really only an ordinary affair, as but one
other mSnutaetory in this city has the ca

now opeI ated under the firm name OF A. j.
Beatty L Sons, the leading spirit in the en-
terprise being Mr. R. j. Beatty. During
The past eleven years under its present
management, the works have been greatly
enlarged and its capacity increased until
it now employs three hundred and twenty,
Eve hands. and turns cut $4,000 pieces OF
glassware every tWenty-four hours. Inc

with the murder being in an
'ther part OF the yard at the time the shot
vas fred, was driven out OF Mlngo few
ays afcerward By an indignant populsce,
