PA3KT8 FACTORY.

Work on tbe Hew ftitMing to Bcgla in a Short Time—Another Cold ftlora«E HOQM to be

Erected.

As long as the bmwny son of toil labors in the machine shop, the mill and factory, on railroads, canal or public highway, in the mines or here and there over the earth's broad expanse whatever the avocation from which he derives his portion of life's sustenance, just so long will the grime of his labor settle upon him like a distinction of his work and whenever or wherever the great army of bread winners may, in the various avenues of labor, be found toiling there, in the very great majority of instances will be discovered the palpable evidence that most laboring men possess to a greater or less #e$«ee^|tiat very worthy characteristic— a peculiarly American characteristic—a regard for personal cleanliness.

The most marked evidence of this is that the average mechanic or day laborer is generally disco vered^with his clothing protected from the stain of oil, the disfigurement of dost and dirt, by those homely but very useful garments, the smock frock and overalls. In this country, at least, it is safe to say that thereat laboring element, constituting the bone and sinew of the land, the very bulwark of our untrammeled government, comprises within its ranks not less than 65 per cent, of our entire population, and it is jest as safe to assert that more than two-thirds of these brave hearts wear overalls when engaged in their daily toil. This, one can readily understand, creates an enor mous market throughout all America for this class of clothing, requiring millions of bus employes and buzzing machines, constantly engaged In the arduous, work of proportioning the supply to the demand. *$4%,

Here in Terre Haute thi# |^git industry, recently described in detail in the columns"5f

THE NEWS,

has long flourish

ed and developed until five large factories employing many industrious women and consuming, daily, tons upon tons of material can scarcely fill their orders. Among these establishments there is not one which has attained a greater degree of prosperity in trade or a larger prominence in the community than the "rants Manufacturing Co., whose location is at 644. Not long ago Max Erank, the head of this concern, purchased from Theodore Hulman the ground located Ht the north east corner of Ninth and a half and Ohio streets the same having a frontage of fifty feet with a depth of 116. On Monday, plans and specifications having been prepared and contracts awarded, the work of excavating on this lot will mKm apafi rtf the lot mm. material and

nearly the entire area of the lot and be constructed of "the with the most perfect Workmanship. According to the terms of the contract the structure must be ready for occupancy bv May let, and accordingly the contractor will of necessity keep an immense force of men at work from the time the first tier of brick laid the foundation walls. ..

Into this great building Mr. Frank will move the Pants Manufacturing Company's factory and offices, the latter being located on the first floor ana elegantly equipped. In the rear of the offices will be located the packing and snipping departments. The second floor will probably be devoted to the storage of uncut stock, etc. On the two upper floors will be placed thfe 200 or more machines which Mr. Frank expects to hijvo running regularly byjnot laterj loth It is estimated that tbis enlarged and important industrial establishment will employ in round numbers not ie.8 than 275 people, the larger which will be the women who operate

JEWS.

The United *tntcm Minister to Ra«Hf4» Instructed to Act. WASHINGTON,

D. C., January

—The

state department has finally completed the digest %f the numerous p&ittons which have been received from nearly every state in the union protesting against the treatment of the Jews in Russia, and ^arly next week it will be forwarded to Hon. Charles Emory Smith, the United States minister at St Petersburg, with instruction® to hand it to the Russian* minister Of foreign affiufs. Inasmuch as both the catrand the foreign minister have refused to receive a' petition signed by a hundred or more prominent philanthropists, divines and members of the nobilit} of Kngianri, and also refused to receive a delegation headed by a prominent peer, the reception that will be accorded to the A petition, furnishes food for considerable speculation in diplomatic circles.

It is impossible for ^fes^litious such, Whitfi^" fc^goveraraeifo orindi viuualSjtoreach the czaror theRussian minister for foreign affairs direct. Thl Russian system ol government has what is known as an imperial commission on petitions and this body has full and absolute control hver the disposition oil such documents. Should the American minister at St. Petersburg therefore,- in sist upon his prfeogative of presentinj the American petition direct to the rain ister of foreign affairs, as apart of hi diplomatic duties, a very intetestin. question may be opened up aodhis doc ument may be accorded better treatmen than was the one sent from tbis country Since the return of the English memorial the lord mayor has received a com muni cation stating that the imperial convnis sion% not authorized to present fifuc| memorials to the czar. In other worcw its members dare not do it.

January 31.—News

from Chili is of the most important nature, indicating a probable compromise. President Balmaceda is disposed to withdraw the troops from Santiago on condition that the blockade of Valpariso and Equique shall be raised. This concession is attributed to the strenuous representations of the diplomatic leaders at Santiago against the present condition of things and threats of interference on the part of foreign powers. Balmaceda still refuses to resign and if there is no improvement in the situation by the first of February a conference will be held with the rebels to consider what steps shall be taken. The Chilian archipelago has been blockaded by the rebel fleet, and Anond. has been occupicd by the rebel troops. This give* them a valuable station for coaling and provisioning their fleet.

When all was in readiness a procession lyas formed and moved out of the station. Carriages were provided for all and the cortege, headed by mobnted policemen, moved slowly to. the secretary's late residence, where the family were awaiting its arrival. The bearers carried the remains into the house through a crowd of people, who reverently bared their heads as the casket passed. The president and all of his official family followed the remains into the house and waited in the back parlor while the undertake and his assistants placed the body in the front room and opened the top half of the lid lid so as to expose to view the secretary's familiar features. Mrs. Blaine remained with the president and was the only lady present when the latter and all the mlembers of his cabinet and the others who had accompanied the reus from the station were ushered in raveHSSfe

THE FUNERAL SERVICES.

The Bnrial Will Take Place on Monday at Washington. The time of the funeral will depend upon the arrival of the son, William D.

DAMAGE SUIT FILED.

A Damage Suit Against the C. A E, I Railroad Company, Oscar Hall, a farmer, has brought suit in the superior court, through his attorneys, Davis, Robertson fc jbavis, against the C. & E. I. railroad company for $1,000 damages. He claims that he owned an 18- months old mare which got out on the tracks of the railroad com pan v, because of the poor repair in which the railroad people kept the fences, and was killed. He alleges that by this accident he was damaged in the sum of $1,000, for which amount he prays judgment.

In the circuit court James W. Stevenson sues John Born to abate a nuisance. Stevenson alleges that Born keeps a filthv slaughter house nnd permits blood ancl offal to run from it out onto the ground and that such a pungent odor arises from it that residences in that vicinity are rendered unfit for habitation.

No tribute from lips human could be bestowed in all the warmth of adoration upon a loved friend than can be justly paid to the memory oi Nellie Shannon. She was an affectionate daughter, a fond sister and a faithful, self sacrificing friend. She had not yet even approached the half-turn in life's allotted epan and yet her onef life bad been glorified by a fullness of good works done by innumereble "little deeds of kindness, little words of love," little acts of disin terested and free hearted benevolence 4bit gave her that rare quality of a power to shed the radiance of her presence upon dark places. Her death removes from earth one whose taking off leaves in that circle where she was best known, and sincerely loved, a vacancy which through long vears can never be filled. Her funeral, attended by numerous friends and relatives, occurred this morning from the family residence on south tilth street, the remains being taken to Woodlawn ior interment.
