MINOR MATTERS.
Rumor of General Greshams Withdrawal
from the Cabinet.

Runnor of General Greshams Withdrawal
from the Cabinet.
Special to Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
Some sharp politicians see in the proposed
withdrawal of General Gresham from the
cabinet, mentioned several days ago in the
Commercial Gazette, an attempt to relieve
General Arthur's candidacy from embarrass-
ment Judge Gresham has made rapid adj
vancement as possible presidential candi-
date, and is frequently mentioned as the
only man who can carry Indiana. If he re-
tires to the bench, as he proposes to do, he
will drop quietly out of the canvass.
He might serve Arthur by retiring from
the cabinet, but it is equally apparent, from
his conversation on the subject that he
would also be pleasing himself. General
Gresham has never found that satisfaction in
Washington life and politics that he ex-
pected. The worry and care and constant
shouts of the office-seekers which attend his
official life here are very unpleasant to him.
II can never get used to it, he says, and
really don't wish to. l was very foolish to
leave the bench"

In the company there were originallya num-

were in the main, disposed of three years ago
to Mr.. Scott. The machinery cost 1925 900
and the stock on hand was valued at $50, 000
When the alarm was sounded the city fire
department failed to respond, owing to the
works being located just outside of the cor
