Frank Fultonstein, mailer at the Bel
mont mill, had SCI stolen from his resi-
dence on Market street, Thursday evening,
during the absence of the family. The thief
must have been well acquainted with the
premises and where he kept his money, as
nothing was disturbed in the house except
the bureau drawer that contained the
money, the lock of which was picked with
q lOd. Clinch nail, which was left in the lock.
Some silly andsensational correspondents
Of the daily press, in commenting on the
decline say that fear is expected thst the
workmen will refuse to abide by the sliding
scale because, as it is stated, they have for
some time been contemplating an advance
of wages" We heard the prediction that
the only man who has any fear about the
workmen" is the correspondent who wrote
il. and he drew on his imagination for the
unfounded report. The Philadelphia iron
workers are good members of the Amalga-
mated Association, an organization that
has never violated an agreement or scale OF
wages entered into with the manufacturers
in any section of the country, no matter
how its members may have been beaten or
bit. if you please in the bargain. On that
point do we particularly pride ourselves.
The men who are governed by the Philadel-
phia scale will work on until the present
scale is changed, if ever it is changed

If the Ohio Valley road is completed it

lars 10 owners of factories south of the

On Tuesday the Columbus Rolling mill
turned ont two hundred and forty tons of
steel rails, all of them being trst.class
work. This is against one hundred and
fifty tons of iron rails per day before the
mill was remodeled and speaks highly for
the character of the machinery which has
been introduced.
The Guernsey mines have been flooded
since Wednesday night and mining opera.
tions have been suspended. The flood was
caused by the clogging Of the water box,
thereby backing the surface water into the
mines. The pumps were pnt to work on
Sunday and work is now resumed. The
old Company Mines were also delayed by
the high waters, but for one day only.
The furnace at the Lantern Globe works
was blocked yesterday, and it may remain
so for some time. This was made necessary
by lot of half-grown boys, who made a
demand for more wages than is paid any
place for the same work. The blocking of
the furnace throws men oet of work who
are not only willing, but anxious to keep
going, and some of them have families de-
pending on them. 1t is more than likely
that some arrangements will be made by
which the boys will go to work next week
