success They raised enough money
by subscription to purchase the old
distillery lot and buildings, and an
adjoining lot along the railroad, and
have articled with Mr.. Ihmsen, of
Pittsburg, for the completion of the
works on their premises. The building
on the lot, formerly used as a bonded
ware house, has been torn down and
will be placed at the west end of the
distillerv building, and will contain
the furnaces The distillery building
itself will be used for packing and
storing rooms, and its basement for
mixing room and the storage of sand
and lime. These with a small resi-
dence on the lots, which will be used
for an Office, will complete the build
ings Mr. Ihmsen says he will have
the works ready for operation by the
| first of August, but cannot commence
until the first OF September, as the
glass workers, according to the rules
of their Union do not work during the
months of July and August. About
thirty glass workers, blowers and cut
ters, will be employed in the estab-
lishment. These men will work for
no less wages in Butler than they can
get in the city. BY the rules of their
Union they dare not do so, and conse-
quently the advantages to the proprie-
tors of the establishment from having
it located here, instead of in the city
are limited almost alone to the matters
of taxes and rents, and until the COM
pletion of the new railroad, at least,
these will be cou1terbalanced by in
creased freights, both on the raw
material coming here and the manu-
factured goods going from here. The
Pennsylvania Company seems to have
grudge against this town, and dis
eliminates against it.
The principal articles that enter into
the composition of glass are, white
sand, lime and soda ash. The white
sand used by the Pittsburg manufac-
tories is brought from Huntingdon
county, but there are said to be several
banks of it in this county, which the
new railroad lines may bmng into the
market. The freights on the sand from
Huntingdon county to Pittsburg
amounts to more than the original
cost of the sand. The lime used comes
from Tyrone and Duncansville. and
the soda ash from Europe. Soda ash
is manufactured in great quantities in
England and although there is duty
of one-fourth ola cent pound on it
the European manufacturers can so far
undersell the manufacturers of it in this
county that it's manufacture in this
county has almost entirely ceased.
