Several novel features in building
have just been introduced in an
eight-story business house being
erected in New York by Vernon X.
Stevenson. The tide of opinion in
the fire department and among in
surance companies having lately
turned against iron beams, the
owner has placed on his floors thick
wooden beams one foot from centre
to centre and filled the interstices
with cement, thus forming a solid
floor two feet in thickness, which he
claims will resist the penetration OF
fire for several days, whereas, he
says, the iron beams would bend
with the heat and fall out, and the
building cave in" The stairs are OF

THE Bolton county convicts are
hired out in Brazos county. The
fact is a very broad assumption of
authority, and yet there are several
county courts in Texas doing like
wise. The act is certainly illegal,
and when the convict is taken be-

which has convicted him he ceases,

THE Seguin Times understands
that General John r. Baylor will be
a candidate to fill the vacancy in the
state senate, caused by the death OF
Judge Powers. The Times says OF
him: ale understands the wants OF
the frontier as few men do, and has
the brain and force of character to
enforce his views. The called ses-
sion of the legislature will be OF
great Importance, and west Texas
needs the ablest men that we have
to represent us-consequently we
say, hurrah for Jack Baylor"

THE house commerce committee
have been considering the Reagan
bill. Representatives of the cham
Der of commerce, board of trade
and transportation and produce ex-
change of New York, the board of
trade of Dubuque and the milling
interests of Minneapolis have APP
peared before the committee, and
nearly all the arguments made by
them were substantially in accord
with the provisions of this bill.
Mr.. Thurber, of New York, who APP
peared before the committee, made
strong appeal in favor of the enact
ment of positive law defining the
public rights in regard to railroad
transportation. He insisted also
that there should be supervision by
executive power to see that the law
is properly executed. Mr.. Reagan
is strong believer in the result
that his bill will after a while be q
law. 1t is certainly gaining strong
support in all portions of the
country.
