COWHIDEs FOR LADS.
estant Boys Saws He Uses it and Why
Servant Girls Talk of IL.

The Superintendent Of the Home for Frot-
estant Boys Saws He Uses it and Why
Servant Girls Talk of IL.
Three boys yesterday complained to HUI
name Agent O'Brien that w. B. Maxwell,
Superintendent of the Home for Protestant
Boys, on Anderson street, Allegheny, was
in the habit of whipping them in the Home
with q rawhide whip. Frank Wilson, one Of the
boys, had been whipped while clad only in his
night garments. Mrs. Rutan, the matron, they
complained, had refused to interfere, and had
said the boys deserved all they got
A call was made at the Home last evening.
When the reporter explained his mission to
Mrs Rutan she admitted that Mr.. Maxwell had
whipped the boys, but said she did not think it
so severe or undeserved as they had reported.
They had complained to her, but she had de-
clined to interfere. Mrs. Rutan took charge of
the Home last November, but handed in her
resignation a week ago. and will leave in a few
days to take charge of similar school in
Salem, Ore.
She excused herself from the reporter for a
moment to go up stairs to call Mr.. Maxwell. A
servant girl, who had admitted the reporter,
was standing in the rear of the hall talking to
another girl. The reporter stepped back and
asked them what they knew of the charges.
Both of them answered.: I'VE have seen
enough already" One then remarked: I'm
a
"Then these charges are true y asked the re-
porter.
LIVERY word of them; only it is worse than
the boys say"
Here the return of the matron caused the
girls to run away In opposite directions, leav-
ing the reporter to confront Superintendent
Maxwell, who had taken charge Of the Home
January 25. He is a young man, talll and raw
boned. During the past winter he has been
teaching school in West Virginia, but now
works during the day in Dixon's wholesale drug
store on Liberty street.
In his statement he remarked he had thrown
away a strap which a previous matron had
used, as it did not hurt bad enough or correct
the boys well enough. He had bought a COW
hide whip which he used. He said he whipped
the boys, but according to his ideas, not hard
enough to hurt them. He claimed he was jus
titled in doing SO, as the boys were very bad
little fellows. The boy Wilson he had whipped
after he had gone to bed the other night, and
the Superintendent did not know whether he
had on his clothes or not. He also gave the
boys "a bad name," saying they were in the
habit of talking about walking matches and
cheap theater attractions.
Mrs Rutan informed the reporter that the
lady managers of the Home approved of the
idea of whipping the boys when bad. Two of
them were at the Home last evening, but de-
clined to make any statements.
The Home now contains 10 boys, whose ages
vary from IL to years. The boys work during
the day and board at the Home.

penalty. The resolution was passed without

knights of Labor Miners Would Not Sit
With n. p. U. Delegates in Joint Conven.
tiOn-Another Meeting To- Day.
The K. of L. and n. P. o. coal miners of
Western Pennsylvania and Ohio, who were
to have met in joint convention yesterday,
did not do so, and the breach between the
two organizations has grown considerably
wider in consequence.
The first trouble yesterday was caused by the
K of L delegates Withdrawing from the room
where the joint meeting was to have been held.
The n. P. U. delegates claim that the knights
of Labor wanted their officers to preside at the
meeting. The K of L. delegates then proceed
ed to hold a convention of their OVID.
When the Knights withdrew District Presi-
dent Conway stated that the operators had Of
fered them 7615 cents per bushel for mining
from November to May and 71% cents from
May until the following November. He asked
whether the reduction should be accepted or
not.
President Mcbride, the national head of the
order, advised that it be accepted.
The operators were invited to attend the
meeting of the N. P. U. this morning and
arrange a scale with the delegates
At the Knights of Labor meeting Master
Workman Robert Watchorn presided. Wig
orous language was used denouncing the N p
q. The following resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The mining trade, as regards prices
and stability, is in position which is not such to
warrant any dutaEOulSm between the interests
represented by employers and employees: and
Whereas, The best efforts of the best minds on
both sides are needed to work in harmony for the
protection of mutual interests,
Resolved, That we, the railroad miners of
Western Pennsylvania. representing the mines
of the various lines centering in Pittsburg hereby
express our disapproval of designing attempts to
coerce the representation of miners to recognize
factions, thus endangering the prospects of the
settlement of an equitable scale.
Resolved, That II is such an illiberal and unfair
policy which makes it impossible to maintain
those essential condit ons upon which righteous
compensation can be assured TO the workmen
Resolved, That we denOunce the Rratftuous ad.
vice contained in the manifesto issued and pub-
lished by President Mcbride of the N r. n in
which he forestalled the action of the miners and
mine laborers OF Pennsylvania and Ohio pending
the conyening of the DELEGATES to whom alone the
functions of scale making are by the rank and file
confided.
Resolved That any and all disadvantages that
met as result of the PRONUNCIATION of said
manifesto shouli not cause unfriendly feeling he
tween the men who risk their lives in a perpetual
struggle against want and for living wages calls
for our denunciation.
Resolved. That this convention, as a duly au-
thorized and representative body Of miners pub.
lish these resolutions in THE DIsPAToH.

In Charge OF Harris Theater, Succeeding
the Late b. Fl. Grover.
Mr.. 8. II. Friedlander, General Representa-
tive of Harris chain of theaters, is at present
in charge of the local house, having been called
here from Baltimore by the sudden death
of Manager B. H. Grover Mr.. Fried
lander is a genial gentleman whose
long connection with the theatrical bus
mess has fitted him for his position. He
may remain in Pittsburg for the remainder Of
the season, though more probably he will be
called to superintend the opening of Mr..
Harris new theater in Minneapolis.
Mr. Harris is also in the city, returning to
the East from tour of his Western houses,
which he reports as doing remarkably good
business. He intends making number OF i'm
provements in harrisburg theater during the
coming vacation, and he assures THE DISPATCH
that the high class Of entertainments he has
been able to furnish local theater-goers the
present season will be even improved upon
next year.
Manager Growers death was 80 sudden and un-
expected that absolutely no preparations could
have been made for the present contingency,
but the wheels of the machinery In Mr.. Harris
theatrical syndicate are so well fitted and
looked after that no friction or interruption
could occur, much as the loss of such valuable
lieutenant as Mr.. Grover is to his employer and
fellow employees.

WILL GLASS TANKS GO?

perience, Applicable 10 Jeannette-De-
cided Failures In Europe.
A Belgian window glass worker, who has
been in this city for the past three years,
was at the Pittsburg and Lake Erie depot
yesterday, looking for some of his country
men whom he had expected to arrive from
Boston to go to work at Jeanette. While
at the station he was accosted by DISPATCH
reporter and interviewed concerning the state
ment that the tank system at Jeanette would
be failure. When asked how it had worked
in Belgium, he said:
II have worked in the tank factories in Bel
gium, and, as far as turning out first-class
glass is concerned, 1t is fat failure. The
last place worked was in the factory owned
by Eugene Badeaux at Chartered. There they
run so blowers on three turns of 20 men each.
Each crew works eight bours, and the factory
is kept going day and night This is the larg-
est tank factory in Belgium.
81 also worked at Junet, which is likewise in
the Charleroi district. In this factory they
worked IL blowers. In the two years I was
there did not see what is called first quality
glass turned out of a tank factory. When they
want the best glass they have to melt it in the
pots. The tanks can work well enough on poor
quality glass; but they are no good on the hrst-
class product. A great many of the tanks that
were started there were abandoned, and the
firms had to put in clay pots. The firm of Dor
lodot, which was the Oldest in Charleroi in the
business, put in large tank plant and were
ruined, as it did not work satisfactorily. The
experience with the tank system in Belgium is
that it has not been a success.
THE cause of the tanks not working right is
the TACT that the gathering boys pull out the
glass before 1t becomes melted. Consequently
It becomes corded and cannot be blown. /
would rather remain idle for some time than
take job on tank furnace.
'If the tanks do not give satisfaction in
Charleroi [ do not see how they will give salts
faction at Jeanette, especially when made so
large. The largest house there has capacity
of so blowers; but at the new factory at Jean
nette there will be room for 2l6 of them. / do
not see how they can get the heat necessary to
melt such large batch of glass; The many
failures to work the first tank satisfactorily
show that it is too large"

TRIBUTE TO HIS WORTH.

Adopts a Memorial, Eulogizing the Life
of Major Omohundro.

The Executive Committee of the g. A. r.
Adopts Memorial, EulOgizing the Life
/ of Major Omohundro.
The Executive Committee of the Grand
Army of the Republic of Allegheny county
met yesterday afternoon to. take action on
the death of Comrade Sidney 0mohundro, a
member of the committee and of Post 8, G. A.
R. The following memorial was adopted:
Expressive of the feelings of the comrades in
general atthe loss of their much valued comrade,
the County Executive Committee of the Grand
Army of the Republic learns with sincere sorrow
of the taking of Of their fellow committeeman
and Corresponding Secretary, Sidney omohundro,
member of Post 8, G. A. r., which occurred at
his residence in this city this morning, April Is,
1889.
Comrade Omohundro was member of the
Fourth Ohio Calvary, who did gallant service,
participating in the principal engagements of the
Army of the Cumberland. He was with General
Sherman in his famous march to the sea, and has
written his name on the page Of history, no less
with his sword than with his gentle and kind
treatment of all those who have met him in civil
life. He Joined the Grand Army Of the Republic
in Erie, Pa, in 1879 and transferred his member
ship here few years later. AS a comrade he was
one who commanded our warmest admiration, be-
ing always ready to do that which was for the best
interest of the organization, sympathizing with
his comrades all questions Of interest and bene-
fit to the old soldiers and earnest in every duty he
was called upon to perform.
By his kind measures and manly utterances at
all times at the meetings of this committee he
helped materially to shape4rs course of action in
matters that were for the general good Of his COM
rades.
AS citizen Comrade 0mohundro won the re-
spect and esteem of all who came in contact, with
him, by his sterling qualities of head and heart
and genial disposition.
The loss by death of Comrade OmOhundro to our
organization and the community at large is great,
yet we realize that to his family this dispensation
of Providence has come with more terrible en-
phasis. But his rectitude of character and pure
Christian life, must in the hour Of greatest trial
prove O source of consolation to the men who
fought with him and the family who loved him,
To his widow and his fatherless children we his
comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic
tender that sympathy which goes forth from the
hearts of comrades TO comrades and their families
in distress. A. p. BURCHFIELD,
Chairman Executive Committee.
II. II. BENGOUGH.
The committee decided to send floral trib-
ute, the design to be the @. A. r. badge of
large size in natural oolors.
a meeting Of the Press Club has been called
for this afternoon to take action on the death
Of Major Omohundro.

LIBRARY BRANCHES.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie's Experience May
Benefit PittsbnrE.
A representative of an evening paper
talked with Mr.. Andrew Carnegie in New
York yesterday about the public libraries
he has presented to Pittsburg, Allegheny and
Braddock. He is reported as having said:
''0ur experience in New York with the circu-
Iating library goes more and more to show that
instead of one great central structure more good
can be accomplished by means of smaller branch
Libraries in this city. The Mercantile Library has
found 1t necessary to establish branch up town.
''You suggest this idea for Pittsburg also?'
''lt looks to me just now that what would be
best for Pittsburg is probably four or five branch
libraries one of these being somewhat larger than
the others and suitable for distributing point. ~
Mr.. Carnegie added, however, that he could
not undertake the Pittsburg enterprise.
the Allegheny building is altogether off his
hands. Controller Morrow favors the branch
system. James B. Scott is opposed to it. He
says Pittsburg is yet small when compared
with New York.
