above all tho cltlos of tbo ancient w orld, and her
natural surroundings abovothosoof thonotod
cities of to day. The problems prcscntel in city
work, bridges, buildings, ic, he auggestod,
should put tbo architects In tho mood of tho
, pious ancient w ho. when ho found himself In an
V almost iinposslblo task, droppoil to his knees
and thanked tho Lord that ho had been reserved
for so big a Job.
Augustus Thomas kept as carefully away
from the subject of discussion as though It had
been a toast given him to answer to. and de
Toted bimsclffora considerable time to enter
taining tho company In lighter vein. Forsak
ing that line, ho said In concluding:
"Oho us a beautiful city and wo 11 glvo tbo
Ideal city, (live us a city as beautiful as the ca
thedrals, ana n c shall bo devout In our attltudo
to tho State. The best community does not glvo

or ethically. Is not in tho keeping of tho 70,000.
000 people, nor of the -100. but In the brains of

is wont to call a dream of Utopia."
Mr. Thomas, who had been guyed somo by tho
men ho spent so much tlmo "Jollying," was
vigorously applauded for bla little peroration,
lie was followed by Montgomery Schuyler, who
expressed tho wish that Iho Intent of the new
charter In matters of art might cortainly bo
lived up to.
The Rev. Dr. Mlnot Savngo said that ho had
often wished, as ho had travelled over this
country, that v. o bad mora architects in sensi
tive as tho archltoct of tho Hotel do VHIo at
Brussels that very beautiful building who,
because be found ono artistic fault in it, com
mitted suicide. He told of Gen. Phil Sheridan's

Savannah, Os,, Fob. 10. Tho proceedings in
tho trial of Capt. O. M. Cartor before tho court
martial wero more llvoly to-day than they havo
bcon for sororal days. Copt. Jacob Paulson
caused n sensation by n refusal to answer cor
tain questions put to him by tho prosecution.
Tho investigation of specifications 8, 0 and 10
of chargo number two wns gone into'nulto
fully, Tho second charge accuses Cnpt. Carter
of making false nnd fraudulent claims against
tho Government. Specifications 8 nnd 0 havo
referenco to ropalilng the garden bank training
wall at this Port In Drcombor, lBOtl.
It Is nllogcd that under authority to have thlB
wall repaired Cnpt. Carter paid for sinking
ptloa that should havo been driven nt the ex
pense of tho Atlantic Contracting Company.
Tho ninth specification charges conduct unbe
coming an officer nnd deals with tho corres

the United States of lands on Hutchinson

lottor to L. Paulding it Is asserted that Capt.

Gen. W. P. Cralghlll, Chlof of Engineers of tho
United Statos Army, In this letter ha snld tho
work was abandonod becauso oxccsslvo rentals
wcro demanded by property owners, many of
whom hnd bought property required for specu
lative purposes.
Capt. Jacob Paulson, President of tho Pro
peller Towbont Company and of tho Savannah
Drcdalng Company, two big Savannah corpora
tions, becamo very Indignant at certain ques
tions asked by tho Judgo Advocato nnd called
upon tho court to protoct him. Ho said ho was
not on trial and would not answer nnv questions
unless ho cared to do so. This declaration camo
from him whon ho was asked if thero was an
understanding among tho dredging companies
hero relative to bidding on Government work.
Tho Propoller Towboat Company bid against
tho Atlantlo Contracting Company In 18U2 and
lost a contrnct. Mr. Blair, attorney for Capt,
Carter, askod tho court to tell Cnpt. Paulson
that tho Attorney-Goncral hnd rulod recontly
that n wltnoss need not reply to n question in a
court-martial unless ho desirod totlo so.
"Thero is no punishment for his not answer
ing," said Prcsidont Otis. Tho Judge-Advocato
becamo very much oxclted over tho Interruption
of Mr. Blair. Ho said it was not lnw that a
wltnoss need not answor n question, even if it
was tho Attnniey-Gcnernrs opinion. He would
never censo to rnlso his volco against such a de
cision. Thero was no penalty attached for a
refusal to answer, but It was becauso thoro was
thought to bo no nocessltr for It."
Capt. Paulson declined to answer the ques
tion. Ho Is tho llrst witness who has declined
to answer tho qucrlos of the Judge-Advocato.
Copt. Paulsen sold that Capt. Cartor Is o stock
holder In his compnny. Ho owns ISO shares of
stock, tho par valuo of which is $100 per share.
Tho President did not know who sold him tho
stock. Ho had owned it a long time.
"Isn't B. D. Green a stockholder in your com
pany also I"
"No, sir."
"Is John F. Gnynor!"
"Yes, Bir."
It was after answering those questions that
Capt. Paulson refused to renly to tho question of
tho Judgo-Advocnterclatho to tho understand
ing betwocn tho dredging companies about
bidding on work. Tho Judge-Advocato took
up the matter of tho Propoller Towtont Com
pany's hid on tho work In tho Savannah harbor.
Capt, Paulsen know little about tho contract.
Ho, did not know how certain figures had been
arrived at. Ho will go on tho stand again in
tho morning. It required somo coaxing on tho
part of tho Judge-Advocato to got Capt. Paul
sen to admit that Capt. Carter wob a stock
holder In his company. ...
"Do you seo any stockholders of tho Propeller
Towboat Company In the room!" he asked tho
President.
"No. sir; I don't think so."
"Look around carefully now and seol
"Yes. tboro Is Mr. Minis; ho Is a stockholder."
"Look 'close, Capt, Paulsen, isn't thero some

IDENTIFIERS ALL AT SEA.

There wero a scoro of Identifiers nt tho
Morgue yesterday, all of whom bollovcd thqy
possossod knowledgo which would lift the veil
of mystery surrounding tho limbless body found
botwoon two East Blver forry slips on Tuesday.
Sovoral persons believed tho body wns that of
Albert Block, who lived at 210 West Twelfth
street. Block's wlfo died on Wednnsdov of last
wcok, and ho disappeared on tho following
morning, after making arrangements for his
wife's funeral,
Capt.McClusky, Chlof of tho Dotoctlvo Bureau,
clung to Iho Blook cluo all day, and at night Bat
In his offlco at Pollco Hoadquartors and mado
this statement to tho roportcrs:
"Tho body was identified to-day positively, as
noar ns can bo under tho circumstances, ns that
or Albert Block, 43 years old, of 240 West
Twelfth street. Tho Identification wns
mndo by Albert Block's brothers, Blchard
W. and Edward II. Block, saloon kcopcrs, of
14 Bcado street, and John B. Block, liveryman,
of 130 Mott street, Sanford G. Cablo of 200
West Twelfth street, nnil Blchard C. Sontor, nn
undertaker of 104 Spring street. They identified
tho man by IiIb general build, hla probnblo height,
by his ear and his neck. They said Albert
Block had a nocultarly shaped nock a flat
neck. They Bald If they hnd tho legs thoy would
havo mndo tho Identification absolute, as tbo
man had a varicoso vein In ono leg."
All this wns discounted by tho statement
of Paul Farrell, tho night clerk of tho
Mnjostio lodging houso at 270 Bowery.
"Albert Block's body was sent to tho
Murguo from this place, tho MajoBtlc, on
Sunuay night," snul Farrell. "Ho was
found dead in bed In room 338. which ho hired
tbo night bofore, registering under tho namo of
John Eagan. At least I bclloiolt was tho body
of Albort Block. It was not mutilated nt tho
timo It was sent to tho Morgue.
"After finding Block dead In bed I notified tho
pollco. Thoy found among his effects a registra
tion certificate bearing tuu nnmo Albert Block
and the address 240 West Twelfth stroot."
At 200 West Tw clfth Btrcct, w hero Capt, Mc
Clusky said Cable rcsldod. It was stated that no
person named Cablo lived there. John P. Block,
tho Mott street brother of Alfred, denied Capt.
McClusky's statement that ho was ono of tho
Identifiers. " I haven't been near tho Morgue,"
ho said.
At midnight Dotoctlvo Scrgonnt Heap of tho
Central Olllco visited tho Morgue with Detective
Scrgoaut Potroslnl. Both had known Albert
Block in life. When they glanced at tho body
labelled "John Eugan" Detcctlvo Heap said:
" That Is Albert Block'B corpse. I know Block
for twenty years, over since his father kopt a
&rocery storo on tho Bowery. This Knocks tho
attorn out of tbo story that tho mutilated re
mains aro thoso of Block."
Tho two bodies havo beon in boxes adjoining
each other for tbo past throo days, but Iho
Morgue attendants nevor thought of showing
anything but tho headless corpsa to visitors
looking for men who wcro missing."

Albany, Feb. 10. Assemblyman Bondy of
Syracuse will introduce next week a bill pro
viding for the issue of licenses to sell alo, beer,
and light wines at about one-fourth tho
rates for regular licenses under tho
Raines law. Ho and Senator Wblto of
Syracuse have had the bill In contemplation for
somo tlmo, and hnvo only been awaiting tho ap
proval of Gov. Black. This, It was said to-day,
had beon promised In case the bill can be
put through. Thero Is an oxcollent chanco
of Its passing tho Assembly with tho
aid of Democratic votos, but in tbo Scnato it
will run up against a snag. Senator Italnes
will tight It tooth and nail, and so will most of
tho up-country Republicans.
It must bo rememberod that tho Senato Is the
samo as that which passed tho original Ralnos
law, and the proposition contalnod In tho Bondy
bill was rejected at that time, although Bondy
and Senator Whlto urged It as strenuously then
as now. Mr. Bondy introduced a similar bill
two years ago, just after the Raines bill
was passed, but ha found that tho op
position in tbo Senato under tho
lead of Italnes was so strong that
his project w as hopeless, oven If ho could get tho
bill through tho Assembly. So tho bill whs
dropped and was nover hoard of after Its intro
duction. At that tlmo It was urged, as It will bo urged
now. that such a law would Induce many saloon
keepers to tako out tbe lower priced licenses
nnd thou go nlioad and sell tno samo class of
liquors that they do now. Tbo impossibility of
constant auponislon lo nrnvent this modifica
tion of Iho "speak-easy plan was considered
an Insurmountable harrier.
Although Messrs. Bondy nnd Whlto think tho
Goornnr would bo with thorn in tho proposed
law. It may Bafoly bo said that they will not un
dertake to do anything without, consulting tho
party loaders throughout tho State.
Thero will bo no attempt to make tho bill a
party measure. All that its backcis hope for is
to prevent tbo party from opposing tho bill as a
whole. They will then be content to freo lunco
It through tho Assembly with Republican nnd
Democratic votes, and trust to luck In tbe Senato.

"WHO IS II AT A IID, ANYHOW t
An Attempt to Answer Thnt Question In tho
House Results In a Dny of Filibustering1.
Wasiiinoton, Fob. 10. Tho proceedings In
tho Houso to-day, to tho pooplo In the secret,
wero a screaming farco, but tho principal actors
went through their parts as If enacting heavy
tragedy. What to do with tho day had been a
Question seriously ccnsldorcd by tho Republican
managers, who held a conference beforo tho
hour of mooting to dicido upon a programme.
It was arranged to lot Mr. Loud's bill, to rcgu
lato second-class postal rates, bold tho floor as
tbo least obnoxious measure on tho calendar,
and with this understanding on their part they
repaired to tho hall. At almost tho first pop of
tbo legislative gun tho proceedings took a turn
which roltovcd tho managers of nil further anx
iety, oxcopt to keep them going.
Sovoral days ago, in ono of tho "prosperity"
debates. Bonio Republican momber, in a spirit
of fun. asked Mr. Ilandy (Dcin., Del.), who had
rcforred to tho Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, "Who
is Baynrd, anyhow I" Mr. llnndy thought ho
would nnswor tbo question to-day. After sev
eral interruptions ho said that tho llttlo Stato
of Delaware never In its history bad been
without a citizen who was of national repute.
The gentleman whoso famo for a quarter of a
century past wns most familiar to the peoplo of
tho country was Thomas F. Baynrd.
At this point Mr. Perkins' (Hep., la.) asked
what posBlblo relation Mr. Bayard's famo could
bnv o to the bill before tho House.
Mr. Handy Now. I hope tno gentloman will
not Interrupt my spoeth with questions bb for
eign to it as tboy may possibly bo to tho bill ho
Iioh In cbnrgo. (Ltughtcr.
Mr. Handy attempted to proceed, but was
called to order by Mr. Dalzcll (Hep.. Pa.). Par
liamentary fencing for tho prlvllogoof continu
ing availed Handy nothing, and ho abandoned
tho attempt, saying ho would find his opportu
nity at another time.
This Incensed Mr. Bailey and tho Democratic
mouthers to such a degree that they spent tho
rcBt of tho day filibustering, under the evident
impression that they were thereby having re-
engc upon the Bcpubllcan side nnd the Speaker,
when, in fact, they were doing better for tho
Republicans than they could havo dono for
themselves. Tho session camo to an end, prac
tically nothing having been accomplished, after
tbo IScnubllcnn majority had voted to adjourn
until Monduy. thereby cutting the private calen
dar out of a day's consideration, An agreement
was reached to tako up tbo Bankruptcy bill on
Wcdnosdny noxt nnd voto upon it at 4 P. M.
tbo follow ing Monday.

It is the Impression, however, tnat no general
muasurowill bo reported to the Houso. This
lmproiHion Is founded on lliu belief that tho
members of tho committeo will yield their In
dividual desires to tho otherwise almost unan
imous sentiment of the Itcpiibllcnn members
that it would ho Inexpedient and unwlso to
prctent a gencrnl hill nt this time. Tho most
Hint 1b expected from tho commllteo Is the bill,
long sinco prepared, to curry Into effect tho
recommendations of tho President.
