Edttor Star:-Evsfy person of taste will admit
that In the establishment OF our city with
statues and monuments many grave errors have
been committed. The most superb sites for
effective decoration have been spoiled by having
inappropriate monuments erected thereon. For
instance, the cemeterial group of white marble
before the western front OF the Capitol is sadly
out OF place, and at distance it is undiStin-
gulshabie. colossal, plainly discerned figure
OF bronze or grand fountain would have been
the proper thing. 1t was in very bad taste to
propose another mounted warrior for street
circle while that section already numbers four
such. This beautiful site should have been oc-
cupfed either by large fountain or a monument
tai design in the form of an octagOn. when a
front view would have been presented to each
OF the eight cOnvergent streets. In that case
the Thomas monument should have been put
up in street circle, to establish something ike

DISASTER TO THE BIG WAIL-The huge wall
OF the Washington and Georgetown Car COM
pany, on the line of the tOwpath of the canal
shows signs this morning of having given away
about two or three inches during the night. It
has partedf rom the stable wall, which has been
built up to 1T, about one inch, and this WALL too
has settled, and is much out of level The Slls-
tanning wall OF masonry was built leaning a
little to the north, and is now pushed out at the
top over plumb towards the canal. 1t Is said
that the defect Is In the foundation, which went
only few feet below the tOwpath, and not
down to level with the bottom OF the canal,
and It Is said that the earth between the wall
and the canal, e., the tOwpath, is not sufficient
to sustain the weight OF the wall, which is eight
feet wide at the foundation and four feet at the
summit. People have been visiting the place
can save the wall, but that it will have to be
taken down.
