DB. HAMMOND EESIGNED

Because He Preferred Both a Pipe

and His Personal Liberty

TO SDEVEILLAKCB AND SALARI.,

His Great TTork in Building the Kew& flhnrMi PATintAfl Tar Xano-ht- .

HE HAS THREE CALLS ELSEWHERE

Bev. E.H. Hammond, pastor of the ShadyAvenue Baptist Church, has resigned frontIris pastorate under circumstances quitewithout precedent in the history of church

circles ot this city. It appears that the

reverend gentleman has been caughtsmoking. He had the temerity to followthe distinguished example ot Sir "Walter

Baleigh and other more recent devotees of"the weed," and certain members of thecongregation took exception to Mr. Ham-

mond's tastes, and that fact coming to theears of the pastor, he promptly severed hisconnection with the church.

Rev. Mr. Hammond was neither at hishome nor his study last evening, but altersome investigation his intimate friend, Dr."Williams, of Pcnn and Hiland avenues,consented to give the facts in the matter.He said:

"Dr. Hammond has been treated verydiscourteously by a faction ii his congrega-

tion. He has been pastor of the ShadyAvenue Baptist Church for more than threeyears, during which time his energetic min-

istrations hare done wonders in building upthe congregation. A new and handsomechurch has been erected and partially fin-

ished at a cost of over 525,000, and it is amatter of lact that over one-thir- d of themoney was raised by Dr. Hammond amongLis influential friends. .

OUTSIDE OF THE CONGBEGATIOX.

"A very small debt incurred in the finish-

ing the new building yet remains. Dr.Hammond is one of the most able of theBaptist ministry. In the preparation of the

exegesis of a sermon he is unrivaled in hisdenomination. He has worked with hiswhole soul for the success of hischurch, and has received what his friendsconsider a meager salary. During thelast year he refused a call from anotherchurch at precisely double the salary he re-

ceived. He is a man ot genial characterand fine mental attainments. I mention

these things in order to emphasize the trivialnature of the objection raised against himby certain people in the congregation. Dr.Hammond had one very grievous fault inthose censorious eyes. He smoked!"

"Did what?" asked the astonished re-

porter."Smoked!""Smoked tobacco, you mean?'"Yes. He smoked cigars and pipes;

smoked openly and notoriously, thus scan-

dalizing his cloth, in the eyes of certainPharasaical members of the church."

"He didn't chew?""Oh, no. Just smoked. And a lot of old

hens in the congregation were so shockedby Dr. Hammond's atrocity that they begantalking in church and at the prayer meet-ings. He heard of it, and made up hismind to preserve his independence by re-

signing. He ielt that it was not hisprovince to remain where any act of hiswould jeopardize the spiritual unity of hisflock, whether the malcontents were rightor wrong."

OTHERS DON'T DETEST IT.

"Has Dr. Hammond calls elsewhere?""Yes. He has three calls, one to Con-

necticut, one to New Jersey, and one to alarge church in Philadelphia. Bnt his ac-

tion had no reference to his prospects. Hedoes not believe that smoking is inconsist-ent with the ministerial proiession, and Ihonor him for his assertion of the rights ofthe individual."

k Dr. Hammond's resignation was preparedon Sunday morning and read to the congre-gation just before communion service. Itwas a veritable bombshell, and the congre-gation was so stunned as to be scarcely ableto vote on the acceptance. Dr. Hammondprefaced his remarks by stating that hisaction was for the best interests of thechurch, and must be considered irrevocable.The resignation was reluctantly accepted.

One of the oldest lady members of thecongregation stated last night that "objec-tions had been made to Dr. Hammond be-

cause he smelt of tobacco dnring the ad-ministration of the communion."

The members of the church are said to beon the lookout tor a Baptist minister guar-anteed not to smoke.

SOME FDSSI MISTAKES.

A Day' Experience at the Department ofPublic Cliarilieu.

Yesterday afternoon a man about 60 yearsof age called at the Department of Chari-ties and inquired for a dead friend's corpsehe supposed was there. His first questionwas, "Where is he?" The clerks of coursedid not understand him and asked for anexplanation. He asked if that was not "themorgue," and was told it was not. He thenEaid he had seen the sign on the door "thedeparted," and thought it was the morgue.The sign reads: "Office of the Departmentof Charities."

A few days before this a lady came intothe office. She wanted toiay her"gas bill."She was told they could not give her a re-

ceipt for it. She seemed a little mystifiedand asked if that was not the office of the"Chartiers Gas Company." She, too, hadread the sign improperly and was shown thedifference between "Chartiers" and "Chari-ties."

RIOT ON THE TRAIN.

Tho Crnb-Tre- e Guns Try to Run theJohnstown Accommodation A FightEnsurs Many Persons Injured.

A small riot broke out on one of thePennsylvania Bailroad trains yesterday af-

ternoon, in which a number of persons wereinjured and bruised. "Nick" Funk, thewell-know- n conductor, was cut in the face,and several passengers were injured.

The train was the Johnstown accommoda-datio- n,

which leaves the Union Station at4:30. At Greensburg there was a lot ofpeople waiting to get on board, and amongthem was the "Crab Tree gang." They re-

side on the Crab Tree branchroad, near George's station. "Whenaround they generally run thing.They got on board, the conductor says, and,being drunk, their leader, Joe McCorniack,immediately got into a fisht with a passen-ger. The former is a large man, beingnearly six feet high and weighs about 200pounds. His large stature gives him roomamong ordinary men, and on the train he isalleged to have" challenged any lour presentto come and do battle with him. Nobodyappeared willing to accept the offer, and tomake things interesting McCormack, it isalleged, struck an inoffensive paisenger.

This started a fight, in which about 15passengers, the train crew and McCormack'sgang were interested. One of the latter,named Johns, was gashed abont the headand severely injured. Conductor Funk re-

ceived a painful cut above the eye, whereone ot the toughs struck him.

"When the train reached Latrobe the pas-

sengers in the car and the train crew, roseup as one man and threw the gang from thetrain. Warrants will be sworn out fortheir arrest

Samuel Bing, chairman of theDealers' Committee, said yesterday, withreference to the petition about to be pre-

sented to Judge "White:

"Judge White, if he doesn't want to beset down as a mere obstinate person whopavs no attention to any one else's opinion,will deal favorably with our petition. Thepetition points out that the Exposition willopen in a few days and that the rush ofstrangers upon Pittsburg will be great.The supply of legitimate liquor stores willnot be sufficient and the speak-eas- y will, inconsequence, flourish.

THE PITTSBTJKQ' JMBPATGH,

1,500 MILES OF RAILS

Wanted Right Here for New JapaneseRailroads in Prospect

A STDDI0US JAP READY TO SELECT.

He Will Come From Altoona to PiMstmrg

in a Few Days, and Bee.

WHAT HE SAYS OF EASTERN PE0GEESS

M. Fukuzawa, of the Sanyo RailwayCompany, Kobe, Japan, will visit Pitts-burg within a fen days to look over themills, and especially those making steelrails, with the object of ultimately pur-chasing in this country rails forfrom 1,500 to 1,800 miles' of rail-road in Japan. He is now at Altoona,studying the transportation department ofthe Pennsylvania Railroad, and yesterdaygave a Dispatch reporter a pleasant chat.He was sent over here by the Sanyo Bail-wa- y

Company nearly three years ago to

study railroading, and will return to Japanin about two months.

The'company now operates a road fromKobe to Bakan, about fifty miles long, butare now arranging to build about 1,500 to1,800 more miles. The companyis composed wholly of Japanese,and has a capital of ?3,000,000.M. Fukuzawa said that since the firstrailroads were bnilt in Japan, the peoplehave "gone crazy" over them and clamorfor more. The profits on the 1,000 mile's

now in the country are enormous, the roadspaying as high as 20 per cent dividends

THE TWO GEEATEST.

The investigator selected from all of therailroads here, the New" York Central andthe Pennsylvania, and for nearly threeyears has been asking questions, discussingcomplicated systems of billing, ticket sell-

ing, mechanical engineering, etc, and oncea month writing home to his company,what to them is a fairy tale of the wondersof invention in this country.

The vestibule train with its dining cars,shaving chairs, baths, libraries, sleepers,parlors, etc., were fully described in oneletter, with drawings; but his companywrote back that it was too much for them.Japan couldn't stand such a jump from be-

ing carried around by coolies to a palace onwheels.

Mr. Pnkuzawa has spent much of histime in Philadelphia, and was once beforein Altoona. As a result of his mission theJapanese roads have adopted the air brake,the Jenny coupler, the Pennsylvania Bail-roa- d

system ot counting, and are now study-ing over the question ot adopting Americanrolling stock. Their roads are only bniltnarrow gauge, 'ii feet between the rails,and smaller engines than here are used.They propose at first to transportfrom this country eight locomotives and 200passenger and freight cars. M. Fukuzawahas partially decided on the Baldwin woiksin Philadelphia for his locomotives, butwill look around in Pittsburg. He hasbeen informing himself about H. E. Porter& Co., but did not bpeafcol having heard ofthe Pittsburg Locomotive Works.

HIS PITTSBTJBG VISIT.

He intends visiting the Edgar ThomsonSteel Works and it may be possible thatPittsburg will in the near fnture furnishsteel rails for Japan's railroads.

The company have about decided to pur-chase American rolling stock, but the corre-spondence about different specifications,prices, etc., tikes a long-tim-e. Full expla-nations of every detail have to be given andtheir questions answered. This cannotbe done by cable, hence the slow negoti-ations ot M. Fukuzawa's company.

The English built the first roads in Japanand, of course, the English rolling stockwas used. The Japanese now Know oi noother from actual experience, and thoughM. Fukuzawa has persistently explained tothem the superiority of the American carsover the compartment system, they want toknow more about it, and asx theirdecision will undoubtedly set theprecedent for all future railroads in Japan,they are carefully looking into all the de-

tail's. It may be said that, in a great meas-ure, the adoption of the American systemlays wholly in M. Fukuzawa's powers toexplain to "his countrymen its merit, andpersuade them that it is best in all things.

First class fare on the Japanese roads is4 cents, second cjass 2 cents and thirdclass 1 cent, making it possible lor a man toride according to his means.

The man on which so much depends is ayoung man apparently, as far as anAmerican is able to judge of a Japaneseage. He is of one ol the best families of Ja-pan and well educated, speaking and writ-ing the English language exceedingly well.Shortly after his arrival in America a news-

paper reporter wrote that he was a prince ofroyal blood, bnt such he says is not so.

His father, Yukiche Fukuzawa, is theeditor of the Jiji Shimpan or the Times,the largest daily paper in Japan. It has60,000 circulation daily, and uses cyl-

inder presses and all of the latest im-

provements in printing. The subscriptionprice is 40 cents per week. It had a fullaccount of Pittsburg's Centennial from thepen (or brush) ot M. Fukuzawa, who wasin the city at the time. The Japanese aregreatly interested in anything American,and crave after foreign letters, which theyread with wonder.

FAITH IN THE La& 0. AGENT.

Secretary Houston Doesn't Beliovo E, P.Young Is Beyonil Recall.

Concerning the report that E. P. Young,one of the agents of the Law and OrderLeague, has fled from the city and gone toTexas, James W. Houston, Secretary ofthe society, said yesterday:

"I have rrot inquired about his absence,because I do not believe he has fled. Myfailure to investigate has not been because Iwas not interested. It is true I am hisbondsman to the extent of $500. I have riodoubt we will be able to produce him whenhe is needed. According to reports of theopposition, other men of ours have been lostin the same way, but they have always beenon hand when wanted. Whether Mr.Young has lelt town or not, I do not know,because I have not seen Captain Wishartfor several days."

A call was made at the office of CaptainWishart, but he was not in.

" V7e have some rare 'Squires in this city.One of them recently sned a man who hadstarted to Germany two weeks before suitwas brought, for illegal liqoor selling. The'Squire made the information before him-

self and issued a warrant for the arrest ofthe man, knowing he had reached Germany.The warrant was taken to the man's houseand read to his wife.

"Then the 'Squire sat on the case, with-out the little formality of the presence ofthe defendant, and gave a judgment for ?67,including costs.

the Allegheny Valley Railroad. Itrequired three special trains to haul thecrowd to the grove. There was no attemptmade to hold a meeting; the gathering wasjust a picnic, in every sense of the word.

Painters' Union No. 72, of the Southside,held a picnic at Hammel's garden, onMount Oliver. A number of labor leaderswere present, but there were no addresses inhonor of the day.

couldn't wobk and plat too.President Marvin and Manager Johnston,

of the Exposition, were greatly surprisedyesterday by the refusal ot 00 carpenters,joiners, stairbuilders and slaters to work onLabor Day. There remained only threeworking days, and every hour was con-

sidered precious. When the foreman, inthe morning, informed President Marvinthat their men were not going to work, itwas decided to offer them double pay. Themen demanded in addition, to double pay,52 50 with which to pay their fine to theirunion for working on Labor Day. Thiswas refused, and the men departed to jointhe parade.

About 20 of the employes of the MarshallConstruction Companywhich is erectingPower Hall, quit work, leaving only 12 onthe building. All will return to work thismorning; but the time lost may be vital.

President Marvin said yesterday: "I amcompletely disgusted. To think that theywould leave us in the lurch this way, afterthe thousand of dollars we have paid tothem, and paying extra time, alsol Inever was so beatqn in my life. It throwsus back badly."

The officials of the Exposition Societystill hope that, by strenuous efforts, thePower Hall will be ready by TheStreet Cleaning Depaftment ot this cityyesterday did good work in washing, withhose, the dust off Duqucsne way. The workwill be completed The Pennsyl-vania Eailroad Company has not yet movedtoward Jaying the new track along Thirdstreet from Perin avenuo to Duquesne way.

"WILL TEY TO MAKE IT UP.

In the evening, with characteristic pluck,President Marvin was hopeiul the lost timemight in a measure be made up, and said:"01 course we will put extra men on, andwe will work day and night, or as long asthe men will consent to work 'for goodwages; but I repeat, I am sorry they de-

serted us just at this moment, for even oneday,"

Here the conversation closed, and a huntfor Manager Johnston finally discovered,that very busy gentleman. "Will you beready for the opening night?" was the firstand only query.

"The main building is in excellent shape,"said he, "and will present a handsome ap-

pearance. As lor Power Hall I can onlysay we' are doing nicely with it, and we willbe ready to show visitors a marvel of exhib-

its and architecture, thongh not for a fewdays.

"I wish," continued Mr. Johnston, "thatthe exhibitors would furnish us a list ofbona fide employes at once, so as to savetrouble in admission. And I wish also theexhibitors would cut the number down aslow as possible, as they only encumber thefloors and exhibits if there are too many."

A tour of the building showed the hand-some main building had undergone a won-

derful change since Saturday.Iron coverings have been placed on the

doors between the buildings, as the art gal-ler- v

is to be f, while jnst outside ofthe'se doors, in the great hall, piles uponpiles of flowers, plants and floral decora-tions were being placed in masses of sweet-smelli-

green and colors, and the men atwork promised this hall would be finishedfor the opening.

Contractor Murphy, speaking of the car-penters' holiday, said it would not throwthem back an hour, as they were almost fin-

ished, and a few extra men and a few extrahours would catch up iu their work. Hoexpressed no doubts, as to the looks andcompletion of the main building.

At a meeting held late last night watch-men, with their sergeants and aids, were ap-pointed to keep guard over the buildings,outside and in. A score of trustworthy fel-

lows were appointed, with now and then sman in authority. In the main buildingthe old reliable doorkeeper will probably bein authority, while in Machinery Hall, a

McConnplI works ai No. 3 faraaee.He saw the uteelboil over and heard ereEMin the pit.- - He helped to take the ladleaway from the pit and put the hose on tocool the place, bnt by the time they reaekedthe pit the 'man in it was dead. He saw,the knetal put in the ladle and it looked' allright. There was a very heavy pressure ofgas on that .day. ,

WATEE POSSIBLY IHEEE.McConnell believed there must have been

water in the bottom of the ladle, and hethought it got there because the ladle hadnot been thoroughly dried after baying beencooled off. Tbewater. he thought, was un-der the bottom of the foam and slag that isput in, and when the hot steel waa pat inthe ladle it eat through and got onto thewet brick, which caused it to boil over, Hewas satisfied that the steel reaching the wetbrick caused the explosion.

William Ferguson was No. 1 pitmanwhere the accident occurred, and was theonly one who escaped. He noticed in themorning that the bottom was out of theladle. A new bottom was . put in, bnt indrying it blistered tome, ana he was suspi-cious of it. He also noticed the bottom otthe ladle sweating, and thought it was notdry. He told some of the men to watch itas he was afraid the steel might comethrough. Mr. Lane, the ladleman, saidsomething about too much water havingbeen put in.. the ladle. He was standingwithin two foot of the ladle and heard a'boiling sonnd inside, and he ran and yelledlor the men to save themselves.

James Dorsey was ladleman on the nightturn at the fnrnace where the accident oc-

curred. He quit work abont 6 o'clock onthe morning of the accident, being relievedby Isaac Lane. The ladle was. in a verybad shape. There was no bottom, it beingout clear to the brick.' He put the ladle iuthe ladle-p- it and pnt on it just enoughwater to cool it off. He had

SPOKEN TO THE MANAOEES

about four months previous about the badcondition of the ladle. The bricks in thebottom were swollen out, and he thoughtwater got under them. In his opinion theladle was defective and needed repairs.

ABlackalder. dav superintendent of themill, was at the fnrnace .when the accidenthappened. He ordered the heat tapped andthe flow ot steel was good. He heard theexplosion and screams and ran to give as-sistance. There were about 40,000 poundsin the ladle at the time of the accident.He could not see any way that water couldget under the bricks in the bottom of theladle. 'He was notified abont fonr monthsprevious that the ladle was in bad conditionand had the boss bricklayer repair it. Sev-

eral ladlemen had been cautioned againstputting too much water in the ladles to coolthem off.

I. J. Morton night superintendent, wasat the mill when the accident ocenrred.Mr. Dorsey had 'repqrted to him about theladle needing repairs six months before andit bad been attended to; half of a new bot-tom had been pnt in. The bottom containedseven inches oi brick He thought damp-ness in the bottom was what "caused thesteel to boil over." They had no extra ladlesabout the mill, and he doubted if one wasthere if the men wonld use it, as it wasquite a job to get a ladle out of the pit toput another one in.

At this point the inquest was adjonrneduntil Wednesday afternoon.at 1:30 o'clock.
