A RELIC OF YE oLDEN TIME
Received by III. J. Heinz From the Famil,
Homestead in Bavaria

Received by III. J. Heinz From the Family
Homestead in Bavaria.
H. J. Heinz has received from Bavaria a
very curious and massive stone seat, or pew,
the arms of which are quantity carved and
bear the date 1899" Mr.. Heinz and his
son Clarence, when travelling in Europe
lately, slept in an upper room OF the ancient
Heinz homestead, a house still occupied by
members OF the family. A fine photograph
of this ancient mansion shows substantial,
roomy stone structure, with high, peaked
gable. On the right a wide arched gateway
leads into courtyard. and through that
into vineyard. Over the doorway of the
court is the date 1883"
Kahlstadt, the location Of the family
homestead, is an old town near the Rhine,
in the Rhenish Palatinate, some % miles
from Worms, the famous city TO which
Luther was summoned by the enraged
Ecclesiastics Close by is Durknelm, q
town of 5000 inhabitants, noted tor its vine
yards and FOR lis Grape Cure" which at
tracts many visitors.
The heavy old stone seat, having done
duty Tor nearly 300 wears at Kahlstadt, has
been placed outside the side entrance TO Mr..
Heinz's residence in about the same position
it occupied in its German home. 1t weighs
300 pounds As very curious and ancient
piece of furniture, it will no doubt be re-
garded with great interest.

RIVAL RAIL MAKERS.
The Duquesne Mill May Pass Into the
Hands of the CarnegieS,
OWING TO THE KEEN COMPETITION.
Blacksmiths Meet for the Purpose of
Forming a Union.
TELEGRAPHERS TO HOLD A MEETING

1t was believed in iron trade circles, yes
terday, that the publication in the Iron Age
regarding the sale of the Allegheny Bes-
semer Steel Company's plant, was little
ahead of time, but that while the sale may
not have actually been effected, that nego-
tlations to that end are on foot.
In connection with the assumed extension
of the Carnegie interests, which reduces
their competitors on this side of the Allie
ghenies to the Cambria Iron and Steel Com
pany, at Johnstown, and the Illinois Steel
Company, at Chicago the extensive prepa-
rations of the Pennsylvania Steel Company,
for the erection OF rail plant at Sparrow
Point, Nd, are noteworthy. Ihe
plans for this mill are now be-
ing drawn by Mr.. Henry Aiken,
the mechanical engineer of the Lewis Block.
These have progressed SO far as to show that
the rail plant at Sparrow Point will be OF
such extent as TO leave the Edgar Thomson
and Chicago mills very much behind; as
much In point of economy in working as in
the rapidity with which the rails will be
turned out
Both the Chicago and Duquesne mills are
recognized as having an ad santage over the
Edgar Thomson mill in point of more mod
ern machinery; but the whole three will
have a severe competitor in the Pennsyl-
vania Steel Company when once it gets into
active operation. Such, at least, would ap-
pear from the character of the plant about to
he put down at Sparrow Point and the IA
vorable position of the works for reaching
the Southern markets, where the bulk of the
rails are now finding their way.

SOVERElGNS OF INDUSTRY.
The Grand Council Will Take No Action
Against Their Defauiting Treasurer-A
New Code of Laws Submitted-Nomina-
ton of Officers,

The Grand Council Will Take No Action
Against Their Defauiting Treasurer-A
Now Code of Laws Submitted-Nomina-
ton of Officers.
The Grand Council of the Soyereigns of
Industry met last evening in the Moorhead
building. The quarterly reports showed
that the organization has made considerable
progress since the last meeting. The total
membership now numbers S,SS7, aud the
balance in the treasury, with bills paid,
amounts to 81, ,264 55.
It was expected that some action would
be taken in reference to the defaulting
drop indefinitely. A committee appointed
some time ago to make general revision
of the laws governing the association re-
ported, submitting an entirely new code of
laws, which was ordered printed and sent
to the various subordinate councils for ap-
proyal.
The cooperative plan of the Grand
Presidents, as outlined in detail in The
DISPATCH some time ago, received black
eye. The committee to which the matter
had been referred offered resolution simply
giving the subordinate councils or individual
members o. the organization leave to enter
into the cooperative enterprise. 1t was the
purpose of the Grand President to establish
a general cooperative establishment under
the management Of the Grand Council. The
report of the committee was referred back
for further action.
The following officers were nominated for
the coming term, the election to take place
at the February meeting:
For Grand President, W. n. McCul-
Tough, Principal Of the Thirty-sixth ward
public school, and the present incumbent,
J. D. Buckley, the latter declined; Grand
Vice President, G. Z. Kepple, G. NJ.
Murphy and w. H. Graham; Grand Secre-
tary, Samuel Harper; Grand Treasurer,
Theodore f. Anschutz, and about dozen
Trustees, from which five are to be selected
With the close of the present term the
Grand President, j. D. Buckley, will have
completed his fourth year as the head OF the
organization. He has made faithful and
energetic officer, and his refusal to be a can
didate for reelection was matter of regret
to many members OF the Grand Council.

it on their eye" by the symbolic device OF
each organization over the head of his
ticket. The Republican ticket is headed by
picture of a log cabin with single win
dow and door in front and smoke
curling out of the chimney. Over the
Democratic ticket is picture of the "Her-
aid of Dawn" so dear to every
Democra tic heart, with head and tail erect
immense spurs, and shown in the attitude OF
Growing. Over the Prohibition ticket is the
representation of cannon, with smoke
emitted at muzzle and touch-hole.
The only fault found with the arrange
ment, so far. is that in very populous voting
districts three booths are not enough, and in
most places but three were provided at the
late election. This objection is easily OBJ
waited.

GRANTED The INJUNCTION.
Judge Ewing Says Mr.. Scott Can't be Kept
Out of His Works.

Judge Ewing Says Mr.. Scott Can't be Kept
Out of His Works.
Judge Ewing filed an opinion yesterday,
in the suit of John f. Scott against Edward
Ford and others, of the Ford Plate Glass
Company, in which Scott asked for an in
junction to restrain the defendants from in
teriering with him in the discharge of his
duties as director, the interference cited
being forcible election from the works and a
refusal to see the books OF the firm. Judge
Ewing granted the injunction, and in his
opinion said the plaintiff as director has
duties to perform which require him to know
the condition of its affairs. The President
or directors have no more right to exclude
him than he has to exclude them. The evil
dence shows that they and the superintend-
ent of the works have undertaken to prac-
tically do so. The right of the plaintiff to
examine into the business is conceded by the
defendants counsel, but it is argued that the
application in the case is for mandatory
Injunction, such as cannot be issued on a
preliminary hearing.
If an order was asked for to undo that
which has already been wrongfully done by
the defendants, or TO compel them to do
something, the objection would be we'll
taken, but in this case the plaintiff s right
is equal to that of the defendants, and all
that is necessary is to compel them in fut-
ure, and their agents, from wrongfully in
terfering with the plaintiff in the exercise of
his rights to examine the books and works
of the corporation of which he is director.

WORSE THAN THE COMPLAINT
Was the Remedy Applied TO a Second Ward
Maltese Cat.

Was the Remedy Applied 20 a Second Ward
Maltese Cat.
Mrs. n. II. Morgan, OF No. 1S3 Second
avenue, has a Maltese cat which is a great
favorite in the family, and one of the senti-
ent ornaments of the Second Avenue Park
on nice DAYS. But Tommy didn't exercise
prudence, and in his saunterings fell among
plebeian ielines, and soon his glossy coat
was infested with feas. This could not be
tolerated, and Mrs. Morgan was told to
spunge Tommy's fur with kerosene, or lamp
oil. She did so, and the result is fraught
with grief to large circle Of Tommy's ad-
mirers. He is probably the sorest cat in
the Second ward, or in any other ward in
the city. His cutIcle is SO greatly abbTe-
waited that he cannot stretch himself, ard
had Job been so sore, ne would not have
scraped himself with potsherd.
The cat is evidently conscious that he has
the sympathy of his bi-pedal friends, but
that doesn't prevent him from caterwauling
with desperate energy whenever he thinks
any of them show disposition to caress
him. Though the feas are gone, Mrs Nor
gan is not inclined TO indorse the remedy,
AID certainly Tommy isn't.

III BUSINESS FOR THEMSELVES.
Beer Wagon Drivers Bottle Beer Belonging
to Their Employer.

Beer Wagon Drivers Bottle Beer Belonging
to Their Employer.
Officer Peoples yesterday arrested Fred
Frowis,ky, Otto Kneppler and Joseph
Mechler on warrants charging them with
larceny. The prisoners are drivers for
George Schmidt, agent for beer brewing
firm. Schmidt has been losing large
quantity OF beer for a long time. Several
weeks ago he reported the matter to Inspector
McAleese, who, after investigating, in
formed Schmidt that ne was being robbed
by some OF his own men, as careful watch
ing failed to prove any outsiders connected
with it.
One feature of the case was that many of
the barrels of beer delivered by Schmidt g
drivers was found to be flat when it
reached the customers.
Officer Peoples has been investigating the
case lately. On Wednesday night he saw
three men in Schmidt's establishment after
clerks and proprietor had gone home. He
watched them and saw them opening bar
rels of beer and filling about eight or ten
gallons from each barrel into bottles, which
they packed into cases. The barrels were
then closed up again and loaded on the
wagons. The officer reported his discovery
to Schmidt, who at once Investigated and
found that his dishonest drivers were deliv-
ering these cases of beer to speak-easies and
collecting the money, which they appropri-
ated to their own uses. Then Schmidt
called Inspector McAleese in and suits were
entered. The charge of larceny was pre-
ferred, and the three men were arrested.
They are in Central station and will have a
hearing tomorrow.

SENTENCED TO DEATH.
FRANK GERADE TO SWING FOR KILLING
HIS STEPDAuGHTER.

Judge Magee Refuses Him a New Trial
The Solemn Words Spoken-A Long
Deferred Sentence at Last Given Out
Other Criminal Court Matters.
In the Criminal Court yesterday Frank
Gerade was sentenced to be hanged. The
sentence was imposed by Judge Magee, who
at the opening Of court, overruled the mo-
ton for a new trial made in the case.
Gerade was then brought from Jail, and
District Attorney Johnston moved for judg-
ment. When Judge Magee asked if he had
anything to say, Gerade replied, through an
interpreter, that he never knew anything
about the trouble until after he was in Jail,
when his brother told him what he had
done Judge Magee then imposed the sem
tence of death. directing that the prisoner
be hanged at such time as the Governor by
his warrant may appoint. The prisoner
was then led back to Jail
Gerade's crime was the killing of his
S-year-old stepdaughter, whom he disliked,
| by picking her up by the heels ard dashing
| her bransseut against q cradle. A plea OF
| insanity was made, hut two juries passed on
| the matter and found Gerade to be sane.
John ParaGine, who was convicted OF in
| voluntary mansaughter for the death of DR..
Campbell the LaWrenceVllle morse DOCTOR,
was fined $500 aud costs, the court thinking
the time Paradine spent in Jail imprison-
ment enough.
| Mandus Bossan, who was convicted three
years ago of selling liquor without license,
was sentenced nine months to the work
house. Bossan was steward of the Wash
ington Irvine Literary Society, but the jury
found that more liquor than literature was
| dispensed, and accordingly found Bossan
guilty. He jumped his bail and disappeared,
but returning home short time ago, he was
rearrested and sentenced yesterday.
Matthew Dougherty, for aggravated as
sault and battery, was sent six months to
the workhouse. Annie Leyden, for assault
and battery, was sent "a hours to the work
house. Henry Vogle, for aggravated assault
and battery, was sent one year to the work

as AN EDUCATOR.

Owners of the Gettysburg CycIorama Think
tia Great Scheme.
The owners of the Cyclorama Battle of
Gettysburg have hit upon a novel plan of
dlsposing of their elephant. They propose
that the schools of the two cities take the
picture and use it for the general education
OF the schools in history. Prof. Morrow
was seen by one of the officers of the COM
pany yesterday and he rather liked the
scheme.
This was talked of by the Board of Edu-
cation in other cities, but the cost was so
great that it would be impossible to put out
the money. Such picture would cost S7O,-
600 to paint, but this one can be had at a
great sacrifice.
The date of the sale of the picture has
been changed on account of the date set
being Thanksgiving. 1t will probably be
sold on Wednesday, December 3.

Judge Ewing's Opinion of a Picking Houses
Label-Work.


LabeI-Work.
Judge Ewing yesterday handed down an
opinion in the equity suit of Heinz Brothers
against Lutz Brothers. The parties are both
in the picking and preserving business,
and the suit was brought to restrain the de-
PENDANTS from using label on their goods
like the one used by the plaintiffs. Judge
Ewing, in his opinion, said that, while
there are several palpabie differences in the
labels, there are also several things in which
they are similar.
''To put the case mildly" ne added, sit
would indicate a lack OF versatility in the
artist who got up the stock labels for the de-
PENDANTS, so as not to resemble that of the
plaintiffs. But there are facts in dispute
which should be settled by testimony before
any decree is made" In conclusion, he re-
fused the motion for preliminary injunc-
