FINANCIAL PANIC.
Chicago Ranks the Victims of Wild Un-
founded RumOrs.

CHICAGO, June 6.-Wild and unfounded
rumors of impending financial disaster
caused a senseless run on many of the
banks in Chicago. Those chiefly affected
were the Prairie State National bank, the
State Bank of Commerce, the Hibernian
Savings bank, the Dime Savings bank, the
Union Trust Company's bank and the
Illinois Trust and Savings bank.
Under the circumstances it is no small
tribute to the sagicy, soundness and fore
sight of Chicago bankers to say that all
withstood the strain. Where the rumors
ssprang from is mystery. 1t is IL mystery
how they spread, for wildfire is no quicker
in its flight than rumor when she takes
fling at the banks

CHICAGO, June 6.-The biggest event
that has happened of late in this eventful
city was the arrival about noon of the
special train bearing the Spanish princess,
the Infant Eulalie, and suite. All the
great sights of the Worlds fair city were
as nothing compared to the privilege of

The greatest enthusiasm was shown by
the people, and the infanta has expressed
herself as much pleased with her recep-

Mrs. Potter Palmer will entertain the
princess at a grand reception, and of
course all the wonders of the white city

Prohibitionists Again A fter Sioux
Falls Dispensers of Drinks.
SIOUX FALLS, July 15.-The twenty
saloonkeepers doing business in this
city are dancing around on the gridiron.
The cause Of their uneasiness is the
fact that Prof. F. j. Walsh, of the Bap.
tist university, and j. B. Merideth,
prominent business man of this place,
are about to resume the fight, aban-
doned year ago, the issue of which
was the closing of the saloons. A lead
ing saloonkeeper today got his saloon
fixtures in shape to move at moments
notice into some other quarters, provid-
ing the prohibitionistS closed up his
present place. Others say they will
move from room to room, and tire out
the parties representing the dry side of
the question. Still others say that the
leaders of the movement to close the
liquor shops are the kind that don't tire
out, and this class is consequently i'll at
ease over the state of affairs. The keep
ers can get no redress from the city,
although they have paid their SIS each
for the privilege of selling liquor dur
ing July, as the city officials have issued
no written agreement showing t:iat the
nne has been paid, nor has any form el
license been given in writing.

ANOTHER BOOMING CONCERN.
A Wheel and Foundry Plant in
Profitable Oneration.


One Of the most important of the new
manufacturing industries In the city is
that of the Northwestern Wheel and
Foundry company, located on the site
of the old harvester works, at the cor
ner of Saltwater avenue and Phalen
street. This concern has made an in
Vestment of nearly half-million dol
lars and employs 200 men, most of whom
are skilled mechanics and artisans.
The pay roll of the works is from 81 200
to S1,500 day, or $1,000 a week. The
corporation was formed April l, 1892,
and is officered as follows: David
G. Green, president; Samuel NJ. Green,
vice president; William p. Harper,
treasurer, and Gustave Scholle, secretary.
The works opened for general opera
tions in April of last year, and are the
largest machinery factory in the Twin
Cities, outside of railroad shops. The
line of manufacture embraces car
wheels and machinery, castings of all
descriptions, railroad castings and struc-
turai iron. All kinds of work ia wrought
and cast iron, as well as forge work, is
done in this factory, and the machinery
larger and heavier than in aEy shop
west of Chicago. The pattern shop is
already well equipped, and a CORPS of
competent engineers is employed by the
concern to make designs and give eSti-
mates on work.
The plan for the works was conceived
in the rail- of 1891, and us it was deemed
that this city is pecul iarly fitted for
such concern, capital readily invested
IN what has since proven to be an eX-
cellent thing for the city, and profitable
to the investors. There was invested
in site, buildings and equipments
aside from supplies nearly S4OO,O
One of the buildings used for factory
purposes is 500 feet long by so feet
wide and two stories high; another
building is 2S0 feet long by 25O feet
wide, and has height of 40 feet,
with 2S feet clear under the trusses.
The remarkable success of the factory
during its first season developed the
fact that the factory buildings were too
small, and large addition was planned
and erected this spring, and is now
being utilized in carrying out the large
manufacturing line of this establish
ment. The manufactory was success
from the start, and Is destined to add
much to its present business and help
to rapidly build up the city in popula-
ton and as manufacturing center. 1t
was there that the structural iron and
machinery for the immense Wood
Harvester works were made. In speak
ing OF the prospects of the works day
or two ago, Mr.. Harper told a GLOBE
representative that they are excellent;
that the success in the past has been
beyond the highest expectations. The
concern has already On hand orders for
work that will insure steady work for
the remainder of the season, even if no
more orders shall be received.

danger to even the best laid schemes.
fortunate execution of bold conceptions
commands tribute from the Iaborer and
the prince. Wise designs, consummat-
ed by the most persistent labor, the
bravest effort long continued, often
pass unnoticed, even among those most
benefited.
The manufacturing institutions of st.
Paul are the result of hard work OH the
part OF their promoters and managers.
Yet they are of high reputation, and
their products stand well i'll the markets
of tho world, Greatest of its kiud in
this section of country, if not in the
Union, is the Walter A. Wood Har-
vester works. While the natural ad-
vantages of st. Paul as a location for
such plant cessarily had weight in
the selection of this city as the home of
the great enterprise, competition to Sc
cure it was so keen, that only by the
genius and business nerve of some of
our solid citizens was it finally made an
accomplished fact in our midst.
Once the site was decided on, con-
tracts were let and the buildings began
to take shape. They were pushed to COM
pletlon rapidly, and the building of
machines began as soon as the struct-
ureS were complete. Of course, moth
ing like the full capacity of the works
has yet been reached, but since the be-
ginning OF manufacture no time has
been lost. At this season of the year it
is customary for such institutions to
close down temporarily. as the output
for the season is complete and gen.
eral oyerhauling is necessary before be-
ginning the work of the coming year.
But preparations for next seasons out
put are going on uninterruptedly, and
within very short time every depart
ment will be working up to the limit
again.
For the season just closing the
record has been excellent. An i'm
menSe number of machines have
been turned out, and General
Manager Mcgowan reports that
the manufactured stock has been
cleaned up in very satisfactory man
ner. within few days." said he, i'll

the highest degree. in the face of the
fact that crop indications are not as
bright as at first reported. We have
sent machines to the Pacific coast and
to Oklahoma and Texas. The harvest
is practically over in these places now,
of course. and our current shipments
are to states that are much closer.
Without boasting we can say that, all
things considered, the prospects for
the future are encouraging and up to
our expectations"
From all the Information obtainable,
it is safe to say that it can be only
question of a very brief period until the
Walter A. Wood Harvester works will
realize to the fullest the hopes of those
who worked so hard to secure their loca-
tion i'll st. Paul. More has Leen accom-
plished already than was expected the
first year. and the active managers are
more than gratifed with st. Paul as
great central manufacturing and dis
tributing point.

Building Inspector Morris, in speak
Ing of the work done during the first
half of the year, said the tightness of the
money market undoubtedly had caused
some projected building to be post

Paul has done remarkably well. The
majority of the buildings erected had
been business blocks, flats and manu-

handsome and costly structures.

public. There are many other very i'm
portant establishments, however, and
one of the best is the st. Paul Stove
works, located where Arthur street
crosses Concord street and the railroad
tracks, In the Sixth ward. The stove
works cover great deal of territory,
and a trip through the various depart
ments shows they are as big as they look.
In half hours conversation with
George l.. Farwell, president of the
company, GLOBE reporter learned
some facts of which probably four -fifths
of our people are uniformed. The
first and most prominent fact is that the
st. Paul Stove works can successfully
compete with any concern in the Union
for quality of product, and can also sell
as cheap as any, for goods of equal eX-
cellence. The second notable fact is
that right here in our midst are being
manufactured heaters and cook stoves
that are being sold in all the states
from the coast to Texas, and are win
ming their way solely on their merits.
For the first time since we began
operations" said Mr.. FarWell. 1--WE have
a stock of manufactured goods on hand.
From the first we have found a good
market. This year we have fully
doubled on our sales of last year for
like period. Still, we are not satisfied
that we have reached anything like our
limit. While we have kept our men
busy since the opening, except for
about ten days when the high water in
vaded our foundry last spring, we
have room to work almost as many
more men as we have now. Stoves
are most in demand, of course, in
the fall and winter months. There
was time when the spring trade was a
factor in this business, but the oil
stoves have killed that. We expect,
however, to clean up about all the
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1893-07-16

/ manufactured stock we have on hand.
"By the way" he continued, I'VE are
getting out some stoves, both heaters
and cooks, that are exclusively our own,
, and, judging from reports, they are
making splendid record"
Asked as to what effect,if any. the pre-
vailing stringency Is having on sales
and collections, Mr.. Farwell said that,
while his company naturally felt the
tension somewhat, they could not COM
plain. ave are securing our share of
trade, and we are not having any more
trouble than is to be expected in max
ing collections. AS matter of course,
financial dealings are not as free and
wholesome as they would be if it were
not for what Bob lngersoll aptly styles
the bankers panic;;' yet on the whole l
am of the opinion the time for an easing
Off is at hand, and that normal condi-
tions will soon prevail again."
During the trip through the works Mr..
Farwell showed the visitor a lot of
Laura Nevins ranges, Minnesota in
vention, made up ready for shipment.
1--WE have recently shipped some of
these to Cape Town, South Africa"
said he. at is a down-draft range of
peculiar construction, as you will
notice, with round fre-pot and double
oven. When it becomes better known
and its splendid qualities are fully un-
derstood, expect that it will test the
present capacity of these works to
supply the demand for this one stove"
In this plant is exemplified the wis
dom and economy of making use of the
latest and best developments of science
and mechanics. The company has ur-
der its own roof an even-fowiny
artesian we'll and facilities for mann
featuring gas which light the whole
establishment at cost of about $50
season. The expense for fuel
is cut to a mere bagatelle.
owing to the perfection of the
arrangements. In the winter it will
average about $3.50 per day; at present
1t is something less than 81 per day. On
the coldest day the shops are kept com
fortably warm by the dead steam which
is usually wasted through an exhaust
pipe. This is aided IN the morning by
the inletting of live steam. Stoves are
used to heat the business office. but not
wlthstanding this. the manager of the
stove works apparently deserves the
credit of solving, to their own satisfac-
tion, at least, the fuel problem. Every
thing about the place, from the placing
of coal in the boiler room to the loading
of finished product on the cars. is ar
ranged with the most exact care to save
time and effort. Further, it may be in
terestlng to state that no stove, or part
of a stove, leaves the shipping room
until it has been inspected and tested in
the most critical manner in the other
departments. Complaints of def eetiye
goods are practically unknown.
