That is, pro- vided there is no delay today im recovoring the money deposited by Ryan in the eafe deposit company at Pittsburg on his way west. As stated in Tae ran, no delay is anticipated at Pitteburg today in re- covering the money, as young Ryan has acknowledged his wrongdoing and ex- Pressed his willingness to assist the company in getting the money back. Should the young man cl his mind, however, the officials the company here state that the company ‘Would at once file an indemnity bond for the tection of the safe deposit company, when money would be turned over toit. In either event, therefore, the company the money spent by Ryan, amounting, it is ought, to but a few hundred dollars. On arrival here Ryan will at once be turned over to United States Marshall who will, unless the young man gives bail, place him in jail. ‘The amount of bail will be jxed by the Criminal Court. It was thought by many persons that in view of Ryan's Submission and bis, wills e863 fo amit the company in recovering the mon‘ ‘compan: ‘would decline to prosecute him. The oftciale of the company etate that they could not do this even if they were so disposed, as the case is now in the hands of the district attorney. They also state that a failure to prosecute on the of the company would have an_ injurious influ- ence upon their employes, and that the young man wil therefore be prosceuted to the fullest extent of the law. eeepc A LIST OF THE WOUNDED. Fourth of July Casualties—Boys Burned With Powder. Amy Garney, a girl of twelve years, living at 728 Brower's court, was seriously injured lagt evening by the explosion of an improvised cannon made of a brass beer vent. One of the fragments strack her on the head and another in the face, the first causing a concussion of the brain, and it is thought also fmeturing the skull. She was taken to her home and attended by Dr. Hughes.

SENATOR VEST PRESENTS THE REPORT TODAT— BAD VENTILATION AND BAD SEWERAGE FACILI- ‘TIES—WHAT CHANGES ARE BECOMMEXDED AND WHAT IT WILL COST TO MAKE THEM. | On March 28 last the Senate adopted a reso lution authorizing and directing the committee on public buildings and grounds to select and employ two expert architects for the purpose of having them make « thor- ough examination of the sanitary condi- tion of the Capitol and especially to examine the structure recently built on the terrace and the tunnels through which air is pumped into the two wings of the building and to make sug- gestions upon the condition of the Capitol. Col. George E. Waring of Newport, R.L, and Dr. A. ©. Abbott of the University of Pennsylvania were engaged to make the exami- nation, the former fora fixed compensation of €2,500 and the latter for the sum of $25 per day. The entire cost of the work, which the committee on public bulidings end sunds believes to have, been inorough, is named wes Col. John 8. 3 ateistant eur general, who, ‘an officer v= jued, uaksan ban epemn. TRE REPORT SUBMITTED. ‘The report, which was presented to the Sen- ate today by Senator Vest, shows the result of aerial analysis made in different parte of the Senate chamber, both’ when the Senate was empty and in session, I air ‘pumped into the onably pure, but that the impurity tncroases after it comes into the chamber, and that in certain parte of the room this itapurity is for some reason ly increased, the greatest amount being found in the northoast corner and in the galleries. The conclusion reached by the experts is that no radical change in the structure of the chamber should be made, but that the open- | ings for admitting air from the fans, Doth to the «floor and , should enla: that these increased be openings thould be made around the sides of the room by cutting away the useless iron fil- agree work which obstructs tho overhang- ing brackets on the sides of the walls. In the northeast corner of the chamber, where the largest impurity of air is found, the openings rhould be restored which were-re- moved on account of draught. By using valves this can be done withont discomfort to Sena- tors occupying seats in that vicinity. To sup- ply the galleries with a greater quantity of fresh air two new v ducts should be constructed in the walls to supply the north aide and the risers of the seats should filled with gratings. The experts also recommend the construction of a wooden screen with sliding doors in the main alr duct after it leaves the coils so that a special supply of cooler air can be sent to the fallery. | They also recommend that the open, ing of the chamber side of the heaters should bo onlarged by outting the tiers 4o as to give as much additional area to the opening as possi- ble. Tho estimated cost of changes in the Senate chamber is $3,000. SENATE COMMITTEE ROOMS, The ventilation of the Senate committee rooms was found to be very defective and un- satisfactory, but this comes largely from tho failure to uso the means provided for ventilation, There is no systematic or skilled supervision of the aeration or yenti- lation of the committee rooms. ‘Thoy are filled with the odors of stale tobacco smoke, which can only be expelled by thorough ventilation and by opening the windows cach day, but there is no systematic attention to this simple remedy. The largest amount of im- pure air was found in the room of the District of Columbia committee and the secretaries’ office. ‘The temperature of the committee room is exceedingly irregular, and the coils, instead of being arranged separately for each room, are constructed for heat-| ing two or more rooms by the same| coil, so that the tomperature of one room cannot be changed without changing that of others. To remedy existing defects the brick iers in which the coils are incased should be ken down and a separate coil given to cach room, the entire alteration costing £5,000. The analysis made by Dr. Abbott did not show as much impurity in the air of the ter- race rooms aa in those of the main building. The ventilation is satisfactory, although it will be at least a year before’ the masonry in the terrace structure will be thoroughly | dried. It is recommended by the experts that | the inlets for fresh air to the terrace rooms should be placed eight or ten fect above the floor, and that the valves be removed from the foul air registers, The estimated cost of these changes 18 300. The experts earnestly recommend that the ventilation of the Senate. chamber, cloak room and galleries should be under the exclu- sive supervision and control of the, engineer, so-that the sporadic habit now *obtainin; of having a grating clored by | placing carpeting over it at the instance of some official should be stopped. In this the com- mittee fully concur, for it is evident that regular and systematic ventilation can only be obtained by placing the matter under the conirol of an intelligent officer who will be re- sponsible for the result, THE QUESTION OF SEWERAGE, On the question of sewerage the report says: “The original interior drainage system of each building having been inaugurated ninety and forty years ago, when the buildings were | Pipes being builtin | the walls beyond examination, it is impos- sible to know their condition. It can be safely inferred, however, from the inferior plumbing | which then obiained and the fact that the pives were made of iron that they are greatly paired by rust if not absolutely de- stroyed. Tho experts report that “the drain- age of the whole building is without plan or | system and it is to be regarded as 8 patchwork | makeshift devices moro or less good, according to the quality of the best plumbing work done at the time of construction. The only pipes which reach the outer air are the radiator leaders. All waste pipes within the building terminate at their upper fixtures and all are trapped before entering the sewer, 80 that they are entirely unventilated. The experts declare that the defect incident | to such a.xvatom of tewerage would be fatal in | an ordinary building. ‘The bad effeet is much modified in the case of the Capitol because of the constant exhaust produced by the fire flues and because of the very perfect aystem of ar- tificial ventilation to which the building is subjected by the forcing and exhausting fans. | ‘These influences do not entirely remove the | danger and tho general conclusion “must be | reached that the whole eystem of drainage is not | atall in accord with tho status of modern sani- tary knowledge. ‘The following is the concluding sentence of that part of the report which relates to drainage: “We therefore pronounee tife whole { lates to the removal of foul wastes, to be in principle, imperfect in detail and wit the eafeguards which universal modern practice accept as of the first necessity.” CHANGES RECOMMENDED. ‘The experts recommend that the brick sewers be improved and relegated to the double serv- ice of carrying off rainwater from the roofs, courts and terraces and the water from the elevator tanks ond melting ice or snow, and that all foul drainage be with- held from them; that within each sewer and at- tached to it# walls there be constructed a waste wrong ithout the traps of the sewers, and that on the Houve tide of these traps inlet pipes of eight inches or more in diameter be carried to or above the sur- face of the grounds to furnish fresh air for the Yentilation of tho entire draincge uystem, and 4 SPECIMEN OF THE INADEQUATE SEWERAGE.

BETTER ON THE HOUSE SIDE. Sewers on the House side of the Capitol are in better condition than thore on the Senate wing, but the experts recommend repairs where the branch sewers enter the main sewer. In ‘the west cloak room = House ex report ui to very effective, there bei one used for two or three Sstare, fering 8 considerab length of slimy waste pipe to exhale its ate cloak is pipe is. larger furface. In the closet adjoining the room the military affairs of the House the urinal and water closet are defectir tmell. In the room adjoining the comynittee room of foreign affairs the fit are auch as would not be regarded as admiseab) even in well-ventilated apartment. ‘The same defect as to want of ventilation as to waste pipes is found on the House side as on the Senate wing, and the defects are specially inted out’ by | tho experts.” The fraps and pipe” connections are. better than thore on "the “Senate side, but the experts suggest that louse restaurant hav- ing beck sone Uae tata bath vooe aaa oe fixtures having been cut off except the basin it would be well to make sure that’ they are all roperly closed, which could only be done by Tnkdng up the floor. ‘The experts make no especial criticiam on the sewerage of the central or old Capitol building, "except an contained tn neral remarks on the whole sewerage Gritem of the Capitol.

The effect of this condition is doubtless miti- fated by ventilation through the rain leader, mut the whole arrangement so far as outlet is concerned i as bad as well can be. The sewerage and plumbing of the rooms and terrace both in the House and wing are thoroughly discussed by th experts in their — reports, but it is enough to say that while improve- ments are su; ited the recent date at which the terraco work was done has secured the mod- ern and improved conditions which were not possible when the main buildings were con- structed. It is earnestly recommended by the experts that the kitchen of the Senate restaurant be en- larged and remodeled. As now arrai it is contracted, dark, badly ventilated and neces- sarily productive of sanitary conditions which are not conducive to health. The estimated cost of the improvement and of necessary fix- tures is @14,570. =a — ee AN ELOPEMENT SPOILED. An Irate Parent Pursues a Couple From Frederick County to This City. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Faepenick, Mp., July 4, 1892. Mr. Funk, a resident of Park Mills, this county, returned home from Washington yes- terday with his fifteen-year-old stepdaughter, Ellen Boyer, who eloped with a young man the morning before. A young man had been paying his respects to the girl, and the stepfather, who objected to the match, was not wholly ignorant | ha: of what was going on. Sunday night the step- father did not retire until after midnight. All that time, though, the stepdaughter was not asleep. She had planned to elope that night with the young man of her choice and ehe succeeded, although she was captured before she even had a chance to get a license. ‘The only reason why the did not mccced waa that today was legal holiday and no license could be procured at t court house.
