ABOUT ANOTHER COKE DEAL.
Vague Rumors About the Moore Company
Selling Out Denied.

Vague Rumors About the Moore Company
Selling Out Denied.
A number Of vague rumors were flying
about the streets late last night to the effect
that the H. G. Frick Coke Company had
purchased the plant of the ConnellsvIlle
Coke Company, and that the same firm
had bought out the J. W. Moore
Coke Company. About six weeks ago
The DISPATCH exclusively announced the
sale of the Leisenring, or Connellsville
Works, to the Frick Company, and also
published details of the negotiations pend
ing between the Frick and Moore Com
panies. For the purpose of ascertaining
if the Moore Company had really sold out,
reporter called upon O representative of
the latter at his home last night. The
gentleman denied that his firm had sold out,
and said:
81 have been away from home for a day,
and if such deal was made the negotiations
were completed within that time. If the
sale took place would know of the decker,
but In this case do not believe there is a
word of truth in the rumor so far as it re-
lates to our company.
''Mr. Moore was out of town since Satur-
day until this morning, when he spent q
few minutes in the Office. Mr.. Atcheson
has also been away, and I do not see who
could have been conducting the negotia-
tions. I think someone started the old
rumor, which has been written up time and
again in your paper. Nc, do not know of
any other plant being negotiated for"

This is the nearest mountain resort to
Pittsburg. Families from this city occupy
many of the cottages. East End people
have taken fancy to the place, the families
OF George Finley, J. s. Dawson, Finley
Terrence, A. X. Henderson, s. Schafer, W.
Jeteries, f. j. Kellar and Mrs Emma
Scott, all from that part of Pittsburg being
among the cottagers. Other Pittsburg and
Allegheny people living on the grounds
are Mr.. Smiley, Rev. Mr.. Robertson,

1t was q pretty sight in the woods last
night. Lights of all kind illuminated
very dense forest. It is not like the open
grove in which most campmeetings are
usually held, but is one of the grand, leafy,
silent stretches of forest peculiar to the
Allegheny Mountains. The association owns
about go acres, having a frontage Of about
1000 feet on the south side of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad and nesting at the foot of
Chestnut Ridge. The ground rises from the
road, shedding the water from the center of
the ridge to both sides. About 20 acres
road is cleared and the remainder of
the land, which lies in an oblong square, about
200 feet above the Pennsylvania Railroad. is
covered with thick and healthy growth of
second crop forest, in which are located the
cottages and large auditorium, at the edge
of which stands the hotel.
The plan of the encampment proper is in
the form of six-pointed star, each ray or
point being an avenue. In the center of
this star is located the auditorium on plot
OF several acres. There are from 125 to 130
good comfortable houses, two-stories high,
all with the double porch in front.
This ground, by reason of its freedom from
fogs and its light, dry air and dry winds,
and especially its copious supply of pure
soft water of indisputsble purity, is some
thing of a sanItarium. 1t is 48 miles from
Pittsburg.

The women's Christian Temperance
Union met yesterday at the Third United
Presbyterian Church, Allegheny. In the
absence of Mrs. Campbell, the President,
Mrs M G. Smailes acted as Chairman, and
in her opening address said that the enc
mics of the w. G. T. U. were now exulting
in victory which bids fair to abolish all
observance of the Sabbath. Miss McCon-
nell, the Treasurer reported total deposit
OF 1914 60, and balance of $170 Is. Five
hundred and eight dollars and sixty cents
were spent during the last campaign for the
constitutional amendment
Mrs. II. c. Campbell sent a letter
OF resignation, which was accepted. The
annual meeting will be held the second
Tuesday in September, but the programme
has not been arranged yet. Then talk
was indulged in, and the Young Women's
Union claimed that they had not had fair
show last year. The matter was referred to
the annual meeting.
Mrs Rainey asked that aid be sent to
the Johnstown W. G. T. o., whose men,
bers had suffered in the food. This was the
signal for lively succession of indignant
speeches from the State Secretary and other
officers, who stated that large amount Of
goods had been sent to Johnstown long ago,
and if the people in Johnstown had not got
anything it was simply because they had
not asked for it. If they did not want things
bad enough to ask for them it was their own
fault if they did not get them.
Mrs. Sands, of Wallace Union, of the
church at the corner of Van Braam and
Locust streets, gave notice that she would
offer the following amendment to be Incor-
porated with the preamble to the constitu-
ton of the W. c. T. u:

CLINTON MEN TO STRIKE.

They Say They Will do it to Aid the Men at
the Sligo MILL
The iron workers of the Clinton mills in
Sligo last night threatened to strike unless
a settlement was made BY the firm, with the
men at Sligo mill. The latter struck yes
terday afternoon, on account of the inishers
being ordered to work non-union iron from
the Solar Works. The finishers quit about
/ o'clock, and the puddlers went out after
taking out their heat. About 400 men
went on strike, and if the employees of the
Clinton join, 200 more will be idle.
Phillips, NImick s. Co., own the Sligo
mill, and have leased the Clinton from
Friend and Hofstot. The puddlers at the
latter works make muck-iron for the former
and all the men are members of the Anal
gamated Association. A number of the Clin-
ton men stated last night that, if the trouble
was not settled to-day, they would go out
with their brothers.
The strike at Sligo mill was not ordered
by the Amalgamated Association, but the
sction was an individual matter with the
employees: A committee of the strikers
from the Solar Works waited upon them
and said they had traced IL carloads of
muck-iron from the Solar to Sligo. When
the men heard OF this they appealed to
Manager Bailey and said they would strike
If the iron was run into the mill. The man
ager refused to yield, and the men quit.
/ It is probable an agreement will be made
in a few days, as the firm has large orders,
which must be filled. They have been
running day and night on orders for pipe
iron. As an indication that the strike will
not be prolonged, the men said last night
the furnaces had not been banked.

$50 A. M. yesterday. He was met at the
Baltimore and Ohio depot by some 200
friends and warmly welcomed. Getting into
a carriage with Colonel Echols, who ac-
companied him, he drove at once to the
residence of Rev. G. W. Clinton on Linton
street, dropping Colonel Echols at the Sew
enth Avenue Hotel.
Flemon had breakfast with Mr.. Clinton,
and subsequently saw several friends. He
declared that he would drop the name Of
Yeldell altogether. and assume that Of
Flemon henceforth. Last night DISPATCH
reporter visited Mr. Flemon at his residence
on Logan street. The quondam prisoner
had not thoroughly recovered from the
effects of his recent travelling, though he had
slept soundly until far into the afternoon.
With regard to the report which has been
extensively circulated about his alleged in
gratitude for the kindness of the public,
Mr.. Flemon distinctly stated that the rumor
is totally untrue. It emanated from his
enemies in South Carolina, and was intended
to injure his character. He declared
himself quite satisfied with his trial.
The Judges charge was most impartial,
and he received nothing but courtesy from
the South Carolina officials.
A visit was also made to D. NJ. Washing.
toms residence on Fulton street. Mr..
Washington announced that the Flemon
relief meeting, advertised for next Friday,
has been postponed to Monday, August 1S.
Mr.. Flemon will lappear and give the history
of his life from childhood. Colonel Echols
will also be present, and will speak on the
subject of Southern justice to the colored
race. Tickets for the meeting will be so cents
each, and will be on sale at all newspaper
Offices. The Flemon committee hope, by
means of the ticket money, to defray the
rest of Flemon's expenses. The meeting
is to be held either in Lafayette Hall or the
old City Hall. When all the debts have
been paid of, reception will be given
Flemon, at which visitors can see him and
converse with him. A meeting will be held
to wind up the affairs of the committees, at
which a vote of thanks will be given to all
benefactors of Flemon.
