inasmuch as IL enabled him 20 bring 10 what he
hoped was a successful conclusion the work in

pelling by force Of arms if necessary, the aspi-
Tations of the Beers to render themselves inde-
pendent Of British control. Lord Roberts then
paid deeply moving tribute OF gratitude to all
who had worked with him. He added that his
interest in South Africa would not cease on
leaving its shores, but that he should watch its
settlement with the utmost eagerness. Dwelling
upon the necessity for cooperation between the
Dutch and English he said it would be his
proudest boast if he could claim to have done
nothing but what stress of had compelled
to hinder the friendly fusions Of the two races
in the republics. They must try to forgive and
forget all that tends TO bitterness of feeling,
leaving the idea that nothing remained to be
atoned for either side.

FRANK MOSES COMMENT.

OF the 333 newly erected tenement houses
examined by the committees experts recently
31S were found TO contain violations of the law
If Brady had tried TO procure as many injunc-
tiOns as the limited force OF which he complains
could have handled. at least 200 il not 24O
could have been halted until the builders COM
piled with the law. Frank Moss said yesterday:
THAT Tammany gang in the Building Depart
ment is not only allowing much scandalOusly
bad building TO be done, but they are doing il
under the shelter of villanOus building code
largely OF their own compilation. That code con-
tains no less than eighty-one instances where
the Commissioner can modify the provisions OF
the law where he sees fit. You can readily
understand what a club that is hanging over
builders and architects"
Mr. Brady asserted on Monday that when he
allowed a tenement house 10 be built covering
an entire corner lot on the first floor. he did so
under advice from Mr. Otterbourg. who so CON
strued the law. Mr.. OtterbOurg declined TO
tell the committee whether he had done So or
not. pleading the confidential privilege be-
tween counsel and client but he added. with
a sarcastic smile. that II Mr. Brady could pro-
duce any letter containing that advice Mr. OF
terbourg would be perfectly willing to have IL
shown 20 the commission.

Another railroad fatality occurred IN
the vicinity OF Wheeling yesterday,
making quite list for the week The
victim was stranger, whose name is
supposed to b. Robert Melvin jackson.
and a volunteer in the late war. He
was killed BY the Baltimore & Ohio pas
senger train. No :, at Glendale. yester-
day morning about 1880 o'clock. He
was walking along the track and failed
to heed the warnings Of the engineer.
He was dying when picked up, and
death came before he was removed 70
Benwood, where the remains now are
awaiting identification before intermen;
at the countys expense.
This inquest was held by Coroner ..
A. Lacey of Benwood. and dispositions
were taken from Engineer johnson and
Fireman John Carrigan. Engineer
Johnston said that the morning was
foggy and he noticed the man walking
on the track and he blew his whistle
several times. The man got or the
track and then got on again, and then
the engineer repeated the danger whis-
ties and applied the air brake, but in
spite of all precautions the train could
not be stopped in time and 1t run the
fellow down.
He was picked up and put on the
train, but he died on the way to Ben
wood. His leg was broken and his
head frlghtfully crushed. on his per-
son were found 4 Bible a hymn book,

ceased was of a religious turn. An tn

THE new WORK HOUSE

Project Discussed Last Night by the
Council Committee on Poliee-The
Police Department Wants $4,000
for the Year 1900.
The worlhousa problem was infor-
mally discussed by members OF the
council committee on police last night,
a topic that has become almost thread
bare. The prospects for new work
house depend on whether the finance
committee will increase the appropria-
ton Of the police committee this year.
No business was transacted by
the committee. no quorum being
present. and matters connected
with the workhouse were therefore
discussed informally. The members
present were Messra " A. Chew,
Bradbury and Fox.
The committees appropriation last
year was $4,000, and II hopes TO get
$50. 0OO this year, which will provide
sufficiently for the building OF a sub
stantial structure In pace OF the pres
ent inadequate one. The old water
works reservoir site on wheeling NH
Is an ideal location, and It meets with
general favor. II has splendid drain
age facilities. and all the stone required
for the building. When bids were
asked for new workhouse few years
ago the lowest received was $500,
since which time the price OF materials
and labor has Increased, but owing TO
the stone on hand, the committee Is
of the opinion that new workhOuse
can be built easily with 5000. To this
end there viii be strong pressure
brought TO bear on the finance commit
tee. and their venture will doubtless
meet with hearty support.
Some time ago the four guards at the
workhouse asked for an increase in
salary from $40 to $50 month, and
the request would have been acted on
last night had quorum been present.
The opinion was expressed by the
three members present. in speaking
along the line Of what each meal fur
nished to the prisoners costs the city.
that great saving has been effected
under Superintendent Woods regime.
Mr. Woods is n practical man, and has
had experience as a cook. and is maxi
ing quite Il record as superintendent.
