congratnlates his fellow-workers on the sue
cess which has attended their efforts to unite
the scattered forces of labor, and recalls the
circumstances under which the A. f. of L.

1.-THE trade union, the most bitterly at
tackled and denounced institution in the
worlds history. has successfully withstood
the open assaults of capitalists and poll
ticians, while calmly repelling the secret
Vaccinations of conspirators within the very
camp of Labor" He maintains that work.

better qualified to adjust any difficulties that
may arise with their employers than men
who are unacquainted with the conditions
of that business; deprecates Sympathetic"

that "open organization is the best form of
organization, and that the time has now ar
rived to openly, calmly and fearlessly assert
the claims of labor"
The LIST of May next is set as the date
when the claims of the united labor organ

ANOTHER CHURCH.
The Lufheraus Will Erect One ir Lawrence
VILE 20 Cost $50 600.


The. Lawrenceyille English Lutherans,
who have been worshiping in the hall above
the Arsenal Bank, corner of Forty-third
and Butler streets, for the past II months,
are going to erect $50, 900 church and schoel
on Fisk street. The Lutherans who
live in this part of the city organized them
selves into congregation about Is months
ago. The only available place they could
get to conduct their services was the third
floor of hall. This place is yery incon-
venient and has initiated somewhat against
them, and the membership has consequently
been very limited. Rev. Britt, the pastor.
speaking to DISPATCH reporter about this
matter said:
Though we have not numerically a
strong membership, yet Lawrenceville is
full Of the adherents to our faith. We de-
cided to build substantial church in the
center of the community. So we went to
work Immediately, and vacant lot on Fisk.
street and two others in the district were
offered to Us. The Fisk street lot, however,
is the best adapted for our needs, and We
expect to close the purchase for 1t in few
days. Its value is about 81, As soon
as the purchase has been concluded we in
tend to erect Sunday school in the rear of
the lots This building, it is estimated, will
cost at least $4,000. Later we will put up
handsome church, facing on the street, to
cost 10000, in the quaint Queen Anne
style of architecture"

The Hebrew Operatic Singer Sends Her
Mother $40 Per Week.
Several members of the Hebrew Opera
Company which is playing in the Forbes
street Turner Hall visited Agent O'Brien's s
Office yesterday having with them little
Emma TOmasefsky, the child actress. They
corroborated the story in yesterdays DIS
PATCH, and gave Mr.. 0'Brien some addi-
tional particulars concerning her parents.
The girls mother is in New York, and it
was proven to Mr.. O'Brien's satisfaction
that her little daughter sends to her $40
week. The father, it was said by the girls
brother, was formerly connected with the
company, but was discharged because he
was suspected of making false returns of
ticket sales. In addition to making his
complaint to the Philadelphia Humane So
ciety the father wrote letter to Hebrew
lady in this city endeavoring to persuade
her to break up the company. Agent
O'Brien says that he is satisfied that little
Emma is being we'll cared for, and that he
will not interfere in the matter.

We MAY BIZ HAPPY YET.

Natural Gas to be More Effective and a Joy
TO Both Purveyor and Consumer.
1t is said the Fuel Gas and Electrical
Engineering Company, one of the Westing-
house adjunct companies, will this winter
furnish consumers of natural gas with fuel
economizers in the shape of specially con-
structed burners that will give the same
heat as at present enjoyed from specified
amount of gas with a consumption of 80 to
30 per cent Of that amount. Now if the
registers can be induced to emulate Wash
ington and the price of fuel is not raised
and consumers get the same service at 80 to
80 per cent of present cost and the COM
panies can continue to make dividends,
what is there to prevent us from being
happy?
Philadelphia Gas stock sold lower yester-
day than ever before, but the proposed
burners may have the effect to put it beyond
par again.

Alderman Porter was absent from his
Office during the larger part of yesterday.
Many attempts were made to see abe Squire
but he seemed to hold himself aloof from the
reporters. However, he was caught, and
he said during the interview that he was
absolutely clear of all the allegations that
had been made against him. He stated that
under no circumstances would he settle a
case in an illegal way. His business was
done above board, and any costs that he had
received were obtained according to law and
by virtue of his Office. The Alderman said:
Il have never charged an illegal penny
during my aldermanic career, which has
extended II years. l have never charged an
extra bill of costs. Carney never was a con.
stable in my Office, he never made an in
formation before me, nor did he serve war
rant. The man was illiterate. He could not
read or write, and was, therefore, incapaci-
tated from taking such position. The man
has not been in my Office for the last six
months, and do not know his whereabouts
Ny arrest was not at the instigation of the
police department, but L believe 1t was
prompted by a Judge. The charge that 1
took S35 from Mrs. Clinton is ab-
solutely false. I discharged her through
lack of evidence. 1 did not even receive
the cost from her, and none of my men re-
ceived any. About the fortune telling cases,
there is not one word of truth in them. Mrs.
McMinnamen was committed to the work.
house and her husband was fined S100 and
costs. 1 discharged the Curry woman
through sympathy. She had lot of chill
dren and was in poor circumstances"
Constable Lige Sheppard half brother
of the Alderman, denied any completely in
extorting money from Mrs. Clinton.
The police had information Yesterday that
Constable Tom Carney was in Wheeling.
His arrest is expected in day or two. He
is wanted on several charges outside of the
Porter conspiracy charge, and is said to
have fed from the city about a week ago.

is HE RESPONSIBLE?

DR.. Vankirk, of West Newt6u, subpoenaed
for a Coroner's Inquest.
Coroner's Clerk Grant Miller went to
West Newton last night to serve subpoena
on DIR. B. Vankirk. The latter is wanted at
the Coroner's inquest on the death OF
Charles E. Swanson. who was injured on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Nc
Keesport last Friday.
Swanson died Friday evening, and at the
Coroner's inquest on Monday the testimony
OF DR.. Black, of McKeesport, and of Joseph
Neel, conductor Of the train, tended to
show that Swanson's death was largely due
to the imperfect manner in which DR.. Van
kirk had bandaged Swanson's crushed leg.
They testified that the bandage had been
placed below the knee when it should have
been above. DR.. Vankirk claims that he
bandaged the leg properly, and had bound
it above the knee.

There was considerable fun at the hearing
in the Mcknight claim ease against the
State for work done by the former at Johns
town yesterday. The first witness called
was Mr.. Mcknight. He testified to the ac-
chracy of the accounts handed in and ap-
proved by Colonel Hill. he testified that
when he was given the last payment he was
asked to sign receipt in full, but refused
to do so.
Earle Gresh, boy residing at Norris
town and one of the State timekeepers at
Johnstown, provoked considerable mirth by
explaining the methods by which he kept
the time of McKnight's men and then
checked the rolls with Meningitis time
keepers. He said heawent to work about 10
A. M, and could not do so earlier on ac-
count of selling cigars He stated that he
stood on the stone bridge at the drift, 300
yards away from the men, and took down
the time they worked. He claimed to be
fully able to count the men at a.distance of
900 feet. Attorney Mckee got him badly
ratified at times and he was allowed to retire
after saying that he had men working on
June 81. r-..-
James Mcdowell testified concerning the
tools belonging to the State that had been
taken out of Meningitis car by order of
Colonel Hill.
A. c. Brasheer was timekeeper tor the
State at Kernville. He checked his book
with Mr.. Harrison's and found rs men
short He counted the men when they went
to dinner, and still found the actual number
to be % less than that turned in by Nc
Knights man.
Colonel S. W. Hill testified that there
was a great deal of trouble keeping the time
of teams. The foreman claimed that any
soldier or person in uniform would take
possession of the teams and put them at some
other work. Meningitis men, he said,
were badly handled. Mcknight claimed
that he was feeding Coburn's men and could
not get them separated. There was more
trouble with Meningitis men than with all
the rest. A number of the men seemed to
have nothing to do. and it could not be told
if they worked at day or night. 1t was
rumored that Coburn's men would work one
day and get Mcknight check and then not
work any more. He endeavored to fix
the matter up, but could never get any sat
isfaction from Mcknight. Meningitis
affairs were in chaos and General Hastings
gave assistance to straighten matters. A
settlement was made with Mr.. Mcknight,
and he received S6,093 So June 27. He
was allowed his commission of 5000 80 out
of the relief fund. A claim was received
from Mcknight for S765 40 for tools taken
