derIy, ByFue and Wise.
This telegram came from Scottdale last
night:
Considerable interest is being manifested
Hon. Edward Callaghan against T. V. Pow
derly, Hon. John r. Byrne and Peter Wise for
conspiracy. Mr.. Callaghan. when asked for

August John r. Byrne called at my store, and
showed me the Journal Of United Labor
wherein Powderly denounced me, claiming that
1t was vindicat1on of himself. / stated that
was done politically, and now wanted to be let
alone to attend to my business. Peter Wise,
who was present, said: mo, we will boycott
you; we Will ruin you in business" ordered
Wise out. A few days later Wise came into
the front part of the store, which had rented
to clothing firm, and asked If received any
beneht from the sales Of that part of the store.
On receiving an affirmative reply he stated that
boycott had been ordered on me, and that If
the clothing man was wise he would get out as
soon as possible, which he did.
Mr.. Callaghan says that he will push the
matter TO the end, and that he has plenty Of
evidence against the parties charged.

AN ALLEGHENY SUICIDE.
Morphia. whisky. Cigarettes and Bad Lack
Drive Man 70 Dearh.


Drive Man to Dearh.
s. P. Hill, an old telegraph operator, who
has been stationed at the Central Hotel,
Allegheny, for number Ofyears, committed
suicide yesterday morning about o'clock
by shooting himself through the head. THE
weapon used was q 32-caliber revolver, and
death was instantaneous.
Hill, who was an expert operator, was .
victim Of the morphis and liquor. habit, and
has been a mere physical wreck for some
years. He was also an inveterate smoker
OF cigarettes, the little paper-wrapped
rolls OF tobacco being scarcely ever out Of
his mouth. Some time ago he lost his posi-
tion, and this, coupled with his bad habits,
brought on q melancholia from which he
never recovered. According to a story told
BY Charles Heck, barkeeper in the Central
Hotel saloon, Hill was in there Tuesday
night. He was not exactly drunk. but
there was a wild look in his eyes, and he
seemed restless and i'll at ease. Mr.. Frank
Mccoy, proprietor Of the hotel, came into
the saloon, when Hill crossed over to
him, and, making motion to draw q re-
Yolver, threatened to kill him. The bar
keeper thereupon elected Hill. Mr.. Mccoy
also says that Hill often threatened in the
past to kill himself.
The suicide was committed in q room on
the second floor Of No. 90 North Diamond
street, next door to the Central Hotel. The
deceased was about 46 years of age, and lett
widow and one daughter, who is married.
The preliminary inquest was held yesterday
afternoon. The final inquest will be held
to-day.

Having heard some discussion among Al
leghenians about the suit entered recently
against Mrs. Kemp, school teacher Of that
city, for severely whipping one Of her pupils,
reporter tried to learn just what opinions
were held on the subject by the various per-
sons connected with trans-river educational
matters.
superintendent John Morrow could not
De 1ound, but President James s. Young, Of
tne Board OF Controllers, talked some on the
matter. Mr.. Young said:
:. 40 NOT wish to express an opinion as 10
tne merits or oemerits of any school teacher,
nor 90 wish to discuss the Kemp case, as
II my YET come before me in my official
saying that am opposed TO corporeal nun
lshment IN our schools. But when 4 sav
that, this question arises: what are YOU
going 70 propose in place of such punish
ment Ii you take the only course now
open, and suspend or expel refractory pu-
Pills, you drive them onto the street. thus
oefeatlng one OF the prime objects Of our
educational system. The question Of what
constitutes proper punishment Ii the school
room rises before the public more strongly
every Gay.
"Of eoursethe law allows corporal punish
ment In the school room; but if such punish
ment exceeds certain underlined limits, it
becomes assault and battery and punishable
assucn. II parent Furnishes his child too
severely, the punishment also becomes a.
sault and battery. So you see school teach
ers are in dilemma, because, if they punish
dlsoDedient and mischieVous pupils. theT
may De sued and if they do not punish
them, discipline is destroyed and the schools
might as well not be built"

NO VESTRY COMMITTEE.

Rev. Samuel Maxwell Says That He Was
Not Asked to Resign.
The trouble in Trinity parish seems as far
from settlement as ever. To increase the
general perplexity, rumor that the vestry
had appointed committee of three to wait
upon the rector, Rev. Samuel Maxwell, and
ask his resignation, was started. For the
purpose of ascertaining the truth or falsity
of the rumor, q DISPATCH reporter visited
Rev. Maxwell last night. In answer to in
quiries, the reverend gentleman said:
81 have not been waited upon by q COM
mittee from the vestry asking me to resign.
As for my not notifying the vestry that 1
would not nominate the late Mr.. Shoen-
berger. 1 told the vestrymen that if had
had the assurance that Mr.. Shoenberger
could nave been elected, would have NOM
mated him, and gladly. But how could he
have been elected? He was not a resident
of the parish, and therefore was disqualified
from holding the position. 1 have been
blamed as the cause of Mr.. Shoenberger's
defeat. 1 am not, as nv nominating him
would not have insured his election"
The rector refused to speak further on the
subject, but left it to be inferred that he was
prepared to fight it out on that line if it
took all winter.

A Man Whom the WOrkhouse, the Jail and
the Poor Farm Rejects.
Inspector McAleese last night! had q
problem which would puzzle any man to
solve, what to do with man that nobody
will have. William Kunzer, aged ", was
arrested yesterday morning ior being drunk.
The number of times which Mr.. Kunzer has
been arrested on the same complaint will
average about four times year in the last
80 years, and the authorities of the various
institutions are reluctant to take Mr.. Kun
zer on any terms.
The Inspector reviewed the situation and
said: "The man is too old and useless to
anybody, and nobody wants him, an&what
we are to do with him is something beyond
my knowledge. think some place should
be found for such people where they could
be kept without giving trouble TO the Police
Bureau and the great question is what shall
we do with such a man?"

INDIANA MINERS STARVING,

And Said TO be Ready to Resume Work In
Sheer Desperation.
The report that appeared in morning
cotemporary yesterday to the effect that the
striking miners at Brazil. Ind, after assem-
bly, in mass meeting, had decided to return
to work at the operators rates, is at least
premature. No meeting has yet taken
place, but mass meeting of the miners will
be held this evening to consider what steps
should be taken in the present extreme con-
ditions OF affairs. It is said that the men
are nearly at starvation point, and are
weakening in their opposition through lack
of support.
The first of the four entertainments given
under the auspices of L. A. 1907, K. of L.,
statesmen, in aid of the miners, came off last
evening, when number of sympathizers
filed the Cyclorama building, Allegheny,
to witness the Battle of Gettysburg. The
exhibition will be continued tonight, to-
morrow and on Monday evenings.

POSTMASTER LARKIE's PLANS.
q. s. Mail OmciaIs Confer With Him About
Pittsburg Mail Service.

J. Lowrie Bell, of Washington, General
Superintendent of the Railway Mail Ser
vice, and A. Burt, Superintendent of the
Fifth division of the service, with head
quarters in Cincinnati, were in the city yes
terday on business connected with the rail-
way mail service. Postmaster Larkin, it
appears, has made an application to the de-
partment to have the mails from the East
directed to Pittsburg divided on the mail
cars, before reaching this city, into patches
for the various carrier districts.
At present the Pittsburg mail comes to
this city in bulk, and must all be sorted in
the local Office. 1t happens that the mails
from the East, which are the heaviest re-
ceived, are often late, and arrive about the
same time as the mails from other points.
The local force, which is small, is swsmPed.
The reform will probably require an increase
of the number of railway postal clerks.
During the afternoon Messrs. Bell and Burt
visited Postmaster Larkin. and talked with
him about the matter. Superintendent Bell
was not prepared to say what decision would
be made.
Mr.. Bell departed last evening for the
West. He is making a general tour of the
railway mail lines, and will go as far West
as Kansas City.

The Sewickley Dairy Company held
special meeting in the St Charles Hotel to
discuss a proposition to 90 into the oil and
gas business. The company owns q large
tract Of land in the Sewickley valley, which
is along the line of recent oil developments.
At present the company is boring two
wells, and they expect to bring them in
in about ten days.
The indications that they will strike it
rich are quite good, and at the meeting
yesterday it was decided to postpone the
matter until the wells had been put down
and the territory tested. Mr.. Kidd Fleming
stated that concerning future developments
much depended on what could be obtained
in the line of favorable leases.
1t was denied that the company intended
to abandon the dairy business. This branch
will be continued as in the past.

Increase In Rates.

The Glass Manufacturers Decide Upon an
Increase In Rates.
Thomas Wightman, the well-known glass
manufacturer of this city, and Vice Presi-
dent of the Western Flint Bottle Associa-
ton, returned yesterday from Cincinnati,
where he had been in attendance upon the
meeting Of the association at that place
some days ago. The only business of i'm
portance transacted at the meeting was an
advance on the prices on flint bottles and
vials.
A resolution was passed that all prices
and quotations now in effect be Withdrawn
and new quotations made. The cause of
the advance is on account of the advance in
the prices Of raw material. Among the
other Pittsburgers present at the meeting
were Joseph S. Hamilton, President of the
association, and representatives from the
firms of Tibley Bros. and McCully & Co.
One of them stated that his firm had orders
on their books that could not be filed for
two months.

And If He Were. He Would Not be Able 70
Accept for Some Time.
Rev. I. n. Hays, whose resignation as
pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church,
of Allegheny, has been accepted, denies the
report that he has received call from the
Mcclure Avenue Presbyterian Church, of
Allegheny. DR.. Hays told a DISPATCH
reporter some time ago that he had received
several offers Of pulpits, but would not tell
from which churches the offers came. He
said last night, however. that the Mcclure
Avenue Church was not one of the number.
So far as accepting call is. concerned,
DR.. Hays cannot accept one from any
church until the pastoral relations between
him and his present congregation are dis
solved. AS has been repeatedly published
in THE DISPATCH, the Presbytery will
meet on the second Tuesday of December,
when action will be taken on the resigna-
ton. If it is decided to dissolve the pas
toral relations, the dissolution may be
ordered to take effect Immediately. or it may
be postponed until the end Of the year.
Then, and not till then, will Dr.. Hays be
able to accept a call.

men Was Denied.
A telegram was received from Washington
last night that Mr.. Edward Ford, President
of the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company, recent
ly wrote to the Treasury Department to the
effect that 80 skilled laborers were required
to keep their plant in operation, and that as
this was new industry in this country, it
was necessary to obtain the laborers from
abroad. He desired to be informed before
taking action in the matter if the importa-
ton Of the required laborers would be per-
mitted. Acting Secretary Batcheller to-day
informed him that he did not see how It
could be done, inasmuch as the alien con-
tract labor law is absolute on the subject
and must be enforced, adding that as plate
glass has been manufactured in this country
for over 20 years it could hardly be regarded
as new industry.
