A sensation was caused yesterday among the
fashionable denizens of Lachine, q summer re-
sort close to Montreal, by the arrival of Mr.. E
]. WI itney, an artist of Brooklyn, and his wife.
in search OF their daughter, Ida, who some two
months ago ran away with Willis N. Finch, late
manager of the COmmunipaw Coal company,
having an Office in Broadway, New York. They,
1t appears, got married in New York state and
went to Montreal, where they were traced to
the windsor hotel: and thence to Lachine,
under the name of Mr.. and Mrs. French. Finch
Is CHARGED with embezzling 81 800 from the
company, but the matter has been settled. The
parents, in company with Detective Foley, had
an interview with the young wife yesterday.
She refused to leave her husband. She said she
knew OF his shame, and acknowledged that he
had done very wrong, but that she was his wife,
and 1t was her duty to stay with him and help
him to make amends for past misconduct. The
parents are indignant, but can do nothing, and
will return to New York. The bridal couple had
obtained the entree into the best society in
Montreal, Mrs. Finch being talented and very
pretty. She Is an artist In water colors, and
says she can help her husband to make living
in this way. Finch refused to see his wife's rel
atiyes Fearing legal proceedings, he has left
near by.

The investigation of the coast survey ONCE
conducted by First Auditor Chenoweth was
very thorough. At the outset Auditor Cheno-
weth submitted charges made out In detail
setting forth the alleged abuses which existed
He was given authority to conduct the inquiry.
The testimony was taken under oath.
In his evidence Mr.. Boutelle admitted that
he had been aware of the fact that certain per-
sons had been borne on the rolls without rem,
dering any service. He testified that they had
done faithful service, and, as they broke down
on duty, their pay was continued without re-
curing any service from them.
Another employe Of the bureau, Prof. Chris
tie, testified that the employees had been per-
mitted great license in regard to working hours;
that they were In the habit OF strlnglng along
10 me bureau any where from 10 70 ~ 9cioe efS
and OF leaving work when they saw At. He also
swore that 1t was customary TO use the messen-
gers for private purposes. Prof Christie also
Craig, now professor at Johns Hopkins uni
Vers1ty, was in the employ OF the bureau. ine
records show he was sent to attend meeting
represent there the coast survey. He made a
tour on the continent. In fact, he had Just been
married, and it seemed to have been bridal
tour From what know OF coast and geodet1c
work and its relations to the British association
this trip was wholly uncalled for. The coast
survey might as well keep representative YEA at
ufic societies OF those Cities"
Mr.. b. A. COlOnna, now in charge of the office
work, testified to laxity of discipline and gen.
eral carelessncss in the administration of the
bureau He stated that this bad condition was
no new thing, but that it had existed for years;
but he knew of no instance in which public
funds had been deliberately transferred to pri-
vate use. He pronounced Prof. Hilgard incom-
petent, and held him mainly responsible for the
generalization of the bureau, but bore testi-
mony to the professors integrity.
Accountant j. w. Parsons submitted a state
ment, showing that 1t was the custom, when an
official died or resigned, to divide the remain
ing salary that would have accrued to him for
the fiscal year among the other officials under
the guse of increase Of salaries; that none Of the
appropriation for salaries was permitted to be
lett over at the end of the year.
No action will be taken upon the report of the
investigating committee and the recommends
tions contained therein until the President re-
turns. 1t is not deemed at all likely that any
OF the suspended officials will be reinstated. In
fact, 1t is said they will all be removed. MIR.
Thorn will remain in charge of the bureau for
the present, and will reform the abuses that
have existed.

Galveston, Texas. Telegram to the N. Y. Herald.
Your correspondent, knowing that United

during the late war were opposed to each
other, addressed Senator Maxey q note asking
him for an expression Of opinion Of his deceased

The senator, who is rusticating at Mineral
Wells, Texas, responds under date Of August
as follows:
When the bill for placing Gen. Grant on the
retired list was before the Senate said all that

been hailed with JOY, not by the victo-
rious army he commanded, but by the admin

Portsmouth Letter to the London Daily Telegraph.
The village of Ellsworth has been visited by
q remarkable plague of flies, which simulta-
neously covered an area of one mile. At some
places it was impossible to move without closing
the eyes and mouth. Around every lamp in
the town the spectacle was most curious. At
tracted by the light thick swarms abounded,
and their buzz resembled that OF o hive OF bees.
At the post Office, where the upper portion OF
the door is open for ventilation, and where ne
cessariy the light is kept burning till the early
the insects covered the sorting boards,
letters and bags, and had to be continually
swept OF with brushes. At one lamp they
simply hung down In clusters. In the window
of the office they are now to be seen in thick
lunches. Bicyclfsts coming from Havant were
in several instances compelled to aifght, 30 thick
was the swarm, and at the auction mart at the
bottom of the town the tray in which the money
was taken was covered an inch thick.

The Tomb I'M Riyerside PaI

The Tomb i'm Riverside Park.
A MIRACLE IN MASONRY-THE VAULT TO BE
GAURDED BY UNITED STATES TROOPS.
The building Of the tomb in the Riverside
Park, in which Gen. Grants body was laid at
rest to-day, is described by Park Commissioner
Crimmins, who has supervised the work, as a
miracle in masonry. The place has undergone
noticeable change since the site was definitely
determined, q little more than one week ago.
DISTINCTIONS have been removed, rough places
leveled and rolled, dep-essions filed in, and new
roads made. The most rapid work has been on
ployed on the work said that except in such an
emergency as this they would not think of con-
tracing for a similar structure in q cemetery to
be finished inside OF a month or six weeks. The
interior of the vault is enameled. The coffin
will rest on two marble blocks, each weighing
ton. Each piece of stone is feet long, 1 foot 6
inches wide, and 2 feet inches high. Two fat
pieces of marble have been placed beside the
blocks, as suggestion of the fact that sufficient
room has been allowed for another coffin to rest
inside the tomb if it is ever: necessary to put
by an iron runic cross Outside of the heavy
oaken door is an iron gate ornamented by q
large imitation laurel wreath, with plain let
haste with which the work has been prosecuted,
in which ordinary routine and red-tape have
been utterly disregarded, the inspector of build
ings for that district, when he found work had
as a violation Of law, no permit having been OBJ
tanned. He subsequently turned in from day to
day, as the work went on, an official account of
that the city authorities did not get an opinion
from the corporation counsel as to whether any
portion of public park could be used for pur-
poses of sepulture, until the tomb was nearly
completed. AT the request of the park COM
missioners the tomb will be guarded for thirty
days by Battery H, OF the 9th artillery, Captain
near the tomb, and the battery will go into
camp for q month.
