Neusy Notes From the Different Glass
Works, Mills, Etc.

The trouble at the Union flint glass
works is all over and things are moving
along smoothly again. The trouble
brought about was over q mortgage held on
the works by bank which they threaten
ed to foreclose. This caused considerable
dissatisfaction among the stockholders, and
for some time things fail to g." This
matter has all been satisfactorily settled
ND and good time is again being made.
Five shops are running on different kinds
of light ware, for which there is a good
demand. The designs being made are
handsome. The workmanship is superb,
and the quality cannot be excelled for
brilliancy.
The success of Mr.. Wood, the manager, is
excellent. Some nice orders are being re-
ceived and the prospects are good. Nike
Hoar. one OF the best blowers in the couu-
try. is back at the works. Frank Winship,
Secretary, is off for two weeks trip to
New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland aud
other places in the interest OF the WORKS.
Henry Kuckuck, formerly clerk at the
Buckeye, is the latest addition TO the OIL
fee force.
The EIson glass works continues boom
ing. From twelve to fifteen shops are IN
operation, and all kinds of ware is man
ufsctured and shipped as fast As
made. The outlook is first.clasS-
At the Martins Ferry Stove Works Il
moulde1s are employed and full time is
made. Lots Of frst-clase ware Is made,
for which there is a good demand.
The Buckeye Glass Works is almost as
busy as ever. The upper furnace has been
let out, leaving the middle one and the
lower one in operation. Four shops are
working on lamps, five on lantern globes
seven on pressed goods and one on hsn'
hmps and jugs. Seven melts are made pc
week and the ware is fine. Orders ar
plentiful and the outlook is encouraging

THAT SETTLES IT,.

Brought Into Competitiea with the
World, the Best Carries or the Hon.
Ors.
At the great Centennial Exhibition OF 1876,
the leading products Of all the branches Of
the Worlds industry were assembled at Phil
acelrm Tocarry Off prize in the face Of
tcat tremendous competition was a task Of
no ordinary difficulty. Inventions and prep
arations for the alienation OF pain and the
cure OF disease were present in the greatest
possible variety, representing the skill and
the profoundest study Of the age, and it may
be OF vital importance to you, personally. TO
know that the highest and only medal given
to rubber Porous plasters, was awarded to the
manufacturers of BENSON's CAPCINE PoR-
Gus PLASTER, by the following jury:
DIR. VIM. ROTH, surgeon-General Prussian
Army.
J.H. THOMPSON, A. NJ, NJ. D., Washing
ton, C
G. R. WHITE, NJ. D., New Orleans:
ERNEST FLEISCH, NJ. D., Austria.
The decision was afterwards confirmed by
the medical jury at the last Paris Eek position.
Knowing the value of such high and unbi-
ased testimony, the medical profession, both
in the United States and in Europe, quickly
threw aside the old, slow acting plaste rs they
had been using, and adopted Bensons in their
regular practice. That physicians and sur.
geons OF the broadcast regulations did this,
distinctly proves the intrinsic merit OF the
article.
I; IS no more than Just 10 add that the av-
erage physician OF to-day j. not dominated
by the prejudice which retarded the progress
and modified the successes Of his predeccs-
sors OF not more than twenty-five years ago.
He accepts hints from all quarters and en-
dOrseS aud adopts demonstrated l.ealIng
agents wherever he finds them.
The right of Bensons Cspilne Porous Plas-
ter 10 stand at the head OF all external appli-
cations whatsoever, for the mitigation or cure
of disease, Is no longer questioned.
Let the purcL aser, however, he Oh his guard
against limitations. The genuine have the
word CAPCINE cut in the middle.

GENERAL NOTES.
The Mills.

The rolling mill at Hubbard, O., is
still idle.
The Leetonia, o., rolling mill is again
in full operation.
The rolling mill at West Mid !leSex.
Pa, has again begun work.
The Struthers, O., furnace has been
leased by Brown, BOnncll * Co., for 80
days.
There is q rumor at1oat that the roll
ing mill at Sandusky, o., will be par
TALLY converted into nail factory.
All departments of the st. Louis iron
mills in East st. Louis are on steady
double turn, with good orders ahead.
The Brooke nail factory at Birdsboro,
Pa, is running steadily, the wages
question having been settled satisfac-
tOrily.
The Scranton, Pa, Steel CO., is said
to have as many orders ahead as can be
be filled in nine months after start is
made.
The RohrestOwn rolling mill, in Lam
caster, Pa, has been sold to George
loutz for $1,000. There are seven pud-
ding furnaces and other machinery in
this mill.
0. w. Potter, President of the North
Chicago Rolling Mill Co., announces
that unless the mill starts within three
months it will never start at all. A
certificate for an increase of the capital
stock of this concern to 100000 was
filed last Monday at Springfield, Ill.
The Cleveland stockholders Of Brown,
Bonnet, 4 Co.'S mill at Youngstown, o.,
have proposed TO the creditors OF that
firm that they will organize q stock
company with capital OF one million
dollars, take all the property Of that
firm and pay off the Indebtedness in
four years, in annual payments, at & per
cent. The Youngstown creditors favor
the proposition.
The Youngstown, o., News.Register
says: Brown, BOnnell & Co., have
an order for 200 kegs of railroad
spikes. Owners of the West MiddleseX
mills have decided to put in shorter
rolls, as they are not so liable to break.
Three of the mills of Brown, Bonnell x
Co., are being run by receiver Brown
full time in all departments. An
abundance of orders are being booked
at paying prices, and there is no reason
to apprehend the closing OF the mills
for some time to come. Mr.. Robert
Turner, formerly of Youngstown, and
now in charge Of the roll turning de-
partment of the Middlesex mill, has OBJ
tanned patent on set of rolls for roll
ing coupling pins for cars. By means
of his new invention the iron is passed
through the rolls coming out in perfect
pins. Experiments made prove it to
be success.
In the Pittsburgh market pig iron is
quoted as follows: No. foundry, SEQ
$50; No. 2 foundry, S20@2l; neutral
forge, SlS.5OtGl9.50; Bessener iron, 8.
as. 80: cold blast charcoal, SSO(d35
While furnacemen claim that iron car
! not be sold under these prices consuTl
ers assert that the lowest price has 40
been reached. An increased busiaes
the past week would indicate that cur
rent prices at least will obtain. Will
muck bar remains at S33.50G34.50 a
mill, the market for this product cor
tinues dull. In manufactured iro
there is an improvement, while tn
manufs .turers claim that the prices ar
unre plunerstive. In nails the deman
is gJod aud increasing, and from pre-
ELF indications there is no need for an

On May lst the internal revenue tax
on matches will be abolished, and the
tax on.tobaeeo and snuff will be reduced
from sixteen to eight cents q pound.
Bank checks and patent medicines
need not then be stamped. The tax on
cigars and the larger cigarettes will
then be only three dollars a thousand.
These large reductions will considerably
decrease the national revenue, but not
one of them will help the consumers:
Matches and tobaccos, and cigars and
patent medicines will be retsiled at tne
old stands at the old prices. lht
changes inaugurated by Congress viii
prove harvest for the dealers, and the
consumers will have to wait until Eek
