Architect Egan Favors Arbitration with Hinsdale. Visit to the Court-House and Inspection 3 of the Work. The Joint Committee on Public Buildings and Service met nt 10 o'clock yesterday-morning far the purpose of further investigating the charges contained in Mr. Armstrong’s communication to the Bonrd last Mont: ‘Mr. Armstrong presented and read the follow- ing communication: To the Joint Committee on Buildings and Serv- tec—GENTI. inview of the peculiar cir- cumstances pertaining to the matter of Arm-, strong and Hinsdule now being investigated by your honorable body, L trust that my posi fon 13 arehitect of the buildme will be a sufficient war~ rant for the follo suggestions and recom~- mendations whieh L would respectfully present for your consideration: First—That the question of the computation of the vulue of the work dune outside of the contract, or “extra work," and also the valuc of work omitted from the contract of the Hins- dale Doyle Granit Company, be submitted to the decision of to experts, who shall be practical men engaged in the business of supplying such granit worl, é, Sccond—Tant one of these experts shall be ap- pointed by exch of the parties to the contract; tbat is to sty, one by the Hinsdate-Doyle Granit Company and one by your honorable body on Dehalf of the county, with power to call ina third, whose decision Shall be binding on them in case of a failure to age Third—Thut the report of such value of the work done and wot hibiting a balance due on either side—the coun- ty or the contractors, ns the case may be—shull be considered binding on the parties to the con- tract. My reason for these suggestions are: That from the relauons which bave existed between Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Hinsdale, it must be ad- mitted that any statements made by one party against the other ure to be regarded with doubt s icion. Neverthel the idea has now been raised, and just remain in the minds of many mem= bers of your honorable body, and'also to a grent xtent in the public mind, that from the inti- mute business relations formerly existing be- tween the parties to this contract, something may be wrong, even though a majority of your hould decide otherwise. is iso due to myself that T ommendation in order that my own s mide to your honorable body be s vindicated or be left open to rejection. evident to me that, even though my statements were accepted by a majority, the sume feeling of doubt and une sull continue to influence a minor and in a matter in money I am not satisfied to rest under that sus- picion even on the part of a few, or even one member of your honorble Board. Finally, the adoption of such a courseas T bave indivated will have the great advantage of avoiding 2 long and costly lawsuit by setting Mr. Hinsdale’s claiins,—a matter which is,as you ure weil aware, subject of serious difference between the firm and myself, would, therefore, pending the result of such Xperts’ examination and report, resvectfally er leave to withdraw all estimates aud ccrtil- ates now under di: ‘ion. Respeetfully submitted. J.J. EGAN, Architect. Mr. Hinsdale said that he would ngree to the proposition contulned in the communtention. ‘Mr. Senne read fvom the record of the Board resolutions which had been passed requiring that no changes should be made in the construc- tion of the buildings without the consent of the Tpard being granted. He asked why the urchi- teet did not get the authority of the Board he- fore the changes in the construction of the County-Buildimg were made. He held, also, that xpertsas tothe omitted, ex- f CE BETWEEN THE PRICE, eharzed for the work which knd been done and for that whieh had been omitted. On stone which had been placed in position as much as $1.25 to 2a foot had been charged, while only 2 cents a foot had been allowed for that which had not been employed. Mr. Egan said that the work of preparing the stone and placing it in its position had to be taken into consideration. Tho allowance for unemployed stone was simply for the rourh ma- terial. We would remind the Committee that the building they had crected was altogether an exceptior one. being one of the weizhticst structures ever built. tor inunicipal. purpe As architect, he wis authorized iu bis contract to use his judgment sons to have a perfectly safe building. and be had done s He believed. tbat tho resolutions re ‘Mr. Senne were an infringement of his rizbts usin architect and a proof of the mismanagement which the Bourd had displayed in the construction of the building. Comn a ilk said that misoraniez ment was ap iy big word, but Mr. Egan per- sisted that it was the rigbt one, When be took the binlding in hand it was in avery ATIOUS condition, the limestone walls having gone up with three big gaps for the column work, and it needed the greatest care in 2 building of such size erected on ail of so compressible n nat- ure to perform successtully the task before him. He really, w! he thought of the muny changes that had been made in the original plan, considered thatit was almost. 1 miracle that the building had been successfully raised. He did not think be should be held down to the solutions, which he objected to strenuously xt ime they were pussed. Commissioner Sennc—All I want to know is, where the changes nade in the stone-work of the building authorized by the Board? Mr. Egan—They were. With regard to the utioas, I would say that in those da yhoie month would piss sometimes befor would bear of the passage of resuluticns re: ing to the work on the buibling. . Commissioner O'Neill—The charg® has been mide that the changes in the stone work were not for the benetit of the building. Whether it wis for the benefit of the contractor remains yet tobescen. Neither the architect nor any other person nail any right to make changes in it, and they are wot binding on'Couk County uccording na—Is this aninvestigation of Mr. Arm- E rehitect? Mr. Hinsda r.

The Wushington street en- was first looked at, Mr. Egan calling nt- the heavy blocks of polished granit which bore the weight of the ponderons coluum Pault was found in these because of the black spets upon their surface. but it was stated that stich large nit could not be pro- cured free mnnrks, Attention was called to the softness of some of the stone form- ing purt of the inner wall of the entrance, Com missioner Hutt stating that tbo sparrows had been eating it. Atthe Clark street main en- trance the urchiteet pointed out where limestone bad been substituted for granit in the arcade, and said that this was part of the “GIVE AND TAKE” ARRANGEMENT by which cheaper work was done in some por- ions of the building to allow of more expensive bems done in other: ae ‘The building was then entered, and in the aie where, Mr. Evan sald, no change had been untde, Mr. Armstrong called attention to the fast that fourteen granit panels and three ornamental keystones had been omitted. _,Some di: ion wus bad here, during which Mr. Egun said that if the omissions really repre- sented a value of $43,c00 charged by Mr. Armstrong, then the value of tha whole con- tract would be not less than $520.00, The Committee ad, 1 at tbout noon until 2p. m.. when il restimed its sessions; Commis- stoner Coburn presiding.

STORY OF A BROKEN DEART. New York World, ‘The officers of the seizure-room in the Cus- tom-House have been for several days await- ing the return of Mrs. Ray Gordon, a Phila- delphia milliner, who arrived in this city by the steamer Britannic on Jan. 31. She had as bageage two trunks, two boxes, and two hand-satchels, which were passed by Officer Hays, of the Custom-Ilouse squad, after a cursory examination. Inspector Voight no- tieed that her hand-satchels were not “chalked,” and’ insisted upon examining them. Finding in them a package of ribbon and another of lace, Voight sent the whole collection of baggage to the seizure-room of the Custom-Iouse. Mrs. Gordon promised , that'she would come to the Custom-ILouse in an hour’s time, and went to Krueger’s Hotel, No. 397 West street, to get, as she said, some- thing to eat and a short ri Here she said she wanted a room onee, She wv shown a room { frightened the porter by exclaiming: “Give me a pair of scissors— qu ? He declared that he had no s ‘Ors, and she replied: “Well, give me anything that will cut.” Afraid that she was about to commit suicide, he went down and informed the proprietor, who went up himself, and, being informed by the lad that she merely wished to rearrange her dress, lent’ her the scissors. In an hour Mrs. Gordon caine down-stairs, returned the scissors. and went to the Custom-House. Here meantime pack- ages of lace had been found sewn into the Innings of dresses or hidden in old shoes. On one undergarment 200 yards of edging had beén basted, and dr were folded: lengthwise with pieces of silk and velvet in the folds. ‘The following seizures were made: 108 yards of x, 102 of silk ribbon, 29 yards of silk Ince, 49 yards of piece velvet, 12 yards of velvet embroidery, 55 yards ot woolen dress goods, 473 yards of cotton edg i 317 yards of cotton lace, 1 Jace handker- chief, 1 lace shawl, 35 pieces of bead embroid- ery, 34 yards of lace trimming, and 10 packages of artificial flowers. Mrs: Gordon did notreturn to the hotel in West street, and as she had earried off the key Mr. Krue- ger became anxious, and on Wednesday sent for the poliee ot the Charles Street Precinet, Detectives Flanagan and Dilks opened and searched the room.

Boston Herald. x private letter recently received from an American lady, sojourning in Vienna, con- tains the following interesting gossi “Wehave been very much disappointed this week at the announcement of the post- ponement of the marriage of the Crown Prince of Austria with Stephanie, the Bel- gian Princess, fur which preparations on a grand scale have been going on here ail win- ter; a perfect carnival scason the nuptia week would have been, “The postponement is indefinit: the reason given is the Princess’ extreme youth; her parents say she is but a mere school-child, not strong, and they fear that the balls and festivities, generally, given in her honor, would be too much for her, particularly as she has not yet been to a ball or anything of the kind. You know Royal etiquet obliges her to come to Vienna to be married—her husband being of higher rank—an Jimperor’s son, and she only a King’s daughter, and besides, as Austria is a first and Belgium only a_ second rate Power. Poor little thing, I do not doubt she was homesick of the idea of com- ing away off here so forlornly to be married, that her father and mother had not the heart to let her go. Alas! for the fine innumerable costumes of the Countesses and Princes: which through the kindnessof a shopkeeper, or modiste, we are privileged, as strangers, to gaze upon,—ot superb ma terial, stiff with embroidery in crystal beads, chenille, gold thread, silver, jet, and garnet. Among the Viennese modistes there is a good deal of bitter feeling, as the Empress sends to Paris for almost her entire wardrobe, and, as she is at the head of fashion there, other ladies, of course, follow her example, which robs the Viennese of their wealthies customers. But they were all well pleased just now to hear the following story: : One of the leading modistes of the cit hoping to succeed where others had failed— took several of his newest customers to the Empress. With one of the dresses she was enchanted, but his price was more than she ‘thought even she ought to af- r She. coaxed Jum to sell it for but no, he would not, so he de- parted. All day and all that night she thought and thought about that dress. and the more she thought, the more she desired to possess it. So, early in the morning, she sent a messenger to the shopkeeper to order the dress, She must ivand would take itatany price. Alas! the manager returned, looking very woful, having the shopkeeper’s regrets that her Majesty was too late, as he had sold it to the Emperor the afternoon be- fore. Then she thought, ‘Chae dear man! some one has told him £ longed for that dress, and so he is going to surprise me with it; but he shall not get ahead of ine, the dear old due 0 off she drove and bought the finest present she could find, fook it to the Emperor, and presented it with a sweet speech and sweeter si Ile accepted it with the utmost wz both his pleasure and surprise.

The Dial The chief purpose of Dr. Schliemann's labors has been the veritication of the Homeric legends concerning Troy. It was an object worthy of the noblest endeavorsof his enthusiastic nature. Where did tho “Snered [lios" stand? Is Troy a myth; or was there really a city';where Prinm ruled,which was conquered, despoiled,and burned the Grecian hosts? Was tho Ten Years’ War, with its mighty deeds of arms, a fiction of the poet's brain? Did Homer invent the scenes, the events, the men and women, of the ‘Iliad? ‘These are the questions which this Intrepid ex- Pplorer in the field of classic Iegend took upon himself to answer. He had a profound faith in Homer,—an unwavering behef in the reulity of his narrative; and the task he undertook was to prove the objective correspondence of the little corner of land in the extreme northwestern cor- ner of Asia Minor with the poetic descriptions of the “ {liad.” and that the Hillof Hissarlik 1s the very place where stood tho * Holy City,” around which was enacted the “Tale of Troy Divine.” If the reader wil! Jook at a classical map of the country around the Hcliespout, be will find in Troas a point south of the strait (the actual dis- tance [s three miles) marked Novum Ilium, On imodern maps this name will be found changed to Hissarlik. For centuries after Homer's time, this was the accepted site of Troy. But sbout 200 B. C. a writer known as Demetrius of Scep- sic challenged the identity of Novum Ilium with the uneient Iios of Homer. His arguments were of the tlimsiest character; but, unfortunately, his views were udupted by Strabo, the geogrit- pher, whose authority was respected till the end of the last century. It is not certain where Demetrius and Strabo placed the site, but it is supposed to have been ata place now known as Aksbi Kioi (rather more than four miles | in a direct line southeast of Hi lik). In 1785, Lechevalicr, a Freneh traveler who had mude 2 basty examination of a portion of the | ‘Troad, put forward claims for # pluce called | Bounarbashi as the jot where ‘Troy bad stood in the days of its strength and glory.

He bns spent y to laying open the soil at both pisces, and produced incontestable proofs in phice which Greek tradition had a ted with | the story of the * Hixd."” ‘Three feet uw the surface of the hill :t Bounarbashi he struck the tid rock, und there were o¢itker ruins nor re- ing to show that any city had everstoad there. Mr. Philip Smita has said that ‘the theory of Jechevalier is a mere bypothesis, born from the funey of a modern traveler, without t its est historical or traditional foundation, might be added that not a single fact or princi- ple of urchvology cau be quoted in support of the Frenchman's theory. Dr. Schliemann went to work ina very different pursued very different methods, from predecessors. He organized aa ex- iS estublishment at Hissarlix, and labored with a zeal that knew no bounds. His exeava- xtend to a depth of fifty-two and one-huif feet from the surface. In penetrating to this depth he passed through a series of scven strata, differing from each other in many i: ticulurs. In bis opinion, these strate corre: toa succession of cities that above the otker through lung periods of time. The lowest stratum goes back to a_prehistoric age which must have antedated the Trojan war by many centuries: the highest stratum was the sizht of the Hellenic City of Novum Hium. It is the third stratum, rointy. three feet from the bottom and ten feet thick, which Schlie- mann identifies as the Homeric Ties, Here he ms to have tound the ruins of a city answers to all the requirements of the “ and it is to the substantiation of this claim that his book is devoted. It would be snecr presump- ti to think of summing up in a few lincs the immense mass of facts und reasoning gath- ered in the 800 pages of the work; but we may venture to state in the briefest form the princt- pal Propositions by which the conclusion is ob- tnined. First—The position of the Hill of Hissarlik answers ncurly all tho demands of the “ Iliad” as to the topogruphy and scenery of the sur- rounding country, in which the ‘action of the poem is represented as taking place. Second—The structure and armingement of the ruins of the third stratum which have been laid bare correspond to a remarkable extent with the descriptions of the poem. ‘Tnird—The place beurs the strongest evidence of having been destroyed by agrent contiegra- tion, and in this respect turnishes peculixr evi- dence of its identity witb tue city which Homer describes ag having been given to the fames by tho victorious Greeks. Fourth—The ten treasures of gold and silver found in or near the principal house prove the city to nave been the residence of a powertul and wealthy chief.—such an one as Priam 1s de- seribed to be inthe poem. These freasures af- ford good ground for the epithet “City of Gold,” 80 frequently used. Fifth—The archeological remains of all kinds found in such abundance are such as naturally | belong to the age which can fairly be a: ned to this third stratum of the excavations, and | correspond with great exactness to the descrip- tions of the * Iliad.” xth—The historical testimony, to which allu- ; sion bas nlready been made, is strongly c orative of the disclosurs mude by the e: tions at Hi: ik. It isnot i would have visited Novum Iium to make lit tions to the heroes in inthe Trojan war, or tbat Alexander would bavecoine thitner to offer 4 sacrifices to Priam when on bis “to the Eust. if the traditions which connceted Novuin Thum with the Troy of Homer had not been well founded and universally believed. It is not pretended, of course, that tbe topog- raphy and remains of the third city uncarthed at His3arlik correspond in every particular with the poem of Homer. It must not be forvotten that Homer deals with his matter in the large aud imaginative manner of the poet. Still, the agreement is much more strikrag than would be suspected; and, taken cogetber, the pruposi- tions stated above inake out an overwhelming euse in favor of Schliemann's views. As Prof. Virchow has well id, “Jt is not lett to our choice where we should place Lium; therefore we must have a place whick answers to all the requirements of the poetry; therefore: w compelled to sa; Here, upon the fortres of Hissarlik,—here, upon the ruins of the burnt s ye was Ilium.” Closely connected with the problem as to ! ‘roy stood are other questions of cinating interest. It is but a step to the in- quiry whether the persons and incideuts « scribed in the “illiad” are to be treated as myths or regarded is no rooi for the discussion -of this que: ve; but we may be permitted to rem tke publication of Dr. Sehliemann’s re- - searches but few scholars of eminence have cared to speak of the © Miad’ ns nothing more than a collection of poet fictions. 1, t= deed, nre not willing to folla Gladstone in yicidiung to Homer an_ historical authori- ty quite equal to that of Herodotus. But that the Trofan was was an actual stray. gied, “some seene of that act of the wurfare between Europe and in which made the Western coast of Asin forever Greek.” a3 M Freeman pursit, is u_ proposition entitled by every canon of historicat criticism to unquall- fied “acceptance. The traditions woven into poctic form by Homer must have rested upon a solid basis of fact. Transformed to a very con- siderable extent they no doubt were by “the vision and the faculty divine” of the poct; but we cannot close our eyes to the Hiterul exactness with which many of Homer's lines fit into the fucts revealed by Schliemann. Henceforth we may have the satisfaction of feeling that Homer was not only migbty in fan E singer of tho “ways and workings of the Olym- pian gods,"—but a trustworthy narrator of historic events. Achilles and Hector m: be the only names invented by the poct: but we may be sure that they stend for heros who actually engaged in dendly strite before the walls of Priam's ci We get from Prof. Virchow, « scicntitic observer ot Nature, so complete an {dea of the Trojan Plain and the surrounding scenery.as secn from Hissarlik, that it scems ulmost impossible to read the “Itad" now without realizing that it is not al fiction.
