SIX HUNDRED MEN
Thrown Out Of Employment by the
Benw00d Mill.
It Finds It Cannot Compete With the West,
at Present Prices, and Decides
to Shut Down.

As has been predicted in the labor col
umn of the SUNDAY REGISTER for several
months past, the outlook in the nail busi-
ness is extremely bad, worse that the ma
jority of people have any idea Of These
predictions were laughed at by mill owners,
but by perusual of this article the fore
shadowing is being verified. Yesterday
the directors of the Benwood nail mill held
a meeting and after a thorough investiga-
ton Of the prospects of the nail
market, decided by almost an
unanimous vote, to close their works
down for an indefinite period, in fact, until
the market price of nails advance to such
figure as will justify the running Of their
industry without loss.
1t was shown in this meeting that the
nail mill at Bellyille, ILL.,, was delivering
nails in St. Louis for $205 per keg. Nov
this is Just 7 cents less than the Benwood
mill can make them for, not counting the
cost of transportation. 1t Was generally
conceded at this meeting that the prospects
lor AN early advance in the market price OF
nails was extremely poor. The closing
down of this mill throws over 600 men out
IF employment, whose families will be in
Enlightened circumstances if this mill
does not rest me work soon.

A NEW DAM
To Take the Place Of the Morn-0ut
Nuisance
Now ia Back Riser---Ths Greek Bar to be
Removed --0ther important I'm
proyements Along
the River.

"a very important Improvement will be
made on the river at this point, this fall,
viz: the rebuilding of the dam across the
back river. This dam is about 500 feet
long and at the same time was about five
feet high. Now it could not be called a
foot high, simply because the dam is only
partially there, large gaps having been
made in it by the heavy floods. A portion
of the appropriations made by the govern
ment will be expended on this dam.
According to the specifications, the
new dam is to be eight
feet high If such dam is
is built and we sincerely hope it will, it
will give US at the least calculation nine
inches more water in the channel than We
now have at low water stage. This, to the
average citizen, may seem very small, but
to the practicable river man it is considered
a great thing, simply from the fact that 1t
allows all the local packets to run during an
extreme low stage Of water. For instance,
supposing we had the additional nine inches
now, every one of our local packets would
ne running steadily, whereas as it now
stands, none of them are able to run, and
consequently our citizens are deprived OF
the great quantity Of garden staff we would
therwise get.
The following is a list of the improve
ments to be made on the Ohio river lmme-
diately

Since the first Of the week there have
been few developments in the Umstot case,
IN account ofwhich was exclusively printed
in the REGISTER. Most of the merchants
on whose books his name appears without
ne proper credits; seem willing to believe
he is personally all right and would return,
but for the fact that there is woman in the
ase. 1t was ascertained, the ether day,
hat Umstot had deposit of 1900 in the

Another improvement is in contempla-
ton and will be made in the near future,
probably this fall, that is the cutting away
# the bar at the mouth of the creek. The
bar has been an eye-sore to every river man
Tor years on account of the channel chang
'ng, making navigation very difficult.
I he improvement simply consists of
This: The gravel and other obstruc-
ons at this bar will be removed,
making the channel over the bar conform
with the channel above and below it, there
by making navigation practicable and easy.
Captain John Kerr has received the APP
ointment Tor this end of the river, control
ling all dredge boats, and has received or
ders to secure light draught dredge boat
TO DO the long needed work. Heretofore
the Government has expended time and
money using the heavy draught dredge
boats on this portion OF the river, which
boats were almost utterly useleless,
as they could not navigate when
he river was at its low, Stages. This is
he very time dredge boat is needed, as
.hen the water is high, the most important
uIaces to work at cannot be well reached
and when they can the dredge boat impedes
he progress of every vessel on the water.
lwell known river captain also informed
The reporter that the stones on McMahons,
Isoggs and Wheeling rifles greatly impeded
he navigation. Such obstruction should
nlso be removed.
