During the past year the company hus made considerable progress In the various usc-s of this motive power.

Some lima, since the company let the contract for a new tower wagon. It will be on an improved plan, end the most peculiar part of It is that the wagon will he operated by electricity.

The accident occurred about 3:30 In the afternoon when the ambulance was returning, to the hospital from a visit to the East end, where it had been for a patient, but fortunately the driver could not find the address and was returning to the hospital when the accident occurred.

THE LOT CAN'T LAST LONQ-SO DON'T DELAY. 65c combine Is the only way I can see out of It to keep from impositions being practiced. The combine to have full Jurisdiction over orders, sales and operation of the factories." Mr. Breed's views are not generally favored by manufacturers, as some want the combine to buy their plants outright and are willing to quit the business, while several others would prefer going it alone.

Mr. breed has been working hard to get a better understanding In the flint bottle trade, but the responses have not ten all that could be de'slrcd and prospects are not over rosy for anything of unusual Importance In the line of combination- developing in the flint bottle trade, unless there Is a material change in the septlment. Nearly all the big concerns favor combining, but the small factories are hard to bring Into line. The present condition of the glass tableware trado is most encouraging, and bids fair to run till the end of the present year, from which time the new patterns offered at the annual exhibit may be relied on to lift the trade well into the spring. General glassware Is also selling fairly, and while there nothing like a great boom or rush of orders, a firm, steady trade is being done, at prices rather too close, it is true, hut let us hope the combine will fix that all dp pretty soon And blown ware of the finer grades, and light cut lead brown ware of considerable range, Is In very good shape, and the flint glass business may be set down as being in very fair condition.

The Coal Trade, the official organ of the Pittsburg coal operators, says movement Is more brisk In coal to the outer markets, with somewhat Impatient rush orders from shippers at lake ports. There have been several disastrous squalls on the lakes, which, with heavy weather In the far northwest. Indicates an early winter and, the goose bone, corn husk and animal fur prophets all say, a long one. This is cheering from the producer's viewpoint, and dock managers desire heavy stocks to meet possibly large demands. A rise In the Ohio last week enabled river shippers to float out In the neighborhood of tons of coal destined for the Cincinnati, Louisville and New Orleans markets.

About the same amount was sent from the Kanawha. Southern markets were already well supplied, and considerable coal that could have been sent out was allowed to remain at the pool and harbor anchorages for the Thanksgiving day freshet. Boatmen for years have "fought the turk" afloat, and look upon It as a regular thing. Prices are soma closer to quotations at all points, but West Virginians are largely making the quotations. We hear they are meeting Pittsburg quotations with offers to supply 2,240 pound tons for the same money, and in some Instances shading the figures.

Comparative tranquility rules throughout the district at mines; there is some agitation In progress in the upper river pools, but at Individual mines only. Local consumption Is up to top figures, with prices unchanged. A public meeting of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Tin and Steel Workers was held at Bharon InBt evening, at which the national president, T. J. Shaffer, of Pittsburg, made an Interesting address.

A large crowd was In attendance, Including many of the leading iron workers of the city. The object of the meeting was to Infuse new life Into the local association, and It was entirely successful. Addresses were also made by 8. J. Lewis, president of Shenango lodge; J.

F. Ward, of Youngstown, vice president of Mahoning association, and T. Hobblns. 1 The brlrnt, bustling niUinery Department, doing mere business In a day than it did In a week, a year ago, will present for Honday, Tuesday and Wednesday, values simply unapproachable In jBOKTSJOQUESiHATS WRECK OF THE HOMKOl'ATHIC AMHULANCE.

BOTTLE COMBINE MOVEMENTS An Interesting; Talk With Promoter II reed Patrick McBryde Sa the Mini nit onditions Are Worse in the Fifth Pool Than They Are In West Virginia.

The long drawn out controversy on the window glass wage scale was practically settled after midnight. The factories will resume Monday. Details of the situation are meager, but It Is reported that the settlement was reached upon a proposition that the manufacturers pay half the snappers' wages. The joint wage committee of L. A.

300, Window GlasB Workers association, and the wage committee of the American Glass company were In session all day considering three different propositions submitted by Burns. First, that the manufacturers pay the wages of the snappers; second, that ths price of brackets be increased; third, that tho position of snapper be abolished and the output reduced. The discussion on these points was animated, and long after midnight a telephone message to the offices of the American Window Glass company elicited the reply that a compromise had been effected by the manufacturers agreeing to pay one-half the wages of the snappers. The projected Joint meeting of the Amalgamated association lodges In the Pittsburg district has been postponed from the original date, November 10, to December 3. The change was made necessary through the failure of the committee in securing old city hall for the date contemplated.

The meeting will now be held in Turner hall, South Side, on December 3. An energetic committee has been appointed to arrange details, and they already report an cluborate program, rich In speech and song. Members of all lodges in the Immediate vicinity will attend, and it Is expected that those at a diatance who cannot send a large delegation will appoint a committee, thug giving them an opportunity of hearing a report from the delegation of the educating Influence of such gatherings. Generally Breaking, the market for skilled labor presents an appearance of unwonted activity. Here and there a few strikes mid lockouts present themselves, but, fas a rule, they are industries that are seldom free from strife of this character.

These remarks do not, however, refer to trie glass workers, who could be working if It were not for squabbling among themselves. It Is In the Iron and steel manufacturing industries good barometers of trade that the brightest situation Is found. Workmen skilled In the various trades allied to these Industries find no difficulty in keeping busy at good wages. Pat McBrlde, the. veteran ex-mlners' official, who has been making a tour throughout the Pittsburg district, writes as follows to ihe Press: When one of the local miners' officials saw a statement of mine which said the fifth pool mines were on the same level with West Virginia, he declared: "They are worse, much worse.

There are no miners in this country In a worse condition thun the miners of the fifth pool. If the price of mining In the Fairmont region is low the miner has at least a high vein of coal to work. The coal In the fifth pool Is lower and harder than In the fourth. The men who own the mines are not rich and have to depend for loading on tho large operators in the lower pools. "There are no bottom lands; the hills rise abruptly from the river, so that the shanties tliut the men live in are built in little nooks and crannies, and they are the worst excuses for houses ever seen.

Two out of the three mines are idle now." it has been asked, "If the mines are so Insignllleant, why ure they bothered with?" Tho answer Is, "Because if allowed to continue they would establish a price for mining the llfth pool vein. And when it is learneri that l.ieArmlt owns acres of coal land and Jones A Laughlln a slm liar amount, It can readily be seen why it is aesiruuie lor me mill pool to pay scale rates. On the Redstone branch of the Motion gahela division of the Pennsylvania rail road are four mines. No one ever thinks It worth while to give them any consid eration Because tney are so near the coke regions. While coke Is manufactured, it is ulso true that the coal is going west Mr.

Wilson, of ihe Bishop mine, of the pannamne. nas allowea that mine to re main Idle all year, while his mine at Lit tle urinustone is wonting ana tne lump coal going to supply the lake market. The price paid for loading machine coal Is 2ii cents per ton. The dead work scale Is Ik- nored. the mines run over 10 hours a dav.

As a miner remarked, "We work 10 or lU hours a day or any old time." The day work scale is also Ignored, although some men get wages because of tne gaseous con Uitloii of ths mines. The flint bottle combination Is still a live Issue, although It has not lately been a very active one, and there are prospects of the pressed ware combination surpass Ing It. Tho main drawback nppears to be now it snail operate to control the trade. Three proposition have been considered. but eacn appears to have Its tilsadvan tages.

the iirst Is to buy all the Dlants outright, allowing tho present owners to nolo their interest as stocK. tne second is to operate it on the principle of tho present window glass combine, where the production of each plant becomes the property of the combine us soon as it enters the ware shed. The third proposition ih to lease lactones to tne comDine, allowing each company to operate Its plant ns at present, although under the direction ol the combine. Speaking on the question, R. B.

Breed, pe ret ry of the Marlon Flint Glass com pany, who hns suggested the latter plan. says: "Wo cannot operate like the win dow glass people. indow glass is a sta- plo article or sucn uniform appearance that It can readily be sold. It is only a question of slues, which can be easily ar ranged. It Is not so with bottles, which are of such a variety that when there Is scarcity of orders It would be hard to regulate the stock, If the combine leased our factories It could say what we should or should not make and could also call a halt and tell us to shut down when It be-cume absolutely necessary.

If they did not have the power to tell us what to mako and not to make, too much advantage could be taken. As. for Instance. If we were working and our orders run out, nnd we were told what to make as stock we would simply put In a panel mold or something that our men could make a big day's work on- and on which there would be considerably more for us. It would not be a question whether the combine could find a market for these bottles or not.

We could flood it with them or we could probably work a private mold with some other and would expect our compensation for this work, even though the firm that owned that mold went under before the goods were disposed of. "Leasing the factories of each concern, the same people operate them, paying them so much for handling the factories and then depending on the profits of the Scrofula And How to Eradicate It From the System Thousands of Sufferers Have Found Relief in Hood's Sarsaparllla. Scrofula appears In a great variety of forms, and varies in degree of violence. It may be 'inherited or may be caused by poisonous secretions In the blood, which are duo to foul air, unwholesome food, and neglect of the important duty of puri-fying the blood when the first symptoms of impurity appear. But whether Inherited or otherwise acquired, scrofula may be completely eradicated from the system by the use of Hood's Sarsaparllla.

The great blood purifying power of this medicine is being constantly demonstrated In thousands of wonderful cures of scrofula, hip swollen neck and every form of eruptions and sores. Remember Hood's Sarsaparllla Is America's Greatest Medicine. Sold by all druggistB. six for f5. Get only Hood's.

The company has already tried all the various makes of towir wagons ana tina tnem an wanting. The great fault with them is the delay in getting them to the placp whore the wire hns been broken.

With horss much valuable time is lost and very often pro-loneed tle-uns on the road are experi enced. The company at last decided to try electricity as the motive power for the wagons, ana as a result tne wagon will be placed for trial in a few weeks. The wagon will be on the same plan of construction as the present oms, with the addition of a few improvements. It will be made with broad tires, so that It may be operated on the asphalt or block pavement as well as on the tracks. The wagon will likely be stationed at Oakland, alongside of the ambulance, us that is the most central point, and the men In charge of it will be able to reach any desired point readily.

The new wagon will be equipped with the latest repairing outfit and will be the finest In the state, If not in the country. It will be operated by storage batteries, which will be placed In the rear of the wagon, and will be made for speed ns well as usefulness in the Hue for which It Is Intended. Ever since the Consolidated company got control of Its present system it has seen the necessity of speedy work In the case of repairing wires. Many times breakdowns have occurred which have delayed travel on the lines for hours at a time, and much of the delay has been due to the use of horses In the tower wagons. It takes time for even good horses to drag one of the heavy wagons over the streets, but with the use of electricity the wagons can be hustled from one place to another with great speed.

The wagon will be so constructed that the top may be lowered when being taken from place to place, and thus the danger of It being overturned will- be obvlfited and the speed may be, Increased accordingly. i (burned With Aggravated Assuult. At a hearlg last night before Alderman Klrhy, John Devine was held for trial on a charge of aggravated assault and battery preferred by Edward Maloney- Both men live on Arch street, and the trouble occurred over a water course. Devine changed the course and caused Maloney'e yard to flood. Maloney went to turn the water back and It is alleged that In the dispute that ensued the men beat each other with shovels.

Devine made an Information before Alderman Dyer charging Alaloncy with assault and battery. Wanted to Sell Some Ilrus. Henry Robinson, colored, tried to sell a lot of copper and brass In a Junk Btore on Penn avenue last evening, but the people refused to purchase It and notified the police. Later Officer August Mess arrested Robinson on Thirtieth street and sent him to No. 3 police station on a charge of being a suspicious person.

The prisoner, who Is about 211 years of age, said that he resided at 3421 Chariot ta street and the brass belonged to his mother. The fixings were very valuable. Arrested on Snsplclon. C. McClung, claiming to be a Pennsylvania railroad detective, and living at I.igonler.

The Bertha Rauh-Cohen memorial annex to the Gusky orphanage, Pcrrysvllle avenue, Allegheny, will be dedicated next Sunday andthe Hebrews of the city are making elaborate preparations for the event. The annex was donated by Aaron Cohen, in memory of his wife. It cost 110,000, and is complete throughout and modern in every detail. It is built of brick and sand stone and stands directly beside the Gusky home and connected with It by means of a large hall. It presents a fine appearance from Perrysvllle avenue and Rlvervlew park and Is In keeping with the architecture of the Gusky edifice.

The Gusky home was somewhat cramped for room and Mr. Cohen decided that Instead of erecting a separate institution it would be more advisable to erect the home and run it in connection with the Gusky aByluni. The work was started some 10 months ago and last week the building was completed. The work of the Gusky home has been excellent and many homeless waifs have been cared for and fitted for the battle of life since Its Inception. With the new annex It will be able to take better care of the children and give them more room.

Tne dedicatory exercises will take place at 2 o'clock and the nrincinal feature of the ceremonies will be the address of Dr. Philipson. of Cincin nati. Many other addresses will oe maao by prominent Hebrews and Master Walter S. Cohen will ttarn over the keys of the new building to the management of the home.

The music will be furnished by the Eighth Street temple choir. The complete program will be announced this week. Serious Offense Charged.

Peter Maurer and Benjamin Myers charged with disorderly conduct on a West end street car last Wednesday evening, were given a hearing before Alderman Madden, of the West End, last night. David Walker, conductor, testified that the men boarded his car, both of them under the tnftuence of liquor, and Maurer smoking a pipe, which he ordered him to put out. Maurer refused to obey the conductor's orders, and In the scuffle that followed In trying to eject him from the car, a window was broken. Myers interfered and in tho row that followed was struck on the hand with a switch iron, breaking one linger and bruising the hand badly. Maurer also received a blow with the same Implement, cutting a deep gash across his forehead.

Under oath both Maurer and Myers said they had taken only three or four drinks, they ascribing the trouble to Myers, who was wet and muddy, wanting to ride on the platform, which the conductor would not allow him to do, finally throwing him off the car. The motorman, Paul Smith, hit him and Maurer with the switch Iron. Several passengers added their testimony to the already mixed up story, so that the end both the alderman and H. O'Toole claim agent for the company, who was present to represent the compan-ny's employes, almost gave up the effort to tell who was to blame, but in summing up the case. Alderman Madden said: "It is evident, in spite of conflicting stories, that these two men were drunk and disorderly and should be punished.

A fine of 10 and costs or the alternative of 30 days In Jail was Imposed, both of the prisoners expressing a preferenco for the jail. A cross suit, charging assault and battery. Instituted by Maurer and Myers against Smith and Walker, was not heard. Dr. C.

The strike of the motormen on the Pittsburg, Neville Island Coraopolls Electric railway on last Monday evening Is still on, although the company has replaced the striking employes and are operating the road. The alleged cause of the strike was a rumor that the superintendent Intended to discharge the old force of motormen, who are nearly all residents of the island, and to replace them with men from the city, a story that was borne out by the action of the superintendent In placing extra men on all the cars to learn the run. This, with the fact that the motor-men had to act as conductors and collect the fares while the cars stood on the switches waiting for another car to pass, constituted the grievance of the men, who ran their curs into tho shed on Monday night and quit work. Since that time they are said to have been agitating a boycot of the line among the farmers of the Island, who are the principal patrons of the line. As they are all residents of the neighborhood they are meeting with some success, and It proposed to hold a meeting early in the week, at which resolutions may be passed endorsing the action of the striking employes and asklncr all residents of the Island, nearly all of wnom own- norses.

dered to go to the East end for a private patient. They started and arrived In the residence district, but could not find the number given them, and after hunting around for almost an hour, started for the" city and drove up South Negley to Fifth avenue. When they arrived at the latter atreet they each looked out for cars, but could see none, and pulled upon the track and were driving along the avenue at a trot, when without warning the wagon was struck and overturned, throwing the doctor and driver from the seat and into the middle of the street and knocking the horses down and the driver on top of them. The car which struck the wagon was going at such a rate that the horses were pushed several feet along the street before it could be stopped. As soon as the motorman who had charge of the car was able to stop It, the passengers jumped out and ran to the rescue of the doctor and driver, but both men escaped without any eerlous injury.

The doctor has several cuts on his head from coming In contact with the paving stones and Driver McCuno got off with a few bruises. In the meantime some of the passengers who had been 6n the car, thinking that some injured or sick person was in the ambulance, were trying to right that vehicle in order to get Inside. The doctor informed them that It was empty, and the anxiety of the rescuers was then turned to wrath and they with one accord turned on the motorman, whom many said made little effort to avoid the collision, some alleging that he did not even ring his bell, lie is positive that he did, and Dr. Twltchell and Driver McCuno say that If he did they were unable to hear It and that he should have stopped his car until they could get out of the way, as had they had a patient in the wagon, the accident would probably have cost a life. Traffic was delayed only for a few minutes, for, with the usual rush that this company does things with, the wagon was thrown to one side In order to let the cars pafs.

The horses were raised to their feet and found to be badly cut about the knees and sides. The wagon was brought to the hospital, where the doctor had his wounds and bruises dressed and Driver McCune looked after the horses. The people who saw the accident were very Indignant and say that it is a wonder that more accidents do not occur in the East end districts, as the niotormen run their cars at a fearful rate, regardless of life or anything else, as they use the stretch between Shady avenue and Craig ptreet to make up lost time, and many pedestrians have had narrow escapes from being run over. Henry Felling, aged about 50 years, was Quite badly hurt yesterday afternoon by being struck by car No. H5, of the Consolidated Traction company, on Fifth avenue, near I'ride street.

He sustained two severe scalp wounds, which were dressed by Dr. R. L. Taylor, police surgeon, and he was then removed to his home, on Pride street. Felling was attempting to cross the street when the accident occurred.

He apparently did not notice the approach of the car. TRACTION ACCIDENTS. Charles George Hnrt In a Collision on Den Venue Avenue.
