A HAD BILL WITH A GOOD N AmE

A HAD BILL WITH "A GOOD NAME. What is known as the Paddock Pure Food bill has passed the senate and a
 strong effort is being made to put it through the house. But since it went
 through the senate very strong opposi- tion to it has developed, based on the fact that the bill tIit should become q law would allow and authorize an unnecessary and offensive inqnisition into the business of private citizens, and also prove great
 damage to many kinds of business. The invasion of private interests is to be effect ed through the instrumentality of chem
 ist "whose duty it shall be to procure from time to time, under rules and regu- lations to be prescribed by the secretary
 of agriculture, and analyze or cause to be
 analysed or examined samples of food and
 drugs sold or offered for sale in any State or
 territory other than where manufactured" The bill makes misdemeanor, punishable by fine and imprisonment, the introduce tion into one State or Territory from an- other of any food or drug adulterated or improperly branded. A drug, under the provisions of this act, is any medicine, internal or external. A food is anything plain or mixed, simple or compound, which is used for food or drink by man. Every person who ships food or drugs from one State to another, or exposes the
 same for sale, must furnish samples to the
 agents of the food section of the chemical
 division of the department of agriculture.
 Refusal to comply with the law would
 bring a fine of from $10 to $100 and i'm
 prisonment for from thirty to one hundred
 days.
 The harmful character of this bill is ap- parent when it is borne in mind that if it should become law no manufacturer of proprietary articles would venture to con-
 tinue to expend money on his articles until
 they should pass the ordeal of an e1amina- tion by the chemist, nor would he after wards dare to do so should he find that prejudice, malice, bribery or the influence
 of hostile rival could st any time cause 8
 fresh examination, thus leaving his whole
 fortune and business prosperity at the
 mercy of an unknown professor of chem
 istry. It is a bad bill with good name.

Last evenings primaries were very in teresting and significant affairs. For weeks they have been looked forward to as test of the voting strength of the Big Four. They will be looked back upon as a revelation of it's weakness. It is not often that there is such unanimity in pri- mary voting in this city, and it is evident that some powerful general cause was at work. We suppose that all the members of the Big Four will today disclaim any connection with the performance, but it is @ fact that very many of the voters under stood that their votes meant protest against ring rule in this city, and that they were glad to have a chance to cast their votes in that way. Theresult is very encouraging to all who have been standing up for good government and the interests of the taxpayers. The Democrats of New Haven have done good thing.

 Referring to the sweet drinks served al
 the dinners of the late Empress Augusta,
 and to his own dislike for them, he said tc
 some friends not long ago: Fortunately
 the sergeants who served at table were knowing lads, especially tall artillery fellow. When he looked at me I winked with the right eye; he winked back with the left, and knew that stiff cognac would be poured into my glass;"
 Rev. Francis Marsten, Presbyterian clergyman, of Columbus, Ohio, evidently doesn't believe that prayer should be a string of pious platitudes. He was invited the other day to open the session of the lower house with prayer, and this is how he did it. Remember, o Lord, the welfare of these, thy servants, gathered here in this maelstrom of iniquity, fraud and corrup- tion. Thou knowest with what suspicion this legislature is looked on by the people of this great state. Lord, deliver us from the bribes, bribers and bribetakers in our midst, and keep them from the ways of temptation which surround them on every hand, and may their acts be righteous and not corrupt" ,~
 The newest poor-law scheme comes from lower Austria, where bill has been intro duced into the Diet with good prospects of speedy passage. This measure makes a distinction between permanent and tenn porary relief, and premises the obligation of the authorities, and, in particular, of the municipalities, to afford such relief. This obligation is in future to be quite in- dependent of the applicants place of birth or domicile. An able-bodied pauper can not apply for relief unless he can prove that his efforts to obtain work have been fruitless. The different communes will be divided into poor relief districts, which will, as rule, be identified with the judi cial districts. These poor-relief districts will have the exclusive disposal of the funds destined for the support of paupers, and will be entitled to claim contributions from the State amounting to 10 per cent. of the local taxation. The savings banks will contribute 10 per cent of their net revenue. One important innovation is that women, having attained their major ity, will be entitled to act as guardians of the poor

Postmaster Mexican Brings Up His ONES
Into the First Grade of the First Glass

salarv.
Postmaster Mexican is expected to arrive
home this morning from Atlantic City.
Tonight Mr.. Mexican will go to Washing.
ton, where he will present to the Postofice
Department a report of the business of the
Pittsburg office during the past year. The
report will show largely increased bust
ness for the wear, will guarantee an increase
in the postmaster's annual salary of 81, 600,
and will advance the assistant postmaster's s
salary about 5000 year.
The efforts of Postmaster Mexican and his
associates to raise The grade and class of the
Pittsburg postofice has provoked much
favorable comment and has been considered
highly commendable
The postofices of the United States are
divided into 13 classes and many more
grades. When Postmaster Mexican as
sumed charge of the Pittsburg office it was
in the fourth grade OF the first
class. Two years ago it was advanced
to the second grade in the first class. A
year ago it was advanced another grade.
which is based on a business of $500. 600 or
over Last year the Office fell $50, 600 short
of the first grade, which is based on busi-
ness of $500, 600 or over. This year the
first grade has been reached, and the Office
enters into the first grade of the first class
with the offices of New York, Chicago, Bal
timore and Cincinnati. The advance will
increase the Postmaster's salary to Sc, 900 a
year.
Postmaster Mexican and Assistant Post
master Edwards are justly proud of their
successful efforts to land Pittsburg's post
office into line with the other great cities of
the country.

TWO CASES SENT TO COURT.
Members OF tho Builders' Exchange Mus
Answer the Charge of Conspiracy.

Members Of the Builders' Exchange Must
Answer the Charge of Conspiracy.
The hearings in the cases for conspiracy
brought against the members of the
Builders Exchange were concluded before
Alderman Means last night. In two of the
cases the defendants were held for court in
1000 bail each. In the third all the
testimony was taken, but a decision re-
served until next Tuesday. The informa-
tions sent to court are those made by Ellis
worth w. Houston and Thomas Buchanan
Houston sued H. R. Barnes, President of
the Exchange, D. F. McAfee, Secretary, D.
E. Sheridan and Henry NJ. Kerr. Buchanan
sued President Barnes, William P. Vann,
John Carr and L. T. Yoder. The third
case, in which a decision is reserved, Is
brought by Isaac Register against Barnes,
E. A. Knox, Samuel Francis, 7. j. Hamll-
ton and j. N. Basket.
In this case last night, Samuel Sample
and Henry Diffenbacker testified to Register
having been refused material for building
the house of Fred Gaub, on Auburn street.
j. w. Beckett testified to bricks having
been delivered at the building and
then hauled away again. In the
case of Mr.. Buchanan he testified
that the Exchange had refused him material
because he had obtained five bricklayers
from them by offering better wages. George
Speed, Ed. Alfred and NJ. Crapp, bricklay-
ers, testified to losing time on account OF the
refusal of material for Buchanan. Attor-
neys Porter and Fitzsimmons, for the prose-
cution, endeavored to learn from all the wit
nesses the name of the solicitor or walking
delegate of the Exchange. None, however,
knew him.

Local Agents Not sure That the Wheeling
and Lake Erie Has Cut Iron Rates.
An important meeting of the Pittsburg,
Youngstown and Cleveland freight commit
tees vas held at the Erie Office on Wood
street yesterday to consider reduction in
west bound iron rates. 1t is reported that
the Wheeling and Lake Erie road
had cut the rates 1 cent per 100 pounds
out of Wheeling to Chicago and other
Western points When the agents met
yesterday not one of them was sure that the
Wheeling and Lake Erie had made such
reduction, and the time was put in, as one
of them said, with chin music 1t was
finally decided to adjourn until this morn.
ing to give time to find out what the Wheel
ing road had done.
If the reduction has been made there is
nothing else for the local lines to do but to
meet it. One agent stated that the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie is a new road, and is
trying to make capital for itself The Off
cials of the line take the ground that
Wheeling is nearer the Western markets
than Pittsburg, and therefore deserves q
lower rate. This would be dangerous
principle for some of the roads to adopt.
1t would suit the Pittsburg coal men on
their product to the lakes. They pay as
much for short haul as the Hooking Val
ley operators for long one, and before this
year the Ohio people were allowed differ
ential of cents
Division Freight Agent Seymour, of the
Pennsylvania road, presided. Among the
Cleveland agents present were Sam P.
Shane, of the Erie; George F. Mckay, of
the Lake Shore, and w. II. Smith.

RANKIN'S ROUGH RIOT.

Its Origin Jealousy and Its Result-Five
Persons Badly Hurt-The Husband Bent
on SEicide-He Is Rescued and q Free
Fight Follows.
A small riot, preceded by an attempt at
suicide and followed by the arrest of the
man who interfered with the matrimonial
bliss of Lewis Miller, startled Rankin
borough yesterday.
Lewis Miller keeps boarding house, and
for some time has been suspicious of the
attentions paid his wife by Andrew Aufdem-
witz, boarder. This morning he thought
he had discovered convincing proof of their
guilt, and, becoming discouraged, he went
to the railroad and threw himself upon the
track in front of an approaching train.
John Black and George Fall, two workmen,
were nearby and dragged him off the track
in time to save his life.
Miller related his woes to the two men,
who accompanied him home. They found
Autdemwitz still in the house, and Mr..
Black, who is Mrs. Miller's stepfather
turned in and gave the lover a thrashing.
Mrs. Miller interfered and general riot
followed. Aufdemwitz with three men
against him, picked up a chair and rushed
at Mr.. Black. Mrs. Miller sprang between
them and received the blow full upon the
head. Aufdemwitz then picked up an iron
bar and dealt Black terrible blow, cutting
his head open. In the. free fight which fol-
lowed every one of the five combatants
came off with serious injuries.
Officers were telephoned for from Brad
dock, and when they arrived they had some
difficulty in placing Aufdemwitz under ar
rest. He is now held under two charges of
aggravated assault and battery, the infor-
nation stating that Mr.. Fall was also badly
iniured.

Wheeling, Steubenville, McKeesport,
Braddock, Altoona, Youngstown, East
Liverpool, Sharon. Homestead, Beaver
Falls, Bellaire, and Jeanette.

pected, and considerable trouble was ex-
perienced in providing entertainment for
all of them.
They Will Turn at Kenney's Grove.
The idea of the present meeting is to pro-
vide a contest in turning exercises for the
members of all societies in this vicinity.
This sport will be commenced to-day at
Kenney's Grove and concluded tomorrow.
By 6 o'clock last evening all the visiting
delegations had arrived, and last night a
reception was given them in the new South
side Turner hall on South Thirteenth
street. VIM. Kaiser, of the So1thside
Turnverein, welcomed the visitors on be-
half of his society. Mayor Gourley was to
welcome them in behalf of the city.
He was prevented from being present, but
his place was filled bv Magistrate Succop.
Gottfried Ishen responded in behalf Of the
visitors.
All southside Turner's In Line.
Following this there was a parade over
the principal streets of the Southside in
which all the visitors took part, preceded
by all the societies on the south side of the
river. Magistrate Succop acted as chief
marshal The route of march was up Sarah
street to South Twenty sixth, thence to
Carson ard along Carson to South Thir-
teenth street, where tine hall was again
reached.
The remainder of the evening was spent
at the hall witnessing performance by
some of the younger members of the society.
While the parade was in progress red fire
was burned all along the line and many of
the houses were decorated with the national
colors. About 800 people participated in
the parade and the men were repeatedly
cheered. A picnic will be held to-day.

lie auction in the Sheriff s salesroom in the
Court House. The goods are those re-
covered from the houses of Mrs. Phoebe

still in the penitentiary. The goods were
recovered two years ago, and were valued
at 50, 600. A part of them were identified,
but as there were no marks on some of
them, the owners could not be found. Only
the poorest goods were sold yesterday, the
best being reserved in order to hold the
crowd. There will be about $500 worth of
silks and finer goods sold to-day.
Carson Mercer was in charge of the sale
and Henry Smithson was the auctioneer.
Everything was sold yesterday from a
bunch of hairpins to an eight-day clock.

were worthless. Everything went regard
less of value, and some things went away
