The Pau Mall Gazette says: With
in the past few weeks large number
of Irish emigrants have sailed for the
Argentine Republic. From the Linn
erick district alone there have left
nearly five hundred, and so serious is
this movement regarded that the Arch
bishop of Cashel has issued a letter in
which he solemnly conjures his coun-
trymen, as they value their health here
and their happiness hereafter, never to
set foot in the Argentine Republic,
however tempted they may be by offers
of free passage or an assurance of
comfortable homes. He says that the
language, being Spanish, is unknown
to them, and surely, on that ground
alone, if the people must leave the
land they love best in quest of fortune
elsewhere, they should direct their
steps either to the great Republic of
the West, where so many of their kith
and kin live and thrive and are happy,
or to one of the free and fiourishing
English-speaking colonies that own the
sway of Great Britain at the antipodes."

A LIVELY correspondent tells how
the Morton and Mckee children were
lost on Inauguration day, the drivers
of their carriages driving about town
when they should have gone to vii,
lard's Hotel. The families were wild.
Mrs. Mckee suffered agonies and
Miss Morton tainted in her anxiety for
her little sister Mary. Mr.. Mckee
and Mr.. Halford, though they said it
was all right, kept running out in the
rain, and messengers were sent in
every direction. After an hour the
carriages drove mp and the little ones
were hugged and kissed until they
were in more danger OF being damaged
by the smother than they had been of
pcrishing of cold or hunger while lost
IN the streets of Washington.

HE WILL GO IT ALONE.
Mr.. Thompson Couidn't Get Two Men TO
Help Him as Jehnstown-The People

Mr.. Thompson Couldn't Get Two Men to
Help Him as Jehnstown-The People
Would Not Distribute the Funds.
Treasurer William R. Thompson went to
Johnstown Yesterday afternoon to begin the
work of distributing the $500, 900 to-day.
Mr.. Thompson tried hard to secure two
competent men from the local banks to
assist him, but he had 10 go alone. Before
leaving he said:
My business has been greatly neglected.
and 1 really haven't the time to spare to
go to Johstown. but / am doing it. to
keep up the record of Pittsburg and show the
people that this city Is kindly disposed. / will
do the work if l have to do 1t alone, and re-
main up halt the night to make the entries.
We will commence to pay out the money In the
morning.
From an authoritative source yesterday it
was learned that Judge Cummin had offered
the $500, 900 to the Johnstown people to dis
tribute it, but they refused to handle the
money.
Both of the banks claimed they couldn't
do it, and yet Mr.. James Mcmillan, the
President of the Financial Committee, is
President of the First National Bank.
Finally Judge Cummin had to fall back on
Mr.. Thompson, who consented to do the hard
work for the suffering people.
Inc gentleman VINO furnisned the ABOVE
information thought the facts should be
made public to show the people at. Johns
town, who complain of not having the priv
ilege of handling the money, that they de-
cline to distribute the funds when they are
offered to them.
The same man thought the $3.50. 900 dis
tributed by the Johnstown Financial Com
mittee should have been held to even up
matters. He claims that the committee has
nothing to show for the money.
A temporary bank will be established at
Johnstown. Checks will be drawn by
Judge Cummin for those who have a claim
on the fund, and will be cashed by Mr..
Thompson. He will simply open a branch
bank, and stay with it until S500,000 are
paid out. Enough cash-Sl00, ,000-was
sent by Adams Express yesterday to run one,
perhaps two, days, and it will be forwarded
as fast as needed, and the whole will be
paid out as soon as possible, but as some
care must be taken there is possibility Of
some delay.
Only $3.50 were received for the fund yes
terday. The Allegheny Light Company
sent a receipted bill for electricity furnished
at Old City Hall. Lizzie Springer and her
sister, from Johnstown, visited the Society
for the Improvement of the Poor. They lost
two houses in the food and for the present
they will stop with friend until they can
secure work.

The most important business yesterday was

Campbell importation matter. A resolu-
tion was also adopted appointing commit
tee OF i've members from each OF the two dis
tricts to meet in Buffalo, n. Y, November
10, to confer on the question of consolidation,
in pursuance of the resolutions adopted in
joint convention Monday. At the Buffalo
conference, the plan of organization will
be perfected. The officers suggested that
this matter be referred to the different locals
throughout the country, and If they receive
q two-thirds popular vote in the locals the
districts will be consolidated.

His Boats Are Ipjured-The Lake Erie
Will Narrow the Channel Temporarily.
Mr.. james A. Henderson, of the Pitts
burg and Cincinnati Packet Line, was busy
yesterday interviewing lawyers and railroad
officials about the closing up of the Lake
Erie bridge at Phillipsburg and Pam
handle bridge at Steubenville. Both rail-
roads have commenced work, and the river
men claim they are obstructing navigation.
A protest signed by coal men land river
operators was sent to the Secretary OF War,
was the intention OF the Pittsburg
and Cincinnati Packet Line to sue out
injunctions against the roads pending the
decision of the Secretary, but this will not
be done.
Mr.. Henderson said yesterday that if any
damage were done to theif boats the Lake
Erie would have to pay for it. AS the Lake
Erie proposes to close up the spans, Mr.
Henderson claims that boat as large as
the Hudson cannot pass through if it is
little foggy, or the wind is blowing. Some
time ago the Scotia was wrecked at this
point by running into pier in windy
weather.
Superintendent Holbrook, of the Lake
Erie, when seen about the matter, said:
1 suppose all the talk about bringing injunc-
tion suits is lot of wind. We intend to re-
build the bridge at Phillipsburg. and the only
way it can be done is by putting two temporary
piers under the long span. The span is about
$50 feet wide, and when divided by the piers
will leave a channel l25 wide. admit this is
narrow, and if the river got high or the weather
was bad navigation would be dangerous, but as
we expect to have the span completed by Octo-
Der. and there is little coal to be taken out
don't think much harm can be done. The
bridge was built originally in this way.

A communication was received from the
Green Glass Workers Convention in session
at Atlantic City, asking the assistance of
window glass workers in making all nom
union factories union. The communication
was tavorably considered, and President
Campbell appointed Messrs. William A
Wallace. Joseph higgins and Emil Gaier-

gIon, feel keenly the unjust and unfair manner
in which they have been treated by their
employers in the past, in refnsing them

Chief Brown said he had opposed Mr..
Bigelow's motion because he thought the
No. pavement of Booth & Flipn was su-
perior to the Warren-Scharf pavement. even
at the difference in price. And further, the
specifications for the Forbes street pavement
called for No. 1 asphalt, which (there being
only one company in the county that con-
troiled the materials necessary to make it)
was unfair to the other bidders.

An Electric Street Car System Thnt covers
Overhead Wiring and the slot Kali
Nine Years In the Patent Once.
The last issue of the Patent Gazette gives
an account OF an invention covering sys-
tenn of electric street car system that affects
more or less all the existing railroad sys-
TENS in use to-day. On this account the
patent is of great interest to all street car
companies who contemplate adopting cleo
tricity as a motive power.
The patent was issued to Mr.. Stephen ID.
Field. OF New York, who is a nephew of
Cyrus w. Field, the millionaire, and
Stephen Field, Judge of the Supreme Court
in Washington. In his invention Mr.. Field
covers the system of overhead wiring and
also the slot rails.
Mr.. Field completed his invention in
1880. and he applied for a patent the same
year. Since then, however, numerous cases
of interference have been in the patent Of
fee, for the purpose of nulifying the in
vention, but at last it has come out all
right, and there is no doubt that there will
be a good many law suits coming up in a
few days on account of it, because nearly
every street car system of to-day is more or
less an. Infringement upon Mr.. Fields

A DIFFERENCE In WAGES.
The Men at Braddock Paid Less Tha
Those at Homestead.

The Men at Braddock Paid Less Than
Those At Homestead.
The settlement of the strike at Home
stead on such favorable terms to the men,
has set the workers at the Edgar Thomson
works to thinking. One of them said they
have come to the conclusion that they did a
very foolish thing when they quit the Anal
gamated Association, and wish they were
back again.
A member of the association in speaking
of the matter sald:
When they were in the association they
wanted the earth with neatly painted fence
around 1t, but we could not grant their request
and they left the organization. We are willing,
however, to take tAem back again, but they are
tied up in an agreement they cannot honorably
break, and we can do nothing for them.
1t is said hat the wages at the Edgar
Thomson are from 10 to 20 per cent lower
than those paid ct Homestead.
