PITTSBURGH, Pa, November 16.-The
iron manufacturers Of this vicinity are
greatly disappointed at the conditian Of
trade. The expectation was that the year
would closewith brisk business, butnow,
In addition to the low prices which have
been ruling for the last eighteen months,
orders are falling Of. The result is that
only one or two mills in the city are run
ming full in all departments, and there are
rumors that in several work will shortly
be suspended entirely. A member Of the
firm Of Jones & Laughlin said to-day that
there was absolutely no money in the
business and he did not see how some
mills were kept out Of the Sheriff's hands.

PrrrpURGa, Pa, November l6.-The
conference Of glass manufacturers and
employees which has been in progress hero
for the past two days adjourned this even
ing without arriving at settlement The
workmen through their committee de-
mandcd an increase Of fifteen per cent on
certain sized glass and offered to accept q
reduction on others
The manufactures stated that they were
willing TO start the fires in the factories, but
could not not do go unless reduction of Is
per cent on single and 80 per cent on
double thick glass. The workmen offered
10 submit the question to arbitration under
the Wallace act. but this was objected to,
on the ground that outsiders were
not familiar with. the business.
A sub committee Of one Of the
manufacturers and one workman was then
appointed who will confer as soon as posi-
ble and Il some arrangement cannot be
reached, whereby the present aud all tu-
ture wages troubles can be settled without
ressrting to strikes. The conference conf
mittee then adjourned till December Sth,
unless called together earlier by the SUBJ
committee.
The proceedings OF the conference have
been watched with great interest by large
number OF importers agents, and failure
to agree was received by them with undis'
guised satisfaction. Thomas B. Atterbury,
prominent glass manufacturer, declared
in an interview tonight that he and many
other iron and glaes manufacturers haye
como to the conclusion that protective tariff
does not protect, and that q revival in the
iron and glass trades cannot be hoped for
until all tariff restrictions are removed.

OAKLAND, MD, November 16.-John
Smith was hanged this afternoon for the
murder Of Josiah Harding, at Elkins, Md,
in May last. The day was clear and very
cold, in consequence Of which very few
people came to town. To comply with the
law, which requires a private execution, the
gallows was erected in the jail yard imme-
diately back Of the jail and enclosed by a
board fence twenty feet high, and to pre-
vent any trouble or disturbance and all
persons except the number prescribed by
law from viewing the execution the Gar
rett Guards were stationed around thejai
and no one was allowed to pass unless
holding the sheriff's card OF admission.
But thirty persons were admitted inside
the fence, this number including the
jail physician, DR.. ]. Lee McComas,
Or. E. II. Bartlett, Rev. Benz. o, Ison, off,
ciating minister, who has been counseling
with and assisting Smith 10 prepare for
death; Thos. j. PeddiCord, one Of the at
torneys for the defense, newspaper report
ers and the sheriff's friends.
This morning Smith ate hearty break
fast and asked for half pint Of whisky,
but was refused, when he became very
angry. Mr.. Ison was with him nearly all
morning, praying and singing to him.
Smith made full confession Of his crime,
but heretofore has always been defiant,
protesting his innocence.
LAST HOURS OF THE MURDERER.
At l o'clock he was taken from his cell,
and walked from. there to the gallows with
steady nerve and etep, unconcernedly
smoking cigar, until placed on the trap
door, when, at the request Of the Sheriff, he
threw it away. While passing from the
Jail to the yard he was spoken to by differ
ent persons, to whom he said, "Good byt;
God bless you ALL" and laughed. While
nthe gallows he, in a natural voice, with.
out tremor, confessed his guilt, saying
that when he committed the crime he was
under the influence of whisky; and he also
left message with the Sheriff for his wife,
who saw him last on Sunday. Rev. Ison
then prayed and descended the steps to
the ground, leaving on. the platform the
Sheriff and his deputies. +
At lis Sheriff Jamison sprung the trap
door, and Smith fell distance OF three aud
one-hall feet. Seventeen minutes later he
was pronounced dead by Drs. McComas
and Bartlett, death being caused by atran-
gulation. After hanging for thirty.ave
minutes the body was taken down asd
placed in the coffin. When the black cap
was removed his countenance had q nat
ural appearance, not disbgured in the
slightest. He wss buried in the Jail yard,
just back Of the gallowp, in order TO pre-
vent his body from being disintered and
removed by any one except his friends.
BE desired that his remains be sent to kis
home in Virginia, but this will not be done
unless his relatives or friends attend to it.
