THE ED ROBERTS WRECKED
Two of Her Grew Injured and
Three Barges Sunk.

One of the worst wrecks to hap
pen on the Ohio since the spring
coal shipping trade opened took
place near st. Mary's yesterday
morning. Just as the Ed Roberts
was passing Grape Island, she ran
into a shoal, sinking three barges
and disarranging the remainder
until she was unable to get off.
The Josh Cook, up with tow OF
empties, happened along and went
to the rescue. While at work the
timber head pulled out, injuring
two of the latter boats crew seri-
ously. One had his arm broken
and hand crushed; the other sus-
tanned equally painful injuries,
having three ribs fractured. The
loss will amount to considerable
it is thought.

Will Bore for Oil.

A large company composed OF
Ohio and Pennsylvania capitalists
has agents engaged in leasing
large tracts Of land in the vicin-
ity Of Booths Creek, near Graf
ton, w. Va, for the purpose of
boring for oil. 1t is stated that
over $1,000 acres will be leased
by the new company, and the
work of sinking test wells will
shortly begin. There is every rea-
son for believing that this is good
oil territory and a test well will
no doubt prove it to be so. One
or two wells were put down in
that neighbOrhOOd some years ago
and suddenly stopped and plug
ged and no more said about it,
and it is generally believed that
the plugging of the wells was
done to prevent discovery, for if
the wells had been dry as they
were reported, there would have
been no necessity for plugging
them.

The window Glass Trade.

In marked contrast to the con-
ditions of the window glass bust
ness for the past six months, is
the present quiet situation, with
its absence of sensations. We have
had period of great uncertainty
to the manufacturer, workman,
jobber and consumer alike; the
trade has been greatly injured by
the rumors commonly circulated,
and by the differences in the
ranks Of the workers, as well as
the manufacturers; which have
made values Of window glass very
uncertain. During the past two
weeks, the demand for window
glass has decidedly increased, and
this fact has excited considerable
comment in the trade. The rea-
son for this condition, however, is
easily accounted for by the fact
that many Of the larger buyers,
anticipating trouble in securing
their usual supply later in the sea-
son, and knowing they could not
depend upon the large manufac-
turing companies carrying a stock
as has heretofore been their GUS
tom, have anticipated their wants,
and placed orders for forward"
shipment to a much greater ex-
tent than usual. While the de-
mand has greatly decreased, it is
equally true that there is very lit
tie window glass offering below
the market, and prices have been
comparatively steady. This is be-
cause many manufacturers are
well supplied with orders for sew
eral weeks ahead. Pessimists re-
fer to the present large produc-
ton of window glass, and predict
much lower prices. We do not
share this view, as the natural
law of supply and demand will
satisfactorily regulate discounts
during the next three months !;
and such plants as cannot/oper-
ate at a profit and sell their glass
at remunerative prices, will shut
down.

The Right Man.

Detective James w. Eagan, OF
Pittsburg, came here Saturday at
ternoon and took charge Of Frank
Brown, the man arrested by Chief
of Police Thos. A. Williams a few
days ago on suspicion of being I'M
plicated in a robbery at Pittsburg.
Brown admitted to the detective
that he was guilty and told where
a part of the stolen property
could be found. Mr.. Eagan left
Saturday evening on the 6:lO
train for the Smoky City with
the prisoner. Brown is a young
man about 20 years old, and had
been located in this city about a
month. He was preparing to leave
here when Chief Williams arrest
ed him on last Wednesday. Mr..
Williams is to be commended for
his clever work in the matter.

housekeeping Days.

The melancholy days have come
the saddest of the year;
The carpets ON the clothesline
and incessant whacks we
hear;
The bedding's in the kitchen and
the beds are in the hall,
The pictures are upon the floor
while someone dusts the wall
We eat cold meat and crackers
from a wabbly kitchen chair,
For this is glad housekeeping
time-so free from toll and
care.
The neighbors line their windows
and a hasty census take
Of all the bric-a-brac we have,
and calculations make
If it was bought with ready cash
or on the installment plan;
We rescue our provisions from the
hasty garbage man,
And life is gay and careless-like,
it makes one want to roam
TO HE away-be2ause the folks
are cleaning house at home.
The melancholy days are here
the days of soap and brush,
Stove polish daubs the tableware
there's pie on Wagner s
bust
Piano holds some frying pans
the bathtub's lined with
books
The woman folks-ah who could
tell who they were by their
looks?
Sing hey! The glad houseclean-
ing time-the time of dust
and soap!
1t is a gladstone sight to see
through a big telescope.

Hugh Duffy Tells of Great
Plays on the Diamond

Hugh Duffy, last year manager of
the Milwaukee pennant winners in the
Western league and this year manager
of the Philadelphia Nationals. writes
his first article for publication upon
great ball players he has known, as
follows:
When one cndcaVors to recall great

rather of selection-it * easy enough
To recall! great games. but very diff

80 many things come into cunsidera-
ton: a great play at one time might
not bc Il great play at another; and.
ON the other hand, an ordinarily sim
pie play might save game and be the
really crucial play under other con
ditiunS. For instance. Tcnney j. one

they still show surprising skill. they

and talk over old times. the outsider
would almost think that a game of
ball never took place which was not
either wonderfully great or won

about the ball player-he knows bad
play and has no hesitation in speak
ing about it. As Il matter of fact.
most gains have crucial moments
when the saving play is really great.
Hence the difficulty of selecting
a few particularly great ones.
