FIRE IN A TIN PLANT.

Hamilton's Factory ON Third Avenue Re
ceives scorchinG-1he Loss Won't He
Moro Than q, 900, Though an EmpIoye
Puts IL at $4,000.
A fire broke out last night in the tin man.
ufactory of John Hamilton, successor to
Fleming & Hamilton, ON Third avenue be-
low Market street. An alarm was sent in
from station 13 at 1914 o'clock, and at IL
the fire was out, Notwithstanding it looked
at first as if the whole fve-story building
would 20, SO strong were the flames. The
building is five-story brick used for the
cutting, shaping and packing of tinware, and
on the fifth floor japanning plant is oper-
ated. In this fifth furnaces or ovens are used,
but the fire in them is extinguished every
evening at o'clock. The watchman of the
building, James Neal, was making round
about 10 o'clock, and on gaining the fifth
floor noticed the place full of smoke. He
ran to window on Third avenue and called
fire, and clerk at A. Terrence s drug store on
Market street pulled the fire alarm box.
The watchman ran down stairs to the street,
avenue side when he was on the fifth floor.
The flames, however, were confined to the
rear of that floor in the vicinity of the
furnaces, and above them the roof was
completely burned away.
The flames looked SO fierce that Fire Di-
rector Humphries sent in second alarm
when he arrived on the scene, and then an
alarm of three twos, calling out two addi-
tional districts, or three in all. A dozen
lines of hose were run up to the roof and
fifth floor of the building. Considerable
damage was done to the stock by water
flowing down through the lower floor.
The loss on the building and the
burning of the packages will not exceed
$4,000, although an employe of the firm
stated there were $50, 900 worth of stock on
the floor where the fire occurred. ALI of it
is covered by insurance.
A fire took place in the same building,
year ago last February, which was thoug ht
to have been incendiary. At that time the
watchman, Neal, alleged he had shot at
man he saw climbing out of window just
before the fire was discovered.

DIR, RANKIN ARRESTED.
John Mcclure Enters Suit Against Him
for Assault and Battery.

John Mcclure Enters Suit Against Him
for Assault and Battery.
There will be hearing in sensational
suit before Alderman McMasters next Mon
day. Yesterday, Dr. w. D. Rankin, of
Sandusky street, Allegheny, was arrested on
a charge Of aggravated assault and battery
and pointing fire arms. The information is
made BY John G. Mcclure, a stairbuilder,
who makes a curious charge against the
physician.
Mcclure says that about week ago he
traced his wife and DR.. Rankin to the East
End. He went to the place and asked for
Mrs. Mcclure. DR.. Rankin came to the
door, and he and Mcclure got into trouble,
during which, it is claimed, DR.. Rankin
struck his antagonist on the head with a
blunt instrument and threatened to shoot
him.
Mcclure is the gentleman whose wife
sued him some time ago for divorce on the
grounds of abuse and unfaithfulness. The
suit ended in favor of the defendant. Dr.
Rankin, it will be remembered, had trouble
with his own wife a few years ago, and
both played part in sensation at the

Henry Frior, who lives at McKee's
Rocks, was given hearing before Alder
man Madden yesterday on a charge of
cruelty and neglect preferred by Agent
Fisher. of the Anti-Cruelty Society. Frior
kicked and abused his wife and often turned
her and her two babies out of the house and
did not provide food for them. At the
hearing all of this was clearly proven and
other startling revelations were made that
led to another and very serious charge
being preferred against him. He was fined
$25 and costs and held for a hearing Satur-
day on the other charge.

Lou Waters Claims It Was Given Her as
Security for a Loan.
The whereabouts of the diamond that was
missing from "Sparrow" Hughes body
when 1t was found in the river was ex-
planned to the police yesterday by Lou
w alters, the woman with whom he had
been associated. She stated that he had
borrowed some money from her and gave
her the jewel as security. 1t is now in her
possession. 1t is not yet known whether
Hughes jumped or was pushed into the
river, statements on that point conflicting
greatly, but it will probably be developed
at the Coroner's inquest tomorrow.
The funeral of the deceased yesterday was
affecting. Among those who attended was
his sister. nun at the Sister of Mary Con-
vent at Latrobe. Her grief was pitiful and

Agent Mcdonald Charges q southside
Woman With Cruelty.
One of the saddest cases of cruelty that has
been brought to light for some time was
developed on the Southside last night.
Mrs. Thomas Riley is in the Twenty-eighth
ward station house on charge of cruelty,
the information being made by Agent Nc
Donald, of the Anti-Cruelty Society. Her
four children are also in custody and will
be taken in charge by the society. 1t is
alleged that for several weeks Mrs Riley has
been abusing her children most shamefully.
A few nights ago one of the neighbors is
said to have seen her kick one of the small
est of the four and throw it violently
against wall. One of them, a little girl,
perhaps 10 years of age, when she was
brought to the station house last night, had
one of her ears almost torn off, and ap-
peared as though she had been starved tor

Puddlers Arc Prepared to Fight.
In conversation with several delegates
after the Conference Committee meeting in
the Ferguson block yesterday the informa-
tion was CLEANED that any reduction on the
puddlers' rate would not be tolerated. A
puddler in the crowd said: "When every
thing is settled between the manufacturers
and the Amalgamated Association the
wages of the puddlers will be about
the same as in the past year. In
this department $500 pounds of
pig metal are turned out every day
at each furnace for which the workmen
receive Sc a. In the winter this money is
divided between two men, and in the sum-
mer, when an extra hand is generally en-
ployed at each furnace, the amount received
by the men is much smaller. Therefore, it
can readily be seen that If there is any re-
duction in this department the puddlers
will not be able to make even living wages.
IT reduction does finally occur the men
affected will no doubt be the rollers and
hard and. they are subject to constant
danger, they can better afford decrease in
their salaries than the puddlers.
Manager d. B. Oliver. of the Oliver Iron
and Steel Company, when asked in reference
to yesterdays 3 meeting, said: ''The session
was an amicable one I cannot give any
details because the situation has now reached
such stage that it is better not to say any
thing. However, the Conference Com
mittee of the Amalgamated Association
have our scale in their possession and will
report to us when they have given it proper
consideration"
When informed of what the puddlers had
said in reference to the reduction in the
wages of the rollers and fnishers, Mr.
Oliver intimated that as far as he knew
there would have been no decrease in the
pay OF the puddler if the rollers and finish
ers had been willing to work for less, and
he added: eyes, 1t is very true that some
of the workmen engaged upon the rolls aud
in the finishing department draw very
large salaries and they could afford to stand
a reduction, but such a statement would
have more weight coming from puddler
than it would from me-"

Wages to BE Cut Ton Per Cent,

S. Smith, Superintendent of the Illinois
Steel Mill, presided. 1t didn't take the
makers long to come to this conclusion.
They complained that business is dull. and
that the reduction is necessary. One of the

he could stand the cut without feeling it
