THE SLEEPING HEROES.
How Memorial Day will be Observed In
savannah-An Appeal for Flowers.

How Memorial Day will be Observed In
savannah-An Appeal for Flowers.
To-day, April 26, is Memorial day,
sacred to the memory of the Confederate
dead. Falling. as it does, on Sunday the
Ladies' Memorial Association have ar
ranged for its observance tomorrow.
In view OF the scarcity of flowers, the
noble ladies who comprise the member
ship of the ASSOCIATION feel impressed to
ask for contributions of flowers from their
friends to assist in the decoration of the
Confederate monument and the graves in
the soldiers lot in the cemetery.
Mrs. Williamson, the noble lady who
has for many years been identified with
the association, has issued the following
announcement in regard to the day:
Memorial day Will be kept on Monday. April
q. AS there will be SO few flowers, none but
the graves OF soldiers who fell during the war
should be decorated. Memorial day" be-
longs exclusively to them. 1t has been with
pain and regret that we have seen so many
other graves decorated handsomely and
soldiers graves neglected.
1t is earnestly requested that all the stores
should be closed in the afternoon of april %.
Boxes will be placed at the gate, and the
Memorial Association will hope for the gen.
erOus contribution here 5ofore given US.
Although more than a score of years
have gone since the last soldier who died
in battle was laid to rest, yet the memory
of the brave patriots is cherished, and no
honor is too great that patriotic and
grateful people can do to the memory OF
those who died to maintain the principles
of right and to defend their native soil
against the invasion of those whom they
believed to be their enemies. Everything
was merited, but all was lost through the
suffering and trials that made martyrs OF
those who fell in the great conflict.
The banks, exchanges and city and gov
eminent offices will be closed in respect
to the day, and many houses will also
suspend business in accordance with the
wishes of the Memorial Association.
Arches wound with eVergreens have been
erected at each of the entrances to the
soldiers lot in Laurel Grove, and to-mor.
row they will be decorated with wreaths
and garlands OF flowers.

DIED BY HIS OWN HAND.
Suicide OF Capt. william F. Holland at
Bar HarbOr, Me.


Capt. William f. Holland, formerly a
well-known resident of this city, COM
mitted suicide by shooting himself Through
the head at his home in Bar Harbor, Me-,
on Tuesday. Information Of the tragedy
was received here yesterday. Capt. Hol-
land left Savannah about fifteen years
ago. He was for number of years, and up
to the time of his leaving the city, Secre-
tary of the Savannah Gas Light COmnany
BE was at one time man of Independent
means, but tickle 70 rtune wrought changes
in his life and affairs, and it is supposed
that financial embarrassment caused him
to commit the rash act which ended his life.
During the past winter he had been ailng
from complication Of diseases. and had
suffered beyond expression from nervous
ness. Some time before Christmas he left
Bar Harbor and went to Portland for
visit. Upon his return he was confined
altogether to his hotel. About six weeks
! ago he made an attempt to take his lie by
| exploding a pistol cartridge in close
proximity to his head, holding the car
fridge in his hand, and hammering on the
cap with Il knife. The ball grazed his
skull and buried itself in the ceiling of
! the room.
Prior to this some words which he had
let drop caused the hotel proprietor to
think he had suicidal intentions. and his
/ pistols had been placed out of his reach
and q strict watch kept on all his actions.
On Tuesday, after returning from a
ride, an express package was delivered
/ 10 him. He took it to his room, and
| twenty minutes afterwards the proprietor
| of the hotel heard the report OF a pistol
and a heavy fall. lie FASTENED up stairs

/ floor, MS head in pool Of blood, and the
/ brain matter Oozing from a wound. The
/ express package had contained a 3S-cal-
/ ibre Smith {, Wesson revolver, which he
sent for to Portland, ana which, not ar
/ irving Immediately, he had telegraphed
/ for, showing that the deed was deliber-
| ately planned. The revolver lay by his
side with one chamber discharged.
The affair was desperately planned and
carried out. The victim had put on his
/ spectacles, and standing before the mir
ror had deliberately placed the muzzle Of
the pistol against his head and fired. The
/ ban entered lust above the ear, and went
/ through the skull and brain. coming out

that he would kill himself, and 10 the
/ rector OF the church which he attended he
had said on one occasion that in event OF
certain things coming 10 pass he would

Capt Holland was about G. years Of
age. lie was an honorary member Of the

sunk AZ HER DOCK.


The Tug "ROysl Arch" at the Bottom Of
the Riyer-Narrow Escape of a Deck
Hand
The steam tug Royal Arch. belonging to
Messrs. J. F. Gaynor & Co., government
contractors, sunk while moored to the
dock between Drayton and Abercorn
streets on Friday night. She was leaking
somewhat when moored, but the leak was
not thought to be of much account.
1t is supposed that the topside seams
had opened, and the vessel being heavily
loaded and deep in the water the leaking
caused her to settle deeper still. when she
careened and sank. She was TO have left
at u O'Clock, and had previously been
loaded with quantity OF hay,
corn and provisions, besides $500
pounds Of spikes and num-
Der of AK heads-supplies intended 10
be landed at the camp Of the contractors
at Red Bluff, on New river. The hay
and the provisions floated away and were
lost. The spikes and AK heads went to
the bottom and Will probably be saved
There was nobody aboard the tug, but a
deck hand who was acting as Waterman
barely saved himself by taking to the
small boat before the tug careened over
on her side. 1t was supposed that she
was too heavily loaded, but the Captain
states that she has been loaded heavier
before and that she carried very we'll.
1t seems to be certain that she did not
strike on any of the spiles in front OF the
dock, as it was not low water until
O'Clock that morning, some time after she
sank.
Messrs. Gaynor & Co. made a contract
yesterday with NJ. f. Jones to raise her,
and all day, with force of hands and two
flats, he was engaged in the work of pre-
paration. He thinks he will have her
aHnaf ON this mnrnin0,s tide.

"a silent Friend

Quite an excitement has been created
in several families in this city by the re-
coipt of letters signed "a Silent Friend, -
warning them against certain acquaint-
ances. These letters made defamatory
charges against gentlemen wRo were
visiting the ladies of the families. Several
''personals" have appeared in the MORN
mo NEWS asking the "Silent FRIEND to
send his real name, but so far
it is said there has been no
response. A notice appears in to-
days paper asking the party who in
serted the "persOnaP in last Wednes-
days paper to send address TO "Patcr."
The advertiser, who is one of the parties
aggrieyCd, thinks he has clue to the
writer OF the anonymous letters, and pro-
poses % join issues with others who have
leen yilihed aud prosecute the writer.
From present appearances 1t looks as
though there Will be- an interesting case
in court before many days.
