amount of 100000 for the purpose of
erecting an armory to be used in common
by both arms of the service.
The Governor appointed three trustees
to look after and superintend its con-
struction. These were William b. Smith,
Esq, f. Cort. Williams, Esq, and Mr..
Sol. p. Kineon.
The board set to work at once, and
their labors of the past year have been
arduous in the extreme. In order to
have money sufficient to furnish the
srmory (the appropriation was barely
sufficient to complete it) one of the COM
missioners volunteered to do the work Of
secretary, thus saving the salary Of
that official and devoting 1t to the COM
pletion of the work.

NEW CITY HALL.

No city in the world of its size needs
building for city offices worse than
Cincinnati. The present edifice used by
the officials is totally unfit for the pur-
pose. The city has out-grown it, By
recent act Of the Legislature the authori-
ties were authorized to issue bonds to the
amount of 100000 for the purpose of
erecting building adapted to the needs
of the municipal government. Plans
were adopted and the work began.
The cut above shows the front eleva-
tion as approved by the trustees. Since
its adoption, however, a movement has
been started looking to the condemna-
tion of property near the original site
that would give more room for the build
ing This would cost 100000 more.
AS the increased outlay met with some
opposition from the press and people, a
bill was passed few days ago by the
general assembly referring the matter di-
rectly to the people, to be voted on at the
next election. This election occurred re-
Gently and resulted in favor of the con-
demnation, thus giving space for the
building commensurate with the city's
needs and greatness. This will afford
room for police station as well as all
other offices required, and will be
u vast improvement on the dingy and
filthy apartments that have disgraced the
Queen City for so many years.
FIRST REGIMENT ARMoRY.
Several months ago ground was broken
for the foundations of magnificent stone
structure that in the future will be the
home Of Cincinnati's military organiza-
tions. The picture above shows how it
will look when completed. For years
past the First Regiment and Second
Battery, Ohio National Guard, have been
compelled to put up with very indifferent
quarters-the former occupying an ex-
pork house and the latter slowed away
in building totally unfit for its uses.
Finally public spirit was engendered
which set the ball in motion for the
provision of an armory more in accord
ance with the merits of the military and
as just recognition of the valuable
service rendered by the citizen soldiers
during floods and riot. A bill was

But the recent ''soare' in Chicago

According to police reports the
armed ranks Of the anarchists have
increased fully 100 per cent since the
Haymarket massacre. At that time
it was known that tho armed sections
numbered $500 men fully armed and
