Mustn't TALK TOO MUCH.
The President of the Typothetae Gives
Local EMPLOYERS Some Advice,

The President of the Typothete Gives
Local Employers Some Advice.
A H. Pugh, President of the United
Typothete of America, came into the city
yesterday and held a long conference with
the employers here in regard to the strike.
He complimented them on the manner in
which the strike had been conducted, but
cautioned them against too frequent public
statements that might humiliate the men
who are out for what they think is right.
Mr.. Pugh returned to Cincinnati last night
to prepare for the fifth annual meeting of
the United Typothete of America, which
opens there on Monday. The resident COM
mittee has collected several thousands
dollars for the entertainment of the dele
gates. There will be representatives present
from II cities, numbering about 250 in
ALL Mr.. Pugh says the arrangements
are very complete and such that will insure
those who attend the Convention not only
profitable but enjoyable visit. The head
quarters will be at the Burnet House. The
programme includes the following ses-
sions: Meeting of the Executive Commit
tee Monday morning at IL o'clock; regular
convention opens at Scottish Rite Cathedral
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, and con-
tinues until Thursday. On Tuesday even
ing the delegates, and invited guests, will
be rendered reception at Mr.. Pugh's
house, on the Madison pike. On Wednes-
afternoon drive will be taken to the Zoo
where a German lunch will be served.
On Thursday evening visit will be
made to the United States Print
ting Company and in the evening there
will be banquet. Fridays programme in
cludes trip to the blue grass country,
stopping at Lexington, the home of Henry
Clay, and to High Bridge, over the Ken
lucky river.
The delegates who have been elected to
represent the Pittsburg branch of the Ty
pothetae are Joseph Eichbaum, II. P.
Pears, of W. G. Johnston & Co.; Theodore
Sproul, of Meyers, Shinkle & Co.; John 1.
Shaw, of Shaw Bros; Ii. j. Murdock, of
Murdock, Kerr & Co., William G. Foster,
of Stevenson & Foster, Percy f. Smith.
The only feature in the printers strike
yesterday was the signing of the scale by
W. j. Golden & Co., of Third avenue. The
men claim this is quite victory, as the
firm employs three pressmen and corre-
spondingly large number of printers. One
of the chief reasons given by the men for
the firm giving in is that Golden s. Co.
print the Baker and Confectioner, local
trade paper, and they were compelled to get
it out.

JOHN HOEY'S SUCCESSOR.
HENRY SANFORD NONRESIDENT OF
ADAMS EXPRESS COMPANY.

Frederick Lovejoy Also Elected Vice Presi-
dent-No Talk of Criminal Charges Be
ing Brought Against Hoey-How He
and Spooner Made Small Fortunes.
NEW YORK, Oct. 13. = Especial 1.-The
dismissal of Mr. John Hoey from his place
as President of the Adams Express Com
pany, and the subsequent resignation of
Clapp Spooner, Vice President of the com
pany, were followed to-day by the election
of their successors at a meeting of the
Board of Directors in their offices. Mr..
Hoey attended the meeting, which was a
secret one. A big wooden screen was
hauled up IN front of the doors of the meet
ing room to insure extraordinary secrecy.
Henry Sanford, the man who made
charges of malfeasance against Mr.. Hoey at
Mondays meeting, was elected president
Director Dinsmore said that Mr.. Hoey had
attended the meeting and voted, and that
there had been no objection to his voting;
that he had got up and made a speech of
considerable length. What was said in
that speech Mr.. Dinsmore did not think
was any of the public's business Besides
electing officers to-day the directors ap-
pointed committee to examine the books
of the company.
The directors did not talk about prosecut-
ing Mr.. Hoey criminally, or about suing
him for any amount alleged to have been
lost through him. Mr.. Dinsmore said Mr..
Sanford had been connected with the COM
pany for 45 years, and was at one time gen.
eral superintendent He is at present con-
nected in some way with Jake Sharp's old
railroad, the Twenty-third Street. Mr..
Lovejoy used to be assistant general super
intendent of the company, and was after
ward Superintendent of the Pennsylvania
Railroad division. He resigned in 1886, and
became President of the Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad Company. He retired
from that later.
Mr.. Sanford's charges against Mr.. Hoey
and Mr.. Spooner were based on the testi-
mony in the case of Henry Sherburne
against Hoey, Spooner and Henry c. Taft,
heard before Judge Ingraham last spring, in
which it was alleged that the plaintiff and
defendants had agreed to buy large inter-
est in three New England express companies
and sell it at large advance in price to the
Adams Express Company, dividing the pro-
fits, and that the Adams Express Company
did pay $3.50, 900 for the property, the pro-
fits being so large that Mr. Hoey's share of
them was S179, 900 and Mr.. Spooner's S172,
900. Sherburne sued for a share.

SHIPWRECKS BY THE DOZEN.
ALL ENGLAND AND IRELAND DE-
ViSTATED BY GALES.

Premier Salisbury Crosses the Channel in a
Hurricane-Panics at an English Race
Course and an Irish Circus, in Which
Many Are Injured.
LONDON, Oct. 13.-A great storm to-day
flooded the lowlands of Northern Wales,
causing great damage. The wind was pecu-
liarly savage at and about Tamworth. 1t
overturned number of tents on the race
track at Fazeley, mile or so from Tam
worth, while the races were in progress.
Many persons who had sought shelter in the
tents were severely injured by the flying
debris.
The storm was specially severe along
the English Channel. The Downs is full of
vessels which anchored there for shelter.
At Hastings heavy seas swept over the
promenade, and the damage there and at
the other watering places along the eastern
coast will be enormous
Premier Salisbury, who arrived from the
Continent during the middle of the storm,
reports that the passage of the channel from
Calais to Dover was decidedly the stormiest
he ever experienced.
During the night of the storm a Nor
weglan bark went ashore atChesil bank, ,ottthe
coast of Dorselshire. Hername could not be
learned. There was an exciting scene at the
rescue of her crew, which was successfully
accomplished by means of the rocket system.
A French brig was stranded near Falmouth,
where the force of the wind shattered her to
pieces. A Norwegian vessel loaded with
coal became a total wreck off Kearney,
Ireland. Several collisions occurred on the
Thames and many vessels were driven ashore.
The gale demolished Batty's circus
which was giving an exhibition at Birr,
ireland. The tent was crowded with viii
lage school children. When the wind
struck it a wild panic ensued, which was
heightened by the adults shouting: "Cut
the canvas" Many persons, mostly chill
dren, were injured by the falling poles.
The gale, which had sensibly abated by
nightfal, resumed the force of hurricane
at midnight. The area of the storm ex-
tends over the whole of Ireland and Eng
land and the southern portion of Scotland.

TAscoTT, THE MURDERER, DEAD.
A Baltimore Woman Alleges Her Husband
Killed Millionaire Smell.

Killed Millionaire Smell.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 13.-A woman of un-
sound mind was conveyed to Bay View
Asylum to-day from her residence in this
city She is the widow of the late Albert
X. Ordway, clothing cutter from Chicago,
who committed suicide in March last. Mrs.
Ordway claimed that her late husband was
the companion of William Tascott, the sup
posed murderer of Millionaire Smell.
From her and her aged mother was
learned the following story to-day: Mrs.
Ordway had beed living in Chicago since
1870. Her husband died few years ago.
She remained in Chicago and accepted DO
sition in store. She continued in happy
state until she married Albert K. Ordway
in 1881.
Her husband was in business as a clothing
cutter. He took to drink and began to as
sociate with direputable people. Things
grew worse, and no money was coming into
the household, when one night Albert stood
before the mirror with q mask on his face
and firmly declared that he was going to
have some money from old man Smell that
very night or kill him. He left
the house in hurry That
night he did not return, but the next
morning he returned to the house without
any shoes and with bloody handkerchief.
When questioned Dv her he said he had
loaned his shoes to Tascott, who had been
injured by being shot, and was lying in the
rear of saloon. She declared that Tascott
is dead She says she knows he was
strangled to death and his body made away
with by his pals.

RUssIA's PIPE OF PEACE.
1t Is Offered to the Dreibund by NJ. de
Giers' Visit to King Humbert

1t is Ohered to the DreiDund by NJ. de
Giers' Visit to King Humbert.
ROME, Oct. 13.-M. de Giers the Russian
Minister of Foreign Affairs, who is now
travelling in this country, arrived at Milan
yesterday evening in company with his
chief assistant, NJ. de Vlangali, and Baron
d'Uxkull-Gyl yllenbandt. Prime Minister
Di Rudini, together with Signor Chimini,
the Minister of Agriculture, arrived at
Milan the same evening. This morning the
Italian Premier called on NJ de Giers and
had talk with him. NJ. de Giers and Mar
quis Di Rudini will travel together to
Mona, nine miles from Rome, where King
Humbert is sojourning in the royal palace
The first impression which might natur-
ally be formed of the visit of the Russian
Minister, in view of recent political happen
ings, to the King of Italy, would be that
some important negotiations were in pro-
gress. Such, however, does not seem to be
the case. Chancellor Won Caprivi, of Ger
many; Count Kalnoky, the Austrian Pre-
mier, and Lord Salisbury are fully informed
in regard to the conference, which it is un-
derstood has no special motive other than
that attributed to the Cars desire to show
plainly that he is determined to maintain
the peace of Europe if it is possible to do
so. The italian statesmen are highly
pleased with the attitude the Gar has as
sumed in this matter, as they consider it
certain to strengthen the general peace pol
lev of the nations of the Dreibund

ANEW DECORATION SCANDAL
A High German Official Is Accused Of
Trafficking in Titles.

A High German Official Is Accused of
Traficking in Titles.
BERLIN, Oct. 13.-A case on something
of a parallel with the late French decora-
tion scandal has just been brought to light
in this city. A pamphlet which recently
appeared contained a charge against Herr
Manche, the ex-Chief of the Civil Cabinet
of Emperor William l., that he
was accepting bribes for his services
in return for procuring titles. Soon after
the pamphlet appeared a manufacturer
named Thomas sued Herr Manche for NAL
versation OF funds Thomas deposed before
the court to his paying Aron Mayer, an
associate of Manche's, 1000 marks to obtain
for him the title of Commerziontath (Coun-
cilor of Commerce). Afterward he person
ally confded to Herr Manche 10000 marks
to distribute in various charities.
In defense Herr Manche puts in gen.
eral denial of having received any part of
the 5000 marks, and that he had refunded
10000 marks which he had not paid over to
the charities. He had given the remainder
to a police captain named Grief, since de-
ceased, for the Countess Hacke, also de-
ceased, a lady in waiting of the Empress
Augusta He received no voucher, as it
was rather delicate matter.
AT the close of the trial Herr Manche was
sentenced to nine and Aaron Meyer to four
months imprisonment. The astounding de-
velopments brought out in the trial have
created sensation in Berlin society.

MEx1CANs DISLIKE THEIR TARIFF.

Manufacturers Are Rushing in Their Sup
plies From the United States.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Oct. 13.-The new
Mexican tariff law, which goes into effect
November 1, is meeting with strong opposi-
tion in many parts of the Republic. At
San Luis Potosi protest signed by the
principal merchants of the city has been
forwarded to Congress, now in session, ask
ing that the act be repealed. Similar petit
tions are being prepared at Monterey,
chihuahua, and other cities.
During the past week 20 carloads of to-
bacco have been shipped through this city
to Monterey manufacturers. The great
rush of other goods which will be affected
by the tariff into Mexico from the United
States still continues.

LOOKING FOR BETTER TIMES.
A Steel Rail Man Who Fully Expects Trad

A Steel Rail Man Who Fully Expects Trade
to Pick Up.
William A. Sproull, of the Cambria Iron
Company, was at the Duquesne yesterday.
The steel rail trade, he says, is at present
dull, the season for deliveries having closed
Prices were maintained at about $50, but in
dividual mills did not consider themselves
as tied to the figure. The Steel Rail Asso-
citation was practically imperative as re-
CARDS the regulation of prices. and makers
felt at liberty to contract on the best terms
they could obtain.
The railroads have not been as active in ex-
tensions and improvements during the past
season as had been expected. For the future
there was talk of new roads being built, but
so far they had not materialized. The pros
poets for next year Mr. Sproull regards as
good. The prosperity of the iron trade de-
pended altogether on the fulfillment of the
promise of bountiful harvest. 1t was al
ways found that when the crops were large
and the railroads busy that the iron trade
was stimulated. Under contrary conditions
the reverse was the case.

Blows Out His Brains.

NEW York, Oct. 13.-[Special PROF.
John w. II. Carroll shot himself in the
head at his home this morning Mr.. Car
rolls health had been failing for four
years. A year ago he knew that he had
consumption. On Monday he asked of
the physician to tell him his exact
condition. The physician said he
might not live month. This

hopeless and he was very Respondent. This
morning at about II o'clock he retired to
his bedroom and killed himself. He leaves
a widow in good circumstances.
Prof Carroll was born in Albany in 1897.
He received the degree of LII. d. and be-
came Unitarian minister. He had taste
for archaeological research, however, and
this led him to go to Europe and the far
East, where he passed several years in
travel and in collecting rare brOnzes, manu-

A NIPPED REVOLUTION.
Some Further Details of the Sundays Street
Battle in Montevldeo.


Battle in Montevideo.
MoNTEvIDEO, Oct. 13.-The revolutions
lists who on Sunday evening attempted to
create aserious disturbance here have failed
in their designs. The rioters were members
of a revolutionary club who expected to be
able to suborn the artillery corps of the
garrison and to take possession of the city.
The conspirators fired upon the loyal
troops, and expected at this signal that the
artillery would join forces with them. In
this they were disappointed. The artillery
men remained true to their colors and the
conspiracy failed. The leaders of the revo-
lutionary movement are now confined in
prison, and it is expected that they will be
summarily dealt with. In the exchange Of
volleys which took place between the revo-
lutionists and the loyal troops six men
were killed and seven wounded. Fifty-two
persons, including the ringleaders of the
conspiracy, are held in custody. The up
rising has been effectually quieted, and to-
day quiet prevails throughout Uruguay.

LONDON, Oct. 13-The Chinese Minister

in consequence of sudden and urgent orders
from Pekin regarding the Russian encroach-
ments upon Pamir, the extensive tableland
of Central Asia, called from its altitude the
"Roof of the World" The Chinese Gov
