Mr. Ciuss and the Washiagten Moau- ment. Mr. Adolf Cluss, of this city, has, it a , entered his protest against complet- ing the Washington Monument in ac- cordance with its present plan. In a pa- Fer which he at te meeting of the American Institute of Architects, in Philadelphia, last week, after reviewing tbe bist of the structure, he said that “the design of the menument has been con: demned by the well-nigh unanimous verdict of the ari eritics, the profession, and the Feople of cultivated taste in thiscountry. At the same time the idea has prevailed that, thousands having contributed toward d fray ing the expense of complet the mon. ument in accordance with the which bave been }11 phed @nd circulated, it would be bad faith and sacri! to itdown and substitute forms worthily petuatipg the stands of monumental art in tbe frst centerrial of American Independ- ence.

The Institute passed @ resolution to memorialize the p: authorities against a continuance of the work on the Wasbington monument in ac- cordance with the present plans. —_—— AFRICAN METHODIST PREACHERS’ As- SOCIATION.—At the regular weekly meeting of the African Methodist E; 1 Preach- ers’ Association, at Union Bethel church yesterday, the questions, “What is the best methcd of conducting prayer meetings?” and ‘Does sanctification destroy the possibility to sin?” were discussed at some length.

A RICH OLD MaIp—880,000 Stuffed in Red- ding and Furnture.—A spinater named Emma Cornwall died recently at Town: tation. Upon examination it was fuund that the de- ad $80,000 in bank stocks and United States bonds, and the farm, valued at $20 000, made up her wealth. The bonds and stocks were found hid away in old trunke, in dress pockets, stuffed in rolls of carpeting, in bed- Ging, and in fact the search for her posses. sions was one surprise.

House, a New York lawyer and real estate agent, was com- menced in Mercer county, New Jersey, yes- lerday. It will be recollected that in an Sitereation at their country residence in New Jersey a few months since, Mrs. House drew a pistol and shot ber husband in the bead, inflicting a wound from which he died in @ few hourr. The New York pa: state the actions of a brother of House since the murder have been so: Mer as to excite much comment. He fi lied to the law the will. A fee of $500 was demanded as a@retainer. Houre iearned that the ter part of the property was purchased in Mrs. louse’s name, all tt was inherited under the will was @ few thousand dol- lars’ worth of personal pi ty that would be consumed in paying lawful debts of the deceased man. He did not consult the Jersey City law firm, but his second apy Lee was in Trenton; here he called at the residence of Mr. Van Sant, in Living- ston Piace, where Mrs. House was living, He paid her marked attention, and tried every means, it is asserted, to induce her to marry him, but without success. Subse- quently be caused a letter to be written from New York containing a formal proposal of marr'age, and a prom!se to stop all legal ve in relation to the will. This step would b&ve secured to him all the prop- erty in the event of Mrs. House’s sentence to a term in state prison. Mrs. House placed Ubis letter in the bends of her coungel, Mr. Green. Failing in this, House next applied to the Mercer county board of freeholders, requesting aid from the county in the prose. cution jof bis brother's murderer, on the ground that he was poor, and that she, being Wealthy, was able to sechre the best of coun- sel. ¢ last time that House called on Mr. Beaseley, prosecutor of the pleas of Mercer county, the latter advised bim not to return, and raid: “I don’t iy 7 gm of your actions. You first come here to marry your brother's widow, avd, when she refused, you want to add @ persona! animus to the prosecution.” THE CHEESEMAN TRAGEDY—Siatement by the Wounded Woman —Mrs. Cora Cheeseman, the young woman who was shot under such mysteri Surday pight she made the foilowing ie. ment; “I forraerly resided in Lynn, Mass., where I became iutimate with a young lady to whom ] ‘wade very valuable preseats. Nine months ego I moved to this city, as it 8 more convenient to my husband. Four months ago this young lady came to New York and asked me to give her $100, which I refused to do. She said, ‘I will separate 5 4 rate us if yon can.’ SI ve ani and then left. Two weeks ago I fit covered that my busband’s conduct was much changed, and he became very coo! to- wards me. On Thuraday night my hasband asked me the cause of the difference between me and my friend,to whieh I replied that she wanted $100, which I refused to give ber. My husband left the house after eating his supper, and returned about 11 o'clock, when we each drank a glass of wine. He said to me, ‘Cora, 1 am going to leave you,’ and I said, ‘If do I will shoot myself.’ He then said, ‘Iam going,’ and I thea took @ revolver from my and fired, the ing between my left arm and boay juried itself inthedoor.
