day number of new scales for the ensuing
year were received signed by different manu-
facturers. Secretary Martin officially an
nounced the following: Keystone Rolling Mill
Company, of Pittsburg. Their works are on

In the afternoon Jones & Laughlins sent for
the mill committee and were in consultation
with them all afternoon. The various commit
tees employed in Oliver Bros. d Phillips mills
were also holding conference with the firm
President " eIhe was at the meeting in Jones
d Laughlins' office, but until 6 O'clock had
not received the firms signature to a scale.
The conference at divers was very animated,
and the meeting was the second one the CON-
mittee has already held with the members of
the firm. The first was held Saturday, and the
concessions asked then were again requested
yesterday. The men were asked to accept a re-
duction of so cents per ton on billets, but they
tion the price for rofing ten-inch plates was re-
duced from so to 72 cents. The firm wanted a
still further reduction, and also wanted to re-
duce the price of making small angles. The
men would concede nothing. and the firm will
probably sign the scale by the last of the week.
In that event they will start their immense
plants on Monday next. In the Tenth street

SOME POLITICAL GOSSIP.

A Democratic Nominee Against Judge Col.
lfer on Full Ticket.
"Win we Democrats put up. a candidate
against Judge Collier2"
I'VE will.''
"Why?" asked THE DISPATCH luerist.
"For this reason: Suppose on the day after
the next November election we get up in the
morning and have found that we have beaten
Arch Rowand for District Attorney and Heber
Mcdowell for Coroner, and yet that Collier
had a walk-over, because of our delinquency in
failing to nominate. Do you think for mo-
ment that we would not club ourselves? We
feel it hot in our bones that we are going to
win this time"
"Who are you going to pit against Judge
Collier?"
Let that go until the time comes. 1 think
we can find a candidate who can secure the
full vote of the Democratic party and the dis
satisfied vote of the Prohihitionists, and also
those who, formerly Republicans, and who de-
sire to benefit their cause, wish to effectuate
the defeat of those who while pretending to be
Republican Prohibitionists, voted against the
prohibition amendment. You can safely be.
lieve that the Democrats will fill their ticket.
The County Democracy will settle that matter
on the day after the Fourth"
who will the nominee be?'
'1t may be Bailey, Watson, or anyone of a
score of others, but we shall, you can depend
upon the matter, go into the convention with
an entire ticket Of candidates"

The Life of n spenk.Easy Proprietor is
Not a Peculiarly Happy One.
Proprietors of "speak-easies'' who fear they
may get their names registered in Agent Nc
Calls books, if they pay the United States
special tax, are between the devil and deep
water. They reason this way: If Mccall and
the United States deputies have missed them
they may make port safely. If caught by
either the other is liable to put in an appear
ance also. and they will get box on each ear.
While no steps toward prosecution have
been taken by the Internal Revenue Collector,
people who are supposed to be selling liquor
have been invited into the captains office and
nearly a score have done So and settled their
bill there, among them some proprietors of dis
reputable houses The officials do not trouble
themselves with infractions of the State law
Their books are open for inspection, but they
do not aid in prosecuting violators. As the PEN
atty for selling without United States license
is 500 to 5000 fine and 80 days to years i'm
prsonment it doesn't pay to fool with Uncle
Sam unless your Illicit business is very profit
able and you don't mind being locked up.
Taking 1t long and broad most 'speak-easy''
proprietors will reason that they may as well
be hung for a sheep as a lamb, for the procur-
ing of a license from the United States would
not save them in State prosecution, and the
getting of it would only tend to expose a flank
to the local enemy.

country for nearly 40 years and for over 30
years he has been prominently identified with
the restaurant business of this city. he was
prominently connected with all the best known
German societies, and among his compatriots
he was looked upon as one of their representa-,
tive men in Western Pennsylvania But in his
business he also came in contact with the best
business and commercial men OF Plttsburg,
Germans as well as hosts of others. and all who
knew him held him in very high regard.
Mr.. Bihlman was born in Kroetzingen.
Baden Germany, where his father was shoe
maker. When the boy had grown up his father
made him an apprentice in his trade, and after
he had become proficient he left his tathers
home to travel, in the same manner as most
young German tradesmen do. In other words.
he went "Auf die Walz." During this tour OF
travelling. which was all done on foot, he went
to Paris, and there he obtained employment in
restaurant, where he learned the catering
business
In 1S4S at the outbreak of the Revolution. he
returned to Baden, where he entered Volun-
teer corps to fight against the Prusslans Inc
corps was a part of the Baden Revoiutonary
Army, and young Bihlman distinguished him
self to such an extent that he was made cap
tain of company. %
But his youthful daring in the front against
the enemy brought him always into DANGER
and he was at last taken prisoner and trans
ported to the Prussian fortress at hastatt.
However, man like Bihlman was not afraid,
even De01HQ prison Walls, anu uIo CouIaScOuS
spirit could not be daunted He at last es-
capped from the place in very miraculous
manner. and fed. He luckily got out of the
country, and, succeeding in gaining seaport,
Immediately embarked for America.
He came at once to Pittsburg and, after
awhile obtained a position as engineer on the
Pittsburg Cincinnati and 81 Louis Raiiroad.
But railroading did not suit him long, and he
returned to the city to open restaurant. His
first venture was on Penn avenue, near
Twelfth street. From here he went to open
the "Volkshalle" on Eleventh. an old hostelry,
Tfhich used to be known as Freeman's Hall.
After that he moved to the Atlantic Garden on
Diamond street.
He had not been in Pittsburg very long when
he was married to young lady who came from
his native town in Baden. Mr.. Bihlman leaves
several grown-up children. Two of his sons
have for some time been at the helm of his fine
business on Diamond street.
He was one of the oldest members of the
Frohsinn Singing Society," member of the
Central Turnverein and also of Jefferson
Lodge, F. and A. NJ.

Chat With MIR. Sweitzer.
Some surprise was manifested in legal circles
last night at the ruling Of Judge Stowe in the
matter OF the reversed decisions of Judge
White. Judge Stowe directed the bottlers to
represent their cases on Wednesday upon the
same basis as the wholesalers In appealed cases,
whereas there had been q supposirion that,
under the ruling of the State Supreme Court,
all that the bottlers had to do was to present
themselves and their money and receive their
licenses. But the bottlers who were refused
license are unmistakably upon the same legal
plane as the wholesalers, both branches OF the
trade coming under the terms Of the lengthy
decision filed in the Pollard case. The opinion
written by Judge Paxson devotes only few
lines to the Harris ct al bottlers' cases. saying
simply that the cases on appeal are reversed
upon the general grounds in the elaborate
opinion handed down in the Pollard case.
j. bowman Sweitzer. of the Supreme Court
Prothonotary's office, stated last night that
there is no mittimus mandamus having
bearing on the case outside of the formal
opinion Of the Court, which arrived yesterday
morning, and was made the basis OF Juoge
Stoves ruling.
1t seems. therefore, that there is no royal
road to fortune for the bottlers, who must take
the regular course of procedure in the matter
of rehearings before the Court of Quarter Ses-
sious
