COLUMBIA, Aug. 20--After an enforced
idleness Of some few years the hum OF indus
try will soon he heard at what was known as
the Shawnee rolling mill, now styled the |
Columbia rolling mill. When this mill was |
first built II was kept running for several
yoars, but owing to the iron panic Of 1873 the
mill was shut down for an indefinite period.
Since that time the mill was in operation for
few months, but success did not attend
Il During the past winter there were ru-
mors that the " old mill" had been purchased
by some well-known iron men, and the re-
mort was we'll founded. Messrs. j. q. Denny,
az Harrisburg; John Keller, of Lancaster
and Michael Schall and J. w. Stearns, of
York, had become the owners of the mill,
and at once set about making extensive re-
pairs, under the supervision of Col. G. 8:
Kaufman. Visitors at the place could
hardly recognize the old mill as it is
* present. as the improvements and
repairs have been very complete 1t
Is expected that the mill will COM
mence operations about next week, and when
Il docs 1t will keep running very steadily, as
the owners can find q ready market for all
their iron. About 200 men and boys will be
y employed At the mill and fourteen pudding
; and four heating furnaces will be in opera
tIOn. This will be an important and valua-
bic addition to the business interests Of the
town.

sary work on the farm OF his father, in the
suburbs OF town, Harry Stamm met with a

on his right foot The injury is not serious,
but quite painful.
Runaway Team.
This morning a team of two horses and
wagon, belonging to farmer, residing I'm
Manor township, was left standing on Union

After going for couple of squares the horses
were stopped without any damage being
done, excepting the scattering of the boards
on the wagon in promiscuous manner.
