WILL COME AT LAST

(iltANT .MONIMENT.
General I'orter Spi-aks Words of
I'rai.se for the Head Hero Very
ImpreRHive Ceremonies.
New Yokk, April 27 Amidst
the plaudits of thousands of citi
zens, blare ol trumpets, beatins;
drums, booming of cannons, mel
ody of children's voices, and the
eloquence of orators, ground was
broken to-day fcr the monument
which is to be at the tomb at
Riverside Park, where rests all
that is mortal of General Grant.
The Marine band played an
overture, after which Hev. Dr.
Clark Wright, chaplain of the de
partment, ol Commander Free
man's stall", offered a prayer and
the chorus sang the "Star
Spangled Banner." Commander
r reeman presided. I le introduced
General Horace Porter, orator of
the day.
General Porter said in part:
Sixty-nine years ago to-day there
issued into I lie world a being who
was destined to stand prominent
in the history of his country, and
whose fame was to reach into the
uttermost parts of the earth.
The most conspicuous figures in
history have risen to prominence
by gradual advances, but Ulysses
Grant came belore the people
with a midden bound. Almost
the first sight caught of him was
in the blaze of ins camp urea and
the flashes of his guns tliose win
try days and nights in front of
Donaldson. From the linal
sheathing of the sword to his
ashes laid to rest in yonder tomb,
he was the chief citizen of the re
public and the great central
tiguro of the woild."'
The orator said that one word
w hich more characterized General
Grant than any other was his loy
alty to his country, to his friends
and to his God. For this reason
chiefly men were loyal to him.
He was created for great emergen
cies. In ordinary matters he was
an ordinary man, in momentous
affairs he towered as a giant.
The speaker closed by saying:
No efforts of man's hands can add
a single laurel to his brow, all
honors eaith can give have been
bestowed upon him. The people
wdioni he served have resolved to
fashion a tomb worthy of hia
ashes and rear in a monument of
rock a fitting tribute to his fame."
The chorus sang "America,"
when Comirander Freeman arise
to initiate the particular ceremony
of the day, breaking of ground for
the monument. The Fpade he
used was a fine specimen of Amer
ican handicraft, hearing an ins -rip-rion
giving the chief events of
General Grant's career. Before
turning up the sod, Commander
Freeman said :
"We gather to day not simply
as representatives of hundreds of
thousands of the living and dead
whom he led to victory, but of the
entire nation, the men who wore
the gray as well as the men who
wore the blue. Now, in the pre
sence of Almighty God. and these
witnesses, we, the representatives
of the Grand Army of the Repub
lic, break the sod preparatory to
laying the foundation of a monu
ment which shall stand as a alight
expression of the !ove of this nation
for its great chieftaiu and shall
tell all the world that the United
States of America does not forget
its heroic dead."
At the close of his remarks.
Commandar F'reeinan took the
spade in his hands and with it
tossed up the eartn. This ended
tie ceremonies and the crowd
went to thvir homes.
THE WAGES OF SIN.
A Burglar Shot Dead While at
His Work.
TH EKE IS A MOKAI. ATTACHED
He Was Too Blow In Making Hia Escape
and the Result Was He Will St al
No More.
Portland, April 27. About 5 :!"
o clock this morning, an unknown
burglar was shot and killed bv A
B. Strowbridge in the latter's
place oi business. . .
from i ne story loiu by young
stoworidge, who elceps in a room
on a sort of gallery in the rear of
the store, it appears that shortly
before o o'clock this morning he
was awakened by the sound of
breaking glass, lie procured a
shotgun and proceeded to investi
gate. Upon reaching the door at
the head of the stairw ay leading to
his room, which is about lifty-tive
feet distant from the front door of
the establishment, he jerceived
two men carrying away small
pieces of glass from the broken
pane in the door.
When they had made an aper
ture large enough to admit the
body of a man, one of they enter
ed the store while his companion
took up his position on the side
walk. Strowbridge, from hi? position
at the head of the stairway, could
clear'v discern the ligure of the
man as he entered. He opened
one or two show cases, and was
carefully examining their conten's
wilt n vtr j bralge !cc d ! to move
a little in order to secure a be t-r
view of the intruder.
Just as he started to cio.-s the
platform as cautiously as possible,
the fl.ror creaked slightly and at
tracted the attention of the burg
lar. He looked in the direction
from whence the sound came, and,
catching a glimpie of Strowbridge
or guessing that all was not right,
made for the door. At the same
same instant the young man cock
ed his gun.
Itie burglar by this tune had
reached the door, and was evi
dently about to beat a retreat
through tae broken pane, when he
paused for an nnta'it.an.l w heeled
around to ascertain the cause of
the interrunt'on. S row bridge.
thinking perhaps t he man intended
hi iiu; a shot, It veled Ins gun and
. ischarged one of the barrels. The
burglar dropped instantly to fie
floor on the north sid.-j of the door
and made no further motion. The
shot had undoubtedly killed him
instantly.
Latkr The deceased was
identitied as William Hayes, who
recently came here from the Fast.
The coroner's jury this evenint;
returned a verdict of justifiable
homicide, and Strowbridge wa
leleased.
