MODEL OFFICE BUILDING.
Many New C~Onveniences TO Be i'm the
Indianapolis Gas Company's Home.
The H. LIEBER COMPANY,
SO South Meridian Street.

5 The new building which the Indianapolis
Gas Company is soon to erect is to be b.
far the finest block in the city. 1t is
claimed that some OF Its conveniences are
to be introduced for the first time west of
New York city. The building is to be
erected on the site of the old building, at
the corner of Pennsylvania and Maryland
streets. the estimated cost being s25o.oOo.
The building will cover a space S5x9s
feet. fronting on Pennsylvania street. and
will be ten stories high. besides the base
ment. 1t is to be built of stone, with a
steel frame, which will make it absolutely
fre-proof. There is to be a storeroom and
the offices of the Gas Company on the first
floor. while the remainder of the building
Is to be devoted to office purposes, each
floor being divided into eighteen offices,
making a total of 162 in the building. On each
ioor, also. is to be placed a large burglar
and fire-proof vault, containing eighteen
compartments, one for each office. The
floors OF the halls and stairways are to be
Of marble. while those of the Office rooms
will be made of cement. with a wooden
border. 1t is said that this will be the first

floor. The other one will be a through ele-
vator. making no stop below the sixth
floor. Thus those i'm the upper stories viii
be saved considerable time by being carried
directly TO their landings. Besides the
safes on each floor. there Will be a large
safety vault In the basement. This will be
for the safe keeping of all bulky packages
which the smaller vaults will not hold. All
the offices are on the outside-that is, they
have windows on the street, but there viii
also be two air and light shafts running
from the first floor to the roof by which
the whole building will be supplied with
plenty of fresh air and light. Work on this
building will be begun just as soon as the
weather will permit, and 1t is expected that
IL will be completed and ready for occu-
pancy by the latter part of October.

RECORD OF NEW BUILDINGS.
Last Year Shows Only a Slight In
crease Over the Year Before.

The Board of Safety held a short ses-
sion yesterday noon and attended to a few
routine matters. The annual report of John
G. Pendergast, the building inspector, was
received. During the year 1887 inspections
were made and 2.2o2 building licenses We're
issued, aggregating in value $2.107.115. There
were thirty-one business blocks con-
structed, 26s two-story residences and 4o2
of one story.
Mr.. Pendergast had prepared a compare
tive table, which indicates that the outlook
for building is improving. In 1892. be-
fore the panic, the value of buildings
erected amounted to $3,146, lis. During 1898,
the time which everybody remembers, the
building amounted to but $2,06l, 500. Mr..
Pendergast's report shows somewhat of an
Improvement. He says the Indications are
that this year a marked increase in build
ing will be seen.

Yesterday Coroner Castor viewed the
body of the infant which was murdered
Dec. 80, 1894. by its mother, Nettie Cieg-

exhumed at the coroner's orders. A scar
was found on the side of the head, which

caused by a burn. He also found indica-
tions that the child was smothered, as
confessed by Mrs. Cleggett. The coroner

to sift the matter to the bottom and dis
cover who all are concerned in the case.
