The Manufacturers Record Of July
70. says:
The past week vas a noted one
the acti 'ity in the organization of gi-
gantic industrial enterprises, the mag
nitudo OF which overshadows the
many smaller concerns that would
otherwise command much attention.
In Alabama, Tredegar leads with
contract for the building there OF
great furnace and steel plant to in
clude rolling mill, steel mill, &C., and
to employ, when fully completed
about 5000 hands; Birmingham has
a new 81 100000 coal and iron making
companyi Huntsville a $4,000 oil
company. Georgia shows for the
week $4,000 ore mining company,
a 100000 land and lumber company,
a $4,000 clothing manufacturing COM
pany, 100000 gold mining com
pany, and 100000 phosphate mining
company, to operate in Florida. AT
Ocala, Fla, an 100000 company has
been organized to mine and manuiac-
ture fertilizers. Kentucky has for The
week S2O00,000 iron and coal com
pOny and $500,0O0land improvement
company. In Southwest Virginia
the great activity previously reported
continues, At Richards Pennsylva.
MIA capitalists will build 100000 iron
pipe work and at Radiord iron men
from the same State will erect two fur.
naces, a rolling mill, bar, bolt and rail
mill, &c, while at Iyenhoe n $500, 00C
company will build extensive zinc
works. While these great concern;
are being put into shape the organiza
ton OF smaller enterprises, such as
woodworking mills, brick.yards, ice
factories, foundries and machine shops
goes steadily on. In every direction
there is solid growth and increasing
prosperity, based on the utilization o.
the unequaled natural resources Of
this favored section. The second hal
of 1890 bids fair to show a degree o.
activity that would,have been deemed
almost impossible even twelve OF
eighteen months ago.

WASHINGTON, July ia few days
ago Speaker Reed directed Doorkeeper
Cloakley to eject young Jim Blaine
from the floor Of the House on a COM
plant lodged by Representative Houk,
OF Tennessee. Young Blaine has been
making himself very fresh on the
floor, presuming on his name and po-
sition as secretary Of the Foreign Al
fairs committee. He is despised by
everybody on account OF his treatment
OF his wife and child. Jas. G. Blaine,
Sr., is reported as furious at the insult
offered his son, and the breach be-
tween himself and Speaker Reed is
now considered permanent. Each
man declares his contempt for the
other.
