INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

The pottery is running very steadily,
nothing happening that is OF public inter
est.
Valuable sand for the manufacture of
glass has been found near Carabella, Flor
ida.
The glass houses throughout the city are
making large quantities of their ware, but
complain about trade being dull.
Sweeney & Sons have more work on hand
at their foundry than they can readily get
through with until late in the fall.
Colebrook furnace. at Lebanon, Pa, has
chilled, and efforts are being made to cool
it off quickly, so that the iron can be dug
out.
The timbers for the rolling mill of the
Pennsylvania nut and bolt works, at Leba.
non, have been raised, and the mill soon be
ready for understanding.
The intense heat the last few days has
compelled good many of the workmen at
the Whitaker Iron Works to lay Off But
the mill is running its full capacity.
The mills of this city, after the extensive
repairs now being made at nearly all OF
them, will be in better condition for good
work than for years past.-LabOr Tribune.
Chambers & Co. are building vial fac.

A patent has been granted to Pitts

A young Pittsburgher, but an English
man by birth, has about finished a nail
making machine which is exciting great
interest among the few who have seen its
operations. 1t is claimed for the machine
that it will cut nails three times as fast as
any machine in existance. A Wheeling
firm is particularly interested, and a COM
pany will probably be formed for making
the new machine.
The rolling mills have all about finished
their repairs, which in some of them were
quite extensive. In q conversation by our
reporter with several of the mill owners
they stated that they were ready to 60 TO
work at any time if the strike could be set
tied satisfactory to all parties, and that as
far as the mills were concerned, why they
were fully repaired and only needed the
fires to start up at any time"

BAFFLED AND HURT.
The Result OF the BeaIs Brothers At
tempt TO Break Jail.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon, the
vicinity of the Court House was startled by
the ringing reports of some four or i've
shots, which came from the direction OF the
Jail and which sent crowd OF people
skurrying in that direction. A REGISTER
commissioner was near by and following
with the rest, heard the rumors of a gener.
al attempt to break Jail, which was colored
BY the fact that two Red Men were con-
fined there. A knot of people were hang
ing over the front fence interestedly watch
ing the yard below in which was being en-
acted the scene which only those in the
front row could observe. Presently it was
announced they are caught" and then in
terest ceased and the crowd dispersed.
IT seems that Messrs. John and Elias
Beals, two of the three brothers confined
in the Jail to await trial for the shooting of
Harry Paxton, made a determined and
nearly successful attempt to escape. These
two are the turnkeys for the upper corri-
dor, and at 3 o'clock Tailor Davis had had
the evening meal brought up and turned
over to them. While they distributed the
food, he sat on the steps at the door. Pres
emily woman ut the west end called him
over, and when he reached her cell, quick
as flash, the Beals sprang out and locked
the door.
Davis was prisoner, but he drew his re.
volver and going to the west window, hred
several shots to warn the police or anybody
who might be within hearing. In the
meantime, Elias Beals had leaped from
the north third-story window to the Jail
wall. 1t was a desperate chance and he
missed it. falling back to the yard below
and sustaining serious injuries. His right
wrist suffered o compound fracture, and his
head was badly cut. John, who had less
nerve. or more precaution, ran down stairs
and finding'the front door LOCKED went into
the yard. Miss Jessie, the jailors daugh-
ter followed the men down and gave the
alarm and warned the contractors at work
in the yard. Fortunately the gate had just
been put up and, bafiled, the two men hid
in the boiler room and were easily recap
tured. The corridor key, which had been
flung under the boiler was found by Jani-
tor Flynn.
Drs. Wilson and Hoge dressed the wounds
of Elias, and he and his recreant brother
were safely locked up, subject to the usual
diet penalties
Jailor Davis says it was a case of mis-
placed confidence. John Beals was suffer
ing from a cutaneous disease known as
"shingle," and on that account was allowed
a little liberty. He is the only married
man Of the three, and recently received
letter from his wife announcing her ap
preaching confinement This, il Is sup
posed, determined him to escape. Elias
had plenty of nerve, but it will be some
time before he is ready to repeat the effort.

PARKKRsBuRe, July 27.-The recent floods
in the tributaries of the Little Kanawha
and the breaking of the timber bcoms and
consequent loss of ties, which are caught AZ
different points on the river, affords good
opportunity for parties so disposed to do
some stealing in that line. From recent
developments it appears that there are per
sons who have embraced the opportunity
afforded. Amongst the heaviest losers IN
the way OF railroad ties, by the last foodin
Reedy, was the firm of Armstrong ana
Denny, of Roane county. and great many
of their ties reached the Ohio river, and
were found and caught at different points
from here down as low as Rayenswood ana
Pomeroy. Capt. Newt Armstrong. one OF
the above firm, has been down the river
looking after their interests, ana n w1g
reason to believe that man named Wsus,
who lives on the river below here, had Sc.
cured and loaded some OF
their ties. bad two of Wells
loaded barges attached at this point on
Wednesday and tied up, and the ties I'M
loaded and the brands examined, when 1t
was found that Capt Armstrong was cor.
rect in his suspicious, as several hundred
of their ties were found in the barges and
also ties belonging to John Cornell, Rath'
burn, McConoughy x Co., and other par
ties who had bought and paid for them.
A third boat, loaded by parties below
here, was sold to Mr.. Thompson. Of Middle
Island Creek, and is on the way up there,
but will be attached and the ties examined
and claimed by the proper owners. :,
The young man Dawson, the alleged mail
robber, still remains in jail here, his father
having failed to secure the necessary bal!
while here this week The next United

of the boys father to have the case come to
trial as soon as possible, and Is quite hone
