GREAT EXPENSE OF
REPAIRING CAPITOL
WILL REQUIRE ABOUT $4,000 TO
PUT 1T IN A GOOD
CONDITION.

Atlanta. November 1G.-An inyesti-
cation Of the condition Of the state
house SHOWS that the building is in
such a dilapidated conliti n tnat ii
would require an expenditure Of S94.-
.1o0 to make all the repairs mat are
needed While this is so, the specia
committee, with Representative Stoed
.of Taylor as chairman, will not ask
for more Than 100000. as the commit
Tee believes that this amount IS a3oat
as much as can be secured for the
purpose of repairing the building at
This time and it is quite possible that
the committee will not be able to get
this amount from the legislature
The big end of whatever sum is ap-
propriated will have to 90 for new

building is as fun Of noles as a seive.
This being so. whenever the wca-.ier
is bad the water comes through the
roof. doing much damage. Plaster $
continually falling, endangoring the
lives of people in the building and val
liable records stored in rooms on the
top floor are being ruined and made
worthless for future reference.
Mr.. Collier, tne engineer and gen
elaI utility man VINO has charge Of the
machinery in the building, says that
the elevator is in such condition as
to make it dangerous to ride upon,
and that if the legislature at This ses
sion does not have it worked upon he
will not be responsible for what nap-
pens to the members Of the general
assembly next year who snow weight
He says that instructions have been
given the elevator boy not to take on
bcard more than four people at trip.
Mr. Collier says that in addition to
some Of the parts of the elevator being
almost worn out. there is no safety
device Of any character attached to
the machinery, and if anything gives
way there is nothing to keep the car
from falling to he bottom of he shaft
in the basement.
Mr.. Collier is an experienced ma-
clinist and talks inteIligently upon
such matters He saws IF some
II ing is not done with the elevator
tiis year there will lie no elevator to
use al the next session Of tae general
assembly
The deplorable condition OF the
building and its fixtures is due to tho
fact that session after session the leg
priation for repsr and the builGans
has gone from bad to worse. II IS said
that ne roof has not been painted
since it was placed upon the building.
and that rust has eaten it into holes
everywhere.

LARGE DREDGE CAME
VERT NEAR SINKING
SPRUNG A LEr.> YESTERDAY AND
1T TOOK HARD WORK TO SAVE
THE BOAT.

The large dredge Of Colonel c. p.
Goodyear. which has been very much
in evidence in all matters Of harbor
improvements in Brunswick recently.
and which is anchored in the bay op-
posite the Atlantic Coast Line wharves
came very near sinking Sunday night
and yesterday.
1t seems that an unusually large
leak was discovered on the dredge
early yesterday morning and Tom Re
nero. VINO is locally in charge of the
same, at once came ashore and en-
ployed a force Of hands to do the
pumping. It appears that the leak was
larger than was at first anticipated
and an ordinary force pump failed to
do the work. 1ne men were then put
on the regular dredge pump and BY
constant service managed to save DAe
boat.
The News has it that this dredge is
mot insured and its sinking would have
entailed a severe loss on Colonel
Goodyear and others fnlei 5sled in the
same.

Not in the Trust.

In the matter of trusts the theatre
has not escaped. The theatrical
syndicate now has in its iron grasp
the majority of the theatres of this
country and controls most Of the
stars and dramatic attractions. AS
it is we'll known, the object Of this
trust is not to elevate the stage but
simply to make money.
Although offered many induce
ments. the young actor manager Mr..
Sandford Dodge, has declined them
all and prefers to retain his liberty
to produce only the class of plays
that develop dramatic art, and which
are an honor to the stage rather than
become subserviant to an organiza-
ton whose onl y motto is dollars and
cents.

The valuation of the taxable pro-
petty in the village, for the year 1879,
shows an increase over the preceding
year of upwards of IS per cent.
Our growth is substantial, the
county is ahead of the town. The
foregoing tables show the develop
ment and progress of the county, and
as wonderful and as satisfactory as
are the figures, yet they do not show
more than a proporionatic inc, ease.

Of the land is also held by non-resi-

VERDICT OF I1URDER.
Jury Decides that Fred Mesenbrink
Met Death by Foul r1eans.

Jury Decides that Fred Mesenbrink
Met Death by Foul r1eans.
Coroner Game and Dr.Cuff of Han
cock, had an autopsy last Sunday
morning over the body of Fred
Mesenbrink who was killed in the
town of Horton Wednesday night,
Nov. 19, and the remains were in
tered on Sunday afternoon. The
three days that had elapsed since his
death revealed no direct evidence of
murder, but at the request of relatives
an inquest was held Monday after
noon. Fourteen witnesses were ex-
amined by Attorney Bicknell and
Coroner Game, and the circumstances
connected with the death of Mr..
Mesenbrink were carefully consid
cred. While no motive for murder
was revealed and every indication
seemed to point to the fact that death
was the result of an accident, after
five minutes deliberation, the jury
brought in q verdict that Fred Mes
enbrink had met his death by means
of an unknown weapon in the hands
of an unknown man.
There seems to be a diversity of
opinion as to the cause of his death,
and it will remain mystery Unless
the authorities are successful in find
ing murderer.
