THE HOGG CONVENTION.
Through a Republican Eye Glass

Through kepuDhcan Eye Glass,
The personnel of the HOgg convention,
as it appeared by glance over the body
as they first took their seats in kriSch
hall impressed the observer with the fact
that it was composed Of young and mid
dleagcd men: the men over fifty were
very scarce.
1t was a very orderly, we'll behaved
body, and its nationality decidedly Amer
lean.
The colorcd democracy was represented
by proxy.
There was a notable absence of the old
''wah hOSSeS."
When the band struck up Dixie" there
was an attempt to get up the ''Old rebel
YELL" but it died away softly in arches of
the hall.
A little hog charm raised on district
staff brought forth the soothing even
ing CALL so familiar on all Texas farms,
calling the hogs to supper, but 1t indicat-
ed the drift of sentiment.
Not sentimental, but decidedly practi-
cal was the sound of the old farmers ul-
ably to his pet pOrkers.
So large is the hall that while the par
son was praying for the success of the
convention, district delegation in the
southwest corner went on with their eau
Gus proceedings.
Chairman Finley was not very happy
or very truthful in his statement OF the
condition Of Texas when the democracy
assumed control of the hall. But this
could not be expected considering the
source.
And he told the HOggites that we, that
includes us all, were threatened with
the loss of our elective franchise though
| the force bill. This statement is on par
| with all HOgg statements.
When it came to organizing the conven-
| ton it proved to be thoroughly HOgg anC
| we'll CREASED.
A man was nominated for secretary
| who had been rocked in a democratic
| cradle" he was a curiosity the only one
of his kind.
Down in front" was yelled on all side
| at big HOggite who insisted on Standin!
on chair and tanning himself.
An attempt to bring beer in the hal
met with stout resistance and by vOtC
was ordered out.
1t is decidedly class convention ant
undemOcratic as well as unrepublican
The people are not all represented.
The dark horses are all in their stable
and are likely to stay there.
Mr.. TarletOn's defence of the cOnven
ton, that it was democratic cOnventiO
because it had been produced by the OpeT
alton of the party machinery, was tn
only one that could be put up, but it wa
very weak.
From a republican standpoint the Hog
! convention marks new era in the pol
tics of the state.
1t will not be difficult for any sensib
democrat TO vote the republican tick
hereafter.
There is no race question in TeXa
there is no democratic issue, to divide Il
, people.
/ The republican party is the friend al
patron of the great agent of clvilizatiC
and producer of wealth. the railroad.
We want more railroads and mo
capitalists in Texas.
Q We do not favor cOnfiscation of ra
q roads by any kind of legislation, direct
indirect, hence we join issue with N
= lIOgg and his followers.

An Unnatural Monster.

COLUMBIA, :. c., August l2-The
jury in the case of George 5. Turner,
of Spartanburg, brought in a verdict
ofguilty at II O'Clock Saturday night.
He was Il wealthy cotton mill owne r
and was charged with numbering his
wife's brother after having seduced
his sister-iE-law. They deliberated
for three hours. Turner will prob
ably be sentenced to death tomorrow,
when an appeal will doubtless be
made for new trial. 1t is highly
probable that in that event q third
attempt will Qbe made to lynch him.
The people of the city and county of
Spartanburg are simply enraged
against this man, and the incidents
of his trial made it in some respects
the most remarkable on record.
Whenever a good point was made
against the prisoner by witnesses for
the solicitor, the audience of men and
women, who fairly packed the court
room, would applaud and cheer in an
enthusiastic manner. 1t seems that
the officers of the court made little at
tempt to suppress this extraordinary
demonstration. Turner is being
strongly guarded and when being
taken from the Jail to the court a line
OF men marched on each side of him.
He Appeals haggard.

TRYING A TEST CASE.

Remlnlscence of the Flood of 1888
Damages Wanted From Allegheny City
on Account of the Loss Of n COaIbOat
Flcet-COurt Notes.
The case of William Jackson against ALE
gheny City vas argued before Judge Acheson
in the United States District Court yesterday.
The suit is for damages for the loss Of Jack
sons feet of coalboats which was carried
away from its moorings at the Allegheny
wharf by the flood of February, 1888. The
city, it is claimed, was responsible for not sup
plying the proper ring posts to tie to. The
amount claimed is 1888 50. The plaintiff as
serts that the city should provide sufficient
means at the wharf to keep boats and fleets
secure. 1t is also maintained that the city did
so until the Pittsburg and Western Railroad
Company occupied the wharf, when the ring
posts, etc., were covered up and never re-
placed.
The defense admits that it is their duty to
keep the wharf in good condition, but claim
that IL any devices were needed I5r tieing the
craft it was the duty of the owners to provide
them. The loss, it was asserted, was caused
either by the plaintiffs g negligence or the act
of God. The jurisdiction of the dourt is also
denied on the ground that the case is not one
in admiralty, because the plaintiff was not a
navigator, nor the feets or barges a vessel
understhe meaning of the phrase, and that it
should be tried in the Common Pleas Court.
The Court took the papers and reserved the
decision. The suit is q test case, several more
cases pending on the decision.

CANT CUT IT MUCH.
What it is Going 10 Cost to Run
Allegheny City This Year.
THREE QUARTERS OF A MILLION
Notwithstanding Considerable Pruning
Done in Committee.
ONLY $4,000 ALLOWED THE LIBRARY


At the meeting of the Allegheny Finance
Committee last night it was decided to ap-
propriate $3.50, 1sO 05 for the current year
to run the city. Last year the appropria-
tions amounted to $7O1, ,227 30.
The Carnegie Library appropriation of
500, 900 asked for by the City Property
Committee was reduced to $4,000. The
police appropriation was cut down $1,000,
the Street Department 5000, and other ap-
propriations asked for were cut proportion
ately. Nearly every department asked for
an increase notably the Water Department,
which was granted $40, 900 more than last
year, notwithstanding the cut. The Street
and Sewer Departments were allowed an ad-
ditional $4,000.
The city tax for the year will be mills,
which will be 80 mills more than last
owing to the increase in the total of the ap-
preparation. The poor tax is mill, sink
ing fund tax 4 OF mill, sewer tax Il Of a
mill, High School building tax "A and bus
iness tax mill. The sewer tax is to pay
for old sewer bonds issued before provision
was made for them by a sinking fund. The
business tax is mill on each dollar OF
actual sales.
The appropriations for 1890 as compared
with those for 1889 are as follows:

CAPTURED TIE sPOILs.

The Booty Taken by Alleged shOpliffers
From Various FIrms-EVidences Of Taste
and Judgmenr-The Hearing Ser for FRI
day Next.
The hearing before Mayor Pearson in the
case Of Mrs. Annie Gray and Josephine
Kennedy, arrested on Saturday charged
with shoplitting, was to have been held yes
terday afternoon but was postponed. w.
D. Moore, who appeared for the women.
was not particularly anxious to have the
hearing go on, and agreed with the Mayor
when he suggested postponement.
The idea of the police is that if more time
were given certain drygoods dealers in the
city they could identify lot of the goods
in the women's house on South avenue.
Yesterday morning Detectives Kirsch-
Ter, Murphy and Glenn took repre-
sentatives of several firms to the
house to look at the goods. They
were members Of Campbell & Dick,
Fleishman & Co., Heard, Biber 8 Easton,
and Joseph Horne & Co. All Of them
identified the goods as being the same as
they carried in stock, but they could not
positively say that anything in the lot had
been stolen from them. In nearly every
case the marks had been removed or erased
from the articles and nothing to make good
an Identification was left.
One of the men who visited the house
yesterday was Mr.. Possiel, of the old firm Of
Gray, Possiel & Rese, and now Of Possiel
& Rese. Among lot of dusty boxes that
had evidently been there. for some
years, he recognized articles that the
old firm used to deal in, but
he could not say they had been stolen,
though there were many more than neces-
sary for anybody's immediate use. Among
other articles that he recognized was a lot OF
fine silk hose for gentlemen, that sold for
81 80 pair. There was a trunk full of
these. He also saw other articles of fur
nishing goods, handkerchiefs, scaTfs and the
like, that the old firm dealt in. Some of
those present were inclined to believe the
police had exaggerated the value OF the
goods in the house, but one and all agreed
on seeing it that it had not been, concluding
that possibly there were SIC, 900 worth stored
away in the building.
The hearing in the case will be held on
Friday afternoon.

TROUBLE In THE COMaITTEE.
The BoycOtters May Turn Around and Boy
colt Their President

The RoycOtters May Turn Around Pnd Boy
colt Their President.
A meeting Of the General Committee Of
labor organizations, was held last night in
the Knights of Labor Hall and, reports OF
the boycott against S. S. Marvin were read.
There is considerable trouble among the
members of the committee. This is the or
ganization created among the different labor
unions some months ago, for the purpose Of
prosecuting the boycott work, instigated BY
the Marvin strike. Several weeks ago, it
was called the Allegheny County Grievance
Committee and an attempt was made to
break away from the Knights of Labor con-
nection. This, it is said, was caused by the
defeat of john 0'Shea for Master Work
man, who is Chairman of the committee.
Mr.. O'Shea wants the committee to meet in
another hall. This would necessitate the
payment of rent which the committee object
to doing.
Two weeks ago Mr.. O'Shea, upon adjourn.
ing the meeting. said they would meet again
at the call OF the Chair. The committee
had been meeting every Monday evening,
and as no notice was received for meeting
last night week ago, it was decided by a
number of members that they would meet
without the Chairman, if he die not appear
last night. What the Allegheny County
Grievance Com mittee was, has been a mys-
terry to great many labor people.

PLEASED ELECTRICIANS.

High Praise for the New Fourteenth Ward
Engine House.
The Eastern electricians who spent vester-
day in Pittsburg as the guests OF Superin-
tendent Morris Mead, of the Bureau Of
Electricity, left last night feeling that their
time had been we'll spent The party had
been rovally entertained, and they voted
Mr.. Mead brick with golden color. In
the morning the party visited the Westing-
house plant. where they were much inter
ested in the alternating system and the
converter, something that the majority of
them had never seen before.
Some time also was put in examining the
electric apparatus of the city. They were
much pleased with the fine boards and
gongs and the devices adopted for connect
ing the various wires into one system.
They declared that the new Fourteenth
ward engine house was the finest in the
world, and Mr.. Mead declares this is the
truth.
On the subject of overhead wires the cleo
tricians were a unit in saying that theT
should go under ground as soon as a better
system can be devised. It is only q ques-
tion of expense, they said; and the time will
come when everybody will be glad to have
them out of the way.

THE Baboring Mans Political Protective As
socIation, met last night at Franklin school
house and Reimbursed Henry L Gourley for
Mayor.
THE withdrawal of W. G. Griffith from the
mayoralty race in Allegheny, is regarded as
giving L R. Stayton good fighting chance for
success.
ROGER O'MARA refuses to withdraw his bet
made with Daniel Donahue, of the Thirty-sixth
ward, the stakes being in the hands of Pat
Foley. the Chairman of the City Democratic
Executive Committee. The bet was 500 even
on the outcome of the election, and Mr.. Dona-
hue wishes to pay the forfeit.
Up on the hill Duncan hackers could be
found everywhere in the Thirteenth ward.
Early in the day proposition was alleged to
have been made to his leaders to trade OFF votes
for Gourley This was refused and it will be a
hot fight Duncan and Miller were both conf
dent of election, although one of them will
have less confidence in his friends by evening

HAYS GETS CHURCH
His Petition Finally Granted by the
Allegheny Presbytery.
TIE DOCTOR WAS EXPECTING 1T.
Mcclure Avenue Congregation is Assigned
Anew Pastor.
OTHER CHURCH MATTERS DISCUSSED

The Central Presbyterian Church trouble
was finally settled yesterday and DIR. 1. N.
Hays will be allowed to organize his new
congregation. 1t had been intimAted that
the Presbyterial Committee, to which the
petition was referred, would submit an un-
favorable report, but they surprised the
people by recommending to Presbytery that
the request of DIR. Hays be granted. There
was hard fight against it. but the Hays
faction had the strongest support, and they
succeeded in having the petition granted by
a vote of % yeas to 16 nays.
The Presbytery placed some conditions on
the permission granted. The new church
must be located within the limits of the Sec
ond ward, and must not be within six
blocks of the Central Presbyterian Church
at Lacock and Anderson streets. For the
present the congregation was given permis-
sion to worship in the Cyclorama Hall, on
Irwin avenue. It was distinctly understood
before the vote was taken that the Presby-
terry would not give any financial assistance
to the new church and that the members
must depend on themselves.
+ Rev. n. G. Ferguson, Of the Ellsworth
Onurcns was QlsulsSeu 70 Tue 4 lrSt Cnurcn,
of Canton, o., and the call Of the Mcclure
Avenue Church to Rev. s. J.Gof, of Brook
Vile, was approved, and permission given
to prosecute the call before the Presbytery,
to which Mr.. Gotf is now attached.
When seen by DISPATCH reporter, DR..
Hays said he had not been uneasy about the
final action Of the Presbytery on the matter.
So many of the Central Church members
had signed petition for a new church that
he could not see how the request could be
refused. Had it been denied these people
would have left the Central Church anyway,
so that the new congregation will not have
a more serious effect on the Central Church
than if the committees recommendation
had not been adopted.
DR.. Hays will take about 100 members
from the Central Church, and the new one
will be the largest congregation DR.. Hays
has ever seen organized.
