A visit to the outer door OF the State
prison few days ago showed everything
TO be in the very best Of order. The cor
respondent OF the Sunday Leader was
welding the large key almost as grace
fully as he wields the pen. Capt. Lowe
was on hands, ready and willing to &c.
commodate, to the best OF his ability, all
who might call on him. As we did not go
beyond the outer gate. we cannot say what
was going on within, but doubtless every
thing was In the best OF order as II always
is.

Of fine dwelling house in the Upper

On the Goblet Works is this notice:
"No book agents, peddlers or beggars al.
lowed in these works"
Prof. Duff left on the morning boat Fri.
day to visit his family at Harmar. He will
return Sunday evening.
1t is generally decided by the Gravel
Hillpeople that something must be had
in their new church to celebrate its COM
pletion. A meeting has been held, but at
that no decision was made.
This hot dry weather has made de.
mand for the water from the Gravel Hill
well. The people there quietly rejoice
that the we'll is theirs for all time and that
they cannot be shut out.
Fires have been started In the Indian
run brick-yard.
J. W. Shannon and St. Clair Kelly, Of
st. Clairsville, were in town Friday.

The wiudowglass works have up the
wire for atelephone between their Union
street office and the factory. 1t runs
across the creek on the B. 6S. W. bridge.
The office end will be in Maring & Go. 3
office until the glass company builds a
new office. The old Office is to Be moved
away and new and larger one built in
its room.
DR.. E. B. Yost, the father OF DR.. Yost
who was drowned at Wheeling, and Alex.
Mosgrove, an uncle, were in town Friday.
Posters were put up offering fifty dollars
reward for the recovery OF the drowned
man. II any one at Bellaire finds the
body, and it Is not improbable that it
may be, let him report the fact to John
Sanders.
The Goblet works telephone wire crosses
the creek Just below the Belmont street
bridge and cuts across lots and along
alleys.
The new stack at the Etna glass house
is nearly done. 1t looks immense, as no
part is yet covered by roofs.
A new roof and entire new front is be-
ing PIT to the house OF Mrs. Matling, that
was moved some days ago.
Rockershousen & Sterritt, at their Pitts
burgh coal works, have made change in
wages that increases the price from S2 80
to S2 go for digging.
The new part of the window glass house
is framed. This furnace will start up prob
ably by the middle Of September.
The FIRST Of the new passenger cars for
the Bellaire and Southwestern arrived
Friday. Itcame on broad gauge trucks
and was Immediately transferred TO the
narrow trucks. It does not look so top
heavy as the old ones. Thestyle is some
thing like the first ones. Que part Is for
baggage and U. S. Mail.
The BuLIetin is disposed to make fun Of
some disconnected phrases Randall, the
Evangelist, painted on the creek bridge,
Friday, with white lead from hollow
cane. "Who also betrayed Him. was on
one side, Come let US kill Hin" on the
other, and on the railing was, .But he be-
gan to curse and to swear" The evange-
list will hold open air meetings here Sum
day and probably Saturday nights.

THE COKE SITUATION.
Unsettled by over Production-The
Wages Element.


Wages Element.
PITTSBURGH, May 8!-Coke men agree to-
day that the wild vagaries of their busi-
ness puring the past two months have
been without parallel in the history Of
this great industry. The price to-day is
back to s. so and s. per ton at the ovens,
alter swift advance TO IS per ton and an
equally swift depression to the present
anti.boom rates. Before the present
advance in iron, there were in
round numbers 5000 coke ovens
in the Connellsvill and adjacent re-
gions. When furnaces long cold began
10 FIRE up and coke makers saw big de-
mand coming new ovens were begun, and
to, day intelligent men in thetrade estimate
these new enterprises at 1900 additional
ovens completed or in process OF construc.
tion. and with the old ovens making q
grand total OF 5000.
at was all a big mistake" !" said our coke
man, "this thing Of multiplying ovens. 1t
would have been far preferable to let the
furnacemen wait for their coke rather
than be in the shape business is now"
Further inquiry showed that work on
nearly all the new ovens was suspended.
FricE & Company state that they will sus.
pend operations tomorrow until matters
have settled into better shape. They
have reduced their wages 10 cents per
oven for drawing and 5 cents per wagon
for mining, or Just what wages were paid
on the lst Of January. Dispatches from
Connellsville announce that the men will
strike against this reduction. At the office
OF the fam It was learned that at the re-
dnction the men could make good wages
and also that no protracted stlike was
looked for. The firm ia not anxious tc
turn out coke at present, even at the re
duction.
three dollars per ton 70 meet the views o
furnace men, said a coke manufacturer
"and 1t is clearly the ore mems turn Il
make concessions"
"Was there much coke contracted for q
FIVE dollars?'

The price to-day is from g so to $ 0

The anniversary exercises OF the Wo-
mans Foreign Missionary Society connect
ed with the NJ. E. Church were held here
on Sunday evening. Miss Taylor, Of the
Wheeling Female Seminary delivered an
address, which has been highly spoken Of.
The altar Of the church was beautifully
decorated with flowers. On the wall back
OF the pulpit was the words in letters OF
evergreen, az shall give thee the heather
for thine inheritance" The work Of the
Society for the.past year has been very en-
couraging.
Our revolving council met last night.
At their initiatory meeting the question
was up as to granting license for the sale
OF spiritous aud malt liquors, which was
laid over for action at q called meeting.
The called meeting was held, and there
was refusal to grant license for either
spurious or malt liquors, which action was
supposed to be final. But at the meeting
last night another turn OF the crank, the
machine goes round and "beer license"
is read upon the indicator.
There is beginning TO be some consider.
able talk as to who will be the successor
TO our worthy Sheriff, j. E. Curtis. Quite a
number OF prominent gentlemen Of both
parties have been named.
There has been some little talk concern
ing fusion. As far as we can learn, at this
tune, fusion is not very popular among the
Republicans. But you can not tell exactly
ut this stage OF the agitation. Many look
upon 1t as n bad scheme.
There are not many third.termers here
II is generally conceded that the uomina
tion Of Gen. Grant will be very disastrous

world. This is all true for "He himself

ing at the circus, and hearing the clown say
his funny things, while many OF our
older ones are debating in their minds as
to whether the sin Of going to the circus
will be concealed by paying strict atten-
ton to the animals and only visiting the
circus part to take care Of the children.
John Robinson is iavorite here and q
large crowd wilIno doubt greet him at each
entertainment. The canvass will be
erected on Bakewell's lots, so near the
school building that both teachers and
pupils will enjoy q holiday. Bot they
will not go to the show. Oh, no not ever
