The Prescription GlassworkerS Appren-
tices Now All Ont.
The flint glassworkers are Highly elated
at their success in bringing on the best of
the apprentices at the prescription glass fac
tories now on a strike. These include
Hamilton & Co.'S two factories, libby
Brothers, McCully's, and one al Parker
CITY.
The great difficulty in the way in closing
up the establishments named arose from the
peculiar relations existing between the ap
prentices and the firms. Tehse were over
come BY the Flint Glassworkers Associa-
ton, and yesterday they we're feeling quite
iubilant at what they had accomplished.
In the establishment named there were
about 400 apprentices employed, and these
with e few old fnishers who did not 60
out, enabled the factories % run. The
skilled workmen outworked had TO run on
the apprentices, but there was a stumbling
block in the way. However, they gradually
dropped oil a few at a time until Yesterday
hose who remained fell into line with their
fellow apprentices.
Heretofore the manufacturers confidently
counted on being able to control the appren-
tees. This resulted from the terms Of a
rather one-sided agreement into which ap-
prtntices had to enter. In the first place
they are paid Just oue.half rates for the
same work as skilled workmen get. Then
they obligated themselves not to enter into
any strike or Join any workmen's a~ssocia-
ton duriug the term of their apprentice
ship. To make good the agreement it is
further stipulated that 500 out Of their fist
earnings be retained by the firms as q guar
antee that the terms Of the agreement be
carried out.
The apparent trouble with the appren-
tees was the fear Of losing their wages held
back. The association gave this matter
their attention and have concluded that the
agreement will not stand a legal test, if the
manufacturers refuse to pay over the
amounts due each apprentice. The indica-
tons are that the manufacturers will resist
on the stipulation in the bond, and the
courts will have to pass upon the validity OF
the agreement-Pittsburg Times.
On the 18th inst, the flint glass workers
will again meet in this city to consider the
question of a six weeks summer shut down.

THE LAND CASE.
interesting Testimony Taken for the
Plaintiff.
StON Of the Purchase and the Doubtful
Ttle---Joke on the Court---A
Scheme With an At
tornsy.

The big land suit Of Duhner VS.. FANS
worth and others, was on trial all day, yes'
terdAy, in the United States Court, with
Messrs. Russell and Frame for the plaintiff
and Judge Brsnnon and Ewing, Melvin and
Reilly for the defendants. Testimony for
the plaintiff occupied The entire day. = Mr..
Dufner, the plaintiff, told the story of the
negotiations made with Farnsworth, Thomas
and others, just as given in the REGISTER
one year sgO, when his statement was given
in full. He said he had bought the land,
supposed to be 10000 acres, Of which one
half was presumed to 6e held by actual set
tiers, but otherwise with a good title. After
ward, when attempting to take possession,
he found the title invalid and most Of the
land occupied. In short he said he found
he was swindled and $4,000 out by the
transaction.
Mr.. SCHNEIDER, his son in-lsw, who had
gone out to take possession ofthe land, gave
his version Of the affair, He regarded the
transaction as a swinfle and had been told
it was. He said he Wef out with the county
surveyor and asked hing % lay a certain line
for him. The surveyor said such aline
would 90 on the land Of man named
Rich. The witness rs thunderstruck at
this, as this land was psf of the tract Daft
ner thought he had Eosght. A little joke
on the court was perre&ated at this point.
The surveyor had said t2 the witness that he
could compromise with Rich for so cents an
acre, which the witness declined, saying ne
would 20 to law. "D6n't do that" said
WestfalI, the surveyor, 'for it You do you
will have to 90 to the United States Court
and no one gets justrce there" AT t5e
sally, there was q brc'.3 laugh, which gen
the court could not reRag joining.
Deputy Sheriff Narpie, OF Upshur county,
testified that there wa Z delay in collecting
taxes on this Morton . act, and thai while
d. D. 7. Farnsworth Always paid hS own
taxes promptly, be ptI these slowly,A2n
had told the witness Ca2e that he was du0f
Gus about paying out Ely money on this as
long as the title wa S1t held to be sound
The witness further saf that while Duffner
was in Buckhannon het to be always
in the hands of a meIsber Of the syndicate
having this land for stle, and the fact was
very generally comme4ed upon.
George NJ. Fleming a B~uckhannon at
torney, gave some i5.eresting testimony
He said that Farnsw6rth and others had
told him DuHner was &ere to buy land and
would want the opiniOl of a local attorney
on the title. They impressed on Fleming
the fact that they had got him this business
and wanted him, in making bis report, to
favor them. The witness also said that he
too had noticed that Dufner seemed to be
never out of the company OF n or an.
other member of the syndicate which had
the land for sale.
Several of these witnesses had intimated
that the doubt Of the title to this land wa
common talk, but the objections of Judge
Brannon prevented this from being given in
evidence. The plaintiff had not concluded
when the case adjourned.

THEN WHERE ARE We

A Very Pretty Scheme, Bellaire, But Ut
terly Impraeticable.
The following is a dispatch from Bellaire
to the Cincinnati Enquirer. 1t sounds well,
but it is only the sounding of brass. 1t reads
as follows:
There is a railroad scheme now being
talked Of among the capitalists of this city
which, il it ever takes tangible shape,
will result in linking the three river towns
in this county, viz: Martin Ferry, Bridge
mort and this city, and making them yir-
tually one city in interest. The project is
TO build a short line railroad along the river
front from this city to Martins
Ferry, a distance of only six miles,
Which is all built up except
one and onehalf miles. 1t is estimated
that the local passenger travel on this line
would almost pay the expense OF keeping
one train running on it, or if IT did not no
train need to run, for the object in building
the sLort-Iine is not for the purpose of max
ing money directly out of the railroad bust
ness. Ii is in the nature of a bait to intro
duce several roads that are now partially
built and are leading toward the Ohio river
10 come TO this city. The Cleveland and
L.orain formerly called the Tuscarawas
Valley) Railroad now comes into this
township, and within three-quarters
of a mile of the city limits, before it
reaches the river to transfer freight.
Then there is the Wheeling and Lake Erie
road, the Wheeling, Mount Vernon and Co.
shocton, and some years ago Mr.. Conger,
now a number of other gentlemen started
q road that was intended to reach the coal
fields of this section. Like all of the other
roads we have named, except the Cleveland
and I.orain, this one seeking a coal field
still exists on paper, but partly built. This
short line project is to furnish a free line for
| all these roads to reach Bellaire after they
have been built to the river. At this point
amicable arrangements can be made to
transfer across the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad bridge that saves twice handling
freight and greatdeal of time.
The project is feasible, and is being talked
in earnest by several p~ublic-spirited and
enterprising citizens, though it has not yet
got into any of the local papers, but when it
does there will be some tall talking for a
free short line railroad along the river
front. Should this project matrialze, and
there is every reason to believe that 1t will
it will do away with the idea Of another
| bridge over the Ohio river at a point OF five
or six miles above here, which will be salts
factory to river men, but will call forth the
vigorous opposition Of Wheeling people.
