NEW TRIAL REFUSED.
The Hungarians Convicted of Killing
Michael Quinn Have
LOST ANOTHER CHANCE FOR LIFE.
Supreme Court Judges Decide Against the
BraddOck Rioters.
YESTERDAY IN THE COUNTY COURTS

The Supreme Court has refused to grant
the application for a new trial in the cases
of Andrew Todt, George Rusnack and
Michael Sabol, charged with the murder of
Michael Quinn in the Braddock riots, which
occurred at the Edgar Thompson Steel
Works last New Years Day. There was at
that time strike among the employees of
one heating department of the works, and
the company was running short handed.
Most of the strikers were Hungarians On
the last night of December they made a
raid upon the mill, but were repulsed, and
at noon on the day mentioned they came
back again and chased the workmen away
from their places. Michael Quinn was an
old Irish foreman and would not leave his
work, and was attacked. He was severely
beaten and among other injuries received a
blow on the head which subsequently caused
his death.
The three men were convicted of murder
in the first degree on February Z. Amotion
was made for a new trial and heard by
Judge Stowe, who refused it. The motion
was argued at Harrisburg last Monday by
Thomas M. Marshall and Colonel A.
Blakely.

The Flag We Revere.
To the Editor Of The Dispatch:

To the Editor OF Inc Dlspatcn:
Please give me information about the cor
rect standard proportions of the United
States flag. The length to the width, the
proportionate length and width of blue
field, with correct number of stars. 1t seems
also there are two standards, one for carry
ing in parades, ETC., and another on masts
and public buildings. If so, please state
proportions of each. The LorUs CLUB.
PITTsBURG, June 5.
None of the authorities at hand give any
regulation dimensions for the United States
flag. Since 1878 the national flag has con-
sisted of 13 horizontal stripes representing
the l3 original States of the Unfon), seven
red and six white, placed alternately, with
blue union having displayed on it one white
Ave pointed star for each State in the Union.
As new States are taken in new stars are
added-last year four. The sizes of flags are
regulated by their use. In the United States
navy admirals' flags are blue, with four,
three or two stars, according to rank. The
revenue flags differ in design from the ma
tional standard, as do regimental colors.
Garrison flags, of large proportions, to be
displayed on occasions of national import
ance, are furnished to the principal military
posts. Good taste probably regulates the
size of the various f1ags.l

Strong Words in Behalf of II. p. b,

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
We, the undersigned members of the
Theosophical Society, who have known in
timately the late H. P. Blavatsky. have read
with surprise and disgust the extraordinary
and baseless falsehoods concerning her life
and moral character circulated by a portion
of the press.
We do not propose to attempt any answer
in detail to llbels as monstrous as they are
vile, libels, moreover, which deal with sup
posed events laid in distant quarters of the
world, without any evidence being adduced
to substantiate the allegations Is it right,
even for the sake of soiling Il dead woman's
memory, to ignore the ordinary rule of law
that the onus of proof lies on the accuser?
What character can be safe if any unsup-
ported SANDER is to be taken for proved
iact2 We content ourselves with stalking
our honor and reputation on the statement
that her character was of an exceptionally
pure and lofty type, that her life was un-
sullied and her integrity spotless. 1t is be-
cause we know this that we were and are
proud to follow her guidance, and we desire
TO place on record the fact that we owe to
her the noblest inspiration of our lives.
As regards the curious fact that Madame
Blavatsky death has given rise to any con-
test for cher vacant place, will you permit
US TO say that the organization of the Theo-
sophical Society remains unaffected by her
death. In conjunction with Colonel III. S.
Olcott, the President of the society, and Mr..
William Q. Judge, prominent New York
lawyer, General Secretary, and leader of the
movement in America, Madame BlaYatsky
WAS the founder of the TheOsophical So
ciety, and this is position that cannot well
be carried by coup d'etat OF otherwise
Madame Blavats1y was Corresponding Sec
retaTy OF the society, Il purely honorary
post, which under the constitution it is un-
necessary to FLAT her decease. During the
last six months, in consequence of the growth
OF the society, she temporarily exercised
the presidential authority in Europe by dele
cation from Colonel 0lcott in order to facili-
tate the transaction of business, and with
her death the delegation naturally becomes
void. Her great position in the movement
was due to her knowledge, to her ability, to
her unswerving loyalty. Her special func-
tion was that of a teacher, and he or she
who would I'LL her place must have her
knowledge.

great flourish of trumpets thattwo students
of the General Theological Seminary of the
Protestant Episcopal Church had renounced
the faith Of their fathers and been received
into the Roman fold by the Paulist Fathers.
1t is hardly matter that concerns the gen.
eral public, but as so much publicity was
given at the time to the fact that they had
left the church you will doubtless be willing
to give equal publicity to the fact that both
young men have already had all they want
of Romanism, and have begged to be for
given and reinstated. Kindly publish this

BARTON STREET Is PUBLIC.

Poles Away.

Judge Stowe Refuses to Keep the Telephone
Poles Away.
Judge Stowe yesterday handed down an
opinion refusing the motion to continue the
injunction in the case of E. NJ. Ferguson
against the Central District Printing and
Telegraph Company. The injunction was
to restrain the defendants from erecting
poles and stringing wires on Barton street,
opened by Mr.. Ferguson through his land
for the use of abutting property, but never
formally opened by the.city.
Judge Stowe held that under the act of
June 6, 1886, all streets opened by private
persons for public use, or for the use of
owners of lots fronting thereon, of not less
than 20 feet in width, must be deemed as
public highways as much as any other pub
lie highways in the city.
