The commissioners thought they would
settle the question by inviting a number of
prominent citizens to confer with them A
meeting was held, and it was decided to
solicit competitive plans. The plans were
submitted, but none suited the committed
With the consent of the competitors, the
competitive scheme was abandoned
and the joint committee adjourned
sine die The commissioners next
appointed committee consisting Of three
from their own body, with the judges of
the superior and the city courts, with au-
thoritY to employ an architect to prepare
plans. The committee engaged Mr.. w. G.
Preston, who prepared the plans for the
building now in course of construction.
In the meanwhile, however, the question
of how to get the funds to pay for the pro-
posed building came up, and it was decided
to ask the people to allow the county com
missioners to issue $780, 900 in bonds. The
question was submitted to vote and the
authority granted.
With the plans in shape, and the means
wherewith to provide the money to pay for
new court house, the commissioners, on
Feb. 4 last, advertised for proposals to erect
the building, and on April 10 the bids were
opened. There was some delay in awarding
the contract, but it was finally given to
Messrs. Miles G Bradt of Atlanta.
The illustration in the MORNING NEWS of
to-day gives a correct idea Of the general
outlines of the building. 1t is handsome,
substantial edlfice Of what may be termed
the composite style of architecture, com
bining the best features Of the several
orders
1t IS three stories in hight, on a basement,
the third or meZzanine story, covering only
the center of the building. The cupola is on
the northwest or Bull and President streets
corner. The Dimensions of the building
are about IS feet 6 inches, running north
and south, by 1877 feet, running east and
west. Owing to the lot not being perfect
parallelogrem, there is slight difference in
this measurement.

For quarter of century or more the
grand juries have devoted a great deal of
eoolscap to reports calling attention to the
condition of the county jail and the county
court house. The Jail complaints were
Quoted about two years ago by the cree
ton of a new building. There was con-
siderable opposition to placing it where it
is, but the county commissioners, after
much tribulation, succeeded in their
laudable efforts, and the new
Jail was built. After building the
Jail the members of that body turned their
attention to the court house question, and
that, too, was settled in due course of
time. What grand juries will fiud here
after to write about is scarcely surmisable;
but it will probably not be about the Jail
or the court house. AS far as they are con-
cerned, "Othello's occupation is gomez
The new court house, however, despite
the presentments of grand juries, was not
begun without the protests of directors. In
fact new court house ould have been built
years ago, had it not been for certain influ.
entail parties who thought the old court
house could be made to answer by
remodeling it, and. others, who
wanted a new building, wished it to be
built on another site. The county commits
sioners tried to please everybody. They
looked over plans and estimates for remod-
cling the old building, and after a heated
election, in which it was supposed
that the question as TO whether or not
the court house should be erected in
the old cemetery was decided,
it was discovered that the victory was
not worth the fight Finally the commits
sloners arrived at the conclusion that the
only way open to them was to build ON the
site that had been used from time immemo-
rial for that purpose, and they set to work
to get plans. Then the question of remod-
cling the old building came up again.

The building may be said to be of Savan-
nah brick faced with Perth Amboy brick
OF light buff color The nodded urick
and the terra Gotta work is of the same
color. The mortar is of the same color as
the bricks except around the windows, at
corners of building and the tower and
arches, where the mortar is colored red.
The three entrances have wall stringers of
fine hammered granite, and the base courses
are of the same material. The sills and
lintels are of dark buff Amherst sand
stone. The steeple or roof to cupola is to
be Of iron, and the entire roof is to be of
slate. Eight flights of iron stairways will
afford access to the several stories. The
corridors and principal rooms will have
marble dados There will be no wood
lathing in the building, and all work, inside
and out, will be done in the best manner.
Ample accommodations are provided for all
county officers, and immense fire and burglar
proof rooms will afford protection to the
county records.
Next to the state capitol in Atlanta, it
will be the finest public building in Georgia.
The contractors estimate for their work
is 1927, 900. This a mount includes certain
additions, providing for the protection of
the building against fire, which were not in
the original contract.
In addition to the amount stated, there is
$4,000 worth of material to be furnished by
the county, which does not include the
heating and ventilating apparatus, or the
side walls, which will cost about $4,000
more, nor does it include the furnishing
Of the building, which will
cost about 5000, making the total ex-
penditures for providing the people with
the facilities for dispensing and securing
justice about 1885, 900. There are some de-
auctions to be made for old material used
by the contractors, and there may be de-
duction made in the estimated cost of
furnishing the building, by which the ex-
pense will be kept within $l5000O. The
! building is to be ready by Aug. / 1890.

Died O Queer Death.

Now York dispatch: In the death
OF William Koch last Friday at his
residence. 455 First avenue, from a
disease whose rarity is well known,
some interest has been aroused among
members Of the medical profession.
The disease was due to the growth in
the liver, in the present instance, OF a
fungus or germ termed actinomycis, u
fine. high-colored sandlike substance,
which grows with astonishing rapid
ity, developing millions OF the germs
in short time. The disease Is ex-
tremely rare and is peculiar to cattle
and swine.
Koch began to complain OF soreness
over the right region OF the liver last
February and examination by leading
physicians revealed very peculiar sand
like pellets in the pus drained from the
wound. These were revealed by the
microscope to be true actinomyces and
consisted of round. fine, thread-like
fibers, Dubbed at the ends and radiating
from common center. Several ope-
rations were performed, but pyemia
setin, pneumonia followed, and the
patient died. An autopsy to-day
showed that the rayages of the fungi
we're astonishing. They appeared to
have, first attacked the large inter
nure.. then TO have worked through
the gall duct into the liver, and so
strongly did they work on this org an
that its whole left lobe was gangrened
and studded with myriads OF the fungi.
The liver was abnormally enlarged to
nine and one-half pounds. 1t is
thought that the dead man swallowed
the fungi while eating.
Koch was the son of Andrew Koch,
the wealthy weiss-becr brewer. Only
four cases of the kind have oc CURED in
the United States in 100 years.
