The North Chicago rolling mills shu,
down last Saturday week for the winter
and 1900 men were thrown out of employ
ment.
The Springfield Qll) rolling mills will
keep open few weeks longer to complete
some orders, and then shut down for the
winter, and 500 more men will be out OF
employment.
The Joliet Steel and Iron Company
closed portion of their works week age
and 700 men were discharged.

Of pig iron and labor can be effected
A recent convention of the managers OF
the New England rubber factories was
held in New York, and an agreement come
TO to close their factories tor the winter in
January. 1t is estimated, If the pro
grammc Is carried out, that 10000 people
IN New York, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island
and New Jersey will be thrown out of EN-
plOvment.
Nearly all these stoppages are with the
reservation, in some cases, as IN that OF the
st. Louis mile, boldly expressed, and IN
the Others implied, "if' IN the meantime
the employees will not consent to 25 per
cent reduction of wages. The North Chi.
cago, the Joliet and the other rolling mills
and the rubber factories can 20 on with
such reduction.
AT present the price Of steel rails is but
$42; to be made AT a profit in Chicago,
Joliet, &c, they must bring $45. If they
can be made at profit at $45 ton at pres.
ent prices of pig iron and labor, bearing
in mind that the Chicago, Joliet and the
other companies made no rails in the last
three years for less than $54 to $57 per
ton, what must have been their profits for
the last year? The profits Of the North
Chicago Rolling Mill Co. thus appear to
have been Tl2 per ton on 10000 tons, or
$1,S00,000. The Joliet Co.'s output was
1Oo,OOO ions; margin OF $11 on this 10
S1,1SS,0OO. The estimated product of the
Union Iron and Steel Co. is G0,000 tons !;
with the same margin the profit would be
$66O,OOO. Total profits of the three CON-
panies on rails in 1882, $4,4S0,0O0. How
much OF this did they divide with the
wOrkmen?

CRIMINAL VARIETIES.
Culled Here and There from the big Dsi
lies.

Last hangman's day Dcc. 81 was exccp-
tlOnally numerous in its observance
throughout the United States, no less than
five murderers having taken their exit to
the world beyond at the end of the rope.
William Porter, negro, was hung at
Perry, Ga, for the murder of William
Swift, negro boy, in October last. The
latter had been IN town and received a
couple of months wages, which, with ex-
ception OF some $40, he invested III suit
of clothes and then started home in COM
pany with Porter. On the way Porter
murdered him and stripped him Of his
clothes and money, for which, on his own
confession, he was justly hanged.
AT Swalnsboro, Ga. Edward COnyers, a
negro, was hanged for brutally numbering
another negro last fall.
Albert Sanders, another negro, was
hanged at Charleston, Mo-, for the murder
Moses Wing, also negro, on Nov. 19lh.
The two were in the employ of Mr.. Stephen
Bird, at Birds Point, opposite Cairo, at the
time, and had fallen in love with the same
weEch. On the night OF Nov. 10Th San
ders went to Wings cabin and calling him
TO the door stabbed him several times caus.
ing his death
At Donaldsonvillc, La, Charles Gustsve,
alias Charles Paul, was hanged for the
murder Of Eve Thompson, his wife, but
who had left HIM and refused to return
and live with him. The parties were of
the better class of mulattoes.
And lastly in San Rafael, Cal, Hong All
Duck, a Chinaman, was hanged for the
murder of tellowconvict of the same
nationality IN the San Quentin penitentia.
ry. Hong met his fate with the utmost
composure, his only anxiety apparently
being, after his sentence of death had been
pronounced, to have the execution over
with AS soon as possible.

was ordered out of the house. He refused

knocked the woman down. Hull then
struck him with a poker, knocking him
out of the door, which was closed on him.
The drunken man then reeled round to the

MAPLE GROVE.

Mr.. Michael Nolan of Deadwood, Da-
kota Territory, brother of J. P. Nolan
of this place, is at present visiting his
friends here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Mo- and of Ma
son City, Iowa, were the guests of Matt
Kavenagh last week.
J. f. Simms and G. F. Whelan, two
of the most successful pedagogues of the
county, spent a portion of their vacation
with friends in this burg.
J. p. Watt, a prominent teacher in
Brown county, spent the holidays with
his parents in Maple Grove.
J. E. Nolan and Edward Lenane leave
this week for Manitowoc where they are
entitled to seats as jurymen during the
session of the circuit court. Two better
qualified jurors could not be chosen.
Mr.. James Kirwan has again taken
charge of his school in Maple Grove,
after vacation of two weeks.
A highly enjoyable entertainment was
held last Thursday evening in the school
house in Dist. No. 1. The exercises
consisted of select reading, dialogues,
songs, etc., and spelling by all those who
desired to participate. 1t was closed by
some very effective remarks by J. p.
Nolan and J. E. Sullivan, tending to in
dictate the necessity of the people of the
district to construct O new and much
larger school house; and highly appre-
ciating meetings and entertainments of
this kind. The honor of spelling down"
was won by Katie Finnegan.
An effort is being made during the past
winter and at present to erect cheese
factory on or near Mr.. Lynch's farm in
this town, but thus far it has been I'M
successful. 1t is evident that more
suitable place for such an establishment
can not be found in the county and if
properly cared for would no doubt prove
an entire success.
