How n Chicago Artist Has Fieeccd by
Two Insin -ating swiodltrs.
CHICAGO, June 7.-Art and police circles
are exercised over the situation in which
Mr.. G. Bressan, the well known portrait
artist, finds himself. Mr.. Bressan has a
iondness for draw poker. Yesterday two
well dressed and intelligent men called
upon the artist, and after considerable de.
pertinent left an order for work amounting
to $1,000. They had heard oil Mr.. Bressan's .
genius with the brush, they said, and were
willing to pay him almost any price. The
artist was last evening invited 10 call upon
his two new patrons ut the fremont House.
They represented themselves wealthy trav.
eIers. After few bottles OF wine had been
disposed Of, a quiet little game Of draw was
proposed, and when the wealthy travellers
got through with the distinguished artist
they had plucked him Of every dollar he
carried into the hotel. Mr.. Bressan was
not discouraged, and 1t was arranged that
the three should meet again this morning.
Before the artist called, however, two de.
tectives got Information Of the affair, and
the swindlers were arrested aud locked up.
They gave the names OF David Ward and
Leonard johnson. Ward had about $500
in his possession. This wealthy travellers"
will have hearing before a Justice in the

NEw HAVEN, Conn, June THE town
OF Ansonia is excited over the alleged at.
tempt OF Father Byron to compel Catholics
to have medical services only Of DR.. Conk.
ling. A parishoner employed Protestant
doctor for his sick wife. She did not i'm.
prove, and it was feared she would die.
Byron was sent for, but refused to attend
because DR.. Conkling had not been EN-.
ployed. The woman is now recovering.
Last Sunday morning Dr.. Conkling went
to Father Brady with letter Of introduc.
ton. Father Brady was III, and the Doctor
handed the letter TO Father Daley, his as.
sistant, asking him TO announce at first
mass that DR.. Conkline was coming among
them to practice medicine, and give him
an Introduction to the people. Father Daley
did 80. Father Byron at the next two
masses made an announcement TO the effect
that he was glad 10 announce that young
CotholiC doctor had come among them and
they would no longer be obliged to have
recourse to heretcal murderers. He an.
nounced he would not attend any woman
who did not employ DR.. Conkliog Father
Brady and other prominent Catholics de.
nounce Father Byron. The matter will be
brought before the Bishop.

PlTTsBuRGH, June I'm comparatively
short time Mr.. John ]. Jarrett, President
of the Amalgamated Association OF Iron
and Steel Workers, will sever his connection
in an official way from that body. The
annual convention and election Of officers
Of the association will be held in Phila'
delphia on August 7, and Mr.. Jarrett will
no longer be candidate.
Mr.. Jarrett has been closely identified
with the Association since It's organization.
and with the Sons OF Vulcan, its well.
known predecessor. He served as Vice
President from the Sixth District at the
time Joseph Bishop was President, and at
the time OF his election to that position 10
January, 1880, was Deputy Vice Presi'
dent. He has been reelected each success.
sive year since, but has now informed the
organization that he will not be candi.
date for reelection under any cirCum.
stances. He will remain member OF the
Association, however, but will not take q
prominent part in their affairs after bis
retirement. Various reasons for Mr.. Jar
ret's action are given, but the cause
assigned by himself is that he be-
lieves his day OF usefulness is past,
and that he takes matters so much to heart
that the worry incidental to his duties seri-
ously fleets him physically and mentally,
and that he desires 10 give way to a man
OF strong executive ability. Two names are
prominently mentioned in connection with
Mr.. Jarrett's successor, and these are the
Hon. William Weihe, who is puddler
and a trustee OF the Association, and q. d.
Thompson, now ViCe.President ot tho
Wheeling district. Ex.President Bishop
is not prominently connected with the or.
ganization at present, but his name hai
been spoken OF for the presidency.
Mr.. Jarrett, as is well known, opposed
the strikes OF the past two years, all OF
which proved disastrous to the Association,
and in the last disagreement, in which he
took firm stand on the terms proposed by
the workmen, he and they were successful.
The gentleman states that he does not yet
know what he will do after retiring from the
Presidency, but that il be can get nothing
better to do, he will again go to work at
pudding There is strong opposition 10
bis retirement, and well there may be-, for
he has been faithful to his trust, efficient,
wise in his counselings, dgnifed, courte.
Gus, and will retire with well deserved
honors.
Secretary Martin is also talked Of among.
others as probable successor in office, but
he has no aspirations in that direction. In
this connection it may be stated that when
Mr. Jarrett was first elected 10 fill vacancy
existing in 1880, Mr.. Martin gave his word
that SO long az Mr.. Jarrett proved himself
to be the honorable, fair dealing man he
was then, he would never permit his name
to be advanced as that Of an opposing can.
didate for the. presidency, aud although
urged since then TO permit his name in
this connection, he has firmly adhered to
his promise.

PIrrsBURou, June THE Holiness Con-
vention inaugurated it's meetings in the
tabernacle on Sherman avenue last night,
in a manner which must have been rather
disheartepiug to the leader, Rev. ]. P.
Thatcher, Of Moundsville, W. Va, unless,
like the Salvation Army, he eglories in trib.
ulstions from the hoodlum element. About
so persons were inside Of the tent, consist.
ing chiefly Of youngsters ranging from 8 to
10 years, and on the outside was somewhat
larger number Of young persons Of both
sexes who laughed at their own ei.
forts TO be witty at the expense OF the con.
yention. ThB'pxercises included large
amount OF singing, and questions were
pumped by the leader at the occupants re.
spec,ing their religious habits and prac'
tees, which met prompt, but evidently not
always truthful answers. The Salvation
Army has been stimulated by the presence
OF their rival to secure extra attraction to
hold the popular ear, and have reinforced
their orchestra by the employment OF fe.
male tambourine player.
