INDIANA LIMESTONE WINS
John Pierce Will Erect New Federal
Building at indianapolis.

WASHINGTON, April 1O-The
contract for the new Federal
building at Indianapolis was let
yesterday afternoon to John
Pierce, of New York, for 1867
$50.
It Is to be built of Indiana lime
stone.
Pierce's bid was 1,297, 300.
Taking advantage of the alterna-
tives in the bid of Pierce, the
treasury officials scaled it down
$50, $40. The papers will be
signed within day or two, and
the successful bidder expects to
begin work as soon as he can get
machinery and material to Indi-
annapolis.
Deductlng various incidental
expenses, there is a balance of
S91, 900 remaining over and above
the contract price.
This affords an opportunity to
meet any slight alterations that
might be made in the specifca.
tons.
Caldwell & Drake, of Columbus,
Ind, were seriously considered
by the awarding board, but their
lowest bid was $71,667 higher
than the rearranged bid of Pierce.
The successful bidder has con-
structed many large buildings in
various parts of the country.
He is now putting VI the Fed
eral building at Chicago. One of
the great buildings he construct
ed is the new postofice building
here at the capital.

Consumption is a tiger
among diseases. 1t is stealthy
but once started it rapidly
eats up the flesh and DESTROYS

it with ordinary food and med

RETURN OF MISS STONE
Long Captive American Alssionary Ar
rives in New York.

NEW YORK, April 11.-Mlss
Ellen M. Stone, the missionary
who was captured by brigands in
Bulgaria and held for ransom,
arrived here yesterday on the
Deutschland. She looked pale
and worn and said the sea voyage
had made her very i'll. She was
met at the steamers pier by her
brother, Charles A. Stone, and
by many other relatiles and
friends. Miss Stone said the
brigandS were not as fierce as
might have been imagined. They
said many insulting things, but
never struck or peat either her
or her companion, Nine. Tsilka.
"Seven weeks before we were
released a baby was born to Mrs.
Tsllka. The brigands had by
this time become so insulting and
cruel in their remarks that it was
becoming unbearable. The ap-
pearance of the baby stopped all
this, for the reason that the brig
ands of Turkey believe that a
curse will settle on them if they
do harm to a child or It's mother
Our treatment after the birth Of
the baby was excellent. We be-
gan to be better fed, although l
must admit that it was generally
very good. and the sneering re
marks stopped.
''It was when the negotiations
for our release fell through or
became disturbed that we were
subject to our worst treatment.
You are to die twenty days from
now, CT we will put a bullet in
your brain soon, were some of
the pleasant things they said to
u.s."
Miss Stone said she would go
at once to Chelsea, Mass. to see
her mother, who is more than 90
years old.
