SETTLED THE STRIKE.
SPEEDY SOLUTION OF THE CLOTHING
HOUSE TROUBLE.

After Being Out of Work for Five Days the
Statesmen Get Nearly All They Went
After Compromise Effected as to
Christmas Eve.
The Building Trades Council has been
successful in bringing about a settlement Of
the salesmen's strike. Committees repre-
senting the council and the Salesmen's As
sembly had an all-day conference with the
store proprietors yesterday at the Hotel
Schlosser, with the result that the merchants
practically yielded all the demands put forward
by the assembly in its new scale.
The statesmen conceded one holiday, and fur
ther agreed to work on Christmas Eve until IL
o'clock, if they were allowed to close at 7:3O
o'clock instead of o'clock through that week.
The main point, that OF closing the stores one
hour earlier on Saturdays, was acceded to,
1t was agreed last night that the proprietors
would not have SO soon abandoned their posi-
tion If 1t had not been for the backing given
the salesmen by the Trades Council and other
organizations. That the organizations at large
readily acquiesced in a movement for the
shortening of the salesmen's hours is regarded
as an outcome of the geneIa al feeling In that re-
gard pervading labor bodies.
A direct result from this sentiment will be
more vigorous warfare on the part of organiZa-
tions against stores which do not employ union
men and handle non-union made goods This
is stipulation made by the store-keepers, and
1t is has been recognized as fair one. So far
from the storekeepers concerned in the strike
being affected by their tilt with the labor
bodies. they will profit, oy the additional
amount of trade which will be thrown into their
hands through this sentiment. A united move
ment against non-union employees and non-
union stores is well on foot, and the merchants
and traders who are perspicacious enough to see
the trend of events will be the earliest to profit
by it

1T WAIVED VERY SUDDENLY.
An Eloping Couples Honeymoon Cut Shor
by the Brides Father.

by the Brides Father.
Mr. and Mrs. G. II. Mitchell and Mr.. A. c.
Shell-the latter the father of the lady-formed
an interesting trio which boarded the Eastern
express last evening. And thereby hangs an
elopement story.
1t was far away in Norwich Town, Conn.,,
young Mitchell-for he hiss not yet reached
beautiful daughter of. Mr.. Shell. He desired
to make her his wife forthwith. To this little
arrangement the lady was not averse. But the
author of her being" as Micawber would have
said, could not see it in the same light. He was
importuned, and his refusal only became the
stronger. But the young couple were not to be
denied: they were In love; they wanted to be
one, and when they could not get consent to their
union they took it and an early train to Jersey
City, where the knot was duly tied.
Thence they came West on honeymoon trip,
and arriving here on Wednesday morning put
up at the house of a relative near Sharpsburg
But alas! for the success of the little trip and
were recognized in passing through Philadei-
phia, and message to the father in Norwich
quickly gave him the necessary clew to their
whereabouts. He left in hot pursuit of the
runaway couple and vowng vengeance on
young Mitchell. He arrived in the city yester-
day. He was wroth: opened fire with all the
heavy guns at an outra ged parents command,
and spoke mighty WORDS. The eloping couple
produced the marriage certificate and the guns
were silenced. The enemy capitulated and the
honeymoon waned simultaneously. And now
the father, his fiighty daughter and ner youth
full husband are wondering why it is that those
are these.

WILL HAVE PLENTY OF GAS.

The Philadelphia Company Turns the Fuel
Into Its New 36-Inch Main-Pittsburg
and Allegheny Consumers to Have All
They Want.
The new 36-inch natural gas main of the
Philadelphia Company. on Second avenue,
has been completed, and the gas was turned
on last night The main, which has been
in the course of construction for a consld-
erable time, taps the Bellevernon gas fields,
and the officers of the company nave always
contended that when it was finished there
would be no further complaint on the part Of
consumers of a deficient supply of gas.
The Importance of this connection was never
more fully recognized than during the recent
gas famine in Pittsburg and Allegheny.
People who were out of patience and who suf-
fered much inconvenience through the falling
OFF or total stoppage of the fow were assured
that they would have no cause for complaint
when the new main was in operation.
Superintendent Wilcox said last night that
there would be no more Erumbling about
shortage of supply, or defect In pressure, as the
new main would not only furnish all the gas
abundant supply for the Allegheny Heating
Company, which draws its gas from the pipes
of the Philadelphia Company.
The main from the Bellevernon field will also
supply gas in sufficient quantities for the use of
the rolling mills. SO that they can run on full
instead of half time. Connections have been
made with this main at Laughlin to the Con.
tinental Tube Works and the Elba Iron and
Steel Company's plant.

encouragement in our power. A good warm
greeting here will speed them on their way
across the continent. As personal friends Of
Mr.. Gladstone and British members of Parlia-
ment, we certainly owe them some considera-
tion. The ridiculous reports that their splendid
receptions in the East are due to a desire on
the part of politicians to catch the Irish vote
are Just so much nonsense. The receptions are
given to them because they are well worthy Of
them. If Mayor Gourley will consent to call
meeting, and thus set the ball rolling, have
little doubt that the success OF the reception
idea will be assured. only wonder
that the project was not started sooner, but
suppose that the recent exciting elections
drove almost everything else out OF the heads
OF our public men. should be very sorry TO
think that Pittsburg was going to fail in co1rt-
esy, and allow Boston. Philadelphia and Chica-
go to outdo her in friendliness to these patriots,
who ask nothing but our friendship for a coun-
try in whose endeavors for freedom we must
all be interested, This welcome should not
merely come from people of the Irish race. The
members are already sure OF greeting from
their kin, over here; but they expect quite as
good reception from the other races OF tnls
most composite of nations.
THE MAN FOR THE PLACE.
Mayor Gourley has already proved his great
powers as an organizer of just such celebrations
as the one proposed. We all remember the
Fourth of July celebration and what success
he made of it. 1 am sure he can do the same
with the proposed reception OF the pilgrims
from green Erin"
W. ]. Bremen, ESQ.,, said: "As an Ameri-
can. born and bred, l can see no possible OBJ
lection to our inviting the Irish members TO
Pttsburg In point of fact, l regard it as our
duty to tender them such an invitation, and
give them big reception in the bargain. The
movement should originate with the Mayor
and the bulk of the citizens, rather than with
the people of Irish descent. This should not
be an exchange of civIlities between people OF
the same race. but rather an expression OF
sympathy and fellowship between two distinct
nations"
Other notable people were interviewed on
the reception project and not single dissen-
tient voice was heard while the plea was every
where greeted with chorus of commendation.

Headache a Reflex of Weak Ewes.

Many suffer from headache, but few find
out the cause, but every day suffer the
same. That all are suffering from the same
cause is impossible; that large proportion
are suffering from the defects OF refraction-
weak Sights demonstrated by the daily
experience of the oculist. Recently lady
from Somerset county who had had head
ache and pain in the eyes for two years, was
entirely relieved by the proper correction of
her focusing power. Her defect had been
visular and the glasses had to be made
expressly for her. Another from Greene
county was wholly unable to do her share of
work from the incessant headache, but was
wholly restored by proper glasses. In the
first case a weeks trial without them
brought on all the old symptoms. DR..
Sadler, S04 Penn avenue, finds such cases
frequent and always finds q remedy.

CLUBS Is NOT TRUMP,
But Kleber's Pianos and Organs Are.

But Kleber's Pianos and Organs Are.
The pianos and organs sold by H. Kleber
& Bro. are too good and artistic to be oper-
atcd by means of clubs. They are made to
be played upon by the fingers and hands of
ladies and children, and by artists. People
who insist on using clubs need not apply at
Kleber's for the grand pianos of Steinway,
Conover, Gabler, Opera, etc., are too far
above the vulgar level of club playing. If
YOU desire music to cheer the heart, elevate
the spirit, refine the feelings, and delight
the listener, buy one of Kleber's frst-class
instruments and possess joy forever. The
Klebers sell, also, on time payments, S25
down and $40 monitor So so a week.
The old trusted house of H. Kleber & Bro,
5O6 Wood street, has the preference over ali
Others, and hence sells three-fourths of all
the instruments disposed of in this section
of country.

II. H. Bengough was feeling very cheerful
yesterday at the prospect of his speedy ap-
pointment as Pension Agent to succeed Captain

President will make the appointment to-day.
His chief clerk will be II. D. Rolfe son of
the junior member of the firm of Sweat &
Rolfe, Southside iron men.
Mr.. Bengough said: MY appointment is
chiefly due to the fraternaI interest taken in
me by tho members of the 6. A. R., many of
whom have put themselves to great personal
inconvenience to further my cause. feel es-
pecially pleased to think that my appointment
has not become entangled with the recent elec-
tion issues l am indorsed both by Senator
Quay and Congressman DalZell'
Mr.. Bengough was born on Penn avenue on
June l6, lS45. of English parentage. and is
printer. When l6 years old he enlisted in Com

Increasing Necessity of a New City Hall in
Allegheny.
Mayor Wyman, of Allegheny, said yesterday
that something must soon be done to relieve the
crowded condition of City Hall. The depart
ments have no room to work in, and there is no
way in sight of increasing the capacity
The scheme to build an addition TO the City
Hall has hung fire, and many are now of the
opinion that an addition is not what is wanted
They think it would not be advisable, but in
stead the old building should be raZed and a
new one erected, from the ground up. Under
the present status of affairs the authorities fear
that the building scheme cannot be pushed be-
fore another year. In the meantime, it is posi-
BILE that some of the offices may be rearranged,
to use every bit of space TO the best advantage

BUSINESS AND PLEASURE

Considered at a Meeting of the Retail Gro
cers-The Collection of Bad Debts as 1t
is Now Conducted for the
Big Banquet.
The Retail Grocers' Association. of Pitts
burg, met last night at its rooms on Smith
field street. The attendance was larger than
usual, and the meeting was as interesting as
any meeting that has been held lately.
President ODonnell not being present. Vice
President Wittell called the meeting to order
at $40 o'clock.
The reports of the agents to collect bad debts
were highly encouraging The repores showed
a total collection for the two weeks of SlO7 Al.
Mr.. Pat Carroll, of Brownsville avenue, was
then admitted member.
For some time past the association has been
trying TO devise some means of letting grocers
know when to get money that has been COL
lected during the week by the agents. AS a
last resort, the association had postal cards
printed that will be sent to all grocers to whom
money is due, telling them to call and collect
such money at the meeting OF the association
Thursday November 20, at O'Clock. The
postals will be sent out this week. To those
who are not able to come to collect their money
the agents will visit and pay their amount over
to them Other important business was then
transacted, after which the meeting adjourned
to form itself into the banquet meeting.
The meeting on the banquet was called to
order by Mr.. Charters. The committee re-
ported that it had secured Turner Hall as the
place OF holding the banquet The music has
been secured and the tickets and invitations
ordered printed. Mr.. Charters then suggested
that d special banquet meeting be held on
Wednesday evening November l., at o'clock,
in the association rooms. to take final action in
regard to the banquet that will be held Decem-
Der II.
The arrangements for the banquet are elab-
orate. and it will likely be one of the most sue
cesstul affairs ever held by the grocers. The
hall will be beautifully decorated with flowers
and plants. The Royal Italians will furnish the
music. The grand march will take place early
in the evening, when the grocers will form in
line, marching l6 abreast. They will march up
the center of the hall. Hon. II. /. Gourley will
deliver the address of welcome, and 2. F.
Smith, of the Pennsylvania Grocer will re-
spond in behalf of the grocers. Tue tickets
will sell for s., which will include admission
and supper for lady and gentleman.

Patton's shortage was discovered.
The Grand Council meets tomorrow evening
but although Patton says he is home for the
purpose of abiding by the consequences, it Is
not likely that anything will be done. Patton

it is not thought any criminal action will be
brought against him.
