MORE ABOUT THE WINDOW GLASS TRUST

After waiting for day or two to see
whether the tariff bill was really an accom-
plished act, and not liable to be replaced by
free trade measure for few mon this at
least, capitalists are becoming emboldened,
and from all ends of the country tales of tin
plate plants OF fabulous size about to spring
up in every direction are borne in the air.
From Chicago comes story of projected
plant to cost 81, 500, 900 and employ $500
men. The Armours and Swifts and
the Cronemeyer Manufacturing Com
pany, of Pittsburg, are mentioned as
being 'in it." The name of the latter COM
pany will be new one to local capitalists.
1t very probably is intended to allude to the
project in which Chairman w. e. Crouemeyer,
of the United States Timed Plate and Iron
Works, at Demmler, is reported as being inden-
titled with. Mr. Cronemeyer is firm believer
in the future of tin plate as vehicle for the
investment of capital with the probability of
fair return. 1t is understood that he has in
terested John H. Ricketson and other local
capitalists in the enterprise, and that an imme-
diate development of the industry will ensue.
1t is quite certain as already pointed out in
The DISPATCH, that large amount Of
capital will be invested on timed plate plants.

Several schemes in this connection will be
matured during the visit of the visiting iron
men.
Mr.. R. P. Rothwell, the well-kpown mining
expert, had this to say lately about the Black
Hills tin prospect. He had visited the Harney's
Peak Tin Mining Company's property in South
Dakota. There there was an expensive plant
and every facility that abundant capital could
provide for the development of the mines. but
very little tin. Mr.. Rothwell said that the
company was getting out just about enough
tin to pay operating expenses He did not be-
lieve that there would be 10 tons of the metal
produced all next year. In no other section of
the country is there any pretense of working
the deposits of tin known to exist.

Mr.. D. b. Oliver Does Not Believe the
Standard of Steel Has Been Raised.
Mr.. D. B. Oliver. of Oliver Bros. & Phillips,
was seen yesterday in regard to the report that
the Government had raised the standard of
steel above that actually required by law. He
denied the general assertion. His firm has
been furnishing very large amount of steel
for the Government and have been extremely
fortunate for several years.
I'VE have never had cause to complain about
the manner in which our goods are tested"
said he. THE representatives of the Govern
ment, while always persistently exact have
never stepped beyond the line of justice to my
knowledge. Of course, they don't look at the
material from a business standpoint. and they
care very little, if any, whether the steel passes
the test or not. The Government has invited
a conference with the leading manufacturers of
steel in America. This meeting will be held in
Washington on Saturday. the 18th. All of the
firms that have been furnishing steel to the
Government will be represented at the meet
ing, and some measure by which manufacture
ers will be relieved from such stringent re-
quirements will be adopted 1 will not be at
the meeting myself, but our firm will be repre-
sented The Government will be represented
by eminent experts, and the meeting will be an
interesting one."

tuition making window glass in the United
States west of and including Pittsburg, will 60
into practical effect the 18th of the
month. After that date it is forbidden
any factory to sell glass except through
general agency that will control the market.
The process of legal formation of the trust is
now being gone through with. and owing TO the
delay occasioned by the laws of Illinois, where
the trust is being incorporated, it will be some
week. before all the legal requirements are
complied with and the company have an
actual corporate existence.
But in the meantime the agreement between
factories will govern the output and the sales
until the company Is fully organized. Glass
has been advanced in price and another ad-
vance will take the advance as result of the
new tariff. The trust will pay the factories
stipulated price for their glass and at the end
of the year the profits remaining over the ex-
pense are to be divided pro rata among the sew

IN THE DRUG BUSINESS.
The State Board of Pharmacy Will Prose-

The State Board of Pharmacy Will Prose-
cute Incompetent Druggists.
The State Board of Pharmacy held its quar-
terly meeting at the Monongahela House yes
terday. The members present were President
A!onzo Roberts, of Philadelphia Secretary
H. b. Cochran, of Lancaster; Vice President
A. B. Burns of Montrose; A. ]. Tafel, of Phil
adelphia, and F. H. Eggers, of Allegheny. The
first business considered by the board was the
papers of the applicants for qualified assist
ants and the applicants for registry. Another
which the board will take action upon are the
complaints lodged against druggists for incom-
potency. The cases will be investigated, and, if
necessary, the druggists under fire will be COM
PEELED to stand an examination such as is re-
quired of the students, and if they fail in this,
Secretary Cochran stated that the board wo Id
compel these unskilled pharmacists to retire
from the business.
A number of unregistered druggists are now
doing business throughout the State by virtue
of the right conferred on all those who were
engaged in the business at the time or previous
to the law requiring them TO be registered was
passed. Mr.. Eggers stated that when any COM
plants were made against these druggists, the
above course was pursued.

The New System of Locks.

Arthur Kinks exhibit in Mechanical
Hail, wherein is found the beautiful model
of his invention, which demonstrates the
new era in canal and river locks, interests
the visitors greatly, but it especially COM
mands the attention OF those whose business
interests are centered in boats. In the olden
days, and up to date, the loss of time in
passing from one level to the other has been
a matter of serious consideration, but now
with this bright and practical arrangement
delay is reduced to minimum. The larger
OF the two steam rock drills Tor mining mas
the capacity to drill from $50 to 200 feet per
day. Only three men are needed to run ii,
and they can accomplish with this drill as
much as 30 men could do in the same length
OF time under the old system of hand drills.
The smaller drill which is shown is destined
for drilling small holes in which to place
explosives for splitting large rocks. Ex-
perts, who have examined these labor-sav-
ing apparatus, are confident that these
machines will do all that Mr. Kirk
claims for them. Very properly in
connection with these is made of blasting
and gunpowder, that's you labor under the
delusion that you are looking at those very
ticklish, uncertain substances, but these are
merely fac smiles of the cans, etc., filed
with harmless sand or sawdust. The very
great Difference paid to these dummies by
those who have not been initiated is in
tensely amusing to the wiser ones. The
sturdy stone crushers are genuine enough,
and if looks are worth anything these ought
to be able to accomplish wonders in their
line. This is surely not one of those ex-
hibits that can be appreciated or compre-
hended in cursory inspection, but it is one
that does and should receive the closest
scrutiny, and the large-minded observation
of practical men who have long sought
reliable ways and means of relief in just the
lines that Mr.. Kirk has brought right to
them in this very attractive form.

NOT TOO LATE FOR BLAcKsNAKEs

A Butler County Farmer Badly Bitten by
One He Hauled From Home.
John Shrlber. farmer of Butler county, was
on the MorDingside road with wagon load of
hay yesterday afternoon, when he heard
rustllng in the hay. and turning around saw
large blacksnake coiled in the load. Shriber
attempted with pitchfork. to throw the snake
from the wagon, but was not quick enough.
The snake bit Shr1ber on the left leg below the
knee, and also on the hand. Maddened by the
pain Shriber sprang on the head of the snake
with both feet and finally killed it.
Shriber then drove rapidly to the house of
George Enos. which was not far away. When
he entered the house his arm and leg were very
much swollen. DR.. Sands, after giving
Shriber large drink of brandy applied am
monia to the wounds until the swelling was re-
duced. The snake, 1t is said was six feet long

PROPOSED NEW ROADS.

The Street Railway Committee Considers
the North Allegheny Ordinance.
The Allegheny Street Railway Committee
met last night to consider several ordinances.
The first one taken up was that of the North
Allegheny Company which proposes to build
line from point on the line of the old OBJ
servatory Hill road several miles from the city
to a point the line of Ross township.
Amendments were tackled on to it, providing
that the work must be commenced in one year
and completed in two years, and In case the
line is consolidated with any other the fare to
the city must not be changed. With ,these it
was ordered to be printed for the use of Coun-
cils
The ordinances of the three lines the Pitts
burg and Bellevue. Fremont Street and Jack
son Street roads. were all reported adversely
from the subcommittee. On motion to ap-
prove the report considerable discussion took
place. There was quite lobby of citizens
present, and one OF them, w. s. Pier, Esq,
made an address in which he requested the
committee to quash the report. He said the
people on the line of the Pittsburg and Belle
vue road were absolutely in need of it. On
motion of President James Hunter the ordi-
nance relating to that line was referred back to
the subcommittee. and those relating to the
other roads we're ordered on file.

RIBBONS AND CROWNS.
ROYAL ARcANuM DAY AT THE EXPO A
BIG SUCCESS.

Plans for Candidate Delamater's Visit To-
Create a Law Placing Petty Cases in
the Hands of Police Justices.
The red ribbon and cross-encircled crown,
the insignas of the Royal Arcanum. were seen
on every hand at the EXPO yesterday and last
night. The order was out in full force, and
the committee in charge Of the register had
their hands full. The visitors were from
all over the county and State, and many
registered from other States. An excellent
showing was made of the membership of the
order. It is possible that some other secret So
cieties may follow the example of the Royal
Arcanum soon by holding a reunion at the Ex-
position.
Candidate Delamater will visit the big show
to-day. He will be escorted from his hotel by
President y. ). Marvin and Colonel SchoOn-
maker. On reaching the Expo about 8 P. M. he
will be conducted to the orchestra. After
few Introductory words from the President OF
the Exposition Society, the candidate for
Gubernatorial bonors will address the visitors.
1t is likely that Delamater will avoid all allu-
sions to party politics. After his speech he
will be shown through the Expo by Messrs

A very live topic in this city at the present
time was voted on yesterday at THE DISPATCH
headquarters IN the Brunswick -Balke- Collen-
der Company's space. The subject was: "Should
the courts be relieved by law placing petty
cases in the hands of police just1ces?'' Nearly
column of names and votes had been regis
tered before mo" appeared on the poll books,
and after that the ratio of ayes was about 4, to
noes !.
Some of the notings in the "remarks
column were to the point and will give some
thing of an idea of how different people think
upon the question. Some of the affirmative
remarks were st would give them more time
for more important cases; !" LESS trouble for
the Judges;' - ut would add dignity to the
Bench and to the excnequer of police JUS
tices;' "Save expense - ut would facilitate
business" justices pay more attention to
local matters and know the people personally
whom they deal with ,; "It lowers the dignity
of Court trying such cases."
Some of the negative reasons were: God
forbid that any persons liberty should be left
to one mans Judgment" Justice is strang-
er in police courts;' Especially in this age of
corrupt police judges;'' There is no justice to
be had in the office of a police magistrate;"
Magistrates are open to bribes;'' I'VE want
no one-man power; The most experienced
men are found in the court"
