Much discussion has arisen relative TO
the roof of the City Hall because of the
departure of the Commissioners from the
beaten track in rejecting the old types for
the new. The artificial stone and concrete
and metal combination construction,
which to the ordinary person may seem
an experiment, is by no means so.
This system of construction is taking
the place OF all other fire-proof material S
in building throughout the world for
floors, for roofs nd for road dbeds.
A valuable addition to the construction
OF the roof Is the running up OF substan-
tial frewalls every 100 feet. BY this
means it will not be possible for a fire to
spread, even if one should accidentally
break out in one of these compartments.
The Fire Department would be able to
confine 1t to one section, and the damage
would therefore be slight, comparatively

June number of Whist:
NOTABLE ADDITION TO OUR STAFF.
We congratulate ourselves and our readers
upon having arranged with George l. Bum,
the well-known whist expert, to take charge
OF our "Wbist Calechism" department. AS
player he ranks with the finest in the country,
and his powers of mastery analysis have
earned him a well-deserved and well-estab-
lished reputation. No depart tment of this
journal more fully combines the features of
present interest aud permanent value than
the "Wh.st Catechism," and it could not possi-
bly, be in more capable care. Mr.. Bunn's ac-
knowiedged ability is now al the service of
our readers, throug these columns, and they
could not have sounder authority to which
TO refer as adviser, or as referee in disputed
points OF play.
Sample copies of this journal will always be
sent free by addressing a letter to the whist
editor of THE SALL.
Whist Editors Not Up to Date.
We notice in some of the Eastern exchanges
the whist editors use the old antiquated way
of locating the players of whist deal by using
the letters A, b, Y, u. Certainly none but the
writer's of these articles, and it is doubtful if
they, can tell anything about the positions
they occupy at whist table. or how the play
goes without they have a guide, pilot, or dia-

As Dun Sees Trade.

New York, Oct. Pr. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
After the heaviest buying ever known
in many branches during September and
the first half Of October, it was both natural
and desirable that more quiet period
should give time for testing the size and
temper Of retail trade, and for distributing
part of the enormous quantities bought. In
textile goods the rush of orders went far
beyond all distributive demand in August.
and represented great replenishment Of
stocks, and the similar rush for goods has
been correspondingly great in other lines
during the past two months. The produce
market acted with as little apparent rea-
son as usual Although Atlantic exports
Of wheat were 3,576,607 bushels, flour in
cluded, and for three weeks of October.
IL, 309, 908 bushels, against 7.742, ga last year.
with western receipts not 100000 bushels
larger, the price advanced 2h cents. Corn
with smaller receipts and exports, barely
a quarter of last year, declined small
fraction. Failures for the week were 224
in the United States, against N4 last year,
and 36 in Canada. against 60 last year.

Awful Destruction.

Madrid, Oct. GA dispatch received
here from Leyte, one of the Philippine

sons have been killed, and that the DAM
age to property is incalculable. The

stroyed the towns of Tagloban and
Harnanion and the island Of Leyte as
well as several villages. 1t is estimated
that 400 persons lost their lives through
the disaster Later advices from Manila
say the cyclone occurred on October IL
and they add that Carigare and Burgo,
on the eastern coast of Leyte, have been
wiped out and that an immense wave

handed Chagru. on the SANTANA range,
Gen. Sir Yeatman-Biggs sent the Sec
ond division Wednesday morning to dis
lodge them. The position was very

along which the attacking force, con-
sisting of the Gurkha regulars, the Dor
setshire regiment was obliged to climb
in Indian file, three batteries mean
while Smelling the Sangars. The Brit
ish suffered temporary check when
they reached the open space, and were
exposed to an accurate fire. After
prolonged artillery fire the Gurkhas
were reinforced by the Gordon high
landers. Then followed a magnificent
rush across the open space in the face
of murderous fusillade. The enemy
stood their ground till the British
reached the rocks below, down which
the tribesmen could not see to fire, and
then they fled pell-mell. The losses of
the Gurkhas and the Gordon highland
ers were severe.

they emerged from the Jail yards. It
was reluctantly admitted by several Of
them that the disagreement was
brought about by wide difference of
opinion regarding the rings found in
the vat, the testimony of emma and
Gottlieba Schimpke and the testimony
of Kenosha witnesses who positively
testified that they saw Mrs. Louise
Luetgert alive in the Wisconsin town on
May 3, and S. Juror Harlev did not
believe the rings found in the middle

evidence introduced and Barber would
not believe the strong evidence given by

sidered the strong features of the trial
by these jurors.
