THE DEAL ON
But it Ras Not Been Consummated---
Crystal May Change Ownership
About the 18th.

There have been rumors for some
weeks past that the Crystal Glass Com
pany, at Bridgeport, may be absorbed
by the tableware combine now organiz-
ing under the name of the National
Glass Company, but the assertion that
such transfer has already been made,
it appears, is premature. AT least a
party fully qualified to know the facts
in the case so stated to the Register
Yesterday. When the move was placed
on foot to form the National, agree
ments were sent out to all the table
ware manufacturers asking them TO
sign d contract to go into the combine
when plants representing 80 per cent.
of the pots of the country had been
secured. But the Crystal was not n
of the companies that signed such an
agreement, and. of course. is now at
liberty to do as it pleases with regard
to the matter. The National will with
in the next few days organize and will
then be in a position to make and &C
cept propositions officially and then
the deal with the Crystal may be con-
consummated, if at all. Crystal stock
has been selling away above par and
if the National takes the plant it Will
have to pay we'll for the property. An
o~ver-the-river stockholder the other day
was heard to say if he could buy stock
at 1925 (the par value per share is SOU
he could sell to the trust and clear $40
a share. Another heavy stakeholder
said yesterday that he would take S1lO
for his holdings. If such figures as
these are to obtain the plant cannot
be bought for less than $500, 600. While
some Of the stockholders are willing to
take part or all in stock others want
a cash consideration. The stock and
book accounts are to be paid for in
cash. 1t is understood something def
mite towards closing the deal will be
lone about the 18th.

WATCHING
WHEELING.
Surrounding Towns Want to See a
Competing Telephone Service Here.

Surrounding towns which have local
telephone service are watching very
closely the progress of the several APP
pli%cations for franchise either having
been made or likely to be made to the
Wheeling Council.
At Bellaire, Moundsville and other
towns where local companies have in
stituted a service the people would be
pleased to see a competing company get
a foothold in Wheeling. The reason
for this is plain, as arrangements could
in all probability be made bq which
connection could be made with a new
line in Wheeling and the usefulness of
the local service be thereby extended.
Bellaire is particularly anxious to see
competition in Wheeling, as the town
has an independent local service which
could be connected with Wheeling on
an hours notice.
For the information of such persons
it may be stated that the National Tel
ephone Company, which is understood
to be backed by Baltimore capital, has
had its application favorably reported
by committee and the ordinance will
come before Council for its first read
ing on next Tuesday night. The Wheel
ing and Parkersburg company is also
getting an ordinance in shape to pre-
sent to Council and there are still ru-
mors of a third company, which, it ap-
pears, has not yet fully matured.

NO PRESENT PROSPECTS


way Schedule.
There is no small amount of public
dissatisfaction with the new street rail-
way schedule, under which the first
car leaves the barns one hour and ten
minutes later than before the strike
settlement, or at $40 a. N. instead of
4:30 a. M, and the last car leaves at
1852 p. N. instead of 1888 p. m. The
net result is that the service starts an
hour later in the morning and stops an
hour earlier at night than formerly,
and a large proportion of the public
don't like it. There appears to be no
immediate prospect of a change, how-
ever, as the officials of the Company
say hat under the eleven hour agree
ment cars cannot be operated any
longer. This is not well understood by
the public, however, who have been
under the impression that two eleven
hour shifts meant twenty-five hours
of continuous operations. whereas it
appears in reality to mean but about
nineteen hours. There may be some
change in the schedule in the course
of time, but Secretary Shirley held out
little hope yesterday, saying in re-
Spouse to an enquiry that the present
hours were about the best which could
be ARRANGED.

SHOT IN THE LEG.
A Bullet From W. B. McMahOn'S Re.
volver Lodges in the Lower Limb
of Sherman Kraft McMah0n Had
Been Assaulted by Three Men.

Shortly before five o'clock yesterday af-
t%ernoon, VIM. b. Mcmahon fired three
shots at three. men who were hurting
bricks and stones at him, and one of the
bullets lodged in the leg of Sherman Kraft.
The bullet made a painful wound, but will
not result seriously. The injured man will
be unable to use the member of some days.
The shooting took place near the B. & o.
passenger depot. McMahon is a local
produce peddler. In o with
two friends, he was going out on the 500
Hempfield train to West Alexander, to
aunt turtles. The three stopped in the
Metropolitan saloon to get bottled beer.
While they were inside. Sherman Kraft
and "Dutchy" Coleman AND his brother en-
tered. They had previously had trouble at
the Elks' Fair with Mcmahon, and Nc
Mahon alleges that they threatened to do
him up on sight.
One of the men invited Mcmahon outside
anc then made a pass at him with his fist.
Witnesses say that Mcmahon warned them
to allow him to proceed to the train, or
he would hurt them. The three men
picked up bricks and stones from the
street and hurled them at Mcmahon as he
struck him on the leg. He pulled out his
revolver and fired three shots, one of
which took effect.
a big crowd gathered by This time. and
B. e o. Officer Kamm placed Mcmahon
under arrest, and took him before Justice
Fitzpatrick, who admitted him to bond in
the sum of $500 for his appearance for a
hearing at min o'clock this morning.

There were really no new develop
ments yesterday in the Dittmore muir
der case, and as far as can be ascer-
tanned the officials have dropped work
for a lack of funds to pay travelling and
other expenses. 1t is true that two
members of the Board of County Com
missioners have promised to see that
expenditures made by the police are
reimbursed, but two is a long way
from being a majority of the Board.
and some recent past experiences have
made the police a little shy of travel
ing around the neighboring country at
their own expense. Chief Clemans
of pocket about seventy dollars of his
personal money on two cases alone,
and that in the absence Of any provis-
ion for settling bills he can scarcely
be expected to pay such expenses him
self.
Lieutenant Michaels and officer De-
vinney returned to the city about half
past eight o'clock yesterday morning,
having spent the entire night in exam
lining both banks of the river between
Benwood and Grave creek. They Wis
tied many boat houses and fishing
camps, but could obtain no trace of
Driller or the Parker after they
were seer at Benwood, about half-past
ten o'clock Tuesday night. Driller
appears to have separated from his fe-
male companion, for he was last seen
on the railroad track, alone, and the
current s%upposition is that he boarded
a train.
The small sledge hammer found on
the house boat was brought to the City
Hall yesterday and was there examined
very carefully. One end of the ham
mer bears distinct marks of a dark red
substance which to the non-professlon-
al eye strongly resembles dried human
blood. The hammer was carefully tied
up in a cloth, and put away for subse-
quent expert examination, if necessary.
Dittmore will be buried by the Ben
WOOu duILOl lllSS SOlIIC tlllt tO-uoJ ohQ
there the case will rest until there are
further developments. The prospect of
securing additional facts are not parti-
cularly bright at present, and will
scarcely grow better until some ener-
getic action is taken by the county au-
thorities of this and Marshall coun-
ties. The case is the by no means iso-
lated n of a man committing murder
and getting away at his leisure because
no one takes any particular interest in
the matter and no public fund is avail
able for running him down. There
ought to be equal provision for catch
ing a murderer whether the victim be
we'll known or unknown, rich or poor,
but unfortunately this is not the case
in practice. The Pape robbers and
some other criminals are still at large.

General J.. 5. Riley, the special COM
missioner, being asked yesterday as to
the prospects of making sales on Sat
urday of the Philip Reilly Glenn's run
farm, said that so far as he was able
to judge the prospects were very good.
I'm fact" he said, there is no rea-
son why this property should not sell.
1t is one of the best located and pref
test sites on the Ohio river for resi-
denee property or for manufacturing
purposes, and with certain prospects
of an electric road between here and
Wellsburg, the property can be sold
by the purchaser or purchasers to a
very great advantage in lots
How do you expect to sell it,"
'The decree of the court requires me
to offer the property as a whole and
in parcels, and sell in the manner in
which it will bring the best price. The
bottom land, of which there is eighty
acres, has been laid off into five tracts,
large enough to be used as small gar
den farms until such time as they can
be laid off into small tracts or lots and
sold in that way. There are 2S5 acres
in the whole tract. Of this there are
205 acres of hill land, which will be
offered as a whole and in separate
tracts, and the coal offered separate
from the land. In fact the property
will be offered as it may best suit pur-
chasers."
'What do you know about the rail-
road to be constructed between here
and W~ellsburg?"
More than l am at liberty to tell
I can say, however, that | am informed
by inside parties that if the right of
way can be procured from Wellsburg
and Brooke and Ohio counties, the 0 "a
will be built within a very short time.
A NOTABLE VICTORY.
The victory won by legitimate manu-
facturers of the real Wheeling stogie,
in the United States Court at Boston,
Wednesday, before Judge Colt, was a
notable one, and will be far reaching
in it's effects. The action was brought
by the Sanatel Tobacco Company, of
this city, against Joseph Engel, of Bos-
ton, and yesterday the following tele-
gram of congratulation was sent by
w. H. Frank, president of the Sana-
tel Company, to Vice President G. E.
Beekman:
MIR. G. e. Beekman, Vice President
Sanatel Tobacco Co., Boston, Mass.
Congratulations on Circuit Court
decision protecting title Wheeling
stogies. Decision joyfully received
here. Sanatel Tobacco Co.. heartily
thanks its vice president for this glor-
ious work.
Wv. H. FRANK, President"
The decision means a great deal for
n of the most important industries of
Wheeling, and one most intimately
connected with the fame of the city as
a manufacturing centre. Wheeling
stogies have heretofore been initiated
and sold by millions, while made many
miles away. Hereafter a Wheeling
stogie will be such in fact as well as
in name, and the Sanatel Tobacco
Company is to be commended and con-
graduated for its good work.
