the operations of the Committee o
Subscriptions for the new Contra.
Hobbs Glass Company, but last evenin
it was stated that stock to the amour
of about one hundred thousand dolla.
had been secured through the effort
of the various subcommittee, and ger
tlemen qualified to speak stated las
evening that success seemed to be /
sight, as they thought the total OF tw
hundred thousand dollars would be sc
cured within the next day or two.
The Committee on Subscriptions a.
sembled at the Chamber of Commerc
rooms yesterday morning, and after
general interchange of opinions, IL WI
determined to get down to work, upo
the idea indicated in the REGISTER G
Sunday morning, and the city was
cordingly divided into FIVE district
with a sub. com mittee to each. Thes
districts are as follows: First, th
Sixth and Eighth wards; second, Cent?
Wheeling; third, East Wheeling; fourtl
Creek to Twelfth street; fifth, north {
Twelfth street. The sub-committe
went to work at once, and report
good progress last evening. The lis
of subscribers were withheld from pu
LEGATION, however, for the present.
During the morning meetings
glass workers were held at both Il
local factories, and total OF $3.50
was then and there subscribed. FL
bulk OF this was at the Central, whe
Mr.. N. B. Scott headed the list wi
five thousand dollars, and Louis Sha
put down his name next for

At the meeting at the Hobb
unier works Hon. G. w. Brockunier D.
present, and handled the subscription
paper, and a total Of about fifteeI
thousand dollars was secured, which
sum will likely be increased to-day. AL
told, the glassworkers will make VI
fifty thousand dollars of the stock, Of
one-fourth of the total amount desired
and the other one hundred and eft!
thousand dollars will be forth
coming from business men ant
capitalists, perhaps within forty
eight hours. The whole sum ought II
be made up to-day, and 1t is to be earn
estly hoped such will be the case. Tn'
glass business has heretofore beer
among the most profitable Of Wheel
ing's industries, and upon this score
alone, il no other reason existed, there
should be no trouble in securing TIT
prompt organization OF the new com
pany. Aside from this business reason
however, there are other and weighty
considerations calling for the putting
of the local factories in operation with
out the loss of any more tim'
than is absol utelY necessary, and /
stock subscriptions come 10 to-day a
they should, the fires will be burning II
the furnaces in another month, and lou
or FIVE hundred Wheeling workmen vii
be back at their accustomed avocations
Wheeling is In position to commant
the immediete services Of the most ex
perienced men in the glass business
her wares have reputation which 1
countrywide, the plants are here
ready for the lighting Of the fires
and with the organization OF the new
Company certainty there will be no
the slightest trouble about plenty o
business and s prosperous career.
Give the gentlemen OF the soliciting
committee a fitting welcome to-day
and let it be known that Wheeling bus
mess men will not see an important In
dustry be wiped out for the want Of en-
terprise to keep itgoing.
