TO ADJUST THE SCALE.

---s
The Carnegies at Homestead Ask tho
AmaIgamated Association to Take Inn
mediate Actfon-A Departure From "A
Policy Heretofore Strictly Adhered To.
The Carnegie, Phipps & Co., at Home
stead, have made departure from their
policy, in the fact that the Amalgamated
Association has, been called upon and con-
suited as to the adjustment of the scale to
take effect next July. 1t was stated errone-
ously that an entirely new scale was to be
made, but this is not the case.
1t is merely an adjustment of the old
scale, which will be beneficial to both the
mills and the men. Last Thursday mem-
bers of eight different lodges were sum-
moned by the company, and proposition
was made them to appoint scale commit
tee to expedite the matter as speedily as
possible This is requested in order that
the Carnegie agents may be sent out to take
orders four months in advance. The propo-
sition was received with due consideration,
but without any expression of opinion.
Both sides, however, seem favorable to
the scheme, as it means prosperity to the
town of Homestead. 1t was learned late
last night that several of the committees
had agreed to take immediate action, and it
is thought all will be in line during the
coming week. .

LODGERS TURNED OUT.
A Fire in a'Fifth Ave nuc Restaurant Causes
Great Excitement.

A Fire in a'Fifth Ave nuc Restaurant Causes
Great Excitement.
The restaurant of Charles E. Drumm, No
167 Fifth avenue, was completely gutted by
fire shortly after o'clock last night. The
fire originated in the kitchen, it is pre-
sumed, from an overheated stove, and the
blaze had very fair start before it
was discovered. When the fremen
reached the scene the flames
had eaten into the restaurant and were so
fierce that it looked as though the entire
building, a three-story brick, would be con-
sumed. Good work by the department kept
the fire down to the first floor and in a short
time it was e1tinguished
The upper part of the building was occu-
pied by Miss Thompson as lodging
house, and at the time the fire broke
out a number of dodgers were
in their rooms The fire had cut off all exit
by the stairway, so that those in the build
ing had to be taken down the fire escape.
Among them was very feeble old man,
who could not assist himself, and had to be
carried down by the fremen. The rescuing
of the people caused intense excitement
among the large crowd congregated to wit
ness the fire. The upstairs portion of the
house was not damaged except by water.
The entire loss will reach about $1,000,
which is partly covered by insurance. The
building is owned by the Rafferty, heirs

last evening. His escape was soon
discovered, and the officers searched
every nook and corner, but failed to find
him. 1t then developed that Miller has Sc

The High School Is Chilly.

Complaint is made that pulmonary disease
is being generated in the Pittsburg High
School these days to an extent to make it a
matter for very serious consideration. There
is something wrong with the heating
machinery The building is heated by
steam, but it does not appear to be case of
insufficient supply, as young lady in at
tendance, who is now gasping for breath,
states that in some rooms they are obliged
to put on wraps and arctics to keep warm,
while in others the heat is almost suffocat-
ing and that this condition has prevailed
for considerable time. The faculty, also,
in some of the rooms wear their ulsters
better chance to keep warm than pupils, as
the former can teach after the peripatetic

DUSS AMI TEED AGAIN.

George e. Ward Tells Why a Woman Was
Compelled to Join ths Koreshans.
George E. Ward, of Beaver, who has been
instrumental in stopping the movement of
DR.. Teed. the "Koresh," in uniting the
Koreshan and Economic Societies, was in
Pittsburg yesterday. speaking of the late
David F. Crees, who died recently of
heart trouble at Economy, and the state
ment made that he was Koreshan, he said
'Crees was not an advocate of
DR.. Teed's doctrine. L have been
with him many times, and am
convinced he was not. Ralph, his son, was
also said to be member of the Koreshan
Society, but recently learned positively
that such is not the case.
''Mr and Mrs Crees came to Economy
from Iowa in May last, and he took charge
of the cheese factory. During the summer
Mrs. Crees was told that she must become
Koreshan. She declined positively. Shortly
afterward she went to Chicago to
visit her two sons, who were
being educated at the Koreshan
Home. When she went into the institu-
tion Mrs. Crees was there told that she
must Join the Koreshans or both herself
and husband would be compelled to leave
Economy.
Not knowing what to do or where to 60.
rather than have her husband thrown out
of employment, she signed the membership
list under that pressure and much against
her will. She had no faith in the doctrine.
Since then she has been mentally pros
trated, due to the strain upon her nervous
system as the result of her sacrifice to save
her husband.
"Ralph and Walter Crees, the sons,
stayed in Iowa after their prrents came
East. Then John Duss had them sent to
Chicago, hoping they would become con-
verted in the Koreshan faith, but they did
not fancy the belief and came to Economy,
much against Duss' wishes. The boys had
lived in Economy one year before, but were
sent away because of their persistent re-
fnsal to accede to the demands of Duss.
Ralph now wants to josh the Economics,
but they object to him, thinking him
member of the Koreshan Society, but am
in position to know he is not.
'The alliance between Trustee Duss and
DIR. Teed will not last long. Mr.. Duss will
no longer be allowed to remain in Economy
unless he gives assurance that he will make
no more efforts to bring the societies to-
pether"

BETTER ROADS NEEDED.
for the Past Year-The Bridges in Good
Condition, but the Public Highways Need

County Engineer Davis Submits His Report
for the Past Year-The Bridges in Good
Condition, but the Public Highway Need
Attention.
County Engineer Davis, in his annual re-
port for 1891, gives the following statement
of the number and condition of the bridges
owned by Allegheny county. Seven iron
bridges, one a joint one With Westmorelsnd
county, and one stone bridge, have been
constructed during the year at cost of
s39,752 05. A timber tressle approach to
Bridge No. 2, at Duffs, cost 1920. There
was expended for the maintenance and new
work, s4S,2 81. The total number of iron
bridges is 141 and Is of stone, the total cost
of which was 1854, ,0O0
The following estimates for the ensuing
year were made: Rebuilding, $4,000; II
new bridges, $40, 800, repairs and main
tenance, 1880; total SIG, 900. The bridges
throughout the county are in fair con-
dition. The report says further:
The roads in thi. region still continue in
main so until State law is passed. In no
other matter does the progress and enter
prise of this district show to so poor adva
tage as in the indifference manifested in
roads is vested solely in the townships. As
l anticipated in nv last annual report, the
Legislature, ut its last session, pa sSed an act
regulating the construction and mainten-
ance of public roads and highways. Unfor-
tunately this did not meet the approval of
the Governor, ana SO it failed to become n
law. While this act did not embrace all the
valuable features it was hoped it would,
yet it was great step in advance of the
present legislation governing road-making
and management. II this State expects to
keep In line with the efforts of other States
in the matter of road Improvement, it must.
at least, revise the present road laws. And
would respectfully suggest that this coufi-,
ty, through its officers join with others in
urging upon the members of the Legislature
the imperative necessity for the passage Of
a general road law. A law based on the bill
presented to the last Legislature by the En-
gineers' Society of Western Pennsylvania,
modified TO meet the Governors objections,
would, think, fill the requirements of the
various sections of the State and prove a
very useful and popular measure.

SHOT NEAR THE HEART
Young Kinney Meets an Unexpected
Death in a Shooting Gallery.
CLAIMED TO BE THE WORK OF BOYS.
They Escaped, and Proprietor Brown Says
Ee Wouldn't Know Them.
HE INSISTS THAT 1T WAS ACCIDENTAL

James Kinney, IS years old, was shot in
the left breast in Browns shooting gallery,
Nos Wylie avenue, shortly after II o'clock
last night, and the wound resulted in the
boys death. The shooting, it is claimed,
was accidental, and is somewhat enshrouded
in mystery. The facts, as nearly as they
could be obtained, are about as follows:
Kinney was standing at the end of
the counter on which the guns were laid in
the gallery. There were two boys in the
place, and both of them were shooting at
the targets. Brown was standing out at the
door, and the loading of the guns was being
attended to by Young man in Browns en-
ploy. While the young man was
loading one of the guns there was
shot fired. and young Kinney
reeled to the middle of the room and
fell to the floor. Mr.. Brown and his assist
ant Immediately started after doctor, and
shortly afterward returned with DIR. Nc
Cough, who upon examination found that
the bullet had entered the left breast very
near the heart, and that the wound was
very dangerous. In the meantime the
boys who had been doing the shoot
could eos nno not be ei' found. md % Mr. Brown n
and his assistant both stated that they did
not know the boys, and it is doubtful if
they would know them if they saw them.
All they seemed to know or could say was
that the shooting was accidental; of that
they were positive.
Young Kenny was placed in the patrol
wagon and taken to the Homeopathic
Hospital and died FIVE minutes after
his arrival there. Previous to his
removal to the hospital one of the priests
from the Cathedral, who had been sent for,
arrived and administered the rites of the
church to the dying lad. The dead boy is.a
son of Patrolman Kinney, OF No. 4 patrol
station, who lives on Congress street. The
police are looking for the boys who did the
shooting
Shortly after o'clock this morning In
spector Whitehouse, Detective Robinson
and Captain Denniston succeeded in ar
resting the boy who shot young Kinney.
The prisoner is Jesse McCaffrey, 1S years
old, whose parents reside on the Southside,
but who rooms at 210 Grant street. The
prisoner was found at his lodging house
and taken to the Central station, where he
was locked up.
McCafrey saws the shooting was acci-
dental, and was done while he was loading
one of the guns. The prisoner further states
that young Kinney was loading one of the
guns at the same time. and that both guns
were accidentally fired at the same time. The
bullet was % caliber, the gun being f1obert
rifle. McCaffrey will be held to await the
result Of the Coroner's inquest.

THE HOwLING OF A MOB

Causes Great Excitement in the Lower
Part of the City.
There was considerable excitement yes
terdav morning in the vicinity of the Du-
quesne Theater. Shouts echoed to the roof
of the house; passers by stopped and peo-
pie waiting for the cars at the station across
the street, rushed over and wanted to know
if there had been a gas explosion, or if
news had been received that war had been
declared against Chile. The occasion of
of all this noise was a rehearsal,
but such rehea rsal as Pittsburg
has never seen before. The mob in Julius
Cesar" was listening to Marc Anthonv's
oration. Herr Marholdt the special ennis
sary of the Duke of SaXe-Meiningen, was
mounted on a chair on the stage of the
theater, and was surrounded by 100 bold,
brave Germans.
Herr Marholdt gesticulated wildly he
thrust his hands through his blonde hair
until it sparkled with the fires of elec-
tricity; he declaimed the speeches of the
noble Roman in a manner most eloquent,
and the mob cheered, sometimes it groaned,
sometimes it tossed its hat into the air and
danced about in wild pandemonium. To
the spectator it seemed for a time like an
entire lunatic asylum had gathered for q

had lost $780," And they did groan, al
though it was quite possible that there was

citizens.
But for three hours they shouted, they
danced, they tossed hats and coats into the
air and they kept up such an uproar that
the regular stage hands fed in dismay and

came down with platoon of police, having
received word at headquarters that band
of anarchists was organizing in the rear of

Secret Re comm endattons Made,

The Pittsburg Committee of Freight
Agents met yesterday and disposed of the
bottle classification so far as they are con-
cerned They made some sort of "a recon-
mendation to- the Central Traffic Associa-
tion, but its general tenor was not divulged
The agents would not say whether their ac-
tion was favorable or not to the bottle
manufacturers. The subject was thoroughly
discussed at an all-day meeting on Thurs
day. When they met yesterday it didn't
take them long to come to conclusion.
Their action is not final. but will have great
weight with the Glass Committee of the
Central Traffic Association. One of the
agents said their recommendations were al
ways kept secret to prevent hard feelings
in any quarter. Somebody is sure to be
disappointed when the answer is given, but
there is no use anticipating trouble.

The people living within the territory of
the proposed borough of Elliott, lying on
both sides of the Steubenville pike. just be-
yond the city line, are greatly exercised
just now over proposition to change the
lines as fixed by the grand jury in October

Attorney Rogers, on behalf of man named
Rees, and Attorney Robertson, for George
Schwartz, have presented a petition to have
the lines reformed so as to exclude S100, 600
worth of property. 1t is charged that the
Court Endorsement of the change was got
ten without the knowledge of the rest of
the citizens affected day or two since, and
that very night following they arose almost
en- masse and INDUCED in boiling oratory

revenue necessary to support schools and
keep streets and sidewalks in repair.

Temporary Insanity. Caused by the Grip,
Led to the d ,cd.
Officer William Crehan, patrolman on
duty at Oakland, became insane on Friday
night and attempted suicide by cutting his
throat. Crehan ran into the Fourteenth
ward station at 10 o'clock exclaiming that a
mob was after him and begging for pro-
lection. His actions were those of de-
mented man. and he was locked up after his
weapons had been taken away from him.
Sometime after midnight he used small
penknife that had escaped the searching
officer and slashed himself across the
throat. He was found out soon
after BY the sergeant and a physi-
clan was summoned, who stopped
the flow of blood and saved the mans life.
He was then removed to Mercy Hospital,
and the physicians say he is likely to have
siege of typhoid fever, though he has re-
covered his reason.
Crchan is "a years old, has been on the
force two years and is popular. His sud-
den dementia is charged as result of a
recent attack of the grip.
