HALF A MILLION OF DOLLARS.
IS THE AMOUNT INVESTED IN MANUFACTURE
ING ENTERPRISES HERE THIS YEAR.
The Most Prosperous Year in Columbus History
The End Not Magnificent Prospect Ahead
Notwithstanding the Price of Cotton.

Father Time is about to add
one more notch to his gnarled
stick which marks the passage
of the years, and the year which
is so soon to die has been for Co
lumbus the most prosperous in
its history. At the beginning OF
the year which is now dying
there was organized in this city
the Columbus Progressive Union,
and the fruits of it's labOrs are
seen in the towering smOkestacks
which rise from many factories
where hundreds of busy work
men are employed in the manu-
facture of many articles varying
in character from wrought iron
stoves to fleece lined underwear.
At this season it will not be
amiss to comment in detail upon
the different industries which
have been established here since !
the beginning of the presen
year.
One of the most important OIL
the new enterprises is the
Standard Stove Works, which
were moved here from Fort Pay
ne, Ala, and which began opera
tions during the later part OF
SeDtem ber This concern is
capitalized at S15O,OO0, of which
amount local capitalists furnish
ed $4,000, the remaining $780,
900 having been furnished by the
gentleman who were interested
in the enterprise before it was
moved to this city and who have
since become citizens of COlum-
bus. This company employs
about 90 workmen, most of whom
are skilled labOrers earning from
three to six dollars per day and
the weekly pay roll amounts to
about 81, 100
Another enterprise of equal
Importance is the Kavanaugh
Knitting Mill, which was remov-
ed to Columbus from Cohoes, \.
Y. and which was established
here on practically the same
plan as the Standard Stove
Works. This concern Is also
capitalized at $3.50. 900, as was the
case with the stove works, one
third of the stock was subscribed
by local capitalists. the remand
er being owned by Mr. Kava-
naugh and his Eastern associates
The mill, which is now nearing
completion, will employ about
$50 operatives and the weekly
pay roll will amount to about
$1,000.
The Columbus Cordage Com
pany is another enterprise which
has recently been launched and |
which began operations about
the middle of October. This en-
terprise represents an invest
ment of about $4,000, and is
owned entirely by local men,
Messrs. John Steen. J. W.
Jones and Ben n. Love being
the principal stockholders. The |

fore the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. MT. Woodbury has been studying electricity, from the point of view of its fire hazard, for nearly twenty-five years that is, ever since electricity in it's various phases be- came a factor in the industrial and social life Of our people. During this quarter of a century, from a toy. or a phenomenon, electricity has become the instrumentality through which q great part of our illumination is obtained, by means of which local transportation in a great variety of forms is effected and also the means by which the rapid interchange of thought through the tee phone was brought about
 All of these inventions and improve rnents have been attended with certain increases of hazard on the score of fire. No matter how safely building may be constructed, a fire is quite apt ! to cause serious loss. MT Woodbury points out that, when nearly half a century ago the so-called Crystal Pa lace, which stood in the park near the old stone reservoir, on the corner of Forty-second street and Fifth avenue in New York city, was destroyed by fire, the dramage to the granite reser- voir by the fire was over S50,O00, al- though one might suppose that this. would be something from which loss could not be suffered, consisting as it did of granite and water.
 Nine years ago the representatives of the various electric companies, the electrical inspectors of the principal American cities and the representives of the various leading nre insurance associations met in national conference in New York city for the purpose of preparing code en4bodying specified tions covering the conditions ofsafety in a manner which should be equitable to all interests involved. The result of this conference was the drafting of the national electric code which is now in general, it might be said universal, use throughout the United States. The na- tional board of fire underwriters main- tains at Chicago a testing laboratory which contains the necessary facilities IliG required in the study of matters per- taining to the electrical fire hazard. There the supplies and subsidiary de- vices of commercial electricity are put to their proper test, the findings made receiving their embodiment as addi- tional features in the national elec- trical code.
 The quarterly reports issued by the laboratory contains lists of fires occurr- ing all over the country caused by electricity, with the deviations made from code rules which are supposed to have led to the trouble, thus gradually bringing about & collection of exact scientific data which cannot fail in. the long run to furnish reasons for safe and adequate regulations and protes- ton. MT. Woodbury asserts: "The re- suits show beyond peradventure that the electric fire hazard tis less than. that of the other methods of lighting and power transmission while, every telephone being fire alarm, the signal-5 ing systems are potent clements in the reduction of fire losses.

Fitzsimmons and his company scored such D success at the Hyperian last September that MT. BunnelI, who is ever on the alert to secure successful plays, secured Fitzsinmons for a return date here at the New Haven theater. The piece, 2 comedy drama, tells of a marriage of Vivian Ellington, only daughter of the wealthy New York banker, to Robert Fitzsimmons, the pugilist, and is sensational and inter- estiIlg. Lankey Bob has surrounded himself with an unusually strong cast which includes Julia May Clifford, the dainty singer, who was last season prir1a donna of the When Johnny Comes Marching Home company.

BRISTOL FEVER PATIENT.

Inoculated With Diphtheria Anti Toxin
 Hopeful Results.
 Bristol, Dec. 2s Mary Dietrich, the spotted fever patient upon whom the experiment of inoculation with diphthe- ria anti-toxin has been made, as a last resort to save her life, is much improv- ed to-day over her condition of last night, according to the morning report of Dr. Deichman, the attending plysi- clan.
 The doctors examination showed that the patients temperature was a frac- tion loWer that the respiration was as good as could be hoped for, that the paralysis which had been evident when the fever reached its height, has en- tirely disappeared and that the patient was conscious. Dr. Deichman is un- able to tell how much pus has formed or whether the anti-toxin is able to re- pair the ravages inflicted by the dis ease. The heart action is depressed.
 This afternoon 8 further use of 5000 units of the serum will be made.
 Late this afternoon a further examin- ation of the patient was made by pr. Diechman, who stated that the condi- tions were not as encouraging as they were earlier in the day, but that he believed that she would pull through. It was expected that 5000 units of the serum would be administered, but on account of the condition of the girl he used only 300
 One more case of spotted fever was reported tonight, the victim being the young daughter of Michael Green. The case is not a serious one.
