COULD NOT AGREE.

The PIasterers' Strike Will Probably be
Settled by Arbitration.
The crack between the boss and journey
men plasterers widened yesterday by the
former refusing to give employment to the
men who would be thrown idle by refusing
to work for a non-association boss. As q
result the matter will probably have to be
arbitrated, and if it is. President William
Smith, of the American Flint Glass Work
ers' Union, will represent the employees.
AZ the conference yesterday, the associa-
tion bosses were told that the union would
refuse to allow men to work for non-associa-
ton employers, if the 43 association bosses
would give the idle men employment. As
the association represents less than one-half
of the total number Of bosses in the city, the
proposition could not be agreed to. It is
expected that some of the 43 association
employers will allow their men to go to
work Monday. Those who have granted
the advance Of 30 cents per day, it is said,
have more work than they can attend to.
Another meeting will be held Wednesday.
The employees want to arbitrate the matter.

SNAKE STORY OF A PRIEST.
Live Tond Jumps From the Body of {

Live Toad Jumps From the Body of q
Dend Reptile.
Rev. Father Schlosser, c. s. Sp. of the
Catholic College. who is temporarily at St.
Mary's Church, at Sharpsburg, had a sin
gular encounter with a large snake yester-
day afternoon. On his return from o sick
call, he was hastily walking along the path
in the yard of the pastoral residence and at
the lower approach of the stone steps he
saw a monster snake before him, which
did not move. The priest, who was
greatly frightened, would not venture any
further, but stepped back, and with several
stones he even failed to cause the reptile to
move from its position until Charles Bullion
and John Frederick came to his assistance
These two young men were in the reading
room of st. Aloysius' Literary Hall, from
where they witnessed the encounter, and
when they approached, and each armed
with stones, the snake held the fort, where
it was killed.
A singular swelling of portion of the
snakes body caused them to rip it open,
and, much to their surprise, a large toad
hoped forth and made its escape.

ENGLISH MONEY In IT,
But it Will be Secondary in a Big
American Glass Company.
THE REAL STATUS OF THE COMBINE
Westinghouse Strikers Paid, and Ordered to
Take Their Places.
CHIPS FROM THE INDUSTRIAL BLOCK

The supposed sale of all the flint glass
houses to an English syndicate has been a
standing subject to write and talk about for
a year or m ore. From all that has been as
often written and as often denied it would
seem as if there was something in it. An
authoritative statement now comes from
Findlay, O., that throws considerable light
on the matter, and shows that the idea is
nothing more or less than a combination of
all the flint houses under one head with
English capital in it.
The following special was received from
Findlay last night:
''Spea king of the proposed sale OF the flint
glass ia ctories of the United States to an En-
glish syndicate, one of Findlay's leading manu-
facturers in that line. said to The DISPATCH
correspondent this morning:
"The information given you by manufact-
urer few days since regarding the sale Of the
flint glass houses OF the country was exceeding
ly premature, and il he had consulted his own
interest he would never have said word about
the deal which, it is no use denying, is now on;
for, in the first place. no manufacturer can
truthfully say that he has the first payment of
the money iingling in his POCKET, at least,
know of none who are thus fixed on sale.
linen IL lS uOb an English SynQlCaL6 That lS
doing the buying at all. II the sales
are made, each factory will have as
much interest in the new company as
it now possesses in its own business.
In other words, 1t Is more combination of
all the factories of the country into one gigantic
company, having head officers to govern the
whole, the same as some of the window glass
houses which are now joined together and
operated under one management, az the
United Glass Company. Whatever English
eapi.ai goes d inio s;e me :, aea, VIII Dc merely
of capital suficient to enable the enterprise to
be a success. Those who are now managing
the factories in this city will be retained as local
managers for the new company. But then the
new company is not yet formed and it may die
a born1n,' as the publication of the fact that
such thing was contemplated is likely to
scare the men who are at the head of the move
ment from completing their project"

when 1 lived in Peoria, and my sal
ary was even more limited then than
it is now. At Christmas fine I was
anxious to make my wife nice present,
and going into store 1. as usual, began
picking the most costly articles. They were
all too rich for the size of my pocketbook,
and promptly told the clerk hadn't that
much money.
"Just then heard some one laughing be-
hind me, and turning around I recognized
the big, round face of Ingersoll. I asked him
what he was smiling so audibly at, when,
putting his hand on my shoulder and call
ing me by name, he said:
"'Do you know what my idea of hades
is?' No. 1 replied. We'll, it is having
$1,000 ideas on 81 900 salary, he answered.
I agree with Mr.. Ingersoll."
