HARDwARs MEN ORGANIZE.


An Association Formed to Discuss the
Trade and Exchange Views
The second monthly meeting Of the Asso-
citation of Hardware Jobbers, formed re-
Gently in this city, was held in the Chamber
of Commerce room yesterday afternoon.
There was a full attendance, but only
routine business was transacted.
The association was formed for the
purpose of bringing the members of the
trade into closer relations The members
meet once month to exchange views, dis
cuss condition and prospect OF business, and
to consider other matters of general inter-
est to the trade. They do not attempt to
regulate prices in any way. This is done
only by the individual firms, so it is not in
the nature of trust. The association in
cludes all the hardware jobbers in Pitts
burg, Allegheny and Wheeling, and the
permanent organization is as follows: Presi-
dent, W.. G. Reitz, of the Bindley Hard
ware Company; Vice Presidents, w. P.
Herskell, Of OFT Bros. & Co., Wheeling; j.
H. Gettleman, of Allegheny; Treasurer,
Thomas A. Park, Of Logan, Gregg & Co.
Their headquarters are at present in the
Chamber of Commerce. s..-

ANOTHER NON-UNION MILL.

Spanc, Chaifant & Co. Ignore the AmsIga-
mated Association and Start Their Plate
MnI " ith Non-Union Men as Predicted
Early in tho Fight.
The Amalgamated Association men were
treated to mild surprise at Etna yes
terday morning. Spang, Chalfant s. Co.
started their plate mill with non-union
men, as predicted in THE DISPATCH early
in the fight. During the past few weeks
various rumors concerning the mill were in
circulation, but nothing substantial could
be obtained and almost anything was ex-
pected
Several days since an attempt was made
to operate the plate depa rtment, but owing
to an insufficient number of men to manipu-
late that mill the works were allowed to re-
main idle for few davs Yesterday a full
equipment of men was present at the mill
early in the day and work was commenced.
Manager G. A Chalfant could not be
found, but another of the mill officials was
willing to talk. He said: ''Some time since
several OF the workmen sign:ied their
willingness to go to work, and asked that
they be given an opportunity. The plate
mill furnaces were lighted, but there were
not enough men present to start properly,
aud the start was DELAYED until to-day.
This morning everything was in readiness.
The men came and very successful start
was made. The workers are old employees,
and we have had no difficulty. Three heats
were made instead of four, owing to the
late start, which was at o'clock instead of
6. Everything is quiet and no difficulty
with the men is expected. The scale is not
signed, and we are greatly satisfied with the
start made to-day"
The members of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation are reticent, but special meeting
has been called for Thursday evening.
Business of Importance" is the only
feature OF the notice.

Alderman Kerr's Experience With a Young
Couple From the Country.

Alderman Kerr's Experience With Young
Couple From the Country.
Alderman Kerr had a very peculiar ex-
perience with young couple who were
very anxious to get married yesterday
afternoon. He asked them for their Names
and they were very reluctant about giving
them, but finally the young man, who ap-
peared to be about % years of age, stated
that his name was George Hatch and that
he lived in Westmoreland county. The
girl gave her name as Mamie Genowinne,
and that she lived in Butler county. She
appeared to be about Is years of age. Upon
asking to see their license they said they
had none, and insisted that they would be
married without one. Mr. Kerr sent them
to the Court House.
In short time the couple returned with
license. The Alderman examined it and
declared it was a crude forgery. The young
man denied it, and then the pair said
they would be married in Westmoreland
county.

THEIR BAIL FIXED

Judge Ewing Fixes the Amount for Bauer
and Knold.
Judge Ewing, sitting in Quarter Sessions
Court, yesterday morning fixed the amount
of bail required of Anarchists Bauer and
Knold at S., 900 each. The bail offered for
the prisoners was not accepted, however.
There was not large attendance. As soon
as court opened and before the prisoners
were brought in, Attorney Joseph Fried
man presented the petitions, which District
Attorney Burleigh handed to the Judge.
Judge Ewing at once said: 81 under
stand there is no danger of the death Of
Mr.. Frick, and the defendants are entitled
TO bail / will fix the amount at S5, 600 for
each defendant, s, 900 on the charge of be-
ing accessory and 81 900 on the charge of
conspiracy"
The court then proceeded to the consider
alton of other business. In minute or two
Bauer and Knold were brought from Jail in
company with the other prisoners and
placed in the box, where they sat for nearly
an hour.
Shortly before noon Louis Kieger, a car
penter, and Emil Boschel were presented
as bondsmen, but Judge Ewing after ex-
amining them decided that they did not
own enough property. "We propose to
have good bail in these cases." said the
Judge. sit must be of the best" Mean

SOME FUNNY INCIDENTS.

Two Non-Uniou Men Frightened Away
From the Homestead Mil Because the
Firms Physician Desires That They
Submit to Vaccination.
During the present struggle between the
Carnegie Steel Company and the locked-out
workmen, even at the most serious time
the dispute has had its ridiculous side.
Strange and funny stories directly con-
nected with the trouble have been related
every day, but probably the most laughable
circumstance occurred yesterday.
Shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon two non-union men made their way
into the Amalgamated Associations head
quarters. They were out of breath and one
was unusually pale. When questioned
they said they had just come from Home
stead. They had no fault to find with the
general treatment there, but they objected
to vaccination. They were asked to e1-
plain, whereupon the older man of the two
said: "We have been in the Homestead
works since Saturday last and we're fairly
we'll contented, but this morning there was
q change in the usual programme. A
doctor approached me and my friend and
said we would have to be vaccinated. We
refused, but the physician said it would
have to be done, but when he went
away for few minutes We made for the
gates and managed to get away. We were
willing to work and work hard, but we
didn't 60 there to let any doctor practice
any of his new ideas on us. "a
Hardly had the intended victim Of the
Homestead physician related his story
I, when one of the locked-out workmen came
in with story from the Union Mill. He
said that among the shear grinders at the
upper Union Mill was man who eight or
nine years ago run the Universal Plate
Mill, in Andrew Kloman's mill, at Supe-
rior station, but owing to ill-health aban-
doned his trade. When Manager Dillon
learned he had q roller in sight, he went to
the man and persuaded him to work.
The workman demurred, but at last con-
sented and assisted in getting out three
heats. So precious had he become that
when night arrived instead of allowing the
man to 60 home the under-bosses locked
him in the grease house and kept him all
night Yesterday morning, however, he
managed to make his escape, but in doing
so he was obliged to leave his hat and coat
behind. He scaled the fence near Thirty
fourth street and made his way to head
quarters where he told his story to the
amusement of number of the men.
At the rooms of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation on Penn avenue a member of the
Press Committee yesterday said: 81 have a
story can vouch for and it is good one.
The Carnegie Steel Company has erected
temporary bar in the Thirty-third street
mill Over this is dispensed large quanti-
ties of liquid refreshments and cigars which
are given to the men without cost The
liquid refreshments consists of beer and
whisky and the workmen are not limited in
their potations. A funny thing, however,
is that the firm have erected the bar near
the fence where one of the most strongest
rules of the company is posted. Il reads as
Company is allowed to use intoxicating
liquors during working hours Every body
that drinks at the firms bar sees the sign
and wonders"

He Insists All His Men Are on Duty-The
Soldiers Leaving.
The only excitement at Camp Sam Black
yesterday was occasioned by the leaving Of
the Sheridan troopers. To-day part Of
Battery B will go home. Colonel Hawkins
and his men across the river passed quiet
day. General Wiley said yesterday he had
no idea when the troops would leave.
The boys are all getting tired Of
camp life, but they all want to
stay it out until a finish. Captain
j. A. Loar, of Company &C." Tenth Regi-
ment, is after the person who circulated the
report that his men were deserting whole
sale. There is no truth at all in the report
The entire membership was presented at
roll call yesterday. A good many of
the boys are away on furloughs. Among
the number is Ca plain D. w. Simpson, OF
Company F, Fifth Regiment. He was
called to his home in Indiana yesterday
morning. Lieutenant McLain IS command
ing the company.

as the Carnegie firm is concerned. -Four of
our mills are in operation, and before the
week is out the balance will be in opera
tion. The mills now running are the guide,
12-inch. new plate and scrap mills, and the
12-inch mill is operated by one of the finest
crews in Allegheny county"
Yesterday afternoon arrangements were
made for the reception of more non-union
men who are expected to arrive this morn
ing. Spring mattresses were taken into the
works by the wagon load and three colored
cooks have ALREADY been installed who are
kept busy getting up lunches for the work
men. Most of these men are expected from
the Carbon Iron Works and Moorhead's
mill in Sharpsburg.

TWO MEETINGS HELD YESTERDAY.
A suitabl Place for the Southside Hospita
Cannot Be Found.

A Suitable Place for the Southside Hospital
Cannot Be Found.
The authorities of the Southside Hospital
are experiencing deal of trouble in finding
location for the proposed new building.
Two meetings were held yesterday, but no
place decided upon.
In the afternoon joint meeting of the
directors and Ladies' Aid Society was held
at the Guild Hou~H. 1t was the only sub
ject considered. Several places were pro-
posed. None seemed suitable. The lot on
the corner of Twentieth street and Merri-
man alley was considered with the most
favor, but farther than that nothing was
done.
In the evening the Board of Directors
met at the hospital. The meeting was well
attended, but futile as far as results were
concerned. Among the lots suggested were
lots on Tenth street, on Mary and Twen-
tieth, on Eighteenth, and several on the
hill. The intention is to locate as near the
present location as possible. A special
meeting of the directors will be called in a
short time to finally decide the matter, as
the case is urgent and needs attention, the
present quarters being overcrowded and
inadequate to the needs of that district.

THE SCALE TROUBLES.
Jones & LaushIins' an Honorable Firm to
Deal With.

Jones LaughIins' an Honorable Firm to
Deal With.
Before the Belleville Steel Company, of
BelleviIle, ILL.,, signed the scale on Monday
last the Amalgamated Association, in order
to arrange an amicable settlement, conceded
per cent reduction in the wage list.
Cornelius Shea, prominent worker in
Jones & Laughlins' mill, was asked last
evening why such settlement could not be
effected with the firm that employed him,
whereupon he replied:
"We have offered to adjust the difficulty
with Jones & Laughlins, and even conceded
a more substantial reduction in the old scale
than the one given to the Belleville Steel
Company. You NAV ask now why then we
have reached no agreement, which would be
no more than fair question. There is no
doubt that the firm and their men will
agree. 1t is only question of two or three
days We have an honorable firm to deal
with. The reason we give Jones & Laugh
lins a more substantial reduction than at
Belleville is that the machinery is better
and the capacity is greater. As result we
can make better wages. When Jones &
Laughlins sign the scale hope it will be
for three or five years, SO that we will be
done with these disputes. They occasion q
loss not only to the men, but to the firm. :"

General Wiley stepped forward and pre-
sented him with . knight Templar maltese

followed. The beautiful present was made

terrors for the workmen of Baltimore, many
of whom appear anxious to get work in the

four acres of people who came to hear the
silvery strains that fell as symphonies
'"sweet and dim" upon the evening air.
Along the road, opposite the stand. stood a
procession of vehicles, buggies, cars, etc. !,
nearly mile long. The concert continued
until after 10 o'clock, when the audience
returned to the city satisfied that they could
not have spent more pleasant evening.

Father and Mother Disagree and Desert
Their Little Girl.
Officer Hilderbrecht last night picked up
a 2-year-old girl on Tustin street and placed
her in the Eleventh ward station for care.
The case is sad one, inasmuch as the child
is in frightful physical condition and
was deserted by her parents. The fathers
name is John Kinney, and he resided in the
rear Of 1O2 Tustin street with his wife and
child until recently. A misunderstanding
of some kind led the mother to seek en-
ployment with a private family, and she
became domestic in the home of an East
End councilman. The husband deserted
the home and went to live with his parents,
leaving the child to shift for herself.
When examined at the station last night
the baby was found to be suffering from a
severe internal strain, making its life
almost miserable. The case will be turned
over to the Humane Society this morning.

for work A great many of them were new
men, but enough of the old employees to sat-

very little to say.
The firm is keeping complete list of all
