SIDEWALKS.

The Mankato Pipe Co. are now taking
orders for cement stone sidewalks for
delivery next spring. The blocks OF
which the walk is composed are hex.
'agonal in shape, and can be made of any
color desired. They are as durable as
stone and much cheaper, and are large
ly in use in st. Paul and Minneapolis.
The cost of this walk will be $l.75 per
square ward laid, and all blocks which
become worn or cracked by reason OF
defective workmanship will be replaced
without cost to the purchaser for the
first three years.
In order that the blocks may be suffi.
ciently hardened and exposed before
laying, they should be at least four
months old, therefore, parties desiring
the best sidewalk in the world should
send in their orders now.

ANOTHER FOR MANKATo.

We have been aware for some time
that few of our business men were in
terested in new enterprise which
promises TO add another valuable manu-
featuring institution to the schedule,
and company has been formed known
as the Mankato Flanger Company, with
the exclusive right to manufacture the
Quinn rail hanger and frog and switch
cleaner invented by &. G. Quinn recent
ly OF the Northern Pacific oar works ut
Fargo. This is device for clearing
rails of snow and ice, and cleaning frogs
and switches of the same. The machine
is attached to the front Ofthe locomotive
and clears the rails as it goes. Mr..
Quinn is a man of forty years experience
in manufacturing railway equipments
and has spent several years in bringing
the fianger to proper state of perfcc-
ton, and has had it thoroughly tested
and proved to be efficacious by the
Northern Pacific company. lie has
friends i'm this city to whom he submitt-
tt tllc tstuSt VI llls liNCItioH ttlc
result is the formation of this company
with a capital stock of SlS,000. Mankato
will be the place of business, and until
suitable structures can be erected, the
old novelty works building will be util-
lied. They are manufacturing ma
chimes at Chicago at present in order to
catch the winter trade, but they will
open business here in the near future.
The directors of the company are G. G..
Quinn, }. l.. Washburn,J j. NJ. Karmany,
J. 4. Willard and b. Tnttle. The off,
GERS elected are, President,J. A. Willard I;
Vice-President, J. NJ. Karmany; Super
intendent, G. c. Quinn; Secretary, j.
l.. Washburn; Treasurer, Geo. \. Clark.
II will be seen that the parties al the
helm are not the sort To let an enter
prise slumber, hence, we may conclude
that this institution will soon he liv-

was an occasion full of interest With but
few exceptions the Swiss men in this city are all
mechanics, and are regarded as the most skillful
workmen. Many of them are wood-carvers,
and their labor is at all times in demand.
The celebration last night was in the nature of

Not in Favor of Strikes.

James L. Monaghan, grand master of the
Switchmens Mutual Aid Association of North
America, headquarters Chicago, under date of
Nov. 16, writes the Journal as follows
My attention has been called to several tices pub
ilshed IN your paper relative to the swtchmen of In
danapolis. The inference draw from the said arti-
Giles is that the switchmen organized under the
head OF the Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association of
North America for the sole purpose of harassng the
various IA roads where they are employed. One ar
ticle stated that two Chicago switchmen and a com
mttee OF the local lodge visited the various yards and
suggested to the switchmen that movement that
contemplated for the establishment of Chicago rate of
pay DC made general among the switchmen. Now L
wish to state that the Switchmens Mutual Aid Asso
citation is not organized for any such purpose men,
toned IN your paper several occasions.
In the first place, no member of our organization is
allowed to engage in strike or to encourage any
brother member to take part in such. unless he or
they are ordered to do by the grand master of this
organization. And furtl err, Authorized commit
tee of Chicago switchmen sent to Indianapolis
to agitate or influence the Indianapolis swtchmen to
strike or in any way become aggressive to their re-
spective companies And further. if the switchmen
OF Indianapolis uneasy have asked for Chicago
rate of pay have been aggressive in any way it is
foreign to me- for if such facts, would be about
the first to know the true state of affairs hope
that you will do justice the swtchmen of Indianap
oils and correct the impression that has been made in
the minds of the people of Indianapolis. and trust
you will give your kind attention to this matter.
1t is really gratifying to receive the assurance
from the grand master of the Switchmens As
ISOLATION that it is opposed to strikes. The fact
that two or three men. representing themselves
rs hailing from Chicago, had much to do with
the formation of the Indianapolis division. or it
is so stated. and the fact that shortly after the
Indianapolis division organized a REQUEST
was made for the same pay that Chicago switch
men received, and. further, that some of the
members of this division talked strike. led to the
belief that strikes were approved by the general
body of the association--raroad men, officials,
as well as the railroad reporter of the Journal,
sharing in such belief

Jay Gould has bought 900 tons of steel rails;
one Southern road has ordered %, 900 tons, and
another in Georgia, 5000. The Pennsylvania
railroad has given orders for about DO, 1000 tops;
the Manitoba purchased outright $4,000 tons,
and the Northwestern 10000 tons. The Union
Pacific contracted for 13, 900 tons, and two West
ern roads for 10000 tons, with Western mills.
The New England roads have taken over 10, 900
tons. and the Mexican Central Is. 900 tons.
AT present prices English rails can be deliv-
cred at New Orleans in competition with our
own, and about 30 600 tons of the above men
toned lots are of English manufacture. This
shows why prices are not likely to DE further
advanced in open market at present. ANY con
siderable enhancement of present figures would
encourage the importation of English iron and
steel, and this might involve the danger of a re-
action, such as occurred in 1881, when prices
were forced up until the market was overloaded
with foreign iron.
