THE POLES AGAIN AT WAR.

They Protest Against Their Priests De-
mands and ask for an Auditing of tho
Church Accounts-Rev. Father Wall
Fails to Settle the Trouble.
The Polish church troubles on the South
side has broken out afresh and the situation
last night was more or less alarming to Rev.
Father Miskicwics, pastor of St. Adelberts
Church. The recent trouble has grown out
of disposition on the part of
certain members of the congrega-
tion who want to know what
disposition has been made of the money
paid into the church. The kickers on Sun
day appointed a committee to investigate
The priest refused to give them the infor-
nation desired and the committee re-
ferred their grievance to Bishop
Phelon. The committee explained
what their priest had told them
that unless they went to confession on
Easter Sunday they could no longer be
Catholics and that he wanted to charge them
81 each for hearing their confessions. the
committee claimed that manymembers of the
congregation could not pay the money.
Rev. Father Wall, of Allegheny, met the
committee yesterday, but at the end of the
conference the trouble was no nearer a final
end than before There waH goodly num-
Der of members of the church present at the
school and the assemblage was swelled to
considerable proportions by many not MEM
bers of the congregation, but who are in
sympathy with the element who are said to
be outside the pale OF the church. Before
the conference closed Father Wall became
impatient at the actions and words of some
Of those present, and in the end concluded
to have nothing further to do with the mat
ter. He was not given chance to do much
arbitrating, as the men present at the meet
ing wanted to do all the talking. He.

which did not have the effect of making the
outlook any more peaceful

BOUND AND GAGGED.
Four Burglars Make = Water Haul in the

Four Burglars Make = Water Haul in the
b. h o. Station at Finleyville.
Four masked men bound and gagged the
telegraph operator and the conductor of a
shifting crew In the Baltimore and Ohio
station at Finleyville last night, but they
didn't make much of haul. j. j. Nc
Millen, the conductor, who happened to be
in the neighborhood, was suddenly seized,
and tied to post in a sawmill near by
Albert Mcneil, the operator, was covered
with several revolvers, and treated to the
same dose. The robbers took the watches
from the men and what little pocket money
they had.
Then the gang blew open the safe in the
station, but the money had been shipped to
Pittsburg early in the evening. The noise
of the explosion attracted the attention of q
freight crew, and the burglars fed. Mcneil
was soon found, suffering from severe ner-
vous shock. When McMillen was discov-
cred he was almost strangled from the gag
and ropes that had been wrapped around his
neck. Detectives are at work trying to
run down the thieves. The town is overrnn
with gang, and number of robberies
have been reported.

ers' Natural Gas Company are called upon
to record sorrowful sentiments on the death
of valued associate, on this occasion, its
esteemed late Vice President, Mr.. B. L.

As an official of this company, Mr. Wood
rendered signal service in its behalf, sparing
no pains to promote its vigor and prosper

WESTINGHOUSE A WINNER.

Tho Management Of the Union switch and
Signal Company In His Hands Again
He Forces One-sided Compromiss ON
the Opposition.
The much vaunted fight in the Union
Switch and Signal Company was fash in
the pan. 1t came off yesterday and resulted
in compromise in which George Westing-
house laid down in the trough and the op-
position contingent was left hanging on the
fence. 1t was thought that there would be
q greater fight than was made last year
when Rowand was on deck. E. II. Good
man, formerly of Boston, representing the
opposition, was reported to be in the lead,
but before the meeting Westinghouse
showed up clear majority of the stock and
a compromise was made by which Goodman
was given the place in the directory. w.
Scott F:tz, of Boston, was also put on. He
was made up as follows: George Westing-
house, Jr., A. NJ. Byers, Thomas Rodd,
Chief Engineer Pennsylvania Company; +.
H. Goodman, w. Scott Fitz, Boston; James
H. Wilcox, President of the Second
National Bank; William McConway, OF
McConway, farley & Co.
Another result of the compromise was
that President Goodman inserted in his re-
port the following paragraph as boom for
the compromise ticket:
Your board feels that they have assisted
very much toward placing the company on
good footing and that the stockholders
should be represented by q board, ma
jority selected from the gentlemen in our
midst, so that the management can have
the advice and cooperation Of board regu-
have attended this feature during the past
year.
When the polls were opened in the
Philadelphia Company's building only the
one ticket was presented, and "a 933 shares
voted for it out of the 27 ,546 shares. West
inghouse voted IA, 1873 shares and Goodman
6,596 shares. The new board will organize
tomorrow morning, when Westinghouse
will be elected President.
The report of President Goodman for the
last year shows that the change of manage
ment, caused by Rowand selling out, was
one Of the best things that has ever hap
pened to the company. 1t shows total
assets to be S2,O15, 422 81. The royalties
on patents were all wiped ont, and the
company given full possession of them.
The sale of the Garrison alley property was
also completed, and the balance due the
company was obtained. Owing to the de-
pressed condition of the railroads last year
the earnings were only S645, 23O IA, but for
the first two months of this year orders to
the amount of S473, 124 80 were secured.
This increase is attributed to the prepara-
tions for increased traffic to the Worlds
Fair.

THAT CENTRAL ASYLUM.
The Plans After Some Changes Will Again
Be Submitted to the Charity Board

The Plans After Some Changes viii Again
BE Submitted to the Charity Board.
James B. Scott went to Philadelphia last
evening to attend meeting of the Charity
Board. The object is to consider the plans
of the Central Asylum for the chronic in
sane. The architects submitted their re-
port week ago, but their scheme was on
too extensive scale, and they withdrew it
of their own accord. Mr.. Scott said the
plans provided for an extension of the
building. This is not satisfactory, as they
want the asylum to be complete when it is
finished.
Mr.. Scott then turned to the tin plate
business. He thinks the manufacturers
have not fulfilled their promises, and the
industry so far is a fzzle. He said it re-
quires $50, 900 tons of tin plate annually to
supply the demand of the United States,
and he wants to know how much of this the
American makers furnish after two years of
discussion. He added that the men in the
business refused to listen to suggestions,
and now they see where they are He
thinks if Democratic President is elected
that the tin plate duty will be repealed
