Little or nothing new has developed
in the past week in the strike situa-
! ton at the Eagle glass works. Yester-
day Sheriff Geo. w. McCleary served
the injunction papers on the striking
glassworkers whose names are men
toned in the bill of complaint. There
were thirty-one of these papers. The
strikers still refrain from any viola
ton of the acts mentioned in the in
| junction, but are still at work as best
| they know how trying to win. They
succeeded in having three or four of
those at work join their ranks this
week.
One of our best known contractors
and builders is relating to his friends
a peculiar, yet amusing circumstance
which he figured in a few days ago.
He received word Wednesday evening
that one of his neighbors on Cross
| Greek had been found dead a short dis
lance from home. Parties from the
Immediately vicinity substantiated all
this as true. So our contractor wish
ing to pay his last respects to his
neighbor, procured horse and started
for the (supposed) deceased's late
home. When about half way on his
| journey, who should he meet on foot
coming to Wellsburg but the man
whose funeral he was on his way to at
tend. Saluting each other our friend
on horseback told him all. 1t was af-
| terward learned that the Cross Greek
man had been in Wellsburg Christmas
| day and took a few drinks more than
was good for him, his load being more
than he could carry he gave way under
it when near his home. When found
by friends he was thought to be dead.
The coroner was notified, but hearing
nothing to excite suspicion and know
ing the habits of the man did -ot re-
spond to the call. So in this trance
or drunken stupor the man lie for ser-
eral hours, Juliet-like, with all the q p-
pearance of death.
