A Meeting OF the Glass Flowers Unio
Yesterday In Regard 10 Il.

A Meeting OF the Glass blowers Union
Yesterday In Regard TO Il.
The thirtieth day Of this month, the time
set for the commencement Of the forty.fve
days shut down Of all the glass works in the
country by tbs American Glass Blowers
Union, Is fast drawing nigh, and with It also
come rumors OF Installation over the order
among some members OF the Union. Word
was received from steubenville on Saturday
that the workmen at the Beatty works had
refused to obey the order and that delegG-
ton OF members from Bellaire were expected
to arrive In steubenville and insist that the
works shut down. An 1NTELLIGENcER man
was informed by well posted glass man last
night that the workmena at the Riverside works
OF Welsburg were also determined to work
through the most OF July. The news from
stsubenville and news said to have been re-
ceived from other points was discussed In q
very private manner by the members Of the
local Union here, yesterday morning, and in
held at It's hall in South Wheeling. What
was said or done at that meeting Is not
known outside of the fact that committees
were appointed to walt on the manufacturers
and present some official announcement.
A dispatch was also received from head
quarters stating that all the works would
shut down June 3Oth. reports to the contrary
notwithstanding. The members the Union
are very close mouthed.
Several OF the mills In this vicinity are
oyerrun with orders and have no stock on
hand notwithstanding the fact that they
have been running with full force for months.
The shut down will cause them big loss
and very likely the permanent loss Of some
customers. Other mills have big stocks and
have not been running tull. They are anx-
ious for the closing in order TO unload.

Hon. N. B. Scott, secretary OF the Central
Glass Works, has returned from Boston,
where he was In attendance at the annual
meeting OF the American Lime and Flint
Glass Manufacturers. Mr.. Scott says that the
meeting was one Of the most successful yet
held. All the mandatory, with the ercel-
amount aU Of capital Invested as sepresente at
the met ting was estimated OF 81, 000, 000
"The main question discussed said Mr..
Scott, twas the proposed abolishment OF the
specific charge for packages in q bill Of
goods. This was asked for by the
j)bEers, who were there In force, by
invitation. Their desire was that the item
for package be left out Of the bill and the
price OF the goods increased so as to cover
cost OF barrels and boxes and packing. A
committee was appointed to report 10 the
iobbers that at present we deemed It mex.
pedient to accede to the request. There
were only five votes Ia favor OF the change.
The re3on? Oh! 1t offered better chances for
cutting prtces.n

AmonNLIaHT PIoNIC
whereat the Music was not Made by. a
Brass Band.

A lively outdoor entertainment not pre-
yiously announced, was furnished the resi-
dents Of the back portion Of the Fifth ward
Saturday night. 1t was in the nature of
war dance, with vocal and tin pan accom-
paniment, the music and dancing being by
Mira Hanson, and the audience being large
and appreciative, II not select.
Mrs. Hanson alleges that she caught her
husband, known as "Tap,n Saturday after
noon, in company with married woman
named Smith, who lives In the brick
row at the corner Of Twenty.third
and Eoff streets She believed he had
gone back there Saturday night, and she
went after him. She stood in the street
and Ia tone Of voice which would make an
orators fortune in Presidential campaign,
demanded that the woman, whom sue de-
scribed In terms more expressive than elegant,
come out and meet her in a fair list tight:
The woman didn't come, and she announced
mar intention to tear down the house. Some
lind friend had dumped q few cart loads OF
Tin cans on a vacant lot near, and the be-
sieging party commenced BY throwing these
at the windows. Some Of them went through
and some hit the wall and fell to the
payement, only 10 be thrown sgain.
These missiles having no effect but to
make noise that might have Weakened the
dead OF the last. generation who repose in the
deserted cemetery near, the woman added
boulders to her ammunition. Still the be-
siegedwould not undertake sortie. Then
Ms. Hanson went TO the back door, and beat
a fusilade, accompanying It, as she had her
former attack, with continuous vollies oil the
foulest language eyer uttered her voice
echoing back from the Female College, sew

in the township. Occasionally some neigh
