DELEGATES TO CORNING.


The List of Representatives Given

in Detail.


Memorial Services Will be Held Over the

Graves of the Dead Glassworkers.


Since the fires have gone out and nearly every one is arranging to go away, the principal topic, especially among the delegates, is the arrangement for the trip to Corning, N. Y., that much-talked-of city, where the American Flint Glassworkers' Union propose to hold their convention this summer. All the necessary arrangements have been made and special rates have been secured over the Allegheny Valley Railroad, and it is probable that about 50 delegates will go from this city and vicinity; and if the Ohio Valley delegates go from here it will make about 80 or 90, which will be nearly one-half the number of delegates.

The privilege of stopping over at Lake Chautauqua and Buffalo is allowed by the ticket, which is good for 30 days. The stop-over at Buffalo is for the benefit of giving the delegates a chance to see Niagara Falls, which many will take advantage of while going, and others will wait until they are homeward bound before they take advantage of the wonderful sight.

The principal trains on which the delegates will leave for Corning will be the 8:20 a.m. and 8:50 p.m., Saturday, July 9. Those leaving in the morning will reach Buffalo at 5:45 in the evening, and after stopping for supper could goon to the falls, remaining there a few hours, seeing the "wonders" by day as well as by electric light; then return and go on to Corning, it being about four hours' ride from Buffalo. Those who will leave at 8:50 Saturday evening will no doubt go on right through to Corning, reaching there at 12:22 p.m. Sunday. They are depending on making their stop-off on the return trip. No doubt the largest number of delegates will take advantage of the morning train on Saturday, which will give them a chance to see the route to Buffalo and the scenes of the destruction of Oil City by the late flood and fire. Lake Chautauqua will also be a point of interest, as well as the beautiful scenery for which the Allegheny Valley Railroad is noted. Arrangements have also been made with the trunk line and Traffic Association for one and one-third rates for anyone going there who purchased a ticket outside of this city and who do not get the benefit of the reduced special rates. Parties wishing tickets should make application to Messrs. Smith and Dillon at the national office for an order for tickets.

John Howard, who was to have delivered the dedicatory address at the unveiling of the monument, will be present at the opening of the convention, and while unfortunately the monument will not be ready, Mr. Howard will deliver an address at the memorial exercise over the graves of dead glassworkers. Mr. Howard was in the city on Thursday gathering data concerning the horrible accident at Revenna, and called upon THE COMMONER AND GLASSWORKER.
