OUR EXPENSIVE SENATE.
What It Costs to Keep Congress In Ituonlng
Order.
Washington, February 13.—The legists-
tive, executive and judicial appro
priation bill now on the House cMen-
taSeflPKiRi? * 2 a«‘ 2S8 ‘ S1j - This amount
is *«»,545 below the sum appropriated for
tbo current fiscal year and $880,820 below
the estimate of the Secretary of tbe Treas
ury. It is usual for the committee on ap
propriations in preparing their bills to take
into consideration the fact that many of the
amounts reported will bo increased by the
Hones and many others by tbe Senate,
Acting npon this theory, tbo committee re-
dnoe some of the amounts presented in the
estimates in the fuU belief that the figures
reported by them will be raised. Judging
from previous experience, it is risking little
to predict that the pending biU will be in
creased in amount at least one million do!
lars by the time the Senate completes it.
An examination of the expenses of the
Senate and House reveals a few interesting
f&ots. The total amonnt appropriated for
the Senate is $808,369, which does not in-
elude $11,000 askod for to pay private seo-
retanes to Senatora who are not chairmen
of committees, and which amount the
Senate will certainly add. The salaries of
seventy-six Senators amount to $380,000.
To wait npon these seventy-six Senators
the serrioes of 210 officers and employes are
required, at an annual cost of $300,383.
These figures show that the services of
three attendants are necessary to each Sen
ator, the average annual psy of the attend
ants being $1,391, The attendants are em
ployed not more than ten months of the
twenty-four mouths inoluded in a session
of Congress, which would live each of them
a salary of $278 per month for the time
aotually employed.
To pay salaries to 325 Representatives
and eight delegates $1,695,000 is required,
and to pay 301 officers and employea, $388,.
113. Tho difference between these figures
snd those repnaenting the aggregate re
quired to pay Senate officials is worthy of
notice, as it will explain in some measure falling heavily on hU°face, cutting Iris for£
the annual squabble between tho two bead badly. He had fully a minute to re-
FEARFCLLY PUNISHED.
Twelve ltonn<t« of One of the Bloodiest and
Most llrntal Prise Fights on ltecord.
A Chicago dispatch says: One ot tho
moot hotly contested skin-glove fights that
has ever taken place in this vicinity oo-
curred early yesterday morning in a vacant
barn about five miles south of this city, tho
contestants being Oeorge Larwood, of New
lork, known ns tho “Hammer,” and Frank
,7 °L Philadelphia, both of whom
weighed, when stripped, in the neighbor-
b0 ?? of MOponatt The fight was for $300
a side and the gate money, and was wit-
nessed by only about twenty people, besides
the referee and seconds, and they paid $10
each for the privilege. Tho party left Ohi-
eago in camagos about 7:3° a. m„ and ar
rived at their destination about 9 o'clock,
where no time was lost in building a ring
and getting things in proper sbnpo. All
being gotten toady in short order, the men
stripped and entered the ring, a well-known
Chicago sporting man having been selected
as referee. After the principals and their
soconds had shaken hands “time" was
called.
Round 1. Larwood started in to rush
matters and win right off the reel, if possi-
ble, while Stirk acted on the defensive.
® ot home with bis left on tho face,
and Stirk on the body. Larwood, after a
long interval of sparring, again landed his
left on Stirk s eye. the latter countering
heavily on tbo ribs. The round closed
witu both sparriug for an opening.
I.ound 2. Stirk s left eye was patting on
monrning, bnt otherwise both men looked
fresh. Rushing right at his man, Stirk
landed a terrillo blow on Larwood’s mouth,
Rnookipg him clean through tho ropes.
Following np his advantage, as soon as Lar
wood was on his feet, Stirk again knocked
him jnto his corner. The New Yorker
again came up pluckily, and after a few
feint* th* rnnnd ended.
Rounds 3, 4, 6 and 6 showed some very
clever and scientific work on tho part of
both men, no damage to speak of being re
ceived by either, both being pretty well
winded
Roiuid 7. Larwood having gotten his
second wind, seemed inclined to rush mat
ters, and going straight to his man he land
ed twice with bis loft on Stirk’s eye, wbioh
was now completely closed, getting away
both times without a return. They then
came together with a rush, and wore clinch-
ed when “time" was called.
Round 8. Stirk’s eyes were dosing fast,
but ho was game as a pebble, and came up
smiling, while Larwood was os fresh os a
d 5j?Y: Going right to his man, he played
with both hands on Stirk’s face like a trip
hammer, and was punishing him wickedly
when tho round closed.
Round 9. It was all over but tho shout
ing, as Stirk came up completely blind and
°°* bl ® t0 mil *. wbUe his opponent was but
little tho worse for wear. “Tbo Hammer”
again went to work with both hands on
btirk s fsce, which now resembled a piece
of raw beef. He took the terrible grueling,
however, like a wooden man, being knocked
down seven times before the ronnd dosed.
Round JO.—Stirk’s friends and seeonds
begged him to throw up the sponge, and
oven “The Hammer" asked him to quit, as
ho did not want to punish so game e man
any more, bnt to thdr entreatiea Stirk an-
swered: "Not till you carry mo out of tho
ring. He wee so blind that he had to feel
hi* way on the rope*. Larwood again
played like a trip-hammer on the poor fel
low s fmoe, knocking him down at will, but
each time the plncky fellow came book be
fore time was called. Just at the doao of the
ronnd Larwood atrnok him squarely on the
#11? wi i h at ®rrible right-handed blow, Stirk
branches on tnis question. The average
paid the House officials is $1,214 per an
num, whloh is $147 leu then that paid by
the Senate. The Senate foroe is equal to
three attendants to each Senator, while
that of tho House is less than one for each
member.
The mileage of Senators coats $33,000 per
annnm; that ot Representatives $110,624.
The Senate mileage divided per capita would
give every Senator over $434, a sum suffi
cient to furnish each of them with first-
olasa passage from San Francleco to Lon
don or Paris. The House mileage foots up
$110,624, whioh is equivalent to $333.20 per
capita. The allowance per mile is 20 cents
oaoh way. At the laat session tho mileage
of officers of the army and navy, when
traveling undir orders, was fixed at 8 cents
per mile. At the present session, in the
sundry civil bill, this allowance was fixed
at actual expeneea, exclusive ot sleeping
and parlor car charges and 4 cents per mile.
Able arguments were made in tbe House
to show that this allowance was ample. If
ample to cover the traveling expenses of all
other government officials, why not apply
it to members of Congress? Here la a good
opportunity to save $75,000 per annnm.
For contingont expenses the bill provides
forth*Senate$69,980, and for tho Honse
$113,937. Thai e sums divided per capita
would give each Senator from the oontln-
•gent fnnd $921, and each Representative
$312. Summarizing, the incidental expense
of Congressmen, exclusive of their annnal
salary of $5,000, each Senator coat tbe gov
ernment to provide him with attendance
over $5,307 per annum, and the cost of each
Representative and Delegate is $1,810. The
Senate's total for personal attendance la
$103,369; that of the House, $612,674.
" KINO OF QUAIL EATERS.
A New Yorker with tho Stomach of an Os-
trlch Rod the llrcath of a Devil.
New Yobk, February 14.—Emile Paul is
just now working out the destiny of a truly
heroio stomach By eating eighty-two quail
in forty-oue consecutive days, without the
eld of pepsin or any other digeatant. Tbe
trial writ end at 12 o'clock to sight. Sev
eral thousand dollars are wagered on the
result. Mr. Full bats $250 that after swal
lowing hi* eighty-second bird he will eat
five more off-handed. He is willing, too, to
wager any pert of $500 that to-morrow, to
cap the pyramid of slaughtered birds, he can
eat thirteen "straight” quail. “I got along
with the quails finely,” said Ur. Paul laat
night, "until last Sunday. Then my stom
ach began to go back on me, and I felt
rather rooky. For the lest four days my
akin has begun to smell of quell. I did not
begintotastequall until twodaysago. That
is the hardest thing about tha match. I
hato the taste of the lest. If
quail grew without legs, I think I could sat
500 in a month. The legs are the gamiest
part, and when a man has eaten all the quail
that he really cares for and must eat more,
ho revolts at the legs. Another great diffi
culty is eating at tho same time every night
If worries me a tittle. Bnt, take it all in
all, I find very little trouble. I hive gained
ten pounds in weight I drink lots of
Worcester, Tobasco and pepper sauces.
That is my great hold. In fact I drank a
wholo bottle of Tcbaaco sauce on a wager
of $25 a night, and for $501 added another
bottle. Wbat do I attribute my fine digest
ive powers to? Well, aimply to the fact
that I do not nso tobacco or intoxicating
liquors. I am satisfied that no man that
does can do any great feat of digestion.
There is one effect that qnail-eating has
upon me. I am chock fall of pbo-pborus.

Round 11. The blood was rnnning down
Stirk s faco in itnams, and his friends and
■seconds again begged him to give up tho
fight, but his only answer was, “Push mo
toward the middle of the ring,” whloh his
seconds did. Larwood gave him a terrillo
right-handed upper ont, and ho foil like a
log. “It’s all over,” shouted the spectators,
but at the end of nineaeoondahowosonhis
feet again. Larwood now refused to hit
him, and both itood in the ring nntil “time”
was called, Stirk still insisting that the fight
shonld go on.
®°aad twelfth, and the laat, was begun.
“The Hammer” itood looking at hit
fnlly a minute, and then landed a terrible
right-hander on Stirk’s jugular, knocking
him completely ont, and tbe fight was over.

Important Premiums.
Tbo premium committee of tho State
Agricultural Society yesterday completed
Ah! i N, W ( >t w°i f reT if. in B IL® premium list for
the State Fair, which they decided to hold
one week, commencing October 24th.
They also elected the general suporintend-
en m? Dd • 0 de Partment superintendents.
The principal premiums aro hero given.
Th* premiums in the art, borne industry,
poultry, needle and fanoy work deport
ments wero changed but slightly, and tho
inoreaso was made iu tho mote substantial
lines. As was intimated to the committee,
there will be a number of special premiums
offered by tbe merchants and others of
-Macon. 1 heeo will swell the amount of
premiums to a considerable extent It is a
plan of Captain John L. Hardeman, and it
meets with general favor, that those who
have any apeoial pets, offer premiums. For
instanoe, a lover of poultry will offer a
special premium for the boat chicken, a
lo ™ r Of dogs for the finest dog, and so on.
Theoitizens of Macon, and especially the
merchants are highly gratified at the liberal
premiums offered by the society, notably
those for county displays. It is thought
that they will induce a great number of
counties to make exhibits, and tbo aggrega-
tion will be saoh as to bring a largo crowd
of people from the upper portion of tho
country to Macon. It is expected that each
county will make known its intention of
competing, that ihe socieiy can give tue

WHAT IS TALKED ABOUT.
Ihe DlfciiRHlons Anent the Upward March
of Macon—Hoiuu of the Plana.
The movement inaugurated by the citi
zens'meeting on Wednesday attornoon is
being felt in all quarters. Go where you
will about the city and tho talk ia about
Macon spreading out and coming out of her
shell, ho to speak. It is rather early for the
results to take tangible shape, but that they
nr e cIoho at hand ig evident. There are
/oral schemes being worked quietly and
there are trades looking to the transfer of a
large quantity of real estate.
Never bofora, perhaps, in the history of
Macon has her citizens been ao thoroughly
aroused t§ tho importanco of work and
their interest enlisted in a movement of
this character, homo of tho old citizena
speak of a booni that stirred tho town be
fore the war. All that portion of the city
above First street and Cotton avenue was
cut up into lots and sold at what was then
considered stiff prices. The town talked
of nothing but Macon and Maoon’s future
* or 0 year afterward. At that time all wost
jmd southwest of Poplar stroet was a howl
ing wilderness. And there aro Home of
those old citizens, and many who were
{wy® then wading in the brunches or picking
huckleberries about whero the synagogue
stands now, and beyond, are
now talking up Macon as
glibly on the moat enthnsiastio boomer on
tho ^committee of five. Mon who have
plodded along in the well beaten path, look
ing noitbor to tho right nor to the loft as
modern buildings reared lofty houds above
them, and who seemed to have cared for
nothing boyond tho easy-going life thoy
wero leading, now creep np to tho edgo of
tho groups of younger men and drink in
every word abont Maoon’s getting oat of
the quagmire. The movomeut has inter
ested them, and moro than onoo have they
■aid tlw\y will c.hocrfnlly plank down their
two dollars to the advertising fnnd.
This of courso shows with what earuost-
nosB the people have takon hold of tho
matter, but ft is tho real catato men who
are tho rcnl barometers to show tbe cold
and wormth of tho market. Thoy report
that they have had moro inquiries for real
catato within tho past weok than for months
beforo. The fignrtn nro a welling, yet tho
movement is in its Bwaddling clothes.
Tho diBonssion of divots’ schemes npon
tho streets has Its advantages. Home of
them may not amonnt to anything and
somo of them may. The general discussion
brings out now ideas that will prove valua
ble to parties who desire to lot out their
money. Among th* many plans hv whioh
homo capital oan bo inventeil, one is given
this morning. It is crude, but will famish
an idea or so,
A power company is proposed, Find
lay’s foundry covers Ihroo acres of ground,
and one wing is almost 400 foot long. Cat
np tho wings into a dozen or more shops,
put in a three, four or flvo hundred horso
power engine, and leoso the sovoral shops
with the power to manufacturers. For in
stance; A has $1,000 and desires to manu
facture bucket*. B has a similar amount
of money and desires to mannfaotaro
brooms. They rent two of tho shopj,
which give them shop room and power.
One oftico oan bo used for twenty or more
soparatoand distinct mannfactnrios,; thus
concentrating tho products of tho* vast
workshop that tho dealer oan buy
anything he neods without moving ont of
his seat. To this plan oen be added an in-
dastriel association which loans oapital to
those who wish to ongago in tho small in
dustries. When asked yoaterday if tho
foundry oould be secured for such a pur
pose as is briefly outlined above, Major G.
D. Findlav said it conld. Furthermore, ho
would take stock in tho enterprise. He
would lenso or sell tho property at reason
able figures, and would bo wilting to tako
stock in either event
Everybody toomo to noite on the canal
question. No one has been found to offer
tbe .lightest obstacle in the way of getting
a canal. Tho choap power it would give to
innnmornble manufactories is granted on
every hand. A very carefnl nnd cautions
citizen asked yesterday “what city is the
v oalthicat for tho nnmbor of its population
in the United States?” A number of north
ern nnd eastern cities wero gneeisd. • 'The
flgnres nnd t*>e record show that August*
is,’ ho said, “and tbo canal makes it so ”
“No city tn tho world," said a weli-in-
formod man yesterday, “is hotter located
for a canal than Macon. Tho fall is oxnotly
P8M.«nd tho ongineorseny it oan he built
for $300,000."
The canal was talkod abont yesterday
probably moro than any other fontnro of
improvement, nnd those discussing it most
were business men who have the money tj
put in It. 1
Tho signs also point to a purchnso within
tbe next few days of tho old laboratory
property for manufacturing purposes. The
difference of a few hundred dollars pre
vented its sale yesterday.
Iii F.ut Macon tho interest is as prent am
on tbe west side of tho river. There is a
good, healthy feeling in real estate, and
the citizens on that side of Ocmulgoe are
ready with their sbontders to put to the
wheel whenever called upon.
