lite.
From the Atlanta (Ga.) Journal.

From the atlanta tGd) Journal.
George w. Morgan has just returned
from Colorado, where he went to at end a
meeting Of the building committee of tae
Childs-Drexel home for union printers.
1t is generally known that some years
ago G. w. Childs and Anthony Drexel gave
the international Typographical Union a
check for 1000, to be used as the union
might see fit.
1t was decided to build a home for indi-
gent union printers, and by subscription
and asseg sment the amount has been in
creased to about SAP 900.
1t is believed that by the time the home
is completed it will reach $4,000.
At the last annual convention Of the In
ternational Typographical Union. held in
Atlanta, board of control, consisting of
the following well-known members of the
union, was elected:
August Donath of Washington, president
w. s. McClevy Of Indianapolis, secretary
James J. Daley of Philadelphia, treasurer
Edward 7. Plank, Indianapolis; Amos j.
Cummings, New York; William Amison,
Nashville; W. H. Parr. Toronto; ]. G..
Wood ward, Atlanta; g. W. Morgan, At
lanta; John d. Vaughn, Denver; Frank Pei
ton. Chicago; Columbus Hall, Washington,
ana William Lambert, Houston, Tex.
The board held a meeting in Chicago on
Nov. 10, 1890, and appointed building
committee to look to the location of the
home and the receiving of bids for the con-
struct,on Of .he building.
The committee consists of August Donath
of Washington, G. w. Morgan of Atlanta
and John d. Vaughn of Denver.
This committee represents the east, west
and south. The three members met at Dom
yer on March II and went to Colorado
Springs, Col.
Near this beautiful little city of 10000
people Senator McGarvey and other asso-
ciatss donated to the union eighty acres of
beautiful land for the site of the home.
The committee selected the northwest
twenty acres on which to build the home.
and it lies one mile from the center of the
city.
The contract for the building, which is to
cost $5S,000. was awarded to Thomas Hayes
and Thomas Nichols, two of the leading
western contractors.
The home is to be completed by April
l, 1899, and will be a magnificent struct-
ure.

Perry Home Journal: It is a startling
fact that nearly 800 lives were taken near
Perry on Wednesday Of last week. About
thirty-dve men armed themselves with

a field on the farm on which Mr.. g. G. Num-
lives, formerly owned by Judge A. l..

by DR.. W. E. Bum, who killed 100 bird.
several Others killed over fifty, and tn,

over $3.50 worth Of ammunition was used.
Five or six persons were slightly
wounded on hands, face, and back,
and 1t is said several were shot in
the neck. Three guns were broken. The
field had been bal ed with wheat about two
weeks before, and tie doves were there in

Naval Officers Accused Of Evading
Duties on Silks and Bric-a-Brac.

Naval Officers Accused of Hvadine
Duties on Silks and Bric-a-Brac.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-The Chronicle
states that a treasury agent visited Mare
Island navy yard last week and made cer~
tain discoveries which indicate that a large
quantity of dutiable merchandise has been
brought into thus country by several Ameri-
can war vessels, which recently returned
from Chinese stations, and that no revenue
charges were paid on it. The United States
steamer Amaka arrived a few weeks ago
and went to Mare Island without being in
spected by custom officers.
When the treasury agent visited the yard
last week 1t is claimed that he found large
quantity Of silk gowns and costly bric-a-
brao in the officers quarters of the Omaha
amounting to several thousand dollars in
value. Many of these articles were en-
closed in packages ready for shipment to
various eastern points. Il is also said that
the entire consignment has been seized by
the customs authorities and submitted to
the appraiser at this port. One silk gown,
it is claimed, has been appraised at nearly
1000. The Chronicle says some OF the
principal officers of the Omaha and one or
Cwo officers OF the Swatara, which returned
from China several months ago. are con-
cerned in the smuggling, and that action is
being taken in the matter by the navy and
treasury departments in Washington.
