Especial Correspondence.l

There is nothing of Importance from
the glass workers convention. The
election of officers, whose names will be
made public, will be among the last
things done. Not to be Outdone by the
citizens, the local labor unions are go
ing to honor the delegates by having a
labor demonstration on Friday even
ing. A committee of arrangements
was appointed by these unions to ar
range the matter, and it consists OF the
following gentlemen: Mr.. p. Smith,
from the Iron MOulders' Union; Mr..
VIM. Hayes, from the Hollow Ware
Glass Workers Union; Mr.. Ben Perry,
from the Amalgamated Iron and Steel
Workers Union, and Mr.. Chas. Schram,
from the Cigar Makers Union. The
societies have invited the Knights of
Labor in this city to take part, and the
latter will most probably accept, There
will be a parade of the societies and
delegates about town, headed by the
band, after which they will assemble in
front of the Hotel Conrad, and will be
addressed by the following speakers
| Hon. John Mcbride, president of the
| Ohio Miners Association; John Coffee,
Master Workman of the eastern dis
trict of the hollow ware glass workers
and Rev. Dresbach, the young minister
whose speech at the Lake on Monday
elected much favorable comment.
These three speakers will certaily pIo-
vide a rich treat for the listeners. The
speaking will be interspersed with mu-
sic by the band.
Mr.. Philip Sonnhalter, who has been
drilling for coal on the Vending farm,
lust outside of the southwestern city
limits, has struck a good vein of coal
and proposes to sink a shaft and open
a mine at once. The new coal field is
located near the old stone quarry of
Suter & Everhard, which has been
abandoned. 1t has been known to some
for a long time that the land just above
the stone quarry, known as the McCul-
| Tough farm, is underlaid with coal, but
it was thought not to DE of sufficient
thickness to make the mining OF 1t
profitable. Mr.. Everhard in drilling a
well on that farm the other day, struck
the black diamond, and blew the well
out with dynamite. Negotiations have
been pending with a coal company to
open it up, but it seems the men have
come to no understanding. When
asked about the coal being found so
neal the stone quarry, an experienced
coal operator said that was always the
case; that unless sandstone was near, it
would be useless to look for coal.
