Good Evidence of n Shortage of ANTI

Good Evidence of a Shortage of ANTI
Prohibition Funds-Lively Incidents
Yesterday-The Literary Campaign.
The first signs of active work by the
Allegheny County Brewers Association
against the prohibitory amendment were
shown yesterday, when the work of the dis
tribution of campaign literature on the
streets was begun. At the headquarters of
the association, on Fourth avenue, there
are thousands of circulars, pamphlets, ETC.,
which will be sent out by mail and dis
tributed by hand until the day of election.
A regular meeting of the association was
held yesterday. 1t was decided to send
eight delegates to the National Convention of
Brewers. which will be held at Niagara Falls
June 5. Who the delegates will be is to be de-
cided at the next meeting.
An important feature of the National Con-
vention will be the effort to be made by the
Pittsburg brewers to have that body recognize
the coming State election and make it a ma
tional issue. The necessity of contributing
heavily to the campaign fund VIII be placed
country While the State association has lots
Of money to carry on the work, it needs more,
and will not be backward about saying so. The
active workers wish to give prohibition such
setback that it will not only be killed forever
in this State, but all over the country. To do
this they will require aid from the national
body.
The retail liquor dealers are also making
extra efforts to raise money for the campaign.
All day yesterday a committee of four were out
in a carriage soliciting money from the saloon
keepers. The members of the committee were
Matthias Weiss. Samuel Bing, George Refine
man and Thomas Delaney. They will visit
every liquor dealer and saloon keeper in the
county and ask them to contribute to the cam
paign fund.
lit would be supposed that the saloon keepers
who were fortunate enough to receive license
would contribute heavily to the fund, but such
is not the case. While the committee were out
yesterday, the carriage drew up in front of well
known Smithfield street saloon. The propue-
tor saw the carriage and Immediately got "out
of the road" After the committee had de-
parted, the saloonkeeper, whose receipts will
probably amount to 500 a day, said:
II can't afford to give those fellows any
money. Let them go to some of the big whole
sale liquor dealers, who are making money. A
little saloon like the mine can't be expected to
come down with the stuff" ETC.
1t was rumored last evening that the retail
liquor dealers had considerable trouble getting
money and that unless the saloon keepers come
up with the cash there will be bomb burst in
the camp of the liquor element within a few
days. 1t has been supposed all along that the
people who are fighting prohibition had plenty
of money; but saloon keeper who claimed to
know said this was not true.
The next meeting of the brewers will be held
Wednesday next, instead of Thursday, on &C.
count of the latter being Decoration Day.

WILL BEER BE CHEAPER?
An Intimatiou That Home Brewers May Cut
to Save Themselves.

An Intimation That Home Brewers Mny Cut
to Save Themselves.
There are intimations scattered far
and wide that the monopoly grant,
ed 90 people in this city to sell
spirits by the drink will not be so
much of pudding after all. A number of
men were discussing the matter last night. All
were moderate drinkers, men who take their
nips frequently, but would not get drunk,
though the glass were made as delicious as
1.-THE nectar which Jupiter Sips"
Said one: I'VE will get beer cheap this year,
and saloon keepers will be wise if they hold
their drink trade as far as possible by better
treatment than some of them are giving. They
seem to think that as they have a monopoly
they can give US little glass containing four
tab1espoonfuls of beer, and, If some of them
do put up decent-sized glass, it is nearly all
collar"
Said another: II know we will have cheap
beer, and home brewers can only hold their
trade here by cutting prices. Many people who
must have beer or whisky, or think they must,
and who are not SO much addicted to the habit
as to be willing to fight like pigs in trough to
get to bar, will buy by package or case, and
this is the way they will be served. They will
not buy at retail in this city at ALL but will send
their money to some other city, and the foreign
brewer will have his warehouse in this city.
"As soon as the money is received, say in
Cincinnati, ST. Louis, or some other city, the
warehouseman here will get an order to de-
liver case of beer, or whatever may be
wanted, and it will be delivered. There are
plenty of people who will have their drink, bnt
who will not walk half mile for it.

TROUBLE AT TWO MILLS.

AmalEnmaIed Association Executive Com
mitees Kept Busy Yesterday.
The headquarters of the Amalgamated
Association was crowded with iron and steel
workers all afternoon yesterday, and the
Executive Committees of both divisions of the
First district held investigations. The first
was held in the private room by the committee
Of the Second division. They were investi-
eating the trouble at the Wayne Iron Works.
This mill is closed down pending a settlement
of the trouble.
After several witnesses had been examined a
committee was appointed to wait on the firm
and discuss the matter. They were given power
to settle if possible. The committee visited the
works. but could not find any members of the
firm, and will make an effort to see them to-
day.
The trouble in the First division may lead to a
strike at the Fifteenth street mill of Oliver
Bros. & Phillips. A Zimmerman was dis
charged and appealed to the Execu-
tive Committee. The body met
several witnesses. Mr.. D. B. Oliver was asked
to be present and was with the committee for
fully two hours explaining the matter. When
he retired the matter was discussed at length
and an evening session held. The result of the
deliberations on the matter could not be
learned
President Weihe did not interfere in either
of the controversies and said he knew nothing
present at the meetings of the two committees.

Cut Nall Manufacturers Can Now Sell All Of
Their Product.
The Cut Nail Association, representing
IA Ohio Valley mills, met in called session
at Wheeling yesterday afternoon for the
purpose of taking action on the notice given
the LaBelle Mill in April last Of its intended
withdrawal from the pool unless certain modi-
fications in the existing arrangements and re-
strlctlons were not conceded. The LaBeHe has
been large seller Of nails since the organiza-
ton of the pool, and generally has round
amount to pay into the fund each month in the
shape of 10 cents per keg on the excess of sales
over and above its allotment.
This monthly contribution became, as it
seems unpopular with the management of the
LaBelle, and hence notice was given to the
pool of its intended withdrawal. 1t was to de-
wise ways and means looking to the preserva-
tion of the pool that yesterdays session was
called, and there was vast amount of debate
as to the situation of the trade and the kind of
remedies needed for its unsatisfactory condi-
ton. The result of the conference was that
the 10 cents per keg feature of the pool was
suspend ed for the present, and each mill can
now market its own product without that re-
striction.
orders, and that prices would improve but for
some recent sales OF some two or three mills in
the West outside OF the association notably
the mill at Belleville, ILL.,, and the one at Terre
Haute. They further say that ir is folly to
attempt to sell nails at the prices made by
not repeat their recent sales but will close
down, and that it was in preparation to close
down that they sold their stock on hand.
They also deprecate the idea of surrendering
all the possibilities for the good OF their pool
in order to meet pricess that do not repay cost

The Bonrd of Viewers Hear the Property
Owners ms to Widening.
The Board of Viewers accorded hearing
yesterday morning to property owners on
Diamond alley, in regard to the proposition
to widen that thoroughfare. Itwas an informal
gathering intended more to give the board some
data to work upon. The members of the board
were anxious to get what they considered
reasonable figures, so they could make their
report to Councils.
Many of the property owners stated their op-
position to the widening and others favored it.
Major Negley, who represented the Citizens
National Bank, objected, and Mark Watson,
representing the Exchange National Bank, and
Charles Meyran, in the interest of George
Reineman favored the improvement if it was
not too costly. John s. Lambie, representing
the estate Of Isaac Craig, thought the property
was worth about SO, 900. Mr.. Howard valued
his at SIS, 600 a foot, exclusive OF the building

about the correct figure, and would ask addi-
tional damages for the Improvements which he

will visit the street and assess damages in their
opinion Just to all.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
YORK, PA, May 23.-The Grand Lodge
of Odd Fellows of Pennsylvania held its
closing session in this city to-day. 1t was
decided that members should be permitted
to wear their regalias on Decoration, Me-
mortal and Independence days. The i'm
portant question of the session was then
brought up. that of admitting to member
ship applicants at 18 years of age. The sem
timent against such a movement was so one
sided that motion to confne all debates to
three minutes prevailed. However, this
was unnecessary, as the previous question
was called after the first address in opposi-
ton, and the motion looking to the indorse-
ment Of the proposition was voted down al
most unanimously.
1t was decided to hold the next annual
meeting in PittsDurg by vote Of 391 to
1853. This session will be one of the most
important ever held, in view of the fact that
an entire new constitution will come up for
adoption or rejection. The following Off
GERS were then installed, alter which the
convention adjourned:
G. c., Rev. j. j. McIllyar, Allegheny;
G. NJ, William A. Witherup, Philadel-
phia; G. c., P. A. Shaner. McKeesport; 6.

CAN'T FIGURE 1T OUT.
The Business Tax on Booze Will be Short

The Business Tax on Booze Will be Short,
and Cannot be Spliced.
The business assessments of the city are
about completed. Owing to Judge Whites
raid on the saloons, the amount of revenue
from this source will be considerably curtailed,
and as the Finance Committee had not con-
suited with His Honor when it made its esti-
mate of receipts, the budget is likely to be
somewhat awry this season.
Though 1t is supposed that receipts from SO
saloons will be greater than from any 93 of last
year, yet it is difficult to figure out any method
by which to collect the same tax from SO as was
gotten from several hundred last year.
At best this business tax is an uncertain
quantity. While some people are taxed to the
full, there are instances where the assessors
are in the dark, and can't find matches Some
years ago one man whose business was rated at
SOS 600, confessed that he must do $500 900 worth

EXAMINING THE TESTIMONY.
Archbishop Ryan Visiting the Churches and
Converts.


Converts.
Archbishop Ryan, who is here settling
the troubles at the Ursuline Convent,
did not visit that institution yesterday
but spent most of his time examining the tes-
timony he had taken the day before. He made
careful investigation of the worth of the
Oakland property, and the indebtedness of the
institution. In accordance with his finding he
will settle the claim of Mother Alphonse. The
amount to be paid her will not be known until
His Grace makes his report.
In the afternoon the Archbishop, accompanied
by his private secretary, DR.. Hortsman. Bishop
Phelan and Father WALL drove about the city,
and visited the convent and st. Mary's Church
on Forty-hfth street. His Grace was much
pleased with the buildings and management.
He will visit the other converts and churches
in the city before he returns home.
1t was authoritatively stated yesterday that
the documents reuniting the diocese Of Pitts
burg and Allegheny had been received by
Bishop Phelan, and the latter will remove his
residence to ST. Paul's Cathedral. AS soon as
he does this It will be necessary to appoint a
pastor at the Pro. Cathedral in Allegheny.
