Stout receive the sum of 2500 on contract for capitol building, to pay whatever amount might be duo laborers on the samo. Mr. stout recommended that the state pay John Connelly, fireman at _the capitol, the sum of $00. and Kobert EKmmerson, engiucer, the sum of §33.50.

The charge of grand larceny preforred against Josie Steinriede by J. H. Wheeler was withdrawn yesterday, as the complaiu- ant felt assured that the wrong person had been arrested. Yet the prisoner had spent one night i jail. Her story is a sad one. Her maiden name was Simmonds and she was born in Yazoo county, where her father owned a large plautation before the war. Sympathising with his native state, he entered the confed- erate sorvice and was killed in action. The news of his death broke her mother's heart, and she too passed away, leaving two daughters to the care of their grandmother, and with them_ $500,000 that hud been saved from thoe wreck of the estate. Among her relatives were General L. P. Walker and Jeff Davis, the latter being her granduncle, and Captain P. Simmonds, of Lexington, Ky. Fourteon years ago sho wus still a minor, and under the care of her grandmother, when, ays, J. J. Steinriedd, an unsophisticatod man doctor, obtained employment with tter, and in some way the old lady be- came infatuated with un. The droam of her life was to sce him united in marriage to her granddaughter, and the latter at_lnst gave a reluctant consent. The wedding dress was the first long skirt she ever woro, and when she pronounced the fateful word: she was yeta_child. Soon afterwards he grandmother died, and she was left to the carc of the man who had promised to love and protect her. She aflirms that he at once began the course of brutal treatment that has led toa separation. On one_occasion, she claims, ho treated her so eruolly that hé had to fiec from the county to escapo the vengeance of the neighbors, and,wife-like,sho followed him to Des Moines. There the cruelty was_continued but she bore it in silence untit last Thanksgiving day, when on a drunken spree, he assaultod criminally his own cleven-year-old daughter, She had him arrested, but the case came_ belore a justico of the poace, where it was dismissed in some mysterious manner, and as her husband threatened to kill her she left at midnight and made her way to Omaha, taking tho child along with her. Since then she has endeavored to earn a living by housekeeping, and while looking for a suitable place to board her child lost her situation. Once more she found ono, but also found that dur- ing a short absence the child bad been spirited away, and it was_whilo about to ap- ply for police assistance, she was arrosted on the charge that was withdrawn tho next day. She claims that of the $250,000 left he $100,000 has been squandered by her hus- band, who still lives in luxury, whilo she is endeavoring to earn an boncst living by hard work.

George A. Hoagland furnished the lumber and materials for the erection of a dwelling house at 1123 North Eighteenth street, now owned by J. H. Sullivan. The housé was built last August and the contract for fur- nishing the lunber was made with Sanguin & Matteson, contractors and builders, but the materials were never paid for.

Some were of the old army style, and some were of the shooting gallory make, some were double barrelled and some were single, but noarly all of them wero larger than the boys that ca them, The charge preferred was shooting within the city limits, The case was continued until norrow, the guns being cousidered sufi- cient bail for the reappearance of the boys. They had been up at the gun club shoot, waiting for a chance at a bird that got be yond the bounds, when, 1n the excitement of the moment, they generally forgot how far the guns would earry, or i what direction they were pointed.

WasHINGTON, Feb. 1.—The conference re- port on the bill to create a department of agricutture was agreed to in the house, The only material difference betweon the two houses was upon the senate amendment striking out the clause transferring the weather bureal to the new department. The house conferees finally receded into oppo- sition to the senate amendment, and the clause was not retained. Mr. Cannon of Illinois, from the commit- tee on rules, reported a resolution providing that when the house proceeds to considera- tion of bills on the private callendar, senate bills shall have precedence for two 'legisla- tive days. Agreed to. The diplomatic and consular appropriation bill with the senate amendments was r ferred to the committee on foreign affairs.

A Lady Offers a Protest Against the n Square. Jditor of Tne Bee: Roceived, per mail, to-day a pamphlet with joint illustra- tions showing tho site of the city hall aa it now 1s, and Jefferson square photogravhed from a diseased imagination. Why not have shown both in prospective or both in one, In my expericnce of public life and affairs 1 have met with no greater absurdity than that presented by & fow property owners promising the people that their (the people's) money will be exvended in beautifying grouads conticuous to said property owners' possossions. Snch generosity is overwholm g and causes tho besat of “us to vlush be- cause we have nothing that belongs to some one else to give away. . Objection First: Can it be legally” used 08 a site for a city hall! Somo very strong opinions are quoted in the afiirmative and may be the letter of the law it mot one of the most earncat advocates of a removal can conscien tiously say it is the spirit; and, 1f it was so nominated 1 the vond, the conveyancing agly worded' I all lands and propertios set apart, dedicated or decded to the city as parks, can be used for any public purpose, why not use Hanscom park as a prencral froe-for-all cow pasture (it is used as a privato one now). “Turift, thrift, Hora Objection Sacond. A large building in the conter of Jofforson square would most as- surodly destroy it for park purposes, and the plea that a breathing place is necded is sneer ingly spokon of as a mere sentimentality, No doubt it is since several worthy men tell us 0. Then, what is that quality which induces the man of means to wigrate with his family to the seashore and watering-places when the sun is nearing the perpendicular. Ho gots away as far as he can from the bricks and mortar, the pavement, the house on the streot, the stuffy back yard, the work But'what of tho man’ whose daily earnings suftico for daily needs? 1s he never to 1 place ! never to see nature us doit? This may be sentimentality, but to deprive God's people of a spov of ground that they oan feel they own, and feol A common interest in, is bratality. When I say this I 'do not mean_that this place or any other on the face of this beautiful earth should be held as a_resort for the idle and vicious—the regulating of that now comos within_the authority of a metropolitan po- lice. ButIdo mean that the place should be-one where the laboring man could take his family for a change. He cannot go to Old Orchard beach. Newport, or the Ad- irondacks, but lic can go to Jefferson square, That the square is not kept in an attractivs or desirable shape, is much to be deprecated. We also deplore the fact that in some parts of the world people have only black bread to cat, yet no one would think of remedying the evil bytaking away the bread Just as soon as the first spadeful of earth was turned in Jefferson square it would cease forever to meet the requircments for which it was first set aside. It might be a_thing of beauty, and a few jet d'cau and flower beds would add light- ness and grace to the city hall. The rich man, the man of business, would point with pride to an imposing structure, with & few feet of ground on each corner intensely or- namented, and then step into his carriago and be driven rapidly out to the open coun try where buildings do not cumber the ground, to draw long inspiring breaths of frosh, pure ether.

The working class is the pulse of the na- tion. When the toilers are happy and healthy the commonwealth prospers. Thy no luxuries, but a scheme to de- prive them of comforts would, I fancy, if carried out, end as disastrously as did that of the old woman who tried to make her ducks subsist solely on buttermilk. ‘We are promised parks and boulevards and a union dépot, but we have Jefferson square —let us keep it.
