FUN WITH A DUMMY.
The Sport Which Mt. Troy Boys Had With
Street Car.

The Sport Which Mt. Troy Boys Had With
Street Car.
Some Of the boys on Mt. Troy had great
deal of tun last Saturday evening. They
made stuffed man, said to have been very
life-like, and threw 1t into cellar excava-
tion. Watchman Hilte was told that a
man had committed suicide in the cellar
and he was badly scared until he found out
the facts Then he was mad, and hurled
the dummy into vacant lot. The boys
gathered it up, and laid it upon the track
of the Pleasant Valley line. Twice car
went over it, and twice motorman and
many passengers were badly scared. On
the third perpetratlon OF the joke the
dummy was caught up into the running
gear and. played havoc with the motor.
The car was not only stopped, but SO dis
abled that it had to be drawn back to the
end of the line by the next car which came
along. The boys were delighted and
scurried away in high glee.
Delight was yesterday changed to weep
ing when young John Beck, said to be the
leader in the frolic, was arrested and taken
before Alderman McKelvey, on charge of
disorderly conduct. The information was
made by Assistant Superintendent w. H.
Foster, of the Pleasant Valley line. 1t be-
ing desired to arrest number of Beck's as
sociates, the case was continued until Fri
day morning. The boys belong to good
families on the Mount, and their parents
will probably settle the damage.

GOMPERS TAKES A HAND.

He Calls on the Secretary of the Treasury
to Sec the Alien Contract Labor Law Is
Enforced-Neclares Too Many Foreign
ers Are Being Landed for Shipment
Via Chicago to Homestead.
NEW YORK, July 19.-President Comp
ers, of the American Federation of Labor,
mas sent the following letter to Secretary of
the Treasury, Foster:
Hon. Charles Foster, Secretary of Treasury,
Washington, ID. c.:
DEAR SIR Information of the most
authentic character has reached me that
within the past ten days the number of iron
and steel workers who have arrived in this
country from various parts has been
entirely in excess of those
who have arrived at any time in years past
Inasmuch as there is a labor difficulty in the
iron and steel industry at Homestead, Pa,
it seems more than q coincidence.
Most of those who arrive give Chicago as
their place of destination. but it has been
stated to me that immigrants land in New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, go to
Chicago, and are held there in expectation
of being shipped to Homestead to take the
ers engaged in controversy with Carnegie,
Phipps & Co.'s concern
In conversation to-day with one who has
opportunities Of observation learned that
there are not a sufficient number of men
earnestly devoted to the enforcement
of the alien contract labor law on
duty at Ellis Island, and since
discretionary powers, trust you will in
crease the force now stationed at this port
of entry for the enforcement OF a law en-
acted to prevent the American wage
worker from the cupidity of avaricious en-
ployers,
Should you feel inclined to acceptmy offer,
/ shall esteem 1t a pleasure to detail one or
two men TO aid in the enforcement of the
law. SAMUEL GoMPERs,
President American Federation OF Labor,

TINE TO SETTLE

For Number of East End improvements
Property Holders-Leaving Letters in
Vacant Lots-Paymsnts Already Com.
ing In.
The City Treasurer will on Monday next
be ready to receive the assessments for the
grading, paving and curbing of Tiogs, Ru-
raj, Howe, Copeland and Westminster
streets The papers were placed in his
hands yesterday, and it will require three
or four days to enter them in the official
books, after which collections will begin
and continue for 50 days from yesterday.
A peculiar point in connection with the
curative act, under which the cost of the
above improvements is to be collected, is
that the notices to property holders may
not be sent by mail. They must be deliy-
cred by messengers or clerks in all cases to
the property assessed, even if it is n vacant
lot, and the clerk must be in a position to
make affidavit to the exact date of delivery
as we'll as to the person to whom he handed
the notice. In the case of a vacant lot the
law requires no more than the placing of
the notice on the ground, though as this
would in many cases be a silly proceeding,
the clerks at the Treasurer's Office are en-
deavoring to locate the owners and giving
them notice by mail Where . property is
occupied by tenant the notice is served on
the tenant and the risk of the owner get
ting it is on the owner himself.
The collection of the Thirty-third street
sewer assessments is progressing rapidly,
and the notices are being delivered as fast
as possible. Many Of those who have been
assessed are not waiting for their notices,
but greatly to the relief of the Treasurer are
calling at his Office and paying their assess
ments ct once.

A UNION MAN on TRIAL
The Homestead Affair Makes It Difficult
Get n Jury in n Murder Case

The Homestead Affair Makes It Difficult TO
Get q Jury in n Murder Case.
NEW YORK, July 19.-[Special ]-Charles
Reilly was put on trial to-day in the gen.
eral sessions for murder in the first degree
in clubbing James Kelly to death on June
II, 1891. There was a strike in Olcott's
woodward. G. Reilly was one of the
strikers. Kelly was a non-union man and
he set out to apply for work at the wood
yard. Reilly endeavored to dissuade him.
A quarrel resulted and Reilly dubbed
Kelly, killing him.
In the examination of the jurors to-day
Assistant District Attorney Mcintyre, the
prosecutor, and Reilly's counsel carefully
excluded any juror who had any prejudice
either for or against trades unions or men,
bers of unions. The four jurors who were
accepted said that they had read of the
Homestead strike, but had formed no opin-
ions that would affect them in the consider
alton of the charges against Reilly as q
union man. The trial will 60 on to-mor-
row.

Troops at Cpur d'Alene Arc on the Lookout
for Union Invaders.
BOISE, IDAHO, July 19.-Warrants for
the arrests Of the leaders of the Ceur
d'Alene riots were issued this afternoon.
The men will probably be brought to Boise

ward. The offense charged is the violation
OF the injunction issued out of the Circuit
Court
Reports that the miners were coming into
Wallace from Montana, armed and resolved
to assist union miners in Ceur d'Alene,

direction to check any such attempt. Gen
eral Carlin and staff, with three companies,
arrived at Wallace at IL A. NJ Colonel
Page, commanding, has been under arms
and ready to move at mo-
ment's notice. Saltez, Mont. is the objec-
tive point of the inuading miners. Captain
Bubb, with three companies, marched to
Summit last night from Gem, and holds the
trail leading from Saltez The leader of
this movement is man named Breen, who
is President of the Butte Union. Requisi-
tlon papers have been sent to the Governor
of Montana. and it is thought he will soon

ELECTRICITY'S WORK.

A Broken Telephone Wire Crosses q Trolley
and In Its Coils a Boy Is Frightfully
Burned-A Heroic Teamster's Bravery
in Rescuing the First Victim.
Boyish heroism of an unusual character
marked the act OF Thomas Mcintyre, q
youth Of 10, in Drawing almost certain death
to rescue lad of IL years from the coils Of
telephone wire heavily charged with cleo
tricity.
The accident was remarkable one, and
by it the child will be crippled and the
youth SCARED for life.
A telephone wire fell from its fastenings
onto the trolley wire of the Charles street
electric car near the head of the street. In
some manner the telephone wire broke from
several poles and in sagging fell in coil in
the street, forming a current of terrible
force from the trolley wire. Little Jacob
Peters, Fastening upon an errand, tried to
jump over the wire, but in so doing his bare
foot was caught and the ensuing shock rem
dered him powerless to move. His screams
summoned large number of people, but
none of the bystanders made any attempt to
extricate the tortured boy and they watched
the tender flesh being burned, each waiting
1or another to rescue the lad.
Thomas Mcintyre, driver for Jacob
Miller, brick manufacturer, was coming
down the street in his cart when he saw the
boys deadly position. He jumped to the
ground and shouting reproach at the on
lookers'for their inactivity, sprang to the
boys assistance. Sparks of electricity were
emitted from the wires, but young Mcintyre
valiantly caught hold of the boy. The
transmitted current was of such force that
he was thrown distance of several feet
from the spot Somewhat dazed, but none
the less brave, he returned, and while the
wire circled around and struck him, each
time burning his flesh, succeeded at last in
jerking the lad from his terrible position.
Both were removed to the Allegheny
General Hospital, where their wounds were
dressed. McIntyre's hand was burned to
crisp and trightful wound extends from
the temple to the chin, where the flesh has
been burned to the bone. The Peters boy
was badly burned about the legs His right
leg was laid open from the knee to the
ankle, and a circular wound burned to the
bone is upon his left leg. The physicians
say both will recover.

ENTERTAIN LITTLE FEAR.

The Workmen of the Upper and Lower
Union Mills Do Not Think Their Places
Will Be Taken by Non-Union Hands.
Notwithstanding that fires are burning In
all the furnaces at the Upper and Lower
Union Mills the old workers show no signs
of alarm; In fact, they are more confident OF
success than ever The headquarters OF
the Union Mills men are established in
Union Hall, Thirty-second street and Lib
erty avenue, and the leaders have perfected
a system similar to one in vogue at Home
stead to guard against surprise and prevent
non-union men being smuggled into the
mills
From among the idle men several COM
mittees have been selected, one Of which,
the Investigation Committee, has probably
the most important duties to fulfill. This
body is divided into two sections, one
working day and the other during the
night The condition of affairs at the mill,
so far as can be learned from a distance, is
practically unchanged. Day laborers and
fnishers are still at work, out not in such
numbers as when the men went out week
ago.
One of the leaders In conversation last
evening said: ''It is true that there are
quite number of men working in the mills,
but instead of the force being increased, it
has diminished. Just as soon as the stock
is cleared up they will come out, as there
will be nothing further for them to do, un-
less non-upion workmen are secured. Of
this, however, we entertain very little fear.
We have every reason, notwithstanding
contradictory statements, to believe that
the men are growing more stanch every
day. We have heard of no non-union men
in our midst nor do we fear the coming of
any, and, what is more, we firmly believe
the company will be unable to fill our
places
'In case non-union men are sent to fill
our places no violence will be attempted
on them or the company's property dam
aged. We will, of course, try to persuade
them from going to work and induce them
to return home. If this fails-welA that's
about all we can do. This is not a war
where the lives of our enemies or the prop
erty of our former employers are in jeop-
ardy, but merely battle of morals"

citation at Homestead, and if he succeeds
the smallest ones will be broken down at q
time afterwards.
The statement then speaks Of the charge
of breaking the contract by refusing to
work after the firm had signed the scale,
and disclaims. that the scale was contract to
60 to work at any specified time. It
cited case Of two years ago when the scale
was signed by the merchant bar mills
at Beaver Falls, but within three
weeks after the company without
any fault of the Association, closed down
the mills and they have never been run
since. The question OF breaking contract
was never mentioned at that time.
The men are still on guard and every
stranger passing is subject to the closest
scrutiny for the men. No trouble was ap-
pretended last night and the mills were
dark and gloomy.

AN OIL MAN ARRESTED.

william Peters Accused of Misrepresenting
His Financial Sofidlfy.
A few days ago, before Alderman Braun,
of Allegheny, A. G. Ruby, merchant Of
Oakdale, sued William j. Peters for $3.50,
the value of goods which Peters was alleged
to have bought on credit from Ruby. A
constable was sent out to levy on an oil we'll
which Peters was believed to own in the
Mcdonald field. The officer found that the
well belonged to another man, and that
Peters only property was lot of drilling
tools which had been lost in the we'll. The
constable was not in the fishing business and
did not levy. Yesterday Peters was ar
rested on q criminal prosecution, Ruby al
leging that the goods had been secured on
claim that Peters owned a well. Peters was
arraigned before Alderman Braun and gave
bail for hearing on Wednesday, July q.

Dogs and Their Rights,

At the meeting of Allegheny Councils
tomorrow evening, the Mayors veto of the
dog license ordinance will be received.
From the talk of councilmen, the opinion of
the city solicitor, that dogs cannot be killed
by the city, will cause considerable debate.
Dog fanciers are invited to attend. Few of
the councilmen agree with Mr.. Elphinstone,
and there is bare possibility that the ordi-
nance will pass notwithstanding the veto of
tho MaYor.

Trip Tickets to Homestead on the Little
Steamer Tide.
The Carnegie Steel Company has
adopted a new method for the employment
of non-union men to take the places of the
locked-out workers at Homestead. Instead
OF sending the new hands by trains in small
squads, they have prepared plan whereby
non-union workmen can be engaged by the
hundred and taken within few yards of
the gate. The firm has issued a pass
which they are giving out in large numbers
to anyone who applies for a position,
whether heNbe clerk, mechanic, steel and
iron worker or laborer
This pass is good only upon the steamer
Tide, which will, just as soon as the new
system is put in perfect working order,
make three trips daily. A fac simile of
the ticket is given below:
