fact, as they had never had word In
their lives. They had always been

only difference of opinion. The first
job of work he done after coming TO this
city was for Mr.. Chandler, and from
that day to this they had been fast
friends, and he trusted would continue
20. In the present matter there ID
difference between them, ard no one
regretted It more than he did.

Rice had said and assured those present
that there was not the slightest i'll feel;
ing between them. He ways had, and
still has, the greatest respect tor Mr..
Rice and full confidence in his abilities
rs an architect, but he thought in this
matter he had erred. But it is now in

can do what they consider right.

neglssebd 10 state last night, that If

The debt OF Philadelphia was redu'

in 1880 aggregates - $50 005. The out
standing debt Aug. 1885, was $S2 .674, ).

there has been n corresponding and a
constantly increasing decline in fixed
charges from 1871, 472 ~ In 1880 to 81,

the valuations of taxable property have
been advanced from S536 667, 63i in 1880
TO $6ll ,309 6l5, an increase OF S7i GAL,

only about fifty hands at work the
day the place was visited, but when
they are running at their full capacity,
they are able to give work to fully az
many more. Each ofthe women and girls
can earn from 75 cents to 81 day,
which makes the evaporator an import
ant industry In this section. In addi-
tion TO this, II must also be- taken into
consideration that IL always furnishes
the growers maaket for their fruit
almost at their doors, and where they
are paid the cash as soon as the fruit Is
unloaded.
The firm intends to enlarge their
works for next season, and will erect
another building, 20x1O0 feet, the lower
part OF which will be used for storing
manufactured m goods, while the upper
room will be fitted up as q skating
