PLUCK OF A PREACHER.

Rev. W. S. p. Cochran Prevents Pipe
Line Company From Laying a Line
Through Coraopolis-He Reads the
Riot Act to a Gang of Diggers.
Coraopolis has within her gates minister
of the gospel whom orthodox and heterodox
alike can support. His name is w. S. P.
Cochran, and he is pastor of the Presby-
terian Church. Mr.. Cochran is business
man from the ground mp.
On Thursday morning the United Pipe
Line Company people took look into
Coraopolis, and finding that the members Of
the three-cornered political organization
were grinding their knives with intent to
take each others scalps. thought it good
time to sneak a line through, without the
disagreeable necessity of Couucilmanic die
tation. AS the diggers chose the
main thoroughfare of the town, State
avenue, there was CONSERVATION when the
aluminium began to fy. One delegation
ran one way and another the other. The
Burgess had been too busy attending to pri-
vate affairs to read the law on the subject of
eminent domain, and did not know exactly
what course to take.
As the able-bodied male portion of the
town was engaged in its various avocations,
located largely in this city, and
the women had but little scalding
water on tap, the village was already bump
ing on the rocks of anarchy, and the monop-
oily laughing ha! ha! derisively and making
the dirt fly, when Rev. Mr.. Cochran ap-
peared on the scene. and, in dignifed but
firm manner, read the law on the subject,
from recollection, and at its conclusion in
formed the diggers that if they did not
desist he would make it warm for them.
The man in charge of the host, finding
that Mr.. Cochran was not only booked, but
a man Of nerve as well, concluded that it
would be well to call off his men, and he
did SO.
Some of the citizens think Mr.. Cochran
would make a good Burgess, and might, as
presiding officer, succeed in making the
company macadamize and sewer the avenue
in return for the privilege of piping oil
under it.
Burgess McCabe secured legal advice on
the matter yesterday.

laid on the fact that some owners have not
as yet complied with the law in having
them erected, and it is suggested that
member of the Board of Fire Escapes be
designated to decide on what buildings they
should be placed. 1t is also recommended
that escapes be built to the roof us an ad-
vantage to the fremen. when necessary, in
stead of using inside stairways. Employees
of buildings are recommended to use the
escapes to become familiar with them in
case of emergency. and doors opening
through division walls are recommended to
be kept closed as far as possible, and especi-
ally at night. A suggestion is also made
that legislation be enacted TO allow of the
control or government of elevators in build
ings their proper construction and so forth
for protection to life.
The report closes with the statement of
good work being done by all connected with
the bureau, with an ambition to make it
second to none in the department.
Chief Brown was asked yesterday whether,
in view of the fine buildings now up or in
course of erection, some action would not be
taken to abate the smoke nuisance resulting
from the return 10 coal. He replied: "Yes,
1 think Councils will consider the subject
shortly. 1 understand that an ordinance TO
that end is in course of preparation. Smoke

The University Building in Demand.
The demand for good downtown sites is
shown in the desire OF a number of persons
TO get possession of the old University build
ing on Diamond street. which was used for
Court House purposes while the new county
buildings were being erected. The building
has been unoccupied for several years, bur
now seems likely soon to have tenant.
During the last few weeks the County
Commissioners have received a number OF
applications from persons desiring to rent it.
None of the persons have come forward
themselves, but acted through agents. and
the purposes for which it was wanted have
not been learned. From the number of ap-
,plications it now seems to be a question OF
the highest bidder getting it.

GROWING EVERY DAY.

Greater Proportions Of the Cookers and
Miners strike-Nearly 700 Additions to
Their Ranks Yesterday-Now ut Least
13,50O Men Out.
The miners aud cokers' strike in the Con-
nellsville region is assuming still greater
proportions. Yesterday morning there oc-
CURED the startling revelations that
all the employees Of the PAUL. and
Fl. Hill works of W. J. Rainey
had dropped their tools and joined the gi-
gantic strike movement. Between 600 and
700 men are employed at these two plants,
and they have been strenuously opposed to
striking. Very little coke is being made at
either plant, though few nom -unionists are
still at work. This increases the list of
actual strikers to about 13, 500.
Superintendent Mitchell, of the company,
and Messrs. McSloy and De Haven met yes
terday, and a wordy war followed, with
charges on both sides. Mitchell accused tine
labor representatives of desiring to incite
trouble and to injure the company, while the
others charged Mitchell with attempts to in
timidate the workmen at his own plants, as
we'll as the organized men of the entire
ECSiOus InitCnCh odi0 tuclT cOmDduI wis
paying the regular wages, which was denied.
The discussion was abruptly terminated by
Mitchell stating that his company had never
signed labor contract. and, what was more,
never intended to. 1t was feared the three
men would come to blows, and bowling
mob stood behind the labor officials. Mr..
Mitchel's statements mean a fight to a
finish, as his company will now no doubt
import new men to take the places of the
strikers.
The employees of the Grace plant of the
Rainey works are still at work, though the
efforts of the men to bring them out have
not been entirely fruitless. According to
labor men at Connellsville, raid will
shortly be made on them. Special officers
at each OF the Rainey plants have been
given strict orders to arrest any labor
agitators they may see on the premises.
Last evening it was reported that a part
of the Ft. Hill men are at work.
The strikers are generally we'll fitted for a
long struggle. Some Of them have as high
as tour and even six barrels of -four and
other provisions stored away.
Robert Hogsett, operator of the Mt. Brad
dock coke works, has sent in a request to
the leaders at Connellsville to allow him to
work seven men in his mines, to obtain fuel
to fire his boilers. in order to free the works
from surplus water. This will probably be
granted.

AFTER FACTS UNDER COVER.

Chairman Baker Interviews OIL Men in the
Wildwood FieId-Favorably Impressed
With the, Burdick Bnl-Corporations
Against the Revenue Measure.
Representatives Jesse N. Baker, S. P.
Garrett, Ward Bliss and S. B. Cochrane
registered at the Dueuesne yesterday. They
were bound to Kittanning to spend Sunday
with Mr.. Cochrane..
Captain Baker is Chairman of the Com
mittee on Corporations, and as the Burdick
oil bill Is one of the most important
measures before him for his consideration,
he visited the Wildwood field under cover
in search OF information. He tramped
through the mud about Is miles interview
ing oil men, and he congratulated himself
last evening that nobody knew him, and he
had secured unbiased opinions from men on
the ground.
"I found" he said, shat few of the oil
men were posted on the features of the bill.
They complained bitterly about the price
of oil, which is so fuctuating, and
if the Legislature could fix the rate at
81 and keep it there, they would be
satisfied, but that can't be done. What
the producers want, and the point is
good one, is that when their oil has been
turned into the pipes and measured that a
certificate be issued showing how much oil
| they have, which certificate could be turned
into money; that is the producer could sell
it to whom he pleased instead of one buyer
as at present The men told me they didn't
care much about reducing the cost Of pipe
age. for when the oil is sold it is returned to
them, and they don't lose anything.
can't say what the committee will do with
the bill, but at present we are favorably
impressed. Next Thursday the opposition
will be heard"
About 25 members from West
ern Pennsylvania had returned home
last evening from Harrisburg. James
L. Graham of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, stated that great deal Of interest is
being taken in the general revenue bill
which was framed by the commission. 1t is
known as the farmers measure and the rail-
roads are very much opposed to ii, as it
shifts some of the burdens of taxation over
to the corporations. The attorneys of the
Pennsylvania. Lehigh Valley and Reading
roads will make their onslaught next Thurs
day.

We're Yesterdays Contribution to the Chap
ter of Accidents.
Two broken skulls. one so badly injured
that its owner may die, were the results of
yesterdays accidents. Careless driving
nearly caused serious termination to the
drive of two ladies in the East End.
PETRosKA-John Petroska. Pole, aged 20
years, sustained fracture of the skull at the
Edgar Thomson works yesterday by a lump of
coke falling upon his head. He lies at the
Mercy. where his chances of recovery are con-
sidered as slim.
HAIGHT-Alexander Haight fell from the
abutment OF the Thirty-third street railroad
bridge yesterday. suffering a fracture of the
skull. but not very serious one. He was re-
moved to his home on Forty-sixth street.
MRS. J. N. WILLIAMS AND DAUGHTER
Mrs. j. n. Williams and daughter, OF Penn
avenue, East End made very narrow escape
from being seriously injured yesterday after
noon. The ladies were driving up Highland
avenue, and when near Hoeveller street
Thomas Egan. who was driving horse and
buggy recklessly down the avenue, collided
with their buggy, throwing the ladies violently
TO the ground ami smashing their buggy They
escaped with slight injuries and were removed
to their home.

The Theater Ordinance Not Found to Be
Violated just Now.
In compliance with orders from Chief
Brown, Building Inspectors Hoffman and
Brown visited every theater in the city last
night to see if the law was violated in regard
to chairs in the aisles. The Chief had
received complaints against several houses,
and in his orders gave the Inspectors au-
thority in future to proceed against any
theater without notice where the law was
violated. The Inspectors visited all the
theaters aud reported last night that all
were observing the law in a manner that
left no room for complaint.
AT the Duquesne one night this week.
owing to the crowd, few chairs had been
used, but not in the aisles. As the chairs
were not fastened down they caused some
annoyance, but the matter has been arranged
to the satisfaction of all concerned. ,,.1,

The Inventor of the Natural Gas Meter
Talks on His Registering Apparatus
What Practical Tests Have Shown-Dan-
ger of Air-Mixing
G. n. Dutton, the inventor of the natural
gas meter principally in use here, was seen
yesterday afternoon in regard to the accuracy
of the meters, and whether they would reg
lister if air was pumped into the lines. Mr..
Dutton stated that he had seen thousands of
meters made and tested and put into use.
and has had hundreds of old ones returned
to be tested, and there would not be a per-
centage of one in hundred that would not
stand the test.
II am perfectly satisfied with the meter"
said he. ''and think its accuracy is unde-
niable. 1t is to my mind the most delicate
device on the market to-day, and with the
exception of apothecaries' and jewellers
scales, the best measuring in the world.
Prof S. W. Robinson, c. E., professor of
the Ohio State University at Columbus,
made 13 tests OF it. By the simultaneous
tests by the Westinghouse and Pilot tube
gauge, the measurement by meter was IL 800
cubic feet. and by gauge II, 578 cubic feet.
Under those conditions the minimum press
uTc WOuiu uc scfcu OuuCcs 70 Tie
inch and the maximum seven pounds.
THE reason why so much complaint is
made is this: On two-ounce pressure the
gas will flow out of the orifce $50 lineal
feet per second, or 5000 lineal feet per min
ute. The people don't understand the
velocity with which the gas comes out of
such small opening. If reasonable
amount of care Is taken, and the proper
saving appliances bought. there would be
no trouble. When put in my meter at
first it showed over 600 feet an hour. On
examination, found two large holes in the
burner, which, of course burned more gas
than was necessary. My bills now are just
about one-half what they would be if
burned anthracite coal.
"The idea that's air is pumped into the mains
by the gas company is an absurdity. In
the first place, consumers would very soon
discover it; and, in the second, it is a very
dangerous experiment. The air and gas
would form an explosive which would be
dangerous to life and property. 1t is the same
story with the Illuminating gas meters.
You will find lots of people who think they
are being robbed by the gas companies, but
if tested the meters are generally correct.
If the utmost care is taken there can be no
room for complaint"

PREFER A RECEIVER

To Having the Sheriff Sell Out Fuel Gas
Company.
A bill in equity was filed in the United
States Circuit Court yesterday by L. P.
Whiteman and G. NJ. Peck, of New York,
against the Fayette Fuel Gas Company. of
Uniontown. The plaintiffs state that they
have a contract with the Fuel Gas Company
for their glasshouse, at $500 per year. The
Southwest Natural Gas Company, it is as
serted, to defeat this contract have con-
spired with the directors OF the Fuel Gas
Company to sell out the latter at sheriff's
sale.
In consequence, plaintiffs ask that the
Sheriff be restrained from selling the COM
pany's property and that receiver be ap-
pointed.

SOME IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS.
Possibility of Insuring Health to Dwellers
in City Houses.

Plumbing Inspector Layton made his
annual report yesterday, iu which he asserts
that it is possible to construct plumbing and
house drainage so as to render them per-
fectly safe. The failures he places at the
doors of incompetent architects and mercen-
ary owners. He also asks that an ordinance
be enacted specifying the number of feet of
floor and air space necessary for each occu-
pant of living and sleeping rooms in tene-
ment and lodging houses.
During the year there were reported to
the bureau 254 nuisance complaints, arising
from imperfect plumbing and house drain
age. In these cases the owner or agent was
notified, giving clear statement regarding
defects and explaining how to remedy said
evils. In 95 per cent of these cases the
nuisances were abated.

WESTINGHOUSE AFFAIRS

Are Unchanged, and Await the Arrival of

There were no changes in the condition of

It is generally understood that good

That gentleman is expected to arrive to-

The remarkable growth of Pittshurg is
shown BY the table below, which gives the
total cost of ali buildings erected annually
for the past ten years. These figures show
that there has been no great jump IN any
one year-in fact, in two years, 1886 and
1856, there was a marked falling of.
Would Make a Western Boomer SICK.
Yet in 1881 the buildings erected in this
city cost but 81, l15, 2S7, while in 1890 the
aggregate was S7,O79, 567. In a city without
a boom, as the word is understood in the
breezy Wesr, that is not so bad.
