LIVERYMEN NEXT.
They Are Making Arrangements to Form a
Trust for Their Interests.

They are making Arrangements to Form q
Trust for Their Interests.
The livery stable keepers on the South
side held meeting last night in the Miller
Bros. undertaking rooms, on Carson street,
for the purpose of discussing the ADVISABLE
ity of forming an organization for their
mutual protection. Mr.. J. f. Beinhauer was
elected Chairman pro tenn.
All the men present refused to divulge
anything about the objects of the proposed
organization, but the fact leaked out, never
theless, that they consider themselves i'm
posed upon by the bridge companies, who
ask them to pay toll for undertaking car
riages: Another fact was stated that some
of the liverymen charge each other too high
prices for helping them out In case of
emergency.
The liverymen expect, if they are or
ganized into union, they will not only be
able to fix better rate for the loan Of their
vehicles and horses, but they hope to bring
some of the bridge companies into an ar
rangement more satisfactory to them.
Mr.. Beinhauer said that he could not say
anything yet, because all the liverymen in
the city are to be asked to join the organiza-
ton,

BUSINESS FINISHED UP.
The Visiting Grocers Act on Some Routine
Matters and Then Elect Officers of the
Aaaortaffau

The Visiting Grocers Act on Some Routine
Matters and Then Elect Officers of the
Association.
Yesterday morning the State Retail
Grocers' Association tried to resuscitate a
resolution killed by them two years ago.
1t commits members of the association To
buy no goods from manufacturers who per-
nit peddlers TO handle their goods. The
effort failed.
In the afternoon the only question that
was discussed was, "Are labor organizations
against us in view of their attitude on the
collection bill?" The sentiment was that
the actions of the labor organizations in the
past was against the grocer.
A motion to reduce the per capita tn r
from 81 to 30 cents was adopted. The Board
of Directors presented resolution consoli-
dating the per capita tax and the legislative
tax funds.
Secretary R. A. Stevenson declined to he
candidate for Office again, and later in the
afternoon resolution was passed expressing
the regret of the association in losing his
services. Scranton was selected as the place
for the next meeting, and the date fixed for
the fourth Tuesday of April. 1890 No. The 1He
election of officers was then held with the
following result:

favor of the grousds taken, by Attorneys
Cohen, Ferguson, and possibly by Major A.
NJ Brown. all of whom were consulted by
the committee, and who have since been
studying up points of law in their defense.
However, the court may simply take the
papers to-day and fix time for argument.
Major Brown said yesterday that to get
the matter before the Supreme Court some
action was of course necessary In the lower
courts. 1t will depend upon what occurs
there. BE replied to reporters questions
that he had heard it was the intention to
take Brewer Darlington's case with the
bottlers and others up to the Supreme
Court eventually. As to the merits of the
cases the attorney courteously declined to
give an opinion for publication now. he
had not completed his examination OF the
points raised, and of course he would have
to submit them to clients first.
LAWYERS generally are divided on the
possibility of the other judges granting re-
hearings. Some say that judicial courtesy
will prevent Judges Ewing and Magee
from interfering with the findings of Judge
White. "Why," said one OF the leading
members of the bar, "a decision BY Judge
White in license case is judgment OF the
Court Just as much as sentence pro-
nounced in a criminal case, and all the
OL1er Judges cOmDluou CesuuOt OA1OS W
change or set it aside without Judge
Whites concurrence.
A QUIET MEETING.
While the committee was holding the
conference with Attorney Cohen Yesterday
afternoon about 80 of the unfortunate whole
sale dealers and brewers held meeting at
No. 60 Fourth avenue. They had simply
gathered to hear the committees report, and
in the committees absence only informal
conversations took place.
One of the men present was Charles
Hook, the wholesale wine and liquor mer-
chants in the Seventeenth ward. He is one
of the best known and most highly respected
citizens of Lawrenceville. Last year he
was in California when his license was
granted. This year no person ever dreamed
of his refusal, and it created q genuine SEN
sation. There has never been a remon-
STRANGE against him. Mr.. Fuhrer, a whole
saler who built one of the finest busi-
ness houses in the Fifteenth ward,
was also refused. He was at
the meeting, too. These gentlemen
say they were refused for selling whisky by
quarts and upwards in bottles. They still
insist the Brooks law allows them to do this,
and vet that was the sole reason Judge
sold drop of beer.
Both Messrs. Hook and Fuhrer call at
tention to the fact that several well-known
wholesale business dealers in the heart of
the two cities, whose largest trade is in
quart bottles, were granted licenses. They
give names to back their assertions.

NATURAL GAS EXPLOSION.

Several Buildings Burned at McKeespOrt
Yesterday, Two Men Seriously Burned
and Some Others Narrowly Escape In
jury.
The seven-story building known as Hotel
Gustave and the six-story residence adjoin-
ing, at McKeesport, both owned by John
Landmark, were destroyed by fire Yesterday
at noon. Natural gas exploded under a
boiler in the basement of the hotel and shat
tered the immense structure completely.
Landmark, who was sitting in the front
door of the house, was blown 30 feet and
was badly burned. The entire building
was in flames in two minutes, and several
male boarders, beside two women, were
badly burned in escaping from the building
with their lives. One woman jumped out
of second story window. Chief Meal
lister, of the city fire department, was
badly burned while in the burning build
ings adjoining the hotel.
Both of the large buildings, beside three
smaller ones, burned. A stiff wind was
blowing, and the city had a narrow escape
from a widespread confagration. Lund-
mark lost $40, 900 and has S11, 900 insurance.
Many people living in the vicinity were
big losers by household goods being de-
stroyed in moving out of their homes
during the time the element was raging.

ANTI.PROHIBIF1OEIsrs
VIII Appeal to the Bar Association to HslD
Them Out of a Fix.

Them Ont Of a Fix.
The Executive Committee Of the Anti
Prohibitionists held meeting last night in
Turner Hall on South Fourteenth street.
After the reports Of some of the delegates
had been heard and disposed of the chair
man, Mr.. Stork, requested the delegates 70
enter upon general discussion.
Mr.. Becker at once took the floor, and, in
the most definite and explicit terms Ger
man can use when he is angered, he crit
icised the action Of Judge White in refus-
ing so many licenses. He said that the
Judge had not fulfilled the obligation Of
his Office, because he had not treated the
applicants impartiaIly.
Mr.. Beeker's statements were indorsed
by everybody present, and the discussion
concluded by the passing Of resolution 70
appoint committee Of three from the Exec
utive Committee of the Association to draft
request to the Allegheny Bar Association
for the purpose of considering the adVisa-
bility Of examining into the qualifications
OF Judge White touching arbitrary refusals
to grant license
This motion was adopted by reclamation,
and the request is to be presented on next
Saturday afternoon.
The committee also decided to hold mass
meetings in the future for the purpose Of
getting everybody interested in the fight
against prohibition.
A resolution was also passed that dele
gates of 40 societies of the Southside, who
are embodied in the Anti-Prohibition So
ciety take part in parade on Washington's
Centennial Inauguration day.

Operator, Almost at His 80.
Thomas J. Byrne, a well-known train dis
patcher and telegraph operator of the Penn
sylvania Company. is lying at his home on
Fulton street in dying condition. He has
been suffering for the past two months from
complication of diseases, the result OF
overwork. He was well known as the day
operator in the baggage room of the Union
station about three years ago. He was then
promoted to the Office of Superintendent
Starr, in Allegheny, and short time after
ward was given the responsible position Of
dispatcher.
He is the brother of John Byrne, one OF
the best known operators in the country, and
now with the Western Union Company in
this city.

THE COKE TRADE BETTER.

Nothing Settled About II, However, With.
out a Syndicate.
The coke operators do not seem to be wor-
rying as much as they did few weeks ago.
Trade seems to be picking up little; but
noneof them have much to say on the sub
ject.
The only thing that will boom the coke
trade is syndicate; but it is almost impos-
sible to form an organization that will be
satisfactory to all producers. Every man in
the trade is doing businessNfor himself.

Saturday Programme.
The distinguished guests for the Americus
Club banquet will arrive in the city Satur-
day morning. They will be taken sight
seeing and return to their hotels at o'clock
for lunch. As the reception at the Seventh
Avenue begins at o'clock and the banquet
at o'clock there will be no time for re-
ception at the club house for the general
public. Therefore it will be omitted.
The number OF seats reserved for distin-
guished guests is larger this year than Gus
tomary, but it has been filed up. The
time is necessarily limited by reason of the
banquet taking place on Saturday night,
yet there will be three hours allotted to
toasts. The banquet will be brought to an
end before II o'clock.

Which Leads to His Arrest.

John Buck was lodged in Jail last night

a jewelry store which was robbed lately.
The man was arrested in peculiar way.
He had given lot of jewelry to a man
named Patrick Brown, who was arrested as
tramp in Coraopolis last night. Brown
said that the jewelry had been given to him
by Buck, and on his description of the man
the detectives found Buck last night near

THE BEE. l-CATTLE-The market to-
day was slow and weak, contrary to general
expectations, as the eastern markets were
strong, and the receipts at western points
were not large, while the receipts here could
not be considered heavy. The cause of the
depression, however, was the lack of the
eastern and the foreign demand. The ship
pers only took 1776 cattle yesterday, against
43Os one week ago, The break in the British
cattle market on Monday caused depres-
sion in the export demand, and for that
reason good heavy export cattle sold to-day
as low as S375tG390 or at about the lowest
price ON record. Two lots of very fine
cattle were sold to Doud Il Iiegler to-day at
$3.50, but there were not many cattle good
enough to reach 800 Late yesterday
buyer paid Si.05 for 10 head of fancy 1,575 lb.
cattle. The heavy cattle to-day sold 50ll0c
lower, and trade was dull. The eastern

over. The prices on common, rough cattle
were about the lowest on record. Choice to
