INTERESTING POINTS
Gathered From the Second annual Repor
of the Chamber of Commerce.

UdHeFe0 from tite Second annual Report
of the Chamber of Commerce.
The second annual report of the trade and
commerce of Minneapolis, compiled for the
chamber of commerce, has just been issued
In pamphlet form, and in style and character
reflects great credit on the compiler, Z. c.
Sturtevant, secretary of the chamber. Its
102 pages OF matter evidence all the research
and patient, systematic and accurate care
necessary to give value to such work. The
report is reflex of the trade and commerce
of Minneapolis for the year 1884, with com
paratiye tables, showing the growth and
spread, and contains besides specific matters
pertaining to the city government and its re-
ligious and educational Institutions. A large
amount of matter covered by the report has
already found its way into the newspapers at
the time the annual statements were made
up. but a review of the results arrived at will
be of interest to the general reader.
The report after giving the membership
of the chamber, with the officers in charge,
sets forth the city official directory, the
bonded debt, the assessed value of city
property the extent of the water supply and
fire protection and an enumeration of the
churches and schools, with the number Of
pupils enrolled in the latter.
Large space is devoted to the railroads
centering in Minneapolis, giving all the
transportation information so valuable to
buyers and shippers. Still more space is de-
! voted to the grand review of the year and is
supplemented by various statistical tables on
the same subject, taken from the reports of
| the department of agriculture, all of which is
of vital interest to the members Of the
| chamber.
The flour trade is reviewed at length, show
ing q 20 per cent. increase in output for
1884 over 1888 in spite of the stagnation OF
| business throughout the country. The
| business of the Touring mills for the year
amounted to 500, 100000
The increased cut OF logs in 1884 de-
moralized the numbering business somewhat
yet the trade for the year was large. The
| total cut was as follows: Lumber, 300. 724, =
373 feet; lath II, 967, $50; shingles, $751;
$780,
The total manufacturing for the year out
side Of flour and lumber makes very salts
factory showing, the total being $50, 347 900
as against 24,002, 900 for 1888.
The city's general trade as in all cities last
year was rather Disappointing but at present
most firms are in good condition and with
| the expected return Of business activity will
make up for all deficiencies. The number
of business firms in Minneapolis is 1892, Of
which number 921 commenced business dur
ing the year. The trade for the past two
years was as follows:

The Life of Gen. J. E. B. Stuart.

There are good many OF the old caval-
rymen of the Army of Northern Virginia,
in Augusta, who will be interested to
know that life of Gen. J. E. B. Stuart
will be out in few days. 1t is written by
Il. B. Mcclellan, first cousin of Gen.
George B. Mcclellan, who commanded
the Union armies. This is the way he
came to be Jeb Stuart's biographer: A
native of Pennsylvania he settled in Cum
berland county, Virginia, before the war
aud when hOstilities came on he enlisted
as a private In the "Cumbarland troop of
the Sd Va. cavalry. He rose to the adju-
fancy of his owa regiment and from that
to chief of staff of Stuart's Command.
After his great leader was killed, he held
the same position on Wade HamptJn's
staff. After the war closed, be married
Virginia lady, went to Kentucky and is
now Principal of the Sayre College, at
Lexington, Ky. The agency for the book
has been given to Miss Vryie Grattan,
daughter of Capt. Charles Grattan of this
city, and those who want to subscribe for
it can address note to her. The b )ok has
three fist class rac)mn end ations-I5 is
written by an intelligent officer, in posi-
ton to know of what he writes; it is by a
personal friend of the soldier of whom it
treats, and it is perfectly reliable.

A Superb Residence.

The Palatka (Fla.) "Sun" contains a
lengthy description of "Halidon Park, -
the home Of Mr.. Holmes Erwin, formerly
of Staunton. situated on Lake Broward
in that State. 1t has one hundred acres,
enclosed by wire fence. There is an
Italian villa with double verandahs. The
furniture is of imported Australian hard
wood, the hearths are tiled, the stair rods
are of hammered silver, SC. There is a
boat house, orange grove, and dog house
which is a tunnel thirty feet under ground
to pr otect The dogs from heat and fiji. s In
the summer. There is also workshop at
the barn. The correspondent of the
s'Sun," says:
1t is blacksmith, wheelwright and
machine shop. all com bined in one, where
anything can be repaired, from the renew
al of a cart wheel to the mending of a
chinaware dish, or Sevres vase-and so
skilfully that the crack is invisible. 1t is
veritable curiosity shop, and the acute,
ingenius artisan. Mr.. Erwin himself, was
evidently born civil engineer, but found
himself a Florida farmer by force of cir
cumstances; for he came here so much
out of health as to be unable to work at
anything some fifteen or sixteen years ago
and homesteaded this property, though he
had then as now an abundance of financial
means.
