IMMENSE ORDER FOR SIDEWALK.
To Be Laid i'm Brooklyn.

The Fremont Milling Company yester-
day received an order from J. A. Moore
for one mile of sidewalk to be laid in
Brooklyn Immediately.
This is by far the biggest order for side
walk that has been placed by one locality
for some time. This sidewalk will be
placed on the streets that are now being
grubbed and graded.
Lots in this addition are selling very
rapidly, as people are anxious to get in
ahead of the improvements and thus take
advantage of the increase in value. Don't
delay, but see J. A. Moore, los Columbia

Injunctions against railroads have be-

The Roofs of the Capitol.

To the Editor OF tie Dispdtch:
What about them, and why roofs IN
stead Of roof Of the Capitol?
Generally roofs are prosaic, matter-of-
fact things, but very useful, proyldsd
they keep the rain out; nevertheless,
there is something interesting about the
roofs OF our Capitol.
Originally the roof OF the Capitol was
not as it is at present with its imposing
pediment but was flat and covered with
lead. This roof listed till the war OF
1912, when the need Of lead for bullets
caused its removal.
Next followed O shingle-roof, but it
was then, of course, necessary to give q
much greater slope thereto, and thus it
came about that we have the present roof
with its impressive pedlment and hand
some Grecian cornice.
The shingle-roof was in time replaced
by slate and the slate in time by copper.
The old slate, if mistake not, was pur-
chased by Mr.. James Thomas.
The copper roof would probably have
remained forever had not the necessities
OF war again interfered with it's quiet and
useful repose, the necessity being the de-
mand for copper for musket-caps and
other war-ike paraphernalia. The cop
per was succeeded by the more humble
tin roof, put on by the Bargsmins, and
has remained undisturbed to this day.
1t is seldom if ever that 80 many and
such different roofs have in so short o
time covered the same building, and
perhaps never before has war been the
cause of 80 many of these changes.
When we look at our stately Capitol, the
imperfect copy of a perfect temple, few
are aware that lead, shingles, slate, cop
per, and tin each has in turn protected
the heads of our sapient legislators
SESEX.
The writer is mistaken as to the cop
per roof. II was not removed until 1866
or 1867, when it was replaced with tin by
Mr.. John Bowers and the Messra Bar
gamin.
As to the lead roof We are not in
formed.

Is some compensation in the fact that O
modern house is to be reared in their
stead, with all the concomitants that are
necessary to meet the demands OF the
new civilization and new order of life
that has been forced upon tho South.
1t is pleasant to note the development
OF the architectural germ-one Of the
last TO follow in the train OF the late
wars results, the last, no doubt, on ac-
count Of the poverty of our section. The
rivalry now existing among southern
cities rs to the architecture that shall
characterize them indicates culture IN
q direction that has heretofore been ig-
nored. As there is no limit in the arts
of music, poetry, etc, just 80 there is no
limit to tho art We may show in build
ing houses.
1t is not every man who can build o
house, although he may have been the
architect OF a fortune reaching into the
millions; nor is every man who can mus
ter Ratchet and saw carpenter. Train
ing, education, and culture are the re-
quisites. Virginia now has agricultural
and manual schools. but nowhere in the
colleges and higher seats of learning in
this Commonwealth is there chair of
architecture. Hero is the opportunity
for some college to signalize itself by
the establishment of such school that
will be of the most practical use to us,
and Richmond College being nearest to
this city should be the patron and mo-
Their OF the school OK architecture.

A School OF Architecture.

To he Editor of he Dispatch:
The science OF architecture has not
kept pace in the South with the abstract
sciences. The South has produced per-
haps the greatest men Of the continent
in the arts Of war, politics, and the ply.
steal sciences-the most difficult OF all
arts. SO far as architectural pretenslons
are concerned, the southern people have
as good as lived out of doors.
1t is true that in the cotton States,
where resided the largest slaye-owners,
notably in Georgia and particularly IN
Athens OF that State, classic style OF
architecture was initiated by the cotton
kings, many OF whom owned slaves by
the hundreds. These lords OF thousand
hills and of as many vassals IN those
days constituted the European travellers
instead OF the modern merchant-prince.
Most of them having seen Europe, came
back with enlarged views and with the
patrician's culture and love OF the fine
arts. which knowledge upon their return
home they put to use in the erection OF
solemn and grand-looking collonaded
houses-that seemed to be all poxtico
without much house.
This extreme of architecture took the
place OF houses that seemed hitherto to
have been built to suit the large chin.

Yet this affected Roman type OF houses

fBytelegr auh to the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, ID. c., October 31.-The
Census Bureau to-day issued prelimi-
nary report on the production OF steel
in the United States during the year
ended June 80, 1890, prepared by Or.
William NJ. Sweet, special agent, under
the direction of Frank Il. Williams, ex-
pert special agent of the Division OF
Manufactures The report shows that
the total production of steel IN the
United States during the year ended
June 80. 1890. was 4,466, 926 tons OF
1900 pounds, as compared with ], l45, ~
tons produced during the year ended
Nav 81, lSS0-an increase of 3,32l, 30
tons or $50 per cent. 1000
In the ten years from 1850 TO 1871 the
production of Bessemer steel ingots and
direct castings has increased from 1885,
POS tons to 3,7SS,572 tons; Of open
hearth steel, from "a, 302 tons TO 504. 35l
tons. and of crucible-steel, from 76,2Ol
tous to 80, $50 tons. No Clapp-Griiliths
or Robert Bessemer steel was made IN
the census year 1880, as there were no
works in existence in this country at
that time. During the year ended June
