SOLDIER BOYS HOME.

The Fourteenth Regiment Given a Rousing
Reception ut Johnstown.
The Fourteenth and Eighteenth Regi-
ments and Battery B returned home yester-
day from camp at Mt Gretna. The battery
arrived in the morning, having broken
camp about 10 o'clock Friday night and
the members looked sore and weary.
The Fourteenth folded its tents
about o'clock yesterday morning,
but did not leave the camp grounds
until $50. The boys arrived in Pittsburg
at 9:05, having been over IL hours on the
road. The delay was caused by the heavy
train which required three engines to haul
it The Eighteenth left about an hour after
the Fourteenth, and arrived about 10
o'clock. The last organization to get away
was the Third Brigade Band, which did not
leave until $50 last evening.
The Fourteenth was to have had a dress
parade at Johnstown, but owing to the rail-
road people refusing to hold the train, the
idea had to be abandoned. Company q, of
the Fifth Regiment. stationed at Johnstown,
was on hand to welcome the Fourteenth,
and thousands of citizens crowded around
the station to give them rousing cheer.
Ex-Quartermaster Patterson, of the Four
teenth, is still after blood in his fight
against Colonel Parchment. He brought
the matter up before Governor Beaver, who
ignored it.

CURE FOR CONSERVATIVES.
A NEW PHILADELPHIA MODE TO TREAT
THE DREAD DISEASE.


The Rush Hospital Method Discussed by
PittsburE Physicians-A Success In For-
eign Enthusiastically From Con.
sumption Reduced.
Vital interest is attached to the establish
ment of the Rush Consumptive Hospital. in
Philadelphia. and Pittsburs physicians ex-
pressed their opinions yesterday on the i'm
portance of the new institution.
DR.. G. c. Wylie observed: 'sIt is a great
advantage to have a special hospital where
consumptives can receive the proper medi-
cal attention, and be cured. The plan fol-
lowed by Germany and England is to give
the patients as much rest as possible, to re-
duce the fever and to nourish the body. In
those foreign hospitals patients are kept in
bed or in room, or are carried out in the
open air on cots, and, protected by clothing
from draughts, are left to inhale the
fresh air. understand the Rush Hospital
will be conducted on the same plan. After
the fever is reduced, think there is no bet
ter way to treat the patient than to intro
duce him into an air tight cabinet room,
which is filled with oxygen, and effect a
cure by his inhalation of the vaporous medi-
cine. Nutritious provender, consisting of
beef, eggs and milk, will be an excellent
nourishment for the body. The German and
English claim a large percentage of cures
by this method in six months time. When
we consider the enormous number who die
annually from the dreadful disease of con-
sumption, hospital for eonsumptives is of
invaluable benefit"
The same opinion was echoed by num-
Der of prominent physicians. They regard
the method of treatment as an important
addition to the healing institutions in the
medical profession.
DR.. j. G. Burgher said: "If the theory
that tuberculosis is a contagious disease is
correct, countries in which special hospitals
for the treatment of tuberculosis have ex-
listed should show decrease in the mortality
from the disease, because each case that's re-
moved to hospital takes away from the COM
munlty a center of infection. Now, has any
country given consumption hospitals long
enough and extensive enough trial to Justify
the testing of this hypothesis? England
undoubtedly has, and it is probably the
only country that has. In England special
hospitals for the treatment of tuberculosis
have fourished for upward of 40
years. and as q result there has been
a great reduction in the mortality from con-
sumption. In regard to the mode of treat
ment, believe Nature has designed just 80
much oxygen for each human being, and if
the quantity is increased or diminished TO
an abnormal extent it is liable to defeat the
objects of the healing process, but with
proper care and handling, cases Of consump-
tion may be cured by the proposed methods"

WORTHYTHE WORKER
Labor Day This Year 10 be Celebrated
by a Big Demonstration.
THE M'GAW BOMB NOT EXPLODED.
William Mullen, the Coke Region Leader,
to Have a Monument.
VERY INDIGNANT MASTER WORKMAN

The committee of the Building Trades
Council appointed to arrange for a repre-
sentative parade on Labor Day, September
1. is getting right down to business. The
members met last night, at 537 Smithfeld
street, and discussed the best means of ar
ranging the details so that the demon
stration should be one beftting the city and
the mass of organized labor whereof it is
the center.
1t was decided, to issue invitations to
every organized body in Allegheny county
to participate in the parade. In this
demonstration there will be no cause for
confiction on the score of rival organiza-
tions, and it is expected and hoped by the
leaders of both the Knights of Labor and
the American Federation Of Labor that each
body will do its utmost to make the day
success.
A CHARACTERISTIC DISPLAY.
1t is the intention of those having the
matter in hand to make a characteristic
trade display on the day. Organizations
will be asked to arrange for an exhibition
Of their craft, as has been the custom in
handsomely decorated floats on which such
trades as can conveniently show the pecu-
liarities of their work shall operate during
the period of the parade. In other cities
very interesting display is made by such
trades as the tailors, cigarmakers, printers,
ETC., and an attempt will be made to have a
similar popular feature in Pittsburg's Labor
Day parade.
"Some people fear," said labor leader
last night, ''that the time is too short, but
if the organizations go to work and arrange
preliminaries at once there will be time to
have turnout worthy of the occasion and
the place. 1t is a reproach to Pittsburg,
the center of industries and cradle of organ
lied labor, that other cities should make fit
ter demonstrations on this day than she
does. With no parade last year, we should
doublyexert ourselves this tim. Every labor
union should turn out. Master Workman
Evans, in Trades Council last night, said
that the knights of Labor would turn out
if they had the Great Western Band.
NO OBJECTION TO IT.
''There is no objection to this band turn
ing out. Brother Carrick said at the Trades
meeting tonight that all organized bodies
were invited to participate, and since Mr..
Evans said that the Knights would parade
if they had this band there is a prospect for
a big demonstration. All that is needed is
the immediate and hearty cooperation OF
every union body in the county"
The railroads will be asked to make
special excursion rates for the day, and
special invitations to out-ot-town bodies to
attend will be issued. The rumors set on
foot to the effect that there was a confiction
between the Central Trades Council and
the Building Trades Council on the ques-
ton of parade are groundless Both
bodies will act in harmony for q successful
issue to the project

TUNNEL AND ANTI-TUNNEL.
The Two New Parties Into Which Wilkins
burg is Divided.

The Two New Parties Into Which Wilkins
burg is Divided.
There is lively quarrel impending in
Wilkinsburg over the question of tunneling
the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks at Penn
avenue. The tunnel, which is to be 10 feet
in diameter, is mainly for the benefit of the
Duquesne Traction Company. which cannot
get into the borough in any other way. But,
on the other hand, the residents of wilkins
burg would like the tunnel, because it
would do away with one of the most danger
aus railroad crossings and make it more
convenient for the people to get in and
out OF what is the very gateway of
the borough. They would like it, but
they are doubtful as to whether they can
stand the expense, A great deal of prop
erty in the vicinity of the tunnel would be
injured almost to the point of annihilation,
and the owners are afraid that such dam
ages as would be awarded them would not
recompense them for the InconyenIeuee and
loss they would suffer. 1t is said that the
borough taxes would be increased to the ex-
tent OF 10 mills, making them a most bur-
densome imDost
The borough 10 now divided into tunnel
and anti-tunnel parties, and it is more than
likely that the question will have to be set
tied by a full vote of the population, indie
pendently of Councils,

STILL HANGING FIRE.
The Central Trades Council Not Yet 10 Ex.
plode the McGaw Bomb.

The Central Trades Couucil Not Yet 10 Ex-
plode the McGaw Bomb.
At the meeting of the Central Trades
Musical Union affair came up for discussion.
President Stuart occupied the chair, and
the first business transacted was the admis-
sion of John Beck, delegate from Brewers
Union No. q, The committee on the case
of Homer L. McGaw reported progress. The
Chairman of the committee stated that the
delay in making the committees report was
due to causes which could not
be avoided by the committee. Be-
fore the report can be completed
it will be necessary to take the statements of
several people, some of whom are now in
Europe. One gentleman whom the COM
mittee has endeavored to see has acted very
peculiarly. He has agreed to meet the COM
mittee several times but on each oc-
casion found an excuse for not
doing so. On one occasion he appointed
date and place of meeting, but when the
committee went to his Office he suddenly
discovered he could not then make state
ment. The committee will probably never
report at all.
Mr.. MeGaw sent letter to the Secretary
of the Council, in which he stated that he
objected to the way in which the committee
was acting, as it was unfair TO him. Sew
eral members of the committee are his enc
mics, he says, and while they have snubbed
him they have been using the Central
Trades Council as a. cat's-paw. Mr.. Nc
Cav says he has received no notice Of the
meetings of the committee, when he had a
right to be notified, and has been ignored
generally.
A communication from the Secretary of
Musical Union, No. 1. .5S3, caused some dis.
cussion. The communication suggested
that the trouble between Musical Union
1888 and the M. NJ. P. o., be
settled by board of arbitration, to consist
of five members, two of these arbitrstors to
be appointed by the Central Trades Council
and two by the M. M. P. o., and these four
to select fifth. The communication was
finally placed on the table and no action
was taken on it.

A broken cable stopped business on the
Central Traction road last evening. About
$50 o'clock the cable parted near Kirk
patrick street. 1t caused an immediate
stoppage of the line, and one that could not
be repaired that night. Work was at once
commenced to draw the broken ends of the
cable together to make temporary splice
and get the broken portion into the power
house Tor permanent repairs. 1t is expected
to have the road running by this morning,
The cars were left all along the line.
The cable that broke had but recently
been repaired, the most worn portions
having been replaced by about 1000 feet
taken from the old cable taken out of the
lower end of the line, A new cable to re-
place the one that is broken was ordered
some time ago, but has not arrived, and it
is supposed to be somewhere near Altoona.
1t is expected to arrive on Monday.

struggle that the man was hand cuffed and
placed in the patrol wagon. At the Twelfth
