MANUFACTURING NOTES.

Quite number Of the large glass fac
tories are using Lima oil, said at q saw
ing OF over - per cent. on the present
prices OF fuel gas, based on a price OF
67lS cents a barrel for oil delivered. by
the new process the oil is transformed
into gas, and then mixed with air on its
introduction into the furnace. Among
glass factories now using oil as fuel, are
the following: West Penn Glass Works,
Blairsville, Pa; GreenSburg Glass
Works, GreensburG; Agnew Glass
Works, Hutton; Brownsville Glass
Works, Kensingtou; Eagle Glass Works,
Leasurville; Riversburg Glass Works,

The Washington Glass Co., Of Wash
ington, Pa, which has been in tnan-
cially embarrassed condition FOR some
time, has asked the Court to appoint a
receiver to close up its business. This
has been only done after every effort
was made TO get outside capital inter
ested with a view of increasing their
cauital stock to 500, 600. The company
has received an offer from Butler, Pa,
of free site and free gas, and II Is
likely that il will be accepted and the
plant removed this spring.
After considerable wrangling an
agreement has been reached In the mat
ter Of adjusting the insurance on the
Union Widow Glass Works, OF Bellalre,
Ohio, which was burned several months
ago. The agreement is upon basis
which will give the company S29, 80.
II cannot be said just what the company
will do; some of the stockholders want
10 withdraw and others desire to reduce
the amount Of stock they hold, while
Others are in favor OF rebuilding the
factory.
It. w. Carmichael, OF Wellsburg, w.
Va, has received communication from
Dalzell Bros, who are at present To-
Gated in Findlay, Ohio. The communt-
cation is in reference TO their unoccu-
MED glass works just aboveIWellsburg,
asking the estimate cost of fixing the
furnace in the works so that gas can be
used as fuel. From this il is inferred
that Dalzell Bros. are going TO return to
that place.

contracted with the TT. Wayne Electric
ComDany. the same firm which con-
structed the municipal electric light

No factory, Of any de Scription, in
the limited states, can boast OF Oe1VeE
souipment than Bloch Bros.
Cen Westwood, Of the South Side, Is
looking for a suitable location Tor a
hricEvsrd. which he hopes TO nave IN
o1eratiop in time for the building
Sasson. Mr.. WestwOod is an experienced
brickmaker, and his venture Will no
doubt prove success
Although the men have not yet re-
.oi1sd notice. il is thought that the
nnddling department OF the hehWOOu
mil, will resume operations on No"-
dst or Tuesday. Thedeiay in starting
nrwas caused by the delay In the ar
rival Of metal.
The last OF the new sheet mills, mill
10 :. lust built by the Etna, was
started up yesterday and did satlSiac-
torily. This mill completes the series

The other departments are all going
