Following Is a synopsis Of the Mis-
spuri w~eather-cfop bulletin for the week
ended August 81:
Warm, sunshiny days and cool nights with
heavy dews have proven most acceptable and
beneficial to plant life after the boat and need
of rnin that has prevailed during the past
month, The rainfall was insufficient, except In
= few scattering counties in the northwest and
southwest sections, and a good general
rain is badly needed, especially by the
late corn, pastures and meadows. Little
change can be noticed In the general crop
conditions. Grain is being marketed at low
prices. Late corn, Potatoes and f,uit have q
poor outlook. Flowing Is being pushed wher-
ever the condition OF the ground will permit,
and better tl,nn nm average wheat acreage IL
promised ~ the season Is favorable. Potato
bugs arc numerous ard destructive.
Twelve o'clock noon. Tuesday. Aug. 90-From
latest and best available Information on the
subject 1t is estimated that M average rainfall
of at least one. fourth pf an inch was received
over the entire state during Sunday night and
Monday forenoon, This amount, while not
sufficient for agricultural needs, will tom.
porarily rclieve the conditions which threaten
the agricultural interests.

a Man Going Into the Upper Union Mill
Is Captured by the Strikers Committee,
Taken to Headquarters and Sent on
His Way Rejoicing.
Walking slowly down Thirty-th ird street
yesterday afternoon and apparently making
an effort to keep out of sight as much as
possible was an ill-clad and hungry-looking
man. He was making for the wide open
gate which leads into the big plant of the
Carnegie Steel Company. Before he
reached the goal he was overtaken by two
members of the strikers committee.
Hearing footballs behind him, he stopped
abruptly, turned around and waited for his
pursuers to approach. Upon being ques-
toned he said he had Just come from the
office of the Carnegie Steel Company, where
he had applied for work. He exhibited
pass admitting him to the mill, but said if
he could secure employment anywhere else
he would not go into the works. The man
was escorted to the headquarters of the
striking men and given money and note
to q contractor who gave him employment.
His pass, which had been confscated, was
given to an Amalgamated man. The latter
used it to go through the mill. He was
gone probably half an hour When he

running in the upper works was the small
plate mill, the 12-inch and scrap mill The
men in the plate mill were rolling bars, on
the 12-inch 3x2 angles were being turned
out, and the scrap mill was engaged in its
usual everyday work.
Manager Dillon few DAYS ago reported
that on Friday last 175 tons had been
turned out in the mill. He said that this is
the biggest tonnage ever turned out in the
works even by the old men. The Amalga-
mated men say on Friday the tonnage on
2O-inch mill was 90, ITO pounds; 1S-inch.
SO, ,4SO; 12-inch, 1884; S-inch, 5000; old
plate mill, q, 400, and new plate mill,
60,265. These sums added together make
little over IA net tons.
The Amalgamated men further state that
they have frequently made 200 tons in less
number of hours than the non-unionists.
They also say that in "a hours they have
turned out $50 tons of finished material and
42o tons of rough and finished mixed

LANG THE NOMINEE

He Is Selected by the First Legislative
Democratic Convention.
The second meeting of the First Legisla-
tive Democratic Convention was held last
night At the preliminary gathering on
July % the members were undecided, so a
committee was selected to name candidates
and prepare a platform. 1t was to learn
the result of the committeemen's efforts
that the meeting was called last evening
There were present % of the original Sc
delegates, and James Stewart acted as
chairman.
Secretary Frank Sayre read the re-
port It recommended the nomination
of Edward G. Lang, of the Third
ward, and the adoption of the reso-
lutions already prepared by the gen.
eral committee on Monday night. Mr.
johnson moved that Mr. Lang be nom-
mated by acclamation, which was done.
Mr.. Lang addressed his followers. He said
he believed the Democrats could carry the
district if they worked together. They had
fought hard when the odds were against
them and this year when everything was
favorable victory could be gained By the
same energy.
On motion of Mr.. Coulter the resolutions
were adopted without debate and the con-
vention adjourned.
The First Legislative district is composed
of the First, Third, Fourth, Seventh,
Eighth, Twelfth and Thirteenth wards of
Allegheny, and is entitled to two repre-
sentatives.

ON A SECRET SCALE.

Efforts Of the Commercial Telegrsphers 10
Organize Just Made Known.
Arrangements to reorganize the Union OF
Commercial Telegraphers are nearly per-
fected. The work of reviving the old or
ganization, which went to pieces after the
strike of 1888, has for the past ten months
been conducted on a secret scale. AL that
remains to complete the movement is the
election of national officers, adoption of
constitution and the accomplishment OF
othsr minor routine business This will be
taken up at the National Convention to be
held in Kansas City on September 2.
During the last nine years the telegraph
ers have suffered reductions In wages with
out being able to help themselves The
average wages of an operator now is $50 a
month The amount before the strike
amounted from $65 to SO. This condition
of affairs makes the operators only too
willing to organize for their own protection.
The railroad telegraphers are organized and
have p, 900 members. 1t is understood
that when the commercial operators have
their union complete an effort will be made
to amalgamate both associations.
