The Manufacturers of Cut Nails Challenge
the Makers of Wire Nails to Test
The Sticking Qualities in Question
Correspondence Invited.
The manufacturers OF cut nails have
issued the following challenge to the manu-
tacturers of wire nails in the United States
The contest involves the production of
5000, 900 kegs of nails year and is for
the superiority of manufactures. The
challenge reads:
In view of conflicting claims made con-
cerning the comparative merits of cut nails
and wire nails, the undersigned, manufact-
urers of cut nails, respec ctfully invite you to
be present at, and take part in, a series of
tests, to be made Mt the United States Ar
senal, Watertown, Mass, upon the Govern
ment testing machine, under the super
vision and control of the commanding ofli-
Ger of the arsenal The tests will commence
on Wednesday, the 30th day of November,
1892, at II o'clock NJ. The object of the tests
is to ascertain the comparative holding
powers of cut nails and wire nails, of equal
lengths and weights, when driven, and
in actual use, into the common building
material of the country. say spruce wood.
1t is proposed to conduct the tests by pull.
ing ten cut nails of given length and weight,
and then pulling ten wire nails of the same
length and weight, thus testing the nails in
pairs, until ,he list is exhausted.
We have selected, from the stock of bright
wire nails in the market sizes which cores
pond in length, and closely approximate in
weight. to the cut nails and we have also
selected representative barbed wire nails in
sufficient numbers to ascertain their COM
parative merits. We invite you to inspect
these selected wire and barbed wire nails,
and, if any are, for any reason, objectiona-
bic to substitute others OF the same dimen-
sions for them. We trust that you will
unite with us in so arranging or altering the
conditions of these tests that they may be
recognized as absolutely fair and authorita-
tive, in determining. beyond argument or
cavil, the relative holding power of cut and
wire nails OF equal lengths and weights.
We invite your correspondence, which ma Y
be addressed to any one of our Committee
of Arrangements Messrs. Charles l. Bailey,
of Harrisburg, Pa; Arthur b. Clarke, of
Richmond, Va. and Horace P. Tobey, of
West Wareham, Mass.

THE GIRLS MUTINIED.
Charges Made Against Employees OF
the Allegheny Library.
DISCIPLINE To BE ENFORCED.
The Salary of Mrs. Rlair, Assistant Ii
brarian, Increased
AS A REBUKE TO THE MALCONTENTS

Last nights meeting of the Public
Library Committee, of Allegheny, was
made lively by the leaking out that there
is considerable insubordination among
the female employees in the library. The
question came up when a letter was read
from Librarian Stevenson, requesting an
extra thirty days leave of absence, without
pay, owing to the continued bad condi-
tion of his health. Mr.. Steven
son stated that he had designated
Mrs. Blair. who is in charge of
the periodical department, to act in his
place during his absence. The request of
Mr.. Stevenson for the leave of absence was
granted and Mr.. Kennedy moved that his
appointment of Mrs. Blair be endorsed.
Chairman Knox said he was in doubt as
to whether Mrs Blair was the proper person
for the position, as her experience only en-
lightened her in the periodical department
Mr.. Kennedy thought that it was moth
ing more than right that Mr.. Stevenson's
suggestion be endorsed as he knew best
who could fill the place. Mr. Kennedy
further said that there was lack of har-
mony among the employees of the library,
and as far as he was concerned if he heard
any more complaints he would insist on
full investigation and wholesale discharge.
There appeared to be q condition against
Mr.. Stevenson and Mrs. Blair and
while members of the committee did
not want to engage in quarrels with women,
something would have to be done. At pres
ent the female employees disputed the au-
thority of Mrs. Blair, and they did just as
they pleased, and would come and go as
they pleased. Some of them labored under
the impression that because they had friends
on the committee they could do just as they
wanted. Mr. Kennedy said that he was
tired of this. and in the future he wanted
more harmony and less pickering.
Mr.. Einstein said that he had visited the
library on Sunday and found books scat
tered about in all directions with apparently
no one to take care of them.
The appointment of Mrs. Blair was in
dorsed and her salary increased from $40 to
SIS per month, and she was instructed to
report all breaches of discipline and enforce
obedience to the rules.
1t was also decided to close the library
between IL A. NJ. and P. NJ. on Thanks
giving Day.

CALLS IT AN OUTRAGE.

Mayor Gourley on the Capture of the Saliva
ton Army-The Soldiers Released With
out Fines-They Show Their Gratitude
to Magistrate McKenna-
Mayor Gourley yesterday denounced the
arrest Of the Salvation Army on Sunday as
an outrage. ''If the army was composed
of people of decent character which
no one denies, and which believe
to be true" said the Mayor, ''their
arrest amounts to petty persecution. If
the men who police the city would devote
their energies to arresting and
suppressing the evil doers and
the people whose influence
is bad, they would be kept so busy they
would have neither time nor inclination to
arrest those who are doing good. The Sal
vation Army is worthy institution. Like
all organizations improper persons get into
it, but believe they are in the minority.
They Nave as much right to hold meetings
on the street as political parties or the Y.
NJ c. A. have seen the street blockaded
frequently by political meetings but not
word said about it by the authorities. Last
Saturday night you could not walk up or
down Fifth avenue for hours but no one
was arrested for it. And yet on Sum-
day when three Is no business 60
ing on, no vehicle traffic and no one
inconvenienced, these good people are ar
rested for exercising their religious belief
as the law allows. A band of music par
AIDED through the East End last night, what
it represented don't know, but it was not
molested by the police. 1 think the treat
ment of tine Salvation Army was shame !"
Magistrate McKenna won the good will
of all the Salvation soldiers yesterday
morning by discharging them from custody
without fines. The hearing took place at
the Twelfth ward police station. Lieuten-
ant Gallant appeared against the soldiers,
testifying to their arrest. Adjutant Heald
made statement saying the army was
misunderstood; that it aimed to preserve
the law and save the wicked, instead of
violating laws. The adjutant's remarks
were punctuated with amens by the balance
of the army. Before their departure they
sang hymn, and each one called blessing
on the head of the white haired magistrate.
Chief Brown declares that the army will
be arrested again next Sunday ii it holds a
meeting ON the street. He was glad no
penalty had been imposed, saying he had
no desire to interfere with the army so long
as it kept moving along the street or held
its meetings elsewhere than on the public
thoroughtares.

The Democratic Finance Committee Closes
Up Its Affairs.
The Finance Committee of the Demo-
cratic County Committee met at the party
headquarters yesterday afternoon. 1t was
the last meeting the committee will hold
and nearly every district in the county was
represented. The work of the campaign
was reviewed and provision was made to
meet all the expenses incurred in the cam
paign.
Chairman Bremen, in reviewing the cam
paign in Allegheny county, said that Mr.
Sipe would be elected to Congress in the
Twenty fourth district notwithstanding that
few leading Democrats in Pittsburg we're
opposing him. 'Mr. Sipe's organization Is
complete" Mr.. Bremen said. "We
have given attention to every
detail of the fight in Allegheny
county," Mr.. Brennan went on. 1--WE
have not been chasing rainbows and we have
not been making extravagant claims We
have, of course, no hope of carrying Allie
gheny county, but l am confident we will
reduce the Republican majority to u, 600
at the outside. I think We will elect one
Senator and at least two members of the
Legislature"

MILLER In WASHINGTON.

The Attorney General Returns From In
diana Before the Election-He Didn't
Know but His Duty Might Call Him to
the Capital-Feels Certain of Indiana.
WASHINGTON, Nov. z. - Special. -
'What does he in the East, when he is
needed in the West?" was the general in
quiry to-day, when it became known that
Attorney General Miller was in the city
and that he would not go home to vote. In
view of the admitted uncertainty, even
among the most sanguine Republicans, in
regard to the result in Indiana. the pres
ence of Mr.. Miller in Washington was
truly calculated to arouse curiosity.
Had be paired, like another distinguished
Republican citizen of his State, Colonel w.
w. Dudley, who struck hands with Colonel
Dick Bright, that neither of them should go
home to vote? No. Mr. Miller informed
his friends he had not paired, though the
example of Colonel Dudley and ex-Secre-
tary Blaine would seem to have warranted
him in SO doing. With some hesitation the
ATTORNEY General then vouchsated the ex-
planation that he was fully convinced that
Indiana was safe for the Republicans, and
he thought it possible that he might be
wanted more urgently in Washington than
in Indianapolis.
There is no doubt but that the chief law
officer of the Government is here on account
of a possibility that there may be trouble
in some of the States on account of the en-
plovment of a numerous array of deputy
marshaIs whose instructions tend TO lead
them to perform service that is at variance
with the laws of the States where they are
employed. No trouble is anticipated in
New York, as the Government OF that
State has judiciousiv modified its first i'm
pressions as to the meaning and scope of
the Federal election laws, but in Alabama,
and possibly in some of the other Southern
State, there is threatening forecast of
serious conflict
Solicitor General Aldrich and Assistant
Attorney General Maury desired TO be ab-
sent for the elections, and it seemed almost
imperative that Attorney General Miller
should be on the ground to advise execu-
tive officers of the Government in case any
extraordinary action became necessary.
Mr.. Miller himself declares that he does not
believe that there will be any trouble other
than is usually attendant on the occasion of
an exciting election, but the President
thought it best that he should be on hand
for advice and to issue further instructions,
ii necessary, to inquiring officers of the law.

PREDICTIONS OF COUNTY CHAIRMEN

The ballots for to-dav's election were dis
tributed Yesterday by messengers engaged
by the County Commissioners. Of the
ballots sent out on Saturday those intended
for the Second district of Braddock town
ship were delivered to the Judge of Election
in the Second district of Braddock borough.
The ballots intended for North Versailles
township were not delivered to the Judge
of Election, as required by law, but were
left in the Office of Justice of the Peace
of that township. New ballots were sent
to the three districts, but the Commission
ers are not confident that the law has been
satisfied.
A number of members of election boards
were in the Commissioners office at differ
ent times, asking all sorts of sensible and
foolish questions All were given plain
instructions, and departed apparently
wiser.
A test was made as to the size of the bal
lot boxes, to see if they were large enough
for big districts. 1t was found that 1000
tickets only filed them three-fourths full.
This gives plenty of room, except tor the
stubs, etc, as but few districts in the
county have over 1000 voters In conse-
quence only one box was sent to each
district
Betting Men Get Warmed Up.
The betting men of Pittsburg only fairly
warmed up to the situation Yesterday and
during the day and night more money was
wagered on the Presidential contest than
during the entire campaign. The great
bulk of the money was laid even, but where
odds were given they favored Cleveland.
In one downtown saloon nearly $40, 600 were
staked last night OF this amount $500
were bet against 1920 that Cleveland will
win. Many small bets of $40 to IS were
made in favor of Cleveland.
Last nighta robust full-bearded man of
probably 60 years and wearing cheerful
smile walked leisurely into NewelPs Hotel
The place was crowded. They were poll
ticians of high and low degree. They were
talking of election bets, but little or no
money was being chanced. The Democrats
were looking tor even money. The Repub-
licans were hunting odds
I'll bet 81, 900 even that Cleveland will
be the next President" the robust, full l
bearded man said just loud enough for
everybody in the place to hear.
"I'll take that" an Allegheny saloon
keeper said, and instantly the money was
placed. The bet was not referred to again.
A Man With Great Luck.
"Thats remarkable old fellow" John
Newell said, referring to the robust full
bearded gentleman. "He's doctor aid
he lives in Parker, Pa He has bet o(n
every ele9t,iOn since FS5o sHd 1 kno'F
positively He has never lost Ian election
bet HeS has never failed in calling
the turn Oh prize fight. He is an expert
poker pla9er, and he has never been known
to shoY down but one losing hand of
poker. That hand is still painted on the
wall of the room in Parker where the game
was in progress when the hand was called.
1t was big hand at that. He is Repub-
lican, but he always bets to win"

A CONTEST PROBABLE.
Congregation of the Late Father Mollinge
Willing to Fight for the Estate.

Congregation of the Late Father Mollinger
Willing to Fight for the Estate.
The congregation of Father Mollinger,
headed by Father Duffner, have decided to
contest the rights of the Mollinger heirs
- Germany to the dead priests relics.
TDehapel and its contents are IN dispute
and will likely not be settled until after q
long legal battle. Father Duffner has
taken out an injunction and his estate,
which has been generally recorded as be-
longing to the Church OF the Holy Name, is
considered by the congregation as not per-
sonal property, and therefore exempt from
claim by the heirs. The congregation is
much stirred up over the matter, as they
fear the sacred relics of st. Anthony will
be deseorated. The chapel represents their
contributions for years, and they are ac-
cordingly 10th to give it up. The property
in dispute is valuable, and the next move is
watched with interest.

titled in New York.
Superintendent of Police O'Mara received
a telegram yesterday from Detective Nc
Tighe, who went to New York last
week on the trail of Solomon Schwarzman,
the Hebrew who swindled Max Goldburg
out of 81, 800. The detective arrested the
man at 127 Elm street. New York, on Sum
day morning at 1 o'clock. Detective Nc
Tighe was accompanied by Detective Jacobs
at the time, and Schwarzman was identified
by the New York police as fel-
low known as Greenawich, who played
similar trick there few months ago, and
for which he had been arrested in Canada.
At that time, however, the man who had
been swindled settled the matter with him
on the return of his money, and no prose-
cution took place.
This information came by letter yester-
day, and later telegram arrived saying
that Schwarzman had been identified BY
Goldburg, who had followed Detective Nc
Tlghe to New York.
Superintendent O'Mara will to-day make
out the necessary papers for requisition,
and have the prisoner brought here.

Have Not Been Misused.
A committee representing the strikers at
Beaver Falls denied last evening the report
that some of the leaders among the iron
workers in that district were receiving Q
large consideration to keep the fight on

positively assert that the statement is un-
true which says that after the strike is
ended there will be some interesting dis
closures in regard to the management of the
relief funds
The committee further asserts that none
of the leaders ever received a cent to
shorten or prolong the strike, and that the
fight will not be declared off after election.
I'm reference to the misuse of the relief
funds" said. the spokesman of the CON-
mittee, "our books are not only open to the
