he could do something better. He reached
the house at 10 o'clock, but his courage
failed HIM and he sat down on the front
step to think. He sat there for two hours
in the rain, and then, numb with cold, he
crept through rear window into the kitchen,
hoping at least to spend the night by the
fire and trusting that he might be able to
explain satisfactorily.
But Garbe had not retired when he en-

MINING IN MEXICO.

The Yankees Are the Only People Who
Have the Knack of Making Money.
C. Allison, of San Julian, Mexico, is
stopping at the Duquesne. He is. rep
resentative of the Cherokee and Mexican
Gold and Silver Mining Company. They
were granted concession of IL square
miles ofterritory on the Northwestern coast
by the Government. The Mexicans do not
sell their lands, but the company made a
contract with President Diaz for a right to
the minerals in the section in return for
S225, 900. The contract stipulates that one
man shall be employed every day in the
year at each mine. The company has 80
holes in the ground, and under the contract
they have that many men constantly in
their employ.
Mr.. Allison says their mines are located
115 miles from the railroad. 1t required q
caravan Of 4S0 mules to transport the ma
chinerv. He SAYS the Mexicans are doing
nothing to develop the country, which is
rich in mineral wealth. Considerable Ger
man and English capital is invested down
there, but Mr.. Allison adds that the
Yankees are the only people who have the
knack of making money. Some of them,
like Boss Sheppard, have become very
wealthy.

ANOTHER LANDMARK GONE,

Razing the Yellow House, Where WASH
ington and Lafayette Once Stopped.
One of the oldest of the coaching houses
in the neighborhood of Pittsburg is being
pulled down. It is on Penn avenue, at
Brushton, and the last house at which the
old stage coaches used to stop west of the
city line. It was known as the 'Yellow
House." and all old Pittsburgers are famil-
lar rwith it. 1t is over century old, and
men over so years old now remember it as
very old house when they were children. 1t
has been considered unsafe for some time,
and Colonel E. ]. Allen, the present owner,
is therefore having it razed.
In early days, when the house was tav-
ern, it is said that George Washington and
General Lafayette passed a night there.
There is enough stone in the old place to
build big house. The signboard that
swung IN front of this house was a quaint
affair. being nothing more than piece of
board with rude painting of bottle, COB
let, corkscrew, slice of gingerbread, etc
The site of the old house will be occupied

CAKE CLAIMS A VICTORY.

A Lengthy Meeting of L. a. 300-lnforma-
ton Hard to Get-Members Decline to
Talk-The Report Favorable to the
Secretary.
L. A. 800, K. of L., the Window Glass
Workers Association, held the largest
meeting last night that has been held for
many months. The attraction was the
prospective report of the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the case of the retir-
ing secretary, George L. Cake. Members
were present from Jeanette and other sur
rounding towns, who have not been at
meeting for months.
A lively meeting had been anticipated.
and friends and enemies of Mr.. Cake had
tried their utmost to get their forces out.
An unexpected matter was sprung on the
meeting which made the proceedings all
the more interesting. President Eberhardt
was charged with having taken Cakes part
in his domestic fight by offering Mrs Cake.
No. 1 $50 to withdraw her suit 1t is said
the offer was Indignantly rejected BY the
woman. and when it leaked out the same
people who were fighting Secretary Cake
turned against Mr. Eberhardt.
Mr.. Cak>' s resignation was accepted and
William Springer elected to fill the va
cancy temporarily for few weeks, until an
election can be held. A committee also re-
ported on the charges against Mr.. Eber-
hardt, but it is said that their report, which
was unfavorable to the President, was laid
on the table. 1t seems that Mr.. Cakes
friends were in the ma aiority, and they stuck
to Mr.. Eberhardt in his fight.
The meeting lasted until after II o'clock,
and when it did adjourn the members all
scattered and it was very difficult to secure
any definite information. Mr.. Cake said
incidentally: ''It was complete Eber-
hardt-Cake victory I don't think they
will want any more" He reiterated his
former claims that he is being prosecuted
and said it is all being done through spite
work.
The report of the committee to investi-
gate the charges against Mr. Cake was pre-
sented. Nothing could be learned as to
whether it was favorable or unfavorable to
him. One member, however, condescended
to say that an effort had been made to have
the report spread upon the minutes, but it
was defeated. President Eberhardt refused
absolutely to say a word in regard to the
rumor OF charges pending against him.

WILLIAM SMITH DEAD.

Death Removes One Of the Great Contract
ors of the War and the Founder Of the
Back Diamond Steel works-story o!
His Life.
Without word of warning William
Smith, one of the most prominent men Of
Allegheny county, dropped from his chair
dead at his home on Pacific avenue and
Harriet street yesterday morning. He had
reached the grand old age of 70. and a mans
life record was never more clean than his.
Mr.. Smith was born in Dudleyport,
England, February Is, 1919, and came
direct to Pittsburg in 1S42. He at once
went into the foundry business and for two
years operated the Carron Foundry. Later
he formed partnership with Jacob Painter
and Joseph A. jerks, under the
firm name of jerks & Painter. A
plant was then started on Main street,
Allegheny. The firm continued in business
until 1854, and during that time furnished
the South with all its finest cotton ma
chinery. In 1854 MI. Smith drew out of
the firm and started plant in the Twelfth
ward. This section was then considered an
extreme suburb of the city. 1t was SO far
out that when he went to his old partner,
Jacob Painter, for ten tons of pig iron he
was refused his usual credit, Mr.. Painter
saying, "You'n never get your money back
building away out in the woods"
James Parke, Jr., and David E. Parke,
in 1858, bought an interest in this last en-
terprise of Mr.. Smith. In 1861 Mr.. Smith,
Edwin Miles and Thomas s. Blair started
the Black Diamond Steel Works. Later
James and David Parke bought their in
terests, and until the present time operate
the plant.
When the war broke out Mr.. Smith
learned of Major Symington's endeavoring
to ship guns from the Allegheny arsenal to
Southern points He notified the Major
that if the guns were not returned the citi-
zens would mob him. The guns came back.
In 1861 he began furnishing raw material to
the Government, for which he was
paid monthly for six months.
From that time until the close of the war
he was not paid. In the meantime the
account ran up over $500,000. The banks
called him to task for trusting the Govern
mem to such an extent. His answer was,
'1f the Government goes down, I'll 60
with it, and the rest Of you will have to
follow me-" From then on the banks car
ried his paper. He made the shells which
were used in the attack on Island No. 10,
and the projectiles tor the Monitor in its
famous battle with the Merrimac. This
material was shipped on Sunday and he had
to leave church to attend to it.
At the close of the war he .started pipe
mill, and at the time of the panic of 1873
he had the largest and best equipped plant
in the world. During the crisis of 1874,
through his connection with the Cascade
Ore Company and the Escanaba Furnace
Company, he failed. Unlike the ordinary
case of bankruptcy, he paid SO cents on the
dollar, and had his assets been properly
handled, he would have paid his entire in
debtedness, with interest. This would
have still left him fortune.
For a great number of years he served in
Allegheny Councils. He was the origina-
tor of what is now known as the Allegheny
park system.

GLASS MEN IN A SNARL.

Plate Glass Men Have Lively Time at a
Secret Meeting-Somo Of the Companies
Charged With Cuttin. Prices-The
Market Very Dull.
A secret meeting of plate glass manufac-
turers was held in the city Yesterday. All
Of the leading factories were represented.
The gathering was called by Ed Ford. The
makers had q pretty stormy time, but
reached no conclusion. The trade
very dull, and all the plants with
the exception of Charleroi have
been storing their product. The Crystal
City works near St. Louis is said to have on
hand about 700, 900 feet of plate glass. This
is an enormous stock, and, with the out
look ahead not very bright, the prospect Is
anything but encouraging.
Some heavy sales, however, have been
made recently. and it was charged by the
manufacturers who didn't get slice Of the
business that somebody was cutting rates.
Every manufacturer present was willing to
show his books, and it was no bluff This
satisfied the majority, but it is still a puzzle
to them how few factories can secure the
best of the trade.
Two secret meetings have been held here
in as many weeks. One of the makers said
they had nothing to conceal, but they
wanted to avoid the jobbers who poster the
life out of them when meeting is called.
To quiet the jobbers the manufacturers
agreed at a meeting held in New York not
long ago that they wouldn't meet again for
six months But the trade got to be so bad
that it wasn't long before they came to-
gether in secret. The association is said to
be at the mercy of the jobbers who have
been holding club over the man
ufacturers for sometime. One of the
makers compared their organization
to rope of sand, and suggested
q consolidation of the leading factories as
the best way to uphold the market He
thought if the middlemen persisted in their
present course. that such o combination
would follow; and then the other fellows
can do the whistling. The jobbers organ
lied last May and agreed not to buy until
the prices were reduced The makers held
out against them until last February when
slight cut was made in prices. During
the summer the jobbers complained that the
producers were getting everything, and
they got what was left, that is nothing. The
reduction in prices hasn't helped the trade
to any great extent, and hence the quandary
of the manufacturers.
Some time ago Ed Ford thought if the
association could hold out for few months
longer, that the middlemer would be forced
to buy. He was afraid, if prices were cut
before the Worlds Fair, that after the show
there would be general collapse of bust
ness for time, and it would be impossible
to restore rates to the old basis. The devel-
opments show that it was not the combina-
tion of jobbers SO much as overproduction
that is responsible for the dullness in the
plate glass market

CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY.

Young Business Man Comes Back at an
East End Contractor and His Family.
Frank c. Reed has entered suit before AL
derman Gripp charging James Kelly, Vic
tor Kelly, Margaret Kelly and Minnie Fee,
alias Phyllis Eisman, with conspiracy. He
alleges that through a conspiracy on the
part of the four defendants, on or
about March 16, James Kelly, on behalf of
his daughter, Margaret, entered suit before
Alderman McKenna charging him with
serious offenses At the regular hearing of
the case Alderman McKenna discharged the
case, as all charges proved to be unfounded.
The defendants were arrested and gave $500
bail each for hearing next Thursday.
The case attracted quite little attention
at the time of the hearing before Alderman
McKenna on account of the high social
standing of both plaintiff and defendant.
Reed is manager of the Pittsburg Butter
Company, on Fourth street, and Kelly is
well-known contractor living in the East
End. Reed claims that the entire matter
was conspiracy to tarnish his good name
and shield another, and that he will push
the matter until justice is done.
