FLINT GLASS WORKERS.
Changes Proposed In the Length OF the
Summer Vacation-Other Matters.
ISDcf1i TsisOrQn 10 The PsOist<r

Spctal Telegram 10 the Register,
STEUBENvILLE, o., July 10.-In the
Glass Workers convention to-day, IL
was recommended by Mr.. CASTOR, OF
the Peace Committee. that the number
OF articles to be made on turn be
slightly reduced with view to making
the amount OF labor required on differ
ent articles about equal for turn.
One change, however, was recommend
ed which is important, namely that the
length OF the summer vacation be re-
duced from six 10 two weeks. All
went well with the reading OF the re-
port until this clause was read, when
dozen delegates rose to point OF order,
declaring that this recommendation was
I'm the nature az an amendment 10 the
constitution and should have been sent
to the national officers. Two Pittsburg
local unions, one a chimney factory and
the other tableware factory, have in
troduced resolution TO increase the
time OF stoppago from six TO eight
weeks. The eastern delegates are In
favor OF cutting the stopping time down,
and the western delegates are in favor
OF increasing 1t to eight weeks. so that
pretty fight will take place on the
question when the time for action by
the convention comes.
The report of the Engraving Commit
tee was adopted, no changes having
been made.
The Prescription Committee recon-
mend the adoption OF Saturday half
holiday.
The bottle works OF Rochester, Pr,
was declared non-nnion for running
during the summer stop.
The mould makers committee recon-
mended the adoption OF iifty-fye hours
for weeks work, instead OF ffty-eight,
and double pay for holidays.
Levi p. Ragan has arrived In town.
He is here is the interest OK the pack
ers, and IL he cannot secure admission
for his constituents TO the Flint he will
endeayor to have them refuse 10 make
any glass TO be packed by non-union
packers.
The mold-makers request was the
subject OF considerable discussion but
the request OF the committee prepared
by Mr.. Ham Burtt adopted with slight
amendments.
II is now thought that the convention
will be compelled 10 remain in session
for longer period than at first sntici-

less than $4,000, coo acres or somewhat
smaller than the area actually planted
last year. In the the Ohio and Upper

the highest reported since 1879 with one
exception. Averages Of the principal
States are: Pennsylvania IS, Ohio o.,

sDsciaI TELEGRAM to the REGISTER.
HUNTINGTON, w. Va, July 10.-The
Dnilu Advertiser publishes this evening
a long detailed and highly sensational
account of the murder Of an infant child
near Barboursville, this county, the vic
tim of the infantlcide being the one year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Creamens.
The mother left the child sleeping
to 90 on an errand to neighbours. She
was absent but few minutes, and
great was her horror on returning to
find her little daughter murdered in
cold blood. On entering the house she
saw her child lying upon the hearth
covered with ashes, and blood oozing
from its mouth. It's head had
been crushed and its neck broken,
and it had been rolled in ashes, pre-
sumably to stop the flow Of blood. Sus-
picion points to Cynthia Adkins, a
single woman, thirty years of age, who,
il seems. has had a grudge against the
family.
1t is reported she said she would get
even with the family, and she was seen
TO leave the house shortly after the
murder occurred.
She had been employed i'll the
Adkins family IS domestic until
recently, but few days ago she had
trouble with Mrs. Cremeans and left. 80
strongly was the feeling against the
woman that there was talk of Habbing
her. but the grlef-stricken mother dis
suaded the men from violence, arguing
that two wrongs would not make a
right.
Another version OF the MUIR
der is that Cremeans muir
dered the child himself. IL
is said that he has always questioned
the paternity OF the child, never being
fully satisfied that he was its father,and
that he had been known to threaten It's
life. The report states that CremeanS
was at work in field when the murder
occurred, and the Advertiser discredltS
this version of the tragedy. Oihcers
are at work upon the case and arrests
will probably follow soon.

AN AWFUL TRAGEDY.
Husband, -Mother suu -FOUR Children
Found Dead In Their Home.


ELLIS, NEB., July 1o.-Some time
during last night the most terrible
tragedy ever enacted in Gage county or
this section of Nebraska occurred. About
4 o'clock this afternoon. Mrs. Dr.
Allen, of Beatrice, came to Ellis
on visit to her brother, John II.
Puterbaugh, who lived mile and
half south OF town. No one answering
her knock an investigation was made.
Puterbaugh lay dead on the floor. The
mother lay in bed with bullet through
her head. In bed with her was two
year-old baby, also shot through the
head. On lounge in the room lay a
lad of 10 years dead, shot through the
head. In the room above was another
bed occupied by two young girls, one
10 and one Is, both dead, with bullet
holes in their heads. The dead were
Puterbaugh, his wife and four children.
How they met their terrible fate is as
yet unknown. The general belief is
that the terrible deed was the work of
the husband and father. The motive is
unknown, as he was a peaceable man in
comfortable circumstances, and it Is be-
lieved that no trouble existed in the
family. Under Puterbaugh's arm lay
3S-caliber, Six-chamber revolver, with
all the chambers empty. All his vic
Tins seemed to have been killed while
sleeping, as there were no signs of a
struggle.

A Pennsylvania FEUD
That Outclasscs Some OF the Traditional
yendettas of West Virginia.


vendettas of West Virginia.
ERIE, PA, July 10.-EdInboro, the
seat OF the Edinboro State Normal
school, is the scene OF great excitement
tonight. News has just been received
of bloody battle between the Sweets
and Cobb families on the one side and
the Andersons and McGahans on the
other. Officers havo been out to-day
serving warrants, and it is thought the
vendetta may not be carried further
unless friends of the families meet.
A few months ago Frank Anderson
was arrested at the instance OF Chas.
+. SWEET, and tried for tho larceny or
some articles, but the prosecution
failed. Since then an open warfare
has prevailed between the SWEETS and
Andersons, and Swett's sheep ana
cattle have been indiscr.minately shot
and manned. Warrants were sworn
out and the Erie officers started TO ar
rest the Andersons. Meanwhile Frank
SWEET and Chas. Wills Cobb moved
across the Anderson domain last night,
and the AnGersons, Frank, Delos, and
Resell, and Ransom McGahan,
another ncIghbor. opened fire. The lire
was returned and the contest was carried
on at long range for some tlne., Inc
Andersons charged the enemy and
Frank Anderson fell, shot through the
breast. After the ammunition was cxs
pended, fists, knives and clubs were
brought into requis!tIon. When tho
Erie officers reached the sanguinary
field, they found Cobb with his throat
slashed from ear TO ear, but not deep
enough to reach the jugular. All the
parties were injured, but Frank Ander-
son was the only one whose recovery Is
in doubt. All the parties TO the feud are
under arrest aud will be arraigned on
charges OF shooting with intent to kill
tomorrow evening In Edinboro.

An Inrenlou. Libel on Eugene Field.

An Ingenious Libel ON Eugene Field.
Back in the dark ages, when Chica-
go's one professional humorist was
nothing but an everyday "funny man, Z"
when his flights of wit were knocked
out by the cold and unappreciative
night editor of the Kansas City Times,
there happened little incident which
showed that the wit itself was more
sharp than fiat In those days he wasn't
writing agate humor aud drawing bour-
geois pay. The necessities of life, in
cluding fair allowance of cups which
both cheer and inebriate, consumed
rather more than his weekly stipend.
And thus it happened that there came a
time when the sprightly journalist al
ways turned to the right on leaving the
Times office, because on the left was a
saloon, behind the bar of which hung a
slate covered with terrifying figures. At
last, however, coaxed by his comrades,
the funny mar" reentered his former
haunt No sooner was he within the
door than mine host made for him. The
horrid slate was produced The pallid
humorist tried to ward off impending
doom with joke, but Gambrinus was
firm.
My poy, said he, ~you vos a funny
fellow. When you come to my place
der poys come NIT you'll likes to have
you here. You can't pay tllis2 Veil, T"
and with magnificent gesture he swept
the slate clean. Now we vas square.
You come effery night now.
It was then that the true greatness Of
the humorist's mind asserted itself. Not
at all dazed by his good fortune he
strobe proudly to tile bar, waving his
followers to follow him.
@Well, Dutchy, said he imperiously.
~VellP" responded the wondering
host.
