INTERESTING CEREMONIES 860 FEET IN THE ATR— COL. CASEY HANDLES THE TROWEL—WORK STILL TO BE DONE ON THE STRUCTURE—A TALK WITH COL. CASRY, ETC. The shaft of the Washington monument was completed at two o'clock this afternoon, when the capstone was placed in its final position. The ceremontes attending the laying of the last stone were very staple. It was a private celebration, a3 it were, the dedication proper being set for the 224 of February next. Early in the week the hoisting apparatus which had been used for ralsing and Setting the stones of the root was removed, and in its stead was erected the quadrupod, resting ope the wooden platform which surrounded the root at a helght of 5% feet. ‘There remained but nine stones to complete the structure, and these were pisced upon the platrorm referrell to, ready to be olsted in position by means of thé block and tackle attached tothe new apparatus. Eight of these stones were set on Wednesday, and arrange- ments Were then made for THE CROWN PIECE. It isreally a cuniform keystone,tts height from base to top being 5 feet 23 Inchea.

In order to obviate any delay, the capstone was raised and lowered into Position before the hour for setting it had arrived, Lo see if it fitted accurately. It was then raised and lowered again upon strong skids, and remained 1n that position until this afternoon. THE AERIAL CEREMONIES THIS AFTERNOON. By 2 o'clock many persons sought points trom which they could view the ceremonies in midair. Many fleld-glasses and telescopes were leveled to the top of the monument. Promptly on time, notwithstanding the dizling rain, those who ‘were to take part in the aeriil ceremonies made their appearance upon the topmost platform at the height of the capstone. ‘They were: Col. T. L. Casey, the engineer officer in chatge; Capt. Davis and Mr’ Bernard It. Green, his assistants; Mr, McLaughlin, the master mechanic who has had charge of te work of constructing the monument; Dennis O'Leary, the principal mason, and the colored mau O'brien, who has mixed all the mortar used in setting the stones. On the platform directly below were Mr. F. L. Har- vey, secretary of the joint monument. commisstot J.B. Dutton, ehief clerk; Mr. Friebus, drattsm and Mr. G. M. Thomas, of Col. Casey's office; wor! men Who had been empleyed on the monument, and representatives Of the press, Each of those on the capstone platform spread some mortar upon the bed of the stone, Col. Casey betng the last one to handle the trowel. ‘The capstone was then low- ered Into position, fitting like a glove. ‘The copper rod which fs to connect it with the elevator frame to form a lghtning rod was then Tua through the stone from below, and the aluminiuin tp was at once secured upon it At this moment Cul. Casey pulled a rope which UNFURLED THB AMERICAN FLAG It was impossible to float the flag, as was in- tended, from the top of the flag staff which had been erected for the purpose, on account of the very high wind, It was run ‘up to the top of the scaffolding above the capstone, where It served a8 a signal to announce the successful setting of the capstone. When the flag display a salute of twenty-one guns was fired by Major Hanneman’s artille Stationed in the White lot. ‘The Washington Monument society was repre- sented on the piatform by Gen. W. McKeo Dunn, Hon. Horatlo King, Dr. Daniel B, Clarke and Dr. ‘M.Toner. early all the Invited guests remained at the 500-f00t scaffolding, being prevented trom going higher by the strong wind. WORK STILL T0 BE DONE. Although the obelisk 1s now completed, there is much work still to be done, Probably the most im- portant matter remaining 1s the design for the base of the monument, which has not been selected yet. There 1s no haste in this respect, but there are many other things to be attended’to at once. All the scaffolding and v1 about the summit of the monument are to be removed, and a great deal of finishing work fs to be done in the interior of the shaft. The stairway 1s to be much improved, and to prevent moisture from collecting 1n the seatns of the Interior stones, the wails are to be covered with. Portland cement.’ The memortal stones. will, of course, not be cemented, and their faces will remain untouched. ‘There area great, many memorial stones yet to be set, but care will be taken to exclude all those which convey any personality or advertise- r which are, in any respect, undestraple In gn, When a memorial stone 1s t one oF more of the interior granite stones will be removed to make a place for It. ‘The elevator, which 1s now nothing more than a Plain movable platform, will be s9on put in a more suitabie form for passenger service. It 1s Colonel Casey's Intention to put a railing and comfortable seats around 1t. ‘TO BE OPENED TO THE PUBLIC. AS soon as this 1s done he will open the monu- Ment to the public, and visitors will be taken up at appropriate hours.’ The elevator welghs three tons itself, and wag made fliteen times as strong as Was necessary to Moist the six-ton stones which 1t has had to raise to the top of the monument. A TALE WITH COL. CASEY. “There are lots of stones in that monument,” sald Colonel Casey, as he approached 1t, accompa nied by aSran reporter, “It all the stones in it were spread upon the ground, they would cover not only the monument grounds, but the entire White lot.” “You have no fear that the structure may take a tumble some time, I suppose?” suggested THE STAR reporter, “Not the slightest. The only thing that can ever Such a visitor 1s possi- move it 1s an earthquake. bie, but not probabie. If it should go over, the break would occur about one-third the distance from the base, which 1s the weakest point in all such structures. Thatis where the new work was joined to the old, at a height of 150 feet. The foundation of the monument is as firm as could be possible, although there Js over 80,000 tons’ weight resting upon 1” fhe simple manner in which the roof of thé monument Was set was a@ revelation to the public, Said the reporter. “Do you know of any other buildings with roof similarly constructed?” “No. There may be some, but I don’t know about them. The fact 1s, I didn’t pay any attention to other buildings. The Washington monument was enough for me to attend to, and I had my own ideas as to how the roof should be bullt, Istudied out what seemed to be the simplest and easiest method of constructing it, and gave instructions accordingly, and there itis,” pointing up towards ‘the sky. INSCRIPTIONS ON THE ALUMINIUM APEX. The aluminium tip which forms the extreme point of the monument was taken to the monument to-day by Col. Casey, and was by him screwed upon the summit of the capstone. It had been engraved th suitable iInsoriptions. On one face was: “Chief Engineer and Architect, Thos, Lincoin Casey, colonel corps of engineers; ' assistants, Geo, W. Davis, 14th U. 3. Infantry; Bernard R. Green, civil engineer; master mechanic, P. H. McLaugh: lin.” On another: “Cornerstone laid on bed of foundation July 4th, 1848. First stone at height of 162 feet, laid August 7th, 1880. Capstone set Decem- ber 6th, 1884.” On a third: “Joint commission at ‘setting of capstone—Chester A. Arthur, W. W. Cor- coran (chairnan), M. F, Bell, Edward Clark, Jon Newton, act of August 24, 1876.” And on the last face the words: “Laus Deo.” PRECAUTIONS AGAINST LIGHTNING. ‘The pi lons made to prevent the shaft from being di by lightning have attracted con- siderable attention. ‘The question has arisen whether the lightning rod arrangement, consetiy of an albuminium tip, connected by a copper with the iron frame work of the elevator, which extends to the ground, affords sufficient protection. A Stak reporter asked Capt. Davis, the assistant engineer officer of the monument, 1n regard to the matter. “There need be no apprehenston on that score,” was the reply. “The fact 18, the stone structure in itself a satisfactory lightning rod, and the chances are that there would never be any trouble 4{ there were no other arrangement for carrying off electricity. You know yourself that there are hundreds of church spires built of stone in Europe, and, indeed, in this country, long before lightn! rods were invented.

It seems that some of the men who tionhave, since “the investigation was of dered, said they were not regularly ap- polntéd, bur were wearing the badges for fun.” Some of the mem! of the committee having hoard of this have caiied attention to a law passed at the last session of Congress and approved April 18th, 1884. It provides that every person who with intent to defraud the United States, or any person falsely assumes or pretends to be an officer or ployoacting under the autuority of the United States, or any ‘a who shall take upon himself to act as such, be guilty of a fetony and liable to a fine of not Anore than $1,000 or imprisonment not longer than Uhree years or both. It 13 claimed that this law Will apply to persons who wore marshal’s badges, ‘but say they had no appointment, and a member of the Springer committee, speaking of the Cincin- nati deputies, said: can take elther horn of the dilemma they please.

THR SESSIONS OF THR PLENARY COUNCIL 800N TO CLOSR—THE COMING PASTORAL, From the Baltimore American. ‘The third plenary council will fin'sh its labors on Saturday afternoon, after 4 month of dajly ses- sions, in which the learned bishops and theolo- glans discussed most thoroughly and efficiently subjects of great importance to the church tn this country. It can be said that a more distinguished body of ecclesiastics never assembled in this coun- try, since its theologians have been selected from ainong the best educated of the Catholic clergy in America, whose wise Judgment assisted the bishops in framibg the decreca passed by them. Among the decrees read and adopted tn solemn sessions at the cathedral, and already Published exclu slvely,in 7he Amertoan, were the following: Conterning our Apostolic Vicars. ‘The decree embraced the conduct of these functionaries in whatsoever relates to the spread of the faith as ‘their chief office. Concerning the Catholic Faith, A solemn and detailed profession of faith will hereafter be re- Quired of, all who enter upon the sacred ministra- lons of the church. Concerning Caristian Misstonaries. These are to ‘be subordinate in a greater degree than has hither- to been the case to their natural superiors, the members of the episcopacy. Concerning the Education of Boys In the Semi- naries, where they are to be taught the truths of religion in a thorough and effective manner. The reservation of the Divine teaching in its pristine urity and integrity 1s to be regatded as a prime luty and of sovereign importance, Concerning the Examination of the Clergy. Greater age, longer time of theological study, and greater actual learning will be necessary for ad- mission to the priesthood. Certain restrictions, not hitherto strictly observed, in regard to the celebra- tion of tne will be énforced, full force to this end being given the council’sdecision under a per- tinent stitute of Pope Innocent LiL Concerning the Sacrament of Matrimony. The sanctity of the marriage tie was emphasized, and the opinion that the union established by divine institution is one to be dissolved at will was con- demned as an error to be severely reprehended. As the position of the church has never been doubt- ful on this point, the resolution can only be re- garded as an emphatic declaration of its firm pur- not to give way to any pressure that may be to bear in @ contrary sense, Conce! the examination for the priesthood. ‘This co’ @ considerable number of elations in detail, as to the considerations that shoul govern the theological seminaries in promoting luates to theological ranks and the qualifica- ns to be demanded of the candidatea) An im- pe) of the standards is to be almed at re, st the Sree ‘y oy me Pe tholic at least peal tpterence tah the title of Head Il, chap- ‘0 the al must be added a large number of chapters concerning the sacraments and doctrines church which have been and the de and which will Ek after Tesume of the chureh Tefer to tho aul itg relation to the state, Many of the subjects Felating to morals of ty wi also be amon; the ‘of aivoree, mixed inarriages, round tc. magazines and newspapers wiley reason BuaTe ‘the attention of the acted as deputy marshais at the Ohio elec- | Free Nicht Schools.

Slack, a committee representing District Assembiy, Na 6, Knights of Labor, addressed a letter to the District Commissioners, requesting them to include in their annual estimates an estimate for the support of one or more night schools. “It is a well-known fact,” Uhis letter said, “ that pumbers of our youth, and even children, by reason of the circumstances in which they ate placed, are compelied early in life to seek a means of Iivellhood, and are thus de- Prived of an opportunity to mvail themselves of the advantages aiforded the children of this commu- nity for’ acquiring a common school education. You will doubtless agree with usin regard to the importance and necessity of the children and youth of the coming generation having proper educ: tonal advantages, and ip our opinion for no class in the community is It more Inportant than for those who will constitute the working class of tne future.” Itis for children and youth of the class Teferred to that the committee petition for the es tablishtnent of night schools ‘The Commissioners have informed the committee that teachers and sehool-rooms will be turnisiied to accommodate all persons who may desire to attend night school, provided a sufficient number of names of such per? sons can be furnished them to warrant such ac- on.

They both Safd they were innocent. The prosecution called anumber of witnesses, whose testimony proved that Eliza was sitting on Henry, who was crying “murder.” ‘The court was in an uproar, the Jud joining in the laugh. “That does not constitute the crime of murder,” said the court. From Eliza’s tes- Umony it was shown that she was the old man’s tenant, and they had some trouble about rent which ‘was owing, and that when the old man struck her with a Stick, she pushed him down and sat on him. “Now, you will have wo defend your- self,” said the judge to the old man.
