KAUFMANNs' TAKEN BY STORM.
All Records of Previous Busy Days Broker
Vaafapdav

All Records of Previous Busy Days Broken
Yesterday.
Were you at Kaufmanns' Yesterday? Did
you see the rush, the crash, the jam? Did
you see the mighty tide Of humanity that
flowed to and from the mammoth building.
from o'clock in the morning until IL
o'clock at night? If you did not you have
missed one OF the greatest sights of your life,
and one that you would not likely have for
gotten soon. True. Kaufmanns' great store
has held many big crowds before, but all
previous instances of this nature sink into
insienifcance when compared with the un-
paralleled rush of yesterday. 1t seemed as
though every man and boy in the two cities
was bound to sport new suit for Easter
Sunday. But it was not only the suit de-
partment that was crowded. The shoe, hat,
furnishing goods and cloak departments
were all packed with eager and anxious pur-
chasers. In the evening the rush became so
overwhelmingly great that the several hun
dred salesmen on duty were inadequate to
wait on all customers promptly, and every
cutter, tailor, porter and errand boy of the
house had to be pressed into service. Even
the bookkeepers and correspondents had to
leave their desks and satisfy the cravings of
the bargain clamoring masses Many old
merchants doing business on Fifth avenue
and Smithfeld street came around during
the day. and all confessed to never having
seen such phenomenal business.

ONLY TWO MEN STRUCK,
But They Tied Up an Incline and Caused
Peck of Trouble.

But They Tied Up an Incline and Caused a
Peck of Trouble.
The residents of the hill at the head of
the South Twenty-second street incline who
went to market last night were badly dis
appointed, because they were obliged to
carry their baskets up the hill. The in
cline was not running because the engin-
eers had resigned their positions.
When the Twenty-second street incline
was built, Judge Mellon employed Charles
Slater and John Brown, two expert en-
gineers, at Mt. Pleasant. Everything
moved along smoothly until recently, when
the men notified Mr.. Mellon that they in
tended to quit. Arrangements were then
made by which they were to continue in
his service until other competent men
could be secured; but they left Friday
night.
The incline was run yesterday by mex
perienced engineers, but it was thought
best not to attempt to run it at night. No
one could be found last night who could
tell why Slater and Brown quit, they hav-
ing left the city.

BRUTALLY BEATEN.

The Wife of an Oil DriTler Near Stoop's
Ferry il Almost Killed by One Who
Should Be Her Protector.
Yesterday morning resident of Stoop's
Ferry, on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Rail-
way. who has had trouble with his wife
from time to time, assaulted her, as alleged,
on the highway near Coraopolis, where she
had made an information against him for
misconduct of some kind, and knocked her
down with club. He then attempted to
finish his work with stone, cutting severe
gashes on her head and face.
Fortunately man named Amos Higler
saw the occurrence and ran to the spot and
forced Shriver to desist. Higher had the
woman removed to the residence of man
named Braden and then forced Shriver to a
magistrates Office and had him committed
to Jail to await the result of the woman's
injuries, which, as some thought, might
prove fatal.
Shriver is we'll dr1ller. It is said that
he acts insanely at times. The neighbor-
hood was considerably stirred up over the
affair.
1t was stated that the husband and wife
had been piling up informations against
each other for some time; but there was so
much rumor as to the cause of the assault
that it was difficult to ascertain the exact
facts

learned that the corporation known as the
Duquesne Iron and Steel Company has i'm
ported Pinkerton detectives to coerce the
striking employees at their works
Resolved, That we condemn the action OF
said corporation for importing paid detectives
who make living by inciting men who have
not manhood enough to resist the encroach-
ments of organized capital.
Resolved, That we at all times sympathlZe
with the workingmen, whether organized or
not, when they have justice on their side. as
we believe the men now striking at the Du-
quesne Company have.
Resolved, That we extend to the strikers the
moral support and sympathy of this organiza-
tion in the struggle now going on.

A Temperance Orator Points out the Differ
ence Between Glasses.
About 200 people, mostly men, attended
the meeting in Salisbury Hall last night, in
the interest of the prohibition amendment.
John w. Moreland called the meeting and
made the opening address, pointing out the
benefits of temperance. He then introduced
Mr.. Walter T. Mills, editor of the
Statesman, of Chicago.
Mr.. Mills spoke for an hour, and ad
dressed his remarks chiefly to the working
men. He endeavored to show by illustra-
tions that the sober man was Of greater i'm
portance to community than the man who
spent his earnings for liquor. The sober
mans money, spent for the legitimate neces-
slties of life, keeps money in circulation
and gives more employment to men to sup
ply the demands of the consumers. The
family of the sober man wears better cloth
ing, eats better food and decorates his house
better, thereby giving somebody more en-
ployment.

DULL IRON TRADE EAST.

Hudson River and Lake Champlain Fur
naces Are Shut Down.
Jacob Reese returned yesterday from a
business trip to the East. He says the iron
trade is very dull. Three-fourths of the
furnaces along the Hudson river and on
Lake Champlain are idle, with no prospects
of starting soon.
The trouble is, Mr.. Reese says, that the
Eastern market is flooded with Southern
pig iron, and the New Yorkers are unable
to compete with them. Mr.. Reese added
that this competition would be kept up until
steel plants were started in the South.
