Movement TO Erect a Monument to Their
Memory Likely TO Be Successful

New York. Feb. 2s--The movement to
build a monument to the martyrs OF the
prison ships in the revolution seems like
ly to be successful 1t is to cost $780,
600 and all but $1,000 is subscribed. Con-
gress. the state Of New York and the city
of New York have appropriated amounts
aggregating S75,OOo.
The prisoners for whom the monument
Is 10 be built are those who were con-
fined In the prison hulks anchored in
the East river near the present site OF
the Brooklyn navy yard.
Four thousand OF Washington's sol
diers. captured at the battle OF Long
Island were confined In these hulks and
subsequent captives were added to their
number until considerable feet was
employed for the purpose. Release was
continually offered 10 all who would
forswear the cause for which they had
fought but only one mana Hession-
accepted liberty on that condition. while
more than 1900 died In their heating

one developed at the latter meeting.

Here is an opportunity for Providence
to get a large building. something ornate
as well as useful something that will
prove veritable bee hive of industry,
a money making enterprise.
1t will complete a now broken chain OF
financial buildings. II will bring a hand
some yearly revenue to the city That Is
what Is need above all other considera-
tions.
The present river walls can be carried
up a few feet, across these can be run
steel girders and above these can be
erected a steel structure similar to the
Union Trust Co.'S building
There will be no necessity for tearing
up the streets. There will be no need OF
blocking OF public travel. The derricks
can be placed inside the structure, the
building material can be handled so that
they will not obstruct either vehicles
or pedestrians and nobody need be dis
comflted.
1t is up 10 the city council to act WISE
ly. quickly and for the good Of the public.

fiCatiOn Of Slayer.

Buffalo, ~. Y, Feb. 2s.-Mrs. K. l.
murdered yesterday in her home. arrived
here today from Atlantic City and was
driven TO the house on Ashland avenue.
District Attorney Coatsworth, Assistant
Abbott and several detectives worked to
gether on the case until an early hour
today.
The most important clue so far 10 the
finding OF the hackman who drove an un-
identified man TO within a few doors OF
the Burdick vesidence at about midnight
on Thursday night.
A second valuable clew is In the hsuds
Of the authorities. II is a tuft OF hair OF
about 1s or 20 hairs. They were found
on the person OF Mr.. Burdick but are not
OF his hair. They look SIS II they had
been torn out OF someone's head Wheth-
er they We're in the head OF a man or or
a woman the authorities do not say.
The hair is OF color and texture
which can be quickly matched with the
hair OF which it was a part.
The picture OF a married woman OF this
city was found In the den but the dis
trict attorney laid IL aside so far as It's
immediate value is concerned.
A paper sent 10 Mr.. BIrdick by Cleve-
land woman containing an account OF the
granting OF a divorce from her husband
was likewise found. The police learned
that the woman was IN Cleveland Thurs
day night and that her former husband Is
working in New York or some other east
ern city
A visit was made after midnight upon
we'll known attorney residing In the
same locality. He and his Iife were ques'
toned at length The officials simply en-
deavored TO get all the Information posst-
bic relating TO Mr. Burdick's affairs.
