GRAND JURY DISCHARGED
Because New Jury Law Is In Effective
Prisoners Entered Pleas Of Guilty and
Sent to Territorial Penitentiary.

The territorial grand jury was sud-
denly discharged yesterday morning at
Albuquerque, without having finished
the work before 1t. At the meeting Of
the supreme court judges, held in Las
Vegas on Wednesday, it was decided
that the new jury law is in effect, and
since the grand jury for this county
was drawn under the old law, Judge
C~rumpacker thought best to discharge
the jury. Before being dismissed the
jury returned five indictments in cases
where the accused signified a desire to
plead guilty. The following are the in
dictments returned, and the sentences
imposed upon the prisoners by the
court: Lloyd Elder, colored, robbery,
one. year in the ~penitentiary; R. w. Gill
lett, forgery, one year in the peniten-
tiary; George Cunningham, burglary,
n year in the penitentiary; William
st. Clair, theft of a bicycle, one year in
the ~penitentiary; Luis Sanchez, assault
with intent to kill, two years in the PEN
itentiary.

The CAPITOL BUILDING.
Construction Progressing Favorably, with
Work Begun on the Great Portico-
Plasterers and Timers Will Soon
Be Here from Denver.

Work is progressing favorably on the
capitol building, and an inspection of
the structure yesterday afternoon
showed that it ought to be ready for oc-
cupancy earlier than is generally
thought. The derricks are in position
for setting up the great columns in the
pOrtico, and the bases for the same will
be in place by tomorrow evening. 1t
was the intention to flute all of the col
umns after erection, but owing to the
proximity of the columns when up some
Of the 1uting must be lone while they
are down on the ground.
The stone and brick work of the capt.
toll will be completed with the porch
| work, and that will now be pushed rap
idly to completion. The cornices are fin
ished around the wings, and when the
roof balustrades are painted and sand
ed they will look well enough. OF
course stone would present a better ap-
, p%earance, but that would cost a good
deal more, and consequently is not to be
thought of. The dome is all ready for
lIlC IlIlIlCIot wiz Will NC llcIC lIOIl DCll-
+, yer within 10 days. They will sheathe
the dome and complete the lantern, the
! supports for the latter being now in po-
sition. The mechanics have done all
timers have had their innings. The
| electrician will not wire the dome until
all other work about it is finished. The
general electric wiring is now well adj
yanced, and the plasterers, who are ex-
| pected here now most any day, can
| start in without delay, as the electri-
| clan is we'll out of their way, and half
of the interior is already lathed. The
lathing is in sheet-iron panel strips, and
costs twice. as much as wooden lath
would cost. But the use of metal re-
duces the risk from fire rs per cent. A
good share of the flooring is %deadened;
! that is, clean sand and gravel is spread
under the wooden flooring, so that any
noise made above will not be apprecia-
| BILE to any extent in the apartments be-
low. None of the flooring is as yet down,
| so that visitors must walk with eau
| tious tread to avoid falling through the
joists, except where the deadening has
been put in. When the plastering is fin
ished the floors will be laid. The stair
ways will be in iron frame, with hard
wood tread. The hall of representatives
is a fine large room, capable of seating
comfortably a body four times the size
Of the present house, and there is a COM
modious gallery for spectators. The
council chamber is destined to be quite
a fine affair, with elaborate plaster
work in the ceiling, and handsome fur
nishings. The supreme court room is
spacious. The library will prove an at
tractive apartment. The gravel roofing
is a neat and effective piece Of work.
Construction has now reached that
point where the finishing work can be
rapidly pushed, so that in the course of
the next 80 days a great deal can be
done.
