CHARGED TO STRIKES.
Wylie Avenue Failures Traced to La
Dor Difficulties and the
EVILS OF THE CREDIT SYSTEM.
Stock Assets Of Dealers Only . Fraction Of
the Liabilities.
LARGE EASTERN FIRMS WILL BE LOSERS

The labor troubles of the past six months
are held to be largely responsible for the
| recent business failures in the Wylie ave-
nue. district. Within the past week the
Sheriff has attached his bills of sale to
SIX drygoods and notion stores
in that section. Several of those failing
have branch stores in the small towns in
this vicinity, which will also 60 down in
the wreck. The general reason advanced
for the failures is that the peddlers and
small dealers supplied from the Wylie ave-
nue. stores failed to meet their obligations,
thereby preventing tho merchants from
settling with their creditors.
The whole system seems to have been one
of credit. Little capital was invested by
many of the dealers Ali depended on
their income from sales to meet their pay
ments
Each Depended on the Others.
The merchants bought on credit from
Eastern wholesalers, sold on credit to the
peddlers and small stores and they in turn
sold largely on credit to their customers
The latter are almost entirely Of the mill
working class. Homestead has always been
considered one of the best fields for the
pack peddlers' business in this Sec
tion, but any colony of foreigners
is considered good When the
income of this Glass was cut of by strikes,
etc, they failed to pay. In many cases
the peddlers had sold them a considerable
quantity of goods on time, but when they
couldn't pay there was no way to compel
them. The peddlers have nothing to real
ize on. From this the shortness Of money
isfelt by all parties. The Wylie avenue,
people all declare this the dullest season
they have experienced for many years.
Large Amount of Money Involved.
The amount involved BY the Wylie ave-
nue. failures is over 5000, 900. The first sale
by the Sheriff will take place this morning,
S. Tapolsky, of No. 49, being the victim.
The stock is not large and consists of low
priced stuff, but his liabilities amount to
nearly S25, 900. The sale of j. &
s. Friedman, of 67 Wylie avenue
was set for tomorrow, the liabilities
being estimated at S12, COO, but stay until
next Friday is expected to-day. A member
of this firm was twice arrested the other
day. charged with preparing to abscond and
with secreting goods to defraud creditors
The sale of d. Rosenthal's stock is set
to reach $125,000. His friends claim
he will secure settlement be-
fore tomorrow and avoid the sale.
There are two other firms, one on Penn
avenue, which the Sheriff has levied on,
and in which sales will take place shortly.
1t is said that all the stores contain but a
fraction of the amount of their liabilities,
and if the Sheriff's sales take place the New
York firms will be the losers.

He took for his text, the Temptation of

ways of looking at this temptation, and told
the story of Christ and the devil on the
mountain. "What a wonderful power of
resistance must Christ be possessed Of" said

CHRIST AS A TEACHER,
He Was Humble and Attracted the Multi
tude by His Simple Teachings.

AuNC W lib ltdcfnDSS.
Rev. w. II. Rodenbaugh. pastor of the
Duquesne Heights Church, preached yester-
day on How Can best Help the Church"
He took his text from Luke vii, H. After
pointing out the nature of Christ as a
teacher, the nature of His hearers and on
posers Of His teachings, he said: Christ as a
preacher grew. He used no rhetorical Ian
guage, but was plain and practical in all His
teaching. Therefore the multitude pressed
upon Him to hear the word of God. In order
30 be successful teacher one must linger
near the cross, and wait to be in
fiuenced by that life which attracted the
multitude. Christ was u teacher not
an exactor. His principle was to lead
by love. He needed no Precipitation on our
part, but He Himself became a propitiati o.
for us. The heather mother is willing to
make Precipitation for her ofTense and will
cast her child in the Ganges to appease the
wrath OF her god. We have no sacrifice to
make. Christ became a sacrifice for us. ana
when we press near to Him His touch heals
our inflrmities Christ preached gospel for
the poor. When the messengers sent by
Iohn came to Christ, He opened the eyes or
