Tuesday Night.
There was a lively and protracted
session of the bricklayers' organization,
Tuesday night, the meeting not adjourn
ing until about a quarter after eleven
o'clock. The chief business before the
body was charges preferred by Lodge
No. 9, of BelIaire, against a half-dozen
members of the Wheeling Lodge, the
Ohio people setting up the claim that
Wheeling men had worked irregularly In
aglass house on the Ohio side OF the river,
not having deposited their cards with
the organization In Belmont county.
Charges were preferred against the
Wheeling men, and committee came
up from Bellaire to prosecute the mat
ter. The efforts of the Ohio men 10
convict their West Virginia brethren OF
a violation of the rules was failure,
and so the matter rests.

talked about among workmen In the

paper says: Salaries must be cut down
and a number of employees dropped II
the National Worlds Fair Commission
Is to avoid a big deficiency at the close
OF the fiscal year, ending June 50th,
1892. The estimates already prepared
show an apparent deficiency Of sea, $40.
The total amount available for the uses
OF the Commission and its officers is
$4,000. At present the Commission
Is spending the money at the rate OF
$50, 740 per annum. The only solution
OF the troublesome question seems to
be to reduce the working force and cut
down salaries Of the remaining en-
ployes.

Yesterdays Pittsburg Dispatch, in
commenting on the price OF builders
hardware, said:
"PrIces, which we're thought to be at
the bottom a year ago, are shade
lower than then. 1t is doubtful II In
the entire history OF the nail trade
Drices have been as low as they are this
summer. The jobbing price OF cut
nails is SITS per keg, and wire nails
s2.1O. At S1.75 per keg it is difficult to
see where there is any profit to the
manufacturer. The Wheeling nail
mills are furnishing stock TO joooers on
a basis Of S1.55 per key. The steel
which enters into keg OF nails Is
worth 81. IS and the cost OF cutting into
nails, packing, ETC., is fully so cents per
keQ. so that there is more profit In sell
ing the steel than there is in working IL
mn into nails. In face Of this depres-
sion in the trade one Of the Wheeling
mills has recently increased its capacity
20 / 900. 600 kegs 3 year, capacity be-
vond that Of any plant in this or any
other country"

The question of what is to be done
with the police patrol wagon is becom-
ing a serious one. The livery stable
men decline to keep it after this week,
and there seems to be no place near the
City Hall, where It can be stored. The
Fire Committee had arranged to keep
II at the Atlantic Engine house, after
the repairs and i'm proevments In con-
temptations were made, but the amount
of the bids-over .600-precludd the
idea OF carrying out the work soon, as
the Fire Committee has but $500 avail
able. Another bidder is figuring on the
plans, and there may be reduction.
