TIE NEW BUILDING OF THE CHAMBER OF
-CohsiERcE.-About three months ago designs
were called for by the Chamber of Commerce
for the remodelling of the old Bank OF South
Carolina building, at the corner of Broad and
East Bay streets, which was to be the future
quarters OF the Chamber. The design submit
ted by Mr.. John q. Devereux having been
adopted, work was at once begun, and under
the supervision of that energetic young archl-
tect, the plain old-fashioned bank has been
transformed into graceful, substantial and
highly ornate structure. The style Of architec-
ture adopted Is the Italian, so admirably adapt
ed to our climate and so deservedly
popular, corbel. dentel and bracket throwing
Hwealth of shade and shadow at once beau

a light cream tint, which contrasts beautifully
with the dark brown Of the magnificent stone
banking house, erected By the State Bank some
years since. on the opposite corner. The Of
fees on the ground floor, four in number,
three fronting on Broad street and the other
on the Bay, are convenient and airy, having
each the convenience of a large fire and bur-
glar-proof vault. The middle. Office on Broad
street is occupied by Mr. John S. Riggs, the
president Of the City Railway Company,
and the owner of the entire building
The second floor, which will be occupied by
the Chamber Of Commerce, contains two halls
beautifully corniced and furnished with ele-
giant though plain black marble mantels. In
the rear Of the main hall, is very broad and
spacious piazza, guarded and enclosed by a
beautiful balustrade. The entrance to the
chamber is at the north end of the East Bay
'front.' On the third floor. are two fine offices
to be occupied by Mr.. Devereaux, the archi-
tect who has removed his office from the
corner OF Church and Broad streets, and fine
large billiard parlor.
To the north Of this handsome ediice, Mr.
Charles Lltschgi, the Delmonico Of Charleston.

HUMORS OF CARONDELET.
Special TeIegrams YesterdAS.

Some one of the Rigdum Funnidosses who
most do congregate in the neighborhood OF
the gold room, seemed yesterday. to have
awakened to the importance Of the sound
maxim, in time Of peace prepare for war;
They seemed to be preparing their minds for
whatever is to come by preparing war be-
speaking protocols, manifestoes, and so
forth. As at each war the military art pro-
crosses and improves, so these military pa
pers were improvements on all that had
gone before, for they were graphically illus
trated with warlike emblems, calculated to
fright the souls of fearful adversaries."
Judging from one of these a6fches, there
is something the matter nearer home. We
give specimen so that the readers of the
REPUBLICAN can judge for themselves:
LATEST FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.
Owing to severe variations of the
weather, the flats of SlaughtefhOuse point
have been swept away by the breakers
(brokers). Small craft have their bottoms,
generally, knocked out, and heavy sailers
are on the stocks trying to repair damages.
Good freight in demand. ,...~s
1t is evident that this, like the letter that
s-his-name received, warning him of
danger, is altogether inexplicable per Sc,
and it is proposed, in the absence of other
means of education and enlightenment, to
send the document for interpretation to the
college that Captain Lemuel CULVER dis
covered at Lagado. ...

THE MYSTERIOUS MURDER. ;.
The Excitement Revived--Crime in Rh,d
Island.

| The Excitement Revived--Crime in Rh,de
Island.
Last winter, when the body of William
P. Angel, very wealthy citizen Of North
Providence, Rhode 1sland,. was found in a
reservoir, on his own premises, with marks
of violence on his person, fully proving that
he had heen murdered, the searching in
vestigation made at the time by the proper
authorities failed to throw any light on, or
bring the murder home to any party.
The excitement which, like all others of
the kind, was gradually dying away, has
been revived by the arrest of the wife and
two sons of the murdered man, and of an
Irish laborer, named Pagan, who worked on
Angell's farm at the time Of the murder. At
that time the facts brought out, at the in
quest, led to the general opinion that Mr..
Angel came to his death in his own house.
and that the crime was committed by in
mates Of his own family; but the evidence
was not legally conclusive enough to war
rant an Indictment against any of the sus-
pected parties. t
The grounds upon which these parties are
now arrested do not seem to be very clear,
but it is likely they are kept dark for good
reasons. The rewards offered by the town
council of North Providence, and Governor
Padelford, amounting to one thousand dol
lars, have caused several persons to continue
the investigation, among others Mr.. David
A. Brown, at whose instance the present ar.
rests have been made The whole affair vet
remains in mystery, although it may be pre-
sumed that the arrest of the family was
made On NO trivial pretext, and that full
eclaircisses,ent is probable. Ff. a"fT-
The affair is rendered doubly mysterious
from the fact that while it is claimed that
evidence has been gathered, such az will
secure the conviction Of the parties arrested,
yet all but the laborer Pagan have been re-
leased on bonds of $1,000 for each. Pagan re-
mains in prison. s'f t'+sf

4 Hc OOStOA AC5ueU Ststss F9e
Some time since, United States Marshal
Andrews, Of this district, received from
New Orleans copy Of an Indictment found
by q Louisiana court against one Julius H.
Alexander, in which he was charged with
fraudulently representing himself to be a
special agent of the United States treasury,
and SO obtaining from Max Dinklespidel, Of
New Orleans, $3.50 for pretended violation
Of certain revenue laws; also for receiving
Of Waddy Thompson, of the same place,
$500 on similar grounds, and also with de-
manding $1,000 from N. SOria also of New
Orleans. The New Orleans authorities, I'M
derstanding that Alexander was in this
neighborhood, requested his apprehension,
and he was arrested in Worcester county
Saturday. He was brought to
this city and taken before United States
Commissioner Hallett, by whom he was
held in $1,000 for further appearance on
Thursday next. Alexander claims that the
treasury officers know all about his alleged
fraudulent transactions, and that they will, !,
when communicated with, explain away his
apparent irregularity. ~ tf

ceived Deputy Marshal Loan, and ran

THE SHOOTING OF McCOOLE.


A Painful Operafion-His Fighting Days
Over-A Mysterious Affair.
From the st. Louis Republican, -a
The shooting of Mike McCoole in his own
saloon on Monday night has created quite a
sensation within the realm of the fancy,
particularly owing to the mystery about the
affair, and the probability that the Irish
giants fighting days are over. The scene
at the Office of DR.. Hodgen, where McCoole
was brought to have his wound attended to,
had an element Of the pathetic in it that
was realized by those present. The stall
wart form of the prize fighter tested a
movable couch or chair to degree it had
never before done. He lay stretched out at
full length with his head reclining on his
right arm. while his left arm, bare and CORY.
was being operated on by DIR. Hodgen.
while Billy Carroll and John Powell walked
about the surgery much exercised, and de-
claring they would sooner have leg cut
off than suffer the pain their friend was do
ing. When the doctor discovered the place
where the bail had lodged, he had to cut an
opening on the opposite side of the arm to
where the ball entered, and occasionally
pieces OF bone would be drawn out which
had been shattered by the bah. The doc
tor had to feel his way, and as bones were
caught by the instrument inserted, McCOOle
would make an ejaculation with an earnest
ness which was expressive of the agony On
dured, but he bore the trial manfully. Once
he remarked to Kelly that when the bones
were caught it went through him, and
Kelly responded that, as he held his hand,
he felt every shock. An inquiry was made
of DR.. Hodgen as to the extent Of the in
jury, and he replied that McCoole would
have a stiff arm. tI
McCOole (anxiously): VIII it never be as
good as it was before efytl a-
DR.. Hodgen: No. W 'f"r q
McCoole: Never! So 4sts.
Mr.. Hodgen: Never as good as it was
before.
McCoole with sigh: That settles it.
Nothing more was said upon this matter,
and McCOole lay deeply meditating The
conviction. flashed over his mind that his
fighting days were over and the result OF
his sadness could not be doubted.
DR.. Hodgen had not had such an arm
before him for many long day, seen in the
massive symmetry for which McCoole's
limbs are remarkable; it shows very clearly
his immense strength. Every now and
then McCoole bit his lips, but bore the
operation with wonderful coolness, and con-
versed freely with those in the room. He
was emphatic in his declarati tons that he
knew nothing about the affair He occa-
sionally asked Dr. Hodgen to let him rest
awhile, and to desist temporarily in his
efforts to extract the ball. t'f'

The Hockaday Bankruptcy Case.
The St. Louis Repatblican Of Wednesday

The St. Louis Republican Of Wednesday
says: sss, 1s easfe.sr t.. I'D. .5.5 A,.g
In reference to the case of Isaac Hocka
day, bankrupt, there appears to be consider
able diversity of opinion among the credi-
tors, some of them claiming that Hockaday,
previous to his arrest, was acting in entire
good faith with view that all the creditors
should receive the fun benefit of the estate.
They charge some of the other creditors
with procuring his bankruptcy by unfair
means while compromise was pending to
save them fifty cents on the dollar, and that
his arrest was simply ruse on the part of o
number Of creditors who were seeking to
gain an advantage over others. These, It is
stated, aided by St. Louis detective, had
him arrested while in a st. Louis sleeping
car on the Iron Mountain railroad, at De
Soto, and took $l3, 500 from him. Hocka-
day, it is alleged, was then coming to St.
Louis to make arrangements with his credi-
tors. It is feared that the estate will be
wasted in litigation. A $4,000 damage
suit is threatened against some Of the
creditors. t ~ @rf
