that will follow.

Of the work at Park avenue: John
BracEen, a foreman, and Martin Nc
Grath, an assistant foreman. were
placed under arrest and charged With
homicide. William Barclay Parsons,
chief engineer Of the Rapid Transit
commission, said that Shaler was one
OF the NEST competent and careful
engineers he ever knew.
The damage may exceed 81 900. 900.
The first estimate on the Murray Hill
hotel placed the loss at 100000 but
later the hotel was abandoned as I'm.
safe. If the building is condemn d
the less on it alone will approach
S1,OO0.000. The damage to the Grand
Union was estimated at $4,000. and
that to the Manhattan hospital at
$4,000. The less at the Grand Cen

assigned to the coroner's Office en-
tered and, under the coroner's in.
structions, demanded that the pris.

aud his assistants followed. The dis
rict attorney. told the coroner that
there was no information in the

anybody, and there was a wordy
srar lie between the two officials. In
spite OF protests the coroner gave the
case to the jurymen, who returned 4

of the district attorneys detectives.
Then the detectives and the clerk

Historic Memorial Places and Buildings
of the Great Battle of Trenton

The battle OF Trenton was fought
again recently in mlmicry on the old
battlefield, and the glory of the pa
triot soldiers of George Washington
was sounded in the crash of musketry
and cannon, the blare of brass bands,
the uproar of human voices and the
cadences of fine oratory.
The feature of the day was unques-
tionably the sham battle, which was
facsimile. so to speak. of the real bat
tie OF century and quarter ago.
Three mimic forces were in the field.
They were those of General Washing
ton and of General Sullivan and the
Hesslans. The original battle-ground
was gone over and every care was
exercised to make the sham battle
as realistic and as historically ac-
curate as possible.
Excellent judges who were present
said that history was re-enacted with
remarkable fidelity as to the DISPOSE
tion of the troops the firing. the losses
on both sides, and the subsequent ma
chinery of the action. There was one

realism. The American troops in this
mimic battle did not suffer the pain
endured by their ancestors because of
insufficient clothing and protection
from the cold.
Down near the monument the first
shots were fired. Then the battle
ragged for an hour through Broad and
Warren streets. Colonel Gilmore of
the Second New Jersey National
Guard was in command of the Hes
SLAMS. These troops steadily retreat
ed before the American army. but
halted now and again TO fire a volley
at the Yankees. The surrender took
place at two points. first in front OF
the postofiice in East State street, and
again in South Broad street
