The entire manufacturing depart
ment of Cherry, O'Conner IL CO.. les
sees of the penitentiary, was burned
Monday, together with large amount
of manufactured goods. The firm,
owing nothing and being exceptional,
ly strong financially, having saved a
large amount of raw material, will at
once reorgauize their mandatory of
wagons and other goods. The loss
over insurance is about S250,000.
Notwithstanding the confusion and
excitement, only six convicts escaped
from custody, though at one time
hundreds could have gained liberty
by rush through the crowds ofspec,
tators. Many of the convicts exerted
themselves to save the property of
the leasees. 1t is now hoped and be-
lieved that the prison will be moved
from Nashville. 1t is a source of dis,
ease where it is, and the Nashville
people are clamorous for its removal.

object of the call. A committee has
been appointed to prepare bill re-
disricting the state. 1t is thought
the number of members will not be
increased. AS an economic and time
saving measure, we believe the num-

done.

We are glad to notice that Senator
kusel has introduced a bill in the State
senate that has for its object the restors,-
tion of what is known among us as the
Iall Compromise Plan Of settlement
our bonded Indebtedness. By this plan
tne several wards i'll the city would bc
JAILED upon to elect Bond Commissioners

power to take up the old bonds of the 81 Y
1T 90 per cent. of their face value. throw
my Oft all accumulated interest and issue
new bonds payable i'll Is years in pay
ment OF such settlement, one fifteenth to
be paid annually with interest thereon,
though we think the interest ought not to
exceed per cent. Thus it the Hall law
is restored the putting of it into execution
would be still 10 thu hands of the citi-
zens, but if it is not restored the do-noth-
ing policy must continue. We coruiai
ly endorse this action and hope it will
succeed in bringing about a satisfactory
settlement of our bonded troubles. We
are sure the citizens whose greatest de-
sire is to zee our city redeemed will sup
port this movement. One thing is sure, If
something is mot done now to remove
this blighting curse from our city We shall
take another step downward, our indus
tries languish worse and worse, our
young men and active citizens ego west
and leave us in the lurch; property de-
preciate still further, and our city be fl
nally ruined. And, on the other hand it is
possible the Legislature may decline to
allow this state of things to 60 on in this
way much longer. 1t may insist upon
such a settlement as we shall not like,
and SO let us be up and doing while we
have chance.

The Big storm.

The snow storm which set in Friday
night proved one OF the most violent ever
known in this section of country. The
storm commenced from the east shifting
before daylight to the northeast. Being
accompanied by high wind the snow
was piled up in immense drifts, in MANY
places as high as the top of the fences
and even worse than this in various To-
calities. The roa..s in the country were
SO badly obstructed with drifts that travel
upon them was simply impossible and as
consequence scarcely a farmers team
could be seen in the streets Saturday at
any time Pedestrians had hard bur
den imposed upon them to traverse
the thoroughfares as but little shoveling
had been done or could be done upon
sidewalks and many performed the hard
est days work allotted to them the
whole winter In going to and from their
residences. The railroads had COM

storm the tracks being so thoroughly
blocked with snow as to prevent trains
from moving. The early morning pas
