into two freight cars detached from a pre-
ceding train and left standing on the track.
The locomotive turned upside down. The

others were slightly injured. The wounded

AN ARMIsTICE FOR TWO MONTHS
A Reuter- dispatch from Belgrade an

The Washipston llonunent

Editor 6dr:-I have perused with interest
the communication In The STAR OF this
evening, which exposes "the learned ignor-
ance" OF our great metropolitan architect in
relation to the monumental character or
obelisks. 1t Is useless to discuss at this late
day the plan of the Washington National
Monument. 1t was amply considered at the
time OF Its adoption, and the only objection
ever raised to 1t was the pantheon, which
was never adopted by the society, but left as
an open question until within q very short
period, when, am Informed, IL was rejected
The monument is to be An obelisk, without
any complication, which has in all time
been admired for its simplicity, beauty, and
graceful form by persons and nations OF the
highest artistic taste. Besides, the plan was
approved by Congress during the recent ses-
sion In making An appropriation towards its
completion. The fact, also, of Its being one
third finished precludes the idea Of any
other plan being substituted for IL. The fol-
lowing paragraph, picked up In the street,
has juft been handed to me, and Ii the infor-
nation 1t contains is true, the public will
no doubt be glad TO learn that the architect,
who led the onslaught recently made upon
the monument In the association OF archi.
tects, can be reconciled to the obelisk and
will not insist upon pulling 1t down, II he is
per to put little OF his ornamental
fancy work upon Ii:
"Mr. G. condescendipgly assents TO the
Washington monument being completed on
the present plan, provided that IL shall be
ornamented with few bay windows, veran-
dahs, and Mansard roof"
