whisky men were urging upon Congress prompt
action upon the tax question.
A resolution TO adjourn during the holidays
was defeated.
The Civil Service bill was discussed by
Conger (republican) and Williams (demo-
craft. Conger satriAed the position of the
democratic senators, who were now vainly
attempting to be considered as reformers and
at the same time trying to get rid Of their Civil
Service bill. Williams, of kentucky, didn't
believe in this bill thought that old Ilickery
if alive would put his foot on it. He thought
the only reform possible was in putting in a
democratic president and letting him make a
clean sweep.

Johnny TWOlIig, Esq

The Eagle Pass Times speaks in the follow
ing respectful terms Of our venerable citizen, Mr.
John Twohig:
This is the maiden name of party in San
tone, who owns the Eagle Pass Lot factory.
Johnny is said TO have purchased some veal,
ago, the ground on which the town of Eagle
Pass is built, for song. 1t was probably all
the land was worth al the time. Even now. a
solo from the opera Of "Charming Judy Cal
laghan," given in public by SignOr Twohig.
would create lots-of amusement. Tohnny's
Lot factory at Eagle Pass is now in full blast.
and the size of the article Of lot turned on, i,
getting small by degrees and beautifully less.
while the prices have expanded to figures that
are only used in astronomical calculations.
A year ago. lots $50 feet square were heard
of, then the size dwindled to 75xI5o, then to
4oxI4o; further contractions are feared-it
may become necessary for prospective pur.
chasers gifted with large feet to own an entire
Twohig block. We may have to charter cars
for payments and receive our lots by mail.
All these things are liable to happen if John
ny keeps on dispensing homeopathic doses of
lots for allopathic acres of greenbacks. AT
present parties intending to settle in Eagle
Pass had better bring few lots along with
their baggage.

Washington, Dec. IL A bill for claims
that are SO years old was before the Senate
to-day. The bill provides for the payment of
claims of American citizens for spoiliations
committed by the French prior to 1901. On
these claims there have been 40 favorable re-
ports to both houses. One was made by
Edward Everett, one by Daniel Webster,
three by Rufus Choate, three by Caleb Cush
ing, one by Hannibal IIamlin and three by
Charles Sumner. Two bills have been passed
for the relief Of the claimants. One was We
toed by President Polk and one by President
Pierce. There will probably be good many
more before the bill becomes a law.

Elra CLAW.

The day Is not far distant when Ottawa
will be the center of an immense industry as
yet comparatively young, but It's usefulness
is recognized in all sections Of the world.
Fire clay is necessary article ia many of
our manufacturing industries-brick, tile,
pottery, iron making, glass making, sc,
Until recently all that has been used in Otta.
wa and this part OF the state has been
brought hundreds of miles, principally from
the south. 4 revolution has taken effect,
and now Ottawa is supplying the demand
herself. Lying just below the coal that
comes near the surface east of the city is a
vein OF fire clay Of the very best quality, ay.
eraging nearly ten feet in thickness. The
extent Of the bed is unknown, but covers
hundreds Of acres, at least.
Last spring, it will be remembered, Mr..
Doolittle came to this city and contracted for
the purchase of about thirty-five acres of
land lying along the north bank OF the canal
east OF Fox river. He erected works thereon
and proceeded to manufacture fire brick by
the "dry process" This, however, proved q
failure, and few weeks since he sold his in
terests to Messrs. II. B. Williams and c.. B.
Hess, of this city, These gentlemen at once
proceeded to make some Improvements and
are now manufacturing fire brick, both CON-
mon and pressed, by the old way. The i'm.
prevements consist OF almost entirely re-
building the works. The main building is
20x5O feet two stories high, and an L run
ming west S0x30 feet In width, also two sto-
ries high, The former contains the engine,
boiler, crusher, elevator, screen, &c. The
latter, both floors, will be used for moulding
and drying purposes. The whole works
when finished will be heated by steam. At
present 1000 brick are made daily, but the
capacity will be increased soon to 5000. Be.
sides the brick, large quantities of ground
clay are shipped in bulk to consumers at
Joliet, Peoria and other points; the cars be-
ing loaded direct from the elevator by means
of spout
The clay is obtained on the spot, an in.
clined shaft and tramway leading from the
crusher in the building to the bed under
ground. At present but two miners are en-
gagged in taking out the clay, but the guam
titles they handle would astonish an ordinary
man. just so would the man who moulds
the bricKs-one man alone, by hand, mould.
ing 1000 bricks day, having two assistants
to prepare the moulds and carry them away.
In the spring Messrs. Williams & Hess |
propose to make some additions to their |
works and engage extensively in the manu-.
acture of fire clay, drain tile, sewer pipe, &c.

Just ground tor complaint rests against
the responsible parties having charge Of
the lighting the street lamps. Persons
crossing the Illinois river bridge during
the early part of Monday evening were
subjected to great Inconvenience if not liza
bic to actual danger. The darkness was
absolute, so much so that a man driving
could not see his horse except by the
flashes Of lightning, and this was the con.
dition when several teams met on the
bridge. The lamps on the several bridges
throughout the city should be lighted as
soon as II Is dark.

THE FACT

OF the following statement
can be thoroughly establish
ed by a single trial: "The
Golden Slipper Cigar has
no equal for 5 cents" 1t
contains the best tobacco,
and is well made; a cigar as
pure is seldom found. The
price and quality establishes
a new era in cigars.
The Axle Grease | sell

filler; will wear longer than
all others; does not melt and

should use it, as it costs no
more than the inferior kinds.

EX-Constable j. W. Brown, on Saturday
night, set four traps IN the vicinity of
Starved Rock and next morning found
that he had trapped coon, red fox and
fine large otter. The otter Is the only
one that has been caught IN this vicinity
In over a dozen OF years. The fellow, how
ever, bore signs of having made more than
one narrow escape heretofore, az his front
toes were gone and he had other marks of
the trap on his limbs.
