CAPTAIN BEAUTIES RESPONSE.
Criticism of Site for Monument ia
MOSby's Men,

Although the monument to commemorate
the death of seven of Mosby's men at
Front Royal. Va, has been set up and
Will be unveiled in that town Saturday. the
I'D instant. leaders in the opposition to the
site selected are keeping alive the contro-
Versy. Capt. Fountain Beattie of Fairfax,
one of the survivors of Mosby's command,
has just written lengthy letter against
locating the memorial in a cemetery. He
replies to Col. W. Ben. Palmer of Rich
mond. commander of the Mosby camp. and
states that Col Palmer's explanation of
why the executive committee decided upon
the position in the cemetery shows that the
commander realizes having made mis-
take.
Capt. Beattie states that he made a visit
to Front Royal to inform himself as to the
location and what efforts had been made
to secure another and more suitable spot
He asserts that the supervisors of Warren
county checrfully offered the use of any
site the committee might select in the coun-
ty court yard.
Capt. Beattie. continuing, argues in favor
OF what is known as the Stricken triangle
al the into. ection Of streets going toward
Riverton. and asserts that prominent cit
liens gave assurance that if this spot were
chosen they would pay for the ground and
inclose and beautify the monument. These
facts. the captain claims sufficient an
swers to the contention that the cemetery
location was selected for want of better
place. The writer goes on to say that he
had personally seen many citizens of Front
Royal, and had found but four who were
in favor of what Capt Beatte designates
as the gray lard location"
THE object of the monument" the writer
continues, lis to keep alive. fresh and
green the memory of our comrades. and
this will be entirely defeated if placed
where only dead men can see it,
AS to removing the monument from it's
present situation, the writer says: 1T is
never too late to rectify a wrong and it is
to he hoped that this matter may be
brought to the attention of the camp. The
trivial expense necessary for the removal
of the monument is nothing compared
with the inexpressible injustice done to
the memory of our comrades by RELOCATING
their memories to the shades of oblivion or
what is as near to this as can be done
burying the monument in graveyard"

THEIR NEW HEADQUARTERS
Police to Occupy Building on @ Street About
October 10.
improvements Being Made to Station
Houses-FOrce Crippled by Ill
ness and Accidents.

The new headquarters of the police de-
partment, on street northwest between
Az and 9th streets, will be ready for occu-
pancy about the middle of next month.
While the new apartments will not be just
what Major Sylvester wants, they will be
about as good as he expects to get with
the limited appropriation for the rent of
quarters. There will not be room enough
in the building. but the rooms will all be
on one floor, with the exception of the
headquarters of the sanitary officer, who
will be quartered in the basement. Pro-
vision has been made for the storage OF
bicycles, and with the new arrangement
of the rooms Major Sylvester believes there
will be more work accomplished by the
officials and clerical force.
The entrance to the building will be on
street, although the alley entrance in
the rear of the District building may be
kept open to accommodate the officials who
have business with the Commissioners.
Major Sylvester's idea of the appearance
and sanitary condition of police stations
has been put in practice to some extent in
the first police precinct. The station on
18th street has been reprinted and consid-
cradle whftewash has also been used. The
building was never very bright and the
new post office building has made 1t more
gloomy than it was formerly. To offset
some of this effect the walls in the rear and
on one side of the building have been
whitened and the inner walls have also
been freshened up. New iron enameled
beds have been put in the building. and the
sanitary arrangements have been thorough
ly overhaued.
The present location of the station is re-
garded by the policemen and officials alike
as unsuitable. 1t is Commissioner Wight's
purpose to have a central police station in
the heart of the city. Should Congress ever
appropriate money for such building an

The police invalid list makes a bad show

the force Is badly crippled. In addition to
the number of men off duty because of
minor ailments, three officers have broken
legs, one mans legs are giving way at the
knees one had his thumb hurt by a shot
another has typhoid fever, two have con-

Several transfers were announced today
Policemen 1nglehardt and Edwards of the

precincts, respectively In the eighth pre-

post duty at Brightwood to succeed officer
D. w. Lewis, who takes a White House de-
tail.
The promotions and appointments made
by the Commissioners yesterday upon
recommendation of Major Sylvester, as
stated in yesterdays Star, will take effect
the list of October.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, September 81. 1899.
The recent removal of John Harrington
from the foremanship of the street gang
and the subsequent appointment of William
Lobe to that position has occasioned much
comment, and is now the subject of official
investigation. By reason of the fact that
Mr.. Dobie is a member Of the city council
1t is claimed he is Ineligible
Mayor Simpson, in discussing the matter
with a Star reporter this morning, quoted
the Virginia code, which provides that no
person while a member of the city council
shall enter into any contract with the cor
poratfon to supply it with either labor or
goods. Mayor Simpson said this law was
clearly the one covering the case, although
a technical point might be raised as to
whether a street foreman, on a salary of
~ per day, belonged to the category of con-
tractors He thought, however, that this
would be a distinction without a difference.
Mr.. Dobie is a member of the board of
aldermen and also of the street committee,
in which capacity he is intimately co meet
ed with all street appropriations, and this
1act Is the principal point of objection.
In the old council a resolution was intro
duced directing an inquiry as to whether
any members were violating the law above
mentioned, but the matter was allowed to
drop.

MISUSE OF HYDRASTs.
Matter Called to Attention of District
Engineer Department..

The attention of the District engineer
department was recently called by the SUI
perintendent Of the water department to
the manner in which the fire hydrants are
being abused by those who use them for
other than fire purposes, such as for sprin-
king the streets. flushing sewers, etc. Re
pairs of an extensive nature are often ne
cessitated and the superintendent of the
water department recommends that spe-
cial attachment, consisting of a nozzle and
reducer, fitted with a screw valve. be sup
piled. Captain Gailard. assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner. has recommended
that the nozzle be adopted, but he does
not believe that 1t will afford sufficient dis
charge of water to flush sewers, and this
work will have to be carried on as hereto
fore, whether the reducer be adopted or
not
The Commissioners will. it Is understood,
approve Captain Gailard's recommended
tions.
