J" 6 ' MR.DAYISHUSTLING, He Tries to Make a Big Deal With the Hoosiers, BUT IT STILL HANGS FIRE Back Ewing and Al Johnson Arrive the City. THE SPORTIHG HEWS OP THE DAT resident J. B. Day, of the New York Ieaj;ue Club, failed to make a deal with the Indianapolis club officials. He now wants onlr eight clubs in the League Swing and Johnson arrived in the city and denied minors. Manager Hanlon talks interest ingly about Fred Dunlap. rsrccxAx. tzlxobax to thz DisrATcn.i Isdiaxapot.is, February 19. John B. Day, of the New York Club, arrived last midnight accompanied by Director Gordon, of the same club. Humors were rile to-day that the Indianapolis Club was sold out. President Day this morning said: "lam here after the Indianapolis Club if it is possible to get it We want the whole outfit. President Brush has got together a good, strong club and we want it. It Is well recognized that an eight League club circuit would enable the League to mate a more suc cessful and determined fight against the Brotherhood Of course, if Indianapolis goes oat it would force out one of the other dubs. But the reduction would more evenly Balance the teams.and all would be good. Boston has as good a club as the Brotherhood, Brooklyn has a better one. Philadelphia is as strong and Cin cinnati has no opposition and is enthusiastic over the prospects. 'We would have eight strong cities." MjAKUIN O OTJT A DEAL Presidents Brush and Day and Mr. Gordon were in conference at the former's rooms from II o'clock until 1:30, relative to the baseball deal. The latter two took the 2:30 train for New York. President Day added: "'I made no offer for the Indianapolis club at all. I simply pre sented the ad visibility of an eight-club circuit, as it looks to me. The matter was only dis cussed in a general way, and probably will be brought up at the League meeting at Cleve land. March 4 " President Brush made substantially the same statement. It is well understood here, how ever, that some kinC of an understanding has been .come to between the above parties. The opinion is that since Mr. Day thinks it improb able that he will get tbo majority of his good players back, be is strongly opposinc the ten club plan, believing that if it is discarded he will get the pick of the Indianapolis players. AKOTHEB QUIET BUMOB. It was also quietly stated here to-day that if terms can be come to with President Brush President Hewitt, of Washington, will be will ing to dispose of his club to the National League. A gentleman in a position to know stated this evening that the above opinion is quite correct. Heretofore .President Brush has emphati cally stated that his club was in to stay. He did not say this to-day. If President Day can get a first-class team toeether without Indian apolis' help it is likely that the ten-club scheme will be tried. If he does not, however, Boston. Brooklyn, Philadelphia and one or two West ern clubs will oppose the ten-club scheme. President Day is willing to pay a good price for aii toe oesi piayers, as ue nrmiy Deueves that with them he can defeat the Brotherhood in New York. BUCK PASSES THEOUGU. Be Snya That He Will Stick, to tbe Brother, bood Conditionally, "Buck" Ewing, his wile ana Al Johnson ar rived in the city yesterday morning. Daring a conversation with a reporter Swing talked freely about his case. He stated that Mr. Day bad offered him a very large sum of money to rejoin the New York League club. Tbe offer was emphatically refused, however. Kwing is quoted as saying that if Connor, Richardson and Gore were to return to the League it would be useless for him to hold out. He says that Mr. Day will have a splendid team. Ewing; however, declared himself still nnswervingly on the side of the Brotherhood. He. however, said that tbe oath didnotamount to much. Al Johnson also spoke his mind on the matter. He said: -I have been visiting Mr. Ewing to find out for myself what truth there is about bis going to leave us. I find there is no truth at all in the reports. Mr. Day offered blm f 11, 000 per year for three vears to sign a National League contract, but Ewing refused. Money could not reach him." Mr. Johnson stated that everything is goini aiong au rigni. ne leit ior ueveiana last mu nd- mgnt. N0t SDnPEISED. Blaneger Hanlon Tulles About Fred Den. lap's Allesed Weakening. Manager Hanlon is not surprised at the rumor to tbe effect that Fred Dnnlap is likely to return to the National League. Mr. Hanlon talked quite frankly about the matter last evening. He said: "I won't be surprised If Dunlap does a deal of talking before long. He signed with me to play in our new team and declined bis contract because of a very trifling matter. He can never play in the Pittsburg club as long as I am manager." -What is the reasoni" "Why, he told me to my face in New York that he wonld never play under me and be got his release right away. He claims that I told Mr.Nlmick that Rowe and White couldn't play their best when he was on tbe diamond. This was nonsense and untrue. However, I think he imapned that wa were going to have a poor team and wanted an excuse to get away from us. He is a good player, certainly, but he ku ucver piay wuere a nave cnarge. But," continued Mr. Hanlon, "if he leaves tbe Brotherhood be must come to the Pittsburg League club, unless they sell his release. Pitts burg won't give him the big salary that he bad last year. He sajshecan get $15,000 and a bonus for three years. It is uot In Pittsburg that he will get that amount." The Star Are Coming. Manager Hecker arranged with tbe Syracuse Stars yesterday to play here on April 18 and 19. Jamestown will likely be here on April 16 and 17. Mr. Hecker also received a letter from Sowders. The latter will report on March 15. He speaks well of Pitcher Gray. Tener Hai Signed. John Tener met Manager Hanlon yesterday and signed a contract to play with the new local club. Tener will begin practicing as soon as possible and he will enter on his duties as Secretary and Treasurer at once. Another for Anson. St. Augustine, Fla., February 18. The Chicago bad a close game with the St. Augus tine team to-day, the score being 7 to 8 in favor of the former. Rrllly Will Wrestle Parker. Ed Beilly, tbe local wrestler, called at this office yesterday and left the following chal lenge: "As Harvey Parker, of Erie, claims the light-weight wrestling championship, catcb-as-catch-can, or WesternPennsylvanla, I chal lenge bim to wretle me lor the title. I will wrestle Parker, light-weight terms, best three of five falls, catch-as-catcb-can rules, for $250 a side, the match to take place in either Cleve land or Buffalo. If Parker is willing to accept this challenge, lie can arrange a place of meet ing through The Dispatch, or forward a for feit, accompanied by signed articles." Athletic Modems. The students of tbe Western University in tend to have an active season as far as athletic exercises are concerned. They have organized an Athletic Association which includes base ball, football and tennis teams The associa tion Is prepared to receive challenges for con tests. A rifle team has also been organized and tbe members have weekly matches. John E. Mack is President of the association. All com munications should be addressed to tbe Secre tary, H. G. G. Calvert. U Bnies and Dngsn. A letter was received at this office yesterday from the gentleman interested in promoting a battle between Jack Bates and Mike Dugan. The writer states that Bates cannot fight before J Saturday week and that tbe purse cannot be more than 1100. He also suggests that the par ties meet at Yonngstown on Saturday evening. He points out that Dugan is at New Castle and Bates at Akron, which shows that it would be expensive to meet at Pittsburg. SEW OfiLEANS EACE8.

The Well-Known Puglliit Talka About the Dallns Contest. During a conversation with a Cincinnati .En quirer reporter on Sunday Mike Donovan had tbe following to say about the fatal boxing con tost at Dallas, Tex.: "Muldoon has been around ring encounters long enough to know when a itfajn is exhausted He should have stopped the fight when James was in a dazed condition, and not allowed Be zlnab to finish him." "What do you think of BerinanT" "He is a good man. He will, witb proper training, make a great one. If I bad him I could in a few months teach him many points. He Is naturally a fine pugilist, and witb some one to give bim tbe finishing touches he would hold his own anywhere. He bits a haraer blow witb bis right hand than any lightweight I ever saw. I saw him fight Andy Bowen. the cham pion of the South, and Bezinah had tbe best of him." "You do not believe in allowing a fight to go too farf" "No, I have saved a number of lives by this precaution. Pugilists say I am too humane, but I prefer to have such a fault than to be considered brutal. Jake KUraln don't thank me, but I probably saved his life in his fight in Mississippi. I saw in the seven ty-ronrth round that natnre bad deserted him and that be was almost exhausted. I knew that if Bnllivan should land bis right on Kilrain's neck while be was In sucb condition that it would result fatally. It was for this reason that I'lhrew np tbe sponge. I honestly believe that had the fight continued two or three more rounds he would have died of exhaustion, and we wonld now have to answer for murder Instead of prize fighting." D0EBNT KNOW li'CAFFBET. t VBod Renaud Gives ft Cool Answer Whefa Asked About Domlnlck. New Orleans, February 19. A newspaper correspondent who interviewed Bud Renaud here yesterday gives the following account of the meeting: ' Mr. Renaud, by reason of having managed the details of the Snllivan-Kilrain fight, is to a class of the world a lion. Here in New Orleans among tbe gentry be holds quite an enviable position. He is a man youngish in appearance, well formed, with indications of muscular training and exercise. A man impressive be cause of his reserve and deliberation. To tbe question whether he thought Sullivan and Kll raln would meet again, bis answer was, "I think not." I do not know much of the fraternity who up hold gladiatorial prowess. Mr. Muldoon, who trained Sullivan, was in tbe room, one of sturdy limb and majestic outline. In a rambling conversation touching the knichts of the glove. I asked what bad become of Mc Caffrey. "What McCaffrey T" said he. "Dominick McCaffrey." I answered. "I don't know bim," said tbe Muldoon. "I nerer heard of him." This somewhat direct repudiation of tbe man who had faced Sullivan in Cincinnati set me aback. I could see just the shadoof quizzing an tbe Mnldoon's impassive face. "McCaffrey," he added; "you mean that fel low who nsed to run around with Billy O'BrienT Yes, I knew there was such a man." Then his face marked .such a sneer that wisdom. sug gested that Muldoon and -McCaffrey were not as David and Jonathan. Sol dropped Mc Caffrey. A NEW GYMNASIUM. The West End Tonne Men Go in for Athletic Exercise. Another good and commodious gymnasium is to be addea to those already in and about Pitts burg. The Young Men's Catholic Gymnasium Association, of tbe West End, has put up a splendid building on South Main street, and it is to be stocked with allthenecessaryapparatns for athletic exercises at once.

Charlet McCoy says that he Is In the very best of condition for bis contest with Harry Nikirk on Satnrday evening, which takes place in the Kittanning Opera House. Nikirk is also in active training. Mr. A. G. Mats, the New York .Athletic Clnb's delegate on the Board of Managers of the Amateur Athletic Union, has sent in bis resignation from that body. Mr. Mills has also resigned bis office as a member of the Board of Governors of tbe New York Athletic Club. It is more than probable that E wing has not signed wTth tbe New York League Club, but it is possible that an understanding ot some Jtina has been patched up between htm and tbe chief or the New York League Club. What the terms of tbe amnesty are Is not known, but it would not be a great surprise to see four or five more of the Giants go over to the League. Ewing may not be among them, but be may use his influence to have some of these players return. Cincinnati Enquirer. A BARON IS MISSING, Bat Any Number of Creditors Are Making Tbemselrca Heard His Wife and an Accomplice Have) Also Disappeared, SPECIAL VKLKOBJLM TO TITS DISFa.TCS.1 NkwYork, February 19. Eeal estate broker G. K. Von Horn, who is called also Baron Yon Horn, has disappeared. Mmc. Von Horn, his pretty wife, closed the doors of her fashionable dressmaking rooms, and is now supposed to be on the high seas, bound for Hamburg' Lawyer George "W. Perry, a nephew of ex-Judge Abraham H. Dailey, who was a close friend of Baron Von Horn and shared a part of his office, is supposed to be a companion in flight Each of the trio have left many axious creditors and no end of complications behind. Mme. Von Horn was imported from Paris a couple of years ago to take charge of Alt man's dressmaking department. She fell in love with the Baron, and affer marrying him about six months ago, moved to Brooklyn. She did an extensive busi ness, but owing, it is said, to the extravagant -habits of her husband, she be came involved to the extent of several thou sand dollars. Some of her friends think she has become tired of her husband and has left him for good. Since tbe Baron's disappearance clamor ous creditors have been inquiring for him at the Arbuckle building. Young Law yer Perry seems - to have put himself completely nnder the control of Von Horn and ex-Judge Dailey, his nncle, thinks he has left Brooklyn for good. Mr' Dailey said: "He had bright prospects in the law business and was associated with me until I dismissed him, when he' continued to associate with Von Horn. On Monday he sent for me and gave me some law papers, wmch be asked me to take care or. ue did not tell me where he was going, but J- sup pose be has concluded to shaTe his fortune with Von Horn. I hope he will never come back." A BIG STBEET CAR CONTEACT. Nothing But Electricity Will bo Used In 6b Paul and jHinnenpolIa. rsrzcui. TiLxanxM to tub dispjltch.i St. Paul,- February 19.

A DEAD ENTERPfilSE. French Engineers From Panama Talk Disconragingly ABOUT DB LESSEPS' HIGHTT DITCH Their Storj ot Millions Wasted on a Project That Mast be Given Up. W0KK PBOGRESSING AT NICAEAGUA, latin (Settlements Baring Moved Thither t Work for the Americans. Four French engineers, who have been making an inspection of the Panama Canal, have arrived at Chicago. They talk dls couragingly of ths outlook, and say that De Lesseps ditch has been deserted, the work men haying gone to t Nicaragua to work on, the American canal. Chicago, February 19. Four bright looking men with bronzed faces registered at the Palmer House last evening. After ths leader had written the names' he placed a heavy bnndle on the counter. He would not allow the clerks to handle the package, and asked that he might place it in the safe himself. "Contains jewels?" asked the clerk. "Nothing but papers; but I never let any one touch them." The request was granted and the package placed in the safe. The exterior of the bnndle had the appearance of nothing valu able, yet its contents are eagerly watched for by all France. The arrivals were MM. Germain, Cousin, Lagoul and Du Chatenet, celebrated French engineers ; and it virtually rests upon their decision whether or not the Panama Canal will ever be finished by French enterprise. Shortly after the De Lesseps company was dissolved, MM. Germain, Cousin, Lagoul and Du Chatenet were sent to the isthmus ior the purpose of thoroughly inspecting the line, and to present their opinion as to whether it wonld be practicable to raise more money and dig the ditch or give it np. DOUBTFUL OF SUCCESS. The engineers have gone over every foot of the proposed route, ana in a few weeks their report will be presented to M. Brunet, liqui dates of the comcany. They came here direct from San Francisco, and remained but a few hours. They will sail from New York Saturday. The bundle that the en gineers were so careful of contained the notes of their report. M. Germain, who is called the president of the quartet, was re served about talking of his report, but a reporter had the following conversation witb him: How can I tell anyone about our onlnlon when it interests all France? If I stated that we were to make a favorable report, speculators would have all tbe shares of canal stock before we reached France. It vould be equal tn your Gonld telling about a railroad deal he expected to make. If your report Is unfavorable, will any syn dicate of financiers take up the enterprise That has been proposed, bat it seems bard that all money now Invested shonld be lost. Although the present outlook has seemed like a failure for some time, tbe people can't be reconciled to it, and they will cling to the last straw. I will say that the outlook is rather dubious. GONE TO WOEK FOB AMERICANS. From Colon to Panama you can scarcely find a settlement where a little world oxistednot many months ago. Many have gone over to Nicaragua to work on the American canal. Will that be successful! That is not for me to say, for our people are only interested in the Panama. We were on the work but a few days when we found ma chinery thrown away that would invoice thousands ot dollars. The line looks as though it had been left fot dinner and the"workmen had forgotten to return. Here M. Germain shrugged his shoulders and walked away. The younger members of the quartet were not so politic as their President. While they did not ' state posi tively that the report would be unfavorable, their declarations were equivalent to that. M. Lagoul said: "The Panama Canal is but a bad dream. So much money has been wasted that I don't believe the enterprise will ever be revived." M. Cousin said: "If the canal is finished I am to be engaged in the work, bat I don't think I will ever see the day. The people have not the confidence to raise tbe vast amount of money required to finish the work." BOYCOTT ENGLISH GOODS.

SENTEXCE SUSPENDED. The Tbentrienl Mnnngcr Who Employed Children Gels Off Easily. rSFXClU. TELEQBAX TO THE DISPATCH. 1 New Yoke, February 19. Manager James H. Meade, of the "Bluebeard, Jr." Company, who was convicted of permitting children under the age of 16 to appear in the play, was arraigned to-day for sentence. The children were employed to represent for a few minutes at a time the heroes of child hood and the children that lived in a shoe, and great stress was laid by the defense npontbe fact that children appear nightly in much more exacting roles at other the aters without interference from lir. Gerry, notably the 75 children that are seen in the "dolls' dance" at the Metropolitan, where Mr. uerry is a stoexnoiaer. Sentence was suspended. It is understood that when Mr. Gerry, who has gone awav for a trip South, returns to the city he will prefer complaints against other theatrical managers who employ children. WOMEN' IS POLITICS.

EOR KILLING HIS WIEIS. Charles F. Tall Arrested, Charged With a Horrible Crime Stories of Hlendlsh Cruelty He Says the Woman Was Accidentally Sbot. St. Chables, Mo., February 19. Sheriff Schneider, of St. Charles county, arrested Charles F. Vail at 6 o'clock to-night on a charge of murdering his wife. Efforts were made to suppress the fact, but Vail is now behind the bars of the jail at this place. Tbe warrant was sworn out by George Slattery, brother of Mrs. Vail. The body ot Mrs. Vail will be exhumed and an inquest will be held, commencing to morrow morning. The position of the pistol ball wound from whioh she died will then be determined accurately, and it will be determined whether she conld have been accidentally shot by a pistol in Vail's pocket, as he claims. If Vail is innocent of all tbe charges bronght against him, he deserves the deepest sym pathy, for every day brings new accusations, more than are published, for many are in vestigated and. found untrue, and of others there is no proof. Mrs. Vail's family and relations charge him with condnct that is inhuman and hor rible. Mrs. Slattery relates one incident, which, if tbe motive was wrong, was diabol ical. One raw, disagreeable night, when a drizzling rain was falling, Vail drove to the house in a buggy and asked his wife to go with him for a drive. Mrs. Slattery'says that she and Miss Christie both urged her not to go, it was so dark; and the weather was so bad. Bnt Mrs. Vail said CBarlie wanted her to go, and she thought she had better; maybe he was going to treat her differently; and with him she went, almost to her grate. When she re turned home, Mrs. Slattery savs, she told a terrible story of that drive. She said that when they had driven into Forest Park, Vail complained of the way the horse be haved, and soon he stopped the buggy and stepped out, saying: "I'll whip tbat horse." Just as he stepped down he threw the reins on the horse's back, then with all his might he began to lash the horse with the whip. Mrs. Vail said she had presence of mind enongh to lean forward for the reins, and fortunately'she caught them. She drew them tight, but the horse was vicious, and plunged and struggled to get away from the lashes Vail was still laying on bim, until finally Vail stopped and Mrs. Vail subdued the horse. Then Vail got into the buggy again and drove home. Mrs. Slattery says that Mrs. Vail's arms and hands were sore for days from her fearfnl exertion, trying to" keep the frightened animal from running away, for she knew that once he started in the dark ness, he would surely leave them, and she might be thrown against a tree or some other obstacle, and have her brains dashed out. Why he threw the lines on the horses back unless he wished the animal to run away and kill his wife Mrs. Slattery cannot understand. The gravest charge made against Vail is that he got his wife's life insured for 920,000 and then murdered her. K0SES OF K0IALTI. Bill Nye Finds a, Barber Who Almost Spoiled a Girl's illnicb. "One day," said a barber last week to Bill Nye "I was shaving a foreign noble man in New York, and being in a great hurry I rather suddenly lifted his nose, as is usual when shaving the upper lip, when to my surprise it came off and fell in the cuspidor. It was a wax nose, such as is fre quently worn by the nobility of some count ries where the royal blood contains other ingredients besides royalty, and so I had to put a pink pomatum nose on him till he could get up to the Eden Musee and have another one made. 3y my carelessness I learned afterward tbat I .come mighty nigh breaking up the match betwixt him and a real sweet little American girl with good breeding and lots of means but no noble blood." , BEAD!

Frank Eatton Makes Some Bather Serious Allegations. 0BERLI FAILS TO APPEAR TO TBSTIFI. EooseTclt Bepels All Insinuations Etflccllaz on the Present Body. The Congressional investigation into the workings of the Civil Service Commission was commenced last evening. Frank Hat ton and Commissioners Lyman and Boose velt testified. The charges relate mainly to a brother-in-law and daughter of Lyman. Washington, February 19. The three Civil Service Commissioners, Mr. Frank Hatton, editor of the Washington Pott, which has made charges against the com mission, and a nnmber of other gentlemen, were present when the House Committee on Beform in tbe Civil Service this evening began its investigation of the commission. Civil Service Commissioner Lyman was the first witness, and in answer to the inqniries of Bepresentative Swart, who offered the resolution nnder which the inquiry is pro ceeding, he testified that his brother-in-law, A. C. Campbell, was first appointed by the commission as a laborer, tbongh he had passed an examination and was an the eligi ble list for appointment as a clerk. THE CHAEOE OF NEPOTISM. Campbell had received several promo tions, one of them in April, 1889, when wit ness was the sole Commissioner. Campbell did not pass an examination for promo tion, the Commissioners' clerks not being re quired to do so. In Jannary or February, Commissioner Oberly had called witness' attention to the fact that examination ques tions were seing furnished to outsiders, and witness had said that it was a serious mat ter, and that those who gave them out should be punished. The next day he discovered tbat these questions were in Campbell's hand writing, and, at witness' suggestion, the chief ex aminer made an investigation, and found that the qnestions had not been Used. Campbell acknowledged to witness that he had written the papers, and said that he had copied tnem for a lady friend in the Pension office, who had come to him for as sistance in passing an examination for pro motion. Campbell informed witness that he told this lady that he did not know of any way to help her except that be might give her a set of questions formerly used tbat would embrace the subjects included in an examination for promotion. MISPLACED CONFIDENCE. Campbell said he had given a copy of the questions to thy lady with tbe understand ing tbat it would be destroyed. It was after this statement that witness placed the matter in Mr. Oberly's hands, as it would have been manifestly improper for witness to act in the case. Mr. Oberly did not re ply: "Lyman, I will leave yon to reflect over this matter." He (Lyman) regarded Campbell's act as a serious breach of dis cipline, and had reprimanded him. With respect to criticisms made growing out of witness' daughter making application to take a civil service examination before she had reached the legal age, Mr Lyman said that bis daughter .had acted without consulting him. His daughter's application was made before the rnle reducing the age of applicants bad been adopted, bnt the ex- lamination did not take place until after tbe change in the rnle bdd been made. His daughter's examination was in conformity with the rnle which allowed persons who had made application before attaining the proper age to take tbe examinations. SUFFICIENT PUNISHMENT. In response to a member of 'the committee Mr. Lyman said that Commissioner Oberly, after 'investigating tbe charge against Campbell, stated that it was merely an offense against the technical discipline ot the office, involving no turpitude and that a reprimand would be sufficient punishment Mr. Lyman said he had no agency whatever in Campbell's appointment, and that it had been made while he was out of the city. At the conclusion of Mr. Lyman's exam ination several other witnesses, including ex-Commissioner Oberly, were called, but did not respond. Mr. Ewart said he pre ferred not to go on with the inquiry until these witnesses were at hand. Mr. 'Frank Hatton said be proposed to prove by Mr. Oberly that some of the statements made by Mr. Lyman were not correct. It was finally decided to proceed withont the witnesses wnose names naa oeen canea. i Commissioner Boosevelt was sworn, and gave.his testimonv concerning tbe Campbell matter. He said when he had learned of the case through newspaper publications Commissioner Thompson and himself had conducted an inquiry into the matter, and after questioning several persons and learn ing that Mr. Oberly had continued CamrJ bell in office, tbey had concluded that they were not justified in reopening the case. ALl BIGHT NOW. Mr. Boosevelt called attention to edi torials in the Washington Post, containing charges against tbe commission, and he said so far as they affected tbe present commis sion they were unqualified falsehoods. He complained tbat the charges were not Bpe cifip, and he said he would like to have the gentlemen conducting the prosecution make them more so. Mr. Hatton said he would fnrnish in stances where the commission had violated the letter and the spirit of the law. Commissioner Thompson was sworn and corroborated the statements of Mr. Boose velt' concerning Campbell. The committee then adjourned subject to call. , WHAT DAI;ZBLL MEANS. Tbe Location of Ibe Government Property Be Want to Sell. t Mr, Dalzell's bill for tbe sale of tbe Federal property on Penn avenue, which has been fa vorably recommended by the Committee on Military Affairs, is practically tbe same as a bill which passed both bonses of the Fiftieth Congress, bnt failed to-receive the signature of President Cleveland. The property is at the corner of Penn avenue and Garrison alley. It has a frontage of 100 feet onTenn and runs throngh to Dnqnesne way. Tbe northern half Is rented for a scrap yard. The old brick building on the southeast corner is occnpled by the Custom Honse, while the United States recruiting office is in tne bnilding on tbe southwest corner. The property is so valuable tbat the Federal authorities think it would De better to sell it and to rent quarters for a short time for the officials now nslng the buildings.
