Plate Glass Industry Injured.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Dec. 17.-Threat-
ened tariff reductions are having a
demoralizing effect upon the plate
glass Industry in this country. The
big plant at Charleroi closed down
yesterday for au indefinite period.
Hundreds of men were thrown out of
work. The Howard Works at Du-
quesne are closed down, and the But
Ter plant is working half time. The
prospects are that by January all
the plate glass works in the country
will be closed down.
President Eberhardt, of the Win
dow Glass Workers Association, has
written to Congressman Dalzell, sta
ting that the Tariff Committee is
ready to proceed to Washington to
protest against the passage of. the
Wilson bill as soon as he advises.
James M. Guffey, the millionaire
oil operator and Democratic politi-
clan, has just returned from Wash
ington, where he became imbued with
the Republican reciprocity idea in
dealing with foreign nations. He
went to Washington as a representa-
tive of the petroleum producers to
protest against placing that commod
ity on the free list, and succeeded in
having added to the Wilson bill a
proviso that countries producing pc
troleum and having a tariff on the
importation of that commodity shall
be required to pay a duty on ship
ments of the same to this country.

Schaefer's Run.

New YORK, Dec. Is The final
and deciding game Of the billiard
tourney in which Shaefer and Ives
met to determine which was cham
pion, was played tonight before the
largest and most critical audience
that ever witnessed a billiard match
in this city. At the end of the fifth
inning Schaefer had scored "a to
Ives so points. Ives never got an
other shot for his money. Schaefer
gathered the balls in the upper left
hand corner and after few prelimi-
nary shots, succeeded in getting
them astride the line. Once there
he ratified off point after point with
out moving the ivories more than
the sixteenth Of an inch. In this po-
sition he added rs to his string.
With logged persistence and steady
regularity he walked back and forth
perspiration streaming from every
pore, and scoring point after point
until 400 points were announced.
The 500 mark was reached at $40
p. m and the audience yelled itself
hoarse, and did not subside until
Jake had finished the game and made
the worlds record of 566 points.

Wayne Mcveagh Appointed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-The APP
pointment of Mr.. Wayne McVeas h,
of Philadelphia. az ambassador to
Italy, the diplomatic post to which
Mr.. John j. Van Allen, of Newport,
r. L., was first appointed and which
he declined, came as a surprize to
Democrats and Republicans alike
Partisan Democrats thought that the
President had sufficiently recogniz
ed the independent element of Re-
publicans who supported Mr.. Cleve-
land when he was elected President
by the selection of Mr. Gresham, as
Secretary of State. Great was their
surprise, therefore when a second
recognition was accorded the Repub-
licans by sending Mr.. McVeagh to
Rome. Republicans take the same
view. There is as yet no movement
to prevent the confirmation of Mr..
McV eagh.

Sensation in Court.

New YORK, Dec. ia rather
novel sensation marked the closing
days of the now famous Dir. Never
murder trial, in that a juror, who
had formerly been sn inmate OF
Bl om;ngdale ass lum, was overcome
by excitement and emo. ion, super
induced By the eloquent pleading of
the brilliant la syer Brooks.
Juror Low was removed fr5m the
court room by Dr.. O'sulliyaa and
three Jurors. His clothing was strip
ped to the waist and chunks of ice
placed on the back of his neck and
on his head. DR.. O'Sullivan reports
that Juror Low is suffering from GER
ebral congestion,
Late tonight experts on insanity
made an examination of juror Low
and wrote out a sealed opinion re-
garding Lows condition which will
be opened by Judge Barrett to-mor-
row. 1t is believed that the finding
of the experts viii show that juror
Low is hopelessly insane.
