An elopement from Lawrenceville, which
has some very sad features connected with
it, occurred week since, but has been kept
so secret that the facts were concealed and
made known only yesterday.
The parties IN the affair are Miss Carrie
Aukers. of Parker's Landing, and
Wilson K. Irwin, a married man, and a
well-known machine agent residing at No.
5132 Butler street. A call was made on
Mrs. Irwin last night, and the facts pertain
tanning to the elopement of her husband
were ascertained.
Mrs. Irwin is the mother of six young
children and since her marriage, II years
ago, has been endeavoring to earn living
for herself and family and to educate the
children as we'll as she could afford. She
said, "My husband has always slighted me
and neglected his family. He is profane
and would act cruelty to the children, en-
deavoring also to degrade their morals. He
was never faithful and told him so, but he
denied it. Six weeks ago Carrie Aukers,
pretty girl % years old, was engaged as
servant girl at the home of my husbands
sister in East Liberty. The former paid
attention to the girl to such an extent that
she lost her position. My husband secured
her a room in the Eighteenth ward and con-
tinued in her company.
"The disgrace of my situation became so
great that last Friday night week since I
told him we could live together no longer.
He refused to pay the back rent and left the

results of their labors their justification and
went forward. But we haven not this defense.
We have meager spiritual results to recount;
the character of the canpmeeting has changed,
and its necessity as a religious institution no
longer exists As financial scheme, the SELL
ing of admission tickets and collecting gate
fees is the best ever devised. 1t is all right to
do it On week days, but on Sunday there is
valid objection to it, there being good ground
for the claim that it is violation Of the law of
the State. 1t is enough to know that able
lawyers have given the deliberate opinion that
the charging of gate fee for admission to a
camp-ground on the Sabbath is a violation of
the law That should settle the matter with
every conscientious man.
We have taken no account OF the charge
sometimes made that campmeeting managers
solicit the railroads to run extra trains to their
grounds on the Sabbath, and make a bargain
by which the association receives part of the
profits of the Sunday excursion in addition to
che fees received at the gates. We have never
personally known such a case, and can hardly
believe it has ever occurred in our territory.
If case has ever existed we condemn it in i'm
measured terms.
Now we submit to the managers of these
meetings whether the duties of their positions
do not require them to neither open their gates
nor charge an admission fee on Sunday?

MR.. KAERCHER STILL ON DECK.
The Druggist Claims That the AlIeghenianl

Are With Him.
Mr., Kaercher, the Allegheny druggist
who has waged such persistent war against
the myrmidous of the Law and Order
League, was seen last night and declared
his resolution of selling soda water to-day
as ON previous Sundays. "What is more, "
he said, 'I will keep up the fight as long as
my health and my money last
He claims that the Law and Order League
has entirely lost sight of the primary OBJ
jects for which it was founded. "Instead of
repressing immortality and drunkenness, "
says he, "they persecute for sectarian rea-
sons the well-meaning sellers of lemonade
and soda water. The result is that families
buy kegs of beer on Saturday night and
spend Sunday in terrible debauchery."
Mr.. Kaercher also stated that last SUM-
day his drug store was full of the most
respectable people in Allegheny; clearly
showing that intelligence is arrayed on the
opposite side to the Law and Order people.
he will, as usual, attend to selling himself
to-day, and will give his clerks a holiday.
He has lost money already on the affair, but
he considers it lost in a good cause, and
does not regret it. He isv very bitter against
his brother druggists whom he considers
miserly and halfhearted-

; THE PLAsrERERs' TROUBLE.
If the Lafhers Return to Work To- Morro,
There VIII Be a Strike.

If the Lathers Return to Work To- Morrow
There VIII Be Strike.
A committee from Local Union No. 81
of the Operative Plasterers' International
Union called at The DISPATCH Office last
evening and made a statement in regard to
their reported strike. Yesterday afternoon,
as per arrangement, all the master plaster
ers in the two cities were sounded in regard
to what they proposed to do tomorrow, the
date of the strike. Nearly every one re-
piled that they would accede to the requests
of the journeymen, as per their agreement.
In this event there will be no strike and the
fathers will be discharged. The cause of
the trouble, as stated by the committee, was
that the master plasterers let the work of
lathing out by contract to in
efficient persons. The latter never
served a days time as apprentices,

was too soft or the hod man could not work,

work which rightfully belonged to them.
In many instances the fathers would not
nail the lath on tight enough. The plasterer
would cover over the bad lath, and, as a
consequence, when the house was finished,
the walls would crack. Some of the bad
dwellings in this city are plastered in this
manner, and the cracking walls cause
trouble between the contractors and the
owners. The lathers would not nail the
lath properly, nor would they put them the
right distance apart.
About the middle of last May the journey
men plasterers requested that they be given
this work, which belonged to them. They
gave the master plasterers six months time
to consider the matter. The time expired
last evening, and if an agreement is not
reached by tomorrow morning there will be
general strike. The journeymen say they
will cover all lath driven by the lsthers up
until last evening, but if the latter return
to work tomorrow morning the plasterers

MAD STEER IN THE PARKS.
A Brute Running Wild Attempts to Gore a
Lady, but Is Foiled.

On Saturday night, while crowds were
promenading Allegheny Parks, listening to
the music, an infuriated steer brok, loose
from the neighboring stockya yard and charged
madly into the parks He first attacked the
iron railings, which he bent and twisted out
of shape, and then, changing his course,
made for the center walk.
Attracted, no doubt, by the white dress of
lady standing by, he attempted to gore
her, and, but for the presence of mind of a
gentleman present who unfurled his um-
brella in the animals face. and diverted the
attack, would have doubtless succeeded in
doing so.
The lady then hid behind tree, and the
gentleman kept lodging the steer until the
owner of the mad brute arrived and sue
ceeded in recapturing it. 1t was some time
before the lady recovered from the shock.
Surely there is some means by which public
parks can be rid OF dangers like this.

LIBRARY HALL SALE.
Those Most Interested Are Hard to Find In
Explanation.

An execution was issued yesterday against
the Library Hall building, on Penn avenue,
for $66. .S46, on a mortgage held by John F.
Holmes as surviving trustee. Felix Brunot
is President of the Mercantile Library Hall
Company. Inasmuch as the interest has
been paid up to July II, this year. it is
somewhat hard to discover why the writ was
issued, and efforts to find those most inter-
ested last evening were unavailing. The
building is, it is said, to be sold to Joseph
Horne & Co.
Mr.. Holmes said yesterday that he knew
nothing about the matter. He supposed
that the owner wanted money, and as the
hall company could give him none, that he
should sell the property.
