THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 1886. WINDOW GLASS WORKERS. Fourth Annual Meeting of the National Association in Pittsburg. PITTSBURG, July fourth annual meeting of the National Window Glass Workers' Association began in Kanffeld Hall, on the South Side, this morning. Seventy-five delegates, representing all sections of the country, attended opening session, and a large number of others are expected to-day and tomorrow.

The morning was taken up with the presentation of credentials and effecting an organization. President Cline says the principal business before the convention will be revision of the constitution and by-laws. The wages question will also be settled. The gatherers, however, are the only branch of the trade who desire any increase in wages. Single strength gatherers now receive to 55 per cent.

of the blowers' wages, and double strength gatherers receive 55 per cent. The former join the latter in a demand for an advance approximating to 65 per cent. This matter will be referred to the Wage Committee. Nothing will be known definitely of the factory owners' plans until after the annual convention, which will be held within a short time. The sentiment of the Pittsburg manufacturers is that a reduction in the scale is absolutely necessary.

Another important feature of the agreement for next year will be the introduction of a new clause relative to the apprentice system. Employers claim that at least a few apprentices should be allowed to each factory, and will insist upon recognition on this point. The apprentice question has long been a bone of contention, and should it be sprung this year a strike is among the probable results. In the afternoon President Cline presented his annual report, which showed a highly satisfactory condition of affairs. The report advocated a change in the apprentice system of Europe, which will be acted upon at the coming International Convention of Window Glass Workers in England.

The balance of the session was taken up with routine business. The convention will be in session a OUT ALL NIGHT. Twenty-seven Hundred Glen Island Excursionists in a Fog. NEW YORK, July Island was crowded yesterday with merry excursionists, who were carried up there by Starin's Glen Island fleet of steamers, and as usual when the afternoon had passed away the excursionists commenced to think of returning home, so as to arrive about eleven o'clock. The steamer Laura M.

Starin left Glen Island about eight o'clock, with about 900 passengers on board. She was followed half an hour later by the steamer Matteawan, and the Sam Sloan, which was the last boat, did not leave until about 9.10, all of the boats having about the same number of passengers on board. Everything went along smoothly until the Starin got off City Island Point, when she ran into a thiek fog and waited until her sister steamers came up and notified her commander of their presence by the tooting of their whistles. The three steamers finally felt their way around Throgg's Neck and remained backing and filling off Whitestone for hours. It was about three o'clock when the Starin made fast to the Port Morris dock, while the other two steamers proceeded to the city.

Three to five hundred of the Starin's passengers concluded to go ashore at Port Morris and foot it to Harlem, where they could get the elevated cars and get home. The rest of the excursionists came to the dock in city, where they arrived at four o'clock, hungry, tired and disgusted. THE HILL ELOPEMENT CASE. Sensational Testimony of Young Lawyer Marchand. PITTSBURG, July 6.

-J. T. Marchand, the young lawyer who eloped with the heiress, Mrs. Hill, from Greensburg, was a witness today before the master in the equity proceedings brought by Mrs. Hill against her husband and Roger O'Mara, Chief of Police of this city, for conspiracy.

Marchand's testimony was in direct contradiction of Hill's evidence regarding the pursuit and capture of the fleeing couple and the subsequent transaction about the transfer of the money and property. Marchand swore that 0'Mara threatened him Hill and induced them to come to Pittsburg under threats; that he took $1800 from Mrs. Hill, of which he took $750 and returned the rest, which she gave to Frank Hill, and that he refused to let her get the lawyer she wanted after they reached here. He also asserted that O'Mara offered to get rid of Hill for $1500, and see that witness and Mrs. Hill would get safely out of his reach.

This, of course, O'Mara denies. He says he will wait till he gets on the stand before he would talk, but he would say this much, that Marchand stated falsely when he testified as above. SHOOTING AFFAIR. A Baltimore Dentist Avenges a Great Wrong. FREDERICK, July city is considerably excited over the shooting in Main street of H.

R. Besant by Dr. Joseph A. Webb, which occurred last night. Dr.

Webb, who is a wellknown Baltimore dentist, was raised here, and has recently learned that Besant wronged Miss Mary Need, Webb's cousin, who is now in an insane asylum, having become deranged from brooding over the death of her child. Besant was walking with a friend when Dr. Webb met him. The latter deliberately drew a pistol and fired at Besant five times. The only shot that took effect struck Besant in the right arm above the elbow, shattering the bone.

The ball cannot be extracted as yet, and it is feared that blood poisoning will set in, All the parties concerned in the affair are respectably connected. Dr. Webb was this morning released on bail, and at once returned to Baltimore. There is no doubt but that he intended to kill Besant, and that the latter's life was saved by the uncertain light, the shooting having been done at dusk. Failure in the Grocery Trade.

NEW YORK, July Moorehouse wholesale grocers, made an assignment this morning, for benefit of creditors, to James F. Whise, with preferences amounting to $57,455. Mr. 8. Moorehouse states that the assignment was due to the sudden death of his step-father, Henry H.

Kattenborn, last Friday. The firm had discounted accommodation notes to the extent of between $50.000 and $60,000, bearing the indorsment of Mr. Kattenborn as security. Ten thousand dollars of that paper fell due on Saturday, and, it not being possible to renew in the absence of Mr. Kattenborn's signature, necessary.

Suicide. PITTSBURG, July tragedy 00- curred at the Parker House. in Latrobe, to-day, in which Dr. J. Keenan, of Latrobe, and formerly of Somerset, committed suicide by shooting himself through the head.

He was found in his room shortly after the shot was fired. No cause is assigned for the deed other than temporary insanity. The vietim was a close friend of Frank B. Keenan, who shot and killed Mack Dixon at the same hotel a short time ago. Gale at Apalachicola.

DENVER, July 1.15 this morning fire was discovered in the Academy of Music, and before the Fire Department could get to work the flames were leaping through the building in half a dozen places, and in a few minutes the structure was one mass of flames. The heat was so intolerable that the firemen were driven from the front of the building, being unable to stand the heat. It soon became evident the doomed, intense, and the firemen devoted themselves to saving the Rocky Mountain News building and the Goode and McClintic blocks, which were adjoining, which are now on fire. The flames spread so rapidly and the heat became so intense that in less than fifteen minutes after the discovery of the fire the wires of the Western Union Telegraph Company, whose office is in the block directly across the alley from the academy, were melted and all the service was destroyed. The operators managed to save the Wheatstone and other valuable instruments, though several of the relays were destroyed.

The fire was the quickever witnessed in Denver. A hundred engines could not have saved the building, which was a mass of ruins within an hour after the alarm was given. The ground floor was occupied as business houses, in which several men were sleeping at the time of the fire. all of whom were rescued by firemen except Tim Enright, an old roustabout who worked in the saloon of John Kineavy. Enright retired at twelve o'clock last night in an intoxicated condition, and was forgotten until too late, and he perished in the flames.

The cause of the fire is at present unknown. As near as could be learned the losses are as follows: P. F.

Loss, insurance, $6500. Origin of fire unknown. HEAVY FAILURE. Pennsylvania Tack Works, Norristown, Seized by the Sheriff. NORRISTOWN, July Sheriff this morning took possession of the Pennsylvania Tack Works, of this place, on execution for nearly $29,000.

The works, which have been operated since 1865, are the property of a corporation. C. P. Weaver, the manager, is the largest stockholder. He confessed the judgments, ten in number, this morning, and had execution issued.

One is to himself, as trustee under the will of his wife, lately deceased. Others are to relatives and employees of the works. Weaver attributes the crash to the failure of the Central Manufacturing Company in April last. The latter was a combination of tack manufacturing companies, formed in 1882, to control the business. The Pennsylvania Tack Works took $32,500 of the stock, paying par value.

When the Central Manufacturing Company went into liquidation the stockholders received 25 per and there is no hope of them getting more. The Pennsylvania Tack Works also owe the Central Company $20,000 for materials, for which notes were given, indorsed by Weaver. The first of these notes came due last Saturday and could not be met. This precipitated the crash. Some of the paper is said to be held by the Peoples Bank of Norristown, however, is in no danger, as it holds collateral.

The real estate of the tack works heavily mortgaged, and there is small prospect that any but preferred creditors will realize their money. Work has been suspended, but the works will probably be started to work up material on hand in the interest of the creditors. A YOUNG BRUTE. Two Young Ladies Shot in the Face by Boy. PROVIDENCE, R.

July about halfpast six o'clock last evening, while Agnes Lynn and Kate Kiernan, both aged seventeen, were sitting in a vacant lot in the northern part of the city, they were approached by an acquaintance named Joseph E. Nolan, aged eighteen, who deliberately pointed a single-barreled shotgun at them. They becoming alarmed, sprang to their feet, crying, "Don't shoot!" Nolan pulled the trigger, discharging a heavy load of bird shot into the faces of the girls. They fell, bathed in blood, and Nolan, dropping his gun, ran away. They girls were conveyed to their homes.

Agnes Lynn was found to be very seriously injured, and will probably lose both eyes. The Kiernan girl, though suffering great pain, was not dangerously hurt. Nolan was found in hiding in the Old Horse Burying Ground. When locked up he protested his innocence, claiming that the shooting was accidental, but there is al belief that jealousy of one of the girls caused him to commit the deed. TABLING THE TARIFF.

The Young Men's Democratic Association Repeat Their Former Performance. At a meeting of the Young Men's Democratic Association last night J. Davis Duffield offered a set of resolutions requesting Congressmen to take steps to bring about such revenue reform as was advocated in the platform of the last Democratic National Convention. After some discussion, John J. Molony, who seconded the motion, said that it was probably too late for Congress to revise the tariff this session, and Postmaster Harrity, taking him up, moved that the resolution be tabled, which was adopted by a viva voce vote.

At Newberry yesterday 30,000 cords of wood belonging to the Vulcan Furnace Company burned, and the furnace will probably be shut down in consequence.

Everything is very dry, and the fire runs through the woods with fearful rapidity. Trains are delayed and crops are burned up for want of rain. A Long Standing Account. (Va.) Gazette. General Early's Black Servant.

Mr. Jeremiah Long, of Fairfax county, has written a letter to Mr. J. T. Hill, of this city, inclosing a bill for sixty cents for mending two canteens and a candlestick at Fairfax Court House, on September 7, 1861, when the Confederate army was at that place.

He writes that he would have sent the bill before, but, having mislaid the book in which he kept such charges, he could not recollect the exact amount, though he remembered perfectly the transaction; but having found his book, he now sends the bill. He ealls Mr. Hill's attention to the fact that there is also interest due on the bill, but he leaves the amount to be paid for such interest with him. He states that about the same time he did work for some of the "dignitaries" of the army amounting to $5, but was unable to collect his bill, and last fall he saw Governor Lee and mentioned the matter to him, when the Governor promised that he himself would pay him. Under these circumstances he thinks Mr.

Hill should pay the sixty cents, if not the interest also. Mr. Hill, who was with the army at the time, says he recollects that his whisky canteens were frequently empty while he was at Fairfax Court House, so they must have been in a leaky condition and needed mending, and will send the amount of his One of the best known characters in Lynchburg, Va, is "Jube Early's nigger Joe." Joe is an old negro with all the dignity of a body servant of the slavery days, and his affection for the general amounts to worship. "Jube" owned Joe before the war, and owns him still, Joe never having been freed, scorning to accept what he says does not belong to him, and saying as long as "Mass Jube" was alive Joe is his slave. Early is very fond of his slave, and would shoot else.

quicker in defense of the negro than body He has given Joe carte blanche to anybuy what he likes in the town, and has instructed storekeepers, no matter what Joe wants, or how much it will cost, to give it to him send the bill to his master. Sometimes Early gets rather the worse for whisky, and then a comical sight is seen. Joe follows him like a dog, and when the general gets very drunk Joe will say: "Mass Jube, you mus' come home." "Why, you black rascal, what do you mean? I'm your master." "Yes, Mass Jube, when yous'e sober; when yous'e drunk I'se "Well, I reckon you are right, old man. I'll go with you." -Boston Traveller. GENERAL CARR TALKS.

He Says the Republican Party Has Been Betrayed by Corrupt Men. NEW YORK, July 6. -General Joseph B. Carr, of Troy, looking unusually robust this afternoon when a reporter met him at the Gilsey House. he was just from the battlefleld of Gettysburg, added that young man should go and look at that historie battle ground.

"Are you still in politics, general?" "No: I have retired permanently. For the past six months I have enjoyed an elysium of rest, the first I known for years. I like the quiet and have no desire to enter politics again." "What is your objection to polities?" "I object to the treachery and designing tricks of the politicians. The Republicans were deteated by their own men. It has come to such a pass that honest men shrink from politics.

Why? Because designing tricksters manipulate the elections to suit themselves and sell out party. I have no faith in the immediate future of the Republican party on that account. Talk about 1880 to retrieve our losses -it is all nonsense. Our party stands no chance in the future, unless we get men who are not designing tricksters." "Do you believe that you were defeated for Lieutenant-Governor by trickery in the Republican party?" "I have strong proof of treachery, enough to convince me that I was the mere tool of designing politicians, who caused my defeat. I don't propose to be the tool of knavish and dishonest men, and therefore I have retired from politics.

I hold that if a man is dishonest in politics he is dishonest in private life. It is just the principle, and 'I don't propose to countenance these political "Are you still a staunch Republican?"

Stetson was over here the other day and he told me that he believed there was not the slightest truth in the report that the next Gilbert and Sullivan opera was to be called The Khedive "In point of said he, "there are only four people in the world who know what the opera is about, and there is probably only one person who is aware at this time of what the title will be. Gilbert, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Carte and Miss Lenoir are the only folks who have any definite knowledge regarding the piece, and Mr. Gilbert has not probably told any one of the other three about the title.

It has been his custom. thus far, not to allow the name of a new work to be known to anybody but himself until the first rehearsal, when he announces it to the company. Of course I am not prepared to say what the name of the forthcoming work is to be, but I will bet $50 to $10 that it is not The Khedive. We can't even tell as yet whether the scene is to be laid in Egypt or in India. In fact, the only thing I know about it, is that Miss Lenoir said the opera would require Eastern costumes, and would give opportunity for more gorgeous costumes and scenery than had yet been used with any of the Gilbert and Sullivan works.
