constant ebullition Of excitement for
the last two months. Within that

1 THE LAYING OF THE CORNER STONE
of the United States Custom House
on Wednesday last was q grand affair.
For months the people had talked
corner stone during the day, and
dreamed corner stone at night, the
newspaper reporters had written col.
umns Of corner stone articles, the city
council had met tri-weekly to vote ap.
preparations and arrange corner stone
committees, until every man, woman
and child In the city was interested in
the subject OF laying the big corner
stone. Some were so enthusiastic that
| verify balieve they would have sac
rifoed . years income, IL necessary, to
have made IL q success.
There we're about thirty.fiye thous-
and in the procession. Ten thousand
were school boys, and the remainder
were made up largely OF secret socie-
des, Masons, Odd Fellows and Knights
Of Pythias. Forty-two martial and
cornst bands furnished, music for the
occasion. The line Of msrch was from
Aadison and Lake streets down Wab.

thence across to Michigan Avenue, and
from there TO the Custom House, leav-
ing Michigan Avenue at Adams street,
distance Of about four miles. BY 8

did not take up the line Of march nm
Ill nearly eleven o'clock. Notwith.
standing the intensity Of the heat the
crowd heroically stood their ground
until the procession would pass them.
The day was sutiocatingly warm and
quite number Of cases OF sunstroke
occurred, two ofwhich were fatal. A
