Notice the Combination.

II is not our disposition to aggravate COM
petitors by cutting all their regular
prices as we do, which causes
CONSERVATION in the ranks to such a
degree that we have been approached by a
go-between to enter into a combination to
sustain values. Neither is it our aim to van
quish rivals, but to attract and delight the
people with bargains. When we opened
three years since, our competitors gave us a
warm reception; we appreciated it, and how
red hot we have made it for them since, you
can gauge by the gigantic business we have
established. AS one of the firm is present
at every important auction sale in New
York, ready with cash to seize any bargains
offered, We are constantly naming prices
that startle our competitors. Mr.. Jno.
Thornton, Jr., who has been in the market
the past month, has made some extraordi-
nary purchases, and the public is invited to
share in the profit Following are few
sample quotations, some on sale now and all
by Friday: 300 pcs. of linen crash, 16
inches, at &C., worth &c.; 80 pcs. of table
linen at &c., worth 45c., extra wide; 250
pes. of double width 35c. cashmere at &c.,;

His Reasons Not Clear Why He Wishes to
Wfthdraw-His Son Says Politics Had
Nothing TO Do With Ii.
George S. Fleming, Of the firm of Joseph
Fleming & Son, was seen at his place of
business last evening, and upon being ques-
toned as to the cause of his fathers effort
to be released from the bond of Chief
Elliot, said:
''MV father and another gentleman be-
came Mr. Elliot's bondsmen, after his elec-
ton as Chief of the Department of Chari-
ties, in the sum of $4,000. Afterward
Elliot and L differed in regard
to political matters in the First ward, and
following that we were refused license by
the Court. 1t was generally believed at
that time that Mr. Elliot used his influence
to deprive US of a license, but 1 never
thought SO, and / endeavored to persuade
my father that Elliot had nothing to do
with our failure to obtain license.
He. thought differently, however, and
nothing could shake him in his belief. But
can assure you that politics had nothing
to do with the step taken in relation to the
bond. My father, from information which
he has recently obtained, believes that he
has other and sufficient reasons for demand
ing his release from Mr.. Elliot's bond"
"What are his reasons?"
'i am not at liberty to tell you at present,
and must refer you to my father. He ad-
dressed note to Elliot two weeks ago, re-
questing him to furnish counter bond, but
has not received a reply. The failure of
Elliot to notice his request precipitated the
move which was made yesterday. That is
all can tell you about the matter just
now"
An effort was made to see Chief Elliot,
but he could not be found. A reporter
called at his home, but the chief was not
there.

STANDING OF THE STANDS.
The Outside Exposition Dealers Object to
Removing.

The Outside Exposition Dealers Object to
Removing.
The Building Inspector yesterday issued
an order to eight proprietors of stands on
Dusquesne way opposite the Exposition
buildings, to take down the structures they
had erected without the formality of taking
out permit. John A. Martin, of milk
shake fame, was among the victims and with
the others is highly indignant at receiving
five DAYS notice to stop business which
cost him about 81, 600 to get under way
His stand was erected by D. R. Speer on
his own property, and Martin thinks he
ought not to be held responsible for the sins
of omission on the part of the builder.
The business men who have stands con-
tend that the influence of the cafe owner
and other people inside the Exposition is
responsible for the move just undertaken,
and that if the inside business paid the out
side vendors would not be interfered with
1t is quoted in support of this theory that
even inside dealers may get at cross pur-
poses, as they did in the Cincinnati Exposi-
ton some years ago, when the purchaser of
the lemonade rights of the Exposition
sought to procure an Injunction to prevent
the Hyatt filter agent from giving free Ice
water to the Exposition visitors to show the
purity of the water. This failed, and the
standholders claim that the effort to shut
them down will also fall through.

President O'Neil on His Way to
Steubenville to Settle q Strike.

The Cigar Makers Will Turn Down the
Producers of Bogus Seals.
NEWS FROM THE BUSY MARTS OF LABOR

John o. Neil. President of the Potters' In.
ternational Union of the United States, was
in the city yesterday afternoon, on his way
to Steubenville to try and settle the potters'
strike at that place.
Mr.. O'Neil is. a resident of Trenton, N. j.,
and the association he represents is attached
to the Knights of Labor as national trades
district He explained the object of his
visit to Steubenville and the causes that led
to the strike. The latter is in Days pot
terry. where the men struck last spring
against the men who would not join the
union. After the strike the firm succeeded
in getting non-union men to work in the
pottery. but the strikers claim their work
was so bad that the firm lost by them.
The Journeymen Potters' National Con-
vention was held in Steubenvilie in July,
and at that time the firm tried to make
overtures to the union. The latter refused
to entertain their proposition, and since
then nothing has been done. A conference
between the firm and the representatives OF
the strikers has been called, and it is likely
that the trouble will be patched up
At the meeting OF the Trades Council Sat
urday evening, circular was read from the
Eastern Ohio Trades Council, at Steuben-
vile, asking all trades organizations in this
city to boycott the product of the
firm. The circular originated in
Ceramic Assembly, to which the strikers
belong. A general boycott has been insti-
tuted by the K. of L. against the firm, but
it has not been confined to any particular
locality. The strikers found that most of
the firms goods were shipped to this city,
and have asked the Trades Council to re-
quest that the matter be worked up. The
Council has not yet taken any official &C
ton about the matter. 1t is very likely
thatoficial action will be taken at the next
meeting, on the 21st. President O'Neil
willreturn to the city in few days.

NEARLY HALF SICK.
Twenty-six Children in the CoIored Orphan
Asylum Have Scarlet Fever-The School
Turned Into a HOspitaI,


Turned Into Hospital.
The Colored Orphan Asylum on Green
wood street, on the banks of the Ohio river,
is the scene of much gloom and confusion.
There are 60 little colored people cared for
in the asylum, and 26 of these have been
stricken down by that dreadful disease,
scarlet fever. This alarming scourge first
manifested itself about last Wednesday,
when the bright eyes Of the children were
observed to grow dull, the eyelids to become
heavy, and one after another fell asleep in
the school room.
The authorities we're of course very much
alarmed, and summoned medical assistance
at once. Dr. Wilson, homeopathic physi-
clan of Allegheny, pronounced the disease
scarlet fever. but said it was of mild type.
Only three of the cases were at all serious.
and even these are rapidly improving.
When DISPATCH reporter called at the
institute yesterday afternoon it was evident
at glance that something was wrong. The
courteous matron of the establishment
showed the reporter through the building,
and explained its workings as she went
along.
Lie SCuOOl TOUu WAS IeLudTkdDle the
number of empty benches, but there still
remained children enough to screw their
necks into all sorts sof stiff positions, in order
to catch glimpse of the visitor.
Even in the sick wards it was almost i'm
possible to keep them quiet. The girls put
their heads under the blankets, and giggled
in way that seemed to belle their feeble
condition. The boys all looked bright and
airy, and peeped out to see If the doctor was
coming. In the nursery the arrival of the
reporter was announced by one little urchin
who shouted: "Here comes man," and
general ducking of heads was the result.
The children do not like the change of
diet, which their malady necessitates. AS
one little fellow put it, "corn bread was
better than milk and crackers" The SUBJ
stantial food, which has usually been iur-
nished the inmates, has had to give way to
milk, crackers, toast, water and other light
refreshments.
No fear is entertained of the spread of
the disease No new cases nave been re-
ported since Sunday, and those already suf-
feiing with the disease are much improved.
The matron could assign no cause for the
outbreak unless it was that the children had
overheated themselves while at play and
caught a cold afterwards.

GOV. BEAVER HAS ANSWERED.

Chairman McCrecry Receives an Important
cial Meeting Impending.
Governor Beaver has broken the silence
at last, after exactly two weeks of medita-
tion, by lengthy letter to William Nc
Creery, ESQ.,, Chairman of the Pittsburg
Relief Committee.
The fact that Mr.. McCreery had, in his
official capacity, requested Governor James
A. Beaver to return, as promised, S125, 900
to the Pittsburg committee was exclusively
published in The DISPATCH two weeks
ago last Saturday. Since that time the
amount of Executive silence around Mr..
McCreery's Office has been very appalling
to the newspaper representatives.
Yesterday, however, changed the tune OF
''the letter that never came, for MIR. Nc
Creery received very lengthy letter from
Harrisburg bearing the distinguished frank
of Governor Beaver.
81 understand that you have received a
letter from Governor Beaver, Mr.. Nc
Creery," said a DISPATCH representative,
entering the Office of the Imperial Coal
Company.
''Yes. The letter has arrived. 1 Ireceived
it Saturday evening after my return from
my little outing"
The newspaper man limited that publish
ing the letter would suit The DISPATCH
right down to the ground.
''No doubt, no doubt" said Mr.. Nc
Creery. "But the Governors letter will
NOT reach the public through any channel
until it has been discussed at special
meeting of the Pittsburg Relief Committee,
l shall call the meeting for some day this
week. Oh no, might as well give you the
letter as to give any explanation of the
Governors attitude. The letter is long and
important. and treats of so many subjects in
connection with Pittsburg's share in the
food relief that it would not be judicious to
even hint at its contents before it is passed
on by the committee. can say, however,
that 1 see no reason to depart from the
stand 1 took from the first in this matter. l
think the meeting will be as interesting as
the cause of the call"
The following reply from Harrisburg was
received last night to telegram asking for
the Governors letter:
The Governor says he has no copy of the let
ter sent to William McCreery which he states,
was sent about week ago, and was in reply to
Mr.. McCreery's demand for Sl25, 600. He told
MIR. McCreery that he certainly misunderstood
him, as to the alleged promise to make up the
amount expected by the Pittsburg committee.

THE NEW CENTRAL STATION.
How it Wouid Save the City Expense and

How it Would Save the City Expense and
Render Police Work More Emcieut and
Convenieni.
The ordinance presented in Councils yes
terday by Mr.. Heating providing for the
appropriation of portion of the Mononga-
hela, wharf on the opposite side of the
Smithfeld street bridge to the B. & O..
depot for central police station site, meets
the approval of the city officials generally.
The proposition is to take 200 feet along
Water street. beginning at the west side Of
the approach to the Smithfeld street bridge,
the strip to be the same width as that
granted to the B. & o. railroad for the new
depot. Chief Brown is the author Of the
bill, and speaking of it last night. he said:
II think the location would be excellent.
We have been notified to quit the present
Central police station, by the LIST of
next April, and as the property be-
longs to private parties who wish
to tear it down and rebuild we
will have to 60. Our lease expires
them. We musthave another place to go to
by that time, and as there are none avail
able we must build, and in order to get
building up by that time we must begin at
once.
my idea is to build structure something
after the style of the new Baltimore and
Ohio depot, making at once an ornament to
that part of the city and substantial
building that will answer all purposes.
There is economy in the thing for one
recommendation. The city can appropriate
this ground and it will cost nothing, while,
If we were to buy suitable site in the lower
Dart of the citv whore IL uoadu m OF hn it
would cost anywhere from $50, 900 to S110,-
600. So much for that. Now, we are paying
an aggregate rental of 5000 for our police
station, patrol stable, department warehouse
and the Bureau of Health building on
Seventh street. That Is 5 per cent on an
investment of 500. 900, and it is easy to see
how, if we put up a building to cost the
latter sum, we could in few years save its
cost.
"The convenience thus secured by having
the Department of Public Safety depart
ments in one building is one OF the strongest
recommendations of this plan. We want to
have our prison department separate from
our various offices, and with the site have
suggested we would have sufficient depth to
place the cells in wing on the water line,
thus securing at once good sewerage, good
ventilation, exclusion and convenience.
We could construct the building to accom-
modate the departments have named, as
well as sleeping and bath departments for
the emergency police, gymnasium for the
men and good police court room.
"The ordinance has been referred to the
Finance Committee and il afirmatlvely
recommended by them think there will be
no difficulty in getting Councils to pass it."

A POLISH CONVENTION.
Delegates From This Vicinity Gone TO
Attend the Meeting.

Joseph Rosinski, delegate to the Polish
National Alliance, to be held at Buffalo, n.
Y, left last evening for that place. He was
accompanied by Charles D. Nooack, of
Mount Pleasant, who is the delegate from
Westmoreland county.
The convention will last about one week,
and will be attended by over 200 delegates
from all parts OF the country. The object
of the Alliance is to devise ways and means
for the improvement OF the condition of the
Polish people in this country. The rules
of the organization require every man to
become citizen as soon as he is eligible for
citizenship. The members are also not
allowed to belong to any socialistic or
anarchistic secret society, and everything is
done to make good citizens of them.
There are two branches of the alliance in
this city and 123 branches in the United
States. In Pittsburg there are over 200
members in the two branches. The organi-
zation also takes charge of any sick or dis
tressed Poles, and upon the death of a
member an assessment benefit is paid.
The next annual convention will probably
be held in this city.

The Cigar Makers' President Will Protect
Their Yellow Seal.
Jim Ehman, the well-known labor leader
of tis city, yesterday received letter from
Preident Strausser, of the Cigar Makers
International Union, at Buffalo, about the
yellw seal label, which is being initiated.
In lis letter President Strausser says he
VI take immediate steps to prosecute the
p pms initiating the label.
Nveral weeks ago L. A. 1894, cigar
maers, of this city, accidently discovered
tina a firm in Chicago were sending circu-
larto cigar manufacturers of this city offer
ing to sell them an imitation union seal
la6l. The label was intended for firms or
Individuals running non-union shops who
wised to convey the impression that they
wee union manufacturers. One of the cir
culrs fell into the hands of q member of L.
ALBA, who had the matter brought to the
attltion of the Trades Council. Secretary
Wrd, of the latter, wrote to President
Stiusser, who was charged with furnishing
thseal. Some of the courts have decided
thathe seal OF a labor organization is the
san as copyright, while others say that it
is 4 infringement to initiate it.
