The General Dullness Intensified by the •roach of the Summer Holiday Sea-

NEW YORK, N. Y., July 4.—The approach of the midsummer holiday season has intensified the general dullness in the trade circles.

LOCAL INDUSTRIES,

The Nail Works.

It was rumored several -days age that the puddling department of the Nail woiks would resume operations next Friday or Saturday and the finishing department and factories would resume the following Monday morning. A member of the firm was asked in regard to the matter and replied that there was no foundation for the rumor. The company can see its way no more clearly now than some time ago. The demand for naifs continues exceedingly ligljtand there are still quite a large number of. nailB on hand. Some kinds, however, have been sold off and there are none to supply the demand. It would require only a very short time to replenish the supply. Even in case the works start they will run very light on account of the weather. The signing of both the Amalgamated association's and nailer's scale, has long since ceased to be a Actor in the resumption of operations. Were the demand such that nails, if manufactured, would find a sale, the company would sign the scale and the works would resume. The old employes of the mill are nearly all here, and are hopfiil. that work will be.secured some time soon.

The Floor Mills.

The production of flour in this city for the past week was not as large as last week, owing to a large extent to the idleness of the Avenue mills, which have of late been running more regularly than almost any of the others. At the Avenue mills the new 350-horse power engine is being put in atid repairs and improvements made. The new rolls will be put some time this week. Work on the mill is being pushed as rapidly as possible, and it will be ready for operation in a short time. The Wabash mills ran day run up to Thursday, when running double turn was commenced and continued throughout the week. It is probable that the mill will run night and day this week. On Thursday, during a period of two hours, 253 bushels of wheat were ground. McKeen's mill is still idle. Conant & Son's mill ran day and turned out about fifty batrels per day. Paddock's mill was in operation during the week, day run, Jenckes & Mering turned out their usual amount of flour. Hudnut's hominy mill turned out 600 barrels daily, running day and night, and will continue so this week. Newhart's hominy mill is still idle. Deaner & Fisher's feed mills are running part time. a The Brazil Mill.

The Brazil rolling mill is in operation also the blast furnace located at that point. The mill has eight puddling furnaces. Only four of these are running, as this number furnishes sufficient iron to supply the trade. The mill resumed week before last. The puddlers and company disagreed on the question of wages, and the former refused to work at the terms offered by the company. The strike was of short duration and resulted in a defeat^for the men. They agreed to go to work for $4.50 per ton, believing that it was to their interest to do so, as the difference in wages would fully be made up in steadier work. Nearly all evidence of the recent explosion has disappeared. Repairs have been made and the mill restored to its former condition.

Wabash Mill Resumes*

The bar and guide mill of the Wabash rolling mill resume to-morrow after a number of week's idleness. It was in tended to start these departments laxt Thursday bat the force of roll hands was on an extended fishing excursion and could not be found. They returned Friday, however, and put in a new train of rolls, The other departments of the mill will .remain idle for the- time being. An Express reporter asked a member of the firm if the mill would continue in operation for any length of time. He replied that he could not tell, but did not think it will. Some kinds of iron \n stock have run short, and it is principally to replace these that the mill resumes. The demand is exceedingly flat and has not shown the least sign of improvement. The situation is not any too bright.

The Distillery

The distillery will close, down this week. Repairs will be made and additional machinery put in. For the past month it has been running at a capacity of 600 bushels per day, but on Wednesday last started up at an increased capacity of 1,000 bushels. One hundred and seventy-five barrels of spirits were shipped Thursday. The compounding house is being fitted out with anew floor, The office will also be repaired. It is not as yet definitely known when the distillery will resume operations.

Other News Notes.

The Phoenix foundry reports being busy with Work. Jeffers' woolen mill continues in operation and is turning out large quantities of goods.

The Close paper mill was in steady operation all last week, and the production was large.

Clift & Son's boiler works have been idle for several days on account of running out of maferial.

The Eagle iron works are doing considerable business and have quite a large force of men employed.

I. M. Darnell & Son have laid the foundation for a new planing mill on Sixth-and-a-half near tie I. & St. L, railroad.

In conversation with a builder, it was stated that the small alnount of building this season was a surprise to him, for when the season opened he thought «he reverse would be the case. BaiMing material and labor have been very cheap rail

but people did not seem to avail them selves of the opportunity to bnild under very favorable circumstances.

The Prominent Questions Before the Annual Convention of the B. of F.

Grand Master Frank W. Arnold, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, returned several days ago from a trip east* He attended a union meeting of the brotherhood in Boston, which was very largely attended. Oa his return home he stopped at Columbus, Ohio, and held another large union meeting. An Express reporter yesterday ^fpgaged Mr- Arnold in conversation in regard to the alfairsof the brotherhood. He said the present year has been a very prosperous one, and the result highly -gratifying, The membership has greatly increased. Mr. Sam. Stevens, grand organizer, has recently founded lodges at Richmond and Clifton Forge, Virginia, those already mentioned in these columns. The present membership is a little less than 15,000. The twelfth annual convention of the brotherhood will be held in Philadelphia, beginning Monday, September 21. Each lodge will elect a delegate to the convention. An amendment recently passed to the constitution disallows the selection of any officer of the grand lodge as a delegate. The lodge in this city will, therefore, send a delegate, and Mi. Arnold, Mr. Debs and Mr. Stevens will also attend.

In speaking of matters that are to come before the convention, Mr. Arnold said he thought some plan would be devised by which the representation in the annual convention would be reduced. There being 270 lodges, and each lodge iwnHing a delegate, the convention is a large -one. JThe delegates are under heavy expense and lose considerable valuable time and money A lesser number of delegates could transact the business and equally as well. It is probable that the lodges will be districted and so many delegates allowed to each district.

The convention* will probably take some action in regard to the establishment of grievance committees. It is proposed that such a committee be appointed. for each road. For instance take the Vandalia. The lodge in this city would appoint a committee consisting of three persons. Should any trouble or disagreement of any kind arise between the company and men the duty of the committee would be to confer with the officials and reach a settlement by arbitration if possible. The local grievance committees, those for each railroad, would elect members of a higher or grand committee, whose jurisdiction would extend over the entire coup try. Tfie organization of this committee would be left to its members. The purpose of the higher committee would be in case of general trouble. The object ef these committees is for the more systematic judicature and adjustment of difficulties. The Brotherhood of Locomotive

Engineers has a system from which that

of the B. of L. F. is to be modelled. The question of strikes will probably also come up before the convention. The brotherhood does not, according to its present by-laws, sanction strikes. There may be some change made in the reading of the clause relating to strikes. "I don mean to say," said Mr. Arnold, "that the brotherhood is to be changed from a non-striking to a striking organization.'7 The recent disturbance on the Missouri Pacific, the Gould system, has caused considerable trouble, on account of a self-appointed committee signing a contract with the company relating to and affecting both engineers and fitemin. The grand lodge does not sanction the contract. As soon as practicable, some time in July, a union meeting of the lodges on the Gould lines will be called at some Centrally-located point, and the contract will come before the meeting. The false representation by which the contract was made is suffcient to prove its illegality. The brotherhood intends taking steps to set aside the con tract, as it was wholly unauthorized on the-part of the brotherhood. The brotherhood does not assume to dictate in regard to individual action but will not allow individuals to dictate to it. The objectionable part of the contract is a clause which states when an engineer is discharged, his place must be filled by. fireman. Should the company desire to re-employ him, he could not become an'engineer, but would have to spend four or five years firing until there was' a vacancy for an engineer. A discharge from *one road is .equivalent to a discharge from all in the Gould system. At the B. of L. F. union meetinr rcBantly held in St. Louis the gram lodge gave audience to a committee of B. of L. E. members, who pointed out the injustice of the contracts A very friendly feeling has always been entertained between toe engineers and firemen, and it is best that it' should be perpetuated. The matter was brought before the union meeting, and the unanimous opinion was that the contract was illegal and unjtist. The grand lodge will call a onion meeting for the purpose of taking action upon the contract The

result is awaited with

much interest.

A Washington Landmark Gone The old capitol, writes the Washington correspondence of the New York Herald, is a thing of the past. The building has been transformed into three private residences. An army officer occupies one and a justice of the United States Supreme court another. The old capitol was built in four months and cost $30,000. On the Fourth of July of the year 1815 there was a crop growing on the ground where on Monday, December _4,of the same year congress met The British destroyed the capitol in 1814. They also partially destroyed the White House on the same day, August 24. The followir congress met at Blodgett's hotel, whi was located on the present site of the postoffice departn*nt building. After the capitol building had been rebuilt the temporary, or as it has ever since been known as the old, capitol was turned into boarding houses. They were moat patronized by southern congressmen John C. Calhoun died in one of them.

Anne Royal, who was the originator of the American system of interviewing, had her office in one of them for a number of years. She published two weekly papers —one, Paul Pry, and afterward Huntress. Anne Royal had an assistant named Sally Brass. They both had the reputation of being blackmailers. They forced hundreds to subscribe by threatening that if they did not the Paul Pry or Huntress would print some scandals about them. In those days, according to Anne Royal, female lobbyists "wore sconped hats and long veils." They dresB differently now. lb 1829 Anne Royal was indicted for being a common scold. She died in 1854, aged 92. Sally Brass preceded her about ten years. Anne Royal was the widow of a revolutionary officer. She was of Irish descent and was born in Maryland.

James Monroe was inaugurated president in front of the old capitol in 1817.

The capitol was first occupied in low. It was bnilt oif Virginia sandstone which was quarried near Afcquia creek. The White House was built, of the same quarry. Neither the capitol nor execu-

PASSING &HAHOW8.

Several years ago I was returning to my western home after^a summer spent in the east doing the watering places. A friend was accompanying me, and as we were lounging in a slpeper ,we bpth dropped off into reverie.

The train was slowing up to a small country resort. I raised my window and looked out. On the platform at the station I saw three young girls, accompanied by an escort they were laughing mirthfully over the attempt of one of the girls te climb up on a barrel standing on end under the cornice of the station. The sun was shining gloriously, but a little shower h»d driven the party beneath the cornice 'or protection.

At last this young girl gained her footing, and stood victoriously on the barrel then glancing into the cars, she evidently saw the amusement she had provoked for a slight shade of crimson flashed into her cheeks. This young lass, with her peach-blossom visage, somehow drew my eager attention, and, although I looked on her for only a minute at most, thought her an angel. She was clad in some white, creamy substance which fell about her graceful forin. I grew enthusiastic and tried to find her eyes they were flashing here and therein her wild mirth seeming to outdo in brightness the glisten ing shower which fell between us. But at last in their rapid coursc they met mipft, and I fell desperately in love with their dwner. But the train was off again and the vision gone.

After we had-passed out of view I fell back My friend "Not a bad looking girl a

I suppose I said no to this exclamation but if I did it was mechanical^ fori was not in his world then.

We reached my home. Duke remained my guest for a few days and then re turned to his post in the east, for he was an officer in the navy. I took up my routine duties of commercial life once more, and in a short time all remembrance of the maiden or the barrel had1 passed away to memory's graveyard.

Three, years elapsed and again was going to try the east for a month in the winter to get a change, which I needed after very close attention to business, to I wrote to my friend Duke, at Washington, that I was coming on to eat his salt for awhile.

During our various rounds in that gay capital we were one evening at a Mr. S—-'s house at a reception. I moved through the assembled throng of men and women. They were of all nationalities, brought together in that cosmopolitan pl£ce.

After a while I sought the conservatory, where I whiled away the time eating an ice and chatting with a little French lady. I had not been there long before Duke came sauntering in with gentleman on his arm, whom ne presented to mademoiselle. He remained for moment and gave me a look which meant, "Come with me!" and, with an apology to mademoiselle, I took his arm and walked off. "What do you mean, Duke," I said, "by rushing a fellow away in this manner from a bewitching creature like inademoiseile? Have you something so Very important on hand "Yes," my boy," he said. "Come with me, ana I guarantee that what I give you in exchange will prove equally as captivating to youir susceptible heart I' got a settler for you 1"

He led me through several rooms, and finally stopped within a* very dimly lighted apartment The object _of his search was at the farther end of this room in a bay-window that was raised, letting the moonbeams fall across a rich carpet, and half within the shadow I saw woman sitting a man was leaning in the partial darkness at the back of her chair.

with She was not a stranger to me. Oh, no She was one of those beings we dream of and learn to know and love before we meet them in the flesh.

She sat theie as she talked, toying with some roses on her corsage, when one of the delicate buds fell from the bunch resting there and rolled to my feet As picked it up she leaned that perfect head uiifo the light, and, bending over, asked for the truant rose.

I did not give it to her, but sat. there gazing into that beautiful face, through those eves into her very soul, and in'that glance I knew that before me sat the woman I -had learned to love the one other time our eyes had met I Finally became more composed and^ stammered out something about memories in which she had taken part

She answered that somewhere before, in a dream or somewhere else, she had seen mv face—had known it well.

Then I told her the story of the maiden on the barrel and the man on the train, Her face lighted up she sighed, and thought it was a sigh of love for that long time ago—that moment in the past

All sorts of fancies were running through my brain,. when from out the darkness at her back stepped a man, who said: "Ah, my dear^ do yon not think it time we were going to 's?"

She arose and presented me, in that beautiful voice that seemed a part of the moonlight, to her husband, and then, with an au revoir, was gone. 1 found the rose in my hand and kissed it It was sacred in my eyes, for it was all that was left of my romantic but vain dream of love.

Hie absence of ornaments was specially noticed, and this seemed to suit the occasion: so much more'than the tiaraB aiid blaze of diamonds which of late have been added tb a bride's toilet. Lady Leslie herself looked graceful and youthful, and the group bridesmaids in their quaintly tioned chesses and cottage'hati, carrying sprays of tall lilies instead of bouquets, was simply bewitching.

... Wall Street:Guzzling. In no part of the world is drinking carried to such excess as in Wall street. The saloons in the vicinity of the stock exchange pay the highest rents known in the liquor trade, and still make money. Few Drokera get through the 'day without* several drinks, ana then just as sure as any "movement" takes place the xtations are doubled. Tlie saloonkeepers, indeed, id ways know when there is a flurry in the market, since the brokers need more stimulus, and on Black Friday extra help was wanted. The rule is, when there's a panic double your bartenders. Broken, under such circumstances enerally take their drinks "straight,' Jor they have no time for mixing. Whisky is commenly used, and it does its work effectually, for in many instances the brokers have to be sent home in carriages. I know one of this class who drank so heavily that, oh reaching home, a physician' was generally required, the constant danger being epilepsy. The unfortunate man escaped this terrible cbnse^uence, but it was only by committing suicide.

Modjeska.

Mme. Modjeska has just completed an engagement in Dublin, where she was called and tecalled after the curtain fell on the last act of Heartsease^ until she satisfied her admirers by delivering a short address. Speaking, apparently without preparation or deliberate intention, she disclaimed the. idea that their cheers were due merely to her "poor artistic merits." "I know," she exclaimed, "that the largest share of the cordiality with which you greet me is due to your sympathy for my dear Poland a country so akin to your own "in her misfortunes, her oppressions, and her hopes of undying prayers for liberty." It needless to say that this talk excited the Dublin mob to the utmost. The actiess was conducted to her hotel by a great crowd, headed by the "John Dillon Band," and there she received a patriotic deputation, headed by Mr. Wm. Bed' mond, M. P. The London papers say that she will have to elect whether she is an actress or a politician before appearing again in England. iVS fir

This old gentleman, who looks about eighty years of age, is wonderfully like George IV. and still wears the costume of that, period. He says, with sincere conviction and^the greatest calmness to anybody who will listen to Mm, that as Duke of Gloucester he ought to have succeeded William IV., but that out of deference and gallantry he has ceded his rights to Queen Victoria. Every year on the queen's birthday he goes to Windsor, and some one belonging to the castle gives him a dinner in the best hotel of the place, where he' drinks to the health of her majesty with a gravity that is at once comical and touching.
