Delegates Make Public the ProceedlDsS-
Pittsburg Recruiting Center.
NEW YORK, Msy 26 Several Irisnmen
who have taken an active part in lrirh revo'
lutionary matters, both IN Ireland and IN
America, were asked to give synopsis OF
what was done at the conference in Boston
First, they answered that the conference
was q matter Of no public Importance but
on being assured that their names would
not be made public they became more
communicative.
"The possible action of the American
Government on the fisheries, said one
gentlemen, "hss been discussed by the
delegates. For the past ten years the
pbyi icaI force party has been directing 1t
energies to forming purely military or,
eauizstion, which, in the event OF England
getting into difficulty abroad, would be
utilized to harrass her at q moments no
tice. Should this Government get IN trou-
bic with England we can furnish, on short
notice, 80 900 Irishman to move on Can
ada. New York is our greatest recruiting
center. Next comes Chicago, then st, Louis,
Boston, Rochester Philadelphia, Detroit,
Cincinnati and Plttsburg, not to mention
other places. All these places were repre-
sented at the Boston conference. At that
ference the opinion was that the American
Government, il left to itself, would back !
down on the fishery question, but that the
sentiment OF the American people was so
slroug that the Government would have TO
push ths matter strenuously. Tne dee
gates said they had felt the pulse OF the
people in their respective citiea, and the
ceiling was strong against allowing the
English to b1lldoze the American Govern
nent. The meeting Was informed that
several Irish merchants in our ranks had
agreed to furnish enough money to ht out
vessel. TIE Irelsnd's Hope, which was
ftted out about 20 yosrs ago and sent to
Ireland with officers and arms, was men-
ioned, and the Boston dele ,ate said we
,ould do much better now and seEd u
more formidable vessel to fight in Canadian
waters.
"a proposition was made to fit out fish
ng vessel aud dare the English Canadians
o interfere. Il was thought that crisis
ould be preoipitated in this way. The
proposition was not adopted, and there was
disposition to lsy it over, for there IS to
e snothe. meeting shortly, but not in Bos,
on. Several members said it would be
.ood idea to make the Imperial Govern
nent show i,s hand. If the English did moi
hiuk Canada worth fighting about the Ca
adisns would be left to Themselves and
hen would follow annexation to the States
or there is q strong annexation feeling in
ysnada.

Ing High Pressure Mains.
WHEELING. May 2G, 1886.
| To the Editor Of he RegiIfr.
Will the REGISTER kindly procure for an
interested citizen the information, Why
the Manufacturers Gas Company desires
the extraordinary pressure OF iorty pounds
to the square inch, on their main line
along Main street,
Is it necessary for any practical purpose
that fifteen pounds pressure should ex.
ist in their line in the Eighth ward, unless
such pressure is desired to convey the gas
to Bsnwood and Bellaire?
As citizen would object TO our au.
lhorities allowing such heavy initial pres.
sure, thereby endspgering the lives and
property Of our people, ior the benefit OF
Renwood end Bellaire. The minimum
pressure named is what the city Of Pitts.
burg allows Tor a medium pressure. No
such pressure is necessary for a supply to
any manufsctory in this CITY. a. the great
Pennsylvania Tubes Works 10 run with q
pressure oi eight ounces and produces ten
miles Of pipe per day.
A leak on any line carrying the pressure
proposed, it would seem to the upinitiated,
is more liable to occur than If a lower
pressure vss uaed The high
pressGrs will be upon Main street
and right under the new pavement, and
every leak will necessitate the tearing up
and ibury Of the paving. Not only the
safety OF citizens ard their property, bat
also the preservation OF The city's own i'm.
provemen would ssem to have demanded
that the high pressure line should have
been placed BY the Board Of Public Works
where It could do no possible damage.
Council should take come action limiting
the pressure which any gss company can
use within this city Just as Pittsburg has
done. 4 rule should be made applicable
to all without distinction. The public in
terests and safety require 1t. CITIZEN.

ALL DAY MEETING
At the Capitol Rink Yesterday-Another
To-Day.

At the Capitol Rink Yesterday-Anothsr
To-Day.
Yesterday morning at o'clock the al
day meeting under the auspices Of Miss
Jennie Smith, at the Capitol Rink, began.
Quite crowd was present, and as the
meeting progressed it gradually increased.
The programe as presented in yesterday
mornings paper was followed out and ell
the addresses were especially fine and in
teresting As the Capitol clock tolled out
each hour there was season OF silent
pray er after which the next topic was
taken up. In this manner the time passed
By until s O'Clock last evening,
people coming and going al.
most constantly. At the evening
meeting the building was crowded to the
doors. This meeting was one Of the most
enthusiastic and fruitful ones ever held in
the city, and the excellent results attained
were even beyond the most sanguins ex-
psctations Of its originators. Over 5000
people attended during the day, ana more
than one hundred signed the pledge.
Miss Smith has been earnest in this
good work, but last evening she fairly out
did herself, and her talk and work was 90
deeply convincing that the audience hung,
as it were upon each word she uttered, and
it is safe to say, although many sinners
we're present, that there vas not q soul
present who disbelieved the burning truths
she poured out to them. The whole was
one OF the grsndest successes in religious
work that has yet been experienced here.
Through the hberslity OF one Of the citi.
zens Of the city, the Capitol Rink has been
procured for another sllday meeting
rhe grand success of yesterdays effort
gives assurances of large and deeply inter.
esting meetings to-day. These meetings
ought to form in size and results, fitting
Of the remarkable campaign |
which Miss Smith has carried on in the
city. Let everybody attend. The meet.
ings will not be altogether continuous. As
will be seen By the programme there will
be no services from II o'clock -, nor
rom & o'clock to I. Miss Smith will
cave the Rink in time for the noon meet.
ng at the B. & o. R. K. shops and at 6 p.
N. will hold a service at the Atlantic En-.
zine House. The day will be tull OF work
Pledges will be presented at each service.
and drinking men are cordially asked to
De present. Special attention is called to
he children's meeting at 4:30p. m. Miss
smith has expressed a wish to meet as
many of the children Of the city as can be
present. Let the children be brought to.

PAREERsBURG, W. Va, May l6.-An
thony McNieholss and Henry Dickel went
to the W. C. 7. U. festival at fhe rink last
night and created q disturbance by using
vile and abusive language. DR.. ]. W.
Carter, the Baptist minister, who was pres.
ent requested them to desist or leave the
premises. They refused to leave and con-
tinued in their vile behavior. The doctor,
at the time being alone in that part of the
large edi6ce, undertook to eject one OF
them, Whereupon they both set upon him
with ateel knuckles and beat him terribly,
knocking him down, kicking and cnttlDg
him about the head. The doctor has one
very serious cut over the lett eye, reaching
to the bone, and number OF serious cuts
and bruises Both sf the roughs then
made dash for the door, pursued BY a
number of gentlemen who were present,
bat too late on the scene to save the
Doctor. They made good their escape to
Ohio, it is presumed. Warrants are out
for both, and tits safe to say that If caught,
and it is proven that they used concealed
weapons, such as bilhes, knuckles, &C.,
they are good tor term 10 the pea. Nc
Nicholas is a brother of Tom McNicholss,
now in iail for cutting with intent to kill
Lee Warner, 8 few days since. and it is

recently at the skating rink, accidental

Under the present condition of affairs 1t
has been proposed this morning to take up

gospel and ladies of social and missionary
societies with Winchester repeating rifles
to protect them from the mobocracy which
is becoming epidemic in this vale OF tears.

But they rushed to his arms without
waiting for him to get up. Every body
did-groom, bride and chi!drcn-without
knowing Just why, and they laughed and
being left to herself, recovered all alone,
and joined the riot with as much goodwill
as any one, until enough quiet was re-
stored to tell and to hear all about it. How
the whole plot had been arranged yester-
day afternoon; how the cook and the house
maid had joyously entered into the con-
spiracy, and the cook had engaged her own
pastor, a German Lutheran, who knew just
about enough English to stumble through
the marriage service, and how he had
married them while the family was eating
Christmas breakfast, and then fed with as
precipitate secrecy as he had arrived, while
the house-maid let Tom into Jacks room,
Evelyn having previously instructed him
in the duties CT Santa Claus.
But where was Jack all this time? Be
fore Tom, who locked awfuliy guilty, or
Evelyn, who looked a little. frightened,
could answer this, one Of those little blue
coated Ariels of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company brought telegram from
Jack. He was away up the country on the
L. S. Il d. railroad, at Lost Greek, and
couldn't get back until noon.
