A GLASS Packer Makes 3 Statement.

In the REeIsTER's IepOrto of the proceed
ipgs of the Trades Assembly, Sunday, in
reference to the glass packers strike at the
Elson glass works, Local Union No. 9 was
mentioned, when it should have been LEGAL
Union No. Is Of Martins Ferry. The
statement was also made, on good author
ity, that the packers had not called on the
American Fiints to aid them in their strike.
In answer to this o glass packer sends in a
communication stating that "a committee
of glass packers called on Local Union No.
Is and asked them 10 take some action In
the matter, but, contrary to the spirit
which usually prevails In labor organiza'
tons, they refused to do So"
It is probable the matter viii be settled
smicsbly, without q general strike being
resorted to.

served in the dining room, the guests de-
parting at o Seasonable hour highly pleased

q Their Wager.

DR.. R. A. McCabe and Mr.. Frank Nc
Coy paid q novel wager last evening. In
event of Harrison's elcc lion they were to
sand on j. W. Grubb's corner, and DR..
McCabs was to bum red fire. and Mr. Nc
Coy yell for Harrison. Had Cleveland
bsen elected Mr.. J. w. Grubb would have
burned the red fire and Nj. Will Grnbb
would have yelled for Cleveland. The
best part of the affair is that the winners
thought the Republican jollifcation was
to come off last night and so they arranged
the time for the losers to do their set, but
the parade was non est and 50 the losers
paid their wager before a small audience.
DR.. McCsbs burned about five pounds Of
red fire all at once and Mr.. Mccoy gave
one loud wboop for Harrison, the crowd
yelled and the fun was over.

A Lively Fight,

There was q lively fight on the B. & O..
passenger train which left this city for the
West, at 11:2O Saturday night. The affair
occurred between this city and BenwCod,
snd narrowly escaped resulting in a muir
der. An intoxicated individual came into
one of the cars, and seeing a passenger
in a seat, struck him in tbs head,
knocking his head through the glass
of tbs window, and followed this up
with hslf.a.dCzsn other blows. The pas
seDger thus roughly assaulted drew a re-
volver, and was followed by four Others in
the vicinity also producing guns. A gen.
eral melee ensued, resulting in the dis
of one pistol and s panic among the
non-comhatants. Finally the conductor
and bsggage-msster succeeded in ejecting
the intoxicated man from the train, and
quiet was restored.

A Leading West YlrgInIan

the following:
"Moving swiftly about in the tumult Of
strangers who have come away from home
to get the ne s in New York is a tall,
brOwn.bearded and kesn-eyed man from
Parkersburg. He has been coming and
going for several days with q tact and ease
of manner and q subdued determination of
getting there, no matter what his immedi-
ate objective point, that Left no doubt in
the mild Of the student of men that here
was one accustomed to succeed. A West
Virginian who slid nobody would know
how his State went for a week, anyhow,
happ aned along in time to get a glimpse of
the tall, brown-bearded stranger, and said:
That is Col. ". P. Thompson, Secretary
of the Standard Oil Company. He's got q
smoke-house 50 full Of money he can't
close the door. He has plenty of friends
and Q good time in the world. But he
manages to keep bis name out of the

made entirely, o domestic man, attends to

What Does This Mean .

Mr.. N. j. Cunningham, who was en-
ployed as Waterman at the La Belle mill,
was discharged yesterday by Manager j..
R Robinson, and Mr.. Cunningham says
be feels confident that he lost his place on
account Of his politics, as the Manager had
no other reason for dischsrgiug him. He
has worked in the mill for six years and
never had any complaint sgainst him.
Previous to the time he went to the Is Belle
he had worked in the Belmont for e'even
years, and only made the change because
he was offered better wsges. BE feels very
much sggrieyel over his discharge, espe-
cially bicause he feels certain il WAS on &C
count of his politics. Mr.. Cunningham
has q splendid character and is known as
oompsteDt and reliable man, and if he has
bsen discharged by Manager Robinson be
cause he holds opposits political views, it
is q burning outrage.
Other Democrats have complained sbout
MansgSr's Robinson's action in having
pictures Of Cleveland and Thurman torn
down 10 the mill before the election, while
he allowed the place to be literally plss-
tered over with pictures Of Harrison, Nor
ton, Boss Atkinson and Idol Gof.

Confederate War Mans,

SO great was the demand for maps oc-
casioned by frequent changes in the situa-
ton OF the armies, that it became impos-
slble by the usual method of tracings to
supply them. 1 conceived the plan of
doing this work by photography, though
expert photographers pronounced it i'm
practicable, in fact impossible To me it
was an original idea, though / believe not
new one, but not in practical use.
Traced copies were prepared on common
tracing paper in very black India ink, and
from these sharp negatives by sun print
ing were obtained, and from these mega
tiyes copies were multiplied by exposure
TO the sun in frames made for the pur-
pose. The several sections, properly toned,
were pasted together in their order, and
formed the general map, or such portions
OF it as were desired; it being the policy.
as q matter of prudence against capture,
to furnish no one but the Commanding
general and corps commanders with the
entire map of given region.-Albert III.
Campbell in The Century.

The election season is time Of the
greatest excitement among the natives.
Each Of the principal districts has its rep
resentativcs in legislature; and when the
decisive day approaches the Kanakas come
tearing in to the polls from miles around,
with loose rein and jangling spurs ond
flower garlanded horses. Professions are
formed with impromtu brass bands, and
general commotion prevails Any ma
tive may vote who has a knowledge of
reading and writing or who has never
served term ii prison. The different
parties are rega1ed beforehand on gin or
on coffee and doughnuts, according to
their political platform; and victory is
celebrated By grand luau, with attend
ant ceremonies. They are warm hearted
and childlike people, and their character
fstics are an interesting study.-Bertha
