WILL REMOVE THEIR WORKS.
The Fort Pitt Glass HOuse to be Transferred
to Jeanette.

The Fort Pitt Glass House to be Transferred
to Jeanette.
Several months since it was announced in
The DISPATCH that the Fort Pitt Glass
Works would be removed to Jeanette. AT
the time the report was denied by members
of the firm.
1t now transpires that the announcement
was true in point of fact inasmuch as
Messrs. Zimmerman & Blair, proprietors of
the works in question, were in Jeanette
during the past week and consummated ar
rangements for removal to that place. A
deal with the North Jeanette Land and
Improvement Company has been negotiated,
by which consideration in the shape of
land has been conceded them on which will
be erected 25 dwelling houses and plant,
in which white, open colored ware and their
other specialties in table and ornamental
ware will be manufactured.

AN OLD PITTSBURGER.

Commander Read Opposed TO Issuing Indis-
criminnfe Pensions.
DR.. Joseph S. Read. the National Com
mander of the Union Veteran Legion, has
been visiting friends in Allegheny for sew
eral days. The doctor returned to his home
in St. Louis last night. He is we'll known
in Pittsburg, his father being DR.. J. L.
Read, who was killed in the Wiley build
ing disaster.
"The Union Veteran Legion" he said,
"is opposed to the indiscriminate issuing of
pensions The only ground on which pen
sion should be based is actual wounds re-
ceived in the service, and not diseases con-
tracted since the war is over, or while it was
in progress.

THE LIBRARY QUESTION.
A Meeting of the Commission to be Held
Next Week With MIR. CnrneRie.

Meeting Of the Commission to be Held
Next Week With MIR. Carnegie.
A call has been issued for meeting of
the Library Commission to take place in
Select Council chamber on Wednesday next
at P. NJ, to take the preliminary steps in
determining on a site for the main library
and other particulars connected with the
foundation of Pittsburg's greatest gilt.
1t is confidently expected that Andrew
Carnegie will himself be present at the con-
sultation, and although he has expressed
himself as declining to give preference as
to location, it is thought that the action of
the commission will greatly influence Mr..
Carnegie in the question of increasing the
donation sufficiently to pay for the site in
addition to the endowment already
Dromised.

MAKING THE WIRES SAFE.
A Little Contrivance Designed to Save u
Great Many Lives.

Little Contrivance Designed to Save u
Great Many Lives.
No more deaths or serious accidents are
expected from the crossing of dead wires
with those of high voltage uninsulated wires
which are used in the transmission of current
for the motive power of street railway cars
in this city. The street railway companies
are adopting recent invention which, the
instant the dead wire comes in contact with
the heavily charged wire gives an alarm at
the power house and cuts the current until
the dead wire is removed.
The wonderful little piece of mechanicism
is termed by electricians 'cut-out," and
consists of piece OF fiat lead, cut heavy
enough to resist the voltage or ampere re-
sistance, and the moment the lines become
short-circuited this lead fuses and breaks
the circuit, thereby rendering the highly
charged wires absolutely safe as far as the
current is concerned.

PUSHING THE WORK.
Mr.. Tyler Says His Washington Mill Will be
Finished April 1.

Finished April i.
Mr.. W. P. Tyler, the late Boston pipe
manufacturer, who is locating in Western
Pennsylvania, now registers mis- address as
Washington, Pa. He was at the Duquesne
last night. Mr.. Tyler said that he had sold
all the pipes he had made, and he expects
to start his new works at Washington April
1. They are already under roof, and the
machinery is being put into position.
Mr.. Tyler has been through the Mahoning
and Shenango valleys, looking uD skelp iron.
Most of this iron is made east of the mount
aims, but he found some men who were will
ing to produce it. He reports business as
dull in the valleys. People about Warren
and Youngstown, he said, asked him why
he ignored such good railroad towns and
preferred Washington. Mr.. Tyler said he
replied that Washington had the railroads
and the gas, and the latter was what Youngs-
town and Warren didn't have.

Operators Are Leasing Land and Building
Coke Ovens.
Mr.. J. NJ. st. Clair, of Homer City, is at
the Seventh Avenue Hotel. Mr.. st. Clair
says the coal lands of Indiana county will
soon be developed in satisfactory man ner.
The Pennsylvania road is ramifying the
county with small branch roads, and con-
Meeting them into one system. The coal
makes good coke, and j. W. Moore, of
Greensburg, and j. NJ. Guthrie, of Indiana,
are going into the business on an extensive
scale.
Mr.. Moore recently leased 800 acres of
land, and secured an option on 1900 more,
some of which he has thrown up. Mr..
Moore is now building 200 coke ovens.
Mr.. Guthrie has bought outright 1900
acres of land, and has leased 800, thus con-
trolling 1000 acres. The Indiana people
think they will some day rival the Connells-
vile region in the production of coke. Mr..
Guthrie is building so ovens.
