THE WADLEY MEMORIAL.
The First Bronze Statue of Heroic Siz
Ever Cast in One Piece.

ne T. lfSL DfOLZS Statue OF HEROIC Size
Ever Cast in One Piece.
The casting of the statue of the late
Col. William NJ. Wadley in New York on
Thursday was the first attempt ever
made to cast a bronze statue of heroic
size in one piece. The cast was after a
model made by the sculptor Robert
Gushing, who was engaged on the work
several months in this city year ago in
the directors room at the Central Rail-
road Bank.
The model was turned over to the
Henry BOnnard Bronze Company in New
York early in the winter, and the
work of preparing the mould for cast
ing the statue was at once begun.
1t was attended with much difficulty,
owing to the nature of the model. The
difficulty to overcome in casting such a
figure are the curves in the arms and the
folds of clothing and drapery, and is so
great that the attempt had never before
been made. The casting was wit.
messed with a great deal of interest
and anxiety. Among those present,
says the New York Sun, were
j. Q. A. Ward, James F. DrUmmond,
Robert Cushing. the author of the model,
and DR.. Kingsley. The guests crowded
around the big iron flask that held the
mould, while the brawny French work
men filled huge crucible with nearly
two tons of the liquid bronze, and, raising
it above the flask, poured the metal
through wreaths of green and yellow
flames and steamy smoke into the chan
nels prepared for it. In half a minute
the workmen set up noisy cheer, and
the spectators applauded the successful
result of new departure in bronze work &.
The statue will be taken through Savan-
nah to Macon as soon as 1t is complete,
and will be erected about May !. 1t will
be a worthy tribute by the employees of
the Central Railroad to the memory OF the
lamented President. The Wadley Me-
mortal Association has worked actively
and energetically to secure the statue and
its completion Will be awaited with deep
interest.

Wan LEE IN COURT.
A Chinese Laundry Bill Goes Begging
for an InterDreter.

document was filed for judicial con.
structiOn in case on trial before Justice
Waring Russell, Jr., yesterday that is not
described in any law book known to the
judiciary Of Georgia, and one but for the
timely interposition of an almon-eyed
follower of COnfucius would have been
pigeOn-hOled as an unfathomable mystery
until the end of time
1t appears that a negro named Tony
Williams left some shirts, collars, cuffs
and other articles of clothing at Wah
Lees laundry on DraytOn street to be
washed, and received a ticket from the
Celestial proprietor made out in Chinese
characters such as have prevailed in the
Celestial empire from time immemoriaI,
Williams afterwards presented his ticket
and asked for ais clothes, and was informed
that they had been given out to a
negro who represented that he had
been sent after them. and that
Williams did not send his ticket because
he had lost il. Wah Lee said that he gave
the negro the clothes because be had a
ticket for clothes he had washed for an
other man, and said he was Williams
cousin. lie thought that as Williams had
trusted linn With his clothes he could do
the same. He was unable to give the ne
gro's name, and he had since been unable
to find him. Williams denied that he ever
sent anyone for his clothes, and insisted
that they should be produced at once.
Wah Lee being unable to produce them.
he went before Justice Russell and sued
but writ of possession.
The case came up for trial yester-
day. Williams produced his ticket
to prove that he had delivered the clothes
to Wah Lee, and at this point the tug Of
war with the hierOglyphIcs' commenced
with the court, did the ticket describe
the clothes mentioned in the warrant. or
what did 1t describe?' was a question
that for time looked as though it would
90 begging long ways for an answer. 1t
was admissible in evidence If it described
the articles sued for and was in the hand
writing of Wah Lee. 1t consisted of a lot
of angular, triang ular and rectangular
characters strung out on a slip OF rice
paper, but whether it was a receipt for
clothes or an order for dynamite was
something that no Mclean fellow could
find out. The court eyed it critically, and
appeared to think it might have some
connection with shirts. Constable Wealth
erhOrn and several spectators examined
it and gave it up, and it would have
terry if Chu Chung, a well-knOwn China
man, who was an interested spectator of
the proceedings, had not come to the res
cue and interpreted the paper. 1t proved
to be the right document, and judgment
was about to be entered in the case in
favor Of Williams when a compromise
was proposed, and Wah Lee settled the
case by paying for the clothes.

Him at the Scre ven House.
Since the announcement was made
week ago, finally settling the date Of eX
Gov. st. Johns visit to Sayan1an the
different temperance organizations o. the
city have been actively at work to secuFe
him the largest possible hearing. Four
of the leading societies have regularly
appointed committees, viz: st. John the
Baptist T. A. and B. Society, Savannah
Lodge Of Good Templars, Stonewall
Division of the Sons of Temperance and
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. These committees met on Fri
day evening at the residence of
Rev. Richard Webb, No. 156 South Broad
street, and perfected all the details for
the Governors reception and address on
March %. 1t has been arranged to hold
an informal reception in the parlOrs of
the Screven House, where he will be the
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. W. c. jackson.
This reception Will give the temperance
people of this city an opportunity to shake
hands with the man who has led the most
remarkable campaign in American his
tory. BY the power OF Oratory aud pure
life ii is claimed by the prohibition peO-
pie that he has made such an impression
upon the politics of the country as Will
in future secure national campaigns
against the uemOranZinS personalities
and ''mud-slingings" which so charac-
terized and disgraced the last one. No
matter what may be the fate of the Pro-
hibition party, ex-GOv. st. John will
be a central figure of this epoch.
Though differing with him as
many do among temperance people
regarding the policy of Prohibition,
all ascrite to him purity of purpose and
honesty In his adherence to the principles
of his party. he speaks at Atlanta On
March 20, and at Augusta on March 81,
arriving in Savannah on the morning of
March %. There appears to be a very
general desire to hear him among all
classes of citizens, and there is no doubt
that he will have a very large audience.

TIE TELFAIR HOSPITAL.
The Building Approaching COmpletloI
Making up the Medical STAFF.

The Building Approaching Completion
Making up the Medical staff.
The building known as the Telfair Hos
pital for Females, in course of erection by
the executors of the late Miss Mary Tel
fair, at the corner of New Houston and
Drayton streets, is rapidly approaching
completion. The appearance of the build
ing, whether viewed from the front or
the rear, impresses even the most
casual observer with the architec-
tural harmony of its outlines, and
with the beauty of the contrasting
colors of the materials that have been en-
ployed in its construction. At a distance
the structure is apparently four stories in
height, with an exterior finish of Phila-
delphia pressed brick, built in what is
termed the Renaissance style. In reality
it is three stories in height, with an attic
IN the centre, 13 feet in height in the clear,
above the floor. The exterior appearance
bears a close inspection.
The generally red-looking walls, as seen
from distance, are relieved by Georgia
granite and limestone trimmings, and
lofty porticO at the main entrance, by bal
comics off the third story at tie front, and
by spacious piaZZas off the second and
third stories at the rear. The ceilings f
the apartments IN every story are high and
the corridors which intersect at the centre
on each floor are lofty and spacious. The
plastering in all the rooms is finished,
and yesterday the plumbers, jOiners and
painters were busy in putting the finish
ing touches to the work. A News
reporter was informed by the
contractor that the structure would
hardly be ready to be turned over to the
executors under a month, as the work on
the pOrtico at the front has not been fin
ished, and there is some work of minor
Importance to be done here and there over
the entire building, which, though mat
tiers of detail, require time each in their
order to complete.
At the request of the executors num-
Der of the ladies comprising the board of
managers met during last week, and in
an informal way discussed the question as
to how the structure should be furnished.
The executors, under the terms of the
Will, are TO turn the building over to
the managers furnished, hence they
wished to obtain their views upon the
subject before making selections or in-
curing what might prove to be need
less expense.
Although the medical staff has not yet
been authoritatively announced, 1t is I'M
derstood that DR.. James p. S. HOustOun
has been offered and will accept the
superintendency. The board OF consult
Ing physicians and surgeons has not been
determined upon. The names of Drs. j.
b. Read. T. j. Charlton, John d. Martin,
and L. B. Harris have been mentioned, but
have not been officially announced. A
meeting of the managers will be held at
an early day to perfect the organization
of the board, when these matters will be
finally determined, preparatory to the
formal opening of the hospital about
