RUNNING OVERTIME At THE HO-
NOLULU IRON WORKS.
Many Important Contracts-An In
Jobs Handled-More Rush i'm Sight.

During the past three months busi-
picked up wonderfully. Never before
in years has such hammering, clink-
ing and humming of machinery been
heard as is now to be noticed in the
nest of big brick buildings around the
corner at Nuuanu and Queen streets.
In some shops the force has been
doubled. In the blacksmith depart
ment. five men are now employed
where there were lately but two. All
of the shops carry more men, and in
all of them the hum of business is con-
stantly kept up.
The reason of this large increase of
business and the smile of Manager
Hedemann is perhaps the improve
ments being made in plantation ma
chinery and the increasing demand
for modern appliances. Large con-
tracts have piled up during the Sum-
mer from several of the most extern
appliances of few years ago and are
coming over to the new ideas.
These are some of the contracts
filled by the Iron Works during the
past two months: Five Honolulu Iron
Works sugar mills-four three roller
and one two-roller; engines, gearing,
etc. for same; two large vacuum pans,
II to 20 tons each; one same, smaller
size, three cells for addition to double
effect: eight mammoth boilers, six of
which were for plantations; large
triple effect for Paia mill now being
shipped out; 90-foot tank for mo-
losses, weighing forty tons, for Paau-
hau plantation; boilers and repair
work for the steamers Mikahala and
John A. Cummins. This in addition
to the raft of smaller jobs that have
constantly poured in.
The five sugar mills referred to are
in process of construction. They are
a compromise between the big mill in
use at Eva and a pattern formerly
gotten out by the Honolulu Iron
Works, and are considered by the de-
signers an improvement on both. The
big shafts are now being placed and
all of the mills will be ready for the
coming season.
The busiest season is yet to come.
As the grinding season draws near
rush contracts will begin to come in.
Several large orders are now in sight
with many more to follow. 1t is cal
culated that in the next two months
the works will turn out more machin-
The mechanics of the city have
reaped great benefit from the rush.
Every one available who could per-
form the duties required has been en-
ployed and as many as twelve new
men have been imported from San
Francisco. The latter have come as
extra help. No former employees were
let out to make room for them. For
six weeks the Works have run stead
lily up to p. m. every day. Prior tc
that time the closing hour was
o'clock
With the increase in manufacturing
the amount of casting to be done has
augmented. AT present the Works
casts three times week with ten tons
of iron and some brass at cast. This
is unprecedented in the history of the
institution.

LOGAN COUNTY'S MESSIAH.
He Drinks Beer in the Interim
 Between His Sermons.

A man calling himself the second
 Messiah and hailing from Logan
 County is now preaching on our by ways and highways in an endeavor to prepare our citizens fort the ending of the world which he says willcome about in 1898, says the Fort Smith
 Democrat. He dropped into the Texas Corner saloon by way of diversion the other morning
 and at once began to preach repen- tence to the sinners who were lettering around that neighborhood.
 He told them that he was the last great profit that would come to
 them, that he would perform greater miracles than Christ ever performed, and prophesied unto them that there
 would be two full moons in this
 month, which was q sign that the world had about run its course, that there would be another presi-
 dent elected, but he would never take his seat, that a great war l would soon break ont in which all the nations of the earth would be Involved, and which would only cuIminate in the ending eT tic world l h 1858. " hen he reiuiir;i the heights

A NEW ORDINANCE CHANGES THE
 STOPPING PLACES
Of Street Cars and Related Passengers Walt on the Wrong Corner and Manufacture "Cuss-
 Words"

CHICAGO, Jan.2.-A source of much amusement to people on the streets today was offered to the ludicrous mistakes and many heated contro- versies caused by the enforcement of 8 new ordinance passed by the City Council, which became effect i've yesterday. The new ordinance provides that all cable and electric cars shall stop for passengers on the near side of the street-erossings, the previous custom having been to stop on the far side. Although COZ spieuous notices of the proposed change was made for several weeks comparatively few people remem- bered the fact and many were the grumblings and mutterings this morning as car after car shot by the belated business man who stood waiting on his accustomed corner. The object of the change is to lessen the danger of accidents at crossings, and was prompted by the invasion of the down town district by the trolley lines.

"A TURKISH BATH"
PhysIoians Recommend the Plunge as a
 Panaeea for Human Ills

Physicians have declared that a Turkish Bath is panaeea for almost every human ill. This referred to the process through which one goes in an institution full of furnaces, sluices, shower baths and iron wristed individuals who scrub and knead the unfortunate "bather' into inconsistencies. The Turkish Bath" which will be seen at the Opera-house Saturday night, Janu- ary 4, is one out of the heordinary. It is what may be termed a mental Turkish bath, performing for the nerves and spirits all that the ortho- dox bath does for the body. 1t takes up dull care and throws it away-itrevives the dropping spirits, makes one forget all trouble. There is nothing but constant round Of laughter from beginning to end, with not one dull moment. The play is a medley of fun, ludicrous situations and light nonsense gen erally. There is Q real live dude, an Irish policeman, two amateur actors, two stage-struck girls, doting father, an uncle and a madcap little girl so absurdly mixed up with one another as to form fun producing combination at whose antics the most dyspeptical cannot help laugh ing. Little Dot is the life of all this She is winsome little thing bub- bling over with wit, seems never to tire, and is as good natured as she is good humored. The policeman is convulsingly funny, the darkey is excellent; the whole company is ex- ceptionally bright and clever In short the show is a good one and bound to please. The Turkish Bath" will be an agreeable suprise to our theater- goers.

Governor Clarke being the last to affix hissignature As stated in the Democrat last Sunday, the contract is for the em- ploment of about 25O state convicts on the company's plantation near Wrightsville on the share system. The terms are practically identical with the plan on which Sunnyside has been worked.
 Secretary Lockhart left today for the plantation to arrage for getting out the timbers to build the stock ade, which will be completed in about fifteen days. The company will put in saw at once and push matters to a speedy consummation.
 The penitentary board will prob- ably meet Friday for the disposition of convicts yet uplaced.

A FlRsT-cLAss CITY AND A MlseR-
 ABLE THlRD.cLAss PEN.
Five Prisoners Make Their Escape from
 the City Prison Last Night

The first-class city of Pine Bluff at this time has no city prison. Last evening it had q structure which was called by that name, but it was disgrace to our community, and would have been to third-class town. During the evening the police department made five arrests and the violators of the law were incar- cerated on the second floor of the calaboose (the first floor being unfit for use owing to the fact that only q short while ago Q prisoner burnt a hole in the floor and made his escape Trough it). During the night the five inmates of the prison concluded that they would like to have their liberty on the first day of the New Year, so they at once set about knocking q hole through the brick walls. This was soon accom- plished and all of the inmates made their escape. This morning two of the prisoners appeared at the police headquarters and surrendered them selves. The other three, however, left for parts unknown, and sent word to Chief Stewart that they had gone to Texas.
 It is high time that the City Coun- cil Was taking steps to build re- spectacle and suitable city prison. ltis badly needed, and the city is just as able te build such an insti- tuition now US she will ever be. It is folly to talk of securing the brick structure in the Court house yard, for a prison, for, in the first place, 1t is in every way unsuited for that purpose, and again, it is in too pub lie place, and were the structure used for that purpose, the noise made by the drunken inmates would interfere greatly with the peace and quietness of the Courthouse off cials.

quickly dispersed to their homes,
 greatly mystified at the change in
 the program. For their benefit the GRAPHIC will state that during the
 afternoon the groom received a telegram announcing that his mother was seriously i'll. This news so disturbed him that when ne re- paired to the home of his bride he discovered that he had forgotten to secure the necessary marriage license. It was then almost time for the wedding ceremony and be- fora he could go and get the necessary papers it was quite late. On his re- turn the excitement incident to the wedding had made his bride quite sick, so it. was deemed best, under the circumstances, to have the performed at the house. The family and contracting parties deeply regret disappointing their friends.

CAPTURED 4 PRIZE,
JEFFERSON COUNTY AGAIN COMES FORWARD THROUGH THE Ex- cELLENeY OF HER
 PRODUCTS.
MT. J M. Hudson Awarded the Third Prize at the Avery Corn
 Contest.

Jefferson county, through the in- strumentalitY of Mir. J. NJ. Hudson, of this city, has again gained a repu- tation as a corn producing county, which will be of vast benefit, not only to the county, but to the entire State as well.
 some months ago the great firm of B. r. Avery < Sons, of Louisville, Ky, manufacturers of blows and cultivating implements, organized what was known as the Avery Prize Corn contest, and agreed to award three prizes-first, second and third-to the planters who would exhibit six oi tine finest ears of corn grown on single acre of land.
 Mr. J. NJ. Hudson entered the con test and forwarded a half-dozen ears of his famous "Conscience" corn to the exhibit. On yesterday he re. leeived the following letter, which is self-explanatory;
 LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 31, 1895. Mir. J M. Hudsrn, Pine Blntf Ark
 DEAR SIR-It affords us much pleasure to inform you that the judges in the Avery Prize Contest have awarded you third prize for the State of Arkansas, and considering the number of entries lin the exhibit is worthy of special mention that from the many excellent samples submitted, it required very careful inspection for the judges to decide to whom the prize should be given ac- cording to their merits, and taking the exhibit as whole, they all pre- sented a very high average of corn.
 Sincerely Yours,
 B. F. AVERY X SONS,

LIKELY ID BE
 A CANDIDATE.  Hon Junius Jordan Not Ayers To Occupying the Guber
 national Chair.
9is Pine Bluff Friends Have Promoted His Boom and Are Waiting For the Word from
 Him.

During very recent visit to Pine Bluff, says the Arkansas Gazette, Hon. Junius Jordan, State Superintendent of Public In strnction, was feted and toasted by many of his old friends and neigh bors who were desirous of pushing along the Jordan gubernational boom. Prof. Jordan was called up- on by his entertaines to announce his intentions in the race for the Democratic nomination for Govern or in order that they might put themselves actively to work in his behalf. Prof. Jordan did not tell them that he would or would not be a candidate, but gave out that he had the matter under consideration and would reach conclusion soon.
 A call at the Department of Public Instruction at the State Capitol yesterday ny Gazette reporter elicited the information that Prof. Jordan had received letters from all parts of the State urging him to announce hiscandidacy. The Superin- tendent was seen and asked ne conld give a definite answer to. the general qnery, .Is Jordan going to run2' He replied that he was not quite ready to reply, though he was Tree to express appreciation of and gratitude for the numerous flatter- ing solicitations he had received.
 "i am waiting to see what the big fellows are going to do." laughingly remarked Prof. Jor- aay.
 May be they are waiting on you, suggested the reporter.
 Prof. Jordan then intimated that fhere would not be any long waiting to find out what he intended to do. The reporter gathered from his cheerful discussion of the subject that the Superintendent would very likely be very much pleased to surrender the Department of Public instruction, with it's exacting duties, lts wholly inadequate salary of sl 600 for the hard work performed, lnorder to- shy his castorin theringfor doyernor. Some of his friends feel quite sure that he will be in the race.
 Prof. Jordan left yesterday after noon for Hot Spring to attend the big educational meeting which be- gins there today. It is reported shat the Arkansas teachers will endeavor to secure his election as hresldent of the Southern Educa- tional Asso .iation.

He took the bottle and im- bibed freely. after which he took his departure, telling the boys to look out for 1898.
