Here and There Among Our Hives OF
Industry.

Messrs. Schultz & Yunk, well known to
Goyington people, have fitted up a fine mer-
chant tailoring establishment under the
Madison House. They show very good
assortment of foreign and domestic cloths

who had hosts of friends who knew him
when a member of the firm of G. +. Hay
man a Co., will be pleased to find him on
the second floor at John Shillito d Co.'s
Race and Seventh streets.
Since A. r. Toph & Co. took chargeof
the Madison House, about two months
since, they have reftted and refurnished it
from cellar to attic. A good hotel has been
needed in this locality for some time.
Judging from their register and the talk OF
business men in the neighborhood the new
proprietofs are competent to keep one.

! trict, rises to q question of privilege and

One of the neatest little buildings lately
put up is the one now about completed
next the Amazon Insurance Company's Of
fee on Vine street above Sixth, and owned
by this company. 1t is about l5 by so
feet, and two stories, the lower to be occu-
pied by we'll known merchant tailor
about the list of March, and the upper by
the Offices of the Amazon Company. 1t
would be difficult to imagine building in
better taste-than this,
We looked in at the office of the National
Lubrieating Company, on Saturday, and
found NJ. Dolgar, the Superintendent full
of business To-day he ships by the new
Southern several barrels and large num-
Der of cases of their specially to A. B. Bos-
tic, Atlanta, Ga. The National Lubricant
is Just what is needed in that section to
make everything run smoothly.
The carmen who make q business of
moving people with their big wagons re-
port dull times in the moving line. There
are eighty of these huge cars in Cincin-
natl, and their principal stands are at
Eighth and Plum and the old Fifth-street
market-space The active season. begins in
April and RACES through May and gener-
ally by spasms throughout the year, ex-
oept January and February, and July and
August Unlike New York moving is
not confined in Cincinnati to the LIST of
May.
Col. N. R. Warwick, ticket agent, 131
Vine street, Burnet House, reports an ac-
tive emigrant movement going on into Ar
kansas, the slaves, shingle and hickory
timber demand In st. Louis having created
lively boom in these articles on the line
of the Iron Mountain Railroad, while the
fruit trade with st. Louis is developing
into an important industry in Arkansas.
The messenger at Little Rock reports that
one day last season 81 900 pounds of early
fruit were dispatched to St. Louis by ex-
press on one passenger train.
The improvements made at the north
east corner of Fifth and Race street, Pee
bles' old grocery stand, are very substantial,
and the clothing house there is a new
claimant to popular favor. The upper
three stories are, however, fitted up as a
clearinghouse, want long felt in Cincin-l
natl, where man can get clean room at
moderate prices. The proprietor, Mr. Nc
Ginnis, is busy furnishing thirty-tive rooms
neatly and substantially, and will have &C
commodations for seventy-fve guests. No
meals are to be provided on the premises.
We learn from Mr.. Gazzam Gano, Fresi-
dent of the Amazon Insurance Co., that the
| insurance business is assuming rather more
| hopeful tone throughout the country, the
system of Local Boards having resulted in
stiffening insurance rates sufficiently to
make them more Iemunerative. Up to re-
cent date the business has not been proh-
table. On the 1st of January for instance,
out of eighty-four companies reporting in
New York, only nine had made any money
or increase Of their reserves, and these had
done so chiefly through improval value of
their investments. Mr.. Gano thinks the
insurance business is on sounder basis
than for several years. and likely to be
more satisfactory, and therefore profitable.
The Louisville Short-Line Railroad is
now comfortably installed in its new office
i in the Virgins Block, corner of Fifth and
4 Vine, which Mr.. Shank does not blush
i when he says is the handsomest and most
complete railroad Office in the country.
The counter and wood work of the interior
are elegantly fitted up with black walnut
resting on base of chocolate-colored mar
BILE, and the floor of black and white mar
BILE, that are kept as neat as the saloon of
a grand duke. All the appointments of
the office are superb, plenty of room, and
the signs on the plate-glass windows are in
i the highest style Of the sign painters art.
i If you want to go anywhere under the sun
you will everlastingly regret it ii you fail
to travel by the Short-Line Road or fail to
i buy your ticket in Mr.. Shank's ,brand-new
Office.
