MORE GOOD NEWS.
THR BELMONT BLAST FURNACE TO BE
BLOWN IN.
It Will Probably Start a Week From Tomorrow,
Giving Employment TO Two Hundred ken.
Industrial Notes.

Late last night II was reported that the
Belmont blast furnace would be blown in
soon. An investigation revealed the fact
that arrangements are being made TO start
the furnace soon, which in all probability
will be one week from tomorrow.
This news will be received with glad
ness in many households, for the furnace
has been idle since last July and it employs
over two hundred persons.
A talk with one of the management did
not verify the date of starting, but neither
would a denial be made. II was later
learned from good authority that the de-
sire IS to keen the matter Of starting as
much of a secret as possible, that the
management may not be bothered with the
hundreds OF idle persons who will apply
for employment. These facts were learned
from one entirely qualified to know.
The news spread rapidly and last night
it was the talk Of that section Of the city.
Business men are particularly pleased, as
next to the workmen themselves they are
most interested. Trade has been dull with
some of the Sixth ward retailers ever
since the plant closed last summer.
The furnace is now in the finest Of con-
dition. The machinery has been repaired.
Additional machinery has also been placed
at the furnace.
Several weeks ago the company got in a
good supply of ore over the c., L. & w.
Everything is now in readiness to put in
the blast, as even the wood is cut ready to
start. II is said, that the latter part Of
this week the fires will be lighted, prepar-
otory to blowing in the following Monday.

grievance which they will state in a
petition to the Board of Aldermen. They
wish the Board to pass an ordinance
prohibiting the sale of vegetables on the
streets during market hours. In
their petition the hucksters say:
I'VE are perfectly willing for you
to compel peddlers to come to the market
house and sell from their wagons at
retail and Wholesale. But this selling
all over the streets is killing the market.
Not one of us in the market but has lost
money for the last three or four months.
We venture the assertion that were

market house there would not be
70 people enter there n day. Why /?

come for anything else, as they are fully
supplied at their own DOORS"

lie not granted the Board reduce the
rents 90 per cent. for the next two
months In closing. they say: THE
time has come when we must have better
protection or vacate the market house"
