Office of the Belmont Glass Works, in Bel
laire, yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Snively,
the Secretary of the concern, has resigned
and will to-day 90 to the O'Hsra Glass
Works at Pittsburg, where he takes sim-
liar position. Mr.. Sniyely has always
been favOrite among the men under him,
as well as among the managers OF the con-
Germ, aud yesterday they showed their APP
probation and regard for the late Secretary
by presenting him with an elegant gold
watch. Mr.. John K Cow, of the Bellaire
Independent, made the presentation at the
office of the company in few neat re-
marks. Mr.. Snively was taken entirely
by unawares, and for few minutes was
unable to even thank the donors. He,
however, found his tongue before his
friends got away, and thanked them most
fervently, and expressed his sorrow at be-
ing forced by circumstance to part COM
pany with them. Mr.. w. H. Steinmsn,
of New York City, the BelmOnts eastern
agent, Was present at the presentation.
Although the glass business shows a
marked improvement over its condition
last spring, it is not at all flattering The
table ware business is still largely con-
trolled by the scheme companies. Lamp
trade is good and heavy orders have been
placed both for immediate and future de-
livery. Only q few concerns are repre-
sented in this city, but several others have
statesmen on the road and are receiving
good orders. It is held by the manufAc-
turers that the business must improve in a
few weeks, for the jobbers and glassware
handlers have but small stocks, and the
demand will assert itself before the first Of
the year.
Mr.. D. W. Fuller, the head of the Pitts-
burg, Wheeling and Lake Erie Coal 90.

Railway, is now ready to run cJal, and
will commence shipping as soon as the

Adena, about fifteen miles west Of the
