Strikers at the Carrie Furnace Said TO be
More Determined Than Ever Before
One Keeper Captured for the Mill.
The parties to the strike at the Carrie fur
mace have evidently set their teeth very
close together, and the struggle may be to
the bitter end. One of the strikers stated
yesterday that Superintendent Thompson
had gone to Shoenberger & Co. furnace on
Friday night, and had gotten Adam Brown,
a keeper from Superintendent Steel, of the
latter furnace. Brown was promoted to
be night boss at the Carrie. The arrange
ment included the promotion of Thomas
Dunn to keeper. To Richard Breen, says
the informant, was offered a contract for
carrying iron, one that would soon make
iIniIinice lot of money, but Breen replied
'ha@he was an old man, and wouldn't take
he contract, anyhow, under such circum-
stances.
The man who tells the news says the
Amalgamated Association and the knights
of Labor have decided to put Brown be-
yond the pale, and that he cannot get back
10 Shoenberger's. This man also says there
has been no settlement made, nor will there
be until the six men now in Jail are re-
leased. No men can come to work until these
men are out and no settlement approached
without this being condition precedent.
He also intimated that the company
wasn't likely to get as good terms now as it
might have had before affairs became so
much complicated, and that if strange work.
men were wise they would not attempt to
break the strike.

The armory Of the Washington Infantry

of the One Hundred and Second Regimental
Association. The meeting was summoned

nounced his escape to have been lucky in the
extreme. He was in the smoking car at the
time of the accident, and SO escaped unhurt.

OTHER INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF TIE DAY

William ]. Bremen, Esq, attorney for
the Trades Council in the case against
President James Campbell, of the Window
Glass Workers Association, for alleged vio-
lation of the contract labor laws in import
= men from England, returned yesterday
ON the East, where he has been collecting
lta for the case. He refused to state,
oweyer, what he had done in regard to the
matter, saying that it would all come out
at the proper time. He discredits the story
that Assistant Secretary Bachelor sent the
papers in the case back to this city for fur
ther information. 1t is now pretty certain
that the department
NEVER TOOK THIS ACTION,
and the story was probably given to the
newspaper correspondents by one interested
in the matter. Speaking of the case, Mr..
Bremen said:
"I do not think that the department ever
asked for more information when the papers
were sent to them. The statement that the
Assistant Secretary had asked for evidence
of a violation of the law, and did not want
hearsay, may have been sent out by one Of
the prospective defendants friends. 1 do
not see how it is possible that the depart
ment could ask for such information. We
had as good case as anyone could possibly
make, The only way we could
have better case would be to
have an affidavit from each Englishman
that he was brought over to this country
by Chambers & Mckee, and their fares had
been paid by the firm. 1t is preposterous,
however, to think that this could be done.
DOUBTFUL ON ITS FACE.
"Another thing that makes me think the
statement is false is the fact that the
alleged information came from the depart
ment The latter is not in the habit of
furnishing such information to the press
until the matter in hand has been officially
disposed of.
81 saw United States District Attorney
Lyon at Atlantic City, but he did not say
anything about receiving the letter from the
department. While in New York 1 read
the interview with H. Sellers Mckee, in
which he practically admitted that the firm
had hand indirectly in bringing the men
over. If this is true I think il is admissible
evidence in any court that the law has been
violated and the men must go back. No,
there has as yet been nothing done about any
suits"

GENERAL NEWS OF THE COUNTY COURTS

John j. McGirr yesterday filed suit
against William Mckay, licensed saloon
keeper in McKeesport, for $S76. the bal
ance due him for aiding Mckay and others
to procure retail liquor licenses for this
year.
McGirr states that last January he made
an agreement with Mckay whereby he was
to publish an editorial in the McKeesport
Sunday Herald recommending II appli-
cants, including Mckay, for retail liquor
license in McKeesport. He was to receive
S25 for each name so published, and $75 ad-
tional for each one that was successful In
getting license. The editorial was pub
lshed on January I3. Six of those so
recommended received licenses, including
Mckay.
In addition to this McGirr made several
trips to Pittsburg and about McKeesport,
and he claims it was largely due to him
that Mckay got his license. The value Of
his time for this was 800. He also, at the
instance of Mckay, published an inter
view with W. S. Bailey approving Nc
Kay's application. For this he was to re-
ceive $50. Two sets of books were opened
and posted for Mckay, making $40 more.
The total bill was 81. .095, of which McGirr
has received S218, leaving still due SS76.

The Congressman Refuses to Withdraw His
Pittsburg Candidate.
Congressman John Dalzel said to a re.
porter yesterday that there could be nc
truth in the report circulated by a Philadel.
phia paper of a deal between Senator Quay
and William Finn whereby all opposition
to James S. McKean's appointment as post
master in this city is withdrawn. He de-
clared he would never be a party to any
deal giving Senator Quay that which does
not belong to him. Councilman Ford is
Mr.. Dalzell's candidate, and the Congress
man adds: .,.....
"I do not intend to abandon the contest
for the appointment of my nominee as post
master at Pittsburg until President Harri-
son has refused to appoint him. The con-
test is not, in my judgment, one of men at
all, but one of principle. No Republican
representative from this district in all our
previous history has been denied the right
BY Republican administration to name the
postmaster, and no reason that 1 know of ex-
lists why an exception should be made now,
unless it is to be found in the dictatorship
of Quay, to which / am not willing to yield.
Mr. Finn tells me that the statement that
the opposition to McKean's appointment is
to be withdrawn is, so far as he is concerned,
and so tar as he knows, untrue.
II believe, therefore, that the Phlladel-
phia Press article was inspired for the ex-
press purpose Of misleading the President
as to the true condition ofafairs. do not
intend that he shall be misled. OF course,
if Mr.. Harrison sees fit to ignore me in this
matter, he can do so."
"Then, what will you do2"
"Oh, well, that is further along. I am
not assuming that the Administration is
going to humiliate me. When it does, it
will be time enough for me to declare
myself"

BRINKER AGAIN In TROUBLE.
He is Sued for AssauIting nm Old Man OF
~ Years of Age.


Charles Becker, of Howard street, ALLIE
gheny, has sued Alderman Brinker for as
sault and battery before Alderman j. C.
O'Donnell, of Penn avenue. Becker is an
old man about 72 years of age, and his story
is queer one.
He has a son about 13 years old, and some
time ago the boy was sued before Alderman
Brinker for some minor offense, and on con-
viction sentenced to ten days in Jail. In
company with his wife old Mr.. Becker called
on the Alderman to inquire about the rea-
son for this salty sentence, and he says after
arguing calmly for awhile, was put on the
street by the irate official The Squire, it
is said, followed the old man into the street
and dealt him several severe blows.
No action was taken in the matter by Mr..
Becker till some days ago. when he was
suddenly arrested on a charge of assault
and battery, preferred by Alderman Brink
er. He was committed to jail on this charge
in default of bail. He thsreupon consulted
his attorney, Mr.. Moser, and upon his
advice entered suit against the Alderman
for similar ofense.
The family of Mr.. Becker is said to be
highly respectable, and they have the SYM
pathy of all their neighbors.

MIR. Samuel Wainwright on the English
Brewers Syndicate.
Samuel Wainwright, son of "Uncle
jake" has been called out by the publica-
ton of the explicit reports regarding the
operations of the English brewing syndicate
Mr.. Wainwright denies, in one breath, the
existence of syndicate, and seems to
admit it In the next, and, if correctly re-
ported, states that while "there is no such
syndicate" yet there is an agent for it As
Mr.. Wainwright is reported, lisa sort of 'tis
and 'tisn't affair. He says party of En-
glishmen have offered to buy brewing plants
in this city, and their agents have taken
options, which are put in the market and
foated on the British public by bankers.
Mr.. Wainwright thinks that if the En-
glish do buy American breweries. the pres
ert owners will get them back again cheaply
in time. He says his firm has not sold out,
and he doesn't think it will. Two of the
company are away; but previous to leaving
they refused to consider the proposition.
He said, however, that the second PROPOSE
tion was better than the first, and be didn't
know whether it might not be temptation
sufficient to sell.

The Bureau of Electricity in This City
Favored Above Other Localities Little
Things Make Big Differences.
Chief Brown, who is progressive in his
ideas, has given Morris w. Mead, Superin.
tendent of the Bureau of Electricity, unre.
stricted power to introduce improvements
and adopt all the latest electric improve.
ments. Mr.. Mead, at the request of Mr..
Brown, visited all the principal cities
east of Chicago, and was able to make
a thorough investigation into the various sys-
TENS in use. With the knowledge thus &C.
quired be was able to take out the qualities
best in the frebox systems of other cities
and incorporate them and produce box
known as the Pittsburg Standard. OF
Weight Secter box. The Gamewell Com
pany built the boxes, under the supervision OF
the superintendent of the bureau. In the last
two years "a new boxes have replaced the
old ones, and it is the intention of the de-
partment to place 80 more immediately. Ii
will be but short time before all the old
boxes shall have been replaced. Mr.. Mead
said:
"The Improvements in the modern fre
alarm box, which are not INCORPORATED In
Tue OlO DO1, are q Key COutdCb NPSAs
and closes the circuit at one point instead
of three or four points. The point
now is made of platinum. which is
less liable to fusion than the old metal, and
this reduces the liability of fusing the
points of contact The platinum point
simpl, heats, without fusing. The new
boxes are also made for greater rconvenience.
In replacing or testing wires slip can be
drawn in which to pass the wire, which
greatly simplifes the old system, that took
hours to attach or test wire.
Instead of using the old spiral spring,
we use a weight, which is truer in its
gravity and does not get out of gear like the
spring. The weight secter box is more uni
form in its speed, easy in operating and less
liable to any failure than the spring
service.
There is also another reason why we use
the new boxes; they are but one-half the
price of the old ones, which cost $3.50. The
new ones only cost S125."
Mr.. Mead states that he is not theiDventor
of the new box, but merely arranged the
various combinations. "The city is now
wholly covered by insulated copper wire, "
said he. This is one OF the most prominent
features in the electric Improvements. The
old iron wire had to be replaced every seven
or eight years; but the copper wire will
stand for so years. 1t does not matter how
many weights fall on the insulated wire
they will not alter or divert the current"
