Miss Frances Willard, the energetic ad-
vocate of the word and works of the original
w. G. T. u, lectured last evening at the
Sixth u. P. Church, East End, upon the
aims of the order and the possibility of
woman's suffrage.
Miss Willard has been cultivating epi-
grams, and with great success She COM
menced by saying: THAT which is physi-
cally wrong cannot be morally right; that
which is morally wrong cannot be legally
right; that which is legally wrong cannot be
politically right, and that which is politi-
cally wrong cannot be partisanly right"
She then complimented the wineless BAN
uuet table of the President and Mr.. Wana-
maker; the recent civic banquet and the
Pan-American banquet, at all of which no
wine was served. Edison was instanced as
'man who had more convolutions of the
brain to the square inch than any other
American" Your Legislature is not in
session at the present time" said the
speaker, ''and cannot call it misfortune
1 want my audience to be a legislature
framing personal laws against liquor. Pro-
hibition is the tingling issue of the day, and
we women believe in the do everything
policy. For myself do not question mo-
tives of men; 1 discuss the merits of the
case. What the world is waiting to see is
the time when women can disagree with
courtesy Men have long ago learned this
art. When women learn it they will be-
come part and parcel of our Government.
We are nation of to-day and tomorrow.
not of Yesterday. Disembodied princi-
Piles stand about the same show
as disembodied spirits in this
workaday world of ours. If women could
vote we would have Mayors who would ap-
point Superintendents of Police who would
appoint Police Sergeants who would not be
blind and deaf and dumb and dead, with a
speak-easy in full blast under their noses.
The W. c. T. u is not partisan but non-
partisan; like Diogenes in search of an
honest man. Under its present name pro-
hibition cannot grow much more. The
movement must expand and its advocates
become good natured as sunshine and per-
sistent as gravitation. The fanaticisms Of
yesterday are the principles of to-day and
the victories of tomorrow. Parties are as
good as they dare to be-"
Miss Willard paid an eloquent tribute to
the American woman, closing by saving:
''That splendid gatherer of statistics, Car
roll D. Wright, told me not fortnight ago
that there are more native-born American
women in the northern states than there are
aliens or naturalizsd citizens; there are
more native-born American women in the
Southern States than there are aliens or
colored voters"

The Regular Assault and Battery Case Has
Been Reversed bv Mrs. McC,aGerty.
Officer S. Miller thought he had stumbled
on a big murder case on Monday evening,
between and o'clock, when he entered a
house on Thirty third street, and striking a
light, found the floor and walls literally
covered with blood and what appeared to be
the dead body of woman on a bed at one
side of the room. She was fearful spec
tacle. Her clothes were all torn, her ewes
blackened and swollen and her whole make
up plentifully smeared with blood.
She was taken to the Twelfth ward sta
tion house and her husband was arrested a
short time after. He was in an even worse
condition than his spouse. Four cuts orna-
mented his head and his hips and sides we're
badly bruised. His eyes were surrounded
by dark-colored skin and the eyeballs pro-
truded in a manner that was startling The
back part OF his head was as soft as a sponge
and there was wound that extended clear
across the forehead directly over the ewes.
The pair gave their names as Michael and
Lizzie McClafferty. 1t appears the husband
came home drunk on Sunday and found his
wife in the same condition. A row arose
and he claims that she got him down and
welted him with a poker. Lizzie admits to
having smashed him once with the sugar
bowl, but draws the line on the other article
Yesterday Michael was released and he i'm
mediatcfy entered a charge against his wife
for assault and battery

HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THOUSAND EGGS.
The New Steamer Keystone Stnte Arrived
In the City Yesterday.

The New Steamer keystone Stnte Arrived
In ,he City Yesterday.
The new steamboat, the Keystone State,
belonging to the Pittsburg and Cincinnati
Packet Line, arrived here at about o'clock
last evening. 1t came in from Harmer,
near Marietta, where it was built by Knox
Brothers, at their boatyard. 1t is an 800
ton boat, of the finest pattern. 1t will be
furnished and fitted out here, and next
Monday afternoon at o'clock will depart
from the Water street wharf on its first trip.
The entire cost of the boat, including all
furnishing, will be about $40, 900. Captain
T. s. Calhoun will be the master, and C. W.
Knox, brother to the builders, will be the
chief clerk.
The Cincinnati Packet Line has suffered
somewhat by reason of the nigh water at the
Ohio city. The Rainbow and the Hudson,
which are high boats, were unable to pass
under the Newport bridge. They were COM
PEELED to lie above the city until yesterday,
when the river fell sufficiently to allow
them to get down to the wharf and unload.
The Andes arrived yesterday morning with
a heavy cargo. 1t had shipped its freight
down to the Cincinnati wharf OIL barges
Among other things it brought up 500 cases
of eggs, 10, 900 dozen, probably the largest
shipment ever brought to this city By water.
1t left last evening with a heavy cargo
down. The Hudson should have been here
to-day, but will not arrive for three or four
days.

WATER COLORS.
Their Artistic VaIue-The Pettes ColIec-

tion.
In spite of the general and growing popu-
larity of paintings in water colors, there ex-
lists in the minds of some people lack of
knowledge concerning the characteristics OF
water color work and the place it occupies
in the art world.
1t is decorative in its nature and effect,
and one does not feel that panty quality
that is so palpable in oil paintings. and
hence is more desirable to decorate medium
sized apartments, as by the laws of their
nature water colors are delicate and trans
parent.
AS regards durability they outlast oil
color-being covered with glass, the picture
is not subject to the action of the air and
to the gases emanating from the CRATE and
chandelier-and do not crack. Another de-
sirable feature in water-color pictures is
their ready adaptability to surroundings
Oil paintings must be specially lighted, and
the wall spaces are therefore limited. Water
colors may be hung anywhere, carrying as
they do light of their own.
In a collection of water colors so uniform
ly excellent, and at least 80 of them rising
to the highest standard of merit, as that
which Mr.. Pettes has now on view at Gill
lespie's, 1t is impossible in the limits of
newspaper article to more thar mention a
few of the gems.
Looking From Richmond HILL" BY
Marble, of London; Seattle on the Romney
Marshes" by Charles Collins, an English
painter in the front rank as an animal

years was Vice President of the
Royal Institute of Painters In Water Colors,
and ga Golden Sunset" by w. Ayerst
Ingram, r. 3. A, are fit to grace any of our
finest private collections. Pittsburg, not to
be behind our larger Eastern cities, where
water colors are much sought after by the
picture buyers, is patronizing this collection
literally, and Mr.. Pettes has made nuner-
GUS sales. Owing to his other engagements,
however, he cannot remain longer than this
week. Those who have not availed them
selves of this rare opportunity should not
fail to do so.

WALKER RELEASED YESTERDAY.
He Says the Suit Against Him Was Insri-
gated by spite.

gated by Spite
James D. Walker, of Allegheny. an ex-
member of the Legislature, who was ar
rested at his fathers funeral Monday after
noon, by an officer of the Perkins Detective
Agency, was released from custody late yes
terday afternoon. Mr.. Walker was arrested
on bail piece issued by the Court of Clear
field county, it being claimed that he had
forfeited his Bail of $500 by his failure to
appear last September to answer charge of
selling liquor without license.
Mr.. Walker said yesterday that while he
was in Du Bois two years ago erecting new
buildings he had sometimes helped the pro-
prietor of the Hotel Brunswick behind the
bar, especially when there was big crowd
in the barroom. He had done that merely
as an accommodate Later he had
quarrel with John Foster, the owner of
brickyard. Walker sued Foster for assault
and battery and prepared to sue also for
civil damages. Foster retaliated by insti-
eating the prosecution of Walker for vio-
lating the liquor laws. Foster, for the as
sault and battery, was sent to jain for six
months and compelled to pay fine of $500.
Mr.. Walker had his liquor case continued
from March to September, 1882 Meantime
he worked at Johnstown from June to No
vember. Mr.. Walker said that he consented
to an arrangement by which he understood
that if he would drop his civil suit against
Foster the liquor prosecution would be
withdrawn. For that reason he troubled
himself no more about the matter. Mr..
Walker added:
II think Foster is at the bottom of the
affair and is trying to squeeze me. 1 have
just 20 days in which to enter my damage
suit and I think it was their intention to
shove me to the wall. The suit for damages
will now undoubtedly be pressed for all it is
WORTH
Mr.. Walker spent the night at home in
Allegheny and was at the Perkins office
yesterday. About 4 O'Clock Mr.. Mack, one
of his bondsmen, from Dubois, arrived in
the city. 1t required very few minutes to
settle the affair. Mr.. Mack said that there
had been a misunderstanding. The liquor
case is still pending in Clearfeld county.
Mr.. Walker says he is not afraid of it. He
will at once proceed to enter his civil suit
against Foster

TO REPEAL THE ORDINANCE,
An Objection to the Widening of Federal
Street Extension.

An Objection to tho Widening of Federal
Street Extension.
The Allegheny Committee on Surveys last
evening approved the ordinance which is in
tended to repeal the ordinance of August 10,
1886, providing for the opening and widen
ing of Federal street extension. Council
man George Cochran displayed MAPS one of
them showing that survey and plat, made
by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in
1887, dedicated Federal street as a pub
lie thoroughfare. so feet wide, in a
straight line, from the Allegheny river
to the northern line of the reserve tract, out
beyond the Perrysvilie road. Mr. Cochran
argued that Federal street ought TINS to be
extended. by a direct cut up the hill, from
the Grandview incline station to the Perrys-
vile road, such straight and broad street
being designed not only to add to the
beauty but to the utility of the city. That
street, laid out on the oldest official surveys,
had never been opened, but trafickers from
and TO the country had, by usage, formed a
wagon road up the gully.

THE ROAD NOT TIED Up.
Master of Transportation Yohe Says the
Strike is Off and Trains Are Running.

Master of Transportation Yohe Says the
Strike is Off and Trains Are Running.
The strike on the Lake Erie road is vir-
tually broken by the refusal OF the striking
yardmen to accept the condition offered them.
Master of Transportation Yohe yesterday
held conference with the men, and in
formed them that the management were un-
able to grant the demands made at the pres
ent time on account of the absence of Presi-
dent Newell In Europe, but, if they would
continue work at the old terms, on his re-
turn, which was expected within 30 days,
the matter would be submitted to him. The
entire force of As men decided to remain out.
On receiving this information Mr.. Yohe
ordered them to call at the Office for their
money, and on doing so they were told that
their services would be no longer required.
Mr.. Yohe informed DISPATCH reporter
last evening that none of the strikers were
any longer in the employ of the road. All
regular trains were running and two yard
crews were equipped from sub-yard men.

Coruopolis Methodists Are Out In the Cold
Pro Tempore.
Coraopolis Methodists have been arrang-
ing for year or To past to build new
church structure. The work will probably
be expedited now. as the old one was burned
about 2 o'clock yesterday morning. The
entire loss is not heavy, some 500, the bulk
of which falls on Thomas f. Watson. He
donated the ground under an arrangement
that when a new temple was erected the
ground and the old building would revert
to him. The building was low frame one.
The books belonging to the Sunday schools
were burned and also small organ.
Some people think the building was
burned to prevent Watson from realizing
on his bargain while others think different
ly. Coraopolis has no fire department.
