A New secrIos Of Washiugfon County Kxs

New secsIoa Of tFashiugfon County Ex'
cited Over OIL Prospects,
Oil smellers have hegiraed over into
q new section of Washington county. They
are leasing land between Venice and Mid
way, and it is thought boring will soon
begin Mr.. A j. McQuitty says no drill
ing is yet being done in or about Mansfield,
but he will not be surprised to hear Of its
inception at any time. Perhaps the County
Home farm may yet prove to be oil territory
and become self supporting.
'Tis a contamination devoutly to be
wished, as most people in the outlying sec
tions Of the county are getting quite restive
at being taxed to support a retreat for the
tired portion of the inhabitants and tempo
rary sojourners. mostly the latter. of Ne
Keesport, Braddoek and Sharpsbur1.
As has been urged in the case of the City
Home, at Homestead, it might be good pol
icy to sell the County Poor Farm and buY
another where land is cheaper. especially
should it prove to be underlaid with oil
bearing rock, as seems likely to be the case.
Were poor farms further from public CEN
ters they would not prove so tempting to
buns, who treat them as they would hotels.
They are their inns where they take their
ease when tired or when the weather is too
cold to keep warm in the open air without
working. The tramp's life has been a hard
one for some years, as the railway compa-
nies from year to year show more inclina-
ton to eject him from freight trains and the
roads in the country are getting worse in
stead of better.

A BISHOP DISCUSSES A RACE.
Tho Administration Gets Raped for I
Southern Policy,

The Administration Gets Raped for Its
Southern Policy.
Bishop Daniel A. Payne, of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, the senior
bishop of that organization, is in Pittsburg
on his way to Florida. and last night he
lectured in the Wylie Avenue A. M. E.
Church on "The Only Hope of the Negroes
Future" There was a large audience,
composed almost entirely of colored people.
The bishops idea was that the negro
should put his trust in God, and should
look to Him alone for elevation and
strength. In Africa, be said, the negro is
helpless because of his ignorance, and in
the United States he is helpless because of
his poverty. He is not only unable to pro-
tect himself, but has the misfortune to live
under a Government which is either un-
willing or unable to protect him. The
venerable bishop does not appear to be
greatly ensmoured of Benjamin Harrison,
and censured him for not trying to furnish
military protection to the black men who
are being murdered in the South. The
negro had no hope of aid from any political
party.
The bish.p declared that politicians were
untrustworthy and political parties alto
gether selfish. 1t was only to the Deity
that the colored man could look for actual
aid and comfort. His service would elevate
the race, increase their moral and intellectu-
al qualifications, and lift them to higher
plane. When the colored man is upright,
educated and courageous, no power on earth
will be able to Withhold from him his rights.

American Piano. Throw the European Ut

American Pianos Throw the European Ut
terIy in the Shade.
Fifty years ago all the good pianos were
imported from Europe, but they were found
to be utterly unsuited to our American eli
mate and soon fell into disFepute. Just
compare their himsy workmanship and ma
terial with such splendid instruments as the
Steinway, the Conover, the Opera, the
Gabler, etc., and you'll smile in contempt at
the European efforts to reach our lofty Amer
lean standard. Why, the firm OF 81. Kleber
& Bro. have imported the most renowned
pianos from London, Paris, Berlin, Ham
burg, etc., but they alf paled before the
splendor, vigor and brilliancy Of such ma
tive products as the Steinway, ConoYer,
Opera, etc. Just call at Kleber & Bro. 3.
6O6 Wood street, and examine their
magnificent new holiday stock, made of
every conceivable fancy wood and in all
styles of cases; listen to their exquisite tone,
learn the fact that those world-renowned
goods are fully warranted for eight years,
and can be bought at reasonable and honest
figures, and you will feel that your own best
interests demand that you first examine
these superlatiVe instruments, and, if not
suited by them, to then fall back on the sec
ond-class articles exposed at various other
places. The musical headquarters of Kleber
& Bro. g overshadow all other music estab-
lishments, for, in addition to having mo-
nopoly of all the frst-class instruments, the
reputation of Mr.. H Kleber for unfailiag
musical Judgment and unAinching honesty
and reliability of dealing make that house
the favorite place In Pittsburg and Western
Pennsylvania.

The Police Drop Upon No. 1O1 WyIie Avenue
and Uuearth Stolen PrOperty,

The Police Drop Upon No. 1O1 WyIie Avenue
and Unearth Stolen Property.
Michael Cant, young Italian employed
in shoemaking shop at No. 1O1 Wvlie
avenue, was given hearing yesterday after
noon before Magistrate Gripp on charge
of receiving stolen goods, entered by In
spector McAleese. From the testimony of
the Inspector and Sol Coulson the place has
been resort for sneak thieves who had
clothing and small articles to dispose of.
Some men now in the workhouse for petty
thieVing have acknowledged to the police
that No. 101 was one of their sale places.
When Coulson and Inspector McAleese
were looking through the shop for stolen
overcoat, Cant denied that there were any
coats there, and when the officers found it at
last, he made strong claim for it, asserting
that it belonged to him. 1t was identified
by Mr.. Ferguson, in whose interest the
search was being made. Cant subsequently
told different stories of how the coat came
into the store. Several other oYercoats were
found there on the same visit, none of which
have been identified. Cant gave bail in the
sum of $500 for trial at court.

THE NOMINEES AT WORK.
The Movement for NOn-P Partisan w. C. I.
U. Growing Steadily.

The Movement for Non. Partisan W. C. T.
q. Growing Steadily.
The non-partisan faction of the W. G. T.
q. is about ready to call meeting of the
members who have Withdrawn from the
union. The work of canvassing the State
for the purpose of determining the strength
of this faction is about completed, and the
leaders are surprised at finding many on
their side who have always been third party
people. The list of questions that was sent
out some time ago are being answered from
all parts of Pennsylvania.
The first question-that in relation to the
approval of a non-partisan policy-is re-
ceiving the heartiest responses. In nearly
every case the question, "Do YOU expect
the W. G. T. q. will ever return to such a
policy ?" is being answered in the negative.
An early meeting seems desirable, and re-
plies have been received from many who
signify willingness to join and work with
an organization based on permanently nom
partisan and non-sectarian principles.
The exact date for general meeting has
not been fixed, but it will be held as early
in January as possible. It will in all prob
ability be held in Philadelphia, and Mrs.
Harry White, of Indiana, Pa, will doubt
less be President of the meeting.
The meeting will be an important one, as
it will shape the future actions of more than
1000 active workers in the cause of temper
ance in this State alone.
Among the latest and most prominent ad-
ditions to the non-partisan faction in this
city is Miss Eta L. Clark, Secretary of the
County Union. She has taken her stand
with the seceders since the last meeting of
County Union, and is now reported as one Of
their most ardent supporters.

A RESTFUL SABBATH.
Resolutions to Go to Congress Adopted Yes3
terday by the Convention.

Resolutions to Go to Congress Adopted Yesa
terday by the Convention.
The Sabbath Convention which has been
in session in this city for two days past
closed yesterday by incorporating its views
in a very clear and able presentation in the
shape of the following declaration of prin-
ciples:
The fundamental idea of the Sabbath as q
civil institution is ''rest from labor" In this,
as truly as in its religious aspect, it is Of divine
origin and authority, inasmuch as its necessity
is written in the very constitution Of mans be-
ing. And it is the duty Of the State to protect
its citizens in the unrestricted enjoyment of
their rights to the day of rest.
In view of these principles we cannot but
view with alarm the fact that great numbers of
the citizens of this Government are, either in
part or wholly, deprived of this diVlnely given
right, and in many instances under the full
sanction of law. Chief among the agencies by
which this result has been brought about we
name:
First-The national Government in leaving
the territory over which 1t has exclusive juris-
diction without laws protecting the Sabbath,
and in requiring the hundreds of thousands of
employees in the army, navy and mail service TO
continue their labors through seven days Of the
week.
Second-The railroad corporations, with their
Sabbath trains.
Third-The vast army of dealers in intoxi-
eating liquors, with the open bars and open
saloons on the Sabbath.
We therefore first call upon the Congress OF
the United States to enact such laws as shall
secure to the citizens of tine District Of Colum-
bia and the Territories subject to their juris-
diction full protection in the enjoyment of the
day of rest
Second, we heartily commend the Postmaster
General for such reduction of Sabbath labor
in his department. as he has already secured,
and express the hope that, sustained by the
Government, he will vigorously prosecute his
efforts in this direction until complete cessa-
tion of Sabbath labor in the mail service Of
our government shall be secured.
Third, we earnestly request that an order be
issued at once disseminating the sale OF postal
matters and the special delivery service on the
Sabbath.
Fourth we ask from Congress and the State
Legislatures such legislation, Interstate and
otherwise, as shall prevent railroad companies
operating their roads on the Sabbath.
Fifth, we demand the strict enforcement by
our public officials Of the laws upon our statute
books forbidding the sale ofintoxicating liquors
on the Sabbath.
Lastly: That this association indorse the petit
ton to Congress for Sabbath rest law.

A WESTINGHOUSE NEW WORKS.


The Old Building ON Penn and Twenty
FourrA Street TO be Extensively Re-
modelled Upward Of $4,000 to be
Expended.
The Westinghouse Machine Company,
Twenty-fourth street and Penn avenue,
have pulled down the larger part of their
works, and they intend to erect substan-
tial addition upon the site of the old build
ings. The new works will run from Twenty
fourth street along Penn avenue half a
square, and back to Liberty street. The
new annex, when built, viii be used for q
warehouse, salesroom and machine shop.
The front of the building, facing on Penn
avenue, will be built partly of heavy stone,
and the balance Of red brick. The rear of
the building will be made entirely of cor
rugated iron. The total cost of the i'm
provements, it is estimated. will approx
mate $40, 900.
The new warehouse will be replete with
every modern appliance for hauling and re-
moving the heavy masses of iron used. The
great difficulty which has hitherto been ex-
perienced in shifting the iron will be obvi-
ated in this new warehouse. Two long
shafts viii be run the entire length of the
apartment; stretching from one shaft to the
other will be fixed a crane arrangement.
This crane will be movable, and it can be
so handled that it will remove piece of ma
chinery from and to any part of the floor. A
large space will be reserved in the ware
house for fitting up the various machines
before they are sent into the salesroom.
The machine shop will contain all the
most approved machines, so that the COM
pany will then be able to cover the whole
process of Transforming iron ore into the
most intricate pieces of mechanism.
1t is expected that when the new portion
of the Westinghouse building is ready for
occupancy it will give work for additional
men

SITTING THE CHARGES.

The ExecutIve Board of the c. 7. 9. Accepts
james campbelPs ChaIIenge-A COm-
mIrtee TO Examine L. A. 30O's Minutes.
A special meeting of the Executive
Board of the Central Trades Council was
held last evening at the Office of the No
tiondl Glass Budget The meeting was
called to consider Messrs. Homer L. Nc
Gaw's and John Philips expulsion from
their respective assemblies. Invitations to
be present for the purpose of making any
statements they thought proper in the prem
ises, were accorded to President james
Campbell. Master Workman Ross, and
Delegate Cambach, of L. A. Gil. The two
latter gentlemen attended.
The members of the board in attendance
were Joseph L. Evans, President; John
Ehman, Secretary; Patrick Carr, ]. A.
Young. Patrick Havey, Daniel McWill-
Jams and Hugh D. McGaw. Homer L. Nc
Cav was also present and read a lengthy
statement In conttoversion of the charges
made against him before the General As
sembly of the knights of Labor at Atlanta,
and which resulted in his expulsion. This
appears elsewhere in the columns of this pa
Der. Messrs. Ross and Cambach were asked
to make any remarks they thought tit re-
garding what they had heard, but both de-
clined to make any statements or appear in
any light other than that reflected
from their utterances on the question
which have appeared from time to time in
the daily press. In the absence OF Mr..
Campbell, a committee of two Knights Of
Labor in good standing was appointed to
accept that gentleman's invitation to attend
at the Office of L. A. 300 and examine the
minutes of the proceedings which led up to
and finally resulted in John Philips expul-
sion from the assembly. Regarding the
charges entered by L. A. Gill against Edi-
tor Kelly it was resolved that a copy of the
charges should be forwarded to him, and
that he be summoned to appear before the
board on next Wednesday, to which day the
meeting adjourned.
Mr.. Ross, when seen after the meeting,
said that an effort had been made to get him
to talk, but that he had contented himself
with merely corroborating his opinions on
the matter, such as they had appeared in the
Yrnse

No MORE RED TAPE.

Allegheuy's Chief Can Use His Own judge
msnt Upon Req uests for Help.
The Allegheny Fire Committee met last
night. A communication was read from
Mr.. Menough, the foreman of No. 10 Engine
Company, who asked that the action Of
Chief Jones in discharging the men of that
company be investigated. The matter was
laid on the table without comment.
Mr. Hartman offered resolution, which
was passed unanimously, giving Chief Jones
the authority to answer q request for an en-
CINE to put out fire in adjoining towns
within radius of 30 or 100 miles. By this
action the Chief is allowed to use his own
judgment upon requests for help. This ac-
tion was the outcome of the recent fire In
Leechburg. Such authority has never be-
fore been given the Chief OF the department.

BATFLED WITH A BURGLAR.

An Allentown Woman Takes a Bite Out OF
the Robbers Finger.
An unsuccessful attempt was made to rob
the house of Albert Hempster, in Allen
town, about 9 o'clock last night. Mrs.
Hempster is prostrated by her experience
with the thieves. When she went to an up
stairs room shortly after 9 o'clock she was
surprised to find the room dark. Before she
had time to make a move she felt herself
seized and hand placed over her mouth.
She struggled and attempted to scream. She
succeeded in breaking away by biting the
hand that was over her mouth. The man
was Joined by another man, who aided his
companion in freeing the latter's finger from
her teeth by striking her in the face.

southsiders Have to Await Heat in Cars
UnIil All Cars Have Stoves.
Southsiders are evidently very delicate
people. Some two weeks ago stoves were
procured for the Birmingham street cars.
The patrons had howled themselves hoarse
every year for the past decade for the heat
ers, and it almost took their breath away
when they learned the stoves had been or
dered.
Their surprise was still greater, however,
when they discovered how truly considerate
the company is for the welfare OF their pa
irons. One car with stove in was placed on
the road last week, and the second one went
on yesterday. But there is no fire in either.
A conductor said yesterday that the COM
pany did not allow fire in any until all cars
were supplied. 'The inference is, }" said a
patron, that the people who ride on these
cars are delicate and must be broken in
gradually, lest they catch colds"
The stoves have all arrived and they will
be put in the cars within the next few days.

RECEIVED ROUGH USAGE.

Flags Given sOuthside Schools BY the Jr.
O. q. A. M. Nearly Worn Out.
The American Mechanics on the South
side. who furnished flags to the public
schools year ago, are very much dissatis-
fed at the manner in which the flags have
been used Several hundred dollars were
spent for flags for the schools on that side of
the river, and it was expected that they
would last at least two years.
There is now scarcely respectable flag to
be found. A prominent member of the or
der, business man on Carson street, said
last evening:
sit is no wonder the flags are worn out.
The janitors allowed them to be exposed
to all kinds of weather, stormy and other
wise. 1t was never intended that the flags
should be abused, and it is due to simple
carelessnes that they have been.
"Do you suppose the Mechanics Will furn-
ish new flags again?"
"Oh, yes; 1 believe they will. In fact, I
believe there is some talk now Of doing SO. "
