THEIR TENDER PLANT.

Coal Dealers Cuss the Past Weather and
Hope the Present Will Inst.
Since the advent OF natural gas the coal
men have not done booming local busi-
ness, anyhow; but the unparalleled open
winter has been too much for their even
tempers.
They have been hopping mad, and the
big cut in their reduced revenues is not
viewed with the perfect sangfroid of the
unterrlfed.
"Give us cold or heat, one or the other,''
said recently disgruntled but cheering-up
dealer yesterday; "but confound the luke
warm weather we have been having. Our
calculations have been completely upset.
One day the air is keen and raw, and it
makes us shiver, and the next day people
are on the streets, basking in the sunlight,
and talking about the warmth of the season.
you know business mans success de-
pends on his foresight. Reasoning by
analogy, there is always cold weather in the
winter, and we prepare for it by laying in a
supply of coal in the fall. Well, we have
the stock, and can't get rid of it, unless the
Geld snap lasts. People who do buy it don't
need it for long, and that is what touches us
on tender spot. After all, nature must be
balanced, and one man must lose so that
another can gain, I suppose.

At the business meeting the following

Samuel Harper, President; Vice Presi-
dents, William Lupton, Warden Wright
and Lee S. Smith; Secretary, William
Lytle; Treasurer, Joseph Eiehbaum.
About IS guests, many ladies, sat down at
the banquet. An elegant menu had been
prepared, and this part of the programme
was certainly appreciated. The company
was partially broken up at IL o'clock by
those leaving who lived in nearby towns
and were forced to catch late trains.
Prof Slack, the retiring President.
opened the intellectual part of the feast by
singing a song He was heartily applauded.
The balance of the time, up to a late hour,
was spent in listening to witty and enter
tanning speeches. Samuel Harper deliv-

Two members of the organization died since
the last banquet was held.
To Lee S. Smith was given the delicate
task of speaking for the Ladies'" and he
handled his subject tenderly and with care.
Mr.. Rutledge replied to his effort. Mr. J.
B. Stevenson discussed the Province of
Veteran Masonry" A number of others

HEAVY GLASS ORDERS.

Crystal Glass Will be the Rage this Year
CoIored Glnss no Good-How They
Ship IL to the Pacific.
There will be large quantity of glass to
move West from this territory in the course
of few weeks. The manufacturers have
been getting out their new designs for the
season, and have not been making much
glass until they knew how the designs took
with the dealers. The work of the agents
have been we'll done, and the orders are be-
ginning to pour in.
The tendency of taste this year is toward
clear or crystal glass. The colored varie-
ties are no longer in demand, and are fast
going out of fashion. For the next year, at
least, clear glass will be the rage until some
new wrinkle is introduced. Glass, like
clothing, has its fashions and they change
often.
The commercial agents are keeping
keen outlook for contracts. One agent said
yesterday he knew of five carloads that
would go West in few days, and in short
time ten times that many cars will be ready
to move. 1t is difficult to estimate how
much Pittsburg glass finds its way West.
Nearly all the glass for the Pacific coast
goes in less than carloads, but for Omaha
and the river points the manufacturers ship
by the carload.

GAS IN CALIFORNIA.
A Pittsburg GeoIogist to Examine IL and

A Pittsburg Geologist to Examine IL and
Establish Plant.
Mr.. Charles A. Ashburner, the eminent
geologist of the Fuel Gas and Electric
Engineering Company, went on mission
to California last night, and will in all
probability not return for over month.
When Mr.. Ashburner was asked for the
purport of his journey he refused to divulge
its real object 1t is understood that he has
been sent to California in the interest of the
company he represents, to examine several
extensive tracts of land in Central and
Southern California for natural gas, with a
view of establishing plant there. The
company has already been organized. Dis
coveries of gas have been made in several
places. Mr.. Ashburner said:
can application was made to our COM
pany to have the territory examined. If
the examination is successful the company
will build pipe lines and sell the gas to con-
sumers."
"Has there ever been natural gas found
in California to any extent?"
Eyes. have pretty good knowledge Of
the geology of California, and feel confident
that there is quantity of gas to be found
there. When return 1 shall be able to
give you great deal more information"

At the morning session the Rev. George
Hodges, of Calvary Church, preached q
very interesting and intensely original ser
mon on 'The Conscience" This was fol-
lowed by two papers on Amounting the
Sick," by Reys. f. G. Cowper and 7. j.
Danner. The special thought emphasized
in these essays was the absurdity Of the So

THE COKERS' TROUBLE.
A General Strike Will Not Occur, but Fif-

A General Strike Will Not Occur. but Fif-
teen Men Are Discharged.
There is no change in the situation in the
Connellsville coke region. All the works
reported out yesterday are still idle and a
general strike will be averted unless COM
bination is m ade by the K. of L. and N. P.
U. at the joint convention, on Saturday.
The Donnelly works, of Mcclure & Co.,
are, idle and will not be put in operation
for two or three weeks, or until the firm is
ready. About Is men, who were the lead
ers in the strike, have been discharged and
the others will be given employment when
the firm is ready to resume operations.
The men at the Standard Works of the
H. c. Frick Coke Company are still on
strike, and there is no indication of settle
ment; in fact tits not known exactly what they
are striking for, as they have been paid 81
per cent more wages than was paid in the
balance of the region for year.
The organizers of the N. P. U. and X. Of
L. are hard at work and have received many
new members within the past two days.
They believe if the two organizations
work together that uniform scale can be
adopted and enforced throughout tine region.
Both sides are working hard and something
definite will likely be done at the joint con-
vention to be held on Saturday.

FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.
The Ordinance About Crossings Referred

The Ordinance About Crossings Referred
to Sub. Committee.
AT the meeting of the Committee on Pub
lie Safety yesterday the ordinance intended
to secure greater safety at railroad crossings
was referred to a committee consisting of
Messrs. Ferguson, Ruhlandt and Shelton.
The bill provides that all trains must
come to full stop at not more than 80 feet,
while fagman passed in front of the train
at any crossing Several of the members
opposed it on the ground that it would cause
continual blockades on Penn avenue and
Liberty street. Chairman Lambie wanted
it to include the Fifth Avenue Traction
Company at the Smithfeld street crossing,
which he said was an extremely dangerous
place to pedestrians and vehicles.
A recommendation to the department was
made to purchase lot in the Thirty-second
ward for an engine house at cost Of not
more than $1,000.

A Penn Aveuucr Gets Into Another Mans,

boarding house OF Daniel Cooper and
George Householder at the corner of
Twenty-sixth street, and taken the new one
from the latter's trunk.
He is now keeping himself warm by hot
air from the heaters in Warden Berlin's

QUAINT wORSHlPERs.
How the Clergymen Used to Read From the
Single Book ON Hand.

How the Clergymen Used to Read From the
Single Book ON Hand.
This was in the good old days of Method
ism when the solemn congregation were not
supplied with hymn books, and in all prob
ability could not read them if they had
been.
At Wellersburg, quaint old country
town in the heart of the Blue Mountains,
along the Maryland State line, the minis
ter, as had been his wont for full 40 years,
arose to read few lines of the hymn from
his solitary book, when it was the duty Of
the worshipers to sing the lines and await
their cue from the next.
The good and holy man appeared some
what nervous on this especial Sabbath
morn, but even his nervousness could not
cause him to deviate one single infection in
his see-saw-cracked intonation as he leaned
forward, as he had done many time and
oft in giving the opening hymn, and said
with the the old-time drawl that seems for
ever lost: -..r
.'My eyes are dim, cannot see,
left my specs at home"
The quaint, simple, faithful congregation
dutifully sang:
NAV avs aw deem aw cav nav saw" etc.
This slightly ratified the dear old relic,
and his voice trembled somewhat on the
rising infection, but not enough to create
suspicion in the mine of the slow thinking
congregation as he SAID:
II did not mean that you should sing,
only meant my eyes were dim"
Away went the congregation again to the
sweet tune of Old Hundred:
saw deed nav meen thaw yaw shaw saw" etc.
1t has been many years since the little
three-cornered plot of ground back of the
old church has held the revered form Of the
faithful pastor, but even to this day there is
a legend in those mountain wilds that the
quiet holy man had once laughed outright
in the pulpit, and for no apparent cause.
