steamer was referred to, heinvited bids.

there was lull in the bidding, and
voice exclaimed, "Where is Dreifus?"
The steamer was finally knocked down
f. Nr. FRANKIE for that amount. The
C,s=ari. it is said. first and last, i'll
ending trial trips, &C., cost in the
neichborhood of $4,000, though the

claims against her aggregate $4,000,
slL 600 of which emanated in this city,
the balance being held in Baltimore.
Mr.. FRANKIE says the steamer will lie
here temporarily, but his intention is

Its provisions have been published. 1t
gives the engineer $1,000 per annum
salary.
Mr.. Strider moved that the salary be
made not more than $500 nor less than
$1,000.
Mr.. Mushbach said it was necessary
to name definite sum as the salary.
Mr.. McCuen moved that the salary
be $500.
Mr.. Snowden suggested that the sala-
~ clause be passed by for the present,
which was agreed to, and tie reading OF
the bill was proceeded with.
At its conclusion Mr.. Snowden said
when the bill was last before Council
he had iotted down some amendments
which he proposed to offer but did not
now have his memoranda with him. No
one expected the bill to be called up
to .night and as the hour was late ne
suggested that another evening could
be given to the matter.
Mr.. Mushbach said the bill had been
upon the table for two years. When
ever it was called up it had always
been met with these dilatory motions.
AS to the salary the city would save
money. The present city surveyor got
last year 81 ,523.25 from the city, be-
sides his fees from the citizens. This
Office to-day costs the city about 81 500.
Mr.. Snowden disclaimed any inten-
ton to make dilatory motions but he
wanted to look into some of the very
matters pt.Mushbach had mentioned.
The money paid the engineer included
the paying for his assistants, inspectors
of work, sc.
Mr.. Mushbacb: The bill does not go
into effect until July 1st, 1895.
Mr.. Snowden So much the more
reason for not hurrying the bill.
After various nights had been sug-
gested for special meeting,
Mr.. Mushbach moved that the sub
ject be made the special and contiuu-
ing order at the opening of the next
meeting OF the City Council which was
agreed to and after
Mr.. Kraft had introduced an crdi-
nance providing building regulations
and making the City Engineer building
inspector, the board adjourned.

The Poultry Business.

The raising of poultry on the farms
of the country is not as general as it
should be, nor is the subject ever given
a thought, as a rule, when figuring on
the most profitable or productive crops
to cultivate. 1t IS no secret that the
staple products furnish the smallest
profits for the investment Of money.
time end labor involved. The raising
of turkeys, chickens, geese and ducks
brings more money to the farmer or
farmers wife on the investment, than
anything else that can be named.
Rarely failure except through gross
neglect, they are always marketable at
a profit either alive or dressed; apart
from them the eggs alone bring in quite
a revenue. The favorable conditions
essential to success in raising other
crops are not demanded. and no good
excuse can be offered for not raising
more or less in every state in the union.
They are needed on every table so there
is always local as well as outside de-
mand for poultry and eggs, and hence
the elements of risk do not figure to
the extent visi BILE in other enterprises
