BROKE THE BROKER.

A Bulge In Corn squsexes Edward G.
Fletcher-His Of1ce Closed ana At
tachmsnts Issued-sevsral Spectators
Want Their Profits on Winning Deals.
Interesting developments resulted yester-
day from suit entered before Magistrate
Gripp the day previous by Thomas Barch-
field against A. B. McGrew, to recover on
an attachment for the contents Of an oil
brokers' Office on Fourth avenue. Mr.. Nc
Grew has been, since early in June, q clerk
in the Office of Edward @. Fletcher, who
came here and engaged in stock and grain
broking at about that time. Mr.. Fletcher
was handsome, had winning ways, dressed
like Chesterfield and impressed those with
whom he came in contact that he was not
only bright fellow, but young man who
had had considerable experience on Wall
street, whence he said he came.
When Fletcher came to Pittsburg he
seemed to be fairly well supplied with
money. In the Dallmeyer block, on Fourth
avenue, he opened an Office and engaged
McGrew as clerk. One day last week
when corn went away up Fletcher "went
short" on the market and in few
days lost all his money. Last Monday even
ing, after the close of business, he sold a
lot of ''puts" and "calls," and it is claimed
he must have known that he was going
away next day. At all events, he has not
been seen since. McGrew on Tuesday
morning did some trading as usual until he
learned of his employers disappearance,
when he closed up. Barchfeld, who had
been one of Fetcher's customers, entered
the suit, and constable was removing the
Office furniture when McGrew stopped him,
claiming that he owned the goods. There
are % other men in Barchfeld's position
who are now talking of suing McGrew,
claiming he was Fletcher's partner, which
McGrew denies, and the case will be heard
next Wednesday.
In the meantime efforts to find Fletcher
are being made He is said to be in Titus
vile endeavoring to raise money from his
father, who is alleged to be wealthy mer-
chant there, and that the young man will
return to settle with his numerous credi-
tors here, but the story is not generally be-
lieved.

Ex-District Attorney Gregg Tells OF His
Visit to Bedford.
Curtis a. Gregg, e1-District Attorney of
Westmoreland county, and one of the
bright young Democrats of his section, was
in Pittsburg yesterday. Mr.. Gregg had
just returned from pleasant visit to Bed
ford, where he had gone to recuperate
'I have just spent ten days of real pleas
ure," Mr.. Gregg said. "While at Bedford
I met my friend Governor Pattison and to-
gether we enjoyed most delightful visit
When I went to Bedford was rather in
clined to feel cold toward the Governor on
account of what seemed to me his juggling
with duty in regard to sending
troops to Homestead. But when we talked
the matter over and when the Governor
confded in me his religious regard for. the
Constitution and the laws of the State I
was confirmed in the belief that he was
right in every move he made. There is ab-
solutely no, use denying the fact
that Governor Pattison in his every off
cial act is prompted by his sterling
regard for the laws of the Commonwealth,
and regard him as one of the warmest and
most conscientious men within the limits of
my acquaintance. always liked the Gov
ernor," Mr.. Gregg concluded, ''but my
last visit with him has positively strength
ened my affection for him. am now sorry
he was not nominated for President"

no CONFERENCE TO BIZ HELD.
President Weihe and Secretary Jarret,
VIII Arrange the Jobbing Scale.

President Weihe and Secretary Jarrett
VIII Arrange the Jobbing Scale.
Notwithstanding the reports to the con-
trary there has only been one conference of
the iron and steel sheet manufacturers with
the jobbing rollers in their employ. This
meeting took place on the evening of July
26 and no agreement was reached At that
time the same sweeping reductions were
asked by the manufacturers in the jobbing
mills as in the other departments.
The rollers resisted the demands of their
employers very strenuously, and since the
meeting the manufacturers have not pressed
the claim for reductions. There are only
five firms in the country that run jobbing
mills where the iron and steel sheets are
rolled wider than 4S inches and from No
10 gauge upward. These are the only mills
affected by the dispute. The rollers en-
ployed, although very small number,
could prevent an entire mill from starting,
as most all the material must pass through
their hands. Then again the positions held
by the rollers are special ones and require
special training.
Secretary Jarrett, when asked If another
conference would be held yesterday, said:
sit is very probable that there will be no
more conferences of the jobbing mills. If
we don't meet that means that President
Weihe, of the Amalgamated Association,
and myself will arrange matters"

Labor Saving in Canned .,.oa.

1t appears that about forty years ago the
preserving of fruits and vegetables by way
of the Theoretically sealed can was an in
FAINT industry, practically all American
discovery. Cans were made entirely by
hand, with the crudest kind of tinsmitb
tools Three men could turn out over 100
cans each, or 300 per day. at . labor cost OF
So per l00 or 30 cents per dozen. boy
could carry them to the storehonse on his
back in two trips. Now, by the use of ma
chinery, three men will turn out 100000
better made cans in a day The cost is
thereby reduced to less than one cent pc,
dozen. This great output can scarcely h.
loaded onto two freight cars.
Twenty years ago corn was cnt from the
cob by hand at a cost of ten cents bushel
Two bushels in an hour for a boy was a
good average. Now, by the means of ont
simple machine, a boy will seventy five
bushels an hour and do much better work
Ten years ago peas were shelled by hand,
and the labor cost was from ten to fifteen
cents per gallon. Now there is machine,
which, attended by one man and two boys,
will shell as many peas as 500 women could
labor cost of less than one eighth of a cent
per gallon.
Twenty-Five years ago cans were filled
by hand. the cooking was done in the
crudest manner and the Gaping was
done by the use of the common soldering
iron Through improved facilities and
machinery, twenty-five hands out of every
twenty-five have been displaced at the
filling table, four out of every five have
been displaced in the cooking department
