OFFENDING HIS CHURCH.

of Secret Societies and Some Of Their

County Mayo Clergyman SAYS C,,bouc,,x
10 Not Opposed TO Patrlolism-Hi. yf.w.
of Secret Societies and Some of rt.,-
Objects.
Rev. Daniel j. Mclaughlin. a Catbol;c
clergyman from Clifden, County Mavo
Ireland, lectured last night in Hibern;an
Hall, Wylie avenue, on the question. "I.
Catholicity Opposed to Patriotism?" The
reverend gentleman answered, that so far
from being inimical to true patriotism.
Catholicity rather fostered and encouraged
it. Patriotism did not mean siding with
the majority, and the consequent rulers of a
nation, on a matter liable to result in evil.
If a man believes any measure favored by a
Government to be bad measure, he has
right to vote and speak
against it, and his doing so
is real patriotism-honest love for
his country. If sided with the ruling
powers against his convictions, he would be
a traitor to his country's interests The
claim that Catholics give their obedience to
tine Pope, and not to the Government, was a
false one. Catholics held that their Pontiff
was infallible when speaking ex cathedra-
that was to say on matters of faith and
morals. In civil matters the Pope had no
control over Catholic opinion. The right of
every man to vote as he chose had always
been upheld by the Catholic Church; and
the Catholics had suffered long and griev-
ously in Ireland, Poland, La Vendee and
scores of other places, for their very indie
pendence of opinion.
The statement of Catholic hostility to
patriotism, said the speaker, was q mere
election rry Recause Catholics refueed tn
join secret societies they were verv unpopu-
lar in manycountries. Men Joined these So
cieties, not on the broad principles of fra
te:nity which they claimed, but purely for
their own gain and advancement. Conse-
quently they felt humiliated when they be-
held men too right-minded to yield to such
considerations. If these Societies were
purely beneficiary, why were they secret?
Were their members too modest to publish
their good deeds? Hardly. There was some
other object for the secrecy, and unfortu-
nately, Catholics had plenty of reason to
think that that object was not to the benefit
OF the church Of the apostles. Il
In conclusion the speaker pointed out
that true-hearted patriots had been most
frequently found among Catholics, in
Catholic countries. Poland, Hungary and
Ireland had each their Kosciuskos, their
Kossuths and their O'Connells. America,
above all, had no cause to complain of the
patriotism of her Irish sons and foster sons.
Their swords were ready to strike in her
cause when occasion called for them. There
were plenty of carpet knights abroad now
adays who ranted about what they would do
for their country, but the Catholics of
America were not content with saying what
the future might produce. They pointed to
the glorious past.

NOVEL CARRIAGE WHEELS.
Local Company Busy Making Them From
Cold Rolled Steel.

A new thing in the line of carriage wheels
has been patented by George H. Everson, of
this city. They are made from cold rolled
steel. The spokes are tubular. and are ad-
Unstable. The wheel is put together in such
a manner that any part of it can be replaced
without taking off the tire or felloe. The
wheels are lighter, yet many times stronger.
than the ordinary wooden wheels, and natu-
rally are not affected by wet or dry weather.
A company has been formed and the
wheels are being manufactured in ALLIE
gheny. The company is known as the
Rolled Steel Carriage Wheel Company
The capacity of the works are about 90 sets
per day, but it is the intention to increase
the plant many times the present size, SO as
to be able to furnish a good portion of the
1000, 600 carriage and buggy wheels made
in this country every year.
In this connection the company makes q
cold rolled steel tube, from open hearth,
Bessemer or crucible steel, intended to take
the place of brass, copper or tin tubes for
chandelier work, railings and curtain rods.
The tubes are rolled by q process which
gives them various superior qualities in in
creased strength both tensile and COM
pressive.

DRY SUNDAY FOR THE HILL.

Southside Wards Cut Out OF n Water Sup.
ply By n Break in the MnIn-Inclines
stopped for the Day-A New Main Pas
Down.
The bursting Of water main on the
Southside yesterday morning between and
o'clock caused a vexatIous Inconvenience
to the residents of Mt. Washington.
Duquesne Heights, Allentown and Arling-
ton Heights. The water supply in the hill
wards of the Southside is drawn from a tank
on the line Of the Thirty-frst and Thirty
second wards, into which the water In
pumped from the Monongahela Water Com
pany's reservoir at the foot Of South Tven-
ty-eighth street. 1t was this main that gave
out yesterday and created o water famine
along the hill top.
The break was in the eastern side of the
Allentown tank, and when the pipe gaye
out the water ran ont in the absence of a
gate to prevent it. The break was discovered
Immediately by the people who lived near
the point where it occurred by the sudden
appearance of an enormous volume of
water pouring out all. around them. The
water company employees began to work at
the leak at once, but when the people in
those districts that are supplied with water
by the tank awoke from their Sunday morn
ing slumbers it was to find that their hy-
drants had gone on q strike.
Several hours had gone by before it be-
came generally known that a serious break
IN the supply main had taken place and
that another to replace it could not be laid
before night. In the meantime q lively
skirmIsh began to locate and use the water
in all available wells. These were found in
comfortable numbers and everyone felt
pleased that the trouble was not so very bad
after all. This opinion was revised at
later hour in the day, when the
various lnclines, with the single ex-
ception of the Mt. Oliver, posted
q card on the doors of their stations notify
ing patrons that 'This incline stopped for
want Of water" meaning practically that he
or she who walked down the hill would be
compelled to walk up again.
A new pipe was laid in place of the
broken one and the water turned on shortly
before midnight. The Mount Oliver In
cline Company was able to run their cars,
because they have a large private cistern
from which they derive their supply for
steam purposes.

VERY MUCH PUT OUT.
District Master Workman Evans
Stirred Up Over the Action
OF PLEASANT VALLEY DIRECTORS.
New Feature introduced in Accident
Insurance Business.
MORE MONEY WANTED TO MAKE ICE

Master Workman Evans, OF d. A. 3,
knights of Labor, is not satisfied with the
action of the directors of the Pleasant Val
lev electric lines in refusing to take action
on the communication sent to the board by
the discharged employees of the company.
In speaking of the matter yesterday Mr..
Evans said he could not understand why he
could not have common courtesy shown to
him. "The President of the company has
refused to recognize me-" said he, "and the
board virtually ignored the commu nication
of employees who worked with them until
they got their road in operation, and then,
because the men dared to exercise their
rights as American citizens, they were dis
charged"
The following is a copy of the letter sent
to the board by the discharged conductors
and motormen:
WHAT THEY WANT TO KNOW.
PITTsBURG. May II, 1890
To the Board of Directors of the Federal Street
and Pleasant Valley Passenger Railway COM
pany:
GENTLEMEN-We the undersigned. respect
fully present to you the following facts:
While in your employ we Joined a labor
On Monday, April 2s. 1890, the President, Mr..
u. F. Henry, discharged us, assigning as his
reason for SO doing our connection with the
We respectfully ask you If this is a sufficient
excuse for the discharge of men who have been
admitted by your officials to be in all cases
worthy and competent workmen, who are law
abiding citizens, and whether 1t is not an
abrldgement of the rights OF an American
citizen.
Two or three days after the meeting of the
board the men were notified that their COM
munication was received and fled" Mr..
Evans says he knows of two members of the
board who were not present at the meeting.
1.-THE meeting was not held on the regular
day." said he, "but q week later. There
were two members of the board absent from
the city, and I know one director who
should not have allowed that letter to be
filed without taking some action on 1t. 1
tried to act fairly with the company, and
did not propose to do anything unreason-
able. The men who have been discharged
do not want to get back on the road. All
but one of them have secured work; but 1
want to show Mr.. Henry that he can be
compelled to recognize our organization. I
think public sentiment is with the men,
and against such abrupt and arbitrary ac-
tions."
WON'T LET IT DROP.
Mr.. Evans did not say what his next step
would be, but asserted positively that he
will not let the matter drop yet. The new
assembly, composed of the roads employees,
met early yesterday morning and initiated
several new members. One of the dis
charged employees said to a DISPATCH re-
porter yesterday: "Has it occurred to you
that the Pleasant Valley Company never
had an accident until after we were dis
charged. and since then they have had
three, two of which were fatal. 1t is the
result of green men. The company dis
charges men for the most trifiing matters,
and is employing new men all the time"
