THE BRIGHTON BEACH HOTEL.

New York, April 2. - The big Brighton Beach hotel will be moved on Tuesday or Wednesday, and the preparations are all completed. The big building rests on 124 flat-cars, made of iron, equally distributed on twenty-four tracks, the average capacity of each car being 60,000 pounds. Ten locomotives will be necessary to pull the building back on the beach. The work will cost from $60,000 to $75,000.

Recent heavy rains have caused the rear walls of the Mississippi capitol building at Jackson to sink, and it is estimated that $100,000 will be necessary to make it safe.
