The same forces are at work as in the election of a week ago, and it might be pre dicted that the result would be the same were it not for one or two facts that tend to make the outcome rather ugcertain. It is stated that a aisaffection has been caused in the ranks of those who elected Dr. Lawrenco mayor, on account of the fact that the ro. publicans have been doine a great deal of bragging over tneir victory, when, in fact, party lines were drawn very loosely 1n thie campaign and the victory not €0 much a repubiican as a “citizen: victory. Again, school elections genarally fail to bring out a large proportion of tho voters, 50 that it may be that those who have a grisvance, who therofore will vote solid, may be able to offer a rebuke to the repub lican partisans unless an active effort is made by the republicans as a party to prevent it. The effort will bo made by the republican leaders, however, to induce everyone eutitled 1o vote to exercise bis right, and as the same thing is being done by the democrats, & full vote is looked for.

This will be an interestidg event for the patrons of the Boston store. “The Sinfulness ot Sin, At the First Presbyterian church yester- day Dr. Stephen Phelps took as his text the following passage from Rowans vii, 1 “Thatsin by the commandment might be- come exceedingly sinful.” He called atten- tion (o the fuct that the ease with which souls can be saved, by merely belicving on the Son, has made sin itself séem to many to vea trivial affair. He chose his toxt, there foro, with a view to bringing out as clearly as possible the fact that sin was loathsome to God—not any particular sin, but sin in enoral. “A crime,” he said, “Is 2 violation of man’s law; & sin a violation of Goa's law. Sin 18 not a disease for which we are uot respon- siblo; it 1s not an imperfection of our nature; itis a voluntary transgression, and the law is the mirror in which man looks and sees his owan sinfulness; 1t is tho light that is thrown into & weli and shows the filth that tills 1t; it is tho microscope through which we look and 860 the poisonous germs that fill our soul and which would escape uunoticed in our self satisfaction. 'he sum of the ten commandments is, ac- cording to Christ's precept, to love God and our neighbor as ourself. Donbtless we sin many times a day in word or action, but we sin ten times as often in thought, so that no eye but thator the Deity knows the true state of our souls, Sin i3 said to beset mon as a lion might, crouching .= wait for him as he comes out of his own door. The talo of the eastern monarch who ordered a black- smith to make an immense chain is a famil- iar ohe, After the blacksmith had workea a long time ho prosented himself before the king with the chain upon which ne had worked for years and was told to go and make it longer and stronger. A second and third timo he received %he same order, and when he at_last appeuared before the king he was ordered to be bound with the chain he had made and cast into a furnace of fire. So itis with & man who allows himself to be- como tho servant of sin, Every min admits that he s a sinuer, but mary times without any particular feeling. But when a man is brought under the powerof the spirit he trembles, weeps, flees and repents. “Sin brought on all the woe, sorrow, suf- fering and death that has ever afllicted the earth. Gogather up all tho woe and tears, measure all the bitterness, colicct all the sorrows, number all the deaths—for death is tho wages of sin—and you get an idea of tho exceeding sinfulness of siv. Go to the nother world, listen to the wailing and gnashing of teeth of those who are burning 1o a fire that is never to bo quenchod, aud understund the sinfulness of sin. It comes upon man as a silken thread that turns to a cable aud binds him fast. It is like the flowing of tho mighty river which carries him ulong on 1ts bosom in a resistless flow till it reaches tno deadly Niagara falls, O, man, if you are caught on the marciless tido of sin and are being car- ried on to certain destruction, remember that there 15 no hopo save in the protecting hands of Christ, and fly to hiw for safety.” Money to loan, ston & Lowest ratos /un Patten, Everett n Will Have s Now City Hall, The city council will hold a meeting this oveuing to make arrangements for teariug down the city hall and providing a place for the city oftices until the new one shall be in shape to receive tenants, There are soveral ofce buildings in viow, but it is said that the lower foor of the Sanborn building, cor- ner of Broadwuy und Bryant street, has the inside track, and will probably be chosen as the place.

Of course not! It would not be poetic; it would not please the dramatic taste of tho time. In this day and country the woman who forgives is angelic, and we like to think our women angels. A husband may wrong his wife grioviousiy, but when she condones his offense she sanctifies him and canonizes herself. Such 1s the sentiment of the time, and plays built upon this simple theme win our patronage nus our plaudits. Of such is “Will She Divorce Him ¢’ which Miss Cora Tanuer and her corapany presented at the Boyd last night. The i)lol is simple indeed. TIsabe' Spencer (Miss Tanner) is in love with Phiiip Agar, who is indifferent to her, butinfajuated with suile de Sardonne. The latter's husband suspects his wife's inconstaucy, and in_the first act comes upon the other thrce characters carcying a letter in his hand. It is unsignea and unaddressed, but was found in bis wife's room. It containa a declara- tion of love. The Viscomte de Sardonne de- mands an explanation. Consternativn! His wife extricates herself by asserting that she was merely carrying the lotter from Agar to Isabel, Agur assents tothe unexpected turn, makes a formal proposal to Isabel and is ac- cepted. This situation is intensely dramatic, but thenceforward the story has nothing of intricacy. After two yecars ‘of happy married life Isabel learns of her husband's infatua- tion by overhearing a conversation be- tween the guilty pair. She takes steps for securing a divorc Husband and wife meet for the last time, as they suppose, to make a division of their property, and are informed by a legal adviser that the divorce has been expedited unexpeotedly and the de- cree already granted. Agar and Isabel bave a touching scene in which they discover thatthe former has learned to love his wife and that her heart 1s still full of tenderness for him. The good friend opportunely steps in to teil thom that the report of the premature di- vorce was a trick of his to test their senti- ments toward each other, und the curtain oes down upou husband and wifo in each other’s arms, reunited aud reconciled. Miss Tauner has a face and a figure to tempt & Saint Anthony, but she does not de- pend upon her exceptional beauty for public favor. She has histrionic talent of & high order, and brings to any role she attompts the intelligence and the ability of an ambi- tious, accomplishod artiste, ~ She portrays Isabel s & proud but & wentlo woman, a self-respecting but a tonder wife, She pic- tures & most charming woman, one wno is t00 well bred to indulge in loud lamentations, too magnanimous to make scenes, Miss Tanner 1s emotional without being clamorous, und her method of repression is intense enough to reach tho senses without disturbiug the illusion. One might wish her A worthier vehicle than this drama affords, but such as the character is, it is most aa- mirably acted, and Miss Tauner received soveral enthusiastic curtain calls.

You do not, perhaps, ¥éalize tho in flusnce which a great newspdper like Tue Ber wields in forming public opinion, and how, like another Fate. 1t may make or mar the destiny of A young man struggling to make himself. Unfortunately, [ am at log- werheads with the majority of the Board of Education. My legal rights I expect to vin- dicate through the courts of justice. In the meanwhile, and awaiting the result of thess issues, I humbly beg you, Mr. Editor, not to pass judgmeqt upon my MOLives us & man or my efficiency as an architect, and 1 respect- fully request that you withdraw, uncondi- tionaily, the 1mputatiou contained in your editorial of March 8, 1802, which eaitorial was short, but cruelly to the point: *Archi- tect Berilnghof's own admissions in the charges made by Contractor Mengedoht in connection with the Kellom school building are enough to condemn him in the eyes of honest men."" The ‘“interview' in question was pub. lished in the same 1ssue as your editorial. The only languags 1n thatinterview which could bé tortured into an admssion of any sort was: “Did you advise Mengedoht to striko the Board of Education for extras on the stair building on account of a change in the plans after part of the work had been done!” *“Yes, 1dia,” said Mr. Berlinghoft, “‘He had a right to ask un extra for that, [ understand that part of the stairs had to bo built twice on account of the chauge and Mengedoht ought to have put in an extra be cause 1L was not his fault.,” Tam willing to stand by every word in the above quotation. So far from being dishon- est, the principle involved 1s absolutely fair aud reasonable. The plaus and specifica- tions called for stairs of a certain height and pattern and part of the stairs were built as called for and ready to deliver. Subsequently there was o radical change made in the plans and specifications, and this chauge required that new and different stairs be built. Hero was un extra expense which some one had to bear, The question is, who was to bear it! Certainly not Mr. Menge- doht, who was clearly not at fault in the mat- ter; but both law and equity would say that the persons making the chanve were the proper ones to pay the costs, and these per- sons were the Board of Education. So far as the other charges made against mo by Mr. Mengedoht aro concerned 1 have denied them each and all in my interview re- ferred to and 1 could add nothing to the strength of that denial vy repeating it here I did claim to Mr. Mengedont, and sl claim, that the wide brick arch over the front' door would have been very much strengthened and imbroved by the use of an iron beam, and that without this eye beam, as it is called, the arch was very liable to col- lapse. The correctness of this proposition I am willing to submit to any expert in the world. Now, if what1 say is true, why was not the iron beam used? It was made and delivered on the ground and the expense of putting it in place would have been very trifling in comparison to tho added strength it would have given to the building. If, in my dis- gust at this stupid omisyion, 1 expressed myself to the effect that the. building would collapse, it was all 1 sajd on the subject. For Mr. Mengedoht to assert that 1 was anx- ious to have the building tumble down, or suggost that the arch ho buikt in such a way that 1t should crush of its.own weight, is absolutely to falsify. He might as well ac- cuse me of arson, burglary or any other capi- tal offense. ; I have a contract with the Board of Educa- tion which I mean to enforce. ,Oue clause of the contract provides as follows: ‘*All work to be done under the supervision and to the satisfaction of said architeal.”, Mysell and partoner, Mr. Charles E. Bell, executed a bond 10 the school district of Omaba in_the sum of §10,000, in which we guaranteed with the school board to complete, in accord- ance with plaus and specilications, this building at a cost not exceeding $36,500 under our superintendence. You wiil therefore see that we not only agreed to superintend the construction of this huilding, but had given luree bonds upon this under- tanding. Moreover, the feos of superinten- dency would be the raost considerable part of our profits, but the board, without our au- thority and against our protest, employed Mr. Hamilton us superintendent. There is an old saying that ‘too many cooks spoil the broth.” Mr. Hamilton a: a .t yselt disagroed almost from the start. His way of doing things and mine were totaliy different. When I protested to the Board of Education that my way was proper and should be fol- lowed, T was in every instance snubbed ana Mr. Hamilton sustained. I do not know what political backing Mr. Hamilton may possess to make him such a prime favorite with the Board of Education, for I am no politician. 1 do, however, proféss to know my busine: poth as an architect and superintend ent, and I submit that both under my contract and the terms of my bond it was my duty to see that the plans and specifica- tions were strictly carriea out and the work done and the material furmshed as provided for. Accordgly when the work was near- ing completion I sent to the Board of Educa- tion my solemn protest against some of the work doue and somo of the material fur- nished. My objections were as follows: 1. Betwean the rough and fimishea floors the specifications called for tar felt paper. There was substituted the ordinury building paper and 1n sume places 1o paper whutever was used. This 1 assert aud stand ready 1o prove. 2, The brown coat as well as the finish coat of the black boards 1 not as called for by the plans and specitications. 3. The construction of the main entrance on the east side is not as called for by the plans and specifications, and the arch is sagged and the joints are open, Thisisa positive charge and 1 stand ready to prove it, 4. The locks on the doors were specified to be the Yale & Towne lock No. 1,620. A much gheaper quality of lock was substituted and un ess changed will occasion much an} noysuce and everlasting repairs, 5. The back bands of pilasters of the finish around doors and windows huve been put on in two or three pieces, whoreas it should have been in one piece. This, of course, is not o very serious defect, but as superintendent I should never have permitted 1 6. The glass in the windows is not of the qualivy called for by the specitications, but is of a cheapor grade. This certainly I should never have permitted, 7. The specirications calied for bead work around the pilasters and beams and on beams themselves. Ths is, of colirse, a watter of ornament only, but it adds materially to the appearance and finish of the work and should not have been omitted, us it has been, 8. The plaus and specifications required that the interior brick walls be built up to the top of second story déiting joists. The utility of this is apparent/for it adds to the strength of the buildin®‘snd lessens the chance of fire. It has not'been dene. 9. The roof has not beeti 'éonsiructed in ac- cordance with drawings a6d as directed by the building iaspector, altholigh extra allow- ance was made to the'contractor on this account, which he probably is not 100 honest to collect, > 10. Tuere are numerous’ posts left out and almost one-nalf of the brace: 11. There was a lurge gHantity of soft sal- won brick bauled to the fRilding which were condemned and ordered taken away; most of these brick, however, were used in the inside walls. This I would not#ave allowed had I been suporintendent of the building, Please bear in mind, Mr, Editor, that in the above effort Lo explain mysell | am not.en- deavoring Lo besmirch Mr. Hamilton or any memner of the Board of Education.

Cries of & Child Prevent a Mo at Diferent Places, New Yonk, March 13. A fire that but for the cries of a 3-year-old child would have probadly resulted in a heavy loss of life oc curred at 2:30 o'clock this morning in the Janet, a soven-story, first-class apartment house on Columbus avenue, this ocity. When the baby Luceile, the adopted child of Ida Pierson, a cook in the family of T. A. Car roll, who occupied the second flat, awoke its mother, the room was filled with smoke. The cook aroused the other servants, Mr. and Mrs, Carroll and their two daughters, and then gave the alarm from the window. An engine on the elevated road took it up, a fire box was'rung, and the fire department arrived after a fow minutes, Meantime the fire, which had evideatly been burning a long time, had com- pletely cut off the escapo of tho Carroll bousehold either by the hall- way orthe fire escapes on thie Columbus avenue side. They were taken from the windows on the front by the firemen. The other tenants escaped, The damage was about $8,000. In the Ruins of Jersey Clty's Fire. Jersey City, N. J., March 18, —~The scene of last night's fire at the Jersey City termi nus of the Lackawanna road was visited to- day by throngs of sightseers, many of whom crossed the river from New York, The ruins smouldered all day, and occasionally flames shot up from the mass of debris left of the tiers of baled hay that was piled in the big wooden shed on dock No. 2. It was ascertained today that at least one life was lost in the fire, and there are rumors thut & body of a drowned bargo hand lies in the slip, between aock 2 aud the Erie com- pauy’s grain elevator. A party of workmen picked their way through the two ruined track pits that divided the platform floor of the shed into throe sections. - At the extremo eastorly end of the south track, about where the fire was first noticed, the searchers dis- covered the body of a man burned to a orsp. Tho remains were identified, by means of a pair of spectacles and & bunch of keys, as those of John Gregg, a night watchman em ploved on dock No. The man taken to St. Francis hospital from the fire proved to be Thomas Cordener,known as “'lnglish Tom,” employed on the hay bargo Burhingham, who fell overvoard during the excitement and was resoued by James White, who plunged in tho ice cold water after him. The engineer was able to leave the hospital this morning. An uaknown man was treated at the same hospital for slight burns. According 10 1ne statement of John Lapey of dock No. 2, there were 147 car loads of pressed bay or about 20,550 bales in tiers on the platform, with nine bales of cotton and a few barrels of sugar. On this basis the loss on freight will be about §0,000. The value of dock No. 2 with shea is estimated all the w: from 25,000 to &50,000. The damage to ral road property could not be ascertained. It is thought an outlay of $40,000 will be required to repair the shed ana pier. When the fire broke out the adjoining slip was full of hay barges and lighters. Muny of the crafts took fire and had to be hur riedly towed out in order to proventthe blaze from spreading to the grain elavator on thesouth. As it was the barge Suffolk and the steam lighter Elizabeth were burned be- yond repair. ‘They were wortn about 40,000 and $10.000 respectively. The other barges that were damaged were the Buffalo, Ambo; Burlingham, Hunteley, Ramsoy and Mar- gavet H. The Buffalo is owned by the Frie Railroad company. The others belong to various freight transportation companies and firms. The damage to the barges will agiregato $20,000. alrie Fires, Guririe, OKL, Maroh 13.—A terrible prairie fire has been ranging for several days in the eastern part of Payne county, doing many thousand dollars worth of damage.

They Flog and Seriously Injurea Resident ot St. Clair Township, Pirrsnure, Pa., March 13,—The flogging of Frank Winehammer of lower St. Clair township by whitecaps last Monday was only the beginning of a movement by the residents to reform that district ana drive from the community a lawless class, who havo been a source of much annoyance for years. It is claimed that there are over 100 “speak easies,” or unli- censed liquor saloons in and about the settlement of Hefllow, and that large numbers of desperate characters of both sexes from Pittsburg frequent the place on Sunday. It 1s proposed to force the proprietors of the ‘‘speak easies” to remove to more congenial quarters, and to that end a band of regulators has becn organized. It includes many of the prominent residents of lower St. Clair township, and unless the pro prietors of these places take tha hint and go of their owu accord, they will receive the same treatment as Winehammer, The latter was 80 badly poaten that he 1s still at the hospital. e THEIR LUNCHES WERE POISONED. Two Pennsylvania Boys Die as the Result of Pllfering Food. Puitanerenia, Pa,, March 13.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.|—Frank and Lewis Moore, of Crozer's mill, Chester, Pa., died toauy from poisoning. It is supposed that the lads stole und ate thelunch of some other boys that was dosed with arseuic, Itis known that Frank and Lewis were both taken ill im- mediately after eating dinner at the mill. Sus- [vlcwn points to a terriole method of discover- ng the pilferers of the lunch vaskets. This method, it is thought, was to dose & cake or a piece of ple with arsenic.
