The, stockholders of the West Vir-
ginia Glass Company were agreeably
surprised to receive the following no
tice of the dividend declared by the
directors on November oath:
Dear Slr:-At a meeting of the Board of
Directors held this day the secretary was
instructed to pay a dividend of 500 on the
capital stock of this company out OF the
proceeds of sale of the plant to National
Glass Co.
Please mail or deliver your certificate,
for which a receipt will be given, and
check mailed you at once.
Additional dividends will be made in
short time. Very respectfully
WEST VA. GLASS MEG. CO.,
November 24th, 1893.
The 80 per cent is the first appor-
tionment, and from good authority it
is stated it will pay about 35 per cent
of real dividend. This will be quite
a boost to workers who have been al
lowing certain per cent of their wages
to go as stock, and many a smile is on
the faces of the men who have been so
fortunate
Mrs. Indiana McSwords and her son
Orvill and daughter, left yesterday for
Mossingford, Va, where Mrs. Nc
Swords will make her future home.
She is one of our Oldest citizens and
has been in very poor health for some
time.
Quite a serious accident occurred at
the new shovel works yesterday and it
was almost remarkable that the I'M
fortunate victim was not killed. A
piece of scantling about three feet IN
length fell distance of twenty feet,
striking Limeley Palmer a glancing
blow on the head, cutting a cash in
the scalp over three inches long. DR..
Wilson was called and put several
stitches in the wound but found no
fracture of the skull, which was re-
markable. Mr.. Palmer, at latest re-
ports, was resting very we'll.
Mrs Harry Jump has received a
check from the order of A. o. U. w.
for $4,000 insurance carried by her hus-
band.
The slot machines of our city, while
still in the saloons, have their faces
turned toward the wall. Some are
labeled broken, and when questions are
asked the proprietors say we have quit.
For some time quiet war has been
waged against them, and as the spring
election is near at hand, the Mayor and
Marshal have succumbed to the wishes
of the people, and while none have been
removed, there is no one operating
them. The law gives the authorities
the privilege of destroying them. 1t is
still question as to what will be the
outcome
The burglars who entered the gro
Gerry store of Mrs. Thomas Mears, on
Broadway, were run down yesterday by
the good work of Officer Erwin, and to
whose credit is laid one of the best
pieces of work done in the city for
some time, and shows that burglars in
this city stand a poor chance of GLIDING
the officers. The burglars were two
young boys, aged about Is and 16
years. Marshal Lindemuth arrested
Harvey Dorf yesterday morning, call
ing on him before he was out of bed,
and on being brought to the city build
ing, confessed that he had u partner
and his name was Ernest Erwin Mar
shall Lindemuth searched his home and
found no clue. Later Officer Erwin re-
searched the house, and with the help
of the boys father and mother, who
ably assisted the officer, found the
goods in a back part of the cellar which
is never used. The boy confessed to
the theft and seems to be very peni-
tent over his deed. He has always borne
