C., June 23, 180L ‘The erection of a large public hall in Wash- fngton has for many years been urged by indi- ‘Vidual citizens, and advocated by the news- as indispensable to the growth and iy. It bas been found, how- ever, that the ground could not be secured in & suitable location and a proper building erected for less than $300,000, and that it would be im- possible to offer the inducement of any div- fdend om s papers, prosperity of the In or- 2 an amount of money. dimary commercial cities energetic business men and public spirited wealthy citizens might readily subsrile sacha sum for such a pur- pose, knowing that the indirect profits from the investment would amply repay them. In Washington, however, the conditions of trade and society are different from those of other cities and de not seetn to have Justified the sub- ‘sription of such » lane amount of money for such a purpose, and there seems no possibility Of ever obtaining the public hall, recognized as A public necessity, except in the manner now proposal by us. The Northern Liberty Market Association offers for wale at par @50,000¢ 7 per cent pre- served stock, the proceeds to be applied to cone structing an enormous hall over their present market. ‘The property of the Northern Liberty Mar- ket Association consists of 58,640 feet of ground fronting oo K. Sth and L streets, worth ats moderate estimate €2 a foot, and improved byt eat market building in this country, Which cost 152,000 to erect. This property dhas recently pased into the hands of « new cor- poration ia which it is represented by only 8200, 000 of ca] stock, which, as will be seen from ebove statement, is less than the actual value ofthe property. The remaining $50,000 of the total capital stock of the com- pany it has been decided to issue as the pre- ferred 7 per cent stock now offered for sale. The provent uet revenues of the market amount toover $4,000a year, which in iteelf Gesures 7 per cent annual dividend cn the 850,- 00 of preferred stock issued. It would make no difference to the holders of the preferred stock if the hall never yielded one penny of revenue, oF ff the present revenues of the market never increased. Ae amatter of fact, however, the revenues of the market cer- tainly can never be less thau they have been ‘Within the past few years of neglect and decay from which they have su‘fered and are already rapidly increasing unler the present manage ment and improvements, and as a matter of fact it may reasonably be accepted that the hall itself will yield a large revenue. The 7 percent dividend on this preferred stock may there- fore besaid to be abslutely assured and as Dearly as possible, guaranterd. ‘The Market Company possesses the ground, the roof and the building.and nothing is needed te make one of the largest and finest halls in ‘the country but the floor and fire-proof stair- ways, The market building has exceptionally thick and heavily buttressed wails, and the roof ts noted as bein oue of the finest specimens of fron trussarches iu the country.

A special to the New York Herald from Washington says that Henry W. Blair has again been turned down by the Chinese government. The reply of the Chinese to the request of the President that Mr. Blair be received by the Chinese gov- ernment reached Washington a few days ago. It is stated that it contained a polite but none the less firm refusal to accept Mr. Blair as our diplomatic representative. Mr. Blair took the oath of office March 4 and since that time has been drawing the salery attached to the mis- sion of $12,000 per annum. What action the administration will take next is problematical. NOT DRAWING SALARY. Mr. Wharton, acting secretary of state, said to a Star reporter this morning that he would refer not to talk about the subject of Mr. Blair's appointment, but he would like it known that Mr. has drawn but one month’s sal- ary, which the law allows. He is therefore not drawing pay now. HAYTI A HOT PLACE, State with Assistant Secretary Wharton, who is now acting secretary of state.

The Keystone Bank scandal and the revolt aguinst the Quay methods in politics and the general suspicion of fraud and corruption Which attaches to the Quay management of Pennsylvania politics has encouraged the dem- ocrats in the belief that they may win another victory in that state this fall. Ex-Representative Maish, who has been in Washington for several days, told » Star re- porter today that on the i0th of July there would be a meeting of the leading democrats in the state at Philadelphia to discuss the situ- ation and consider the general plan of cam- align for this fall «We believe,” he said, “that under the cir- cumstances we have a good chance of electin, the state treasurer and auditor general an probably the city treasurer of Philadelphia to fill the place made vacant by Bardsley's going to the semen ge The only chance the repul licans Bardaley ve of electing a successor to lies in their nominating some one who is fectly clean, and in no way connected or mixed up with the old ring. If they nominate Etting, as they will if they are wise, he wi make about the strongest candidate they could run, because of his activity in trying’ to expose the fraud and dishonesty in the city management. The dem- ocrats will probably nominate Wright, who lias been appointed by Gov. Pattison, and I believe we can elect him. ‘There is a wide-spread dis- content among the best class of republicans against the existing ring methods and we stand a good chance of success thisfall. The conference to beheld on the 10th will be an important one and is apt to result greatly to the advantage of the democratic party.” When asked about the sentiment among the Pennsylvania democrats with relation to the presidential nomination, Mr. Maish sai “Of course if Mr. Pattison should seek the nomination and should demand the Pen vania delegation at the national convention he would getit and they would support him loy- ally, but Cleveland erat in Pennsylvania. “My own. opin: that he is the strongest and in ways the safest man we can nominate. You saw the other day the result of the canvass of the Western Editorial Association? ‘That gives a good idea of the sentiment of dem- ccrats of the state—they are for Cleveland ahead of everybody. His nomination will un- doubtedly be for the best interests of the party. It will save the party from consider- able embarrassment in the campaign, will per- | Make the tariff? the main iseue and, I belicve, Will insure success. I have no doubt about his getting the nomination.” With relation to the speakership contest he said that it would be found to be the sentiment of the north and east that the speakership of the next House should be given to the south— or rather that the bestman for the place should get it without regard to his place of resi- dence. There could be no sectionalis in the contest, he said; the strongest and best candidates were from’ the south, and one of them—either Mills, McMillan or Crisp—would be chosen. ‘The democrats could not make a sectional issue themselves and then complain of the other party's doing so. THE ASSISTANT ASSESSOKS, ‘They Must Act as a Board and Have No Power Separately. ‘The assistant assessors recently submitted to the attorney for the District a copy of the taw under which they were appointed with a re- quest that he furnish them an opinion as to the scope of their powers. Assistant Attorney 8. T. Thomas had the matter in charge and today rendered the fol- lowing opinion: I have examined carefully the questior. sub- mitted by you to the attorney for the District relative to the status, power and duties of the assistant assessors recently appointed under the act of Congress approved March 3, 1891, and have the honor to advise you that in my opinion the act of March 3, 1891, is to be read with the act of March '3, 1683. Section 3 of the latter act (22 Stat., 568-0,) provided for twelve assessors and that the Dis- trict of Columbia should be divided into twelve subdistricta, ‘The act of 1891 changes the act of 1888 by dropping the subdistrict, feature and reducing the number of assessors to three, ‘on whom is conferred the power and author to do the things required of twelve assessors under the act of 1883. Under the old system of twelve subdistricts each of the twelve assessors was required, from actual view and from the best source of in- formation within his reach, to assess each sep- arate lot or parcel of real property within his district. MUST ACT AS A BOARD. The present law contemplates that all three of the assistant assessors as a board are to make the assessment. They are to exercise a joint the judgment and advice of each of the mem- bers. ‘As in the case of boards composed of two or more persons the assistant assessors may or- ganize and elect a presiding officer and a sec- retary if they choose. They should act only at regular board meetings, at which all the mem- bers should have opportunity to attend, aud they should be together when engaged in view- ing property for purposes of assessment. ‘The duties and powers of the assistant assessors as a board—for they cannotact separately—are the same generally as were imposed on the twelve assessors under the act ofMarch 3, 1883. The twelfth section of that act, providing that each of the twelve assessors “Shali return, &c., in his district, &¢.,” should now be read: “That the assistant assessors shall * * * make return, &c., the ownership, &c., of all real property subject to be listed for taxation.” But as this is apparent from reading the two acts it is not necessary for me to say more. ‘THE RELATION OF THE ASSESSOR. The act of March 3, 1889, says that the assist- ant assessors shall ‘‘under the direction of the assessor of the District of Columbia,” make the assessment provided for * * © and perform such other duties anmay be assigned to m not inconsistent with existinglaw by the assessor in the assessment of real and personal Property.” The phrase “ander the direction Of the assessor” not mean that the as- sessor of the District is to control or manage the assistant assessors ir the exercise of the judgmentand discretion reposed in them by the law; His relation to the sasstant assess. ors under ruage visory—that to say, he shot juaint them’ with the rules and practice under the act of 1883 in regard to the details of ‘assessmen' but he has no voice in the valuation of property for ,assessment by the assistant asses- sors until the point is reached where the board sectibu 9 of tho act of 100930 organised, of section 9 of act }) 18 ory which ex officio he becomes a member. asseus- ment of real and personal .” used in pense gen io thatafter the assistant assessors have completed review, the asemor of the District being one, will constitute a quorum for business. en caiel Sag Sse! semeet ma ” found in the & AWAITING ONE BELL. The Signal That Will Bring Death to Four Murderers, MAKING READY FOR THE EXECUTION. The Warden Refuses to Admit Newspaper Representatives. UNACCOUNTABLE DELAYS. AWAITING THE EXECUTION. Scones at the State Prison at Sing Sing Prior to the Electrocution. Sino Srxo, July 6.—Although it was gen- erally understood thatno one would be allowed inside the prison hundreds of persons visited Prison Hill yesterday and gazed at the blank walls of the building as if they would read what was transpiring inside. Even after mid- night people visited the spot, but were ordered off by the armed guards, who have been paced on ail the approaches to the prison. No 01 Was allowed to pass this guard. During the night the village was agitated as tothe question whether the four condemned men would suffer the penalty of their crime dur- ing the hours between midnight and dawn. The most conflicting and absurd reports were spread about. ‘Standing on the bill overlook- ing the prison it was seen that there was much activity in the prison. The building itself was illuminated and the frequent rumble of wheels announced the arrival of visitors. The cabs continued to arrive until long after midnight and the opinion was that their occupants were the jury and the doctors who were to be wit- did everything that they could to make the time pass pleasantly. A gen- erous supply of coffee which had been made for the guard was put in general circulation. Noth ing Was seen of the warden or any of the wit- nesses nuring the night. At midnight the war- den’s son advised the watchers to go away and get four or five hours’ sleep, but they would not take his advice, and so he sat up to keep them ompany. Every one abou: the prison pro- fessed ignorance of the warden's whereabouts. It was a general belief that he was off some- where getting together his witnesses and the Tiver front was patrolled until a late hour for the possible landing of a special boat with the execution party on board. As the gray dawn crept up in the east the weary watchers gave up the idea of a special boat or special train, and most of them went away to catch afew hours’ sleep. The warden was expected on the 5:21 train from Albany. It istn express, which docs not stop at Sing Sing, but it was thought thatit might have received ‘special orders to stop for the wardgn. The train swept through the town, however, at its usual rate of speed. THE WARDEN ARRIVES. At twelve minutes before 8 o'clock the buck- board of the warden appeared coming down the road to the prison, the warden’s son driv- ing and the warden sitting beside. The warden looked as though he had not had much sleep in the last twenty-four hours. His face was and there were deep rings around his eyes. He greeted the little group of newspaper reporters cordially and passed on to his office ‘The firet thing he did was to issue an order to the guard to keep every one away from the office and the walk in front of it. a “T've got to keep you leaway now,” said to one of the cee nan Ag “T've treated youas cordially asIknow how and given you jeoy 2 facility posmble, but today I must have my house to myself. ‘Ihave a job head and d must have # chance to rest be quiet. If I have anything ofticial—a stay or anything like that—I will come out and give it to you.” ‘The warden declined to say where he was last night. He would not deny the statement that he had been at Albany, but he would not con- firm it. To the question whether there was any chance of the execution occurring today he would only reply: “You must use your own judgment about that.” DOUBT OF AN EXECUTION TODAY. Astatement was mad> from a semi-official source, however, that there would be noexecu- tion today—that it would occur in all likeli- hood at daybreak tomorrow. THE CONDEMNED MEX. The condemned men spent » quiet, restful night. When Head Keeper Connaughton visited their cells at 7 o'clock this morning all of them were still sleeping. The night watch suid that they had slept well all thr. the night. It was8 o'clock when the first of awakening came to them. By 8:30 they had dressed themselves, made their beds and tidied up their rooms. All of them seemed to be in as good spirits as on yesterday. Breakfast was served to them from: the hospital kitchen at 8:40. All of them ate well and seemed to enjoy the meal. ‘The first arrival of any interest was ex- Warden Brush, Mr. Brown's predecessor. He drove up to the prison entrance at 9:30 and carried «big yellow traveling bag into the warden’s office, where he had a warm greeting old subordinates. Twenty minutes later Warden Durston of Auburn, the man who executed Kemmler, was seen walking down the road and the newspaper Ts who were sitting on the grass across the road from the rison entrance went down in a body to greet He shook hands with all of them, but in response to questions however, that he expected to go on to New York tonight or to- morrow and to return to Auburn on Wednes- day. He said that the warden of Dannemors would not be here. There were three oo from the during the morning. two priests, Father Creeden and Fether Lynch, who had been in the condemned cells for nearly an hour, went away in a carriage at 9:30. Warden Brush took his yellow traveling bag and duster and went at 11:06. Before visit to the n and announced witnesses during the morning on their way to the prison be here this afternoon.

Above the rest and fastened to the back by «long strip ise figure “4.” which is intended to rest on the head of the occupant. It is through the wire im this that the current passes this there are a number of straps used to secure the prisoner in position after be has taken his seat in the chair. The chair faces the east and directly behind it is a low cabinet for the use of the man who turns on the current, who is thus out of sight of everybody. Its sides, however, do not reach the ceiling, so the opera tor can have plenty of ventilation. Directly back of this, against which the cab- inet stands, isa doot leading directly to the dynamo room. On th de of the cabinet isa sliding door, which on being opened reveals the switchboard by which the signals are given to the operator, who stends in the cabinet and turnson the fatal current. The first object which meets the eye isa card of printed ““di- rections,” which are framed, and read aa folk ows “Five bells, get ready; one bell, turn on eur- rent; two bells, turn on more current, three bells, less current; one bell, shut off current; six bells, all through.” TO AVOID THE AUBURN BLUNDERS. Underneath the directions ie Little electro bell button, which is pressed to give signal to the operator. Next to the placard is the test witch. This switch turns on the current into a dozen or more incandescent lights at the top of the switch board and also into the ammeter and voltmeter, which are in the side with the resistance box. All these are arranged to test the strength of the current before it is put in operation on the condemned man. There is another switch, by which the current can be directly connected with the wires leading to the chair. The man at the switch board, bo ever, cannot turn the current through the oc cupant of the chair, this being entirely the Province of the man who stands behind the and operates the switch located there, which is connected directly with the occupa of the char. Capt. Hilbert, the designer of the chair, is Proud of its completenoss and especially of the code of signals. The failure of these in the Kemmler case was one of the things that made the electrocution «uch a horrible affair. The captain, in «peaking of his device, asserts that it is able to kill twenty-five men an hour. He has made an improvement on the at~angement of the electrodes, which differs materially fro that of the Kemmler case. In the latter the current was passed directly through the body and heart. The inventor of the Sing Sing chair has a new plan for applying the electricity to the wrists or t®one wrist and an ankle. MONE DREAMY WAITING. Shortly after 1 o'clock the prison chaplain appeared again and entered the warden’s office, He was accompanied by a ministerial-looking personage, but the chaplain refused to answer any questions and would not give bis com- jon's name. The priests from the village ve not = come up and up to 1:30 no more Witnesses have arrived. Deputy Warden Connaughton apy at the door directly after the dunner hour, Dut the guards refused to allow the reporters to ap- Proach, and he would not come out to talk. A diagram was sent in and he was asked if the cells bad been properly located. He admitted that there had been some changes. ARRANGEMENT OF CELIA CHANGRD. The arrangement of the cells of the prisoners who are to be executed was changed this morn- ing, it is said. There are four of these cells on each side of the passage leading into the execution chamber. In the first chamber on the left of the passage was Wood; next to him a vacant cell and in the third cell on that wide Slocum. In the first cell on the right was the Jap and next to him Smiler. The other two murderers were in the extreme cella on each side. it, it is suid, has pi ¢ four mur- dirers whore bout to, be executed in the four cells on the left of the passage in the fol- lowing order: Jugigo, Smiler, Slocum and Wood. This is the order in which, it is very little doubt, they will be executed at short in- tervals apart. There seems very Little doubt ‘that all four will go in one day. THE DEAD LINE. That Warden Brown is determined to obey the law, which says that nothing but a simple notice thatan execution bas taken place sball be published, can be seen from the precautions which he has taken to keep all outsiders at a distance. One of these was the establishment of a guard above the prison. That guard formed « dead line, not in name only, but in reality. It would have been certain death to have crossed the line after the guard had called upon one to halt. The line was established about the prison and jast what sort of men were on picket duty was learned by a reporter who attempted to cross the line. Guard Ingersoll was om duty at the trestle work just south of the The reporter and telegraph Fineman were about to. stop upon the trestle when they were sharply commanded to balt.
