A Possibility That n Compromise May be
Reached.
Negotiations for o settlement of the
strike in the flint glass industry will be
commenced to-day. The American Flint
Glass Union Executive Committee has
formally notified the manufacturers Ex-
ecutive Committee of its willingness to
meet in conference, when the ACCESSIBILITY
of opening the scale and rule problems
will be discussed.
Yesterdays Pittsburg Commercial Gazette
said:
A well-informed glass man speaking yes
terday Of the immense cost of strikes, said:
This strike has only lasted since the mid
die Of December, yet already the Work
ers' Union has paid out $50, 600, and the
manufacturers have suffered in cancelled
contracts, payments of clerks, loss of glass
in pots twice this amount, and when the
furnaces in the East reset their pots and
line their furnaces the cost will be trebled.
The American Flint in their Ohio Valley
strike paid out $ls3, 600 in benefits"
President Smith, Of the Workers Union,
left, Monday, for the East, to settle some
difficulties there.
The price Of the class of flint glass made
by the men now on strike, is reported to
have advanced from 10 to 25 per cent.

SPLENDID ~THEATRICALs.
Miss Rosina Vokes and Her Comedy Com
pany at the Opera House.

Miss Rnsina VOkes and Her Comedy Com
pany at the Opera House.
The audience at the Opera House last
evening was a cultured one, and fairly
filled the house. The attraction was
worthy OF an audience larger than could
possibly squeeze into the Opera House by
the utmost effort, and if such isn't the
condition of things tonight it will he
something very strange. Last evenings
entertainment was Of Il character seldom
seen in Wheeling, and those present
tions more than realized. They saw CON-
edy that was art, such as cannot fail to
please the cultivated taste when comedy
that Is composed mainly of NOISE and
hustle begins TO grow very stale.
The first piece was a farce in one act,
(Which is Which," in which o young
artist, Robert Cspper," (Mr. Morton
Seldom fails deeply in love with the wrong
young lady to help him ont Of his tinan-
cial difficulties, but in the end discovers
she IS the right one. Besides Mr.. Selden,
Mr.. Felix Morris and Misses Ethel johnson
and Edith Clennell took the principal roles,
and all in a splendid manner my Mill
iner's Bill, a pretty little c~omedietta, for
two characters, Mr.. and Mrs. Merridew and
in it Miss Yokes aud Mr.. Courtensy Thorpe
made their first appearance. One could not
imagine that any two people could enter
tain an audience for three quarters of an
hour in such a charming manner
but these two did it to perfec-
ton, last evening. 1t is useless
to attempt to describe Miss Rosina Vokes
as she appears on the stage. She is bright
and full of life, and she had vast opportu-
nifty to display her remarkable versatility.
Her singing and dancing naturally sent
the audience into ~ecstacies of applause.
MIR. Thorpe is a comedian who can be
equalled by few, and he fairly shared the
honors with Miss Vokes.
The performance concluded with "a
Pantomime Rehearsal" in which the en-
tire company appeared Besides those
mentioned in the above pieces, Miss Isa-
bella Irving and Mr.. Ferdinand Gottschalk
appeared, and all sustained their roles in
a perfect manner The piece was full of
fun Of the most refined and ENJOYABLE
character. I'm Honor Bound" and 1.-THE
Circus Rider" will be given this evening,
In addition to the "Pantomime Rehearsal
and a crowded house should greet the
company.

"Contractor' Sets the Record Straight as
to the Trouble.
M0UNDsvILLE, w. Va, Feb. z, '88.
To he Editor Of the Register:
SIR:--Your Moundsville correspondent
seems to be considerably exercised over the
late controversy between the Superinten-
dent of the Penitentiary and contractors,
and, az he seems to either see only one side
of the matter or TO persistently misreprc-
sent the facts, il may be OF interest to some
of your readers to be told the truth
The quarrel last spring over the COptr-
nation OF Superintendent Peck had the
effect of demoralizing both guards and
c~ouvicts to such an extent that the dlscl-
pline 81 the institution hecama unreasOn-
ably bad. The abolishing OF severe pun
ishment for offences against the rules made
il very difficult for the new officers to over
come this state of affairs, and the convicts
have naturally become inefficient servants.
The policy of the present Superlnten-
dent in frequently changing the shop
guards, as many as seven or eight
guards having served in SOME OF the
shops during the past nine months, Is cal
culated to increase this disorder. The
rules of the institution require the guards
to familiarize themselves with the work IN
their respective shops, that they may be
able to Judge as TO what constitutes a fair,
reasonable and effective days work, and
that they may know whether a convict
works faithfully aud diligently" or 9th
erwise. Such intelligent supei vision on
the part of the State officer becomes i'm
-o,,,h1, ,,nIar fl,a SuotnnO nf frEnnpnt
changes now in vogue, and the contractors
suffer in consequence.
The present CONTROVERSY is based upon
a protest on the part Of the contractors
against the lack Of discipline and a de-
mand on their part for its enforcement.
No charge has ever been made against
Major Robertson on the ground OF his be
ing q Knight OF Labor. and no con-
tractor asks anything except a fulfil.
ment on the part Of the State OF
its contract obligations with them accord
ing to their true meaning aud intent The
charge that the contractors want the flesh
and blood of the unfortunate beings who
are so much abused as to be convicted OF
crimes against the cOmmOnWe Ihh, is base aud
malicious and the %outgrOwth of a maudlin
sentiment that would put 4 premium upon
crime and make a conviction and sentence
to the peniteutiary honorable.
At the Board meeting referred to, no
action was taken for the relief Of the con-
tractors, as far a. We are advised, the
Superintendent forestalling such by the
declaration that if the Board passes an
order to me in five minutes TO restore the
old guards to the shops, | will disregard
it, the only course left for the contractors
being to 90 to work and look TO the State
to reimburse them for the damages they
may suffer.
Please use as much or as little of this for
publication as You please, but give US the
benefit of q square deal before the public
and let us hsve done with this childish
~''babbliug" about something that your
correspondent knows very little about
CONTRACTOR.

A E~sstraight" Prohibitienist Asks Mr.. Dry
den How He Votes.
To he Editor Of The Register:
SIR:-Your paper has treated the Prohi-
~tionists fair, and l desire space to ask Rev.
M. +. Dryden a query. l have noted the
controversy between himself and Rev. Mr..
Ulfert, and have observed with pleasure
that Rev. Dryden is very enthusiastic in
his advocacy of prohibition. Now, l want
to ask Mr.. Dryden fairly and squarely what
ticket or what political party he supports.
| do this because Mr.. Dryden lives in
Wheeling, the controversy is conducted in
Wheeling, and liquor saloons exist in
Wheeling, and have existed ever since the
writer csn remember. Now, the saloons
exist in Wheeling by virtue of the wishes
of the officers elected by the people Of
Wheeling. These officers have been elect
ed by the Democratic and Republican
parties. If the Democrats were to elect
every officer in the city of Wheeling to-
morrow, the saloons would continue;
if the Republicans were to elect every Of
fcer in Wheeling tomorrow the saloons
would keep right on at the old stand just
the same. There might be a little higher
license fee to be paid with either party, or
a little this or a little that, but the saloons
would be there just the same. Every
thinking man mRst admit that. Now, /
want to know, does Mr.. Dryden vote for
either of these parties which continue the
saloon? If he dUes, is he not inconsistent,
and is not his preaching, praying and
talking for Temperance and prohibition of
little avail. Mr.. Ulfert acts perfectly con-
sistent with his belief. He believes in the
saloon, and he votes for the party or par
ties which keep 1t in existence. MIR. Dryden
opposes it. Does he oppose with one breath,
and with the next vote with q party which
keeps the business going? That is the
question. Will Mr.. Dryden be kind
enough 10 answer. No man should he
ashamed of his vote. This country Is full
of protested Prohibitionists, who work,
aud preach, and talk, and pray. end write
for Prohibition during the entire 364 days
of the year, but on the S65th day walk up
to the polls and vote up their old party
ti~cket-whisky, beer, Sunday selling and
all
am 80 we'll pleased with Mr.. Dryden's
position in favor OF Prohibition laws, that
| hope lie is not one OF the heaven praying,
but whiskey voting kind.

4 GOOD IDEA
To he Brought to the Attention oil the
Business Convention.

To BE Brought to the Attention OF the
Business Convention.
The attention of the convention OF bust
ness men, which is to assemble in this city
ON the 29th of the current month, will be
invited 10 a project which will very materi-
ally aid in furtheriug thepurpOse OF the gath
erirg-making knUwn the OF the
State, aud its desiIahlsness as a place where
the capitalist may invest bis means, or the
farmer, labOrer or artisan pursue ms trade
or ayOcatiOu to advantage. This plan EN-
braces a request to the Convention that
il appoint a representative citizen
of each county, preferably the President
of the County Court, to represent each
county in this State during the continu'
snce of the coming State Fair, and also
make l. request Of the authorities OF
the several counties that they set
aside a sum of money sufficient
to procure an adequate display OF the nat
ural resources OF tine counties in the shape
Of hard woods, coal, iron, hre-clay, OIL,
&c, and also u proper display Of the agri-
cultural products and manufactures,
the whole to be sent to Wheel
ing, and properly arrayed at the
State Fair under the superintendent Of
the commissioners from the several coun-
ties, IN an adequate building to be placed
at the disposal of the committee by the
State Fair Association. This would &C
complish several purposes, not the least OF
which would be the making of the display
on the Island grounds a State Fair IN fact
as well as in name. 1t will be also urged
upon the Chamber OF Commerce that after
the termination of the Fair, the dis
play, or such part Of 1t as may
be deemed the more necessary to
afford proper data to the wayfariDg man
seeking information, be given permanent
quarters, thus making 1t u sort Of perms-
nent exposition of the States
and industries.
This matter will be brought to the at
tention of the Board Of Directors OF the
State Fair Association, at 3 meeting to be
helu during the coming week, and If
il then receives sanction, rs 1t I'M
doubleday will, it will be brought to the
attention Of the convention, with a request
that something based upon the outlines
given be formally adopted.
Such a project would be beneficial to
the State in the highest degree, and should
receive proper attention and encourage
ment.

The Supposed Burglar.

From papers found upon the man ar
rested ON the Island Sunday night, after
the unsuccessful attempt on his part to
find the satchel containing the burglar
tools, it seems his real name is James
Clark. There is 8 yet no trace Of the
companion of the fellow, who made his
escape after being interviewed by one OF
the officers at u time when there was no
evidence to warrant his arrest, and he is
supposed to have fled in the direction OF
Pittsburgh, from which port the party
evidently set out. The photograph taken
of Brown, alias Clark, shows him with an
officer on each side, holding his wrists with
a pair of ~''nippers."
