Arrangements Made to Receive Pres
ident Gompers in Pittsburg.
SECURING AID FOR THE MINERS.
Indications That Coal Operators Will Grant
the Advance.
A CARPENTERS CONFERENCE SOON

Arrangements are being made by the
various local labor organizations to enter
tain President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor. in this city on Tues
day, April IA. On that dav the distin-
] guished labor leader will wind up tour of
the country he is now making, by address
| ing large mass meeting of workingmen,
probably in Old City Hail.: under the
| auspices of the trades unions. William A.
| Carney, one of the Vice Presidents of the
] Federation, is actively engaged making
preparations for the meeting, and he says
everything is about completed. 1t will be
one of the largest labor meetings held in this
city for years.
Mr. Gompers who is now in the West,
has been speaking to audiences ranging in
size from 1000 TO 5000 nightly and it is desired
to give him rousing reception when he
| reaches here. This will be about the last meet
! ing he will address previous to the inaugura-
ton of the miners strike, which begins on
May l, and his address here will be chiefly
directed to those interested in seeing the
miners making winning fight. On this line he
VIII have something to say about how many
men are involved in the prospective battle and
the circumstances which will surround it.
There are 100000 coal miners in the United
the competitive district-rhat is to say, Penn
sylvania, Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and West Vir-
ginia About half of these are in the United
Mine Workers.
The strike will extend only to half the'or-
ganized mon in the competitive district. The
support of the unorganiZed men is depended
on as well. The latter said to be as heartily
in favor of eight hours as any others, and il
strike takes place it will include nearly all the
coal miners in the country.
MI. Carney yesterday received a letter from
President Gompers. in which the latter said:
Il am urging the wage workers of the country
to join the organizations of their trades and
calings. am also urging all the trade organi-
cations to prepare themselves to raise all the
funds necessary TO enable the federation to
present a bold front when the miners meet the
operators l am not collecting money, but
am merely securing the promise OF financial
aid"
Mr.. Gompers has spoken IN Kansas City,
Denver and other places in the far West within
the past week. He was in San Francisco last
night. Speaking of his tour, he said: Il have
met with great enthusiasm and success where
ever nave been. sincerely trust the opera
tors will have the good sense to concede with
| out struggle, for we are prepared for a strug-
gle if it IS necessary for the achievement of
our end. 1t is especially fitting that the coal
miners should De chosen for this movement.
sympathy for miners and their healthful, con-
hnlDg work is universal. An eight-hour work
day for the coal miners means a gigantic step
in the direction of an eight-hour work day for
all workmen."

GUARDING THE RIVERS.

Only Slight Attendance at the Indignation
Meeting-StiIl, They Do a Large Amount
of Business-Plans for Fighting the
Wharf Bills.
The indignation m Getting to protest against
encroachments on the river wharVes and
against the passage of any second-class city
legislation without Allegheny City having
first been consulted, was held in Common
Council chamber last night. Commodore w.
J. kountZ was the leading hgure and the
audience consisted of voters. "A boys and
men from the Fourth ward. W. r. frice was
Secretary. w. T.. Cavitt led of with n talk on
floods from the filling up of the rivers. He
was followed by the Commodore, VINO de-
nounced Senator Flinn's wharf Dlils as danger
Gus to Allegheny citizens. He said Piftsburg
could fill in her wharves and drown Allegheny
out
Mr.. Cavett said that when Chief Bigelow was
making his wharf improvements, before ne was
stopped by the court, he had said that he would
fill out the river to the first piers OF the Union
and Suspension bridges and make straight
line from one to the other. The result of such
a displacement as this would, in time oil Hoods,
give IS instead of 30 feet IN the river.
Commodore KounlZ wanted petition di-
rected to the Allegheny Senator and Repre-
sentatives in regard to second.class leglsla-
tion. Where was the Allegheny Senator; he
wanted to know. Pittsburg's Senator was
putting in bills and stealing the wharf of
which PIttsburg was getting the benefit, ana
Allegheny was getting washed away, while
nothing was heard from the Allegheny Sem
ator. He understood Mr. Finn had seven
bills. in all of which there was snake to rob
the people. If the wharf bill was declared
constitutional he would like TO know what
would prevent the Allegheny ring from having
bill passed to build wall along the Allie
gheny wharf and rent it out to another railroad
for the benefit of few Councilmen.
On motion of w. L. Cavett committee of
five was appointed to act with the First Ward
Committee in regard to the river encroach-
ments. Those appointed were W. L. Cavett,
W. ]. Kountz, James Shipman, Thomas l. Cav
EFT and Joseph Craig.
Forms Of petitions requesting the Legislature
not to pass bills Nos. "a and IS, in regard to
wharves, were adopted and the committee in
structed to circulate them for signatures.
A petition was also adopted, addressed to the
Senator and representatives from Allegheny
City, requesting them to use their efforts in
preventing the passage of any bills governing
secord-class cities without first consulting AL
lesheny City.
The committee was authorized, upon secur-
ing the necessary signatures, to send SUBJ
committee of three to Harrisburg to lay the
petition before the Legislature.

TWO FIT. WAYNE LOVERS
And Their Peculiar Meeting at the Union
Depot YESTERDAY.


When the Atlantic Express arrived yesterday
morning among the few passengers who
alighted here was couple who seemed to be in a
great hurry to get off. The pair alighted from
different sections of the train and were ap-
parently strangers, for each went out by diff
ferentways. One wasa young woman stylishly
dressed whose bearing indicated refinement.
She was about % years of age, tall and good
looking SO far as could be discerned through
the heavy veil which partially concealed her
features. On alighting from the train she
walked into the hall of the depot and passed
swiftly through to the porch beyond.
Ihe other was man heavy set and with
coarse features, intensified by the shining black
hat which he carried jauntily on one side of his
head. diamond pin blaZed from a crimson
necktie only partly visible from out his closely
hitting black coat, which exposed to view the
ends of a pair of checked trousers and the No.
II shoes of as shady looking a colored man
ever came in on a train. Grasping couple of
gripsacks in each hand he passed out through
the exit and reached the porch. In another
moment the SOFT yielding form of the young
girl was clasped in that of the ebony-hued char
actor; his heavy lips were brought into contact
with her rosy cheek, few remarks quickly eX-
changed and the i'll assorted pair walked
quickly away and disappeared from view. All
the information that could be obtained about
either was that they came from Fort Wayne,

KLEBERs' PIANOS TAKE THE LEAD.
No One Can Compete With the KIebers

No One Can Compete With the Klebers.
Everybody knows that the Messrs. Kleber
Il Bro. sell half dozen pianos and organs
for every one sold by the other music deal
ers. The reason is simply because they keep
none but the very best instruments-none
but what they nave thoroughly tried for
more than generation, and which are fully
warranted for eight years. In no music
Store in the entire country can be found
such magnificent variety OF pianos as at
Klebers'. For instance, the great Steinway
and the famous Conoyer p1anos-the stand
ard makers of the world. Then, the won-
derful Opera pianos, whose newly invented
Angel Echo pedal, third pedal, are Great
ing quite sensation wherever they are
known. Nothing can compare With them
for richness, volume and sweetness of tone
and immense durability-e1cept the Stein
wav and the Couover. Thousands of Opera
pianos have been sold in Pittsburg and
vicinity, and all that have bought them
bring their friends to Klebers' store and
urge them to buy an Opera. The extremely
reasonable price at which they are sold, and
the easy time payments given, make the
Opera by all odds the most desirable piano
for the great mass Of the people. Klebers'
store is 5O6 Wood street.

amount of 100000 were approved. This in
cludes the price of the original electric plant,

and resolutions for electric lamps were laid
over. A petition was received from Philip
Hamburger, asking that the city supply his

in. There is no law TO prevent the city from
furnishing light to citizens, but it was deemed
inadvisable at present, and the petition was
placed on file.
