 FLINT GLASS WORKERS.
 Depressing Outlook for the Industry.
 MARION, Ind, July 1.-The annual con- vention of the American Flint Glass Work CTS union began its session yesterday in this city. The delegates, representing T. 400 skilled glass workers, met to day under less suspicious circumstances than year ago in Corning, N. Y- Then they were be- ginning to feel the beneficial effects of the Mckinley tariff law, which had been | framed in such a manner as to give new life to the flint glass trade In America. Now the change in administration and the prospect that a democratic congress will tear the Mckinley law to pieces cause feeling of alarm and depression among both the workmen aud the manufacturers. | Coupled with this fact Is the announce ment that the manufacturers will ask for a reduction of wages, which the men will stubbornly refuse to sccede to. Even II there should not be a lockout, the large stock of glass on hand, for which there is no market in sight, will prevent the fur
 nacss throughout the country from resum
 ing operations until late in the fall, and al
 many of them went out of blast esrliel
 than usual there will be decided parips | off of earnings.

WAS BURGESS MARRIED2

There Is Some Reason for Believing That Such Is the Case-Miss Alma KunZe of Beacon Falls Said to be Mrs. Tristan Burgess.
 The Ansonia Sentinel of last evening published sn article containing an interview with Mics Alma Kunze of Beacon Falls, who, it is hinted, is the wife of Tristan Burgess, the man who is charged with bs- ing the author of Nellie Nesbips trouble. Burgess worked at the Homer D. Bronson company's bronze art works at Ansonia for some time and was very attentive to Alma. He boarded with Mrs. Henry Schweig, who Is Alma's grandmother, for several weeks. Letters are said to have come addressed to her as Mrs. Tristan Burgess.
 Luther c. Bronson, of the firm of Ho- mer D. Bronson & Co.,, said that on July 6, the day after the exposure of the Nesbit case, he took a letter to Alma Kunze, and the writing was certainly that of Burgess. That same afternoon she received @ tele- gram and went away on the train, pre- sumsbly to Ansonia. She came back on the $40 train that night, however. When the Sentinel reporter called on Alma KunAe, who is dressmaker, he asked the woman who came to the door, "Is Mrs. Burgess at homea' "Yes," was the sn- swer. When Alma was interviewed she denied that she was the wife of Triston' Burgess, but said that she had known him since June, 1891, and that they had been close friends. She said that she had once admitted to her mother that they were married, because her mother said she had been going with him long time and that they ought to be married. She had said 1t simply to quiet her. No record of any such marriage could be found in the town clerks office at Waterbury, but 1t is thought that Alma Kunzs is concealing something. Burgess is also said to have admitted to man named Oscar Zeigler that he WAS married to Alma Kunze.
