NOT A SECOND PLACE MAN.
Major Montoorh Will be Governor or Con.
Time to Practice Law.

Major Montooth Will be Governor or Con-
time to Practice Law.
Plttsburg Republicans are disposed to
laugh at the telegram from Philadelphia
that Major Montooth is being talked of
there Tor Lieutenant Governor, and that the
Major is willing to accept second place.
They say it is simply ruse by the Delam a.
ter literary bureau, intended to catch some
OF the Majors delegates.
Major Montooth was visited yesterday at
his home on the Cliff. His attention being
called to the Philadelphis dispatch in this
paper of yesterday, he said: 81 am can
didate for Governor, and not Tor Lieutenant
Governor. The Philadelphia telegram was
sent out without any authority from me
whatever, and is entirely without founda-
tioE. propose either to get the nomination
for Governor of Pennsylvania or to con-
tinue my practice of the law"
Private kilograms received in this city
yesterday said that the friends of Montooth
would have three-fourths of the delegates
in the Fayette county convention. This
means three more State delegates for the
Pittsburg candidate. The delegates from
Fayette will probably be Messrs. Living
stone, Binns and Lloyd johnson. The con-
vention will be held at UniontnwL to-day.
Moutooth will have two delegates in Somer-
set county, and is confident OF one from Jeher-
son, where the primaries will be held next
Saturday. This will give him SO votes on
the first ballot.

TROUBLE AT A FIRE.
A Police Officer Suspended for Using His
Mace Too Freely.

A Police Omcer Suspended for Using His
n1ace Too Freely.
Officer James Glenn was suspended yes
terday, pending an investigation into his
conduct at the fire on Market street, Satur-
day night. Ed Woods was "a spectator Of
the fire, and the officer knocked him down
with club, and then arrested him for dis
orderly conduct. Woods put up forfeit
for hearing on Tuesday, and preferred
charges against the officer. Officer Glenn
states that Woods, with some other men.
were pushing and crowding up to the fire.
lines, and that when he demonstrated
Woods used abusive language. He threat
ened to arrest Woods, when the latter made
a motion to draw revolver, and the officer
felled him with his mace.
Constable Treacy, OF the First ward, was
also arrested at the fire. He insisted that
he had right inside the fire lines on ac-
count of his-ofice, and Captain Silvis or
dered his arrest. Treacv protested at the
Central station, but put up forfeit, which
he failed to call Tor yesterday morning.
Other persons have complained that they
were harshly treated by the officers, and the
whole matter will be investigated at the
meeting of the Board of Inspectors to-day.
Inspector McAleese stated last evening that
ne was at the fire, and was convinced that the
officers in most cases performed only their
duty. There were q number OF toughs
present, and the crowd was very unruly.

A SUMNER NIGHTS STORM

Stops the Cable Cars and the Pn..errer.
Have to bo Carried Through the Flood
by siaIwart Police-ConsiderabieO Other
Damage Done.
A sudden rise occurred in the Allegheny
river last night. Millvae borough was
partially flooded in consequence, and most
of the new curbstones laid down were swept
away. Graft Bennett & Co.'s mill was
flooded, but no very great damage was done.
The rain storm also flooded the Pennsyl.
vania Railroad tracks at Braddock, and the
limited express was delayed about half an
hour. Finally the water ran of, leaving
the tracks in good condition.
The rains had bad effect on the traction
roads of Pittsburg, delaying traffic for over
two hours. On the Citizens line there was
considerable trouble at the corner of Thir-
tieth street and Penn avenue, where there is
q heavy drainage from the hillside. Last
night the sewers became clogged, and a
regular river was soon formed. Three cars
could not get through, and were compelled
TO stop in midwater. The water rose
to the height of four feet, and the passen-
gers were obliged to stand on the seats.
Finally the Twelfth ward police wagon
came to the rescue, and landed the passen-
gers high and dry.
Many cellars along Penn avenue were
flooded, although very little damage was
done.
On the Pittsburg Traction line there was
trouble at Washington and Roup streets.
AT Roup street there was small landslide
from the hill, which occasioned great deal
of work.

KNOCKING OUT THE FARMER.
How the Introduction of Rapid Transit Cur
Iails the Grnnger's Market.

How the Introduction Of Rapid Transit Cur.
Iails the Grnnger's Market.
Messrs. George 1. Whitney, L. Halsey
Williams and James Marshall, yesterday,
in discussing the original package question
stirred up new question, relative to farm
ers' grievances. While the home market
for butter may be destroyed by the making
of oleomargarine, and the home market
for rye be destroyed by whisky sold in
original packages and made of Illinois
and Kentucky corn, there is another griev-
ance that has not yet been touched upon.
The substitution of electric and steam power
for that of horses in this city does away with
the use of ], 200 horses. AS the lie of q
street car horse is but three years on an
average, this represents the loss in this city
alone of market for 400 horses
q year. at the low price OF 500 head,
this curtails farmers income $40, 900 a year.
These 1000 horses consume, of oats or its
equivalent, 146, 900 bushels OF oats in year,
worth $48, ,666, and 2, 100 tons of hay, worth
$29, 400, and the farmers home market is
thus curtailed in this city alone, to the ex-
tent oil $118. .066 year.
While the change will doubtless develop
new outlets for the expenditure of energy,
it is evident that each stride of scientific ap-
plication causes curtailment of revenue in
some quarter, and the industrial classes suf-
fer from time to time, while learning to
adapt themselves to new conditions, almost
as much as the goldfish does while the
water in his vase is being changed.

SICK AND WITHOUT FOOD.
Sad Case of Destitution Discovered In Null
berry Alley by a Physician.

Sad Case of Destitution Discovered In Null
berry Alley by Physician.
A pitiful case of extreme destitution was
discovered on Saturday night by DR.. R. M.
Sands in Mulberry alley, near Twenty
eighth street. He received notice to call at
the house of Mrs. Mary Martina, Polish
widow, whose children required medical at
tention. The physician is not easily startled,
but in this instance he was absolutely
dumfounded that such case could exist
for even day without becoming known.
He found that the family required aid.
not alone from physician, but from every
one who believes that human life is worth
saving. In little room in Mulberry alley
he discovered Mrs. Martina, whose husband
has been dead year, and six young chill
dred. One child lay dead and three others
we're confined to bed, all seriously ill. One
is suffering from measles, another from
pneumonia and the third from Inflammation
Of the stomach. The dead child had expired
OIL Saturday, but what the cause of its death
was is not known, as it was without medical
attention.
DIR. Sands made the unfortunate family
as comfortable rs possible, and gave Mrs.
Martina charity permit to have her child
buried to-day.

items of cost have advanced in the foreign
markets, fully IL per cent. Under those
circumstances / hardly see how they can
compete for the Minneapolis contract.
Again, the demand in these days is for
structural steel girders, beams and channels,
and in this the American product is super
ior to the cheaper foreign beams, which are
generally filled with flaws. Under a criti-
cal examination their steel would hardly
stand the tests necessary to insure safety and
length of service. If the firm does import
the structural iron, however, it will un-
doubtedly be dangerous blow to American
industries"
When THE DISPATCH reporter spoke of
the sensational offer to a number of the dele
gates to the Amalgamated Association
convention, they were very great
ly surprised, and all seemed in
favor of even a higher protective tariff on
steel and iron structural materials. Dele
gate Charles Killon. of Illinois, who is en-
ployed in structural mill, said:
THE DIFFERENCE IN WAGES.
There are three men employed in the
mill where l work who came from the La
Porte Mills. near Aix-le-Bains. They stated
that the wages paid in the Belgian mills
were nearly 80 per cent lower tnan those
paid in Pittsburg, and even in the present
time of alleged high wages in Belgium, the
advance is not within 25 per cent of the
wages paid here. Under such circumstances
1 am not at all surprised at the offer made.
The cost OF transportation is at minimum
rates across the ocean, as the vessels are
largely subsidized by the Government. Pile
on the tariff, 1 say"
James Mutt, one of the trustees of the
Amalgamated Association, said on the sub
feet: "If the Belgian iron firm is able to
make such a sweeping cut, and pay the
present duty, what will it not be able to do
when the Senate gets through cutting the
Mckinley bill to pieces? 1t is certainly
an astonishing offer. and one which should
engage the attention of the Legislators. The
structural iron and steel manufacturers have
one protection in that for such buildings as
the Minneapolis Court House special sizes
and ang!es are generally required which I
should not think foreign firm could be
able to furnish. However, after what the
Belgian mills did in Texas there can be but
little doubt that the firm is prepared to
undertake the contract"

THEY FOUGHT IT OUT.
Mill Workers Battle on Sunday and Get
Scooped In By the Police. ....

Mill Workers Battle on Sunday and Get
Scooped in By the Police. ...
An impromptu ring fight that resulted in
the arrest OF the principals and a spectator.
took place yesterday afternoon on the Mo-
nongahela river bank in the vicinity of the
Eliza Furnace.
About o'clock when the rays of the sun
we're coming down by the most direct route,
a crowd of Is or 20 of the exponents of the
fstic art, with whom Soho is infested, gath
cred in group on Second avenue, and by
way OF variety, began a discussion on mat
ters pugilistic. Two of the crowd, Mike
Kelly and James Lanaghan, were unable
to agree. The men and the spectators de-
cided that an adjournment to some spot un-
frequented bv the police should be made.
A spot on the river bank, near Eliza Fur
mace, was selected and the fight began. For
20 minutes the brawny mill workers pounded
each other Both were hammered almost
out of recognition.
Officers Wachter and Kratz heard of the
affair and made descent on the mill"
The onlookers regarded the officers appear
ance as an interference. When the officers
seized Kelly and Lanaghan the crowd
seized them, and for time it looked as
though two of the finest police would not
answer the next roll call. They stuck to
their mer, however, and by a little use of
their clubs succeeded in landing the men,
along with John Kent.

RUNNING A WAITING CAMPAIGN.
A Democratic Ticket Not to be Named Until
Some Time in September.

A Democratic Ticket Not to be Named UntIl
Some Time in September.
HIT Watson, Chairman of the Demo-
cratic County Committee, will to-day issue
the call for some OF the local conventions.
The primaries will be held next Saturday
afternoon and the conventions on the follow
ing Tuesday. 1t has been decided to call pri-
maries to elect delegates only to the County
Convention and to the Legislative District
Conventions to elect delegates to the State
Convention. The regular Congressional,
Senatorial and Legislative conventions will
not be held until September. The Demo
cratic leaders desire to wait until they see
the outcome of the Republican contests in
the Twenty-thIrd Congressional and Forty
second Senatorial districts.
In the Third and Fourth Legislative
districts only Wallace men have
announced their candidacy for dele
gates to the State Convention. The
candidates in the Third district are
John Dunn, Jr., of Forbes street, Sixth
ward, and Joseph Stokely, the Seventh
ward druggist. Pattison delegates may be
out this week. In the Fourth district the
delegates will be Alderman John Burns, of
the Tenth ward, and Charles P. Anderson,
of the Fourth ward. No Pattison delegates
will run in that district, as the case is con-
sidered hopeless.

FEW IMMIGRANTS COMING.
The Number Carried by the Pennsylvania
Not Up to the Average.

The Number Carried by the Pennsylvania
Not Up to the Average.
Agent Pitgen, the immigrant man at the
Union depot, thinks his thoughts in many
languages, and when he gets tired
of one he uses another. He spoke
in English yesterday about the
immigrant traffic. The time was when the
Pennsylvania road did thriving business
in carrying new corners into the country,
but this year the number has not been up to
the average. Mr.. Pitgen can't account for
the falling off. The number of Hungarians
and Italians appears to keep up. Some Of
them go farther West, but many of them re-
main in and around Pittsburg.
More than one batch OF these laborers
have been taken up the Allegheny Valley
within the past lew months. They are en-
ployed in grading and making new track.
Mr.. Pitgen claims there is plenty OF room in
America for good immigrants, but he is not
very we'll pleased with the people from
Southern Europe.

A PUDDLER TAKES POISON.

Driven TO Suicide by DrInk-Two Attempts
TO Tnke His Lfe-A Tragic Farewell TO
His FnmiIy-Deafh Relieves His Terrible
snfferiuEs.
Cries OF distress last evening, about Z
o'clock. attracted the attention Of the resi-
dents in the vicinity of Turner alley, hear
Pike street, Allegheny. The neighbors
hurried to the residence of Paul Baufman.
and found him stretched out on the floor,
dead. He had committed suicide by taking
paris green.
For the past week Baufman, who was en-
ployed as puddler in Zug's mill ever since
boy, gave free swing to his appetite for
liquor. Yesterday evening he was in the
house with his wife and five children, and
something in his actions betrayed the fact
that he was secretly disturbed. Suddenly
he began to vomIt violently, and attempted
to conceal the awful cause of his sickness,
but his wife was not to be deceived.
You have poisoned yourselfI" she
gasped.
Her husband sank into a chair, and, draw
ing his little daughter to his side, said:
''This is the last time will ever see you.
Be good girl"
DIR. Schaner was hastily summoned, and
everything was done to alleviate the suffer-
ings of the suicide, but at $50 o'clock Bauf-
man died from the effects of a dose of paris
green administered by himself.
The deceased was about As years old, and
leaves family OF seven children in poor
circumstances. He attempted to poison
himself last Tuesday, but was prevented by
his wife. The Coroner will hold an inquest
to-day

TRIALS OF A BAGGAGE MAN.

Ono Needs More Muscle Than Brains to
Handle Trunks These Days.
"Oh, yes, 1 often get tired" said gray
haired baggage man as he leaned against
his car door at the Union depot last night,
"but suppose hadn't this job, what would
do. have been at the business so long
that am untitled for anything else, and
couldn't handle pick or shovel.
"Are these trunks easily handled? Do 1
have to lift heavy weights? My. how YOU
amuse me. There are modern appliances
to assist men in almost every other
line of work, but what baggage
man needs most is plenty of brute force.
Some OF the pieces weigh as much as 400
pounds, and to unload them at country sta
tions requires some pushing and struggling.
The fellows on the through trains that
make few stops have the best times, except
in wreck, when the stuff usually piles up
on their frames, but that is one of the little
pleasantries of the business, and after your
limbs have been twisted and your back
broken several times you are then thor
oughbred, and the considerate public dub
you baggage smasher."

AS TO THE MESSENGER SERVICE.
The Factory Inspection Law Criticised
Where IL Applies TO the Boys.


Where IL Applies to the Boys.
The enforcement of the factory inspection
law is being criticised in Pittsburg so far as
the child labor section affects messenger
boys There are employed around Pitts
burg, in telegraph and messenger services.
about 1900 boys. Most of them are sons of
poor parents, who cannot afford to do with
out support from their children. The mes
senger service does not entail arduous
physical labor, although the night work
and exposure, it is asserted, affect the
growth and undermine the constitutions of
the boys.
1t was stated at the Western Union tele-
graph Office last night. that an effort is made
to so divide the squads of boys that none
need work more than nine or ten hours, and
that they really should not come under the
restrictions of the Factory Inspection law,
as their work is not similar to the confne-
ment of children who work in mills, factories
and workshops.
The Department Of Public Safety has also
interested itself in the preservation of the
morals of the messenger boys, by prohibit
ing their taking messages to places where
boys shouldn't 60.
