MR.. SHIRAS WILL RUN.
The Young Candidate for Congress
Comes Out in a Card.
TALK OF SEVERAL DARK HORSES.
Colonel Stone Will Stay in the Fight Till
1t is Finished.
A PROPOSED STUMP OF THE DISTRICT

At noon yesterday George Shiras III. an
nounced his determination TO run again for
Congress in the following card:
The pressure of personal friends and former
supporters, supplemented by the very generous
Offers of support rom many who. through per-
sonal choice or force of circumstances were
against me last time, has led to my again be-
coming candidate for the Congressional NOM
ination. My hesitation this time has arisen
partly from a dislike to renew a contest so
close upon the heels Of one that has placed our
party in an unenviable position, and partly
from the fact that the prospect Of success, al
though ten-fold brighter than before, brings
me faceNto face with the active duties and obli-
cations Representative of the Twenty-thlrd
district must necessarily assume. The question
now is not SO much in my ability to WIN the
nomination as the qualifications to win ap-
provai afterward. What my views are upon
national issues, Justice to those who sup
port me require definite declaration, which
will furnish at an early date.
One Of his strongest supporters, Mr.. John
81. Ricketson, was interviewed last night.
He said: 1T am for Shiras and believe he
will be nominated. He will unite the party
and make record for himself in Congress
that will be of great advantage to this Con-
gressional district"
THE HALL FOR STONE.
There is q strong Stone feelin around the
Allegheny City Hall, and prevailing sem
timent that the Colonel will win. Clerk Dill
worth thinks Colonel Stone will come out first.
from present Indications while Mr.. Love, Of
the Select Council, said: "Stone will defeat
Shiras worse than Bayne did. His strength
will be greatly augmented by the soldier vote"
Health Oficer Bradley who is one of the
County Committee, said: ut is safe to say that
the committee will order new primaries, and.
Judging from the general tone of the people,
think Colonel Stone will have a walkover."
Recorder Graham said last night: Colonel
Stone is prepared to go before the people, and
his friends are urgently demanding the holding
of new primaries"
Rurmors were floating around Allegheny
yesterday that Shiras and Stone would stump
the district.
There were many people at lunch hour yes
terday standing on Diamond street between
the offices of Messrs. Stone and Shiras and
trying to look both ways, at immense risk of
becoming cross-eyed. They were mainly
lawyers. with sprinkliDg of politicians,
though the latter did not seem to care to get
sidewalk expressions. Both gentlemen ap-
peared at the same time. The interviewing
was of the short order, as each was rather sem
tentious and not disposed to say any more than
he could help.
Mr.. Stone said he was In the fight, and in.
tended to stay In until 1t was concluded.
Mr.. Shiras said he had announced his candi-

NOT MANY CHANGES.
Amalgamated Association Scale Being
Adopted With a Rush.
BOW THE ELECTION WILL TURN OUT
Delegates Ready to Go to the Plumbers
National Convention.
sOUTHSIDE STRIKE ENDS SUDDENLY

The Amalgamated Association made the
greatest progress yesterday of any day since
the convention was called to order. The
price per ton for boiling on 2-cent card was
finally and definitely decided upon yester-
day m corning. The figure Is s. 30. The vote
was 100 to 131, the closest ever taken on this
question in the association. The remainder
of the boiling scale was reafirmed with but
slight alterations. The list of extras was
acted on. Most of the old prices were salts
factory, and the scale was disposed of in
short order.
The muck or puddle mill scale was then
taken up. The price per ton, to be paid for
muck rolling on trains of two pairs or sets
of rolls or less, was fixed at 1211 per cent of
the price paid for b oiling; for double muck
iron on two high muck rolls, the roller is to
receive II cents per ton extra above the
scale price. The scrapping and busheling
scale was passed upon with butfew changes,
except in the extras, where a few advances
will be asked for busheling scrap and
wrought iron turnings mixed on sand bot
tom. The price for knobbling was fixed at
Sc II per ton for refined iron, and ~ per
ION ior kuOupliuS raw pig hon, .ne
bier to pay his helper one-third of these
prices for refined iron and pig metal. There
were no important changes in the scale for
heating slabs and shingling.
The bar and rail plate mill scale was taken
up in the afternoon and was under discussion
until few minutes before time for adjourn
ment, when it was voted upon and settled.
The scale ranges from 20 cents per ton on 2
cent card to 81 OF on q 4. The usual prices on
extras were reaffirmed. The ten-inch guide
mill scale will be taken mp to-day.
There is q great deal of interest developing
in the coming election Of officers. There is
some tall hustling being done by the prospect
i've candidates for the presidency. OF course,
if MI. Weihe refuses absolutely to be candi
date. the field is left open to whoever wishes to
enter and the chances are that at least four
people would be after the plum. One of the
delegates said last night however, that Mr..
Weihe would be the next president. He will
not say be is q candidate, but if he is elected
he will do as he has done before-serve. In the
event of his standing for tho nomination there
will be no candidates against him. The picnic
on Saturday afforded a good opportunity for
the candidates to get in their work on the dele
gates, and they let no chances 60.

Resolutions.

The Council Of the boro Of Knoxville de-
sire to give expression to the feeling of deep
loss they have sustained by the death of
their late clerk, W. w. Knox, Jr., who for
many years performed the duties of that
office with great ability and faithfulness.
His interest and efforts for the welfare OF
our boro was untiring; and being one Of its
first residents, he seemed to make them iden-
tical with his own, therefore his loss will be
the more deeply felt by the entire COM
munity.
Be it Resolved, That in our esteemed
friend and associate we recognized pure
life, an amiable disposition and a general
department that we may we'll cherish and
emulate.
Resolved, That we offer our sincere sym-
pathies to his widow, whose home has been
made lonely and desolate by the passing
away to q better home of devoted husband,
and for that strength and consolation so
much needed in the hour OF af1iction we
commend her to Him who doeth all things
we'll, and is the only source of comfort.
Resolved, That these resolutions be spread
on the records of our minutes, published in
the Southside News and Dispatch and
copy be sent to his widow.

NEW LEGISLATION.
The new business introduced into Com
mon Councils was as follows:
Select Council-Ordinances for sewers on
Gibbons, Eva and Aurelia streets and Null
berry alley; ordinances for opening Wicks treet
and Homewood avenue; petitions for public
lamps on Davis street, Wylie and East End
avenues, five hydrants on Cedar street and
water pipe on Collins avenue; ordinance estab-
fishing the grade of Marchand street.
Common Council--Ordinances establishing
the grade of Shafer, Emerson and Swope
streets; opening Denison and Fifty-fourth
streets; for sewers on Carson and Grazier
streets.
Chairman Holiday, of Common Council,
read the report of the Board of Awards on
a number OF contracts, and all of them were
approved, except that for the Blackberry
alley sewer, which was laid over by request
of Mr.. Ferguson until the plans for the
sewer can be further examined.
The Chair also read communication
from the Department of Awards on the
paving of Home street. The contract was
let for block stone, and it was sent back at
the last meeting of Council, as the point
was raised that the people wanted irregular
block stone, which is a cheaper pavement.
The Department of Awards adhered to its
action, and insisted on block stone. Mr..
Metcalf said the people had petitioned for
irregular block stone and would not pay
for the more expensive block stone. The
petition was produced and showed Mr.. Met
cali to be correct, and the award was again
sent hack

THE OUTS SHALL BE ms,
And the PIttsburg Baptist Association snys
the Last Shall be First.

And the Plttsburg Baptist Association snys
the Last Shall be First.
Many people will remember the fight made
by Messrs. Isaac Morton, Isham Carter, Wesley
Johnston. Alex Barbour, NJ. E. Jones and 8. F.
Bryant to secure a charter for the Ebenezer
Baptist Church, Colwell and Milton streets.
These gentlemen were known as the "outs,"
having been fred by Rev. Pryer. backed by
majority of the church membership. The tes-
timony taken before Commissioner Clark was
rather sensational, some of 1t TOO "loud'' for
publication. The outs rather got the
worst of 1t, as they contended that
they should be given the charter, whereas
Judge Collier refused to enter into the merits
of the ecclesiastical fight and merely granted
q charter for the Ebenezer Baptist Church
without passing on the question as to whether
the ins or the outs were regular or irregular.
The outs wished to have the Courts decision
postponed until the Pittsburg Baptist Associa-
ton had passed on the charges preferred
against the ins, but His Honor persistently re-
fused.
At the annual meeting Of the association
above mentioned, it took action and decided
that Messrs. NJ Morton, Carter ct al were the regu-
lars and this gives them the whip-hand. 1t does
not appear that any steps have yet been taken
for Reorganization. but Messrs. Broe and Pres
colt say the result will be more satisfactory to
their clients than court decision in their
favor would have been, 1t seems to be under
stood that as the association has decided the
case there is no going behind the returns.
