CENIRAL REFUSES

The oGnr OF the National Glass Com-
pany-oRered 100000 Cash and
Other Considerations for Wheels
ing's Successful Glass Plan.
Yesterday morning at the Ofices Of
the Central Glass Company, in the
East End. special meeting of the
stockholders OF the company was held.
The cali for the meeting did not state
Its purpose. but 1t was understood by a
number Of the stockholders that an Of
fer from the National Glass Company
Cthe tableware combined would be
placed before the stockholders for their
consideration.
The meeting organized by electing
Mr.. John Frew chairman. The offer Of
the National was presented by officials
Of the company. In effect the offer is
$4,000 cash for the plant. the deal to
be consummated September /, and the
Central folks to retain the stock on
hand and the book accounts. The
stock and book accounts would prob
ably amount to 10000 or $4,000, so that
the consideration would be between
$4,000 and 100000, The offer was
discussed at considerable length. and
eventually resulted in It's rejection by a
vote Of SIS to 207.
on the basis OF the Nationals offer
for the Central its stock is worth in
the neighborhood of 100. Recent sales
have been between 90 and 100. The
company's capitalization is &i25,OOO.
The opposition to the proposed deal
was strengthened by the centrals ex-
perience when 1t was bought up by the
United States Glass Company several
years ago. In that deal United States
stock figured largely and cash very lit
tie. Soon after its contamination the
plant was closed down. and 1t did not
resume until about three years ago,
when popular movement resulted in
Wheeling people buying back the plant
and putting 1t in operation, since which
1t has been run steadily and with sue
cess.
1t is said another effort to effect the
deal will be made, but the sentiment
against any move that will bring about
repetition of the disastrous Central
United States deal is SO strong that 1t
is believed the Central will remain In
dependent.
The National recently acquired the
Crystal glass works, at Bridgeport,
and is now negotiating for the River
side at wellsburg for the second time,
Its first proposition having been reject
ed by the stockholders.

which is to take place Sunday. Twenty
Of these are engaged In digging the
immense hole, where the artificial lake
is to be, ten are engaged in wiring the
grounds for the electrical display, ten
are hard at work clearing the grounds
of weeds and trimming the trees, ten
are making tables and benches and
the remaining ten are painting.
1t was a busy scene that was pre-
scented to the reporter who visited the
park yesterday. The artificial lake is
situated where the old fountain for
merly stood, and here several carts are
kept busy hauling away the dirt that
comes out of the big hole. 1t Is calcu-
lated that by o'clock to-day the hole
will be complete, measuring thirty feet
square and ten feet deep. A connec-
ton with the water supply pipe has
been made. and all that remains 10 to
cement the sides, and bottom and fill
1t with water.
It is into tbs lake that Prof. Barnes
famous diving elks, three In number,
will make their headlong plunge from
tower fifty feet high. and those who
have seen the show IN Pittsburgh dur
ing the past two weeks say 1t Is the
best and most novel performance ever
presented to the public. The dive made
by the adult, Rlnglette, Is beautiful,
and those made by tho two baby elksr
from what Prof. Barnes terms the kin
dergarten tower. thirty feet high, are
marvellous. Besides the diving elks
Prof. Barnes will Introduce his cele-
brnted trained horse. Trixle, in many
wonderful feats.
The management Of Pleasant Valley
Park have engaged Melster's band for
a continuous concert Sunday, commenc-
ing at o'clock In the afternoon, and
continuing until midnight The park
will be brilliantly lighted by electric
lights at night, and no expense will be
spared to make 1t one Of the most at
tractlve resorts In this section OF the
country.
The diving elks will be the attraction
every evening next week. and matlnees
will be given on Sunday. Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday afternoon
Every evening, except Sunday, dancing

vance until the wage scale was settled,
as the amount OF the advance in wages
would cut a very important figure in
