GlaSs-An Address ToLabOr Organ
izaion From the ". Gf.U.

PITTsBURG, PA, November 3O.-Glass-
workers say that the differences between
the window glass manufacturers in the
East, North and West is not understood,
although there is probability they may
lead to trouble. The Eastern and North
ern districts have slight advantage over
the Western in the matter of wages. The
entire Eastern and Norther districts are
working at 10 per cent less
wages than the Western. The manufac-
turers in the & latter district have
chafed under this for long time, and in
the recent convention of the window glass
workers submitted a communication nOti-
flying the workmen that next year uni
form scale of wages must be agreed on. At
present the Eastern ana Northern manu-
facturers are holding aloof from the syndi-
cate formed recently by the Westerners,
and talk about forming one themselves in
order to protect their market from glass
made from natural gas. The trouble is
one of annual occurrence, and and con-
test for supremacy of the market is posi-
BILE contingency.

"PLUNGER" HILL.
The Failure of n speculator Who Did the
Grand Act.

The Failure of n Speculator Who Did the
Grand Act.
CHICAGO, November 30.-The failure OF
Hill, one of the plunging operators on
Change is made the occasion of good
deal of newspaper comment One of the
afternoon papers speaking of the failure,
says: Erred A. Hill, the phenomenal
grain plunger, who used to stand in the
wheat pit and sell two millions of wheat
as nonchalantly as Ream or Cudahay or
Armour might have done, has disappeared
from view. For days and days
he has stood in the wheat pit and
sold all the wheat tnat any body wanted
to buy, 1t didn't make any difference
whether it was 100, 600 bushels or 500, 600,
or 100000. He filled the bulls up, solid
suhstantial bulls who had money to pay
Tor what they bought.
Yesterday wheat went uptwo cents q
bushel. Hill is supposed to have been
short about one million bushels. The
"calls" ON which he had relied heretofore
presumed that the $40, 900 or 80 which
he had was wiped out in the advance of yes
terday. Official notice was given from the
gallery before the opening this forenoon to
close out all his open trades Hill's fail
ure temporarily closes the most remarka-
bic career of this long season of depression.
He was everywhere suspected Of being
weak financially and Numbers OF
conservative operators refused to trade
with him at all, or limited their business
with him to small figures. Yet he adj
mittedly operated on larger scale than any
other person in the wheat pit, and for days
and days protected by puts and calls,
actually controlled the price of wheat for
this region by selling millions of wind to
all who desired TO buy. Hill has hit the
trade pretty hard, being probably $50, 900
behind, although everybody called
him saVagely. lie was a
product and probably the most
wonderful of all, of recent very dull times
in wheat. Here was an operator with q
capital probably of $4,000, who con-
sidered that he was doing nothing remark
able in selling 2, 900, 600 bushels Of wheat,
or in paying out regularly every night for
months something like 900 for puts and
calls. He sold wheat as if he owned the
stock here and bought calls rs if he were
millionaire. His method was simply
this: His calls protected him from the loss
of more than fraction Of a cent a bushel.
With his loss limited each night he played
for the winning of n fortune each day.
When puts and calls were abolished, day
before yesterday he lasted Just two days" !"
Is. Poole, another broker, failed to-
day. He says his liabilities will not ex-
ceed S., 900.

An Abbe Accused OF Corrupting His Pupil,
School Miss.

An Abbe Accused Of Corrupting HIS Pupil,
school Miss.
PARIS, November 30.-A piquant scam
dal involving the reputation OF the Able
Roussel and young boarding school miss,
Annette Harchoux, crops up again to-day,
and promises to result in a sdase oelebre.
A few days ago La France published SEN
sational story about Annette Harchoux, 4
young girl who had been placed in q board
ing school at Auteuil directed by Able
Roussel. That journal stated that Annette
had Leen seduced by the Able, who after
ward maintained her rs his mistress in q
cosey little apartment ut No. 8 Rue Simon
le-Franc for two years. The frisky Able
finally got tired of her, the more 80 as An
nette was not contented with the Able and
had lavished her favors with prodigal gen
erosity upon dozens of young Parisian stu
dents.
The Able gave her as parting gifts .
sum of money and a check for 1,OOOf.
Annette shortly afterward offered the
check in payment to her upholster, who,
before accepting it, asked the Able il il
was all right. The Able declared the
check to be a forgery. La Frdace having
published the above story, M. Paul de
Cassagnac, who, every once in o while,
assumes the role Of champion to the Paris.
ian ecclesiastic, wrote to the Able Roussel
and asked whether that "infamy" was
true or not. The Able wrote TO Paul de
Cassagnac declaring the whole matter to
be base fabrication, and enclosed letter
from Annette saying that all imputations
against the Abbe's chastity were false, and
that the signature of the Able was in fact
forgery.
Annette was then arrested and put into
prison at Saint-Lazare. To-day her father
appeared on the scene and writes letter,
published by La France, saying that his
daughter was really seduced by the Able
Roussel and WAS forced to write the letter
which the Able enclosed to Paul Cassag'
nee by the Abbe's lawyer under pressure
of severe threats and promises Moreover,
experts pronounce the Abbe's signature to
the check to be authentic. Annette now
mast solemnly affirms that she was seduced
by the Able and afterward kept by him as
his mistress. The celebrated Parsian ad'
vocate, Maltre Laguerre, has been retained
for Annette, and La France is confident
that perfect avalanche Of unimpeachable
testimony will soon. he forthcoming to
prove the Abbe's backslidings from chas'
tity.
The affair causes great sensation, as
the Able has been hitherto considered a
model of morally and uprightness, has en-
joyed the utmost confidence, and has for
years been in supreme charge Of a female
orphan asylum and boarding school con
tanning upward of a hundred young girls,
aged from ten to tweny, Of whom he was

CHICAGO NEEDS MONEY.
An Alderman's scheme to Add $1,000, 90
Annually to the City's Revenue.

An Aldsrman's scheme to Add $1,000, 900
Annually to the City's Revenue.
CHICAGO, November 30.-At last nights
session of tha City Council, Alderman
Colvin introduced an ordinance which, he
said, would add 81, 100000 year to the
eity's revenue. Every year 50, 900, 900 $4,-
OOO, 900 or 5,OOO,OOO, was added to the
value OF property, but the assessment kept
going down. In 1886 the assessment was
so. 900, 600 less than in 1885. A large
addition to the population was expected
from the admission of Jefferson, Lakeview
and other suburban towns, and
there must be additional police and fire
protection, sewers, etc. He did not desire
to impose a hardship on any particular
business. The city was growing rapidly,
and n larger revenue was needed, but no
more money was available now than ten
or fifteen years ago when the city had
2J0, 900 less people. At the next meeting
he intended to present resolution to the
Legislature to increase the amount by pro-
viding for the licensing of other industries
than those now licensed under the charter.
There was no reason why wholesale and
retail merchants, grOeers, dry goods men,
tObacconists, etc, should not be licensed.
He handed in an ordinance amending that
in relation to saloons, striking out $500
and making thelieense 81 900.
Alderman DiNOn-I am with You.
Alderman COlvin was willing to suspend
IL l., I'd frhara
must be better bridge facilities, more via
ducers, etc, and the only way to get them
was to have more revenue. He moved to
suspend the rules to pass. The motion
was lOst-yeas 20, nays Ia. Revere, a
SalOOnkeeper, voted for the affirmative,
Wheelan, Appleton, Muller, DOernOr aud
Eisfeldt, salOOnkeepers, and K. F. Sheri-
dan, brewery emplOye, voted against the
motion. The committee was instructed
to report next Monday
