course, still remain in the Knights in
mixed assembly. Mr.. Elliott said that a
similar fight was on in New York, Balti-
more, Rochester and other towns. In each.
each organization had its own shops.
Mr.. Thompson said that they looked for
harmonious convention. !. The difference
which was mentioned in The DIsPArCH
as existing between two local unions was
personal one, and not Of any serious import.
There always had been more or less jealousy
between the Allegheny and Pittsburg locals.
The convention, owing to the important
business to be brought up before it, would
last four or five days. The organization was
only four years old, but its member
ship was steadily increasing. There were
175 locals over the country, and the reason
why they we're not represented was because
they were still Young and the financial
question was as yet an important one.
These were content to allow the others to
legislate for them, especially as no law
could be made or altered without a two
thirds vote of the whole body of members.

SELLING THE FARM.
THE DEPARTMENT OF AWARDS TO SET
TIE THE MATTER TO-DAY.

A Good Offer for the Property-Carnesfe
Brothers & Co. VIII Not Raise ON TheiE
Bid-A Real Estare Man Who Thinks the
Price II Too High.
The Department of Awards will meet this
morning to transact some important busi-
ness, among it being the sale of the old Poor
Farm and the purchase of new site. It is
probable that Black & Baird's bid Of $432,
900 for the old Poor Farm will be accepted,
and that the Stewart property at Parnassus.
which is offered at S1s6,0O0, will be pur-
chased for the new location.
Mayor Gourley has arrived at the conclu-
sion that Black & Baird's bid is fair one,
and in this view he is supported by Vice
President W. L. Abbott, of the firm OF
Carnegie Bros. & Co. Mr.. Abbott, In
speaking of the matter, said that the opinion
Of his firm on the value of the property was
best expr essed by their bid of S417, 900.
They had offered all they thought it was
worth, and if the bids were reopened they
would not increase the amount Mr.. Alb
bott said that only portion Of the property
would be suited to manufacturing purposes,
and they already had from 10 to IA acres OF
unoccupied land adjoining the Homestead
works. The firms offer for the farm was
not, made with view to meeting immediate
wants, but with an eye to the future and the
probable growth of the works.
Mr.. A. w. Mellon, OF Mellon & Sons,
thinks the bid is too high. He was asked
by Black q Baird to join with them in the
bid, but after an examination he declined,
because he did not think there would be
much profit in the deal. This conclusion
he arrived at flor in va All ooti tho r,rire of

STABBED HIS FATHER
A Young Man Resents a Beating
Given by His Parent,
AND A MURDER NEARLY RESULTS.
The Forgiving Father Begs That His Son
be Released From Jail.
SOME OTHER. SERIOUS DISTURBANCES

Magistrate Succop, of the Southside, went
to the Lotus Camp, Erie, Saturday, and ar
ranged with Magistrate Gripp to hold the
regular Sunday morning hearings in his
district. When Judge Gripp arrived at the
Twenty-eighth ward station house yesterday
morning he found awaiting his considera-
ton cutting affray that lacked little of re-
sulting in murder. The affair occurred
about o'clock Sunday morning.
The prisoner was John Vasouth. He had
stabbed his father Truman Vasouth, in the
forehead, cutting large vein that almost
resulted in death from loss of blood.
The son and his young wife have for
some time been living in the same house
with young Vasouth's parents, on South
Twenty-eighth street. The young man said
that his parents did not seem to realize that
be was not boy, but his own master, and
treated him with harshness bordering on
brutality.
KNOCKED DOWN BY HIS PA.
A little after u o'clock Saturday night,
the young man says, his father attacked him
while in the latter's house. His fathers
blow felled him to the floor. His mother
entered the room at that moment and struck
her son blow on the head with beer
glass. When he saw that both were beating
him he drew his pocket knife and stabbed
blindly. The blow struck his father in the
forehead.
The blood flowed freely, and the old man
fell to the floor in swoon. The daughter
in-law hurried for "a doctor. When DIR.
Mennig arrived he said the wound was seri-
ous, and if the flow OF blood had been left
unchecked five minutes longer death would
have resulted.
An hour after the hearing the wounded
man persisted in being taken to the station
house by his wife and the two asked that the
charge against their son be withdrawn. say
ing that they would pay all costs. Their
pleadings were in vain, however, as the
young man had been sent to Jail.
ANOTHER soUTHs1DE ROW.
At about the same time that the above
row was going on, another scene of violence
was being enacted on the South Eighteenth
street extension, in the house occupied by
John Snyder. Snyder had invited a num-
Der OF friends to drink beer with fhIm.
During the evening a fight was started, and
window, and then hustled out his friends.
Andy Snyder, one Of the guests, testified at
the hearing that John Snyder threw him
down some stone steps, breaking his leg and
injuring his back. He is now at the South
side Hospital,
When the officers attempted to place Snv-
der in the patrol wagon, someone threw a
stone, striking Officer Hagerling on the
back of the neck. Three men were arrested
on suspicion Of doing the latter act. Thew
were Nick Cotswory, John Esidor and |
Ennie Groban. At the hearing John Sny- |
der was fined S25 and costs for disorderiy |
conduct, and is now in Jail on the charge of |
assault and battery on Andy SNYDER. The |
three other men were fined So each and |
costs.
