the opposing forces will naturally gravitate
together in spisa of the had advice of hot

ing are as we'll of as il full agreement as
to wages had been reached, for Of what use
is an agreed scale if the nailers society re
fuses TO allow its members to 60 into our
mills and work under it? and this is just
the position the nailers com nittee took in
the conference. They were ready to agree
on scale, but positively declined to allow
any Of their members to 60 into our mills
and work under it. Nov, we re.
spectfully suggeat to those nailers
who own property in this city, and those
who desire to continue to live here, that
such position was not taken in thei- in.
terest, nor in the interest O. Wheeling, but
rather in the interest Of those mills that
have not employed feeders as hailers. Be-
CGuss our nail manufacturers have dered

Yesterday, AwfullY scarce--No Move Yet
From Either Side.
No new developments presented them
selves in the nail situation yesterday, and
things are lying in sort of dormant state,
likely to be disturbed at any time, although
it will undoubtedly continue quiet for
several days. The ieeder-railer question
il the cause of the deadlock, and as long
IS both sides stick to their determinations,
that long will the strike be unsettled. Both
the manufacturers and nsilers said yester-
dsy they we're determined to stand by their
positions, and the prospects of break Just
at this time "ain't very incouragln'." The
Steubenville Gazette of last evening says:
Nv. Fl. Wallace, of the Manufacturers
Conference Committee, returned home this
morning He says there is nothing further
to state than the information contained in
the official report ofthe conference publish
ed in todsy's paper. He says, however,
in 30 far ss he can see, the strike is no
nearer q settlement than it was before
the conference was opened, the stick
ing point being the feeder nsilers The
matter of wages was not discussed at the
conference, there being no need of fixing
another scale unless the nailers would
agree to 90 to work with the new men.
That the new men will stay In
is a fact by which the Association will
stand, and if the nsilers will not
work with the new men there is no need Of
discussing wages. There are 81 mills in
the Western district. which have 1892 ma
chimes; of these 1856 are in mills operated
under the manufacturers scale, which is
about two thirds of all the machines in the
West, while the mills that are running un-
der the compromise and nailsrs' scale con-
taius 692 machines. The Jefferson, he
SAYS, will take in feeder.nsilers if they pre-
sent themselves for JOBS, he claiming that
to operate the mill in this way is the only
immediate solution of the trouble"
At q meeting of nail feeders held at New
Castle, Pa, on February 20, the following
resolutions, passed at similar meeting
held at Niles, O., were endorsed;
WHEREAS, At O meeting of the Manufac-
turers or Western Nail Association they
ask for a conference of nailers to meet q
like committee of manufacturers, as we
believe, for the purpose OF compromise;
therefore be it
Resolved, That We, the nail feeders Of
the Falcon Iron and Nail Company, of
Niles, o do hereby resolve to stand firm
by the old 2lc card rate, regardless of all
action taken by either committee. Any
thing less would be nothing less than
"scabbiDg" by the nailers.
According 10 an Associated Press dis
patch received last evening the same reSo-
iutions have been endorsed by the Nail
Feeders Association OF Pittshurg at meet
ing held there yesterday afternoon.

WANTED TO Die.
A Martins Ferry Woman Takes
Arsenic
With Intent to Leave This Mundane Sphere,
But Her Life is Saved by
Physician.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Annie Reece,
a married woman, who lives on Fifth
street, Martins Ferry. in the basement of
Dory McCue's house, entered McSword's
drug store and called for arsenic. DR..
Hobenssck, who was in the store, eyed her
closely, and seeing that she was pretty ner.
vous and worked up, remarked to her that
people sometimes killed themselves with
arsenic. She did not like the remark he
had made and departed, to appear shortly
after in Darrah's drug store, about square
further up Hanover street. There Dr. Oar.
rsh asked her what she wanted with ar
senic, and received reply that she
INTENDED TO EILL RATS.
After giving her name and age, and
answering other questions, in compliance
with the law regulating the sale Of poisons
without prescription, she received the
amount asked for and departed When
she arrived at home she proceeded to
SumlulSleE uulO HeTsClt tue uEuR, anu u
woman employed az domestic noticing
the proceeding, stopped her and sent for
DR.. Ferre, who came at once, and with
careful and immediate treatment brought
her back to a reasonably healthy condi-
ton.
THE REASON
for the rash act could not be definitely
learned, but Mr.. E. D. Reece, her husband,
says he had inteAded TO 60 away from
home TO work in a mill and her wish to
keep him at home caused her desire to rid
herself Of earthly cares. 1t is also reported
that the woman was jealous Of her hus.
band, to whom she has been married about
two years, and that may be the cause for
HER FOOLISH ACT.
She is prepossessing little woman per.
hsps twenty.three years Of age and is not
very we'll known in town. Her husband
called on Dr. Darrah after the trouble was
over and made known his intention of
suing him, but was inclined to desist in his
abuse OF the Doctor when be learned that
the poison was cold according to law.

To The Board Of Public Works
AMUSEMENT FEUILLETON.
At THE OPERA HOUSE.

AT THh OPERA HOUSE.
A fair audience greeted Mr. j. b. Polk
at the Opera House last evening, in the
absurd farcical comedy, Mixed Pickles. ~
The story Of the play is quite amusing.
Joseph Pickle is a happy golucky young
fellow who has a brother, Arthur Pickle, o
minister Joseph has tondness for prac-
teal Jokes and he has good subject to
work on in the person of Hiram Brown, 40
old boy who IS inclined to be fast ard
seldom is sober In the SECOND act the Rev.
Pickle receives a bogustelegram from dear
friend requesting his immediate presence
at his bedside. he leavesaud his mischiev
Gus brother Joseph assumes his gsrb and
makeup and takes his place during his
absence. His terrible conduct during the
time is the talk of the town. He makes
love to the Esid, sT.snses eIOpements
with an old maid aud married woman.
Discovers that the girl he loves loves him,
drinks liquor, smokes cigars asd Gauges c
regular monkey and parrot time. When
the reverend brother returns he is beset on
all sides with protestations of love and the
hsrshest condemnation. He is utterly
COMPOUNDED at the charges made against
him, and almost driven to distraction when
he IS raiieYe4 By tie aoniessiol of
his brother duplicity and ell ends happily.
The piece sbounds with amusing situa.
tons and funny lines. The company is
admirably adapted to interpret the ideas of
the author aud the drollery is incesssnt
and the laughter almost continuous. In
fact the audience last evening had hardly
time for breathing spells between the
laughs. The Characterization Of Hiram
Brown, an old gentleman inclined to be
naughty by Mr.. Alex Vincent, was a de.
cided hit in every respect His eTerI
Increment, ape9ch and play OF features
was perfection. Mrs Sol Smith as Mrs.
Brown was excellent. while Miss Jennie
Christie ss Lucinda Sniggins, Miss
Nellie Sheldon as Susie, ;hs
pert maid, hiss Julia A.
Polk as Cherry Brown, Mr.. Milton Rain
ford as the mean Deacon Jordan, Mr.. ]. !
W. Parker as the Rev. Arthur Pickle, are
all equally warthY Of mention.
The piece will bsgiven at the matinee
and tonight, aud deserves crowded houses,
as it is one Of the best comedies ever seen
upon the Opera House stage.

The committee will probably make q
recommendation to Council, that the
Legislature be memorialized to amend the
city charter so that, in cases Of this sort,
the finding OF the court shall simply. be
guilty or mot guilty" and if guilty"
that the same fine shall be assessed as was
assessedin Police Court. Asst is nov, any
change in the amount of the fue throws
the city into the costs, which often Amount
