working, that one Of the striking gripmen
named Farmer had deserted the union
ranks and took a car out of the shed at
noon. When one of them asked him what
he struck for, it is said he replied that he
did not know.
Forty gripmen and conductors arrived in
the city yesterday from Philsdelphia and
were placed on the cars. Several narrow
escapes at collisions occurred at the Smith
field street crossing during the afternoon.
Had it not been for the vigilance of Officer
P. j. Young at the corner some persons
might have been injured. About O'Clock
funeral was going along Smithfield street.
A car manned by a new gripman was
coming down the hill. The officer tried to
stop the car, but owing to the slippery con-
dition of the rails the wheels slid along.
The car could not be stopped and broke
shrough the funeral procession.
Chief Engineer Davis, when seen by q
DISPATCH reporter, said: 81 expected lit
tie trouble on account of the large number
of people out to-day, but everything passed
off nicely. We have all the cars out, and
the new men are doing as we'll as could be
expected. A number of the strikers want to
get back, but their places have been filed
We do not expect any further trouble"
1t was rumored last night that suit was to
be entered against the superintendent for
snatching an employees badge from him the
day of the strike. The gripman claims the
badge to be his property. having deposited
30 cents for it when he entered the service of
the company The charge in the suit is to
be grand larceny.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Roger
0'Mars said last night that the strikers were
still conducting themselves like respectable
citizens, and they were giving no trouble to
the officers. The rumors, he said, about
conductors being assaulted were without
foundation.
The new conductors of the cars are expe-
riencing considerable annoyance from boys
and young men at Soho, who hoot at them.

THE SUPERB CASE.

The interior of the hall is in that tint
known as cafe au lait; anglice, coffee with
cream added. The superb case of the in
strument is in perfect harmony Herewith.
The case is very wide, the shape Of the
choral stage admitting of the devotion of
only nine feet in depth to the instrument,
thus necessitating the occupations of much
sidereal extent. Forty feet in the width,
and under such circumstances great oppor-
tunities were afforded for the obtaining Of
artistic effects. That the case measures up
to and beyond the utmost requirements will
be admitted at glance. 1t is rich without
being obtrusive, and follows most graceful
curves, while harmonizing with the pointed
arches and general -Greeian outlines of the
interior appointments of the hall.
The case rests upon the second tier of the
choral stage and the first eight feet of its
height are in symmetrical, almost severe,
panels of quartered oak, j. e. oak sawed in
such manner as to develop the veins and
whorls. An oil finish with q great polish
brings out the beauties OF the wood.
Dividing the panels are the columns upon
which rest the octagonal and swelling cap
itals which sustain the towers Of pipes.
A GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

ARRESTED ON SUSPICION.
The Oakland Fires Not AccidentaI-An In
dIvidual in Custody.

The Oakland Fires Not AccidentaI-An In.
dIviduaI in Custody.
The three slight fires in Oakland Tuesday
night turned out upon investigation yester-
day to be cases of incendiarism beyond much,
IL any, doubt. One occurred on Oakland
avenue, one on Atwood street, and one on
Oakland square-all three within a short
time Of each other. The Atwood street
house was in course of erection for Mr.. Nc
Clurg, and the house which was damaged
on Oakland square was one of q number
being built there for E. M. O'Neill. The
loss on the latter is supposed to be about
81, 900, covered by insurance.
Yesterday a suspicious looking indi-
vidual was sighted by Mr.. c. b. Chance,
superintendent of the Oakland square build
ings, actually engaged in lighting fire at
the rear of some new dwellings going up on
Boquet street. The police were called and
the person was put under arrest He gave
his name as Thomas Brant, but did not fur
nish a satisfactory account of himself He
said he had never been in that neighbor-
hood before; but two of the working
men identified him as lowering around
there the night before, previous to
the fire. 1t was shown that he
had procured days employment from Mr..
Bigge, contractor engaged in building on
Atwood street, that he had been discharged;
and that he made use of expressions in re-
gard to the fire which strengthened the sus-
picions against him. Brant does not belong
to this city.
The prisoner was lodged in the Four
teenth ward station, where ne will await a
hearing. The Fire Marshal, it is to be pre-
sumed, will take charge of the case to-day.
1t was ascertained that the floor of Mr. Nc
Clurg's house had been saturated with oil
befor~ the fire was started, and in the Oak
land square house, also. there were evil
dences of incendiarlsm. The special watch
msn who is employed there says that when
the fire started his dog chased somebody
from the premises and over the side of an
adjacent hill.

A HALF MILLION CANCELLED.

The Philadelphia Company WIpInE Out Iis
Indebtedness improvements Contem-
plated For Next Year.
The Philadelphia Company has cancelled
$500, 900 worth of its bonds. This annuls
three-fourths of million dollars worth of
the bonds of the corporation, and limits the
possible issue of other bonds to s., ,75O, 900.
The action was taken at meeting of the
Board of Directors of the company, held on
Tuesday afternoon in the Office of George
Westinghouse, Jr. There as full attend
ance of the directors. In view of the fact
that all of the alterations, extensions and
expenses of every nature during 1889, to-
gether with the amount required for divi-
dends aggregating per cent, were less than
the receipts; and that the company had sold
the Westinghouse building, it was voted to
cancel $500, 900 of the company's bonds, in
addition to the $3.50, 900 cancelled in accord
ance with the sinking fund requirements of
the mortgages.
At the regular meeting of the board in
January, when the statements for the year
will be completed, it is contemplated to pre-
pare statement to be sent to the stoekhold-
ers with the dividend.
With reference to the extension of the
company's lines, for 1890, it has been de-
eided, in view of the satisfactory operations
of the past year, to limit the extensions, in
cludlng the new line to Bellevernon, to a
sum about equal to that expended on better
ments out of the earnings for 1889, thereby
maintaining the full capacity of the plant
without any further expenditure of capital.
Among the improvements contemplated
are the extension ofthe 36-inch line to Muir
rysville (requiring about three miles of
pipe). and the beginning of 36-inch line
at Homestead. running part way to Belle
vernon. The balance of the line to Belle
vernon will be completed by the relaying
of lines that can be spared after the compile
tion of the 36-inch line to MurrysVille.
The resignation of Mr.. G. b. jackson,
rendered on account of the necessity for al
most continual absence from the city, was
accepted, and Mr.. j. r. Mckinley was
elected as his successor.
1t will be remembered that the large and
magnificent building of the company was
sold Sc yeral weeks ago for $500, 900. Con-
siderable speculation was INDUCED in at the
time as to the cause of the sale OF the prop
erty. A number of rumors were afoat,
among them being one about the company
wanting to cancel its Indebtedness. This,
it appears, was the reason for the sale.

ON The SIXTEENTH.

The WyIie Avenue Gable Cars Will be Rum
ming To. Day Two Weeks.
Some of the discharged gripmen of the
Pittsburg Traction Company are consoling
themselves with the thought that they will
secure employment on the new Wylie ave-
nue. traction road. They claim that the
road will require experienced men. This
company now has in its employ six ex-
perienced gripmen. As the management of
the levers does not require very extended
course of study, these six men will be able to
instruct the other drivers in time to supply
the company with all the gripmen required.
The cars for this road have arrived in the
city. Owing to rain they were not hauled
out to the Minersville power house yester-
day. The company will commence business
with 16 cars. An officer of the road stated
yesterday that the road would be in opera
tion by the 10th Of this month.

THINKS THE CHANGE TOO ABRUPT.
So Says John Costello, of the X. of L., Con-
cerninE Eight Hours.

corning Eight Hours.
John Costello, member of the Executive
Board of the knights of Labor, went on to
Philadelphia last night to assist at a meeting
of the board. There will be up before it the
business referred from the Atlanta Genaral
Assembly, and which will include several
matters of local interest.
Referring to the eight-hour movement,
Mr.. Costello said:
81 don't think the abrupt change from the
present working hours to the eight-hour
day, as proposed by the Boston convention,
is feasible. The Knights of Labor cannot
as a body cooperate with the American
Federation of Labor, because they believe
the eighthour day can be obtained by more
conservative means. As individuals, though,
the Knights will give every assistance to any
trade that is prepared to make a crack for
the eight-hour day."

Frank Meyer, single man, who lives in
Lawrenceville, started to walk up the West
Penn Railroad track toward Sharpsburg
last evening about 6 o'clock. Several per-
sons who saw him noticed that he walked as
if he were intoxicated.
Near Sumner station he took q revolver
from his pocket, and, while probably ex-
amining it, caused it to be discharged, the
bullet penetrating his stomach. The report
was heard by number OF people, who ran
to his rescue. He was picked up, still liv-
ing, and carried to the home of a cousin
living in Sharpsburg, where his wound was
attended to. His condition is critical.
Whether or not it was an attempt at suicide
is unknown.
