IMPROVEMENTS AT BRISTOL
The Great Mill Building for LcedOm q
90. Many Dwellings Going Up.

A new mill is being erected at Bristol, !
Bucks county, for Thomas l.. Leedom y
CO., carpet manufacturers, of this city.
The mill is being built by the Bristol Im-
provement Company. The structure is
on the west side of the railway, above the
depot, its main front running PARALLEL
with the tracks. The principal block is
500 feet long by 81 feet broad and will be
three stories high when completed. This
will contain the weaving department,
salesrooms and offices and will be fitted
with improved machinery and every re-
quisite for the manufacturing of carpets.
A one-story wing, 100 feet long by so feet
broad, will be used as dye house. The
material is Bucks county granite from
Lambertvile and will be hammer-dressed.
Joshua PIERCE, president of the Bristol
Improvement Company, said few days
ago: This venture is the outcome OF the
recent strike at Leedom's Philadelphia
mills and the attack of the strikers upon
these hands who wished to continue at
work. We lease the premises 10 the firm
at rental of ten per cent. of the cost
We expect they will be ready for oceu-
pancy by the end of the year. The mill
will accommodate five hundred hands.
II think Leedom q Company will have
no cause 10 regret removing their factory
from Philadelphia TO this town, which,
being located on the Pennsylvania Rail
road and on the banks Of The Delaware,
has excellent facilities for reaching all
parts Of the country.
"Our improvement company was origl-
mated for the purpose Of enabling large
manufacturers to obtain premises at nom
inal rentals. Several Philadelphia firms
have already avaied themselves of our
services Thomas Harkins u Company,
foundrymen; Wilson Il fenimore, wall
/ paper manufacturers Grnndy Brothers
d Campion, worsted yarn manufactures,
and others
"The effect of Leedom's transfer here
will be the addition of at least two
hundred families to our population. An
impetus will be given to building III new
section of the town. The firm intend to
bring out here the hands who objected to
Joining the strikers. Bristol undoubtedly
will be benefit by the change"
A tract of laud west of the canal and
adjacent to the mills has been laid out in
lots, and about thirty frame dwellings,
each containing sew u rooms, are being
erected on it. Three months ago ii was
used as farm land Tue houses will be
neatly built, with porticos an / side walks,
and each will have a garden plot 20 feet
by 100 Rent will average from 81 10 %
per month.
In addition to these about twenty more
are in course of construction III other
parts of the Town. Bristol builders are
elated over the prospects OF the local
building trade.
The above from the Philadelphia
TIMES, may do for Bristol, but Of
course Beverly does not want them as
it would neeessitate Water Works
the-expense of an additional policeman
or two on account Of increased popula,
ton, and who might also be patrons Of
that sink of iniquity that so shocked
the morals of your correspondent few
weeks ago, the Skating Rink"

trains will leave Canal street every 10
or Is minutes and reach the Exposition
in about 20 minutes. With this tacil-
ity, the attendance promises to be much
larger than it was last year.
1t was understood that last winter
on several occasions wealthy excursion
lists coming to New Orleans in their
special cars failed to make a single
visit to the Exposition upon finding
there was no steam transportation or
carriage drive. 1t is not likely that
the coming winter will prove SO disas-
trously inclement as it did last year /;
so there seems to be no reason why the
Exposition should not prove financi-
al success. Opening their doors unen-
numbered by Indebtedness the lnstitu-
ton ought to be able to support itself
from the start.

In Spain, owing to the ravages OF
the cholera. laborers cannot be obtain
ed to gather the crops. Fields remain
unharvested, and the grapes are iottlng
in the vineyards. There have been,
according to the statistics reported,
250,0O0 cases and upward of 10000
deaths in Spain; and it is believed
that these statistics fall far short Of
the ravages of the scourge. Figures
so appalling should call out the sanitary
efforts Of every nation, as it has long
since been demonstrated that by such
means alone can the disease when once
started on its rounds can be arrested
or stayed in its course.

PosT OFFICES in smaller cities
throughout the country have been
without postal cards for several weeks.
This has been due to the fact that the
contractor was behind with his supply.
Postmaster Vansciver sent for a supply
for the Beverly Office over a month
ago, but being unable to secure any
from this source, he was compelled to
do without them.

him transportation back to New York He said
to-day that they reached the Black Hills all right,
helped to build Deadwood and engaged in min
ing ON the cooperative plan. During the first
three months their net earnings amounted to
sos in gold. Soon after July 49, 1875, the
little camp was raided by Sitting Bull and his
braves. who captured all hands and confscated
everything In Sitting Bulls camp Beck be-
came separated from his family, and has been
unable to find out what became of them. He
says that the Indians adopted him, painted him
up, and made him marry squaw. The German
Indian was made a chief and christened ION ga

Beck says the Indian agents are frauds, and
that the redskins have been imposed upon. He
added II don't blame the Indians for burning
ranches after having been swindled by villains

Mr.. Beck got away from the Indians two

A Boy Killed by - Train.


WEST MANCHESTER, O., Nov. 16-A thirteen
or fourteen year old boy was killed on freight

a railroad car which was loaded with traction
engine. The train had orders to wait for special,
but, misunderstanding the order, attempted to
make the next station. They met half mile
east of here, and very slight collision was the
result In the collision the boy was thrown
under the traction engine and received an
injury which resulted in his death in a few
minutes The boy was brought back to West
Manchester and Coroner Higgins notified of the
death. and an examination held this afternoon
shows that the boys name is Ezra G. Garrett of
Chatham Iii. He was a schoo-boy who had
probably been seized by an impulse to start out
in the world for himself. On his body was
found blank book filed with spelling exercises.

was the advertisement of "Thayer. lie Drug

making inquiries concerning the boy, but no
word has been received as yet. Several of the
best citizens here took charge of the remains
after the inquest, and if no orders from his
friends received the remains will be inferred
by the people here.
