THE GLASS TRADE.

The Eastern Strike settIed-NO Shut Down
Will Occur in the Factories in the
Western DistrIct-Price of Bottles In.
creasing and Trade Good.
The Western flint and green glass manu-
facturers met yesterday morning at the Hotel
Anderson. They were in session about two
hours, and nothing of Importance was done.
In accordance with resolution passed at their
meeting few weeks ago they met to adopt
some measures to aid the Eastern manufacture
ers in their struggle with the men. 1t was
reported at that time that they would close
down the Western factories or extend hnan-
cial aid to the Eastern people. Since that time
the face of things has changed materially and
the struggle has practically ended in favor Of
the blowers. Several Eastern delegates were
expected to be present, but they received a
telegram notifying them Of a settlement in
Baltimore the previous day, and in consequence
no Eastern men arrived, and they adjourned.
They have been holding regular meetings for
some time past with a view to improve the
price of bottles and some attention was given
this question yesterday. The association list
of prices has been Withdrawn, and every manu-
facturer now makes his own special prices.
This was done in order to allow them to take
advantage of the prices of bottles which have
been on the upward move for some weeks
back. There are at present large number OF
glass men in town representing firms from all
sections of the country.
They have samples displayed In the Bissell
Block, the Hotel Anderson and Hotel Schlosser.
AT the latter place the greatest number is con-
gregated, II houses being represented.
In speaking of trade, yesterday Mr.. l. B.
Martin, representing the Fostoria Glass Works,
said that although trade was fair there was
nothing to boast of. Mr.. ]. E. Ellis of the
Findlay Flint Glass Company said: THE con-
dition of the glass trade is better just now than
it has been for years. There are more articles
now made from glass than ever before, and
there is more of it being sold. The reason for
this is that the price is very low, and it is
within the reach of all. Glass is being sold in
smaller quantity because the facilities for
shipping are better, but people are buying
oftener. More and better glass is being pro-
duced and there seems to be demand for still
greater production"

A 100000 JOB.
New Gas Line From Butler County to be
Built 10 Tarenrum for the Plate Glass
COmpany-nInuufacrur Are Not Afraid
of the Supply Failing.

A New Gas Line From Butler County to be
Built TO Tarenrum for the Plate Glass
Observation-Disclosures Are Not Afraid
of the Supply Failing.
The various reports and theories circulated
so frequently of late, about the failure of the
natural gas supply, does not seem to frighten
the manufacturers to any great extent The
Pittsburg Plate Glass Company has just closed
a contract for new line which will convey the
fuel from the new field at Sarversville, Butler
county, to their works at Tarentum. The line
will cost over $780, 900, and will be completed by
March TO- 1t will be used to furnish an addi-
tIonal supply to the Creighton plant 1t is re-
ported that quite lively and interesting COM
petition ensued between Eastern manufacturers
and Pittsburg firm for the contract. r. w.
Carroll. manager of the American Tube and
Iron Company succeeded in securing it, and
will furnish their Matheson patent joint pipe
for the line which is to be l2-inch main, nine
and half miles long.
1t is noteworthy fact that the agitation
about natural gas giving out does not prevent
capitalists and manufacturing concerns from
risking their money to develop new fields and
put in new lines. Upward of $2,000,000 have
been invested in this manner within the last
six months. The Manufacturers Company
spent about $500 900 in putting down their main
to the Bellevernon field. The Equitable Com
the Allegheny river, laid line to the Murrys-
vile field, and have put in 81 600 900 for the de-
velopment of that field. The Butler county
field is the latest, and it promises to be one Of
the best fields of any yet developed
There are two concerns working in that local
ity. Captain Ford has one well down. the
pressure of which is 400 pounds per minute
Several ether wells have been drilled, and their
pressure is such as to render them almost be-
yond control. Captain Ford has run a line
from SarVer through Slate Lick, in Armstrong
county. to Ford City below Kittanning He
expects to get his entire supply for the works
at Ford City from that field, and later he will
be able to supply the Tarentum works also
from the same field. The Standard Plate
Glass Company of Butler is also interested in
the developement of the Butler county terri
tory, and is now getting gas from there for the
operation of the works at that place The
Grapeville, Latrobe and Mt. Morris fields are
fourishing and show no signs of giving out.
Several other large gas lines are talked
about to be laid in Pittsburg and other manu-
factnring points in this vicinity within the next
two or three months, but the persons con-
cerned are not willing to make the details of
the plans known for WHILE Instead of the
capitalists becoming alarmed over the possible
failure of gas as a fuel there seems to be an in
creased activity in the development of the ter
ritories, from which the product is secured,
with apparently equal, if not greater, success
than at any previous time.

NEW ROUTE TO ST. LOUIS.

Railroad Now Under Way Which VIII
Benefit PitTsburE-WIllIam semple, Of
Allegheny, Interested in it-A New Duties
for the PiETsburg and Western.
A telegram was received in this city last
evening from Akron, stating that William
Semple, Of Allegheny, was in that city, con-
ferring with several gentlemen interested in
the proposed PIttsburg, Akron and Western
Railroad 1t is understood that Mr., Semple
and W. B. McCracken, a New York capitalist,
have agreed to furnish the money to build the
new road. Engineers are already engaged and
work will be started as soon as arrangements
are completed.
Mr.. Francis Semple. brothersof William, was
called upon last evening in reference to the
above. He was inclined to be mysterious and
uneommunicatiYe so far as the route or con-
structiOn of the road, or how it would affect
Pittsburg, were concerned. He admitted the
fact that his brother was in Akron on business
of the kind, and that no other person in this
city was interested in it, although others be-
side his brother and Mr.. McCracken were in
Yolved. The railroad was to be built and fur.
ther than that he had nothing to say
The road is already being constructed, and
will be finished inside year. A line runs from
Akron to DelphOs, distance of about $50
miles, about half OF which is narrow gauge. L
Is intended to connect this branch with the
Pittsburg and Western road, and a line run
ming southwest would enable them to reach
st. Louis, thus giving to this city a new trunk
line to that point eventually.

COKE SALES YESTERDAY.
A Conference Arranged for Next Week tC
Consider New Scale.

Conference Arranged for Next Week to
Consider New Scale.
Several coke dealers of this city were seen
yesterday concerning the telegram from Scott
dale, which was published yesterday, stating
that coke sales were increasing and a strike
was imminent. The dealers said that the de-
mand for coke has been good for some time
past, and that the sales have been equal to pro-
duction right along. There has been very little
huctuation IN the market. and no
increase in sales has occurred of late.
Prices have not changed any since last No
vember, and are as good as can be expected.
Many dealers seem to think that the coke trade
could not be in much better shape than at the
present time, while others believe that it could
be still better. At any rate none are found
who are willing to say that the condition of the
business is not good.
The only change in the sales or demand is
that, while shipments toward the East have
fallen off, they have increased toward the
West. Nothing definite is known as to what
will be done about the scale. It is understood
that demand for a higher scale will be made
by the workmen, but what the outcome will be
is hard to say.
A conference meeting between the operators
and men is arranged for next week. but no day
has been selected. 1t will be held in Scottdale.
Mr.. John F. AtchesOn and Mr.. I. ]. Donahue
returned from the West yesterday. They had
been to Chicago. and they report trade as very
brisk in that section.

vania Railroad Company as provided in their
charter, shall thereafter cease and determine.
MODIFIED BY THE TONNAGE ACT.
Section /, of the act for the commutation Of
tonnage duties, approved March z 1851, pro-
vides that if the company pay into the State
treasury on account of its Indebtedness to the
Commonwealth, by reason of the purchase Of
the main line of the public works, on the Slst
days of January and July, in every year, until
the Slst of July, 1890, inclusive, such sum in ad
dition to the interest on its bonds owned by the
State, and in addition to its annual liability to
the State, on account of purchase money for
said line of improvements as will increase each
semi-annual payment on account of said debt
and interest to the sum of $3.50 000 and the ag-
gregate of all such payments to the sum of
Sl3,5 900, and shall agree to pay on the said
3lst of July, 1890 into the treasury the balance
then unpaid of the principal and interest Of
said bonds, etc." the company shall be relieved
of the tonnage tax and "exOnerated, released
and relieved from every lien and liability to the
State on account thereof"
1t will probably be conceded without debate
that if the people want to run the Pennsylvania
Railroad they must put their surplus into the
purchase on terms dictated by the company, as
the right of condemnation is certainly blocked
very e1fectually.

WAS 1T AN ANARCHIST |?
Attempt to Blow Up Father FIeckinger's
House in CHARTERS,

The house of Rev. Father Joseph Fleckinger,
pastor of the German Catholic Church. of
CHARTERS borough, was partially wrecked be-
tween Il and o'clock yesterday morning by
the explosion Of dynamite cartridge that had
been placed in the cellar under the front part
of the building and fired by a fuse ten feet
long. The house is on Lincoln avenue, near
the Panhandle Railway. Father Fleckinger
and the other members of the household were
awakened by the report and the settling of the
building and the explosion was of such force
that had the building been of brick instead of
wood it would doubtless have fallen and
crushed all inside.
Suspicion points to a rough looking man who
called at the priests residence the day
previously shortly after noon and asked for as
sstance.
The people of the borough are not In very
pleasant state of mind as they cannot divine
the object of the miscreant or miscreants,
though it is supposed the animus must have
been against Father Fleckinger alone or some
one in his service. Some charge it to anar-
cbists who are said to exist more or less nu-
merously in the vicinity of Mansfield.

Fun With One.
On Wednesday evening barber named Hen

Chestnut street, caught rat in wire- box trap,
and set it down in the shop while he went to
get his canine executioner. While gone man
who is said to be glass worker, took sharp
steel wire and proceeded to have, what he
called, fun with the rat. The rodents tail was
caught in the trap so that it could not frisk
about and the tOrturer proceeded to enjoy him
self. He first punched its eyes out. one by one
and then began study on refinement in
cruelty.
About this time a bystaDder interfered and
proposed to whip the tOrturer if he did not kill
the rat at once and end its misery. The man
with the steel wire had no stomach for fight
however, and the objeetOr then put the case
nto the hands of Agent Dean.

THE SOUTHERN GONE UP.
Coal Operators Will Now Sell Their Coal
for the Best Price OHered.

AS stated In THE DISPATCH several days ago.
the Pittsburg and Southern Coal Company has
about passed out of existence as an organiza-
tion. Yesterday the company made the last
distribution of the coal on hand, and each in
dividual firm will now sell their own coal to
suit themselves. There is no agreement in re-
gard to prices, and each operator can sell as
low as he sees fit.
The company had 155 boats loaded with coal
on hand. There were about 3,720,0O0 bushels.
worth S327, 800 Great trouble was experienced
dividing this coal among the l3 firms in the
company. but at last an equal distribution was
offices within few days. and the old days of
competition on the river will again be wit
messed.

matter home enterprise, and not throw
cold water on it. There was plenty oi
money here which went abroad because
it could not find any investment here.
The whole bill ought to be passed.
Rep. Rosa said that when the party
was canvassing for votes, one OF its
strongest planks was encouragement OF
railroads. He was greatly surprised
therefore at the position taken by some
of the strongest men OF the party. Mr..
Dillingham; had built the road to Eva
without Government aid. No one doubt
ed that land there had advanced three
times. A friend of his had sold piece
for 500 900 which only cost $4,000 few
years ago. The piece next to it sold for
$4,000. By and by it would be worth
100000. 1t was not consistent for MEM
bers of the National Reform Party to try
to kill this bill. The party was pledged
to support any measure which would
promote the construction of railroads on
this island. In attempting to kill the
bill the party would be violating this
pledge.
Noble Kauhane said the first section
of the bill was not Objectionable.
Noble Marsden moved the committee
rise. Lost.
1t was moved that the committee rise.
Minister Brown moved that the COM
mittee rise and refer the matter to the
House. Carried.
The committee rose and reported and
its report was adopted, and the House
