Industrial News Of the
City.

The kilograms from PIttsburg to the
effect that the U. S. Glass Company
would not longer recognize the Flint
Glass Workers Union caused much
comment In this city yesterday. Prom
inent South Side glass workers were
seen last night as to their ideas OF the
matter. The men generally said that
the action taken was not unlocked for
by them, as circulars had been
received asking that they work for the
company as individuals, but that all
such offers, as far as they knew, were
Indignantly refused. 1t was not doubt
ed that the Company would attempt TO
operate Factory N" under the talked
OF plan, but none were found who
thought the plant could be run In such
a manner, because home workmen could
not be secured, and 1t is claimed that
outsiders, knowing the attitude OF
Wheeling workmen 10 such
matters, would not come. 1t is believed
by some too, that the company is weak
ened itself by having deposed some OF
its best managers, and that the change
talked of is more for a bluff than any
thing else. None Of the workmen In
terviewed showed the least fear that
either factory 81" or 30" would be
operated n%on-union.

And Spends a Large Portion Of the Night IN
Fruilss Balloting-Mr. Elan Votes With
the Rspublicans-Ssvsn Ballots
Up TO Midnight

As was anticipated, there was quite q
large attendance of local politicians OF
both parties, at the City Hall, last
evening, to watch the various phases
of the contest over the choice OF a new
Board OF Gas Trustees. The specta-
tors began to collect at and about
the building before seven o'clock
and by half-past that hour
the corridors and Hobbies wore an old
time political aspect that was quite re-
ireshing. When Council was called to
order there were over three hundred
spectators In the Second Branch cham
Der. The crush in the gallery was so
great that several benches were broker
down during the session.
Before the session the Democratic
members assembled In Prosecuting At
torney Towards Office, where the pol
lev to be maintained during the even
ing was debated. The Republicans met
down street for a like purpose, and
marched to the City Hall In a body,
about twenty minutes OF eight.
1t was considerably after that
time when the Democrats filed up
stairs. Mr.. PAUL, D., First ward, was
absent, and was paired with Mr.. Dob
bins. At one minute after eight the
Second Branch was called TO order, the
First followed Immediately after, and
miscellaneous business was taken up,
which will be found fully reported else
where.

A BRILLIANT RECEPTION.

The most brilliant and enjoyable
social event in Kingwood for some
time, was the reception given to
Judge Hoke and bride, last night.
by MIR. and Mrs.. j. M. Crane. at
their elegant and hospitable home
in Fast Kingwood. The large par
Tors were filed to overlooking with
the guests invited to meet the bride
and groom, and the time flew mer-
rily by with conversation, music,
speeches and the banquet until mid
night ere the gay party broke up
and left with many kind "good
nights" feeling that it was good
and very pleasant to have been
there, specially in the dining room,
where an elegant and sumptuous
repast was served, after which all
the lawyers present responded to
toasts, pertinent to the Court and
legal lore generally. Hon. w. NJ.
o. Dawson (wko is now reading
law and expects to break IN to the
profession soony also delivered a
very wicked but highly entertaining
address. Mrs. +. Heermans (who
IS not a lawyer, but probably "lays
down the law" sometimes) respon.
ded on behalf Of the ladies, and His
Honor, the Judge, responded on
behalf Of the Court. Ali the
speeches were good and roundly
applauded, and some Of them were
witty and eloquent indeed.

The leading attraction Of Marlin,
Tenn, just now thirteen year-old
boy with a remarkable name. Cleye-
land Stevenson is the youngest son
OF w. w. Stevenson. OF that place.
He was born Mt Mount PeIta, Weak

father at his birth asked the atten-
ding physician to name the child.
The doctor had just returned from
Buffalo, N. Y. He was personal
friend of Grover Cleveland, who
was then Mayor OF Buffalo. So he
said to Mr.. Stevenson "Let's
name bin Cleveland Stevenson,
after man who, if he lives, will be
President of the United States"
So they had the child christened
Cleveland Stevenson. Now that he
has the name of both the President

splendid new property, in front of

take charge next month. The price
paid for the building was 81, 900,
and the stock Of goods at cost and
carriage. The whole business a
cash sale right down when the
transfer Is made. Mr.. Lenhart is
one of ths best and most successful
of the young business men OF the
county snd we welcome him to
Kingwood, and hope we viii not
lose Messrs. Feather s. Wearnor. as
they are two Of our most enterpris-
ing young men. The whole matter
is so sudden that they do not know
yet what they will do. Mr.. Lenhart,
who has been in business at Valley
Point for number of years, sold
out recently to Mr. G.. w. Zentz, OF
Clarksburg, and has been locking
around ever since for an opening.
He will move his family here and

dence, as Mr.. Werner has been
