A BUSINESS PENALTY.
One Firm Tries to Make Another Firm Pay
Over Considerable.

An argument was heard in Common Pleas
No. yesterday in the equity case of Thomas
M. Latimer against Edward Groetzinger and
Constable William Billings. Latimer states in
his bill that he purchased at Sheriff's sale the
goods of ]. r. Anderson at No. 13S Federal
street and No. 46 South Diamond street. The
store had formerly been occupied by Groet-
ginger, who had leased it from the late John
Dean. Groetzinger in turn leased it to Ander-
son. The rent was 5000 year. and the lease
contained proviso that no carpets or oil
cloths were to be sold on the premises under
penalty of $4,000.
When Latimer obtained the store he COM
menced to sell carpets and Oilcloths. He contend
ed that he had not purchased the lease and that
the penalty did not apply TO him. GroeJzInger,
however, brought suit for 81, 500 for two months
rent, and landlords warrant was issued and
placed in the hands of Constab bic Billings, who
levied on Latimers goods. The penalty was to
be recovered as rent. Latimer filed the bill in
equity yesterday. asking for an injunction to
restrain the defendants from levying on or sell
ing his goods and to prevent GroetZinger from
collecting the Sl0,0 900 penalty.
The Court heard the case and refused to issue
the injunction. 1t was held that to do so would
produce multiplicity of suits, as a landlords
warrant could be issued every month. 1t is
probable that new form of action will be
brought.

MERCY WAS REFUSED
By Judge Stowe in The Case of q. F.
Yoight, the Bank Wrecker.
A SENTENCE OF SIX YEARSIMPoSED
Odd Stipulation in the Agreement Between
Business Firms.
GENERAL NEWS IN COURT BUILDINGS

Henry F. Voight, the ex-cashier of the
defunct Farmers and Mechanics Bank,
Southside, was sentenced yesterday to six
years. imprisonment in the penitentiary.
When he was brought into court yesterday
j. L. -Ferg uson, Esq, Voight's attorney,
made long statement in regard to the case,
asking for leniency. To this Judge Stowe
replied:
II can conceive Of no excuse under
heaven, except starvation, for man who
will take and use the funds of other people
as you have done. I have no patience with
the way men convicted of the crimes you
have been come into court and ask to be excused.
man Convicted Of embezzIement comes to be
sentenced. He usually gets lighter sentence
than man who steals some triiing sum, al
though in my mind there are few crimes more
deserving of severe punishment than the ones
of which you have been convicted.
"H ou have been convicted of embezzling over
SlSS,O00 and feel that the sentence should be
severe one, and will make 1t as severe as
can under the circumstances. The sentence of
the Court is that you pay fine of cents, pay
the costs of the prosecution, and undergo an
imprisonment in the Western Penitentiary for
period of SIX years."
Mr.. Voight started slightly upon hearing this,
but there was no sensational scene.
Assignee Berg, of the bank, stated in regard
to the case: l am surprised now since Voight
enrered his plea OF nolle contendere. that he
did not leave the country before his arrest;
but am glad he entered that plea. 1t not only
saved an immense amount of work in going
over and comparing accounts in court, but it
relieved the directors and myself of any sus-
plcion which may have been placed upon us of
laving anything to do with the cause of the
banks failure. had hoped the Court would
be lenient with Mr.. Voight, and hoped that by
short sentence the law would be vindicated in
his case. do not think he meant to do wrong
when he first misappropriated the funds. He
had sustained losses, no doubt, by speculation.
and by going in The same iIath others had gone
before him, he got away beyond his depth and
could not save himself
Il am not sure whether or not any others will
be arrested. have been aware of the CT ooked-
ness of Mr.. McMasters' accounts for some time.
If any more arrests were contemplated think
the person upon whom suspicion rests is now in
Canada. The person referred to was also
speculator, and he and ex-Cashier Voight lost
great deal of money in various deals which has
resulted so dsastrously to them"
George L. Cake, the Secretary of the Window
Glass Workers Association, made an entirely
new statement In regard to the developments of
the case when he said yesterday: THE arrest
of McMasters is a scheme for the purpose of in
ducing him To divulge the place where Voght
is supposed to have hidden some of the money.
McMasters' case will bring out a great deal con-
cerning the operations of the bank while Voight
was Cashier

MRS. FOSTER TO THE RESCUE.
The Republican Parry Not to Blame for
ProbfbIion's Defeat in Pennsvlvania.


Prohibitions Defeat in Pennsylvania.
CHICAGO, June 22.-Mrs. j. Ellen Fos-
ter, of Iowa, Chairman of the Woman's
National Republican Committee, and we'll
known as a Republican prohibitionist,
was in Chicago to-day on her way
home from Rhode Island, where
she was actively engaged in the
amendment campaign. Speaking of the
defeats in the East, she said: at is a new
evidence OF the power and extent to which
the liquor traffic has depraved the people of
this country" Mrs. Foster denied that
there had been a genuine test in Rhode
Island and New Hampshire, but added:
Sin Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania the
contest was free and fair. The Republican
party in both States declared FOR submission
and redeemed its pledges. The attempt to
place the responsibility of the defeat in these
two States on the Republican party is
wholly unwarranted. The campaigns from
their inception were openly and necessa-
rily non-partiSan. Party aid, as
su"h, would under these conditions
have been impertinent assumption. 1t is
not strange that heartsick re :ormers seek to
evade the crushing logic Of these results,
namely, that a majority of the people are
still under the dominance OF appetite,
ave lie or cowardice or that they are insult
fciently acquainted with the conditions of
practical temperance legislation.

process is to draw the glass into tubes of the
diameter OF the p opposed bead. For this
purpose the glasshouse at Murano has q
kind Of ofropewalk gallery 150 feet long. By
gathering various colors from the different
pots aud twisting them into one mass many
combinations Of color are made. The tubes
are carefully sorted by diameters, and chip
ped into fragments Of Uniform size. These
pieces are stirred in a mixture OF sand
and ashes, which fills the holes, and pre-
vents the sides from closing together when
they are heatel. They are next placed in a
kind Of frying pan, and constantly stirred
into a globular form. When cool they are
shaken in one set OF sieves until the ashes
are separated, and in another series of sieves
until they are perfectly sorted by sizes.
Then they are threaded by children, tied in
bundles and exported to the ends Of the
earth.

16, 900 fish to make pound of the scaly

Imitation gems formerly employed the
chief attention of the highest artifcers in
glass. They are still the chief idea of orna-
mental glass in China. In the ancient and
middle ages they circulated everywhere
without much danger of discovery, and
their formulas were held as precious secrets.
Blancourt first published their composition
in 1896. Now they are common property;
and with the growth of science in the past
century an expert knowledge has become
widely disseminated which easily detects
the paste from the real jewel, particularly
as the modern false stones are less successful
copies than the old glassmakers produced.
More study is now given to artificial gems,
which are true gems, being composed of the
same materials as the genuine ones, but
manufactured.

POSSIBILITIES In GLASS.
How We May Live In Transparent Houses
and Cook by the Suns Heat.

anu SOOk Dy tue sun ueHts
Legend tells of the lost invention of "mal-
leable glass" Tiberius is said to have dis
couraged genius who found the secret by
beheading him, fearing the innovation
would reduce the value of gold. 1t is also
recorded, says writer in Harper's Maga-
zine, that Cardinal Richelieu was presented
with bust of malleable glass by a chemist,
who purposely let it fall into fragments, and
mended it be- lore his eyes with hammer.
The inventor was promptly rewarded by
perpetual imprisonment, lest his in
genuity should ruin the ''vested
interests" of French manufacturers.
But if glass may not ape the metals in
malleabilitv, it may initiate them in an
other respect just as important. A more
fortunate Frencbman ON. de la Bastie) has
within few years introduced into Europe
transmitted glass which, he claims, may
displace cast iron. If it fulfls his expecta-
tions it will mark a new era in glass, and
the old adage las brittle as glass" will be
succeeded by new one, "as tough as glass"
By his process railway sleepers, fence posts,
drain pipes, tanks, etc., are cast in molds,
and so toughened by bath in oils as to be
stronger than iron, though much lighter,

questioned whether his results reach what is
claimed for tho process.
These undeveloped toughening processes
augur astounding changes in the future Of
glass "Glass houses" may become the
fashion, and we would have to reverse our
proverb about them, for they would be bomb
proof. Already transparent glass bricks are
made. Extending the possibilities of glass
little iurther, why may we not build the
entire structure OF glass? The walls might
be cemented blocks cast like hewn stone,
but translucent, and of any color. One
could thus inhabit huge pile of amber or
of gigantic gems. The windows could be
multiorm, some of them telescope, bring
ing distant things near, some with lenses or
mirrors guiding the focused suns heat for
culinary and comfortable purposes, others
stra ming out the light or chemic rays.
Tapestries, furniture and uten ,ils might be
made of the universal material. The whole
would be more endurable than granite. No
fire could harm it; lightning would shun it.
Such dream, blossoming from this miracu-
lous substance, may be realized by an Alad-
din whose lamp is of glass.
