UvALDE county fair is held next
week. 1t Is farther west than any
fair In south Texas has ever been
held. San Antonio merchants, stock
men, wool dealers, and all other citl-
zens and the strangers within our
gates should run out, take in the fair
and see what a beautiful country lies
within our grasp to the west, and
what a pretty little country town
Uvalde is.

THE French government is making
timely and very necessary enquiry
into the condition of the working wo.
men of that country and particularly
of Paris, in which city the working
woman's condition is worse than in
any other city in the old or new world.
The Paris working girl cannot sup
port herself on her honest earnings,
and the alternative is starvation, sui
eide, or life of shame. Such con-
dition of things is disgraceful to the
republic. 1t never was worse under
the most infamous days of the mon
archy. Government owes these wo-
men the opportunity at least of being
chaste without sacrificing life in the
attempt.

grandly In the shadow Of the fifty

measure, the democrats will not.

SOME sections Of America may be
able to produce as good fruits of a

and perhaps better, but under good
cultivation it will be found the best

States. The same is true of vegeta-
bles which grow in greater abund-
ance and at less outlay to the market

FIGURING ON FACTS.
President Gompers Desires Informa-
tion Respecting Unions,
FOR THE USE OF THE CONVENTION.
Millions of Tons of Coal Sent From This
Port During the Year.
THE DUQUEsNE RAIL PLANT NOT SOLD

President Gompers, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, has issued circular as
follows:
To the Officers of the Trade and Labor Unions
of America Greeting:
FELLOW WoRKMEN-Your attention has al
ready been called to the tenth annual conven-
tion Of the American Federation of Labor. to
be held in Detroit. December s, 1890 and it is
my purpose to be in position to bring to that
body a comprehensive statistical statement
upon the various questions that most init
matey affect the wage-workers in the struggle
for reform and improved conditions.
To assert fact, to uphold a theory, is one
thing; to demonstrate its truthfulness by actual
conditions is another, and it should be our pur-
pose to continually endeavor to arrive at the
exact truth, at least so far as our movement
and progress are concerned.
The questions propounded are of the greatest
importance, and will no doubt give an oppor-
tunity to the delegates at the convention to in
telligently legislate upon the great questions
which will unquestionably demand their ca arnest
attention, hence most respectfully request the
officers of all trade and laDor organizations to
fill out the accompanied blank as fully and
completely as possible. and forward the same
to the undersigned at the earliest possible mo-
ment, not later than November Is.
The questions regarding which the Presi-
dent OF the Federation desires information
lncIuue the average nourS OF laDor ana
wages in each trade on October 1. 1889 and
1890; what Improvements have taken place;
the number of strikes and their results;
and the total increase of wages that each
organization has secured for its members.
Information is also requested concerning
how manv trade disputes that have been
settled without resorting to strikes, and
whether the organizations contemplate
making demand to reduce hours of labor
or increase in wages in the near future, and
to what extent and when.

SCARE OVER THE TARIFF.

General Jones Says the Farmers in the
Northwest Were Afraid the Mckinley
Bill Would Hurt Them-How They
Forgot About Markets.
General A. w. Jones, a prominent iron
manufacturer OF Youngstown, registered at
the Duquesne Yesterday. In discussing the
result of the election, he said: "The fight
which Mckinley made is the one thing that
surprises ME. 1 told him about three
weeks ago that 1 didn't think he could
make it. 1 had no idea he would reduce
the Democratic majority so much. find
that every moneved Democrat in the
district voted for the great protectionist.
Up 10 this time the Democrats have claimed
IA Congressman out OF the 81 in the State.
The latest returns show that Poorman has
pulled through, and they will only have 13.
This is not as many as they expected. 1 re-
marked to Mckinley that nnless he had a
majority of $500, the Democrats would
never allow him to take his seat.
THE causes which led to the landslide
are easely explained. In the Northwest the
people have few manufactures. They de-
pend upon agriculture for living. They
had been faithfully told by the Democrats
that the Mckinley bill would advance
prices, and believed it. They forgot that if
the mills shut down and workmen were
thrown out OF employment that they would
be minus a market. But there is one ray of
hope. The Senate is still Republican, and
the Democrats couldn't possibly secure con-
troll of this House before 1895, even, indeed,
if they do it them"

SAVED BY SCREAMS.
A Man Attempts to Abduct Girl in
St. Clair Township.
STRUGGLE FOR LIBERTY.
The Villain Takes Fright and Disappears
in the Darkness.
OFFICERS GIVE CHASE TO NO EFFECT

Attempted abductions seem to be epidemic
in the outskirts of the city. Citizens were at
the same time Mortified and alarmed yester-
day to read of the villainous attack of col
ored man, who attempted to carry q girl
from her home In Hazelwood. But it seems
that Hazelwood residents are not the only
ones that have cause for alarm.
Last night tine people of st. Clair town.
ship were thrown into fever of excitement
over an attempted abduction, in many re-
spects similar to that at Hazelwood. The
villain has escaped and left no trace of his
identity behind. The victim this time,
Miss Ada Miller, the 16-year-old daughter
of c. j. Miller, an old and respected resi-
dent of the hill.
A DARING INVASION.
1t was about o'clock in the evening ana
and her daughters were alone, the men not
having returned for the evening, though
they were expected at any moment.
A rap or rattle was heard at the door, and
Miss Ada stepped into the hall to see who
was there. AS she did so man bounded
up the steps and grabbing her, attempted to
carry her off. The man tried TO stop her
screams and carry her further away from
the door. Miss Ada is a strong, healthy
girl, and used her lungs and muscles at the
same time. At last she pulled away from
the man and gave an unearthly scream, at
which the man ran.
The ladies were scared for fear the villain
might return, but in a very short time the
fears were allayed by the city officer from
just across the line coming to the rescue.
The officer caught sight of the man, still
lurking about, and gave chase. The man
took to his heels and disappeared in the di-
rection OF Beck's Run.
THE MYSTERT UNSOLVED.
Whether the man intended robbery or was
alone is not known. The ladies could give
no description of the man that would lead to
his identity and his strange actions remain
unsolved.
Miss Miller, besides being thoroughly
frightened, was completely exhausted with
her struggles for liberty.
This is the first time that such bold at
tack has been made upon defenseless resi-
dents of the hill, but other ladies have been
followed by men, and a number now carry
little revolvers In their pockets. One
woman. the wife of steel worker in the
city, said: 81 was followed twice, and nv
husband got me neat little revolver, which
1 always carry, and 1 can shoot it, too. If

HE SAW BARRUNDIA SHOT.
A NEW YORK LAWYER SAYS 1T WAS A
GnOSS OUTRAGE.

Mr.. Fast Tells How the Passengers Were
Ordered Below-He Saw the General
Bare His Ereast-Consul Miner Cordi-
ally Hated.
f. r. Fast, LAWYER and member of the
New York Preus Club, is at the Duquesne.
Mr.. Fast formerly lived in Pittsburg and
knows some of The old newspaper men here.
He was on the City of Panama when Gen.
eral Barrundia was shot. Speaking of that
event at the Duquesne last evening he said:
'The shooting of Barrundia was a gross out
rage. The otker passengers on the ship
were ordered into the saloon and then
the General was called out 1 saw
him bare his breast, and in nv opinion he
was shot ir cold blood. Every passenger
on board was indignant and L need not add
that Consul Mlzner, who issued the order
for the arrest, in most cordially hated by the
people In that section. In this case the
Captain of the vessel made no effort to save
his passenger.
II remember several years ago while at
tending to some legal business for mining
company in South America, 1 found myself
on board a steamer in the Caribbean Sea.
Some war wal in progress, and General
Millen was there as correspondent for some
New York papers. He helped one side and
was rapidly promoted, when suddenly there
was a change in the Ministry, and
he was ordered to be arrested.
He was warned in advance, and managed
by severe driving on horseback across the
country to reach our vessel. When we
stopped at Livingstone Lieutenant and 20
men boarded the vessel and demanded
Millen's arrest. The Captain was a plucky
little fellow and he frankly told them that
rather than see an American citizen ar
rested he would arm all his sailors and
defend him to the last man. General
Millen stood facing the Lieutenant with
revolver in his hand, and dared the LIeuten-
ant to take him at the risk of his life. The
fellow was afraid aud retired with his men
from the steamer. The General escaped.
81 merely relate this second incident to
show how differently the two crews and their
officers acted. could see no reason then to
justify the shooting of Barrundia, and 1
still claim it was rank outrage"

A WANDERING GERMAN
Who Sought a Lodging in the Police Cells
Last Night.

Last Night.
Charles Helling, man about % years of
age, who gave Brauschineig, Germany, as
the place where he first opened his eyes on
this wide wide world. was accommodated
with a lodging at the Twenty-eighth ward
station, last evening. According to his
own story, he is traveller, but not so of mis-
own will.
Herr Helling is the son of his father, SO
he said, and his progenitor is the owner of a
carriage factory in the above mentioned
town. He worked for some time in the fac
tory, but didn't like it. He wanted to see
the world, and so happening across liberal
translation of Horace Greeley's advice in a
local bookstore, he determined to act on it.
He came West in a vessel which landed him
at Baltimore. Roaming far from the wharf
he lost his bearings, and when he found
them again his ship had sailed.
He then started on a weary pilgrimage
over the country. living anyhow, and finally
found his way to Pittsburg and lodging in
the police cells for the night Herr He'll
ing's private opinion of Horace Greeley is
stated to have undergone a change, and he
was even heard to remark that this country
is not what It is cracked up to be.

And Banquet, at Which Goodly Number
Enjoyed Themselves.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
instituted a new lodge at Benefits. last
night. 1t starts with membership of 20
p. & w. men. The grand master
j. j. Hannahan oficiated at the init1atory
ser vices. W. B. Delo, one of the best
known railroaders in this section, was in
strumental in bringing the requisite num-
ber of cnarter members together.
Afterwards the occasion was celebrated by
a banquet in the Hotel Flocker. Mr..
Flocker was equal to the occasion and well
satisfied the 120 guests by the style and
quality of his entertainment. Mr.. Hanna
han and Mr.. j. r. Devlin, who was
delegate to the Engineers Conven-
tioD, made appropriate speeches. Not
a little merriment was occasioned by the un-
explained appearance in Mr.. Hannahan's
lap of particularly good-looking turkey,
and of course everybody wanted to know if
he intended taking the next train for home.
A very enjoyable evening was spent, and
William FIocker complimented on his ar
rangemenls.

DEMANDS OF INCREASED TRAFFIC.
Freight Facilities Greatly Crowded at the
East Liberty Railroad Station.

Freight Facilities Greatly Crowded at the
East Liberty Railroad Station.
The great pressure of traffic upon the
Pennsylvania Railroad at East Liberty has
again given rise to rumors in that quarter of
intended enlargement for freight purposes.
The building up of the East End as the resi-
dence portion Of the city has greatly altered
the situation i'll respect to freight facilities.
Though two sidings extend from East
Liberty as far as Dallas, they are not
enough to accommodate the daily pressure
of local consignments of freight Some
times the consignee has to wait for two or
three days after the freight arrives at East
Liberty before the freight can be unloaded.
AS this business will grow, with the East
End section so rapidly growing up, it is
supposed that the railroad must eventually
greatly extend its yards.
The old report about the possible removal
of the passenger station to the neighborhood
of Shady Lane bridge has again recently
been revived. What there is in it no out
slider knows. What seems to be conceded is
that the enormous business OF the road will
ultimately compel some kind of a shift with
a view OF getting more room.

lish discounts of so and per cent for car
load lots, IS, 10 and 5 per cent for less
quantities, witTa rebate system for the pro-
lection Of the jobbers and wholesale buyers

A CHINESE OFFICIAL.
Mr. Acheson Gives the Yellow Mongolian a
Good Send OFF.

Mr.. Acheson Gives the Yellow Mongolian a
Good Send Of.
James Acheson, of China, registered at
the Anderson last evening. He is employed
in the civil service along the coast, engaged
in collecting the customs, and is off on a
leave of absence. He has several friends
living in Pittsburg, and came here to see
them.
Mr.. Acheson is an admirer Of the heather
Chinee, and he doesn't think it is fair for
Americans to exclude them after they had
been invited and built the railroads in the
West. Naturally the feeling against Amer
leans is reciprocated. He says the Mongo-
lians are bright, and every Mongolian can
read and write. They do about 60 per
cent of their trade with England, and
the bulk of the balance goes to Germany,
Russia and some other European countries.
In China every man has chance, and some
of their ablest politicians have come from
the lower ranks. He frankly admitted that
only those from the common classes migrate
to America, and these are the people Uncle
Sam doesn't want.
