A LIVELY SESSION.
The Grand Council of the Sovereigns of In
dustry Meets-A Hot Discussion on the
New Constitution.

The Grand Council of the Sovereigns of In.
du,try Meets--A Hot Discussion ON the
New Constitution.
A lively meeting of the Grand Council of
the Independent Sovereigns of Industry
was held last night in the Moorhead build
ing. The object was to consider the new
constitution, which gives the grand body
jurisdiction over the order in all
States and Territories. At present the
Grand Council only possesses a charter
allowing it to work in this State. The idea
to extend the order outside met with gen.
eral favor, and a committee was appointed a
year ago to secure new charter and make
a new constitution. 1t was intimated, after
this committee got down to work, that the
grand officers were engineering things to
suit themselves, and there was a general
objection in the subordinate councils.
There were about 125 delegates present at
the meeting last evening, and Grand Presi-
dent Buckley was in the chair. Numerous
objections were filed to the new constitution,
aud when the Council adjourned, at II
o'clock, the first, second and part OF the
third articles only had been considered.
The first objection that was raised was to
the proposed makeup OF the Grand Council.
The committee recommended that all officers
and members of the present Grand Council,
and all Presidents of subordinate councils,
now holding office or that shall hereafter be
elected, should be made permanent members
of the Grand Council. This was defeated
after q long discussion, and the present sys-
tenn of representation was adopted.
The section giving the Grand Council the
power to enlarge or diminish the number
and qualification of its members was also
defeated.
The recommendation that the Grand
President be given the power to appoint a
Deputy Grand President at Large and q
District Deputy Grand President for each
district occasioned a lively discussion,
which resulted in the majority of the votes
being recorded against it. As the repre-
sentatives had gotten pretty well divided by
this time, this was considered quite vic
tory for the opponents to the new constitu-
tion. Another Recommendation. providing
that each grand officer should serve as chair
man of some standing committee, got a
black eve.
At II o'clock the Grand Council ad-
journed, to meet again on Saturday evening,
August 10, when the report Of the commit
tee will be continued.
Grand President Buckley stated after the
meeting adjourned that he had been target
for the members of the order long enough,
and that he would not accept the Office
again.

FROM ALLEGED JEALOUS RIVALS.

Mrs. DR.. Easton Leaves the Ladies' Relief
Her Associates.
At the rooms of the Ladies' Relief Com
mittee yesterday there was a noticeable abb
scence of the ladies who formerly presided
over the Bureau OF Information. Mrs. DR..
Easton, Chairman of the bureau, and her
assistant had withdrawn, and refused to
work there any longer.
Mrs.. George A. Kelly, member of the
Executive Committee, stated that on Friday
afternoon an article had appeared in one Of
the papers that reflected somewhat on the
Executive Committee, and she thought the
information had been furnished by the
Bureau of Information. She spoke to Mrs.
Easton about it and that lady denied that
the facts came from her department. Mrs.
Kelly also stated that she was not pleased
with the action of the chairman of the
Bureau of Information, going to Johnstown
to consult with the authorities there. The
request had been sent to her by General
Hastings for the information as to the suf-
ferers entertained in this city. She sent the
desired matter, and afterward found that
Mrs. Easton had been in Johnstown and
supplied the information.
Mrs. DR.. EastOn was seen last night and
stated that she had retired simply because
she did not wish to submit to the insults OF
jealous minded members of the Executive
Board. She did not propose to be domin-
eered over by them. Her vis;. to Johns
town was made at the suggestion of Chair
man McCreery, who advised her to consult
with the Bureau Of Information in Johns
town. She was working under the direction
of the State authorities and she did not
propose to give up the work. She said she
will continue it at her own home where she
will not be bothered with Jealous rivals.

DON'T WANT THE zoo.
Allegheny Millionaires Have a Re-
monstrance Against 1t.
CALLIT AN OUT AND OUT NUISANCE
Aneghenians Probably will Do Without a
Geological Garden.
SOME OF THOSE THAT HEAD THE LIST

1t is probable that there will be great
deal more fun about the proposed Allegheny
Zoo, before it has been actually established,
than could be afterward, even if the
menagerie were ever so large.
The fact of the matter is that the resi-
dents along the park are raising very strong
objections to any geological garden being
established on Monument Hill, and in order
to make their opposition effective remon-
STRANGE has been drawn up, and with the
signatures of all the millionaires along
Irwin, Lincoln and Ridge avenues it is to
be handed to Councils with The urgent re-
quest of prohibiting the establishment Of
any menagerie on the top of the hill.
THE OBJECTIONS ARE MANIFOLD:
Somebody anticipates very strong odor
from the close proximity of Polar bears,
hyenas and monkeys. Another has an idea
that the sudden roar of an African lion in
the middle of the night might seriously
cause him to be inflicted with nightmare
of horrid dreams, beside waking up the
children. The professors of the Western
Theological Seminary think that the at
fractions OF the study of practical zoology
might prevent their students to take the
necessary interest in the ethics of theology
and ruin their institution. In short every
body in the neighborhood of Monument Hill
is already in fear Of the consequences
which might possibly arise from the Zoolog-
ical Garden, and while they are all primed
with reasonable objections against it, they
have not even mentioned the tact that
tiger might some day break loose and MUIR
derously attack somebody.
EVERYBODY IS AGAINST IT.
The DISPATCH was apprised of the move
ment of demonstrating against the Zoo late
last night, and when reporter went over to
Allegheny all the residents around the
park were apparently in deep slumber, but
Mr.. McHenry. the druggist on the corner
OF Western and Irwin avenues, was still
visible in his store, and when he was asked
about the remonstrance he said:
"Yes, the people along Irwin avenue,
Ridge avenue and Lincoln avenue are all
up in arms against the Zoo. I am not
posted on the particulars Of their objections,
but know that they are equally strong
against it. Every prominent man, I be-
lieve, from Mr.. Henry Phipps to Mr.. II.
Darlington, Mr.. E. Gregg and many others,
say that the thing would be an out-and-out
nuisance, and il they can prevent it from
being established, they will certainly do it.
/ saw the remonstrance and there are about
30 names on the list, which will be handed
to Councils as soon as possible"

LEGISLATION HOPED FOR.
THE NEW SHIP CANAL.
Conference Between Quay and Pittsburg
Operators at Beayer.

A Conference Between Quay and Pittsburg
Operators at Beayer.
A delegation of Monongahela coal opera
tors met Senator Quay at Beaver Friday to
confer in regard to the proposed new water
way between Pittsburg and the lakes. The
plan is to build three dams in the Ohio, be-
tween Pittsburg and Beaver, in order to
make it navigable. A ship canal would
then be built between Beaver and the lakes.
Ten thousand dollars has already been ap-
propriated to make survey Of the best
route.
Senator Quay, it is said, will endeavor to
have the next Congress appropriate the
money to build the dam in the Ohio, in
connection with the Improvements of that
river.
In chat yesterday, prominent coal
operator, who was at the conference, said:
The benefits which Pittsburg would derive by
having a water route to the great lakes is
simply beyond comprehension. 1t is estimated
that at least 100000 tons Of coal and iron
would be shipped by this route to and from
Pittsburg proper in the course of year. The
cost of shipping iron ore to Pittsburg would be
greatly reduced, while. on the other hand the
coal producers of Western Pennsylvania would
be able to send their coal to the lakes and the
great northwest at much less cost than it can
be transported by rail. The railroads cannot
supply the demand, They are not able to give
the transportation required. Give Pittsburg
water way to the lakes and there will be a revo-
luton of incalculable benefit to all branches of
industry here and hereabouts.

A FREE BATHHOUsE.
Plan By which the city Can Obtain On

Plan By which the City Can Obtain One.
Mr.. E. Jordan. long known as the pro-
prietor OF the bathing boat in the Allegheny
river. below the Sixth street bridge, is will
ing to make an arrangement by which the
boat will become free bathhouse. The boat,
with its improved appliances, is valued at
$4,000. Mr.. Jordan proposes to contribute
"a. 900 of its stock toward the project, the
remaining s., 900 to be contributed by the
city or by charitably disposed persons. The
boat will then become free to the public,
under reasonable restrictions to secure per-
feet good order and safety to the bathers.
Furthermore, Mr.. Jordan will give his own
time and services free to the new enterprise
for the rest of the year, and will himself
pay all the employees ofthe boat during thas
time.
Mr.. Jordan very properly remarks that
Pittsburg should not be behind the large
Eastern cities which maintain free public
baths. There is no more worthy charity
than to furnish the poor OF the city good
place to bathe in the warm weather. The
general public health will be improved
thereby. Add to which the fact that all
can learn to swim quickly and safely, which
may often be the means of saving human
lives. Mr.. Jordan believes that the public
spirited men of the city will come forward
to aid such plan for giving the people Of
Pittsburg and Allegheny u frst-elass Tree
bathhouse and swimming school, and thinks
Councils should readily aid the matter. y

A WEST END SCARE.
The People There Want the Saw Mill Run
Dam Removed.

Dam Removed.
An indignation meeting of the citizens of
the West End will be held Friday evening,
June %, at the Thirty-sixth ward school
house, 10 take some action relative to re-
moving the dam situated at the mouth of
Saw Mill run. 1t is said that this dam has
caused the run channel to be filled in to the
extent of closing all the sewers emptying
into the same and is now a constant menace
to health.
The original depth of the run was eight
feet. Constant rain has washed the bank
considerably and has filled in the channel.
Upon every heavy rain the water is forced
into the sewer pipes, and from thence into
the cellars of many houses on Wabash ave-
nue. and Main street, causing loss to prop
erty and endangering health. The dam was
erected by the trustees of the Woods estate.
A year since an appeal was made to the
trustees in regard to doing away with the
dam. No attention was given to the re-
quest, and now the citizens propose to take
the matter into their own hands.

What The New Hurry. In viii Do,

The new patrol wagon for the Second

wood at engine house No. 13, and will be
driven by the members of the engine COM
pany, as no extra men will be engaged. The
wagon will be called to answer the boxes
between Soho and Hazelwood. as patrol
wagon No. A has too much territory to cover
and the hot weather has caused considerable
hard work for the horses. One Of them was
overcome with the heat last Sunday.

Assurance That Iusure,.

:, We take pleasure In calling attention to
ganized (over 20 yearsago) and successfully
managed by John D. Biggert, at No. 81
Fourth avenue. Mr.. Biggert is one of the
pioneers in the business, and represents
some Of the oldest and stanchest companies
in the world. The assets, amounting to
millions, are invested in securities Of the
bonds and frst bond and mortgage). Prop
erty owners desiring absolute security
should, in consulting their own interests,
patronize his agency. The leading manu-
facturers and merchants in this community
patronize him--a fact which is in itself a
good Recommendation.
