BISHOP TUIGG DYING.

He VIII Likely b Succeeded by Father
Wall, of This City-Bishop Phelan and
Two Di0ceses, One In Asia.
Bishop Tuigg, of this diocese, is dying at
his home in Altoona. The Bishop has been
ill for many years; but his sickness is so
serious at present that it was decided to
summon Bishop Phelan, coadjutor, to his
bedside. The last rites of the church were given
to the dying bishop yesterday, as his chance for
recovery seems less hopeful than at any time
during his long Illness
1t was reported yesterday that, in the event
of Bishop Tuigg's death, the Pittsburg and
Allegheny dioceses would be reunited, and
that Bishop Phelan would be placed In charge.
Several of the leading members of the Ro-
man Catholic Church in this section were seen
yesterday and said: THE dioceses will not be
reunited. What Rome has done Rome cannot
undo, the Holy Father being infallible. This
diocese was divided, and will remain divided.
Bishop Phelan is Bishop of diocese in Asia
Minor and is Bishop Coadjutor here. If Bishop
Tuigg dies, we believe that Father Wall will be
made Bishop of the Pittsburg diocese and
Bishop Phelan of the Allegheny diocese"
The latest reports received of the condition
of Bishop Tuigg were that he is in an uncon-
scious condition, and cannot live more than
daY or two

TO UNITE THE SYNODS
Reformed Presbyterians May Spread
the Olive Branch Of Peace.
CoYENANTERS WANT TO MAKE UP.
The Amendment May be the Means of
Amalgamsting Both Churches.
TIE DOINGS OF THE GENERAL SYNOD.

There is strong probability that the two
factions OF the Reformed Presbyterian
Church, known as the "Synod'' and the
General Synod" will be reunited, after
separation of 56 years. A committee of
three members of each Synod, has had
several conferences. A number of schemes
have been suggested to bury the hatchet
and restore peace and harmony within the
fold.
There is a strong undercurrent of senti-
ment developing among the younger men,
bers OF the General Synod, or 'fthe old
Covenanters," as they are called in the
East. One of the latter, Rev. John Ora
ham, who is now in attendance at the Gen
eral Synod at Tarentum, was formerly
member of the seceders. He came from
Rochester, N. Y, and,
UPON SWINGING OVER
to the "GeneraIs" he became nastor of the
First Church in Philadelphia. A number of
his former brethren want TO follow his ex-
ample and amalgamate with the other faction
In 1888 the Reformed Presbyterian Church
split at meeting held IN the old Eleventh
street Cnurch, upon the site of which now
stands minstrel theater. The seceders, or
CoVenanters, would not allow their men to
vote upon any questions relating to the State
or National Government The General Synod
took the opposite view, and said it was duty
they owed to their State and Church to take
part in all elections Some of the Covenanters
now want to vote upon the prohibitory amend
ment, claiming that it Is q righteous cause.
For THIS reason some of them would like to
come back to the fold again. Their reason
Tor not voting is that God is not In the Consti-
tuition of the United States.
AT the meeting in Tarentum the committee
on reuniting the other branch reported prog
ress, and asked to be continued
yesterdays PROCEEDINGS.
Rev. h. II. Brownell, of vinton. Iowa. was
unanimously elected Moderator. Rev. ]. Y.

Clerk. and ]. Il. Kendall, pastor of the Taren-
tum church, assistant Rev. DR.. Miller, of

pastors of evangelical churches at Tarentum,
we're invited to seats as consultation members.
Owing to financial difficulties the trustees were
unable to settle in regard to the legacy left the
church by Mrs Elizabeth Wylie.
In the afternoon Rev. David Steel, D. D.,
conducted the devotional exercises. The
standing committees were then announced.
The matter of title to church property in
Xenia, O., was referred to the Board of Church
extension, with power to prosecute the claim
OF the church to the property.
Monday evening was fixed as the date to dis
cuss the prohfbitory amendment. The people
OF all the other churches in the city will be in
v1ted to be present. The General Synod" will
insist upon every member of the church voting
upon this question.

A GOOD DAYS WORK.

The Pattern Makers Favor the Eight.
Hour system-Pfece Work AbOIished-A
Fine Banquet at the Seventh Avenue.
The Pittsburg Association of Pattern
Makers gave the visiting delegates pleas
ant banquet at the Seventh Avenue Hotel
last night. After the menu had been dis
pensed with the intellectual part Of the feast
was served
President Mcdonnell acted as toast master,
and Clarence Burleigh, Esq, was the irstspeaker
introduced. His subject was "Our Country,
and the Duties We Owe to 1t as Citizens"
Prof Brashear was to have addressed the pat
tern makers on "Our Relation to the Stars"
but at the last moment sent his regrets. DR.. D.
B. Sturgeon took his place. "Our National
Organization and Its Future" I" was the subject
of H. H. Bengough. John NJ. Kelly discussed
the problem of 1.-The Press in Its Relation to
the Labor Problem"
The banquet was a very enjoyable affair and
the feature of the convention. The delegates
found it much easier to be the willing disciples
of Epicurus than to work in committee with
their hard-working General Secretary urging
them on.
At the meeting during the day they agreedto
abolish piece work, and the decision will be
embodied in the constitution as soon as the
local associations approve of it. A strong reso-
luton was passed bearing on the S-hour system.
The resolution declared that every organiza-
tion should strive for shorter hours of work.
The convention will close to-day.

ANOTHER STRIKE ON.
The Clark Bros. Failed to Keep Their
Promises With the Men.

The Clark Bros. Failed to Keep Their
Promises With the Men.
The strike of the men at the Solar Iron
Works was no surprise. 1t has been ex-
pected for some time, and the position of the
firm is said not to be enviable. The strikers
intend to join the Amalgamated Association
again.
One of the men sized up the situation as fol-
lows yesterday: There has been considerable
dissatisfaction among the workmen since the
last strike. Mr.. Clark to induce men to go to
work, made them many promises, which he has
not kept
"Some of these promises pertain to positions,
but the main difficulty is a question of wages.
This is the essence of the trouble, and the
strike will leave the firm in bad shape"
The condition of affairs in the strike has not
changed since yesterday morning The only
part of the mill in operation is the pudding
department, where about IS colored men are
employed. The strikers said last night that the
puddlers would join the strike and the Anal
gamated Association to-day. This will throw
the whole mill idle.
A large meeting was held last night in Freck-
er's Hall, corner Butler and Thirty-eight
streets. by the strikers. President Weihe was
present. Fifty-fve members were reinstated
in Victoria Lodge No. IS, Amalgamated Asso-
citation. They were in part men who broke the
last strike at these mills.

Ticket sellers ver.u. Plano seIIer,,

1t will be noticed that while some music
firms are picked upon to do the ticket sell
ing for concerts, others are chosen to furnish
the artistic, the musical material for the
same, viz: the pianos. No matter who sells
tickets, for when it comes to the musical
part they all must apply at Kleber & Bro. 8
to get suitable and satisfactory piano for
the occasion. Look at our own May Festi-
val, Gilmore's concerts, Rosenthal's con-
certs and all others of any importance; it is
Steinway and nothing but Steinway. All
the best pianos are concentrated in the
hands of Kleber & Bro, it appears.
Here we find the great Steinway, the won
derful Conover, the charming Opera and
Emerson makes. Also the lovely Burdett
organs and the phenomenal Vocation church
organs-the grandest church instrument
ever invented. The Kleber Bros. are the
oldest and most trusted music house in the
city, and they do the lions share of the
music business. Their salesr0oms are at

So Says a Coroner's Jnry Regarding That
Fatal Mine Explosion.

So Says a Coroner's Jnry Regarding That
Fatal Mine Explosion.
Yesterday Coroner Mcdowell finished the
inquest on the bodies of the miners killed
by the gas explosion at the Federal mines,
last Friday. Mine Inspector Blick testified
to the condition of the mine. He said the
gas generated rapidly there, and the mine was
noted for this There was no danger sign ex-
cept at No. 6 entry, and this was beyond where
the men met their death.
Hugh Mcclure, of Bridgeville. thought one
of the men could have been saved He was
lying on his face, and was not badly wounded,
and, in witness opinion, if the fan had been
started as soon as the accident occurred he
could have been rescued.
Other witnesses were examined, aud the Jury
brought in verdict of death from an ex-
plosion, and gave the following reasons for the
accident:
- First That deceased went into said mines in
direct violation of the law: second, that Z. w
Powers, Superintendent of said mines, was negli-
gent in directing shutting off the ventilation
from said mines and allowing gas to accumulate
knowing said mine 10 be generating gas; third.
that Games Holloway, mining boss, was negligent
in not closing up mouth Of said mine when 1t was
shut down. or displaying danger signals at the
proper places, and that Thomas Evans was negli-
gent in taking upon himself the responsibility
and duties of mining boss and not making the
until the return of said James Holloway, mining
boss.

The May Music Festival.

1t is a significant fact that at the ap-
preaching great May Festival they use only
the famous Steinway planes. ALI the other
piano makers were crazy to get their make
of instrument into the Music Festival, but
the high artistic character of the performers
and the elevated style of their music Con-
vinced the managers that none but the Stein
way Grand could possibly fill the bill. At
the late Gilmore concert the Steinway
Grahd, also, was the only instrument which
Mr.. Gilmore thought fit to be used in grand
concerts. This fact must be highly crafty
ing to the thousands of possessors of the
Steinway and also to the Messrs. H. Kleber
& Bro, who have the honor to represent
them in our section of country.
