to be Accidental

That Steamboats, Bridge Incident Believed
to be Accidental
"If there is rise in the river, you needn't
WORRY but that the boats will go through the
channel" said Mr.. Wood, in the office Of
the Monongahela Towing Company, yester-
dav. The company operates the Advance
and Pacific, the two boats which ran the
channel at Steubenville Monday and
knocked down the piles driven by the Pam
handle Railroad to sustain their bridge at
that point while they are reconstructing the
channel span. Continuing, the speaker
said:
1: is question of justice whether the river
men shall be stopped in their business tnat the
railroad company may build their bridge and
look after their own traffic, or whether they
stop their traffic as a consequence of their own
repairs. They have no right to close the chan
mel, and don't see how any steamboat captain
or company could be touched by Law for knock
ing the piles down. There is a quick bend in
the river at that point just above the
bridge, and the current is thrown
swiftly to the north shore. In swinging his
tow to make the temporary channel, 1 suppose
the current carried the pilot of the Advance
too far south, and he had 20 strike the piles.
1t would be madness for a captain to deliber-
ately run into an obstruction and take the risk
Of sinking his boats and tow, Just to knock
some piles out.
Mr.. James A. Henderson, of the Naviga-
tion Company, said that he had been to
Washington and seen General Casey, who
has charge of the rivers for the War De-
partment He said the General promised
him that channel should be lett open for

Alderman Cassidy yesterday heard the
case of the Commonwealth versus Isaac
Brown, colored man, who, in company
with others, Is charged with suing Mrs.
Regina Lies before Aldermen Porter and
Nolan and then Withdrawing the suits for q
consideration. As the testimony showed
that $40 were paid in one case and $50 in the
other and as $40 at the most was adjudged
necessary to pay the costs in each case,
Alderman Cassidy seemed to think a case
sufficient to warrant further investigation
had been out, and he held Mr.. Brown in
81, 900 bail for trial ct the September term
of the Quarter Sessions.
Mr. Burleigh, for the prosecution, and
Mr.. Dicken, for the defense, had consider

admitted that she had earnestly desired to
settle the cases, and had been urged to do so
by her bail, but Mr.. Cassidy refused to allow
her anxiety to get out of the scrape to save
Taylor.

much more common in the city at present
than usual, the presence of speak-easies
making game plenty for the blackmailer,

must be curtailed.

THE LADIES SUSPEND.
Pittsburg's Committee Work at Ex-
position Hall at an End.
AN ERRONEOUS RUMoR SET RIGHT.
A Mission of Mercy Takes Two Of the La
dies to Johnstown.
STATEMENT OF END OF ACTIVE WORK

The rumor in circulation last evening that
the effects of the Ladies' Relief Committee,
now in Exposition Hall, would be taken out
this morning in summary manner, turns
out to have been a misstatement of the facts
in the case.
Mrs. 81. G. Campbell, Chairman OF the
Ladies' Relief Committee, explained the
matter last evening. She stated that the
committee was to have had the use of the
building until July Is. and that the e1ten-
sion of time was q courtesy on the part OF the
contractors. The painters reached the end OF
the hall in which the ladies' work has been
going on yesterday, and the contractor and
Manager Johnston waited upon her and
asked if she would be willing to have the
effects removed to another part OF the build
ing finished by the workmen. After con-
sultation it was decided to suspend the
work of the committee after to-day.
A telegram was received yesterday
requesting large amount OF
clothing and provisions for small town In
Bedford county which has never yet re-
ceived aid and 40 miners families were
said to be in distressing circumstances.
After verifying the facts large shipment
was gotten off yesterday. The remainder OF
the usable articles will be shipped to the
Johnstown Ladies Relief Committee this
morning. Forty boxes of good winter
clothing will be stored until fall, when it is
expected that the committee will resume
work. A large quantity of stuff comes un-
der the head of rags, and will be disposed Of
to the best advantage. In this manner the
work of the Pittsburg Ladies' Relief Com
mittee will practically end to-day, but the
committee holds itself ready to resume
active work at any moment. Mrs. Camp
bell states that this action is not in the re-
motest sense compulsory. but that the most
amicable relations exist between the COM
mittee and the Exposition directors, and
that the hearty thanks of the committee are
due to the Exposition Society.
Mrs. Campbell spoke of new method of
extending aid to Johnstown determined
upon yesterday:
Its expected that Mrs. William McCreery,
Mrs. James B. Scott and myself will go to
Johnstown Friday next We Will meet with
town Ladies' Relief Committee. but we are on
a special mission. We have learned from many
whom we have assisted in Pittsbupg most NOV
ing accounts of destitutiOn among women in
Johnstown who are helpless and unable to ap-
ply in person to any of the relief committees.
We have balance of money left after our
committee bills are settled, besides the 81. 500
set aside for our use, and we intend to expend
the money in a woman's way in making these
poor creatures comfortable. 1 have scarcely
been able to restrain my tears at many of the
stories related. and we are convinced that
much good can be done In cases not heretofore
reached. We shall probably spend several
days 10 Johnstown.

POWDERLY SMELLED A RAT.
SheetIron Workers Ask the General Execu.

SheetIron Workers Ask the General Execu.
tive Board for Charter.
The following special was received last
night from Chicago:
An application was received to-day by the
Executive Board of the knights of Labor, ask
ing charter for local assembly of sheet iron
workers in Pittsburg. Mr.. Powderly
thought he smelled a rat There is a strike on
among the sheet iron workers at Pittsburg and
Mr.. Powder]y thought that some of the nom
union men who had taken the places of the
strikers were seeking to get into the order
The application was denied until an investiga-
tion can be made.
Joseph l.. Evans, one OF the organizers of
d. A. No. 3, was shown the telegram. He
stated that it was evidently mistake. a.,
there was no strike among the sheet iron
workers in this vicinity. The only nom
union sheet mill is that of Wood & Sons. at
McKeesport, and he did not think any ef-
fort had been made by the men there to
organize. The Amalgamated Association
tried TO organize them in 1886 into sWel-
come Stranger" Lodge, but the proprietors
of the mill discharged all the union men.
A strike was declared and it ended in less
than six weeks. The mill has remained
non-union since that time. If the men
wanted to organize they would have to do it
through either Organizers Evans, Hughes
or Doyle, of this city.

Electric Company,of Boston, passed through
the city last night en- route to the Pullman
shops, Pullman, ILL.,, where Mr.. Grant will

electrical matters both gentlemen said that
the new storage system is bound to be the
power Of the future for street cars, but that
it may take long time TO perfect it. There
are three companies now in New York ex-
perimenting with the primary principle to
try and evolve some little SESAME" that
shall make the system a success.
Mr.. Grant stated that it may take long
time to effect the evolution, SO that the
prospects of the several companies in Pitts
