Correction.

ABBEVILLE, s. c., June Is, 1889
In my report of the cases at the last term Of
Court made the following erroneous mention
Of Mr.. Edgar Outz.
"The case against Edgar Outz was first call
ed and at the request or the Solicitor, 1t was
placed on the contingent docket. OutZ is
charged with embeZzlement, was not presen,
to answer to the charge. He had been arrest
marked continued" :,
The case against him Was simple assault
and battery. It. was compromised and the
Solicitor mol pressed the case. was moi
aware of the mistake until 1t was called 70
NV attention, and take this manner of cor
recting the error, hoping the mistake will
do Mr.. Outz no harm.

Sensible Talk.

There Is no necessity for temper so often
shown by men and journals in dealing with
public questions-nay, there is no excuse for
it. The man who losses good temper in the
course OF argument, or In private or public
contest, either shows the weakness of his side
or his own inability To defend it. The angry
man generally writes himself down an ass
The nOblcSt trait II man can show Is not
genius but good temper. IL mclncS conf
dence, IL means strength, it, means charity.
Few public men succeed without good tcni-
per. No public journal can become popular
or Influential without it.

FIRE AT BRADDOCK.

Two Buildings Burned Down on Main Street
Early Yesterday Morning-Rumors of IN
Incendinry Origin.
At o'clock Yesterday morning a very
disastrous fire occurred at Braddock which
caused the total destruction of two build
ings and the partial loss of another. The
flames were first discovered in the front
windows of building owned and occupied
by John Gorham, No. 1914 East Main street.
The alarm was given, but before the volun-
teer fremen could arrive the frame build
ing was almost burned to the ground.
Although the fremen did efficient work,
the storeroom and dwelling of Thomas Cor
man, next to it, on the east side,
was also burned down. A three-storv brick
belonging to Mr.. Jacob Walters OH the
west size was very badly damaged. His
loss will be about $500 or $500. 1t is fully
covered by insurance The building in
which the fire originated was formerly used
for saloon purposes by John Gorham. The
one occupied by Thomas German was torm-
erly occupied by Joe Ridge, who was en-
gagged in the same business. They both
failed to get license last spring. Both the
buildings and the household effects and con-
tents of the stores of German and Gorham
were we'll insured.
The origin of the fire is a mystery. As
both the buildings were we'll insured and
burned very readily it was openly stated
yesterday that they were set upon fire by
persons unknown.

Birmingham line, was seen last night in re-
gard to the bill, and said he had not heard
anything about it, but could readily see the
object of the traction people to secure its
passage. He declined, however, to express
an opinion at present, but said:
ouf company is operated under a charter
granted in 1859, and the Pittsburg Traction
Company was granted permission by us to cross
our tracks. We made a contract with the CON-
pany, and one of the provisions is that our cars
have the right of way across Fifth avenue and
that they must stop their cars on both sides of
Smithfield street. This contract, however, has
beer violated, and believe we can annul it at
any time. They are probably afraid that this
may be done, and propose to relieve themselves
of the contract in some way.
Our company pays IS per cent of its net re-
ceipts every year, 10 per cent going to the State
and the balance to the city and county. We
have a contract with the State, and l do not
believe that bill as proposed by Mr.. Marland
can be legally passed. as the State would be
compelled TO violate its contract with us and
other like companies by so doing. The traction
company does not pay any tax and should not
be allowed more privileges than we enjoy"

A GLASS TRUST

Likely to be Formed by Window Mnnufnct-
urers To-Morrow.
The following important telegram was re-
ceived last night from Findlay, o.:
The window glass men of this city, who start
for Washington tonight to attend the National
Convention of the Window Glass Manufact-
urers' Association, which meets on Tuesday in
that city, have received a communication from
Pittsburg manufacturer. whose name they
would not disclose, asking them to vote for
proposition he intends submitting to the con-
vention. A resolution ordering the shutdown of
a number of factories in order to relieve the
glutted condition of the market and force
prices up little.
In his letter the Pittsburg manufacturer in
sists that prices are lower than ever before,
and that this state of affairs Is all due to the
large number of factories started during the
past TWO years in the West. He therefore pro-
poses that new factories, all but two Of which
are now in the association, not having any fuel
bills to pay on account of getting natural gas
free, shall shut down, thus relieving the market
of this output, and that the running factories
shall give those closing an equal share Of the
profits which will accrue from the national ad-
vance in prices, which this will bring about.
Interviews with the glass men here who will
attend the Washington convention reveals the
fact that with one exception they are favorable
to the proposition, and will so vote when the
matter comes before the meeting, thus assist
ing in the formation of nothing more or less
than a window glass trust with all that the
name implies.

OVERCROWDED GRIP CARS.

A Great Howl ut n Scarcity of Conveynnces
on Penn Avenue.
The delightful weather of yesterday drew
thousands from their homes to the streets.
Thoroughfares leading to the ruins of the
wreck on Diamond street were choked with
men, women and children, all eager to get a
look at the work of devastation. Nothing
could be seen except high board fence, yet
spell held people to the spot and impelled
them to gaze with silence on the outside of
the inclosure.
Thousands of people made their way to
the station of the Citizens Traction Com
pany to try the new Penn avenue and But
Ter street cable cars. There were only 15
cars running on each branch, and they were
crowded to over three and four times their
comfortable seating capacity. On one But
Ter street car going out there were 1O5 fares
collected. These passengers got on west of
Twelfth street, and after leaving the latter
thoroughfare the conductor would not stop
for more, although crowd stood at almost
every corner. There were no horse cars
run out, and the scarcity of the grip cars
caused the general howl,
The company has not yet secured enough
competent men to run the other grip cars,
which have been lying in the sheds.
One of the cars lost its grip west of the
power house, and delayed travel about 30
minutes
