A Peacemaker's Reward.

Getting man out of scrape" is gen.
orally a thankless job. If the task is under
taken for "A monetary consideration the
troubles of the peacemaker are almost al
ways increased. Take, for example, the
case of Abraham Wehner, of New York
city. He undertook to settle breach of
promise suit brought against John Fred
ericks. As the result of his efforts basis
of compromise was reached-that is, the
plaintiff and defendant were married.
When Wehner asked "A fee of s25 for his
services Fredericks responded with a
punch on the nose and the remark; Take
that. You didn't get me out of a scrape,
but placed me in a worse one" Now more
litigation is in progress.

THE OLD ARNOLD TAVERN.

mold" and there remained until May of the
same year. During that period the quaint
old tavern naturally became the center of
interest to the struggling Americans. The
building still stands, but not on its orgi
nal site. Some years ago when the struc-
ture was offered for sale, without the land
on which it stood, Mrs. George w. COLES
became the purchaser and removed it to
her own property, nearly a mile distant, at
a cost of $4,000. 1t came into the market
again the other day, was sold at auction
and its future existence is matter of
doubt.
The building is an interesting relic of
the heroic days of the republic and ought
to be preserved. Washiugton's bedroom,
reception room and the famous ballroom
where the patriot warriors with their
wives and sweethearts danced the stately
mnuet are intact. Indeed, some small eX-
pense for restoration of details would make
the battling identical in appearance with
what it was century ago.

THE MONUMENT TO HENDRICKs.

More than two years ago the admirers of
Thomas \. Hendricks raised funds for the
erection of monument to his memory,
and the accompanying cut shows what the
work NOW nearly completely will look
like when it shall be unveiled, on or about
July 4, this year. The cost of the entire
work, PEDESTAL statue and ornamentation,
is figured at $4,000, and it said that no
work equal to it has ever been com pleted
for the same amount of money.
The pedestal is of light coral granite
from the Bavano quarries in Italy, and it,
with the foundations, is being put in place
under the personal supervision of Mr.. c.
B. Garfield, president of the New England
Monument company. The pedestal stands
on base 20 feet long and 81 feet wide, con-
sisting of three courses, forming steps
about II inches wide. In each side of the
monument is "A niche, the one in front con-
tanning decorations, the one to the west
being vacant, and those to the north and
south containing figures of Justice and
History. Four iluted columns are at the
corners, each surmounted by globe.
Over these is the dome stone, bearing the
cap die on which stands the statue which
crowns the work.
The front niche bears the name Hen

Inscription on the monument Beneath is
bronze wreath of laurel and oak leaves,
which is about three feet in diameter The
casting of this wreath was done at the
Royal foundry at Rome, and the wreath
itself was a prize exhibition at Paris, where
the sculptor who has the contract for the
whole work bought it. Natural leaves
were used for the models.
Mr. Hendricks statue is of course the
principal thing of note in the monument.

height. and is cast las is each of the two

Two Constables Arrested for Mixing
Up in a squabble.
1t is not often that two constables are
arrested in one day, but that is what hap
pened to Detective Wetherhorn and l. R.
Nathans yesterday morning. Policeman
Ungar requested them to accompany him
to the barracks, where the charge was pre-
ferred against them and G. G. Wethering-
ton and a colored carpenter by the name Of
Calmly Singleton.
1t appears that there is dispute between
Capt 7. II. Laird and Mrs. Carrich, who
lives on lot adjoining on Abercorn street,
as to the title to fourteen feet of ground in
the rear OF Capt. Laird's home, which he
claims to have purchased from Mrs Car
rich. Mr.. Galena, son-in-law OF Mrs.
Carrich, had Wetheriugton and Singleton,
who are carpenters, take down the fence
which Capt. Laird had put up,
and, acting under legal advice, Mr..
Charles A Donell, Capt Laird's son-in-law W,
warned them to let it alone. Wether-
horn and Nathans were there at
Galena's instance to see that no
blood was spilled. When Singleton
was ordered to quit saving down the fence
he refused and Mr.. Donell came down on
the saw with an ak, cutting it in two, and
as the work was insisted upon the police
were called in.
Mayor pro tenn. Myers dismissed the pris-
oners with the understanding that they will
not trespass further until authority to pro-
coed is obtained from the proper court.

The Military stay-at-Homes Planning
for the Return of the Augusta
Campers.
The members Of the Irish Jasper Greens
and the Oglethorpe Light Infantry who
remained at home have decided to meet
their returning commands at the depot,
provided they do not return at an unseason-
able hour Of the night, and to entertain
them no matter what time they may return.
The Oglethorpes came to this decision at
q meeting held last night, and the Greens
decided upon the same programme the
night before.
The Savannah Cadets have not held any
meeting 70 decide upon the question yet
but some of the members stated last night
that it could be depended upon that the
company will be received in proper style.
The time at which the encampment will
close has not yet been announced. and con-
sequently the day of the military's return is
uncertain. which prevents any definite
arrangements. The Savannah military are
expected home Saturday night or Sunday
morning, and will be given a rousing re-
ception upon their arrival.
The members Of the Republican Blues
who did not attend the encampment pro-
pose to give that company a reception on
their return, and a nesting will be held to-
night to arrange the details.
