JARRETT GETS THE JOB,

Galvanized and Block Sheet Men Join
Hands and Hire Him in Common.
The galvanized iron and block sheet man.
ufacturers met at the Monongahela House
yesterday and united the two associations,
making one organization. John Jarrett has
been secured at a good salary to be the Secre-
tary. 1t was the intention to take in the tin
plate men, but, so far, this has not been done.
The statements made by those present are
conflicting. j. W. Britton was on hand to
represent the tin plate association. When
asked in the afternoon if the two organiza-
tions had Joined hands, he said they hadn't
reached that point, but would soon come to
1t. In the evening it was denied emphatic
ally that it was the intention to unite the
three sheet iron associations. Readers
must draw their own conclusions. Some
time ago the tin plate makers made
overtures to the galvanized and block sheet
men to hire a secretary in common. 1t is
understood that steps are being taken to
admit the tin plate manufacturers.
A committee was appointed to select Off
GERS tor the new association. They will re-
port at the next meeting. Among those
present were j. w. Britton, Cleveland, j. G..
Battelle, Piqua; Mr.. McMurtrie, OF the
Apollo Iron Works; W. C. Cronemeyer. C. R.
Hubbard and ex-senator N. Z. Whitaker,
Wheeling, and others.

AN UNSOLICITED OPINION OF ALL
QUIPPA.
What the Beaver Star EditoriaIIy Has to Say
of the New Town.

of the New Town.
The Beaver Star, in a lengthy editorial on
the industrial growth Of Beaver county, pays
the following unsolicited testimony to the
new town of Aliquippa and its future: The
great industrial growth of Beaver county in
the last decade ts a source of great pride and
qualification to her citizens. Her manufact-
uring industries are established on firm
basis, and new enterprises are constantly be.
ing added to her already large list. The mani
fest advantages for manufacturing sites
afforded by the Ohio and Beaver Valleys are
becoming widely known and recognized. No
portion of the country is better supplied
with means OF transportation, both by rail
and water. No more beautiful, healthful and
desirably located sites for towns and cities
can be found on the surface OF the planet
There is no more picturesque and pleasant
spot; no more conveniently and more ad-
mirably located site for manufacturing and
business purposes in the bounds of Beaver
county than that selected by the Aliqnippa
Steel Company on the Ohio for the founding
of q town.
1t is a matter of congratulation that this
enterprise, which means much to Beaver
county, starts under such auspicious cir
cumstance and surroundings on such solid
business and financial basis. and in such
progressive, wide-awake hands. 1t is not a
mere land speculation. A town is not to be
built on the promise of industries. The in
dustries are already there. AS is well known,
employing a large force of men in a neigh
boIhood, great demand for homes conve-
nicnt to the works arises, and employees
have often great difficulty in securing resi-
dence sites because of the speculative ten
denotes Of land owners.
Beaver county welcomes this important
addition to her many Industries, and wishes
the town of Aliquippa a rapid growth. Her
citizens will use their best efforts to pro-
mote this worthy enterprise.
The first public sale of lots takes place to-
morrow, April IA. Trains will leave the P.
time. Don't miss the sale ii you are inter
ested in investing yonr money safely and to
great advantage. Price lists can be secured
on the grounds. The regular statesmen will
be designated SO that you need have no fear
OF sharp spectators or false prices to meet.

AFRAID OF ELKINS.
IF he Is Nominated for Governor Of West
Virginia He VIII Worry the Democrats.

IF he Is Nominated for Governor of West
Virginia He VIII Uorry the Democrats.
Alonzo LoTinr, of Wheeling, registered at
the Monongahela House last evening. He is
one of the rare men engaged in the iron
business who believe in tariff reform. He
thinks the time is near at hand when all iron
men will be Democrats. He says the only
remedy for overproduction is the foreign
markets.
''1t is ridiculous" he continued, "to claim
that our iron men can't compete in the
markets of the world. We have the finest
ore, cheap fuel. skilled workmen and plenty
of money. Why can't We successfully come
in contact with the best of foreign pro-
ducers in our line? Mr.. Carnegie will tell
you that he can make steel rails cheaper
than the English. 1t was demonstrated that
we could compete with .Ne world three years
ago when the Bethlehem Iron Works Sc
cured a big rail contract from Canada. The
tariff was taken off for the time being. Why
coke in Europe costs just twice as much as
our own, and it is NOT nearly so good. If it
Is true that labor is cheap on the other side,
the difference In wages can be made up from
the low priced fuel. But our workmen can
turn out twice as much as the foreigner in O
day. and his wages would not be reduced"
Mr.. Loring says If the Republicans nomi-
nate Mr.. Elllins for Governor in West vir.
ginia that ne will make it hot for the Demo
Gratis. He regards him as O dangerous man,
since he has money and is a GOOD organizer.
almost every section of the State has a
Democratic candidate for Governor, but it
is hard to say who will be nominated. The
State delegation will go to Chicago unin-
structed, but they will vote for Cleveland"

THROUGH A PIPE LINE.
An Idea to Send Coal to New York From
Pennsylvania Coal Fields.

An Idea to Send Coal to New York From
Pennsylvania Coal Fields.
Intelligence was received from New York
yesterday that n method of transporting
coal from the Pennsylvania coal fields to
New York by means of pipe line was under
consideration, and that Carnegie and others
declared the idea practical. The plan was
to pulverize the coal and force it through
the pipe by water power. At the terminus
the coal would be dried, ana then pressed
into blocks for sale.
Mr. Henry C. Frick, Chairman OF Carnegie
Brothers & Co., and President of tho II. C.
Frick Coke Company. in referring to the SUBJ
tect yesterday said: Eyes. heard about the
plan some time ago, but have pronounced
1t fmpracticable all along. The idea of for
warding coal in that way is absurd and will
never be carried into effect"
Mr. Joseph Walton, of Joseph Walton &
Co., said the idea was quite new to him. and
ridiculed it altogether: "1f they want to
send coal that way" he said, ''it won't be
worth anything by the time it gets to New
York. The water would spoil the coal"
Several other coal men denied having any
knowledge or connection with the plan, and
said the idea would never be carried into
effect

NO COMPROMISE YET.

Tho Conference Between Bricklayers and
Their Bosses Fails Of fResult-Transport.
ing Coal by Pipe Lne-Jarrett Accepts q
Good OHer-News OF Labor Circles.
The details ofthe conference between the
bricklayers and bosses, held Yesterday after
noon in the Builders Exchange, are being
carefully withheld from the press and pub
lie, and little is known Of the result of the
meeting. r-.-
The conference commenced at 8P. n. and
continued within closed doors till O'Clock.
A rumor was then heard that practically
nothing had been done and they had failed
to settle the dispute. Many of the confer
ence committee were questioned as they
left the committee room, but they all refused
to talk about the meeting, beyond saying
that there was nothing done. News Of the
meeting is being eagerly sought for by the
striking bricklayers, and it is the general
opinion that in case q settlement has not
been made the turmoil and strife will con-
tinue Indefinitely.
The dullness in the building trades is par
TALLY owing to the bricklayers' strike; one
big contract was lately shelved on account
OF the trouble. No settlement having been
made another meeting will shortly be called
as it is evident to both sides that something
must be done at once to settle the dispute.

BABIES IN A J0-B0AT.
Three Naked Children Huddling
About an Empty Stove.
THE FATHER IN THE WORKHOUSE.
Mrs Gilbraith and Fer Brother-in-Iaw
Console Each Other
WHEN THEY MEET BEHIND THE BARS

One of the most deplorable cases of
neglect and destitution reported for some
time was investigated yesterday by Special
Agent Mcdonald, of the Anti Cruelty Soci-
ETY.. For some time past reports have
reached him of the neglect of three small
children of Mary E. Gilbraith, who resides
in shanty boat at the foot of South Eighth
street in the district known as Fickleyville.
Agent Mcdonald succeeded yesterday in Sc
curing temporary shelter for them In st.
Paul's Orphan Asylum.
Eli Gilbraith, the husband, has been an in
mate of the workhouse for several weeks
and since his retirement his wife has been
seeking consolation in the flowing bowl.
Consequently the younger members of the
family have had a hard time of It. They are
aged 9; and years, respectively. When
Agent Mcdonald visited the place yesterday
Mrs. Gilbraith and the three children were
huddled around the stove trying to get
warm. There mad evidently been fire in it
earlier in the day, and it had died out,
but there was still a little heat in
the iron. The youngest child did not have
stitch of clothes on. and was pressing its
shriveled little body against the warm iron
in an endeavor to secure a little warmth.
The boy, aged 6. had a small shirt on, and
was closely hugging the stove on the OPP
in front, not seeming to care whether
it was warm or cold. The boat con-
sisted of one room, and was in filthy
condition. The bed consisted of bundle of
rags, and If the original color was black it
had certainly grown richer with age.
Agent Mcdonald at once went before Al
derman Succop and made an Information
against Mrs. Gilbraith, charging her with
cruelty and neglect The warrant was placed
in the hands OF Officer Cochrane, and Mrs.
Gilbraith was arrested and sent to the
Twenty eighth ward station.
Jack FiCkieV. DrOth0r-in-law of Mrs Gill
braith, otherwise known as the "King of
Fickleyville," was released from the work
house yesterday and celebrated tie event
by getting full and landed at the station
house. Mrs Gilbraith had the use OF tile
corridor and every now and then would stop
to talk to Jack. After consoling each other
on their JOINT aff1iction Jack suggested that
she wash the children, which she did in a
manner. She then said that if she
was his wife they could get along better TO-
gethef, which Jack indorsed with an oath.

MOVING TOWARD HARRISBURG.
The Allegheny Contestants Looking to
Harrity to Seat Them in the Convention.

The Allegheny Contestants Looking to
Harrity to Seat Them in the Convention.
A number of local and county delegates
left for Harrisburg last evening to attend
the Democratic State Convention. In the
crowd were Henry Myer and his Allegheny
people, who will contest the seats of the
Guffey men. Mr.. Myer had little to say,
hut friend of his said at heart he was for
Guffey, but as he is a Cleveland man as
against Hill, he was forced by circumstances
to side with Harrtty in the fght.J JohnGuffey
was present and he stated emphatically
that Myer and his delegates were knocked
out cleanly, but they were going to Harris
burg and banking on harrity to seat them.
w. J. Brennan said there is no doubt that
the contestants were clearly defeated in the
first Allegheny district, but he was not sure
about the others. He thought tire fact that
the machinery of the convention was in the
hands of Harrity men and still they were
beaten is strong evidence against their
claims.
The county delegates were red-hot for
Gutfey and after Harrity's scalp. Chairman
Corbett and the other three delegates from
Greene county are out-and-out Guffey men.
Mr.. Corbett thinks the Pittsburger will
win.

DECAPITATED BY A TRAIN.
It Looked Like a Murder, but Proved
to Be Deliberate Suicide.
FATE OF A PRETTY POLISH GIRL.
Little Frsddie Askins Dies of Blow Re.
ceived in Play.
CORONER MCDOWELL STOPS A FUNERAL

Between and o'clock yesterday morn.
ing, Fred Fullmer, a well-known contractor,
who lives in the ravine on the west side ol
Schenley Park, found the headless body Of
Mary Cherlinski, pretty Polish girl, who
had lived near him, lying between the rails
on the junction railroad not far from the
tunnel, where the railroad passes under
Neville street. The head, fearfully disfg-
ured, was found few yards further down
the track toward the tunnel.
At first it looked like a case of murder
The body lay in a straight position, the
arms lay straight beside the body and the
scanty skirt was drawn down over the
limbs SO as to indicate that the body had
been carefully placed in the position it was
found by other hands.
Strong Indications of Murder.
The appearance of the neck, where the
decapitation had taken place, was clean cut
and to one inexperienced it looked as if the
head had been severed with sharp knife
or other instrument still further indicating
murder.
The body was removed t. the morgue, the
police set to work investigating, and the
Coroner was notified. Within few hours
it was learned that the girl had met her
lover, Ludwig Lucowski, Polish laborer,
who worked on a dairy near by, the night be-
fore, and he was arrested. He is now in the
Fourteenth ward police station, awaiting
the action of the Cs oner's jury at the in
quest to be held this morning
The developments in the case strongly
suggest deliberate suicide, and the police
and the Coroner think there is little doubt
of it. The girl had threatened suicide sew
eral times. She had been employed as
domestic at the house of John Treelisky,
who lives near Fullmer's, and not far from
where the girl met her death. She had only
been a few months in this country, and
since her employment has received the at
tentions of Lucowski.
The Girl Had Threatened to Suicide.
Between and O'Clock yesterday MORN
ing Mrs. Treelisky accidentally discovered
the intimacy existing between the couple,
and ordered them out of the house. The
man obeyed at once, and the lady went to
her room, not supposing the girl would
leave until her week was up. When she
came downstairs, an hour later, the girl was
gone and not long afterward the news of
her terrible death was received.
The police through an interpreter learned
yesterday that Lucowski had made prepa-
tions to leave the city yesterday. and had
given up his position on the Gender dairy.
This. coupled with a statement made by the
girl to her mistress that she would kill her.
self If Lucowski should fail to keen mis-
promise to marry her, gives a clear motive
for the suicide.
The Coroner's post mortem examinat tion of
the remains demonstrated clearly that the
girls head had been severed by the car
wheels. The railroad men all claim that
they did not see the girl and don't know
which train passed over her.

FUNERAL DELAYED BY THE CORONER.
An Investigation Shows That Colored Boy
Was Murdered,

an 1nVeSuSauOn SHOWS mat COl0roQ Boy
Was Murdered.
Coroner Mcdowell held a funeral back
yesterday morning long enough to permit of
a post mortem being held on the body of
Frederick Askin, a colored boy, who died at
his home, No. u Clark street, on Monday.
DR.. Golden had filed a death certificate
stating that brain fever had been the cause
of death, but the police reported to the
Coroner that a wound had been found on the
boys head and might have caused the
death.
The post mortem verified the wound
theory. The brain was found to be in a bad
state and the wound was clearly visible
The Coroner empaneled jury and viewed
the remains, after which the interment was
allowed to proceed The police were then
notified TO proceed with their investigation
to find the cause of the wound. . 1t is SUD-
posed the boy was struck on the head with q
stone by one of his playmates, ,as the evening
his illness developed lie went home and
mentioned having been slightly urt in that
way, but no Importance was alta ched to the
matter, as he did not seem to mind the in
jury, and there were no outward indications
of Invisible.
An inquest will be held today, and the
police expect to produce some evidence i'm
plicating colored boy, who was with the
deceased the day he was hurt.

Found Among the Debris,

In tearing down the old building on the
corner of Smithfield and Diamond streets
workmen yesterday found quaint old re-
voivCr that had probably been under the
floor for years. 1t is q curiosity, being un-
like any model of the present day. For it to
have accidentally gotten where it was found
that there lies behind it an interesting, if
not bloody story. Years ago some one may
have placed it there to conceal crime.
