A BEAUTIFUL NEW HOUSE
Designed by Architect Maish for Mr. j.
Reed Littell.j

The residence for Mr.. j. Reed Littell, now
in course of erection on street, between Six
teenth and Seventeenth streets, is a striking
example of the refined style of domestic
architecture which Architect w. j. Maish has
exhibited in some of the most attractive
houses in the city. The treatment of the
front is simple, but effectively carried out in
perfect harmony of design and material. The
first two stories are built in selected shade
of handmade red brick, trimmed with Seneca
stone lintels and sills, with an oriel projection
in the second story met by the overhanging
caves of the high, blue-slate roof The in
cline of the roof is relieved by the graceful
dormer windows of the third story On the
main floor is the entrance hall leading to
reception-room on the right and opening into
the staircase hall. This staircase hall is pro-
vided with handsome fire place, built in Pom
paeian brick and from the first landing of the
main stairway opens recess forming
balcony overlooking the dining-room. From
the rear of the dining-room is projected an
angular bay, having window seat, and to the
left is the butler's pantry. On the main sleep
Ing floor the chambers are attractively finished
with tiled fre-places, and in the front is a
large room to be finished in a delicate shade
OF gray, and having wide alcove and an oriel
projection. The woodwork of the upper
floors will be tinted to harmonic with the
prevailing color of the rooms. The bathroom
will be finished in cream-colored tiles. On
the upper floor is arranged a unique "den"
or library, having large rock-faced stone
fireplace, and the decoration and arrange
ment of this room shows complete departure
from the conventional. Large packing-rooms,
linen and cedar closets are conveniently
located. This improvement will be an at
tractive addition to the rapidly growing sec
tion between Sixteenth street and New Hamp-
shi.e avenue, in which Architect Maish has
already provided the handsome store now
owned and occupied by Messrs Theodore and
F. B. Noyes and g. B. Rheem, and 1T is to be
regretted that more residences are not erected
In that artistic and substantial style OF archi-
lecture which carries with 1t an individuality
and purity OF design never attained by over
ornamentation or the use of imitation materi-
ais. The contract for building Mr.. Littell's
residence is being carried out by Mr.. F. H.
Saunders, and 1t will be completed about
October /.

Trinidad and the Northeast.

A. j. Boyer, the well-known real estate
agent at 625 Z street, who makes a speciality
OF northeast property, states that inquiries for
property in this section are more active at
present than before in the history of the city.
He reports many sales at good prices, among
others a number of lots in the "Trinidad''
subdivision, which he considers one of the
most accessible, elevated and healthful resi-
dent localities to be found around Washing
ton. The entire Twelfth-street front of block
z was sold few days ago as an entirety at 30
cents a foot, while the corner of Twelfth and
M streets was sold at 81 foot. Two sales are
noted OF improved properties ON NJ street at
about rs cents, and other large sales of unim-
proved lots in this tract are pending. Two
pieces of unimproved ground were sold at
auction during the week--one at 55! cents
and the other at AZ cents. The half hundred
new residences recently erected in the vicin-
ity of II and Twelfth streets are rapidly
selling, and the outlook for active transac-
tions in the immediate future is encouraging.
Mr.. Boyer is enthusiastic over his pet subdi-
vision of Trinidad, and is loud in its praises
as desirable residence section. He resides
on the tract himself, and says that its advan-
tages as a suburban locality cannot be sur
passed.

THE BUILDERS BUSY.
MANY NEW ROWS AND FINE SINGLE
RESIDENCES TO BE BUILT.
Trying to Fill the Demand for Small and
Medium-Sized Dwellings-A Sure
Sign of the Healthy Growth of the
City.

The real estate market has been compare
lively dull the past week. Few transactions
OF any magnitude took place, the transfers
being mostly confined to lots for dwelling
houses and small investments. But among the
builders and architects there was much activity
and large number of building permits were
issued. None of these were for large edifices,
but they were not the less important on that
account. They were mostly for small and
medium- sized dwellings, whose construction
affords the surest indication of the steady and
healthy development of the city.
Among the permits were several for rows of
small houses. Wright & Sockett will build
six two-story bricks on G street northeast and
five similar dwellings on F street northeast.
Mrs. M. j. Hunt will build four two-story
bricks on e street southeast. A.. B. Hines
took out permits for nine two-story frame
houses at sherwood. James A. Healey got
permits for building four two story and base
ment bricks on Third street northwest Mr..
Theodore A. Harding will build three hand
some four-story brick and stone houses on
street northwest, between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth.
Mr.. Joseph Prather is having built by Con
tractor p Fersinger three three-story and
basement dwellings at Fourth and NJ streets
northwest They have fronts of brownstone
and pressed brick, circular and square bay
windows, and the roofs will be slated man
sard. The interiors will be finished in natu-
raj wood, with furnaces, speaking tubes, cleo
trio bells, and all modern comforts The
three houses will cost $4,000.
The total number of permits for new build
ings issued during the week ending on Friday
night was "a. The aggregate cost of the pro-
posed buildings was $3T9,430. The permits
were divided among the different sections of
the city as follows: Northwest, twenty-six
permits, S265,000; southwest, three, $500;
northeast, twenty-five, S5S.300; southeast
eleven, S42 300; county, twelve, $3.50.

section orNew Hampshire avenue, Seventeenth
and streets. The ground, 5Ox9O feet, was
bought few days ago and the price paid was
$1,000, or about 1913 per foot. The houses
that will improve this property will have
three stories, basement, and sub-cellar, 1sx42
feet, With base and entry porches of Hummels-
town brownstone, and pressed brick above. A
circular bay window with tower top will add
to the beauty OF the exterior, also two square
bay windows, with pediment finish, and high
slate roofs. The interiors will be finished in
oak and cherry, with cabinet mantels, open
fire-places, steam heating plant, and electrical
fixtures etc

been gloomy at night since the closing of the
Riggs House. This will not continue long
however, as Mr.. 0. G.. Staples, of Wizards
Hotel, has leased the house, and will reopen it
as first-class hotel on the American plan the

he has of the other hotels with which he has
been connected.
The Riggs House will be thoroughly re-
paired and renovated during the summer.
The office on Fifteenth street will be enlarged
and remodeled; some of the pillars will be
taken out and the entrance will be improved.
The Kitchen will be furnished with new ranges
and all modern improvements, and the store
rooms, which are at present in the basement,
will be moved to the top floor of the house.
MIR. Staples has bought that portion of the
present furniture of the house, which is in
good condition, and will retain 1t. New fur
niture Of the best kind will be purchased to
supplement this, and before the opening in
October, the house will be fitted up through
out equal to any in the country.
Among the furniture of the Riggs House
are two OF the finest and largest mirrors In
the country. They are about sixteen feet high
and nine feet wide, of the finest French
plate, and were made in Paris especially for
exhibition at the CentRnnial They are now
In position in the small parlor on the office
floor on street.

Secretary Foster in Wall Street.
NJ Y Evening World

N. 4. evening world.
When Secretary Foster was in town last
week hobnobbing with the bankers and
moneyed men OF Gotham l saw him several
times In Wall street locked arm in arm with
Solicitor Hepburn, who never let the Secre-
tary out OF his sight during his visit. 1t is
SAFE TO say that not one in a thousand in the
busy throng which crowded the streets in the
vicinity OF the Sub-Treasury recognized the
Cabinet officer, who, from his appearance,
might very well be taken for well-to-do
farmer who had casually drifted down to that
part of the city to take in the sights of its busy
life, A lossely- fitting pepper and-saltp suit,
a bFoad-brimmed straw hat, and a cotton
necktie aroused no suspicion on the part of
observers, and the Secretary was jostled and
elbowed by brokers' clerks and messenger
boys just like any other citizen who Gets

West Virgin. Snake story.

A curious snake story is reported from
Drag Camp, on the Little Kanawha river.
Two boys named Edward McCray and Geo.
Deyers were out hunting whom thoy thought
they had freed a coon, and proceeded to cut
down a large lynn tree. Instead of a coon
they found the tree filed with anakes and
snake eggs of the viper species, except that
they were brown in color and had yellow
jaws. Thev we're very vicious and attacked
the boys, who, although they succeeded in
killing about tfsy, were obliged to retreat.
They came back to the camp and reported
their find, when = party of lumbsrmen pro-
caeded to the tree and killed over GOO of the
reptiles. This ia the second time recently
that snakes in such large numbers have been
discovered in that locality, the first time
being three weeks since, when q man named
Evan McCray was attacked by them and
killed twenty before he succeeded in making
his escape. The snakes are of a kind never
before known in this section, and are said
to attack even wild animals IN sight

MURDERED 200 YEARS AGO.
A Man walled Up In ~ Spanish House
and left 10 Starve.

A Man walled Up In - Spanish House
and left 10 starve.
A strange discovery has been made At
Hermosillo. N. NJ, says n dispatch In the
St. Louis Rspubli.s, which shows that a
most horrible murder has been committed
at some period long past. One of the old
est places in the town is n large adobe
house on the southern outskirts, which is
said to be the oldest house"in the territory.
This house was built by the Spaniards when
they first came to this country, n has
bsen added to and taken from until only q
small part of the or tginal remains. This re-
manning portion consists of the central part
and was left on account of the solidity of the
walls. II was determined not long ago by
the owner TO tear down part Of this wall
and change thu shape of the building. The
workmen had made but a few blows when
they found that the apparently solid wall
was hollow. An opening WAS made large
enough to shcsy the interior, and il was
found that the cavity contained a skeleton.
An investigation showed that some man had
been chained to the wall aud left to die OF
hunger and thirst. On the wall near the
staple where the chain was attached were
the words, manuel Del Muir
~rilies.' which is supposed to have been the
name OF the unfortunate who was left to
die. There ia no possible means of de-
termining how long the body had been
there, but it must have been placed there
