STABBED In THE NECK.

Where the Brewery Keg Trade Got In Its
Work Saturday Night.
Two informations were yesterday lodged
before Magistrate McKenna as a result of
the cutting afrsy which happened on Sat
urday night. The principals are Frank
Mackwaik, T. Mackwaik and T. Stawicky.
The account of the affair is very much
mixed up one, as none of the principals
can talk English.
1t seems that the principals live in the
same court in Mulberry alley, near
Twenty-Seventh street, and on Saturday
night there was a dance and
keg Of beer in the court. During the
evening, I. Mackwaik and F. Stawicky
quarreled. While Frank Mackwaik, who
is the father of the other by the same name,
was walking in the yard he was attacked
and stabbed in the back of the neck. A
wound an inch and half deep was inflicted.
The blade had fortunately glanced off on
something inside the neck band, otherwise
the wound would have caused death.
Stawicky had an ugly cash on the hand.
which he claimed was inflicted by the young
man, T. Mackwaik.

BETTER THAN A TARIFF.
So Says Mr.. James Chambers of His New
Tank System of Glass Making-It viii
Shut Out Cheap Importations.

So Says Mr.. James Chambers of His New
Tank System of Glass Making-Ir Will
Shut Out Cheap Importations.
Mr.. James Chambers, of the firm of
Chambers s. Mckee, owners of the large
tank furnaces for the manufacture of win
dow glass, at Jeanette, left last evening for
Philadelphia, where Mr.. Mckee, his part
ner, nov is. At the Union station Mr.
Chambers spoke of the success of the tanks,
and the effect they would have upon the
glass business. According to Mr.. Chambers
statement, foreign window glass will stand
a very poor show in this country
in the future. The factory at
Jeannette will not kill the business of the
other manufacturers here, but it will, he
says, have the effect of shutting out the
European product by competition. Mr..
Chambers says it will do it more efectually
than high tariff would. He added:
There is great amount of grumbling being
done about the success of the tanks at Jean
nette. The other manufacturers here will
have to introduce the same system if they want
to keep up with the procession. or they will
6aTe 61e pt to tpey ut % the have business
place their old clay-pot furnaces, as that
way of making glass is too expensive now.
The reason there has been so much window
glass imported into this country was because it
was so cheap. By the use OF the tank furnaces
in England and Belgium. the manufacturers
there were enabled to make it much cheaper
than we could and consequently undersold us.
1t was not the fault of the tariff that the
hundreds of thousands of boxes of glass came
TO this country each year; but it was on ac
count of the tank system, by the use of which
the cost of production was made less than
with the old clay-pot method. By using the
tanks at Jeannette we expect to shut this glass
out of the market

ITALIAN MISSION CLOSED.
Nearly 1000 Confessions ut 81. Paups
Cathedral Last Week.

Nearly 1000 Confessions at ST. PauPs
Cathedral Last Week.
The italian mission at st. Paul's Cathe-
dral closed last evening. During the week
there were nearly 1000 confessions heard.
The exercises were nearly the same as those
of the mission of the English speaking
Catholics, just two weeks before.
The services last evening were conducted
by Father Morielli, who delivered touch
ing farewell sermon. A pleasant feature
of the Italian mission was the con-
gregational singing of those present.
A rich volume of melody floating through
the old cathedral attracted many visitors to
the church. The congregational singing
will be a regular exercise at tie Italian
church in the basement of the cathedral.
The church will be opened next Sunday by
Father Vincentius. The idea of congrega-
tional singing among the English speaking
members of the parish is growing in favor.
A great number of the Italians who at
tended the mission had not been inside
church since they left their native country.
They would not go to the cathedral on ac-
count of not wishing to be brought into con-
tact with the Americans of the parish.

A JUDICIAL JURY.

Carriers Censors Want TO Know the Sen.
tence Before Rendering n VerdIct-A
Remarkable Sunday Episode.
A special session of Criminal Court was
held yesterday morning to give the jury in
the Carter-Gross murder trial opportunity
to bring in verdict. 1t was shortly after
10 o'clock that Judge Magee took his place
on the bench, and the Court was opened by
Crier Patterson in regular form. No one
was present outside of the Court officials ex-
cept the attorneys interested in the case.
1t was known that the jury had not
agreed, but were coming into Court to ask
for instructions. The jurors filed into Court
and the foreman made known their wants.
He prefaced his statement with the asser-
tion that his question was not to be taken
as an indication of what the verdict would
be, and then asked what the penalties were
for murder in the second degree. The ju-
rors, he said, wanted this information.
Judge Magee replied that the jurors had
nothing to do with the penalty. 1t was
their province to determine the degree of
guilt, if any existed; but they had nothing
to do with the penalty that might be i'm
posed under the verdict.
The jury then retired and Judge Magee
adjourned the court until this morning at 10
o'clock. The action of the jury in asking
the question created some surprise. The
matter has been repeatedly ruled on in
Pennsylvania, and few juries are charged
without this point being touched upon.
Some of the members of this jury have sat
in the box on former murder trials, and this
was another reason why the question was
considered out of the ordinary.
On several occasions Criminal Court has
been opened on Sunday to receive verGicts
in murder cases; but only once-in the
"Babe" Jones case-has a verdict been
brought in on Sunday.

men injured in the mine at Meyer. for exam
pie, were sent to the Homeopathic Hospital.
When men are seriously hurt they should be
removed to the nearest place where they can
be properly attended to.
Concerning the remark of the doctor who
said that practiced doctors should be placed in
the hospital, all / can do is to point to the list
of men on the staff. They are such physicians
as Drs. ]. h. McClelland Cooper, Seip. Will
lard, Wilson. the Drs. Horner and Hoffman,
Winslow, Rankin, Martin, Miller and others.
Many of them are old men, and have had years
of experience. i am on the staff, and have
been practicing IL years, and / do not think
that l am baby in the business. These re-
ports have been started by disgruntled persons,
or some one has gone away dissatisfied.
As to the charge that the hospital is run in
the interest of few. this is not true. We
can't take in everybody, and every man on the
staff must work for his spurs. / expect to be
promoted some day as others drop out, and new
ones will be added. 1 think that the allopathic
doctors would like to get hold of the hospital,
al least one Of them seems to be making a
strong bid for it. / wonder how well he could
run a hospital il he had one.

THAT P. & W. REDUCTION.
General Manager Mcdonald Says They
Only Laid OF Few Men.


In regard to the changes that have taken
place among the employees of the Pittsburg
and Western Railroad, General Manager
Mcdonald said yesterday:
"We have not made many changes, and
those that have been made were not of an
unusual character. We have just completed
the work of the change from the narrow to
the standard gauge system, and found that
there were number of men on the construc-
tion pay rolls whose services could be dis
pensed with. As we had finished all the
construction we intended to do, there was no
further use for the men, and we decided to
lay them of. It was only measure of
economy on the part of the company, and
there was nothing else in il.
"We have not reduced wages in any de-
partment, nor do We intend to. None of
our employees need have any Tears that sal
aries will becut down. Whenever we find
that mans services are not necessary we
will let him go.'
