A NEW SYNAGOGUE.
The Building Committee is Now Con.
sfdering Plans.

The building committee of the Washing
ton Hebrew congregation is now busiIy en-
gagged going over the several sets Of plans
for new house of worship, to take the
place Of the Eighth Street Temple. Plans
for this structure have been submitted nv
Paul ]. Pelz. w. ]. Palmer and Louis F.
Stutz. all having had instructions to pro-
vide an edif1ce that would seat not less
than ,250 people, and to conform in a gen
eral way to the style of architecture fol-
lowed in the construction of synagogues
During the past two weeks the building
committee has held numerous meetings, but
has not yet reached any decision on the
plans. 1t is believed, however, that by next
spring all matters pertaining TO the new
temple will be in form to permit the con-
struction of the building to commence.
The Few temple will cost about $4,000
nearly one-half of which amount has been
raised. The Hebrew fair held last winter
secured about $4,000, and an additional
$4,000 has been subscribed by members OF
the congregation, though not all of 1t has
yet been paid in. The cash IN hand, how
ever, Is sufficient to justify beginning the
work, and the building committee is now
only delaying In order to decide upon the
plans

MARKETMEN COMPLAIN.
Their Stalls Made Uncomfortable By
DrfppfnGs From the Ice Palace.

1neAr Stalls Made Uncomfortable By
Dr1ppfnGs From the Ice Palace.
Ine market men Of the Northern Liberty
Market are complaining Of the state of af-
rairs which they say has existed ever since
the water was turned into the big tank Of
the Ice palace overhead The trouble is in
the percolauon Of the water through the
bottom of the tank and then down through
the ceiling OF the market. Although none
OF the leaks is large enough to form q
stream OF water. the constant dripping is
decidedly uncomfortable and sufficient to
damage the products offered for sale.
When a Star reporter visited the market
this morning the superintendent had erect
ed large squares of canvas over the stands
where the dripping was heaviest This
Kept the water in some measure from the
goods displayed by the market men, but
the place presented a damp. chilly aspect.
to dry out the air and do away with the
dampness as much possible.
One OF the owners Of stand in converse
ton with the reporter said:
1--WE have been suffering from this con-
stant dripping ever since the water was
turned into the tank Saturday night,
and. although the state of affairs is
slightly better than 1t has been. still you
can see for yourself how uncomfortable 1t
is All day Sunday there was a heavy
shower in the market and the floors were
flooded, damaging goods considerably.
suppose soon the cold weather comes
and allows the Ice upstairs to be frozen
solid this dripping will cease. but that
prospect will hardly compensate us for the
loss in trade, especially the Thanksgiving
day trade, of which we lost fully one-third
on account Of the water. and will not mend
the injury done to the health of men COM
PEELED to stay here all day long. We have
sent for the health officer to come up and
see what can be done about It, and. al
though that action was taken at least five
days ago, that official has not yet put in
an appearance. He did come last year
when the same trouble took place but
stayed only five minutes, and then did
nothing about the matter at all.
You can judge for yourself what 1t
means to stay in this damp place all day.
We have lost a great deal I'm trade and a
number Of people have said that they
would not patronize the market any longer.
Although offer has been made to pay
us for the cost price of goods damaged that
will cut no figure when the loss of patron
age is considered. But l do not suppose
that anything can be done, and all We have
got to do is to wait and pray for extremely
ice upstairs solidly, and this will in some
measure, l think, stop the leaks
The trouble seems to be in the central
and west central parts of the market, while
the southern portion is free from the at
tacks of water. AS far can be learned
the weather is to be blamed more than any
other cause for the trouble, and the oDin-
ion among the market men seems to be
that a freezing temperature outside Will
give relief from the menace to property
and health.

street between 9th and 10th, this morning.
Nine chances out of ten the same accident
would result seriously or fatally. A car of
the Metropolitan road was going east on
street and another west. johnson seems
to have seen the east-bound car and start
ed to cross the tracks in front of it. Just
as he got across one track he saw the west
bound car almost upon him. He stepped
back quickly to avoid being struck by it
and was struck on the right arm by the
corner Of the east-bound car. He was
knocked to the pavement between the two
cars, each Of which was stopped as soon as
possible. So soon as it was seen the acci-
dent was not serious the cars resumed
their journey.
