HAD HEARD REPEATED WARNINGS.
He had heard repeated warnings before the
accident. Messengers of Col. Ainsworth
stationed on the stairways had notified them
with bated breath that it was Col. Ainsworth'e q
orders that they should go softly or carefully
down the stairs and go a few at a time. Wit
ness WAS not at first apprehensive. II was his
custom at II O'Clock to go into the excavation.
He last went there on Wednesday. but then the
excavation had not reached the arches that sup
ported the pillars. Witness. who had been civil
engineer had always had an idea that that build
ing was unsafe. That WAS common talk. He
had received n letter TINS morning from lady
inquirng if he were safe and reminding him
that two years ago ne had told her he was going
into death trap. 1t was considered death
trap by all, the witness said, but then bread
and butter depended upon it and they took the
chances. The witness, by means of a diagram
which the coroner had. pointed ont the loca-
ton of different desks and different points
about the building
WHO GAVE THE WARNING.
The witness said the messenger who had
spoken to him about going softly was colored
man whom he knew as Henry. On another
day another messenger had spoken to him. He
had seen the messengers there three or -four
times. There were different messengers on the
different ascents Tho witness said, in response
to an inquiry by Mr.. Hanvey, that he had been
raised rs civil engineer. At the time he Wis
tied the excavation they had not reached a
dangerous point. Witness had been cautioned
by one or two less venturesome than himself
not to go in. One who had spoken to him was
Mr.. Collins. Witness was interested in the
work because he was one Of those who had to

AN OUTRAGE.
A Quack Doctor Misrepresents and
Robs a Consumptive,

Some time ago a finely dressed know
nothing came to this city and registered
at a hotel as medical doctor. His
single was tackled on the wall and he
began the practice of medicine, so the
people supposed.
A few days ago young man from Ten,
nessee named Mclean arrived here and
registered at the same hotel. He was as
near deaths door as possible, being in the
last stage of consumption. He tried many
remedies, but they proved OF no value, his
case being too far gone. What little
money he had in his possession, which
was small amount, he proposed TO save
to defray expenses while here.
rhe supposed doctor, while seated in
the hotel Office one evening not long
since, engaged in conversation with the un-
fortunate young man, and, ascertaining
his ailments, made known the fact that
he was IN. d." and offered his services
in slick tongued manner. The patient,
thinking that there was possible chance
of being cured by this demon, who put up
such an intelligent talk, consented to
being treated, aud the doctor" began his
work. In short while the poor man
was pennileSs, his honest health restorer
having gulled every cent out OF him. lie
then left the hotel and is still in the city
playing the same game. The city detec-
tiveS have this matter In charge and II
will be Sifted to the bottom.

THE sQUABBLE GOES ON.
While The County Convicts Fat
Idle Rread

There is a lively squabble going on over
the question of delivering the county con-
victs to the county convict guard which
has been in progress for some time aud
still continues.
The county commissioners and the
Superintendent of county cOnvicts apply
to the sheriff for the convicts to work
them on the county roads but the sheriff
declines to deliver them to the convict
superintendent because he is not a bonded
officer and therefore not responsible for
the fines and fees due the state and officer.
He is willing to deliver them provided the
county judge will give an order for their
delivery, as the county judge is bonded
officer and the sheriff considers him re-
sponsible in case the convicts escape.
The county judge declines to assume
the responsibility and will not give the
sheriff an order for the delivery of any Of
them and says he knows no law by which
be is required to give such order or under
which he is responsible for fines or fees in
case OF the escape of the convicts.
In the meantime the convicts live in
luxurious idleness In the jail at the eX-
pense Of the county and with no benefit to

THE CoTILLIoN.-All the arrange

cotillion to be given tomorrow night
at McBurney's Hall, and the affair IS
expected to be the largest and most
successful of the kind ever held in this
city. As previously stated in the
GAZETTE the cotillion will be led by
Mr.. w. B. Corse, and is under the man
agement of Mr.. r. F. Knox, Jr., as
chairman of the committee. One OF the
principal features on this occasion will
be the music, an extra number of per-
formers having been secured, and the
band will be under the personal direc-
ton of Prof Donch, of Washington: A
large number of invitations have been
issued and many strangers will attend.
Among the ladies who will chaperon

old Snowden, Mrs. S. 3. Davis, Mrs. l..

CoNGRESs.-In the Senate yesterday
a resolution by Mr.. Gallinger, declaring
it unwise to attempt change in the
tariff laws during the present admins
tration, was laid on the table. The
urgency deficiency bill was passed after
brief discussion of the item for the
payment OF mileage at the present ses-
sion. The resolution offered Monday
by Mr.. Morgan for joint committee
of Senators and Representatives on the
Nicaragua canal was agreed TO. Con-
currence was voted in the conference
report on the New York and New
Jersey bridge bill.
In the House of Representatives the
greater part of the day was spent in
consideration of the New York and
New Jersey bridge, and after discussion,
chiefly confined to the New York men,
bers, the bill was agreed to.
The urgent deficiency bill to pay Sen
ators' clerks and Senate employees dur
ing the recess of the Fifty-frst Con-
gress, which was defeated in the closing
hours OF the recent extra session, was
passed.
Both Houses adopted resolutions pro-
viding that the Christmas recess extend
from Thursday, December 81, to We'd
nesday, January 8, 1894.

A WELL-ARMED NEGRo.-A colored
man named Albert Jackson, who could
give no satisfactory account of himself,
was elected from the waiting room at
the Midland depot last night by Special
Officer Charles Crump. The last train
had left, and Officers Howson and
Trayers, finding Jackson lettering in
the neighborhood, accosted him and de.
manded that he give some account OF
himself. He pretended he lived UP the
railroad track, and the officers con-
cluded to escort him out of town, but
it soon became apparent that his resi-
dence was not in this neighborhood and
he was arrested. Apistol every cham
Der loaded, full box of cartridges and
a razor were found on him. This morn
ing he was fined $50, but having but q
dollar or two in his pockets he was sent
to the chain gang.

CHRISTMAS ALMOST HERE.-Christ-
mas is almost here, and despite the
fact that money is scarce, there is al
air of joyous anticipation of the pleas
ures Of the coming holidays, which S
in perfect keeping with that of form, r
years. Especially is this the case with
the little folks who, remembering the
visits of Santa Claus year ago, are
anxiously looking forward when he
shall come again. And these are not
all The big and little, old and young
alike, are preparing for the happy,
merry Christmas time. If there be any
doubt about it, one only needs to take
stroll along King street and take a
look at the holiday goods which our
merchants have on display, when it
will be seen that many Of the stores are
thronged with buyers of presents, the
idea being to make purchases while
there is yet time to avoid a rush. The
display this year in all classes OF holt
day goods is as great and full as to as
sortment, as is usually the case, and
perhaps the prices rule lower than in
former years. In this connection a
word to Santa Claus may not be out Of
place, as an exchange in similar arti-
Gle suggests; christmas does indeed
cost money, but no money is ever better
invested, when the Christmas invest.
ment is made judiciously. Christmas
investments are repaid in bonds of love
and stocks of pleasure, which yield a
heavy interest in unalloyed happiness.
And no man can get anything better
for his money than that"
