A GLASS WORKER BEATEN.


Earle, in answer to W. K Elson's adver-
tisement in the REGIsTER, applied at the fac
tory for situation and obtained the same.
In the evening, after he had worked hall
day, he was met in Clark's addition BY vii.
ham Moffst, one Of the striking workmen OF
the above named factory, and asked Wheth,
er or not he had taken q job to keep and
whether or not he intended to stay. He in
formed Moffat that be intended to work in
the factory as long as he was allowed to by
the managers. whereupon Moffat struck him
in the eve with his fist and knocked him
down, and followed the same performance
with a rather severe kicking and general
beating. Earl yelled like good fellow and
when allowed 10 rise took to his heels and
struck out for Mr.. Elson's residence, where
he stayed until Officer Hanson arrived and
took him to the lower end Of
town, where he felt safe and
started on his way to Wheeling.
Earle is man who formerly worked in the
Elson as a union man. Alter the factory
shut down he got behind with his dues but
was not turned out but was given q card
and clear receipt for all dues he owed.
He then took a job in the Ohio Valley Bot
tie House at Bridgeport and the stories cir
culated concerning his applying to the
union for aid are repudiated by President
Irwin. He never expressed himself as In
want but once and at that time he was
given a card and allowed to go to work.
TIE managers of the work. intended topros-
ecute the case against Moffst but when they
could only make assault and battery out OF
it they dropped the case.
All bands seem to be confident Of an
early settlement Of the trouble in the glass
business. Two prominent members OF Lo-
cal Union No. Is and three men
closely connected with the manufacturers
side of the case, informed your reporter
that had there been meeting yesterday, as
WAS intended, the factories would have been
in shape to resume By now, as it was the
meeting was postponed till tomorrow, at
which time it is hoped, and sincerely too,
that the trouble will be settled. At the
Elson everything is ready to go on except
the men. W. K Elson, the manager,
made couple Of turns last week with the
assistance OF two boys.
At the Laughllu mill things are going on
old fashioned, with but lew changes TO note.
On Friday night during the severe storm,
the house OF Thomas Murphy was struck by
lightning. The house is located in Paulrs
addition and is q two story frame. The
lightning struck near one Of the chimneys
and tore of several yards Of plastering and
westherbosrding
On the came night near Mt. Pleasant Joel
Walkers barn and John W. Ong s stable
we're set on fire by lightning and burned to
the ground The buildings were uninsured
and they with their contents are a total
loss.
Frequent com plants are heard because
the Water Works trustees have not put q
force of men to work on the buildings and
excavations. 1t will be well to mind some
oftboee dissatisfied ones that there are many
more details to look after than any one not
acquainted with the nature Of the work will
suppose.
