IT'S THEIR OWN BUSINESS,
IRON MANUFACTURER OBJECT TO Mr..
PoRTER's QUESTIONS.


They Regard Many of the Queries as Pre-
pSsterous, and sny That Answers
Would Serve No Useful Purpose-Much
Of the Information Required Already
Published.
The manufacturers of iron and steel in
Pittsburg have about concluded that they
will be continually deluged with inquiries
from the Census Department concerning
their industries. The regular local census
enumerator and the specialist have already
visited them and made life burden By ask
ing questions, and now Superintendent
Porter has prepared another consignment of
INQUIRIES which he proposes to have them
answer.
The interrogatories are II in number and
embrace almost every conceivable detail of
the manufacturing industries of the United
States. This special branch of inquiry is
under the charge Of DR.. w. NJ. Sweet, of
Philadelphia, noted specialist in this par
ticular department.
tits the general opinion of the gentlemen
engaged in the iron and steel business in
this city that the information sought to be
obtained can serve no useful purpose to the
general public and very little to manufac-
turers. Those who have seen the questions
think they are too inquisitoral in tone, and
smack too much of an inquiry into mans
personal business.
WILL BE OF NO BENEFIT.
Mr.. Macintosh, of the firm of Macintosh
& Hemphill, said:
Icannot see how these questions will benefit
either the people at large or the Government
in any way, They seem to me 70 be absurd in
the extreme, and am of the opinion that they
will be generally disregarded by iron and steel
manufacturers. They are OF statistical

A VERY SLICK THIEF
IDENTIFIED BY A KNOWLEDGE OF HIS
PECULIAR METHODS.

nfe.
Owen McNally, alias Steel, one of the
most noted sneak thieves in the country,
was arrested last night by Detectives Robin
son and Shore at No. "a Second avenue. For
several days past the police OF the First
District have been looking for this man.
Ten years ago Superintendent O'Mara con-
victed McNally OF robbing Mrs. G. Mashey
and Mrs. W. W. Thompson, wife of the
then City Attorney, of jewelry valued at
nearly 81 900, and he was sent to the peni-
tentiary Tor eight years.
A few days ago several robberies were re-
ported to the police, and O'Mara at once
recognized the methods of McNaIly. Mr..
O'Mara says the man has robbed dozen
houses in an afternoon. He is always ready
and self-possessed, and thus, when he is
caught in house, he throws his victims off
their guard and he escapes.
On Wednesday he went into the house OF
DIR. WYlie, on Penn avenue, and gathered
in $500 worth of jewelry As he was COM
ing downstairs he met the doctor and said
he wanted something removed from between
his teeth. DR.. Wylie inserted an instru-
ment between the mans teeth and he said
he was relieved, and went away. The rob-
berry was discovered five minutes later. On
the same day he entered the house OF
DIR. Swentzell, a few doors away, and took
$40 He was again met coming down.
stairs, and made the same excuse as in the
previous. He also stole quantity of cloth
ing from Mr.. Edmunds, ,oi No. 421 Penn ave-
nue.. A number of similar robberies have
been reported.
Sadie Samuels, friend of McNally's,
was arrested few days ago while attempt
ing to pawn bracelet belonging to Mrs.
Wylie. The girl was loyal to McNally, and
refused to tell where she obtained the
jewelry. Most of the stolen goods have been
reco yered.

Barclay VIII Resign. II He Is Elected on
the stnte Ticket.
Senator M. s. Quay gave the faithful a
chance to see him yesterday afternoon at the
Seventh Avenue Hotel. He and his son
Dick stopped over for a half day on the
way to Washington. They went out last
night.
Among the Senator's callers were Post
master Mexican, United States District
Attorney Lyon, Colonel W. II. Reed, and
number OF the members of the Americus
CLUB. Toward evening Pension Agent
Barclay called and asked for a private
conference. Much curiosity was excited
to know the object of the captains
visit, but the silent Senator was more than
silent on that point. When asked about it
he said Mr.. Barclay and he were friends.

II suppose he will resign" he added, "lf

Speaking of State politics, Senator Quay
said: "Delamater will be elected, hut No

now what his majority will be. realize
there is some disaffection in this county,
and the Gil men are divided, but there is
just as much dissatisfaction on the Demo-
cratic side. l see that Mr.. Bremen feels
little sore because he wasn't nominated.
"Yes, I expect the party will lose some of
the independent votes, but they will be bal

think M-. Pattison will affect the usual Re-

nee may be showed under out of sight. 1
wouldn't be surprised if he was, but that is
further along"
The Senator did not talk as if he had
committed himself to the policy of the
Federal election bill. He said he hadn't
read it since it was passed by the House,
and he couldn't say what the Republican
Senators would do with it. He thought an
adjournment would be made August un-
less the discussion over the election bill
would be prolonged.
To one of his callers Senator Quay e1-
pressed the opinion that Delamater's major
ity would be 10000.

Allegheny Making Preparations TO Cele.
brate Her FifieIh Birfhdny--An Inter-
esting Programme for Day and Night
The City Will Blaze With Light.
The eyes of the community are now turned
toward Allegheny. On the 18th of July
Pittsburg's sister city proposes to celebrate
its fftieth birthday. This fact is
awakening keen interest in industrial circles.
Citizens are manifesting pride in the prog
ress of their municipality since the days of
40. City Councils have shown their appre-
citation of the enterprise by appropriating
the sum of S., 900 for the use of the Semi
Centennial Committee. Coupled with this
is the unquestionnd ability of the executive
officers, who will spare no pains to make a
grand demonstration.
Music, oratory, and numberless other
popular features will make it a gala day.
1t will be celebration for the people and
by the people, and in after years they may
refer to the 18th of July, 1890, as a glorious
event in the history of Allegheny.
Much time and labor have been given to
the details of the celebration BY the general
committee and the various subcommittee.
Their services, rendered cheerlully and VOL
unfairly, will undoubtedly result in one
thing, and that is the grand success of the
anniversary.
Notable men of the State Convention,
county officers and Pittsburg officials have
been invited. Transportation and enter
tainment for them during their STAY in the
ffty-year-old city has been provided for.
Mass meetings of the citizens and musical
entertainments, both vocal and instrumental,
will be given in the parks, afternoon and
evening. The vocal portion of the evening
programme will include over !, 200 trained
male voices. The electrical and natural gas
display and the illumination of towers and
parks will be novel and beautiful, and on
scale of magnifcence never before attempted
in this portion of the country. The daylight
procession will be leading attraction,
presenting in martial array, uniformed stats,
bands of music, military organizations, civic
and singing societies, turner's and athletes.
guests, county and city officials mayors and
ex-mayors, city fathers and guardians. Dis
plays by the fire, water, police and other
city departments will all be found in line,
besides the industrial division.
Meetings are held every week in City Hall
to make preparations for the event, and the
outlook is favorable to successful celebra-
tion.

Fnyetre Democrats Claim a Good Man Can
Dcfenf Colonel stewart.
R. E. Umbell, bright Democratic lawyer
of Uniontown, spent yesterday in Pittsburg.
He thinks Colonel Andy Stewart is an easy
man to beat for Congress, if the Democrats
can only agree and nominate good candl-
date. He does not believe the Colonel can
carry Greene and Fayette counties. The
Greene Republicans, he says, feel sore over
Rays treatment by the convention, and will
turn in and help roll up an old-time Demo-
cratic majority.
'It was intended by the Ewing faction, 1"
he continued, that Acheson should be the
nominee, but after the primaries were held
General Bailey had elected 10 delegates out
of the IA who were not in the deal and were
in favor of Ray. When Acheson saw the
fight was hopeless, and one of the Ewing
men had moved in the caucus that the dele
CATION should stand by Colonel Stewart for
a day at least. the Washington candidate
Withdrew and threw his delegates to Stew
art. The Ewing men had tied themselves,
and there was nothing left but to nominate
him. That is how it was DONE"
