French and Belgian Glass workers to
Leave Arnold, PA.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Nov. N.-The French
and Belgian glass workers at Arnold. Pa.
near here, met last night and decided to go
to Washington and join the Debs Social
Democracy. On March 1 next eighty-four
men will leave, and about month later
the entire colony of nearly six hundred per-
sons will follow. The workmen complain
that here in the East the glass industry is
so uncertain and the market so fluctuating
that they are working only about half the
year, and so average no better wages than
they made in the old country On the
Western coast they think they would have
an absolutely new field, and the materials
for glass manufacture abound there. The
glass workers all have some money each
of them having saved up from $500 to 81 900,
and it is their plan to put their individual
savings into a large four-tank cooperative
glass plant

ard, seventy-six years old, who is supposed
to have been at one time rich ship build
err was found dead this afternoon in his
room in a Raines-law hotel on West Forty
fourth street, death having doubtless been
due to old age. Blanchard, about whom
there has lately been much mystery, had
occupied room at the cheap hotel since
July, 1886. He always seemed to have plen-
ty of money, and wore custom-made cloth
ing and shoes. He was visited several times
by a richly-dressed young woman, believed
to be his daughter who came in a liveried
carriage. The letters which the old man
occasionally received were in envelopes of
the most expensive hotels in this city.
Blanchard was very reticent about himself,
but in conversation one day he dropped the
fact that he had built and owned ships.
Among his effects in the hotel was found
quantity of silver plate. The police are
deavoring to find the mysterious old mans
relatives
