FULL OF GRAVE CONSEQUENCES

Will BE the Approaching Session of the
National Synod, r. p. Church.
The National Synod of the Reformed Pres
byteriar. Church, which is to commence its
work on the 9th instant in Rev. DR.. David
McAlister's. church, is probably pregnant
with more grave consequences than any
other event in the history of this denomina-
tion since 1888 Delegates composed Of
ministers and laymen of note will be pres
ent from all sections of the Union. The
bone of contention that exeites. the great in
terest is the action of the Pittsburg Presby-
terry in suspending the seven clergymen who
gave their adhesion to the 'sEast End Plat
form," and it is thought DR.. McAlis-
ter, who presided, may be asked to
answer to the charge of having
himself violated the law of the Church in
voting for the constitutional amendment.
1t is said that his infraction would not have
been noticed, as the cause for which he
voted was and is popular in the Church, had
he not taken a stand so very decided in the
case of the offenders who participated in the
East End heresy. The friends of the sus-
pended clergymen say that DR.. McAlister
had no more right to ally himself with the
Prohibition party than any member has to
cast his lot with any other political
party. Now some of the friends of the sus-
pended ministers have given their voice for
war, opposing the making Of fish of one
and flesh of another. 1t is thought the
Synod may remain in session for two
weeks.

Issuing Liquor Licenses.
Yesterday afternoon the quarter centen-
nial services of the Eighth Street Covenant
er congregation were continued. Rev. D..
McAllister conducted the exercises. Three
infants were baptized, and Rev. D. c. Mar
tin preached on '"The Palaces and Towers of
Zion." He was followed. by Rev. R. j.
George, who called the elders of the church
to the front and gave an explanation of the
terms of communion. He said that the
terms of fellowship were easy to un-
derstand, and to be good Gov
enanter there are four, things to re-
member: First to embrace the whole
of the revealed truth as given in
the Bible; second, maintaining purity of
the institutions of Christ; third, pledge of
fidelity to the covenant; fourth, the promi-
nent features are Christian character and
conduct. During the lecture the minister
took occasion to give the judges a rap for
granting licenses, and the Government for
the running of mail trains on Sunday as
against the teachings of the Bible, and that
people so employed could not BECOME good
members of the church.
The services to-day will be quite inter-
esting. At 1870 A. M. communion, con-

WILL PROTECT THE MEN.

Master Builders Seem Anxious to Get EN-
ployes to Return to work-A Practical
Pledge That Fines VIII Be Paid by EN-
pIoyes-No New Developments.
The Builders Exchange held its regular
meeting in Lafayette Hall yesterday after
noon. The first business transacted was the
reduction of the initiation fee from $50 to
SO, for the time being. Bearing on the
present building trade troubles the follow
ing resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That all employers will put all
the men to work who apply and are willing
to work nine hours a day at last years
wages.
Resolved, That the Builders Exchange
pledges itself collectively and the members
individually to support the different trades
associations in their efforts to, enforce the
working rules which their associations have
adopted.
nizing the fact that the workingman's labor
is his capital, and that it would be unreasOn-
able to exf pct him to risk his all against the
organizations with which he has been affl-
lated by breaking away from it and return
ing to work under the rules adopted by the
various masters associations without some
guarantee of protection in the future, there
fore, be it
pledge themselves to protect all worllmen
who choose to exercise their individual
rights and go to work under the rules
adopted by their employers.
Resolved further, That there shall be no
settlement of the present labor troubles
without distinct understanding that the
men who may go to work under the rules
shall not be prosecuted in any way, either
by fines Or otherwise, in their respective
unions.
Secretary Hamilton was uncertain as to
time when conference committee would be
appointed, but he thought one would be
named at the meeting next Thursday.
The Building Trades Council met last
night, but no definite action was taken
bearing on the subject. Mr.. Schwartz said
there was nothing new in the situation.
Uniontown carpenters have been notified
that unless their demands are granted with
in reasonable time all the unions con-
nected with the Trades Council will be
called out to help them through.
The Central Plumbing Company have
Withdrawn their demands for the adoption
of the new rules, and have agreed to let
their men return to work under the old
rates.

While there will be no general strike

two strugg es for the adoption of its SCALE
The hardest battle is expected to be at
Steelton, Pa, where the Pennsylvania Steel
Company has been fighting the organization
for several months The men employed by
that concern have never had a scale signed
by the firm, owing largely to the weakness
of their lodges there and the power of the
firm to hold the men without signing
Word has been received here this week show
ing what means are employed by the firm to
defeat the organization. One of the plans
said to be adopted is to have each man
employed by the firm to sign document
which reads something like this: 'I have
never belonged to any labor organization,
nor will 1 affiliate myself with any so long
as am employed by this company.
Mustn't Tell Association Officials.
If the men ask for an explanation as to
the object of the document they are told
that it is for the good of both employer and
employe, but that officials of the Amalga-
mated Association must not be informed of
the plan. AS soon as the firm learns that
man is member of the association, it is
charged, his services are dispensed with.
From Is to % men who have been dis
charged at Steelton because of their affilia-
tion with the organization have obtained
employment in Pittsburg and vicinity.
The men are organizing, and they claim
that had they gone into the association long
ago they might have escaped the present
difficulties AS it is, a strike is expected
July 1. There are four lodges at Steeiton;
one has over 300 members, another about
400 and two nearly 200 each, making
total Of about 1,4OO~ members.
This number includes about four-ffths of
the whole number of employees at that
place. They will send from IL to 15 dele
gates to the coming convention, and will be
a large factor in the adoption of scale
which they will insist on having signed
July 1, if it requires a strike to do it.
Disclaiming Strike in Advance.
If strike occurs the men declare it will
be no fault of theirs, as their claims are rea-
son ,ble and are supported by the officials of
the association. President Weihe has made
several visits to Steelton for the purpose of
adjusting the trouble, but has never been
successful The firm has simply taken a
stand against recognizing the association,
and the officials of the latter are determined
to force recognition.
The troubles at Elmira, Logan and PEN
coyd remain unsettled, and the strike at
Harrisburg is still on. The latter has lasted
for two weeks. President Weihe has been
absent from the city for several days, and
among the places where he has been are
Steelton and Harrisburg.
The Picnic Committee met yesterday at
Beaver and completed arrangements for the
reunion, which will be held on June 6.

FIFTY APPEALS TAKEN

By Attorneys for Would-Be Saloonkeepers
Who Were Knocked Out-They Claim
That With se50,OO0 Involved, They
Must Go to the Supreme Court.
The extent of judicial discretion in the
granting or refusing of license to sell liquor
by wholesale will be further tested. Yes
terday Attorneys Cohen, McKenna, Hun
ter, John Robb, Sr., and c. c. Mon
tooth, attorneys for so rejected appli-
cants, served notice on the License Court
Judges of intention to appeal, on the ground
that the court exceeded its jurisdiction and
discretion in going outside of the three pre-
scribed qualifications on the part of appli-
cants-citizenship, good moral character,
and temperate habits-and thus basing re-
fusal on grounds alleged not contemplated
BY the lawmakers.
The attorneys for the appellants hold that
the ruling in the Pollard case must hold, as,
although the Supreme Court last year sus-
tanned Judge Ewing in his claim to exer-
else the discretion claimed, that tribunal
did not file any opinion nor give any rea-
son why it deviated from the line laid down
intended that full expression
shall be gotten this time. The ground taken
is that in the absence of charges calculated
to deteriorate the three qualifications set
forth, judges cannot make inquiry that may
open the door to the Vaccinations of the
malicious.
Attorneys for appellants hope to get
their case SO framed as to be heard by the
Supreme Court for the first Monday of the
June term in Harrisburg, if the judges of
the License Court persist in keeping the
gate closed. The appellants are brewers,
bottlers and wholesalers, and represent an
invested capital of over S250,000.

DENIED THEM DRINK.
A Man Sues a Hotel Keeper for Sell
ing Him Liquor as a Person
OF KNOWN INTEMPERATE HABITS.
Two Galens of McKees Rocks Fight Over
the Right to a Pasture.
ARREST OF A MAN WHO WAS PRAYING

The very unusual case of man suing a
saloonkeeper for selling liquor to person
of 'known Incorporate habits" and that
person the prosecutor himself, will be heard
before Alderman McNeirney tomorrow
morning, with Colonel w. D. Moore present
to unfold the legal tale on behalf of the
plaintiff. This man is R. B. Peterson, who
is clerk to Councilman Hugh Ferguson, and
the Boniface against whom the allegation of
illegal sale is made, is w. W. Flocker, OF
Millvale borough.
Mr.. Peterson, like many other men, finds
saloon a very convenient place in which
to quench his thirst during these dry and
dusty days, and when in Millvale was ac-
customed to look in at Flocker's hostelry
for little liquid refreshment. He dropped
into Flocker's on the evening of
the 10th and had what he required,
and on the following day, being
again in Millevale, but this time accom-
panied by Mrs. Peterson, he once more en-
tered the hotel and called for refreshments.
Mr.. Flocker appeared in response to the
call, and thereupon hinges the present suit.
Mine host politely but firmly declined to
serve MI. ISSterSOu. MI. Ie1eioOn very
naturally wanted to know why, and
forthwith inquired of him the
thusness of the that Mr.. Flocker
looked at Mr.. Peterson, and then
glancing at Mrs. Peterson, shook his
head in manner which conveyed a sus-
picion to Mr.. Peterson that the lady by
whom he was accompanied was not Mrs.
Peterson. In fact, the story goes that Mr..
Flocker as much as told Mr. Peterson in so
many words that that was his impression.
Such suspicion very naturally made
the gentleman and his wife exceed
ingly indignant, and, since no refresh
ments were to be had, Mr.. Peterson
bottled up his wrath and withdrew, vowing
vengeance. He lost no time in calling upon
Alderman McNeirney and told that magis-
trate that he wanted to sue man under
section IL of the act of 1887, for selling to
persons of known intemperate habits. The
Squire inquired who this person was who
was of ''intemperate habits" Mr.. Peter
son replied that it was himself The
Squire was naturally astonished, and said so.
Mr.. Peterson proceeded to say that w. W..
Flocker had sold him drink on the 10th of
May; that he (Flocker) knew that he (Pet-
erson) was not q proper person, under sec
tion IL of the act, to whom he could sell
liquor, and that he (the complainant) de-
sired to enter suit against him on that ac-
count The Squire took the information
and handed Jack Rodgers, alias the Grip
per-" a warrant for Flocker's arrest.
Flocker was arrested on the 18th, and j. D.
Hughes went his bail for hearing to-mor-
row.

roughs, most Of whom were boys, were
attempting to gain admittance, without
paying, to the show, when prevented by the

stones were thrown, which injured two lads
named McCauley and Moran, but not seri-

RAIDS In THE SECOND DISTRICT.
Illegal Liquor Selling in Some Other
Parts of the City.
CRAP-sHOOTERs TAKEN INTO THE NET

Inspector Whitehouse, Captain Mercer
and Lieutenant Cramer, of the Second
police district spent last night raiding the
speak-easies in the Soho district. As re-
suit the Fourteenth ward station was over
loaded with prisoners. The raids were
made on the strength of informations
against the places charging them with being
disorderly houses
The first place visited by the officers was
the house of Mrs. Mary Manion, on Bates
street, where the proprietress aud two WIS.,
itors were slipping the cooling beverage, and
they were silently slipped into the bag.
Thomas Dickson was the next victim on the
list. He was located on Second avenue, but
at present he and his three visitors are to be
found at the Fourteenth ward station. The
beer is not with them. John Cain, whose
place is on Forbes street, was alone, but he
was given company in the wagon.
1t was Mrs. Bowden, Of Canton street,
who decided not to 60 along. When she
saw how matters stood, she filled up the
glasses for her three guests and then made
her escape through the back door while the
officers gathered her friends with their lit
tie net
1t was regular picnic party that was
broken up at the house of Anthony Bronesky,
an italian, whose place of business is at the
corner of Burlington street and Second ave-
nue.. 1t was the last place visited by the
officers, and it was fitting cap for the
climax of successful raids, as IA visitors and
the proprietor were gathered into the arms
| of the law and locked up. Magistrate Hynd-
man will sit in Judgment over the unlucky
| persons this morning, and deal out justice
as deftly as any of the proprietors can deal
out beer.
On the Southside there was also little
| line of raids. Mrs. Mary Martin
made an information yesterday before AL
derman Succop against Henry Ackerman,
of 716Shelby alley, charging him with keep
ing disorderly house. Last evening Spe-
cial Officers Carrigan and Kelly made a
raid on the house and captured the proprie-
tor and two visitors. They will have a
hearing this morning.
Ruth Ann Woodruff was committed to
jail in default of $500 bail yesterday by
Alderman Cahill, on charge of keeping a
disorderly house in Carpenters alley. She
| will be given hearing Tuesday.
The crap-shooters furnished little sport
for the police. John Brady and William
Joyce, two boys, were arrested by Officer
Hillderbeck yesterday afternoon for shoot
ing craps on Tustin street. They were
locked up in the Eleventh ward station.
