What Correspondent Says.
London, Nov. 9. - The Odessa cor
respondent of The Standard, under
date of Nov. S, 8 p. m., sends further
sensational accounts of the riots there.
He says: There have been more hor-
rifying massacres and tiendish cruel
ties, but the districts where these took
place are now cordoned by troops. In
the suburb of Moldovanka alone 1000
victims remained in the streets from
midnight until noon, when the authori-
ties FASTENED to collect and bury the
bodies in great pits in order to conceal
their numbers. Two private doctors
attended more than 800 children of both
sexes who had been horribly gashed
about the head and shoulders with
| sabers."

Hearst has made an unprecedent-
ed campaign, as an Independent can
didate for mayor of New York City
He hardly expects to be elected, but
lie will undoubtedly poll larger
vote than was ever before given to
an independent candidate for that
office. He has had no political ma
chine to promote his interests, but
has demonstrated his power as a
public speaker. He has made eight
or ten speeches every day during
the campaign.

CAPT. MARY's NEW OFFICE.
General immigration Agent, 1. C. R. R
moves Into New Office.

Capt. J. L. Merry, General Immi-
grafton Agent for the Illinois Cen
trial Railroad, with his office force,
have moved into their new building
which is located on the, corner Of
Franklin and Butler streets. For
the past few months the building
has been under the superintendancy
Of its contractor, A. j. Bruce, Of this
city, and was finally completed the
first of the week. Since Capt. Merry
has made this city his headquarters,
he has occupied the basement of the
Carnegie Library building, which is
Just across the street from his build
ing. When it was first understood
that Capt. Merry was to move to this
city, many were interested to know
where his Offices would be located
and after his purchase Of this lot on
the corner of franklin and Butler
streets, it was assured that new
building would be erected by him
for his own use. Now that he is at
home in his new location, descrip-
ton OF the structure seems appro-
pirate.
The building is made of pressed
brick and stone is used in the trim
ming of window and door frames.
Stone steps lead to the corner en-
trance. The pressed brick were
manufactured at Gladbrook, while
the brick in the inner walls, which
are fire proof were burned at Charles
Mattox' kiln in this city. Two large
plate glass windows are in the main
office, looking toward both streets
and on which signs are soon to be
inscribed, which will read as fol-
lows: Illinois Central Railroad, Of
fees Of the General immigration
Agent, and the Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley Railroad, Offices of the Cen
eral immigration Agent. The main
Office is l6xlS feet and IL feet high.
The rooms are tinted a light olive
green shade and the woodwork is of
hard pine, oil finish. The outside
door was presented to Capt. Merry
by Enoch Brothers & Co., of Jack
son, Mississippi. The door leading
to the private Office is of curly birch,
and was sent by j. j. White & Co.,
of Macombe City, Mississippi. These
lumber firms are the best known,
and most reliable institutions in the
south and to express their apprecia-
ton Of what Capt. Merry has done
for their land. wished to send to-
ken of their own products, which
