BRAVE SOLDIER DEAD.

Geo. II. Elmer Was in the Famous 7Ist
Pennsylvania Regiment and Was
Awarded a Gold Medal by Congress
for His Valiant Service.
Died at his late residence in Canton,
Dec. 7, of pneumonia, George II. Elmer,
aged 81 years. The death of Mr. Elmer
removes from among us one OF our worth
lest citizens. He had somewhat remark
able record as a soldier. He was men,
Der of the famous California regiment, re-
cruited at Philadelphia by United States
Senator Baker of Oregon, which became
the list Pennsylvania finally. For sever
al months he languished in Libby prison
and was so reduced by starvation that one
night he was placed in the dead house.
He was in % battles and skirmishes. He
went through the entire Peninsula cam
paign, was at Antietam, Fredericksburg
and Gettysburg. Before the battle of Saw
age Station, his captain, who was South
erner and had valuable papers, was espe-
cially anxious, if wounded, that he should
be carried from the field. He was severe
ly wounded, and it was George Elmer who
took him to the rear with the bullets flying
about him like hail. When, at Gettys-
burg, every man of Cushing's battery,
which was near the so-called bloody angle,
was shot down, and there was a call for
volunteers, the first to respond was George
Elmer, and he labored at that point all
day, in danger of instant death at any mo-
ment. He was the possessor of one of the
comparatively few gold medals awarded by
Congress for valiant service. He at one
time refused promotion, preferring to re-
main in the ranks. He was much devoted
to Hartwell T. Martyr post and his old
cmrades testified their esteem by a large
attendance at the funeral. Mr. Elmer was
no less a good soldier in the battle of life.
He was thoroughly upright in all his deal
ings with men, and as faithful to all the
interests of others committed to his care
as if they had been his own.-LSt. Law
renee Plaindealer, Canton, n. Y, Dec. IA,

CONTRACTORS 10 FURNISH BoNrs


AS f~oreshadowed in 1.-THE News the
Street and Water Commissioners at their
meeting yesterday afternoon adopted a
resolution requiring contractors in fu-
ture to their proposals with
tie BOND of some reliable surety COM
pany..
The object in making such a bond conn
pulsory is to avoid trouble with contrac-
tors, who often being awarded public
work, refuse to do it. Since the inaugu-
ration of the percentage system OF bidding
this has occurred frequently, the city be-
ing subjected to a loss of several thou
sand dollars.
The most notable case was that of Com
tractor Rodman, to whom was AWARDED
the opening, extension and Improvement
Of Baldwin avenue
Rodman refused to sign the contract.
This necessitated readvertisirg. On Rod
been prepared, accepted BY these liable
to assessment ard confirmed by the Street
and Water Board.
1t was impossible to change the assess
ment, and the city was forced to shout
der tine difference between Rodn1an's first
in the second lowest competition, who
to be Henry Cunningham.
Corporation Counsel advised that a
surety bond be required from bidders. He
also said after reviewing the Ease of Rod
man h he believed the contractor or
for the loss sustained by the city He
has instituted a suit against Rodman. In
the meantime the work will be done by
Henry Cunningham.
BY requiring the BOND of a Surety Com
pany for all public work the Commission
ers believe that .shyster contractors will
be shut out and that a better class of
work will he obtained.

SPAIN. GIT TO Us.

According to a cable despatch to the
Associated Press. senor Sagasta says we.
have spain's scorn. The statement is not
verified by positive evidence, but on gen
eral principles it is probably true At
any rate, if we haven't it now. we will
before the war closes, as well as pretty
nearly everything else Spain owns
SO far. we have contented ourselves
with picking up a few of her merchant
ships with cargoes of comfortable rich
ness. but later on we will gather in her
islands and her war vessels and her
guns and her cash and her pride and
her hatred, and everything else detach-
able from Spanish soil that is worth hay
ing.
The only things we can never hope to
take from her are her Incidence, her
ignorance n her foolish arrogance
They are organic and vital to her.

INSPECTED STATION HOUSES.
er walter Goes on a Tour
with the Police Ronrd.


The Board of Police Commissioners, ac-
cornpanied by Chief of Police Murphy,
last might inspected all the station houses
in the city. One of the principal objects
was to ~accuaint Mr.. Walter. the newly
appointed Commissioner, with the condi-
ton of the various houses, and introduce
him in his capacity as a Commissioner.
Those of the First. Second. Fourth, Fifth
and Seventh precincts were found in pref
ty fair condition. That of the Second.
in Seventh street. has JUS undergone a
complete ~cverhauling and Frightening up
that has made it the ''boss' station house
in the city, and Captain Kelly is as. proud
of it as Captain Sigsbee was of the
Maine. The Oakland avenue and Web
ster avenue stations for the Third n
Sixth precincts, respectively, however,
were surely not such as to impress the
new Commissioner as being up to date
speciments of police stations in a city the
size of this. There is not-even a and
ller in the main or sergeant's quarters,
and two small incandescents, shaded so
as to throw the light down on the ser
geant's desk, do lighting service at night
for the big room. From his desk the SER
geant or rOundsman on duty cannot rec
ognize even one of his own men entering
the front door, and is Obliged to had
his eyes from the light about him and
peer hard through the gloom before do
ing so. The building is becoming rickety
and the Roof leaks in many places. The
quarters for regular prisoners and the
women's prison both need looking after.
The Webster avenue station house is a
disgrace to the city 1t is half of a low,
squatty brick building that had lone SER
vice for the Fire and Police Departments
in that section of the city for about TWEEN
ty years. Meanwhile, no section of the
city has 0 rapidly built up as the Hudson
City section. The building Is a ramshackle
one. The sanitary arrangements are all
most as good a subject for a Board Of
Health investigation. 1t is pretty safe to
assume that as Mr.. Walter is a resident
of that section he will do his utmost to
secure ore, if not two new police station
buildings in hat section.
The Commissioners tested the telegraph
each of the precincts and found them in
an erninently satisfactory condition.
