ness In The City.
Deputy Attorney General John F. San
derson and Major John Lockhart, execu-
tive clerk in the State Department, arrived
in the city on Saturday evening and are reg
lstered at the Anderson. Major Lockhart at
one time was a clerk in this hotel, and is
well known here. He came to the city to
spend Sunday and returned to Harrisburg
last evening.
Mr.. Sanderson is here to represent the
State in a case of escheat. No known heirs
can be found for the estate of Mary HaZlett.
The question will be argued in the courts
tomorrow, and Charles F. McKeuna, who
has charge of the case, requested that
State representative be present.
Mr.. Sandersen is very tall man, with
sandy beard, and wears slouch hat He is
generally kept so busy with legal matters
that he hasn't any time for politics, and he
never discusses the chances of candi-
dates. He said if Delamater is
nominated that he thought he would be
elected. Before election day voters gener-
ally forget that they have any grievances.
Major Lockhart didn't express any
choice, but he thinks Stone is an elegant
gentleman and very deserving. He is
afraid that if Delamater is nominated there
will be some opposition to him at the polls.

DIED In His CARRIAGE.

Peter Bremen. the Well known Ex-CoaI

Play Feared by the Relatives.
Coroner Mcdowell was called to No. 31s
Second avenue yesterday, to investigate a
case surrounded by peculiar circumstances.
The relatives of Peter Bremen, who died
Saturday morning, were afraid to bury the
body, thinking there had been foul play.
About six years ago Peter Bremen was
a well-known business man OF this city. For
sometime he owned coal yard at the foot
of Ross street, near the Baltimore and Ohio
tracks, and retired quiet wealthy about the
time natural gas began to kill the coal busi-
ness. Since that time he has been engaged
in several schemes. He roomed at the
house of Thomas Murray, the bother on
Ferry street, and for the past three weeks
has been suffering with an attack OF
erysipelas. DR.. Shaw, of Penn avenue.
had been attending him. and on Saturday
morning Bremen expressed a wish 10 be
taken to the home of his brother on Second
avenue, near Brewery street.
A carriage was called and the sick man
placed in it. The doctor did not think at
the time that the invalid could not stand
Ine journey, ana allowed MIN 10 go. nile
the carriage was passing the gas works 1t
jolted, and Bremen fell over to one side.
He expired Immediately, and when the
vehicle stopped at the residence of his
brother the man was dead. The body was
still warm when it was carried into the
house, and DR.. Shaw was sent for. The
physician could do nothing but issue death
certificate, to the effect that the man had
died of erysipelas.
The dead mans relatives thought there
had been foul play, as Mr.. Bremen always
carried considerable money about his person.
There were several marks on the head and
scratches on the face and neck, but it was
found they resulted from coming into con-
tact with the side of the carriage. When
these facts were ascertained, tine Coroner in
formed the dead mans relatives it was all
right to bury the remains. The funeral will
take place from st. Paul's Cathedral at 9
o'clock this morning.

THE ATONEMENT FOR ALL.
Rev. MIR. williams Believes Christ's Death
Was Not at All In Vain.

us NOL a. All IN JutUs
The Christ Universalist Church removed
yesterday from Union Veteran Legion Hall,
on Sixth avenue, to the lecture hall of
Curry University, where services were held
in the forenoon and evening. The new hall
is more centrally located and is better
known. About half of the congregation
comes from Allegheny.
Last evening Rev. w s. Williams
preached upon the extent of the atonement
He held that the atonement meant every
thing. that it was complete or entirely void.
He described three general views of the
atonement. The partial. or Calvinist idea,
is that Christ's death atones for the sins of
the elect only, and is imperative to all the
remainder of the human race. The Armln-
ian view is that the atonement is offered to
all men, but is effectual only as to those who
accept it. The third, and the Universallst
view, is that Christ not only died for all
men, but that his death was not Intellectual
for anv man; that the atonement is not only
intended for all, but operates for all.

The Effects of Beautiful Sunday Weather
Happy Children and Their Parents En-
Joy the Scenery-Grear Throngs ot
Visitors All Day Long.
Yesterday was the first Sunday when the
Allegheny parks were really enjoyable.
On the former Sunday it rained all day,
but the wetness of the past week made the
grass and the trees fairly laugh in their
fresh verdure when the warm sun came out
yesterday morning. The vegetation is now
of that gay and radiant chrome green which
can be seen here only in the month of May.
The sun was not too warm, ard a cool wind
blew through the fresh Young leaves which
spread their odor abroad.
The air was brisk and bracing with
oxygen and redolent with the odor of grow
ing grass and leaves. Dandelions studded
the lawns with their golden stars. Bright
eyes and spring hats were in all the walks,
and gay laughter rippled over the little
lakes where the swans ruff1ed their white
wings and the wild geese looked to the sky,
calling low soft "honks" to one another, as
If bantering their mates to burst away and
f1y to the wild, waste North. Children
shouted and raced about the sparkling
fountains, and in the shaded seats young
lovers sat and talked the silly words that
have been said for many thousand spring
times past and gone.
The hot houses were thronged. The
brilliant geraniums are in bloom and some
OF the early lilies, pansies and other bright
spring flowers. The tanks in the aquatic
plant house are all occupied. but most of
the water plants are small and their leaves
cover little of the surface. The victoria
regia is baby giant yet. The only feature
OF bigness connected with it now is the
large surface of water allotted to 1t. Two
only of the water lilies have
bIoomed, but they are beautiful. They
are specimens of the azure and the
Zanzibar nymphea, both of delicate violet
blue, the Zanzibar species have bright
yellow center. The tanks are alive with
numerous little fish, golden, black and
brown, which interest the people until the
plants grow.
No flowers have been planted in the out
door beds. Superintendent Hamilton does
not expose his pets to the weather until
after the third week of May. His expert
ence has taught him that there is almost
sure to be frost about May Is to May 20.
Schenley Park was also thronged with
visitors all day yesterday, and its natural
beauties were greatly praised and enjoyed.

times in the Conemaugh Valley during the
months of June and July, and the idea is to
have reunion, to talk over the many trials
and hardships incident to the work of gath

means OF recognizing the "Limekln

ters were secured.
1t is suggested that the menu at the re-
union be made up of canned corn, beef,
salt pork, black coffee and crackers, with

also suggested to carry the idea still farther,
and have foraging party procure. the

THE IDEAL CHURCH.
Dew. DR.. J. G. Townsend's Ideas of
What it Will and Ought to Be.
POPULAR PLEASURES OF SOCIETY
Denounced by Preacher Who Will Combat
Them All Summer.
OTHER PULPIT TOPICS OF YESTERDAY

DR.. Townsend said In his sermon yester-
day morning: "Ordained priests, rites,
altars and buildings do not constitute
church. Wherever there is an assemblage
Of men and women, with the sense OF broth
erhood, the yearning for the perfect, aspira-
ton Tor the infinite. deep hunger for the
highest truth, there is the real church.
Even if, with no roof but the sky, two men
with this spiritual yearning clasp hands,
the true church is born. But the
ideal church will have, not dogmatic,
but scientific basis. The cardinal ideas
of God, freedom and Immortality will be
taught; these ideas, however, are subject to
revision and nobler Interpretation with the
expanding universe and growing intelli-
gence of men, for even ethics must have
scientific basis; its central principle must be
found or the moral sentiment is lost in senti-
mentality.
'The ideal church will have forms, for
how can there be an egg without shell?
But the shell must be fragile, that the new
life may burst its walls and be free to seek
another incarnation. The ideal church
will have real authority not that artificial
authority of great name or lnfallible book.
Its authority will be the sole and simple
authority of the truth. Not merely the truth
as we see it. but the truth verified by art,
science, literature, experience, found in the
correspondence between our thought and the
order of the universe-bottomed on the
lowest fact, but reaching to the highest stars.
''The ideal church will be, in its purpose,
humanitarian, finding the noblest worship
of God in the lowllest service to man. This
church will sympathize with the effort of
man to rise; with the working man in his
demand for the eight-hour law; with all the
deep desires for liberty, believing that more
liberty means a better government, a more
humane competition, more intelligence, and
more morality. Let US show by our words
and our life that these ideas are tr1e, and
carry with them real dynamic"

WHERE IT PINCHES.
The Wilmerding Job May Settle the
Plumbers Strike.
BIG MASS MEETING AT HOMESTEAD.
A Lengthy Election Contest in Custer
Lodge Ended at Last.
GAS FILTERS TO ASK FOR MORE WAGES

The prospects are that the plumbers
strike will be settled in day or two, as an
ticipated in yesterdays DISPATCH. 1t is
understood that Contractor Tate, who has
the big job at Wilmerding, is being pushed
by the owners of the work, and unless he
can finish it pretty soon the contract will be
Cancelled and given to another master
plumber, who has already agreed to the de-
mands of the men, but who is not a member
OF the Master Plumbers Association.
Mr.. Tate is in a quandary. There is
nothing in the rules of the Master Plumbers
Association to bind all members to the de-
cision Of a constitutional majority, and it is
said he has about made up his mind to grant
the demands of his men in preference to
losing the Wilmerding job, which amounts
to about S50.0O0. If Mr.. Tate gives in, the
men claim they have the fight won.
ONE THING TO BOTHER HIM.
The only question that is bothering Mr..
Tate is, what will be the action of the as
sociation in case he signs the scale and puts
his men to work? He is afraid it will work
against him in the future. 1t is said he had
a conference with some of the journeymen
on SaturdavNn regard to the matter, and
that he asked them if they would stand with
him and protect him against any action the
Plumbers Association might take in case
he gave in. The Executive Committee held
a meeting Yesterday and decided to support
Mr.. Tate in every way possible if he grants
the demands Of the men.
The journeymen claim that every man
who gives in is point in their favor, and if
one firm signs it will not be long until all
will be compelled to sign. They do not
fear the apprentices organization, which so
far only has membership of 30 boys out of
total number of over 300 employed in the
two cities.
ONE OF THE THREATS.
One of the master plumbers is credited
with the assertion that he will break the
strike even though he should be compelled
to send to London for plumbers. The men
are watchful, however, and expect to ship
back all who come in the same manner that
the carpenters were, who were brought to
take the places of Chicago strikers.
The strikers have the support of the gas
and steam filters. The latter met yesterday
and passed resolutions indorsing the plumb
ers. 1t is likely the gas and steam filters
will also present demands in case the
plumbers are successful. They now receive
the same wages paid the plumbers.
The timers are not sure of winning their
strike so soon, although they are just as
firm as they have been any time since they
went out.

ner. Yesterday all day a pile driver of
Shoup & Ansehutz was at work driving
piles under the center of the second span
from the southern shore. That is the span
about which there has been little scare,
some engineers considering it dangerous.
1t was deemed best TO strengthen it with
piles at once, so that there could be no
doubt about its stability. While the work
went on the bridge was crowded with men
and boys who were watching the driving.
Over that span and the one south of 1t the
Pleasant Valley cars move very slowly,
creeping along as if feeling their way from
one timber to another.
There was strong current in the Allie
gheny yesterday, and the water rushed
threateningly against the false work of the
bridge. The timbers stood unmoved. The
water was at the 12-foot mark at the Seventh
street bridge, and rising gradually.
