LIVELY TIMES In ERIE.

Raid Upon Dishonest Employes-Two
Months in the County Jail-Detcctives
After the Bosses.
For many years a large number OF persons re-
siding near the line of the Erie Railway, in Jersey
City and elsewhere, have, TO use the expression of
one OF the railroad officials, "lived OF the road " In
other words they helped themselves without per-
mission to COAL wood and other articles. Here
tofOre no effort was made, strange to say, to pro-
tect the company against such losses. Mr.. Watson,
previous to his departure for Europe, enjoned Mr..
Thomas J. Brown, superintendent OF the Pavona
ferry. to organize staff OF detectives. In short
time all kinds OF petty frauds were detected. Pots
OF paint were carried away from the workshops by
employ windows and furniture OF cars
was brought before the Grand Jury and Joseph G.
Gilbert, foreman In the repair shop at Jersey
City, was indicted and brought to trial, as well as
the astounding fact that Gilbert built his house
manly out OF stealings rom the repair shops. He

P1TTsBUPs FACTORIES REsUMINe WORK.

PITTsBURG, Jan. Is, 1874.
The glass manufacture OF Pittsburg, which has
been parayzed TO greater degree by the recent
panic than almost any other branch OF industry is
rapidly reviving. On tomorrow night the very
large mint glass mandatory OF Plunkett 4 Co. in
South Pittsburg will apply the match to their fur
naces and their WORK Will thenceforward go ON
again as before. This establishment has ten
melting pots and employs $50 men, and Is con-
sdered one OF the largest OF the kind in the country
There are also indications OF compromise be-
tween the window glass manufacturers and their
employees, the latter having been on a strike
against proposed reduction OF their wages ever
since last July. There are eighteen OF these manu-.
factories employing when in operation upwards Of
1900 men.
Upon investigation 1t was found that the wages
OF all employees Of this branch OF business here
were so greatly in excess OF those paid Tor the
same work In New Jersey. New York State and
Baltimore-the other large glass manufacturing
centres-that 1t is matter OF wonder that 1t has
been possible to continue business here at all.
But now the wOrkmen manifest disposition to
submit to the terms proposed by the manuiac-
turers and the resumption OF window glass max
ing is a question OF but a lew weeks at furthest.
The un fortunate men who have been engaged in
this strike have been reduced to sucn a strait as
to make the renewal OF operations on their part
imperative. One hundred and twenty five dollars
month wages was rldiculed by them some months
ago, but will now be accepted.

THE HOB0KRN SAVINGS BANK.

After protracted suspension of payment the
above named institution will open its doors to-
day, with the permission Of the Chancellor for the
payment OF one-ffth of the deposits TO every de-
positor. PassbOoks from NO. / to I,0OO and none
others, Will be taken to-day. AS there are not
many books OF such numbers outstanding the rush
will not be SO great as otherwise. But 1t is rar
from probable that the depositors will leave their
ing It, The ridiculous security Of 500 900 given by
the new secretary has not yet been increased.
The safety or 900 IS guaranteed by security to
the extent of only $40 900, and this, coupled with
the fact that not one OF the old directors has yet
resigned, produces general uneasiness. The Rev.
Mr.. bod Is doing his utmost to restore confidence,
Dut with what success remains uncertain.
