Inspecting Telegraph Poles.

A young man with a gimlet two feet
long stopped in front of a telegraph
pole in street in New Yok City the
other day and began to bore into
it. Another young man stopped also
and asked the first what he was about,
to which the following reply was
made: Il am going to find out how
long this stick will stand up. I am
employed by the company that owns
the pole and it is my business to go
about the streets making inspections
like this Every pole is numbered,
and when make my report the COM
pany takes action according to the
condition of the wood. This is the
only way we can tell how strong the
pole is, for decay begins beneath the
surface and works toward the center.
1t shows on the outside last. So you
CAN'T tell from the looks whether a pole
may not come down in the first high
wind, or light one either, for that mat
ter This one," and he withdrew his
gimlat and looked at the fine shavings
clinging to it, twill last year without
danger. There is one on the Bowery,
near Fourth street, that looks perfectly
sound. much better than this one, in
fact, and yet it is decayed from surface
to surface, and is liable to tumble any
day. Cor. Rochester Democrat.

DOES IT MEAN 4 TRUST?

A COMBINE OR POOL IN VIEW,

Wheeling Manufacturers Active
in tho Project-A Recent
Visit of Potters Here.

There is good reason to believe that
the large manufacturers Of queensware
and chinaiu this country arc epdeayor'
ing to form a pool or trust, and that the
three large potterles Of Wheeling are in
the scheme,
1t is not probable that the plan has
yet matured, but it is evident that the
organization Is about complete, 1t in
Cludes the potteries Of Trenton and
neighboring New Jersey towns, East
Liverpool, Toronto, Wellsville and Steu,
benyille, Ohio, and this clty-all the ex-
tensive manufactures OF the common
line Of goods,
The INTELLIGESCER the other day
mentioned the presence here OF leading
pottery operators OF Trenton, East Lily
erpool and steubsnville, They were in
consultation with the Wheeling officials
OF the potteries on the subject, Several
Of the Wheeling manufacturers yester'
day left on a tour OF those towns on
business connected with the same pro-
ieCt,
The exact proposal could not be learn
ed, those interested declining 10 talk,
but either q pool OF products or a formal
trust is to be formed, more probably q
pool, All that Is lacking now ia a plan
which will secure the cooperation OF all
concerns In the line OF trade affected.
1t is expected that this will BIO attained
at an early day,
There Is u growing over production o.
pottery ware, and prices and trade are
demoralized badly, Hence the desire
Tor a combination to regulate the pro
duct, prices and business methods
There Is little question that the scheme
will be carried out.
