great success that the republican national
committee have determined TO en-

rslsed 100000 so quickly for Indiana after
young Mr.. Harrison's visit TO their city
last year. Dispatches received here from
some of si'a ra0--NF@pr managers in
Montana indicate Ikzt they are greatly
alarmed over the outlook there, but
Mr.. Russell Harrison taxes a more cheerful
view of it and believes that republican sue
cess is certain. Ths national committee
have great confidence in Mr.. Harrison's
Judgment, but they are evidently making
preparations for q hot campaign. They
will be governed by Mr. Harrison's recon-

mated area of square miles drained by the
Potomac above tide water, approximately

May 80, to 2 o'clock A. M, May 81. 1889, or
a period of IA hours; averaging six inches at
least for the whole area of territory drained,
would give four and one-half cubic feet
rair-fall for each square yard. Therefore
the aggregate of territory drained would be

THIRTY-FIVE SIGNATURES.
The Ironworkers' Scale Getting There and
Trouble Averted.

Trouble Averted.
Four more iron firms signed the ANAL
gamated Association scale yesterday, in
creasing the number of signers to 35. The
new ones are Lindsay & McCutcheon, the
Star Rolling Mill, Of Allegheny; W. J.
Hammond & Sons, of Second avenue; the
United States Rolling Stock Company, of
Admission, Ala; the Scottdale Iron and
Steel Company, of Scottdale.
Several other large firms are expected to
sign as soon as the repairs are completed,
and the two largest iron firms in this city
will put their signatures to the scale % soon
as some alterations are made. They are
Jones & Laughlins aud Oliver Bros. &
Phillips. 80
A conference with these firms was to have
been held yesterday, and President Weihe
started out to Jones & Laughlins'. Dur
ing his absence telegram was received
calling him elsewhere, but when
messages were sent to him at Jones &
Laughlins he was not there. Secretary
Martin would not say what other firms had
asked for conference, but seemed to feel
during the day.
1t is safe to say that fully one-half Of the
large iron concerns governed by the Anal
gamated scale have signed, and the others
are expected to drop into line before many
days.
1t is stated that Dilworth, Porter & Co.,
the firm that has been operating a non-
union mill for about year have paid off
their men. This may have some sig
nifcance, but no person could be found who
had any information on the matter.
Singer, Nimick & Co., who are operating
a non-union mill closed down tor repairs,
but will resume in a week.

Mr.. II. Robertson, a native of Scotland, but

contained q reddish. brick-colored sediment,

the morning. and as he gradually grew weaker,
his stomach became affected. His appetite
became poor. and he was constantly annoyed
with sour eructations of gas from his stomach
after eating, and on account Of the kidneys not
performing their function properly, his blood
became charged with rheumatic poison. SO that
he had much pain about his shoulders and diff
ferent parts OF his body. As he became more
emaciated he began to cough, and he felt much
rightness and weight across his lungs. In
speaking of the matter one day, he said:

Opposed by Well.Known Property Owners
ON Streets Interested.

Opposed by well-Known Property Owners
ON Streets Interested.
John II. Hampton. Esq, appeared before
the Councilmanic Committee on Surveys
yesterday to protest against the widening
of st. Clair street, from Penn avenue to
Rural street, East End. He referred to a
remonstrance signed by 25of the 26 property
holders on the street. He said the street
was now 40 feet wide, which was plenty for
all the traffic upon it and all the residents
wished. To widen it would destroy nearly
every house upon it and damage many of
the lots to a considerable extent. thus
making the widening very expensive as
we'll as unnecessary. Mr.. Hampton's own
house would have to be torn down along
with the Others He failed to see who had
started the movement for widening the
street, as none of the parties interested
wanted it.
Mr.. Bigelow was questioned concerning
the street by the committee, and said that
the width of the present street from Penn
avenue a mile and half east was 80 feet,
excepting the two squares included in the
ordinance. The object was to secure uni
form width along its entire length, and a
up had asked for it..
Messrs. Evans, Warmcastle and Baum
were appointed to investigate the matter.
When the ordinance for the location Of
Grazier street from Fifth avenue to Franks
town avenue was taken up, Mr.. Finley
Terrence addressed the committee, saying
that while the proposed location would
make straight street, it would run right
through his property and ruin three new
brick houses Of his, and through the houses
of several other owners. He thought the
improvement unnecessary, expensive and
not local improvement. This ordinance
was also referred to the special sub-commit-
tee, as was one relocating Black street from
Hiland to Clearview avenue. Mr.. Petty,
representing Mrs. Catherine Negley, oD-
posed the last-named ordinance, and pre-
sented petition. signed by large number
OF the residents, asking that the street be
left at its present width Of 30 feet instead of
changing it to go, an the ordinance contem-
