TAKING GoULD.s BODY AWAY.


Thousands Watch the Mourners Depart
From the House.
NEW YORK, Dec 6-From early morning the
sidewalk opposite the Gould mansion was lined
with men and women who seemed inpeiled to
gather there more through curiosity than any
thing else. 1t was the day Of the
financial kings burial and they would
at least catch glimpse OF the casket az 1t was
carried out. They had been refused admission
yesterday, but today not all the police force of
the city could prevent them from viewing such
incidents attending the interment as took place
on the public thoroughfare.
Six policemen, however, kept the crowd away
from the immediate neighborhood Of the
house.
The announcement made yesterday that the
long drive to the tomb at Woodlawn would be-
gin at $50 o'clock led the mournery to assem-
BILE early. The company which was to At
tend the interment included only the
hnhnciers family and about score Of his near
est frtends. Ten carriages were drawn mp along
the curbstone. At 10 o'clock sharp the heavy
oaken door Of the Gould mansion
swung open and Doctor Paxton, ac-
companied by Chancellor McCrasksn, stepped
upon the porch. When they appeared the un-
dertaker. who had been waiting ON the opposite
side Of the street, burned with four assistants
into the rear door Of the mansion and the
hsarss drew mp to the curb. A moment later
the andsrtaksr and his men brought the caskst
NON h houss and lifted Il into shs vshiols.

Before Joined Together.
A man about fifty years of age stepped up
to clerk who was working on the files In
the great hall of the pension building
today about IL o'clock and asked him
if tthere WAS minister of the gospel
in the building. The clerk said he thought
there was, and while he sent for one of the
cloth the man told him that he in
tended to get married, but that he had
never seen the woman he was 60
ing to marry until today. She was
standing near him and was apparently about
the man who, said his name was George
W. Arnold, resident OF Woodbridge,

some time with Miss Cecilia Nein Of Cleve-
land. Ohio. They had exchanged pho
tographs and had decided to marry.
Finally it agreed that she should

the president Of the Washington Hebrew con-
gregation and is well known as one Of the sub
stantal business men Of the city. Mr.. King
and his associates on the committee have pre-
pared an attractive program Of entertainment,
which will tighten the business session and will
enable the delegates to mingle with their graver
duties some relaxation.
The prominent features Of the decorations of
the hall were large American flags, which were
suspended over the platform and draped the
front OF the gallery. On the walls were
Hebrew inscriptions in gold letters. the transla-
tlon OF some OF which were follows: "All
Israel are brethren" "Peace be with you,"
blessed be your entrance and blessed be your
departure" How goodly are Thy tents. o
Israel! Thy tabernacles, o Israeli Across the
front Of the platform was displayed In large
letters Of gold the word Welcome
On ssphar scroll of law, handsomely framed
and resting on an easel decorated with Amer
lean flags, was inscribed in Hebrew the PRAYER
for governments. and especially for the govern
ment Of the United Stases. This was located
on the platform at the right of the presiding
officer. Over the front of the presidents desk
was suspended a representation in gilt Of the
Memorial seven-branched candelabra, with the
inscription in Hebrew '.Let there be light"
The chairs were removed from the front part
of the hall and the space was occupied BY long
tables, at which the delegates were seated.
There was an ample supply of stationery and
other essentials for business meeting.
CHARACTER OF THE UNION.
The union, as the name implies, comprises
delegates from the large number Of Hebrew
congregations throughout the country which
contribute to the support Of the Hebrew Union
College. located at Cincinnati. where Ameri-
can rabbits educated. There are some
los congi egations in the union and the
basis Of representation at the biennial meet
ings is one delegate to every twenty-five
members. All the congregations. how
ever, were not fully represented at the
opening session this morning. but the assem-
blage that the president, Julius Freiberg Of
Cincinnati, looked upon as he raped for
order shortly before IL O'Clock was q repre-
sentative one and composed Of q large
number Of the substantial Hebrews of this
country. The session opened with PRAYER
by Rev. Mr.. Crossman Of New York. the dele
gates arising and standing during the invoca-
ton as well as the audience which occupied the
chairs in the rear Of the delegates.

THE NEW LIBRARY BUILDING.
Gen. Casey's Report as to What Has Been
and Will BE Done.

Gen. Casey's Report as to What Has Been
and Will BE Done.
Gen. Casey today submitted to Congress his
annual report upon the construction of the
Congressional Library building. He says that
operations have steadily progressed throughout
the year in every part Of the building where
the nature of the work would permit.
All Of the court walls. excepting only the at
tics Of the pavilions, but including the whole
of the masonry Of the octagon or rotunda,
have been completed and made ready to re-
ceive the roofs The progress in all other
particulars anticipated for the year in the last
annual report has been fully accomplished
excepting only the iron door and window
frames in one-half of the second story
and the upper part of the front walls of that
story. Gen. Casey describes in detail the work
during the year, and says that the exterior
walls would probably have reached the height
of the main entablature by this date
but for the dissensions between the granite
contractors and their cutters. Gen. Casey fur
nshes photograph of the structure, showing
the work, and gives the following outline Of
probable operations during the coming year:
OPERATIONS DURING THE COMING YEAR.
During this winter the iron and steel work
of the dome will be put in place, the prepara-
ton of the interior marble finish of the main
halls and reading room begun and the prepare
ton Of dressed granite for the exterior walls
continued.
By December l, 1893 it is expected that the
masonry of the front walls will be nearly
finished, the foundations of the porch and porte
cochere laid. the exterior work of the dome
completed the roof of the west center pavilion
or main stair hall well advanced and
the roofs Of other parts of the building framed
the area gratings and copings laid, the iron
door and window frames and castings nearly
finished, shelving and decks Of book stacks well
advanced, all iron stairs for octagon stair
towers and east pavilion putin place, and the
interior marble finish for the halls and reading
room well under way.
The total amount expended on the building
since October 2, 1888, is S2,417 ALSO, with
contracts in force December l, 1892, Of

MIR. sPRINGER.s IDEAS.
To Press Tariff Bills and to Abolish the
Electoral College.

Electoral College.
Mr.. Springer Of Illinois is not satisfied to
remain in Washington for three months with
out legislation of any sort resulting from his
energetic presence. He has begun already to
lay out work for Congress- both for this session
and for the next
His proposition to proceed with tariff legis-
lation at once, SO as to carry into completion
the general plan inaugurated at the last ses-
sion, is not apt, however, to meet with the ap-
proval of the committee on ways and
means. That policy was never intended to
apply to any but the situation then existing,
with the democrats in control of but one house.
With both houses of Congress and the execu-
tive little way ahead proposition to proceed
as before cannot meet with favor.
There is one other thing which Mr.. Springer
has in mind which he hopes to succeed with
and which he is going to put his
best energy into. At the last session
he introduced a resolution for a con-
stitutional amendment providing for the
abolition Of the electoral college and for q
change in the time of the meeting OF Congress.
This he proposes to press to the front at
once. His scheme is to give each state
as many electoral votes 1t has mem
bers and Senators, as now. but to
divide the electors of each state between the
candidates in proportion to the size Of the pop
ular vote received by each. the population be-
ing divided into units. Congress, he
proposes, shall expire in December fol-
lowing the general election and 1.-THE
new Congress shall convene in January fol-
lowing the election The term Of the Presi-
dent he wants extended to six years and
more than one term prohibited. The terms
of Congressman he wants extended to three
years. During last session he did not get
much consideration for this proposition, but he
believes that the present time is opportune and
that he can press it upon the attention Of the
public and Congress SO as to secure favorable
consideration. The committee to whom the
resolution referred will hold meeting on
Friday, and it is expected that they will take
the matter up.
Mr.. Springer points out the fact that there
Is dispute over one Of the electors in Ore
gon, one in Ohio. one in Kansas and some
tangle about the electors of California,
and says that with such a condition Of affairs
the country might easily be thrown into
revolution il sthe result of the election were
close enough to make it depend on these votes.
His plan he contends would avoid the POSSIBLE
ity of any such condition Of affairs and would
render corruption very difficult.
