How He Got Back.

The Stenbenville Herald tells the fol.
lowing interesting little story: A story j.
non being told concerning tho manner in
which Joseph Wannemscher obtained his
reinstatement in the railway mail service.
After being discharged he wrote letter tC
P. II. G. Wsnnamsker in which he tx
pressed his surprise the. one who bore IL,
same name as a Cabinet officer, belonged
TO the same church denomination and whC
received his first religious instruction from
the same psstor that WIS COW the p. n
G.'s pastor, would have been discharged
from d place wherein his record vas almost
faultDess. The letter is said 10 have been
30 unique in its conception that it reached
the eye OF Mr.. Wannamaker aud the
next time he went over to Phiiadel.
pbis to conduct his Sunday School, he took
the letter along and showed it to Rev.
James A. Worden. the pastor above referred
to. Mi. Worden's recommendation must
have been satisfactory, az Immediately after
the answer came from the p. NJ. G.. that
Jos. Wannamaker would he reinstlted.
This is said to have been 20 bigger surprise
to any one than 20 Joseph, who wrote his
latter more in the spirit OF O joke. His
reinstatement, On whatever ground il may
have been brought about, is pretty bitter
pill and does not speak very we'll for Re-
publican administration. If il were done
ON the religious and morality ground, prob
ably some S,eubenyiile people could have
added testimony.

THE GLASS-PACKERS.
THEIR DEMAND FOR AN ADVANCE ALMOST
DUB.
The 10Th Inst the Date Fixed for Final Answer
Mssfngn the Interests Ofths Proposed New
Bridgs-Oher Industrial.

On the 18th inst.-Thursdsy-the man.
ayers of the various glass houses in this
city and vicinity will have to meet the de-
mands of the glsss-packeTs for an advance
in wages, or the men interested-about one
hundred in number, will go out on a strike.
It will be remembered that few weeks
ago delegates from the glass-packers, mix
ers, etc, met in Pittsburg and formed a
Federation, which was designed to include
all the employees of glass houses not
included in the A. F. G. W. q. The
new organization considered wages among
other things, and decided that there ought
to be an uniform rate Of So per day, or
niece work, and instructed the wOTkmen
to insist upon that compensation for their
labor. The 81 rate, or pieee-wOrk, pre-
walls in Pittsburg glass factories, but down
in this part Of the country all sorts OF
wages have been paid in the past. For
instance, at the North Wheeling glass
works and in the Bsllaire factories, the rare
has been 81 so per day; at the Central,
and Hobbs, in this city, and the North
wood and Buckeye, over the river, the rate
has been S175, while at the Elson, ii is
understood, various rates have prevailed.
The demand by the men for uniform
rate is virtually a demand for Pittsburg
prices, and, as has been stated, the demand
must be met by Thursday. What the
manufacturers will do about it, will have
to be developed later on.

An Important Bridge Meeting.

MsjOr Amos Stickney, U. s. A. Govern.
ment Engineer in charge of the canal work
at Louisville, KY Major D W. Lockwood,
U. s. A, in charge of Ohio River improve
ments, located at Cincinnati, and Capt.
Thomas Tattle, Captain of Engineers in
Chief Engineers ofice at Washington, D.
c., who compose the Board of Engineers
appointed to examine the plans and loca-
ton Of the proposed bridge to cross the
river az q point below Tenth street, arrived
in the city yesterday and took quarters at
the Mcclure House.
Messrs. G. W. G. Ferris and G.. Kauff-
man, civil engineers, of Pittsburg, also
came down yesterday. These gentlemen
are in charge of the engineering work on
tie new bridge, and the object of their
visit was to meet with the Government
Board and submit their plans for the
structure.
The meeting wss held at 1880 O'Clock
in tbs Mcclure House parlors, and the
Government Board carefully examined the
plans and considered the proposed location.
The gentlemen then all drove over to E.na'
Vile to look over the proposed location of
tbs bridge on that side Of the river. This
was merely a private meeting, and pub
lie meeting will be held at the Mcclure
House parlors for consideration OF the
location Of the structure at II O'Clock this
morning.
The plans are very fine, and experts WI o
have examined them cay they never saw
more perfect ones for a bridge. After to-
days meeting the Board will send in its
report, and it will not be long before every
thing is in shape to commence work on
the structure,

A Conferences to be Held To-Day.

To-day President William J. Smith, Of
the Amerisan Flint Glass Workers Union,
will meet with representatives of the
Hobbs and Central Glass Companies, of
this city, the Belmont, of Bsllaire, and the
Eison, of Martins Ferry. Tue meeting
will be held at the Mcclure House, and
will be for the purpose of determining what
number Of paste mould tumblers shall con-
stitute d turn in union glass factories. As
il isEo6, the Rochester Tumbler Company,
which employs non-uniOn men exclusively,
has such a decided advantage in the
matter of numbers and prices that those
factories which employ union men cannot
compete with them at all. 1t is now pro-
posed that the union factories be granted
such rebates and concessions as will make
it possible for them to compete with or
undersell their non-union competitors.
1t is no5 the intention Of the union to re-
duce the wages Of the men, bat simply aa
an association to help the union msnufac.
turers beat tine Rochester people.
