A large number of worBingmen who
received tickets for work on the Pater-

and from time to time short speeches of
an infammatory nature were made from
wagons and barrels. They went to the

men stood around in the cold. Then
they tore down fences and the rustic

LIEUTENANT OF POLICE.

MR.. EDITOR do not like the idea
of your flank movement on the Office of
Lieutenant of Police. You seem to think
this officer has no duty to perform, and
as very many of your readers may be Ia
boring under the same impression, I take
this occasion to set their minds at rest.
The Office Of Lieutenant of police is
indeed a responsible one, and the salary
---one thousand dollars-is entirely in
adequate for the duties performed. In
the first place this official is compelled
to be at police headquarters by nine
O'Clock each morning, reaching it by
means of free pass on the horse rail.
road. After toasting his feet-the stove
is always red hottie Lieutenant ia
handed the morning paper by the jani-
tor, then he sets himself in q huge arm
chair at the front window, and here he
is compelled to sit till twelve o'clock,
when he halls passing horse car, and
is conveyed to his domicile, whore he
usually passes two hours at dinner. He
returns to headquarters for an hour OF
two, then he returns to his home, where
he remains land he is good nan for
doing so,) until next day, when he goes
through the same routine.
He smokes huge pipe, and reads
the papers, and keeps the stove hot.
and tells the "droppers-in" all about
New York two or three thousand years
ago, and for this the Lieutenant of po-
lice receives a meaere sa'ary Il only tna
thousand dollars year. 1t is true the
Lieutenant never makes any arrests
nor performs any other duty, but how
much more have we a right to expect
for the money which We regularly pay
him.
Your reflections on the Office are un-
just. Why I wouldn't smoke his old
pipe an hour each day for all the money
the place is worth. Let us have peace.

MUNICIPAL ECONOMY.

The payers are at present very
much interested in knowing what the
incoming members of the city council
propose to do-especially 80 far as it re-
lates to the reduction Of the salaries OF
the off1oe-holders. Those who want Of
fee seem to be the most interested, and
they denounce The MONITOR in strong
terms. We want these &c tlemen to re-
member that the offices will not here
after be recognized as sinecures for tn
reward of those who think the salvation
of party depends upon the amount OF
work which they do at the polls on cleo
ton day. The people want honest, cap
able men put in place, and there is now
no trouble in finding the best ma erials
and at much lower salaries than are
paid at present.
The city fathers can reduce the salary
account one third next year; and in
these hard, dull times such measure
of reform is imperatively demanded.
The overburdened PEG. lie are paying
princely salaries-in many cases to iu-
competent, ignorant and lazy men. We
shall wait and see how far the city coun-
cilmen regard the wishes of the people,
now grooming under enormous expen-
ditures,

TERRIBLE shIPWRECK.

The threatened war between America
and Spain has been temporarily forgot
ten, and yesterday dispatches flashed
across the Atlantic, announcing terri
BILE disaster to the Vile du Havre, on
the passage from New York to Havre.
The vessel was run down at sea on the
23d of November by the British ship
Loeb Earn. More than two hundred
lives were lost. The vessel sunk in
twelve minutes. Among the passengers
saved are two women.
The Vile du Havre experienced a
thick fog until the Goth. At the time
of the collision the weather was clear
little wind was blowing, but there was a
heavy sea. The captain had just retir-
ed, and the second officer was III charge
Fhe lights on the steamer were all right.
The collision was wholly unexpected.
The Loeb Earn struck the steamer
amidships, and made chasm twelve
feet deep and from twenty five to thirty
five feet wide. The exact position
of the Vile du Havre at the time
was lat. forty-seven degrees, and twenty
one minutes Ion. tlirty-tive degrees,
and thirty-one minutes. Panic took
possession of the passengers. Five
minutes after the collision the main and
mizzenmasts fell across two large boat s
which were filled with people and ready
for launching. The boats were crushed
to pieces, and many of their occupants
killed and injured
In the brief int rval between the col
lision and the sinking of the steamer
the crew were able to launch only a
whale boat and the Captains gig.
The Loeb Earn went mile before
stopping. She then got out four boats
to pick up the people struggling in the
water Meanwhile the whale boat I'M
der the command Of the second lieuten-
ant of the Vail du Havre picked up one
load Of those who were clinging to the
planks, spars, etc, and took them to the
Loeb Earn. She retired to the scene
and rescued another load.
Capt. Surmont, who remained on
deck to the last, was rescued by this
boat three quarters of an hour after the
collision. One of his officers swan n
mile to the Loch Earn, and was haul
ed on board with rope.
The boats continued to search the
waters in tho vicinity of the disaster I'M
til there was no hope of saving more
lives. The cold was intense. Many OF
the survivors were immersed two hours,
and were almost lifeless when rescued.
The ship Trimountain sighted the
Loeb Earn at eight a. M, six hours af
ter the sinking of the steamer, and re
ceived the survivors, as before reported
The saved speak in the highest terms
of the kindness of Capt. Urquhart, her
commander.
There were six stowaways on board the
Vile du Havre.
Later accounts made the date of the
collision the 22d instead of the 23l nit.
Some say the captain of the Loeb Earn
intended to proceed to New York. A
vessel which arrived at Bristol reports
speaking her with ten survivors of the
Vile du Havre on board.

REMOVAL Of POLICE HEADQUARTERS.

REMOVAL Of POLICE HEADQUARTERS
1t is now generally understood that
the new city council will direct a vaca.
ton of the lower part of Market hall
the market q having proved failure o
month after it was fitted up. THE Mon
IroR has always advocated the lower
floor being pvt to some use, and the
tirss step to be taken is to fit up por-
ton of it for police purposes. This
year but one thousand two hundred and
seventy dollars has been derived as
revenue, and ont of this the clerk has
received twelve hundred dollars to pay
for gas, coal, water, cleaning, interest,
etc.
Every taxpayer is in favor of the es-
Establishment of police headquarters in
this building, which shall hereafter be
designated as "City Hail." and petit
tions are now being signed to set apart
the remainder of the lower floor as an
armory and drill room for tho compan.
les OF the Third regiment. The people
look upon this also with great favor,
and council will be asked to SO arrange
the place, as will, with triAing expen-
diture, give the troops a proper place
in which to maintain their organization
and esprit dn corps. The entire second
floor of the building is now needed for
Offices, and if the old drill room, (now
too small for any of The companies is
taken for the new council chamber, and
additional offices, the present chamber
will be ready for meeting of the school
commissioners, tax commissioners. etc.
