DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN CINCIN
NATI.
A Railroad DenSt R0rued

CINCINNATI, August 30.-AbOut one
O'Clock this morning the Dayton Short-iine
railroad freight depot was consumed by Ore
together with the con tents. The fire origin.
ated amongst lot Of coal oil barrels, and IN
q manner lot yet explained. The depot wa
q substantial brick structure, four hundre
feet long and eighty feet wide, and was val
ued at $40 600. There was an unusual,y
large amohpt OF freight of ali descriptions
stored in the building, principally for mer
chants in this city. The loss GA the freight
Is variousIy estimated at from $4,000 to
300, 900, upon which there is very little Il
any insurance. AS the law makes railroad
companies responsible for gooIs stored IN
four hours, large part OF the loss will fal
upon the consignees. Most OF the freigh
was stored two or three days.

The washington Monument.

The Washington Monument society, with
view OF ascertaining officially their pres
ent connection with the work, and their re-
lation to the monument commission, have
obtained from the Attorney General the fol-
lowing statement OF his construction OF the
act of Congress on the subject He says:
'The proviso of the act that nothing in the
act shall be construed 'as to prohibit said
society from continuing its organization for
the purpose Of soliciting and collecting
money and material frem the states, asso
Citations and the people, In aid of the COM
pletiOn OF the monument, and acting in ad-
visory and CO Cooperative capacity with the
comm issioners until the completion and
dedication of the same indicates that Con-
gress considered that the sum Appropriated
might not be sufficient TO complete the
work. Otherwise. the Invitation thus ex-
tended to the society would be superfluous.
And ii seems to be q necessary inference
from this provision allowing the society to
continue It's organization for those purposes,
Ing the object of The appropriation, to con
tlIlUe the construction of the Washington
monument that Congress meant to au-
thOr1Ze the commission TO proceed as far
as possible by the use OF the annual sums
appropriated, and such money and mate
rails as might be collected by the society;
that is TO say, to continue the construction
and TO complete 1t If possible with the
means so provided. The act, 1t is true, is en-
titled AN act providing for the completion
OF the washington Monument but its pro-
visions do not correspond with its title,
these referring only to the continuance of the
construction of the monument, and no where
declaring that IL shall be completed within
the sum appropriated. And am of opinion
that In the construction, the continuance OF
which Is thus provided for, 1t was understood
and intended that the plan adopted aud
partly executed by the society must be fo,-
lowed by the commission, there being no
where in the act either by terms or i'm plica-
ton and discretion conferred upon the COM
mission In that respect"
The society is accordingly embracing all
opportune means of raising funds for the
completion OF the WORK. The Contingent
subscriptions made by lodges and assO sis
lions OF various kinds have now become q ue
aid will be collected. A new circular has
been issued, asking annual subscr ptions for
term not exceeding four years, to wards the
completion OF the monument, payable on the
I'D OF February In each of these years. The
design Is 10 procure before the clos OF tue
Centennial year such annual subscriptions
as will, with the S20O,0O0 appropriated by
Congress, fully complete the monument.
