TIE FARMER COUNCILMAN
Convinced That the Way of the Trans

Il certain councilman whose IDEAS OF
agriculture and horticulture are based

won for him the appellation of ''thc

bic experience yesterday.
1t was an experience he will not soon
forget. It was accompanied by with
ing pains,s death agony, during which
the thoughts many neglected cesspool,
and pond OF stagnant water rose with
majestic lirinness before his mind.
Now the Farmer Councilman' is
decidedly fond of strolling toward the
brewery. Not that he enjoys the cool
draughts OF pure malt for he is Il man
strictly temperate. But he is Il man
who is fond of observations That is a
part OF his business, and yesterday
morning while on an observation tour
in that locality he cast his eyes toward
Il well -cultivatcd garden. Clambering
upont the fence near the street beauti-

tables OF an Cblong shape, 4oolling fresh
and green.
My, what fine cucumbcrs" he ey-
claimed, drawing near and looking
he took oil his specs and looked: he
put them back on his nose and looked
again. Yes, he was sure they were
very fine cucumbers. So he slipped his
hand through the fence and seiZipr tho
best within his reach, pulled it bodily
oil the vino. IL was nearly lunch time
and the knowing sensations of his
stomach prompted him to hurry homo
with the prize. The fine cucumber was
put on ice: the cloth was lain and lunch
was announced.
My dear, said his wife that is no
cucumber. Cucumbers do not grow that
large"
Reckon know what I'm about
Gimme Il knife"
SO the mammoth cucumber was peeled
and sliced in the usual way. 1t did have
odd looking, long seeds, but this was
due to the variety 1t was sailed and
covered with vinegar, and the Farmer
Councilman" ate heartily leaving only
the seeds in the dish.
An hour later came tho agony, pain
and cramps. He called on Heaven to
witness that he did not steal the cucum-
Der, and could not see why he should
suffer thus.
ltwas while the thoughts of neglected
cess-pools and stagnant ponds wore
fast occupying the bewildered mind
that tho doctor came in.
"llerc is what he has been eating,
doctor, said the alarmed wife, point.

What! gourds? Look at them

OF course the doctor know what to dc
for relief, and an hour later the

THE COMING GLASS CITY.
Kensineton Can Now Claim That High
Honor-The Chambers Glass Co. Located

Kensineton Can Now Claim That High
Honor-The Chambers Glass Co. Located
There.
On Monday morning the Chambers Glass
Company will break ground for their enor-
nous lew works at Kensington. Ever
since Mr. Chambers became involved finan-
cially through the Schmertz failure, and his
consequent retirement as an active factor in
the Jeanette glass firm, ne has been on the
lookout for a locality to erect new and
gigantic plant of his own. He didn't have
to look long. The Burrell Improvement
Company has gained the prize, and bids
fair to fulfill all its promises that Kensing-
ton will be one of the greatest glass centers
in the United States.
Forty acres OF land have been granted in
the upper end of the Burrell Improvement,
Company's property, on what Is called the
Stewart farm, on the river side of the rail-
road, it being one of the finest sites in the
whole of Kensington. There will be four
buildings in all, two of 750x150 feet, while
the dimensions for the outside buildings of
the tanks have not been determined upon,
although the specifications and plans Of the
tanks have already been arranged. The
tanks are to be five in number.
The Siemen's regenerative continuous
melting tank furnaces are to be operated.
The five furnaces will be 24x110 feet inside.
Fuel gas will be used. The plan of the
furnaces will be on the same general idea as
those of Jeanette with the improvements
which several years of experience have
suggested. An idea may be CLEANED as to
the great size of the new tanks when it is
stated that they will be 80 per cent larger
than those at Jeanette. The whole works
will employ 1,SOO people, and will have
weekly output of 10000 boxes of window
glass.
But all has not been enumerated. Not
content with bagging such ''big fish" as the
Chambers Glass Company, the Burrell I'm
provement Company have closed con-
tract for the location of one of the largest
bottle plants now in existence in the West.
Already located are the Excelsior Flint
Glass Company, recently of this city, and the
Brownsville plate glass works. The for
mer is building 15-pot furnace and the
latter has almost completed several fur
naces. These works will be in operation
shortly after the LIST of January, 1892.

AGAINST MIXED pR1NKA

A Barkeeper Says the Poorest Liquors Are
Used in Fancy Dccoctions.
"Have Manhattan cocktail?"
ct think I WILL" answered his COM
panion.
'I wouldn't if were you," remarked the
barkeeper.
"why not?" both asked together.
"Well," replied the man behind the
counter, eff you never take mixed drink
you will never be cheated. I have been too
long in the business not to have learned
some of the tricks in the trade. 1t is such
an easy thing, you know, to palm off cheap
liquors under the guise of strong
and spicy favors. You can't fool
man who takes his whisky
straight, but very few know what they are
drinking in cocktail. It is usually cheap
stuff. The fact is most bars are run with
poor and good liquors. The worst is always
used in the mixed drinks. It is quite rea-
sonable, and is such an easy thing to gull
tipplers. Did you ever stop to think how
much whisky is put into cocktail? That
fact alone ought to tell an abservant man
that he is not getting the best"

liquor" said one of the men. $50 will

keeper had converted them.

HAVE TOO MANY LAWS NOW.

John 9. Lambie Says He L Glad the Consti-
tutional Convention Was Defeated
Lawyers Do Not Want Any More
Statutes Satisfied as They Arc.
IF there was only one law in existence, -
said John s. Lambie, ESQ.,, yesterday,
there would be as much controversy and
as much necessity for lawyers as exists to-
day" The remark was the result of dis
cussion of the defeat of the Constitutional
Convention last Thursday among a number
ofgentlemen, Mr.. Lambie being member
of the group. He had expressed his salts
faction at the result, causing one man
present to suggest that all lawyers should
have been in favor of a revision of the Con-
stitution for pecuniary reasons
THAT is great mistake" continued Mr..
Lambie. '"The laws of commonwealth
could not be made too plain and easily unc
derstood. 1t is not the complications of
law that produce the great bulk of law suits,
but the controversion of facts in matters of
dispute. I take it that the great majority
of men are naturally honest. Men don't go
to law because thev are dishonest or be-
cause they think other men disposed to be
dishonest, but because they believe them
selves to be right and the other men to be
wrong.
There are large number of conditions
that would cause one man to form differ
ent opinion as to the right or wrong Of q
case from another man. For instance q
man can be educated to such a point that
his views of commonplace matters are, to
the view of man of less or different kind
of education, distorted and beyond reason.
If the laws were plain-and they could be
much palmer than thev are-it would be
much easier to bring Two such men to-
gether, to adjudicate dispute between
them.
"Of course, not all men are honest, but
most men want to be, so there should be
plain, comprehensive law for the honest as
we'll as the dishonest man. We have that,
and more than enough of it now, and few
lawyers, not interested in some matter,
either political or financial, which would
be affected by revision of the Constitution.
That is my view of the matter, gentlemen, !"
concluded Mr.. Lambie, as he walked away.

POSTPONED TILL SPRING.

No Through Passenger Service on the B. &
O. to Chicago for Some Time to Come.
The winter schedule on the Baltimore
and Ohio road will go into effect next Sun
dsv. The only thing the officials regret is
that the Pittsburg and Western and the
Akron branch were not in shape to run q
through train service from New York via
this city to Chicago However, this much
desired boon is promised for next spring.
In the meantime passenger depot will be
built at Laughlins' station, and arrange
ments will be made to connect with all the
trains going either way. The company has
decided to put on new vestibule trains to
run to Chicago as soon as the new line is
ready.
In the new schedule the time has been
shortened to Washington. A fast train will
leave at 8 A. M. instead of S:15, making the
trip to the capital in 8 hours and 40 min
utes. This train is also intended to accom-
modate the Connellsville and Uniontown
people. A new train will be put on for
Cumberland, leaving here at $50 A. NJ,
stopping at most of the stations. This train
will return at 9:25 in the evening. The
time will be shortened five minutes to
Wheeling by the 4 P. M. train. The Union
town express, leaving at P. NJ, will make
fewer stops

INSPECTING TIN PLATE PLaNs
Manufacturers Now Having a Sly joke on
the Campaign Liar.


the Campaign Liar.
II suppose we ought to quit making tin
plate now that the Ohio election is over, ="
said W. F. Cronemeyer with broad grin
at the Monongahels House yesterday.
"You know the Democrats said We were
turning out small quantities to help Nc
Kinley, and after the contest was decided,
that would be the last the country would
hear of tin plate. Well, we propose to sur
prise our Democratic friends and continue
in tho business We have invested too
much money not to be in earnest, and it is
only question of time until the industry
will be on a firm foundation in America. {"
J.W. Britain, of Cleveland President of
the Tin Plate Association, was in the city
yesterday on a tour of inspection to see
what the local plants are doing He has
finished his tin house in the Forest City, and
is now making white plates. His son was
so proud that he drove the first wagon load
of plates to the wholesaler Mr. Britain
says 1t is useless for the Democrats to insist
any longer that tin plate cannot be pro-
duced in this country.
w. III. Cockey, a New York tin plate
manufacturer, was also at the Monongahela
House yesterday. He states that no great
amount of money will be invested in the
business until after the Presidential cleo
tion. Capitalists know If the Democrats
capture the country they will smash the
tariff, and this would kill the business He
thinks the American article is superior in
quality to the Welsh, but is not quite SO
smooth. New and improved machinery
will help the Yankees
