PROVISIONS MADE FOR A BIG STRUCTURE TO AO- COMMODATE OTHE BRANCHES OF THE GOVERN- MENT SERVICE—OBJECTIONS IN THE GENATE AGAINST ANY ARCHITECTURAL MONSTROSITY. The conferees on the sundry civil bill have arrived atan agreement, so far as every item in the bill is concerned, except the amend- ments which are involved directly or indi- rectly in the irrigation survey. That much- debated subject, however, is not touched upon im the report which was submitted to the Sen- ate yesterday afternoon. THE CITY POST OFFICE BUILDING. Of more local importance than anything else in the measure is the amendment affecting the proposed city post office building. The origi- nal proposition was the purchase of the square bounded by 11th and 12th and C and D streets northwest and the erection thereon of a build- ing which should not cost more than $300,000. The conferees thought it would be more economical to appropriate more money and get more building, so that the overcrowded de- partments could be relieved by occupying the extra floors. The architect of the Treasury told the conferees that @ suitable post ottice building could be put up on the proposed site and the site purchased for the total sum of $1,400,000, and he also stated that for $200,000 additional per story he could add five stories to the three in the original plans. With this in- formation before them the conferees reported an appropriation of 1,900,000 for the building alone, THE DISCUSSION. Senator Hawley was the first to make objec- tion; he thought such a huge building in such ® situation—not parallel with Pennsylvania avenne—wonld be at least unsightly. Senator Morgan renewed his opposition to the site by making inquiry as to how the water ing to be kept out of the basement; to which Mr. Allison replied that the supervising architect had assured the conferees that mod- ern machinery was fully equal to the task of keeping that basement dry. THE TERRIBLE EXAMPLE OF THE PENSION BUILD- INQ. Then Mr. Hawley said: ‘Let me call atten- tion to the fact that there has been a great deal of criticism of the Pension building by reason of its height and enormity and lack of decora- tion, and now you are about to put in one of the most prominent places on the avenue a huge brick building. I hope they will break the ex- terior lines and give it a trifle of decoration. if you are going to put up there an eight-story building, with some twelve or fifteen fect to each story, counting floorage, that is going to be a deformity, in view of the avenue, and it will dwarf inthe general prospect the other buildings, whether it be the Smithsonian Insti- tution, the Agricultural Department and the Museum on one side, or the Treasury or the White House beyond, with the State Depart- ment. There is going to be one huge enormity rising up in the middie of the city above every other public building, unless there be competi- tion with the Pension Ottice. Mr. Allison—I have faith that the supervis- ing architect will not in this capital erect a building which can fairly be calied what the Senator from Connecticut characterizes as a deformity. I think we can trust him to provide asuitable building so far as ornamentation is concerned. He is not obliged to build an eight- story building; we do not require him to do so, but he stated that an eight-story building could be erected there. Mr. Hawley—I leave my prophecy on record that we shall be sorry for that eight-story building in that position. Mr. Ailison—I leave my prophecy on record that the first story is to be uranite and the re- maining stories are to be of brick with terra cotta ornaments. Mr. Cockrell—Then if the granite sinks it will not decompose. Mr. Hawley—And the last five stories with- out ornament at all will look ke a great barn. Mr. Allisou—Oh, no; $200,000 a story will erect a suitable building so far as ornament is concerned. Mr. Teller—I should like to suggest to the Senator from Iowa that we have tried this economical plan of constructing buildings— that is, without any ornament. The Pension Office,’ which is perhaps the most suitable building for doing public work of any building in the city, is not creditable from an architec- tural point of view. Had there been $50,000 added to the million that was put into that building it might have been ce acreditable, handsome buiiding. The Senator from Iowa tells me that it did not costa million. It cost just about a million, as I recollect. It was said that it could be built for €400,000 in the first lace, Ls Mr. Allison—Six hundred thousand dollars. Mr. Teller—Four hundred thousand dollars, It was increased from that time until the direct ap- propriations were $300,000, and there have been appropriations made from time to time since. Now, to attempt to restrict the architect to the erection of a plain, simple building on the il result just as stated by the Senator from Connecticut, and if he follows out the suggestions of the committee and of Congress we shall have just such a building architecturally as we have in Judiciary Square down here. Mr. Hawley—Worse, Mr. President. Mr. Teiler—Or perhaps worse, because it will be in a place where it will be more observable and where the size of the building will render its height still more conspicuous and its eccen- tricities still more ovservable. Mr. Allison—I wish to say to the Senator that we have not limited or restricted the su- pervising architect in respect to this building im any way except one. We have provided that it shall not exceed eight stories high and that the cost shall not exceed $1,:4W), Mr. Teller—That is, ground and all, Mr. Allison—No, sir; 1,900,000 for the build- ing. so that when it is completed there will be 2,500,000 here. I do not think that Senators can fairly say that this is tobe an unsightly or unornamental building until a! are made. Mr. Cullom—I was going to inquire whether the committee propose to limit the architect to the kind of pians that shail be adopted or the style of building that he shall put up. Mr. Allison—In no sense. Mr. Cullom—I should hope not. Mr. Allison—He is not limited in any sense | either as to material We made an outside limit as to cost and an outside limit as to the height. , Hawley—Mr. President, one word more. 1 am not at all satisfied; I protest against any eight-story government building in this Dis- trict—— Mr. Edmunds—So do L Mr. Hawley—Because there is room enough, and I do not know the eight or twelve-story building, the monstrosities in the country of that height, that will look well in this city. It is out of proportion entirely, and I tell you it | dwarfs all the private buildings. some of them fine, that will be You will have some great bu ong both sides of enue in good time, but you dwarf the , Tising away up above them ail, 120 fect bigh, m a monstrous mass of brick.

One brave man, with the muzzle of his ro- peating rifle pointed steadily at the door of the state prison work shop, yesterday afternoon beld at bay 500 yelling and infuriated convicts until they were overpowered by the police. This man was Officer Howard of the prison force on guard upon the wall facing the jail work shop. The plan of the convict uprising was to shoot thisman and then for such as could to scale the prisonwall and runaway, but the hand of the man appointed to kill him was unsteady, and although fired at twice, Howard was not hit, Then the riotous convicts, not daring to venture out within reach of Howard's rifle, raged back and forth in the work shop, ishing doors and windows, breaking Chee ing breakable and shouting and cursing. It was not until more than one hundred police officers, each with a drawn revolver, entered the prison gates and forced their way into the work shop, that the revolt was checked. This trouble at thé prison, which was the most threatening that has arisen for a long time, dates back five or six weeks, to the time when the Berthrong measurement system of obtaining and recording descriptions of the prisoners was put into force. The prisoners then became noisy and insulting, and during one night kept up ® constant clamor in their cells. ‘The locking up in close continement of about twenty of the ring-leaders and the de- tention of the remainder of the ten im their cells for three or four days putan end to the disturbance for the time, but the atmosphere remained charged with insubordination, and any unusualevent was suflicient to excite the men to overt tactics. This came ia the suc- cessfui escape of Moore last Sunday and the subsequent ansuccessful effort of “Chicken Welch, @ notorious Boston criminal and leader of the‘‘Albany street gang,” recently impris- oned, THE SIGNAL FOR AN OUTBREAK, ‘There are 593 convicts in the prison, a great part of them being employed in the shoe shop. At 2:35 yesterday afternoon, evidently upon some preconcerted signal, nearly all of the men the shoe shop broke out into terrible shout- | ing, yelling and all sorts of disorderly noises, In the shop where the disturbance occurred many of the “Albany street gang” were said | to be at work, and it is supposed that they raised the row in the hope that some of them might escape during the excitement and con- fusion. The new prison officials in the shop were utterly unable to auell the riot and fled for their lives. Officer Howard was patrolling the prison wall opposite the door which opens from the shoe shop into the yard. Ries oe It would appear that the plan was to intimi- date the shop officials and then to shoot the n on guard and scale the wall, William Evans, one of the ringleaders, had become pos- sessed of a revolver and two cartridges. ‘lwo minutes after the outbreak began Evans, stand- ing by the open window, aimed his revolver at Howard and fired, He missed, Again he fired and again he missed. The men, who had clustered just inside the door, ouly waiting for Howard to fall before making a rush for the prison wall, retreated with howls and curses, Howard stood on the wall like a statue, covering | the workshop door with his ritie, ready to} shoot down the first maw who crossed the threshold, but not a man ventured forth. Meanwhile aid had been summoned from sta- tion 15, near by, and within five minutes the patrol wagon from the station with twenty-five men, under command of Lieut. Brown, dashed up to the entrance of the prison. Police aid was also summoned from the city proper, and patrul wagons from the Boston stations loaded with policemen hurried over to Charlestown with the greatest possible speed. More than 100 men we on the ground as soon as possible. Lieut. Brown ordered his men to draw their revolvers, and they dashed up the steps leading from the prison to the iner door of the workshop. As the lieutenant crossed the threshold a hammer was thrown at his head. It missed him and struck the officer behind him in the hip, disabling him. ‘The sight of the twenty drawn revolvers cowed the rioters, and no further demonstrations were attempted, They threw down the shoe knives and hammers and submitted, one by one. ‘They were searched by the officers and then conducted to their cells and locked in. It was 30 before this was completed and comparative quiet reigned. The Boston police superintend- ent has detailed 100 ofticers to report at the prison at7 o'clock this morning for fear of turther trouble. soe —_____ FRENCH JUSTICE. A Child Sent to Prison for Eleven Years for Stealing a Cookie. Sener | Paris Letter to New Orleans Picayune, Three stern men are seated behind a sort of counter up on a platform, all wearing the robes of French magistrates. Back of them on the wall, ina large gilt frame, bangs an oil paint- ing of Him who said: ‘Suffer little children to come unto to me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” There are men in black gowns in the room, these are lawyers, and many idle spectators are also present. Now the magi trate in the middle says: “Bring in the pri oner!” and two tall gendarmes push a small boy into the place. The little fellow is not yet ten years of ago; he is frail and timid and rolls his cap about his tiny fingers. Undoubtedly he is guilty, though, for at the very first ques- tion of the court he bursts into tears and says: “Oui, m’sieu,” which confession is quite con- vineing to everybody. Certainly he has committed the crime for which he is being iried by three solemn gentlemen—but listen to the indictment. Along with some other children of his own age he was passing through the streets of Bourges, and saw at the door of a pastry cook's shop a cake which tempted him.” He had no money, the cookie was within reach, he took it and ran away. ‘Then he commenced to eat; but the pastry cook went in pursuit, arrested him and placed him in the keeping of two policemen. Now he is in the police court and hence he will be sent to prison, for the case is dead against him and the French justice will see about bo: stealing plum cakes, Stay. There is yet hope, for the prisoner's father is present im court, and he pleads and implores, He offers to pay for the cake ten times over, promises in future to look after the boy better end says that it way a childish act which could be forgiven, “Jean, Jean,” he cri ou'll never do it again, will you, my boy,Jean?” and in the cold, svicmn hall the father and the son ean be heard sobbing. Now the judges consult, though that is hardly necessary, for it is clear to the com- monest mind that the lad pilfered the eake, and as it was worth five cents therefore he 13 a criminal, So they give their verdict, and it is that the child must be locked up in the hoase of correction until his majority. That meant | nearly a dozen years’ imprisonment, and only | tor a cookie. Men commit burglaries and attack | persons With firearms, garroters rob passers-by of a night, trusted cashiers steal millions and scoundrels are murderers, but these never get so many years of imprisonment, Still this boy of ten was guilty, so they took him back to his cell—and an hour later Le was dead, for he had ee Mrs. Harrison’s Musicale.

The executive committee of the eighteenth national conference of Charities and Corree- tons met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday morning. There were present: Oscar C.

The date of the next confereaec, when is 4 be held at Indianapolis, was fixed for May | timel; 22-29, 1891, Should be Dug. The body of Wm. Kemmler, the murderer, was not buried in the prison cemetery until last night. Everybody supposed that what the doctors left of the body would be buriedshortly after the autopsy, or as soon as night fell at the latest, but the burial did not take place until shortly after 12 o'clock last night. The cause of the delay was said to be a doubt in the mind of Warden Durston as to what the word “at- tached” in the law regulating the disposition of the body meant. It orders that the body, if unclaimed by relatives, shall be buried in the cemetery attached to the prison. The ceme- tery is about a mile away from the prison it- self and is a part of Fort Lee Cemetery, which is an aristocratic God's acre. As it was not di- rectly connected with the prison the warden believed he could not bury the body there. He had about made up his mind to bury it un- der one of the flagstones in the prison yard, when it occurred to him that the law distinctly said cemetery, and so the warden concluded to have legal advice on the subject. This settled the question, and the grave- digger at the cemetery was ordered to dig grave and be on hand to bury the body at 10 o'clock last night. But the expross wagon which rattled the murderer's bones over the stones did not reach the graveyard for more than two hours later. The grave is within a short distance of one of the main streets. The body was liberatly sprinkled with quicklime and the earth was thrown upon it by the light of a lantern, ‘fhe only mourners were the | Selb diggers, and they mourned because they ‘ad to work so late, OPINION OF A NOTED ELECTRICIAN. Mr. Preece, chief electrician of the London Post office, in an interview, recalled his de- nouncing electricity as a means of execution before the British Association in 1889, his ex- perience proving the difiiculty agd uncertainty of killing even a rabbit with the most powerful induction coil ever made. Asked whether the most powerful Leyden battery would be effective to kili, he said he did not think it would. The American plan was as good as any that could be devised, the alternating current system insur- ing «large quantity of electricity with great intensity. The great difficulty lay in the ab- sence of accurate knowledge as to what amount of electrieity would be certain to produce death without torture. From a scientific point of view the Kemmler execution was a failure, Beyond doub‘ suffered inte: torture, ee GREAT STRIKE IN WALES. Train Men and Colliery Men Idle and the Mail Carried in Carts. A conflict between capital and labor in Soutb Wales has begun in real earnest, Every train hand and signal man on the Taff Barry Bute and Rhymney lines has quit work. There are largo collieries at Rhoudda which employ a force of about thirty thousand workmen, and these are all idle. All traffic has been stopped on the Khymney Barry, Henarth and Taff rail- way, where, owing to the prevalence of the strike, the greatest possible confusion prevails, ‘The mails are being dispatched along the high roads in carts, which go under the protection of a special and strong guard. Communications are now passing between representatives of the men and Cardinal Manuing, Lord Dunraven, Lord Aberdare and Lord Brassey, who have undertaken to act as arbitrators in the matter. Altogether 170,000 men are idle, and trade in all the markets in Wale A Vitriol Thrower Makes a Mark of a Woman in Waterbury. About 3 o'clock yesterday morning Miss Rosa Vigeant of Waterbury, Coun., was awakened by a terrible burning sensation on her face and body. She called for help, and it was found that she had been sprinkled with vitriol or some other acid, It isevident that some one must have entered the girl’s room while she was asleep, thrown the contents of a bottle of vitriol over her and then hastily escaped, as she saw no one when she was awakened. Miss Vigeant isa very pretty girl of twenty-two years, and is of French-Cana- dian parents, The house where she lives is occupied by six families. The window of the girl’s room was open last night and it looks ont on an addition. It is supposed that the vitriol thrower climbed on to the roof and thus got access to the room, ‘The police believe that the acid was thrown by some one in the house who was acquainted with its arrangements, The girl's wounds not dangerous, but are very painful, and face and body will be disfigured for life. see CINDERELLA AFRESH. A St. Paul Girl’s Misadventure After a Party. An interesting sight was witnossed early yes- terday morning by two nightworkers while wending their weary homeward way up Wa- bash street, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press. A young couple who had evidently put in the night at some dancing hall had stopped on the opposite side of the street and the lady was en- deavoring to change her dancing slippers for her walking shoes. Her pedal extremities were of course somewhat swollen by the night's dancing and her efforts te make the change were futile. Her companion then came to the rescue, but their combined efforts were una- vailing. Finally the attempt was given up gnd she concluded to replace her slippers; but, lo! when she attempted to do sv she found that her feet had swoilen to such an extent that it was impossible to wear them. Here was @ dilemma sure enough. A hasty consultation was held and her escort took off his shoe. and handed them to his fair companion. They were just the fit and soon the couple continued their homeward jouruey, the gentleman in his stocking feet. Mrs. Cleveland Postmistress. At the “Marigold fair” in Marion, Mass., re- cently, Mra, Grover Cleveland acted as post- mistress, the office being located on the front veranda of Judge Austin’s handsome resi- dence, and the place was decorated with Amer- ican flags, There was a steady stream of callers at the office window, and each the former first lady in the land greeted with a pleasing smile. As each caller presented his or her name and deposited sufiicient currency to pay the postage a letter was handed out. ‘The office Was inevery sense a typical one. Outside were lists of advertised letters and letter s held for postage. Some of the latter were sadly in debt to the fair postmistress, and when the owners put in an appearance at the delivery window they were obliged to settle in full before they received their letters. Mrs. Cleveland had two very efficient assistants, who handled the enormous mail as easily us if they had been always in the employ of Uncle Sam. — soe ais Cool Colorado Robbers, A Chuchara, Col, special says: Two robbers came in hero last night and, after locking around for anhour, held up Henry Foster, a railroad man, at the point of a revolver and robbed him of his watch. They then fired at | him, but missed. They then went to where M. Siroud, another railroad employe, was working at his engine, and secured his watch and $20. ‘They then shot him through the stomach and escaped to the woods, Sirond died balf an hour later. Officers are in pursuit, and if the men are arrested they will be lynched, Hailstones as Large as Eggs, Terrific hail storms have been raging since Sunday last throughout the northern districts of Germany. Stones as large as eggs have fallen in various places and unprecedented damage has been the result. In Cassel three- quarters of the crops have been entirely de- stroyed, while in the village districts of Mar- burg, Kirchain, Hamburg, Leiguhain, Rotten- berg and Neustadt the hail smashed windows, unroofed houses and utterly demolished nu- merous wine farms, There was little insur- ance upon the buildings in these afilicted dis- tricts, and so the losses, which are heavy, fall entirely upon the peasants, —— A Competitor for Western Beef.

Jas. E. Wood of Pittsburg, who she alleges is her husband, for desertion and maintenance. The plaintiff is about thirty years of age and the defendant is some ten years younger. Mr. Wood is the son of the late James Wood, who was 8 wealthy iron manufacturer of Pitte- burg, and who married Miss Emily Worthing- ton, daughter of the late Dr, Wilmer Worth- ington of this borough. Mrs. Wood is also deceased. When the defendant attains his ms- jority he will come into possession of $40,000. In addition to this he has an interest in his Grandmother Wood's estate, which will e him over 200,000 more when it is distribu!

This is denied by Mr. Wood, who recently published a card in one of the local newspapers to the fol- lowing effect: “Noticr—It having come to my knowledge that Ivy A., daughter of Rev. C. W. Quick, is holding out to the world and signing her name as Iva A. Wood, I hereby desire to give notice that she is not my wife and no marriage cere- mony was over performed between us. “James Emite Woop.” The defendant charges that Miss Quick exer- cised an influence over his brother and himself which was tyrannical and denies that be ied or promised to marry her. On the oc- casion of the alleged marriage at Berwyn Mr. Wood says that Miss Quick's brother-in-law made a copy of his own marriage certificate, substituting the name of Miss Quick where the maiden name of his wife occurred and Mr. Wood's where his own appeared, and the brother-in-law and Miss Quick foreed him to sign it. Mr. Wood says that at no time has he regarded this as a marriage and that he has not in any way treated Miss Quick as his wife since the mentee ot the alleged wedding certificate. In December last Mr. Wood and his brother went to Pittsburg to visit his relatives and he is still in the smoky city. The case will be brought before the court next month. ————— ~ ee ________ A GOLD FEVER IN THE SOUTH. Great Excitement Among the Residents of North Carolina. A gold fever is spreading like the cholera all over eastern North Carolina, says a Windsor, N. C., special to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Every- body is excited and wild rumors of fabulous finds are circulated every hour. The fever originated in this way: About a week ago Abram Philps, while hunting around his place, which lies on the banks of Chishey branch, about four miles from Windsor, found a piece | of stone which was filled with tiny specks which shone like gold. He brought it to town | to Mr. C. E. Harden, a jeweler and silversmith, who, after a thorough examination, pronounced it to be gold. Mr Philpsthen went back to his home and commenced to dig into the hills along the branch, and found a large quantity of the same kind of gold-bear: rock, which he has shipped to some dealers in gold in Phil- adelphia. Mr. Philps quietly uursed his secret; but meanwhile his two little granddanghters, who live with him, went wading in the run of the branch one day. They picked up some pebbles to play with, and among them were several small-sized ‘nuggets of virgin gold. When their grandfather found this out he cautioned the little girls to say nothing about it, but it leaked out in some manner. The old gentle- man became imprudent. As soon as he had disposed of some of his gold he was seized witha fitof extravagance. He purchased everything that he saw, and with them a quantity of whisky, which he partook of too freely, and informed people that he had suddenly become rich and how he obtained his riches. Now the whole country around Chishey is filled with hopeful people digging for gold. The report frora a gold refiner in Philadel- hia, to whom he had forwarded samples, has Feat reached Windsor, and says that the samples sent him will avorage at least 5 per cent of gold. There have been small quantities of gold found in the county before, but none of any amount. Mr. Philps has always been a very poor man, and has worked hard all of his life, and now, in his old age, he can rest in ease and affluence. The country around Chishey is a beautiful country—high hills and ice-col ‘eams, which have their origin from springs which’ break forth from every hill Since this gold was found all lands within five miles of Windsor have increased to a fabu- lous value, and half-acre lots are being sold at prices a thousend-acre farm could not com- mand four ‘coo______ Acquitted of a Charge of Murder. A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from Lynchburg, Va, eays: Smith, Gowen and Bond, the three men accused of the murder of Treasurer Caddall of Pulaski county, were ac- quitted Wednesday, and the verdict was fully in accord with public opinion in the county, which had long since abandoned the idea that they were connected with the daring crime. Smith only was tried, but as the evidence was the same in Gowen’s case the jury acquitted both, A nolle prosequi was entered for Bond. The evidence of one trustworthy witness, who met Smith and Gowen out hunting on the afternoon of the murder, placed them more than a mile from the scene at the time the crime was committed. Another strong point in their favor was that the rifle carried by Smith, and which he had borrowed that day, carried a round bullet, while the ball found in Mr. Cad- dall’s head was conical in shape. The verdict leaves the revolting affair shrouded in mystery. "eee. ——— Booth Opposes Smoking. Gen. Booth of the Salvation Ar my, not con- tent with forbidding his officers below the rank of captain to marry, has just issued the most stringent edict against smoking, in which he denounces the habit as wasteful, dirty and in- jurious and entirely inexcusable. Without absolutely forbidding or ing the use of tobacco, influenced no doubt by the knowledge that such an action would drive away a large number of his followers, the general orders that henceforth no member of the army who smokes shall receive any proino- tion and that s , bandsmen, sergoant- majors, secretaries and treasurers must aban- don the practice or cease to hold oulice in the corps. see An Ante-Nuptial Agreement. By the will of Clayton French of Philadel- phia, who left an estate of $2,000,000, his widow was giveu an annuity of $5,000 and permission to reside in one of his houses for one year, It was thought that she would demand her dower rights, but it appears from an ante-nuptial agreement that each had agreed to make no claim against the estate of the other (both had large fortunes and the annuity is really an extra to which Mrs, French could lay no claim. She was the sistor of Mr, French's decease: wife, and the bulk of his estate goes to the children by his first wife. There was no issue by the second merriage, though Mrs, French, who was a widow, bas several children by her first husband. ______se-_—_____ A Schooner Struck by a Whirlwind. The schooner John 8.
