what Progress Is Being Mad Upon the
New Building.
The State Board of Public Works has
been at Charleston for the last few days to
examine the new State House, and ascer-
tain what progress is being made looking to
the removal of the various Offices to that
building in May. The Board took steps to
expedite matters, but it is probable that
the building will not be entirely completed
until next fall or late in the summer at
least. The Auditors and State Superinten.
dent of Free Schools Office will
be completed in time for the
removal, and things will have to be ar
ranged as well as possible for the other de-
partments. There is a great deal of work
10 be done on the building yet, but when
completed it will be much more commodi-
GUS and convenient than the structure at
this place, as experience has given our State
q good opportunity to decide rather defuite-
" what accommodations and eonVeniences
are needed. This makes the fourth State
House West Virginia has had, although she
is a very young State. This is doing quite
well for q youngster.

The awkward squad which for a week
past has been engaged in target practice at
the conspicuous mark presented By the
~blue-coated and ~brass-buttoned form OF the
Chief of Police fred another shot from
their blunderbuss yesterday, but, as usual,
it went wide of the mark. About moor His
Honor the Mayor issued orders to Captain
Smith to summon the members OF the Com
mittee on Elections, to meet at 7 o'clock
last evening, hat they might at once or
ganize and proceed to consider the Mayors
communication, referred to them at Tues
day nights meeting OF Council.
The sumn was accordingly issued to
Messrs. Farrell, Gavin, Gillelsnd, Hsrrei,
Kinney and Smith, members Of the commit
tee, and last night at the appointed hour the
Mayor, Chief OF Police and the inevitable
newspaper representatives met at police
headquarters and awaited developments. 1t
was the general impression that a quorum
of the committee would not put IN an ap,
pearance, and results showed that the pre-
diction was well founded. Mr.. GllIeland,
the Republican member, was early on hand,
and Mr.. Kinney soon put in an appearance,
but here q lull occurred, and after waiting
until after s o'clock the Mayor gave it up
and moved out, followed by the committee
men and the scribes. While out on the side
walk Mr.. Farrell was seen to 60 up stairs
and ~reconnoiter the building, but he found
no M and soou retired. Nothing was seen
of Messrs. Hsrrel, Gavin and Smith, the
other members of the committee.
The Mayor was somewhat chsgrined at
the failure of the members Of the committee
TO respond 20 his invitation, but announced
that they would be again called to meet,
probably, tomorrow evening.

\ Magnificent Altar Decoration to BE Pre-
sented to Bishop Kahn.
For the past four or five weeks Miss
Anita Legard, daughter Of Nine. Legarde,
No. 1862 Main street, has been engaged in
embroidering an altar decoration for pre-.
sentation to Bishop Kahn in time for the
Easter ceremonies. The work has just
been completed, and is one of the hanl-
soonest specimens Of needlework ever
attempted in this city, rejecting
great credit upon Miss Legarde and
her teacher, Mrs. Turner. The decoration
called, we believe, an antependium-iS
about FIVE feet by two and one-hslf, Of white
satin, deliberately and tastefully embroidered
in Kensington erewel work, the design be-
ing sprigs of vines and flowers, in natural
colors, beneath the monogram |. H. S. in
the midst of golden rays. The decoration
is to be appropriately framed, and suspend
ed in front of the altar in the Cathedral. 1t
will be on exhibition at Nine. Legards's
for a few days, and the public is invited to
call and inspect it.

POOR COMMITTEEMAN.
The IntelIigencer's Opinion of the Commit
tee on Elections.


The members of the Council Committee
Elections were feeling rather small yester
day. Two or three Of the gentlemen CON
posing it were met By q REGISTEr reporter
during the day, and, noticing a sort of a
detected and shrunken appearance, one o.
thtm was taken aside and coufdeu;ia!lY
asked the reason OF his sorrow. We'll, t,

from this: and taking O worn and tattered
copy of yesterday mornings lutelligencer
from his pocket, ne read the following:
The Committee on Elections is just such
q lopsided affair as the City Sergesnts
friends want-tive Democrats to one Repub

THAT "LOw-BROwEDn LOBBY.

"Ihe Glass of Citizens From which Porter
Smith Receives His support"
The Intelhgencer seems to be badly rat
tied over the failure Of its attack OF
Chief Smith, and is inclined to take it gu,
on the citizens," said q business man yes,
terday. IL don't think | ever sax a more
abusive or unjust article than this" he con
rinued, taking up the Intelligencer and
reading the following from its local col
umns:
This lobby, by the way, was a notable
enc. 1t filled all the space outside the bar
and flowed over into the enclosure reserved
Tor the members. 1t was q Porter Smith
lobby through and through, and tle patient
manner in which it stayed and listened
to the dresry racket over the committee
reports was worthy OF a better cause
While the Mayors communication was be-
ing read the reporter looked over the gang,
and noted its personnel. In the front
row were the ancient "Dimmykrstic
fathers from the Sixth ward, who have
always looked on Smith as "a little god on
wheels" In the middle of these stood the
middle aged and younger admires Of the
Chief, nearly all of them being South
Siders. They stood there for nearly three
mortal hours, packed in like sardines. A
majority of them were Of the low.browed,
broad mug style Of beauty, and the applause
that broke from them after the Democrats
had successfully enforced the gaglaw, dem
onstratsd clearly from what class of citizens
Porter Smith is at present receiving his
support. This lobby and its applause was
in itself a bad commentary on the present
police administration"
Now" said he, II was in the lobby last
evening, and / must say the crowd there col
lected did not strike me as being low.

The Municipal Archives in a Frightful
State of Disorder.
With the view of a~scertaining in just what
condition the records and archives OF the
city were, a REGISTER reporter yesterday
assembled to the second story of the city
building and explored the old committee
rooms wherein are stored the old documents
and books which have been in process of
accumulation since the foundation of our
municipal government. Things certainly
were in an awful mess. In the front room
the floor is Uttered a foot deep with papers
of all descriptions, covered with a quarter
of an inch of dust, wet from leakage from
the roof and widowed and decaylng.
One one side two or three boxes are filled
with books, packages of committee re-
ports, etc, while around the sides of the
room three large cases are crammed with
TOW upon row OF papers-but all dirty be-
yond description ana in a frightful state OF

is a shame that the public records of q city
like ours should be allowed to be kicked
about like so much Junk.

Harry Sturm, Captain Capitol Rink Club:
We are surprised at your explanation Of
the failure of your club to play US as agreed.
In the first place you claim ignorance Of
the time of playing the second game. Mr..
Larkin agreed on the evening Of the first
gam that the return game should be played
on last Monday, in the presence Of several
gentlemen whom we can produce as wit
nesses to what we say. We published the
fact in all the papers during the week, and
that morning, learning you were not coming,
our manager, Mr.. Clouston, and an
other gentleman, called on
o in person and asked
you if you intended to play US and you as
sured him that you would have the boys at
our rink by $50 that evening. All the
above we can bring witnesses to prove, and
you know it. As Messrs. Lsrkin& Hand
Ian having anything to do with this, l have
to say, they used usas an attraction and it
was due the managers ofthe Island rink that
they should see to it that the return game
was played at the time named. As whole,
we consider that YOU and your club have
PLAYED the booty act, and would say that
the public are pretty generally on to you.

glass, making one Of the most attractive
fronts in the city. These handsome i'm
p1oyements do not end here but eXtend
throughout the whole building. Elegant
glass chandeliers and walnut counters have
been put in on the first floor, and seats have
been placed at intervals for the accommo
6ation of customers. This is the largest
establishment of the kind in the State, and
always keeps on hand a stock Of the finest

To the Editor OF he Register.
Times change and we change with them.
The admission on yesterday OF several col
ored pupils from the colored school in this
city, to the grammar department Of the
Fourth ward public school, was an event so
little unexpected as scarcely 10 have pro.
voked comment. Time was when some of
US remember that such action on the part Of
our school authorities would have called
down the concentrated wrath of an outraged
and indignant people. Whether our school
commissioners are to be congratulated re-
mains to be seen. To many minds,
which still cling to some of their old
fashionable notions on this subject, the
opening of our public schools to the children
of black and white Unfortunately, would
seem to be Of very doubtful expediency or
prcpiiety. Ample provision is made by
our laws for the separate schooling of the
two races, and it is respectfully suggested
that it is sometimes well enough ito let
well enough alone" Poor WHITE.
