AN ALLEGED POLITICAL DEAL

Whereby New York Democrats Will Be
Supported by the CloalImakers' Union.
NEW YORK, Oct. AT a meeting of the
Central Labor Federation tonight, the del
egates of the Cloakmakers' Union reported
that efforts had been made on the part of
the Executive Committee of their union to
have their leader, Rheingold, pardoned
from prison by the Governor, which had
been promised them if their union would
indorse the State ticket of the Democratic
party.
This statement caused a great sensation
and sharp discussion. A committee was
appointed to find out the truth in the mat
ter.

Many Companies Being Organized.

j. p. Witherow said last night that one
reason why not more timed plate companies
were being organized was owing to the un-
easy feeling in financial circles which pre-
vailed during the summer. He saws he
knows of some seven or eight that are under
wav West of this city, and he believes that
during the winter months there will be
much done in this direction. He thinks
that by next spring American manufacture
ers will have gone into the business with
such vigor as will surprise the Welsh work.

it always has done.
"This union," he said, "does not claim to
have any theater orchestras composed en-
tirely of its own members. But we do
claim to have many of the musicians in
those orchestras members of our union. I
don't know what the Knights of Labor may
be doing or propose to do about any new
orchestras. This union is an association of
musicians and we shall always welcome
musicians to our ranks.

Costly Accident at the Pittsburg Tube
Work Last Evening.
A lap-weld furnace at the Pittsburg Tube
Works, Soho, was blown to pieces last
night. The furnace was supplied with gas
oil, and in some way the gas escaped
through leak in the pipe which led into
the furnace, and ignited. An explosion
followed, blowing the furnace to pieces.
Bricks and iron were scattered throughout
the mill, and this did considerable damage
to the building and machinery near by.
The furnace was total wreck
Luckily, there were no persons in the
mill except the watchman, aud he happened
to be in another department and escaped
uniniured The damage done to the furnace
could not be learned but the watchman
said it would amount to several thousand
dollars. The report of the exxplosion was
heard at Oakland, and houses we're shaken
for several squares about the neighbor-
hood

Bicycle Bells Rung by Electricity.

H. G. Issertel, representing New York
firm of electrical supplies, is at the Du-
quesne. He says the latest novelty is a
bicycle bell operated by electricity stored
in a drv battery so small as to readily fit in
the bag. Another Ingenious device is a
coach horn similarly worked. An advant-
age this machine possesses, when used as y
time bell in factory. etc, is that its music
cannot be transmitted by telephone, as all
other sounds can. Mr.. Issertel had lamp

A TALK ON HAYTI.
MI. Frederick Douglass Delivers an Enter.
tanning Address.

Mr.. Frederick Douglass Delivers an Enter
tanning Address.
Mr.. Frederick Douglass, the ex-minister to
Hayti, delivered an interesting address last
evening at the Metropolitan Baptist Church on
r street between 18th and 18th streets. The
lecture, which began at $50 o'clock, was de-
hvered in connection with fair which is in
progress at the church. The exercises of the
evening were opened with prayer by Rev.
Walter Brooks and hymn by the choir, after
which DR.. C. B. Purvis. in a few well-chosen
and pleasant remarks, introduced Mr.. Douglass
TO deliver an address on the subject of Hayti.
Mr.. Douglass began his address BY replying
to the charges made against him of blurting
out state secrets and betraying condolences.
The New York papers had been most active in
making these charges, a leading republican
daily taking the lead. Yet this paper. he said
had not shown, nor could it show, a single spe-
cific instance wherein he had blurted out a
state secret or betrayed a confidence. The
trouble was that he had told the story of Haytl
in a manner different from what some of his
friends might have wished. Mr.. Douglass said
that he had no reason to apologize either to the
New York papers or to the United States govern
ment for anything he had said or done. He
had told nothing that not true, though lie
had not told the whole truth. If. i'll legal
phraseOlogy, he was driven to the WALL the
speaker said it might become necessary for
him 20 tell n little more than he had yet done.
With this Introduction Mr.. Douglass went on
to give u charming sketch Of Hayti which he
said was more than usually interesting to the
United States just now as the result of the es-
forts Of the latter to establish naval station in
the black republic Aside from this he said
there is much that is interesting and instruct
i've to this country. and especially to the colored
people here, In the life, character. history and
probable destiny Of the people of Hayti.
