A meeting suggestive Of Republican har-
mouy in the fall campaign was held last
evening in the Allegheny Republican Club
rooms. John N. Mech, Of the First Iegis-
lative district, and Mr.. Bradley, Of the
Second, called 1t informally, and the 70
sponsive gathering was made mp Of Repub-
lican workers of all the shades recognized

Hcan workers OF the two legislative districts
composing the city of Allegheny partiei-
pated, and q disposition was manifested 70

primaries, or st least to apply salye to any
sores that may be left over from that time.
At the recent meeting Of the County
Committee subcommittee was appointed
to select county committeemen IRON each
election precinct. Last nights meeting
was intended az . sort Of Republican lam

ing, preliminary TO the selections that may

Allegheny City's representation on the reor.
ganized County Committee. For the most
part an accommodating spirit prevailed, and
though two names are on the list from some
districts, as it is now made out, it Is ex-
pected that before the meeting Of the sub
committee tomorrow afternoon one name
from each district will have been mutually
agreed upon. In none Of the other legisls-

Bnt 1 am afraid that it wasn't

the purpose of the act to be progressive.
From the language of the act, it looks to me
rs though it is one like many others that
were passed just about the time the United
States Cons stitution was adopted. The idea
then was to- ALLOW every person who lived
in the country and who wanted
to become citizen to do so. 1t was some
thing like taking in charter members Of
lodge. There were not to be so many re-
strictions nor any initiatory ceremonies. I
didn't have any talk with Judge Stowe
about the matter, but if he says that there is
aqnestion as to the act being progressive,
then it is a serious question, as everyone
knows what he is as a jurist. Should it he
found that the law was simply for the time
being and not progressive, the effects will
be far reaching, and will certainly cause
many complications. am extremely anx-
ious to know what Judge Stoves decision
will be. He simply marked the papers in
Brennan's case &C. A w. which means
that they are held for further adyisement.
'You will have a long hunt before you
will find lawyer who will criticise Judge
Stowe," said another lawyer. Judge
Stowe is too good lawyer and Judge for
any man to question his opinion"

FOR MORE THAN PERJURY.
That Is Why Squire Cassidy Held Charles
Mcclure 10 Ball.

That Is Why Squire Cassidy Held Charles
Mcclure 10 Bail.
The case of Charles Mcclure, who was sued
by Peter McGrath on two charges of perjury
and for assault and battery by Charles Rem
ington. was given hearing last night before
Alderman Cassidy. The evidence brought to
light that Mcclure had sworn to a statement
to the effect that McGrath had sold him liquor
when he (McGrath) had no license, but failed
to prove It. McGrath then sued him for the
above named offense, and on two charges.
The suit for assault and battery on Reming-
ton grew out of the latter being one OF the
witnesses in a case against Mcclure.
Mcclure was helQ for court on the three
charges. He was also locked up, as he failed
to give 81, 500 bail Squire Cassidy stated that
before his trial comes up in court there will
vely likely be 60 or 20 other charges lodged
against Mcclure for various offenses against
people all over the two cities. It is alleged that
be, with three others, has been entering suits
against people for selling hquor without
four, it is said, would take turns
in entering suits, SO as not to
created too much opposition. 1t is further
stated by the Alderman that one of the plans
of operation was to 20 about the cities as rag
men," stopping at different houses and COM
planning of the bad water. thus securing beer
occasionally for which pay was rendered; but
it is alleged that. whether the pay was taken or
not, they would threaten to sue.
A large crowd was at the examination, a
number of whose members. it is reported, were
among the victimized, or at least thought
themselves victims.

TemperancevilIe Citizens Instruct Prof An.
drews TO Bring suit-A Committee TO
Raise the Wind-The City Attorney Will
Help.
The citizens of the West End met last night
In the Thirty-sixth ward schoolh ouse to hear
the report of the committee appointed to con-
suit with City Attorney Moreland relative to
entering suit against the owners of the dam at
the mouth of Sawmill run.
Mr.. P. Foley presided, and DR.. Heely acted
as secretary. Prof. Samuel, Andrews. Chairman
of the committee who met Mr.. Moreland last
Monday, reported the result of the interview
The facts of the disease-breeding state of af-
fairs were laid before him. as well as the action
taken at the meeting of week ago. Mr.. More
land replied that he was fully conversant with
all the facts in the case. having visited the
neighborhood, and thought that the dam should
be removed. For the city to bring the ncces-
sary snit, however he thought would be inju-
dicious. as the city's sewers emptied into the
run and were one source of complaint. He ad-
ylsed that some reputable citizen who had been
injured lodge an information against the
Woods heirs. owners of the dam, charging
them with constructing and maintaining a nui-
sance- he, on behalf of the city, would lend
hls assistance in prosecuting the case.
When the committees report had been re-
ceiyed, Mr.. Ralph suggested that the matter
pc LETT open Tor some one to volunteer to make
the information. o. p. Robertson. Esq, sup
plemented this by moving that Prot Andrews
be appointed to bring the suit.
Chairman Foley interjected that before any
one was put forward the property holders of
the Thirty-sixth ward, all of whom were more
or less damaged, should arrange to bear the ex-
pense of the prosecution.
Upon motion of DR.. Nicely. the same commit
tee that reported WIS continued to canvass the
ward and devise ways and means of raising the
funds necessary to legal action, which was ac-
cordingly done. Prof. Andrews then agreed to
bring suit, and will consult with Major More
land and lodge an information forthwith. The
case cannot reach trial before next September.

TWO GLASS CONVENTIONS.
The FIints and Window Glass Workers to
Meet Next Week.

The FIints and Window Glass Workers to
Meet Next Week.
Two big glassworkers' conventions are to be
held next week: The fints, at Bellaire, o.. be-
ginning Monday, and the window workers in
thiskity beginning Tuesday. This will be the
twelfth animal convention of the American
Flint Glass Workers Union, but the window
workers only meet when there is something i'm
portsnt to do, and this will be the first conven-
ton in three years.
The fiints' convention will be the largest ever
held and the delegates will represent men,
bership of fully 6,0O0 Tho annual reports will
be very encouraging. and will show decrease
of the Indebtedness due to the great lockout
last year and also q big surplus in the treasury.
The insurance feature will be considered
during the session. Some additional clerical
work will be required If 1t is adopted Many
of the locals seem to favor the plan as pro-
posed.
OF all the flint workers in the country there
are less than 100 non-union men.
Many of the delegates to the convention ar
rived in the city yesterday, and all will leave
this afternoon for Bellaire. The Auditing
Committee met in President Smiths Office yes
rerday afternoon and looked over the accounts
finding everything in good shape The orgapi-
zation has between 500 900 and $500, 900 in the
national treasury. Tne election OF officers this
year will likely be a very tame affair. as no
opposition has been named to the present in
cumbents.

GOING TO BALTIMORE.

Whatever Profit Mny Attach to Johnstown
Work Gets Awuy.
The contract for the remainder of the Johns
town work was yesterday awarded to Balti-
more firm by the State Commission,
and caused some of the Pittsburg COM
petitors to speak of the injustice
of the award. Mr.. s. 8. Marvin and
Chairman McCreery had been at Johnstown
Thursday. 1t was thought they would know
something concerning the contract. Mr.. Mar
vim was accordingly called on last night He
said:
I'VE had nothing to do with the giving of the
work, nor did know it had been given to q
Baltimore firm until you informed me. 1 GER
tainly think there are enough contractors in
this State, or even in Pittsburg, to choose
from. There is no excuse for the State Com
mission giving the contract to q Baltimore
firm Pittsburg was certainly entitled to the
contract or, at least, some other city in Penn
sylvania."
He said further, that an injustice had thus
been done the people of this State who con-
tributed SO literally to the sufferers of the
Johnstown disaster. He denied emphatlcally
that he or Mr.. McCreery had anything TO do
with the letting of the contract

THREE BODIES RECOVERED,
And Two sun In the Bottom of the Creek
Searching for the Missing-Arrange.

And Two Sun In the Bstiom Of the Creek
Searching for the Missing-Arrangc.
ments for the Funeral.
The bodies of three of the fve persons lost
in the Connoquenessing creek on the Fourth
were recovered yesterday. They were Miss
May Royal, Bert Freeman and Miss Fannie
McComb. The two first named were found In
the morning and brought down on the noon
train. Rough boxes were made on the spot
and they were taken to the undertakers as
soon as the train reached the city and prepared
for burial. Miss Royals body was not cut or
bruised, but was very much swollen. Mr. Free
man was badly bruised about the head BY COM
ing in contact with the ragged edges Of the
rocks.
Shortly sfter noon Miss McComb's body Was
found about six miles from the scene OF the ac-
cident 1t was brought down on the evening
train, which arrived shortly after O'Clock.
The body was at once taken to Fullerton's un-
dertaking establishment, embalmeo and pre-
pared for burial.
On the same train was Edward Shaffer. the
only survivor, and he was at once removed 70
his home No. Ackley street. HIS condltlon Is
rather serious. as he cannot keep the norripie
occurrence cut of his memory. and the snock
may resultfatally. HIS physician does not al
low him TO speak of the accident, and no person
il allowed to see him.
Rev. w. F. Connor of the Arch Street NJ. e.
Church, and his wife devoted the day and night
to visiting the afflicted families. The father
of Miss Royal is distracted, and was found
wandering ainlessly about the city Yesterday.
The parents of the other lost ones refuse TO be
consoled, and their grief canrot be described.
The sad accident has cast gloom over tine
entire Arch street congregation, and particu-
larly the Young Sople's Society, Oh wnlcn the
drowned persons were members.
Hosts of persons have volunteered their ser.
vices in searching for the missing bodles.
Graphing hooks are now being used, but the
work is slow and the recovery of the bodies
yesterday was almost accidental. Two expert
divers have agreed to 60 mp to-day ana search
the river if the bodies are not found. They
are Chief Collector George Rudolph. o. the
Internal Revenue Office and his brother. They
can see under water and can dive ~ feet. o.
The creek has fallen four feet since the acci-
dent and Is still falling II Is believed that the
other bodies will be recovered to-day.
Arrangements are now being made for the
funeral, which will occur in the new Arch
street church. which was dedicated last Sun
day. If possible, all the bodies will be brought
into the church. The remains of Mrs Royal
may have to be buried to-day. and IL 1t is found
that the body cannot be kept until tomorrow,
the funera. will take place at o'clock this
afternoon from the residence OF her parents,

The Rapid Transit Railway Company, under
the name of the Rapid Transit Bridge Com
pany, have advertised that they will apply for
a charter for a bridge over the Allegheny river
on July 6. The incorporators given are w. J..
Crawford, F. A. Rinehart, ]. II. Dunks, F. j..
Tener and Robert Simpson. John H. .Dalzell
and ]. d. Nicholson are also connected with the
company. The plan and route of the new line
were given in THE DISPATCH some time ago.
The company now propose to cross the Alle-
gheny river at or near Craig street, on the Al
legheny side, and connect with Pittsburg via
Fourth street. The route on the Allegheny
street is over the old route of the Rapid
Transit Company. which was chartered some
time ago BY German residents and not built.
About a month ago the old company sold its
rights to a new company, who now propose to
extend to Pittsburg by the route mentioned.
The company will have the new motor now

the proposed ronte, but the facts as given above
were at last given authority from the mouth of
one of the incorporators who would not allow
his name to be used.

Doctors VIII Investigate Causes OF Sickness
at Johnstowa.
Dr. II. c. Formad. Professor of Chemistry in
the University of Pennsylvania, is at the Sew
enth Avenue Hotel. Ths Professor has been
called by General Hastings to investigate the
causes of a choloroid epidemic prevailing in
Johnstown. He states that the symptoms are
very much like the cholera, and from what he
can understand the disease Is on the increase
The Adjutant General is the latest added to
the list of victims.
Dr. Formad will be assisted by Drs Wood
and Kirby, of Philadelphia, and he expects
some of the Pittsburg physicians will accom-
pany him. He will make chemical and
microscopical examination of the water and
food, and a thorough investigation into all the
phases of the complaint
The writer has been in Johnstown more or
less since the food, and knows that such a dis
ease is quite common among the workmen, and
it Is beginning to attack the officers at head
quarters. II can hardly be in the food, for the
latter live much better than the former. The
workmen complain that the water pipes are
broken in a number of places, and that the
water is frequently discolored with material
from the devastated territory. 1t is more than
probable that the doctors will find this one Of
the causes OF the trouble.
