ANOTHER ICE PLANT.
One With Capacity of 100 Tons Per
Day to be Built in Allegheny.
EMPLOYEES START planning MILL.
The Great Western Will Not Play for the
National League.
PENNSYLVANIA STRIKERS ARE FIRM

G. A. Ahrens, James B. Ross and Fred
M. Aiken, of jamestown, are stopping at
lie Anderson. The gentlemen are inter-
ested in the Montour oil well, and form the
Arctic Ice Company. They have just closed
deal for piece of land running back 300
feet from South avenue to Rebecca street, at
the corner of Faulkner street in Allegheny,
on which they will erect at once an artificial
ice plant. The building will be 200 feet
by IS.
Mr.. Ahrens said that they would be ready
by July to make 100 tons of ice per day.
They will begin drilling their wells at once,
and from the good results obtained by
others in the neighborhood, they think they
will strike good water, and plenty of it. The
wagons, etc., have already been purchased.
In connection with the ice plant they will
open cold storage rooms for the Allegheny
merchants. Mr.. Abrens said he had been
inspecting the process of making ice in South
ern cities, and he finds 1t great success The
sne Natural puFe5 article and from lake on
river. The water Is first distilled to remove all
impurities and then run into pans and frozen.
The cakes will weigh 300 pounds apiece. The
Chautauqua Lake ice did not measure more
fore 1t was housed considerable bad wasted.
The natural ice crop has not been very good.
Mr hoss, one of the partners. in speaking of
the Montour well, said that from 5000 to 1000
Darreis were lost before they could shut 1t in.
The fluid was coming out so fast they were
afraid it would break the casing to confine it.
The Standard is putting up two pumps. and
they will open the well this morning. MIR.
Ross feels confident it will do 100 barrels per
hour. but they will know when the test is made
to-day.

Manager Baldwin, of the Buffalo, Roches-
ter and Pirtsburg Road, Predicts n
TumbIe-The Pace Too Rapid-A New
Trunk Line to Chicago on the Carpet.
W. A Baldwin, Vice President and Gen.
era! Manager of the Buffalo, Rochester and
Pittsburg road, and formerly manager of
the Fort Wayne in this city, has been in
town for the past two days. He came here
to attend a law suit as witness, and was a
disguised man when the suit was post
poned.
"What do L think of the railroad out
Iook?" he began, repeating the reporters
questions. well, think the bottom will
drop out OF things pretty soon if 1 mistake
not the signs of the times. We have been
going at high pressure for a long time,
and 1 don't think we can maintain the pace
much longer. The business carried by the
roads is enormous, fact is unprecedented.
Yet manufacturers and others are complaining
of not making money. If this is SO 1 can't account
for the heavy shipments, and there must be
something wrong 1t looks to me as if men
were giving away the new dollar to get an old
one.
THE B. R. & P. is getting some business in
Pittsburg, but not as much as we want. Some
day the road may be extended to Pittsburg,
and sooner than l expect if certain deals now
on the carpet ever materialize. But I couldn't
tell newspaper man what is on foot. If did
that might as well blow it from horn on a
housetop Pittsburg, like all other cities. is
hard to reach with a new line. can't see how
we can get in here unless over some existing
road. The other lines have captured all the
available sites and rights of way.
There is good prospect of several short
lines from New York to Chicago across Penn
sylvania. Thew won't reach Pittsburg, because
this place is too far south. One of the trunk
lines contemplated will pass through kittan-
ing. In building roads in the past the projec-
tors usually followed the beds of streams,
but the time has come when
short routes are in demand. Pittsburg
has become an important point, but it is
cramped up in a little by valley. and is hard
to get at. / am afraid the proposed trunk lines
will ignore it. have every reason to believe
that the schemes of which speak will be car
ried out / don't pretend to know anything
about the financial hacking of the men in
terested, but a shorter line between New York
and Chicago will sooner or later be built"
The extension of the Buffalo, Rochester and
Pittsbufg road to Charlotte, on Lake Ontario,
was completed last August Manager Baldwin
said they proposed to push it iialf mile further
to catch the lake passenger trade, but one of
the New York roads refused to allow them to
cross their tracks. The question will soon be
decided by the courts.
Mr.. Baldwin has no faith in the South Penn
scheme. He says it is ridiculous to build a
road through the barrenest region of the State,
especially when it would be no shorter than the

GENERAL OSBOURNE IN THE CITY.
He Says Whoever the Republicans Nominat
VIII be Governor.

He Says Whoever the Republicans Nominate
VIII be Governor.
b General E. S. Osbourne, Congressman at
Large. of Wilkesbarre, Pa. arrived in the city
yesterday to attend the G. A. r. celebrations
last night. He was seen at the Seventh Avenue
Hotel by DISPATCH reporter.
The General is candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for Governor. but declined to
talk politics. He said the Republican nominee,
whoever he might be, will be elected. In regard
to the tariff bill General Osbourne thinks that
whatever the committee recommends will pass
without any prolonged debate. He considers
Mr.. Blaine's proposition in regard to South
America one of considerable merit, but that it
should not be accepted without great care and
much reflection. "1f anyone but Mr.. Blaine
had made the proposition" said the General,
lit would not have been considered worthy of
consideration. But Mr.. Blaine is leader with
a far-seeing eye, and he has the confidence of
the people. However, I don't think we can
surrender any position we occupy to-day that
will interfere with the wages of the working
man."
The General thinks Mr.. Lea's letter to the
President will have great weight with the
Quakers in the eastern part of the State. He
does not think it was intentional on Governor
Beavers part to have SO many hangings yester-
day-the anniversary of Lees surrender.

A PENN BANK ECHO.

The Last Report of the Crash About TO be
Heard-A Rumor That the Masters Re-
port VIII Hold the Stockholders of the
Defunct Bnnk Liable.
Much interest is felt just now in certain
circles ever a rumor that Judge Hice. of
Beaver, to whom the matter was referred to
determine the question OF liability for the
failure ofthe Penn Bank, has finished his
report and will file it to-day, perhaps.
Judge Hice was seen at his home in Beaver
yesterday but he was non-committal, the
most that could be gotten out of him being
that It would be filed in due time.
The rumor is that Judge Hice will decide, o.
has decided, that the stockholders are indi-
wrecked the institution and squeezed many de-
positors of small means, running some of them.
There was quite prevalent opinion at the
time, which has not yet abated. that President
Hopkins was forced out of the presidency in
order that the cornering of the Standard Oil
Company might be effected. How the Standard
was said to have encouraged the attempt by
(as alleged lending the cornerers money to
work with and sprung the trap at the oppor-
tune moment, is q matter of history. The re-
suit of the deal was the beginning of the end
OF speculation in oil and the producers shut-in
was the finale.
Some people think Judge Hice has taken
sufficient time TO reach bedrock and some OF
propose to erect brass monument to the
master il he files his report before the case be-
comes forgotten on the pages Of ancient his
tory.

Association met at the Hotel Anderson yester-
day. Captain ]. P. Gorsuch. of GAINESVILLE. pre-
sided. The main business transacted was to
advance the price of fruit jars 10 per cent
This was done to partially make up for the ad-
vance of 100 per cent in glass chemicals, which
has occurred recently.
Mr.. d. o. Cunningham, who attended the
meeting, said that there is a shortage in fruit
jars. The visible supply is not equal to the de-
mand, and is SO per cent less than it was at this
time last year. The chances are that another
advance will follow later on in the season. Mr..
Cunningham stated that the outlook for busi-
ness is fair.

A SHADY CROWD.
Through Trying TO Find Her Sister n Woman
Gets Into Trouble.

Last evening young woman named Mrs.
Mossburn applied at Central station for assist
ance IN finding her sister. who she said was
only IA years of age and had left her home.
She was afraid her sister had come to harm.
Detectives Fitzgerald and Robinson started to
find the girl and found she stopped at No. 16
Liberty avenue, kept by man named Werner.
The officers found the girl In a museum with a
young ma named Edward Bardwell, and ar
rested both. The girl is slightly built. tall
and rather good looking. She and her sister
were taken up to the matron's room. where a
story was developed which caused all concerned
to be locked up.
1t appeared that Mrs. Mossburn, who is a
married woman, but separated from her hus-
band keeps house in a joboat close to the Pan
handle bridge for John Shoup and another man
named O'Brien. The boat contains only two
rooms, and the woman had been driven out of
another joboat short time ago. The younger
sister claimed to be l9 years of age, and said all
that Mrs. Mossburn wanted was to get her back
to the boat. The whole story was such that. in
order to have it thoroughly investigated, In
spector McAleese ordered the arrest of all the
parties.
Young Bardell, who is carpenter, was locked
up. and Shoup, the proprietor eff the joboat, who
is brakeman on the B. and O., was released on
SIS forfeit, while Mrs. MosSburn and her sister,
whose name is Laura Bennett were also put be-
hind the bars. The lessee of the house l6
Liberty avenue and his wife were also arrested
and held until the matter is thoroughly inves-
tipated

URSULA WILL NOT BE SOLD.
Bishop Phclnn and Attorney Mckenna Deny
Statements TO the Contrary.

statements TO the Contrary.
Ri. Rev. Bishop Phelan last evening denied
the report that the Ursullne Convent was
about to be sold to the Western Theological
Seminary. Although he had for some time
ceased to take an active interest In the business
affairs of the convent, he had learned that ne
gotiatons were well under way toward the
happy settlement of this vexed question. 1t
was reported that second appeal had been
made to Rome by the sisters. This he also be-
lieved to be false. 1t was unlikely that such an
appeal could have been made without his
knowledge. OF the precise terms proposed to
the dissatisfied sisters he knew nothing, but he
had understood that they were favorable.
The idea of the sisters writing to Rome in
order to borrow money from His Holiness, was
a ridiculous one. The Pope's income was barely
large enough to support the immense number
of secretaries, etc, it was necessary to employ
in the Vatican; and there would be none to
spare for the sisters. Whatever money they
borrowed must come from their friends in
America.
e. F. MGKenna, Esq. attorney for the Ursu-
line Sisters was also visited. He said: THE
statement that the Western Theological Sem
mary is about to purchase the Ursuline Con-
vent is altogether false. No overtures of any
Kind have been made. / may tell you that if
they were made, they would not be entertained.
The convent is not for sale. Negotiations for
a settlement are going on swimmingly, and be-
fore very long you may expect to see the dis
contented portion of the sisterhood returning
to their native land.

THE WHEELING STRIKE.
A Union Mill Started in Opposition to the
Builders Exchange.

A. NJ. Schwartz. Vice President of the
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joipers, re-
turned yesterday from Wheeling, where he had
been for several days investigating the car
penters' strike in that city. He says there are
prospects of a settlement of the difficulty. The
carpenters in Wheeling have started shop
know as the Union PlanIng Mill. where 80 men
are employed. None but union men are allowed
about the place.
The Builders Exchange has inaugurated
bitter fight against the men. which promises to
be pretty interesting unless it is settled shortly
Recognition is refused to the men an or
ganized body, although the members of the ex-
change threatened to employ non-union men,
and would have done SO but for the fear of
boycott. There were not enough non-union
men in Wheeling to fill the strikers places and
if they had imported men the strikers threat
ered a boycott
Mr.. Schwartz says the exchange is fighting
the men just because the latter are organized.
when. in fact. according to resolutions passed
by the exchange in 1883, the union is based upon
practically the same principles as those upon
which :he exchange was organized.

ENGRAVERS' SCALE ADOPTED,

The Pressed Glassware B1en Hold an All.
Day Conference.
The conference of pressed glassware manu-
facturers and the workers to settle the en-
gravers' scale was held yesterday in the Steven
son building. The meeting lasted all day and
until late last night. A great many changes
were asked for by each side. and there were
heated discussions over the scale on several ar
ticles
The tumbler and goblet list consumed a con-
siderable amount of time. 1t was argued that
jobbing houses in Chicago, Buffalo and ST.
Louis employ engravers on these goods and
sell them as cheap as the manufacturers. The
workers argued against any reduction for this
grade. An agreement was arrived at, and the
SCALE with some changes was adopted.
