One of the Wheeling volunteer SOL
diers now engaged in the war against
the F'ilipinos is Noah w. Beck, Jr.,
who belongs to the Third artillery.
From a very interesting private letter
to a friend in this city some extracts
are taken and are given below. The
letter is dated Manila, July 9th, and
the writer states that he just came in
from the firing line at San Fernando,
thirty miles distant. The Filipinos
had been Boosting that they would cap
ture the town.
The camp from which Beck wrote is
in New Manila, and in the tough quar-
ter of the city. The natives frequent-
ly try to burn that portion of the
town, he says. All the soldiers carry
AS Colts, with instructions to use them
If natives cause trouble. AS a result
about score of natives are killed in
the city nearly every day. Military
law prevails, and no person is allowed
on the streets after $3.50 p. m.
"Old and New Manila are divided by
the Pasig river, the largest in the ISL
and. The moss covered walls of the
old town look very romantic. The city
is surrounded by large mote, and at
dl>s9A[ of every twenty feet there is
an old pattern gun on the wall. The
Bridge of Spain is the principal struc-
ture connecting the old and new town.
1t is made of brick and stone. A cas-
coe (native barge is wrecked against
this bridge every day. The river is
like a mountain torrent when the tide
goes out, and the natives lose control
of their boats and they crash against
the piers. II person falls into the
river the chances are ten to one against
his getting out alive, unless he is an ex-
pert swimmer, on account of the UNDER
tow.

Spain is the suspension bridge. built
by Spanish contractor for the Span
fsh government, When it was complet-
ed the Spaniards killed the contractor
SO they would not have to pay him.
The horses here are the size of a
Shetland pony. The carriages are cali

wheels. There are very few four

city is as busy as Broadway in New
YORK. You can hardly cross the street
IN safety on account of the carnettas
and natives carrying bundles. Then
there are water buffalos, which draw
very low carts, and haul all the heavy

~
| Inc dlScouraglng reports that nave
come from Pittsburg of late regarding
| the table ware combine have led many
to believe the project has been aban-
doned for the present at least. There
are indications, however, that the pro-
moters have not yet grown faint-heart-
| ed and the scheme may yet mature if
! persistent effort counts for aught The
announcement that the combine pro-
motors were unable to arrive at terms
with the United States Glaoss Company
led many to suppose the matter had
ended in fizzle, but there are some
plant owners in this vicinity who do
| not take this view OF the situation.
Some well posted glass men say an ef-
fectiye consolidation can be formed
without the U. S. people, but there are
others whose opinions are just as much
entitled to consideration who have a
contrary opinion. Be that as it may,
dickering is still being carried on with
local manufacturers and this is accept
ed as an evidence tina. the promoters
have taken a new tack and will pursue
| it until the desired end is brought
about or the feasibility of tho scheme
is discounted beyond peradventure
During the past week new set of
appraisers visited tic Crystal plant at
+ Bridgeport and viewed the real estate
This is the second the this part of the
preliminaries has been goa9 tEicugh
with at the Crystal and the fact has led
to the belief that the promoters are yet
pursuing their plan for consideration
The same appraisers also visited the
West Virginia plant at Martins Ferry
4 :,
, tate. Another significant movement
developed at the meeting of the Board
OF Directors of the West Virginia plant
on last Wednesday. At this meeting
request from the Pittsburg parties
was read asking that the option upon
the plant be extended for thirty days,
which was granted. At the expiration
of that time it is expet ted something
definite will develop one way or the
other. 1t is apparent, however, from
the talk of the local manufacturers that
no great store is set on the combine 60
ing through and the factories are pur-
suing their even tenor and are turning
out orders at rate calculated to satisfy
the management and stockholders
without the Intervention of combine or
trust.
The Riverside Machine and Bridge
Company. which recently secured the
plant of L. Spence & Son, at Martin 5
Ferry, is making preparation for the
erection of new buildings and other ne
eessary appurtenances for the establish
ment Of the new business. Last Tues
day night the company, represented by
Attorney John A Howard. appeared
before the council of that place with
request that certain streets be vacated
for the purposes of the new plant. In
return the company will deed to the
city grounds to be used for wharfage
purposes. Switches from the W. & L.
! e. and c. & P. railroads are TO be
built to the plant which, when COM
pleted will be conveniently situated for
shipping. The company also asks for
free water and free electric light for
their plant but these concessions were
net granted by council at the meeting
Tuesday.

Apropos of the new works said to be

of men has been at work during the
past few DAVIS clearing the company's
ground in the vicinity of Bogg's Run
This is taken to mean that work will

The new coke ovens at this plant are
rapidly assuming shape. Contractor
Mccain, of Bellaire, is making rapid

pumps affording ample supply to all
departments of the mill.
The Wheeling iron and steel works
at Benwood, is running double turn as
usual. A storage house for tools is be-
ing erected on the lower end of the
company's grounds.
About fifteen men are employed on
the tipple for the new Brown Coal and
Coke Co., on the Bowman place below
Wellsburg and every effort is being
made to push the work. Inability to
get lumber shipped and scarcity Of la
Dor are delaying matters somewhat. 1t
looks as though the Brown Company
has been crippled in their development
of the territory by the coup of the new
Armstrong Company of Pittsburg,
which bought the Davis farm while the
former company was negotiating for
it. However, the men in charge of the
Brown Company operations are not in
any way discouraged and are pushing
their work.
