SANDSTONE QUARRIES THERE
WILL BE VISITED BY THE CAP
ITOL COMMISSIONERS
BEFORE ANY AWARD Is MADE.
MEMBERS SPEAK HIGHLY OF WI
MONA STONE, BUT THAT ISN'T
TAKEN TO MEAN
:FORE ANY AWARD is MADE.
THAT 1T WILL BE SELECTED.
Mr.. seabury Thinks 1t Will Be Some
Days BEFORE a Decision Is
Reached.

The members of the state capitol
commission returned yesterday noon
from their jaunt to Winona, whittier
they went to look at the quarries of
the Winona limestone. The entire
board, with the exception of Ed Weaver,
went on the trip, and they crowded
great deal of sightseeing into thirty
six hours.
On arriving at Winona they were met
at the depot by a delegation of the
prominent citizens of the place, and
after dinner were taken in carriages
to the quarries about two miles from
town. A careful examination was made
with special reference to the quantity
of stone in sight, its quality and the
formation of the strata. Yesterday
morning the board took the train for
Bear creek, twenty miles distant, where
another large quarry is located. The
stone is practically the same kind as
at Winona. The commissioners were
we'll satisfied with the outlook and
speak very highly of the stone-but
whether or not it will enter into the
construction of the new building is an
other matter 1t was determined rot
to hold a session of the board yester
day and the meeting now stands adj
journed until Monday afternoon. Most
of the out of town members left for
their homes to spend Sunday.
The headquarters of the board in
the Endicott building were again
thronged with interested contractors
and stone men yesterday afternoon,
and among the callers was Ed Weaver
one of the commissioners. He stated
that he would be unable to attend the
board for several days, but expressed
desire that the commissioners would
pay visit to the Kettle river sand
stone quarries before taking final ac-
ton, and also wished to be one of the
party. 1t is very likely that they will
visit several others of the quarries in
this vicinity before arriving at con-
clusion.
All this means that the board will not
let the contract for several days YET
at least. Charming Seabury, the vice
president. said to a reporter for the
Globe that the matter will prob
ably not be decided for some time; the
board is anxious to investigate the
merits of the different kinds of stone
thoroughly before making it's choice
and there is no prospect of an imme-
date agreement upon anything. At
any rate the contract will hardly be
let without the presence of all the COM
miSSionerS.

port as yet, and I rather doubt if it is

a chance to examine it, if it proves to

Ethan A. Hitchcock, of st. Louis, the
newly appointed minister to Russia,
arrived here today, and paid his re-.
spects to the president. The vice presi-
dent and Mrs. Hobart were numbered
among the missing when President
Mckinley returned. Mrs Hobart has.
for the past few days, been in poor
health, and her physicians believed she
would improve more rapidly at home.
Upon this advice it was decided yes
terday to return to New Jersey, and
the vice presidential party left on q
late afternoon train. 1t is expected
that they will return later to finish out
the season.
Later, the president, Mrs. Mckinley,
Mrs. Abner Mckinley, Miss Mckinley,
Secretary of War Alger, Mrs. Alger
and Miss Alger, after witnessing dress
parade by the soldiers of the nearby
post, took a special train for Port Hen
ry to be the guest of Frank Wither-
bee. Mr. Witherbee was the opponent
in the last Republican convention OF
the congressional district of the pres
ent congressman, Wallace T. Foote,
and to some here today there was po-
litical significance in the visit. The
party took dinner at Mr.. Witherbee's.
Before leaving, Gen. Alger said: "You
may say that there has as yet no in
timation reached me of the report on

BITTEN BY A DOG.
Mrs. Kate Taylor Attacked by "a ST.
Bernard.


Mrs. Kate Taylor, colored resident
of Paradise Alley" in the rear of COG
Robert street, was in state of nervous
excitement last evening over A dog
bite received during the afternoon. The
woman lives in the neighborhood where
Amelia Branch and an Italian boy are
supposed to have died from hydropho-
bia last spring and the fact that the
dog which bit her is said to have run
rampant with the canine thought to
have caused the death of the children
when it was terroriZing the neighber-
hood, causes Mrs. Taylor much uneasi-
ness of mind.
The dog is a female ST. Bernard,
owned by e. Bentley, 59S Robert street,
but aside from having the responsible
ity of family on her hands at the
present time, is not considered vicious.
nor is she believed by her owner to
have been in company with the dog
alleged to have been afflicted with
rabies. Mrs. Taylor stopped at the
pack gate to talk to Miss Bentley yes
terday afternoon, and says the dog
sprung at her throat She turned and
ran when the animal sank it's teeth
into the flesh of her right leg above
the knee. The flesh was somewhat
lacerated, but the dog made no further
attack. Aside from the cases of sup
posed hydrophobia in the neighborhood
several months ago, Mrs. Taylor says
she would feel little alarm, but the
fear that Mr.. Bentley's dog might
have been bitten by the brute with
rabies renders her extremely appre-
hensive, though she had not last even
Ing yet consulted a physician.
