NATURAL GAS FUEL
FOR THE LOCAL GLASS FAcToRIHs
Another Meeting Of the Manufacturers Ct
the Four Towns At BsIlAirs Yesterday.
Prospects that a Contract wiz be
Battered latO at All Rarly Day,

It Is thought that the proposition to
furnish the Slsss.houses here and at Bel
laire with natural gas will be accepted. A
meeting was held at the Office Of the Cob
let Works, OF Bellsire, yesterday, supple
mentary TO that held in Wheeling the day
before. This tins all the glass manuiac.
turers, including the window glass COM
panies, were represented, 1t is proposed
to have the natural gas in Bellaire and
here by the first Of September next, and
to supply it to all manufactures on the
same terms as it Is now furnished 10 the
manufactures OF Pittsburgh. The som-
pany making this proposition to the fac
tories is backed by capital sufficient 70
carry ont any contract they make, and the
idea Is f4vorably received by all the mani
uiaetnrers, 1t will perhaps take q million
dollars or moEs to ilITnish natural gas to
the factories in this vicinity, but that Is
nothing to the manufacturers II they can
secure this kind OF fuel on the same terms
rs Pittsburgh, as Ia now proposed, and all
ot the manufacturers are IN favor oil the
project. No contracts have been signed
as yet, but there Is no doubt that the
work Of furnishing gas to this vicinity, will
be commenced within the next fsW days,
aud the glass factories OF the Ohio Valley
placed on an equal footing with those In
the gas belt,
