Thrilling Experience of Three Boys Who
Ran Away from ReforniatOry.
SALEM, MASS, March 15.-Three boys
who escaped from the reformatoIy farm
this noon had a very thrilling experience
while crossing the barbor. They made q
raft by mailing a board across three short
legs and then launched their fragile craft.
The wind was blowing off shore and was
sufficiently strong to raise ugly white caps.
The raft went 10 pieces in few minutes
and each boy seized log They were rolled
under By every wave, and the two younger
lads we're nearly drowned The oldest OF
the trio, named Hurley, padded about
until he had pushed the logs together.
Then he laid fat down upon the logs and
kept them together by extending his legs
and arms across them, getting grip with
his hands and feet. The water broke over
him repeatedly, but his presence Of mind
alone saved the entire party from drown
ing. Another Roy, Kennedy, stood in
water to bis knees, and, by dint of hard
padding with a board, succeeded in stem
ming the current and landing just below
the lighthouse at Hospital Point, Beverly
side. They struck out for Gloucester but
were captured.

NOTHING BUT TALK.
A Man Who Says Wheeling Glass Manu-
facturers are Despond mt.

facturers are Despond mt.
The Pittsburg Commercial Gazette of yes
terday morning contained an item wherein
P. A. Lyon, general Eastern agent of the
Wabash railroad, who has been down this
way looking after the freight interests of
bis road, is quoted ss saying that the glass
ard pottery men in tn Wheeling district
are very despOndent, and prophesy disas-
ter to their business ON account of the
Wholesale rate cutting on wares by the new
factories started in the towns in the Ohio
and Indiana natural gas belt, where fuel
and ground 10 build factories on have been
given free and an exoneTation of taxes on
plante has been granted for years, and hat
the factories at Findlay, o., Muncie, Ko-
komO, Anderson and other towns in Indi-
ana, are in the center of TIE district where
they have very large trade, and that with
free fuel, free land, no taxes and in some
cases money subsidies to build with, it is
impossible for the Eastern factories to COM
pete with them and they will shut down
in r short time indefinitely.
A REGISTER reporter hunted for some of
these despOndent men yesterday but did
not succeed in locating any of them.
This talk mainly originated from the
recent talk about the Central moving" +"
said one gentleman interested in the glase
business. about the only thing that
makes us any way dependent Just now is
the dullness OF the glass trade, but think
everybody is affected alike, and the Ohio
factories feel it Just as much as we do. II
We cannot compete with these people,
imagine Pittsburg is in the
same box. but do not see
that Ohio has any advantage over us in
manufacturing glass. OF course some oil
the Ohio factories have some advantage
over us on certain kinds of ware, but We
have nearly es many over them.
"Yes, there is talk Of making an attempt
to get revision of the rates on glass and
crOckery, and while We may not secure the
old classification and rates, still We hops
to have the old rates practically restored -
In this connection the Bellaire hdepea.
dent says: 80 far we have not heard OF
the fortunes that were to be made by the
glass manufacturers that located some
months sgo in the growing cities in the gas
fslds. In fact, in not single instance has
the big money materialized. 1t is in the
shadowy future, but We have heard on
good authority that not a concern that was
well located in the Ohio Valley but has
lost money by leaving it, and some parties
can count their losses by thousands OF
dollars
