Mr. Stober, candidate for State Treasurer, made a distinct hit with, those, who met him last night on account of his resemblance, both In speech and manner, to Henry Houck, present Secretary of Internal Affairs, who made many friends hero while deputy superintendent of public instruction. Mr. Stober is a Jolly Lancaster County German, who looks  ery inch a man of solid integrity. He is said to be the most popular man in Lancaster County, and it is easy to see how that could happen. There was no speechmaking—only a reception which was decidedly informal, Mr. Slsson and Mr. Strober expressing gratification at their reception here and elsewhere th:—1tighout the State, and the belief that the ticket tfould be carried through to its usual glorious victory. At the hotel they held a formal reception and for three hours the voters streamed through the lobby shaking hands with the candidates and Mr. Cox and Capt. Jack.

At Franklin, where the tests h'.id been conducted in the past, a slight cord, not visible to the naked eye, but nevertheless there*, apeared in all the glass. It refused to lie straight on the lehr. For a time Mr. CoJburn believed that his machine was at fault, but I'ater decided that the melting tank and lehr at Franklin were faulty. The test yesterday proved that he was correct. Not the slightest trace of cord was apparent in the glass turned out, and the lehr trouble was entirely done away with. For some time the company of which Mr. Colburn is president, has been installing one of the machines at Reynoldsville, and at the jtest'of the machine yesterday morning, every defect that had troubled the inventor before, was done away with, and a quality of gl'ass was produced between ttoe best hand blown material and At twelve o'clock hist night, the Star Glass Works at Reynoldsville started in to manufacture window glass for the trade with .a Colburn machine doing the work. With a future, unless all signs fall, as they produce as much glass per day in the future, unless alll signs fail, as they did when the article was produced there by the hand blow process with a force of over 250 men. After destroying countless machines and expending thousands of dollars, he has at last perfected a machine that bids fair to revolutionize the making of glass. Ten years ago I. W. Colburn, of Franklin, centered his efforts on the invention of a machine that would do/ away with the hard blown process. Th« result was a machine which made glass by the cylinder process, the best machine of its kind that h<as been  vented up to the present time. The saving, however, on the machine cylindrical process was so small th'at it was hardly worth considering, and he turned his attention to making glass by the sheet process.

The congregation gathered at the little chapel, praying and singing, and apparently were entirely in earnest in their belief that at 10 o'clock Christ would appear and that it would b»* all up with this mundane sphere. As that hour approached there was intense excitement, and when it passed without incident there was consternation among the faithful. Some of them declared that Christ would yet come before night, and continued to sing and pray in preparation. Others of the sect said that tln-y were convinced that for some reason the end of the world had been deferred for a year, and they were therefore just a year ahead of time.
