BELLAIRE INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

The glass house boys are Off They
will now enjoy their long expected rest.
The fires in most of the factories have
been drawn and silence reigns. There
seems to be some difference of opinion
among manufacturers as to whether the
order of the association requiring o six
factories or not. 1t has been reported
that some larger factories will continue
to run after short stop to make the
necessary repairs and start up again as
soon as possible. Our factories are await
ing developments and most of them are
willing to do as their competitors do
as their factories at other points con.
tinue to run, the larger factories here
will certainly do likewise and what
ever repairing has to be done will be be-
gun at once and finished as soon as
possible. Several fishing clubs com.
posed of glass workers started for down
the river yesterday, aud several more
will leave the first of the week and all
go prepared to have a very good
time.
The bars were drawn at the Union
window-glasS works Oh Friday, and the
works are shut down. The cutters eX
peet to finish by Tuesday next, and the
works will then be deserted.
Albert Marshall, one of the feeders in
the Bellaire nail mill, has accepted a
nailer's job in the Laughlin mill at
Martins Ferry.
Dubois & McCoy's planning mills are
crowded with orders and Will run stead
lily all summer, stopping only long
enough to make such repairs rs are alb
solutely necessary.
Burnhilrs boiler works will not shut
down during the summer, but will
work right along. They have just fin
ished a lot of boilers for the Brilliant
mill, and have lots of other work on
hand.
Most of the cooper.shops will con-
tinue to run full without stop.
Brick business is booming and the
yards have all they can do.
The Ohio Valley stove foundry will
shut down this week to make some
necessary repairs, after which they ex-
pect to run right along all summer.
The Bellaire window glass works
were closed down yesterday. Their
new office and pot room, which they
are building down at the works, are to

DEADLY TOY PISTOL.
A Yankee Weapon Of UaIimited
Powers of Destruction.
Krupp Guns ecIipsed-The Small Boys
Passport TO the Coroner and Under
taker-ShaII il Be Allowed on
the fourth2

The Fourth Of July draws near and
the heart of the undertaken is glad.
dened.
For with the Fourth comes the toy
pistol, and with the toy pistol boom
in the undertaking business.
Krupp may boast Of his great guns,
and Whitehead Of his torpedoes, but
for furnishing the coroner and under
taker with st eady business the toy pis-
FOL takes the prize.
There is nothing pretentious about
this engine Of destruction, and as
specimen of artistic workmanship 1t Is
not a success.
But it does its work conseientlousiy
and efieetually, and distributes Its favors
impartially both on the young person
who holds 1t and the individual at whom
it is pointed. .
The toy pistol reached the zenith OF
its fame year ago, as the casualty lists
of that period show, and during the
month July it displayed remarkable
There were 300 toy pistol cases for
the coroner or the doctor during last
summer.
In New York there were sixty.eight
accidents, of which eighteen proved
fatal; in Massachusetts, thirty nine, OF
which twenty-six produced death; in
Pennsylvania twelve, of which ten
were fatal; in Connecticut ten, OF which
five proved fatal; in New Jersey ten,
of which five were fatal; in Rhode Is
land four, of which three were fatal In
| Maine six, Of which four were fatal
and in Chicago sixty, Of which twelve
proved fatal.
For a long time that delusive weapon
the "unloaaed" gun, was regarded a
the most deadly engine OF ctior
in America, and people who deilgntef
in p'ayfully pointing 1t at each oths
never failed 10 kill.
But the toy pistol has nearly driver

mas been pad for miles of compIeted
line, with steel rails and other mate
rial on hand for 10 miles of additional
track, and for part trading, masopry
and bridging q miles, leaving about
S2S9,S9S.l9to complete the line to the
summit and necessary sidinxs.
The balance sheet for 1882 shows So
81, I30.lO. 1t Is the intention Of the
company to extend the line from the
summit TO Davis, near the junction of
the Beaver and Blackwater, import
ant tributaries of the Cheat River, .
distance Of six miles. This line will be
easily built. Davis will be made the
terminus Tor the present. IL promises
to be the centre OF q great mining and
numbering interest, being near the juno
ton ofthe Beaver and Blackwater, both
of which drain fine country, and both
are well adapted to floating logs. Be-
sides, the site selected and vicinity Is
underlaid with veins Of coal of the Up
per Potomac coal fields, from both Of
which the company expect to add
largely to its business.
The Grade of the Road
is in favor Of the trade, the maximum
being seventy-feet to the nile where
the line crosses the summit of the Ale
ghanies. This grade is from thirty to
forty per cent. higher than that used by
any OF the trunk lines in crossing the
Allegheny mountains.
II is estimated that the proceeds from
the sale Of the bonds on hand at par
and accrued interest, the price at which
they have been taken, and the profits
OF the company during the construction,
will finish and equip the road TO the
Upper Potomac coal fields. The ST.
0OO,OO bonds authorized ID be issued are
secured by u mortgage on the 1000
acres of coal, iron ore and timber lands
belonging to the company, as also the
road and equipments of the company.
More mines will be opened along the
road and saw mills established. The
iron bridge over the Potomac with 2OO
Baltimore, will be completed next week.
The company recently had constructed
100 coal hopper-ears with capacity OF
twenty tons each, upon which Is used
the Lippencott patent brakes. Several
passenger coaches, freight cars, three
megull engines-large pattern-andone

steel Rails
cover the entire road, fifty-six pounds
over, with all the latest improvements
in the way of joints, etc. The country
is very rough but the road is now in q
good condition, better by far than
many even older. The scenery
along the entiIe line is good.
Colonel II. Il. Davis is general
manager and the construction is under
the management of Capt. w. l.. Por-
ter. Mr.. Neill Woodrow, an old Wheel
ing boy, is Auditor. Capt. George w.

the toy pistol, BY Its innocent undemon-

The hammer Of the toy pistol Is sd-
mirsbiy adapted for the work OF de-
struction.
Frequently it refuses to explode the
cap until the youthful patriot looks into
the barrel to see what il the matter.
That is the toy pistols favorite OPP
portunity and 1t never fails to avail itself
oft.
One of the most careful features Of
this Fourth Of July plaything is that
lockjaw generally succeeds an appar.
emily trihing wound inflicted by it.
In many instances the demise Of the
victim Is attended by frightful convul-
sions akin Ia those Of hydrophobis.
illuminate ofmercury forms the chief
ingredient of the decorating wafer OF
the toy pistol, and is a fruitful cause
oflockjaw.
Cannot something be done to stay the
deadly work Of this disbolical inven.
ton.
Already it has started out on the war
path.
A Brooklyn boy named William
Graham shot himself in the left hand
the other day with toy pistol.
Ii vigorous measures are not adapted
at once this terrible destroyer will
eclipse its record Of last year.
The small boy thinks that no we'll or.
ganized patriot should be without it.
Parents persist in considering il HARM
less, deceived by its Innocent looks.
Manufacturers consider themselves
absolved from all blame when they
label these weapons with directions for
their use which are never read.
The Fourth of July is near and the
authorities should adapt efficient meas
ures to suppress this instrument OF
death.
BY all means abolish the toy pistol.
No more ,pernicious continuance Was
ever devised for the destruction OF the
small boy.
1t is his passport to the grave.

reporter met one of the officials of this
industry, and was informed that trade
was very dull, prices very low, and
great scarcity of orders even at the re-
duced rates. He claimed that stop
was really necessary, if for nothing else,
than to strengthen the tone of the
market.
There is some talk of the Top mill
forge department working full time,

Wilson d Durlevy's cooper shops
only worked four days this week. The
cause of this establishment only work.

money on the GLORIOUS Fourth.
The Central glass works closed down
Saturday and will not start up again
until the 18th Of August.

Mill Matters.

The plate mill of the Birmingham,
AL, rolling mill is rapidly approaching
completion.
Sixty-four furnace men employed by
the Newark, n. j., zinc works have
struck against ten cents a day reduc-

The Keystone iron works, at Reading,
which have been idle for some time,
have resumed work.
Most of the striking helpers at the
Penn iron works, Lancaster, Pa, re-
sumed work without securing the in.
crease asked for.
The Greenwood rolling mill, which
has been closed since the failure
ofC.F. Schooner, has been leased by
Daniel Shepp and III. A. Weldy, and
will be started this week.
The iron and steel mills of the city
have all they can possibly do at pres
ent, and are running on full time. The
outlook is very bright, and there is no
indication of complication here, such as
disturb other manufacturing centers.
The assurance has been given the
workers in Burdens mill that the wage
scale shall not be disturbed, and a feel
ing of content prevails. The full ca
pacity of the works is tested by the out.
put now, and q market found for all
the product. The consequence OF this
feeling of security among the army OF
iron workers is felt throughout the city
by business men, and especially by
storekeepers in the southern part OF the
