ALLEGHENY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION.
That 1t Is Rapidly Growing in Extent and

That 1t Is Rapidly Growing in Extent and
Influence is Shown by Statistics.
The Rev. R. S. Lawes, D. D., who is
busily engaged at 112 South avenue, Alle-
gheny, in completing the statistics of the
Allegheny Baptist Association, says the
association embraces II churches, with q
membership of 1, ,235. Several of the larger
churches are yet on the outside, waiting
their chancss. He states that majority
of these churches own their build
ings and some Of them are out of debt.
He also states that the Baptists are on q
rapid increase in Western PENNSYLVANIA;
and that so strong is the influence of the in
creasing Baptist sentiment that the Metho-
dist ministers are regularly baptizing by i'm
mersi,n in most of theii churches in the two
cities
With Prof J. c. Taylor, D. D., as Mod
orator and two strong boards, the Execu-
tive Board and Board of Associational Mis-
sions, they hope to sustain the Baptist doc
trine upon the strongest, as well as the most
liberal basis. With the associational mis-
sions. with Rev. William P. Gibbons as
Chairman, the Woman's Home and Foreign
Mission Societies, with Mrs j. c. TAYLOR as
President, and the Sunday School Con-
vention, with Mr.. L. T. Ailer President,
they hope to be able to sustain their
principles.

He Clearly Proves That He Was in
the Columbus Penitentiary When
Mrs. Rudert Was Killed.
HE Is IDENTIFIED AS JOHN MACK,
The Temperature Takes Drop of Twenty
Degrees, and Pittsburg Is En-
VelOped in Fog.
Ex-MAYOR BRUSH MAY YET RECOVER.
Happenings Of Saturday in the Twin Cities at the
Head Of the Ohio

Last night John Condry. alias "Eggy
Conrov," thoroughly established an alb
which proves that he was not connected
with the Rudert murder at Tarentum.
This still leaves the police at sea as to who
was Killain's pals at that famous jewellery
robbery ard murder. Condry had claimed
that he was in the Columbus penitentiary
at the time this murder was comm itted
He was serving a sentence under the name
Of John Mack.
Last night ex-Marshal William Williams
arrived from Youngstown to make the
Identification AS Condry had been taken
90 Jail the identification was made there.
Marshal Williams wa. accompanied by In
spector McAleese, Chief Murphy, of ALLIE
gheny, and Detective Robinson. Condry
ssluted Inspector McAleese and Chief
Murphy as soon as he was brought
out into the corridor Then he
caught sight of Mr.. Williams and at-once
extended his hand. Both men recognized
each other and shook hands
IDENTIFIED BEYOND DOUBT.
Williams then stated that Coudry was the
man he arrested in May, 1889, for burglariz-
ing the residence of DR.. Meyer, in Youngs-
town, and who was subsequently sent to the
Ohio Penitentiary for two years under the
name of John Mack. Condry, during the
conversation which followed, remembered
the Marshal of many little things that had
occurred in the Youngstown Mayors office
after his arrest, particularly the fact that he
was allowed to retain q comb which some of
the officers wanted 10 teie away from him.
This Identification proves beyond doubt
that Condry had nothing to do with the Tar
cntum murder.
When Condry was arrested on Thursday
last, he was the possessor of a neat little
black mUStache, and he was altogether not
bad looking man. He was thoroughly
searched, clear to the skin, before he was
locked up, and the officers were certain that
there was no instrument of any kind about
him.
SHAVED WHILE IN JAIL.
Yesterday when Detective Robinson took
Condrv from his cell TO have him pho
toCraphed and then place him in
lail, it was noticed that his neat
mustache had almost entirely disappeared
and how TO account for its disappearance the
officers were at n loss to know. That the
prisoner had no instruments of any kind,
not even a knife about him they were salts
fed yet the mustache was gone. Condry
was asked to explain its disappearance; he
simply smiled in knowing way and said
ihat he cheweG it off The prisoner
then explained that he knew the
officers here would have him
photographed and would send a picture to
the Columbes Penitentiary for identified
tion. This would give the Benwood, w.
Va, authorities chance at him, and in
order 70 spoil the picture he got rid of his
chewing it of.
Condry will be held 10 await the action of
the West Virginia authorities.

HE CAN'T SUE HIS WIFE.
Some Sensations to Follow the Signor
Elopement on the Southside.

Some Sensations to Follow the signor
Elopement on the Southside.
Some developments which have been un-
looked for are expected to turn up after,the
hearings are held in the larceny cases
against George Little, Daniel Harris and
others, which followed the alleged elope-
ment of Mrs. Charles Signor. of the South
side, three weeks ago The story of the
elopement was published in full at the time
and created sensation. But now it is said
another chapter, about as sensational as the
first. is in process of evolution.
1t was reported last evening that after
the hearings are held before Alderman Sue
cop those who have been arrested will enter
suit against Charles Signor for malicious
and false arrest, as it is claimed Signor
could not legally prefer the charges against
the men for the reason that they, it is said,
only aided Mrs. Signor in taking away the
household goods, and under the present
laws a man cannot sue his wife for larceny
Those under arrest are confident they will
be discharged for this reason, and also for
the fact that one alderman refused to take
the cases .. -..-.-

BIG SHIPS USELESS.
Captain Doubassoff, of the Russian
Navy, Says Torpedo Boats
ALWAYSBEATTHEHEAV VESSELS
He Had Personal Experience on the Danube.
Where lie Destroyed
TURKISH MONITORS BY THEIR AID

Captain Doubassoff, of the Russian navy,
was at the Duquesne yesterday. He stopped
over perforce, because of the accident on
the Fort Wayne road, which caused him to
miss his train. He was travelling from San
Francisco to New York, via Washington,
on his homeward way from Vaneouver's
Island. He accompanied the Czarowitch
in his recent trip around the world.
Captain Donbsssof is fine specimen of
manhood, standing over six feet, broad
shouldered, symmetrically built, and very
fair, with blue eyes that sparkle
as only sailors can. This is
his first trip to America. He had
a mission from his Government and was
returning, having accomplished it. He e1-
amined the shipbuilding yards with great
interest, and was going to Washington to
inspect the navyyard there. Like all Rus
slams, Captain Doubassof is linguist and
has succeeded in mastering English. Speak
ing of the modern practice of armoring bat
tie ships, he said last night:
LARGE ARMoRED SHIPS A MISTAKE
fsRussia has not recently made expert
ments regarding the best description OF
arnor for men-of-war. The plating used is
known as the compound variety, made of
steel and iron, with backing Of wood. My
personal opinion regarding the utility of
large and heavily armored ships is that they
are a mistake. In the first place the
projectile is far superior in effect to the
best defensive armor, and think always
will be; and in the next the big ships
are always at the mercy of the
torpedo boats. I had personal experience
of this in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877,
when I surrounded and blew up several
Turkish monitors in the Danube with the
aid of torpedo boats. For coast defense
the torpedo boat and gunboat carrying
few heavy firing guns are, in my opinion,
superior to the heavy ships now building"
"You think this country is wise In build
ing navy?"
WISDOM OF BUILDING NAVY.
"Certainly. 1t is not when the enemy is
at your door you must look to your de-
fenses. You cannot train seamen and Off
GERS and build your ships after war has been
declared. 1t takes years, of careful training
to bring a navy up to maritime efficiency.
1 think America is building navy at the
right time. She has nothing to undo, no
old ships to replace, and can
now construct neet with every
modern Improvement and on = the best
lines. While this country is at peace, it is
impossible to say what complications may
lie in the future, and am certainly of
the opinion this country is acting wisely in
preparing for an emergency.
81 have not had an opportunity of seeing
any of your ships on close inspection, but
understand they are constructed on proper
lines. Except that" concluded Captain
Doubassoff, smiling, ''they will always be
at the mercy of torpedo boats"

It is just being found out that there is q
mystery connected with the Exposition of
1891, that when fully unfolded, will create
no small sensation. 1t has been carried on
so quietly that no one has suspected it and
the surprise will be correspondingly great
when the entire plot is disclosed; excitement
will run high when the denouement is
reached; the writer has been busy getting at,
details, which in time will be made public
but at this moment it is only safe to say
that some one is going to be made very
joyous, and yet the delightful result will be
the outcome of good hard work, and bright
intelligence, and afterwards, when it is too
late, those who will have to be classed
among the unhappy can only blame them
selves with the exception of those who
have passed the halcyon days of 16
and they perhaps, are to be pitied. Well,
what is the mystery? And when and by
whom will it be solved? The mystery
must remain hidden until the day the
Exposition opens, when Messrs. Hopper
Bros & Co. will give all. the particulars to
the school children who have not passed
the age of 16, but nothing will be told until
that day.

A NEW MUSICAL INVENTION.
Lehr's 7-octave Piano-Organs.

Lehr's 7-Octave Piano-Organs.
These are the only organ made that have
compass of seven full octayes and
that look exactly like a fine up
right piano. There are no stops in
view nor any unsIghtly bellows pedals,
but the instrument is worked BY two
pedals exactly like those on piano, and a
6-year-old child is able to work them with
ease The delicacy and variety of its tones
are wonderful and the touch so light and
quick that the most difficult piano pieces
can be executed thereon without difficulty.
1t is a marvellous improvement on the COM
mon parlor organ and has created great
sensation in musical circles The price is
not higher than that of the ordinary organ.
H. Kleber & Bro, sos Wood street, are the
sole agents, and they invite all, whether
purchasers or not, to call and see it. Kleber
L. Bro are selling these wonderful instru-
ments as fast as the manufacturers can fur
nish them.

Great Musical Attractions at a. Kieber s.
Bros,

Another of those wonderful Vocation
organs, christened by Gladstone, has been
sold by Kleber & Bro. to the Shady Ave-
nue. Baptist Church, East End, Pittsburg,
Pa, for use in their new and elegant church
building This is the twentieth Vocation
sold in this city.
The superiority and the beauty of the
pianos and organs sold at Klebers' throw all
others in the shade; and intelligent
musical and well-informed people pre-
fer to deal at Klebers', knowing that the
choicest musical instruments such as the
Steinwsy, Conover and Opera can be had
only at Klebers', 506 Wood street. Besides
the Klebers sell at a smaller profit, and
warrant their instruments three years longer
than any other dealer, viz: for eight years.
