WASHINGTON MONUMENT
"JAGGYb
New York Marine Journal

New York Marine Journal.
The Washington Monument appears
to the ordinary observer to be about
as immovable and dead thing as there
limits. but Col. IT. i. Bingham, the
Superintendent of Buildings and
Grounds. who is responsible for the con-
dition and behavior of the monument,
the White House and many other build
ings In the city. finds the monument
to be a somewhat lively. not to say
vivacious and frlsky thing. While 1t
does not live. the scientific gentlemen
who observe its habits say that 1t
"breathes." Although 1t does not tn :
dulge in wild jlgs of joy. it may be
said. scientifically speaking. to dance.
Colonel Bingham, in his report, gives
an account OF the method and appara-
tus by which 1t is ascertained that the
monument has been restless, that it has
shifted its position from time to time,
sometimes nearly an inch to the cast,
then about as far to the south, and then
again whichever way the weather
pleased. The readings were made at
the centre of gravity. and It, Is stated
that the variations at the top of the
monument were greater the top moving
three times as far, as the centre of
gravity. The superintendent does not
fully understand why it Is that the
inner iron frames of the monument are
buckling and promising to cause some
annoyance. although he assures visitors
that they should not for n moment be
concerned about the safety of the
structure. One theory of the variations
of position is the vibrations OF the
earth. and the acceptance of this
theory may account also for the twist
ing and buckling of the iron frames.

NEWPORT NEWS
The Injunction Against Street
Railway Dismissed.
Appeal % tho Supreme Court Noted
To Votc on Street Improvement
Bonds-Two Barges Levied Upon
ana ReIeased.

Newport News, Va, Jan. 4.-The in
junction against the Newport News
and Old Point Railway and Electric
Company was dismissed by Judge Bar
ham, of the Corporation Court, but will
remain in effect pending action by the
Court of Appeals, to which the plant
ire will apply for supersedeas.
It was brief and to the point. A
number of the authorities submitted by
both sides were reviewed, and the
Judge ANNOUNCED that III his opinion
the plaintiff had no right of amend
ment, and he did not consider 1t nee
essary that he should even pass upon
the question as to who should bring
the suit. The commemorative Attor-
ney asked him If he would not pass
upon this point, however, but the Judge
said 1t was not necessary, and he did
not care to pass upon 1t. he would says
though. that he had grave doubts as
to whether the Mayor was the proper
party to bring the suit for the city. He
did not pass definitely upon this
point.
Mr.. Newton then expressed his in
tention to note an appeal, which matter
was discussed to some extent, both as
to the amount of the bond and the eff
feet an appeal would have upon the
status of the injunction. Mr.. Braxton
said that his clients wanted a bond of
$4,000, and stated his reasons briefly.
referring to the loss the company was
under by reason of the delay caused
by the proceedings.
BOND ELECTION.
There will be an election held this
month for the purpose of determining
whether or not bonds shall be issued to
the amount of $4,000 for municipal i'm
provements. There is no doubt on this
point and the registered voters and
freeholders will be asked to record
their votes either for or against this
issue. which is of vital importance to
every citizen at this time.
The Common Council will meet in
special session tomorrow night for the
purpose of passing an ordinance order
ing the election and a canvass of the
Council resulted in favor OF the pro-
posed bond issue. There is no doubt
then about the passage OF the ordi-
nance.

me facts, which fully and clearly cs-
taDlish the charges, are admitted, with
out qualification by the cadets charged.
The regulations prescribe and definite
Tx the penalty. The Sravamen of the
offense Is not in the acts perpetrated,
m ,l,i tiAt,
the part OF the cadets implicated to
disregard, defy and trample upon au-
thority and discipline. and this In the
face of admoniton. warming and appeal
upon the part of the Board of Visitors
and the officers Immediately respon-
sible for maintenance of discipline.
The past record of the accused, with
few exceptions. has been good, but this
cannot condone conduct subverSive of
the essential basis of discipline, obedi-
ence, subordination and respect for
regulations and authority. The conduct
charged was not the result of hasty
impulse, but was wlllfully and deliber-
ately premedftated and carried out in
entire disregard OF admonition and adj
vice given after the combination was
entered into, and before Its purposes
were executed, when there was full
time and opportunity to recede from n
recklessly false position. But In spite
Of every warning and influence that
kindly regard for the cadets them
selves could suggest. there was UNI
yielding persistence. 1t only remains
to the superintendent to perform the
most painful duty of his official life,
to execute the decree of the "regula-
tions,'' in accordance with which decree
the cadets herein named are dismissed
and their connection with the Virginia
Military Institute terminate with this
date.
