Looked Upon as Too Slick.
CARPENTERS REMAIN FIRM.
The Master Builders Resolutions Prove Of
No Effect as Yet.

There were no new developments in the
carpenters strike yesterday. The scheme
of the contractors to get their men to return
to work yesterday morning did not work, as
none of the carpenters went back. Agent
Swartz said all the strikers are firm, and
they are only waiting for materials ordered
from other cities to advertise for contracts
and go into business for themselves.
The plumbers strike took new turn. Up
until yesterday the apprentices had been at
work and the bosses were getting along
tolerably well. Yesterday at 10 o'clock the
boys organized and called all the appren-
tices off. About 200 of them quit work.

PAYING OFF AN OLD DEBT.
The MonongaheIa Navigation Company In.
creases Its Capital Stock.

A full meeting of the stockholders of the
Monongahela Navigation Company was held
yesterday afternoon, and the issue of 5000
shares of new stock authorized. The par
value of each share is $50, which makes the
increase in capitalization 100000. With this
increase the total capitalization of the COM
pany is about $2,0OO,OOO. The cause of the
new stock issue is to make up $500, ,0000 which
was paid out in construction and for which
stock had never been Issued. The excess of
cost over the original capitalization has
been caused by the erection of more dams
than was originally intended and for i'm
provements on the original one.
As stated yesterdayby Mr.. Bakewen and
Secretary Wood, most of this 100000 was
spent in the erection and improvements on
Locks 4, 3 and 7. Part of it dates back to
1881. When the work was completed bonds
were issued instead of stock, and this new
stock is to be issued only as these bonds be-
come due. The entire amount of the new
issue will not be made for five years. The
meeting, of course, was private, but the
officers say there was no friction.

4 PIECE OF BELTzHoOvER SOD
Causes Considerable Trouble and Three
Suits Before an Alderman,


Three criminal suits were entered before
Alderman Hartman, yesterday, which, it is
said, resulted from a dispute in relation to
the ownership of a small piece of sod. The
suits as entered are: Minnie Uaus against
Bridget Brown for aggravated assault and
battery; John Haus against Patrick Brown
for disOTderly conduct and assault and Mary
Siebert against Mary Brown for assault and
battery The Haus and Brown families are
neighbors and reside in Beltzhoover
borough. The allegation in the cases is that
the children of the two families had been
playing together and had carried a lot of sod
belonging to one of the families into the
yard adjoining and when the time came to
return it dispute arose as to the ownership
OF one certain small piece.
The quarrel was kept up until the heads
of the families were drawn into the
fight In the melee, it is said, that Bridget
Brown throw the piece of sod in question,
and hit Minnie Haus John Haus says he
was taking no active part in the trouble, but
received a blow from Patrick Brown, who
threw paling which had been torn from
u partition fence. Mary Siebert says she is
a servant girl in the Haus family and was
watching the fun, when Mary Brown
walked up to her and hit her.

NOT A FAIR FIGHTER.
Campbell Slashes Bill Madden Across the
Forehead With Razor.

CampD6u SlaSneS BILL MaQQon ACROSS Gn0
Forehead With Razor.
William Madden alias Delaney and John
Campbell got into dispute which they
adjourned to the Allegheny river, under the
Eleventh street bridge to settle. They were
accompanied by Ed Fitzpatrick, who pro-
posed to act as referee. When they squared
off Campbell, who is much the larger man,
drew q razor and attacked Madden, slashing
him across the forehead. Several cuts across
the breast of Madden's coat testify to the
further attempts of Campbell to injure
Madden, but the one over the forehead was
the only one that did any injury. Afterward
Madden renewed the attack when Camp
bell was not expecting it, and had almost
yanquished his big adversary, when Officers
Connolly, Glenn and Peoples came upon the
scene. Campbell fled to the Allegheny side
of the river, but Madden and Fitzpatrick
were corraled.
Madden was sent to the Homeopathic
Hospital, where his wound was dressed, and
then he was locked up in Central station
with Fitzpatrick. Campbell was arrested
late last night at the house of Kate Gleason,
at 1920 Penn avenue, where he was hiding.

TWO MEAN CHICKEN THIEVES.
A Fight Over the Last Remaining Hen
Causes Their Downfall.

DR.. A. j. Barchfeld, of South Eighteenth
street, has been troubled lately by some
person or something making away with his
poultry. A few weeks ago he had AZ fine
chickens in one coop and one night 25 of
them disappeared. A watch was placed, but
the chickens would disappear at the rate of
two or three at u time, until all but three
were gone. Yesterday morning about
O'Clock he heard q loud noise in the coop.
A visit to the coop revealed the fact that
two large dogs were in there and having a
rough and tumble fight over the carcass of
the only remaining chicken. The doors of
the coop were closed, and Officer Beers, of
the Southside police, was sent for, who
riddled the dogs with bullets. Although the
is satisfaction in knowing that the thieves
were apprehended.

The Tropical Town OF St. Pierre.

We are ashore in St. Pierre, the
quaintest, queerest. and the prettlest
withal among the West Indian cities;
all stone-built and stone-fagged, with
very narrow streets, wooden awnings,
iron balconies, and peaked roofs of red
tile pierced by gabled dormers. Most
of the buildings are painted in a clear
pale yellow tone, which contrasts de-
lightfully with the burning blue ribbon
of tropical. sky above; and no street is
absolutely level. Nearly all of them
climb hills, descend into hollows, curve,
twist, describe sudden and amazing
angles. There is everywhere contin-
uous chant of running water, pouring
through the deep cutters contrived be-
tween the paved thoroughfare and the
absurd little sidewalks varying in
width from one to three feet. The
architecture is very old; it is seven
teenth-century probably; and it re-
minds one a great deal of that charac-
terizing the antiquated French quarter
of New Orleans. But one must mag
inc New Orleans idealized by artistic
conception, made intensely tropical,
and projected audaciously upon the
side of huge volcanic hill. All the
tints, the forms, the vistas, would seem
to have been especially selected or de-
signed for aquarelle studies, just to
please the whim of some extravagant
artist. No ruin was ever more pictur-
esque than these living streets in their
perfect solidity and undilapidated
quaintness. The windows are frame
less openings without glass; some have
iron bars; all have heavy wooden shut
tiers with movable Stats, through which
light and air can enter as through We
netian blinds. These are usually
painted green or bright bluish-gray.-
