A Mil Closed Down.

The Spaulding Iron Company has de-
cided to make no further effort to start up
their nail factory this spring, and their
nails mill not be in the market for some
time to come. The management cay this
decided action has been forced upon them
by the refusal of their employees to accede
to any of their overtures for a settlement,
and the company gives it ont officially
that whenever the men have their strike
settled to their own satisfaction the Com
PAW will be willing to talk to them, but
will not send for them to 80 to work.

The Tourists in "a y. p. &.
The Cleveland Herald has this to say of
Mertazer's Tourists, which open a four
nights engagement at the Grand Opera
House on Saturday next: Every seat in
the Opera House was occupied last night
to witness the performance Of the Tourists
Company, and the absurdity was given
with a dash and spirit that very much
pleased. The second act speciality bust
ness was unusually good, and Messrs.
Kirke and Clarke and their splendid COM
pauy were warmly a~pplanded. The com
pany will undoubtedly do a big business
in this city, as they give a performance well
worth the money.
"Karl" Tonight.
That favorite German comedian, Chas.
A. Gardner, will appear at the Opera
House, this evening, in his New Karl"
which is full of new songs, dances, music
and mechanical effects. The advance sale
indicates a large house. The Louisville
Commercial says: "Macauley's theatre was
crowded yesterday afternoon and again
al night, the attraction being Charles A.
Gardner in a pleasing comedy drama en-
titled Karl. Gardner has always been q
~fayorite comedian, and since his last visit
to Louisville his stage business has lost
none of its attractiveness, and his voice
none of its sweetness. He is the same
jolly soul, with a funny dialect, and sings
and dances par excellence. Karl, the PED
der, Is a very pleasing play of it's charac-
ter, which is something like Emmet's
Fritz. Gardner has a good company"
Two Women Sent to Jail.
Last evening two young ONE came to
this city from Ohio on a shopping tour,
While in Gags shoe store, No. 1904 Main
street, each Of the women picked up q
fine shoe, and concealing them in their
clothing, carried them of. One of the
clerks saw the theft, and the attention Of
the police being called to the matter, the
women were arrested and taken before
Justice W, II. Dawes, who conmmited
them to Jail in default of 500 bail each,
to await the action Of the grand jury.
Later the prisoners were released on bail.
The young women are very respectfully
connected on the other side of the river,
and out Of regard for their friends and
relatives their names and places Of resi-
dence are withheld. The girls had no in.
tention of doing wrong and only meant 10
have q little lark, as the shoes they took
were mems shoes and not mates.
The Nall Trust.
A telegram from Pittsburg to the New
Yerk World says: The effect Of the great
nail combination in the East is becoming
percsptible in this district. Zug & Co.
are not making nails at present. 1t was
reported yesterday that Chess, Cook & Co.
and the Etna Icon and Steel Company at
Newcastle propose to shut down in order
to maintain prices, which are now 81 80
and two cents off. Jones & Laughlin have
shipped about forty thousand kegs this
e to their Chicago warehouse from this
CITY to find a market for their products.
Pittsburg possesses an immunity from all
outside competition. The price is 30 low
here it prevents other factories in the east
ern part of the State or at Wheeling from
shipping into this market. The estimated
stock throughout the country is nearly one
million kegs, Of which the Eastern Asso-
citation has $50, 900 and the Western $780,
600 kegs. The Western Association has in
it twenty-five factories, but two Of these
are not making nails and have not for
some time.
