Ernst, the Superin- tendent in Charge. WHAT WAS DONE IN THE VARIOUS PARKS—THE RAILROAD COMPANIES—AGAINST THE USE OF OVERHEAD WIRES. Col. Ernst, the superintendent of public buildings and grounds, has submitted his an- nual report of operations on public buildings and grounds to Brig. Gen. Casey, chief of en- gineers, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1892. The report says: The care required to maintain the public parks in good condition has been extended during the year. The operations have consisted in mowing and raking lawns, repairing gravel walks, pruning trees and shrubs, maintaining pavements and Toadwaysand planting flower beds. In the autumn some of the beds were planted with chrysanthemums for fall blooming and others with early spring flo bulbs. ‘The grounds north and of the Executive Mansion were repaired and trees and planted. ,, THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT. At the Washington monument two new cables. each 1,060 feet long and 13¢ inches in diameter, were put in. Monthly inspec- tions of the elevator and machinery were made by an agents of the build- ers and daily inspections of the safety ps geen on the car —— Lage start to carry passengers. Numerous minor re- pairs were made. The two boilers were thor “— cleaned twice during the year. Ire were 156,870 visitors to the top of the shaft during the year, of which number 108,701 made the ascent in the elevator and 48,169 by the stairway, making a total of 613,175 persons who have visited the top since the monument was ed_to the public on October 9, x08 Numerous acts Jo occurred di the year, the m bein, the seuntal or tines or tea Soar remain- ing silver letters from the Nevada stone.

The cur- rent followed one of the lightning conductors ini the shaft, which are the four hol- low wrought-iron phonix columns stend- ing in the well of the shaft supporting the elevator machinery), to within about twenty feet from the floor, when it left the conductor shaft; it then jumped to and continued through to the engine room, where the only damage done was the bu out of two electric lam, It also charged the machinery with electricity, as the . assist- ant engineer, who'was in the act of gpening 5 valve, co. the , slerater engine experienced quite a severe # it sustained no injury. Later (about 5:40 p.m.), nthe same day, the monument was struck second time when the current seemed to leave the conductor at the same place and explode on the floor. ‘There are sixteen greenhouses in the nursery founds, covering an aren of 24.77 square feet re are also two brick potting nine frame buildings used as shope and store houses, muse, two open sheds and 766" fect of cold frames,” numerous repairs and improvements were made in these houses. , During the winter and spring montbe about 496,488 ornamental fotings end foworta plants were propagated, nea: wi were set out in the parks during May and June, ORADIXG B STREET. ‘The work of grading the low grounds along Bstrect north was continued during the year and about ten acres were rough granded and six and one-third acres sown in grans seed.

Many of the newspaper mem remained up all night looking out for any number of strangers who might possibly come up from Pittsburg either by boat or rail, but the long and chilly vigil was fruitless. ‘NO REVOLT AT THE DUQUESNE WORKS. Homestead steel workers are not deeply enamored of their brethren at Duquesne, and if an opportunity ever puts in an appearantte the Duquesne men may have cause to regret the coldness they displayed yesterday. Hugh O'Donnell told me on Saturday evening that the Duquesne boys would almost certainly in- dulge in » sympathetic strike. If they did the blow would be a telling one, for the coming out of Duquesne meant a shut down at Braddock also. Ata preliminary on Saturday there seemed to be indications of trouble up ning | the river, but the proceedings yesterday after- noon convinced me that Homestead may secure financial aid from individuals in the Edgar Thompson and Duquesne mills, but there can hardly be any open revolt against Carnegie in thore places. When the meeting opened there were about fifty Duquesne men present. The’ balance of the audience came from Pittsburg and Home- stead, but before the proceedings warmed up local people had fully » hundred representa- tives present. After discussing the condition of affairs for a while Vice President Carney of the Amalgamation (who was in the chair) in- vited those present to become members of the Amalgated Association. Asan inducement he offered to give them clean cards of admission, which would not cost them a cent, and to take them into full membership at once. The Duqueene men sat silently and no one offered to accept the proposition. Then Mr. Carney made an impassioned ap- peal to them to stand by the Homestead men, mentioning among other things that 88,000 car- penters had agreed to give one day's work each week for the support of the locked-out steel workers. When he finished he asked if any one had anything to say, but no one had. Then he wanted to know, “What is the sense or pleasure of this meeting?” After a painfal silence one man arose and moved that “We stand by the Homestead men.” How he proposed to stand by them he ne- glected to state. Thon all who favored the motion were requested to raise their right hands. About ten hands went up, and im- mediately there were shouts from the stage of “all up, all up,” and nearly all present slowly responded. After they had thus pledged themselves, Mr. Carney requested them tostep up andsign the roll ofa new Amalgamated lodge, which he would organize at once. This caused « break for the door, and, as the chairman sew them leaving, he said, “It is all right for men who don’t work at the steel works to go, but I hope no steel workers will leave the room.” Still they continued to file out, and then he said, “Remember, Gentlemen, this is your last chance.” But they threw their last chance to the winds and soon the hall was deserted as far es Du- quemne workers wore concerned. This failure to bring on strike at Duquesne was really not worth weeping over. Of course it would have made the Homestead men feel much more confident had every mill worker in all this region joined in the effort to make rated at Homestead and aided by the Pittsburg | lodges of the Amalgamated, but none of the leaders here are worrying themselves over the situation. A O1GANTIC BOYCOTT PLANNED.

AN INCIDENT OF THE NIGHT. During the night there was one incident that Promised to be interesting, but even that fell short of having any griat news value. A large number of Hungarians asrembled near the tail- road entrance to the works at about 2:30 am., and had enough of a squabble with the guards to result in calling the reserves. ‘There were ne shots fired, however, and the crowd was dis persed without arousing the town. At noon the advisory committee of the Amal- gamation was in sesrion. It had been for more than two hours,and the general impression among ‘he «trikers was that important develop- | ments raight be looked for as soon as the com- mittee adjourned, HUMBUGGING THE STRIKERS. Two alleged seckers after occupation fell into | the hands of the strikers’ scouts this morning, and as they seemed from the strikers’ standpoint to be reasonable fellows they were escorted to headquarters and treated just as nicely as though they had brought with them good tidings of great joy |and large promises of pecuniary aid. They will not work for the Carnegie company, nor, unless Iam very much in error, will they work for one else. They are not of the toiling class Within the next week or #0 there will be a great influx of such People, and unless the strikers are more than ordinary keen they will be imposed on by j hundreds of tramps. Evory man who wants transportation to some distant point and s little money to live on while he travels can come to Homestead in the guise of non- union laborer and get all he could expect From vagabonds of this type the Amalgama- tion will have difficulty in defending its treas- ury. Of no real value, because no sufficient force could be mustered to make it useful, is the strikers’ map of Camp Sam Black. It can be placed in evidence to show that nothing is be- ing neglected by those who are active in bebalf of the Amalgamation’s interest. Long before Maj. Gen. Snowden knew where his troops were located all the necessary in- formation had been acquired by the workmen and the facts put on paper, so that any ove might sce and understand them. Ase specimen of the dranghteman's art it is admirable, but ite principal excellence is in ite | cal accuracy. Fifteen thousand well-armed men would find it hot work storming Camp Black, but with this map their work would be con- militia, and that is why the map is « curiosity It represents a good deal of wasted energy. Perhaps the appearance of affairs bere is de- ceptive at this time, but it seems quite plain now that the decline of combined and forcible lawlessness bas its hold on this community. The boycott will be the weapon with which the firm will be fought, although there are still many who quietly make known their willingness to blow up the works rather than permit them to be run by non-union Isbor. In the presence perhaps their volume will increase when* the soldiers depart, but if it docs will be with an entire disregard for the com- mands of the leaders. Non-union men are to be reasoned with, says the published program, but there are no instructions as to what must be done in cases where the men are not amen- able to reason and pay no heed to argument. oo a pee ~vearee STABBED BY A DRUNKEN MILITIA- MAN.
