WILL COMMENCE3TO-DAY.
The Tin Plate Works at Apollo to Be Put
in Operation-Counter Demands May
Be Made for a Reduction,in Glass Work
ers' Wages-Labor Notes.


P. H. Laufman Co., of Apollo, will begin
to-day to turn out tin plate at'their new
new plant. As stated in, these columns last
week the sheet mill has been running some
days, and the work of dipping will be COM
menced this morning.
The firm expects to turn. out 400 boxes a
day 14x20. The product will be confined
for the present at least TO ternej or roofing
plates. A large number of men will be en-
ployed who will receive better wages than
has ever been paid at any of the mills in
Wales and the American tinlwill be placed
on The market at less money than the i'm
ported product.
Mr. Laufman was asked yesterday if
foreign workmen would be sought, and he
replied very emphatically in the negative.
81 have a system that eNcels anything that
has ever been tried 1t is my own plan
and 1 doubt very much if the Welsh work
men could operate it any better than my
own men that L have taught. However, if
any of them were to come might try them,
as L have already done, although without
success"
By next summer Mr.. Laufman expects to
be getting material from the Black Hills
and other Western points, and it is believed
that there is enough of it out there to sup
ply the entire country, and it is believed
further that the quality of tin turned out
here will surpass that of the foreign make.
Quite a number of manufacturers and
others interested in the industry will go to
Apollo to-day and the start will be watched
with interest.

on West Jefferson street, Allegheny, at 4
o'clock yesterday morning by Superintendent
Muth and his assistant, John Glenn, charged
with cutting Lee Donley, who now lies in a

largely to blame for the trouble About IL
O'Clock on Saturday night he, in company

Two of the boys, named Morris

Donley followed them and attacked STRAIT
ton. The latter drew his penknife and cut
Donley twice in the stomach. Stratton

Superintendent George L. Mcfarland, of
the Duquesne Traction Company, sent out a
card to the papers last night regarding a
statement made yesterday morning re-
ferring to an affair that was stated to have

stopped at the crossing; there was no car in
sight on the intersecting road; and Gre

SchenIey Park a Boon That Is Thoroughly
Appreciated by Many Citizens.
Schenley Park is becoming household
word now. Everyone doesn't pronounce it
the same way. but everybody knows what
it means, and where it is, and what boon
to the housed-up and hard-working mechanic
and his better-half and little ones Mrs.
Schenley's paternal meadows are to the

Reduction Will Be Asked.

Mr.. Eberhardt Ignores the Idea That a
Reduction Will Be Asked.
The window glass workers may demand
an increase in wages this year. If they do
the manufacturers assert they will meet the
demands with a counter demand for a re-
duction. President Eberhardt, of L. A. 800,
said few days ago to DISPATCH reporter
that he took no stock in the report that the
manufacturers would ask for reduction.
"They cannot afford it," said he. "But
then all this talk amounts to nothing. 1t is
not near the time for settling the scale and
no good results from an agitation so early. 4"
1t was learned yesterday that the Scale
Committee will not do much with the ques-
tion of wages this month if anything
There are three committees, and it is
thought their first joint meeting will be
held in Atlantic City about August /. As
soon as the scale is agreed upon, the COM
mitteeS of each district will hold confer
ences with their respective manufacturers.

Little Word Altered.

Signs on a Drugstore Window That One
Little Word Altered.
A. H. Wilson, the enterprising manager
of Johnston's drugstore, is making quite a
hustle for trade. Every day some new sign
appears on his windows. On Saturday the
sign 'Cigars, Soda Water To-day" in
large white letters, appeared on each win .
the windows for Sunday, small ''No" was
prefxed to each.
A near-sighted person who had not
noticed the little word "No," started the
rumor that Johnston was selling soda water
and cigars on Sunday, which caused not
few to wend their weary way in that direc-
tion, with the hope of quenching thirst or
having smoke. All were disappointed,
though, and the thoughts of those fooled
were too deep for utterance.

Just for a Joke.

L e.,
just for Joke.

in Isabella Court, off Robinson street, ALE
ghenY, yesterday by the report that Thomas
Tatem had committed suicide in the pres
ence of his sweetheart A physician was
hurriedly sent for, and DR.. Pitcairn ar
rived on the scene. Tatem was stretched
out cd lounge and burnt hole was visible
through his coat, directly over his heart
His clothes were torn away and red-black
bruise was found on his breast, but not
drop of flowing blood, nor any bullet hole.
Tatem was stunned for minute, but was
finally brought around, when he explained
that he fired a blank cartridge from o.
caliber revolver at himself but did not
imagine the powder would have sufficient
force to hurt him. He had had lovers
quarrel with the lady to whom he is en-
gagged and attempted to frighten her Mr..
Tatem is the son of ex-Alderman Tatem and
is well known and popular in Allegheny.
For the past year he has been mail
carrier, wearing the gray for Mr.. Gilleland.
His injury is not in the least a dangerous
one.

So Far the Worlds Fair Has Not Helped
Railroads Very Much.
W. P. Cooley, General Eastern Agent of
the Chicago, ST. Paul and Kansas City road,
was at the Union depot last evening return
ing to Philadelphia. He was coming back
from visit to Chicago. Mr.. Cooley says
the Windy City is full of thousands of un-
employed men who are attracted there by
the work in connection with the World's
Fair. He remarked it was strange that
men would flock to one city when little
common sense would teach them that all
could not be provided with jobs.
Up to this time the fair has not helped
the railroads very much. They are build
ing on what the future will bring. Outside
of the regular traffic the roads have secured
the fares resulting from the influx into the
city.

the knights of Labor, has issued a special
circular to the organization, declaring off
the convention that was called some time

More Omaha Lynchers Arrested.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 12.-[Special telegram
to THE HERALD County Attorney Ma
honey has announced that he proposes to
make the most searching investigation into
Friday nights lynching and will prosecute
TO the full extent of his ability those who
participated in it. He says he will not
spare any expense to secure evidence, and
will follow the case through the police and
district courts and land those who are re-
sponsible for Smiths sudden taking off in
the penitentiary, If such thing is possible.
Right on top of this assertion came the
adding of five more names to the original
complaint this morning and before noon
"Uncle Jimmy" Carmen, the veteran
scout, General McGath and George
Greevey, a switchman, were arrested,
charged, as were the others, with murder
IN the first degree. John Hudson was ar
rested late Saturday night. charged with
vagrancy and sleeping in box car but it
is intimated that he is one Of those included
in the information against the lynchers,
and the charge of murder will he placed
against him.
Mrs Smith, wife of the mob's victim,
appeared at police headquarters this morn
ing and asked for the clothes belon ing to
her husband, that were secured by the
officers after the assault on the little Yates
girl. When Smith was arrested on the
morning after the assault he had on suit
of old clothes, and the officers found the
suit he had worn the preceding afternoon
IN trunk in his house. These clothes
answered the description of those worn by
the chlld's assailant, and they were taken
by the police to hold as evidence against
Smith when the case was called for trial
AS they will never be wanted for that pur-
pose Mrs. Smith was allowed to take them
this morning.
In this connection it may not be out of
place TO mention the stories told by three
persons who were to have been Smiths
principal witne sses had his case ever gone
TO trial. His intention was to have proven
an alibi. The wife of the dead man .tated
most positively to Jucge Hesley this NOR .
ing that at the time tue assault was com
mitted, between ? and o'clock Wednesday
afternoon, her husband was at home help
ing her to wash. Smiths mother states
with equal certainty that at that time be
was at her house asleep.
