son Claimants viii Retire in His Favor
He Helped to Indorse Covering Pat
tison for President.
Judge W. W. Barr, of Clarion, wlo was
appointed recently to succeed tn. late
Judge Wilson, registered at the SEVENTH
Avenue Hotel last evening. The judge said
he was a good Democrat, or he supposed
the Governor would not have selected him.
As more than three months will intervene
between the death of Judge Wilson ard the
next election, the people will have to tecide
at the polls who will pass on their legal
disputes for them. If the time wer, less
than three months, under the Constitution,
he could be reappointed for another year.
Clarion and jefferson counties are il the
district. The Judge said he felt SUB the
Clarion Democracy would indorse him but
there are several rival candidates from JEFF
ferson. They claim the nomination by the
right of succession. "My only hopen re-
claimants will fail to agree, and will ,om-
promise by supporting me. Otherwise hey
can scare me out of fight very easily. I
will not run unless the field is clear and har-

throats, and In addition the judiciary is

ON AN EASTERN TOUR.
President Weihe on His Way to Visit Mills
Where Trouble Exists.

Where Trouble Exists.
President Weihe, of the Amalgamated As
sociation, lett last night for tour of the
Eastern mills. His first stop will be at
Logan, where there is a dispute He will go
from there to Steelton, where the big fight
is in progress. He will be gone about a week
or ten days, during which time he will visit
Pencoyd, Elmyra, Catasauqua and all other
points where trouble exists.
Mr.. Weihe was seen last evening before
his departure. There was one point of in
formation which he WAS particularly
anxious to have made public. 1t relates to
the decision of Superintendent Owens, of the
importation of foreign tin plate workers
Mr.. Weihe said: at may not be unlawful to
import these workmen. Neither is it
necessary. There is sufficient number of
tin plate workers in this country to-day to
make all the tin plate that is made, and am
sure 1t is not necessary to bring any more"
In regard to the dispute in the Sixth dis
trict, President Weihe sent communica-
ton yesterday to Vice President P. H Nc
Evey, stating that the Advisory Committee
will meet in Pittsburg August s, to audit the
books, and at that time will consider the OBJ
1ectionable clause in the new scale, increas-
ing the wages of helpers. 1t is probable the
Sixth district will send a strong delegation
to the meeting. At mills where the advance
has been allowed the puddlers have paid it
under protest, awaiting q decision from the
Advisory Committee.
President Weihe said yesterday he thought
the trouble would be setted aInicably.

A GLOWING REPORT.
Tenth Annual Statement of General Secre-
tary p, j, McCuire

Tenth Annual Statement of General Secre-
tary p. j. Mcclure.
P. j. MCGUIRE, General Secretary of the
Brotherhood Of Carpenters, has issued his
tenth animal report. The present member
ship is 81, 1874, Pennsylvania heading the list
with 80 unions, New York second with 95
and Ohio third with 65.
As result of the work of the union wages
have advanced so as to range from 81 90 to
So so per day, where the rate ten years ago
was from 81 so to so. Union men in ~ cities
are now working eight hours a day, and in
S3l cities nine hours day. In the past ten
years Sl56,25O was paid out from the general
fund for funeral and general disability ben
efts-S44 1872 of this being spent the past wear.
EnumeTating the strikes during the year.
Secretary Mcguire says:
THE strikes of the future in our trade ara
likely to be more prolonged, and there is
possibility of many lockouts and bitter con-
tests close at hand. These struggles will
test the manhood and d svotion of our mem
bers. We will have to pass through a cru
cial ordeal, which will strain every nerve
and fiber of our organization. The en-
ployers are preparing for it and so must We
At all times, however, our policy should be
first to secure conferences with the employ
ers. and, by negotiati n, endeavor to secure
settlement, only resorting to strike as a
last alternative"
There is a balance of S. 900 in the general
fund.

WILL BE READY IN TWO MONTHS.
The Lower Floor of the New Postoffice Al
most Finished.

The Lower Floor of the New Postoffice Al
most Finished.
Architect Pattison is very busy man
these days at the new Government building.
He expects to have the lower floor ready by
September for the moving of the postof1ce.
He says it will take at least a month before
the furniture and everything will be az
ranged, and he figures that the office will be
formally opened October l. A carload of
the screen has arrived, another is on the
road and the balance is in the finishing de-
partment of the factory. 1t will require 20
carloads to fit up the office.
1t was found when the rubbish was cleared
up on the Fourth avenue side that a stone
platform, II feet long, covering an opening
in the cellar, was broken. There was no way
of propping it up, and another one was or
dered from the quarry in Maine. Yesterday
Mr.. Pattison received word that when the
new stone was almost finished they broke
it. This will cause more delay, and the side
entrance will not be opened for some time
after the postoffice is moved. The Smithfield
street side is being cleared up, and the stone
pavement will soon be laid. Ali the windows
have been put in on the lower floor, the plas-
tering is finished and it looks ready for oc-
CupanCy.

district These we're Moorhead & McCleane's
Sligo and Olivers They also claimed that
this average would reduce their present
rate OF wages IA per cent.
A CONCESSION NOT GRANTED.
After considering the firms proposition,
however, a reply was made, Offering q con
cession of IL per cent, but the firm would
not hear to this, but made a further reply to
the men that if its proposition could not be
accepted there could not be q settlement.
The men seemed to think this was bluff on
the part of the firm, and the matter was re-
ferred TO Vice President Sheehan, of the
First district, who, in turn, consulted Presi-
dent Weihe. These gentlemen had con-
ference last Friday with Mr.. Moorhead, an
other on Saturday, and third on Monday.
Neither resulted in settlement of any
thing in dispute. No further concessions
were made by either side, and it is not likely
that any will be made.
President Weihe was seen at Amalgama-
ted headquarters yesterday afternoon. Re-
garding the trouble he said the men could
not go to work until the scale would be
signed.
"Then we are to understand the men as
being on a duly authorized striker" asked
the reporter.
Certainly" replied Mr. weihe, "the men
in all mills where the scale is not signed on
July strike.'
How will you support them if you cannot
pay strike benefits during July and
AuEuStG'
1T is not to be expected that the men
have worked steadily all the year round, at
the wages pictured in Mr.. Moorhead's circu-
lar, and not be able to strike few weeks
without receiving benefits. The men will
not suffer, / assure you.''-
HOW MIR. wEIHE LOOKS At IT.
Mr.. Weihe was asked what he knew about
rumor to the effect that Mr. Moorhead
wanted to create dissatisfaction among the
men, so that they would accept reduction
without compelling him to make an open
fight against the association. To this he re-
piled: Il cannot tell what Mr.. Moorhead's
motive may have been in pursuing the
course he has taken. All l kcow is that Mr..
Moorhead has not signed the scale, and his
mill will not run as union mill until he
does He can certainly find no plausible OBJ
lection to the scale or he woul dhave made
his complaint at the conference committee.
This he did not do except in general way.

A GRAVE QUESTION.

Cemeteries Being Rapidly Filled-New
Purposes-Argument in Favor of the
Cremation Plan.
What shall be done with the dead? This
is question that is beginning to agitate
some people who are not cremationists.
Pittsburg, though but little over 100 years
DID, has buried great many people and
many of the cemeteries are full, and all will
be in few more years.
At burial the other day in
the Methodist Cemetery i'll st. Clair
township, generrlly known as the old Meth
odist graveyard it was learned that the
ground was full except some spaces left in
the family lots. No more strangers can be
buried there except by permission from lot
owners as the ground is all occupied. st.
MichaePs Cemetery is also almost full. Even
in the old settled portions of the country
roundabout the same problem confronts the
people. The Sharon Presbyterian Church
graveyard is full, and the proprietors Of the
Coraopolis Cemetery expect to bury Sharon
people as fast as they succumb. The Forest
Grove Churchyard is also nearly full, and
others might be mentioned.
In the country this is not so serious as in
the city, as land is cheap and extensions or
new yards can be gotten cheaply, but in the
CITY it appears there are many persons who
are apprehensive that there may be corpses
buried on top of those of their relatives,
and, though the matter is only sentimental,
yet it gives some people much trouble. Then
there are sanitarians who think the earth
already sufficiently polluted without piling
corpse on corpse.
1t may be that cremation will never work
its way into general favor, as many people,
like the Egyptians, are more solicitious re-
garding their relatives bodies after death
than in life. But it would seem to be a good
time for cremationists to repolish
their arguments. The calcimed remains
of friend can be urned and
removed with the family without cost. The
urn can be buried in the yard and a rose
bush planted over it, and in every respect
incineration appears to recommend itself
so strongly that one would suppose it would
soon overcome prejudice. The only valid
argument advanced against the practice is
the ease with which criminals might obliter
ate traces of their work.
