Of Jules Mary.

"And you, my little one, Will you oe more

Has some one told you that you would cause
your father great trouble if you told what
you saw your birthday night when you were
on the balcony with your mothers"

She began to shiver, and her little white

Roger understood this terror and was troubled
by it.

CHAPTER VII.

The case dragged OH for several DAYS, and
nothing Of Importance interviewed. To all the
questions Roger answered.:
~ am innocent, but shall not defend nv
self. They can do as they please with me-"
He delivered himself up to the fatality
which seemed to have taken possession of
him. II there had been the least doubt in the
mind OF the justices or lack of connecting
links i'll the chain of evidence, Roger might
have been saved, but unhappily everything
seemed to point to bis guilt, and all these
things formed Ia the mind of NJ De Ligne-
ROLES an unshakable proof After this first
examination the case was sent up to the court
of assizes of Seine-et Disc, then in session at
Versailles.
Henriette learned this through the papers.
She went out no more and seemed buried in
a strange torpor, mental and physical. She
never pronounced a word and even seemed to
forget tue existence of her little girl, and sat
hours without moving or appearing to see.
She ate almost nothing and did not attempt
to go to bed at all, and il she did sleep it was
sitting in her chair.
Her little girl watched over her as if she
was the mother and Henriette the child, and
she doubtless would have starved had it not
been for the child
Henriette had an uncle who lived at some
thirty or forty miles from there, and hearing
of his niece's trouble, he and his good old
wife left their home and foundry and
FASTENED to her, and the childless old couple
did everything they could possibly imagine to
tighten her sad load.
One morning Henrietta was gone. There
was no trace of her to be discovered and the
most diligent search revealed nothing, until
one day, some six or seven days after her dis
appearance, a policeman found on the bank
OF the river tiny slipper which was recog-
nized as hers.
Then they dragged the river and searched
for miles along its banks, but they never
found the body Of poor Henrietta, and the
uncle and aunt remained IN the house TO keep

Seusible Hints for Summer,

To the many hundreds of families who do
not find it convenient to leave the city for
the summer months the following hints Will
be found valuable. Avoid exposure to the
sun as lar as possible; do as little cooking as
you can, thereby keeping your house and
yourself cool, and the best summer drink by
all odds is buttermilk. Cover your floors
with cool and clean mating, hang lace cur
tains to your windows, thereby letting in the
air and keeping out the flies, and where cur
tains are not used hang window shades that
will exclude the light and heat. During
the day wear a neat gingham dress and for
evening put on cool satine wrapper, bathe
every day and get your hosiery, underwear,
fans, etc., from Arthur Schondelmyer &
Co.. who have mattings at &c and 10c per
yard, lace curtains at 81 pair and upward,
window shades at 25c apiece and upward,
ginghams, percales and satines from 1Oc to
25c per yard. By observing the above hints
you will have no trouble getting through

A COLD PIPE LINE.

Composition and Purposes of the New Ale
Iesheny Cooling Company-Operations
TO be Commenced ms Soon as Possible
Cool Liquids for Customers.
The secrecy so long maintained about the
members of the Pennsylvania Cooling Com
pany, of Allegheny, was broken yesterday
by Superintendent Edward Armstrong, OF
the Allegheny Water Works. The COM
pany was formed to use one of Mr.. Arm
strong's patents for distributing cooling
LIQUIDS to the houses in Allegheny, by
means of pipes. The idea is to do away
with the use of ice. The company had in
troduced an ordinance into Councils granting
it the right to lay pipe lines over various
streets but the ordinance was referred BACK TO
the Committee on Streets and sewers, Dy Conl-
mon Council. During all the discussions MOTH
ing could be learned on the outside as TO VINO
composed the company.
Andrew ]. Lawrence, of Sproull Lawrence,
is at the head of the scheme, as President OF
the Pennsylvania Cooling COMPANY. Reese Z,
William A. Ford, of the Ben Franklin !nsnT-
auce Company is the Secretary, and Charles
Hetzel, of the Second National Bank, is Treas
urer.
In speaking of the future of the company,
Mr.. Armstrong said: I'VE intendto commence
operations Just as soon as we get our or
dinance through. If it had passed we
would have had our plant going IN
so DAYS. We do not know just how big plant
we will need. That will depend on the tern.
tory we will cover. The cooling liquids will be
made by the ordinary ice machines. Inc
change to liquids will be made after the ice
machines have done their work. With our
process a plant of the capacity of 200 tons OF
ice a day will give us results when
would equal 500 tons per day. don't know
where the main plant will be located, as we
have several sites in view We do not need an
immense plant to start with, but we can easily
add to it as our territory increases"

SETTLED THE STRIKE.
The American Iron Works Affair
Arranged in Conference.
WORK TO BE SHORTLY RESUMED.
Green Glass Men to Ask 10 Per Cent Ad-
vance on Beer Bottles.
THE CARNEGIE PLANTS ENLARGED

AS a result of conference held last even
ing between the interested parties in the
American Iron Works difficulty complete
settlement of the matter has ensued. The
firm was represented by William Jones and
Manager G. Shively, and there were also
present representatives from the different
departments, and Secretary William Mar
tin, of the Amalgamated Association.
The latter gentleman took occasion to
point out that, practically, the pudding de-
partment in the works had two sides to it,
or in other words, that since there are two
separate trains of muck rolls, one-half of the
furnaces were supplying one train, irrespec-
tive of what the other might be doing.
Thus, Mr.. Martin argued, the mill was
practically two mills, and SO with 40 fur
naces to train of rolls, % furnaces would
constitute majority of the furnaces
under clause of the present scale. AS it was
improbable that more than one-half this num-
Der would be working on hard mixture at
time. this reading of the scale would give the
men an opportunity of appealing under the
clause.
With this view the committee of the men and
the firm agreed. A verbal agreement or mu-
tual understanding as to the reading OF clause
of the scale has thus been arrived at without
affecting the scale as signed.
Previously to the conference referred to, Mr.
Martin visited meetings of the men interested
and explained to them the construction OF the
clause, as given. The explanation was received
with satisfaction, and the opinion was openly
expressed that If the matter had been placed in
that light earlier the men would not have
struck work. The agreement was reached too
late in the evening to allow of the men turning
In to-day, but they will probably resume to-
morrow or Thursday.
The lodges concerned in the matter will meet
to-day to ratify the agreement of their repre-
sentatives at the conference. In all respects
other than the construction of the majority
phrase in clause 8, the clause, and scale gener.
ally, stand.

BEER BOTTLE BLOWERS.
Green Glass Workers to Demand 10 Per
Cent Increase ON This Ware.

Green Glass Workers to Demand 10 Fer
Cent Increase on This Ware.
Trouble ahead for green bottle manufacture
ers seems to be one outcome of the Baltimore
Convention of the Green Glassblowers. The
statement is a bit premature iDasmuch as the
scale for the ensuing year has not yet been
presented to the manufacturers; but sufficient
of the intentions of the workers leaked
out yesterday to warrant the assertion. When
manufacturers receive the scale, as they will In
a week or SO, they will find embodied in it de-
mand for an increase in the price of beer and
pop bottles of 10 per cent. This demand does
not seem large, but it will prove enough, If sus-
tanned, to create the biggest kind of rumpus
in the trade.
More especially will this district be affected
because beer and pop bottles comprise the
bulk OF the work in that line. That the manu-
facturers will not entertain the demand is
certainty. The conditions of the trade during
the past year have been none of the best, and
it is claimed that to concede 10 per cent on
present prices would be to cut off the httle're-
naming profit.
Should the men persist in the demand. a
heightened fight would doubtless ensue, and
with the result, perhaps, of increasing the num-
ber of non-union factories in the country. The
green bottle workers have not added to their
strength, numerically, during the past year.
Several houses have been lost to organized
labor. and a halt may be called before any
struggle or new scale is entered upon.
The number of union green bottle blowers in
the country is about L200; non-union, about
600. The fact that manufacturers are beginning
to advertise for apprentices may be taken as in
Louis Arlington, of Massilon, o., has been
reelected President of L. A. 143, K of (which
comprises all of the green glass blowers of the

PLUG-UGLIES DEPARTING.
MAGISTRATE LESLIE NOTICES A RAPID
DECREASE IN RoWDYIsM.


The Tough Element Cowed by the Prompti.
tude of the Police-Two Instances Given
Sudden Action Follows n Threat Of
Discbarge-Caught Before Morning.
Police Magistrate Leslie, during visit
to Mayor Gourley yesterday, spoke of the
decadence of rowdyism in Pittsburg during
the past two or three years. Mr.. Leslie has
been Alderman and Police Magistrate Of
of the Seventeenth ward for many years.
The Lawrenceville district used to have the
reputation oil being a very hard section Of
the city, and bloody fights were everyday
Incidents.
Mr.. Leslie said: SIT is remarkable how
fast the Pittsburg plug-ugly is disappearing.
There is not one-third of the arrests made IN
the city that there used to be, notwithstand-
ing the increased efficiency OF the
police force. Rowdyism appears to
be going out of fashion, there IS
hnd this
will soon be little or nothing for the follce
Magistrates to do. The tough element appears
to be thoroughly cowed by the promptness
with which the police follow up any outrage.
This statement was called forth by refer
ence to the arrest of the Britain boys, VINO
beat Joseph SIroup. and David Nation, VINO as
5duiteu hIs. Lucy JenhinS ou OSso-N"y n-t,Is :
There was considerable hustling done to make
the latter arrest. The police in the Twelfth
ward were taking matters very easily on Sum-
day, and had not caught the man when In
spector McAleese heard of the occurrence in the
evening. Then there was grand shaking up:
The Inspector jumped into his buggy and
drove to the Twelfth ward station. where he
stated very earnestly that unless the man was
under arrest before morning. the city pay roll
would cease to be of interest TO some members
of the force When the Inspector got down to
the station house yesterday morning, Nation
was under arrest.
