TO TEST THEIR LUCK.
The Charleroi Land Company to Be
Dissolved in a Novel Way.
4 LOTTERY WHEEL WILL BE USED.
Valuable Houses and Lots Will Constitute
the Prizes
UNIQUE WAY OF SETTLING TROUBLE

The Charleroi Land Company, an organ
izatioD that is responsible for the glass town
up the Monongahela, has for some time been
at war with ITSELF and to-day it will be dis
solved in strict accordance with the rules
aud practices of the Louisiana Lottery
Company.
The land company is made up of Colonel
W. H. Moore, Mcbride Sloan, NJ J. Alex
ander and James K. Clarke, of Greensburg,
Postmaster Mexican and two others of this
city. The land company was also largely
interested in the glass works at Charleroi
They also built magnificent new hotel and
in many ways evidenced marked prosperity.
About month ago speck of trouble ap-
peared on the surface OF the organization
and six members of the company combined
and purchased the interests of Colonel
Moore in the glass works and the hotel
property for $SOO,OOO An effort was made
to buy Mr.. Moore's interest in the land
company, but satisfactory price could not
be arranged. Several plans for settling the
trouble were suggested but all to no purpose.
Finally Colonel Moore suggested that they
cast lots for the possessions of the organi-
zation, and now all have agreed to his prop
osition.
A regular lottery wheel has been made
OF glass. All the property of the concern
has been arranged and numbered. With
each number which will represent lot, or
house and lot, blank will be put in the
wheel and each of the seven members of the
firm will take regular turns at drawing un-
til the wheel is emptied.
The value of the property to be disposed
of in this novel way is fixed at about
$500, 900. 1t consists of about 115 brick
and frame houses and nearly 1U0 vacant
lots All the members of the firm are
fairly well off financially, and the drawing
to-day will be only test of the luck of
each of them.
Alex Weimer, who will represent
Colonel Moore at the drawing to-day, was
in Pittsburg last night on his way to
Charleroi. Mr.. Weimer said the PROPOSE
tion to resort to the lottery scheme was
forced upon the land company by Colonel
Moore, as he is willing to pit his luck
against the luck of any number of men pro-
yided all are compelled to stand on the
same footing on the go in. Mr.. Weimer
said the drawing will take place at noon,
and with the exception of Colonel Moore,
all the members of the company will attend
and act personally for themselves.

DON'T LIKE PITTSBURG POLITICS.

The Allegheny Democratic Committee Will
Name the MayoraIty Candidate.
Little interest was taken in the meeting
Of the Allegheny Democratic Committee
last night, and the attendance was small.
George A. hoehler presided. There was
disposition to name Alexander Wilson for
Mayor there and then, but few were op-
posed to it on the ground that it would be
too summary.
John Sullivan headed the opposition.
He said the Democratic party should not
show its hand until after the Republican
primaries He was against a nomination
by the City Committee because it looked
too much like Pittsburg politics. The
powers that be had no right to abuse their
power and force the party to support candi-
dates not to their liking.
Ted Dillon provoked laugh by asking:
rs that a speech for the reformers? We
don't want any of that here. 1 say, d
the reformers"
Mr.. Roney wanted to force the nomina
tlon Of Alex Wilson, but was ruled ont of
order. Secretary Lang opposed primaries
because they were too expensive. A reso-
luton was finally adopted that the COM
mlttee will meet again on tine 9th inst. and
IN the meantime auy person desiring to
accept q nomination for Mayor on the
Democratic ticket must make his announce
ment in writing to Chairman KoehIer
When the committee meets it will decide
from the list who shall be the party's candi
date.
After the meeting Alex Wilson said he
was not candidate, but if the party nomi-
mated him he would make a fight for cleo
tIon. l. R. Stayton, who has also been
mentioned as probable candidate, said he
had not decided whether to run or not.

attack cheap literature as they attack the
devil Many preachers complained that
their work was too slow; that they were un-
able to excite interest in their ser
mons. 81 have q remedy" he said.
81 would advise such ministers to
go to their churches next Sunday
and after reading chapter from the Bible
go down to the first pew where that old
deacon has for ten years sat doing nothing.
Take him by the neck and throw him
through the window, and dismiss the con-
,gregation. 1t will cost $40 to repair the
window, but it will attract thousands of
people to see the parson who, for once at
least, got move on.
''The preachers of Pittsburg and Alle-
gheny fight the devil in a peculiar way.
They propose to drive him out of town, and in
doing so they remind me of dog chasing
hog out of q corn field. The dog is always
in front" He insisted that ministers
should use the truth as physicians use mus
tard. Apply it instead of reading about it.
II would just as soon have preacher draw
a revolver on me as a written sermon"

P. HI. McEvey Says There Are Not More
Than $50 Seeding Finishers.
Assistant President P. H. McEvey, of
the Amalgamated Association, while visit
ing the Association lodges at Youngstown
yesterday, in reply to an inquiry as to the
strength of the Finishers' Union, said: "I
have visited the mills in Cleveland, Pitts
burg, Sharon, Niles, Girard and New Cas-
tie, and am in position to say with truth
that there are not $50 members in the Fin
ishers' Union The large amount of talk
being INDUCED in by the few members of that
so-called union is mostly misrepresenta-
tion, and it cannot but be detrimental to
the interests of the ironworkers in general"

ONLY ONE BALL A YEAR.

Superintendent Muth Issues an Order That
Causes Some Kicking.
There will be a scarcity of social club
balls held in Allegheny during the coming
holidays compared with the number that
was held during the same period last year.
Superintendent of Police Muth in speak
ing of the matter yesterday afternoon said
he had decided to limit the several social
clubs in this city to one ball each per year.
He said if he did not put this restriction
upon the granting of licenses to conduct
balls the city would be overrun with them.
The. clubs are doing some vigorous kicking
against this rule, but nevertheless he means
to strictly adhere to it in the future.

TO REVIVE INTEREST.
The Painters Discuss Questions That Are
EXCITING Attention

The Painters Discuss Questions That Are
Exciting Attention.
The members of the Brotherhood of
Painters of the two cities held an open
meeting last evening at 1O2 Fourth avenue.
There was good turnout as an earnest re-
quest had been sent out to all the members
to be present. The work of the painters
has practically closed and consequent lack
of interest has been manifested by the
members for the Union. The leaders are
making strenuous efforts to revive the old
time interest. A bold front can thus be
presented with the opening of the next
season so that they will be able to demand
concessions from their employers. The
eight hour law will be Systematically agi-
tsted after the first of the year, as it is the
intention to make determined contest on
this question.

A GOOD MEMORY.

President j. d. Moffat, ID. D., of Washing
ton-Jefferson College, Discusses the
Power to Remembered Talent That
May Be Improved by Careful Training.
President ]. D. Moffat, D. D., of Wash
ington-Jefferson College, delivered the last
lecture of the year in the course at the
Western University yesterday afternoon.
The next lecture will be delivered on Janu-
ary G. 1898. by the Rev. A. P. Hopper, D.
D., on the "Chinese System of Examina-
tions''
DR.. Moffat took for his subject "Mem-
ory." He emphasized the great depend
memory in the whole process of education.
'In the very beginning" he said, sin the
learning of the alphabet it must be employed
in four different forms. The child must re-
member the forms, the sounds, the muscu-
lar actions of the hand in writing or print
ing, and the muscular actions of the vocal
organs in pronouncing
DR.. Moffat held that the two things nec-
essary for good memory are depth Of i'm
preston, which depends either on repeti-
tion of the original act or the amount of
feeling accompanying it; and associating
Impressions, making an effort to connect
into a system the items of knowledge that
may be acquired. DR.. Moffat spoke of reg
ulated and unregulated memory, describing
one as holding the mind to the original
c1annel and the other as allowing more
liberty to switch off into channels opening
up into the original. Some brains were as
if made of jelly; others as if made of wax.
The former quivered but took no impression,
the latter took and retained the impression
given.
Dr. Moffat dwelt upon improving the
power of memory by exercise. He said
that power was the result of exercise and
increases as exercised. There was no way
of developing the power of memory with
out developing particular memory. DR..
Moffat thought the practice of trying to
teach memory to people was absurd and
useless, as there was no good to be gotten
out of the results. He gave the advice to
acquire know ledge in the right way and
memory would take care of itself.

PRICES NOT SATISFACTORY.

Pittsburg Coal Selling Very Low in the
Southern Markets.
A heavy shipment of coal was made yes
terday on the high river The water was
still nine feet and falling, but there was
plenty Of water for good boating stage
Nearly every coal company along the river
sent out all the coal possible, though there
was some dissatisfaction at the price offered
in the Southern markets for Pittsburg coal.
Many were inclined to hold off for better
prices, but the river is now cleared of tow
boats, so that no more coal can be sent until
the boats get back to Pittsburg.

Ambition of Southside Ward Nipped in

Ambition of a Southside Ward Nipped in
the Bud.
A number of Thirty-second ward people
have been urging that they are entitled to
another member of Common Council, and
yesterday to satisfy them Councilman Big
ham looked the matter up. Under the
law each ward is entitled to one member for
1857 resident taxables, the rule being one
fortieth of the resident taxables of the city.
Where there is fraction of three-ifths
more than oEe-fortieth, or l, 697. the ward
is entitled to another member The County
Commissioners books showAd the Thirty
second ward to have only 1,797 resident
taxables, and consequently entitled TO only
one member. There are several other wards
which have been making the same claim,
and parties have been consulting the CON-
missIoners' books, but thus far no move has
been made toward getting the additional
members.
