An Antique Relic.

A curious and interesting relic OF the
Revolutionary war was seen by many
persons last week at the furniture
ware rooms of Funk & Ray on Main
street. 1t was the weather-beaten
and antiquated mess-chest of General
Daniel Morgan, the study hero OF the
early days of Virginia's military glo-
nv. The chest was of pine, heavily
strapped with iron, and was about 81
feet long and feet wide at the bot
tom, tapering to IS inches at the top.
A ponderous old fashioned lock,
minus the key, fastened the lid. The
interior was perfectly plain and
somewhat worn with arduous service.
On the lid was carved with a knife
the words in rude script, Col. Daniel
Morgan The chest had been for
many years the property of the Miss
es Sherrard, of Amherst St., who oc-
cupy the old Morgan mansion, and
was sold by them to Mr. j. G. Stewart,
of Richmond, who prizes it very high
lv as valuable and interesting relic
of one of the most unique and inter
esting characters Of the old colonial
DAYS. Messrs. Funk 4 Ray shipped
the chest to Mr.. Stewart on Thursday.

day says: Larry Finlan, native of
Ireland. and for more than forty years
a resident of this town, and at one
time an employee in the United

ceased, about fifteen years ago, con
ceived the novel idea of making his
own tombstone, and procured piece
of slate three by five feet, cut the
apex in the form Of cross, chiseled
his name, place of birth, and thinking
he would die between the years of
1888 and 1882 cut the first three fig
ures on the face of the stone, but not
diving at that time, he cancelled the
last figure, and substituted 9, and
sent the stone to his lot in the Catho-
lie cemetery. Mr. Finlan was buried
to-day, his tombstone being erected
after the filling Of his grave.

splendid exhibition in every respect
The directors of Morgan's Grove and
other invited guests were handsomely
entertained by the fair managers,
and every courtesy was shown the
visitors by President Stonebraker
and his colleagues. Col. E. M. Mobley,
the chief of police, had much of the
practical management on his shout
ders, and he discharged his duties to
the satisfaction of all concerned.
The Hagerstown Daily NescS says:
The commanding figure and cour-
teous bearing of Col. Morgan, of Vir-
ginia, the chief-marshal, met with
much favorable comment.

Col John E. Schley, also of Virginia,
and one Of the assistant marshals, at
the close Of the fair, upon surrender
ing his insignia of Office to President
John w. Stonebraker, was highly
complimented by that official for his
untiring efforts for the success of the
fair, and for the acceptable manner
in which he discharged his duties as
one of the marshals.
