Tho adjourned meeting OF representa-
tives OF the flint glass factories not in
tho United States company, with view
to forming another organization on tho
same general limo as tho United States
company, was to havo assembled at tho
Hotel Windsor, in this city, at o'clock
yesterday afternoon, but those who
were there ut that hour thought for
some reason that 1t would DO better to
wait awhile, and tho meeting was not
called to order till about half past two.
1t was nearly five o'clock when tho
session ended, though several Of those
present loft at a considerably earlier
hour. Three OF the gentlemen remained
in tho room for some time after tho
erslcft. They were Capt. Ed. Muhle.

state OF affairs was, and was referred to
Capt. Muhlemnn. The captain, in re-
sponse to tho came question, said that
practically no progress had been made.
"We arc just where We were whom

was asked.
"Yes, sir; and Its report was read,
and that was all that was done"
Inquiries as to when the manufacture
crs would meet again were answered
evasively, except that ono gentleman
intimated that the next meeting would

"Then tho thing is not off," tho re-
porter observed.
mot at all; by no means"
1t was learned last night that the
main reason for postponing action was
the fow factories which were repro.
sentcd. So far rs the opinions Of those
who have attended tho meeting are con-
cerncd, it is semi-olIicially stated that
thoy are unit for the plan OF organiza-
ton proposed by the committee, but
they prefer to wait till moro factories
are present before organizing.
The, following gentlemen were named
by ono OF those in the meeting % those
who were prosent: &. II. Henderson,
General Manager, and @. J. Bockius,
Secretary and Treasurer Of tho Canton
Co., OF Marion, Ind; A. NJ. Kane, OF
tho Rochester Co.; George Trautman.
OF the Windsor Co.; W. X. Elson and
G. J. Gill, of the Elson, at Martins
Ferry; J. n. Vance, Presiden and
Captain Muhleman, Of the Crystal; J.
G. Quay, of East Liverpool; Harry
Northwood and Charles Helling, of the
Northwood, at Martins Ferry.
In addition to these Hon. N. B. Scott
was present part of the time by invita-
ton. While it is understood that he
has been spoken OF by those interested
as the head OF the now concern, there is
yet nobody authorized to make such an
arrangement, and will not DO until tho
company is organized. 1t is probable
that his presence yesterday was only
for consultation, US he has some exper-
ienco that might BIO OF valuo to tho pro-
jected combination.
1t is declared by those who know that
there has been as yet nothing said
about the capital stock OF the new COM
pany. The factories which it is hoped
to include in the organization arc the
Buckeye, Of Martins Ferry; Coopera-
tive Flint Glass Company, OF Beaver
Falls, Pa; Cumberland (Md.) Glass
Company; Dalzell, Gilmore l. Leighton,
OF Findlay; Fostoria company, OF
Moundsvillo; Elson Company, OF Mar
tins Ferry; Fostoria ,(O.) Shade and
Glass Company; Greensburg (Pa.)
Glass Company; Canton Glass Compa-
ny, of Marion, Ind; Eagle Glass Com
pany, of Wellsburg; Northwood Glass
Company, Of Martin's Ferry; Flint Glass
Company, Of Findlay; Pittsburgh Glass
Company Riverside, of Wellsburg; Crya-
tai, OF Bridgeport; Windsor, Of Home
stead, Pa; Westmoroland Specially
Company, of Grapeville, Pa; Zlmmer-
man, OF North baltimore, O.. Brice,
Higbee & Co., of Homestead, Pa; spe-
cialty Company, Of East Liverpool;
Rochester, Pa, Tumblor company.
Theso concerns have combined
capital OF about 100000, and
it is probable that the nom
inal capital OF the now company will
somewhat exceed that sum. So far as
is known no name has been suggested
