Augusta will soon have city building
of which she may well feel proud. 1t will
be essentially commodious, and in all
ways perfectly suited to the wants of city
departments, and officers. It will be CON
structed Of the best material and in style
of architecture is modern, substantial
and pleasing.
The cut shows how the building will
appear when completed. The point of
view is taken from the south side of Cony
street, close by the end of the bridge, and
gives one an excellent idea of the shape
and general style. The side facing the
river is illustrated, giving view of the
wing with the main body in the rear.
This wing, placed as it is ON the river
side, gives fine opportunity for viewing
the river from the rear windows, as well
as the side. For in the rear of the wing
the building Is constructed in a curve,
thus afording an opportunity for bay
windows from which the river directly
opposite as well as to the north, may be
conveniently seen. However, all the
windows on the west side facingithe river
afford an excellent view, even from the
basement, for the latter unlike most base
ments, on this side and in the rear, is
entirely above the exterior surface level
and the windows are consequently wholly
open to the light, thus relieving the rooms
countered in easements. In the front and
east side, also the light obtained for the
basement is excellent and no difficulty in
this respect will anywhere be experienced.
The building faces south, and from the
front windows an extended view of the
river and city can be obtained.
A herdic is shown before the door in
the architects drawing, and also the out
lines of handsome block at the right.
1t may be objected that he has drawn too
largely upon his imagination in these in
stances; but we think not. He has
simply anticipated progress little.
We are indebted to Mr.. c. T. McFar
land. of the firm of Spofford 81 McFar-
land the architects of the building, for
the excellent drawing from which We
were enabled to make the above cut, to
show our readers how the building will
appear, when completed.

front entrance which will be of granite
On either side of this doorway will be a
large polished granite column, with large
granite pedestals and Ionic cappings.
Outside of these will be square granite
pilasters which with the columns Will

SQUARE, flat arch over the entrance.
Above the front entrance three large
windows are inserted to admit light to
the hall on the second story. These win
dows are surmounted with curved
arches. and between them are fancy
brick pilasters with terra Gotta cappings.
The first story will be of rusticated

room.
Besides the main front entrance, and
the one in the rear for the prisoners, will
be one at the rear of the east side, which
will open from the street. which will be
cut in close to the building from Cony
street. and which will like the main front
entrance, admit to both the basement and
the first floor.
In the rear of the basement floor will be
the toilet rooms.
Two stairways ascend to the first floor,
one in the end of the front hall, near the
court room; the other in the rear near the
entrance from the alley way.
Entering the first floor from the main
vestibule one is led into large hall into
which offices open as in the basement.
AT right angles to this hall runs a cor
ridor, also to admit to the rooms through
the building.
On the front, over the river, will be
the mayors office, with the auditor
Office directly in the rear. Along the
front will be the aldermen's room, with
other offices which have not yet been ap-
propriated. On the east side will be the
committee, and common council rooms.
On the river side, near the mayor
office broad stairway will lead to the
hall. Near this is a toilet room.
On the west side will be the auditor 5 and
treasurer's cflice, with vaults connected,
similarly with the floor below. The city
clerk S room also will be on this side with
vaults.
The hall on the second floor will be

end On either side of the stage will be
dressing and toilet rooms, with starways
leading to it from the story below
The main entrance to the hall will be
near the southeast corner; near by will
be the dressing rooms.
The hall will have fine maple floor
suitable for dancing. 1t will be large
enough to accommodate the biggest con
ventions and can be used for entertain
ments The floors for the offices and cor
ridors will be of Southern pine.
The walls and ceilings throughout the
building will be of white plaster work
excepting those in the hall, which will be

grade of cypress.
The building will be fitted with facilities
for both gas and electric lighting,

will be on by the first of January, and that
in few weeks later the city officers will

STRUGGLE WITH HIGHWAYMAN.-
At II minutes past twelve o'clock last
night Mr.. Jones, a young man in the
employ of the Washington Southern
Railway Company, came out OF the
freight house on Henry street, and saw
a white man emerge from neighbor-
ing alley and walk toward him. The
stranger, when close to Mr.. Jones, de-
manded his money or his life. MIR.
Jones told the highwayman he had but
fifteen cents, but the later did not be-
lieve him and grappled with him. Both
men rolled about on the pavement for
some time, neither getting much ad
vantage of the other, until the struggle
attracted the attention of woman who
CHANGED to be in 3 neighboring door
way. and she yelled murder y The
hirhwsvman then released MIR. Jones
aud started to run away. AT tins
iuncture railroad man, who had been
attracted to the spot by the woman,s
cries, fred his pistol into the air to give
an alarm. 1t is suggested that ne should
have discharged his weapon at the
stranger, who was within range at the
time.

In THE WASHINGTON JAIL.-As has
been stated, Desmond, the suspected
safe blower. was taken to Washington
Yesterday by Marshal Glover and Lieut..
Smith. of the Alexandria police force,on
the ferry boat Belle Haven, arriving at
:he Seventh street wharf at O'Clock.
The Fourth precinct patrol wagon was
in waiting when the boat landed, and
drove the party to the Office of Marshal
Wilson, in the CityHall. Desmond's bail
was fixed at So 900, and he being unable
10 furnish it was consigned to Jail. AS
Desmond was being led from the court
room to the cage in the basement a
sensational scene TRANSFERRED in the lob
by Of Judge Coles courtroom. Attor-
ney Eugene O'Neill and District Attor-
ney Birney had a controversy at the
rear door of the courtroom which lead
very nearly to blows, and Mr.. Birney
was obliged to call upon deputy mar
shals to arrest o'Neil. 1t is thought
there is something more in this De:.
,aond- Williams safe robbery case than
has yet come to light and it is hardly
apparent upon which side Mr.. O'Neiii
is attached. Detectives Weldon and
Horne, who were in this city yesterday,
confidently believe that Desmond is
guilty, and that they will have suili-
Gent evidence to convict him. Since
the night of the Jackson City arrest
the detectives have succeeded in dig
ging up two grip sacks at Harry Chan
ier's place, where Desmond was arrest
ed. One of the valises belonged to
Desmond and the other to Jack Demp-
sey, both being found under porch in
the rear of the place. In Desmond's
valise were found several peculiar dy-
Mantle cartridges exactly like those
found lying on the floor in the steam
boat office the day after the robbery.
1t is believed that the officers have
other convincing proof which will be
adduced at the trial.
