GLASS DECORATION,
New Process Discovered In Switzerland

New Process Discovered In Switzerland
which Produ es Il .autiful Results.
Some beautiful effects in the orna-
mentation of glass are now produced by
Gorlitz of Zurich, his method in this
kind of work being, it is claimed, de-
cided improvement in the art. The
design is first engraved on a printing
plate of rubber. positively-that is, in
the same way as that in which it will
be afterward seen, and the plate is
coated then with varnish color and
pressed upon glass plate; the latter is
strcwcd with bronze powder, sheet
aluminium, or other suitable material,
the portions forming the design remain
ing empty, and being, therefore, trans
parent. At this stage the glass plate is
placed in frame having 4 backing of
strong paper board, on the front face
of which is mounted Il brilliant sheet of
tinfoil or tin plate, provided with prom
incnt squares in suitable positions. The
design is thus shown by brilliant re-
1ccted light through the transparent
part of the glass, its other portion form
ing backing stamped in relief.
Heretofore, raised enanclcd writing
and designs in relief on glass have been
produced by means of a brush and thin
enamel paint, but Gorlitz uses stencil
plates of tin foil or other flexible ma
terial and glass powder composition
made up to the consistency of molasscs,
with turpcntinc and "Glazc."

SENSATIONAL REPORT DENIED.

The Southern Pacific Not Trying to
Cripple the Union Pacific.
OMAHA, Sept. 30.-In regard to the re-
port issued from Washington that the
Southern Pacific contemplated taking off
trains in order to cripple the Union
Pacific, General Manager Dickinson of
the latter road said to-day:
The sensational reports are all bosh.
The entire foundation for the rumor rests
in the fact that Mr.. Fillmore of the
Southern Pacific telegraphed to me, as
we'll as to the General Managers of other
talk OF Withdrawing train from Ogden
to Reno. We were notified that before
this was done we would be given ample
time to meet with him and other South
ern Pacific officials and discuss the with
drawal of this train. There is absolutely
nothing to be said about the matter until
after the meeting. The train that the
Southern Pacific proposes to withdraw is
the one that connects at Ogden with
Union Pacific train No. 7, which is the
through local train. Our principal
through train from Chicago and Omaha
to san Francisco is No. /, the overland
flyer, and If the proposed train was with
drawn IL would in no way effect No. |.
There is no intention whatever on the
part of the Southern Pacific to ruin our
through business, or IN any way miss or
Interfere with our connections. The SEN
sational reports are sent out by those not
familiar with the facts. and know abso-
lutely nothing OF the case"

rocks, and the other much higher up on
the side of the hill. They were arranged
to be touched off with wires from an cleo
trio battery. The men took refuge under
the ledge of rocks Immediately beneath
the first blast, intending TO touch the one
higher up. BY mistake the blast over the
ledge was fired first. The explosion tore
loose the whole ledge, and an immense

Truett, which are still beneath the mass.

A French Syndicate Endeavoriug to
Corner the Market.
LONDON, Sept. 30.-The United Press,
through interviews with leading mem
bers of the large sugar houses, learns that
three weeks ago French syndicate was
formed for the purpose of buying up beet
sugar. and cornering the market for that
commodity. The operations covered
total purchase of 100000 tons, and has re-
suited in the present rise in the sugar
market of I'd per hundred weight. The
syndicate has been buying in London to-
sell in France, in which country the trade
is likely TO be affected. The London firms
agree in the expression OF the opinion that
the operations or the syndicate Will not
seriously affect the British aud American
markets, but they are equally unanimous
in the belief that as the French syndicate
is strongly backed financially the corner
in France is likely to be successful.

The association had gathered thousands
of dollars from the poor OF this city and
