As some doubts have been expressed

IRON MAKERS COMING.
The British Institute and German
Iron Masters Association
HAVE BEEN INVITED TO AMERICA.
1t is A bout Settled They Will Hold Meet
ing in Pittsburg.
COMMITTEE To MAKE ARRANGEMENTS

Joseph D. Weeks went to New York last
evening to attend meeting of the commit
tee that is making arrangements to receive
the members of the British Iron and Steel
Institute and the German Iron Masters
Association in this country next September.
The meeting will be held in the metropolis
on Saturday. Mr.. Andrew Carnegie is
Chairman, and men like A. S. Hewitt,
William P. Shinn, and many other promi-
nent manufacturers and engineers through
out the country, are on the committee. With
such men at the helm it is bound to be
great gathering, and it is about settled
that the meeting will be held in P ittsburg.
as the iron and steel center of the q nited
States. This city also is we'll represented on
the Committee of Arrangements.
Mr.. Weeks explained that the invitation
was issued in the names of the civil, mining,
mechanical and electrical engineers socie-
meetings have hitherto been held in Europe,
though invitations have frequently been ex-
tended to the foreigners to come here.
ACCEPTED WITH THANKS.
The British Iron and Steel Institute ac-
cepted, and in turn invited the members of
the German Iron Masters Association, and
they have also consented to attend in
body.
Mr.. Weeks said that they would probably
come direct to Pittsburg and hold the an
nual meeting here. Then they will be
divided into two parties: one would 60 up
to the Lake Superior iron ore regions and
the other could go down along the Atlantic
seacoast where the annual gatherings of the
various engineering societies will be held.
Mr.. Weeks says that about 500 delegates are
expected and it will be the greatest collec-
tion of engineers and iron and steel manu-
facturers ever seen in America. The ar
Tangements for their reception will be made
on an elaborate scale.
Mr.. Weeks is pleased that the distin-
guished foreigners have consented to come to
America. He feels that the country now has
an opportunity to show what it can do in the
industrial line Many of the delegates have
individually been in America, but they
never had such chance as they will have
to examine Yankee manufactures.
ENGLAND's INTEREST.
Both Germany and England are old iron
and steel countries, and up to date they have
controlled the markets, but the English are
beginning to admit that Uncle Sans citi-
zens are leaving them in the race. Sir
Henry Ditsou, distinguished authority on
steel, member of the British Institute,
will be among the delegates.
At the meetings of previous years held in
Europe the United States was always we'll
represented The late lamented manager of
the Edgar Thomson Steel Works attended
the last one in England. Among the en-
gineers who are rapidly coming to the front
as the exponents of new power are those
who toy with electricity. The electric prob
lem will come in for its share in the scien-
tifc deliberations.

SUNDAY school, CONVENTION,
The Annual Meeting of tho Pittsburg Bap-
tist Association.

The annual Sunda. School Convention of
the PIttsburg Baptist Association was held
yesterday in the Mt. Washington Baptist
Church. William S. Bullock, the Chair
man, presided. There were three sessions.
The morning session was devoted to reports
of officers and committees and election of
officers.
The important feature of the reports was
the one offered by the Executive Committee
1t was brief review of the work done by
various auxiliary associations and was of
much interest. The election of officers re-
suited as follows: President, j. 81. Shelton;
Secretary. William F. Maxon; Executive
Committee, G. r. Lauman, William NJ
Werner and Thomas Corde. The remainder
of the session was given up to the hearing
of a paper on the preparation of teachers by
Rev. c. A. Edsall, of the Fourth Avenue
Church.
Rev. William Ward West, of Oakland,
conducted the devotional exercises which
preceded the afternoon session. Rev. Will
lam Codville, d. D., of McKeesport, and
j. P. Ogg, Esq, read interesting papers on
Sunday school work, and a discussion of
the subjects followed.
The meeting closed in the evening with
an address by Charles Miller, of Franklin,
Pa, who is the Chairman of the Pennsvl-
vania Baptist General Association. Mr..
Miller talked on how to build up Il Sunday
school and how to build up a class. The
address was interspersed with practical
illustrations of Sunday school work. The
convention throughout was one of the most
interesting ever held, and is expected to
result in much good to the association.

ABUSING THEIR TRUST,
Charges of Grenr Cruelty Against a Woods
Run Stepmofher.

Charges of Grenr Cruelty Against a Woods
Run stepmother.
Agent Bergman. of the Humane Society,
yesterday made an information before Alder
man Bopp, of Allegheny. charging Julius
and Mary Lowe, of Woods Run, with
cruelty to children. The suit is entered on
behalf of 3K-year-old son of loves by a
former marriage, who, it is alleged by neigh
bors, receives shocking treatment from his
father and stepmother. At the time of the
death OF loves first wife, the dying mother,
with her husbands consent, gave the infant
boy into the care of his grandfather, loves
father. The little fellow remained with his
grandparents until his fathers second mar
riage, when he was forcibly taken from
them.
Agent Bergman alleges that the step
mother turns the child out of the house in
the morning, compelling him to remain out
of doors without anything to eat until even
ing, shortly before the time she knows her
husband will return from work. In addi-
tion to this, the Humane agent was informed
that both father and stepmother beat the
child unmerci ully, the father having been
seen to hold him up by the hair and beat
him about the head and face with his fist
The cause appears to be the little fellows
natural affection for his grandparents, who
would be pleased to have him again in their
home

INCREASING THE POLICE.

The City Will Have the Benefit and Rsspon.
sibiIity of n Large Increase of Officers
The street Car Companies Pay the Bills
Benefit to Piffsburg.
AS shown by Chief Browns report of the
Bureau of Police in the Department of Pub
lie Safety, he has one of the finest forces in
the country, if not Browns Finest" An
other feature OF the police of Pittsburg will
be that it will before long be the most
numerously policed city. in comparison
with its population, Of any in the country.
The reason of this is the manner in which
the various railroad companies are protect
ing themselves against damages BY placing
police at all the principal corners where
the lines cross. The number of new lines
already projected will probably add from
so to 60 men to the police force within
year. 1t now numbers, with the 25 addi-
tional men recently granted by councils,
nearly 800 men all told
Chief Brown says that, although these
corner men are in the pay of the various
companies. the department is held RESPONSE
BILE for their control and discipline and also
keeps the time of the men. He saws they
are exactly upon the same footing as the
other officers of the force and receive the
same pay, which is remitted by the COM
panies in checks to the credit of the depart
menr. They are under the supervision of
the captains and lieutenants of police, and
the department is held responsible for
their attention to work and conduct.
They are also subject TO the police bu-
reau rules even to the extent of taking their
turn with the emergency squad at the fire
hall, and are subject to dismissal, supension
or other penalties for any dereliction of
duty, the railroad companies having moth
ing to do with them except the payment of
salaries.
Every man so placed adds a corner man
to the effective police force of the city. so
that the street car companies will accomplish
other benefits to Pittsburg besides supplying
rapid transit.
