MONTERREY THE CHOICE.
THE CORBETT- FITZSIMNIONS MILL TO TAKE
PLACE HERE.


Arrangements are in progress to secure the
-Fitzsimmons fight in Monterey. The
Pullman Palace Car Company and the agents
of the Mexican International and the Southern
Pacific companies are earnestly working to
this end, and the Pullman Company is max
ing preparations for bringing to Texas suffi-
cient sleeping-cars to accommodate the crowd
and help the hotels out, by placing the cars at
the disposition of the eXcursionlsts during
their stay in Monterey Both Porfrio Dias
City and Laredo have been mentioned as
likely places, but the facilities afforded by the
Monterey Athletic Club completely placed
these points in the background, and there are
now no doubts to the ultimate selection of
Monterey by the committee of arrangements.
Notwithstanding this is a matter prohibited
by law, the government OF the State cannot be
too forcibly impressed with the importance OF
the benefits TO be derived from the advent OF
such a crowd as follow such occurrences. 1t
will advertise Monterey more than any other
thing that could happen, and bring anywhere
from Is 900 TO $4,000 visitors from all over
the United States, and at least 5000 more from
the southern part of Mexico. Say that each OF
these expended on an average $40 in gold dur
ing his stay in this city, and any one can easily
figure out Tor himself what a benefit Monterey
will derive from this gladiatorial contest.
Monterey is situated on the Mexican In
ternational Railway, short distance south
of the Rio Grande. 1t mas an American
population of nearly 1000, and is known as
the "Chicago of Mexico" being a most
prosperous manufacturing and mining
center, with enough energetic and enter
prising men to make arrangements for the
priZe-fght a complete success.

Says: ITO do splendid thing is
simply to do a common thing bet
ter than others do it." That is just
what we are doing. We are making
just as good picture frames at a
moderate price as can be made any
where. We give employment to
over 100 sober, industrious hands
in the making of frames and mold
ings alone, which shows that the
people are willing to patronize
home industry, providing that
home factories give as good an arti-
Gle at as low price as can be OBJ
tanned elsewhere. Six years ago,
when our factory was in its infancy,
thIrty-one travelling statesmen, rep
resenting thirty-one picture-frame
molding factories in the Eastern
States, arrived in this city Zone
each day. during the month of
January. During January of 1895
only three came. For the THINK
Err. comment is unnecessary.
Our factory is equipped with all
the best and latest machinery and
can turn out molding for the mill
lion just as good in quality and
lower in price than it can be landed
from factories on the Otner size.
Our pine lumber is cut to size and
to order in the mountains, and our
plain and quarter-sawed oaks come
in carload lots from the mills in the
woods where the oak tree grows.
In buying of US you not only give
employment to a large number of
your own people, but you get every
thing at first hands and at lowest
prices.
The things we make besides mold
ings for picture frames are room
holdings, mirror frames, drawing
boards, wood easels, artists stretch
ers, palettes, T squares, pine back
ing, plain and ornamented cornice-
poles, screens. hat racks, towel
racks and swinging mirrors.
Our factory is located at 10 to
72O Minna street. and our Store and
Salesrooms are located at TAI, 743,
745 Market street, opposite Grant
avenue, with Branches at Portland
and Los Angeles. Visitors always
welcome.

Two towns in Texas have been offering
all manner of inducements to the princi-

Only Twelve COunciImen Ventured
Out In the Cold Weather.
The Common Council tried to hold a ses-
sion, last evening, but the light attendance
was not conducive to business. Councilman
Costello was the only Democratic member
present and he was very r~eticent. He looked
lonesome and needed encouragement to re-
spond to the roll-call. Mayor Denny in
formed the Council that he has signed the
ordinance extending the time of delinquency
of the vehicle tax and repeating the PEN
atty clause, and also the one establishing a
South-side market in the rear of Council
mar Golfers saloon.
The city attorney informed the Council
that the city has three cases to fight in
other counties, which have been sent there
on changes OF venue, and he asked an ap-
preparation OF $500 for the purpose of retain
ING local counsel. An ordinance appropriate
ing that amount to the law department was
introduced and referred to the finance COM
mittee: An ordinance abolishing the position
or assistant custodian of Garfield Park was
introduced and sent to the same COMMITTEES.
The peddler ordnance, aimed at the ba-
mana men, came up but it failed to pass.
The ordinance prohibits peddling on the prin-
cipal sections of the downtown streets from
8 a. m. to z p. m. Councilmen Drew and
Furyear voted against the ordinance and
ten members for 1T. AS matters now stand
a new ordinance will have to be introduced
to accomplish the same purposes of the dead
ordinance.

Old man Holman, the famed objector, is
hlling a new role during the declining days
or his congressional career. Under the new
rules of the House objections are not as

cupied by others, SO that there is no longer
any distinction to be had in that line.

little part in the open debate of bills. He
expressed his objections, however, in a
unique and original way. He has for years
been a great consumer of tobacco, and as
he grows older the habit of chewing grows
upon him. When a man of any consequence
in the House takes the floor in advocacy of
a measure which Holman does not APP
prove land there is very little he does APP
prove of now he will find a seat as near as
possible to the speaker, and, leaning back
in the chair with his mouth full of tobacco,

remarks, taking them up at every point in
a tone loud enough to be heard all about

TRUSLER TALKS BACK
SAYS HE Has BORNE CRITICISM
LONG ENOUGH.
Gives Figures to Prove that His Econ
omy Was Not TO blame for Poor
Sewer Construction.

Controller TruSler resents the imputa-
ton that he is responsible for the poor
work done on public contracts, Mr.. Brown,
the engineer, intimated in his testimony
that If 1t had not been for the false economy
OF Mr.. Trusler, the engineers department
would have had enough inspectors to have
seen that all work was properly done. Yes
terddy a communication in the Journal
called attention to the same matter, and in
a manner upbraided Mr.. Trusler for his
course. 1t was with some show of indigna-
ton that Mr.. Trusler yesterday said to a
reporter:
Il don't see why I should be maligned
and criticised upon the testimony of Mr..
Brown. I said very little about it at the
time. but if anybody seriously thinks am
responsible for the poor work am going
to talk back. Now. the fact is, that the
appropriation for the engineers department
was so large that on Aug. 81 there was
an unexpended balance of 81, $40. During the
time that he was forcing vacations upon
Republicans only, without pay, on the
ground that he was short of funds, he had
available more than $1,000. He evidently
thought the Republicans laid off without
pay would raise such a fuss that nothing
more would be said about economy. / was
trying at that time to get him to cut down
TIE running expenses of his office. 1t was
ans, dHu Lit like IQdI i
objected to. The high salaried men and
the Democratic got their vacations, without
having their pay stopped. He saved prob
ably $500 in his efforts to make economy
odious, but did not cut his running ex-
penses. He could have kept all his men at
work and still have had remaining more
than $1,000 not used
The bad work reported by the commit
tee was done at a time when he had a
balance shows that he was not restricted

ton for the fiscal year, twelve months,
ending Aug. 81, 1894, was SIS, $50. 81, or an
average OF Sl.549 per month. His expendi-
lures were 81, SIS. 81, or an average Of ST.

average monthly expenditure for the four
months of $2,242. On Nov. II he asked $500
more. and this was refused. Immediately
all Republicans were discharged, with the
explanation that the controllers economy
would not allow their being retained. The
expenditures for his Office were SIG, 800. SO in
1888 and $1S,231.71 in 1894. 1t will be seen

The old board has been made by the
committee to take the responsibility for a

was responsible. The board members re-

faulted his bond. Simpson said he did not
know at the time that there was a con-
spiracy, but now he sees that cit all was a
put up job"
Last evening the board examined CAPTAIN
Campbell, Sergeant Crane and patrolmen
Asche and Mathe. The Captain said Simp-
son had refused to tell him about the ar
rest, saying he would make all necessary
explanations to. the superintendent. The
sergeant testified to much the same. Simp-
son seemed to think he had made a great
catch. Asche and Mathe said they saw
Simpson, previous to the arrest, at the
Union Station, talking to detectives Grady
and Jeffries. The board has made sure thar
neither OF them had police powers. The
board withheld it's decision for a time. Sinp-
son has been before the board a number of
times.
John Fox, captain of hose company No. 8.
and Strawder Glazier. captain of engine

and fell to the first floor. His injuries are
very painful, but he is not thought to be
fatally hurt.
