A dispatch from New York says that Chief A.
L. Drummond arrested in Brooklyn last evening
Daniel Carrigan, the ex-chief clerk of the
bureau of medicine and surgery, Navy depart*
ment, who has been indicted with E. C. Kirkwood
and various merchants and contractors
tor committing alleged frauds on the bureau.
Carrigan disappeared from the city about the
time the indictments were found last summer.
He was tracked to Dakota, back to Baltimore,
to Chicago and .-it. Louis, and finally to Brooklyn.
Chief Drnmmond's men have been for
two months watching several points in New
York. Brooklvn and New Jersey. The ex-chief
clerk had grown a full beard, and wu so
changed in apr>earance that an old friend would
scarcely rec?n;nize him. In Brooklyn, it Is
stated, he lived in the house of a relative. He
rarely left it. and when he did go out it was
only for a short distance. Yesterday the officers
spotted their man at the corner of 14th street
and Third avenue, south Brooklyn. He was
taken before United States Commissioner
Benedict, and thence, In default of ball, to
Raymond street jail.
The Same Old Cold Wave.
it still lingk.rs "with us and wtll be
around as usual to-night and to-morrow.
"How did it happen*" asked a Star reporter
at the signal office to-day, speaking of
this morning's unexpected cold weather.
"It simply grew a little colder as an eflfect of
the cold wave which has been settling over
nearly the whole country since the snow
storm,*' was the reply. "The mercury dropped ,
to ten degrees above this morning?a lall of
only four degrees from yesterday morning.
You see, that immense cold wave still lingers.
From Pennsylvania to the Missouri valleyTt is
below zero. In the southern Missouri and ceo*
tral Mississippi valleys the temperature has fa|,
len in the past twenty-four hours, but the thermometer
was down to zero before it fell. In the
northern Missouri valley, on the other hand,
the temperature has riSfcn, but It is still from
lo to 20 degrees below zero at some points. In
New York the mercury was stationery last
: nlsht. This all goes to show that the changes
either way have been comparatively slight,
and that the cold wave still lingers."
"And n<.w'' said the reporter, "what kind ot
weather will we have for the celebration of the
dedication of the monument to-morrow?"
"As near as I can figure it, to-morrow will be
very similar to to-day. It will be cold and fair.
It will grow a little colder to-night than it was
last night, and will moderate during the day,
but not much."

The Ice on the river was six Inches thick this
morning. Yesterday about 5:30 p. m. two tugboats?the

through the lee from the Lower river with three
oyster boats, sloop Fannie A. NVilcox, Capt.
Sharp; schooner 13. F. Marsh, Eskrtdge, and
Annie Gibson, Capt. Kelly. They report the

Halter Scott Day in the Public Schools.
| To-day was "Walter Scott" day in the public
| schools. In every school literary and musical
I exercises were held, the essays and recitations
all having reference t? Scott and his works. The
programs were varied and interesting, each
teacher arranging the exercises in her own
school. Parents and friends of the children
! visited the schools during the day and listened
to the exercises.
The Kail road Disaster.
To thp Kditor of tim evening Stab:
The peculiar way that business is conducted
by t lie B. and P. railroad company is shown by
the accident last night on their road and by the
manner they treat their patrons. The writer
happened to be one of the many persons awaiting
the arrival of the Richmond express, and
was informed by the officials at the depot it
was one hour late. After patiently staying this
time out further ia<{u*ry,was made, but the raili
road employes would give no satisfaction concerning
the matter. It was not until 1 o'clock
sum. that the collision was learned of, and then
; it w is too late to tu'&e conveyance to the scene
of'disaster. Meanwhile the Richmond express,
instead of stopping at Alexandria, so passengers
j could get conveniences for the night there, ran
' within a few yards of the collision. The conductor,
at the name time, told everybody to
keep their seats, as they would be in Washington
in ten minutes. But instead of this they
were compelled to remain iu t^ie cars, without
liny tire, until 7 o'clock this morning. There
were two ladies with a small baby, and many
others with such miserable accommodations
that a peanut vender might be ashamed of.

the supervision of Mrs. 11. Main, are taken cure
of by the third subdivision, besides a number
of very old men and women who are entirely

brought to the knowledge of the visitors several
new cases who are not asking charity, yet require
a helping hand until they can find employment.
There is more than usual sickness
in the subdivision. At a recent meeting of the
board of directors it was decided to send a class
of young women to the cooking sehool; also to
furnish material to others anxious to work
rather than receive alms, who receive fair compensation
for the garments made up. These are
given to the sick uud helpless. Tne third subdivision
has received liberal donations, but
there are many in the subdivision who have
not yet contributedof their abundance. Clothing,
whieh is very much needed, can be scot to the
