tabiishcd Here.

Mr.. William X. Trigg president OF the
Richmond Locomotive and Machine
Works, returned 10 the city yesterday
morning from the White sulphur Springs

ers will DO awarded TO him by the gov
eminent
The award will be made In week or
ten days, and IL Is now pretty well set
tied that the work OF establishing a<ship

thought that in a bout sixty days this
work can be advanced far enough 10
commence work on the ships.
The establishment OF such an enterprise
will give work 10 nearly every machine
shop in Richmond in the way Of sub
contracts.
Mir Trigg appeared before meeting
OF the boards of the three commercial

the enterprise TO them. Those present

days ago showed that a large majority
of the residents bought all thcir goods

time ago the committee put down the
stan rent TO the lowest figures in the
hope that additional renters might be Sc
cured. The desired result was not at
tanned however and the nope Of making
the market paying institution has been
practically abandoned.
N As thoucht that hv erecting a small
