800 during the past week. There is still con-
siderable agitation by the independent con-
Germs, which wish to resume operations he
fore the time set by the American Glass
Company and the blowers and gatherers'
committees, but it SIS thought improbable
that anything will result from it. The
Christina cooperative factory at Whining

announced this week that it would recug-
nize the L. A. 300 scale and not begin be-
fore Sept. o. The report that the Wells
boro, Pa, house would start one furnace
Sept. l is without foundation, and the in
dependents of the gas belt authorized the
American Glass Company and the blowers
and gatherers' committees to settle the
scale for Them 1t is therefore thought that
the talk of the Independent owners starting
early is only for effect with the workmen

LUsE A MARTYR.
Nursed Chaplain Medbury and Then
Soon Died.

Warren Luse Company III, of Angola,
ed-and-fifty-seventh Regiment,
who brought Chaplain Medbury home from
Fernandina, is dead from typho-malarial
fever. Chaplain Medbury is improving"
The Journal received the above dispatch
from Angola yesterday. The news had
reached the Observation-Disclosures ty-seventh
Regiment in the evening, and it brought sad
ness to Company H and everyone in the reg
Iment who had known Private Lyse. "Luse
Is martyr, said Lieutenant 'Garstang,
who Is now in command of the regimental
hospital and the medical corps. Tine news
Of the death of Luse from the fever con-
yinces. me that when he left Fernandina he
was full of the disease, and should
have been in the hospital. He concealed
this from us, and gave up his life to nurse
the chaplain on his way home"
Luse was Chaplain Medbury's cousin. Be
cause of this his love for the chaplain was
probably stronger than that of any other
boys and their officers almost worship the
good man who worked for their comfort
night and day in the fever-stricken camps
Of Florida. When the chaplain was brought
down with the fever, Lieutenant Garstang
ordered him home, and said he must have
an attendant Chaplain Medbury introduced
his cousin, Warren Luse, to the lieutenant.
Luse was a healthy-looking young man,
and he succeeded in ccncealing from
suffering from the disease which killed
besides himself fifteen other members
of the regiment. He went on the train with
the chaplain and worked at his bedside
night and day on the trip to Angola. All
this time the fever was slowly closing in
on the attendant. That he knew his cond-
tion Is a certainty This is one of the sad
dest deaths the regiment has suffered from.
The funeral of Iuse is set for tomorrow
afternoon. Captain Gilbert, of the Angola
company. hopes the paymaster will arrive
in time to allow the company to be fur
Laughed and to get away, to Angola by

funeral postponed Until Wednesday after
