went to Findlay. o.. and to other points in the
West. 1t was said that those who came here
were to work for Macbeth & Co.. on the South
side, but that firm gave out tha5 they did not
intend TO make bulbs at their factory. Whether
Macbeth & Co. were Influenced by the Corning
firms threat or not is not known, but it IS
known that men who lad gone to work else
where have since been dismissed.
There are vet three men in Pittsburg who
came from Corning, and it was reported yes
terday that q representative of the firm was
here trying to learn where the men were work
ing. One of the men is under age. and his

TELEPHONES IN DEMAND.
Mr.. Metzger Thinks the Heat From Mills
Prevents Snow Storms.

Prevents Snow Storms.
Superintendent; Harry Metzger, Of the local
telephone company. went to New York last
evening. He says the use of the telephone is
constantly increasing in Pittsburg. There is a
good reason for it. The business of the city is
widely scattered Mills and offices are located
along tho rivers, and IN many cases they are
separated. Mr.. Metzger says business people
tind it more convenient and cheaper to put IN
telephone than to be without it. He
claims the time is not far hence when the long
distance telephone will be perfected. MIR.
Metzaer does not believe that tie telephone
will replace the telegraph. The difference in
the rates is bound to be great, and while man
is trying to talk to distant person he could
send so kilograms.
Turning to the subject of the weather. he
said: II can remember when l was a boy that
we had plenty of snow and sleighing in Pitts
burg, and have often noticed in later years
that few miles out of the city the ground is
covered. while there is scarcely fake here.
think that the rising heat from all the mills
and furnaces in Pittsburg modIhes the atmos-
phere and prevents the moisture from coming
down in the form of snow. We haven't had
good snow for dozen years."

The Complaint OF Moon township FARMERS
Who Own Oil Land.
There is widespread dissatisfaction among the
farmers of Moon township south of Stops
Ferry. According to the story told, they have
nearly all leased their farms to E. c. Beardsley
and the Hazelwood Oil Company. and have
just awakened to the fact, rs alleged, that they
are SO far as they can see. hopelessly tied, hand
and foot for ten years, and cannot get their
land developed except by the grace of the les
sees. 1t IS said that the leases were signed
under a misapprehension. the lessons thinking
that development was to follow very soon, but
they now find that the lessees can hold the
property for ten years by paying 81 an acre
year rental.
Whether well founded or not an impression
prevails that the leSsees are holding the leases
OF speculative account. and visions of sudden
wealth on the part of the landholders have
proven a mirage. The names of some of the
