POLICE STARTLED
AT the Indictment of Inspectors in New
York City.

Confusion reigned at police headquarters
in New York on the receipt of the news that
indictments had been ordered by the special
grand jury against Inspectors Williams, Me-
Avoy and Mclaughlin. If there had been
any Tammany hall to be shaken, it would
have rocked on its foundations at the an
nouncement that Mr.. Gilroy's name headed
the list of names of officials to be indicted.
There is no reason to doubt that the indict-
ment found against the former mayor of the
city, is based, not on allegations of the NAL
feasance as mayor, but on charges pertaining
to his administration Of the office Of commits
sioner of pubic works in connection with
contracts for the purchase of asphalt. Ru,
mors are rife about the big building in Mul-
berry street that this is only the beginning
and that other high officials will soon be
called upon to defend themselves against the
most grave arraignments.

FIRST IN WAR AND PEACE.
wAsHINGroN's BIRTHPLACE To
BE MARKED BY MONUMENT.

N'IoRK has begun on the
wv monument to mark the
Y V birthplace of Washington,
at Wakefield, Va, and the
SUBSTANTIAL completion of the work this
year seems assured. Ashaft of Amer
lean light granite, about forty feet
nigh, will rest upon a plinth and die

turn upon two bases, the lower one
tweive feet square, so that the total
height OF the structure will be tifty-
one feet. That height will fully an
swer the requirement of being visible
from the decks of vessels in the chan
mel of the Potomac, not quite four
miles distant. The successful design
among the twenty-nine submitted was
from the same firm, Crawford Il Son.,
Buffalo, n. Y, that erected the me-
mortal to Mary Washington at Fred
ericksburg, and the relative porpor-
tions of the latter monument are
closely followed. 1t has been settled
that the inscriptions on the monu-
ment shall be ofthe simplest character.
The words Birthplace of Washing
ton," will be cut ont into the die
stone, and the words Erected by the
United States, 1885," out into the
front of the first base. Mr.. Crawford
says that it will probably take him
about year to complete the construc-
tion of the monument according to the
design approved by the Secretary of
State.
The old homestead, about seventy
miles below the National Capital, will
hereafter, perhaps, become more of a
resort for patriotic visitors, since,
with the funds provided oy Congress,
a pier has been built in the river,
about two miles from the monument
site, and road to the latter con-
structed. The improvements, with
the purchase of the ground required,
left only about 81, 900 for the monu-
