On the Battery. the fret commend
ing officer Governors island has had in
a long time who has made any social
stir in the city. His marriage two years
ago to Miss Patten, of Philadelphia,
who to considerable wealth unites high
social standing in that city, explains the
change.
Gen. COrbin is man of mountainous
physique, huge and commanding in stat
ure, ready of wit and Astounding in bust
ness ability. His war record has not
greatly endeared him to the old soldiers
of the fighting type about Washington,
and he came at times perilously near
snubbing in exclusive military circles in
the capital. But anyone who imagines
that without much of military record
a man can rise to be major general in the
army without ability makes a great mis-
take. Corbin has made himself invalu-
able to successive commanders because
of his executive ability. He is keen and
coldly intellectual, never shrinks from
making enemies when necessary, and
knows how to obey orders. The depart
ment of which he is the head stretches
from Maine to Porto Rico and includes
many smaller posts.
For years New York enjoyed the rather
odd social factor of a Col. Hamilton, a
member of the famous family of Alex
ander Hamilton, in command of Fort
Hamilton, named after his illustrious
klnsman. Col. Hamilton is now retired.

the influx of professional thieves from
other cities, who. vulture like, are ever
close un the heels of any calamity;
Speaking of the result of this detec-
tive patrol. Chief Hogan said:--
"The one feature of the great fire that
has so far been overlooked is the utter
absence of crime accompanying and fol
lowing it. Since Sunday morning,
February Z, Baltimore has been practic-
ally free from theft, our daily robbery
reports being so trivial that they gener-
ally go into the waste basket. Indeed,
there has not been complaint from the
fire area. This is remarkable. for
thieves always congregate where there
is any gathering of people. We expect
ed big arrivrl of guns from outside
and stationed the visiting detectives at
the various railroad stations and other
entrances to the city. Our own men
were detailed to look after local crooks.
Not one arrest has been made, although

crook at sight.
81 cannot praise too hig hly the good
work done by Philadelphia men, Their
record speaks for itself. for when the
detectives can find no one to arrest it is
practically certain no crime is being
committed This is true in the present
case, and really believe il is due to the
energy and vigilance of the visiting de-
tectives.
