Sunday School Leaders Will Invite the
Society TO Meet Here.
The Sunday School Superintendent As
sociation met last evening in the chapel of
the First Presbyterian church. The Rev.
Mr.. Woodburn, who was delegate to the
Worlds Sunday School Convention in London,
made brief report about the workings of the
convention.
The Rev. r. s. Miller reported that the COM
mitIee on time and place for the next triennial
meeting of the International Sunday School
Convention were considering the advlsibiity of
holding the convention in Pittsburg. 1t will
be held in June next year. Mr.. Morrow
read letter received from w. Reynolds,
a member of the committee stating that he
favored Pittsburg for the convention. He
stated that he would be in Pittsburg on Sun
day, october 6, on his way to attend the State
Convention at Williamsport. and advised that
mass meetings OF the Sunday school workers
be held that day to bring out an interest in the
International Convention. He suggested that
afternoon and one in Pittsburg in the evening.
He also stated that Pittsburg would be repre-
sented at the Williamsport convention.
After a few remarks a resolution was adopt
ed to the effect that the meeting invite the
next International Sunday School Convention
to meet in Pittsburg in June next. 1t was
further decided to instruct the Executive
Committee to arrange for the mass meetings
on or before October g. and if necessary, to ap-
point committee OF arrangements, composed
of one from each denomination. The EXecu-
tive Committee was also instructed to elect
delegates to the State Convention at Williams
port.
The last International Convention was held
at Chicago, and over 1000 delegates from the
United States and Canada were present.

MOVING THE CARS.

That Junction Blockade Being Slowly Re-
duced-NIanager Mcdonald Denies That
1900 Cars Are Tied Up.
Matters seem to be at a standstill in the
reported blockade on the Pittsburg juno
tion and Baltimore and Ohio Railroads.
Quite number of cars are still standing
along the various sidings, and an ordinary
observer sees very little difference in the ap-
pearance of the situation. Manager McDon-
aid, of the Pittsburg and Western road, how
ever, insists that matters are not nearly as bad
as the other side has represented them to be.
at is possible" he said, that the Baltimore
and Ohio road may have 1900 cars on their
tracks between the city and Washington, but
it is ridiculous to claim that there are l3OO cars
in and around Pittsburg alone"
He showed THE DISPATCH reporter a note
from some of the junction officials in which
they stated that there were 3U0 cars in the
junction yards, and $50 on the tracks of the
Baltimore and Ohio, and he denied that the
number was even that large.
why" he said. lone of our regular trains
was delayed five hours on Sunday night, SIM
ply because the junction could not furnish us
with cars enough to make train. On Monday
morning two trains had to be abandoned be-
cause the Junction was still backward in fur
nishing us cars. We hauled 29l cars for them on
Saturday. and 175 more on Sunday, and that
was all tney naQ. 1t is nonsense TO Calk OF the
Pittsburg and Western being unwilling to haul
cars; we will move them just as fast as we can,
and nobody could be expected to do more"
The junction people said that if any trains
had been delayed for five hours owing to a
want of cars, they had not heard of it. The
Baltimore and Ohio road, they said, had
not hauled any cars to the Junction
road at all yesterday, because it was
known that cars enough were there
already. They did not wish to get into news
paper alteration, and we're reticent as TO Their
views and intentions. They insisted. however,
that 1900 cars had been laid up, and while ad-
mitting that quite number had been moved
since The DISPATCH published the first ac-
still enough left to keep all parties hustling.

ADAM TRAUTMAN DYING.

The welI-Known Gentleman's TRAVELLING
to Land on stretcher.
Matt Weiss and his party arrived home
from Europe yesterday. The party, which
left here early in August, consisted of Matt
Weiss, his brother John, Weiss, George l..
Fischer, of the Fischer Foundry and Machine
Company. Adam Trautman, the Southside
grocer, and Emil Poerstel, the cigar manu-
facturer. They had intended to land in En-.

was taken ill with dropsy on the ocean. and it
was decided to remain shipboard until
Bremen was reached. From that port the
members of the party separated to visit their
several places Of natal interest in the Father
land. Matt Weiss remained with Mr.. Traut-
man on the journey to Frankfort. There he
left him, still very i'll, and spent ten days in
visiting places of special interest in Germany
and Austria. He then rejoined Mr.. Trautman
and kept with him until the arrival home yes
terday. The illness of Mr., Trautman cast a
shadow over the entire trip of the party. Emil
Poerstel did not come home with his compan-
ions, and is expected to arrive the last of this
month.
The party landed in New York last Friday
Mr. Trautman's illness had grown steadily
worse, and he was landed from the steamer on
a stretcher. He was met at the port by his
brother George, his brother-in-law, Jacob T.
Keil, the commission merchant, and DIR. NJ. A.
Arnholt, the family physician. The party
rested in New York until Sunday evening,
when they departed for Pittsburg. MIR. Traut-
man was removed from the train at the East
End and taken to the house of his sister, MRS.
Keil. He is very low, and there is said to be
small hope of his recovery.
During all the travelling through Germany
and Austria Mr.. Weiss was with Mr.. Traut-
man, and looked after him. Mr.. Weiss tells
some curious stories about the aggravating
SlowneSs of old country officials the great
string of red tape wound around everything,
and the continual demand for tips. Matt is not
favorably impressed with many of the customs

AFTER A PIPE ORGAN.
A Grand Instrument May, be Placed
in the Carnegie Free Library.
THE COMMITTEE FIGURING ON IT.
Just $1O, 900 is Asked for to Build it in the
Music Chamber.
ROOSEVELTS AGENT SEES MIR. SCOTT

L. W. Ebbert, a representative of the
Frank Roosevelt Organ Company, of Phila-
delphia, arrived in the city yesterday and
paid a visit to the music chamber of the
Carnegie free library building in Allie
gheny. He only stopped oTerto take
passing glance at the place, and after
spending several hours in the building left
for the West. -
Mr.. Ebbert's visit to the building was on
business connected with a proposition to
build large pipe organ in the music
chamber. The Building Committee has been
talking in a casual way of putting an organ IN
the building, provided they had money enough
left to pay for it, and it would be completed IN
time for the opening on January 1 next. Inc
Roosevelt people heard of the matter ana or
dered Mr.. Ebbert to stop over here on ms way
West. He did So and James b. scott, CnalI-
man of the Building Committee, met him.
HE HAS AN EYE TO BUSINESS.
Mr. Ebbert, who is an expert on matters Of
this kind was loud in his praise of that part of
the building to be devoted to music. He said
the acoustic properties of the chamber were
excellent, and said the lovers of music would
be perfectly satisfied in every way with that
department.
When he returns to Philadelphia, Mr.. Ebbert
will give an estimate on the cost Of an organ
that would be in keeping with the surround
ings His estimate will be in the nature of
plans and specifications showing the different
grades of instruments, finish, etc. 1t is eX-
pected that the kind of organ wanted
would cost in the neighbOrhood of $4,000.
The building committee are now fgur-
ing whether they will have this amount
left over out of the appropriation
after everything has been paid for. So far
they have received $3.50, 600 and when the build
ing proper is completed there will be very little
left. 1t is expected however, that Mr.. Carne-
gie or some other music-loving citizens. will
make good any deficiency after the organ is
contracted for.
TO BE A FINE ORGAN.
1t is the wish of great many people that the
organ to be erected in the building will be the
finest in the city, if not in the State. In speak
ing of the matter last evening, Chairman Scott
said:
I'VE have not taken any active steps toward
getting an organ, until we see whether we will
be able to pay for it or not. An instrument is
needed but we can 60 so far with the money
we have and no farther. 1t would also be neces.
sary to have the organ completed when the
doors are thrown open to the public. We ex-
pect the opening to take place January !, and
when we turn the building over to Allegheny
City our work is done. If an organ is placed in
the building after the opening it will have to be
There are thousand and one things to be done
yet, and nobody knows for certain when the
opening will take place. We did not ask Mr.Eb-
bert to come here, and will not solicit bids un-
til we know how we stand. All the talk about
it so far is purely sentimental"

NOT ENOUGH FOR THREE.

Hatchet Forces Clerk to Give Dime to
Thirsty Man.
Last evening a man named Charles Bow
ers was arrested by Officer Snyder, of ALLIE
gheny, and placed in the lookup for hear
ing to-day.
1t is alleged that Bowers went into the dry
goods store of A. ]. Kiefer, at No. 1888 Ohio
street, and demanded dime from the small
boy who was left in charge of the store. The
boy refused, when Bowers walked behind the
counter, picked up a hatchet and advanced on
him. The boy was frightened. and gave the
dime to Bowers, when he quickly decamped
and ran off with two companions who were
waiting on him outside.
Bowers was arrested shortly after. A man
named Herring, who was in the store at the
time, was also threatened by Bowers, and in
consequence allowed him to escape.

VERY IMPRESSIVE SERVICES.
Funeral of Daughter Who Survived Hei
Mother Just Two Weeks.

Funeral oil Dnughter VINO survived her
Mother Just Two Weeks.
Rev. G. A. Holmes, D. D.. one of the
most prominent Methodist clergymen in the
county, has met with terrible bereavement.
Brief mention was made in The DISPATCH
yesterday that his daughter. Mrs. Lucy w.
Wallace had died on Sunday afternoon at the
Homeopathic HOSPITAL.
The saddest part of the affiiction is the fact
that only two weeks ago Mrs. Wallace's mother,
DR.. Holmes wife, was buried. Her funeral SER
vice at her husbands church, in Manches-
ter Allegheny, was notable from the at
tendance of nearly 20 ministers of the gospel
At that time reference was made to the
sick daughter, who could not be present at the
funeral Mrs. Wallace;s end was probably
hastened by the sorrow resulting. from the
mothers death. She was the wife of E. r.
Wallace, of Harrisburg. Funeral services were
held last night at DR.. Holmes residence, 164
Locust street, Allegheny. II was impressive
beyond description. The interment will take
place at Harrisburg.

SOME RULES CHANGED.
Primitive Methodists Want Christians TO
Lead the Singing.


The sessions held yesterday of the Primi.
tive Methodist Church Conference were moi
marked by any special features of interest
Considerable routine business was transacted,
and an adjournment until the afternoon was
made.
Upon re-assembling, the revision of the rules
governing the church was taken up Not many
changes were effected except in wording Sew.
eral rules as amended and changed are, that
mo one being a member and trustee Of the
church can hold the latter position if he for
felt his right to membership mo minister
shall take legal steps to recover arrears of sal
airy without the sanction of the District or Gen.
eral Committee;' no person shall direct the
singing III the church who is not a member of
the same and Christian, and no one shall play
an instrument in the church who has not a
good moral character
The question arose as TO whether it was nee
cessary for person to be a Christian to play
an instrument in the church. The subject was
not discussed, but the opinion OF the assembly
was that it was of little difference what man
believed Numerous other rules were con-
sidered, but were not changed.

The Department of Charities Asked to Care
for n German Girl.

for n German Girl.
The Department of Charities was called
on yesterday to care for girl named Mary
Shurring. who is gradually becoming in
sane. The girl is domestic and lives with a
family on Plus street, Southside. 1t is not the
first time the department has been called on in
her behalf The girl came to this city in Janu-
airy, 1888, and in May she was sent to the Poor
Farm, where child was born.
She is now only 10 years old and has a very
pretty face. Her home was in Germany. where
she was in the employ of titled family, and
the girl alleged that a soG of the house mis-
used her and sent her to this country at his
own expense. This statement is borne out by
the fact that shortly after her arrival here, the
department collected $40 sent to her by regis
tered letter from the man she accused.
