FACTORY PROPOSITION DEAD.

Lack of Interest in the Matter Responsible. It is safe to say that the proposition to secure a factory in Rensselaer is dead, having “died a hornin’ ” Aainoted last week a counter proposition to give the factory people SIO,OOO Instead Of $15,000 to locate here was made, and pending their answer, the work of soliciting subscriptions stopped. The latter part of the week the factory people accepted the SIO,OOO offer, but the enthusiasm, which had been at a low ebb from the start, bad, by that time, entirely disappeared, and nothing ftirther has been done in the matter, nor is there likely to be, and Rensselaer will have to peg along in the old rut yet awhile.
