WHY IT WAS LOST.
An Explanation of the Decision Bearing on
the SteeltoD Strike.

An Explanation of the Decision Bearing on
the SteeltoD Strike.
The strike at Steelton has had remarkable
effect. From 600 to 500 men will be re-
fused eInstatement by the Pennsylvania
SteeI Company, and these men are endeavor-
ing to raise enough money to get away from
the place, for many of them have not cent.
The four bands here have disorganized, for
the members are marked by the company.
When the marked men apply for reinstate-
ment they are handed time cards and dis
missed.
An official of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton Yesterday gave the following explana-
ton which led to the decision of the District
Executive Board against the presentation of
the scale ''The board is composed of
Messrs Graham, of Danville; and Roxbury,
OF Philadelphia; Riley, of Pencoyd; and
Strickland, of Steelton; with Vice President
John Gallagher, of Philadelphia, President
of the board. For the past three months
the employees of A. and p. Roberts, at PEN
coyd, have been striking to obtain recog-
milton for the Amalgamated Association.
Until yesterday the employees OF the Mon
tour Rolling Mill Company, of Danvllle, re-
fused to go to work for the same reason. The
association has paid weekly benefits to the
strikers at Pencoyd and Danville. Steelton
was more important than either of these
places, but the majority of the Executive
Board reside at or near Pencoyd, and they
had more interest in the success of the
strikers there than at Steelton, and the AS
sociation could not afford to pay strike ben
efits at both places For that reason the
Steelton strikers were sacrificed"

ONE OF ARTHURs DELEGATES
Sent Up to Jail for the Larceny of Gold
Watch.

Sent Up to Jail for the Larceny of Gold
Jefferson Davis Mays, colored, had hear
ing before Magistrate Gripp yesterday
morning for stealing SIS watch from the
home of Mrs. Wood, No. 212 Wylie avenue
He had sent the watch to Mrs. J. Lamb,
young widow typewriter at ST. Louis, but
Inspector McAleese recovered it. On see
ing the watch Mays pleaded guilty and was
committed to Jail for court in default of
81, 900 bail
The prisoner is handsome young man of
30 He is brother-in-law of James Chest
nut, Chief Clerk of the War Department at
Washington. His mother is employed in
the Treasury Department. Mays graduated
at Cookman's Institute, Florida, was once
postmaster at Beaufort, S. c., and was an
Arthur delegate from South Carolina to the
Republican Convention. He has wife at
Savannah, and lady friend, Ella Hentord,
at st. Louis, who recently pawned all her
valuables to run away with him. Mays
took the money and started off himself.
Inspector McAleese has received a circu-
from North Carolina town, requesting the
arrest of a murderer, the description of
whom fits Mays exactly. He, however,
strenuously denies that he is the man, and
declares that this is the first scrape he was
ever in. A further investigation will be
made.

The Allegheny Library Committee So Re-
ports-A Suggestion for Branches

The Allegheny Library Committee So Re-
ports-A Suggestion for Branches.
The Library Committee of Allegheny met
last night, with Mr.. Knox in the chair. An
opinion from the City Solicitor was read on
the employment of the librarian, stenog-
rapher and cataloguer. The City Solicitor
held that the librarian could be paid under
the charter ordinance and the other two
might be paid as employees. This report was
received and filed, and the present stenogra-
pher and cataloguer were reelected unani-
mously.
Chairman Knox stated that Chief Ehlers
complained to him that the library police
man had been used as a book carrier and
that was clearly not his duty Librarian
Stevenson admitted that as the officers du-
ties were not particularly heavy he had
been utilized in handling some books. The
matter was finally referred to a sub-commit-
tee A vote of thanks was rendered Mrs.
lDr: DR.: Bruce for = handsome donation of
Mr.. Kennedy stated that in view of the
large donation of books by Mr.. Phipps
no more books would be needed this year,
and he moved that no more be purchased
and the money thus saved used in establish
ing auxiliary libraries in the eastern and
western portions of the city Mr.. Ken
nedy's idea was simply to have station
where a catalogue would be found, and as
books were de- anded they could be brought
there from the main library, and those who
live far away and are unable to reach the
main library could be supplied. The matter
was referred to a subcommittee,

A WONDERFUL LOCK-PICKER.

Sidney r. Brooks in the Fourteenth Ward
Police Station He Is Charged With
Stealing Clothes-Has a Great Record
for Breaking Locks.
Sidney R. Brooks, a world-renowned lock
breaker, was arrested late Thursday night
for stealing clothes from Engineer Charles
Hood, of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Brooks denies his guilt. The clothes were
not found on him, the only evidence being
that he was in the cabin of Hoods engine a
few moments before the latter missed his
clothes.
Brooks has wonderful record for pick
ing locks. During his life he has been in
the employ of numerous safe and lock COM
panies. He also patented a fine burglar
alarm lock. In making his trips about the
country selling his invention he gave exhi-
billions of his skill, opening readily all the
various kinds of locks brought him.
Brooks is now in the Fourteenth ward po-
lice station. The police officers are
at work collecting evidence against him.
Inspector Whitehouse yesterday found
trunk check on Brooks, and afterward
located the trunk at the Baltimore and Ohio
depot. This trunk was searched and a num-
ber of keys, etc, were found in it Brooks
claims to be the agent of a safe company
and combination door lock company He
says he is no thief The prisoner exhibits
papers to prove what he claims. He will be
held until more facts can be found out about
him.
In the vicinity of Pittsburg he is well
known. During his trips he frequently Wis
ited the smaller towns in Western Penn
sylvania and captivated everybody with his
engaging manners and wonderful skill

SWEARS BY BEN.

Commissioner Raum Thinks Harrison Will
Be ominated-Discontent Dying Out
in the Western states-Opposed TO PEN
sioning the Colored People.
General Green B. Raum, Commissioner
of Pensions, registered at the Duquesne
YESTERDAY morning, and went to Washing
ton last evening. He stopped over to see bus
mess associates He said he had not known
before he read THE DISPATCH that Secre-
tarv Noble had handed his resignation to
the President He said it was the hardest
are so incongruous There is nothing in
common between the land, pension, patent
and Indian departments, and the General
added that with such a wide range of SUBJ
iects a man had his hands full.
81 still think" he said, ''that Harrison
will have a walkover for denomination
Quay has not said that he is fighting the
President, and don 'tknow anything about
the positions of other members on the COM
mittee. With men whom 1 talk the opin-
ion is general that Harrison will be indorsed
once more. He has given the people good,
clean administration, and he has shown
that he is an able man. I look forward to
1892 with great hope. The Republican
party is sure to win, at least the prospects
are bright. Out in Iowa, Kansas and Ne
braska the discomfort among the farmers is
dying out. 1t originated with poor crops,
and the people were ready to Jump on any
thing. They are beginning to see that poll
tics had nothing to do with it.
Eyes, saw a notice about the scheme to
pension the negroes of the South. 1t is a
ridiculous plan. What have they done that
the Government should take care of them?
Better pension everybody in the country
The suggestion of a preacher to buy two
States for the colored people is just as bad.
What law could be passed to compel them
to live in certain territory and to exclude
white men? Such scheme would never
work.
'It proceeds on the basis that there is dis
content between the whites and the blacks,
which is not true. No white man begrudges
success to his colored brother. 1t is a free
country, and the races have the same
chance to earn livelihood.
The general said he was working on his
annual report, which will soon be issued
During the year SIG, 6,00O,0 900 we're paid out
by Uncle Sam in pensions. This is 10,000,-
900 more than in the previous year.

DON'T BELIEVE IT'S POWDER.
East Enders Hard to Convince There Is Nc
Dynamite Among Them.

Dynam1te AMONG IHeIn
People living in the vicinity Of Stanton
avenue and Oranmore street take with a
grain of salt the statement that the magazine
there only contains few pounds of powder.
They say they never saw powder handled
SO carefully, and that their suspicious were
aroused by the extraordinary precaution of
the people who handled the stuff, and their
reticence when asked for an explanation.
A visual inspection is the only thing that
will convince them that there is nothing
more dangerous than villainous saltpeter,
and some of them are rather too nervous to
care about taking the risk of an inspection.

TRIED TO PAWN MUSIC BOXES,
And Then Made Bluff About Committins
Suicide

A well-dressed young fellow, about 81
years of age, was arrested last night by
Officer Morley in a Wylie avenue pawn
shop while trying to get money on half a
dozen music boxes, with which he was will
ing to part at any price. Sussman, the pro-
prietor, telephoned the police, when the
young man stated his errand, and he was
taken to Central station. There he feigned
drunkenness when questioned as to how he
came into possession of the articles.
From a number of papers found upon
him it was found that he was a Massachu-
sets Yankee, William Smith by name, from
North Grafton. He said he had come into
town on Sunday night ON Pennsylvania
Railroad train.
He came here to get work at whatever he
could get to do. From present indications
he will learn the art of building barrels

penders together and hung them over the

struck Lee on the head and arm.
