A recent issue of the Richmond, Ind,
Register contains a brief but interesting
biography Of NJ C. Henley. the inventor and
manufacturer Of the celebrated Henley roller
skate, who is a resident Of that city. Ac-
cording to the Register, Mr.. Henley is a
young man about twenty-nine years OF age,
having been born in Wayne county, Ind,
June 6, 1856. He removed to Richmond
with his parents when eighteen years Of age
and has resided there ever since. He secured
( his first patent on roller skates about four
/ years ago, and after testing the patent to his
| satisfaction he manufactured few pair and
commenced business 10y opening a small
| rink in Aurora, Ind. Finding the skates
/ were success, be returned home, selling
few dozen pair in the meantime,
and resumed work with his father
Pretty soon orders commenced to roll in on
him, and finding that he could not make
them fast enough by hand, he put in a IL
! horse power engine and n small amount OF
machinery, being thus Ell bed to get out
from % 10 30 pairs Of s. IS per day. Find
ing that his trade still increased he doubled
his force, putting il a 4-horse power engine
and employing about ten men. This enabled
him to turn out from 80 to 10 pairs Of skates
per day. But the furore had only just begun
and in short time the increasing demands
Of trade compelled him to construct q two
story building, which was equipped with
7-horse power gas engine. and al this time
be increased his men to thirty. Still the
orders rolled in and in six months more he
doubled the size Of mis- building, putting in
an additional 10-horse power engine
while fifty men were employed
with capacity of making
300 To 400 pairs of skates a day. His new
facilities soon fell below the rapidly iucreas-
ing demand. and few months ago he pur-
chased lot and erected four story brick
building 80 by 100 feet, equipping it with
large amount of the latest machinery. in
GLIDING Il seventy-ive horse power engine
At present his factory is turning out 1000 |
pairs OF skates q day, and he employs 10 |
men. Despite this his orders are in excess |
Of his facilities and his business increases |
daily. As an Illustration of the extent TO |
which his business has attained, it is noted |
that one day. couple Of weeks ago, he re- |
ccived single cash order from one firm for |
$500 pairs of skates, TO be delivered within |
four days; the order was filed, consisting Of |
just car load, aud weighing twelve tons. |
Hr. Henley'5 inventive genius has enabled |
him TO secure number Of patents on his |
roller skates, and he now ranks Us the lead !
ing roller skate manufacturer in the world. |

SATURDAY AFTERNOON FIRE.

600, Fully Insured.

About 1880 O'Clock yesterday afternoon a
dense volume Of smoke was seen to issue
from the roof of the three story building No.
80 East Third street, and In less time than il
takes to record It the upper floors of the
building were discovered to be on fire. A
siill alarm was turned in aud BY the time the
department reached the fire 1t had obtained
formidable Roadway. The fire burned stub
bornly for over half hour and at one time
It bid fair to prove very serious A scene of
great confusion followed the appearance Of
the apparatus and the street in front OF the
premises was blockaded with pedestrians and
vehicles. The fire IS supposed to have started
in the engine room operated By Mcdonald &
Gray Bros, silver platers, whose quarters
were located in the rear part of the upper
story.
The exact manner in which I. caught is
mystery. The department worked vigorously
for over an hour and luckily prevented the
flames from communicating to the adjoining
property.

TENNESSEE.
To the Chronicle

To the Chronicle;
That Tennessee Is rapidly advan-
cling to the foremost ranks OF the
excelsior States of the Union can
now hardly be disputed. The time
10 not far hence when Ii will stand
unequsled among the other states.
And why not? It's mineral and az.
ricultural products are not surpass-
ed by any other State, except, per-
hsps, those States which are alrea-
dy noted for some certain produc-
tion. That Tennessee has rich
farming lands, extensive timber
lands CT the very choicest kinds OF
timber, large quantities of coal, an
inexhsustible supply OF iron ores,
and the best facilities for the trans
portation Of such, is an undeniable
fact. The best evidence OF the
sterling qualities Of the State is,
that every soldier who has been
there speaks In glowing terms OF
the pure air and water, the variety
Of elevation, level valleys, the beau.
tifui In bie-land and the healthiness
Of the State, in which Lookout
Mountain proudly rears its adaman-
tine walls. Gen. w. Il. Sherman,
when there about year ago, said
"I have crossed this continent many
times by almost every possible
route, and feel certain that, at this
time, no single State holds out
stronger inducements for industri-
Gus people than that Of Tennessee.
This whole region, though called
Southern, Is In fact Northern with
out its severity of climate. 1t is a
wheat growing state, and its eli
mate is in no sense tropical or
Southern. In point of health no
country on the Globe surpasses It,"
Another very strong argument in
favor of this vast State of resources
is, that before the war the present
city OF Chattanooga contained 5000
inhabitants. Within a year after
the war soldiers from every State
hocked back to this State and this
city in such numbers that Chatta-
nOoga's population alone was swell
ed to and now boasts OF $4,000 in
habitants. At the present time,
thousands OF industrious Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio aud Indiana farmers
are making their way to the new
garden Of the South and it is patent
TO every man, be he farmer or what,
that now ls the time to purchase
lands while they can be bought At q
nominal figure. There is no better
place ON earth TO make a home.

The Philadelphia Times paysthe
following compliment to the South:
1.-THE swarm OF Ofidce-seekers
from the South with which the
country has been threatened for
many years whenever a change OF
party has been discussed, does not
appear 10 be forthcoming. Inquiry
at the hotels In Washington devel-
ops the fact that a smaller number
OF Southern people will come to
the Inauguration on the 4th OF
March than to have witnessed any
similar ceremony since the war.
Thus far the one city OF Fhiladei-
phfa has furnished more applicants
for hotel accommodation than all
the Southern States together. 1t Is
not probable that any serious diff
Guilty will be experienced in finding
a sufficient number of men willing
and anxious TO fill all the Offices in
| the South. But 1t is plain that the
| rush for place will not be anything
like that predicted or even SO large
as ii win be at the North. For
eight years the Southern States have
been securely in the grip OF one
| party, and yet there has never been
q struggle for official distinction in
that section which has characterize
ed the North. The Southern peo-
| pie have been busy and have had
too much at stake TO trust their adj
vancement in life 70 the chances Of
q public position. They have an
interest IN securing good govern
ment, but il will require many
years OF experience before they car
hope to compete with the politicians
OF the North in finding where the

!. It is safe TO predict that more re
i quests have been preferred from
Philadelphia for the blue-boOk, al
well as for hotel accommodations
than for the entire South.

A Little Church Episode.


There was communion service at
one of the city churches Sunday
morning, and for some little time
before the solemn right was per-
formed, one of the leading gentle
men of the congregation had been
quite drowsy. The room was warm,
and when the call was made for the
communicates to go up to the front
seats he rose suddedly, took off his
coat, to the great surprise OF those
around, and started up the aisle in
his shirt sleeves. He was, OF course,
at once reminded of the situation,
returned hastily to his pew and put
on his coat. The explanation is
that he was somewhat confused on
being aroused to go forward and
thought he had on his overcoat,
which the heat of the room made
him anxious to remove.

Causes Of Depression.
10000

One of the alleged causes of the
trade depression and low prices OF
labor Is the comparative cessation
OF railroad building. There were
9,789 miles of railroad built In 1881
and II ,596 In 1882, but only 6, 753 in
1888, and In 1884 the number Of
miles built was hardly over $3.50.
The inactivity IN this line OF enter
prise is not due, however, to want
OF capital, which is abundant and
cheap, but to the timidity OF cap
italists, which, in its turn, is due in
part to the panics and great bank
failures that have from time to
time shaken Wall street, upsetting
confidence and fOrbidding the in
ception of new undertakings.
Doubtless another cause is the effort
Of an inevitable class of politicians
to drag the transportation question
into partisan politics and petty fac
tion scrambles for place. Where
the chartered institutions of n
State are surrendered by its people
to the mereies of a school of Doliti-
clans who would make the sacrifice
of any business interest or enter.
prise subservient to their personal
ambition, the people who possess
capital will be naturally slow to
subject il to such a grave risk. Ev-
erything which tends to repel cap
ital hurts the laborer.
