LAFAYETTE, Ind, Aug. 26.-For the
third time i'm six months the Electrical
Workers employed by the Lafayette Tele-
phone Company have gone on strike
This morning not lineman appeared for
work, and while the men say that they
have not been called out by the strike
committee, they will give nothing to the
press The company officials say they have
refused to sign an agreement which was
presented by the men, but beyond that
nothing has happened to cause the men to
take such action.
The striking linemen state they have
asked for eight hours work at nine hours
pay on Saturday only, and little higher
wage in conformity with the scale received
by brother workment for other companies
i'm the city.
The strike has practically made helpless
the system of the Lafayette Company. The
storm OF yesterday damaged the phones
of the company, and many of the lines were
torn down by the storm. This morning
there has been steady stream of COM
plants, but no linemen have been available
to do the work. and the system remains in
a crippled condition.

DANVILLE, ILL.,, Aug. 26.-The jury to

nesses for the State, who testified to-day,
were Sheriff Whitlock, Deputy Sheriffs Van
Vckle and Runyan, Attorneys c. Wilson
and s. f. Shester, DIR. Sims, Noah Jones
and Charles Lord. Few new features were

Sheriff Whitlock testified he shot defend
ant. Adam Murray, with a revolver in the
forehead as he was directing the battering
in of the Jail door with an iron rail. The
blow was a glancing and the injury
light. 1t was testified that Defendant Slade,

gers and demanding that the women and
children be removed from the resident part

LARGEST GLASS BOTTLE.
Holds Sixty-Five Gallons and Is n Lit
tie Less Than Five Feet High.
New York Time:


The largest blown glass bottle in the
United States. or in the world, far
the makers know is on exhibition in a
window in Barclay street, just above
is shaped something like a baby's nursing
bottle-narrow at the bottom, bullying at
the middle. with a small neck and mouth.
The bottle is a trifie less than five feet
high, and is about four feet in circumfer-
ence at its widest part.
New Jersey is just about as tall as the bot
tie. If he could manage to squeeze through
the neck he could sleep very comfortably
inside of ii. If the surface area of the
glass blown into the bottle were spun silk
1t would make gown for moderately
large and stout woman. Although blowing
by guesswOrk, tempered with long ex-
perience. the man exceeded by only half
an ounce his instructions as to the size of
the bOttle-sixty-five gallons.
The firm read in Western newspaper of
hitherto unaccomplshed feat" al
legged, of blown bottle holding forty gall
Ions. The Barclay street makers sent one
more than twenty-five years ago. Just to
show that it was still in the ring, this
sixty-five gallon bottle was made. The
lon bottle IL he had place TO put il In his
window.
Pinned to a card at the base of the big
bottle is the smallest bottle in the world,
it's appropriate running mate. 1t holds just
four drops, and must be filled with hypo-
dermic syringe. Ii is so small that ii has
to be fastened against a jet black back
ground in order that persons looking in at
the window see it, More time was re-
quired 10 make the four-drop bottle than
the sixty-five gallon one
The substitution of machinery for human
labor in glass bottle factories is not making
much Roadway. For the finer grades of
work machinery is no good at all. Skilled
mechanics are at work improving il all the
time, and they promise TO succeed some
day, just as they did with the typesetting
machines Meanwhile the efficient glass
blower has the call. There is a great deal
of boy labor in the factories. which are
scattered through New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Illinois. Ohio and Indiana.
Each blower requires from two to three
boys 10 carry bottles from the molder 10

RICHMOND, Ind, Aug. 26-The Indiana
Yearly Meeting of Hicksite Friends, now
in session here. will have a new directory
setting forth complete list of members,
postoffice addresses and ages. There was
considerable argument before this decision
was arrived at, the chief objection being
to placing the ages i'm the directory, but
this was finally ordered done.
The latest directory was issued in 1885 and
is much out of date. many OF the members
having passed away since then and the
complexion of the meeting having largely
changed. The monthly meetings are to
compile the information for the directory
and report il TO the Yearly Meeting at

ELWOOD. Ind, Aug. 26.-The Citizens
Heat and Light Company which recently
absorbed the two old companies here, is
sending out notices to its patrons inform
ing them that on Oct. the rates for gas
will be advanced from Is to 30 cents thou
sand cubic feet meter measurement. with a
discount of cents thousand for payment
before the 10th of the month. The pro-
posed increase forecasted several
months ago, with the result that a large
per cent of the consumers will abandon
gas altogether when the higher rates be-
come effective, turning their attention TO
coal wood and oil for fuel
The company gives as reason for the in
crease the fact that it is compelled TO ex-
pend a great deal of money TO insure good
service and makes the usual promise of be-
ing able to furnish plenty of gas through
the winter months. which Ii has not been
able do for Il number of years.
