gentlemen are Vice Presidents Of this So

In speaking last night of the work Of the
Union Mr.. Mccullough said: "During the
past year its missionaries organized 1,es0
new Sunday schools. in places hitherto en-
ttrely destitute of religious privileges, con-
tanning 70675 scholars and teachers. Aid
was given to 2,06S other schools with 139, l25
members: and besides this, schools that had
been previously reported, were again aided
in 5,o69 instances with 249, $50 scholars and
sionaries distributed by sale s and 1 gift 1T ls
Bibles and Testaments. They also made
49, 460 visits to families for religious CONVEX
sation and prayer. and delivered A0S pub
lic addresses. Between 1000 and 5000 per-
sons were converted in connection with the
evangelistfc services conducted by these
earnest men. One hundred and thirty
churches developed from schools previously
organized by them.
"Competent authorities estimate there are
now 10000 Protestant Sunday schools in the
United States OF this number, the records
show that the American Sunday School
Union has organized 50, $50, which Is II, $50

ENTOMBED In THE RUINS.

The Petrined Limb of q Woman Is Dug
From tho Debris at Old Central Sta
tion-How 1t Came There a Complete
Mystery.
One of the men engaged in tearing down
the old Central station was Mortified yester-
day afternoon when his pick struck the
bones of leg. His grimy face turned a
deathly pale and his voice forsook him.
The petrified relic of no doubt once
beautiful member was found underneath q
slab, about 20 feet from the rear, on the
lower side of the old station. The walls had
been pulled down, and the bricks were
strewn all over the floor. On the end of
this particular slab an unusually large pile
OF bricks had fallen, and they had broken
the end of the stone When the debris was
cleared away a hole, about a loot square,
was left, and in this cavity the
bones were found. 1t could be
seen that there was quite a large recess un-
der the slab but it WAS impossible to see
into it. As soon as the dirt is cleared away
the slab will be lifted and no doubt the rest
of the human body will be found.
The DISPATCH reporter tried to make the
boss in charge OF the pen believe that
portions OF human bodies, as a general
thing, were not found floating around loose.
This man declared he had torn down numer-
Gus buildings and it was not an uncommon
thing to lind bones. He was urged to re-
move the slab, but fatty refused to do it.
The limb was examined by number OF
professional men, and the concerted opinion
is that it was a part of the skeleton of a
lady, presumably about % years OF age. 1t is
that part OF the limb from the knee down.
A part of the skin, hardened and dry, still
ciings to the toes.
How it came there is a mystery. There
was no cellarway under that part OF the sta
ton, and how the limb, or maybe whole
skeleton, came there is unsolvable.

AFTER THE COUNTY PRINTER.

It Is Claimed He Is Not Giving Union
Offices . Show.
The Union printers OF Pirtsburg are after
County Printer W. P. Bennett. They think
he gives too much of the printing to:non-
union Offices The matter first came up u
few days ago, when the tickets for the Nc
KEGS Rocks election went to a non-union
firm. The printers then thought they
would try to capture the tickets for the
Allegheny mayoralty election. A COM
mfttee from the union waited on the County
Commissioners and were kindly received.
President Acklin, who is well acquainted
with what transpired, has this to say.
"The committee found that Mr.. Bennett
had contract, good for year, for furnish
ing all of the county printing, His agree
ment is good until July or August. This
bars us from receiving anything at present.
Mr.. Bennett does not have print shop Of
his own. but lets his work out.
''The Commissioners treated our commit
that they would do all in their power to
have Mr.. Bennett give the union offices a
show"
The printers have sent out eight men this
week who were working in non-union
offices. I'VE have started them to guessing
again." said Mr.. Acklin. ''and our strike is
booming. just now there is a fight going
on between the greater and lesser lights Of
the Typothete, and II this can be kept up
the strike will not last much longer. The
larger offices promised to help the smaller
ones. but they are not doing It, so there is
dissatisfaction"

AN INCREASE IN BUSINESS

Causes . False Alarm Among Lawrence
vile Millworkers.
The insertion OF an advertisement in the
daily papers OF yesterday by the Phoenix
Roll Works, asking for rollturners, caused a
slight eruption among the Lawrenceville
millworkers, and rumor was started that a
general strike would take place at the Phoe-
nix works. 1t was stated that there was
trouble among the rollturners and it would
cause general strike among the men en-
ployed.
A DISPATCH reporter called at the Phoenix
Roll Works, on Forty-frst street, but every
thing was perfectly quiet, and the foreman
denied that there was any prospects Of a
the firm, said tnat all was harmony among
the men and there had been no trouble
in the mill for the past six years, and the ad-
vertisement called for more men because of
an increase of business.

BOTH SIDES STUBBORN.
Bricklayers and Bosses Are as Yet
No Nearer an Agreement.
ARBITRATION Is NOW SUGGESTED
Printers File Objections to Nom Union Made
Ballots.
THE NEWS OF TIE BIG LABOR WORLD

The official report of last Tuesdays con-
ference between the striking bricklayera
and the bosses has not yet been published,
and the public are growing impatient for a
settlement, as the building interests
threaten to become seriously damaged by
its continuance, if not entirely stopped.
A member OF the strikers committee who
attended Tuesdays conference, was seen
yesterday by DISPATCH reporter and a
report Of the meeting was detailed to him.
The joint committee Of masters and strik-
were well prepared as tar Is strong argu-
ments went, and were fully determined to
hold their own. A sharp discussion was
started and feeble effort was made to set
tie the difficulty in way that would
be satisfactory to both parties, but
the majority refused to concede to
that arrangement and waited for those Of
the other side to give way. Neither side
would do this and, after three hours
controversy, the conference was broken up,
the difficulty being as far from settlement
as ever 1t was.
"What do the bricklayers intend to do
now7" asked the reporter. "They will have
to give in soon, as they can't hold out for
ever"
"Oh, that is all right" answered the Of
hcial. 1.-THE strikers are as determined to
hold out as ever they were, and as for sup
port there are 65, 900 men supplying the funds
to carry on tho strike, and we are perfectly
capable to hold out for another II months
yet"
when will the official report of the con-
ference be given out?"
II don't know, but 1 expect that it will be
issued by next Tuesday"
The striking bricklayers held q meeting
yesterday afternoon in their hall on Fifth
avenue. The conference was talked over,
and another conference will be asked for as
early as possible. The men expressed q
wish that speedy termination to the strike
should be made, and many schemes were
projected whereby the bosses would have to
give way. About 20 bricklayers were present,
among others several of the conference
committee, and when the meeting was over
they all were as resolute in holding their
own rs at the commencement Of the strike.
A meeting of the bosses will be held next
Monday afternoon in the Builders Exchange
to discuss the present situation of the strike,
and date will most likely be fixed for an
other conference.
1t has been suggested that failing an ar
between the strikers and bosses, the services
OF arbftrators should be used as means of
settling the dispute. Several members of
the exchange. however. strongly condemn
such proceeding, as the result would be
sure to give dissatisfaction to one, II not
both parties concerned, and the trouble
would still be unsettled

answer the same purpose when the time
comes"
Have you no receipt for even the 500
payments"
Not a regular receipt, but we have papers
that will answer just as well. or course, we
need only to explain that at the proper time
and to the proper persons. 1t is q private
matter The reason we did not bother about
receipts and Other formalities was that we
knew Gamble Weir to be an honest
man. would have staked my
life on him for honesty, and had
he not been taken away SO suddenly,
we would soon have had our house paid for
and the deed in our possession. / don't
know what We will be able to do about it
now. Possibly we will lose the place and
the money we have paid, too"
The only question that Mrs. Marsh abso-
lutely refused to answer was one relating to
her employment as a janitress. She said she
had received $l6 per month for cleaning and
attending to two rooms in the Second Ma
tional Bank building, at the corner Of Ninth
and Liberty streets, but had quit that work
when she moved to her present home. When
asked whose rooms she had been paid for
cleaning, she said they were rooms of two
gentlemen, but she would not say who they
were,

ioned single flange machine now in use all
over the country. The box is called the
Mitchell Ehrlen patent eyebeam annealing
with crab to almost full circle and the
flanges riveted together. The box is more
durable than the old style one, being more
heavily built and able to stand the heat
better. 1t Is expected that it will be soon
used in all the sheet iron mills in the
country,

tariff question is free raw materials. He
claims the great monopolists Of the land
should insist on such an arrangement if
they have any regard for the people to come

raw materials would start up numerous
small factories in every industry. The ten
dency to combination would then be impos-
sible, and the workmen would be benefited.
