TO MAKE CUT GBASS ALSO.

A New Industry for the City Which Already
Produces All Other Kinds of Glass
Why the Projectors Hope.
The many and fourishing industries of
Pittsburg are to be increased by another-a
glass cutting establishment. A reporter
talked to one Of the statesmen few days
since at the Monongahela House, and that
gentleman said: "There is not a
branch of the glass trade that has
shown such boom within the last year or
so as the glass cutting trade. This busi-
ness, you must know, is comparatively new
in this country. Until q few years ago
there was only one firm in the East which
did any glass cutting. That firm had
monopoly until about two years ago, when
a number of cutting houses sprang into e1.
istence. and since then the trade has grown
rapidly"
william Smith, President of the Ameri-
can Flint Glass Union, said: "There is no
doubt that glass cutting is becoming quite
an American industry, and. from the work
done in that line by this country's cutters,
the Europeans will soon lose their old fame.
OF course there are still comparatively few
cutters in this country; but, within the
last year, they have quickly increased over
20 per cent. What is the reason? Why,
there is greater demand for cut glass now
than ever. People have come to admire the
beautiful works of art. as you might call
them, that now come into our market, and
articles in cut glass are bought instead of
silverware.
"Then, again, you must consider the
enormous price Of some of these fine pieces
of ware. and the very expense of them has
made them fashionable among the rich, and
on that account the demand has increased"
"Is there a single cut-glass factory in
Pittsburgh"
mo, not yet; but there will be very soon.
Some glassmen, and men whom 1 know to
be thorough business people, came to me a
few days ago and told me they were contem-
plating the establishment of glass cutting
house here. But, of course, as they enjoined
me not to mention anything furtherabout it,
l am not at liberty to disclose their names"

THREE HURT SERIOUSLY.
The Condition of Those Injured In Fridny's
West Penn Wreck.

The Condition of Those Injured In Fridny's
West Penn Wreck.
Inquiry was made at the Allegheny Gen.
eral Hospital last night regarding the
patients that were taken there through Fri
days accident on the West Penn Railroad,
near Freeport. 1t was learned that Mr.. and
Mrs. Graft were able to be removed to their
home. Mr.. Graf had so far recovered that
it is probable he will soon be at his business
again. Mrs. Graf, however, is not quite so
convalescent. but is out of danger
Ex-Mayor Lyon is progressing rapidly to-
ward recovery. 1t will be some time before
his fractured collar bone is well; and, 1T is
impossible" said the doctor, "to determine
when it will be wise to allow him to leave
the hospital. Jacob Dormer's condition is
the most serious of all. The greatest diff
Guilty we have is to prevent him contracting
pneumonia. His lungs are much infamed,
and it will take very little to develop, into
pneumonia" The physicians will not
venture to say that Mr.. Dormer will get
we'll.
General Rowley has considerably i'm
proved. He has had bad shaking up, and
it is wonderful that a man of 80 years,
weighing 24O, can be reported rapidly i'm

Captain Jones has been hurt very seriously.
and when DISPATCH reporter saw and
spoke with him last night, he appeared to
be suffering great agony. The left eye and
cheek are black, his side has been bruised,
and he is internally hurt. Mrs. Jones is
fast recovering.
Lewis n. McMullen, ESQ.,, of 80 fremont
street, Allegheny, who was in the wreck,
was much more seriously hurt than was
first reported. 1t was only thought that he
had some slight bruises about the head and
shoulders; but he was injured internally,

WILLIAM POWERS FUNERAL.

A Victim of West Penn Accident Buried Yes
terday-Accorded Military Honors by
His Comrades.
William Powers, the veteran who lost his
life in the recent West Penn disaster. was
laid to rest yesterday afternoon in the Alle-
gheny Cemetery, where numbers of his COM
rades in arms have their sepulcher. Five
hundred of the veteran and Grand Army
soldiers gathered at his home yesterday to
participate in the funeral exercises, and pay
their last tribute to one who fought shoulder
10 shoulder with them. Comrade Powers
had a splendid record. He was one of
the earlies to answer President Lin
coins first call, and remained until
victory came to the Union flag. He
Joined the One Hundred and Second Penn
sylvania Volunteers and shares all the hon
ors his regiment gained, and was wounded
at the battle of the Wilderness.
The services at the house took place at 2
P. NJ. The Rev. Sands preached from the
stairs, so that those within and without
could hear. He alluded to Gods provi-
dence saying: Providence is law which
we know, and one which is unforeseen.
How mysterious are Gods workings. Some
times we are disposed to believe that God
takes delight in throwing bereavment into
families, but this is not SO. Things which
are inscrutable and cannot be understood by
human beings, God knows. He does moth
ing by accident, and in this sorrow which
has come upon our friends, God has had
an infinite purpose to serve. 1t seems
strange when we look back and see
our departed friend in the midst of battle
and death comes through apparently un-
scathed, resume the peaceful vocations of
lite, and at last be flung into eternity
through an awful railroad wreck. 1t
teaches us that we ought to be on our guard
every moment of our life. Who knows
when the dread summons shall be sounded;
the mystery of the hour yet unborn Is full
of profound meaning"
The services was continued at the grave.
Captain McClenan, Chaplain of the Regi-
ment, read the burial service, and six of the
company lowered the coffin into the grave.
Gen. Pearson was present with the regi-
ment.

Lemonade Quinn Did a Rushing Business
Yestcrdny-Kaercher Was Sick, but
Had His Lemonade Ready.
OF the Sunday sellers Lemonade Quinn,
at the Casino stand, was the only one who
was running yesterday in full blast. Milk
shake Martins place was closed, and he
gave as a reason for not selling that his wife
was sick; likewise Ksercher, the Allegheny
man, was i'll himself, and no soda water
water passed over his counter.
'I know all the L. and o. spies," said
Lemonade" Quinn last night. II didn't
see any of them around, except at noon 1
saw man across the street, wearing blue
spectacIes. who was writing something
down in a book, and they told me he was a

Lemonade" had sign posted statingIyes-
terday would be his last day at the Casino
stand. and that he intended removing to the
Exposition grounds. Either the threat of
the Law and Oorder Society to arrest the
buyers had little effect, or most of the peo-
pie were ignorant of it, Tor Quinn's stand
was crowded with people all day long drink
ing lemonade and milk.
A. j. Kaercher regretted he could not be
open, because of the threat of Alderman
Carlisle to punish purchasers. He had sew
eral barrels of lemonade made, all of which
was a dead loss He didn't care to intrust
the business to a clerk, for the reason that
he didn't want anybody involved for him.

afford to pay his fine out of the days prof

quit selling.

ALL DUE TO A PILE OF STRAW.
What DR.. HeIber Says of Fever Patients
Sad Condition.

What DR.. Heiber Says of n Fever Patients
Sad Condition.
DR.. Heiber tells a reporter that at the
corner of Liberty and Thirtieth streets a
large amount of straw is scattered about,
and that whenever rain occurs the straw
is saturated and decomposition in the re-
suit This creates bad gas and poisons
the air, and the residents or pedestrians who
pass that way are very liable to contract a
malarial fever, if not typhoid.
The doctor went on to state that he was
called in to see q lady living in the neigh
borhood.' She looked, he said, the picture
of agony. Her tongue and mouth were
parched, her skin was unnatural, her tenn
perature stood at 112 and her pulse 125.
This, said the Doctor, twas wholly the
result of breathing the nauseous gas from
the decomposing pile of straw. Typhoid
fever is brought on, in a number of cases, by
inhaling this decomposed vegetable matter.
Where this hay and straw Is scattered, on
Liberty street, there is no possible drainage,
and bad pools of water lodge here and there
in the patch, which is very injurious to
health. Whenever a nuisance becomes dan
gerous it certainly ought to be suppressed,
and this straw patch on Liberty street is un-
doubtedly dangerous"

Tbnf's What a Cincinnati Paper Seems to
Think Of Pittsburg Travelling Man
Al. Carlisle the Man.
Speaking of Pittsburg's contribution to
Ohio's list of Democratic Governor-makers,
the Cincinnati Enquirer of Saturday had
the following interesting bit of gossip:
Zone of the most noted OF the opponents
OF Campbell is Al. Carlisle, a travelling
man from Pittsburg, but whose home is in
Columbiana county, o. He takes great
deal of interest in the Democratic
party of this State, and has more or less
work to do in every campaign. Under the
guise Of travelling man, he comes very
handy as an instrument of the Democratic
State Executive Committee.
He struck the town plat last evening,
and as he entered the Neil House from a
northern direction, grip in hand, be met A.
w. Thurman, who had just come up from
the South, armed with an umbrella. They
met by chance in the lobby, when, after
registering. the two took a walk, which
lasted for about 2 hours-or, at least, they
were absent about that length of time.
"Carlisle was at one time in charge of
the Wallace boom, but threw up the
sponge, and has of late been sailing in for
another fellow, that fellow being Larry
Neal.
"What Thurman and Carlisle walked and
talked about only the twinkling stars are
supposed to know. What they wrestled
with was most probably the course to pur-
sue in the Campbell Convention to be held
at Dayton.
To-day Lawrence T. Neal made his ap-
pearance at the Neil House. He did not
register, but in very short time took an
excursion up the elevator to the room of the
aforesaid Al. Carlisle. They communed for
quite q while. At what hour Neal left
town is not known. In the language of
well-known politician of this county, There's

PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS.

Subject, of Rev. william Robertson's Dis
course-Hs Differs From Henry George
There Should be Some Limit.
The Rev. William Robertson chose this
subject for his discourse at the Grand Army
Hall. Allegheny: "Private property in
land just and right, but limited"
All men have an equal right to the
natural land, irrespective of improvements,
tne reverend gentleman announced. 81 also
Deileve that any man has thf right to own
private property, and while have the high
est regard for Mr.. Henry George, do not
coincide with his views of considering every
private property holder robber. The sys-
tem OF private property was already intro
children of Israel.
However, think that the ownership of
private property should be limited, and for
several reasons. For instance, if the welfare
OF the country demands from man to VEN
ture his life on the battlefield, it is proof
tnat ne Is not absolute owner of his own
life and body. As the Government has
right to draft man in times of war. il
should also have the right to take possession
OF private property if circumstances de-
mand 1t. While such an emergency does
not seem probable at present there may
come a time when the increased population
Will demand it. And if no provision is
made in that direction America may yet
nnd herself in the same position as England
I Is to-day, where the entire country is owned
by few individuals.
Inc right Of private property should be
limited by the State as to the amount each
man is entitled to. Of course if he acquires
more oy purchase such a contract should
hold good during the purchasers lifetime
but at his death anything exceeding thai
amount should revert to the State"

4 BUILDING GIVES WAY.
Mr.. Eble's Drug Store Slipped From IL
Foundation, Yesterday.

Mr.. Eble's Drug Store slipped From its
Foundation, Yesterday.
The drug store of Charles Eble, Penn
avenue, East End. slipped from its founda-
tion early yesterday morning, and was dam
aged to the extent of $1,000 or Sc, 600. The
building, which was a two-story pressed
brick structure, was built about five years
ago. A short time ago Mr.. Eble discovered
that the upper wall was weak, and he took
steps to have it replaced with new and
substantial one.
He had been working on the foundation
on Saturday, and to-day the old wall was to
be torn out. 1t had been weakened some
what by the excavation, and at 8 o'clock
yesterday morning it gave way, letting the
building down six inches, breaking the
large plate glass windows in the front and
completely wrecking the building. The
family who occupied the second story of the
house were startled by the noise, and on
going down stairs found the stock scattered
all over the floor. Mrs. Eble was badly
frightened.
The wrecked ed building proved quite an
attraction to sightseers yesterday, many
thousands gathering around it. The police
were kept busy all day keeping the crowds
away. They were obliged to stretch wires
across the pavement and in front of the
house.
Building Inspector Hoffman condemned
the building yesterday.

then came the overthrow. To obey the law

SHE STOPS THE TRAIN.
A CoIored Lady Pulls the Bell Rope and
Frightens People.


FriEhtens People.
Some excitement was caused on the train
bearing the people home from the camp
meeting at Williamsburg last evening, by
the violent manner in which it was stopped.
The train was fairly loaded down with
colored people; they were crowded into the
cars like sardines in box. Jokes, laugh
ter and songs were making things pleasant,
when the train was brought quickly to
standstill. Heads were out of all the win
dows in a minute, looking for reason; but
none was apparent.
The case was simply this: A colored lady
had found a piece of ribbon, and, not seeing
an owner, attempted to hang it on the bell
rope, and so stopped the train. She looked
on the matter as huge joke, and when told
by the conductor that she was guilty of a
penitentiary crime, merely said: Excuse
me-" She was very much afraid that her
mother would find it out, as she jokingly
said, and provoked the trainmen by her
fippant manner.

1T WAS A SUDDEN SHOCK.
Family and Friends of william Thaw Didn't
Dream He Was III.

With regard to the news from Europe
concerning the death of William Thaw, it
was published yesterday that the first init
nation the family received in Pitts
burg of his serious illness in Paris came on
Wednesday. That was inaccurate. The
two cablegrams, which came within half an
hour of each other, Saturday forenoon,
brought the first and only intimatiou the
family had of any illness whatever in Mr..
Thaw's case. Hence the sad intelligence
was as great shock to the family as to the
community, for none of them had dreamt of
such bereavement until the indication of
the end was at hand.
No further intelligence from Paris
reached the family yesterday, and just what
further arrangements as to obsequies,
ETC., will be made cannot now be outlined.
