PROPOSED MONUMENT At FORT GREENE
ington and his troops had been compelled 70
cross the East river in his retreat. These
ships were moored in the waters then
covering part Of what IS now
the Brooklyn navy yard They were then
used Tor prisons for such persons as were
captured in arms against the king. They
were crammed with prisoners to such an ex-
tent that large numbers died, being unable to
endure the severe confinement II was int1-
mated at the close Of the war that between
ll,O00 and 1900 had died, and we're buried
In the Long Island sound
The washing OF the wnves soon barred their.
bones, and from 1888, the close OF the war.
for many years, they were cast about by the
tides and bleached in the sun on a shore that
was then but little occupied. John jackson
at last, in lTg2, purchased farm near by.
and collecting the bones, arranged TO give
them decent burial He induced the Tam
many society TO take the matter un. and Of
fered site for the tomb near tho navy ward
The society lent hand, and the corner stone
was laid In 1905 All the bones. filling
twenty hogsheads, were placed in tho tomb.
They were put into thirteen mammoth
cofiins and borne to more suitable resting
place than the shores Of Long Island.
The ground being honeycombed by streets
surrounding the tomb was loft high in
the air and fell to pieces Il is said that
the site was even sold for taxes. II passed
into the hands o. Benjamin Romaine. who
had been interested in its erection. He re-
paired the tomb and kept it in order till 1914,
when he died.
Ten years later the Martyrs Monument as-
sociation was formed by citizens Of New
York and Brooklyn. An effort to build a
monument was delayed by another war. but
IN 1873 the bones We're tal1en up and laid in
twenty-five new collins and reinterred ia

mitting the construction Of granite vault.
Now it is proposed to erect over these revolu-
tionary relics monument l65 feet high. 1t will
be thirtysix feet square at the base, with
walls nine feet in thickness, narrowing until
they are only two feet through at the top.
The sides will be lighted by windows and the
top surmonnted by a bronze dome on which
will stand huge gilded eagle, the emblem Of
the victory won in the contest wherein the
lives Of the thousands Of prisoners were sac
rihced. A stairway and an elevator win
lead to the top, where an outlook will be pro-
vided beneath the dome, which win rest on
Corinthian columns. Congress has been

for him. TIE colored man did as directed
and received $40. He was then told to
send his friends to a certain other
Democrat who would give them tickets and
the price per man that the influential col.
ored man agreed TO that they should have.
Three OF the friends of this colored man
went and got SIS piece. Fully ten days
before the election a well known saloen-
keeper OF the ward called upon a colored
man who lives on the Lancaster pike and
waited on him there for the latter's return.
He then told the eolored mans wife that
her husband could get SIS by calling on

said that the rumor OF his intended

AN INDIAN TAKES -FOUR LIVES.

Crased by Liquor He Begins on His
SQuaw and Ends on Himself
CAMP POPLAR RIVER, MONTANA, Dec.
ia terrible tragedy, resulting in the
death of four persons and the fatal wound
ing of fifth, occurred at the Fort Peck In
dian agency yesterday. For upwards of a
week Pretty Boy, one of the Yankton Sioux
tribe, has been loaded with liquor. Agent
Cowan attempted to discover Pretty Boys
source of supply, but in vain. Yesterday
Pretty Boy made murderous attack upon
his squaw.
CRIMES CARNIVAL BEGINS.
Selling a stick of flrewood, he dealt the
helpless creature blow on the head, which
cut deep cash in her scalp and fractured
her skull. Not satisfied with this, the blood
thirsty Sioux, crazed by the liquor he i'm
bibed, jumped upon the PROSTATE body Of
the squaw, and, taking knife out OF his
belt, made preparations to scalp her.
THREE INDIANS SHOT.
By this time a crowd of nearly 100
Indians had gathered around the couple
In the crowd were a number of Indian
police, who rushed upon pretty boy and
dragged him from the body Of the squaw.
This so enraged Pretty Boy that shaking
Off his captors, he ran 10 his tapee and
secured a winchester rife, with which he
opened fire on the police, instantly killing
two of them, and fatally wounding a third.
BLEW OFF THE sQUAw's HEAD.
He then proceeded to where his squaw
was lying and placing the muzzle OF the
rifle between her lips fired four shots, liter
ally blowing the moman's head to pieces.
This done, the Indian attempted to effect
his escape, firing repeatedly at the indians
who were in pursuit of him. Finding es-
cape impossible, he halted on the crest OF a
hill about a mile from the agency and, after
severing the arteries in his wrist with his
hunting knife, shot himself through the
heart, death being instantaneous,
