He repeats the assertion made in his report of the day before that the disaster ‘Was due to the recklessness of the captain, engi- heer and fireman of the tug.

He is re- siding in Thorold, Canada, Upon this informa- tion being received, the Secretary of War ordered him to proceed at once to Washington and report in person. An answer was recetved from him yes- terday, in which he declined to obey the order. Major Nickerson, after he disappeared, regularly reported hi3 address to the War department early every month, until last month. A few days before the end of September a letter was recelved from him at the War department dated at Thorold, Canada, September 0th, stating that he had forwarded his address as Philadelphia, but that he learned that it had not been recelved. His habit of forwarding his address was to pre- vent being dropped as a deserter. It was upon the receipt of this letter that Secretary Lincoln ordered him to Washington. | Major Niekerson defies the authorities, feeling sure that he cannot De extradited. No further action has been taken in the matter, but in all probability he will be dropped from the army as a deserter, although that course has not been decided upon as yet.

WORK ON THE NEW STRUCTURE BEGUN—A NOVEL PLAN FOR A HOSPITAL—IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADR IN THE GROUNDS, &C. ‘The erection of the new Garfield Memorial Hos- Pital was begun this week, and the work will be pushed forward as rapidly as possible. To speak of the erection of a hospital naturally suggests a massive pile of brick and stone, but this new hos- pital fs built on an entirely different plan. As has been recently stated 1n THE Stan, the association purchased the Schnelder property, at the head of 10th street, Besides the grounds which are extensive, and handsomely ald out, there 1s a brick dwelling house 1o- cated on the brow of the hill commanding a fine view of the city. This house ts two stories high and has ample rooms, ard will be used as the dwelling of the officers and attendants of the hospital. It isto be known as the “Administra- tion Building.” On the west side of this bulldin round has been broken for the erection of a bri uilding, 60 feet long and 30 feet wide. It will be two stories high and have a high-pitched roof. A covered passageway will connect this building with the old house.

John Taylor, president of the church, was the first. speaker. He gave a description of the chureh, its officers and thelr duties. He sald that a semt- | the latter were agents of God on earth to carry out 113 Works, and that God would sustain His peo- ple, and Zon wouid grow and reign forever. He- ber J. Grant, one of the new apostles appotated last year, followed Mr, Taylor, ani zealously ad- vocated polygamy and tithe paying. He sald that after the passage of the Edmunds law psirgamlsts professing tobe gooaLatter DaySaintshad putaway their wives and sent them to their motlers. He had an utter contempt for such men. He had more respect for Gentiles or Methodists, avowed ene- mies, than he had for Latter Day Saints frightened by a’law passed by Congress.

God had rescued them from impendins danger several times within the past six mouths.

They had refused to give thelr names Both had plenty of money: ‘ney arrived by Way of Alter, and said they had been on the road several days before reaching this place. The only clew to the men fs that one called. the other ‘Billy,’ the latter looking lke an Eng- Mshman, having’ a light complexion, and being about sixty years of age.” This tends to confirm a Teport circulated yesterday on the street of the eath of William Eustice, who 1s well known in detective circles, and who spirited away George Smeardon, {a prominent witness in the Tiffany cases, to Altar. ‘The description of the above men. by Gregory answers exactly to Smeardon and Eus- Uce. As far as Smeardon is concerned whisky could never have been the direct cause’of his death, Yellow fever has probably settled Tif- fany’s case forever.
