THE Ell PASO FIGHT.

The press of this state, and the
union, have flooded the country with
ex-parte statements of the municipal
contest waging at FL Paso. AS a
specimen of these reports, the follow
ing extracts from a special to the
morning paper published here will
suffice:
THE republicans of this city are in an I'M
happy frame of mind They are not only boy
cOtting democratic newspapers OF this city for
denouncng their mob proceedings. nut they
also want the board of trade to convert Itself
into SSOlItical club and send off set of resO
lutions TO the Associates Press denOuncing
the newspaper correspondents who furnished
their papers accounts of republican lawless
ness in this city since the late election. The
democrats are going ahead with the investi
cations and acting strictly within the law and
in accordance with the decision OF the district
court
Now what are the facts, and who
have violated the law? Let the right
horse wear the saddle. A charter
election was held in that city for mum
icipal officers. That election was
necessarily regulated by the charter
provisions under which it was held.
The city charter of FL Paso provides
that the election returns are to be
made to the mayor within twenty
four hours after the votes are taken.
That on the first Saturday following
the common council are to meet and
canvass returns and declare the cleo

and the council met according to the
charter provisions. 1t was generally
understood that the republican ticket
was elected. In the council were eight
aldermen. Five of these were demo-
Gratis and three republicans. The five
democrats refused to discharge the
duty laid upon them under the Chart
er, and which they were sworn to
perform, they refused to open the re-
turns. This was revolution. After
several adjOurnments, the mayor, in
full council, informed the aldermen
that it was his duty to open the re-
turns and make the count, as re-
CURED by charter. The five demo-
Gratis got up and left the council
chamber. The mayor and the three
remaining aldermen canvassed the
returns aud the officers that were de-
clared elected upon these returns
were sworn in as required by law
If there was an irregularity in this
proceeding, it was rendered neces.
sary by the refusal of the five demo,

office. The next step was an injunc,

out authority, and consequently a
revolutionary injunction, restraining

his speech in the morning papers of
the metropolis. John Greenleaf
Whittier, that liberty loving son
of song, will read poem
commemorative of the day, and with
waving of flags and beating of drums,
the blare of trumpets and the roar of
guns, the republic will enter upon its
second century of national existence.
Having demonstrated its ability to
maintain its power and preserve its
autonomy alike against foreign enc
mics and intestine foes, the greatest
republic of the ages may well take to
herself courage and the hope of long
centuries of progress. For this CEN
fury of consolidated power and in
creased strength, for this century of
progress, prosperity and crystal za-
ton of national forces, a nation gives
thanks.

times, and, when found, was running down
the road with her dress on fire. She remem.
bers no more, and for months fingered be.
tween life and death. She is yet covered
with scars from the wounds received. She
was empIoyed as "bundler," putting the
cartridges into packages after they had been
fitted and the ends ''pinched" together by
othe rgirls.
Many of the girls worked from purely
patriotic motives, as they felt they di6 not
need the money. Among them were the
Misses Davidson, who, just before the ex-
plosion, were preparing to go East to board
ing school.
Mrs. Clare, of Washington street, lost a
daughter. Many other residents in the city
have cause to mourn and meet in union at
the Arsenal Monument on Decoration Day.
AS TO PENSIONS FOR SURVIVORS.
Several attempts have been made to secure
pensions for the survivors, but so far with
no avail. Ex-Mayor Weaver at one time
tried his utmost to get such bill passed
through Congress, but failed. Thomas
Bane, james Anslow and other legis-
lators have also made the attempt.
At one time bill passed the House of
Representatives, but was killed by Sena-
tor from Georgia. The last hope of those
interested is pinned to Congressman Dalzell.
Mrs. Quinn stated yesterday that he had
promised that after election he would use
his utmost endeavors in their interest, and
that he had written her a very kind letter
to that effect. She, with the others, is now
awaiting his action.
About 75 were killed altogether in the
explosion. Lieutenant Eddy and Major
Simeton were on duty at the arsenal at the
time, and the former was compelled to leave,
as he was blamed by some for negligence.

EMULATING CLEVELAND.


Ingalls, Tells Ben to Turn the Rascals Onr
Faster.
United States Senator Sabin, Of Mime
sofa, was q passenger on the limited last
evening, bound for home. Speaking Of
General Harrison, he said: "Senator Ingalls,
and visited the President the other day.
Mr.. Ingalls, remarked to the chief that he
thought he was not turning the rascals out
fast enough.
"'Well, you know replied the Presi-
dent, I don't want to be outdone in gener-
osity by Mr. Cleveland
"'Yes, answered Ingalls,, in his sharp
way, and you know where Grover Cleve-
land is now.'
''I suppose Harrison took the hint. It
was plain enough.
The people in the West favor moder-
ate reduction of the tariff, and 1 think a
light cut will be made this winter. went
to pumpkin show last summer, and 1 told
the farmers there that, whenever the East
ern industries are booming, there is good
demand for grain at reasonable prices.
When the mills are idle, it is much easier
to sell Pittsburg's second grade -four than
the best variety. understand the Du-
quesne rail mill here is making rails cheaper
than they can be brought here from En-
gland, and this argument will be used BY
free traders against the tariff"

NOW A PUBLIC PROBE.
Is TO Dig at Those Charges Made
Against President Campbell
FOR IMPORTING GLASS WORKERS.
Arrangement Between Glass Blowers
Union and Trades Council.
PITTsBURG AND WESTERNS BIG CUT

At the regular meeting of the Window
Glass Workers Union in Kaufeldt's Hall,
1906 Carson street, an agreement was made
last night between three representatives. Of
the Trades Council and the members of the
Window Glass Workers Union to have the
charges of importing foreign glassworkers
under contract publicly investigated.
Messrs. William Smith, President of the
Flint Glass Union; Dennis Hays, of the
glass molders, and Patrick Carr, of the bot
tie blowers, constituted the committee of the
Trades Council. A motion was passed by
the window glass men to declare an open
session and let the three gentlemen come in
to state their case. Mr.. Smith thereupon
stated
WHAT HAD BEEN DONE
by the investigation committee so far and
they asked the window glass blowers to help
them in an effort to clear up the charges or
else assist them to convict the guilty par
ties, if there were any.
Mr.. James Campbell replied for the men,
bers of his organization, stating that they
we're willing to adhere to the details of the
proposition made by them some time since.
He asked the matter to be investigated
publicly, and he also stipulated that those
witnesses who had already been examined
by the investigating committee should be
asked to testify again before the new board
of investigation. This was agreed to, and
it was then decided TO select Committee on
Arbitration, consisting of the following
named members: Two members from the
Council of the Window Glass Workers
Union, two members from the Trades Coun-
Gil, and the fifth member to be selected BY
these four. That being again agreed to, the
meeting was adjourned.
GOING RIGHT AT IT.
The Council of the Window Glass Work
ers will elect their two men tonight, and
the Trades Council will do the same. These
four, after having selected the fifth man,
will then be ready to call for the general
public investigation meeting, to which the
press will be invited.
The meeting was q very large one; but
everybody seemed to be we'll pleased with
the decision arrived at. While some of the
members of the Trades Council believe that
they have evidence of a very damaging
character against Mr.. Campbell, that gentle
man and all the members of his organiza-
tion feel confident that the result of the in
vestigation will be nothing else but grand
triumph for him.

r1rrsBURes POPULAR HOTEL.
A Departure of Great Advantage to rh,
Travelling Public.

travelling RuDlic.
Hotel Hamilton, on Penn avenue, ad-
joining the Bijou Theater, has undergone a
great change that will increase its popular
ity and give it valuable and enviable po-
sition as an ideal place Of comfort for tray
eiers visiting Pittsburg.
The new proprietors, Messrs. Brown &
Taylor, are we'll known and bring great
prestige to the Hamilton" Mr.. Thomas
Brown is an old hotel proprietor, latterly of
the st. Charles, and thoroughly alive to all
requirements of the hotel business. Mr.
Frank Taylor, his partner, has been on the
road II years, acquiring an immense ac-
quaintance among commercial travellers
and, of course, gained complete knowl-
edge Of what goes to make ffrst-class house.
The building has been entirely renovated,
handsomely papered, decorated and reftted
throughout in the most stylish and elaborate
manner. The Office is modern and elegant
in its appointments.
Perhaps the most important Improvements
that have been made are in the culinary de-
partment. The table is a feature Of the
hotel, and nothing better or of greater
variety will be served anywhere. The rates,
too, will popularize the hotel alone; 81 a
day, with special rates to travelling men, Is
a great inducement. The Hamilton is
licensed house this year and the bar is at
tracing good custom already. Ten-year-
old whisky-o of the Gibson, Finch and Guck-
enheimer brand are a specially, and a nice,
cool drink of Best's Milwaukee or Frauen-
helm & Vilsack's beer can always be had.

cORA0POLIS ON A RAMPAGE.
The Prayer Meetings Adjourned to Consider
Prohibition.

The Prayer Meetings Adjourned TO Consider
Prohibition.
If the Prohibitionists do not carry Cora
opolis for the amendment, it will certainly
not be for want of effort. On Wednesday
evening prayer meetings were adjourned in
order that the moral effect of the members
presence at prohibition meeting might be
felt. Some of the citizens are talking tenn
perance from early morn until dewy eve,
and then they gather to hear professionals
talk.
Meantime the members Of the brass band
have become so red in the face from almost
continuous blowing on their horns at these
meetings, that they present the appearance
of lot of jolly good fellows who have
repeatedly tarried late at the wine.
Heretofore there have been known two
yard-wide-and-all-wool Prohibitionists in
the borough, Squire Ferree and John Nc
Cabe, though several others talk that way
most OF the time, except on election day.
There is also another man who is sometimes
rated as Prohibitionist, whom Mrs. Nc
Cague, a daughter of the Squire, rates as
sort OF intermittent temperance man.
The vote of Coraopolis will be an inter-
esting study on the morning of the 10Th of
June.

THOSE TWO TROUBLES
In the AmalEamatiOp. Of which One il
Settled and One Ii Not.

In the AmalEamatiOp. Of which One il
Settled and One Ii Not.
The trouble in the first division of the
first district Of the Amalgamated Associa-
tion has been settled, and the action of the
firm of Oliver Bros. & Phillips has been
sustained. A strike has therefore been
avoided. As stated yesterday the firm dis
charged Zimmerman and he appealed his
case to the Executive Committee. This
body heard both sides and the decision is
that the man shall remain discharged.
This is vindication for the firm and the
decision seems to give general satisfaction
although the members have nothingto say on
the subject. The Executive Committee have
refused to legalize strike at the South Fif-
teenth street works of the company and
work will be continued as usual.
The trouble at the Wayne Iron Works
has not yet been settled. As already stated
the puddlers declined to work steel scrap
andthe company closed down the mill. A
settlement may be reached to-day.

Mr.. Slaughter Says the Ohio Border Towns
Are Booming.

Mr.. Slaughter, President of the Slaughter
Brewing Company, of Cleveland, came to
Pittsburg last night to see what the city
looked like since Judge White slaughtered
the saloon keepers. The Cleveland slaugh-
ter thinks the city has become as dead as a
door nail, and he was surprised to see such
a small number Of men on the streets.
He claims that East Liverpool, Wells
vile, Youngstown and other Ohio border
towns have been booming since the saloons
were closed in Pittsburg.
Frank Overlook, the Cincinnati brewer,
was on an Eastern train last night bound
for the Carlsbad Springs He SAYS Judge
White shut out his proposed agency for
Pittsburg, and his business was injured in
consequence. He thinks the prohibition
idea will soon die out The Ohio brewers
have not been asked to fight the amendment
in Pennsylvania, but if more money is
needed Mr.. Overlook said they would con-
tribute. He said the brewers are anxious to
know what the decisions on the Sunday
question will be in Cincinnati. If the sa-
looms are closed on that day the liquor men
will lose considerable money,

WAGES MUST BE ADVANCED

In Some Of the CIearfleld Mining Districts or
Lowered In Others,
The following telegram was received at
theo flee from Phillipsburg, Center county,
last night:
Action was taken this afternoon at largely
attended delegate meeting of the miners of
this district at this place which may result in
causing suspension of mining operations in
the Gallitzinn district and along the Bells Gap
Railroad at all banks working below the so
cents per ton mining scale. A resolution was
adopted pledging the support of the miners of
the Beech Creek region and the lower end of
the Clearheld region to all miners who are now
working below so cents ton who might be
thrown out of work in consequence of making
a demand for an increase of wages and for the
support of organizers to be sent into those
fields. Miners here realize that the scale in
the regions named must be advanced or wages
