stated that windows but a few feet from

The board of county commissioners
did not complete ttioir labors yesterday ,
and adjourned until to-morrow. The
day was occupied in discussing the
smallpox cases. The county attorney
submitted a report on the matter , stat-
inir that before the county should pay
for the care of eases it must bo shown
that the patient is a resident of this
county and unable to pay himself. Tlio
question will be resumed to-morrow ,
and others of minor importance consid-
vc'red.
The twelve-minute service lias again
' , been established on tlio motor line , the
break in the machine at the horse
power house having been repaired.
The cars now leave each end of the line
at ten , thirty and lifty minutes aftorthe
hour , during the forenoon and until 1
o'clock , when extra cars are put on and
leave at eight , twenty , thirty-two , forty-
four and fifty-six minutes alter the hour
until 8 o'clock , when the thirty-minute
eervioe is again eslablihbcd , the last car
leaving each side at ten minutes after
midnight.
The method now in vogue of beating
the electric motor cars by means of gas
oline furnaces has not proved satisfac
tory , and stoves are lo bo substituted at
once. Thq oil furnaces failed to Iceep
the cars warm in many instances , and
in otbors the beat became unbearable ,
especially to those who happened to sit
directly over them. It is stated that
the beat from the stoves can be regu
lated more satisfactorily , heneo the
change. The stoves will arrive this
morning and will bo placed in the ears
as soon as possible.

Cold Day to ( Set Ijcl'l.
The match rncout Union driving park
jcsterday afternoon attracted more at
tention and a larger crowd than did
any of t'.ic great rneo meetings of the
past year. The time was slow , but that
was expected , still the races wore ox-
exciting , and everybody got the full
value of bis money. imiMiiucli as no ad
mission fee was charged. Money was
bet very liberally , on tbo quiet , and
some of the spectator enino home feel
ing quite sore , and with empty pockets.
The mercury fooling around the 120
mark , and a raw wind made it much
more uncomfortable. The track was in
a rather rough condition and fro/.en
hard. On the inside of the track was u
wide strip of fro/.eii ice and snow , and
the miles were made very long by being
compelled to Keep the outside. The
rnno which attracted the crowd , and the
only one that was expected , was the
match race for WOOu side , between Wil
liam Lino-burger's gray horse , /Am
Hay , and Pat Lucy's black
mare , Nellie McCarthy , best three in
live , mile heats , under national rules ,
.lust before the race another $100 was
put up by the owner.
The judges were : Dr. Macrae , starter ,
l.'harh's Gregorv and ( Jeorge Wisner.
The Ilrst heat was u walkaway for the
gray borne , and the mare was fairly
distanced , but the judges decided to let
her in. The second heat was a repeti
tion of the first , and another distance
followed , although the mare was run
from the head of the stretch to avoid it.
The heats and race wore given to the
gray in to ! : , U niid ; : ( ) < ) . The winner
was in good condition for a race , and
trotted well , but tbo mare was "nwav
oil''and did not show "a lick of speed.1 '
She is xvell bred , a daughter of Saturn ,
but suckled a colt until six weeks ago ,
and should never have been started.
She is a very good green horse , and
with proper treatment will do well
later. She was driven by Mr. Dullie ,
and the gray was guided by Adam
' .Thompson.
Tbo result of the race was not a sur
prise , as it was conceded by almost
everyone that the mare had not the
ghost of a chance.
The race was scarcely over when a
match was made and the money put up
for another nice for $500 aside , between
the mare , Nellie , and Dan C'arrigg's
pacing roadster , the race to take place
immediately , under tlio bamuconditions
as the other.
In twenty minutes the lirst heat was
called. Mr. Luke Wood succeeded Mr.
AVUnor as one of the judges , ( . 'barley
Wilson appeared behind the pacer.
Nearly everybody wanted to back the
marc , and they could not get their
money up fast enough.
The horses were very evenly matched
and after an exciting beat the pacer
went under the wire in iiiliiS. The
knowing ones professed no surprise ,
and claimed the next three for the
mare.
Alas for human hopes ! Mr. Thomp
son was put up behind tbo horse , and
took the next heat without beinir
headed in ! ? :10 : } . It was u close beat
and hardly contested. The crowd
howled and danced up and down , par
tially to keep warm and partly from
excitement.
The third heat was a repetition of the
second , and was won in U:02 : } by the
long-legged pacer. It was a cold day
for everybody but the Carrigg crowd ,
and especially cold for the Lacy sup
porters. Two races lost in one day and
$1,100 in cold cash made them look
rather blue. The other side was cor
respondingly happy and they madp the
night a lively one. Tlio event was cel
ebrated in the loudest style. Tt is some
thing unusual to sea a sulky race here
in January , but that is what was wit
nessed yesterday by hundreds of people.
Jt is not at all improbable that if the
line weather lasts thorp will bo another-
race before a great while. Yesterday's
races did not settle the matter by a good
deal , and somebody will either win or
loose a small fortune before it is over
with. _

Friday was the last day in which to
llle papers to come up at the next term
of the district court , and there was a
rush , but none of the cases were of
special interest. Sixteen of the casas
were to recover possession of lots in
Brown and Ferry additions. There tire
more of the squatter cases. Yesterday
several writs of attachment issued
against the stock qf groceries formerly
owned by Durlin Bros. , and recently
sold by them to 13. 13. Henry. It is
claimed that the defendants dispose. ] of
the stock for the purpose of defrauding

Hoard of Trade Proceeding ,
The board of trade mot last evening.
In the absence of President Wells , Mr.
F , II. Hill occupied the chair.
There being barely n quorum present ,
t was the sense of the board that the
organization should not olcct its olllcers
or the onbiiing year with BO small an
ittondanco , and it was laid over until a
subsequent meeting.
The matter of selecting a committee
o act with a committee of the common
council in the Lacy grievance was
discussed , Several members objected
.0 such a proceeding on thu ground that
is Mr. Lacy was not a member of the
ward the matter did not come properly
within their jurisdiction. AidMot -
calf thought the committee should bo
appointed. On motion the communica-
ion of the clerk , requesting iho ap-
mintment of this committee , was placed
m file. On motion of Leonard Everett ,
csq , , the clerk was instructed to ans-
ver the city clerk to the effect that the
> onrd does not think any investigation
necessary.
The matter of devising some method
of securing a larger membership
of the board , and a larger atJJ
ondanco at the meetings , was
discussed at length. Mr. Everett
moved that the membership fee be re
duced to $ : > . ) , without vo iHtion . am

The stalwart youngjfoilow who has

of good resolutions is not bothering
himself about the unnnrtukor , but he
should not "entirely ignore that useful
citixon.
What are the chances.of life ? The
life insurance men auil the mortality
tables answer the question with reason
able accuracy. Here arc a few ligures
collected by the Boston Globe. Wo
have on the earth about 1,000,000,000
people , the males and females being
about equally divided. Of these , one-
fourth die before they reach the age
of seventeen. The average length
of life is thirty-three years.
Ono person in 1,000 lives to be
one hundred years old , six in 100 reach
the aure of sixty-live , and not more than
one in oOO lives to see eighty. Every
year : ; 'I,0.'ti,0.'it : : persons die ; ! ) lS2l die
every day ; : > , ! ) 'JO every hour ; GO every
minute , and I every second. Each
tick of the clock should remind us that
a human life is ended.
In addition to these facts there are
others of equal interest. A married
person lives longer that one that is
single , and tall men live longer than
short ones. Before the ago of fifty ,
woman lias more chances of life than
men , and fewer chances after that ago.
With these points before him , the
young man who has sworn oil' and re
solved to capture his sharp of the
world's good things this year
will have something to think about.
There are many chances that be
will see this year go out , and there are
also many chances that ho will go out
Jirst. His very determination to join in
tbo rush for the prize most desired by
all men is against him. Haste , worry
and disappointment are lilling our asy
lums and graveyards. The contented
worker , whoso ambition is moderate
and whose habits neither injure him
nor anybody else , has ti bettor chance of
reaching old ago than his competitor
who wants the earth.
Tick ! goes the clock. Ono man dead !
Who will bo the next ? Perhaps the
man that heard the clock !
Ireland' Valued Products.
Boston Globe : Among the various
textile products of Irish manufacturing
skill the most extensively known is the
justly celebrated Irish frieze. Its man
ufacture has come down from time im-
moinorfnl.
The chief features which distinguish
frieze from all other cloths are its abso
lute lmporvlousncs.4 to rain and its ex
traordinary durability. In these it re
sembles the famous blankets of tbo
Navajo Indians. Of coiirso , we are now
speaking of real Irish frieze , not the
counterfeit article which Ms now quite
plentiful in our American markets.
Nothing but wnshetf wool of the
largest and strongest IJbur is used. It
is lirst dyed , and nftorwjird , when spun ,
is doubled so as to njf/Jmblo / yarn in
fact , it is a softly spun .wooolon yarn
which has not been treated by acids in
any manner , BO that the whom natural
strength of the wool llbon , remains un
impaired. This yarn isi ttien woven ,
after which it is put through the thick
ening or tucking process , as it is
termed. This latter' ' is. practically a
somewhat prolonged Dishing or sous
ing of the cloth in a carj5fuly | prepared
solution slowly heated Up to the boiling
point , and then as slowly cooled again ,
The Until operation is the dressing
and finishing of the goods. From this
brief explanation it will bo perceived
in what the chief points of the excel
lence of Irish frieze consists. Dyed in
the wool , the color is permanent ; un
treated by acid , the natural virility of
the wool-llbor is preserved. A. Shu-
man of Boston , who saw the whole
process in its various stages while in
Ireland last summer , although already
strongly prepossessed in favor of those
goods , grew still more interested in
them from witnessing the c ro and at
tention given to their manufacture , and
largely increased his ordorsof last year.
Ho expressed himself to an interviewer
of the Daily Freeman's Journal ( Dublin )
thus : "Wo find that .the Irish woolen
goods are the strongest fabrics , and
therefore wo plve thorn the preference
over the other goods imported fron
Europe. "
That Irish frieze is becoming the lead
ing fashionable material for the Cotlir
More overcoats rnd ulsters is quiti
evident from the many imitations of i
with which the marKotn are Hooded
But whoever wishes for an over-gar
ment possessing durability in color , In
wear , and absolute Imperviousness tc
ruin , however long continued , to him
wo say be sure Hint you procure a genu

There Is : i broad-Hliouldered , dark-
complexioned man in Chelsea , Mass. .
who it is claimed is the strongest man
in the county , < f not in the slate. He
has been a physical giant from boyhood.
When a inoi-o youth , says the Boston
Globe , he used to amust < himself by lift
ing a barrel of Hour , putting iu on his
shoulder , and carrying it around the
block. Later he wonhl shoulder a bar
rel of sugar and carry it up two flights
of stairs autl bring it down again just
for the fun of it.Vhon he was twenty-
one years of tigo ho celebrated his
coining of ago by lifting- sot of quarry
cart wheels , Including axle and pole ,
and lugging the whole lot. weighing
1,100 pound ? . : t quarter of a mile.
After that his feats of strength
were numerous , llo held two men ,
weighing 100 pounds each , at arm's
length , holding one on each hand.
Bonding big crowbar * " 11111 ! pulling up
sapling trees MX inches through by the
roots were ordinary pas-times for this
young Samson.
The crowning feat of hi- < lifo hap
pened it few years ago , when bo was a
carpenter and worked on a new block
then building in Chelsea. The. work
men had been trying to hoist a big iron
girder into place on the second story.
The girder had square edges and
weighed 1MMI , pounds. The ropes
which had been placed around it were
cut in two by the sharp edges JH FOOII tu
the tackle was hauled taut. Finally , in
desperation the foreman sent for a
haiii. While the man was gone Mr.
Houston shouldered the girder and
took It up the ladder and placed it in
position.
"It hurt my shoulder Mime , ' ' said he ,
when telling of his performance , "but
outside of that I felt no iiieonvience. I
have novel1 lifted in harness , and do not
know how much I could take up , but I
have an idea that I could lift as much
as Or. Winship over did if 1 tried. 1
am a workingman : md have no time for
such fooling.1 His muscles are as hard
as knots and he looks the picture of
manly strength and muscular perfec
tion.
Cnra l-'or South America.
The ( "ilobe-Doinoerat correspondent
was in formed that u contract had boon
placed with tlio Baldwin locomotive ,
works for thirty of their best engines ,
ranging in price from > rSllO or $ ! > ,000 to
$12,01)0 ) each , and that contracts had
also been awarded to other linns for the
construction andshipmentof ! iIO ( freight
and passenger cars to the Argentine
Republic. The entire contract in each
case is to he completed and the goods
shipped by July 1 , ISM ) . Tlio loeomo-
tivcsatan average valuation of $10.000
each , and the cars , freight and passen
ger , at the low valuation of $1,000 each ,
would make this one transaction foot up
to no lc-,3 than 5 < iOO.OO ( ) with the
.chances and probabilities of its going tea
a round million.
"Now York , however , cannot hope
for much continuous trade from the
Argentine Kopublic. for many reasons , "
said tbo reporter's informant. "Tlio
English are our greatest competitors in
the trade and they have the aflvantage
of perhaps twenty steamships prjr month
running between Buenos Ayres and
European ports , while between Now
York and the Argentine capital there
are perhaps four or less. Another
reason why New York cannot expect
much trade is because freight rates
from hero are much higher than from
England. While the cost of imiiui-
facuiro of any given article of com
merce is much less in England than in
America , tlio dilTercncc in price of arti
cles wanted by the Argentine mer
chants being about 40 per cent higher
in America than in England. Then ,
again , nearly all the [ Englishmen there
have their own business houses , or
branch houses of English or other Euro
pean linns. They make their own col
lections , allow credit and accommoda
tions to their customers , as may be re
quired , while on the other hand New
York merchants require a banker's
credit or the cash before goods arc
shipped. All railroad supplies tire
cheaper in England than they are here.
Thus all manner of rolling stock are.
with a few exceptions , supplied the
country by English manufacturers. In
some cases it is stipulated that tno largo
locomotives of the American system
shall be used , and now and then some
are ordered in this country ; but now
that the English manufacturers have
produced engines for railroad uses in
the exact pattern of our locomotives
they can purchase them very much
cheaper in England than hero. "
