Sinco the passage of the homestead law it has become the almost universal practice for settlers to secure claims under both that and the pre-emption law, in addition to which they have usually taken "the benefit. or the timber culture law, thus aggregating under the three laws a maximum estate of four hundred and eighty acres to each settler. It has been cus- tomary to take up the pre-emption and “tree claim” at once, and after the lapse of the short- est necessary interval to mortgage the former for enough to pay the government price of it, When, having secured title, the settler was at liberty to move away and ‘take the benefit of the homestead law.

He charges this falling off to the seven Month extension of the. bonded period for whisky, He recommends that legislation be had whieh, in Lieu of the present method of tax- ing and exempting fractions of gallonsof spirits, shull authorize the assessment and collection monthly of the tax upon the whole number of gallons which the fractions of gallons removed from each distillery warehouse may aggregate. ‘The commissioner also recommends that the provisions of the act of Mareh 3, 1877, under which grape branay producers are afforded the advantage of three yeurs’ storage of thelr pro- duct in special bonded warehouses be made applicable to distillers of brandy from all ai He ‘recommends also the abolition of the office of inspector of tobacco. ‘The tobacco crop the report shows to have been _ Dr. Curry Will Be Well Received.

I think we are going to have a quiet, hard-working session.” “Wili not the democrats oppose some of the nominations?” asked the reporter. “As to that, I can't say. I have not talked with any of the Senators, and don't know just what the feoling is.’ There has been some complaining, but we in West Virginia have no cause for dissatistaction. The party is not quite pleased with the matter of appoint- ments, but We are ourselves in a great measure to blame for this, We have not agreed always upon what ought to be done.

RENOVATING THE CAPITOL. Making the Building Ready for the Meeting of Congress. NEW CARPETS ON THE HOUSE SIDE—commrT- TEE ROOMS OVERHAULED—HOUSE CLEANING IN THE SENATE WING, 4c, Two weeks from to-day the Forty-ninth Con- gress will convene, and there is a bustle of Preparation at the Capitol, putting the building in final readiness for the event. The work of cleaning up, repairing and making improve- ments generally has been going on at the Capi- tol during the entire recess. Under the direet supervision of Chief Clerk Towles, a new car- pet of original design has been laid on the floor ofthe House, The carpet was made to order, and 1,300 yards, the quantity hitherto used to cover the floor, was ordered. But with the view to economy, @ design in which the figures formed a perfect square was adopted. A it deal of cutting has to be done in fitting’ a carpet to that floor, and as the square figure made it easy to Join pieces and fragments 155 yards ‘were saved. The desks have all been thoroughly cleaned, revarnished, &c.,and the gildings and brass work repolished. The corridor of the members’ private lobby on the south side of the hall is carpeted with a.magnificent Wilton rug 100 feet long by 8 feet wide. The private site ling or retiring rooms, just across the lobby, are furnished with the same heavy and elegant set of furniture which was bought for that purpose. It is as good as new. THE LOBBY AND CLOAK ROOMS. Hitherto the lobby floor has been left uncov- ered, and the clattering of maay fect upon the marble tiling has added no little to the noise and confusion which so frequently disturbed the, deliberations of the House. The cloak- rooms have been ome in light colorsand re- frescoed in soft tints, the happy effects of which is to be seen at aglance, Hither ma, almost entirely shut off from natural ligitjhave been dark and gloomy. The change is a cheer- fulone. The cloak-rooms are carpeted for the first time, and the House will be spared the noise made -by the contact of heavy boot heels with the marble tiling. The floors are covered with heavy rugs of dark color, brown ntainly predominating, the color being selected with a view to con- ceal cigar ashes and tobacco stains. The com- mittee rooms have been overhauled and gener- ally cleaned; the post office has been made more commodious and convenient; the fixtures have been newly painted, and in one corner an ample space for members to assort their mail or do such writing as they wish has been provided. The reporters’ gallery and con: necting rooms have been carpeted all over with fine body Brussels carpet; the old. furniture has been cleaned and repaired, and some new furniture added. In fact, the reporters’ gallery is more comiortable now than ever before. ‘The Speaker's room has been laid with an elegant Wilton velvet c: et, rich red predomi- nating, and a bright gold border surrounding it. “The carpet is pecullarly appropriate to the heavy old mahogany furniture in the roo! The folding rooms, clerks’ offices and docu- ment. rooms have been given a thorough clean- ing and retouching. ‘THE SENATE WING, On the Senate side of the Capitol there has been less new material purchased, as that wing had Leen more recently supplied with carpets, furniture, ete., than the House. Under the direction, however, ofSergeant-at-Arms Cana- day, the painters, frescoers, upholsterers and cleaners have imparted a bright new look to everything. An additional committee-room has been created by taking out the closets in the northwest corner of the basement floor and removing them beneath the stairway, near the library committec-room, ‘The rooms of the committees on claims and privil and elec- tions have been newly frescoed. « he restaurant is being handsomely fitted up and changes made which will add to the convenience of the trons. Pine middie portion of the building has re- ceived its due share of attention under the sy- pervision: of Architect Clark. Nor has the clean- Ing process been confined to the interior. Forces of workmen mounted upon nigh plattorms: and scatfolds have scoured and rubt the exterior walls, the columns of the porches and the ta- cades until they look as bright and clean as if newly erected. ‘They Met ata Skating Rink.

New York, Nov. 23.—The accidental upset- ting of @ Kerosene lamp in the rooms of Otto ‘Matwzek on the third floor of the five story ten- giment, 404 East 64th street, early this morning ‘was the signal for agonizing scenes of terror death. The house und the one adjoining were filled with Bohemian cigar makers employed in a neighboring cigar factory. One hundred and Silty people slept soundly when the ery of fire wasraised. The flames communicated to the floors above through convenient air shafts, A scene of wild contusion and panic ensued. ‘The frightened tenants took to the fire escapes with all’ haste. They were given shelter by the neighbors while the firemen were fighting the flames. This Was not an easy task, as the upper stories and the root were ablaze aud the flames had spread to 406. Reinforcements were sum moned and the fire was quickly subdues About $15,000 damage was done to the build: ings and the property of the tenants, There been some narrow escapes and one or two women with their childron were reported to have been slightly burned in thei: rush for the fire escapes. But the firemen were not prepared to find a whole family smothered to death, In a rear room on the top floor of No. 404 they came upon Mary Tialka,a Bohemian widow. 40 years old, and her children, Mary, aged and Annie, aged 6 years, lying dead. ‘They hat been smothered “by the smoke ascending through the airshaft that cut off their to the front and the strect, It was three hours after the outbreak when this discovery was made.

A report spread early among the homeless tenantsthat the house had been deliberately set on fire by one of their number. Henry Kohnt, a Bohemian cigarmaker, was pointed out as the guilty one. He had disap) and did not show up until later In the morning. By that time the police had collected evidence enough to make a charge of arson and murder against him. The excitement of the Bobemians had become furious, and threats of lynching were made it Kohnt’ were found. Kohnt is in- sured for $900, while his furniture is scarcely worth $75, and the charge is that he set fire to the house to get this money. The fire marshal began taking testimony later concerning the origin of the fire. From this it appeared that the fire broke out in Kohnt’s room instead of Matorzek's room, and kerosene oil had been poured aver the bed’ and floor. ‘The hallway and stairs were in flames and the only. way of for the tenants was by the fire escapes in the Pontand rear. Kohnt was idenfified by one of nts as the man who threw something like water out of a pail on the burning stairs.
