MAY BUILD AT LOUISVILLE.
The Illinois Central May Erect Shops at That Point.


 Louisville. Ky, July 30.-The Evening Post says:
 ''The Illinois Central has secured an option on eighty acres of ground just out side of the southern part of the city, and it has been definitely intimated to the city offiicals that the building of large shops is under consideration. Certain concessions are necessary and If these can be se- cured, 1t is reasonably certain that the option will be closed, and the shops built. Agents for the road have been inquir- ing into labor conditions in Louisville, and the report they made was extremely satisfactory to the management of the road. In Chicago disputes between labor and capital are 30 frequent that the large corporations lose every year thousands of dollars from this cause.
 This question is said to enter largely into the consideration, in addition to the fact that shops to supply the demands of the territory south of the Ohio are need ed
