THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON THE TUNNEL INQUIRY. A Summary of the Results So Far Reached by the Military Court. WHAT THE TESTIMONY SO FAR TAKEN HAS SHOWN— BAD WORK ALL ALONG THE LINE—NO KNOWING HOW LONG THE INVESTIGATION WILL CONTINUE— ©'BRIEN’S WHEREABOUTS ALSO UNKNOWN. The military court of inquiry investigating the lining frauds in the aqueduct tunnel are at last fairly started in their work. They are badly crippled by a lack of means for the prep- aration of the records, having but one steno- grapher on duty, and therefore the examina- tion of witnesses has not proce€ded as rapidly as it would otherwise have done. The court have now inspected the tunnel where they saw indications of bad work, and at the close of last week had examined six witnesses, all but one of whom—Ciark, the contractors’ engineer, who said nothing about bad work—have testified directly to the effect that the packing behind the brick arches in the tunnel is bad, and that this kind of work is so extensive that the chances are in favor of finding holes almost anywhere. Inspector Lucas was on the stand three times. From his testimony. considered by itself, it was clear that he endeavored to have good work done by the men under his supervision; that he suspected O’Brien, and when he made known his suspicions he was TOLD TO MIND HIS OWN BUSINESS. At times his testimony went a long way towards implicating Kirlin, but his evidence seemed slightly tinged with a personal feeling toward both O’Brien and Kirlin, which some- what lessened its force. At the same time there was evidence to the effect that bad work had been done under Lucas himself. All of the testimony so far, again excepting that of Clark, which bad practically no , has been very damaging to the reputation of In- _— O'brien. Both of the Kendalls and the two colored “packers” have given direct evidence that O’Brien. was not only aware of the bad work, but rather encouraged the men in doing it. There has also been some mention made of the fact that O’Brien was acting as a boss for the contractors as well as an inspector for the Government. Lucas, how- ever, admitted receiving pay from the con- tractors himself for overseeing the work. af TO THE MATERIALS USED but little damaging testimony has been ad- duced. The bricks in the lining are good, it was said, and as a general thing the mortar used ‘was of a good quality, although at times it con- tained too much sand, whereby it was some- what weakened. The stones —— the rick work for the purpose of packing were 0 all shapes and sizes, and there was evidently no endeavor to lay them regularly, but they seemed to have been thrown into the spaces without regard to their shapes, size, or fitness. It would seem, from the Lomgpoor that the brick masons employed were workmen and did their work well, although under O’Brien’s inspection they were pushed faster than they should have 2. it it is clear that no attempt was made to secure skilled la- borers for the packing. ANY BODY GOOD ENOUGH FOR A PACKER. Instead, the most ignorant, untrained ne- groes were picked up on the streets and put on the packing, with no knowledge of what the work was for or how it should be done. In addition, there seemed to be an almost total lack of intelligent supervision by foremen, ex- questionable. Dowsing by OBrien. “In fact the questionable i Brien. 18 court have been pisiniy told that the tunnel lining is treacherous, and that a majority of it is not fit for the pi for which it was in- tended. It is likely that they will examine a number of ‘additional witnesses in order to get at the exact state of things in Rory de of fie work, and to this end each one of the witnesses already examined has been asked to give the names of others who might be able to testify as to the character of the work. In this way long list has been formed. NO KNOWING HOW LONG THE INVESTIGATION ‘WILL Last. A Star reporter asked General Ruger, the president of the court, the other morning if he had any idea as to the length of time the in- Vestigation will take? “Oh, no,” he replied. “We cannot tell what we may have to do in the way of examining witnesses. We want to learn ive can about the work, but there will be a lot of the evidence of no value.” WHERE 18 O'BRIEN? “Would you object to telling me if you in- tend to call O’Brien to the stand?” asked the Teporter. “Do you know where he is?” quickly de- manded the general. The reporter re, that be was in the dark as to O'Brien's whereabouts, as were a great many other people. It was from the eneral’s manner that he not it to owing where Mr. O’Brien can be by asubpena. Of course there are lations in the air at the De at as to the — findings of the court, but there have en no indications to throw any this subject. This tribunal has no over civilians, and as such is not competent fasten the blame for the bad work in the tunnel upon anyone but the Army officers con- nected with the work, except for the — of relieving the latter from responsibi ty. majority of those who have the matter argue that the court has now only to deal with the ethical question of HOW FAR MAJOR LYDECKER AND LIEUT. TOWNSEND ABE RESPONSIBLE and to blame for the criminally careless super- vision and inspection of their agents in the tun- nel. A great many opinions point to the prin- ciple in law that a master is alwa’ hep yoy for the ante of his carvan, poy ti 1e con- clusion that the engineer officers should be held accountable for the bad work done under the direction of their subordinates. If the court should adopt this line of reasoning, all that will be left for it to do will be to order a court- martial. Its only other course is to absolve the officers from all blame, and declare that all re- ——_ rests upon the other employes of ¢ Government, or upon the contractors. In the latter case no further steps can be taken by pe haps one of the most shown by last week's testimony is that the chief in- ——, Kirlin, was by some means aware of the approach of Lieutenant Townsend when- ever that officer took it into his head to the tunnel for the pur, of personally in- specting the work. By this means word was ays passed quickly down the tunnel, and by the time that the lieutenant arrived there would be solid walls in the course of construction on every hand. It does not apy » however, that this thing happened very often. ——<———— She Shot a Bear. From the Marion County (Cal.) Toesin.

Special Correspondence of Tak Eventne Star. Pants, October 20, 1883. The large sketch of the Lafayette monument which Messrs, Falguidre and Mercier are making for the United States Government, to be erected in Washington, is in such astate of advance- ment that a very complete idea can be obtained of its general character. The impression that it gives at first view is the correct one, and a careful study of its composition continually confirms this impression. It isa large, hand- some, human structure, conceived and exe- cuted with patrioticart. Men like Falgui¢re and Mercier naturally work for the fame of their | country more than for anything else. Truly | said, they work for that alone. The peculiar | | circumstances that surround them in this un- | dertaking have increased, if such a thing is | possible, this sense of art glory. They are | making a monument in honor of their own | countrymen; to men who carried their patriot- | ism into a far-off land, and in favor of a suffer- | ing cause, Lafayette and his compatriots in | America is a fact of historic pride to every liberty-loving Frenchman. And now that the great republic proposes to show its gratitude for their services it becomes an added inspira- | tion for these sculptors to continue in America the fame they have already helped to give to | their own country. Rarely have such circum- stances been combined in such an enterprise. Falguidre and Mercier feel the occasion, and | | are working to make their undertaking equal | toit.. The general mass and line of the monument is imposing, harmonio: | figures are in most excellent proportion with | the pedestal. Neither dominates the other. ‘The pedestal is very simple. thus affording a proper contrast with the figures. The whole monument is concentrated, in large and varied | planes, It is very human in general design as | well as in detail. DE GRASSE AND D'ESTAING stand side by side, on the right side of, and close up to the die of the pedestal, and instead of appearing like two inanimate images, are ee in conversation just as ee they had some interest in the events of which they were a part. ROCHAMBEAU AND HIS COMPANION are on the epposite side, and are even more animated than their brother officers, for they seem to be in the act of starting off, hand in hand, to offer their services to the colonies. What a contrast are these living statues to the brazen objects that serve like purposes on 80 many American monuments, THE STATUE OF LAFAYETTE surmounts the monument. It represents him as coming to join in the scheme of independ- ence. His right arm is extended toward the observer, while his left, well out from his body, supports his cloak, which falls to the ground after winding around his figure to his right leg. The left hand rests upon the hilt of his sword, the point of which reaches to the ground. The statue is an original and very leasing composition. It will be about ten [aren a halt high, The other figures will be about nine feet nine inches high. In front of the pedestal, close to it and sitting upon its base, isa fine female figure, turning toward Lafayette and offering to him in her up- stretched hand a sword. It is intended to rep- resent THE GENIUS OF GRATITUDE, who gives the patriot the sword of honor in recognition of his services to the colonies. This is partly nude, is a beautiful composition of itself, goes finely with the rest of the structure, and presents an extremely artistic contrast with the figures on each side. A large decorated shield covers the front sur- face of the die. On the rear side of the monument, and also close up to the face of the die, are two nude infante clasping hands, as though curiously ex- amining the letters on the richly ornamented shield which covers the entire side of the die. It was the first intention of the sculptors to make all the figures in bronze and the architec- tural part in marble; but, after a great deal of study, they have concluded that the bronze will make too great a contrast with the marble, and injure the effect of the pedestal; in fact, almost destroy it. They have, therefore, asked the Secretary of War to permit them to make the whole thing in marble, and thus produce a unity of effect, as well of material, From an int of view the sculptors have certainly reached a wise conclusion. Besides making a fine monument, no doubt the most artistic one in the United States, if they can only set an example against the horrid practice of mixing colors that never can go well together, they will perform a great service for teste in acountry where such an ex- ample is greatly needed. It is to be hoped that the Secre will permit the artists to carry out the it of their study. The whole structure will stand about 83 feet th. There area great many details in the work that show that its authors are full of pride and ardor, and very appreciative of the import- ant circumstances that surround them. Masses as well as details go well together. The monu- ment will cores, mark the beginning of a epoch in monumental art in the United Let us all hope that it may continue. T. H.

Eddy, who has recently dug up, an iron kettle full of old Spanish silver coins on the beach adjoining his farm, near Provi- dence, R. L, denies that his grandfather ever had anything to do with pirates, or that his father ever told him of the buried treasure, He said that two years ago he became the possessor of a piece of shment that ay rently had served as a drum-head, and which had been converted into a chart n et purporting to describe the location of three lots of buried gold, silver and other valuables cached by a pirate many years ago. The lines were drawn as though with a ae stick, On the chart were three points ignating the burial places of the weal! The starting place was a rock on Horse Neck Point, a id piece of land. When this parchment was found Eddy was confident it was a valuable document. He de- termined that no one should know of his plans, and, without imparting a hint of what he was about, he began operations. He readily found the rock, but his labors during the summer of 1887 were not rewarded. During the past sum- mer he continued them, He proceeded cau- tiously and patiently and worked his way in the course directed, and last Monday made the dis- covery. He declares that it will be an easy matter to find the rest of the wealth. One of the two undiscovered treasures is stated in the chart to be gold coin and the other diamonds or jewelry.

Although there have been reports that bull fighting in Spain showed a'tendency of declin- ing, the facts are that more new rings have been built and more plazas repaired during the last twelve years than in the preceding twenty.

Apropos of the story of Mrs. Wetmore’s re- to meet the prince under the terms of the invitation extended to her, a well-known s0- ciety woman writes from London: ‘The Prince of Wales has been inthe habit of treating American women outrageously. I don’t mean that his demeanor toward them is otherwise than gallant, or that he offers to them any per- sonal insult—further than that conveyed in his assumption that he can make their acquaint- ance at will, and that they ought to be glad to be brought to him upon ‘the slightest intima- tion that he would like it. The bad point is that he draws a distinction between Americans and ladies of the Old World. If he sees by chance a pretty Yankee woman at the theater, in the park, anywhere, and he happens to de- sire an bey eerie he sends one of his min- ions or a friend without any circumlocution to let her know that he will make her acquaint- ance.

ADDITIONAL CURIOUS WAGERS PLACED ON THE RESULT OF TO-MORROW’S ELECTION, A newspaper man in Boston and a candidate for aldermanic honors in that city were dis- cussing politics the other day. The reporter finally said: “I feel so sure that Harrison is to be elected that I will bet my moustache on the result.” “Tl take that bet. Cleveland is my man,” said the politician, The Cleveland man remarked as he walked — that with him an engagement depended on the result of the election. To cut off his moustache he was afraid would cause his best girl to cut him.

If Cleveland is elected he will be entertained free of charge.

It tells them that “there is but one republican electoral ticket in the field.” In referring to the withdrawal of its electors in certain districts in favor of those of Mahone, it says that “they were recklessly determined upon a pe rule or ruin, that the only ice of republican unity was by our yielding to them in this contest and leaving them no excuse for frittering away the electoral vote of this state.” It says the people may be assured that the time for the redress of grievances is near at hand.

I think they have shown much more ability than they have been given credit for. The woman's congress in Washington and the recent woman's convention in this city indicate the progress that they are making. In civil-service examinations they have made splendid records, and hold their own with the men without difficulty.” “Are there as many women employed in the Depeinente t Washington as f ly?” = think not iahupep looney ge =p SE the currency. won ability to count jury notes rapidly that women showed — them such an advantage over men that a ‘g@ number were employed for this work.
