AGITATIONS AMONG THE LABOEES
3IAUKID, April 4 Great excitement -was
caused here to-day by the discovery of an
Anarchist plot to blow up the Chamber of
Deputies. The leaders of the conspirators
arrived here within the past month. The
Civil Governor had received information
that two foreign Anarchists were conspiring
with a number of Spanish Anarchists to
blow up the public buildings, and the sus
pects were accordingly watched. The pro
ject against the Chamber of Deputies was
arranged to came off on Saturday.
A Frenchman named Deval and a Portu
guese' named Feirrlera intended to conceal
a couple of bombs under the Beats in the
public gallery and then leave before the
bombs exploded. Feirreira, however, was
taken ill and the attempt was postponed
until to-day. At 4 p. 3L both conspirftors
left their houses, each carrying under his
arm a small parcel of the shape of a bottle
wrapped in a newspaper.
The police shadowed them and kept them
in sight until they reached the Cortes build
ing, where both were seen to place them
selves before the door leading to the Cham
ber of Deputies by which the President of
the Chamber and Premier Canovas del
Castillo usually enter.
X Desperate Tussle to Down Bum,
The police then decided that it w as time
to act and the) at once proceeded to arrest'
the plotters. The Frenchman, a man of
herculean strength, fought hard, but
was finally knocked down and over
powered. Both men were immediately'
handcuffed. When searched they were
found to have in their possession conical
bombs enclosed in cast iron cases' eight
inches long by three broad. A yellow fuse
similar to that ned bv smokers was at
tached to the bombs, which weie bonnd and
lightly compresed by steel wire for tho pur
pose of increasing" the strength of the explo
sion. The bombs weighed each eight pounds.
The fuse was so adjusted as to burn three
minutes I efore exploding the charge. The
bombs have not been' carefully examined as
yet, but they appeal to be loaded with
enough dynamite to blow up the Whole
Cortes.
The two prisoners have the appearance of
workmen, immediately upon being ar
rested they were conveyed to the Minister
of the Interior, where they underwent a
most searching examination. It is not
known that tho prisoners gave any clue
to their fellow-conspirators or the scops
of the plot. A document was found
on the prisoners containing a draft
of the plan of action ot the Cosmo
politan society, according to which conspir
ators mere Hi at to blow up the Chamber of
Deputies: second, the Senate; third, the Law
Courts; fourth, the Council of State: fifth,
the Ministry of 'War: sixth, the Eoval PnUee
and the Chapel, and seventh, the JUnk ot
Spain. All this woik was to be completed
before May day.
The Prisoners Hare Confessed.
The prisoners are confined m separate
cells. Each has made a confession: The
seized papeis also showed that Ferriera was
the author of the recent explosion at the
Spanish Consulate in Lisbon. Inaninterviow
subsequent to tho arrest of Ferriera
ana Deval, Premier Canmas Delcas
tollo confirmed tho teport that
tho Government bad some time
ago obtained knowledge of the intended
plot of the Apaichists and that the authori
ties had accordingly taken measures to ap
prehend the criminals as soon as they at
tempted to pat their plans into operation.
The Premfcr alio said that under the pres
ent laws ot pain persons convicted of using
explosives for unlaw ful purposes were lia
ble to be sentenced to penal servitude for
life. Parliament, he continued, in view of
the extremely dangerous attitude the an
archists were assuming would bo at
onco asked to sanction a capital sentence
lor such offenses.
WALSALL ANABCHISTS CONVICTED.
Two of Them Make Speeches to the Judges
and Others in Court.
Loroox.Marcb 4 The Walsall Anarchists,
Frederick Charles, Victor Catles, Joseph
Thomas Deakin and John Battola, wereffo
day found guilty at the Staffordshire As
sizes of "unlawfully and knowingly having
in their possession or under their control
certain explosive substances under such
circumstances as to give rise to the reason
able suspicion that they did not have them
In their possession oi under their contiol
for any lawful puipose." John Westley
and William Ditchfleld, w ho w ere also tried
on the same cbarge.were acquitted. Battola,
Charles and Caiies were each sentenced to
ten years, and Deakin to five years' im
prisonment. Charles made an address to the conrt, In
which he repudiated on behalf of the Anar
chists tho use of bombs or violence in Eng
land and other constitutional countries. He
declared that he and his colleagues -n etc the
victims of a polices manulactured plot.
Things were different in Kussia, and Anar
chists were perlcctly willing to help their
unfortunate triends in that countiy and
take the eonsequences lor so doing. Bal
lota declared th it he Knew nothing about
the matter. He was the victim of au in
trigue and the tool of a powerful central
body in Londdn. He dilated upon the wick
edness of all authority, and said that anar
chism was the only means to emancipate
the people. He concluded by shouting
"Vive L' Anarchic"
CONVICTED OF MANSLAUGHTER,
Mrst Montagu Sentenced to One Tear's Im
prisonment at Hard Labor.
Dublin, Aciil 4 The trial of Mrs. Montagu
for causing the death of her 3-year-old child,
was completed to-day, nnd a verdict was
speedily agreed upon by the Jury. Mrs.
Montagu was convicted or manslaughter
and sentenced to imprisonment for one year
at hard labor.
Much interest was manifested in the trial
and much delay was had In securing a Jury
as Mrs. Montagu's counsel challenged all the
Protestants and the Crown objected to a
number of Catlfclics. There was a large
crowd in attendance, women greatly pre
dominating. Deeming to Plead Insanity.
Mzi30CEE, April 4 Deeming's solicitor
proposes as a delenso for hU client tho plea
of insanity, and has telegraphed to England
for evidence of Deeming s madness when a
boy. Deeming recently wrote to Miss Bonn
sevel. asking her to pledge a valuable rlnn-
he gave her in order to assist him in etab-1
llshlng nur innocence, out sne declined to do
so, declaring that she believed him guilty.
FroDably Another Deeming Victim,
Dcbliw, April 4 The body or a gill has
been discovered underneath tho floor of a
cottage near Bandon, 20 miles southwest of
Cork. Tho body was buried and then cov
ered with cement in a manner Identical
with that followed by Murderer Deem
ing in the case of his wife and four children
at Bain Hill, near Liverpool.
Blew Up a Foreman's Bouse.
Brussels, April 4 Two dynamite car
tridges exploded in front of the house of a
foreman of a mine at Seraing, five miles
southwest of Liege. It is believed they were
placed there by someone who had a grudge
against the foreman. The house was consid
erably damaged, but no one was hurt.
Socialist Advised to Bo Peaceable.
Pabis, April A manifesto of the Bbcia
t
1st Secretary of Labor calls upon workmen
to organize in order that this year's May
Day demonstration may be of surpassing
strength, and expects the people to keep
calm and to leave the bonrgeolso the re
sponsibility for massacres like that at
Fourmies last year. .
THE WEABING OF THE QBE EN
By Brave Irish Soldiers Causes a Llve'y Tilt
In Parliament.
Losdox, April 4 In the House of Com
mons to-day Patrick O'Brien revived the
question of the wearing of the Shamrock on
St. Patrick's Day by Irish soldiers in the'
British army by risking wliether Mr. Stan
hope, Secretary of State for War, was aware
ol the fact that tho Northumberland Fust
leers, whether they were Irish, Scotch or
W olsh, were obliged to wear a rose on'Sfc.
George's Day. Mr. O'Brien also asked
whether the Government would provide for
the wearing of national party emblems or
allow all nationalities to wear their respee
tive favprs on their national festivals. Sir.
Stanhope replied that the rose had been the
badge of tho Northumberland Fusileers
since 1675. Tho wearing of the emblem had
no political significance and he saw no rea
son to interfere with the custom, Mr.
O'Brien was not satisfied with the reply of
the War Secretary, and he Intends to con
tinue lits badgering upon tho first occasion
thtt offers.
Tlio Hon. Dodgson P. Madden, Conserva
tive member for Dublin University and At
torney General for Ireland, said that there
are now imprisoned in Ireland under the co
ercion act only nve persons, ana tnev naa
been -convicted or unlawful assembly. No
esses of boycotting existed. This statement
was greeted with Conservative cheers.
Mr. Thomas Sexton Is it not that because
'thecoeieion act is a failure and has been
abandoned?
Mr. JIaddcn Certainly not.
Mr. William O Brien Is thoro any strug
gle that was pioceeding prior to tho passage
of the coercion act that is not going on as
heroic? Irish cheers 1
Mr. Madden I cannot answer that general
question, but the figures I quoted show the
usefulness of the act. Conseivative
cheers.
MEETING OF LONDON'S UNEMPLOYED.
The Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral Boundly
Denounced by the Speakers.
Lomxtx, April 4 Another meeting of un
employed workingmen was held at Tower
Hill to-day. A number of addresses were
made, in which the speakers violently at
tacked the Very Key. Bobert Gregory, Dean
ol Saint Paul's Cathedral. Itwlllbe re
called that at one of the meetings held last
week a deputation was appointed to
wait upon the Dean to ask bis
advice as to the course the unem
ployed should follow. The Dean received the
deputation which was headed by tho negro
Wade, and told them among other things
that he would deliver a sermon Sunday in
St. Paul's in their behall. In his sermon,
esterday the Dean made no reference to
the workingmen, and' the result was that
they were and are deeply incensed at his'
failure to fulfil his promise.
The meeting finally adopted a resolution
in favor of the disestablishment of the
Church of England, and appointed a depu
tation to visit the Key. Joseph Parker, pas
tor of the Congregational City Temple, to

CATHOLICS IN FBANCE.
A Communication From the Pope, Who
Will Uphold Liberty in the Pulpit.
Paris, April 4 Important communica
tions are passing between the Papal Nuncio
at Paris and the Vatican on the attitude of
the Catholics in France. The Pope con
demns the Jesuits for causing scenes in the
Chamber of Deputies.wlnle at the same time
he has notified Franco ot his intention to
maintain liberty in the pulpit.
The Pope's instructions strongly oppose
the uncea-ing intiigues of the Monarchists
to restore the old regime, and emphasize
the necessity for the formation of conserva
tive societies throughout the provinces

port of the Republic His Holinesss recom

SC0BNS UNCLE SAM'S CASH.
An Italian Paper Advises the Government
to Itrject an Offer of 820,000.
Home, April I The Tribima referring to
the offer of 5:0,000 reported to have been
made by the United States Government in
connection with the dispute growing out of
the massacre of Italians in New Orleans,
adied the Italian Government to reject
the offer irit be accompanied by the reser
vation that the money Is given solely as a
maik of friendship for Italy.
A denial of liability, says the Tribuna, will
make the otter an act of degrading charity.
Semi-official papers deny the teport that
such an offer 1ms been made, but they deny
it in terms that lead to the belief that the
denial i elates to the form and not to the sub
stance of the report.
Now He Denies Being Jack the Ripper.
Melbourne, Australia, April 4 In con
trast to his behavior on first being lodged
in prison here.Deeining now assumes a bold
front. He has said to his solicitors, "Wait
until I get out and I will make the news
papers sit up. I w 111 sue every one of them
for libel. The idea that I had anything to
do with 'Jack the RIppei's' work is absurd."

ARGENTINE REPUBLIC TROUBLES.
Confidence Restored, Although There Is
Still Discontent In tho Army.
BueosAtbes, April 4 The excitement
that has prevailed hoi e for some days past
in consequence of the fears that the Badicals
were about to attempt to overthrow the
Government, is qulotlng down, and it is be
liovcd that the decisive action of the author
ities In ordering to tho city largo detach
ments of artillery and cavalry has bad the
caect oi putting a uamper on any revolu
tionaiy ideas entertained by the Badicals.
To-day telegraphic and postal communica
tion has oeen restored, and, save for the un
usually la-gc number of soldiers about the
streets, the city wears its normal aspect. It
Is believed that no further trouble need be
anticipated.
Tho ttate of siege proclaimed on Saturday,
in consequence of political troubles, will
piobably be maintained until May, when
Congress meets, although it may be raised
an 24 hours. The Badicals, it Is said, may de
cide not to vote at the May elections on the
giound that they were unable to complete'
their organization. Under any circum
stances the Radicals would be shown to be
In a great minority, and some of tho more,
cautious of that element would be glad of a
pretext to a old risking theirlivcs at the
polls. Althougn there is -considerable dis
content in the army with the Government,
especially with the Minister of War. it is
not llkelv to prove sufficient to lead many
of the officers or men to actually revolt.
With the military remaining loyal confi
dence vlll rapidly revive.
Old Soldiers Have a Pleasant Evening.
Tho members of General Alex. Hays Post

EATHER RAPID WORK
In the Way of History Making by the
Bering Sea Methods.
PARTY PLANS AS TO FREE SILVER.
Dalzell Not at All Disconcerted by the In
dorsements of Quay.
EXCITEMENT OYER THE CHINESE BILL
SPECIAL TELEGRAPHIC LETTER.
Bukiau or The Dispatch, i
WASHnroTON. D. C. April 4
The rapidity with which history is made
in these days is 'finely illustrated by the
discusson of the Bering Sea dispute be
tween the United States and Great Britain.
Less than 'two weeks ago the naval and
diplomatic authorities' of both countries
looked upon war as a lively possibility. The
gun foundries of the United States were
suddenly ordered to increase their speed of
manufacture, and the calmest critics looked
upon the situation as exceedingly grave.
To-day the President has almost completed
the agreement for a renewal of the modus
vivendi of last year.
Canadian sealers have been warned by
their Government that they will proceed to
the taking of seals at their own risk, pend
ing arbitration, and nothing is more im
probable in our relations with Great Brit
ain than a war. My information from the
White House to-day is that the final word
will probably pass between the two Gov
ernments within two or three days that will
conclude the peaceful negotiations; the
seals will be saved as far as possible this
year, and arbitration will put an end to all
troubles; though doubtless with no glory to
the United States, except the empty satis
faction of having given Great Britain the
biggest and most successful bluff that coun
try has had to endure in many years.
Beat Out of a Duck Shoot.
The most serious outcome of the whole
matter seems; to be that President Harrison
was deterred from going ou his duck shoot
ing excursion bv the necessity of being
within easy reaoh of Loid Salisbury by
cable, that he might finally arrange the
terms of the modus Vivendi. It is suggested
that a modus vivendi for the preservation of
the ducks at Bengies would be in order, in
the Interest of humanitarlanism, as they are
killed aolelv for "snort" and not. aa the
seals are killed, to secure their pelts for
clothtn? for the rioh and fashionable.
Judging from the reception of Senator
Morgan's remarks on his silver resolution
to-day, it does not seem piobable that the
debate will be carried to any veiy great
length. Senators absented themselvos or
gave the Senator very iadlfferent attention,
and everything possible was done to put a
damper upon any movement to precipitate a
silver discussion at this time. A few other
Senators will speak on the subject, and will
probably receive even less attention th in
Mr. Morgan, The resolutions will then proba
bly be adopted, as they InvoH o little more
than instructions to the Finance Committee
to investigate tho probable effect of pro
posed silver legislation on the country. The
plan of the anti-silver Republicans is to vote
against tho resolutions, and, indeed, against
anything looking to a further agitation of
the silver question.
Present Plans ot the Democrats.
The Democrats have about agreed to sup
port the resolutions In a body, as, by so
doing, they will seem to be liberally dis
posed toward free silver, at the same time
haying confidence that the Finance Commit
tee will be very leisurely in making its re
port and will not Involve them In any vote
on the sliver question when they do make
it. Thus, instead of being foiced to put
themselves on lecordby these resolutions,
as was interidedby tbelr author, the dodging
Senators will tiy to make them an exouse
for delay andavoidance upon all silver prop
ositions. The resolutions will give them an
opportunity to express themselves, but
they will not be forced to the point of
expression. With this opportunity
at liana, However, n mil, uoimannnuotners
remain silent, all Intelligent people will nn
deistand that the ale determined to dodge
the question because they are too cowai dly
to define tlieh position. As yet they have
not signified theli desire to speak. Of course
thev will gain nothing bnt contempt tor
their cotfardice. The people love frank
ness and courage, and the best evidence of
it is that Cleveland, who has spoken clearly
on the subject, Is the great favorite, even in
stiver States, though a tew months ago when
he announced himself against free silver It
was almost the universal cry that he had
destroyed his last chance for renomination.
Clerk Xoune Not Disturbed.
An executive session of the Senate was
held this afternoon, at which the nomina
tion of Marshal Colesberry, of Philadelphia,
was confirmed, and the proposed expulsion
of James B. Young, of Philadelphia, Execu
tive Clerk of tht Senate, for alleged infrac
tion of his oath by divulging' tho secrets of
the executive session, was Drought before
the Senate. Mr. Young was invited in by
his friends to be at hand to answer charges.
Attention was called to the matter In an in
formal way. and their violence fell upon the
august assemoiy. ,
The presiding officer timidly suggested
that If there weie any charges against Mr.
Young it would be in order to present them.
Again there was an interval of oppressive
silence. The Senator was present who bad
offered tho resolution for expulsion, but he
kept his mouth closed. After a short period
of this sort of silent communion, the Senate
proceeded to other business. The resolu
tion is, in a parliamentary sense, still pend
ing, but It Is probable it will not be heard
from again unless some Senator moves to
lay it on tho table to get rid of it. My
authority for the foregoing statements is
not Mr. Young.
Hon. John Dalzell left the capital this
afternoon for home From Pittsburg he w ill
go to-morrow to Warren, Pa., to speak on
the Senatorial question. A vigorous anti
Quay movement is reported in Warren
county, and the leaders of it want the inspi
ration of Mr. Dalzell's presence.
Dalzell Not at All Disconcerted.
The Bepresentatlve from Pittsburg does
not appear to be in the least discouraged by
recent primaries at which, In half a dozen
counties. Senator Quay has had considerable
majority of the popular vote. "Nothing has
happened," said Mr. Dalzell to me this after
noon, "that I did not anticipate. The party
machinery in all of their counties, and In
many others, has been for yeais In control
of Senator Quay and his friends, nnd, as the
rank and file aie largely Influenced by those
who have led in theparty w oik, itisnotonlv
not surprising that the vote should be
what is reported, but it is surprising that
there is so extensive a show oi opposition
at the polls, 'Again, the movement against
Senator Quay has not been felt so much in
tne rural counties as in me larsre towns unu
cities. Veiy shrewdly the primaries weie ar
ranged to occur first in the country coun
ties, where the machine is strongest. Other
more populous counties and some of the
townand cities may tell a different story.
At any rate, the fight is only begun, and no
matter what tho result at the primaries, the
experience of similar movements in tho
Sast would seem to indicate that there will
e a constant increase of inteiest and en
thusiasm until the Senatorship Is settled by
tho Legislature next winter, and that there
will be a very vigorous opposition to the
.re-election of Senator Quay,
v
A Fotoflico Department Mystery.
A vast deal of interest Is felt at the Post
office Department to kiow how the letter
In regai d to the use of the Dree JYew,
directed from Kittanning, to the anti-Quay .
Republican organizations In Philadelphia
never reached Its destination, but fell into
the hands of the Senator's friends in Arm
strong county to be used by them beforeand
at the primaries. It is said to have been re
sent to Kittanning by Mr. Frank Willing
Leach, late 8ecrotary of tho Republican
State Committee, that it saw Washington In
its travels, and altogether had a very
strange and oventful history. It is
highly propable that this letter will be heard
fiom again, and possibly as something more
than a mere subject for gossip. Friends of
Mr. Dalzell say that the proposition in re-,
gard to tho Free Prat was simply to use the
columns of a paper which had announced it
self against Senator Quay for the publica
tion, as is always customary, of political
matter at advertising rates In the news col
umns, and In no way Involved the least sug
gestion of payment for opinions or editorial
expressions, asihas been Insinuated.
Indignation at Castle Stewart.
There. Is great Indignation as "Castle
r Stewart," the home or the Chinese legation,
this evening, on aocount of the passage in
the House of the Geary bill prohibiting the
on trance of any Chinese Into the country
ozcopting the Minister and members of tho
legation. As Mr. Illtt said In his specoh
against tho bill, It abrogatos a solomn
treaty, and will be a dls?raoeful breach of
faith on the pare of the United States if It
becomes law. The bill will not probably go
so far. If not stopped by the Senate it
doubtless will be by the President.
This Is Just what Mr. Geary wants. He did
not desire to draft .a law that would be
wholly acceptable to a Republican Presi
dent and Senate. Ho represents a very close
district in his State of California. Ha was
elected as a Democrat and an "American,"
whatever that may mean, over Bar ham, Re
publican, by a majority or only 181 votes.
Should his bill, passed by tho Democratic
House, be defeated or modified by the Sen
ate, or vetoed by the President, he can
"point with piide'' to his effort and that of
his party to shut out the vagabond Chinese
absolutely. He need not ruako any state
ment In regard to the vagabonds of other
nations that are let in. His anti-Chinese
bill will re-elect him.
Of course, nobody will dispute that oheap
Chinese labor, with its accompaniment of
cheap Chinese morals, should be excluded
intoto, buta Dill which, shuts out students,
merohants. tourists, etc.. goes a step farther
than could be demanded by any sensible
person, except a member of Congress seek
ing a re-election i a close district. It may
be that the President and Senate will in
dorse the bill. Re-election necessities make
strange bedfellows. In such event "Stewart
Castle" will have a "for rent" tacked to its
doors, diplomatic relations between the
United States and China will cease, Ameri
can citizens will probably bo driven from
China and their homes looted, and another
war will have to be fought, at least on
paper. Lioutner.
MAYOR STUART SNUBBED.
The Philadelphia Councils Adjourned Be
fore Be Could Communicate With Them
There Was Important Business and
the Cltj's Executive Is Very Indignant.
Philadelphia, April i. Following
olosely upon the organization of Councils
this morning, at which peace reigned su
premo, there has come a hitch which, if not
soon mended, will widen into a most seri
ous breach. This breach will be between
Mayor Stuart and Councils, and the cause
the hasty adjournment of both branches un
til Thursday before the Mayor had an op
portunity of communicating, with them.
The action of Councils Is unprecedented,
nnd is looked upon by many as a direct snub
at Mayor Stuart. Whether or not the insult,
or supposed insult, was intentional Is a mat
ter not yet known, but there are many who
adhere to the statement that 'the hasty ad
journment was intended as an aot of dis
courtesy. When the Mayor's secretary reached the
Councils he found the doors looked, and was
told that both branohes had adjourned un
til Thursday afternoon. In the 'meantime
Mayor Stuart had sent for the new directors
or the Department of Charities and Correc
tion, and they were all at the Mayor's office
teadytotake the oath of office as soon as
Select Counoll confirmed the appointments.
Upon receiving Information of the action of
Councils Mayor Stuart was naturally indig
nant, and he was compelled to request the
new directors to call again on Thursday aft
ernoon.
The Mayor Is at a loss to understand the
action of the city's legislative body, and he
feels keenly the discouitesy shown him to
day. Many excuses wet e offered to explain
tho matter, nnd it is said that the Selectmen
became "rattled" and forgot their duties.
Another excuse is that the Upper Branch
adjourned because the other did, apparently
losing sight of the fact that important com
munications weie expected from the Major,
and that it was the duty of the two branches
to remain in session until they heard from
the head of the municipal government.
FBINCE HICHAEL EETUBNED TO JAIL.
His
Trial Will Bo" Continued on Several
Other Bard Counts April 11,
Detroit, April i Special The examina
tion of "Prince" Michael Mills and Lizzie
Court, members of the flying roll sect, who
are charged with various acts of immorality,
took place to-day. Berntce Bechel, the 15-year-old
girl who charges the "Prince" with
betrayal, was the first witness. She began
her testimony by stating that she made the
"Prince's" acquaintance at the house of her
uncle in Sarnia. Thence she went to To
ronto and later to Detroit. From heie she
received a letter from the Prince." In it
she was ordered to Join him. as she was
"called by Gbd to take the tenth place in
the God-nead respecting obedience." She
came to Detroit with her mother and anoth-
ei lady and met Millat the house of Mr.
Bell, who was one of the Prince's followeis.
Colonel Atkinson, counsel tor the prison
ers, stated that l.e had been shown the testi
mony to be used by the prosecution. As the
only purpose of the preliminary examina
tion was that tho defense might leain the
natuie of the testimony the pi osecution In
tended to offer he would waive further ex
amination for his client on the charge pre
ferred by Beinice Bechel.
Justice Haug then raised Michael's bond
$500, making the total of $2 200 and then
bound tho defendants over to theRecordei's
Court for the May term. Tho other cases
were continued to April 11 and the prisoners
were taken back to Jail.

THE
SIMPLEST
i
WAY
IS
the best way. Wisdom, iudsrment, caution
must determine for you what is the best way.
There are easy ways to do a great many hard
'things. There are easy ways of making money.
Let your wisdom suggest that you investigate the
new town of
ALIQUIPPA!
Let your caution prompt you to discover whether
the claims for a new town are true. Let your
judgment say whether a town that has a big steel
works, a big shovel works on the ground, a big
tinplate mill already projected, and other factories
asking for locations, will not prove a rich invest
ment at the low price asked for choice lots. Plans
and particulars can be obtained at the office of the
