TO TIIE MAyVfAVTVJtlKO 1XTEH 1XTEH-XSTS - XSTS 1XTEH-XSTS OF SVRIHGPIKI.V. An Intrrestlnc Talk with Sir. K. . Hon The New Shop to Begin Operation in May A Wrong Impression Corrected Description of the Shop Work Begun on the Foundry Springfield the Best l.ocallou In the United States. Mr. E. W. Rcss, who has recently added another large manufactutlng establishment to the manufacturing interests of the Champion City, has returned here from a trip to the East, and will now probably remain here. A reporter of The Globe-Republic met him in the Arcade office last evening, and had a very interesting conversation with the gentle gentleman - man gentleman in regard to the new factory. Mr. Ro-3 said: "The impression seems to prevail in Springfield that I am engaged in the manu manufacture - facture manufacture of paper mill machinery. This is a mistake, although I can readily account for ij. Up to Jast summer we did make paper mill machinery in connection with our other products, consisting of saw mills, barrel ma machinery - chinery machinery and machine knives, and we also did a large business in shafting and gearing. Our feed cutters, however, formed the greater part of our business, and we have, therefore, determined to drop everything except this. We will, in future, confine ourselves exclu exclusively - sively exclusively to the manufacture of feed cutters, and the superiority of our machines is such that the general standard of excellence in Springfield machin machinery - ery machinery is not going to suffer. We will manu manufacture - facture manufacture the ensilage cutters, paper mill straw cutters, feed cntttr3, sorghum and sugar cane cutters. This ensilage system is the process of preserving green feed for winter or dry in the summer, by placing it in air-tight pits, similar to the process of preserving fruit. This system is a matter of great economy to the stock raiser. Two tons of hnjita. gaod yield per acre, but 35 to 40 toniot good fod fodder - der fodder can be raised per acre at a cost varying from 80 tents to $1.20, delivered in the bins or pits. The feed cutter that we manufac manufacture - ture manufacture is the process of cutting dry feed. Wc make a large line of machines, varying in price from $22 to $1,000, and, our largest five sizes are larger than any other machine of the kind made in the world, Our largest ma machine - chine machine is capable of cutting twenty tons of ensilsge per hour. We stand at the head in the cutter business, and do a larger business than any other manufacturer in the same line. One of the special features of the Ros3 cut cutters - ters cutters is that they have the upward cut, while every oth-r machine of the kind in the world uses the downward cnt. Our agencies extend from California to Maine and as far South as Texas, and we have done considerable busi busi-ntss - ntss busi-ntss in the Sandwich Islands, India, Aus Australia - tralia Australia and Japan . We have an extensive ex exhibit - hibit exhibit of a full line of onr machines in run running - ning running order in the New Orleans Expostion in the dairy department. The exhibit covers 1,000 sqjare feet, and is near Ihcvxhibit of the Foos Manufacturing Company. We have furnished fully three-fourths of all the ensi ensilage - lage ensilage cntters that have been sold. "We formerly built the Cummings ma machine - chine machine but when the patents run out 1 invent invented - ed invented the machines which we are now manufact manufacturing. - uring. manufacturing. The first patent on these machines was issued in 1832; a large lumber have been taken out since, and there are others still pending." By reason of changing to this line as an exclusive specialty, the volume of business done by the firm will be considerably dimin diminished - ished diminished in the beginning, but the business will be pushed with all the energy possible. Mr. Ross says he thinks specialty lines are essen essential - tial essential to success, as a man can learn more about one certain thing than several, and he thinks by devoting all his time and attention to it that the business will grow rapidly. The cntter business is a little different from the manufacture of other agricultural imple implements, - ments, implements, in that owing to the great extent of territory and the different climates in the UnitcJ States, the cntters are needid at all times during the year, as in the East, North, West and South, the machines are required in the summer, (all and winter months respect respectively. - ively. respectively. In response to an inquiry as to how he is impressed with his new location, Mr. Ross said : "We spent eighteen months in can canvassing - vassing canvassing the United States for a locatisn, and after all our researches, we came to the con conclusion - clusion conclusion that Springfield is vastly superior to any of the other cities visited. On my visits t the large towns and railroad centers ot the central western states, I found a great deal of vacant manufacturing property that was a drag on the market. In some instances, I wa3 offered the jiroperty for the simple value of the land, and in other instances for the price of the brick. We also had several cash bonus oflers in different cities, but we declined all of these in favor of Springfield: without anything of that sort. We have got enough ot trying to advertise the town in which our shops are lo located - cated located and we know that we will not have to do this here. On the other hand we expect the mere fact of our being located in Spring Springfield - field Springfield to be an advertisement and help to us. Springfield has a world-wide reputation as a manufacturing point for agricultural ma machinery, - chinery, machinery, and this fact alone will be of much benefit to us. We shall bring with us from Fullon a number of onr workmen who are thoroughly conversant with our machines. We have been preparing for removal lor some time and have manufactured a large number of machines ahead to make up for the delay." Men are now at work with dynamite re removing - moving removing the crust from the surface of the earth so as to enable them to begin excavating for tbs new foundry. This building will be 53x03 feet inside, with a wing 25x30, and to stories high. It will be fitted up with a Blakeney cupola. The building will be push pushed - ed pushed to completion as rapidly a3 possible. In the meantime the work of fitting up the main building with new machinery, shafting, A.C, will be carried on, and Mr. Ross thinks all will be in readiness for operation some sometime - time sometime in May. This main building, former formerly - ly formerly the steel works of Whiteley, Fassler k Kelly, is much larger than it looks from the outside. It is 150 feet long by CO feet wide, and six stories high, including the basement. The engine and boiler room is 45x55, and the blacksmith shop 35x55. A large 11C Lorse-power Corliss engine will

Serviss, who lives on the North Side, Factory street extension, came ovtr to the city about noon and made several purchase', carrying her pocket-book in a sttchtl suspended on one arm. Crossing Market street bridge the lady noticed two strange young men sitting idly on the iron railing of the foot-way, and both observed her closely as she passed them, but said nothing. On the return, wib packages in arms, the same pair were waiting at the bridge, and as Mrs. Serviss approached crossed to the side of the bridge she would take. The lady noted Ihe action, but thought, in such a public place and in broad daylight, no barm could be intended and so kept on her way.. Just a3 she was passing the men they made a grab for her satchel, and one of them, seizing it, attempted to pull it loos-. The lady held to her property and screamed at tre top o' her voice, which alarmed a colored boy in Frey's quarry, near by, and he began to yell for the police, which caused the two foot-pads to drop their plunder and take to their heels, running up the hill, both escap escaping. - ing. escaping.

There was only two bills on the calendar Friday for third rc.i Hug, the firrt being by Mr. Littler, ot Clark, to prohibit boards ot education from establishing colored schools, except on the peiitionol colored citizens over eighteen years of age.

Mr. Tcomson, of Ham ilton, offered an amendment to the bill, which repeals section 4003, autho'izing boards of education to establish colored schools when in Ihe judg judgment - ment judgment of the boards it will be for the benefit or the colored citiz ns. This amendment was adopted and the bill passed. There has been considerable stir during the session over the provisions of the bill and what the effects might be, and the advocates of the same think they have scored a great victory. As the law will stand should the bill pass the Senate, it will do away with sep irate schools altogether, and not leave the mat'er optional with boards as formerly. SunnelJ. Lewis, engrossing clerk ot the Houe, has been an advocate of the bill, and worked diy and night for its pasfag. The bill was parsed by a vote of of G3 to 12, and the action was clinched by a refustl to reconsider the vote. Cincinnati Commcrcial-Gizette: "Mrs. Chas.
