THE STATE FAIR.
THE RUSH OF LIVE STOCK OF ALL KINDS
UNPRECEDENTED.
Entries Refused 6rI Want Of Accommodations
Meeting Of the Directors to Be
Held To-Day.

The rush of live stock owners to enter
their horses, sheep, cattle and swine Tor the
State Fair is unprecedented, and the d.
rectors of the Association are at their wits
ends to devise means to accommodate the
multitude of animals coming from all
points of the compass. Secretary Hook
said last evening that there would be at
least one-third more stock in the grounds
next week than was exhibited at any pre-
yious Fair, and that every available stall
and pen was full to overlooking. The rush
is not confined to any one particular class
of animals, but extends through the whole
range from class horses to swine. Last
evenings mail brought another large batch
or entries, and unless some additional ac-
Communications can be devised upon the
spur of the moment, many entries Will
have to be refused for sheer lack oil
facilities to take care of them. This after
noon at three O'Clock the Board of Direc-
tors will meet on the grounds to discuss
the situation. 1t is probable they will
take immediate steps tOextend the grounds
so as to provide stalls and pens.
Yesterday three more speed entries were
received, one in the $3.50 class trOt and the
other two in the 2:34 class trOt. One OF
the last named entries is Linn n" the
property OF Linn Bros, of COrntield, U. 1t
is expected the first live stock will arrive
on the grounds to-day, and preparations
have been completed for the reception OF
the animals. Bedding and feed have been
provided and distributed, men assigned to
the stables and sheds, and the stables and
mems nut in first class order. Everybody
was hard at work about the grounds yes
terday, and great progress will be made
to-day and tomorrow III putting things IN
ship-shape order for the opening of Monday.
No exhibits have yet been placed in the
main exhibition building, but to-day and
tomorrow, it is expected, exhibitors Will
be at work on their space, and the interior
of the edifice will speedily put on an at
tractiye aspect. There is no doubt but
that the Fair, as a whole, will be far in adj
vance of last years very creditable show
ing, and ic fair weather is vOuchsated us,
the number of spectators will be fully III
keeping with the manifold attractions pre-
scented.
Mr.. Wood Martin, of Philadelphia, has
been secured by the managers Of the Far
as starter in all the horse races to be held
this year. Mr.. Martin is famous in this
capacity, and the boys will have to toe the
scratch when he pulls the bell rope.
As has been previously stated in the
REGISTER, Horticultural Hall will be
given up entirely to exhibits of machinery
and the space has already been mostly
taken up The dancing platform has been
neatly covered with a waterproof canopy,
and exhibition stands have been arranged,
upon which the articles may be displayed
to advantage The exhibits in this de-
partment, as we'll as all others, will be UNI
usually large this year.

THE prrrsBURe NAILERs
Hold Another Meeting and Determine to
Stand by Their Scale.


Stand by Their Scale.
The nailers had another and final meet
ING at siebert's Hall Pittsburg, Wednes-
day, to which all nailers, union and nom
union. were admitted. "The question OF
wages" says President Weihe, cannot De
considered at these meetings. There Is
only one scale and any departure from that
would again put the Nailers' Association
and the Amalgamated in the same position
as before the late convention. As yet
there has been no official notice of a depart
ure from the agreement at this office, and
until there is there can be no action taken
on our part A mailer says it was definite
" settled at this meeting to stand out LOT
their demands. Some of the most radical
speeches of the meeting were made by non
union nailers, indicating their loyal feei-
ings toward the union nailers. Like Pres
ident Weihe, one of them says that the
meeting was unanimous in saying there Is
but one thing to do, and that II to stand
by the scale.
Last evenings Chronicle Telegraph says:
Some statistics in regard to the difference
between the Amalgamated scale for mailing
and the scale now in use in the Wheeling
nail factories were furnished by mailer OF
this city this morning which may be found
interesting. The Wheeling scale is AZ per
cent lower than the Amalgamated scale
and the results in the operation of lOO nail
machines would be rs follows: The labor
on 100 machines per day in Wheeling
would cost $500, all things considered
The cost of the labor on the same num-
Der of machines in this city on the
Amalgamated scale would be S3l4.34, a
difference between the two scales OF only
S14.34 day on 100 machines. 1t will be
readily seen that such IN amount Is
small matter. The nailers here object to
being made the scapegoat of the heavier
wages paid the rollers and heaters over the
Wheeling men, and say that the manuiac-
turers would be just rs much JUSTIFIED IN
putting the anus of the lockout upon the
other classes of nailmaking labor, rs upon
them. The nailers are all united in their
determination to wait until the manuiac-
turers yield to the Amalgamated scale.

& good deal ofeXcitement was caused by
the ringing of the Capitol bell about half
past three o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Many people caught up their fire alarm
cards to see what box had been pulled, but
when the bell kept on ringing twenty-five
or thirty times, they rushed out into the
streets, thinking that probably the whole
town was alire, or that another earthquake
shock had caused the ringing. 1t was the
result of the wires becoming crossed IN
some manner, and the bell lang about one
hundred times.
