Messrs. Wilson & Higgins, architects.
have completed the plans for tho ad-
dition to the courthouse. They are
now in the hands Of the board of pub
lie works. Several contractors have
estimated tho cost of the building to be
about Sc. 900.
Tho structure will occupy the space
between the old courthouse and the
Thomas building and will extend from
Commerce street west to the first win
dow on the south side OF tho present
courthouse building.
The addition will BIO 5ix44 feet and
will be entered through the main en-
trance of tho present courthouse. The
general style of architecture will be in
Keeping with tho present building of
which it forms part. The height of
tho stories aud cornice and the trim
mingS will be the same as tho old build
ing The roof is high pitched and
pointed at the top, surmounted with q
large galvanized iron pinial The deep
bay i'll front is finished with an orna-
mental gable above the main entrance
The roof will be OF slate and the walls
Of solicited hard brick, similar TO those
of which the main building is con
structed.
While following closely the general
features of the old building, and by tho
grouping of details and the adoption OF
holder proportions, somewhat more ar
tistic effect has been obtained.
ON tho first floor main hall will run
from tho hall now in use to door next
to the Thomas building. Tho stairway
in the present building will be- removed
and this hall will occupy its space.
The re will be three Offices on the first
floor l4Xl7 feet, one Office 11xl5 feet
and the clerks Office 14x3O feet. A fire
| proof vault and n closet will also be on
| this floor.
| These rooms will all be lighted with
| large windows. The clerks room will
connect with the present clerks office
by door. The second floor will be
reached by single lighto of stairs with
out turns or landings and will be the
circuit court room, 35x41 fest. In this
room is space cut Off for the bar, 2Sx3O
feet Tho stand for the Judge is okla
feet and is raised eighteen inches above
tho floor. The clerks desk Is placed on
the same platform. On the right of this
| is the jury platform in two tiers. Or
| posite this on the left OF the Judges seat
is the witness stand.
This room will be ventilated with cold
air registers under the stoves and a foul
air register in the ceiling together wi tn
Two star entilatOrs in the roof. The cell
ing of the court room will be arched and
panelled so as to render the accous tic
properties of the rooN as near perfect
as possible. Besides this on the second
floor, is tho judges private room. one
jury room and private room for tko
members Of the bar. The clerks room
will oecut OFF from the present Husting's
Court room and communicate with the
now court room. This was dono at the
suggestion of Judge Robertson in order
to improve the acoustics of the lust
lngs Court room. The court room will
have u door opening out on tho porch of
the Thomas building.
The entire building will be fitted up
in the best style of improved modern
| plumbing.
When this addition is built the court
house will present very handsome and
imposing appearance.

THE DIOCESE DIVIDED.
The Episcopal Council Settles an Irnpor
ant Question.


Tho most important work accom-
plished by the Council of the Episcopal
Church of Virgil MIA at it's session in
Danville during the past week was
the action taken in regard do the divis-
ion of Virginia into two dioceses. The
division as reported bv the COMMITTEE
was not entirely acceptable to the
Council and created considerable dis.
cussion, and the matter was only ad.
justed By the committee accepting as an
amendment to their report the addition
OF the four counties of the Peninsula,
AS finally reported to and accepted by
Council the new diocese to be erected
will consist of tho following;
Accomac, Northampton, Princess
Anne, Norfolk, Nansemond, Isle of
Wight, Surry, Prince George, Sussex,
Southampton, Grecnsville, Brunswick,
Dinwiddie, Chesterfield, Powhatan,
Amelia, Nottoway, Lunenburg, Neck
lenburg, Halifax, Charlotte, Prince Ed
ward, Appomattox, Cumberland, Buck
ingham. Nelson, Augusta. Highland,
Bath, Alleg hany, Rock bridge. Amherst,
bedford, Campbell, Pittsylvapia, Henry,
i"hhliA, dItlCh, SdrrOll, cIOyQ, M ont
gomery. Roanoke, Botetourt, Craig,
Giles. Pulaski. Bland, Wythe. Grayson,
Smythe, Tazewel', buchanan, Dickinson,
Russell, Washing Ton, Scott, Wise, Lee,
Elizabeth City, Warwick, York and
James City. These counties constitute
what Will be known as the Southern
diocese. the remaining counties of the
State to be, of course, known as the
Northern diocese.
1t must be understood, of course, that
the action of Council is by no means
final, as the matter will now have to go
before the general convention for ratifi.
cation. The division as finally settled
upon is fairly equitable, and while it
may not be satisfactory to all the
ehurchmen of Virginia. it is conceded
to be as nearly equal as it was possible
to mako &c. Assistant Bishop A. M.
Randolph will ofcourse be given charge
of one of the dioceses and then it is
most likely that an assistant bishop
will be selected as an aid to Bishop
Whittle, this, however, only in the event
of Bishop Whites health continuing
delicate. 1t is entirely likely that
Bishop Whittle will elect to remain in
charge Of tho Southern Diocese. as now
constituted. The Council adjourned sine
die yesterday.

to appropriate $500 for the use OF tho
executive committee. The committee
on music is corr csponding with tho
Soldiers Homo Band OF Norfolk and
| the Stonewall Band OF Staunton, and

fact, together with the grand concert,
under the direction Of Prof. p. c. Leary,
will make the music special feature
OF tho occasion. The Roanoke Machine
Works reported that it is getting up
nice display.
