GETTING IN SHAPE.
The United States Glass Company
Will Be Ready for the Next Fire.
PROPERTIES ARE APPRAISED.
Flint Bottle Manufacturers Want an Early
Shutdown This Year.


The American Flint Glass Company has
beginning of the next fire.
A meeting of those interested in the new
corporation was held IN this city yesterday
and the plans as they have progressed SO far
were discussed. Various committees have
been at work for six weeks getting matters
in shape. The preliminary arrangements
have proven more tedious than was expected
they would be and the work is therefore
progressing rather slowly.
A number of committees were rent out in
different directions for the purpose of ap-
pralsing the properties to be purchased by
the new company. In connection with max
ing the appraisements, these committees made
an examination of the character and amount of
business done by each firm interested during
the year, and the result of many of these exam
nations were reported to yesterdays meeting.
They showed the factories to be in excellent
condition and altogether satisfactory to the in
vestors.
In few Gays other committees will be sent
out to examine the titles to the properties in
volved. 1t is intended to purchase the factories
outright and it is desired to make sure of the
weeks additional work, and it is thought it
would be impossible to get the concern in shape
to begin operations before the latter part of
June, and for that reason it was thought best
not to make the effort until the next fire.
BY that time everything can be completed.
Headquarters will have been established; the
officers will have assumed the responsibilities
OF their offices, and the company Will be In
shape to begin with the next fire.
The threatened raise in prices and curtail-
ment of production about which so much talk
has been indulged in. as an alleged result of
the formation of the United States Glass Com
pany, has not yet materIalized; nor is likely to
in any manner disturb matters during the con-
tinuance or the present blast. Glass is moving
fairly WELL and the factories are kept busy,
though there is some accumulation of stocks.
A number of members, among them d. c.
Ripley, who have been down through the East,
came home yesterday in time to attend the
meeting. They were on an appraising tour and
found the factories in that section of the
country in good shape.

VALLEY MEN NOT THREATENED.

Superintendent McCargo Says He Never In
terferes in Religion or Politics.
Superintendent David McCargo, of the ALE
gheny Valley road, remarked yesterday that
his company did not interfere with the politics
or religion of it's employees.
"The statements made" he continued, "that
we threatened some Of our men at Verona with
discharge who had signed petition to repeal
the local option law Is not true. TIE
facts are these: When read that such an ef-
fort was being made found that some of my
men had signed the petition, and. under the
gwen an opportunity to right themselves.
My policy with regard to drunkenness is no
secret, and is well known. No man who drinks
will be employed by the road. Ii an engineer
should get drunk and wreck train,
and I knew he was drinking man:
for culpable negligence. Now we don't want
liquors sold at Verona. One of the proposed
saloons is across from our depot. The COM
pany owns 70 acres of ground in the town. and
the shops employing several hundred men are
located there 1t is plain to be seen why we
man will be discharged for signing petition.
Such a man, however, would consider as not
working for the best interests of the company.
n Nobody has been threatened, but if one of my
men gets drunk he will have 10 60"
The chief clerk to superintendent Price, OF
the road, said there was no intention to have
through trainmen in Oil City move here, and
he couldn't see how the report originated. 1t
has been Mr.. Prices policy not to encourage
the men to invest in real estate in the town for
the reason that IN time they might have to come
Pittsburg to live He added that the Valley
road didn't have so families dependent on it in
Oil City. The number of road employees living
thero is much smaller.

COKE BECOMING SCARCE.

Cast Iron Pipe Men May Be Compelled to
Use Coal in the Cupolas.
The Association of Cast Ironpipe and Fitting
Apparatus Makers met at the Anderson yester-
day. 1t was special meeting called to discuss
the situation brought about by the depression
in the iron market and the coke strike. Eight
teen representatives of firms East and West
were present. 1t is mainly Western Organza-
ton, though Eastern men belong to 1t. A L.
SWEET, of Medina, N. Y, is President and W.
T. Doyle, of Milwaukee. Secretary
Mr.. Doyle stated that the prevailing prices,
discounts ard classifcations were reaffrmed.
He claimed th at the price had been put down
to such an extent that little cutting was done,
but sometimes the jobbers got angry when the
makers sold direct to plumbers and consumers.
Continuing he said: ''The manufacturers
usually have enough coke on hand to keep
their works going for six to eight weeks in case
of strike. Another meeting will be held here
in six weeks to see if there is any change i'll the
coke situation. If the strike continues much
longer we will be compelled TO use coal, as we
did in the old days, or shut down. The change,
of course, would make difference, and some
joint figuring would be necessary before
we could tell where we stood.
We also anticipate general strikes for eight
hours this summer in Chicago. at least. and as
our business is mainly with the building trade
we must take precautions to protect our
selves"
AS the cheap Southern iron will make fair
cast iron pipe the manufacturers have been
encouraging the iron men in the South. 1t is
apparent the coke strike is already beginning
to affect other industries ana mills will be shut
down unless work is soon resumed. In this
assertion the trade is pretty evenly divided on
a territorial basis. and in this section a manu-
facturer is allowed to do as he pleases. The
price list is elastic enough to accommodate his
business.

LOOKING FOR LIEUTENANTS.

Some of the Allegheny Appointments Ex-
pected Next Week-Chief Armstrong
VIII Turn His Back on Po1itics-Major
Hunker After the Poor Farm.
The new chiefs in Allegheny are hard at
work outlining the work OF their various
departments. There are but few applica-
tions in so far for Superintendents of Bu-
reaus, but large number of people are float
applications. President Hunter says he has
been wakened at all houis of the night by ap-
plicants who are anxious for his support.
Chief Armstrong OF the Department of Pub.
lie Works. says he will not make his appoint
ments until the last week of the month. He
will not act on any applications that are not
presented to him formally in writing and it is
understood the other chiefs will observe the
same ceremonies and even the people now
siders to retain their places. Chief Armstrong
also states that in the appointments in his de-
partment only fitness will be recommended
tion and he will pay no attention to politics
The other chiefs have SO far been silent on this
subject they also are as to the persons who
have applied to them for places. They say they
prefer to make their selections without The
assistance of the public.
Chief Grubbs has taken up temporary quar-
ters in Chief Armstrong; office. He said there
were but few applications III for any of the
places he has within his gift He expects to
announce the names of the applicants on Satur-
day. and will make his appointments the be-
ginning Of next week. One of the applicants
for the position of Superintendent of the Poor
Farm is Major Hunker. 1t is understood that
Superintendent Rolshouse does not intend to
make another application.

EBENEzER ms AND OUTS.
Still Having Discussion as to Who Won in
the Church Fight.

the Church Fight.
If the "ins" of the Ebenezer Baptist Church,
colored, Colwell and Milton streets. think that
the granting of the charter to them by Judge
Collier makes them solidly in possession. they
certainly reckon without taking into considera-
tion the views of the 'outs." Isaac Morton.
one of the latter, states that the granting Of
the charter does not reach the issue at all. He
says, he did not expect the Court to take cog
nizgance of the theological controversy, as he
says the Baptist Association must be allowed to
be supreme in this respect. and the charter
merely gives the grantees power to carry on the
church as a regular Baptist Church" and
this he says the association, the regularly con-
stftuted tribunal, has decided that the '1ns"
are not dong the Sustentation Society having
decided the controversy in favor OF the outs"
Mr.. Morton states that Rev. Pryor ana his
followers must now conduct the church ac-
cording to denominational standards, Tor that
is all their charter empowers them to do. If
they do, he says that they will be forced to
undo all that his party have demanded OF them.
and that will be their undoing.
Accordingly his party claim that they are
still on top, when they spend their money to
esta blish a church 1t is for the purpose OF wor-
Shipping God according to the dictates OF their
own conscience. and in this the Constitution of
the United States guarantees their position.
He argues that all kinds of people with ring
streaked. striped, speckled and grizzled theo-
logical views cannot dub themselves Regular
band of Mormons or Mussemen might do, and
he says the variegated religious views OF Rev.
Pryor and his following will match the shades
of Jacobs live stock.

FLINT BOTTLE MEN MEET.

An Early Shut Down to Continue Three

Membership.
The regular monthly meeting of the West
ern Flint Bottle Association was held yes

association includes 95 per cent of all flint

The question of the summer stop was the
most important one. 1t was proposed to close
down June l. instead of July !. as is customary.
and to remain closed three months instead Of
two. This would hold up prices in measure
and defeat the effort OF the Western jobbers.
who have been endeavoring to break up the
manufacturers organization.
1t was reported that four firms in the West
had gotten into the clutches of the jobbers, and
an effort is to be made to secure them for men,
bers. They are weak concerns and have not
been able to run very long without disposing, of
stock to make up pay rolls. As consequences
the Jobbers have dictated prices to them. 1t is
necessary for the members of the association
to stick together in order to preserve prices.
All materials used in the manufacture of their
goods are controlled by combinations. For
instance: prior to August last. to make 100000
worth of glass it would cost S4 600 for soda ash.
The material for the same amount of stock
now costs 81, 900 and all other materials cost
the same in proportion.
Some changes were made in the officials. +.
j. Parke. who was secretary. was made treas
urer, and H. w. McCafferty was elected
actuary and will have charge of local head
quarters to be established here.
