MADISON, Me-. Feb. 24.-At about 4
a. m. a large meteor, apparently about
the size of a full moon, was observed in
the sky. It burst with loud report over
Madison village, blazing fragments scat
tering in every direction. Houses were
shaken as if by an earthquake, and hun
dreds of people were awakened from
sleep by the conclusion, which rever-
brated for some moments, sounding like
heavy rolling thunder, while the shoot
ing particles seemed like so many flashes
of lightning.

DECORATING The GRAVES
OF the Brave Who Sacrificed Their
Lives.
THE WALKER LIGHT GUARDS SALUTE
Some of the Richmond Soldiers Buried In
the Hebrew CONGRATULATIONS
Monuments There.

The Hebrew residents of this city yesterday
observed Memorial Day by decorating the
graves of the Hebrew soldiers buried in the
cemetery near the almshouse.
The plot where the heroes sleep their last
sleep is surrounded by very artistic fence
made of iron. consisting of stacked arms COW
cred with flags and fatigue caps. knapsacks,
sabres. etc
The ceremonies were quiet. consisting only
in the decoration of the graves. Invitations
had been issued TO the ladies OF the Holly
wood and lakewood Memorial Associations.
There was no speech making. for the reason
that the place vacated by the death of Rabbi
Harris had not yet been filed.
IL had been announced that the Walker
Light Guards would fire a salute over the
graves OF the dead at o'clock. but up TO half
past they did not put IN an appearance, and
most of the visitors of the cemetery started
for home When the military finally did ar
rive, the crowd awaiting them was COMPARE
lively small.
II is pretty we'll understood that of all the
memorial associations in this city, none have
more faithfully performed their sacred task
than that of the Hebrew ladies. On each
succeeding year they have carried out their
labor of love with but little assistance outside
of their own circle.
There are some fifty-odd graves of ex-Con-
federates in the beautiful little burial place on
the north side But these are by no means all
their graves. for large numbers of Hebrew he
rOes are scattered among the dead at Holly
wood, lakewood and elsewhere.
Among the Richmond soldiers inferred at
the Hebrew burying ground are Marx Myers,
of the Richmond Grays, killed at Second
Manassas; Isaac Levy. brother of the we'll
known Levy Brothers: Henry Adler and
Henry Smith. Messrs. Levy and Adler were
members of the Blues and Mr. Smith of the
Otey battery
The Hebrew Memorial Association is about
twenty-five years old and it has been kept ia
existence through the earnest efforts of Mrs.
Edward Cohen. Miss Rachel Levy and other
Jealous ladies of the Hebrew faith Mr. Marx
Myers. mentioned above. was a son of the
late Joseph Myers and was a brother of Mr..
Herman j. Myers. Mrs. NJ. Rosenbaum and
Mrs. c. b. Goodman. Both he and Ike Levy.
son of the late Abraham Levy, were popular
and estmable young men and gallant sol
diers Messrs Adler and Smith. while not so
well known, had the esteem of all their COM
rades.
There are several very handsome monu-
ments in the Jewish cemetery and there re-
pose some of our best known citizens of other
days.
There are the tombs of the Rosenbaums,
Mllhisers. Thalhimers, HutZlers, Davises.
Mchelbachers Rev. DIR. Harris. and other
names that have reflected credit not alone
upon the chosen people, butupon our city and
