THE PETERS CARTRIDGE CO. have issued this circular to 

 the trade: We desire by this circular letter to express our hearty 

 thanks for the scores of messages rf sympathy and encourage'- 

 menf, and for the liberal offers of aid received from the trade 

 throughout the country, since the calamity which visited our 

 works July 15. These have been so numerous and our hands have 

 been so full of other matters that individual acknowledgments 

 have been impossible. You have doubtless read many of the ter- 

 rible details in the daily papers, hence we need not recount them 

 here further than to say that our entire paper shell manufactur- 

 ing and loading plants and warehouses were destroyed, nothing 

 of" value heing left. Deeply as we regret the fearful loss of life 

 and property, which came through no fault or neglect of ours, we 

 are by no means discouraged. Indeed, with all these words of 

 cheer and assurance of support before ns, we cannot do otherwise 

 than try again. We have, therefore, already made arrangements 

 for rebuilding on a much more extensive scale than before. For- 

 tunately we had placed contracts some two or three months ago 

 for new shell-loading machinery, with a view to doubling our 

 production. By hard work we expect to have this in operation 

 and turning out Peters cartridges within thirty days. VVe are 

 able to control a good lot of "Prize" shells, which we will load and 

 supply to the trade as long as they last. Our shell-making ma- 

 chinery is expected to be in operation in six or eight weeks, as it 

 is being constructed under our supervision in probably a dozen 

 different, machine shops. Of course we cannot at present quote 

 prices or accept orders for either empty or loaded shells, but will 

 advise you when we are ready to do so. We thank you for your 

 kindness in the past, and trust that within a few weeks we may 

 again have your orders. Yours, very truly, The Petbbs Caist- 

 bidge Co. 



LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 21. -Fred Erb, who has been twice de-
