Two Editions.

Although the publishers made
preparations for big sale of the

did not correctly estimate the de
mands of the occasion, and long be-
fore night the forms had to be put on
the press again and another edition
printed, which was also entirely eX-
hausted. The LEAF-CHRONICLE
gives the news, and the people know
it. A hint to the wise advertiser is

TRYING TO SAVE SMITH.

The Colored Wife Murderer Will be Ex.
amined This Rvening-No Assistance
Wanted From White People-Colored
CItizeus May Go TO Harrisburg.
Wife Murderer Smith, who is now in the
county Jail awaiting execution, will be eK-
amined this evening and report made as to
his sanity.
Yesterday afternoon Attorney McIlroy,
counsel for the condemned man, called upon
the murderer in his cell. and had talk
with him. Smith acted SO queerly that the
attorney thought there was something
wrong with him. When asked if Mr.. Nc
Ilroy could do anything for him, Smith
only stared. After looking at his visitor
for quite awhile Smith slowly said he did
not want any assistance from the white people.
He said number of colored men in the city
were interested in his case, and they would
make move in few days. 1t was inferred
from what he said that a committee of colored
citizens would 60 to Harrisburg and see II
something could not be done for him. There
was also some talk of public meeting of col
ored people.
The attorney then waited upon Sheriff Nc
Candies and questioned him in regard TO
Smith. The Sheriff thought the colored mans
actions were strange. and for some time past
he had acted as If he was out of his mind. The
abstraction of thought only came at intervals,
although between times the man was all right.
The attorney then asked IL it would not be a
good idea to have q commission on lunacy ap-
pointed to examine Smith. and the Sheriff
thought there would be no objections.
The attorney then hunted up Drs. Wylie and
Ayres, both well-known mind specialists. DR..
Wylie was one of the staff at Dixmont Asylum
for number of years, and had considerable
experience with 1unatics. DR.. Ayres also has
had many years of experience with crazy peo-
pie and Smiths case, It is said, will be handled
by men of ability. The two physicians will
meet at the jail at o'clock this evening and
will examine into Smiths condition.

. There are pianos sold in Pittsburg and

which the high price Of $3.50 is exacted and
which are nothing more nor less than ordi-
nary stencil" instruments-which means
that the name Of the maker printed on the
name board is fictitious, trumped up name,
no such person being in existence; and that
therefore such stencil pianos cannot posi-
bly, be relied upon, as no actual responsible
maker by that name exists to fall back upon
in case the machine goes wrong or the local
agent should die without visible means to
make good his guarantee.
Why not rather go to II. Kleber & Bro. g,

WILL BE EPAID TO-DAY.
The National Tube Works Strikers
Evidently Out to Stay.
MACHINISTS HAVE NO GRIEVANCE
Colonel W. P. Rend Is Not Importing
Southern Colored Workmen.
BOILERMAKERs TO MEET IN REV YORK

The strike of the National Tube Works
at McKeesport remains the same. Nothing
of importance has developed, any more than
that $500 men who went out are idle. The
company had lap welding, a bending, a
nut weld furnace in operation last night,
and operated them yesterday by the assur-
ance of the welders who are under three and
five year contracts, and have doubled up in
operating these furnaces. General Manager
E. G. Converse says the works are open for
any of the employees who desire to resume
work, and that the company is paying as
high rates as it can, and will positively not
pay any more. He says also the works are
in operation and will so continue.
The following letter was received st The
DISPATCH Office last night relative to the
position occupied by the mschlnists at Nc
Keesport:
We, the undersigned committee of McKees-
port Lodge No. 60, National Association OF
Machinists, wish to make the following state
ent dispute at the National Tube Works Com
pany of McKeesport: At q meeting held by
the machinists employed at the above works It
was unanimously
part whatever in the present agitation. for the
following reasonsa First we are controlled by
the National Association Of Machinists OF
america. Secondly, we have made no demands,
and at present have no grievances to cause us
70 suspend work. Thirdly, we are receiving
the standard wages and working the same
number of hours as machinists in our district.
The letter is signed by William g. Davis,
Fielding Scott, Enoch Barclay, John M. Kin
caide, Harry Rider and George Zook-
The finishing department of the National
Mills stopped work at noon simply because the
place is stacked with iron and the output
which would be used at the National Tube
Works were it not for the idleness there, cannot
be stacked up as there is no place to put 1t.
An official of the company speaking OF the
situation, said it was out of the question to ask
for more wages, as no tube works in the coun.
try were paying more than the National, and
there were too many paying less. During the
day the men met in groups at different points
along the streets and discussed the situation:
Some Of the departments are arranging to hold
meetings, and it is thought that something will
be developed very soon.
To-day at 10 o'clock Is the time set for the
men TO meet on the Diamond and march to the
tube works Office to receive their wages. A
brass band has been engaged to escort the
parade. There Is no excitement and the best
of order Is maintained
