to tho diligent workers, two twenty-live
pound canisters of gunpowder. If this had

night in company with his running mate,
Ben AIL They had come directly from
New Orleans, and Ali's pack of goods came
along on the same train, but Ihrim’s pack is
still missing, and the poor old Mussulman is
in a peek of trouble over it. It was checked
through to St. Augustine, atid he saw it
taken from the baggage car in Jacksont ille,
but since then all traces of it Rave been
lost, apparently, although hois assured l>y
the railroad authorities that it will doubt

contained goods valued at $4,500, princi

A number of orange growers and citizens
of Oviedo and Lake Charm met at Oviedo
a day or two ago. The secretary was re
quested to read a communication from the
Railroad Commission, which included a let
ter from VV McCoy, General Freight and
Ticket Agent of the South Florida railroad,
in which he stated that the rates on the
K & I. [{. branch were so low prior to Dec.
1 that they would have been {advanced any
way if the commission had taken no action.
Mr. McCoy also asserted that iffthe old
rates were restoml. the commission would
hear from the merchants, as rates on mer
chandise) were greatly reduced. The meet
ing developed the fact that the merchants
of Oviedo would prefer the old rates,
for they claim that the little saving
o t their freight is not to be considered
against the advance, not only on oranges,
Imt on fertilizers, hay and grain. The views
of the various gentlemen who addressed the
meeting were that while they desired t o deal
fairly with the company, it the officials
would not accord to their request, they
would resort to steamboat transportation.
On motion a committee of one was appointed
to confer with President Ingraham. Rev.
R. W. Lawton was appointed such commit
tee. Capt. M. E. Brock was appointed a
committee to consult with steamboat officials
as to rates. Thereat intent of the meeting
was expressed iu the following resolution,
which was offered by < apt Brock, and
t adopted: Whereas, By information con
i veyed to us by officials of ihe South Florida
Railroad Company, whereby that company
; refuses to comply wit h the request to return
:to their former rates; therefore, lie it
| resolved, that we, the merchants and
orange glowers of I Iviedo and Luke Charm

with the hope that the company will accede
to our reasonable demands, but in the event
: that they are not disposed to do so. we shall

DUEL WIiH A DOG.
: Mr. Hugues' Terrific Encounter With
Hia Pet Cur.
/V. mi the Mew York star.
j Tho loud, shrill scream of a woman, at
I 2:80 o'clock Saturday morning, attracted
the attention of Henry Freeman and Will
iam Schwartz, as they sto -I at the corner
of Third avenue* and East 117til street. The
'sounds were ma lt' by Mrs. Edward Hugues,
of No. 2150 Third avenue, whither the
young men proceeded hastily, *>nd were im-
by the woman to come in and save
her husband s life.
Hugues keeps a small cigar store, a barber
shop being in the rear. In this latter apart
ment Freeman nnd Schwartz found Hugues
prostrate oil the floor, struggling fiercely
with a huge dog, which had already bitten
him in several places.
Freeman seized n chair, and belabored tho
vicious brute, while Schwartz tried to drag
him from the prostrate man.
Every blow tiiat fell on the infuriated
animal seemed to heighten bis anger and
make him fight all the harder. Not for a
moment would the dog loosen his hold upon
his breathless and suffering adversary, who
lav bleeding on the floor. Une heavy blow
splintered the chair, but bad no effect upon
the beast, which clung to his fallen master
like a lion to his prey, despite the united
efforts of both the young men to free the
unfortunate man.
In the wild excitement of the moment no
one seemed to have presence of mind to
shoot or stab the beast, and the iv|ieated
screams aud yells of the frantic wife brought
Private Watchman David Bull to the scene,
who immediately joined in the attack.
All this time the bruised und bleeding
man was writhing in agony and calling to
the crowd, who had. by this time gathered,
to save him.
‘'Kill the brute! cut his throat!” yelled
tile victim, as he held on to the dog’s ears to
keep him tram tearing off the flesh from his
lateral ed neck.
I hcn it wus that Watchman Bull thought
of liis revolver, und quick as a Uadi lie
pulled it and emptied the five chambers at
the dog. but without effect, for only one
ball entered liis Iddv, and that merely
served to infuriate him all the more.
Tin leportof the pistd threw the entire
neighborhood Into a great state of excite
ment, ami a )s>sse of poUeemen came run- j
nine to the sjiot. but none had a ] idol, and
ail the clubs in the precinct would not serve
any purpose. Finally I’olieeman Mci ail
got a long sword, and after several tlespor

The wounded man wins taken to the Har

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. JANUARY 3, 188$.
GEORGIA’S NEW CAPITOL.
Condition of the Structure Jan. 1,
1888—The Cost to Date.
From the Atlanta (Oct.i Constitution.
The General Assembly of Georgia, at its
session in 188.1, passed an act providing for
the erection of a State capitol building,
which received the executive approval on
Sept. 8, 1883. It contemplated that six
years would be consumed in the erection of
the building, but the building was to be
completed Jan. 1, 1889, and the appropria
tions were made: First year, 9100,QUO; five
subsequent years, SIBO,OOO each. But’ a
year*was lost between the introduction and
passage of tho bill, leaving in reality only
live years for that purpose.
The city of Atlanta surrendered to the
Sriite authorities, duly cancelled, the out
standing lien against the present capitol
building in the name of the Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance Company. On Oct.
4, 1883, Messrs. E. P. Alexander, Phillip
Cook, Benjamin E. Crane, A. L. Miller and
IV. W. Thomas took the oath of office and
filed their bonds as Capitol Commissioners.
The board organized by electing Mr. W. H.
Harrison as Clerk.
On Oct. (1, 1883, they advertised for plaus
for the proposed capitol building, fixing the
time of opening the bids or. Dec. 10, 1888,
but on Nov. 13 the time was extended until
noon of Jan. 16, 1884.
Mr. George B. Post was secured as coil
suiting architect, and the designs for the
building were opened on Jan. 10, 1884, and
submitted to Mr. Post on Feb. 4. On Feb.
11 he reported, and the board selected the
design submitted by Messrs. Edbrooks &
Barn ham, they agreeing to certain modili
cations. Messrs. Edbrooks & Barnhain
were appointed supervising architects, and
instructed to prepare duplicate and litho
graph copies of the principal plans, sections
and elevations, etc.
On April 3, 1884, the board advertised for
proposals for furnishing materials and con
struction of the Georgia State capitol build
ing, to be submitted by July 15, 1884. On
tho day specified tho board met and re
jected all the bids, because none of them
would enable the building to lie erected
within the limit of the uinount fixed by
law. The board re advertised, mid on Sept.
20, 1884, met and accepted the alternate
bids of Messrs. Miles and Horn, amounting
to $802,756 76. A contract with Messrs.
Miles and Horn was approved and executed
on Wept. 30, 1884.
The board finding tiiat more land was
needed to square the lot, obtained from the
city a deed to the part of McDonough street
necessary, and purchased land from citi
zens, paying therefor $90,600.
The old City Hall building was sold on
October 15, 1884, for $985, and
ground broken for the new building
on the 26th of October, 1884,
one year after the passage of the act. On
Septcmlier 2, 1885, the corner stone was
laid. Commissioner R. E. Crane having
died on January 15, 1885, Hon. Evan I’.
How ell was appointed his successor.

front on Washington street shows a central
projection imposing in its dimensions, the
mum entrance being emphasized by a
massive portico. The design combines, in a
high degree, the qualities of dignity, ele
gance aud impressive simplicity. An idea
of tho proportion and size of tho building
may be gathered from its dimensions. The
east and west fronts are each SfiiS feet 1 inch
long, while the north aud south fronts are
1 7~feet li inches.
The width through the centre, from east
to west, including tho portico, is tit'- ieet * j

Senate and the committee rooms.
An open rotunda, in the centre of the
building, extends from the basement
through the upper stories to a height of 172
feet. Two giand light shafts rise to a
height, of eignty feet on tiie north and south
side of the rotunda. A grand stairway in
the corridor gives access to the upper floors.
The dome will rise above the main roof, ex
clusive uf the statue, to a height of Hi i feel
and Ixi surrounded by a colonnade appro
priately embellished. The full height of the
dome is 237 feet 4 inches.
The pediment over the main entrance is
supported by six monolithic columns.
STATUS OK THE WORK TO-DAY.
All the stone work has been completed
except that which goes into the dome. The

w ill begin in February. All tho exterior
work is finished. Tho floors, arches of
brick and hollow tile are ready for placing
in the cement and marble floors in the halls,
and wooden flora-s iu the offices. Fire-proof
and burglar-proof vaults for the preserva
tion of the public documents are on every
floor. Tho work of putting in plumbing is
now going on simultaneously w ith fitting
up the interior of the offices. All that, can
conduce to comfort and dispatch of business
is embraced in the general plan.

in marble stairs, and completing the dome
will have to lie done this year so that the
new capitol may tie really on next New
Year’s day for occupancy.
