How the Departments on the First Floor
VIII be Arranged.
The meeting of Superintende mt Malone, of
the new Government building, and the
Building Committee of the Chamber of
Commerce. which had been arranged for
yesterday afternoon, did not take place, but
it will probably be held to-day. Mr.. Malone
gave DISPATCH reporter an opportunity
to examine the plans, which have just been
sent him from the department at Washing
ton, dividing the different floors into rooms
for the proposed occupancy.
The first floor will be taken up by the
postofice entirely, and the arrangements
appear to be as nearly perfect as possible.
The general postoffice department, such as
stamp windows, registered letter Office,
money order Office, etc., will be around the
center of the floor, the dimensions of the
room being 123x87 feet. All around the
corridor will be the private offices of the
officials. and each place is within easy reach
of the entrance. In each corner OF the
building will be an elevator, while the mail
wagons will have their entrance on Cherry
alley. The arrangement of the building
presents, on the whole, more facilities than
the New York Postoffice.
On the third floor will be the two court
rooms. and on the fifth floor the Signal Ser
vice Bureau is to be located.

RE-FLoORING SHARPsBURG BRIDGE.
A Double Oak Floor, Costing $4,000, Re-
places the Old Plnnking.

The Sharpsburg bridge has been solidly
re-foored with three-inch oak planking.
The job has been very slowly done, as it
was necessary to accommodate daily traffic
of iron wagons and street cars. The total
expense of the job will shade SIC, 900 very
closely. The bridge is 5000 feet in length
and the old bridge floor has been subjected
to very heavy work for upward of seven
years.
As fast as the old flooring was torn away
a course of three-inch planks was laid upon
the iron girders. A chair tie of oak was
laid on top of this for the rails of the street
railway. The top floor was then laid at
leisure. The job has taken ten men nearly
two months of continuous work and the fin
ishing touches are now being put on.

A Printers Execution.

De Thou, the famous blbliophile
and lover of fine bindings, who was
master of the royal library under
Henry ", makes mention of book
seller by the name of Martin PHom-
me, also master printer, who met
with a terrible fate for having print
ed and sold satire directed against
the Guise family, entitled 'The Royal
Tiger" For this offense L'Homme
was sentenced to be hanged his
household goods and chattels con-
fiscated, and all the copies of the de-
famatory pamphlet to be burned be-
fore his eyes prior to his execution.
1t so happened that one Robert De-
hors, u merchant of Rouen, was visit
ing Paris at this time. Seeing the
poor wretch on his way to the scaf-
fold, surrounded by bowling mob,
Dehors dismounted from his horse
and protested against the insults OF
the people: "Come, come, my friends,
isn't death enough for hint Leave
him to the executioner. Why do
you want to add to his torments? ?'
For this humane intervention Dehors
was four days later arrested, charged
with having melted the populaee to
sedition and public scandal, and con-
demned to be hanged, which sentence
was executed upon the unfortunate
merchant as we'll.
