A NATIONAL BOYCOTT.
Tho M. M. p. U. Orders 10000 Circulars
for It's War Agninst the League.

The M. M. p. U. Orders 10000 Circulars
for It's War ARninst the League.
The Musical Mutual Protective Union
has apparently only started in its crusade
against the National League Baseball Club,
on account of the latter's refusal to dismiss
the Great Western Band, which it claims is
q non-union organization. Yesterday the
M. M. P. o. ordered printed 1O, 900 circulars
for distribution IN every city where the
League club plays. The circulars will be
sent to the Trades Council in each city,
and the latter requested to distribute
them on the streets, ON the day the League
club arrives in such cities. The M. M.
P. q. has also hired the Cathedral Band to
escort the Brotherhood clubs to the ball
grounds, tomorrow. There will be more
than enough music in the air, as the Local
Players club has also hired the Grand
Army Band. The NJ. M. P. o. will have
q large wagon out decorated with
streamer, upon which will be painted Pat
ronize the Brotherhood ball club, the only
employers Of union labor and union mu-
sicians."
August Kreil, of the M. NJ. P. O., yester-
day sent letter to Secretary Scandrett, Of
the club, in which he freely expressed the
sentiments of the organization he represents.
He said: "Mr. Ross failed to live up to
his proposition in regard to arbitrating the
matter 1 asked him if he would abide by
the decision of the board if they decided the
Great Western Band was non-union. He
answered in the negative. This proves that
he did not wish the matter amicably settled.
1t will be remembered that the Great
Western Band was engaged last year by
Horace Phillips. The engagement was can
celled, and at the benefit for Mr.. Phillips
last fall the Grand Army Band volunteered
its services and did all in its power to make
the benefit success"

FIRST OF THE SEASON.
The South Side Enjoys Rehearsal of tho
Pioneer Circus.

The South Side Enjoys Rehearsal Of the
Pioneer Circus.
The tents of the circus CLEAN white in the
land, and the meadows OF Twenty-frst street
once more re-echos with the soul-stirring
music of the menagerie brass band. The
walls are bright with faring posters; the
feats of Miss Hermione de Montmorency
and Signor Ludovico Cospetti are brilliantly
portrayed upon the street corners, for space
the big drum will boom forth its nightly
summons to those good people whose eyes
ache for sight of that performing elephant
or those ferocious red Indians from the
imitless reservation.
Walter L. Mains hippodrome and men,
agerie, of Fottsdam, N. Y, is the pioneer
circus of the Pittsburg season. 1t is quite
a large establishment, consisting for the
most part of the old Van Amburgh circus.
Last evening rehearsal was held,
and quite a number Of spectators
succeeded in getting first view of the
performance, which was excellent. There
are some score and a halt of horses, the
usual quantum of menagerie wild beasts
(all genuine, by their howls), and a num-
Der of pretty lady performers. Everything
went on swimmingly last night, and South
siders may look out for good thing when
the show opens to-day.

If She Joined Her Lover nt Wheeling, No
One Yet Knows IL.
Nothing has yet been heard of Miss Jen-
ME Penman, who left her Southside home
on Thursday, April 10, in order to join her
lover, Arthur Gray, at Wheeling. Her
present whereabouts have not been dis.
covered by her parents and friends. Mrs.
Penman, the fair eloper's mother, was yes
terday searching among her daughters &C.
quaintances to learn if they had received
any message from the missing girl. A
family friend, Miss Cecilia Ackermann,
stated last night that Miss Penman had
promised to notify her Immediately on arriv-
ing at Wheeling, but she had heard nothing
from her. Miss Ackermann said that The
DISPATCH was correct in denying that
Gray sent Miss Penman money to join him
at Wheeling.
The police have taken the matter in hand,
and have telegraphed to Wheeling for news
of Miss PeDman. MISS Ackermann believed
a marriage had taken place between Gray
and Miss Penman; but G. W. Evans, of
South Tenth street, close friend of Gray's,
is positive Arthur left town before any
nuptial ceremony took place.

UNITING THE CHURCHES.

B Committee Appointed TO Report n Plan
Stirring Speeches Made nt the Conveu.
tiou-A Unanimity Of Feeling and Flow
of Soul.
The convention of delegates from the two
branches of the Reformed Presbyterian and
the United Presbyterian churches, called
for the purpose of forming a union of the
churches, opened last evening in the Eighth
Street Reformed Church. Tho Rev. DR.. II.
H. George presided and the Rev. j. II.
French, of Cincinnati, acted as Secretary.
DR.. George said the prayer of our Saviour
toward the close of His life, that His people
all might be one, has found a response in
many an earnest heart. 1t caused longing
desire to see the day when partition walls
shall be broken down, loving hands shall
clasp and loving hearts shall flow together
in nearer and closer fellowship and reason.
The design of the con ventIon was to have the
brethren talk together about union, to pray
together about it and to seek the Holy
Spirit to show what is right. He asked if
they could not unite to consecrate their
lives and all to the salvation of this fallen
world. If they could not agree to merge
the branches into one ecclesiastical unity,
let them agree to come closer together in
Christian effort
Rev. DR.. McAIlister said the church is
distracted and not in its normal condition.
1t is disorganized and never will be in a
settled state until all the churches are one.
1t has against it all evil formed with COM
pactness that makes it one, and every
Christian church in the world must unite
in an organic body with a united front
against all evil. In this union there must
be the securing of the rights of conscience
without compromising truth. The unwor-
thy have the right to dissent and bring up
the matter again. These differences, how
ever, should not keep asunder those who
are one in God.
The Rev. j. T. McCrory said it was not
necessary to conform to each other in small
matters of doctrine and church government,
but they could have church union and all
retain their own doctrines. They must pre-
sent solid front in political work and tend
to give it a higher moral phase. 1t was i'm
portant that they should unite also. as this
generation will determine the political, So
cial and religious institutions of the world
for perhaps thousand years to come. A
Committee on Resolutions was appointed to
report at the meeting to-day.

TO CONDEMN A PIKE.
A Movement to Secure a SiXty-FO0t
Street Out to Perrysville.
PETITIONS NOW IN CIRCULATION.
The Pleasant Valley Road Wishes to Double
Track That Branch.
A WARD ALL READY FOB ANNEXATION

A petition Is being circulated in the hill
wards of Allegheny asking the City Coun-
ellis to condemn the Perrysvlle Pike road for
street purposes inasmuch as it is entirely
within the city limits, and far too narrow
| and circumscrlbed for the needs Of the COM
munity.
This action arises from the universal de-
mand that the Perrysville branch of the
Pleasant Valley line be double tracked in
stead of running upon the switch system.
The Pleasant Valley Company has been
anxious to double track the road ever since
the Federal street and Perrysville road be-
came part of its system, but as the width
of the pike is only "a feet at many points it
is impossible to operate two tracks and
maintain the roadway.
A vigorous effort will be made to enlist the
aid of Councils. The concession is made
that the building of the line has IreDled the
value of real estate in that section of the
city.
TOLL GATES IN THE CITY.
When the railway was first laid the turn
pike company received SIS, 900 for an ease
ment of their right of way, thus letting in
the railway. The last gate of the Perrys-
vile Pike Company and the major portion
of its roadway are within the city limits,
and the residents of the hill display the
same hostility to the toll system as Hon. A.
c. Robertson evinces toward the Point
bridge. There is pronounced feeling in
favor of the abolition of the turnpike, and
Councils are expected to take decided action
in the matter.
The general view seems to be that CO.
foot street clear to the city limits would be
about what is wanted. Should such action
be taken, it is certain that the Pleasant
Valley will build double track the whole
extent OF its present line. AS at present
operated, the cars have to tarry at the
switches more often and for longer periods
than suit the Perrysyillians.
AN EXPENSIVE JOB.
Nearly the entire road would have to be
widened from the inner side, as nothing
short of bridge building would do much on
the cliff side, where an abrupt declivity of
100 to 400 feet, almost sheer descent, pre-
sents practically insurmountable engineer
ing difficulties. Retaining walls would
have to be constructed on the inner side and
the job is likely to prove costly one. The
sharp turn at the old power house would
also present difficulties.
The Pleasant Valley Company cannot run
enough cars at certain hours of tie day to
accommodate patrons, and on a day like
last Sunday it was said to be an actual fact
that 5000 people walked up the hill, unable
to secure transportation.
1t is said by some that the Perrysvllle or
any other pike road cannot be maintained
when wholly within the limits of city.
There is some doubt upon the point, and
legal advice will be had.
The population beyond the city limits is
anxious for annexation as the Fourteenth
ward.

MUSICAL HEADQUARTERS,
KIebers Lead All Others.

Purchasers put more faith in the honesty
and judgment of that old and trusted music
house of b. Kleber & Bro. than in anyone
else. An instrument coming from Klebers'
store, be it Steinwag, Conover, Gabler or
Opera piano. or Burdett or Earhuff organ,
is accepted as good and reliable, for the
opinion of Mr.. Kleber is looked upon as
final and conclusive. Hundreds of people
have made the remark: "Oh, wish 1 had
called on you first and bought an instru-
ment of you;" and then they beg the Kle.
bers to take the piano or organ which they
bought elsewhere off their hands and e1-
change for the superior ones at the latter
place. Klebers' prices are S25 to $50 lower
than those of other dealers, and their terms
of payment are easier.
While other dealers sit around complain
ing of bard times the Klebers are kept as
busy as bees. Don't fail to call at Klebers'
506 Wood street.

TO BUY OUT DUQUESNE TRANSIT.


Rumors That the Pittsburs Traction Wants
to Do the Octopus Act DIscredired.
General derision seems to have greeted the
rumor that the Pittsburg Traction officials
had made sundry propositions to Mr.. C. L.
Magee, as the representative of the Duquesne
Transit Company, looking toward the dis
continuance of the operations of the latter
corporation. 1t was circumstautially stated
that Mr.. Magee had been offered $500, 900
for the franchises held by the Duquesne
Company, and had refused to sell at any
price. That gentleman could not be seen
last night. but his friends discredit the
story.
Meanwhile the work upon Forbes street is
going merrily along, and the Craig street
power house will soon materialize. The
first rails on the Duquesne Transit road
were laid yesterday, in order to make good
charter obligations.

THE CABMEN'S COMPLAINT.
They Consider Chief Browns Card Rates
Bit Too Illiberal.

They Consider Chief Browns Card Rates a
Bit Too IlIibcral.
The cabmen were holding an indignation
meeting about Chief Browns cab regulation
order at midnight, at which the prices pre-
scribed were the subject OF condemnation.
"Why," said one OF the speakers, "Chlef
Brown himself has often given me 81 for
taking him up to his house when the fare is
only rs cents. If he wants to regulate cab
fares why doesn't he get out
fair schedule? You cannot expect man to
drive up to Thirty-frst street, which is in
the Twelfth ward, and haul heavy trunk
up or down three flights of stairs and then
to the depot, with passenger, for 80 cents.
An express wagon would charge IS cents or
81 for hauling the trunk alone"
These sentiments were heartily indorsed
by the entire assemblage. and it was decided
that memorial should be prepared. request
ing Chief Brown to issue more liberal
card rate.
