ADVANCE IN NAILS.
All the Manufacturers Said to be In a
Combine.

New York, July 16.-Inquiry in the
nail trade in this city shows that there
has been an advance in the price OF
nails in the last sixty days of nearly
100 per cent. This is said 10 be due to
a strong agreement, which includes all
the manufacturers in the country. One
thing is certain, and that is that all
the manufacturers. agents, and dealers
in nails in this city are now selling
nails at the same prices. IT was also
learned that thereisa strong probability
that the prices will go from 80 to 80
cents hundred pounds on the average
higher than they are at the present
moment. This advance Is checked only
by the fear that too much greed may
promote foreign competition.
Mr.. Fuller, the seenior partner OF
Fuller Brothers, a leading firm of nail
sellers in New York, told a reporter
that he considered the advance in the
price of nails during the last sixty days
a result of the general increase OF busi-
ness prosperity. but admitted that an
agreement between the manufacturers
not to put out any more goods than
they could sell at a profit, might have
had something to do with it. Accord
ing to Mr.. Fuller, nails have advanced
more in proportion than some other
things. because there had been more Of
a depression in this line than in most
other goods. Mr.. Fuller said: Il re-
gard the advance as legitimate outside
of any agreement that there may have
heen among the manufacturers. The
fact that there was a reduction Of 1OO,-
600 tons in stock pig iron during the
month of June is good proof that the
consumption is now ahead Of the sup
ply. The thing may be overdone and
the market opened to foreigners in Ger
tain lines l do not believe, however,
much in the danger of foreign cOmpeti-
tion in the nail trade The danger IS
in the foreign shipments Of raw ma
terial in the shape Of steel billets and
pig iron. That would check the ten
dency to advance the prices here.

of the PitzeI Children,

Philadelphia Authoritier Admit
That They Have No Hope Of Con

Holmes Attorney Makes a State
ment.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 16.-H. H.
Holmes, the insurance swindler, accused
of having murdered the Pitzel children,
whose bodies were found in Toronto yes
terday, denies having any kowledge
whatever of the crime. 1t is probable,
however, that he will be take to Canada.
there to answer the charge Of murder, as
the authorities have about given up the
hope of fixing upon him the responsible
" for the death of the man found in the
Callowhill street house, this city, and
who, it is supposed, was the father of
the Pitzel children. Holmes was visited
in Moyamensing prison, to-day, by his
counsel, r. o. Moon, who subsequently
made the statement that his client had
positively denied all connection with the
murder Of the children. Holmes asserts
that the last time he saw them was in
October of last year in Toronto, where
he had left them in charge Of Minnie
Williams, the girl he met in Chicago.
He asserts that he knows nothing of
what became of them after that time
and that healways believed the Williams
girl had taken them to Europe. He al
so insists that he knows of the boy, and
that he had nothing to do with the
death of Pitzel. He was taken to the
station at City Hall to-day and sub
iected to a rigorous examination by
Messrs. Finletter and Barlow, who are
associated with the district attorney in
the case. District Attorney Graham
returned to the city to-day and took up
the matter, but declines to make any
statement at present, although he prom
ises to give all the details Of the case tq
the public in a day or so. Superinten-
dent of Police Linden declares that there
is no possibility of cOnvicting Holmes
of the murder of the man found in the
Callowhill street house, and says the
authorities here will not oppose extra
dition to Canada.
Chicago, July 16.-Mrs. Pitzel, the
wife Of the man said to have been kill
ed by Holmes, resides in this city at
6O36 Sangamon street. She is very III
now and barely able to talk, but con-
sented to q short interview tonight.
She said:
"Of course I know nothing about the
matter, as l have no means OF acquir-
ing any information. l have no doubt
that all my family have been killed,
and I never expect to see any Of them
again. l made up my mind long ago
that they were dead and the news irons
Toronto is no surprise to me. l be-
lieve that the boy was murdered also. y
Mrs. Pitzel is too Ill to leave her
room and the shock of the news Of the
finding of the two bodies has greatly
weakened her.

Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, July 16.-An-
other chapter in the noted L. B. Bus
kirk contempt case was ended to-day,
and Buskirk was released from Jail.
Buskirk was fined $500 and costs for
contempt, and upon advice of his coun-
sci. Hon. John A. Hutchinson, he re-
fused to pay the fine and was sent to
jail by Judge Jackson. Last night his
attorney made application before Judge
Goff, at Clarksburg, for g writ Of ha-
beas corpus, which was granted, being
made returnable at the first day of the
November term Of the Circuit Court Of
appeals at Richmond. Va. Buskirk had,
in the meantime, been ordered TO give
a bond of 81 900 for his release, and tha
writ was served this morning and the
prisoner was taken before United States
Commissioner L. n. Tavenner, where he
gave the required band, with Charles
Brooks Smith as surety, and was re-
leased from Jail Buskirk left to-day
for his home in Logan county. The

Toledo O., July 16.-The business OF
the American Flint Glass Workers
convention is nearly enough finished to
show what the wage scale will be for
the next blast. Not all the trade COM
mittees have completed their wage lists
but the principal ones have finished.
Two of them, the chimney and prescrip-
tion, came in to-day. In both of these
branches an advance In wages is asked
for, the chimney branch wanting 10 per
cent. for gatherers and the reduction OF
moves in certain lines of chimneys,
which virtually means an advance, as
reduction in moves would increase the
cost of production. These demands Of
the chimney blowers will cut no figure
this year, however, for at Montreal the
chimney scale was signed by manufac-
turers and workers for two years, con-
sequently the new scale adopted by the
convention to-day does not take effect
until July 1st, 1896.
The prescription committee also
makes a demand for an increase
ON SEVERAL ARTICLES
in the list, but it is not absolute or
final, being left to the conference COM
mittee for endorsement. The confer
ence committee meets at Atlantic City
on the oath inst, and whether the in
crease isallowed or the scale of last year
accepted depends in a large measure
on the action on the wage question Ia
ken by the annual convention of the
United Green Glass Workers Associa-
ton of the United States and Canada,
now being held in Montreal. II the
green blowers ask for restoration OF
the green scale Of last year, the Flints
will press their demand for an advance
upon the manufacturers at the Atlantic
City conference Last year their scale
was reduced about II per cent, while
the Flints suffered a 10 per cent re-
duction The question Of an advance
was broached at the conference OF the
flint manufacturers and wOrkmen In
Pittsburg on June u, along with other
| requests, among which was proposed
rule to receive full cash settlement OF
wages every two weeks, but the manu-
faeturers. while unanimous In their
Willingness to grant the payment OF
wages every two weeks, voted down the
proposition for the restoration Of the
1893 scale, their
GROUND FOR OBJECTION
being that while the iron industry
showed signs OF improvement, glass,
particularly bottles had not improved;
that bottles were quoted as low as so,
% and 5 per cent. of. They said they
would gladly pay the advance if they
could. but the business would not allow
it this year. II is not anticipated that
there will be and trouble over this mat
ter
The paste mould committee reported
this afternoon, but no important
changes were made in this branch.
There will be no conference this year
in the chimney branch. Last years
business in this branch was fairly good.

false. The Fairbanks Scale Company

found that they gave the operator An
advantage of 800 pounds on a ton Mr..
Stein claims the scales are all right
and that they have been In use at the
mine for ten years. It is stated that II
the miners win this suit all Of them will
enter suits for damages. Some Of the
men have been working at this mine
for twenty years and their claims VIII
amount to $1,000 apiece.
