BLOWERS IDENTIFIED
A Letter Stating Who Some Of the
Latest Foreign Glass Men Are.
THE NEWEST SURPRISE IN COKE,
H.C. Frick Buys the Property of the Schoon-
maker Coke Company.
A BUDGET OF LIVE INDUSTRIAL NEWS

Homer l.. McGaw, of the National Glass
Budget, who is prosecuting the Campbell
investigation, yesterd ay received letter
from a window glass blower about the crowd
OF foreign glass blowers who will arrive in
this country on Saturday or Sunday.
Mr.. McGaw refused to give the name of
his correspondent upon the ground that the
officials of L. A. 300 might cause him
trouble. In the letter it was stated that the
16O men who are coming over are not men
who had been in this country before, and
had gone back to their homes to spend the
summer. The correspondent states that
MANY of them, he knows, are being brought
here to work, but whether they are under
contract or not is another matter, This part
of it will be investigated by Mr.. McGaw.
Anumber of names of the men coming
are furnished. One lot is being brought
over by the Mayer Brothers, of Fostoria, o.
They came over themselves last year, and
upon arriving in this city applied to the
officials of l.. A. 800 for admission into the
Window Glass Workers Association. They
were refused a working card and then went
to Fostoria. They applied to the precep-
tory tnere ana were duluiLtcu w VIC iSduA-
zation this summer. They then went back
to Belgium, and are now returning with
several brothers and one brother-in-law.
The crowd have tickets to Fostoria and will
be admitted to the preceptory there.
They also have pot maker who is going
to Salina, o. His name is Emile Quinnet,
and he has already secured a job in the fac
tory there. With the crowd is blower
named Louis Toussaint, who is interested in
the Maumberg Glass Company at Fostoria.
He is bringing over his brother and one
brother-in-law, and has jobs promised for
them.
The 160 men are divided into two parties.
Some OF them are here now, but the larger
crowd will probably arrive in New York or
Boston on Saturday afternoon or Sunday
morning.
President Campbell. of the Window
Glass Workers Union, was asked last even
ing whether he knew that Belgian glass
workers were running ovens, and what he
had to say about Mr.. McGaw's statement:
Thine is too precious" he replied, 'for
me to waste it by refuting any Of Mr.. Nc
Gaw's statements. All I know is that q
large number of men, Frenchman and Bel
gians, have been at home during the sum-
mer and they are now returning"

GREEN MEN DETERMINED.
They Finally Decide TO Keep Their Glass
Factories Idle.

The following telegram was received last
night from Philadelphia:
A meeting of the Eastern Association Of
Green Glass Manufacturers. including repre-
sentatives of nearly all the green glass factories
in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and
other States in the Eastern district, was held
in this city yesterday. the result of which was
the rejection of the demands of the men for
the coming blast, and an agreement to stand
together until the men come to terms. The
meeting then adjourned for three months,
A manufacturer said: 1.-THE blast ought to
begin next week, but owing to the trouble the
men will remain idle. When they work they
average from s. to IS day for ten months in
the year, and this will be lost to them"
lis it likely then that the men and factories
will remain idle Tor three months:'
"Yes, fully that unless the men yield on
more points than one and throw over Cohey,
their Master Workman, with whom we will not
treat. In all probability, however, the contest
will be as stubborn, for a time at least as that
of two years ago The manufacturers are in a
better position to resist the demands of the
men now, than they were then. There is an
abundant stock on hand and the Western
manufacturers will fill orders for US.
1t is estimated, that there are L.600 green glass
blowers in the Eastern district, and that 4. 900
or 5000 other men and boys are dependent
upon them for work. The demands of the
workmen include increase of WAGES, new
classification OF work and the control of the
employment of hands.

A SAD DISCOVERY.
Telcgrapher Stewards Brother Found Him
Dead on the Tracks,.

Teiegrapher stewards brother round Him
Dead on the Tracks.
The funeral of Telegrapher Bert Stewart,
who was killed It Edgewood on Tuesday,
will take place at 1890 this morning from
Stonerville. The obsequies will be attended
by many of the railroad operators and en-
ployes. Stewart has been for some time
boarding at the house OF DR.. Riggs, Edge.
wood. He had been a widower three years.
His first wife was the daughter of Braden
Hearst, of Stonerville, she dying of con-
sumption, and Stewart married her when
she was on her deathbed. She only sur
vived the ceremony a short time.
Stewart was engaged to Miss Laura Hill,
daughter of r. N. Hill, of Edgewood, and
would have married her in two weeks.
Oa Tuesday Stewart walked down to the
Union depot with c. c. S. Baldridge, of w.
A. Heron & Sons. Mr.. Baldridge was in
no particular hurry, but Stewart was much
excited lest he should lose the train, which
he expected would bring him nearer to his
betrothed. The first marriage of Stewart
with its sad ending would have been sufi-
cient to throw gloom over his life. The
melancholy accident of Tuesday last makes
that life itself tragedy.
Not the least remarkable among the
strange events connected with the affair is
that the brakeman on the train which
caused the death was SteEart's own brother,
and it was this man who first found the
corpse.

Adiutant-General d. 81. Hastings was in
the city yesterday. Among other things,
he said:
"The only thing that can say is, that l
am very sorry that reflections should be
made against the Governor. know that he
is strictly conscientious and as straight as a

came from all over the country, but the
terms of distribution were limited. The
majority of tine instructions were to dis

alleviate the suffering of men, women and
children. His Excellencv was not instructed
to distribute the funds placed in his care
for the clearing up of the town or rebuild
ing it, but simply to alleviate suffering, and
think he has done his whole duty.

THAT is a good ways ahead. 1 am
watching the situation, and if good op-
portunity stafes me in the face and ind
it might be within the compass of human
possibilities that could be nominated, the
chances are that I would accept"
General Hastings thought Boyer's cleo
tion was only a matter of majority. Being
asked about E. A. Bigler's candidacy, he
said: "My friend Cyrus Gordon says Big
Ter don't care for the nomination, but will
accept Clearfeld county Democrats, as a
rule, seldom refuse to accept anything
offered to them, no matter what the odds are
against them" 5-.
General Hastings came to Pittsburg with
the purpose OF adjusting the claims against
the State on account of relief work in Johns
town by Thos. G. Carlin & Co., William
Anshutz and Contractor Mcknight. Car
Inns bill of 81, 700 was cut down to half that
amount; Anshutz's bill for S2,450 was re-
duced to 81 600.
As has been stated by THE DISPATCH.
Mr.. VIM. Finn avowed his responsibility
for the claims of Anshultz and Carlin, the
question at issue being the States responsi.
bility for the accounts. The whole matter
was brought up yesterday FOR settlement.
After lengthy conference it was decided
to leave the whole matter to arbitration.
The contractors will choose a man, tine State
another, aud the two will choose third.
General Hastings went to Beaver yester-
dav to consult with Senator Quay in regard
to Federal appointments in Central Penn
sylvania.

POSSIBLE HOMICIDE.

Man Found on His Porch With n Wound
in His Head-He is Supposed TO Have
Fallen Down n Hntchway.
Frank Smith, a glassblower, is laying at
his home in critical condition, suffering
with an injured head. Mr.. Smith lives on
Gazzam's Hill. Early on Sunday morning
his wife found him on the porch of his
house, unconscious and bleeding from a
wound in the side of his head. DIR. Nc
Kibben, of Soho, was sent FOR, and dressed
the injury. There was bad confusion but
the skull was not fractured.
Smith was unconscious until Monday
morning, and then only regained partial
use of his faculties. Last night DR.. Nc
Kibben said he was in dangerous con-
dition, but would probably recover if con-
gestion OF the brain did not ensue.
1t was thought at first that the injury was
accidental and that Smith had fallen down
the hatchway Of building in the neighbor-
hood. Yesterday a report was current that
he had been hurt by some men with whom
he had been drinking. The case has been
placed in the hands of Lieutenant Nc
Roberts who is investigating it.

IN THE BLACK SAND DISTRICT.

"For the 13 years included between 1875
and 1889 the black sand districts of Bradford
in Mexican county and the Allegany district
in New York State produced in the aggre-
gate 166, 1850 barrels of oil. In June,
1882, these districts produced an average
OF $4,000 barrels per day, whereas in De-
cember, 1888, they only produced 20,6S0
barrels per day, and the oil pools of all the
black sand district are being rapidly ex-
hausted. Unless the new white sand pools
of the Southwest district of Pennsylvania
can be depended upon for increased future
production. the prominence of the Pennsyl-
vania oil pools in the production of the
world will not play as important factor as
in the past"

BARRIERS VIII Talk Up Union Cigars While
Shaving Customers.
The union cigar makers of this city are
making great efforts to revive the interest
once taken in union cigars and tobies. They
are sending out notices to all labor organi-
cations asking them to cooperate with them
in driving out of the market non-union
goods. They have sent communi-
cation to the BARRIERS Protective
and Beneficial Association. asking them to
lend their assistance to the cause, and buy
no cigars that have not been stamped with
union seal. They pledge themselves not to
get shaved in any but union shops.
The BARRIERS have answered them, saying
they will urge the smoking of cigars made
by union me-. only. Whether their plan is
to vary theiai usual talk about the weather,
while shaving customers, and ring in an
occasi ,nal suggestion about blue seal
tobiee is not yet known.
