C0NKLTN Is MISSING.
The Conductor of the Freight Train No,
Heard From Since the Wreck.

The Conductor of the Freight Train Not
Heard From Since the Wreck.
Conductor o. d. Conklin, of the ill-fated
freight train, had not arrived at his home,
No. 81 Adams street, Allegheny, at late
hour last light. To DISPATCH reporter,
who called there, Mrs. ConkliD said she ex-
pected to see her husband every moment.
She was positive he was safe, because the
local officials of the Ft. Wayne road had so
assured her. She had sent her son to the
depot six or seven times but no account of
her husband had been received more than
that he was safe. She has received no
word from him.
Mrs Conklin was pale and agitated, and
denied all possibility of her husband having
been killed. When asked if she had anY
idea OF his whereabouts she answered ''no, :"
but the railroad officials did. He left home
early on Tuesday evening"
AT the Fort Wayne depot last night ey
erybody spoken to on the subject of the
wreck was silent, except the assistant chief
train dispatcher He said that Superin-
tendent Starr was on the scene
The responsibility of the wreck has not
yet been placed on anybody. He had not
heard the. statement that the freight crew
had been drinking He understood that
Conklin was safe, but could not say posi-
lively.
George Mays, brakeman of the road, who
usually made the trip on the freight which
was wrecked, was said to be on board when
the accident occurred. A call at his house
on Beaver avenue served to show that he
had taken a short vacation, O fact which
possibly saved his lite

They Quarrel at Home and Both Are Taken
to the Station House.
Mrs. Maggie McGreevy, rather respect
able looking old lady, who lives on Forbes
street near Long. and her eldest daughter
Maggie, were both prisoners at the Oakland
police station yesterday. There was pa
thetic side to the story, which made it seem
uncommon to Captain Mclaughlin and the
officers. The old lady drank a couple
of glasses of beer yesterday according to the
sergeant in charge at the station, and had
some trivial quarrel with her daughter
Maggie. She attempted to chastise the girl
by beating her, and uproar ensued. All the
neighbors gathered in front of the house
and in short while attracted the attention
of policeman.
Mother and daughter were taken to the
station where they were locked up after be-
ing fined So and costs or ten days. Mrs.
McGreevy's husband arrived in a short time
considerably under the influence of liquor.
He said he would go to friend of his and
get the necessary amount TO have his wife
and daughter released. Up to late hour
in the evening he had not come back and
the women still remained in the cell
Outside the station, weeping as though
her heart would break, was young Julia
McGreevy. the imprisoned woman's pretty
T-year-old daughter. She had made sew
eral unavailing efforts to get her mother and
sister released, and was waiting for the re-
turn to the station-house of her father. She
presented pitiful appearance giving vent
to her feelins9 She was neatly dressed and
showed every sign Of living in respectable
circumstances

PREPARING FOR INSPECTION.

Hotel Keepers Cleaning Up Before the
Arrival of the Inspectors.
A number of hotels were inspected yes
terday and some were found to be in bad
condition, as to plumbing, drainage and
ventilation. Several hotels had prepared
for the visit of the inspector bv putting a
force of men to work Gle aning out rubbish
and whitewashing cellars. At one place
the stuff taken out emitted terrific odor
and there were several wagon loads of it.
The inspector will recommend some radical
changes at a majority of the hotels.
Two reputable plumbing firms, at the re-
quest of Inspector Taggart, yesterday
visited the Third ward public school and
the Holy Ghost College. The officials of
both institutions had denied the inspectors s
report that they were in bad condition, but
the plumbers after an examination indorsed
all Taggart had said
Chief Brown is looking up the law as to
his authority to enter private residences
and inspect cellars. If he finds he has
right he will take advantage of it at once.
George Free Yesterday reduced the price
of dumping garbage on his boats to the
original figure, 25 cents and 30 cents for one
and two-horse loads respectively. The rates
had been increased when the cholera scare
came, but on complaint of the haulers Chief
Bigelow compelled reduction.

ASSOCIATIONS RIGHTS.

A Conspiracy Case Being Tried, the Result
Go-George M. Cody Sues the Allegheny
Planning Mill Association.
An important case is being tried in Con-
mon Pleas No. g. which will decide to what
length an association, formed for the mu-
tual protection of employers, can 60 in
their endeavors to protect themselves. The
case is the result of the carpenters strike
of year ago. The Allegheny Planning
Mill Association was formed for the protec-
tion OF the planning mill owners. 1t is said
that George M. Cody, who owns
q mill, had quite an exten-
sive trade among the striking
element The Allegheny Planning Mill
Association, in order to so arrange matters
that the strikers would have no source of
supply for materials, it is alleged, wrote to
the Western lumber dealers requesting
them to sell no material to anyone outside
their organ nization. As result Cody claims
he was unable to supply the demand for
lumber, having no place from which to
obtain it, and thereby lost from Sc, 900 to
$4,000.
He now brings suit against the association
for conspiracy, and the result of the courts
decision will have large bearing in defn-
ing the rights of the individual and the
power and latitude given organizations
formed for this purpose.
j.. Scott Ferguson, one of the attorneys
in the case, said: "This is ole of the most
important cases that has been on for a long
time. It comes right down to the living
issues of the day, only it is reversing mat
ters, by placing the capitalists in the place
of labor. The decision will be of much i'm
portance both to the capitalist and the Ia

hotel The company's physician called on
him, and gave him something to quiet his
nerves His neck and back pain him consid-
erably, but he is not hurt badly, and will re-
sumo his Journey to Washington this morn
ing. He was in one of the sleepers.
Mr.. Comings did q little investigating on
his own account to try to find ont what was
the cause ofthe wreck. He said last evening
that one of the freight brakemen told him
the crew had been drinking. He couldn't
remember his name, but the brakeman said
he didn't expect to make another run, and
he would have to tell the truth. Mr.. Com
ings said he saw the dead man OH the en-
gine with a cigar in his mouth, and he un-
derstood it was the fireman on the freight
He added that this fact looked to him as If
the crew had been careless.
''The wreck" continued Mr.. Comings,
twas something awful 1 would not have
believed that any force except dynamite
could have reduced cars to such small
pieces had 1 not seen it. Why, saw q
large beam that was broken off clean as if it
had only been a stick. The locomotives
were doubled up and bent like tinder. 1
couldn't sleep very well, and had gotten up
to put a wet cloth on nv head. was
hardly back in my berth when the crash
came. 1 noticed as l climbed into the
upper berth that we were running very fast.
1t didn't take me long to dress, and
was afraid another train would run into
US. 1 saw that trainman started back to
the next telegraph station and to flag other
trains
'Going to the front part of the wreck I
found it had caught fire and was burning
rapidly. 1t was dark and a young man and
L got lantern and walked over the cars.
He was more active than I and went into
one of the coaches 1 could see the two
women sitting upright, but they were dead
The sides OF their faces were turned toward
me, and by the glimmer of the lantern it
looked as if their bodies had been crushed
between the seats. A number of the men
got up on the embankment, where they
stood holding their grips and overcoats
and none of them gave any assistance
There was a call for help to push
the sleepers back from the fire,
but those of us down around the wreck had
to do the work. We uncoupled the sleepers
and pulled them away one at a time. I
could see the bodies of the dead and in
jured burning in the fire. We tried hard
to release the postal clerk who was burned
alive, but we were powerless. I am anx-
ious to know whether whisky or careless
ness is responsible for the disaster"

The Real Estate Agents Organize to Contest
the Business Tax-Attorney Ferguson
Thinks They VIII win-Reasons Given
for the Movement.
Delinquent Tax Collector Ford has served
notices on the real estate agents of the city
requesting them to pay their business taxes
for the year Immediately. to save costs 1t is
the intention of the collector in case the
amounts are not paid to enter suits against
the agents as individuals as well as against
the organization. Nearly all the real
ganized to fight the matter to a
finish. Last yesr the same matter came up
and the agents refused to pay the tax, as
they were not described in the ordinance as
taxable. They gained their point in this
issue. This year the city thought they
would be able to overcome the omission of
the description of real estate agents as tax
ables in the ordinance by describing them
as 'brokers" The agents are strenuousiy
opposed to paying the tax, not on the
ground of the technical defect of the framing
of the ordinance, but they claim the tax is
an unjust one.
David Black, member of the firm Of
Black 3 Baird, who are the prime movers
III bue uisputc Will Tue CITY, sdlu' We
have been standing this unjust taxation long
enough. Why, formerly we paid six times
as much taxes as any firm in the city with
one exception. We have organized to fight
the matter to the end and have all the
money back of us that we are likely to re-
quire. Messrs- Samuel W. Black & Co., s.
A. Dickie & Co. and our own firm COM
pose the committee who have the manage
ment of the details OF the matter"
J. Scott Ferguson, the attorney who con-
Quoted the cases for the agents last year and
will be their attorney this year, said: 81
have not looked at the matter for q year,
but remember the most important points
that were then made. Last year we won
the suit though technicality, this year we
have common sense on our side. The tax
ing of real estate agents is, to my mind, an
income tax. Why, if real estate agents
should be taxed then lawyers should be sub
iect to the same legislation. A real estate
dealer charges commission on the amount of
money passed in transaction; lawyers do
the same to certain degree. The fact that
the city has classed the agents as brokers
will not alter matters at all. We are
bound to win, for we have all the law on
our side"
Samuel W. Black is treasurer of the new
organization. 1t is proposed by the agents
to make this test case, and, if necessary, it
will be carried to the Supreme Court.

TALKS WITH PASSENGERS.

A Chicago Drummer Speaks OF the Dead
Brakeman With a Cigar in His Mouth
A Poor Postal Clerk Burned Alive.
Among the passengers in the wreck who
reached Pittsburg yesterday afternoon were
S. H. Cornings, of st. Joe, Mich; Theo-
dore Salzman, of Philadelphia, and a Chi
cago drummer, VINO requested that his
name should not be published for fear his
aged mother would see it and be shocked
into illness. The two registered at the An
derson. The Windy City man is intelli-
gent, and tells a graphic story OF the wreck.
81 have travelled he said, "for twenty
years and this is the first time 1 was in
wreck. hope L may never have such
terrible experience again. 1 was in the
last sleeper and was sound asleep when the
accident happened. Being SO far removed
did not feel the force of the blow, but it
must have been very hard. 1 know 1 was
awakened by the lurch of the train, and
then I heard the pullman conductor advis-
ing all the passengers to dress at once but
not to be alarmed. l knew what that meant
and was soon up and out The two engines,
tie coaches, express and baggage and four
freight cars were piled in a heap. The big
locomotives were interlocked as if gripping
each other like Titans in struggle
The cars were smashed into splinters. A
man must have seen the wreck to get an ad-
equate idea of the damage and the force of
the crash L could hear calls for help, but
1 ielt from the appearance of the cars that
many were dead. can't see how anybody
escaped in the two coaches. The last one
was telescoped, and the smoker was re-
duced to kinGling wood.
Going to the first car I saw a man sitting
at the window. He was fast and coulun't
get out. We broke the glass and pulled
him through the window. He was uncon-
scious, but soon recovered. He said two
women sat on the seat opposite his. We
saw one who was dead, but the other was
net in sight. 1 suppose she was buried
under the debris. The fire was
now burning lively, and we hadn't
any means OF putting it out One of the
poor postal clerks called to me that he was
held down b. the timbers, but it was impos-
sible to reach him on sccount of the flames
His shrieks were frightful to hear, and L
will never forget the terrible sight of that
man burning to death while we could only
stand by powerless and witness his torture.
L helped 10 take down the brakeman, who
was pinned against the engine. A half
smoked cigar was still between his teeth,
and at first we all thought he was alive. but
We soon found that his body was badly
crushed. The right leg had been severed. /"
