WHY THEY STEPPED OUT.
Reasons for the Withdrawn of the Rufnn
Delegates.

Reasons for the Withdrawal of the Rutnn
Delegates.
To the Republicans Of the Forty-second Senatorial
District:
The undersigned committee, appointed
by the convention which nominated Senator
james S. Rutan as your candidate for the
Senate, to state the reasons which lead to
the withdrawal of his delegates, would re-
spectfully submit for your consideration the
following reasons, among others, which lead
to their Withdrawals:
First-The Temporary Chairman OF the
convention was selected by the vote of Mr..
Neeb Ga candidate before the convention
and also Vice Chairman of the County Com
mittee), and the Secretary of said committee.
Second-Senator Rutan had clear ma
iority of all the votes legally in the conven-
ton.
Third-For the purpose of overcoming
that majority and capturing the permanent
organization in the interest of Mr.. Neeb,
the Temporary Chairman made several un-
iair and dishonest rulings, of which the fol-
lowing will serve as an illustration: A. w.
jackson was elected as delegate for Sena-
tor Rutan from the Second district of the
Eighth ward and his election was not con-
tested, and he received his credentials duly
signed by all the election officers of that dis
trict. jackson being unable to attend the
convention, duly transferred his credentials
to Louis Haas, who presented them in the
convention. The Temporary Chairman,
without any testimony, boldly stated that
the signature of jackson was forgery and
instructed the Secretary to omit Haas name
from the rolls. This and similar rulings of
the Chair were challenged by the friends Of
Senator Rutan, but the Chair, persisting in
them. ordered the Secretary to proceed.
Senator Rutan's friends, seeing that the
result of these rulings would rob him Of the
nomination which he had earned at the
primaries, Withdrew from the convention in
body, and effectlng a separate organiza-
ton, unanimously nominated him and en-
Enthusiastically pledged themselves to do all
in their power to ratify the nomination at
the November election.

THEY WANT FAIR PLAY.
All Rail Lines Claim the Lake Diferentinls
Are Higher Than Agreed to-They De-
mand a More Equal Rate-Good Time to
Make Fight.

All Rail Lines Claim the Lake Diferentinls
Are Higher Than Agreed to-Tbey De-
mand a More Equal Rate-Good Time to
Make a Fight.
The all rail lines to st. Paul from this
territory interested in having the lake DIFF
ferentials increased to equalize the rates by
rail and water are awaiting with some in
terest for the conference of freight commit
tees to be held in Buffalo on Friday. An
all rail agent yesterday stated the facts in the
case to be these:
At meeting of the Central Traffic Associa-
ton las winter it was decided to make the diff
ference in rates between the rail-
roads and lakes from this terri
tory to the Northwest about 10 per
in favor of navigation. Instead of acting &C
cording to agreement the rail and water lines
made difference of 10 cents on the frtt two
classes and cents on the last three IN favor OF
the lakes. or nearly difference Of 20 per cent.
These were the differentials OF last year re-
stored. The all-rail lines of the Northwest OBJ
jected without avail.
The local lines to the lakes gave as their rea-
son that the seaboard roads had made the diff
ferentials on this basis, and they were COM
PEELED to give P1ttSDurg the same rates III pro-
portion. This is the position taken by the
roads at the last meeting which opposed tn {
change
Now the Western roads have come forward
with this proposition to the Eastern lines, that
unless the difference between the rail and lake
rates is equalized the railroads reduce the
rates to what they ought to be to bring them
on a better competing basis with navigation.
The chances are that unless the lines her q
agree to advance the lake differentials that the
railroads will reduce their rates.
An all rail agent said yesterday that the Dusl-
ness to the Northwest is SO insignificant this
year. in comparison to what it was at this time
last year, that this would be good opportunity
tor the railroads to battle for principle. AS
1T is the railroads are getting no business from
Pittsburg to st. Paul, and if the rates are cut
they might get something. However, the roads
will be satisfied if the difference of 10 per cent.
between rail and lake rates is maintained. This
will bring the rates by either route so close to-
gether that the business will be more divided.
The navigators are red hot against change,
and lively fight is in prospect.

An Educator of Music.

The idea in inventing the Aolian was to
make an instrument that a person could
play without the years of practice made
necessary by the piano and organ and at
the same time to have it in no way mechan-
ical, but capable of the most delicate shad-
1ncs of tempo and expression entirely at
will of the performer. The drudgery of
learning to play is the incessant practice
necessary to enable person to manipulate
the keyboard, while the pleasure derived
from giving the music feeling and express
sion. This understood, it was reasoned that
il the execution could be done for the player,
and the tempo and expression left under
his control, the desired result would be
achieved.
The Eolian is an embodiment of these
ideas. and upon it, with one weeks prac-
tice, berson with no musical education
whatever can become q really fine per-
former. The great feature of the instrument
is the high class of music it performs. The
catalogue embraces nearly 5000 pieces, in
Guiding the symphonies, operas and over
lures of all the great masters. The rendl-
ton OF these pieces is wonderfully accurate,
and serves to make the Eolian wonder ,ul
educator for both old and young. The
many thousands having musical taste and
innate ability, but who are unable to give
the years of practice necessary to enable
them to perform with the accuracy de-
manded by their correct ear and cultivated
taste, are with the Eolian able to gratifv
their love Of music and play for themselves
any and all classes OF music. One of the
most remarkable things about the Aolian
is its peculiarly beautiful tone. 1t is not
like the piano or organ, but resembles more
than anything else a small orchestra with
its various parts.
Messrs. Mellor & Hoene, " Fifth ave-
nue.. are the sole agents for this wonderful
instrument, and extend to all interested
cordial invitation to call at their warerooms
and hear it. They are also general whole
sale and retail agents for the celebrated
Hardman and the Krakauer pianos, which
are known throughout the world for their
excellencies.

ANOTHER BIG COKE DEAL.

The Cochrnne Ovens Purchased by Operator
j. ID. BoyIe-A Mammoth Concern Back
of 1.-two Hundred and seventy.Fi
Acres of Land.
Another important coke deal was consum-
mated yesterday. For months past it has
been the general suppositIon that the coke
business was in such shape that no more
deals could be made. The Frick and Nc
Clure companies bought out all the concerns
they could secure options on, and what was
left outside of these concerns was in the
hands of people who refused to sell. When
the latest deal was announced yesterday it
caused some surprise among the trade, and
for time the report was not credited. It
was afterward confirmed, however, and the
deal draws the lines closer around the coke
business.
A special from Greensburg announces that
the coke works of the late j. NJ. Cochrane,
have been purchased by Mr.. ]. d. Boyle, the
weli-known Pittsburg operator. The works
are situated in Mount Pleasant township.
Ihey are perhaps the Oldest ovens in West
moreland county. The site measures about
20 acres and there are 100 ovens in blast 1t
is generally supposed that the Cochrane works
the large companies, and it is said the Mcclure
Coke Company will become the eventual
owner. The price paid has not been revealed,
but it is admitted that it was a big one.
Last evening visit was paid to Mr.. J: u.
Boyle, at his Ellsworth avenue residence. Mr..
Boyle seemed a bit puzzled as to how the facts
of his purchase had gotten out. He said: las
you seem to know all about the affair suppose
may as well own up. did buy the works ana
in the interest of some other concern. The
price am not at liberty to state.
"The Cochran works have always been car
ried on outside the pale of the combination,
and their purchase will be big step toward the
general consolidation of the coke business,
which is coming fast"
If the Mcclure Company acquires the plant it
will give them total of nearly 2 900 ovens. The
business Is narrowing down between the Nc
Clure and Frick concerns, and in the region 1t
is common rumor that the latter will some
day buy out the former. This would give the
Frick Company nearly 10000 ovens, or two
thirds the entire number in the region. The
majority of those not owned by the Frick Com
pany would be the property of furnace COM
panies who use all their own coke, and would
not interfere with the market If the Frick
Company absorbed the Mcclure plants it would
give them entire control of the business.

RULED BY THE LOTTERY.

Rev. MIR. Bakewell Speaks of the Louisi-
ana Company's Hold on the State
Afraid the Legislature VIII be Bribed
to Secure n New Charter.
Rev. Mr.. A. Gordon BakewelI, of New
Orleans, registered at the Duquesne last
evening. Mr.. Bakewell was born in Ken
lucky, but is relative of the BakeweQ
family in Pittsburg.
"Just now," said the reverend gentleman,
'the people of Louisiana are watching with
keen interest to see whether the famous lot
terry company will secure charter not. The
Louisiana and Mexican companies have
offered 81, ,000, 600 per year apiece to the State
for charter covering Is years. The temptation
stroug one, and at this particular time with
heavy losses from the recent floods is doubly
attractive. To grant the charters it will be nee
essary to change the new Constitution of the
State, which torbids lotteries to exist after
1892. At the present time the anti-lottery peo-
pie have majority OF seven of the members of
the Legislature pledged against calling con-
venton for the purpose of modifying the Con-
stitution.
THE lottery Is the blight on Louisiana.
There are daily drawings besides the monthly
ones. The distribution of prizes is fair enough,
but the outlay of money, is not In propor-
ton to the income, which is S25 0O0 600 per year.
This is where the harm comes in. The lottery
people are very generous and scatter their
money around freely, even giving it to the
churches. During the late floods the Louisiana
lottery gave S100. 600 to help the poor and repair
the levees, but all this charity is for purpose
Back of 1t is a bribe. OF course, those who
are helped by them can't help but feel a little
grateful. The lottery company owns the State,
and the greatest danger now is that they may
bribe enough Of the legislators to have the
convention called.

very good game. Pitcher Calvin used to be a
Buffalo player, but was thrown overheard, and
he determined to goose the present Buffalos if
possible. He nearly succeeded, and only
special interventions of Providence allowed
the Buffalos to score. Outside of his superb
pitching, Calvin batted out two timely hits. His
single in the fifth and his slashing double in the
seventh were the finest of the game. Buffalo
secured as many hits Pittsburg did, but they
were at times that yielded them nothing. Hoy.
Rowe and Mack were able to hit Calvin. but their
followers could do nothing. The Pittsburgs
played superb field game notwithstanding the
mauy chances they had. The score:

TO REDUCE THE TARIFF.
The Team Will Go West While the Gate
Fec is Pnlled Down.

Acting President UNein made the announce
ment yesterday that the team will leave tonight
for Cincinnati where they play tomorrow. This
move was made for several reasons. 1t was found
impossible to play to 50-cent ball and draw
crowds, and while the team is away, a telegraphic
vote will be taken by the League to decide
whether not Pittsburg may reduce the admis-
sion fee to 25 and possibly 20 cents. If the tariff
goes down to 20 cents it will probably be looked
upon by the local Players' League people as war
move and a cut on their part may follow.
In to-day's game the Pittsburg battery will be
Baker and Wilson. For Chicago Hutchinson will
occupy the box and hittridge catch.
