And More Men Engaged to Take the Place
of the p. G. l.. E. Strikers.
The days of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
added to the list of those who take the
places of the strikers yesterday, and five
crews were busiIy engaged all day getting
material to the mills and making up trains
of outbound freight.
They delivered IS cars to the Pittsburg,
Virginia and Charleston, and 40 cars of
material were received. Forty cars were
delivered to the Baltimore and Ohio Transfer;
&c were taken away from Jones & Laugh
Inns mills to be shipped south, and 80 to go
north. divers mills were supplied with
material from the Charters yards, as were
also the lower mills-Sligo, Singer. Nimick
& Co. and Painters. The Twenty-third
street freight yard was cleared up and
everything along the tracks was put in
pretty good shape.
The railroad officials stated last night that
the strike is practically over. They have
in sight more pen than are needed Just
now, but it is expected that the business of
the road will increase shortly so that still
greater number can be used. They expect
to bring about 80 men from Harrisburg and
Philadelphia. Others will come from Bos-
ton, New York, Cleveland and Chicago.
The detectives were on duty all day yes
terday and will be continued in service for a
few days as precautionary measure against
possible interference from the old men.
Trainmaster Dietrich said last night that
everything is moving along smoothly now
and they expect no further trouble. He
had charge of one of the crews himself yes
terday.

owl is imprisoned under large tub in the

his purchase.
Walter Calverley, the Alliquipps mines,
Camden, mined go cars of coal in the last
II days, aggregating 2,310 bushels. The
scale price OF cents per bushel netted
him 500 30 for IL days work. Four cars of
25 bushels eachpis considered a good days
work. The output is an unusual one. Mr..
Calverley is young Englishman not weigh

known that there would have been so much
fuss made about his output, he certainly
could have made it 100 cars instead. The
Camden boys say they would like to hear
from the diggers up and down the Monon-
gahela river.

NOT A BIG SURPRISE.
That Glue Failure Anticipated by
Several Alleghenians.
FEW OF THEM WANT TO TALK,
Thinking Mr.. Haughey a Very Capable
Man, and None of Them
POSTED ON HIS BUSINESS AFFAIRS

The failure of the W. A. Baeder Glue
Company, of Sprin gdale, as far as its actual
occurrence is concerned, came in the nature
of surprise, although there are many per-
sons residing in the upper portion of ALLIE
gheny who are said TO have been expecting
it. During yesterday the matter was a gen.
eral topic of discussion, not only on account
of the connections of some of the members of
the firm, but of the many persons who are
said be Caught" to greater or less e1-
tent, in the failure.
Those to whom the assignment is not sur
prising, state as their reasons for such an
opinion the evident cafelessness of Haughey
in the management of the works. They ad.
NIT on all sides the capabillty of the man to
conduct the business of which he had
charge. He was we'll known as really
frst-class glue manufacturer-in fact, it is
stated that the Armour Company, OF Chi
cago, has been after his services for some
time. He seemed to be always travelling
to New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Buff
falo, Chicago, and such places, drumming
up trade, as was claimed.
DON'T WANT TO TALK.
Efforts were made yesterday to get the
views of a number of parties said to be in
volved or interested in the assignment
with but little success. There seemed to be
pre-arrangement to keep out of the reach
of the newspaper folk. One gentleman, a
son of A. Holstein, who lives on North
Canal street, was the only one knowing any
thing of the matter who could be prevailed
upon to talk. He said:
"The only information have in the mat
ter is gathered in general wav from my
father, who had loaned about SIT, 900 to
Haughey on the paper issued by him. 1
frequently told my father to refrain from
touching any of it, as L had but little conf
dence in Haughey. He was always dancing
round and doing the grand, like million
aire, which was not in keeping with the
standing of the concern of which he was
the manager. understand that VIM. Flac-
Gus loaned him about $4,000, and 1 have
been told of quite number who hold the
paper for small sums.
HELPED BY HIS FATHER.
"How they will make out 1 cannot say.
My father, however, is we'll secured. He
was quite nervous for a time during the
early portion of last week, but Haughey
brought his father here from indianapolis,
q wealthy man and President of leading
bank there. He gave my father about
$1,000, and secured the balance to him in
real estate.
"What became of the money borrowed is
question that 1 could not answer. L do
not feel disposed to criticise Haughey or
offer an opinion as to his conduct"
Mr.. Howard Kern, member of the firm,
is expected to arrive in the city this week,
when the facts in the matter will likely be
brought to light.

A FATAL FLY-WHEEL.

The Chief Engineer OF the Black Diamond
Works Whirled TO His Deatii-Sho clsina
Accident-The Body of Frederick Heck
mnn Terribly N1nnglcd.
At 1910 o'clock yesterday forenoon Fred.
erick Hickman, chief engineer at the Black
Diamond Steel Works, met with an acci.
dent that cost him his life. 1t seems that
they were cleaning out the boilers at the
mill, and Mr.. Hickman was experimenting
the work. He was caught in the fy-wheel
of the pump, and was whirled around once
and thrown with great violence to the floor
When picked up it was found that one leg
was badly crushed, a wrist broken and that
he was injured internally.
He was at once removed to the West Penn
Hospital by DR.. Clark, and after a closer
investigation it was deemed advisable to
amputate the crushed limb, which was done.
MIR. Heckman's other injuries, however,
were of such serious nature that he could
not stand the shock, and he died short
time after the amputation.
Mr.. Hickman was 62 years old. He lived
at No. 334 Thirty-nInth street. He had
been for many years at the Black Diamond,
and was well known and much respected in
Lawrenceville. He leaves a wife and a
large family. Nearly all his children are
married.

Delegate Chnse Thinks the Clubs Did Some
Good In the South.
George A. Chase. of Titusville. one of the
delegates to the convention of National Re-
publican League Clubs, returned, from
Nashville yesterday. Mr.. Chase is United
States Commissioner and City Solicitor of
his own town. He said they were re-
ceived nicely and entertained royalty by
Republicans and Democrats alike. The
latter in particular were very much inter-
ested and many of them attended
the meetings. Mr.. Chase thinks that
the clubs made an impression
that will be lasting. He says the South is
picking up fast, and the people are show
ing considerable energy aud business enter
prise.
A number of the Pittsburg delegates re-
turned yesterday morning. Some of them
took advantage of the side trips to various
places in the South that had been planned
by the managers.

LOW WESTERN FARES
The Rate Battle of Lines Beyond
Chicago to Begin TO-MorrOw.
HEAVY CUTS TO WILD WEST CITIES.
Electric Companies Spending $l,OOO,OOO
Yearly in Litigation.
BIG OIL OPERATIONS FOR THE SUMNER

The Pennsylvania Company has issued q
circular to its agents, notifying them OF the
big cut in passenger rates that takes effect
tomorrow from Chicago to st. Louis, Kan
sas City, Denver, st. Paul and intermediate
points. The present rate from Pittsburg to
Kansas City is S24 so, and the cut rate will
be $40; from this city to Denver the regular
tariff is $40 IS; after to-day it will be $50, a
reduction of S12 65. To other points the
rates are cut in proportion.
The Pennsylvania Company is always
careful not to disobey the Interstate law.
and in its instructions to agents il enjoins
them to give intermediate points their pro-
portionate reduced rate. The 3. & o. and
the other local lines have also issued such
circulars, and lively Western war is pre-
dicted.
CAN'T TELL THEIR OUTCOME.
"The trouble" said local passenger
man last evening, sis that you can't tell
where such rate fights will end. They are
liable to spread, though I don't think the war
will be carried east of Chicago, but it is bound
to reach to the Pacific coast. It was started
in very simple way by the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul road. Many Of the
lines west of Chicago like the Northwestern
and Union Pacific and the Wisconsin Gen.
trail and the Northern Pacific have made a
combination and they carry solid through
trains over their roads without change of
cars. Now a passenger on the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul to the West would
have to change at st. Paul, since they
haven't a receiving line. The Union Pacific
wanted to take them into the deal, but they
refused. The result is the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and St. Paul road has been losing busi-
ness. They tried to regain it by offering
agents double commissions and they are do
Ing it now, but they were still losing money.
LIKELY TO LAST SOME TIME.
The cut was the last resort and the other
lines have already met it. The slashing is
liable to continue some time. At the re-
duced tariff the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul's share OF the rate for passengers from
Pittsburg to St. Paul after the commission
of 50 to the agent is paid. is only so cents.
las result of the cut the demand for
tickets to the West has increased enorm-
ously. Oh, it will be a good thing for the
Eastern lines, but woe betide the Western
managers when the enraged stockholders
suddenly jerk them up. Pittsburg is not
kicking, neither are the people. The rates
are liable to be cut still further in few
dayS"

Good Prospects for Extensive Oil Opera
tions Next Summer.
John Eaton, President of the Oil Well
Supply Company, went East last evening.
In chatting about the prospects for business
in his line, he said: "The indications now
are that as soon as the roads become navi-
gable once more, the activity in the oil
fields will be enormous. The Standard Oil
Company is planning TO put down number
of wells in the Lima territory. They pro-
pose to develop that field this summer on an
extensive scale. The demand for oil we'll sup
plies has been good all winter, and orders for
the summer are coming in at lively pace
1t is commonly supposed that it costs great
deal of money to sink we'll in Allegheny
county. 1t does cost little more than in
the Brad ford field, but the expenses are not
nearly so heavy as they would have one be-
lieve. Our Russian trade is growing. We
now have three general agents located in
that territory.

duce 1000 barrels per day if it was sunk
deeper. 1t is only four inches in the sand.

ANCHOR ICE FLOATING AWAY.
The Allegheny River Covered With Small
Pieces Yesterday.

The Allegheny River Covered With Small
Pieces Yesterday.
Yesterday the Allegheny river, which is
rather high, was covered with small pieces
of floating ice and snow.
"Where do you suppose that ice is made?"
said young fellow to reporter standing
on the Sixth street bridge.
"That is ridiculous question to ask, !"
the other replied. "Ice is frozen water, and
it is made on the surface
Nov that is where you are mistaken"
the young observer answered. ''The ice we
now see floating in the Allegheny is pro-
duced at the bottom of the river, and it
rises to the surface and floats away. That is
what the geologists call anchor ice I
wouldn't believe it was true at first. but
alter thorough investigation had to ad-
nit that the theory is correct. This ice
forms in cold weather on the bed of streams,
but it never becomes very thick"

MIR. Kerr Says thar S1.OOO,OOO is Spent

Thomas B. Kerr, the patent attorney Of
Westinghouse Electric company. went east
last evening to attend to some legal bust
ness. SIT is surprising" he said, ''how
many petty suits are entered against us by
other electric companies. It costs US from
5000, 600 to 100000 per year to de-
fend our rights. It is one suit
after another. Why I was recently
in Europe for 60 days, and when I came
back 1 found batch of complaints and
allegations to answer, and not one of them
amounted to a row of pins. They will even
sue to keep us from getting an order, if that
will do it.
The three electric manufacturing COM
panies in the United States spend yearly
81, 0O0, 900 in useless litigation. The amount
of stock invested in all the concerns is $25,-
900, 900. Anyone can easily figure out what
a nice dividend the companies could pay
with this money"
