the colony on Crow Hi.
There we're buried on Tuesday and Wednesday two
men who had been prominent in the Republican
politics of the city and who had proved themselves
valuable and useful citizens. l aude OF course, TO
General Ward and Dr.. McunlngHr. BY noteworthy
coincidence they wcro born year apart and buried
one day apart. Neither of them Old and It would
seem that a goody number Of years ought to have
been melted out TO each Of them. General Ward was
ffty-two and DR.. Mcnninecr ffty-onc. ono hal
served as Police Commissioner and the other "a
Coroner and Alderman. Politics. however. became
far more a passion with the latter than the former,
and there is general belief that It was the struggles
and dlsappointmcnts Of politics that caused DR..
Mennngers death. Of the sketches of his life,
see state that when he TO Brooklyn he plunged
al once into politics. This not the case. For
several years he devoted himself assduousy to the
drug business In those days l saw him frequently
and perceived no signs of political ambition. That
came later or, rather, it cropped out again, for he
had held Office In North Carolina. ! have seen no
mention of the fact that the drugstore which DR..
Mcnnnccr kept in those days on the site now
occupled by the Brooklyn station of the Bridge.
There was row Of shops here, tho drug store bong
on the corner OF sands and Washington ss. In the
rear Of them was old AIMS Church the last service
I'm which was held some ten years ago. The Bridge
has thus brought about the destruction OF two churches

moved only few months ago
General Jourdan made powerful plea the other
day in behalf Of tho district lying Immediately south
Of Prospect Park site for the Worlds Fair. His
contention is the less strong because OF tha iact
that the two railroads Of which he is president would
benefit greatly by the selection OF this site. But
other roads as the Manhattan Beach and the Prospect
Park and Concy Island, would also reap good
share Of the profits that would accrue from tho trans
portation Of passengers. This site, which includes
the parad, ground adjoining the Park Che use OF
which would unQuesiionably bo granted by the city,
has many attractive features and In some points
is SUPERIOR 10 the East side lands. Both Of them,
however. havo the drawback in common that they
have no waterfront. Judging by the present
temper Of the Committee ON Sites, 1t Is very I'M
probable thing that site Will be sought outside
NJ Ncw-York City. Should they fail 10 find ono
that is suitable and satisfactory there, tbs claims Of
Rroolyn and Long Island will doubtless come in
for early consideration. In that Bay Ridge
would have 10 be Of the first places dealt with.
As against sites far up the Fast River. Bay Ridge
possesses unmstakabe advantages. the representa-
lives Of the Board Of Steam Navigation set forth IN
their communication 10 the Exposition authorities
the other day. still. Brooklyn has litlc real hope
Of securing the Fair for herself The general opinion
was pretty accurately summed up l fancy, in the
letter OF Colonel John Y. Culyer in which he said
= I do not think any very serious consideration will
