yesterday.

The good work has been temporarily sus- ended, and all because of a dispute over and cents. When Constable Christopher Kersten started on his sin-destroy- iag mission, the people of Plum township -rubbed their hands In satisfaction, and applauded Kersten and his deputies for their praiseworthy efforts. But the deputies have struck. They ac-" companied their chief with shouldered rifles until yesterday afternoon, when an interview with the railroad contractors put a sudden stop 'to the raids. Tester- day was supposed to be pay-day with Kersten's helpers.

They visited the office of Farrel Hegemen, who have charge of the construction work, to get their money. These contractors had bargained for the services of the three men. They were told, however, that they would get but 1 73 a day for their work. Then the trio raised strenuous objec-tions. Hunting a desperate man like Torn Cass and assisting in the burning of a "village was worth more to them than the paltry amount offered.

Xo fixed sum had been agreed upon for their services. but the impression was out that they were to get at least $3 per day. But the contractors could not see it that way. They even intimated that if the men did not choose to accept $1 75 there were others in the township willing and ready to do so. Then the deputies "struck" for more salary, and so the crusade is at a standstill.

Constable Kersten will probably continue the purging of Unity to-morrow, with new deputies. The men who have been helping him are not regularly sworn constables, but. as Kersten expressed it. sent along to see that he got fnto no trouble." Kersten Is much per- turbed because of the newspaper reports that he had sworn the men in. He says he will "get into a mess" with the courts if that fact becomes known.

-The charred embers of Slabtown till -smoldered and smoked yesterday. A few remaining homeless inhabitants sat around on the hillside and idly speculated the probabilities of the constable burning the entire camp. One even sug-. gested that it would be a good idea for them to put a torch to the thing. It is ssafe to say that no' event in the past" six months has created so much diversion and enjoyment for the campers, including the Slabtown contingent, as the destruction of the latter suburb.

-The only man who tetXs sore is the owner of the sawmill, who witnessed with keen anguish the destruction of so mui goci -iumber. Sheriff Lowry has upheld Constable JCersten In his prompt burning of Slab- -town- He absolved him from all censure yesterday, and said he deserved praise for the efficient manner in which he lias performed his work in that section. An organized search for Tom Cass, the lurderer, is to be started this week. A inference was held yesterday between Lowry. Coroner McDowell.

CV'T OFF THEIR EARS. Foreman Arrested for Alleced Cruelty to Horses. John Dillon. a former foreman for Joseph Lynete. a contractor for the Pittsburg.

Bessemer Lake Erie railroad, has been arrested on a charge of malicious mischief by Constable James Mitchell, of Oakmont. It is alleged that Dil- Ion entered the stable of Lynete and cut ofT the ears of three horses and also severed the talis of others. One mare narrowly escaped having her throat cut. as she jumped when the kntfe touched her ears. Superintendent Porter, of the Humane Society, is investigating the matter, and If the facts are as alleged will sue Dillon under the act prohibiting cruelty to animals.

Maimed That the Strikers Make a. Bitter Fight. Will GOT POINTERS IN WEST VIRGINIA. The coming week promises to be an exciting one in the local mining situation. As has been foreshadowed in "The Tost" the preparations for starting are about completed, and the operators say there will be no scarcity of men.

Developments along the Wheeling division of the Haltimore Ohio Railroad will be watched with interest. Inside of 10 days, it is predicted in cer tain circles, that there will be at least four mines in operation. Another meet ing was held by a number of the opera tors'yesterday. 'and they are as determined as ever to start the mines. The session was secret, but it was learned that they will wait the result of the St.

Louis convention. The first open step toward starting the Pittsburg Chicago Gas Coal Company's mine at tlastonville, was made yesterday. David Van Emman. the manager, notified the men who are living in company houses to vacate in 10 days. lie told them that he woula much prefer to have his old men go to work, but as they refused, he was com.

polled to bring new men in to take their places. There are about 10 houses be. longing to the company at Gastonville. Kach tenant was served with a notice. It caused considerable excitement, and the men are doing much Many of them sacrificed wages retained on contracts that were violated, and now owe about six weeks rent.

The manager says he wants to be fair with his men. and gives them ample time to consider. If they do not go to work they must vacate and make room for new- men. This is when trouble is expected. The strikers are not in the best of humor, and it is claimed will make a bitter fight against imported labor.

To offset this it is said that one of the attaches of a well-known coal firm has been in West Virginia for several days getting pointers on how to operate mines on a non-union basis. President Patrick Dolan has been selected by the 1'nited Labor League as its representative at the St. Louis convention. Many of the local organiza tions sent proxies to members of their assemblies in St. Louis asking them to represent them In the convention, which will be held in Masonic hall.

In the meantime the situation will hang In the balance until after that body has declared its intentions. There was considerable discussion In cents for mining; in Chicago Kentucky coal sold for $2 10, with a freight rate of $1 65. with also a margin of 45 cents for mining. Pittsburg conl sold in Pittsburg from $1 to $1 25. The prices were suffer than they have been for several days.

LAST OF HIS RACE. fTramp" the Set-ond Dies From the Effect of a Foundland'a Auter and Jealousy. "Tramp's" son Is dead. Likely the announcement does not carry much intelligence to the average Pitts-burger, but to the Alleghenian the case Is different. "Tramp" was aa much a feature of the Northside city hall as any of the policemen, and possibly of many other city officials.

It was a fact that although "Tramp" was only a dog. he felt quite as important as any roundsman upon his beat, and for 20 years sternly scrutinized every stranger who invaded the precincts of the Northside. One day died from the effect of trying to oppose nineteenth century progress as represented by an electric car. Whether he concluded that his day was done or not could not be learned, but at any rate the poTIce department in Allegheny buried him with befitting honor. About a week later Charles Kenney.

of the Fourth ward, happened into the city hall with a yellow brindle pup, and, strange to say. possessing only a stump for a tail. "This dog is the only son of he said. "I have named him after his father in the hope that he may emulate the great dog's ways. "Tramp the Second" did so.

He immediately established himself at the Central police station. Allegheny, and evidenced the warmest affection for every blue coat and brass button which appeared upon the scene. With difficulty was the dog induced to return home. From that time, though, it watched for every officer and followed him around the beat with as supreme confidence as did its father. Iist evening Police Lieutenant McTn-tyre happened to pass in front of the Kenney mansion and the canine saw him.

Apparently realizing that no inconsiderable business brought the official to that part of town it burrowed under the fence and followed as sedately as it could with only three legs, owing to a collision with a small boy's rock. The lieutenant patted the dog on the back, and together they started to make their rounds. "Tramp" was, however, zealous. As they reached the corner of Madison avenue and Ohio street, it looked askance at a huge Newfoundland dog. Confident in its own importance as a recognized member1 of the police force, it really snubbed the representative from her majesty's bleakest province.

Now the latter was tired of being left out in the cold, and without more parleying it promptly seized "Tramp" by the back. Lieutenant Mclntyre went to the rescue of the police dog with all the force of a "handy billy," but even as. he knocked the big dog unconscious, the backbone of "Tramp" was snapped, and the race which was made historic in Allegheny annals is ended. llirrotlunii Issued Yesterday.
