Plate Glass Manufacture.

About thirty miles south of st.
,an;s. on the main line Of the st.
IOu;s, Iron Mountain & Southern
galway, is Crystal City, the home Of
late glass manufacture in the far
past rsst The works of the Crystal Plate
Class Company are located some dis
t.mce from the station but a small
Srsnch railway affords ready commun.
;sstion at all times. 1t is but q few
Ssars since it was the popular i'm.
yyression that plate glass could not be
pp,oduced in this country, and that
Ikdes is but partially obliterated at the
rresent time, while the facts are that
much of the finest and largest plate
class now being used in the finest
Buildings of all our large cities is
made in this country from native ma
terial, and is in every respect equal to
that Of foreign make. In the manu-.
factrre of glass of the very best quail.
~ the Crystal Plate Glass Company is
soual to any other. The two things
which account for this fact are, first,
the superior material-in other words,
the Plattin sandwich takes its
name from the stream of that name
on the banks of which the sand rock
duarries lie; and secondly, the expert.
ance and skill of those under whose
management the work is prosecuted.
The deposit of sand is unquestionably
the most extraordinary and valuable
that has ever been discovered in the
world. Incalculable in it's extent,
this white sand is here found in lof-
N bluff into which tunnels have been
driven for distance of over fifty feet,
and from which the invaluable mater
ial is obtained in absolute perfection
ready for use. It is dazzlingly white
and is perfectly translucent. The
company owns 200 acres of this bluff,
which averages seventy feet in thick.
ness, and could not be exhausted in
hundreds of years. The exceeding
purity of the sand has excited the ad.
miration of thousands.
Other indispensable materials re-
quired in plate glass production arc
also found here in exhaustless guam
tity of the highest order of merit. Il
may be interesting to state that every
Ingredient that enters into any formu
la for the production of plate glass il
obtainable in this country save soda
ash, and that this can and will be
made in st. Louis is but a question o.
time.
The immense works of the company
were commenced it 1872 by the
American Plate Glass Company, with
capital stock of $250,OOO. In 1874
this was raised to 100000, and in
1880 to 100000. The city con
tains upward Of 100 frame houses TO,
the several hundred men, women and
children. The situation is a mos1
charming one for residence as well as
valuable for manufacturing purposes
and the buildings in all their strength
powerful machinery, the peaceful vii
lage with it's refining influences, the
raw material in it's exceeding wealth
and purity, and the manufactured ar
ticle in all the pride of honest con
Struction, combine to produce mar
velously beautiful picture upon the
eyes and minds of all who may be sc
fortunate as to visit this Economically
realistic city. The company has made
special provisions for the comfort
health, instruction and amusement o.
its operatives.-Nep York Graphic.

THE WILD WATERS.
Terrible Work of the Flood at
Cleveland.


CLEVELAND, Feb. 5.-The damage by
food iii this city cannot be estimated.
All the lower parts are flooded by from
one to eight feet of water. The Cuyaho-
ga is literally covered with floating
lumber, shingles, etc. The Valley track
is entirely covered, with here and there
but the tops of cars visible. Forbes,
BaTstOw & Co., near the central way
bridge, lose ueaT six million feet of
lumber. Families from houses on the
low lands were saydd by boats. A boy
slipped into the water just above the
viaduct yesterday, and was drowned;
name unknown. The tug boat Florence
was upset and sunk by the rush OF wa
ter. Nearly all the lumber yards on
the fats are one undistinguishable mass
of lumber, logs, shingles, and other de-
bris.
On two sides the stream was opened.
One of the streams was in the old river
bed, over the old Valley road track, and
the other in the regular CuyahOga
course. Outside and north, great blocks
of the two central way bridges lay; one
on the water and the other slightly
above it. The one above was the lower
central way bridge, swung out of place
by the water, and the other, that of the
upper central way. 1t had been washed
away, and floating down the river had
recognized fellow bridge and lOitered
to keep it company. Near by, the smoke
stack of the old Cleveland City Forge
reared itself away above the riot and
seemed to be the only secure affair in
the submerged valley. The COnnOttOn
rOundhOuse was also half under water,
and beyond, the new mill of the CleVe-
land Rolling Mill Company. This mill,
which was damaged some time ago by
an explosion, was only started up Sat
urday. The men were compelled to
quit work on Saturday night, and as the
water rushed through and beat against
the lower floors of the building yester-
day, steam from half extinguished fur
uaces, filled the air with kissing pro
tests. Across on the south side of the
Valley, Monroe Bros. lumber mill, No.
40 jefferson street, was out of place and
the office on a tripdOwn the stream with
piles of lumber as accompanies. This
mill seemed to be a complete wreck;
stock scattered and atiOat, and machin-
cry under water. But to enumerate who
suffered loss would be simply to publish
directory of all doing business on the
flats.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Feb. 3.-The Kan

three months the mill has been some

by the general depression in the iron
trade, and for two months has been run

were made by which 1t was thought
work would be able to proceed without
interruption. The works, however, be-
ing closely allied with the Union Iron

consequence of an understanding among
a number of stockholders, who also hold
mortgage against the property, the
trustees took possession of the works
this morning. The liabilities, secured

learned, are about 100000. The assets,

TABOR. OF COLORADO.
A Millionaire Who Spent $780,
900 to be Senator 80 Days.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s-The new mil
liOnaire Senator, Mr.. Tabor, of Colorado,
has arrived in the city. 1t was said he
forgot his credentials, but this proved
mistake and he was seated in the
chamber. the tariff debate being inter
rupted for the purpose. A good natured
anecdOte has been going the rounds Of
the gOssips with reference to the recent
election in Colorado. 1t is said that
Tom Bowen and Governor Tabor made
an arrangement by which Bowen was
not seriously to antagOnize the ex Gov
eTnOr, but that they were to make a
friendly partition of the hOnOrs. Tabor
wanted the long term, and had plenty Of
money which he was willing to spend.
Bowen also preferred q six years term
to one of thirty days. 1t was finally
agreed between them that Bowen should
have the short term and Tabor the long
one, upon condition that the latter
should pay the entire expense Of the
canvass for both. Under the arrange
ment Bowen handed in his bill to Tabor
until finally, when the Legislature was
ready to meet, they had footed up the
comfortable sum of 100000. This was
a mere bagatelle to Governor Tabor, and
would not have cost him a moments re-

Mr. Aldrich denied that the cotton
manufacturers had ever declared them
selves satisfied with the schedule rec
commended by the Tariff Commission.
Mr.. Beck took 1t for granted that the
Senate would vote all the manufactur-
eTs wanted, but intended to make an
appeal to the people, and he wished to
have record on which to base an ap-
peal. Therefore he would ask for the
ayes and noes on the pending amend

Mr.. Bayard considered that no man
had right to bring his private busi-
ness into the halls of legislation, and
by his vote arraign the laws of his coun-
try, and exert the taxing power of the
Government in order to make himself
rich. This remark was brought out by
the reference made by Mr.. Beck to the
appearance Of member Of the House
before the Finance Committee in con-
nectiOn with the formation of the cot
ton schedule.
Mr.. Harris's amendment, making the
duty 40 per cent on cotton, yarn, &C.,
