Lawyer Moss Exonerated. JUDGE MILLER, HOWEVER, MAKES A NEW RULE TO GOVEKN PRACTICE BEFORE THE POLICE COURT. Judge Miller, of the Police Court, this morning exonerated John A. Moss, the lawyer, whose course in keeping possession of a watch, which he claimed asa fee froma man named Fry, was brought to the attention of the court yesterday. The court to-day heard the statement of Mr. John A. Clarke to show that Mr. Mose appeared for the defendant Fry. The judge remembered having seen the pris- oner conferring with Mr. Moss before the trial, and the judge sald that Fry either Med” or was mistaken in what ‘he had said. The judge saw no reason under the circum- ‘stances for imposing a fine on Mr. Moss or even Teprimanding him. But considering the facts shown in the case, he said be had decided to make @ new rule governing practice about the court, The judge suid no pt would be rall- Touded through the court without opportunity of Seguring counsel and witnesses “Hereatter in to protect: the each one Will ve asked by an oj Porvualty to vecure woiné one, Dut # some erunat jborized person appears clatmi ‘counsel for the: prisoner it would constitute ‘clear case Of pt ‘The judge asked what had become of the watch, and Mr. Moss said he Dut was willing to return it to the come forward and admit that he had wronged ee ‘The Tennis Tournament, ‘The tournament of the Capital Tennis Club was Continued yesterday, and the games were well contested. 8 E Lewis beat T.

It 1s more than probabie that some day next ‘Week the passenger elevator in the Washington Monument; will carry its first load of sight-seers tothe top of the shaft, ‘Tne sundry civil bill just ‘signed by the President contains ap appropriation of $10,500 for the care and custody of the monu- ment and grounds, and the running of the elevator for the coming year, and assoon as an official copy of this act reaches Col, Jno, M. Wilson, Commis- sioner of Public Buildings and Grounds, and the ‘engineer in charge of the monument, he will take the necessary steps to start the machinery and open the monument to the public. In fact he told a Star reporter this morning that he has pushed matters so far in anticipation of this event that in less than forty-eight hours after he recelves the lal document the elevator cable will be pulled for the first trip toward the cap stone. WHY THE SHAPT WAS CLOSED TO VISITORS. It will be remembered that on the 7th of May, 1887, the Washington Monument Commission at meeting paseed un order to the effect that in view of the damage done to the monument by thought- Jess visitors, and in the absence of any appropria- on for its protection the engineer in charge should close the shaft to visitors, Without distinc- ‘Ucn, on and after the 9th of May, 1887. A great deal of damage had been done to the interior of the shaft, some of It irreparable, and without the elevator and without the presence of electric Mghts and an army of workmen it was found impossible to prevent the gradual destruction of the beautiful tablets That line the inside walls. Consequently this strict order was issued, and since that time the only persons who have ascended the shaft have been those connected with the work, com. pelled to do 80, either to open the upper windows togive ventilation or to adjust the machinery of the elevator at the In view of this order, Col. Wilson announces that no one will be allowed to go up the stairways, but that all who Visit the Monument tnust ride up in the elevator, THE FORCE THAT WILL BE EMPLOYED AND THEIR DUTIES. ‘There will be a force of seven men employed to care for the monument and grounds and to attend to the visitors, ‘They will be in charge of the cus- todian, Mr. Geo. M. Thomas, who has been con- nected with the monument for a number of years, ‘There will be a senior steam engineer in charge of the machinery, and responsible for its care, with an assistant engineer and two firemen. The ele- Vator car will be in cl of @ conductor, and at the top and bottom of the shaft wil be floormen Vo care for the cleanliness of the walls and floors and to prevent crowding at the doors of the ele- Vator, ‘The grounds outside will be patroled by three’ watchinen. ‘The watchmen and floormen will wear a pain 8 blue uniform with black buttons and a blac or straw hat, according to the season, 4 LIST OF RULES has been prepared by Col. Wilson for the guidance of the employes.

In conversation today with Wm.

The parts of Work examined embrace a large ‘ottbad and Worthless work, but they are, in fact, the best rion of the tunnel, Whetlier this iS known to ut, Townsend OF not it Would not be aifMcult to guess, Yet the fact does exist that this investi- Ling process Now being Worked has had a happy faculty of choosing the places for operation which contain the best work on the whole line of the tun- nel. If Lieut, Townsend and Major Lydecker are jorant of this fact, and have no knowledge of the position of the bad work, they can readily be made these changes and are prepared show up made these cl and are pre] up the rottenness of the work. ORUSTS ON THE ARCHES, “The manner in which this investigation 1s pro- ceeding, outside of the interested parties who are conducting it, 1s too absurd and impracticabie for intelligent people to believe will effect a thorough, searching inquiry of Oring to, light the detects ex- isting or show the magnitude of the slight, im- Proper workmanship or the reckless character of the work perfor ‘To better illustrate this it is uly sumicient to state that a two-inch drill 18 be- ing used to expose the frauds practiced, when it gwell-known fact that in many places over the y of the arch ‘of @ solid durable charac- tev will be found ‘to. the depth of 20 feet, whtle above this solid packing will remain spaces trom 3 10 5 feet up to the roof of excavation.

IL Just occurs to me tbat Mr, Quackenbush may have known sometuing about this work; as a contractor be could not be ignorant Of the fact that one cubic yard of masoury cou- sumes one barrel of cement.
