Snow and Rain-GIoomy Outlook for Crops
Illness Of Professor Bondurant.

VARIETY SHADE, Mar 3O.-lSpecial The
bad weather which commenced about ground
hog day" still continues. Snow fell Friday
night 10 the depth Of two inches. followed
with sleet and rain, and We may thus expect
this to be followed with high water, mud
and bad roads.
This execrable season has not been sur
passed since the spring Of 1868, tho time that
Sheridan raidcd and devastated the James
River Valley, that year the oat crop was
seeded late in April, and the corn crop was
planted in May and June.
II looks like the present season is 10 be n
repetition Of that year: the outlook for good
crops is gloomy. owing to the bad season, and
farmers are much discouraged at their pros
poets.
Recent intelligence received from the
mother Of Professor A. /. Bondurant, Of the
University of Mississippi who has been ex-
tremely III for several weeks, informs his
friends that his condition is more favorable.
and hopes are entertained that he will soon
be restored to health. and can resume his
duties in that institution

10 be Erected, giving Employment to
Ono Hundred or moro Additional
Nlcn...othcr Improvements also Dc.
cided on.--A Record of Prosperity.

Extensive improvements will be made
ut tho Standard IRON Works tho first Of
the year. Three or four sheet mills
willbe put in, increasing tho number
of men employed by 100 or more. A
fine new Office will BIO erected, a now
warehouse built and other improve.
ments made. The blacksmith shop will
bctorn down and the present anncaling
house removed, and tho new sheet mills
put up on the site OF these buildings.
The two.story brick building now occu-
pied as offices will DO torn down, also
several pudding furnaces, and large
warehouse will be erected on tho site OF
these and extending clear over TO the
Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling railroad,
this company and tho Atna having Sc.
cured possession OF the ground now
used,as q wagon road. In addition to
these improvements others will DO
made, making tho Standard ono OF the
largest sheet mills in tho country.
This is no idle rumor. The iniorma.
ton is unofficial. but authentic, tho
plans are in the Office at tho works and
have been for some time, and the work
will be commenced soon, likely carly in
January. Nearly all Of the details arc
complete. The Standard mill was built
in 1882, since which time the capacity
has been doubled. There are now four
sheet mills, one plate mill and seven
pudding furnaces, one scrap furnace
and n large corrugating department.
The product OF the Standard il rs good
as any made anywhere. The mill is one
OF the most successful in tho United
States. 1t runs steadily and the earn
lngs are satisfactory.
at the lElna, its near neighbor, the
large new mill is now in operation and
running satisfactorily, other improve
ments are i'll progress. with additional
ones in contemplation. The !Etna mill
is now ono Of the very largest on the
continent, and few, if any, have been
more successful the past five years.

pie are found who lament the decad-

Tor the utteranCe OF their jeremiads is
when some factory removes, or rs that
is seldom, talks OF removing. 1t was
lately pointed out in the Embellishments
that these croakers had been rebukcd
recently by the fact that after the Bod.
Icy wagon works removed from Wheel
ing to Staunton, much to their despair,
two important ncw;industries, the West
Virginia tobacco company and the
Bostwick iirc-prooi steel lath company,
had found accommodations III the
building the one company had before
occupied, the two new factories already
employing more hands by Il large
majority than the old one, and both be-
ing growing concerns. There is now a
bright promise that the same kind OF
q story. may soon be told OF the other
Wheeling, factory which has moved
away and made the local pessimis.s
weep.
A company is now being formed with
every prospect OF success to occupy the
old ArbcnG furniture factory, on the
south bank OF tho creek, which has been
vacant ever since the furniture bust
ness was removed to an Ohio town. Mr..
John ArbcnZ, who owns the building,
is understood to be in the new COM
pany, but the main part OF tho capital
will be held by Chicago men old in the
s business, who seek Il location whore
competition in freights between the
river and rail give low rates to the
South and West.
The company is to manufacture rat
tan goods. and owns several patents OF
value. 1t is expected to enter the bust
ness at the frs. on a large scale, and
employ number OF skilled workers.
1t is not yet definitely settled that the
concern will be located here but the ne
gotiations are in such m advanced
stage that it is almosta certainty that
it will.
There is another very important en-,
terprisc which is seeking location in
Wheeling, which presents almost un-
surpassed advantages for the business,
and rs suitable locality is not hard to
find and fuel is cheap, there is strong
probability that it also will come at an
early day. 1t will represent as much
money and employ as many men as
almost any industry now in operation
