boot from the use ofDay & Martins blacking
or Browns liquid dressing had given up
leather for canvas.
Why? Was it that those awful little mon
sters which add TO our woes, those wicked little
fellows that grow about ones toes, were giving
an extra twinge, hence the change.
No; nothing Of the kind. l found out all
about it later. 1t was Cricket that did it. A
pretty big club has been formed and | presume
the rush for canvas was to acquire a lightness
of movement which is necessary in the game.
The Cricket ground is quite near the town,
and l had the pleasure of witnessing the prac-
tice this afternoon, which l enjoyed very
much. I saw men of about $50 pounds
avordupois, skipping as airily and lightly as a

After the disinfection was completed 1t
became possible to make all estimate OF what
the repairs which had been thereby necessltated
would cost. On examination it was seen that
the wood work was in many places IN such BAD
condition that considerable rep}irs would have
to be undertaken before the new white. washing
could be done. This, as we'll as the nature
and extent Of the repairs generally, Will Do
seen from the Building Inspectors estimate
of which a copy will be found on the Councils
table, and wherein the expense is estimated
At ....... $4,000
The total expense thus amounts to $96S.32
which is here proposed to be granted,
The Acting Vice Governor explained that
the Rectifcation to the Pension Depart
n.ent is caused by the death Of the former
Colonial Director Privy Councillor Skrike, in
consequence of which the amount Of pension
hitherto betrayed to him has fallen away. The
amendment to the bill for the Military De:
partment is owing to the disinfection Of the
Barracks, which has caused an outlay OF
1858. 80; he would beg to refer to the remarks
attached to the Amendment, which clearly ex-
plain how the expenses have zen caused.
Honorable Members are aware that IN the
close of last year and the beginning OF this
year some cases of a malignant fever occurred
in the garrison at first the cases were not
very numerous, but at the end of February and
commencement Of March, the sickness became
more serious. and several cases OF death &C.
Cured the sickness originated in the barracks
and the military Physician recommended that
the barracks should be evacuated and dlslns
fected. AT the time there were about ~ hes
cruits, just recently arrived from Denmark,
and whose transport out had cost very con.
siderable amounts; they were young men and
not only the Administration but also the Colo
NAL Council had q great responsibility to keep
those young men from getting sick. 1t was
therefore decided to have the barracks disln'
fected as proposed in the remarks 1t Is explain
ed how it twas carried out. After the .dlslntec'
ton had been completed, it was found that the
barracks, which is an old wooden building was
in such a poor state, that considerable repairs
had to be made to the partitions, ceilings etc.
before the withdrawing could be done; this
was unavoidable. and honorable Members will
SEQ that the disinfection had cost S353.32, and
the repairing etc., S615 or altogether $968.32.
The repairs to the building are enumerated
on the Estimate from the Building Inspector,
which is before the Council. The Barracks are
now comparatively in much better order, al
though a great deal of wood work is still rotten,
but which had to remain. as otherwise we might
not he able to overcome il all. but what has
been done has been of great benefit to the men,
az the Barracks have become moro heaIthy and
more pleasant for the soldiers. The accounts
have not vet come in; but they will be open for
insuecticn Of HONORABLE Members, desiring to
make themselves acquainted herewith;-and
he would now ber to recommend the amend
ment.

resolved on the Physicians proposal, to evacu-

"a thorough disinfeotlon.
Tho measure was in its nature OF such q
lind that in order to attain its object, namely
the prevention Of an epidemic, it had to be
undertaken at once; and the reason that money

ia partly this necessity for immediate action,
partly the impossibility of stating beforehand,
even approximately, to what extent the dlsln-
lection would render repairs necessary and
what sum would be required for carrying
them out.
The disinfection was effected in the follow.

Centralia's Luck.

Richard 7. Dabney never allows the
grass to grow under his feet, and for
tunes tickle capers do not crush his
hustling propensities. Notwithstanding
that his Centralia building was destroyed
by the recent fire, he hobs up serenely
again with the determination to build a
larger and better building in that thriving
city. He owns the lot on the corner OF
Main street and Tower avenue, and to-
gether with W. T. Binkley and others of
Centralia, who own the adjoining prop
erty, will build a magnificent brick bust

The Beltsville Land and Improvement
Company are making extensive improvements
on their addition to the city of Beltsville
which is situated on high ground twelve
miles out on the main line of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. Theirland comprises three
hundred and twenty-five acres and the COM
pany has a large force of laborers at work
making streets, sidewalks, and in other ways
preparing the subdivision for settlement. A
number of lots have already been Sold and
plans for the erection of dwellings are being
prepared. The location of Beltsville is very
high and attractive. From some portions of
the ground the Washington Monument and
the Capitol can be seen.
A fact which seems destined to contribute
greatly to the growth and prosperity of this
section is the settlement one and half miles
from Beltsville of large colony of industri-
Gus Danes. Three thousand acres of land
have been purchased for them and already
seventy families, containing several hundred
people, are on their way to this country The
Danes are very desirable class of colonIsts,

ment. The report of the appraisers will, under
the act of Congress, have to be approved bv
the President before they become finally ef
1ectlye. Whether the President will take
action on them before the titles to the differ
ent pieces OF property are examined and ap-
proved or afterwards is not yet known The
examination OF the titles will first be made by
the District Attorney, in whose hands the
papers now are. Then the titles will have
TO be finally examined and approved by the
examiner of titles in the Department of JUS
tice, and when this is done the Supervising
Architects Office can at once begin to prepare
the plans for the building.
1t is not believed by officials and Others who
are familiar with the subject. that any fresh
ulIiicuitles or further delay will occur. All
is now thought to be plain sailing. 1t is not
believed that the President will have any fault
to find with the appraisement of the property
as made by the commission. 1t is agreed on
all hands that the property owners were
awarded fair prices for their holdings in the
square desired for the Post Office site, while
the Government is not asked to pay unreason-
able figures. Altogether real estate men look on
the settlement reached as one of the most salts

among the officials at the Department of Justice

RESTORING THE sHoREHAM.
The Big Job Expected to he Complete by
Septsmber.

The Big Job Expected to he Complete by
September.
The restoration of the Shoreham is going
forward with all possible speed under the i'm
mediate supervision of Architect Robert Il.
Fleming. 1t is a big and delicate undertaking,
but nothing will be left undone to make the
work complete in every particular, so that
when finished the building will be as solid as
the ingenuity of architect and builder and the
use OF the best material can make It. At first
1t was thought the house could be placed in
safe condition by merely replacing the flooring
in the halls, which gave way. But an inspection
of the floors in the chambers led to the belief
that they were decaying in spots, and it was
then determined to tear them all up and put
new flooring throughout the building. This
is now being DONE The work on the seventh
story is already complete, and it is expected to
have the entire job finished by the first of
September. The total cost is expected to be
in the neighborhood of 100000.
Not only the floors will be relaid, but all the
ceilings throughout the house will be replas-
tered and redecorated. AS there are alto
gether over two hundred rooms in the house
the magnitude of the work will be under
STOOD
In the restoration of the house Architect
Fleming will use none of the filing between
ioists, which is believed to have rotted the
woodwork and caused the falling of the
floors in the halls Mr.. Fleming does not be-
lieve in the use of this filing, and attributes
many accidents similar to that of the Shoreham
to It, In the work of reconstruction he has
employed different method to secure maxi
mum degree of strength and safety
