Corcoran was the object which called together a number of the more promi- nént citizens of Washington last night. The meeting was held at the Atiantic Building, in response to a call signed by Geo, Bancroft, A. T. Britton, W. H. Clagett, Lewis J. Davis, Jas. E. Fitch, M. W. Galt, E. M. Gallaudet, Isham G.

W. Thompson, W. 8. Thompson, Lucius Tuckerman, T. E. Wagga- man, W. B. Webb, Brainard H. Warner, H. A. Willard, Jas, C. Welling, B. H. Warder and Nathaniel Wilson. There was a good deal of informal discussion over the matter before the meetiug was called to order by ex-Secretary McCulloch. The call was read by Mr. Calderon Cerlisle, and then that gentleman eulogized the character of the man whom they had come together to honor. There ‘was no real necessity, he sakl, for a monument to Mr. Corcoran: the city was filled with living monuments, and yet itvelf that it have some piace where his mem- ory and good deeds should be enshrined. e character of the memorial was discussed, and the Hon. Horatio King and Judge Ed- monds stated a number of reasons why a pub- lic library would be more appropriate than a statue. ey were in the minority, however, and when the debate closed the following reso- lutions were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that measures should be taken op pind a statue, to be erected in the city of Washington, commemorative of our late honored and be- loved townsman, Wm. W. Corcoran. Resoived, That we hereby constitute ourselves the Corcoran Monument Association, and that all personscontributing $1 or more to tke funds to be collected for this object shall by that act ome members of the association. Resolved, That the permanent ofticors of the association shall consist of a president, two vice- presidents, a secretary and a treasurer. solved, That a board of management, to consist of twenty-five members, of which board the permanent officers of the association shall be ex-officio members, shall be appointed by the president of the association, and that the said board is hereby instructed to provide for the incorporation of the association under the laws of the District of Columbia, and is further clothed with Pers. to appoint all sub-commit- tees, to fill all vacancies which may occur in its own number, and generally take all meas- ures judged to be necessary and proper for the purpose of carrying out the object of the asso- ciation. A permanent orgatlization was at once agreed upon, and the following officers were elected; President, the Hon, Hugh McCulloch; vice- residents, George W. Childs, esq.; A. T. itton, esq.; secretary, R. Ross Perry, esq.; treasurer, E. Francis Riggs, esq.; board of managers, the Hon. Justin $8. Morrill, the Hon, §. 8. Cox. Alexander Graham Bell, James L. Barbour, M.

Thompson, W. 8. Thompson, B. H. Warder, Henry A. Willard. After the organization is permanently per- fected, by incorporation or otherwise, several sub-committees must of course be created, b; which the active work of the association will be carried on, Naturally there must be one on finance, one on artist or designs, and one on a location for the statue, when completed. These will probably not be selected until there is a specific duty to be performed within their pat: ticular fonctions, and they doubtless will be made up of gentlemen spécially fitted for the particular service to be performed in each case, The Fund for the Relief of the Poor. THE HEALTH OFFICER THINKS HIS DEPARTMENT COULD WISELY EXPEND A PORTION OF IT. Health Officer Townshend, in a letter to the Commissioners asks that a small portion of the fund for the relief of the poor be placed at the disposal of the health department for use outside the compensation of physicians and purchase of medicine. He says that there is probably no class of employes under the District govern- ment afforded such a good opportunity for as- certaining the needs, in urgent cases, as the physicians to the poor and the sanitary inspec- tors, The labor of these officers taking them within the houses of the indigent classes, they are enabled to judge as to pecuniary con- ditions and are frequently the witnesses of want where prompt relief should be afforded. He says that he thinks a small portion of the fund now distributed by the police department could be judiciously expended through this channel. In conclusion he says that he is con- templating in this request only the relief of persons where the demand therefor is urgent and the delay of reference and multiplied ex- amination might couse further suffering. There is about $900 on hand for food and lodg- ing to indigent persons. piece The Death Record.

Jones containing £97.50, on January 23d last. Mrs, Jones testi. fied that Alicé had been in her employ, bi failing to report about the time the bank was missing. she was suspected and arrested and said that the bank was taken by Fanny Butcher, asmall colored girl. Officer Hogan testified that when Alice was arrested she stated that she knew where the money was and took him toa house where Fanny Jobnson, a colored git. gave’ up the money, saying first that fanny Butcher gave it to her, but afterward she said she wouldn't tell a lie and that she ‘ashington owed it to | committee appointed to investigate the methods followed by the District Commis- sioners in the purchase of school sites and other property is as as follows: “The committee respectively report that they have considered the evidence submitted upon such investigation, and which is hereto an- nexed, and from the facts established find and report the following conclusions: “The Cotumistioners of the District of Colum- bia in the exercise of their official duties have been charged with the duty of acquiring the title to certain real estate for school sites and other public uses in the city of Washington. In the absence of any expressed authority of law to employ an agent in the purchasing of such sites, or to institute any proceedings for the condemnation of lands desired for public uses, they. in their discretion, req dir. Jno. F. Cox, an attorney and real estate agent, to assist in the procuring and purchasing of certain sites for such uses; that they stated to Mr. Cox that they were not authorized to accord any com- pensation, but that he must look to the persons from whom the purchases might be made for payment of any and all fees, commis- sions or compensations; ‘that certain purchases were made by the District wherein said Cox acted mainly in the iuterest of the grantors to the District and received certain fees and commissions as a real estate agent or attorney aggregating about $3,000 upon purchases of real estate aggregating in cost upward of $75,000; that it appears from the testimony of all the witnesses, and there is no evidence to the contrary, that the several parcels of real estate purchased by or for the Commissioners for the use of the District of Columbia were urchased at reasonable and fair prices; that in no instance was any exorbitant or unreason- able price paid by the Commissioners of the trict for school or other sites. In our opin- ion the Commissioners are entitled to full ex- oneration from any charge or imputation of wrong. “The methods employed by the Commission- ers are, it is true, susceptible of abuse. It is in- deed a question whether any method that may be presented by law may not be subject to abuse. The pending legislation pertaining to the purchase of sites contemplates a provision authorizing the District Commissioners to em- ploy an agent in such cases, and further con- ‘erring authority upon them to institute pro- ceedings in the courts of the District through which lands required for public uses may be acquired by condemnation and appraisal. There is no doubt in the minds of the undersigned that under either of the methods last men- tioned the cost of the lands and sites acquired, as shown by the testimony, would have been much greater than it was under the method practiced by the Commissioners. “We feel it due, in conclusion, to state that there were but two questions raised by the in- vestigation: First, was any wrong or fraud per- petrated upon the public in the several pur- chases in question or in any of them: second, were the Commissioners or either of them guilty of any disposition to co-operate in any way in the acquisition of said sites or any of them at prices above their real value. of these quer the negative.’ To each ons We unhesitatingly answer in ALEXANDRIA. OnoantaTION oF THE Board or TRapE.—The third meeting to further the organization of the board of trade was held at the chamber of the common council last night. Mr. J.J. Jamieson presided and Mr. W.

CELEBRATION oY THE KyiGuts oF PyTatas.— The Knights of Pythias of Alexandria cele- brated this afternoon the twenty-fifth anni- versary of the order and welcomed to this city the members of the Grand Lodge of Virginia.

AN OHIO MAN WHO PLAYED AT HANGING TO FRIGHTED A WOMAN. Howard Chaffin, of New Holland, Ohio, whose domestic relations are not the pleasantest, at- tempted to frighten his wife by sending her the following note: “When you get this you will be a widow. You will find my body in the stable.” Mrs, Chaffin received this startling news with consid- erable nonchalance, and. it is alleged, got out her husband’s best clothes and 1 brush them for the funeral. daughter to the stable, who returned, saying he was not dead, but looked ‘awful bad. Hastening to the stable, Mrs. Chaffin found her husband suspended from the rafter. In her efforts to release him she discovered that he had passed the cord under his arm, and that there was not the slightest ji from strangulation. Securit labored Mn.

He was A CAPTAIN IN The PIereeNTH INFANTRY at the time of his dismissal, but the act which was finally made a law last year did not specify that he should return to his old command, sim widing for his restoration. It did Sak aveoms acoks th sannhenery upon the President to restore him, but merely gave him the authority to doso. This course has been | foliowed in a number of similar cases, result- ing in long delays and sometimes in absolute neglect tocarry out the provisions of the legisia- tion. The delay in Hedberg’s case, itis supposed, has been due to a desire on the t of the President, and also of Hedberg himself. to wait until a vacancy occurred in the fifteenth, when the oficer id be restored to his former com- mand. Such a course would undoubtedly be more just to Hedberg and to the officers of the line, for, if he were put into any other regi- ment, the officers there would be made to suf- fer the loss of a promotion without any just cause, and the map himself would be placed in an uncomfortable position. Inasmuch as the offi- cers of the fifteenth once enjoyed a promotion at Hedberg’s expense it is but right that they should, now that he is to be restored, suffer an ———_ retardation rather than the officers of any other regiment, HIS WIFE A TIRELESS WORKER IN Is RERALF. Capt. Hedberg has been for some time a clerk in the United States pension office in this city. His wife has been a tireless worker in his behalf, and has used her best endeavors to the end that her husband might be restored to his rank. She managed to secure the passage of a bill through both houses to that effect at the session of Congress before the last, but it Was among the last acts of the dying Congress, and did not reach the President in time to be considered and signed. Of course it does not necessarily follow that this vacancy will surely result in Hedberg’s nomination asa captain in the fifteenth infan- try, but it simply gives the President his first opportunity to carry out the provisions of the act.

That Mr. Marsh will comply with the command if left alone none of his friends doubt fora moment. An effort will be made, however, to keep the two apart. and it is not improbable that the spook medium will be ar- | rested for vagraney under the old Massacha- setts witchcraft laws. Mr. William F.
