BATTLE AT BRADOOCK.

Tracks of the Braddock Electric Line Torn
Up by Railroad Empioyes-The Whole
Police Force Under Arrest-Attorneys
Have Bout.
Braddock was in a state of excitement
yesterday. Early in the morning the en-
ployes of the Braddock and Turtle Creek
Railway began to tear up the tracks of the
Braddock electric line on Main Street The
police ordered the men to stop the work at
once. There were several hundred men at
work and no sooner had the officers turned
their backs than they began TO work again.
The police were under the instructions of
Attorney A r. Stevenson not to permit the
tearing up of the tracks. The 1taIians perse-
yered. and soon began to press the line OF police
who, the workmen say. assaulted them. Just
then Constable William Shearer appeared on
the scene armed with warrants, and placed the
entire force of police under arrest on the charse
of assault and battery. including che august
Chief Spangler. Bail was secured in each case.
but both the Chief and Officer Howard refused
to accept it. All waived hearing tor court.
There was a great deal of ill feeling shown,
and Solicitor Stevenson, for the borough, and
Attorney Iost, fonthe railroad locked horns.
the latter going so far as to say the Borough
Solicitor was not properly attending to the
good of the people who paid him his salary.
The latter retaliated that he was not getting 10
per cent of what the other gentleman received
IN the License Court. Last evening OH GERS
Spangler and Howard appeared before the
Squire and gave bail in the sum of $500 each
for court. Contractor Rollins and four of his
toremen were arrested before. but were re-
leased. Later in the day the contractor and
his men were going on with their work, and it
is thought the matter will rest here, providing
the electric people do not enter suit for dam
ages for the tearing up of their track.

C. knights of st. George-He Claims the
Whole Procedure Was Unjust.
The suit of Richard Kuiizler, ST., against
the German r. c. Knights Of st. George, of
the Dioceses of Pitt.burg and Allegheny, is
on trial before Judge Ewing. The case is
an action for damages for having been expelled
from the order. Messrs Force and Patterson
are the counsel for the plaintiff. and Attorney
Breil for the defense. Mr.. Knitzler is a resi-
dent of the Thirty-ffth ward. In Janu ary, 1881,
when the order was started, he became q men,
Der of division No. IL He paid his dues and
assessments. he claims. up to January o5. 1883.
On that date, he asserted, he was notified of an
assessment of 81 40 and an extra assessment of
81 45. The latter was 81 10 in excess of what 1t
should have been, and he refused to pay the
excess. He rendered So 10 in payment for both
assessments. but it was refused On March .

asks So, 00O damages.
The attorneys for the plaintiff placed in evil
dence the correspondence between Rnitzler
and the officers of the order. The first letter
was the notice OF suspension. KnItzler replied
that he had been slandered in the lodge for three
long years and his suspension was Illegal If
the matter was not rectitied he would bring
suit. On March Is Knitzler was notlfied to ap.
pear before the Board of Directors on the fol-
lowing Sunday or his name would be dropped
from the roll. KDirzler replied that he consid-
cred that he had been dropped already. He
had been abused by the President in open
meeting as a bad and worthless man in his
religious beliefs, and the matter had been
spread ON the minutes of the meeting on June
j, 1885, AS to the meeting of the Board Of Di-
recrors. he would nos attend il, as it was
illegal because held on Sunday.
No testimony has been taken for the defense

right to expel Knitzler for non-payment of
dues and for conduct unbecoming member
and citizen.

NOT AT ALL WORRIED.

Rochester Tumbler Company People Feel
ing Easy About the Lippineott Failure
How a Mistake Occurred in the Names
of Two Banks at Braddock.
h. C. Fry, President OF the Rochester
Tumbler Company, in which Jesse II. Lip
pincott holds fourth interest, was in the
city yesterday. Mr.. Fry stated again that
as q result of the assignment of Mr.. Lippincott
the tumbler company would not be disturbed
any more than the dropping OF leather. "Mr.
Lippncott will come out all right, great
deal better than many people imagine"
he said. .He has been Ill, poor
fellow. for six months. and is so sick
that he can't write his name, let alone attempt
ing to attend TO business. The assignment
was made to protect himself and his family.
1t should have been done several months ago.
but Mr.. 1ippincott disliked 1t. Inc statement
made that the tumbler company had advanced
him $500. 600, the amount OF his interest, is
false. and indeed some OF the accounts in the
papers are SO mixed that wonder Row intelll-
gent men should make such plumbers In one
paper it was hard for me TO understand what
theydid mean.
'.No further legal proceedings have been
taken to-day, so far as know. Everyihing Is
in the hands of the assignee. and It will take
some time for him to prepare statement. But
nobody need be worried. MIR. Lppincott is not
bankrupt, and II he had not been Ill this move
would never have been settled"
Mr.. Fry was in consultation with gentle
man at the Seventh Avenue Hotel, but he said
If had no bearing on the Lippincott assignment.
The capital stock of the tumbler company Is
S2il ,0UO and not S4l, ,000 as reported. Mr.. Fry
wound up by saying there was no cause for
alarm. = ...
Cashier Kelly, of the Braddock National
Bank. said yesterday that Mr.. Lppincott was
never connected with that institutions; but that
he had for five years been President of the
other national bank ut Braddock, the First
National, until last January, when he was sue
ceeded by William 81. Watt.

AFRAID OF THE COST.

Stockholders In an Inclined Plane Object
ing to the Building Of New Plant
The Matter to BE Taken Into Court, IL
Pressed.
The annual meeting of the directors and
stockholders Of the Mt. Oliver Incline Plane
Company was held yesterday afternoon. The
reports Of the various officers were received
and adopted. The election for officers was
held, and, with one exception, q complete
change was made. The result was as follows:
President. d. y. Brickell; Directors, II. Sellers
Mckee. Z. p. Denniston. J. z. Staley, Murray
The old officers were: President. c. j. Schultz:
Directors, Joseph Keeling, Peter Haberman,
John T. Beach, A. l. Schultz, Joseph Keeling,
Jr. and Frederick Eampe.
One of the most important features of the
meeting was the proposition from the majority
stockholders to build comoined freight and
passenger incline TO replace the old one. and to
compete with the plane recently erected by the
Knoxville Land and Improvement Company
To accomplish this considerable expenditure
would have to be made, the estimates Of the
engineer being sll30OU, $1,000 and $50. 000 in
proportion to the extent of such proposed i'm
provement- The minority stockholders were
opposed to this scheme, and had as their repre-
sentative w. p. Schell, Jr., who made the argu-
ment against such plan. He took the ground
that TO carry out such plan the bonded in
debtedness of the company would have to be
increased. and that this could not be done. for
the reason that the legal limit to the indebted
Hess had been reached. Mr.. SchelI then offered
the following resolution in behalf Of the minor
ity stockholders:
Resolved, That the further consideration of the
expenditure of the money of the Mt. oliver In
cline Plane Company, as suggested by the Pre- ST.
dent In his report, based on the engineers esti-
mates as submitted, be postponed for six months
to enable the stockholders to intellienty investi
gate the facts and figures presented and decide
upon what course of action would best subserve
the interest of the stockholders and.
Resolved, That all calls for payment of stock be
suspended for the same time.
After an animated discussion the resolutions
were defeated. but no further action in regard
10 the proposed improvement was taken. The
matter will be taken into court if the majority
stockholders attempt to carry out the plan.

any unusual display would cause suspicion. so
instead of spending money for clothes they had
a grand time of it. buying enough candy and
ice cream to satisfy score OF little maidens.
They went to all the PLAYS and museums, took
the best seats and we're lavish in their eXpendi-
lures. Such a time two little girls never had,

tinuance of the supply.
They were frequently out at night until IL

tied liberty. The one point on which both elrls
are silent is who taught them the tricks of their
trade. Detective BeEdel is confident such lit
tie tots could not have learned these things
without a tutor. The teacher may be FOUND
The presence of modern Fagln, however, is
doubted, as the girls seem to have utilized all
the money they got in satisfying their own
desires.
"It is certainly the most remarkable case OF
its kind we ever had in Pittsburg, said In
spector McAleese yesterday. 81 could scarcely
believe that little girls like those could be SO
skilful in carrying on plckpocketlng trade,
but there is no question about their guilt They
went about their work with all the shrewdness
of old criminals"

She did not assist in the theits, though she as

their daughter would be to send her to the
Home of the Good Shepherd at Columbus,
where she will be sent at once. On this con-
sideration the police released the girl.

THE NEW JUDGES.

Public Interest Centers Now on the Prob
able Appointees - Marshall Browns
Strong Iudorsement-The Bar and Busi-
ness Men Ask His Appointment.
Now, that the judicial bill has passed for
Allegheny county there is q good deal of in
terest in the probable appointees. Some very
popular and well-esteemed men have been
named, among them, as heretofore stated, be.
ing Marshall Brown. Charles y. Fetterman, W.
ID. Porter and others. Each of these has his
friends. 1t is due to say that there seems to be
no bitterness In the contest.
One OF the strongest petitions ever sent to
Harrisburg for any candidate will be offered
the Governor by the friends of Marshall Brown,
whose candidacy is most warmly supported
irrespective of party. Over $50 active practic-
ing members of the bar, comprising lis best
known and most honored names, have signed
Mr.. Bro ~ns petition, while remarkably strong
aud earnest letters from leading business men,
firms aud corporations have been voluntarily
sent his friends for presentation on his account
to the Governor. Mayor Gourley. Treasurer
Denniston. Controller Morrow, Assessor Case
and almost all of the county officials likewise
send letters for Mr.. Brown. as well as some is
of the leading banks of the city and about as
many insurance companies.
1t Is believed that with the hearty backing
from influential men in both parties, from the
bar and all classes of business interests, at
least Mr.. Brown will be one Of the Judges,
more particularly as the friends Of the other
candidates, like the general public, are favor.
able to him also.

RESULTED SERIOUSLY.
Students of Duff's College Quarrel and
One Stabs Another.

Students of Duff's College Quarrel and
One Stabs Another.
William Fry and Emil Weefng got into
quarrel yesterday afternoon resulting in the
latter being seriously stabbed. Both boys are
students at Duff's College and are about Is
years of age. The quarrel started during
school hours. Fry claims Weeing called him
unpleasant names which he resented. They
could not settle the matter while in school and
by a sort of mutual agreement they waited till
they got out and then repaired to the alley in the
rear of the First National Bank building to
settle the dispute. A crowd of students fol-
lowed, ring was formed about the combatants
and the fight began.
After some sparring they clinched. Fry was
clearly getting the worst of the bout, when
suddenly he pulled a penknife from his pocket
and made thrust at Weeting. The blade en-
tered just under the left shoulder, making an
ugly wound. Weefng would have Jared worse
had not the blade closed on the hand of its
owner, cutting long cash in the palm. .
Just at this point Officer Ed White appeared
and arrested both boys. On arriving at Central
station Weefng's clothes were found saturated
with blood from the wound. which required i'm
mediate attention, though it is not thought TO
be dangerous. His home is in the East End.
Fry lives at SuttervIlle station. Information
has been made against him for felonious cut
ting, and he will have hearing to-day.

AGAIN USING NATURAL GAS.
Ironworkers Return to the Use of This Fuel
in Place of Coal.

Ironworkers Return to the Use of This Fuel
in Place of Coal.
The sudden drop in the temperature Of the
last two days was accompanied by the usual
decrease in the pressure of natural gas which
follows on cold weather. On this occasion the
diminution in pressure is due much TO the in
creased demand for the natural fuel by manu-
featuring concerns rather than q falling OF In
the domestic supply.
Captain Bigger, of the manufacturing sup
ply end Of the company's business. said yester.
day that some iron-making firms which before
were supplied with gas from their own wells
were contracting with the Philadelphia Com
pany. The rates charged were based on the
nature OF the finished product, and ranged
from "a 90 TO IS per ton. Also some firms
which had beon using coal had gwen up Its
use and returned once more to natural gas.
The change was made for the double reason
that the natural gas fuel was more economic
than coal and made better iron.
