VEST AND cocKRELL.
Senators Vest and Cockren took an active
part In the proceedings from start to finish
It was Senator Vests speech at the beginning
OF the session that set the pace for the silver
men and endowed them with courage; it was
senator Cockrelps nggresslveness and per-
sistency that prevented many of the Demo
cratic silver men from yielding TO the iniu-
ence oil the administration long ago. Sena-
tor Harris, Of Tennessee, was the chief parlia-
mentsr:an among the silver men. Senator
voorhees,, of course, with Gray, Mills, Villas,
white and Aldrich on the Republican eide,
managed the repeal campaign
The strongest speech made for repeal was
that OF Senator Mills. The ablest for silver
was that OF JoHes Of Nevada, and the most
brilliant OF the anti-repeal speeches was that
OF Daniel OF Virgins. Cafery of Louisiana
made a strong address for repeal. Blackburn
OF Kentucky made most able effort against
repeal and In favor Of compromise The
speeches male b. Waithall of Mississippi
against repeal are considered by some of the
repeal senator's as the best Argument in many
ways on that side OF the question. Walthsll

To rr+vcn. wrecks.

The numerous disastrous railway wrecks In
she East recently have put the managers of
Western lines on their guard, and unusual
precautions against accidents are now being
aiken The Santa Fe company ordered that
hereafter every passenger train on the line be-
tween Chicago and Kansas City must have n
,iarman on the rear platform constantly, and
the official order reads that this flagman must
not leave his post 10 eat or sleep until he Is
relieved by some one capable of standing

collisions. Oher roads Will likely follow the
example and aoopt somc similar scheme.

FIRST STORY.

The dining room projects ~ feet from

up two stories and gable roofed thus Civ
ing picturesque effect to the exterior
From the dining room you may pass
through the pantry to the kitchen or out
on the rear porch. Among other features
are II china closet for the dining room and
store closet for the kitchen, with an outside
door from same to rear of house This
door is protected by n porch. For conven-
fence door is placed between the hall and
kitchen. The entrance to cellar is placed
under the stairs.
In the second story are two large cham

room-which can also be used as q small
bcdroom-hall and closets. With the en-
ception of the hall and floor the attic is left
unfinished
The foundation walls of the building are
of stone, laid in cement mortar. The Chin
ney is of brick. Above the foundation walls
the house is of wood, balloon frame sheath
ed and papcred on the outside, with the
lower story clapboarded and the second

Unusually large rooms are obtained in
the second story by extending the building
over the front veranda and rear extension
and porchcs. The entire front of the build
ing in second story is octagon shape, which
adds much to the appearance of the front
and makes n very cheerful effect inside and
