will be located. Ii will contain on the first
floor Two waiting ROOMS, q ticket Office, a
baggage room aEd on apartment Tor

The business Offices will be located in
the south end Of the building, and on the
whole the plans seem 10 indicate o very
comfortable, convenient and respectable
looking structure. Mr.. Linton, the chief civil
engineer of the company has been in town
during the past four days, taking bids from
our local builders for the construction and

gas furnace at the Buckeye Glass Works.

mace which occurred the other DAY. When
the little explosion occurred q piece Of wall
was loosened end il is located in such a
place as to make it necessary to cool the
furnace before the break can be- repaired.
The explosion was caused by q misupder
staining OF an order issued by Nr. Smith

tor the material produced By it. The
stop would have been necessary any way
in u short time. as Mr.. Smith an Secretary
Miller both feel confident that the point
where combustion OF the gas takes place ia
too high up 10 the furnace 10 gain the best
results from its use. The change will
cause a slight delay, but glass will be made
and worked one week from tomorrow.
