Tint 10 the Charge Made Against Police
man by a Man Whom He shot-Stories
of Both sides-A Bad Case.
Officers Shawl and Singer had an ex-
citing time with several men whom they
were attempting 10 arrest yesterday after
noon. The former officer shot at a man and
struck him below the hip. The wound is a
a painful though not q fatal one; but
the bullet could not be extracted. Officer
Singer, it is alleged, clubbed his prisoner
into submission.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon the
attention of the Ulcers was attracted to
James Britton anu Peter Mcclure, who
were annoying pedestrians in the neighbor-
hood of 292 Second avenue. The former had
a toy Flobert rifle, like those given away
with purchases in some of the stores. Officer
Shawl threatened to arrest him if he did not
put up the toy; but the man paid no atten-
ton to him. Shawl then laid hold of Brit
ton, when scuffle ensued, in which the lat
ter secured the officers mace. According to
the stories ofbystanders, Britton started torun
across the street, when the officer called to him
to stop. The request was unheeded; the
policeman drew his revolver and fred, the
bystanders say, three times. The first took
effect in Britton's hip, the second struck a
bystander on the top of the left ear, and the
third went in the air. The man struck on
the ear is a Welshman, and resides on the
Southside. He left word at the scene of the
shooting that he would be at the hearing
this morning to testify.
At the Central station several officials
denied that there had been any shooting at
all, though charge was made to Inspector
McAleese that Shawl was under the in1u-
ence of liquor when he shot,
Upon being shot, Britton was removed to
his home in the rear of 292 Second avenue,
where two physicians probed for the bullet,
but could not find it. The Homeopathic
Hospital ambulance was sent after the man;
but his family objected to his removal. His
father, it is claimed, is occupying a bed
next to him, in a dying condition.
Britton's brother went before Alderman
O'Donnell last night and swore out a war
rant for Shawl's arrest, charging him with
felonious assault Inspector McAleese went
bail for the officer, and he was not locked
up.
Pete Mcclure. who was beaten by officer
Singer, is well known character, and lives
near the spot where arrested. He was
frenzied by one of the officers calling him a
thief, and saying he had always been thief
At this the prisoner refused to go.
Officer Shawl denies the statement of the
bystanders and said:
81 went up to Britton and told him to
put away the gun he was swapping at peo-
pie. He refused to do it, and said no police
man could arrest him. 1 told him if he
tried any crooked work would shoot him,
intending to scare him. He replied, 'Oh,
can shoot as quick as you.' At the same
time he put his right hand back to his hip,
and, thinking he was going to shoot me, 1
fired at him. The bullet hit him in the leg,
and made only flesh wound"

WARRING STREET RAILWAYS.
The Pleasant Valley and the Transverse
People Taking a Round.

The Pleasant Valley and the Transverse
People Taking a Round.
Once more the Pleasant Valley Street
Railway Company looms to the front in a
quarrel with another road. This time they
are reported to be at loggerheads with the
Transverse line.
Some time ago the Pleasant Valley began
laying tracks along Duquesne way from the
Ninth toward the Seventh street bridge.
Friday night work was completed on a
switch connecting the Pleasant Valley lines
with the tracks of the Transverse on Seventh
street. Hereafter the Pleasant Valley cars
will travel from Ninth street and Duquesne
way, along the latter thoroughfare, to Sew
enth street, to Sixth avenue, to Smithfeld,
Fifth avenue, back down Smithfeld to Sew
enth avenue, to Liberty street and Ninth
street.
The Transverse Company are very indig-
nant over what they term hypocriticsl in
fringement on their rights. Legal redress
will probably be sought. 1t is said that the
tracks on which the Pleasant Valley cars
will run from the corner of Smithfeld street
and Sixth avenue, to the south end of
Seventh street bridge are owned by the
Transverse Company and that the former
company only pay a yearly rental for the
use of them. 1t is also stated that the
Pleasant Valley company has no legal right
whatever to utilize Duquesne way.

but were easy to control until Just before
boarding the train. They then attempted to
escape, and very nearly succeeded as the
guard was not large.
Another correspondent from Scottdale
gives an account of the trouble at Meyer
and the Morgan works as he obtained 1t.
His telegram follows:
From information lust received, which is be-
Geved reliable, the following is correct state
ment of the trouble as far as can be learned:
The Hungarians at Meyer Works, of W. ].
Rainey, heard that the Fort Hill Works, OF the
same company, were working. ana they started
in a body to take them out, not having under
stood that the strike was settled on their route.
When they came to the Morgan plant of the
81. e. Frick Coke Company where the men had
resumed work, the men of the Morgan works
as soon as they discovered them approaching
fled in fright. Some of the men. it is reported,
were roughly handled, and the sheriff was
wired for. He arrived on the scene this after
noon and the informant states was industrious
ly engaged in searching the soup house. some
what notorious resort for Huns at Sherricks
station for the offenders. but the reports OF his
being routed with his force and badly beaten

From what can be learned the report of riot
at Mover station arose from the fact of the
township constable attempting to arrest some
Huns for alleged liquor selling at that place.
and was roughly handled, but this had no CON-
nection with the strike.
A large meeting of the Standard miners was
held at Mt. Pleasant to-day. Resolutions were
passed condemning the riotous actions of the
Huns at Bessemer and Alice yesterday, and
they voted to a man to resume work on Mon
day morning. The Central employers also
held q like meeting, and took this
same action. Applications have been re-
ceived by the organizers of the X.
of l. here to organize over 80 new assemblies
of the order in the coke region, but according
to the laws of the order it cannot be done while
any trouble exists at any works in the region.
1t is safe to predict an increase of 1000 men,
bers to National Trades Assembly lbs in the
next 60 days.

Carrie Furnace Strikers Are Quite Peace.
able Now-The True Story of Fridays
Disturbance.
A trip was made to Heating station on
the B. & o. line yesterday evening to as
certain the tru ue state of affairs at the Car
rie furnace. There was no sign of disturb
ance in the neighborhood, and the deputy
sheriffs were smoking on the porch of their
shanty. They reported a complete cessa-
tion of hostilities. The affair has resolved
itself into an ordinary strike, and as soon
as the men get their price they will go to
work again.
Several OF the men were seen, and all at
tackled the sub-sheriffs bitterly, blaming
them for Fridays disturbance. It is said
that when the names of the rioters were
called, each man stepped forward without
hesitation and gave himself up; but oulv
on the strict understanding that he was to
be tried in his own township, the officers
agreeing to bring them before Squire
Laury, who lives on the outskirts of Brad
dock. When the party reached the 'SQuire's
office the officers asked the men to 90
up to Braddock and have drink. They
proceeded to saloon and there the men got
into a semi-intoXicated condition, the Of
ficers paying for everything that was drank,
and encouraging the prisoners to drink.
Then they announced their real intentions,
and brought the men to the railway station.
Some lookers-on cried out to the prisoners
that they were being bamboozled. The ,ris-
oners, considering themselves aggrieyed,
made an attempt to get free. Hence the
riot. s.. a
The house of George Morrison, near
Squire Laury's, where several of the pris-
oners boarded, was visited. Mr.. Morrison
says he offered to bail two of the prisoners
day before yesterday, but was refused. He
then journeyed to Pittsburg,. where he re-
newed his offer yesterday morning and was
again refused. He claims an at
tempt wss made to implicate him in
the riot, and a warrant was drawn
up for his arrest He, however, beat q re-
treat. The men complain of the sensational
stories published in the evening papers
about their hostile intentions. No one was
prevented from going near the furnace,
though some were questioned as to their
business in civil manner.

HOTEL BEATS.
A ST. Louis Man Does Up the Mon. House
for Few Days Board.

St. Louis Man Does Up the Mon. House
for n Few Days Board.
One OF the clerks of the Monongahela
House, with disguised look on his face,
leaned over the counter yesterday and re-
marked to reporter that fellow from St.
Louis had beaten the hotel for few days >
board.
''Such a thing" he continued, seldom
happens, but when it does it always makes
me feel mean to think that 1 would allow a
man to work the house. 1t doesn't pay to
beat hotel. Descriptions of such men are
sent around to all the houses, and the clerks
keep q sharp lookout for them.'
When he had expressed his candid opinion
of dead beats, the clerk said: "It is sur
'prising how often a guest will ask what
time train leaves. He will never inquire
of the same clerk twice, but if there are ten
of them behind desk as a general rule he
will ask everyone of them. 1 suppose peo-
pie are anxious to get away, and are afraid
of having any mistakes made. They are
not satisfied with the statement of one or
two men, but if they can get half dozen
people to confirm it they finally come to be-
lieve that the first clerk who told them the
train would leave at o'clock in the after
noon was right"

A LIVELY SKIRMISH.
Patton Embezzled S1,3SO.17 From the
Sovereigns of Industry.


Probably the iveliest meeting in the
history of the Grand Council of the indie
pendent Sovereigns of Industry was held
last evening in the Moorhead Building,
Second avenue and Gran. street. The at
tendance was large and there was a con-
tinual fight from the beginning to the end Of
the session.
The fight started over the representatives
OF Southside Council No. and Economy
Council No. 13. The officers of these
councils had not been installed by the
Grand President, and he decided that their
representatives were not entitled to vote in
the grand body. He admitted that Econo-
my Council had notified him when their
officers were elected, but he forgot to attend
the neeting to install them. He claimed
Southside Council had not notified him.
The fight was long and warm, as the law
does not provide that the Grand President
shall be notified. The representatives were
allowed to remain.
The next fight was q short one, and re-
suited in an indefinite postponement of the
consideration of the proposed new general
law, which was claimed to have been pre-
sented in the interest Of the grand officers.
The Grand Secretary, D. B. Wood, re-
signed his Office, and Samuel Harper was
elected to fill the unexpired term. William
Anschutz was elected Grand Treasurer in
place of j. W. Patton. who mysteriously
disappeared about two months ago.
A board of seven Grand Trustees was
elected and the bonds of the Grand Secretary
and Treasurer were fixed at 81 900 and 81, 900
respectively. The Grand Secretary's report
for the last quarter shows total member
ship of 1858, an increase of 553, with coun-
ellis to hear from. The financial report
shows that the amount taken by Grand
Treasurer Patton was 81, $50 IL. The re-
ceipts for the lastquarter were 1904 43. The
check for $500 voted for the Johnstown
sufferers, which remains unpaid owing to
the embezzling of the funds by Grand Treas
urer Patton, will be made good.

NO CHINESE WALL AFFAIR.

Non-Residcnt Exhibitors Got an Early
Chance ut the Exposition-A Branch
Postofice Scheme.
Manager Johnston yesterday made some
pointed remarks about the Exposition and
those who desire space. He said the
directors, in the inception of the enterprise,
determined to administer in a liberal say.
They sent blank forms all over the coun-
try to manufacturers, inviting them to
exhibit their products here.
''This," said Mr.. Johnston, sis not an
enterprise exclusively for the people of the
city; they cannot expect we can build a
Chinese wall to exclude strangers. The de-
mand for space already greatly exceeds the
supply, and we shall have, very reluctantly,
to refuse large number who desire to ex-
hibit.
A novel feature of the exhibition will be
a model postoffice, to be exhibited by the
Yale Lock Company, of Stamford, Conn.
Postmaster Larkin has been consulted with
regard to making it branch, and it is pre-
sumed fully equipped postofice will be in
the Exposition building.

THE SNAKE AND THE SLEEPER.
A Postoffice Messenger, Wears a Scnr and

A messenger in the Allegheny Postofice

Gated snake story-genuine because the boy
has the snake-bite to show. Torrance Ky
feldt, one of the special delivery boys, was
given 15-day vacation last Monday, which
he proceeded to enjoy at Latrobe. While
reclining in the grass, half asleep, Tor
rance felt savage bite on his face, Just be-
low the left ear. Springing up he saw a
black-snake in the grass near him. Like
any well-regulated messenger boy, Tor
rance travels with pistol. Hastily pull
ing it out, he fired at his snakeship. The
shot infuriated the "pesky varmint, {" and
he wriggled toward Torrance, who fred

ness.
Mr.. Snake measured six feet long, which
is doing pretty well for an ordinary every
day black-snake. The boy rushed to local
doctor, who applied remedies which averted

youngster is now nursing his bite at his

AS AN EDUCATOR.
The Sisters of Mercy Adopt the Phonogruph
In Their school-nistakes Made GIarins

The Sisters of Mercy Adopt the Phonogruph
"A Johnssown Statue.
A party Of Pittsburgers left yesterday
morning for st. Joseph's Academy at Seton
Hill, near Greensburg. The party had been
invited by the superioress of the academy,
which is conducted by the Sisters of Mercy,
to witness test of the photograph in edu-
cational work.
The party listened only to thetest by three
members of the reading class who are spend
ing their vacation in the academy. Each
boy read into the receiver some choice selec-
tien, and then their utterances were in turn
ground out. The boys readily discovered
the mistakes they had made. One boy tried
to repudiate a rendition, but the record beat
him. He would not believe that he had
read the stuff in the manner ground out
until he was convinced by the bystanders.
Sister Inez conducted the test. This is
the lady whose ability in an examination
for teachers certificate was so marked that
Superintendent Luckey highly compli-
mented her.
The Sisters propose to use the photograph
in elocution; music, both vocal and instru-
mental; singing, and extempore speaking.
The phonograph seemed to magnify defects,
so much SO that where perfection and
beauty passed almost unnoticed, the defects
became glaring. 1t will be study to the
acoustic sharp to explain why one does not
recognize his own voice and unmercifully
criticises it as it comes from the phono-
graph. 1t is said to be due to the loss of
certain harmonies in the photograph.
The visitors spent a few moments in ex-
amining the academy buildings and grounds.
The academy proper is massive brick
building, and is undoubtedly the most
handsome structure in Westmoreland
county. Handsome statues, donated by
Fathers G. G. Grace and James Cosgrave,
adorn the ground. In the art gallery is the
statue which was saved from the Sisters
building in Johnstown, when the flood came
upon them. There are also a number of
pictures in the gallery, which had been,
painted by Johnstown pupils who went
down in the flood.

FAVORABLE TOs ANNEXATION.
A Portion of Canada Which Highly Honored
a Pittsburg Lawyer.

William A. Golden, ESQ.,, of the Pitts
burg bar, International Secretary of the
Emerald Beneficial and Literary Associa-
tion, returned home yesterday from nearly
a weeks sojourn with his family in North
western New York and the Ontario penin-
sula.
On Tuesday last he was the honored
guest of the Canadian department of his
order in a monster street demonstration and
reunion of its Dominion branches and their
friends at Merritton, adjoining st. Cath
arine's, which was participated in by q
dozen of the most prominent clergymen of
the Toronto archdiocese, including Very
Rev. F. P. Rooney, rector of st. Mary's
Church, and Very Rev. j. M. Laurent,
rector of st. Michael's Cathedral, that city,
administrators of the vacant See; Very Rev.
Dean w. R. Harris, of st. Catharine's;
Rev. Pierre Gagnon, of the faculty of the
University of Ottawa; Rev. L. A. H. Al
lain, of Merritton, and the CarmeIite
Fathers Anastasius Kreutz, Dominic
O'Meaghlira and Paul Ryan, we'll known in
this city.
Mr.. Golden found quite a general incli-
nation among the people of that section of
the Dominion toward political annexation
with the United States
