GREEN AND FLINT BOTTLE WORKERS.

An Alliance Expected TO Take Place Be-
tween Them-PoIicy of the Federation.
1t was hinted yesterday that one of the mat
ters touched upon by glass workers while at
Baltimore was a prospective alliance between
the hollow ware men. The story goes that the
prescription branch of the flints and the green
bottle blowers contemplated forming an organ
ization Independent of, on the one hand, the
American Flint Glass Workers Union. and on
1t is said that a feeling existed
among both classes of bottle blowers
that their interests would be best served by an
organization permitting them to regulate their
own prices. take charge of their own houses.
and, in fact, legislate for themselves generally,
withou. any assistance from the kindred
branches of the trade. The breakaway would
not be as an outcome of any fnharmony among
the f1ints for none exists, but because such an
organization. while affiliated with the original
body, would give Its members better grasp of
their own line of work.
The amalgamation of the green bottle men
with the flint men, would necessarily entail
secession of the former from the Knights of
Labor. This would be result, because the
new body would affiliate with the Federation
of Labor. 1t is claimed that considerable
section of the green glassmen are dissatisfied
with the management of the National Trades
District and that their loyalty to the order of
the knights of Labor was not so strong as to
resist the advantages claimed to be gained by
joining with their brothers of the flint trade,
W. lille stronR COMBINATION OF the accuracy OIL
this story was had, in some well-informed
quarters, Messrs. Smith and Dillon, of the
American Flints, emphatically declare it is
not so.
Green glass blowers are only allowed to work
in flint houses on their becoming members of
the latter's organization, AS body affiliated
with the American Federation of Labor, the
attitude toward the green glass men, who are
Knights of Labor, Is clearly defined. The flint
workers are willing to take into membership
green glass blowers who want to work on flint
ware but they must come singly. On no ac-
count will any number of men from the Knights
of Labor body be taken into the Flint Workers
Union. This negative policy toward the oppos-
the latter keeps its hands off trades unions. If
the Knights of Labor seek to interfere with the
integrity of trades unions 1t is very probable
that the Federation of Labor will declare open
warfare against the knights and seek to draw
within it all the labor bodies it can.

Valued at $4,000.
Within the last ten days three destructive
fires have played havoc with that portion of
Allegheny in the vicinity of River avenue
and Balkham street. Yesterday afternoon
about 4:2O o'clock flames broke from the
large wooden mills of Bradley, Barker & Co.,
located within stones throw of the lumber
yards destroyed by fire last Thursday, and
directly opposite the Porter foundry and Hun
ter's lime works, attacked by fire the previous
Saturday.
Alarms from boxes 81 and 75 brought the
Allegheny Fire Department to the scene. A
wing of the building, ''the old MILL !" was rapid
ly consumed by the flames, and shortly before
O'clock large part of the front wall fell into
the street. Wild cries of alarm arose from the
thousands gathered on the spot when the fall
ing wal h fell upon an extension ladder which
several nremen were climbing
The men had a miraculous escape from
death. Foreman Henry Renzlehausen, of the
Troy Hill Engine Company, had his foot badly
crushed. William Skies sustained slight in
juues on the head. Henry Lights was badly
cut, while George Biechle, of the Columbia
Company, had his arm broken. The injured
men were Immediately taken home.
The fire was not brought under control until
the old mills and the upper part of the new
mill had been badly damaged. The old struc-
lures were three-story brick buildings. valued
at SO, ,0OG each The loss on the boiler house,
which was burned out, is placed at SIS 900.
About $40 00O worth of machinery was ruined,
making the entire loss SCI O00, which Mr.. ]. A.
Bradley said was covered through James w.
Arrott's agency. Included in this loss is great
number of Scott's patent gas regulators, and
the machinery for making them. The Scott
patent is an English one, and Bradley, Barker
4 Co. are the sole agents in this country
Mr. Bradley said last night: "The mills were
closed down in November, 1889, because the
high tariff wool had knocked the profits off
the business and no fire had been used about
them since with the exception of about two
weeks in March. when steam was kept up"
The fire department was prevented from 60
ing to the mill fire at once on account of a
blaze IN a small bell tower on top of the car
penter shop at the Washington street shops of
the Fort Wayne Railroad. The fire did not
amount to anything. and when Chief Jones
heard the alarm from Box 70 strike he Imme-
diately ordered the steamers to 90 to the mill
fire, which WAS extinguished at o'clock. The
cause is a mystery

by Mr.. Bigelow could do no harm. The rise IN

spreading over the entire wharf. III the wall Is

would often be inundated"
Commodore Joseph Walton. when seen, said:
I'VE signed the petition to restrain Chief Blge-
low. think the wharf should be preserved Tor
the purpose for which it was intended"
Other rivermen coincided with Mr.. w Walton's
views, as steamboatmen as a class have been
and are very jealous of any infringements upon
what they deem their rights.
An inspection of the wharf yesterday from
the Sixth street bridge to the Exposition build
ings showed that private firms use the wharf
for other purposes than that for which 1t was
originally intended. An inventory of the con-
glomeration of materials on the ground shows
consignment of hooppoles, scores of lumber
piles, tons of scrap iron, choice selection OF
dilapidated old boilers, piles of old bricks, rub
bish from many sources and miscellaneous
collection of dirt in general, that makes the
warning: "Place no dirt or rubbish here" that
is posted in one place, seem rather facetious
and ridiculous.

S. B. W. GILL, LOST TO SIGHT,

But to Memory Dcar, Will be Resurrected
in Register Shafer's Office on Friday
MIR. shafcr Ready TO settle With Uncle
Sam.
Quite number of people remember S. B.
W. Gill, man who did business about
20 years ago in this city on the same
principle as that of some banks, who secure
large line of deposits by paying large in
terest A lady named Howe run bank in
the East some years ago on the same princi-
pie. Like most ventures of this kind the
result was the same as the Irishman's jump. 1t
was all right, but the stop was painful. Pious
people were Mr.. Gill's dupes. There came
day in the fall of 1877 when he reached the end
Of his tether, but before confding public
could shake hands and say goodby
ten, especially not in Sunday school
circles. Among the victims was the widow of
Rev. DR.. Cooper. Gill having been custodian
of her cash: The latter is supposed to- have
Gill, and Mrs. Cooper went TO Dixmont.
Interest in Mr.. Gill's affairs will be renewed
on next Friday, whan the creditors will have
Office on diamond street, and hear the size of
their dividend. 1t is 81 100, and will be divided
pro rata among the holders of SSI5, 900 proven
creditors will get between and mills on the
dollar: The 81, 100 will be divided subse-
Quently.
This case is further notable as being the last
remnant on Mr.. Shafer's docket When he
gets through with it he will announce the CON-
pletion of his work to Uncle Sam. The bank
rupt law was passed in 1857 and repealed in
1878, except for the purpose of cooking the fish

the present condition OF affairs is making a lit
tie heaven below for scoundrels. Business
men all know it, and lame as was the law of
1867 it was much preferable to the present sys-
tenn of debt collecting, which enables rogues
without any other qualification than impu-
dence and dishonesty to snap their fingers in
the faces of creditors.

REGULATING THE WIRES.

Eight Hundred Volts the Limit of Motive
Power on Electric Roads-The First Re.
ports Received-5ome Lines That Must
be Elevated.
The first reports from the electric street
railways were received by Superintendent
Morris Mead, OF the Bureau of Electricity.
This is in pursuance of an order sent out
last week by Chief j. o. Brown, In which
he called attention to the general ordinance
which gave to the Department of Public
Safety almost unlimited powers in the regu-
lating of the wires, equipments and voltage
of the electric street railways.
Of the four electric railway companies In
in this city two have reported. The Pleas
ant Valley Company, using the Sprague
system, and the Second Avenue line, using
the Thomson Houston system. They each
report a maximum voltage f500 minimum
300 average 400 volts. The Pleasant Valley re-
ports 81 cars in service and the Second Avenue
10. Both lines report machinery and wires in
good condition.
The Boquet street branch of the Pittsburg
traction line, which uses the Thomson Houston
which uses the Daft system, had not reported
last evening.
superintendent Mead said last evening that
the reports of the various companies would be
insisted upon. and in order to ascertain if they
were correct he would make tests with stand
ard volt meter whenever he felt it necessary.
Tests will be made from the headquarters Of
each company and at various points along their
lines at irregular periods, and they will have
no means of knowing when tests are to be
made. The instrument used in testing is the
weston direct reNhing meter, which has been
Standardized and made perfectly accurate and
reliable.
Mr.. Mead said the companies have not been
notlned of the voltage electrical force they
VIII be allowed to carry, SO limit has not been
decided upon yet He thinks 800 volts will be
the limit fixed and Chief Brown is rather of
the same opinion.
Another matter Mr.. Mead has been consider
ing is the wires of various kinds that cross
above the railway trolley wires. In various
parts OF the city telephone, telegraph, district
messenger and electric light wires hang within
foot of the trolley wires wnere they cross, and
in event of the upper WIRE sagging down from
any cause or becoming unfastened, so that the
wires would come in contact, disastrous results
would follow. As soon as Chief Brown gives
his consent Mr.. Mead will order all such COM
panies to elevate their wires sufficiently to pre-
vent any danger of accident from this source.

QUAY TALKS A BIT.
He DOESN'T BELIEVE THERE'S DEMO.
CRATIC DIsAFFEcTION.


Nevertheless, He Looks for the Usual Re.
publican Majorify-His Views on Bills
Pending In Congress-Whar rhe Minority
May Succeed In Doing.
Senator Quay was in the city last night
on his way to Washington after spending q
few days at his home in Beaver, where he
was presumably called as an expert political
doctor to prescribe in the case of the party
in the Twenty-ifth Congressional district,
(which is at present suffering from severe
internal strife. Senator Quay WAS not quite as
reticent as usual, and talked rather freely on
the situation in the district named and in the
State in general. Regarding the trouble in the
Twenty.fifth district he said:
"There. has been some dissatisfaction e4-
pressed over the Congressional mountainous,
but it will doubtless soon be adjusted to the
satisfaction Of all good Republicans in the
district. The talk that the trouble was SO ser1-
Gus as to hurt the State ticket is all folly.
Delamater will have the usual Republican ma
jority. place no confidence in the alleged
disaffectiOn of Wallace Democrats, and that as
consequence many Of them would vote for
Delamater. My experience with our Demo-
cratic friends is that when election day comes
around they forget their differences and vote
the ticket straight. We do not base our claims
for Deamater's majority upon anything so de-
lusive as Democratic disaffection with their
regularly nominated ticket, but upon the fact
that our candidate for Governor will grow in
favor as the campaign progresses. and will
receive the full Republican vote, which means
a big majority"
In regard to measures pending in Congress-
the Senator said: my correspondence with
Republicans throughout this State and the
North in general, is that Republicans are
pretty unanimous IN favoring the passage OF
the Federal election bill. There is, however,
strong opposition to 1t among Republicans OF
the South. The debate on the Mckinley Dill
may be prolonged indefinitely. If the Demo-
Gratis resort to filibustering tactics, the session
may be prolonged until October. By flibus-
tering they can defer the adoption of the
measure for a time but cannot defeat it. Sec
retary Blaine's letter to Senator Frye, on the
subject.of reciprocity with Spain has caused
much comment and will have great weight
when the sugar bounty is considered"

They Inhict Serious Injuries to a Small
Boy and n Young Woman.
John Lowrey a small boy living on Barkham-
mer street. Twentyseventh ward, was painfully
injured yesterday by dog The boy was
playing on the street, when the dog attacked
him. catching him by the leg, which was badly
torn. The wounds were cauterized by DR..
Rahausen.
James McCauley was arrested last night on a
warrant issued by Alderman Bell. charging him
with keeping ferocious dog. McCauley lives
at the corner of Kirkpatrick and Reed streets.
His next door neighbors are Mrs. Elizabeth
Grifiths and her grown daughter. Monday
night about 10 o'clock Miss Griffiths was at
tackled by big black dog belonging to the Nc
Cauleys. She beat the brute off and was going
into the house when, she alleges, Mrs. McCau-
ley came to the door and urged the dog to re-
new the attack, which he did. The brute
seized the girl by the shoulder and bit out
piece of the flesh, lacerating her terribly. Two
physicians cauterized the wound Immediately
and it was found necessary to repeat the opera
tion several times yesterday. The information
was not entered until McCauley refused co
have the dog killed.
