PITTSBURGH, March THE Western
Window Glass Manufacturer Association
was in session here this afternoon. The
attendance was large, nearly all tte facto.
ries being represented. Reports from all
sections indicate very depressed condl-
tion OF the trade with the future outlook
decidedly unpromising. The present state
Of affairs was caused by the agitation otthe
tariff, and now that the question is settled,
the reduction made will initiate against
an improvement. No changes were made
in rates, and the question OF cutting wages
was left over with the summer shut down.
PrrTsBuRoH, March 7.-secretary Weeks,
OF the Western Iron Association, has dis.
covered what he considers as good fight
ing chance left for the wire rod industry,
which protectionists and even free traders
declared was completely killed by the pas
sage OF the new tariff law. He says there is
clause in the bill which provides that
when the two rates OF duty are applicable
to the same article it should be taxed at
the highest rate. In this case there is a
higher and lower duty, which he believes
applicable to wire rods, ,.and il so decided
importers will have to pay the higher rate.
This will enable those having capital in
the industry to continue to compete with
foreign trade.
New York, March THE Tariff bill is
stirring up business men here. Abran s.
Hewitt said to-day that the business in
iron rope will be destroyed, and that the
business Of chain.making will have to be
abandoned.
Henry L. Shippy, manager Of the great
Trenton works OF John s. Roebling 4
Sons, says that the wire.rope business is
ended in this country. -
James and William Lyall, the jute man
ufacturers, said thatthe change in the duty
on jute will drive several California manu-
facturers out OF the business, and that now
the great Dundee jute manufacturers will
have an advantage over the Americans be-
cause OF the cheapness OF labor in Dundee.

coming and almost wishes now he had moi
predicted 1t in the interest ofiscience. how,
ever, he felt it duty he owed his fellow
creatures. He promises early next week to
publish to the world the theory on which
he based his representations. The weather
this evening is somewhat milder and the
wind has subsidized.
Virgins regards this as the calm before
the storm.
HALIFAX, March s.-The northern lights

day these would proceed his storm. A

A newspaper Libel Suit.

WASHINGTON, D, G., March S,-The Rev.
Mr. Hicks, Guiteau's spiritual adviser, sued
the Graphic Company OF New York for
libel, in paving published statement that
he had demanded S90oOtrom the Govern
ment for Guiteau's skeleton. Suit was
brought in this District, and the notice was
served on the newspapers correspondent.
Counsel for the company filed an answer
to-day denying the Jurisdiction OF the
court on the ground that the company is a
corporation established elsewhere and not
doing business in this District. 1t is said
that this question has never been deter
mined in this District with reference to a
civil suit for libel, although It has been de-
termined in a criminal suit Of this kind.
The question excites some interest on that
account, because 1t is said that a decision
in favor OF the plaintiff might tend to es.
tablish the doctrine that newspaper pub
lished in any part Of tho country can be
sued here by serving summons upon Its
correspondent stationed here and be
brought here TO answer.

WASHINGTON, March S.-senator Dorsey
furnishes for publication the following
card. To the Associated Press II am in.
formed that you sent to the country the
villainous fslsehood that appeared in the
Star tonight as the statement Of Reerdell.
The Associated Press being supreme in its
sphere am forced to appeal to it and ask
that what I say may be placed beside
what the perjurer says. never saw
Belford on tho cars; never played game
oil cards in his presence anywhere or at
any time; never gave him check Of any
kind whatsoever for any purpose in the
world; never met him in my lie except
in Washington or in Denver and then only
socially. Reerdell saysI was here in Octo.
ber, in 1879, and that be spoke to me about
the check. l was not here on any day after
the llth OF July, 1879, until
about August, 1880, and in the
meantime | had not seen Reerdell.
This story is one that flows from the mouth
OF selt.admitted perjurer and thief. Beer
deli never kept book for me; never
wrote line in book for me; never made
a charge for me never had a check book
OF mine, unless he stole 1t. No check, no
stub Of check; no entry Of any name or
character ever existed upon which to base
this infamous libel Reerdelps statement
is the natural outgrowth Of the usual
iniamy Of transmitted power, and he fairly
represents it.

novel features as to cause profound sensa.

S!ebbins was an unbeliever OF the Inger.

slowly wasting away with consumption. A
few weeks ago he addressed farewell edi.

preaching dissolution with the utmost
freedom, and the article attract

his death he extracted from his
family promise that no minister, OF
whatever denomination, should be allowed
to hold services Of whatever kind over his
remains. He was member OF the organ.

and desired that the services, both at the
house and grave, should be conducted by
them. He further stipulated that the
Knights OF Honorand the mourpers, while
following his remains TO their last resting
place, should sing that old army song,
Marching Through Georgia, "and that on
the return from the cemetery they should

song, "Good.by, my lover, good-by." These
strange requests, made by Mr.. Stebbins on

WASHINGTON, March s-The convent at
Georgetown is agltated over the disappear
ance Of one OF the nuns who was known
among her companions as Sister Lorenzo.
She was the daughter Of a well.to.do citi-
zen OF Reading, Pa, and about nineteen
years ago, displeased at somereal or fancied
slight, left her home and entered the con-
vent US o cloister nun. Sister Lorenzo
speedily became great favorite among

the reputation Of being one Of the best
loved and quietest inmates oi the institu-
ton. .u-,..,.. =.
A Pennsylvania Representative visited
her q short time ago, in company with
some lady acqualntanoes OF Sister Lorenzo,
and in the course OF conversation the gen.
tleman addressed her by her proper name
and asked II she was not tired OF convent
life. She blpshed, but made no reply, as
abe was acco. .npanied by another nun, in
conformity with the rules Of the establish.
ment. A few days later she received notice
that her parents had died and that their
estate, ess G worth about $4,000, was at her dis.
posal. The news was apparently good news,
Tor In q short time she left the convent.
Her absence was reported to the Superior,
who informed the scholars OF the affair, but

four Chinamen bore the bore the body into

coffin was Of black walnut, and cross

upon It. There was also floral harp sur.
