DOWN ON HEBREWS.

A Convert to the Opposite Religion Made
Some Impressive Utterances in a Leo
ture Last Evening.
A lecture of most impressive character
was delivered in the First R. P. Church, on
Grant street, last night by George j. Lind
ner, the converted Hebrew. His subject was
Hebrew Traditions About the Genealogy and
Miracles of Jesus" In the course of his re-
marks, Mr.. Lndner said:
There are lamentations over the falling away of
many in Israel recent issue of aJewish period
ical mentioned the extremely small percentage of
Jews in this country, who recognize the obliga-
tions of the synagogue and their religion. There
is widespread infdelity and utter abandonment of
God and religion among them. If state that not
5 per cent OF the Hebrews keep their Sabbath do
not exaggerated God forbid that should taunt
Judaism with this facti Our hearts must too often
bleed over the defections in our own ranks.
fact that such . condition of things
among them would be but logical result of their
historical position. If Judaism to-day has no
hope, no future, then it has no God, and, there
fore, Is religion. For the God who planted
Judaism in the earth and placed within it the
germs, which have since blossomed forth. in full
fllment of his purposes, into the Christian re-
hgion, that God can now be- understood and
reached in acceptable service only by means of the
promised development of that system. Judaism
ITSELF consequently, can no longer be the way to
God, and we need not be surprised if men fail to
find Him there, or lose Him from view, while con-
unuing to follow its now purposeless leading.

had got. and said he had perfect right to do
as he had done. He said he paid Is cents to
hear the lecture, and, as it was not thel efore,
in a church, but lecture room, he thought he
had the privilege of asking any question he
wished. His account Of the affair greatly
varied from his actions in the church and from
the language used.
At the conclusion of the lecture Elder Crafts
arose and made motion that the audience
ask Judge White not to grant Mr.. Kellar a
license. The motion was adopted.
Mr.. Christy said: II think Kellar will find
out that after May l, prohibition will prohibit
as far as he is concerned.
The lecture by Mr. Small was the same as
that delivered in East Liberty about ten months
ago and in Braddock this week. In substance,
it was the story of his life; of how he had bat
tied against the drinking habit. He told in
beautiful language of the pleadings and inter-
cessions of his wife, and what she did to save
him from the grave of drunkard. After Is
years of drinking he reformed, and for the past
four years has been trying to save others.

He In Wary of the Interviewer in His Old
Dnys-FIghting Rheumatism and De-
voted to PiOus Uses.
Judge Thu rman was at the depot last
evening going to Washington for a few
days to attend to some legal business. The
Old Roman leaned wearily on a staff and
the strong arm of his grandson as he walked
into the restaurant His face is still bright
and between the twinges of rheumatism that
rack his bones he laughs pleasantly as in the
good old days when Edmunds and he went out
of the Senate to ''see man." His body gives
strong evidence of physical weakness, and he
hobbies about, stopped in the shoulders, like
an old broken down war horse Since the cleo
tion, too, the Judge has become wary of the
interviewer, and he is as Sphinx-like in his con-
versation as Matthew Stanley.
'Ah, boys" he began, II am out of politics
am 0evoting all my. time now to pious uses
Ny bones are full of rheumatism and 1 have
had hard time lighting it this winter. l am
going to Washington, but certainly not as an
Office seeker. don't see why the Ohio Repub-

masters walk the plank in lively style.
DO you know l never saw Editor Halstead
in my life. His rejection by the Senate is
within party lines, and as l am civil man
have no desire to mix myself up in their
squabbles."
When asked what he thought of union with
Canada, the Old Roman answered facetiously:
According to the doctrine of manii est destiny
America was to gobble up the earth and few
of the outlying planets. This used to be good
Democratic doctrine and suppose is still in
force. don't know what Ben Butterworth or
John Sherman want. am not acquainted
with their IDEAS"
Judge Thurman refused to talk Democratic
politics. He hadn't heard of Whitney's scheme
to make Cleveland President in 1892, and he
wouldn't talk of his sons candidacy for the
Governorship Of Ohio.

A RAILROAD RECEIvERSHIP.

The Appointment of w. C. Quincy as suc-
cessor of the Late John Scott Desired
by the Minority Stockholders of the A.
". RE.
Deep interest is felt in the appointment
OF new associate Receiver for the Allegheny
Valley Railroad. The death of John Scott
left vacancy which the courts must fill
shortly. The surviving Receiver is w. n.
Barnes. He will succeed to the Presidency Of
the A. V. r. R., also made vacant by Mr..
Scott's death.
As Mr. Barnes is Treasurer of the PennsyI-
vania Railroad, he will still represent the in
terests of that corporation in/the Allegheny
Valley Railroad in his dual capacity of Presi-
dent and Receiver. Formerly Mr.. Scott repre-
sented the minority stock of the Allegheny
Valley Railroad as Receiver and President.
Now, the minority realize the importance Of
securing the appointment of strong man to
take Mr.. Scotts place and guard their inter-
ests. Especially are they anxious about this
appointment in view of the litigation pending
between the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
and the Allegheny Valley Railroad Company.
Some of the minority have suggested the ap-
pointment of Thomas NJ. King, of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, as the new receiver.
However, the wise heads. much as they admit
his strength, are afraid to hand his name to the
courts. because they believe the Pennsylvania
Railroad would wage bitter fight on him, and
then owing to Mr.. King long connection with
the management of the Allegheny Valley Rail-
road, they might say HE knows too much"
Mr.. Q. Quincy, formerly Manager of the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad, has also
been suggested as the new receiver. 1t is
probable that the courts will be asked by the
minority to appoint him to the position. Hell

Railroad, of Jones Laughlins, and that firm

FT. WAYNE AFTER IT,

of New Brighton Road
is ANOTHER. MONOPOLISTIC DEAL.
Another Line for the P, A. &M. or the
Electric Into Bellevue.
WILL THE PLEASANT VALLEY TAKE TIP

Whitney 8 Stephenson, representing a
syndicate, have purchased the Allegheny
and New Brighton Turnpike Company's
franchises. The head of the syndicate is
Joseph S. Brown, who seems to be attempting
to get his hooks deeply into Bellevue, having
lately purchased its elevator and inclined
plane at Davis Island dam. The company
selling the Allegheny and New Brighton
turnpike control the road as far as Jacks
run, and the names of the principal stock
holders were Hugh Fleming, William Lees,
Conrad Dietrich, w. H. Walker, j. G.
Forester, Clay and Lincoln Forester, Thomas
NJ. Bayne, NJ c., A. M. Watson, ESQ.,, j.
G. Pontefract, William, W. H., s. c., John
and Henry Walker, Jr.
There was a lively fight to get possession.
but the purchasers had secured an option
several months ago and their pole was the one
that knocked the persimmon. The property
stands the sellers S125 600 and the price paid is
nearly 100000.
The buyers were offered nice sum for their
option, but refused to take it, and the strenu-
business with which they held has given rise to
much speculation as to what use the road Is to
be put Whitney and Stephenson declined to
say WnaL Lne 0DlecL was, DuI ls Salu ny ooho
that the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and Chicago
Railway Company wants the road in order to
prevent its falling into the hands of traction
or electric railway company that
might cut off much traffic from the
first named. 1t is also said that the Pittsburg,
Allegheny and Manchester and the Pleasant
Valley Railway Companies have been casting
wistful eyes on the road, and would pay
smartly for it. ]. D. Watson, Esq, however,
says he can show the Pittsburg, Allegheny and
Manchester a road into Bellevue Independent
of the Allegheny and New Brighton turnpike.
The value of the route is pointed out from
the fact that it runs through one cemetery,
and is bounded on one side by another, and
that avenues cannot be cut through the abodes
of the dead nearly SO easily as through those of
the living. 1t would bankrupt almost any cor
poration to force a way through cemetery
unless it were in the market.
Some people suggest that the buyers may be
put to the same trouble as was the Ohio and
Pennsylvania Railroad Company which appro-
priated the old Beaver road and was forced to
furnish another in its place. Some people
who drive on the turnpike are cross, claiming
that traction or an electric road would ruin
1t for driving purposes. 1t appears, however,
that the buyers have no fears on this score.
Evidently it has been decided that the horse
must go as public motive power in the city,
and some say that If a shift can be made to get
along with scary horses on Fifth avenue it
will be less dificult to overcome this objection
on the Allegheny and New Brighton turnpike.

The Milk Dealers Draw Up Constitution
They Express Themselves Determined to
Fight the c. G. C.
The distance between the milk dealers and
the CHARTERS Creamery Company, as agent
for the Producers Association, is as wide as
ever. Mr.. Reed, of the latter, claims that
he is gaining on the dealers at every turn;
but they express themselves just as deter
mined as on last Friday night, that they will
not buy any milk from him. There is already
large element OF truth in their statement, be-
cause out of l, AS gallons of milk which arrived
at the Fort Wayne depot yesterday morning,
the creamery company it is alleged, only got
4Sl gallons.
Mr.. Reed has stored the greater part of his
supply in his storage house on Liberty street.
Mr.. McCutcheon, the Milk Inspector, went
there Yesterday to examine the fluid as to its
fitness for sale. The creamery company claims,
however, that they are not going to sell any Of
it, but will make butter of it.
Whatever the lacteal warfare amounts to-
there has not been report from anywhere in
dicating that consumers are suffering,
The dealers made great move toward unity
of action last night by drawing up a constitu-
tion and bylaws governing the organization of
the milk dealers of Pittsburg and Allegheny.
The committee met at Mr.. ]. P. Walkers store,
on Grant street, at o'clock. Mr.. Walker was
elected Chairman, and Mr.. John Espin, Of
Allegheny, Secretary. While the men refused
to state the details of their constitution, it was
said the object of the organization will be to
protect the interests of the dealers and main
tain uniformity of price.

Mrs. Bailey Points Out How Prohibition
Will Reduce Taxation-An Enthusiastic
Woman Gives Her Views.
Mrs. Bailey, the eminent temperance
worker, from Minnesota. is in the city. She
has been stumping Fayette, Greene and
Washington counties in the interest of pro-
hibition since January, and will remain in Al
legheny county for the next month.
Mrs. Bailey admits that prohibition has not
been as successful in Iowa as in Kansas. Iowa
Republicanism is not Kansas Republicanism.
However, the prohibitory law had already
done a vast deal of good in Iowa, and it is
being better enforced every day. She said:
Prohibition will reduce taxation. The loss
of the revenues from whisky will be moth
ing. The court at Uniontown just closed
tried 81 cases. 50 of which were caused
by liquor. The trial of two of these
cases alone cost more than the reve-
nues yielded by the six distilleries in the
county per year. In Greene county the trial
county $4,000. The revenues from the two dis
tiIleries in the county is S., 1855 in year. yet
thatmurder can be traced directly to the use of
four gallons of whisky. This Is how prohibi-
ton will reduce taxation.
Mrs Bailey said that Francis Murphy was
bridge so that he could have the pleasure of
pulling the victims out of the water He is
looking after his pocketbook," !" she added.
Mrs Bailey does not believe either that pro-
hibition will put the sale of whisky into the
hands Of disreputable people. She is anxious
to have Pennsylvania declare itself against
whisky for the influence of its example on
other States. The lady reports the interest as
growing rapidly, and she predicts sweeping
victory for Prohibitionsts.

A GENERAL STRIKE
VIII Likely Occur in the CouneIIsvilIe Coke
Region Next Week.

VIII Likely Occur In the ConnelIsvilIe Coke
Region Next Week.
A reduction of about 81 per cent was
ordered by Robert Hogsett at his Lemont
Coke Works yesterday. The miners refused
to go to work and struck. The drawers are
pulling their. ovens, and work will be en-
tirely suspended to-day. About $50 men are
thrown out by the strike. A similar reduction
was ordered at Hogsett's Mt. Braddock works,
which the men accepted and continued work.
At Percy, Kyle, Fairchance and Plummer sim
liar reductions have been effected quietly, the
reduction being the same as that made at the
Frick works. However, this reduction still
maintains the old difference of 81 per cent
lower wages for the small producers than the
wages paid by Frick.
The Youngstown Coke Works have been
closed down this week for lack Of orders. They
will be started up this morning at the same re-
duction as the others have accepted
In speaking of the labor outlook in the coal
region, Peter Wise, the Master Workman OF
the Knights of Labor, said: 1.-The coke region
will either see general strike on the 18th OF
April or general scale signed by all the opera
tors in the region" He expects two-thirds OF
the region to be represented at the convention
called for next Saturday, and believes that the
delegates will be in favor of a strike unless
such sliding scale is adopted. From the
sentiments expressed by some operators they
would welcome such strike as tending to
elevate the price of coke, and they don't think
any of the operators will sign the scale now.
While the men cannot see much to be thank
full for at the low wages now paid, and about
half time they are making, some Of them would
not like to see strike. They say that in such
poor fighting condition are they that the
whole Connellsville region together with what
assistance they have been able to CLEAN from
the Gallitzin and Georges creek regions, has
barely been sufficient to support the handful Of
men who were locked out at Beeson on Feb
ruary l, and are still idle. From this they
argue that they will do well to accept what
they can get and await a more prosperous state
of the coke trade in which to insist on the
operators adopting the sliding scale they con-
tend for.

THE P. & W. PRESIDENCY.

Someone Must be Chosen Acceptable to
Drexel, Morgan & Co.
The regular meeting of the stockholders
of the Pittsburg and Western road will be
held next Monday, and successor to Mr..
Gallery will be chosen at that time. For the,
present, Vice President Thomas, of Drexel-
Morgan Co., is acting President.
1t is not believed that Mr.. Thomas will ac
cept the Presidency as it would be necessary
for him to live in Pittsburg, and he has no de-
sire to change his residence
Drexel, Morgan & Co. hold the bonds Of the
road, and whoever is elected will have to be
acceptable to them. Harry Oliver and John
Chalfant have been mentioned, but Mr.. Oliver
has said, through The DISPATCH, that
he doesn't want the presidency and it is
conceded that Mr.. Chalfant is too old man to
manage the interests of the road.
1t Is possible that Drexel. Morgan q Co. will
select some Eastern man for President.
