Of Representatives from an elliptical

A Curiosity in Acoustics.
Thus began one Of the most curious
of the disputes regarding the Capitol.
The acoustics of this old chamber have
always been a puzzle. Now the Statu-
cry Hall, visitors to the structure to-
day ind cause for wonder in the curl
Gus "whisperings" and the transmits
sion of sound from point to point,
audible on one stone in the pavement,
unheard a few feet distant. DR..
Thornton finally suggested the placing
OF draperies between the row Of mar
BILE pillars at the north end OF the
apartment. This served as a temporary
remedy.
The echoes in the House Of Repre-
sentatives caused continued discussion
between 1920 and 1886, Robert Mills,
an architect under Latrobe, thought
that the trouble arose from the fact
that the walls in the rear Of the col
umns, which partially surrounded the
room, ran at different angles. he

Survivor Tells Story.

The first intimation of the tragedy
came when the little girl, wet and fright
ened, ran screaming to her home on the
hill, and between sobs and screams said
that all the girls and Mr.. Riley were
drowned in the river.
Michael Riley, who lived near the river
front, was accustomed upon his return
from work to take a dip in the river
just before supper. His little daughter
Elizabeth asked to go with him, and she
and several of her little friends were told
to put on some old dresses and come
along. The whole party went into the
water hand in hand, with Riley in the
middle.
They had gone some distance from the
shore when suddenly they all disappeared
beneath the water. having in the dark
ness stepped from the sandbar into the
deep channel. Riley who is said to have
been good swimmer, is thought to have
been made helpless by the girls clinging
to him. The only one in the party to
regain the sandbar was Mary Timiny.
The beach where the accident occurred is
practically deserted after nightfall, and
the screams Of the little Timiny girl
failed to attract anyone to the scene.
After Riley and her playmates had dis
appeared beneath the water, the child
ran from the beach to her home.
Wash of Steamer Is Cause.
According to the account of the acct.
dent given by the little Timiny girl the
drowning was caused by the excitement
incident to the passage of large river
steamer. Mary says that they had waded
some distance into the stream, keeping
carefully to the sandbar, when the wash
from the steamer caused waves of con.
siderable height to come ashore.
Before entering the water Riley had in
structed the little ones to maintain
tight grasp on each others hands, he tax.
ing place IN the center.
The wash from the steamer created
considerable confusion among the girls
and in the darkness they lost their bear
ings, and before they were aware of
their danger two or three of them had
stepped off the sandbar into the chan
mel, dragging the others with them.
