GEN. NATHANIEL GREExE's GRAVE
MIR. 4. r.. Wright Points Out the Spot
Where the Hero Lies Buried.

Allen R. Wright. Esq. Of Atlanta, for
merly of this city is spending few days
here with his daughter. Mrs. McIntire. He
is en- route to waycross to attend the an
nual meeting of the Grand Lodge of Odd
Fellows, Of which he is past grand master.
having served in that Office in 1865. Mr..
Wright, although SO years of age, Is hale.
active. bright man. He spent seventy
years OF his life In Savannah where he
was born in ISL. His father and mother
and other members Of his family rest be-
meath the sod in the cd cemetery, now
Colonial Park
Mr.. Wright paid visit yesterday TO his
friends In the Morning News office. He
was one of the first subscribers to the pa
per, and Is proud of it. He said in con-
Versauon on the subject, that some time
ago, in a history of Georgia, then appear
ing in the Atlanta Constitution, II was
stated that Gen! Nathaniel Greene was
buried at Cumberland Island. Mr.. Wright
also referred TO other stories as 10 the
burial place of the Revolutionary hero,
among them one to the effect that Greene
remains were placed in the vault of the
Graham family and afterwards removed
and dumped into an unmarked grave by
revengeful member of that family. He
said he never heard until late years
for when boy he and every other boy
knew the grave.
In tho-e days, along IN the Us, che
small to-S of the town would
meet on the steps of Wesley Chapel just
opposite the Oglethorpe avenue gate to
the cemetery, for stroll, and would take
in the burying ground Among the I'M
marked but well-known graves was that
OF Gen. Greene. Mr. Wright having mem
toned that he could point it out, 1t was
suggested that he visit the cemetery and
see IL he could locate the grave He as
scented, and accompanied by a representa-
tive of the Morning News, visited Colonial
Park. The removal of the old brick wall
to some extent made the landmarks uncer-
TAIN but after carefully going over the
ground, Mr.. Wright located Gen. Greene s
grave in the northwest corner of the cem-
etery, near the third palmetto tree inside
row, on Oglethorpe avenue, counting from
Abercorn street, and not far from tomb
stone erected to Thomas Palmer.
Gen. Greene was buried June 20, 1888,
and 1t was only thirty-1ve TO forty years
after, that Mr.. Wright, as a boy, had the
grave pointed out to him. 1t seems q $ II
there could be no mistake about the mat
ter Gen. Greene was a man who was
famous, and many of those who had at
tended his funeral We're doubtless sill liY-
ing when Mr. Wright was a boy, and the
location of the grave was known to them
and they undoubtedly talked to their chill
dren about IT, A memorial stone might be
erected where Mr.. Wright has located the
grave, so that there will be no further
doubt about where~the friend of Wash
ington'' is buried.

Her Remains VIII BE Laid to Rest
To-day in BOnaventure.
Madam st. Roques Playter died yester
day morning at the Savannah Hospital
from consumption. She had been in i'll
health for long time. Recently she was
brought from her home at Thunderbolt to
Ihe hospital, where she remained until she
died.
Madame Playter was known to many
people in Savannah. She came here from
London twenty years ago. For years she
had taught music and was one of the best
known pianists in the city. Her life was
an unfortunate one and for several years
i'll health made the struggle for a livell-
hood difficult. Madam Playter was about
so years of age. In her youth before she
came to this country, she had taught mu-
sic among the nobility of England. AL
though her ability as a musician and
teacher were recognized. in later years her
efforts had not been successful and her
death was the ending Of an unhappy life.
Her remains We're removed yesterday
from the hospital to Henderson's undertake
ing rooms from which the funeral will
take place at IL o'clock this morning.
The funeral service will be read by
Rev. Charles II. Strong. The burial will
DO in Bonaventure.

HIS Friends Think Marshal Powers
Job would Suit Him.

Ills ffienUs Ihfnk MARSHAL SOWer's
Job Would Suit Him.
Mr. J. Robert Dreamer viii leave in a
day or two for Liberty county, where he
will spend some time in recuperating after
his arduous exertions in the recent polit-
ical campaign. Mr.. Dreamer takes con-
siderable credit to himself for the result
in the primary and with good cause. He
was the constant watcher for the Citizens
Club at the registration and in addition
superintended the registration OF the vot-
ers favorable to that side. The large per-
centage of new voters on the registration
list may be attributed largely 10 Mr..
Creamer's efforts.

cent primary" he said yesterday. 81 was
frequently told, not only by the opposition.

causes were unable 10 vote II will be found
that barely per cent. failed TO vote. New

was there an election which 81 per cent. of
the registered vote was polled. 1 take

II is generally agreed among he lead rs
of the successful faction that Mr.. Gre am
er is entitled 10 some recognition for his
very capable work. The city marshafs
job has been sized up as exactly suited TO
Mr., Creamer, but the trouble is that City
Marshal Power is entrenched behind The
city charter and there seems to be no way
10 get him out until the expiration of his
term Jan. l. A charge of offensive parti-
sanship, while IL might held against Mar
shall Power. would also hold against sew
eral of the administra ton officials, oni
might make an inconvenient precedent for
thefuture. The general charge of ineom-
potency is being talked of, but it is doubt
full If this would hold. Marshal Power
would doubtless refer to the records of his
office as the best evidence of his eff1clsn-
cy. That Mr.. Power will be made to walk
the plank at the first convenient opportupi-
ty no one doubts. but what the occasion
will be has not appeared.
