MYLIN'S QUEER VISIT.
The Senator Wants to be the Next Lieuten.
ant Governor.

The Senator Wants to be the Next Lieuten.
ant Governor.
Senator Mylin's visit to Pittsburg at this
time has started the local politicians to
guessing. An effort was made to find the
Senator yesterday without avail. 1t is
known he is not here on committee work.
Senator Steel spent good part of the day
yesterday with him, and it is believed he
has come to the city to pay Mr.. Magee a
friendly visit.
Senator Mylin would like to be the next
Lieutenant Governor, and he doesn't make
any bones about it. Just now his chances
are admitted to be rather slim. Senator
Quay is engineering new deal, and the
contest for the place is said to lie between
Ed Martin, a prominent lawyer of Lancas-
ter, and Senator Watres, of Lackawana. A
Lieutenant Governor will not be elected for
two years to come, but Senator Mylin evil
IDENTIFY believes in taking time by the
forelock.

Granger Committee.
Mr.. G. Watson, the Secretary of the oleo-
margarine men, came back from Harrisburg
last night in an angry mood. He claimed
the prejudiced Granger committee in re-
porting the oleo bill unfavorably had done
great wrong.
''They did it, too," he added emphati-
cally, latter we submitted to them the
chemical analysis of number of samples to
show that oleomargarine contains no dele
terious substances, and is ten times bet
ter than rancid butter"
Representative Graham said that the
action of the committee was no surprise to
him. He would be glad to vote for such a
bill if he had had an opportunity.

The Contractors Kick Against Abandoning

The Contractors Kick Against Abandoning
the Project.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-On the lst inst
Major Lydecker, engineer in charge of the con-
struction of the Washington aqueduct tunnel,
notified Beckwith& Quackenbush the Govern
ment contractors, that as the examination of
defective work in the Washington aqueduct
tunnel has been completed the United States
has now no further reason to continue pump
ing operations in connection with this work.
and that all payment on account of pumping
would cease from that date. In reply thereto
Beckwith Quaekenbush have written Major
Lydecker accepting his letter as q notification
that further prosecution of work upon the
tunnel has been abandoned by the Govern
ment, at the same time stating their position
in the premises. After reviewing the history
of the several contracts and sub-contracts the
letter concludes:
"We now formally protest against the visiting
upon us of the defects Inherent in the tunnel
scheme.
I'VE notify you of our readiness to make good
any defects in the execution of our work done
subsequent to December D 1887; also we notify
you OF our readiness to make good any defects
in the execution of our work prior to that date,
If you will agree to reserve for legal decision
the question of our liability for such work. II
you are unable to accept this proposition, then
we propose that you deduct from the sum due
us such sum as 1t would cost us to make good
such repairs under the same conditions, this
sum to be liked by agreement or arbitration.
Unless we shall be advised within ten days of
your acceptance Of either of these propositions,
we shall instruct our attorney to begin proceed
ings in the Court of Claims to recover the
money due us by the United States in the
premises"

A MONEY TILL ROBBED.
One Fellow Engages the Shop Keeper While
Another Does the Job.


Another Does the Job.
A very neat and bold robbery was made
in T. M. McNellis' grocery store at No.
1719 Penn avenue yesterday afternoon. At
4 o'clock boy, probably Is years of age,
entered and purchased a few tobies. Imme-
diately after the boy left the store two
young men entered, and one engaged Mrs.
McNellis in few purchases at the rear of
the store, while the other man remained in
the fore part of the shop. Both men left
soon, and Mrs. McNellis, upon going be-
hind the counter near the front door, found
the money till upon the floor with nothing
in it.
Mrs. McNellis stated that the following
amounts of money were taken: Thirty dol
lars in bills, S22 60 in silver, package
containing S33 10 belonging to Mrs Kirk,
which was given for safe keeping, and tax
receipt of Mrs. Anna Cook, of Eighteenth

A BIG MIX.
The Railroad Coal Operators TO Fix Prices

The Railroad Coal Operators TO Fix Prices
and Wages as They Please.
The failure of the Interstate miners and
operators convention, at Columbus, to settle
price for mining may cause trouble. All
the Pittsburg operators who attended the
meeting returned yesterday, but have moth
ing to say. The disagreement means a cut
ting of rates for coal, and also a cutting of
prices. All efforts to amalgamate the Ma
tiOnal Progressive Union with the knights
of Labor failed, and now every operator will
arrange his own prices and wages.
The miners are making another effort to
arrange for the establishment of a uniform
scale, but it may not succeed. The operators
do not seem anxious to hold another confer
ence, but say they will meet the workers If
they will agree on fair scale of wages for
the different States that have been embraced
in the last agreement.

the deal was declared off,
