JUDGE HART DIES.
Recently Reelected to Judgeship
Criminal Court.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 4.-Judge
VIM M. Hart Of the Criminal Court Of
Davidson County, died suddenly Of heart
failure early tonight at his country
home near here. Judge Hart presided
ia the trial Of the Coopers for killing
former United States Senator +. w.
Carmack and was reelected to another
term in the election OF Aug 4, last.
CAMPAIGN A STRAIN.
Judge Hart was appointed judge of
the Criminal Court in 1902 to succeed
Judge j. M. Anderson, resigned. He
was elected over /. L. Pendleton after
most bitter campaign. He was re-elect-
ed in August over Jeff McCarn by slight
" more than 1000 majority after a
campaign marked by great bitterness.
All through this last campaign Judge
Harris friends were more or less doubt
full of the result of the strain He was
known to be in feeble health. Even
during the Cooper-Carmack trial he
sometimes had to be assisted up the
courthouse stairs. This trial was also
great strain upon him. Since the cleo
ton Judge Harris efforts to regain his
vitality have been unavailing, and while
his death is in the nature OF shock, it
does not come as surprise to his init
mate friends.
A widow and children survive him.
The death OF Judge Hart causes a va
caney in the Criminal Court which will
have to be filed by appointment Of
Gov. Patterson until the general election
two years hence.

comPLETED-WlLL BE IN

This week will see the completion
Of the splendid factory building erect
ed by the Monongah Glass Company
in addition 10 the company's plant. In
order for the company to take care
OF its increased business 1t was nee
cssary to increase the plant to at least
sixty per cent. OF its present capac.
ity. The building was erected by the
firm OF Holbert and Spedden OF this
city. The walls are constructed OF
brick and practically all that remains
to complete the building is putting in
of tho concrete floors.
1t will be some time yet before the
factory will be ready for operation.
All OF the machinery and appliances
have to be Installed yet.
To protect the building against fire
complete sprinkler system will be
installed to ramify all parts OF the
building. The entire plant Is provld.
ed with sprinkler system.
Tho Monongah Glass Company's
plant is probably the largest one of
its kind in the United States. The
ware that Is produced is Of the best
grade and the market for 1t is always
ready. With the increased capacity
the company will have employment
for almost a thousand hands. 1t is
one OF the few factories that is kept
in operation the entire. year. The plant
is one of the chief Industries in the
Monongahela Valley.

NEW GOVERNMENT LAW IN

The local owners OF motor boats

must now be on during the hours be-
tween sunset and sunrise. A failure
TO lawfully equip boat makes 1t la
bic to seizure. Previous to the pas.
sage OF the present act only motor
boats of five tons or more carrying
passengers or freight were required to
carry signals. : Boats of the smaller
size were not subject to the rules and
regulations Of tho government. But
now every motor boat must carry
lights and whistles and be governed
by the laws OF. tho United States gov
crnment. They are also protected by
the government.

WORKING MEN
HARD TO Find
EMPLOYERS OF LABOR FIND IT
HARD TO SECURE MEN,
MUCH ACTIVITY CAUSE.

The scarcity of labor, though rela.
tieyly SO, is the one topic that men are
discussing probably as much now as
any other in this section. Men that
employ laborcrs find 1t difficult mat
ter to get men. The mines could
find employment for many more than
are working now. The brick yards
neeed more men. Orders for brick are
held back because enough men can
not be found to do the work. The ca.
pacity OF the local plants are much
more than the output is on account
of the paucity OF labor. The greet
activity In the Industrial pursuits here
Is responsible for. this condition. Un-
der ordinary circumstances there
would be plenty of men to do the
work but with every thing moving
almost TO the limit there is the secret
OF the trouble. The number OF men
employed by the Baltimore & Ohio
company in builing additional bridges
widening tunnels. laying additional
track, putting in greater yard faclli-
tics, erecting new buildings, draws
heavily on the laborers in the entire
Monongahela valley. Never in the
history of the valley has there been
SO much building going on as there
is at this time. Street car lines under
construction has its influence in max.
ing labor scarce. The lines that are
building employs many men that
would find employment in other lines
of work. All Of these conditions
make 1t hard for the coal operators
and brick manufacturers to get sum,
Client men to keep their plants work,
Ing to their capacity.

INTERESTING
MAJOR GREEN'S NARRATIVE OF
STREET FIGHT ,AMusEs THE
sPEcTAToRs-MAN HUNTS
FOR DIME IN VAIN.

Four prisoners were before the
mayor this morning, Three Of them
were engaged in fight on Main
street. The scene OF the fracas was
in front Of Major Green's candy kltch-
on. Two of the men came up in front
Of the Majors place and one began to
make use OF some indecent uterances.
The MSjor who conducts respecta.
BILE place protested. One Of the men
began to abuse the man that had tray-
eled with Barnum and Bailey's circus
for years advertised as the smallest
man in the world. Just then local
man came up and told the big bully
that Major Green was his friend and
that he did not want to see him i'm
posed upon. The big fellow asked Ma
joFs friend If he wanted some of 1t.
The friend Said that he did not want
any OF 1t but he would take a little
oft anyhow. He gave the offender
an uppercut that landed him in dream.
land. The other man showed some
signs OF entering the scrap but he too
folded up like an accordion. There,
was nothing to 1t but the friend OF
Major.
Major was in court this morning
and gave a long narrative of the whole
affair. The story in Majors cork
screw voice was the most pleasing
thing that the spectators at police
court have listened to-yet. 1t almost
broke up the court. The two men
that claimed to be, from Uniontown
were fined nine dollars each. They
were taken back to jail in default Of
payment of the fine. Majors friend
got six dollars.
Because plain drunk could not find
his dime he was fined six dollars. The
man was pretty well tanked up last
night when he boarded a street car.
When the conductor came around to
collect his fare the drunken man FUN,
bled In his pockets to find the only
dime that he possessed and was
placed in a safe place to pay his fare
home. The little piece Of white met
al was not to be found. He searched
diligently and long. No results. The
conductor put him of. He came to
the city and was arrested. After the
arrest he found tho coin that was to
have carried him out of trouble.
