FIRST OF THE EXCURSIONS.
Thousands of Country People Throng the
Great Halls of the Exposition.

Thousands of Country People Throng the
Great Halls of the Exposition.
The Exposition was crowded yesterday.
The first Of the excursions from out of town
came in, and the country people swarmed
all over the main hall, up stairs and down,
and then made their way across the yard to
Mechanical Hall, where they enjoyed them
selves to their hearts content in watching
the various processes of manufacture there
displayed. Mechanical Hall Is really very
interesting portion of the Exposition, and
anyone can spend pleasant and prof1tab BILE
half day there There were seven eXcur-
sions on the Penn sy1vania Railroad and
Baltimore and Ohio lines yesterday, and it is
estimated that they brought in nearly 5000
people. The Pittsburg and Western road
will bring excursions in on September l6, 10,
% and 80 from Clarion and intermediate
places. The New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio is arranging for an excursion from
jamestown, and the Allegheny Valley Rail-
road will bring its patrons to the Exposition
at reduced fares.
There were several more pocketbooks
found in the main hall of the Exposition yes
day. Notwithstanding the warning contained
the season so far was last night. The excel
lent band of the Seventh Regiment dis
coursed catchy music under the director
ship of Prof. Cappa, and that 1t was appre-
ciated was proven by the spontaneous ap-
plause that broke out from the attentive
audience at the end of every number. Prof.
Cappa Is congratulated on his excellent
judgment in making up his programmes.
While he has enough classical music to
satisfy the more cultured musicians in his
audience he does not neglect the desires of
those who like popular airs.

AEL FAVORED THE STRIKE.
Secretary Dargue, OF the Potters, Talk
About the Ohio Trouble.

Secretary pargue, OF the Potters, Talks
About the Ohio Trouble.
Charles Dargue, the General Secretary of
the National Brotherhood of Operative Pot
ters, takes exceptions to the statement
made in a local paper that the strike at
Steubenville was entered into against the
protests of number of the potters. s"
Speaking of the matter yesterday he said:
every member (67 of them) was In favor of
the strike, and every one Of them came out
ana remain out to this day. The statement
that during the spring the Eastern @ .I possters
benville pottery Off is also an error, as
neither the Eastern or Western potters have,
ever declared the strike OF boycott off. The
ters belong to the K. of L. and are
at war with the Western potters, who
betong to the Potters' Association, is also
partly wrong, for while they do belong to
or quarrelfng with each other. The story
that to keep even with the Eastern potters,
the Western Association appointed COM
mittee to settle the strike and declare the
boycott Off at Steubenville and Findlay is
false, as there 10 no war or quarrel to get
even for, and aside from that 1t would be
poor policy to sacrifice nnion principle in
order to get even.' The committee ap-
pointed has not the power to settle the
trouble, and they cannot do 90; they are
authorized to confer with the firms, but the
result OF Gnelr conference ulusI Ue TopOrtcu
back to the Executive Council for acceptance
or rejection. In regard to the union potters
not asking for the discharge of the non-unton,
that will be considered by the firm and the
committee, but the terms upon which it is
hoped the trouble will be settled are yet un-
known, as no conference has yet been held.
While the n. B. of o. P. is willing to ooncede
something, it is also expected that the firms
will do the same. It is not to be supposed
that after remaining out for two years and
half, and all the members working else
where, that the brotherhood will sacrifice
everything"

AN IMPORTANT MEETING.

Councils Will Have to Consider the In
creased Indebtedness Question Next
Monday-Chief Elliot Will Report His
Select IN of a Poor Farm.
Councils will meet IN regular session Mon
dav afternoon for the first time after the sum-
mer vacation. The meeting will be an impor-
tant one, as considerable business has accu-
mulated during the past few weeks Most
important of nlI will be the consideration of
the ordinance providing for 81 COG, 900 in
crease in the bonded indebtedness of the
city. The ordinance makes provision for a
popular vote on the question, as required by
law. There seems to be little doubt about
its passage as it is generally conceded that
money to pay contracts made under the de-
funct street acts is necessary and either the
public debt or next years millage must be
raised to meet this need.
Almost every Councilman is opposed to
increasing the tax rate and fnvors the bond
plan. The only objection to the ordinance
SO far has been that it does not specify the
time the bonds are to run or the interest
to be paid on them. Those who drew 1t mp
say this is later consideration and can be
decided after the main question of increas-
ing the debt has been settled. But the ordi-
nance will probably meet with some opposi-
tion on this point. Controller Morrow
strongly favors the bond plan and is conf
dent 1t will be adopted with few objections.
Another feature of the meeting will be
Chief Elliot's report on the new Poor Farm.
The difficulty of over a years duration con-
corning the purchase of farm will, in all
probability, be settled Monday. The last
ordinance on this question authorized the
Chief of the Department of Charities to in
spect the farms offered and select the one
best suited in his estimation. Chief Elliot
has made his choice and has his report ready
for Councils. Prior to its presentation to
those bodies he declines to reveal its con-
harrr
approve of the farm chosen, and then the
matter will go to the Mayor, who has final
action on it.
The two street railway ordinances-one
for taxing cars and the other relating to
stopping before crossing intersecting lines
were expected to come up at this meeting,
but the Committee on Public Safety, which
has them in charge, will not be able to act
them IN no

INSIDE OF THE CASE.
How the Magma Charta Tunnel and
Mining Company Came to Back
COVERT AND THE HARLEM CLAIM.
A Change of Venue Thought to Be Neces-
sary to Win the Big Suit.
THE PROSECUTOR GAINS In ANY EVENT


The peculiar manner in which Rev. w.
r. Covert has secured his backing from the
Magma Charta Mining and Tunnel Com
pany, in order to enable him to prose cute
the Harlem claim, came to light yesterday
through conversation with gentleman
who is closely associated with the affair.
AS stated exclusively in yesterdays Dis
PATCH Mr. Covert Is in possession of 10000
shares of the mining stock part of which
he has made arrangements to distribute to
the Harlem heirs In the following manner:
Each heir assigns to him a half
interest in his claim and secures in
return one share of stock in the
mining company at par value. According
to the experience of the company, Mr.. Covert
Is of the opinion tnat whether the Harlem
suit is won or lost the heirs will have some
thing that will pay them from 30 to so per
cent in dividends.
The Magma Charta Tunnel penetrates the
granite mountains in Colorado, which is
filed with mineral veins. The object Of the
company in making the tunnel was to cut at
right angles the veins of mineral, thus re-
ducing the expense of mining nearly 80 per
cent. By means of the tunnel all the ore is
handled on a down grade which Is vastly
more efficient than mining by means Of
shafts. The capacity OF the tunnel is so
: tons day. The tunnel was located In 1881
The company was organized in 1893 and
capitalized with s., 500 00O all paid up and no
stock for sale, except what is in the
hands of Mr.. Covert for the benefit Of
the Harlem heirs. Although it is consid-
cred one of the most wonderful mining
plants in the world, little has been known
of the workings of the company owing to
the great value of the country surrounding
Granite Mountain which it desired to get
control Of
DIR. j. Nesbit Wilson, Acting President Of
the company accompanied Mr.. Covert to New
York, where the papers in the Harlem suit
Will be prepared at once. The manner in
which Mr.. Covert has been enabled to raise
the necessary capital to prosecute this i'm
mense claim is considered by his friends as
the most unique on record. The greatest
fear as to the result of the suit, however,
rests in the question of venue. 1t is thought
it win be very difficult TO find New York
jury that would decide against the city
of New York, although it may be
easily proven that the city had no right to
deed the property to those who hold titles to
it at present. If the case could be tried
some place in the South or West the heirs
would have q better chance to win, and even
then 1t is thought the case would be carried
into the United States Court where it would
be likely to go against them. But in either
event, the position Mr.. Covert is in he can
prosecute the claim without losing any
money. If he loses this suit he will still be
in possession of 10000 shares of mining
stock; for which he will have paid practi-
cally nothing. If he wins he will be worth
millions.
