HE EXPECTS A STRIKE.
Mr.. Watchoru Says Western Coal 0pern tor
Must Increase Wages.

Mr.. Watchoru Says Western Coal Opern tors
Must Increase Wages.
Secretary Robert W atchorn, of the United
Miners, went East last evening. The new
scale in the Central district of the State will
60 into effect this week, and he expects there
will be some friction between the operators
and miners. He thinks it wise to be on
hand to lend his assistance In settling diff
culties that may arise.
Mr.. Watchorn said: "This has been
fair year for miners The OUTPUT of coal in
Ohio was exceptionally large, and Pennsyl-
vania has done as well. We expect to have
big strike in Indiana and Illinois about
November /. When the Eastern operators
last spring granted the increase of ~ cents
per too it was on condition that we made
the Western people come to the scratch also.
When navigation is open the Eastern oper-
ators have the call on the markets, but as
soon as it closes the Western men are
ahead. The National Executive Board
will meet in Chicago the first week
in October to formulate our demands, which
will be made at once. ii they are not
granted. we will give them such tussle as
they have not had for years. Of course it
would not be fair to give the Western oper-
tors handle OF ~ cents over their Eastern
competitors"
Mr.. Watchorn said he was told that sew
eral of the stockholders in the Irwin mine
had insisted on the President OF the COM
pany receding from his position or retiring.
He claims that they are losing money daily,
and can't hold out much longer.

SCIENTIFIC FISHERMEN.

seining the Ohio at Jacks Run to Supply
the New Aqua rium in the Allegheny
Parks - Fish Warden Hague is In
Last evening Fish Warden Hague found
note in his Office, stating that men were
fishing with seine in the Ohio river at
Jacks run, and could easily be caught.
This proved an excellent joke, inasmuch as
Mr.. Hague was one of the party of fisher
men. Superintendent Hamilton, of the
Allegheny Parks, has a permit from the
State Board of Fish Commission to secure
specimens OF all the different kinds of fish in
the Ohio, Allegheny and Monongahela
rivers to be placed in the new aquarium in
the Allegheny Conservatory. The fishing
is for scientific purposes. 1t is the inten-
tion to fill the four large tanks with
fish of every kind and then study their
habits.
Yesterday the fishermen were rewarded by
securing II varieties of fish. The most pc
culiar specimen was spoon fish, an unusual
find in the rivers of this vicinity. This is a
fish with bill s or 10 inches long and
about inches broad, with a shovel-shaped
end. Among the other specimens were
herring, jack salmon, white salmon, red tail
sucker, white sucker, German carp, black
bass and fresh water shad.
All day the men worked faithfully and at
night were very tired from their exertions
They only secured about 40 fish. -Four
bueketsful were brought to the aquarium
last evening. In one bucket were four her.
ring, and when they arrived in the city one
had turned on his back. He was given
fresh water and soon revived, but may die
yet. In this,case they will have to secure
others of his kind to replace him. This
shows what an immense job of work men
have to fill out the order for fish. If one
should die another must be secured to re-
place it and they might fish all day and not
secure the kind they were after.
Warden Hague said in conversation with
DISPATCH reporter last evening:
81 can't see why people viii! go out all
night seining fish whan it is against the
Law, 1t is the hardest kind of work in the
world and the returns are very small. We |
worked hard and faithful all day, and the |
result of our labor was only 40 fish. We |
will continue next week and until we have |
secured all the fish wanted. We want half |
a dozen OF each kind so as to be able to |
study the habits and peculiarities of all. / |
am glad people are kind enough to inform |
me when there is illegal fishing, but if any |
body sees us again they may know the fish |
warden is one OF the party"
The fish secured yesterday were put in the !
tanks last night, and are now ready for the |
inspection of those who care to visit the |
to-day.

idea Of us and what we did. Even thou
sands of residents had never taken the
trouble to inform themselves, and could not
tell stranger very much of what the city
contained. Then strangers can see nothing
of consequence unless they are piloted, as
the great manufacturing enterprises cover
large portion of the county, and they can
not be set forth in all their amplitude by
any exposition, though, OF course, that is In
the right direction.
james Flood. of Arbuckles & Co.. seemed
to think that people were so busy that they
were not thinking of inviting observation,
but he did not seem to think the corn
palace style of manufacturing notice might
be out of place. He was reticent, however.
r. S. McCague, grain dealer, thought the
idea an excellent one, as even the majority
of Pittsburgers scarce knew what the city
did. Mr.. McCague said that if any repre-
tentative town in the West had the Edgar
Thomson Steel Works, or some of the West
inghouse factories, it would proceed to let
the world know that il was the largest
thing of the kind on the footstool, and in
few years would build a large city about
one plant alone.
WE DON'T NOTICE THEM.
Here they existed a sort of matter of
tell stranger what they were or anything
intelligently regarding their capacity. There
are several factories in and around Pitts
burg that are the largest Of their kind in
the world, but few aside from their proprie-
tors and statisticians know it. In eonclu-
sion Mr.. McCague thought the advantage
OF letting Pittsburg's light so shine that the
world, seeing its greatness and advantages
for trade as well as manufacturing, would
be incalculable.
S. A. johnson, Esq, said he could give
no plan, but thought that of the West had
been very effective. The people there had
placarded the world aud had lightly brushed
aside all the sneers bestowed on them, and
when they had made the desert blossom as
the rose they found their reward. Denver,
he said, was the best exponent of this kind
of push at present, and it is among the best
paying investments.

ADVERTISING PAYS.
THE LEGAL PROFESSION RECOGNIZES A
STANDARD TRUTH.

How the wild West Doomed Itself Into
Observation-Disclosures Almost too
Busy to Tim Their LightE-The Citizens
Committee Idea Meets With Favor.
Among lawyers generally and also among
business men there seemed to be an impress
sion that the only sure way to make city
known is to advertise what is done in it,
and all seemed to think the Wild West had
gotten the business down as finely as, in the
present state of art, it could be gotten.
Harvey Henderson said he knew OF no
way except some one of the plans adopted
by the West.
Rush Lake thought the Western plan a
good one, with q little toning down. He
thought the business of putting rather over
done in the land of the setting sun, and
gave instances of people who had been in
duced to go to Pueblo by an advertising
agent and who found the city so much short
of what had been represented that they not
only left 1t but wrote back to their friends
denounciug the agents representations as
lies. The agent in question had the Eastern
cities and large towns placarded setting
forth in glowing terms what Pueblo had to
show. He also made it his business to form
the acquaintance of leading men in all cities
and get his city mentioned, wherever posi-
BILE, by the newspapers.

CRUSHED BY A WALL.
ONE MAN KILLED AND FIVE INJURED IN
ALLEGHENY.

Six Workmen Buried In the Rims Of CAL
Iery's Row-The Mansled Victims In the
Allegheny General HospItal-Gaused by
Sinking Building.
A mass of ruins at Callery's tannery, in
Allegheny, one man cold in death and five
niangled bodies in the Allegheny General
Hospital, tell the story of terrible acci-
dent.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon the high
wall against which were the houses, known
as Callery's row, on River avenue, Alle-
gheny, fell down and six men were buried
in the ruins. j. Solvalege,a a Greek, was
literally crushed to death. The injured
are as follows:
JOSEPH VOGEL-Aged 30 compound
fracture of leg. and back seriously injured. He
lives on High street. Spring Hill, Allegheny.
MATTHEW ROSITCH-Aged 81, bruised
and cut abont the head. Very nervous over
the shock and has been having chils. He says
he has a brother-in-law named Joe Marene-
witch living on Butler street.
JOSEPH LAKOVITCH-Terrib cuts on
the face. jaw broken and has numerous scalp
JOSEPH sPREUzER-scalp wounds and
back injured.
The fifth man is an unknown Hungarian,
who is internally injured. The foreman
designated him as No. IL.
The scene of the accident is between
James Gallery & Co.'s tannery and the
Standard Manufacturing company's build
ing. Joe Vogel, with gang of II Hun
garians and Greeks, was employed in tear
ing down the old frame building known as
Callery's row. There were IL three-story
frame houses, with 13-inch brick wall at
the back, against which nine-inch chimneys
were erected. Ten of the houses were torn
down, and the men were working on the last
two, the back wall of which was
directly against the end of the
Standard building. The top story had
been taken off. Joseph Voge1 was prying
the last board away from the brick when
the crash came. Without warning the
top of the wall tumbled over with report
like an an explosion.
The weight of the wall crushed the build
ings clear to the ground, completely bury
ing the men. The employees of the tannery
and of the Standard Manufacturing
Company rushed out, and in three
minutes the men were rescued. The remains
of the dead man were taken at once to Her.
mann & Ebbert's undertaking rooms and
the wounded were hurried away in ambu-
lances to the Allegheny General Hospital.
Hardly had the dust cleared away before
Coroner Heber Mcdowell was on the
ground. He assisted in the search, viewed
the remains, and will hold an inquest at IL
O'Clock this morning.
Joseph Vogel was interviewed by Dis
PATCH reporter in the Allegheny Gen eral
Hospital, and said: 81 was prying board
away from the wall when it fell over. I |
noticed before that it was not very sound,
but, as we had gotten safely through the |
others, I did not fear anything. The brick |
wall was originally about two inches away |
from the Standard Manufacturing Com |
pany's building, but that structure had |
bulged out from the great weight put upon |
it until it pressed against the back wall of |
row. believe this SO weakened |
the wall that when the supports were re-
moved in front the wall was too weak to
stand"

The hotel walters will be organized this
week into an independent organization of
hotel walters that has headquarters in Chi
cago. A representative of the organization
will be here on Wednesday to institute the
assembly.
The local hotel walters have had several
grievances this year, and a strike was talked
of once or twice, but this was prevented by
the cooler heads among them. Among their
complaints was one against the heavy Ex-
position trade that compels them to work
harder and more hours with no increase
in the pay. 1t is said that early next spring
demands will be presented for increased
wages. All the hotels that employ colored
walters will be represented in the organiza-
tion,

Success, in the business world,
consists of anticipating the wants

One OF these wants has been to

The Cnt In aluminium Refers Only TO Con-
pie of Compounds.
Referring to a telegram from Cleveland
which stated that reduction of the price of
aluminium had been made by the Cowles
Electric Smelling and Aluminium Company
of from 30 80 to 81 pound, r. c. Cole, of
the Pittsburg Reduction Company, last
evening said:
1.-The reported cut does not refer to the
pure metal, such as is smelted BY the Pitts
burg Reduction Company, either at its
works in PIttsburg or its English works at
Patricroft, near Manchester 1t refers, in
stead, to compound of aluminium and COP
per, or aluminium and iron, the price being
quoted on the contained aluminium IN those
compounds. The former, or bronze alloy, is
largely consumed by brass founders, and the
latter by iron and steel manufacturers to i'm
prove the quality of their metal"

Sergeant Logan shortly after entered the
cell to dress the injuries of Kirby. The
latter submitted to the treatment for a
short time, but again showed fight. He
turned on the Sergeant and attempted to
throw him, but the latter was too quick
and threw Kirby. 1t required the assist
