No Agreement Reached II the PittsburE
Conference.
As stated in the REGISTER yesterday no
agreement was reached at the conference
held at Pittsburg, between the Executive
Committee of Glass Manufacturers and the
represe natives Of the Glass Workers
Unions, and q resumption Of their DELHI.
erations will not be held for several days,
most likely not until the coming week. A
manufacturer yesterday made the following
statement regarding a nortion Of the pro.
ceedings:
"'The workers demanded an extrsordi.
Diary exception for which they bad 10 rea.
sonable argument. All Of our articles are
made at piece-work rates; but the workers
this morning demanded that shades and
globes be made on the turn system. Sup,
posing a worker can make seventy-two
shades during q turn, he gets . certain
price; but If he only makes sixty be must
receive the same price; even if ten or any
number of the shades are imperfect his
rate has not to be reduced. As soon as
the demand was made we absolutely re-
fused to grant il, and stated in plain terms
that if tie workers really meant to press
their demand all negotiations for . settle

OF Mrs. Louis +. Stifel.
The funeral of the late Mrs. NJ. Eliza,
wife Of Louis F. Stifel, took place from the
family residence on Sixteenth street at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and was
largely attended by relatives and friends.
The remains were enclosed in IN elegant

parlor. The floral tributes were exquisite
and almost hid the casket from view.
There were several special pieces composed
of lovely flowers and testified the high re-
gard in which the lady vas held by her

The services were very impressive
and touching, and were conducted
by Rev. VIM. Ulfert, Of st. Johns Ger
mau church, and Rev. E. H, Dornblaser,

in English. At the conclusion of the SER

goers are usually treated to. Miss Scott is
pretty and has a commanding stage pres.

talent. Her acting exhibits experience and
it is easily seen that she has worked her
way up the ladder by hard study.
She Is supported by a good all-around
company, Mr.. S. K. Coburn being espec-
tally notable. fair audience greeted her
last evening, and she held their attention
throughout. After the third net she was
called before the curtain. Miss Scott is

She is fitted admirable for the part, and no
doubt q packed house will greet her.

Contaminated.

In the Local Real Estate Market About
Consummated.
The negotiations which have been in
progress for some time between the repre-
sentstives of Mrs. Mary B. Altman, OF
Kansas City, the owner of what is known
as the old Grant House property, and a
representative of a local syndicate have
been settled upon a basis said to be salts,
factory to all parties concerned, and the
papers have been drawn and forwarded to
Kansas City for signature. The price paid
for the property is so far a secret, parties
in the transaction preferring that all de-
tails, and ever the names of those interest
ed, be suppressed pending the actual
signing of the papers by Mrs. Altman. 1t is
understood, however, that the purchasers of
the Sproperty contemplate extensive i'm
provements, which will very materially
enhance that portion of the city. The old
ruins have been an eye-sore Tor u long time,
and this semi-oficial announcement that a
change for the better is to take place will
be hailed by citizens generally with a good
deal Of satisfaction.
The property in question came into Mrs.
Allman's hands through the sale made on
the Sd day of last June by the order of
Court. The commissioners conducting it
were Messrs. w. p. Hubbard, A. ]. Clarke
and Alfred Caldwell. The lots are No. 40,
al the corner of Main and Tenth streets,
No. 100 at the corner of Market and Tenth,
and No. 1l9 on Market street, and the
price paid for the whole vas l5,305.

Now, the claim of the Amalgsmated As.
ISOLATION is that our scale is below theirs.
Compare the scale of the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION at Junction and Bellaire
and the one presented by the Amalga-
mated at the Riverside, and there are
greater differences between their own than
there is between the K. of L and the
Amalgamated scale at Hellai.e.
When the officers of the two organiza-
tions were in consultation at Ben God,
Tuesday and Wednesday, the situation
was discussed, and President Weihe decided
the Amalgamated Association right and
Master Workman Conkling maintained
that the K. Of l. was right.
No special steel mills in the country pay
the same prices all around, and it is Of
such slight difference when the sun totals
are added up that there is no use for dis
pute. More than the difference claimed
by the Amalgamated Association is paid
over and above last years prices TO the
blacksmiths and helpers, and other day
men around the works.
With this statement We will cease for
the present; if more is required it shall be
given. X. OF L.

he Talks Abou His Canton Purchase-He
win Not Leave Wheeling.
The REGISTER yesterday contained the
information that Mr.. Anton Reymann had
purchased a pleasure resort near Canton,
Ohio, known as Meyers Lake" for the
sun OF $55, 1000. Mr.. Reymann returned
home yesterday and a REGISTER reporter
called upon him to ascertain some facts
concerning the purchase, as it led to the
circulation of the report yesterday that
the gentleman intended to leave Wheeling.
When Mr.. Reymann was questioned on this
point, he said:
Leave Wheeling to go to Canton? Why
| never thought of such q thug. l have
SIX or seveo hundred thousand dollars in
vested here, and the fact OF my purchase
of Meyers Lake has no more significance
than if | had invested a hundred dollars
or so somewhere else. | have
lived in Wheeling thirty five years;
| have raised a family here and shall
always consider it my home unless / am
run ont OF the town, az some people think
aud even intimate | should be. But you
may be sure | intend remaining right here
in West Virginia until Wheeling doesn't
want me any longer, then / will have a
place to go to-"
Mr.. Reymann, in the above remarks, re-
ferred to the prohibitionists
What sort Of property is Meyers Lske?'
well it is a beautiful place The lake,
which covers about 40 acres, is Oblong in
Shape. My purchase comprises the entire
property, except a strip off one end, which
did not belong to the estate. On this por-
ton of the property a hotel is located and
there is also one OF my portion. Taking
in water and all my purchase in
cludes about lS5 acres, of which some
thing over 100 acres is water, and the finest
water you ever saw. The lake Is now fro
zen over, and / estimate there are ut least
100, 900 tons Of ice of the purest kind on it.
When the Union bridge is built and the
Wheeling & Harrisburg road finished, you
an get from here to Harrisburg in
about two hours snd a halt, and that will
be a great place to bring ice from when 1t
Is scarce here"
What are your intentions concerning
the property? 2"
"Oh, 1 will do nothing with it yet, as
the gentleman who has the hotel has a
lease which runs four more years, and he
will continue to occupy it. A little steam
or runs from one hotel TO the other, and
that is also under my control. You can
lust say that / do not intend to leave
Wheeling, and the purchase is no indica-
ton of such intention"

BUSINESS

Transacted by the Council Committed on
Claims, Last Evening.
The Council Committee on Claims met at
the City Hall, last evening, and transacted
a considerable amount of important bust
ness.
After some bills for Court expenses, etc,
had been approved, City Solicitor Cald-
well who presided over the deliberations
of the Committee in his capacity Of Coun-
Gilman, stated that the damage case Of
Hrzekiah Herndon v. the City had come
MP before Justice Gillsspy and had been
heard to q jury, which had returned a YER
dict of 500. The original claim was for
$500. The Wheeling Electrical Company
had refused either to defend the suit in the
name of the city, or to join with the city
in making a defense, but as soon as the
Judgment had been given the Electrical
Company settled it, IS well as all
casts, ETC., growing out of the litigation.
The report was deemed satisfactory by the
committee.
Mr.. Caldwell also reported the result of
the appeal case of Henry Neuhardt V. The
CITY, growing out. of the enforcement
upon Mr.. Neuhardt of the live stock or
dinance adopted by Council October 26,
1886. He stated the finding of the Police
Court has been reversed by the Circuit
Court, upon the ground that the penalty
prescribed-S20 to 500 fine and i'm
prisonment for not less than ten days
nor more than one year-was
unreasonable, and stated his advice was
that the case be not carried up to a higher
Court. He had prepared a new draft of an
ordinance in which the penalties were, in
his opinion, reasonable, which ordinance
he read to the committee. The new ordi-
II is identical with the original, save
in the matter OF punishment for its viola
ton. Mr.. Caldwell makes this a line OF
not less than 81 or IN re than $40, with
Imprisonment in the usual way in case the
fine and cost assessed be not paid.
After some little discussion the commit
tee recommended the ordinance to Council
for adoption, but it will not go into effect
for thirty days after such adoption, unless
the provision for a reasonable delay In
serted by Mr. Caldwell be stricken out.
The matter of the litigation Threatened
BY Mr.. Ferguson, whose little Daughter
lost her life by falling through an opening
in the railing of the Seventeenth street
bridge. recently, was taken up and con-
sidered by the committee at considerable
length. 1t was stated that the attorneys
for Mr. Ferguson were willing to seetle the
matter for 81, 500 and alter some discussion,
the Solicitor was instructed to offer 1900,
and in the event of that sum being refused
to allow the cause to 20 to trial.
