Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1897-05-23

News came from Pittsburg yesterday,
and was rapidly circulated among local
glass workers, that the lo1g strike of
the American Flints was at an end, and
that the men were at liberty TO return
to work. There was lack Of data as
TO the terms arrived at, if any, or wheth
er it was fiat declaration that the end
of the strike had been reached without
any terms or concessions at all, but the
fact that the war has come TO any sort
Of end will be received by many glass
workers with great satisfaction.
The original dispute was over the
unlimited turn and of the seven
thousand five hundred members Of the
Union. about two thousand, incluring
all the members employed at the old
Central and Hobbs works, in this city,
went out. This cut off the wage-earn-
ings Of hundreds of Wheeling men, but
they submitted without murmur, and
for about three years not one of them
did days work in a glass factory,
while at least half of the total number
have yet to handle an ounce of glass.
When the Central factory was purchas-
ed by the local company and started,
many of the old employees took posi-
tions upon a strictly union basis, but
the old Hobbs employees are still out in
the cold. with the most Indifferent pros
poets. In many other places the story
was the same, and it is computed that
the strike cost the Union. in wages lost
and benefits paid, a round million dol
lars.
1t was reported yesterday that the
United States Glass Company, which
was the implacable enemy of the Union
throughout the contest, would rein
state a large number of men, but this
scarcely applies to this city, as there is,
apparently, not the remotest probable
ity that the United States Company will
ever reopen the South Wheeling works,
and an article in another column bears
this out.

still intends to form a local company OF
volunteers to go to Cuba and enlist III
the insurgent army. It will be remem-
bered that Mr. Heck was organizing a
company last winter, but gave mp his
plans temporarily owing TO the fact that
until this government recognized the
belligereacy of the Cuban insurgents 1t
would be a violation of our neutrality
laws to- enlist volunteers in this coun-
try. The Spanisl counsel heard of Mr..
Heck's plans and sent him a warning
TO stop or else prosecution would fol-
low. Yesterday he declared his pur-
pose to form a company just as soon as
The Cubans were recognized by this
country and start for Cuba. Capt Heck
served five years in the regular army
and is we'll posted in military tactics.
He is employed as a skilled workman at
Wood Bros. planning mill. AS he is
alone in the world and has no person
dependent upon him, he says he would
give I'D his position in a minute and
fight for Cuba'S cause, providing he
could do so without violating the law.
His only motive is a desire to get a
little glary and a sympathy for the
Cuban people in their struggle for lib
erty. He states that he has received
hundreds of letters from all parts OF
the country from persons who are anX-
ious to so with him. and thinks he
could easily raise a company of hun
drer men in this locality.

SHOOK & cos OPENING.

Yesterday Messrs. Geo. NJ. Shook &
Co. formally opened their new addition
to the public. and large crowds of buy
ers thronged the store day and even
ing. attracted by the low prices which
are being made in the new room for
one week. This firm now occupies a
ground floor space of 1924 square feet,
in addition to two upstairs departments,
making it the largest dry goods store
in the State. Everything being on the
ground floor makes it extremely con-
venient for buyers, as there are no
stairs or elevators TO ascend. Five
large show windows afford an ever
changing panorama Of the stores re
sources. The new window is one Of
the largest in the city. II measures
12x20 feet. The class Of merchandise
carried by Messrs. Shook e Co. is noted
far and near for its superiority of style
and quality, and is specially adapted

terprise is worthy Of liberal encourage
ment.

IRREGULARITIES.
Samuel Flake, the New BenwOod
Assessor, In Making the Annual
Assessment Discovers Some Start
ling Irregularities Made by His
PredeceSsOr--Did Not Assess the
Street Car Barn or the BOgg'S Run
Mine, but Assessed Church Pro
perty.

Samuel Blake. the new BenwOod as
SCISSOR. is busily engaged in making the
annual assessment Of personal and real
property in Benwood. He has complet-
ed the assessment Of the First ward and
q part of the Second. Mr.. Blake says
that since he commenced his work he
has made discoveries of irregularities
which are nothing short OF startling.
Ii will be remembered that it was be-
cause Of this fact that Mr.. Blake was
elecsed to succeed the previous assessor,
whose Office was declared vacant In
making the last years assessment Mr..
Blake SAYS that he found that the as
sesOr did not assess the street car barns
of the Wheeling Railway Company nor
the properly of the Boggs Run Min
ing Company. These he assessed, the
first at $4,000. and the latter at $4,000.
Both of these instances of official
neglect Of duty occurred in the First
ward. He states that many people
were not assessed at all, and it is charg-
ed that this was done for partisan rea-
sons. In the second ward he found
that the ground upon which the Meth
OGlSJ OlOICN property SlduOS Hdu USt"
assessed as three lots belonging to the
estate of Michael Reilly, when the fact
of the matter was this ground was not
owned by the Reilly estate, but by the
church congregation, and is exempt
from taxation. The mistake occurred,
undoubtedly. by taking the assessment
from the old land books. The council
committee on finance is waiting until
Mr.. Blake completes his assessment be
fore they make an examination OF the
affairs of the former assessor. 1t is
stated that the previous assessor still
holds the assessment books, and refuses
to give them up At the last meeting
Of council a motion was made and car
ried to get the books by legal process
if they could be obtained by no other.
