Building Inspector DohI Talks Upon the
Dangerous Condition of Many Houses
in the City.
The attention of Building Inspector
DOLL was called to the fact Wednesday
that there are certain houses in the west
part OF the city where there are no fire
walls at all.
"Oh, there are lots of them," he re-
marked, "where you can walk under
the roofs for the whole block. A burg
lar might go from one house to the
other easily through the trap door. You
can find this condition of things all over
the western side of the city.
"The partition walls extend only to
the ceiling joists. The lofts have No
division wall at all. Since the establish.
ment Of building inspector some 10
years ago or so, the law was made that
every two houses at least shall have q
partition wall to the roof. This is for a
fire ordinance. In July this was again
changed so that now every house mnst
have division wall"

A resolution introduced by Mr.. Tyre,
instructing the city treasurer to draw in
the name of the city solicitor check
for $4,000, to be given to Dennis J.
Mention and William NJ. Candy when
the solicitor receives from them the
deeds of the park lots, the investigation
of tine purchase of which was completed
this week, was adopted. Mr.. Tyre ex-
planned that the mayor had signed the
certificates of Indebtedness, and that the
loan can be negotiated at per cent
instead Of at 6, which, (the latter rate),
it was feared, would have to be paid.
After the adoption of the resolution
the city solicitor said there are two years
taxes, amounting to about $118 against
the lots. 1t was the intention Of the
trainers of the ordinance providing for
their purchase that they should not cost
more than $4,000. If Council did not
take some action he would hardly feel
justified in turning the check over. The
action to which he referred was not
taken. ,-

NEW YoRK, Oct. 2j--A crank of note
called at the residence of DIR. Joseph ID.
Bryant, on West Thirty-sxth street, where
President Cleveland is stopping. to-day,
and demanded to see the President. The
man is Richard Roeder of New York, the
same man who wrote TO Emperor William
of Germany, some months ago, challeng-
ing him to duel.
Roeder rang the door bell of the Bryant
home violently about . O'Clock, and when
the butler responded, demanded to see the
President. The butler told him that Mr..
Cleveland could not be seen. But it is
business of extreme ationalimportance,"
insisted Roeder.
This brought DIR. Bryant to the door. He
reasoned with the crank and told him it
was impossible to see the President at that
hour. Roeder was finally persuaded to go
away.
That President Cleveland is not sur

THE CONTRARY BOY.


/ am the qucerest sort of boy the world
has ever seen-
In fact, | don't suppose before my like has
ever been,
Because, from early dawning to the setting
of the sun,
| always want to do the things that really
can't be DONE
For instance, when the summer comes, 1
sit down by the gate
And almost tear my hair with rage be-
cause cannot skate. ....-
Ard through the heated August nights l
often lie IN bed
And moan and groan because ! can't 60
coasting on my sled.
Then when the frigid winters here, and
things begin to freeze,
feel as though I'd like to climb up in the
apple-trees
And pluck the blossoms from the twigs
but blossoms none are there
When winter winds are blowing and the
apple-boughs are bare.
At breakfast-time | sit me down, anc
often deeply sigh
Because there's toast and buckwhea
cakes instead of pumpkin.pie;
Yet. when at dinner.time we've pie, my
tears come down like lakes
Because by that time I've taste for toas
and buckwheat cakes.
And would say to other boys who thinl
it's fun to be
| Contrariwise that they would best take
warning now from me,
| Because lind the habit leaves me always
dull and sad,
And makes of me very drear, ill-naturet

The county court chamber presented
remarkable scene yesterday week.
1t was an exhibition of cowardice on
the part of murderer while being SEN
fenced, but still 1t was touching.
Court reconvened at o'clock. Few
spectators were present.
After the judiciary had assembled
Sheriff Gould was ordered to bring in
Michael Faino, the Italian convicted of
the murder of Carlo Ruvo.
The court denied the motion of the
counsel for the defence for the appoint
ment of commission to inquire into
Faino's sanity and proceeded to sem
tence the prisoner. The sentence was
pronounced by Chief Justice Lore and
interpreted by Police officer Carmen
Di Mare. The Chief Justice said;
On the I'd day of April of the present
year, without giving Carlo Ruvo any
notice, you came up behind him, cut his
throat with q deadly weapon. and he fell
dead at your feet almost instantly.
You sent his spirit to meet its God with
out any warning. The law has been moro
merciful to you. You have had fair and
impartial trial by twelve men who were
selected by you. You were defended by
very able counsel. They did everything
possible to show to the jury every extenu-
alton of your crime. Everything was done;
witnesses in this country and from the Old
country by their zeal and earnest labors
were brought for your defence.
And after the fullest trial the jury said
that you were guilty. The court see no
reason to doubt the Justice of tho verdict;
they do not see any reason for executive
clemency in your case.
We therefore advise and counsel you to
occupy the remaining days of your life i'll
making such preparation as you may to
meet your God.
Here the brutal murderer broke down
completely. He became limp and would
have fallen to the floor had not the
bailiif's arms encirclcd him. He wildly
beat his face with his fists and cried il
the most agonizing tones. One of hi!
cries sounded like "Ol mamma"
The remainder Of the sentence was aS
follows;
1t Is now considered and adjudged BY
the court that you Michael Faino, be nov
taken from the bar of this court to thu
public prison of New Castle county, tn,
place from which you came, and that yot
be there safely and securely Kept In Gus
tody until Friday, the 25th day of January
in the year of our Lord 1895, and that OF
that day, between the hours OF 10 o'clocl
in the morning and O'Clock in the after
noon, you be taken to some convenien
place of private execution, within the pre-
cincts of the prison enclosure, and tina
you then and there be hanged by the necl
until YOU be dead and may God hav
mercy upon your soul.
And you are now committed to the Gus
tody Of the sheriff of New Castle count
until this sentenceis carried into execution
Court adjourned until November 18th
