Matters of Interest in the Metropolis
of Belmont County.

There is every prospect now that the
new fifteen-ton tank at the Bellaire
bottle works will run along smoothly.
but the start yesterday was married
some by reason Of the fact that the en-
CINE had given out the night before and
the glass was chilled on the surface of
the tank. Nearly full force Of blow
ers were at work most Of the day, how
ever, and they got to doing well toward
evening and It Is expected that by to-
day things will be going along smoothly
and well. This tank will yield Just
double the quantity of ware the furnace
does and Increases the working force in
the factory in the same proportion.
There Is only little over n month LETT
Of this season in which to work, but the
management concluded to push right
along SO that any drawbacks might be
overcome and all be in readiness for the
fall business. They have considerable
trade now to supply from the tank and
more in sight. so that It will be oper-
ated right up to the time they are re-
quired to stop by the rules Of the glass
workers.
