THE CITY HALL SITE VIRTUALLY CHOSEN
10. A. WARDS STATUE OF BEECHER TO BE
ERECTED DOWNTOWN.

ERECTED DOWNTOWN.
The question of placing the statue of Henry Ward
Beecher in City Hall Park instead of Prospect Park
came before the Park Commissioners yesterday upon
an application by the Executive Committee in charge
of the erection of the statue for reconsideration OF
the resolution adopted by the former Commissioners
about two years ago setting apart a site for the
statue where the Irving bust stands IN Prospect
Park. The committee represented by Dr. Charies
III. Hall, Frederick w. Hnrichs, John A. Quntard'
r. b. Moffatt and General John b. Woodward
Mr.. Hinrlchs spoke chairman of the committee
lie said that when the statue first projected as
tribute to Mr. Beecher at meeting OF citizens repre-
senting all churches creeds and organizations IN the
city, the unanimous wish expressed that 1t should
stand in front Of the City Hall. subsequently the
Aldermen decided to erect the Soldiers ana sailors
Monument there, and the BeecheI statue "ouiu
have been dwarfed and overshadowed 1t was declueo
to select site for it in Prospect Park But all this
was changed now, the monument in City Han square
had been given up and an arch was being erected IN
the Plaza J. Q. a. Ward the sculptor of the statue
had expressed himself in favor of placing II IN Clty
hall Park
Dr. Charles II. Hail. of Holy Trinity, the lifelong
friend OF Mr.. Beecher said lie cordially supported
the views of Mr. Hinricks. "The statue VIII be an
object lesson" he added, and should be put where
every one will it. l notice that in most large
cities the statues of great men are placed In con
spicuous places. II Mr.. Beecher could be here ana
express an opinion the subject l feel sure lie
would say, Put me among the common people, where
they see me- "
Park President Brewer said there some serious
objections to the City Hall Park site The elevated
roads were detriment to ii, and they also carried
peOple away from it, IL was longer the centre OF
population Many people never saw ii, and would
see the statue in Prospect Park But the Park Com
mission would cooperate with the committee if it
was the unanimous wish to put the statue near the
City Hall.
Some discussion took place the removal of the
fountain in front OF the City Hall 10 make room for
the statue Mr.. Hinrichs agreed to that the foun-
tain was properly reconstructed. The Park Commits
sioners deferred their final action in the matter until
to-day, but the understanding was that the site
asked for in City Hall Park will be granted.

AN EARTHQUAKE.
Mexico Gets a Lively Shaking Up
Saturday Night-The Shock Last
ed About Two Minutes All
Over the Country.

About II o'clock Saturday night
an earthquake was experienced in
Mexico and various other points
in Missouri, Illinois and Indiana.
The shock was noticed about IL
O'Clock and was quite perceptible
to the people who were in two and
three story buildings. Windows
ratified and doors Jared, and many
of our citizens jumped out of bed,
hunting their pistols, thinking bur
glars were in their residences.
Shelf Riley jumped out of bed and
ran around the house looking for
burglars Mr.. j. M. Marmaduke
thought some one was in his house ;
DR.. Lanius heard his chickens
making a great deal of clatter, and
thought some one was trying to
carry them off Mr.. W. W. Fry
heard his windows jar and thought
some one vas e~ndeavoring to get
into his house. The shock was not
severe, but very decided, and ii
vas pretty general in this portion
of the United States, being felt in
Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana and
Iowa, being as severe in St. Louis,
perhaps, as at any other point.
No damage was done, except in
cases where bric.a-brac and glass
es were shaken from shelves.

the Most Popular Young Lady
In Missouri.

The contest taking place in St.
Louis at the Exposition for the
most popular young lady in Mis-
souri, is attracting a great deal of
attention. Miss Belle Morris, of
this city, is nicely in the lead. The
st. Louis Republic, speaking of the
matter, says:
"The Daughters of the Confed-
eracy finished the count of votes
for the most popular young lady
up to the present. The result
shows that it is not a local contest.
The list is headed by one of the
bellies of Mexico, Mo-, and her
friends are enthusiastic over the
outcome of the contest. The friends
Of the other young ladies have
walked up, however, and the vot.
ing during the rest of the season

Der of votes for each, are as fol-
lows: Belle Morris, Mexico, Mo-,

Robinson, 1870; Sa Lees Kennard,
lat; Mary Morris, 118; Frances
Cabanne, 1O2; Minnie Flanagan,
81; Ada May Legg, A."
There are about fifty contestants
in the race and the contest will
close on the last day of the Expo
sition. Friends of Miss Belle
Morris, who desire to vote for her,
should leave their votes with Maj.
H. A. Ricketts,, treasurer of the
