MARDI GRAS RATES
SOUTHEASTERN ROADS DEvrATE
FROM THEsR AGREEMENT.
Mobile nnd Ohio Put I" Rate Of
Ten Dollars from
81. LOuis.

Chicago, February l5y.--Ratcs are being
cut for the Mardi Gras at New orlcans
and the chances seem TO be that there will
be some cheap excursion tickets sold dur
ing the month OF March. The agreed
price from Chicago for tho Mardi Gras was
S25. The Mobile and Ohio road has an
rouneed that II viii make a rate of $40 for
the round tiip from 81. Louis TO Mobile.
The Alton at once announced that IT would
use this rate for baslng purposes, and the
other roads of the Western Passenger asso-
citation Interested In the traffic at once
said that they would do The same. This
means a round trip between Chicago and
Mobile for about si7, as against Sa5, The
rate agreed on for the Mardl Gras. All ot
the interested roads viii make the low ratio
and excursions 10 the South are likely to
he much cheaper than the reeds had any
iGca of when they agreed upon the rates
to the Mardi Grns II Is hard TO see how
the roads can maintain ratio OF S25 for
the round trip between Chicago and New
Orleans when the round trip rate betwesli
Chicago and Monte Is SIS lower.

BUT TWO CASES DISPOSED OF BY
JUDGE BALL THIS MORNING.
The Monday morning session Of Mu-
nicipal Court was not as largely at
tended, as is usually the case, as but
two prisoners appeared in the dock.
Edward McGlbney was arrested on
night and after being taken to
the City Hall acted in a very disor-
derby manner and 1t was necessary for
the officers to overcome him before
placing him in cell. After being lock
ed up he assaulted his fellow prisoners,
one Of whom, Jonas Heck, he threw a
bucket OF water over. He was fined $40
and costs by Judge Ball this morning
on a charge OF drunkenness and disor-
derby conduct
William, alias Bonnie" Harris, was
held in 5000 bail for a hearing to-mor-
row night on a charge Of the larceny
Of a crate of eggs about a month ago.
Yesterday morning Dennie Bradley
was fined $40 and costs for disorderly
conduct. Jonas Heck, John Cast Rob
ert Bradley and James Council, drunk,
were each fined 81 and costs.

ADDlcKs OR NOBODY.

Addicks need place no reliance in
the caucus. He cannot be elected
United States senator, and all that he
can do is to prevent the election Of
any other man.
We hear a great deal said about the
election OF Mr.. Gray. DO those who
give utterance to such prophecies tor
get the deadlock OF four years ago?
The Democrats then gave the Republi-
cans and Addiclsites every opportu-
nifty to vote for a Democrat to break
the deadlock. They offered Hon.
James l.. Wolcott and other good men,
but the journal of the eession will not
show where any Republican or Adj
dicksite member voted for a Demo
crat. Neither will anything Of the
sort happen this time. 1t will not be
Addicks and will be. most likely, no
body. The Friends OF Addicks claim
sixteen of the thirty-one votes in eau

will his sixteen votes avail him? I'll,

The real reasons for Democratic de-
feat in Delaware are that many men
who were formerly Democrats voted
the Republican ticket without any con-
sideration, and many others for a con-
sideration. Now those who voted with
out any consideration are giving the
Democratic party lots of gratuitous ad-
vice. while those who voted for a con-
sideration are congratulating them
selves that their names still continue
to be printed in the Union Republican
book of shame and corruption, and
praying that there may be no end to
the measure OF the biennial bounty Of
Addickeism.

The Frienaeh.p Fire Company's en-
CINE, which arrived on Wednesday last
from the works Of the La France Com
pany, Of Elmira, n. Y, was given a
thorough test on Saturday last.
When the members Of the company
left their house, at 1 O'Clock Saturday
afternoon, it was their intention to
make the trial Of the apparatus at the
foot Of West street along the Brandy
wine Upon reaching this place, how
ever, it was found that the dead leaves
so interfered with the suction pipes
thar a satisfactory test could not be
made and the engine was taken to
Fourteenth and West streets and a plug
stream test made.
The result was a stream being
thrown ESQ feet with IA inch nozzle,
and 220 pound water pressure; $50 feet

pound water pressure, and 272 feet
through a ~ inch nozzel, with 240
pound water pressure.
The steamer was then taken TO the
Cool Spring reservoir, where with a
twenty foot suction pipe and 1870
pounds water pressure a stream
was thrown $50 feet, actual
measurement. A second test will be
made on Thanksgiving morning
though the members of the company
are so well pleased with the rebuilt ap-
paratus that w. c. R. Moore, of the La
France works, who came on to super
intend the putting together Of the ma
chine, was presented with a check in
fun for the amount of the repairs.
At the engine house Saturday even
irg the members of the company gave
a luncheon to their friends in honor CT
their new steamer. Speeches by prOmi-
nent fremen, songs and dances by
members of the company were among
the features of the evening, and all de-
parted at a late hour, satisfied that the
Friendship Fire Company knew how to
use their friends. Mr.. Moore left for

How would it do for the Regular Re
publicans to show their independence
OF Addicks by combining with the
Democrats to organize the House? We
believe that unless they do something
OF that kind the recognition which
they receive from the Addlcksites will
be inadequate and unsatisfactory. The
combination between the Regulars and
the Democrats in the organization Of
the Constitutional Convention worked
satisfactorily and was mutually bene-
fetal.
