Nothing new trsnspired in nail circles
esttrday, and the Riverside, Belmont, Top
nd LaBelle factories were running as
.sual. The former factory had eleven
machines in operation, and two feed
srs from Chicago signed yesterday
20 go to work to-day which will make thir
cen machines in operation. A feeder said
yesterday that the manufacturers could not
set feeders to take machines as fast az they
santed them or expected when they made

Tie nail rs feel confident Of gaining their
ends and are taking things easy aud do
rot seem to be worried over the result.
The Bellaire Independent OF last evening
aJs:
The Riverside Nail Works received an
order for 400 kegs OF nails, aud after trying
70 negotiate with several, perhaps all, o
TIE nail works 10 Wheeling, was unable to
ill it. Some 10 odd kegs were obtained a.
he Top Mill and a few from some other
mills, but the order for the 100 kegs could
not be filled. From this it must not be un.
ierstood that there are not 400 kegs Of
nsils in Wheeling. There are many more
han that, but there is not an assortment OF
uails in all the Ohio Valley pat togethe-,
aud the ordinary orders of every day bust
,ess, light as they are yet from each dealer,
cannot be filed and are not. 1t forty
kegs are ordered fifteen or twenty are sent.
II is apparent from this that if prices stifen
Nv September the nail works will be put 10
operstion. The feeder experiment is q
allure. All OF them would not 90 to
Sork and if they had less than one third Of
he machines would have been operated;
out the differences between nailers aud
feeders are now settled, and union feeder
sill not handle ma hines until the scale lie
signed. This virtually ends the strike, and
only a stiffeniug of the price of nails is nov
necessary 10 start the works. That NAV

Defendants Side of the BenwOod Trouble.
To The Editor Of Hs Register.
SIR The conspiracy cases preferred
against six OF our citizens will be tried TO-
day at Moundsville before Squire William
Edwards. Great interest is manifested By
our citizens in the cases, all wondering how
hose men can possibly be arraigned under
The act of the Legislature known as the
Red Men Act, for there certainly was no
conspiracy. The simple facts are that one

underworld to protect his son, when the d..
PENDANT struck MIN with the cane aud his
fist also. Now these are simply the unvar-
nished facts as they occurred, and why q
mountain is to be created out Of so small g
mole hill we are unable to understand. The
party who com United the assault was arrested
and fined before the Mayor FIVE dollars and
costs in each case; and all that can possibly
be made out OF the case will be to fine him
tor the assault. We take no part between
the uailers and feeders in their controversy
and if We have had any feeling at all in the
matter the feed rs have the benefit OF it.
But, like nearly all classes of our citizens.
we depreca'e the idea of arrestiug and or

bave always conducted themselves as law
abiding citizens and whose only offeuse
