" BosTOK, August 23. The two Boston
- clubs did a good business during Grand
Army week, but the Leacue team had away
the best of it, no less than 24.000 people at
tending the six games st the League grounds.
The Brotherhood people had OTer 14,000 in
five games, and played in New York on Sat-
nrday to over 8,000. What a blessing for both
sides if there were fewer conflicting datesl
ilutrie's down-trodden warriors, fresh from
the mud flats of Harlem, appeared here the
last day of the encampment, and Jim's
strong breath was taken away when he gazed
on a crowd numbering nearly 7,000. Ab, but
tilings would bavo been different for Mutrie's
band it the men under Kelly were playing in
town, for it is a well-known fact that Saturday
is always a big bonanza for the Brotherhood In
this city. The Bostons (N. L.) are playinc win
nine ball, and Jim Mutrie told me tbattbey
can beat any Brotherhood team in the land.
Bat Mutrio says more than his prayers, and it
would be hard to make any fair-minded man
believe that Selee's men could best the Play
er. League team of this city. The League dnb
has the best pitchers and catchers, but In bat
tine and base-running they are lost in the
shuffle with King Kelly's men.
MUIEIE'S TALK.
"I tried to get Miller away from Pittsburg."
said Mutrie to me, "bnt it seems after promis
ing to let him go there was a big kick made,
and I did not get him. Be was crazy to play
with me, and I wish we had him. as he is a rat
tling good man. A funny thing happened in
one of our games in Pittsburg. We had no op
position, and tbe Brotherhood people concluded
to co to League park to cuy the Pittsburg
League team. Well, say, you talk about gilt
edge ball playinc. but you ought to see the
Pittsburgs play that afternoon. Whr, tbe sec
ond baseman just cat up base hits, and we were
fairly slaughtered. Tbe Brotherhood crowd
returned home with a better opinion of the
Pittsburg League team."
"Truthful Jim" (Mutrie) went on to tell me
about tbe miserable attendance in New York
this season, and be says people hare no idea
how cinch money both ides are losing. "Will
there be a compromise?" I inquired. Mutrie
shook his bead and remarked rl can't see how
it can be brought about."
Boston, Philadelphia and Brooklyn are op
posed to a compromise and want to fight to the
bitter end. Spalding, too, has had bis back
bone stiff ened up, and now he wants goie.
Several months aso when Chlcaco (N. L.) were
drawing 200 or 300 a day, Spanlding was willing
to have the schedule changed. It looks now as
if the Brotherhood will not be an easy organi
zation to beat, and the League people are will
ing to admit that they have made a bold stand.
1 w ant to see the League live and prosper, but
1 am against monopoly at every stage of tbe
race, for I was a sufferer by tbe reserve rule
while a member of the Buffalo club. I was oi
. fercd S2.0U0 to join the Cincinnati Unions, in
ISM, but I was politely told that I must stay in
Buffalo for 7u0 less or grace tbe blacklist.
free country, en: nere uoes it come in wun
tbe reserve rule in operation? I bave always
been in favor of two and three ear contracts,
then when a man is free, let him go where be
can get tbe most money.
-fc A HAED TUSSLE.
The Bostons and Brooklyns are caving a hard
tussle for nrst position in tbe League race, and
both clubs must keep pegging away for keeps
if they wish to stay ahead of Cincinnati and
Philadelphia, who are close on the leader's
heels. The Bostons bave tbe best batteries,
and they ought to beat out Brooklyn if tbey
meet with co more unfortunate accidents.
Lowe is once more in harness, but he has taken
a big drop In batting since his return to the
team. This is cot tube wondered at; he has
been laid up since last May. and has had no
chance to practice, as his knee has been en
cased in tplints most of tbe time, Paul Hines
is still witn us, but it is doubtful if he will be
kept if Lowe shows up well in the field; that is
to say. if bis knee doesn't go back on him again.
Charlie Bennett hurt bis ankle a few w eeks
ago, but tbe old reliable is once more
in harness, and will go in six
days a week if it cots down
to bard pan. Old Charlie Smith is playing in
great shape, and cow captains the club instead
of OanzeL Tbe directors are satisfied with
Ganzel, but tbe latter was so pleased with
Smith's work during his own lay-off that he
toldbmith to go on and captain the cine.
Martin Sullivan is as straight as a string this
season, and bis fine work shows what he is ca
pable of when betakes coodcareof himself.
The wonder of tbe season, however, is
"Chippy" McGarr, who was not strong enough
for the Western League last season. At pres
ent McQarr is playing a better came at third
than any man iu tbe country, and he bids fair
to hold out till tbe season is over.
Kelly's men are in the lead, but Chicago and
Brooklyn are right in their wake. Chicago,
under Uomiskey, gets tbrown down in tbe East,
ana tbe present trip may be no exception to
tbe rule. Tbey will miss Latham In this city.
Arlie was a great card in this tow n, where he
is well known. Chabi.es J. Foley.

sl
C A. Official or Cblcnco.
A wen authenticated report was current last
evening to the effect that the reason why W.
A. Sunday has been transferred from the
Pittsburg N. L. club is because he intends to
rctire-from ball playing at the end of this
seison. He has been offered the Assistant
SecretarvshiD of tbe Cbicasro Y.1LC. A. and
has accepted the position.
It is stated that the officials of the Philadel
phia club did not know this wben they made
the deal to exchange Burke and Dav for him.
If this, Sunday's retirement, is true tbe deal
is not a bad one and tbe Philadelphia people
hare gotten a little the worst of it. providing
there is not a general break-up at the end of
tbe season. It has been known for some time
past that bunday was about done witb base
ball, at least his desire has been in another di
rection for some time. At any rate his Pitts-
; jburz friends should in some way acknowledge
liis cast faitbtul services in this city when be
j appears bere with the Phillies.

LYUCHING THE TTMPIEE
Talked of br a Disorderly Mob at a Kansas
City Game.
Kansas Cut. August 21 The Kansas City
Denver game had an exciting finish to-day.
Tbe questionable decisions by Umpire Jeyne in
tbe ninth inning, when Kansas City was about
to tie the score, enraged the crowd to such an
extent that they swarmed into the field hoot
ing and jeering the umpire. Two young boys
got bold of a rope, and in fun proposed to lynch
him. This added to the excitement, and it
looked for a time as if tbe umpire would be
mobbed. Jimmy Manning climbed up to tbe
top of the fence ana addressed the mob. He
said ihe umpire had decided nghtly, and ad
vised that no violence be attempted.
This quieted the mob to a degree. In the
meantime the players ot both clubs formed a
hollow square around the umpire, nd con
ducted him to tbe clubhouse, whence he es
caped to a cab and was driven way.
Baseball in England.
Young gentlemen interested in baseball In
England continue to assure those of us who are
on this side of the Atlantic that baseball Is a
howheg'snecess among tbe Britishers. Facts,
however, dispute the statements of the young
men. Authoritative information from Derby
states that the Derby club-invariably received
JL50, and even less than that, for its share of
the gate receipts. Mr. SudelL one of the
British League officials, complains publicly
that "high prices of admission" and too expert
pitchers were responsible for tbe poor patronage.-
These facts are really so strong that it is
surprising that endeavors should be tnaae to
hoodwink the American pnblio on a question
tbat is of comparatively little concern here. It
is amusing to bear of a successful performance
only realizing six shillings, a dollar and a half,
out of which to pay the expenses of ten men.

Harry Johnson was born In New York about
SO years ago, and before be became a profes

the 50-yard record of 6 seconds. He held
records for five and ten standing jumps without
weights, and in all sprinting up to 220 yards
he was a champion all-around professional,
and could perform splendidly with heavy
weights. His great feat in sprinting was
quick starting. He won one Sheffield
handicap, and bad a fortune several times. He
leaves a widow and two children penniless in
St. Louis. Johnson was a man of intelligence,
and for two years ealted the athletic column
of the St- Louis Sporting News and did work

Chlcaco In 14 Days nod 6 Hoars.
Chicago, August 21 The bicycle record
between New York and Chicago has been
broken by Edward Chickley, a student of the
Long Island Medical College. Some years ago
Nellsnn made the trip In II days. 23 hours and
30 minutes. Last night Chickley rode Into
Chicago, having been 14 days and but 0 hours
and 25 minutes, or 17 hours and 5 minutes
better than the record. In addition to lower
ing the record, ho traveled a mnch greater
distance and over much harder roads than
Nellson took.
His route lay from New York, which he left
August 9, to Philadelphia, and from there
south into tbe region abont Connellsville. Fol
lowing tbe fourth paralel. he passed through
Pennsylvania to Wheeling, and from there to
Columbus. O. He then had an almost straight
line to Chicago.
For Local Scalier.
Efforts are to be made to arrange a regatta
for local professional and amateur scullers
during tbe Exposition. A meeting will be held
on Thursday evening at the SL Charles Hotel
to discuss thb matter. Tbe sporting editors of
the respective local papers will be present, to
gether with other gentlemen who are patrons
of aquatics. Any gentleman who is desirous of
aiding in the promotion of tbe regatta is in
vited to tbe meeting, which will commence at
8 o'clock. There are plenty of local professional
aud amateur oarsmen to make an excellent
day's racing, and such veterans in regatta ar
rangements as James Taylor, P. Luther and
others are willing not only to donate, but give
their services free. It is to be hoped that tbe
various clubs will send representatives to the
meeting.

The first trouble to break out among the
Louisville players this season took place
Wednesday night, when Meakln and Taylor
came to blows over an Innocent game of cards.
Taylor received a black eye, and then Manacer
Chapman separated the men. Taylor nqw says
he will not play first base in the games in which
Meacin-pitches.
Manacer Ewine says that tbe resolution
passed by tbe Players' League regarding uni
forms does not make it compulsory for any
club to confine Itself to any particular kind of
uniform at home and abroad. Of course, no
two clubs can appear in the same uniforms in
tbe same game. That is exactly why the reso
lution was adopted.
It has been decided that the Newark Baseball
Club will go on to tbe end of tbe season with
the other three clubs, the New Haven, Harris
burg and Wilmington. Tbe local club is In a

The well-known professional oarsman, Jack
Largan, had a very close call last evening on
the Harlem river. W hilo speeding in his new
paper shell between the Harlem and the Madi

The prize fight between Andy Bowen, the
light weicht champion of New Orleans, who re
cently deieated Billy Myer, and Jiminie Car
roll, of San Francisco, who are to fight early
next month for 3,000. is beginning to create
considerable interest, and speculation has al
ready commenced. Carroll has gone into train
ing at Bay St. Louis, Miss., where Jem Mace
and Joe Cobum fought for 5,000 In 1871. Bowen
has made Florentine. La., his headquarters, but
he has decided to finish his training at Coving

confident he will win. If Carroll succeeds in
defeating him the majority of sporting men In
New Orleans will go broke."
BOUGHT HER OWN GRAVE.
MISS HINKLE'S LAST GLIMPSE OF HER
HOME BEFORE SHE WAS KILLED.
Hurled Into Eternity In the Gravity Eond
Disaster She Made Her Fortnne
Through n Secret Arrangements for
Her Funeral A Remarkable Woman.
Philadelphia, August 24. In a hand
somely mounted casket the body of Miss
Harriet Hinkle, the aged maiden lady who
lost her life in tbe terrible disaster on the
ML Fenn Gravity Bailroad on Thurs
day, arrived in this city last even.
ing and was taken to her late home, 254
North Thirteenth street, where it will
remain until the arrangements for the
fuoeral shall bave been completed. Then
the body will be removed to a plot ot
ground in Laurel Hill Cemetery, which
was purchased by Miss Hinkle abont 25
years ago, and over which she has watohed
with jealous care for all that time.
In many respects Misa Hinkle was a
most remarkable woman, and was de
scended from a family of old Pennsylvania
Dutch stock that is known throughout the
State. She was over 83 years old at the
time she met her death. She came to this
city shortly after the death of her parents,
more than a score of years ago, and em
barked in the business of removing cancer
ous and other superfluous growths from af
flicted persons. In this respect, by a secret
process, she achieved great success.
Miss Hinkle's first real estate investment
was in the form of a lot in Laurel Hill
Cemetery, and in it she had the bodies of
her dead relatives interred that is, of those
who were immediase members of the
family. She hlso had a grave ar
ranged for herself, and devoted as
much attention to it as she did to
her household. It was in this connection
that her eccentricities if such they may
be called first made themselves manifest.
Twice, and sometimes three times a week
she visited that grave. In summer she kept
it beautiful and green, and every single
blade ot grass -was pot longer than the
other. At the foot of the grave there stood,
and stands now in full bloom, a rose bush
which she trimmed and pruned as though
she had no other object in life.
In winter time she was no less frequent in
her visits to the spot where she intended her
remains to find a last resting place. When
the wind was howling aud sobbing through
the leafless boughs of the trees that over
hang the .vast city ot the dead, and when
every other giave seemed dreary and for
saken hers was always in the finest order
possible. It she visited it and found snow
on the tombstone or around the marble rail
she removed it with her own bands and
even covered the little mound with a water
proof sheet. That she anticipated her death
and made every provision for her interment
is proven by the tombstone. It is not a very
elaborate affair, but is neat and attractive
and bears this inscription:
Sacred
To tbe Memory of
Harriet,
Daughter of
Philip and Sarah Hinkle.
Born
June 10th, 1S07,
In Robeson Township, '
Berks Co., Pa.
On the lower part of the tombstone there
is a space leli for the date of death and the
age, and the work will soon be finished.
But while all this was going on Miss
Hinkle's medical practice was being kept
up, her reputation was spreading and her
bank account was increasing.
Miss Hinkle was a familiar figure in her
neighborhood, aud in spite of her advanced
age, moved about with the activity and en
ergy of youtb. The indirect cause which
led to her death is rather singular. For a
number of years all the members of her
family had lived on a site on Mount Penn,
over which the ill-fated gravity road
now passes. She was in the' habit of
visiting friends in and near Beading
at regular intervals, and on Monday
last she left this city for what she said
would probably be her last visit to the
scenes of her childhood. On arriving at
Beading she went to the residence of her
old friend and distant relative. "While
there the two women conceived the idea of
taking a trip over the gravity road, in order
that Miss Hinkle might get a farewell
glimpse of the site of tbe old family home
stead. The point where the place could be
seen had just been passed when the car
broke away or its mad career and hurled
both women into eternity.
Miss Hinkle's will, which was made
many years ago, has not yet been found.
Her real estate nd -personal property are
estimated to be worth between $100,000 and
$160,000.

Huntington, August 24. There was a
serious and bloody riot at a performance
given by the "Sunny South" Theatrical
Company nt Ceredo, Friday night, particu
lars of which have just been received by the
outside world here. One man was shot and
a dozen others were badly beaten, while the
floating theater, in which, tbe perlormance
was given, was wrecked.
The trouble was inaugurated by a crowd
of tough young men, who persisted in in
sulting the people on the stage during, the
second act. Three of the men at once left
the stage witb clubs, and attacked the men.
The three performers were attacked in turn
by the audience, overpowered and cruelly
beaten. Tbe remainder of the company went
to their assistance, when some one turned ont
the lights. Pandemonium at once broke loose,
and every man began an onslauzht on his
neighbor in tbe dark, while women screamed
and men called for help.
The police arrived and deputized a number
Of citizens to aid in quelling the riot, butthis
soon made matters worse, and revolver shots
began to echo around the ball. Finally the
crowd charged on the stage' after the fleeing
performers, who were unceremoniously tbrown
into tbe river, where they were stoned in tbe
darkness. Every one of tbe police and show
peoDle was badly wounded by stones, and the
condition of several is serious. A paper charac
terized tbe affair as "the bloodiest, and most
disgraceful affair that ever was enacted on
West Virginia soil."

THE? EACH HADE A MILLION.
Threo Preacher Brother Who Converted
Sand Hllli and Hnrshu.
Ocean City, N. J., August 24. Ten
years ago the three Lake brothers, all Meth
odist ministers, conceived tbe idea of
starting a campmeeting resort by the sea
side. Tbey purchased an island with seven
miles of beach front along the At
lantic Ocean. This was known as Peck's
Beach, and inhabited principally by wild
cattle and mosquitoes The first cost of the
island was $8,000. Bailroads were built,
steamboat wharves built, sandhills leveled
and salt marshes filled, underbrush
and trees removed and buildings erected.
The improvements cost 250.000. The 3,000
acres made 30,000 building lots, and nearly
one-half of these have been sold, and it is
said tbat all debts are long since cancelled
and the balance of the lots are the profit of
this enterprise, which has made
millionaires of each one of its
fouuders. It is now a stock company. Kevs.
Wesley and James Lake are still unassum
ing Methodist preachers bard at work at
their regular charges, while Ezra, the
superintendent of the association, directs
the business management.
Their original plan was to make this a
Christian resort, which it still eminently
is; but some of the original ideas have
been chanced by the more worldly
minded Borough Council. For several
years no Sabbath desecration of any kind
was permitted, and until the Council re
cently made the change no Sunday trains
entered the place, and even bathers were
not seen iu the surf on the Lord's day; in
deed, even now, the bathers must secure
their suits on Saturday night. All tbe
deeds, in big letters, expressly state that no
dancing shall be allowed on the property
purchased under penalty of forieiture, and
liquor shall never be sold.
' STRIKES AND THE PUBLIC.
Sentiment In This Country Not Peculiarly
Fnvornblo to Corporations.
Harper's Weekly.
It intelligent men who are employed in
any capacity upon a railroad think that
they are justified in producing quasi-anarchy
in any community because they may have a
just grievance, they hold views which' are
fatal to all social order. They may not see
it, but what tbey propose as b, remedy for
an alleged grievance is war. They do not
defy a railroad company. They challenge
the whole community of intelligent, indus
trious and Jaw-abiding citizens, who are the
overwhelming body ol tbe American people.
Public sentiment in this country is not pe
culiarly favorable to great corporations, or
inimical to those who live bv wages. The
vast majority of the people five by wages,
and upon any plain statement of wrong to
railroad hands, or any other wage-workers,
the pressure of public sympathy is with
them.
Railroad companies have no right to re
gard themselves asengagedinan exclusively
private business. They are bound to act
with regard to the probable effect of their
action upon the public; from whom they
bave received franchisee, and with whom
tbey have made a contract. There is a simi
lar obligation upon tbe employes of the
road. Both company and employes have
assumed duties to the pnblio which they
cannot honorably disregard. This is a truth
which was never so clearly perceived as
now, and never more emphasized in tbe
public mind than by the late Central strike.

Too
Shrewd for a Pair of Swindlers.
Kennett Squabe, August 24. A
couple of sharpers made an unsuccessful at
tempt to-day to work the bunco game to the
amount of $5,000 on Thomas Marshall, a
wealthy citizen and bank director. On
Thursday morning a stranger opened con
versation with Mr. Marshall, whom he in
formed that he was a Philadelphia lawyer,
and proposed to buy tbe Phillips House and
Mr. Marshall's handsome residence, which
adjoins it. Mr. Marshall informed him that
the Phillips property belonged to, a Mr.
Donahue, of Wilmington, and the stranger
then proposed that they should drive to Wil
mington to-day to consult the owner about
the purchase.
This morning the sharper reappeared and
be and Mr. Marshall started to drive to
Wilmington. Thev bad not cone far when
they met a stranger coming in the opposite
direction, who inquired the way to Oxford.
Some conversation ensued, wben the second
sharper drew a pack of cards and a game
was begun. The first sharper won $5,000
and Mr. Marshall was invited to take a
hand, which he did, and was allowed to
win?5,000. The swindler informed him
that be ore the money could be given to
him it would be necessary for him to pro
duce an equal amount. Mr. Marshall
scented the game that was attempted to be
played on him and declined to show bis
money, whereupon the confederates left him.
BBUTALLY BLACKJACKED.
Atlantic City Officers Unmercifully Beat and
Cat a Prisoner.
Atlantic City, August 24. William
McMahon, a Philadelphia foundryman,
was brutally blackjacked at the Bead
ing depot this evening. A drunken friend
of his was prevented from getting on
the train by a special officer of the Beading
road. McMahon expostulated with the
officer, when the latter seized him and aided
by two other special officers dragged him
out on Atlantic avenue.
McMahon protested against such rough
treatment, bnt was soon rendered senseless
by the combined onslaught of six officers,
including three members of the Atlantic
City police force. .They plied their clubs
and blackjacks unmercifully, cutting
several deep gashes on the un
fortunate man's face and head.
The onlookers were much , in
censed and disgusted at the wanton savage
ness of the officers, and would undoubtedly
have attacked them but for the timely arri
val of a patrol wagon.

(SPECIAL YlX.XQV.lSi. TO THE DI8PATCH.1
Camden, N. J., August 24 By Monday
next, September 1, nearly all the glass fac
tories of South Jersey will be in blast, in
about the same condition as retrards the at
titude of capital and labor as when tjie last
blast ended. Prom every direction come re
ports of a prosperous outlook for the season.
The early start in the flint branch, this
year, is indicative of a good season's busi
ness. Stocks are light and prices are good,
and both workers and manufacturers look
with confidence into the future, as is evi
denced by recent changes in the list and the
advance in wages, which was readily granted
by the manufacturers.
In the tableware branch of the flint trade
very few factories have resumed. Among
them Oillender's, Philadelphia, and two or
three in Western Pennsylvania, but none
of the Pittsburg tableware shops will go into
blast before September. .
HEAVY STOCKS ON HAND.
It is the impression among manufacturers
of these goods that tbe year's business would,
prove more profitable, on the whole,.if the
starting up of factories was delayed and the
summer stoppage prolonged until after the
1st of September. Slocks have been consid
erably reduced, especially in novelties and
special sizes and shapes, but in the regular
lines stocks are still reported heavy. In
the lamp chimney branch there, was a gen
eral resumption throughout the country
during the week just closed.. The officers
of the National Trades' " Assembly
No. 143, K. of L. (green glass),
have had conferences with Moore Bros.,
Clayton, and Brookfield, Brooklyn, K. x.,
and bave won a victory in the latter case,
Brookfield agreeing to run his furnaces un
der union regulations. This is quite a vic
tory for" tbe green glass blowers, asBrook
field's is a large plant and will furnish situ
ations for a number of union men who were
forced to pass the last season in idleness and
depend upon the union for support. With
Moore Bros., Clayton, the men were not suc
cessful bu they have not given up hopes of
getting me lactones
TJNDEB UNION BTTLES,
and expect to have another conference with
the firm this week. The apprenticeship
question is the only bone of contention, there
being no kick over the question of wages.
The arrival of a number ol Belgiau glass
blowers in Bridgeton during the week has
caused a stir in window glass circles, and
the New Jersey members of the EasteWDis
trict Wage Committee are at present mak
ing a thorough investigation, and will have
the men returned to Europe if they are-not
union blowers.
Mr.Beuben Chew, of Millville, who was a
delegate to this convention of the Universal
Federation of Window Glass Workers, re
cently held in Paris, says tbat while he was
in Europe he discovered a couple of agents
for American manufacturers who were
scouring the glass districts of France and
Belgium in search of blowers. He under-
oenA tt,Q IIV,. Ph.V Hfulina rf T3-If?vn,n
was also in Europe after workmen, but saw
nothing of him while he was across the
ocean. The
AGENTS APTEB BLOfVBBS,
Mr. Chew says, wanted then for factories
in Findlay, O. Mr. Chew says that he does
not look lor a heavy influx of foreign
blowers, that the convention in Paris regu
lated tbe matter as far as union men were
concerned, and that the officers of L. A.
300, in this country, are ample prepared for
the non-union workmen and will see that
they are shipped back without delay. The
scale for the next blast has been agreed to
by nearly all the window glass manufac
turers in the East, and a number of fur
naces will start up September U. Among
them the manufacturers in Baltimore and
Hagerstown, Md., Millville, Vineland,
Quinton, Atco, Winslow, N. J., and Wil
mington, Del.
Extensive repairs are being made to the
'furnaces at Giassboro and Bridgeton, ex
cept the Cohansey works, which are ready
to go into blast, and will prevent them start
ing up until later in the month.
STARTED 'WITH NON-UNION MEN.
The Whitney glassworks at Olassboro,
which started operations on Wednesday by
placing non-union glass blowers in the flint
factory, will shortly commence work in all
the greenhouses, five of which are being
rapidly sheared bo as to enable them to
start by September 1. To-night fire
was put under a third house, and
as soon as possible tbe fourth-house will be
started. Owing to the work which is unfin
ished in this house a delay will be made of
about two weeks, when the entire works
will be running to their full capacity,
which will require about 170 blowers, or
about 500 hands altogether, all non-union.
These men are working on the same scale of
wages as last year, and seem satisfied.
. A GOOD OUTLOOK.
Manager H, S. Beokett to-day said' the
outlook for the coming season is very excel
lent, and no year heretofore has had as
bright a prospect as the one just commenced
at Millville. Whitall, Tatum & Co. have
already started work in one or two flint
glass factories and to-day will put three
more flint factories into blaze. By Monday
,next their whole works, onq of the largest
in the country, wjll be in full operation
with all union bands.
Bennett & Co. put fire under their window
glass works to-day, and will go into blast on
September 1. At Williamstown, Bodine,
Thomas & Co. started their flint glass bouse
this week, and yesterday one of tbe green
factories went into operation. Everything
is in readiness to start a third factory.
Superintendent Hilvard said to-day that
all the factories would run to their full ca-
Eacity, giving employment to 95 or 100
lowers, all non-nnion men. He said the
outlook was excellent and that tbe factories
would be busy until June of next year.
The
FAILURE TO SECURE STONE
for the furnaces will prevent the Monroe
Glass Company Co-operative Works, run by
blowers, at Williamstown, startiug at the
time expected. At Clayton, Moore Bros,
have fire under three factories, which will
go into blast by Monday next. Here, as at
Giassboro, non-union men will work again,
all efforts to effect a settlement with the firm
proving futile. Tillger Brothers, at Vine
land, will start up promptly on Monday
next, two to three weeks earlier than last
year, with the same number of hands. They
say their orders are fully up to last year's.
The factory at Swedesboro, which has been
idle for two years, has been leased by a
Philadelphia firm and will be put in repair
for starting at once. The Standard Window
Glass Company, at Woodbury, will only
put one furnace in blast in September.
J. D. Troth, of the Executive Board of
National Trades Assembly No. 143, Knights
of Labor, abid to-day- that tbe outlook in
tbe green glass trade was never better than
this year, and that 2,500 union blowers
would be at work by tbe end of the first
week, in September.

delegation of citizens who want the Pair on
the West Side, the Northside or the North
west, as the case may be. Then comes
an engineer who declares to them that it is
"Possible to extend the Lake Front Park
by filling in the lake; another assures them
that it is out of the question to pile it.
Then came Architect Jennison, of Chicago,
and Colonel Andrews, of Allegheny, de
claring that piling is perfectlv practicable,
and the latter insists that he has seen simi
lar work done in the face of greater difficul
ties. A DIFFICULT DECISION1.
The task which the committee must per
form beiore Tuesday night is to determine
whether 400 acres of space in the 600 acres
of the swampy Jackson Park can be ob
tained without entailing too great a cost,
and, if it cannot, to determine what is the
best site of all those ofiered and obtainable.
The probabilities are that the Fair will go
to the Northside site on the lake shore, to
which attention was called in The Dis
patch, beiore any prominence had been
given to itin the Chicago papers, and before
Landscape Artist Olnistead bad so strongly
recommended it, Mr. Olmstead's argument
in its favor is a strong one. The Fair, to be
a success in an artistic point of view, mnst
have a picturesque location. No site in
or about Chicago has a picturesque
locauou except toe two on tne laKe shore
Jackson Park on the Southside, eight miles
from tbe business center, and the North
Shore site, six miles distant from the busi
ness center in the opposite direction.
Hence one of these two sits must be used if
the buildings are to be so grouped as to
secure the finest possible effect on the imag
ination. NORTII SHORE THE BEST.
Jackson Park, Olmstead thinks, will not
do because ol the ereat expense of convert
ing it from a morass into a meadow. The
North Shore Bite, he says, will do because
it is already high and dry, part oi it is
beautifully wooded, and the view of the
lake is more beautiful there than at Jack
son Park. e
Mayor Cregier's committee find that the
title to this land is in the hands of a great
many people, some of them minors,
and that it will be very difficnlt to get it.
Tbe World's Fair corporation, of course,
does not bave the right of eminent domain,
and cannot begin condemnation proceed
ings. It can only negotiate, and if one
stubborn laud owner gets in the way he
may make the most beautiful site unavail
able. The verv crrett difficulties which ronfrnnt
the World's Fair people on everv hand may
yet force them to unite on the Lake Front
Park, raske the best terms they can with
the Illinois Central, and patch out the land
by building out over the water.
COLONEL ANDREWS' IDEA.
la tbat event tbe scheme suggested by
Colonel Andrews, of Allegheny, will receive
more careful consideration at the hands of
the public than it has yet had. Mayor
Cregier believes that it is entirely practica
ble, but tbe Allegheny engineer's plan of
building a number of small houses instead
of several great structures will hardly strike
the- average Chicagoan as just the right
thing. He wants a great structure, some
thing greater than has been seen at any pre
vious exposition, something tbat will pro
duce an impression on the visitors which
shall not be easily erased.
Tbat is what the Chicago man strives
after most earnestly in the construction of
everv new business block. He wants his
architect to contrive something unique,
something the like of which has never been
seen before, something wbich can be seen
nowhere else than at Chicago. Surely he
will not forget his ruling passion when it
comes to putting up tbe buildings of the
Columbian Fair.
