Building In 1880.
THE INDICATIONS THAT LOTS OF NEW
BUILDINGS WILL GO UP.

THE INDICATIONS THAT LOTS OF NEW
BUILDINGS WILL GO UP.
A reporter was told last night by a
prominent contractor and builder that
The indications for building during the
present year in this city were exceeding
ly good. "My opin,on,' said he, ais that
there will be much more work than dur
lEg 1870, and that the prices will be a
good bit better. In the first place, my
reasons are that there is great in crease
in The business of the city, and that the
prosperity with which the year opens is
of much brighter nature. But more
than any other thing that leads me to
tins impression is the apparent need of
the manufacturing world. Even now
there is a demand for large factories,
and, think, thai quite a number will
be contracted for and built in the spring
and summer. If this Is the case, and,
even though the number of new build
lngs is no greater, the season will be a
great deal better on account of the high
er price paid for erecting large buildings.
Nearly all The buildings put up last year,
you remember, were small dwelling
houses.
.Further than this there appears to
be general revival in the trade, and
there is more talk of work than for a
long time. If this state of affairs comes
about carpenters wages will be better,
and they ought to be-"

Two weeks, the house being crowded At

very successful engagement at Fords
Iheatre, Washington, and is now Der

the trained monkey "Jennie," will be
introduced. The Baltimore Sun SAYS:
The production of "The Octoroon.n %
by the Gotthold combination, at the
Opera House, last evening, was all that
had been promised of it. The cast was
good and the scenic effects excellent.
Mr.. Gotthold's "oalem Scudder' was a
good piece of character acting. The col

THEY TALK LOUD AND LAUGH LOUDER
BUT KEEP THEIR DoINGs VERY
QUIET.
When a GAZETTE reporter unsuspect.
ingly walked into the meeting of the
Republican County Executive Commit
tee, IN the third story of the Adams
building, yesterday afternoon, he noticed
looks Of panied surprise and apprehen-
sion upon the faces of many of the lead
ers, but for the time being, failed to in
terpret them arght. The committee
was in session at the time, land President
pro. tenn, Solomon Townsend was in the
char. Seated around the room were
numerous Republican Office holders and
would-be office holders. The proceed
ings stopped shoIt when the newspaper
man entered and were not resumed un-
til he made his exit.
Thomas w. Saville, after sundry winks
at others around him, arose and said:
sMr. President there is reporter here
what haint got no business to be pres
ent."
"That reporter will have TO retire."
promptly responded chairman Town
send.
The object of annoyance having been
dispensed with the meeting continued
its business, and what was done consum-
ed considerable time. The proceedings
cannot be given here and they mi ght not
be found interesting if their publ ication
was possible.
Some time after the ejectment of the
reporter parties passing on Market street
heard sounds of wild disorder issuing
from the room and echoing down the
narrow stairway. Sometimes it was the
noise of downright hilarity, and anon,
the loud tone of voice uttering denun-
ci-tory words in the heat OF passionate
excitement.
"Only the republicans on one of their
usual jamborees," was the remark made
by parties who heard these sounds, aud
on those acquainted with political mat
ters, the idea forced itself that the party
was straying again into the path that it
once before found so full of the snares
and pit tails Of personal differences.
What caused all the disturbance those
present alone know, but suffice it to say,
1t was of such pronounced nature that
more than one member left the place
with flushed face and angry brow. None
who came out went back, and it seemed
that the harmony was thoroughly brok-
en-.
1t is known that action was taken upon
the Supervisors of a sessments, and that
the delegates from each hundred report
ed names for the Chief Supervisor to
suggest to the Judge of the Circuit Court
for appointment. Strict orders were Civ
en- and resolution passed to prevent
these names from being made public.
The cause of the stormy time at the
meeting of the committee came to light
to-day, and is a topic of conversation
among the republicans. 1t seems that
the matter was a windy set-to between
a Mr.. Townsend, newly elected dele
gate from Appoquin.nink Hundred and
John d. Garter, member from the
same hundred. Mr.. Carter objected to
the presence of Mr.. Townsend, not
knowing, as was the case, that he had
been elected to fill vacancy at the pre-
vious meeting. During the debate which
ensued Mr.. Cater tartly alluded 10 GER
