Rail-A Third Run Down by Train.
Peter Gallagher, a brakeman in the employ
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was killed at
Fourteenth street yesterday. Gallagher was at
work coupling cars when he lost his balance
and fell. The train passed over him, severing
both legs from his body. An ambulance was at
once called, and the injured man was taken to
the West Penn Hospital. AT that institution
everything was done to alleviate the mans suf-
ferings. but all in vain. Gallagher died in the
greatest agony shortly after his admission to
the hospital.
Gallagher was married man, and leaves
widow and two children, who were dependent
upon him for support. He resides on Twenty
eighth street, and his loss will be greatly felt
among railroad men throughout the State.
A young man was struck by train on the
Pennsylvania Railroad at Torrens station at
las yesterday afternoon, and his skull was
crushed so that he died at the West Penn Hos
pital an hour later. The remains were taken
to the morgue and an inquest will be held by
the Coroner this morning. The only thing that

The Drummers of Pittsburg Tnke Hold md
Will Organize n Club.
The commercial travellers of this city some
time ago formulated plan through which a
travellers club was to be organized in this city.
The ''drummers'' worked hard and faithfully
to bring about this end, as they knew it was for
the general good of the order of the travellers.
They now find it most gratifying success.
Both the commercial travellers and the mer-
chants have taken hold OF the matter in real
earnest, and the Travelling Mems Commercial
Club of Pittsburg is now an assured fact
Rooms will be at once selected and furnished,
and the travelling men who visit this city. will
be accorded all the privileges which any club
throughout the country accords visiting breth-
rem.
The canvas for funds began but a few weeks
ago. and the sincere desire of a few, to do
something to benefit the 'knights of the grip"
if nothing more should be accomplished, than
to give them a place for headquarters. The
work developed rapidly and the need of more
definite plans being seen. the board sought
the combined aid of the business community
which aided in the Incorporation of the enter
prise. This places it on solid basis more
advantageous The corporations and firms
who have contributed the amounts necessary
to help the club are leaders in the commercial
interests of Pittsburg. Among the first of
them are the railroad companies, which did
not hesitate to contribute handsomely to the
fund. The members of the club are ready to
receive further subscriptions Mr.. H. W..
Dearborn, the Secretary, will receive all con-
tributions at the Seventh Avenue Hotel.

THE PLOT THICKENS.
Another Arrest for the Soufhside Bank
Crash-Everybody Keeps Mum-Other

Another Arrest for the Southside Bank
Crash-Everybody Keeps Mum-Other
Arrests Expected.
The drama of the collapse of the Farmers
and Mechanics Bank, on the Southside, turned
out new phase of interest Yesterday when
John 8. McMasters, the assistant cashier of the
bank under Mr.. Voight, was arrested.
There were four charges preferred against
him: First, embezzlement by an officer of the
bank; second, possessing himself of money and
property OF the bank otherwise than in pay
ment to himself of q just debt or demand, and
with intent to defraud-neglecting to make or
cause to be made a true entry thereof;
third, as an officer of the bank, for
falsifying books and papers of the bank, with
intent to defraud; fourth, under the general
act of 1851, he is charged with fraudulently. and
without authority from the directors, drawing
orders bills of exchange, drafts, ETC.. upon 9TH
er banks, and making false entries in the books
and reports of the bank, with intent to deceive
its officers and directors.
Alderman Schaefer, of the Southside, re-
ceived the information, and at once had John
S. McMasters arrested and put under $4,000
bail. Yesterday the accused succeeded in
securing bondsmen, and Messrs ]. R. Jackson.
w. A. McMasters and R. Mckenzie went his
security for $4,000 the attorneys of the prose-
cution reducing the required bail to one-half
the original amount
Mr.. McMasters was reported to have escaped
from town last night; but when DISPATCH
reporter called at his residence he found him
walking in his garden with his wife and chill
dren. In answer to some questions he replied;
mo; have nothing to say. The other people
are doing all the talking. l will wait until my
time comes. know that have nothing to
fear"
There was hearing set for next Tuesday
before Alderman Schaefer; but it has already
been waived. and the case will come up in the
September term of court.
Mr.. ]. 81. Long, the late President of the
bank, refused to say anything on the subject,
and when he was asked whether any more ar
rests would be made, he ominously but eau
tiously shook his head.
whether we will have any more people ar
rested or not, remains. to be seen. / do not
know; you can make your own Inference"
That was all he meant to say and all he did
say: but the inference can be made all the
same.
Alderman schaefer was just as non-commit-
tai.
Business is business" he said, and whether
other arrests will be made, am not going to
say. These people seem to have pretty good
evidence, and they are pushing the thing for
all there is in 1t. They claim to know that
Voight and McMasters did some heavy grain
speculaJlng and on that they base their allega-
tions The future will tell; that is all know
about the matter"

The Committee on Organization appointed
by the Allegheny County Prohibition Commit
tee at their meeting Thursday night met in the
Office of Lawyer B. c. Christy yesterday after
noon. The members of the committee were
Messrs. A. z. Rankin, Rev. DR.. John L. Fulton
and B. c. Christy. The meeting was called for
4:3O o'clock, but owing to the tardiness OF Dr.
Fulton, they did not meet until nearly
o'clock
The meeting was held with closed DOORS and
after nearly a half hours session, it was de-
cided that the transactions of the meeting
should not be made public. This was due to
the fact that some men were appointed on the
various committees who, it was thought, might
not serve, and to save any annoyance, the
names were not given.
The idea of the Prohibition party in this
county now is to start daily newspaper. A
leading member of the party said to the writer
yesterday: THE paper shall be thoroughly a
newspaper. 1t will not be known as a Prohibit
tion journal. 1t will give the news just the
same as the other dailies, and shall be thor
oughly independent in politics.
"Of course, when occasion requires, it shall
devote its columns to the cause of prohibition.
1t shall have corps of reporters who will not
be afraid to strike out from the shoulder and a
warfare shall at once be started against the
speak-easies. The paper will be started and
sustained, and we have the money to do it."

When Mr.. Cabot first visited the city,

A strike at the Homestead Works Of Carne

sides are determined not to yield point, and a

The men are confident of success in the end as
it will be difficult matter to fill the places of
SO many skilled workmen, but the members of
the firm are not worrying at all.
They seem to think that there are other men
in the country who can make steel, but are
willing to give the men now employed the pre-.
ference. They have prepared a scale, which
allows the men as much. if not more wages
than are paid in any other mill of the kind in
the country.

Last evenings session wound up the work of
the Evangelical Lutheran Synod, whose two
day sessions are reported on another page.
Se session was mainly devoted to hearing the
reports Of various committees appointed dur
ing the session. The reports were but of tri-
fling importance. There was little tilt when
the report on the fund for indi-
gent and antiquated ministers was
read. The committee recommended that
the old board be dismissed and a new one
with larger scope be constituted; also that the
committee be given Sc 600 with which to pursue
its work. This met with considerable opposi-
tion, which called DR.. Albert, of Philadelphia,
to his feet, and he stated that some filings had
been made at the committee through the col
umns of the Lutheran Observer. This, as
rule, was done by men who had never con-
tributed l cent to the fund. He wanted it
understood that no minister Endorsed by the
President of the Synod had ever been refused
