Interesting Notes From These Factories.

Muncie, Ind., Nov. 19. - The gas producer on tank No. 2 at Ball Bros., is ready for the match, as all are the tanks but the white liner, which will be run by natural gas until it burns out. This season will wind it up. The Hart window factory is running with silver clear with some good places idle. Hemingrays are running on a general line of insulators and globes. Humphreys are also running on a general line of bottles with good glass.

Tank No. 1, Ball Bros., has fire in and will be ready to start in about 10 days or two weeks.

R. C. Burns is the proud owner of a gas meter, and every night about 12 o'clock you can see him with a candle on a chair watching it. He is teaching P. J. McIntyre how to read the meter. Burns says he will see Jas. Olwell and Frank Lafferty going up back alleys some of these days for one of these treasured things.

The C. R. & M. Railroad will soon be completed to Ball Bros., making three roads running into this place and forming one of the finest plants for shipping facilities in the west. The large producer is moving along nicely and will soon be ready.

This firm is turning out a fine line of bottles on their flint tank in factory No. 1, also, some nice jellies.

Herb Young, John Murphy, Joe Haughey, and Hugh Collins are pressing bottle covers on the flint tank. Luke Otis is the latest arrival from Philadelphia. He brought the good news that the warrior bold had returned to Philadelphia after a four year's absence.

The white liner tank at Ball Bros. is running full with 17 shops and plenty of good glass. This is one more shop than they had last season.

Mike Flaherty and Lizzie Hardie, both employed at Ball Bros., were married Wednesday night. They went to housekeeping on Walnut street. May they live long and happy is the wish of their many friends.

Michael Kerrighan, the special officer at West Side, has taken his star off for the season.

Ed Conroy has returned from Matthews, Ind. - Liner.
