Nur;,hv. being told of the mysterious
stranger, N once set to work on the case.
He and five other officers are said to have
watched the mouth of the pit Thursday
night and all day Yesterday, two or three
taking turns at watch while the others were
sleeping. Whoever the person is, he or
she is inside the mine and has no means of
exit. Detective Murphy rather diseourages
this story. When asked about it yesterday
he said:
Z. Il have no cicw whatever to the where
ahouts of Fitzsimmons. 1 know nothing
about such a story
The third tale, happily, has not its origin
in PittSburc. Homestead comes to the
front with a clew which has set its populace
Shivering. They believe Fitzsimmons is
hid away somewhere in the ravine above
Six Mile Ferry. Squire 'Oeffner, a. c.
Akard, Joseph Blair and several others
were walking up through the ravine a few
evenings ago when one of the
party discovered a mysterious person
ahead. He was sneaking along
through the woods as if fearful of being
seen. Captain Akard started toward him,
when he took TO his heels and disappeared
among the trees. The party tracked him
for some distance, but finally lost the trail
Al the old coal mines were searched. but
nobody was found. The man has a very
strong resemblance to Fitzsimmons.

Alfred Thicker, Il travelling salesman for
commission house of Chicago, was assaulted
last night on the Twenty-eighth street
bridge. An attempt was made to rob him,
but was unsuccessful About $50 o'clock
he was crossing the bridge to go to Jones
avenue. When half way across two men ap-
preached him, one of whom asked him for
money to get drink. This request was re-
fused The two men then grabbed him and
attempted to throw him down. They sue
ceeded, but Thicker regained his feet and
knocked down one of his assailants The
companion of the latter struck Thicker with
a billy, telling him to the ground, and then
tried to rife his pockets, but was frightened
by some men who appeared. The assailants
made their escape, but a description of
them was given by Thicker to the police,
and their arrest is probable.

WANTS TO GET RID OF HER.
Bertha Schlaman Asks Her Lover to Abar-
don His Daughter.

don His Daughter.
Julius Sure and Bertha Schlaman, of
South Fourteenth street, were lodged in the
Twenty-eighth ward station last evening on
charges of disorderly conduct by Officer
Riege. Bertha Schlaman just finished a
sentence OF 80 days at Claremont yesterday
for the same charge, and was arrested last
evening while quarreling about the same
thing that got her in trouble before. Bertha
a pretty daughter about IS years old who
lives with him. 1t is said that his house
keeper does not get along very peace
ably with her, and as Sure wants to keep
on the good side of both family matters are
kept pretty lively.
According to the conversation between
the two last evening, which was overheard
by Sergeant Sitzler, while they were in
their cells, Bertha Schleman wants Sure to
marry her and then get another home for
his daughter This proposition was made
some time ago. but Sure, it seems, refused
to agree to it, and as consequence they
continue to quarrel over the matter. They
looked at their arrest as a pretty serious
matter last night, and tried to effect COM
promise. Being placed in cells little dis
tance apart, their conversation was over
heard, and sometimes it was amusing. Sure
would remind her every little while that it
was her fault they were locked uD, and then
she would say: GLOW much do you think
We will get?" Sure would say, "Oh, about
year. As they appeared to effect a COM
promise it is probable their sentences will
be light on the charges of disorderly con-
duct

To BE Settled To-Day.

The question of who will succeed John
Berlin as Warden of the County Jail will
be settled to-day. The Prison Board will
meet at o'clock this morning and hold its
election for warden. There is still some
speculation about the choice, but the general
impression is that Inspector McAleese will
be chosen. The Inspectors popularity Will
be of considerable assistance to him, but his
well-known efficiency in handling criminals
and the thoroughness with which he does
everything he undertakes will prove the
strong cards IN his favor. Several candi-
dates have dropped out, and others are not
considered likely.

with the experimental part of the work IN
connection with establishing the industry.
They are now beginning to improve the
methods of tnrning out tin. A local work
man claims to have new patent, devised
for the casting of the plates, for which he
claims three benefits First, the cheapness
and simplicity of it; second, the limited
amount of skill necessary to tin with it;
third, tin made by the aid of palm oil, and
not by poisonous acids, such as fux. He
claims he can turn out eight boxes of 112
sheets an hour

heard cries coming from the court at the
rear of No. IS. He went back, and in a
cellar found boy tied to wagon wheel.
The boy was bound hand and foot, and
showed the marks of severe punishment.
He was released by the officer, and stated
that he had been bound by his father, Liugo
Lunga, an organ grinder. The boy is
Ronata Lunga, aged IA. He refused to ac-
company his father on one of his excur-
sions and in consequence was bound to the
wheel and punished. The officer attempted
to find the father, but could not. The
mother was notsTell, and was not arrested.

CALLING CAMPBELL DOWN.

LEGAL Tin Plate People Say He Ought to
Know Better Than to NIisrepresent
Tariff Matters-some of Their Answer
ing Arguments.
The idea conveyed in a speech of Gov
ernor Campbell at Steubenville Friday, that
there is but one tin plate factory in the
country and that only 50 by g." at Apollo,
has made local manufacturers rather angry
p. II. Laufman & Co. is the firm that has
the plant in Apollo. y representative Of
the firm said Yesterday:
"Our factory is about as large as the aver
age plant in Wales, and we will soon be
tnrning ont 400 boxes day, which is far
above the average capacity of the Welsh
plants. "
Assistant President Garland, of the
Amalgamated Association, said: Governor
Campbell must certainly have known he was
making misleading statement at Steuben-
villc. We have Il lodge ut Demmler, COM
posed largely of the men employed at the
United States iron and tinplate plant They
ere turning out lots of tin there. Governor
Campbell does not need to go out of Ohio
to find tin plants in operation. There is
one at Pigua and another in the course of
erection ut Irondale. There is a very large
one going up III New Hnllauelpnll, ana
company Just formed in Allegheny-beside
many mills that have been prepared all
along to make black sheets, that are now
putting in timing plants.
To show extent of the business done
by the L. S. Iron and Tin Plate Manufac-
turing Company, Mr.. Cronemeyer issued a
circular letter Septemb 23 to his trade,
stating that the firm had been at work for
seven or eight months in the manufacture
of bright tin plates. Most of the others
who have started up have only been making
tin plates. Mr.. Cronemeyer's letter con-
cludes:
1--WE are now ready to invest our money
and spend our time in devel ping an in
dustry in which, ultimately, from 10000 to
&c, 600 American worllmen will find en-
ployment at wages which are from 100 to
200 per cent higher than the wages paid in
the Welsh works"

Alexander Killain will not hang. The
Pardon Board yesterday decided that i'm
prisonment fer life would be sufficient pun
ishmeut f'or his connection with the murder
of Mrs Paul Rudert at Tarentum. The

Boston, Oct 2.-[Special. Miss jean
cite Cochran, the beautiful daughter of
Colonel Robert Cochran, the millionaire,
has abandoned the gaieties with which her
position in society has surrounded her, and
has entered the Order of the Sisters of
Mercy, being stationed at st. Margaret's
Home in this city. Like Miss Drexel, of
Philadelphia, who gave up her millions to
devote her life to doing good, Miss Cochran
is now an humble worker in the hospital.
She was born in Cambridge, Mass, and
was educated at the Convent of st. Francis
Xavier When under the tutelage of the
Sisters she conceived the idea of devoting
her life to charity. Her parents tried in
vain to dissuade her. Miss Cochran is only
90 years old. She is highly accomplished,
good musician and has literary tastes.
She is blonde, with a mass of curly golden
hair, clustered about her head.
