The La Grange Iron Works,
a corporation doing business in
Stewart county, Tennessee, own
about forty thousand acres of
land on which are erected their
blast furnaces, to-wit: Eclipse,
Clark, and La Grange. The first
named is dismantled and has
been standing still for several
years. The two last named are
in successful operation. The
two furnaces, Clark and La
Grange, are but one mile apart,
and the nearest one, one and
one-fourth mile from Tennessee
River. Both furnaces make about
six thousand tons annually
of first quality, No. l Foundry
and Mill iron. They are both
in the hands of experienced
furnacomen; Clark now being
handled by Mr.. WIN. REED, of
your county. He had done
we'll and his success stamps
him as one of the best furnace
men of our country. The sup
ply of timber and ore for these
furnaces is simply inexhausti-

one solid mass of ore and you
have an idea Of a Tennessee ore
bank. We have one bank
here-Clark Furnace bank
which has a face Of about one
hundred and fifty feet in length
by an average of thirty feet in
in heighth. In it we work


from twenty to fifty men, and
from three to five carts. We
have now erected near it a fine
ore washer to which is hauled
all the fine ores, where it goes
through process of washing
and comes out entirely clear of
dirt. The capacity of the wash
ing machine is seventy-five to
eighty tons per day. The. La
Grange Furnace has a bank
similar to that of Clark, near
which a washer will be erected
soon. Both furnaces employ
from three TO five hundred men
and from twenty-five to forty
teams, and the benefit accru-
ing to the citizens here by rea-
son of these works is very
great. This not an agricultural
country, but is pretty we'll

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10, 1873.


In the United states Court to-day in the bank
ruptcy case OF Messrs Jay Cooke Il Co., Mr.. Price,
who last Wednesday indicated his intention OF
coming into Court this morning, and asking for an
injunction TO restrain defendants from disposing
OF any OF their assets in any otner manner than
such as might be directed by the Court, and also
for the appointment of a receiver, announced that
during the intervening week his client had ceased
to have any interest in the case.


Charles Downing then presented the petition OF
asking leave to intervene.


Judge Cadwaader said the petition would be
allowed, and MIR. Downing could use his own dis
cretion as to whether he would make personal SER
vice OF the order or come in next week, under the
steps that had already been taken, and see II he
would not be entitled to adjudication under them.
He thought this case was very simple one, though
misunderstood by the Bar. II any mistakes had
hitherto been made 1t was easy TO correct them
by personal service because the residences OF the
defendants were known, ana personal service was
a possible thing. He thought personal service
would be sufficient, though he did not wish to seem
to prejudge the question until II arose regularly
before him; but he was not sure that service by
publication would suffice because the residences OF
the defendants were known. If Mr. Downing
should ask an injunction to restrain the defend.
ants from proceeding under their paper OF October
/ he would grant 1t.


Mr.. Downing said he would consult his client and
consider the matter.
