Church Yesterday
At the st. James German Lutheran
church on Chapline street yesterday,
the annual Harvest Festival or Ger
man style of Thanksgiving. was OBJ
served with very appropriate services
in the morning and evening. The in
terror of the edifice was artstically
decorated for the occasion with fruits.
vegetables, flowers and potted plants
of various species, pine, corn stalks
and American golden rod, presenting
an admirable appearance. The cere-
monies, which were under the conduct
of the pastor, Rev. A. w. Werder, were
of an interesting and impressive ma
ture and were attended by large con-
gregations. At the conclusion OF the
festival, arrangements were made to
donate the fruits and vegetables to the
deserving INDECENT class of people liy-
ing in the city.

often necessary, and yet war and pesti-
lence make death more common and
thus makes murder more common and
cheapens human life. When murder is
looked upon as the highest possible
crime, and death the penalty for it's
commitment, then he who would COM
init it will more seriously consider the
step and its disgraceful results. The
number of this class of criminals will
be lessened. The laxness in the coun-
ty over this subject, the mawkish sent
iment men have been and are express
ing concerning the abolishing of the
death penalty is already cheapening
human life. The natural result of en-
forcing this law will place higher value
upon human life. An observer says
that after trying different criminal pen
alties in France and China, anything
but capital punishment has been fall
ure.
The Scriptures teach and favor CAPT
tai punishment.
Whose sheddeth mans blood. by
man shall his blood be shed" Gen.
9:6. This is law uttered before Moses
was born. 1t is not peculiar to any
dispeAsation. The reason for the death
penalty is given in the text: For in
the image of God made he man." Just
so long as that reason remains, just so
long must the principle Of capital pun
ishment stand. The cities of refuge
spoken of in Numbers, 35th chapter.
clearly teach the death penalty. Paul
in Acts 25:11, plainly intimates that
he believed there was a crime worthy
of death, and if found guilty he was
willing to take the consequences. Let

A PAINFUL MISHAP.

Harry Beiswenger was injured pain
fully in an accident at the Riverside
mill at Benwood last night about ten
o'clock. He was engaged in his work
in one of the departments of the plant,
when he was struck violently on the
head by a piece of iron. He sustained
bad wound on his scalp as a result.
DR.. Alley, who was summoned prompt
ly, rendered the necessary medical aid.
Later the injured man was taken to his
home. Mr.. Beiswenger is one of the
oldest employees of the Riverside. The
injuries will cause him to be laid up
for quite a while.

Last Evening After a Weeks
Outing-School Opens This Morn
ing.

The Linsly Institute battalion broke
camp at Camp Birch last evening. All the
cadets would have liked to have stayed
another week, but the fact that the
school opens to-day made the dissolution
of the camp compulsory.
AT 3 o'clock p. M. yesterday, services
were conducted by the Rev. Jacob Brit
tingham, rector of St. Luke's P. E.
church, in the presence of a large number
of visitors.
At o'clock camp was broken and the
boys returned to the city by special car
over the Wheeling and Elm Grove rail-
road.
Prof. John NJ Birch, ex-principal of the
institution, was a guest at the camp all day
yesterday.
The school opens this morning at 9
O'clock, with the largest enrolment at
any one time for the past three years. The
outlook for the institution this year is very
bright

THE RESOLUTIONS
BELLAIRE. o.. September

BEi-LAtFtE, u, september Ii, lSyy.
Whereas, Certain individuals, assuming
to represent the sentiment of organized
labor of the Wheeling Trades Assembly
and the Ohio Valley, have issued state
ment in connection with the late street car
strike, in which a malicious attack is
made on the Belmont Central Trades and
Labor Union and also rejecting on the in
tegrity of Brother T. L. Lewis and a num-
Der of representatives of the B. c. I. &
L. L.
Resolved, That we regard with contempt
all such efforts made to disrupt the forces
of organized labor in the Ohio valley, and
that we believe that such efforts are being
made wholly and solely for personal and
political ends, and not in the interests of
the laboring classes.
Resolved, That we are proud to assume
our full share of the responsibility con-
nected with the settlement of the street car
strike ftFefred to and we believe it to be
the best solution of the hopeless conditions
brought about by the persons who now
take upon themselves the vicious work of
belittling the honest purposes and inten-
lions of the great masses of labor in this
neighborhood.
Resolved, That we denounce and con-
brother T. l.. Lewis, and the representa-
tives of this central labor union: and we,
representing the organized labor OF Bel
mont county. repose in r. L. Lewis and
the representatives o. this central body
our absolute confidence.
Resolved. That in the future we shall
ignore all such petty practices as being be-
meath the dignity of organized labor.
By order of the
BELMONT CENTRAL TRADES AND
LABOR UNION.
On motion of Delegate Carlos Leath
erwood the resolutions were unani
mously adopted
A committee Of three was appointed
to see to tile printing and distribution
of the circular TO which is to be ap-
pended the statement made by the
Central Union four weeks ago.
In the discussion whieh preceded
the appointment OF the committee, one
delegate in making statement, said
that one of the circulars that had been
sent out by the O. V. t. & L. A. had
been sent back to him from Newark,
O., by friend, which was given as
an evidence OF their widespread dis
trbution.

There appears to be liz, tie doubt but
the Crystal glass works, at Bridgeport,
and the West Virginia plant, at Mar
tins Ferry, will, within the next few
days or weeks at most, become the
property of the National Glass Com
pany. Everything indicates that this
will be the final outcome of the nego-
tiations which have been in progress
for the past four months, although there
is an obvious lack of definite informa-
ton at hand upon the part of the local
manufacturers. One of these yesterday
said to the Register:
eve have nothing definite from Pitts
burg as yet, but we are expecting
something at any time. 1t is possible
the deal will be virtually closed this
week, although, as | told you, | have
nothing definite upon which to base an
opinion. All the appraisement5 have
been made and are upon the most part
satisfactory, although there are a few
points yet awaiting final adjustment.
l think you will not miss it if you say
both the West Virginia and Crystal
will be absorbed by the first of next
month
1t is understood the Crystal goes in
at 1892, 900, which is a handsome price
vybar II ic ranol1ao+od +bo+ +I,o orio;pal
cost of the plant was something like
$4,000. The par value of the shares
is $50, but this will bring their selling
price up to $135. 1t must be under
stood, however, that the plant has been
greatly improved since falling into the
hands of the present management, and
its productive capacity has been WON
derfully increased. The good will of
the concern is also valued at no small
figure. Less than one-third of the APP
praised value of the plant is to be
taken in stock
1t is given out that the West Vir-
ginia glass house will go in at $4,000,
one-third of which is to be paid in
stock and the balance in cash.
There is a difference of opinion as
whether or not the combine can be
made a success without the co-opera-
ton of the United States factories. 1t
is thought, however, that there will be
an understanding batwaap fbo trrO oor
porations that will avoid friction in
their trade relations.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1899-09-18

The Commoner and Glassworker, af-
Ter discussing the tableware deal at
some length and intimating that the
thing may not yet be a go, concludes
thus:
THE promoters say the combine will
be ready to take charge of affairs by
October l. For time at lea1t the pres
ent owners will have charge Of their re-
spective plants.
The fact that the best plants in the
trade are outside and that there are
more outsiders now than on the oeca-
sion of the forced change Of the scheme
twice before, makes it out Of the ques-
ton that even if this deal goes as
claimed, it can control the market or
prices

The Belmont Central Trades and La
Dor Union met in regular session yes
terday afternoon. The features of the
meeting were the resolution drawn, up
and ordered sent to the labor organi-
cations throughout the county to coun-
teract the influence of the statements
lately issued at the Wheeling Assem-
bly, in which T. l.. Lewis and Others
were sharply criticised for their action
in the settlement CT the street car
strike. AS will be seen by the resolu-
tons appended, the attacks. upon Lewis
are resented with spirit and it remains
to be seen if the controversy will be
dropped with this final sally from the
Belmont delegation.
The union was called to order at
2:30 o'clock by President G. A.
James, and Secretary C. H. Smith call
ed the roll which was responded to by
26 delegates and officers.
Minutes of the previous meeting
We're read and adopted.
Credentials of Geo. Rodewfg and
Geo. Upperman, from Local No. 26 A.
F. G. w. u, of Bellaire, were read and
delegates obligated.
Delegate Carlos Leatherwood, from
Milkmen's Local No. 1852, of Martins
Ferry, was also obligated.
The committe ON picnic was not yet
able to make a final report owing to
the fact that credits and debts had not
yet been tabulated
Chairman Ed. Parsons, of the organi-
zation committee, reported that he had
formed the butchers of Martins Ferry
and Bridgeport into local branch of
the A. F. of L. and that a charter had
been sent for. The report was re-
ceived and commended.
Communication from D. A. No. 8,
knights of Labor of Pittsburg, with the
object of removing alleged boycott on
Pittsburg beer was read and filed.
Under the head of welfare OF the
Union" Delegate Jno. A. Moore
brought up the question of the circulars
recently issued by the Ohio Valley
Trades Assembly. Said he, 81 am not
in favor of letting this matter pass
unnoticed. Where the B. C. T. & l.. w.
is known and its position in the recent
strike is understood it can do us no
harm, but these circulars have been
sent broadcast and they should be
combatted before the organized labor of
the Ohio Valley and elsewhere"
Delegate Ed. Parsons denounced the
circular in strong terms and charact-
erized the statements as lies. He was
in favor of a committee being appoint
ed to formulate reply and moved
that seven members be appointed for
the purpose, this committee being fin
ally increased to nine. A motion to go
into executive session was voted down
and the committee retired.
Presently the committee re-appeared
and reported as follows:
