Since ., the building trade in this
city has not Nnjoyed a boom. and one
would be extremely welcome now to the
men who put up buildings. Abrisk sea-
son IS expected. but builders do not
speak very enthusiastically over the
prospects that are now presented. yet
there Is some time to elapse before the
season really opens.
The open winter. said q prominent
builder yesterday. would have impei,ed
people desiring to build, to submit the
contracts for the work, and he argued
further, that much OF the talk people
indulge in about building often falls to
the ground. after the estimates are fur
nlshed. Plans In architects Offices, he
said. called for several residences on
the Island. notably one to be built for
Mr.. George Peabody. The out-the-p!lSe
territory would also come to the front
as usual. as soon as the season Is more
advanced. n
In the city proper. Mr.. F. II. LanEe
VIII remodel the property on Main
street, formerly occupied by Harper &
Bro. for a hotel and the Central Dis
trict Printing and Telegraph Company
will erect a fine building on Chapline
street, opposite the court house. The
contracts are yet to be let for both
buildings.
Builders hope for heavy demand for
work In their line. and some OF them
speak quite confidently OF what the year
has In store. There will doubtless be
much OF the usual repairing and remod-
cling. but II there Is any great amount
OF new work to be done II has yet to
come to the surface. All things consid-
cred, the present winter has been q
pretty fair one. and several houses now
nearly completed, re-echoed the sound
Of hammer and saw almost unintcr-
ruptedly, owing to the mild weather.

BUILDERS EMPLOYEES
Thinking of Adopting the Old Union
Card System.

Gard System.
There is movement on foot among
local unions OF the building trade, to
effect q consolidation. or building trades
council, similar to that which prevailed
In the city a few years ago. but which
went to the four winds about the time
OF the carpenters strike. This council
would include the carpenters. painters.
brlcklayers, stonemasons, timers and
plumbers. 3
There are several obstacles in the way
OF its success, chiefly from the fact that
not all the building trades are well or
gained, and the difficulty always exists
OF having to enforce the presentation OF
the union card from each member OF
the trades represented on building.
The scheme has been talked of for sew
eral weeks, and meeting of the unions
may soon be called. 1t was discussed
informally after yesterdays trades as
sembly. but It would have TO be in
shape soon to be ready for the building
season, which Is near at hand. Those
connected with the council a few years
ago. say they would avoid the shoals
which wrecked the former organization.

FOR CITY OFFICES.
Numerous Candidates in the Field, All
Anxious TO Get There.


Anxious to Get There.
Although the next city election is
nearly year of, the local political pot
Is beginning to get warm, and II the
present heat is continued and added 10
as is promised. the aforesaid pot will be
boiling over long before the time ar
rives for the voters to make their choice
OF who will be the officers for the follow
ing two years.
The greatest fight will be made for the
nominations on both sides Of the pollti-
cal fence, and the eagerness with which
the various gentlemen who are anxious
10 serve the city. are after the nominal
ton for the respective positions 10 which
they aspire. seems TO indicate that
everybody thinks that the result OF the
primaries, practically insures their cleo
ton.
On the Republican side there is not
so much activity as on the other. Mayor
Butts will be a candidate for reelection,
and SO far no other name has been men,
toned In that capacity. For chief Of po-
lice Billy Clemens, who for the past
three years served so faithfully under
Chief Bennett, Is the foremos. candidate
Several other gentlemen are spoken OF
but have as yet made no announcement
Of their intention to make the canvas.
No name except that of Clerk Watkins
Is mentioned for city clerk so far and as
to wharfmaster. Mr.. Norring.on Is the
only person 81 far spoken of, but It can
be said that the last named gentleman
has his weather eye on higher office.
but has as yet not made up his mind to
come out after 1t.
With the Democrats there Is
abundance Of candidates for every office.
For mayor, Messrs. John Waterhnuse.
William Bingham and ex-Sheriff W. C..
Handlan, are talked OF. For chief OF
police. Jimmy" Nichols the coll
lector for the Schmulbach Brewing
Company, Is n candidate and his friends
seem to think he will have no trouble in
getting the nomination. John Shorts,
the B. & o. detective, and John Ritz,
OF the North End are also candidates.
For city clerk Louis Schwartzbach Will
again be candidate, and for wharf
master. the boys are trying to swing
John Crockard back Into line for another
race.
Taking all In all, there will be times
most lively when the various aspirantS
peel their coats on and get to work in
earnest.
