Great Bargains.

Dr. J. H. Loughridge. Geo. M. Robinson and ,1. R. Eight were at Momence Tuesday. They report that 400 workmen are engaged in taking out the lodge of rock in the Kankakee river and that the work will be completed this fall. No drilling is required to loosen the rock, crow bars only being used. The rock is of a tine quality and of much better quality that that found in the Iroquois at Rensselaer. Penningtou. the head man of the central Indiana Electric Railroad, has lied from Noblesville, and the brilliant scheme to connect the gas towns by an electric railroad is to be abandoned. Itjappears that of a capital stock of $;),000,000, not a cent has been paid in by the stockholders, and but $6,000 of this amount has been subscribed.
