ING THE COMING
SPRING.
MANY DONATIONS RECEIVED
By the Rf. Rev. Bishop j. A. Dona-
hue for the Proposed New House.
1t VIII BE Commensurate to the

Rt. Rev. Bishop Donahue was very
much astonished as well as much
gratified by receiving in the same
mail yesterday three checks, each in
the sum of one hundred dollars, as
contributions to the contemplated new
house. During the past two or three
weeks he has been receiving smaller
sums. proving that interest in the pro-
ject is beginning to stir up. The three
checks were all from within the limits
Of the diocese. The names of the gem
erou donors will be given later. The
Bishop has also received a number of
plans by way of suggestion for the new
residence. 1t is proposed to commence
operations in the spring and to build
a house commensurate to the needs of
this rapidly growing See. In February
Bishop Donahue will preach in all the
prominent pulpits of the Baltimore
churches in aid of the diocese OF
Wheeling.

The Riverside Matter.

The members of the Chamber of Com
merce should turn out in full force at
the meeting called for the coming week,
and give their serious and earnest at
tention to the various items of bust
ness awaiting attention. One of the
most important of these is the obsta-
cles placed in the way of the projected
increase of the Riverside plant of the
National Tube Company by a few self
ish individuals, who have no care for or
interest in the general welfare OF the
community, but only seek, if possible,
to feather their own nests. Such action
should be taken by the business men
of the city as will result in the assur-
ance Of the improvement, which will
double the present capacity Of the Riv-
erside, and pave the way for still
greater things to come. If plans now
projected can be carried out by the
company it will mean the employment
of 1900 additional hands, with a cor
responding increase in the pay roll.
This will make business for merchants
in all lines of trade, a demand for
houses, and a general boom all along
the line. The Chamber of Commerce
of this city can not afford to let this
matter go by default. Every member
should consider himself a committee
of one to see that there is a big meet
ing.

NEW YORK, December S0.-The
squall in Wall street has come and
gone, and the atmosphere is much the
clearer for it. 1t marked the culmina-
ton of a long period of liquidation
which began with the death of Gov
ernor Flower. His decease deprived
the market of its most magnetic and
aggressive leader; and, while many
stocks reached their highest figures
subsequently, yet the bull market then
received its first serious setback and
the upward movement of prices thence
forth became more cratic and less pro-
nounced. Speculation for the rise,
however, continued with more or less
vigor; particularly in the industrials,
until checked by the pinch in the
money market which resulted in last
weeks panic. The effect of that liqui-
dation is best seen in the following
comparison. of the highest prices of the
year with the lowest December Is:

Glass Factories Start Up.

PITTSBURG, Pa, December 30.-All
of the factories controlled by the Amer
lean Window Glass Company were
started up to-day. The company will
operate at present 1920 pots. The
three large tanks at Cleveland and Ell
mira, n. Y, and Bridgeton, N. j., will
not be operated this fire. The PLAN
lately purchased from the Bradford
Glass Company, at Hazelhurst, Pa, may
not be operated by the combination on
account of legal troubles growing out
of an unsatisied judgment obtained by
the Window Glassworkers' Association
against the Bradford Glass Company
for failure to give its workmen the
customary seven days notice before the
close of the factory.
A well known glass manufacturer
states that the estimated production for
the coming fire of five and one-half
months will be that of $3.50 pots. OF
this number the American Window
Glass Company controls 1920 pots,
leaving 1,21S pots in the hands Of the
independents. The production will be
limited by the scarcity of blowers.
