OPEN ALL DAY AGAIN.
The Druggists Are Not Unanimous, Hence
They VIII All be Open Again Next
Sunday, and Sell just as They Think

The Druggists Are Not Unanimous, Hence
They VIII All be Open Again Next
Sunday, and Sell just as They Think
Proper.
The druggists are going to keep their
stores open all day on next Sunday. Thus
was decreed at meeting of the Druggists
Association, yesterday afternoon. Louis
Emanuel, the President, read two letters to
the members, one from J. F. Neely, the
Secretary, who was absent on account of
the death of friend, and one from Mr.. F.
R. Fleck, of Allegheny. The latter ad-
vised the society to keep their stores closed
altogether on Sunday, except for prescrip-
ton business. A note put up in the win
dow to that effect would soon educate the
people to the custom.
After the letters were read, Mr.. Robert
Christy said that he did not think the plan
of opening the stores for few hours in the
morning and in the evening would work
we'll, because there was no unanimity of
action. He then proposed that in the future
every druggist keep open all day, but con-
fine his business to the filling of prescrip-
tions. Being requested to put that as a
motion, he did SO, and it was unanimously
passed.
John Beck, of Wylie avenue, and Mr..
Doerfinger, said that the partial opening
of the drugstores had proved failure last
Sunday. Mr.. Beck stated that it would
only tend to take customers away from the
members Of the association and bring them
to outsiders. Everybody appeared to agree
with that, and the meeting adjourned, after
the Secretary was ordered to notify all the
druggists of the two cities of the decision.

A CABLE ROAD ON PAPER.
A Shrewd Real Esrnte Man Who Wants to
Build a Road to Williamsburg to Boom

A Shrewd Real Estate Man Who Wants to
Build a Road to Williamsburg TO Room,
His Property Along the Line.
There is a real estate man in Pittsburg
who is hustler. He has a scheme to build
cable road from the Point to Williamsburg,
distance of ten miles or more. His pur-
pose is to boom a lot of real estate lying
somewhere between the two rivers, and
bounded on the east by the Williamsburg
gas we'll.
This shrewd agent even went 50 far as to
employ Selwyn Taylor, prominent civil
engineer, to draw up the plans. The latter
gentleman did so on huge sheet OF paper.
and verify, it must be confessed, that the
road looks pretty enough on parchment.
Mr.. Taylor, however, was careful to tell
another real estate man, who let a reporter
into the secret, that he did not think the
road was practicable. ''But then, he added,
"my employer is pushing fellow, and will
apply for charter next week"
According to the proposed plans, which
have been worked out in detail, the cable
road will come down Third avenue, make
the loop ON Liberty street, go up Fourth
avenue to Ross street. From that point by
way of Old avenue the road will strike
Forbes street, and continue in that direction,
running for short distance over the Fifth
avenue track until Morgan street IL reached.
Then the line will turn up Breeds Hill road
to Stanton avenue, and striking the country
beyond will make the grand turn in viii
kinsburg.
This is the road in embryo which Mr..
Taylor has worked out for the real estate
agent. It remains to be seen how much it
will boom the property.

His Absence.
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie just now is the
busiest man in the city, as the death Of Mr..
D. A. Stewart, late Chairman of Carnegie
Bros. & Co., and the new arrangement
made at the Hartman Steel Company, at
Beaver Falls, has caused some confusion in
the firm. In addition to this Mr.. Carnegie
must look after his interests in the South
Penn road, and also his interests in the H.
O. Fr;ck Company's Coke Works. The
wages at these works, as is known, have
been 81 per cent higher than at the other
ovens in the region, and will continue until
February 1.
There was meeting in the Office yester-
day afternoon, but nothing could be learned
of the object or the result.
Mr.. Carnegie was very busy at 5 o'clock,
when a representative of this paper called,
and attendants said he could not be seen,
but would answer leading questions if they
were important. The following questions
were reduced to writing and sent in to the
steel magnate:
els it true that you purchased Mr..
Phipps' interest for $4,000, 900 in the steel
works?
Answer-"Mr. Phipps' interest was never
offered for SALE
"Will Mr.. H. M. Curry oor Mr.. George
Louder succeed Mr.. D. A. Stewart as Chair
man of Carnegie, Phipps & Co.."
Answer-'That matter will not be settled
for some time yet"
"It is said that you and Mr.. John Walker
will buy the Graf, Bennett & Co. plant at
Millvale and turn it into construction
mill. Is this correct?"
'I never heard of the report"
SIS there anything new in the South Penn
Railroad matter?"
81 do not know of anything that would
be of interest to the public
This closed the interview by proxy.

. In THE CROWD.

Arrests Made Yesterday ut the Scene of the
Accident-Incidents of the Day Yer,
Briefly Noted.
Two young men, who gave their names a.
James n. Armstrong and John Quinn
were arrested at the corner of Diamond
alley and Wood street yesterday afternoon
for picking pockets in the crowd. Officer
Madison and Inspector Whitehouse made
the arrest. Both fought desperately. Arm
strong threw couple of pocketbooks away
on the road to Central station. They were
recovered. Ope of them was the property
of Mrs. Robert Davi, of Sandusky street,
Allegheny. Forty-nine dollars were found
in Armstrong; pockets.
John Kelly and John Frame were arrested
last evening by Detective Sol Coulson in
the crowd at the corner of Wood street and
Diamond alley as suspicious characters.
Kelly drew revolver on the officer, but
was promptly collared and locked up.
A young man, who was working in one
of the rear rooms of building looking upon
the Wiley building, says that he counted
13 men on the sixth floor of the building,
just before the walls fell. He called COM
panion's attention to the unlucky number
AS he did so the walls fell.
The owners of the building occupied by ].
r. Weldin,& Co. state their loss will amount to
about 5000 They think the building occu-
pied by Rea Bros & Co. can be repaired w.
Thoma, whose son occupied the leather store
says his loss of the building will amount to
$1,000. Weldin's loss is placed at about $40, 000
Chief Brown has informed H. Watts & Co.
that they will have to vacate the premises they
now occupy, as that building will have to be
torn down as well as the Weldin and Rea
buildings.

rHE GovERNMENr PURCHASE.

In July last your Board of Managers declared
dividend of 6 per cent on the capital stock,
payable per cent in cash and 2 per cent in
stock, and they have this day declared semi
annual dividend of per cent, similarly pay
able.
Reference has been made in the reports of
the years 1856 and 1857, to the proposed purchase
of the works of the company by the United
States. During the past year provision was
inserted in the river and harbor bill in
Congress which became law, instruct
ing the Secretary of War to institute pro-
ceedings to take lock and dam No. Z, in
case of his failure to purchase the said
work from the company. Your Board of Man
ayers, on being applied to by one of the United
States Engineers to know if they would sell
said Lock and Dam No. to the Government,
declined to do so. whereupon proceedings have
been recently instituted in the United States
Circuit Court at Pittsburg for the condemna-
tion and purchase of thatwork; which proceed
iEg is being resisted by the company the result
of which 1t IS impossible for us to predicate,
and we can only refer to what we said in our
last report, feeling assured that in no event
will the Government succeed in depriving us
of our property without just compensation.

ALL DAY LONG.
How the Work Among the Ruins Yesterday
Was FaciIitated-WalIs Removed, and
the Progress Made by Rescuing Parties.

How the Work Among the Ruins Yesterday
Was FaciIitated-WalIs Removed, and
the Progress Made by Rescuing Parties.
At o'clock yesterday morning an engine
and derrick were erected at the ruins. In
this way the work of removing the large
timbers and iron posts was greatly lightened
The west side wall of the Wiley building
was torn down at noon. This additional
debris will delay the search for bodies, but
as it was in such dangerous condition it
had to be removed. A young man named
Pearsall, in the employ of Jos.
Walton & Co., covered himself
with glory in this job. He became disguised
at the manner in which the work was being
done and volunteered his services. The offer
was accepted, and he, with the skill of
veteran cowboy, threw rope over portion
of the wall yet standing. About this time
Chief Evans commenced to give him orders.
He replied that he would watt brick in
the direction of the Chief if he would in
terfere with his work. He passed an inch
and-a-half rope around the chimney, blocks
and tackle were attached to telegraph poles
and the end of the rope wound on the spool
of the hoisting engine. The work of pull
ing the chimney down had been tried with a
smaller rope, winch broke when strain was
placed upon it. The larger rope withstood
the strain. The wall fell with terrible
crash, but no one was injured. Mr.. Pear
sail was asked to take charge of the rescu-
ing party, and his manner of handling men
is winning him plenty of praise
The side wall of the Weldin building has
been securely braced. 1t looked dangerous
and it was thought best to be cautious. The
work in Weldin's cellar is going on rapidly
large gang of men is employed in the work of
removing the debris which surrounds the
bodies.
The afternoon passed without incident. No
bodies were recovered after l:30 until late
hour in the night. Large crowds surrounded
the district. which had been shut off by
police lines, through which it was
impossible to pass, unless you were connected
with the rescuing party. A gentleman who
was around the wreck all day has gotten several
samples of the mortar that was used. He says
he will demonstrate that the mortar was
below the standard that ought to have been
used.
The alley which runs between the two build
ings has been cleared No bodies were found,
although it was expected that some persons
had met death here The cellar of the barber
shop has also been cleaned out but no more
bodies were found there.

member of the latter local.
Special Agent A. NJ. Schwartz, of the
Carpenters Council, has furnished the
council with detailed report of the in
juries and deaths of the men. james Watts,
who was so badly injured, was member of
No. $50. Samuel Brown, ST., father of the
young man killed, was member Of No.

who received bad scalp wounds, were also

of the body they will return and attend she
funeral of Mr.. Brown, at 2 P. NJ.
Manager Wilt, of the Grand Opera
House, yesterday received a telegram from
Prof. Hermann, who stated that he would
gladly give his share of the proceeds of next
Wednesdays matinee to benefit the families
of those who were injured or killed in the
accident. The entire matinee receipts will
therefore be devoted to this charity. A

Wednesday afternoon.
Yesterday the ConinloTler and Glass Worker
started relief fund for the benefit of the
union men who were injured and the families
of those killed in the Diamond street disaster.
Within an hour $40 had been raised among
labor agitators. Subscriptions will be received
at the office of the COmmorer and Glass
Worker, Fifth avenue. This fund is for the
benefit of union men, many of whom were
sufferers The money will be distributed by
committee, of which Eccles Robinson will be
chairman.
A matter which created great deal of COM
ment on the part of the general public yester-
day was the fact of Booth e. Finn taking
charge OF the work OF clearing away the debris.
A good deal of conjecturing was going on
whether ther had come voluntarily to do the
work for nothing or whether they were paid
for their work by the city as has been reported.
Several of the prominent officials connected
with the Department of Public Safety, who
were questioned on the subject replied in
very indefinite manner. From what could be
gathered through the information, however.
there seems no doubt that the city authorities
told Booth & Finn to go ahead with their work
and they would see that the firm is paid for its
trouble.
The rescuing party is not allowed to become
hungry. They were fed yesterday at Mlller's,
Newel's and Bihlman's restaurants, no charge
being made for their food
