A NEW WARE
Discovered at East Liverpool Which May
Kevolutionize the Pottery Trade.

Kevolutionize the Pottery Trade.
Special to the Register.
East Liverpool, o., July 26.-Henry
Carl Dangler, young Frenchman,
formerly employed in the Haviland
and Limoges factories in France, has
produced a new ware which may revo-
lutionize the pottery industry. In
stead CT being fired in two kilns, the
first as green CT Biscuit ware" and
the second after it has gone through
the glaze, tho young foreigner has
mixed a body which is only fired once.
He has experimental three years on the
new process, and last week put through
half kiln of his new ware. The sam
pies produced are as beautiful as trans
lucent china.
BY going through only one instead OF
two kilns, the second firing and the ex-
ira labor-twenty-five per cent. of the
cost outside of the ma,erials-could be
saved. The ingredients and chem!-
Gals for the glaze are mixed IN the
body by the new process, instead Of the
ware being dipped in the glaze after
the first fring-which now involves
two distinct finishing processes.
Dangler will build a pottery al Bal
timore with foreign capital. Manu-
facturers concede the success Of the in
yention.

WILL GO TO WORK.
Many Iron and Steel Firms Have
Signed the Amalgamated Scale, and
the Plants Will Resume To-Day.

PTTTSBURG, July 26.-To-mcrrow will
occur the beginning of a resumption of
iron mills, which will soon put to work at
least 1900 idle men. It is estimated that
at least that number are interested in the
settlement of the wage scale with the Ohio
manufacturers at Youngstown Saturday
night.
The success of the ANA gamated Asso-
citation in making the wage settlements
it has effected means. too. that the men
employed in non-union mills will get an
advance in their wages, and that their
employers will sign agreements TO pay
them union prices. This comes as near a
recognition of the union as the men are
contending for at the present time. The
conference was with the Ohio association,
but plants in several othe~ States will be
started under the agreement
The firms who signed the scale are as fol-

THE FLOOD AT MANNINGTON.
DELAYED Correspondence Which Details
the Havoc of Friday-The Loss Sloo'-

Warrington, w. Va, July 2o.-lhe
recent heavy rains in this vicinity caused
one of the greatest floods here to-day
that has been known for many years.
Our town. being situated at the JuncC-oh
of Payles Fork and Buffalo creeks, re-
csived the full impetus Of the RAIN from
alI over the country, and the water be-
gan rapidly to raise in the forenoon, ana
kent steadily increasing until two o'clock
in the afternoon, covering the main
streets of the town and forcing many
merchants and families 10 move their
goods TO quarters beyond the destructive
waters.
Several buildings were flooded from
their foundations by the rushing waters,
and the damage done, while its extent
can not be accurately estimated, will
reach over $150,000. The loss OF the
Burt tannery will alone reach over half
that amount. and numerous other losses.
in the way of damage to buildings and
loss TO mercantile establishments viii
make the sure total of the havoc very
heavy one TO the town. Some borough
property was badly damaged, and it will
take many days of repairing TO restore
everything TO proper shape.
The widest excitement reigned. The
waters gained in height so rapidly that
rude RATS were improvised to convey
families from buildings deemed unsafe.
Hundreds of people thronged the higher
portion of the town where the water did
not reach, and all business operations
were forcibly stopped. All the banks
closed at noon. The postotiice contents
were removed to place OF safety and
| the water was a foot deep on Market
street when it began to go down about
| three o'clock.
Pricetown and Smithfield, nearby
towns, were also sufferers, and the total
loss, when fully listed, will amout to an
enormous sum. While no lives were
lost, some received some very uncom-
Portable "duckings," but willing hands
were put forth to save them. No mail
trains arrived all day, after $3.50 p m
The worst is now over, but the town
presents a disastrous appearance. De-
bris is piled in confusion about the
thorOughfares, two oil tanks just above
the town are turned over, the floors OF
the mercantile establishments are cover
ed with mud, and altogether Mannig-

THE TAILORs' STRIKE.
The Men Met Yesterday and Resolved on
Fight to "A Finish.

u
New York, July 2G.-An all day meet
ing was held by the striking tailors oil
this city in Wallhaha hall to-day. Ad-
dresses were made by a number OF lead
ers and the situation was generally DIS
cussed. The substance of the remarks
made by the various speakers was to the
effect that no compromise with the con-
tractors should be made; that the strlk-
ers must stand firm and accept nothing
but victory. The fact that some or the
contractors who had in the past COM
batted the tailors have now joined hands
viii them is regarded by the leaders as
significant and is taken as an omen or
success fer the ta.lOrs in their conflict
for the entire abolition of the sweat shop
system, the increase Of the weekly
scale CT wages, and for a fixed weekly
toll standard of 50 hours. 1t is estimated
that fully 10000 hands are now idle on
account of the strike in this city and vi
cinity. Commissioner Charles l.. Phipps
chairman of the State Board of Arbi-
(tration. has visited the leaders on both
sides of the controversy and an effort is
now being made to induce all to arbi-
trate.
