The Brewers Will Go TO the woods-Facts
About the Big Money They Spent
Yesterday Afternoons Meeting.
The Western Pennsylvania Brewers
Association held its regular weekly meeting
yesterday afternoon at No. GO Fourth ave-
nue.. After declaring that the association
has no disposition to gloat over the liquor
mems victory, one of the officers said to re-
porter of The DISPATCH:
"All we have done was to pass a vote of
thanks to Mr.. Theodore Straub for the master
ly manner in which he conducted the campaign
for our organization, that is ALL"
They are very anxious not to appear too
jubilant," said Mr. Josef Bruening, of the Key
stone Brewing Company because 1 was GEN.
sured at the meeting to-day for decorating my
wagons with flags yesterday morning."
The Chairman of the Finance Committee was
requested at yesterdays meeting to make a re-
port, but he said it was not ready yet. All he
had to say was that they had enough money on
hand to meet all the bills, and that they did
not want any more; but he also said that there
would be none left in the treasury after all
obligations had been met.
The reporter was given to understand by one
of the members that about Sl00, ,0O0 had been
spent in the campaign. of which the whisky
pool paid one-third, the rest having been col
lected among the brewers.
Did any brewers from outside of Pennsyl-
No, they did not" the officer replied. I'VE
expected to get something at the Niagara
Falls convention, but when the committee
voted $4,000 to the Johnstown sufferers there
was nothing left for US. However we have
done very well with what we had and / must
say, that in places where we spent the money
we spent it to a good purpose"
SIS your organization going to extend its
labors toward a modification of the Brooks
law"
'No, we are not going to do anything which
might be interpreted as an intention on our
part to take too great an advantag: upon the
strength of our victory. While our organiza-
ton is going to be a permanent one, we are
going to spend several thousands dollars in fix
ing it up. Still we will rejoice on the quiet
without osJentation."
'But you surely are going to do something
to celebrate your victory?"
well. yes, we are going to have a picnic
next week. But ths purpose of that will be to
make our wives acquainted with each other,
and to create general good feeling among all
of us. We will probably have the picnic at
Rock Point"

ported an endowment of s33 900 and an enroll
ment of 95 students. The Pennsylvania COL
lege, at Gettysburg. Pa. reported an endow-
Inent Of $4,000. They have a new building
almost completed. also new memorial
chapel. They have 20l students enrolled. Wit
tenberg College. at Springfield, O., has in the

They have 2S4 students enrolled Seelius
Grove, Pa, Seminary reported an additional
endowment of 5000. They have 93 students.
The German Theological Seminary OF Chi
cago asked for aid, which DR.. ]. +. Geise, of
Cumberland, Md, opposed. Mr.. Nolenburg, of
Richmond, Ind, protested against the Ger
mans being sat down upon.
Mr.. Severnhorn. who is President Of the
Seminary, got the floor and stated that he had
two notes which were signed BY Dr. Geise and
that the money, If it could be collected, was to
be turned over to the seminary. This, he
stated, probably accounted for DIR. Geise's op-
position to the seminary.
There were cries Of SHAME" and much feel
ing was exhibited. An adjournment was i'm:
medlately had. and Mr.. Seyernhorn was asked
on all side to apologize for his attack on DR..
Geise; The matter will not be allowed to drop.

WANTING TO CHANGE.

The Ladies' Relief DESTROYS of Changing
Quarters-They Also Want to Shorten
Their Hours-A Telegram From General
Hastings. t
The Ladies' Relief Committee will hold a
meeting this morning to consider the advisa-
bility of changing their headquarters to the
new Exposition building There was meet
ing last evening for the same purpose. but the
matter was not settled. The change Is pro-
posed for the reason that it will save great
deal of trouble in hauling goods from the Ex-
position building to the Pittsburg Female Col
lege Aside from this, everything will be under
one management. If the change is made 1t is
likely the committee will move tomorrow.
The committee put in a busy day yesterday.
About IS people arrived and were fed. Some
of them came direct from Johnstown, and
others had been visiting friends here and else
where and were going back to the ruined city.
About 30 people were given outfits OF cloth
ing; nearly 1000 pieces were distributed
Among those cared for were Catherine Hart
who was sent to Warsaw, Ind; Mrs. Peter
Eckel and two sons. sent to friends at 20S Ohio
street. Allegheny; Mrs. Joseph Hamilton and
two boys, sent to MassilIon, o.; Mrs. Lydia
Long.
Among the donations received was clothing
of all kinds from various persons and in stitu-
tions. The citizens of Prtstield, Pa, sent S442
in money and clothing. The committee is in
need of pins, needles and other small notions.
A telegram was received from Adjutant Cen
eral Hastings announcing that sufferers would
only be sent on morning trains. This will make
it unnecessary to keep the rooms open through.
out the night, and hereafter they will be closed
at o'clock in the evening.
Miss Ella Irwin, who was sent to Grand Rap
ids, has arrived there safely. The committee
has received letter from the ladies who be-
friended her. These ladies have letters of in

of this city, now of Grand Rapids, to the Cham

average expense to Allegheny county for
each voting precinct is SJ4 so. and as Phila-
delphia county has 1,S27 voting precincts,
the cost of the election in the banner wet
county was not far from S99, 900. A con-
servative estimate was given yesterday by a
man who has had eight years experience in
settling election bills, and his figures of
81, 600, 600 are probably not at all excessive.
Persons ut the Polls.
In certain quarters yesterday some little
excitement was oceasioned by allegations
that the ladies who worked at the polls on
Tuesday last influencing voters and "pedd-
Ing tickets for the drys, were amenable to
law under a section of the general election
laws which seems to have escaped observa-
tion during the campaign just closed. Some
of the women who were conspicuous by their
activity at the polls were in quite futter
of excitement over the matter, believing
they had been in jeopardy of their liberty
under strict construction of section 121 of
the general election law, which reads as fol-
lows:
"If any person not qualified to vote in
this Commonwealth agreeably to law lex
cept the sons of qualified citizens) shall ap-
pear at any place OF election for the purpose
of issuing tickets or of influencing the citi-
zens qualified to vote, he shall, on convic-
tion, forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding
500, and suffer Imprisonment for term not
less than one nor more than six months"
The above section of the general election
law was submitted TO Major A NJ Brown,
whose sound views on constitutional law
are always of interest, with a request for an
opinion as to the possibility of prosecutions
of women working at the polls under its
punitive construction.
"This is another OF the myriad instances
of loosely drawn State laws" said Major
Brown. The definition of the offense and
the characterization of the possible offender
is of the broadest nature in the first few
lines of this section. "Any person" is GER
tainly comprehensive enough to include
women with campaigning tendencies
such as were a feature of the
scenes near polling places on
Tuesday. But when it comes
to a provision of penalty for the defined
offense, the pronoun che" is too explicit to
be mistaken. Clearly the prescribed penal
punishment can only apply to persons of
the male gender and women with an elec-
tioneering bent need not fear molestation
under that law, unless they commit some
overt act, which can be construed as breach
of the peace, or an actual obstruction of
voters. Those who framed the law did not
evidently, contemplate such possibility as
the presence of women at the polls as
disturbing element. But the personal pro-
noun she" shows the intent of the law too
clearly to be mistaken. II only the state
Inent of the offense is taken women must re-
frain from active politics, but as there would
then be no penalty the attempted appllca-
ton to the cases in point would be mani
fest absurdity. As it is, the law does not
inhibit women from taking just as active an
interest in the progress of the voting on
election day as the so-called lords of crea-
ton"

Arti.tic Phntnrrnnhx.

No crayon work can equal the life size
photographs made by Mr.. Davis Mahan,
artist photographer, 43 Fifth avenue. These
superb likenesses are made by the exclusive
process invented by Mr.. Mahsn, the result
of over 80 years experience. The pictures
have fine naturalness of expression and
softness, of finish that can be initiated by
none but perfect masters of crayon portrait
work. From the highest lights to the deep
est shades the flesh is perfection. So durable
are these photographs that they can be
safely washed with soap and water, if they
become soiled.
In making cabinet size photographs, Mr..
Mahan excels. So much is his skill ap-
preciated that he is constantly employed to
make elikenesses ofthe most difficult subjects,
always being certain of success. Mr..
Mahan's magnificent work has a more than
local reputation. He has been asked by q
New York artist to furnish him with proofs
of some photographs of beautiful children
to be sent to Boston for designs for Easter
and Christmas cards.
Call at 43 Fifth avenue to inspect this
beautiful work. The pleasure will amply
repay visitors.

ONLY SIXTEEN MEN STRUCK.
Abolition of an Old Rule Causes Trouble Mt
the Steel Casting Company.

Concerning the existing trouble at the works
of the Pittsburg Steel Casting Company the
Superintendent, Mr.. Stewart Johnston, was
seen at his East End residence last evening and
said: For several years the firm has been pay
ing for go hours of work per week in its mill,
and the men have really performed IS hours
and 40 minutes work, reckoning by the week.
With $50 workmen, the paying for an hour and
20 minutes work every week in the year
for each employe footed up to large
annual SUN. Last Monday we posted notice
informing the men that the practice would be
done away with and that payment would be
given only for actual work, as IS the case every
where else. Sixteen of the molders took the
position that they would not come in under the
changed method and they went out. The
balance of our operatives did not demur and
are at work. The mill is running full and We
do not expect to recede in the slightest from
our position, nor will we treat with any CON-
mittee that may be deputed by the disaffected
workmen."

A VERY SAD CASE.
A Man Is Killed by Train on His Way to
His Wife and Children.

The dead body of John Huffman was brought
into the Union Depot last night on the Allie
gheny Valley Railroad, the man having found
his death at Driftwood. The circumstances
connected with the fatality are of more than
usually sad character.
Huffman was a carpenter and he lived with
his family at York, Pa. Sometime ago he made
up his mind tn 60 to Canton, O., and he sent
his wife and two children on there, while he re-
manned behind to settle his affairs. Yesterday
he started with his son, a little boy and his dog
to join the rest of the family. They all got on
the train at York and went as far as Driftwood,
where the child asked lis father for some
water. When Huffman had secured the drink
and was returning TO the train a freight train
camc running into the depot and before the
man could get out Of the way the engine struck
him.
He was knocked down and mangled to death.
The corpse was shipped on to Pittsburg to be
forwarded to Canton, D.

Property Owners in Allegheny,

We have constant call for small houses
in Allegheny, and cannot supply the de-
have a small house, whether in good repair
or bad, call on US, and we can often find a
cash buyer in very short time. We make
no rash promises, but do say that we can
sell quickly any small property at fair
price. Come and see us anyhow, and leave
description of what you have. No sale. no
charge; and we will bear all expenses. This
applies to all classes of property, but what
we want, especially at present, is for the
man of small means who wants home.

DIR. MILLER's CASE SERIOUS.
He Is Not Able to Tell How He Got Hurt and
Will Probably Die Soon.

DR.. Chas. H. Miller, of Kansas, who was
picked up in a bad way some days ago on the
Allegheny Valley Railroad, and taken to the
West Penn Hospital, is still in q precarious
state, and the doctors do not express much
hope for his recovery. DR.. Heron stated last
night that the base of Miller's skull and frontal
bone had been fractured.
DIR. Miller has certificate from the State
Board of Health of Kansas emitting him to
practice medicine in that State, and he is a
graduate of the Pennsylvania State Medical
College, of the class Of 1875. He is a man
of culture, and much interest is
felt in him by the medical staff of the West
Penn Hospital. DR.. Miller has practiced in
Atchison, Kan. He has written for medical
journals and stands well in the profession, but
is of rowing nature and it seems has been
among the Oklahoma boomers. He wanted to
go East and it appears hadn't much money,
only $40, SO far as can be cleaned from his
rather incoherent account, and was working
his way as he best could, beating in it trains
and occasionally paying fare for short distances.
He can give no account of the manner in which
he received his injuries.
A brother of the injured man came from
Philadelphia to see him day before yesterday,
and from him intelligence of the doctors past
life was gotten. but he knows nothing of the
wanderings which resulted SO seriously.

CHARGED WITH EXTORTION,
Alderman Porter Held for Court on Two
Charges Yesterday.

Charges Yesterday.
Alderman Porter was given hearing yester-
day afternoon before Alderman Carlisle, on
charge of extortion, on oath of Benjamin F.
Stewart The prosecutor was sued before
Alderman Porter some time ago by Lawrence
Meyer. He alleges that the case was settled
by his paying the costs, which were SIG 20
Alderman Porter then charged him another
dollar for a transcript of the case. The tran
script showed costs for IL witnesses, which the
'Squire's constable swore had never been sum-
moned.
Attorney Sullivan represented Alderman
Porter. while Attordey Jordan appeared for
MI. Stewart. The Alderman was held in $500
bail for court.
As soon as this case was over, Alderman Por-
ter was placed under arrest again on similar
charge, on oath of James Young. The latter
had some trouble with his landlady few weeks
ago, and she sued him for a boarding bill. The
case was settled before the defendant was
given hearing, and Young claims that the
Squire charged him 81 80 more for costs than
he should have done
The Squire waived hearing in this case and
gave bail for court Alderman Porter says the
whole matter is a blackmailing scheme, the re-
suit of prejudice against him. He says he will
be able TO prove in court that there was no ex-
tortion in either case.
