the architect, that the new packing
house owned by Oscar Cassidy, VIII be
completed and in operation by Dec.

today.
The dimensions Of the building are
about I07x140 feet, including extern

40x62 feet. while the cooling room is
42x62 feet. The engine room is 24x26
feet, and will contain an engine Of 20
horse power, and go horse power
boiler, with two 700 gallon tanks.
There will be two cattle yards, but
hogs nor cattle will not be kept in
them over one day. The ice house or
cooling room will hold in the neigh
borhood Of LOO tons Of ice. The
capacity Of the building will permit
the killing Of about 200 hogs day,
besides the sheep and beeves. Those
who have seen the building will COIN
eide with us, when we say that the
structure is a good and substantial
one, the laying Of the brick work and
Mankato stone trimmings, being I'M
der the direct supervision OF Isaac W..
Flanagan, of the firm Of O. e. Math-
ers & Co. There will be about twen-
ty-five men employed in the concern,
when in full running order. 1t is an
ticipated that the city council will,
at its next meetaR, grant the pr1v1-
lege to the Northwestern railway COM
pany TO extend their tracks for the
purpose of carrying cattle, hogs and
sheep to the doors of the packing
house.

IMPORTANT TRANSFER.

One Of the most Important real
estate transfers that has taken place
in the city for some time was consum
mated last evening between Messrs.
Geo. E. Brett and DIR. Harrington,
whereby the former gets the beautiful
residence property corner Jackson and
Broad streets and DR.. Harrington be-
comes the owner Of the residence lots
on Second street near the M. e.
church and the two residences at the
head Of Second, one Of which is now
occupied by MI. Brett.
By this exchange Mr.. BRETT becomes
the pOssessOr of one Of the most de-
sirable residences in the city, with
handsome grounds and an unexcelled
location.
Mr.. and Mrs Harrington, it is IN
derstood. will spend the winter IN
California. New Mexico and other
tropical chimes, and it is not unlikely
that most of their winters Ia the future
win be spent in travel. For this rea-
son they decided to dispose Of their
elegant home and not have its care on
their minds when absent. 1t is the
intention of the Doctor to put up two
or more houses on the grounds near
the church and fit them up with all
modern conveniencies for rent.
Both parties TO the deal are to be
CONGRATULATED. The amount allowed
in the exchange for the Harrington
residence was 1900.
