No Cut in Plate Glass.

The plate glass manufacturers adjourned
q three days session yesterday at the Ander-
son Hotel, after deciding that there should be
no cut in rates of American plate glass. Up
until recently the difference in price be-
tween American and French plate was AZ
cents per square foot The foreign makers
made cut of 3 cents, so that there was but
a slight difference between the home and
foreign product. AS a result of this cut
large order was sent from New York last
week to a French factory. However, the
American trade does not fear that the for
eign article will ever be the strong COM
petitor il was years ago. Treasurer Ford OF
the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company, said
yesterday: 1--WE are not alarmed about for
eign competition. American glass is even
superior, but the old prejudice still hangs to
some dealers. Our strongest competition is
with new concerns who can cut on our rates
by making an inferior quality that suits a
certain class of trade who want plate. but
are not particular as to its quality. Plate
glass trade Is quiet at present, and there is a
stock on hand now larger than ever before.

'Talking about the fight for the Secretary

a delegate yesterday, "Jim Burke is q
mighty fine fellow, but he hadn't chance;
he was numerically hoodooed. Burke has
a striking face and is n good-looking
young fellow whom to see once you

and Negley. The statement that
MAYORS Clerk Ostermaier was canc1-
date was emphatically denied by that
gentleman Yesterday. Inspector McAleese
still leads the race and apparently Is looked
upon with favor by the entire Prison Board
1t is expected that during the week TO come
several new names will appear put the
friends OF the Inspector say they do not
have much fear OF any stronger opposition
than at present The selection, resting
largely with the Judiciary, politics will not
be allowed TO become n factor in it. The
choice will be made for worth alone. which
makes it decidedly favorable for the In
spector.
County Commissioner Weir was Quotad
Yesterday as having declared that the alb
stra t of the quarterly committee report, rs
published in The DISPATCH, was entirely in
correct When seen yesterday afternoon
Commissioner Weir positively denied har-
inp made any such an assertion.
No reliable information has yet been re-
ceived by the authorities as to the wherea-
bouts of the missing Fitzsimmons. The last
story, to the effect that he stopped over
night at farm house near Memphis, Tenn,
has been followed up by the police. But
like all others il has as yet failed to develop
any very plausible features. Tho only
thing in It's favor is the fact that Fitzsim-
mons is well acquainted with Mexico and
various parts of South America, and would
probably go South toward those countries.

Rejoicing at Jeannette by Glass Worker:
Who Will Soon Work.


Who Will Soon Work.

delighted with the authoritative statement
made to-day that the great Chambers Nc
Kee glass works will be started before Octo-

concern were elected at a meeting to-day:
President H. Sellers Mckee: Vice President
and Treasurer, D. z. Brickell: Secretary,
Thomas NJ. Mckee, and John D. Jones, of
New Castle, Manager"
As before stated, it has been thought that
there was a settlement of some kind in
view, but Captain Bricl1ell said yesterday
that Mr.. Chambers had been placed on the
directory of the company because he repre-
sented large amount of stock which has
been purchased by Mrs. NJ. J. Chambers.
Mr.. Brickell also confirmed the above
telegram, and said that the works would be
started up within a few days.
j. Scott Ferguson said yesterday that moth
ing of Importance was being done toward
settling up the affairs just at presnet, as all
matters demanding immediate attention
had been adjusted. Mr.. Chambers is still
considering the advantages of different
localities, for che purpose of erecting his
new window glass plant. 1t was authorfta-
lively stated that the final decision would
fall on either Jeannette or Greensburg.

THE STATE TICKET UNINJURED.
DaIzen Men Say They VIII Fight for Gregg
and Morrison.


and Morrison.
The Scranton delegates returned home
yesterday, the Robinsonites arriving on
their special in the forenoon, and the Dali
zelI men later in the day. The former were.
of course elated by their victory, while the
latter, If defeated, were proud of their can
didate and the impression he made on the
delegates generally. The views of dele
gates. expressed in the interviews following,
go to show that factional feeling has been
laid aside, and that the old clubs of both
sides and the new will work together for the
good of the party.
Collector Warmcastle said 1t was unfortu-
nate that the AZ old clubs had to be turned
down with the so-called mushrooms" but
the committee had to draw the line some
where. Stone, of McKeesport, the Kittan-
ming club and others might as well have
claimed the point made by others. The re-
suit would have been the same anyhow, as
Robinson had q majority of a of all, getting
141 votes to DalzelPs AZ and Warren's Is 1t
was O matter of negligence on the part of
the old clubs that they had not registered
before, but if these as well as the new clubs
had been admitted 1t would have made no
difference, as Robinson received q ma joritv
of 81 over all with 14l votes to Dalzells AZ
and Warren's 10. He said that these clubs
would yet do good work; would become per-
manent, as they had not been organized
solely to further the interests of particular
candidate
"DaIZeH made an excellent speech" said
Mr. Warmcastle "and he came off with
honors If not with victory. My observa-
tion shows me that the result of the election
will not be unfavorable to the interests of
the party, and that it will have no effect at
all toward producing inharmonious feelings
in the ranks"
Major Mcdowell, of Sharon. said he re-
garded DalZelrs speech rs calculated to
unite the factions and raise him in the esti-
nation of all Republicans.
City Assessor Frank Case, a prominent
Dalzell man, said that his friends would do
as the Congressman suggested in his speech,
accept the result gracefully and turn in to
work for Gregg and Morrison.
Harry Paul admits defeat but not disgrace.
He said their candidate was an excellent
one and made many friends by his speech
President Holiday, of Common Council,
thinks that although.their man was defeated
the fight they made in his behalf will show
what kind of metal there was in the people
of this section.
General Pearson said If DalZell had been
defeated he had gained Enthusiastically in
popularity The excitement created by the
election fight would not die ont, and would
be continued until the election. There was
no bitterness in any quarter to mar the har-
mony of the party
Prothonotary John Bradley said that the
old time clubs as well as the new had come
to stay He had talked with many delegates
since, and they had expressed determine
tion to abide by the result. although it was
obtained by gag law. He does not think
there will be any neutrality and that the
contest will serve to put life into the cam
paign.

More Veteran Morrison Clubs.


Four Gregg and Morrison war veterans
clubs have already been organized, and by
Saturday night It is expected there will be
10 or H. Major Denniston, who is Chairman
OF the temporary central organization, re-
ceived notice yesterday that two clubs had
been organized in Allegheny, one in the
Thirty-first ward, Pittsburg, and one in
district comprising the Sixth, Seventh,
Eighth and Eleventh wards, Pittsburg. Al
legheny will have three or four more in
couple of days. the East End will have
couple and all the surrounding boroughs are
rapidly organizing. No club Will be recog-
nized or allowed TO send delegates to the
meeting that is to organize permanent
central club until 1t has at least 25 members.
Those already organized have double that
number of members. The meeting OF the
delegates from the clubs will probably be
called for next Wednesday evening, as,
under resolution passed at the last meet
ing Chairman Denniston has authority to
call meeting whenever he is officially noti-
fled that at least five clubs have elected del

PAPER MAKERS MEET.
A Dozen Assemble to Discuss Prices-Mr.
Arlselrs Tin Plate Figures.

About dozen MANILA paper manufactur-
ers met Mt the Monongahela Hotel yesterday
and conferred relative to the condition of
the trade. James Arkell, of Canajoharie, n.
Y, stated to a DISPATCH reporter, during the
afternoon, that the meeting was not called
to enter into any combination or trust.
eve have met" he said, "in conference on
the question of prices and stock. It is
meeting of MANILA paper manufacturers.
We find the condition of the trade to be
about the same as it was last year: probably
it is little better. The sole object of our
meeting is to come to an understanding as to
prices, as we do each year."
"Does the tariff affect your trader
"No, as far as our business is considered,
we don't care whether we have a tariff or
free trade. The only thing we have to pay
duty on is chemicals, and they have been
advanced. But that we don't care for
either, since the tariff is paid on the other
side; we don't pay it. 1t is SO much out of
the pockets of the Chemical Trust a body
which stands to the chemical trade as
the Tin Plate Trust does to that trade: and
they make as much money. The Tin Plate
Trust is the five largo Welsh makers, who
control the trade. 1 met one of them re-
Gently, and he told me the profits of the
Welsh makers average from S311 to As per
cent. Some OF these profits seem to me to
be likely to find their way over here

VIII Preserve a Tinwork ers, List.

The agitation over the alleged attempt on
the part of ex-Congressman Niedringhaus
to import tin plate workers is said to have
caused that well-known manufacturer to
abandon his plans. The list of names Sc
cured by the Amalgamated Association was
a little too much for his argument that com
petent men could not be found, and it is
thought he will not now attempt to bring
over foreign workmen. 1t is reported that
Wallace, Bon1ied & Co., of Irondale, o. and
a local firm will erect small tin plate plants.
President Weibe was seen yesterday before
going away and said that the association
would preserve its list of names and furnish
all the help required by manufacturers who
build plants.

KLEBER's FAMOUS MUSICAL INsrRU.
MENTS,

At II. Kleber 8 Bros, 5O6 Wood Street.

musical house has always been, and is to-
day, the home of the leading makes of
pianos and organs for where can you find
such splendid instruments as the Steinway,
the Conover, and the Opera pianos, or the
newly-Invented seven-octave piano-organs-
organs combining the advantages of both
organ and piano? or the glorious Vocation
church organs? Kleber's is the place where
the buyer can save money. He can feel
sure of getting only the very first quality Of
pianos and organs. The prices asked for
them are exceedingly low. Don't be per-
suaded to go to some other dealer and pay a

ment. Every instrument in Kleber's store
is fully warranted for eight years, and the

WANT CHEAPER RATES.
Lawrenceville Citizens Will Petition for
Reduced Car Fare.

Lawrencevile Citizens Will Petition for
Reduced Car Fare.
An indignation meeting will be held this
evening at McCandless School, Eighteenth
ward The object will be to protest against
the charges of the Citizens Traction Com
pany. Many of the most influential people
of that ward and throughout Lawrenceville
are interested in tho meeting, and the pros
poets are that it will be large.
The grievance of the citizens is that they
are obliged to pay 10 cent fare to the Sharps-
burg bridge This route is shorter than the
trip on the Pittsburg Traction line, where
only cents is charged and those who wish
to go to the Sharpsburg bridge or near there
claim that 10 cents for such accommodation
is too great. At the meeting this evening
formal protest against this condition
will be entered and committee
will be appointed to express the sentiment
of the meeting before the officials of the
company.
Henry Gramm, a prominent citizen of
LawrenceviIle. stated that he was ut the
head of the citizens movement and antici-
pated favorable result
The announcement that the Duquesne line
will reduce its fare to cents caused consid-
cradle talk yesterday. The officials do not
care to talk about it, and decline to deny
the story. Officials of the Pittsburg Trac-
tion Company still insist they will meet any
reduction made on the rival line.
