THOMAS HERMAN KILLED
IN AN ACCIDENT AT THE CLINTON BLAST
FURNACE,

The New Elevator Came Down Upon the
Old GentIeman's Head, Killing Him In
stantIy-He Had Been With the Firm for
twenty-five Years.
Mr.. Thomas Kernan, ST., was instantly
killed by an accident at the blast furnace of
the Clinton Mills, at 4:45 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
For the past few days workmen have been
repairing the damage done to the furnace BY
the fire two weeks ago to-day, and the new
elevator was being tried. 1t had been run
up and was coming down. when Mr.. Ker-
nan put his head in the shaft TO see If 1t was
coming. The elevator was nearer than any
one supposed, and it struck Mr.. Herman on
the head, killing him almost instantly. His
skull was crushed and his neck broken.
The body was soon after removed to his
home, which is just across the street, at 156
West Carson street
Mr.. Herman was one of the best known
men in the city. He was IS years old, and
leaves eight children. His wife has been
dead several years. Mr.. Kernan's eldest
son, Thomas Herman, Jr., is night superin-
tendent of the furnace in which his father,
who was day superintendent, was killed.
He mas other sons who are well known on
the Southside. The deceased had been with
the Clinton Mills for the past quarter of a
century, and had been superintendent for
many years.
Although strong partisan of the Demo-
cratic faith, Mr.. Herman was a general
favorite even among his political oppo-
nents. He has been very prominent in the
public affairs of the Thirty-third ward,
having served from time to time as school
director and Councilman, and at the last
election was elected Alderman.

A GROWING ORDER,

Railroad Grievance Committees Strike .
Snag in Their Own Laws.
Assistant Grand Conductor Wilkinson, of
the Railway Conductors, lett forl AL
toona last evening to attend a
meeting there to-day. He spent yesterday
among the members Of the order here.
Mr.. Wilkinson says the membership of the
organization now numbers IL, 900, and it is
increasing in strength and influence every
day. So far as he had heard, everything
was quiet in railroad circles.
In this connection it now transpires that
the Grievance Committees that recently met
in Pittsburg for readjustment of wages on
the Pennsylvania Company's lines went
home because they could not act without
violating a Brotherhood law to the effect
that the local superintendent must not be
ignored, and the men should treat with him
first.
1t was intended to make the fight on the
grievances of the men on the branch OF the
Ft. Wayne from New Castle to Ashtahula.
The round distance between the two places
is 166 miles and 118 from New Castle to
Ashtabula. The men are paid the same
wages on both runs, and Superintendent
Kimball, it is claimed, refused to allow
overtime. The conductors on the branch
feel sore over the sudden termination of
affairs, and one of them said yesterday that
they were worse off now than before they
federated.

MALONE Is NOT AFRAID,
HE SAYS WANAMAKsR HAS NOTHING TO
DO WITH HIM.

The Superintendent Thinks He is Being
Don't Like Him-He Insists Upon the
Work Being Well Done.
Superintendent Malone, of the new Gov
ernment building, looked like man trained
and prepared to 60 to a finish when a DIS
PATCH reporter dropped in to see him yes
terday afternoon. He was firm in his gen.
eral manner, but at the same time as agree
able as usual. When asked what he thought
of Postmaster McKean's determination to
have him removed, he smiled and replied
that the Postmaster, if he had been quoted
correctly, seemed to think he was master OF
the situation.
"What do you anticipate the outcome Of
his letter to Postmaster General Wansmaker
will be?" was asked.
''This work is not in Mr.. Wanamaker's
department to begin with. 1t comes under
the direct control of the Treasury Depart
ment. Whether Mr.. Wanamaker will
interest himself enough to go outside of his
own sphere in the matter Is more
than 1 can say. One thing will say, how
ever am doing nv duty to the best OF my
ability, and it is open for the inspection OF
men competent to judge on that point. l
saw it stated that Postmaster Mexican and
Mr.. Butz of the Pennsylvania Construction
Company, were going to call on me to-day,
but they have not been here vet.
"How about the complaints of the Con-
struction Company representative"
"They are very easily explained. The
company was given the contract in July,
1889. 1t was to be finished in three months.
1 only started to keep time on them from
the date the work began. Under this ar
rangenient their contract expired May 1,
1890. Since that date they have been liable
10 a penalty of 500 day. So you see it is
quite natural that they should want to find
some peg on which to hang the excuse, and
they have singled me out as target"
'fCan this money be deducted from their
contract"
"If the Government sees 6t to do So"
"Has their work been satisfactory"
No, sir; it has not. The exception has
been for them to do anything right. But
these facts are all known at the department
in Washington. In fact, they have been a
by-word for months, so it is needless for me
to say more When a superintendent allows
contractors to slipshod along, draw their
money and cheat the Government, he is a
good fellow, but when be insists on things
being done properly, then they kick"
With this Mr.. Malone subsided and spoke
no more

RUBBING OUT THE LINES.
Judge Smith, of Virginia, Thinks Western
Democrats Should Lead for the Present
He Would Have Mills Retire Into the

Judge Smith. of Virginia, Thinks Western
Democrats Should Lead for the Present
He wouId Have Mills Retire Into the
Background.
Judge Thomas Smith, of Warrenton,
Va, is at the Duquesne. He was United
States District Attorney for New Mexico
under Cleveland, and as he hadn't
much use for the territory after
Harrison was elected President, he returned
to Virginia and became interested in de-
yeloping its mineral resources. He is in
the North now after capital for the purpose
of starting several industries in the iron
regions at Low Moor. His father was
the famous war Governor of Vir-
ginia, Familiarity known as Exeter Billy. "
The Judge is prominent Democrat IN
his own State and we'll posted on the polit-
ical status of the South. In short talk last
evening he said: 81 think it would be wise
for the Democratic leaders to select a North
ern Democrat for Speaker OF the next
House, and to put their western ana
Northwestern Democrats in the majority
on the Ways and Means Committee.
Every now and then the Northern
people, through Misrepresentation, become
imbued with the idea that the South, with
its peculiar ideas. is returning to power, and
their interests are endangered. To allay all
such fears. think that Mr.. Mills, who is
in the line of promotion should keep IN the
background, as we'll as all of the extreme
Southern free trade members. The Southern
people, in their efforts to develop the coal
and iron resources of the country, are
as much interested in protection
as the Northern Republicans but the
trouble is that all such economic
questions must be subordinated when con-
tronted with the negro problem. The ques-
tion is whether we shall be ruled by intelli-
gence or Ignorance. We regard the Force
bill as another effort to push the negro into
authority, not for his good, but that through
him the Republicans may control the
South This is the reason why the South
always presents such solid Democratic
phalanx. 1t is the one party that has been
willing IN the past to help US, and even
Northern Republicans who come down to
live with us soon vote this ticket.
Southern elections are fairly conducted.
I must say that 1 never saw any illegal
voting. Both parties are represented on
the board, and these people are there to see
that their side is not cheated. If the
agitation about the negro would cease and
the South were left alone, we would get
along very well. The Southern Democrats
are the colored mans best friends, and in
time ne would be educated and become
better citizen"

A GREAT FREE SHOW

Given in Judge Magee's Court, Yesterday
Two CoIored Men Have an Amusing Ar
gument-A Peculiar Remark That
Wasn't Meant TO be Sarcastic
Two colored men, named George Johnston
and Charles Mason, were before Judge Ma
gee for half an hour or so, and the Oldest in
habitant present said he had never gotten
so much fun out of dollar spent in va
riety shows as Messrs. Johnston and Mason
furnished gratis and unconsciously.
Johnston charged Mason with alternating
the affections of Mrs. Johnston, and this
was the base of a suit for surety OF
the peace. Mason in his defense
was eloquent, and the two carried on an in
terjectonal argument that was immensely
funny, but unproduceable except by phono-
graph. Said Mr.. Mason: "You sneaked
after me like dog" Johnston replied
eyes, did, and it takes dog to catch
fox. holed you."
The argument grew heated, and Bre'r
Fox, Bre'r Rabbit, Bre'r Dog and
on to furnish rhetorical figures.
Finally Mason wound up with speech that
hit Judge Magee squarely between the eyes,
but as His Honor saw that there was no in
territorial sarcasm, he bore it good humored-
". Said Mason: 81 tell you Judge, any
fool knows and you know yourself, that if
a woman dom want to be stolen from her
husband she can't be, and no man can steal
her away if she dom want to be stolen"
The Court generally seemed to enter into
the spirit of the thing, and it gave Johnston
a chance to say that he didn't know that he
was related to the District Attorney. He
made Mason admit that he had gotten very
fine biscuit to eat while in jail, and then
turned to the Court and stated that Mrs.
Johnston had baked them.
Judge White-Why didn't you punish
your wife for her misdoings?
Johnston-Judge, this court won't shut
up in day or two will it? This looks like
pretty good building.
Judge White-No.
Johnston-Well, then I'll bring her up
The Court thought Mason should be made
paw the costs, and 30 decided.

THE WEATHER BOSS TALKS.

He Says the Present Fine Spell VIII Last for
Several Days.
Weather Boss Stewart, of the local signal
service Office, said yesterday that so far as
he knew now the present fine weather would
last until Monday. High barometer was
the rule over Kansas and Nebraska, due, he
thought. chiefly to the Farmers Alliance.
"We have had some very peculiar and
unusual features in the reports OF to-day and
Yesterday" continued Mr.. Stewart. "On
Friday there were but two places in the
United States where it rained. Those were
Buffalo and along the Allegheny valley, and
at both places the fall was very light. To
day rain was reported from five different
points, but it was very light. probably not
more than one hundredth part of an inch.
If the old prophecy among the Pennsyl-
yania Germans is true that November q
gives forecast of what the winter will be
we NAV look for some pleasant weather this
time, as Friday was delightful and to-day is
about as fne."
