PLANTWILL BE SOLD
The West Virginia Glass Factory
Will Not be Placed in Operation
by It's Present 0wnerS-ThiS Ac.
ton Decided Upon Yesterday.

AT meeting of the directors of the
West Virginia Glass Company. held
yesterday morning, 1t was decided to
abandon the attempt to place the plant
in operation, and to offer it for sale. A
meeting was held on Thursday. at
which it was decided to postpone this
action until yesterday, the subsorip-
ton committee being consulted in the
meantime. The committee's report
was presumably unsatisfactory, as the
directors at yesterdays meeting re-
solved to wind up the affairs of the
company.
The plant, which is worth at least
half hundred thousand dollars, will
probably be sold at auction, II it can
not be satisfactorily disposed of at pri-
yate sale. 1t is we'll equipped, and I'M
der favorable conditions would make
money for the stockholders.
The plant has been idle for some
time. 1t will be remembered that an
attempt was made recently to raise
enough money by subscription among
the stockholders and the business men
OF Martins Ferry to put the factory In
operation. The committee secured a
sum approXimating $4,000 or $1,000
The sum was not as large as desired,
but was considered sufficient TO start
the plant. Then another difficulty
arose. A secretary was elected who was
not satisfactory TO many of the stock
holders, and on this account the sub
scription money was not turned over.
All efforts 70 settle the differences
among the owners proved futile, and
this fact led to the ultimate decision
TO discontinue the business.

A Number Of South Side Churches
VIII Be Closed Tomorrow
AS a Precautionary Measure-Few
Church Entertainments Given
and Few in COntemplation-Some
Topics for Sabbath Sermons.

1t is not likely that all the churches
on the South Side will be closed TO-
morrow. but it is certain that there will
be no services at several Of them, this
course having already been decided up
on as precautionary measure. The
matter is in the hands Of the different
pastors, and most OF them will decide
to-day whether they viii conduct ser
vices. There is probably no danger to
be anticipated, with the exception OF
one or two churches, and they will
probably be closed.
The usual services will be conducted
morning and evening at the English
Lutheran Church, on Sixteenth street.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, OF this city, at their regular

sugar, etc, to be used az their booth on
the Fair Grounds; also to the busy
housewives who sent daily such tooth
some pies, cakes, etc; in fact 10 all who
in any way contributed to their sue

literature, treating largely upon the
evil effects of beer and cider, foes to the

vested by and by. The women were
awake TO the places Of questionable
amusement along the Midway, and
through their efforts one place was
