NAILERs AND FEEpERs

A Convention to he Held Next Week at New
Castle Opposing Ideas on Pay.
PtasbgEgh DhpGeh,
AS a result Of last nights meeting Of
nail feeders atst, MslaChi's Hall, an ANAL
gamation Of nsilsis and feeders will likely
occur at the convention to be held by the
latter at New Castle next Friday, and in
all probability the strike which both have
been on for thirteen months will be re.
sumed, The last supposition arises from
an u~nWillingness on the part OF many en-
gagged in both branches Of the trade ia
accept the Cincinnati scale, preierrlng the
Mingo scale, which allows them l'cent
more when nalls are selling at 81 q keg,
These conclusions were reached alter q
long and earnest discussion was had on
every phase OF the protraCted strike. The
difference betWeen-the nailers and feeders
became Of secondary consideration when
the unsatisfactory compromise effected or
the Cincinnati scale was discussed, Thit
difference consists In the price per key tc
be paid the feeders by the nsilers, The
nailers, whose work Ia purely mechanical.
and requiring but little time to execute
want nine out Of the seventeen cents
given for the production Of every key o.
nails, The feeders, whose wages are
smaller, insist OIL receiving the greatest
division OF profits on each keg. The nail
era threaten to displaCs human with ma
chine feeders, II that olass OF workmeu

paid.
manufacturers to concGde the MIngo scale
or a strike will ensue, twenty-five out
OF the ninety.six machines in Chess, Cook
4 Co.'s mill, which started up yesterday
were manned. The nailers and feeders
will hold a conference Friday evening.

West Virginia at Tsylorstown, Just west
Of Washington, on the Hempaeld road,

down for gas, and II will be remembered
that when 1t was doWh~somewhat less
than 1000 feet a good flow of gas was
struck, The well was drilled deeper, and
It was predicted that it would develop
into a strong gasser, On Monday the
drill struck q Crusted sand rock, after
passing through a pebble vein, Work
had progressed but a short time till the
we'll began spraying oil, How much
longer boring was continued is not known,
the officials OF the company being very

was developed. =,
Operations were suspended and the well
shut down, No arrangements Tor tankage

the OtiCiRls' innocent air can be pene-
trated with half an eye, They have q big

Just how big a thing they really have
will be seen when 1t ia reflected that the
company has leased nearly the entire
township, and much land outside.

favor o ithe county, This suit had been
pending since 1859, and was brought to
recover money alleged to have been ls-
gsIly borrowed from the baAk in the
name Of the county in 1858.
In the case Of Douglass, the KanaWha
murderer, a new trial was awarded, The
court says:

guilty Of murder in the first degree,n
separating IS it does the word "blow'
from the character OF the instrument with
which it was inflicted and the intent with
which itlwaa given, is erroneous, aud for
such error the Judgment should be re-
