old corrupt milk dealers. The latter
bought up all the tin milk cans, and
bribed all the manufacturers not to
supply the association until some days
after it was to begin operations. 1t
WAS only after much difficulty that the
needed cans were obtained In New
York. Can shoppers could not be
found, as the man who made them was
opposed TO the association. After the
ENTERPRISE was fairly started, all man

Thousands OF the associations cans
have been stolen, its employees have

shen. valley RAILROAD Company.

Reports OF the suspension Of work on
the road of this company having been
circulated, we have endeavored to as
certain the facts in relation thereto,
and on inquiring in such quarters as
would be likely to furnish US most ac-
curate and reliable information we have
learned that owing to the arrangement
and confusion OF the money market, the
contracting company has for the pres.
ent determined to suspend work, pay
of its employees till date, aud wait until
more healthy turn is restored to
financial affairs, which it is believed
will be in the course OF few weeks
The company has felt that this course
would best subserve the interest oi all
parties concerned, and we have no
doubt it will be SO regarded by all who
feel concerned in this important work.
