Round House.

The Burlington T. Missouri River
Railroad Co. is engaged in building
in this city, a Round House, which
will be the largest one in the State !;
II not west OF Chicago.
Its dimensions are S61 feet in cir
conference, and 27S feet in diameter.
while it will contain stalls for forty
engines.
1t is being built of the best range
work cut stone foundation, brick
walls, and the superstructure is to
be supported with iron columns, the
whole covered with Slate roof and to
be entirely fire proof in every partic-
ular. taf ..Tf 4
A large portion of this monster
building will DO ready for occupancy
in short time.
The building Of this Round House
is regarded justly BY the knowing
ones, as . preliminary to the estab-
lishment OF tho machine shops at
this place, Of that wealthy corpora
ton, as we have better facilities here
IN the way Of water, stone, timber,
and coal, than any other point on
their road, or in the State. q
The great benefit this location
would DO to Ottumwa, may be infer.
red from the fact that their machine
and car shops at Aurora Ills. on the
=. .. \ Q RR. which is substant ially
the Same company as our B. &. M

whilo their monthly pay account
foots up 90, 900, and tho population
Of that city which depends upon
these 1000 laborors for support, il
cstimatcdsat more than our cntlre

thy Of tho attention Of our public

From the Daily Courier Of 18th inst.
Every effort has been made to re.
cover the body Of Albert Orr, drown
ed here yesterday afternoon, But
without success, up to the present
writing.
The accounts are conflicting about
where he was last seen, but the
weight Of testimsny seems to favor
the statement that he went, down
somewhat further out in the stream
than was reported. to as yesterday.
3 The current is worry strong there,
and it is quite likely. that his body
floated some distance down the
stream, and may not be recovered,
for many days.
The accounts we have from oye
witnesses state that he swan heroic
ally for) dear life, and would have
perhaps made the shore, had no not
struck the whirlpool made by the
ferry landing.
This terrible death OF little Albert
which falls with such crushing
weight on his family, ought to DO a
warning to all other boys against
about the boats, or going
into the river alOnc.
