EXCITEMENT IN THE CITY.

Mr.. Fricl1 Says He Will Protect His Prop
erty at All Hazards.
Tie news of the riot created great excite
ment on the streets here yesterday. The diplo-
matte controversy over the Italian affair
dropped into insiSnIfcance as compared with
the bloody atfray SO near at home.
Mr. Frick was interviewed in the after
noon by DISPATCH reporter, to whom
lie said: we placed our men and prop
erty in the hands of lawful author
tiles and intend to protect them at
all hazards This is no quarrel about wages
The question IS. shall our men be shot down at
mldnlCht and our property destroyed by rioters
or Is II law to rule So far the officials have
done their duty ami | am confident that salts
factory results will be reached"
During the afternoon Mr.. Frick received 4
telegram containing detailed account OF the
attack from the time the mob congregaJed at
the Standard ovens until their blood was spilled
at Morewood.
The story to The effect that trouble was ex-
pected between the United States and the Aus
TRAN Government proved untrue. The tele-
gram which Secretary Proctor, of the United
Mine Workers. was said to have seen sent to
Max SchambeTg, the Consul here, failed to
reach that dlgnltary Mr.. Schamberg was con-
lined to his bed all day with the grip. and no
such 4 telegram was received at his office.

VOTING ONCE MORE.
Carpenters Taking 4 Second Ballot on
the Eight-Hour Question.
A SCHEME TO FORCE TIE ISSUE.
Wrought Iron Pipe Manufacturers Meet
and Reduce Prices.
MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS

Another change has taken place in the
plans of the carpenters who are preparing
for an eight-hour fight May 1. 1t was an
that it would require another vote on the
matter before a strike could be precipi-
tated. That vote is now being taken.
The Carpenters Council, with an
evident determination to have con-
stitutlonal majority this time, has
reconstructed the district so as to exclude
from the vote all unions located more than
II miles from the city. In other words, it
has drawn an imaginary circle, "a miles in
will not allow the unions outside of the cir
Gle to vote on the question. This action Will
disfranchise large portion of its member
ship, and gives promise Of creating even
greater discussions among the carpenters OF
the district than now exist. By this arrange
ment Butler, Kittanning, McKeesport and
other surrounding towns that were opposed
to the movement have been cut of, and
their membership will not have the privi-
lege of vote on the matter at all.
Determined in Their Short Hour Demands.
1t is expected by this plan to secure a
larger majority than is really necessary to
carry the matter. A member of the Carpenters
Council said last night: "We are determined
to strike if the demands for eight hours are not
granted. We have been instructed by our gen.
eral officers to make the fight for a reduction
in hours, regardless of the question of wages.
We saw very clearly that by taking in all the
councils that voted before we would not get
constitutional majority, and we had carried the
thing too tar to give up the fight now 1t may
create division in our district, but 1 am conf
dent we can win this time"
Unions No. 142, 2l1 402 and 7S voted on the
matter Wednesday evening. The union in the
West End voted 25 for the movement, and 81
tion tonight, and while 2ll gave small ma
jority for the movement, it is supposed that
go will go solidly against it now.
1t is difficult to say what will be the result
Only few locals have voted, and there Is a
slight majority recorded against the strike.
The union in the East End will vote tomorrow.
and No 5O6, located on New Grant street, will
have trial at it next Monday evening.
Don't Like the New Move.
There is considerable Indignation among
those who are opposed to pushing the eight
hour demands, at the latest move on the part
of the Carpenters Council. 1t is claimed by
them that If they exclude the outside towns
from voting on the question they should also
exclude them from membership in the Car
penters' Council. 1t is no longer a secret that
the carpenters ranks are divided and the two
factions will use their utmost endeavor to
como out ahead.
ceedings with interest. No matter which way
the present vote goes. the bosses will stick to
the position they have already taken and main
tain it if possible.

INCREASED THE DISCOUNT.
Pipe Manufacturers Outline New Policy
for the Future.

Pipe Manufacturers Outline a New Policy
for the Future.
The regular monthly meeting of the Wrought
Iron Pipe Manufacturers Association was held
in the Monongahela House yesterday. There
was good attendance of the members and the
business transacted was of an important char
acter. For the first time in many months there
was a reduction in prices, or rather an increase
in the discounts from the official lists.
The discounts that prevailed last month were:
On lap weld, black, so per cent: butt weld.
black 4715 galvanized. lap. Az; galvanized,
butt, 40; boiler tubes, so: easing. 50. Those ere
ated yesterday were: Lap weld. black. 674;
butt weld, black, 571z; galvanized lap. 55; gal
vanized, butt, so; casing, 55.
The trade was reported To be slow, which, OF
thought however. that when the spring de-
mands set in that the market will resume its
former condition. The oil country trade,
which is large factor in the industry, is ex-
pecred to be better this year than last.
The association adopted new policy. Here
tofore they set certain discount prices, which
usually applied the whole year around, whether
business good or bad. Under the rule
adopted yesterday the association Is made
more elastic and prices will be made to conform
to the condition of the market. This was re-
garded as q wiser business policy, and is ex-
pecLed to do away with much of the cutting in
prices which has been common among some of
the manufacturers during the months of Janu-
ary, February and March.

NOT HIS FAVORITE TIPPLE.
A Man Who Objected to Reaches in His
Coffee Every Day.

CoHee Livery LAY.
Matthew Coleman, of South Twenty.third

Alderman McGarey yesterday to answer
charges of felonious assault and surety OF the
peace made against him by Birdie O'Conner.
his niece The circumstances which led to this
rupture of friendly relations existing between
the two persons are quite amusing, if true.
Both live at the same house. For some time
past it has been the duty of Miss OConner
each morning to prepare Coleman's dinner tor
him before he went to work. On Tuesday he
discovered roach in the bottom of his bucket
after he had drank his coffee. Although not
taking kindly to such drinking, he did not say
anything to Miss O'Conner when he returned
home. On Wednesday he went through the
same experience, only that there were two
reaches, and he got one in his mouth. When
he went home in the evening be questioned
Miss O'Conner as to how the insects had gotten
into his bucket.
According to the story told Alderman Nc
Carey, it seems Miss O'Conner's answer was
not altogether satisfactory, and Coleman
threatened to wiring her neck" il it occurred
again. She gave reply to this threat that an
gered him still more, and he chased her around
the house few times threatening to cut her
heart out with butcher knife he held in his
hand. This little episode resulted in suit be-
ing entered, and Alderman McGarey will try to
settle the matter at hearing this evening.

A FORTUNE FROM HIS BRUSH.

How Hubert Herkomer Earned a Quarter
of a Million Dollars.
New York SUM-

the portrait painters. Hubert Herkomer
came over here for winter a few years ago
and earned between 5000, 900 and $3.50, 600
with his brush. 1t was phenomenal epi-
sode in the history of art. He charged be-
tween 81. 500 and $1,000 for portrait. He
earned the money at some expense to his
reputation, if such reputation as his can
suffer. Witness his portrait of the Hon.
Whitelaw Reid at the Lotus Club, for in

here to make money and he made it.

Miss Alice Fownes Dies While Preparing
to Attend a Wedding.
One of the saddest of the many unexpected
deaths in the East End of late, was that of
Miss Alice Fownes. the bright and lovely
daughter OF Mrs. $. A. FOwnes, of Brushton.

year, and the Circumstances surrounding her
sudden demise were such as to make the event
unusually shocking TO her many society friends
IN the two cities. The young lady had been
making loving preparations to attend an inter-
esting event in her famiy-the marriage Of her
brother Edward Fownes, to a charming Phila-
delphia lady, About one week ago she was
taken i'll with the prevailing scourge, which
kept her confined to her bed. but was DOT con-
sidered of an especially dangerous form by her
physician and friends.
Wednesday evening, just before 7 o'clock
Miss Alice asked to have brought to her the
handsome costume which she was to wear as
bridemald at her brothers marriage. The full
dress was taken to her bedside, and Miss
Fownes chatted cheerfully of the coming event.
But few minutes after without word or sign,
Alice Fownes was no more, death coming so
swiftly and silently that neither her loving
mother nor dear friends could be apprised of
the danger. Sne will be buried Saturday after
noon in The costume she intended to wear at
the wedding.
