its nefarious business in Pittsburgh,
under the garb Of an advertising agen--
cy, publish another communication in
the Forest Press of last week, and en-
deavor. to cover up their cowardly re-
fusal to arbitrate the dispute between
them and ourselves, by throwing mud
at us. One point this firm makes In
their last communication, and that is
that our proposition would seem TO
have emanated from some insane asy-
lum; we acknowledge that it was an
insane idea in US to believe that we
could get that firm to agree to fair
settlement; IL isn't their style Of do
ing business. They still invite us to
sue. Now this repeated invitation
might have some eject upon us If we
knew judgment would be worth any
thing after we had it. Another thing:
They propose, il we get judgment
against them for $3s, to pay our ho-
tel bills and attorney fees. Now, If
these blacklegs will pay that money
into court, or deposit It where it will
be devoted to that object whei. the
judgment is obtained, we will give the
proposition our attention; we are not
insane enough to take the scord Of
those who have violated ,critten con-
tract.
But we arc not alone In setting
down this firm as q set Of thieves and
scoundrels, and just wish to call atten.
ton of our readers to the following
item clipped from the Derrick of yes
terday mornings: ~
WEAVER & Co.
The Steubenville (O.) Herald has
the following item:
Another batch of stuff from Wea.
yer & CO., Advertising Agents, Pitts
buigh, consigned to the waste basket. >"
Ii all the newspapers in Western
Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio would
follow the example Of the Herald, the
newspaper business would profit by it,
and would also rid themselves of
dishonest agency.
This little game of theirs, disput.
ing bills, and trying to blackgaurd
publishers out Of their just dues, is
about played out, and if the newspa.
per men whom they have swindled
would but make the facts know, j.
Weaver e. Co.'S advertising business
in short time would be as scarce as
their honesty. A.C5A
To prove our position, we will mere.
ly give slight installment Of those
documents" they have been so eager
to see:

j. WEAVER q Co.
Our columns are but IS inches, and
this letter was the first We heard of
the 25-inch or the s,5. dodge, and
they state that their letter accepting
our offer was their only contract with
us, so the 25-inch affair, and the sT5
contract to use their language, were
"trumped up" We offered to send
them the contract if We could be as
sured of its return, but never heard
from them again. oAlL 4
