THE FUTURE CITY BUILDING.
The Need. Q, the State House Dulldlns /,
This City.

The matter Of repairing the State House
building in this city, which has beer
broached in several shapes in the Legisla.
ture, has aroused good deal of interest.
A joint committee OF the two honses was
appointed to examine the building and re.
port what 1t needed in the way OF repairs,
and what the probable cost OF putting ii
in repair would be.
Janitor Sam Voltzcan give the committee
some valuable pointers. He has bemoan.
ed the dilapidated condition OF the Capi.
tol for 10! these many days,
Before this committee was appointed
in fact as early in the session as possible
Senator Scott, Republican, introduced a
bill TO appropriate $4,000 to repair the
building. 1t was then said that Colonel
White, Democrat, had bill ready to
present in the House appropriating 5000
for the same purpose, Janitor Voltz says
5000 would not hire the lumber to build
the scaGolding required. But Col. White
changed the sum IL, his bill to $4,000,
and shot 1t in a day or two after Senator
SCOTS.
Members from the interior Of the State
who are disposed to be fair in the matter
say these two bills will greatly hinder
each other. They think Senator Scott's
might go through, but the sum asked by
Col. White is too large.

\ Bosros, Jan. 23.-John L. Sullivan be-
came engaged in free fight in an Elliott
street bar room last night, where he had
been drinking with companions
most OF the afternoon. Sullivan
was offended at man named Hodgkins,
whose opinion Of pugilistic matters differed
from his own. Alter some words Sullivan
caught Hodgkins by both arms and with
his head struck him between the eyes.
Another OF the party named Deliere, at
this point swore at Sullivan, and said he
vas no man. Releasing Hodgkins from

rage and liquor, struck Deliere, fell
ing him senseless. Friends of the latter
interfeIed and the fight became general.
The bartender, named Mcguire, then
drew revolver. This, and the arrival OF
adetail Of eight officers from the station
restored quiet, but not until all present

Judge Guthrie, Of the Kanawha Judicial
Circuit, already mentioned at length in
the 1STRL1loENcER, were yesterday brought
70 the cityand placed in the hands Of Capt.
Il. q. McWhorter, OF Charleston, one Of
the members OF the House OF Delegates
from Kanawba county. The charges are
voluminous and specific. There are two
general counts-pesonal immortality and
official misconduct, aud under these there
are fourteen specifications giving the char
acter and the time and place OF the Of
fenses.
Capt. ATcNhorter told an ISTEL1i-
oEScRR reporter last night that he had
dot yet decided when he would present
the charges to the House, or, indeed,
whether he would present them at all.
They were placed In his hands but yester-
day by Df. Carr, Of Charleston, and
he had not had time to examine them.
A sort OF informal caucus was held last
night, composed OF several OF the Dele
gates from counties in the Judicial Cir
cult presided over by Judge Guthrie, to
consider what course they should pursue
in the matter. The charges will not at
least be presented to the House for sew

THE NATIONAL BANKS MUST GO.
Senator Mcrherson Thinks That to be the
watehword of tho Democracy.

HhtchWoFu OF tno democracy.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. Ex-senator
Mcpherson regards the recent failure Of
his bill in the House toauthorize National
banks to issue circulation equal 10 the
par value OF their bonds deposited in the
Treasury, as the end OF all such legislation
by this Congress. He thinks the defeat
OF the bill is an Indication that the National
banks are not wanted by the House as a
factor OF National circulation. Senator Nc
Pherson also thinks that the failure OF the
present Congress to enact legislation
OF some kind to provide against
the contraction Of the currency
which must result from the retire
ment OF National bank currency will be
source OF embarrassment to the coming adj
ministration OF the treasury. He sup
poses the contraction will have TO be met
by the further issuance OF silver certif-
Gates, which may eventually force the pay
mcnt OF government obligations in silver.
He says that four-tifths Of the customs re-
ceipts are being paid in silver certificates,
while the government must meet its Obli-
cations in gold. The Mcpherson bill
would have enabled National banks TO in
crease the aggregate Of their circulation by
about S23, 100000 moreof currency which
Is cxclangeablc for gold, and would, there
fore, have given relief TO that extent.

erent to President Cleveland.
NEw YORK, Jan. 2s.-It is stated here
to-day that Governor Cleveland will come
to New. York early in February and re-
main at the Fifth Avenue Hotel for two
or three weeks to consult with prominent
Democratic statesmen and politicians who
will be summoned for conference over the
formation Of the Cabinet. This programme
vas arranged between Cleveland, German
and Whitney. When they met in Albany
last month Whitney extended Cleveland
an invitation to his 100000 Fifth Avenue
home, which the President-elect partially
decided to accept. On mature considera-
tion he decided TO go to the Fifth Avenue
Hotel where he can be more accessible TO
his anticipated visitors. 1t would have
created a jealous feeling against Whitney
for Cleveland to become his guest and
would have advertised too prominently
his relations to the coal oil crowd.
tStokes OF the Hoffman House is in a
rage because Cleveland has decided to 90
to the Fifth Avenue. The Hoffman was
the Democratic quarters and is better
place for bachelors than married men,
and Cleveland goes to the family hotel in
preference. .
~ ls said here to-day that Bayard can
have the Treasury il be insists on it, and
that Whitney must take some other place.
Whitney's friends report him as being in
different to a Cabinet place. They say he
the honor it would be TO
young man, and one not prominent in
public affairs 10 be elevated TO such posi-
tion; but he has counted the cost Of enter
tanning at Washington, OF fitting up resi-
dence there, of bringing his aristocratic
family into a position where it must be at
the beck sof the Democratic rabble. and,
last Of all, ,sot taking the President himself
into society in which he is unacquainted.
When these things are considered Whit
ney is at a loss to know whether he wants
q minor Cabinet place or not. II is ad.
mitted that lie can have it Il he desires.

ALLEGHENY, Pa, Jan. 23.-The Allie

morning by an alarm OF fire from box 80.
The upper part Of the dwelling No. 200
Laeock street was blazing !furiously when
the department reached the place, and
to get at the fire considerable part Of
the roof had to be cut away. The fire
was confined to q stairway leading to the
attic. The FIRE was extihguished in short
time, but not before the stairway and the
flooring around II had been entirely de.
stroyed. A trunk and all the clothing be-
longing to a hoarder, which was IN the
attic, was burned. Another. boarder at
tempted 70 get his trunk down stairs, but
fell head dl6ngt TO the bottom oil the stairway,
the trunk tumbling on him and injuring
him painfully. The scene was very excit-
ingwhenthe firehroke out. Thelady board

building Several OF the male boarders
ran ont In their stocking feet, and after
standing around for awhile were surprised
to find their feet frozen to the pavement.

A SHOT IN rue DARK.

~ Newark, o.

Newark, o.
NEWARK, Jan. pa mysterious shoot
ing affair occurred here last evening
which will result in the. death OF the
wounded boy. Rees r. Jones, Township
Treasurer and salesman in the clothing
lonse Of Dan S. Anbach, boards with q
widowed sister, Mrs. Maggie Jones, on.
Granville street, about half mile west OF
tho Court House. 1t is his usual custom
to ride home in q buggy aud to put the
horse in the barn. As customary he rode
up last night, leaving the horse standing
outside while he went into the house,.
His sister'a son, Master Tommy Jones,
aged about l2 years, came out 10 put the
animal iu the barn. 1t was very dark and
he carried a lantern. The lad proceeded
to the barn and had Just stepped inside
the doors and set the lantern down, when
he saw a mans arm reaching round the
open door. A pistol was in the mans
hand. Before the boy could escape a shot
was fired. The lad shouted and assistance
came 10 him from the house. lie had fal-
len but was carried into the house, and a
physician was ut once summoned.
An examination was made. and it was
found that the ball penetrated the stom-
ach. 1t was probed for but could not be
reached. The physician stated to-day
that the boy could not survive. It is a
most unproYoked murder and is shroudod
in the deepest mystery. What object a
person could have in committing such a
d .ed cannot be accounted for. The sup
position is, however, that some villain,
knowing Mr.. Jones' doings, and thinking
he might be possessed OF money, sought
his life to obtain 1t. In this case the lad
was made the victim by mistake. The
boy was conscious enough to tell about
seeing the hand and revolver by the re-
Election from the lantern, but could give
no further information. The police have
been notified and every effort will be
made to bring the assassin to Justice.
