Comncndablc Move.
The, board of public works, finding
that tho contractors for sewers and
drains would be unable TO obtain a
sufficient quantity of brick at an early
day with which TO complete both the
Luck avenue and Commerce street sec.
tons OF the drains Oh said streets in
order that the street railway tracks
may be replaced as soon as possible,
have instructed the contractor to begin
work at the extreme southern end OF
said drain working towards Luck
avenue. 1t is thought that this section
can be completed in few days so that
citizens living near the Franklin road
line Of street railway may hope to
enjoy the luxury OF fine ride on the
electric cars in that section onco again.
The inconvenience to which the
travelling public In this section of the
city has been subjected by this open
ditch has been very great and every
effort is being made to finish the job in
good style and allow citizens to present
themselves to their families at proper
hour, in proper temper and with ar

PROSPECTS FOR SOUTHERN STEEL
MAKING.

The establish ment OF the manufac.
ture OF steel in the Sou tn upon practical
and commercial basis seems to be
nearer realization at the present time
than ever before, says the Nanufac
tureT's Record.
The experiments of the Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railway Company, with
the Talbot open hearth process at Biz
mingnam are reported TO have given
such successful results that the estab-
lishnent OF large plant by this com
pany in Alabama is now accepted as an
immediate probability. The Talbot
process has boon subjected TO sufficient
test 10 demonstrate It's suitability for
the use of Southern material, and there
is every reason to believe thata sui table
plant constructed for the use Of this
process could be operated with salts fac.
tory results, both from technical and
commercial standpoint. 1t may be &C.
cepte6 as an established fact that Ala
bama will before long have 4 steel plant
worthy of the name and dependent en-.
tire,y upon native resources.
the prospects for steel-making in the
South at the present time point in two
direc .ions--first, the utilization of Ala
bana iron by means of the Talb ,tt pro.
cess, and second, the smelling of Cuban
Bessemet ores in Southern furnaces
thereby producing stock that can be
used by the ordinary Bessemer process.
The rapid development of tho Cuban
ore deposits, and the very large intere st
that has been displayed in these re-
sources by men who have been active
in Southern development, encourages
the belief that it will not be long before
Cuba will furnish the basis for q large
Bessemer steel industry in tho South.

RAILROAD MATTERS.

The formal opening Of the Saranac Lake
and Lake Placid railroad will take place
July A.
There is evidently a movement on foot to
consolidate the Bennington and Rutland
and the Lebanon Springs railroad compa-
MES, says tho Troy Times. The Lebanon
Springs road, which runs from Benningt ton
to Chatham, go miles, was recently organ
lied by the election OF strong board of
directors, two OF whom are directors of the
Bennington and Rutland railroad. Accord
ing to law all railroads in Vermont must
have five residents in the State on the
board of directors, and it is said that when
that portion of the Lebanon Springs road
which runs into Vermont shall be reorgan-
lied the five directors called for by the law
will probably be elected from the directors
of the bennington and Rutland road. 1t
is further stated that Gel. Mccullough OF
Bennington, president of the bennington
and Rutland and the principal stakeholder
of the company, is DESTROYS Of disposing OF
the property. a consolidation would result
in mutual benefit to the roads.
William V. Reynolds, receiver OF the lie
bauon Springs railroad, which runs from
bennington to Chatham, states that it will
be three or four months before he can wind
I'D the affairs OF the road so as to pass II
into tho hands of the new company, recent
" organized in New York. Indication,
daily grow stronger that the new company
will purchase the bennington and Rutland
railway, with the object of consolidating
the roads.

"No doubt" said IL citizen, men wear
better clothes now than ever before, and no
doubt more men than ever conform to po-
lite usages in dress. There are now many
men who can wear "a dress suit with almost
faultlcss Inconsistencies who once never
wore one ut all nnd the purchasers of dress
suits nowadays are by no means confined to
any particular part OF the city, and there
are many men who, while they may not
provide themselves with "A dress suit as IL
part Of their regular equipment, yet wear
one upon special occasions.
There was time, and it is well within
the recollection of the oldest inhabitaut,
when the business of the man who kept
dress suits TO hire was n theme for the local
newspapers and for the correspondents of
newspapers out of town, but there are many
places in the city now where dress suits
may be hired, including not II few in dis
tricts quite remote from Broadway and
Fifth avenue New York Sun.
