RUM0R OF NEW INDUSTRIES

EnsIey, June 17.-(Special.) -This was
general pay day with the Industries of
Ensley and the mines of the Pratt divi-
sion The uninterrupted activity of the
industries during the past month made
the pay day an unusually heavy one, and
the merchants and business men of the
city had splendid trade this afternoon
and tonight.
Friday was not only a record-breaking
day with furnaces, No. 6 turning out 4O4
tons of pig iron, but the output of the
mines of the Pratt division was greatly
in excess of any days record since June,
1904
The industries paying off today were
the steel works, the Empire Plow works,
the coal fnines Semet-solvay, the Barrett
Manufacturing company, the railroad
companies, the Raible cooperage conf
pany. the sheperd Lumber company and
a number of smaller plants.
The Tennessee company is equipping its
mines with a complete electrical haulase
system and telephone system. The cleo
trio cars were first operated in No.
mines and after a few weeks expert
ment they proved such a gratifying sue
cess that the company has begun the in
stallation of the systems in several other
mines. namely Nos. A, and 8.
The mines are increasing their forces
every day, and from the present indica-
ton the output will shortly be material
ly larger than 1T was before the strike.
1t is currently rumored and the ru-
mors are tracable to a reliable source,
that the Steel City is shortly to have
three or four additional industries. These
plants Will manufacture finished products
and greatly augment the army of work
men and the payrolls of the Ensley in
dustries.
The announcement of the industries and
their location will be forthcoming in the
next few days.
Pleased With Site.
The action of the mass meeting of citi-
zens last night in deciding upon the site
at the corner of Avenue II and Eigh.
teenth street as the location for. the Car
negie library, appears to nave met with
the general approval of the people OF the
city. While many wished TO see the library
nearer the center of the town, they all
agreed that at the present time the ac-
ton of the mass meeting was the only
practical step.
1t was noted last night that Col w
w. Shortridge and Others who fought the
proposition came over before the adjourn
ment of the meeting and contributed lib
orally to the fund to furnish and equip
the building.
Assistant District Attorney w. II.
Standifer, who resides In this city, led the
fight to bring the two opposing factions
together and it was through his efforts
mainly that the matter was satisfac
torly settled.
Up to date nef.rly $1,000 have been raised
TO equip the library and the indications
are that this sum will be doubled in
the next few days.
Those who have subscribed to the fund
are as follows:
Cunningham & Son, 500; M. II. Sher-
nan, $780, J. w. Minor, $780, N. w.

Through tho persistent efforts Of the

we'll established as a chautauqua city,
and as the name is considered all over
the land as Synonymous with that of

a sense OF satisfaction at being re-
garded as a city OF the class we are
thus placed in before the land
The diversified program cannot help

sire wholesome entertainment, and
