Demoormy's Second Meeting.

About two hundred OF the leading demo
Gratis of the city attended the adjourned
meeting held Oh Tuesday evening There
seemed to he Misunderstanding concerning
tho object of the meeting between the city
central committee ana some Of the leading
democrats, and a quite lively discussion was
soon under way.
MIR. Lincoln, the chairman, said he could
not surmise the object Of the meeting, unless
it was being held to draw out the sentiment
of the democracy in more thorough man
ner. As far as the passing Of resolutions in.
structing the committee was concerned, he
did not think it proper, az by the resolution
adopted at the previous meeting, the calling
of conventions was left wholly to the COM
mittee, without reserve.
| Al this the meeting remained silent for
nearly ten minutes, and then Mr.. Perkins
remarked that it was the intention of the
evening; that the central committee make .
report of what they had determined on. MIR
Traiuor entertained the same idea
Mr. Slnon, of the committee, said that the
committe had done nothing, as yet, except.
ing to notify all candidates that conventions
would be held. lie was sure that there was
y misunderstanding somewhere
In order to draw out the sentiment Of the
meeting, Mr.. Reed offered arcsolntion fixing
the manner of selecting delegates.
Mr.. Trai or offered an amendment, which
was accepted by Mr.. Reed, instructing tn,
committee to approximate the number o
democratic votes in the city from the vote
cast for Grover Cleveland, in as fair anl
equitable a manner as possible.
Mr.. Madden objected on the ground tha
the resolution was improper and would re
strict the action of the committee.
Mr., Trainor then modified the resolution
to read as follows:
Resolped, That this meeting suggest tina
il the central committee cali a delegate con
vention for the nomination OF city officers
it assign 10 each ward a number of delegaie
that shall be just and equitable upon thu
basis Of the vote cast for Cleveland AZ tn
last election.
The resolution was adopted, and the meet
ing adjourned in perfect harmony.

One of the most Important transfers Of
by Fiske IL BEEN of the lands along the
Illinois river, in East Ottawa and in Rutland
tp., known as the Water Power properly,
to MIR Il. V. Johnson and o'hers known as
the Pioneer Fire.proOf Construction Co
This includes all the property formerly
ouned by the Ottawa Water Power Co., in.
cluling the site of the Illinois river dam,
with the privilege Of attaching dam TO the
south shore.
The Pioneer Company, of course, as their
leading object in the purchase, want the
immense clay beds which underaly this $50
odd acres, which is, for the purpose Of their
business. one of the most valuable clay beds
in this country, it being peculiarly suited
for the manufacture Of fire proofng, and
especially valuable for its easy accessibility,
being reached by mere surface stripping
avoiding the somewhat expensive system Of
mining, necessarily resorted to by nearly
all others Of the companies which are now
manufacturing this kind OF ware in America
But, as the people Of Ottawa well know,
Mr., Johnson is a hustler" to use the
vernacular. A keen, energetic intensely
active and far sighted business man, the
possibilities of this property, aside from its
immense value to HIM as a clay bank. are
unquestionably apparent. Indeed, some
time ago, before he had any thought, per,
haps, of being personally interested in this
property, he had taken an active interest in
it, and, with others, had all but succeeded in
perfecting project to give it development
in magnificent manner Now that he has
become personally interested in it, 1t is not
likely Lis efforts to that end will be any less
active or untiring Indeed, he himself has
said within the week that he has not ye,
given up the hope of still carrying out the
plan he had SO nearly developed Tor the
benefit of the former owners.
Knowing Mr.. Johnson as well as the peo-
pie of Ottawa do, the FREE TRADER is CON
fdent every man in the city feels personal
satisfaction in the fact that this magnificent
property has fallen into such good hands
for it is not too much to expect that before
long it will be developed in the way nature
evidently intended it should be, and that
sooner or later, through this purchase, MIR.
Johnson will add one more triumph to his
splendid business career in Ottawa, and
place the city stlll further in his debt by
adding other and perhaps greater industri-
cal interests to Ottawa, in addition to his
splendid clay working plant, already in op-
Grafton.

He Wants To Go Home.

The usual list of Frenchmen from Serena
came into town on Monday and enjoyed the
same old drunk. A stranger, who had JUS
arrived from Asace, Lorraine and was work.
ing his way to Serena, happened to fall in
with them, and consequently, became hila--
rious also. They made practice of going
home on the Paw Paw, and by way of diver
sion, while waiting for the train, engaged in
q free for-all fight, which was discontinued
only long enough to board the caboOse when
the train arrived Conductor Wormley of
this train, is somewhat of fighter, and
when there is any fighting to be done is
always desirous to do it himself When the
fight was opened on the train, the Alsatian
attempted to act as peacemakcr, but one Of
the combatants struck him, and, forgetting
his object, was soon in the fight himself.
AT the junction, Wormley kicked both men
of the train, the first man apparently at
tempting to bore hole through sewer
pipe with his head, while the Alsatian
landed on his head and shoulders in the
shoulders in the gutter. He arose very
wrathful, and remarked that this was -
Of country, and that he was going back to
Alsace right away.
