PITTsBURG, Pa. May 1O.-To-day
is being observ ed as a holiday, all
the banks being closed, and business
generally suspended, in honor of
the opening of the Centennial.
AT IL Al a. M, the time of the
opening of the exposition at Phila-
delphia, the fire department struck
the alarm bell in the City Hall, and
all the gongs of the depot. These
rang until u o'clock. and with the
chorus of church chimes, and the
bells of engines and boats, made a
noise seldom heard. An old bell
which has for years hung in the ro-
tunda ofthe court house as relic,
was rung to-day, for the first time
in many years, 1t was cast in 1900,
and is said to be the oldest bell
west of the Allegheny mountains.
In olden times il was used to sum
mon children to school, and alarm
citizens of fire.

BELLAIRE.

The Republican Congressional Con-
vention will convene IN this city next
Tuesday. Dantord will be the man Of
course.
1t was thought yesterday evening that
the repairs on the Central Ohio division
of the B. Il o. railroad, near Neti's Sid
ing, would be far enough advanced by
night that trains would pass through
without further delay this morning.
A GREAT deal of damage was done by
the late heavy rains along almost all the
small streams in the country.
THE cherry crop will not be failure
this year by any means.
THE Bellalre city band carried of the
laures at Steubenville on Wednesday
last.
The Democratic Congressional Con-
vention will meet in this city on the sec
ond Monday in August. This is entirely
too late in the season, as it don't give q
candidate sufficient time to get over the
district.
THE pay car of the B. " o. Railroad
Company passed through this city yes
terday morning and scattered green bless
ings to quite large number of men.

shlrking and dilatory pipe-lightning, no
guards to watch for the foreman, no
waste of meterial on time. Never before
had so much work been performed in a
day; never had such skill, economy. apti-
tude, and intelligence been shown at the
benches, and never had better goods
been made. The men were apparently
satisfied, and the firm was more than
compensated for the increased outlay by
the improved quality OF the goods. Sew
eral months passed, and the house an
nounced that in few weeks it would
have a surplus of ten thousand dollars to
divide among the workmen. Suddenly
led away by some epidemic of unrea 'on,
the men struck for reduction of time to
eight hours. The Proprietors would not
consent to this, and as a consequence for
two weeks the shops were closed. In vain
we're the men shown the money coming
to them; in vain was it demonstrated
that they were making more than men in
the same line in other shops. They per
sisted in the strike till they could hold
out no longer, and then resumed work as
before The firm declined to proceed
further with the cooperative experiment.
and what had been fair with promise was
thus brought to disastrous end.
