BENNINGTON BATTLE MONUMENT


Its Construction.
The appropriation of 81 O0O made by the
Inst Congress for the battle monument at
bennington will be available rho coming
season for tho purposes designated i'll the
act, says Forbes in TIE Sos ton journal. The
Bennington Battle Monument association
has nearly $1,000 in It's treasury and is free
from dobt. These two sums make a fund of
some ST., 000 which is sufficient amount
to build an iron stairway or walk in the
shaft, and also to make quite an addition to
the monument grounds. The plan which
the directors Of the association have under
consideration for reaching the last landing,
or outlook in the shaft contemplates an iron
ramp 10 the first landing, which is 10
feet above the base with circular stars
to the second outlook II feet higher. The
proposed ramp would form an inclined plane
easy, of ascent besides being novel mode
of reaching the top of the monument. There
is at present no ramp in u.s. in any tower
or monument in America, and so far as is
known, thore is but one used in Europe, in
the tower of st. Marks church, Venice
This is Il circular ramp made of stone, up
which Napoleon once rode on horseback.
The ramp for the bennington monument
could be built in season for the dedcatory
exercises, which occur August 10. The in
terror of the shaft is 20 feet square at the
base and nearly the same at the height Of
| 1870 feet.
The directors are having plans prepared
and estimates of the cost made Of the pro-
/ jected ramp by Boston persons. In the
opinion of expert architects the inclined
plane should not rise to exceed one inch to a
/ foot, which would make an ascent of seven
feet in one C rcut of the monument This
would make a walk of about one-third of a
mile in length There should ba level land
ings at every turn, and the plane should ba
not less than four feet wide at the top The
directors favor the construction of n ramp,
and believe that it is the most feasible and
practical device for ascending the monu-
meut.

TWO SOLID FAMILIES.
The Average Weight of One is 225

From the Richmond DisDnfch


Pounds and of the Other $50.
From the Richmond Dispatch.
Valentine Hechler, Jr., told me some
weeks ago that he and mis- five brothers and
sisters had family reunion recently, and
after dinner they went TO the scales to COM
pare weights. The aggregate of the six
brothers and sisters was over 800 pounds,
or something over an average of 225 pounds
for each member of the family. Mr. Hechler
at that time said he would challenge any
other family OF the same number to produce
like figures in avoirdupois, and it seemed to
me that they undoubtedly had clean
sweep over the heavy weight championship
of Virginia, If not the south.
But, after all, truth is stranger than fic-
tion. and yesterday had occasion to DR. D
around aud see the best and most kind
hearted OF follows, George Mountcastle, or
baby" Mouutcastle, as he was known
when he went south with the Howitzers and
Lee Camp veterans last February. Now,
everybody knows that Mr.. Mountcastle is
by no means living frailty, and though he
is most certainly and Enthusiastically fat, few
would guess either his right weight or hight
correctly. At present he stands feet l 10
inches, and tips the scales at an even 400
pounds This is certainly tremendous
weight, and when converse with the genial
confederate veteran and see how he eliovs
life, l sometimes half suspect that 200
pounds Of this figure is pure, unaduiterated
ioliity.
But it is what Mr.. Mountcastle told me of
the rest OF his family that surprised me, and
will, | doubt not astound V. Hechler
Jr. He said that his father used to weigh
265 pounds, while his mother frequently
went over 300. The following figures. how
ever, will place the Mountcastles in the lead
on weights, and at this time verify believe
that no one will q able to surpass them.
George Mountcastle tips the scales, as l
have said, at 400; John r. Mountcastle
at $50 or more; A. L. Mountcastle at
1877; William A. Mountcastle at 235,
while Mrs. Annie E. Broaddus and Mrs. M.
A. Motley. the two sisters of our worthy
citizens. weigh 225 and IA respectively.
This makes the combined weight of the
family ,63l pounds, and the average weight
of each member fraction over $50.

FISHER AMES' SUIT.
Calvin SOmers Asked Some Tn.
pleasant Queries.

The trial Of the case of Fisher Ames
against Mrs. Mabel Treadwell was resumed
in Judge Hunts department yesterday, and
Mrs. TreadwelPs brother, Calvin Somers,
was again placed OH the rack. Lawyer Van
Ness asked him whether Mr.. Ames ever
bought a piece of property in his name ?
The question was asked to show that, al
though Ames had said that SomerS was dis
honest, lie trusted him far enough to buy
property in his name.
Somers answered that Ames had bought
property in his name, and without his con-
sent. Ames told him nothing about the
transaction until he asked a conveyance of
the property by deed. Somers also corrob-
GRATED the testimony of his sister relative to
the transaction by which she gave Jones the
$4,000 to compromise the suit OF Reay
against Butler. In answer to a question by
Dunno SOmerS said that he had been em-
plOyed in Sydney V. Smiths law office for
ten years.
Were you not discharged from an Office
for tampering with private correspond
ence?' asked Dunno.
The question was objected to, and the OBJ
lection was sustained by the Court.
Didn't he discharge you, saying: You
may think you have power over me, SOM
ers, but you can't blackmail Inc out OF one
dolar?"
mo. sir. l was not discharged from that
office"
How have you been employed since tina t

Witness was asked what other sources OF
revenue he had, and replied that he had
money invested in Southern securities.
'Where?"
"1n louisiana"
''In the lottery?"
Witness declined to answer, but, being adj
vised by the Court, said that he had money
invested in the lottery and In cotton securi-
ties. He was next asked whether he was
ever divorced, and replied that his case is
still pending.
The afternoon session of the court was
largely consumed by the examination of
witnesses to show that Ames' reputation is
bad, and in rebuttal Fisher Ames' clerk
was examined, and produced evidence Of
the work he had done under Ames' instruc-
ton and'fOr Mrs. Treadwell. The rial will
be continued TODAY
