FACIOLLE's FORTUNE.
The FreHchniaa la Florida who EOeeM
Fate sns, R5n NJ,

The news somehow got to Jacksonville,
Fla, that Frank Faciolle held part OF
the ticket which drew the capital prize OF
$4,000 in the February drawing of the
Louisiana State Lottery Company. A
search was set up for him by reporter
but he could not be found. Finally some
OF his friends were discovered who sus-
peeted, although they did not know OF his
good fortune.
taciolle YVES a carpenter and cabinet
maker at No. 23 Pine street. He is forty
three years of age, came from Paris, ol
which he is q native, 20 America nine
years ags, and settled in Jacksonville about
a year ago. He learned his trade in France
He dropped in on one OF his friends the
night before his departure from Jackson
vile, and said he was going away.
why are you going ?" asked his friend
"Oh, b lsiness is dull in my line, and
can get nothing TO do"
The mystery OF his whereabouts wa,
solved on FRIDAY, when he turned up in
the Office of the Louisiana State Lottery
Company, at the corner of st. Charles and
Union streets. Faciolle had in his pos
session one-fifth Of the ticket No. II ,342
which drew the capital prize OF ;S75, 900 al
the drawing on February Il, 1884. He
presented the precious slip o. paper, and
IL was immediately exchanged tor check
on the New Orleans National Bank. II
was Il noteworthy transformation scene
coming to the Office poor cabinet-maker
and leaving it comparatively a man oi
means.
Faciolle is single man, and came to
America to better his fortune. He labored
diligently for years, but did not meet with
much success until some lucky impulse
forced him to invest 81 in a lottery ticket,
which he ordered by correspondence from
NJ. A. Dauphin, New Orleans. He became
aware of being entitled to a share in the
900 prize soon after the drawing, and
came here to collect his money.
Faciolle says he will continue at his
trade for another year, aud will then re-
turn TO his sunny home in ia Belle
France" to meet his kindred and friends,
who will doubtless be oveijoyed at his
good fortune.-Ne,o Orleans (Ld.) Plea

WAsHtNGToN, March Mr.. Reagan
has at last got his interstate commerce
bill in print and ready for consideration

with it, and has ,Eet with good deal Of
opposition in the committee. His bill has
been materially mo lifted by committee
action; and be fepOr,s it TO tile House as "a

vides that all charges for transportation of

The third section makes it unla wful for
such persons to allow any rebate or draw
back or advantage in any form to one ship
per not allowed to all shippers. The fourth
section makes it unlawful for persons or
railway companies to enter into combina-
tions to prevent the carriage of freights
being continuous between point of ship
ment and final destination Tor the purpose
OF avoiding the provisions of this act also
POpilHS
The fifth section applies the provisions of
the act to transportation of all goods,
whether carried by one road from point of
shipment to that of destination, or by sew
eral railroads in combination. The sixth
section makes railroads failing to act liable
to the person injured for the actual dam
ages and counsel fees, and the seventh

first meeting to-day, and, after discussion,
disagreed. The House conferees could
not recede from the clause restricting the
use of money to investigations already
ordered, and the Senate conferees refused
to agree to it, saying the unanimous vote
OF the Senate against it wss equivalent to
instructions to them 10 oppose it. Upon
adjourning it was understood that another
conference will be held, hut it is not
thought probable that an agreement will
be reached by the present conferees.

THE question OF noissless but durable
pavement that will stand wear and tear
better than any other, and cost but little
for repairs, has long been solved in Paris
and Washington, where wood was sub
jected TO every test aud rejected. in those
cities they have given the preference 10
asphalt, which, besides being noiseless,
has the sanitary value of being very clean
aud of preventing deleteiious exhalations.
Gen. Gilmore, of the United States engin-
eer corps, in his work on roads, streets
and pavements. in speaking of the wear
OF the asphalt pavements in Paris, where
they have been in use since 1854, says
that some of the asphalt which had been
in use on the Rue de Begere, street
subject TO heavy traffic. had in fifteen
years lost twelve and half per cent. Of
lis thickness and only fye per cent. of its
weight The asphalt pavement on Penn
sylvania avenue, in Washington, which
was laid in 1876. has cost 5000 to keep in
repair for five years, or little more than a
cent yard year. Mr. Beckwith, ia United
States Paris Exposition reports for 1873
says the cost there of keeping Belgian
block in repair is from eight and tw J.
thirds cents TO totwenty-fve cents per square
yard per year. Certainly the comparison
is favorable to the asphalt pavement. OF
394. .Ss4 yards of asphalt laid between 1877
and 1881, the total cost of repair up 10 the
spring of 1882 was Sl50, an amount so
trifiing as not to be considered. During
this time the asphalt and concrete were
frequently taken up and pipes laid and
the breaks repaired 80 that the pavement
was left as sound and uniform as origi-
nally laid, the work being done bv an ex-
pert. Such a pavement laid upon the
streets OF Memphis, especially those on
which residences are butt, would be found
not only more economical than any other
in the long run, but a sanitary pavement
in the best sense aud Roiseless and clean.

Several other reports were also received

Mr. Morrison moved that the House GO

enue bills, pending which Mr.. Townshend
fIll. moved that the House go into com
mittee on the general appropriation bills
The Speaker stated that the vote woulG

Mr.. Reed Me. inquired whether, If ths
