the free use of water from the Race
way for boilers. The request was
granted until further notice. In the
meantime the matter is to be brough
to the attention of City Council for
concurrence.
The old Office building near the

but no conclusion had been reached.
The committee on trimming out the
Park, reported progress.
An ordinance prepared by Mr.. Ire
dell for the regulation and control of
the Park was approved, and ordered
presented to City Council to be incor-
porated in the ordinances of the city.
Communication from F. Howard
Milford relative to the use of the old
stone mill for run way for boats
was referred to a committee consist
ing of Peck and 1redell, who are to
confer with Mr.. Mulford.
Mr.. Iredell moved that the fee of S.
for each boat on the Raceway be re.
seinded. Lost.
On motion the rental of boats in

COAL REDUCED
FIFTY CENTS.
Wholesale Figure for Anthracite
Will be Fifty Cents Cheaper
on April l,

On Monday the Reading Coal &
Iron Company will announce that on
April 1 there will be a reduction in
the price of anthracite coal of fifty
cents from the present circular.
For the first time since the Anthra-
cite Strike Commission made its re-
port there was a gathering in New
York yesterday of the coal presidents
when the Temple Iron Company met
for organization. This company has
on its board all the leading anthracite
coal presidents They were all pres
ent at the meeting except Presidents
Underwood and Fowler.
While these officials did not make
the official announcement of Spring
prices, it was learned that the COM
pany would make public on Monday
the prices that were to prevail during
the summer months. Ever since it
was announced that there would be a
reduction in the price of anthracite
on April there has been great fall
ing off in the demand 1t is now be-
lieved that the trade will endeavor to
secure all the coal it can during April
for the prices during that month will
in all probability be as low as any
month for the next three years.

HUNT BROTHERS

there long enough to allow the molten
glass to adhere to the pipe-head. A
bubble is formed by the slow admis-
sion OF compressed air. An upward
draw is then slowly made to form the
straight neck of the cylinder. This
neck from four to six inches in length
is held stationary long enough to en-
able a surrounding water Jacket to
lmpart sufficient rigidity to it to pro-
ceed to the formation of the bell
shaped shoulder or "bait" which de-
termines the diameter of the cylinder
to be drawn, and the slowness of the
drawing, added to the viscosity of
the glass in the blowing pot, deter
mines alike the strength of the cylin-
der and the diameter. The inflow of
compressed air, as we'll as the upward
movement of the electrically con-
trolled blow pipe and adherent cylin
der, are subject to instant manage
ment by the operator, whose hands
are upon the air valves and electric
levers. A cylinder of any dimension
is elongated from the cap to the
height of Is or 20 feet, in from s to 10
minutes, according to the fuidity of
the glass, and the fluidity of the glass
is controllable by either hot or cold
blast When the Cylinder has reached
its height, it is cut off by shears at
the lower end and deposited upon a
horse" or stand. for Gaping off,
division and cracking open, all of
the latter named processes being done
by electricity, as they long ago have
been done in punch tumbler, lamp

ture.

A Snug Appropriation.

The joint appropriation committee
of the Legislature has been very gen.
erous to Cumberland county, and as a
result the, Soldiers Home at Vine
land will be made more pretentious
and important institution than ever.
A larger appropriation for it's main
tenance was secured together with an
appropriation that will add several
rooms to the large building, increas-
ing it's capacity. Thirty five thousand
dollars were secured from the COM
mittee for the building of an annex to
provide for soldiers widows who,
under legislation secured by Camber-
and's representatives this winter,
will be admitted to the home.

BRADLEY ELECTED
STATE DIRECTOR.

Trenton, N. j.. March 24.-The
House of Assembly and the Senate
met in joint session to-day, and
elected Charles Bradley. of Newark,
to be State director of railroads in
place of former State Senator Will
liams, who declined to accept the
Office.
The Senate passed the House bill
empowering the Governor to remove
the factory inspector from Office at
his pleasure. The upper branch also
made preparations to practically finish
business next Wednesday, SO as to get
away early the day following in an
tioipation of the dinner which the
members are to give in New York
that night with Governor Murphy as
their guest.
The House of Assembly to-day
passed the Trenton City Hall bill,
concurring in the amendment of the
Senate which makes the measure ap-
plicable to cities other than Trenton,
also. The bill is now ready for the
signing of the Governor, and it is ex-
pected that he will attach his name
later in the week. Council will then
proceed to select site and erect the
proposed new municipal building.

WINDOW GLASS
BLOWING MACHINE.

Window glass manufacturers and
blowers are very much exercised re-
gardlng the future of the trade. The
recent practical demonstrations of the
machines controlled by the American
Company, bids fair to revolutionize
the entire business. and there will be
considerable conjecture between now
and the time the blast next fall starts
| in.
The recent demonstrations of the
window machine at Alexandria, Va.
were witnessed by many men. The
following from a trade journal de.
scribes the technical arrangement of
the room and how the machine does
its work:
The interior construction of the
blowing room is radical departure
from the beaten and foot worn paths
heretofore pursued in the industry.
There is the same large expanse of
roof space and amplitude of floor area
which the development of the modern
tank furnace plant has made neces-
sary, and there is the same tank melt
ing capacity, but there all similarity
between the old and the new era ends,
with perhaps the single exception of
the ''dog house" used for pre-heating
the blow pipes, but even these are not
close to the melting furnace, as of
old. but are handler to the blowing
machines. There are no ring holes.
and round furnace front. The face
of the tank is a straight line, with
square openings closed and opened by
iron encased, clay lined square doors,
like heating or pudding furnace in
modern steel and iron mills. Into
these furnace doors a suspended
counter-weighted ladle, equipoised
and movable by means of grooved
wheels or pulleys and overhead track
age, is inserted and sufficient guam
tity of glass is dipped and conveyed to
the blowing pot to make a cylinder of
the size and strength desired. The
blowing pots are arranged in a row.
about IA feet distant from the melting
furnace front. These blowing pots
are of peculiar construction, different
from anything heretofore used in the
industry, having concavity centrally
on both sides about four inches deep
and thirty inches in diameter, with
shafts extending horizontally to pillar
blocks and controlling mechanism
whereby the upper concaved side of
the pot may be turned down and
cleansed by flame contact, and the
upper concavity be refilled and util-
lied for blowing another cylinder.
When the blowing pot is filed with
glass from the ladle, cover is placed
on mechanically, and gas is turned on
to the lower. and upper side of the
pot, so that the fame contact shall
cleanse the lower concavity of all
residual glass, and melt off the
dropped thread of the ladle deposit
from the surface of the upper con-
cavity of the blowing pot. There are
no foot benches, no gathering or blow
ing blocks, no swing holes, no blow
ing furnaces
The ladled glass, very fluid, is de-
posted in the blowing pot, covered.
refined, planed, annealed, and then
disclosed for the insertion and i'm
mersion of the head of the electrically
controlled blow pipe. This pre-
heated blowpipe head, immersed in
the glass in the blowing pot, is left

The inquest in the violent death of
John Blizzard is in progress. Satur.
day afternoon at two o'clock Coroner
Samuel M. Hall swore the jury that
will make the investigation, and later
the body of Blizzard was viewed as it
lay in the receiving rooms of the un-
dertaking establishment of Charles R.
Tomlin. The jury then adjourned un-
til next Wednesday morning at ten
O'Clock when the investigation will
be continued at the Court House.
While there are few people who feel
that Billiards. death was otherwise
caused than by the collision with the
trolley car, and that alone by his own
act, there are some strange features
connected with the case
1t will be shown at the inquest that
Blizzard has lived a worthless life
and that he has been cursed with
liquor. He has lived with two women
as his wives, and it is quite certain
that he was never legally married to
either. 1t is likely that it will be
shown that some time since the second
woman with whom Blizzard lived left
him and took up her abode with q
man uamed Brinton alias Penn. ANY
way along some time in January last
Blizzard went before Squire Auld, of
Dividing Greek, and swore out war
rant for Penn, charging him with
cohabitating with his wife. Brinton
was locked up in Jail but subsequent
was released upon bail. It is said
that Blizzard swore falsely because he
was never married to the woman
therefore she could not be his wife,
aid it was arranged to have Blizzard
arrested for perjury.
Tt will also be shown at the inquest
that Blizzard was much wrought up
by not being able to haye this woman
ana he frequently made threats
against Penn while the latter is
known to have made threats against
Blizzard
1t is said that the inquest will show
that upon the afternoon of the acoi-
dent Blizzard was in a shooting match
near Dividing Greek, and afterward
went to Port Norris. In the after
noon the fellow had some three or
four dollars in money, while at night
when he wanted to return by car to
Turkey Point he had to borrow a
quarter for his fare. During the time
he was in Port Norris he had bottle
of liquor and in company with some
hobo oystermen he drank this up. In
the early evening he was drunk, so
drunk in fact that he was refused
liquor at the Port Norris hotel bar
room.
Blizzard took the 1926 car from
Port Norris bound north He was
under the influence of liquor. Harry
Moore, Of Newport, got on the car
with him. While Blizzard was on the
car he walked up and down the aisle
like Gagged animal and Conductor
Charles MoGalliard told him he would
have to sit down. This he refused to
do He determined to get off, and the
car was stopped for his convenience
some two and half or three miles
north OF Port Norris. Before he left
the car Blizzard told Conductor Mo
Galliard and Motorman Burch that he
was going to have fight and ex-
peoted to be in Jail in the evening,
and wanted them to come and see
him.
AT this point the case becomes sur
rounded with unexplainable mystery.

John Blizzard, the particulars of
which have been given heretofore in
these columns, was held to-day by
Coroner Samuel M. Hall, in the Grand
Jury room at the Court House.
Thirteen witnesses in all were called
but no new evidence was discovered,
the only sensational part of the in
quisition being the appearance of two
women, both testifying to being the
lawful wife of the deceased.
