Another New Nail.

Il has long been the aim Of the cut mai
men to get cut nail that would combine
one of the advantages of the wire mai
with the several the cut nail already pos
ssssss over the wire nail-namely, sharp
point which would not tear the wood 10
driving. The sharp point is the greatest
advantage possessed by the wire nail, but
now we are to have cut nail that is the
proud possessor of point that will knock
the wire nail silly.
Two gentlemen from Terra Hsuts. Ind,
have been in the city several days past,
and have been Engaged in erecting new
nail machine in the Belmont factory,
which in about all respects is precisely the
same as the ordinary cut nail machine,
with the exception of the gripping lever, or
which they have secured a patent.
The new machine was put in operation
Yesterday, and the nails produced WERE
certainly splendid specimens. 1t is an
edge-eripe eight penny nail of handsome
shape, and q point that will make thu
point Of wire nail look sick. Ga thi'
pointiEg process is what the gentlemen
have their patent, and from present ap
pearances they have valuable invention
With it the wire nail can be overcome.

A MEETING
OF THE BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL HELD
LAST EVENING
And Several Matters Of Interest Disposed OLA
New Nail That Promises to Catch On
In Great Shape.

The outlook for q settlement OF the
strike among the building trades in the
city ia not as favorable SIS it was some days
since.
On Wednesday a committee from the
Stone m ssons' Union met with like COM
mittee from the stone contractors for the
purpose of comforting in reference to the
demands of the masons. The contractors
agreed to pay the wOrkmen SCI per week
Of SO hours averaged up, which is virtually
So so per day, what the stonemasons de-
manded.
But the workmen claim this PROPOSE
ton, which provides for payment by
the hour instead of by the day, is
made TO defeat the eight hours on Satur'
day, which they do not want to see done,
az it would be strike at several other
trades which are now working only eight
hours on Saturday for the same as they
receive for nine hours on other days, and
they refused to accept the proposition.
This matter was reported to the Trades
Council at its meeting last evening, and 1t
was fully discussed.
It is also understood that the Builders
Exchange has entered several counter
demands, the mat important Of which is
that if the strike is settled the contractors
will be allowed to sell their material TO
whom they chose, and not, as in the past,
be controlled in this regard by the unions.
This has been especially the csse with the
the planning mill men, and az the matter
affected the Carpsniers' Brotherhood 1t
was referred to them, and that body will
no doubt take action tonight and report
such action bsck to the next meeting OF
the Trades Council Several other mat
ters were also disposed of by the Council,
and it adjourned.
A delegate said last evening, at the con-
clusion OF the meeting, that the men were
determined to stand out for the demands
of the stonemssons, and if the other side
was in such decided frame OF mind there
would be poor prospects OF settlement.
1--WE would bs willing to grant the men
the question of wages" said a planning
mill man yesterday, "but we will demand
apd insist that we shall be allowed to
choose to whom We can sell our
material. We consider it only just that
we be allowed to run our OVID
business in that respect and 1 will vote
against a settlement every time on any
other terms. l think en- this point the
other contractors will all stand By u.s."
And so the matter stands. The Build
ers' Exchange will meet as usual this
evening. bu. il is understood that the
Council has sent them no communication,
and cannot until the decision of the LEGAL
unions, to which various matters have
been referred are reported.

To he Editor ofne Register.
Sm:-The folly Of trying to obtain plans
for building without offering proper
tionate compensation for the work per
formed by the competing architects is
again exemplihed by the outcome of Tn e
competition for the new Jail, the archi-
tects' estimates not being reliable because
enough work has not been done on the
drawings 10 enable them 10 arrive at an
accurate conclusion as 10 cost.
Had the commissioners invited such
architects as they wished TO compete and
offered premium of one per cent on the
estimate of the cost for the plan adopted
for all plans, the architects would have
been able TO have secured reliable figures
and would have received prOpOrtionate pay
for their time and trouble. 1t cannot be
expected that work poorly paid for can be
either thoroughly done or reliable
In the form of instructions sent me by
the Board is the following: Each archi-
tect shall mark his plans by private
mark and mail same at Wheeling pOstOifice
0nly not later than Monday April Z, 1890
addressed Clerk OF the Board Of Commits
sioners, Wheeling, w. Va so as TO pre-
vent this Board from knowing whose plans
they are adopting. Each plan 10 have an
approximate estimate of the cost of the
building by the architect marked on same.
Now, an architects approximate estimate
is not intended TO be an exact estimate,
therefore the fact that the architects can
not guarantee the cost should have no bear
ing on the question AZ all And as the
Board did not adopt plan in conformity
with their avowed agreement in their in
structions, in ignorance of the personality
Of the competing architects. in justice 10
