story was found to be desirable and 1t
was added for $4,000. Thus the whole
cost Of the erection of this building was
100000. These facts have been fur
nished to us and may be relied upon
The Clayton House has three fronts.
The county building might have four,
probably only three. But the compari-
son is not good one because OF the
more costliness of the Clayton House
through the great amount of labor and
material in partilioning it into so many
rooms. The first and second floors might
compare somewhat; but the county
buildings would only require to be three
stories, while the Clayton House is six
stories.
But two story building might be much
more cheaply erected by putting eight
firs-proof rooms for the county Of
fees on the first floor and the court room
and jury rooms on the second. One of
the owners of the Clayton House, who
assisted in all its de, Ais of arrangement,
doggedly insists that new county build
ings can be erected in this city by con-
tract for $50,O00.

WHAT CAUSED THR DECLINK IN wHFa1
IN CHICAGO YEsT1pn.v

WHAT CAUSED THK DECLINE IN WHEAT
IN CHICAGO YESTERDAY.
NEW York, March 7.-Mr. James T..
keens, the well-known grain operator.
stated tonight, at the Holel Brunswick.
where he Is stopping, to a reporter of the
Associated Press, that his name was
forged last night (ThursdayJ to half.
rate telegraphic message to j. X. Fisher
Il Co, gain brokers OF Chicago, direei-
ing them TO sell :, 3,O00. 900 bushels of wheat
Oh Mr.. ksene's account. This caused
the decllne OF wheat in Chicago to-day
from VI to " cents per bushel at III.
morning aud afternoon boards.
Mr.. keene knew nothing of the trans
acton until this afternoon, and he r. mn
dlates the entire sale, which will comnel
the repurchase by Fisher Il Co. of Tho
amount sold on his account to-day. Mr..
keene says he had no intention Of ma
KING any sale OF grain at present. and
certainly not at W cents per bushoI. The
message was sent through tho Atlantic
anu Pacific company, and MIR. Kesne
states 1t was evidently the work of an
agent in New York of conspiracy
formed in Chicago by parties who were
largely short OF provisions. and who
hoped by brea king the wheat market to
cover their sales and buy largely long.
Steps have been taken to discover the
author OF tbs telegram. Mr. keene says
suspicious are strong against what H.
known AZ the provision Clique of Chi.

New Ice-Making Mae hine.

The desiIeratum, so long felt, of a
portable ice making machine adapted to
the production of small quantities tor
family use, is claimed to be realized by
recent invention. In this arrangement
the freezing operation Is conducted in q
metallic cylinder, formed OF thee parts,
the inner lining being of lead and the
outer sheet metal, the space between
being filed with asbestos or similar nom
conducting material In this cylinder
are pecnliarly-shaped moulds, placed in
a vertical posiIlon, so that the frigorinc
substance entirely surrounds each mould
on all sides, although the moulds are
formed together in circle.
Stirrers are arranged OH shaft, to stir
up the solution between the moulds and
side Of the cylinder, so as to keep the
solution agitated, this being only neces-
sary occasionally, however. The moulds
are filled with water, and then a pecu-
liar refrigerator mixture, made by the
manufacturers Of the machine, is poured
into the cylinder around the mould.
The dasbers are moved by means Of a
handle projecting through the cylinder,
which serves to agitate the liquids, and
bring fresh portions in contact with the
sides of the mould When the water in
the mould has become ice. the cover
may be lii ted off, the moulds taken out
and reversed, when the blocks of ice
formed in the mould drop out into suita-
Bile receptacles. A glass cover shuts the
top Of the mould, so that, by reno wing
the top Of the metallic cylinder, it is
possible. to look into the mouths with
out uncoyering them, and see how the
operation of freezing is going on.

THE Republican journals are Boosting
that MIR. Hayes will veto the bills that
repeal the Federal Election laws. Well,
perhaps he will be taught better manners
after he has done so. He may be told
that he is only in the White House by suf-
ferance Of Congress. And possibly there
may be found a way to tie the hands OF
the greatest thief of the century, as there
WAS found a way to tie those Of Tweed.
There are plenty Of Republican prece-
dents for all that is necessary. But first
it would be well to inform him that his
nominations will require confirming, and
that the Senate is not bound to help him
place his friends in office. One Of the
first things Congress should do is to re-
duce the Army to fifteen thousand men,
and remove all titles above that of Ma
jor General; curtail the number of naval
officers and reduce all titles to Commo-
dore. This is the age of silver.

THn IMPROVED BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
AS an illustration OF the imp owed busi-
ness outlook the Cincinnati Commercial
says: The head of one Of the largest
firms OF this city starred West On an ex-
sensive collecting tour four weeks ago.
and returned much sooner than he An.
Iicipated with the cheerful report that he
bad not failed to cole ct every dollar due
for goods, and had not 70 und single
bad debt III the whole list OF the firms
customers. The cash was paid On de-
mand, ard accompanied With fresh or
ders for the ensuing season. This NAV
be an exceptional case, and partially due
to the prudence of the house in extending
its credit. But the gentleman found i
80 much castor than heretofore to make
collections that he attributes it as much
to the improved financial condition OF
the country as to any other cause.
