arrested young man named Coyle at the
corner of Ohio and Sandusky streets on a
charge OF disorderly conduct. He fought
desperately and Officer Ditmer and Rounds
man Wilson were called to assist The boy
absolutely refused to walk, and laid down
on the street. There is no patrol box so
near the lookup, and a prisoner taken in
that vicinity is always walked to the
Mayors Office. The boy fought and yelled
and attracted large crowd, and as it is
known a crowd is always in sympathy with
a prisoner, it looked little blue for the ar
resting officers.
The crowd jostled them from side to side,
and made several feints to rescue the
boy, but the officers held on to
him. While Officer Noble Law in the gutter
with Coyle on top of him, Wilson tried to
pull the latter off, and burly colored man
attacked Wilson to make him break his
hold. Wilson let go of the prisoner and hit
the negro, who fell in the street, but before
he could be placed under arrest he broke
away ano ran.
Wilson then returned to Mobiles assist
ance, and Coyle kicked him in the abdo-
men, but he held on to him. Coyle, fighting
and screaming, was finally placed behind
the bars in the lookup. Several witnesses
to the affair were indignant at what they
termed the abuse of the prisoner, while
others said he was only one Of a bad crowd.
Officer Wilson became sick and had to go
off duty

tions of some hours earlier and called the
proprietor names. In consequence she was

MARsHELI., THE CASH GROCER.
Will Save You Money.


Stop minute, please. want to speak to
for the purpose of loaning money. Did you
ever hear or a bank which loaned money
without interest and without good security?
You never did. But this is what some peo-
pie think their grocer does. Did it ever
strike you this way? Groceries cost money,
and he might as well loan you the one as
the other.
If you are buying your groceries on time,
you can make up your mind you are paying
interest, and as your grocer exacts no Sc
curity your rate of interest is proportion
ately high.
I sell strictly for cash and make no ex-
ceptions. 1 have no losses to make up for
bad debts. As fast as my goods are sold
get my money, and by turning it over it
earns me more money. / have the largest
trade in Western Pennsylvania, and buy
cheap because buy in large quantities. I
can save you 20 per cent on your groceries,
Don't take my word for it but send for nv
weekly price list, and compare my prices
with what you are paying.
A special bargain for this week is canned
biackberries. Only 65c. per dozen. They
are fine goods and the cans alone would cost
you almost that much.
/ am making an addition to my stores
which, when completed, will give me the
largest salesroom in this part of the State
for the Retail Grocery trade, and will en-
able me to handle all orders promptly.
Give me a trial, will save you money.

There was to have been a meeting of the
employees OF the tube department of the
National Tube Companys' works, at McKees-
port, held in the Palace Rink at that place
last night, for the purpose of taking steps
to secure an advance in wages. The notices
of the meeting were not posted at the mill
until yesterday morning, and owing to in
sufficient notice being given there were very
few on hand. Another reason for the fail
ure of the men to respond to the call was
that yester day was pay day, and the major
ity of them had business to attend to on this
account
There are about 1000 men in the tube
works who are interested in the advance,
about $500 of these work by the day while
the balance are on "piece work." Common
labor is paid 81 40 per day, and con-
sidering that the price of pipe has gone up
several points within the past month, the
men claim they should be paid more They
ask for an advance of about 10 per cent.
The men are not organized, and nobody
had any idea who called the meeting. The
few men who responded to the call loitered
around the hall until they got tired, and
then went home. The men connected with
