The Ihmsen Company's glass house on the
Southside was damaged BY fire last night to
the extent of $1,000 to $1,000 The fire
originated from gas explosion about 9:35.
An alarm was sent in from box 1S6, and as
soon as Chief Stewart reached the scene he
called out two additional districts. This
prompt action on his part no doubt prevent

The building that was burned contained a
12-pot furnace, two blow furnaces and a gas
producer. 1t was in the part of the build
ing where the gas producer is located that
the explosion occurred. A rumor was started
while the fire was in progress that the
service pipes leading from the gas producer
had been stopped up for two days with tar
and that the firm had been compelled to
work out the glass and close the factory down.
Superintendent Hahn denied that this
was the case. He admitted, however, that
the glass had been worked out yesterday
for the purpose of making certain improve
ments. They expected to have the work
done next week and have the factory in
operation the following week as usual The
building damaged is 1OOx100 feet. 1t is
fully covered by insurance. The fire de-

SLICED WITH A KNIFE.
A Cutting Scrape Between Two COL
ored Men That May Prove Fatal.
WILLIAM SCOTT CAN HARDLY LIVE
The Mystery Surrounding the Death OF
John Laffey Has
NEED OF A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION

William Scott, colored hodcarrier, was
stabbed fatally last evening by William
Monroe, alias Caption, also colored Scott is
at the Homeopathic Hospital and is not ex-
pected to live until morning. Both men
are married and live with their families at
No. q Crawford street, where the affray
happened. About $3.50 last evening the
two, while standing in the doorway of their
homes, got into dispute about their wives.
Some hard names were exchanged when,
it is stated, Scott struck Caption slight
blow on the nose. Upon this Caption drew
penknife from his pocket, and, before Scott
could make a movement, stabbed him in the
abdomen. He gave him a terrible cash,
cutting him almost clear across the stomach.
AS soon as he had cut Scott, Caption threw
away his knife and started down street.
Scott managed TO get into the house, and
an alarm was given. Neighbors notified
Officer Elmer. and the patrol wagon was
called and Scott taken to the Homeopathic
Hospital. The surgeons stated that his in
jury was probably fatal one, and that he
might die before morning.
In the meantime Officer Elmer started
after Caption In a short time he caught
him at Fulton and Franklin streets and
arresting him locked him up in the
Eleventh ward station. He will be held to
await the result of Scott's injury. Scott,
the injured man, is about q years of age.
Caption is % years of age.
The death of John Laffey, of No. 805
Manor street, Southside, is causing consd-
cradle talk and may turn out q murder.
Laffey was found unconscious and wrapped
in an old carpet on Second avenue, near
Brady street, last Monday morning He was
taken to the Fourteenth ward police station
and afterward, when his name was learned,
was removed to his home, where he died
late Wednesday night
Several doctors in attendance decided the
case looked much like conclusion of the
brain and not liquor. as at first supposed.
In fact, it was we'll known that Laffey drank
seldom and never to excess.
Members of the family are firm in the be-
lief that Laffey met with foul play. One
eye and parts of the face were discolored as
if from blows. The only circumstance to
indicate the mistake of such an idea is that
the dead man had no money or valuables to
attract sand-baggers. Laffey was 43 years
old and worked as puddler near Six Mile
Ferry. The Coroner will hold an inquest
tomorrow morning.

A CLUB LIKE A HOME
In Its Liquor Drinking Privileges,
According to the Members.
SURE THEY WILL WIN THE FIGHT.
Retail fealers Say They Only Demand
Equality Under the Law.
SENSATIONAL MOVES ARE PROMISED

The exclusive announcement In THE
DISPATCH that the retail liquor dealers had
organized to wage vigorous war on the
clubs of Pittsburg created somewhat of a
stir among local club men yesterday, es-
pecially those identified with the aristo-
cratic organizations Representatives of
the clubs refused the use of their names in
discussing the matter, but positive assur-
ance was given that any effort on the part of
the saloonkeepers to abolish the clubs would
be resisted to the end, because the club men
say the law protects them as it protects any
other organization.
''The respectable clubs of Pittsburg can
not be molested by the saloon keepers" a
Duquesne Club man said yesterday. They
are conducted strictly within the law, and
we have no fear of the saloon keepers troub-
ling us at least under our present laws"
s'But they threaten to go to the Legisla-
ture with their grievance, was suggested.
'Let them go where they please. The
Legislature has no more authority to say
what we shall do in our clubs than they
have to say what we shall do in our homes.
The clubs are not rightly understood, and
the impression that they are high-toned
saloons is false. Refreshments are served
only to members of the organization.
No outsider is admitted unless he
is indorsed by member, and even then he
cannot spend a cent in the clubhouse. 1
have the same right to take my friend to
drink with me as 1 have to take him to my
home for that purpose. And, concluded
the speaker, "the law must remain silent in
both cases."
The retailers are enthusiastic in their de-
termination to sweep out of existence all
the clubs, speak-easies and illegal places,
and it is intimated that their war will be
carried further than the public generally
expects.
s.All we want to do is to thoroughly test
the law on the subject" James Piatt, the
Smithield street dealer, said yesterday.
',The law that terrorizes us, especially
about License Court time, is the same law
that we now ask shall protect us" he con-
tinued. 'eWe have no fight with the clubs,
but we insist that the law we obey shall be
obeyed bv all others who deal in liquors.
Our organization means business.

A WOMAN WITH A BASKET

Attempts to Take Possession Of . Largo
Section of Horne's Store and Is Arrested
superintendent Weir Tells How Crime
Has Been Kept Down During Holiday
Time.
Annie Moen, of Fortieth street, was ar
rested at Horne's store yesterday for shop
lifting. She is rather attractive person
in appearance and we'll dressed. She car
ried a market basket. When she first en-
tere the store she went to the trimming
counter and made 1O-cent purchase, steal
ing roll of bead work ornaments worth
So Later she visited several other
counters and at each she managed to get
several articles. Special Officer Thomas
during the holiday rush, had been
watching the young woman and
as she was about to leave
the store with her booty arrested her. She
put on a bold front when accused, but began
to cry when the officers took her basket and
drew forth the stolen goods. The patrol
wagon was called and the young woman was
taken to Central station. She refused to
give any information concerning herself.
c. J. Burnett was arrested for shoplifting
at Fleishmann's store on Market street.

Burnett had pilfered goods from every
department in the building Burnett would
give no particulars about himself except that
he lived in Lawrenceville. His identity
will be investigated before his case is tried.
Superintendent Weir, in talking about
the Christmas rush last evening, said: SIT
is remarkable how few have been the cases
of shoplitting and pocket-picking in the
city in this holiday season. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that this has been the greatest
season in the history of the city, we have
not had over dozen cases of actual theft
reported to us, and in nearlv every case the
offenders have been arrested before leaving
the stores. The absence of pickpockets has
been noticeable. I don't believe there is
another city of the size of Pittsburg in the
country where the pickpocket does so little
business as here. We have not had a job
performed by professional in that line
during the holiday season.
''Of course we have had efficient
officers in citizens dress in every large store
and on every crowded thouroughfare in the
city and it would have been difficult for
thief to circulate without detection, but
taking into consideration the small area
covered by the business portion of our city
and the number of people who flock into it:
think our record is one we may feel
proud of. Professional thieves all oyer the
country know what they may expect if they
come here and so they kindly stay away.
