street globes. They weigh about live
pounds each aud their manufacture will
begin next Wednesday. James Reed, john
Atweil and Wesley Beck employees have
bee n laid on the sick li,t the past week.
The foundation for the Crystal Win
dow Glass Works is about COM
pleted and shows up well.
The Bellaire bottle factory continues
booming with a big g and is probably
one of the busiest factories in the country.
Full time is made and they are rushed
with orders to such an extent that many
coming in lately have been refused. The
factory WAS OIL yesterday on account OF re.
pairs to the furnace.
with orders about the same. The pre- sent
sets. The shipments and prospects are
fair. Orders are plentiful in the foundry
and machine shop. The steering appara'
tus is about completed.
Owing To the accident which recently
occurred at the Belmont glass works only
one melt was made the past week, but bet.
ter time will be made next week in all
probability. The furnace at present in
use was fired on Wednesday, the 18th in
slant, and glass making began on Thursday,
the 18th. This is excellent time and gets
away with anything hereabouts by forty
eight hours. Ware is shipped as rapidly
as made. Theodore COss and Frank Horn.
Bellalre men, have purchased lot Of
glass here, and will make tour through

The buckeye lantern factory Is making

The blast furnace is still Idle.
A little trouble occurred at the Bellaire
mill keg factory on Friday which may
throw the mill off. A cooper was dis
charged by the manager Of the key fac
tory for failing to put a good stave in a
key made and returned 10 him owing to its
deficiency. The coopers notified the man.
ager that unless the discharged man was
taken back they would work no longer,
whereupon they were discharged, and an
effort will be made 10 get men in their
places. This the manager thinks he can
do by to morrow or Tuesday. A sufficient
number of kegs have been made ahead to
keep the factory running until Thursday.
so that no time will be lost unless coopers
cannot be secured.
Good time is being made at the BelIaire
goblet works and everything moves along
nicely. The outlook is fair.
