The New Library Building at Washing
ton the Largest Known of Its Kind.
In round numbers the national IL
brary of the United States contains
zoe, 900 bound volumes and 200, 900
pamphlets, all of which are at present
crowded into a room in the capitol-a
room which was full fifteen years ago,
according to Kate Fields Washington.
Yet the accumulation has gone on I'M
til there is barely room to walk about
in the library itself, while a dozen
filed with the overflow. With the
need in plain sight it took congress
several years to make up its mind to
erect library building, but finally in
April. 1885, it decided to do il. A site
was chosen on Capitol hill directly east
of the capitol itself, and S55O,000 was
appropriated for it's purchase. Forty
or fifty buildings had to be removed
before excavations could be made for
the foundation. 1t took 2,70O feet of
fencing twelve feet high to inclOse the
ground, and it was nearly four years
after the fence was built before any
part of the building was visible over
its top. There is great deal of the
hbrary-47O feet long by $40 feet wide.
1t covers III, 900 square feet of ground
and will be 40 feet in height from the
ground to the top of the dome when
finished. That is, next to the capitol,
it will be largest edifice in Washington
and the largest library building in the
world.
When congress did decide to do the
work it was pleased to have it done
well. The utmost care was used in Sc
curing a firm foundation, and the best
of material has been put into the SUI
perstructure. All the material is of
home manufacture except the white
enameled brick. When the contract
was made in 1888 no enameled brick
were made in this country-certainly
not in sufficient quantities. Several
states are represented in the construc-
ton of the library building. New
Hampshire and Maryland furnish the
granite; the structural ironwork came
from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Indiana, the ordinary brick are made
within the District of Columbia and
the floor thing comes from Massacbu-
Satts and Vermont THE new library

Judge Grubb Heard Testimony Yester-
day and Released Jacob Goodman
From Jail.
Jacob Goodman, the tailor who was
arrested on a caplas for breach Of prom
Use and sent to New Castle jail in default
of 81, 600 bail, is now a free man, much
to the chagrin of his Philadelphia dull
Gina, Sarah Schneiderman, who had him
arrested.
Judge Grubb sat in the Levy Court
room yesterday afternoon and heard the
application Of II. II Ward for Goodman's
release. The question involved was
whether Goodman was going to abscond
the place of his usual abode
Sarah Schnederman, through A. J.
Kooch, interpreter, testified that Rebecca
Solomon ana Isaac Shuttler had told her
that Goodman was going to leave Della
ware. Other people told her the same
thing Shutter testified that on April
20 Goodman told him that he was going
to st. Louis. When the wedding was
broached Goodman said that be had
tired of Miss Schneiderman and would
leave WILMINGTON If she cane here
J. 5. Mullin, Thomas O'Connell and
john Stohlmsn, of the James T. Mullin
q Sons establishment, were put on the
stand They said they had never heard
Goodman speak OF leaving.
Lewis Cooper and Lewis Leschem
gave testimony which went to show
that Goodman was not in Philadelphia
on April 20. Goodman also swore that
he was not there on that date and did not
see Shutter or have such conversation
with him. To rebut this Miss Schneider
man was recalled She swore that che
saw Goodman twice in Philadelphia on
the day mentioned.
After Andrew K Sanborn, counsel for
the plaintiff, had made a short argument,
the judge said it was unnecessary for
H H. Ward, counsel for Goodman. to
speak. He ordered that Goodman be
discharged, saying that it would not
interfere with breach of promise pro
ceedings
