Superintendent of Streets H. N. Moss has called the attention of the Commissioners to the improper use made of the asphalt pave- ments by parties concreting cellars, &., with asphalt. He says the hot asphalt lumped on the roadway and has burnt the pavement ina number of instances, Bonfires have also been built on these pavements. that the police be instructed to prevent this. The Commissioners have approved of his rec- ommendations and the police will look into the matter, A WRECKED CHIMNEY. Some days ago Mr. E. B. Hughes, of 8th and B streets southeast, called the attention of the Commissioners to a fire-alarm wire attached to his house having wrecked the chimney, and re- esting repair of the same at the expense of the District. Superintendent Miles, to whom the matter was referred, reports that to re- move the wire a pole will have to be erected in the alley between 7th and 8th and B and C streets southeast, and recommends that a re- quisition covering the cost of the pole and the repairs to Mr. Hughes’ house be approved. MISCELLANEOUS, Some days ago Mr. Joseph Paul asked per- mission of the Commissioners to fill Meridian avenue, on 16th street, above the stand-pipe, and be allowed 10 cents per cubic yard. The Commissioners have granted the request. The Commissioners have ordered an expendi- ture of $250 to repair Anacostia bridge.

Been Elected President. THE RETURNS NOW KEPT UNDER LOCK AND KEY IN MR. INGALLS’ STRONG BOX—THE CEREMONY THAT WILL TAKE PLACE XEXT MONTH—ORDER OF PROCEEDINGS AT THE JOINT SESSION. The greatest care is taken by President pro tem. Ingalls that the certificates of the elec- toral votes of the several states that are placed in his keeping shall not be stolen or destroyed. On the second Wednesday of February the last formal act in the election of President and Vice-President of the United States occurs. At lo’clock on that day the two houses of Con- gress meet in joint session and solemnly count the votes as returned by the several states, The special messengers who bear the certifi- cates, under the great seals of the states, have begun to arrive. These certificates, showing the electoral vote of each state, are made out in triplicate, but those from which the count is made are in the possession of the presi officer of the Senate. He is responsible for their safe-keeping until they are counted. If they should be stolen or destroyed it would not invalidate General Har- rison’s election, but it might occasion some embarrassment if anything was found to be wrong with them when the count was made in the presence of the crowded House and packed lleries. Mr. Ingallsis determined that noth- ing shall happen to these certificates while in keeping. The fact that he has them—that they are in existence—is mentioned only in a o- whisper, and the place of their keep- A GREAT SECRET, as profound a secret as the doings of an execu- tive session. It is vaguely understood that they are under strong lock somewhere in the capitol building, but the exact place of their conceal- ment is known to but few. Before the first state messenger arrived with his precious charge Mr. Ingalls had purchased a fire-proof and burglar-proof safe, which was taken, as secretly as such a bulky thing could be, to the room in which he proposed to keep the certificates. In this safe the certificates are kept. No one knows the combination by which the steel bolts may be thrown back but Mr. If he should die or suddenly for- get the combination the services of a safe- cracker would be required to facilitate the electoral count. But all is not trusted to the strength of the safe ie “a coo me its epee pe . A jetail is made from the ito] police force, the most trusted men being selected to pe over the room. Two men are se- lect them is on watch at the door of the room ight and day. io one handles these votes but Mr. Ingalls. and he does not break the seal until the two houses are assembled in joint session to seo him do it. Everybody knows that General Harrison has been elected President and Mr. known to Congress until these votes have been counted in their august presence, THE COUNT takes place in the House. At the appointed hour on the 13th of February the Senate will march to the House in a body, headed by President pro tem. Ingalls. Just before this occurs Mr. Ingalls will goto his strong safe, think ig? the combination, turn the nickel- plated knob this way and that until it is set right, throw open the heavy door and take out the sealed packets containing the vote. He will not rey them over toa messenger or even to the sergeant-at-arms to carry, but will tuck the packets carefully under his arm, not part- ing with them untilhe has broken the seals and the vote is laid before the House. After the appointment of the electors is made and certified to according to law, and their vote: are cast, as they were on the second Monday January, three certificates of the vote are made. One is placed inthe hands of the court in the state, one is sent to the presidi: officer of the Senate by mail, and one by special messenger. It is supposed not to be likely that both the messenger and the mail will fail in any one case, and the two methods of transportation are adopted for se- curity. Still, if both should fail, new certifi- cates could be got from the state. The count- ing of the electoral vote is an interesting cere- mony. A full quorum of each house may be depended upon to be present during the count. The presiding officer of the Senate presides over the joint session. HOW THEY WILL sf, By the solemn enactment of a law it is de- clared how the assemblage shall be seated. Section seven of the act declares: “That at such joint meeting of the two Houses seats shallbe provided as follows: For president of the Senate, the Speaker's chair; for the Speaker; immediately upon his left; the Sena- tors, in the body of the hall ie the right of the jiding officer; for the Representatives, in the body of the hall not provided for the Senators; for the tellers, secretary of the Sen- ate and clerk of the House of Representatives, at the clerk’s desk; for the other officers of the two houses, in frontof the clerk’s desk and upon each side of the Speaker's platform.” There is no law as to the exact attitude in which the members shall sit, but it is expected to be more dignified than that usually adopted during the sessions of the House. It is a question whether the count would be conducted legally if the seating should be dit- ferent from that foe for. If the Speaker should change his seat, or the clerk of the House sit at the sergeant-at-arm’s desk, it might make the count irregular. e members of the House must sit close to make room. The wives of Senators and mem- bers are often admitted to the lobbies and the space back of the members’ seats. The galle- ries and corridors are crowded with spectators. The ceremony is conducted with the solemnity appropriate to such an important occasion in e evolution of the people’s government. It is there declared who is to be the head of the nation for four years succeeding the 4th of March. Usually, as in the present instance, this is but the formal announcement of what is already a fact, but it might occur that objec- tion would be made to certain returns which would change the result. Then, from a merely perfunctory ceremony, the occasion would be- come one of intense interest and suspense. The two houses would be called upon to de- cide, a which of two men had been elected. ie Senators would withdraw to their own end of the capitol, and the two houses would mect separately to decide upon the merits of the objections. Should this count fail to show that any man had a majority of the electoral votes, the House would be called upon to elect the Pres- ident and Vice-President of the United States, voting by states. No such complications as these can arise un- der the present circumstances. There is no dispute as to General Harrison and Mr. Mor- -WASHINGTON, D.C FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1889. t i @ Bre nuinutem ad not more than oure: Oat after ench debate shall of the question without THE JOINT SESSION CONTINUOUS.

THE MAGNIFICENT MAUSOLEUM IN WAICH MRS. GOULD Now Lis. From the Boston Record. The death of Mrs. Jay Gould naturally at- tracts attention to the Gould tomb. Mr. Gould’s tomb is built upon the highest ground in Woodlawn cemetery, The acre cost Mr. Gould $50,000. It was Mrs. Gould who’ wanted the mausoleum built, and the cemetery people after the style of the old Parthenon. The temple is built throughout of Westerly, R. L. ranite, It is 22 fect wide, 33 feet long and 20 feet high to the apex of the roof. The col- umns are 1034 feet high and 13 inches in dia- meter in the widest part, having the slight swell of the Ionic order. Three rows of steps, running all around, lead up to the temple and form the exterior of its base. The columns and the walls are alike unorna- mented. In the doorway are two doors of bronze opening inward. e lower part of the for this duty and one or the other of Morton Vice-President, but legally it is not door is of solid bronze panelled, and cach part is ornamented on the outside with a dragon's head; a big iron ring swinging in the mouth of each dragon.

Along the sides of the interior are the cata- combs. There are 20, 10 on each side, in four rows of five each, the rows on each side “op f separated in the middle by a ite slab, stained glass window at the back lights the crypt.

It is un- derstood that the cost of the mausoleum was about $30,000, Ghosts as Voters. REPRESENTATIVE WISE'S REPLY TO MR. WADDILL'S NOTICE OF CONTEST, = * Representative Geo. D. Wise, in his answer to Judge Edmund Waddill’s notice of contest for the seat in the next Congress from the third Virginia district denies generally and specifically each and every allegation contained in the notice, and charges that Waddell’s friends voted the names of negroes who had died months before the election. Of Carter Marshall, one of these, Mr. Wise says: “I as- sert and shall prove that said Marshall had been dead for months. It is unfair to count a living voter for you who did not vote, but it was oy eee to make a dead man vote, even in the darkness of night, when the dead are alleged to leave their graves. I shall prove that this was not the only dead man whose ghost was required to vote for you that night. Some even had the boldness to venture out during the day.

Loudon, of Silver Spring township. Fought’s absence was the cause oi much comment, and it was thought it was due to financial trouble. Loudon alleges that Fought gave a note to David Fogelson for 600. The note in question was payable one year from the second day of April, 1888, and was signed by John Fought and Joha M.
