EVERYTHING Is sHIP-sHAPE
For the Coming Annual Fete Champetre of
the Randall Club.

the Randall Club.
A special meeting of the Randall Club last
night saw the clubhouse on Duquesne way
filled with q crowd of enthusiastic members.
Letters we're received and read from promi-
nent Democrats from all quarters, who
propose to be present at the fete next
Wednesday. The nomination of Governor
Campbell increased the enthusiasm, and his
anticipated presence is looked forward to
with increas sed interest. The various COM
mittees, which comprise upward of 500 MEM
bors, are a host in themselves, and may be
counted on to care for their respective
duties in the same systematic and orderly
manner that has insured such unalloyed
in all former fetes. The generosity of
this club in annually rendering to its
thousands of friends q complimentary
outing with all the detail and expense that
would characterize the most select family
lawn fete, is an undertaking that has made
the club exceptional among organizations,
either political or social
The facilities for reaching Silver Lake
Grove having now been increased by the
traction roads, no doubt accounts in some
manner for the unusual demand made upon
the members for the coveted complimentary
cards this year, and which has almost eX-
issued. Something unusual occurred this
year. Several musical organizations Of note
from other States desired to lend their
efforts to assist the club in entertaining
their friends, but their kind offer had to be
declined on account of the complete ar
rangements already made for music, both
band and orchestra.

BACK IN THE FOLD.

Painters, Dissatisfied With the Brotherhood,
Reorganize in the knights of Labor-A
Big Assembly from the Start-Growth Of
the Order.
The disruption of the painters organiza-
tion in this city was made complete last
night when local union No. 1877 surrendered
its charter and was reorganized as
an assembly of the Knights of Labor, with
which they were formerly affiliated.
The men assembled in Knights of Labor
Hall. on Market street, last night They
were met by Master Workman Dempsey and
ex-Master Workman Ross, who presided
over the district when the painters were in
the Knights before. Both gentlemen made
addresses to the seeding painters. Several
prominent members of the latter spoke
briefly, explaining their reasons for leaving
the Brotherhood.
The assembly was then organized, and at
their own request were given their old num-
Der, 1897 The new local starts in with $50
members, and it was said last night that in
side of six months it would have over 400
members even if other painters unions
formed X. of L. assemblies, which will prob
ably be done.
Master Workman Dempsey received a re-
port yesterday from New York showing the
progress of tine organization in the metropo-
lis for the past month. There we're 123 local
assemblies organized in New York in June
and equal work was done in the vicinity.
General Master Workman Powderly has
arranged to put organizers in the field who
can work up assemblies among the various
nationalities. As result five Italian assem-
composed of distinct nationalities are under
way.

NOT IN THE MARKET.

An Unfounded Rumor About the Sale of
the Kaufman Property.
Tapeliners measuring the block in which
is situated the Kaufman building, yester-
day afternoon, caused considerable excite
ment and a rumor obtained currency that
the property was about to change hands. A
few of the knowing ones went so far as to
name the price, 100000. Mr.. Thomas Lig-
gett, one of the owners, was hunted up for
particulars. The story almost took his
breath away When he had recovered suf-
ficiently to speak, he said:
"The Kaufman block is not in the mar
ket. No man can name the price that would
buy it. l expect it to be in the hands of the
Liggett family for 1G0 years, at least. If
would even mention at home anything about
selling that property l would be run out of
the house. There is nothing in the rumor."

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES.
A Young Lady's Taste Changed by the
Strike of an Oil Well.

1t is wonderful how circumstances alter
cases. There isa young lady who resides in
the suburbs of the city noted fJr her ex-
ceedingly great delicacy of taste and smell.
Indeed, the very suspicion of an unpleasant
odor has generally been sufficient to cause
her to turn pale and resort to smelling salts;
yet this same young lady now processes the
greatest love for the smell of an oil that
renders others quite ill. The secret of it is,
an oil well just across the line from the home
property has begun to flow at a rate that, if
continued, assures untold riches to all of its
owners, who are now negotiating for the
rental of all the property adjoining the
gusher at an immense sum. The maiden de-
clares she cannot get enough smell of
the oil.

PETER MCLARREN DEAD.
Falls Against a Fire Plug and Dies in the
Homeopathic Hospital.

Peter McClarren, the coke dealer, died at
s O'Clock yesterday morning. His demise
seems to have resulted indirectly from a
doctors prescription of whisky and quinine
during attack OF the grip in the spring.
Mr.. McClarren had not tasted liquor for
seven years, but the medicine created a
desire he could not resist. Late Wednesday
night, while intoxicated, he fell against
fire plug at Third avenue and Smithfield
street and cut his head severely.
He was taken to the Homeopatic Hospital
and after remaining unconscious all night
died in the morning. His wife knew nothing
of his injury until it was reported to her
that he was dead. He leaves several chill
dren. Mr.. McClarren was a very popular
man in Pittsburg, having large acquaint-
ance. He was a brother-in-law of ex-Coun-
Gilman John Smith, Captain Leonard Smith,
OF No. II Engine Company, and George
Smith, of the Cincinnati ball cIub.

THE SCALE is ARRANGED,
Window Glass Manufacturers and Workers
Will Soon Confer,

u.
President Eberhardt, Secretary Cake and
other members of the Window Glass Work
ers' Scale Committee came home yesterday
from Atlantic City, where the joint scale
committee had been in session from Monday
until Wednesday. President Eberhardt de-
clined to say what had transpired at the
meeting, except to acknowledge that the
scale for 1922 had been arranged.
There was some talk n few days ago that
this committee would ask for an advance of
10 per cent in wages, and that this would be
met by counter demand from the manu-
facturers for like reduction. As result.
a compromise on the present scale would
likely occur. The best information that
could be gained yesterday was that no such
demands will be made by the men. Some
advances will be asked but they will not
amount to 10 per cent. Within a few days q
conference will be arranged for between the
local scale committee and the manufact-
urers.
