THE VINEGAR MEN.
They Favor the Existing Law With the
Addition of Clause.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 90
Rechtner, OF Milwaukee, with other rep
sssl1tatlves Of the National Vinegar
Association, are here to obtain the ap-
proyal Of the secretary Of the treas
ury and the commissioner of IN
terual revenue to a bill to put
upon q more stable basis the manu-
faetureo OF vinegar by the alcoholic vapor-
izing process. The bill IN substance
proposes that the existing law shall be
continued, with the addition that these
vinegar distillers shall be under the
supervision of government store
keepers. The vinegar men are dis
turbed by passage IN the report OF
the commissioner of internal revenue.
Commissioner Evans suggested that
further legislation was necessary to pre-
vent fraud in the manufacture of vine
gar from alcoholic vapor. The vinegar
manufacturers say that their industry
has so increased that 1t is just that it
should be pat on more stable basis.
They are harrassed on the one side by
the distillers, who are endeavoring to re-
peal the present vinegar law; on the 9TH
er hand they are opposed by the cider
vinegar manufacturers of the east, who
are unable to make vinegar as cheap.
They have developed a new line of
exports; they made it possible for
the packers to save their tripe, pigs
feet and other articles which have
hitherto been thrown away or sold at
two cents a pound, aud pickle them and
to export them IN large quantities, SO
that the refuse material has increased in
value 10 five cents per pound; they have
driven adulterated vinegar from the
market, as un2er the alcoholic vapor
process pure vinegar can be made more
cheaply than aduirerated vinegar can be.

Didn't Hit Him.

A tough old debtor IN town across
the Hudson entered grocery the other
morning, and stood for long time look
ing at an exhibition of plug tobacco.
The grocer felt certain that the old man
wanted credit, and he determined to
head him off. He therefore observed:
81 have to sell that tobacco for cash
down
"You do, eh "
Yes, sir. Tobacco is cash on the
nail.
"How's sugar
"That's cash.
"Tea and coffee ?"
"Cash-all cash. Soap, molasses,
candles, kerosene, butter, potatoes,
flour, rice, hams, starch-all are spot
cash"
The old man stood and looked over
the stock for five minutes, and then
heaved long sigh, and replied :
"Well, Mr.. Waters, that don't hit me

to the nomination of President Arthur.
Said he: 81 don't see why we should not

A FIGHT WITH BURGLARS.
The Tennessee Style of Defending a
Household.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, November 2l.-
Monday night desperate attempt was
made to burglarize the house of J. J.
Garrett, in New Providence, a mile and
a half from Clarksville. Two men broke
a window with a ence-rail, and as they
entered the house Mr. Garrett seized
his bird-gun and fred both bar
rels, killing one of the burglars,
and then engaged in q hand to
hand fight with the remaining burglar.
Mr.. Garret was fred on several times,
and lies at his house-desperately wound
ed in the left lung. After being shot he
made the fight so hot that the remaining
burglar ran under the bed. Mr.. Garrett
dragged HIM out and threw him from
the window. 1t is thought by some that
he, too, is dead somewhere in the neigh
borhood. Mr.. Garrett's wound is not
necessarily fatal. Four or five persons
are supposed to have composed the clan.

THE VERDICT.
The Architects and Contractors are Re-
sponsibie for the Accident.

MADISON, November 21.-The coro-
ner's jury investigating the cause of the
collapse Of the south wing of the capitol
extension returned verdict at 4:45
o'clock this morning, having retired at 8
o'clock last evening and been in active
discussion of the evidence all night.
After detailing the particular manner of
the death OF each of the five victims and
attrlbuting 1t to the falling of a portion
of the south wing, the jurors find as fol-
lows:
That the internal construction Of the build
ing was such as to render il especially the sub
ject of disaster from accidents liable TO occur
during erection; that during such erection. and
probably because of the settling of the east
ern and western walls, cracks occurred in the
brick piers and plIasters supporting the ends
of the girders and columns, endangering the
building and the workmeH III and about it;
that one of the cracks occurred and was known
to the contractors IN charge to exist for several
weeks prior to SAID falling, in the second story
pier Of the south partition wall near the south
east corner Of the building, and that said con-
tractors attempted to strengthen said pier in
an entirely insufficient manner; that Mt the
time OF such repair on Tuesday. November
8Jh, said pier was apparently yielding under
the weight II supported, and was 10 a precari-
GUS conditions that at this time there rested
on the columa having its base upon said pier.
a weight yari0usly estimated at from fourteen
20 eighteen toDs, which was gradually increased
by placing concrete filing in the arches above;
that on the day of falling, November Sth, the
pier had given way still more; that in all prob
ability the building gave way al this point.
First. we therefore find that Oscar F. Now
Ian, one Of the contractors, by causing said
second story pier OF the south partition wall,
near the southeast corner Of said south wing,
TO be improperly aud insuficiently repaired,
was guilty OF grave error and contributed
thereby to the falling Of the south wing on the
8th day of November; that D. r. Jones and
FL. C. Koch, as designing and consulting arch
itects were guilty of negligence in designing
the internal construction OF the said south
wing Of the capitol extension without Fdue
and proper regard for safety during erection
and thereby contributed to the falling on tbs
8th day Of November, 1888.

Officials at the capitol and citizens
generally do not hesitate to express
much disappointment at the verdict,
which Is altogether too easy on Supervis-
ing Architect Jones, under whose very
eyes all The defects in the construction
were allowed. Then, again, nothing is
said about the faulty iron columns,
which nearly every expert testified were
one of the chief causes Of the disaster.
Architect RoyingtOn, of Chicago,
called IN TO assist Jones and Koch IN
their construction of the extension, re-
ports the iron columns in the north wing
as altogether too defective and, IN ac-
cordance with bis suggestions, the build
ing has been shored up all ready to re-
move the columns. 1t is probable that
wrought iron will be substituted. Other
changes ID the specifications, particular
ly as to brick piers, will be decided on
by the commissioners tomorrow.
