AN EVENING ABROAD.

The Pittsburg Amateur Photographers
Look at Lantern Slides at the Academy
of Science and Arts-A Kattydid's Giz-
zard Was an Amusing View Shown.
An exhibition of English lantern slides
at the Academy OF Science and Art last
night entertained an interested audience.
The views shown consisted of 166 examples,
which were selected from the 1890
prize competition in amateur photog-
raphy given by the London Journal Of Pho
toqrdphy. The slides were classified under
the heads of Home Portraiture, Landscape,
Gehere, Clouds, Architecture, Marine. In
Simultaneous, Animals, Street Life and Sci
entifc. Photographer W. S. Bell eIhib-
tied the views, while Auditor w. S. Glow
read their accompanying descriptions.
The Amateur Photographers Society of
this city belongs to the American Inter-
change of Slides, an organization with
system by which members can economically
avail themselves of the temporary use OF
collections of lantern views from other
cities and localities, either here or abroad.
Some of the pictures exhibited were very
charming Others seemed not equal to simi-
lar American views. or the former class was

laugh. The architectural views we're well
taken, but less interesting to the general
audience. The scientific views of micro
scopic subjects, greatly magni6ed, were
curious, and the gizzard of a katydid or
some such insect quite overcome the gentle
risibilities of one member OF the fair sex in
the audience.

ON A SLIDING SCALE.

Skaters in Rictous Enjoyment on the Riv-
ers Which Are Frozen for Many Miles
"A Twenty Mile Stretch Is Now Freez-
ing Up-Chilly Country Districts.
The Ohio is rapidly closing up with ice.
A narrowing line of open water is still to
be seen near the city, but wherever the
current is not so swift in the river below as
far as Beaver, it is practically frozen over.
At several points below Sewickley the ice
is tightly packed from shore to shore. just
below Economy, 16 miles from the city, a
man can cross on the ice and yesterday
skaters we're flying from one bank to the
other. If the cold remains as intense as
has been for some days, il will enable one
to skate from Pittsburg % or 80 miles down
the river.
The stone buttresses of the dam at Belle
vue have broken the ice and kept the river
Immediately below from freezing up as
quickly as it might have done. Now, how
ever, the ice is solid from the southern
shore TO beyond the ''bear-trap" in the
dam, which lies almost in the center of the
river, and every hour the solid ice grows.
The Beaver river is now entirely closed,
except in the little patch of rough water
below the falls at the toll bridge between
Beaver axd Rochester. The ice extends to
the brink of the falls and skaters have ven-
tured to the very point where the water
tumbles over.
The Beaver was covered with skaters yes
terday morning. There have been few
accidents there, mostly to boys who could
not resist the temptation of dangerous air
holes, but ducl1ing was the worst anyone
got. The best skating on the Ohio is inside
the Wing dam above Coraopolis, on the
southern side of the river. But there is
more or less smooth ice in every half-mile
stretch of the river. The ponds and creeks
have had the call with the skaters hitherto.
but there were hundreds of them to be seen
on the river yesterday between Rochester
and this city, and there will be regular
winter carnival on the Ohio if the cold snap
keeps up.
In the country yesterday morning the
wlntry garb of nature was lovely. Farmers
thermometers reported zero weather or de-
gree OF cold closely approaching that ex-
treme. Dairymen in the Ohio Valley COM
planned that the milk froze as they drove
into the river towns, and everywhere the
only riotously happy one among all the re-
frigerated was the small boy on skates or
astride a bob sled. There is no sleighing
worthy of the name in the rural districts
near Pittsburg, although but a small fall of
snow upon the hard frozen roads is required
to make them just the thing for the swift
cutter.

FROST In THE PIPES.
Philadelphia Company Officials Explain

Many Apparent Shortages of Gas-An
Inquisitlve Plumber Makes a Discovery
An Easy Method to Overcome the
Difficulties.
Perhaps the greatest percentage of the
complaints about the shortage of gas re-
ceived by the Philadelphia Company can
be attributed to the formation of hoar frost
inside the supply pipes in the houses The
company has never before met with SO
many cases as it has this winter and at
tributes it to the unusually severe weather.
An official of the company said: "We are
having great many complaints about the
shortage of gas. bJi. as soon as they are re-
ceived we Immediately send our inspector
to ascertain, if possible, the cause. In
most cases, notwithstanding our pressure
has been low, we have found sufficient
gas passing into the regulator and meter
there our jurisdiction ceasing. We have so
reported the cases 10 the householder and
suggested that the trouble might be in the
distributing pipes Still the ANNOYANCE
continued, there being plenty of gas in
some CRATES and others burning scarcely
enough to ignite. Several plumbers at
tributed the cause of the light flow of gas
to the cold weather retarding its progress.
One little more inquisitive than the rest,
broke one of the joints and discovered. the
opening of the pipe to be almost closed
with hoar frost. He repaired the joint and
by the application of heat soon had every
fire in the house blazing up as brilliantly as
could be desired.
'This fact may be of value for those who
have trouble with gas. would advise this
method tor applying the heat as it will
obviate the possibility of fire and e1-
plosions. Wrap the pipe leading up to the
fire which is affected with a lot of rags and
cloths so that about ten inches of the pipe
is covered. Then pour boiling water upon
the rags for ten minutes or until the gas is
well heated and the hoar frost will vanish
and the fire blaze up"

A REBELLIOUS FLOCK.
Stormy Times in a Church, in Which the
Pastor Gets the Best oft.

Pastor Gets the Best of 1t.
CANTON, Dec. 3O-[SpeciaL ]-Develop-
ments in the prayer meeting in the Baptist
church last night created division that in
wolves the people of the whole town. Jay
Smith, owner of a printing Office, exchanged
compliments with the pastor, Rev. j. n.
Field, declaring in effect that the minister
did not practice what he preached. A
story time followed. in which the ladies
bore a gallant part. Finally, the Smith
faction became so demonstrative that the
minister left the meeting in disgust
Then the deacons held a meeting The
minister had the strongest following in this
assembly, and after lively time resolu-
tion to discharge Smith from membership
in the church was adopted. Then, to moIlifv
the minister, the deacons passed another
resolution to raise his salary 5000 year.
Smith demanded hearing and the privi-
lege OF stating his case before the meeting
OF deacons prior to to this latter enactment,
but he was refused. Then he gave notice
that he would prepare his statement, print
it in his own Office and distribute it eratuit-
ously to every house in the city. 1t is said
that he has been at work ON the manifesto
to-day, and that it will be given to an
anxious public tomorrow.

THE FANCY ONES OUT.

Silver Lake and Allegheny Skaters Doing
Their Best-An Old Boy of 50 Cuts a
Caper-Some Talk of Fancy and Speed
Contest.
Silver Lake and the ponds at the ALLIE
gheEy Parks were thronged with Joyous,
rosy-cheeked skaters all day yesterday and
far into the night. At Silver Lake the
turnstile recorded 1000 skaters last night
and 700 during the day. The ice at Silver
Lake is in splendid condition, being seven
inches thick and as smooth as glass. The
lake being five acres IN extent, there is
room for everybody and collisions are rare,
except among those who put on the elusive
skate for the first time. The scene at night Is
especially charming, when some 200 torches
cast their flaming radiance on the swiftly
gliding masses, bringing out strange, Rem
brandtish effects
The ice is put into a thoroughly good
condition every morning. 1t is first swept
and then big planer drawn by a horse
goes over every inch of the lake, making it
as smooth as billiard ball.
As Gay as the Gayest.
Though the majority of the skaters are
boys and girls in their teens, in whom the
blood courses merrily, occasionally a silver
haired old boy tries if his bones are as
Timber as of Yore, and buckles on pair of
skates.
a German 50 years old tried his luck on
the skates yesterday at Silver Lake. He
wore a pair of old timers, with curl in
front like pigs tail. He was as agile as
any of the young people, and was great
center of attraction. In his gvrations
round the lake he was frequently greeted
with cries of 'grandpap.
A troop of small boys did big business
in buckling on skates for lazy skaters and
foT young ladies who were unprovided with
an escort. They occasionally got Job IN
piloting to shore some used-up skaters.
When business is slack they gather around
the big stove in the mems waiting room and
swap shedding stories
The Talent Out in Force.
The best skaters of Pittsburg and ALLIE
gheny were out yesterday, and some very
fancy skating can be seen every day until
the weather warns up. Among fancy
skaters who have taken turn on the ice ut
the lake for the past few DAYS are Bert Ed
wards, Frederick Rutsneider, Ed O'Brien.
J. NJ. Davis, and the Misses Fahnestock,
Mckinney and McKitneE If the cold |
weather lasts an exhibition of fancy skating |
and races may follow. There is enough |
talent in that line TO make it interesting.
At the Allegheny park pond the small /
bov and his sled were in all their glory |
There was no admission fee, the crowd was,
democratic, and skaters, sledders and sliders /
mixed in a delightful way and collisions |
we're fast and furious One lazy small boy, |
who had been doubtless recently lmbibing |
some LEplander romances made his canine |
do duty as q reindeer. There were lots of |
povices on the ice, and their frantic efforts |
maintain their equilibrium kept |
,le audience on the shore from !
freezing. The swans and the ducks i
and geese sleepily wondered at the |
OF their domain. They still have /
a share of their native element to disport in, |
and the skater has to beware of cold bath |
when executing his fancy whirls inHheir |
vicinity.

GROWN MURDER
Brought Before the Public by the Actiol
 of the Cronin Committee,

Brought Before the Public by the Action
 of the Cronin Committee,
 CHICAGO, July 1S.-The meeting of the Cronin committee, held last night for the purposeaof considering certain rev evidence, which is said to have recently turned up in con nection with the untried perpetrator of the Cronin murder and deciding what course to be taken regard ing it. It was finally decided before taking any decisive steps in the mat ter that the opinion of one of the ablest lawyers in hecountry be taken on the whole case. Assurances of solid financial support were re- c6ived from the East in case of an- other struggle. The letter was drafted to Mgr. Korby, of Rome, who is cousin of the murdered man, asking ce-oporation counter acting certain influences in this city, which it is said have been powerful agents in closing the mouths of those who could reveal the whole plot if he be asked to lay the case before Cardinal Ledochowski, with view to direct the action by tho Vatican of the only effective remedy.

THEY FIND THE BRUTE
And Bring Him to Tree, Place a Chain Around His Neck and Make Ready to Hang Him, But are Pre- vailed Upon to Let the
 Law Take it's
 Course.

COLUMBIA, s. C., July 18.-- Spartanburg was thrown into wild state of excitement yesterday. Al day long parties, mill operatives, have been searching for Andy Jefferds, the negro who killed William Atkins while operating early yesterday morning Jefferds is bad negro and has been in the pen for house breaking. Atkins was a carder at the Spartan mills and leaves family.
 LATER.
 Jefferds was brought into the street and in less time than 1t takes to tell he was surrounded by a mob of 200 or 300. They were armed with shotguns and cries to lynch him, " 'shang him, and "kill him" were heardb The negro was led to tree, chain placed around his neck and man went up the tree to make it fast. In the meantime the enraged fac tory people beat the negro with stones and cut him on the neck with knives. He was badly hurt, but the mob seemed like wild beasts in their eagerness to kill the man. They were just about to hang him when Andrew Moore, D. Evans, David Thomas and s. N. Evans and sev- eral other gentlemen rushed up and begged the mob to spare him. Af- ter much difficulty, during which it seemed as if several would be killed, the leaders of the mob was prevailed upon to let the law take it's course, the rope was re- moved from the negro's neck, and surrounded by a bowling mob he was taken to jail and delivered to the sheriff. It means death to any one who tries to take the negro from the jail.

 JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, July 18.-- The Democratic convention will be called to order at the house of rep resentatives Tuesday. The cam paign for governor has been the most exciting ever known in the state. Richard Dalton and ex- Congressman w. J. Stone are in the lead, and apparently not a dozen votes apart, while Judge James Gibson is good third, and Lieuten- ant Governor Clay Comb and the Rev. Pope Yeaman are far in the rear. Over 100 of 526 delegates that compose the convention will arrive to-day, and several times as many friends of the various candi- dates. The headquarters are opened by all the leading candidates for the state offices. As matters now stand Judge Gibson holds the balance over. He has strong del egation from Kansas City, and is evidently not losing any ground.
