NEW YORK, April 7.-Artists and sculp-
tors. who have recently been limiting that
the Worth monument at Madison Square is
out of place and ought to be removed, have
apparently overlooked or forgotten the fact
that the shaft which for more than forty
years has stood at that busy centre is not
only a monument. but that it marks the
sepulchre of General William Jenkins
Worth the hero of Monterey Chapultepec.
Cerro Gordo, and Vera Cruz.
Brigadier General William Scott Worth,
L. S A.. the son of General Worth. be-
lieves that if this fact had been generally
known such suggestion would never have
been seriously considered. The site OF the
sepulchre and of the monument was New
York city's own selection. The shaft was
put there by the city of New York as a
tribute to one who was native of New
York State.
On the death of General Worth in 1S49
crowned with the laurels of his victories in
the war of 1872 the Florida Indian war
and the Mexican war, a committee OF New
York citizens asked his widow to permit
New York city to provide his burial place
and mark 1t with a suitable memorial She
willingly assented and the generals body
was temporarily placed in vault in Green

Shortly after the street duel Col. F. II.
Fitch, a Republican attorney. knocked a
Democratic constable down, when the lat
ter pulled a gun, but was prevented from
shooting by bystanders.
1t is rumcred that an attempt may be
made to lynch Ross. but it is believed the
officials will be able to cope with any diff
ficulty which may arise.
The shooting occurred on one of the
busiest thoroughfaTes in the city and half
a dozen piateglass windows were pierced
by bullets. There was great commotion
among the clerks and customers in stores

which expected TO extOrt his whereabouts
from his old father last night, and which
was bent on summary vengeance. did OF
see the suspect or any member of his fam
lily. The father and mother had left their
little home.
Edward is said to have worked in smith
field. He had held malice against Bryant
& Horne. to whose store the torch was
first applied. since being elected from the
place last December. and he is alleged TO
have threatened its destruction by fire.
The motive. threats, and tracks. with the
fact that Tillman had recently been seen
in the vicinity, Ivor people say, are strong
links in a chain of circumstantial evidence
Now that feeling is more subdued il is be-
lisved that the advice of conservative men
