State Business Practice Association OF
America" in which President Williams and
Prof. Row were the prime movers, they em-
bodied a clause in the constitution as fol-
lows: s'That no new members be admitted to
this association without the consent of all

This association has taken into its member

America that have discarded the text book

stead the newspaper market quotation sys-

self-con6dence and thorough knowledge OF
how business is transacted as well as how to
keep books. This certainly gives Curry
Business College great advantage over all
other colleges in teaching bookkeeping and
business.

TWO RUMoRs DENIED.
Congressman DalzelI's Explicit Statement
In Regnrd 70 Current Rumors.

Congressman DalzelI's Explicit Statement
In Regard TO Current Rumors.
With regard to rumor furnished to a re-
porter and published yesterday morning,
that Congressman Dalzell had in an inter-
view antagonized the administration touch
ing the Pittsburg postmastership, Mr.. Dal-
zell interposes very prompt and emphatic
denial, and goes on to say:
In the first place, no man, either close to the
President or distant from him, ever asked me
to explain any language used in an interview.
In the second place l never told such man or
any man that my language used in the inter-
view had been misunderstood. In the third
place, 1 never was party to any such interview
as is mentioned. never said in any interview,
or anywhere else, that if my candidate for the
postofice failed to make the rifle / would re-
venge myself on the administration; or that If
l could get in . dig at any pet scheme OF
Quay's would seize the opportunity. In the
fourth place, it is not true that the Presidents
friend or anybody else ever suggested to me
that my vote as Congressman is OF less value
now than it was before the Territorial elec-
tions, or that my chances fol good chairman
ship would be Imperiled by my being kicker.
office can candidate has not become less pro-
nounced, nor in any way changed.
The fact is that / am not troubling myself
about the postotfice or Craftsmanship or any
thing of the kind; and am not assuming that
l shall not get what belongs to me both from
the administration ard from the House when
organized. On the contrary, being good Re-
publican and believing in the Justice of my
party. am resting content in the belief that l
shall be fairly treated, and include in this fair
treatment the appointment Of my nominee as
postmaster in accordance with the unbroken
line of Republican precedents in this matter.
Mr.. VIM. Finn denies also that he was at
the Seventh Avenue Hotel on Thursday or
that he saw Senator Quay during the latter's
recen. visit.

James McManes. the political boss Of the

of Philadelphis politicians, among whom
were G. A. McManes-the only Democrat
in the party-Henry Clay, Receiver of
Taxes; Savery Bradley, l. s. Rittenhouse,

from Cincinnati last night, in special car.
on their way eastward. Mr.. McManes,
pleading fatigue, retired Immediately on his
arrival at his hotel, and in such a quiet
way that the clerks, who usually know as to
whether their guests have occupied their
rooms or not, were unaware of the fact.
Mr.. C. A. McManes was asked as to the
nature OF the trip, and as to whether any sig-
nlfcance was to be attached to the boss" ar
rival here almost cotemporaneous with that
of Messrs. Magee and Quay. "Our trip"
said the gentleman, sis devoid of any politi-
cal significance whatever. 1t was instigated
by myself and another gentleman for the
purpose of getting rest from business, and
Mr.. McManes accompanied us for the pleas
ure of the tour. We were accommodated
with special car, and ran down to Char
iottesville. visited the White Sulphur
Springs, appreciated very highly the
scenery along the Chesapeake and
Ohio, made stay at Lexington
and Cincinnati aud are now on our way
home, our car being under orders to be
hitched on to the 8 o'clock train tomorrow
morning. Asfar as / know there has not been
any rupture between Senator Quay and Mr..
McManes and though You seem to think
there is certain significance in the latter
gentleman's arrival here so soon after the
Senator'S appearance in these parts, I can
assure you that really there is nothing in it.
We are just enjoying few days excursion,
that is all. No, Icannot say that Walters
appointment is regarded with favor in Phila-
de1phia. 1t came with surprise and very
great disappointment is felt, generally, con-
cerning it. Most Of US thought that Powers
would have been the man. Yes, we certainly
leave tomorrow morning.
The party spent the evening ut the Opera
House under the guidance of Mr.. Bean.

A TRAIL OF BEER.
Two Drivers Badly Injured In a West End
Runaway.

Two Drivers Badly Injured In a West End
Runaway.
james Sweeney and Gus Schinduheete
were seriously injured in a runaway in the
West End yesterday evening while driving
a beer wagon along Steuben street. The
horses took fright and dashed along the
street at terrific agit. They overturned
the wagon and dragged both men consid-
erable distance before they were freed from
the wreck. The team finally collided with
a fence and were brought to a standstill.
Had they gone few feet farther the ami
mails would have faAen over an embank-
ment bordering on the Saw Mill Run Rail-
road. The wagon was complete wreck,
and the barrels of beer were strewn along
the street and furnished refreshment for the
numerous youths OF the locality.
Schinduheete's injuries are mainly about
the head and body. He was given medical
attention at his home on Independence
street, Duquesne Heights. Sweeney had
one of his wrists broken, and was sent to his
home in CHARTERS.

YELLED In MYSTERY.

An Orange Grove Proprietor Arrested at the
Instance of Armstrong Co. O6ciais.
Charles Hiltenbelter, alias Charles Hill,
who claims residence at 2s1 Webster avenue,
and who also claimed to be the proprietor Of
an extensive orange grove near Jackson
vile, Fla, was arrested last night by De-
tective Fitzgerald, but the exact cause of
his arrest is not known. Detective Finney,
of the West Penn Railroad, has warrant
for Hills arrest, which was made out in
Armstrong county. Finney gave the police
officials q description of Hill, and asked
that he be arrested, but took the warrant
away with him, and until midnight
Finney could not be found to furnish the
nature of the charge nor the story in the
case.
Hill says the only trouble he knows any
thing about is that he borrowed s65 from an
Armstrong man, giving his watch as se-
curity. and he supposes that the man who
loaned him the money got frightened and
sued him.. The police, however, think the
charge is more FERROUS than Hill desires to
make people believe.

GLASS APPRENTICES AGAIN.

The Threatened Trouble TO Form tho Basis
ofa C6nference-Manage ger Snyder Thinks
the Men Unwise-No Wage Troubles
at All.
Mr.. Snyder, manager OF McCully's s
Twenty-eighth street glass house, was inter-
viewed yesterday about the trouble among
the men Of the factory, because three ap-
prentices are employed instead Of two. He
said:
"The men have selected committee to
meet the firm next Tuesday, when it is
hoped the matter will be satisfactorily fixed
The trouble arose out of an extremely trivial
circumstance. Last year our firm articled
another apprentice beside the two we had in
the factory. This extra apprentice, the men
think, is an infringement of the contract
with them. They allege that only one ap-
prentice is allowed for every 20 blowers, and
as matter of fact this factory has only 40
blowers. so there only ought to be two ap-
prentices.
Mr. Snyder thinks that the men have
adopted very unwise course in kicking
about this matter. He says: "The firm
took this boy last year and entered into a

give him employment for the next four
years, and the boy on his part bound him.
self to do certain specific things while learn
ing his trade. Both sides were sworn
before an Alderman to abide by the pro-
visions of the contract. Taking this into
consideration, how can we discharge the boy
without breaking the contract and leaving
ourselves open to the consequences of such
a course?
"There is no kick for wages, because our
factory has always honorably met the men
in any reasonable demands they made. When
the last great glass house strike occurred
our factory went right along paying the ad-
vance that other firms refused. A reduc-
tion took place, however, when the men en-
ployed in other factories went to work with
out obtaining the advance. This policy has
been pursued by the firm for the q years I
have been engaged with them. 1 never
once had to complain Of any harsh treat
ment that was caused by the company. You
may say for me that if there is a strike it
will only be partial one, because most of
the men do not desire to 60 out upon such q
ridiculous plea as some of them make"

After the Exposition

Go to Hamilton's, 81 and SO Fifth ave-. and
continue to feast your eyes and ears on those
superb pianos and organs that captivated all
who saw and heard them, and remember
that Hamilton's is the only place where you
can get the Decker Bros, Knabe, Fischer
and Estey pianos. We mention this as
parties who are advertising pianos at club
rates, etc., claim that they have the run of
the market and selected the piano they are
advertising for its superiority; that is simply
broad statement, as they cannot get any
one of the four pianos we are the sole agents
for. When you want reliable instrument
get what has been sold in and around you
for years; you can depend on them; your
neighbors have them and can recommend
them to you; you can get them on easy pay
ments and as low price as some COMPARE
lively unknown pianos are offered at. Ham,
ilton handles also the celebrated Estey or
gans, the excelsior tina. all others aim to
equal. You will find at his salesrooms the
largest stock to select FROM Call on him
before you buy and get terms and prices.
They will please and convince you.

FIELDING, Bur DOING 50 SLOWLY.


Seven Foundries Have SIGNED, but More
Men Arc Coming Ont.
No general sentiment between manu-
facturers and men has, 50 far, occurred in
the foundry difficulty. Yesterday another
firm granted the increase, namely, that Of
James Lathwood, Of Faber street, max
ing the seventh to sign.
Mr.. Lsthwood's men were not concerned
in the original strike, but he was subse-
quently notified of the increase, and he
yielded. The men employed at Evans
Brothers, which firm has signed. refuse to
work on an order sent in by the Rosedsls
Foundry Company. Sterritt & Thomas, Of
Thirty-second street, received some work
from William Yagle b Co., whose
men are still out, but their moiders walked
out rather than touch IL. Another firm
which was recently requested to concede the
increase was that of billiard, Sterritt q Co.,
and in default of the necessary signature
the molders concerned came out yesterday.
Five of Jones q Lsughlin's operatives were
laid off yesterday on account OF the scarcity
of work now prevailing, owing to the shut
down in the molding department
the city to work elsewhere, but the majority
have concluded to wait another week or 20
before looking for other work, under the be-
lief that the increase will be finally
granted. Mr.. Thomas Wisdom, Of Grace
street, who worked as a molder in Marshall's
foundry, showed q reporter letter from Mr..
Sexton, the Superintendent of the Glouces-
ter Iron Works, offering him $25 week,
provided he proved himself efficient Of,
molding in all kinds Of sand. Mr.. Wisdom
said be preferred remaining here, but would
go for $50. Another molder received tels-
gram from the same firm with similar Of
fer. This would seem to imply that work il
fairly brisk in the East One feature of the
strike isssthe unanimity and qnietude which
pervades every assemb1age of the men.
Since the foregoing was written it was
learned that the Leechburg Foundry and
Machine Company had signed the scale.
Their men will turn in to-day. This is the
eighth firm to give in.

THE FREIGHT BLOCKADE.

Lack Of Locomotive Engines Believed to
be the Main Cause of the Trouble.
Many shippers are at loss to account for
the blockade in freight traffic in the rail-
roads leading from Pittsburg to Western
points. Cars are sadly lacking in the coke
region, and it is reported that a number Of
Western furnaces have been compelled to
cease operations because of their inability
TO procure coke.
Shippers of grain from Chicago are also
complaining, saying that thousands of dol
lars of their capital are tied up in grain
which they cannot get moved to the East.
The FL Wayne, Pittsburg and Western and
Panhandle are all crowded with freight the
Panhandle being in the worst condition.
The general explanation is that there is q
lack of locomotive engines.

A story was published yesterday that the
Citizens Traction Railway Company had
decided to extend its cable line out Butler
street to the sharpsburg bridge, to charge 4
cents from the city to Sharpsburg, four
miles, and the same fare from the city to
East Liberty.
A reporter for The DISPATCH last even
ing saw Mr.. James Werner, one OF the
directors of the company, concerning these
rumors. He said that no such decisions had
been reached, that there bad been no recent
talk about an extension, and that the re-
duction of fare, though discussed
informally, had not been brought up at any
meeting where there was quorum.
