The National Convention ofthe Amer
lean Flint Glass Workers was resumed
at Canton yesterday morning. After
reading the minutes the delegates ad-
jOurned to give the various committees
time to complete their reports, which
must all be completed and presented to
the convention for final action.
While tile delegates are very reticent,
it is known that the Pittsburgh schedule
will be ratified, with no changes. The
Grievance Committees report will be
very short and contain nothing Of an
unusual nature.
The convention yesterday afternoon
added two weeks to the annual vacation
and summer shutdown, which will
hereafter be for, two months. No de-
mand for an increase OF wages will be
made, the workers being satisfied with
the present rates. The report OF the
Schedule Committee. will be ratified
without debate.
The Assessment Committee reported
that in future assessments will not be
rated SO much per member, but that
pro rata basis ON wages earned will be
established. The proposition to admit
glass packers into the union was voted
down. This was great disappointment
to the Wheeling packers.
The convention will transact its mos
important business to-day, including
election OF officers and all work done b!
the committees, the convention as a bod!
merely ratlfying and adopting the re
ports submitted by the committee.
1t is limited that a resolution fayoring
q protectivetariH will be introducediuth
convention, but some opposition was ex
pressed to this, and 1t is not known wha
will be done in the matter.

Mr.. Scott "a "rypIcal southerner."

Nttg York creating sun.
The Hon. N. b. Scott, the West yir-
ginia member Of the committee, is a
typical Southerner. The cut Of his jib
gave him away. He is constructed on a
solid foundation, has modest manner,
an agreeable voice, and face covered
with prosperous hair. He didn't wish
to say much, because he is new man
on the committee.
1--WE think West Virginia will go Re-
publican" said Mr.. Scott. "Our people
are very intelligent. They know what
their interests are. They are in line
with the Republican party on the tariff
issue. Why shouldn't they be? We
have 10000 miles Of coal, some Of its
veins eleven feet in thickness, and we
have iron and salt beside. We can't see
why We shouldn't carry our State on the
issue presented. We must have protec-
ton for our great industries, and think
we shall have it, Our people UNDER
stand what their interests are and don't
think they will go the free trade issue Of
the Democratic party"

Articles of association have been sign

burg & State Line Railway Company,
with capital stock Of 100000.
Prominent business men OF Pittsburgh
and Canonsburg are interested in the
project. As soon us all the preliminary
work is completed the road will be put
under contract. Asa suburban road out
OF Pittsburgh, as well as into the coal,
oil and gas territory OF Washington
county, it can have no equal. Promi.
nept railroad men predict that the road
will pay. The line in Pennsylvania will
be about forty miles in length, and it is
proposed to connect with the Wheeling,

organized, connecting ut Wheeling with

entire distance is sixty-fve miles.

Hc Tells OF a Sensible New York Firm.
The Committee.
Hon. N. B. Scott returned yesterday
from New York, where he attended the
meeting Of the Republican National
Committee. He says the Committees
meeting was highly satisfactory, the re-
suits pleasing, and everything presages
Republican victory in the National con-
test in November.
While in New York Mr.. Scott visited
the establishment OF L. Feuchtwanger
& Co., OF l0l Fulton street. a firm Of
dealers in chemicals with which Mr..
Scott, as President OF the Central Glass
Works, has business relations. This
firm consists OF five members, all OF
whom have heretofore been well known
Democrats. This year every one OF the
five is for Harrison and Protection.
They handle chemicals used'by manu-.
factlrers, and realize that the election Of
Cleveland would seriously affect, i il
did not rain, their business. The
members Of the firm are well known
here and in this vicinity, and their
change of political affiliations will doubt
less have its local effect.

STILL IN THE LEAD.
Butthe Margin Is Yesterdays Gamei
mud RnlI Notes.

md lthll Notes,
Wheeling's base ball team is still in
the lead in the race for the Tri-State
League championship, but it is very
small lead and is liable TO be Lost entire
ly to-day. Wheeling won yesterday in
the game with Kalamazoo, and Lima
won from Zanesvillea ut GAINESVILLE. Lima
by winning reduced Wheeling's lead TO
.025l OF one point. This every one will
agree is not much OF lead, and to-day
is likely to see it wiped out,
Yesterdays game with Kalamazoo was
witnessed by over $50 people, including
n number OF ladies'. There were no
special features about the game and no
enthusiasm except when Stapleton
knocked out his home run to
left field. Morrison's home run hit
was no more u home run than
cobble stone is diamond. II
was knocked over the ferOs, but struck
inside the home run line. Sheppard,
who was umpiring in Simmons place,
was about the only one on the grounds
who considered the ball over the home
run line. Simmons eyes were paining
him so that lie could not see well.
The game was easily won by Wheel
ing, however, without this so.called
home run. Kalamazoo played a poor
fielding game and was not strong at the
bat. Wheeling played superbIy in the
field and did fairly well at the bat. This
difference explains how the game was
won. Morrison pitched one OF the best
games he has yet done this season The
Kalamazoos can play better than they
did yesterday, and better game may be
looked for to-day.

THE NATURAL GAS PROTEST.
A Largely Attended Meeting of tho Citizen
Committee last Night.

Committee last Night.
There was largely attended meeting
of the committee having in charge the
matter of a protest by the citizens
against the increase in prices that the
Natural Gas Company of West Virginia
has made in number OF cases, held last
evening at the office of the Ohio Valley
Manufacturer, in the Reilly building.
It will be remembered that when this
matter was being vigorously agitated
about one month ago, the ordinance re-
ported to a meeting OF citizens by COM
mittee appointed Mt previous meeting
to report such an ordinance, was recom-
men1ed to Council for adoption and the
matter OF urging its passage, together
with the ordinance, was referred to q
committee consisting OF one from each
ward. This committee was empowered
to call to its mid two other citizens from
each ward. The provisions OF the ordi.
nance referred to were published at the
time the committee that drafted it re-
ported.
Since then there has been nothing
further made public. The committee tc
which the ordinance was referred has
not been idle, however. 1t called to IT.
aid leading citizens from every ward
and the liyeliest interest was taken il
the move BY every member. Severa
meetings OF this large committee have
been held and plans laid for working the
ordinance through. Last nights meet
ing is understood to haye been the las
one the committee will hold. The ordi
nance will be presented to Council at it
next meeting, and it is believed that i
will pass. K subcommittee consisting
