BUSINESS DONE ON FAITH.

The Origin of a Suit TO Force a Settlement
How the Affairs of Two Publications
Got Mixed Up-A Queer Sort of Case to
Come Up To-Da
A case comes up before Alderman Nc
Masters to-day which, in some of its features,
is unique. AS it is related, some time since,
when II. W. Juergen was publishing the
Light, which has since gone out without
reference to Moses, j. P. Hanna turned over
to him the printing Of paper called The
Faith of God, edited by Mr.. John Morrow.
a member of the society known as Divine
Healers, or. as some call it, Faith Curers.
The allegations are that the receipts for the
Light fell short, and that Hanna used
money gotten from Morrow to pay for the
publication of TheFaith of God in floating
the Light, and the matter ran along until,
according to the story told, he owed Juer-
gen S216.
A call was made on the latter, and he
said the story was about straight. He said
that Mr.. Morrow's conduct had been uneI-
ceptionable, but he didn't seem to take up
with Mr.. Hanna's business views, and told
a story of Mr.. Hanna's proposing partner
ship in which a matrimonial partnership
was to be part, or it was at least sug-
gested, to aid in setting up printing estab-
lishment worth 81, 900 or S., 900. MIR. Juer-
gen also told of a suggestion to the effect
that he should attend the meetings of the
Divine Healers, in order to enlist their in
terest more fully in the work of pushing
The Faith of God.
.Mr. Juergen did not, it is alleged, fall in
with Mr.. Hanna's views, and during their
contention Mr.. Morrow began to deal di-
rectly with Mr.. Juergen. This led Mr..
Hanna, according to the story, to start a
business in opposition to Mr.. Juergen, and
the outcome was a suit by the latter for the
S216.
Mr.. Juergen says he has had no trouble
with Morrow, and it appears that faith as
newspaper capital was entirely satisfactory
in results-so far as he was concerned, at

LABOR MEN IN DOUBT.
Mr.. Schwartz Says the Carpenters
Have Not Settled About s Hours.
AGITATING POSTAL TELEGRAPHY.
The Strike at divers May Extend to the
Firms other Plants.
WIRE MILLS TO RESUME OPERATIONS.

A. M. Schwartz, special agent of the Car
penters' Council OF this district, called upor
Vice President William Martin, of the Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, yesterday in regard to the
publication OF the statement alleged to have
been made by him that the carpenters Of
this city and Allegheny would not strike foI
the eight-hour day Oh May 1.
Mr.. Schwartz emphatically stated that he
had not furnished the information, and fur
thermore the statement about the matter
being finally settled was positively untrue
and misleading.
The information was published on the as
sumption that Mr.. Schwartz had furnished
the information. AS was stated in the
article, there was an apparent conflict of
opinion between the carpenters here and the
General Secretary of the Brotherhood, P. J.
Mcclure.
NOT POSITIVE ABOUT IT.
A copy of THE DISPATCH was mailed
Mr.. Mcclure BY Mr. Martin yesterday and
a reply is expected from him within a few
days. In regard to the matter Mr.. Schwartz
said: II did not say positively that the mat
ter had been settled. Less than amajority
OF the carpenters have voted upon the ques-
ton, and while it is apparent that the vote
will be against the movement, no one can
authoritively say so. 1t may be that the
carpenters IN Pittsburg are against the
movement, but until it is finally settled
nothing should be said. There are q local
unions, representing about 4, 800 men in this
county, and those who have not voted have
until April to do so.
'The vote now being taken is not on the
eight-hour question alone. The latter is en-
bodied in the report of the Committee on
Law, which contains the working rules, rate
of wages to be paid and many other things
adopted last spring. When the final meet
ing is held we will then know where the
carpenters stand on the eight-hour matter"
MUCH TALK ABOUT IT. ..
The publication of the statement that
there would be no strike caused considerable
talk among labor leaders yesterday. Many
opinions as to its result or the general agita-
tion were expressed. One was to the effect
that such a move would be disastrous to the
cause. The agitation had worked the bpild-
ers and contractors up to the point where
they were prepared for it, Another thing,
the other trades in this city which would not
be called upon to strike, were ready to fight
for those who were. The machinery of the
Federation of Labor is in such shape that
500, 900 would flow into the treasury every
six days to support the strikers.

MIGHT BE LlRKIN'S MILL.
Deni Closed for nm Iron Plant mt West

Deni Closed for nm Iron Plant mt West
Newton by Pittsburgers.
James Carouthers, of West Newton, SAYS
the Pittsburg iron firm that desires loca-
ton for works on the river side opposite
the West Newton Paper Works, is not the
only firm after location there. Certain
Pittsburg capitalists, who will build big
iron works, desire location a little below
the proposed site, and Mr.. Carouthers has
closed deal with Mr.. Bell, who represents
them, by selling seven acres of this ground
at 500 per acre.
The same gentleman has obtained the
Robson farm of so acres adjoining at $500
per acre. This ground fronts the river, and
extends back to the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. The iron firm that has done the
purchasing has no connection with the firm
that has been buying property on the oppo-
site side of the river.

THE SITUATION CHANGES.
Oliver Bros. & Phillips Strike May Bring
Ont Five Thousand Men.

Oliver Bros. & Phillips Strike May Bring
Ont Five Thousand Men.
The strike at Oliver Bros. & Phillips
South Tenth street mill is beginning to get
exceedingly interesting. Itlooks as though
it is not to be settled without considerable
difficulty. There was the greatest change
in the situation yesterday of any day since
the strike was declared.
A conference was held in the afternoon
between the strikers and members of the
firm. Just what the outcome of this con-
ference was the men refused to say, but it
was evidently not very favorable to an am
icable settlement of the trouble, as the forge
department, in which IS men are employed,
closed down last night.
1t is stated on the authority of the strikers
that unless the strike is settled before Mon
day the Allegheny mill, the South Fif-
teenth street mill, the Standard Nut Works
and the South Thirteenth street steel mill
will be closed. This will include over 5000
men who will be thrown out of employ
ment. Although everything was quiet
around the mill yesterday and last night, the
firm asked the police department for three
officers, who will 20 on duty to-day, to pre-
vent any trouble that might arise.

ANOTHER PARK ORNAMENT.
The Art Gallery Branch of the Library
Located In SchenIey Park.

The Art Gallery Branch of the Library
Located In SchenIey Park.
Councilman r. B. Carnahan said yester-
day, regarding the report of having the
main library building in Schenley Park,
that Mr.. Carnegie had expressed no prefer
ence except as far as the art gallery is con-
cerned. There has been no meeting of the
Library Board of Trustees since the one for
organization, and nothing has been done vet
as to a site, and nothing can be done, be
said. until the plans and specifications for
the building, as we'll as the surroundings,
are considered. These may be very much
changed by the donation of property BY
citizens. or the discussion and determine
tion OF what ground shall be purchased by
the trustees.
1t is generally thought that the art gallery
will be located in Scheuley Park. according
to Mr.. Carnahan's idea of Mr.. Carnegie's
intentions, the idea being taken from the
art museum in Eden Park, Cincinnati,
which was built from the stone of the old
postofice building. and is the finest example
of Corinthian architecture in the country.

Yesterday.
John Westerman, one of the puddlers of
Oliver Bros. & Phillips South Tenth street
mill, who were ordered out on Wednesday
to aid the striking bolt workers, died at his
home in Beltzhoover borough yesterday
morning. Mr.. Westerman's death was quite
sudden and unexpected.
Custer Lodge, Amalgamated Association
of Iron and Stell Workers, of which he is a
member, held meeting yesterday afternoon
to make arrangements for attending the
funeral Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
They decided to attend the funeral in a
body in company with Sovereign Lodge, the
other body of striking workmen. The inter-
mentwill take place in Southside Cemetery.

THE FIRST IN IL YEARS.
A Conscientious Bartender Who Refused
TO Give Mnn n Drink,

A Conscientious Bartender Who Refused
to Give Mnn n Drink.
There is one applicant for retail liquor
license before the court who certainly should
get one if anybody should. He is at present
attending bar in Smithfeld street saloon.
Some time ago well-known local office
holder walked into the saloon and called for
whisky. The bartender put out the bottle
and two glasses. As the would-be customer
poured out the whisky and raised it to his
lips he said to the white-aproned attendant:
"This is my first drink in II years."
Excuse me, but there's fly in that
glass, :" said the bartender, as he reached over
and took the liquor from the mans hand.
He then threw the whisky on the floor and
said: eff that's the first in IT years I'll be
blankety-blanked if I'll have the name of
selling it to you."
Remonstrance was of no avail and the
man pleaded for the whisky. His appeal
had no more effect than if it had been made
to a wooden Indian. The bartender refused
to give it, saying he would lose his position
before he would help any man to break a
habit he had broken off

faithfully he should be taken care of with
out regard to politics or Influence.

An Allegheny Boy Who VIII Not Obey His
Mothers Commands.

Joseph Shannon, 13-year-old boy, was
placed in the Allegheny lookup last night
at the instance of his mother, who wants to
have him sent to the House of Refuge. The
bov claims that the cause of tine trouble is
that there is difference of opinion between
his mother and himself on religious matters.
He says he is Protestant and wants to
attend public school, while his mother is
a Catholic and wants him to 60 to one of the
educational institutions belonging to that
denomination. The case will be investi-
gated to-day.

The term of Office OF D. o. Barr, as Sur
veyor of the Port of Pittsburg, expired yes
terday, but as yet no one has been appointed
to succeed him. Frank P. Case, city asses
sor, is the candidate most prominently
spoken of, and his friends expect he will be
the man appointed. Mr.. Case is an old
newspaper man, and this fact alone would
fit him for any position. He is backed by
Congressman Dalzell, but the usual fight
between the latter and Senator Quay has de-
layed the appointment. Mr.. Quay and
Congressman Bayne are supporting Mr..

The other candidates are Major William

There is some peculiar feature about the
stabbing matter between Joseph Brown and
Cal Gray, who last night was resting easily
in the Homeopathic Hospital. Brown,
naturally, skipped out, but did fine work in
covering his tracks. He travelled across
Allegheny, went to Woods Run and took
the p, c. & st. L. train for Mansfield,
where he was taken by Detective Sol
Coulson, who had jumped on the train at
Birmingham station on speculative clew
which he had gotten from coIored member
