The remodeling of Emporium Furnace, making it now equal if not superior to any plant in the country, is rapidly nearing com pletion and it is the desire of Mr. Andrew Brady to light the lires this month if possible. Col. Brady, who has personally I rebuilt the plant at a cost nearing the 6100,000 mark, is certainly to be commanded. His reputation as an Iron Master is one of the best in the land and we hope his fond est expectations may be realized. The brick crew under Chas. A. Bell, of Lebanon, who bricked the original plant, is rushing the re lining, having a large crew of ex pert men at work. When the new whistle, the large one that used to be on Howard & Go's mill, toots the glad tidings, we should all give the master mind, Col. Andrew Brady, a serenade. Kautz—Kester.
