A new anrl more powerful boiler has
.been put in the Clinton woolen mills.
A. L. Noble,the* clothier, will make
extensive improvements in his store.
An effort is heing made to establish
another furniture factory at Ann Arbor.
^ Exhibits of the cotton and sugarcane
industries of the south will be made at
the County fair.
Ann Arbor's street railway will cost
§85,000. 'Twill take many a nickel
fare to cover the outlay.
The Argus says that the peach 3rop
in that vicinity is estimated at 12,000
bushels. They represent quite a fortune.
Thieves are getting cruite common in
Ann Arbor. Two pairs Qf shoes were
last week stolen from the shopof apoor
shoemaker.
It took 24,212,658 gallons of water,and
no telling how much of something else,
to keep Ypsilanti wet down during the
month of July.
Thieves made a sneak on the money
till at the Milan depot while the agent
was out one evening last week, and secured §21 for their pains.
Clinton milkmen have advanced the
price of milk one cent per quart, on
account of the drouth. Wells must
be getting terrible dry up that way.
The Chelsea Standard says the Stock-
bridge races-were not a success financially, and the stockholders will be
obliged to go down in their pockets to
even up matters.
And now Ypsilanti talks street railway again and has the promise of oue
in operation by December 1st. It's
nip and tuck between Ypsi. and Ann
Arbor, though the latter city seems
bound to keep the lead.
Chas. Brausdale lolled a rattlesnake
on Lon Mills' marsh, Saturday, which
had eleven rattles. A post mortem revealed nineteen young snakes, averaging six inches in length.—Clinton
Local.   A very good snake story.
Ypsilanti capitalists, with a capital
of $75,000 have organized a company
to build water-works at Iron Mountain,
this state. F. A. Todd is president,
B.C. Batchelder, Vice Pres., D. L.
Quirk,'Treasurer, B. W. Hemphill,
Sec. Tbe works is to be completed
within four months.
The Ann Arbor street railway company has struck a snag, an injunction
having been issued upon, the prayer of,
AlfredHolmes,restraining the company
from building, their i;oad on Forest avenue. Mr. Holmes thinks the street too
narrow and believes it Would be a damage to the property, on the street.    * ^
The Ypsilanti Sentinel in refering to
the C. T. Harris affair at that city,says:
*No developments in 'the trouble, by
which the business of C: T. Harris &
Co. has been:-closed, have been made
since last week. Nothing has been
heard of Harris or Banks, and aside
from the piling up of §9,000 in liabilities, there is nothing to be said.
Begister: Tie new §100 banner which
was recently awarded to the Arbor Tent
K. O. T. M. has been received. It is a
beauty. On a background of blue are
printed the insignia of the society, with
the Latin words, "Astra castra, numen
lumen," Golden fringe and tassles
form a pretty border. The Maccabees
ar-e justly proud of their new "banner.
It.would seem that the "white caps,'
or some one assuming to act in their
stead, are now visiting, or about to visit
Ann Arbor, for at least ono person, we

This morning Sheriff Dwyer noticed

passed the prisoners their meals was

Milan Murmurings.
Reed's   position   is. daily
growing more difficult.   In. addition to
the democratic antagonism which of
course he expected and has discounted,
there is a rapidly growing discontent
among  the republican members" who
are interested in public building and
other bills carrying appropriations,none
of which Mr. Beed proposes shall pass
the house at this session.   There has
been several secret consultations held
by the republican members affected by
this decision of the Speaker, > and it is
said that they have determined to revolt as soon as an opportunity occurs,
and pass their bills 'in  spite  of the
Speaker.   One such revolt has taken
place this session, and it was successfully carried through by Representative Payson, of Illinois, who was sustained by the. house in antagonizing
the committee on rules aud its program
and in taking up and passing the land
grant forfeiture bill.   However these
gentlemen will find Mr. Reed a hard
man to "down."   He comes nearer having his own way than any other man
who ever filled the position of Speaker
of the House, and if I was going to bet
I should back the big man from Maine.
Mr. Blaine did not return to Washington with  Mr. Harrison as it was
thought he would, and again the air is
Charged with all sorts of wild rumors
about disagreements between them and
the stand that Mr. Harrison will take
in his forthcoming message on reciprocity.    These  rumors will probably
continue until the message is sent to
congress; but I have no hesitation  in
predicting that Mr. Harrison and his
Secretary of State will stand or fall to-,
getber, and that the message sent to
congress   will  represent  their   joint
views.   Mr. Harrison needs Mr. Blaine
in his official family, and he  is too
shrewd a politician to quarrel with him.
After a week devoted to the consideration of the tariff bill, the only remarkable incidents of which were the
declarations  of  independence on the
part of Senators Plumb and Teller, in
which they stated plainly that they did
not intend being bound by party caucuses, the senate to-day took up the
River and Harbor bill.
The house has been at work all the
week on the fag ends of the appropriation bills and conference reports although the committee on Elections has
been ready and anxious to -have the
house act* upon several reports they
have made unseating-democratic mem-
,bers. . .       -
If congress does not provide for- a
' new Government printing office building at this session somebody Will have
assumed a fearful responsibility. . More
than   2,000   people work in that 'old
building, breatTiing poisoned" and disease-breeding air, and in constant danger by accident oi* fire."   Fancy eighty
human beings working in a room 18x70
feej, where for days at a time the thermometer registers 95 degrees of heat!
That's what eighty women do in "the
bindery of that building.     Think   of
working pn or under  a floor   which
when heavily loaded sags three inches!
That's what hundreds of men and women do every day of their lives in the
document room and the room beneath
it.   Think  of working in a. building
with cracks in its walls big enough to
put your whole hand in thear,  with
floors swaying and walls vibrating from
the motion of the^machineryjand which
you know has been, pronounced by .competent architects to be iu a dangerous
condition!    That's   what   more than
2,000 human beings are doing every
day, and congress refuses to make an
appropriation to provide a safe place
for these people to do the Government
work.   It is a shame and a disgrace
that such should be the-fact but it is
all the same.
Mr. Harrison expects, to leave tomorrow for New York, where he will
take the cruiser "Baltimore," which
will carry him to Boston, where he goes
to take part in the G. A. R. annual, encampment, j
The tiresome investigation of the
Civil Service Commission hits been resumed. The house committee seem to
bo as tired of it as the public.
The republicans have succeeded in
getting almost a quorum of "their "own
members.in town; but the members
obeyed the telegraph summons to come
very reluctantly, and more than one of
them, if kept here long, will pay, as a
penalty for obediunee to tho party
leaders, bis Sia-t in the next house..
