Hemingray Glass Company - Muncie, Indiana

Situation at Muncie.

MUNCIE, IND., Sept. 10.   —   The situation in this city while not the brightest, is greatly improved and indications point to a general resumption in the glass and iron industries in the near future. Hemingray is running his flint house principally on large globes, lamps, and other miscellaneous ware, and his tank on insulators. In the green trade the Nelson factory has made no effort to resume and the prospects at that factory are not very encouraging. Everything is in readiness at the Port and it is but a question of a short time when they shall begin operations.

At Ball Bros.' works, the large Dixon tank, 12 rings, and the Modes tank, nine rings, have fire in and will be able to go to work at a moment's notice. The new tank (or third) is expected to be ready by October 1.

The Over window glass works commenced operations Sept. 6, and Maring, Hart & Co. will resume shortly according to reports that reached your correspondent's ear last evening.

Labor day was duly observed in this city, the Retail Clerk's Union giving a day's outing at the Fair grounds, which was largely attended and was quite successful from a financial as well as social point of view.

Among the latest arrivals in the city are Wm. and David McFadden, Sam Ross, Frank Duffield, and Harry Jenkins.

President Jos. D. Troth, while here, made a very good impression and the men were unanimous in their praise of him. That he may rule as long and successfully as his predecessor, Louis Arrington, is the fervent wish of   —   I. McCORKER.
