usual Importance. II
Pittsburg, Pa, March s0.-Now that
the officers of the ~Amalgamated sAsso-i
citation of Iron and Steel Workers have,
definitely decided to hold at~natfonal!
convention in Detroit during the second
week in May, there Will be considerable
activity in the matter of eleciing dele,
gates among the different lodges of the
organization wherever -bcfred. The
convention will be one 3fS great import-
ance from the fact th4t the scale aues-
ton Is to be readisted. The general
feeling among thsmen is in favor OF an
advance of Is or SO cents per ton for
pudding, tie present scale being 81,
while she manufacturers insist that, In
the present condition; of trade and pros
pects, the scale should stand unchanged
for at least a year. The workers are
also dissa tisfied with the present rule
by which the average selling price of
har iron at the mills for sixty days de-
Terminus the rate OF wages to be paid
for the two months following, and In
stst tina some rule should be adopted by
which tn immediate Increase In wages
should follow q boom in the Iron market.
So many questions are to be considered
that the sessions of the convention are
likely to extend over two or three weeks.

FORT GRANT ARMY SCANDAL
Some Peculiar Charges Are Pre-
terred Against Lieutenant Fitx-

Washington, March 3O.-There have
been filed charges with the Judge advo-
cate general against Lieutenant w. e..
Fitzgerald of the Seventh cavalry, ac-
cusing him of HOUSEKEEPING and burg
larry at Fort Grant, Ariz. where he was
until recently stationed. Lieutenant
Fitzgerald is now at Willets Point, N.
Y, having been transferred there since
the rather remarkable occurrence in
which these charges originated. Sta
toned also at Fort Grant is Lieutenant
George ". Cole of the same regiment,
who is accompanied by his wife. Lieu
tenant Fitzgerald Is also a married
man, and is understood to be a soninlaw
of al officer of high rank.
During the absence OF Lieutenant
Cole from the post, 1t Is said that Fitz-
gerald tried to break into his house at
night. when, according to report. he ex-
pected Mrs. Cole to be alone. Contrary
to his expectations, however, n of the
young ladies of the post, a daughter OF
the major, was staying with her during
her husbands absence. The women at
once raised the alarm. and together they
succeeded in ejecting the intruder from
the house. Charges were at once filed
with the commanding officer. n a
great commotion was made In the post
over the occurrence.
In fact, the story which reaches
Washington goes or to say that Lieu
tenant Fitzgerald was so chagrined at
the occurrence that he offered to resign
If the charges were not pressed. and ex-
cused his conduct by saying that he was
under the influence OF liquor and uncon-
sclous OF his actions. This promise is
said to nave delayed the formal filing OF
charges, and Lieutenant Fitzgerald inn
mediately left the post. 1t Is alleged
that through the influence OF his father
inlaw, Fitzgerald secured a transfer to
Willet's Point, %ostensibly for the pur-
pose of military instruction.
The officers stationed at Fort Grant,
however, were determined not to allow
the matter to rest in this way. and they
demanded the resignation OF the ac-
cused. After Fitzgerald had been rams
ferred he peremptorily refused, how
ever, to resign. and on his refusal
formal charges were liS1 against him
with the judge advocate general in
Washington. These charges are now
under consideration, and In all p:obabll-
ity a court-martial will soon be ordered.

ceived here from London today, the In
ternational exposition of morse and
horseless carriages which is to open at
the Crystal Palace early in May next
Will be of the most comprehensive ma
ture and will, so far as that country Is
concerned, inaugurate an interest that
is certain to lead In the passing of the
horse and the general adoption of me-
| chanically propelled vehicles, not only
in the shape Of carriages. buggies and
other vehicles of private use, but of
wagons and carts used for the transport
of goods and produce In manufacturing
and agricultural centers. The import
anc of the exposition is increased bN
the fact that, as a result Of strong reps
reservations. the British government
has prepared: "a bill thar removes the lei
gal difficulties hitherto in the way of the
operation Of mechanically propelled vel
hicles on public highways. The Coachy
makers society, which is taking aY
active interest in the exposition, has
designated Lord Mayor Sir Walter VIII

GILBERT AT THE FRONT.

CLAW Bird Prize.

The Iowa Boy Among the Leaders AT
the End OF the Shoot = Wins the
Clay Bird Prize.
New York Sun: The great live bird
tournament of the Interstate associa-
ton. which has been going OF at Elk
wood park, near Eranchport, N. j., for
the past three days was
brought to a successful con-
cluslon Friday. Unfortunately for the
shooters, the pigeons gave out, and the
final events were decided at targets.
The association provided something like
5000 birds, but the snow storm Monday
caused nearly ], 200 birds to come to an
untimely end. Nearly 1000 birds were
required for the Grand American Han
dlcap alope, and this. together with the
regular Stake events, exhausted the
stock Of birds long before the regular
events We're run off; so yesterdays
shooting was in the main confined to
m~iss-and-out events.
While a great many of the shooters
returned to their homes in various parts
of the country at the conclusion of the
grand American handicap on Thursday
still many remained and took part In
the shooting yesterday.
The first event was a miss and out
sweepstakes, 81 entrance fee, which
brought out a field of fifteen shooters.
The air was clear n cold, and a
strong wind prevented anything like
high scores. SO the competitors got
quick action for their money In the
first round Z. C. Buckhardt, ]. H. Shat
fer, w. G. Price and w. s. King were
forced to retire through misses, While B.
f. Smith and H. T. Brown retired in the
second round from the same cause. j.
G. Messner, last years champion, missed
his third bird, while A. p. Pope and f.
d. Fulford missed their fourth birds.
This left e. w. Price, G. O. VIM, Fred
Gilbert and G.. A. Wellington with clean
scores, and they agreed to divide.
In the second event, twenty-five entries.
Phil DAILY, jr., B. f Smith of Buffalo, G.
H. Cubberiy. and II. 4. Brown divided the
moneys after killing six each. Among the
other contestants were T. w. Morley,
Captain Money, G. Mcpherson, L. ID. Full
ford, e. w. Price, G.. Zwirlein, i. Gilbert
and G. w. Ciaridge.
The birds having given out, the men shot
ut targets thrown from the new tangled
bicycle trap recently exhibited at the
sportsman's show in the garden.
In a twenty clay bird event, s. entrance
fee, Gilbert broke II, Morley l6, Fulford
Is, and Smith IS. The shooting then ended.

lions have been made for the execution.
which, II 1t takes place, will be q fitting
climax to one of the most extraordinary
eases on record, and furnish the threads
for a thrilling novel OF the sensational
order.
On New Years day OF the present year
a woman named Matilda Manning, who
combined the occupations of a dress
maker and a midwife. was arraigned be-
fore Justice Day TO stand trial for her
life upon an Indictment charging her
witnhaving performed upon Mabel cor

he trial the judge had actually brought
his black cap Into courss in order to have
t ready at hand when it became neces-
;ary to pronounce sentence of death.
The principal witness against the unfor-

nitted his responsibility for Mabel Cor

straightforward story of the circum-
stances under which he had engaged the

On cross examination, however, and

mistress before he took up with the
woman now dead, thai She had borne

The way. 1t was also developed that
Hindson had at one time been a sur
seon, and a vigorous cross examination
finally brought out admissions tending

the. operation. Thereupon the prose-
cutting officers of the crown, al the sug-
sestion of the judge, abandoned the in
aictment against Matilda Manning, and
Hindson was arrested on the witness
stand and committed for trial on q
charge of willful murder. Two weeks
ago he was arraigned, convicted and
sentenced to be hanged, and on Satur-

against him were the Manning girl and
