How the Present Monument Square Looked In 1849, and Its Appearance To-day. A Cut Showing It, Which Will Be Familiar to Old Pioneers. Great changes have marked the passage ot time since 1849, and Eacine with ber sister cities has not stood still.

Look at Monument Square to-day, surrounded by magnificent buildings; the $10,000 monument, the expensive and commodious court house, the Baker, Porter and Lathrop blocks, together with those of lesser pretensions. What a difference in comparison with the public square of thirty-six years ago with its small, homely, stores and old time peculiarities. It was the place for the weekly meeting of our honest yeomen, who offered in this most conspicuous place the results of their faithful and laborious tillage of the soil. In those primeval days political events were of an exciting nature and our old citizens, now bearing the weight of years, then young men of that day, will recall vividly to mind many incidents in the history of that eariy perlod, suggested by this sketch. To day the JOURNAL presents to its readers a fac simile of the now Monument Square as it appeared in 1849, which will so doubt bring back many remlnisc The cnt was resurrected lrom amoug others of ancient date.

The first building facing Sixth, street will be remembered as the church edifice of the Baptist society, in the basement of which many of the boys learned their first lessons ot being good, from. Michael Carroll, Andrews and others. This was previous to the burning of the church. The fire, it will be remembered, was caused by the firing of a building which stood at the right of the church, on tbe night of May 2d, 1862, by a Chicago man who had sold a stock of boots and shoes very cheap. The burned district was afterwards rebuilt by Mr.

Osborne. Faulkner Stone's drug store was the point where the fire stopped. The old WAverly house was raised in 1852. and made what is now Jas. Bolton's meat market.

On the west side of the Square will be recognized the old Court House, which was an eyesore for years; H. T. Taylor's store, Filer's tobacco store, Mrs. Well's millinery, (afterwards Stillman'a Home.) The house with columns was Mrs. Van Cotta's resi dence next to the Court House.

Further on is tbe Eacine House block, with Uol-bora's jewel ty store and many others. The tree in front of the Eacine Honse will be recognized as the one upon which an excited crowd was going to hang one of our old citizens, Nick Miller, for alleged treasonable remarks made at tbe time in regard to the assassination of President Abe Lincoln. Ths cat will do doubt bring to mind many scenes and incidents. We have also other cats giving illustrations ot early days which will appear from time to time. LOl'UT ASI VMIME.

The remarkable structure waa commenced la 1883 and baa been a atandingmonument of municipal dilatorinesa.

Ws can now draw a sigh of relief and record its completion. It wtl) be appreciated by many of oar eirJsene as it shortens the distance to tbe business portions of the city very materially for many of the residents of the Fifth ward. It will also give a boom to 8lxth street and that lively thoroughfare bids fair to Increase in bnslness Importance. When the McKlnsle bridge is rebuilt the cltisens of Kscine will bay a very delightful driveway, and it can be made very pleasant at but little expense. By driving down Sixth street tbe road will be over tbe Bt Paul railroad, on the Sixth street viaduct, under the Northwestern track, over Root river on the McKinsie bridge, then around Mound Cemetery to the Twelfth street extension to Washington avenue and thence to town.

In this drive there will be considerable diversity of scenery as the drive will run along the river and show the windings of that stream near Cedar Bend, and as there are several grades come of them very steep. We trust soon to see the McKinsie bridge rebuilt and the roads and streets graded so that a pleasant ride can be enjoyed. When all this is completed the Sixth street bridge will not have been built in vain. RELIGIOUS.

s-ek1 I Who Will Ueet in Friendly Rhralry Monday Night Portraits aad Lift Sketches of the Celebrated Experts, Chicaoo, Nov. 14. The greatest billiard tournament that tbe world has ever known will commence at the Central Ma ie ITall, Monday night The participants will be George F. Slosson of Chicago, Jacob Scbaefer of New York, and Maurice Vlg-naux of Paris, France. It will be a four-teen-inch balk line tournament, and the winner will capture a parse of three thousand dollars, and the entire net receipts of tbe week.

Each player will play two games with each opponent A 5x10 table will be need, and the second game will be played between the loser of the first gams and the third player. Representatives of the players met and drew lots a few days ago, to see who would play the opening game, and it was decreed that Slosson and Yignaux should be the 'first to cross cues. GEORGE r. now holds the fonrteen-inch balk line laurels of the United Sea tes, haying won them in the April tournament at New York. Slosson first sow the light on March 5tb, 1854, in De Ealb, Lawrence County, New York.

It is said of him that before be was tall enough to look over a table he was known as the boy billiardiat, and the residents are never tired of relat ing how in those days he had to stand on a dry-goods box or a chair in order to make a shot Jerry Baldwin, who kept a room in Ogdensburg when Slosson was a lad, used to be pestered to death by the youngster. He used to go to Jerry once or twice a week for the key to the room so that he could clean it up. Then he would play billiards with one eye on the win dow, and the moment Jerry came round the corner down would go the one and tbe room would be filled with dubt. The first public match of any account was played in Rochester in 1803, his opponents being William Jake, of Canada, the Canadian champion, Maurice Daley, Eugene Kim ball, Frank Fitch and Sprague. Slosson won first prize in the tournament.

He then drifted west and settled in Chicago where he has lived almost continually, though he owned a room in New York lor a short period. A tew weeks ago he mar ried Miss Nellie, daughter ot Thomas Foley, the father of billiard in the west, and is now a permanent resident of Chica go. JACOB SCHAEFEK is a western boy; thirty years ago he was born in Milwaukee, and bis reputation has been made west of the Ohio riyer. The first great match was in Indianapolis in Slosson being his opponent and carrying off the laurels. He is a born billiard player, extremely genial and sociable and has probably more friends than any other billiard player in the world.

He is a born billiardist, and when in form plays a remarkably showy and brilliant game. He is now located in New York. An aeknowledged king of continental billiard players is MAUBICK VIQXAUX, who towers head and shoulders in stature as well as in play, over the billiard ex perts of the old world. He is a large well proportioned man, weighing over 250 pounds. His age is forty-three.

In his matches in France he has been unusually successful, and he is the pet ot the French nation. In America, however, his success has been but moderate. He has not play ed the balk line in pnblio to any extent, and what be can do in that game is yet to be demonstrated. The 14 inch Bslk lice record for both highest ran and average, is held by Sloe-eon, The record is 1W and the average 22 8-11. 8cbicfftr'a belt record is 97, with an average of 18 14-27, although both bave done better in practice games.

The only record held by Yignaux is the straight three-ball game, in which he has run 1,538, while Slosson is second with 1,103. Hundreds of lovers ot the sport are arriving in town from all parts of the coon-try to witness the games. The executive committee of the Chicago Boomkeepers' Association, which has the tournament in charge, has secured Central Music Hall for tbe six nights of the wrek, and the refusal for Monday and Tuesday of the next week, should it be necessary to play off the games. AMVSEMEST8. O.

L. Ayer gave another exhibition at the Lakeside skating rink last evening, bnt the attendance was not very large, probably owing to the fact thai Ayer is not pop-oiar here. His performance on the giant skates is new aad was very fair, bat as a character skater he is a dead failure, and the Jockxal would advise him to give It Ringers were Mt greeted with a vary large baas at Taraer Ball With Numerous Tax-Payers Upon the Question of Water Works. Thi Connnity Seem to Favor Uto Scheme, 1 At present the principal topic ol conversation and interest throughout the city is the water works proposition made by Messrs. Darling and Howlaod, capitalists, of Boston to pnt in works with 28 miles of pipe, provided the city will take 300 fire plugs at $30 each per annum.

The matter of an Opera House seems to hare dropped into oblivion and go where yon may, the question of water is discussed. Tbe JoUBtUL to-day presents its resders opinions of many tax payers, who favor or oppose the establishing of works in tbe city. Tnee opinions were obtained in minute interviews, consequently are very short. Of course it does not indicate what the result of a vote of the whole city would be, bnt it gives an idea of the feeling on the subject. Ex-Mayor 8ecor I favor the mote.

Only old fogies oppose it. The proposition is tbe beet ever made the city and it should be accepted. Alderman Heck I am not decided, but there are some parts of the proposition I do net favor. Alderman Thiesen Tbe Fifth ward aldermen do not favor water works. We want an artesian welL That is good enough for us.

Frank Kemmerer I favor the water works. Its a good proposition. Put them in by all mean. Anthony Kranpa I don't care whether we have water works or not. Will be satisfied either way.

Wa. Keswick I opposs it. The city had better get out ot debt defore it incurs any more liabilities. TWA Mills A little premt'are to go into effect Times are to hard at present Tbe scheme, however, is a good one. W.

J. Smith I am not in favor of the proposition. I favor the city putting in and owning their works. J. Brooker I favor water works and accepting the best ofler the city can secure.

II. Smeiding favors water works, providing it docs not cost too much. It would certainly be a benefit to the city, but in view of the fact that our laboring classes Ind it hard to pay taxes and get a living, the taxes should not be incressed. Aid. Herxog I favor water works.

The plaos of the Itostoo men are good if they will do at they agree. Ws want the best works in the land. F. Hubachek I favor water works, but the city should build them as cheap as possible and own them. I do not favor capitalists putting in works.

C. Bnggs favors water works. They are a necessity. Fred C. Bliss Yea, I favor water works, bnt they should be pnt in on the most economical plan.

The proposition proposed is extravagant 8. C. Yoot We ought to have water works ol some kind. It would make some difference in tbe insurance rates. D.

G. Janes ougbt to have water works and sewerage. Think it would make a difference to the people of $14,000 on the whole property in Eacine. I favor the city owning its works, i L. Baker, one of the trustees ot the E.

II. Baker estate I moet decidedly favor water works. The proposition belore the people should be adopted. Thomas W. Spence We ought to have water works, and I favor the Boston company putting them in.

A. Lewis You bet I favor water works. The proposition of the Boston men is a good one; adopt it J. P. Jones We want it, but the city should not pay over 3 per cent on the investment Aid.

Madorey favors Water works, but not on such a costly plan as the Boston men propose. It can be done at leas cost to the city. ji C. fi Hall We want the water works, but it should go to a vote ot tax-payers. I don't believe in the Boston men's proposition- The city should own and control its own works.

L. Blake The city should accept the proposition of the Boston men. We want water works. B. B.

Blake agrees with his father. 1 Dr. J. G. Meachem, Dr.

F. Garlock, H. B. MuoroeCapt. E.

Pugh, E. C. Deane, Mayor Miller and City Attorney Eitchie, all favor the proposition. Jasua B. Slanson The proposition is too expensive and would place an everlasting debt on the city.

It would ruin Racine. Buckingham Sons Oppose waterworks. Are very well pleated with the attesian wells. H. Gorton I lavor waterworks and also the pi opoaitioo before the tax payers.

It's the best we have had yet Dickey Pease Favor works of some kind. Ex-Alderman Colbert I favor some system of waterworks, bnt let the city decide what it can do or psy, then invite competition. Let tbe tax-payers vote on the question next spriog. J. Case Don't want waterworks at present.

All the money the city baa to spare should be expended in protecting the lake shore- If waterworks are put in before the shore is protected the mains will be washed into the lake. S. Freeman Oppose the proposition the Boston firm and waterworks generally that invilej any direct taxation at the present time, John F. Bicket, or' the Hardware Co We favor alt public improvements provided the east is not too much. The waterworks proportion is a good one.
