BUILDING RECORD OF 1896.
Permits Issued From the Clerk of
Councils Office.

Permits Issued From the Clerk of
Councils Office.
The number of building permits issued
by the clerk of council last year was 81.
This does not include the permits for re-
pairs, which were issued after having
been passed upon by council and the fire
chief.
These repair permits represent proba-
bly, as much money invested in buildings
as do those issued for new buildings,
many of the buildings improved under
these permits being practically rebuilt.
The total number of new houses rep
resented by these permits is 143. OF this
number % are brick los wood and twelve
merely sheds. Of the brick there were
two one-story buildings, nine two-story,
two three-story, one four-story and one
six-story buildings. OF the wooden build
ings there were 3S one-story, so two-story
and l three story. While the number of
new buildings erected is not as great
as in former years, it is worth while not
ing that there are only 40 one-story build
ings, as against 80 two-story buildings.
The proportion of brick buildings to
frame is fair, nearly 20 per cent Consid-
ering that the year was not one TO en-
courage investment in any form of i'm
provement, the building record for the
year is not a bad one.

ting Aboard the Duchess.
There was great excitement at the
Ocean Steamship wharf yesterday, just as
the Grand Duchess was starting on her
trip to New York. The steamer was
about thirty feet out in the stream, all
the hawsers having been cast off, the
end of the last one about slipping over the
edge of the wharf, when a white man
suddenly rushed forward, caught hold cf
the hawser and deliberately jumped into
the river.
In the minds of a hundred men or more
the thought was that the man meant to
commit suicide. But that was not his
purpose. He held on to the hawser. which
the donkey engine drew in, and directly
the man, clinging to the hawser, ap-
peared above the surface, was pulled up
the great steamers side and was taken
on board. He was all right, except that
he was wet and had lost his hat. The
steamer proceeded on her voyage, carry
ing the passenger who came on board in
such an unusual manner with her.
The facts are these: The man was a sea-
man and had been one of the crew of the
Grand Duchess. Yesterday morning he had
charged. During the day he asked the cap
tain if the steamer would carry him back
to New York. The captain said yes, if the
mate would consent. The mate would not
consent. The man was determined to go
without the mates consent. He fingered
about the wharf until the steamer had
swung out into the stream and could not
well put him ashore if he got aboard, and
then he became a passenger in the manner
related After such an experience he de-
served a free passage, and evidently he

REPORTED AT LAST.
He Didn't Get a Chance During the
War,


Ready wit is sometimes worth more
than long and careful thought. Mr.. Du
Bignon was a young and rising man
who had been sent to represent Georgia
at national convention OF lawyers that
met in the west some years ago. He
was to reply at banquet to the toast:
"The Young Manhood Of the South"
His speech had been carefully prepared,

But at this moment every eye wan
dered toward the door. and lae toast
master sprang to his feet with the well
coming cry: "Gen Sherman
SHERMAN. Sherman" was echoed all
down the table, and the assembly rose
TO greet the great soldier, 1t was long
before the tumult subsidized. but when it
did, something else went with it, Mr..
Du Bignon's speech. He rose slowly to
his feet, and stood silent. The silence
was appalling.
At last he began: Gentlemen. am
COMPOUNDED. The advent of so noted a
warrior as Gen. Sherman has made me
forget every word of my speech'-here
the men all looked anxious and inter-
ested-"but | think you can scarcely
wonder at my confusion. Georgians are
so used to having Gen. Sherman follow
them that it is enough to paralyze any
one of them to be asked to follow the
general"
There was pause for an instant over
the young mans audacity, and then the
room rang with appreciative applause
Of his ready wit Mr.. Du Bignon was
encouraged to remark that he would
tell story about the young manhood
of the south, the very young manhood,
including some personal impressions in
connection with Gen. Sherman.

Opposition to the Compromise Threaten to

That Matters VIII Soon BE Ad justed
big Strike In New York.

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 1.-THE Nation
al Miners convention ad journed until
this morning, when the question of a
settlement of the strike will be defin
itely determined At the time of ad-
journment sub-resolution which the
miners officials confidently believe
will be adopted was under discussion.
The sub-resolution, it is claimed by
the officials, gives the miners all the
protection they could reasonably ask,
since 1t provides for continuation OF
the strike wherever the operators re-
fuse to grant the advance to their
miners. However it seems difficult to
convince the delegates opposed to the
settlement that they are in the wrong.
Secretary Lewis, of Ohio, has been the
most active leader Of the opposition.
and threatened last night, If the ma
tional officials forced matters TO an Is
sue, to spring sensation in the con
vention. The substitute resolution to
be voted upon to-day is as follows:
Resolved, That we ndor,e the recommends
tlon of the national executive board and that
work be resumed on the basis Of d cents IN
western Pennsylvania with d corresponding
advance in all the district, Of The competitive
field and be II further
Resolved, That when such advance Is refused
the suspension Nc continued and that an aSSesS-
fncnt Of ten per cent Of OIL tha money earned
by the miners at work be- collected and used
for the purpose Of maintaining the idle miner,
until such time as the scale rates can be OBJ
tanned for them; and be n further
Resolved, That Il circular appeal be issued by
the national executive board TO organized labor
and to the public generally, asking them to as
slst us in the caring for and keeping Of all mine
workers in the field who are idle for the en-
forcement Of scale rates,
STRIKE FOR THEIR PAY.
NEW York, Sept 1.-The 1000 men

to the Columbus Agreement.


PITTSBURGH, Pa. Sept. l3.-The Pitts

this week will find many mines in this
region in full operation and, to fur
ther this belief, the majority of the
mine-owners have announced that
their pits will be opened this morn
ing in readiness for all Of their men
who wish to ignore the ten-day proviso
Of the Columbus settlement Secretary
Warner, of the miners association,
says the Columbus agreement will be
strictly adhered TO. 1t is not believed,
though, that the officials Of the dis
trict will raise their hands to stop the
men from going to work Immediately.
A district convention of the miners
has been called for Wednesday morn
ing, at which matters of great impor-
lance are to be discussed The con-
vention is presumably called to devise
ways and means for continuing the
fight against such firms as will refuse
to pay the district price, and it is
thought the advisability Of breaking
the ten-day provision and returning to
work at once will be acted on
