Thu @. X. Excursion,

At eight o'clock last evening about
eighty members of Holiday and Wheeling
Posts, G. A. R of this city, embarked on
board the Bellaire and went down to the
Gl ass City, where they took part in the
Fair held by Spangler Post, of that city.
The Bellaire veterans sent up the G. A. K
drum corps as an escort to the Wheeling
soldiers, and before the boat started
in the return trip the martial
band parsded through some Of
the streets in the central por-
ton Of the city, making some very fine
music. The boat was to have taken on
Stephens Post at the LaBelle landing, and
eighteen of the South Side veterans paraded
there, but through a misunderstanding the
boat went on past and left them on the
bank. Not to be kept away, however,
some of the Stephens Post boys" walked
down to Benwood and then crossed over.
At BeIlaire the visitors were met by the
members of Spangler Post and the Cadets
and escorted to the rink, where the Fail
was in progress. There very delightful
evening was spent. During the proceed
inssn Jacob Kemple made pleasant little
address. The boat returned abopt one
o'clock this morning.
Many ladies accompanied the Wheeling
veterans on the trip.

The ala.,workers Convention.

The coming convention of American
Flint Glass Workers, which meets in Can
TOD, O., on July 8, is beginning to excite
good deal Of attention. There arc rumor'
that general advance will be demanded.
Since the termination Of the recent strik,
there has peen boom in flint glass that wa
seldom squaled. This is accounted for by
the fact that all the flint glass in stool
when the strike began WAS used, and tn
demand has been on the increase ever since
The trade is in such o condition now tina
the glass workers think the manufacturer
can stand ten per cent. advance.

The Amalgamated Scale.

The entire session of the Amalgamated
Association, yesterday morning, was taken
up with hearing the reports OF the Vice
Presidents. Thomas NARROW was the first
TO make his report, which consisted prin-
cipally of review Of that part of the
organization under his jurisdiction during
the past year. 1t was received and &C
ceptd by the convention without any
questioning. Vice President Davis was
reading his report when the convention
adjourned. The scale has now ceased
to be an interesting topic in the con-
vention because it is understood that
with very few changes the old
scale is the one the manufacturers will be
asked to sign. The secretary Of the Asso-
citation spent his time with the printer who
is compiling the scale. BY tonight the
convention will be practically over, and on
Thursday the Wage Committee will meet
the manufacturers 1t is predicted on all
sides that no settlement will be reached
and long lockout is looked for. Runner
has ii now that the manufacturers are will
ing to pay S. 80 per ton TO the puddlers on
account of their iaborious work, but they
want the fnishers reduced 80 that they
may be able to pay the boilers their old
prices. By some this is considered a plan
of the manufacturers to divide the Anal
gamnted Association, and reduce the high
priced men and Thus avoid general strike

A Suggestion.
To the Editor ofbe Register:

To The Editor Of the Register:
SIR:-The new electrical cars now in use
in our city, are certainly great improve
ment over the old bob-tailed mule car,
both as regards speed and comfort for the
passengers; but even they are not perfect,
as any one who travels on them on Sun
day, can testify. On that day at least
they need conductor, and need him
badly. To expect the Operator" when
the car is crowded, to see that everyone
puts in his nickle. and gets on and of the
car in safety, besides working the ma
chine, is too much to expect Of any one
man. Had one of the directors boarded
the car was on Sunday and had seen the
indignation and force wirh which the STOP
strap was pulled when the operator failed
to stop the car OF the right time or started
it too soon again, he would advocate con
ducter at the very next business meeting

WAGES OF LABORERS,

TRACTOR CHISHOLM.
Who Is Doing the Work on the New RssRvoir-1hs
Question Of an Increase in Compensation 70
Men Engaged in City Employ.

A great deal Of time was taken up In the
Second Branch of Council, last evening. in
an ATTEMPT to cut down the hours OF labor
of the men employed by Contractor CHS
holm, on the new water reservoir, from ten
to nine per diem. The matter was intro.
duced through q petition from the laborers
on the work, and large delegation OF the
interested parties was present to watch tne
progress of events. The communication
set forth that Council had, BY ordinance,
fixed the hours of labor upon city work o.
nine per day, the compensation therefor
being 81. so, while the contractor on the
reservoir was paying sixteen cents an hour,
and working his mea full ten hours.
At first the matter evoked little or no
discussion, being promptly referred to the
Water Board for report, but later MT. Jones
introduced a resolution requiring the
Water Board to notify Mr.. Chisholm that
the niue-hour system was in force IN
Wheeling. This reopened the whole mat
ter. and the discussion was long. The
original nine-hour ordinance was read,
when it was found the sity had no author
ity whatever in the matter. This did not
safety members, however, Mr.. Jones re-
marking that when Mr.. Chisholm came
here he said he would "break up the nine
hour system"
Mr.. Caldwell was called upon and eI-
planned the terms of the contract between
the Water Board and Mr.. Chisholm, and
finally the pending resolution was referred
to the Water Board, with power to act,
while the delegation of workmen retired In
no very enyiable frame of mind.

GOV WILLIAM d. HOARD.

The election in Wisconsin has
resulted in the selection of Hon.
William Dempster Hoard as
governor of the state by large
majority. His nomination sprung
up direct from the masses of the
people. The active working
politicians in the cities had very
little to do with it. He was
known to the farmers of the state
to be a true friend Of their inter
ests. He had done very much to
promote agriculture, and the
farmers wanted him for governor;
went to work to secure his nomin-
alton and succeeded.
Mr.. Hoard IS a man of fifty-tWo
years of age, a native of Madison
county, New York, and has won
his way to distinction by his own
efforts, unaided by money or
influential friends. He is "a man
Of great native talent, and is, in a
certain sense, a genius. He is an
able and forcible speaker, a clear
and pointed writer, a natural mu-
sician and a most excellent story
teller. In the latter respect he IS
the equal Of the great Lincoln.
He is a man of the strictest
integrity Of character, and every
impulse Of his nature beats
strongly for the best interests OF
the commonwealth in which he
resides. He is truly a man of the
people. His administration of the
affairs of state will be noted for
ability, economy and honesty.
William Dempster Hoard will
prove a first class governor
