A DAY OF ALL SORTS.
A Little Rain-wind Does Damage 10 Trees
"A Fine Night.

1t was day of about every kind Of
weather. Friday. The first rain of any
account which has fallen for some time
came down. at noon. There was none
too much of it.
The gale which struck the city, about
o'clock =. NJ. was a fierce one, and in
its method of attack was not unlike the
disastrous one which landed. a week
ago Sunday. There was an ugly storm
cloud for a warning. The cloud of dust
which arose from the city was fairly
choking.
A maple tree blew down on Cushnoc
Heights, which was over two feet
through at the base. A large limb is
also reported to have been broken off
on the State House grounds. No loss
of barns or houses has been reported.
and it is hoped that all have blown
down that will. for some time at least,
After the storm cleared out, the
weather was the finest of the fine: a
great relief after the sitting heat of the
day. The luminiferous moon made the
world all the more beautiful with its
effulgent white light.

A Brothers. View OF York's Death.

g. y. Jacques. a brother of the de-
ceased. wishes the Journal to state
that according to the opinion Of him.
self and very many OF those who knew
the deceased, Gustarus York did not
commit suicide but met with foul play
Mr.. Jacques says that his brother had
self. He had one Of the best of wives,
young child of whom he was very
fond, and a good home.
He said that he had seen very much
of his brother. had frequently had long
confidential talks with him and never
was led to suppose that Gustavus for a
moment contemplated killing himself.
Among the reasons Mr. jacques gave
for thinking his brother met with foul
play We're: that he had a valuable sill
yer watch, which was missing, fastened
to his vest by a strong bar chain and
at the store where he settled his bill
the night he disappeared he was seen to
put his spockeibook in the deep pocket
there Is believed to have been no
money in that book the fact that it
was missing while the other papers
remained in the pocket, and that the
book which was in much the form Of
bank book, was OF such a kind that
action Of the water would tend to keep
it in rather than work it out of the
pocket looks to him suspicious. The
coat was found buttoned up.
That fatal night Gustavus. Mr.
Jacques says. was seen by several up
by the mill company's stable and re-
marked to them Git was about $40 p
Nd that ii was getting late and his
wife would be expecting him. Leaving
them he took the short cut by what IS
known as the canal road In that
lonely way, according to the theory of
with tramps with the result that he
was killed. The brother also thinks
that the bruises found upon the BODY
could not have been made after death
in the water. 1t is also argued that
the natural place for York to have
drowned himself would have been
above the canal, in which event the
body would have come into the canal
instead of going down river.

On entering the building. the first
matter ia attract attention was the
plastering, on which large crew of
men were busily at work. On it. the
architect expressed the same high
opinion as on the brick work. The
rooms We're all visited and not single
crack. or flaw of any kind was found.
This work of plastering will be COM
pleted, the first of next week.
The hall was visited. Here things
have been cleared away with the ex-
ception of a few stagngs left standing;
and it will not be very long before it
will be ready for the seats of which
there will be 1435.
The new steel ceiling was the subject
of much favorable comment. being Of
an attractive pattern in embossed
squares At the points of intersection
of the figures, drops are set giving an
artistic effect 1t will be appropriately
tinted.
1t was some time ago that Mr. Spot
ford last saw the building, and the
work done during the past few weeks,
he says, has been most satisfactory.
The dedication, which will be held.
July 4, is looked forward to with great
anticipation.

collector of internal revenue, was in

port Of what has been done during the

takes about rs pounds to make 1000

for. would be included in this same
reckoning. Mr. Williams says that the
damage sustained by George B. Morse

not vet been adjusted. as the stock has
not vet been dried. There will probably
be about 1000 pounds loss, Of various

VERY FINE APPEARANCE.
Work on City Building Pronounced Most
Satisfactory by Architect Spoiiord.

In company with Hon. ]. c. Spofford
OF Everett, Mass, and NJ. c. Foster,
ESQ.,, of Waterville, the architect and
builder respectively of the new city
building. a Journal reporter was given
the opportunity of inspecting the struc-
ture. The past few weeks have made
of the exterior and interior, and in all
ways it is most creditable.
First the party inspected the facade.
on Cony street, from the opposite side
walk. The view from this point, just
far enough east to allow one to see
into the entrance to the side door, is
really striking. and at none other is
more attractive. THE brick-work is
exceptionally even,' said Architect
Spofford, In fact. Mr.. Foster. I know
of no better piece of work in my ex-
perience." Closer examination proved
1t to be all that he at first said of it,
and there is not a particle of doubt
but the building is masterpiece in
this respect.
After II close examination of the
brick-work. the party returned to the
opposite sidewalk, and again reviewed
the perspective of the front and side
The rusticated work which extends
along the face, and part of the way
along the east, and also the west side,
is very artistic, and does much to re-
lieve the ordinary monotomy of brick
structures. The arched windows, too.
some double. others single, with arches
radiated to comply. also greatly add to
the character of the appearance. The
finish which has been given the bricks
by coating of linseed oil, gives them
a rich shade which is very desirable
Perhaps as noticible as any part
about the front, are the tall windows
for the hall. between which are long
pilasters, each surmounted with a
pretty Corinthian Gaping, in harmony
with the fluting and other decorations
about the windows. Below the face
stone, on which City Hail." is en-
graved, supported by the two sets of
granite pillars. of superior shade, makes
a striking contrast to the brick.
The window panes and sashes will
be furnished by Bangs Bros. The
sashes will be painted a greenish gray.
Many of these have already been put
in. and the whole effect is now some
pleted. The wires which now extend
before the door, will be raised out of
the way.
