Glassblowers' League.

The business meeting of the Green
Glassblowers' League, which was held
last week in Brooklyn was very inter
esting to members of the trade. 1t was
agreed to continue the same basis as
last year-6O cents for ounce bottles
and 10 per cent. off; also to allow two
apprentices to furnace. The question
as to whether the league should con-
solidate with the American Flint Glass
Workers Union was favorably dis
cussed, but no action wataken.
President F. S. Tomlin, who has
served the league as its chief for ten
years, in his report estimated that the
average wages OF the blowers were
$110 per month for the ten months they
worked. AS Mr.. Tomlin will become
manager of a factory in Brooklyn, he
was not a candidate for reelection. A
new departure was taken in providing
for salary for the President of 81 200
year. He must devote his whole
time to the organization.
The great demand for beer bottles
and the prospective big fruit crop
which will cause active sales of jars
will keep up the prices of bottles of all
kinds.

Peach Crop.

L
Eight million baskets are expected
from Delaware and Maryland this sea-
son. 1t will be the largest crop ever
gathered. Last season the same terri
tory fun nished only 100000 baskets,
and the whole crop including that of
New Jersey and the Hudson valley,
amounted to only 100000 baskets.
The first shipments of Maryland are
peaches now coming in. but the quan.
tity is limited. They are packed in
neat crates holding twelve dozen
peaches, and each peach is kept separ-
ate by pasteboard partitions. 1t will
be week before large shipments ar
rive, and the special peach trains will
not be put on until August l. The
quality this year is better than usual.
The fruit will be large, sound and of deli
cious flavor, and low prices will pre-
vail.
The great peach producing sections
were formerly in the northern part of
Delaware, and the shipping centres
were in the northern counties, but the
dustry has gradually moved south
ward and is now centred in the middle
and southern counties. The areas
devoted to the fruit in Maryland have
been largely increased, so that the
bulk of the crop now comes from the
lower part of what is called the peach
peninsula. Hundreds of acres of new
orchards come into bearing for the first
time this season, and help produce
the enormous crop. Changes have
Z also taken place in the disposition Of
the product Instead of sending al.
most the entire crop to New York, large
quantities are boughtup by the canning
establishments at the orchards for pres
serving and shipments are made to the
West, to Canada, and to cities like
Rochester, Newark and Paterson di-
rect The commission merchants in
New York claim that the business was
better, the competition more lively,
and the net returns to the growers
larger when this was the main distribu
ting point for the crop.
The reports from the New Jersey
crop are less favorable than from far
ther south. The late Spring frosts are
said to have injured the blossom. so
that only light yield is expected.
The fight for free peach baskets will
be revived again this summer. The
grocers. iobbers and others who re-
tail the fruit, demand that no charge
shall be made for the package, and
the shippers claim that they cannot
afford to give away the baskets when
such low prices for the fruit are OBJ
tanned.

terprises set on foot within the last
two or three weeks are of themselves
sufficient to create a metropolis, and
it only requires personal visit to this
wonderful country to fully satisfy one
of the great future that lies before
Washington Territory, and there is
abundant evidence that the iInmigra-
tion here has but just begun. The
movement Tacomaward is not only
from the Middle and Eastern States,
but from California Still, there are
thousands of people in the East to
whom the advantages of Washington
Territory are unknown, or who, at the
best, have very imperfect knowledge
of the thousands of Eastern people
who visit this territory. 1t is rare to
find one, who, after an impartial in
spection, is not impressed by its ad-
vantages. The new era that is dawn
ing for Washington Territory, by
which hundreds are to be added to its
area, will add millions to its substantial
wealth, and give profitable employ
ment to hundreds of people. This
section is peopled with the best class
from the eEast-industrious enterpris-
ing, intelligent, and refined; they have
brought with them their love for
schools, churches, and all the refine
ments of social life. The people in
Tacoma are settled; they are not ad-
venturers or spectators; as a rule,
they have come to stay, and find a
hearty welcome. Myself and family
are more than satisfied with our new
home, and appreciate this wonderful
climate more and more as we realize
it day by day.
Hoping that I may see many of my
friends here to view this wonderful
country, as one must actually see it to
fully realize it, / am,
Yours truly,

The bill of the Morning Star for ad-
vertising the Local Option notice, was
found to be nearly double what it
should have been, and was referred
back
After this action, there were plenty
of interesting developments. County
Solicitor Hoagland was present, and
his opinion on several matters that
have long caused argument among the
members, was asked
The first opinion desired was, whetb-
er or not the Directors and Aims
House Trustees were entitled to other
compensation than the $500 per day
allowed them by law. Mr.. Hoagland
said that the conclusion he had ar
rived at, after a careful consideration
of all laws he could find bearing upon
the subject, was that no member was
entitled to a compensation other than
his per diem as allowed by law.
The next opinion wanted was as to
whether or not the county was au-
thorized by law to pay the cost of an
affidavit attached to bill. He held
that they were not, and that it should
be an individual expense to the person
presenting the bill.
AS to the legality of a Freeholder
drawing his per diem without first
swearing to his bill, Mr.. Hoagand
said that the law made no distinction,
and if construed strictly, the Freehold
er must DO this. He said, however,
that there was chance for doubt up
on this point as to the meaning OF the
law.
The fact that Coroners had always
charged ten cents per mile, for every
mile travelled while in persuance of
his duties, led some of the members to
question the Solicitor upon the Legal
ity of this charge. Mr.. Hoagland held
that the charge was lawful one, and
that a Coroner could collect mileage
for every mile travelled in the perform
ance of his duties.
Owing to the death of William Ben
nett, the manager of the West Creek
Bridge, Mr.. Shaw nominated Stacy

Badly Hurt.

Thursday afternoon after the Cum
berland and Maurice River train had
left Fairton bound for this city, Bar
ton Sharp, baggage master, sat in a
chair in the express car, waiting for
the arrival of the train in this city.
When but short distance north of
Fairton large stone suddenly entered
the open door of the car, and striking
the elbow Of the right arm of Mr..
Sharp, glanced upward and struck the
ceiling of the car. The shock stunned
Mr.. Sharp, and so painful was the
bruse that he was unable TO continue
his work
The stone was evidently thrown by
some malicious person, with the in
tent.on of hurting some one, the dep
redator evidently caring but little as
to who was the victim. Had the
missile struck Mr. Sharp upon the head
it would undoubtedly have killed him.
Mr.. Sharp had not the presence of
mind after the stone had hit him to
have stopped the train, or he would
have made an effort to find out the
author and had him punished. No
bones were broken although the in
jured member is very sore and stiff.
Such rascals as the one who threw the
stone should be very severely punished.
John Booblitz, the mailer, has pur
chased lot on the McGear Brothers
tract of ground on Bank street, and
will build for himself handsome new
residence.

What is supposed to be new
species of rabbit has been found ON
the farm of Sam'l E. Warrick, at Five
Points They are as large again as
the common American rabbit and of
whitish color, with short tail and
long ears. One old one and nest con-
tanning six young ones have been
found. The nest was first seen by
Jonathan Murphy. Since the discov-
cry the place has been visited by num-
bers of people eager to see the young.
All declare them to be new kind of
stock. The young are much larger

10" is special police officer, and,
unlike the other officers, he is doing
duty night and day. In fact, if 10"

differs from the other officers inasmuch
that he will not 60 on a dark, lonely

No action has yet been taken by the
Central Railroad Company toward
resembling the order compelling the
stage men on the line of the Cumber-
land and Maurice River R. r. to pay
their fare for a trip to this city. Unless
this order is speedily revoked some
bady else can have the job of carting
passengers to and from the stations,
which are miles from the town. These
men have for years enjoyed this privi-
lege, and it is only from the fact of the
vast number of errands that they do
in this city, that they can make any
money. During the last week that
these men have heen paying their
fares they have been running be-
hind their expenses, and one of them
one day came out even and another
cleared five cents for his days work.

Nearly every young man who takes
an active personal interest in matters
political has already joined or intends
joining political club. The city and
country are already full OF such or
ganizations, and they are bound to
become still more numerous. Ordi-
narilv such clubs serve useful enough
purpose; but they are capable of much
more beneficial results, if with the
parades and fireworks which usually
constitute their chief functions, they
should mingle more serious business,
as has been proposed in Indiana, and
devote themselves to study and debate
OF the issues involved-not vehement
wrangles of the Congressional sort,
but intellectual contests addressed
purely to the reason.
The final meeting for organization
of the company to operate the old
Pemberton and Hightstown Railroad
will be held next Saturday, at New

and a Board sf Directors and officers
elected. The company to be organized
will be called the Union Transporta-
ton Company Limited AS soon as
the organization is effected the lease
will be executed and active prepara-
tions made for operation. Ic is the
intention to open the road for business
on Monday, July 80, with a train SER
vice similar to that in operation prior
to the abandonment.

Magnificent Samples.

A JOURNAL reporter yesterday
called on Mr.. d. ID. Prettyman who
will be remembered as having gone
back east with a car load of grain,
grasses, vegetables, fruits and Oregon
produce in general publicly exhibit
ing them in Minnesota, Iowa, Illi-
nois, Michigan, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, and
eventually leaving the car and its
exhibit with the Northern Pacific
railroad company, at st. Paul, This
was done at the expense of the state
board of immigration, and won them
and the state as we'll as Mr.. Pretty
man much praise. This gentleman
also sent a peck of wheat to the Cen
tennial exhibition in Philadelphia
and took the first prize against the
world, and he naturally feels very
proud of the medal and diploma.
THE collective exhibit of Oregon also
took the first prize there
OF late years Mr.. Prettyman has
made speciality Of collecting speci-
mems of grains and grasses for State
and Mechanics fairs and the Board
of immigration. He has just COM
pleted a magnificent collection of
wheat of Defiance and other varieties
oats, timothy, clover, rye, buckwheat
and millet. The clover is 1 feet high
and was taken from a patch sowed
among the oak grubs, a year ago, on
ground ploughed. The buckwheat
is feet inches, and the timothy
feet 9 inches with very long heads,
some of them nearly foot in length.
These all to so to the state board at
Portland, and will be forwarded
east to astonish the natives and
make them dissatisfied with their
lot until they come come to the Will
lamette Valley and see such things
actually growing.
