The Allegheny Library Commission, who
are making arrangements for the Presidents
visit on the occasion of the opening of the
Carnegie Library, obtained the consent Of
the County Commissioners to the use of the
Court House, and decided upon that place
and the time stated for the reception. Presi-
dent Harrison will only be in the city

The 99-to-16 vote in Coraopolis may not

tanned that even saltpeter cannot save

this e1pedient. They may prevent him
from getting retail license, if remonstrants

Supreme Court ruling last summer they
cannot prevent the establishment of a jug

A SETTLEMENT AT PUNXY.

The Trouble in the CIearieId Region May
be Ended TO.Day-President Rae Talks
on the Coke Averted srrike-OpernrOrs
Say the Price Will Go Up.
Mr.. J. B. Rae, President and Master
Workman of the United Miners National
Union, arrived in this city from Scottdale
yesterday. He was accompanied BY Robert
Watchorn, Secretary of the association. The
latter left for Columbus last night.
Mr.. Rae, while in the city, received teIe-
gram from the Master Workman of the
miners union at Punxsutawney,c calling him
to that place at once. The miners have
been on strike there for the past seven
weeks, and the telegram informed him that
his presence there will very likely bring
about a settlement, as the indica-
tions are good for an adjustment
of the trouble, both sides showing
a disposition to confer. He left for that
place at 4:30 in the afternoon, and will re-
turn to Columbus as soon as he leaves PUNK
sutawney. Mr.. Rae, in speaking of the coke
scale, said:
There has. been secured on an average
IL per cent of an advance in wages in all
departments Of the coke trade. This, with
the advance gained last August, makes an
increase of from 26 to 80 per cent in wages.
We asked for 81 15 for mining and received
81 OF, and 81 cents for drawing 100 bushels.
Drivers and other laborers will receive 50 10
day for nine hours work, and overtime to
be paid for on that basis. Some of the men
had been working fully 13 hours DAY, and
the reduction Of the time of work amounts
to a substantial increase in wages"
1. IL u
affect the prices and the operators, he
said: ''The state of the coke trade
will not admit of the increase
in wages without corresponding increase
in the selling price of coke. 1 expect that
the price will be advanced shortly to 81 a
ton. When the scale was advanced last
August instead of injuring the operators, it
impelled them to get higher price, and it
was in a large measure the cause of the
present good condition of the coke trade.
This increase, think, will have like ef-
feet on the market and Will cause an injury
to neither side. The scale will be in force
for one year. left the miners in a very
happy frame of mind over the settlement of
the scale and the fact that strike had been
averted."
The coke operators seen yesterday would
say nothing in reference to an advance in
the price of coke until they hold meeting.
This will take place in a few days. They
are all of one mind, however, so far as their
ability to pay the advance goes. and say that
an advance in coke prices will have to be
made.
Secretary Watchorn has issued circular
asking for information regarding machines
used in mines. The paper contains about 81
questions to be answered by the miners, as
to the names and kind OF machines in use in
each separate locality, the rate paid for
working them, etc.

WHERE DANGER LURKS.
Inspector McEwen Finds 1t in Deficient

Inspector McEwen Finds 1t in Deficient
Sewage land Garbage Heaps.
James NJ. McEwen, Chief Sanitary In
spector, has made his report of operations
for the year ending January 81. 1t shows,
in brief, SPAS nuisances abated and 3,145
cases of contagious diseases visited. The re-
port further shows that what is known as
the old city, the First and Second districts,
containing the first eight wards, and the
Ninth district, the lower Southside, the
Thirtieth, Thirty-third, Thirty-fourth, Thir-
ty-fith and Thirty-sixth Yards, were more
free from contagious diseases than the East
End, which is not nearly so densely
populated as the old city and West End.
Mr.. Nee ven accounts for this from the facts
that the old portion of the city is better sew
cred than the East End, and the lower
Southside is so located that natural drain
age is quite good, while in the East End
foul water saturates the earth to such an ex-
tent as to poison the atmosphere. An i'm
provement is expected when the Negley
Run and Thirty-third street sewers are COM
pleted.
The Inspector calls attention to the neces-
sity for garbage furnaces. There is but one,
and only small portion of the people find
it convenient to send offal to it, and 'twould
be no better if they were to do so, as its ca
pacity is insufficient. He urges the erec-
ton of more such furnaces, one or two on
the Southside and two in the East End dis

The Central Traction Company Not TO Be
Hustled on Fourth Avenue.
Yesterday Mr.. j. NJ. Pattison, the Gov
ernment inspector in this city, held an inter-
view with Chief Bigelow, to ascertain what
the municipal authorities intended to do in
regard to cutting down the grade on Third
and Fourth avenues. Mr.. Pattison was ac-
companied by Postmaster Mexican. Mr..
BigeIow said that the arrangement made
with the Central Traction Company was to
the effect that they would not be pressed to
lower the grade on Fourth avenue inside of
a year. He was, therefore; compelled to
tell Mr.. Pattison that the city government
would not compel the lowering of the grade
this year. 1t will be necessary, to protect
the building, to build retaining walls just
inside of the sidewalk.
Mr.. Pattison is receiving bids for the
building of new room between the present
postofice building and Newell's restaurant.
Work will be commenced before March /,
and it is thought that the quarters can be

Yancing window glass 20 per cent. At the

satisfaction was expressed on account of
only increasing the price per cent.
Mr.. Roberts says that the importers met
in Springfield on Wednesday, and decided
to increase their prices 20 per cent. This
assisted home manufacturers to make the
advance also. Mr.. Roberts likewise afirms
the rumor that the manufacturers are about
to combine in three big syndicates. They
will be the United Glass Company, the
Pittsburg factories, and the Chambers &
