A Costly Error.

From the American Architect.
An architect in Berlin has Just received q
criminal sentence on account of an error In
Judgment, by which the lives of workmen were
lost The architect in question, NJ. Hitler. had
designed hospital. with terra-cotta cornice.
The upper members Of the cornice oyerhunc
considerably, and the problem of supporting it,
which IL always serious one with projecting
members Of terra-cotta, was solved by LAYING an
iron plate on the lower portion of the cornice,
held down by bolts three feet long. placed sir
fees apart, near the back edge Of the plate, and
extending down into the backing of the cornice.
which was composed Of brickwork IA inches

portion Of the cornice, which projected rs
inches from the face of the wall, were deliv-
cred rreguiarly, and were set in place as they
arrived Apparently, this prevented tying
them properly together, for, before the cornice

the ground with it nine workmen. of whom
eight were killed. II is hard to tell, without
seeing the testimony, just how the blame was

The Closing Year.

Faster than the petals fan on windy days
From ruined roses,
Hope after hope falls nuttering, and decays.
Ere the year closes.
For little hopes. that open but 10 die,
And little pleasures,
Divide the long, sad year, that labors by
Into short measures.
Yea, let them 60 our day-lived hopes are not
The life We cherish;
Love lives, till disappointments are forgot,
And eorrowe perish.
On wthered boushs, where still the old leaf clngs
New leaves come never:
And in the heart. where hope hangs faded, springs
No new endeavor

THE BOSS sLUGGER.
A Rousing Testimonial to Sulii-
van Last Evening.

BoSToN, May 15.-An immense crowd
gathered in Music hall this evening on
the occasion of the testimonial to John
l.. Sullivan. The assemblage comprised
every class, from the newsboy to the
merchant. but the majority of those pres
ent were of the sporting fraternity, who
were intensely enthusiastic. The
preliminary set-toS were lively and
well contested, the best of them being a
three-round bout between Paddy Duffy,
of Boston, and Jack McGurty, of New
York. The crowd, however, came to
see Sullivan, and impatiently witnessed
the otherwise Interesting contests until
rumored that Godfrey, the colored
heavyweight, would stand up before
Sullivan tonight, in spite of the latter'S
denial OF the report. and many expected
to see an exhibition of their relative
merits. When Sullivan appeared ac-
companied by William DAILY, Jr., be-
tween the set-toS. the windows shook
with the applause that greeted him.
DAILY advanced to the front of the
stage and asked if Godfrey was in the
hail. Godfrey showed himself and was
invited to the stage. Daily asked him
if he would spar Sullivan, adding that
dS III was TESTIMONIAL eXulDlGlOn nt
couldn't have the whole house. Geofrey
replied that he had not come prepared
to spar, since he had not been asked to
do so, as stated in the papers. AS this
was a testimonial to Sullivan he
would prefer to wait until some
other time when he would spar
Sullivan ten rounds for $500 or 81, 900 a
side. Sullivan said he had never au-
thOriZed the announcement that he
would spar Godfrey. Phillips, his former
manager, might have done so, but he
was not responsible for anything Phil
lips might say. Henceforth he and
Phillips were quits. Phillips and HOlske
had come home with a story about the
Mitchell fight which was false and which
it was quite evident the public didn't
believe. He was willing to spar God
frey or any other man in the world.
Here the crowd became wild
and everybody looked for a fight.
Above the din the voice
of Jack Ashton was heard declaring
that he would accommodate Godfrey at
any time. He thought Godfrey was
looking for too large game in Sullivan.
The entertainment ended with four
round exhibition between Sullivan and
Ashton, the contestants wearing the
colors worn by them abroad. The re-
ceiptS are said to have been $4,000.

St Paul and Chicago played an eXcit-

Bear Lake in the presence of about 200
people, the locals winning by a score of
to Z. They had tight squeeze of it,
however, as the score stood to in
favor of the visitors at the end of the
seventh inning. The batteries were
Tuckerman and Ringo, st. Paul's new
man. and Sprague and Dugdale. Tuck
erman was very effective for the first
five innings, only one hit being made off
him. In the sixth the first three men to
WELD the willow got in a single each.
which, with passed ball and an
error at center, yielded two runs.
In the seventh Lange was pre-
scented with base, Moriarity
put in triple. Ingraham a double,
Rocks and Long singles, and Crogan a
double. which melted five earned runs,
and gave the Maroons lead of three.
They did not'score after this, however. St.
Paul began scoring in the second inning.
Reilly was presented with base, sent
TO second on wild pitch, took third on
an out and scored on 4 wild pitch. In
the fifth Tuckerman made a hit, and
Shafer knocked the ball into the
bushes at left. both men scoring. In the
eighth Carroll opened with a hit to left,
and stole second. Reilly got base on
balls, and at a signal from the man on
the coach line, he and Carroll each pur-

and MOrrisSy hit agrounder to Sprague,
who threw the ball far over Ingraham's
head, Carroll and Reilly scoring, and
MorriSsy going to third. Pickett
drove the ball to short, who
caught MorriSsy at the plate.
RingO'S double sent Pickett to
third. Tuckerman got a base on balls
and Skaters double to left brought two
men in and sent Tuckerman to third.
Siafer tried TO force in another run by
playing far off second. Tuckerman
proved not sufficiently fleet Of foot, how
ever, and was nipped at the plate. In
the ninth Carroll rounded out the score
by driving the ball into the lake. st.
Paul has won its last three games, each
of them by nine runs. Tuckerman and
Morrissy executed pretty play III the
fourth inning. Lange hit the ball to the
base line between first and second. Nor
riSSy going after it. Tuckerman ran to
the base, and the ball was sent to him
just in time to catch the runner. Pretty
catches were made by Murphy and
Long. Ringo caught fairly good game
and hit the ball hard. He is entirely
out of practice, and will do good work
as soon as he gets his hand in.' The
score follows:

MINNEAPOLIS WINS ONE.
The Milwaukee Aggregation is
DoWued in the F'IOJIT, Civ.

A couple of hundred of Minneapoli-
taus went down to the ball park yester-
day, not with the expectation of seeing
a fine game of ball, but through motives
of favoritism. The first inning was dis
astrous to each side. Person, the visit
ing twlrler, hit a couple of men on the
start and put in wild pitch These
freaks, together with three clean
hits, melted the home team
five runs. Then PheSe. the
quondam Minneapolis amateur, who
pitched the game for the home team,
started in. He, too, hit q man, gave an
other base on balls. and allowed three
hits TO be made. Three runs resulted.
After that he settled down and pitched
great ball during the rest of the game.
FersOn retired in favor of DOWN at the
end Of the fifth inning, and the change
was good one. The features of the
game were the pretty field work of
Walsh, Strauss and Cusick. and the
batting of Pettee. Brosnan made
one of his customary home runs and a
very clever piece of juggling in the
eighth inning by Kreip and Brosnan.
which resulted in the putting out of

Dies MONIES, To-, May 15.-The hard
est-fought pugilistic contest known to
have occurred in Iowa took place near
What Cheer, a mining town in Keokuk
county, Sunday, and was witnessed by
about 400 people. The contestants were
Harry Martin, champion lightweight of

known among sporting men as 1.-The
Dog" Martin weighs 1872 pounds and
Samuels 165. They fought to a finish
in skin-tight gloves in an eighteen-foot

Samuels, but the latter showed great
endurance and received terrible pun
iShment. He was carried out of the
ring at the close of the twenty-ninth
round, and was unable TO come to time
again. Martin was seconded by Frank
Owens, of North English, late champion
heavyweight of Montana, and Samuels
was seconded by Mart Twohy. champion

The HeStibuIed Train

OF the Chicago. St. Paul, Minneapolis
d Omaha railWay-"The Northwestern
line"-haS been an object of curiosity
and interest to a countless number of
people since its arrival in st. Paul and
Minneapolis, and the popular verdict in
its favor is unanimo US.
Visitors have been LAWS in their
praise of the entire train. The sleeping
cars are models of artistic and mechan-
zeal skill, and in convenience and
beauty leave nothing to be desired. The
coaches are new and handsomely deco
rated; they are fitted with high-backed
seats and have carpeted aiSleS, with no
detail omitted that might contribute to
the beauty OF the cars or the comfort of
travellers. Last night the sleeping cars
were from the Wagner shops, tonight
they are Pullman's, and it will be in
teresting to note the difference, if any.
between the two styles of sleeping cars,
both seeming to be as perfect as human
ingenuity can make them.
Every berth was taken last night, and
the number of passengers who went out
on this, the first trip of the yeStibuled
train over THE Northwestern Line''
shows how highly its enterprise and pub
lie spirit is appreciated.
Among the passengers last night were
the following: Mrs. W. Z. Ford, Mrs.
