THE LEE MONUMENT.
A Statue Of the Confederate GeneraI
Unveiled at Richmond, Va.

With blare of trumpet, beat Of drum and
the booming Of cannon, the monument Of
General Robert E. Lee, erected by the ladies
of Virginia, was unveiled in Richmond, Va,
in the presence of a great multitude of
people. The streets of the city had been
decorated very elaborately and tastefully for
the occasion. From all the business build
ings were swung .streamers, in which the
colors Of the Confederacy blended with the
National emblem.
The procession started at noon and in
cluded at least TO- 900 men, with Ex-Governor
Lee as IT'S Chief Marshal.
When the procession reached the statue,
after brief invocation by the Rev. Charles
Minnigerode, Of the Episcopal Church, Gov
ernor Mckinney introduced General Early
as Chairman of the meeting.
Taking the gavel from Governor McKin-
nsy's hand, General Early announced in
few we'll chosen words the orator Of the oc-
casion, Colonel Archer Anderson.
At the conclusion of his address General
Joseph E. Johnston arose from MS seat be-
hind the orators stand and, leaving the plat
form, walked toward the monument. On
either side walked a veteran Confederate
from the Soldiers Home, Joseph Marion
White and j. j. ONiell.
Reaching the foot of the monument, he
took in his hand the end of the long rope
which held the great white veil about the
statue. A gentle pressure, and the veil
parted, and falling on either side disclosed
the beautiful outlines Of the statue. As they
came into view shout went up from the as
semblage in volume so great that it almost
drowned the boom Of the cannon.
The Lee monument is situated on the Allen
plat in the west end of the city. The monu-
ment is placed at the intersection of two wide
avenues on ths summit of ascending grades.
1t is enclosed in a circle of 200 feet in
diameter with a street sixty-five feet
in width on each side. The pedestal and base
are of white granite, the columns dark blue.
The height Of the pedestal is forty feet and
few inches and that of the statue slightly
more than twenty feet, making the total
height about sixty-one feet above the
ground. Lee is pictured as he appeared
upon the battlefield Of Gettysburg
The horse which e. bsstrides has ali ffofE
feet on the ground YET he appears as II in
| the act OF walking A forefoot is planted
in advance while the hind foot on
the same side seems about to follow.
The head is slightly bent to one side, while
the tail falls gracefully clear Of the
tanks. General Leo's dress is plain. He
is girt with q sash which presumably
hides a belt from which swings the
sword CT a commander of cavalry. He
is without epaulets, but upon the
forearm of the coat sleeve is an ornament of
broad braid. His hat is crushed in his right
hand, while he holds the reins in his left.

HOLOCAUST IN TEXAS,
The Fort Worth Spring Palace
Burned During q Crowded Ball.


Burned During a Crowded Ball.
A dispatch from Fort Worth, Texas, says:
The Grand Spring Palace here is now, at
11:3O o'clock, smoldering mass, and many
lifeless bodies are in the ruins A
magnificent ball. the like of which id
brilliancy North Texas had never seen,
was given in the Palace on the night Of the
confagration. There was q concert lasting
until ten o'clock, when the dancing began.
Guests were present from all over the South
and many from other sections among them
Russell 3. Harrison son Of the President.
The fire broke out during the dancing, and
terrible panic ensued In the confusion it
was impossible to tell how many parished,
but the number may not exceed six.
Mr. Harrison was about to leave the build
ing at about nine o'clock, when President
Paddock, Vice-President Burbage, and Editor
Malone of the Fort Worth Gazette recognized
him and escorted him through the build
ing until about ten o'clock, when Mr..
Harrison and his friends moved toward
the landing. and Mr.. Sleicher pointing
out the highly inhammable character Of
the decoration, made up of cotton,
hve-oak moss, grasses etc., said q
spark in such q building would lead to
frightful loss of life. Vice-Presdent Bur-
bage pointed out that the structure was lit
by electricity, that no smoking was per-
mitted, and that guards with fire e1tinguish-
ers were stationed at frequent intervals
Hardly had he uttered the words before
cry was heard, followed by the shrieks of
hundreds of women on the upper floor. Mr..
Sleicber turned to Mr.. Harrison with
blanched face and said: "Its fire; save
yourselfr'
"Stand STILL" shouted Harrison "Stay
where You are, and pass out orderly"
The stairway upon which he stood was in
stantly blocked by surging mass Of men
and fainting women, through which Har-
rison tried to make his way to save
q little child which he and others had
noticed lying asleep behind the exhibit rail-
ing in an obscure corner of the building.
Mr.. Harrison stood his ground, begging the
terrified women not to give way and helping
to extricate them from the crowding mass,
until finally the stairway was closed.
He then made final effort to mount the
stairway and save the child, but it was too
late. The flames were burning the top
rails and decorations. Mr.. Harrison
hurried from the building, first telling q
frantic doorman to carry out the big
record book in which the names of visitors
were recorded. By the time he reached the
outside the roof the palace was one great
blaze. Women were running to and
fro, shrieking for their husbands and chill
dren and from the opposite windows OF the
fiery furnace the forms of men and women
clinging to windows and dropping twenty
feet to the ground could be seen. The loss Is
estimated at 100000

PLUNGED TO DEATH,
A Carload of Passengers Goes
Through an Open Draw.

n CdrlOau OIL passengers OOts
Through an Open Draw.
The Oakland narrow gauge local train ran
into an open draw on the Webster Street
Bridge, near San Francisco, Cal. The engine,
tender and first car. crowded with passengers,
went through and at least twenty persons
were drowned.
Thirteen bodies were recovered
Two persons received injuries from which
it was believed they could not recover.
The accident was caused through the care
lessness of the bridge tender, Dunlap, who
had charge of the bridge. He had opened
the draw to permit a yacht to pass, but
failed to signal the approaching train to
stop. The bridge was within its own width
of being closed when the engine dashed
through.
Both engine and car were completely sub
merged, as the tide was at nearly full food.
Engineer Dunn, as he neared the edge of the
bridge, saw danger, and blew the whistles Of
warning, and went down with his machine
As quickly as possible the living were res
cued and the dead removed. Another car
passed half way over the bridge approach,
but was held back by weight of the rear por-
ton Of the train. The rescue Of the passen.
gers was largely effected by rowboats.
At o'clock that night nineteen bodies had
been recovered, and it was estimated that
twenty-nine in all were lost. It is doubtful
whether the missing bodies VII be recovered,
as the current Is 80 swift they viii bs swept
out into the ocean.

More Than 10000 Children
March Through the Streets.

The annual parade of Sunday-school Ghil-
dren in Brooklyn took place few days ago
under bright skies The church bell rang at
eleven o'clock A. NJ: as asignal to prepare
for the annual exercises. The arrangements
for the parade had been made by commit
tee which had served in the same capacity
heretofore This was the sixty-frSt anniyer-
sary parade of the schools of the Brooklyn
Sunday-school Union. 1t was estimated
that about TO, 600 children, teachers and Off
GERS were marshaled in the eleven divisions
after the exercises in about fifty churches,
where hymns were sung and addresses were
raade.
The division which met in Prospect Park
included twenty-seven schools from some Of
the princiI al churches, and there were it was
estimated, about II, 500 children in the ranks
Some of the schools went to the park early in
the day and picnicked in the groves and upon
the meadows. About 2 O'clock they as
sembled around the stand in the lower end of
the Long Meadow in seats reserved for them.
and after band concert the Anniversary
hymns were sung. Under the leadership OF
Marshal Robert W. Firth the parade took
place through lines marked out by guidons,
the spectators being kept off the central space
of the Long Meadow by ropes. Upon hillock

and others. The gay costumes of the little
girls, and the brightly colored banners made
a pleasing contrast with the green grass in
t1e bright sunshine Many thousands of
fspsctators in carriages and upon horseback,
as well as on foot, witnessed the parade.
Ten other divisions in as many parts of the
city. marched in the streets after holding an
piversary exercises in scores of churches, and
after parading the members Of the schools

churches. The Heights division was led by
Dwight Studwell, of Plymouth Church, and
