why They Sell.

Is it strange that a lot 80 by 80,
containing 500 square feet, sells
without agents when compared with
one 100 by 40, containing only 400C
square feet, or less than one hall as
much?
Our streets are 40 1t. and Alleys 1f
It,, while alleys on other pi, ts are
only 10 it,, useless for teams to pass
Every 4 lots face on two streets
and have two alleys. No lot with

$50 Mea Idle.

The strike among the cutters at
the Seneca Glass Factory as u re.
suit of changing one at the cutters
John Ware from dav work to piece
work is growing in seriousness. To
day $50 workers are idle.
A meeting OF the Glass Workers
Union was held last night, at which
it wa. decided to call GU. all the
members of the Union in the Seu-
eca factory. This morning the blow
ers and gatherers went out with the
cutters, and everything is quiet Two
men and two urls were still to be
found in the cutting department,
personally no members of the Union.
Four blowers were at work aud
gatherets and boys enough to keep
them going. The rest Of the shops
were idle, and there was an air of holi
lay time about the furnace.
A big force of workers is still on
duty taking care of the ware already
made. but they will soon have to
stop, unless the blowers resume
work.
Mr.. X Boehler was seen at the
Seneca office, but he had just return
ed home last night, and could not
say whether the blowers were called
out for conference, or: out perma
nently. He said many orders for
glass ware will have to be filed very
soon or not al all. II they cannot
be filled by December LIST they will
be cancelled, and the whole factory
may AS well shut down till the strike
is settled permanently.

a woman who said she was a
trained nurse went to DIR. John r
Cook at the Cook hospital the other
day and securing an interview with
him said: CDR. 1 am a nurse and
have been travelling With a family

The story sounded good to DIR.
Cook, and he handed over two bills
of two dollars each. The woman
thanked him took his card and
went out.
Saturday night DIR. Warder, of
Grafton, was in Fairmont. DIR. Cook
went to the train with him. DIR.
Warder looked intentedlv at lady
sitting down in the other end of the
waiting room and remarked: "That

They were not long putting their
resolution into effect.
DR.. Warder was spokesman. mad
am, you told me you lived at Harp
er's Ferry and YOU told DIR. Cook"
Then it dawned on the woman
that she was bang up against it.
She opened her little pocket book
which she carried in her hand. She
dug down in another book. This
one looked like the private roll OF
spanel worker. 1t was full of bills of
all sizes and especially big ones.
The woman said nothing. She was
somewhat excited and evidently fear
ed she was going to be turned over
to the police.
She picked out flyer and handed
it to DR.. Warder; then she showed
four to DIR. Cook.
The men of medicine were now, of
course, on to the fact that they had
been swindled and also that their
money had by rarest chances been
restored to them.
1t was such an interesting case
that they looked up In a surprised
way at each other, and when they
looked for the woman, who a second
before had stood before them, behold
she was gone, and search of the
whole building failed to find her.
Friday she had worked the doctors
of Grafton. She told them she was
going East. Saturday she came here
and taxed the physicians of this city.
She worked at least two here besides
DR.. Cook. One gave her dollar
and one couple.
Her story was very smooth one
the way she related it, and it usual
ly captured the medicine man she
told it to.

COAL STRIKE.
1t is Not Believed by Some, who Claim

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S-There are
rumors afioat that the anthracite coal
miners contemplate another str ike,
and that the labors of the commits
sion appointed by the President will
come to naught. The reason alleged
is that the miners seeing the uucom-
promising attitude of the operators
towards the recognition of the union
believe that the result of the commits
sion will prove to be another ''gold
brick" for them.
Under the circumstances it is be.
lleved here that the rumors are being
put out solely for the stock jobbiug
purposes of Wall street. They are
regarded as ridiculous that at this
early stage the proceedings of the
commissions efforts should be made tt
discount the future course by either

During the past few weeks the
Deckers Creek Stone and Sand Com
pany has been installing machinery
crushing and washing its splendid
glass sand at Spring Park on the
NJ. & X. railroad.
The crushing machine is now in
operation and part of the washing
machine, but the latter is not quit )
completed. Enough is in position
however to begin the manufacture OF
sand for glass making, and the first
load was shipped to the Marilla fac
tory Wednesday.
This factory has contracted to
use two car loads or 60 tons per
week. There will be great saving
70 them as compared with using the
Hancock sand, as the freight on
the latter is ST. 20 per ton
The Brownsville factory at the
Pump Station will also use the Deck
ers Creek sand, soon as it can be
furnished to them. In time 1t will
come into general use in all this re
gion for glass making il it proves as
valuable as analysis and practical
tests have proved it 70 be.
The machinery at the quarry is
being equipped for washing the sand
for glass making thoroughly five
times 50 it comes from the dryer as
clean as sugar
The stone is blasted out of the
mountain side with powder and
brought down an incline to the
crusher on trucks. Here itis crushed
and then passed through the five
washing machines. A railroad sid
ing leads into the dryer, where it is
loaded into the cars
The company is now ready also to
furnish crushed limestone for Nc
Admitting streets. The first of this
broken stone is being deliver today
for the streets in first ward, Prairie
Avenue and Kingwood Pike, now all
ready for Matchmaking. The work
will be done by Dean q Hoffman
The stone is broken small enough to
pass through two inch ring. The
railroad expects TO be able to deliver
it at the rate OF two car loads daily
and the street building will be done
right away.
