THE WAR STILL ON.

No Let-Up as Yet in the Sunday Oil Well
Pumping Controversy-A Rural Consta-
ble's Long and Useless Day of Watching.
The contest between the Sabbatarians and
those who believe that the pumping
of some oil wells on Sunday is
necessity, is still raging with more
or less violence, generally speaking, more.
Last Sunday there were eight wells pumped
all day, but only one case of attempted ar
rest reported. This was that of the original
infractor. on the Graham farm. Somewhere
In the engiue-house sat the unregenerate
driller, but he was silent and sad.
though his smile was sweet, and the
chinks of the house were so well
battened that a law and order constable could
see nothing inside even through "double-mull-
ion magnifying glasses of hextra powers"
Whether the pumper was provisIoned for a
siege and a sleepless man. or there were differ
ept watches. the constable could not discover,
and confronting an audacity that dared defy
the sword of the Lord and Gideon was enough
to make a constable weakened, especially in
front of placard posted on the engine house

IMPROVEMENTS COMPLETED.
Resume of the Repairs Made at Various
Mills This Season.

A Resume of the Repairs Made at Various
Mills This Season.
The new improvements and repairs around
blast furnaces and iron mills will soon be COM
Dleted. Next week one of the new Mononga-
hela blast furnaces is to be blown in, and be-
fore the end of the year the other one will be
put in blast. Before the end of this month the
new Isabella No. will be lighted up, and about
the middle of next month those out of blast for
refining will be ready for casting again.
These are the Soho, which was blown in as a
new furnace the middle of November 1885, and
Isabella No. !, which had been casting right
along on lining since August ], 1855. Be-
sides these all the other furnaces are in blast.
Twenty one are casting about 8, 800 tons day.
and with those now out of blast, when casting.
the amount will then be from, 26 furnaces,
1850 tons.
The number of furnaces added to the iron
and steel mills this year and last, by all ex-
cepting one firm, has been less than any year
since 1854. So far as pudding furnaces were
concerned only eight new ones were put up
this year. Spang, Chalfant & Go. put up a
new department for making wrought iron
pipes from eight up to sixteen inches in dame
ter. In the steel mill of Howe, Brown q Co.
the foundation for new steam hammer was
laid nearly year ago. but the hammer has not
yet been placed.
The Wayne Iron and Steel Works at Tenth
street is to be enlarged by the erection of q
new converting department and to the pud-
ding forge of q furnaces three new ones are
to be built. The Bessemer mill at Homestead
was enlarged with seven new converting fur
naces to which some more new ones are to be
added. The cost for the new improvements at
this mill in the last year has been nearly $780,
900 and to the mill at Twenty-ninth street
a new set of three-hlgh train of bar rolls in
stead of the old two-high set and q new heat
ing furnace have recently been built.

GLORYING IN PATTIS0N.

A Big Meeting of Allegheny Democrats Who
Show How Glad They Are That He Was
Elected-A Letter From the Governor
Elect.
The Democrats of the Third, Fourth and
Seventh wards of Allegheny held jollif-
cation meeting last night on Chestnut street.
The hall was packed with people, and they
were all enthusiastic Democrats. During
the speeches the names of Pattison and
Cleveland and Tilden were repeatedly
cheered.
Frank Fertig presided and there was a
long list OF Vice Presidents, headed by John
]. Wolf. The first speaker was Charles F. Nc

that ever threatened free people. The people,
however, have triumphed, and triumphed
gloriously, and all good citizens have equal cause
When the letter had been read Mr.. McKenna
continued his speech He argued that 20 man,
or set of men. could stand up and tell the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania just how they should vote.
Beyond that he said that the recent elections in
the State showed that it was in the Democratic
line for 1882 Mr.. McKenna insisted that the
better thing for the Democrats was to organize
first-cass club in Allegheny.
At this point Colonel Danks was called for,
but instead of making a speech he led tine audi.
ence in singing Marching Through Georgia
Then. as a windup. he said that his grandfather
had voted for Andrew Jackson, and that he
had followed in his footsteps by voting the

County Commissioner, spoke for about five
minutes. On the heels of his talk the Presi
dent of the meeting suggested that Pattison

A Committee Appointed to Inquire Into the
Feasibility of New Department-High
School Overcrowdcd - Several New
Teachers Allowed.
At the meeting of the Central Board OF
Education last night a committee was ap-
pointed to inquire into the advisability of
establishing an intermediate grade between
the ward schools and High Schools. This
action was taken on resolution by Mr..
Trash, Chairman of the Visiting Committee
for last month. He deems the matter prime
necessity. The committee has instructions to
report at the next meeting of the board the
number of such schools it may be desirable to
establish. the probable cost, and the necessary
legislation to secure the same.
A resolution was passed on the death OF
DR.. s. N. Benham, who had been mem-
ber of the board since 1888. Superintend-
ent Luckey reported 64l teachers and N,778
pupils Secretary Reisfar reported the amount
of the months warrants to be $40, Isl On. The
report of the principal of the High School

Superintendent Rugg Says Street Car Con-

Newspapers have caused another war on the
Citizens Traction Com pany's lines. Two news
boys in uniform have the paper privileges of
the line. Yesterday Superintendent Rugg no.
tilted the boys that if they sold another paper
to any OF the employees of the line their prvl-
leges would be forfeited. He also notified the
men that he would discharge any man who
bought newspaper. Besides this he posted a
notice to this effect at the main office.
The men claim the order is an outrage. They
say it is evidently intended to keep conductors
from reading on the road. This they claim is
impossible for conductors, as they are 90 busy,
but as they have a wait of almost 20 minutes at
the end of each run they can then find out what
the world is doing. Most of the men live along
the road and when they leave of their break
fast buckets the paper is left with it for their
families. The men claim they have right to
read the paper when they do no! use the time
of the company. Some of the men threaten to
make fight on this ISSUE

TREssPAssING FORBIDDEN
PENALTY OF DEATH.
UNDER

1t is said the representative of the law abode
in the vicinity all day. and then went to Cora
opolis for reinforcements, but when he re-
turned the day was no longer Sunday. and the
man in charge was childlike and bland and
having to all appearance gone to work after
midnight it was not safe to arrest him.
This settled this case, but why seven other
wells that is the number reported, were
planned. Probably the work on them was ad-
mitted to be one of necessity. Some of them
were within short distance of
the sanctuary. The matter is the
subject of much interest in the vicinity of For
est Grove. but one seemed to know whether
legal proceedings were to follow, and Willis F.
McCook, ESQ.,. counsel for the former pumper,
on the Graham farm, was retlcent.

Mr.. Halliday Says Prices Were Advanced to

Colonel George v. Halliday, Commissioner of
Customs, returned to Washington last evening.
Mr.. Halliday says the small dealers throughout
the country are responsible for the last cleo
tion. He says they put up the price of goods
unnecessarily. ana used the Mckinley bill as a
cloak. Cigars that the Government stamp
showed were bought before the bill went into
effect were sold for 10 cents apiece when the
old rate two for quarter. The same
thing he states, is true of shoes, when the
only advance in this line made by the new
tariff is the thirty-secOnd part of a cent.
The rate of duty was advanced slightly on
wooden and linen goods but not enough to
make much difference In the price. Mr.. Halli-

SEWERAGE OF THE soUTHsIDE.
Much Interest in the Question in That
Part OF the City.

Much Interest in the Question in That
Part OF the City.
DR.. G. B. Sweeney. of Allentown, is one of
the public spirited citizens who is very much
interested in the sewer question. He says that
to the lack of sewers or imperfect sewerage is
due a great share of the ill-health and spread
of disease germs. He has been especially in
terested in this question, as Allentown, live
section of the city, is growing very fast,
and the placing of sewers has not
kent pace with other improvements. There
have been many cases of typhoid fever and
other epidemic diseases in the hill district: how
far they can be traced TO lack of sewerage is
hard to ascertain; but true it is that lack of
sewerage does breed disease. The doctor says
tnat many diseases are spread by families using
water from wells that have been contaminateC
with the soakings from sewers.
The question OF the disposal OF sewage is a
hard problem. London sells her sewage to
farmers who use it liquid fertilizer. The
zoe is carried to the country in pipes. and
--ibuted on the land the same as helds
