Tl I'lac e Where the I aaas:irt loa llitl Will He Held. Er'"tl to the Sentinel. Wasiiinmon, Feb. 17. To day 1 p;d a TiaU to the new Pension Biiiding, which is being pat la order for the inaugural ball. Taings are in a vey crude condition there now, and it would seam like an impossibility to maka it habitable within two weeks. There are pools of wtfr intide thj baildinr, no floor down, Leat j of rabbish like stoue, brick, lumber, ontheoutiida acd inside, but few windows in, and only two bärriers fbr the roof. "Do yea think: this room jn ba mida comförtable? ' I inquired of a workman. "Well, je, if the weather is not too severe," be answered. "You know it doesn't req-.ire much warmth in a ball room, but the iadiea dresses are so decDlette now that it would be great exposure if they come here on a blnstry night." Of course, much will be done here during the next two weska to make this huge room look cozy, bat it can not be made comfortable. I am tjli by tho old physicians here, however, that at least twenty-five deaths occur froai every inauguration ball, and thit 10 per cent, of the ladies are always ill from the exposure. Trae, but few come t the balls foraayothsr purpose than to see the decorations and have it to say they were here, but enough of them engage In the dance? t) breed Illnesa and death. I am told thit the sale of tickets are very rapid, and th it it is not pnmble that any of them can ba bought, ex cept at a premium. The fixed price is ?", but tho premium is from $2 to $". l'reeldeut Arthur Keady to More. Spe-lal to tiie Bentlnei. Washington', Feb. 17. I'resident Arthur haa pneitd rip about all of hh personal effects at the "White House. Some of thesa hi7g b?en shipped to New York. There is nothing about the Executive Mansion balonjsicg lo the President except hla clothing and papers. The furniture, table-ware, piintirgs, books, tupplifs in the kitchen and dining rocni, all balong to the house, a jd were furnished by the Government. Every fosr or cUht years th9 White House is rejuvenated, refurnished, and made as nearly new a3 possible. It is repainted, repapered and redecorated, however, about every two years. There has ben none of this work done especially for Mr. Cleveland. Let spring and summer Titlany came d ovn from New York and the house was put in order at a cost of something near ?-'". 0X), and the old place could not be very much improved now. There is no residence ia the cjuntry poiEetslcß so much silent prandeur as tht of the President. There ia little of flash ab Jüt it, but everything is of the fines', and everything is in order. Tne hous will be given up by Mr. Arthur in much bitter condition than when he took it. His society events have served to keep the Executive Mansion in prime condition. The decorators have visited it offener, and have been more lavish in their work than ever bafore. The place will be practically vacant during the la3 Keek of the administration. Indeed, it i little more than an oihee now. Serenity Adiobs the liepart inent Clerk, epeclal to the bcnttnel. Washington, Feb. 17 A very marked degree of serenity eerns to poasess the department clerks here. They have arrived at the conclusion that Mr. Cleveland intends to keep them, 'lhe Chiefs of Divisions, who are beyond the protection ol civil service, are contenting themselves with the belie.' that they will not be disturbed. Since the election, however, about all of these men have bean casting about for Democratic influence to keep them in place. The employes of the Pension Uilice who have been before the House Committee on Pensions, Tounty and Eick Pay an 1 testified to tne uses and abuse in the o'liee to help republican candidates during the recent election, did so to curry favor with the dominant party. Tha Pension Odice employes, it seems, were the most bitter partisans, and If any must go they will go first. Senator Mahone'a Son. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, Ftb. 17. Senator Mahona'a son, who tried to p3rforate a p!r of sable waiters at Welcker's last Saturday night has not yet turned up at the Senate, where he holds a position worth $2,200 a year. A colored messenger is dolug the work, and has been doing it for most of the winter. It Is hardly necessary to add ihat if others of th' employes would leave their places for the1 purpose of slaying somebody, and cot return to them for days or make provision for doing their work, that they wuild be summarily dismissed. It appears that Senator Mihone has avery strong held on the oilicers cf the Senate. He La dictated the liilicg cf mere positions

Two Olore Yitncss Ai rested for I'erjury. Chicago, Feb. 17. Sullivan wfiU upon the witness stand in the Federal Court this mcrning and rehearsed the story told in hU affidavit of lila tuborn&tion by Mackin to commit perjury.

Snllivan, witness for the defense in the Mackin caro, is t the efiect that for four eilver dollara and the promise of a place in the Government printing office in Washington he committed perjury, and that the testimony he gave last wee was entirely at Mackin's dictation. It has produced the greatest consternation among the parties implicated. O Brien, the man who is alleged to have acted as the go between for Msckin and Sullivan. e.nd who first breached Mackin'a echeme to the latter, was arrested this morning, and warrants have aso teen issued fcr the arrest of Hitman and Simmons, two other of Mackin'e witnesses. Sitman is owner of the presses on which Sullivan swere he printed the bogus t'ekets, on the night cf November 3; was also arrested and cenffssed he also swere falsely in saying he rented the presses to Sullivan on that occasion; that W. J. Gallagher, one of the defendants, approached him on the subject about three weeks ago, and that it was subsequently arranged between himself, Gallagher and Mackin that he should give this false evidence. Tilman was put upoa the stand this afternoon and swore to substantially the above frcis. To-day's revelations hay? created a decided eensation, as they break down the entire theory of tne defense and lrare dam8f:irg testimony cf the prosecution contradicted, except by Mackin, the principal defendant, who te.stitkd this afternoon thct he did rot Lire .SuLivan to commit perjury.
