EXPOSITION BUILDING.
The Work Progressing Rapidly.

The Work Progressing Rapidly
The work in the erection of the magnih-
cent Exposition building, full and Illus
trated description of which We gave last
week, on the corner of Broad and Spruce
streets, goes brsvely on. Though it has
been but week since the first timbers
were hauled to the ground, the work has
progressed sufficiently to clearly show and
define the outlines of the building IN &C.
cordance with the admirable cruciform de-
sign. We visited the locality yesterday
and found Mr.. Dunevant busily supervis-
ing the construction, and sixteen mechan-
les and hands engaged actively in pushing
the work forward, while wagons were un-
loading lumber and material in large
quantities. The bottom silis are laid al
around for the different sections, and the
principal part Of the morticing has been
done; q goodly number of the main pests
or uprights have been placed in position
and properly braced, and this part of the
work ready for the framing will be COM
pleted this week. The timbers are of the
best quality, as is also the lumber and
other material composing the building.
Several hands are engaged IN preparing
the arohing rafters for the roofing, preps-
ratory to its being laid and held together
with the stout tension rods, which ara
also being prepared. .r
Mr.. Duneva Is a master mechanic, and
pushes things forward with facility and
thoroughness. The workmen employed
are skilled in work of this character, and
fully comprehend the details and features
of whatever is given them to do. Thus
the work goes on with CELEBRITY and system.
With the continuance of good weather and
no unseen drawback, Mr.. ID. assures Us
that he will have his contract, as originally
made, according to the first draft Of the
design, completed by the first of April
So great IS the interest in the EXPOSITION,
however, and such demand for room, as it
is now apparent there will be, that the
managers contemT late the erection of an

ing on spruce, and running parallel with
the end of the main building, COMFORTING
with it in style and architectural finish.
It is also contemplated to improve upon
the original design in the laying Of neat
plank floor for the two front sections. In
the event that these additional improve
ments are carried out, as they most likely
will be, the entire work will not be CON-
pleted before the middle of April. At all
events, the building viii be finished in am
pie time for the Exposition in May, and
our people may be assured Of a grand and
successful exhibition, such as has never
| before been seen n Tennessee.

Got His Foot Mashed to a Jelly.

A very painful accident, and one that
will MAIN him for life, occurred to a
brakeman on the south-bound Chatta-
nooga train, near Bridgeport, on the
morning of the 8th inst. The brakes
mans name is Thomas House. At the
hour indicated, while the train was slowly
in motion, be aimed to step upon the
cow-catcher; his foot slipped aud he fell
upon the track. Soon after he fell, the en-
CINE, No. 80, passed over his right foot,
near the instep, decorating it terribly and
crushing it almost to a Jelly. The
wounded man was left at Stevenson, where
the physicians said he would have to have
his foot amputated- Mr.. House has been
for a considerable length of time on the
| road. He is 80 years of age, and is man
of family, residing at Normandy, on the
road. The accident is a very unfortunate
| one, as we understand that his family was
mainly dependent upon his earnings for 6
support.

The Morning Post afffrms that secret
treaty between Russia and Prussia was
concluded about the time of the outbreak
of the war, and says the following were
among its provisions: Russia was to in
tervene between the belligerents, in case
the French were successful, and should
menace Poland. In the event that an Aus
trian army should demonstrate upon the
Prusslan frontier, Russia was to check
mate it by demonstration upon the Aus
trian frontier, and in case any European
power should combine with France, Ras-
STA was to join Prussia.
