President Campbell Says the Window Scale
Will be Accepted.
President James Campbell, of the Win
dow Glass Workers Association, is home
from the East. where he has been attending
the meeting of the wage committee during
the past week. Mr.. Campbell said last
night that the prospect for glass workers
was very encouraging indeed. The scale Of
wages, which goes into operation October 1,
gives an all-round advance of 81 per cent
would be any trouble whatever about the
adoption Of the scale, as several large man
ufacturers had signed it while he was in the
East, and the rest were simply holding back
for time. By November all the Eastern
manuiacturers will have signed the scale.

MARsHELL. THE CASH GROCER.
VIII Save You Money.

We have been in business less than three
years, and have the largest retail grocery
trade in Western Pennsylvania; employ the
most clerks-36, or two more than we had q
week ago, and we needed them-and have
the most delivery agons-seven in number.
Our friends will excuse us for repeating
these facts 50 often, for we admit we are
proud of our success We think it is a
record of which we have cause to be proud,
and it shows that the people appreciate fair
dealings and an honest endeavor to save
them money. From the start we have made
it rule to do business on strictly square
basis, to avoid Leaders," or the attempt
to make one cheap article sell host Of
dear ones and other species Of juggling
which have become timeworn in all branches
of business.
We have worked hard, early and late, to
increase our business, but we do not take all
the credit to ourselves, for we have been
greatly aided by the efforts Of few Of our
competitors, who, by their constant abuse
and envious assertions, have drawn atten-
tion to us and advertised us in way which
otherwise would have cost US years Of time
and large sums of money.
We are very grateful to these competitors,
indeed, and sincerely hope they will con-
tinue their efforts in our behalf For the
first thing their hearers will do will be to
come to our store to see what sort Of people
we are anyway. and by our fair dealings
and honest methods we are confident we can
hold them as customers.
We have few special bargains in evap-
GRATED fruits which will pay you to exam
inc. Imported prunelles, 4 lbs. 25c; Cali
iornia apricots, A lbs 25c; California peaches,
81 lbs. 25c These are special prices which
cannot be duplicated. We bought all we
could get-one ton of each-but even 1000
lbs. will not last long with trade like ours.
Send for weekly price list and compare
prices all around with the prices you are
paying. Orders amounting to $40, without
counting sugar, packed and shipped free of
charge to any point within 200 miles.

city to children. Prosecutions were insti-
tuted in 3,167 cases, of which 3,130 were
convicted. There were reported 10, ,S92 cases
of cruelty to animals, for which 1854 per-
sons were sued and S74 convicted. The soci-

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
McMasters VIII Probably Have TO Appear
Before the Court.

1t is hard to decide what has been dore in
regard to the Farmers and Mechanics Bank
defalcation. 1t was claimed by some of the
papers yesterday that the friends of young
McMasters had effected a settlement upon
the payment of So, 500, but those who should
know most about the matter say they know
nothing of such settlement. An effort was
made to see some of the officials of the bank
last night, but none of them could be found.

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS.
A Series Of Accidents Occur TO the Allegheny
Electric Station.

Electric Station.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon a
cylinder head blew out of one of the engines
in the electric light house on East Diamond
street, Allegheny. The damage was soon
repaired. About dark the governor of
another engine broke, and for short time
there was no light in the shops on Federal
and Ohio streets. At about 10 o'clock an
armature in one Of the dynamos, which feeds
to the incandescent circuit, burned out.
Lights went out again in many stores
and in the market house. The market was
crowded, and the sudden darkness caused
great confusion. In about five minutes an
electric connection was made with the Pitts
burg light station, and the Allegheny
illumination was resumed.

No uniformed body of men presents such
a gorgeous spectacle as do the Knights
Templar. It is only once in three years
that they assemble in body in one of the
principal cities of America, and as they

double opportunity to witness the brilliant
gathering and to visit the beautiful capital
city on the Potomac will be offered from
every station on the various lines of the
Pennsylvania Railroad at one fare for the
round trip. The conclave will contine from
October to II, 1889, and tickets will be
sold October ., 6, and 8, valid for return
trip until October 81, 1889. Returning q

the year to visit Washington. Specific
rates will be furnished by agents on appli-

COKE PROSPECTS.
The Price is Not Liable to be Advanced for
Some Time TO Come.

Some Time TO Come.
During the last week there was large
requestf for coke, and consumers, anticipating
the advance to 81 so, which takes effect on
October l, were anxious to stock up at the
current price, 81 So. Cars were, however,
very scarce all last week.
A prominent operator said he did not be-
lieve that coke would sustain further ad-
vance by December 1, or January 1. The
demand for coke was governed by the iron
market, and the Frick Company, having
much to do with naming prices, Mr.. Frick
will see that, with pig iron at $16 or there
abouts, no manufacturer could stand 81 coke
or 81 75 coke.
