delier, with concealed electric lights, com
pletes .the handsome effect.
The library, to the left of the entrance,
is probably the most attractive room
in the house.. The original walnut wains
coating and mantels are retained, while
the Walls are done in watered turkey red.
The furnishings are mahogany, with
leather upholstery.
THE RECEPTION ROOMS.
The large double reception rooms, which
have been the distress of every mistress
of the -mansion, are now ideal rooms.
A scheme of white is carried out. with old
rose walls and quartered oak floors.
The first lady of the State may now
give her receptions and not feel that
musty, ugly walls look down upon faded
and moth-eaten carpets.
The floors of the first-floor are of pol
ished oak. with pattern borders and her
ring bone centers. The mansion is lighted
with electricity, the globes being at
tached to old-fashioned ■ chandeliers,
sparkling with myriads of prisms. Steam
heat has been put in, taking the place of
hot. air. > :
Upstairs 'the woodwork is done- in white
enamel and the flooring is of bird^-eve.
maple. The Executive chamber is blue
arid the guest chamber is done in pale
blue. The nursery is done ,;in flowered
paper, with white trimmings. The other
rooms are in green arid pink. --The baths
are all in white.
; - THE DINING ROOM.
The dining room is still in. the basement,
but the staircase and. halls leading down
to it have been painted white, and the
room itself has been wainscoated to the
windows and enameled white. The walls
are of tapestried paper, and a handsome
eight-light chandelier of a most unique
style, throwing the lights on the table
and yet too low to be. in the eyes of the
guests, makes the room perfect.
The general effect of the whole interior
is all that could be wished- Much credit
is due R. L. Peters and Noland & Bask
erville, who have gone about their worK
with the utmost care and are fully re
warded for their labors in the results
attained. ? "

THIS JURY A TERROR
TO CITY'S EVIL DOERS.
Prisoners in City Jail Seeking Con
tinuances Rather Than Face the
• Present Composition.
The present jury in the Hustings Court
is one after the heart of Judge Witt and
Commonwealth's Attorney Richardson. ,It
has gotten such a reputation. for giving
good long penitentiary terms that all of
the prisoners confined in the city jail
awaiting trial are seeking to have u.eir
cases postponed a month rather than to
face it. The prisoners evidently are of
the opinion that it would be better to
wait another month and save possibly a
year or two on Oregon Hill, than to be
tried during this term of court.
Six colored people have been convicted
dm ing the term, with an aggregate of
thirty-two years in the penitentiary.
There have been several acquittals and
two or three., jail sentences, but in every
case where the evidence justified, the
jury laid it on heavily. . ,
Commonwealth's Attorney Richardson
said this afternoon that if the court could
have such'a jury every term it would not
be long before there would be no need
for half of the trials in the Hustings
Court. .;• ' '■' ■ \ \ '
'■■ Tom Palmer, colored, was acquitted yes
terday morning of ; the charge of stealing
a sum of money from John Smith.
Thomas Pearson was given five years for
housebreaking. • and Minnie Johnson went
to the city jail for six months for petit
larceny. There are yet a number of cases
to be disposed of during -thl3 term of the
court. - . . :_'
