SMALL STOCKHOLDERS MAD.

They Allege That the Profits of the Dresden
Pottery Are Absorbed in Salaries.
EAST LIVERPOOL, Dec. IA Special, T.
In Common Pleas Court at New Lisbon a
decision has just been rendered affecting
stockholders of the Dresden Pottery, of this
city. The cooperative company operating
the Dresden was organized little more
than ten years ago, with Limitation of ten
years, as is alleged 1t has been so success
full that the value of the stock has increased
more than 400 per cent Hugh McNichol
was made President at the organization of
the company, and has held the Office ever
since. Twelve of the minor stockholders
had applied for a receiver, contending that
there never had been an accounting of the
status of the concern, and when they de-
manded it some months since they were in
formed by McNicEol that there never had
been any limitation of the partnership at
the expiration of which an accounting could
be called for.
The small fry insisted that the original
records would show the contrary, and when
the records were produced, with no such
clause in them, it was alleged that they had
been tampered with in the interest of the
President and the clique of partners con-
trolled by him, among whom the immense
profits OF the concern has been swallowed
up, as the plaintiffs allege, in princely
official salaries voted themselves by the
McNichol clique. Claims aggregating $780,
900 are involved. The Court refused the
application for receiver and the plaintiffs
will Immediately appeal the case to the Su-
preme Court

FIGURING ON CLASSIFICATION.
That Point in Dispute on Some Big East
End Properties.

That Point in Dispute on Some Big East
End Properties.
Before Commissioner Beale on the tax
cases yesterday the appeal of J. B. Farmer,
on Boquet street, was considered. His
property contains a half acre in one piece
and three lots in another. He objected
solely to the classification. The three lots
he desired assessed the same as neighboring
property, as rural and not built ur.
The property OF E. M. Ferguson on
Morewood and Fifth avenues was taken up
on the question of classification. There
are acres and "a perches on Morewood
avenue, assessed at 500, 900 an acre as rural.
The Fifth avenue property fronts 800 feet
by 1877 1t was assessed at about 5000 a
foot 1t was claimed a sale of adjoining
property was made at S14O foot. Assessor
Larkin said he had been sick for three
weeks during the time the assessors were at
work on some of the Fifth avenue property,
and he could not watch their work and there
might be some discrepancies He was asked
if he was not responsible anyway, and he re-
piled that he was not obliged to be.
MI Carnahan here interposed an obiec-
tion, and the questions relative to the classi-
fcation were again taken up, but the case
was not finished.

A HERO In TROUBLE.
D. F. Brown, a JOhnstown Flood
Sufferer, in Jail for Debt.
HIS WORK AT THE STONE BRIDGE,
At This Historic Point He Eescued Eleven
Persons,
NEARLY LOSING HIS LIFE FOR OTHERS

D. f. Brown, a man who saved eleven
lives during the Johnstown food, is in jail
He must stay there for three months as he
was yesterday found guilty Of false pre-
tense.
Brown has seen more in the 25 years of
his life than most men at that age. He
was born in Johnstown and with the ex-
ception Of short time has spent all of his
life in that city. Nearly all his friends
were swept away with the breaking of the
South Fork dam. He happened to be on
one of the hills when the water came and
was one of the few men who were able to
witness that awful sight and live His old
father and mother were swept away to-
gether with many other relatives The
only one of his kin left him was q brother.
Brown stood on the end of the historic
stone bridge, where the force of the water
as it was awirled about washed away great
part of the bank. He saved II lives at that
point and nearly loet his own. While
reaching out to pull woman off piece of
wreckage the ground gave away beneath his
feet, but he reached a sale place, rescuing
the woman and saving himself.
Johnstown after the flood was to Brown
forlorn place. He tried to stay there, but
the town held so many sad recollections for
him that he dritted out into the woTld.
From then on he has wandered about. Sew
eral months ago he came to Pitts
burg. In short time he found work
in a grocery store out Butler street. Butter
and eggs soon grew distasteful, and, as he
had done score of times since 1889, he
threw up the job. He did number of
things after that, but finally work worried
him. He took up his lodging at hotel at
New Grant and Liberty street. He lived
there until he owed the house $50, and the
grew uneasy. Brown was asked
TO pay up. He said he was expecting some
money in few DAYS and would pay. The
allotted time passed by and Brown did not
settle. He was then arrested, and yester-
day the Court sentenced him three months
to Jail. Brown is handsome fellow and
we'll educated. He feels very keenly the
trouble he has gotten into When the
Johnstown food is mentioned to him it is
hard work for him to control his emotion.

ALL DEPENDS ON THE TARIFF.

The Tin Plate Manufacturers Discuss the
Ouuook-What VIII BE Done Next-The
Incoming Administration Eagerly De-
pended on for Some Action.
The tin plate manufacturers held meet
ing at the Office of John Jarrett on Fourth
avenue yesterday. Ali the officers were
present and there was good attendance of
members. The question of the tariff was
the chief topic Of discussion. Since the last
election the manufacturers of tin plate have
been very uneasy as to the course of the
incoming administration on the tariff.
The entire afternoon was spent in earnest
conference. 1t is the intention of the manu-
iacturers to go ahead in completing their
plants and firmly establishing the industry.
The Mckinley bill was the father of the tin
plate mills in the country and its threatened
repeal may greatly check the progress the
tin plate industry. Some of the members
last evening expressed themselves as still
confident that the conservative element in
the marty would prevent any consider
able change in the present tariff
laws The manufacturers yesterday
argued that the industry was firm
ly established, though they admitted
that there might be change No definite
line of action was decided upon, as it is too
soon yet since the election for the trend of
affairs to be known with any certainty, so
the afternoon was spent in generally dis
cussing the outlook
The present condition of the market is
not very brisk on account of the usual dull
period about this time each year. The
margin on these goods is so small that
should the slightest change be made it
would cause change all around.

A PRETTY WOMAN'S FEAT.

She Escapes From Union Station Window
While Hundreds Watch Her-Thomas
Donaghy's Chase After His Runaway
Wife-He Wants Her Arrested.
At o'clock last evening when hundreds
of passengers were hocking along the plat
form at Union station to outgoing and from
incoming trains, they were surprised to see
stylishly dressed and pretty young woman
climb out of window from the ladies' apart
ment in the station. She had satchel
which she first dropped to the platform
and then, gathering her skirts about her
shapely figure, drew herself up on the high
window sill. 1t required some time for her
to arrange her drapery, but finally she COM
pleted it and then poising on one hand she
vaulted to the platform as daintily as the
most accomplished danseuse.
Blushing deeply over her unavoidable
display of lingerie she stopped and seizing
her little grip darted through the curious
crowd which had stopped to witness her
performance.
Half an hour later as Station Officer
George Bert was passing through the sta
tion he was accosted by a tall, pale-faced
young man who requested his assistance.
"My wife has run away from me and
taken my money! he exclaimed, land 1
want you to arrest her She went in there,
he continued pointing to the ladies' apart
ment, 81 have been watching and she hasn't
got away"
After getting description of the woman
the officer started TO find her. She was not
in the reception room, but several ladies
had seen her going into one of the side
apartments and believed she was still there.
The officer went to the apartment 1ndi-
Gated. It was empty, but the window was
open. When the deserted husband was in
formed of the fact he nearly tainted.
Officer Bert advised him to notify the po-
lice, which he did, and the officers are now
looking for her.
1t was stated that the young man was
Thomas Donaghy, an employe of the rail-
road who lives at Walls station. He told
the officers that he had been married for
three years, his wife being Southside girl
whose parents lived on Twenty-seventii
street. Her parents were opposed to the
and had twice prevailed on her
to leave him, but recently he had persuaded
her to come back to him. Since the recon-
they have been boarding at Walls
and he had expended his means to keep her
stylishly attired Last week when he drew
his months pay he gave it to her to settle
their bills Yesterday afternoon bill was
to him for which he had given
his money to pay month ago. He quit
work and weut home to see her about it, but
she had dressed up in her white felt hat
and her nobby brown dress trimmed with
gold braid, and taking all her valuables
with her, had disappeared. He followed
her to this city, but she escaped him.
Where she has gone he is anxious to know,
tor he intends to have her arrested. A
young painter named McNeill, an acquaint-
Ance of the family,is also said to be missing.

MAY CAUSE A CONTEST.
The Rivermen Object to the Building of
Bridge at Homestead.

The Rivermen Object to the Building of a
Bridge at Homestead.
The rivermen are not pleased with the
prospect of another bridge being built
across the Monongahela river at Home
stead. The bill introduced by Congress
man John Dalzell authorizing the Union
Bridge Company to build such bridge is
causing the ill-feeling, and there is likely
to be a decided kick when the question
comes up. The first objection was made
when the bridge was about to be located at
Glenwood, the plea being that it was too
near the Twenty-eighth street bridge. The
location was changed, and now it is claimed
1T will be too near the Pittsburg, Nc
Keesport and Youghiogheny Railroad bridge
which crosses the river at the Homestead
steel works The bridge NAV be built at
Braddock, but that would not answer the
purpose intended. The Coal Exchange will
take hand, as the shipping interests of the
river are involved. A committee from the
Exchange will see that its rights are not
encroached upon.

Mystery Hangs Over the Act of Hazleton

morning that Mrs. Hugo, who kidnapped

the child.
Detectives have been working on the
case since yesterday. The kidnaper is we'll
known about Sandy Run, and this fact adds
to the mystery. One theory is that Mrs.

strongly attached to it. Her love affected
