A BOTTLE TRUST.
All the Flint Manufacturers Except
About Five Per Cent, Are in a
Organization---Price Go Up.

PITTSBURG, Pa, December 10.-The
Commoner and Glass Worker will say to-
morrow:
A close organization of the American
flint bottle manufacturers has been per-
fected and will assume control of the
flint bottle trade of the country within a.
week or two. Fully 50 per cent of the flint
bottle manufacturers of the country are
in the new organization, which will be
styled the American Flint Bottle Manu-
facturers' Association, with headquarters
very probably at indianapolis. l..
Woodbridge, of Bellaire, O., late of the
Bellaire Window Glass Company, of Red
Key. Ind, has been appointed actuary of
the association.
The promoters of the new organization
are president Clifton H. Beach, of the
Salisbury Bottle Works Company, limited,
who is president of the association and its
executive board; George w. Yost of the
Bellaire Bottle Company, and r. f. Breed
of the Marion Flint Glass Company, who
were chief factors in the formation of
the association perfected about a year ago.
The new organization is the outcome of
much hard work on the part of these
gentlemen.
Practically all the flint bottle concerns
in the country union and non-union, are
in the new organization.
In its plan the new organization is much
like the American Glass Company the
new window glass combine.
AS a direct result Of the formation there
has been an advance of 10 per cent on fnit
bottles, and it is being well maintained.

DYING IN NEW YORK.

Cuban Refugees, Driven from the Island
by Weyler's Cruel Policy, suffer Severe
Hardships.
New York, December 10.-The Jour-
nal and Advertiser says:
Weyler's policy of determination that
he called Recommendation, has result
ed in an enormous influx of Cubans into
New York. Hundreds, if not thousands
of them are dying of hunger here. The
number of these refugees are variously
estimated at from 10000 to 10000, Per-
haps the great majority are absolutely
without means There are men and wo-
men among them who were worth
hundreds Of thousands of dollars before
the war began, but who are now penni-
less. Some of these are working as
walters, porters, or seamstresses.
Emilio Emogrante, President Of the
Burti Charity Association, says that
many of them have actually died from
starvation, and that the majority have
preferred to live quietly in misery
rather than let their desperate wants
be known to those who could help them,
but who have in the past known them
to be people of wealth, influence and re-
finement.

All Amendments offered to Rectify Abuses
Rejected by the Majority


Rejected by the Majority
Washington, December 1O.-The
House to-day passed the pension ap-
preparation bill without amendment
and adjourned until Monday. The
amendments offered by the Democrats
to correct alleged existing abuses were
all ruled out on the point of order that
they were new legislation.

wide range. 1t touched not only the
question of our pension policy but
that of civil service reform and the
receipts and expenditures of the

the latter question, Mr.. Dingley made
an important statement, in which he
expressed the opinion that the re-
ceipts would equal the expenditures
before the close Of the present fiscal
year and predicted a surplus of $10,-
100000 next year. The civil service
law was savagely attacked by several
members, notably by Mr. Brown,
(Rep., Ohio, and Mr.. Linney, (Rep.,
N. c., and was warmly defended by
Mr.. Johnson, (Rep., Ind. Just be-
fore the close Of the session Mr.. Hit,
chairman of the foreign affairs COM
consent for the passage of the bill to
prohibit pelagic sealing by American
citizens, but objection was made. 1t

Allender, of San Jose, was hanged at
San Quentin penitentiary at 10: 80
O'Clock this morning for the murder
of Miss Wallbergen Fielmer and Va
nanzi Crozetti, August 9, 1896. While
the murderer's neck was broken by the
drop of six feet, life was not pro-
nounced extinct until thirteen min
uteS later. Allender was extremely
nervous and when the moose was adj
justed, tottered to such an extent that
it was necessary to support him. He
made no statement The execution
was witnessed by about 35 newspaper
men and doctors.
Allender's crime was revolving one
and was prompted by jealousy. He
was infatuated with Miss Wallberge
Fielmer, an intelligent, industrious girl
of irreproachable character, who re-
pulsed him and became betrothed to
Vinanzi Crossetti, an Italian black
smith, about "a years of age. After
having repeatedly threatened the cou-
pie, Allender met them walking to-
gether along Third street, San Jose,
on the afternoon of august 10, 1898.

tempted to pass him, Allender drew a
revolver and shot her III the neck.
She fell to the sidewalk and Allender
then fired again, killing her as she lay
at his feet.
CrOssetti attempted to arrest and
disarm the murderer, but Allender
turned his pistol upon him and shot
him in the abdomen, infiicting fatal
wound. Allender then ran away and
attempted to commit suicide, but
tainted after slightly wounding him
self and was arrested before he re-
covered from the swoon. The muir
derer was a carpenter, 80 years of age.
When placed on trial Allender tried
to establish the plea of insanity, but
was convicted and sentenced to be
hanged. After an unsuccessful at
tempt to appeal to the State Supreme
Court, he was sentenced to be hanged
on September 2 last, but his attorney
appealed to the Supreme Court of the
United States upon the grounds relied
upon in the Durrant case, thus staying
the execution of sentence. On Novem,
Der 2 last, however, the Supreme Court
dismissed the appeal and six days later
Allender was again sentenced to be
hanged.

to the office of Chief Justicesof the

trust he will be appointed as there
are few persons SO we'll qualified to
properly perform the duties of that

staunch Republican and man of
high personal character and worth.
He has practically the unanimous
endorsement of the bar and people

now that he will be our next Chief
Justice.
