A WEEK OF GREAT ACTIVITY,
SHOWING THE ORGANIZA.
TON OF MANY BIG EN-
TERPRISES.

Special reports to the Manufacturers
Record show that industrial activity
throughout the South increases with the
approach of spring. The past week has
been a very busv one, and many enterpri-
ses of great magnitude have been con-
sumated that will add largely to the prog
ress and prosperity of the whole South.
There is a decided revival in the proiec-
ton of new cotton mills, and South Caro-
lima shows for the week two new mill
companies, with an aggregate capital of
81, 100000, and active work commenced
on the building of another mill to cost
100000. In Columbus, Ga, $780, 900
will be spent in charging a cotton mill
now in operation, and in Salisbury, N. c.,
a new mill will be built. In Virginia a
800 900 steel and iron company has been
organized, and at Buena Vistain the same
State a S., 900, 900 land company has been
chartered. $500 900 brass works are to
be moved from New York to Virginia,
and it is reported that a $1,000, 900 manu-
featuring company will be moved to the
same State from Louisville. In Tennes-
see Northern capitalists have justinvested
heavily in Chattanooga, the aggregate
amount being reported at 100000 to
ST., 500, 900. A private letter from Great
Britain to the Manufacturers Record re-
ports the full organization of a company,
with a capital of $4,000 900 to purchase
and develop large mineral properties in
east Tennessee, which were investigated
last fall by English experts. Georgia
shows the organization of a So, OOO,O 600
land and lumber company to operate in
the timoer regions of the Southern part of
the State. A $500, 900 coal mining and
coke company, and a $3.50, 900 oil and gas
company have been chartered in West
Virginia. In Florida a 100000 phOs-
plate company has been organized; in
Charleston, s. g., a $35, 900 lead company;
in Bristol, Tenn, a $25, 900 foundry and
machine works company. In Baltimore
a $685. 900 company is to build extensive
electrical works, and 100000 has been
added % the capital of car works now in
operation to enlarge operations.
This is a brief summary of some OF the
leading enterprises that have become re-
alities during the week, and does not in
clude many projected enterprises, such
for instan ,e as a SIS, ZOO, 900 improvement
company in North Carolina; a $4,000
steel company in Alabama, etc., that
are being worked up, but are not definitely
secured yet. This summary does not,
moreover, by any means, include all the
enterprises reported in this weeks issue
o. the Manufacturer Record, but merely
the more important ones 1t is enough,
however, to indicate how wide and how
diversified is the industrial activity that
prevails throughout the South.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Dec. l, 1890.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Dec. l, 1890.
The firm of James O'Conner & Co.,
Knoxville, Tenn, saddle and harness
manufacturers, have their employees be-
cause they were members of the Saddle
and Harness Makers Union. A commit
tee from the Central Labor Uni IN of this
city, called on the firm in hopes of arriv-
ing at a ~peaceable settlement OF the lOck-
out. They were informed by Mr.. W. M.
Wilson, the managing partner of the firm,
that there was only n member Of the
Saddle and Harness Makers Union OF this
city, that they would employ, and when
asked if he did not think that he
would secure a larger trade by employing
union men, especially among the farmers,
he replied: az do not! And as to the
Farmers Alliance, they do not amount
to anything, for we have accounts against
the Alliance n Georgia for which we will
take fifty cents on the dollar"
Since the trouble first started, James
O'Conner, of the firm, has disposed of his
interest in the same to Mr.. R. j. Lane,
the firm now being Wilson & Lane.
The statement of MI. Wilson shows
Whist little respect he has for a large num-
Der of his Gu ;tomers and the fact that he
is opposed to a man simply because that
man is a member of the Union of bis
craft, shows the principle o: the a
We call the attention of all fair-minded
men to this n point: That citizens of
this country, even if they do have to work
for a living, are not owned and cont oiled,
body and soul, by their employers. Such
a state of affairs cannot exist in govern
ment like ours. We are and must be free
and equal, and if a man wishes to join this
Union he must be at perfect liberty to do
so. This is American, and no custom,
usage or law can deprive the American
citizen of this right.
If this firm can compel their men to
give up their Union, how long will it be
before every Union in country can
be swept out Of existence2 But the true
spirit Of Ameaican manhood can never be
subjected to such ingloTious treatment as
this.
In conclusion, we ask all Union men,
and fair minded citizens to stand up fol
the Harness Makers Uniou in this strug-
gle, and show that the freedom of oul
citizens is not imperiled by the wOuld-be
autocrats of the above named firm.

A DEFINITE OFFER.

The California Athletic Club Win Give
S7,5OO for a Contest Between Jim Cor
bett and Peter Maher in january Next
Probable Battle Between LIE Blanche
and O'Brien.
NEW YORK, Nov. Al Special. 1.-The fol-
lowing special dispatch was received at the
Police Gazette Office to-day from r. Valen-
tine, the Chairman of the Boxing Commit
tee of the California Athletic Club:
"At meeting of the Boxing Committee
of the California Athletic Club to-day it
was decided to offer purse of $500 for a
contest between Peter Maher, the Irish
champion, and Jim Corbett, to be held
under the auspices of the club in January.
viii you please use your influence and cor
respond with Maher and Corbett in regard
to the matter"
After the above was received Billy Mad
den, Maher's manager, and Jim Corbett
were wired for their reply. There is every
probability of an international prize tight
being arranged between Jack O'Brien, the
famous English middle-weight, and George
La Blanche, the Marine, who is now living
in Ogden, Utah. Recently the Police Ga
zetts correspondent in London cabled as
follows:
''O'Brien called at the Sporting Life Office
to-day and issued a challenge to fight
George La Blanche, the Marine, at IL
stone, in the National Athletic, Bolin-
broke or Pelican Clubs, or in the club Of
fering the biggest purse, and will allow La
Blanche $50 for expenses O'Brien's
hacker will also back him for $500 indie
pendent of the purse, if the American has
hacker. O'Brien has posted $50 with the
Sporting Life to show he is in earnest.
To-day the following reply was received
from lie Blanche: 81 see that Jack O'Brien,
of London, England wants to fight me in
the National Club, London, and that they
offer a purse. L will go over to England
and fight O'Brien if he will allow $500 for
expenses, the money to be sent to the Police
Gazette Office. 1 will fight O'Brien for the
biggest purse that any responsible club will
offer, at 14S pounds. If this suits O'Brien
the National Club can deposit $500 with
Richard X Fox and the match can be
ratified. GEORGE lie BLANCHE,

MARK BALDWIN does not want an increase
of salary.
TOMMY MCCARTHY and Jim O'Neill are at
Hot Springs.
THE excellent game of bowling is having
quite local boom just now.
IT is stated that AL Buckenberger desires

willing to play against the Gyms.
"SILvER'' FLINT, once the famous catcher,

WAMPUM-It is a catch bet, and according
to our customary ruling is no bet all.
THE Kansas City club claims to have
bought from Sioux City the release of Billy

SULLIVAN and his friends now declare that
he has not touched a Drop for a very long
time. The question is: How long?
THERE is evidently a disturbing element at

Athletics when the Columbus people are
thrown down.
ABOUT two years ago Amos Rusie was
working in an upholstery establishment in
Indianapolis for 81 so day. Now he de-
mands 5000 for six months work.
The desire of prominent National League
players to join the Association is not one
tenth as strong as it is to scare the League
magnates into increasing salaries.
If there is anything like gratitude and the
spirit of fair play in the players of the Gin
cinnati team of last season, they would all
willingly sign with Mr.. Brush for next sea-
son.
IT is evident that Zack Phelps desires to
be a funny man. His latest joke is that the
American Association will have ten-club
circuit next year. The circuit will never be
that big, but the Association may expert
ment with twice ten clubs during next
season.
PITCHER "ED" CRANE has written several
letters to President Day asking for posi-
tion on the New York team next season. If
he agrees to keep sober and is in good con-
dition he will most likely be signed by the
New Yorks. His contract with the Cincin-
natis was only for part of last season, and
was not binding for 1892

cinnatis, approached Second Baseman Nc
Phee a few days ago and tried to sign him

He assured the official that he had no in
tention of playing in any other city than

A DISPATCH from New Haven says: Stanley
Morrison took his place in the rush line to-
day and prncticed for half an hour with the
Yale players. He is rather soft. and the
rough work compelled him to retire. Nc
Chung was in his old place at half back. This
wars his first appearance since he broke his
thumb in the game with Stagg's eleven. Nc
Cormick again distinguished himself by
kicking a goal from the field at the 3O-yard
line. The practice is said to have been the
best of the season.

HARVARD VERY CONFIDENT.
Its Football Players Certain of Defeating the
Team From Yale.


SPRINGFIELD, Nov. 4.-Will it be Yale
or Harvard in the coming football contest
at Hampder Park? This is the question
that is vigorously discussed in this city.
Harvard men express themselves as certain
of victory. While admitting that their
team is nos as strong as last year, they claim
that Yale is playing weaker game just
now. This is not borne out by the practice
of the blues. They appear to be putting up
a stiff game, and will go into the contest
here on November 81 full of confidence.
The city is happy in having secured the
games for the next four wears, and the citi-
zens will do all in their power to favor the
boys and help make the games successful
Work on the big grand stand will begin
soon. The stand will be a circular one, and
it will have seating capacity of 22, 900 per-
field will be roped off for the PLAYERS, train
ers and reporters Excursion trains will be
run on all the railroads entering Spring
field, and reduced rates of fare will be Of
fered, Harvard will probably quarter at
the Cooley House, where the team put up
last year, and Yale will doubtless 60 to the
Massasoit.
Most of the hotels already have been be-
sieged for accommodations. A large dele
cation of Smith College girls intend to be
present, and number of young ladies will
also be on hand from Vassar. There will be
fewer tally-ho parties this year, because the
new grand stand will shut out their view
The expense for fitting up the stands and
rental of the park is something like S., 900.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
ERIE, Nov. 4.-United States Marshal
Barring turned up another manufacturer of
spurious money to-day. The prisoner is
Farmer William Van Nauler, of Venango
borough, Crawford county. Van Nauler
was the owner of the molds with which
James Mccormick. now in the Scranton
Jail, and William Seeley, also in custody,
manufactured the spurious money which
they circulated at the Stoneboro, Cambridge
and other county fairs.
Miss Nettie Morgan, who was arrested at
the same time that Seeley was taken, and
was also captured by Detectives Nc
Sweeney and McManus, is valuable pris-
oner, saying more than is good for lover.
Miss Morgan is but Is years of age and
quite comely. Her mother, fearing that
her daughter will be sent to the State Re-
formatory, claims that her daughter is older
than she really is.
The girl was used by Seely and his gang
as sort of treasurer, and as custodian of
the supplies. The molds were found in her
possession, wrapped in nightdress. The
gang used Van Nauler's house as a fence
and operated their mint there, which was,
withal, quite crude, and the products could
only be circulated among rustics.

CORKHILL SIGNS.

Pop Acts squarely With the Club and Is
Ready for Next Season.
Word was received in the city yesterday
afternoon to the effect that Manager Nc
Gunnigle had signed Corkhill to play for
the Pittsburg club next season. Corkhill,
although offered more money to play else
where, considered that his contract with
Pittsburg was binding for next year because
of the option clause it contained, and he
willingly signed definite contract for next
season. He receives the same rate of salary
as he got last season. A portion Of advance
money was forwarded him yesterday.
It is expected that Manager McGunnigle
will sign one or two more players before
the week is ended. Mark Baldwin will
probably not sign until next February or
March. Last year he signed on February
q, and may wait until that date this time.
