MARY TO ALBERT.
The Story of a Ring and of Gettys-
burg.

War Department,
Gettysburg National Park.
Gettysburg. Pa. February l. 1897
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The following brief article from a
Pennsylvania paper may be Of interest
TO your readers:
A York pa veteran, signing himself
"W. A. NJ" writes 10 the Gazette a his
tory connected with a ring in his pos
session, as follows:
at the close of the battle Of Gettys-
burg. when the dead and wounded were
being removed from the battlefield, a
private soldier. named Levi Hart. a resi-
dent Of Gettysburg. who was assisting.
came across the body Of n young colonel
of a Confederate regiment, who had been
killed by a shell. His hand was so torn
that a valuable ring had dropped from
his finger 1t was picked up by this
man. Hart, and, having no way of re-
storing the ring to his relatives. 1t was
kept and worn until the close Of the war
Two years afterward Hart removed his
family to Perry county. Some time after
his removal he became unable TO follow
his occupation. owing to exposure. Du-
ring a three years campaign he had con-
tracted consumption-his health being
sacrificed for his country. The family
would have suffered from actual want
had il not been for benefits he received
from the order Of Red-Men I'm Gettys-
burg. OF which he was a member; and
the independent order Of Odd-Fellows,
Tobovne Lodge, No. CPS, Of which order
the writer was also a member. Hart.
owing TO some fancied obligation or kind
ness shown him by US, on his death
bed gave me the ring TO remember him
by.
THE ring IS a large. carved-gold one,
with a valuable blOodstone setting. The
crimson spots on the stone have become
more bright and larger. after having
been worn constantly for twenty-five
wears There is engraved on the inside,
from Mary to Albert. Whether that
Mary lives. trusting one Of long ago,
Is unknown; whether she, after the cruel
war was over, grieving for her lost lover,
like the other Mary, chose that good part
that shall never be taken from her; or.
as our old comrades say, passed on to
meet her Albert in the happy camping
ground above. are conjectures. The his
tory of the ring shall remain a mystery
until He maketh up His jewels"
In my opinion, the identity of the col
onel referred TO in this article can even
vet be fixed and / am taking steps to
do this. Surely. every man Of feeling
would like TO know more of the untold
story of albert" and MARY"
VIII not the Confederate veterans OF
Virginia. or their friends, aid me in this
inquiry. by informing me If any Virginian
colonel who bore the name OF ALBERT"
was killed on this field by a shell? II
the fallen hero can be identified. then II
viii be I'm order TO secure the ring for
his MARY" or other surviving friends
and. very likely. | can accomplish this
| shall be glad TO hear from any one
who can shed light on the subject Of this
inquiry.
Yours truly.

National Park Commissioner,
(Once) Major Fourth Alabama Regi-
ment.

took ali kinds of treatment, and
visited many famous springs. but
could get only temporary relief; the
disease always returned, and at times
was so painful that it was impossible
for me to use my arms and legs. tried
almost everything that was sug-
gested, and after eighteen years of
suffering, S. S. S. was recommended,
and l was happy to, at last, find a
cure for this painful trouble. S. S. S.
seemed to get at the disease promptly,
and afforded immediate relief"

Failure or thu Jamaica Railroad Compan,.

KINGSTON. Jamaica, Dec. 1.-THE Jamaica
Railway Company has been taken over by tho
Manhattan Trust Company of New York. the
mortgages OF the stockholders. and this corpo.
ration will run the line and assume the com.
pany's responsibilities to the bondholders. The
limo has proved disastrous TO the promoters. the
West India Improvement Company OF New
York. who purchased II from the Government Of
Jamaica In 1883 and built $50 miles OF extern
sions. Their financial failure may mainly be
attributed to incessant disputes ending in long
and expensive actions at law with the Jamaica
Government over matters of their contract. BY
the sale for every mile of extensions built tho
promoters became entitled to one square mile OF
arabic Government land In Jamaica, ana consid-
cradle territory In the ISLAND has passed Into
American possession.
