Some Of the gentlemen disappointed in not

The c. B. s. Q. switch for the new flint house
Was sisked out by Supt. Alexander this week,
and materials for erecting the building are being
rapidly hauled TO the ground.
Touching the window glass trade, Pittsburgh
telegram of May % says: The window glass
manufacturers have unanimously decided TO
close down their works June for the summer.
There was some opposition to the movement but
all came into line finally. Window. glass houses
usually close down for hot weather July |, but
owing TO the over production and high wages
the step is taken one month earlier this year
The warehouses are well stocked, but il Is ex.
peeted this movement will cause an increase in
price. The shutdown is understood to be for
three months, but manufacturers are opposed TO
paying the present rate of wages TO blowers next
year, and 1t Is probable a reduction In wages will
be made during the vacation, which may cause
siill further suspension. The manufacturers
claim that they are now paying 20 per cent
more wages than they ever paid. The blowers
will resist any reduction in wages"
OTHER ITEMS.
The Tile Co. have fired their frat kiln and have
q large gang Of men at work erecting another

Russell & Son, furniture dealers, have been
erecting finishing shop In the rear of their fur
Di,ure store. Heretofore their finishing was
done down stairs. The new room will be much

OsMAN IL HAPFMAS.

A lad named Riddle, son OF glass.blower,
while watching the procession yesterday, fell
backwards out Of Hamalle's wagon, striking the
back of his head. He was for some inexplicabe
reason left two hours without treatment though
from the hrst showing signs of hurt. He was
at last picked up by the police and taken to the
health officer, DR.. Hathaway, who found him
partially paralyzed though semi.conscious. He
authorized treatment, and as the boy is but L!
or II years old he will doubtless recover.

The boatmeR and warehouse. men along the
line OF the Illinois and Michigan Canal have de-
termined to ask of the canal commissioners q re-
duction Of tolls for 1881. What the commission
ers will do in the matter s, of course, impos-
sible for us to say; yet it is not likely the reduc-
ton will be made, since tolls are very light now.
and not enough, should unforeseen contingencies
arise, TO maintain the canal, to say nothing OF
making such improvements rs should be made.
The rate is two mills per 900 lbs. per mile.
Since the bulk Of the corn goes no further than
Joliet this rate is not at all excessive. In add
ton to shipments being generally for short dis
taHces, ii is believed by canal men that the bulk
transported this season will be comparatively
hight, and the amount Of tolls much reduced.
This is especially true the river, since the ice
fleets, me king most OF the revenue there, will
pay no lockage tolls, haviCg passed down during
high water. Nor would the reduction be of spe.
cial advantage to either warehouse or boatmen
in competing with railroad houses, seeing that
without doubt the Rock Island road would at
once make a similar reduction in its tariff. The
reduction would put money into the warehouse.
mems pockets, OF course, but would that much
cripple the canal, whose managers should be
wary in drawing against the appropriation made
for it, and do so only as a last resort. Aside
from the tolls on grain, those on other articles
also have been carefully adjusted to make all
other shipments inexpensive as compared with
railroad tariffs. This Is the view Of the case
taken by friends OF the canal, looking at the sub
ect in the light OF the future, and lie in substance
what may be argued against the reduction that
will doubtless be asked by the warehouse men.

Pumb's party of surveyors have completed
their surveys and departed for new pastures.
They examined all the ravnes north, finding that
between the Brush and Whittlesey places the
easiest to climb. The proposed plan to cross
west of town, following the ridge" to the ra-
vine named would be IA excellent route, for 1t Is
altogether likely new glass factories will be
built in the locality touched by this line, and a
large local trade would be given the road. 1t is
said the Deer Park and Utica people are making
an effort to divert the road through the latter
village. The road when on the prairie north Of
this valley will take direct route to Rochelle
for connections there. The road would be ralu-
able to Ottawa, and will no doubt be literally
treated in the matter Of right of way whenever
the managers are ready to lay their track.
The Rock Island road earned net in lSS0-Sl,
a. 500, 49, As, equal to l0 per centon the stock.
The stock was worth li3iG@l475s on the 18th.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul has Dor
rowed $4,000, 900. The right OF way for the ex-
tension of the Chicago Il Pacific division OF this
road at Rockton, H., south to Rockford, about
eighteen miles, has been secured and the road
will be in operation at that point by September.
