It is stated on good authority that a general shutdown of the plate-giass factories of tho country will take place within a month, to last an indefinite period. It is gSvun out, as a reason for this action, that the factories in the combine have become so overstocked that 11 suspension of production is an nbsolute necessity; not because of dull trade, but because the factories have no longer any room to store their unsalable product. Opponents of the organization get a hint t lint the above is not the real object of the suspension of production, but that the trust means to diminish the stock of glass in the market and then raise prices. The general stopp-tge contemplated will bring serious itieonveiiienco tollu thousands of men employed tit the factories. I). 12.

The steel steamer Corsiea collided with an unknown schooner fifteen miles ofT Thunder Day island, yesterday morning, nt daybreak in a fop;. The schooner was cut in two and went to the bottom instantly. Her ivatire erew were lost. The Corsiea had no time to wait, for the. rescue 0 ntry survivors who might be lloatino-around in the mass of wreckage, as her bow was stove in and tho water was pouring in faster than her pumps would throw it out. The Corsica was run 011 the bench In Thunder bay jnst below Ossinikoe. Her bows are all crushed In for a considerable distance. The mate of the Corsica, who was In charge ttt the time of the collision, ssiys that the Corsiea did not run into the schooner, hut that the schooner ran into the Corsica. The moment they struck, he says, the engines were reversed and the schooner disappeared in tin instant. Her disappearance was so sudden that not even her name, color or size could be made out by those on tho steamer.
