A REMARKABLE CONSTRUCTION.

Description of tb Great Wall Now En closing- the Prison South. Warden J. B. Patten, of the Prlsot South, has just finished one of the niosi remarkable pieces of masonry and bricklaying ever constructed in the United States. It is a wall enclosing almost the entire prison, excepting a small piece it front, where the old structure remains It surrounds the prison grounds. It is built on a foundation five feet wide and six feet ten inches deep under the snrfacc of the ground. Three feet of the Jowei part is composed of broken rock, grave! and cement, making a solid concrete three feet ten inches in hard brick laid in cement. Above ground the wall has an arched face, pilasters supporting it every ter feet, and each of these being 22K feet high. The wall is 25tf inches thick between pilasters, and above the arches 37 inches. On top of the wail is a Gothic metal roof, four feet high, with two feet of iron fence; the hight of the wall to the top of the masonry is 35tf feet, and built of hard brick laid in cement. From the foundation tj the top of the iron is thirtyeight feet, four inches. There have been used in the construction of the wall 4,713,060 brick. There are towers at every corner fourteen feet square and sixty feet high, each with two muliioned windows and two glass doors. There are four of these towers. Of the brick 2,874,(0.) were purchased from the brick makers and the rest are from the old wall. It required 15,472 days of convict labor to construct the wall and almost all the work was done by convict labor. In fact the outside labor in its construction is so small that its cuts hardly any figure. In length the wall is nearly a half mile long. It replaces the former board wall, which could easily be penetrated by an enterprising convict. Warden Patten began the construction of this wall nearly two years ago and has used hardly any money out of the State's treasury for the purpose. He says in his report: "The appropriation used to Oct. 31, 1893. for construction of sewer,purchase of land and construction of wall was $44,000, and the appropriations of $10.00 for the fiscal year beginning Nov. i, 1863, has been anticipated, and material purchased covering that amount is yet to be paid for after the 1st of November next. This includes the cost of reconstructing the buildings destroyed by fire' He then gives the following detailed statement: "Materials have been purchased and used, and bills received amounting to 53.0i$.4 the same being to cover the following improvements: Purchase of land, 11,834.10; construction of sewer, $6,445.49; reconstruction of burned buildings, $6,25S.10; the new wall, !39,1C0.8S. Total, The outside labor of the new wail, tinners and brickmasons. amounts only to 1224.51. and hauling 1144.13. The wall was planned and engineered by Warden Patten himself. He also trained the convicts employed in the work of brick-laying. Men who are conversant with such work say that it is among the best walls that have ever been built anywhere, and will stand as long as the hills of southern Indiana. A PLUCKY INDIANA GIRL How She Went to the Cherokee Strip and Defended Her La.acl.

During the rush of the army of boomers at the recent opening of the Cherokee Strip, a young lady who formerly resided tn Hamilton county was one of the heroines of the event. Her name is Miss Grace Bly, who is making her home near Coffeyville. Kai. It is a case where deserving maidens as well as men always acquire luccess by well directed efforts. Miss Bly is twenty-one years of age, and when the news first reached her that the strip was going to be opened she determined to cast her fortune with the boomers, 4,just to see what a girl can do when she tries," and she did. Her outfit consisted of a team of active mules attached to a light buggy. At the given signal she started in with the rest, and by the time they had made eight miles she was in the lead with but one or two exceptions. She kept her mules on a dead run and reached a splendid quarter-section, seventeen miles from the starting place, in a few minutes over an hour. Miss Bly was fortunate enough to secure a large tract of land, and was molested by no one, until late in the evening a burly negro came along and attempted to run her arway. but she soon gave him to understand that she was there to stay and the best thing he could do was to go. He did so. Miss Bly is still owner of that section of territory. LONG CONTINUED CONVENTION.

It Began Two Months Ago, and 5,812 Ballots Were Taken. J After taking 5,812 ballots the First Judicial Democratic Convention at Baltimore, Tuesday, ended the deadlock by nominating as chief judge, Henry Page, of Somerset, and as associate, Henry Lloyd, of Dorchester. The convention started to work two months ago. It was made up of sixteen delegates, representing four counties. Each county had a candidate.

She is now at Itiegate, in Surrey, a noted health resort.

The House bill repealing the federal election laws, which passed the House, Tuesiay, was laid before the Senate. Mr. Hoar mggesied that the bill should go the comnittee on privileges and elections. After i short executive session the Senate, at :15, adjourned until Wednesday. The Tucker bill to repeal all existing 'ederal election laws was passed by the House at Tuesday's session by a vote, of iC0 to 101, party lines being strictly drawn or and against. Senator Hill, of New V'ork, who is the author of a similar bill n the Senate. 'was on the floor while the joto was boinf? taken. Quito a jubilant iomonstration was made by the Demoiats when the result was announced. The Republicans, finding that the Democrats had their own quorum present, were itopned from filibustering by the iron-clad rder under which the House was operating, beyond demanding an yea and nay 'ote on the Burrows and Lacey amendnents. When the Senate convened, Wednesday, welve members were present. Repeal )ill was taken up at 11:45. Mr. Uockrell esumed his speech, begun Tuesday, igainst repeal. At '2:10 Mr. Cockrell Melded the lloor to Mr. Smith, of New lersey, who spoke in favor of repeal. tVhen Mr. Smith had finished, Mr. Irby, f South Carolina, addressed the Senate n opposition to repeal. He said he spoke is a farmer, being the only member of the Senate whose sole occupation was farmng. He was opposed to the bill as a man md as a Democrat. He believed in Democratic principles as he did in the Riblo. 'That is pretty rough on the Bible,- said i Republican Senator from New England. VI r. irby said lie would not be coerced, le despised the patronage which had been ;o ruthlessly withheld from 00 per cent, of .he honest Democrats of his State. Mr. Cockrell resumed the floor on the repeal Dill. ''If the present administration," ;aid Mr. Uockrell. "was attempting to orce upon the country the principle that diver dollars were to be redeemed in gold t was not democracy. If it was shown to Mi true he would say, 'halt, halt'. The people are not ready for that. They will never sanction it, never." t 5:15 Mr. Uockrell concluded his speech. At 6 o'clock the usual hour for adjournment, Mr. Allen was speaking. Mr. Dubois interrupted with an appeal to Mr. Voorhees, asking if he was going to make :he usual motion to adjourn. 4T feel it to ?e my highest duty," said Mr. Voorhees, 'not to make that motion this evening, out on the contrary, to ask the Senato to ?tay together in continuous session until uhe pending measure is disposed of." Mr. Dubois said the statement of the Senator :'rom Indiana meant that the Senate was :o be held in -continuous-session until the pending bill was brought to a vote or un;.il it was demonstrated that it could not ae brought to a vote. "You know as well A' hen you start in as you will when you emerge from the struggle that you must fail. With conditions as they exist in the Senate there is ao hope of radical legislation. Mr. Voorhees replied at great length. He suggested to Mr. Dubois the wisdom of the saying, "Let not him that girdeth on his armor boast himself as he thatputteth it off. We will see who will fail in this transaction before we are done. I feel that my feet are on a rock and there I shall stand and vindicate a great and mighty principle." Mr. Voorhees said it had been suggested to him frequently by letter and in the press to go outside of the rules and appeal to the presiding officer of the Senate to sustain him in a motion not provided for in the rules, to proceed to a vote. "I would as soon," said he,, "think of committing open high treason or private murder as to commit such a crime." Mr. Harris of Tennessee, after referring to the courteous treatment all Senators, had received at the hands of Senator Voorhees, remarked that if he had been the veriest of martinets he would have been powerless to secure action. "For myself," said Mr. Harris," and I know I voice the sentiment of several Senators on this side of the chamber, who like myself will never vote for the passage of unconditional repeal, I will never ask the Senate to adjourn. Nor will I vote for adjournment. The Senator from Indiana shall have the session, so far as I can control it, as long as he may desire it." From 7 o'clock till 11 o'clock the debate continued without any unusual features, Mr. Ailen still retaining the fioor. Exactly at 12 o'clock Mr. Dubois arose and said as he looiced about the chamber: "Mr. President, i believe that a quorum is not present." The Vice-president directed the clerk to call the roll. From the cloak rooms and entrances the Senators crowded into the chamber. When the roll call had been completed Mr. Stevenson announced that fifty-five Senators were present a quorum and directed Senator Allen to proceed. The Nebraska!! promptly took the door again and the quorum as promptly began disappearing through cloak room doors. At V,:4;" a. m. Mr. Dubois again called the attention of the Vice-President to the fact that no quo rum was present, and in obedience to the electrical signahtho oeeuuants of the cloak rooms again iiled hastih into the chamber. As the Vice-President announedd that tifty-three Senators, a quorum, was present, Mr. Palmer, hiking rather jaded and fagged out. called attention to the fact that Mr. Dubois, who had asked for a call of the donate, had not answered to

his name. He wanted to know if tnu was proper in a pai liamontary sense. The repealers were snowing their teeth. Mr. Allen began reading from Chadwfck's political economy. Now and then he would pause to make a comment on a striking passage or take a sip from the dilapidated, ov;r-worked lemon that lay on his desk. At 1 a. m. .Mr. Hoar wearily Interrupted Mr. Allen to ask him if he was not reading to show that there was not an overproduction of agricultural products, lie wanted to know candidly whether the Nebraskan did not think hia speech was an overproduction. Mr. Allen hotly asked Mr. Hoar if he wanted to insult him, whereupon the Senator from Massachusetts apologized humbly and oquilibrum was restored. At 1:45 the galleries were almost empty. The House, Wednesday, began the consideration of the McCreary bill to extend the provisions of the Geary act for six months under a special provision that it shall be considered until disposed of. Only two speeches were made by Mr. McCrearv, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, in support, and by Mr. Geary, the author of the old law. in antagonism. Mr. Geary made a violent attack on the administration, and especially upon Attorney Genera! Oihey. for failure to enforce the Geary law. His remarks created a sensation. Thursday's sunrise found the Senate of the United States still in session. Senator Allen's staying qualities had proved phenomenal. An altercation hetwefffi Messrs. Allen and Palmer resulted in the pledge of both gentlemen to give 103 each to some charity.- The poiRtit'jicLrj'iiornm'' was raised by Mr. Shoup and roll call showed but forty members present. Ser-gcant-at-arms was ordered to find the p.bsentces; which was done, and the VicePresident announced" the presence of a quorum. cPar liamentary point was made by Mr. Wolcott that a quorum was not a majority of the members chosen to the Senate. The VicePresident ruled that th Senate being composed of eighty-five members fortythree was a quorum. M: Wolcott appealed and his appeal was laid on tho table 38 to 5. The quorum question was disposed of a fow minutes before S o'clock, and Mr. Allen arose apparently as-fresh and vigorous as when he began fourteen hours before, while ho talked about the shyloeks and of the Trojan horse, told of tho voyage and landing of- the pilgrims on the New Englandshore, pictured those of the Acadian peasants, sketched the events leading up to the revolutionary war and told how that conflict was fought and won. At quarter past 3 Mr. Alien concluded his long speech by saying that he yielded the fioor to Mr. Martin, of Kansas. To this proceeding Mr, Voorheefi took exceptions and asked if he proposed to farm out the floor. Mr, Allen declared that he had no such intention. Mr, Voorhees interrupted by moving to lay the PefTer amendment on the tableThe result showed that there were fifty vSenators voting, seven morethan a quorum yeas r3, nays 17. When the chair had announced the vote and stated that the Poller amendment had been laid on the table Mr. Voorhees was recognized. He stated that the Peffer amendment to the bill was the only one pending, except that offered by the eommr tee-on finance, which is the Wilson, or Huse brli No. 1. Mr. Martin, of Kansas, got the floor at 0:30 o'clock and began a plea for the free coinage of silver. At noon there was no perceptible change. As the steam whistles and bells scattered over the city announced the " hour of midday. Senator Martin still had the floor. There was another call of the Senato at 12:50, and forty-four Senators responded. Mr. Martin resumed his speech. The afternoon was spent in repeated calls for a quorum and roil calls. -Mr. Voorhees gave notice that he would insist on the attendance of absentees, and would compel their attendance. Mr. Stewart occupied the time after Martin in speaking acrainst repeal. At 10:15 p. m. Mr. Wolcott called for a quorum. Only thirtynine Senators replied to their names, and on motion of Mr. Voorhees tho Sergeant-at-Arms was directed vO compel the attendance of absent members, but before it became necessary to act on the order four others came into the hall, thus making the quorum, and Mr. Stewart continued. At the next roll call an hour elapsed before a quorum was secured. At l:0i a. in., Friday morning, Mr. lilackburn came in, thus completing the quorum. At 1:30 a. m. the Senate was again without a quorum. At 1:40 a. m. sergeant-at-arms reported that two Senators were absent from the city, twelve had been excused by the Senate, four answered the summons by the statement, that they were too ill to attend, nine in the capitol made no answer and sixteen were reported as absent from their residences and could not be found. Mr. Voorhees immediately arose and said: "Mr. President, I fee! that I have done my duty in this matter and without comment I now move that the Senate adjourn." The motion was unanimously agreed to and in an instant the Senate chamber was deserted, after a continuous session of thirty-eight hours and forty minutes. FREIGHT TRAIN STOLEN. Captured by Armed Miners from California and New Mexico. Southern Pacific officials are considerably excited over news wired from points along the line concerning the capture of one of their freight trains at Delrio by a band of sixty-live armed men, who claim to be minors from California and New Mexico. They took possession of a train, and drove off the crew and all others who attempted to dissuade them. They say they have been driven to desperation by delay of the Senate in settiintr tho silver question, so that business may be resumed in the silver-producing States, and that

j they propose going to Alabama to take ! the plae of the striking miners, as it is j now work or starvation with them. They are running the. train on their own sched1 ule, and the disp; tchers are puzzled in or-

uer 10 avoid any collision wiin regular trains. They stop at the different towns and levy trihute of provisions, but. so far, have eommit ted no oth.-r depredations, iioing well armed and determined, ofticers dare not attack them unless they can muster a sufficient posse, which can not he done except in the cities. It is expected they will abandon the train near the end of "the division, go aro inrt the city, and. by capturing other trains, proceed on their .iourney. To vaccinate or not is the tuestirm of the hour at Yorktown. and until it is de cided finally some narents who do not view with friendliness the idea of compulsory vaccination will withhold theii children from tchool.
