wtstboit 110,000, and tald ha would like to tee tlie attorney tp forward who would take thete ulU, "beat" the case and take bait tbe money. There are bereral member of tbe ctuiiell who think the bond-holders can he beaten now la the time to do it. The Mayor said as the auits had been com. monced since the lust meeting of the council, the city attorney and hinmelf had attended to the case an was necessary to keep It in court, and were now en paired in jre purlin the pletiH, hav. Infilled "the general Uaue." SometiiliiK had to be dime and they had bo attended to the cane that the city could now defend if it choose to do so.

There one trouble, with the iuiU, the umouiita Ileitis Irus than there can be no appeal from tlie decision of the I'. S. Circuit Court where they have been brought. The attorney said there were some new point iu these cases: Hackctt claimed in I NTS to own thfce bonds, whereas now there are six dillereiit owners; the record of the council uuthorl.inj; tlie issue of the bonds is very defective, no record of ayes and noes or the ordinances bavin been kept, cvc. He thought tlie council should authorize a defense; for as Mr.

Karnes lias sold his bonds, there can now be no settlement of them. On motion of Hull the Attorney aA Mayor were authorized to miike a defense. Mr. Catlin said that Mr. Eamcs had told him that not Ion ii since some one eame to him and made him an olfer for his bonds and those of the In mw if Milt flirt.

I hilt. lirill the attempts at settlement, it became evident to him, from the fact that injunction proceedings were begun to prevent a settlement, that the pay. mcnts by the city would bo attended with con-stant litigation in the way of injunctions, Ac, he bad disposed of all tlie bonds and had received his money. He snid the party did not live here, nor was he but client of Judge Kldredge, who was attorney for Mr. Hackett; but was a resident of another state who had heard of the case and bought the bonds on speculation.

Some of these bonds have five years to run and of course draw 10 per cent, interest. They will probably be sued on separately. The Mayorsaid that according to a decision of the U. S. Supreme Court the bunds past due can draw only 6 per cent.

In case the city is beaten, which seems probable, this failure to compromise will cost the city not less than it in believed. OU.T. Logan said the oil lamp at Shabbona square was a tremenr.ous consumer of oil. The lamp was put up by the the oil to be furnished by the city and a neighbor was to light it. Said lady in charge draws two gallons of oil per month five time as much as Is used hy tlie lamp at Columbus street bridge, which burns iglit, and consumes but one trillion per niuntli.

The engineer, who supplies the oil, was ordered to Investigate. BILLS. Among the bills were fl to Nattinger for pub lishing notices for street and alley committee; 147.50 for lighting and cleaning street lamps in December; 1.75 for washing for tire department sleeping rooms; 12.22, fixtures for otreet lamps; $23, gas for city hall December and $114.75 for street lamps; $11.40, boarding tramps and pris oners; $10, washing hose; $04.71 for lumber, of this $40.23 is in payment of rent of the public landing, used by II. A. Shuler as lumber yard; $4307 for horse feed; $402.50 for salaries, and $183.15 for street labor.

The attorney said Dug. had been fined and had appealed. Iu the county court tbe city moved to quash the bond, because of the insufficiency of the securi ties. Judge Miller dismissed the appeal and or dered a vrreetuwlo. Streetcr can't be arrested for these cost only for those of the justice.

It is nnderstoad he lias paid $4, iu which case let them be applied' to these costs and arrested for the costs below. The bill was not paid. COU'MIIUS BTHEET lUUlMiE. Last siimmjr one of H. 8.

In accordance with the suggestion of the May-tr it was agreed and so ordered that all motions or resolutions on the subject of a settlement of the water power bouds matter be rescinded. Adjourned. The Sunday Ordinances. Editors Free Trader The question of the enforcement of our Sunday ordinances is talked about to much and to little is done about enforcing them that It has led me to examine tlie in a little. And I think as they now stand it is almost impossible to enforce them.

1 here one clause In the ordinance that can and it enforced occasionally. Section six (6), page 144, Revised Ordinances, reads as follows: If any person shall be found in a state of Intoxication iu any highway, street or alley, public ground or other place within the limits of this city, CTcry person so offending shall, upon cm. Tiction tnereor, oe tinea in a sum not exceeding twenty-five dollars. Now, this it tbe only section of tbe law that our authorities ever pretend to enforce. I be lieve that it is an established principal in law that anyone in whose possession stolen goods property is found, such person or persons are fctld to be the thief unless he or they can give a satisfactory account of how or where he or they came iu possession of them.

Now, when a man is found drunk on the streets on the Sabbatb, be is simply the custodian of contraband or stolen geods, and I knew no reason why he should not have an opportunity to prove where he came in possession of tbe and thus prove who the riginal Aw-brcakers are. Let us have an crdi- nance that will make all those found drunk i'h-ia the citt limit on the Sabbath a wittier- for the people against the original law-breaker that first violated tbe ordinance and made it possible for his unfortunate customer to become drunk. Suppose we had an ordinance something like this: Any person or persons found in a state of intoxication within the limits of this city on tl.e Sabbath, or tlie first day of the week, shall be held in custody In the jail or calaboose until be, he, or they testify for tbe people against the party or parties guilty of ioiatlng the ordi nances of the city by selling them liquor on the Sabbath and the party or parties so convicted of violating the city ordinances shall in addition to the tines imposed upon them by the ordinance for their violation bo compelled to pay the fine of the party or parties arrested en the charge of intoxication. I think an ordinance of this kind would be just and legal, and would make It possible to enforce tlie Sunday ordinances; and I believe It would meet the views of the better class of the saloon keepers and would protect them from the odium heaped upon their business by the actions of their unscrupulous competitors. As the law now exists, luid the utmost Impossibility of enforcing it against tlie transgressor, all saloonkeepers arc looked upon us a class of luw-breuk-era the innocent with the guilty.

I submit these few suggestions on this question for the consideration of our city fathers, point ing (as I think) iu tlie direction of something practicable and capable 'of being incorporated into an ordinance that would be of some benefit to tlie community and capable of being en forced.

MAMFACTtKING. Nome of tlie Shops DIIW Ottawa. in Operation in TAUT I. We began this week the work of preparing tin article on Ottawa's manufacturing enterprises delayed several weeks by the crush of work in our job rooms, which called all hands, "subs" and editors to the "case" night And day. AVe intended to make but one article of the business, but find the subject considerably more extended than most people Imagine.

The subject is one of considerable interest, es. pecially at this time when a few people (who persisteutly refuse to be sneered down laughed, or ridiculed from their purpose or to consider them selves abused for their palusj are making some sort of an effort to attract atteation to the advantages of Ottawa as a manufacturing point. The aim of these articles (there will be two or three if not more on this or kindred subjects) is not to puff" any particular establishment or to paint them In glowing colors to humor our self- pride, but to show just what Ottawa has already, pointing out the diversity of her industries as an index of what could be done by increase of capital of existing shops or by entirely new establishments. We shall not attempt, as we at first contemplated, showing what has been doneduriug for in most cases the werk was unsatisfactory. And in describing the state of aflairs now, (judging from the establishments we have thus far visited.) we shall more nearly arrive at the capacity of our shops, since all are more or less "picking up" and getting back to where they were iu 1)S72 or 1873, say.

GLASS MAKING. We believe it can be truthfully said that there is no more lavorably located city iu the west for the manufacture of glass. The sand used, ob-tained just northwest of the Fair Grounds, is of a superior quality, making a better colored glass than the best Vittsburg product from any one of her 20 acres of class factories. We have at hand no data now on the subject, but we believe it was determined at tlie time the. works were built that the Ottawa sand was the best theu known iu tlie United States, excepting that of one locality in Massachusetts.

It certainly vastly better than that used in I'ittsburft. The La Salle works were forced to come to Ottawa for sand, which is ob tained on the north side of the canal, and the New Albany, plate glass works haul from Kendall county a quulityfor their use inferior to this of Ottawa. The local supply is unlimited The fuel used Is obtained iu Strcator a most excellent quality of coal for glass making The Ottawa Glaus Company was organized in 1S()7oii $50,000 capital with lieu. J. 1).

Catoii as president; Thos. D. Catlin Is secretary and tress urer; II. A. Coles, book-keeper.

The first batch was blown in April 1S0S, there being then eight pots, we believe. In 1873 the second furnace was built, but in August the first, which was of wood, and was burned, but rebuilt at once. In the doubled establishment (at the erossiug of tbe H. A Q. and R.

I. roads) there were 10 pots until the furna ces were renewed for this season when four more were added. There are now 20 pots. Tlie fac tory employs about 140 hands, 20 of whom are blowers, the rest being helpers, pot makers, flattcners, cutters, box-makers, packers and laborers of all kinds. To these men are paid near ly per month in wages, and as the blow iug continues 10 mouths in the year, the money poured into Ottawa merchants' pockets by wa ges of this one establishment is not less than flOO.tXK) per annum The clay used for pots is brought from Missou ri, but that used for furnace stones, is had on the Vermillion, La Salle county.

The preduct of the factory is from 60,000 to 70.000 50-feet boxes. It find a ready sal as fast us it is made, although the fuctwry employs no traveler or agent. It goes to the west and north wos ten states, vast quantities being used by sash makers, who now glaze sash before shipping. Their old agent at Chicago is also a heavy customer, and not long since sent in one order of above 50 car loads 15,000 boxes! Like all other industries, this is much healthier since the spriug of 187'.) and the trade has been a brisk one. STAKCII MAKING.

We have but lately sketched the works of the Illinois Starch Company, but we will take space for a hasty mention now. Tbe company was organized in 1852, when the factory, located on the basin was built. Tbe company is now oflicercd by Hon. J. D.

Caton, president, L. II. Kanies, treasurer; C. A. Caton, book-keeper, and P.

and 11. J. McGianis, superintendents. The works, with out-buildings and yards, cover 10 acres; the main building is 300x300 feet, seven stories high about 150 bands are employed, drawing above $3,000 monthly iu wages. Six water wheels move the machinery, the power coming from the hydraulic basin; the drying kilns are heated by steam; while tlie water used (which must be of tbe purest) comes from an enormous spring in Smith Ottawa.

The product is a little over 10 ion- daily of laundry and taMe starch. Tbe good are knowa to the market as the "I'eerless Gloss" Tor the laundry and "I'eerless Corn Starch" fur table use. Of late we have teen this item going the rounds of the papers: The starch factory at Ottawa are buying their corn in Iowa, because Ottawa business men do uol handle their starch. They now propose to run a branch store to feed their employes. It was started by the assinine genius wins pre sides over the columns ot our lillipullan cotcmp.

known as the Timrt, who in a darning article threatened Ottawa merchant (because they, as lie claimed, did not sell Ottawa starch.) with the establishment of a truck store and of the factory's buying corn in Iowa. Both these facts, as well as the f.t. ment that the liiuss Factory would also start a truck store, were manufactured out of whole false in every particular save this: Tbe factory did this season buy 4,000 bushels of mm in Ia btcause it could not be obtained ut home. The ruads were bad, the factory was out of the con they were compelled to have; so Mr. Clin.

Catna did tbe only thing possible to be done urn where he could get it; that is, bought in Iocs. The management never had anr idea of starting a truck store, never had any intention nl timing all tuelr corn ououae oi uiiawa. Fur tin ruiore to most people tlie Mea ol trying llttav anUra Ints 1 1n ir I It ta wk kt are i I (which in point of fact Ottawa dealer do do) is ridkukius. To a factory turniug ut upward! of ten tuns of starcb daily, wbal moment tbe trade Ottawa, wtiicb In a year wauki not con sume half a day' run. Anybody but the a.

jr. foresaid would tee the rldiculousnest of tbe position aaslgued tbe Starcb Company. Tbe product of the establishment, 10 tons a day, the year around, as they now propose to run, is shipped all over the country (especially to the east) and to Europe. Vast quantities are sent to eastern paper mills, It being the best starch for paper making in tbe world. AGKltTl.Tl HAL IMPLEMENT.

Just east of the Glass Works, between Marquette street and the Km Island railroad, (which track it iust at their north door.) aro the shops of King, Hamilton one of the three largest i establishments of the city. They have been In operation many vears and have made for their owners great fortunes, the three principal owners being worth, at the lowest figure, not lets than a quarter of a million each "ut hard times prices." The shops, two stories high, with stors houses, lumber yards, olllce, cover the greater part of a block. They are built In the form of a letter without the middle horizontal lire. The rooms up stuirs are for wood work, painting, iVc, the lower rooms for wood turning, machine shops, blacksmiths' shops, grinding rooms, Ac. The product of tbe factory Is cultivators, corn-shelters, planters and the Johnson Tile Ditcher, in the manufacture of which thev used up lust vear (a very dull yearj some 300,000 feet of hard lumber und large quantities of I rim and steel.

The men now employed number 75 or 80 to whom are paid from to fli.lHH) per month. It would be hurd to estimate tbe value of the products. Last year wus a very dull one, because the managers would sell only to parties from vt Until payments were sure. No risks were taken to force goods, so that while the sales were below the average the losses were reduced to a cv-pher. The present force could turn out $300,000 worth of goods annually, while the works fully manned could produce not less than $450,000 worth per annum.

They will be operated this season as largelv as the "demand requires, and at present trade and healthy. They experience only one difficulty, that of procuring iron, which they can only obtain by hunting up out-of-the-way establishments unknown to the general trade. Next week we shall continue the series. Table Talk. The law says you shall no longer kill quail, grouse or Mrs.

Wallock, a Polish lady, fell dead of heart disease oa Christmas day. The Turners of Peru gave their masquerade ball last week, with great success. They used to be mentioned as "them dam bonds." Now it's "damn them bonds." Fanny May's festive blondes "busted" in Peru after leaving Ottawa, jumping their board bills. llurglars entered a notion store of La Salle last week and carried olT cash to the amount of $150. Mr.

Jos. Megaflin presents a novel idea In the way of a liquor ordinance in another column. It is worth considering. The annual masquerade ball or the turner po. ciety will take place at their hall on February 9th.

The usual care will he taken insure a job ly evening. The new convent and Catholic school bulldiug of Streator is about ready for use. It consists of two stories and basement and is provided with all conveniences. The social event of Streator last week was the marriage of Frank P. Atkins, leader of the Strea tor Military Band, and Miss Katie Bursk, daugh- ter of a prominent merchant of that place.

Ottawa has an artesian well icet ucep. Dtion Sun. Your iHtcntions are hororable, no doubt, Mr. Sun; but the fact is Ottawa never has to go down more than feet to obtain the best water in the land. There are some 35 wells in this township and the best are not more than 375 feet deep, and the mojority but 350.

Some of our people are wonderfully exerciseu because the Trustees ordered a discontinuance of morning pravcr in our high school, as mentioned bv the Free Tkapbk. Dec. 20th. It was at once assumed the objection was made by the Roman Catholics. Truth is, so far as we have been able to learn, the objection was more decided among Protestants the liberuUsts, "free thinkers," cVc The experience of tbe times has shown that the public schools are more satisfactory to the pub- lie at large and managed with less trouble without prayers; and while the prayers were such as no one could by any possible excuse construe in to "sectarianism" and had become a feature of the school decidedly missed now by the pupils, the Trustees were right in going back to the old custom of the school, in force from their Inauguration, of running the school without pravcr in tbe morning, assuming that all good people who think the day should be commenced with prayer, will do so at their own fireside.

Even if the minority of parents desired no prover, thev have J- l.l 1 1 I. ll. 'I'l. nirnis umier ine scnoui ju which uic iihtb are bound to recognize; and under the circum stances we cannot see what else tlie Trustees could do than what they have done. We have been treated this week with a genu ine January thaw such as years ago came with the regularity of the January suu.

Of late years the "thaw," as it came this year, in the "good old" way, has not been at all regular; but now the uninitiated can know what was in Hie old times." The thaw really began on New Year's day, during which and the night following the raiu fell beautifully." The ice stood the strain, however, until Saturday night. Then, between nine and some one of the small hours in the morniug a big rain came. At eleven the gut ters, culverts, and all other escapes, were full to overflowing with water rushing to the rivers. TheBe by morning were booming," the ice hav ing broken up and was moving out rapidly, the Illinois clearing itself in a very short time. The Illinois was the higher, but both had risen many feet and arc now bank full.

The low lands about La Salle are covered with water. No great daiii- age was done. At the aqueduct the stagsng for the workmen on the new structure was cnrrled away in part. It has however been replaced and the work is going on. I be roads, of course, are broken up, as the frost is entirely out of the ground.

In town the streets are bad, except those graveled the past two seasons, winch are solid, though wet. A thaw like this shows how valuable our gravel is and the duty of all future city administrations to ao their street work proi erly, as has been done pretty generally the past two or three years. Jl would be a great under taking to gravel all the roads leading from town into the country, of course; but could it not be done Suppose the city were to buy a big gravel pit and say to the farmers, when you go home put into your wagon a small load and dump it oa yaur way home. lake the rond nortn irom tlie head of La Salle st. let the work begin, sav, at the i-nriiorutiun line and as the crave! would be hauled, let the new pike extend further and fur ther from that line.

And so on all other roacs. It would not be long before a series of excellent roads could be made, solid st all seasons. I his scheme looks practicable. It has betn carried out In some of our eastern states. 11 is not entirely original with us, but we commend it to the consideration of farmers trading in Ottawa so frequently shut eff by bud roads from town, their daily paper and other luxuries and necessities.
