THERE Is NO WAR.
The Report That Catholics VIII Leave the
X. of l.. Pronounced to be False.

The Report That Catholics VIII Leave the
X. of l.. Pronounced to be False.
There is great indignation among men,
bers of D. A. 8, X. of L., over the pub
lication in morning paper of a statement
that the Catholics are about to withdraw
from the order and the revival of the chest
nut that religious war is being waged in
the district. The fact that l. N. Ross, a
Protestant, defeated John F. Doyle, a
Catholic, for the Master Workmanship, and
o. A. Williams defeated James Hooper for
Worthy Foreman, evidently gave rise to
the report. This statement is positively
and emphatically denied by every member
of the district, both Catholic and Protestant,
who was seen yesterday.
Mr.. James Hooper, if anyone, should be
the first to Withdraw from the district, as he
is Catholic. If anyone has cause to feel
offended at the treatment Of the district,
Mr.. Hooper has. He was candidate for
the Office of Master Workman, and upon
being defeated was proposed for reelection
to the position of Worthy Foreman, but
was defeated again; and yet Mr.. Hooper has
no intention of leaving the order.
''The talk of a religious war;" said Mr..
Hooper to a DISPATCH reporter, 'is
ridiculous. Religion did not enter into the
election at all and did not hear the sub
ject mentioned during the district meet
ing"
Master Workman Ross and other MEM
bers OF the district pronounced the state
ment a fake, and said there is every indi-
cation Of big increase in membership be-
fore the next quarterly meeting.

PRO AND AUTHORIZATION.
A Minister Argues Both Sides, With His
Judgment for the Former-sous Of Tenn
nerouce Addressed Very Plainly.

At the constitutional amendment meeting
held yesterday afternoon in the Moorhead
building, under the auspices of the Sons of
Temperance, the Rev. Mr.. Hughes opened
with prayer and Mrs. Jones was elected
Chairman of the meeting.
After music by the choir the Rev. ]. B.
Koehne was introduced, who laid out line
of argument that was certainly original.
He first acknowledged that the amend
ment movement was too serious a thing
to be trifed with, and a Constitution that
has borne the test of years must be good
institution. He also said the movement
was an experiment that had been tested in
other States, and had not been as yet pro-
nounced an entire success. The people who
were trying to secure an amendment were
prejudiced from beginning to end; millions
of dollars were involved, and vet they pro-
posed to abolish this thriving business and
take the bread from the mouths of the
liquor dealers and their families. 1t had
been tested and found wanting, as it was
clearly seen that people would drink and
submit question that had proven failure,
anu might prove d III L
He then took the opposite side of the ques-
tion, and met each of his arguments and state
ments by equally clinchIng arguments that,
be said, justified them in their course. He
said a thing of long standing was not neces-
sarily a good thing, else the Jewish religion
would be permanent, and slavery would
still flourish. The prohibition movement
is an experiment. because everything is an
experiment; even child is but living
theory of man.
He thought it was unreasonable to license
man to sell poison, and that
they were justified in their bitter
prejudice against it. 1t was true
that business would be injured but place a
saloon in one balance, and a sacred home in
the other, and let God, not man, judge the
scale, and who would be found wanting?
He closed with the old, but good, story of
Dan voorhees,, who paralyzed meeting of
grain-growing Indiana farmers with the
question: eff liquor is abolished, what will
you do with your corn?" and plain granger
arose and quantity yremarked that they could
'traise more hogs and less hell"

FROM BLOOD POISONING.
A Prominent Hiberninn Dead From the Re.
suit of Being Run Over.

A Prominent Hiberninn Dead From the Re-
suit of Being Run Over.
John Mccormick, a well-known resident
of the West End and one of the most prom
inent Hibernians in the county, died Satur-
day night at his home, on Main street, from
the result of injuries received by being run
over by street car.
The accident occurred one night about
two weeks ago, when Mccormick was going
home from his work. He stepped off the
front end of the car while the latter was in
motion. BY some means his foot slipped
and fell under the wheels Before he could
withdraw it the wheels of the car passed
over the foot, badly mangling and bruising
it. The attending physician wanted to have
the member amputated, but Mccormick
would not consent to this, thinking that the
wounds would heal up.
A few days afterward blood poisoning set
in. His foot and leg swelled to twice their
natural size, and the man grew worse and
wosre until saturday evening, when he died
The different Hibernian lodges of the coun-
ty will attend his funeral to-day. The de-
ceased was a heater in Painter & Sons
mill.

A BOLD, BAD MAN.
The Man Who Did the Murder o Barterer of
His Dead Mothers Portrait and a Victim
of Violent Pa assions.

The Man Who Did the Murder Bnrterer of
His Dead Mothers Portrait and Victim
of Violent Passions.
As the details of the butchery of Slater
are brought to light the tale of debauchery
and crime, resulting in murder, becomes
even more horrible than first reported. Last
evening a DISPATCH reporter visited the
late home of Thomas Hollaway, the
man who slashed his friends head
almost off with one swoop of the knife.
Hollaway had left the house last Thursday
in drunken frenzy, after abusing his wife
and selling all their effects for drink. Mrs.
Hollaway stated to the reporter that her
husband had hardly drawn sober breath
for two years, and had repeatedly beaten
and kicked her until, last week, she sought
refuge at her daughters, living on Twenty
eighth street, only to learn that her husband
was about to sell the furniture and
despoil her home. Rushing home Thurs
day, she found her husband preparing to
sell everything in the house to second
hand store on Penn avenue.
The neighbors interfered, and he finally
consented to sell but half This he did, in
Guiding the stove, his dead mothers portrait
and hymn book; and he would have sold the
Bible, had it not been grabbed by one OF
his children. Thus he left his wife and
four children without even the means to
warm their bodies. For the effects sold be
received SS. and, taking an extra shirt un-
der his arm, rushed forth, ultimately to a
homicide's cell. Before he left home he
fourished hatchet and raved, but saved
the more brutal scene for other eyes.
He had been working turns at Carnegie
& Phipps' Twenty-ninth Street Mill, and,
it is supposed, obtained work at Long &
Co.'s mill at McKee's Rocks after leaving
home.
The neighbor's Joined Mrs. Hollaway in
testifying to his brutality, and, strange to
say, the wife and mother OF his children did
not bewail the doom which seems now to
hang over him.
His Oldest son, young man of II, was
sitting at friends yesterday morning, when
he read The DIsPATCH'S account of the
horrible tragedy, and, as he glanced at the
page the second time, he threw up his
hands, exclaiming:
"My Godi it was father who did It'll"
The other son is boy of about 9, and the
remaining two children bright girls Of 8
and IA years, besides three married daugh-
ters.
Mrs. Hollaway says she had once applied
for divorce before coming to Pittsburg,
but "made up" with her husband because
of having no other means Of support; and
that through all his beating, she had not
had him arrested, though he had beaten her
in the breast with his fists until she was
black and blue.

Controller Morrow Points Out Sweeping
Advantages Which Street Railways

Controller Morrow Points Out Sweeping
Advantages Which Street Railways
Seek 10 Gain by Bill.
''I think there are several phases Of that
Laferty street railway bill that will bear
watching and very exhaustive amendment" :"
said Controller Morrow to DISPATCH re-
porter. 'That anti-parallel clause looks
iniquitous to me, but there are other clauses
that hardly think would be wanted by the
citizens Of Pittsburg, if the full purport OF
them could be caught at once.
For example, if the Laferty bill be-
comes law, it's good-by not only to the
now legalized revenue which the city gets
from few of the roads-something like
81, 600 year, believe-but to several other
requirements, worth in the aggregate many
thousands of dollars to Pittsburg every year.

what mean: At present every passenger

on either side. In some instances the fran

pass, clear from curb to curb.
'In the latter classification is the Cntral
Passenger Railway Company (now the Gem
tral Traction Company, running up Wylie
and Webster avenues. The company was
not prosperous, and was therefore absolved
from this sweeping provision for period of
five years. In two years more, however, if
the laws are unchanged. the wealthy trac-
tion company that is to run its line up that
route, will be held rigidly to that require

''It seems to me some of these matters are
quite to be overlooked. Why amend the

the citizens generally will be-"

LOOKING INTO THE BUNk0.
Aldrich's Lawyer Says He Can't be Extra
d;ted apd Robberv Can't he Proven

AIdrich's Lawyer Says He Can't be Extra.
dited, and Robbery Can't be Proven.
Attorney J. w. Hanna, of Windsor,
Canada, is here to look into the case of Al
drich. the reputed bunko man, by whom he
is retained.
Mr.. Hanna says that the question of the
Aldrich extradition may become national
affair, since he has been charged with rob-
berry instead of bunko, the latter being nom
extraditable, and that they cannot hold him
for robbery.
He says also that Aldrich is poor man,
not worth s., 900, though his father is Mayor
of Stralford, Kan. His client, he thinks,
was probably guilty of some little affair and
went to Canada, where he was arrested be-
cause he was known to the detectives, but
that they can prove he was 1000 miles away
from Pittsburg when Mr.. Lemon was bun
koed out of SIC, 900.
On the Oath Mr.. Lemon will appear
against Aldrich in Windsor, when it will
be ascertained whether he can be brought
here or not. Mr.. Hanna says they cannot
bring him over here for bunko, and will, if
necessary, summon witnesses to prove it was
not robbery.
Aldrich claims to be contractor, and is
rather pleasant-appearing person, as is
also his wife, who clings to her husband and
claims his innocence.

The sermon was short, but full of pathos
and regret at parting with the people OF the
parish with whom he had labored for 15years.
So much was the case, indeed, that, at the
Bishops own request, the sermon is not
given in full, the Bishop having stated that
il was but parting with his people, and as
such, he did not want it made public. AS
the text implies, the sermon was one OF true
feeling between pastor and people, such as
studied eloquence cannot portray.
He stated. that he commenced his pastorate
with the church April 26, 1874, finding then
only rs communicates. half dozen teach
ers and 25 or 80 scholars. Since that time
451 have been confirmed, 113 married, 312
buried and the amount of money offerings
has been nearly 100000. The present fig
ures are: $50 communicants, 80 Sunday
school officers and teachers, 800 Sunday
school scholars and an annual money offer
ing of nearly $40, 900. The whole pastorate
of Is years has been devoid of friction or
lack of harmony between high and low
churchmen or pastor and people.
The Bishop will leave for his new field of
duty on Wednesday, and will probably
make his headquarters at Cincinnati.

ALLEGHENY POLITICIANS PUZZLED.
A Startling Report That It VIII be Neces-
sary 10 Elect Another Mayor Next Month

A Startling Report That 1t VIII be Neces-
sary TO Elect Another Mayor Next Month
Causes Stir.
For several days past Allegheny politi-
clans have been quietly discussing q very
important question, and all of them seem to
be at sea. In the decision of the Supreme
Court declaring the acts under which Coun-
cilmen were elected to be unconstitutional
nothing was said about the Mayor. Every
seat in Council is to be filled at the election
next month, although some of them were
elected for period of four years and have
only served two. The Mayor was elected
for three years and his term Of Office will
not expire until April 1, 1890. If the act
or charter under which he was elected is
also unconstitutional it will be necessary to
choose another Mayor next month.
This is the subject that is now bothering
the friends of the different candidates. A
friend of ex-Mayor James G. Wyman, who
is candidate for reelection, said yesterday:
The politicians who favor other persons for
the office are trying to Keep this matter quiet
as Wyman has the ground thoroughly covered
and can easily be elected If an election is held
next mO0CD. lie IrleDQS OF the OLueT cduul-
dates want another year to work.
Mr.. Wyman was seen yesterday and said
he did not care whether the election was
tomorrow or next year; he is confident Of
election.
The other candidates are VIM. Bader,
James P. Gregg and Charles Gever. Mr..
Bader could not be seen yesterday, but sew
eral of his friends said they were ready to
go into an election at any time, with good
prospects of success.
Several politicians and city officers were
seen yesterday, including P. Walter, Jr.,
Superintendent of Gas Hunter, Chief of the
Fire Department Grow, City Assessor Hetzel
and others. They had nothing to say on the
subject, except that they did not think it
would be necessary to elect a new Mayor
next month.
Hon. George Shiras I'LL, member of the
Legislature from Allegheny, was also seen,
and said: 81 do not know anything about
it. I am looking for information myself"
Ex-City Solicitor Rodgers, who is we'll
posted on municipal affairs, said positively
that Mayor Pearson was elected for term
of three years under the city charter granted
in 1870.
"If Allegheny is made a city of the
second class, will it not be governed by the
Pittsburg charter, and the one granted in
1870 be declared void?" was asked.
''Not necessarily" said Mr.. Rodgers, "as
the Plttsburg charter does not conflict with
Allegheny's charter, as far as the term of
the Mayor is concerned"
