by the Republican candidate. Campbell is
not free trader, as has been charged. He
is a tariff man, but for tariff for revenue
only, and not to the extent of taxing i'm

their cost to consumers-in other words, the
whole community. Why should not
articles that this country cannot
produce be admitted free of duty?
To enable Americans to embark in their
manufacture you say? That is very well,
but how is it that during all the time the
tariff act has been in existence that no effort
has been made in this direction? Mainly
because, as in the case of tin plate the ma

MORE PUPILS THAN EVER.

The Largest Enrolment Ever Recorded In
Pittsburg's Public Schools.
The Central Board of Education met last
night, but transacted only routine business.
Secretary Reisfar reported the expenses for
September as S43,S73 sc. The report of
Superintendent Luckey showed the largest
enrolment of pupils ever known in the
history of the schools. The total number
enrolled is %, This is 731 more than
were on the rolls last September, and 700
more than ever previously enrolled. To
instruct these pupils 652 teachers were en-
ployed. At the High School, Principal
Wood reported an enrolment of S94. The
High School Committee reported that pipes,
fan, etc, could be put in and the High
School kept well ventilated at an expense
of So 900. Some of the members thought
better results could be obtained by adopt
ing ventilating system, and the matter
went back to the committee. The commit
tee also recommended that J. II. Apple be
elected assistant professor of mathematics
and the sciences, and Thomas w. Eicher
engineer and plumber of the High School.
The latter is a new position at 5000 year.
Charles Loury and John B. Wellens were
also applicants. Prof Apple was elected
unanimously, but it took two ballots to get
Mr.. Eicher legal majority.
The Homewood School asked fol two
additional teachers, and the Mt Washing
ton, Sterrett, Ralston, Highland, Oakland
and Liberty for one each. The Committee
on Teachers and Salaries met after the board
adjourned and granted all the requests.

AN APPOINTMENT AT THE COUNTY JAIL.
Happenings Of Interest Gathered in Pittsburg and
Allegheny.

Fire last evening partly destroyed the
four-story brick building No. 957 Liberty
street. 1t is owned bv James Lockhart and
occupied by b. f. Veacb, dealer in paper
sacks. and w T. Chaffey, dealer in stone
and crockeryware. The latter is on the
ground floor. The three upper floors are
used by Mr. Veach in manufacturing and
storing his goods.
The flames broke out shortly after 6
O'Clock on the top floor of the building.
They are supposed to have started from
boiler though this is not definitely known.
The fire had a good start when the depart
ment arrived, and three alarms were neces-
sarv. 1t took an hour to get it fully under
control. The fire occurred just about the
time when the streets were crowded more
than any other part of the day and attracted
q large audience.
The crowd, as usual, interfered consider
ably with the work of the fremen, got wet
under the showers from bursted hose and
finally went home damp and angry. The
Birmingham traction and Spring Garden
cars were stopped for over an hour by lines
of hose across Liberty street. The former
line had to turn its cars on the Pleasant
dil6N SNItCll at AltS O1O pOslOllSS ~
back to the Scuthside.
The flames were hottest in the rear of the
burning building. Directly across the alley
from this is the big stable of T. c. Jenkins.
II was feared for a time that this would
catch fire and all the horses were taken out.
The roof and upper floor of No. 955 was
also slightly damaged by fire and water. 1t
is occupied by Maui and Grote, tobacco
dealers.
The entire loss on the fire will not exceed
$4,000. Mr. Veach is the principal loser
in this. HI had between Sc, 900 and 900
worth of stock, consisting of various kinds
of paper sacks. This was all destroyed
either by fire or water. Mr.. Neach also
had some fine machinery in his place, but it
is not thought TO be damaged to any great
extent. His loss is covered by insurance.
James Lockhart's loss on the building will
not exceed 81, 900 or 81, 800. Mr. Chaffey's
loss is about $4,000.

nation-WorId's Fair Figures.
Worlds Fair Commissioner Massey. of
Delaware, was passenger on the Limited
to Chicago last evening. Mr.. Massey ran
as the Republican nominee for the Senator
ship in the last Congress, but was defeated
by one vote. Touching affairs political, he
said: f1 have no particular reason for say
ing so, and am really only mentioning nv
impression when 1 say that think Blaine
will not accept the nomination for President.
He may; and L may be mistaken, but from
what am given to understand, that is nv
opinion In default of Blaine, whom I
think the country wants, it will be Harri-
son. understand there is more or less op-
position to him for denomination and fail
to see why. He has given the country a
good and clean administration and he has
conformed to the principles on which he
was elected. Why there should be the op-
position to his denomination, which there
very apparently is, is not easily understood
If Blaine Will only accept, the course of the
Republican party in 1892, will, to my
mind, be very clear sailing
Respecting the Ohio campaign, there
seems to me to be not altogether harmony
in the party. Foraker and Sherman are
not, seemingly, on the best of terms, and
IneTe seems 10 DC j personal nght between
the two. This may not serve the interests
of the party. Mckinley is making capi-
tai fight and L think has the best of it. 1
anticipate decided victory for the Repub-
lican party in Ohio.
81 am one of the two Eastern members of
the Worlds Fair Commission" continued
Mr.. Massey, "and I'm going to Chicago to
be present at meeting of the Board of
Control tomorrow. The efforts of the cor
poration are meeting with much success.
Great Britain and Germany have applied
for so much space and have expressed so
great an interest in the Fair as to surprise
the managers. The other European coun-
tries, excepting Italy, have notified their
willingness to participate, and the Western
world will be well represented Few peo-
pie understand the magnitude of the un-
dertaking. 1t will be the biggest thing of
the kind the world ever saw. The area of
ground proposed to be covered by the cor
poration will be 100 acres, and not less than
ST., 200, 900 will have been expended before
a door is opened, and all this, mind YOU, is
outside of the cost and space allotted to the
foreign exhibitions

Attorney Archie Rowand and John j.
Fisher, Jr., Come to Blows in an Alder
mans Offce-Paper Weights and Warm
Language Brought to Active Use.
At the office of Attorney Archie Rowand
yesterday callers were told he was out of
the city, but would return to-day. 1t was
not explained that Mr.. Rowand was nurs-
ing pair of black eyes and cash in his
head as result of an alteration at Alder
man McNierney's Office, AL Butler street,
at late hour Monday night. Mr.. Row.
and's statement of the difficulty could not
be obtained as he was not to be found, but
the Alderman had no hesitancy In giving
all the details
John J. Fisher, Jr., had brought suit
against his father, John j. Fisher, Sr., to
recover Judgment on claim for S195 alleged
to be due the son from the father as a bal
ance of purchase money on several COWS,
and $50 borrowed money. Mr.. Rowand
represented the father. He has been his
attorney for several years, during which
there was a continuous legal battle
between the sire and son over the estate left
by the late Mrs. Fisher. This has
been going on for about five years. In 1888
young Fisher was arrested for illegal liquor
selling at Verona and was bound over to
court. To protect his property against
possible judgments he alleges he gave his
father judgment note in the sum
of S475, which was given without con-
sideration. This note, the young man
charges, was turned over to Mr.. Rowand,
who got the money on it. Young Fisher
was compelled to pay the note, which, with
interest and costs, amounted to nearly
81 900. James Mitchell, a friend of Fisher,
hQ ho ho Ofo for
him, advancing the money on real estate
security. AT the hearing Monday night
these old troubles were brought up.
CAS- the testimony progressed" said
Alderman McNierney yesterday, "Mr.
Rowand attempted to show that Mrs. Fisher
had done much for her son which should be
charged up against him and in favor of the
father.
"'Did not Archie Rowand make you
swear in court, asked young Fisher of his
father, that he (Rowand) had taken the
$40 to quash the proceedings in the liquor
prosecutions?'
''The old gentleman refused to answer,
and Mr.. Rowand became very angry and de-
MED the statement.
You got the money said young Fisher
to Rowand, and Mr.. Mitchell paid the
note.
You are a liar" retorted Mr.. Rowand.
If you repeat that said young Fisher,
Z will knock you down. Rowand finally
hit young Fisher. This was provoked by
Fisher. After Rowand hit Fisher the young
man returned the blow, knocking
the attorney over against my desk. John
Coyne also hit Rowand, and finally young
Fisher knocked him fiat on his back, cut
ting cash three inches long over his eye.
Then Rowand jumped up, and seizing a
heavy glass paper weight in each hand,
hurled them at young Fisher. Fortunately
they missed him. During the racket ran
out and called for the police

Limbs the Worst.
A quartette of untortunates is the number
reported yesterday, but none are of serious
nature. The new Allegheny electric line
gets its share. Here is the list:
BLoCKNG-John Blocking, a 10year-old
child, fell off a wagon on which he was
riding, on Bradford street, Southside, yester-
dav, and had both of his legs broken. He
was removed to his parents home in Allen
town,
KELLINGER-Edward Kellinger, a young
man 81 years of age, was struck and knocked
down by electric car on Pennsylvania
avenue, Allegheny, yesterday afternoon. As
the car passed him one of the wheels ran
over one of his feet but although it cut the
boot he wore, the foot was only bruised. He
was taken to the General Hospital.
MUTZEo-Andrew MutZeo, a Hungarian
laborer at Moorhead's plate mill, had his
right leg severely cut last night by piece of
plate iron. He was taken to the Mercy Hos
pital by patrol wagon No. 4.

Interesting Reports From the Grand Master
Workman and Recorder, Showing the
Growth of the Lodge-A Boat Ride the
Programme To-Day.
The Grand Lodge A. o. U. w. met in
this city yesterday in annual session, and
spent the entire day in listening to reports
and approving the same. The meeting was
held in Veteran Legion Hall on Sixth ave-
nue., and Grand Master Workman Maloney
presided. Over 200 lodges were present,
and not grand official was missing.
Perhaps the most interesting document
was the annual report of Grand Master
Workman Maloney. He takes up the num-
Der of deaths for the year 1891 and makes a
somewhat lengthy review of the work. In
closing he said.
The past term, while showing an in
crease in membership, has not been as sue
have worked together TO retard our growth;
high death rate, and consequently heavier
assessments than ever before, caused largely
by the ravages of la grippe, failures in finan-
c1al and commercial circles, creating gen.
eral feeling of uneasiness, stringency in he
money market and stagnation of money
affairs, all of which from the report of our
deputies and organizers and my own per-
sonal experience have had their effect.
Nevertheless l do not fully agree
with some few of our brothers in
Tee5rs meht as sar tpRe wiS tRn
of confidence upon the part of our capital
lists and consequent restoration of business
activity. 1 believe that our order, which
has fairly we'll withstood the various storms,
will experience a season OF general pros
perity. 1t will be well to awaken the mem
bers and keep alive the interest in the order,
and for this purpose to expend such reason
able sums of money as may be necessary. 1
do not believe, however, in n lavish expend-
iture of money and consequent exorbitant
per capita tax upon our members; after
passing through snch times as we have our
membership are not prepared for any such
move. have no doubt that this, as well as
all other questions, will be carefully consid-
cred by your Grand Lodge.
Grand Recorder McNair reported that
the receipts for 1890 were 1921, ,619 95.
There was paid out S252, 900 to the bene-
fciaries
These reports had been prepared previ-
ously and printed in pamphlet form. Each
delegate was given one which enabled the
convention to consider them intelligently.
At o'clock they had all been read and ap-
proved. This afternoon the 252 delegates
will take boat excursion rendered them by
the Pittsburg lodges, and will resume the
work of the convention tomorrow morning.

1t will be remembered that quite sensa-
tion was created in Meadville few weeks
ago over the refusal of the school board to
accept flags donated to the schools by the
Juniors. A petition was presented at the
recent session of the State Council, claiming
that the organization had been grossly mis-
represented, and asking that some action be
taken by the State body bearing on the
matter. The State Council ordered the
demonstration that is to be held next Satur-
day. The State officers will be present.
