It has been reported to the "Telegraph" that the "Pennsy" is considering the dem olition of the few rickety frame buildings at Chestnut street and Grace Alley, at no distant date and the ornamentation of the site thus vacated in a manner like unto that recently accomplished at the Market street entrance to tne station, it is known that the company's resident civil engineers have been making surveys in that locality within 'the past tew days. and the improvement is expected to follow shortly. It is the desire of the company's officials here to make the immediate surroundings of the station as or would also increase the open space at the Chestnut street "entrance, and this result probably weighed heavily in its consideration. In the event of the razing of these structures the company and city will be without a morgue, unless another build ing is erected or remodeled for such purpose. It is expected that other improvements will be made at and about Union Station within the next twelvemonth, and it is among the probabilities that we will get that Market street bridge before 1899 arrives.

This selection was made' this morning at a meeting of the Commission and a formal resolution was adopted accepting Mr. Cobb's design.

FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 22. 1897, ESTABLISHED 1831. rati Gossip's Column. The new Capitol Building Commission to day took action and selected a plan for the new building, together with au architect to carry oat the plan, all of which, was what the people of the State wanted. The unavoidable delay was long and tedious, and the people were beginnig to be impatient, but just as soon as the legal complications were brushed away the action of the Board was quickly taken, awl the Conimirtsion will be congratulated oil the very excellent plan it has selected and the beautiful building it will erect.

Mr. Cobb, the architect, is a man cf eminence in his profession, a builder of renown, and we have every assurance that he will push matters so that the building will be erected in time for its occupancy by the next Legijslariire. There was grave apprehension that the delay would be so great that the beginning of ojera.tious would be delayed indefinitely. The people are glad tihle Commission has done something and has done it well. Their action will be very generally commended.

This is the season of hunting, and Gossip reminds those who go out with guns in their hands of the old huntei 's advice don't shoot until you know what you axe shooting at, don't shoot until you are well satisfied that you are not shooting at a human being, don't shoot at random, wait until you are absolutely certain, you are not going to lire into a human target, and don't sboot in the direction of a person within range, even if you lose the game. In Snyder county the other day a man wa" vaccinated with bird shot by a hunting companion who fired at a turkey that was sitting low in the brush. The matt who was hit was on tre other side of the brush. A iarty of deer hunters were up in the mountains some years ago and when they went out in the morning they were stationed, it was understood, about a quarter of a mile apart at the runways to wait for the deer. One gentle maat, a HaTrisburger, was watching very intenitly when he saw) the bushes about a hundred yards away move mysteriously, and he concluded it was a deer browsing, but he was not quite sure.

He determimted to wait a while and get a fair shot alt what he thought was venison on the hoof. By and by the bushes moved again, and the watcher slowly drew his Winchester up and prepared to fire. He could see portions of what he certainly thought was a deer's body, but he about firing until he could see more of it. The third time the bushes moved, and again, did the hunter's rifle go up to his shoulder, and again did he refrain from shooting he wanted to be sure. As he lowered his rifle the.

head of a mam appeared above the busies and he saw a hunting companion whom he imagined "was stationed a quarter of a mile away. Something he could not understand, unless it war supreme caution, had impelled him to refrain from firing, and if he had fired tie would have killed his companion, for he was a dead shot Be sure of what you axe snooting at before you shoot, and don't point a loaded or unloaded gun at anybody. Xhe "Telegraph" to morrow will be a thing of beauty and a joy for every household. Besides all of the news local, general and telegraphic it will contain a number of special articles. Chief of these is a paper read by Miss Mary McAllister at the recent meeting of the Etaughters of the Revolution, on Francis Marion, one of the most interesting and certainly the most romantic character of the struggle for independence.

Miss McAllister has prepared her paper with great care, and it is not only instructive but worthy a high place in the archives of the Daughters. As usual, Quad" has a supply of funny things that are perfectly irresistible and have created a laughr 11 over Harrisburg in fact, wherever the "Telegraph" goes, and it goes pretty much everywhere in this vicinity. He tells about "Squan Creek Folks" and there are some extracts from the Arizona Kicker that are very funny. The short story of the evening is by David Skaats Foster, entitled "A Crisis in Oldendorf," and is written in Mr. Foster's usual happy vein.

Gray was one of the most interesting prisoners in Riverside Penitentiary. The sensational story of the crime for which he was convicted and the circumstances surrounding his case marked him among the convicts. His many applications for pardon made his name familiar to every Pardon Board for years, and columns have been published in the newspapers about him. Gray was one of the best behaved pris oners in the institution. He was always cheerful, in spite of the sentence of life imprisonment hanging over him.

Two weeks will then be allowed contractors to bid on the construction of the building, so that work will probably le started about the first of the new year.

Mr. Cobb estimates that the legislative building can be completed within a year from the time of beginning the work. The architect selected was highly recommended to the Commissioners. He bears the reputation of being one of the best designers in the country. He designed the fisheries building at the World's Fair and was one of the experts in architecture on the World's Fair board of judges.

He has since designed many imposing buildings in Chicago and is now specially employed by the United States Trtusury Department for expert architectural work. Large buildings in six different States are now being constructed under his supervision. He is at present supervising architect of the United States post office building at Chicago. Messrs. Harding and Furness, of Phil Messrs.

Haring, of New York, and Furness, of Philadelphia, two com iwtitors for the capitol plans, voted for Mr. Cobb as a member of the of experts. Mr. Harding said he had never seen Cobb, but was satisfied with his work on the fisheries building at the World's Fair. In his general description of his plan, submitted to the Mr.

Cobb says the principal building should be located so that the dome shall be above the intersection of State and Capitol streets. This and many olher minor considerations have led to the arrangement of the buildings, which viewed from any possible point will give a simple, dignified and imposing mass, each building helping to produce a grand whole. Careful consideration has loen given to the necessity of constructing the different buildings at different times. He says it is impossible to con struct a proper legislative building with a dome and all the requirements 6et forth in the programme for the present appropriation of but it is possible to build two legislative chambers and sufficient committee rooms, to answer the 'present needs of the State government. Willi this in view the central building can be constructed wth a temporary low dome and many of the rooms which are to be used when the entire building is completed for other pur Ises can for the present be used for committee rooms and offices in immediate demand.

In this manner a good, practical, legislative building can be produced which will give the Commonwealth sufficient accommodation for all its needs and be a credit to the State. This legislative building, he says, can first be constructed by itself as shown the drawings sulnuit ted. At some future time the dome or eitner one or both of the additional buildings can be added without interferinir with) the present departmental buildings or interrupting the use of the legislative building. the departmental buildinars. which will lie connected with the main or legislative building by wings containing omces, can ue constructed botn together or one at a time wlienever desired.

Mr. Cobb recommends the use of cranite and informs the Commission that the central building designed for legislative usi can be constructed of this material and completed with a low dome within the limit or present aimropnation. The Capitol, when completed by the addition of the wings and departmental buildings on the north and south, in the future, will be an imposing pile. En tenng from est State street, one pro ceeds through a wide corridor with committee rooms on either side to the rotunda, where grand staircases and elevators will be provided to reach the floor immediately above on which are located the legislative chambers. The Senate will 1h located on the western or Third street end of the building, with light and air irom tnree sides directly troni the ex Keeping Down tne Disease.

Sewer Accident and Three Men Killed Reading, Oct. 22. Early this forenoon a large portion of the new sewer in North Reading caved in and many tons of earth fell on three Italians, who were working in the trench.

A large force of men was put to work, and by 11 o'clock the bodies of two had been taken out. The other had not yet been reached, but there is no possibility that he is still alive. The dead are Dominie Cotch and Lewis Man crose. Tom Ross is missing. Several were injured.

A Girl for a Horse. Stroudsburg, Oct. 22. A band of gypsies camped near Dingman's Ferry lost one of their horses, and for scvcral'davs they made ineffectual efforts to trade off one of their party, a comely young woman, to farmers in, exchange for a horse. The girl, when asked her opinion the trade, said willing to go.

If I haint worth more than a hors you ueedn't take me." But the trader was unable to effect the desired exchange and finallv a horse was bought for $20. Soon after sailing for Honolulu from Mare Island, the fire room on the cruiser Baltimore was flooded bv the blowing out of a manhole plate, and the veseei was compeiiea to return, terior. The House will be located at the eastern or Fourth street end of the building, with light and air from the three sides immediately from the exterior. Both Senate and House will be provided with ample gallery space above the level of the floors of the respective chambers. There will be a large space above the galleries on the third floor of the 'building for caucus and other rooms.

The new Capitol building will be brought forward, under Mr. Cobb's plan, about thirty feet beyond the line of the present buildings. The construction of the wiDgs from the central building to the prospective departmental buildings on either side will form courts to the right and left of the main entrance. The exterior. Mr.

Cobb suggests, should be constructed of Pennsylvania granite or marble, the frame work to be of steel and iron, and the interior walls, partitions and floors of brick and hollow tile. The interior is to be finished in. marble, hard woods and stucco. It is to be in general a building equal in construction and finish to the best modern building. It is the desire of the Commission to obtain, if possible, in addition to the central building at least a portion of the con necting wTings running north and south, which will contain offices and committee rooms, and the architect has been requested to furnish an estimate of the cost of adding these connecting wings and to inform the Commissioners whether the additional cost of such wings can be met by lesa elaborate and expensive finishing of the interior of the central or legisl STRKET.

a S3 i 3 WING tive building than he has suggested in his specifications. Of course, the present idea of the Commission is to finish the legislative building with a low dome because the architect estimates that it will cost from 75. 000 to $100,000 to construct the complete aome. It is estimated that the o'd material saved from the burned building, consisting of brick, stone and iron, is worth $30,000, and can be utilized in the new structure. The legislative building, for which provision is now being made, will be about 104 feet high to the base of the dome, which will be 96 feet higher.

Each chani'ber will be about 70 feet In width. Under the act of Assembly the Commissioners were obliged to select not only a plan for the legislative building, but also plans for such other buildings an may be necessary to accommodate the departments of the State Government. The plans adopted cover all these buildings, although at present there is no authority for erecting any building except that which is for the accommodation of the General Assembly. The plans adopted contemplate the erection of three buildings running from east to west and connecting them by wings running north and south, so as to give, wheu' all' are completed and connected, practically the effect of a single structure. The central building, now to be erectid, is for the use of the General Assembly.

It embraces that portion of the general plan shown in the diagram exclusive of the wing and department buildings. Many excellent designs were submitted to the Commissioners, but the principal considerations which led them finally to adopt the plan submitted by Mr. Cobb are to be found in the fact that his plans provided for outside light and air to both Senate and House, and provide also for the erection of additional buildings for departmental purposes in the future and in such position that they can be readily connected with the legislative building, thus giving to all1 the buildings when completed practically the effect of a single structure, and at the same time making all the departments of the government more accessible and convenient to persons having business with them. The amount of the appropriation will not permit of making high dome on this building a.t present, but at some future time the dome can le erected and the additional buildings for departmental purposes can be added without interfering with the legislative building. The legislative building now to be constructed and the successive buildings t' at to make up the complete True lure can all be erected without in nnv way lis trirbing the existing surroundings in the cjapitol Park.

This is a matter of very gn.iit importance to the iooplo. It has taken several generations to product the exceptional beauty of the Capitol grounds anl such, natural beauty can ouh Ih produced by time. Should the gro'uuds Ik altered so as to accommodate a different location for one or more buildings intead of using the present site, and t'he rrcs replaced by new ones it will take at least fifty years to secure a satisfaetorv re jilt. The plans adojrted contemplate no era iigcs whatever ia the grounds. Tl exiK mso of erecting additional buildings in the near future, will, by rea uie p.an adopted ly the Commi, sVn.

be very much le. than if these ad il'ilional buildings were located in remote section of the grounds, and the exin n.se cf maintenance and management will be annually much less than if the buildings were separated. The Commissioners are confident that conclusion to preserve the natural lieauty of ihe.park will he approved by the people generally. Auditor General Mylin. State Treasurer Haywood Senator S.

A meeting of Pennsylvania heirs of the John George Spang estate of $30,000,000 in Germany was held in this city yesterday. A. J. Dress, who had investigated in Germany, reported that the exact location of the richest part thereof in that empire was in East Friese. Mr.

Dress added: "General Kniphausen called upon me in Germany and told me that he had charge. I saw him three times, and he told me that he was ready to turn over the property if I had the right papers, showing that I was tlie representative of the heirs." J. H. Reninner said he was sorry that there was no official information on the subject. He thought that at present there was too much hearsay evidence and that there seemed to be no proof to show that there was a fortune at all.

The outcome of the meeting, however, was a determination to push the investigation already begun, and ascertain by what legal means the American heirs can get ixissession of the great estate in Germany.

Randolph, one of the most enthusiastic ex Oon federates, of the State, arose to protest against a proposition to haul down the Stars and Stripes for the Stars and Ba rs.

In opposing the resolution Major Randolph said: "The Hag of Union belongs to me just as much as it does to a Boston or a New York man. and I would hate to see i taken down fivii our public school buildings and have it substituted by the Virginia flag." The resolution will be referred to the History Committee for consideration.

Senator Henry D. Snylor, of Montgomery, was yesterday eftered by the President the po sition of Consul to Mantanzas, Cuba, and the otter was accepted.

4 oil 11 Kuappenber Ser. SO nOIEY FOR THEK. Chicago, Oct 22. The twin sons ot the late George M. Pullman.

George and Sanger, have been: disinherited. Such is the report which has gained currency since the arrival of the widow. The story is to the effect that the strokes of Mr. Pullman's pen that erected a barrier between, his cons and his money were made only ten days before his death. At that time Mr.

Pullman seemed to be in sound health. He was generous to his family, but he believed in work. These sons showed no desire or qualities to indicate that they might succeed in the drectioa of big affairs. For this reaswn. it is said, the father cut them off.
