Yesterday President c. W. Franz
helm returned from View York, where
he has been in consultation with other
promoters of the American Pottery
Company. 1t is understood that no
date has yet been fixed for the paying
over of money for the local plants.
The Wheeling and La Belle potteries
are among the most active in the Ohio
valley at present. The delay in start
ing up after the holidays experienced
at many of the East Liverpool plants
has not found a counterpart in the
running of the local concerns. The fac
tories are being operated under the old
management without special reference
to the American Pottery Company,
which has not taken possession IN fact.
The Aetna-Standard, after an en-
forced idleness in its sheet and black

pressure of business.

Beaumont's decorating works, at
Martins Ferry, is turning out some
new lines of goods which compare ia
vorably with any similar work placed
upon the market. The plant was kept
back considerably by the chilly blasts
of the past fortnight.
The Cooperative Foundry Works, of
the South Side, is running in full on
both stoves and job work. They were
forced to close down during the severe
cold weather, owing to frozen sand.
This is a new company, and is COM

The Mears coOperage, over the river

the Aetna-Standard for several days,

Application for charter for the re
organization of joint stock company
with an authorized capital stock OF
$4,000, has been made by the Stanton
Heater Company at Bellaire, composed
of Howard Kirk, eX-Treasurer of Bel
mont county; E. II. Rider, former sec
rotary of the Bellaire Stove Company,
and Henry Stanton, formerly of Flush
ing, O. The patentee Of the Stanton
heater is Henry Stanton, who was
granted patent on his invention about
four years ago, and who has since
then added improvements to the or
iginal design at various times. 1t
would, naturally be supposed in view
of such a deviation from the old course
of business pursuits, that the company
contemplate some elaborate improve
ments at their plant. In an interview
with one of the stockholders, however,
it has been learned that the company
do not, at present, contemplate early
improvements at the mandatory,
but that the company have decided to
make the change for the purpose of
placing the business on firmer basis.
Nevertheless, if business continues to
progress satisfactorily, the company
may decide to put up new factory at
a point near the site of their present
works on the river front in the Sec
ond ward of Bellaire, before a great
while passes by.

quiet but determined effort is being
made to get control of all the factories
in this vicinity, as well as elsewhere.
A force of bricklayers of Pittsburg,
composed of Christopher Mcf'adden,
Michael Fallen, Patrick Fallen, John
McCabe and Jess johnson, all of whom
have been engaged in making repairs
and improvements in the various de-
partments Of the Riverside mill at
Benwood, during the past year, having
finished their work, returned to their
respective homes at the former city
during the early part of the past week.
No one. as yet, has been appointed
as turn foreman of the steel depart
ment at the Wheeling Steel and Iron
Company's works at Benwood, to sue
coed Reuben Willis, whofi as has been
chronicled, died suddenly Wednesday
before last at his home in Troy, n. \.
Superintendent Armstrong, OF the
Wheeling steel plant, will, it is very
likely, select a man to fill the vacant
position within a short time.
At the Wheeling steel plant, which is
inactive at present, undergoing repairs
and improvements in the different de-
nartments. a. great deal of valuable
time has been lost on account OF the
recent cold wave. The old force OF re-
pairers returned to work last Monday,
after having been idle for few days.
On Tuesday night an additional force
of repairerS were put on duty IN order
to recover the time lost and to push
the work forward to completion at an
early date. The work of repairing and
improving the plant was being done on
single turn until Tuesday. Now that
the work is being carried on by day
and night forces, it will not be long
before things have been gotten into
shape for a resumption Of operations in
full.
On Monday the plate mill at the
Wheeling steel and iron works made
only three heats, owing to the frlgld
weather.
Plate mill A, at the Riverside works
at BenWOod was idle during the week,
undergoing repairs and improvements.
The blast furnace at the Riverside
works was started up on Wednesday
night, after having been inactive for
several days. The closing down of the
entire department of the extensive mill
was due TO a shortage of coke. Opera
lions in full at the blast furnace re-
quires a supply of coke, sufficiently
large as to render it necessary to have
goodly quantities of the product ship
ped to the works from different points
to serve as additions to the large
stocks of coke turned out each time at
the Riverside coke plant. On account
of railroad traffic being considerably
crippled by the heavy snow fall
throughout the country, no coke reach
ed the mill during the early part of
tha week

The Laughlin tin mill went on again

with prospects bright for continuous

several weeks.

The Barnard brick works, west Of
Bellaire now controlled by the Su-
burban Brick Company, was inactive
during the past week. having been
compelled to close down owing to the
water congealing in the pipes during
the cold snap. Inasmuch as the plant
was imperative for over year before
the Suburban Company began running
it, operations are now being remarka-
bly, we'll performed. A considerable
amount of work was required to put
things into proper shape for a resump-
ton of work in full at the manufac-
tory on account OF its long period of
inactivity.

An interesting test of potters' clay is
to be made at the Wheeling plant
within the next few days. Oswald
Schick, of Bridgeport, few days ago
received a box of clay from his
brother in Hamburg, Germany, and he
purposes to turn it over to the Wheel
ing Pottery Company to be tested. 1t
is said to be something entirely new
to American potters, and if it proves
satisfactory demand may be created
for it for certain lines of fine ware.

The most sensational industrial news
of the past few days has been the ru-
NOR of a great glass combine that is
to affiliate all the glass manufacturers
of the country under one head The
names of F. J. Parke, of the North
Wheeling bottle works; George w
Yost, of Bellaire, and Edward Muhle-
man, of the Crystal, are mentioned in
connection with the movement, and
their business ability and experience
would certainly lend an element OF
success if outside reports as to the for
nation of such combine are correct.
The supposed trust is to be interna-
tional in its scope, and is to be formed
upon the same lines as the National
Steel Company. 1t is understood a

The simultaneous closing of the river
and interference with railroad traffic
caused something akin to a coal famine
in some Ohio valley towns and Wheel
ing was mildly reminded of the incon-
venience of such a condition, but to no
great extent Several Of the local deal
ers were short at times and had to meet
the demand by buying from their bus
mess rivals and in one or two instances
customers were turned away With the
return to normal conditions the receipts
are ample and trade goes on as usual.

operations were a ia standstill.

After the River Pirates.

S. S. Stone, of Vienna, was in the
city today consulting Prosecutor ]. F.
Laird as to the arrest of a gang of riv-
er pirates, who have been committing
innumerable depredations among the
farmers living near Vienna.
During the last four months they
carried away large number of chick
ems, harness and valuable farm imple-
ments. One night last week they took
all the tops off Mr.. Stones buggy and
threw them away. They also stole a
fine set of harness from his neighbors.
Stone watched for them the latter
part of last week and saw a fellow
skulking around his chicken house.
He called to the intruder to halt and
when he refused he shot at him, but
missed him. The gang has been To-
Gated near Constitution, Ohio, and the
Washington county authorities will be
asked to assist in landing the thieves
behind the barS--Sentinel.

Church Names in Electricity.

Electric signs are a feature CT upper
Broadway. They are to be seen in
front of nearly all the theatres, and
have come to be regarded as the par
ticular property of theatres and cafes.
But now the church steps in and dis
putes the right of theatres to attract
patronage with electricity. The pas
tor of the First Reformed Church, of
Williamsburg, has put up a great cleo
trio sign in front of the ediflce, and on
Sunday nights one can read the name
of the church in blazing letters long
way Off There are several churches in
Greater New York which have an cleo
trically lighted cross on top of the
steeple, but the emblazonfng of the
name of the church in front is some
thing new in church decoration
