John Grundner of Bushwick dies (Brookfield)

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Sept. 17. — There are as yet few signs of improvement in the condition of trade in this locality, but the factories at work are kept constantly employed. The chimney department is not so brisk as it was at the start and there is considerable stock accumulating. Gleason resumed work Monday after a weeks idleness on account of an accident in the furnace. Hibbler & Co. have given their head castor place shop notice to quit on account of having no call for the work. Storms' place has been doing well this fire and if trade takes a turn and improves any we may hope to see it running as busily as ever. Mortimer Brennan, one of our practical flint workers, is acting as foreman and manager. The Ravenwood Art works is running full. This is one of the best places in the city to work. John J. Harvey, who was until last fire, of Millville, is now working there and some of the finest shade workers in the country are employed there. Michael Murphy, who had been employed for a long time at Thill's is also working there . . . [illegible text] . . . Demuth's place is doing well also. The employees there intend to run a chowder party in a short time and are making great preparations for the event. John Grundner, whose death occurred recently, had been employed by the Bushwick glass works for a long time. Bro. Henry Clause, last employed at Thill's, has also passed away, both deaths causing much regret here.
