NOT FOB A CHURCH SITE.

So. Peters Episcopal Church Not Buying
Property on Grant srreer-Tho Pure
chaser IL Mrs. Read, Who 10 BUYING for
Investment.
It was reported yesterday that representa-
tives of st. Peters Protestant Episcopal
Church, ct the corner of Grant and Diamond
streets, were attempting to buy property on
Grant street for new church building. It
was thought that recent negotiations for
properties on the east side of Grant street,
below Sixth avenue, were for that congrega-
tion.
The janitor Of the church was seen at the
building, and denied that the Vestry was
looking for new property. He said: "This
property has not been sold. Some months
ago an offer was made for ii, but it was con-
sidered inadequate by the vestry. The con-
gregation is not anxious to sell, and will DO
so only if a good figure is named. The
no debts to oppress it.
''The Yestry would like to have q larger
building. There is not nearly enough room
here, and larger property is needed. No
effort to make q change, however, will be
made unless the opportunity offered is q
good one"
The property on Grant street, below Sixth
avenue, which has recently changed hands,
has been purchased by Mrs. Read, widow
lady of large means living in the Eighth
ward. She bought the property at No. COS
Grant street from Patrick Kane, of Law
renceVille, paying $40, 900 for lot 81 feet
wide and 80 feet deep. The lot contains a
two-story frame building, now occupied by
Mrs. e. Thompson as an intelligence Office.
Mrs Read said that it was her intention to
remodel the building to some extent, put in
a new store front and rent the property. She
is simply buying it as q good investment for
her money.
She offered the same price for the building
and lot at No. 610 Grant street, owned and
occupied by j. Leininger, the barber. Mr..
Leininger did not consider the price offered
to be enough, and declined to sell at that
figure.
Mrs. Read has been negotiating for other
property in that neighborhood. She not
long ago secured the Siebeneck property at
the corner of Fifth avenue and Federal
street, and will have it improved for busi-
ness purposes. She is not a member of st.
Peters Church, and her purchases have no
connection with that institution.

BUCKLEY WON AGAIN.

Lively Session of the Independents SOVeF-
eiEns of Industry-CharEes Against an
OhiciaI May Lead the Order Into Court
A Move to Extend the Organization.
The Grand Council of the Independent
Sovereigns of Industry held its annual ses-
sion last night. 1t was q lively session
almost from the beginning. 1t was under
stood that move was being made among
the older councils OF the order to secure q
change in the officers of the Grand Council.
The fight centered on the Office of Grand
President.
At the previous quarterly meeting of the
Grand Council Mr.. Buckley, C. B. Stewart,
of Williamsburg, and James II. Brown were
nominated. 1t was claimed last night by
some that Mr.. Buckley and Mr.. Stewart
had worked combination to defeat Brown,
and when the vote was announced
Mr.. Buckley was a winner on the second
ballet by q majority of one vote, it being
Buckley 81, Brown 56 The election for
the remainder of the Offices resulted as fol-
lows: Grand Vice President, William Gra-
ham; Grand Secretary, Samuel Harper;
Grand Treasurer, Theodore A1shultz; Grand
Conductor, Thomas Lewellyn; Grand Inner
Guard, j. NJ. Gould; Grand Outer Guard,
William j. Dick; Grand Trustees j. d.
Shayl, William Mccullough, w. R. Mich
olson, Mrs. Bella Hooten, J. D. Carey, G.
B. Stewart and D. O'Connell.
There was a lively skirmish over the
action of the Grievance Committee in bring
ing in q decision on charges preferred
against one of the grand officers, without
having tried the case. Several attempts
were made to have the matter attended to
properly, but BY the rulings of Grand
President Buckley the case was quashed.
Those pushing the matter say it will likely
be carried into court. The Sovereigns are
not prospering with as much harmony as
they might, and unless the differences can
be smooth over pretty soon, they are
likely TO lead to division, and possibly a
disruption of the order entirely.
The routine business transacted last night
included the reading of the reports of the
grand officers. These showed that there is
a total membership of S,210. The receipts
for the last quarter were $726 81. Since the
late treasurer, j. w. Patton, absconded the
Grand CSuncil has accumulated fund of
nearly 81, 900, with all bills paid The sal
aries of the Grand President and Grand Sec
-retary were increased to S225 and S4OO re-
spectiEely. A committee Of five members
with G. NJ. Murphy as chairman, was ap-
pointed to revise the general laws of the
order with view to extending the Sover-
eigns into adjoining counties and States.
The newly elected officers were installed,
and the Grand Council adjourned at II
O'Clock.

CRUIKSHANK AHEAD.

Business Men Fleeing to the Support Of the
Soldier Boy.
The race for the Republican nomination
for Mayor, OF Allegheny, is practically set
tied. william A. Cruikshank has kept
himself SO perfectly clear of all political
entanglements, has such clear cut record
as a soldier, citizen and Councilman, that
the good people of the city, including
the best business men, merchants and man
ufacturers are indorsing his candidacy.
Claims are made that he will not carry his
own ward. The absurdity of such a state
ment is shown by the fact that when last
elected to Common Council. Mr.. Cruik-
shank received 1881 votes, the largest vote
ever polled in the Second ward by any
Councilman.
IF the people of Allegheny want an ad-
ministration fraught with desire to pro-
vide a good government, watchful care
over the social and commercial interests of
the city, vigorous warfare against all ele-
ments of social impurities and a judicial
and economical expenditure Of the taxpay.
ers' money, it will be to their interest TO
support Mr.. Cruikshank. He has the two
essential qualifications to fit man for the
responsible position of Mayor of
such city as Allegheny-a good education
and an excellent business training, coupled
with large experience with public affairs.
He is public-spirited citizen; q man of
Independent thought and integrity, and if
the voters Of Allegheny place him in the
Executive chair, his administration is sure
to be one that will reflect credit upon the
city and honor to himself.

Major MOreland Makes 3 Pleasant and In
teresting Address
TO TIE COOKERY GRADUATING CLASS

The room devoted to the cooking class in
the Grant school building, was packed to
the sufocating point yesterday afternoon be-
tween the hours of and 4, when the
graduating exercises for that department
took place. Down the center portion Of
the room double row of tables were ranged
loaded down with all sorts of fancy pastries,
cakes, ETC., showing the efficiency acquired
by the pupils during the past term. In an
other room the bread entered for competition
was placed in rows on tables, each loaf
bearing a number corresponding with that
affixed to the names on the graduating list.
The judgment scheme was to render the de-
eision according to number without reference
to or knowledge Of the names ofcontestants.

TO MEET ON MONDAY NIGRT.

The Grievance Committee VIII Discuss the
Eight- Hour QuestIOn.
The Allegheny County Grievance Com
mittee, an organization akin to the Central
Trades Council, with membership of 162
delegates, will hold its regular bi-weekly
meeting on Monday evening at K. of l.,
Hall, 101 Fifth avenue. Many questions Of
importance are expected to be discussed.
The general secretary said last night; sat
our meeting on Monday next the proposed
eight-hour law will come up for discussion,
and it is likely that the committee will take
some decisive action in regard to the meas
ure, and will likely adopt some plan to aid
the movement along. The time is rapidly
drawing near when something must be done
in the matter, and it is important that some
plan of action should be adopted to secure
the shorter day.
81 might safely say that every member of
the committee is in favor Of the proposed
system, but what the method to secure its
adoption will be is hard to foretell.
"The trouble between SIS Marvin and the
labor union will also be discussed"

MAJOR MoRELAND's ADDRESS.

DR.. W. D. Kearns, of the Ralston school,
opened the exercises arranged for the oeca-
sion with q short address, complimenting
the school and its pupils on the progress
displayed during the past term, and then in
troduced Major W. G. Moreland, who was
on the programme for the presentation ad-
dress. He said:
'In long career of practice at the bar
have at various times succeeded in getting
myself into the realm of philosophy, social
ethics and even poetry, but this is the first
time I have ever been called upon to deliver
q speech on loaf of bread. An old philoso-
pher once said that a man talks most on
what he knows least, so it may be that
before finish I will have considerable to
say. The Major then complimented the
school and its friends, and went on to
band had been spoiled by sour bread,
not that he meant to indicate that women
made sour bread purposely, but she might
have had happier home and experience if
she knew more about cooking. He hoped
that the girls and boys would profit by
their experience, and not have il said in the
future that our best cooks come from
Europe. "We have the prettiest girls on
earth, and there is nothing to prevent us
from having the best housekeepers also.
Europe is known to be so far below the peo-
pie of this country in culture that it is a
pity that they are permitted to lead US and
educate us In some matters.
THE PRIZE PRESENTED.
Major Moreland then presented the prize
"a splendid set of books, the gift of D. r.
Terrence, Chairman of the Industrial
School Committee-to Miss Bertha Gessner,
q pupil of the Riverside side school, West
End, and announced that the judges had
considerable difficulty in arriving at de-
cision on account of the general excellence
of the work exhibited. Miss Laura Alex
ander, of the Humboldt, and Miss Sadie
Booth, Of the Franklin School, received
honorable mention.
Bertha Gessner, the prize winner, is a
pretty little miss of 13 years. She has always
been interested in cookery, and has done
considerable OF it, young as she is. She re-
sides on the corner of Marion and Elizabeth
streets, on River Hill. The judges were
Miss Milhollsnd, Of the Homewood School;
Miss Gosser, of the High School, and W, A.
Proudit, Principal of O'Hara School.
MUCH OF INTEREST.
Among the many visitors present the fol-
lowing were noted: Sheriff MeCandless, Su-
perintendent Luckey, DR.. Burgher and
most of the public school teachers of the
two cities. Miss Ballou's methods, her
knowledge and enthusiasm in the work
seemed to be the most general theme of con-
versation, and if the opinions uttered are to
be at all taken as indicating the favor in
which the school stands, it is safe to say that
it is here 20 stay. DR.. Kearns distributed the
diplomas, remarking that he was pleased to
state that the prophecy he made two years
ago that it would be successful had been
abundantly fulfilled.
