THE GRADY MONUMENT.
Un'"ncd in the Presence of Thousands
Gov. Hill the Orator

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 20. The cere
monies incident to the unwilling of the
Grady monument attracted an immense
crowd OF strangers to the city yesterd ay.
The city bore a holiday attire and
business was to large extent suspended.
One of the principal features of the IN
Velllng ceremonies was the procession
which formed on Mitchell and Washing
ton streets and moved to the statue.
Gov. Hill and the other guests, with
the members of the Moument Commit
tee, took seats on the stand. Gov. Hill
was greeted with loud applause by the
crowd which had assembled about the
monument and which filled Marietta
street in both directions.
1t was shortly after noon when the
Mexican Band, having rendered a selec-
ton, President Northen called the assem-
blage to order. Miss Gussie Grady, the
only daughter of Henry Grady, then
stepped forward and drew the cord
which held the canvas in place about
the figure on the monument. The cloth
slipped from the statue, leaving the
bronze figure revealed.
The monument was designed by Alex
ander Doyle and is of heroic size. 1t
represents Mr.. Grady with uncovered
head standing in an easy attitude with
the left foot somewhat advanced.
The general pose is that of an orator
engaged in delivering a speech, the left
arm hanging by the side and the right
crossing the breast and clasping betwee n
the forefnger and the thumb the lapel of
a full frock coat.
On the right and left of the statue are
allegorical figures of Memory and His
tory, and the figures surmount a great
stone pedestal, the polished sides of
which bear inscriptions.
The grafton of Governor Hill was a
masterpiece, and was received with the
greatest enthusiasm by the assem- led
thousands
Last evening a banquet was given to
Governor Hill by the Young Mons Dam
ocratic League. The Governor responded
TO the toast "Dem ocracy."

When Samuel n. Thornton and Eva
Jewell, of Brooklyn, arrived in Jackson
Vile and told the thrilling story of their
big drift and subsequent rescue and
Ian ding upon Florida shores, Mr. Carter
was sent to interview them. Mr.. Car
ter announced that Sam and Eva were
romancing, and brought proof to show
that he travelled with them in a railroad
car from Pensacola to Milton, a little,
way station between Pensacola and
Jacksonville.
Sam and Eva vigorously denied Mr..
Carter's story. They said that it was
a case of mistaken identity. When they
arrived at their Brooklyn home the dea-
cons of Mount Olivet Church, to which
they belong sent an emissary to Jack

1t resulted in the vindication of Sam and
Eva.

his story is true.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. 22-State
Treasurer Boyer was subjected to rigid
examination yesterday afternoon, and

TO the school district of Philadelphia
but still owed it $445, 00O all of which
was lost. William Livesey, his chief
clerk, whose whereabouts is at present
unknown, was the first to suggest to
him the payment of the money in order
to prevent it from going into the Sink

In pursuance of a conference between
them, he said, Livesey visited the De-
partment of Public Instruction and
asked for the necessary warran is. Any

Cthe witness) was responsible for it. He
deferred greatly to his chief clerk, who

was left in ignorance of $3.50, 600 paid to
John Bardsley on December 81, 1890, in
addition to the drawing of warrants of
$42O, OOO for the same party. He was
also much annoyed about that time by
the failure of the Jamison bankers and

The State Treasurer, by advice of his
counsel, claimed that the money paid to
Bardsley was for the year 1890, and not
for the year ended on the first Monday
in June, 1891, as commended by the AT
