THE RECENT IMPROVEMENTS THAT
HAVE BEEN MADE

THE RECENT IMPROVEMENTS THAT
HAVE BEEN MADE.
Since the recent fire at the Masonic Temple,
structure, Workmen have been employed in max
ing the necessary repairs consequent on the re-
suits Of that disaster. What was left of the
wooden main stairway, leading from the sidewalk
to the second floor, has been entirely removed,
and one Of iron substituted. 1t is Of neat finish,
and much Of an Improvement on the old one. Be
meath, where the gentlemen's retiring closets
stood, and lumber-room adjoining, has been
closed up and the closets brought further forward
toward the side entrance. 1t will be remembered
that II was in this rubbish room the IRE origin
ated and to avoid q repetition or likelihood Of it
the place has been completely shut in, and thus
will prevent the entrance Of InterlOpers in the
future A kitchen has been built by the side of
the smaller hall, which will be used for tempo
ming up and down stairs on the occasion Of sup
pers in this room. The main hall, the ceiling Of
which was entirely spoiled by the intense volume
Of smoke that was forced into IL, is now being
frescoed in very tasteful designs, and when COM
pleted will be q marked improvement on the for
any early application that may be made for Its
use. The st. Georges saloon on the ground floor,
was also considerably injured by smoke ald water
at the time Of the fire. That also has been reiu-
venated, and presents q handsome appearance.
Mr.. Levi Woodbury., the gentlemanly proprietor,
has kept time with the directors Of the hall in re-
painting, paperinR and furnishing, and now has
an attractive saloon that Will satisfy the taste of
even the most fastidious. All Of the work of i'm
proving has been rapidly and we'll done, and re-
fleets credit on those under whose directions 1t

OE 1hL DEEOS11OEAO.
Ameeting of the depositors Of the Freedman's
bank was held last night at Union Bethel hall.
Professor ]. P. Sampson was called to the chair,
with DR.. s. r. Watts as secretary. There were
some forty persons in attendance. The objects Of
the meeting were briefly stated BY the chairman,
when DR.. Purvis cSunseled the adIOurnment
Of the meeting, on account OF the limited
number present, and because full prepare
lions were not made for a complete statement
of the affairs Of the bank. Mr.. Ro. Purvis, one OF
the commissioners appointed to wind up the az
fairs Of the bank said statement would be made
at the next meeting. 1t probably would not be
as favorable as that already published, nor would
IL be so bad as those who, in connection with 1t,
had taken advantage Of the fears and necessities
of the depositors. The bank had been destroyed
by a ring. He eOmplimented Mr.. Leopold for the
faithful manner in which he labOrs for the inter-
ests Of the bank.
