TROUBLE AT HAND.

Armed Hungarians Moving TO Force the
workmen at Jimtown Out-Bloodshed
Already Reported.
The following special telegram from Con-
nellsville last night appears to be very sig
nifcant.
1t was reported here tonight that party of
Hungarians armed with clubs and stones had
been seen going over the hills from the Morgan
and White mines to force the men at Jimtown
to come out. Another rumor said that there
had been bloodshed there; but 1t is impossible
to verify either. as Jimtown has no telegraph
or telephone connection. The combined forces
are now centered on the Schoonmaker works,
and every effort will be made to bring them
out.
In the immediate vicinity no change has been
of the Grace Works of w. ]. Rainey to the
list OF idle plants. A delegation of men from
Uniondale visited Youngstown tonight to en-
deavor TO induce the men there to cease work
in the morning.
The latest feature In the coke situation in
Scottdale is the report that the strike will end
successfully as far as the Mcclure and the j..
M. Schoonmaker Companies are concerned.
Telephone messages have been sent to all the
works operated by these companies offering
the men an advance of six and one fourth per
cent They will try to force the price of coke
to point that will justify them in paying the
advance.
As tar as can be learned meetings are being
held at the works, and the probabilities are
that a number of them will be running in the
morning. Just what action will be taken by
the H. c. Frick Company could not be ascer-
tanned tonight.

THE DOUBLE-TRACK P. & ".

Notable improvements Take Manager Nc
Donald to Chicago-Engineers' Wages
RaIsed-Increased Traffic.
The Pittsburg and Western Railroad is
to be improved. The laying of double
track from Pittsburg to Gallery Junction is
settled upon. Mr.. Mcdonald, the new
General Manager of the company has, gone
to Chicago in connection with the project.
The sidings between Pittsburg and New
Castle Junction and the large track of land
purchased by the company some time ago,
between Bennett station and Woodville, were
only the first step toward these improve
ments. The yards at Pittsburg, New Castle
Junction and Youngston Lane have already
been enlarged at cost of S117 900.
Mr.. Campbell, Treasurer of the Pitts
burg and Western, is its only officer in the
city at present, Harry Oliver having left
for Europe last week When a reporter
called upon Mr. Campbell yesterday after
noon, that gentleman said.
Iknow the company has for some time been
considering the laying of double track to &C
commodate the enormous traffic. 1 have Just
received the accounts for the month of June,
which show a net increase of over SO 600 over
those for the same month last year. July, ! be-
lieve, presents even a larger increase.
This great increase is due simply to the
growth in business generally, and the enlarge
ment of the iron ore traffic from Lake Erie.
On account of the facilities we gained by our
docks at Fairport, great deal of ore formerly
shipped over other roads, comes over the Pitts
burg and Western. But whether Mr.. Mcdonald
went to Chicago in connection with the new
track project, / am not able to say did not
know that he had left the city until this morn
ing.
How we'll Manager Mcdonald keeps his
word with the employees is explained by the
fact that the engineers in the Pittsburg
yards have already received promised in
crease OF 25 cents a day. They formerly re-
ceiyed s. 75.

CAPTAIN AWL TURNS UP.
He VIII Return Home From the West To.
Morrow Morning.

Morrow Morning.
Captain William Awl, cashier of the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad, who has
been missing for nearly a week, and who his
friends supposed had met with foul play,
will return home tomorrow morning. Yes
terday one of his friends received letter
from him with the postmark of Western
city within 500 miles. Captain Awl stated
that he had been there two days, and would
be home Wednesday.
His friends account for his disappearance
in the following manner: Last night week
ago he started for home at an early hour in
the evening. He had expressed a wish to
one Of his friends to take trip West. He
said he had an indefinite leave of alb
sence, and ought to take a rest after the
arduous duties of camp life at Uniontown.
While in camp he had to work all the time,
having no experienced lieutenants to help
him.
After leaving his friends he fell in with
another friend, who was going to take a
midnight train, and invited the Captain to
go along with him. Captain Awl was not
expected home for several days, and thought
he would go along. He did SO and went to
a small country place to rest, where he did
not have q chance to see the Pittsburg
papers.
The Lake Erie Railroad officials had no
doubt of his integrity and knew he would
turn up all right. The sensational reports
about being short in his accounts they dis
credited, and said the books were all right.
His friends about town, last evening, were
relieved when they learned of the fact that
he would return home Wednesday.

OVER THE BRINK.

A Man and Four Boys In n Wagon Thewu
Into the River-Three Are Drowned-
The Others Finally Saved.
Harry Simmons, aged %, of 137 South
Sixteenth street; Ed Debar. aged 9. of 1871
Harcum's alley, and Leslie Berbow, aged 9,
of 24O8 Sarah street, were drowned at the foot
of Thirteenth street at ~ o'clock M. Fred
Schuchman had his leg hurt. Simmons
and the boys and Albert Debar were in O
wagon and the horse backed ana threw
them into the river. Fred Schuchman and
Albert Debar were saved.
The above simple register. at the Twenty.
eighth ward station house last night,
described in few words pathetic scene
witnessed from the banks of the Monon-
gahela river Yesterday. Harry Simmons
owned q horse and wagon, and did
general hauling on the Southside.
Yesterday he started from home for
q load of ashes 1t Twenty-fourth street.
As be started out two little boys climbed on
the wagon, and at Twenty-fourth street two
more started with him to the dump at
Thirteenth street.
Arriving at the dump the horse refused to
back the load, and Simmons got out and
was just about TO take 1t by the head, when
i
and all over the brink, 80 feet
down into the river. Simmons
rushed into the water to save the boys, and
succeeded in holding Eddie Debar's head
out of the water for a few moments, but in
his death clutches it is supposed the boy
choked him, and the two went down.
Little Freddie Schuchman's foot became
caught in the wheel when the wagon went
over, and, as he said: 81 got my foot loose
and just made my hands and feet 60 like I
saw boys swim, and finally got hold OF
the wagon, when o man swan to me and
carried me to shore" The man was Mr..
Moreland, an ironworker in a mill nearby.
He rushed into the river, brought the two
boys out, and then, diving under the horse,
cut the harness and let the horse loose, and
saved il. He says that when he brought
Freddie Schuchman out he clung to his
neck so tight he was nearly choked. He
has saved eight persons from drowning at
different times.
When carried to his home little Freddie
Schuchman was delirious, and kept crying.
81 saw him go down, he went down, he
went down, down, down, !" referring to Eddie
Debar, his companion.
The bodies of the unfortunates were soon
recovered. Leslie Benbow's body was not
identified for some time, and lay at Kim
mel's undertaking rooms, but in the after
noon was claimed by his parents.
The Coroner will hold an inquest at II
o'clock this morning at his Office. Simmons
will be buried in the SouIhside Cemetery
at P. M; Eddie Debar in st. Michael's

PAY FROM UNCLE SAN.
ExnctIy What Mercy Hospital Receives
From the Government

ExnctIy What Mercy Hospital Receives
From the government.
Mercy Hospital was never offered any aid
by the National Government. Nor have
the Sisters in charge ever thought of such
thing as.turning the institution over to the
State because it is hard to get financial sup
port In some unexplainable manner these
two errors crept into THE DIsPArcH's arti-
Gle about Mercy Hospital Sunday morning.
In 1888 the Government asked the Mercy
Hospital management to make contract
with it for beds for patients in the Marine
Service. 1t was to be merely q temporary
arrangement until U. s. Marine Hospital
could be erected. The Sisters said they
could not make contract at the price they
offered. This is probably the way the story
about them refusing national aid origina-
ted. However, q few months later the Gov
ernment decided not to build marine hos
pital at Pittsburg, and permanent arrange
ments had to be made with some local hos
pital for the reception of marine patients.
A substantial figure was proposed to Mercy.
1t was accepted and ever since then the
monthly bills rendered the Government are
paid. They range from $500 to 81, 900 per
month. The latter was the largest sum ever
paid. OF course this is not all profit by any
means, and the worthy institution can read
y find room for all other co ntributions.

OF for Disobedieuce.
Detectives Fitzgerald and Dennison who
went with the Yeldell party as far as WASH
ington, and who returned here Sunday
evening were suspended from duty yester-
day, by Inspector McAleese for DISC
bedience of orders.
The Inspector gave the two men orders to
accompany the deputies and their prisoner
as far as Cumberland, Nd, and then return
home.
Upon arriving at Cumberland the two
officers did not leave the train but pro-
ceeded to Washington. They were gone
from Thursday to Sunday night and
it is stated that the Police Depart
ment suffered in consequence. When
asked why they disobeyed orders the men
stated that they thought a rescue might be
attempted near Washington and accom-
panied the prisoner to that city. Upon
returning home, they stopped on to meet
some friends. A hearing will be held in
the case within few days and the men
will be laid off for about two weeks.

That Colored Patient still Thinks He IL
20 Years Younger-Dr. jackson Makes
n Cleor Statement.
That local application Of the Brown
Sequard elixir of Life" first noted ex-
cIusivelS in these columns, is still bearing
fruit in the way of stirring up curiosity
and inquiry, though beyond its amusing
features, it will probably yield few tangible
esults in the near future. DR.. Chevalier
@. jackson, who has continued his investi-
cation, was interviewed last night, and said:
The statement made in a morning paper that
an old man. to whom 1 had given Brown
Sequard's elixir" had said he could feel the
"hair starting to grow on his bald head" or
words to that effect, is an error. / have been
applied to by a great many people, chiefly
friends and patients Of mine, to give them a
dose of the "elixir." 1 did not do SO in many
cases, for do not think that any new remedy
should be used indiscriminately- Up to the
present time have injected the "exllir into
six persons, including myself; the latter being
those injected all have felt some ex-
liberation, though bu; scarcely =. notice, ice
top notch of health. All those injected pre-
sented themselves and asked to have 1t done,
and were willing to take the responsibility
IL
jections.
Two different old men, who were each given
an injection nine days ago, are still feeling. SO
they say, ten years younger than before the
use of the preparation. One old man, who
was temporarily much improved, by single
injection not repeated, has relapsed to nearly,
though not quite, the condition he was IN prior
TO the use of the elixir" This was probably
due to the fact that he over-exerted himself;
he felt so young that he worked too hard.
One woman on whom used the preparation
said she felt no effects whatever from it,
The negro first iniecJed has been heard from,
and still thinks he is 20 years younger than he
was. How much the effects of the so-called
''elixir" ere due to the injected preparation.
and how much to the imagination OF the re-
cIpient of the injection, / am not prepared to
state; the mind exerts much influence in
such cases. The preparation is, so far as can
judge, not properly called the elixir Of Life"
still see no reason to believe that 1t is any
thing more than a relatively permanent stimu-
liant to jaded tissues and / have still no evil
dence that it will prolong life one hour.
