A SATISFACTORY PRICE
Placed Upon the Old Hobbs Glass
Works by the United States Go.

HON. N. B. SCOTT HAS SECURED
AN OPTION FOR THIRTY DAYS
AT THE FIGURES OF s52,500.
AND DEEMS THE AMOUNT A
REASONABLE ONE-WILL PRO-
CEED TO ORGANIZE A COM
PANY. AND ASKS THE COOPER
ALTON OF THE BUSINESS MEN
OF THE CITY, AND PARTICU-
LARLY OF THE SOUTH SIDE
The outlook for the starting of the
old Hobbs glass works. in the Eighth
ward, is a bright one, and within
week or ten days, at the farthest, 1t is
hoped to have the matter take definite
shape.
Yesterday Hon. N. B. Scott received a
communication from the United States
Glass Company, fixing a price for the
Hobbs plant, the figures named being
$50, 800. This price does not include
two presses and few cutting stones,
aggregating in value probably $500,
and is also exclusive of three lots OF
ground north of Thirty-sixth street.
Mr.. Scott was seen at the Mcclure
House last evening about half-past
nine o'clock, and although in the midst
of his social duties in connection with
the reception to Senator and Mrs. Elk
ms, talked for a few minutes about the
offer. Among other things he said:
Il consider the price named by the
United States Company u reasonable
one, and the figures will commend
themselves to glass men and business
men as they do to me. | am wiling
to take hold of the matter, and as soon
as the weather permits my going out
perhaps in day or two-I shall pre-
pare a subscription paper, and trust
that our people will back me up in the
attempt to put in operation a plant
which will pay from $4,000 to $4,000 in
wages every two weeks. l think South
Side people in particular should rally
to the support of this enterprise, which
will mean more for them than any 9TH
er section of the city. There are men
of means down there whose aid l con-
fidently count upon, as we'll as those
in other portions of the city. l shall
give the matter my individual support,
and hope that others will do likewise.
l think the price named is satisfac-
tory one, and now is our chance to take
hold of the enterprise"
There is every indication that Mr..
Scott will have hearty support in this
effort, and as the option he has secured
runs for thirty days, there is ample
time to get the company proposed to be
organized on its feet.

One of the largest and most bril-
liant receptions of the year, was given
in the parlors of the Mcclure House
last night, by Senator and Mrs. N. b.
Scott, in compliment to Senator and
Mrs. Stephen B. Elkins, who were
their guests for two days. The affair
was elaborate in all its appointments,
and in spite of the inclemency of the
weather, was complete success. The
beautiful parlor and reception room OF
the hotel, and the handsome corridor
on the second floor, were very taste
fully embellished with ported palms
and exoties, and there was a lavish
display Of smilax and flowers.
The hours Of the reception were
from eight until eleven, and the guests
began to arrive soon after the first
mentioned hour They were received
by Senator and Mrs Scott and intro
duced to the distinguished senior Sen
ator from West Virginia, and his es-
Unable wife. While this was in pro
gress the Opera House Orchestra, sta
toned in the corridor, rendered pro-
gram of popular selections. The guests
INDUCED in promenading and in social
conversation. In the ordinary delec-
table luncheon was served during the
evening.
