TO DIVIDE THE DOODLE.

A Colored Man Wanted to Give Roger
O'Marn Half His Winnings.
A colored man walked into Inspector Nc
Aleese's Office yesterday and was arrested.
After he had gone, Assistant Superintendent
O'Mara said the colored man, whose name
is Paul Coleman, has been impersonating a
detective in Jeanette for several days. His
object was explained by O'Mars when he
said that Coleman was the best billiard
player in the State, and one Of the sharpest
card crooks In the country. He victimized
several parties at Jeanette.
Coleman was seen at the Central station
last night and said: 81 went to Jeanette
and wanted to get into ~ game that was go-
ing on. They wouldn't let me in because
I was coon. Then told them was q de-
tective and had been sent up there BY
O'Mara to look out for them and I showed
them a pair Of handouts. They let me
play then, and won $29. left the next
day and I went to Blairsvil1e, and PLAYED
the same racket for couple Of days. 1 won
altogether about S79 above my expenses.
Then I thought would come home, and
was just going up to give Mr. O'Mara $40
for the consideration of the use of his name.
I think that would be square, to give him
half, as I'm q mighty square man. He
wouldn't listen to me when offered it to
him. I guess he must have been mad
about something else when went in, for he

MINERS ARE FOOLED.
They Could Have Received a Better
Rate, if They Had Tried.
THEK.P.U. OFFICIALS CONDEMNED
District Assembly 8, Of the Z. Of L., Holds q
Quarterly Meeting.
THE STRIKE AT CHESS IRON WORKS

The rate for mining in the railroad dis
trict of Western Pennsylvania has been set
tied, but there will likely be a number Of
small strikes during the year owing to the
trouble between the National Progressive
Union and the knights of Labor. The lat
ter organisation has finally agreed to accept
the rates proposed, but say that had it not
been for the interference on the part Of the
N. P. o., that q better rate could have been
secured. The N, P. q. members and Off
GERS now say that they will not accept the
terms offered and strikes will be the result
at every mine where they have control.
The officials of the K. of L. say that if
the miners had made stand that they could
easily have secured q straight 74-cent rate
for the entire year, beginning May 1. In
proof of this statement they claim that ex-
Congressman W. L. Scott, of Erie, whose
mines are located at Scott Haven, on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, made
A CONTRACT LAST WEEK
for / 200, 900 tons of coal based on 74-cent
rate. As he will only be compelled to pay
71H cents per ton for mining he will make
$4,000 more than he expected on
the contract, 90 Master Workman
Rea, of N. 7. A. 1876, K. Of L., claims.
Other operators, 1t is said, have taken con-
tracts based on q 74-cent rate for mining,
and If the diggers had made stand for this
price it would undoubtedly have been con-
ceded. The operators of course were will
ing to sign an agreement to pay q low rate
if possible to secure the men.
National Secretary Watchorn in speak
ing of the wage question last evening said:
"The Ohio miners and operators are satis-
fed with the rate fixed, and as there is
likely to be trouble among the N. P. q.
miners in Western Pennsylvania, great
deal Of the trade that would have come here
Will go to the Hooking Valley. We pro-
pose to issue manifesto in the near future
EXPLAINING THE SITUATION
to the miners, whether they are members Of
our association or not, and tell them how
the rate was fixed. am friendly to the N.
P. q. members, and, in fact, all organized
labor, whether they are members of our
order or not, but do not approve OF one
man influencing large number to accept
lower wages than they could receive by
making brief fight. The Knights of Labor
miners are in the majority here and all will
have work, while the N. P. q. men, if they
insist on an advance, will remain idle"
President John Mcbride left last night
for Ohio, and before quitting the city an
nounced that he also intended to issue cir
cular, and when the circulars from the
heads of the two rival miners organizations
are published the public will probably be
in better position to understand which
side is right

The Ex. .Governor Was Very Anxious About

Ex-Governor Pattison passed through the
city last evening bound for Chicago. He
is very much interested in the war Mr.. Car

He said: "When Twas Governor I was
anxious to see the South Penn built. did
all could to promote its construction, but
Mr.. Carnegie and a few others thought
there were unsumountable difficulties in
the way, and the project was abandoned.
What the people of the State need is com

thing lacking. Another railroad would in

the city amazingly.
''It Is true the people must pay tribute to
the Pennsylvania road for the advantage Of
the Western States The farmers and ship
pers IN the interior of the State suffer the
most. It costs them as much to send their
cattle and grain TO Philadelphia or Pitts

his products to the Eastern markets. The
result is that the farming interests are dry

ONE SHIP RAILWAY,
Away Up North, Progressing Very
Nicely, Says Colonel Andrews.
SOME INTERESTING COMPARISONS
Between ChignOtic and Tehuantepec Lines,
North and South. ed
TWO GOVERNMENTS ARE CoSTRAsTED

J. A j.
Colonel James Andrews, Of Allegheny,
who went East a day or 50 ago, said before he
left that he had received letter lately from
some of the contractors engaged in building
the Chignoctic Ship Railway, between the
Bay Of Fundy and the Gulf of St. Law
renee, in which great progress Is reported,
the winter having been very favorable for
the work. The success Of the project is as
sured, as it. has been subsidized by the
British Government to the extent of $780,
900 annually for 20 years.
Although the Dominion is thus proving
It's anxiety to further the work, the benefit
accruing TO lts population from the railway
is but small when compared to the benefit
which will be derived by the United States
in its fishing industries Of Maine. The
railway is II miles in length, and the con-
tractors agree to have 1t finished about Au-
gust, 1890.
LIKE THE TEHUANTEPEc.
1t is being built on the same principle as
the proposed Tehuantepec Ship Railway,
and promises to be great success The en-
gineers and builders are Sir Benjamin
Baker and Sir John fowler, the latter of
the two probably being the most prominent
English engineer Of the day. having built
the great bridge across the Firth of Forth
in Scotland.
Speaking in regard to the Tehuantepec en-.
terprise, Colonel Andrews said: "That the
Mexican Government is greatly interested
in the work, is manifested by the fact that
about month ago it applied for space in
the Paris Exposition In order to place on
view q model Of the entire work. Having
received the grant short time ago, 1t is
preparing to ship complete model, which
will no doubt assist the scheme extensively.
QUITE A CONTRAST.
Speaking of the latter in connection with
the Canadian shiprailway, it is peculiar to
notice that, while our Northern neighbors
are willing to sacrifice large sum annu-
ally for the benefit of a thing from which
they will never receive the greatest benefit,
our Government does not guarantee single
cent. BY subsidizing the company our sue
cess would, of course, be assured"
Colonel Andrews also referred to the oft
repeated arguments as to the feasibility Of
the different schemes for inter-oceanic con-
nection, dwelling particularly on the inn
proved commercial conditions which would
result if any one Of the proposed schemes
were materialiZed

The Boiler Manufacturers Inspect Pittsburg
Iron and Steel Mills.
The convention of boiler manufacturers
of the country closed yesterday with very
pleasant tour of the city and visit to the
leading iron and steel mills Of this section.
They left the Hotel Anderson about $50
o'clock in carriages and inspected the
works of Park Bros. & Co. and Shoenberger
& Co. About IL o'clock the party boarded
the steamer Mayfower and went to Nc
Keesport, where they saw how the National
Tube Works Company make pipe. The
boat then proceeded to Homestead, and the
visitors were shown through the extensive
steel plant of Carnegie, Phipps & Co.
A magnificent lunch was served on the
boat, and the party returned to the city
about Z o'clock last evening.
An informal meeting was held on the
steamer, at which it was decided to adjourn
until October 16, when the next convention
will be held, and manufacturers of iron and
steel for boilers will be requested to brand
all plates with the initials of the associa-
ton, A. B. M. A. Committees were then
appointed on manholes, rivsting and calk-
ing, bracing and Staying, safety valves,
boiler materials and slot valves and gauges.
These committees were instructed to report
at the next meeting.
The excursion was in charge of Captain
Lew Clark and was the first trip the boat has
made this season.

STRIKE AT CHESS MILL.

Union Men In the Rolling Department Go
Ont to the Number OF 15O-Unprsce.
dented stagnation ofthe Nail Trade.
There is strike at Chess, Cook & Co.'S
mill on the Southsids, which has been
sanctioned by the Amalgamated Associa-
ton. One of the boss rollers is a member
of the Knights Of Labor, and was asked to
join the Amalgamated Association but de-
clined. The firm was asked to discharge
the man, but refused.
The men. numbering about 150, immedi-
ately went out on strike and the mill is
closed.
This strike is reminder of the exceed
ingly dull situation in the nail business,
which constitutes another and quite i'm
portant branch of the Chess, Cook B Co con-
Germ. Nail manufacturing is at present the
dullest division of the iron and steel busi-
ness. This is usually the opening of the
spring trade; but now it is at q perfect
standstill, and duller than ever.
Not q single nail machine il in opera
tion, and it has been four weeks since the
factory of So machines in the American
Mill of Jones & Laughlln's was shut down.
This firm, though not having the largest
factory, turned out more nails in the last
two years than any of the other nail firms
in the city. Their daily output has been
about 400 kegs, and during the time their
factory was in operation this year they
turned out little over $4,000 kegs.
The factory of 100 machines Of Chess,
Cook & Co. is the leading factory in Pitts
burg; but in the hast three months not even
half the machines averaged half time, and
it is now over three weeks since the mill
shut down, during which time not more
than 10. 900 kegs of nails were made in it,
making the whole lot made this year not
more than $4,000 kegs, which is not even
enough to supply the home trade. Begin
ming with the 1st Of April, the home con-
sumption Of nails runs upward of $4,000
kegs a month.

The Trans- Ohio Divisions Of the B. a. o.

According to telegram from Newark,
O., last evening, the talk Of threatened
strike on the Baltimore and Ohio system,
should an attempt be made to compel the
employees to accept the new plan of in
surance, is without any foundation in fact.
so far as the trans-Ohio divisions are con-
cerned. n8a
In Newark alone, which is the general
headquarters on that side of the Ohio river,
the company employs about l. 900 men. Al
most 900 of these are employed in the great
shops at Newark. In canvass among the
men employed in the shops there are but few
who object to the plan or its expense. OF
all the men employed at Newark, every one
has taken the insurance except one, and he
was not discharged. AL Of these signed
the paper of their own accord. -
Of the men In the transportation depart
ment at Newark, there are some who oppose
the scheme, but as they continue at work,
they will probably take it.
Mr.. w. H. Harrison, Superintendent OF
Motive Power. who had just returned from
u VI oAOuS bnC Alue SalQ ID NEWARK yeBUeT-
day that there was no likelihood of trouble.
He explained the feature Of the insurance
by saying, as the old association charter had
been annulled. that all that::was asked was a
transfer to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company. In case of suit the company
would be responsible, whereas the other as
ISOLATION was not. He said that in Newark
the employees were all furnishing themselves
homes, and by this plan, if one was sick,
he was paid benefits, and if death ensued,
accidental or natural, the company paid the
amount on the home, equivalent to the
amount of insurance on the employee, and
the deed was transferred to the widow or
dependent ones. 1t was the easiest and
cheapest way Of securing home.
He placed the difficulty on the Chicago
division to the continual agitation Of what
he terms insurance sharks" and claimed
the kickers belonged to the class that never
saved a cent for themselves or any one else.
The men on the Pittsburg division still
object to the new relief feature; but they do
not anticipate any trouble. Occasionally
an employe is found who indorses the plan;
but they are few and far between.

SERIOUS RAILROAD WRECK.

Express No. 1e on the P. & L. Z. r. r. Goes
Over an Embankment at Full Speed
lIiraculous Escape Of 40 Passengers.
Forty people had thrilling experience
on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad
last night. They were passengers ON the
through express, which should have arrived
in this city at 9 o'clock, city time.
The train is known as "No. 49," It was
half an hour behind time, and was thunder
ing along at the rate Of 30 miles an hour 10
make this up.
Just at o'clock the express was within
half mile Of Coraopolis, or II miles from
Pittsburg, when the flying locomotive
jumped the track. Its speed was 50 great
that the ponderous wheels plowed up the
earth, tore up rails and splintered cross ties
q distance of fully 80 feet, and then fell
over an embankwent. It rolled around in
such manner as to finally rest completely
upside down. The engine, cab and tender
were totally wrecked. l.fst. a,
The baggage car followed the engine and
was also smashed up. Its ruins took FIRE
but the flames were quickly extinguished.
The windows, seats and stoves in the passen-
ger coaches were broken to pieces, but on ac-
count OF the warm weather there had been
no fire in the stoves, thus saving possible
holocaust. The sleeping car was thrown
clear across the track and partially over
turned.
The fireman was severely bruised owing
to the tumbling about he got in the cab.
John r. Dick, Of Providence. r. L, was
cut across the head. Seven or eight other
passengers we're more or less scratched and
bruised. That among 40 passengers not Q
serious casualty occurred, is considered
miraculous. The women were terribly
frightened BY the shock and subsequent
confusion, but Conductor D. L.
Reynolds did all in his power
to restore confidence and make his charges
comfortable. A relief train was summoned
by telegraph from the Southside. II
reached the scene Of the accident in 40
minutes, and after the main track and
switch had been rebuilt brought all the
passengers to town. They arrived here
shortly before midnight.

An Economy Farmer Trimmed Up BY n
shrewd Confidence Man.
A shrewd confidence man who is doing
business on small scale has been reaping
rich harvest in Allegheny during the past
week. Yesterday he met an old Economy
farmer at the Ft. Wayne depot and at once
proceeded to cultivate his acquaintance.
He asked the man if his name was not
Michael Hope, Of Economy, and on being
informed that he was addressing that gen.
tleman, at once convinced him that they
had met before.
He then took him over to the Red Lion
Hotel, and induced him to cash check for
$40. The obliging farmer advanced the
money and agreed to wait until the stranger
returned. He got tired waiting, however,
and proceeded to Allegheny, where he showed
the check to the Allegheny police authorl-
ties. 1t was pronounced ''no good" and
the man went home, much wiser than when
he came.
