WANTING A BOROUGH.

Reasons Given by Some Mckee's Rocks
People for a Change of Autonomy
Largest Unincorporated Body in the
United States.
Mckee's Rocks people still monopolize
the attention of the grand jury, the ohjectors
to the borough project now having their
say. Their version of the matter has al
ready been given in THE DISPATCH.
Those who want the borough assign a
number of reasons why they think they should
have it. In the first place, they set forth that
the aggregation of people ut the mouth OF
CHARTERS Greek is the largest unincorporated
body in the United States, and that it is sub

daring to molest or make afraid. They say
there IS scarce week that some citizen is not
and burglaries are of common occurrence.
They say they have no police protection, and
cannot have it without borough government
They further say that the town is built al
most entirely of wood, and there is no fire pro-
lection, nor can there be any while the object
ors to a borough can control, as at present
They say that nearly all the poor want bor-
ough. and those who do not are controlled by
the manufacturers, who are sad to OBJECT on
the same ground as non-residents anu large
landholders-on the ground that a borough
would increase taxation.
They say that every saloon keeper hut one is
in favor of the borough. and that he is under
the influence of the manufacturers, and finally,
it is contended that the tough element is Op-
posed to the borough, and this is held to be one
OF the strongest arguments in favor of IL.

A DAY OF QUEER CASES.

William Meninger's Request to Be Sent to
the Penitentiary Granted-A Young Wo-
man Assaulted by Her Prospective
Mother-In-Law-O Oddities.
William Meninger. hearty-looking man
with unshaven face, appeared in Criminal

larceny of three chickens and an overcoat
from James Beverage. Judge Stowe eyed
the prisoner sharply. and after a little
fatherly advice on the sin of THEFT, sentenced
the prisoner to three months in the work.
house. The prisoner surprised everybody
in court by remarking that he did not think the
sentence severe enough and the Judge would
oblige him by sending him to the penitentiary
for year and thee months. After Judge
Stowe recovered from his surprise he obliged
the prisoner by granting the request.
Mary Cregan was tried for assault and battery
on Annie Campbell. The evidence as adduced
showed that SON of Mrs. Cregan, who was over
2l years old, had been going with Annie Camp
bell, and the mother objected so strongly to
this that she met Miss Campbell on the street
one night and knocked her down with brick.
The jury returned verdict of guilty but rec
ommended the defendant to the mercy of the
Court. In accepting the verdict Judge Stowe
stated that he would consider the feelings OF
mother in such q case.
Harry Z. Luckett was fined So for immortality.
Joseph Alaud was acquitted of charge of
asss ult and battery.
Jonathan H. Hay is on trial for assault and
battery.

substantial benefit afforded people by our asso-

Christmas to save up holiday money. Others
begin after the holidays to lay aside their

SLIGHTLY OVERCAST
Is Reported as Being the Complexion
of Affairs at Jeanette.
MIR. CHAMBERS WON'T DISCUSS IT.
Road-Making Machine Manufacturers Form
Some Sort of Trust.
NEWS CLEANED IN THE LABOR FIELD

There was a rumor ahoat at late hour
last night of prospective difficulty between
the Window Glassworkers' Association
and Chambers & Mckee, the Jeannette
manufacturers.
1t was stated by manufacturer that a
circular, signed by President Eberhardt,
had been issued to the workers, cautioning
them against working for Chambers & Nc
Kee. This was further alleged to be on ac-
count of the fact that William SlIcker,
against whom the Knights of Labor are re-
ported to have, some grievance. is employed
at Jeannette, and also on the grounds that
the firm was employing labor outside of the
union. Further than this the gentleman
referred to knew nothing of the case.
Mr.. James c. Chambers was spoken with
regarding the report last evening, as he was
leaving for Chicago. He said in this con-
nection: "There is a certain amount of friction
just now between us and the association, but
prefer not to say anything about it. II there is
any publicity to be given TO the matter prefer
it should come from the other side, and have
no doubt that Mr.. Eberhardt will be glad to
ventilate his views through the newspapers.
See him and shall be content to make any
comments that may be necessary on whatever
statement he may make"
Owing to the lateness of the hour an effort to
find MIR. Eberhardt proved futile.
MIR. Chambers, Mr.. William Loefaer. Mr..
Knox, of New Castle, and few other window
glass men went on to Chicago last night to at
tend the meeting of the American Window
/ Glass Association in that city to-day. Mr..
Chambers stated that the meeting would be
one of the bondholders alone, and Tor the pur-
pose of increasing the capital stock from S4O0.-
200 to s6O0,O00. This was necessary, he said, SO
enable United COmnanv
the undertaking. This company had already
decided to become factor in the new associa-
tion, lot more than 10 per cent, Mr. Chambers
said. of the Western manufacturers were hold
ing aloof from the undertaking. One or two
fairly big firms were included among them but
their joint strength would not affect
the operations of the new company. Mr..
Chambers did not know when business would
be commenced; things were not yet ripe for
that. Regarding the probabilities of an i'm.
mediate advance in glass. he said that he did
not think that would be made
Mr.. Loeffier said he held proxies for many of
the Pitrsburg men. A two-thrds' vote was
necessary to increase the capital stock, and
this, he thought, there was no doubt of their
being able to obtain.

Sled-Riding Indulged in by Thousands of
Boys and Girls-Scenes of Merriment on
Steep City Streets-yicious Snow-Ballers
Cause Several Accidents.
The small boy and his sister had lots of
fun last night The snow had packed solid
ly on the steep streets, aud their condition
was perfection for coasting. Almost every
sled in the city was out, and terrible were
the walls of the boy who was not allowed to
join the crowds of merry-makers.
Out.Fifth and Wylie avenues the coasters
could not be computedsas they came flying
down the side streets. Pride street was
especially favored. and the trip from the Bluff
to Fifth avenue was made by horde of yell
ing. shreking, happy youngsters. Webster
avenue was also well patronized, and the pedes-
trian who crossed that street had to be very
wary as the coasters flew down, while the riders
yelled Track, track"
Penn avenue at some points last night was
scene of wildness, owing to the snOw-balling
tendencies of boys and young men along that
thoroughfare. At almost every corner crowds
of young men and boys were cOngregated who
made life weary for the luckless pedestrians.
Those indulging in the pleasures or sleigh
ride were particularly unfortunate. as they
were the special aim of the snow-ballers, who
pelted them right and left The result of these
onsloughts was that couple of accidents were
reported A young man named Dravore, who
was sleigh-riding was struck on the side of the
face with a SNOWFALL that contained chunk of
ice, and an ugly cash was cut. An old gentle
man whose name could not be learned was also
hit on the face and painfully cut. The police
made an effort TO stop the throwing, but it was
fruitless.
Harry Watson and a lady friend. of ALLIE
gheny, met with q mishap while out sleigh-rid-
ing last evening. When driving along North
Highland avenue, near Rippey street. the horse
became frightened and unmanageable. Mr..
Watson at once turned the horse into large
pile of snow. 1t brought the animal to a stop,
but the sleigh was upset and broken into pieces.
The occupants were pitched out, but escaped
injury. The lady was slightly stunned and was
recovered. Her escort procured another sleigh,
and as the horse was unhurt the couple drove
hack to town.

SOME SORT OF A TRUST

Machine Manufacturers.

Proposed at Meeting of Road-Making
Machine Manufacturers.
A meeting. concerning which vast deal of
secrecy was observed, was held in the Duquesne
Hotel yesterday. 1t is supposed to be gath
ering of gentlemen interested in the manu-
facture of road-making machines. Included
among them were +. c. Austin, of the Austin
Manufacturing Company of Chicago; e, F..
Pfeitfer, of the Fleming Manufacturing Com
pany. OF Ft. Wayne; C. H. Junitz. of the West
ern Com pany, of Mt. Pleasant, Ia. ana Messrs.
John A. Houser and Charles Pope, of Ft.
Wayne.
The members refused to divulge the object of
the meeting at first, but Mr.. Pfeiffer said that
a combination of some sort for the protection
of their business interests was contemplated.
He said that trust had been proposed, but
nothing SO far had been decided upon. The
competition between the different makers was
very severe. and much price cutting was the re-
suit. The meeting hoped to fix on some plan
to vitiate this grievance.

IDENTIFYING. A MURDERED MAN.

George Booshard, Who Was Killed Three
Years Ago, Fled From Philadelphia.
The identity of George Booshard, who was
stabbed by John Cain, at the ConneIlsville
Hotel. Grant street, December 10, 1887, is about
to be solved. Boosbard died of his injuries
and Cam was sent to the PenitentIary for II
years. Booshard was employed as q retoucher
in a photograph gallery, and when he died no
clew could be found of his former home or rela-
tIves. and it was surmised that his name was
an assumed one.
A Philadelphia lady was in Coroner Mellow
ellis Office seeking for some trace of her hus-
looking over the photographs of the dead she
recognized the picture of Booshard as former
salOoOukeeper who had mysterlously dlsap-
peared from Philadelphia some years ago. The

Robert W atchorn, Secretary of the United
Mine Workers of America. passed through the
city yesterday on his way home to Philadelphia.
Outside of few local strikes in Ohio and West
Virginia and the one in Alabama the miners of
the country are mostly all at work. He is
afraid the men in tile Clearfied region. where
there are e, 900 miners, will have some trouble
in securing an advance demanded by them.
Mr.. Watchorn has resigned his position and
will insist on being relieved of his official duties

claims of poor health, however, are regarded as
an excuse to get home before Governor-elect
