The failure of the Pottsvills Iron and

affair and will not interfere with the
work which that company has in hand

grandest improvements contemplated
in this city, the 10-story Mears' build
ing, the Hotel Jermyn and the Nay
Aug bridge, which is the only key to
the Boulevard, depended for their early
completion upon the company. there
was considerable talk and many con-
jectives occasioned by the announce
ment Of their failure.
W. A. Malany, foreman of the COM
pany, yesterday started work on each
of the three contracts. A boiler and
engine were put in place at the Msars
building and gang of men were sent
to Nay Aug to unload car Of the
bridge iron which arrived yesterday.
Mr.. Malany said all three jobs will
be pushed to hasty completion. They
can work day and night il necessary.

ninghamtOn Industrial Expositlon.


That the exposition this year will be a
larger and more magnificent one than ever
before attempted is an assured fact. The
management have taken hold with a de-
termination to excel and have succeeded
IN securing exhibits, varied, rich. and cost

New Tariff Bill Has Depressing Effac

New Tariff Bill Has Depressing Effect
on II Already.
The Green Ridge Glass works will
not resume operations on Sept. l, as
expected, and the management is un-
able now to say Just when it will be
possible to again light the furnaces
The tariff bill is responsible for this.
AT present the outlook for the pres
ent season is not very bright. It is GUS
tomary for the glass factories all over
the country to light up about Sept. l,
but this year orders are nor plentiful.
The new tariff bill makes 25 per
cent. reduction on glass which will
greatly interfere with the American
industry and enable European goods to
make serious inroads on the trade Of
the American factories in the home
market
