MILWAUKEE, Dec. 26.—As the year draws 15 a the statisticans are busy eugaged in obraining facts and figures to show the volume of business that has been transocted, the - provements that have been made, aud the ag- srecate smount of labor thal bas been per- tormed in extending street and otber works. Derailed statements of the building improve- ments projected and in process of completion, if not already completed, since the 1st of Jan- ugrv, were pubhehed yesterday and to-day. The fipures show an aggregate footing of $1,112,400, znd are divided awoner the architects as foilows: Of all the building improvements made in the city during the scason, fally three-fourths may tairly be credited 10 the architects upon plans presured by them. Thus, by adding one-fourti 10 the figares furnished by theri. we have a wtet of Tutly $1.400,000 as tne cust of the i amprovements ¢l 1hbe city, public i e publ ew- eaply son for two reasous, viz.: low prices of d materiais, and an inordivately active competition between contractors. 11 is stated upon the aatherity of architects that nearly every building contractor in the city has lost thut several bave already been driven into taukrupicy, and that others’ will be bauk- rupted. Thereiore the figures griven above can- Bot be aceepted 2s & criterion of the actual value of the itprovementsmade. Awongthe privae residences enumerated are several that cost Trom $20,020 to §25.000. and one that cost $40,- 020. These mansions sre very properly consid- ered ameng toe finest in the West. On the whole, Miliwaukee has no reason to feel ashamed of ber progress in butlding unprovements dur- ing the year. TIIE COADICTOR BISHOP QUESTION. The question of the appointment of a coad- jutor to Archbishop Henni is becoming a sub- deet of acnd discussion throush the medium of the newspaper press of the city. - The {riends of Bisbop Spalaing, of Peorie, stoutly prounounce against ihe tendency to appoint Germans to high places'in the Catholic Church in this State. At present the Bishops of Lu Crosse, Milwauiee, and Greep Bayare all Germnans,, Every Viear- General, Chanceilor, and Secretary in the State, with the siogle = exception ~of one, a Bulrian, i5 German. Not ome of all the Bisbops and ccclesiastical officials can propetly be termed a German-American. And yet not more than two-fiiths of the Cath- olies ot the State are Germans; the remarmder arc all Enclish-speaking. Under such circam- gtances Lthe memoers of St. Joho’s Cathedral und otber Englisb-speaking parishes of the city very properly raise taeir voices against what term an attempt to build up ‘a_new Ger- snuay in the Catholic Church of tne Northwest, the tendeuey of which, they say, wonid prove a 7ar more injurious form of Know-Nothingism 1han auy political Know-Nothingism_ever fos- tered in the countiry. Baz then the Bishops of ihe Catholic Church in this country sie not apjointed or even nominazed by Catholic tay- ice or priests. DAMAGES WANTED. Thesuccess of Mrs. Muc Alinden in the suit sgainst the city for damares to hier property. on Broadway, resulting from a change of grade made a number of years since, which soit.was regently decided in the Citcuit Court of Kenosha, County, has led 1o the eotry of a number of gimilar suits by parties whose progerty on Erie, Cuicazo, Buffalo, and Detroit streets has suf- fered Gamage from the samé cause.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION. This week a° cse fu which buosiness men generally are interested was put over for the 1 in the County Court. The litigants are Sanger. Rockiwell & Co., extensive manufac- turers of sash, doors, avd blinde, and the R. G, Duu & Co. mercantile azency. Four years ago anzer, Rockwell & Co. intrusted to the mer- cantile agency a uote amousting to nearly $500 fur collection froma party in Penusylvania. ie azent ot Dun & Cu.in the latter State nade the cotlection, but iailed to make s return; in wther words, hie defaulted. When applicd to Syan & Co. refused to make good the delin- uency, setting up az a defeuse the _acceptance ! thie toillowing recetpt by Sanger, Rockwell & Co. at the time of tendering the note for collec- Lion.

On the other band, it is claimed that, notwithstanding the stereotyped form of the reccipt, the pzcney assumed the responsi- bility of the collection tne moment the note aceepted for that purpose: that the insti- utiou wade a boast of_reliability, aud still ad- { heres to the claim, and therefore, if in a con- dition of solvency, must make good the losses sustained through the embezzlements of dis- houest attorneys.

Mueh - speculation s frequently indulzed in by vessel-owners and commission men with reference to the facilities possessed by Milway kee for handling the unusually large quantitics of grain that aré constantly reaching the market from the West.” According to the last weekly report the amount of grain in store in vur ele- vators was as follows: Total ...... B This is the larrest amount of pgrain-ever in Milwaukee at any ouc time. But there is yet room for nearly 1,500,000 bushels, as will e seen by the followne list of elevators, with their capacity: Bushels.. .1,200.000 50, 000 200,000 750,000 00,000 400, 300, 000 1,000,000 4,600, 000 3,150,000 Leaves capacity yet unoceupied. ....1,450,000 1In case the receipts of wheat and other erains, over aud above shipments, should exceed the storage eapacity yet remainivg, she St. Paul Railway Company can make use of thelr ele- Yator at Racine, havinz a capacity of 00,000 busnels, Elevator D, better known as the Hix- by Elevator, has been lying idle for several years, hut has been put in condition for use, and is already receiving wheat. The Sweet Elevator is also being filled up. The grealest pressure just pow iz upon_ the ~Angus Smith and Northwestern Elevators, which af- tord storage for the city-mixers and the grain reaching this market over the Chicago & Northwestern Railway. Nearly ol of the wheat placed on board of vessels, and that which has been shipped across. the lake to Grand Haven since the close of throngh uavization, has coute from these elevators, and yet they are crowded for room. Another year thines will be in better shape, so far as the Northwestern Railway is concerned, as Angus Smith designs tearing down the old Sweet Elevator and erect- ing in its stead astructuresimilarto his Elevator A, and of like capacity. This will take up the entire space between Broadway Bridze and the cast side of the present Sweet Elevater, aud put the property to the use for which it scems best designed. . A HANDSOME GIFT. An clegant gifc bas, within the last few days, been added to St. Paul’s Eniscopal Chureb, the burn-like structure that has graced Mason street from time immemorial. - It consists of u large font, of the finest statuary marble. The basin of this font is octazonal in form, and the rim bears the legend, *In the name of the Father, and of the Son, aud of the Holy Ghost. Amen.” One of the panels has a sculptitre, in a o relievo, of adescending dove: another bears the mono- sram AL H. 8.7; the two others delicately wrought lilics. ‘The capital “or column on which the basin rests is haudsomely orna- mented. The four sides of the base bear the simple words, *Ia Memory,” *Iu Faitn,” *“In Hope,” **In Love.” This font is the gift of a devoted member of the congrezation. Now, it would be 2 handsonte thing for other devoted members to do to erect a suitably ornate church edifice around this font. Then *Old St. Paul's,” as it is called, would rank among the first and dest in the city. There is saflicient wealth in the congregation to accomplish this much-to-be-desired_object, but tbey do not ap- pear to be animated wizli the feeling of pride ihat would lead them to appear well in the eyes of citizens at large and strangers visiting the city. NORTHWESTERN SAENGERFEST. Arrangemehts arc already well advanced for the annual festival of the Northwestern Saeng- erbund. which is to be held berenext June. At arecent meeting of the Comumittee to whom these arrangements have been intrusted, repre- sentatives were present from the song associa- tiops of the Freic Gemeinde, Liedertafel, Licd- erkranz, Deutscher Maennerverein, and Milwau- kee Musical Society, when the following pro- gromme of concerts to begiven during the even- ings of the festival was adopted: Part First—Overture, address of welcome, male chorus, mixed chorus, massed male chorus. Part Second—Overture, mixed choras, inale choras, violin solv, mixed chorus. ‘A musical director for the festival is to be se- lected at 2 meeting to be beld on the 5th of Jan- uary. The arrangzements embrace etaborate dee- oration of the city, with triumphal arches, ete. The German Atbens of the Northwest will no doubt present au appearance of unusual bustle and activity, to say nothing of beauty, for the city is beautiful in itself without decorations, when the festival time arrives. The Germans excel in all such matrers, ordinarily. Argus Smitl's A, Ansus Smith’s Sweet Elevator.. Toral... Deduct grain in stor SPORTING NOTES.

The pit is situated io the cellar of a house somewhere berween Walker’s Point Bridge and Bay View, e place is secluded, and can only be reacied by proceeding through the house under which it is lovated. Nonebut the initiated are permitted 1o enter. It is a resort of the fancy, and betting isas free as water. The first cocking maio ot 1he seasun took place there on Christmas Eve.
