THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
Work stopped ror want OF Iron-Thcory
Us to Its DETECTION from Perpendicular.

The work on the Washington Monu-
ment has been stopped, owing to the delay in fur
nishing the material for the iron framework which
supports the elevator. The Phoenix Iron Com.
pany of Trenton, which has the contract, has been
unable to FIJI this order, OH account of the great
pressure OF work, the demand for iron this fall be-
ing unusually heavy. They expect, however, to
be able to furnish the iron by the LIST Of October
Captain Davis, the engineer in charge is OF the
opinion that the work on the monument ,l M will
the year they will have laid the whole
amount of stone which was INTENDED. The
has now eRShed & te hsE 81 s
year 80 additional feet must be laid. II now
has reached more than half the intended height
by 8 feet If the full amount is laid that was
intended for this year. the years work will show
an addition offs feet to the monument. During
the month beginning August 2 and ending Sep.
tClnber there was 90 feet added TO the height
of the monument. The amount of stone included
In these 90 feet was % 900 cubic feet and was the
LARGEST AMOUNT EVER LAID IN ONE MONTH.
The daily observations to ascertain whether the
monument has settled have been kept up, but dur
ing the past month in spite Of the large quantity
Of stone added no change was observed. For
some time past slight settling was observable,
but this has gradually diminished, ana during the
the thickness of q sheet of paper. 1t Is believed
that the foundation ofthe monument has reached
n point where no further change will take place,
There Is theory that the sun causes slight de-
hection In such structures. The side turned
and has tendency to move it in the opposite
direction. Captain Davis says that this theory has
not been demonstrated as yet and no such dehec-
a pummet inside of the monument when 1t Is fin
ished any such detection could be noted. II any
occurred 1t would be very slight; but the monu.
the truth this theory well OF the that 1t
is affected by the diurnal motion of the earth.

COII.KUTIUNN,
THE PLUMBERs' PROTEST..
The New Regulations Objected 10 In an
Important Point.

The committee representing the plumb
ers of the District, consisting of James Ragan,
chairman Edward Caverly, secretary; L. A,
Ridgway, Daniel Hannah, John Mitchell X, J.
Campbell, and T. V, Noonan, who, at the request of
the Health Officer revised the plumbing regulations
yesterday sent letter to the Commissioners pro-
testing against certain change made in the regu-
lations by the Commissioners. The regulations as
approved by the committee required all plumbers
before doing work 20 leave deposit OF 500 in
cash with the District easurer or bond Of 800
either OF which should be held by the District
treasurer for one year This regulation has been
30 modified by the Commissioners that the cash
deposit requirement has been stricken out and also
the time for which the bond should remain on de-
post The letter objects TO this change, as follows:
In our judgment the bond required by the regula
tons OF the Health Department as adopted may incur
10 some parties uncalledor trouble annoyance, and
possibly expense, That for the Violation Of said
Iulea Congress has defined the penalty 10 be
rom S25 10 $40 or thirty days imprlson-
ment and In our opinion the deposit OF 500 in
cash II retained for one year, VIII be an ample guar
Antee TO the Health Department for the faithful COM
pllance 10 their said rules and regulations, more
especially as II IN no bar against prosecution under
the act oi Congress- for the violation OF said rules;
and while II may not bs Objectionable to many To e
this bond TO others the right TO deposit said sum OF
money In lieu OF the bond Will be preferable as by
this no obligation Is created between parties which II

LOCAL MENTION.
Low rate. ON tie N. = o.

The low rates prevailing in New York, as there
rult of the battle between the great trunk lines,
have been the source Of no little discomfort to
people in these parts, rs no one likes to pay full
rates when one city farther cast enjoys all the nd.
vantage Of the biggest kind ofa cut This sort OF
hing has been most effectually done away with
by the action Of the Baltimore and Ohio yesterday
In making the rates the same from Washington as
from New York, 10 wit; Chicago 81; Cincinnati,
81. Columbus, ST. and st. Louis, $40. More than
his, the Baltimore and Ohio promptly ordered the
cut from leading Western cities as well, and tickets
are now sold in Chicago to Washington at So; in
Cincinnati, $40, and ST. Louis, si2. These are pre-
sisely the same rates from the cities named as
hose TO New York.

Corn and Pork Raising.

Corn is the most costly food that we,
in the south, with our worn soils
and slovenlv methods of farming, can
feed to hogs. There is hardly Il year but
that corn is worth 115cts or 500 per bush
."l cash in the ear in the cotton States. 1t
has been shown that when corn is Scots
per bnshel it costs Sets per pound to raise
pork; at 500 per bushcl, pork woald cost
l2cts per pound to raise it. These figures
while not absolutely correct are near
enough to form an approximate idea OF
the cost OF raising pork. Grass and clover
will be found the cheapest food yet for
raising cheap pork. Other crops more
rheaply raised than corn, can be sup
plement with profit by the farmer A lit
tie corn previous to slaughtering, is adj
visable, to give the meat firmness and
solidity. The South is interested in the
subject OF raising pork ut the cheapest
possible price, and it is well enough that
farmers should know that corn must not
he the main food. To raise cheappork do
not require Il cheap class OF hogs: on the
contrary the best blood should be Secur-
ed. The Berkshire, Poland Chin, Essex
and probably the jersey Red, are breeds
that will pay best for Keeping Some ia
Nor one OF these breeds some another but
I he first three mentioned we know have
been thoroughly tested and have proved
well adaptcl to otir section ofrpuntrv.
