GREEK ARCHITECTURE RE.
{ Report for Glass +. by j. II. J

To one that is not familiar with this branch of
art will no doubt find it rather difficult subject
to handle with any degree of success. Such it
has proved in my case. my knowledge of archi-
lecture in general being somewhat limited. OF
the origin and strife of the early Greek architect
IRE very little is known although the best au-
thority on Greek art claim that Persia. Egypt
and ASSyria furnished Greece with the principal
architectural designs. which she used with such
marked success. This claim is based on the fact
that in referring back to the early architectural
history of those countries, we find many of the
elements of art as used by the Greeks at a later
period. Indebted to others Greece may have
been for the fundamental principles of her archi-
lecture. Yet. we know by the fruits which she
has beqheathed to the world. that she well re-
paid the borrowing by giving to architecture that
clear-cut beauty-a grace and grandeur which she
alone was capable of giving at that period Look
where you may you will find no nation or people
who have eXerted greater influence on humani-
ty. in as far art. science and literature is
cerned as that of Greece. 1t was in the early
part of the sixth century BIC that Greek art
seems to have emerged from its primitive stage
Its decline began in the early part of the third
century b. G. During this short period she ac
cOmplShed those great masterpieces in archi-
lecture which have not only won the admiration
of the world. but have stood as its models. We
find. that in Greek architecture there are three
styles. or better known as orders, these are the
DOric. Ionic and COrinthian. Each of these or
ders presented different series of proportions.

iStc part of each being the column and the en-
tablature or architectural cOrnice and frieZe
The first of these styles known to be used by the
Greeks, was that of the DOric. 1t is in this order
that the full strength. and the complete refine
ment of the artistic character of the Greeks is
best shown being the simplest of the three, yet
possessing rare beauty of its own which places
it on a par with either of the others. 1t is be-

ments, and must give the history from
memory. Year after year the attempt
had been made to abolish fiOgging in the
navy by clause in the naval apprOpri-
alton bill; and while it's advocates had
gradually increased in numbers, it had
uniformly failed On this occasion the
bill came from the house containing the
abolishing clause, and the motion was
made in the senate to strike it out. AS
announced by the secretary of the SEN
ate, from the record kept by him, this
motion was carried by one vote. There
seemed to be nothing to do but to wait
another year and try again.
My own record showed at first vote
of twenty-five to twenty-One to strike
out. every senator from the slave states
voting for it together with Senators
Cass and Smith from free states. AS
the secretary omitted the name of Sen
ator Greene of Rhode Island, | struck
it out from my list of nays, and added
Senators Bright and Benton. and Sena-
tor Cass changed his vote to nay. leav-
ing the result tWenty-fOur to twenty
three as it was announced by the secre-
tary. These changes on the eve of the
announcement of vote were not I'M
common, senators sometimes coming
into the chamber just in season to vote,
and at other times holding back their
votes or changing their votes to appear
to be on the side most acceptable to their
constituents provided they could learn
from the secretary's desk that it would
not cause the loss of the motion. But
| saw at once, Senator King. the presid-
ing officer, having already voted, that
if Senator Greene'S vote were counted,
it would make tie, and the motion
would be lost. I Immediately left my
chair and asked Senator Greene. who
was walking in the aisle near me-
whether he had not voted. He replied
that he had, that he had voted nay. I
told him that the secretary had not re-
corded it, and that his vote would defeat
the motion. Senator Greene at once in
terrupted the proceedings and inquired
how his vote was recorded: and being
informed that it was not recorded. he
claimed the right to have it recorded, as
he had voted when his name was called.
A debate arose, and considerable objec-
ton was made to the correction of the
record; but the conclusion was, think,
by another vote upon the motion upon
the following day, that the motion was
lost, and bill was passed as it came from
the house. FlOgging in the navy was
abolished, and has never been reinStated
And now | am ready to receive the
thanks of all the sailors in the navy dur
ing the following year, who were not
logged, and who would have been but
for my discovery, by the aid of the pa
per before me, of the error committed
by the secretary of the senate in record

New CASTLE, July 2s--One of the Hun
garians who participated III the melee at
Dobbinsville Tuesday night, has escaped
from the clutches of the law The name
OF the fugitive prisoner is not known. He
was suffering from severe scalp wound
which was inflicted during the fight, and
after an examination of him yesterday
morning DR. Stewart, the jail physician,
ordered him sent TO the almshouse hos
ptal. Shortly after noon the ambulance
arrived at the jail and took the man to
Farnhurst. Here he was taken in charge
BY the superintendent, who at once placed
him in TIE hospital. Two hours afterward,
when inquiry was made by telephone from
this city as tothe condition of the prisoner,
his cot was empty and he could not be
found anywhere about the premises. No
one knows how he escaped. The other
two Huns are still in Jail.
New CASTLE July 29.-The heat was very
severe here yesterday although not quite
so oppressive as on Tuesday. Last night
was the hottest in the memory of the old
est inhabitant. Not breath of air stirred
and the person who enjoyed solid nights
rest is hard to find. In the mills and fac
tories there was much suffering yesterday.

to cease their labor early in the day. Last
night nearly the whole population flocked

ing relief from the heated streets, hut the

NEW CASTLE, Aug. -Four stacks of
wheat on the farm of George Moore in
the city limits, we're totally destroyed by
fire yesterday morning. During the heavy
thunder storm just before daylight one Of
the stacks was struck by lightning and the
flames quickly spread to the adjoining
stacks The l4enape fire company
promptly responded to the alarm which
sounded about $50 o'clock. The tiremen
had 10 fight the fire with small water
supply which was in danger of becoming
exhausted at any moment but they con
fined their efforts chiefly to saving the five
other stacks and the barn and stable, in
which they were successful. The flames
were not completely eXtinguished until
nearly noon and it was o'clock before the
engine and hose carriage wGrs housed
The loss on the stacks will not reach over
$500, which amount is fully covered by
insurance.
Yesterday was undoubtedly the quietest

summer The rain began falling early in
the morning and continued in heavy
showers all day. The river excursions for
the first time in many weeks, carried small
crowds. The churches were all poorly
attended.
