Personal Senator Quay Pays William Finn
Compliment in Quiet Way.

Personal Senator Quay Pays William Finn
Compliment in n Quiet Way.
As Senator Quay and Hon. William
Finn have both been more or less talked
of recently, a rather funny interview with
the Senator, in which both are interested, is
called to mind. 1t was just at the height of
the Johnstown food excitement. A DIS
PATCH reporter saw Senator Quay crossing
the Union station platform with Samuel
Moody, and followed both up to the latter's
Office.
The Senator said he had just returned
from visit to his brother, who had been
been suffering for some time from painful
accident He then proceeded as in his old
time habit to interview the reporter, and
asked how things looked at Johnstown, as
he had been unable to visit the scene of the
disaster. He was informed and inquired
what practical measures were being taken
to clear away the debris. When informed
that William Finn was on the scene with
some :, 900 men ana competent foremen in
charge of the working gangs, he said:
"Billy Finn there with 5000 men and
his foremen. Wouldn't this be boss time
to hold primaries in Pittsburgh"
This was said with an JUNCTION that made
it no less an aspiration than good joke.

Districts Now One.
CARING FOR DELEGATES TO ATLANTA

The Phoenix Roll Works, at Forty-frst
street and the Allegheny Valley Railroad,
have just turned out pair of the largest
rolls ever manufactured. They weigh $4,000
pounds, are 142 inches in length and meas
ure 4S inches in diameter. The molds in
which the rolls were cast had to be specially
m ade, and were 16O inches in length and go
inches in width. The firm possesses facili-
ties for such heavy work, and by means OF
the powerful S0-ton cranes were enabled to
handle the huge mass at will.
The rolls were made to the order of the
Cambria Iron Works, and were shipped to
Johnstown yesterday. They will form part
of the new steel rail plant now in course OF
erection, and which will be one-third larger
than that destroyed in May.
The Phoenix Roll Works have also lately
completed two pairs Of armor plate rolls for
Carnegie & Co.'s Homestead Works, which
have rolling space of 100 inches, being 1872
inches wide. Each pair weighs 171 tons.
These are the largest armor plate rolls yet
made

TIE FOUNDRY DIFFICULTY.
The Manufacturers Meet and Decide to
Do Nothing.

The Manufacturers Meet and Decide to
Do Nothing.
A meeting of founders, whose molders are
still out, was held in the Renshaw building
yesterday. A call at foundry elected the
information that no action was decided
upon. The manufacturers are averse to
saying anything about their proposed action
or inaction, but from what could be picked
up here and there there seems to be lack
of unanimity among them.
They do not seem to know what is going on
among themselves, for one founder yester-
day stated that but three or four foundries
had really signed the scale, whereas it has
been signed by the eight whose names have
been published.
No further signatures had, been sent in
to the headquarters of the strikers yesterday
at the time of this writing. The men on
strike maintain the same attitude, and have
under contemplation demand for an ad-
ditional per cent, which, if advanced, may
precipitate matters.
Later it was learned that the Crescent
Foundry had sign the card, signifying its
concession of the increase. This is the ninth
firm which has granted the demand. There
will be meeting OF the molders in the K.
of L. Hall this afternoon at o'clock.

BEFORE THE PRISON BOARD.
Warden Berlin Behearses the Reasons for
the Matron's Discharge.

warden Berlin BeheafBes the heR1onB f0r
the Matron's Discharge.
The Quarterly Committee of the Prison
Board, composed of Judge White, Con-
troller Speer and County Commission Mer-
Ger, met yesterday to hear the statements of
Warden Berlin and Mrs. Elizabeth Rail-
ing regarding the latter's dismissal from the
jail. ~
Warden Berlin stated that he had dis
charged Mrs. Railing because of incom-
potency. She did not have the executive
ability necessary for the position OF Matron,
and disobeyed the rules, and would absent
herself from the Jail without permission.
Mrs. Railing denied that she was incom-
petent or had disobeyed the rules She assert
ed that she never went out without telling
the warden, or, il he was not about, leaving
word in the office. She had appealed to the
board because she did not think she had re-
ceived fair treatment.
The committee will report the matter to
the Prison Board, which will act at the next
meeting.
Mrs. Railing dismissal, however, is final,
as the warden has that authority. The only
action to be taken is as to the course of the
warden IN SO doing. As the case stands it
is simply question of veracity between the
warden and Mrs. Railing as to the circum-
stances of the discharge.

Alta meeting of the trustees of Saint
Paul's German Evangelical Protestant
Church, of Allegheny, held last Thursday
evening, the resignation of the pastor, Rev.
Alfred J. Koerner, was received and ac-
cepted. He came to the Allegheny church
from Utica, N. Y, two years ago, succeed
ing Rev. Mr.. Eldrich. The resignation is
said to have been forced, because of the rev.
erend gentleman's habit of borrowing money
and contracting bills which he failed to paw.
Last winter Rev. Mr.. Koerner prosecute a
libel suit against Rev. B. Pick, of the Ohio
Street Evangelical Protestant Church, al
leging that Rev. Mr.. Pick had said that
Rev. Mr.. Koerner left Utica without paw
ing his debts. Rev. Mr.. Koerner secured a
Judgment of 81 cents.
Rev. Mr.. Koerner's salary has been 81, 900
q year. Last June the trustees induced
him to leave with the treasurer S35 monthly
to be applied to his debts. After this had
been done for four months the trustees claim
to have discovered that they cannot pay the
debts as rapidly as the pastor can pile them
up. Recently Peter Lentz, member of
the church, who keeps grocery store at the
corner of Main and Walnut streets, sent a
dun to the pastor. In return he received
sharp letter, which he laid before the
trustees. When they called upon Rev. Mr..
Koerner for an explanation he offered to
resign,

Last night meeting was held in Home
wood school house to protest against the
assessment of property holders between Fifth
and Homewood avenues for the new Grazier
road opened from Homewood avenue to the
CITY limits. The property holders have
already been assessed for the portion of the
road between Homewood avenue and Fifth
avenue, and consider the second assessment
to be unfair.
Mr.. T. Stuchell occupied the chair, and
nearly all the property holders were in
attendance. The meeting was unanimous
in passing resolution that petition be
drawn up and presented to Council, request
ing that the viewers report on the continue
alton of Grazier street be sent back for re-
vision, or entirely Quashed. The meeting
also agreed to fee an attorney to tight the
assessment in court. They are very deter
mined in their resolution not to pay the
assessment on the new street.

ROwAND As A LAWYER.
His Record at the Bar Compared With That
Of Ofher District Attorneys.

His Record at the Bar Compared With That
Of Oiber District Affornsya -
With unfair eagerness to injure the pros
poets Of Arch H. Rowand, his opponents
hold up to the public gaze the statement
that he, as the Republican candidate for
District Attorney, has neither the ability
nor experience to fill the Office. A fair COM
parison of his experience with that OF law
yers who have acceptably filed that Office,
and who have given entire satisfaction to
the bench and bar, viii not be out Of place.
Mr. Rowand studied law under George
Shiras, Jr., was regularly examined by .
strict committee appointed by the Judges,
creditably passed the examination, and was
by the Judges of the several courts admitted
to practice. He has tried over 300 criminal
cases, three of them being homicide cases.
the most important in criminal practice. he
has one Of the best law libraries in the city,
and large clientage.
Colonel Levi Bird Duff had tried but few
criminal cases when he was made District
Attorney. General Pearson entered the ser
vice shortly after he was admitted to the bar
and had but little experience when he took
hold of that Office. Major Montooth had
tried but few criminal cases when pc was
elected. Colonel Bayne the same. John s.
Robb's experience was brief, and the pres
ent incumbent, W. D. Porter, had never
tried a criminal case when he was elected.
Who will say that any Of these gentlemen
was not credit TO the county, and after
comparison Of records, who will say that a.
much may not be expected from Mr.. Row
and ? venture the assertion that RoWand
will make thorough, fearless, competent
and hard-working officer, and that his O.
reer as District Attorney will be alike cred
table to himself and to Allegheny county.
He has never made "knov-nothing
speeches, nor sought favors from eorpo-
rations by prosecuting workingmen who
were striking for increased wages. On
the contrary he has been the steadfast
friend of the workingmen, and has proved
that friendship ON numerous occasions BY
appearing before magistrates and courts in
their behalf when they were prosecuted BY
his opponent, Mr.. Johnston, the Democratic
nominee. The Duquesne strikers, whose
case he successfully defended and whose
release from prison-where they had been
placed through Mr.. Johnston's eforts-he
secured, will testi y to this.
Mr.. Rowand stands before the public as
the unanimously chosen nominee Of his
party. His entire life has been in SYM
pathy with the laboring man; his gallant
services to his country are worthy Of recog-
milton, and there should be no hesitancy on
the part Of the public to show their appre-
citation. That be will be elected no man
who has been over this county can for =
moment deny; it is only question Of ma
jority, and when the votes are counted If he
has not 200 majority will be very much
surprised and disappointed.
