THE FINEST IN THE SOUTH
ARTIST ELLICOTT HAS TAKEN GREAT
CARE WITH IT.
THIS HE SAYS IS THE CAUSE OF DELAY
It Will be Ready For dwelling in May. The
Bronze Work TO be Done in New York.
Description of the Monument
to be Cast

The Vance monument, to be erected
here in Capital Square, will be ready fol
unwilling in May.
The clay model for it is now about
bronze statue will be moulded.
The model is being made by Henry j.
Ellicott, sculptor of Washington, d. c.,
and letter from him yesterday inform
ed the committee having the matter in
charge that it would be ready for their
inspection on next Thursday, March 18th
He adds that there has been some APP
parent delay on his part in getting the
model ready but that this has been due
to the fact that he was forming it with
the very greatest care, hoping to make
it one of the finest pieces of statuary
in the South
The legislative committee by whom the
contract was awarded consisted of DR.. r.
H. Speight, of EdgecOmbe; S. l.. Hart, of
Edgecombe and j.. d. Boushall of Raj
eigh; and the Memorial Association COM
mittee, consisting of r. H. Battle, presi-
dent, and J. G. Brown, treasurer. Since
that time July 6th) Major Hart has died,
leaving as the committee to examine the
model Messrs. Battle. Brown, Speight
and Boushall. Messrs Battle and Brown
will leave here for that purpose next
Thursday morning. Mr.. Boushall and
DR.. Speight will join them next day in
Washington.
and suggest any alterations in it. When
Ill
be made of it, This cast will be then
sent to the bronze foundry of the Gorham
Manufacturing Company, of New York.
There duplicate will be made in bronze
so accurate that the slightest variation
can be detected.
The statue is to be of United States
standard bronze, eight feet six inches
high. The pedestal will be of North
Carolina granite, seven feet six inches
high. The Great. Commoner is represent
ed as standing with his left hand on a
pedestal, on which is draped North
Carolina State flag. His right hand, half
extended, is in its characteristic attitude
when speaking. Between the thumb and
first finger is held a pair of glasses, as
was Senator Vance's habit.
The pose of the body is erect but rest
full, standing with his feet we'll under
him. He is dressed in a Prince Albert
coat, close buttoned. This is the gar
ment he always wore in his later years.
He wears a high collar, with falling ends,
and broad fiat tie.
The whole effect of the statue is re-
markably life-like and characteristic of
this great man in the last years of his
life. Mrs. Vance has seen the model
and pronounced the pose and the likeness
perfect.
The pedestal will be of North Carolina
pink granite. On four sides of it, in bold
relief, will be a torch and wreath bound
together by broad Roman band. On
these bands will be the words: Vance"
"Citi2en" Soldier" Statesman" One
word on each band. For the other in
scriptions Mrs. Vance has asked that
these words-spoken of Senator Vance by
a friend at his death-appear on his
monument:

The Ellicott model was selected in a
contest with twelve other distinguished
sculptors, among them such well known
names as G. T. Brewster, of New York !:

New York; Granville Hastings, of New

first, by the pose; second, by the like
ness; third, by the artistic design of the
pedestal, and fourth, by the general effect
of the whole model.
On all of these points Mr.. Ellicott had
the advantage of his competitors. The
pose of the head in Mr.. Dunbars model
was considered superior to that of Mr.
Ellicott, but in other respects the com
mittee preferred the Ellicott statue.
This artist had the advantage of per-
sonal acquaintance with Senator Vance
and also he was able to get number
of his latest pictures.
The models We're miniatures, two inch
scale to the foot being used.
Mr. Henry ]. Ellicott, the artist, is
Marylander by birth. One of his latest
statues is the equestrian figure of
General Winfield Scott Hancock erected
on the corner of Seventh and r streets
in Washington. The most notable works
that Mr.. Ellicott has modelled are the
Soldiers Monument at Holyoke, Mass;
the group representing Commerce, Pro-
lection and Mechanism on the New
England Life Insurance building, Boston;
the portrait statue of Col. Cameron,
(brother of Simon Cameron) at Sunbury
Mass; the equestrian statue of General
George B.. Mcclellan, on the City Hall
Plaza Philadelphia; the statue of Frank

ASK INCREASED BOND.
Boston & Montana Makes a Demand
Before Montana Supreme Court.

Helena, Dec. 5.-In the supreme court
yesterday arguments We're heard on the
motion recently made by the Boston &
Montana asking that the court require
the Montana Ore Purchasing company
to put up addition bonds to secure the
former company for the value of ores ex-
tracted from the portions of the Penn
sylvania mine in dispute between the two
companies.
Authority was granted to the Ore Pur-
chasing company last June to mine in
the Pennsylvania pending an appeal from
Judge Clancy's discussion in the case
wherein judgment was rendered against
ttl1e Boston & Montana, the bond being
fixed at 100000. 1t is contended that
the value of the ore already taken from
the mine exceeds the amount of the bond
and that EXCESSIVE charges for smelling
have been made by the Ore Purchasing
company.
Superintendent Klepetko of the Boston
& Montana was the only witness called.
His evidence was with reference to the
value of the ore extracted from the dis
puted ground and concerning the ex-
| pense of treatinng ores. He declared
| that in the four and one-half months,
from June Is to Oct 81, this ore from the
! figures given by the Montana Ore Pur-
chasing company was valued at $554, 900.
He was prepared with an array of fig
ures and calculations to back up his
statements. He was directly examined
