A tract of G5l acres Of land six miles
west Of the city hall at Chicago has been
purchased by r. Suydam Grant, of New
York. The purpose is to move the Grant
Locomotive works from Paterson, n. j..
to that city. Two companies, each with
a capital of S1,0OO00o, have been organ
lied to handle the purchase-one com
pany taking care Of the land, and the
other the manufactory. f. L. Jeffery,
late general manager Of the Illinois Cen
tral railroad. will have supervision of
both companies. At first the capacity
of the works will be $50 locomotives a

PLAN at Paterson will be abandoned.
A special dispatch from Washington,
referring to the makeup Of the house
coinage committee, says: A reporter

members, but several of them were out
Of the city and could not be seen per-
sonally. Carter. Bartine. Bland and
Joseph are for free coinage Of silver
The latter. however. has no vote on the
committee, as he is a delegate and not a
representative, but his influence will be
felt. Williams is said to be a very strong
silver man, though not committed to
unlimited coinage as yet. Those who
believe in silver, though not in free
coinage, are Conger, Wiokham, Com
stock and Taylor. Mitchell is conserva-
tive, but rather friendly than otherwise.
The anti-silyer men are Walter, Knapp,
Tracy and Wilcox. This is much
stronger silver committee than was an
tlcipated from Reed, and it is reasonable
to expect from it legislation of an ad-
yanced character

The fight between Jem Smith Of Eng
land. and Frank Slavin, the Australian
champion, took place yesterday morning
in private grounds three miles from
Bruges. The report Of the Smith -Slavin
prize fight in Belgium, received at Lou
don, says Slavin showed all through
the fight that he was the better man.
A number Of rowdies at the ring side,
armed with knuckles, busters and sticks,
tried to reach Slavin over the ropes, and
the Australian was struck several times.
At the end of the thirteenth round
Smith left the ring. Slavin remained
and claimed the fight, but the referee
would not award it to him. After a
short time Smith returned to the ring.
During the next round there was a
great uproar ali around the ring. At
the close of the round Smith was very
sick. Slavin was perfectly well. 1t
lasted y minutes. It was reported at
one time that Slavin had been killed, |
but the report proved false.
