ANOTHER STRIKER ARRESTED.
The Men at shOenberger's Keeping Out of
the Way of the OHkers.

The Men at shOenberger's KeeplnK Out Of
the Way OF the OmEers.
The strikers at Shoenberger's mill are now
engaged in the pleasant occupation of play
ing hide-and-go-seek with the officers OF the
law. Another one was arrested yesterday,
and warrants are out for half dozen more.
Notices of injunction have also been placed
in the hands of deputies to serve as soon as
they can find the men, There was no dis
turbance yesterday, and the company has
enough men to run double turn at the blast
furnaces. They will also go on double in
the converting mill Monday night.
Yesterday the strikers, who have evaded
the officers, distributed and posted handbills
about the vicinity of the mill warning all
persons to keep away from the departments
where the men had struck. The notices had
little effect.
The strikers sent committee to the firm
Yesterday asking for q conference. Mr..
Speer replied that they had nothing to con-
fer about 1t the strikers had anything to
say to them, they could send word by the
police officers. To a DISPATCH reporter
Mr.. Speer said:
'We have our full complement of men and
the converting mill will resume double turn
on Monday night. These men have gone
out in defiance of law and order, and are
nothing but outlaws. They refuse to recog-
nize the authority of President Weihe, Of
the AmaIgamsted Association, at the same
time knowing that they were in the wrong.
The whole trouble was caused by one man,
who is the ringleader in the strike. He has
tried to terrorize the other men, but enough
of them are sensible to pay no more atten.
tion to him. We will keep the police off,
GERS on duty, and if our men are molested
every one OF the strikers will be arrested"
A committee of the strikers also called
upon President Weihe, who maintained his
position in the matter. He has acted ae-
cording to the letter ofthe law of the associa-
ton.
The man arrested yesterday is Patrick
McNichol. The others are keeping out of
the way.

THEIR INTENTIONS DECLARED.

Carpenters Have Voted In Favor of the
Eight Hour Inv = secretnry Mcclure
Tells What They Are DOinG-OnIy n Few
Unions Opposed to- 1t.
According to letter sent to The DIS
PATCH by P. ]. Mcclure, General Secre-
tary of the United Brotherhood of Carpen-
tiers and Joiners in Philadelphia, the car
penters of the country have declared in
favor Of the eight-hour law. He says they
took vote on the question some time ago.
Three hundred and three unions voted in
favor of the law, and "a opposed it. Two
hundred unions did not vote at the time, but
since then have affirmatively recommended
the adoption of the law.
. The letter was written in reply to the
statement made by w. s. Sharon that the
carpenters were not in favor of the move
ment. He says that at the recent meeting of
the vice presidents of the organization,
held in his Office last month, the matter was
not officially dealt with in any way. Con-
tinuing he says:
Long in advance of the meeting of the vice
presidents the matter of vote of the local
uni6ns was settled. On October 30, 16S9-twO
months and half prior to the meeting Of the
of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters was
taken. and it resulted as follows: Three
hundred and three unions in favor of pushing
the e1ghthour movement, and "A unions op-
posed to 1t, with 200 unions not voting at the
time, which have since sent in favorable re-
turns. That is evidently very decided ma
jority in favor Of the movement-notwithstan
ing Mr.. Sharon says he has not found one
carpenter who favors 1t.
He further assumes to say that mot one car
penter's council in the country will vote to de-
mand the changes" yet the vote herein shown
disposes of that assumption, and, as the chief
executive officer of the United Brotherhood, I
desire to say that since January /, 1890, dozens
of councils of carpenters have sent notice to
my Office of their intention of demanding
reduction Of working hours to eight per day on
May1.
Mr.. Sharon further presumes to speak for the
carpenters and says ''they favor the scheme
advocated by the Knights of Labor to
take off one-half hour per day each
year until they get the eight-hour day
established" fail to know how Mr.. Sharon
has canvassed the sentiment of the carpenters
so as to announce such conclusion, but do
know and can freely say that the members of
our United Brotherhood do not believe in any
such sublime mathematical system of ''reduc-
tion descending" for shortening their hours of
labor. We have had the eight-hour day in
operation in many cities since 1886. and the
year 1890 will witness many more added to the
list. Mr.. Sharon will discover, before another
year has passed over his head, the practica-
bility and value of the eight-hour day. The
builders and contractors all over the country
are preparing for it. as they resolved to do at
their National Convention in st. Paul last
month

LOOKING FOR THE NEEDPUL.
Meeting of the Democratic Financial
Committee In Philadelphia.

Meeting of the Democratic Financial
Committee In Philadelphia.
Colonel J. W. Echols left for Philadel-
phia last night to attend a meeting of the
State Democratic Financial Committee to-
day and a gathering of the Scotch-Irish
Society on Monday. The Colonel stated that
he didn't know what would be done in the
way of replenishing the treasury, but he
wagered something would drop in State
politics very soon. The other members of
the committee from Western Pennsylvania
are ex-Congressman W. L. Scott and J. NJ.
Guffy. The meeting was called by Chair
man Harrity.
Colonel Echols thinks the Democratic
trend for Governor is toward Robert E. Pat
tison. W. L. Scott has declared for the ex-
Governor, and the politicians realize that
the people prefer him, and they won't OBJ
ject. Colonel Echols says if Pattison is
nominated that he will carry Philadelphia
county and win. He would like to see
Major Montooth at the head of the Repub-
ican ticket, but he declares Delamater is
the easiest man to beat. In Philadelphia
he claims that Montooth is much more
popular with the people than the Mead
vile man, but the latter has the workers at
his back. The Colouel insists that no mat
ter who is nominated on the Republican
side, the Democrats with Pattison will
sweep the State.

DOWN ON THEIR LUCK,
Odd Customers Driven Into the Central
Station a Gold Nighf-A Senator'S
Brother Having Hard Time-TrOublss
of n Earr7an lad

| Odd Customers Driven Into the Central
Station on n Gold Nighf-A Senator'S
Brother Having Hard Time-TrOubles
of n German Lad.
A thin, careworn man with a grsyish
beard applied last night at the Central
police station for lodging until morning.
He was dressed genteellY, had an intelligent
face and spoke WE'LL He said that he was
Charles Gettinger of Martinsburg, W. Va,
that he was 46 years old and bookkeeper
BY vocation. He is brother of State Sena-
tor Gettinger, of West Virginia, who is
man of means and one of the Democratic
leaders in the Legislature of that State.
Mr. Gettinger said that he went, some
months ago, to Buffalo, where he occupied a
good position with a large house. The raw
lake winds did not agree with him. He
contracted bad cold and was confined to
his bed by serious attack of pneumonia.
This wasted his substance. On his recovery
he determined to return to West Virginia.
He had money sufficient to bring him to
Pittsburg, where he arrived last Wednesday
evening. Having written to his brother
before his departure from Buffalo, he expect
ed to find here letter containing money.
None was found. He waited expectant, but
the letter had not come yesterday. Friday
morning his last money was spent for break
fast. He walked the cold streets all day,
and last night at 9 o'clock was forced to
apply to the police for shelter. He was
given a warm place to sleep.
There were many applicants for lodging at
the station houses last night. When a cold
snap comes the ragged men flock to the
police by dozens. At the Central, during
cold weather, a special docket is kept to reg
lister the names of dodgers" Many of
them could tell strange and pitiable stories
The cause of the misfortunes of most of
them is whisky, but some are the victims of
illness or i'll luck.
One of the applicants at the Central last
night was stout German lad named Fred
Guckheim. He looked honest and temper
ate and the insides of his hands were callous
from honest toll. Thursday night he had
been arrested for sleeping in a mill shed at
Sixteenth street. In the morning he was re-
leased. He said he was a gardener by trade,
that he had been in America only seven
months and had worked in Philadelphia.
He came to Pittsburg three weeks ago, but
had hunted in vain for work. If it were
summer he thought he could find something
to do. The Inspector suggested to him that
it might be good thing to go to the work.
house for 80 days. There he could be
housed, clothed and fed, and at the end of
that time the season for gardeners work
would be open. After some argument, the
young man agreed to tie Inspectors sug-
gestion, and he was taken back to a cell.
He said that he would go back to Deutch-
land as soon as he could find work and get
enough money. 81 always had work there"

TIE PROBLEM OF PAIN.

Rev. George Hodges Discourse at St.
Peters Episcopal Church Last Might
The First of a series of Lenten Lee.
tures-l1uch Food for Thought.
St. Peters Episcopal Church was well
filled last night to hear the first of a series
of Lenten lectures delivered under the aus
pices of the Kings Sons and Kings Daugh-
ters, by the Rev. George Hodges, pastor of
Calvary Church, East End. The subject of
Mr.. Hodges discourse was ''The Problem of
Pain" In it he endeavored to show the
difference existings between the pain of
nature and the pain of sin, and how the ex-
istsnee of both could be reconciled as being
ordained for Snsn's good in the omnipoten t
Judgment of God. The speaker prefaced his
remarks by an allusion to the printer
who mistook the telephone communication
of his subject. For pain" he understood
Cain" and as such had given it to the
public. The unraveling of the problem of
the latter he would not care to undertake,
as it was question that had been time and
again discussed without decisive result.
Pain could be defined as being of two diff
ferent kinds. The one was derived from ma
ture, the other from sin; of the physical
anu OF Ine conscience. Ine lnOlHerence OF
the first as to whom or what it injured, the
saloon often being saved and the church de-
stroyed; the good man killed in his
early youth and the bad permitted
to live curse to himself and his fellow
man, had often been the means of leading
men to believe that whatever God did was
not good or right, therefore He could not be
God; so that they had been led away to un-
belief. This was not as it should be. Men
accept the authorities of philosophers and
scientists, and yet would not accept that of
God. 1t was only the difference by which they
were adjudged. To accept the latter it is
necessary to abandon the path of authority
and follow that of reason. 1t is useless to
ask why God does not create men with free
will and without sin. That would be reduc-
ing mankind to the level of machine. Such
was not Gods object in the creation, nor
could He create such paradox. BE might
as we'll endeavor to make circular triangle.
1t would therefore be impossible for man to
have freedom OF choice without possibility
of sin, and the penalty therefor was pain.
The lecture was listened to attentively
throughout, as it was a plain, unostents-
tious illustration of ideas which are likely
to and do occur to men every day, and it
showed by what means a clew could be
gained by which many of the abstruse
problems occurring to the thinking mind
could be reasoned into clearness.

MAKING BOTH ENDS MEET.

The Finance Committee to Meet To-day
10 Cover the Big Deficiency in Some
Manuer-WhY the Figures Fell so Far
Short.
The deficiency in the ciry's receipts dur
ing the fiscal year just ended, as announced
in yesterdays DISPATCH, was yesterday
authoritatively stated to amount within q
few cents of S297, 900. The books Of the
City Controller show that while it was esti-
mated, at the time the last appropriation
ordinance was passed, the city would get
81, 165, $50 75 from the II mill tax levy on
the estimated valuation OF $3.50, 900, 900,
there have only been 81, 81, ,699 13 received,
leaving deficiency of $253, PSI So.
1t was also estimated that S50, 900 would
be received as the citY's share from LIQUOR
business, but as the court only granted
about one-third as many licenses as was ex-
peeted, only 81, ,O24 go was received from
that source, or "a, deficiency of S32, ,975 08,
which, added to the figures above, shows a
deficiency of S286, ,236 20. To this amount
is added according to the city's accounts,
something over $4,000, which is chargeable
to various departments that have not come
up to expectations.
1t is understood that the Finance Com
mittee will meet this afternoon, and refer
the appropriation ordinance to a sub-com-
mittee with instructions to report next
Monday.

COMPLETELY SURPRISED.

Mr.. Alexander Murdoch Presented With u
Diamond Pin by the Press Club.
Yesterday afternoon call was made upon
Mr.. Alexander Murdoch, the well-known
florist, 5O8 Smithield street, by the commit
tee in charge of the recent annual dinner Of
