Tho Capitol Building.

Denver Republican.
Almost one-half Of the force en-
ployed on the State Capitol building has
been dismissed during the past few days
and there arc now less than 80 men employ
ed about the premises. The approach Of
the winter and the heavy frosts recently
experienced rendered it advisable to sus-
pend the laying Of stone until next spring.
Mr.. E. E. Meyers, the architect, IL here
overlooking tho work and reports very
good progress made by tho Contractors,
Messrs. Geddis & Seerie, during the past
six months. Something over 500, 900 worth
Of work is credited to them, little OF which
Ii to be seen over the high enclosing board
fence, except the supporting walls or shell
for the massive dome. During the season
between II, 900 and q, 900 tons Of stone have
been put into the building, and the work so
far is the most substantial der seen in a
public structure in this country.
The building has now advanced to the lay
ing Of the base course for the superstructure
This consists Of granite blocks q inches in
thickness and frequently seven and eight
feet square. The rock is q hard gray
granite from quarries near Georgetown,
and many Of the blocks weigh eight tons
and cost over 5000 apiece. Heretofore the
stone has been dressed at the quarries, but
to facilitate inspection and insure better
work all stone win hereafter be cut on the
premises. The bare wall measures about
|, 800 lineal feet None Of this stone will be
laid this season, although the preparation
OF the blocks will continue during the win
ter month";.
The question whether the building is to
be constructed Of granite or sandstone will
be brought before the State Legislature
this winter, and while the more durable
stone will increase the cost Of the structure
about quarter Of million dollars, it is
generally believed that 1t will be adopted.
Finely polished granite will enter largely
into the interior finish Of the building, and
when It Is completed It promises to be the
finest capitol structure in the United
States.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Although
President Cleveland has not decided what
Avocation he will pursue after his retire
meat from the executive mansion, he has
practically determined upon his future
place Of residence. He will neither per
mancntly locate here or In Buffalo, although
he will for time, at least, retain posses-
sion Of his country place near this city.
Should he fail to go abroad, rs many of his
friends think probable, he will undoubted.
" mAke his home in Now York City, the
Mecca which is absorbing 20 many OF the
ablest minds in the country. 1t is expected
that he will connect himself ~ president
with somc Of the large trust companies
there. Such positions are dignited in their
character; they require executive ability,
such - the President il known to possess,
and the duties, 1t IL thought, would be very
congenial to him. Several Of his friends
are now arranging that he be made ton
der Of such place. Should It come to
him In proper form II will, no doubt, be
accepted.

The Rucksr-sIackburn Quarrel.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 1s.-The
Washington Kcntuckians here are growing
interested At the three-cornered contro-
versy being waged between Judge Rucker.
Senator Blackburn and Secretary Endi-
oott> Those who know Mr.. Rucker state
that he is not the man to sit down quietly
and allow any man TO call him a caricature
upon humanity for whose existence in fair
dealing the Lord owes an apology to man
kind. Mr.. Rucker is said to be quite -
much of . hre-eater as the junior Senator
from Kentucky. 1t will be remembered
that in the shooting scrape with Editor
Mumford, Of the Kansas City Times, Judge
Rucker, who was unarmed, walked up to
his assailant, and wrenched the half
emptied pistol from his grasp.
For moro than half a year Judge Rucker
was police Judge of Leadville during the
most exciting period of that city's history.
Judge Rucker will certainly call Mr..
Blackburn to account for that characterize
