of Thomas Kelly, Jury Commissioner, for
threatening and intimidating jurors in a
case in which he was q defendant The
case grew out OF will, Kelly being one of
the heirs. He had placed the names of sew
eral jurors in the wheel. and doubtless
thought they were under obligations to
him.
After the verdict of the jury had been an
nounced to court they were sent back to
comply with technicality. While return
ing to the courtroom they met Kelly who
bera ted his friends on the jury fiercely, at
the same time threatening the lives OF his
opponents. When they reached the court
room the jurors informed the Judge of what
had occurred, and he Immediately sent the
case to the grand jury, which returned a
true bill. Kelly was arrested and gave bail
TO answer. One of the jurors confessed to
the grand jury that he refused to agree with
the II against him for hours because he
feared kelly'S vengeance.

HE REFUSED TO MARRY HER.

A Pole Induces a German Widow to Bring
Him to America and Then Deserts Her
She Will Be Sent to Friends in Chi
cago.
Joseph Syks was brought to the Depart
ment of Charities yesterday by Immigrant
Inspector Layton. He had caught the man
just as he was trying to get away with the
baggage, of five other immigrants. The
story was that Syks had induced Mrs. Mary
Schwartz to leave the town of Brombach, in
the province of Posen, and come TO America
with him. He had a brother, John Syks,
a baker at 2S3S Penn avenue, She had
little store in her native home, but he in
duced her to sell that and bring himself and
her four children to America, he promising
to marry her when they reached Pittsburg.
1t took all the money to bring them this
far. On Tuesday night they arrived at
Castle Garden on the steamer Ser
via, and yesterday morning at 6 o'clock
they landed in Pittsburg. She wanted to
be married at once, but he refused and left
them at the station. He found his brother.
and after dinner he went and claimed the
baggage, with the supposed intention of get
ting out of the city. One of the children,
however, saw Syks and called his mother.
The woman at once denounced him and he
was arrested. Neither he nor the woman
had any money.
Mrs. Schwartz, however, has a wealthy
sister in Chicago anu will be sent there by
the Department of Charities Inspector
Layton has wired the Inspector at Chicago
to secure bond from the sister
that the family shall not become charge
on the city within the next five years.
Syks has a wife in Poland, and will be
held until the story is Investigated.

DIVIDING THE INDUSTRY.

A Scheme to Turn Out Tin Plate In Two
Separate Establishments-All Sheet Mill
Owners to BE Taken in-Next Weeks
Meeting.
A number of Pittsburg manufacturers
will 60 to New York next Tuesday to attend
a meeting in that city, called for the purpose
of devising some plan by which to interest
sheet mill owners to adopt facilities for the
manufacture of tin Plate Some of the mills
of the country are already adapted to rolling
sheet for tin plates, and with compare
lively small outlay many others could be put
in shape for this character of work.
An informal meeting Of Pittsburg manu-
facturers was held few days ago when the
matter WAS talked'over. 1t was suggested
that some means be employed to can
vass the country and ascertain how
many manufacturers would 90 into
the tin plate business. 1t is expected
that many of the sheet mills will
be represented at the meeting next week
when this plan will be discussed and
probably decided upon. This will in all
probability bring back into existence the
tin plate association which has been allowed
to sleep itself almost away for want of
interest.
But there is vet more important feature
in the plan. If it is possible to leave the
rolling of sheets to the mills who are in a
position, to do so, and to have the timing
plants proper in the hands of others, it is
thought the industry could be thoroughly
established with less expense. It is re-
ported that several capitalists are ready to
embark In putting up the timing stacks
as soon as thev can be assured that regu-
lar supply of block sheets will be iormu-
lated at suitable price.
E1-Secretarv Cronnemeyer, of the Amer
lean Timed Plate Association, and P. H.
Laufman, will be among the Pittsburg at
tendants at the New York meeting. An
eHort was made to see these gentle emeu yes
terday, but they could not be found. Mr..
Shenck, of Demmler & Schenck, was seen,
and he said be thought sufficient number of
the sheet mill owners could be induced to
take up the work to supply those who will
put up the timing stacks. Among the
mills that are in a position to do this are
shoenberger & Co., the Apollo Iron and
Steel Company, the Cannonsburg Iron and
Steel Company and Moorhead & McCleane.

DANGER FROM GAS WELLS.

Inspector James Blick Points Out How
Disaster May Occur From Gas Leaking
From Wells Into Mines-He Shows How
1t Can Be Remedied.
In the course of talk yesterday Inspector
James Blick, of the Seventh district, had
the following to say: "There is one great
danger not directly connected with mining
legislation over which the miner and mine
manager has no control, but which will
hereafter be a standing menace to the safety
of underground workers unless provided
against. I allude TO our abandoned oil and
gas wells. The length Of time which natu-
raj gas may continue to flow is matter
which we need not speculate upon: it is suf-
ficient to know that the wells are being
abandoned one after the other, as being no
longer of value to the producers. Now,
the point wish to make is that
our gas and oil wells in most cases
are all drilled through the lower
coal measures and in this vicinity most of
them are commenced above and pass through
the Pittsburg coal bed. When the wells
are abandoned 1 believe it is the custom to
plug them Immediately above the gas-bear-
ing rock, and after the casing is Withdrawn
it is assumed that the upper portion of the
well, for some distance down from the sur
lace, becomes completely obstructed by the
natural filling up of sediment from the sur
face, but underneath which the we'll will
be full of gas, held under high pressure.
What will be the result in the future when
the coal fields, penetrated by hundreds of
drill holes, are in course Of development?
We all know that the loss Of thirty lives at
the Hill Farm Mine during last summer
-, - 20 oHala
Grating therefrom an accumulation of water
and explosive gas. That disaster is only a
slight indication of what may occur when
coal is being mined among abandoned and
forgotten oil and gas wells, unless steps are
taken to guard against the danger.
ssAs to how that can be best accomplished
may be a subject for suggestion. I offer the
following: When a we'll is abandoned, that
it DE plugged Immediately above the gas
bearing rock and then filled up to point
above the upper coal seam with suitable
cement, which would become hardened and
nearly equal to the strata as 4 resisting
body, and the location o! the wells be indi-
Gated on county or township maps to be pre-.
served in the county buildings for future
reference. The work should be placed
under the supervision of the County Engi-
neer. and the cost borne by the parties ope-
rating the wells at the time of their aban-
donment. 1t may be urged that the expense
attending this method would be the prime
factor against its mplishment, but the
expense, although considerable, cannot for
n moment be compared to the value Of hu-
man life, which, in all probability, will be
sacrificed sooner or later, unless the above
or some other effective precautionary meas
ures are adopted to prevent it. At any rate,
the subject is one of grave importance to
the mining industry of the future and is de-
serving OF prompt consideration by the
proper authorities"

ROBBED HER HOSTESS.
and Escapes to Oil City-Caught by the
Detectives-HOw They Followed Her.

Lou Davis Pillages the House of Her Friend
and Escapes to Oil City-Caught by the
Detectives-How They Followed Her.
Detectives johnson and Steele, of Allie
gheny, arrived home from Oil City last
night, bringing with them Lou Davis, a
woman who is wanted on that side of the
river for robbery. The robbery in question
was committed on Tuesday last, and the vic
tim was Mollie Woods, vino lives at 65
Craig street. Miss Davis has been in the
city for some time and has been frequenter
of the Woods house.
On Tuesday last Miss Davis. in company
with a man named Clarence Davis, called
at the house of Mrs. Woods, and finding the
proprietress absent, ransacked her room and
made their escape with S75 in money, cold
watch, pair of bracelets valued at $40, a
gold ring valued at SIS and necklace val
ued at $50
When Miss Woods returned home she
discovered the robbery and at once reported
it to police headquarters. The case was
given into the hands of Detectives johnson
and Steele, who, after some work, tliscov-
cred that the couple had checked their
trunk at the Union depot :or Oil City and
followed thither only to find that they had
gone to Foxburg.
The two detectives followed the trail as
far as Pun1sutawney, and from there back
to Oil City, where they arrived just in time
to catch the girl as she was boarding train
for Buffalo. The pair had separated at Fox
burg, and in that way the man managed to
escape. Miss Davis was locked up to
await hearing.

COLORED CITIZENS MEET.

Less Than Score Attend to Discuss Glass
Observation-Disclosures Smith Says the
Colored, Mans Situation Is His Own
Fault-No Delegates Elected.
The mass meeting of colored citizens
called 20 discuss the question of the white
race discriminating against the colored race
was held last evening in Eureka Hall, Ar
thur street. When the mass meeting or
ganized eight colored citizens were present.
During the evening enough stragglers cam
in to swell the number to Is, but before ad-
tournament they fell off to the original num-
Der. j. M. Hall was selected as chairman,
and j. M. Foster as secretary.
Chairman Hall announced that the object
Of the meeting was to discuss the discrimina-
tion against the colored race, and, also, to
elect delegates to the n ational Equal Rights
Convention to be held in Cincinnati, on
May 4. "Broadax" Smith was the first
speaker and opened discussion which
real estate agents not rehting property to
colored people, he said 1t was a business
question, and n man had right to rent his
property to whom he pleased. As TO the
colored mans situation it was his own fault.
He should economize and patronize colored
business men. Colored property owners
would not rent to colored people. Colored
men should save their money and buy their
own homes or "have the seat kicked out of
their pantaloons."
John Roy looked on the real estate matter
as one of business. Agents as rule did
not handle their own property. He thought
that the preachers had no business to take
up the matter. They should have attended
to the Gospel.
On motion speeches were limited to five
minutes. Mr.. Morton also thought preachers
should leave such questions to the working
people, the bone and sinew of the race.
Mr.. Foster said preachers had right to
their own opinions, but they should say
something practical and less about golden
stairs and golden slippers. Mr.. Fosters s
time expired before he made the point he
desired.
Ajax Jones declined to enter the arena,
but said all the discrimination against the
colored people was by the colored people
themselves. He also thought the ministers
should stick to 'expounding the Gospel.
The colored people of Pittsburg got along
all right and only needed to economic.
Mr.. Scott defended the colored people and
the preachers.
A point OF order was raised by Broadax
Shith, seconded by Ajax Jones. During
the discussion an interruption WAS made by
Mr.. Morton desiring to get 81 30 to pay the
hall rent. Ways and means were discussed
and the matter settled b. the passing of a
motion for all persons to call and pay their
proportion to "Broadax"
The matter of electing delegates to the
Equal Rights Convention was mex: taken
up. Some desired to elect at once and
others wanted to postpone action until
another meeting on account OF the small
number present. An animated discussion
followed, and points OF order were blunted
against each other; motions made, lost and
ruled out of order. until the mass of citizens
got tired and deferred the election OF dele
gates until future meeting, to be called by
the Chair.
