WANT HIGHER WAGES
The Boiler Makers Will Meet To-
Night to Ask for an Advance.

Their Grievances.
THE AMALGAMATED WAGE COMMITTEE

A special open meeting of all boiler
makers employed in Allegheny county has
been called for this evening, to be held in
the hall of L. A. 9681, Fifth avenue. The
purpose OF the meeting is to formulate de-
mand for an advance in wages, to which the
men claim they are entitled. All boiler
makers are invited to attend, without re-
gard to whether they are members of the
knights of Labor or not.
There are several hundred boilermakers
employed in the city, and the majority of
them are paid 50 80 per day. There is de-
partment of the work, that of r1veting, that
requires great skill, and it is claimed good
workmen in this branch, as well as in some
others, are exceedingly scarce. Trade is good,
and skilled work are hard to find The men say
they are not paid the wages in Pittsburg that
similar workmen in other cities get, and they
propose to get union and non-uniOn men to
agree on demand, and present it at once.
Some time ago, when the annual meeting OF
the manufacturers, to be held in New York,
shortly, was announced it was said that one OF
the matters to be considered there was re-
ductlon In the mems wages. James Munro
denied this, saying that so far as he was con-
cerned he favored an increase in wages, out
that 1t was not within the province OF the asso-
citation to which he belonged. to deal in any
manner, with the wage question. however,
what Mr. Munro said. seems to have stirred the
men up and they are determined now to md
out how many of the manufacturers are OF the
same mind as Mr.. Munro, in favor1ng an ad-
vance.
The wages paid in Pittsburg vary from those
paid elsewhere, and the men will make an ef-
fort to have uniform rate established all over
the country. The meeting tonight is expected
to be large one.

Alvin Joslyn Has Elaborate Plans for His
Pittsburg Thsater.
"Alvin Joslyn," Charles L. Davis, who will
build tteaIer in Pittsburg, was in the city
yesterday, examining the plans Of his house
with Mr.. Reid, of Evansville of the firm of
Reid Bros, architects. Alvin was found in the
Anderson, and the architect exhibited the
plans to the reporter. If they are carried out
as designed there will be few finer theaters in
America. The stage will be 55x95 feet and
will be provided with % dressing rooms for
the actors. All these rooms will be located
on the first floor. There will be three tiers in
the house, and Joslyn claims that the ladies'
parlor, on the ground floor, will cost him $4,000
to furnish. He declares he will put S200 COO
into the house. While here Mr.. Reid will ex-
anime the building materials, and they will de-
eide afterward what to use. The ladies' parlor
will be furnished in the olden style. There
will be smoking rooms for the men, large
promenade and an extensive foyer. The house
will be l00I200 feet in dimensions.
One of the strongest and leading features is
the number of exits provided. There will be
70 in all, opening all around the building. Mr..
Davis says he has reserved 80 feet of clear space
on each side of the structure, SO that the peo-
work next April, and the house will be finished
in the fall of 1891 He exhibited number of
contracts made with good people, who will play
in the house, and he says that nothing but the
finest and best will appear on the stage. He
calls tho house the Lyceum Theater of Pitts
burg. ]. NJ. Hyde will be the General Manager
and Charles Gordon Treasurer.

DEATH OF BISHOP o,CoNNoR.

Tho Eminent Divine's Demise Occurs Mt
Omnhn-short Sketch of nm EveutfuI
Life-His Good Work Among the In
dams of Nebraska.
A telegram was received from Omaha YES
terday announcing the death of Rt. Rev.
Bishop O'Connor, Of the diocese of Omaha.
The announcement will no doubt cause
profound feeling of sorrow among the many
friends of the Bishop in this city. for he
cultivated the friendship and respect of NOT
only the Catholics of Pittsburg, but of every
person with whom he came in contact,
James O'COnnor was born September 10 IS23
in Queenstown, County Cork, Ireland. At the
age OF 10 he emigrated to America and took up
his studies incidental to entering the ministry
at st. BorromRum Seminary, near PhiIadei.
phia, which was then under the rectorship of
Father Michael O'Connor, a brother of the do
ceased, who was the first Bishop of Pirtsburg.
In 1872 he went to Rome and entered St. Ur-
bans College, where he completed his studies
and In lS45 was ordained a priest. Two years
later he again returned to this country. and
came to Pittsburg. He was missionary IN
this diocese for seven years. and was then ap-
pointed chaplain of st. Xaviers Academy.
Westmoreland county, and while acting in that
capacity he established the first Catholic
church in the county. In 1857 he was appointed
rector of st. Michaers Seminary, at Gienwood-
which he enlarged and put it in the first rank
ouoTblv alLerWarQ ne sent his resignation
as rector of this seminary to Pope Pins TX
which was accepted. He then entered the or.
der of the Jesuits. in which he intended to re-
main the rest of his life. but he was assigned to
the charge of ST. Domnicus congregation. at
Holmesburg. NJ Y, He built up his congrega-
tion at this point in wonderful manner ard
was then appointed by Pope Plus, Apostolic
Vicar of Nebraska, to succeed Bishop James
O'Gormau, who died while acting as Vicar
He did not at first desire the position. but was
prevailed upon to accept-it, at the urgent
quest of the Pope, and August 20. 1876. he was
created Bishop by Cardinal McCloskey, at
Philadelphia. In 1885 the diocese of Omaha
was included in the Holy See. and James
OConnor was appointed Bishop of the new
diocese. The great good he accomplished
among the Indian tribes of Nebraska will en-
dear him to the memory of the savages, who,
when about to take any decisive steps toward
organizing new colonies or perfecting settle
inents would always seek the advice of the
Bishop. They placed great reliance upon him,
and all questions pertaining to the welfare of
the various tribes would he left for the Bishop
to decide. Throughout Nebraska he founded
many institutions of learning churches and
orphan asylums.
Amid his religious pursuits. the Reverend
Bishop found time to practice his literary
taste, he contributed regularly to number Of
the Catholic papers, and as an orator he was
conceded by all as one of the ablest In the
priesthood.
