BOOSTERS IN BAGS.
Between 40 and SO of Them at the Union
station Yesterday.

Between 40 and SO of Them at the Union
station Yesterday.
The platform at the Union station yester-
day put many people IN mind Of a barn.
yard, and their thoughts reverted back to
the old homes they had left among the green
hills. Between 40 and so men, each with a
bag, from which issued the clarion notes of
between 40 and so roosters, strutted up and
down the platform, waiting for the 7:10
train on the Cleveland and Pittsburg road
From the general cut of the men it was
easy to see they were not going to a re-
ligious revival, where chicken was to form
the chief article of diet From the hip
pocket of each man protruded something
that bulged out the coat and gave the men
the appearance of being walking original
package" shops. When the train pulled
into the shed the men got on board and pro-
ceeded to break the packages. The roosters
kept up the Growing exercise until the
train lett the station. The men were bound
for Beaver county, where a chicken main
was held, with birds from Wheeling.

FIXING THE SCALE.
Amalgamated Association Wage Com
mittee Gets to Business,
A TIMERS CONFERENCE TODAY
Miners Failed to Reach Conclusion at
Their Convention.
DAILY GRIST FROM LABOR CIRCLES

The Wage Committee of the Amalga'
mated Association went into session yester-
day morning to consider all matters pertain
ing to the wages question as referred to
them by the various sub-lodges through the
programme. William Weihe acted as
President and William Martin, Secretary.
The other members present were: James
Penney. Treasurer; First district-John E.
Cunningham, Edward Coates, Austin Or
gill, Patrick Wilson, George Leaser, James
Seymore. Second district-Harry Hooking,
D. Evans, Bridgeport, o. Fourth district
Walter j. Tormey, Vice President, Mil
waukee, Wis. Fifth district-William
Whiteman, Vice President, Muncie, Ind.
Sixth district-James II. Mutt, Vice Presi-
dent, youngstown, O.; Thomas Kim berly,
New Castle, Pa.
The committee got down to business from
the start. They decided not to have hear
ings this year by individual members or
lodges. This is done to save time and to pre-
vent an interruption of the commlttee's
work. Their report must be completed,
ready to submit to the convention Tuesday,
SO that as soon as the convention is regularly
organized they can take 1t up at once and
proceed with their work.
The convention will be attended by about
250 delegates, who will be here from all sec
tions of the country. It is impossible to
tell what changes will be made in the scale.
1t is hard to gauge the opinions OF so many
men. If the convention is guided by the
present advance in iron and steel, which, in
some places it is as much as "a during the
past year. it is reasonable to suppose the
men will ask for their share.
It is limited that some changes in the con-
stitution OF the organization is in the wind.
President Weihe is not candidate for re-
election and Secretary Martin is candi-
date for the office. Thomas Wilson, of the
Southside, who is member of Custer
Lodge, is also q candidate for the Presi-
dency. 1t has been so long since the asso-
citation has had a contest on the Presidency,
the result of the present election will no
doubt be interesting.

THE yoHNsrowN REUNION.
An Offer OF Free Music for the Occasion
DccIined With Thanks.

From the indications last night there will
be about 100 newspaper men of this city,
with their wives, sweethearts, sisters, etc., who
will leave on the special train this morning
for Johnstown, to participate in the memo
rial exercises at that place to-day. The
The train will leave at $40 O'Clock, and will
stop at East Liberty to pick up several
people at that point. The train will consist
of a baggage, combination smoking car and
three coaches. Chief Steward Albert
Meniou, of the Hotel Duquesne, will serve
the luncheon on board the train. which will
arrive at Johnstown at 10:15. A visit will
be paid by the party to the various churches,
where the services will be held. At IL
o'clock luncheon will be served. At 1:30
the cemeteries will be visited, and at 8
O'Clock the party will leave for South Fork.
A stay of 25 or 80 minutes will be made
here, and it is probable that the train will
be run further up the road. The party will
return to the city at 8:20 P. N.
Chairman Connolly, Of the Committee of
Arrangements, received telegram from
Johnstown Yesterday from q manager of one
of the local brass bands there, offering free
music for the occasion. The offer was de-
clined with thanks, on account of there
being no need of music. The manager Of
the band was probably laboring under the
impression that the reunion was to be q
demonstration, which is not the case.

A QUARTET OF FIRES.
LIGHTNING CAUSES AN 50, 900 BLAZE IN
PATTERN SHOP.

30 gle Paint and Varnish Company's Works
Burned to tho Ground - Careless
Smokers Cause Trouble-Celebrnting
Jimmie Galvin's Victory.
Lightning struck the pattern shop Of
Moorhead & McCleane's mill, at Soho,
about $50 O'Clock. last night, when the storm
was at its height. The bolt tore q strip off
the root, which is sheet iron, for distance
of 40 feet. A few moment later flames burst
out all over the building, which is 4Ox5O
feet, and stored with valuable patterns. Two
districts were called into service, to prevent
the flames spreading to the other buildings,
but the carpenter shop and storehouse
were also ruined.
The loss to the buildings will be about
$4,000, and it will take S5, 900 to replace the
patterns and machinery. The loss is COW
cred by insurance.
The plant of the Eagle Paint and Varnish
Company, on South avenue, Allegheny, was
entirely destroyed by fire yesterday after
noon. The loss will be about S12, 900, and
the insurance is $1,000. E. G. iFralich's
grease factory was also damaged to the e1-
tent of 81, 500, with an insurance of 81, 500.
The Hall Steam Pump Company suffers
loss of about $500.
CARELESS SMOKERS.
The fire broke out at 12:45 P. NJ. The
building adjoins the grounds Of the Allie
gheuy Cycling Club, where some boys were
playing baseball and smoking tobies on the
ground, and it is thought that careless
thrown stub caused the fire. The building
was two-story structure, 100 by $50 feet.
The stuff with which the place was stored
caused a thick heavy smoke that could be
seen from any point in the two cities. Two
Of the members of Hope company were
burned about the face and hands by getting
lost in the smoke, and would have been
stifed but for the breathing apparatus they
carried.
Another careless smoker set fire to two
story frame stable on Maria street, belong
ing to s. B. Charters, the Grant street gro
Ger, about o'clock last evening. The loss
will be about 5000, covered by insurance.
About the same time an alarm was in some
unaccountable manner turned in from Mercy
Hospital, and when the engines dashed up
the patients became alarmed, and for few
moments panic appeared imminent.
CELEBRATING JIMMIE's VICTORY.
Some one must have become excited over
the Importance of Jimmy Calvin having
pitched winning game of baseball yester-
day and wanted to celebrate the event by q
pyrotechnic display. At 5 o'clock last even
ing the residence of Mr.. Calvin, which is
located on Manhattan street, Allegheny, was
discovered to be on fire. The Lincoln engine
was returning front the Grant avenue fire at
the time and was pressed into service. The re-
suit was that the only damage was to the
kitchen. which was very slight.
Mrs. Calvin and children were away visit
ing at the time, and the fire is supposed to
have been caused by a small boy throwing
fire cracker into the house. The damage
will not exceed 500.

Citizens of the Second Legislative District,

Citizens of the Second Legislative District.
Turn Ont Mt the Primaries To-Day.
The citizens of the Second Legislative
district will choose delegates at the prima-
ries to be held on Saturday, May 81, who
will nominate candidates to represent Allie
gheny City in the next Legislature. 1t is
more important that we should be properly
represented in our State Legislature than in
Congress. There are three candidates pre-
sented in the Second district-two to be
nominated. Without disparagement to the
other aspirants, we would call attention to
the eminent fitness, long experience and
valuable services OF the Hon. James L.
Graham, who has been our representative
for IL years in the Senate and eight years in
the House. He was Speaker OF both bodies,
Chairman Of the Finance Committee in the
Senate, which made him leader of the Sem
ate, and Chairman of the Committee
of Ways and Means in the House,
emitting him TO the same position
in that body. Mr.. Graham has rendered
most valuable service to Allegheny.
We name but two instances: By his own
personal influence and exertions he pre-
vented the passage of the bill to consolidate
Allegheny and Pittsburg, and unaided
(almosD defeated the proposition to give the
old penltentiary grounds to the Western
University. at the same time passing bill
ceding the ground to Allegheny City for
park purposes. He has always conscien-
tiously and intelligently attended to every
duty devolving upon him as our represen-
tative. In all these years he has never from
any cause been absent from his desk for 20
days, always had the respect and confidence
of his associates, in a marked degeee, and
hence could WELD an influence that has
made him one of the very best representa-
tives in the State of Pennsylvania.
Will the citizens of Allegheny dispense
with the services of man of the character.
experience and ability of Mr.. Graham, and
substitute an untried or inexperienced rep
resentative? Mr.. Graham should be re-
turned, and will be, if the citizens attend
the primaries and care for their own inter-
ests. ALLEGHENY.
