aAN5EAESr OF THE BUuDISa-THE OFFICES
AND ENGINE ROOM.
INA FEW DAYS THE WORK OF LAYING
Il the foundations of a huge structure to be
erected in square ass, which is located on the
south side of Pennsylvania avenue opposite
the National Theater, will be begun All the
buildings in the square have been removed
and the entire space will be occupied by
a building to be erected by the Washington
and Georgetown Railroad Company. Some
idea Of the proportions Of this building can be
obtained when i. is stated that il Will have q
frontage on the avenue of 240 feet on 14th and
1875 streets $50 feet and on street of 240 feet.
The six stories will rise to height of 100 feet.
The primary object OF this structure will be
its as power house for the cable
system which the company proposes to put
down on the avenue and 14th street. The COM
pany will occupy only the first two stories and q
building Of that height would answer the pur-
pose. But il was concluded that the location in
the heart of the ciIy and on one of the principal
thoroughfares demanded a structure somewhat
more pretentious in architectural character
than the actual requirements of the road make
necessary. The design and plans Of the build
ing as prepared by w. c. Root, architect, are
SIMPLE but effective.
THE GENERAL DESIGN.
The scheme of the design is a series Of arches
marking the window openings and substan-
TALLY buttressed at the corners by towers which
finish at the roof with a parapet in harmony
with the finish above the cornice of the entire
building Large arches extend through the
FIRST two stories and then above are another

1t Is announced on authority thatJ. N. Osgood,
chairman Of the western and northwestern di-
visions of the Western Freight Association. has
resigned the Office and will sever his relations
with the association at its next meeting. This
expected change will most likely place W. H.
Hosmer, present auditor of the Southwestern
in charge of all divisions chief under Chair
man Midgely, commissioner of the western di-
vision OF the Western Traffic Association. 1t is
said that Chairman Osgood has a tempting offer
from western railroad company and will
probably accept it. He is regarded a. one Of
the best traffic men in the country.

The Little Chapsl.
IA note of Sherman's march to the ses. !

"A note Of sherman's march to the seal
The news had reached our quiet town,
Like drum beat Of the reveille,
That Sherman's host was marching down,
"A thunder cloud Of blacklist frown,
Through Georgia to the sea
Augusta, calm and still retreat,
Amid the tempest wild around
We heard the tramp OF distant feet,
Where hostile armies seemed to meet
But none with ms were found.
Twas on Sunday morning clear,
Sweet ray Of light on wars dark cloud,
We gathered in q chapel dear,
The word Of peace awhile to hear,
And not the thunder loud.
All me-a lady, sobbing, said
hear the cannon's distant roar
Nearer 1t comes, j am afraid
Our chapel, soon in ruin laid,
Will greet me neyermore.
But onward rolled the mighty blast,
The tramping legions on their path
We heard the whiriwind rushing fast.
The thunder, as the train swept past
But not for us its wrath.
The little church In safety stood
Next Sunday, as II did before
Afar we heard the mighty food,
The sounds Of war that thrill the blood,
Dying upon the shore.
Twas whispered that in days of old,
Young Sherman once was stationed here,
Where on the hill the soldiers bold
Did then, as now, the arsenal hold,
To keep the land from fear.
A sweetheart in the town had he
As soldiers bold will ever have
And softened by that memory,
He turned aside to seek the sea
All honor to the brave,
Brave hero Of the iron will,
So strong in every fiery testi
And yet heart as generous still,
at friendships touch to glow and thrill,
AS beats In woman's breast.
The soldier still-as death drew nigh,
He left his couch to meet the foe,
AS when he marched in days gone BY,
The light Of battle in his eve,
To deal some conquering blow.
Alas! Q stronger now than he
Had come to meet him in the light
This march upon the boundless 500.
The ocean of eternity,
The ships far cut of sight.
Was it the rolling drum that stirred
Some signal of the bugle blast!
Or else another call he heard
The still small voice, the welcome word
The battle done at last.
