PITTSBURG NAIL MEN
Refuse to Pay the Nailers More Than the
Seventeen Cent Scale.

Refuse to Pay the Nailers More Than the
Seventeen Cent Scale.
A very unexpected change is about TO
take place with the nail manufacturers aud
mailcrs of PittSburg. The lockout be
tween them which lasted thirteen months,
ended in a compromise of eighteen cents
on 81. p card. During the strike the
manufacturers seventeen cent scale, which
they made ut Cincinnati, was accepted by
some of the men in the Wheeling district,
and their factories were started. The
Pittsburg naileTs refused to work on the
seventeen cent card and did not start until
a compromise was reached, which was for
eighteen cents Considerable dissatisfaction
resulted on both sides, but it did not assume
expression. The manufacturers started up,
hut when they found that the market could
be supplied with nails made for less than
they were paying, and having to contend
with cutting of prices, they refused orders
and one by one shut down their nail iacto-
ries. The men employed i'll factories ut
points down the river have resumed 1T the
seventeen-cent rate, and an effort will be
made to have the men accept the same
terms in Pittsburg. rs the manufacturers
claim the conditions of trade will not per-
nit them to run and pay the cighteen-cent
scale.
The Mingo nailers have granted the de
mandS OF the feeders and are running full
time.
1t is understood that an effort is being
made by Findlay, o., citizens to have the
cooperative nail works at Steubcnvillc re-
move to that place. If the company yet

Notes Taken From the Washington Re

Nolth th'
porter of Last Evening.
The Union Oil Company's No. , on the
William Davis farm got the Dyer sand yes
tcrday morning, and last evening started
flowing at the rate of 80 barrels per hour.
This well is located south of the MOnOn-
gahela pike and not far from the famous
DR.. Stewart well. Tankagc has been
erected and pipe line connections made.
The McGahey well is still closely guard
ed, and nobody has succeeded in crossing
the danger line. The scouts went out
last night with the hope of asccrtaining
the capacity OF the well, but were not
allowed to enter the sacred precincts
of the derrick. One bit was run
last night and one this morning. Addi-
tional tankage has been erected, a pump
station located on the lease and pipe line
connections made. The owners are said to
hayean option on fifty acres of the VIM.

tapped.
The McGowan. south OF town, continues
! TO ply us Il mystery and there are parties
who claim they know, that say the drill
has not yet reached the Gordon sand,
| though the general impression is that that
horizon has been penetrated almost to the
bottom, without getting more than a slight
! showing of oil. Parties have been among
| the farmers cndeavOring to take options on
property in the vicinity of the well the
past few days.
The ConnOrs well at CanOnSburg was
shot yesterday with 100 quarts of nitroglyc-
crime. She cleaned herself, but bridged
over and will have to be cleaned out. The
force of the shot was so great that the der
rick was badly damaged by flying rock.
The well had been doing about fifteen bar
relS per day.
Barre 3 is in the 5O-foot with a small
show OF oil Hall 8 is in the mountain
sand
Union 3 on the Taylor lease ran into the
second pay streak this morning, increasing
the production from II to about 100 bar
rcls per hour.
At the we'll on the T. NJ. Hall lot the
drill is still at work in the Gordon hOri-
ION. She shows no improvement.
The Forrest well lost the bit yesterday
evening, but fished it out this morning,
and resumed drilling. There has been no
improvement.
The collapsed casing in the Judge Hart
was all taken out on last Friday and new
casing put in Drilling was resumed this
morning The well is 1000 feet deep.

Two Great Contests Expected To-day and
Tomorrow.
The best base ball games of the season
are expected to take place on the FAIR
Grounds this and tomorrow afternoons,
when the Wheeling club will contest with
the celebrated Maple Leafs, of Guelph,
Canada. As these are the two best OppOr-
tunities that have been offered the Wheel
ing public this season, they should be
taken advantagcof The Maple Leafs have
almost an unbrokcn record of victories this
year, having defeated the strongest Cana
dian, New England, New York, Michigan
and Illinois team, and have the remarkable
record of havingwOn twenty-threegam in
succession, the twenty-third being with
the removed Philadelphia team, whom they
done up by score of 6 to =. While the local
team hardly anticipates deieatingthe visit
Ors, it will make a prodigiOus effort to take
them into camp. Whatever money is made
after expenses are paid will be divided
among the members of the Wheeling team.
1t is to be hoped the people will give them
q rOusing testimonial, rs they have given
base ball lovers here many fine games this
season and are credit to the city. Game
will be called at 4:3O, sharp.

DIRECTORS ELECTED.
What is Going On at the Moundsvillc
Camp Grounds.

What is Going On at the MOundsVillc
Camp Grounds.
The election of Directors Of the Camp
Ground Association was held Tuesday and
the gentlemen elected are Us follows: c.
4. Robinson, Alfred Cams James Bodley,
Sr., Thomas Finn, L. Il. Dobbins. Thomas
Hammond, II. :. Jones and w. III. Travis.
1t is announced that Sam Jones has
been invited to attend the camp meeting
next year, and it is gratifying to know that
if Jones is not appreciated by some people
the association fully understands and Ell
dorSrS him. When such intelligent,
Christian gentlemen endorse any man, it
stands to reason that he deserves it.
The services yesterday morning were
conducted by Mrs. Robinson. The after
noon service was devoted to questioning
meeting. The questions were asked by the
congregation and answered by Mrs. Robin
son. Some of the queries and answers
were Of very interesting character. Mrs.
Robinson is very intelligent, Straighttor-
ward Christian lady, and is always listened
to with the closest attention. Perhaps If
she had appeared before instead of after
Sam Jones, she would have attracted more
notice Jones himself before leaving spoke
of her in the highest terms and commended
her to the people.
At night Rev. Spencer King preached
one of his usual thoughtful sermons?
This evening communion service will be
held and it is expected that there will be a
large attendance and more interest man
iicSted than at any service since the depar-
ture of Rev Jones.
The hotel still continues to retain n very
fair custom. 1t would seem that some
thing is of interest yet to strangers in the
neighbOrhOOd rs it is understood the Hen
rata House. in MOundsville, was crowded
yesterday. 1t may be the camp meeting,
or it may be the oil excitement is again
rising.
The attendance throughout the day at
the different services was about the same
as on Tuesday, and there seems to be no
prospect for falling off in numbers from
this on until the close of the meeting.
From some reason the dust this year has
not been so annoying rs in former seasons,
fact that is fully appreciated by every

SEPTEMBER SIXTH
THE DATE UPON WHICH THE WEST FIR-
= GINA COMPANY
Will Turn the Natural Gas Into the Pipes In
this Gity-HOw the Work Is
Progressing.

Next Monday week, September 9th, the
Natural Gas Company of West Virginia
expects to turn the gas into its pipes In
this city. The event should, and doubtless
will, be hailed with joy by every progress
i've, wide-awake and enterprising citizen
for with the advent of the new fuel Will De
ushered in a new era Of progress and pros
perity for our city, an increase in the out
put and variety of our manufactured pro-
ducts. enhanced commercial dealings with
the outside world, and substantial aug
mentation of our population and wealth.
In an interview with Chief Engineer
Davis, of the West Virginia Company, yes
terday, that gentleman said:
I'VE will have gas in our pipes IN TINS
city by September 9th. Probably the other
officers of the company would not be so
sanguine-they adhering to the 18th or
18th rs the date-but / know what am
talking about In fact, we could have the
gas here by the last dayIof August, were 1t
absolutely necessary. We have only little
over five miles of pipe to lay to form con
tinuous stretch from our wells to the head
of Twenty-ninth street, and with the large
and experienced force now under our con-
troll it is easy to lay mile of pipe per day
In setting the 9th of September As the day
| allow for all contingencies.
"There are now but two breaks Ill our
nine line from the wells. One Is at Elm
Grove. where a stretch of l2O or 40 rods Is
to be put down, across the two branches oil
the creek and over the Poor House farm.
The other is about five miles in length, and
extends from Bushfeld's mill, on the Ma
tional pike, in Liberty district, eastward
across the state line To little church OH
the Dutch Fork of Buffalo creek. A large
rang is working at the east end OF the
break. but trouble about proper supply
| of pipe is keeping the men back good
deal. The Elm Grove break i pretty
bad place. but | think it could be put
through in two days.
with these two gaps closed up, we
would have an uninterrupted line from the
wells to the head of Twenty-ninth street.
| Inside the city, we have seven or eight
| probably nine-miles of pipe down. Our
lines are complete the entire length OF the
city from the Top mill to Twenty-slXth
street, on Main and from Tenth to
Eighteenth on Chapline, with numerous
cross lines. The gap from Twenty-siXth
street to the head of Twenty-ninth street
will be closed in few days, and at the
same time our wOrkmen will run line
from Chaplne street out Fourteenth street
to the Central glass works. The ditch for
the line is now open. That large concern
will then be enabled to start up from the
moment gas is first turned on, rs the fur
naces have been previously piped and all
the preliminaries attended to. We have a
large force working inside the city limits,
and with the completion of our main line
we will be able to concentrate more OF our
force here TO put through our branch lines. !"

TWO ACCIDENTS.
ANAN KNOCKED FORTY FBBT OFF ABRIDGB
INTO THE MUD
And EscaDes With His Eis-A StsubenyiIle CIi-
ssn Loses His Life on the Q. 4 P.
Railroad.

Yesterday morning an accident occurred
in Bridgeport, the result of which was little
short of miraculous. As described by the
engineer of the down mail train due at
bridgeport at IL 10, the occurrence was as
G,llows: Just as the train pulled out from
the deDot a man was noticed on the track
in front and nearly to the iron bridge over
Wheeling creek. The engineer thought the
tresnaSser would leave the track before he
reached the bridge, and paid but little
attention Ia him till he had entered the
bridge, when he sounded an alarm on the
whistle. At the alarm sounding the man
evidently lost his head, for he made wliu
hmm for the braces on the outside OF the
Truck. These are very uncertain footing,
and the man lost his balance and fell to the
he'd of the creek below. The creek being
low he lighted on his feet in the soft mud
AT the edge, and sank into 1t up to his
knees and fell on his face. y hall dozen
men went down at once and picked hun

to the c. K p. passenger depot where Dr;

him.
Il was found that no bones were broken,
and no visible injury could he noticed
except bad Earring up Of the body ana
several bad bruises. In answer 10 III
yuires he said his name WAS Patrick Moore,
and that his home was Boston,
He afterwards changed his
place of residence to Baltimore, Pittsburg,
Chicago, and finally told an inqulsitive re-
porter TO 20 10 h in answer to ques-
ton concerning his home. He Is known
10 be a Bible agent, and was reported to
have been drunk at the time of the accl-
dent.
In the afternoon he was able to walk
across the room with the assistance OF two
men. but complained Of terrible pains IN
his hips and groins. The distance from
the bridge to the creek bed is over forty
feet, and had it not been for the soft mud
he would no doubt have been killed IN
Istantly.
