THE MINERS
CONVENTION |
Another Disagreement Between Operators
and Workers Probable.
STRIKE AMONG POSSIBILITIES |
The working Miners win Demand Rate
Which viii Doubtless be Rejected by
the Employers Ignore the
New mining Law Entirely.

Plttsburg Dec. 2.-The coal oper-
ators and miners held separate conven-
tions yesterday, preliminary to todays
Joint convention for the purpose of
fixing the mining rate for 1898. Both
conventions were largely attended and
the important questions which are to
come up today were thoroughly dis
cussed. Judging from the results Of
yesterdays work it would appear that
todays convention will not fix the rate,
and another general strike is one Of
the possibilities.
The miners convention was asked
by the uniformity committee to allow
a dinerential of ten cents in favor of
the operators who sign the uniformity
agreement. The miners, by a meager
majority, decided to allow the differ
entail, but when the matter was
brought before the operators conven-
tion it was ignored. Thus it looks as
though uniformity in the Pittsburg
district is remote.
On the rate question the miners
passed resolution which means a
complicated fight. In spite Of the fast
that the courts have guled that the new
mining law is unconstitutional, the
resolution demands a rate of 40 cents
a ton for coal as it comes from the
mine, without being screened. The
operators decided to ignore the new
mining law entirely.
Both conventions favored an attempt
to bring about an Interstate conven-
ton of operators and miners, to be held
at Columbus O., some time next month
for the purpose of fixing the mining
rate for the several states.

THE GIRARD
ANNIVERSARY.
Coming Semi-Centennlal of Philadel-
phia'S Famous College.
ANECDOTES OF THE FOUNDER !
His Heroic Self Sacrifice During a yellow
Fever scourge, When He Braved the
Dread Disease and Acted as
a Nurse.
ANECDOTES OF THE FOUNDER !

Philadelphia, Dec H.-On Jan 3 the
nftieth anniversary of the founding
of Girard College win be celebrated
with great pomp and ceremony in the
city of Philadelphia. This famous in
stitution, established by the great mar
iner and merchant for the free educa-
ton of orphan boys, is now conceded
to be one of the grandest charities of
modern times-unique in the history of
personal philanthropy. The magnitude
of the gift is beginning to be appre-
ciated by the people and, as 1t is, the
character Of Girard is beginning to re-
veal itself in a new and more favor
able light to the people of the United
States. Time and the cool sober 1udg
ment that comes a half century after
a man has passed away shows this re-
markable man to have been one of the
great characters of the age.
At the time of Girard's death his es-
tate amounted to about $500, 900. It
was by long odds the greatest fortune
in the United States at that time, and
it was surpassed by few if any of the
private fortunes abroad. One hundred
and forty thousand dollars of this vast
sum was bequeathed to members of the
Girard family; $5OO,00O to the city of
Philadelphia for the improvement of
it's water front; 100000 to the state of
Pennsylvania for internal improve
ments and the balance in trust to the
city of Philadelphia for the erection,
improvement and maintenance of a
college for poor white orphan boys. In
addition Girard devised to the cities
of New Orleans and Philadelphia $50,
900 acres of land in the state of Louisi-
ana, but this was subsequently lost to
the legatees by a decision of the United
States supreme court.
Two million dollars was set apart by
his Will for the expense of the erection
of the college. Excavations commenced
on May 6, 1888, and he'completed build
ings were transferred to the board Of
directors on the 18th of November, 1S47
1t will thus be seen that Is years were
consumed in carrying out the prelim-
mary instructions of Girard's will. The
work, however, was largely delayed by
reason of innumerable suits brought
against the estate by the heirs of
Girard. The original purpose was to
have the college erected on the block
bounded by Eleventh, Twelfth, Chestnut
and Market streets, in the very center
of the city, but codicil to the will
changed the site to the William Par
ker farm, a plot Of ground occupying
As acres on the Ridge road.
Pupils were accepted as soon as the
building was completed, and the num-

On a cold winter evening when one is con
fronted by snow and sleet, as well as on a
hot, sultry day, there are thoughts prancing
in your mind of your family circle. Last
evening, as the writer was passing down
Main street he observed in the show windows
of O'Neill Bros. a continuous row Of the
popular "Pease" pianos .tbat occupied his
mind for time, as it will many more during
the festive holiday season. The thought
struck him, what an acceptable Christmas
gift one of these instruments would be to
any member of a family household ?' The
designs and makes of both buyers and
dealers have always commanded the highest
praise and recommendation. They are so
constructed and of such material that their
existence is of far greater duration than the
average piano. Lovers of music pronounce
them the sweetest toned pianos now in use in
the musical world. None but the most skill
full workmen are employed in their manu-
facture. These instruments can be bought
for cash, or on easy payments We have a
pianist in constant attendance to demonstrate
their abilities. Drop in and give us youI
attention for few moments. At O'Neill

STEPHEN GIRARD.

Der has been gradually growing larger
year by year until the number Of boys
now being maintained and educated
reaches the large total of 1900.
There are hundreds of applications
on the waiting list Of the college, and 1t
is considered a rare distinction to final
ly obtain admission to the institution.
In 1882 the value of the estate left for
the endowment Of the college amount
ed to between 100000 and $4,000, 900.
In 1895 the total value of the estate
reached the enormous sum Of S14,921,-
1928, and the net income amounted to
81, ,O5O, 8SO.22, and this latter sum is now
sufficient to maintain the college.
Girard left minute instructions re-
garding the construction and manage
ment of the college The main build
ing, which was built according to his
directions, is of white marble and in
its design resembles a Greek temple
It is considered the purest specimen Of
that style Of architecture In this coun-
try. A colonnade of "a Coriatlian col
umns form the peristyle and aid in
supporting the splendid marble roof
The remains of the great philanthro-
plst rest in a marble crypt in this
building, and I'm front of II is a marble
statue Of Grard. The face Of this
statue was copied from a death mask
taken at the direction Of Dr. John Y
Clark. The artist never saw his sub
ject, and was Obliged to form the fig
ure from descriptions given him and
with the aid of the clothing found
among the effects Of the dead philan-
thropist 1t cost $4,000, but has never
been accepted as satisfactory by the
friends OF GiInrd. Last year a splendid
bronze statue Of Girard was erected by
the alumni Of the college, and now
stands in front of the Philadelphia city
hall It is said to give a better idea Of
the real appearance Of the founder Of
the college than anything yet done in
this line
The main building of the college is

TAXPAYERS CHARGES.
Court Passes Upon indictments Against
the County OmciaIM

Yesterday Judge Bechtel passed upon the
motion to quash the indictment charging
Controller B. R Severn with misdemeanor in
Office The court quashed three Of the counts.
Nos. TO- II aud 49, and directed that the
Commonwealth furnish bill bf particulars
to the defendant in the othbr remaining
nineteen counts not later than the 27th inst
The court requires bill of particulars to be
furnished only in the frsti eighth and
seventeenth counts
The court also made an order 10 amend the
record Of the Clerk Of the Dourts so that
certain omissions pointed out bI the defend
ants may be inserted, and 60 sd bw that John
Boland was duly appointed foth Of the
Grand Jury and was properly slyorn as such
The court gave ITS opinion inl writing as to
quashing the 10th, 11th andl 18th counts.
The teuth count charges that he defendant
grossly and criminaly negl@ ted certain
duties prescribed by the Cd lntroller act ;
allowed and caused large sum4 Of money to
be paid out, and approved ba against the
county for himself for the su1l OF 5000, and
the count charges the paymei III of divers
other sums contrary to law
The eleventh count charges Il e illegal pay
ment eff several sums of money! to John o.
Ulrich, and Messrs. Wilhelm add Ryon, for
services rendered the county.
The thirteenth count charges that the tenth
section of the Controller Act hal been evad ed
by dividing up work so as 10 bring the
amount below the 500 limit, add avoid the
obtaining of bids, &c, and then charges that
on the 30th of April, 1897, 1928 Hegistry books
were necessary, which involved an expense
of more than S10O and that this was divided
into two lots. one VI 500 and Qbther of-s7O.
Tbs court qaashed these fhred indictments
because in each count seperate and distinct
ohenses are charged and therefoie cannot be

circumstances That Give Circulation to
New Church Rumors.
Rumors have got aAoat that Rev J. A.
Lenarkiewicz, pastor Of the St. Casimir
Polish Roman Catholic church, on North
Jardiu street, is about to purchase the old
Evangelical church at the corner Of West and
Cherry streets, but they are unfounded. A
HERALD reporter called upon Rev. Lenar-
kiewicz to-day and he said he was not in
terested in any such negotiations, nor did he
know who was.
Upon making inquiry at another source the
reporter learned how the iumor got into cir
cuation It appears that a portion of the
Polish congregation is dissatisfied with Rev
Lenarkewicz's pastoate and has determined
to leave the congregation unless II secures a
new pastor 1t is this dissatisfied element
that has been negotiating for the old Evan
gelical church The HERALD's Informant
stated that the Lithuanians were the first TO
split from the local Polish church and build
an edifice Of their own. Then the Russians
split and are worshipng in their own church
90 West Centre street. Lately the Austrian
Polish element of the congregation severed
connection and now holds services in
Schmidts hall It will erect church of its
own as soon as a site can be secured. The
present dissatisfaction arises, therefore, from
fourth element and the party giving the
information says that should there be no
change in the pastorate of the congregation a
split will take place and the Archbishop will
be asked to assign priest for lic rev branch.
Should this request be denied the new con-
gregation will become independent.
1t was also learned to-day that the negotia-
tions for the purchase Of the Evangelical
church property have not been conducted
with the trustees in charge, but through a
party who was formerly connected with the
church, and that the property is not for sale.
