Gen. Ordway gave Private Van Fleet a very

TEN PER CENT LESS WAGES

Is What Green Bottle Makers Have Notified
Their Men They Will Ask.
A number of delegates to the Steuben-
vile Flint Glass Workers Convention re-
turned last night ON the eastern express.
The proceedings terminated yesterday at
$3.50 o'clock. The convention found the
business of the order in first-class condition.
No action was taken regarding the affilia-
tion of the green glass workers with the
fints No application from them was re-
ceived. The fact has been overlooked that
the Green Vial and Flint Bottle Manufac-
turers' Association at its late meeting in
New York resolved upon course of action
which may engender conflict between the
employers and owners before work is re-
sumed. The manufacturers have notified
the men of a reduction in wages of 10 per
cent and of their intention to employ two
apprentices to every ten blowers in lieu of
one to every Is as now. The green glass
men having withdrawn from the knights of
Labor, their next step, it is assumed, will
be to affiliate with the fints, and the hints
may have something to say to the matter of
a reduction in wages.
President Smith, Secretary Dillon, Vice
President W. d. Dooling, James Finn, of
the Executive Committee, and other local
delegates arrived home last night. They
said the shutdown will continue for eight
weeks. AS predicted in THE DISPATCH
previous to the convention, the packers were
refused admission to the session.

A NET FOR STRAY DOGS.

Capturing Unlicensed CANNES.
The system of dog catching has been fully
decided upon by Superintendent Gamble
Weir, of the Police Bureau. He has
adopted the system in use in Philadelphia,
where the Humane Society takes charge of
the dogs captured and kills those not re-
claimed Under this system each dog
catcher is supplied with net woven of
strong cotton cords and attached to an iron
hoop with handle. The net is about Az
feet deep and bell shaped. When dog is
to be captured the catcher gets within
throwing distance and throws the net
over him. He then quickly upsets
the net and the dog is in tthe bottom, hope
lessly entangled and ready for the cage on q
wagon accompanying the catcher.
One wagon has been furnished with a
cage, capable Of holding from 20 to so dogs.
1t will probably be sufficient for all re-
quirements As soon as the wagon is filled
it will make a trip to the pound and re-
turn empty for more victims 1t has been
decided that next Monday and Tuesday will
be devoted by the dog catchers to gathering
up dogs whose owners do not care to pay
tor licenses and would rather have the
brutes put out OF the way. The police are
instructed to report all such to the various
station houses tomorrow and on Monday
the wagon will 20 around and gather them
in.
Il is the intention, after the first few
days, for each of the .police,districts to
have a separate dav in each week for dog
catching This will simplify the work. OF

TURNED UP ITS TOES.
Another Cooperative Store Ends Its
Mission of Usefulness.
NOTHING WHITFIELD TO A POINT.
Stockholders Trusted to the Full Amount
Of Their Holdings.
THE GHOST WAS GIVEN UP GRACEFULLY

The colored co-operationists who started a
store on Wylie avenue, below Fulton
street, two years ago, have wound up their
business, as most cooperative institutions
do. 1t hasn't exactly been success, but it
came out better than ordinarily There
was something unique about the method of
doing business. Like the farmer that Lin
coin told of, who, when he failed to blow
out q stump, dig it out or burn it, con-
cluded to pillow around it, the colored mer-
chants adopted a device of their own
to get around the legal restrictions
that guard such enterprises The
law does not allow such concerns to give
credit, nor are people authorized to trust
them, though the penalty for violation on
the part of the foreign creditor is that he
cannot secure the aid of the law in collect
ing his debt
Scheme to Get Around the Law.
somewhat in debt, but it trusted its stock
holders with goods. The first gave no spe-
cial trouble, as the creditor might whistle
for his pay if the stockholders did not come
to the center, but the landlord, who was to
get S75 month rent, could avail himself of
landlords warrant
Well, it seems that the company found it
could not do a cash business with its stock
holders, and the cash returns from outsiders
were not sufficient to keep up the
stock, so an expedient was devised,
1t was decided to trust stockholders to the
amount of their stock, and for time busi-
ness doomed to such an extent that the
statesmen, with fevered brows and aching
muscles, and articulations and other physi-
cal appurtenances, thanked their stars fer
vent1y each night when their heads
dropped on their pillows that another day
was over. Each morning they felt like
galley slaves when they arose to begin
another days wrestle.
Objects All Accomplished.
One day, however, all awoke to find that
their labors were accomplished. The stock
holders had invested to the extent of their
stock, and the sum of the profits, after ex-
penses were deducted, was but little larger
than the little end of nothing whitfield to a
point. A consultation was held, and it was
decided to settle with the landlord and quit
business.
Some of those interested are of opinion
that a cog must have slipped somewhere,
but they have the consolation of knowing

A WIFE's GRIEVANCE.

Mrs. Thompson, of Tunnel Street, Locked
Up on Complaint of Mrs. Allies.
Mrs. Thompson, of 16 Tunnel street, was
arrested last night on complaint of Mrs. j.
c. Allies, the wife of the real estate agent.
When Allies was released from Dixmont,
where he had been confined for short time,
he went to the house of Mrs. Thompson, it
is stated, instead of going home. HIS wife
wanted something done to break the wo-
mans influence over her husband, and yes
terday appealed to Inspector McAleese.
The Inspector ordered her arrest, and she
was placed in Central station. What charge
would be made against her he would not
state.

Frank Connolly Displays an Aptitude for
EmbaIming Himself in Mems Memoirs.
A Cincinnati morning paper of yesterday
devoted some space to the performances of
Frank Connolly, of that place and this
place, under the following head lines: ''The
King" "All borrowers in the shade"
''The brilliant efforts of Frank Connolly
place them there" "He has gently kissed
himself away from the suckers to other
climes."
The story recites that he borrowed from
everybody he could, forged orders for
money, railroad tickets and clothes, and
played divers tricks of an unfriendly nature
on his dearest and latest friends. Spalding,
of bail fame, and various theatrical manag-
ers are reported as regretting his acquaint-
ance, with a sorrow both heavy and costly.
One thousand dollars is about the tune to
which he made his friends dance, according
to the statement Of the Queen City paper.
Connolly was widely known here, and
when he departed, about year ago, he
took with him many solicited tokens Of
friendship from citizens here.

EARLY HELD FOR TRIAL.

He Must Answer the Charge of Stealing
United States Mail.
Robert Early, the postal clerk arrested
Thursday evening on his return from his
regular trip, had hearing before United
States Commissioner McCandless yesterday.
He was charged by Postofice Inspectors
Parkham and Griggs with stealing six let
tiers. The Commissioner ordered his COM
mltment to jail in default of 1000 bail for
trial at next weeks session of the United
States Court at Erie.
Early is thought to have been carrying
on his operations in the railway mail service
for some time. He was captured by means
of six decoy letters mailed at various points
along the line, which should have been dis
tributed on the run between New York and
Pittsburg. These letters, with 30 others,
were found in Early's mail pouch in the
transfer room at the Union depot.
Early is 45 years of age and has wife
and family at Norristown, Pa. He has
been in the service II years and heretofore
has been above suspicion.

F. Mischean, German who lives at 318

making fine wire, which was invented by
him while in Germany and afterward pat
ented in all European countries. On May
16 Mischean landed in this country for the
purpose of having his contrivance patented
here, but was too late, as someone had al
ready been to this country, secured the pat
ent, sold it and returned to Germany. Mis-
chean thinks he has been greatly wronged
and wants to mete out justice to the person
whom he says stole his invention.
On his invention he claims to re-
ceive $1,000 year for allowing the manu-
facture of the wire in Austria.
