ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS,

Mr.. Gay, the architect of the Rockford
Court House, upon whose shoulders the
Coroner's jury laid the responsibility for
the death of the workmen who were kill
ed by the fall ofthe building, hasaddress-
ed letter to the Chicago Tribune, in
which he makes some important points
in his defense. He says he was paid to
prepare the plans and specifications, but
was not employed to superintend the
work, which was entrusted to promi-
nent contractor living at Springfield and
supervised by local inspector. 1t will
be remembered that the faulty portion
of the building was an interior wall that
supported the columns on which the ang-
les of the pavilion rested, and the thick
ness OF this wall, Mr.. Gay says, was IL
inches less than the specifications called
for. and the material employed, instead
of the hard brick demanded, was soft,
loose brick, which he certainly would
have condemned. The specifications,
moreover, called for bond,stones at fire.
quent intervals, and though there should
have been seventy-fye or hundred of
these, Mr.. Gay was not able in the ruins
to find one. All the architects examined
at the inquest testified chat the plan was
correct, il the supporting wall had been
thick enough and properly built, and that
it was not SO, Mr.. Gay insists, was the
fault ofthe contractor, not of the archi-
tect. But the contractor, who is also
building the Illinois State House, the
State Prison, and several other PUBLIC
buildings, is an influential politician, well
known at Rockford, where Mr.. Gay was
stranger, and the latter says when he
went there he found that the contractor
had already organized the jury with q
view to save himself. All this seems
more than probable, and the architects
statement should be received with atten-
ton, not only in justice to him, but as a
warning against the danger of allowing
an important work like this togo on
without competent professional supervis-
ion,

A Battle FOUGHT ON OUR SIDE
Oh THE RIO GRANDE.

GALVESTON, June I6.-A special to the
Ne7OS, dated Fort Clark, says on Mon
day last detachment of Mexican Gov
ernment troops crossed the Rio Grande
to this side at point twenty miles from
here in order to avoid conflict with a
large body of revolutionary troops fast
closing on them. On the same night a
revolutionary body crossed the river and
attacked the Government soldiers, killing
several and wounding many, after which
they returned to the Mexican side. The
United States military authorities at this
post made captives Of the Mexican troops
for violation of the neutrality laws in
crossing to the American side with arms
and having battle thereon. They were
brought to this post under guard of Unit
ed States troops. They are forty in num-
ber and include one colonel, three lieu
tenant -colonels, and five captains. They
were released on parole. Recruiting is
