WELL UNDER WAT. rid Hew Slaughter hoiioe Uearing Completion. riore Than $200,000 Worth of Work in Progress la Accordance With Flans Prepared by Boted Architects. A Picayune reporter on Saturday called at the office of the Slaughter house ana Refrigerating Company, Limited, No. Carondelet street.

The most conspicuous object In the oUice is the drawing tabic, supported on trestles, upon wnich are stacked elaborate and voluminous plans, drawings and educations for tne construction or the company's new slaughter house. Tne reporter had visited the office of the company before construction was commenced, una recognized the plans and specifications as the same exhibited to falm at that date. The reporter found Mr. Beckwltn," the counsel of the company, in the omce, and calling his attention to tne editorial publlsued in the Xiiues Uemucrat of tne L'tii in under the head of The New fciaughter House," inquired of him whether there was any foundation for the statements and charges contained in that eirtiol Hr. Beckwlth promptly answered: "The statements contained in the editorial published on the fourth page of the mies Democrat in its issue ot Jan.

6, yjd, under the captions of Xhe New aughter Honse," are false in every par ular. it sets out with, a statement "the ordinance under whlcto they" leaning the slaughter house company) authorized, required that the worts should be done tmder specifications ap roved by the council and the board of uealtbu if such specifications were prepared they have disappeared, and are lost. 'x he construction is now going on In a sort of haphazard way under irregular Fpedncatious furnished by the slaughterhouse company This statement as to lost plans and specifications and Irregular and. haphazard plans is unconditionally false, it is incomprehensible that ny person should believe that any form ct particular and elaborate construction of the special character of slaughterhouse Installation could be carried on without drawings and plans. (Specifications without such drawings and plans would be of no avail;) or that any set of cane business men should invent their money in elaborate and expensive con truction of a special class and character i a a 'haphazard or on plans of tjros or on 'lost plans.

may be, perhaps, and at times, apparently, are conducted on the conjectural 'haphazard but constructions involving more liian $2UU, 000 expenditure, never. "Tae plans and specifications for the new laughter house were obtained from John Thomas, an architect of national reputation in slaughter house construction, having his office at the time the plans were made at No. 413 North Third street. St. and as an in slaughterhouse construction he stands in reputation without a superior in this, or as far we know, In any other country.

X'JrAJa PEOPLE'S SIiA.TJGHTEBiHOTJSE. "Yon examined the plans of construc and specifications before actual con ruction commenced, and doubtless you an recognize the identity of the plans ad specifications now exhibited to you. file in the office of the company. The ans, independent of boiler and machine etail, cover thirty six large sheets of aper and tracing cloth, having probably i total superficial area of more than 1000 oet. There has never been a day, except r.

be a dies non, when every sheet and rawing has not been open to public in oction. It seems incredible that any rson should ever conjecture that a work this expensive and particular character 1 complicated detail can be carried on i bout drawings, or on plans devised by ros. This is so improbable that the in pony can only Infer actionable malice tlie motive ot the Times Democrat pub oatiorus." Do you remember the date and the dr instances connected with the submission these plans and specifications to the iincil and the board of health? 'Certainly, It Is all a matter of publls coord. "On the 22d day of February, 1892, the adopted by the company were for 1 1 ly submitted to the council, for con ieration and approval, accompanied by following communication: 'Hon. Jos.

A. Shakspeare, Mayor of the 'ty of New Orleans, New Orleans, La: We herewith transmit to you for resentation to the council plans for the reposed slaughter house and refrigerat company, to be constructed under the irhorization contained in ordinance No. i m), S. Will you cause the me to be transmitted to the council, i order that they may consider the same give their approval if satisfactory respectfully request, after action, the ians be returned to us for submission to board of health, and that care be tak i that they are not lost or mutilated, i we possess no other "The plans were submitted to the council the mayor and referred to the proper i Cmmlttee. That committee in its report, to be found in the proceedings of the regular session of the council, held March 1802.

'made the following report: 'Third on the plaus and lecincatlona submitted by the proposed daughter house and refrigerating com any, to be constructed under the authori ltion contained in ordinance No. 51S0, C. and recommending that the board of Lealth be requested to suggest such additional sanitary regulations as in their judsment they may deem proper. Very respectfully 'ALEX. K.

FIN CAY, 'Chairman of the Committee. "Upon this report the following action cf the council had, as appears by the official proceedings of that 'Received and on motion of Mr. item third, relative to the slaughter bouse, be approved and The plans were at once transmitted to the board of health for their consideration, as suggested by the action of the council. 'On March 15, 1802, the committee on slaughter houses of the board of health uddressed the company a communication desiring detailed and specific statements la writing upon the following points: 'Keception of cattle and their treatment in the pens, with' Information regarding facilities for continuous How of water through the water troughs: provi Kioa to be made for washing and cleaning pens and disposition to be made of said washings and construction and building of receiving pens, in reference to side walls, drives and alleys, whether covered or paved; the construction of flooring, gutters, drains and urine vats. Also detailed and specific information regarding killing and dressing pens, walls, ceilings, floors drains, gutters aud rrades.

Provisions made for skining and pressing slaughtered animals; complete processes of disposition of carcasses; also disposition to be made of bides, hair, horns) hoofs and heads, and disposition to be made of blood, the entrails and the contained manure; disposition to be made of washings and refuse from the slaughter house, and whether provisions are to be made to protect carcasses from files or other insects. "On March 16, 1892, the company replied to this communication, setting out detail all the matters required, pre coded by the following statement: This company recognizes and understands that cider the terms of the resolution of the ard of health giving assant to the local in which their slaughter house is to be tod, as well as by reason of the au tiy conferred on the board of health vv, your board has full control over ration and installation of slaught in this parish, as far as the health is att'octed, both by "the iu which the operation of ierln? Is carried on and the condi and health of animals litered and destined for human and that any installation, device or method of operation that may be found bjectlonable In that 'respect Is subject to such change and modification as in the opinion of your board may be necessary to oonform to hygienic and health conditions, and in establishing its installation this company will be governed and adopt devices and methods in view not only of health conditions, but in reference to any more improved, economical and better methods that may be discovered to be an advance in the art. The answer to this communication made to the board of health, subject to the reservations above given, was published in the principal newspapers at the time, and no person or newspaper editor can feign ignorance, upon the subject that is, if he reads his own paper. The board or health considered" the plans submitted with this communication and approved the plans, officially notinng the common council of such approvial by communication on file at the city hall, transmitted to the mayor and by the mayor to the council, as shown by the official proceedings of the regular session of the council, held March 22, 18U2. The plans were1 then returned to the possession of the company, where they have remained and are now on file in the company's office, open to Inspection, copies being used by the contractors.

The statement that the original plans and specifications have been lost is unconditionally untrue. Not one Hne drawing or specification has been lost, destroyed or misplaced. The only interference with the plans that has ever taken place was during the trial of the injunction suit Against the company, brought by A. Darcantel and others. The counsel for plaintiffs called for the production of one or.

more of the ground plans. The plans were produced in court, when counsel for plaintiffs resorted to a system of confiscation of property allowed in no place on earth that I am aware of excepting in the courts of Louisiana. The confiscation was effected by applying an adhesive Judicial stamp to maps in which they had no property and filing them in the records, thereby placing them in judicial custody. It is needless to say that this act was an outrage on the' property rights of the company, and subjected the plans not only to confiscation but to probable loss. The company, fearing the loss or destruction of the sheets of plans so confiscated (the loss of which would break the series of plans), at its own expense, procured duplicates of the confiscated plans, to prevent the ruin of the entire working plans procured by the company at a cost in excess of $2000.

These copies are now on file in the office of the company and the confiscated plans ought to be In the office of the. clerk of the supreme court of the state. If they are not there the fact that they are missing furnishes conclusive proof that the apprehensions of the company were not groundless and the expense of procuring copies not useless. It has at all times been indispensable for the protection of the company itself to hold the plans intact not only for the purposes of construction, but that thev may be referred to at any time by both in the city and health authorities in any inquiry as to whether construction concurs wltn plans. The Times Democrat could have avoided uilsstateme it at any time by either intelligent inquiry nt the r.tfice of the company or by no inspection of the slaughter house premises, if their interest in local Improvement had lnsplied them to aid instead of injure local investment and enterprise they would have found construction going on that would have been impossible without plans.

That has already been invested in the proposed installation, and that cattle sheds of better construction tnan any we Know of in this country, contrived not. only to shelter but provide food supply atd water for animals protected from the weather are being erected, the contract price of which exceds xso.uou, and all now In a state approaching completion. "They would have found an expensive and elaborate refrigerating installation in process of completion, with two ao ton ice machines in a nearly completed state of erection, brine tank and re frigeratmg rooms in process of 'completion, affording cold storage for at least ooo slaughtered cattle. They would nave found the premises open to inspection not only to the city and health authorities, but to the entire public. 'A'hey would have found wharves and a viaduct in a state of completion, over 13,000 feet of draining conduits under the sheds.

They would have found lO lnch mains both for the supply of water and for the delivery of' fluids into the river, and abundant proof upon ail aides that there was nothing 'haphazard' either in the plans or in their execution. JCven if there was nothing to be, respected in the character of the men devoting their time and means to an attempt to advance the hygienic 'surroundings attendant upon the supply of animal food in the city to a stage beyond its condition in the days of Bienville. The assault of the 'limes Democrat upon the enterprise and' the men connected wltn it is without Justin cation and la of marked cruelty. "It is the intention of the compaoy, even if it must have the hostility of the press, to complete the instullatloa and furnish this city with the only decently established modern abattoir south of the Ohio "river, and runove all possible' excuse for the exhibition and. sale in our public markets of animal food before it has lost its animal heat.

The prrss mny poMibly delay. the date of complete installation, but wo dor not believe that It can kill or destroy the enterprise 'The Times Democrat, in its issues prior to its issue of Jan. 5, lSKi, assailed City Knginac Brown. Is there any foundation for tne attack upon Mr. Urownr "The attack upon Mr.

Brown is singularly unjust and cruel. Mr. Brown lias no connection, and never has had any connection with the construction aud sanitary appliances of thj new plaughter house, other than official, riie duty and obligation of carrying out the plans of Mr. Thomas as to the slaughter, bonse construction proper is in the hands of Messrs. Wil'ianis Williams, architects of this city.

Their duties relate to the execution of the plans for the erection of the1 cattle "sheds, annex to the 'main building, killing floors, cold storage rooms, conduit conm etion to the underground vats receiving the flul to be for ed by the pumps back into the river. "The entire mechanical appliances, so far as relate to motive power, boilers and the machinery department of the installation, only to be put in place after the other construction is are complicated and special in construction, requiring calculations as to torsional strain on line shafts, sufficiency in support of line shafting, traction power and capacity of belts, and a thousand other thiugs where an error in calculation would iucaa pecuniary los3. These matters are not within the range and ex fterience of the ordinary architect, and became necessary to obtain the services of some person supposed to be proficient, not only in mechanical appliances, but in the mathematics involved, inquiry for such a person developed the fact that, unless the qualities and experience possessed by Mr. Brown could be had, the service was not to be obtained locally, air. Brown services were secured, and have not as yet been called into requisition, the installation not having progressed sufficiently for that "lt is difficult to comprehend how the per formance of any duty in this line by Mr.

Brown can in any way conflict with his duties as city engineer, lying as those duties do, in the line pf topographical and hydrographlcal engineering, 'l'he imputation sought to be cast upon Mr. Brown that he has been negligent of bis duties as a public officer in respect to the new slaughter house is peculiarly unjust. The slaughter house company has more cuase to complain of his overzeal and exaction as a public officer. Under ordinance No. 61U.

Council iSeries, the company was authorized to erect a bridge or viaduct across North Peters street for the transfer of animals from steam vessels to the premises of the company, subject to plans and specifications approved by the city surveyor. The compuny believed that an extreme height of 14 feet In the clear above the street was of sufficient height to ailow free use of the street. Mr. Brown compelled the company to carry the bridge to a height of nearly 19 feet, involving the company in a largely increased expenditure in constructing and timbering the bridge and the approach on either aide. As city engineer, Mr.

Brown required the trenching for and laying of over 15,000 feet of lo in ch earthenware conduits under the cattle sheds, an expenditure that the company believed useless. "The original plans for the cattle sheds submitted to the council were made in accordance with the system of construction adopted in Chicago, and so far as we know, in all of the large houses of the country, the floors i being laid upon the ground upon tmbers bedded in the ground. Alr JkI the floor of the cattle sheds to be c. to a height of approximately 10 Inches above the ground. Tbe company com putd wifh ms demand in that Particular Involvinlr an additional expense in shed construeo" Including the tile main 'l roVneof duty to the cttyTwbo has the most cause to plXlhV public ttXDMr to Mk3o with malfeasance without investigating tthTcompy ffiered that the formal ectf oTthe council In Its the nl ans eave full warrant for the construction of the installation according to thV plana Mr.

Brown, acting under the dM" of what we be unconstitutional ordinance, imposing a tax of one eighth of one per cent on the cost of all buildings, a tax in excess of the constitutional limit of taxation Placed on the city, demanded of the company for the conatr iction of the sheds alone a tribute of S0. to swell jthe revenues of the city. This tax being upon the construction of the, cattle sheds alone, when tbe annex is put urder construction he will demand the same tax upon cost of that improvement. It Is In connection with "this tax, which, so far as we are aware.has received no newspaper condemnation, that specifications and plans were demanded in the city hall. The specifications to determine the assessable value upon which the one eighth of i per cent was to be levied.

The plans of the cattle sheds, for some, reason to us unknown, were demanded. Under this demand of the city surveyor 'our secretary filed, or should have filed, duplicate copies of the contract for the construction Of the sheds, made with Mr. Surgl. I am Informed by him that he filed specifications and blue print copies of the plans for the 'Sheds. If these copies have been lost it is not the fault of the company and is an Indication of the amount of security surrounding valuable plans deposited in the city ball.

fit is the desire of the company to expend its money In local employment and industry It was with that view and intention that the services of Mr. Brown were secured. We know of no other person in New Orleans who claims to possess the qualities required. We have made inquiry in every direction, except, perhaps, among the editorial staff of the Times Democrat If such talent exists In that direction, it has failed as yet to attract public attention and notoriety and certainly writes nothing for the paper. In the question of the employment of a mechanical engineer, the question presented to the company was whether they should employ Mr.

Brown or Import a mechanical engineer from some other locality. The company preferred to employ and encourage local talent. "Mr. Brown seems Indifferent to tbe assaults made upon In this he Is probably right. The attack is probably, so far as he is concerned, not worth notice, but the company deems it but Justice that the exact relation of Mr.

Brown to the company should be known to the public, as he was assaulted on their account, an assavlt that was evidently Intended also as an attack on the financial credit of the company by an attempted Impeachment of the Integrity and good xaitb of its directors and officers."

She was a woman of many accomplishments and gifted with rare graces of mind and heart. She was a model wife and mother, and in all the relations of home life 'her Influence was felt; and her virtues exhaled a fragrance which will linger in the hearts of those who knew her for many years to come.

She was a devoted. Catholic and died fortified, with all the rites of the church. Her funeral took place yesterday evening and was largely attended. The Interment was made in the family vanlt in the old St. Louis cemetery.

T.he following gentlemen acted as pallbearers: Messrs! Krnest, Richard, Edmund and Richard lie Verges, Major L. L. Lincoln and Mr. Wm. Cruzat.

Mrs. re Verges leaves a devoted husband and seven children to mourn her loss. They have the warm sympathy of many friends in their sore bereavement. NEW: MUSIC The following pieces of newmasic have been received from publishers: From L. Urunewald Company Tti Te Tu Te," oolko, by 8.
