works. Messrs. Had6eld & Coulman had
agreed that they would give the citizens a
better display of fireworks than was ever
given before in the city, aud also guaranteed
perfect satisfaction to the committee. The
committee acknowledgements that they had
not fulfilled their contract and had disap-
pointed the expectations OF the citizens, and
therefore cut their bill down from $500 to
$500, which amount they considered amply
paid for the exhibition.

The committee found it necessary to cut
down the bills pretty generally in order To
make the disbursements come within the
amount OF the collections. The collections
fell off considerably from the rough estimates
reported to the General Committee, and
when it came To discussing the amount actu-
ally paid into the treasury, considerable more
difficulty was experienced than in making
appropriations by the General Committee
upon the basis of anticipated receipts. The
committee, however, endeavored to act as
impartially and fairly as was in their power

Having completed its work, the committee
adjourned sine die.
GLIDING THE CAPITOL DoME-The iuitia-
tory work for gliding the roof of the cupola
of the Capitol dome is in progress. The
staging and frame necessary for the purpose
are being erected around and above the Gu
pola, which is to be covered in with light
cloth as a protection from wind and sun
while the gold leaf is being applied. The
copper sheathing covering the roof, which is
now In a tarnished or blackened state, is first
to be polished by use of chemicals and stN5
hair brushes, after which the convex surface

about $780, and which viii retain its purity
and brightness for ages. The ball on the
crest of the cupala, which was gilded at the
time of its erection, was covered with Coin

coin being melted and poured over it. The
surface Low to be gilied above the cupola is

work Is being done by A. H. Lamphear,

pected from the gliding has led to a desire on
the part of many leading citizens to have
the main roof OF the dome also gilded. This,
