A TALE OF TWO TOWERS.
The Way @. Jones Got Even With a
Haughty Parsonage.


NEW YORK, Nov. 3-The magnificent
new building of the Times is so far ad-
vanced toward completion that the roof is
on and being covered with metal. There
is no other commercial building in New
York so tall as this one. l. e., not counting
towers and other adornments or disigure-
ments above the roofs. BY accurate level
ing measurement engineers have deter
mined that the top of its wall is but two
feet below that of the New York tower Of
the East river bridge. Its upper story-the
thirteenth-will be the composing room of
the paper
curious story is told as in some way
explanatory of the astonishing hight TO
which it has been thrust up into the sky.
When the Hon. o. b. Potter was about
putting up his present building, adjoin-
ing that of the Times, on the site where
his former Undertook was burned George
Jones, proprietor of the Times, went e. him
and suggested the propriety Of constructing
u party wall of great strength.
MIR. Potter is an august and naughty per-
sonage, and on this occasion was ore so
than usual. With a sort of tolerant scorn
he listened to Mr.. Jones, and replied that
he was going TO build his house in his own
way, that tue walls were going to be strong
enough TO suit him, and he propos d TO be
the judge of what they should be in view
Of the number of stories he should see fit to
order. Party wall POOH He was going
to build into the sky, and il the effect would
be t. dwarf the Times building, he did not
see how that concerned him. In short, he
snubbed Mr.. Jones, who is somewhat pep
perry person, and who thereupon resolved TO
see Mr.. Potter's two stories and go two

work. Months went by during which
people wondered a. the masses OF cart

respondent.
LAKE CITY, FLA, Oct. 2S.-Editor Morn
ing NelCS: Your correspondent from this
place reported what is absolutely untrue
concerning the director of the Florida ex-
pertinent station, as appeared in last Fri
days oct. 90 issue. He applied for posi-
ton IN tine station, and the director reported
his case as the applicant requested; but the
appointment was not made, hence, most
probably, comes the persecution. The
falsity of the statements, in part, is the
representation that the director of
the station, after refusing to
resign, cleft the state without
making any arrangement with the board
or any one under him to direct the affairs
Of the station while he was away" The
truth is that the director never deserted his
Lake City on duty for some weeks, in visi-
tation of other stations, as he had reported
to the board at an antecedeut meeting that
he intended to do, this being in accord with
what is done by the directors of other sta
tions, in view of mutual benefits in compar-
ing plans and methods of experimentation,
as practiced in the several stations. In the
meantime, such work in the station
as the order of experimentation required
was going on under the orders and pro-
visions of the director.
Your correspondent also alleges that the
director on returning demanded his posi-
ton as professor of moral philosophy,
geology and curator of the museum This
is also false. No demand was required or
made. The alluSion to the refusal of the
director to resign his position was adverted
to in way as to reflect injustice. The re-
fusal had occurred under an implied CEN
sure, for which no grounds existed, AMI no
one of any spirit would resign under CEN
sure J. KosT, Director.
