mac Railroad Company, at Bolton,
while carrying a block of wood on his
shoulder about 3 o'clock yesterday

instantaneous. Deceased was an un-
married man, about twenty-five years
old, and boarded with Mr.. 4. W.
Gary, at 92l west Clay street. He had
been an employee Of the company for a
number Of years, and was a very worthy

Some Changes In the Bnlldipg Suggested

The Governor desires to have the in
terror Of the Capitol looked after more
closely, with the view Of having it kept
in a presentable shape, and he is anx-
ious to have some changes made that
will show we are keeping abreast with
the times. lie wants an elevator put
in as soon as possible, so that
rapid and easy Communication may be
had between the basement Offices and
those Of the Governor, Secretary Of the
Commonwealth. Southern Historical
Society, Library, &c. by using an
elevator all the steps on one side could
be taken away, thus giving space for
three more rooms-yiz., one in the
basement, one on the first landing,
and one on the Library floor. By
this arrangement it is thought that
some Of the outside offices in rooms
which the State is now paying
rent for can be moved into the space
thus made available, which would
save the State enough money to more
than pay for AID keep up these
improvements. The Governor woull
also do away with all the peanut
and other stands in the rotunda. AMI
have one Of the new rooms devoted 10
a neat, clean restaurant, where no
liquors should be sold, but where hot
coffee, oysters, &C., might be obtained.
BY this plan members Of the Legisla-
ture and others interested could be
saved the necessity Of going long dis
tances to refresh the inner man when
their duties detain them within the
building.
The Governor is also strong adyo-

Bishop Kecne's Reference to Sudden
Deaths.


Sunday morning Bishop Keene
preached at the Cathedral, and his
theme was THE Holy Name Of Je-
sus." He impressed upon his hearers
the beauty and grandeur Of the life Of
the Redeemer. The name of infinite
love, be said, is the name Of our Sa-
yiour, and he is leading Us from the
abyss Of darkness and evil to the
mountainous Of truth and holiness.
His name is our battle-cry of victory
over all eyil--the bugle-bast that
spurs our onward march towards our
glorious destiny. The Bishop spoke Of
how the sacred name Of Jesus had in
spiIed martyrs at the stake how it
had neryed maidens TO meet death
calmly; how it is an eyer-present
hope and blessing.
Speaking of the duty Of preparation
for the life to come, he said the report
Of death is ever ringing in our ears, and
the mornings paper had told hOg q
member of the Legislature was stricken
to death at his desk, and how the
daughter Of the Secretary of State,
when sought for to dress for the recep-
tion at the Presidents, was found TO
be in eternity.
The sermon was beautiful in diction
vigorous in thought, and full of hope
for the believer and tender pleading to
those who have not yet given theh
hearts TO God.

How costly and demoralizing to tn,

message Of President Terra to the

the deficit caused by the recent reyolu-

an internal loan for $1,000, 900. and
largely TO increase customs tariff. The
annual revenue Of the Republic is about
Sl2,OOO,OO and there Is an existing
debt Of some $50, 900, 900. so that the
deficit noted is serious matter for
the Government. Tho increase of
customs duties must diminish importa-
