Detroit, Bay City & Alpena RAILROAD.

The meeting of the chamber OF
commerce last evening was called to
meet Mr. Henry, representing the
above company. There was a good
attendance of members and OH the in
vitation of President Merrill, Mr..
Henry addressed the chamber. He
stated in effect that the Detroit, Bay
City & Alpena railroad company,
which has recently purchased the
Tawas and Bay County logging rail
road, were engaged in efforts to ex-
tend the line to Alpena in the north
and to n connection with the Mich
igan Central railroad on the south.
They had been met by the people of
the shore towns with liberal contribu-
tons, and if Bay City responded in a
like manner the extension and connec-
ton would be made. The present
plan was to extend the road to Wells,
on the Mackinaw division, aud they
expectt to make a favorable running
arrangement with the Michigan Cen
trail railroad. The amount of bonus
asked from Bay City was $4,000.
Mr.. Merrill stated his belief that
Bay City people would contribute to
the construction of any railroad if
they received assurances that after it
was built they would receive benefits
that would remunerate them for their

Reduction i'm the Price of Matches.

The match companies were relieved
of the revenue tax July LIST, and the
users of lucifcrs begin to look anXi-
ously for the proposed benefits which
were promised to consumers by that
measure. There is no reason why re-
tailers should not sell gross of
matches to-day at 81, or fully 100 per
cent. lower than last month, and the
quarter-gross at % to 80 cents instead
Of 90 to 50 cents, while one cent
should buy the poor mans single
bunch, especially in view of the fact
that the leading match companies
have conceded very substantial re-
duction to dealers. New circulars
were issued July 2, according to which
the common birthstone match, which
has heretofore sold at 50 per gross, is
now sold at 50 cents 90 gross lots at
II cents, and 100 gross lots at 10
cents. This is uniform reduction of
s1.15 per gross. The tax, which is
now removed, amounted net, to about
s1.30, so that dealers get within 10
cents of the full benefit of the reduc-
ton, which is very satisfactory be-
ginning.
How much lower these prices will
be forced by competition cannot be
said. The margin is small, however,
so far as tax abolition is concerned.
The reduction in parlor and fancy
matches is not so large. Competition
from foreign companies, who are aDx-
ious to introduce their matches, is
likely to affect prices in consumers
favor. AS it now is, cases which sold
at $15 last week may now be had for
s10.-Lumberman's Gazette.

The State Encampment.

The following General Orders No.
4, have been issued by Gen. Withing-
ton, dated July 16, 1883.
1. An arrangement has been made
with Thomas Swan for subsisting the
rife teams at Island Lake during the
two days they are to be engaged pre-
ceding the encampment, at seventy
five cents per day, or twenty-five cents
each meal. The men are to pay the
caterer for their meals, and will be
entitled TO an allowance therefor at
the rate named. This allowance will
be drawn on the regular pay roll, not
ing in each case that the man was Of
the rife team.
2. Regimental Quarter-masters
should be on the camp ground by the
9th of August. If they are there to
receipt for tents, a sufficient number
will be issued to quarter the riAemen
and working parties.
3. The rifle teams will report for
duty to the Inspector-General on ar
rival at Island Lake, and will be sub
iect TO his orders, both as TO the rifle
pxactice and otherwise, until the ar
rival of their proper company or reg
GmeDtai officers.
T. The troops now being provided
with knapsacks Will make use of them
for underclothing, etc, in place of
satchels. The men are not 10 take
citizens clothing TO camp.
). The brigade staff not ordered
TO duty before will report as early as
possible Oh the 9TH of August.
6. Regiment commanders will re-

port at brigade headquarters in per-
son on arrival, and will report their
commands as soon as complete, and
by tattoo on the Sth, though incom-
plete.
Z. Company commanders will be
held responsible for the conduct OF
their men en- route to camp. The
general commanding trusts, however,
that a proper selfrespect and respect
for the service will restrain the State
troops from any discreditable acts.

Taxing the Necessaries.

A table including 96 per cent. of
all the dutiable goods imported and
97.86 per cent. of all the duties col
lected, shows that the necessaries of
the people pay nearly 70 per cent. of
the tariff taxes. Among these articles
are breadstuffs, chemicals, drugs, dyes,
etc, cotton manufactures, earthen
ware and china, flax, glass, hemp,
iron, steel, leather and manufactures
thereof, potatoes, salt, sugar, molasses,
tin, wood and manufactures Thereof,
and raw and manufactured wool.
The duties on these articles range
from "A to IS per cent. and they paid
last year nearly three-fourths Of all
the tariff taxes.-Ex.

The Ohio Wesleyan University, at
Delaware, under the able manage
ment of President G. ii. Payne, has
taken a front rank among our West
ern Colleges. The system of co-educa-
ton has proved a pronounced success,
giving the young ladies at their love
ly home at Monnett Hall the advan-
tage of mixed classes with the priva-
cy of the family circle. The Univer-
sity in its departments has never been
as ably conducted. The graduating
class of 'S3, numbered fifty-two. and
the total enrolment in all departments
of the Institution for the year, was
1888; representing 80 counties of
Ohio, and twenty-three States and for
eign countries.

Third A Assistant Postmaster Genera
Hazen said on Wednesday that two
cent postage is a success. The demand
for two-cent stamps has been enormous
The receipts from the sale of stamp'
this quarter will almost If not quite
equal thoss for the same quarter las
year. The deficit on account of the re-
duction will be only about 10 per cent,
OF between S4,O0O,000 snd $4,000, 900.
It was estimated that tho reiGct ion ii
letter postage would result In "a dehGi'
of about $1,000, 900. This will be the
amount chargeable to this cause. The
other million or two will be chargesble
to two other causes first, the new law
giving Post. III ssters at small post-offiCes
all the receipts from staHp sales in
stead Of a percentage, and, secondly,
the decision of the Supreme Court Civ
ing land grant railroads the .noti oye1

Profitable Farming.

Capt. Thomas H. Fitzgerald. OF
Somerset County, finished gathering
corn q few days ago, and got 1,GO(
bushels from 26 acres OF land. Besides
the manure raised on the place, $1O(
worth of commercial fertilizers were
used. The Somerset Herald says:
"When corn can be grown at thu
rate of 60 bushels TO the acre as in this
case-it is profitable business. TIT
captain is one of the best farmers II
the county, and his success is all owing
10 the thorough system employed by
him in the prosecution Of his bust

Md, reached the large figure of ! ,4O'
barrels, equal to 1000 bushels.

The Chiago Railway Age, III its next
issue, will publish a summary OF the
