COUNCIL COMMITTEES.

The Armory Hall Question Further Dis
cu.-ed-Committcc on streets aud
Light.
The Committee on Grounds and
Buildings met yesterday evening IL the
office Of the City Engineer.
There was a quorum. aud the only
business before the committee was
whether or not the committee should
acquiesce in the action Of the board Of
officers Of the First Virginia Regiment
in refusing to allow the use Of the Ar
mory Hall for the purpose of holding a
political convention or not.
The session of the committee was
short, and they shifted the whole mat
ter upon the shoulders of the Council
by referring the report Of the board Of
officers to the Council for action.
There has been a great deal Of talk
about this matter, but the TINES cannot
state that because the Armory cannot
be secured, the delegates to the con
vention cannot be accommodated here
in first-class style.
Talking 10 an Old-time Democrat yes
terday, a TINES man agked what he
thought Of the refusal on the part OF
the board of officers.
They did exactly right. ' said no.
1--WE can accommodate the 2.OOO dele
gates. if thew come. somewhere else
easily. 1t IS poor policy 10 say that
other cities can DO this. and that we
cannot unless we have the Armory
Hall. Such talk does wrong to K CT :
mond-wrongs the honest intentions OF
the military. and will not do. '
You believe. then. that there VIII De

can give satisfaction TO all who VIII be
here on the l4th Of August. '

A Peculiar Day.

Yesterday was one of the mos
peculiar days that has visited tbi.
section for a long time. "A light
moist spread over the sky in the
morning and it increased every
hour. Here and there curtains OF
dismal fog lowered themselves
to the ground and in the afternoon
the sky became so clouded that il
seemed as if night were coming on
Smoke of the city rose just above
the chimneys and then slowly made
Its way to the earth,
During all this time there was
not breath of wind, the air seemed
IS absolutely without motion as the
iir of closed room. The dry
caves that hung by slim tenure
o the trees did not vibrate for
hours. The stiffness and the dead
less OF the atmosphere was marked
y everybody and it was regarded
S the forerunner of a eoed old
snow storm.
