The walls of the new addition TO the
Weldon are nearly up, one story remain
ing, which will be finished during the
next week The building Committee
have had many difficulties to contend
with i'm getting their lumber, princi-
pally owing to the late frcshcts, their
material mostly coming by rail. They
are doing all in their power to advance
the work. and we believe the intention
is to open the main part on or before the
first OF next month. The offices are
nearly completed, and will be second to
none in the country Everything in
the culinary" department is to be
the most perfect and modern. Great
credit is due Mr.. Mcdonald, as well as
the other committee, Messrs. f.. A..
Smith and II. n. Barber, for their tact
and energy in planning and executing
a work which will, when completed,
give us hotel of mammoth dimen-
tons and tirst-class in all its appoint
ments.
l.. j. SWEET, is the architect, and it is
enough for us to say that it is "A peculiar
gift of his to bring order convenience
and elegance out of chaos.
The mason work is contracte | to
Mes.rs. Samuel Randall, and f. r..
Carpenter, who, we believe, under the
unavoidable delays attending the non
arrival lumber, &c, have advanced their
work with remarkable rapidity. The
plastcring, furnishing and ornamental
work il under the immediate supcrvis-
ion of Mr.. Randall, who knows how to
do these things as well as the next man.
The brick work is in charge of Mr..
CARPENTER, who will, elf nothing
breaks" speedily bring the work to q
successful issue. Mr.. Carpenter is
master of his trade, and ranks second
to none as Il master builder. Under
his management the thorough com
pletion of building, we, as a journal,
guarantee; and will, no doubt, make
his mark as good mechanic. The
Plumbing and gass-fitting is done by
our tOwnsman Mr.. Norwich, and we
need only to add that he will do his
work well and promptly. The paint
ing is done by Chas. Thompson, who
will make things " shine" at the We'll
den. The addition to kitchen is % 80,
walls - feet high, giving many con-
veniences to that already extensive de-
partment. The main addition is 40 SO,
four stories high, giving to the house
some 75 or 80 more rooms.
Much more might be said, did time
and space allow, but this will suffice for
the present, to givesome idea of
tee magnitude of this really elegant and
hard-tO-beat house."
Hundreds of dollars worth of elegant
furniture, carpets and furnishing goods,
of every conceivable description has
arrived, and coming daily, and every
room is receiving its allotted fixtures
and furniture.

a new telegraph scheme is now pro-
jected from Havana to Porto Rico, and
thence through the chain of the West
India Islands to South America. The
company organized for this undertak-
ing has received an exclusive privilege
for landing cable IN the Islands of Cuba
and Porto Rico for period of 40 years.
ana subsidies fora term of 10 years have
been voted by various colonial govern
ments.
1t is stated that the present cable from
Florida to Cuba, with oil the drawbacks
incident to the popularity of the man.
agement, is earning profit of $4,000 n
month.
Arrangements ars being made in Bra

from Rio to Boka and Pernambuco.
This line will form valuable junction
with the proposed West India system.
An order having been promulgated by
the new General Superintendent of the
Erie Railroad for the reduction of brake
mon on all freight trains, the brakemen
struck yesterday, and the freight trains
came to stand still. The order reduced
the number of brakemen on each train
from three to two.
Later in the day, the order was re-
scinded, the brakemen resumed work
and the trains proceeded.
New YORK, 18th.
a Washington despatch says, it is
complained here. by those friendly to
the success of the Cuban Gauge, that
Admiral Hoff, who commands the
American squadron stationed at Cuba IL
more friendly to the Spaniards than his
duty as an officer requires him to be.
In proof of this, they point to the fact
that all his dispatches to the Navy De-
partment are full of statements calcula-
ted to impress our people with the idea
that the insurgents are constantly de-
feated, and have no reasonable prospect
for success.
The authorities here explain the
course of Admiral Hoff by saying that
necessarily all the information he gets
comes through Spanish sources, and
that he has no means of knowing what
is going on in the interior of the Island.

MAKING 4 VILLA DEMossrRAr1oN By
A SAVAGE HusBAND.-On Wednesday eve
ming Messrs. Gardner and Goodhart, at
torneys, were sent for to make a will
for woman named Mrs. Sprang, who
was reported to be near her death. They
repaired to the house and TO the room
of the sick woman. Soon after, the hus-
band came In, and learning their err
rand, directed them in rather an en-
phatic manner to leave. Believing "pos-
session to be at least nine points Of the
law" they refused to 60 whereupon he
was about to proceed to eject them, when
several men came in and seized the pugi-
listic husband, forced him into the hall,
and locked the door. He secured large
carving knife, and while the will was being
executed filed the air with threats of a
bloodthirsty character. The will having
been executed, the attorneys desired to
leave, but the carving knife was constantly
in their path like drawn sword. They
tried the window, only to find the carving
knife glistening before their eyes. The
stratagem of barristerial genius was re-
sorted to, but Mr.. Sprang was ever ready
to spring for them. At length, while the
man was in the house, the door was held
by several men, and then the attorneys
crawled out of window and left the cary
ing knife and its wielder unsstiated. The
man was ordered to be arrested, but the
order was not carried out, and afterwards
by the request of q daughter, 1t was re-
called. The cause of the mans opposition
was that the woman desired to give por.
ton of her property to her two daughters
and the husband was bound to have the
whole.-Ne,o Haven Comm Journal, ia

A Man Tied to a Rtngbolt I'm bis
~ Office and Robbed. q

From the Boston Transcript, Februarya @
queer robbery is reported to have been
com mitted upon Mr.. David C. giseon, trea-
surer of Post No. Is, g. A. R., yesterday.
Mr.. Sisson's story is substantially az fol-
lows He had just entered his office in the
headquarters Of the Post, in the third story
of building at the corner Of Lucas and
Washington streets, OF II O'clock A. NJ,
when q woman, who had evidently followed
him up the staircase, sccosted him, and in
the manner usual with applicants for relief
asked for aid. After hearing her case, Mr..
Sisson concluded that her story did not
come under his cognizance as treasurer
Of the Post, and informed her that he
could not, aid her. Ab : 3 went out
he requested her to 81. i the door,
which fastened with dead tch. Whether
the woman shut the door or net, Mr.. sisson
says he was too busy to notice; but in less
than five minutes he was seized from be-
hind around the neck by the strong hands
of a man, who had entered unperceived,
with the remark, in q subdued tone, " 1're
got you" The Treasurer says he resisted
as he best could, but was SO ehoked that he
could not utter cry until dragged to q
ringbolt in the floor of the ante room,
where, placing revolver at his head, the
assailant told him that If he made noise
he would "put his light out" The man
then produced rope about the size Of a
small clothes line, and secured Mr.. Sisson
by the neck to the bolt: He then went to q
small box wherein the Treasurer was in
the habit of keeping the POSTS funds, and
after examining the several envelopes in
which different moneys were enclosed, OBJ
tanned about &400, which he pocketed. he
then returned to his prisoner and took
from the latter's pantaloon pockets wallet
containing his private funds and other valu-
ables, amounting in the aggregate to about
5000, and deliberately left, with the remark,
as if addressed to On accomplice in the entry,
place tonight ?" Though the robber had
once before during the operation spoke as
though somebody was within hearing, Mr..
Sisson says he heard no response nor foot
steps and saw no other person. The victim
was left in the position above described,
with his head 80 near the floor and the rope
so tight around his neck that he could make
out very little noise. In this position he
was compelled to stay for more than an
hour, not having been able 10 make him
self heard by people on the ground floor;
and finally released himself by persistently
gnawing at the rope, which at last parted.
The affair has been placed in the hands of
the detectives, State and city, who are en-
gagged in considering" it. Mr.. Sisson
thinks he should be able to fully identify
his assailant.
I'VE stated several days ago that sisson
was suspected of having appropriated the
money to his own use.

Negro Eligibility in Georgia.

ATLANTA, Ga, February 5.-The House
refused to consider the resolution referring
negro eligibility to the Supreme Court. In
opposition to the Reconsideration it was said
the question Of negro eligibility belongs
imperatively to the House, and it would
degrade itself by referring the ii:Sation to
another branch Of the Government after
the House had solemnly settled the cues
ton. The judgment of this House is final
and conclusive in sll the world. The House
has decided that negroes are not eligible to
seats on this floor, and the decision must
stand, and cannot be referred to the courts.
