Ehst HAeoE arrangement
It Is altogether probable that work on
the new post-office to be erected ON the lot
at Ninth and Shipley streets will be com
menced at an early date. Pluns and
specifications are already prepared and it
Is expected that bids for the excavations
and foundations will be asked for and the
contract for this portion of the work given
out by the first Of the new year.
Monday George II. Hollis of this city
was summoned to Washington and there
Informally rendered the appointment of
Superintendent of construction of the new
building which position he accepted. MIR.
Hollis is at present in the stove and tin
ware business at No. . East Fourth street,
but he has had considerable experience in
the building business. He served full
apprenticeship to the trade Of carpenter
In his youth and has attended to various
building contracts.
In Washington Monday Mr. Hollis had
an interview with Mr. James II. Windrim,
supervising architect Of the treasury de
partmeut, who exhibited to him the plans
and detail drawings Of the proposed new
custom house and post-oilcc in this city.
tive drawing of the proposed new building
and a copy Of the first floor plans, with in
structions to bring them to this city and
exhibit them to all citizens who saw iii to
examine them. The object Of this is to
receive criticisms and suggestions and
learn If any critical defects exist, SO that
they can be remeded at once.
During the day large number Of citi-
gems, including Col. Milo w. Locke and
other members of the Board of Trade
called at Mr. Hollis store and examined
the drawing and plans. The general run
of criticism was very favorable, and, al
though various minor alterations Weresug-
gestcd, none of any material consequence
were deemed necessary.
1t is almost certain that these plans will
be adopted without any alterations. The
public inspection ended yesterday. The
specifications and detailed plans for the
excavations and foundations it is expected
will be sent here and placed on exhibition
1t the rooms Of the Builders Exchange
within two weeks and proposals asked for
so that the contract can he awarded and
work commenced early next year.

tainments in the Opera House here
Thanksgiving night. The hall was well
filled and the entertainment was fully APP

Owing to the distance between the fodder

fortunately blowing in the opposite dircc
ton, the building was saved. The loss of
the fodder and straw will amount to CON

the storm center of attraction for one
minute last Tuesday morning. Guy
Folger was in the act of unhitching him
to start to Easley, when something tick
led him the mule) and away he broke
bounding across Main street, accompa-
MED by the cart and mail, leaving Guy
brushing the dust from his clothes. The
senior editor missed the opportunity of
his life to.conquor and tame wild mule,
which at this juncture becar entangled
in the harness and cart, and cried for
help, but the editor was not candidate
for the hospital, SO he resisted the temp
tation to suddenly become hero. Tie
frantic mule now began to use two feet
for kicking, and the other two for run
ming. He was fust making for Easley,
when met by Taylor Stewart who is not
afraid of mule. He seized him by the
nose and suddenly the mule was calm
and serene, and began to snore. His
clothing, cart, mail bag and boy were
soon restored and he hicd him away
to Easley under deep conviction and
