Cold SuaD.

Day before yesterday one or two inches
Of snow fell, and with 1t came the coolest
weather OF the winter. Yesterday morn
ing at sunrise the thermometer was down
to six and eight degrees in the city, accord
ing 10 locality. At Granite. on the Dan
vile road, in Chesterfield county, a high
and rather exposed place, the thermometer
was two degrees below zero.
Throughout yesterday the freezing wea-
ther continued, and the clotbiers, who have
so far had but light demand for their
goods. enjoyed something Of rush. The
call for overcoats and gloves was good;
overshoes also sold quite rapidly, for the
streets were slippery, particularly at places
where the clearing Of the sidewalks had
been half done.
The rural roads are in very fair condi.
ton. and this cold snap will not stop our
country cousins from coming here for
Christmas purchases. unless, indeed, the
prospect Of an ice harvest overshadows the
temptations OF Christmas-shopping.

soon extended itself TO the furniture fac.
tory OF Mr.. Preston Belvin In rear oil Watt

caused the blaze TO burst into great bril-
iiancy, the light OF which could be seen all
over the city.
The Fire Department responded prompt
ly, and worked actively in their efforts to
subdue the flames, but they did not arrive
IN time to prevent the ire from taking hold
OF Belvin's factory. II this had been pre-
vented the fire would not have been so OBJ
stinate. As IL was, the blaze became
very fierce, and the tremen had tough work.
ii was very cold, and the spray from the
water.streams froze upon the garments OF
the hremeD, and made the streets icy and
slippery. From Belvin's factory the fire
communicated to the stables occupied by
Thomas Duke, on Franklin street, but Mr..
Duke took the precaution to remove all the
horses, and even his provender. Con-
sequently the only loss here was that
resulting from the burning OF the building.
The horses in the stable were carried out
and quartered In other stables. At one
time 1t was thought that the stables owned
by Mr.. John b. Davis would be devoured
by the fiery element, as well as the large
canning establishment belonging 10 Mr.

The blaze attracted great crowd, and It
was past midnight before the fire was put

THE NEW CITY HALL.
QUESTIONS FOR THE COUNCIL.

Shall the Hail be Built OF sasdsssne, o.
Shall the Appropriation or $500 700 be In
creased.
The report Of the Committee on Grounds
and Buildings submitted TO the Council a
few days ago recommends that the CON-
mittee bave power To advertise "for the
erection Of the City Hall. substituting the
Ohio sandstone for granite for all eleva-
tons above the water-table Of the first sto-
nv, granite to constitute the material up to
said water.table."
This report was laid on the table, the
Council no doubt being willing to have
the opinions Of the people before act
ing.
II Is clear that to build the City Hall with
100000, either the Myers plan must be
sbandoned or the building must be erected
OF sandstone on granite basement. walls.
The objection TO dropping the Myers
plan Is that. u ls an architectural success,
and IFS arrangement OF Offices meets all the
requirements. II Is scarcely hoped that
any other plan will equal II In these re-
spects.
As TO the sandstone, while II Is no doubt
good building material, Mr.. Wilson, who
represented the sandstone companies be-
fore the committee, never claimed that Il
was as good as granite. 1t is cheaper cer-
tainly. To use it here In our chief public
building will be TO advertise that fact to
the disadvantage OF our granite. In the
committee meeting there seemed to be lit.
tie sentiment In favor OF the use OF sand
stone. but the report goes to show now
that the idea is, at least, entertained.
So the Council will soon be forced 10
decide whether they will use sandstone
above a granite basement, or will vote
$4,000 more 10 build the hall according to
the modified plan, or 100000 to build it
according to the original plan.
In the first place, there Is no absolute as
surance that 100000 win build 1t Of sand.
stone. MIR. Wilson spoke IN very general
terms on this point. He said the SUN
would not "much " exceed $4,000
As TO the modified plan, it seems to meet
the approval OF Colonel Cutshaw, and
would give us very handsome granite
building OF the general style, but richer In
fermentation and OF stone OF a higher
grade than the Seventh-Street Christian
church.
For s4OO, ,COO-s1O0,O 900 more than the
committee now have in hand-the city can
have a still richer granite building; have
one with far more cut-stone ornamentation
than for s350,000.
What will the City Council do? What
do the people wish! Precious time is be-
ing lost. and action ought to be fastened.
1t is great pity that the winter, when so
much Of the work Of preparation could be
done, is to be lost. Early action is needed.
Sooner or later the City Council will have
TO pass upon all the questions presented,
and doubtless as soon as they hear the
opinions OF their constituents they will be
prepared to take up and discuss the re-
rOrt.
