ring. an appropriation Of $4,000, or as
much thereof as In necessary, to purchase
or build a steam tug.
The resolution brought on a good deal
Of discussion. which was participated In
by several members.
Mr.. Christian warmly advocated the
building of a new boat. and suggested that
powerful pumps be put In the boat, In
order that the latter might be used In
case of a fire near the dock. He thought
that this work could be done at COM
paratively small additional expense.
Colonel Cutshaw, the engineer OF the
department when called upon to give his
opinion, said that he was preparing
statement. showing the total amount ex-
pended by the city in the procuring OF
plant for the improving Of the James river
and keeping IL in repairs. While a good
deal of money had to be spent recently
for the overhauling Of one OF the city's
tugs and a dredge. 1t would be necessary
to pay out perhaps similar amount
for the repairing OF the other tug and
dredge. He therefore advised to post
pone action on the resolution offered by
Mr.. Vaughan.
Mr.. White submitted an amendment
that action be postponed until Colonel
Cutshaw could present his statement.
The amendment was carried.
Captain Curtis stated that on Sunday
last he had gone down the river to ascer-
tain its condition. He found 1t clear OF
ice between Norfolk and Newport News.
The city's tug. which had been repaired
at Norfolk. and the Monarch were cut
ting the ice In the river between Newport
News and Hog Island on Monday. and
the Olive Branch was also set to work.
The next day the two city tugs were to
break the ice between Dutch Gap and
City Point.
Mr.. White moved that the committee
request Colonel Cutshaw to make up his
statement as soon as possible, and that
the chairman call the committee together
as soon as the report was completed.
The motion was carried
On motion OF Mr.. Crenshaw the pay

Tnr Felt ROnfs.

The Committee on Fire Department
held its monthly meeting In the Council
Chamber last evening. Chairman Carneal
and Messrs. CARRIER, Mitchell and Smith
were present.
Some time ago a resolution was referred
by the Council to the committee in con-
junction with the chief of the Fire De-
partment, providing that frame buildings
shall be covered with slate, tin. copper
or other fire-proof metal.
Mr.. II. NJ. Smith, Jr.. appeared before
the committee as counsel for Mr. John
Armitage. asking that tar felt roofs be
also admitted as fire-proof. He stated
that several years ago Mr.. Armtage
had entered into contract with the city
to buy up all gas tar, which he used In the
manufacture of his tar felt roofing lie
established a large factory, which en-
ployed twenty to thirty men, and carried
500 900 or $4,000 worth of stock. The in
surance people considered the roofing as
fire-proof. and gave better rates than
on wooden buildings. Recently the con-
tract had been extended for five more
years.
Mr.. CARRIER stated that the tar felt roof
ing tad successfully stood the most
severe test during the fire at the Cedar
Works. The paint shop, which had such
covering was consequently saved from
the flames.
MIR. Armitage also explained the hre
proof qualities Of his article.
In the absence of Chief Fuller the com
mittee took no action, but decided that
if that gentleman should be opposed TO
tar felt roofs, Mr.. Armitage and counsel
would be given another hearing.
The usual number of applications 1or
permits to erect frame buildings was con-
sidered, and the granting OF the same
will be recommended to the Council.

The route by which the body IL 10 he
brought TO Richmond Is to be decided on

This action OF the committee was In.
spired by the impulse OF the gentlemen
to put the monument movement on an
active and practical footing, and little
doubt remains that the memorial will now
be pushed TO satisfactory consumma-
ton.
Several movements In the South conn
menced Immediately after the death OF
Mr.. Davis, all looking 10 the same OBJ

the want OF cooperation among them.

local committee here and the Southern
Press Association. organized In New Or
leans after Mr.. Davis death, united their
efforts. This was further strengthened
last year when the United Confederate

Last September the executive commit.
tee met In this city, with General w.
l.. Cabell representing the United Confede-
rate Veterans. and appointed sub-commit-
tees for the various States to Cooperate
with the local committee. and thus for
the first time put the matter on a prac-
teal basis.

That Inaugural Procession.

The following appeared in the Norfolk

The First Virginia Cavalry will hardly

An effort has been made TO get the com

couragement from the officers OF the

Governor McKinney's attention was
called to the above notice only yesterday.
and. In conversation with me on the
subject. he said that II was the first
intimation he has had that any effort
OF this kind was being made: the au-

no little worry and trouble
lust previous to the close Of the morning
service he hung his new Sunday overcoat

it during the few minutes he was gone.
The overcoat contained large bunch
of KEYS, including those 10 the church ana
all the buildings on the premises, as well
as some private ones.
No tidlngs have been heard OF the coat
or KEYS. and IL has necessitated the watch
ing Of the church and premises for two
rights and the fitting of new keys TO all
the open locks. as well as the breakage
OF a number of others to gain access TO
presses. drawers and such places where
books. papers and things Of everyday use

the thief. and would be willing TO present
him with the coat if he will make himself

be Made Under the Auspices Of Lee
Camp Confederate Veterans.

The board Of directors OF the Jefferson
Davis Monument Association held a meet
ing yesterday afternoon at the Office CT
Mayor Ellyson and took such action as
will more likely bring about the con-
summation of their plans for the future
than any step yet taken.
1t was no less than the early removal
of the remains OF the Confederate Presi-
dent from New orleans, their present
resting place, to the square overlooking

Colonel Cunningham has for year or
more acted in this capacity. and solicited
donations to the proposed monument IN
Texas sand other States, His services
are now dispensed with. because the ex-
pense does rot Justify his continuance.
A discussion of the general affairs or the
Association led up TO the question or the
removal of the remains of jefferson Davis
10 this city. as contemplated by the
board and consented to by Mrs. Davis
last winter. .
II was determined that the most val
liable move for the purpose OF atousins
interest in the speedy erection or the
monument was to have the remains In the
place set apart for them here. and the
following resolution, offered by Hon.
George l.. Christian, was adopted:

board that the remains of President
Jefferson Davis be removed from New
Orleans to Richmond and reinterred In
Hollywood on May 3Oth, Hollywood Me-
mortal Day, and that the president OF the
association be authorized to appoint a
committee OF five, of which he shall be
chairman, TO consult with Mrs. Davis ana
the New Orleans authorities. and to ar
range all other details necessary to move
the said remains and RENTER them.

resolution Is as follows: Messrs. j. Tay-
