Why a $4,000 School Building
Will Come Near Costing
Double That.
The Contractors Have q Word to
Say In Their Own De-
fonse.
And an Indignant Taxpayer newAiIs-An
Exciting Session of the Trastees
Over Steam Heating.

The question which ia now agitRtinR the
public, and the taxpayer especially, il as to
who shall be blamed for making a $63, 600
high school building cost nearly 100000
before it is finished, with a strong proba-
bility that it will double the original ssti-
mate by the time it ia ready for occupancy.
Changes in the original plans have already
ontailed an additional cost of $23, 600.
which amount has been allowed. Now. the
Ssntractors claim over $23,O0 0 for extras.
The school trustees are not disposed to al
low over a few hundred dollars of this. The
contractors claim they must pay it all.
They say the changes were made and they
propose to have the money. The trustees say
that there ia q clause in the contract THAI
all changes made in the original plans
must be agreed to bv the board and a
price agreed on. This. they say, was not
don in regard to the items in the second
and unpaid bill of extras. The largest item
in this bill, some ST., 500 for changing the
character OF the stone work, they simply
laugh at. Other builders, who have seen
the original plans and the work as it now
stands, say they would nave figured on
doing just hat kind Of stone work after OK
aiming the plans. The contractors lay
the blame on the many changes in the
plans. The board say they have already
allowed for extras all that was called for by
the changes authorized. As to why
the changes were necessary in the
first place, the architeot's explana-
ton was given some time ago.
The extra cost of foundation wal due to
having to 20 deeper to secure a solid basis
to build on. The roof had to be changed
from shingle to slate because the law for
bid shingles. The changes in the roof
plans were due to the fact that it was de-
cided, after the building waa started, to
utilize ths upper story. Why all these
things were not foressen has not been ex-
planned.
This trustees. the contractors and the
architect 10 not seem to be pulling to-
gether.
The building is under roof and must be
completed to give the people some return
for the outlay.
In the language of William Marcy Tweed,
"What are you going to do about it?'
All the people ask is that the building be
finished without any more unnecessary
outlay,

NEW YORK, June Ill James Ken
NEEDY, a patient at Bellevue Hospital. is
not shamming, he is suffering from a
malady to which the doctors have not
been able to give a name. Kennedy was
taken from the Tombs to the hospital
Saturday morning in a comatose state.
He looked like a dead man; but DR.. Tow
%lerton, who examined him. found that
the heart was beating all right. The res
p~iration was very faint, but regular, aud
the skin was of normal temperature. DIR.
Towlerton would certainly have thought
from the symptoms that there was m
thing serious the matter with the patient
but Kennedy Is an old offender, aud the
toctur was not fooled, as lie was the first
time Kennedy appeared at the hospital.
about two weeks ago. Kennedy was ar
rested on May 2Sth and locked up at the
tombs for assaulting his daughter. He
was found unconscious in his cell the next
morning, and Warden FallOn had hun re
moved to Bellevue. DR.. Towlerton and
his assistants labnred over Kennedy for
ten hours and he still remained uncon-
scious. He was placed alternately in hot
and cold water, and a powerful current of
electricity was passed through his body.
The electricity caused the muscles to
witch and Jerk, but when the battery was
stopped the body became rlgi6. The
flesh was pinched, the arms and legs were
twisted and needles were stuck into dit
ferent parts of the body, but Kennedy did

New YoRK, June Is -Jcre Dunn, the
referee in the Sl4viu- Kilrain glove con
test, rendered a formal decision tonight.
He awards the fight to Slavin, but de-
clared that KIlrain was not knocked out.
Bets that the contest would not last ten
rounds are won, because the winner Is de-
clared after less than nine rounds have
been contested, Dunn says that Time
keeper DAILY Eiadc an unfortunate mistake
after the gong got out of order by not
calling out the seconds that elapsed while
kilrain was down. He then states that he
considers himself equally at fault in not
keeping his eyes toward the center of the
ring at that time in order to see for him
He explains the fact that his back
was towards Kilrain by saying
that he ieit it his duty. on account of
S%lavin's method ot fighting. to watch the
Australian to prevent him from %iouling.
Dunn states that Slaviu always showed a
desire to 70 in aud slug Kilrain the instant
he arose from falling down. Dunn puts
himself on record a. being against such
tactics and says he would have
decided against Slavins had he
committed that act in the ninth.
This evening, in a hotel, Slauin and
Mitchell, who seemed to nave been drink
ing, made a good deal Of noise and intim-
ated in a roundabout way to Jerc Dunn
that he had been afraid to decide that
kilraIn was knocked out because his
(Dunn's) friends bet against that result.
Dunn replied that if lie only got a bad
reputation from such people as the men
who were talking, his character would

not show the slightest sign OF pain. The
tests were hard enough TO make the
strongest man give in, but even when
kennedy's eye lids we're opened, and the
doctor rubbed his tioger upon the eye ball
the patient did not vince.
Although the coma was nearly perfect,
DR.. Towlerton believed that it was affected
and gay the patient a powerful emetic.
The drug did its work beautifully and
inside of ten minutes the patient was in
full possession of his senses. He was
taken back to the Tombs. Inside of a
week he went through the same per
Torrance and got another dose of tartar
emetic at BellevIew, which acted like a
charm. He was returned to the hospital
for the third time and was given a dose
hat he will not forget for several DAYS.
Each time the patient has been taken to
the hospital the coma has been more
natural. He was not in 4 comatose state
yesterday, but was very near it. This was
from tartar emetic and crotOn oil, aud the
doctors at Bellevue seemed to enjoy the
joke.
DR.. rOwlcrton says that Kennedy
intellect is weak, but he has shown the
strongest nerve OF any one that he ever
saw. The doctor as sure that he is play
ing sick in the hope that be will be taken
to some place where he will have a chance
to escape. At Bellevue he Is locked up
in the prisoners cage. with a policeman
sitting at the door. DIR. Chettwood. the
physician at the Tombs, does not think
Kennedy is shamming, and he has so re.
ported TO Warden Fallon.

WASHINGTON. June ls.-It Is said
that the %treasurer's statement to be issued
tomorrow will show a deficiency of 5000,
900 instead Of the usual net cash balance.
This is the first time this has occurred
since the present form of statement was
adopted by Treasurer Jordan. In max
ing this calculation, however, no account
is taken OF the $4,000, 600 on deposit in
the national banks and the 500, DOC, 900
fractional silver in the treasury. The ex-
pendItures so far this month have been
IS, 1888. S24 in excess OF the entire reve
nues OF the government during the same
period. amounting to SIS, 22t, S52. These
were exceeded by pension payments alone,
which amounted to SIS, 3l2, 1856. Treas
ury officials say the expenditures during
the remainder oil the month will be light
and the receipts will be sufficiently heavy
to overcome the present excess of expeud
itures and leave a small surplus for the
month. These same officials say the
treasurer 5 statement tomorrow will not
include the receipts during the past two
days, and if it did an actual surplus Of
s. 1000, 900 would be shown instead of the
apparent deficiency.

PEORIA. ILL.,, June lS-A terrible
rainstorm swept through the Illinois River
valley last night, doing great damage to
crops gardens aud fences. In Hilton.
aero she river from here, a number of
hous,5 were washed from their founda-
lions aud the people fed il their night
clothes to the railroad grade and the Stills.
AT F%armdale, seven miles east, water
raised in the houses to a depth Of three
feet. Cattle aud horses and many hogs
and chickens were swept away, aud the
crops for a large distance we're utterly ru-
ined. The only fatality reported was in
the Copperas Greek valley in Fulton
county. When the food rushed down
the valley, a farmer AIMED Gray became
alarmed. and taking his three boyes. aged
IL, s and 3, he started for the hill. HIS
wife refused TO leave the house, taking
refuge on the roof. When Gray was half
way across the valley a floating log struck
and partially stunned him. The three
bows were drowned and Gray narrowly es.
capped. HIS wife was rescued this after
noon. The damage to railroads, bridges,
etc will be very heavy.

Hampson, in his "Medii GVL. Kalan-
darium," quotes the following quaint
tradition from an old Saxon treatise;
Some assert that the bissextus or leap
day comes through this, that Joshua
prayed to God that the sun might stand
still for n days length, that he might
sweep the heather from the land that
God had granted him and his followers.
1t is true that the sun did stand still for
one days length over the city of Gebaon,
but the day went forward in the same
manner as other days. And the bissex-
tus is not through that, as some do
think" In France and some parts OF
Spain and Portugal there exists a ira
dition known as 1.-THE ghost of leap
year" Believers in this say that a mar
vellous monster annually appears on
leap day and d~isarranges human affairs
for the remainder of the year.-St. Louis
Republic.
