dition of the contract work performed on

brick. In about one-fifth of the defective
brick work was also found most serious
defects in four great pieces, supporting
heavy iron girders, and which would have
70 carry the weight of 100 tons each.
The piers are filed with rubbish for part
of their height and would have to be
taken down. An arch was also found de-
fective.
A communication from Contractors Nc
Cam and Riddell was read, in which they
expressed Il willingness to put the work in
perfect condition, and claimed TO have in
formation that George Hanks, who pointed
out the defective work to the Commission
el-s. caused two barrels of Stuffing to be
placed in a few separate places in the
walls. and intimated to some Of his fellow
workmen that he intended to profit
thereby in selling the information to the
newspapers

A number of workmen testified that Hanks
had told them that the walls were stuffed
by him, and he intended to make money

THE IDEAL SITE.
Lake Front Park Favored by the Worlds
Fair Executive Committee.

CHICAGO June 1.-THE Executive Com
mittee of the Worlds Columbian EXposi-
tion assembled last night to hear report of
the Committee on Site.
Except the Lake Front Park, the com
mttee criticised more or less all of the half
dozen localities which have been discussed
in Chicago for weeks as possible places for
the fair ground.
Garfield Park the favorite spot on the
west side of the city, was declared to be
out of the question. The Lake Front, the
Committee held was the ideal site, barring
certain legal disabilities which were in
process of adjustment More time was
asked before a final recommendation be
made. The extension of time was granted,
and then the Executive Committee listened
to representatives of the west and north
sides of the city, each opposing jackson
Park, the choice of the southern part, the
city. but agreeing that the Lake Front, en-
larged so as to take in the present outer
harbor. would be thoroughly acceptable.
BY the Lake Front is meant the open
tract bounded on the west Dy the business
center of the city, and on the east by the
waters of Lake Michigan. The idea is TO
add to this tract square mile OF territory
to be reclaimed from the lake.

THE ROUGH COUNT.
How the Machine Works in the Washing
ton Census Onice.

WASHINGTON. June 1.-THE first returns
of the new census have been received at
the Census Office. The result of the work
of the enumeratOrs in - districts in New
York CITY are in. End the Supervisor for
the District of Columbia has sent in the
returns from l3 districts of the city.
As soon as the census schedules contain
ing the returns were received at Supcrln-
tendent POrter's Office, a large force of
clerks was set to making what IS called the,
count" This is done mainly by machines
invented by Mr. Hollinth, who is the pat
entee of the large tabulating machine,
which will be used in the census work. 1t
is somewhat on the same principle as that
of the tvpe writer The keys represent
families. in accordance with the census
schedules. At the top of each schedule IS
noted the number of members in the fami-
". There are families of two. three, four,
and so on up to twenty and beyond.
The clerk in charge of a machine Will
have the schedules of certain district. As
he glanees at the first schedule. he sees that
the family enumerated contains five mem
hers. for example He touches the proper
KEY. which records one on the proper dial.
When he has finished with the schedules Of
the district. he reads of the dials, and
finds that there are so many families con-
tanning five members or ten members, as
the case may be. and the entire number in
that district is readily aScertained. This
count is then verified.
As fast as tbs returns come in, the rough
count is made, and soon after ali the re
turns are in Superintendent Porter Will be
able to announce the general results of the
census as to the total population.

THE EARTH SHOOK.
EXPLOSION OF A NITRO-GLYCERINE FACTORY
NEAR FINDLAY, OHIO.
Hundreds Of Window Lights Broken-The Shock
Reported to Have Been Felt Fully Twenty
Miles South Of the Factory
The Damage.

TOLEDO, O., June IA Findlay, Ohio,
special to the Blade says that at > 80 this
morning everybody in that city was awak
ened by tremendous shock that rocked
every building, breaking windows in many
places. II was found TO be the explosion of
the Casteel Iron Company's nitro-glycerine
works situated four miles east of the city.
\ correspondent just from the scene re
ports a hole in the ground large enough TO
take in a four-story business block, while
the factory, reduced TO kindling wood, is
scattered for mile in every direction. No
one was in or about the works, hence no
loss of life.
An idea of the force of the explosion may
be estimated when ii is said five tons OF
nitro-glycerine went up. No estimate of
the loss is yet obtainable. Specials from
all points in Northwestern Ohio show that
the shock was felt for over forty miles in
every direction and was generally attribut-
ed to All earthquake. II was distinctly
perceptible in Toledo.
