bad WEATHER" THE REASON

Chairman Weller. of the public COM
fort committee, is having some trouble
with the occupants of buildings in SEN
ate square. Although the owners of the
property have long ago received from
the government the money for the
houses and lots, many of them are still
occupying their old homes, and it is un-
derstood that Il few have refused to
move out in the bad weather we are
having"
Leases Convention Hall.
Mr.. Weller has received commune
cation from Col w. p Richardson, di-
vision quartermaster of the Pennsyl-
vania National Guard. to the effect that
the brigade has leased Convention Hail.
and will occupy it during their visit
here. This brigade consisting of $500
men, We're assigned TO sixteen buildings
iii Senate square, but they did not think
this was sufficient, and in addition to
these buildings they will have Conven-
ton Hall. Colonel Richardson will be
here in a few days to make arrange
ments for his brigade
1t is understood that the Seventy-first
Virginia Infantry will arrive here by
steamboat from Norfolk, and Will oc-
oupy the steamer during their stay here.
They were assigned to quarters in the
vacant buildings at the Capitol. Com
panies "A, b, and of the Seventieth
Virginia, have asked for quarters in the
square. Although all the buildings
have been assigned Chairman Weller
believe he can accommodate these
companies because the Seventy-first
Virginia will not need all the room as
signed to them.
