A reporter for Tie Trinuxs found the gentleman at hfe residence last evening, and engaged him Jn conversaNon regarding the recent extra scs- ston and ti raaults of {ts deliberation, “Nothing whateyer,? said Mr. Davin, “ was done .nt- this session that could not have been * accomplished during the regular session preceding it, bad the Democrats been disposed to expedite —_—business. But they were determined to push-thelr purely political measures in the face of honest legisla- tion, and consequently the interests of the coun- try had to suffer.”. “What was the feoling relating to ‘THE SILVER DIL" “Thero was a pretty cenerally favorable sen- etiment so far as Warner's bill was concerned, It was deomed to be about-the right thing in nearly every essentint, although many members were convinced that {ft could be improved upon. It was unfortunate ‘for the bill that Warner controlled it, for he had o faculty of making himself very, unpopular with mombers by his manners, aril, further more, he was nover ready to explain polnts.on which intormation ttas desired, He had evi- dently acquired a vast deal of information from’ ‘Aooke, but was never ablo tu crystallizo It for an emergoncy.

SULY 6, 1879-TWELVE PAGES. MATT: BENNER. What Business-Men Think of His Removal. Tho Mayor's Conduct Meets with Gen- eral Condemnation. Aside from the orlinary topics of conversa- tion on Independence-Day, its picnics, proces- stona, races, and other amusoments, the chief subject of discussion among the eltizens of Chi- cago yesterday was the fact of Fire-Marshal Bon- ner's peremptory removal from his position by order of Mayor Harrison. Among business men there was much feeling with regard to this mat- ter, they thinking that the discharge of this tried and valuable public servant was all wrong. ‘Tur Trinune yesterday published a scrics of interviews with leading insurance men, who, be- ing specially interested In the maintenance of n first-class Fire Departmont,and haying made the workings of that Department n matter of special study, arc well qualified to spenk on the merits of the ease, This morning there are presented the ylews of number of prominent business men and large taxpayers, which aro briefy given, as follows, ond whith, it will bo acen, are very nearly uoanlmous: RONERT LINCOLN. “It was Bennor’s business,” said Robert Lin- colo, “to put out fires, and no part of his duty to go nround and ask the firemen to take less than the Connell had appropriated for them, Ne was right in declining to do it. If I wera Mayor, removing Benner {!s ono of the last things I should do, Ithink it Is a great mis- tako,'? “Havo you heard much talk oh the subject?” “Not very much, but as faras L have beard expressions they are all one wnay—that the cause assigned for remoylig him was no cause etal’ JONN G.\ BUORTALI» ‘The queation fe sinipty,” said John G. Bhort- all, “whether there has been insubordination or not, because the Mayoris head ofall the Depart- inents,and adtrection or command of his tntheia- terest of cconomy ought to be heeded ina proper solrit by the persons to whom ft is addressed. Eyery ono has confidence in Benner within the line his duty. After Mr. Marrison had civen iim certain instruc: tions, according to the reports, it was clearly Benger’s duty 19 obey them, however much ho may have disliked todo so, Its catling together the Council Committee to discuss with thei whether he should pay ony attention to the Mayor's request acems to ine‘stupping outside of his duty. If he has been gullty of insubordl- nation, Mig Harrison could take no other coureso than the one he has taken, and remoye him."

SHWING-MACHENES. FORMERLY AT NO. 180 STATE-ST, HAS REMOVED TO 199 STATE, ' CORNER OF ADAMS, Where he will be pleased to show his friends and the public the new Eldredge Sewing-Machine, now completed and ready for the trade; the finest machine in the world. If you wantthe latest improved and best, it will pay you to ex- amine this machine. : B. BLDREDGHEH. E NEW ELDREDGE MACH “FEATURES. Below we give a description of the important features in the Eldredge Sewing-Machine, which are original and new, and. secured, or being se- cured, by LETTERS PATENT for the exclusive use of this, the King of all Sewing-Machines, destined ina short time to become the leading machine ofthe world. =| : ‘ The ELDREDGE isa doublo thread, lock-stitch, shuttle machine, light running, silent, is always reliable, and is a combination of all requisites and aids -that_render a.Sewing-Machine valuable, adapted to the use of families and manufactories. LOOSE PULLEY FOR FLY-WHEEL—The loose pulley for wind. ing the bobbin and: prevent running the machine backwards and breaking the thread, is the most perfect plan ever adopted for this purpose. ; ; AUTOMATIO. SELF-THREADING TENSION—Is solf-threading, roducing nt all tines an even pressure on the thrend, without the Hannity of breaking it. es ee eek Me . HOLLOW NEEPLE-BAR—Made by drilling ‘the’ whole length, making it light and rigid, enabling the machine to be run‘at'a high rate ot specd for manufacturing purposes. k ADJUSTABLE AUTOMATIC TAKE-UP—Is used in this machine This is an improvement long needed, giving the machine capacity for all grades of work. aaa) , PATENT ECCENTRIO SELE-SETTING NEEDLE—The -salo_ ot which is controlled by this Company, the most essential and valuable improvement that has been added to the Sewing-Machine in the last thirty years. In setting a Janae or fine needle it places it a uniform distence from the Shuttle, making it impossible to skip stitches. THE MACHINE IS PRACTICALLY SELY-THREADING, THE FEED-In tho Eldredge will be found the most pertect one ever invented, having great capacity, belng strong and durable, and ensily reguinted, Evory movement Is positive. as no springs. It has ® large supporting surface, nnd. extends on three sides of the needle, ‘HIE SHUTTLE-Is cylindrical in form, with adjustable tension, made of hardened. stool, all threading, and having a bobbin as large as any in use, ADJUSTABLE—Every part of this Machine is mado adjustable. HARDENED PARTS—AI the wearing parts are case-hardened, PLATING AND ORNAMENTING—Each Machine is handsomely ornamented in gold and nickel-plated. THE STAND, DRIVING-WHEEL AND GUARD—The stand is neat and tasteful in design, handsomely ornamented and Japanned, with enstors and driving-wheel nickel-plated. Tho drlying-wheel is hung on adjustable centres, producing tho casiest movement known, the hitman having 2 direct pull from the contre, doing away with the lianittey of wear. TRANSVERSE SHUETLE MOVEMENT— Ono of the main features in this Sewing-Mavhino is thatit has a transverse shuttle movement; that is, the shuttle moves lengthwise of the bed, In this way tt thread is drawn straight through the eye of the ncedle, 1n this con« nection we quote the following from Mr. GEO. W. GREGORY, torm- erly Examiner of Sowing-Machine Patents, in his report on Sowin Machines at the Centennial for the United Statcs Government; “¥here are two ways of feeding the cloth with relation to tho eye of tho needle, viz: none form the direction ot the feed corresponds with the direction of the eye of the needic as in transverse-s! utile machines, and the thrend passes through the cye of the needle inn direet line and with but little friction; and in the other torm, the eye of the ncedlo is placed at right angles to the direction: of the move- ment of the feed, and the thread after passing through the eye ot the needle is turned about the needle, substantially atright angles. This produces more friction upon the thread than in the other plan.” The most successful machines for all purposes, and those that have met with the largest sale, have been machines using the Transverse Shut- tle Movement. The Machines are now on exhibition at the Company’s Office, 199 State-st., corner of Adams, where we will be pleased to show them to our friends and the public. ELDREDGE SEWING-MACHINE G0.
