IN THEIR NEW QUARTERS.
The Allegheny Board of School Controller
Handsome Meeting Place.

The Allegheny Board of School Controllers
Handsome Meeting Place.
The handsome new room in the Allegheny
High School set apart for the Board of
School Controllers was used by that body
for the first time last night at their regular
monthly meeJing. President Young was in
the chair. The election of Katie E. Emp
field in the First ward, Madge Gilmore and
Margaret B. Neyman in the..Fifth ward and
Louisa Baumbaeh in the Seventh ward, was
the first business transacted.
The question on resolution to employ
ten additional writing teachers was then
taken up. There was quite q little discus
sion on the matter and it developed that the
salaries of the ten would amount to s.. 500
year. A motion to indefinitely postpone ae-
ton on 1t was unanimously carried.
The recommendation of the High School
Committee that the board formally accept
the new building from the contractors was
complied with. The Finance Committee
reported in favor Of the issue of $50, 900 in
bonds to clear the indebtedness on the new
building, and that the action of the board,
taken on July 2, when the same amount Of
bonds were issued, be rescinded. The latter
on account of slight error in drawing them
up. The new bonds were decided on and
the former action of the board was rescinded.
The bonds will bear interest at per cent
and will be cancelled at intervals to maturity
in IL years. A tax amounting to So, 900 an
nuslly will be levied for the purpose.

The Boarding House Thief In Dire Distress
Through Being Too Well Known.
Charles McVickers, the young man who
was arrested Monday afternoon for attempt
ing robbery at the boarding house of Mrs.
McSteen, at 2212 Penn avenue, made con-
tession to the police yesterday, in which he
said he had been working his game on
boarding houses in the two cities ever since
last August. About 40 persons called at
the Central station yesterday to identify
him, but thus far only six have recognized
him as the one who had victimized them.
McVicker's parents live at Glenshaw, out
the Pittsburg and Western Railroad, and
are highly respectable people.
Among those who called to identify him
yesterday the following persons positively
recognized him as having worked his conf
dence game on them: D. H. Walker. %
Anderson street, Allegheny; W. E. Nabb,
SO Liberty street, Allegheny; Mrs. Clark,
40 Sandusky street, Allegheny, and
her boarder, Henry Holden; Mrs.
Jane McMillen, 81 Sampson street,

Mrs. Clark's he got sos and new suit of
clothes of her boarder, Henry Holden, be-
side clock and number of other articles,
and at Mrs. McMillen's he got two suits Of
clothes and a number of other articles.
Clothing was the principal part of his
booty, and be SOLD it to secondhand dealers.

McNickers is not over q years of age, and
is nice, intelligent looking young man.
He will be held at Central station for
further Identification, and will probably get
a hearing tomorrow.

THE ENGINEERS SOCIETY.

Dynamite at Johusr0wB \ Theme for Dis
cusalOn-PaDers Read b. ArthHr Kirk
and Major Phillips.
The regular meeting Of the Western
Pennsylvanis Engineers Society was held
last evening. Mr.. j. A. Brashear presided.
-Four new members were elected, Messrs.
W. g. Bell, @. Il. W. Ruhe, J. E. Wolf
and W. A. Cornelius. The feature Of the
meeting was paper read by Arthur Kirk
IN relation to his work at JohustoWn in
blasting away the drift at the bridge. Mr..
Kirk gave brief description Of the situa
ton in the Conemaugh Valley when he pro-
eeeded there, and then detailed his oper =
tions with dynamite.
The mass at the bridge, he said. b7 actual
measurement was $50 feet wide extending
800 feet mp the stream, and had an averags
depth Of 20 feet. At some places in tbs
middle OF the stream it was over 40 feet dean.
II was so interviewer with telegraph wirs
and tree roots and solidifed with sand ard
gravel, as to form such combination a.
there never was In the world before. Dyns-
mite was the only thing that could remove
1t, and bad that not been used it wonld Be-
there yet. Mr.. Kirk concluded with an in
teresting description of his work blasting
the drift, and also In bringing down the
walls that had been left standing Of The
Roman Catholic Church. He amended =
review Of many valuable uses 10 which
dynamite can be put.
Major Phillips, who had charge Of the
work of opening the channel Of the river.
also gave q few features of that tasI.
Eighteen thousand two hundred pounds Of
dynamite were used in all. CHARGES we're
fired ranging from five % 400 pounds II
dynamite each.

RIVER MINER MATTERS.
The Garfield Mine Only Paid the Increase for
Few Bushels.

The Garfield Mine Only Paid the Increase for
Few Bushels.
The fact that the owners of the Garfield
Mine found it convenient to pay their
miners cents per bushel for a few thou
sand bushels is not to be taken as an indica-
ton that the operators generally have any
disposition to grant the half cent demanded.
The mine in question is the property Of N.
Holmes & Sons Bank, and is leased by j.
s. Neel, of Wood street.
When his miners went on strike they left
a boat partly filled, and Mr.. Neel, having a
market for the load, agreed to pay his men
3 cents for the 1000 or 5000 bushels of coal
required to load it. The boat was loaded
yesterday, and the mine is again idle.
A leading operator in speaking about the
prospects for the winter said: "While
have nothing but the friendliest feeling for
the men, and would willingly pay them
cents per bushel if could afford it, if the
rest of the operators are of my mind, the
strike will continue into next spring. The
men seem to think that we will be driven to
mine in short time, owing to a supposed
scarcity of coal down river. This is not so.
The fact is that the Southern market is over
stocked, and this is the case between Mem
phis and New Orleans. At Louisville there
is enough coal to last until February or
March, and at Cincinnati there is about two
months supply. The action of the miners
is only driving trade from this port, and
playing into the hands of the Kanawha op-
orators, who mine at 2 cents per bushel, and
give the Kentucky and Alabama mine
owners an opportunity of getting hold in
the market"
"Now," continued this gentleman, "if the
miners had had any discretion at all, or had
given the exigencies of the case any intelli-
gent consideration, they would have seen
that they could not have chosen worse
time than the present to prefer a demand
for better pay. The season, the markets and
the condition of trade are against them, and
yet they allow few leaders among them to
throw them idle without giving these facts
due consideration. I must say, though, that
all the miners do not take the view generally
accredited to them, for when the 100 men
employed at Bailey, Wilson & Co.'s Ali
quippa Mines took a vote on the question
of striking for the half cent, 80 of them
voted for continuing at thepresent rate, and
only Is voted for strike"

Rivnl Mining Factions Preparing to Fight
for the Supremacy.
John McBride's call for convention of
the National Progressive Union of the five
States to meet at indianapolis on the 18th
Of December, will be fraught with graver
results than appear on the surface The
ostensible object of the convention is the
form ulation of a scale of prices for mining,
to take effect throughout the five States, but
those intimately acquainted with mining
affairs profess to see in Mr.. McBride's call,
the summoning of the entire strength of the
N. P. o. to prepare for active hostilities
against their rivals of the Il. of L.
On the other hand National Trades As
sembly 135, knights of Labor, has issued
call for convention of representatives of
miners over the whole country, irrespective
of organization, to meet at Columbus in
January, and, for some time past, extensive
preparations for a big assemblage of dele
gates have been under way. Already a
large number of delegates have been ap-
pointed, and every exertion will be made BY
the N. T, A. to bring forth such gathering
of representative men as to dispose of for
ever the question of supremacy as between
the two rival organizations. A well-known
leader among the miners SAID yesterday that
he did not think the n. P. q. would be able
to muster more than representation of 20, 900
men at the convention, and of this number
some 200 or 800 would be the representation
from Pennsylvania. The total number of
miners in the country is 10000. 1t is not
possible to conjecture how the contest will
be conducted or whether any good to either
union will result from it. but it seems clear
that as long as divisions continue to exist
between them that no general scale of
wages, going into effect over the country.
can be formulated, and that the operators
will continue to experience the same diff

have in the past

day.
Mr.. Kimberland and others are delving
into comparatively new, but tolerably well
defined territoryin West Virginia and there
are operators who have unbounded conf
dence that within few weeks they will
strike it rich in Somerset county, this State.
The mistakes of the anti-Mosaie geologists
have be so many as to induce development

many of these unscientifc people have made
lucre, though, of course, but a fraction of
the entire number.
The Davis well, on the Steubenville pike,
is hummer, and its production, though the
crust only is cracked, is estimated at 500 to
300 barrels day. and the Arbuckle and
Aiken wells are still putting out at profit
able rate.
A 7O-barrel well was also broughtin in the
old Shamburg field, near TitusTille. It is
owned by George Hurd and the Lowry
brothers. This was also a condemned field,
which shows the possibility Of an aftermath
that may vet restore life to Pitthole City,
whose destruction was as complete as that Of
the apocslyptie Babylon, though its insec-
tiyerous anatomy was too fragile to leave
any ruins on which the future New Zealand
er may speculate. It is just possible thatall
the second sand in that territory was not
flooded under the old-time slovenly methods
which allowed the water to drown out the oil.

The Forest Oil Company has decided to
put down four more wells in the Grafton

AFTER SAND-BOATS,
Hon. Walter Lyon to Keep
Them Off the Rivers.
THE INITIATIVE TAKEN.
The RiVer-Men Are ClanOring For
the Removal of Boats.
BIG INTERESTS TO BE INVADED.

Hon. Walter Lyon, Q. S. District Attor-
ney, is preparing to fire legal bombshell at
an industry which has thriven apace for
years in and about Pittsburg, viz, the va
rious sand companies which have lifted
many thousands of tons of sand from the
bed of the river to be incorporated in Pitts
burg's business blocks.
1t was stated by Captain 1. n. Bunton last
night that the matter of shutting out the
dozen or more sand companies from their
never-ceasing disturbance of the river chan
mel, particularly in the vicinity of Davis
Island Dam and the famous and trouble
some Glasshouse rifle, was clearly contem-
plated.
Every fully-detailed afidavitS of q num-
Der of rivermen have been lately taken
by Mr.. Lyon" said Captain Bunton, land
these will, presume, form the basis of the
proceedings against the various sand CON-
panies. which will at first be by notice, and,
if that is disregarded, by iniunctions
through the United States Courts. The
Glass House Rifle vicinity and the Davis
Island Dam have been very
UNFAvoRABLY AFFECTED
l.y the disturbance and partial removal of
portions of the river bed, and when we
went to Mr.. Lyon for an opinion, he stated
that any portion of the beds of the three
rivers were Government property. and their
use as factor In the business of the sand
companies had been merely a matter of suf-
ferance. Mr.. Lyons prompt expression of
opinion has induced us TO open the fight
very vigorously. There has been constant
trouble, too, to boats and tows, caused by the
fashion the sandboats have OF planting
themselves in the very middle of the chan
mel and coolly disregarding the wishes, en-
treaties and manifest necessities of river
men. Our pilots say that Glass House
Rifle is continually changing bottom on &C
count of the operations of sand boats.
'What sand companies will be proceeded
against, Captain?"
II recall to mind the Speer, White and
Monongahela Sand Companies, John K
Dawson & Bro, and, l believe, the Juniata
Sand Company.
LARGE INTERESTS AT STAKE.
In addition to the above the following
companies and individuals have pretty
heavy investments in the sand business: j.
C. Armstrong & Co.. W. J. Baughman,
Dunbar Sand and Stone Company, Lees
burg Sand Company, Mapleton Sand Com
pany, George Sharp, B. c. Slocum, Jr.,
Star Sand Company, Stoltzenbaeh & Pfeil
and George Walters.
An effort was made to call Hon. Walter
Lyon up by telephone at his residence at
Millvale for the purpose of inquiring
whether the intention was to entirely debar
the sand companies from operating in navi-
gable water in or about Pittsburg, but he
could not be reached. There are estimated
to be several millions of dollars invested in
river sand operations in Allegheny county,
and until the scope of the rivermen's antag-
onism is definitely ascertained several stock
holders will be upon the financial qui vive.
