CLEVELAND. O.. Oct. THE glass
manufacturer OF the country are in secret
session here at the Hollenden to-day. and a
meeting OF the glass jobbers has been
called to meet at the same place to-mor-
row. 1t is understood that the object of
the meeting on the part of manufacturers
is to seek to prevent jobbers from organ
izing. Recently the glass manufacturers or
ganized a series of. so-called trusts. They
were then in a position TO dictate the
amount of commission TO De paid the job
bers. Ii Ia claimed the terms of manufac-
turers were SO severe that the jobbers de-
cided to protest, and accordingly called the
conference which commences Tomorrow.
The manufacturers heard of the conference
and decided to meet at the same time. 1t
Is probable some interesting developments
will come as a result of the meetings. Rep
from all over the United States.

to quit retailing and to give jobbers better

being made. but will probably be unsuc-

Wheelmen as a class travel faster than
horses. and the law in regard to passing
when going I'm the same direction Is posi-
bly, OF more importance 70 them than that
in regard to passing an approaching vehi-
Gle. The law Is to pass to the left in
going. and If wheelmen would always re-
member to do his accidents might often
be averted. II Is only natural that a horse
should shy when a glittering wheel sud
denly flashes past him from behind, and
when he does shy ii is always away from
the object which causes his fright. so by
coming upon a horse from the right there
is danger of his shying to the left side OF
approaching from the opposite direction
BY passing to the right OF those whom they
meet and to the left Of any one they may
overtake. and by being considerable enough
to go at moderate speed, 30 that drivers
may have some warning OF their approach.
they will come within the spirit as well
as the letter of the law.

SHERIDAN. Ind. Oct. John Parr, a
farmer residing four miles south of this
place. Was awakened by his wife on Sat
urday morning at 3 O'Clock. He arose and
went to a field TO cut corn. leaving his wife
lying on the bed. He continued his work
for a time. when. glancing toward the
house, he saw fire. He at once returned to
the house and found the water closet in
flames and his wife burned to death When
first discovered in the burning building
she was sitting on the floor with her feet
straight out in front, her body and head
leaning back against the seat behind her
and her arms folded across her breast i'm
an attitude of peaceful repose. Her posi-
tion indicated that she must have been
wholly insensible and suffered no agony
from the torture of the flames. After Mr..
Parr left the house she evidently went to
the kitchen and lit the gas in the cook
stove. as IL was found burning later. Ii is
thought possible that she may have ac-
cidentally fired her clothing at that time.
The remains were burned beyond recogni-
ton. The funeral took place on Sunday.

THE KAISER CHALLENGER.
Herr Liebknecht Attacks the Empire
in the SOcialistic Congress-.

BRESLAU. Oct. 7.-Herr Lie5knerht, in
his inaugural speech at the opening OF
the Socialistic Congress to-day, referred TO
the remarks recently made by Emperor
William of Germany. saying that attempts
had lately been made to Willy the Social
Democracy, but, the speaker added. hat
party could now defy defeat no matter
how many bayonets were at the disposal
of those who wished for a trial of strength.
The speaker said that :f people wanted
a fight the Social Democrats we're their
men. Continuing. ne said: the highest
authority in the land throws down the
gauntlet and insults US. let rs take up
the challenge. no matter who I Lay be
who casts this. mud at Us. lie rs incapable
OF touching us. for we are above his in
suits. The German empire would first col
lapse, but socialism will triumph. A VIOLA

lent to the death warrant of the imperial
government

the congress meets is a 'ife-size portrait of
the late Emperor Frederick. The Social
lists wished to veil 1t during the sessions
of their congress. but they were prevented
from doing so by the police, Nhereurcn
the chairman remarked that If the DELHI
eraticns did not disturb Emperor Frederick
his portrait would not incomiuode the
Socialists.
The congress passed a resolution tc ex-
pei from the party DIR. Ruedt, of Heidel-
burg, on the ground that although he
had been elected a delegate he had alb
scented himself from fhe congress, at the
same time making the state neut that he
had lone with that lot" .Among the mo-
tons which the congress viii have &c con-
slider are a large number dealing with
the Agrarian programme, put they are by
no means favorable to the aew proposals.
Several demands are made that the Agrar-
ian programme shall be rejected without a
further ado. while those who DO not go
so far as this express the opinion that
the committee which drafted the pro-
gramme should remain in existence in
order to collect further material Tor the
agitation in the rural districts. requests
are also to be considered that the Social
lists make good their claim TO be repre-
sented on the presidential bench of the
imperial Diet; that they should bring in
annually a motion for the inrod1ction of
an eight-houri day and a minimum wage,
and that they should demand a state pro-
Eihition cf wet nurses. in view OF the
advantages of sterilized milk. .
Another motion which is promises good
support proposes that party officials and
editors who are members or the Reichs-
tag and receive a salary OF 1900 marks
and more shall not be paid for their par
liamentary services. One MEMBER wished
the congress 10 pronounce mat social
Democracy combats religious communities

dissatisfaction with the party press.
