A Report on the Quarrying Industry Is- sued by the Smithsonian, The Smithsonian Institution has issued an in- teresting report prepared by Mr. George P. Merrill, curator of the department of geology, on “The collection of building and ornamental stoues in the United States national museum.” The collection of building and ornamental stones in the national museum is made up very largely from materials received from the cen- tennial exposition at Philedelphia and from the tenth census at the close of the investiga- tion of the quarrying industries of the United States in 1880. This collection has been supplemented through the efforts of the late Dr. Hawes and of Mr. Merrill until it now com- prises upward of 2,900 varieties, chiefly from the quarries in the United States, though many foreign varieties are included, It is the infention, Mr. Merrill says, to udd to it from time to time such new ma- terials as shall be discovered in this country and also the principal varieties from foreign sources, especially such as are imported into the United States, As it is, the collection iorms a most interesting and practicall exhibit of the quarrying industry of the United States, und the report based on it is practically a hand book of that industry. It is handsomely illus- trated with views of quarries, the machines and implements used, sectional views showing the microscopic structure of rocks, the different kinds of finish, &c. Added to the report is alist of some of the more important stone structures of the United States, with the material employed and date of erection, which includes the following in thi: city: Executive mansion, sandstone, Acquia creek, ——; Treasury building, old ‘portion, sandstone, ‘Acquia creck, 1836-1; ‘Treasury building, new portion, granite, Dix Island, Me., 1855; patent office building, old portion, sandstone, Acquia creek, Va,, 1837-42; patent oflice building, extension, dolomite marble, Cockeysville, Md., 1949-64; chapel in Ouk Hill cemetery, mica schist, near Washington, ——; Georgetown college, new building, mica schist, near Washington, ——; Cabin John bridge, parapets and coping, sandstone, Seneca ervek, d, ; 1848-55; Washington monument, exterior. in part, dolomite marble, Lec, Mass., 1848-84; Washington monument, exterior, ‘dolomite marble, Cockeysville, Md., ——; Washington monument, interior, mica schist, near Wash- ington, granite, Massachusetts aud Maine, —; general post ‘office, old portion, dolomite | marble, West Chester, N.Y., 1839; general post office, extension, dolomite marble, Cockeys- ville, Md., 1855; United States Capitol, old por- tion, sandstone, Acquia creek, 1793; United States Capitol, extension, dolomite marble, Lee, Muse., 1851-65; United States Capitol, ex- tension, columns, dolomite marble, Cockeys- ville, Md., ——; Smithsonian Iustitution, sand- stone, Seneca creek, Md., 1847-56; St, Dominic's church, gneiss, Port Deposit, Md, ——; Cor- coran art gallery, in part, sandstone, Belleville, Sey State, War and Navy building, base- ment and subbasement granite, Maine, ‘super- structure granite, near Richmond, Va., 1871-86; Butler house, Capitol Hill, granite, Cape Ann, Mass., —. ee Death of George Martin. George Martin, correspondent of the Pitts- burg Times and one of the best known and most popular newspaper men in Washington, was stricken with paralysis at his home, 1408 Stoughton street, last night at7 o'clock and sank rapidly until 9 o'clock, when death came, His wife, ex-Minister Foster and a few friends who had been hurriedly called were at his bed- side in the last moments. In March of last year he suffered from a slight stroke of the same insidious foe, but a summer of restful travel in northern Lary with his wife worked so much benefit that came home feeling better, as he expressed it, than ever before in his life. He resumed his newspaper work and up to within a few hours of the fatal touch he was busy among his fellows. He was at the Capitol yesterday and dined as usual at6 o'clock. After dinner he went to his wife’s room, and while drinking a cup of tea the first premoni- tion came and he lay down.

THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS. An Interesting and Important Scrap of Paper Relative Thereto, While looking over some personal papers Mr. Findlay Harris of Tur Evexive Star last evening inadvertently came across a scrap of paper which is particularly interesting, as it is directly connected with the battle of New Orleans of which today is the 77th anniversary. The paper was found among some of the late Alexander Findlay of Abingdon, Va., grand- father of Mr. Harris, and was written by a sargeon of the English forces engaged in the fight on the 8th of January, 1815, It is as follows: “12 P.M., 197m Jay’y, 1814 “The bearer is directed by the principal medical officer in charge of the British and American wounded to report to the first ap- roaching American force the existence of an hea ital containing wounded of both nations and to request a communication with the first American officer upon this subject agreeable to the directions of the general commanding the British forces, Joun WAsDELL, urgeon to His Britanic Majesty's Forces,” This note is written in a perfectly legible running hand, and save a yellowness from age the paper and writing is as perfect as the day when written. Upon the back of this is the following indorsement by Mr. Findlay: “This note was handed me by an assistant surgeon of the British army on the day of its date, I being in command of the first American force that approached the hospital mentioned in the note, when I placed cant grt and guard at the hospital and went myself to report to Col. Thomas Hinds, who commanded the Miss- issippi dragoons, Failing to meet with Col. Hinds, he having gone down the bayou, the British com. ing up, 1 returned to the hospital,where I found George Poindexter, formerly United States Senator from Mississippi. at Dr. Wasdell’s quarters and who had during my absence taken formal surrender of the British wounded and was just about to accompany Dr. Wasdeli to see Gen, Jackson, About the time Mr. Poin- dexter and Dr, Wasdell left for Gen. Jackson's quarters, J took my command down the Mississippi and on my return to the hospital found Cornet Hay B. Harrison of the Jefferson troop, Mississippi dragoons, in command of the guard and hospital. = LEXANDER FINDLAY, ‘Mississippi Dragoons.” Accompanying this paper 1s a statement of Mr. Findlay concerning an incident which hap- pened just previous to the battle of New Orleans and which has never before been published, * “The note attached to this,” wrote Mr. Find- lay, referring to the one handed him by the British surgeon, “I received as stated on the back of it. In connection with my services as in the United States army at New Orleans are one or two circumstances which may possibly be of interest at some future day and known now only by my- self and Col. Arthur P, Hayne of South Caro- lina—the other person, Berry Prince, who was nizant of them, being tong since dead, as I believe. Ireached New Orleans on the night of December 22, 1814, belonging to the Jeffer- son troop of Mississippi dragoons, Lieut, Isaac Daler dai command of tie company, Col, Thomas Hinds in command of battalion or regi- ment of twenty-third division. The dragoons, 8 soon as it was said the British had reached the levee or were advancing toward it, were sent in advance of the army. Col. Hayne, inspector general, accompanying them. When we came in sight of the advance of the British army Col. Hinds made a move with his com- matd to the left, from the river toward the swamp, leaving Berry Prince and myself on the levee to hear any orders from Col. Hayne. Col. Hayne had rode on some short distance in frontof Prince and myself. After reconnoi- tering the British forces to his _ satis- faction he rode back to where Prince and myself were and directed one of us to tell Col. Hinds to order one company of the dra- goons tothe levee and requested to see Col. Hinds himself, I rode off and gave the ordera to Hinds and returned with him to the rive Col. Hayne requested an escort to Gen, Jack. son. Hinds said he would have to wait until the troop came up unless he would put up with Prince and myself. ‘Col. Hayne said we two would be sullie and we started im- mediately to wcet Gen, Jackson, who was advancing with the army. When we met the general the staff fell back and let Col. H. make hisreport. The colonel turned his horse im- mediately alongside of Gen. Jackson. Prince and myself wheeled immediately behind the general and Col. H., cutting the staff entirely off. Col. H. made his report, the general occa- sionally asking a question and throwing in a word. Col. Haynes said there were but few of the British and ad- vised Gen, Jackson to cut the levy to pre- vent their getting to the city and save the lives of the soldiers. Gen. Jackson's reply was if there be but a few of them we will whip them the easier, and immediately gave the colonel orders for the attack, “ * © © & «& Prince was sent with orders to some part of the army and with orders to Col. Hin The engagement commenced and I saw no more of Col. Hayne or the general that night. Gen, Jackson's determination to fight that night no doubt saved the city. * : ALEXANDER Finpuay. Abingdon, Va., January 23, 1860, cestode A New Captain for the Ordway Rifles. Tu pursuance to “Special Order No. 1, head- quarters District of Columbia national guard,” the enlisted men of company D, fourth bat- tulion (Ordway Rifles), assembled at their ar- mory last evening for the election of a captain to fill the vacaucy created some time since by the resignation of H. B. Durant. Maj. Camp- bell called the moekg to order promptly at 8 o'clock and two candidates were nominated, namely, Mr. Wm. E. Horton and Mr. A. K. Craulee. On the first ballot Mr. Horton re- ccived a majority of all the votes cast aud he was declared elected, after which Maj, Camp- bell made a few appropriate remarks, which were responded to by the newly elected cap- tain. Mr. Horton is a young man about twenty-three years of age and resides on Cap- itol Hill, where the company has its armory, When attending the high schoo! he had the honor of having the best-drilled company in the battalion. —__-___ The Industrial Home School. The regular monthly meeting of the directors of the industrial home was held last evening at the residence of Hon. 0. D. Conger. In the absence of the president, Mr. Gurley, Hon. J. B, Edmunds was called to the chair, Reports of the superintendent, matron, and other offi- cials were read showing the institution to be in excellent condition, there being ninety-four in- mates at the home.’ The prevailing epidemic has visited the institution. but ina mild form, and each case has yielded to careful treatment and assiduous attention of the superintendent, Mrs. Barlow. Votes of thanks were tendered to many friends for generous contributions to the late holiday festivals. Among others Mrs. Gurley sent a donation of $50 for the Christ- mas dinuer. Mr. Tupper made a report on in- dustries showing that the inmates had as much work as they could execute, but were somewhat delayed by reason of non-receipt of lumber, The floral depurtmentisa great success and every boy who learns this industry finds ready employment at acceptable salary. A special musical entertaiument will be co to the children tomorfow evening at the ome, to which all friends of the institution and relatives of the wards are invited, — ee Marriage Licenses, licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court to Robert Boner and Eliza- beth McKericher; Alex W.

Where Shall the World’s Exposition of °92 Be Held. FIRST HEARING ON THAT QUESTION BEFORE THE | SENATE SPECIAL COMMITTEE—ST. LOUIS PRE- SENTS HER CLAIMS—a CHANGE IN THE PROGRAM | OF HEARINGS, There was but little to spare in the Foom of the Senate committee on the District of Columbia when Senator Hiscock’s quadro- centennial committee declared itself ready this morning to hear argument as to where the ex- Position of "92 should be located. At the head of the long table sat Chairman Hiscock, occu- pying the chair which has heretofore been re- garded as sacred to the person of Senator In- galls, With Mr, Hiscock were Senators Wilson of Iowa, Farwell of Illimois, Stanford of Cali- fornia, Gray of Delaware, Cameron of Penn- sylvania, Vest of Missouri, and Representative Lee of Virginia, The latter two were a little late in coming, but they arrived before Col. C. H. Jones had advanced very far in his oration. Senator McKenna of West Virginia arrived at about 11:30, ST. LOUIS MONOPOLIZES THE MAP. “Why St. Louis is the place for the world’s fair of 1892” was the inscription above a huge map of the United States which war decorated with circles and with tabulated statements so aggregated as to show that St. Louis was all that the most critical could ask it to be. The circles radiated 500 miles—on the map—from three centers, Chicago, New York and St Louis, and especial attention was directed to the St, Louis circle by having it painted a carmine hue. Within this latter circle was everything which St. Louis deemed necessary to properly support a great exposition. To an observer who was ten fect away from the map there did not seem to be any other city thereon than St. Louis. That center was murked by a star which totally eclipsed a large section of the state of Illinois and which was labeled With the mame of the city it represented. WHO WERE THERE. Every chair in the roomy apartment was fally occupied and a number of imprompta | seats were arranged by those who soon tired | of standing. Nine-tenths of those present | were from St, Louis and the other fraction was j made up of District Commissioner Douglass, | Secretary Alexander D. Anderson of the board of promotion, Secretary Cragin of the Chicago committee, Messrs, Jeffrey and Bryant, the lake side orators, anda number of newspaper men. Among the faces familiar to Was! those of Gov. D, R. Francis, ex~ Stanard, ex-Secretary of Agriculture Colman, — resentative John J, O'Neill and Gen, John Clark, ex-clerk of the House of Representa- tives. New York’s only apparent representa- tive was ex-Chief Clerk of the Treasury E. B, Youmans. He took frequent notes of what was said by the St. Louis advocates, and went away with « good deal of matter which may or may not be utilized by the Gotham delegation when it talks on Saturday. The committee decided that Chicago should advance its arguments tomorrow, Washington on Friday and (according to previous agree- meut) New York on Saturday. Later, however, the time of appearance was changed, That gave St. Louis the opening in THE GREAT CONTEST OF ELOQUENCE, and it did it with thoroughness—from the St. Louis standpoint, The representatives of the Missouri city were up early and displayed con- siderable activity. They were unanimous on two matters—they all believed that St. Louis was the only place in the country which was | le to take care of the world’s fair and they all wore blue ani gold badges with silver me- dallions dangling from the glittering cross bars, hington were io GOV. FRANCIS OPENS THE BALL. Gov. Francis of Missouri opened the discus- sion. There was probubly, he said, no subject on which the people of the United States were so nearly unanimous (he might say enthusi- astically so) as that of commenting properly on the discovery of a new world by Oolumbus, He did not desire to inject into the disc any sectional issue. He would rather elevate it to the proud and high plane of national ben- efits, pecause it was a question in which the | entire country was interested. He believed | that an exposition of the kind contemplated | would serve to obliterate sectional differences, | It would encourage and promote a national | spirit in this country and would produce the mort kindly feeling between all the nations that would partitipate therein. He and the gentlemen with him came representing a sec- tion of country whose claims and benetits would be presented today. They came repre- senting a people who were hospitable by instinct and were schooles in entertaining. If they could not convince the committee that St. Louis was well able and equipped to teke proper care of the great international exposition they would not lay claim to it. They believed that great good would accrue to the nation from the location of the fair im the city of St. Louis. They came representing a state that had claims upon the national government, That state had con- tributed to the glory and the wealth of the nation, Its population of three and « quarter millious was a unit on the subject. They were enthusiastically desirous of having the fair located in the state of Missouri, and he gave the committee bis pledge that they would bring no discredit on the nation if the committee would honor them by locating the fair there. It would be the pride of every citizen of that state to make the fair a credit to the nation. He concluded by introducins to the committee Col. C. H. Jones of St. Louis, WHAT COL. JONES CLAIMS FOR 8T. LOUIS, Mr. Jones said that he spoke for a city which, if the national government had not already been permanently located in the beautiful city of Washington, would ve fixed upon by com- mon consent as the most appropriate place for the seat of government. If the national capi- tol were to be located now (in the light of ex- isting conditions and having in view the spread of territorial area, the trend of population and the development’ of transportation facilities) he believed that St. Louis would hardly have a competitor for the choice. Centrality of loca- tion, ease of access by land and water and friendly, social and business relations with every section of the country would be the con- trolling factors. The pull of gravity was to- ward the center, and St, Louis was now aud would continue to be THE GREAT CENTRAL INLAND METROPOLIS of the United States. He had nothing to say in disparagement of Washington or any other city. He hoped that every foreign visitor to the exposition would visit the capital city and see for himself the home and the working of the federal government. But while that for- eign visitor contemplated it he would naturally ask: “Whence comes the dynamic force that propels and the wealth that supports this mighty popular engine?” And the exposition will point him directly to the wonderful Mississippi valley—the principal seat of the nation's pro- ductiveness, and where, in the not far distant future, would be found a population far out- numbering the teeming millions of Europe. In that valley lay St. Louis, the central ganglion of its distributing system, St. Louis asked the committee to consider these facts in locatin the world’s fair of 1892. Public opinion had centralized around the idea of the commemora- tion of the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus. So much had been said and written about it that the world had come to expect it. And what indeed could be more fitting than to commemorate that immortal upon fore: then unquestionably the fair should be held near enough to the center of the nation’s productiveness and power. ‘The applause which followed the clever cone clusion of Col. Jones’ address was bearty and prolonged, but none of the members of the senatorial committee were noticed as partici pants in it, nor did Commissioner Douglas ive vent to anything that could be construed to approval of the argument. EX-GOVERNOR E. ©. STANARD, who followed Col. Jones, at once impressed his hearers with bis enthusiastic earnestness. His hearers wero not all in the room either, for even with the doors closed the strident tones of his high-pitched voice rang through the cor- ridors; heavy walls and solid walnut doors could not confine the product of his lungs withim the narrow bounds of a committee room. There wasa little of the humorous in Mr. Stanard’s brief remarks and there was also a good deal that was interesting and instructive, FINANCTAL. Gov. Stannard, referring to the trade features Of the fair, said that the exhibits intended for show aud the spectators can be carried to and from St. Louis more cheaply than to and from any other city in the country, because of its su- perior facilities of transportation by water and rail. St, Louis wants the fair and will doas mucl toward guaranteeing the expenses as any other ee ail things considered, To Senator Vest Gov. Stannard said the sub- scriptions to the guarantee fund are genuine and can be relied on. They amount now to over tour million and are coming in at the rate of £10,000 a day. There is no doubt of the abiity of the citizens of St. Louis to do as hey promise. “If the world’s fair is awarded to St. Louis,” said Gov. Stannard, in closing, “we will make ita credit to the nation and to <n of the earth.” hen the ex-governor concluded his speech the chaplain in the Seuate had said his mora- ing praver aud the Vice President had aa- nounced the order of business, CHICAGO DOESN'T WaNT DELAY. The quadro-centennial committee was not, however, quite through, for Mr. Thomas B, Bryant, who, with Mr, Jeffrey, will talk “Chi- cago” when the time comes, asked for a min- ute's time and a little attention, He said that the Chicage committee had been notified to be present today with its argument and Chicago had arrived. Her representatives had traveled @ thousand miles tw be here om time and were astonished to find that New York (but five or six hours from Washington) had asked for and obtained a delay, an exten- sion of time. Chicago asked for no delay ready at any time—but it did n placed in a position which mig! : tageous. The Chicago committee and the Ili- huis congressional delegation had met last might and discussed the matter and had instructed its speakers to request that they be heard on the same day as the orators from New York. A CHANGE OF PROGRAM, Senator Hiscock taiked the proposition over with the comunttce and it was finally agreed to adjourn until Friday morning at 10 o'clock,when Washington will open the ball. The committee will continue in session on probabilities are that Chic: will be heard the same day Saturday. Replies to the arguments will be received, not orally but in writing. ACCOUNTING FOR NEW You! DELAY, There are half a dozen rumors abroad Beto why Now York asked for delay in the hearing and was given Saturday. Most popular and most widely circulated 1s the opinion that the shre lawyers who will represeut Gotham realized the advantage two gained by what would practically be 4& rebuttal argument. This temporarily rospective advantage was kicked from beneat New York this morning. Another alleged rea- son for delay is a story that the New York leg- islature, now in session, would before Satur- day pass a bill authorizing the city of New York to issue €15,000,000 in bonds, which would, with the subscriptions already promased, quite a respectable guarantee fund, AFTER THE WALNUTS AND THE WINE, In his remarks before the Senate committee this morning Mr. Bryant of Chicago referred toa meeting last night at which the Chicago citizens committee and the Illinois congres- sional delegation consulted with each other, The deliberations of these gentlemen were eon- ducted around one of Welcker’s dining tables and lasted more than five hours, An elaborate menu was disposed of and then there was busi- Less, private business; business which bas not leaked out. SPEAKER REED'S SUGGESTION, The promoters of the world’s fair project representing Washington, New York and St, Louis are working to change the reference of the measures on this subject from the House committee on foreign affairs, of which Mr, Hill of Ilinois is chairman, to special committee to be appointed by the Speaker. Great pressure has been brought to bear on the Speaker to make this change, and this morning a meeting of the committee on rules was held to consider the question. The committee Was in session for some time and very thor- oughly discussed the question, but failed to come to any conclusion. It is understood that Speaker Keed suggested that a proper solution ot the question might be to let the matter re- main with the committee on foreign affairs, and that they be instructed to report a general bill providing for the proposed celebration and suggesting 4 plan, without naming the piace of holding the celebration. The omission of the name of the city at which the celebration shall be held can be supphed bya vote of the House. It is thought by a number of members that it would be just as well to leave this question of site to be decided by the whole House without auy recommendation from the committee. — SILCOTT IN THE DISMAL SWAMP, A New and Queer Theory of the Where- abouts of the Runaway Cashier. REQUEST FoR A new theory as to the whereabouts of De- faulter Silcott is that he is hiding in the fast- nesses of the Dismal Swamp. The reason for this theory is that just a few days before he aud the Congressmen'’s money disappeared he re- turned from along hunting trip with a large supply of game, ducks, geese and quail, which he said he had shot in the Dismal Swamp, In speaking of his trip he said that if any one wanted to hide where the whole United States ggvernment could not find him the place to go was to the Dismal Swamp. It is thought to be possibie that he contemplated putting to the test his theory of the security of this hiding piace, and that his trip was not for the purpose of shooting game, but to make a sort of survey of the swamp. A curious fea- ture of the case that rat leads to this conclusion is that in all probability the game he had in such abundance was not shot by him Il He sent some of the quail to Mr Leedom who, wanting them prepared for cook- ing in acertain way, skinned them himself. He discovered while removing the skins that the birds had never been shot at all that; they had been trapped. ‘MR, LEEDOM'S WILD-GOOSE CHASE.
