Thieves are reported to be still at
work in McMechen. Early Sunday
morning three residences were ransack-
ed and lot of valuable articles taken,
as chronicled, and early Monday even
ing visitor in the town was held up by
two men.
Michael Shay, of Glovers' Gap, who is
employed in the oil fields near New
MartinsVille, visited friends in Nc
Mechen during Christmas day, and
while taking a stroll down the B. G. O..
railroad tracks was held up. 1t was
near the signal block station, at the
east end of the yards, that he was met
by two men, who demanded that he
hand over his money. Mr.. Shay was
reluctant to do so and his arm was
grasped by one Of the men. However,
Mr.. Shay succeeded in releasing him
self from his enemy's hold Immediately
and ran down the railroad as quickly as
he could. No time was lost by the two
men in starting out in pursuit, and the
Glovers' Gap man, perceiving their
movements. called for assis lance. After
covering a short distance the two men
dropped out of the chase and made
their way to the river bank, evidently
realizing that their game was spoiled.
Mrs. Martin Corners, several even
ings ago, so it is said, discovered
strange man in one of the apartments
of her residence, and at once made her
way out of the house and ran to the
home of a neighbor. The intruder is
thought to have gained entrance to the
residence by unlocking one of the doors
with a key. After he escaped it was
floor of the building had been ransack-
ed, but nothing of any considerable
value was missing. The place Is not
only being infested by a gang Of
thieves, but also by individuals OF
strange type known as peppers. Ac-
cording to reports in various parts Of
the town lately, men have been discov
cred using ladders for the purpose of
reaching the second story windows of
residences. During the past several
months thefts have frequently been re-
ported from the town, and thus far all
efforts to apprehend the guilty parties
has failed. All the cases are being in
vestigated by the authorities and ar
rests will very likely be made in few
days. AS mentioned, the tracks Of one
of the men who made a raid Sunday
morning, were followed by the marshal
and Jessie MARBLE to the home Of citi
zen in the heart of the town. 1t is
probable that the parties figuring in the
hold-up were implicated in the recent
robberies.

OLD BOTTLES.

Down on Canal street the selling of old
bottles is carried on daily, representing Il
business that amounts to many hundred
thousand dollars each year. There are in
Chicago today more than half a dozen
men who have made fortunes, one mar
alone being rated a millionaire, through
the selling of old bottles, say the Chi
cago News. Great warehouses;, five II
six stories high, are filled to the very
doors with a myriad of the glass recep-
tacles. The magnitude of this business
is demonstrated by the shipping each
year of three car loads of bottles to an
eastern company by one dealer. 1t is es-
timated hat at least 10 cars are sen
each year to this company by Chicago
secondhand bottle dealers.
The majority of the bottles come from
the garbage boxes and alleys. The bust
ness has been reduced to a science from
the time of finding the bottles to selling
them when the glass factories are closed
during the summer months.
One dealer said yesterday he carried a
stock of old bottles that were worth over
$1GO, 600 and that he could sell them all at
once, only it paid to hold them for the
rise in the glass market. The clubs. no.
tells and saloons furnish many of the bot
ties. Wagons call to collect the supply
each day. out this stock can be secured
only by paying the scale price. 1t is
from the housewife or the alley the har-
vest Is reaped. milk the old rag and
old iron man, the bottle man" does not
rend the air with his cries. AS the cast
offs are found they are dumped into bar
rels and are then turned over to 'sorters,"
who display wonderful deXterity in stack
ing bottles of one size. Each loor of a
warehouse is divided into districts, and
the different sizes and shapes are put
away for orders.
The ginger ale, water and beer bottlers
of Chicago are the bitter enemies of the
secondhand bottle dealer. The former
have formed an association in this city
and have made many attempts to stamp
out the trading in their packages. Each
manufacturer has Joined the association,
which costs them 800 a year. The diff
ferent empty bottles are collected and
aiken to headquarters, where each brand
is sorted and returned to the original
owners.

ViZayanS Are Restless.

Manila. Oct. 16.-9:1o a. m.-Mail ad-
vices from Iloilo state that there is great
tension between the Vizayans and Tag
alos, growing out of the Tagalos holding
Arenta, the leader Of the Vizayans, a
prisoner since the threatened Vizayan
revolt against Tagalo domination in the
archipelago. The Vizayans are incensed
to the point of rebellion. While the Tag
alos ~nominally control only the military
organization of the so-called Filipino re-
public, they ave crowded out the Way
ans from the civil branch, whereat there
is great discomfort.
The Tagalos are reported to be concen-

Barbara, where Delgado, chief of the
revolutionary government. commands,
with a view of putting themselves III a
position to suppress the Vizayans. -Four

FlukeS Were Expensive.

New York. Oct. 16.-The New York
Yacht club. which has the management
of the cur races, is the principal financial
sufferer by the failures. The officers
say that each attempt to race cost the
club $4,000. This includes the club steam
boat. half dozen tugs and the incidental
expenses. 1t will be seen that the club
has thus far expended $21, 900 in the at
tempts to pull off one race. 1T must ex-
pend at least 5000 more, inasmuch as
one yacht must win three times. The
seven fukes have cost probably not far
from 49, 500, 900 which comes out of the
pockets of the people who wanted to see
the yachts meet.
