The following is from the Be'laire cor
respondent Of the Budget
ITO. day all the glass factories in this
city close down for the usual summer
stop. All of the manufactures have had
q pretty fair season, doing good business.
The window houses have worked steadily
the season through, having stopped a few
days for want Of natural gas The flint
houses all worked steady but the Etna
and National, which also did up to last
month. Altogether, good business has
been done in the glass trade. The steel
works and nail factory also closes to-day
for the summer. The steel works did sn
excellent business this summer, but tie
nail works has only been working several
weeks
The arrangements for the entertainment
/ of the Glasswo-keis' National Convention,
to- be held 10 Bellaire next week, are about
an completed, and it is certain they will
be as pleasant time az can be arranged.
/ There will be over two hundred delegates
&C the Convention, and perhaps three
times as many visitors. There is talk of
an excursion from Findlay, and it is quite
probable there Will be large number 10
from that city on one day st least. The
Convention Will last a week or ten days,
and an excursion to Lake Chippewa has
been arranged for Thursday, July IL.
Anderson, Ind, and some Of the other
boom gas towns in the West, may have
advantages over this sections, but they
lust az surely have their disadvantages
Ar Anderson. Ind the American Glass
Co. composed of gentlemen from Wheel
ing and vicinity, is paying men full wages
10 do the same work that is done here by
BOYS at from fry cents to dollar a day
To is hsrd for 8 Wheeling RlasswOrker to
imagine an old gray-bearded man holding
mOulds Bnd carrying IN, but such a state
of affairs exists at Anderson.
Iron men in this city say that the &C
ton Of the Thomas Iron Company, OF New
York, in advancing prices will have nc
eject on the local market. Some time
eyo this same company made big cut IN
the prices and IL did net disturb this mar
Set tbs slightest. Within the past week
there has b9en az increasing demand for
iron hereab0uts and the prices have ad-
vanced on an average Of % cents per ton on
efficient grades. II the steady demand
still continues it is thought that another
slight advance will be made.
The United Brotherhood of Carpenters
prohibits the admission of any member
/ whose wife IS IL the saloon business. Car
/ penters gtlicted with chronic rheumatism
0r rupture can be admitted only as honor
airy members. One of the rules OF the
+ Brotherhood is that it cannot recognize
the working cards Of any other 0rganiza-
ZION of carpenters. Members who serve
az paid city trsmen are not allowed the
F benefits of the Brotherhood, on account OF
the hazardous nature Of fire service.
There is s slight hope that conflict
between capital and labor may yet be
avoided 10 the Homestead difficulty. The
wage conference, which was adjourned
last week without accomplishing anything
will be resssembled and another effort
made 20 adjust the dispute. What the
result of the second conference will be Is
impossible TO foretell, but the chances that
an amicable settlement viii be reached
are few.
Several new coal chutes viii be erected
ia Bridgeport this summer. David Boston
end Meisier Bros have already commenced
on their chutss, and smother one OF two
viii be built. The coal men are Of the
opinion that the local coal trade will be
better this coming winter than ever before.
The contemplated increase in the cost OF
natural gas warrants these opinions.
The improvements in the signal service
of the @, & P. railroad are being pushed
