Robert @. Ingersoll, always a patriot, il
averaa to q war under thu existing condi-
tions. He believes that arbitration will
give us ample reparation and will do us
complete justice. He refers especially to
the present attitude Of tho Chilian officials
in this city and in Washington and to their
continued and reiterated assertions Of a
friendly feeling for Americans on tho part
of Chilians.
In fact, this is emphasized by this articles
from the pen Of Deputy ricardo Trumbull
and Ex-Msyor William II. Grace, pub
lished herewith. Mr.. Ingersoll further be-.
lieves that we certainly did show IN I'M

Mr.. William r.. Grace, talking about tbs
Gillian trouble, highly commended the atti-
tude of MIR. Blaine, saying that the score
tary had always been for arbitration In the
matter. and he did not think his stand had
been modified in the least since the begin
ming of the imbroglio. 1t was simply a
manly attitude throughout.
George r. Middleton, secretary Of the old
Balmauedn legation in Washington, gave
out soms rather startling information. He
asserts now that tho connection of certain
American officials in Chill with Ralmace-
dan government contracts WAS known to
every attaohe at the embassy, and that even

STILL COMING BACK.

The Employees of the Pittsburs, Allegheny
and Manchester Traction Company
Have Been Reinstated to the Number OF
2S-Same Schedule in Vogue.
The report yesterday afternoon that Is of
the striking employees of the Manchester
street railway, who had been taken back
Saturday, had refused to go to work yester-
day morning is untrue, and seems to have
been ''faked" for purpose. Last night
Dispatcher Dougherty showed a DISPATCH
reporter list of the employees of the road.
1t showed that at the present time there
were % of the strikers back at work. He
said not man was discharged or quit the
company's employ in any way all day yes
terday or Sunday. Several of the old men
applied for reinstatement last night.
Yesterday the company got its schedule
ready for use. 1t is exactly like the one the
men struck on, with the exception there
are more straight runs and trippers than
before The trippers get 20 cents trip,
and get eight runs per day. The men who
get the trippers are the ones who are on the
extra list, and they are changed each week.
In some cases the trippers can and do make
$12 60 a week. The regular men get 81 %
per day.
The men on the Western avenue branch
are allowed So minutes and on the Rebecca
line AZ minutes for meals. The Union line
men get &c minutes.

AN AWFUL COLLISION AvERTED.

From Total Destruction.

Homer McGaw Saves the Cleveland Express
From Total Destruction.
A terrible collision on the Lake Erie
Railroad was narrowly averted at Saw Mill
Run station yesterday morning. A freight
wreck had occurred on the west-bound
track and the Charters accommodation on
its way to the city had been switched over
to the other track to get around the wreck.
A number of persons were waiting for the
accommodation, which was due at o'clock,
when the Cleveland express whistle was
heard. The danger of the situation became
apparent to all The freight crew had
neglected to send out fagmen and the two
heavily-laden passenger trains were ap-
preaching each other at full speed on the
same track.
Homer McGaw, editor of the West End
Ne1rs, was the first to realize the situation.
He started on a run down the track and,
waving his arms like windmill, succeeded
in attracting the attention of the engineer
of the express train. The lever was re-
versed and air brakes applied with the
train at full speed A brakeman had run
to stop the accommodation train. Through
the efforts of these two men the two trains
were brought to standstill within Is feet
of each other. The sudden stoppage of the
express train scared the passengers and
several ladies tainted when they realized
their escape from danger.

The Taxpayers Association of the Twen-

200 people present. DIR. H. L. Reinecke
presided, and George A. Kambach acted as

ests of their constituents.

witnesses had testified Several similar
cases were cited where two or three wit
nesses had testified against a number of de-
PENDANTS and cumulative witness fees were
exacted.
Mr.. Robb conducted the cross-examlna-
tion. No new features were brought out,
and Mr.. Robb personally made it brief, as
he wanted Mr.. Hunneshagen for the de-
fense later on.
After submitting a number of blotter doc
uments. showing the entries upon which
the extortion is based, the prosecution
rested
Mr. Bennett opened for the defense. He
said it would be shown that the custom OF
entering separate cases against each defend
ant had been followed for years. The law
does not permit the work to be done In any
other way. He also said the defense would
prove that the Mavor's books are in the
hands of clerk, who keeps record Of all
cases, collects all witness fees and turns the
money over to the city authorities. He
claimed that if any irregularities appeared
in the dockets the clerk was responsible
for them, and the Mayor could not be held
responsible for what ne knew nothing
about
The Mayors Club again.
Mr.. Hunneshagen was then placed on the
stand and testified to the manner IN which
entries are made. The turnkey or captain
of the night watch always enters the name
of the defendant, the time and place of
arrest aud name of the arresting officer.
The clerk does the rest. This custom has
been followed for many years. The name
of each defendant is entered separately no
matter how many are arrested TOR the same
offense.
The ordinance creating the office of
mayors clerk was submitted to show that
he was a properly qualified officer to attend
to the work under his charge.
Chief Murphy was called.
Mr. Robb-You are the Chief of the De-
partment of Public Safety, believe?
Chief Murphy-Yes sir.
Mr. Kobb-The j. o. Brown, of Allie
gheny.
Mr. Murphy said he had been connected
with the police department in Allegheny
for IL years, and he knew the custom of
making entries and charging up witness
fees to be the same as described by Mr..
Hunneshagen during all that time.
Ex-Chief Kirschler testified that the same
custom had been in vogue during his term
of office.
John Glenn, the detective, corroborated
the testimony of the former witnesses.
Court then adjourned until $3.50 O'Clock
this morning

Tho Oil Well Supply Company Asks for the
Epjoinment of Its Employees.
Attorney w. f. McCook, representing
the Oil Well Supply Company, yesterday
filed bill in equity in Common Pleas No.
2, in behalf of the company against F.
Cook, j. Mccarthy, NJ. Mckinley, j. Ober-
ly, P. Carney, j. Horgan, J. Coyne and
F. Flocke.
The plaintiff, it is stated, owns 10
acres in the Twenty-third ward, on which
its works are located. On February 4, the
defendants and others assembled in crowds
about the works for the purpose of prevent
ing the operation of the works. Since then
they have continued to assemble and have
assaulted John Bendernagle, John Collins
and others of the plaintiffs employees and
have threatened to prevent any employees
going to and from the works.
The plaintiff, it is stated, has applied to
the police powers of the city for dispersal
of these crowds, but their requests have
been either refused or ignored. The court
was therefore asked to grant an injunction
restraining the defendants from gathering
about the works and committing unlawful
acts.
The Court granted preliminary injunc-
tion, fixing February 13 for a hearing.

This far with her and then Joined Mr.. Bryan
last evening. The Indiana Congressman is
Chairman of the River and Harbor Commit
tee. He said they were going to South
Bend on private business.
s'The withdrawal of Blaine, "Mr. Shivelv
remarked, 'means the inevitable renomina-
zion of Harrison. There is no escape for it,
and the Democrats are happy. Blaine's
letter was about the only thing talked about
when 1 left Washington in the morning.
As for the Democratic outlook l am against
both Cleveland and Hill. 1 think if Hill
gets the delegation in New York that Cleve-
land will be shelved. The balance of the
country will not support him unless he has
the backing of his own State. Hill mas a
good record, and 1 can see no reason why he
should not have the confidence of the Dem
ocrats at large, but or this subject am not
very well informed"
The conversation was then turned to
Speaker Crisp. He said the people who
rallied at him were those who had fallen
outside of the breast works. He saw
nothing during the Speakership fight to in
dicate that Crisp had made deal with Hill
while Villas, Dickinson and other mem
bers of Cleveland's Cabinet worked openly
for the election of Mills. He said that in
spite of the Speakers illness the House has
made good progress, and nobody has any
cause for complaint.

UNCLE SAM STEPS IN.

He Stops the City From Dumping Refuse
Into the River-The Mayor of Milwaukee
Finds This Out While Here Inspecting
the Garbage Furnace.
Mayor Peter j. Somers, DR.. Y. o. B.
Wingate and City Engineer George II.
Benzenberg, all of Milwaukee, Wis, were
registered at the Duquesne yesterday.
The gentlemen were here inspecting the
citv's garbage furnace The party was seen
late last night, and Mayor Somers, acting as
spokesman for the party, said:
"We are an extremely clean people in
Milwaukee, but have great deal of dirt
and no fit way of disposing of it. The city
has sent us to inspect the different furnaces
in the East We have already visited De-
troit, Buffalo, Atlantic City and your city.
Tomorrow morning we go to st. Louis, and
will stop at Des Moines and Chicago before
we go home.
sT cannot say that I like the Pittsburg
system, as they are now throwing the city's
refuse into the river, much to the annoyance
of the people living along the water below,
1 think. I heard, though, to-day that this
would have to stop, as the Government
had issued an order to that effect.
You have good furnace here,
but for some reason it is not being used
just now. 1t would not do for our city,
however, as it only burns two tons day,
and in Milwaukee we have 80 tons daily.
The city gathers it all, employing so teams
each day. Of the plants we have just seen,
we were most favorably impressed with
those at Buffalo and Atlantic City"
The Mayor then branched off onto politics
long enough to say: 81 am sorry Pittsburg
is a Republican city, it is such pushing,
energetic place in other respects. 1 see
Blaine has withdrawn and now l would
think the Republicans cannot help but try
to re-elect President Harrison, if they
carry out the party's precedent. He has
made a good President and is popular
man in Michigan"

The committee granted them quarters in
the basement, and referred to the Committee
on Lectures the matter of making the neces-
sarv alterations. The proposition from Mr..

making alterations, so there may be a room
for the use of students to consult the refer
ence books, was accepted and vote of

Pleased With the Tax Conference.

Ex-senator j. w. Lee, of Franklin, left
for New York last evening to look after
some business for the Producers Associa-
tion. He was present at the recent tax
conference in Harriburg. He said the tax
problem is hard one to solve, but he
thinks as the various interests in the State
were we'll represented and a good feeling
was manifested all around, that something
will be accomplished. The committees ap-
pointed will report in june. The Senator
says the oil men are always willing to paw
their share of the taxes He thinks the
poor should be relieved of the burdens of
taxation as much as possible.
