length aud four feet in diameter, hav-
ing twelve wrought-iron fiues, each six
inches in diameter, altogether giving
q heating surface of 600 square feet.
Sixty pounds of steam will give all the
power that may ever be needed. The
capacity of this engine is much beyond
what is required now, but the proprie-
tors intend increasing the grinding c.
pacity of their mill from fifty barrels
IN twenty-four hours to between 100
and $50. a grist mill now attached
10 the concern has a capacity for grind
ing 700 bushels of corn in twenty-four
hours. New boiling cloths have just
been put in, and the quality of -four
turned out is as good as any made in
Texas. Investments already made sum
up SO 900.
THE AUSTIN ICE FACTORY,
not far away, belongs to Brunei & Co.
This has two Care machines in opera
ton, with an ice making capacity per
day of u, 900 pounds. This establish
ment commenced operations eight
years ago with a very small machine.
In 1874 the producing capacity was
1000 pounds; in 1875 it was 5000.
This one company cannot meet the re-
quirements of Austin, but it has been
most prompt in its manufacture and
supply, and Is deservedly very popu-
lar. Two machines gives 1t an oppor-
tunity to produce ice at anytime, even
in case of breakage. They have estab-
lished cheap rates for luxury, which
we hope will last always IN Austin. Just
by this factory stands the power
of the
AUSTIN CITY WATER WORKS,
the greatest institution in our midst
To Capt. Mather's energy, and the con-
fidence of F. W. Chandler, are due the
existence of these works. The pump.
ing power of its engines is 10 horse
power, and there are now about six
miles of pipe laid through the city.
Capt. Mather, from whom we expected
to get statistical information, is at
present IN st. Louis, where he has
gone to prepare for improvements and
engagements.
THE CAPITAL ICE COMPANY
has most substantial works, facing the
Avenue. They are owned by Forster,
Ludlow & Co., DR.. Taylor, of the
United States army; Gen. VIM. Steele
and some Others, and the ice turned
out by this factory is superb. 1t is
frozen by natures process, and is as
clear and beautiful, even during the
present muddy condition of the river
water, as that turned out Of the Other
establishment from distilled water.
The ice is formed in 600 pound blocks,
and these are sawed up and either dis
tributed to daily customers OF stored
away in rooms for emergencies. The
capacity of this factory, as told US by
Mr.. Stokes, is 5000 pounds per day.
Messrs. Stokes & Fisher buy the ice
from the factory and manage the city
distribution.
There are other things of which We
will speak at-another time.

II A New England factory can make
a prof: of one cent on pound of raw
cotton it has done well. 4 Southern
factory has an advantage Of at least
one cent, some say more, on the raw
material. Las it been considered what
this meansl THIS is equal to twelve
per cent. on the capital stock. If well
managed 1t must make twice as much
as a Northern factory. This, in fact,
has been done generally by the facto-
rles in Georgia and South Carolina.
A factory that cost $50, 900 IN the
South will make as much clear profit
as one that cost 800, 900 in the North.
A factory in the South will make twice
the dividend Of one In the North. Can
our capitalists find better place to
put their money than in such factoriesi

CllClnQdJl capitalists eAeCuLeu coup
Get0t which Will probably give them
permanent control of-o-new Southern
railroad. The city of Cincinnati has
already raised SIG, 900, 900 fer the
building of this road. The money is
all expended, but still a considerable
part of work remains unfinished. The
completed portion, extending nearly
through the State of Kentucky, only
awaits equipment to be put into imme.
diate operation and with view to
making this portion available for use,
the trustees decided upon a TEN.
porary lease. A common carrier
company was organized with a capital
OF $500, 600 and books were opened for
subscriptions. The city was thor
oughly canvassed and at p. N. to-day,
the hour for closing the books, less
than one-half of the amount was taken
at that moment. However, a syndi-
cate subscription of 600 shares was
made, giving control of the lease to q
small combination of men headed by
r. N. Shoemaker. This takes the
business community by surprise. Fears
are expressed that by this move the
city has lost control of the road
and will never see a return for her
sixteen million dollars. On the Other
hand, it may be said that the gentle
men composing the syndicate are well
known citizens and heavy taxpayers,
who would not be suspected of inten.
ton to fleece the city. The trustees
have also the night to revoke the lease
at anytime upon sixty DAYS notice and
no very great rascality can be perpe.

nome of the facts transporting during this
Indian war. We go upon the principle
chat the facts Of Importance should be pub
Eshed while they are fresh in the minds of
Che witnesses. Such facts are far better
for reference when the full history of the
war, its causes and the manner of conduct
iug it are to be written up collectively. We
shall say nought in malice towards any
one, but we propose that the truth shall be
made matter of record, as near as can be,
let it cut where and as deep as it will. We
have no friends to favor nor enemies to
