SUSPECT A TRICK.

Republicans Refuse to Attend a Meeting
of the State Treasury Committee-Dem-
Oc-ats Said TO Be After Campaign Ma
terial-A Clever Scheme.
Representative Samuel Stewart, of Verona,
went to Harrisburg last evening to attend
special meeting of the committee appoint ed
to investigate the affairs of the State Treas
ury FOR the last ten years. The Com
mission was expected to report
bill correcting abuses in this de-
partment during the session, but
they failed. Then by resolution they were
instructed to continue the work after the
Legislature closed. State Senator George
Handy Smith is the Chairman, and is now in
Europe. The call for the meeting was signed
by Messrs. Fow, Skinner and Monaghan, the
Democrats on the committee. The Repub-
Hcans claim that it is a put up job on
the part of the Democrats to get campaign
material for the fall election, as the ex-
animation will be aimed a Auditor General
McCamant and the part he played in the
Bardsley business.
Mr.. Stewart was not inclined to talk and
he claimed he didn't know what was the
object of the meeting. 1t was learned
that he would not attend unless
the Democrats mad a ma jority and could go
ahead without the Republicans Senator
Finn and Representative Fruit, of Sharon,
refused to go to Harrisburg. They insist
that the Councilmanic committee of Phila-
delphia is doing its work well in investI-
eating the Bardsley investigation, and it is
useless to go over straw that has been
thrcshed.
The Democratic scheme is said to be
very clever. They want TO get at
Auditor General McCamant's books. which
the Philadelphia committee can't reach. 1t
is the intention to call up all the State
treasurers for the last IL years, including
Quay, and haul them over the Goals. The
hope is expressed that somethin,, will be de-
velOped that will knock Republican chances
skyward this fall The Republicans think
that by remaining away they can thwart the
plan. They also claim that the call for the
meeting is irregular, and they refuse to be
drawn into d trap at present.

ADVENTURES OF A LITTLE BOY.
Jimmie Carter Takes a Ride to Greens
burg Instead of Williamsburg.

Jimmie Carter Takes Ride to Green's
burg Instead of Williamsburg.
There is one boy in Williamsburg who
feels that he is a greater traveller than Cap
tain Cook or Nellie BLY,. He has not been so
far as either of those noted globe trotters,
but he has been the subject of adventures
that to him are as startling as anything in
book of travels. His name is Jimmie
Carter and he is II years old. On Sunday
evening he was sent into the city with
message He is a bright little fellow, and
when he was told to make the last train on
the Pennsylvania Railroad for homo he
nodded and ran down to the station as blthe
rs any boy of his years and temperament
could be. His business in the city accom-.
plished, he reached the Union depot in am
pie time for the 1879, the last. train. Once in
the car, he settled himself to enjoy his 20
minutes ride in comfort. He was altogether
too comfortable, as it proved He had not
been five minutes in the car, and the train
had not started, when Jimmie was fast
asleep. Away went the train, and after a
while Jimmie awoke with a start with a
blaze Of light in his eyes. The blaze of light
Jimmie tremblingly asked the conductor,
"What place is this?"
"Bessemer." answered the conductor
"But live at Williamsburg" faltered the
lad.
Here was a pretty state of things. The
conductor is kind-hearted fellow, and he
told him he would have to go on to Green's
burg, but that he would make Jimmie q bed
in the car, and adjured him not to leave it
till he got to Williamsburg the next morning.
In the meantime he telegraphed to the
Williamsburg station that Jimmie Carter was
safe in Grcensburg, so that his relatives
might have their minds set at ease. In the
meantime Jimmie lay on his jnprpvised bed
on the seats of the car ana wtshedfor morn
ing. He did not see any ghosts or robbers or
wild beasts during the night, but he was in
nnTnfa n nf han l,s,r
safely home yesterday morning about 8
O'Clock he declared he would never go to
sleep in a train again, unless he had someone
with him to wake him at the proper time.

care to talk much, as Mr.. Loeff1er had been

was given out that there would be no more

the friendly relations, so far as this years
scale is concerned, between manufacturer

off.
The conference on the flint scales was
continued yesterday. The discussion on
the pressed ware, iron mold and mold max
ing scales was postponed until tomorrow
and the chimney scale will be taken up to-
day.
The fact that Kings Son & Co.'s mold de-

A N0N-UNION START.
The Wheels of the vesuvius Iron Works
Moved Yesterday.

Moved Yesterday.
A feeble effort was made to start the
Vesuvius Iron Works ut Sharpsburg yester-
day by non-union men. The fight against
the Amalgamated Association is now on in
earnest, and the developments of the next
two or three days will be watched with in
terest, as it is intima ted that there are to be
some unexpected surprises.
Yesterday morning the mail train leaving
Allegheny at 6:45 contained about 20 men,
The train was stopped at Moorhead Bro. &
Co.'S mill in Sharpsburg, and before the
strikers, who were out early to keep an eye
on things, knew what was going on, the non
union men were in the mill. Immediately
upon their admission to the mill, prepare
uons were made to begin operations. There
are two furnaces in the mill and two heats
were made on each during the day. The
crew began TO draw at O'Clock and the first
heat was finished at IL o'clock During the
day "a plates were rolled.
President Riddle said last night that there
were only 13 men at work altogether and
another striker said that the old crew would
have gotten three heats out while one was
made yesterday, and that out of the "a plates
made there were not more than s good ones.
The strikers have not given up hope of
winning the strike, while the firm feels very
jubilant over the start made yesterday and
the greatest confidence is entertained in
their ability to defeat the association.
The men who filed the important positions
were: Mr.. McElroy, roller: Mi. Hayes, shear
man; Thomas Reed, friction pulley operator.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Fire in the Exchange Building Discovered
in Time to Be Put Out.

Fire in the Exchange Building Discovered
in Time to Be Put Out.
The Iron Exchange building on the corner
of Wood and Water streets, narrowly es-
capped destruction by fire last night. A gas
chandelier in the branch office of Anderson,
Du Puy & Co., on the second floor was de-
tached in some manner, and the escaping
gas becoming ignited, set fire to the interior
of the office. The frame partition and
counter soon caught and we're burning
briskly when the fire was discovered from
the street, and an alarm was turned in from
box eight. Acting Chief Coates was quick
to reach the fire, and a couple of we'll
directed streams soon e1tinguished the
blaze. Had it not been confined to the suite
of offices of Anderson, Du Puy & Co., the fire
would have been hard to subdue.
Chief Coates, after eXtinguishing the
flames. put the f1remen to work to sweeping
cradle loss by water. The total damage
done will not exceed $780,

WARMCASTLE GLEEFUL.

He Thinks Dalzel Has Received a Black
Eye-Some Talk of Contesting the Amer
icus Election-what the Other Side Has
to Say.
Collector warmcastle called at the Monon-
gahela House yesterday afternoon to
see Mckinley. The Collector was feel
ing good over the result of the fight
in the Americus Club. "I made no
effort to get votes against Dalzelrs
delegates" =" he said. "They are good friends
of mine, and such q victory wouldn't have
paid in the end: 1t was not my object to
defeat Dalzell, but to pass the resolution
and am satisfied. 1t is generally under
stood that the Americus Club indorsed Dali
ZelPs candidacy. Well, there were about 80
members present at the meeting, and the
resolution was not allowed to remain over
Tor week. This was snap Judgment ana
wasn't fair. If the weeks time had been
allowed the result might have been diner-
eut
"Dalzell's majority was 10. When the
teilers returned to the meeting with the
vote, they said they had ruled out three
Robinson ballots because two tickets haG
been rolled together suppose now that the
election should be contested with RoDlnson
people in charge of the convention, what
would be the result? l an: not saying there
will be a contest, it is a mere supposition.
Whatever other people may say, L want to
soc a fair and clean fight"
III. ID. W. English claims Dalzell had been
indorsed at two meetings of the club. He
says it shows how much influence the OPP
position had in Pittsburg when they could
only drum up 81 votes i'll Il week, and 81 OF
these were from Beaver county.
W. W. Colville, defeated delegate, said
he was satisfied, and did not want recount.
Collector Warmcastle thinks DalZell has re-
ceived Il bad bad black eye.
II. s. Paul, one of the Dalzell delegates,
got home from Virginia Beach yesterday.
He didn't know anything about the fight
made on the local Congressman in the
Americas Club until he reached Washing
ton. He thought it was a sly piece of bust
ness, but the result shows that Dalzen is
stronger than his opponents imagined. He
said that Mr.. Gibbs had assured him two
weeks ago that he would not work against
DalZell, and he went away feeling that the
situation was safe. He added that he was
surprised to find that gentleman among the
leaders OF the opposition.
