TIE DAILY ARGUS.
. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER IS, 1885.

TIE assembling of congress has
brought up the subject of the organiza>
ton of the next house which, In the Or
binary course of events, will meet q year
from this time. For the speakership the
general opinion is that Mr.. Carlisle will
be his own successor. His friends are
outspoken in their determination to again
elect him, and if any thought of oppos-
ing him exists in any mind it is kept Sc
cret. 1t is presumed that democrats who
believe in the protective tariff system
would naturally prefer speaker in SYM
pathy with their policy, but it is scarcely
probable that anybody INDUCES in the
belief that a prOteclionist could be elect
ed. The tariff reformers will constitute
large majority of the democrats of the
next house. While democrats do not antici
pate that the tariff question will enter as
an issue into the selection of speaker, it
seems to be expected that it will quietly
have some influence; that, for instance.
even if Mr. Carlisle were not in the race,
the tariff reformers would not permit
protectionist to be elected But Mr..
Carlisle will command the support of
democrats who incline toward protection.
He is popular, and the prevalent belief is
that he will be the unanimous choice of
the party. As reg lrds the clerkship there
has been some talk within few days
that Mr.. Morrison's friends would pu h
him for that position in order to keep him
In public life. 1t does not seem at all
probable. however, that Mr.. Morrison
would serve in a clerical capacity in the
body of which he has SO long been the
leader, and the report may safely be set
down as without foundation

Important Decision Affecting Telephone
and Telegraph Companies.
WARREN, O., November 12.-Judge Fl
B. Woodbury., Of the Circait Court In ses'
sion here, decided this afternoon one of
the most important questions In Ohio
courts. By the decision no corporation
operating telephone or telegraph line
can plant poles along the highways
without having first paid abutting land
owners for the privilege. The sulG Is
that of John j. Smith, a farmer, against
the Central District and Printing Tele-
phone Company Of Plttsburg, Pa. The
company In 1885 planted Its line along
the highway abutting Smiths farm
without paying for the right. The case
was decided against the company In
Common Pleas Court snd came from
there to the Circuit Court.
The plaintiff claimed that the COM
pany had no right to plant the line with.
out first appropriating the property. He
claimed q fee simple In the highway to
the middle of the road, and that the fee
was disturbed. The defendant claimed
the right, as the plaintiff had no right
to interfere with any easement In the
road for the public benefit. The court
gave lengthy opinion, ordering the
company to take the poles down inside
Of ninety days and granting 81 nominal
damages. This part of the cOmpany's
line Is the connecting link between
Chicago and New York, and should
the poles go down connection east and
west will be broken.

FIRE BRICK PAVING.
The Investigating Committee Returns.-
What Is Said.

WnhG IS SA10,
Chairman Walser, of the Council Com
mlttee on Streets and Alleys, and Engi-
neer HOll have returned from their in
spection tour, Investigating the value Of
lire brick for street paving purposes.
City Engineer HOll was seen by the
DEMOCRAT, concerning his opinion Of
nre 0rlek for street paving purposes.
de said that the committee had visited
SteubenV1lle, Wheeling and Cumberland
where the brick are manufactured. The
paving at SteUbenVille was laid two
years ago aud as yet shows no percepti-
ole signs of wear.
The President of the Council and City
Engineer were seen, as we'll as many
other citizens, and all spoke very highly
of the paving of their streets. Stenben-
Vile pays from 80 cents to 81 per square
yard for material, grading and paving
complete.
The committee was at Wheeling Fri
day forenoon and found that that city
had $4,000 square yards of street paved
with Cumberland brick, and the citizsns
who were approached on the subject all
said It gave complete satisfaction. Some
said that 1t would pay better to repsve
every i've years than to be incoU Veni-
enced by driving over cObble stones,
even II the latter would last lifetime.
The wheeling streets are covered with
asphaltum and coal tar making them al
most nOiseles9 and as smooth as a floor,
but not the least slippery for teams.
This pavement has been In use for
four years and Is still as good as that
laid within the year.
The cost per square yard for the
wheeling pavement was 81 26. In Can
ton the price will be 81, II the brick are
manufactured here.
Mr.. N. Merley, formerly of Louisville,
has contracted with r. II. Adams for the
excavating for 1870 by 40 foot brick
yard building on the Belden farm, where
In addition to the manufacture of COM
mon and pressed brick and drain tile,
these street paving brick will be manu-
factured.
