RICHMOND 10 BE , 1 UEADQ01RTERS OF BDICK MASONS So Many Large Building Contracts in the City This Year That Big Force of Men Is Necessary.

N0N UNION LABOR IS NOT TO EMPLOYED Contract for New High School Not Yet LeBut Is Probable Champaign, III., Firm Will Get It. "Within three weeks, Richmond will be the Mecca for journeymen bricklayers," stated a well known representative of the local union last evening. Prospects are good for mechanics in this line, having local employment for a year or more, by reason of the number of large buildings which are to be erected this year. It is even pr dieted that the contractors will have a hard time securing a . sufficient number. to complete their contracts within the specified time. I Work on the superstructure of the parish house and St.. Mary's a new church,Nlnth and North A street, will be commenced within a few days, while the foundation of the Murray theater will be completed in a short time and the work on the superstructure of this building will then be started. - H Igh School Contract. The city school officials expect to let the contract for the new hlgrh school building within a short time and as there is little excavating to be done, the masons can begin work almost immediately. , Superintendent T. A. Mott stated this morning -that the board would in all probability give the construction contract to the English Brothers of Champaign, III. It will be several davs before the contract is Jet, however, as the board desires to Investigate this firm's work and record. Its bid called for an expenditure of $124,000, or 10 cents per cubic inch. Mr. Ittner of St Louis, the special consulting architect of the school board, stated that this price was probably the best which could be obtained. Only once before has a contractor bid so low for the construction of a building designed by Mr. Ittner. The work on this building will require more than a year, the school officials desiring that It be completed by September 1, 191. . Three Big Jobs. Judge D. W. Comstock wUl"erecta brick business block on his property on. Main street, east of the Westcoit hoteL and John Hasecoster will probably remodel his property located at 1025 and 1027 Main street. The new dormitory building of Wernle Orphans' Home, southeast of the city. Is a rather pretentious building, which will demand a large force of bricklayers. Besides these buildings there will be a number of private ' residences of brick construction arected during- the year. - . If the contractors can secure the men It is probable that force of 30ft or more brick, layers will be employed oa the buildings referred to this summer. The work will be done by union men, according to the statement of the member of the local union. He declared 'iContiaaxl on Fast) TvoJ -

MARINES REBELLIOUS. Constantinople, April ,16. The third day of the revolutionary movement in the capital was marked by some dis orders, the most serious of which was a demonstration by marines, who ob jected to the new Minister of Marine, Vice Admiral Adjlemin Pasha. The marines gathered in force and lynched in front of the Yeldiz Arlf Bey, Commander of the battle ship Assar-l-Tew-fik, a member of the committee of union and progress, who ordered the guns of his ship trained on the Tildiz Kiosk when the rising was at its height, with the intention of supporting the committee. Although public confidence is by no means restored by the formation of the new Cabinet and excellent impression . has been produced by the appointment of Nazim Pasha, as com mander of the First Army Corps and this has been ' strengthened by the nomination: of Nemduh Pasha, another able Adrianople officer, to command the first division of Constantinople. Edhem Pasha, the new Minister of War, and Nazim Pasha yesterday made the rounds of the barracks in the city and exhorted the soldiers to obey their officers. They were well received and heartily cheered. Porte circles are extremely disquiet ed by news from Salonikl and Monastlr, where the influence of the committee of union and progress is strong. Officers of the Porte have received telegrams from these sections de manding the re-establishment of the status quo ante, failing which the committee leaders threaten to march on Constantinople with the entire Third Army Corps, whose officers are now in communication with the second army corps with a view to co-op eration. The railroad company has received orders to prepare all available cars for the transportation of the troops to the capital. Jazie Bey is expected there tonight with 10,000 volunteers. ' All business is at a standstill throughout the city. The report that Mahmoud Mukhtar Pasha has fled to Saloniki has been confirmed. It is stated that Ahmed Riza, the former president of the chamber, : has taken refuge in the French embassy and that Hussein Jabid, editor-in-chief of the Tanin. has fled abroad. There is no trace of the other members of the committee. The number of casualties during the disturbance of the last few days has not been definitely ascertained, but is believed to be comparatively smalt " CHIEF STAUBAUCII V7EARIIIG DEW LID It Llakes a Noise Like a Crass Band.

MUNCIE OFFICIALS WANT INFORMATION Accused Man VVhen lft in This City Was Arested, With a Woman, rare Charge Of Grand Larceny. It has been learned that the man under arrest at Muncie as Ernest Campbell and held on the charge of murder, is the same man who was in trouble in this city under the name of Ernest Bell. The information has been gained through a letter from Muncie to the county clerk here, asking as to the man's record. When the clerk furnishes it, it will be found quite lengthy. Bell, or Campbell, is accused of shooting down in cold blood the husband of a woman with whom he had been making his home, during the husband's absence. It is not known by the police whether this woman is the same one who was with him in this city or not. The man returned home unexpectedly and found Bell and the woman together. A scene ensued and Bell shot fatally. Larceny Charge Here. When in this city, Bell was arrested on the charge of larceny. He was released under suspended judgment. How worthy he was of this consideration by the courts has since been demonstrated. He and his wife and children, to gether with a brother-in-law and fam ily, were making their home In the house of Mrs. Grace Kern in the North End. They were using Mrs. Kem'i household furnishings, as she was not making her home there at the time. They secured a large quantity of gro ceries on fake orders, which they fail ed to pay for. One night they moved groceries, furniture and everything else from the house and. went into camp in the river bottom, preparatory to mak ing their get-away the next day. The plans were Interrupted by Officer McManus' arrival on the scene. He stopped the removal and arrested Bell and the woman. Both were placed in Jail, the woman at the Home of the Friendless. She escaped later In company with Goldie Kelley Rider and subsequently her husband waa released. Bell went from here to Winchester, then to Muncie. ... -.-. . . v THE IVEATHEn PKCPIIET.
