RIvERMEN AROUSED.

They Are After Major stickney With Com
mittee-A Lively Fight in SIght-The
Miners Strike Hangs Fire and the End
Not Yet.
The Coal Exchange held another meeting
yesterday. The coal strike and the great
interests involved have thoroughly aroused
the river operators, so that they have been
holding semi-weekly meetings of late,
whereas they regularly meet only once a
month. r.- ---
The dixie at Logstown and the attitude
assumed By Major Stickney have thoroughly
aroused the rivermen and every means
will be adopted to prevent him from carry
ing his plan into effect. They say the old
dixie answered all purposes and are satisfied
to have it repaired and restored to its old
time Importance. Major Stickney claims
nothing more than an experiment in his
plan, it never having been tried before.
Tnis is not to the liking OF the operators
and they will checkmate him, if possible.
A committee consisting of w. W. O'Neil,
Addison Lysle, Oliver Douds and John A
Wood was appointed and left for Washing
ton last evening to lay the matter before
the authorities at Washington and have the
plan CuhuScu. 1uc TlVcFuleu Ere aroused
as never before over this matter and say
they will fight for their idea of the
dixie to the bitter end. The coal
strike was taken up and discussed
at some length. It was the general opinion
that the fight is assuming serious aspects,
as the longer 1t continues the better the
chances become for the miners. A few of
the mines were reported to be running, but
there was only q slight change in the situa-
tion during the past week. The report that
the Coal Exchange met Friday, and that
the miners had decided to return at the re-
duced rate, is denied. The operators say
they know nothing of either. s,.,j - -,
One operator said: tfThe only way This
strike can be brought to an end soon is for
the operators to adopt the plan used by
w. H. Brown & Sons, that is, of importing
new men to crowd out the old men The
miners are still determined and really are
not suffering for want OF work. We are
being thoroughly put on our mettle by the
way things are going Making boasting
assertions that the operators will never
give in may go for awhile, but it is facts
that talk, and we will see who wins The
strike may end next week, or it may be
much longer, but have little hope of see-
ing it over for quite awhile"

TO ABSORB THE NEW ORDER.

The Ama1gamated Association Trying to
Have the Finishers Return.
The Amalgamated Association officials
had little to say yesterday. Since the break
at Homestead there has been little to give
out and the officials are not inclined to talk
much. They take hopeful view of the sit
uation and still claim they have a show in
the contest.
Ex-President William Weihe and Presi-
dent Garland were in Youngstown address,
ing the new organization of the National
Association of Iron and Steel Workers.
This is an organization of fnishers only and
was instituted in Pittsburg sometime
sgo. One local lodge has already been
organized. The Amalgamated Association is
doing all in its power to absorb the new Or
der, as its members all come from the old
order-and if allowed to go ahead would
make serious inroads into the ranks OF the
Amalgamated Association.

Fire Chief Scott, of Millvale, Compliments

Chief W. S. Scott, of the Millvale Fire
Department. in speaking of the fire at
Bauerlein's brewery in Shaler township on
Friday said yesterday: "At no time was
the brewery in danger of destruction nor
was the town threatened. The local de-
partment responded, although it was handi-
capped by the absence of the officers. The
brewing company's men also had a couple
of streams working in a short time, and the
fire was almost e1tinguished when the
Pittsburg and Allegheny fremen arrived.
The outside departments were asked to as
sist by the brewing company. and, while
the Millvale department is always ready to
take assistance when it is needed, this time
it wasn't, although the visiting fremen
were thanked for their prom9tness
''The Millvale department is well
equipped, is volunteer organization en-
tirely, and is deserving of credit when
credit is due. In this instance it was"

WORKING A NEW SCHEME.
II 1t Fails, Mayor Gourley VIII Close Dis
orderly Houses


Mayor Gourley has agreed to postpone
his order to close disorderly houses for two
weeks Police Superintendent O'Mara
called on him yesterday, accompanied by
thre. men whom he introduced as "secret
service detectives" These men are paid
out of what is known as the "secret service
fund.-" in the appropriation bill, and their
duty appears TO have been lately to detect
persons running disorderly houses selling
liquor. As detectives, they have thus far
proven q pronounced failure. They de-
clared to the Mayor they had been unable
to buy anv liquor in such places. His
Honor gave them to understand his belief
that liquor was being sold. nevertheless.
At Superintendent O'Mara's request he
allowed the Police Bureau two weeks more
in which to prosecute illegal selling to a
standstill. If after that time he finds one
or more houses selling he will order them
all closed to stay, at least during his term
of Office. Some new scheme evolved by
Superintendent o Mara is expected to work
wonders within the limit fixed by the
Mayor.

RoM EsTEAD KILLS ANOTHER STRIKE.

The River Miners Lose Heart and May
Return to Work Again.
A dispatch from McKeesport states that
as the result of miners meeting yesterday
it has become evident that the miners strike
along the river will end next week.
The break in the strike at Homestead is
given as a reason for the early returning to
work of the miners. They say this is bad
time for standing strikes. With the
water, they want to 60 back so as to get in
tull years work. The rate asked BY the
river operators is the same as paid
in all the railroad mines, and is
a reduction of one-half cent a busheI
on that paid formerly. A number of men
have been working at the reduced rate but
for the past two months there have been
about 8, 900 miners out along the river.

WILL HAVE 10 EXPLAIN.

A License Applicant Puts Judge Kennedy
in a Queer Position.
The application of John Becker for the
transfer of his license on Sixth street to
Campbell and Galvip came up before Judge
McClung yesterday for the second time.
Judge McClung said he was satisfied the
sale was a bona fde one, but there was
one thing that must be explained, and that
was, the Court had been informed that
Becker had stated by messenger to the
Court that Judge Kennedy had expressed a
willingness that the transfer should be
made. This Judge Kennedy denied and
unless a satisfactory explanation could be
given the transfer would be refused.

COTTON PROSPECTS.
The Crop viii be the Largest Raised
for Ten Years.

ST.. LOUIS, August 26.-The Repub-
lie in a weekly review of the cotton
crop condition this morning, says:
The last seven days generally improv-
ed the outlook for the cotton crop.
The best prospects, as heretofore, are
in Texas, where picking has begun
regularly in some sections, and where
one report says the crop will be the
largest for ten years, despite the de-
creased acreage. Needed rains have
fallen in quantities where, although
the crops are late, il will be about as
large as last years. There is better
outlook in the Memphis district,
where lateness is the fault of the crop.
This is due mostly to the recent
floods. In mississippi there has been
much rain, and in some quarters there
is a report Of the plant not maturing
as it should In Louisiana there has
been a cessation of continuous rains,
followed by cloudy weather, which
prevented rust and shedding, so the
situation there is more hopeful. In
South Carolina there is a little change
from the unfavorable condition here
tofore reported, which make the crop
late and poor. Reports of boil worm
are more frequent than week ago,
but all say their work will not do
serious damage. AT points caterpil-
lars are heard of, both in Mississippi
and Alabama, but they have not done
much harm.

FOUR CHILDREN DEAD.
AND AN UNCONSCIOUS WIFE
FOUND BY A HUSBAND.
Three of the Children Bitten by a
Rattlesnake--The Other Child
Drowned.

ATHENS, GA, Aug. pa farmer
named Wilson, living in Madison
county, left his home and went to
mill, leaving his wife and four child
rem at home.
Two hours later he returned to find
his wife lying on the floor insensible,
with four dead children about her.
The story the mother told when she
was restored to consciousness was a
remarkable one. She said she had TAX
en- the baby to spring, leaving the
other children in the house. Hearing
cries she put the baby down and hur-
ried back to the house, where she
found two of the children dead and
the other one dying. The living one
said they had been poking their fin
gers through crack in the floor and
a hen had been pecking at them. The
mother went back to the spring and
found that the baby had fallen into the
spring and drowned. The third child
died when she got back to the house,
and the mother then swooned away.
An investigation has shown that the
supposed hen was rattlesnake.

CHOLERA SPREADING.
THE DREAD EPIDEMIC NOW
ALLovER EUROPE.
Precautions to Keep 1t Out of England.
The Disease Abating in Paris, but
Increasing in Hamburg

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The United
States consul at Teheran wires that
the estimated deaths in Persia from
cholera are $4,000, 5000 in Mesehed,
10000 in Tabriz, 5000 in Teheran and
10000 in other places.
HAMBURG, Aug. 25.-Considerable
excit cement has been, caused among
military authorities by the appearance
of cholera among the troops. Three
cases and one death have occurred in a
regiment temporarily quartered here.
The regiment has been ordered to
leave Hamburg. The weather con-
tinues hot which is unfortunately fav-
orable to the growth of cholera. Yes
terday there were eighty-two new
cases and thirty deaths. Papers here,
which have been accused of greatly
exaggerating the situation, turn on
the authorities to-day and attack them
for persistently denying the presence
of cholera in Hamburg. The violence
of the outbreak made concealment no
longer possible. They claim that if
the authorities had admitted at the
start that the disease was true cholera,
sanitary measures might have been
enforced that would have prevented
the spread of the disease to the extent
which it has new reacl ed.
Advices received at st. Petersburg
from Astrakhan on the Volga show
that cholera, Which has been raging
in that city, has lost its epidemic char
acter.
THE HAGUE, Aug. 25.--An official
proclamation was issued to-day dcclar-
ing Antwep infected with Asiatic
cholera and ordering strict quaran-
tine against arrivals from that port.
PARIS, Aug. 25.-The sanitary chief
of the war office declares that cholera
in Paris, Havre and Rouen is abating
and will soon disappear. Thus far in
August there have been 365 cases of
cholera and 104 deaths in HAvre, not
of the Asiastic type, however. Many
of the patients died Immediately after
seizure. The steamers Galicia from
Hamburg, and st. Andrew from Havre
have been quarantined.
LONDON, Aug. 25.-The Hamburg
American packet company is the first
of the transatlantic lines to seperate
its tirst-class passengers from emigrant
traffic because Of the prevalence of
cholera IN Hamburg. The company
has decided to entirely withdraw its
fast steamers, Augusta, Feurest, Bis
mark, Normanie and Columbia from
the Hamburg service for the present
and henceforth until further notice
those vessels will make Southampton
their port of departure and arrival.
Other steamers of the line will sail
from Hamburg, and on these emigrant
passengers viii be conveyed.
