A special meeting of the council was held
wednesday evening, and after nearly four
hours of investigation the council voted
to to reinstate the suspended nightwatch-
man. Cady was suspended some time ago
for being absent from his beat two hours.
The police committee investigated, and con-
cluded thathe had been sufficiently punished
by being laid of. Before he could be rein
stated a letter came from Adrian charging
that Mr.. Cady had locked up couple of
boys who were trying to sell gun, and
later allowed f. f. Bumps TO release them,
Mr.. Bumps having secured the gun on the
payment of IS, and after telling the boys
that IL they stayed until morning it would
cost them IS apiece if they were taken be-
fore justice, making SIS for the gun. The

THE LIBERTY LIGHT.

Uncle Sam Wants toirurn 1t Over to
Some Patriotic Society.
II is very probable that the Government
will soon transfer to the Sons of the Amer
lean Revolution or some kindred patriotic
society the privilege of maintaining the
beacon light on the Statue of Liberty in
New York harbor. The Lighthouse Board
from whose appropriations this light has
been maintained, strongly protested to the
Secretary of the Treasury against this year
y expense of $4,000 being taken from
their already insufficient appropriation and
recommend that as the light from practi
cal point OF view was useless II should be
discontinued
1t was then that number of the patri-
otto societies of New York proposed to
relieve the government Of this expense and
asked that they be given control of the
statue on condition that they maintain the
light, This will likely soon be done. ltis
said by persons who are in position to
know that already the statue shows alarm
ing signs of dissolution. The thin venire
OF the statue is already rusted through in
many places, so that one can readily see TO
ascend the stairs without the aid of artifi-
cial light. In order to preserve the statue
and arrest the ravages of rust the Light
house Board has been compelled to paint
the statue ana as this has detracted some.
what from its appearance the result has
been unsatisfactory.
II is not believed that even with the ex.
celIcnt care the Lighthouse Boarl has
bestowed upon the statue it can hardly be
expected to last more than 10 or 10 years
longer. The society which seeks to relieve
the government of the expense of main
tanning the beacon now run "a ferry line TO
Bedloe's island and have already accu nu-
lated about 100000, which it Is willing to
expend in replacing the electric light plant,
which is nearly worn out, and in main.
tanning the lights indefinitely.
