A mass meeting of about 300 miners was
held Friday night at the mines of the Suer
Gas Coal Company, and Blythe's mines at
Shaner's Station on the B. & o. R.R., for
the purpose OF considering the scale recently
submitted by the operators of Western
Pennsylvania. The following resolutions
were passed:
To the Miners of Western Pennsylvania:
WHEREAS, The operators and miners of the
Pittsburg district have recently settled the
price of mining for the year at 70 cents per ton,
and since some of the operators have intro
duced another scale, viz, that the price be %
cents per ton and compulsion to deal in the
company's store, or 20 cents in cash;
Resolved. That this is detrimental to the
miners of this district; therefore be it again

Coal Company and Blythe's mines, ask that all
Pittsburg, May %, to take action on the refer
ence to company stores.
Resolved, That we urge on all miners

of all miners to be represented.
Resolved, That we urge on all, organized or
unorganized, to have representative at this
convention. as it is called by the miners and
for the miners, and we believe this to be to the
interest of all our craftsmen in Pennsylvania.
The convention will be held IN the z. Of
L. Hall, No. 101 Fifth avenue.

1t will be noticed that while some music
firms are picked upon to do the ticket SELL

are chosen to furnish the artistic, the mu-

No matter who sells tickets, for when it
comes to the musical part they all must ap-

satisfactory piano for the occasion. Look
at our own May Festival, Gilmore's con-

Here we find the great Steinway, the won

RAILROAD GOSSIP.

Superintendent Patton Denies That he VIII
be Transferred to the Main Line.
The resignation of Superintendent John
son of the Pittsburg and Western was no
surprise to some railroad men while others
were astonished when they first heard of it.
Two theories are given to account for his
action. One that Mr.. johnson felt that he
had not been treated squarely when Mr..
Mcdonald was put over him as general
manager. The other is that Mr.. johnson
was placed there through the influence
of T. M. King. Mr.. Spencer, the old
President of the Baltimore and Ohio,
and Mr.. johnson do not agree very
we'll, and since Mr.. Spencer left the
Baltimore and Ohio he has been asso-
ciated with Drexel, Morgan & Co. This
banking house hold most of the bonds of tiie
road, and tits believed by some that Mr..
Spencer is responsible for Mr.. Johnson's
displacement.
It is generally supposed that no sue
cessor will be appointed, but that Manager
Mcdonald will do the work.
Superintendent Patton laughed heartily
yesterday when asked if it was true, as re-
ported, that he would be tranferred to the
main line and Mr.. johnson would take his
place here. He denied Utmost emphatically,
and said he had heard nothing about it. He
thought the story had originated in the
Uranium of some reporter.

AGAINST THE EESTIBULE.
One Railroad Man is Opposed to Its Use on
Passenger Cars.

One Railroad Man is Opposed to Its Use on
Passenger Cars.
''While the vestibule on passenger cars is
recognized as big improvement, yet some
objections can be urged against it, said a
railroad official yesterday. 81 am continu-
ally looking out for trouble and how to get
out of it. In case of serious wreck the
passengers are imprisoned and there is no
easy exit for them. Besides in the summer
time the vestibuled trains are hot and
stufy.
''For winter travel there is nothing finer;
but as for myself always avoid vesti-
buled train whenever can.
SIT is claimed by those who recommend
the vestibule that the danger from collisions
is lessened, since, when the air is turned on,
the entire train is practically solid batter
ing ram and will stand considerable force
applied at either end. This is in a
measure true. The buffer at the top and
bottom of the car strengthens the coach and
prevents if from wobbling. For this reason
a vestibuled train is the cosiest to ride in,
and this is why the running is so smooth.
"But / tell you wouldn't like to be in
vestibuled car for all that in a lively colli-
sion. The Chicago limited has coIlided
with other trains twice; but in each instance
it was a lucky accident, and little damage
was done. I would rather ride in common
car in the summer time than be baked in a
fancy vestibuled train"

OARNEGIE's SLIDING SCALE.

C,u.fHoruhlw

It May be Adopted, but IL tSast be Nodded
Considerably.
The heavy reduction and pla. for a slid
ing scale at the Homestead steI qill of
Carnegie, Phipps & Co. dr. not
cause any excitement among the
members of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation. They do not anticipate any
trouble and treat the offer as a mere bluff on
the part of the firm. Secretary Martin says
this is the time when manufacturers
begin to offer reductions to their mep.
There are about 5000 men employed at the
Homestead mill, and $500 of the skilled
workmen are stanch members of the Anal
gamated Association. This organization
has seven lodges in Homestead, and they
are all in good condition and in good finan-
cial shape. 1t would be q very difficult
matter to secure as many skilled men to
take their places; in fact, the leaders claim,
it is impossible.
The men are therefore not worrying over
the matter and expect an amicable adjust
ment of the differences. In speaking
of the sliding scale proposed
bv Mr.. Carnegie yesterday
Secretary Martin said he favored the propo-
sition to make scale for a longer period
than one year. 1--WE have been in
favor of two or three years
scale for long time" said he, 'and at the
next convention of the association will dis
cuss the matter. We may concede the
three-year agreement, but rcannot say on
what terms"

A LITTLE DIVERSION.

The Weather is Hot for squabbles, but the
Blood VIII Boil Anyhow.
A little squabble occurred at the gate in
the Union depot last evening. which re-
suited in the arrest of big German named
Loeheider. The crowd were pressing around
the gate to go out, and when they had en-
croached too much one of the gatemen at
tempted to push man back. He resisted,
when few trainmen came to the gateman's 5
assistance
Both gateman and passenger agreed to
drop the matter, but Loeheider and another
bearded citizen persisted that an outrage
had been perpetrated on an inoffensive trav-
eIer. Officer Harrison asked the German to
keep quiet in the presence of the ladies, but
the latter's blood was up, and he would
talk.
He was finally arrested, after lively
struggle in which he struck the officer, and
the latter returned the compliment. Off
Ger Harrison entered a charge of assault and
battery against him.

Hanes joined the Federal army, and coming
into his old neighborhood, strayed from his
command and was captured by the rebels.
A party started ostensibly to take him to
Richmond, but instead took him into the
woods and shot him in cold blood This
part OF the story is supplemented by Mr..
Diffenbacher, who appears to have less
favorable opinion of the people of Shenan-
doah county than has Mr.. Rye.
Mr.. Diffenbacher states that he has been
walked out around the city by Mr.. Rye,

Difenbacher states that he himself came
near being mobbed in Woodstock, when a
boy, in 1860, for wearing Lincoln badge,
but it was the boys of his own age who
made it warm for him.

WIN Save You Money.

/ have been in business little over two
years, and to-day have the largest trade Of
any retail grocer in Western Pennsylvania.
This wonderful growth Of trade I can only
attribute to the fact that / guarantee. good

One grocer has been confding to the pub
lie that he has put in the latest improved
ventllating fans. We fear the wind from
them has got in his system, for OF all the
windy assertions we ever read his are the
windiest. We offered him 500 to prove his
claim to the largest trade. But he don't care
for money, you know; all he wants to do is
to gaze on those lovely fans and Absorb
wind.
We also offered him great inducements to
prove his claim of lowest prices. But as
ms low prices exist only in his Imagination
ne did not take us up. We think he must
be heartily ashamed of his boasting, but as
ms contract with the newspaper calls for
three insertions of each advertisement, we
suppose it will appear again.

Are Encouraged.
Although the strike of the Allegheny Bes-
semer Steel Works at Duquesne seems to be
at an end, it has not been declared of. Since
the strike at the Solar Iron Works, which is
also managed by the same firm, began, the
strikers have been out, and have hopes of win
ming the strike. They claim that the mill
is not making expenses and that the COM
pany will beunable to stand it much longer.
The strikers are still receiving support from
other mills in the way of provisions and
money.
The force Of deputies is being reduced
every day and now there are only about %

dent Smith, of the American Flint Glass

not believe that more than per cent

of the association, many of whom are tenn
perance men, and he has not yet met one
who has said he would vote for the amend
ment.
Secretary Martin, of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers, was
asked how the members of that organization
would likely vote, but said he preferred not
to say anything on the subject Hel ad-
mitted, however, that but few votes for the
amendment would come from his associa-
tion.
