A Small Boys Strike.

At the Buckeye glass works over in Mar
tins Ferry everything would be in ship
shape and frat class condition were it not
for the strike of the small bows employed
about the factory. Improvement has been
the order at the Buckeye ever since Mr.. A.
D. Seamon became its President. That
gentleman seems 10 be specially adapted to
his position, AID no opportunity for in
creasing facilities and making things COM
Portable and presentable seems to escape
his notice. Just now quite an extensive
improvement is going on. The east wall
of the old factory proper has been torn ont
and new one is building about fifteen
feet farther ont, increasing the depth of
the factory Just that much. The Selbys
are doing the work.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT QUESTION.

Opinion Submitted by City Solicitor Cald-
well RsIGtlTe to the Matter.
Yesterday morning City Solicitor Cald-
well submitted an opinion to the Board Of
City Gas Trustees, regarding the establish
ment OF au electric light plant in connec.
ton with the gas works. 1t will be re-
msmbered that the erection OF such
plant has been under consideration by the
Board for some time, and that recent
meeting of Council the Board submitted a
Communication in which they stated that
the ACCESSIBILITY OF establishing ar electric
light plant had been investigated and con-
sidered, and they had found that plant
could be built at q cost of so, 900 that
would furnish 100 lights of 2, 600 candle
power each, which would he sufficient to
light the streets of the city. They
recommended that Council instruct the
Committee on Lights to meet In Joint
session with the Board, at which meeting
the matter could be further considered
The recommendation WAS adopted, snd
the meeting was held last Monday evening.
Several electric light experts were pres
ent at the time and the question was pretty
thoroughly but secretly discussed. One
result of the meeting was, it is understood,
that the City Solicitor was asked for an
opinion as to whether the city possessed
The power to establish such plant, which
opinion was submitted, as stated, by Mr.
Caldwell yesterday. A REGISTER reporter
asked at the gas ofias to be allowed to see
il but WA refused. 1t is learned, how
ever, that the opinion is brief and to the
point. 1t states that the city can do
nothing but what it was authorized to do
by the Legislature enactment authorizing
the Hold Gas Works Company; that when
any powers are conferred they must be
construed in 9 strict and not in liberal
manner; that the public funds cannot
bs appropriated to carry on a
business unless authorized by an
act of the Legislature; this is undoubtedly
a case where such authority must he Be-
cured, rs the law is very plain in the mat
ter; that of course an ordinance might be
drawn up authorizing the Board to con-
struct plant to light the streets, but it
would not he reasonable ordinance, un-
der existing authority; it is not supposed
that plant would be put in for this pur-
pose alone. but that it would also be used
to furnish light to private consumers.
This is the substance Of the opinion, and
il is probable that the Board and Commit
tee on Lights will meet in the near future
to take some action relative to the matter.

The Coming A. A. Meeting.

The Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph saya
The different lodges of the AmalgamatCd
Association are expecting to receive tbia
week from headquarters the su 'gestions on
the new wage scale. The officials of the
Association refuse to make any statements
regarding the scale for next year. A men,
Der of the Association to-day said that he
felt positive that they would not agree to
any reduction.
A manufacturer who was seen said: ut
is not question of whether there will be
reduction of wages. bat how much it
will amount to. think that there is not
doubt that the Amalgamated people
would agree to 10 per cent. reduction,
but the manufacturers will likely ask still
more, on account of the condition of the
iron market"

A COLD AUDIENCE.

A Little Joke About Mr.. Mahlon Chance
Told by Col. Kemple
Col. Kemple's lecture which takes place
shortly will no doubt sparkle with his
characteristic witticisms and mimicry. 1t
was only day before yesterday, when asked
why it was Mr. Mahlon Chance, Secretary
of the Tariff League, who is temporarily
in the city, Mr.. Cowden, Secretary of the
Republican State Executive Committee,
and himself, where in such close couver-
sation a. the Mcclure House, that he told
quite pleasant incident al Mr.. Chances
expense. 1t is worth quoting
TO put il as the Colonel tells il would
be quite impossible, hut II was somewhat
like this. Mr.. Chance and Col. Kemple
were stumping New York for Blaine in
's4, and while at White Plains, the Colo
mel got Of one of his German dialect
stories which convulsed the audience. AZ
ter the meeting was over Mahlon Chance
remarked to the Colonel that his (Chance's)
stories were all old and threadbare and had
apparently ost their power upon his hearers.
As the Colonel had very fine stock Of
fresh funny stories, he requested the loan
of the one that had so tickled the audience
that evening. The Colonel, with his &C.
customed generosity and urbanity cordially
assented to the request. The next stump
ing stand was Millerton. Col. Kemple
was first on the rostrum and as was his
wont had his listeners in o merry mood
Mr. Chances turn came next, and during
the course of his speech he inteIjected the
borrowed funny story from Col, Kemple's
repertoire Being void, however, of the
mimic power Of his conferee, the dialectic
features being about all there was in the
yarn, the story was told to the end amid
the gravest silence, everybody apparently
waiting to see where the laugh came in
OF course there was no laugh or sign of a
laugh, aud the upshOt was that the audi-
euCe and speaker wee mutually disguSte1.
Just as soon as Mr. Chance got the Colonel
alone he turned upon him in senli-savage
tone W tn thi 'interrogatory Colonel, how
long have you been in politicsY
Oh, | dunno. Several years perhaps.
But,why do you ask?
Well! I've been in politics more AN fif-
teen years and I'll be blapkedy blanked if
