The Statue Of Gen. Scott Found to he
Shifted From It's Place.
Startling As 1t may seem. It Is Q fact that
the equestrian statue Of Gen. Scott has
been recently In some mysterious way
moved out Of position. The matter was
brought to the attention Of Col. VIM. Will
son. commissioner of public buildings and
grounds. q few days ago, In an anonymous
communication He went out and looked
at the statue and didn't notice anything
wrong with It The matter worried him,
nevertheless. and he ordered a careful ex-
animation to be made. The result was un-
mistakable evidence that the mass of
bronze, Weighing 1900 pounds had moved
on It's pedestal, five inches to the north and
one inch to the west Of its original position.
The change had not affected its equilibrium
In the least. and the statue was in no dan
ger Of falling, unless the movement should
continue. 1t was decided best, however to
put IL back where 1t belonged. This was
large force OF men. with the aid Of Jacks
Massive bronze bolts were utilized in Sc
curing the statue to its granite pedestal and
nothing short of an earthquake will move
II again 1t is impossible to explain the
action of the statue There are all sorts
credence is that the statue was forced out
Of position by the fierce hurricane that vis-
fted the city in November. 1891. The statue
10 very much exposed and undoubtedly
felt the full force Of the wind on that oc-
casion. Col. Wilson said to Star reporter
anonymous correspondent for calling his
attention to the matter and added that he
would like to thank him in person II he
would make known his identity.

STANTON TO BE IN COMMAND
Hs Will Hoist His Flag in the North
Atlantic.
The kearsarEe to BE His Flagshfp-
He Will Return Later to the
South Atlantic.

Orders have been issued for Acting Rear
Admiral o. F. Stanton to assume command
Of the North Atlantic squadron at once,
and with that object In view he has been
ordered to proceed without delay to San
Domingo and hoist his flag on the u. SIS.
kearsarge, which is now en- route to San
Domingo to look after American interests
said to be jeopardized by Evolutionary pro-
ceedings In that republic. Admiral Stanton
will take passage on the steamer sailing
from New York, and he will join the Kear-
sarge at San Domingo. In addition to his
flagship Admiral Stanton's feet will include
for the present the Vesuvius and the Cush-
Ing. The Miantonomoh, Marblehead, Mont
gomery and Castine will probably be as
signed to the home station in a short time
The fact that the Kearsarge has been se-
lected as the flagship Of the North Atlantic
instead Of the New York. Is taken by some
raval officers to emphasize the report that
the latter vessel Is being prepared for serv-
ice in Brazil. In view Of her size and power
she will undoubtedly be the flagship Of
whatever station she may be assigned.
North Atlantic. South Atlantic or European
The probabilities are strong that she will
be assigned to one of the stations named
rather than to the Asiatic or Pacific. But
for the troubles in Brazil the chances are
that she would have been ordered to re-
lieve the Chicago as flagship of the Euro
pean station.
The San Francisco, now en- route to Rio
with Rear Admiral Benham on board, will
be the flagship Of the South Atlantic sta
ton so long as she remains there. That
will depend altogether on the progress of
events In Brazil. She will return to the
United States as soon as convenient"
probably in the spring. and Admiral Stan

Of the South Atlantic station, from which

Prospect Hill Cemetery Directors VIII
Wait for the Jury's Awards.
The long-pending struggle over the open
ing Of North Capitol street through Pros
pect Hill cemetery, which has become fam
Gus as the little German cemetery"
throughout the land, and the adjoining Bar
bour estate, seems now in a fair way to
terminate in a victory for the friends Of the
street extension. the board Of directors of
the cemetery having decided to suspend fur
ther hostilities pending the result Of the jury
proceedings under the bill just passed by
both houses of Congress, as they believe
that a fair award of damages may be ac-
cepted as satisfactory by the lot holders of
the cemetery. The bill in question provides
condemnatory proceedings in the case of the
Barbour estate. and should the Prospect
Hill people accept the terms offered them
the fight will be practically at an end.
In discussing the probable outcome of the
proceedings provided for by the bill with q
Star reporter, Mr.. George Wagner. one of
the board Of directors of the cemetery. said:
My fellow members upon the board
agree with me in believing that the Com
missioners, who seem really as desirous as
their predecessors to carry the opening Of
the street to a successful conclusion. will
oner us fair and impartial jury to con-
slider the award of damages. But we have
learned to understand the tactics Of the
syndicate which has brought the fight upon
us SO thoroughly that we consider this the
very last moment of all when we should be
caught mapping. We shall. on the con-
trary, strain our eyes to watch every speck
on the horizon. and should the jury fail to
satisfy us the fight will be continued by us
70 the very last. The bill just passed by
Congress promises our lot holders adequate
compensation for valuable charter rights
ana very valuable property to be taken
from them, and we can afford to abide for
the present by the terms of 1t, until we can
determine upon the acceptance or rejection
of its results"

DISAPPEARANCE OF NINE.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Dec. Z.--In an exca-
walton for a new furnace at the Carnegie
steel works. at this place. In which fourteen
men were working this morning, five men
were entombed by a cave-in; one was dead
when taken out; four were very badly in
jured and may die, and the remaining nine
cannot be accounted for.
The men in the pit were Hungarians and
Slavs.
The names Of the dead and injured are:
John Kennedi, aged thirty-two years. lived
at Munhail, married, leaves q wife and four
children: killed instantly. John Norosk.
aged twenty-eight, lives in Homestead, leg
broken and injured internally. Chas. Mar

see. Homestead, married, two children; /;
head cut and injured internally. Cad
see cannot recover and 1t is feared one or
two Of the others will die.
The injured men were taken to their
homes as soon as they were secured. The
pit in which the men were imprisoned under
several tons Of loose dirt Is an excavation
for a new furnace In the open hearth de-
partment. 1t was 20 feet deep and almost
gang and about 80 o'clock the alarm was
given that all were entombed. The body
Of John Kennedi. who worked on the scaf-
fuld midway in the pit, was found hrst.
Ropes were extended from the top and q
number Of men descended and began the
work of rescue. One by one the injured
me- were taken out. Five men out OF the
fourteen were accounted for. The search
continued until daybreak. when owing to
the danger of another cave-in. the work
was abandoned until carpenters can brace
the hanging walls Of earth.
1t is thought possible that the nine miss
ing men climbed up the wall ana IN their
excitement fed. Carpenters are erecting
braces to the wall. When this Ii completed
the work Of cleaning out the pit will be re-
sumed.
