The Capstone of ike Washington Mon nment Laid and the "Work ot Many Years Fin ished. "Washington. Dec. 6 The Jong ex pected completion o-the Washington monument was accomplished this afternoon by setting in place the marble capstone and its pyramidal apex ot aluminium, xne ceremumw were few and simple, an elaborate celebration of the event being re served for Washington's bif th day. ahnrtiir-ftftflr a o'clock Col. Thomas L. Casey, government engineer in charge, and his assistants Captain Davisv U. S. A., and Bernard B. Green, civil engineer, together with master mechanic, mcjuiuguuu u several workmen standing on a nar row platform built around the sloping marble room near the summit pro ceeded to set the capstone, (weighing 8,300 pounds) which was suspended from the quadruped of a heavy joint supported by a piatform and tower--ing forty ieet above them. As Boon as the capstone was set and the Amer ican flag was untuned overucau a salute of 21 guns was promptly fired by Mai. Ilannemans, malitia battery in White House grounds .far below. The sound of cheers also came up faintly from the crowd of spectators gathered around the base of the mon . i inntfnii nmflnc. wnue numuvre ui. ui.vovi guests on the 500 foot platform and in the interior 01 tne rauuuuieun at w level spontaneously fctruck up "Star Spangled Banner" and other patriot- ie songs. The steady downpour of rain had eiven nlace a little previous ly to a onsK gate or. wina ai mis -j"- vation (blowing at about BO miles an hour) and very few of the invited guests' cared to avail themselves of the privilege of climbing the nearly perpendicular, ladder from the 500 foot platform to the dizzy beight of 533 feet from which three or four journalists' and a half dozen other ad venturous climbers witnessed the setting of the capstone and subse quently ascended to the pinnacle. Meanwhile the "Washington Monu ment Societv reDresented by Dr. Jos M. Toner, Hon. Horatio King, Gen. Wm. McKee Dunn, Dr. Daniel B Clark and T. L. Harvey, secretary held a meeting on the elevator plat form at the height of -500" feet, and when the artillery -firing announced the setting of the capstone adopted a resolution offered by Gen. Dunn, "congratulating the American people on the completion of this enduring monument of our nation's gratitud e to the father of his country." - y Among those present today at the completion of the structare was one of the master mechanics who laid the corner . stone of the monument 36 years ago, and aa old watchman of the monument who has been contin- uously employed in that capacity" during nearly the whole of the inter vening period.- The flag over the monument floated (and will remain for several days until the timbers are all removed) from a flag staff, the top of which is exactly 600 feet from the ground, thus displaying the American colors at the greatest height of construction ever yet known in the world. The monument itself, with its total height of 550 feet, far overtops every other structure of human hands. The aluminium apex of the monu ment is engraved with an inscription as follows on one face: "Chier En gineer and architect, -Thos. Lincoln Casey, colonel corps of engineers: assistants, Geo. W. Davis, 14th U. S Infantry ; Bernard R." Green, civil . engineer ; master mechanic, fc H. Mc Laughlin." On another face: 'Corner stone laid on bed of foundation July 4,' 1848; first stone at thel height of 152 feet laid August 7, 1880; capstone set December 6, 1884.". On third side: "Joint commission at settfLg of cap stone, Chester A. Arthur, W. W. Corcoran, chairman, M. E. Bell, Ed ward Clark, John Newton; act of 1876." On the fourth face are the words "Laus Deo." - A Musical Prodiffy. . . I - fffao -iferw OrfeansTicayune says: "New Orleans,, which produced, Gottechalk, has produced a-child musician who gives promise of be coming equally famous in the artistic world. Mozart, the most precocious of great musicians, composed short pieces at 6 years of age, but there is in this city a juvenile performer-who .played the piano at 2, and now, at 4, is a prolific composer. The name of this latest musical prodigy is Alice Louise Hufft. whose fourth birthday was celebrated on Saturday last. She has played several times in public be fore some of the best musicians in the Crescent City, who have been amazed byher genius. She now plays readi ly and with accuracy more than twenty pieces, some of them very difficult: An ordinary tune Alice will play, after hearing it once, with more accuracy than a fair reader of music is able to do at sight. Her parents place no restrictions on her useof'the piano, and she will sit at the instru ment sometimes for hours, repeating pieces she lias heard or improvising airs of her own composition." - V -.i A JNegf tire Platform. , New York World.

Not bo Bad as Reported and Difference .-- likely to be Sealed Soon. z ..Bridgeport, Pa j Dec. 6. The striking hatters at South Nowalk held a large mass meeting m ' Music hall, chiefly for the purpose of laying their case before the people of the city. About 2,000 men and women were present. Speeches were made by a half dozen or more of the strip iQ in wW.h thev denounced the nroDOsed importation of laborers by frt-tA arm ninvAm in tab ft the mace o tvmannnw on a strike. They also claim that the reduction of from 10 to 33 per cent among sizers, curlers, fKimmom and Rhovers. is uniust and outrageous, on the ground that the employers are now getting the same price for hats as beforehand still fur ther, that the bosses propose to cons tinue the reduction until June, 1885. Jfhe m-mufacturers claim that the prices heretofore paid in many cases Lave been too high. They desire to . . 1 j!aAAMMui pi n ra t ho nun regulate ma uiuui euw ox r lished reduction; which they do. not deem permanent, xne strikers uv0 been offered work if they will relin quish the union, which ordered the strike, and attend to business as be fore. A large number seem willing to return to work, but the jjmon stands in their way Sheriff Schwartz has sent the following dispatch: lh& report in the morning papers in res gard to the labor riots, are greatly exaggerated. .We had some excite ment last night, but no riots. All is niiiot-.fl.f-. 12:1 K n. m.: and from the outlook, is likely to remain so. A dispatch was sent to Gov. Waller this morning saying that there was no need of military interference, ! nor had there been from the stars. 4.00 cjtizeng were law abiding and inters estea in maintaining qu.u-u, patch sent to the Governor last night waa done ja the heat of excitement it was brought about by a gang of hova followine Andrew J. Crofoob, a nat manufacturer, aoous tne sweets, and hnotinar at him. and not trom any action of the strikers jthemselvc s. The executive committee of the Hat ter's Union held a meeting this even ing at which several speeches were made, to the effect that the men had no other object in view than that of protecting their rights D. J. Hager: ton. nresident of the National Hat- tfir'a Finishinar Association, said toi an associated press reporter this morning that the present unpleasant ness was a Jock out on the part of the gropfietors. The men objected to aving their wages cut down from to 45 per cent. The. employers had ordered the men not only to accede to the proposition, but to agree to sub mit to it for a period of eight months, and contract to take no action looks ing to its disruption. In the mean time, agreeing to this would Carry the men over to June next, when the dull season usually commences, and from which time they would be idle till the busy season commences' in August, with the uncertainty of steady work at that date, under the reduction and new regulations, hence the strike. ' He was of the opinion that no serious disturbance- would occur. He thought that the differences would soon be settled." New York, Dec. 0.-The Associated Press has received the following from B. W. Maples, editor of the Nor walk, Conn., Hour, which gives the strik ers side of the trouble there: .Norwalk, Conn., Dec. 6. The sen sational articles in the morning pa pere about riots, and riotous proceed ings in South Norwalk are entirely unfounded. The hatters are quiet though determined. They say they cannot earn living wages at the prices offered by the bosses and are there fore ou a strike. Personally and by my reporters, I have cautiously, since the strike commenced, and in vestigated every prejudiced report, j and have not yet learned of one case j of intimidation or violence. The hat I ters coming from other towns are j met and' expostulated with and have ; usually returned whence they came, j seme times with money furnished to them by the hatter's committee, but ! they have not ; beenj-intimidated or! threatened One case, which I ami now having investigatedmay break this honorable record ; ? though, as -it now appears, the mischief wa.,.aot done by hatters. TWO SILLY BOSSES - Carrying Pistols Occasioned the Sensa tional Reports irom the Kinking A or walkers '' '.. New Haven, Dec. 6. A dispatch from South Norwalk to the Union, regarding last night's troubles says: "For the last few days the -proprie tors of the factories have made des perate attempts to gain new - hands, but the vigilance of the strikers had prevented them. Becoming desper i ate, Jas. H. Knapp and Wm. Palm er, the former of the firm of Crofut & Knapp, and the latter superin; tendent of the hat forming company,! appeared on the streets with revol-i vers in their hands, and threatened to shoot any of the strikers who at tempted to dissuade any of the im ported laborers from New; Jersey from going to work. , This naturally! aroused the ire of the strikers, and so very effectually, that they, in a measure, rebelled, but ' offered no! violence. It was through ' this ' that untruthfurreports of riot were start ea. xne striKers claim tnat a com T promise could have been effected but! tor the reason that "there had been an effort on the part of the bosses to destroy their organization. i The flocking Valley Mines ..
