THE C. T. G. EXECUTIVE BOARD

To Meet on Wednesday TO Consider the
Philips. McGaw and Kelly Episodes.
A. special meeting of the Executive
Board of the Central Trades Council will
be held on Wednesday evening at the Office
of the National Glass Budget, 1873 Fifth
avenue, to inquire into the reason for the
expulsion of John Philips, from L. A. 300,
and of Homer L. McGaw from the Knights
of Labor. An investigation will also be
made into the charges entered by the dele
gates from L. A. Gill on Saturday night
against Delegate John NJ. Kelly.
A delegate who was seen yesterday said
that so far from the feeling of the Council
being about equally divided on the ques-
ton of the Philips and McGaw expulsions,
that their cases were referred to the board
with power to act by vote of 81 for and 10
against. President Evans was anxious to
record his vote in favor of the majority, but
it was held that he was incapacitated from
his position as Chairman from voting.
John Ehman, when asked as to the re-
ported disruption Of the Central Trades
Council, said: There is a possibility that
one or two of the delegates known to be sub
ject to the influence of John NJ. Kelly may
withdraw, and it is equally possible that
they may take this course against the wishes
of their respective unions. haven't any
doubt, though, that should they withdraw,
they will come in again when they become
thoroughly conVersant with all the facts in
the case"

BOUND FOR WASHINGTON.
Hatch, of Missouri, Says This Will be the
Last Republican House.

Last Republican House.
Among the passengers who came from the
West last night and snatched a hasty
luncheon in the restaurant while the Eastern
express was being made up were Senator
Bates and Representative Enlow, of Ten
nessee, and Representative Hatch, of Mis-
souri,. During the brief interval that
elapsed while sauntering from the restaur-
ant to the cars, the latter gentleman was
pressed for his views on the forthcoming
session of Congress. Said Mr.. Hatch:
''Some time will necessarily elapse before
the House settles down to business. The
revision or regulation of the rules will
occupy attention for a more or less length
ened space, Just as the Republicans attempt
to turn them to their advantage or not We
have no intention of allowing them to muz-
zle us, and they seem disposed to do it, if we
allow them, and the early days of the ses-
sion will witness considerable flibustering
from the side of the majority. The tariff, of
course, will receive attention in due course.
1t quite impossible to ioreshadow what the
Republicans will do in this direction. They
will probably bring up some sort of a bill,
in their usual half-hearted way, and we
Democrats will try to whip it into such a
shape as will serve to relieve the people
from the unnecessary taxation they are now
suffering under. Missouri is rapidly be-
coming Republican State, and the next
year or so will witness a considerable
change in the political aspect Of affairs
there. Make note, nevertheless, that this
is the last Republican Congress the country
will ever see."
Representative Enlow, of Tennessee, said
that so much time will be occupied in
settling the rules and fighting the flibus-
tering tactics of the Republicans that very
little business would be done during the
present session. The introduction of tariff
measure would inaugurate long and bitter
contention, and an attempt would be made
by the minority to make any measure
brought up a serviceable one. The condi-
ton of the waterways would receive, he
thought, early consideration, and they were
so necessary to the transaction of mercan-
tile business that no Representative would
offer opposition to legislation tending to
make them of more public benefit.
Senator Bates, the Democratic delegate
from Tennessee, was SO much occupied in
seeing to the requirements of the ladies of
his party as to be unable to leave behind
him any words of wisdom.

JUDGE M'KBNNA'S CANDIDACY.
A Meeting That Did Not Meet-Judse Bailey
Recovering.

Recovering.
The meeting of Democrats to discuss the
mayoralty question, which was solemnly an
nounced by two temporary morning news
papers for yesterday afternoon in Judge
McKenna's office, took place. His honor
met three reporters and the Hon. Charles F.
McKenna, and discussed the situation with
considerable interest. No one else appeared
with the necessary credentials as delegates
and the meeting was called to order by G.
F. McKenna, who regretted as the state
ment had been made that he had been con-
suited by the judge on all his movements.
he had neglected to do so with regard to this
important conference, although they met at
late hour on Saturday evening.
Judge McKenna said in answeE-to consid-
erable cross-questioning that he had no init
nation that Judge Bailey would withdraw,
and as long as he was candidate would not
take any steps toward entering the field.
Or course he felt the ambition that any man
would and the honor of being Mayor of
Pittsburg was one that he had no hesitation
in saying that he coveted, but not as long as
Judge Bailey was the choice of the party.
The fact that the last time he ran for Mayor
there was pretty close vote gave him evil
dence that his political friends were at
least favorable to his aspirations, should the
road be clear.
This closed the conference and an adjourn
ment sine die was taken until some definite
information on the position of Judge Bailey
could be obtained.
An attemptwas made to see Judge Bailey
last night, but he begged, in his usual
courtly manner, to be excused. Inquiries
at the hotel revealed that the Judge was
very sick man short time ago and under
medical care, but has improved of late He
has been confined to his room at the Monon-
gahela House, which he has left only few
visitors in the elevator room. The most
sincere sympathy is felt for Judge Bailey
by his many warm friends, and the warmest
hopes are expressed that he will fully re-
cover before the opening of the coming cam
paign,

BAPTIZED In THE RIVER.
ColOred BapIists Take Plunge ia the Col
Waters of the Allegheny.

ColOred BaptIsts Take n Plunge Id the Cold
Waters of the Allegheny.
A bath in the Allegheny river on day
like yesterday is not the most pleasant thing
In the world, but quite number of persons
not-onlv took a plunge, but showed dispo-
sition to repeat the dose.
The event was the annual baptism of the
members of the Howard Street Colored Bap-
tist Church. Thirteen men and women were
on hand, and were soused beneath the cold
waters. Quite large crowd collected on
the shore above the Anderson street bridge
and watched the ceremony. The party was
divided up into two squads, five men and
eight women The latter seemed to take to
the water almost as readily as they would to
an ice cream sociable. One of them, after
being showed under once by the pastor, Rev.
Taylor, jumped about two feet out of the
water and shook herself like a retriever,
She then plunged in again, singing "Halle-
lujahP'
The men were little timid, as most men
are to water, and did not have the same en-
thusiasm that characterized their sisters.
One OF them had to be coaxed into the river
by the pastor. After the first trickle down
his spinal scolumn his appetite for water
was alarming. The men and women we're
dressed in rubber clothing, and suffered lit
tie by the cold.

HER LONG LIFE ENDED.
An Old Pioneer of PitIsburg TO be Buried
To-Day-Some of the Stirring Advent
ures of Mrs. jackson.

An Old Pioneer of PitIsburg TO be Bnried
To-Day-Some of the Stirring Advent
ures of Mrs. jackson.
This afternoon will occur the funeral of
one of the oldest residents of Pittsburg, and
lady who has seen more adventures than
usually falls to the lot of woman. Mary
jackson, widow of the late James jackson,
died at her residence, 13 Third avenue. at
2:3O A. M, at the advanced age of 81. Her
husband, who died eight years ago, was a
well-known coal merchant on the river.
Mrs. jackson was born in the County
Cavan, Ireland, in the for that country
momentous year of 1898. amid the horrors
of the rebellion and persecution in retalia-
ton by the British then prevailing.
A young woman she came to this country
with her husband to New York, first to
seek her fortune, but hearing of the rich
fields of Pennsylvania, the couple, with
three children, started, in 1880, for the Key
stone State, a momentous journey in those
days, accomplishing the voyage in canal
boats, conestoga wagon, and a large proper
ton of it on foot. The adventures of the
little family upon the long journey were
discouraging to the last degree. Attacked
by Indians, lost in the forests, and finally
compelled to burn their wagon to cook food
for their sick child, who, however, died Of
smallpox on the road, the miseries of the
travellers seemed to have no end. They
arrived in Pittsburg in 1881, and settled
down at Ross and Water streets, where bad
fortune seemed still to pursue them, for in
1S45, when the property in the old paper
mill yard was swept away by fire, it was by
the most heroic exertion of one of the old
"Vigy" fremen that Mrs. jackson was res
cued from the burning building.
The family is remarkably prolific one,
the old lady leaving seven boys, the Oldest,
Henry, being 63 years of age. He has had
II children, of whom eight are living, five
of these having II children. The next eld-
est is William with two married children
and five grandchildren; Robert, with six
children; James, with six and John with
four. These were the children, grandchil-
dren and great grandchildren of the old lady
last night assembled around her casket in
the house where she has lived for % years.
1t was a sight very rarely witnessed, and
Mrs. Jackson leaves 55 living descendants.

TWO COMPANIES AT WAR.

The whitehall Road shuts Out the Philadel.
phia Gas PeopIe-No Ditch 10 be Dug
Under Their Tracks.
Trouble W whieh for time promised to be
very serious, occurred between the Phila-
delphia Gas Company and the Whitehall
Connecting Railway Company, on the
Southside yesterday morning. On Satur-
day the gas company commenced to dig a
ditch from the glasshouse of Wolfe, How
ard & Co., on Mary street out to the tracks
of the Whitehall road, intending to make
connection with their main on the other
side OF the tracks. 1t was necessary
to dig under the railroad tracks to make
the connection. 1t was anticipated that the
railroad company would raise an objection,
and the digging was nearly all done Satur-
day and early yesterday morning, three men
went to the place to finish the work. They
were met by representatives Of the railroad
company who interfered, and told the gas
people the work should not be done. The
gas men protested against any interference,
but to no avail.
The railroad men said if the work was
forced the ditch would be filled up, and
while two of their number kept their eyes
on the gas men, two others went for loco
motive which was placed Immediately over
the spot where the connection was to have
been made 1t is said that Superintendent
D. M. Watt, of the PIttsburg, Virginia and
Charleston, ordered the engine sent there,
and told the men to prevent the connection
from being made.
The idea was that if the gas men should
make any move to do the work they would
be treated to shower bath from the water
tank of the engine or to n dose of steam
from the escape pipes. Superintendent
O'Herron, of the Southside division, was
notified, and he ordered his men to leave
the place which they did. The engine, how
ever, was held there all day and night.
Edward Heating, the engineer, said he had
instructions to remain there until relieved,
if that should be until this evening.
Superintendent 0'Herron was spoken to
over a telephone last night, but he said he
did not anticipate any trouble. 1.-THE rail-
road company" said he, shave assumed
considerable authority, I think, but then
they own the world and can do as they
please 1 will not do anything further
until see Superintendent Watt
Quite a number of people hung around
the place yesterday afternoon anticipating
that something interesting would transplre,
but while the gas company's employees were
ready all day to work and the railroad COM
pany's men were there to prevent it, those
who anticipated trouble were disappointed.
What the developments will be to-day is
matter of conjecture, but the gas company
may ask for an injunction restraining any
interference of the work.

condition of the road, or would make any
allusion to the blockade in the freight
traffic.
