MARTINS FERRY.
Our manufacturers seem to be enjoying
quite prosperous season just now, and
from reports current, this season seems
destined to continue for some time. The
Lsughlin mill has been doing better in the
matter OF making nails at least, durirg the
past two months, than ut any time in the
past tive or three years. This has resulted
in the employees in getting upon their feet
again, and cur retail merchants are begin
ming to feel the good effects. The Laugh
lin is, however, closed till Tuesday next,
on account of a broken cog on the plate
mill rolls. The Buckeye Glass Company
has its two largest furnaces in operation,
and only allowed the "lank'' to 90 out
within the past few weeks, OF after the
second ten-pot furnace was puttn. These
people are turning out ar immense guam
tity and an elegant quality of ware, nearly
all of new desings and colcr. Mr.. Miller is
changing the factory's product almost en-.
tirely from the old.time crystal and solid
color staples to modern novelties,
which not only serve all purposes Of
usefulness but catch the eye Of the buyer
At the Northwood everything is running
in the most satisfactory manner not day
has been lost since the factory made its
first turn early. IN January. The North
wood is engaged on fancy goods almost ex-
clusively, and the fine class Of ware turn
ed out and Mr.. Northwoods g enyiable rep
utation as a glass worker, sells their goods
In all markets. The inception OF this
enterprise has added quite number Of
good families to the city'spopula,iun. At
the Elson, both sides claim that there is
no prospects whatever of the peadiDg
strike being settled at any time in the
near future. Both managers and men as
5ert that nothing can he done.
Messrs. Miller and Furboy, managers
and proprietors Of the Lafayette Hall, de-
serve the unstinted praise Of the public, or
at least that part of the public which en-
joys good theatrical performance. These
gentlemen are making every effort to Sc
cure good entertainments for amusement
lovers, and are succeeding very we'll. On
Friday night Alden Benedict gave splen-
did presentation Of Monte Cristo to fair
audience. Messrs Miller and Turboy, TO
secure this company, had to guarantee
quite nice little profit to the manage
ment. This week Matte Vickers holds
the boards on Monday night and the New
Orleans Minstrels on Wednesday. As fast
as it can he done the hall is being remod
eled, and the unsightly rafters and timSers
are being taken out and the ceiling and
walls are to be covered and frescoed,
Mr.. J. Paul, of the Hanover Hotel, will
remove to Bellaire March 1st, where he
will take charge of the st. Nicholas Hotel.
Mr.. Paul has been at the Hanover during
the past four years, during which time he
has given entire satisfaction and made for
himself and family quite host Of friends,
who will all regret his departure. We
bespeak success for him in his new field,
his well known ability as public house
proprietor insuringit. Mr.. haywood, who
succeeds him in the management OF the
Hanover, comes from Mt. Pleasant, and
has had experience in the busines'.
The regular spring invoice of mud has
arrived. This commodity is always drug
on Martins Ferry's market, and will not
be entirely disposed of until the beaming
rays of the July sun once more penetra tes
the surface Of the streets; and even then
relief does rot come, for the filthy mass IL
transformed into powder which flies
through the air and causes almost az much
inconvenience and annoyance az the mud
now does. Just think, If we had a few
paved streets how all this nuisance would
be obyiatcd.
The City Council has accepted the plat
of Huey's addition, and IL has been sent 10
st. Clairsville 10 be recorded. How much
longer will IL be till Fifth street is opened,
and thorougbfare through the town e.
tablished. And while speaking about
streets it Just occurs that the Council
Committee appointed about year ago TO
make arrangements for the opening OF
street to the Standard addition, has been,
and is still reporting "progreso." How
long! On, how lopgr
Our fire apparatus has arrived and II
now only remains for the City Council TO
recognize the fire company already organ
lied, to make the service effective.
The last trace Of the work Of the cyclone
of April IS, 1897. has been removed. All
but one house which was wrecked were re-
paired at once, and that one was tene-
ment belonging 10 V. Bowman in Paull's
addition. Mr.. Thomas Pugh purchased
the house few weeks ago, and has had IL
remodeled and moved into II.
Much Of Martins Ferry's prosperity
hinges on the Union bridge. Almost every
day one can hear such remarks ~ these:
"If the bridge is built, / think I'll take
two or three lots in the back part Of town
on speculation. ''Ifthe bridge is built ]
expect to extend the capacity Of my store"
when the bridge comes will build three
new tenement houses, etc etc. etc.
On next Saturday the Industry BrildiDg
Association will have q large amount Of
money to sell, which will probably be sold
at a very liberal rate. An extra good
chance for bargains.
Mr.. Joseph Winslow, who was some time
since mentioned in these columns in con-
nection with gas pressure indicator and
alarm, is still q. work On bis invention,
and has also connected q coptriyance 10 il
whereby either high or Low presure in the
pipes will sound the alarm. He is also at
work on 8 new air mixer TO be used with
natural gas fires.
