In conversation with wealthy resident

said the gentleman, "to form stock

two squares distant from the depot
and then to lease the building to some
responsible and experienced party for a

willing to take $5 900 of the stock; am
down for $4,000. The stock holders will
determine by vote upon the location.
There are several excellent locations; one
1T the corner of Fifth and Pac 'fic avenues,
and another on Third avenue, between
First and Second streets. Our argument
is that the town is building southwark
and that the hotel should go with the
tide. The Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul road is certain to enter the town
from the south and that will give 'boom'
to our enterprise. You can count on it
that this hotel will be built, and speed

general surprise and disappointment over
the action Of Judge Corey in the Book

dismissed John Trumbull from custody.
Hall and Trumbull have been admitted

A Turk on the Egyptian War

Philadelphia Times
"lf the Arabs in Egypt are defeated" said
the Rev. MIR. Mtngasarian, who arrived from
Egypt a shoIt time ago, in his sermon last
night at Bethany Church. There is hope that
they may finally be saved and We may pre-
pare To bury the Mohamme,lan religion A
few days ago the first British gun was fired,
and to-day Alexandria, that ancient city of
science, OF philosophy and of art, lies almost
i'll ashes. During the five days hundreds.
thousands of people died either by the sword
of the Arabs or by the fire of The British, and
to-day 'he one thought in the heart of the
Arabs is to take vengeance. and the one
thought IN the heart OF The British is to take
vengeance. The British t.my mher The 18th of
June, and vengeance rs the cry the Arabs re-
niembcr ali the past oppression of foreign gov
ernnlrnis. and vengeance is their cry. 1t can
be safely said That *, long rs the Arab has q
sword in his hand. long will he murder
Christians wherever he can tinii them There
fore, the safest thing Tor Europe to 10 is To
take the power out of their hands.
"The cause of Englands action was not ex-
actly a just one | have no doubt that tie
time will come when the Arabs will be power
less. But now the action of Arab Bey is a
noble one. Egypt owes England much money
and there are many English officers who re-
ceive high salaries IN the land. Arab Bey,
who loves Egypt, sees the foreigners coming
In and taking all the money, and the Egypt
ians heavily taxed, while the foreigners are
not. Other countries have debts, but they
have no foreign officers. You have heard OF
the false prophet, as he is called by the Ameri
can newspapers. But the Arabs think him a
true prophet 1t is predicted that prophet
shall arise, and this one, with large army, is
marching to join Arab. No other soldiers
fight as the Bedouin Arabs as long as their re-
ligious fire remains. When such religious
fire binds these armies together there will be
an enormous uprising in the East. When
Islam again takes the sword and is defeated it
will see that God is not fighting for it, and the
proud Turk will see that Christians can fight,
even if they do not believe in Mohammed and
the Koran.
"The Arabs never fight for land or power.
1t is religious war every time. They know
that the gates of Paradise are under the sword;
that the sword is the key to Paradise. You
can see that the uprising of one hundred and
eighty million people by religious fcrvor, Is
no common event. You have read that the
Sultan will not send troops into Egypt. He
is afraid to send people OF the same faith
The Turks hate the English as much as the
Arabs do. They profess admiration and
friendship for the English and French but at
heart they hate them. / have heard that it
was not considered crime to murder an un-
believer after trying to convert him. 1t is wise
in the Sultan not to send troops into Egypt.
The English are doing their best to establish
order in Egypt l come from the land, and rs
far as my convictions go we had better order
before. 1t is not the good OF Egypt that
England seeks, but her own advancement"

The Great Enterprise at Goshen.

The correspondent of the Industrial Reuaeao,
Philadelphia and Atlanta, gives the following
"Your correspondent has just returned from
an inspection of the operations of the Vir-
ginia Iron and Steel Company, at their new
furnace, near Goshen, thirty miles from this
place. The busy work of year has made
many changes in the broad, level meadow
lands, and upon the wooded hills which shade
them from the setting sun. The railroad has
been built eight miles from Goshen, past the
furnace TO the ore beds, within one and half
miles of the Rockbridge Alum Springs. The
capacious furnace house, with its steel-iron
stack, lined with friedrich, has been erected,
and about half mile of brick flues for hot
air gas constructed, and the workmen are now
putting up the chimney for the blast, which is
to rise to the great height of two hundred and
fifty feet. The work is not much more than
half done, and the brick makers are resuming
their work, and wil'nlake three million more
bricks to be used on the extensive improve
ments still in contemplation and, from the
extent OF the preparations, there seems TO be
no doubt but that the capacity of two hundred
tons OF iron day, now aimed at, will be real
lied. Low Moor, the largest furnace now in
operation in the Virginias, is turning out one
hundred and five tons daily, though it WAS
calculated for only eighty tons; SO this one
may even exceed two hundred.
Besides the work on the furnace and build
ings adjacent. large boarding house and two
rows, about half mile long, of good ard
very substantial cottages much superior to
those generally seen, have been erected on the
range of hills overlooking the works. These
