Husbnn nd and Wife,

William Conner, a stonecutter employed
on the new Corcoran Art Gallery, on 18th
street and New York avenue northwest,
was struck by falling pole while at work
yesterday afternoon. He was working I'M
der a temporary shed when the pole fell.
The muscles of the right arm and shoulder
were bruised, but he. continued with his
work.
A peculiar coincidence happened in con-
Eection with the case. Mrs. Conner, the
wife of the man who was hurt. attempted
to board a 9th street car at the corner of
D street northwest, and the car being put
in motion before she had gotten on, she
was thrown into a small excavation that
had been made beside the tracks. She also
hurt her right side, though not seriously.

Senator Pnlmer's Remarks.

SenutOf ftenUfkS.
Senator John NJ. Palmer told the story of
the battle of Chickamauga, saying that but
few of the names of the fallen were known,
but the courage and gallantry of all could
be remembered. In conclusion he said:
"The civil war was caused by the Sec
tional challenge to American manhood. and
that challenge was accepted and followed
by years of bloody and desolate war. In
that war the American people learned to
properly estimate each other, which is the
only foundation for harmonious, national
unity. BY that war the theory of the right
of the states to secede from the Union was
forever eradicated from our system Of ma
tional constitutional government. By that
war African slavery, which was the root
of sectional bitterness, and was one Of the
causes or pretexts for national controversy,
was forever overthrown, and the flag of
our country became at once the emblem of
freedom and the symbol of national power.
AS the result of that war, the Constitution
was maintained and not subverted, and the
union of the American people made per-
petual.
my comrades we who survive to this
day, n ay well ie grateful to that Divine
Being who guides the destiny Of nations.

THE ROUSS MEMORIAL HALL.

The attempt to locate the Rouss Con-
federate Memorial Hall anywhere else
than in Richmond ought not to succeed.
The capital Of the late Confederacy,
with it's sacred memories OF the civil
war; is the only proper place for the
erection of such building. Every
man who wore the gray, whstever the
State of his nativity and wherever his
dwelling place now may be, should
rise up in protest to its location any
where else.
In such an important matter local
preferences and local prejudices should
be sub ordinate TO the grand object in
view 1t was in Richmond that all the
energies of the Confederacy were
centerei. 1t WAS in Richmond that the
government OF the lost cause had ITS
existence for four long years, and it
was in the defense of that city that the
best blood of the South flowed like
water.
All honor to the generosity of Charles
B. Rouss,who cffers to contribute S1oO,
O0O for such memorial. This sum and
the other contributions that will follow
ought to build such hall as will be the
pride of the South and the Mecca OF her
people for generations to come. Located
elsewhere than in Richmond it would
lose one half the interest that would
otherwise be attached TO such collec-
ton of Confederate relics.
Richmond is city of grand historic
memories No place in the late Con-
federacy has so many sacred associa-
tions clustered around it. A memorial
hall elsewhere would be like monu-
ment OF battlefield in some other
place than where the conflict occurred.
Washington, as the city representing
the opposite OF all that the Confed-
eracy represented, would be the least
appropriate aeloction OF all. 1t would
add to the glory of that city rs q victor
and rob the hall of it's skcredness
and solemnisy.
