The volume OF business done by the
manufacturers and jobbers OF window
glass, from January TO May !, showed
no falling off from the corresponding
months OF 1887. The trade is quieter ut
the present time than ut any season OF last
wear. But SO great was the activity dur
ing the winter months that the aggre-
gate for the season holds up fully to the
last. The passage OF the Mills tariff bill
will have the effect OF reducing wages
on skilled labor from thirty-five to forty
per cent.
The material that enters into the win
dow glass PRODUCTS now as low as i can
be laid down with any profit. There
have been no fancy prices for many q
day on the material, which is produced
by unskilled labor and machinery. The
large number of window glass manufaC-
tories which have sprung up in the last
two or three years in the newly develop
cd natural gas fields Of Ohio, has had
the effect of bringing sharp competition
and close margins. Window glass fac.
tories seem to be springing up at almost
every cross roads, and there is no longer
any margin left for reduction OF price,
il skilled labor continues to command
present prices. In advance OF each fro,
which covers a year there,ssis scale Of
prices agreed upon between capital and
skilled labor. This agreement advanced
wages five per cent in the middle OF

THE IRON SCALE.
Suggestions Received ut the Amnlgamated
AssoelntIon.

Suggestions Received ut tho Amnlgamhted
Association.
The arrangements have been com.
pleted for the thirteenth annual con-
vention of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron and Steel Workers, and it
will be the most important ever held by
the organization. The. convention will
open at Pittsburgh on the first Tuesdayin
june, and willlikely continue in session
for two weeks. There will bemore dele
gates present and more mills represent
ed than eyerbeiore, asthe association has
increased in strength more than during
any other year.
At present the scale is based on the
manufacturers card rate on bar iron ut
s. 50 for boiling on 2-cent card The
various lodges OF the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION have forwarded their sugges-
tions to headquarters for next years
scale, which will take effect on July /.
Great secrecy is maintained regarding
these suggestions, but it is understood
that no advance will be demanded and
any reductions made, II any,. will be
done in convention. No reductions,
however, are contemplated, although
the manufacturers insist, us usual, that
wages must come down.
The manufacturers have not met and
discussed the wage question yet, and
from conversations with number oil
them it is learned that they would not
draw up any proposition until the tariff
is settled by Congress. If the Mills bill
goes through there will be u big cut, and
II the tariff remains us it is, it is believed
they will offer reduction OF fifty cents
per ton on boiling and proportionate
cut in all other departments.

THIS Is AWFUL
jackson Walks Over Wheeling = Other
Games and General BaIl News.

Games ana General bnu news.
1t has been very truthfully remarked
concerning base ball, that runs do the
business. All the heavy hitting in the
world counts for naught if the tallies fail
to come across the plate. This was DEM
onstrated in yesterdays game at Island
park when jackson defeated the home
team by score OF to 9. Wheeling's
ten hits netted her total OF twenty
three bases, while the twelve hits that
Jackson made resulted in only twenty
one bases.
It was hard game to lose, and espec-
ially so after Thursdays game, when
Wheeling knocked Jackson galley west
and. crooked. The fates seemed to be
dead against the home team; the home
runs were at times when there were no
men on bases, and two Of the errors,
made by Stapleton and Delahanty in
the eighth inning, were made at time
when they hurt. Then Just as the ninth
inning was to be played, in which the
chances for ut least tieing the score
would have been excellent, heavy
thunder storm came up and drenched
the grounds and necessitated calling the
game. 1t is probable that coupled with
these unlucky features there was an
over-cOnfdence on the part OF the
Wheeling men, which, it must be i'd
mitted, alter Thursdays game was only
natural. The attendance was very small,
making the game losing one for the
home team in adouble sense. The peo-
pie after the game OF the day before,
evidently felt that it would scarcely be
worth their time to see the game; the
shower early in the afternoon also tend
ed to keep the attendance down.
The work OF the two pitchers was in
marked contrast. FitZsimmons, the new
pitcher signed by Jackson at GAINESVILLE,
was in the box for them, and notwith-
standing that he was hammered for four
home runs and gave three men their
bases on balls, he pitcheda good average
game. He struck out nine men, and
compared with Flannagan's work, his was
fur ahead. Flanagan appeared to be
listless and did not send the balls in
with his old time force and cunning.
He let two splendid opportunities go by
when he might have put men out. On
one OF these occasions he could have
assisted Yak, put out a man, retired the
side and saved run. On the other oc-
casion he might have put out n man
easy ut second, had he had any life in
him. Fitzsimmons had superb support
behind the bat from Morrison he caught
splendid game. Another feature Of the
game was brilliant stop OF red-hot
grounder made by Van Zant. The field
play OF both teams for the first four in
nings was as pretty as anyone could ask
for. The Wheeling boys made big
effort to have the ninth inning played out
in the rain, and thevisitors hung back and
kicked on it just as vigorously. Twice
Umpire Sullivan ordered the men on the
field and spoke sharply to the Jaxs in
hurrying them up, but each time the
rain increased in volume, and ut last il
was found to be impossible to proceed.
? The official score, furnished by Mr.,
English, is MS follows:

The MacCollin Opera Company last
evening presented "The Beggar Stu.
dent" at the Opera House to fair audi.
ence. The cast was the same as before,
except that Miss Mcintyre took the rol,
of BrOnisldrd, instead of Miss Hall, who
is confined to bed by illness. The pre-
sentation was in every way worthy Of
the enthusiastic approval with which it
was received. Miss Mcintyre was q
very satisfactory substitute for Miss Hall.
This afternoon at the matinee Gilbert
& Sullivan's "Iolanthe," which was SO
nicely given Thursday night, will be re.

given. The company is well fitted for
this popular piece, and the closing per-
Torrance Of the weeks engagement
ought to be notable one.

Before their departure Mr.. Mckinney,

great hopes their visit had been pro-

night previous, Captain Jones stated that

had been such that in order to produce
the amount OF oil allowed them they are
compelled to pump all, or nearly all Of

THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES
Delegates 70 the County Convention to he
Snlected tliIa Evening.

Delegates 20 the County Convention 20 he
Selected this Evening.
The Republicans Of Ohio County, in
accordance with the call OF the county
committee, will this afternoon and eve
ming hold their primary meetings in the
several magisterial districts, to select
delegates, Ave from each district, to a
convention TO be held at Up. m. on next
Monday in the court house, to choose
the delegates which shall represent the
county in the congressional district con-
vention ut Littieton, on May 10, and in
the State conventIona at Fairmont, on May
10. Atthese conventions willb selected
the delegates from the first district and
from the State at large to the National
Republican Convention Mt Chicago, June
10, to nominate q President and Vice
President.
The primaries in the city will con-
tinue from o'clock to o p. M, and in
the country districts from 9 to 5 p. m.
The voters in the several districts will
vote at the following places: Washing;
ton district, Vigilant Engine House;
Madison, Market House; Clay, Old
Court House; Union, Police Court
Room; Centre, Hook and Ladder House;
Webster, LaBelle Hall; Richie, Eighth
Ward Hose House; Richland, Brick
School House; Liberty, Centre School
House; Triadelphia, the regular voting
place in Triadelphia.
An important part OF tho work OF Mon
days convention, under the call OF the
County Committee, will be the selection
OF committeeman from the districts who
shall form a new County Committee. 1t
is thought that new committee coming
in now will have many advantages over
one chosen at the county nominating
convention, later in the season, Us is
ordinary. Blythe timethe campaign opens
the new committee will be familiar with
the situation, be thoroughly organized
and have things well in hand.
II is important that the committeeman
\ chosen shall be active and efficient men.
There may be a proposition in the con-
yention to enlarge the committee SO that
| it shall be composed Of fifteen members
instead of ten. As now constituted, the
committee has one member for each dis
trict, and in such districts as Washing
ton and Madison, where there are two
4
important voting places, the committee
man has pretty hard time Of it. There
has been talk OF giving two representa-
tiyes on the com..iittee to Washington,
Madison, Richie, Triadelphia and Lib
erty districts, and some members Of the
party even favor choosing one commit
teeman for each precinct. 1t is pretty
generally agreed that ut least Washing
ton and Madison should have two mem
bers.
While there is nothing in the call on
the subject OF choosing committeeman
at this evenings primaries, the choice
will be left in the Convention to the
districts, and there can be no objection
to choosing them this evening if desired.
The Republican voters OF the Eighth
ward met in the Alhambra rink last
evening. Capt. b. b. Dovener made an
eloquent and timely speech, which was
received with enthusiasm. Names were
then suggested for delegates to the
County Convention on Monday, to be
voted for at the primaries this evening.

wind sprang up, and ragged over an hour,
with Intervals OF calm. The gale was
almost cyclone. The middle section Of
the city crematory roof was lifted off,

was heard OF. Last evening about 8
o'clock, after light shower or two, the
heaviest rain OF the season came up, ac-
companied by vivid lightning and sharp
thunder, and for nearly an hourit rained
terrifcally. The rain was needed, and
will do good, though larger fall OF wa
ter would have done much more good.
The air was rendered fresh and pleasant
by the rain, and vegetation took on per-
ceptible new life.
