The stacks of the pioneer glass fac
tory OF this city, the Belmont, were
blown to atoms with dynamite last sat
urday to make room for an elegant
three.story brick factory for the Novelty
Stamping Company. Time and its mu-
tatioas work wonders in some things.
1t was the old Belmont glass works that
started several men who to-day reckon
their wealth at round SlOO,OOO on the
road to prosperity, and yet the stock;
holders who held on till the end will
receive only about IS cents on the dol
lar OF their present holding from the
wreck and ruins. An interesting story
is told of one man who began his career
BY whitewashing the old frame build
ings OF the Belmont, and travelled from
that to shipping clerk, finally organic
ing a company out OF the stockholders
OF the Belmont, OF which he was secre.
tary, and to-day he is one OF tho head
officers in the United States Glass Com
pany.
Col. G. L. Poorman came home Sat-
urday evening from Indiana where he
was accorded wonderful ovations at his
three meetings in the gas belt territory,
and he says that conservative Republic
cans Of that state have no fear what
ever Of the result this fall. There is
some lack OF enthusiasm Tor Harrison
in some parts OF the state but it will
not be carried far enough to affect the
ticket, while the new glass factories
started up have added something like
five or six thousand to the Republican
voters, and their influence in the com.
munities in which they live will count
in that direction. Col. Poorman will
devote the next six weeks principally
to this district beginning this week in
Harrison county.
DR.. D. w. Boone, the quarantine olti-
Ger, has been worked nearly to death
inspecting all the trains that come from
the east the past four or five days. They
kept him up day aud night, and he has
had several funny experiences with per.
sons who are not used to travelling and
got sick on tho cars. Some OF them re-
garded the questions as impertinent,
and one man didn't propose to have his
wife bothered and annoyed; but they
all came down gracefully rather than
leave the train.
