ONE OF THE COOLEY GANG.
He Is Arrested in Greene County and Passes
Through Pittsburg on His Way to Jail.
The Cooley Not Dangerous, But Badly

He is Arrested in Greene County and Passes
Through Pittsburg on His Way to Jail.
The Cooley Not Dangerous, But Badly
Frightened.
w. C. Mccormick, brother of Sheriff
Mccormick, of Fayette county, passed
through Pittsburg last night with Bill Rob-
inson, member sof the much talked of
Cooley gang Robinson was arrested over
in Greene county, where he had been
for month. He is short, heavy-set,
thick-necked young fellow, and was dressed
in a mountaineer's garb. He did not have
with him the death circle alleged to have
been drawn about the noted gang, but he
had confidence that he had never committed
any wrong. He left Fayette county, he
said, because he and his friends were being
blamed with crimes they had not COM
mitted.
Billy Mccormick, who was in charge of
Robinson, says he has been much amused
by the reports printed regarding the
Cooleys and their gang. 'There is no way
by which the Cooleys can be made
bandit chiefs" tMcCormicl said. ''They
are simply chicken thieves and they
occasionally rob smokehouses or pig pens
They are as harmless as fox, but they are
about as hard to capture. They are simply

passes and roads where no one else can 60
They are all towards and the only difficulty
in getting at them is their own fear
Robinson, my prisoner, was telling me a
rather amusing story of Frank Cody
this afternoon" Mccormick went on.
Frank was courting girl named
Cessna, who lives up in the mount
aims. The crowd of young fellows
frequently gathered at her home and she
fell in love with Robinson. Frank Cody
got Jealous, but he was afraid to fight
Robinson. They, all met at q dance one
night and Robinson took Miss Cessna home.
Frank Cooley, his brother, a young
Sweeny. and another member of the
crowd followed him. When they
overlook him, Robinson agreed to
to fight the whole crowd one at time, but
neither of them would fight. The next day
the five men called at the Cessna house and
said they were hunting for Robinson. They
insisted Robinson was concealed in the
house and they demanded admission. The
girl refused them admission but took
broom and drove the party away from the
house The Cooleys and Robinson after

Already four of the party have been ar
rested, and are now in the Uniontown jail.
The difficulty now is to find charges upon
which to hold them

James Carr, was arrested shortly after by
Officer Blank and taken to the lookup in
Allegheny, where Superintendent Green
wood gave bail for his appearance before
the Coroner.
Seeth was playing on Franklin street
with a companion. They were flying kite
and seemed oblivious of the approach of
car until it was almost on them. The cam
panion of Seeth sprung one way and the
latter the other. The companion was for
tunate, but Seeth sprang directly In front of
car 112 and was knocked down and dragged
a considerable distance before the car was
checked. He was pulled out, but was so
badly injured internally that he died Just

SAW MORE THAN WAS EXPECTED.
Two sad-Eyed Country Cousins Take an
Awful Tumble From Grace.

Awful Tumble From Grace.
Thomas Hogan and John Murray are
country cousins who came to town yester-
day to see the parade. The visitors first
proceeded to load themselves with liquor
and then started out to see the sights. The
first place they visited was 1855 Liberty
street, where it seems they had been on
their last visit to town. The last visit hap
pened to be some years ago, and the char
acter of the houses in that vicinity has been
considerably changed by the effective work
of the Public Safety Department.
This, however, was unknown to the
strangers, and entering the house they de-
manded certain privileges which were
denied them, and which aroused their
anger. The two men them proceeded to
run things to suit themselves, and started
TO kick in the doors and windows. Joseph
Roll, the proprietor, started at once for the
Office of Alderman Donovan, and entered q
charge of malicious mischief against the two
men. Constable Connolly found them en-
gagged in their act of despoiling the house
and landed them both in Jail to await a
hearing on Friday next.

Went Out and Fell bv the wav,ide.

James A. Carothers, of Crawford county,
has been for some weeks an inmate of the
West Penn Hospital, under treatment for a
dislocated shoulder. Carothers was con-
valescing very nicely and yesterday was
given permission to go downtown and view
the parade. Last night the patient returned
to the hospital in very befuddled condi-
tion. He was both drunk and quarrelsome,
and for half an hour he succeeded in raising
such disturbance that it aroused all the
patients. The hospital authorities were
finally compelled to send for the patrol
wagon and Mr.. Carothers was given
quarters in the Twelfth ward station.

The Second Act More serion.

Paul Burns, waiter in an East End res
taarant, is locked up in the Nineteenth
ward station ON charge of aggravated as
sault and battery, preferred by William
Iseman. The row of which the suit is the
outcome happened on Tuesday night of last
week. 1t is alleged Iseman went to the
restaurant of Fred Welsh, on Frankstown
avenue, to get something to eat, and he was
waited on by Burns. Iseman and Burns
had All alteration. Burns threw a water
pitcher at him, but missed him. Later Ise-
man returned and the quarrel was renewed.
This time he was knocked down. The bl ow
has since caused erysipelas, and mis- condi-

An Echo of the Allegheny Centennial.

Officers Gumbert and Thompson were
subpenaed as witnesses last night to ap-
pear in Cleveland and testify in asuit for
damages against the Pennsylvania Com
pany. The suit is an echo of the Allie
gheny County Centennial celebration in
1889. The plaintiff in the case, Mrs.
Williams, came here from Cleveland on an
excursion. On her return, as she was pass
ing through the gate at the Union depot
to go to her train, she was caught in the
crowd and pushed against the fence and Sc
yerely injured. She then sued the railroad
company for damages. The officers sub
penaed were on duty at the depot at the
time

Waiting for Government Tests.

Stephen H. Emmens, the inventor of gal

House last evening. At
present he says he is waiting for the Gov
ernment to test his explosives in the IL Inch
guns at Indianhead. The tests we're made
at Sandy Hook in the S-inch guns, and were
very satisfactory. The doctor says he has
stopped experimenting with nicklenm. but
he thinks in time rifles and small firearms

They MAY Affiliate.

At the convention of the Flint and Green
Glassworkers next July, it is thought
afiliatory measures will be adopted by the
two branches of the trade. The marriage
of the two has been much talked and planned
for since the latter broke away from
the Knights of Labor, but it now seems
that the end would be accomplished.

A Very Quiet Day in Allegheny.

There was very little disorder in Allie
gheny yesterday, considering the character
Of the day and the large number of PERSONS
on the streets. There were but five arrests
made up to 1880 o'clock, four of which were
for drunkenness and one for common dis
order. Five lost children were at the sta
tion, but were reclaimed during the evening
by their parents.

The Stone Cutters Union will hold
meeting next Tuesday evening, at which it
is thought an attempt will be made to ar
range the scale for the coming yesr 1t
seems to be the general impression that
the trade will not make out their scales so
early as they did last year. 1t is thought
the carpenters lost their strike by allrwing
the bosses to know of their prices too early
in the game.

CRAFToN's CHARTER ALL RIGHT.
DIR. Foster Indignantly Denies the Bound

An afternoon paper yesterday published
a story about Grafton, the gist of which was
to show that the borough will have its
charter taken from it. The reason given
was the boundary lines of the borough had
been changed after the petition was passed
upon by the grand jury, and now there is
talk of declaring Tuesdays election illegal
DIR. ID. G. Foster, of Grafton, called at
The DISPATCH Office last night to DENY
the story. He said: ''The story was
manufactured out of the whole cloth, and if
anyone does not think the lines were cor

"THE proof of the pudding is in

"THE proof Of the pudding is in
chewing the bag-strings" And
fairly intelligent and unprejudiced
comparison of the results Of free
trade in England and protection in
this country during the last thirty
years must convince every man that
protection is the wiser policy, es-
pecially for this country. The par
tial emancipation of many English
men from the grip of prejudice is
making such comparisons very
odius to free traders.
We clip the above from the Plain

is wrong, even to the chewing. of
the bag string" The proof of the
pudding is in the eating thereof;
that is to say. the quality of a pud-
ding is determined by it's digesti-
bility and nutrition. Now, judging
from this standpoint, in so far as
the results upon labor are concern
ed, neither free trade or high tariff
is a good thing for laborers. Labor
in England is, and has been, down in
the depths Of poverty, from time.

idly declining to the same condi-
ton. We venture to assert that
the Plaindealer does not know any
thing about the results of free trade
in England. The English manufac-
turer is immensely wealthy; so is
the American manufacturer. In
both countries the operative is poor,
and to any intelligent thinking. per-
son the CT nditions in both countries
prove that something else than that
tariff or free trade is at work de-
stroying the masses. If the Plain
dealer had not stopped at the bag

published such rot.

cause Of their depreciation then,
they never would be appreciated.
The exception clause" fake is
wearing out and the leaders of the
Alliance are beginning to hunt for a
new hobby.
The above chunk Of wisdom is
taken from the Greeley Tribune.
We are at a loss to. determine
whether it was gall or ignorance, or
political viciousness controlling the
author when inditing it. The poor
ignoramus does not appear to know
that the exception clause did not
depreciate greenbacks, but appre-
ciated gold. For all purposes but
interest on the public debt and
duties on imports, the greenback
dollar paid as much during the war
as it does now, and the gold dollar
does not pay as much now as it did
then. The exception was made law
for the sole purpose of approaching
gold. The law was a compliance
with Shylock's demand.

years. The same men, north and

they contemplate their waning pow
