WANT WET WEATHER.
Towboat Employees Anxious for Rain
to Put an End to Their
SPELL OF ENFORCED IDLENESs.
No Time Yet Fixed for Starting Up the
Beaver Falls Mills.
AN INCREASED DEMAND FOR IRON

The prospect of rain has created general
activity along the wharf, All day yester-
day little knots of men gathered anxiously
around the bulletin boards at the boat
stores earnestly scanning the latest reports
from up-river ports and making all sorts of
predictions as to the amount of rain 1t
would take to swell the rivers into boat
ing stage. Those particularly interested
are not the operators, but the employees,
pilots, engineers, deckhands and others to
whom the prospect of work means q
great deal after such long term Of idle
ness.
since that time there has been little or
nothing done. The usual swork, such as
taking empties to the upper pools and re-
turning with loaded barges in preparation
for the next rise, has not been carried on
owing to the strike among the miners.
Little Coal Ready to Go Out.
There is not now more than 1000, 900
bushels of coal awaiting shipment, which,
by comparison with last year, is very small.
The first shipment after drought of three
months was nearly 25 900, 900 bushels.
In speaking of the strike, w. D. O'Neil
said the operators would stand firm The
principal argument advanced is that the
operators cannot see why they should paw
81 cents, when the railroad operators pay
but cents. He is perfectly satisfied with
the situation and will hold out until next
July if necessary.
Several firms in the fourth pool are
working a few men at the Scent rate, he
said. 81 think when we pile the empties
up at the works the men will begin to
break and gradually return to work. The
reason why there is so little coal is that
during the early part of the summer the
works were run slack, as is usual when a
dry spell is expected, and then the strike
put sudden stop to the output
Coal Loaded on Barges.
Many of the firms have very little coal
on hand ready for shipment in case water
should come. T. NJ. Jenkins & Co. have
probably the largest amount, almost 1000,-
900 bushels. Joseph Walton & Co. have
about $50, 600; Crescent Coal Company, 15O,-
600; Advance Coal Company about the same
amount; WV. O'Neil Coal Company, $780,
600; O'Neil & Co., 0,000; Jutte & Co.,
800, 600, and W. H. Browns Sons, 800, 200
bushels. Others have nothing at all
loaded. Horner & Roberts stopped with
but half a barge loaded. The feel
ing is strong among the operators that
if they stand together they can win with
ease. 1t was reported that one firm posted
notice on Sunday morning that they
would start up the following day at the old
rates, but it was taken down on Monday.
The marks below the Davis Island dam
showed feet inches yesterday, q rise of 2
feet inches. This is almost enough to al
low the packets to run, and if the rain con-
tinues for a day or two this branch OF the
trade will be started.

HAD A WALKOVER.

President Eberhart of the Window Glass
Workers Association Is Reelected
The Opposition Had No show-W. e.
Springer.Is Reelected Secretary.
The Executive Council of the Window
Glass Workers Association yesterday COM
pleted counting the votes for the presidency
of the association that nave been coming in
for the past two weeks from the various
locals throughout the country. The candi-
dates for the Office we're the present in
cumbent, ]. P. Eberhart, Edward Phillips
of the Southside, and Arthur Faulkner, OF
Dunkirk, Ind. The total number of votes
in the association is about 1900, OF which
8, 900 were polled at the present election.
Mr.. Eberhart was reelected by large
majority. There was no effort in his behalf
made by his friends, as he indicated before
hand that should he be reelected by only
a small majority, he would resign. His
majority is about /, 700 and his friends con-
slider it as complete victory.
Before the election there was some ap-
prehension that the opposition to Mr.. Eber-
hart for political reasons would be consid-
erable, as many members of the order took
offense at him for making Republican
speeches during the campaign. AS the or
ganization is non-political union, the op-
position had even gone SO far as to prepare
q set of resolutions to be introduced at one of
the meetings to oppose his reelection. The
resolutions were never brought forward, but
the opposition kept up such an active fight
that President Eberhart was only induced
to remain as a candidate at the earnest
solicitation of his friends. The sentiment
began to settle strongly toward the presi-
dent, and when the result was announced it
was complete surprise to his opponents
and is considered an Endorsement of his
conduct in the past. The office of secre-
tary, at present held by w. E. Springer, is
not an elective one, but is decided by the
Executive Council. He was reelected for
the coming year.

NO TIME SET TO START.
Manager Dillon Says No Decision Has Been
| Reached as to the Beaver Falls Mills,

Manager Dillon Says No Decision Has Been
Reached as to the Beaver Falls Mills.
The report that Manager Dillon, of the
Thirty third Street Mills, had left the city
lacked confirmation, as he was seen by a
DISPATCH reporter at the Lawrenceville
mills in the afternoon. He now has the
power to either start up the Beaver Falls
mills or let them He idle.
When asked if he would go to Beaver
this week. so as to make preliminary ar
rangements for starting the plant, he said:
81 don't care to discuss the subject, but
will say there is no truth in the rumor. It
is simply one of those many reports that
have been circulated, which do not contain
a bit of truth. No, sir; I am not going
down there, and what is more nothing has
yet been decided upon as to those works.
When Mr.. Frick says so they will start,
and when I tell you that no time has yet
been set or thought of, tell you the truth,
and no other reports can be relied upon.
"As to their being no water to run the
works in case we so desired, that is not
true We can start them up just as soon
as we want to- but when that will be 1
don't know, nor has the company yet set a
date to do so"

fame. as Mr.. Watson put it. was that Iams
got his chaw from Leasure's plug.
Rifle Practice Inspector W. S. Brown, OF
the Fourteenth, gave his version of the
Iams punishment, which coincided with the
defense's previous evidence, and corrobor:
ated the important point that Iams rested
the balls of his feet on the ground in
hanging while his heels nearly touched the
ground. Captain Brown, who was serving
then as aid to Colonel Hawkins, saw Iams
take the rope off one hand himself when he
was cut down.
Lieutenant McLain aud Lieutenant ]. L.
Auchendoble contributed unimportant de-
tails, the latter's eagerness to testify that
Iams' punishment was q mere bagatelle en-
failing severe cross-examination, in the
course of which he denied that he had stated
in an interview with Monongahela Repasb-
lican reporter that the sight of Iams hang
ing up had made him sick.
The last witness for the dav was Adjutant
S. B., familiarlY known as Shad, HAYES, OF
the Tenth Regiment. who testified that
from what he saw of Iams' punishment he
didn't think it entailed much pain. After
Iams had been cut down he heard him say:
II wish hadn't swallowed that tobacco. !"
The court adjourned till $50 this MORN
ing. 1t is probable that the defense will
get in all their testimony, including Cen
eral Snowden's, which may be of some i'm
portance, this morning: and the prosecution
may then call some witnesses in rebuttal.
The speeches on both sides will take up
some time, and the jury can hardly get the
case till Friday.

THE HOMESTEAD STRIKE.

The Democrats Have Been Making Capital
Ont of the Labor Struggles.
A former officer of the Amalgamated As
sociation stated yesterday: ''The biggest
card the Democrats have had to play during
the campaign has been the Homestead
strike, and they have been working 1t for
all it is worth, too. Mark nv word for it,
that in less than two weeks after
the election the HOMESTEAD strike
will be thing of the past. In my opinion,
and I have been watching things pretty
closely, the only thing that has made men
stand out as they have in the face of defeat,
is that they have been supplied with funds
secretly to help the campaign along. Men
who did not have cent when the strike
was inaugursted have been and are now
spending money lavishly, and yet they only
get 81 q week in benefits from the order.
Where do they get it? 1 will not say, but
have seen enough to draw my own conclu-
siona Just wait until after election and
see how fiat things will fall

JAMES BANETT, an ex-poltceman, was sent
so days to the workhouse. 1t is believed
that he is mentally unbalanced. On Smith

WAS an haliucination.

MATTERS MIXED AT BEAVER FALLS
The Strikers Still Firm and the Busines.
Men Agree With Them

The Strikers Still Firm and the Business
Men Agree With Them.
The probable starting up of the Beaver
Falls mills by the Carnegie Steel Company
is the chief topic of discussion among the
the strikers at the Twenty ninth and Thirty
third street mills and they were a unit in
coming out and have worked together ever
since the strike was declared.
Robert Warren, one of the leaders of the
strikers at the Lawrenceville mills, returned
from Beaver Falls Yesterday, where he has
been comforting with the men. He said
that he failed to find single instance where
any of the strikers wanted to return as nom
union men. They were apparently as firm
as when they came out, and while many be-
lieved the mills would start up in short
time, no one anticipated trouble. In case
an attempt is made to start the mills, he
said, the strikers would simply stand firm,
believing that the works could not be sue
cessfully operated with non-union men.
He declared that the citizens petition was
fraud, and that many who had signed
wanted to have their names taken off the
paper.

INCREASED DEMAND FOR LABOR.

Double Turn.

Mills start Up and VIII Soon Be Put on
Double Turn.
After being idle for several weeks the
pudding department of the Moorhead, Nc
Cleane s. Co.'S mills at Soho have started
up. The increased demand for iron was the
cause, and Mr. Moorhead stated yesterday
that it would only be few days until the
mills would be put on double turn. The
demand could not be supplied at the present
rate of output. He said the only parts of
the mills now idle were the furnaces and he
expected them to be in operation within a
short time.
Continuing he said: 'The surplus of pig
iron is being rapidly used up. and then the
price may be expected to advance. It is
now selling for Sl2 so ton, and there is n
profit in it at that figure I will start my
furnaces as soon as there is better demand
for the metal. 1 know of q number of other
furnaces that are waiting for the same
thing, when they will be fired. The out
look tor the years business is bright, and
after the election business will start up in
earnest"

STRIKING MINERS DETERMINED,

They Assert That They VIII Not Give in
Until Spring.
A dispatch from NICK eesport last night
stated that the river miners are as firm as
ever, and that there is no indication OF them
returning to work. Breaks have been re-
ported at several places, but the miners are
said to be in splendid condition, and are
willing to stand out until spring if neces-
sary, and that within the past week they
have resolved to stand out tos the
bitter end. 1t is denied that the miners in
the Aliquippa mines have returned TO
work, or any of the mines involved in such
numbers as to have any effect on the strike.
1t is also reported on good authority that
should the river operators undertake to
form combine to control the local mar
kets they would have to fight the railroad
coal operators, who are determined to hold
their present position.

GLASS COMPANIES ON THE LOOKOUT.

Suitable Sites for Factories Said to Have
Been Found at McKeesport.
A dispatch from McKeesport last even
ing announced that agents for four Of the
green bottle-makers of the Southside were
prospecting for factory sites in that vicin-
ity. The firms represented were D. O.
Cunningham, VIM. McNulty & Co.,
Thomas d. Wightham & Co, and
the Ihmsen Glass Company. This is
the following out of the plan
recently announced exclusively in THE
DISPAT H, and is said to have been sug-
gested by II. Sellers Mckee. The plan is
to abandon the sites of the old factories on
the Southside and, on account of their great
value, build the glass factories elsewhere
on the modern tank system. 1t is reported
that satisfactory locations have been
secured. The plan is to build one immense
plant, occupying the territory all four would
occupy separately, and ultimately unite all
into one company.

LAUGHED OUT OF COURT.

A New Move in the Triennial Assessment
Cases Fails of Its Object
Attorneys Shields and Dickey went into
court yesterday with paper requesting the
court to vacate the order made two weeks
ago by which the three Common Pleas
Court judges are to sit in banc on the tri-
ennial assessment cases next Wednesday.
In their paper the attorneys deny the juris-
diction of the courts sitting in such a man
ner, allege that q majority of the 260 appel
lants had demanded separate jury trials and
claim that the outcome of the suit in equity
filed by the appellants and others may
render further hearings on the appeals un-
necessary.
Judge Porter expressed surprise that the
attorneys should file such a paper. He
said it was really protest against the
action of the three courts and politely
laughed the attorneys out of court.

WILL CARRY IT INTO COURT.

An Attempt to Have the Bellefield Trac-
ton Ordinance Annulled.
The Central Traction Company has de-
cided to go into court to prevent the Du-
quesne Traction Company from proceeding
under the ordinance giving them right of
way on Center avenue. 1t is expected the
court will be asked to annul the Bellefeld
Company's ordinance, but on what ground
is not known. A director of the Central
Company declares that the Pittsburg Trac-
tion Company year and half ago offered
500, 900 to shut the Duquesne Company out
from using the Centraps tracks west of
Grant street. In the hope of getting fran
chise to the East End for their line the Gen.
tral refused the offer and accepted $1,000
from the Duquesne Company. The gentle
man claims an agreement was made at that
time by the Duquesne and Central officials
bv which the latter were toSet their right
of way when they wanted it, but the agree
ment was violated by the Duquesne people.

WHO WILL HE BE?
Robertson County Has no Avail
able Man For the Senate.
The Springfield Record Suggests That il
Would be Better for Montgomery
to Name Him.

1t has been the understanding all
the while that Robertson county
should furnish the Democratic can
didate for senator from that county
and Montgomery, but it now seems
that the right kind Of man cannot be
secured, and 1t will perhaps TALL to
this county's lot to furnish him.
The Springfield Herald thus gives
the situation in that county:
CATER the issue of last weeks edi-
ton of this puper, we learned from
Mr.. G. G.. Holman that he had posi-
lively decided not to allow his name
to go before the Senatorial Conven-
ton that meets In GAINESVILLE Oct. 6.
Mr.. Holman's decision is much re-
GREETED by hosts of straight Demo
Gratis throughout this county, rs they
were confident he could carry the
county without difficulty. His posi-
tive refusal to be candidate requires
that some other good Democrat be
found whose character, record, and
ability will command the respect and
votes of the Democracy of Robertson.
Col. w. R. Sadler, who has several
times ably represented this county
and Congressional district, was so
licited to accept the nomination, but
his health is in such precarious con-
dition that he fears he would not be
able to attend TO the duties of the
candidacy and the office, and, much
to the regret of his party, firmly
declines to be a candidate. Prof.
J. E. Ruffin, our County Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, has
been unanimously selected by the
Democracy OF this part of the coun-
ty as the candidate, bat in a card
which appears i'll another column of
this paper, he also declines the noun
ination. 1t looks like the office is
seeking the man in this instance, and
lis the earnest hope of all true Dem
ocrats that some honest, worthy man
will be found who will accept the
nomination, for if there ever was a
time when the Democratic party OF
this county needed good man and
a staunch, true Democrat TO represent
it, that lime is now. We have heard
of several who aspire to the nomina-
ton but they are not those who
should be chosen to represent this
people, and would meet with bitter
opposition in many quarters. Better
let Montgomery county name the
candidate than nominate a man from
this county, who would widen the
breaches already made, and result in
the election OF some one inimcal
to the principles and teachings of
true, straight old Jefiefsonian DEM
ocracy."
