EVERETT PIANO CLUB,

Or Co.Operative System of Selling Pianos,
Is the most successful and satisfactory plan
ever tried. We are delivering pianos as fast
as our wagons can haul them, Our men,
bers get the lowest possible price, because
there are enough members to contract for
800 pianos, and thus save S75 in the price of
each piano; $50 members, each paying 81
per week, will pay for one piano in cash
each week, and we deliver one piano per
week on these payments. Members who
pay all cash, or who pay S25 cash and $40
monthly, can take their pianos at once, and
still get the discount obtained by the club
contract. The piano selected by the club
has no superior. Having the whole market
to choose from on so large contract, we
chose the Everett, because it gives full
value, dollar for dollar. We pay nothing
for regulations of men who died years ago.
The Everett is piano of to-day, with all
the latest Improvements. The tone is rich,
powerful and musical. and they are made to
wear. Each piano is warranted for seven
years. Now don't wait too long. Our club
is not yet full, but we are delivering pianos
and it is filing up rapidly. Send for circu-
lar or call and see the pianos at once.

GAINING GROUND.
Three Firms Have Signed the NIolders' Scale

Three Firms Have Signed the Molders' Scale
More TO Follow.
The molders are still on the outside up to
last night, but three firms had signed the
card requesting the increase OF 10 per cent,
namely, Carnegie, Phipps & Co., A. Speer
& Sons and Evans Bros. In the two former
the men were at work yesterday and in the
latter they turn in to-day.
Among the shops which are not concerned
in the movement, for the reason that they
employ non-union men and have not been
notified of the demand, are the Westing-
house Machine Company. the Westinghouse
Air Brake Company, Robinson Rea, the
Pittsburg Locomotive Company and one or
two others. In these shops the men are at
work as usual.
At Macintosh, Hemphill & Co.'s shop
yesterday morning the firm ordered some six
or eight laborors Poles, to take the place of
the molders, but they refused, demanded
their pay and left. Several firms have init.
mated their willingness to grant the increase.
but have failed to sign. When they sign
the men are prepared to return. Until then
they will watch developments. 1t is be-
lieved that DAY or two will see the men at
work again.

SEWER CONTRACTS LET.

Bids Cannot be Opened After Being Filed
ANumber of Improvemeuts-New Streets
to be Opened.
The Department OF Awards met in Cam
mon Council chamber yesterday afternoon
with full attendance of members.
Before the work of opening bids was
commenced, Controller Morrow appeared
before the board and asked for a ruling on a
case which came before him yesterday. A
contractor sent in bid on a sewer contract
several days ago, but yesterday morning
had called and asked the Controllers per-
mission to open the bid, as he had made a
mistake. The point on which the Controller
desired ruling was whether the contractor
has right to withdraw his bid after send
ing it in before it reaches the Department of
Awards.
Mr. Bigelow moved that rule be made
that once bid is delivered to the Controller
it shall not be allowed to be withdrawn be-
fore it reaches the Board of Awards. The
roll was called and the rule was adopted
unanimously.
The board then took up the following
sewer contracts and awarded them to the
lowest bidders: 20-inch sewer on Murtland
street, from Penn avenue to Kelly street, to
W. J. Dunn, at IS 95 per lineal foot; Is
inch sewer on Bayard street, from Bidwell
to Neville streets, to OFT Bros, at 81 81 per
foot; 9, Is and 20-inch sewer on Center
avenue, from Craig to Barton streets, to R.
S. Waters, at 81 per foot for 9-inch, So Is
for 15-inch and So % for 20-inch; sewer on
Mignonnette street, from Negley avenue to
Beatty street, to George Collins, at 81 %
for 15-inch and 81 80 for 16-inch; 15-inch
sewer on Howard street, to B. McPollin, at
81 Is per foot; 15-inch sewer on Howard
alley, to OFT Bros, at So 45 per foot; 15-inch
sewer on Spring alley to Alex Robb at 81 90;
15-inch sewer on Mulberry alley to E. f.
Hughes at 81 so; 15-inch sewer on Fourth
avenue, from Grant street to Cherry alley,
to NJ. Golden at 81 IS per foot.
This closed the work. and the board ad-
journed. Parties acquainted with the latter
contract say Golden will lose heavily on the
Fourth avenue sewer, as it will cost him at
least S. 80 per foot to put it down. There
were three bidders against him: Lawrence
Sloan bid So so per foot on the job; OFT
Bros, So so, and P. O'Donnell, So %. Mr.
Golden's bid was accepted, and, his bond
being filed with the proposal, he will have
to do the work.
The Board of Viewers yesterday held
meeting on the opening of kirkpatrick
street, from Wylie to Webster, and Moore
street, from Bedford to Ridge, to receive
claims for damages.

STILL AT LOGGERREADs.
A Committee of Employees Confer With
Carnegie, PhIpps & Co.

Committee of Employees Confer With
Carnegie, PhIpps & Co.
A committee representing the employees Of
Carnegie, Phipps & Co. were in conference
with the firm at the Fifth avenue Office
yesterday morning, relative to the proposed
change in the pay days.
The proposal of the firm is to adopt the
practice generally in vogue among the iron
firms in this vicinity, viz: That of paying
off twice in each month. At present the
men are paid every second Saturday, and
under the change payments would be made
as usual, excepting that, four times during
the year, the time between pays would be
extended to three weeks. This is what
caused the dissatisfaction. Where 1900 or
14OO men are concerned, there may be con-
siderable number who have arranged for a
series of payments, for various purposes, at
intervals of time based upon the existing
plan, and in view of change it may be
possible that quite a number would be
seriously embarrassed through the deferred
paw. Mr.. Abbott would not say what would
be done in the matter.
The employees OF Carnegie, Phipps q Co.,
at the Union Mills in LawrenceviJle, are at
a standstill in regard to the present molders'
strike. The company has accepted the ad-
vance of 10 per cent, but stands on the
proposition to decrease the number of pay
days from 26 to "a days a year. Inquiry
among the men last night developed the
fact that most OF them are in favor of the "a
days payday. 1t is extremely unlikely that
the employees of Carnegie, Phipps & Co. will
strike against the "a days payday. Most of
those seen last evening were in favor of the
change. Everyone of them admitted that
they would not have made the change had
they been running affairs, but not doing
such thing, they were very ready to ac-
quiesce, and saw abundant reasons for the
change

Both Star md Support Behind the Bars In
the Thirtiefh Ward Station.
A bear, who deserted his native woods
some years ago, surrendering his freedom
and unalloyed and untrammeled happiness,
sacrificing all in pursuit of the mirage
called Fame, as histrionic artist, occupied
q cell in the Thirtieth ward station. last
night. His bearship accepted the situation
philosophicaly, but refused to be inter-
viewed. He had been arrested in the West
End for giving performance without
having secured license from Mayor Nc
Calm or Chief Brown, and was left to re-
fleet on his mistake in leaving his habitat,
where be might have given as many per-
formances as be chose untrammeled by the
conventionalities of municipal manage
ment under bureau rule.
Mr.. Bruin showed himself to be true
Democrat, q real Socialist, allowing.his at
tendants to share his cell without showing
any of the littleness that characterizes some
stars when put to room with the supes and
members of stock company. AT 1920
o'clock, all were reposing peacefully and
not a wave of trouble rolled over their
couch as they slept the sleep of the laboring
man which, King said, is sweet, whether
he ate little or much.
The men who danced attendance upon
Bruin were John Ecoff. John Loucks, John
Joess and Joseph Ecker. They will receive
a hearing this morning. The bear made
pleasant bedfellow for the party last night.

He Says No Charges Were Made Against

In regard to the statement published yes
terday that there were charges of grave
nature preferred against Warden Berlin,
of the county Jail, by Mrs. Elizabeth Rail-
ing, an ex-matrou, Warden Berlin said:
"The report that charges have been pre-
ferred against me before a committee of the
Prison Board, is utterly unfounded. 1 dis
charged Mrs. Railing for inattention to
duty, and reported my action to the proper
authorities.
Mrs. Railing labored under the impress
sion that my authority did not extend SO far
as to discharge employees of the prison, and
she appealed to Judge White and others for
a reversal of my action. The committee
met this morning to investigate my COM
plants against her and her conduct while
matron of the Jail, She did not appear, and
the investigation was postponed until she
could be notified personally.
"1here was no talk at any time of in
vestigating any charges against me. State
ments represented to have been made by me
on the subject were very much distorted,
and were Misrepresentation in nearly every
particular. L have no desire 10 make public
the charges which the Prison Board COM
mittee will have to investigate beyond the
general heading of inattention to duty and
absence from her post without permission"

He Allows Indignities to be Offered His
Mother Without Protesting.
A woman giving her name as Mrs.
Cochran called at the Central station house
last night and told story to the effect that
she had son living at No. 2 First street
with a woman he called his wife, but to
whom he had never been married. She
formerly lived in Aurora, ILL.,, but her son
wrote, asking her to come to Pittsburg and
keep house for him, that he intended to
abandon the woman but Mrs. Cochran has
been here several weeks after leaving a good
home in Aurora and the other woman still
remains.
Last evening, Mrs. Cochran claims, the
woman went into the house drunk and made
her leave. The son sat in the room and
watched his mother being put out without
offering a protest. Mrs Cochran wanted
Inspector McAleese to lock them both up,
but he advised her to make an information
against them. Mrs. Cochran will stop with
friends she has become acquainted with until
the matter is settled.

that duplicate meant to double, so they in

Some Stray Grains of Truth.
The Standard hasn't bought the Arbuckle
well, and there is no specially good reason
why it should, unless it wants to shut in the
territory. 1t cannot, of course, buy it
cheaply, as the owners are able to operate it
themselves, and there is 10 especial reason
why they should rush things. Mr.. Jamison,
who has been attending more closely to the
we'll ttbaH any other one in interest, reports
it, is doing about as it started out. and he
has been informed by drillers that it would
likely be largely increased if drilled deeper.
