HOTEL FREDERICK.

While the rains have considera-
bly, interfered with the work of
laying the foundation for the new
Hotel Frederick, being erected by
Mr.. Eugene Gnlllot. contractor,
yet very satisfactory head way has
been made, all things considered.
A few more days OF good weather
will enable the finishing OF the
concrete part of the walls up to
the soil surface hne.
The foundations of this building
will be the strongest aud most en-
during of any building in this city.
They VIII be practically one piece
of stone, amply reinforced by
twisted steel rods laid longitude
nally and cr0sswlse. This style
Of construction is new here,
there being but few buildings
here of sufficient weight to justify
such foundation construction.
Quantities of brick and sand
are being received daily for the
walls The front of the building
will be flushed in pressed brick.
In the side walls will be used the
hard brick from Slldell, La.
The contract for the plumbing
of the building was awarded to
Mr.. +. }. Ribbeck, of this city.

For The past several days two

to + J. Carstens by his father
from New Iberia, where they were
raised by him, aud arathe largest
specimens Of the caulitlower ever
seen in this part of the State. As

hibition in any agricultural expo

INAUGURAL CEREMONIES

President elect Wilson is show
ing his Jeffersonian simplicity in
the matter of his inauguration.
Heretofore, the Inaugural cere.
monies have been followed by a
magnificent ball in the evening
usually held in the Pension Office.
As the Republicans control the
Public Buildings there seems to
he a reluctance on the part of the
Depar rtmental officials to allow the
Pension Office to be used for this
purpose, as they claim it necess;
tates the suspension Of work by
the several thousand clerks for
three Or four days and OF course
the Government loses the salaries
for that length Of time. 1t seems
to be the intention at the present
time to hold huge reception in
place of the ball, under the Cap
tOl dome so that the many visitors
to Washington can have the priv
ilpge of greeting the Pre- -ident.

BIRDS OF PASSAGE.

This beautiful city has been es.
pecIaily attractive this winter to
The "Weary Willie" tourist, If one
may Judge by the numbers Of
them seen upon Oh" streets We
do not know that all Of them ara
bad and unworthy of sympathy.
There may be many an honest
heart and willing soul in their
ranks, but the people Of this city
have not the means TO "help' III
any form the great numbers who
have visited us this winter.
It is quite certain that there are
many III this scattered army who
crave a drink more than they do d
square meal. This class of men
do not want work, while pretend
ing they do, and they are the
least to be trusted While we
have not the evidence before MS
which would convict, YET the fre-
quent disappearance of the milk
bottle from the font Steps in the
early morning hours, beginning at
time equal with the appearance
OF the tramp, has prompted wide
spread suspicion and accusation
Of that class. SO great have been
the losses OF one family reported
TO us that they had to have their
milk left at the corner grocer.
These conditions make the
tramp, guilty OF not, unwelcome.
There is a growing feeling against
them, indicating a popular desire
that they he denied a hayan here.

EXPLOSION CAUSES FIRE.
Flames I'm Warehouse OF Texas OIL
Company Result in Damage
Amounting to $4,000.

Anderson, Aug. "a spectacular
tire occurred here early this afternon
when the warehouse and contents of
the Texas Oil company, situated on
the yards of the Blue Ridge railway,
near the union station, were totally
destroyed entailing loss of $4,000,
with partial insurance.
The fire originated in q peculiar
manner, coming as q result of the eX-
plosion Of five gallons of gasoline
which 0. T.. Taylor local agent Of the
company, was preparing to feed to
his automobile, which was standing
on the inside of the warehouse. Mr..
Taylor opened his battery box, which
Is fixed on the running board of the
machine, to get a wrench which he
used in unloosening the tap on the
gasoline tank of the automobile. After
unscrewing the tap he dropped the
wrench back into the battery box,
which either caused the wires in the
box to short circuit, emitting sparks,
or which caused sparks when the
wrench came in contact with another
piece of metal. The sparks flew in the
gasoline tin can sitting nearby, and
the explosion occurred.
