At Bagg's planning mill they are running
to their fullest capacity and are 100 Dusy
to stop 10 talk even. This season Is tneir
busy one and orders are very pieni
They report any amount OF new oullaihss
going up and many more under conuaca,

a raft OF 5000 feet of hemlock lumber ana

Atthe Nail City Glass works everything
is booming and the glass trade IS gooa.
This week they have been working on tnelF
new patent Jars and have been running
fuU nh. They ship their wares as fast as
possible and are loading at their side track
nearly all the time.
Harry Heller, one OF the workmen here,
had the misfortune to get his hand caught
in the cogs of one OF the presses an Ihurs-
day, and il was badly mashed and VIII ne
cessitate his loafing for few days.
Al the .Etna mill everything is running
smoothly and they have been making good
time. The mill is running full with talr
orders. The owners are rapidly putting on
the sheet iron siding and the mill is now
virtually fire proof. The Jennie CampoeLl
laid at their wharf for some time during
the latter part of the week and took aboard
q large shipment OF their iron for southern
markets.
The lively little Standard mill right
above the ftna, which stands right on the
corporation line between Martins Ferry
and Bridgeport. is doing well: Iney nave
had TWO or three small small differences
between employers and employed during
the week. but each and every one were
satisfactorily arranged on the same day
that they originated, and everything Is
running smoothly now. They have been
running full on day turn all week and the
night turn went on FRIDAY afternoon at half
past one.
There is loud complaints heard at the
IEtna and Standard mills about the scarci-
IL of houses. Many OF the men in fact
most of them have no place TO live, OF men
who work here every day some live in
Wheeling, some in Bridgeport, some in
West Wheeling and Bellaire, others in the
north end of Martins Ferry. Still others
are compelled to keep their families at
Pittsburgh and other places, and come
here and board for the reason that there are
no houses to be had for love or money.
There certainlyis good opportunity here
for some enterprising man with small
amount Of money to make paying invest.
ment by putting up any number almost OF
good substantial tenement houses IN TINS
neighborhood. Houses that would rent
from $40 to $l2 per month can be
erected. and would pay handsome rate of
per cent. on the amount invested. The
ground is well located and can probably be
leased or bought at reasonable figure.
Business is good at the Union Glass
Works end their ware find ready sale. The
works commenced running double turn on
Friday No accidents TO report. Hard
work and plenty of it.
At SpenCe's we found a very industrious
set of wOrkmen buSily engaged in construct
ing engines and form engines. The men
are all old hands and attend to their own
business and let other peoples alone. one
of the workmen. who was busy putting
thresLer together, told your reporter yes
terday that be had been working here al
the same place for years putting up thresh
ers and never knew the price OF threshlng
machine.
The Benwood blast furnace is on full
time and are turning out lots OF metal.
Their production this week was stored III
the yard and none was shipped. They use
from to 10 car loads of ore each week and
turn out a big pile of tirst.class pig. The
only accident to mar the even tenor OF
things here happened on Thursday, when
Anthony Kyne had his foot bad y mashed
by cinder truck running over it. Their
pay day was Thursday.
The Laughlin mill is running on full
time without accident or incident. Their
pay day was Thursday last, and the boys
are well heeled and will cast in their mite
10 20 and see Jumbo and Barnum.
