Believe in and Stand By It.

Our people should believe in Hen
derson and Henderson institutions
more-believe in them to the extent
of their support and encouragement
we mean. If they would reach the
height we aspire to they must learn to
believe that Henderson merchants,
Henderson warehousemen, Henderson
mechanics, Henderson newspapers,
Henderson preachers, Henderson teach
ers, and Henderson men and women,
and our general resources and capabil-
tiles if not the best in the world, are
at least as good as any. AS long as
there is feeling that man from some
where else is greater man in his spe-
cialty than our man, just SO long will
we be left behind, and and be depen-
dent upon that other man, and that
other section.

Fire Companies Organized.

For some time the only fire company
in town has been the colored one, a
volunteer organization, who have
taken quite an active interest in their
work and always rendered good service
at fires. VIM. Merrimon is captain of
the company with a good membership.
A white company has been organized,
of which 2. 7. Jones was elected cap
tain. At a meeting held on Tuesday
night j. r. Young was elected chief.
He made short talk to them in which
many encouraging and complimentary
words were spoken, all of which were
appreciated by those to whom they were
addressed. Now let the citizen give
substantial aid and encouragement and
Henderson will have a fire department
of which it may feel proud and one that
will be worth a great deal to it.
We claim to know something about
the Coal business having had Is years
experience in that line. Let us know
what you want to burn coal in and we
can tell you what is the best and most
economical coal.

REFoRMERs WIN A VICTORY,
They Take Possession and Nominate Off
GERS ct Suggestion Meeting.

They Take Possession and Nominate OFF,
GERS ct Suggestion Meeting.
The Allegheny Reform Association won
a victory last night. They had quietly
called Republican suggestion meeting in
the Fifth ward, notifying, it is alleged,
only those in sympathy with them. over
100 persons were in attendance, but some
one had leak ed, and nearly one-third OF
them we're not in the Reform movement
A test vote showed 72 reiormers and 81
antis.
The Fifth ward is where the reformers
have a most complete organization. w. n.
Stevenson was made President and r. b.
Lea, Secretary of the meeting. The hrst
business done was the adoption of resolu-
ton declaring that no primary elections
should be held, the nominations made at
this meeting to stand as the regular nopl-
nees of the party in the ward. The noml-
nations made were: VIM. x. Gillespie,
Select Council; Benjamin F. Jennings,
Chas. V. Lewis, Thomas McHenry and
Jas. B. Dewhurst, Common Council.
C. w. Dahlinger, the representative OF
the ward on the Republican City Commit
tee, caused discussion by declaring. the
meeting was illegal and its action not bind
ing. He was talked down by George
Shiras III. and others, and the business
proceeded.
After the meeting Mr.. Dahlinger said
the officers of the Republican Executive
Committee from the ward were the only
persons authorized to call a suggestion
| meeting. They will call one, he said, after
the city committee meeting tomorrow
night, and the nominations made by it viii
be the ones voted for at the primaries ant
placed on the Republican ticket.

DROvERs WANT RIGHTS.

They Entertain a Council Committee Win
a Dinner and Get What They Want
Their Opposition to the Cattle Driving
Ordinance.
A special committee of Common Council,
to which was referred the ordinance regu-
lating the driving of cattle over the East
End streets, were the guests of $50 members
of the Pittsburg Drovers' Association at
the East End Hotel yesterday. AT re-
cent meeting of Councils Mr.. MacGonigle
opposed the ordinance, althoughit had been
under consideration for two years and
passed by Select Council. After much talk
q subcommittee consisting of Messrs. Mac
Gonigle, j. j. King, j. L. Wright, Hugh
Ferguson and William Bradley was ap,
pointed. The Drovers' Association desired
to be heard before the committee against
the bill and arranged for yesterdays meet
ing. at which they got the best OF 1t.
The original ordinance prohibited the
driving of cattle on Fifth avenue between
Penn avenrSe and Robinson street, on Gen.
ter avenue between Highland avenue and
Rebecca street. It had been prepared by
Select Councilman Baum, who lives on
Center avenue; and who said he had suffered
great loss by cattle being driven past MS
property, tramplng over MS laWn anu Euin-
ing shrubbery and flowers. That was the
general complaint of all who favored this
bill.
When the subject was taken up yesterday
Louis Brown, drover, denounced the or
dinance and Councils for passing it, saying
it was an infringement on the rights OF the
citizens Mr. MacGonigle couldn't allow
that. He explained that Councils had q
right to pass anything. though ne admitted
this ordinance was unfair and he vas OPP
posed to it. Mr.. Ferguson declared the
person who would get up such measure
rank fanatic. Councilman Baum replied
vigorously not only to Mr. Ferguson but to
the drovers. They allowed their cattle to
damage peoples proI erty he said and when
people complained, instead Of making de-
cent apology, the drovers insolently asked
what thev were going to do about it.
John Gilchrist took exception to some of
Mr. Baum's remarks and a lengthy discus
sion followed. After three hours of discus
sion the meeting adjourned with the under
standing that the drovers should pass res
olutions giving what they would consider
fair regulations which the committee will
embodJ in its report to Councils. The COM
mittee was treated to good dinner by the
droVerA.

THE POPE WARNED OFF.

Germany's Catholic Party Left Free to
Vote for the Army Bill.
BERLIN, Dec.6.-The members of the Cen
ter party in the Reichstag have held three
conferences to decide upon the course the
party would follow regarding the army bill.
1t was generally believed that split would
occur in the party over the measure, and
that "a of the Southern members would vote
with the opposition and the 76 others with
the Government At the last meeting 1t
was decided that the party would vote Tor
the first reading of the bill. The dissent
ing minority consisted only of the Southern
Ultramontanes, who WELD small influence.
Considerable importance attaches to tnls
move of the Centerists, and there is no
doubt it was due to the Vatican refusing TO
further interfere with the Centerlsts IN
their attitude toward the bill 1t was
charged that the Pope was trying to defeat
the Governments scheme in the interests OF
France, and that lie was trying to influence
the members of the Center, which is the
Catholic party in Germany, to vote against
the bill. Many of the Centerists resented
this interference, believing that it showed
that the Pope was intriguing against Ger
man unity. The Vatican needed this warn
ing, and, subsequently, the Centerists were
left free to vote as they pleased.

A COOLEY SURPRISE.
Charles David Offers Himself as the
Scapegoat, Probably,
FOR TIE WHOLE OF THE BAD GANG.
Jack Ramsey Charged With Planning the
Self sacrifice, to
KEEP ALL THE OTHERS OUT OF THE PEN
fsprcrAI rrLEeRAM TO THE DISPATCH

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
UNIoNTowN, Dec. 6-The long-expected
"Cooley court opened to-day, when Will
lam Martin, alias Shriver, alias Bill
Doctors, and wife were put on trial. Ihey
were charged with larceny and with re-
.ceiving stolen goods. The prosecutor was
Jacob Prinkey, the old mountaineer who
was robbed and beaten by the gang.
He related the story of the robbery as it
appeared in THE DISPATCH at the time,
and told how his son had shot one of the
gang, who proved to be the leader, Frank
Cooley. He identified an overcoat, rifle,
revolver and a pair of mittens that were
found in Martins house some time after
the robbery. DR.. Gribble, of Fairchance,
testified that on the morning after the
robbery Martin came to his house and took
him to a mountain resort where FRANK
Cooley was lying wounded. The Common
wealth held that these facts showed con-
clusively that Martin was with the gang
when Prinkey was robbed.
The defense then created o sensation by
calling Charles David, one of the notorious
Cooley gang, to testify in Martins behalf.
David responded, and made, what is con-
sidered by him, at least, full confession.
He coolly admitted that he was one of the
Cooley gang, and declared that he and
Frank Cooley, Montana Pete and Sam
Jones robbed old man Prinkey, and that
Martin wasn't in it. This confession
seemed to paralyze the counsel Tor the
Commonwealth.
This is generally considered o shrewd
move on the part of Jack Ramsey, who is
said to be the master of David's body and
soul, and uses the fellow as a mere tool. 1t
is a significant fact that of the four pers ons
| David duplicates in the robbery In Ques-
tion, he is the only one that can be pun
ished. Frank Cooley Is dead and Montana
| Pete and Sam Jones are both at liberty.
| Cunning Jack Ramsey Is kept out of the
scrape altogether. David believes that he
will be convicted beyond doubt, and Ram
sew seems to have induced him to save him
| (Ramsey) and Martin, if possible, by max,
| ing this confession.
J. M. Hosac delivered the address to the
| iury for the defense. w. G. Mexican spoke
| for the Commonwealth, dissecting Master
Jack Ramsey's alleged little game. The
| Commonwealth is evidently prepared tn

the Jury. In reference to Mrs Martin, th.

STILL A CRISIS IN FRANCE.

The Investigating Committee May Cause the
Dissolution of the Chamber.
PARIS, Dec. 6.-The Panama Committee
will support in the Chamber of Deputies
the Boisserin bill 1t is reported that M.
Ribot, the new Prime Minister, and M.
Bourgeois, Minister of Justice, will not
assent to granting the committee the e1-
traordinary powers involved in the bill.
If the Chamber of Deputies refuses to ac-
cept notifications in the measure, the crisis
will assume a most acute phase and 1t is
highly probable that the Chamber will be
dissolved. The ministers have agreed, re-
garding the Panama inquiry, that dis
tinct line shall be drawn between the
powers of the judiciary and the Legisla-
ture.
The Investigating Committee has deputed
NM. Rossea and Betolaud, barristers, to
examine Albert Grevv and Senator Renault
in regard to the checks received by them,
and to make report to the committee on
the extent of the culpability. If found
guilty they will be liable to removal from
the roll of barristers.

LOOKED LIKE A FIRE.
Electric Wires Crossed in the Monongahe1a
House During the Storm.

Electric Wires Crossed in the Monongahe Ella
House During the Storm.
During the heavy rainstorm last evening
some of the electric wires in the Mononga-
hela House got crossed, and for time it
looked as if the historic hotel would be
wiped out by fire. Long tongues of fame
shot up the brick walls on the out
side, and nothing could be done
until the Allegheny County Electric
Light Company turned off the current.
Fortunately the electric display was con-
fined to a wet tin roof in the rear of the
Office, and beyond burning out the fuses in
all the lights no Lamage was done. At one
stage flames burst from the chandeliers in
the lobby and burned the ceilings slightly,
but it was only Tor moment, as the fuses
soon gave away. The guests in the corridor
were frightened little, and one old man
who vas arranging to have electricity put
in his house concluded it was too dangerous.
1t was noticed also that the water dis
turbed the electric light wires along Smith
field street, near the Central Hotel About
10 o'clock when the rain was pouring down
a stream of water acted as a conductor be-
tween the trolley and electric light wires.
A line of vicious, forking flame played be-
tween the points of contact. A large crowd
was attracted by the brilliant spectacle.

WILL MOVE THE MILLS.

The Carnegie Works at Lawrenceville Are
to Be Taken to Homestead.
A member of the Citizens General Relief
COMMITTEES, of Homestead, says that 8. s.
Marvin & Co., of Pittsburg, has notified
the committee that the firm will contribute
5000 loaves of bread. =
w. Il. Mechling, superintendent Of the
1O-inch, 23-inch and 33-inch mills at the
Homestead Steel Works, has resigned, and
Reese James takes his place.
A gentleman engaged in responsible po-
sition at the steel works at Homestead says
that the Carnegie Company will remove its
Twenty and Thirty-third street mills
from Pittsburg to Homestead not later than
the first of the new year. Also that the
plans for the extensive buildings that will
be necessary are now in preparation. The
grounds which the two plants now occupy
at Lawrenceville are leased from the Schen-
lev estate at enormous figures, and it is to
reduce this expense, as we'll as in keeping
with the company's alleged future policy
of consolidating its varied industries in a
few huge plants, that the new deal is con-
templated. By the purchase of the City
Farm property here the Carnegie Company
has ample ground to accommodate the Law
renceville plants.
