A CHURCH WAR SCARE.

Homestead Catholics md Protestnnts Kiss
and Make up All Differences.
The proposed indignation meeting of the
Protestants of Homestead, which it was
rumored was I'd take place last night, did
not materialize, and the danger of a re-
ligious war Vas averted. The statement
that Mr.. Hugh O'Donnell had used his in

Black and James Woods dis
charged froI Carnegie mills because
of the active part by them in the organize
tion of the Loyal Orange Lodge, is not only
denied by MFR. O'Donnell and the manage

themselves
The Loyal Orange lodge organized under
the name of the Homestead Purple Stair
last night but no mention of the rumors
was made in the meeting. A number of the
memberS of the new lodge expressed them

MUST WHACK UP.
The Laws to Collect Vehicle Licenses Will
be Rigidly Carried OUT.

Notices were issued yesterday evening to
the people who have not as yet paid their
vehicle licenses by H. h. Bengough, in
charge of that department. They are rather
imperative in form. as the penalty will be
duly enforced, and after the first Monday in
May any persons found driving vehicle
without license is liable to arrest on sight,
as special officers will be sent out on that
date to find violators of the ordinance.
There are this year, Mr. Bengough said,
about 1900 delinquents, the average
amount, many of whom are rendered so by
mistake. A number of buggy owners, be
said, thought they were not subject to il
cense, imagining that it only applied to
heavy draught wagons. There were some
who sent messengers to the Treasurer's
Office to pay the vehicle license, and the
messenger gave his own name instead of
his employer. This would cause some con-
fusion, but there was yet time to rectify
such errors, and they should be arranged at
once.
Another thing" said Mr.. Bengough,
''is the display of the plates issued to Ii
censed vehicle owners. The ordinance pro-
vides that the plates must be shown at
tached to the vehicle or the harness. Some
people think that ii they are stopped on the
street by a special officer a display Of the
receipt is sufficient to meet the emergency,
but it is not. The innocent have to suffer
for the faults of the guilty, and in years
past we have fined men who had taken out
licenses, carried the receipt for one wagon
and had two or more on the streets. trusting
to luck for the officer to strike the man with
the license. Every vehicle owner on the
streets of Pittsburg not displaying his plate
from this Office is subject to arrest on view
on and after the first Monday in May next,
and the ordinance will be enforced to the
letter of the law"

THE PENNSY'S ANSWER.
The Reading Compauy's Allegations De.
nied-The Latter is Charged With
Not Living Up to Its Agree.
ment TO Arbitrate all
Difficulties,

PHILADELPHIA, April 19.-The Penn
sylvania Railroad Company to-day filed its
answer through its counsel, Mr.. George
Tucker Bispham, to the bill in equity filed
by the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
Company. 1t denies that the President and
other principal officers of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company were members of the
syndicate formed to effect a reorganization,
and that such allegations are un-
true in fact. 1t makes the assertion
that the negotiations were conducted
between the parties interested in the syndi-
cate and the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany and parties representing the Phila-
delphia and Reading Railroad Company
and had their official expression, so far as
relates to the Pennsylvania Company, in
the letter of J. Pierpont Morgan to the
President of the Pennsylvania and, the an
swer thereto, in which was contained the
important and controlling provision that
differences between the two companies
should be submitted to arbitration and not
for the purpose of securing to the former
company the control and management of
latter company, or to make the business of
latter subordinate to the former.
In answer to the bill in the matter of ar
bitration the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany says: IL reference is made to the
attempted revocation of the agreement to
arbitrate, then the defendant cannot say
whether the plaintiff company or its officers
were compelled by force of circumstances
surrounding that company to attempt to
delude the defendants by rendering will
ingness to avoid future friction"
The bill AYERS that the contracts of June
and June IL. 1887, are complete in them
selves, and were SO at the time, and that
said agreement to arbitrate was az all times
regarded as continuing. The defendant
denies that since the execution OF this agree
ment the Reading has endeavored faithfully
to carry out the provisions. The defendant
AYERS that the suggestion that it was ever
contemplated, suggested or intended by the
defendant to put the plaintiff in subser-
Went position to the defendant, is unwar-
ranted by any fact recited in the bill and
utterly at variance with the actual facts.

JACKSONVILLE, April 19.-W. W. Stan
ton. mate of the schooner Addie Schaefer,
now lying at the market house dock, while
fishing for bass 800 miles off st. Augustine,
drew in his line and found entangled there
in the strangest fish, if it is fish,
that has ever been caught. The strange
creature is about six feet long, pure white
and scaleless. The head and face are wOn-
derfully human in shape and feature. The
shoulders are we'll outlined and very much
resemble those of a woman, and the bosom
Is we'll defined and shows considerable de-
velopment, while the hips and abdomen
continue the human appearance. There are
four f1oppers, two of which are placed at
the lower termination of the body and give
one the impression that nature made an
effort to supply the strange creature with
lower limbs.
Mr.. Stanton confesses to quite fright on
first sight of his queer prize, which, on being
drawn on board, gave utterdnce to a low,
moaning cry, which might easily have been
mistaken for the soboing of baby. 1t is
extremely unfortunate that Mr.. Stanton did
not succeed in keeping the creature alive.
which, he thinks, might have been done,
as the strange object lived two days after
heing caught. The schooner has been
thronged all day by curiosity mongers who
express much wonder and astonishment at
the strange object. Mr.. Stanton, after WIS.,
iting several ports and showing his queer
creature, will donate it to the Smithsonian
Institution. The fish or mermaid is in
large six-foot glass jar in alcohol.

PAPPENHEIM GETS A LICENSE
To Marry the Wealthy and Beautiful Miss
Wheeler.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCHi
PHILADELPHIA, April 19.-Count Maxi
milan Albert Pappenheim, who is to marry
Miss Mary Wistar Wheeler, of this city,
applied to-day for marriage license. The
Counts course of procedure was unusual.
According to the laws of his native country,
Bavaria, it is necessary to have the consent
of the guardian of the bride before the
marriage can take place. Miss Wheeler has
no guardian. and consequently needed no
other consent to the marriage than that of
her mother, Mrs. Charles Wheeler, or Susan
Farnum Wheeler, as she is called by the
courts. To make up for the lack of guar
dian, Count Pappenheim prepared papers
appointing Mrs. Wheeler as the guardian of
her daughter for the time.
According to the license, Macmillan
Albert. Count of Pappenheim, was born at
Pappenheim in Bavaria on the 18th of
February, 1850, and has consequently just
passed his 30th birthday. Miss Wheeler is
Is. The Count before taking the oath took
possession of the Office Bible, which has
sealed the oaths of SO many happy couples.
He then sent out for new Bible for Clerk
Bird.

LONDON, April 19.-To-day is Primrose
Day, the ninth anniversary of the death of
Lord Braconsfeld, and every true Conserve
tive in London, from cabmen and street
sweepers to Cabinet minister and princes,
has the yellow flower in his buttonhole,
while the ladies wear them in great clusters
at their bosous and the statue of
Beaconsfeld in Parliament square is
wreathed and twined beyond the most san
guine hopes of Solomon in all his glory.
Nevertheless conservatism is not happy
Mr.. Goschen's budget has not created en-
thusiasm. 1t is admitted to be well mean
ing, but not heroic.
The consumer will not get the benefit Of
the reduced tea duty, the merchant. middle
man and dealer will get that. The small
householders will rejoice over the lessened
house duty, but the great army of income
taxpayers have no relief. and are sore
accordingly. One of the most inter-
esting points of Goschen's speech was his
assertion that the improved prosperity of
the country had caused a general run upon
the public houses, or liquor saloons, the
consumption o. rum showing the greatest in
. crease. This lRtemDera1ce had given Sc
rious consideration to the Government, and
as result they increased the duty on spirits
6 pence a gallon, an artful dodge
which will bring them in an increased reve-
nue. for next year, while they pose now as
the champions of temperance. The tee
totalers, however are pleased at the idea
that public house licenses are to be re-
stricted, that new ones will not be issued
unless in very special circumstances, and
that many of those in existence will be cam
celed.
On the whole the budget is indicative Of
an intention on the part of the Government
to hold on to Office, for Goschen has framed
the finances for the current year with a view
to another grand surplus next year. and
if he makes a coup then the general
election is certain to follow imme-
diataly. Another interesting statement
by Goschen was that England had paid off
e23 000, 600 from her national debt during
the past three years, and that she is going
on doing so at the rate of about eS, 600. 900 a
year. This is RELEASING a pile OF money for
investment in Other channels, a fact which
American company promoters are not likely
to lose sight of.

deadly mine gas with naked lamps. An ex-
plosion Immediately followed, and Davis
and Jones were badly burned about the face
and hands. The accident is attributed to
the carelessness of the fire boss.
The second accident was of similar ma

haps more seriously than the first. John
Blackum, miner of Minooka, was terribly
burned about the head. His hair was COM

discharged miner. About 500 men are in

Secretary Parker held a conference with
Superintendent McFaddeu, tof the Whitney
Coke Works, last night, relative to
the settlement of the strike at that

the company held that the plant was not in
cluded in the Conneilsville region. Ker-
foot claimed that the men should have Con-
nellsville rates for coke drawing and La
trobe rates for mining, which will probably
be conceded.
The miners have turned to work. The

An Allegheninn Causes Surprise and Gets

Himself Into Trouble.
A man who gave his name as James
Dougherty was arrested last evening by Po-
liceman Canning, of Allegheny, at the cor
ner Of Grant avenue and Rebecca street.
He is man of about 80 years,
small and smooth-faced. He was
caught walking, in his stocking
at that corner, and was unable to explain
his conduct to the satisfaction of the
police. The people living in that imme-
diate neighborhood said that a man
had been seen ON that housetop on
several evenings, and they believed
him to be the man who was arrested last
night. Complaint had been made two or
three times to Officer Canning, but on the
former occasions he had been unable to
catch the night prowler.
Next door to Richey's residence a new
house is building, and to the men on the
patrol wagon Dougherty said that he was
building that new house. He said that he
was up on the adjoining house pacing.
off the roof dimensions, in order that
he might figure on roofing materials.
This failed to convince the officers, who had
heard OF his nocturnal perambulations,
Dougherty said that he was workman for
the Westinghouse Air Brake Company.
He has lived in Allegheny for several
years, is the head of family, and person.
ally has heretofore possessed good reputa-
tion. He was not intoxicated, and acted as
if perfectly sane, although he exhibited
rather hilarious nervousness in tie station
house.
After he was put into cell several friends
called to see him, men of eminently respect
able appearance. After conversinE with
him they confessed to Captain Wilsgn that
they could not account for his condHct. At

morning, the true state of affairs is'Expected

THE STRIKE UNSETTLED.

A Change In the Manner of Working the
Heats Causes Trouble.
The strike of the laborers in the plate mill
of the Republic Iron Works that was begun
on Friday morning remains unsettled. 1t
is said that one of the heaters in the plate
mill has been discharged because he de-
clined to make the change in the manner OF
working.
The heaters have heretofore, as in other
mills, charged 1900 pounds of iron each
turn, but as the men alternate weekly on
night and day turn the idea was conceived
of adding 300 pounds on each turn during
the week of night turn, when only five days
are worked
