one gave her up all together, saying there was
no cure for her. Her brother recommended

TWO SIDES TO A STORY,
Patrick Manion, of Braddock, Tells In
specror NcAIeese Tint He is Wronged
Man-His Wife's Statement Puts a
Different Phase on the Matter

Patrick Manion, of Bruddock, Tells In.
Man-His Wife's Statement Puts a
Different Phase on the Matter.
Inspector McAleese had a peculiar case
before him yesterday. A week ago Patrick
Manion, of Braddock, called on Inspector
McAleese and said that he desired his as
sistance in finding the whereabouts of his
wife who, he said had deserted him several
months ago. He described himself as a
man who had been imposed upon by his
wife, who had left him with four little chill
dren whom he was forced to place in an
asylum. He was a hard-working man, he
informed the Inspector, and had always pro-
vided comfortable home. He said that he
would like to have the police look up his wife,
who was living in the downtown district some
where, he felt confident
Inspector McAleese was impressed fayoraDIy
with the mans story and promised to give the
matter his attention. Mrs Manion was located
in Ferry street residence, employed as do
mestic. She was taken to the Central station
where she told her side of the case to Inspector
McAleese.
Mrs. Manion said it was true that she had
left her husband several months ago, but it was
because her life with him had become lntoler-
able. She worked hard to aid in supporting
ner cnllQren, and received ID return lequeuI
severe beatings from her husband. 1t was not
true, she declared, that she had left him with
the care OF four helpless children, because
when she had made up her mind to make her
own living, she had herself placed the children
in an asylum. She showed the Inspector where
her teeth had been knocked out, and said that
she had not gone away from her husband until
his brutal treatment had compelled her to
do so.
A couple of hours after she was brought to
the station her husband dropped in and was
made target of by Inspector McAleese. He
had gained some new points, and rather stag
gered Manion by his intimate knowledge of his
family affairs. Manion stood his ground for
awhile, but as the Inspectors questions be-
came hotter he got confused and finally stopped
amazed. Inspector McAleese told him that he
ought 10 be locked up himself and ordered him
to leave the station.
Mrs Manion was not placed under arrest, but
was too much afraid of her husband to 90 back
to the place where she had been living for fear
he might follow and beat her. She had no
other place to go and for the night was given
bed in Matron Brennan's room.

Positions of Firm and Workmen on the
Efckeesport MuddIe.
81 see no probability that our company will
sign the SCALE" said an official of the National
Tube Works Company yesterday. On the
other hand President Weihe and the men
insist on an acceptance of their scale. This is
the position the McKeesport mudale has been
in for several days, and something looking
toward a settlement is expected to develop
very soon.
The position of the firm is, that if they sign
the scale they agree to an unlimited number of
things, while the Amalgamated Association
agrees to nothing. The association officials
claim that if they allow the firm to have their
way, it opens door through which other man
ufacturers will want to pass next year. How
ever. it is thought the firms proposition will
be accepted. 10 ~s-z .-
General Manager Converse and Mr.. Pierce
are still in the East, and until they return
nothing definite will be done.

the proper way to keep cool is to dress cool.
Too much clothing, he said, was the cause
of all the misery.
Garrett Crossan, the finest looking officer
on the force, who keeps the flies and other
nuisances moving on Fifth avenue, said:
''The best way to keep cool is to stay on the
shady side of the street and keep on the
move do not stop long enough to get
warm, aud always feel comfortable. If
people would keep out Of the sun and not
drink intoxicating liquors they would not
get warmed up so much.''
The gripmen and conductors on the Fifth
avenue cable cars keep cool BY drinking
spring water that comes up out of the
ground on the Vandergrift place, on Fifth
avenue, at the head of Shady lane. Al
most every car, going out and coming in,
stops there, while the crew refreshes itself.

Manufacturers Are Responsible for the Con-
dition of Trade.
William Martin, Secretary of the Anal
gamated Association and First Vice President
of the American Federation of Labor, arrived
home from New York yesterday, where he had
been attending meeting of the Executive
Board of the latter organization. On the train
between New York and Philadelphia, Mr..
Martin met several Eastern manufacturers,
among whom were Mr.. Disston, the noted saw
manufacturer
Mr.. Disston, with the others, had been in
New York inquiring into the various sources
of consumption, and were pleased to find an
unusual healthy condition of trade. An early
settlement of the wages question would insure
to the manufacturers rush of orders from the
start that is likely to continue the entire
season. Mr. Disston expressed himself as very
much gratified at the amicable way the scale is
being settled, and says that on this point alone
depends the condition of business for the year.
If the manufacturers refuse to sign the SCALE
the people who have the large contracts to
place will be scared out.

LIVERY MEN ARE CAUTIOUS.
They Will Not Allow Horses to Haul
Heavy Loads During the Day.

Charles f. jain, of the livery firm of Burns
& Jahn, in speaking of the warm weather yes.
terday. said: 1--WE had many orders to-day for
coupes and other heavy vehicles, but refused
them, on account of the weather being SO Sc
we're on horses. We cannot afford to allow our
horses to 20 ont under the broiing sun, only
with very light load. 1t is better to keep the
stock in the stable and refuse the business than
kill the horses.
I'VE try to work our horses as easily as pos
sible, and only allow the light rigs out. Another
thing we do not allow the horses to drink
water while out. After coming into the stable
the animals throats are parched, but they are
not watered until they are cooled off. If this
precaution was not taken they would founder,
and probably die in this weather."

drank plain soda without any syrups.
The popular taste differs, Mr.. Byers said.
One hot day it will run to plain soda and phos-
pilates, while at other times many people con-
fine their drinking to syrups mixed with soda.
About 200 glasses per day is the average dur
ing excessively warm weather. On Sundays
before Mr.. Wishart got in his work, as high as
$500 glasses Of soda were sold at this place.
